Battle of the Hills — J.C. wins

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

J.C. Hill hopes the dark cloud of the contested ward 4 election four years ago can be erased.

Opponent Steve Hill, the former ward 4 alderman who challenged the results four years ago, spoke with him before leaving Corinth City Hall shortly after the machine totals were announced in Tuesday’s Demo-

Dance, Hopkins move on to general election cratic primary election. J.C. Hill won the race in a vote of 326 to 266, sending him to a second term on the Board of Aldermen.

“I intend to reach out to him to work together in the community,” said J.C. Hill, the former assistant director of parks and

recreation. “He made that commitment to me before he left, because we realize we can get so much more done if we work together. Since we both have been aldermen, I think we both can make a contribution to the community in a positive way.”

Steve Hill had a slight lead of 121 to 109 in the absentee ballot total.

J.C. Hill will be unopposed on the Oct. 14 general election ballot.

A hefty pile of absentee ballots became the focus of a few

hours’ work late into Tuesday night as candidates and observers awaited the results of a couple of tight races. With absentee ballots totaling 385, the count wrapped up about 10:30 p.m., and those ballots ultimately did not change any outcomes.

‘Big Chicken’ gets homecoming County fair hosts

As residents of the Gift community prepare for the Big Chicken’s homecoming, confusion has reigned over what to do and where to park.

An itinerary has been provided for the “Big Chicken” Homecoming, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Interest in the “Big Chicken” story continues to grow after the Associated Press distributed the Daily Corinthian story about how the community and total strangers rallied together to bring the infamous rooster to his new home.

When Sandy Childs begged the question,”How much do ya’ll want for that Big Chicken?”, she never dreamed it would result in the purchase and rejuvenation of an eightfoot, eight-inch, 300-pound rooster from Mid-South Ornamental Concrete.

What started out as a tonguein-cheek Facebook joke among friends led to an undertaking that would stir up laughter and light-hearted musings across the nation.

With only a few days left until the “Big Chicken” goes home to roost, Childs wished to make the public aware of the details surrounding its highly anticipated debut, which includes appearances by State Representative Nick Bain of Corinth and President of the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors Lowell Hinton.

“The money will go a long way with educating young people.”

WHITEHURST CONTINUED FROM 1A

14th tournament.

Rain spoiled the start of the Aug. 30 event at Shiloh Ridge.

“At 9 a.m. it was raining straight down,” said Whitehurst. “Then it quit and we were able to get the tourney in … it turned out to be a good day.”

DARE officers David Derrick and Lane Fowler are glad it was.

“This community is unbelievable when it comes to supporting DARE,” said Alcorn County DARE Officer Derrick. “The money will go a long way with educating young people.”

DARE is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to re-

sist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives.

Both local DARE officers teach the 10-week program to fifth and sixth graders in area schools.

“We try to stop it before it starts,” said Derrick of the substance abuse prevention program. “DARE teaches them how detrimental substance abuse is.”

“I would like to think we are reaching parents also,” added Lane Fowler, Corinth Police Department DARE Officer.

“So many kids go home and tell their parents what they learn.”

Founded in Los Angeles around 1983, DARE is implemented in 75 percent of the nation’s school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world.

to have these type of things checked during the year,” said fair committee member Sandy Mitchell. “The health fair enables them to get everything checked at no cost to them.”

Although the focus of the health fair is 0-5 year-olds, youngsters through the age of 18 are also being allowed to come through.

“The committee feels like this goes right along with our mission of helping the youth in

the area,” said Mitchell. “We are proud to be partnering with Excel by 5 and Magnolia Regional Health Center.”

Today’s fair activities include: ■ Arts & Quilt display, 5-10 p.m.

■ Canned goods display, 5-10 p.m.

■ Crescent City Carnival, 5-10 p.m.

■ Petting Zoo, 5-10 p.m.

■ Thomas the Train, 5-10 p.m.

■ Strength Team, 6:30-8 p.m.

Admission is free.

The patriotic afghan was donated by Haley Simpson.

AUCTION CONTINUED FROM 1A

Simpson later donated it to the VFW Ladies Auxiliary where it has been on display for close to a year now.

A tag on the flag reads, “Made Especially For You

by Granny,” leading many to question its origins.

“We will always wonder if it was given to a grandson or granddaughter who fought in Iraq or

Afghanistan,” said Edie Simpson, Auxiliary President of VFW Post 3962.

“We may never know the answer, but we honor this solider for his or her service to our great nation.”

The silent auction began on Sept. 6 and will continue until 10 p.m. on Saturday, November 15.

Bids should be made in dollar increments only and placed on the Ladies

Auxiliary Bulletin Board.

The winning bidder must be present to win.

“I suggest that those interested in the afghan come out on Friday night, put in a silent bid and then join us for karaoke,” said Simpson. “You can bid as much as you want and it would be great to see everyone on Saturday Dance Night. You could see how the auction is go-

ing and then bid again if you’d like to.”

In addition to the silent auction, upcoming events include: ■ Kid’s Day on Saturday, Sept. 27 ■ Yard Sale on Friday, Oct. 3 and Saturday, Oct. 4 ■ Halloween Dance on Saturday, Nov. 1 “Come out, bring your family and have fun with us,” added Simpson.

san G. Komen Foundation For the Cure.

Raising awareness and funding research for the cure are two things Guyton remains very passionate.

“It’s important to raise awareness because this isn’t a disease that affects older women or women of a certain race. Anyone can be affected by breast cancer,” she said. “It means a lot to me because it could very well be me battling this disease one day and I pray there are enough funds to go toward finding the cure.”

The church plans to raise awareness by letting people know how and when to do self-examina-

tions, as well as what to look and feel for.

After the walk, guest speakers will give testimony on their fight against breast cancer.

“We salute all survivors and honor the memory of those who have succumbed to the diagnosis,” said Guyton. “I have known quite a few people who have suffered from this nasty disease and realize that no one is excluded.”

Encouraging all to join them, Hopewell M.B. Church hopes to create an event that will be a success for many years to come.

“Anyone can participate. We want as many

people to come out as possible,” said Guyton.

“So, join us for our walk and let’s have a wonderful time as one body in Christ.”

Those who are unable to attend or who do not wish to purchase a shirt can still donate to the cause.

“The Women to Women Auxiliary at Hopewell M.B. Church is sponsoring the breast cancer walk. We all plan on participating in the walk and look forward to having a joyous time fellowshipping with one another,” Guyton said. “We are so excited and we feel that in keeping God first, the walk will be a success.”

WALK CONTINUED FROM 1A

The cost to join is $15 per person which includes a t-shirt and a complimentary registration packet.

“Sept. 28 is the deadline to register. We strongly recommend that you preregister by then. You can do so from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the church’s life center on Saturday, Sept.

20 and from 12 to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28,” said Sherika Guyton. “T-shirts sizes range from youth small to XL and adult small to 4XL. They will not be available for sale the day of the event.”

Jonathan Marsh is in need of 100 concrete blocks.

The Modern Woodmen financial representative isn’t building a house. He needs them for a show of strength.

The Strength Team is returning to the area today. Team members Dr. Joel Caldwell and Zeb Bishop will be taking part in assemblies at local middle schools as well as sharing the word of God later during the REVOLVE event at the Alcorn County Fair.

“It will be a truly motivational event,” said Marsh. “REVOLVE could be a life-changing event

for both adults and young people.”

REVOLVE is a student-based ministry in Corinth. Its goal is to see the lost saved, the saved passionate about Christ and the world changed.

The event is slated for 6:30-8 p.m. tonight inside the Crossroads Arena.

Admission is free.

“The message at school is totally different,” said Marsh of the West Corinth Baptist Church and REVOLVE Ministries provided event. “Wednesday night will be centered around the testimonies of the two team members.”

Modern Woodmen is sponsor-

ing the event.

On Wednesday, Caldwell and Bishop will visit middle schools at Corinth, Glendale and Kossuth.

“I thought it was amazing when they came in August,” said Marsh. “Every teacher went on and on about how good the message was last time.”

The team will cover the 6 P’s of their curriculum which include: 1. Prompt 2. Prepare for Testing 3. Polite 4. Positive Attitude 5. Participate 6. Produce “I was impressed with the de-

livery of their message,” added Marsh.

According to the team website, over the last 11 years they have been able to get the attention of thousands of students through their amazing feats of strength.

They believe if they can grab the student’s attention, they can then get a message to their hearts.

Members of the team break such things as bricks and concrete blocks along with bend steel rods and rip apart multiple telephone books.

“To see human beings with that kind of strength is unbelievable,” said Marsh.

CHICKEN CONTINUED FROM 1A

The parade At 11 a.m. walkers, horses, golf carts, ATVs and other vehicles will line up in a shaded area at the left of CR 753. Beginning at this area, vehicles will line up on the main road leaving room for one lane of traffic to flow.

“Everyone is welcome to participate in the parade,” said Childs. “Remember this is all in good fun. So, give yourself whatever title you want and join in.”

Parking Those wishing to park along the roadside should go past the chicken site so as not to block the parade

route.

Parade goers are asked not to block private drives or park in private yards without permission.

Volunteers will be present to assist in traffic direction.

“We hope to park everyone,” said Childs.

“So, leaving when you want will not be a problem.”

Entertainment A few bands are slated to play and local politicians expected to attend.

Concessions Kossuth High School band will have concessions.

Things to remember ■ Bring a lawn chair. A

limited number of chairs will be available for the elderly.

Opinion

Mark Boehler, 4A • Wednesday, September 17, 2014 editor Corinth, Miss.

The forever war The strategy that President Obama laid out Wednesday night to “degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL,” is incoherent, inconsistent and, ultimately, non-credible.

Pat A year ago, Obama and John Buchanan Kerry were straining at the leash to launch air strikes on Columnist Syrian President Bashar Assad for his alleged use of chemical weapons in “killing his own people.”

But when Americans rose as one to demand that we stay out of Syria, Obama hastily erased his “red line” and announced a new policy of not getting involved in “somebody else’s civil war.”

Now, after videos of the beheadings of two U.S. journalists have set the nation on fire, the president, reading the polls, has flipped again.

Now Obama wants to lead the West and the Arab world straight into Syria’s civil war. Only this time we bomb ISIL, not Assad.

Who will provide the legions Obama will deploy to crush ISIL in Syria? The Free Syrian Army, the same rebels who have been routed again and again and whose chances of ousting Assad were derided by Obama himself in August as a “fantasy”? The FSA, the president mocked, is a force of “former doctors, farmers, pharmacists and so forth.”

Now Obama wants Congress to appropriate $500 million to train and arm those doctors and pharmacists and send them into battle against an army of jihadist terrorists who just bit off one-third of Iraq.

Before Congress votes a dime, it should get some answers.

Whom will this Free Syrian Army fight?

ISIL alone? The al-Nusra Front? Hezbollah in Syria? Assad’s army? How many years will it take to train, equip and build the FSA into a force that can crush both Assad and ISIL? “Tell me how this thing ends,” said Gen. David Petraeus on the road to Baghdad in 2003.

The president did not tell us how this new war ends.

If ISIL is our mortal enemy and Syria its sanctuary, there are two armies capable of crushing it together -- the Syrian and Turkish armies.

But Turkey, a NATO ally, was not even mentioned in Obama’s speech. Why? Because the Turks have been allowing jihadists to cross into Syria, as they have long sought the fall of Assad.

Now, with the Islamic State holding hostage 49 Turkish diplomats and their families in Mosul, Ankara is even more reluctant to intervene.

In Iraq, too, thousands of ground troops will be needed to dig the Islamic State out of the Sunni cities and towns.

Where will these soldiers come from?

A number of NATO allies have indicated a willingness to join the U.S. in air strikes on the Islamic State in Iraq. None has offered to send troops. Similar responses have come from the Arab League.

But if this is truly a mortal threat, why the reluctance to send troops?

Some of our Arab allies, like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Gulf Arabs, have reportedly been providing aid to ISIL in Syria. Why would they aid these terrorists?

Because ISIL looked like the best bet to bring down Assad, whom many Sunni loathe as an Arab and Alawite ally of Iran in the heart of the “Shia Crescent” of Tehran, Baghdad, Damascus and Hezbollah. For many Sunni Arabs, the greater fear is of Shia hegemony in the Gulf and a new Persian empire in the Middle East.

Among all the nations involved here, the least threatened is the United States. Our intelligence agencies, Obama, says, have discovered no evidence of any planned or imminent attack from ISIL. As the threat is not primarily ours, the urgency to go to war is not ours. And upon the basis of what we heard Wednesday night, either this war has not been thought through by the president, or he is inhibited from telling us the whole truth about what victory will look like and what destroying the Islamic State will require in blood, treasure and years.

Prayer for today Almighty God, help me as I start this day to remember how easy it is to drive the peace from it. May I do my best to keep it, and defy any indolence or disposition, that may make me spoil it. May I lay me down at night in peace and sleep because of the contentment that has filled the hours. Amen.

A verse to share “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” John 5:39

The halfhearted war on terror Only President Barack Obama would feel compelled to mention the success of the American auto industry in a speech rallying the nation for a long war of annihilation against a vile terror group.

Through the years, even when he’s been his most stalwart-sounding in national-security speeches, you can’t shake the sense that he’d much rather be talking up tax credits for plug-in electric cars, or extolling Obamacare’s mandate for employer coverage of contraception.

The last thing he wanted to do, nearly six years into his presidency, is have to give a prime-time address about his new war in Iraq.

Yet he did it and sounded credible, indeed forceful and determined. He condemned the viciousness of ISIS. He put himself clearly on record for seeking its destruction. He boasted of his own lethality to our enemies. He extolled American leadership (and talked up the auto companies).

The speech had everything a hawk against ISIS would want – except an unmistakable strategy to destroy ISIS. The president compared

the Iraq effort to the “counterterrorism” campaigns in Somalia and Yemen, Rich c o u n t r i e s Lowry where we target indiNational vidual terReview rorists from the air and occasionally with special forces amid chaos on the ground. If we want to kill some members of ISIS over a period of years while it remains a threat, this is an entirely appropriate model.

The Somalia/Yemen approach is a way, to borrow the president’s formulation from just a week ago, to manage the ISIS threat rather than to destroy it.

ISIS has occupied an enormous amount of territory in Iraq and Syria, including major population centers. That is why it declared a caliphate and why it has unprecedented resources. To defeat it, this territory must be taken back, and it is unlikely to happen exclusively from the air – especially in the cities.

It will take ground forces.

We hope to work with proxy

forces, but they are motley groups that will almost certainly need vetting and advising by special operators working closely with them on the ground. But the president ruled out American ground forces.

The cynical interpretation is that he is hoping to do enough against ISIS to satisfy domestic political opinion and keep the terror group at bay until he can hand off an incomplete campaign to his successor, who will be left with the difficult choice of whether to truly defeat ISIS. Certainly, the president gives no sign of having absorbed the full magnitude of his policy failures in Iraq and Syria to this point.

Former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen points out that President George W. Bush, in ordering the surge in Iraq, acknowledged his prior strategy had failed.

This established that he had a new understanding of the challenge in the country and underlined his commitment to acting on it. Obama has made no similar acknowledgment, and probably never will.

To be sure, we are a long way from January, when the president explained

away ISIS’s capture of Fallujah as practically the normal course of things in the Sunni heartland of Iraq. It is good that he says he wants to destroy ISIS, good that he has expressed a willingness to extend the bombing campaign to Syria, good that he helped ease the disastrous Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki from power, and good that he has put together a small coalition of the willing.

Perhaps the execution of what he described in his speech will be very robust and he will find a way to get out of his prohibition on boots on the ground, if it becomes obvious that it is an obstacle to success.

But he has a history of all but walking away from his military commitments.

He ordered the surge in Afghanistan, then did all he could never to speak of it again, and now risks creating a new Iraq there with another complete pullout in a few years.

No matter how tough he sounds, his heart is someplace else.

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

Mob rule economics While we talk about democracy and equal rights, we seem increasingly to let both private and government decisions be determined by mob rule. There is nothing democratic about mob rule. It means that some people’s votes are to be overruled by other people’s disruptions, harassments and threats.

The latest examples are the mobs in the streets in cities across the country, demanding that employers pay a minimum wage of $15 an hour, or else that the government makes them do so by law. Some of the more gullible observers think the issue is whether what some people are making now is “a living wage.” This misconstrues the whole point of hiring someone to do work.

Those who are being hired are paid for the value of the work they do.

If their work is really worth more than what their employer is paying them, all they have to do is quit and go work for some other employer, who will pay them what their work is really worth. If they can’t find any other employer who will pay them more, then what makes them think their work is worth more?

As for a “living wage,” the employer is not hiring people in order to acquire dependents and become their meal ticket. He is hiring them for what they

produce.

Are some people not able to produce much? Absolutely! I know because I was once one of those people.

After leaving home as a teenager, I discovered that what I could earn would only enable me to rent a furnished room about 6 by 9 feet.

It became painfully clear that there was no great demand for a high school dropout with no skills and no experience.

My choices were to get angry at my employer or to acquire some skills and experience -- and try to pick up some more education, while I was at it. Even to a teenage dropout, that choice was a no-brainer.

There was no one around to confuse the issue by telling me that I was somehow “entitled” to what other people had produced, whether

at the expense of the taxpayers or the employer.

There was a minimum wage law, even back in those days. But it had been passed ten years earlier, and inflation had raised both prices and wages to the point where it was the same as if there were no minimum wage law.

Thank heaven! The unemployment rate among black teenagers back then was a fraction of what it would become in later years, after “compassionate” politicians repeatedly raised the minimum wage rate to keep up with inflation.

In 1948, the year I left home, the unemployment rate among black 16-yearolds and 17-year-olds was 9.4 percent, slightly lower than that for white kids the same ages, which was 10.2 percent.

Whatever the good intentions behind minimum wage laws, what matters are the actual consequences.

Many people have ideological, financial or political incentives to obfuscate the consequences.

Labor unions are the biggest force behind attempts to raise the minimum wage.

That may seem strange, since most union members

already earn more than the minimum wage. But the unions know what they are doing, even if too many gullible observers do not.

Low-skill workers with correspondingly low wages compete in the labor market with higher skilled union members with correspondingly higher wages.

Many kinds of work can be done by various mixtures of low-skilled workers and high-skilled workers.

Minimum wage rates that are higher than what most low-skilled and inexperienced workers are worth simply price those workers out of the job markets, leaving more work for union members. All the unions have to do is camouflage what is happening by using rhetoric about “a living wage,” or “social justice” or whatever else will impress the gullible.

Life was tough when all I could get were low-paying jobs. But it would have been a lot tougher if I couldn’t get any job at all. And a tough life made me go get some skills and knowledge.

Reid to ensure nuke dump stays dead WASHINGTON — Amid action in Congress to intensify the fight against Islamic State militants, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid found time Tuesday for an issue closer to home: ensuring that a nuclear waste dump in his home state of Nevada remains mothballed even after the government has spent $15 billion on it.

Reid devoted floor time to confirming two nominees to the agency that oversees the nation’s nuclear reactors. That means a Democratic-appointed majority will weigh any further steps related to creating a national nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, located 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

The confirmations come as Republicans have begun talking about trying to revive the Yucca Mountain project if they retake the Senate in November. The Obama administration, under pressure from Reid, abandoned the project early in the president’s first term, leaving tens of thousands of tons of spent fuel sitting at nuclear reactors around the country with nowhere to go.

Corinthian Colleges sued for lending WASHINGTON — Corinthian Colleges is being sued by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for what

it calls a “predatory lending scheme.”

The CFPB is seeking more than $500 million for borrowers who used the for-profit education company’s private student loans. Corinthian misled students about their job prospects, in some cases paying employers to offer temporary jobs to graduates, the agency said Tuesday.

Corinthian charged as much as $75,000 for a bachelor’s degree and pushed students into private loans with interest rates of roughly 15 percent, more than double the rate for a federal loan, the CFPB said.

More than 60 percent of Corinthian students with those loans defaulted within three years.

Chicago, New York and Boston came to Washington to lobby Congress and the White House on efforts to combat prescription opioid abuse, which is blamed for 17,000 deaths per year — more than three times as many as either heroin or cocaine.

Abortion coverage in health law weighed WASHINGTON — A nonpartisan congressional agency is raising new questions about compliance with a key compromise on abortion that allowed the federal health care law to pass in 2010.

The Government Accountability Office said in a report released late Monday that only 1 of 18 insurers it reviewed was separately itemizing a charge for coverage of elective abortions on enrollees’ bills.

That detail is important because the original compromise that President Barack Obama sealed with anti-abortion Democrats stipulated that no federal funds would be used to pay for elective abortions. Instead, private health plans covering the procedure would collect a separate premium, which would be segregated from federal subsidies for other medical services.

Although abortion is a legal medical procedure, longstanding federal laws prohibit taxpayer funds from being used to pay for it, except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.

Big cities take aim at painkillers WASHINGTON — Some of the nation’s largest cities are ratcheting up their criticism of prescription painkillers, blaming the industry for a wave of addiction and overdoses that have ravaged their communities and busted local budgets.

The heightened rhetoric comes as Chicago tries to recover millions in health care costs from opioid drugmakers, alleging that companies deliberately misled the public about the risks of their drugs.

It’s a legal strategy that could be attractive to other cash-strapped cities, but one that experts say will face hurdles in court.

Childers: Cochran wrong on pay issue JACKSON — Democratic former U.S. Rep. Travis Childers said Tuesday that if he’s elected to the Senate, he will support a bill requiring employers to pay women and men the same amount for doing the same jobs.

“I have learned to listen to the women in my family, especially concerning family issues.

I only have to look back as far as my own mother to be able to talk about and tell you that I proudly support the paycheck fairness act,” Childers said during a news conference in Jackson.

Childers is trying to unseat six-term Republican Sen. Thad Cochran in the Nov. 4 general election, and he criticized Cochran for voting to block such a bill. Cochran was among 40 Republican senators who voted Monday against letting the pay bill move forward. Fiftytwo Democrats voted to advance the bill, but they fell short of the 60 votes they needed.

Cochran campaign spokesman Jordan Russell said the incumbent supports equal pay.

of Biloxi’s Margaritaville casino has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Tuesday, only hours before a hearing where the landlord aimed to seize the property.

The filing by MVB Holding LLC in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Gulfport follows the casino’s shutdown on Monday night.

Don Dornan, a lawyer for landlord Clay Point LLC, said the company had planned to ask Harrison County Circuit Judge Michael Ward to give it control of the property in a Wednesday hearing.

Clay Point said in court papers in July that MVB hasn’t paid rent since the casino opened in 2012 and owes more than $3.8 million, plus $500,000 in taxes that Clay Point had to step in and pay on Margaritaville’s behalf. The bankruptcy freezes the state court case, leaving a judge to sort things out.

Clay Point was barricading entrances with concrete traffic barriers as MVB filed.

Top general: U.S. ground troops possible in Iraq

BY DAVID ESPO AND DONNA CASSATA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — American ground troops may be needed to battle Islamic State forces in the Middle East if President Barack Obama’s current strategy fails, the nation’s top military officer said Tuesday as Congress plunged into an election-year debate of Obama’s plan to expand airstrikes and train Syrian rebels.

“To be clear, if we reach the point where I believe our advisers should accompany Iraqi troops on attacks against specific ISIL targets, I will recommend that to the president,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey declared in testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee, referring to the militants by an alternative name.

Pressed later by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the panel’s chairman, the four-star general said if Obama’s current approach isn’t enough to prevail, he might “go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of ground forces.” Obama has maintained repeatedly that

American forces will not have a renewed ground combat mission in Iraq in this new phase of a long war against terrorists.

Tuesday’s remarks by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew a prompt, polite rebuttal from the White House.

Obama “will not deploy ground troops in a combat role into Iraq or Syria,” said spokesman Josh Earnest.

Dempsey’s testimony underscored the dilemma confronting many lawmakers as the House moves through its own debate on authorizing the Pentagon to implement the policy Obama announced last week.

In Iraq on Tuesday, the U.S. continued its expanded military campaign, carrying out two airstrikes northwest of Irbil and three southwest of Baghdad.

Democrats in Washington spoke of a fear that the United State might inevitably become dragged into yet another ground war on the heels of Afghanistan and Iraq. “We must ... ask ourselves if we can truly ‘vet’ these rebel groups beyond their known affiliations, and ensure we are not arming the next extremist threat to the re-

gion and the world,” said Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Ind. Republicans said they worried that Obama was responding tepidly to the current threat by terrorists who have overrun large sections of Iraq and Syria and beheaded two American journalists. “If it’s important enough to fight, it’s important enough to win,” said Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., one of the first lawmakers to address the subject in several hours of scheduled debate.

A vote was expected in the House on Wednesday, and in the Senate within days. In the Senate, Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced he would support the measure and Democratic leader Harry Reid predicted bipartisan approval. The timetable was remarkably rapid by congressional standards, the result of a strong desire by lawmakers in both parties to adjourn quickly and return home to campaign for re-election.

Only seven weeks before voters go to the polls, most Republicans had little stomach to oppose Obama on a matter of national security, particularly

when polls suggest he has the support of large segments of the public. As a result, the likelihood was that Congress would swing behind his request, and then return for a fuller debate of his war strategy in a postelection session of Congress.

“I think there’s a lot more that we need to be doing, but there’s no reason for us not to do what the president asked us to do,” said Speaker John Boehner, the leader of House Republicans.

The legislation also drew support from Sen. Levin, an influential voice among Democrats on military matters. He is retiring, but fellow Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, who is in a difficult re-election race, said she intended to back Obama’s request. Even so, she added it “would be a mistake” for Congress not to debate the issue in depth in the future.

Dempsey and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel fielded questions as Obama met in the Oval Office with retired Marine Gen. John Allen, who is coordinating international efforts to combat the Islamic State militants.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., seemed incredulous, saying

the United States evidently intended to train Syrian rebels without anticipating they would be attacked from the air by forces loyal to President Bashar Assad, whom they are sworn to drive from power.

He asked how U.S. forces would respond in the event Assad’s air force bombed the U.S.-trained forces. “We will help them, and we will support them,” Hagel eventually said.

Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., posed a different hypothetical question, asking Dempsey if U.S. forces will be prepared to mount search and rescue operations and “be prepared to put boots on the ground” if American pilots are shot down.

“Yes and yes,” responded the general.

There was skepticism, as well, that the United States would be able to properly identify as many as 5,000 Syrian rebels who could be trusted to carry out Obama’s mission in a region where religious and tribal loyalties frequently collide.

Hagel said the U.S. will monitor them closely to ensure that weapons don’t fall into the wrong hands.

China’s rise leaves out American investors Associated Press

WASHINGTON — American investors are clamoring to buy a stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, which is launching what may prove the biggest initial public stock offering ever.

But history is stacked against them.

China’s explosive economic rise has delivered virtually nothing to most stock investors. When Chinese companies have listed stocks on American markets, their shares have lost an average 1 percent a year for the next three years, compared with an average 7 percent annual gain for other U.S. IPOs, according to research by Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida.

Most Chinese stocks trade in China, of course.

And those stocks have burned investors, too.

From 1993 to 2013, when China’s economy grew nearly seven-fold from No. 9 to No. 2 in the

world, stocks on Chinese markets returned a cumulative total of just 7.9 percent — even if shareholders had reinvested dividends.

Over the same time, U.S. stocks jumped 555 percent, German stocks 458 percent and Spanish stocks more than 1,000 percent, according to Credit Suisse.

“It’s probably one of the biggest disconnects in the history of stock markets,” says Nicholas Lardy, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

Chinese stock gains didn’t even keep up with inflation, says Elroy Dimson, emeritus professor of finance at the London Business School, who helped compile the Credit Suisse numbers.

Adjusted for inflation, Chinese stocks lost 3.8 percent a year from 1993 to 2013.

It’s entirely possible, of course, that Alibaba will produce outsize investment returns over time.

The company has become a hugely popular shopping magnet on the strength of China’s surging growth.

Its regulatory filing indicates that Alibaba draws 188 million monthly visitors on mobile devices — a tantalizing target for advertisers.

The company’s financial results have been stellar: Alibaba said its revenue jumped 46 percent to $2.54 billion in the three months that ended June 30 and that it earned $1.2 billion excluding a onetime gain.

Mexico airlifts tourists after Hurricane Odile

BY ALBA MORA ROCA Associated Press

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — The Mexican government began airlifting the first of thousands of stranded tourists out of the hurricane-ravaged resort area of Los Cabos on Tuesday, as residents picked up the pieces of shattered, flooded homes.

The Interior Ministry said military and commercial planes were carrying travelers out through the Los Cabos international airport, which remained closed to commercial flights due to damage suffered when Hurricane Odile tore through the area late Sunday and Monday.

Images on Mexican television showed the terminal full of debris, but Ministry official Jose Maria Tapia told Milenio Television earlier that the runway was usable and work was nearly complete

to make the control tower operable.

Travelers were being flown free of charge to airports in Tijuana, Mazatlan, Guadalajara and Mexico City to catch connecting flights and, in the case of foreigners, receive consular assistance.

Thousands in the state of Baja California Sur remained without electricity, water or phone service.

A boat was on its way with humanitarian aid, and authorities were working to restore utilities.

President Enrique Pena Nieto was scheduled to tour the area later, after presiding over an independence day military parade in the capital.

Downgraded to a tropical storm, Odile continued to soak parts of the Baja California Peninsula, and forecasters said it was still capable of unleashing dangerous flash floods and mudslides.

In Los Cabos, Enrique Cota wept as he stood in murky, ankle-deep water and surveyed the destruction at his home. On the kitchen wall, a muddy mark nearly waist-high showed how deep the floodwaters got.

“We’ll have to start over, little by little,” Cota said, “because the stove, the refrigerator, the television, the kid’s computer — it’s all ruined.”

He rode out Odile’s landfall in a shelter with firefighters, and said he hadn’t slept for two days.

Homes, stores and resorts along Los Cabos’ famed hotel row all suffered severe damage, with room windows shattered, facades crumbled and lobbies full of debris.

Authorities said about 30,000 tourists, 26,000 of them foreigners, were being put up in temporary refuges or hotel areas converted to shelters.

Atlantic City loses 4th casino Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Beset by crushing debt, fleeing customers and run-down facilities, Trump Plaza on Tuesday became the fourth casino in Atlantic City to shut down this year.

The 30-year-old casino at the heart of the Boardwalk had been the town’s worst performing for years. It won about the same amount from gamblers this year as the market-leading Borgata takes in every two weeks. And at pennies on the dollar, no one wanted to buy it.

Trump Plaza is the latest victim of casino contraction brought on by competition in neighboring states in the saturated northeastern U.S. gambling market.

Atlantic City began the year with 12 casinos; it now has eight. The Atlantic Club, Showboat and Revel also closed, and the Taj Mahal could be next on Nov. 13.

Theresa Volpe, a cocktail server at the Plaza for 26 years, is looking for a new job — along with about 8,000 others suddenly cut loose by Atlantic City’s casinos since January. An unemployment assistance session will be held Wednesday at Boardwalk Hall.

“I don’t know if we’re going to have a difficult time because of our age,” she said. “Someone in their 50s is not necessarily what they want. ” Dealer Ruth Hardrick worked at Trump Plaza for 26 of its 30 years. She, too, is jobless.

“You think something will come along (to save the casino),” she said.

“And it didn’t.”

Donald Trump told The Associated Press that he “will be taking a very serious look” at buying back the company after it declared bankruptcy this

month and that the decision will come down to price. He said he would then have to determine whether Trump Plaza is “viable” and worth reopening.

“I got out years ago, the timing was good, but I

feel really badly about the people,” Trump said.

Trump owns a 9 percent stake in Trump Entertainment Resorts and went to court last month to try to get his name removed from the properties.

Luis Felipe Puente, national coordinator for Civil Protection, said the airlift would prioritize the elderly and people with health problems.

For some, it was a dream vacation turned nightmare.

Charly Park, 52, flew in from Los Angeles with his wife on Sunday, but they never even got to check into their room. Instead, they were put directly into the hotel shelter where they spent a hot, cramped night as the hurricane raged outside.

“It’s a horrible experience, no air conditioning, no fans ... the power lines all fell down,” Park said.

He was considering renting a car to drive to Tijuana, a little over 1,000 miles to the north, and cross the border back into California.

Emergency officials in Baja California reported that 135 people were

treated for minor injuries from flying glass or falling objects.

But surprisingly for a hurricane of this intensity — it made landfall as a monster Category 3 storm — there were no reports so far of fatalities directly related to Odile.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said that by late Tuesday afternoon Tropical Storm Odile had maximum sustained winds near 50 mph. It was centered about 150

miles south-southeast of Puerto Penasco, and was moving to the north near 7 mph.

Farther south in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Polo formed off southern Mexico early Tuesday. It was centered 260 miles south of Acapulco with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, and was moving northwest parallel to the coast at 12 mph. The hurricane center predicted that Polo could become a hurricane later in the week.

Builders’ confidence A key measure of U.S. homebuilders’ confidence has been pointing to more optimism among builders of late.

The key to being well liked is making yourself likable D E A R ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl.

When I’m with the high school group of kids at my church, Abigail I try to extend and Van Buren myself talk, but they never recipDear Abby rocate much.

I always have to try to think of something to say and be careful I don’t embarrass myself. Especially around guys, I feel awkward and self-conscious.

I feel OK about myself, but I still get nervous. Other girls find things to talk about to each other but not me, and guys never talk to me first, either. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or being too careful.

I’m an only child. I get along pretty well with adults, but I have a hard time with kids. I heard you have a booklet about these issues. If you think it might help me, how can I order it? -- UNPOPULAR IN SACRAMENTO DEAR UNPOPULAR: Part of your problem may be that you’re an only child, which can be isolating. If you spend most of your time with adults, it’s understandable that you are less comfortable with people your own age. But don’t let it stop you

from trying to be friendly. If guys don’t speak to you first, they’re probably feeling as awkward as you are. To smile and say hello is NOT being pushy. My booklet “How to Be Popular” is filled with suggestions for polishing social skills. It covers a variety of social situations and is meant for people of all ages. To order, send your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. There are tips for becoming the kind of person other people find interesting, attractive and want to know better. (If parents, teachers and clergy know someone needing help in this regard, it might make an inexpensive gift that could help change the course of that person’s life.)

The key to being well-liked by both sexes is: Be kind. Be honest. Be tactful. Don’t be afraid to give someone a compliment if you think it’s deserved. If you think you’re not beautiful (or handsome), be well-groomed, tastefully dressed, conscious of your posture. (People who stand tall and smile project self-confidence.)

If you’re not a “brain,” try harder. If you are smarter than most, don’t be a know-it-all. Ask other people what they think and en-

courage them to share their opinions. If you’re not a good athlete, be a good sport.

Think for yourself, but respect the rules. Be generous with kind words and affectionate gestures, but respect yourself and your family values always. If you think “putting out” will make boys like you, forget it. (It won’t work, and later you’ll be glad you didn’t.) If you need help, ask God. If you don’t need anything, THANK God! DEAR ABBY: I’m a 27-yearold male, and I have no clue how to read women’s subtle interest cues, if they ever display any. I’d like to think they have, given that I put in at least two days a week at the gym working with weights.

Since you are a woman, could you please be so kind as to give this man a clue what to look for?

Top Chase seed Brad Keselowski remains at the head of the 2014 Sprint Cup class

Brad Keselowski, who entered this year’s Chase for the Sprint Cup as the top-seeded driver, remains at the head of the class and is now assured of advancing to the Chase’s second round, after winning Sunday’s Chase opener at Chicagoland Speedway.

Keselowski started the MyAFibStory.com 400 from 25th place after qualifying was rained out and starting spots were set based on practice speeds. Then he suffered another setback when he had to make an extra pit stop to have a loose lug nut tightened.

Still, he appeared destined to finish behind the faster cars of Kyle Larson and Kevin Harvick. But three laps after a restart, at Lap 249 of 267, Larson went high racing for the lead while Harvick went low and Keselowski made a bold move to wedge his way between them. It worked, and he was able to drive away with his fifth win of the season. And with the new Chase rules, a win in one round of the Chase automatically advances a driver to the next round, no matter how he finishes in that round’s other two races.

“I just saw a hole, and I went for it,” he said. “The 4 (Harvick) and the 42 (Larson) were racing really hard, doing all the things they needed to do. It just opened a hole.

“I didn’t know if my car would stick or not, but I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t try it. I tried it; it did. That got us into the lead.”

Keselowski held the lead on one more restart, then drove away to victory while Larson and Jeff Gordon battled for second place behind him, with Gordon eventually taking the spot.

Keselowski cautioned that an early Chase win might not

“I want to enjoy the moment, but I still know there are nine weeks to go,” he said. “We have a bit of a hall pass for the next two, of which I’m very appreciative. But those other seven [races] — nobody cares that we won Chicago; nobody cares that we won Richmond or the other three races.

“It keeps resetting. You have to reset yourself. You have to keep developing the car and pushing as a team.”

Sprint Cup drivers dominate Nationwide Series and rain-delayed Camping World Truck Series races at Chicagoland Speedway

Sprint Cup drivers — as they usually do — dominated the preliminary races leading up to Sunday’s MyAFibStory.com 400 Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Kevin Harvick won Saturday’s Jimmy John’s Freaky Fast 300 Nationwide Series race after his crew chief, Ernie Cope, opted to take just two fresh tires on a late-race caution period, while Kyle Busch’s crew changed four, which mired him in traffic after leading a race-high 141 laps.

Harvick motored away on the restart and was comfortably ahead of runner-up Kyle Larson at the finish, with Busch advancing only to third place at the end.

It was Harvick’s fourth Nationwide win of the season and the 44th of his career.

“We didn’t have many laps on the tires, but that’s the call that won us the race,” Harvick said. “Ernie (Cope) won the race for us.”

Busch bounced back later in the day, coming from the back of the pack twice to win the rain-delayed Camping World Truck Series race at Chicagoland. It was his sixth Truck win of the season and 41st of his career.

Matt Crafton finished second and holds the series points lead Kevin Harvick won the Jimmy John’s Kyle Busch dominated the rain-deby five over second-place Johnny Sauter and is 16 points ahead Freaky Fast 300 Nationwide Series layed Camping World Truck Series of third-place Ryan Blaney. race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Lucas Oil 225 at Chicagoland.

For a few moments at the end of Sunday’s MyAFibStory.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway, the Chase for the Sprint Cup and the other drama of the day took a back seat to a conversation on pit road between Jeff Gordon and Kyle Larson.

Larson, the talented rookie, and Gordon, the veteran enjoying one of the best seasons of his long career, had just climbed from their cars after waging a tremendous battle, first for the win and later for second place.

Gordon eventually finished second with Larson just behind him in third.

As TV cameras focused in on them, Gordon leaned in to Larson and spoke words into the youngster’s ear that only the two of them were privy to. Larson nodded occasionally, and when they were done, both were asked about the conversation.

Gordon said he was simply passing along some wisdom to a driver he expects great things from in the future.

“I think this kid is the real deal,” Gordon said. “He’s going to be a star in this series for a long time. I really wanted to see him win because I like him and I know he’s going to win a lot of races, but I also didn’t want to see those other guys win.

“I’m a big fan. I like seeing young guys out there driving like that. That’s so much fun. That’s what this sport is all about. I just want to let him know what a great job I thought he did.”

Larson, while not revealing specifics, said Gordon advised him on how to be better on restarts in the future, especially when he’s at the head of the pack.

“I’m never on the front row, so I don’t know what to do,” he said. “He came down to give me some advice, which was nice. I know Jeff thinks a lot about me and I think a lot about him, too.

“Heck, Jeff has been racing the Cup Series as long as I’ve been alive. That’s just really cool that guys I’ve looked up to since forever are now talking about me and I’m racing them and battling for wins.”

He said he’d characterize his NASCAR career, which began at the relatively late age of 29, as a success.

“It has been fantastic,” he said. “I never thought I would achieve what I have at the Sprint Cup level. I have survived here for years, and I have had some wins — but not enough — and I feel like I was Marcos Ambrose will up against it early on, from my background. return to Australian “I came from a country that doesn’t V8 Supercars racing in have any asphalt oval racing at all, and Australia in 2015. so I feel like I have achieved a lot, and am really satisfied.”

Ambrose went on to say that he’s proud of his work at Petty’s team, which has improved its performance in the past two years and has one driver — Aric Almirola — in the Chase this year.

“I feel like I’ve left them better than when I entered with them,” he said. “I feel I’ve contributed to the turnaround. They are a great team that is moving forward with a car in the Chase this year, and we have won races.

“They are on a great path, and I wish them the best.”

Marcos Ambrose announces return to Australian V8 Supercars Championship Series Marcos Ambrose made it official last weekend at Chicagoland Speedway: He’s returning to his native Tasmania after the conclusion of the 2014 Sprint Cup season.

There he’ll return to the Australian V8 Supercars Championship Series and drive for a team fielded by Team Penske and Dick Johnson Racing.

Ambrose was the best-known and one of the most successful drivers in Australia back in 2006 when he gave it up to come to America and try to make a go of it in NASCAR. With backing from Ford Motor Company and others, he started in the Camping World Truck Series and moved to the Nationwide Series in 2007, and in 2008 he started in Cup, where he has been a full-time driver since 2009.

Along the way, the 37-year-old driver of the No. 9 Ford at Richard Petty Motorsports has become one of NASCAR’s best road racers, but has not enjoyed that same success on the oval tracks that dominate the Sprint Cup series. He has seven career wins in NASCAR — two of them in Cup, and all of them on road courses.

“First of all, I need to thank everybody at Richard Petty Motorsports — it has been a great four years together,” Ambrose said in making the announcement. “The time is just right for me to stop.

I feel like the timing is right for myself and my family to return to Australia, and that is what we are going to do.”

Ambrose said getting to drive Australia’s best-known race car wasn’t the only factor in his decision.

“There has been a lot of conjecture through the years, but I just want to get my kids home to enjoy the Australian lifestyle as well, so they can make a good choice when they grow up,” he said. “This

Bold moves keep Keselowski at the top after first Chase race Points standings and race results from Sunday’s MyAFibStory.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway: 1. BRAD KESELOWSKI (finished first) 2,059 points It usually takes bold moves to win races and championships, and the race winner made the boldest of all to take the lead from Kevin Harvick and Kyle Larson and win the Chase opener.

2. JEFF GORDON (finished second) 2,052 points; behind -7 His march toward a fifth championship is off to a fast start, as he was strong all day and contended for the win up to the end.

3. JOEY LOGANO (finished fourth) 2,049 points; behind -10 He had speed all day, and luck when it counted. He finished fourth even with a blown engine on the last lap. It was his seventh finish of sixth or better in the last eight races.

4. KEVIN HARVICK (finished fifth) 2,047 points; behind -12 His car was fast again as he led three times for 79 laps, but faded a bit at the finish. “It’s a solid start to the Chase,” he said.

5. DALE EARNHARDT JR. (finished 11th) 2,042 points; behind -17 His car performed poorly in practice, but he was able to salvage a decent finish and remain in the running to advance to the next Chase round.

6. DENNY HAMLIN (finished sixth) 2,041 points; behind -18 A solid but not spectacular day left him in good shape pointswise. “This is what you need to do early on,” he said. “You’re going to have to run top-5 pretty consistently toward the end of the Chase.”

7. KYLE BUSCH (finished seventh) 2,041 points; behind -18 He overcame some mid-race setbacks largely due to a decision to put on four fresh tires with nine laps to go. That allowed him to move from 14th to seventh.

8. JIMMIE JOHNSON (finished 12th) 2,041 points; behind -18 The question of whether the six-time champion is off his usual pace remains unanswered after a so-so start to the Chase.

9. KURT BUSCH (finished eighth) 2,039 points; behind -20 He overcame a spin entering pit road and the ensuing penalty for striking the pit road entrance cone, only to have a late-race fender bender with his brother, Kyle.

13. RYAN NEWMAN (finished 15th) 2,029 points; behind -30 Flat tires put him three laps down at one point, but he rebounded to finish on the lead lap. He’ll need strong finishes at New Hampshire and Dover to remain in the title hunt.

10. MATT KENSETH (finished 10th) 2,034 points; behind -25 He’s still trying to regain his winning form of a year ago. “We just weren’t very good,” he said. “We just got too tight and were slow on short runs and long runs.”

14. A.J. ALLMENDINGER (finished 22nd) 2,025 points; behind -34 He battled a broken shifter and other issues to post his best finish in the past three races, but that’s not good enough to advance to the next Chase round.

11. KASEY KAHNE (finished 13th) 2,034 points; behind -25 He won at Atlanta Motor Speedway — a similar track — to earn a spot in the Chase, but he didn’t have the right combination at Chicagoland.

15. GREG BIFFLE (finished 23rd) 2,021 points; behind -38 An ill-handling car, coupled with long green-flag runs that took away chances to come to pit road and adjust the chassis, put him two laps down and out of contention for the finish he needed.

12. CARL EDWARDS (finished 20th) 2,030 points; behind -29 A lackluster performance limits his Chase chances. “For us to advance, we are going to have to rely on other people making some mistakes,” he said.

16. ARIC ALMIROLA (finished 41st) 2,007 points; behind -52 He appeared poised to finish strong in the No. 43 made famous by team owner Richard Petty, but his engine blew while he was running sixth, and now he’s in a deep points hole with only two races to recover.

Brett Thompson was selected as the Mississippi As-

he did in the second half really propelled us to the win.”

Northeast trailed visiting Northwest Mississippi Community College 19-0 early in the third quarter before Thompson engineered an amazing comeback that caused the matchup into overtime.

Miss. State tries ending skid vs. LSU

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State has an ugly history against LSU during the past two decades.

The Bulldogs have lost 14 in a row in the series dating back to 1999 and 21 of 22 since the Southeastern Conference split into two divisions in 1992.

The dubious stretch has

featured a few close losses and even more embarrassing blowouts. Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen says none of them will be relevant when the Bulldogs (3-0) travel to face No. 8 LSU (3-0) on Saturday.

“All that matters is this week,” Mullen said. “Every game that’s ever been played there has no impact on this game. Every game that we’ve

played against them has no impact on this game. Every game we’ll play against them in the future has no impact on this game. It’s all about this week, our focus and our execution.”

A win against LSU wouldn’t just end a lengthy losing streak. It would also help prove that Mullen’s program can hang with the Western Division’s best programs.

His six-year tenure at Mississippi State has been remarkably predictable: The Bulldogs almost always handle the teams they’re supposed to beat and almost always lose to the SEC’s elite.

Mullen has a 1-16 combined record against Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Texas A&M. Ending the streak against Please see SKID | 13A

Nationals clinch another NL East title Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Washington Nationals are again champions of the NL East, wrapping up their second division title in three years against the team that knocked them out of the top spot last season.

Tanner Roark pitched fivehit ball over seven innings,

Ian Desmond’s two-run homer broke a scoreless tie and the Nationals celebrated another trip to the playoffs with a 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

The clinching victory was especially sweet coming against the Braves, who finished 10 games ahead of the

Nationals in 2013. The roles were reserved this season as Washington steadily pulled away down the stretch.

Atlanta lost for the 11th time in 14 games, further damaging its hopes of making a third straight playoff appearance as a wild card.

The Braves dropped to 75-76

with their fifth straight loss, the first time they have been under .500 since losing on opening day to Milwaukee.

er, Jamia Kirk and Anna Kayte Webb combined for seven of Corinthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine hits, with Vandiverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hat trick leading the way.

Kirk accounted for the Lady Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two extra base hits with a double and a triple.

Corinth steps out of league play on Thursday, hosting Mooreville.

AWARD CONTINUED FROM 12A

on a spiraling pass from Thompson for a 33yard touchdown that cut Northwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage to 19-13 by the end of the third.

The Olive Branch native brought the contest into a deadlock at 1919 midway through the fourth with a 25-yard scoring toss to LaVontis Smith. Neither squad mustered any more points during regulation following Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third touchdown of the half to force an extra period.

It took only three plays for the Tigers to score the game winner after the Rangers missed a 40-yard field goal try during their possession.

Thompson found Smith in the back corner of the end zone for a touchdown that sent Northeastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student-athletes and coaches into a triumphant celebration.

Thompson led the Tigers to 25 unanswered points and the first overtime win on record in program history by going 8 of 14 through the air following the intermission for 169 yards and four scores.

He accumulated a career-high 203 yards,

which was the most by any Northeast signal caller since current University of Arizona standout Jerrard Randall tallied 206 yards at Northwest last season. Thompson also held a solid quarterback rating of 169.1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels great. I have to give the credit to the team,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ball was coming out really good and I had great confidence in my abilities to make all the throws. We got the job done and executed.â&#x20AC;?

The Lake Cormorant High School product is currently tied for fourth in the league with five touchdown passes through three outings.

Thompson holds a 48.1 completion percentage and averages 5.8 yards per attempt.

He has found nine separate wideouts so far during this campaign with Donta Armstrong and Smith accounting for 10 catches apiece.

Thompson is fifth among all MACJC members with 38 successful passes and sixth in total yards at 456. Thompson is now eligible for honors by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), which announces its countrywide awards on Wednesday.

The Nationals finally broke through in the sixth off Aaron Harang (11-11).

After Jayson Werth led off with a walk, Adam LaRoche took a called third strike before Harang worked the count to 2-2 on Desmond.

The next pitch was a breaking pitch that stayed up in the zone. Desmond

got all of it, sending a drive deep into the leftfield seats for his 23rd homer of the season. Left fielder Justin Upton barely moved, while Harang pumped his fist angrily on the mound.

Desmond scored another run in the ninth, trotting home on David Carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild pitch.

CDC study: Americans’ bellies are expanding fast The Associated Press

CHICAGO — The number of American men and women with big-bellied, apple-shaped figures — the most dangerous kind of obesity — has climbed at a startling rate over the past decade, according to a government study.

People whose fat has settled mostly around their waistlines instead of in their hips, thighs, buttocks or all over are known to run a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and other obesityrelated ailments.

Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults suffer from abdominal obesity, up from 46 percent in 1999-2000, researchers reported in Tuesday’s Journal of the

American Medical Association. Abdominal obesity is defined as a waistline of more than 35 inches in women and more than 40 inches in men.

During the 12-year period studied, the average waist size in the U.S. expanded to 38 inches for women and 40 inches for men.

“The increase is a concern. There’s no question about that,” said Dr. William Dietz, an obesity expert formerly with the federal Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, now at George Washington University.

The expansion in waistlines came even as the overall level of obesity — as defined not by waist

size but by body mass index, of BMI, a weight-toheight ratio — held fairly steady.

“What it suggests is that even though the obesity rate may be stable, fat distribution may be changing, which would mean that we shouldn’t be complacent about the plateau,” said Dietz, who was not involved in the study.

Dr. Earl Ford, a CDC researcher and the study’s lead author, said the seemingly contradictory trends are puzzling.

He said it could be that Americans are exercising less and getting flabby.

But because fat weighs less than muscle, they are not necessarily getting heavier.

The study cites other possible reasons for the increase in belly fat, including sleep deprivation and certain medicines.

Also, researchers said the increase might be related to pesticides, the plastics additive BPA and other chemicals that mimic hormones that can affect weight. But the connection is speculative and unproven.

Belly fat not only makes people look apple-shaped but often means fat has built up deep inside the body, around the liver and other abdominal organs.

Compared with fat that lies closer to the surface, this “visceral” fat secretes lower levels of beneficial

hormones and higher levels of inflammatory substances linked to obesityrelated ailments, Dr. Lisa Neff, an obesity specialist at Northwestern University. She was not involved in the study.

“In people of the same weight, the person who carries weight around the middle is going to have higher risks” of obesityrelated ailments, Neff said.

By 2011-12, the last year studied, 44 percent of men suffered from abdominal obesity, up from 37 percent. The trend was more pronounced among women: By 201112, about two-thirds of all women were affected, up from just over half in

1999-2000.

The researchers analyzed data from CDC health surveys and inperson exams. Adults’ average age during those years was 45.

Previously released data from the same surveys indicate that about 35 percent of U.S. adults are obese, a level that hasn’t budged much in recent years. Those surveys define obesity as a BMI of at least 30. For example, someone who is 5-foot-4 — the average U.S. woman’s height — would be obese at 175 pounds.

Ford said that for both kinds of obesity, the bottom-line message for patients is probably the same: diet and exercise.

Wind-driven wildfire engulfs homes in a California town The Associated Press

WEED, Calif. — Aided by calmer winds and another day of fire-retardant bomber sorties, firefighters mopped up Tuesday around the smoldering remains of 100 structures, most of them homes, after a wind-driven wildfire raced through a hillside neighborhood and forced more than 1,000 people to flee this small town near the Oregon border.

As crews put out remaining embers, the people of Weed wandered through scorched

neighborhoods covered in pink fire retardant that had been dropped by firefighting airplanes, taking photos and video. More planes roared overhead.

Some homes were burned to the ground, with only chimneys left standing. Broken water pipes spurted over the blackened landscape.

The remnants of the Holy Family Catholic Church were still smoking, marked by twisted metal girders lying on the ground. Across the street, the Presbyterian Church

also burned.

The fast-moving blaze, which began Monday, was among nearly a dozen wildfires burning in California that have been exacerbated by the state’s third straight year of drought. The tinder-dry conditions have sent firefighters scrambling from blaze to blaze, almost nonstop.

Two fires, one near Yosemite National Park in central California and another east of Sacramento, also led hundreds of people to evacuate their homes.

In Weed, residents said they had just minutes before the flames engulfed them. Dan Linville and his son were sitting in their living room when they smelled smoke.

Looking outside, they saw a black cloud coming over the hills.

A mere 10 minutes later, the wildfire driven

by fierce winds raced through their neighborhood, missing them by three houses and torching a roof across the street.

No deaths or injuries were reported, but the Linvilles figure a quarter of the town burned.

“It’s horrible,” said Linville, 80. “I’ve got tears in my heart for all these people that I know who lost their homes.”

Fire crews had a handle on the 375-acre fire Tuesday morning after it showed little growth overnight. It was 20 percent contained.

This scenic town of nearly 3,000 near the base of Mount Shasta in the Cascade Mountains had been under siege from the blaze. The fire erupted south of Weed, and winds gusting up to 40 mph pushed it into town, where flames mowed through a hillside neighborhood.

Parts of the town’s wood-products mill also caught fire.

“It ran basically right through the east side of town. At the peak, essentially the entire town was evacuated,” state fire spokesman Robert Foxworthy said.

Blowing embers started fires as much as a halfmile ahead of the fire front, and 1,500 to 2,000 people were told to evacuate, said Allison Giannini, spokeswoman for the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Department.

The winds began to ease late in the day, and the fire’s pace slowed.

Winds were expected to be calmer on Tuesday.

When the fire alarm went off at Weed High School, students thought they were shuffling to the campus baseball field for a fire drill.

“We eventually got out there and saw a big cloud of smoke,” freshman Violet Carter said. “That whole hill was on fire.”

Randy Coates, who rushed to pick up his daughter when the high school was evacuated, said he saw the town’s Catholic and Presbyterian churches, houses and backyards on fire. Driving by the wood-products mill, he saw piles of wood chips burning.

Weed, historically a lumber town, was named

after the founder of a mill, Abner Weed, who “discovered that the area’s strong winds were helpful in drying lumber,” according to the town’s website.

Meanwhile, firefighters were trying to gain better access to two raging wildfires that broke out Sunday, including one in central California that destroyed 61 structures — 33 of them homes.

The fire near a foothill community south of an entrance to Yosemite National Park burned 320 acres, and it was 40 percent contained. About 600 residents from 200 homes remained evacuated, Madera County sheriff’s spokeswoman Erica Stuart said.

The fire started off a road outside of Oakhurst, near Yosemite, and spread to Bass Lake, a popular year-round destination. Its cause was under investigation.

The blaze is the latest to hit the area, which is still reeling from another fire near downtown Oakhurst that destroyed eight structures earlier this summer.

“I really feel for this community, which has already been through a lot,” state fire spokesman Dennis Mathisen said. “This is yet another example of how the damaging effect of this drought has impacted California.”

U.S. to assign 3,000 from military to fight Ebola The Associated Press

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Under pressure to boost the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis, President Barack Obama is ordering 3,000 military personnel to West Africa amid worries that the financial and human cost of the outbreak is rapidly growing.

The military response is part of a heightened U.S. role that will include erecting new treatment and isolation facilities, training health care workers and increasing communications and transportation support, officials said.

Obama was announcing the stepped-up effort Tuesday during a visit to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta following appeals for a greater U.S. effort to confront the crisis and alarm that the Ebola virus could spread and even mutate into a more easily transmitted disease.

The president said the CDC was â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the

crown jewelsâ&#x20AC;? in fighting disease and that the outbreak had provided a timely opportunity for him to thank everyone there for extraordinary efforts. Obama was joined at the meeting by National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the 3,000 troops would not provide direct care to Ebola patients. A substantial number will be stationed at an intermediate base in Senegal, Earnest said, with others at locations in Liberia where they will provide logistical, training, engineering and other support.

The World Health Organization warned that the number of Ebola cases in West Africa could start doubling every three weeks and that the crisis could end up costing nearly $1 billion to contain.

Joanne Liu, president of Doctors Without Borders, said the global response

was falling short. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The window of opportunity to contain this outbreak is closing,â&#x20AC;? Liu told a meeting Tuesday at the United Nations in Geneva.

Nearly 5,000 people have become ill from Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria and Senegal since it was first recognized in March.

WHO says it anticipates that figure could rise to more than 20,000. At least 2,400 people have died, with Liberia bearing the brunt.

With the addition of military personnel, administration officials said that the new U.S. initiatives aim to: â&#x2013; Train as many as 500 health care workers a week. â&#x2013; Erect 17 heath care facilities in Liberia of 100 beds each. â&#x2013; Set up a joint command headquartered in Monrovia, Liberia, to coordinate between U.S. and international relief efforts. â&#x2013; Provide home health

care kits to hundreds of thousands of households, including 50,000 that the U.S. Agency for International Development will deliver to Liberia this week. â&#x2013; Carry out a home- and community-based campaign to train local populations on how to handle exposed patients.

Meanwhile, a Senate panel held an afternoon hearing on the crisis. Expected to testify were Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Kent Brantly, an American physician who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia but recovered after treatment with an experimental drug. Obama met with Brantly at the White House on Tuesday before departing for Atlanta.

At the hearing, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, declared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This outbreak has spread in ways that are potentially catastrophic for the world.â&#x20AC;?

Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said urgent action was needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must take the dangerous, deadly threat of the Ebola epidemic as seriously as we take ISIS,â&#x20AC;? he said, referring to the extremist group in Syria and Iraq.

Separately, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a bit surprised the administration hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t acted more quickly to address what is a serious threat, not just to Africa but to others across the world.â&#x20AC;?

He predicted action â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the coming weeksâ&#x20AC;? by the executive and legislative branches of government â&#x20AC;&#x153;to look at how do we best contain this very horrible disease.â&#x20AC;?

Obama administration officials said money for the stepped-up effort to combat the disease would come from $500 million in overseas contingency operations, such as the war in Afghanistan, that the Pentagon already has asked Congress to redirect to carry out humani-

tarian efforts in Iraq and in West Africa. Officials said it would take about two weeks to get U.S. forces on the ground.

Ebola is spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of sick patients, making doctors and nurses especially vulnerable to contracting the virus, which has no vaccine or approved treatment.

The U.S. effort will include medics and corpsmen for treatment and training, engineers to help erect the treatment facilities and specialists in logistics to assist in patient transportation.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip came a day after the United States also demanded a stepped-up international response to the outbreak.

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, called Monday for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Thursday, warning that the potential risk of the virus could â&#x20AC;&#x153;set the countries of West Africa back a generation.â&#x20AC;?

House panel report says safety agency mishandled GM recall The Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The agency responsible for safety on the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads was years late in detecting a deadly problem with General Motors cars and lacks the expertise to oversee increasingly complex vehicles, congressional Republicans charged in a report Tuesday.

The report by a House committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GOP majority raised serious questions about the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to keep the public safe, and came as the Senate convened a hearing on the safety agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short-

comings.

Safety regulators should have discovered GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faulty ignition switches seven years before the company recalled 2.6 million cars to fix the deadly problem, the report concluded.

It also said the agency didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how air bags worked, lacked accountability and failed to share information internally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As vehicle functions and safety systems become increasingly complex and interconnected, NHTSA needs to keep pace with these rapid advancements in technol-

ogy,â&#x20AC;? the report said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As evidenced by the GM recall, this may be a greater challenge than even NHTSA understands.â&#x20AC;?

At least 19 people died in crashes caused by the faulty switches in GM small cars like the Chevrolet Cobalt. The company acknowledged knowing about the problem for at least a decade, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall the cars until February. The delays left the problem on the roads, causing numerous crashes that resulted in deaths and injuries. Lawmakers have said they expect the death toll to rise to near 100.

NHTSA already has fined GM the maximum $35 million for failing to report information on the switches, but the committee found that many of the bureaucratic snafus that plagued GM also are present at NHTSA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While NHTSA now complains about GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s switch, it seems NHTSA was asleep at the switch too,â&#x20AC;? Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., said in a statement.

NHTSA blamed GM for the delays and said many problems cited by the committee were fixed in a 2011 review. GM, the agency said, hid information by fixing switches

without changing the part numbers, causing the number of complaints about the switches to decline and skewing data.

The agency said it has a strong record of pursuing defects, influencing almost 1,300 recalls covering 95 million vehicles and parts in the last decade. NHTSA also said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s using sophisticated tools to search for defects and it has an improved complaint-tracking process. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also discussing with Congress the need for more investigators.

At the Senate hearing Tuesday, David Friedman, acting administra-

tor of the NHTSA, took exception to an assertion

by Sen. Dean Heller, RNev., that GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to share key information with NHTSA was due to incompetence rather than intent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simply incompetence on their part,â&#x20AC;? Friedman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were actively trying to hide the ball. NHTSA was working to find the ball.â&#x20AC;?

Heller and Senate Democrat Claire McCaskill of Missouri called on the White House to name a permanent chief of NHTSA, saying it will be hard for an interim chief to lead reforms.

Fall mums provide an instant, colorful impact

Photos by Gary Bachman/MSU Extension Service

The many warm colors of mums fit in almost any home color scheme. They have an immediate impact with their plentiful blooms.

Nature always gives us signals as seasons change. When summer starts to shift toward fall, the leaves begin to change colors. Another sure sign that fall is right around the corner is the arrival of colorful and beautiful fall mums in garden centers.

Now is the time to plan how and where to use these plants effectively around your home and landscape. A newer trend for growers is to mix colors in containers, so be ready for even more decisions.

It’s easy to incorp o r a t e fall garden mums into the landscape.

Gary Their many Bachman warm colors fit into Southern Gardening almost any home color scheme.

They seem to have hundreds of flowers, so their impact is immediate.

I consider fall mums a useful bridge between the summer and fall seasons.

After the hot summer we ended up with, summer annuals are looking pretty rough, and fall annuals aren’t quite ready yet. Fall mums are an easy and reliable display of color for our current in-between period.

Choose mums in full flower to have an instant impact on any autumn get-together or event. I like to select plants that still have tight buds and are just starting to show color. This increases their period of showy display as the buds begin to open after they are in my yard.

Your local garden center will have a wide variety of pot sizes available.

Using 4-inch pots is an easy way to refresh a combination container that is tired from the long summer. A great combination is Gulf Muhly grass -- the 2010 Mississippi Medallion native winner -- surrounded by rusty-orange fall mums. Or you can create a new combination container with mums as the fillers and corkscrew willow stems as the thriller component.

Pot sizes of 10 inches, 12 inches or larger work well for big projects or standalone specimens. Always check with your local garden center for size availability. If they don’t have mums in the size you want, many can order them for you and have them ready in a couple of days.

My favorite use for fall garden mums is to dis-

play them on the front porch. When combined with a decorative ceramic container, their visual impact can be dramatic.

There is no need to transplant; just slip the mum, container and all, into the larger pot. If you are worried about the weight of some ceramic pots, choose one of the fabulous foam and plastic pots that really look like their heavier cousins.

A word of caution is needed: Always keep the soil consistently moist for mums. If the containers dry out, the flower show will quickly fade away.

Fall mums are usually treated as seasonal annuals. Gardeners remove them when the flowers have faded and replace them with the next season’s flowers. But have you considered transplanting them into your garden when the flowers fade?

Most of our fall mums have been bred for their colors and are not coldhardy, even in coastal Mississippi. Several years ago, I transplanted a range of gorgeous colors into my garden, and only a purple variety over-wintered successfully.

So don’t expect too much, but consider giving it a try. I think transplanting into the garden is worthwhile since you compost the plants anyway. Try planting them in a raised bed for better soil drainage in the winter months. After the first freeze, cut the stems back and mulch with a layer of pine straw. Next spring, pull back the pine straw and take a look for signs of new growth.

If they survived, you have a new plant to enjoy in your garden.

Abusive husband thinks he’s perfect WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married more than 40 years. He rarely calls me by my name and never uses terms of endearment.

He just talks at me. I’ve put up with his emotional neglect and his forcing me to have sex when I didn’t want to. He’s had so many affairs, I have lost count.

He has refused to do any repairs to our home except for the cheapest kind. He also built a garage as big as our house, and it’s so filled with junk that there is barely enough room for the cars. He also piles junk in the house.

This man is a scoutmaster, and everyone thinks he is a saint. He was on a nearby campout, and when I came home last night and turned on the kitchen lights, sparks shot out everywhere and all the electricity went off. I called my husband and told him he had to come fix it. He came home and played with the fuse box and then said I had to call an electrician. He said he was going back to camp.

But he didn’t. I called him after he left — and long after he should have returned to the campsite — but he still wasn’t there. He said he had just reached the town limits.

When I asked where he had been all this time, he made up some flimsy excuse. What can I do? — No

Annie’s Mailbox Lights Dear No Lights: You can ask yourself why you are still with a man who neglects you, physically assaults you, has multiple affairs and can’t even bother to keep his home in good repair.

We would consider this an abusive relationship.

You cannot force your husband to be a decent man. You can, however, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800799-SAFE and also get counseling for yourself. Ask your doctor to refer you.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Arizona,” whose friend “Mary” had cut off their friendship after 30 years because Arizona didn’t use her mortgage lender. In your response, you said Mary is high maintenance, emotionally demanding, etc.

When I read the letter, I judged her to be getting a kickback from the mortgage lender.

Second, why is the name “Mary” used so often when things are bad? After all,

there is a famous Mary from the Bible. — Mary B. Dear Mary: To answer your first comment, we agree that Mary may have been getting a kickback, but it doesn’t make her any less high maintenance.

“Arizona” said Mary had used this type of emotional blackmail in the past.

As to your second question, we don’t deliberately use the name “Mary” to indicate anything negative.

We use the pretend names the readers give us or create our own to disguise the identities of the people involved. Mary is a popular and common name, so it pops up a lot, and because most people write us when they have a problem, it would stand to reason that many nasty things involve “Mary.”

But we think you’re a peach, so we’ll try not to use it too often.
