Removing Old Moses Jobless rate shows modest increase

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County unemployment hit 6.3 percent in December, showing an increase from the prior month and a year ago.

The not seasonally adjusted rate generally rose across the state, with Mississippi unemployment at 7.2 percent, rising from 5.8 percent in November. Alcorn County’s rate compares to 5.2 percent in November and 6 percent a year ago.

The county retained a spot in the state’s top 10, ranking ninth.

Labor market data released

Wednesday by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security showed the county with 1,010 unemployed, compared to 910 a year earlier, and 15,020 employed, compared to 14,190 in December 2014.

The county had 87 initial claims for unemployment insurance during the month, compared to 109 a year ago, and 414 continued claims, compared to 509 in December 2014.

The last brick wall comes down about 2:30 p.m. Thursday on the old Moses building.

Fire-damaged building cleared away end loader was knocking down one of the last standing brick walls. Work crews were busy using small bulldozers to load the crumbled debris into dump trucks. Much of the concrete slab could be seen.

Heavily damaged by fire last year on April 1, the commercial structure at South Tate Street and U.S. Highway 72 had become a source of concern for safety and appearance.

Most of “old Moses” came down Thursday.

Work to remove asbestos contamination began about two weeks ago. Buddy Ayers Construction on Thursday took down the majority of the structure.

Only the automotive business will remain, with the rest to be cleaned to the slab. About 2:30 p.m. Thursday, a front-

Corinth students are meeting the challenge of the Cambridge International Examinations program.

Dozens of students left an awards ceremony Thursday morning wearing honor cords around their necks in recognition of their achievements.

“What an impressive showing today by these students here at Corinth High School,” Superintendent Lee Childress said before a gymnasium full of students and proud parents.

Corinth Elementary School first and second graders were respectable, responsible and ready to learn.

A trio of American Legion Post 6 members couldn’t ask for a better crowd as it shared a portion of its Americanism program with the youngsters Wednesday morning.

“I look at this as being our primary community program,” said Post 6 Commander Tommy Watson. “Teachers now expect us to be here and

are priming students to learn about the flag and pledge … we get better and better answers from the students each year we come.”

Post 6 visits each school in Alcorn County. All first graders are presented a miniature American Flag while second graders receive a ruler with the Golden Rule listed on the front.

Legion members also come in to teach fourth graders the proper way to handle the flag.

Grease fire extinguished at local restaurant

LEGION

Firefighters responded to a grease fire at Backyard Burgers on Harper Road. No damage was reported to the restaurant.

“It is good to see students wanting to learn about the flag.”

CONTINUED FROM 1A

“We are the first step in planting the seed of patriotism,” said American Legion Media Representative Chris Perry.

“It is good to see students wanting to learn about the flag,” added John Oldham with the American Legion.

Watson spoke with students about rules and the flag.

“There are all kinds of rules to follow … rules I have to follow and I am old,” he said with a smile. “Always remember to treat others the way you want to be treated.”

First graders got a chance to answer questions about the flag. Questions such as how many stars are on the flag and what do they represent?

“I like our ruler program because it puts a principle in front of them that they can use every day,” said Watson.

“It helps develop character.”

While the Americanism program consists of a broad and objective,

John Oldham multi-faceted program featuring widerange community service, better citizenship, youth development and counter-subversive activities, the efforts of the National Americanism Commission are generally educational in nature and embrace specific objectives, according to its Americanism manuel.

Americanism is an unfailing love of country, loyalty to its institutions and ideals, eagerness to defend it against all enemies, individual allegiance to the flag and a desire to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

Events such as American Legion Baseball, Boys State, and an oratorical contest for high school students are among numerous other things done by the American Legion under its Americanism program.

“The people here have always trusted the leadership and been willing to follow the vision,” said Dr. Bostick. “Unity is the earmark of the church and the biggest sign was voting 494-6 to relocate.”

Oakland purchased 20 acres when it voted to make the move, 16 coming from Troy Bumpas.

“It was a huge moment for us,” added Bro. Bostick.

“We paid for some things along the way then borrowed money to finish.”

Members were challenged to pay off the debt this year, according to the pastor. A special offering netted $440,000 in November.

“When it got under a million, we started to see the end of it,” added Bostick. “A lot of people have sacrificed for a long time … we had some large gifts

month but was 10,500 higher than one year ago.

Industry sectors registering the largest monthly employment losses were government and leisure & hospitality.

Across the state, jobless rates ranged from 4.7 percent in Rankin County to 18.6 percent in Issaquena County.

The state’s seasonally adjusted rate also rose from 6 percent in November to 6.4 percent in December.

Regional and state unemployment rates were little changed in December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.

Twenty-five states had unemployment rate decreases from November; 14 states had increases; and 11 states and the District of Columbia had no change.

Forty-two states and the District of Columbia had unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, while eight states had increases.

The national jobless rate was unchanged from November at 5.0 percent and was 0.6 percentage point lower than in December 2014.

ber of students that achieve recognition in this program. And this recognition continues to grow.”

Special kudos went to two juniors who posted the top scores among all students in the country — Daniel Villaflor for AICE history and Baylee Howard for AICE pure math.

“The Cambridge experience and results that are announced today are not being duplicated anywhere else in the state of Mississippi,” said CHS Principal Dane Aube. “For that, we should be exceptionally proud.”

A total of 194 students, or 17 percent of the CHS student body, received an award for performance in the rigorous Cambridge program.

“We’ve gone from two AICE diplomas in the first year we started this program to awarding 17 today to the class of 2016,” said Childress. “We anticipate additional students will earn this once we have the May and June administration. That will take us to about 15 percent of the graduating class earning an AICE diploma.”

AICE is the Advanced International Certificate of Education Diploma. The other Cambridge level is the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE).

“The IGCSE classes are given to every one of our students at CHS when they are in the ninth and 10th grade,” said Dana Bullard, who works with the Cambridge program. “It’s very unusual for that to happen.”

Most schools instead choose a targeted cohort of students.

“We know these classes are difficult,” said Bullard. “We know the students, all of them, are really working hard to earn these national guidelines for college and career readiness standards.”

Corinth is one of a small number of Mississippi school districts using the Cambridge model as part of the Excellence for All pilot.

With emphasis on college and career readiness, “These standards are far more challenging than what most other students in Mississippi and this country are facing,” said Childress.

“Plans are to provide enough parking and Sunday School space then keep going,” said Dr. Bostick.

Two worship services are also an option in the future.

“This is not a wealthy or perfect church,” said Bostick. “We are a people’s church with godly people.”

Bostick became pastor at Oakland in 1984.

“I wanted to be at a place that could make a difference,” he said. “This church has touched the world through missions … it has been a wonderful time for me and my family.”

The pastor believes God is already putting things in place for what He would have Oakland to do in the future.

along the way and we also had some widow’s mites.”

Oakland’s ministries have flourished since the relocating. The church, which averages around 600 in Sunday School, had a record-crowd 2,750 people on Easter Sunday two years ago.

“The money seemed like a large number, but we saw we just couldn’t come out here piece by piece,” said Bostick, who has led the church for 31 years. “We figured out we just had to come … it has allowed us to do ministries we couldn’t have done at the other place.”

Paying off the huge debt opens the door for other ministries, according to Bostick.

“We are out of Sunday School space now,” said Bostick. “We are meeting everywhere except the church office.”

The church plans to address the space issues with its 20/20 Vision.

Prentiss supervisors to demolish building BOONEVILLE — A dilapidated downtown building will soon come down to make way for better parking.

Prentiss County Supervisors voted last week to seek bids for the demolition of the former Department of Human Services building at the corner of Main Street and Hotel Street.

The building was vacated last fall when DHS moved into its new offices in the Prentiss County Government An-

nex (the former Blue Bell Building). The building will be demolished with the debris removed and the site left ready and leveled for future paving.

Initial plans call for the space to be used for additional parking for the county courthouse.

Baldwyn gives body cameras to officers BALDWYN — The Baldwyn Police Department now has body cameras for each officer to use while on the job.

Police Chief Troy Agnew tells WTVA-TV that the body cameras will give officers a new perspective while on patrol, and will hopefully help with officers’ honesty and professionalism.

The department was able to acquire the cameras through special assessments that come through traffic tickets. That enabled department officials to purchase the cameras without the need to use taxpayer dollars.

Assistant Police Chief Paul Simpson says anything the camera captures cannot be edited.

Mayor Michael James says the city is expected to pass an ordinance this week that will hold officers accountable for not having their cameras on during every encounter with the public.

Columbus officers use lasers to train COLUMBUS (AP) — In order to train officers to react within seconds at a scene, the Columbus

Police Department is using a system known as the Firearm Training Simulator.

WCBI-TV reports the system, also known as F.A.T.S., allows officers to train with real weapons that are modified with laser technology instead of using live ammunition. The program is projected onto a screen and takes officers through different scenarios, allowing them to hone in on their shooting skills.

Senior Range Officer James Hanson says the system gives officers only milliseconds to make decisions. He says dynamics in the training can be changed, like making the perpetrator more or less aggressive.

Hanson calls the training beneficial to both new officers and to “3040 year veterans.”

Columbus officers are required to complete the training at least once per year.

UM offers nutrition, hospitality program OXFORD — The University of Mississippi has been approved to start a Doctor of Philosophy program in the Department of Nutrition and Hospitality Management that will offer concentrations in general nutrition, nutrition policy, sport nutrition and hospitality management.

Housed within the School of Applied Sciences, NHM has more than 500 students pursuing both undergraduate and graduate

degrees in nutrition and hospitality managementrelated programs. The new doctoral program is a welcome addition, said David H. Holben, professor and chair of NHM. “This program not only showcases the expert professors in NHM and the work being done here at Ole Miss, but it will also develop new scholars who will leave a positive impact all over the nation,” Holben said.

“The expertise of our faculty will attract students from Mississippi and beyond. Our faculty are known internationally for their scholarly work related to sport nutrition, food insecurity and childhood obesity.”

The hospitality industry is the fourth-largest private sector employer in the state, according to data compiled by the Mississippi Tourism Association. Meanwhile, dietitians and nutritionists held more than 67,000 jobs in 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

For the NHM doctorate, students will complete 66 postbaccalaureate credit hours, including core requirements, program emphasis courses and 18 dissertation hours.

The program will emphasize the science of nutrition and its application within academic, clinical and community settings.

The program strengthens the overall academic environment on the Ole Miss campus, said John Z. Kiss, dean of the UM Graduate School.

“The new doctorate

in NHM is a great addition to our graduate offerings at UM,” he said. “I congratulate the School of Applied Sciences and the department for developing this high-quality, innovative degree. I am convinced that this exciting and highly relevant doctoral program will produce excellent scholars who will be in high demand as new faculty in leading universities throughout the U.S.” The NHM department already sponsors the UM Nutrition Clinic which provides nutrition services for students, faculty, staff and the OxfordLafayette County community; Lenoir Dining, an educational food lab and restaurant where students gain experience in hospitality management; and the Center of Health and Sport Performance, which educates student-athletes on the importance of nutrition and diet.

“This program is a wonderful accomplishment of our many outstanding faculty and administrators at UM,” Provost Morris Stocks said.

The program is yet another stride taken to fulfill the school’s “scholar model” said Velmer Burton, dean of the School of Applied Sciences.

“The research and knowledge created and disseminated by the program’s faculty and graduate students will work to improve the lives and conditions of Mississippians and their communities,” Burton said.

Authorities seeking man in fatal chase Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Authorities searched the streets of Memphis on Thursday for a suspect who was involved in a police chase that led to the fatal shooting of another man who fired at officers.

Law enforcement officers were assembled at the scene of the shooting near a church in a south Memphis neighborhood, trying to piece together

the circumstances of Wednesday’s frantic pursuit and deadly shootout.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation — the state police agency in charge of the shooting investigation — says officers in two Memphis Police Department cruisers tried to stop a Chevrolet Impala for a routine traffic violation, but the driver of the car sped away.

Officers started to pur-

sue the car but backed off, bureau spokesman Josh DeVine said. Police continued to watch the car as it drove recklessly through the neighborhood and crashed. The men ran away from the crash scene, and an officer from each police vehicle gave chase on foot, DeVine said.

During the pursuit, one of the men from the Impala opened fire on

the officers, DeVine said.

The two Memphis officers returned fire, shooting the suspect, he said.

DeVine didn’t indicate in what part of the body the man was shot.

“The officers were coming under gunfire from one of the suspects,” DeVine told reporters

Wednesday night. “The officers fired their weapons several times, striking the suspect, who later died.”

The second man eluded officers.

DeVine said the state agency was not releasing the name of the dead man yet because relatives needed to be notified.

Corinth, Miss.

Ted Cruz dares to take on King Corn Ted Cruz has dared to provoke the ire one of the most ruthless and vengeful political forces on the planet, and it’s not Donald Trump. The Texas senator has crossed the ethanol industry in Iowa, Rich which is a little like getting on Lowry the wrong side of the Catholic Church in Vatican City.

National Cruz’s core theme is fightReview ing the “Washington cartel,” which would be a lot easier if its tentacles didn’t extend all the way into the state crucial to Cruz’s presidential hopes.

Other Republicans have refused to bow and scrape before the ethanol industry – John McCain wouldn’t do it 2000, but he didn’t compete in Iowa. Cruz, in contrast, has staked an enormous amount there. His campaign could have been engineered in a lab for Iowa: He is an evangelical who is a hard-liner on immigration and has organized relentlessly on the ground. The only dissonant note is his opposition to the so-called Renewable Fuel Standard that is a government prop for the industry.

Cruz’s stand against it is an act of reckless courage.

The Renewable Fuel Standard requires that ethanol is blended into the nation’s gasoline, and in ever-increasing amounts. The mandate increases the price of gas while doing nothing for the environment. Even former boosters like Al Gore have given up on ethanol as a green wonder fuel. It does much less than advertised to reduce carbon emissions once the entire process of producing it is taken into account.

The economic and environmental effects are beside the point, though. Ethanol gobbles up 40 percent of the corn supply, and so the mandate is beloved by agricultural interests.

Iowa is the nation’s top corn-producing state and has a political trump card. To paraphrase the Paul Harvey Super Bowl ad from a couple of years back, the ethanol mandate can’t survive on the merits, “So God created the Iowa caucuses.”

Possession of the first contest on the presidential-nomination calendar gives Iowa unparalleled power to make presidential candidates prostitute themselves to King Corn.

Almost all of them are happy to do it, except for Ted Cruz, who insists – and this is radical for Iowa – that the mandate be phased out in 2022, or midway through his prospective second term.

The ethanol machine, under the auspices of America’s Renewable Future, has done everything to dog Cruz short of declaring him wanted for grave offenses against Iowa’s favorite boondoggle. The group is headed by Eric Branstad, whose dad happens to be Iowa’s governor for life, Terry Branstad, now on his sixth term. Gov. Branstad recently baldly stated that he wants Cruz defeated. This is a little like the papal bull issued against Queen Elizabeth in 1570 excommunicating her from the Catholic Church and implicitly sanctioning attempts on her life. Branstad wants Cruz dead, and doesn’t particularly care who does the deed.

Enter Donald Trump, the political neophyte and alleged outsider who has a career politician’s instinct for the shameless and self-abasing pander. Trump has done everything but drink pints of ethanol on the stump and promise to open up his own beautiful, gold-plated, Trump-branded ethanol production plants.

For Trump, there is nothing wrong with the ethanol mandate that can’t be cured by making it bigger and better. Trump is supposed to be the fearless truth-teller and a disruptor of the political system, but he is fearlessly telling people what they want to hear and promising to protect a cozy special-interest arrangement.

On ethanol, it is Cruz who is a threat to the status quo. Ethanol’s political hold has been slipping. Now, it is faced with the prospect of a candidate who could win the Iowa caucuses while defying King Corn. If the proponents of ethanol have their way – to borrow from a phrase associated with the oil industry they so hate – there will be blood.

(Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that I may be just and be given to kindness. May I be conscious of my virtues, and use them to overcome my faults.

May I hear clearly thy call that I may be sure of the way as I lead others to duty and happiness. Amen.

A verse to share “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” Romans 13:14

Hosemann’s heart is in the right place OXFORD — Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann did not receive the recognition due for his masterful management in seeking passage, heading off federal resistance and in implementation of Mississippi’s voter ID law.

While many states suffered setback after setback and incurred major expenses from a hostile U.S. Department of Justice, Hosemann dealt deftly with the matter the old-fashioned way. First, he learned from the “mistakes” other states made when trying to require voters to show identification before they cast ballots. Second, he pestered the federal civil rights lawyers to discern every possible objection to such a law and made sure Mississippi addressed each and every one ahead of time. Third, he rolled out a broad public information campaign to assure no one would be “chilled” from casting a ballot due to the requirement.

The result? Mississippi has voter ID, and none of the predicted horrors of mass or even minor disenfranchisement occurred.

Smooth as silk.

The big question, though, is whether requiring ID has reduced fraud at polling places. And the answer, though Hosemann might

disagree, is, “probably not,” or at least there’s no evidence that it has.

Cheaters Charlie find a way.

Mitchell Now Secretary HoseColumnist mann is back with a much longer list. Last week he presented to the Legislature and outlined to the press a comprehensive streamlining and makeover of Mississippi election laws and procedures.

There is absolutely no doubt his heart is in the right place. There is absolutely no doubt that though he is an (evil) Republican, he embodies a burning desire for completely transparent, completely accurate elections that truly reflect the will of the people.

The Legislature should respond favorably.

The package: ■ Creates online registration.

Though some states allow online voting, Hosemann’s plan doesn’t go quite that far. But given that ID is required at polling places, there should be no objection to allowing online registration. It makes sense.

■ Allow early voting — up to 21 days before election

days.

Early voting already happens under the guise of “absentee voting” in Mississippi. Under today’s law, people are required to give a reason. Most any reason would do … sick or disabled, out-of-town, on vacation, traveling for work … anything. If passed, “no reason” would become an acceptable reason.

■ Punish last-minute ambush campaign tactics.

This is a tough one, as it involves the First Amendment. The idea is to at least make people think twice about last-minute lies about opponents or causes on social media or elsewhere.

The proposed law is likely powerless to restrict people outside campaign organizations from starting a rumor that Candidate Bob uses kittens for footballs, but Hosemann’s proposal would at least encourage candidates to avoid the low road.

■ Stop crossover voting in runoffs.

Existing law says a person who votes in a Republican primary can’t vote in a Democratic runoff (and vice versa) during the same election cycle. Apparently not enough people are aware of this and Hosemann proposes a tightening up. It’s just not cricket to get your guy nominated and then cross

over to try to make sure he (or she) has the weakest possible general election opponent.

There are several other changes — finance disclosures, moving presidential primaries to March 1 to join other Southern states — and a few tweaks.

Each and every one is designed to add integrity to the process.

In high school, elections were simple. Sue for student body president. Bob for most handsome. Everybody votes once and the person with the most votes wins.

Public elections have grown vastly more complicated. It gets messy in a hurry and that — plus a distaste for politics overall — causes people to opt out.

What Hosemann and other solid officials know is that for the state to operate as it should, a clean and clear set of rules and procedures is essential. Applaud him for that.

And the cheaters? Hosemann has a plan for them, too. His proposals streamline and clarify definitions of electoral crime: Up to one year for misdemeanors and two years for felonies.

Americans tire of elites considering them stupid How stupid and vicious do they think we are?

That’s a question that I think explains a lot of things about politics and society today – and about this year’s unpredicted presidential race.

The “us” in that question are ordinary citizens and the “they” are political and media elites who hold them in contempt – which they do over and over again by trying to obfuscate and cover up the source and motives of terrorist attacks.

Barack Obama, who refuses to use phrases akin to “Islamist terrorism” is a prime, but far from the only, offender. His predecessor, George W. Bush, after the attacks of Sept. 11 made a point of visiting mosques and calling Islam a religion of peace.

Undoubtedly, he then feared that many Americans would attack and assault Muslims, actual or perceived, and a very few such attacks occurred. But government statistics count far fewer “hate crimes” against Muslims than against Jews.

Nonetheless Obama still behaves as if any suggestion

that terrorists shouting “Allahu akbar!” has something to do with Islam will Michael spark masBarone sacres and persecution Columnist across the country. The American people are seen as a great beast, incapable of reason or cool judgment.

Stupid and vicious.

So they must be reminded that they are not morally superior to terrorists. At a national prayer breakfast Obama felt obliged to remind Americans that Christians attacked Muslims – in the Crusades 800 years ago.

Others have followed his example. In a press conference earlier this month Philadelphia police officials described how a Muslim dressed in a white religious robe fired multiple rounds at a police officer, “in the name of Islam,” as he said after his arrest. You could see it on videotape.

At which point Philadelphia Mayor James Kenney proclaimed, “In no way,

shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen.”

How stupid and vicious does he think we are?

Americans may be noticing, as well, how far political correctness has gone in Europe, especially Germany.

European and American elites praised Chancellor Angela Merkel for promising to take in 1 million mostly Muslim, mostly male refugees. Why can’t America be so generous?

But ordinary people, there and here, have seen how police, municipal and national officials have covered up migrants’ New Year’s Eve mass assaults on women in Cologne and other cities, and how print and broadcast media eagerly cooperated. Cellphone cameras told the story that elite media wanted to ignore.

It’s a story, as even some Americans notice, that shows the underside of a European multiculturalism that insists that all cultures are morally equal, except ours, which is worse. The

result is that authorities don’t demand that Muslims respect the rights of women and gays, as in Rotherham, England, where they allowed immigrants to degrade 1,400 women and children for a decade, lest they be called racist.

Ordinary people can see, when elites allow them to see, that this gets things upside down. Human rights, toleration of those who are different, safety for those who exercise freedom of expression – these are products of the West, not the rest.

The hard question is how far tolerant societies should tolerate those who are intolerant.

Ordinary Americans, I think, have a better sense of how to get these questions right than the elites who look down on them as stupid and vicious.

Reed remembered ‘Eight’ brings Tarantino darkness Tarantino usually takes the audience on as voice for progress an outstanding journey which keeps the

BY JEFF AMY

Associated Press

JACKSON — Jack Reed Sr., a Tupelo businessman who spoke out against Mississippi’s segregationist culture and was a longtime advocate for public schools before losing a race for governor in 1987, has died.

Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton in a statement said the 91-year-old died Wednesday. City spokeswoman Leesha Faulkner said she doesn’t know what caused Reed’s death.

After Army service in World War II and education, Reed returned to Tupelo to help run his family’s businesses, including a department store founded by his father in 1905 and a garment factory.

Family-owned Reed’s Department Store continues to operate four locations in northeast Mississippi.

Reed was an active Methodist layman and supporter of the Boy Scouts, but was little known statewide until January 1963.

In the aftermath of James Meredith integrating the University of Mississippi in 1962 amid civil unrest put down by federal troops, many lawmakers were considering closing any public school ordered to accept black students. In January 1963, Reed became one of the few prominent white Mississippians to contradict segregationist orthodoxy. Tapped to become the next president of the Mississippi Economic Council — the state chamber of commerce — Reed called on members of the group to abstain from violence, obey federal court orders, and keep public schools open even if they were ordered to integrate.

“It is a fact that the entire system of public education is indispensable to the economic welfare of all the citizens of the state,” Reed said in a speech that won national notice. “It is a hard and unpleasant fact that integration has been forced upon us once, and will very likely be forced upon us again, and it is a fact that as concerned citizens we have a personal responsibility to face up to this situation.”

It was a risky stand for a man whose family depended on the goodwill of its department store customers, especially when other dissenters from segregationist orthodoxy

had been socially ostracized and economically bulldozed.

“I went in with my eyes wide open,” Reed said later. “But I wanted to say it.

I felt it needed to be said.”

After taking office in 1980, Gov. William Winter named Reed to lead a committee to recommend improvements to Mississippi’s education system.

Those recommendations led to the Education Reform Act of 1982, which among other changes created publicly funded kindergartens and overhauled the makeup of the state Board of Education.

Winter told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Reed “saw a role for totally selfless leadership in the state.”

“I think the state had lost one of its signal leaders, one of its most valuable citizens,” Winter said.

Winter’s successor, Gov. Bill Allain, appointed Reed to the new Board of Education, and he served as its first chairman. Reed would continue to advocate for public schools, including higher funding, well into the 2000s, often working with Winter.

Reed also continued seeking racial reconciliation, telling a group of Methodists in 1965 that, “I honestly do not see how God can solve problems in human relations without our help.”

Reed later was a member of a national Methodist commission on religion and race and served with Winter on a 2001 commission that unsuccessfully sought to change Mississippi’s state flag to exclude the Confederate battle emblem.

Tupelo leaders lauded Reed for helping his hometown grow into a regional center. He was a founding member of the Community Development Foundation, which recruited industry to a formerly agricultural region and seeded community development projects.

“His handprints can be found all over our community and will be looked upon for generations as what it means to truly live as a servant leader,” said David Rumbarger, president and CEO of the Community Development Foundation.

One of Reed’s four children, Jack Reed Jr., was mayor of Tupelo from 2009 to 2013.

Man appeals conviction over poison-laced letters Associated Press

ABERDEEN — A Mississippi man seeks to overturn his 2014 conviction that he sent poison-laced letters to President Barack Obama and others.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that James Everett Dutschke has asked the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn dismissal of earlier conviction appeals in the Northern District of Mississippi.

In a five-page, hand-

written document filed Monday, Dutschke insists his request was not “frivolous” because he is “without any legal counsel or guidance” to properly proceed in the courts.

Dutschke pleaded guilty in early 2014 to four counts that he manufactured the poison ricin and mailed it in threats to the president and others, including U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Lee County Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland.

250 social workers to be added Associated Press

JACKSON — The new head of Mississippi’s troubled foster care system has a simple message for current and aspiring social workers — Come work for him.

Speaking Thursday at the Mississippi Child Welfare Institute Conference, former state Supreme Court Justice David Chandler said his agency needs to hire nearly 250 social workers and supervisors in coming months. He’s encour-

aging the leaders of social work education programs to steer applicants to the agency, saying a projected pay raise could make the jobs more attractive.

A federal judge has ordered the state to show improvement soon or risk the judge taking over child welfare operations.

Chandler, who took over in December, says he thinks more workers will help improve things, but a court monitor also recently criticized management.

Teacher finalists honor Challenger

BY MARCIA DUNN

“We felt we all wanted to be part of it.”

AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Dozens of educators who competed alongside Christa McAuliffe to become the first teacher in space gathered Thursday to remember the seven astronauts who perished aboard Challenger 30 years ago.

McAuliffe’s son, Scott, now 39, also took part in the emotionally charged ceremony, held on a bleak, drizzly morning just six miles from where his mother’s space shuttle blasted off for the final time on Jan. 28, 1986.

Many of the teacherin-space semifinalists are retired now. They have gray hair. A few limp. But they still believe strongly in what McAuliffe hoped to accomplish aboard Challenger before disaster struck during liftoff.

“It’s really hard” to be back, said William Dillon, 77, a retired teacher who represented California in the competition back in the mid-1980s.

He was at Kennedy Space Center for Challenger’s launch and had gotten to know not only McAuliffe, but a few of the other astronauts on the doomed flight.

Linda Preston, 61, also retired as a teacher, choked up as the names of the Challenger dead were read during the memorial service. The former space shuttle pilot reciting the names of all 24 astronauts killed in the line of duty over the years, Jon McBride, had

David Warner Connecticut semifinalist, who still teaches science, robotics and rocketry to fight back tears.

“All of a sudden, I couldn’t breathe,” Preston later confided to a reporter. She represented Utah in the teacher competition.

About 40 of the 113 remaining semifinalists for teacher-in-space traveled to Cape Canaveral for the anniversary commemoration, the biggest gathering ever for a NASA memorial like this.

“We felt we all wanted to be part of it,” said Connecticut semifinalist David Warner, 63, who still teaches science, robotics and rocketry.

Like so many of his colleagues, Warner wanted to see Kennedy’s “Forever Remembered” exhibit that opened last summer. It contains the only piece of Challenger wreckage on public display, a 12-foot section of the left-side body panel complete with the U.S. flag, as well as personal belongings of the Challenger and Columbia crews.

The ceremony was one of several NASA memorials that took place Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery and elsewhere around the country.

At Kennedy, rain

moved the ceremony indoors, directly in front of the “Forever Remembered” exhibit. The gathering took place beneath the suspended shuttle Atlantis, which in 2011 made the final shuttle flight.

Afterward, McAuliffe and other children of the Challenger dead laid a wreath at the outdoor Space Mirror Memorial. Each guest received a rose or carnation to attach to the railing in front of the massive granite mirror.

McAuliffe, who works in education technology in Maine, said having his own two sons there with him — ages 6 and 8 — made it easier. It’s time, he said, that his children see and learn firsthand all about astronauts and the space program.

Indeed, in a nod to the second generation, June Scobee Rodgers — widow of Challenger commander Dick Scobee and longtime spokeswoman for the group — passed the torch to daughter Kathie Scobee Fulgham.

Fulgham — not Scobee Rodgers — was on the stage for the ceremony and introduced guest speaker Barbara Morgan, an Idaho schoolteacher who served as

Christa McAuliffe’s backup so long ago.

Morgan recalled how Dick Scobee was “a deep and poetic thinker,” and how pilot Michael Smith let her “push the stick” during a training jet flight. She said Christa McAuliffe taught her not to worry about what’s unimportant but rather work harder at what truly counts.

Up until the final day before launch, Morgan noted, Christa McAuliffe took time to write college recommendations for her students.

The rest of the Challenger crew, remembered fondly by Morgan: Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka and Gregory Jarvis.

The crowd of about 500 included family members of astronauts killed in all three of NASA’s spacecraft tragedies: Challenger; Columbia’s catastrophic descent on Feb. 1, 2003; and the Apollo 1 fire on Jan. 27, 1967.

For the astronauts’ loved ones, the disasters remain fresh in their minds.

Steven McAuliffe, a federal judge in Concord, New Hampshire, still declines interviews about his late wife Christa. But he noted in a statement that although 30 years have passed, “Challenger will always be an event that occurred just recently. Our thoughts and memories of Christa will always be fresh and comforting.”

Next U.S. commander: Afghanistan worsening Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s nominee to be the next U.S. commander in Afghanistan said Thursday the security situation in the war-torn country is deteriorating and assured senators he will do a thorough review of American troop levels needed to stabilize the nation.

Army Lt. Gen. John W. “Mick” Nicholson Jr. told the Senate Armed Services Committee he will have a better sense of conditions in Afghanistan within a few months if he is confirmed by the Senate.

As wartime commanders must often do, Nicholson walked a fine line during his confirmation hearing. He supported the Obama administration’s exit strategy, which critics have derided as politically driven, while also promising the senators his decisions will be grounded in sound military strategy.

He peppered his answers with phrases like “right-sized” and “rightsourced” to make sure Afghanistan didn’t devolve into the same terrorist harbor it was before the 9/11 attacks.

The U.S. mission in Af-

“We need to prevent Kandahar from falling into the hands of the Taliban.”

Lt. Gen. John W. ‘Mick’ Nicholson Jr. Presidential nominee as next U.S. commander in Afghanistan ghanistan is to conduct counterterrorism missions and to train and assist the Afghan security forces.

There are about 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan. At Campbell’s urging, Obama decided last October to abandon his plan to reduce troop levels to near zero by the end of 2016. Instead, he said they would shrink to 5,500 by the end of the year. His advisers could press Obama to maintain the current level of 9,800 troops until he leaves office in January 2017.

Asked at a Pentagon news conference whether the Taliban is making a comeback, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said: “That’s happened this past fighting season.

We expected that.” And while the Afghans fought well last year, he said, they are still “a force-inthe-making” that can be expected to perform better this year as they gain

more experience and capability.

Carter said Campbell has not recommended to him any increase in U.S. troop levels.

During an exchange with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Nicholson said he would be concerned that the military would not be able to perform counterterrorism operations if the number of American troops fell to a hypothetical 1,000 suggested by Graham.

Nicholson said he supported the decision to retain the 9,800 American troops and he agreed with Campbell’s approach. But the general also said at numerous points during the hearing that he would conduct his own assessment.

Although American forces are no longer engaged in direct action missions against the Taliban, Nicholson said he could not envision U.S. troops remaining on the

sidelines if the strategic city of Kandahar were at risk. Kandahar, in southern Afghanistan, is the spiritual birthplace of the Taliban.

“We need to prevent Kandahar from falling into the hands of the Taliban,” Nicholson said.

The committee chairman, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., opened Nicholson’s confirmation hearing with a blistering assessment of Obama’s handling of the war in Afghanistan and the president’s adherence to a “calendar-based withdrawal.”

“By now, we should have learned from the precipitous withdrawal from Iraq and the disaster that ensued that wars do not end because politicians say so,” McCain said. “Nor will any politician be able to schedule an end to the threat of radical Islamist terrorism emanating from Afghanistan or the region more broadly.”

McCain prefaced a question to Nicholson about the security situation in Afghanistan with his own stark appraisal of the conditions there.

He cited recent battlefield successes by the Taliban, who he said are being aided with weapons from Iran, and the presence of the Islamic State extremist group in Afghanistan.

“The view of many of us is that the security situation in Afghanistan has been deteriorating rather than improving,” McCain said.

“Sir, I agree with your assessment,” Nicholson said. Later, he added, “This is Afghanistan. There will always be some level of violence in Afghanistan.”

‘Affluenza’ teen booked in Texas Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — The teenager who used an “affluenza” defense in a fatal drunken-driving wreck was booked into a juvenile detention center in Texas following his deportation from Mexico on Thursday, more than a month after he and his mother fled the U.S. as prosecutors investigated whether he had violated his probation.

Ethan Couch, 18, arrived at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Thursday morning and could be seen walking through the

airport escorted by law enforcement. Couch and his mother were apprehended in the Mexican resort city of Puerto Vallarta on Dec. 28, after a call for pizza delivery tipped off authorities to their whereabouts.

“We’ve reached a great milestone ... ,” Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said outside the juvenile facility.

Couch is set for a court hearing today when a judge could decide to move him to an adult jail, which Anderson said he would support given the severity of Couch’s offenses.

Hawaii bill: Legalize fantasy sports bets HONOLULU — Hawaii lawmakers want to make an exception to the state’s gambling ban by legalizing fantasy sports contests.

State Attorney General Doug Chin this week said fantasy sports sites, like FanDuel and DraftKings, are illegal under current state laws.

But legislators have proposed a bill that could make an exception for sites like those in light of Hawaii’s changing attitudes toward legalizing gambling. If passed, the proposal would require fantasy contests operators who offer cash prizes to register with the government and pay a $25,000 registration fee.

Nationwide, nearly 60 million Americans play fantasy sports.

Several states are working on laws to regulate the industries, while two states — Nevada and New York — have banned the sites altogether.

Underwood honors military during tour NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country star Carrie Underwood is working with Carnival Cruise Lines and Operation Homefront to honor military families throughout her upcoming “Storyteller” tour.

Underwood will meet with selected military families in 10 cities, and she’ll perform a free concert for hundreds of military families onboard the Carnival Vista in New York on Nov. 4.

Her tour begins Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Grammy-winning singer said in a phone interview that meeting military families is a special experience.

“As an entertainer I get to be onstage and everybody has to listen to me, well, hopefully they want to listen to me,” Underwood said.

“But it’s really nice to get to talk to people and get to hear their stories.”

Fans can purchase commemorative dog tags throughout the tour, with all proceeds going to Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization that provides emergency and financial assistance to families of service members and wounded warriors.

“I feel country music has always been very close and very supportive of military members and their families,” Underwood said. “I feel like this is just another really cool opportunity to say thank you.”

During the tour, Underwood will be performing in the round for the first time, with the crowds surrounding the stage.

Turn film house into museum, PETA says PERRYOPOLIS, Pa. — An animal rights group wants to convert the western Pennsylvania house used in the film “The Silence of the Lambs” into an empathy museum, where visitors could wear the skins of slain and abused animals.

The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says in a release that it has written to the real estate agent handling the sale and wants to create a

museum. The building was home to psychotic killer Buffalo Bill in the 1991 film.

PETA says by wearing animal skins, people would be reminded that animals also are “made of flesh, blood and bone.”

Scott and Barbara Lloyd listed the Layton home for sale last summer. It’s located about 28 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The asking price dropped from $300,000 to $250,000 earlier this month.

Rape suspect shot dead during arrest LENOIR CITY, Tenn. — A man wanted on rape charges is dead after he was shot in Tennessee on Wednesday as deputies tried to arrest him.

District Attorney General Russell Johnson said in a statement that Thongsavanh Vandarack had previously served 17 years in a Wisconsin prison for crimes that included attempted homicide.

According to Johnson’s account of events, because of Vandarack’s violent history, four Loudon County deputies went to Vandarack’s home to serve a warrant for a statutory rape charge after the 40-year-old was accused of having sex with a 13-year-old girl. Two deputies took up positions outside the home to prevent Vandarack from fleeing while two others were let inside by Vandarack’s girlfriend.

Vandarack entered the room with his hands in his pockets, and when the deputies ordered him to remove them he brought out what appeared to be a handgun. Both investigators opened fire.

Vandarack was shot repeatedly and pronounced dead at a hospital.

In an interview after the shooting, Vandarack’s girlfriend told investigators Vandarack did not want to return to prison. She said it was Vandarack’s plan to provoke a “suicide by cop” situation.

More money OK’d for crisis in Flint LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Legislature voted Thursday to direct another $28 million to address Flint’s water emergency, allocating money for bottled water, medical assessments and other costs in the city struggling with a lead-contaminated supply.

The funding received quick and unanimous approval just over a week after it was proposed by Gov. Rick Snyder. The bill now heads to the governor’s desk.

“We obviously have a number of issues that we have to deal with, whether it’s infrastructure, whether it’s folks having to pay for water that obviously is undrinkable,” said Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich, D-Flint. “But the most important I think right now ... is to start the focus on the assessment and the providing of services and this appropriation starts us on the path to do that.”

It is the second round of funding enacted since the crisis was confirmed in the fall.

The money will pay for developmental assessments of children age 3 and younger, additional school nurses, lead and blood testing,

plumbing fixture replacements and other costs. The largest allotment — $4.6 million — is for bottled water, filters and replacement cartridges being distributed to residents in the city of nearly 100,000 people.

Lawmakers said they were able to shift about $3.4 million to other priorities because of charitable donations and the ability to buy water at discounted rates after a federal emergency declaration was issued.

Snyder has promised to propose more funding for Flint in his upcoming budget proposal.

Flint’s water became contaminated when the financially struggling city switched from the Detroit municipal system and began drawing from the Flint River in April 2014 to save money. State officials were in charge of the city at the time.

Panel: Ban battery shipments by plane WASHINGTON — A U.N. panel has recommended that cargo shipments of rechargeable lithium batteries be banned from passenger airliners because the batteries can create fires capable of destroying planes, said aviation officials familiar with the decision.

The International Civilian Aviation Organization’s air navigation commission, the agency’s highest technical body, also proposed in a closed-door meeting Wednesday that the ban be lifted if new packaging can be developed that provides an acceptable level of safety.

Final approval from the ICAO top-level council is still needed. The council is scheduled to take up the matter in late February.

The officials spoke on condition that they not be named because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.

Lithium-ion batteries are used to power everything from cellphones and laptops to hybrid and all-electric cars. About 5.4 billion lithium-ion cells were manufactured worldwide in 2014. A battery is made up of two or more cells. A majority are transported on cargo ships, but about 30 percent are shipped by air.

Uninsured waiting as deadline looms WASHINGTON — A new poll finds most uninsured Americans sitting on the sidelines as sign-up season under President Barack Obama’s health care law comes to a close.

Thursday’s survey from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation finds that: — Only 15 percent of the uninsured know that this year’s open enrollment deadline is this coming Sunday.

— More than 7 in 10 haven’t tried to figure out if they qualify for the two main coverage expansions in the law, Medicaid and subsidized private insurance.

— Only 1 in 100 know the minimum penalty for being uninsured is going up to $695.

— About two-thirds say they have not been contacted about signing up.

The health care law has led to historic gains in coverage, but the poll signals those gains may be slowing.

Across the State Associated Press

Hood seeks more wiretap authority JACKSON — Fourthterm Attorney General Jim Hood says he’s asking Mississippi lawmakers to give his office the power to do wiretaps to investigate human trafficking and white-collar crime.

The wiretap authority is one of several requests the Democrat is making this year to the Republican-controlled Legislature.

Hood said Wednesday that during last year’s campaign, his Republican opponent frequently criticized him for not prosecuting high-profile public corruption cases.

Hood said because his office can only do wiretaps for drug cases, many corruption investigations have been led by federal authorities.

“The way you make a white-collar crime case is either you’ve got an insider or you’ve got a wiretap,” Hood said.

“That’s what you’ve got to have.”

He said prosecuting public corruption cases can still be difficult in state court because the jury is drawn from local people who might know the person on trial.

“We will continue, even if we’ve got wiretap authority, to work with federal authorities in cases where we think we might have a problem with the jury,” Hood said.

Woman seeks to buy triage kits for police HATTIESBURG — After learning that two out of three law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty die from blood loss, a Marion County woman has set out to raise money to buy triage kits for local law enforcement.

Lois Holmes first raised money for Project Triage trauma kits for officers with the Columbia Police Department and Marion County Sheriff’s Department, according to the Hattiesburg American. Since then, Holmes has been able to give kits to Prentiss, Sumrall, Lumberton and Purvis officers.

“Through the generosity of churches, businesses and friends, I’ve been able to provide these kits,” she said.

Now Holmes has her sights set on Hattiesburg. She approached Hattiesburg Police Chief Anthony Parker and spokesman Lt. Jon Traxler about her desire to get the kits to every officer — human and K-9 — in the department.

Parker and Traxler

agreed that the kits would be helpful to officers, but the funds for the kits are not in the department’s budget. Each kit costs $50, and K-9 kits are $100. Holmes said the department requested 125 officer kits and three K-9 kits. “(Providing the kits) would show the police officers the care and concern the community has,” Traxler said Holmes is raising money in the Hattiesburg area to procure kits for every Hattiesburg PD officer and K-9.

Plans for casino no sure bet for Gulfport GULFPORT — The latest casino plan for the Biloxi’s harbor is far from a done deal.

The Sun Herald reports the developers -- Virginia attorney Robert Lubin and Kentucky casinocompany owner Kevin Preston -- still have to raise the money to build the casino.

Lubin and Preston also must satisfy Mississippi Gaming Commission demands that any casino built in the state must have 300 hotel rooms with a three-diamond or higher rating; at least a 50,000-square-foot casino floor; a finedining restaurant; and a non-gambling amenity meant to grow the casino market. Lubin and Preston say they can build a casino resort on about 10 acres in the harbor for $140 million. “Based on our experience,” Lubin said in an email, “we believe it is realistic.”

But the only casino built under current Gaming Commission requirements, the Scarlet Pearl in D’Iberville, cost $290 million. It has the minimum 300 hotel rooms, no parking garage, and a miniature golf course with a volcano as its amenity.

The Gulfport Harbor casino, Lubin said, would have a parking garage, four-star hotel,

a 50,000-square-foot casino, entertainment venue and a non-gaming amenity as yet to be determined.

Omega settles with injured employees GULFPORT — Omega Protein has settled another lawsuit.

The lawsuit involves two workers injured in 2014, when one of the fish processing plant’s vessels struck a vessel the men were working on in Moss Point.

The Sun Herald reports the lawsuit was first filed for Michael Clarence Merrill, who claimed he suffered permanent disabling injuries Jan. 20, 2014.

He sought a jury trial and damages in excess of $75,000.

Co-worker Robert John Hobdy was later allowed to join the lawsuit with claims for his injuries.

The business has faced several wrongful death lawsuits in recent years and been cited with safety violations and fined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

A federal judge issued a final judgment Tuesday.

Details of the settlements were not released.

Chickasaw County gets storm shelters HOUSTON — The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved building nine community storm shelters in Chickasaw County.

WCBI-TV reports FEMA has approved $50,000 for the project.

The shelters will be located at fire departments in the county that is currently without a storm shelter.

Each shelter will be able to hold up to 40 people, and cost $7,000 each. FEMA will reimburse 75 percent of the cost once the shelters are installed.

Oil plunge pinching banks

The stunning plunge in oil prices recently has been a blessing for consumers, but it has wreaked havoc on global stock markets. U.S. banks have been hit especially hard.

Tumbling oil prices have sliced profits of p energy companies. Big Wall Street banks have made loans to o companies to finance oil production on in Texas, North Dakota and elsewhere. ere. As cash flow from oil sales trickles, es, some companies are straining to o repay their loans.

Fallout has come e fast. Bank of America said last week it boosted by $264 million illion the money it sets aside for possible loan losses in the October-December quarter. The

decision was driven by expectations that a growing number of energy sector borrowers won’t be able to repay their loans. JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo earlier reported similar moves. p Smaller banks that cater to energy companies compan are also feeling the pain.

The big banks point out that energy loans account for just a small percentage of their portfolios. p At Bank of America, for example, it’s about 2 Ame percent. But the oil-price decline has stung. stung Bank stocks have lost on average around 15 percent av since the start of the year, compared with about 9 percent for the broader p market. ma

Wall Street anticipates that the oil company’s earnings and revenue fell sharply in the fourth quarter from a year earlier. The forecast echoes Chevron’s performance in the previous three quarters.

Like other energy companies, Chevron has been battered by the steep decline in oil prices that began in late 2014. The situation has forced Chevron to cut thousands of jobs in a bid to slash costs and boost profits.

Modern Modern Family Family Parents Harvey Gold Rush - The Dirt “Episode 10” Criminal Minds “Restoration” College Basketball

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Get ready for the big game with the Daily Corinthian’s special section celebrating 50 years of the Super Bowl coming this Sunday.

Dad resists coming clean about his youthful nose job D E A R ABBY: I’m a male in my early 50s.

As a shy 21-year-old, I had minor surgery to Abigail straighten a (but at Van Buren small the time, to me, ginorDear Abby mous) hump on my nose.

I didn’t tell many people and it boosted my confidence, and although I can’t say I regret it, looking back I don’t think it was really needed. I met my wife a few years later and didn’t think it was important enough to mention, which doesn’t bother me.

What does bother me is my daughter, 23 and happily married, is complaining about the small hump on her nose and seriously contemplating surgery to fix it. She says she’s the only one in the family with such a nose. Her husband and my wife, neither one of whom are fans of minor cosmetic surgery, are urging her to not do it. I have kept my mouth shut so far.

I hate bringing something up I’ve kept from my wife all these years, yet I have this nagging feeling I’m betraying my daugh-

ter by not telling her she has the nose I was born with.

I also worry that she’ll find out and feel betrayed if I say nothing.

Am I obligated to tell her?

Am I a jerk if I don’t?

Does she have a right to know about her father’s true nose? -INDECISIVE DAD IN THE USA DEAR INDECISIVE: You are behaving as though a rhinoplasty is something to be ashamed of. It’s not! Speak up and tell your wife your daughter inherited your nose and that fixing yours gave you self-confidence.

Then be honest with your daughter. She’s an adult. What she chooses to do with the nose on her face should be her decision and no one else’s because no one else will be wearing it.

DEAR ABBY: A year ago, my boyfriend of two years and I broke up. We had never had an argument. Then one night we did, and we both said things we shouldn’t have.

Since that day, he hasn’t spoken to me again. He has ignored all my phone calls and my attempts to work things out.

I have tried to move on, but I can’t seem to. I have been devastated ever since because I truly loved him.

I recently started seeing a guy I like, but when it comes down to it, I can’t let go of my ex-boyfriend. I am paralyzed by my emotions.

Mostly I feel betrayed.

He has destroyed every perception I had about relationships, like being there for each other through the good and bad.

How can I help myself heal?

-- MOTIONLESS IN GEORGIA DEAR MOTIONLESS: Not all romances are meant to lead to marriage. Intelligent adults don’t necessarily agree on everything, but they should be mature enough to discuss their differences without resorting to vitriol. If your ex-boyfriend’s reaction to a disagreement was to run for the hills, better that you learned it after two years rather than, say, five.

I subscribe to the philosophy that our relationships -- whether successful or failed -- teach us important lessons about life.

Sometimes we must accept life as it is rather than our fantasy of what we would like it to be.

Because you haven’t been able to progress beyond the romance you had with your ex, you will save yourself additional pain and wasted time if you discuss it with a licensed mental health professional.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Follow sensible advice wherever it comes from, and it just might come from some very unexpected places. Hint: The ones with the most intelligence aren’t always the ones with the most sense.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Resist the impulse to read too much into the circumstances.

Face value will be the best one for most things. Use whatever comes your way as a resource.

You’re very creative now, so this won’t be a problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s about the meaning, not the money. So when you find the financial implications upsetting, back it up some. Try to figure out what’s really bothering you.

It has nothing to do with a dollar amount.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your network has more value than you are currently utilizing, which is how it should be.

Would it surprise you to know that someone else is using your name as a kind of magic key?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When

they hear certain words, your name is the first to come to mind. Do you know what this is regarding? Do you have an accurate understanding of people’s associations regarding you? This will be the topic of the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

So, you are slightly underequipped for the task at hand.

That’s what they call “cute,” and as long as you’re not overly aware of it, you’ll win in this category today, whether you like it or not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Share that vision your mind is spinning into the ether. It’s beautiful. The dreams are unreasonable. Foolish perhaps.

But at least they are your dreams. That’s what the others will love most about them!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You have wisdom to impart to your loved ones, and they will see you as a respected leader.

In the next three weeks you’ll receive news that favorably affects your family. June is your chance to use your talent and

shine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s easy to let the healthy routine slip away from you, if ever it was there in the first place. Good news: You can get it back. This is the perfect day to set up a habit you’ll be proud to keep.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re easily amused, and that’s a good thing. Curiosity is a sign of intelligence. Your loved ones, colleagues and a few perfect strangers will be honored by your interest in them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re comfortable with who you are. This is why others have an easy time being with you, too. Afternoon features a perfect compromise. It all begins with your fresh willingness to get along.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Context is power. People will struggle to place a context around you, so help them out with this (especially when meeting someone for the first time).

Decide what you want them to know about you and serve it up.

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The regular season is slowing winding down, with tonight’s action the third to last Friday.

Biggersville, Corinth and Kossuth will take to the floor tonight. Alcorn Central isn’t scheduled to play again until next Friday, although the Lady Bears and Bears still have to make up a contest with Kossuth.

Two of the three contests are league affairs, with Biggersville hosting Thrasher in Division 1-1A and Kossuth traveling to New Site for a

1-3A twinbill.

Corinth will make the short trek to Booneville for a nondivision encounter.

The Lady Warriors and Warriors will wrap up Division 1-4A play Tuesday against Shannon.

• The Lady Lions will look to remain unbeaten in league play against Division 1-1A doormat Thrasher. BHS (136, 7-0) needed overtime to dispatch of Wheeler the last time out.

The Lions can get back to the breakeven mark and maintain their lead atop the six-team division. Both BHS

(9-10) and Jumpertown boast 6-1 league marks, with the Lions holding the tiebreaker.

• The Warriors will be out to extend their winning streak to an even 20 games. Corinth (20-1) has won all four meetings since the Blue Devils (125) knocked off the Warriors in the 2011 Class 3A championship game.

The Lady Warriors come into play at 11-8 after knocking off division leader Itawamba on the road. Corinth handed the Class 3A runners-up (151) one of its three losses last season -- a 53-37 decision three days before Christmas.

• The Kossuth boys (12-9, 1-1) will be looking to remain in line for one of the league’s three byes -- and a berth in the North Half -- after falling in overtime to current league leader Booneville on Tuesday.

New Site -- 15-8, 1-1 following a 55-19 thumping of Belmont on Thursday -- dropped its league opener 63-62 at Alcorn Central on Tuesday.

The Lady Aggies (10-11, 0-2) will have their work cut out for them in an attempt to garner their first league win.

The Lady Royals come in 204, 2-0 after edging Belmont 49-47 on Thursday.

Agency joins in Manning HGH probe The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is helping in the investigation of Peyton Manning’s alleged link to a clinic that deals in human growth hormone.

Earlier this week, the NFL said it was conducting a comprehensive review into the case.

Asked about the case, USADA CEO Travis Tygart told The Associated Press he could not comment on it specifically because his agency, best known for overseeing U.S. Olympic sports, is assisting the NFL. Al Jazeera reported last month that an intern at an Indianapolis anti-aging clinic was secretly recorded suggesting Manning’s wife received deliveries of HGH, which is banned by the league, while Manning was recovering from neck surgeries.

The intern, Charles Sly, later recanted his story.

On Thursday, Manning said he welcomed the review. He said the report was, quote, “garbage from the first day it came out, and it’s still garbage today.”

Shorts Youth Soccer The Corinth Alcorn County Parks and Recreation Department is holding registration for boys and girls soccer ages 3-19 until Friday. Play will run from Feb. 22 to April 1.

For more information, call the park office at 286-3067.

Referee Clinic The Corinth/Alcorn County Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a Certification Clinic for soccer referees -- males and females age 12 and up -- on Saturday, Feb. 6 from 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. at the Park office.

Ole Miss snaps 4-game skid, tops Auburn The Associated Press

OXFORD — Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy is a pop culture fan, especially when it comes to comparisons of comic book superheroes and point guards.

“We got our Batman back.

Everybody wants to be Batman, but Stefan Moody is Batman for us,” said Kennedy, after Moody scored 24

points, 22 in the second half, as the Rebels snapped a fourgame losing streak with an 80-63 win over Auburn on Wednesday.

Moody returned to the lineup after missing one full game and part of another with a hamstring injury. Despite limited mobility and an occasional grimace of pain, Moody ignited the decisive

second half rally for the Rebels (13-7, 3-5 Southeastern Conference).

“I am so proud of his effort and he is so important to us in a big, big way,” Kennedy said. “He was tight early but once he hits a couple of shots, he feels better about life and we’re a much different team when he is out there.”

Moody connected on three

consecutive 3-point shots within a two-minute stretch to highlight a 19-4 second half run. The surge built an insurmountable 57-41 cushion with 12:22 left. The Rebels led by as many as 20 points and were never threatened again.

SEC seeking respect for match up against Big 12 The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — This weekend’s Big 12/SEC Challenge offers a midseason opportunity for both leagues: The Southeastern Conference has a chance to improve its national perception, while the Big 12 seeks to solidify its status as the nation’s top basketball conference.

“We’ll see if stepping outside the league and playing some really good teams from

a really great league can help us in our standing for pursuit of NCAA Tournament berths,” Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said.

Saturday’s schedule includes Vanderbilt at Texas, No. 9 West Virginia at Florida, No. 14 Iowa State at No. 5 Texas A&M, Ole Miss at Kansas State, Tennessee at TCU, Texas Tech at Arkansas, No. 1 Oklahoma at LSU, Georgia at No. 17 Baylor, No. 20 Ken-

tucky at No. 4 Kansas and Oklahoma State at Auburn.

The SEC enters the weekend with much to prove.

Although Kentucky added the nation’s top recruiting class and LSU has the likely No. 1 overall draft pick in freshman Ben Simmons, the SEC could have a tough time matching last season’s total of five NCAA Tournament bids.

SEC teams have a combined 13-29 record against other

Power 5 schools this season (4-5 against the Big 12, 8-11 against the Atlantic Coast Conference, 0-7 against the Big Ten and 1-6 against the Pac-12). The SEC’s only Top 25 teams are Texas A&M and Kentucky, which was ranked No. 1 early in the season. Only four of the SEC’s 14 members are in the top 50 of the RPI: Texas A&M (13th), Kentucky Please see SEC | 11A

the Rebels, rallying from a 30-29 halftime deficit.

The Rebels were 28 of 62 (45 percent) from the field, including 19 of 34 (56 percent) in the second half.

“Hymon was outstanding. We had the statistical edge in the categories that are really important to us - rebounding and forcing turnovers,” Kennedy said.

“A lot of good things from a lot of guys tonight.”

TJ Lang scored a career-high 19 points for Auburn (9-10, 3-5). Tyler Harris added 16 for the Tigers, who finished 20 of 54 (37 percent) from the field. Auburn led 30-29 at halftime.

“It was great to see TJ Lang play with confidence and that’s a positive,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. “But it was obviously a tale of two halves. Andy made great adjustments, Moody played at his tempo, rebounding was a huge factor and in the second half, they destroyed us.”

Ole Miss out rebounded the Tigers 40-33, highlighted by a 28-10 edge by the reserves. and forced 13 turnovers.

The Rebels turned the ball over twice in the second half, as Moody handed out five assists.

Injury woes Ole Miss was 12-3 before injuries sidelined starters Moody, Sebastian Saiz and Martavious Newby.

The Rebels were 0-4 without the trio on a full time basis. Saiz, who averages 12.8 points and

9.8 rebounds per game, remains inactive while recovering from eye surgery. Moody and Newby returned to play 31 minutes, apiece. “Saiz won’t be available this weekend and will be evaluated by his surgeon next week,” Kennedy said.

“We won’t know anything until then. We want him fully recovered.”

Auburn has had six different players, including three guards, miss 48 games this season.

The Tigers have used eight different starting lineups in 19 games.

“We’ve been playing seven guys because of these injuries,” Pearl said. “Injuries have really affected what we do and I’m concerned that we’re not getting better.”

Tip-ins Ole Miss: The Rebels have won 10 of the last 12 against Auburn. ... Moody extended his string of 20-plus points to 14 games. ... Hymon added two blocked shots.

Auburn: The Tigers are 0-4 on the road in the SEC. ...Kareem Canty, ranked fourth in scoring in the SEC at 18.9 points per game, struggled to score 8 points on 3 of 14 shooting. Canty compensated with a solid floor game with eight rebounds and nine assists. ..Lang was 5 of 7 (71 percent) from 3-point range.

Big12/Sec Challenge Ole Miss visits Kansas State Saturday.

Auburn hosts Oklahoma State Saturday.

SEC CONTINUED FROM 10A

(18th), South Carolina (26th) and Florida (28th).

In the Big 12, half of the league’s 10 teams are ranked 17th or higher: Oklahoma, Kansas, West Virginia, Iowa State and Baylor. Seven Big 12 members are in the top 50 of the RPI: Oklahoma (1st), Kansas (6th), Iowa State (8th), West Virginia (16th), Texas (21st), Baylor (23rd) and Texas Tech (37th).

“I think it’s maturity,” Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith said of his league’s strength. The Big 12 has “a lot of returning players. Talented returning players on most teams.

Excellent coaches from top to bottom. Great coaches in this league.

Those are the main ingredients. And then the depth that we have in the Big 12.” CBS Sports analyst Doug Gottlieb said a negative perception surrounds the SEC mainly because Kentucky hasn’t lived up to its preseason billing, though he also noted Vanderbilt has been “alarmingly disappointing.”

“There’s been a group of disappointing teams that have made a narrative of, ‘Hey, the SEC is down,” Gottlieb said. Saturday’s schedule creates major opportunities for SEC programs such as Florida, LSU and Vanderbilt to improve their NCAA Tournament credentials.

Gottlieb called Florida a “pleasant surprise” and said Simmons’ presence makes LSU a dangerous postseason team if it gets an NCAA bid.

Florida coach Mike White acknowledges he pays close attention to the RPI and other facts and figures that can determine where his team stands. “I’m obsessed with all those numbers,” White said. “I’m not going to lie. We look at numbers and maybe look at other teams and how they’re doing things. There’s so much information out there.

We’ve done a lot of good things. We’ve had opportunities. Some we’ve taken advantage of; some we haven’t. We have plenty more opportunities in front of us. I don’t talk to our team about it, though.”

STARKVILLE — No. 13 Mississippi State overcame a 12-point thirdquarter deficit to knock off No. 13 Tennessee for the first time in school history 65-63 in overtime Thursday night.

Dominique Dillingham and Victoria Vivians scored 14 points each for the Bulldogs (18-4, 5-3), who overcame just 3-for16 shooting from 3-point range. Tennessee (128, 3-4 SEC) had double digits from three players

with Jordan Reynolds leading the way with 15 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

A dominating third quarter that saw UT outscore the Bulldogs 22-10 wasn’t enough.

MSU returned the favor with a 15-3 fourth quarter to even things up at 58-58 and send the game to the extra period.

MSU won when Tennessee guard Te’a Cooper missed a contested layup at the end of overtime.

Missouri dismisses QB Maty Mauk The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri dismissed quarterback Maty Mauk from the football program Thursday after a series of missteps that included three suspensions over the past four months.

New coach Barry Odom said he met with Mauk in December and gave him a fresh start. But Missouri suspended Mauk again this week after a brief video was posted to Twitter.

It shows a person appearing to snort a white, powder-like substance and the tweet mentions Mauk by name.

Odom said Thursday he believed the video was from “a long time ago,” but it was clear Mauk had

violated team rules in recent weeks and that was the reason for the dismissal. The decision to kick Mauk off the team came three days after the video was posted.

“I also made it very clear what our expectations would be moving forward,” Odom said of their December meeting. “After gathering information and speaking with a number of individuals this week, it is clear Maty has failed to live up to those expectations.”

Odom said the school would offer to help Mauk get his life and academic career straightened out.

“Our hope is that he will grow from this and we wish him the very best

in his future endeavors,” Odom said.

Mauk, a junior, was suspended on Nov. 1 following an incident at a downtown bar not long after returning from a suspension on Sept. 29 for an undisclosed violation of team policy.

The move, coupled with the decision of backup Eddie Printz to transfer, leaves little doubt Drew Lock will be the starter next year.

Lock was thrust into the job as a freshman last season after Mauk’s stumbles, and the Tigers offense was among the worst in the country, scoring in single digits in five of the last seven games.

The decision increases

the degree of difficulty for Odom, a first-time Division I head coach who was promoted from defensive coordinator in November following Gary Pinkel’s decision to retire while dealing with cancer.

The program has been busy putting the finishing touches on recruiting for national signing day, which is next Wednesday.

Pinkel resigned with one game to go, leaving as the school’s winningest coach.

But Missouri was 5-7 last year, a major drop-off after winning consecutive SEC East titles.

Mauk was 17-5 as the starter. In 2014 he was sixth in the SEC in total offense while throwing for 25 touchdowns.

Las Vegas Sands wants stadium for Raiders Associated Press

MSU women edge out Tennessee for first time

Friday, January 29, 2016

The billionaire owner of the Las Vegas Sands casino company wants to help build a domed stadium on the UNLV campus and is meeting with the owner of the Oakland Raiders, company officials said Thursday.

Sands spokesman Ron Reese said the casino company envisions a public-private partnership to build a $1 billion, 65,000seat stadium that could be shared by a professional team and UNLV. The Sands would likely partner with other investors and might seek to draw on public revenue sources, such as hotel room tax revenue earmarked for promoting tourism.

The Raiders have no lease for a stadium for next season after NFL owners earlier this month shot down their plans to move to the Los Angeles area. The team is negotiating a short-term extension with officials in Oakland and Alameda County but is also looking for a permanent new home to replace the outdated Coliseum.

Sands owner Sheldon Adelson has scheduled a Friday meeting with Raiders owner Mark Davis. Reese didn’t elaborate on the nature of their discussions and the Raiders declined comment.

Adelson’s company includes the Venetian and Palazzo hotel-casinos on the Las Vegas Strip as well

as casinos in Macau, Singapore and Pennsylvania.

The governor’s tourism infrastructure committee is looking for ideas to attract more visitors and “nothing will move that needle like a new worldclass stadium,” Reese said in a statement about the development, which was first reported by Nevada political journalist Jon Ralston.

Oakland is trying to arrange a plan to build a new stadium at the Coliseum site but the city has no firm plans or funding in place, even with an additional $100 million pledge from the NFL after the owners’ vote earlier this month.

The Raiders have an option to move to Inglewood with the Rams at their

new stadium if the Chargers decide to stay in San Diego.

Davis also has looked at San Antonio and could look into moving to San Diego if the Chargers leave and he can negotiate a new stadium deal with officials there.

Las Vegas has been overlooked by professional sports franchises because it is home to legalized sports betting. But Reese said Las Vegas now draws more revenue from non-gambling entertainment than betting and fears of match-fixing are outdated.

“This town is about so much more than gaming at this point,” Reese said.

“We think that stigma is a thing of the past.”

Tennessee test measures preparation for success Get ready for new state tests in English and math, Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but without that anxiety that may traditionally accompany the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;test.â&#x20AC;? Beginning in fall 2015 for high Stacy s c h o o l s the Jones on 90-minute seThe block Dowtowner mester-bysemester block schedule and spring 2016 for other schools who follow more traditional year-long formats.

After the implementation of new state standards in Tennessee, intended to be consistent with standards across the U.S., it is crucial to have a state assessment that appropriately matches those standards. Tennessee is working harder than ever to make sure that the new test is rigorous but aligned with college and

career standards intended to prepare students for post-secondary success.

Why are good tests so important? As Richard D. Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Research finds that how well one performs on cognitive tests matters more to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life chances than ever before. Mastery of reading and math, in particular, are significant because they provide the gateway to higher learning and critical thinking.â&#x20AC;?

Studies show that high school students are not challenged enough when it comes to preparation for material they will encounter after leaving the high school classroom.

On one hand, the reading level of college textbooks has not decreased since 1962, according to researcher A.J. Stenner.

However, data put forth in 2004 by researcher G.L. Williamson indicate that a three grade level-

gap between end of high school and college texts, equivalent to the gap between 4th grade and 8th grade reading levels.

Furthermore, over time, according to research, high schools promote less independence and accountability in reading, when contrasted with college classes. It prompts one to speculate about the correlation between lack of rigor in high school and the fact that in 2004, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), 20 percent of college students required remedial courses.

How, then, does TNReady, the new state assessment that replaces the former Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP), make a difference for students?

TNReady goes beyond the old multiple choice format of TCAP, requiring students to explain some answers in writing, so that they may better demon-

strate what they know and are able to do, extending from their classroom instruction. Therefore, the new assessment offers the ability to convey to teachers and parents the progress students have made when it comes to realworld skills, as opposed to rote memorization or testtaking strategies.

Those practical skills are more important to Tennessee graduates than ever. Nearly two-thirds of jobs in Tennessee are expected to require education past high school by the end of the decade.

This post-secondary education may include college, technical training, or military service. In order to attain this required education, students desperately need the well-developed reading, communication, computation, and critical thinking skills afforded by effective high school classroom instruction, guided by rigorous new state standards and

measured by a new assessment that truly shows their progress, as TNReady is intended to do.

High quality teaching will be important in order to create instruction that matches a more rigorous set of standards and testing, but parental and community support is necessary as well. Parents, in particular, will be important in the transition, as they need to communicate with teachers and with students regarding their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths and weaknesses. It will be helpful, too, for parents to visit the TNReady website to practice with sample questions and digital tools, as the new current assessments in English and math are being administered online.

As a high school and college English instructor who desires success for students, I also vow to do what I can to ensure achievement.

Through more rigorous instruction,

I will require students to be more self-directed in their inquiry and to extend critical thinking and communication skills.

In the past, I have encountered students who did not seem to be challenged to transcend low levels of achievement. I have had students enrolled in junior or seniorlevel high school classes who, for instance, could not read the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;readingâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;money.â&#x20AC;? If we want truly to make students globally competitive in a rapidly-advancing 21st century, we must push them harder than ever toward progress.

TNReady is one step in the evolution toward that movement in Tennessee.

Positive actions can transform negative circumstances You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop darkness. It can only be displaced with light. In the same fashion, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop thinking negatively; you have to replace Bryan n e g a t i v e Golden t h o u g h t s with posiDare to Live tive ones.

Without Limits You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop feeling sad, you have to start being happy instead.

A common approach to improving life is trying to eliminate as many undesirable aspects as possible. This strategy is as ineffective as attempting to stop thinking about a red and yellow striped elephant. In as much as

a positive thought is required to displace a negative one, an undesirable facet is superseded by engaging in positive behavior.

Just as light vanquishes darkness, improvements to your life are made by replacing that which you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want with that which you do. However, before engaging in this process, you have to know what you want and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at some examples. Jim wants to get in better physical shape.

He is not pleased with his diet. He feels it consists of too much fast food. Jim also knows he spends too much of his discretionary time sitting around.

How does Jim improve his diet? He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just stop eating. Jim has to

eat something. So Jim needs to find a healthier alternative to replace the fast food. Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to change his diet into something healthier.

How does Jim get into better physical shape? It is not possible for Jim to stop spending so much time in sedentary pursuits without doing something else. He must replace sitting with a different type of behavior. So next time Jim would normally be spending an hour on the couch, he can go for a walk instead.

Sara wants to be happier. She feels too much of her time is spent being blah or sad. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible for Sara to stop feeling sad. She needs to displace her sad feelings by engaging in activities, thoughts,

and pursuits which make her happy.

However, Sara must first be able to specifically identify exactly what makes her happy. In order to do this, she must have a solid understanding of herself including her strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes.

Hank knows he is drifting through life without any direction. He really wants to do something about this. The only way Frank can put an end to his drifting is by identifying goals and then taking action to accomplish them. Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aimlessness will stop once it is displaced by definiteness of purpose.

Carol is frustrated with her job. She is constantly bored with little to chal-

lenge her. Carol doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being frustrated but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to stop feeling that way. Furthermore, she is even frustrated about being frustrated.

Just as is the case with Hank, Sara, and Jim, Carol must find things to do which are engaging. Activities she finds challenging will displace the frustration Carol is experiencing. Carol can either explore options that meet her needs within her current job or she can find a new, more rewarding position.

Just as light is required to vanquish darkness, you make changes in your life by replacing what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want with something you desire. This principle applies to all aspects of your life including behavior, thoughts,

habits, and goals.

Proactivity on your part is needed to change things for the better.

Waiting and hoping is a passive approach that all too often results only in continued disappointment. Believe in yourself along with your ability to do whatever it takes to get the results you want.

Start today determining what light you need to vanquish your darkness.

Women, youngsters dominate in rock field at Grammy Awards

BY MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For years, men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and legacy acts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have dominated in the rock category at the Grammy Awards, leaving little room for female

stars who rock as loud and hard as the guys and young bands hoping to breakthrough on the music scene.

But at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grammys, there is a shift with women and budding acts

dominating in the rock field, thanks to the Brittany Howard-led Alabama Shakes and Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with four nominations each â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to promising performers such as James Bay and Highly Suspect, both up for best rock album and rock song.

Elle King, the 26-yearold carefree, raspy-voiced newcomer, earned nominations for best rock song and rock performance for the platinum single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Ohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? which topped the Billboard rock and alternative charts last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been space for people to make different music thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so pop-driven ... thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we went with alternative because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I was another Katy Perry of this world,â&#x20AC;? King said

in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But to be in the rock category at the Grammys, for me and my heart, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;(Expletive) yes, that is so rad!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That made me extremely happy.â&#x20AC;?

Alabama Shakesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nominations include album of the year and best alternative music album for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sound & Colorâ&#x20AC;? as well as rock performance and rock song for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Wanna Fight.â&#x20AC;? Florence + the Machine are also up for the latter two rock honors with the single â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Kind of Man,â&#x20AC;? along with best pop vocal album for â&#x20AC;&#x153;How Big, How Blue, How Beautifulâ&#x20AC;? and pop duo/group performance for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ship to Wreck.â&#x20AC;?

The Grammys, which are being held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 15, could bring the often-praised

Howard, 27, and Welch, 29, their first gramophones after earning multiple nominations in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like women have always written incredible songs, but I feel like right now whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so rad is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all taking back the conversation and supporting each other and holding each other up,â&#x20AC;? said Hayley Williams, the 27-year-old frontwoman of Paramore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking notice of each other earlier on in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s careers.â&#x20AC;?

Paramore won its first Grammy last year for best rock song with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t It Fun,â&#x20AC;? the anthemic groove that gave the band its first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

A year before that, Imagine Dragons took home best rock performance

for their breakthrough track, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Radioactiveâ&#x20AC;?; Halestorm, with frontwoman Lzzy Hale, won best hard rock/metal performance in 2013.

Also in recent years, seasoned acts like Foo Fighters, Black Keys, Jack White and Beck have won rock Grammys, though the awards have usually been reserved for veterans in the vein of U2, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. And in the past women have had an even tougher road than the young acts: Before Paramoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win, Alanis Morissette was the last woman to win best rock song in 1999. It was the same year Sheryl Crow won best rock album; a woman hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won the honor since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back in the mix as far as the Grammys goes, in a larger way because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undeniable that women rock,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Freimuth, the Recording Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president of awards.

This year, nominees for best rock performance include four women, or female-led acts, with King, Alabama Shakes, Florence + the Machine and Wolf Alice, whose lead vocalist is 23-year-old Ellie Rowsell. The fifth nominee is the Foo Fighters.

The best rock song nominees are made up exclusively of women and new acts with King, Alabama Shakes, Florence + the Machine, Bay â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the acclaimed 25-year-old British singer-guitarist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Highly Suspect, the trio made up of 30-yearold twins Ryan and Rich Meyer and Johnny Stevens, 29.

What is true love and commitment in marriages?

For those of us that have been married for many years understand what true love and commitment means.

My wife and I have stood by Gary each other all type Andrews in situations, whether Devotionals bad or good. The Lord has truly blessed our marriage as He has many others.

When we took our wedding vows we said them with all sincerity of keeping and believing in them.

Suggested daily Bible readings: Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ruth 1:1517; Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ephesians 5:1-2; Tuesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Genesis 22:1-14; Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2 Corinthians 2:12-17; Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Joshua 24:14-15; Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mark 1:16-20; Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Isaiah 6:8.

With the divorce rate of nearly 50 percent most marriages of today are not consummated with the belief of longevity, even if this is what is intended to be.

So many outside variables and interest tear apart good marriages because the commitment level is not there on one or both partners.

This is often true in our business dealings also where we have failed to honor commitments we gave our word on.

Looking in the Old Testament book of Ruth we find a commitment that goes above and beyond of what is expected. Ruth follows her mother-in-law, Naomi, to her home land and cares for her in her later years.

Ruthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Naomiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husbands have died and when times are tough on

these women they return to Naomiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeland to find a better life. Naomi, being a godly woman, tries to get Ruth to stay behind with her own family, in her homeland of Moab, instead of going with her.

Through her love and commitment to her daughter-in-law, she felt she would have a better life if she stayed with her people instead of going with her.

Ruth was committed through her love for Naomi to go with her and care for her.

The Lord was also in this relationship since Naomi trusted in the Lord and Ruth was raised with pa-

gan gods. The Lord was able to use Ruth in a tough situation that went good.

Many of us bail out on situations that seem beyond repair. All of us need to realize that nothing is beyond repair with the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help.

He will answer our prayers and help us find solutions to our problems if we will talk to Him and lean on His guidance and His word.

If we have the Lord on our side then all of our commitments will be honored and treasured.

Just as my wife and I said our â&#x20AC;&#x153;I doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? over 40 years ago, the Lord has tre-

mendously blessed us.

The first thing we did after our ceremony was to get on our knees and ask Him to be Lord of our marriage and household.

He has never failed us.

When you the know the Lord, you know true love and commitment.

Prayer: Thank you again Lord for my wife of many years and for the blessings you have provided for us. I pray that anything I say or do will be with your guidance. Amen.

Mothers are truly special, amazing people to treasure, enjoy Why do kids expect mothers to be such exceptional people?

Maybe we are taught that by the way mothers react to meet Lora Ann needs or Huff rd ae mp aagier, but for Back Porch some reason, we think they should be able to manage any problems.

After all, who is the best at bandaging skinned knees and wiping away tears?

My mother has been on my mind a lot lately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wished we could have a long talk over a chunk of her moist chocolate cake.

One special thing about my mother is that she had a knack for fixing things.

If something was bro-

ken, she could usually fix it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; anything from electrical outlets to household furnishings. If she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix it, she would find out why.

She was handy with a hammer, handsaw, screw driver and glue.

She loved her little trinkets and what-notâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and if one got broken, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in throwing it away.

Each one had a special meaning or came from a special person so she would pull out the glue and go to work. For an item to be trashed, it had to be in splinters and or of no sentimental value!

After Mama passed away and we were going through some of her treasures, we found that more of them had a glue line than we had realized before.

Raising four boys and me and then having a house full of grandchildren made it easy for

something to get broken.

She might not be happy about it, but she knew she could probably put it back together.

One treasure I have today that Mama worked her magic on is a figurine that stands on a shelf in my living room. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special for two reasons. First of all, it was given to me by a best friend. She gave me the musical Southern Belle for being maid of honor in her wedding.

Secondly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reminder of my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love.

Not long after my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding, I accidentally knocked the doll off my dresser and it crashed into several pieces. Talk about crying!

I may have been grown but I cried like a baby.

This little keepsake for life was in pieces at my feet - the bonnet-topped head here, an arm there, the base broken and separated from the scalloped skirt.

Mama said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, Lora Ann, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get so upset.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll glue it back together.

I can fix it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surely kidding,â&#x20AC;?

I thought to myself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She knows she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put that back like it was.â&#x20AC;?

The base that held the music box was split apart.

I knew it would never play and turn again, but I would try to be satisfied if she could just get the body back together.

The next night when I came home from work, there on my dresser, standing erect on the revolving stand, was my lavender-dressed doll just as if nothing had ever happened.

Her head was steady and her arm was attached, her bottom and top parts were together.

When I found the glue had dried, I turned her over to see the bottom. Sure enough, it was pieced together with the wind-up music stem in-

serted just as before.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the crack didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even show! I slowly checked to see if I could wind up the music and to my surprise, it clicked right on around.

So far, so good - but I knew she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t revolve like before. Letting go of the winding key, I carefully set the doll down on the dresser top and held my breath.

To my great surprise, the miniature lady began to turn as the music played â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let Me Call You Sweetheart.â&#x20AC;?

She had done it again! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Miss Fix-Itâ&#x20AC;? had come to the rescue and no one could tell anything had happened.

Every now and then I pass by the little figurine and give in to the urge to wind her up and listen to her as I remember my friend, Jimmie Lee, and my mother.

The little treasure is

more special after the accident because now it has received the touch of a loving motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands and is a reminder that she was my friend, my comforter, my example to live by. She could bandage my cuts and scrapes, soothe a broken heart, and even mend a fragile keepsake.

This weekend is the anniversary of my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home-going and I just realized sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been gone 22 years.

I still miss her but I carry her love and her encouragement with me every day of my life. She taught me how to live, how to love, and how to trust in God â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so thankful!

Gambling addiction can cause issues WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My fiance and I became engaged a year ago. He has many good qualities: He is really sweet most of the time, and he is a good provider.

He takes me on nice trips and buys me lovely presents. He even rubs my feet and cooks for me.

However, there are three bad qualities that give me grief. Like all couples, we argue now and then. But about once a week, we stay up all night arguing and can’t get to work the next day.

He hangs out at the casino into the wee hours of the morning. Last week, he came home at 5:30 a.m. He says he does it just to make me angry.

Two weeks ago, he left on Sunday afternoon and didn’t return until Monday morning. Then he wonders why I don’t trust him.

The other problems are that he drinks heavily and he likes to gamble a lot.

I’ve prayed that God will allow him to be the man I need and deserve.

When we first started dating, I didn’t see any of these signs.

I knew he frequented the casino, but it didn’t seem so bad.

Now he says he will work on coming home so late if I stop fussing. I told him if it happens again, the relationship is over. But he refuses to stop gambling.

Annie’s Mailbox Can he possibly change?

Please help me. I love this man, but I must be insane to put up with this mess. — Vicki in Vegas Dear Vicki: You are engaged to a man who is unlikely to change just because you want it and pray for it.

Please don’t lopsidedly balance minor good points (he rubs your feet) with major difficulties. Gambling is an addiction. Is he in debt? Does he have enough money to keep losing it at the casino?

Drinking is a different addiction and can affect his health, as well as your safety.

Staying out all night is a trust issue, and arguing all night is totally unproductive.

It is always a mistake to marry someone and expect him to change.

That rarely happens.

Please look into GamAnon (gam-anon.org) and Al-Anon (al-anon. org) for a better understanding of his behavior. Before marrying him, be sure you have a full report on your joint finances.

And we strongly urge

you to get premarital counseling. Your fiance sounds like an oncoming train wreck.

Dear Annie: A few months ago, you printed a letter from “Marie,” who was looking for nursing home and assisted living facilities for family members who live out of state.

You provided information only on nursing homes. For information on assisted living residences, please suggest that your readers contact Argentum (formerly the Assisted Living Federation of America) at argentum.org, or write us at 1650 King Street, Suite 602, Alexandria, VA 22314. — Richard T. Moore, President, Massachusetts Assisted Living Facilities Association Dear Richard Moore: Thank you for this additional valuable information. We hope any of our readers who are searching for an appropriate residence will check this resource.
