Shhh
Group provides meals, blessings BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Before sitting down to their own Thanksgiving meal, a group of Corinthians gathered to give others a reason to be thankful on Thursday. First Presbyterian Church members and friends assembled and delivered 1,000 Thanksgiving meals to people in need. It is the 27th year the congregation has shared its blessings on Thanksgiving. “I really love the event because it’s a different kind of fellowship for us as well as being a great time of outreach into the community,” said

“For a lot of these people, this has become part of their Thanksgiving tradition.”
Alcorn County unemployment held at 5.3 percent in October while showing improvement from the prior year. The rate was 6.4 percent in October 2014. The current rate gives the county a rank of 10th among the 82 counties. Mississippi’s not seasonally adjusted rate was unchanged
at 5.9 percent. October brought 64 first claims for unemployment insurance in Alcorn County, compared to 60 a year ago. Continued claims numbered 386, down from 486 a year ago. The county had 840 categorized as unemployed for the Please see JOBLESS | 3A
Corinth Ballet prepares for ‘The Nutcracker’ BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
Twirling and leaping into their third full-scale production of “The Nutcracker,” the dancers of the Corinth Ballet are busy painting back-drops, fitting costumes and fine-tuning their choreography. “Ballet is an art-form which takes a great deal of time and discipline to master,” said Executive Director Crystal Sweeney Scarbrough. “Many don’t realize the level of skill, artistry and commitment needed to become a ballerina or danseur until they take a class themselves.” With a shelf-life of only 38 hours, give or take according to brand, dancers are hard on their feet and can tear through 16 or more pairs of ballet slip-
pers in under a year’s time. “Gaynor Minden’s have a much longer shelf-life and have been deemed ‘The unbreakable shoes’ but you have to travel to Memphis in order to get them properly fitted because they have to mold them to your feet,” said Scarbrough. “The leads in our production must all be fitted for their shoes which takes a minimum of two hours and costs around $120 each. That’s not including the price of gas and other travel expenses. We hope to start fitting shoes here in Corinth within the next two years.” “It is very important to make sure you are ready to be on pointe which is flat across your tip-toes. Anything else is considered to be demi-pointe,” continued Scarbrough as she flexed a
ballet flat to reinforce her explanation. “Those who rush and try pointe shoes before they are ready often break their ankles and suffer serious damage to their feet. Therefore, it is a requirement that all dancers in the Corinth Ballet must first see a podiatrist to make sure they aren’t going to hurt themselves. We also prefer the girls wear their hair Please see NUTCRACKER | 2A Staff photo by Kimberly Shelton

Excellence. “It will just take place during a different block of time.” Some of the ways to decrease noise in the hospital during the time include: ■ Minimizing overhead paging ■ Changing pages/ phones to vibrate ■ Diming of lights throughout the unit ■ Closing of doors ■ Limiting of clinical interventions or interruptions to emergencies only ■ Television volume will be turned down or off ■ No cleaning of patient rooms “The noise level in a hospital has always been a problem.” said Patient Advocate/Customer Service Data Analyst Ronda Moon. “Everything is
magnified especially at night … our goal is to give our patients some peace and quiet during their stay.” Some members of the hospital staff have been auditing areas to help with the campaign. “There are several little things we have talked with maintenance about to make sure patients are getting the rest they need while here,” said Nash. “We are listening to our patients,” added Clinical Director of Cardiology Services Stacie Mitchell of surveys submitted from those who completed a stay at the hospital. Magnolia Regional Health Center found that a “quiet environment is a healing environment” during its survey of patients. “Noise is such a stressor for patients that it is
proven to be detrimental to their healing,” said Moon. “Sleep is an important part of their recovery and we need to do everything possible to ensure our patients get as much rest as they can.” Risks associated with noise in a healthcare environment are: ■ Sleep deprivation ■ Increased anxiety ■ Increase of noise-induced stress ■ A “startle reflex” resulting in physiological responses ■ Increase in blood pressure ■ Higher respiratory rate ■ Increased heart rate and vasoconstriction “At the end of the day this is the right thing to do,” said Nowlin. “Meeting the expectations of patients is what this is all about.”

up in a bun as it allows us to see the base of their spines.” Beginning with a jazz warm-up, the dancers stretched and limbered up before moving to the bar to practice their techniques. “It takes 300 muscles to hold your posture correctly and ballet engages all 300,” said the executive director as she demonstrated the proper way to do adagio which is defined as a slow, graceful movement. “Anyone can kick their legs into the air, but balancing on one leg, lifting it up slowly behind you, as high as you can and back down again requires a great deal of poise and control.” Not unlike athletes, ballet dancers must wear the proper gear in order to protect themselves. With nothing but an elastic band and ribbon to keep their shoes in place, it becomes necessary to wear a small gel or silicone insert in their shoes. “That’s all the padding they have which isn’t very much,” said the ballet coach. “Despite the inserts, dancers are always doing damage to their feet.” “During last year’s production of the ‘The Nutcracker’, Clara’s shoes broke just two days before the show and her feet were bleeding during the performance. We’ve also had toenails pulled off and elastic bands snapped.” Viewing their callouses and corns as though they were shining badges of honor, the ballet often holds ugly foot contests in which the dancer with the most revolting feet reigns supreme. In keeping with the mindset that true beauty requires sacrifice, one dancer revealed her worst nightmare to be a trip to the beauty salon in which all her callouses were sanded off. “I was freaking out because I earned those cal-

A 2 p.m. matinée will also be held on Sunday, Dec. 13. Featuring a cast of 38 children from ages three to new adult volunteers, the presentation will be a feast for the eyes, filled with glittering snowflakes, exotic personalities and animated toys and mice. “We are currently in our third year of performing “The Nutcracker” and have every intention of continuing,” said Scarbrough. “The dancers grow and improve each year and our costumes are brighter than ever be-

fore.” In addition to graceful dances and classical music, the show will as always, include theatrical surprises. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children. They are available for purchase at Medical Plaza & Gooseberry Yogurt, Rowan House, smith. and Turning Pointe Dance Academy. As with the last production, a portion of the ticket sales will be donated to the Lighthouse Foundation with Modern Woodmen of America matching the funds this year. “The rest of the proceeds will benefit underprivileged dancers in our area, allowing them to train and learn this beautiful art form,” said the dance instructor as she supervised the setup of her next scene. “The Corinth Ballet wants every child to have a chance to learn and grow. Many of the dancers who perform some of our leading roles benefit from this. It allows us to continue to put this production together every year.” “The cast I work with and their parents are phenomenal. Their dedication and drive is amazing to me. They truly love this production as do I,” she added. “I have witnessed at 12-year-old girl opt out of a trip to an amusement park because she had to dance. I see their work ethic and commitment grow in them each year.” A tradition for many cities, Scarbrough hopes it will become one for Corinth as well. “We are still struggling to let everyone know this is not a recital, but a fullscale show complete with fog machines and snow being blown across the stage,” she said. “It’s an exciting, fun show that has something for everyone.”

Today is Friday, Nov. 27, the 331st day of 2015. There are 34 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 27, 1945, General George C. Marshall was named special U.S. envoy to China by President Harry S. Truman to try to end hostilities between the Nationalists and the Communists.
On this date: In 1815, the constitution for the Congress Kingdom of Poland was signed by Russian Czar Alexander I, who was also king of Poland. In 1901, the U.S. Army War College was established in Washington, D.C. In 1924, Macy’s first Thanksgiving Day parade — billed as a “Christmas Parade” — took place in New York. In 1939, the play “Key Largo,” by Maxwell Anderson, opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York. In 1942, during World War II, the Vichy French navy scuttled its ships and submarines in Toulon to keep them out of the hands of German troops. In 1955, Swiss composer Arthur Honegger, 63, died in Paris. In 1962, the first Boeing 727 was rolled out at the company’s Renton Plant. In 1973, the Senate voted 92-3 to confirm Gerald R. Ford as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew, who’d resigned. In 1978, San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, a gay-rights activist, were shot to death inside City Hall by former supervisor Dan White. In 1983, 181 people were killed when a Colombian Avianca Airlines Boeing 747 crashed near Madrid’s Barajas airport. In 1989, a bomb blamed on drug traffickers destroyed a Colombian Avianca Boeing 727, killing all 107 people on board and three people on the ground.
Tish beaver control program extended TISHOMINGO COUNTY — The 2016 Tishomingo County Beaver Control program sign-up period has been extended through Dec. 31. Any landowner in Tishomingo County is eligible for the costshare program setup by the Tishomingo County Board of Supervisors.
Hospital named top performer by panel COLUMBUS — Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle has been named a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures by the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission recognized the hospital for exemplary performance in using evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care
for certain conditions. The recognition is based on accountability measure data reported to The Joint Commission during the previous calendar year. Forty-two hospitals in Mississippi submitted data, and only 10 received the Top Performer distinction. Baptist Golden Triangle was recognized for top performance in six areas: heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, surgical care, stroke and immunization. This is the fourth year that Baptist Golden Triangle has been recognized as a Top Performer.
Alderman speaks out on road closure FINGER, Tenn. — Closed for months, the Droke Road bridge has hundreds of drivers taking detours.
Residents tell WBBJTV they want to know when the temporary dead end will reopen. The bridge residents say is more than 50 years old is eroded. Alderman Rodney Weaver said the bridge also has rotten wood. Weaver said the bridge isn’t safe for travel anymore. Despite a road closure sign being posted, several drivers were seen driving over the decaying structure while our news crew was shooting video. Weaver said the main reason the bridge is closed is financial. He said the town doesn’t have the extra funds for repairs. Estimated costs to repair the bridge are around $12,000, according to Weaver. Alderman Weaver said the town is considering all options for repairs. It’s unclear when or if
the road will reopen, according to officials.
Bake sale raises funds for museum COLUMBUS — The 55th annual Old Country Store Bake Sale to benefit the Stephen D. Lee Home and Museum was held early this week in Columbus. Cooks filled the home with sweets of all kinds, rolls and breads, and cheese sticks and other holiday treats. The goal this year was $5,500 to support the home which was built by Stephen D. Lee, a Confederate general, politician and the first president at what is now Mississippi State University.

Poor to receive Town welcomes Syrian refugees more legal help Associated Press
Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — Law students will be able to do more legal work for poor Mississippi residents under a rule recently approved by the state Supreme Court. Students attending law schools in other states and those who are not getting course credit for the work can now help attorneys representing people who cannot pay, said Tiffany Graves, executive director of the state’s Access to Justice Commission. The new rule will provide immediate and long-term benefits, said Professor Meta Copeland, director of experiential learning at Mississippi College School of Law. “More law students can now assist lowincome clients with legal issues,” she said in a news release from the state court system. “More lawyers will accept pro bono cases with the assistance of a limited practice student at
no cost.” The new rule supplants a state law which also allowed only state or legal services employees to supervise the student workers. Now such services can be provided as part of a clinical legal education course, law school legal internship program, or through a volunteer legal services program under the supervision of licensed attorneys, Graves said. Graves said the students cannot represent clients directly, but may only help a supervising attorney or teacher. The rule was approved Nov. 19 and took effect immediately. Students must have completed one-half of the course hours required for graduation if their work is part of a clinical legal education course. If they’re working as interns or for a volunteer program, they must have completed two-thirds of the hours required to graduate.
LOUISE, Miss. — Officials in Louise, a Mississippi town of 200, they’ll take refugees from Syria, even though Gov. Phil Bryant has said he’ll do “everything humanly possible” to keep such resettlements away from Mississippi. In Louisiana, Lafourche Parish is backing Gov. Bobby Jindal’s stand against accepting Syrian refugees. States cannot block refugee placement. But

The resolution states, “This town’s governing body fears no threat, but rather feels its Christian duty and obligation to divine providence which has led this great nation from its founding to contribute relief for these poor people’s needs.” Residents have called a 4 p.m. meeting on Dec. 3 at the Volunteer Fire Department to discuss the issue.

Corinth, Miss.
Political translations It is amazing how many different ways the same thing can be said, creating totally different impressions. For example, when President Barack Obama says that defeating ISIS is going to take Thomas a long time, how is that difSowell ferent from saying that he is going to do very little, very Columnist slowly? It is saying the same thing in different words. Defenders of the administration’s policies may cite how many aerial sorties have been flown by American planes against ISIS. There have been thousands of these sorties, which sounds very impressive. But what is less impressive – and more indicative – is that, in most of those sorties, the planes have not fired a single shot or dropped a single bomb. Why? Because the rules of engagement are so restrictive that in most circumstances there is little that the pilot is allowed to do, unless circumstances are just right, which they seldom are in any war. Politics produces lots of words that can mean very different things, if you stop and think about them. But politicians depend on the fact that many people don’t bother to stop and think about them. We often hear that various problems within the black community are “a legacy of slavery.” That phrase is in widespread use among people who believe in the kinds of welfare state programs that began to dominate government policies in the 1960s. Blaming social problems today on “a legacy of slavery” is another way of saying, “Don’t blame our welfare state policies for things that got worse after those policies took over. Blame what happened in earlier centuries.” Nobody would accept that kind of cop-out, if it were expressed that way. But that is why it is expressed differently, as a “legacy of slavery.” If we were being serious, instead of being political, we could look at the facts. Were the kinds of problems we are concerned about in black communities today as bad during the first century after slavery or in the first generation after the vastly expanded welfare state? What about children being raised with no father in the home? As of 1960, nearly a century after slavery ended, 22 percent of black children were being raised in single-parent families. Thirty years later, 67 percent of all black children were being raised in singleparent families. What about violence? As of 1960, homicide rates among non-white males had gone down by 22 percent during the preceding decade. But, during the decade of the 1960s, that trend suddenly reversed, and the homicide rate shot up by 76 percent. The welfare state vision was often part of a larger, nonjudgmental social vision that was lenient on criminals and hard on the police. Another fashionable phrase that evades any need for evidence is “disparate impact” – a legal phrase accepted in the Supreme Court of the United States, despite being downright silly when you stop and think about it. Whenever there is some standard for being hired, promoted or admitted to a college, some groups may meet that standard more so than others. One way of expressing that is to say that more of the people from group X meet the standard than do people from group Y. But politically correct people express the same thing by saying that the standard has a “disparate impact” on group Y. Once it is expressed this way, it is the standard that is suspect – and whoever set that standard has to prove a negative, namely that he is not guilty of discrimination against group Y. Often nobody can prove anything, so the accused loses – or else settles out of court. Stupid? No. It takes very clever people to make something like that sound plausible. But it also requires people who don’t bother to stop and think, who enable them to get away with it.

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that I may have patience to live through the difficulties of life. May I correct my faults, that they may not destroy my peace and take from me my strength; help me to center my life in brightness and hope. Amen.
A verse to share “Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.” Exodus 3:9
Thank liberals for chaotic world We’re in a world today increasingly defined by chaos. At home it’s on our college campuses. Abroad it’s spreading across the Middle East and spilling over into Europe. Who do we have to thank for it all? Liberals and moral relativists in power in our country and Europe. Liberals have led the way to destroy all sense of moral clarity in our nation, all objective sense of right and wrong and all sense of authority. What’s the common ground of these distant and seemingly totally disconnected worlds – American college campuses and a chaotic Islamic Middle East? In both places, those who claim to have all the answers are the very ones who should be humbly asking questions and seeking knowledge. Aren’t universities allegedly where youths go to learn? The students causing problems do not arrive on campus to seek knowledge. They arrive already knowing it all, looking to instruct professors rather than to learn from them. And the weak-kneed liberal faculties and administrators at universities agree!
Today’s upside-down world can be directly traced to the purge of the values and Star principles of Parker our country’s Judeo-ChrisColumnist tian heritage. Milestones of this process are the purge of school prayer in 1962, legalization of abortion-on-demand in 1973 and redefinition of marriage by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015. Once the Bible goes out the window, reality gets invented by politicians. Ironically, the tradition of higher learning in America is rooted in the church. Look at the website of Yale, where there is student unrest, and discover the clerical roots of the university. Yale University “traces its roots to the 1640s when colonial clergymen led an effort to establish a local college to preserve the tradition of European liberal education in the New World. This vision was fulfilled in 1701, when a charter was granted for the school ‘wherein Youth may be instructed in the Arts and Sciences (and)
through the blessing of Almighty God may be fitted for Public employment both in Church and Civil State.’” Regarding campus unrest tied to allegations of racism, we have the same problem. Despite the fact that the civil rights movement succeeded because of its Christian roots and Christian leadership, today, thanks to liberals, it is all about politics. It is no secret that slavery and racism are shameful blots on America’s history. But Judeo-Christian values are not about claiming the world is perfect. They are about transmitting the right values, principles and tools to individuals to take personal responsibility to perfect this broken world. This is in contrast to liberals, who invent their own illusions about the world and blame everyone else for their problems. What about the Middle East? The world of Islam is horribly broken. By some estimates illiteracy rates average 40 percent. As I wrote a few weeks ago, of 31 nations with populations more than 90 percent Muslim, two are free by the measurement of Freedom House in Washington, D.C.
According to “100 Years of Nobel Prizes,” published in 2003, between the years 1901 and 2000 65.4 percent of Nobel laureates were Christians and 20 percent were Jews (who make up just .2 percent of the world’s population). Muslims, despite being 20 percent of the world’s population, achieved just .8 percent of Nobel prizes in that time. A world of 1.2 billion Muslims produced just 5 Nobel laureates over a century. Instead of this broken Islamic world hearing from the West that they need to fix themselves, they hear from President Obama that our values are “tolerance and diversity and equality” and that the problem is a handful of terrorists and not the world of Islam itself. Look no further than liberals holding positions of leadership in the West to understand why we live in an increasingly chaotic and dangerous world. If we want to fix the world, we must fix ourselves and restore the kind of values and leadership we need. (Star Parker is an author and president of CURE, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education.

All hail Der Donald Trump Do not say you were not warned. Der Donald has warned you. Security is going to rule in America. And unthinkable things will be done. Don’t believe me? Ask him. “We’re going to have to do things that we never did before,” Donald Trump says. “And some people are going to be upset about it, but I think that now everybody is feeling that security is going to rule. ... So we’re going to have to do certain things that were frankly unthinkable a year ago.” On Saturday, a black man began shouting at a Trump speech in Birmingham, Alabama. People shout at Trump speeches all the time. But there are things you are allowed to shout, such as “We love you, Donald!” And there are certain things you are not allowed to shout, such as “Trump is a racist!” The Constitution says both are allowed as free speech. But the Constitution does not rule at Trump rallies. Security rules – just as he promised. So the black man was kicked and punched. Trump looked down upon him with lofty disdain. “Get him the hell out of here!” Trump said. “Throw him out.” The

man was led away. Trump would protect us from such people as president Roger – just as he Simon would protect America Columnist from all its enemies. The price we would pay would be tiny. We would give up a civil liberty here, a freedom there. Certain people would be registered. Their houses of worship would be spied upon. Names would be taken down. But as long as these people are not Christians, do you really care? Trump is betting you do not. He is betting that as long as only Muslims would be targeted, you will turn a blind eye. “I want surveillance of these people,” Trump has said. “I want surveillance if we have to, and I don’t care. ... I want surveillance of certain mosques, OK?” And if he is to lead us to our glorious future, he must get what he wants. Can anyone forget the famous lines of Martin Niemoller, a Lutheran pastor who first supported and then opposed Adolf Hitler? Niemoller was im-
prisoned in Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps from 1937 to 1945 but felt he never did enough to speak out against fascism, especially when Hitler still could have been stopped. Today he might have written: “First they came for the black people, and I did not speak out – because I was not black. “Then they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Muslim. “When they come for you and me, who will be left to speak out?” The Democratic presidential field opposes Der Donald – carefully. (I borrow the name “Der Donald” from Dennis Byrne, a former colleague of mine from the Chicago Sun-Times who now is a contributing op-ed columnist for the Chicago Tribune.) “It is the sort of fear-based politics and division that sometimes precedes fascism,” Martin O’Malley says of Trump’s rhetoric. “Too many people have suffered and too many people have died for us to continue to hear racist words coming from major political leaders,” Bernie Sanders says. “Turning away orphans,

applying a religious test, discriminating against Muslims, slamming the door on every Syrian refugee -- that is just not who we are. We are better than that,” Hillary Clinton says. And what of Trump’s opponents for the Republican nomination? Most grovel and fawn. They really don’t care that Trump wants to register Muslims, just as long as he doesn’t want to register guns. Trump is no fool. He is a man with a plan. Armed with his celebrity status, his vast wealth and his adoption of the big lie as his favorite campaign tactic, he sees the White House within reach. America has been stabbed in the back for the last time. “We’re tired of being run by stupid people!” he shouts. “The American dream is dead. But we’re going to make it bigger and better and stronger than ever before!” Bigger. Better. Stronger. One dream! One nation! One leader! Der Donald! Hail!

Harbor master cooks meal for friends, co-workers BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
PICKWICK, Tenn. — Expressing his appreciation in the form of scrumptious entre`es, generous side dishes and decadent desserts, Harbor Master Ron Kouri of Pickwick Landing State Park Marina has now been preparing a Thanksgiving meal for his colleagues, friends and boaters for a decade. The marina office was packed at noon on Friday as young and old gathered for a complimentary Southern-style buffet. Items in the impressive spread included turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, corn, pinto beans, macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, cherries in the snow, cheesecake, a variety of pies, cranberry sauce and more. Loading their plates while chattering excitedly with one another, approximately 90 guests gathered around inside tables and outdoors, some even standing as they sampled
“The Thanksgiving meal at the marina began as my way of saying thank you to the employees of the park.” Ron Kouri Harbor master the cornucopia of delights. “The Thanksgiving meal at the marina began as my way of saying thank you to the employees of the park,” said Kouri. “We later started inviting our boaters and friends and it just blossomed from there.” Preparing for the dinner 4 to 5 days in advance, the 73-year-old dons an apron and white chef’s hat as he cooks for the crew and friends who have become his family. The manager of the
marina for 19 years, the talented home cook expressed a love for the culinary arts at a young age. “I began cooking with my mother at the age of 5 or 6 and have done so ever since,” he said. “I really enjoy it.” Golf Course Snack Bar Manager Betty Simmons took a break from her role as sous chef, greeting friends and acquaintances as they stepped through the front door. “Ron has such a big heart and is so generous that I thought I would volunteer and help him this year, although he didn’t need it,” said Simmons with a laugh. “I’ve been doing my best to assist him all morning.” Enjoying the fellowship as well as the delicious food, Simmons revealed her favorite dish to be the Pickwick resident’s sweet potato casserole. “Everything is good, but I absolutely love his sweet potato casserole,” she said. “It is the item I look most forward to.” Mirroring her enthu-
siasm, marina employee Connie Prater of Wayne County said he too enjoys it all. “I’ve worked here for four years now and this is my fifth dinner to attend,” he said. “It’s just a wonderful time for everyone to get together.” Retired boat mechanic Charles Campbell deemed the company of Ron as his favorite aspect of the meals. “I enjoy the chef the most because he and I have been friends for a long time,” said the 66-year-old. “I’ve been coming to the dinners for the past two years and each dish is as good as the next.” A first-timer, 56-yearold Glenda Sullivan, a 14 year servitor of the state park, and her 52-year-old sister, Sandra Scott, expressed their excitement for the opportunity to converse with and dine with new and familiar faces. “I used to sit with Ron’s wife when she was sick, so I have known the family for a while now, but this is
my first time to attend the Thanksgiving meal,” said Scott. “Ron is a wonderful person and a delight to be around.” Retired after 41 years as park manager, Pickwick resident Guy Garner has attended the meals since the beginning. “I transferred here 11 years ago and have been coming ever since,” said Garner, as he lounged on a sofa near the front windows. “I enjoy the opportunity to not only catch up with everyone, but to see everyone coming together.” A native of Madison, South Dakota and a jackof-all-trades, Ron Kouri has coached basketball, football and track, sold insurance, and taught school in Nebraska, Wyoming and Iowa. After graduating from Winfred High School in 1960, Kouri majored in math, science, chemistry and physics at Dakota State, earning a Bachelor of Science degree. He went on to attend South Dakota University,
where he earned his Master’s Degree in Education while student teaching at the university. He is just nine hours shy of earning his doctorate. He is the father of three children, Kim of Omaha, Neb., Kyle of Tampa, Fla., and Christy of Marianna, Ark. Kouri also has seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, ages 4–23. An avid outdoors-man all his life, the marina harbor master says the meals are his way of giving back to others who have given so much to him. “This has been a longtime tradition for us at the marina and one which will continue as long as I’m here,” he said, as the meal is always served at noon on the Friday before Thanksgiving Day. A welcome break from the everyday hustle and bustle that is marina life, the meals have become a time of fun and togetherness as all break bread with one another while giving thanks for God’s abundant blessings.
Sex offender passes airport security with stolen boarding pass Associated Press
boarding pass that a woman accidently left at a check-in kiosk and used it to get through a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint, said Craig Vargo, chief of airport police. “He tried to make it seem like it was a mistake, that the boarding pass printed incorrectly, or that he grabbed the wrong boarding pass,” Vargo told the Deseret News, a Salt Lake City newspaper that first reported the story. It’s unclear why the in-

SALT LAKE CITY — A sex offender with a stolen boarding pass got through airport security in Salt Lake City and checked in at a gate for a flight to California before he was caught earlier this month, authorities have disclosed. Michael Salata, 61, was arrested on Nov. 5 after boarding the Southwest Airlines flight, according to jail records obtained Thursday. He had grabbed a
cident was not disclosed by authorities until 20 days after it happened. The news surfaced during one of the busiest travel times of the year and while the country is on alert after recent terror attacks abroad. President Barack Obama has sought to reassure Americans by saying authorities are equipped to prevent attacks in the U.S. The day after the security breach in Utah, TSA officials in Washington announced enhanced se-
curity for certain inbound international flights in response to an explosion aboard a Russian passenger jet after takeoff from Egypt. Salata was detained after the woman who had left the pass at the kiosk checked in using a replacement ticket that had been uploaded to her phone, Vargo said. TSA spokeswoman Lori Dankers told the Deseret News that an agent made a mistake in identifying Salata, but the man was

properly screened to determine if he was carrying anything dangerous. “There are multiple layers of security in place,” Dankers said in an email to the newspaper. She declined to say whether anyone has been disciplined and did not immediately return calls Thursday from The Associated Press. Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King says the airline relies on TSA to verify boarding passes and identification, and the airline’s systems
worked properly by flagging a boarding pass that already had been scanned and identifying a passenger who didn’t belong on the flight. It’s not clear why the boarding pass was taken from the check-in kiosk or why the person wanted to get on the flight. Court records show Salata was cited twice by police for trespassing at the University of Utah in recent weeks — once before and once after the airport incident.

Faultfinders are a dime a dozen The world abounds with faultfinders. They are the naysayers who constantly criticize, seek out problems, ridicule, b l a m e , and always have a reason why will Bryan you fail. ReGolden gardless of Dare to Live how posiWithout Limits tive a situation may be, faultfinders have the ability to always conjure up difficulties. They have a consistently negative outlook. Although they typically lack experience, knowledge, or understanding, they claim to speak with authority. In actuality, their foundation is one of
ignorance. The information they offer is usually wrong. Faultfinders are constantly attempting to influence you. They are often close family or friends. Even strangers who are faultfinders can impact your actions. Faultfinders become dangerous when you are concerned with changing your behavior because of their views. The root of this scenario lies in one’s seeking or needing acceptance or approval from others. A faultfinder’s criticism causes you to doubt yourself and feel rejected. Adjusting your thoughts or actions in order to mollify fault finders diverts you from your path. Regardless of what you do, faultfinders are never satisfied. Their nature
is to always find fault. Therefore, all of your efforts to please them will be in vain. No matter what you do, it’s never good enough. The only result is the compromising of your goals. You are the only one who can determine the appropriate path to take. Your goals must be your own. How you attain them is based on who your are. No one has the right to sit in judgment of your life. As long as you are acting honestly and ethically, you are free to determine where you are headed and how to get there. Faultfinders should be as concerned about their own lives as they are about yours. It doesn’t matter what other people say, think,
or do. What you do is the issue. You must condition yourself to ignore the faultfinders. Respond to their criticism and you live life based on their terms, not yours. Knowing yourself is a prerequisite to following your own path. Do you know your strengths? How can you use them to your advantage? Can you identify your weaknesses? What steps can you take to overcome them? What are your likes? Your dislikes? Identify the goals most important to you. Paint a detailed mental picture of each goal. Formulate a step by step plan to achieve each goal. Now you are ready to take action by implementing the first step. Instead of paying at-
tention to faultfinders, look for people who are where you want to be. If you can speak with them in person, their advice is priceless. If you can’t, study what they have done and learn from their approach to overcoming obstacles. Not only is it impossible to please everyone, you shouldn’t even try. You are the one who must be satisfied with your direction. A constant barrage of criticisms, suggestions, guidance, and ridicule is part of life. Learn to tune it out. Some faultfinders are well intentioned. Others may be jealous of your success. And then there are also those who are malicious. Never be rude to faultfinders. You don’t need to convince them
what’s right for you. Simply thank them for their input and move on. Being you own faultfinder is not good either. You are just as capable of formulating a list of why something cannot, will not, or should not work. Combining this with negative self-talk provides you with a potent formula for sabotaging success. Focus on reasons to succeed, not excuses for failure. It’s up to you to do whatever it takes to attain your goals. Ignore all of the faultfinders. Keep to your path.

Big balloons, heavy security for NYC Thanksgiving parade BY KAREN MATTHEWS Associated Press
NEW YORK — Americans paused Thursday to celebrate their blessings despite terrorism fears and racial tensions over fatal police shootings across the country. A record number of police officers patrolled the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, while St. Louis resumed its annual parade, canceled last year amid protests over Michael Brown’s death. At the White House, President Barack Obama spent a quiet holiday with a traditional meal. Here’s a look at how other Americans celebrated:
Tight security for Snoopy, Spongebob Spectators at the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York noted a stepped-up police presence, with officers perched on buildings
like Radio City Music Hall and watching from helicopters hovering overhead. “It’s a little scary, but at least it’s keeping us safe,” Kim Miller, of Boston, said of the heavy security. “We’re having fun.” City officials have said there are no known, credible threats against New York following the deadly attacks in Paris and a video purportedly produced by the Islamic State group that contained footage of Times Square. But Police Commissioner William Bratton said more than 2,500 officers would nevertheless be stationed along the parade route for the Thanksgiving festivities — the largest number of officers the department has ever assigned to the event. The parade, in its 89th year, included marching bands and floats along with Hello Kitty, Snoopy, SpongeBob SquarePants
and other giant balloons. Pamela and Tom Popp of Ridgefield, New Jersey, said they’ve come to the parade every year for at least 20 years. “It’s just a very special part of our holiday,” Pamela Popp said. “We’re very proud of New York City and this wonderful tradition.”
Parade returns in St. Louis In St. Louis, a modestsized crowd gathered on an unseasonably warm morning for the annual Thanksgiving Day parade that was canceled last year amid protests and widespread arrests over the death of Brown, an unarmed black 18-yearold, and other police shootings. The 2014 parade was supposed to be held several days after a St. Louis County grand jury decided to not indict former

Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, in Brown’s death.
Chicago protesters pause After two days of demonstrations following the release of a video that shows a white Chicago police officer shooting and killing black teenager Laquan McDonald in 2014, protest organizers said there were no marches planned for Thanksgiving. Instead, they said they were preparing for a march through the city’s famed shopping district, the Magnificent Mile, on Friday.
At the White House, kale two ways Obama says Thanksgiving is a day for food, football and hoping “the turkey didn’t turn out too dry.” Even if the White House’s thyme-roasted bird didn’t turn out to be the moistest, the first family’s menu boasted more than enough other choices to fill the stomach.
There was honey-baked ham with apricot-mustard glaze, and prime rib and creamed horseradish, according to the White House. And two kinds of stuffing: cornbread with chorizo and “roasted peppers oyster.” As for the veggies, the Obamas could enjoy some braised winter greens — collards, kale, and turnip greens — in addition to kale Caesar salad. Green bean casserole, too. Plus, the macaroni and cheese, sweet potato gratin and Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. As for dessert, it seemed Pie Day came early: banana cream, coconut cream, pumpkin, apple, pecan and cherry.
A parade tradition in Detriot For Arthur Galea, getting to Detroit on Thanksgiving for the city’s annual parade has been a 65-year tradition. He has missed only three over that time, Galea told the Detroit Free Press from the parade route. “I sleep overnight
here,” said Galea, 90, of West Branch. “We all have Thanksgiving dinner here.” The family was among tens of thousands of spectators who lined Woodward Avenue for America’s Thanksgiving Parade. The lineup included 180 clowns, 150 papiermache Big Heads, 25 floats and 13 marching bands. Actor Tim Allen served as grand marshal
Holiday shopping Retailers that started opening on Thanksgiving in recent years have settled into times that don’t interfere with the turkey feast. Most of the more than a dozen major retailers like Macy’s, Target and Kohl’s are sticking with their 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. openings. One big exception: J.C. Penney, which is opening two hours earlier at 3 p.m. Staples has reversed course and will close on the holiday. And sporting goods chain REI, which was always closed on Thanksgiving, is bowing out of Black Friday, too.

Man jumps fence at White House WASHINGTON — A man draped in an American flag climbed over the fence at the White House on Thursday, prompting a lockdown as the first family celebrated Thanksgiving. CNN reports that the man was immediately apprehended. Armed security personnel have been seen outside the White House since the incident, which took place shortly before 3 p.m. EST. An image of a man atop a section of fence in front of the North Lawn has been posted on the website of television station WJLA. A second image shows the man standing on the lawn with his arms raised in victory. President Barack Obama and his wife and daughters are spending the holiday at the White House. Secret Service and White House officials have not responded to calls and emails seeking information.
Prices for skin care treatments soaring WASHINGTON — The cost of prescription skin treatments has skyrocketed since 2009, as the burden of escalating drug prices increasingly weighs on family budgets. Retail prices have surged 401 percent since 2009 for brandname drugs for skin conditions, according to research published in JAMA Dermatology, a medical journal. That compares to an overall inflation rate of just 11 percent during the same period. Of the 19 brandname drugs analyzed in the study published Wednesday, price hikes have been most extreme for two drugs made by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., which has been subpoenaed by federal prosecutors for documents tied to its pricing and practices. It is also under investigation by several members of Congress. The Canadabased company has acquired smaller drug developers and then raised prices of their medicines. Costs for Valeant’s Targretin gel skin cancer treatment have shot up
18-fold over the past six years to $30,320 per 60 gram tube. Prices for a separate Valeant skin cancer cream, Carac cream, also surged 18 times to $2,865 for a 30 gram tube. But the study found that dramatic price hikes are common across the pharmaceutical industry. Prices for generic skin treatment drugs climbed 279 percent between 2011 and 2014. Health insurers increasingly pass those costs onto patients, as health plans have limited coverage options, the study noted.
Journalist: Trump mocked disability WASHINGTON — Donald Trump denied Thursday that he mocked a reporter with a disability in a South Carolina speech, despite appearing to imitate mannerisms of the “poor guy” and make fun of him. A statement posted on his Twitter account said Trump doesn’t know the reporter personally or what he looks like and was only mocking his journalism. The New York Times reporter, Serge Kovaleski, “should stop using his disability to grandstand,” the statement quoted Trump as saying. Kovaleski has a congenital condition that affects joint movement. In a speech Tuesday in South Carolina, Trump said, “Poor guy, you oughta see this guy,” and gestured in a jerky fashion as if imitating Kovaleski’s movements. Trump was challenging recollections by Kovaleski and many others about the 9/11 aftermath. Trump has made unsubstantiated claims that thousands of Muslims in New Jersey were seen celebrating the attacks. In 2001, Kovaleski, then with The Washington Post, and another Post journalist wrote a week after the 9/11 attacks about authorities in New Jersey detaining and questioning “a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks.” The story did not suggest “thousands” were celebrating, as Trump claimed, and a story then by The Star-Ledger in Newark, New Jersey, said the reports of such celebrations by Muslims proved unfounded.

Even so, Trump has pointed to the Post story as backing up his claim and took issue with Kovaleski’s recent statement that he did not remember anyone alleging that large numbers of Muslims were celebrating.
Obama’s view hazy on death penalty WASHINGTON — Even as President Barack Obama tries to make a hard case for overhauling sentences, rehabilitating prisoners and confronting racial bias in policing, he has been less clear about the death penalty. Obama has hinted that his support for capital punishment is eroding, but he has refused to discuss what he might call for. A Justice Department review has dragged on for 18 months with little mention or momentum. The president recently repeated he is “deeply concerned” about the death penalty’s implementation, though he also acknowledges the issue has not been a top priority. “I have not traditionally been opposed to the death penalty in theory, but in practice it’s deeply troubling,” Obama told the Marshall Project, a nonprofit journalism group, citing racial bias, wrongful convictions and questions about “gruesome and clumsy” executions. His delay in proposing solutions, he said, was because “I got a whole lot of other things to do as well.” Obama said he plans to weigh in, and considers the issue part of his larger, legacy-minded push for an overhaul of the criminal justice system. White House officials say the president is looking for an appropriate response and wading through the legal ramifications. Capital prosecutions are down across the United States. A shortage of lethal injection drugs has meant de facto freezes in several states and at the federal level. Spurred in part by encouragement from Supreme Court justices Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, advocates are debating whether the time is right to push the court to take a fresh look at whether the death penalty is constitutional.

Police: Man stabbed family over fast food NEW ORLEANS — Authorities say a man has been charged in Louisiana with killing his father and stabbing his mother because they ordered fast food and didn’t get any for him. John Fortunato, a sheriff’s spokesman in Jefferson Parish, says 32-year-old Ronald Pritchett faces charges of second-degree murder, attempted seconddegree murder and auto theft. In Mississippi, Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel says Pritchett was arrested Thursday at a relative’s home near the town of Purvis and has waived extradition to Louisiana. Fortunato says 58-year-old Percival Pritchett and his wife, 57-year-old Renta Pritchett, were stabbed Wednesday at their home in unincorporated Gretna.
Foamcraft to expand operations in Tupelo JACKSON — Foamcraft, Inc., a manufacturer of polyurethane foam products, says it’s expanding operations in Tupelo to accommodate an increase in consumer demand. The company, in a news release Wednesday, said the project represents a corporate investment of $1.34 million and will create 40 jobs. Foamcraft says it will expand into the 115,000-square-foot facility formerly occupied by Fibre Craft. Foamcraft will also continue to operate from its current 75,000-square-foot location, which is located across from the Fibre Craft facility. Foamcraft President Jim Hensley says the expansion will allow the company to meet increased production demands and continue a growth plan put in motion in 2011.

Harris says the extra facade will help better insulate the building. Upgrades will also occur in the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and speaker system. Officials said that work will be done in stages because the building is heavily used by the community. Officials say much of the interior work will be done by next year.
Missing men saved after boat capsizes PASS CHRISTIAN — The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources rescued two men who went missing after their boat capsized in the Mississippi Sound.

the dogs were terrified, trapped and left to die.
Cable hunting show host pleads guilty JUNEAU, Alaska — The host of a cable TV hunting show has pleaded guilty as part of an investigation into poaching on a remote national preserve in Alaska. The terms of a plea deal signed by Clark W. Dixon earlier this week call for an 18-month prison sentence, a $75,000 fine and forfeiture of trophies and weapons that the U.S. attorney’s office says were used in the illegal taking of game. The charges involve activities between 2008 and 2013 at Noatak National Preserve in northwest Alaska. After the charges were announced in September, the Sportsman Channel said it had suspended Dixon’s show, “The Syndicate.” Sentencing was set for February. Dixon is from Mississippi.

Attorney General Jim Hood, in a news release earlier this week, said Warren County Judge Frank Vollor sentenced Charles W. Acy III, of Brookhaven, on two counts of aggravated DUI resulting in death. Hood says Vollor sentenced Acy to 15 years in prison and 10 years of post-release supervision on each count. The sentences are to run consecutively.

Mother wants to help young bisexual daughter WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: My 12-year-old daughter confessed to me this evening that she believes she is bisexual. She was quite upset about a comment made by another girl today. I immediately comforted her and explained that I love her, no holds barred. She will always be my baby. I know your column has recommended some websites for parents and personal support, but I am unable to recall them. I want to become more educated in order to help guide my child on how to be happy with who she is. This information will also help when she decides to tell her father and stepmother. Thank you. — Love My Child Dear Love: We commend you for being a supportive, loving parent. Please keep in mind that sexuality can be more fluid than we sometimes realize, especially for teenagers, so we hope you will continue to be supportive while your daughter sorts it out. A great website for parents is PFLAG (pflag.org). And if your daughter is being bullied because of her sexual orientation, contact the school immediately. This should not be tolerated.
Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I saw the letter from “Frustrated,” the nearly 90-year-old man whose wife is now in a nursing home after a stroke. He said his oldest son won’t visit and becomes angry when asked. It’s truly sad how dynamics between parents and children can get completely off track when well-meaning parents, either through a lack of knowledge or mindfulness, do not understand the pain they cause to their children by the underlying critical messages they convey. At first glance, a son who won’t visit his elderly mother in a nursing home would seem to lack compassion. But the frustrated father who wrote the letter conveyed an unspoken tone of disapproval by implying that the older son should feel guilty for not measuring up to the example of his supportive younger brother. Based on the son’s reported outburst and his stated feelings of never being heard, this has likely been the pattern of a lifetime, however unintentional the father’s
comparisons may have been. If the father truly wants to maximize success in having his older son visit, I suggest that a sincere, unqualified apology for not understanding how he previously failed to acknowledge his son’s perspective, along with your advice to extend an unpressured invitation, would go a long way toward achieving that. — Been There Dear Been There: It is a common problem between parents and children that they see the same events through very different lenses. What’s worse is when one of them tries to convince the other that their perspective is wrong. This is a recipe for resentment and defensiveness. Parents want their children to love them, and children want to be loved. But a lifetime of misunderstandings and skewed perspectives can get in the way. In order to move past these issues, you sometimes have to be the bigger person and apologize, whether you believe it’s warranted or not. The objective is not to be “right.” It’s to have a close, loving relationship. That often takes both forgiveness and generosity of spirit.

Teen questions connection between sex and marriage D E A R ABBY: I am 16 and a sophomore in high school. As someone who is exAbigail posed to somedia, Van Buren cial I see that many people Dear Abby emphasize sex as a sign of love. They seem to be saying a happy marriage cannot survive without sex. My parents do not have sex and are distant with each other. They have issues between them. I’d like to know if a happy relationship can survive abstinence from sex. I don’t want to have sex until I’m married. Long-term relationships are not an exception. But guys expect the girls they date to have sex with them. Can you help me with this? -- ABSTAINING IN ALABAMA DEAR ABSTAINING: Because someone “expects” you to have sex does not mean that you are obligated to. The decision is a personal one, and if you prefer to abstain until after you are married, that is your privilege. A girl who has sex with a boy as a way to hang onto him will
be in for a disappointment. If the sex is all that’s keeping them together, he will soon wander when he becomes bored and look for another conquest. You ask if a sexless marriage can be successful and use your parents as an example. (Are you absolutely sure this is true? Or have you assumed it because they are not demonstrative around you?) The direct answer to that question is, sometimes. No two couples are alike. Some stop having sex because they have lowered hormone levels, which makes them less interested. Sometimes one partner is unable to perform because of a medical condition. This doesn’t necessarily spell the end of the marriage. It all depends upon the individuals and the situation. On the other hand, other couples enjoy sex until they are in their 90s. As long as a husband and wife are in AGREEMENT about it, the union can be a happy and lasting one. DEAR ABBY: With the holiday season coming, I want to offer a word of advice to parents who are considering having Santa photos taken of their kids at the mall. I managed one of those concessions and saw the best and the worst of parenting. Forcing kids to get your memory photo of them screaming in terror is ridiculous, and I will add, NOT
FUNNY. Parents should take the time to ask the children if they WANT to see Santa. If necessary, the parent should be in the photo, too. Don’t tell the kids to smile and show their teeth. They’ll look like the grill on a Ford. Don’t wait till the last days, visit Santa when it’s really crowded, enter a long line and then complain that the line is long. And don’t assume it’s safe or that the company cares. My boss told me I shouldn’t have background checks done because it “cost too much.” I ordered them anyway, and when the reports were returned, we had to have one of the Santas removed immediately from the floor. -- SANTA HELPER IN FLORIDA DEAR SANTA HELPER: Thanks for sharing your insight. I’m all for wanting to capture the memory, and during holiday time, temptation can be hard to resist. But forcing a child who finds Santa terrifying to sit on his lap for a picture doesn’t seem like great parenting to me. A better idea would be to wait until Christmas morning and take some candid shots of the child opening his or her presents at home. That way the smiles will be genuine and it will ensure a better outcome for everyone involved.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). As you tend to your life consciously you will be aware of much going on with your subconscious. Your inner world is active and interesting, speaking to you with such clarity that you’ll find it extremely hard to ignore. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You won’t feel motivated to do today’s work, but you’ll do it anyway. Sometimes it frustrates you that others don’t share your sense of duty, but you can appreciate how this also sets you apart as a leader. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll get as much attention as you give. Enjoy this rare moment of perfect mutuality and balanced affections. You can relax into the idea that fair is fair. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The day will be shaped by the age-old question of what to eat. The same foods can be made in hundreds of ways. There are more than a few people who like the way you make it best!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may feel that agreeing with those around you is part of your job. It certainly is a lot easier than disagreeing, and yet today it won’t serve your project to go along when you know there’s something wrong in the plan. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You might be initially stumped by today’s relationship problem, but don’t give up. What seems difficult will actually be rather simple when you’re willing to go at it from another angle. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s such a natural, easy pace going with what you’re doing now. It’s nice when you can make progress without pushing yourself or anyone else. Bonus: You’ve increased immunity to stress and illness. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Figure out what you want before you start the discussion. People will listen carefully to what you say and take you quite literally. Now is a time to be very careful about how you word things. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Henry David Thoreau suggested that a person “beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.” What you’re planning falls into the category, but all will be well as long as you don’t forget the “old you” in the process. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you can do it just about as easily as another person could, don’t involve the other person. This is a time for reminding everyone just how independent you are. You’ll be about as happy as you are self-reliant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re tougher than your circumstances have allowed you to prove. It might help you now to think of yourself as forged titanium, built solid from the ground up -- no shortcuts, no alloys. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your water-sign nature will connect you with a social tide. You might not be sure you like where it’s headed, but swimming against it will tire you out. Besides, there’s an opportunity here.

Panthers hit 11-0, top Cowboys BY SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas — Cam Newton is still perfect this season. Tony Romo might be out for good with the same injury that sidelined him for seven games. Newton got a big boost from a defense that returned two of Romo’s three interceptions for touchdowns, and the Panthers ran their NFL-best winning streak to 15 regularseason games with a 33-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. Romo injured the same left collarbone that sidelined him for all seven games of a losing streak that damaged the play-

off hopes for the defending NFC East champion Cowboys (3-8). The 35-year-old with a surgically repaired back said he would have to wait for more test results before knowing if he broke the collarbone again. He was injured in Week 2 at Philadelphia and said the injury had a similar feel this time. Coach Jason Garrett wouldn’t rule out Romo returning this season, and said he would play if he was cleared even with the Cowboys unlikely to have a realistic shot to defend their division title. Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly intercepted two
straight passes by Romo, returning the first 32 yards for a touchdown. Safety Kurt Coleman picked off Romo’s second pass of the game and took it back 36 yards for the score to help the Panthers become the 16th NFL team to start a season 11-0. Before getting hurt, Romo didn’t look anything like the only quarterback to beat multiple teams with records of 9-0 or better. He ended up losing for the first time in four starts this season. He had previously beaten Indianapolis at 9-0 in his fourth career start in 2006 and New Orleans at 13-0 three
years later. Newton did his part as well, getting Carolina’s only offensive touchdown on a 4-yard run for a 30-6 lead moments before Romo’s injury. He had 183 yards passing with several key third-down conversions and another 45 yards rushing. On the second play of Dallas’ possession after Newton’s score, Romo was hit by a blitzing Thomas Davis and went down on his left shoulder. Romo went on injured reserve with a designation to return after the first injury, and the Cowboys couldn’t win without him. They were Please see COWBOYS | 11A

Stafford throws 5 TD passes, Lions beat Eagles BY LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer
DETROIT — Matthew Stafford dropped back and perfectly lofted the ball where only Calvin Johnson could catch it. Johnson leaped to come down with the 25-yard pass in the end zone for the first of a career-high matching three touchdown receptions, Stafford tied a personal best with five scoring passes, and the surging Detroit Lions kept the Philadelphia Eagles reeling with a 45-14 rout Thursday. “When we’re on point like that, it’s hard to stop,” Johnson said. The Lions (4-7) have won three straight since firing their team president and gen-
eral manager, and three in a row in their annual Thanksgiving game. Detroit ran for 108 yards, tied a season high with six sacks and Matt Prater made a 48-yard field goal. “That’s as complete a victory as we’ve had since we’ve been here,” said Jim Caldwell, who won 11 games last season in his first year as Detroit’s coach. The Eagles (4-7) have lost three straight. They have allowed at least 45 points in two straight games in one season for the first time, according to STATS, and have lost by at least 28 points in consecutive games for the first time since 1971. “We all take accountabil-
ity,” coach Chip Kelly said. “I’m a coach, not a player, so it starts with me. I’m not pointing fingers at anybody, and I don’t think anybody points fingers at anybody.” Stafford threw for more than 200 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover by halftime for the second time in his career, according to STATS, to help the Lions lead 24-7. He finished 27 of 38 for 337 yards and threw five TDs for the fourth time in his career. “Our quarterback is comfortable in this offense,” Caldwell said. “And when that happens, it gives you opportunities for your playmakers to do things.” Johnson had eight catches
for 93 yards and three TDs, matching his career high set in 2010. After not throwing to Johnson much early in the game, Stafford started connecting with the star receiver. The Eagles couldn’t do much about it, especially when starting cornerback Nolan Carroll left in the second quarter with a broken right ankle and was replaced by rookie Eric Rowe. “At the end of the first quarter, I realized we hadn’t gotten 81 the ball yet, so we dialed up some plays for him,” Stafford said. “We started getting aggressive, and that opened up a couple routes for him.” The quarterback seems to Please see EAGLES | 11A

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla, — Xavier found its scoring touch in the second half to put away Alabama. Trevon Bluiett scored 15 points, J.P. Macura added 14, and No. 23 Xavier beat Alabama 64-45 in the first round of the AdvoCare Invitational on Thursday. Macura helped the Musketeers (5-0) overcome an early first-half deficit, while Bluiett was part of a second-half surge that gave Xavier a comfortable advantage. “Hopefully as we settle in, we’ll get better on offense,” Xavier coach Chris Mack said. “I thought we were much better in the second half than we were in the first.” Shannon Hale and Justin
Coleman had 10 points each for Alabama (2-2). Dazon Ingram added six points and nine rebounds. “They seem like they have a little bit more mental and physical stamina than we have,” said Alabama coach Avery Johnson of Xavier, which has reached the NCAA tourney in nine of the last 10 years. “We’re not there yet. We’re still playing catch up in those areas.” Consecutive long-range jumpers by Myles Davis and Bluiett put Xavier ahead 3628 early in the second half. Bluiett had a steal and basket before another 3-pointer by Davis, and James Farr’s layup made it 43-28 with 13 minutes to play. Xavier made 8 of its first 13 second-half shots after shooting just 24.1 per-
cent during the opening half. Jalen Reynolds’ basket extended the lead to 60-37 with 4 minutes left. He had 10 points. “We just broke down,” Hale said. Macura came off the bench and had 11 points as Xavier rallied from an early seven point hole to go up 27-24 at halftime. He entered averaging 10.8 points, the team’s third-best average. “I just needed to provide energy to the team,” Macura said. Hale had all his points in the first half, including a 3 in the final seconds. Both teams struggled offensively during the first 20 minutes. The Crimson Tide made 3 of 15 from 3-point range, and
were 10 for 29 overall. Xavier made 7 of 29 shots, including seven straight misses to start the game. “The positives are, we played pretty good defense in the first half,” Johnson said. “When we’ve had a game like this, we seem to bounce back.” The Crimson Tide ended 5 for 28 (17.9 percent) from 3-point range. Alabama guard Retin Obasohan, averaging 14 points, was held scoreless in the first half and finished with two points,

Texas A&M beats Gonzaga 62-61 BY KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press
PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — Texas A&M knew it would need to play tough underneath the basket to compete with the size of No. 10 Gonzaga. The Aggies did that to earn a place in the Battle 4 Atlantis championship game. Danuel House scored 19 points, and Texas A&M edged Gonzaga 62-61 on Thursday. “I was really proud of our guys defensively down the stretch. Our goal was to hold their big three guys to 30 points or less and we were able to do that,” coach Billy Kennedy said. “The best thing about our team is we didn’t panic. Emotionally I thought we were locked in the whole game.” The Aggies took the lead on House’s free throw with just over a minute to play, and the Zags’ Silas Melson missed a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer with House contesting the shot. “Any time we have a tough game it’s teaching us all how to be poised, how to play under control and how to execute so we can give ourselves a chance to win a game,” House said. Tonny Trocha-Morelos added 14 points for Texas A&M (6-0). Gonzaga (3-1) led for much of the game but missed some key free throws down the stretch. After making six 3-pointers in the first half, the Zags connected on just three in the second. Kyle Wiltjer led Gonzaga with 18 points. Josh Perkins added 15. The Zags had to play without big man Domantas Sabonis for a large chunk of the second half after he picked up his fourth foul. They were able to keep the Aggies in check until he returned with less than four minutes to play. But Sabonis was lost for good with 2:39 left when he fouled out. Texas A&M went in front 61-60 on a pair of free throws by Alex Caruso. The Zags tied it back up a trip later when Przemek Karnowski got one of two on his trip to the line.
Browns claim Manziel benching about honesty Associated Press
BEREA, Ohio — The Browns believe sacking Johnny Manziel themselves will do him good. One day after taking Manziel’s starting job from him for breaking his promise to stay out of the spotlight and behave during the bye week, Browns coach Mike Pettine explained his decision was necessary. He benched Manziel because Johnny Football didn’t keep his word. “It’s the trust, the accountability part of it,” Pettine said. “This is where we had an obvious shortcoming.” Manziel was dumped as Cleveland’s starter and dropped to third string by Pettine, who was angry after a video emerged of the second-year QB partying last week in Texas while the Browns were off. Before Manziel
left town, Pettine said he made it clear to Manziel that he needed to act in a responsible manner, one befitting a starting NFL quarterback. When that didn’t happen, Pettine had no choice but to stick Manziel behind starter Josh McCown and Austin Davis on Cleveland’s depth chart. Manziel could be inactive Monday night when the Browns host the Baltimore Ravens, depriving the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner a chance to showcase his skills and progress on one of pro football’s biggest stages. Despite the demotion, the Browns haven’t given up on Manziel. “This is a heavy dose of adversity. We’ll see how he handles it,” Pettine said. “We told him yesterday, this isn’t a dead end. This is a hurdle.”

be clicking with plays called by offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, who replaced the fired Joe Lombardi a month ago. “I love that he’s so aggressive,” Stafford said. “That rubs off on the players because it is fun when he’s giving you chances to make big plays.” Taking advantage of Johnson in one-on-one coverage, Stafford threw 4- and 3-yard TD passes to Johnson in the third quarter. “We’re attacking the defense, and not playing defense on offense,” Johnson said. Stafford started the scoring barrage with an 8-yard pass to Theo Riddick, who made a sharp move to the inside to get away from linebacker Mychal Kendricks late in the opening quarter. Stafford threw a goahead, 2-yard TD midway through the second quarter to Golden Tate, who lined up as a fullback and went to the flat where he caught the ball and stopped, letting safety Walter Thurmond run past him. Mark Sanchez started in place of Sam Bradford, who was inactive with a shoulder injury. Sanchez completed 19 of 27 passes for 199 yards and two TDs. He connected with Brent Celek early in the second quarter on a 2-yard pass to help Philadelphia pull into a 7-all tie and with Jordan Matthews for a relatively meaningless, 24-yard TD late in the game. Sanchez was able to connect with receivers when he had time, but that didn’t happen very often. Detroit’s Ezekiel Ansah had a career-high 3 1/2 sacks, one of which forced a fumble by Sanchez that the defensive end recovered. “That guy’s got a serious grip — rigor mortis or something,” Sanchez said. NOTES: Eagles WR Josh Huff was evaluated for a concussion during the game. ... Lions S Glove Quin left the game with an injured left ankle, which he was protecting with a walking boot. ... The game was stopped briefly in the fourth quarter when people ran onto the field with a banner promoting animal liberation.

Georgia Tech beats Arkansas 83-73 BY LARRY FLEISHER Associated Press
NEW YORK — By Georgia Tech coach Brian Gregory’s lofty standards, Charles Mitchell could have collected 20 rebounds. But the rebounds Mitchell was able to pull down were more than good enough. The senior forward finished with a double-double, getting 18 points and 18 rebounds and Georgia Tech dominated the glass in an 83-73 victory over Arkansas Thursday afternoon in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-off. Mitchell’s big effort helped the Yellow Jackets to a 50-26 advantage and his seven offensive rebounds contributed to 26 second-chance points. Georgia Tech (4-1) will face Villanova or Stanford in Friday’s championship game while Arkansas will face Villanova or Stanford in the consolation game. “Chuck has always been a great offensive rebounder because he just goes,” Gregory said. “He’s got a hunger and a pretty good feel. He has not been a great defensive
rebounder because it’s a different dynamic.” Mitchell grabbed 11 defensive boards while posting his 17th career double-double and 12th since transferring from Maryland, but there were two other rebounds Gregory though he should have gotten. “He should have had 20 rebounds,” Gregory said. “He should have got those two other defensive rebounds. He’s bought in to me really having high standards. Mitchell, who lost more than 20 pounds during the offseason, came within two of his career high in points and came within one of his career best for rebounds set last season against North Carolina State. “Just energy plays,” Mitchell said. “I’m just trying to give my team second-chance possessions.” Mitchell had nine rebounds at halftime when Georgia Tech held a three-point lead. He had five more during the final 10 1/2 minutes after Arkansas was within 55-54.
“I don’t know if that’s ever happened where a guy got 18 and 18 but give them credit,” Razorbacks coach Mike Anderson said. “They took advantage of us. I thought our lack of physicality was very evident.” While Mitchell controlled things inside, Adam Smith and Marcus Hunt-George thrived on the perimeter. The backcourt duo led the Yellow Jackets with 19 points each and combined on all eight of Georgia Tech’s 3-pointers. Dusty Hannahs scored 17 points for the Razorbacks (2-2), who led only briefly late in the first half. Anthlon Bell added 14 and Moses Kingsley contributed 13 before fouling out.
Tip-ins Georgia Tech: The starting lineup includes only one player who began his college career at the school. Charles Mitchell is a transfer from Maryland, Josh Heath previously played
at South Carolina, Jacobs played high school basketball with former Yellow Jacket Derrick Favors before attending Alabama and Smith is a graduate transfer from Virginia Tech. ... Mitchell has scored a doubledouble in every game this season. ... Mitchell’s career high in points came on November 13, when he scored 21 against Cornell. Arkansas: This is the Razorbacks second trip to New York for the NIT Season Tip-Off. In 1990, Arkansas had a 10-point victory over eventual national champion Duke before losing to Arizona in the championship game. ... Forward Trey Thompson rolled his ankle late in the first half going for a rebound. He was helped off the court by a member of the training staff and guard Anthlon Bell before going to the locker room. After the game, coach Mike Anderson was unsure of how serious the injury was. ... Arkansas had its starting frontcourt outrebounded by a 25-12 margin.

Carolina led 13-3 when Kuechly and the NFL’s leading defense for takeaways put the Panthers firmly in control. The league’s top tackler since joining the NFL in 2012, Kuechly dropped into coverage and easily
stepped in front of a pass intended for Terrance Williams before churning up the left sideline and pushing Romo away as he crossed the goal line. On the next play, Kuechly made a nifty overthe-head catch on a ball
thrown to Jason Witten. The linebacker looked a little winded on the return, eventually settling for a 17-yarder that led to the third of Graham Gano’s four field goals to put the Panthers up 23-3 at halftime.

dition.� Harvey Moss is among those who enjoys making it a family event. “It helps a lot of people get a good meal,� he said. “It’s a good deal for the whole community.� Recipients enjoyed the likes of dressing, sweet potato patties, green beans, potato salad, rolls and pecan pie from Refreshments. The preparation and assembly makes for a busy morning at the cafeteria of Corinth Middle School. Dick Atkins, the food chairman, has been involved almost all of the 27 years. “We get people from the community to come in and help us,� he said. “It’s not just First Presbyterian by itself. It’s a good experience for everybody.� The food program began humbly in its early years with the church
hosting a meal. It drew small crowds and the church saw a need to instead take the food to the people who needed it. “We hit a thousand about 10 years ago and really just couldn’t go beyond that,� said Elliott. The church works with the Department of Human Services to send information about the program to all food stamp recipients in the county, and those people can then contact the church to request a meal. It doesn’t take as long as it once did to reach the 1,000 meal reservation limit. “We’ve wondered about how to respond to everyone,� said Elliott, “but we kind of feel like we’re at the limit of capacity here to do serving.� Each meal includes a gospel tract and a placemat bearing the event’s theme: “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.�

Older workers seek options for reducing hours BY ADAM ALLINGTON For The Associated Press
Roberton Williams’ plan was to retire on his government pension and take a part-time job to make up the difference in salary. It didn’t quite work out that way. Williams, 68, did retire but then started another full-time job with the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank.
/21*/
“The plan was to work full time just until I got my feet wet,� Williams said. “But, I ended up working full time for the next nine years.� He’s far from an aberration. Many aging baby boomers are caught between a desire to work less and a labor market that just isn’t ready to let them go. According to the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, 17.7 percent of people 65 and older are still working in some capacity, compared with 11.7 percent in 1995. Of course, part of this increase could be due to a growing fear felt by many Americans about financial insecurity during retirement. Survey data has shown that fears about outliving one’s savings are factoring into retirement planning. That is even prompting 34 percent of workers age 60-plus to say they plan on working until they die, or are too sick to work, according to a recent Wells Fargo survey. Some workers just want a gradual transition, whether for financial reasons or just to keep working jobs where they can still contribute and help train the next generation. Slightly more than 40 percent of U.S. workers hope to cut back hours or transition to a less demanding position before
retirement, according to a 2015 report from the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. One option offered by a small number of employers is “phased retirement,� which allows retiring workers to go part time while also mentoring their incoming replacement, providing for a smoother transition. The Society for Human Resource Management puts the number at 8 percent. In other cases, employers are eschewing formal arrangements in favor of short-term contracts. “One thing we see is that employers are increasingly able to tap into a more flexible labor market, rather than going through formal HR structures,� says Jean Setzfand, AARP’s senior vice president of programs. “So having hard-and-fast rules for this can be difficult.� For federal workers, Congress passed legislation in 2012 creating a
,6 6&25,17+
phased-retirement program, and the Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, formalized the rules last year. To date, OPM has only finalized 16 applications for phased retirement from workers at the Library of Congress, NASA, the Broadcasting Board of Governors and the Energy Department. It expects to soon receive 12 more from the Smithsonian Institution_that’s from a federal workforce where 45 percent of employees are aged 50 or over. OPM has stressed that it is up to individual federal agencies to decide when and if they will offer a phased-retirement option to their employees. Tancred Lidderdale, 62, is one of the initial 16 who chose phased retirement. He works for the Energy Department as an economic forecaster, applying highly complex mathematical models to oil and gas markets. He’s had an integral part in

building these models over the past two decades. “I know our agency would miss me,� Lidderdale said. “They knew I was thinking about retirement and mentioned this option as a way to help pass on what I know before I leave.� Lidderdale will work part time for the next two years. But, after nearly three years of waiting, many other federal workers are wondering if the program will even arrive in time for them. “We have people with over 35 years of experience waiting to retire here, and it’s a shame that many of them could walk out the door without the ability to pass that knowledge,� says David Maxwell, 64. Maxwell is an air quality specialist with the Bureau of Land Management. Maxwell says if the bureau does offer the program, he’d be interested. In a statement BLM says the Interior Department recently issued guidance and “expects to complete a draft phasedretirement policy by the spring of 2016.� One explanation for the ongoing delays is that agreements must first be struck between management and labor unions. There are also just basic difficulties of scale. How do you offer the same option to all workers when not all jobs are created equal?

Decorating Room by Room LIVING ROOM: Add a touch of frost to your room with inspiration from a wintery wonderland. Shining, snowy accents, along with plush pillows and a faux fur throw, create a warm, inviting space.
FAMILY FEATURES
mong the most treasured of holiday delights is, as the carol says, decking the halls. It’s the perfect excuse to pull out the bling and bring an aura of festivity and fun to your home, whether it’s for your personal enjoyment or setting the stage to celebrate the season with loved ones. All you need is a little imagination and some design inspiration to create an inviting holiday home, both indoors and out. Shopping at stores recognized for a wide assortment of quality furnishings, such as Pier 1 Imports, will give you a variety of decor that fits every style at an excellent value. Trim your tree beautifully and learn how to artfully incorporate wreaths and garland into your holiday home decor with Pier 1 Imports’ additional tips for a Christmas as merry and bright as you make it.
A
A tree worth gathering ’round As the focal point of your holiday trimmings, your Christmas tree should reflect your personal style and make a statement about your holiday spirit. Start by choosing the right theme or look for your tree, from traditional to glamorous to fantastical. Ultimately, you can carry this theme throughout every element of the tree, from the ornaments to the gift wrap to other accents sprinkled throughout. To get started, select a pre-lit tree in the shape and style that best matches your vision: noble fir or pine, in slim or full silhouettes, the options go on. Be sure to spend some time fluffing branches for a more natural look, or choose one of Pier 1 Imports’ new memory trees with self-shaping branches that let you start decorating right away with the fastest setup ever. Begin decorating by placing large elements. Weave garland through the tree branches first. Then start tucking larger ornaments and decor into the branches, placing evenly throughout. Fill in open spaces in the branches with smaller ornaments and floral picks. Keep adding until the branches are filled. Crown your tree with a decorative topper that fits your theme to add height and an extra personal touch. Adorn the base of the tree with a coordinating tree skirt or collar, and remember, you’re not quite finished until the presents are under the tree. Bundle your gifts with high-quality wrapping paper, gift bags, tags and bows that also fit your theme for a cohesive, finished look from top to bottom.
Creative uses for traditional trimmings Don’t let your vision for a festive holiday home stop at the front door. Wreaths and garlands can actually bring a stylish touch to your holiday decor from the outside in. You can create a wintery landscape in your home by decking your halls, tables and more with inspired Christmas wreath placements. One idea is to nestle a hurricane in a berry wreath for a burst of color and texture; the candlelight will lend an air of cozy comfort. Home is where the hearth is, and a well-adorned mantel is a must. Make a stunning wreath the star of your fireplace display, and incorporate a supporting cast of berry garland and even a woodland creature or two to help make your look complete. Actually, repurposing garland in different locations throughout your house is another inventive way to infuse Christmas spirit. From staircases to bookshelves to headboards, cleverly installed garland sends a message that you have a passion for the season.
You can even use a shimmering Christmas tree garland as a table runner for a simple but elegant touch of joy. Add a natural touch with a garland crafted of pinecones, or go for glamour with golden accents. Find more ideas and garland to fit your personal style at pier1.com. Make your holiday merry and bright with a hint of starlight and sparkle. As you explore decorating ideas, remember to add a lighter touch with hanging ornaments, embroidered accents and candleholders. After all, Christmas is the perfect time to let your inner light shine.
MANTEL: Who says a fire always melts snow? While your hearth heats your home, keep your holiday accents crisp and cool, with plenty of snowflakes, trees and wreaths to go around. STAIRCASE: Think beyond the tree and loop garland and festive lighting, such as Glimmer Strings from Pier 1 Imports, around your banister. DINING ROOM: Craft your own centerpieces with a few essential ingredients. A pretty mixture of evergreens, woodland creatures and metallic pillar stands shines in the soft glow of candlelight. BEDROOM: Create a welcome retreat within your bedroom with an elegant headboard, bright bedding and seasonal accents – everything you need to settle down for a long winter’s nap. OUTDOORS: Take your holiday party out to the patio. Lanterns filled with LED candles, soft pillows and garden stools offer all the festive features of indoor decor but with the durability for outdoors.

Just who will carry on the tradition? If you have ever run track or been to a track meet, you know that in a relay race the first runner passes a baton to the second runner, the second to the third, and the third to the fourth. The race is a team effort and each runner has his or her responsibility of completing their turn on the track. As a team you work for a common goal and everyone knows what should be done for a victory or everyone has an outlook for what the future should hold. All of this has been explained to you by a coach or you are led by a team captain or leader. As life goes on the coaches and leaders move on and leaves the rest of the team behind to fend for themselves. This is the way it is in life also. As our elders pass from this earth
to their heavenly home we are to pick up the baton they have left Gary and carry Andrews it forward trusting in Devotionals the Lord to lead us the right direction. Moses did this for Joshua when Moses was leading the Israelites toward the Promised Land. The Lord had told Moses he would not enter the promise land however Moses trained Joshua in the ministry and taught him leadership abilities so that he could continue the journey. Joshua understood the end result of the journey and knew he would be taking the Israelites into the inheritance God had promised them.
This Thanksgiving season lets be eternally grateful to our Lord and Savior for where He has brought us and thankful to all of the ones that have gone before us living this tradition all year long. Thanksgiving is a special time that was created by special people many, many years ago. Beginning with the American Indians and Pilgrims the torch of this holiday and the special meanings that go with it has been passed down to us through our family and friends. Let’s be happy for the feasting that goes with it but let’s understand the true meaning of it. Let’s also understand it is our job to keep the tradition living not only for our ancestors, but what the Lord has meant to them and also means to us. What about you? Are you leading your family,
Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday – Mark 10:35-45; Monday – Joshua 1:1-18; Tuesday – Matthew 10:16-22; Wednesday – Genesis 22:4-14; Thursday – Philippians 2:3-11; Friday – Proverbs 3:5-6; Saturday – 1 Peter 5:1-11.) loved ones, friends, and even acquaintances to the victory that only Christ Jesus can give? All of those that are around us are watching every step we make and whichever way we lean then they are going to move that way also. This race of life is not easy especially in this sinful world and the political correctness that has taken place. The ones we
are going to pass the baton to needs to see us in a modeling role so they can imitate what we are doing and continue to process when they get ready to meet the Lord also. I learned from my mother and father who learned from their mother and father and the road goes on. It is my hope and desire that my children saw an example through my wife and me that they will follow us and lead our grandchildren in the same direction. Hopefully this will go on until the Lord calls all of us home and ends this sinful place we call a world. Are we carrying the baton of service so that others might see Jesus through us? It is not that we need the attention or gratitude from those around us but it is about giving generously to those that need our help and
helping those who can’t help themselves. Have you been a good coach or leader and trained those that are running with you to catch the baton in their hand and move forward with it? With the Lord’s leadership all of us can do this just as He led Moses to train Joshua to complete the task that the Lord had promised His people and how He allowed the Indians and Pilgrims to come together and celebrate a great harvest! Prayer: Thank you Lord for each and every day you allow me to be on this earth. I pray that I may be the example that you want me to be and that I can pass on to others the good news of you. Amen. (Alcorn County native Gary Andrews of Yazoo City is a columnist for the Daily Corinthian.)
Russian crackdown on Muslims fuels exodus to Islamic State BY NATALIYA VASILYEVA Associated Press
KOMSOMOLSKOYE, Russia — Rashid Magomedov had had enough, his father said. The devout Muslim was detained several times by Russian security police, spent two months in jail on charges that later were dismissed, and complained that police repeatedly planted weapons at his home as a pretext to arrest him. So it was no surprise that the 30-year-old man fled to Syria to join the Islamic State group, leaving a pregnant wife and two children behind in Dagestan, Russia’s southernmost republic. “The fact that he left for Syria — the police are to blame. They wouldn’t leave the boy alone,” said Magomedov’s elderly father, Zaynudin. The heavy-handed security presence in the predominantly Muslim area is an outgrowth of two separatist wars in nearby Chechnya in the mid-1990s that spread an Islamic insurgency throughout the North Caucasus region of Russia. Militants carried out countless attacks, including suicide bombings and kidnappings, to pursue their goal of establishing Islamic fundamentalism, or simply to seek revenge against corrupt officials. This culture of violence has fostered a generation of hardened fighters, which combined with the continuing crackdown by police and other security forces, has made areas like Komsomolskoye a fertile recruiting ground for the Islamic State group. Few efforts are made by Russian authorities to stop young men from leaving. Many in Dagestan see the intimidating security presence as not only fueling the exodus but also serving to rid the region of potential militants by encouraging them to flee. As a result, almost everyone in Komsomolskoye seems to know someone who has left for Syria to join the Islamic State group. Dagestani police say 11 people have left Komsomolskoye to become IS fighters in Syria, but when residents are asked to list the names of those who have
left, the number appears to be far bigger. Nearly a third of the estimated 3,000 Russians who are believed to have gone to fight alongside IS militants in Syria are from Dagestan, a republic of 3 million people, the regional police say. They are men and women from both rich and poor families, from villages where young girls wear the hijab, to towns where women walk around in short skirts. Komsomolskoye is one of several places where officials routinely announce “counterterrorist operations” and send SWAT teams to raid houses of suspected militants at dawn. The main road in and out of the village is guarded around the clock by security officers armed with automatic weapons, and hundreds of residents are under surveillance, with their names kept on a so-called Wahhabi list. Those on the list can expect to get stopped at police checkpoints and sometimes detained for hours. They are visited at home and get phone calls at any time of day from police asking about their plans and whereabouts. They are often required to provide DNA samples and fingerprints. Magomed Magomedov, deputy editor-in-chief of Dagestan’s respected weekly newspaper Chernovik, said the systematic repression of the ultra-conservative Salafi Islam community is pushing its members to the margins of society. “If someone goes to the wrong mosque, he knows that when he leaves he could be taken to the police station, where he would be questioned, he would be fingerprinted for the 20th time,” said the editor, who is not related to the Magomedov family in Komsomolskoye. “This system of keeping people on edge alienates and embitters them, and one in 10 may just decide to take radical steps and go to Syria.” Russian officials have defended the police profiling and raids on the homes of suspected militants, describing them as steps designed to stave off radicalization and deter possible terrorist attacks. Officials at Dagestan’s Inte-
“This system of keeping people on edge alienates and embitters them, and one in 10 may just decide to take radical steps and go to Syria.” Magomed Magomedov Deputy editor-in-chief, Chernovik rior Ministry did not respond to repeated requests for comment. The Associated Press spoke to more than a dozen residents and activists who described how IS extremists use the resentment over the police tactics to recruit new followers. After Friday prayers last week, police rounded up about 50 worshippers at the main Salafi mosque in Dagestan’s capital of Makhachkala. The men were taken to the police station, and some were fingerprinted and asked to give blood samples, according to the Caucasian Knot, a major Russian website that covers the region. Russia’s military operation in Syria that began Sept. 30 has not received unanimous support among Muslims in Dagestan because President Vladimir Putin is seen as siding with Syrian President Bashar Assad in a war against the Sunni opposition. Most Russian Muslims are Sunni. Putin said one of the goals of the air campaign in Syria was to prevent Russians fighting alongside the Islamic State from coming back. The Russian Defense Ministry said its warplane that was shot down Tuesday by Turkey was on a mission against “illegal terrorist groups whose members include a great number of militants from Russia’s North Caucasus.” Most of the young people fleeing Dagestan to escape repression and police persecution have no intention of ever returning
because they would almost certainly face long prison terms. Rustam, a Komsomolskoye villager who refused to give his last name because of fears he would end up on the Wahhabi list, said residents could get put on the list simply by going to the same mosque as a known militant. Unlike some villages that have a centuries-long history of opposing the Russian government, Komsomolskoye was founded only in 1957 around a giant collective farm on a plain in northern Dagestan and named for the Communist youth league. It became the home for thousands of people who were deported by the Soviet government from mountain villages in western Dagestan to work the land, not their traditional occupation. Rashid Magomedov, who was detained repeatedly by police, was described by relatives as a quiet man who dreamed of studying Arabic and the Quran. He first ran into trouble last year. His relatives claim police planted grenades and ammunition at his home several times last year. His 78-year-old father, Zaynudin, even tried telling investigators that a grenade found in one of the raids was his, and was convicted and received a two-year suspended sentence. Zaynudin Magomedov said his son was driven to despair. “When he said: ‘I’m going,’ I asked him why, and he said: ‘What else am I supposed to do? They are not going to leave me in peace,’” the father recounted. His son left for the airport in February, telling his family he was going to Egypt. “He didn’t say he was going to Syria; he said he was going to study,” said his 25-year-old wife, Assiyat, wearing a mauve hijab and a black dress. She held her 8-month-old son, Musa, on her lap in her sparse living room as a TV blasted the cheerful tunes of a children’s show. She earlier lost a brother, saying he was pushed into a car by unknown men as he left a mosque in 2012 and was never seen again. Assiyat keeps a picture of her husband on her tablet, which seems to be her only valuable
possession. In the photo, he is smiling and has a head of curly black hair. He sent her a message via smartphone at the end of June, saying he was going away for 10 days. By July, word reached Komsomolskoye that he had been killed in Syria. She said she has no idea what he was doing there. After Magomedov’s death, his wife was visited by law enforcement officers, who continue to keep tabs on her and her children. The family adheres to the ultra-conservative Salafi movement within Sunni Islam, rather than the Sufism that is traditional in the North Caucasus. The Salafi movement is extremely popular with young Muslims, who dismiss the Sufi preachers as serving the government — willing to condone or cover up official corruption and abuse. Some see Salafism as a chance to attain a purer, stricter religion; others simply do not trust the preachers, who are seen too friendly with the government. Salafis are often viewed by authorities as sympathetic to the Islamic militants and thus considered a security threat, although only a small fraction of Salafis in Dagestan are believed to support the Islamic State. Traditional Islamic leaders, who are backed by the government, said the perceived persecution is no excuse for joining IS. “For a Muslim, no pressure from law enforcement officials can serve as justification, it cannot justify his radicalism and extremism,” said Magomed Rasul Saaduyev, the imam of Dagestan’s main mosque. Many people interviewed by the AP in Dagestan said the security agencies not only fail to stop local men from leaving for Syria but often encourage them to go as a way of washing their hands of a troublesome lot. All refused to be identified, saying they feared for their safety. While impoverished and marginalized Dagestani youth have left for Syria in droves, children from more affluent families with largely secular backgrounds also have been recruited.
