Water line suit back in lower court

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Mississippi Court of Appeals is sending a subdivision developer’s lawsuit against the Corinth Public Utilities Commission, Corinth Gas and Water Department and the City

of Corinth back to the Alcorn County Circuit Court.

In a decision handed down this week, the Court of Appeals partly affirmed and partly reversed the decision of Circuit Judge James L. Roberts Jr. The civil suit, filed in June 2009,

deals with alleged damage done to the property by the Corinth Gas and Water Department in 2006 during the installation of water lines when William T. Kelley was in the process of developing the Magnolia Lake Estates subdivision.

The circuit court judge granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, who raised various defenses under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act. The circuit court ruled that the statute of limitations expired before Kelley filed his notice

of claim and that Kelley’s contract and inverse condemnation claims failed as a matter of law.

The Court of Appeals, however, ruled that there is a genuine issue of fact as to whether KelPlease see LAWSUIT | 5A

Today is Sunday, Jan. 24, the 24th day of 2016. There are 342 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: In 1984, Apple Computer began selling its first Macintosh model, which boasted a builtin 9-inch monochrome display, a clock rate of 8 megahertz and 128k of RAM.

On this date: In 1742, Charles VII was elected Holy Roman Emperor during the War of the Austrian Succession.

In 1848, James W. Marshall discovered a gold nugget at Sutter’s Mill in northern California, a discovery that led to the gold rush of ‘49.

In 1908, the Boy Scouts movement began in England under the aegis of Robert BadenPowell.

In 1924, the Russian city of Petrograd (formerly St. Petersburg) was renamed Leningrad in honor of the late revolutionary leader. (However, it has since been renamed St. Petersburg.)

In 1942, the Roberts Commission placed much of the blame for America’s lack of preparedness for Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short, the Navy and Army commanders.

In 1945, Associated Press war correspondent Joseph Morton was among a group of captives executed by the Germans at the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp in Austria.

In 1961, a U.S. Air Force B-52 crashed near Goldsboro, North Carolina, dropping its payload of two nuclear bombs, neither of which went off; three crew members were killed.

In 1963, a U.S. Air Force B-52 on a training mission crashed into Elephant Mountain in Maine after encountering turbulence and losing its vertical stabilizer; seven of the nine crew members were killed.

In 1965, British statesman Winston Churchill died in London at age 90.

In 1975, the extremist group FALN bombed Fraunces Tavern in New York City, killing four people. Pianist Keith Jarrett performed The Koeln Concert in Germany.

In 1985, the space shuttle Discovery was launched from Cape Canaveral on the first secret, all-military shuttle mission.

In 1989, confessed serial killer Theodore Bundy was executed in Florida’s electric chair.

Selmer man booked in stabbing attack

Prentiss County on disaster declaration

SAVANNAH. Tenn. — A Selmer man was arrested Thursday night on charges of attempted second-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault, according to a release by the Savannah Police Department.

Michael King, 33, was arrested in connection with a stabbing that injured three people Wednesday night in the 100 block of Bellwood Street in Savannah.

The victims were taken to the Hardin Medical Central with non-lifethreatening injuries.

JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant announced that additional counties have been added to Mississippi’s disaster declaration due to the severe storms, tornadoes and flooding in December.

Monroe, Prentiss and Panola counties are now eligible for FEMA’s Individual Assistance Program. Five counties were deemed eligible for FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.

“These designations are the next step to helping Mississippians recover from December’s storms,” Gov. Bryant said. “We will continue to work with local, state, federal, nonprofit and volunteer agencies to assist with any unmet needs and in counties not designated for federal assistance.”

Residents and businesses affected in Benton, Coahoma, Marshall, Monroe, Panola, Prentiss, Quitman and Tippah counties may apply now by going to www. disasterassistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621FEMA (3362). Those who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired can call 1-800462-7585. Those who use 711 or Video Relay Services can call 1-800621-3362 to register.

FEMA’s Individual Assistance Program helps eligible applicants with things like: ■ Temporary housing assistance.

■ Uninsured or underinsured personal property losses.

■ Medical, dental and funeral expenses caused by the disaster.

■ Other disaster-related expenses or serious needs.

■ Low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration are available to cover residential and business losses not covered by insurance.

Residents in Monroe, Panola and Prentiss counties who have already registered for disaster assistance with FEMA do not need to register again.

Clay, Itawamba, Monroe, Prentiss and Tallahatchie counties are eligible for all categories of FEMA’s Public Assistance Program, which provides assistance to state, tribal and local governments, as well as certain nonprofits. Public Assistance provides grants to help with debris removal, emergency protective measures, roads and bridges and repair or replacement of publicly owned buildings and infrastructure.

Coahoma, Benton, Marshall, Quitman and Tippah counties were designated for FEMA’s Individual Assistance Program on Jan. 4.

Booneville hospital earns national honor BOONEVILLE — Putting patient care as the number one priority has earned Baptist Memorial Hospital of Booneville a nationally recognized award for excellence.

The hospital’s ambulatory surgery unit was honored this week with the 2015 Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award.

The award recognizes medical organizations who achieve top marks for patient care on surveys returned by their patients. Recipients of the award are among the top 5 percent of performers nationwide. Patients are asked to rate the hospital on a variety of questions related to the quality of their experience during their time at the facility.

This marks the second time in as many years BMH-Booneville has been recognized with the honor, presented by Press Ganey, one of the nation’s leading providers of performance analytics and patient experience management for hospitals and other health care organizations across the country.

BMH Booneville CEO James Grantham told the employees gathered for the award presentation that the honor recognizes their hard work and the commitment they show each day for putting patients first and truly caring about those they serve.

Truckload sale at

an initiative to connect business and industry to the wealth of university assets housed within Mississippi Public Universities. The initiative has a website, msben.com, to facilitate these connections.

“The Mississippi Business Engagement Network serves as a way for business leaders, economic developers and site selectors to collaborate with our universities, said Dr. Glenn Boyce, Commissioner of Higher Education. “The website was created to provide answers and make connections in a quick and easy manner.”

The Mississippi Business Engagement Network is designed to connect business leaders and economic developers with all of the resources, experts and research capabilities within Mississippi Public Universities and help develop, grow and sustain collaborative relationships between the business community and the university system.

“Connecting Mississippi businesses to the assets within our universities is vitally important – especially the asset of our talented students,” said Blake Wilson, President & CEO of the Mississippi Economic Council. “Working with MEC’s Leadership Mississippi Program, MBEN developed a unique internship program to allow students to gain real-world knowledge of the workplace, as well as provide employers an opportunity to work with the future business leaders of our state.”

Mississippi Public Universities have partnered with the Mississippi Research Consortium, the Mississippi Economic Council, Mississippi Development Authority and the Mississippi Economic Development Council to develop the site and ensure that it is responsive to the needs of business leaders and economic developers.

“Providing efficient information is what MBEN is all about and MEDC is proud to be a partner of the of the web-based portal that connects local and regional economic developers, chamber of commerce executives and site-selectors to the many resources that Mississippi’s research universities have to offer,” said Mary Swope, Executive Director of the Mississippi Economic Development Council.

Literary trail finds new home at MSU STARKVILLE — The nation’s first and only tri-state literary trail has found a new home at Mississippi State University.

The Southern Literary Trail recently accepted an offer from Fances Coleman, dean of University Libraries at MSU, to base the trail at the university.

Placing the headquarters there will help the trail have access to the university’s vast amount of resources and support, thus allowing it to expand its goal of promoting the South’s cultural heritage while celebrating its classic writers.

The trail features writers from 20th century classical literary fiction.

Inclusion is posthumous, so southern writers such as Tennessee Williams, Bordon Deal, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty and many others are included.

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

Let’s support sales tax referendum Before we all get on our anti-tax bandwagon, let’s take a serious look at what Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin and the Board of Aldermen are trying to do with getting city streets up to par.

First, some facts. Then, some thoughts.

The mayor will again ask Mississippi lawmakers to support a tax increase referendum to repair streets throughout the city.

The Board of Aldermen voted Tuesday to sign the infrastructure resolution which calls for a 0.25 percent special city sales tax.

The tax would be used to fix aging infrastructure, including the repaving and repairs of three major thoroughfares in the city.

Sidewalk improvements and the addition of ADA access would also be included.

“I’ve been lobbying the past few years for this opportunity to let our citizens decide if they want to fix our infrastructure,” Irwin said last week during the board meeting.

The revised resolution includes the repaving of Harper Road, Shiloh Road and part of Tate Street from Harper Road to Fulton Drive. These roads are the major links within the city and the most traveled outside of U.S. Highway 72.

A similar resolution signed by the mayor and Board of Aldermen last year gained little attention during the 2015 legislative session and a referendum never reached the ballot.

Unlike the last resolution, this new one states once the work is done and everything is paid, the tax would stop.

“I think that is a very important addition,” noted the mayor.

We agree.

The city projected a 0.25 percent sales tax would generate around $1 million annually in 2015. Irwin said he believes the projects listed in the new resolution would cost $3 million to $4 million to complete.

If supported at the capitol and a bill is drafted by the governor, a referendum vote could appear on the ballot as early as November.

We are hopeful our legislative delegation helps us get this matter on the ballot.

We also want to go on record as being in favor of this increased sales tax.

Here’s why.

We are fortunate in Corinth to be a regional retail and food sales hub. Next time you are in a parking lot of a major retail outlet or a restaurant, take a look at the license plates.

There are many people from Hardin and McNairy counties in Tennessee and Prentiss, Tippah and Tishomingo counties in Mississippi doing business in Corinth.

And we appreciate their business and the additional sales tax to go along with it.

These people are also using our streets, so why not let them help us fix our streets?

Think about it. A sales tax increase would be shared by city residents, plus Alcorn County citizens and people from a greater region, what we call the Crossroads area.

And the best part? City residents will still get to vote on it.

We say bring it. And let’s get it passed.

Dollars for hostages Every American should be glad that American hostages have been freed by the tyrannical Iranian regime and are being reunited with family, friends and coworkers.

Less satisfying is the return of Iran’s $400 million trust fund, used to buy military equipment, which was frozen in 1979, along with its diplomatic relations with the U.S. (plus what President Obama ludicrously called “appropriate interest” of $1.3 billion), all returned to what the U.S. State Department branded the world’s “preeminent sponsor of terrorism.” Expecting Iran to use this windfall for purposes other than terrorism would be like expecting a kidnapper to donate the ransom money to a children’s hospital.

While President Obama praised himself and his “diplomatic team” for concluding the Iranian nuclear deal, which he claims will ensure that Iran “is never allowed to build a nuclear weapon,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s world view has not changed one

My Father, may I be careful of getting weary and missing the best through the need of rest. Intensify my desire for the songs and glorious ways, that I may not settle into dullness and slumber, while others pass on in the light. I pray for a keener sense of the possessions made possible by the deeds and cares of noble men and women. Amen.

A verse to share Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

in violation of the nuclear agreement or using such allegations as an excuse to resume its nuclear program.

Skeptics are right to believe their program continues out of sight, despite President Obama’s assurances that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency will catch any violation. Iran has barred IAEA inspectors from sites the government wanted to be kept secret. Why would it not do so again once our check clears the bank?

Pleasurable outcomes do not always validate policy and our enemies in Iran, and among the various terrorist groups it supports, are bound to receive the message that if they can just grab Americans and hold them hostage long enough, America — at least under this administration, which they perceive to be weak — will give them what they want. The kidnapping of three American contractors in Iraq may be an indication that terrorist groups have received that message.

What a contrast to Iran’s 1981 release of 52 American

hostages, all held for 444 days. It came on the day of President Ronald Reagan’s Inauguration, an obvious indictment of the Carter administration’s weakness.

Commentators at the time said they thought the Ayatollah Khomeini believed Reagan was a “cowboy” and might actually drop a nuclear bomb on Iran if the Americans were not freed. That and Reagan’s subsequent hardline approach to the Soviet Union came to be known as “peace through strength.”

The American left’s approach might be characterized as “war through weakness.”

This time around, in addition to the money, Tehran receives clemency for seven Iranians indicted or imprisoned in the U.S. for sanctions violations. Clemency is certainly within a president’s authority, though official U.S. policy over several administrations has been that the U.S. does not negotiate with terrorists ... only terrorist regimes, apparently.

iota. “In (implementing) the deal,” Rouhani said, “all are happy except Zionists, Cal warmongers, Thomas sowers of discord among Columnist Islamic nations and extremists in the U.S. The rest are happy.”

This is a regime that allowed the beating of Christian missionary Saeed Abedini in an attempt to force him to renounce his faith and convert to Islam. We are repeatedly told by clueless Western political leaders that Islam is a “religion of peace” and that the Koran prohibits “coercion” in matters of faith (Surah 2:256). By your fruits you shall know them.

In a brazen display of chutzpah, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that when it comes to the nuke deal, it’s the U.S. that needs monitoring because it simply cannot be trusted. Iran is not beyond claiming that the U.S. is

Those of us who like to believe that human beings are rational can sometimes have a hard time trying to explain what is going on in politics. It is still a puzzle to me how millions of patriotic Americans could have voted in 2008 for a man who for 20 years — TWENTY YEARS — was a follower of a preacher who poured out his hatred for America in the most gross gutter terms.

Today’s big puzzle is how so many otherwise rational people have become enamored of Donald Trump, projecting onto him virtues and principles that he clearly does not have, and ignoring gross defects that are all too blatant.

There was a time when someone who publicly mocked a handicapped man would have told us all we needed to know about his character, and his political fling would have been over.

But that was before we became a society where common decency is optional.

Yet there are even a few people with strong conservative principles who have lined up with this man, whose history has demonstrated no principles at all, other than an ability to make self-serving deals, and who has shown what Thorstein Veblen once called “a versatility of convictions.”

With the Iowa caucuses coming up, it is easy to un-

derstand why Iowa governor Terry Branstad is slamming Trump’s chief rival, Thomas Senator Ted Sowell Cruz, who has opposed Columnist massive government subsidies to ethanol, which have dumped tons of taxpayer money on Iowa for growing corn. Iowa’s Senator Charles Grassley has come right out and said that is why he opposes Senator Cruz.

Former Senator Bob Dole, an establishment Republican if ever there was one, has joined the attacks on Ted Cruz, on grounds that Senator Cruz is disliked by other politicians.

When Senator Dole was active, he was liked by both Democrats and Republicans. He joined the long list of likable Republican candidates for president that the Republican establishment chose – and that the voters roundly rejected.

With both establishment Republicans and anti-establishment Republicans now taking sides with Donald Trump, it is hard to see what principle – if any – is behind his support.

Some may see Trump’s success in business as a sign that he can manage

the economy. But the great economist David Ricardo, two centuries ago, pointed out that business success did not mean that someone understands economic issues facing a nation.

Trump boasts that he can make deals, among his many other boasts. But is a deal-maker what this country needs at this crucial time? Is not one of the biggest criticisms of today’s Congressional Republicans that they have made all too many deals with Democrats, betraying the principles on which they ran for office?

Bipartisan deals – so beloved by media pundits – have produced some of the great disasters in American history.

Contrary to the widespread view that the Great Depression of the 1930s was caused by the stock market crash of 1929, unemployment never reached double digits in any of the 12 months that followed the stock market crash in October, 1929.

Unemployment was 6.3 percent in June 1930 when a Democratic Congress and a Republican president made a bipartisan deal that produced the Smoot-Hawley tariffs. Within 6 months, unemployment hit double digits – and stayed in double digits throughout the entire decade of the 1930s.

was never a more politically successful deal than that which Neville Chamberlain made in Munich in 1938.

He was hailed as a hero, not only by his own party but even by opposition parties, when he returned with a deal that Chamberlain said meant “peace for our time.”

But, just one year later, the biggest, bloodiest and most ghastly war in history began.

If deal-making is your standard, didn’t Barack Obama just make a deal with Iran – one that may have bigger and worse consequences than Chamberlain’s deal?

What kind of deals would Donald Trump make? He has already praised the Supreme Court’s decision in “Kelo v. City of New London” which said that the government can seize private property to turn it over to another private party.

That kind of decision is good for an operator like Donald Trump. Doubtless other decisions that he would make as president would also be good for Donald Trump, even if for nobody else.

The annual supper will give those who attend a chance to try some unique tastes on Tuesday at the Crossroads Arena.

“Things are looking good and we are hoping for a big crowd,” said Patrick Poindexter with the Mississippi State Extension Service.

The extension service along with the Alcorn County Soil and Water Conservation District, Mississippi Forestry Commission, Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service combine to coordinate the event.

“People are going to get the chance to try some things they have never tried before,” said Poindexter.

Doors open at 4:45 p.m. with the door fee being one wildlife dish per person. If no dish is brought, cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 5-12.

Kids under five will be admitted free.

Kathy Wilbanks served tasty homemade items at last year’s Alcorn County Wildlife Tasting Supper. The 38th annual supper is set for Tuesday at the Crossroads Arena.

“We encourage people to bring dishes, but if they don’t, it’s still a cheap price for what

they get to sample,” added Poindexter.

Registration for the dish con-

test starts at 5 p.m. The supper is set for a 6 p.m. start. The competition divisions will con-

sist of Water Critter, Feathered, Antlered, Land Critter, Hunting Club, Chili-Stew and Desserts.

“People will not have to eat just the wild stuff,” said Poindexter. “There will be other options.”

Rollin’ Rumps BBQ Catering & Vending will be cooking barbecue and hot dogs for those hesitant to live on the wild side when it comes to eating.

No store-bought dish can be entered in the contest.

Transportation for those who need assistance in delivering dishes from the parking lot to the arena will be provided. 4-H Congressional Delegates will be assisting by taking dishes down to the arena floor.

Several items will be raffled during the night. Two bicycles — one for a girl and one for a boy — will be raffled along with an adult and youth gun. Alcorn County 4-H is slated to raffle a barbecue smoker.

“I look forward to seeing a lot of folks I haven’t seen in a while and trying dishes I haven’t before,” said Poindexter.

their employees on possible weather conditions, tuning in to the National Weather Service for the latest forecasts and ensuring everyone was dressed properly in warm clothing.

“We pulled out the fire trucks and made sure they were fueled and ready in case they were needed and did the same with our secondary vehicles,” said Gibens. “Generators were also checked and chainsaws sharpened.”

“Fortunately, the bad weather they were predicting skipped over us. We live in this little valley here in North Mississippi and sometimes it gets us, sometimes it doesn’t,” he added.

“Most of it went North of us to places like Nashville which was hit hard. I believe they received 12 to 16 inches of snow. Memphis also got a few inches as did the area between Starkville and West Point. It was cold and there were a few slick spots here and there, but overall we faired well. To my knowledge, there were no power outages or stranded motorists reported.”

Keeping an eye out for changing and developing

weather conditions, the Corinth Street Department was on hand making the roadways safer for motorists.

“We did some pre-treating on bridges, overpasses and other concrete areas, but got lucky and didn’t have to do a whole lot. We later went back and treated areas again after it started snowing,” said Corinth Street Commissioner Philip Verdung. “We recently upgraded our treatment equipment and now have a new salt spreader which can treat a larger area at a time.

We also built a new brine system.”

The upgraded equipment and expanded brine system will allow crews to have more salt, brine and sand at their disposal in the event it is needed.

With no snow or precipitation in today’s forecast, Crossroads residents are in for sunny skies.

“It is going to be a sunny day with a high of about 43 degrees and a low of around 32 degrees tonight with partly cloudy skies,” said Intern William Churchill with The National Weather Service. “Calm winds will blow from the south at around 5 mph.”

Mule delivers a drenching of his own

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Of the mule, novelist William Faulkner once said, “He labors six days without reward for one creature, whom he hates, bound with chains to another, whom he despises, and spends the seventh day kicking or being kicked by his fellows.”

My lifelong best friend and mentor Jaybird could attest to the great writer’s observations.

The old black man spent many days bound with chains to mules that despised him. Back then, when mules fell ill, the treatment was “drenching,” a highly effective cure for mule maladies, quite often because it killed them.

The medicine administered in drenching was sweet spirits of niter — a fiery concoction consisting of potassium nitrate and anhydrous alcohol.

To get the medication into a mule, veterinarians first rendered him tractable with a cruel devise known as a nose twister.

With the dose in a long-necked bottle, the animal doctor and his assistant climbed into the barn’s loft and pulled the patient’s head upward with the twister.

While the assistant held the mule’s tongue to one side, the veterinarian shoved the bottle down his throat, dispensing as

many glug-glugs as possible before the enraged animal went ballistic.

Veterinarians categorized postdosed mules as one-lappers, twolappers, and three-lappers. The weakest galloped once around the barn, bucking and braying, before dying; average mules, twice; survivors, thrice.

One of Jaybird’s worst experiences involved a mule named Tantalus. How he got that name is uncertain, but it is appropriate.

In Greek mythology, Tantalus was punished for offending the gods. Condemned to eternal damnation in Hades, cool water and juicy grapes — both just barely out of reach — tormented him.

Because Tantalus the mule was condemned on Hades-hot days to plowing one side of rows with unreachable ends and having to turn and plow the other side, the name was an ideal moniker.

Tantalus loathed two-legged creatures as much as he did his four-legged counterparts, but tolerated Jaybird. Mule and man worked well together, until colic afflicted Tantalus.

The veterinarian arrived with the sweet spirits of niter, and asked Jaybird to assist him. Not wanting to inflict pain upon his mule friend with a nose twister, Jaybird used a halter.

“A person can still call our tollfree number at 800-621-3362 or register online at disasterassistance.gov. Another option is to visit the center,” added Wade.

“Once they register, based on what they tell us and their household makeup, then they might qualify for assistance.”

Wade, who began working for FEMA following Hurricane Ka-

In the loft beside the veterinarian, he gently pulled on the halter rope, coaxing Tantalus into the drenching position while pulling his tongue sideways. The process was going well until the vet shoved the bottle down his throat and the evil elixir entered his innards. Instantly, the giant beast bolted from the stall.

Jerked out of the loft, Jaybird landed astraddle the mule, and off the two flew. Just as he was preparing to eject himself from Tantalus, the galloping patient vomited into the slipstream, and a disgusting dollop of the regurgitated remedy spattered squarely in Jaybird’s mouth, thereby administering him a drenching.

While alternately gagging and dousing his head in the water trough, he heard the doctor say, “Tantalus is cured, Jaybird, but the prognosis for you isn’t certain. If you were a mule, I’d say you’re just a one-lapper.”

Columbus mayor won’t veto new police chief CONTINUED FROM 1A

COLUMBUS — Columbus Mayor Robert Smith told WTVA he won’t veto the city council’s decision to hire Oscar Lewis as the city’s new police chief.

The council’s 3-2 vote Tuesday night to hire Lewis has caused controversy in some parts of the community.

Council members Joseph Mickens,

Gene Taylor and Marty Turner have been criticized for not hiring interim chief Fred Shelton, a 32-year veteran of the department who has been praised for the job he’s done since being named interim in November.

No firm start date has been listed for Lewis to come in as chief.

dergarten through sixth grade students.

“With this community meeting, we should be able to prove to those board members who are elected by us that we want them to represent us and vote to not close these schools,” she said.

Those in attendance signed a petition to keep Glendale and Rienzi open.

“I have learned when a school district has a certain amount of debt and it increases over a certain amount of time, then the state can take over the school district,” said Fiveash. “I believe that is what Mr. Mitchell is trying to prevent. He is trying to keep a state take over from happening, but I still don’t think closing Glen or Rienzi is the answer.”

Fiveash added, “if we appeal to the board, they will listen to us.”

Among the crowded Glen Town Hall was Glendale parent Jody Emerson, who offered his opinion on why the school shouldn’t close.

“It is simply the best education in Alcorn County,” he said. “It has been proved time and time again that Glendale students are some of highest performing students in the state, and now the superintendent wants to close his best school?”

Second District Supervisor James Voyles shed some light on why the district owes so much money.

“That debt was generated from a bond issue about 20 years ago when the district performed gym renovations at Alcorn Central, Kossuth and Biggersville,” said the former school board member.

Many of those in attendance were Glendale graduates themselves who are now watching their grandchildren attend the school rooted in history.

Dimple McEwen was one grandparent who questioned why another district school isn’t being mentioned for possible closure.

“Why aren’t they talking about Biggersville closing?” she said. “They only graduated around 22 kids last year — that’s a tiny senior class. How much money is it costing to keep that school open?”

Several local and state

officials also attended the community meeting including Rienzi Mayor Walter Williams, former interim 2nd District Supervisor Ralph Cohn, Rep. Nick Bain, Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter, Rep. Tracy Arnold and Sen. Rita Potts Parks.

Fiveash said she invited Mitchell to the community meeting, however he was unable to attend on short notice.

Fiveash is planning a second community meeting in hopes that Mitchell can attend.

The group was unsuccessful in contacting interim Second District school board member Laura Studdard, however several attempts were made.

“We need to appeal to Ms. Studdard,” she Fiveash. “She is the voice of the second district and our voice on the school board.”

The group also collected signatures on a petition asking the school board to consider changing the normal monthly board meeting time.

Currently set for 5 p.m. on the second Monday of each month, many Glen residents say they are still at work at that time.

“Few working parents can attend a 5 p.m. meeting,” said Fiveash.

The petition seeks to revise the meeting time to 6 p.m.

and the cheerleaders,” said Steen. “They work just as hard as the players, and they bring a different experience to the game. That’s what this exhibit is about.”

Photos, championship trophies and many sports-related items can be considered for the exhibit. The museum will also look to do some interviews with former players for inclusion. Items such as photos can be on loan to the museum during the exhibit or the museum can scan the photos, leaving the originals in the owner’s hands.

It is a rare occasion for the museum to host a Smithsonian traveling exhibit — Steen is not aware of it ever happening be-

fore. The museum is one of six in Mississippi that will have a turn hosting “Hometown Teams.”

While it is coming late in the year, the museum wants to begin getting commitments for the local portion of the exhibit now.

The museum will also seek some volunteer docents to help monitor the exhibit. Students will be eligible and can earn community service hours.

The exhibit will launch with an opening reception on Nov. 19, the same day the museum grounds host the Red Green Market.

To offer items for the local portion of the exhibit, contact Steen at 2873120.

To add to the Smithsonian exhibit, the museum is seeking local items for an accompanying exhibit. Local items will be displayed at the museum while the Smithsonian items will be displayed at the library auditorium.

“It’s going to be an amazing exhibit,” said Museum Director Brandy Steen. “The exhibit will focus on how sports shape a community. As we get ready for this exhibit, we need to ask ourselves how do sports around here affect us.”

State/Nation

Across the Nation Associated Press

Blizzard barreling toward East Coast SILVER SPRING, Md. — A blizzard with hurricane-force winds brought much of the East Coast to a standstill Saturday, dumping as much as 3 feet of snow, stranding tens of thousands of travelers and shutting down the nation’s capital and its largest city.

After days of weather warnings, most of the 80 million people in the storm’s path heeded requests to stay home and off the roads, which were largely deserted. But more was yet to come, with dangerous conditions expected to persist until early Sunday.

In addition to snow and treacherous winds, the National Weather Service predicted up to half an inch of ice for the Carolinas and potentially serious coastal flooding for the midAtlantic region.

“This is going to be one of those generational events, where your parents talk about how bad it was,” Ryan Maue, a meteorologist for WeatherBell Analytics, said from Tallahassee, Florida, which also got some flakes.

Snow fell from the Gulf Coast to New England. In nearly two dozen places, it passed the 20-inch mark by late morning, according to the weather service.

Terra Alta, West Virginia, reported 28 inches.

At least 10 deaths were blamed on the weather, most from traffic accidents.

Michigan questions demands on water DETROIT — Michigan’s top environmental officer was by turns cooperative and confrontational with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a letter pledging to work with the federal government to ensure the safety of Flint’s drinking water but challenging the legality and scope of some federal demands.

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Director Keith Creagh wrote Friday in a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy that the state “is committed to working” with her department and Flint to deal with the city’s lead-contamination problem. But he said the state has “legal and factual concerns” with an EPA order a day earlier taking state and city officials to task for their efforts so far and requiring them to take specific actions.

3 inmates escape from California jail LOS ANGELES — Southern California authorities launched a frantic manhunt Saturday after three inmates charged with violent crimes, including torture and murder, escaped an Orange County jail.

The inmates were last seen at 5 a.m. Friday at the Orange County Central Men’s Jail in Santa Ana, about 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles. They could have escaped anytime between then and late Friday night, Lt. Jeff Hallock, a spokesman with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, said Saturday.

Hallock said investigators believe they know how the three men escaped the 900-inmate jail, but for now, he wouldn’t release those details. He said it’s the first escape from the facility in at least the past 20 years and could be the first-ever breakout from the jail.

The inmates include 20-year-old Jonathan Tieu, who had been held on a $1 million bond since October 2013 on charges of murder, attempted murder and shooting at an inhabited dwelling. His case is believed to be gang-related.

Hossein Nayeri, 37, had been held without bond since September 2014 on charges of kidnapping, torture, aggravated mayhem and burglary. Nayeri and three other men are accused of kidnapping a California marijuana dispensary owner in 2012.

The third escaped inmate, 43-year-old Bac Duong, was being held without bond since last month on charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm and other charges.

Ex-lawmakers stole funds to pay lawyers ALBANY, N.Y. — Campaign finance reports show the two ex-leaders of New York’s Legislature kept draining hefty campaign funds throughout last year in failed attempts to beat federal corruption charges.

Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver spent $1.4 million for criminal defense lawyers in just the last six months, on top of $1.5 million previously.

Former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos spent nearly $760,000.

Several lawmakers and reform advocates say that’s an inappropriate use of voter donations and are backing legislation to ban the practice.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is advocating various other ethics reforms but isn’t calling for that one.

His campaign spent $400,000 for lawyers representing him in the federal investigation of his early shutdown of the Moreland anti-corruption commission.

Prosecutors this month said they found insufficient evidence Cuomo committed a federal crime.

building looks like a modern art painting come to life, all angles and edges. But the new Department of Sanitation shed on Manhattan’s west side has a pretty basic function — storing thousands of pounds of the rock salt used to deal with snowy streets.

The shed and the new five-story sanitation truck garage built across the street are getting their first winter tests this weekend.

The project was heavily protested in its planning stages. That was then, though. In the last few months, as the buildings have come into use, the general consensus is, essentially, how cool.

Skull at spiritual shop brings probe COMPTON, Calif. — Authorities have found one human skull and eight containers with potentially more at a Los Angeles-area shop that sells spiritual items.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s Capt. Steve Katz says deputies responded to the Compton business Friday after a woman complained of animal cruelty.

When investigators arrived, Katz says they found a skull inside a pot. He says the coroner’s office collected the skull and eight other pots that may also contain skulls.

Katz says there’s no evidence of a homicide and that it appears the skull may have been purchased from a legal source and was being used for a religious ceremony. He says it’s unclear whether animal remains were found.

The sign outside the store reads “Omi Relekun” and describes itself in Spanish as a spiritual store and school.

Club sues to stop Malibu mansions LOS ANGELES — The Sierra Club is suing the California Coastal Commission in an effort to halt approval of U2 guitarist The Edge’s plans to build five mansions on a Malibu ridge.

The Los Angeles Times reports the action filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court says the commission didn’t properly evaluate the project before granting approval last month.

Among other things, the Sierra Club maintains the commission didn’t consider the impact that putting homes in Malibu’s pristine Sweetwater Mesa area would have on air quality and greenhouse gas emissions.

Edge has been attempting to get the project approved since 2011. The plans the commission OK’d last month were a scaleddown version of his original proposal.

Sentencing stalled in prison bribe case JACKSON — A judge has again delayed sentencing for a former Mississippi corrections commissioner and two men who have admitted to bribing him.

U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate on Friday put off sentencing hearings that had been set for Monday and Tuesday. Court records show Wingate plans a Tuesday conference to discuss the status of the cases against former Commissioner Christopher Epps, Brandon businessman Cecil McCrory and Carthage prison phone consultant Sam Waggoner.

Epps pleaded guilty in February to two felony bribery counts, while McCrory pleaded guilty to one count. Prosecutors say the two were at the center of a bribery scheme that eventually resulted in Epps collecting $1.5 million in bribes from McCrory and others. Epps used the money to buy a house in an upscale subdivision, buy a beachfront condo and later trade up to a nicer one, and buy two luxury vehicles.

Epps faces up to 23 years in prison and fines of $750,000. He has agreed to forfeit $2 million in assets. His wife, Catherlean S. Epps, says some of the assets Epps agreed to give up belong to her.

McCrory faces up to 20 years and fines of $500,000. He has agreed to forfeit $1.7 million in assets.

Those two men had originally been scheduled for sentencing in June.

Waggoner pleaded guilty in August to one bribery count after waiving indictment in an agreement with prosecutors. He told Wingate he paid more than $108,000 in kickbacks to Epps from a consulting contract with prison phone company Global Tel-Link. Waggoner faces up to 10 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines, and has also agreed to forfeit $200,000.

On Jan. 15 Waggoner’s lawyer sought a delay, saying Waggoner was hospitalized at St. Dominic’s Hospital in Jackson and was experiencing complications following another heart surgery.

Waggoner also underwent heart surgery on Oct. 8. Waggoner was originally set to be sentenced Nov. 5.

Ex-preacher guilty of molesting child WIGGINS — Prosecutors say a former Stone County preacher has been found guilty in the sexual battery of a girl at the church he previously led.

Carlos Smith, 55, of Saucier, was pastor of Unity Baptist Church and the girl was 11 when the sexual abuse began in 2011 and continued for three years, District Attorney Joel Smith told The Sun Herald.

ANNIVERSARY MONTH SPECIALS!

A Stone County jury delivered a guilty verdict Friday after deliberating about two hours.

Circuit Judge Roger Clark set Carlos Smith’s sentencing for Feb. 15.

He faces 20 years to life in prison and because of the nature of the crime his prison term must be served with no consideration for early release.

Prosecutors said the girl first told a therapist about the sexual abuse.

Lamar County seeks school board member HATTIESBURG — The Lamar County School Board is looking for someone to join its ranks.

A vacancy on the board occurred after District B member Steve Lampton’s election to the Lamar County Board of Supervisors. Lampton’s district covers parts of Purvis and Oak Grove.

“We want someone who is committed to the children of the district and who is willing to understand that we put in a lot of time and a lot of work and we don’t get paid much,” District D member Mike Pruitt told The Hattiesburg American.

The job pays $184.70 per month.

Superintendent Tess Smith said board members Kyle Hill and Buddy Morris will look over resumes and set up interviews.

“They will make a recommendation to the full board for an appointment,” she said. “The person they recommend will (also) run in November. Others could qualify and run then as well.”

Smith said anyone who applies should know Lamar’s school board members devote a lot of time to the job.

“Our board is very involved,” she said. “They attend sporting events and other activities.

They’re all financially conscious, and they oversee policy for the district.”

Monroe supervisors, officials get raises ABERDEEN — Monroe County supervisors have approved a raise for some elected officials, including themselves.

WCBI-TV reports now that the county’s total assessed value is more than $300 million, state law allows for some elected officials to get a raise.

Supervisors, justice court judges, the county prosecuting attorney, and the board of supervisors’ attorney will now make $44,700. They were making just a little over $40,400.

Salaries of elected officials vary based on the total assessed value of that particular county.

$1 million bond set for accused pastor WAYNESBORO — Bond has been set for a Wayne County pastor accused of sexual misconduct.

WDAM-TV reported that Christopher Beam made his initial appearance in court on Thursday, and his bond was set at $100,000 per count which totaled $1 million.

Beam remains jailed on five counts of lustful touching of a child and five counts of enticing a child under 18 years of age with an electronic device for sexual purposes. It was unknown if he has an attorney who could comment on the case.

Beam was the pastor of the Evergreen Baptist Church in Shubuta.

Wayne County Schools Superintendent Bobby Jones says Beam was also a substitute teacher and school bus driver.

Bryant sets Senate election for March 8 JACKSON — A special election to fill a state Senate seat in parts of Madison and Hinds County is set for March 8.

Gov. Phil Bryant set the nonpartisan election Friday. A runoff, if needed would be on March 29.

The District 25 seat became vacant earlier this week when Bryant appointed former senator Will Longwitz to a county court judgeship in Madison County.

Though candidates will run without party labels, two Republicans jumped into the race Tuesday to succeed Longwitz. Walter Michel of Ridgeland, who works for his family’s commercial real estate leasing and management business, served three terms in the state Senate before stepping down in 2011. Madison businessman Bill Billingsley lost the 2015 Republican primary for the Senate seat to Longwitz.

Contractor change means layoffs ahead BAY ST. LOUIS — A Stennis Space Center official has confirmed a contractor change will lead to layoffs at the NASA facility in Mississippi’s Hancock County.

WLOX-TV reported that a new company will take over the operations and maintenance contract now held by Jacobs Technology on Feb. 1.

While Stennis confirms layoffs are coming, it’s unclear how many jobs will be affected.

Longtime contract workers told WLOX that more than 200 people are unsure if they will have jobs after January.

Workers say they’re being told they must apply to be hired by the new contractor, S3, Syncom Space Services.

Stennis spokeswoman Valerie Buckingham says the new contract is a consolidation between two NASA facilities, Stennis and the Michoud Assembly Facility in eastern New Orleans. The consolidation will reduce costs at both centers.

WASHINGTON — Sinking oil prices have cratered the stock market.

But a silver lining could appear eventually.

Cheaper gasoline and heating oil are giving consumers worldwide more money that they can use to step up spending later — and perhaps energize

pension liability, at more than $100 billion, and is in a tough spot because the courts have ruled that employees’ benefits can’t be cut. “We look at 30-year returns, and the market is always up and down.”

Keith Brainard, research director at the National Association of State Budget Administrators, noted that market drops can be a good opportunity to buy low on stocks that will rise in value before long. “These funds measure themselves in terms of their performance over decades rather than months, days and years,” he said.

But some people who track government finance say even short-term returns are important.

“They can say they’re long-term investors, but they have fixed payments that they must meet come hell or high water,” said Don Boyd, director of fiscal studies at the Rockefeller Institute of Government, part of the State University of New York.

“Illinois is very different than, say, a rich family creating a trust fund for a wayward son.” While the family could reduce the son’s payout when returns are low, there’s little

wiggle room for states to shrink payments to growing numbers of retirees, he said.

Boyd issued a report this week that found that from July through September of 2015, stock market losses led to a $268 billion increase in pension fund debt across the country, bringing the total to $1.7 trillion. He said he believes a strong end of the year on the stock market canceled out those losses, but the past few weeks erased the gains and then some.

Until the 1970s, pension funds were made up almost entirely of relatively safe investments such as bonds. Since then, it’s become tougher to make big returns with bonds, so investment managers have turned to stocks, hedge funds, real estate and other holdings with the potential for larger gains but big losses, too.

The slide on Wall Street could damage public employee pension funds around the country, most of which haven’t even recovered from the Great Recession, and the burden could end up falling on taxpayers.

Stocks have been tumbling in the first weeks of 2016, with the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 down nearly 9 percent since the start of the year.

If there’s a quick rebound, the slump won’t make much difference.

If the tumble continues, it could be bad news for pensions.

Somewhere down the line, states may have to either cut benefits — which can be legally or politically difficult — or pump more tax dollars into their pension funds to make sure retirees get what they were promised.

Pension funds for government employees in many places are already struggling to bring in enough money to cover future payouts. Data compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that only four states — Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Wisconsin —

had amassed funding for a bigger portion of their pension liabilities in 2013 than in 2007, a year before stocks fell dramatically.

The average state-run plan went from being 86 percent funded before the Great Recession to 72 percent in 2013, the last year for which data was available. Despite strong returns on Wall Street from 2009 through mid-2015, most states saw funding declines for a variety of reasons, including higher payouts because of longer lifespans and generous benefits that were promised during flush times.

States such as California, Illinois, Kentucky and New Jersey didn’t come close to making the taxpayer contributions they are required to make to their pension funds.

Pension fund officials in states as varied as California and West Virginia said they are not worried about short-term market fluctuations because they are diversified, long-term investors.

“For the most part, we are in it for the long haul,” said Christine Radogno, the Republican state Senate leader in Illinois, which faces the nation’s largest unfunded

economies in the United States, Europe and much of Asia.

The question is, will they — and when?

“It’s definitely a plus for consumers,” Sara Johnson, an economist at forecasting firm IHS Global Insight, said of the deep savings being accumulated from sharply lower energy prices. “We should see a pickup in spending in the first quarter.”

The price of oil reached a 12-year low of $28.15 a barrel by the end of trading Wednesday before poking above $29 on Thursday. As recently as June, the price was about $60.

Retail gasoline prices have sunk to a national average of $1.86 a gallon, the lowest since 2009, according to AAA. The timing and size of the economic benefit that

“It’s definitely a plus for consumers. We should see a pickup in spending in the first quarter.”

Sara Johnson Economist at forecasting firm IHS Global Insight many analysts expect to result from cheaper oil and gas isn’t clear. Oil prices began falling in mid-2014 but have so far failed to deliver the kind of boost to U.S. growth that economists had expected. One factor is that widespread layoffs and spending cuts by oil drillers have offset some of the boost from steady consumer spending.

And many Americans have saved, rather than spent, the money left over after filling up. That has depressed growth because consumer spending drives about 70 percent of the U.S. economy.

At some point, though, continued savings from cheaper energy could fuel more robust investment and spending.

“It’s a question of, do they spend it now, or do they spend it later?” said Scott Hoyt, senior director of consumer economics at Moody’s Analytics.

Since the start of the year, global stock prices have plummeted. Many stock investors fear that cheaper oil reflects a worldwide economic slump that has sapped demand, particularly in emerging markets like China and Brazil.

But most economists say that a huge increase in the supply of oil, rather than a falloff in demand, is the main culprit for tumbling energy prices.

That makes it more likely, they say, that developed economies will benefit from energy savings and remain healthy.

Another factor is the long-term nature of the price decline. Oil and gas prices have fallen for about 18 months. Eventually, Johnson said, the persistence of the price declines will likely assure consumers that cheaper gas is here to stay and encourage more spending.

Michael Gapen, an economist at Barclay’s,

forecasts that consumer spending will grow at a 3 percent annual rate in the first half of this year, lifting growth back to a decent 2 percent to 2.5 percent range. In the final three months of 2015, most analysts think U.S. growth slowed to an annual rate below 1 percent.

Lower oil prices should also bolster Europe’s fragile recovery, according to economists at Citi. And many Asian countries are also optimistic about the long-term impact “The country has really benefited from the lower oil price,” Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “People have a sort of sigh of relief.”

“At the same time, the government also started losing money — revenue that had come from the import of oil,” he added.

“The drop in oil prices is good news for Korean consumers,” said Choi Kyung-Hwan, South Korea’s former deputy prime minister.

Yet Choi, too, noted, in remarks at Davos, that falling oil prices reflect sluggish growth in emerging markets, which could hurt South Korea’s exports.

“A fall in oil prices is not just a blessing,” he said.

The outlook is also complicated in the United States. Energy drilling companies, which scaled back their operations in 2015, will likely have to cut back further this year.

Last year, the U.S. mining sector, which includes oil and gas, shed 130,000 jobs even as overall hiring grew at a healthy clip.

Houston-based Southwestern Energy said Thursday that it would slash 1,100 jobs from a staff of about 2,780. And Regions Bank, based in Birmingham, Alabama, said it would cut 260 jobs in the first three months of this year.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for the Daily Corinthian’s “Bride-To-Be” special bridal edition coming out on Sunday, Jan. 31.

If you’re planning a wedding this year, let this be your guide!

Irate husband makes a scene when wife breastfeeds baby DEAR ABBY: I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl three months ago. I had breastfed my 15-year-old, so it was natural for me to do the same with my new daughter.

The problem is my husband, “Jerry,” does not support me breastfeeding in public.

I’m somewhat largechested, so I always cover up for fear of offending strangers.

The last Abigail we went Van Buren time shopping and the baby Dear Abby got hungry, when I attempted to feed her in a dressing room, Jerry got so upset he stormed out of the store and took the baby bag and stroller with him.

I had a receiving blanket tucked into my tank top and had covered my breast so no one would see anything.

I asked him what the problem was, and he said just because I thought it was OK didn’t mean some kid trying on clothes would think so.

He told me I should breastfeed in the car or a bathroom.

(Jerry doesn’t eat in restrooms, so why should our baby girl?)

I don’t plan to stop breastfeeding or going for outings with my baby girl, so how do I approach the situation without a fight? -- TRYING TO MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND DEAR TRYING: How about this: Go without Jerry.

Your husband is behind the times.

Breastfeeding is nothing to be ashamed of, and is promoted by pediatricians as one of the best ways of keeping a baby healthy.

There is nothing shameful about this normal function, and you shouldn’t be banished to a car in a parking lot or a public bathroom in order to carry it out.

The dressing room should have offered sufficient privacy.

Jerry should stop worrying about other kids and concentrate on his own.

If a parent had felt her child needed to be protected from the sight of a mother nursing her baby, she would have been perfectly free to shield the child’s eyes and usher him or her from the dressing room.

If you are unable to get through to Jerry, or your husband cannot grasp this concept, your child’s doctor should explain it to him in simple English.

DEAR ABBY: How does one “break up” with a hairdresser?

I’m not unhappy with “Flossie,”

my current one, but I’d like to try someone else for a change of pace.

I know people of both sexes who have stayed with a hairstylist they are unhappy with because they can’t bring themselves to break up, so I know I’m not alone with this dilemma.

I’d love to hear from hairdressers how they would prefer this be handled.

Do they take it personally?

-- TRENDSETTER IN CALIFORNIA DEAR TRENDSETTER: Some do take it personally, I’m sure. If you have a personal as well as a business relationship with Flossie, she may feel hurt that you’re leaving.

However, it is not a sin to want to try someone else. It happens all the time in that business.

My advice is to call Flossie in advance and let her know you won’t be coming so she can schedule someone else in that time slot.

Then try the other stylist.

That way, if you don’t like that stylist’s work, you can return to Flossie with no hard feelings.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Hard work is a virtue. But what if you are only working hard because you can’t figure out how to work smart? Go on and ask that lazy, brilliant person you know. It’s about time you followed the path of least resistance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The quirks make you smile.

The thing that makes something beautiful is the same thing that makes it imperfect. You’ll teach those younger than you with your all-embracing attitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Are you starting to realize that the way you’ve been telling your story doesn’t really paint it in the most accurate or flattering way?

Tweak it. Do a rewrite on your history.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are free to do as you please. How does that feel?

Likely, you’re figuring out that you don’t exercise your liberties nearly enough. Take a risk.

Turn some heads; raise twice as

many eyebrows.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are some people who make you feel older than you are -- and not in a good way. Steer clear of the ones who complain too much about the “new” way things work these days.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll probably have to put something out of your mind in order to stay on task. Your ability to compartmentalize will be your biggest key to success.

You could really get paid better for this, by the way!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s interesting how you get through some things by facing them head-on and you get through other things by ignoring them soundly. You’ve an excellent instinct about which way to go with today’s situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Affirm that you’re fine with the ebb and flow of relationships and everything gets easier. Be mindful of this dynamic: “Friends may come and go, but enemies

accumulate.” Thomas Jones.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Rub elbows with the one who makes you happy. This will help you maintain a healthy perspective. The morning snafu is meant to get your attention, not ruin your day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Like all goats, you claim what’s yours, and you’ll butt anyone off who challenges your level. You don’t like to be knocked off your rock, and today you’ll dig in to make sure that it doesn’t happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The urge to annoy others is stronger than you care to admit.

This is not your fault. It may, in fact, be your calling at the moment. They need you to shake things up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There will be mischief and madness thrown into your mix. Not all the antics will amuse you, at least not at first. Still, eventually, the only thing left to do will be to laugh.

Night of Champions set at MCHS

BY JEFF YORK For Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — McNairy Central will host a pair of “Night of Champions” to honor their past basketball state tournament teams.

The ceremony for the Bobcats will be held Friday when Bolivar comes to the Roundhouse.

The girls’ ceremony will be held Friday, Feb. 5 when Fayette-Ware visits MCHS.

It was originally set for Jan. 22, but was postponed due to weather.

MCHS has sent nine girls teams to the state tournaments — in 1971, ’72, ’73, ’74, ’76, ’77, ’87, ’92 and ’93.

The boys have sent three teams to the state tournament in 1983, ’91 and ’96.

“I look forward to seeing some of our former players come back to a game,” said Coach Jerry Lott. “We want to

remind everyone that we have a great history of basketball at McNairy Central.”

Lott wants everyone to spread the word about the night’s plans. He hopes the fans will make sure players on those state tournament teams know about the ceremonies.

“I want us to embrace the tradition of our school’s past and this is a way to do it,” said Bobcats’ Coach Brian

Brown. “Our players need to know that we can make the state tournament. They need to know that it can happen at McNairy Central.”

Brown asks fans and former players to contact players who played on those teams.

While he knows some will be unable to attend because they live too far away, he hopes several of former Bobcats will be back to be honored those nights.

Harrelson ready for inaugural season at NE

BY BLAKE D. LONG NEMCC Sports Information

BOONEVILLE — Richy Harrelson has pieced together a challenging slate of matchups for the Northeast Mississippi Community College baseball program during his inaugural season as its head coach.

The Tigers face seven opponents that were either ranked or receiving votes in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) polls at some point last year as part of an outstanding 2016 schedule.

“We’re ready to get out there and play a little catch and hit a little bit,” said Harrelson. “Our guys have worked very, very hard for us over the last semester.

They’re just a great group so we’re looking forward to it.”

Northeast opens the campaign at home for the first time in three years when Columbia State (Tenn.) Com-

munity College comes to town on Saturday, February 6. The Tigers make the return trip one week later for their initial road matchups.

The friendly confines of Harold T. White Field is the location for four of Northeast’s next five doubleheaders starting on Wednesday, February 17 versus Jackson State (Tenn.) Community College.

Fans can also watch the Tigers compete against Calhoun (Ala.) Community College, Lake Land (Ill.) College and Southwest Tennessee Community College during that stretch of games in the City of Hospitality.

Northeast concludes its non-conference action in early March with back-toback dates in the neighboring Yellowhammer State at Calhoun and Wallace State (Ala.) Community College at Hanceville.

All but one of the Tigers’ out-of-state opponents won 20-plus contests during the previous campaign. Two of those ball clubs claimed over 30 victories one season ago.

“We’re playing some really good teams to get us ready for division play,” Harrelson said. “Our league has gotten so much better over the last five years and so we want to be prepared.”

Northeast opens the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) portion of its agenda when Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College travels to Booneville on Saturday, March 12.

The Tigers clash with each MACJC member for the second consecutive campaign.

The defending state champion Hinds Community College and runner-up Northwest Mississippi Community College visit Northeast on Satur-

day, March 19 and Tuesday, April 19, respectively.

Archrival Itawamba Community College and the Tigers meet just once this year.

The two adversaries confront each other on Tuesday, March 22 at Roy Cresap Field in Fulton.

Northeast will celebrate its sophomores on Saturday, April 30 in the home finale versus Southwest Mississippi Community College. The Tigers host six of the last eight regular season games inside their own stadium.

A best-of-three series kicks off the playoffs over a twoday span from May 6-7. The MACJC State Tournament will take place the following week at the lowest remaining seeded squad.

The Tigers have qualified for the postseason nine times since 2000 and also captured the MACJC North Division title in 2013.

MSU thriving under Schaefer

BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Vic Schaefer says he could have taken several head coaching jobs while he was an assistant coach for 15 years at Arkansas and then Texas A&M. His former boss — Texas A&M coach Gary Blair — has an off-beat theory about why Schaefer finally took the Mississippi State job in 2012.

“It’s because he’s so cheap,” Blair said. “Both schools wear maroon and he didn’t want to change his wardrobe.”

Jokes aside, Schaefer agrees there are similarities between the schools beyond the colors. Much like Texas A&M before Blair and Schaefer arrived in 2003, Mississippi State had never been a consistent threat in the Southeastern Conference.

Schaefer saw a school that could rise in a hurry.

Four years later, it appears he was right.

No. 10 Mississippi State (17-3, 4-2) is about to embark on one of the biggest weeks in program history. The Bulldogs host No. 2 South Carolina on Sunday and No. 18 Tennessee on Thursday. A few wins could solidify the program as one of the favorites to win the league.

The rapid rise has caught even Schaefer by surprise. It wasn’t until the preseason that he realized his team might be ready to make the jump from very good to elite.

“Once we got these kids on campus and realized the skill set we had, we knew we had a pretty good basketball team,” Schaefer said. “There’s a lot of basketball left, but yes, it’s very rewarding to see us at this point.”

It’s not just the winning that has Schaefer excited. It’s the enthusiasm around the program.

More than 7,100 fans came to Humphrey Coliseum to watch the Bulldogs beat in-state rival Mississippi on Monday.

That was the secondlargest crowd in program history.

Now the school is making a social media push to draw 10,000 fans Sunday against South Carolina. Blair said Schaefer’s charisma — along with the winning — is perfect for kindling fan interest.

“Vic can talk with a fire hydrant,” Blair said. “And then he can squeeze a little money out of it and get it to join the booster club.”

Mississippi State athletics director Scott Stricklin said it’s the atmosphere he expected when he hired Schaefer.

“I wanted to make

women’s basketball something that’s really important — not just something you have to do,” Stricklin said.

“Something you can get behind and create a following. He’s been our pied piper.”

The 54-year-old Schaefer’s easygoing, down-home personality has been a perfect fit in Starkville. The Houston, Texas, native has slowly worked his way through the women’s college coaching ranks, starting with the head coaching job at Sam Houston State from 1990 to ‘97.

He had just one winning season during eight seasons with the Bearkats while dealing with a meager budget and resources. In 1997, Schaefer said he was making $35,000 per year and had $25,000 in debt when he decided to join Blair as an assistant at Arkansas.

It was a great choice.

He went to 11 NCAA Tournaments with Blair during his time at Arkansas and Texas A&M, capped by the Aggies’ national championship run in 2011.

Finally, Schaefer earned his chance to lead another program in 2012 when Mississippi State called.

“I really felt like Mississippi State was committed and wanted to win,” Schaefer said. “One big thing is I’ve been able to hire the right people and I have the resources. I’m smart enough to know I can’t do it by myself.”

The Bulldogs were 13-17 during Schaefer’s first season, but Schaefer quickly built his roster. He brought several good players to campus and then added one elite talent — Parade AllAmerican Victoria Vivians — that helped push Mississippi State into the top 10.

Vivians, a 6-foot-1 sophomore guard from Carthage, Mississippi, leads the team with nearly 18 points per game.

She said she always wanted to stay close to home even before Schaefer arrived at Mississippi State, but a few conversations with the coach during recruiting solidified her decision.

Now she’s playing in games with SEC title implications.

“It’s been everything I expected,” Vivians said.

“Coach Schaefer is always so positive with us and it rubs off on everyone.

“Mississippi State’s never really been known for women’s basketball — usually it’s all about football, men’s basketball or baseball — so this is something that’s been really fun.”

Broncos, Patriots stay in the hunt despite injuries Associated Press

DENVER — One team went without the services of its Hall of Fame-bound quarterback for more than a third of the season, and when he was available, he was a shell of his former self.

The other had its quarterback all season but faced week after week of injuries to his pass catchers, offensive linemen and running backs.

Often, teams with those story lines are studying the draft board this time of year. But these are the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots — two franchises built to overcome problems big and small. And once again, they find themselves on the verge of the Super Bowl.

Today’s AFC title game is being billed as “Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady, Part 17,” and many believe it could be the last game between the two best quarterbacks of their generation.

It’s also a matchup of two franchises that make a habit of playing in January because of the way they’re built and run.

New England is seeking its ninth AFC title; nobody has won more.

Denver is going for No. 8, which would put the Broncos in a tie with the Patriots and Steelers.

The secret to New England’s success?

“It’s Tom Brady and Bill

Belichick,” said Aqib Talib of the Broncos, who played cornerback for the Patriots two years ago when these teams last met for the AFC title.

Talib left as a free agent and signed with Denver after that season. Nobody was surprised.

Cornerbacks, even outstanding ones, are as disposable as dish towels in New England. Last year, the Patriots won with fourtime All-Pro Darrelle Revis, but he plays for the Jets now. It’s like that at pretty much every position — except one.

“They’re moving guys around.

They still have the same kind of guy,” said Broncos offensive coordinator Rick Dennison.

“Whether they develop them, go find them, or whatever. It seems like ‘50’ (defensive end Rob Ninkovich) has been around there for 15 years. Or a guy just like him.”

For the record, Ninkovich has been there since 2009, which makes him a long-timer by Patriots standards. They do not stick with players for loyalty’s sake, or because of what they did in the past. Among those who have left for other teams after helping the Patriots to the Super Bowl: Randy Moss, Ty Law, Wes Welker, Asante Samuel, Adam Vinatieri. It’s a longer list than that.

This season, the Patriots

have started the same five offensive linemen in consecutive games a grand total of once.

Elsewhere on the offense, top receiver Julian Edelman missed seven games. Danny Amendola and All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski both missed time.

Running back has been a carousel, most recently occupied by veteran Steven Jackson, who didn’t sign with New England until Dec. 22.

But so long as No. 12 is lining up under center, the Patriots rarely skip a beat.

“No quarterback has been able to throw the ball over 50 times a game and win, and he’s done that consistently,” said Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who has held six jobs for six different teams since 2000, the year Belichick was hired in New England.

Over the past three years, Brady is 9-3 when he throws 50 or more times.

“That shows you how great a passer he is, how many mistakes that he doesn’t make, where everybody else that’s had to throw the ball that much gets beat,” Phillips said.

The Broncos, meanwhile, were long regarded as one of the top franchises in the NFL until a lull that briefly turned them into a laughingstock in the late 2000s. The two main figures

through that drama were Tim Tebow and Josh McDaniels, who now works as Belichick’s offensive coordinator.

John Elway returned, this time in the front office, and quickly restored order.

The Broncos built a state-ofthe-art practice facility for more than $35 million and spent lavishly on free agents to get back into the mix for the Super Bowl, which was a common destination when Elway was playing.

The most important transaction, of course, was the signing of Manning. But it wasn’t until his undoing this year — a foot injury cost him six-plus games, and before that he led the league with 17 interceptions — that it became clear the strength of the foundation had been re-established.

Denver’s victories with Manning either absent or compromised have come courtesy of a newly designed running game and a top-ranked defense filled with playmakers. Von Miller reached 50 career sacks faster than anyone but Reggie White and Derrick Thomas. Chris Harris Jr., has gone from rookie free agent to second-team All-Pro. DeMarcus Ware led the team with 7 1-2 sacks this year and is a game away from the Super Bowl for the first time in his 11 seasons.

Elway hired coach Gary Kubiak with the idea that his exteammate would help him transition from the Manning era to whatever comes next. That a “transition” year has the Broncos a game from the Super Bowl speaks to the roster he built.

“There always is a transition period, because unfortunately, these great quarterbacks get older,” Elway said. “I think we’ve tried to work toward that.

We’ve tried, with Gary coming in this year, to be a little more focused on the running game and get a little more balanced to help Peyton out.”

So, instead of some story about a relative newbie making the Super Bowl, as we’ll hear when either Carolina or Arizona makes it in the NFC, this will be a story of franchises that have found a way to stay in the hunt for years, even decades.

It’s the Broncos, trying to coax Manning to a Super Bowl in what could be his last hurrah.

And it’s the Patriots, who expect to be on the doorstep as long as Brady is taking snaps.

“It’s so hard to be consistent in this league,” Patriots receiver Matthew Slater said. “I think that’s something that every franchise hopes to establish, is some consistency and stability, and we’ve been really fortunate to have that here.”

Plenty of reasons to be intrigued by today’s NFC game Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Hey, don’t forget about us.

As in, yes, while BradyManning 17 takes place earlier in the day, the teams with the two best records in the NFL go at it in the NFC championship game tonight.

That would be the host Carolina Panthers, that rare team to go 15-1 in the regular season, and the Ari-

zona Cardinals, who were next in the NFC and overall standings at 13-3. Maybe it isn’t the juiciest story line dominating the football world, but there’s plenty of reasons to be intrigued by this one, too.

“One guy (Tom Brady) is playing in his 10th and there are two guys that are playing in their first,” Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer says of reaching the

last step before the Super Bowl. Palmer, in his 13th season, and Panthers QB Cam Newton, in his fifth, are newbies at conference title games. “Everybody has a different journey.

Everybody has a different path, and however it works out is the way it works out.

Everybody has different roads.”

That’s also true for the coaches. Arizona’s Bruce Arians’ long and winding coaching road goes back to his time at Alabama under Bear Bryant. Ron Rivera, a linebacker for the awesome Chicago Bears’ defense of the 1980s, spent time on three coaching staffs before landing the Carolina gig.

Both franchises have been to the Super Bowl and lost close contests. New England beat Carolina 3229 after the 2003 season, and Pittsburgh edged Arizona 27-23 for the 2009 championship.

“I think we are the better team,” Panthers All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson says. “I’m pretty sure

they are saying the same thing, that they are the better team. We’ll find out on Sunday.”

Some things to watch for in the NFC championship game, which kicks off at 5:40 p.m.: HEISMANS — This is the first meeting of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks in a conference championship.

Palmer won it at Southern California in 2002 and Newton took it at Auburn eight years later.

This has been the best pro season for both of them. Newton, the All-Pro QB, threw for 35 touchdowns and ran for 10, an unprecedented number for the position. Palmer has the highest passer rating, 104.6, of any of the four remaining quarterbacks — yes, higher than Hall of Fame-bound Brady and Peyton Manning — and also threw for 35 scores.

The list of Heisman winners at the position who had NFL success has been slim. Consider these names surrounding Palmer’s award: Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, Jason White and Matt Leinart.

Better to look at the professional pedigree. When healthy, Palmer has been a solid quarterback if not spectacular, and he is a perfect fit for Arians’ schemes in Arizona.

Newton has taken the Panthers to three straight NFC South titles, something never previously achieved. His skill set can be overwhelming, as is his confidence.

He expects to perform at a high level regardless of the circumstances or pressure.

“I don’t get nervous,” Newton says. “I’ve been playing football too long for me to get nervous. I have dreamed of being in this position.”

WEATHER — A severe winter storm rocked the Carolinas, although conditions should be fine by kickoff, if a bit chilly for Charlotte.

Both teams could turn to the running game if the weather is problematic, which might be an advantage for the Panthers, with Jonathan Stewart over Arizona rookie David Johnson. Stewart’s 59yard sprint on the first play against Seattle last week catapulted him toward a 106-yard performance and set the tone for a decisive first half.

With solid defenses on both sides — Arizona ranked fifth during the regular season, Carolina sixth — any hangover from the nasty weather could keep the score down.

FITZ VS. JOSH — Josh Norman emerged in 2015 as one of the NFL’s best shutdown cornerbacks. Larry Fitzgerald re-emerged as one of the league’s most dangerous receivers this season.

When they match up, it could be the most entertaining and significant battle in the game.

Norman likes to get physical, as his antagonistic showdown with the Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr. showed

in December. Fitzgerald doesn’t get intimidated.

“Josh Norman is a premier cornerback,” Fitzgerald says. “There’s a reason he’s going to be the highestpaid free agent come this offseason. Whatever team he goes to, I hope it’s in the AFC, so we don’t have to deal with him.”

The Cardinals will move Fitzgerald around, into the slot at times, and even coming through the backfield as he did on the shovel pass that beat Green Bay in overtime last week. That will put someone else on him at times.

But mostly, it will be the ultra-confident Norman.

DON’T GET CONSERVATIVE — Carolina played it way too safe last week after building a 31-0 lead over Seattle at halftime.

The final? Try 31-24, as the Seahawks dominated the last two quarters.

Rivera has acknowledged that the Panthers got way too protective instead of continuing to push the pace, challenge the Seahawks. He promises that won’t happen again, though he probably should be concerned how his defense ran out of gas in the second half of that game.

Arians has warned Palmer not to be too restrained, concerned that the quarterback could check off some plays against a defense led by three All-Pros in Norman and linebackers Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis.

One thing for certain is Arizona won’t back off on its aggression on defense.

Book explores little-known tidbits, mysteries of history

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain” by Giles Milton c.2016, Picador $16, 272 pages What’s done is done.

You can’t go back and erase the past, as much as you might try. You can alter its affects, make excuses for it, or pretend it never happened, but what’s done is done. And as you’ll see in the new book “When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain” by Giles Milton,

more was done than you think.

Every good historian knows that history’s filled with dates, battles and facts that can be mind-numbing for the average person. Those are things your high school history teacher tried to make you memorize – but there’s a lot that textbooks never tell.

Did you know, for instance, that Adolph Hitler might’ve had a love child that would “quite possibly still” be alive? Or that Hitler’s brother joined the U.S. Army in World War II and

fought against the Germans?

There are things in history that we know, almost. A corpse suggests how explorer George Mallory died, but nobody knows if he made it to the top of Everest. After the Titanic sank, a kitchen worker survived hours in icy water, perhaps due to the two bottles of whiskey he drank earlier. And that Agatha Christie disappeared for 11 days is a fact; why is her biggest mystery.

But unknowns aren’t the only surprises from the past: in this book, you’ll read about history’s

“most prolific murderess” and a monk that wouldn’t die. You’ll learn about a 9-year-old who dedicated his life to an emperor in a very drastic way, and you’ll see stories of the most unsavory meals…

And then there are history’s little-known but astounding people: the man who survived two hydrogen bomb drops and lived to be 93. The captain who chose cash over “chattels” at sea. Men who talked in code to foil the Japanese. And the Polish Catholic woman who sin-

gle-handedly saved more than 2,000 Jews.

There’s a lot of good reading inside “When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain.” And a lot of fun, too.

I enjoyed this book with the consternation that comes when you know something’s going to end, but you don’t want it to – and that’s the feeling I think you’ll get, too, when you read “When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain.” Start this book, and you’ll want more when it’s done.

Doctors debate age to stop mammograms

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lost in the arguing over whether women should begin mammograms at age 40 or 50 or somewhere in between is the issue theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all eventually face: when to stop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a point at which everybody begins to scratch their head and say how much longer do you have to keep doing this?â&#x20AC;? said American Cancer Society specialist Robert Smith.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increasingly complex balancing act as older women are living even longer. The risk of breast cancer rises with age.

But so do the odds of other serious illnesses that may be more likely to kill in a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remaining life span â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or to make them less able to withstand the rigors of cancer treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we pick up a cancer in someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75 and they die at 76 of something else, did it really matter? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the question here,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Susan Boolbol, breast surgery chief at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medi-

cal Center in New York.

Medical guidelines donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree.

The cancer societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice: Women should continue mammograms as long as their overall health is good and they have a life expectancy of at least 10 more years. Last week, guidelines issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough evidence to recommend for or against mammograms at age 75 and older, because that age group just hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been studied enough to tell.

Getting such evidence is â&#x20AC;&#x153;critical, given the graying of America,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jeanne Mandelblatt, an expert on cancer and aging at Georgetown University.

Indeed, some in the 80-andbeyond crowd are as spry as 60-somethings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are taking better care of themselves,â&#x20AC;? said Yale University pathologist Dr. Fattaneh Tavassoli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start discussing it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be more difficult to come up with man-

agement approaches for these patients.â&#x20AC;?

She recently reported that Yaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical center is diagnosing more breast cancer at 90 and older, averaging about eight diagnoses a year since 2000, compared with one a year during the 1990s. Many were diagnosed after the woman or doctor detected an abnormality, not from routine mammograms, Tavassoli said.

But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asked if other hospitals see a similar trend and also wants to study what treatment they underwent.

Marion Jones was 84 and active when a mammogram spotted breast cancer. Surgeons removed a small tumor but during follow-up chemotherapy Jones developed pneumonia and blood clots. She needed a portable oxygen tank for a year until her lungs healed.

For Jones, mammograms were â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a habitâ&#x20AC;? that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question when a new doctor said she was due, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grateful her cancer was

detected. But now 86 and healthy again, the Silver Spring, Maryland, woman recently told her oncologist that if her cancer ever returns, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want chemo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Marion, at your age you probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t die of breast cancer anyway. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be something else,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Jones recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to hear.â&#x20AC;?

About 26 percent of breast cancer deaths each year are attributed to a diagnosis after age 74, according to the American Cancer Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The question we have not really studied very carefully is what fraction of those deaths is truly avoidable,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

Mammography does decline as women get older. About three-quarters of women age 50 to 74 have had a mammogram within two years, compared with 41 percent of the 85plus group, according to 2013 government figures.

Mammograms bring pros and cons for the oldest women like they do for middle-aged

ones, the possibility of reducing breast cancer death versus false alarms, unneeded biopsies and detection of a tumor so small or slow-growing that it never would have posed a threat.

Georgetownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mandelblatt used math models to analyze that balance, and estimated that healthy older women could benefit from regular screening through age 78 or 80. But among women who already had other moderate to severe illnesses, the harms of screening could outweigh benefits as early as 68, she said.

If cancer is found in the frail, Mount Sinaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boolbol notes there are less aggressive options that aim to stop a tumorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth rather than eradicate it.

She wants doctors and patients to have frank discussions about the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall health in deciding how long to continue mammograms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really needs to be based on their health status, and not your age,â&#x20AC;? Boolbol said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one-size-fits-all.â&#x20AC;?

Effort to curb overuse of antibiotics amid cold, flu seasons

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold season, and the miserable continue to trudge in, seeking antibiotics because of mucus turned green, or a cough that has nagged for weeks.

Despite years of warnings, doctors still overprescribe antibiotics for acute respiratory infections even though most are caused by viruses that those drugs cannot help.

Now doctors are getting new tips on how to avoid unnecessary antibiotics for these common complaints â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to withstand the patient whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demanding one.

Sure bronchitis sounds scary. So describe it as a chest cold. And no, color changes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for an antibiotic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Antibiotics are terrific.

Thank God we have them for really bad things. But we need to be judicious in the way we use them,â&#x20AC;? said American College of

Physicians President Dr. Wayne J. Riley, an internal medicine professor at Vanderbilt University.

Rather than sending patients off with little advice about what to do while their bodies fight off a virus, how about a prescription instead for some over-the-counter or home remedies that just might ease the cough or the pain? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re calling for the symptomatic prescription pad,â&#x20AC;? Riley said, describing information sheets that suggest simple aids like humidifiers and plenty of fluid, have a space to scribble directions for an OTC drug â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and tell patients when to return if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting better.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a sample on its website.

Antibiotics are losing their effectiveness, and inappropriate prescribing is one factor. Repeated exposure can lead germs to become resistant to the

Medications, cleaners can be irresistible to kids Associated Press

Detergent pods, lamp oil, button batteries and Grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood pressure meds wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make most peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of top treats.

However, they can be irresistible to young children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see kids getting into anything around the house,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Robert Cox, director of the Mississippi Poison Control Center and University of Mississippi Medical Center professor of emergency medicine.

It happens more than people think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see accidental poisonings on a daily basis,â&#x20AC;? said Barry Gilmore, director of emergency services at Le Bonheur Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medical Center in Memphis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate how much younger kids can get into.â&#x20AC;?

Nationally, children under 6 accounted for just over 1 million exposures reported to U.S. Poison Control Centers in 2014.

The vast majority had no effect or minor effects.

Just over 1 percent had moderate or severe outcomes, with 34 pediactric deaths.

Medications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both prescription and overthe-counter, cosmetics, cleaning products are among the most common

source of trouble. Some of the medication exposures come from mistakes in dosing by parents and caregivers. Others come from mistaken identity, Cox sad. Certain colorful medications and detergent pods can look like candy. Windex and lamp oils can look like Kool-Aid. However, many exposures are the result of the way toddlers are programmed to make sense of their environment, said Tupelo pediatrician Dr. Ben Meeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a stage where they want to put everything in their mouths,â&#x20AC;?

Meeks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how they explore the world.â&#x20AC;?

Parents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to panic, but they do need to be smart. A lock on the under-the-sink cabinet door is a good start, but it has to go further, Meeks said. Parents canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on child-resistant tops to keep kids out of medicine bottles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Child resistant is not child proof,â&#x20AC;? said Meeks, who suggests locked tackle boxes to keep meds away from little hands.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important not to wait until your child is mobile to begin baby proofing the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be ready early,â&#x20AC;? Meeks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of reach, out of sight.â&#x20AC;?

drugs. The CDC estimates that drug-resistant bacteria cause 2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths each year in the U.S. Another reason not to use them unnecessarily: side effects. Antibiotics are implicated in 1 of 5 emergency-room visits for bad drug reactions, CDC says.

Particularly troubling is an increase in severe diarrhea caused by C-diff, the Clostridium difficile bug that can take hold in the gut after antibiotics kill off other bacteria.

CDC has seen improvement from pediatricians in antibiotic prescribing but overuse remains a big problem for adults, especially with respiratory illnesses, said Dr. Lauri Hicks, who heads CDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Smartâ&#x20AC;? antibiotic education campaign.

Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines, from CDC and the American College of Physicians, move beyond simple statements that antibiotics donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for viruses like the common cold or

the flu. They lay out how doctors begin deciding if antibiotics are warranted for some other common respiratory complaints, explain that decision to patients and offer guidance on symptom relief.

Among the advice, published in Annals of Internal Medicine: â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Acute bronchitis is airway inflammation, irritation that makes you cough, sometimes as long as six weeks. The guidelines say not to perform special testing or prescribe antibiotics unless pneumonia is suspected, something often accompanied by a fast heartbeat, fever or abnormal breathing sounds.

Over-the-counter symptom relief includes cough suppressants such as dextromethorphan; mucus-thinning expectorants such as guaifenesin; and antihistamines or decongestants. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sore throats are hugely common but adults are far less likely

plain how to tell if cough and cold relievers contain a sedating antihistamine, and that nasal sprays clear congestion quickly but that using them for too many days can trigger rebound symptoms. He asks if patients are taking multiple products that contain acetaminophen, best known as Tylenol, because too much can damage the liver. Often, his patients say an overthe-counter drug isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working when in fact, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it as directed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a dizzying arrayâ&#x20AC;? of drugstore symptom relievers, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make miserable patients sort through them without help, said CDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hicks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a right answer that works for everybody,â&#x20AC;? she said. But sometimes something as basic as a humidifier â&#x20AC;&#x153;can make a difference in terms of how you feel when you wake up in the morning.â&#x20AC;?

than children to have the strep throat that requires an antibiotic. A rapid strep test is available if patients have suspicious symptoms such as persistent fever, night sweats or swollen tonsils.

Pain-relieving options for adults include aspirin, acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, and throat lozenges. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sinus infections can be very painful but usually clear up without antibiotics even if bacteria are to blame. The guidelines say antibiotics should be reserved for patients with no signs of improvement after 10 days, severe symptoms such as fever higher than 102, or whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called double-sickening, when someone starts to recover and then gets worse.

Possible symptom relievers include decongestants, nasal sprays, saline nasal irrigation and pain medications.
