MDOT brings attention to road needs BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

TUPELO — With an uncertain funding outlook, the Mississippi Department of Transportation is calling attention to road and bridge needs across the state.

In a talk at the district oﬃce in Tupelo on Thursday, Northern District Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert said it is an issue of public safety, economic development and job creation. “The 1987 bill did many

things,” said Tagert. “However, unfortunately, it did not provide for a future funding mechanism for preserving the very system that we had built.” MDOT unveiled a list of unfunded highway projects that would take eight to 10 years to

complete at a cost of $400 million in additional funding annually. Alcorn County projects on the list are: • Surfacing of Highway 350 from Highway 2 to the Tishomingo County line

• U.S. 45 from the Prentiss County line to South Harper Road • U.S. 72 from near County Road 202 to the Tishomingo County line Please see ROAD | 5A

The opportunity to get a free tree sapling and some advice on planting will return with this year’s Arbor Day observance. Set for Friday, Feb. 10, in front of the Alcorn County Courthouse, the giveaway will begin at 8:30 a.m. and last until the trees are gone. They usually go quickly, and there may not be as many available as in some past years. “It looks like this year we are only going to have pines again,” said MSU Extension Agent Patrick Poindexter. “There won’t be a lot, but we’ll have a few to give away.” Representatives of the Mississippi Forestry Commission, Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Soil and Water Conservation District will also be on hand, as well as a 4H club that will help with distribution. “We’ll be there during the tree giveaway to talk to folks about the proper way to plant and where to plant them,” said Poindexter. “These pines, you don’t want to plant them too close to your house or too close to power lines.” Mississippi has observed Arbor Day since 1926 to recognize the importance of trees and forests. “We are a pretty heavily forested county, not only in pine trees, but in hardwoods and

People of the Crossroads Darrell Ward, Eastview, Tenn. Growing up poor created a desire to help others within the heart of Darrell Ward. “I love helping anyway I can,” said Ward as he clutched a Bible in his left hand. “I grew up poor and the Lord put this on my heart.” The 60-year-old Lake County, Tenn., native gives away shoes for children in need near his home on U.S. 45 in Eastview. Some of the shoes have been donated while Ward purchased others to provide for children. It’s something he has been doing for around three years. “I am not asking for anything in return,” he said. “On a pretty day, I put out the shoes and give them away.” Ward, who moved to McNairy County in 1996, has provided around 150 pairs of shoes over three years.

This is the CPP’s ninth season and the contest is an important part of the activities the organization hosts each year. This is the second contest since founding board member Donna Stockton passed away and Davis admitted this has made hosting the contest more challenging - both physically and emotionally. “She worked hard and was a valued friend. Her contribution to the Crossroads Poetry Project was tremendous,” he said. Davis has labored to continue Please see CONTEST | 2A

Agencies could lose civil service protection BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Most Mississippi state government employees could lose civil service protection for three years under a bill legislative leaders are pushing as a way to potentially save money in tight budget times. The proposal is in House Bill

974 , which passed the House on a split vote Thursday. Opponents held it for the possibility of another debate on another day. Supporters said removing Personnel Board supervision from most state government jobs would give directors the flexibility to reorganize agen-

cies to become leaner and more eﬃcient. “Let’s give it a shot and see how well it works,” said Rep. Angela Cockerham, D-Magnolia. However, opponents said many state employees earn less than they could in the private sector, and civil service protec-

tion makes government jobs attractive. Without the protection, the process of firing workers could be faster. “It’s so hard to get people to come into state government because we don’t really pay a heck of a lot of money,” said Rep. Ed Blackmon, D-Canton. House Appropriations Com-

mittee Chairman John Read, R-Gautier, said state tax collections fell $18 million short of expectations in January. It has been many months since the state collected as much as budget writers predicted it would. “If it was a Pollyanna world, I could print money and we’d all be happy,” Read said.

Marsher also admitted submitting a false report and lying to the FBI.

JACKSON — A Mississippi corrections oﬃcer has pleaded guilty to beating an inmate at the state penitentiary in Parchman, while the oﬃcer’s supervisor admitted helping hide the assault. The U.S. Department of Justice, in a news release, says 29-year-

The other guard, 47-year-old Robert Sturdivant, admitted to also punching and kicking the inmate and urged fellow oﬃcers to submit false statements to their department and to lie to the FBI. Two other oﬃcers pleaded guilty earlier to charges in connection with the beating.

Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi House could be on track to reverse itself and eventually kill a proposed internet sales tax. House Bill 480 passed the House on Wednesday, despite opposition from some Republicans who said they oppose any new taxes. The bill would enforce sales tax collections for items sold over the internet, and would earmark the money for road and bridge work. The bill was put on hold for the possibility of more debate. On Thursday, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeﬀ

Smith, R-Columbus, tried to remove that hold and send the bill to the Senate — but opponents blocked him. The House has until Feb. 13 to reconsider the bill. If nothing happens by then, the bill will die. The bill is an eﬀort to formalize the collection of sales taxes from Amazon. com and others that sell goods to Mississippians from outside the state. It would set aside the internet sales tax collections to pay for road and bridge work, with 70 percent going to the state, 15 percent to counties and 15 percent to cities.

In regard to the kids and the poetry writing contest, Davis said he has been amazed at the sophistication in the subject matter with the children. “The poetry I have seen written by these kids and the subjects they are dealing with ... they are dealing with things I would have thought they weren’t ready for. Sometimes they will put into poetry what they wouldn’t just tell you,” he said. This years’ theme for the CPP poetry contact is “Poetry: Voice of the Heart” and he encourages everyone who writes poetry to enter the contest. “Don’t just write it and hide it in the closet. Share it. Enter the contest or come to our poetry readings,” Davis said. After the deadline, and some time to organize the entries, the board president said he expects the contest judging to take place March 11 and the winners will be announced as soon as possible afterward.

Quilt guild escapes to 3-day retreat BY KIMBERLY SHELTON

Today is Friday, Feb. 3, the 34th day of 2017. There are 331 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On Feb. 3, 1917, the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany, which had announced a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, the same day an American cargo ship, the SS Housatonic, was sunk by a U-boat off Britain after the crew was allowed to board lifeboats.

On this date In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, providing for a federal income tax, was ratified. In 1943, during World War II, the U.S. transport ship Dorchester, which was carrying troops to Greenland, sank after being hit by a German torpedo; of the more than 900 men aboard, only some 230 survived. In 1959, rock-androll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson died in a small plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. An American Airlines Lockheed Electra crashed into New York’s East River, killing 65 of the 73 people on board. In 1966, the Soviet probe Luna 9 became the first manmade object to make a soft landing on the moon. In 1989, Alfredo Stroessner, president of Paraguay for more than three decades, was overthrown in a military coup. In 1995, the space shuttle Discovery blasted off with a woman, Air Force Lt. Col. Eileen Collins, in the pilot’s seat for the first time in NASA history. Ten years ago: A suicide truck bomber struck a Baghdad market in a predominantly Shiite area, killing 137 people. Five years ago: Susan G. Komen for the Cure abandoned plans to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, following a three-day furor that resounded across the Internet, in Congress and among Komen affiliates.

IUKA — Combining their talents, members of the Tishomingo County Needle Chasers Quilt Guild recently returned from their annual quilting retreat. Held at the J.P. Coleman State Park, more than 30 members took advantage of the three-day escape. A fun time of fellowship and collaboration, participants in the retreat also enjoyed a short class on Friday morning. Instructed by Terri Embrey, the course covered the technique for making a four-patch kaleidoscope quilt. Members also had the opportunity to work on projects of their own choosing. All chipped in to provide food for lunch and dinner. “The retreat is one of the highlights for our guild members each year,” said member Barbara Patterson. “Many Needle Chasers’ members come from a 60-mile radius of Iuka and are also members of the Cross City Piece Makers group which meets at 1 p.m. in Corinth at the Alcorn Extension Service on the third

Tennessee focuses on ‘Seamless Pathways’ for students For the Daily Corinthian

McNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — State officials have launched a renewed effort to focus on students’ readiness for life after high school. The Tennessee Department of Education released the Seamless Pathways: Bridging Tennessee’s Gap Between High School and Postsecondary report, which provides recommendations to ensure McNairy County and other Tennessee counties continue to move toward achieving its statewide goals for postsecondary completion set forth by Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam through the Drive to 55 initiative. Since the 2013 launch of the Drive to 55 — the governor’s initiative for 55 percent of Tennesseans to be equipped with a college degree or certificate by the year 2025 — leaders and educators in K-12 and higher education have risen to the challenge of preparing more students for life beyond high school. To further these efforts, Tennessee has implemented a series of nationally recognized efforts aimed at helping high school students transition from graduation to postsecondary. These include providing financial support and mentorship

“The opportunity to lead the nation is here. The opportunity to serve all students is here.” Candice McQueen Education commissioner through Tennessee Promise; sharing more guidance with students through AdviseTN; oﬀering more early postsecondary opportunities and increasing the spotlight on students’ access to them through a new school-level accountability framework; and hosting focus groups with high school students to hear firsthand about their experiences. Additionally, Tennessee was named recently as a recipient of the highly competitive $2 million New Skills For Youth grant designed to build on locally and regionally led eﬀorts through the statewide Pathways Tennessee initiative, which works to strengthen and expand education-to-career learning pathways for Tennessee’s students. Even with this renewed focus, Drive to 55 remains an ambitious goal that will require the state to support and equip more high school students to

be successful after graduation, especially as the job market increasingly demands credentials beyond a high school diploma. “When you’re recruiting companies to Tennessee, you learn right away that conversations about economic development become conversations about education,” Haslam said. “Education isn’t K through 12, it’s K through J-kindergarten to job, and we won’t meet our Drive to 55 goals if we don’t succeed in K-12. We’re focused on getting students ready for college, into college, out of college and tying their education directly to workforce needs, and we’re seeing incredible results. Now we need to build on this success throughout our pipeline to make sure students’ high school diploma serves as a seamless passport into college and career success.” “Tennessee is set to become the national leader in preparing

students for the workforce of tomorrow. The opportunity to lead the nation is here. The opportunity to serve all students is here,” Education Commissioner Candice McQueen said. “The programmatic vision put into place by the governor under Drive to 55, along with the aligned efforts of existing agency programs and priorities, has afforded Tennessee an opportunity to go further than any other state in implementing a seamless kindergarten-to-job approach for our students. And now, we have the ability to make research-based decisions about how to strategically invest our time, energy, and resources to maximize our students’ potential.” Based on evidence presented in the Seamless Pathways report, the education department offers four recommendations that districts, schools, and community stakeholders can employ to help students take advantage of postsecondary opportunities: Foster collective responsibility among middle and high school faculty and staff for the postsecondary preparedness of their students. Communicate with students about their postsecondary and career options early and often.

Corinth, Miss.

Mercy for the ‘Dreamers’ On June 15, 2012, President Obama signed an executive order to protect those who arrived illegally to the United States as minors. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals provides a Star two-year window to shield Parker these people from deportation and allow them to work. Columnist They must have been under 16 when they arrived, be in school or have completed school, and have no criminal record. The order produced consternation on two fronts. First, the nature of the action. Many feel that immigration policy should be handled comprehensively and that the first order of business must be fixing border security. Second, the form of the action -- a presidential executive order. Many see this order as changing immigration law, which would be unconstitutional because legislation is required. Now we have a new president who was elected in no small part to deal with immigration. And he is moving forward deliberatively to implement his campaign pledges. However, President Trump has so far not indicated what he intends to do regarding these so-called “dreamers” -- the name derived from the DREAM Act, the legislation originally proposed to process these undocumented immigrants. According to reports, the president is hearing diﬀerent sides on this, both inside the White House and inside the Republican Party. Some say “no exceptions” and want to repeal this executive order. Others want to continue the protections for these “dreamers” but want to handle the issue with legislation. Running a country is art, not science. If it were science, we could write software and send everybody in Washington home. Unfortunately, we need leaders who understand what our country is about to make tough calls when things are not black and white. The immigration issue is about law and law is about defining lines you don’t cross. Whether it is the physical line that defines the borders of our nation or the legal lines that protect life, liberty and property of citizens. Those who came here illegally of their own volition have violated both and this cannot be tolerated. Those whose arrived as minors, because their parents violated the law, do, I believe, deserve special consideration. Certainly, as Christians, we understand that justice has two components -- judgment and mercy. Judgment is the implementation of the law in its severity. Mercy is understanding and appreciating when there should be exceptions. Too often we have those who just want severity. And too often we have those who just want mercy. Yet again, you need both. Sens. Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin have introduced legislation that would essentially replicate DACA. It would give all the same protections and have the same requirements, but extends the window to three years rather than two. I think it is a good idea, but not enough. We should extend mercy to those who were brought here as minors illegally. But we should not allow them to forget that this is a nation of law and they received mercy. We should assure they have learned or are learning English, that they know or are learning American history, and that they know or are learning our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Perhaps we should also include a requirement for some kind of national service, possibly in the U.S. military. Regarding our laws, we should aspire toward the ideal to which Moses instructed the Israelites in the desert -- “You shall safeguard and perform” these laws such that the other nations of the world will say, “Surely a wise and discerning people is this great nation.” Star Parker is an author and president of CURE, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education.

Prayer for today Almighty God, I pray for the will to do my finest work. Disclose to me if I am being detained by serving selfishness in myself or in others. Lead me to what is right for me to do; and may I diligently tarry in it. Amen.

A verse to share Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. —Proverbs 3:5-6

Revisionist history clouds sales tax decision STARKVILLE — Much of the social media reaction in Mississippi to the negotiated decision by online giant Amazon to voluntarily collect and remit Mississippi’s 7 percent sales tax – technically a “use” tax – has been steeped in the revisionist history that this represents a Republican-led new tax or tax increase. That is simply not true. Let us take a little stroll down Memory Lane in Mississippi. First, let us stop in 1793 when the invention of the cotton gin allowed the production of cotton to supplant tobacco as the dominant cash crop in America. Even through the Civil War and Reconstruction, the South remained essentially a one-crop economy well into the 20th century. In Mississippi, the reign of King Cotton first saw an end with the building of railroads around the turn of the 19th century and the subsequent development of the state’s timber industry. By 1909, the boll weevil had begun to do its thing in the Magnolia State to diminish cotton yields and profits. Then came the devastation of the Great Flood of

1927 – followed soon by the Great Depression and specifically in 1931 by a draSid Salter matic drop in cotton Columnist prices. The venerable book “Mississippi: The Works Progress Administration Guide to the Magnolia State” oﬀers this account of how the collapse of King Cotton and other factors brought about the birth of the sales tax in Mississippi: “In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the (state) budget could not be balanced. When, in January 1932, Sennett M. Connor (his name was actually Martin Sennet Conner) took oﬃce as governor, pledged to the passage of a sales tax, the deficit totaled $13,486,760. On May 1, the sales tax bill, providing a two percent tax on all purchases, became a law; and before the end of 1935, the deficit had been wiped out, with the State’s treasury showing a cash balance of more than $1,200,000. “During the first two

years of operation, the tax cost the average citizen approximately ten cents a month, though it increased the state’s income by 25 percent.” The fact is that Gov. Mike Conner’s 1932 sales tax saved Mississippi government during and after the Depression. When Conner took oﬃce, the state auditor reported that there was a total of $1,326 in the state treasury and that outstanding warrants had been issued against that amount in the sum of almost $6 million. Mike Conner was a great governor and one who almost single-handedly preserved “the full faith and credit” of the state of Mississippi during the Depression. So the current caterwauling on both the far right and the far left in Mississippi over some supposed Republican conspiracy to enact a new tax or a tax increase based on the Amazon negotiation is, again, just not true. Sales tax has been a bedrock of Mississippi taxation since the darkest days of the Depression in 1932 – when Mississippi was literally too broke to pay its bills.

Nor is the full collection of Mississippi’s existing sales tax on online sales a “tax on the internet.” What it is a realization that technology and shopping habits have changed, but those changes never relieved the bricks-and-mortar, mom-and-pop retailers of the responsibility placed on them by Mike Conner in 1932 to collect and remit sales taxes to the state – and certainly not in the way that online retailers now argue that they should not be able to avoid. Sales tax evolved over the years. It increased and as it did, there were a growing number of sales tax exemptions. If there is an argument where online retailers might hang their hats in fighting the Amazon decision, that is the one. However, with tax cuts in other areas in recent years and a strained state budget, it is unlikely that Mississippi will retreat from the decision to pursue full collection of Mississippi’s existing sales tax in a way that includes online retailers.

Trump faces firestorm over deportation That hysterical reaction to the travel ban announced last Friday is a portent of what is to come if President Donald Trump carries out the mandate given to him by those who elected him. The travel ban bars refugees for 120 days. From Syria, refugees are banned indefinitely. And a 90-day ban has been imposed on travel here from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen. Was that weekend-long primal scream really justified? As of Monday, no one was being detained at a U.S. airport. Yet the shrieking had not stopped. All five stories on page one of Monday’s Washington Post were about the abomination. The New York Times’ editorial, “Trashing American Ideals and Security,” called it bigoted, cowardly, xenophobic, Islamophobic, unAmerican, unrighteous. This ban, went the weekend wail, is the “Muslim ban” of the Trump campaign. But how so, when not one of the six largest Muslim countries -- Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Turkey -- was on the list? Missing also were three-dozen other Muslim countries.

Of the seven countries facing a 90-day ban, three are U.S.-designated state Pat sponsors of Buchanan terror, and the other Columnist four are war zones. Clearly, this is about homeland security, not religious discrimination. The criterion for being included in the travel ban appears to be that these places are the more likely breeding grounds for terrorists. Yet there are lessons for the Trump White House in the media-stoked panic and outrage at the end of his first week in oﬃce. First, Steve Bannon’s observation that the media are “the opposition party” is obviously on target. While Sen. Chuck Schumer was crying on camera that the ban was “un-American,” the media were into the business of stampeding and driving the protesters. A second lesson is one every White House learns. Before a major decision is announced, if possible, get everyone’s input and everyone on board to provide what Pat Moynihan called the “second and third ech-

elons of advocacy.” Those left out tend to leak. A third lesson Trump should learn is that the establishment he routed and the city he humiliated are out to break him as they broke LBJ on Vietnam, Nixon on Watergate, and almost broke Reagan on the Iran-Contra aﬀair. While the establishment may no longer be capable of inspiring and leading the nation, so detested is it, it has not lost its appetite or its ability to break and bring down presidents. And Trump is vulnerable, not only because he is an outsider who seized the highest prize politics has on oﬀer, but because his agenda would cancel out that of the elites. They believe in open borders, free trade, globalization. Trump believes in securing the Southern border, bringing U.S. industry home, economic nationalism, “America First.” They want endless immigration from the Third World to remake America into the polyglot “universal nation” of Ben Wattenberg’s utopian vision. Trump’s followers want back the America they knew. We are headed for a series of collisions and crises, and what has happened

in Europe will likely happen here. As the Third World invasion and growing Islamization of the Old Continent has discredited centrist parties and continuously fed a populistnationalist uprising there, so may it here also. And Trump not only appears to have no desire to yield to his enemies in politics and the media, he has no choice, as he is now the personification of a surging Middle American counterrevolution. But by whatever slurs they are called, Middle Americans seem prepared to fight. And history shows that such people do not calmly accept the loss of what is most precious to them -- the country they grew up in, the country they love. They have turned to Trump to lead them. Why should he not, having been raised up by them, and knowing in his own heart what the establishment and the media think of him and would do to him? Ten days in, and already it is “Game On!” Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.”

Trump puts Iran ‘on notice’ after missile test BY VIVIAN SALAMA AND JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Thursday his administration has put Iran “on notice,” echoing comments from his top national security adviser that the U.S. will act against Iran unless it stops testing ballistic missiles and supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen. Trump and his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, didn’t elaborate on what retaliatory actions the U.S. could pursue. Trump tweeted, “Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile. Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!” He added in another

tweet: “Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion.” As part of the nuclear deal struck during the Obama administration, Iran received access to an estimated $100 billion of its own money that had been frozen in foreign bank accounts. The U.S. did not give Iran $150 billion. Flynn on Wednesday forcefully denounced Iran’s behavior in his first public remarks since Trump took oﬃce. He accused Iran of threatening U.S. allies and spreading instability throughout the Middle East while faulting the Obama administration for doing too little to stop the Islamic Republic.

“As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice,” Flynn said from the White House podium. On notice for what, Flynn didn’t say. Senior Trump administration officials said they were actively considering a “range of options” including economic measures and increased support for Iran’s regional adversaries. The officials, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, declined repeatedly to say whether military action is being considered. Iran’s acting commander of the elite Revolutionary Guard, Gen. Hossein Salami, responded in comments to the semi-official Tasnim news agency Thursday, saying Iran will “never change direction by a world power’s

demand, and our missile and nonmissile power will be updated every day.” Salami added, “If our missile power was not such a power to put fear into the hearts of Americans, there is no reason for these controversies.” The warning was an early manifestation of Trump’s promise of a tougher American approach to Iran. Yet administration oﬃcials emphasized that their allegations were unrelated to Iran’s obligations under the Iran nuclear deal that President Barack Obama and world leaders negotiated. Though Flynn noted Trump has criticized that deal, oﬃcials declined to say whether Trump planned to follow through on his campaign pledge to renegotiate it.

Seasoned spymaster named new CIA deputy BY DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The new deputy director of the CIA is a career spymaster who once ran a CIA prison in Thailand where terror suspects were waterboarded — a harsh interrogation technique President Donald Trump has supported. CIA Director Mike Pompeo announced Thursday that he has selected Gina Haspel to be the first female career CIA oﬃcer to be named deputy director. She has extensive overseas experience, including several stints as chief of station at out-

posts abroad. In Washington, she has held several top senior leadership positions, including deputy director of the National Clandestine Service and deputy director of the National Clandestine Service for Foreign Intelligence and Covert Action. She also had a role in the CIA’s former covert program where suspected terrorists were subjected to harsh interrogation methods, including waterboarding, which simulates drowning. More than a decade after it was last used, the CIA is still haunted by the legacy of a tactic that the U.S. government

regarded as torture before the Bush administration authorized its use against terrorist suspects. It’s unclear if Pompeo’s pick signals an attempt to restart the harsh interrogation and detention program. Last week, news organizations obtained a copy of a draft executive order that would order up recommendations on whether the U.S. should reopen CIA detention facilities outside the United States. It also orders a review of interrogation methods used on terror suspects and calls for suggested modifications that would not violate the U.S. legal ban on torture.

• U.S. 72 from east of Highway 2 to the end of the five-lane through Corinth • Signalization addition, upgrades, timing and coordination improvements on U.S. 72 Some legislators have suggested cutting MDOT’s budget by $50 million and giving that portion to the counties and municipalities. “At the request of Legislative leadership, MDOT provided a list of transfers that fund non-highway programs at other state and local agencies totaling $50 million,” said Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert. “These non-highway programs are mandated, but unfunded, and must be paid out of MDOTs budget. If MDOT could use these funds on highways, an immediate increase of $50 million would be spent on state-owned rural roads.”

“The 1987 bill did many things. However, unfortunately, it did not provide for a future funding mechanism for preserving the very system that we had built.”

Trump vows to end limits on churches BY CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Declaring that religious freedom is “under threat,” President Donald Trump vowed Thursday to repeal a rarely enforced IRS rule that says pastors who endorse candidates from the pulpit risk losing their taxexempt status. “I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution,” Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast, a high-profile event bringing together faith leaders, politicians and dignitaries. Trump’s pledge was a nod to his evangelical Christian supporters, who helped power his White House win. So far he has not detailed his plans for doing away with the rule, which he has previously promised to rescind. Named after then-Sen. Lyndon Johnson, the regulation has been in place since 1954 for tax-exempt charities, including churches, though it is very rare for a church to actually be penalized. Abolishing the amendment would require action by Congress, though Trump could direct the IRS to disregard the rule. The tax code does allow a wide range of political activity by houses of worship, including speaking out on social issues and organizing congregants to vote. But churches cannot endorse a candidate or engage in partisan advocacy. Lloyd Mayer, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, said an IRS move could prompt lawsuits, if the rule was repealed for churches but not other charities.

Mayer also noted that a full repeal of the rule could open up churches to the possibility of spending their resources to openly try to influence elections — and for donors to get tax breaks for political contributions. While some conservative Christians would like to see the rule abolished, others, especially the younger generation, support a clear separation of church and political endorsements. Many liberal churches are also active on policy issues, and could potentially get more involved in partisan politics. Mayer noted that for some religious leaders, the IRS rule has given them a way to avoid political pressure for an endorsement. “Now a church that wants to say no has an easy answer, it’s illegal,” Mayer said. Repeal does not appear to have widespread public support. Eight in 10 Americans said it was inappropriate for pastors to endorse a candidate in church in a poll released last September by Lifeway Research, a religious survey firm based in Nashville. For many religious conservatives, a more pressing issue they hope he will address is protection for faith-based charities, schools and ministries who object to same-sex marriage and abortion. The president made no mention at the prayer breakfast of other steps he may take, saying only that religious freedom is a “sacred right.” Kelly Shackelford, head of First Liberty Institute, a non-profit legal group that specializes in religious freedom cases said that “there’s a number of things he laid out that we expect we’ll eventually see action on.”

state, is available for iOS and Android phones. It is adapted from the “Mississippi Trees” handbook prepared by the MSU Department of Forestry. Beginning with Arbor Day, the week of Feb. 10 - 17 is Tree Planting Week in the state.

Mike Tagert Northern District Transportation Commissioner The state has 957 bridges that need replacement, and 11,000 out of 30,000 lane miles need major rehabilitation as the agency struggles to keep pace with the aging of infrastructure, the commissioner said. “Most people are unaware, but the leading causing factor in fatalities is usually pavement condition. This is a public safety issue throughout our state,” said Tagert. The infrastructure problem is more pronounced in rural areas, he said. “Last year alone, 677 Mississippians tragically died in car accidents on our state roadways,” said Tagert.

“The longer these rural roads continue to be ignored, the worse the condition will become and the more money it will in fact take our taxpayers to invest and repair the system in place.” The agency estimates poor road conditions cost state residents an average of $650 annually in vehicle maintenance. Tagert said cuts to the MDOT budget would aﬀect things such as welcome centers and rest areas; multi-modal funding for things such as airports, railroads and public transit; and possibly the State Aid program.

All about jobs

Rolling out new versions of its offerings has helped boost Hershey’s sales. Sales of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups stuffed with Reese’s Pieces and a new Kit Kat Big Kat bar contributed to the candy maker’s strong earnings in the third quarter, which prompted the company to increase its full-year earnings forecast. Did the trend continue in the last three months of 2016? Find out today, when Hershey serves up its latest quarterly financial snapshot.

New data on hiring should provide insight into how the U.S. job market is doing. Economists expect that nonfarm employers added 175,000 jobs last month. That would represent a rebound from December, when the economy added 156,000 jobs. The nation’s unemployment rate was 4.7 percent in December, near a nine-year low and close to what economists consider full employment. Labor Department releases its January jobs data today.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian What for Crossroads Magazine - Medical Guide edition coming out on Saturday, Feb. 25.

Boy’s belief in God doesn’t include belief in mom’s church D E A R ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old boy. I’m happy with my life, except for one thing. My mom Abigail believes in and Van Buren God, Dad doesn’t. I believe in Dear Abby God, but I don’t support my mom’s religion. My friends and neighbors think I’m in that religion, but I don’t believe in their beliefs. It’s really uncomfortable when people ask why I haven’t been in church. Mom signs me up for church activities, and I don’t like going. I feel awkward when I try to talk to my parents about it. I’m not close to them, and I don’t know what to do. I have been feeling stressed out lately. I don’t want to hurt my mother’s feelings. Can you help me? -- TEEN IN OGDEN, UTAH DEAR TEEN: I can try. What you should NOT do is allow your mother’s devout faith and your lack of it to become a contest of wills or a basis for argument. At 15, you are entering adulthood, and these are important years in your life. Thank your mother for the great foundation she has given

you. Tell her you love her, and you hope she will continue to love you as you explore what your beliefs are on your spiritual journey -- because it IS a journey. A wise clergyman once told me something I will share with you: The opposite of faith is not doubt; it is certainty. DEAR ABBY: I have had one major and one minor bout with cancer. Everyone I know treated me the same and were helpful except for one longtime friend I’ll call Brandy. You see, I changed and grew as a result of having cancer. The others seemed to accept this, but not Brandy. She still expects me to “snap back” and do everything I liked to do before. She can’t accept that I want to try new things and have let go of others, sends me “gloom and doom” articles about cancer, and even tried to fix me up with someone even though I am happily married. Brandy treated me like an invalid, even after I recovered. She does not like change and became angry when I suggested that both of us had changed -- perhaps too much to sustain the friendship. I tried explaining it to her, but she didn’t understand. A therapist advised ending the

friendship as gently as possible, so I did. Do you think I did the right thing? We used to have so much in common. -- NOTHING’S THE SAME IN NEW YORK DEAR NOTHING’S: Although you used to have a lot in common with Brandy, your cancer changed you. Someone who sends “gloom and doom” articles about the disease and tries to destroy your marriage by fixing you up is not a friend but a saboteur. You absolutely did the right thing by following your therapist’s suggestion. DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend pins me up against a wall to kiss me every chance she gets. What does this mean? -- LIP LOCKED IN L.A. DEAR LIP LOCKED: I don’t know what it means to her, but to me it means she may have seen it in a movie and is trying to show you how passionate she is about you. If you don’t like it, speak up and say so -- and if you do like it, speak up and say so.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). If a person seems always either up or down and never balanced, it’s a sign that you are in for a roller coaster ride should you choose to get close. People line up for such rides, which are usually expensive and brief. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Choose teammates who want to win. They’ll help you to victory. But more importantly, choose teammates who want to play, who love the game and who have the will to prepare. Just being around these types is a win. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There was a time when you were intimidated by the prospect of calling someone you don’t know. Today you’ll look forward to the surprise and education that always comes from a fresh contact. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In business, the bottom line is ROI: return on investment. Why not make ROI the bottom line in everything you do today? When you’re clear what you’re getting out of each action, you’ll choose

most efficiently. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Make no promises. Give no quick answers. This especially applies to feedback. Receive the tips, acknowledge the tipper and then take time to reflect and assimilate the implications. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today’s cosmic gift is talent for storytelling. Creative people will be drawn to your tales. This is could be the start of a community. Listen as well as you present and you’re golden. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No one is fully formed. You see the potential in others, and you will also have excellent ideas about how to direct it. Those are best shared exclusively with those who ask for help. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Team efforts don’t always have to be equal so much as mutually satisfactory. Sometimes you have to take yourself out of the equation in order to make sure that the other person is pulling his or her weight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). You’ve paid your dues, and maybe you think others should pay theirs, too, before they get to enter the “cool club”. Then again, things have changed so much since you started. Consider creating a new policy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can accomplish more. The limitations are in your mind. Look at the one who is doing it differently. Study the competition. What do the gurus have to say? This is an informationgathering period. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are chasing an object of affection that is chasing another object of affection, and this is how love makes the world go around. Hopefully you won’t lose heart. Did you notice that you’re also being chased? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Which approach is best? Should you push and drive your team, or should you lift and support them? Both ways are valid and needed at different times. Test the waters. Get a better reading of the situation and the group.

Pick with Kent – Super Bowl edition OK, let me get this oﬀ my chest right up front. I’m not a fan of either team playing in this game they call Super Bowl LI (come on, make it simple...just call it Super Bowl 51 because most of us don’t know Roman numerals anyway). Kent But me not Mohundro being a fan of either team Sports Editor makes no difference. There are millions of NFL fans around the world who’s favorite team isn’t in this game either, but they watch it for the commercials like everyone else. I just realized today that I haven’t talked to a single person around here lately that likes the Patriots. And let me

be clear: I don’t dislike the Patriots OR the Falcons. I’m just not a fan of either. But when you chat with as many people as I do, specifically about this game, and not one individual is rooting for New England that says something to me. It’s similar to the NASCAR crowd. Millions of racing fans voice their dislike of drivers such as Jimmy Johnson and Jeﬀ Gordon because, in their prime, they won nearly every other race. Johnson’s still at it. And folks like you and I get tired of seeing the same old team or the same old faces winning all the time. Alright, let’s talk about the game. I’ve beat around the bush long enough. First, the oddities of the Super Bowl. Did you know that anyone can place a bet on anything

associated with the Super Bowl. If it happens from pregame to post game, you can bet on it. If I were a betting manwhich I’m not — I would probably be inclined to place a bet on whether or not Beyonce will take the stage at some point during Lady Gaga’s halftime performance. Houston is her hometown after all. And the last time the Super Bowl was in Houston Janet Jackson had her infamous wardrobe malfunction, so who’s to say something similar doesn’t happen this Sunday? I don’t believe there’ll be any clothing issues when Luke Bryan performs the Star Spangled Banner before the game. But I’m sure there are thousands of women out there hoping. By the way, Gaga has invited 90-year old crooning

legend Tony Bennett to join her for a song sometime during her halftime show. That alone should be worth watching. When I say you can bet on just about anything pertaining to the Super Bowl, I’m not kidding. I’m telling you, you can make or lose money on just about anything this Sunday. So what do you wanna bet on? How long the national anthem will last, who will score the first touchdown and how they will score it, how many times Bill Belichick will have an assistant steal signals from the Falcons coordinators, how many total points will be scored in the game, or how long Lady Gaga’s halftime show will last? Most of those are true: I might have made one up. Please see PICK | 9A

Ron English named Mississippi State safeties coach Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — Ron English, a veteran in the college coaching ranks and former head coach at Eastern Michigan, has been named Mississippi State football safeties coach, head coach Dan Mullen announced on Thursday.

PICK CONTINUED FROM 8A

But you get the point. This is, by far, the biggest betting day of the year. More money will change hands Sunday than any single Walmart store in Atlanta or Boston does all year. OK, let’s actually talk about the game itself now. After all, there is a game squeezed in there somewhere. Right? This is the record ninth Super Bowl appearance for the Patriots. It’s Super Bowl No. 2 for Atlanta. And what a fabulous way to send the Georgia Dome into retirement than the Falcons advancing to the Big Game in their last contest there. Many of you will remember the first Super Bowl appearance didn’t go so well for Atlanta. They had to face some guy named Elway in his prime and lost 34-19 after upending the Minnesota Vikings 30-27 in Minneapolis two weeks earlier in the NFC championship game. Do you realize Deion Sanders was still playing for the Cowboys that season and led the NFL in punt return yard average. Dan Reeves was the head coach for the Falcons in 1998 but was diagnosed with multiple blockages to his coronary arteries and had to have quadruple bypass surgery toward the end of the season, around week 14. Then-defensive coordinator Rich Brooks filled in for Reeves during his absence before the head coach returned to the sideline by week 17, well ahead of schedule. Can you even remember who the quarterback

was that year? I had to go back and look. Chris Chandler was the starter and was backed up by Steve DeBerg. Jamal Anderson was the feature back for the Falcons and Alabama fans will remember that linebacker Cornelius Bennett was the leader of the Falcons’ defense. I’m sure a lot of you younger people reading this are saying “who are these guys. I’ve never heard of them before.” That’s the point. This Atlanta team is new to all this Super Bowl stuﬀ. And that may play to their advantage if they go out and play loose and have fun and not worry about messing up on the biggest stage in the world or who’s taking their picture or has a camera on them. The Patriots are used to the whole Super Bowl thing. Been there, done that. And with Tom Brady at the controls they will be the favorites. I’m not gonna bore you with all the numbers: where each team ranks in the league in oﬀense or defense. None of that matters Sunday. What does matter is who plays better and makes the fewest mistakes. Most prognosticators are saying that will be New England. The ‘Pats are early three-point favorites and the early over/under is 58 points. That feels about right to me considering the two teams playing in this game. Agree with me or not, New England was plain lucky to win the title against the Seahawks two years ago, and I believe this year they go down. (Kent’s Pick: Atlanta 31, New England 30)

fifth in interceptions (10) and fourth in turnovers forced (19). English spent five seasons as head coach at Eastern Michigan from 2009-13. In the last 30 years, he is one of only two EMU football coaches to be named a Mid-American Conference (MAC) Coach of the Year when he captured the honor in 2011. That squad finished with a 6-6 win-loss record, the most wins by the Eagles since 1995. English spent the 2008 season as defensive coordinator at Louisville and prior to that was at Michigan from 2003-07 where he coached the defensive backs for his first three seasons and served as defensive coordinator in his final two seasons under legendary head coach Lloyd Carr. In 2007, English oversaw an aggressive Michigan defense that was the nation’s eighth-ranked

pass defense and 17th in pass eﬃciency defense. The Wolverines were also 23rd in scoring defense and 24th in total defense. English was named Rivals.com 2006 National Defensive Coordinator of the Year during his initial season at Michigan. That Wolverine defense rated among the nation’s best, finishing first against the run, fourth in sacks, seventh in third-down defense, 10th in total defense and 15th in scoring defense. The Michigan secondary collected 36 interceptions during his three seasons overseeing the entire corps and turned four of those picks into touchdowns. English became the first coach in NCAA history to have two defensive backs earn consensus All-America honors in the same season, since the organization began incorporating both an oﬀensive and defensive team in 1965.

Black History Month comments raise questions This week, the president spoke favorably of the new National Museum of AfricanAmerican History and Culture, part of the Smithsonian, that opened this year in Washington, D.C. “During this month,” he said, “we honor the tremendous history of the African-Americans throughout our country.” This week also kicked oﬀ a month-long commemoration that began in 1926. AfricanAmerican historian Carter G. Woodson, in conjunction with the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, pronounced the second week in February as “Negro History Week.” That particular week was selected because it coincided with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln on Feb. 12 and the birthday of abolitionist Frederick Douglass on Feb. 14. The intended purpose was stated as the instruction of African-American history in U.S. public schools. Woodson said, “If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated. The American Indian

Media outlets began to question the historical background that top-level spokespersons, including the president, hold when it comes to integral figures in African-American history.

left no continuous record. He did not appreciate the value of tradition; and where is he today? The Hebrew keenly appreciated the value of tradition, as is attested by the Bible itself. In spite of worldwide persecution, therefore, he is a great factor in our civilization.” In years following, schools disseminated information regarding black history during the week in February, with a number of churches across the country also participating in the event. In 1969, a group of students at Kent State University proposed that the week be expanded to the entire month. The U.S. government oﬃcially recognized Black History Month in 1976 at the National Bicentennial, and President Gerald Ford encouraged American citi-

zens to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” One of the most prominent figures connected with the historical celebration remains the aforementioned Douglass, a Maryland slave who educated himself and broke away from enslavement to become a leader of the abolitionist movement and a scintillating orator, now well-known for his ‘Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.’ Historian Roy Finkenbine characterizes Douglass as having “made a career of agitating the American conscience.” Douglass believed in the equality of all peoples, regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender.

Bryant moves campaign cash to PAC Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has cleaned out his campaign fund and put most of the money into a political action committee. The Republican can’t seek a third term in 2019 and has said he has no ambition to seek other statewide offices. The latest campaign finance reports, filed this week, show the Friends of Phil Bryant campaign committee spent just over $1 million in 2016. The biggest chunk of that was a transfer of $760,764 to Imagine Mississippi PAC, which was formed in December. The governor’s campaign fund had a zero balance at the end of the year. The two campaign funds have the same treasurer, Paul Brezeale, a Jackson-based certified public accountant. The chairman of the new PAC is attorney Lucien Smith of Jackson, a former

gubernatorial chief of staﬀ for Bryant. Aimee Gardner of Madison, who has raised money for Bryant the past several years, is the PAC secretary. The governor’s campaign committee gave $64,000 last year to the Mississippi Republican Party. It contributed to two state Court of Appeals judges who were re-elected, Dawn Beam and Jack Wilson, both of whom he originally appointed to the court. The governor’s campaign fund donated to other Republican groups and several charities, including $1,000 to Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Greenville, which was burned and spray-painted with “Vote Trump” a week before the presidential election. Bryant, like many other Trump supporters, condemned the church burning, and a man who was a member of the church has been charged with firstdegree arson of a place of worship.

The current president also gave credit to Douglass this week for his contributions, saying that “Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job that is being recognized more and more.” The implication, of course, was, of course, that Douglass is still alive, still contributing to African-American achievements, despite the fact that the former slave died in 1895. Even the accompanying response from Press Secretary Sean Spicer seemed a bit oﬀkilter in terms of lack of contemporaneity: “I think he (Trump) wanted to highlight the contributions that he (Douglass) has made,” said Spicer. “And I think, through a lot of the actions and statements that he’s going to make, I think the contributions of Frederick Douglass will become more and more.” Media outlets began to question the historical background that top-level spokespersons, including the president, hold when it comes to integral figures in African-American history. If such a lack of knowledge is indeed the case, then it is logical to surmise that a portion of

the American public does not know about very specific contributions to American history of important African Americans, including those from Douglass, as well as Martin Luther King, Jr., Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells, and Sojourner Truth, to name a few. Perhaps when such prominent spokespersons reference notables from African-American culture with superficiality, it’s an indication that we all need more engagement with diverse cultures that have played important roles in our American history. Perhaps, too, we should take heed of the following statement: “Some know the value of education by having it. I know its value by not having it.” Those words, spoken by Douglass, who died a century ago, should remain as alive as ever in our public conscience.

A fish no man could ever catch BY JIMMY REED

The strike was explosive — a geyser of water and debris. Jaybird recoiled in shock to this primeval, hunter-hunted thunderclap, gaping in breathless awe as the squirrel’s question-mark tail disappeared down the bass’ cavernous maw.

Columnist

Deep down in his mute, cool, dimly lit domain, the monarch of the Mississippi Delta swamp hole lay in patient ambush while the terrified shiner just inches above him swam round and round in frantic arcs, desperately struggling to break free of its tether to the red and white bobber floating on the surface. My mentor and boyhood best friend Jaybird relaxed, mopped his sweaty brow, and set his pole aside for a while. Sighing deeply, he reflected on the trips he had made to this oxbow, one of many such lakes dotting the alluvial plain that had been his home for seventy years. Rarely, and then only in subliminal glances, he had seen the huge, mosscolored largemouth bass cruising through cypress knees and lily pads, his spade-sized tailfin oscillating in powerful lateral strokes, his black, baleful eyes staring, unblinking. Oh, how he wanted to catch that fish! But never once had this swamp leviathan shown any interest in Jaybird’s various lures. The old black man was a legendary fisherman, and many a time his angling skills had determined whether his and Thelma’s nine head of children were fed or went to bed hungry. Perplexed, he sat motionless and sweating in the cloying, humid silence, staring at lily pads, cypress trees, and tea-colored water. A squirrel’s appearance broke his reverie. Inching down a drooping limb, the animal’s beady, jet-black

eyes flitted nervously, his bushy red tail a vibrating question mark. Cautiously, he crept along the limb, downward, down … down toward a nut. Then more movement, at first a mere surface ripple drawing the man’s eyes from the bobber, no longer even twitched by the moribund shiner. The spreading ripples grew, forming undulating chevrons, and at their apex Jaybird saw his nemesis swimming unerringly as a torpedo, straight for the limb. The strike was explosive — a geyser of water and debris. Jaybird recoiled in shock to this primeval, hunter-hunted thunderclap, gaping in breathless awe as the squirrel’s question-mark tail disappeared down the bass’ cavernous maw. Instantly, the squirrel was snatched from airy, arboreal freedom into an underwater gullet prison where cracking bones and death screams were heard only by the unpitying omnivore. Rolling the line around his fishing cane, Jaybird took a long slug from his pint of bourbon and lit a Camel.

Then, just as he began paddling away, his eyes bulged at the sight of the monstrous fish head just breaking the surface, its black, hateful eyes framed by blood-gorged gills. The powerful jaws held something the man could not identify, and he watched in amazement as the blood brute of the deep gently placed the mysterious object just above the waterline on the same slanting limb, then sank slowly from view into the murky deep. It was the nut. Jaybird wasted no time rowing toward his ancient pickup on the distant shore. Not once did he look back; he would not be defeated again. He’d seen the last of a fish no man could ever catch.

The celebration of a lifetime begins here.

Learning lessons from the one of the best It wasn’t so long ago my classmates and I experienced the loss of one of our teachers. Understand that I have been out of high school over 50 Gary years and Andrews this teacher was in Devotionals her mid90s when she went home to be with the Lord. What I learned in my high school days was how disciplined this teacher was and how she made her students work and earn the grades that you made. She didn’t give anything just because of who you were. You earned everything that you got and I guess along with all of the students she ever taught, we learned to re-

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday – 2 Timothy 3:16; Monday – 1 Samuel 16:7; Tuesday – Romans 13:14; Wednesday – Proverbs 28:6; Thursday – Colossians 3:12-15; Friday – Daniel 6:4; Saturday – Matthew 5:44-45 spect her and accept her for who she was. You didn’t go to her class unprepared for you would face the consequences. You never misbehaved in her class because you would be sorry for acting up. She wasn’t afraid of any student or their parents because she had a job to do and that was to teach. What a great teacher she was

even though it took you after you graduated from high school to really appreciate what you learned from her. I wish I could say I really put myself into my studies in high school, but I can’t. I did enough to get by, and I was fortunate enough to make decent grades without studying the way I should have. I remember sitting behind a young lady in American History class on a particular day we were having a test. I wasn’t prepared the way I should have been and asked her to sit to one side so I could see her answers to the test. She was a very bright and studious individual and I knew she would make an “A.” This was not a good request because I received the worse chewing out that I ever got in high school. My menial request of her didn’t sit well

with her and she gave me one of the best lectures I ever received in my high school days. It was well founded and well said and I learned from it. Many times as we face day to day situations as we go through life many of us get by the best way we can and if means bending the rules a little bit, then so be it. If it means doing something that may not be quite right, then we do it and then try to straighten it out at a later time, hoping the situation has been forgotten. Maybe this is why all of us have allowed our society to become less than honorable and we see this in our leaders of today. It is up to us to go down the path the way the Lord Jesus would have us to go. To do this our character has to be top notch and our honesty has to be above the world’s stan-

dard. Proverbs 10:9 tell us, “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked with be found out.” My teacher of so many years ago taught us just how important this verse is. She taught us to be just in whatever we try and to do it with all our heart. She taught us about life and living it to the fullest and best that we can. It doesn’t matter how most of her students hated to be in her class because of her demands, but everyone that had class under her was blessed. She will always be a mentor to all of her students and peers that worked with her. The young lady that gave me one of life’s lessons became a teacher herself and became the image of our teacher that we all dreaded. She herself has become a legacy

among her students as well. As we travel this highway of life we need to all remember to be the best we can and to treat others as we want to be treated. If you are lucky enough to be a teacher, it is my hope that you become just as the teacher I had so many years ago and prepare the young minds for life as well as teaching them a subject. Prayer: Thank you Lord Jesus for the great teachers I had in my school years. All of them have impacted my life and all of them taught us that you are the great example. Amen.

Jimmy Reed’s stories always bring a smile, enjoyment every read (Editor’s Note: Jimmy Reed’s column can be found on page 10A in today’s newspaper.) Anyone who reads Jimmy Reed’s column in our newsp a p e r will understand why he is one of my favorite Lora Ann writers. love Huff hisI writing style and I Back Porch enjoy his stories. Some folks like to read novels, biographies, or murder mysteries, but me – I don’t find the time for such so I like quick reads, preferably with humorous or inspirational flavor. Jimmy’s stories never fail to bring a smile. Last week I was particularly depressed and befuddled with all the news stories; it was enough to cause me to want to stick my head in the sand and never come out. Then I picked up the Daily Corinthian and flipping through the pages, I found Jimmy Reed’s column, “Think no mo’ about o’ Dolly Jo.” That sounded interesting so I said to my husband, “Well, I’m gonna

Jimmy’s stories never fail to bring a smile. read Jimmy Reed’s column – maybe it will make me smile. Something needs to.” Within 60 seconds I was shaking and laughing out loud. His story did the trick and I felt better the rest of the day. And, by the way, I smile as I say that story is one every teenage boy needs to read. Mr. Reed’s style of storytelling brings the events to life and makes it easy to visualize what’s taking place. Someone said his descriptions give us the ability to smell the cotton gin, feel the grit from the dusty field road, and taste the cathead biscuits his friend Jaybird baked for him. I guess I was first attracted to this man’s stories because he writes about the Delta cotton farm life, his love for Jaybird, and his willingness to share the nitty-gritty stories of how country living was many years ago. He tells it like it was and, of course, tells it with a little flair.

My granddaddy was a brick layer by trade, but for years in the fall, he worked at a local cotton gin. When the trucks and wagons were lined up at the gin, he worked late into the night to empty them of the fluﬀy white stuﬀ. When I read Reed’s stories, I remember my granddaddy and his hard work at the gin. I’m reminded of our own cotton fields when I was growing up – but they were so very small when compared to the Delta cotton fields in Reed’s writings. As I read his accounts,

I do smell the cotton, feel the early morning dew on the fluﬀy cotton bolls at picking time, and feel the bumpy ride in the wagon or truck as we left the field for the house. We didn’t have a “Jaybird” to brighten our days and inspire us but I like to read about Jimmy’s. …So if you have never taken time to read this guy’s stories, please make an eﬀort to watch for his column. His stories will delight and inspire you, and if you’re over 50 years old, they will bring back a lot of memories as well. I’m glad our newspaper includes Jimmy Reed’s

umnist Lora Ann Huﬀ is a resident of the Wenasoga community.)

IT’S ME, OH LORD! In the early 20th century (according to a fellow writer), a London newspaper invited their readers to compose essays answering the question, “What is wrong with the world?” Scholarly essays of various lengths poured in. But the shortest, by far, was from G. K. Chesterton. Following his salutation, the body of his entire essay consisted of two words, “I am.” Countless times, we have heard gospel preachers quote, “There is none righteous, no, not one” and further, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom.3:10,23). Why did Paul see the need to remind his readers of this? Was it because of the human tendency to trust in our own ability in “law-keeping” (Phil. 3:9)? Was it the tendency to believe we deserve God’s blessings (Luke 17:10)? Was it the all too common tendency to excuse ourselves by pointing to other sinners and saying, “See, God, I’m not as bad as that person!”? Yes! to all three queries! Yet, regardless of financial status, education, gender, skin color, nationality, and so on, “there is no difference” (Rom. 3:22), all of us sin (I John 1:8). Paul, being inspired, and once a proud Pharisee himself, was insightfully familiar with the Pharisee in Jesus’ parable who trusted in himself that he was righteous and even thanked God he was “not like other men” who were sinners (Luke 18:9-14). Why would such a one (thinking he could be good all by himself) ever seek salvation from God? Why would such a one (thinking he never needed mercy) ever plea for God’s mercy, or show mercy toward others? The tax collector of that same parable did plea to God for mercy. He compared himself to no one else. He alone was “the” sinner he had in mind. He was the sort of man who could with sincere faith sing, “It’s me, it’s me, it’s me, Oh Lord, standing in need ... ,” Or exclaim “Oh wretched man that I am! “Who will deliver me ... ?” Then answer, like Paul, “I thank God--through Jesus Christ Our Lord!” (Rom 7:24-25). Genuine evangelism might be described as, “Forgiven sinners trying to reach unforgiven sinners” (I Tim. 1:12-15). Until we see ourselves as we really are--sinners in the likeness of Adam (Rom.5:18-19) and having no hope while without God in the world (Eph. 2:11-13)--we cannot truly seek God’s righteousness. ‘We invite you to seek his kingdom and his righteousness along with us (Matt.6:33).

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I’m almost 19 years old, and I’ve had a speech problem ever since I could talk. When I was about 7, I started getting help to correct my speech, and I continued until I graduated high school. Around that time, I got a part-time job. I worked with a lot of customers, and a lot of times they would ask me whether I came from out of the country, because I sound as if I have an “English accent.” I’ve been asked so much that I’ve tried to take it as a compliment, but now that I have a new job working with customers full time, it’s becoming more of a problem. It gets annoying, but with a customer service job, I cannot get angry with our customers. I talked with my parents about it, and they said that I just have to try to not have it get to me. The problem is that because I am asked almost constantly, I’ve become very self-conscious. I try my best not to have my speech problem, but it’s not something that I can fully control. I need advice on how not to be fast to anger when asked about my “accent.” Have any pointers to help me get through my day? — Speech Problems in Pennsylvania Dear Speech: I’m

Dear Annie printing your letter because you oﬀer an invaluable perspective. I will now think twice before asking someone about an “accent,” which might turn out to be an alienating and awkward question, as you’ve shown. As for your getting through the day, focus on what you can control. You can’t control what customers say, but you get to decide whether or not it bothers you. For what it’s worth, I’ve found that meditation can work wonders to make all the annoying, stressful parts of daily life a little less so. Dear Annie: Your suggestion to scroll down and hit “unsubscribe” on unwanted emails could result in your reader’s being hacked. My computer guru tells me to first check the email address of where it originated to make sure it is not spam (i.e., from a malicious or fraudulent sender, as opposed to a vendor whose mailing list you’re actually on). Hitting “unsubscribe”

tells the sender there is someone working that email address. Any emails not wanted should be blocked instead so they go into the junk email folder. Any emails wanted can be sorted by going to the search box at the top and putting in the name or subject. That will reduce the list of emails to be sorted through. I am sure other readers have more suggestions. — Full Inbox, Too Dear Full: Right you are. Here’s another. Dear Annie: Once “Inbox Infinity,” who has 6,972 unread emails, clears out her inbox and prevents future floods, she should set up one account for friends and family only and a second account for commercial transactions and shopping. The second account would be disposable, so if it got overwhelming or were spammed or hacked, she could close it easily and start a new one. We have done this for years with great success. — Jean in Florida Dear Jean: That’s a useful tip. Divide and conquer. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.
