A wrongful death lawsuit over a 2011 multiple-fatality crash in Alcorn County ended in a directed verdict in favor of the defense this week.

In a special trial setting in Alcorn County Circuit Court, Judge Paul Funderburk found on Tuesday that the plaintiff’s case lacked evidence to support the claims in the suit filed

by Ana Gloria Moreno of Morgan County, Ala., on behalf of the beneficiaries of Arnoldo Moreno. The suit sought compensatory and punitive damages from Randall S. Walker of Corinth, driver of the tractor trailer involved in the crash, and TLSL, Inc., of Walnut, the owner of the semi.

The accident happened in November 2011 on U.S. Highway 72 at County Road 747 in western Alcorn County near the Tippah County line at about 5:15 a.m. Three men were pronounced dead at the scene — Arnoldo Moreno, 29; Juan A. Estrada, 35; and Jose P. GarciaGuillen, 35. A fourth person in the 2006 GMC pickup driven

Friends remember Loyd as superhero

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — A superhero was honored in Bear County on Thursday.

At the special ceremony held inside a packed Alcorn Central Middle School gym, those closest to him described the late Andrew Loyd as a lovable, always smiling

teddy bear.

“He had a huge heart and wanted everyone to be happy, feel important and know they were loved,” said principal Nellie Massengill. “Webster’s Dictionary says a superhero has to be someone extraordinary ... Andrew was extraordinary.”

They call it the Toy Store.

A better name might be the Joy Store.

Plenty of Christmas joy was spread during the annual event of the Lighthouse Foundation on Thursday. Close to 200 volunteers packed the Lighthouse gym and grounds to help make Christmas brighter for over 500 families.

One of those many volunteers assisting was Ashley Clausel.

“I enjoy helping a hurting community,” said Clausel, who has been a volunteer fixture for around 12 years. “This is something little I can do to help so many people.”

Christmas music played inside and outside of the Lighthouse Foundation as eligible individuals were greeted with warm smiles.

“So many dominations and people from different walks of life come to together to make this happen.” said volunteer Lauren Butler. “I love the fact parents are able to shop for their children and give the gifts to them on Christmas.”

A trio of first-year volunteers saw the magic of the day.

“I am here to give back and help someone else,” said a smiling Gloria Sheffield.

KOSSUTH — A small rural town is ready to show the rest of Alcorn County how much it loves its community.

Residents of Kossuth will get their chance Saturday.

The town is bringing the sites and sounds of Christmas to Aggie Land with its first Christmas parade.

“The whole town is buzzing about bringing attention to the community we love,” said parade organizer Anthia FollinKing. “We are proud of our heritage and want to celebrate with a parade.”

The parade, set for 4 p.m., will follow the route of the annual Kossuth High School Homecoming parade.

“The parade will start at the arch and disband on the west side of campus at the softball complex,” said Follin-King.

The organizer is asking spectators to enter via the north entrance of the school to keep traffic from bogging down on Highway 2.

She is also requesting spectators leave a road open from the football field house to the new gym so entries can make their way back to the softball complex.

“There will still be plenty of

Street department has many diverse tasks

BY DAVID HUWE For the Daily Corinthian

(Editor’s Note: This is the fifth of a six-part series about the progress which has been made by the City of Corinth over the past four years.)

The City of Corinth Street Department is largely divided into two groups: Solid Waste Division and Street Division.

This department, while not the largest of those within the city, has the most diverse tasks of the various departments of the city. Through its Solid Waste Division, it provides service to residents and business owners through the

removal and disposal of generated waste. Through its Street Division, it maintains two vital pieces of Corinth’s infrastructure: streets and drainage structures.

Solid waste division ■ Residential Garbage Collection – The city services 5,048 residences with garbage pickup. To accomplish this, the department has five residential garbage trucks: three of which run regular routes Monday thru Friday, and all five of which are run on holiday routes. Owing to the im-

portance of this service for the health of the citizens and to assure the fleet of trucks is kept in service, the two latest rearload residential garbage trucks were purchased in April, 2011 and February, 2013 at a combined cost of about $231,000.

■ Commercial Garbage Collection – Corinth presently serves the garbage collection needs of 865 commercial customers, ranging from institutions such as churches to truly commercial customers such as stores and restaurants. The department has two commercial front-load trucks running one route Monday thru Saturday.

by Moreno was Raul Cabrera, 35.

The crash was investigated by the Mississippi Highway Patrol, whose report said it appeared Randall S. Walker of Corinth turned from Road 747 to go west on the highway in a 1998 Peterbilt when the pickup collided with the rear of the semi.

The suit alleged that Walker was driving in a careless manner and failed to yield the right of way, pulling out in front of Moreno’s vehicle. It further alleged that the tractor trailer had not

been properly inspected to determine if the braking and lighting systems were in proper working order.

Court filings show that, in their answers to the lawsuit, Walker and TLSL asserted that the driver of the GMC pickup was speeding at the time of the accident and failed to yield the rightof-way.

A jury was seated on Monday and the plaintiff’s case began on Tuesday.

Christopher Sanspree of Montgomery, Ala., represented the plaintiff, and Chris Deaton of Tupelo represented the defendants.

Smith said after Andrew’s death, his classmates would not allow anyone to sit in his seat in the classroom. Two years later, his seat remains empty, as a remembrance to Andrew.

“He was not only a hero to those lives he saved through his donations, but he is also a hero to these kids,� Smith added. “Because of Andrew, these students are more compassionate, forgiving and helpful ... he’ll be in our heats forever.�

Iuka gears up for Old Town Christmas

Today in History

The historic Church of Our Savior, which was built during the Victorian Period, will be open for visitors from 5:30 to 7 p.m., where the Rev. Nick Phillips will lead three brief evening prayer services at 5:30 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

“This is a perfect way to celebrate the proper spirit of the season,” said Lovelace. “Each of the services will be using the liturgy from the Victorian Era, and each will be followed by a brief talk about the history of the beloved landmark.”

“It seems downtown Iuka is in the middle of being rejuvenated,” she said. “Events like this really help I think.”

Tishomingo County Tourism Council agrees. They came on board as a sponsor during the early stages of planning.

“We know with it being the first event of its kind around here, it might not be perfect, but we know the people of Tishomingo County will approach it with open arms,” Lovelace said.

(For more information, contact Opal Lovelace at 850-6240776, Jan Anglin 662-279-9645 or the Tishomingo County Tourism Council at 662-423-0051.)

IUKA — It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Iuka this week as townspeople gear up for their first ever Old Town Christmas.

Set for tonight from 5:30 to 8 p.m., the 1800s, Dickens styled family event will feature characters dressed in period costume and Christmas carolers. A Victorian Santa will be available for photos and most downtown businesses will remain open during the event.

After the popular downtown photo and history walk held in May, Opal Lovelace and Jan Anglin are teaming up again to coordinate Friday’s holiday themed event.

“We’re really excited to finally be able to make this happen. It is something I’ve been wanting to do for several years and, this year, I’m finally able,” said Lovelace. “I’m so happy Jan came on board to give me a hand and we’ve had some great volunteers step up to help make it happen.”

Lovelace said the holiday outing will feature a full schedule of performing arts including a Iuka

Mississippi poised to control Yellow Creek Port property by both of Mississippi’s senators and all four of its House members.

A news release from Cochran and U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., says the bill authorizes the Tennessee Valley Authority to transfer about 173 acres of the Yellow Creek Port to Mississippi for commercial and manufacturing development.

The Mississippi Legislature in 2011 authorized the state to receive the property after a successful environmental assessment.

Associated Press

IUKA — The U.S. Senate has given final approval to transferring Yellow Creek Port property in northeast Mississippi from federal control to state control.

A bill passed the Senate Thursday, weeks after it passed the House in September. It is headed to President Barack Obama, and a spokesman for U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, RMiss., says the president is expected to sign it into law. It was supported

To assist with the collection of these materials, the city purchased a leaf vacuum truck at a cost of $157,385; two ½-ton pickup trucks; and a 1-ton brush truck.

■ Curbside Class I Rubbish Collection – Materials containing processed

wood, plastics, metal, cardboard or gypsum must go to a properly permitted landfill.

Since the county landfill on Proper Street has been closed, these materials must now go to the county transfer station, where the city is charged a tipping fee for each load.

Street Division ■ Street Maintenance and Repair – Streets are perhaps the most visible of Corinth’s infrastructure. The city has an estimated 175 miles of roadways within the corporate limits. Because of its population, certain of the major roadways are maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), including

U.S. Hwy 45 By-pass, U.S. Hwy 72, and portions of Cass Street and Polk Street (Hwy 145).

Maintenance of the rest of the streets, along with their signalization, is the responsibility of the Street Division. In an effort to have better control over the quality of repairs to the streets, the city board has authorized the purchase of several pieces of equipment that will al-

low the street department to handle some of these repairs in-house. The city has purchased the following pieces of equipment at a cost of about $150,000 that have already been put to use in making better repairs to street cuts or rebuilding sections of streets that did not have a proper base: — Mini excavator — Asphalt roller — Road sweeper

The upheavals that will doom the left

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Democrats seeking to explain their defeat and Republicans trying to take a lesson from their good fortune need look no further than “The New Class Conflict” by Joel Kotkin, published this past September.

Kotkin argues that progressives/liberals/ Democrats have veered away from a concern for the economics of the average American as they embrace what he calls “gentry liberalism” – a green agenda that forsakes growth and perpetuates a new oligarchy of Silicon Valley and Wall Street.

Even as Obama rails against income inequality, Kotkin points out that 95 percent of the income gains of his first term went to the top 1 percent of the country (compared to 45 percent in Clinton’s and 65 percent in Bush43’s tenures). Despite his rhetoric, Obama carried eight of the 10 wealthies counties in America in 2012, some by 2:1 or better.

Obsessed with climate change, the left pushes an anti-growth oligarchic agenda of regulation, taxation and Wall Street subsidies. Even though, as Kotkin notes, McKinsey and Co. have said that sufficient greenhouse gas reduction can be achieved by new technology. McKinsey urges “no change in thermostat settings or appliance use, no downsizing of vehicles, home, or commercial space and traveling the same mileage.” They say there is no need for “a shift to denser urban housing.”

But the left pushes for these limits, Kotkin notes, for everyone but themselves.

He says that the upper classes of the past were restrained in their greed by the need to maintain a reasonably happy labor force and a willing market. But today’s oligarchs can outsource their manufacturing and make vast sums selling goods at relatively low prices to eager consumers.

The results of the 2014 election make it clear that American voters – particularly noncollege whites and Latinos – have learned the lessons Kotkin teaches and are switching away from their past Democratic allegiances.

In a real sense, Kotkin’s findings presage a return to the politics of the 1970s when concerns for civil liberties led liberals to bend over backwards to protect the criminal class and, at the same time, introduced the idea that less is more and argued that the era of growth was over. When first Nixon and then Reagan pushed a law and order agenda and heralded a return of American optimism, the left derided the former as racist and the latter as naive. But voters disagreed and turned from the left and empowered conservatism.

Likewise, the left would rather call opposition to immigration “racist” than deal with the results of the ensuing competition for jobs and wages. Just last week, the Congressional Budget Office predicted that amnesty would doom wages to zero growth for a decade.

Kotkin explores the alliance between what he calls the clerisy and the silicon-wall street oligarchy. clerisy (a merger of the old role of the cleric and the new power of the bureaucracy) are the government regulators and their academic enablers that suppress growth and extinguish expectations of upward mobility.

While no news to conservatives, Kotkin, a centrist with left leanings, legitimizes and elaborates the case that liberalism has left its moorings. It’s first chapter, in particular, is a primer to understand the political evolution we are going through.

(Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, with thy help may I enter into the hope that overcomes the fear of death. May my days be full of aspiration, and through faith may my life move toward the eternal and the sublime. Amen.

Great to see high school heroes on Jumbotron STARKVILLE — While it is the phenomenal college football seasons enjoyed by Mississippi State and Ole Miss in the Southeastern Conference, Delta State in the Gulf South Conference and the NCAA Division II Playoffs, and Alcorn State University in the Southwestern Athletic Conference that gets the lion’s share of state media attention, it is in the Mississippi High School Activities Association state football championships where I most enjoy watching the game.

Mississippi State University’s Davis Wade Stadium was the site of the 2014 MHSAA state football championships this year.

The event moves to VaughtHemingway Stadium at Ole Miss next season. The move from Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson is one that has drawn broad debate, but it was great to see young people playing for championships in a modern stadium with all the electronic bells and whistles, including massive video boards.

When the games are over, Mississippi high school football champions remain on the field spent, triumphant and victorious along

Champions.

Gold medalists. Win-

ners.

And they carried with them the hopes and dreams of an entire community and the pride of all who knew them. My first life as a weekly newspaper editor and publisher had a lot of highs and a lot of lows.

But few highs were higher than Dec. 3-4, 1999. On those days, the Forest High Bearcats defeated Shannon 36-23 to claim the MHSAA State Class 3A football championship, while the Scott Central Rebels took the measure of Noxapater, 28-7, to claim the MHSAA State Class 1A title.

The win marked Forest’s third 3A championship in the 1990s and tied the Bearcats with the Amory Panthers and the Magee Trojans as the only threetime winners of the 3A crown since MHSAA instituted the playoff system in the early 1980s.

For Scott Central, the win was the first state football championship in school history. The Rebels played for the title in 1997, only to lose to the Weir Lions’ juggernaut led by star running back DiCenzo Miller. Lake High School won a state title in the 1980s over Calhoun City, who was back for a title shot this season, losing to speedy Bassfield 60-35.

Either as a fan, a player or a reporter, I’ve been involved with high school football in Mississippi for well over 40 years. It remains in my mind the last bastion of glory in football with college football over the last two decades turning into farm clubs for the National Football League.

There is something magical about walking onto a dimly-lit football field nestled in the pine trees of rural Mississippi on Friday nights and watching kids play their hearts out for friends, kin and the honor of their communities.

And it was here, on these green patches of earth across this state, that Mississippians began to learn to find common ground.

For after school integration began in earnest in Mis-

sissippi in the fall of 1969, public schools saw black and white athletes, coaching staffs, parents, cheerleaders, band members, booster clubs, and fans begin the task of learning to work together for the good of all our children on basketball courts, baseball diamonds and most assuredly on the gridiron.

What’s the worth of a transitory state championship one that will only endure for 365 days until another team from another town steps up to try to claim that title? Money won’t buy the worth of the school and community pride that a state championship instills.

Money won’t buy the racial mistrust and stereotypes such experiences forever erase not only in the minds of those who share the state title experience, but in the hearts as well.

Family values? I get tired of hearing politicians talk about those values. Want to see them in action? Get back to the ball fields and gyms in rural Mississippi and see for yourself.

Rep. Paul Ryan’s hope for a Congress that works Like two predatory animals circling each other, Republicans and Democrats are trying to sort out the meaning of last month’s election and plan strategies for the remaining days of the current Congress and the new one in which Republicans will hold majorities in both houses.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), soon to be chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, spoke with me about the election and his party’s strategy going forward.

“I think (voters) want to see government respect taxpayers again and respect (government’s) limits. And they don’t want to see an executive go unchecked ... people want to see a rebalancing of power because they feel theirs is being sapped away.”

About the recurring threat of a government shutdown, if Republicans don’t go along with President Obama, Ryan says it’s an attempt to make Republicans “the villain in their morality play,” which “they get to draft and write. ...

They’re trying to get us to take the bait. ... We avoid it by defeating them with better ideas. They will play identity politics; we will play aspirational, inspirational, unifying politics.”

There is a debate within conservative circles over whether the outgoing Congress Cal should pass Thomas a continuing resolution Columnist to fund the government only until Republicans are in control of the Senate, or pass a funding bill through next September. Ryan says House Republicans will take a two-step approach he calls “CRomnibus,” a combination of a long-term omnibus spending bill and a shorter-term continuing resolution.

“We’re going to fund all the government except for the immigration stuff,” he says. “That will be the CR, kick it into next year when we’ll have a better team on the field, and then formulate a plan how to deal with this issue. With CRomnibus (Democrats) can’t spend the next three months saying we’re trying to shut down the government.”

Ryan says he has received little word from the White House other than “we want to work with you” on whether President Obama will compromise on anything in spite of his post-election statements in which he said

the message of the election was that voters want the parties to work together.

On immigration and the president’s recent executive order, which would allow 5 million illegal aliens to remain in the country, Ryan says House Republicans will pass a bill early in the new session to finish the fence along the southern border of the U.S. Republicans will attempt to sell the bill on the basis of the rule of law, rather than discrimination against immigrants. “I think there are a lot of Democrats who will vote for it,” he says.

“I think the (Sen.) Joe Manchins (D-WV) of the world and the people who are coming up (for re-election) in 2016 (will also vote for it).

I think we’ll pass the bill (in the Senate) with more than 60 votes.”

Ryan predicts the president is likely to sign it, if he thinks his veto might be overridden.

Ryan has recently been traveling the country with African-American conservative Robert Woodson, founder and president of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, an organization dedicated, according to its website, “with helping residents of low-income neighborhoods address the problems of their communities.” Ryan thinks it’s

possible for Republicans to win more than the single digit number of black votes they have been getting: “I’m learning (conservative) ideas are universal and are needed in struggling communities more than anywhere else ... if we take these great ideas ... and sell them in an ecumenical way, people like it. People are practicing and preaching (these ideas). They may not say it, (but) they are preaching and practicing personal responsibility, upward mobility, redemption, truth, honesty, courage.”

Ryan says Republicans need to show up in minority neighborhoods and ask what has voting for Democrats gotten them? It’s a good question.

Like most other potential presidential candidates, Ryan says he’ll decide early next year whether to run in 2016. He sounds reluctant, given his young family. He says he has never been a seeker of high office, but if the office comes to him?

Well, should opportunity knock, he just might open the door.

Across the Nation were arrested in August after authorities served a search warrant at the Verizon Amphitheatre in Irvine and found an AK-47.

Police were investigating the death of a man who was shot backstage at a concert Jeezy co-headlined with Wiz Khalifa days earlier at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View. Jeezy and the other five, who included a tour bus driver and his wife, were never identified as suspects in the killing.

Jeezy and the others each pleaded not guilty to a single count of felony possession of an assault weapon.

The rapper did not attend Thursday’s hearing but attacked his arrest and the filing of charges. “I pray this had nothing to do with race, but it definitely had nothing to do with evidence,” Jeezy wrote.

He criticized what he called a rush to judgment by the media and police.

“I’m relieved that the truth has ultimately prevailed, and I would like to thank those who have always stood by me including my family and fans,” Jeezy wrote.

Jones said the investigation into the shooting death of Eric Johnson, 38, is ongoing.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Robert C. Gannon granted the dismissal and said he would sign orders allowing Jeezy and his entourage to regain their passports and other property seized from them.

Grand Canyon fills with rare clouds GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz.

-- A rare weather phenomenon at the Grand Canyon had visitors looking out on a sea of thick clouds just below the rim.

The total cloud inversion is expected to hang inside the canyon throughout Thursday.

Cory Mottice of the National Weather Service says the weather event happens about once every several years, though the landmark was treated to one last year.

The fog that has been shrouding parts of northern Arizona is courtesy of recent rains. Mottice says the fog is able to stick around and built up in the Grand Canyon overnight when there is no wind.

With an inversion, the clouds are forced down by warm air and unable to rise.

Car slams through roof in California ESCONDIDO, Calif.

-- A sport utility vehicle went airborne and sailed through the roof of a home in California’s San Diego County, but the residents inside weren’t hurt.

The crash happened in Escondido.

Police tell U-T San Diego the driver of a BMW lost control during a turn, went off a road and plunged through the roof of a home that sits about 20 feet below the roadway.

Sgt. Jim Lanigan says the car was a loaner from a dealership and the driver fled.

Homeowner George Strother says the BMW landed on the hood of his Nissan Pathfinder in his garage and knocked the ceiling down onto another car. He and his wife weren’t hurt.

American Museum planning addition NEW YORK -- The American Museum of Natural History has announced plans to build an addition to house a new science and education center.

The $325 million Gilder Center for Science, Education and Innovation is slated to open in 2019, the museum’s 150th anniversary.

Museum President Ellen Futter says the 218,000-square-foot center will fully integrate science, education and immersive exhibitions.

The center will be on the Columbus Avenue side of the museum’s sprawling grounds near Central Park.

Chicago-based Studio Gang Architects has been selected to design the addition. Ralph Appelbaum Associates will design the exhibitions.

More than $100 million has been raised for the center. It’s named for museum trustee

Rapper’s weapon charge dismissed NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- A felony weapons charge against platinum-selling rapper Young Jeezy has been dismissed after a prosecutor said there wasn’t enough evidence to support the case.

Protest gesture fuels gift by Rams ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Rams will make a donation to a local police charity after five players’ protest over Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson drew the ire of local law enforcement officials.

The St. Louis PostDispatch reports the team will present an unspecified amount of money to The Backstoppers group before Thursday’s home game against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Backstoppers provides financial assistance to families of police officers, firefighters and paramedics killed in the line of duty.

The move comes after five receivers made the “hands up” gesture during pregame introductions at the team’s Nov. 30 home game.

That gesture has become the rallying cry of protesters in Ferguson and around the nation after Brown, who was black, was shot and killed in August by a white police officer.

Child sex case gets ex-Yankee 3 years MINEOLA, N.Y. -- A former New York Yankees outfielder who worked as a youth baseball coach was sentenced Thursday to three years in prison for sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl during baseball practice.

Rosendo “Rusty” Torres, 66, was convicted in July of five counts of first-degree sexual abuse. He was acquitted of sexually abusing another girl. Torres later tried to have the conviction overturned, claiming some jurors failed to disclose that they or family members had been crime victims or had been sexually victimized.

Nassau County Court Judge Tammy Robbins rejected the argument that jurors acted improperly.

“As a professional athlete, people looked up to this defendant and trusted him to teach America’s favorite pastime to their children,” District Attorney Kathleen Rice said in a statement. “Instead, he violated that trust and committed horrible acts against a defenseless young girl.”

Attorney seeks to delay Epps trial JACKSON -- The lawyer for indicted former Mississippi Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps wants to push back the Jan. 5 trial date.

John Colette, in a motion filed Thursday, wrote he received 75 discs of government evidence against Epps Tuesday and needs more time to review it.

He’s asking U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate to delay trial for Epps and Brandon businessman Cecil McCrory.

Colette writes that he has discussed a delay with prosecutors and they don’t object. Continuances are common in federal court.

Epps and McCrory have pleaded not guilty to charges that McCrory gave Epps hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes starting in 2007 in exchange for Epps steering prison contracts to companies McCrory owned or consulted for.

Epps faces hundreds of years in prison and millions in fines.

Court won’t hear estate losses case JACKSON -- The Mississippi Supreme Court has let stand a ruling that state Rep. Brian Aldridge pay more than $200,000 to his aunt, whose estate was plundered by his father.

The court, in a 7-1 decision Thursday, declined to hear an appeal from Aldridge.

In March, the state Appeals Court upheld a 2012 ruling by Lee County judge who ordered Aldridge to pay Florence Aldridge $218,355. The judge said even though Brian Aldridge wasn’t personally liable for the more than $522,000 Florence Aldridge lost because of actions by his father, Louis Aldridge, the Tupelo lawmaker was responsible for what happened with their charity through which Louis Aldridge funneled some of her money.

Brian Aldridge is CEO of Touched By An Angel Ministries, which operates a camp for disabled children and adults.

cent of the electorate voted to go wet.

Aldermen met earlier this week to begin discussions on the alcohol ordinance.

Town clerk Amy White tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that the mayor and aldermen are looking over ordinances adopted by other towns to see what would work best.

White says sales could begin in February once the regulations are approved.

State law allows county seats and cities with at least 5,000 people to vote on legalizing alcohol within the city limits in counties that had previously voted dry.

Salvation Army bell ringer robbed GULFPORT -- A man robbed a Salvation Army bell ringer and ran off with her kettle full of cash just as she was finishing her shift and thanking donors outside a grocery store, according to police accounts and surveillance video.

Michelle Pope said the man pushed her back and grabbed the kettle before she could react.

“Next thing I know, my kettle is running down the road. I tried to chase him down,” she said.

“He was just too fast.

“He really needs to return that bucket, and he really needs to apologize,” Pope told WLOX-TV in Biloxi.

The Tuesday incident was caught on video outside a Winn Dixie in Gulfport.

The video shows the man coming up on the side of Pope and running away. Another camera shows him walking up, wearing a red cap, a blue jacket, jeans and black shoes.

Pope said it was her first holiday season ringing for the Salvation Army. She said she did it to make some extra cash — Salvation Army Maj. Gary Sturdivant said the organization

has been hiring bell ringers at minimum wage because of a lack of volunteers.

“Ringing a bell was a way for me to make a little money to give my kids the Christmas they deserve,” Pope said.

At the end of a shift, a normal bell-ringer gathers $150 to $300 in donations, Sturdivant told The Sun Herald. In his 30 years at the Salvation Army, he added, he has never had a kettle stolen.

“The saddest part is if the guy was that needy, he could have just come down to our center,” Sturdivant said.

Natchex foundation receives $150,000 NATCHEZ -- The Historic Natchez Foundation will use a $150,000 grant to install a fire suppression system and finish work on the basement of a recordskeeping facility.

The money is part of $2 million that the Mississippi Department of Archives and History is making available to local heritage programs.

The new grant money will added to the $134,000 the foundation received last year.

“We are very excited about (the grant) because we have the bulk of the historic Adams County courthouse records in this building,” foundation executive director Mimi Miller told The Natchez Democrat.

“The things that would be lost if there was a fire — as has happened in other counties — are of significant historic value,” she said.

When completed, the archival area will house records for the foundation, the Natchez Historical Society, the courthouse, the Daughters of the American Revolution and Natchez National Park, Miller said.

The foundation also houses the records for the Natchez City Cemetery in its fire rated vault.

— The traffic lights at Cass/Cruise have been upgraded from mechanical to electronic controls.

This upgrade is also being planned for the N.Parkway/Shiloh intersection.

— The city recently spent in excess of $75,000 to improve the intersection of Franklin Street and Wick Street in the revitalized SoCo district.

— Planning is underway to add left turn signals at the Harper/Shiloh intersection.

■ Drainage Maintenance and Repair – Unlike some parts of our nation, Mississippi is blessed with rainfall.

In fact, Corinth gets about 57 inches of rain each year, which is almost 5 inches of rain each month. If that rain were spread out evenly throughout the year, there probably wouldn’t be much worry about how the rain got out of town, but then we’d all probably be miserable due to the complete lack of sunshine. So instead, we get our share of sunshine, and have to make allowance for those other times – usually called storms. The part of our infrastructure that helps us cope with these storms we quite naturally call “storm drains.”

Considering we have about 175 miles of streets and roads, it’s reasonable to assume we have at least 350 miles of publicly-owned storm drains, since roads are usually designed with a storm drain on each side of the road. Some of these are as simple as an open ditch and are quite visible. However, wherever we have curbs and gutters, there are usually a series of inlets and an underground network of pipes that carry the storm water out of the neighborhoods and eventually empty into larger manmade or natural ditches, creeks and rivers.

In addition, since we usually don’t like to drive through ditches, we often have pipes or “culverts” that connect ditches at driveways or streets. All of these ditches, culverts, drain inlets, drain pipes, creeks and rivers must remain clear of blockages

with new asphalt. While this practice is more expensive due to the milling process, it maintains the functional use of the curbs and gutters which help drain away storm water and preserve the streets.

Additionally, where sidewalks are in place, the city is charged under the Americans with Disabilities Act with ultimately making these walking routes accessible to persons with disabilities; this requires that the road surface must meet the sidewalks with a smooth transition which will be accomplished with ramps.

Following are some of the improvements that have been finished or are currently in the planning stages related to the streets: — Replacement of the Oakland School Road bridge – $229,920 — Fillmore Street, Childs to Main – $205,700 ($134,577 MDOT grant) — Proper Street, Cruise to Young – $279,100 ($223,280 MDOT grant) — Sidewalks around National Cemetery, paving on White Street, and improvements to the community center – $125,000 grant from Community Development, Inc. — Repairs and resurfacing of U.S. Hwy 45 by-pass ($4,254,439 by MDOT) — Asphalt overlay on north Polk Street ($170,000 by MDOT) — Traffic study on U.S. Hwy 72 and Alcorn Drive turn signals ($140,000

by MDOT) — Widen S. Parkway at U.S. Hwy 72 - $345,760 ($260,000 MDOT grant) — Improvements to Meigg Street sidewalks and lighting from Cass to S. Parkway – $801,920 ($554,208 MDOT grant) — Street and sidewalk improvements to Webster Street from Linden to Bunch following major repairs to the sanitary sewer along this street.

and be properly sloped in order for the water to get out of Corinth and keep us from being flooded.

There are six major drainage basins within Corinth, most of which are known by the creeks into which they empty: Bridge Creek Basin, Phillips Creek Basin, Elam Creek Basin, Turner Creek Basin, Clear Creek Basin and West Corinth Basin. Following the floods experienced in 2010 and 2011, a lot of effort and expense were directed at making sure these creeks were cleared and able to pass their maximum flow. Consequently, the city initially spent about $600,000 to clear the worst areas.

Since then, the city has started a routine program of spraying the vegetation to help keep the growth under control.

Apart from keeping the creeks themselves clear of vegetation and debris, the city commissioned a study of the local storm drainage structures in the following sub-basins: Oak Lane Basin, Tishomingo Basin, Downtown Basin and the Wal-Mart Basin.

These are the sub-basins that have experienced repeated flooding affecting the greatest number of residences and businesses. The study, costing $303,000 with $153,000 coming from an Appalachian Regional Commission grant, surveyed the structures in these areas to determine size, slope and condition of the components. The data was incorporated into a computer program so that Street Division employees can easily locate drainage structures that may be responsible for local flooding issues.

Following the 2010 and 2011 flood events, which were eligible for federal and state funding, the city received over $1.4 million from FEMA and MEMA for repairs to damaged city-owned infrastructure. The city was required to provide matching funds of just 5 percent – a tremendous savings to the city. The lion’s share of this money went to repair a large culvert pipe in the South Corinth neighborhood that extended from Ross Street to Cass Street. The

rest of the funds were used for debris removal, street and culvert repairs, and repairs at the waste treatment plant.

One of the largest drainage infrastructure projects that will be undertaken over the next two years are drainage improvements to the Oak Lane and Tishomingo sub-basins. This project, which will be split into two contracts, received the bulk of its funding from the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. To obtain the $4,094,624 grant, the city is required to provide matching funds in the amount of $1,022,656.

Critical to keeping two of its streets open during heavy rainfall are the pumps that keep the underpasses on Cass Street and Fulton Drive clear of water. The city recently purchased two new pumps at a cost of $34,466 for these drainage dumps.

■ Bush Hog Routes – In order to keep Corinth looking attractive, the city is required to periodically bush hog certain properties, including some of the drainage ditches. The street department purchased a larger tractor this year to enable it to use a bush hog attachment with a longer boom reach.

■ Mowing/Trimming – Corinth owns a variety of properties around town, ranging from the old fairgrounds property to the former Wurlitzer site. To help maintain the properties owned by the city, the street department recently purchased a new zero-turn lawnmower to add to its list of resources.

■ Animal Control – A full-time animal control officer is employed by the street department.

Whether through the removal of our household rubbish, or the maintenance of our streets and storm drainage structures, it’s evident the street department plays a vital role in contributing to the quality of life we enjoy in Corinth.

Best-loved Christmas film has interesting setting, plot Sit back for a moment: you are now in Bedford Falls, as the sign reads in the movie.

The snow is falling, and Harry Bailey is on his way home from war and receipt of the Medal of Honor for his efforts in World War II. The town, with its grid of downtown businesses, looks like most small towns, and the scene is a hazy black and white, framed by cascading snow in the streetlights.

In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Bedford Falls is a small fictional town in upstate New York, not unlike Seneca Falls, the city upon which film director Frank Capra likely based it. No one knows for sure whether Capra intended the similarities to Seneca Falls in the setting for his movie depiction, but several similarities are apparent: both were mill towns; both had grassy medians running through town; both boast Victorian architecture and a large Italian population; both are close to Rochester, Buffalo, and Elmira, cities THAT are mentioned in the movie.

Professor apologizes for rant at restaurant The Associated Press

BOSTON — A Harvard Business School instructor who blasted a Bostonarea Chinese restaurant for overcharging him by $4 on a takeout order apologized Wednesday for a lengthy and widely publicized email exchange with restaurant management.

Associate professor Benjamin Edelman had threatened legal action and demanded the Sichuan Garden in Brookline compensate all other customers who might have been similarly overcharged after he said it charged him $1 more on each of the four items he ordered for takeout last week.

But after facing wide criticism, Edelman posted a brief message on his personal website saying he has reached out to apologize to Ran Duan, who helps manage his parent’s restaurant business: “Having reflected on my interaction with Ran, including what I said and how I said it, it’s clear that I was very much out of line. I aspire to act with great respect and humility in dealing with others, no matter what the situation. Clearly I failed to do so. I am sorry, and I intend to do better in the future.”

In emails first made public by boston.com, Duan acknowledged to Edelman that the prices listed on the restaurant’s website were out of date.

He promised to update them soon and offered to refund the overages.

Despite its Northeastern setting, the movie was actually filmed in 90-degree heat at a studio in EnciStacy no, California, Jones and the snow was manmade.

The Dowtowner In fact, almost 3,000 tons of ice shavings were brought in to create the effect of real snow.

It was merely a fluke the movie has become one of the bestknown and best-loved movies of all time. In 1974, the copyright lapsed, putting the film into the public domain, meaning broadcast and cable television stations could show it on a whim without any cost — even when it was not the Christmas season. In 1991, in the Tampa Bay area, it aired 22 times.

In 1994, the original owner of the copyright, Republic Pictures, signed a deal with NBC, granting the exclusive rights to broadcast the movie, which it

typically does between one and three times per year. However, because of the repetitive showings of the movie during the time its copyright had lapsed, the public came to know it well — down to every line of dialogue for some avid viewers.

Despite its well-loved status, the storyline is actually quite depressing. As the movie opens, George Bailey, the protagonist, is a suicidal Depression-era down-on-his luck family man who has been stuck in the small town of Bedford Falls trying to maintain an inherited family loan business. The town is owned mostly by a greedy, soulless curmudgeon who is George’s nemesis.

In the exposition of the movie, George is driven to suicide.

He is faced with potential scandal because of a simple mistake his scatterbrained uncle has made, one for which he will likely take blame and for which he will receive prison time.

In some ways, George’s station in life is already a prison: he never envisioned living in a

drafty old house, saddled with a wife and four children, trying to nickel and dime his way through life. Instead, he wanted to travel the world and build magnificent buildings. He is a man who has sacrificed his chosen destiny to obligations in his hometown, which is a sort of trap.

Sound dismal enough?

However, the love of his family and friends and their subsequent appeals to the Deity send Clarence, his guardian angel, scurrying to earth hopefully to rescue a forlorn George from jumping to his death on a bridge.

Ultimately, those same family and friends are the ones who chip in to save George from financial ruin. After all, as Clarence reminds him in the inscription of his gift of the book Tom Sawyer to him: “No man is a failure who has friends.”

Yes, the movie’s maudlin, overly sentimental — but it’s still hard to watch parts of it without feeling a lump in the throat. It’s a hard movie to de-

scribe, evident when Capra tried to describe it to Jimmy Stewart, who took the starring role.

Capra finally said, “This ... this story doesn’t tell very well, does it?” Stewart replied: “Frank, if you want to do a movie about me committing suicide with an angel with no wings named Clarence, I’m your man.”

However, in the end, the story pans out. It reinforces the message that despite the aloneness most humans feel sometimes, their lives really do matter to those around them.

Always beware of the ‘Domino Effect’ “For want of a nail the shoe was lost.

For want of a shoe the horse was lost.

For want of a horse the rider was lost.

For want of a rider the message was lost.

For want of a message the battle was lost.

For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.

And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.”

As you have experienced, small problems have the ability to mushroom into larger ones with incredible speed.

Yet, there is a tendency to ignore or put off addressing issues that warrant your attention.

There are numerous reasons for this; procrastination, avoidance, denial, lack of awareness, lack of time, or hoping things will either fix themselves or go away. Regardless of why you don’t address them, unresolved problems grow quickly and even multiply.

No matter how many times a person is burned by growing problems, many still don’t change their approach. If you want things to change, you have to change them. Remember, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is one definition of insanity.

Bigger problems generate more stress than

smaller ones. Constant stress creates its own secondary problems.

Bryan J u d g Golden ment is impaired.

Dare to Live Without Limits P a t i e n c e is diminished. All types of physical problems can follow as well.

At some point you do have to address your problems. It makes so much more sense to handle them while they are still small and more easily rectified. As you have already learned, putting them off doesn’t work.

So you need to develop a more effective strategy.

Begin by differentiating problems from symptoms. Problems lead to symptoms which themselves cause additional secondary problems if the original problems are ignored. Not only do ignored problems grow in size, they also grow in number.

Treating only symp-

toms leaves problems untouched. For example, if a lost nail causes the horseshoe to shift, the horse would start limping. So, if you erroneously identify the limp as the problem, you would then allow the horse to rest. Unless and until you accurately recognize the problem as a missing nail, you won’t be able to formulate a solution. For maximum effectiveness, the root problem must be rectified.

Once you identify the root problem, the exact cause must be determined and corrected.

Otherwise, the problem will keep recurring.

Since, the missing nail is the real problem, it should be replaced. But why did it fall out in the first place? Was it the wrong size, the wrong shape, the wrong type, worn out, or defective?

Unless it was worn or defective, the nail will continue to fall out unless a different type is used.

Your goal is to correct the root cause of a problem while it is still small and has not yet gener-

ated secondary problems.

The sooner you identify and fix a problem, the better.

Problems that initially appear overwhelming should be broken down into smaller, manageable pieces. Each component can then be tackled individually. This approach enables you to expeditiously handle unwieldy issues.

Correcting problems as they arise prevents a problem backlog. Rather than being constantly bogged down by problems, you have the energy and freedom to stay on

your desired course. You will be able to quickly identify and fix problems as they arise. Your stress level will drop while enthusiasm rises.

No longer will you feel as if you are on a treadmill which is going a little faster than you can keep up.

HOOKED ON A FEELING

FRESH CUT CHRISTMAS TREES ARE HERE!

Fraser and Noble Trees, White Pine/Fraser Garland.

3204 CR 402 (S. Fulton Dr.) Corinth, MS 662.286.6005

When B.J. Thomas sung he was “hooked on a feeling” and “high on believing”, he was singing of romantic love, not the supreme love we should have for God (Matthew 22:37).

In Christianity, emotions are the result of salvation and never (in Scripture, at least) the proof of salvation. The Ethiopian who “went on his was rejoicing” as recorded in Acts 8:39 was happy because he had heard the gospel from Philip the evangelist, believed it, confessed his faith in Jesus, and was baptized in order to be saved (verses 26-38). In other words, he had obeyed the gospel and rejoiced in his forgiveness just as the first members of the Lord’s Church had earlier (Acts 2:37-47).

In His earthly ministry, Jesus said some would go through life “feeling” they were saved, only to find out in judgment that they were not (Matthew 7:21-23). In this passage He says people “enter the kingdom of heaven” as a result of doing “the will of My Father in heaven”, not as a result of feeling something in their hearts. Saying, “I wouldn’t trade the way I feel for a stack of Bibles 10 foot high” shows a lack of understanding of God’s Truth and borders on mockery.

Can one, then, be certain of their salvation? Yes! But only by abiding in the Word of truth (John 8:31-32), obeying God’s plan of redemption as revealed in that Word (John 3:5; Matthew 28:18-20; Romans 6:4-6; 10:8-10; Acts 22:16, and others), and continuing to “walk in the light” of the Lord (I John 1:6-9). Keeping His commandments, though none of us can do so perfectly, is required of us, not to “earn” our salvation, but as proof of our love. Such is not burdensome (I John 5:3; Matthew 11:30).

Even after obeying the gospel, some have difficulty accepting the gift of God. To these, John re-affirms it is the truth that assures our hearts, not our hearts that assures the truth (I John 3:19). No one has ever (or will ever) be saved by a dead, non-obedient faith (James 2:14-26). Jesus is the “author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him” (Hebrews 5:9).

We can know who saves and what He expects of us in order to be saved. We know this because He has revealed this in His Word, not because of our feelings. If you are having difficulty understanding some part of the Gospel, or if you have any questions about how you stand before God right now, you owe it to yourself to look into what God has revealed. If we can help, please write us at the address below, or visit us in worship and Bible study.

Today

Price hikes at bay Economists predict that the producer price index inched lower last month.

The index, a measure of prices that producers receive for their goods and services, has barely budged this year, thanks partly to falling energy costs. Producer prices increased only 1.6 percent in the 12 months ending in September, substantially below the Federal Reserve’s target. The Labor Department reports November’s producer price index today.

Dear Annie: I’ve been living with “Marcus” for two years, and we’ve known each other for twice that long. We are both in our late 40s. Soon after we moved in together, Marcus became seriously ill. We’ve been through five invasive surgeries, and there may be more.

The most serious illness seems to be under control, but now other debilitating health issues are popping up on the horizon, and I just don’t know what to do. Part of me wants desperately to leave, yet I feel incredibly guilty for even thinking of it.

We don’t fight, and we have our good moments.

I still am attracted to him, but there is absolutely no sex unless I initiate it -which I’ve stopped doing because he always has discomfort or pain. We sometimes talk about it, and he says, “You didn’t sign up for this. Why are you still here?”

Marcus spoke to his doctor about the lack of desire, some of which may be attributed to painkillers, but they have no resolution.

I’ve lost weight, take good care of myself and dress nicely -- still nothing. He says, “It’s not you, it’s me.”

I feel shallow for missing sex so much, but I honestly can’t imagine living the rest of my life without it. I suggested counseling, with or without me, but Marcus

Annie’s Mailbox refused. When he dismisses suggestions to work on us, I end up feeling more like a nurse than a lover.

And the guilt is eating me up. What can I do? -- Faith Dear Faith: Marcus has serious health issues, and that, plus medication, is undoubtedly what is causing his lack of desire.

It isn’t anything you are doing. And he, too, feels guilt, because his illness prevents you from having the relationship you envisioned. He may have decided against counseling so that you will have a reason to leave him. Please know that your feelings are not unusual. Only you can decide whether or not you love him enough to see him through this, with or without sex.

Counseling will help you, even if Marcus chooses not to go.

Dear Annie: I was diagnosed with epilepsy three years ago, but had milder forms of seizures that went undiagnosed for 23 years. I am on medications that interfere with relationships

at home and work.

Of all the major chronic medical conditions, epilepsy is surely one of the least understood. Seizures are unpredictable electrical disturbances in the brain that affect awareness, movement and sensation.

Epilepsy is not contagious, it is not a mental illness, and it is not mental retardation.

There are more than 40 types of epilepsy that affect more than three million people in the U.S. and 65 million worldwide. The Epilepsy Foundation has information to help raise awareness. Please get the word out. -- Can’t Drive but Can Text Dear Can’t Drive: Thank you for giving us the opportunity.

National Epilepsy Awareness Month was in November, but awareness is needed all year round.

We hope our readers will check out the Epilepsy Foundation at epilepsy.com and find out how they can help.

Mom recruits family to make holiday happy for co-worker DEAR ABBY: I work with a wonderful, good-hearted young woman who holds a low-paying job. She’s raising three children alone, and I know she struggles to provide the necessities. I have learned that the holidays at their home are pretty meager.

My husAbigail band and I been Van Buren have discussing the many Dear Abby frivolous indulgences at our family Christmas and would like to suggest to our grown children that this year we pool our resources and send the money anonymously to this family a week or so before Christmas.

Would it be rude to ask our kids for the money in advance?

Unfortunately, there may be a couple who would prefer to receive gifts. How should we handle this? -- TENNESSEE READER DEAR READER: Your impulse is generous. Start now by telling your grown children, “You know, I’ve been thinking ...” then discuss what you’re considering and the reasons for it. Make participation in the

project voluntary so that those who wish to can contribute the money they would have spent on gifts for you to the fund.

Write (small) checks to those who would rather receive gifts than donate to your co-worker.

You can’t “force” others to be generous, and frankly, you shouldn’t try.

DEAR ABBY: When visiting friends I usually prefer to stay in a hotel, but my friend insisted I stay at her place so we could have more time to visit and make the most of our weekend together.

On my last day, I woke up to find a note on my bedroom door instructing me how to clean the bedroom and bathroom in a specific manner before my departure.

I was mortified, not only by the request but by the way the note was written, requesting that I wipe down the shower walls and tub, and bag my trash.

I complied with her request, but I wasn’t happy. I left the bathroom in a cleaner condition than it was when I arrived.

When I got home I sent my hostess a thank-you note for her hospitality. I haven’t spoken to her since.

Over the years, I have entertained many guests in my home. I have always provided

them with meals, drinks, towels and a clean room. I have never left a note for anyone to clean.

Is there a new etiquette policy for guests that I don’t know about? -- STILL UPSET IN SEATTLE DEAR STILL UPSET: I have never heard of any rule of etiquette that says this was OK. However, the night before you were scheduled to leave, you should have asked your hostess how she would like the room left.

I have “houseguested” in homes in which I was asked to strip the bed and leave my used towels in the laundry room when my visit was over.

And as a polite guest, I happily complied.

However, I have never been told to scrub a bathroom or been issued instructions on how to do it. If you choose to speak to this woman again, you have nothing to lose by telling her how you felt after reading her note -- and I think you should.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You feel like you’re being worked over by an infomercial.

Suddenly you feel you absolutely have to have the thing you didn’t even know existed until now. There’s a trick to marketing. Factor that into your reasoning.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When you are interested in others, it is easy to be interesting to others. Let this be your guiding principle in business and on the social front, and you’ll come out of the day with a new friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The philosophical question of the day: Is time ever really wasted? Just because you’re not doing what you planned doesn’t mean that what you’re doing is worthless. How can you live the detours more fully?

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It’s like the moon was whispering to you last night in your sleep, informing your dreams and widening your point of view to include new possibilities.

This contributes to an afternoon

change of mind or heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t mind making sacrifices for someone else’s cause, but it’s better if that cause is in line with your own. Also, be honest in your assessment of how large a sacrifice this actually is and how much time it will take.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Sometimes your friends motivate you with a pep talk or encouragement, but now they motivate you just by being who they are. It either inspires you or ignites the spirit of competition.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your work to clear surfaces around you will also be effective in clearing your mind. Physically and mentally, you are organizing yourself for the next adventure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

As much as you would like to teleport from here to there, your travels will include a journey.

Later you’ll be grateful for the inconvenience of transportation because it’s where all the fun happens.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Accepting how people are (instead of projecting onto them the expectations of who you want them to be) will help you deal most effectively today. In fact, it’s why you’ll be considered “cool.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may feel as though you’re being blocked from getting what you want. Instead of thinking of this blockage as a wall, think of it as a gate with a door. You just need to know the key code. Ask around.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When past mistakes are brought to the surface, the environment becomes a danger zone. Be the bigger person, step back, let go of blame and focus on how to fix the real problem at hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Self-development is favored, but only if you are developing in the ways that matter to you.

No one gets happier by trying to measure up to someone else’s rating system.

No arrests made in case of woman burned alive The Associated Press

COURTLAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jessica Chambers was a regular at the rural convenience store gas station where Ali Fadhel worked, and the two often chatted. On Saturday, she came by in a dark-colored sweater and pajama pants that looked like sweats. She put $14 worth of gas in her car, more than the $5 or so she usually purchased, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked her, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why are you putting so much gas?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going somewhere,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Fadhel said.

An hour and a half later, she was found along a back road, her body on fire, severe burns covering her. She was able to briefly talk to firefighters before she was airlifted to a Memphis hospital, where she died of thermal injuries.

Chambers, 19, had told the cashier she was going

to make a stop before going home, he told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she knew she had a problem with somebody, she would have told me,â&#x20AC;?

Fadhel said.

On her way out, Chambers got a call on her cellphone, he said. After she pumped gas, she reentered the store, bought cigarettes, and drove away, headed south on the highway, he said.

On Thursday, officials said they were still working to determine who doused her with a flammable liquid and set her on fire. They said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made no arrests and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect any in the near future, but that they were considering all possibilities and following up on all tips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all the years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this, this is an absolutely horrendous, horrendous case,â&#x20AC;? district

attorney John Champion said at a news conference.

He described Courtland as a small community rocked by the death and said he hopes people will come forward with information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not a lot of street talk out there about who may or may not have done this,â&#x20AC;? he said, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;we feel like somebody out there has heard something.â&#x20AC;?

Jay Hale, an assistant district attorney who handles cases in Panola County, confirmed that Chambers spoke to firefighters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps giving them clues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discuss what she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was able to communicate. It was difficult,â&#x20AC;? Hale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know what she said, but we are not commenting on what she said,â&#x20AC;? Champion confirmed at the news con-

ference.

Champion told The AP that officials have a preliminary autopsy report and are awaiting the final one but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t release either because they are part of the ongoing investigation.

Among the clues police are examining: surveillance video showing Chambers at the gas station, cellphone records from numerous people and interviews with potential witnesses, Hale said.

The surveillance video shows Chambers walking toward the front door of the convenience store in Courtland, which is about an hour south of Memphis, Tennessee. She then stopped, turned to her left, and walked out of the picture.

Hale said he could not comment on Fadhelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements about Cham-

bersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time there.

Relatives of Chambers were trying to cope with the loss. A woman who answered the door of the home of her father, Ben Chambers, on Wednesday said he was feeling bad and was unable to speak with reporters. Chambers told The Huffington Post that his daughter had left her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in Courtland not long before she was found.

Chambersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grandmother, Dot Boatright, said the family was doing as well as can be expected.

Boatright said she â&#x20AC;&#x153;went all to piecesâ&#x20AC;? when she heard about Chambersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; death.

Not much was immediately revealed about the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background by authorities, but Boatright said of her granddaughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was just a sweet little girl.â&#x20AC;? At Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news conference, officials

said she had just graduated from high school and was about to start her life.

Amanda Prince, who identified herself as Jessica Chambersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; older sister, told CNN Wednesday night that the family is â&#x20AC;&#x153;shocked, lost ... confused, angry, hurt.â&#x20AC;?

Asked whether she knew of anyone who had a grudge against her sister or might want to hurt her, Prince replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one.

She was loved by everybody. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who would want to do this or why.â&#x20AC;?

Prince described her sister as â&#x20AC;&#x153;very athleticâ&#x20AC;? and outgoing, and said that at various times she had expressed interest in becoming a nurse, a dentist and a writer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was happy all the time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She made everyone laugh. She lit up a room. ... She was just full of life.â&#x20AC;?

Thousands lose power as violent storm soaks California The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A powerful storm churned through Northern California on Thursday, knocking out power to tens of thousands and delaying commuters while soaking the region with much-needed rain.

Throughout the Bay Area, waves slammed onto waterfronts, ferries were bound to their docks, many schools canceled classes and the gusting winds had motorists tightly gripping their steering wheels on the Golden Gate Bridge, where managers created a buffer zone to prevent head-on collisions by swerving cars.

The iconic suspension bridge is engineered to swing in cross winds, and engineers were standing by, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;the concern we have right now is more

Sea ordeal reconnects estranged father, son

about vehicles,â&#x20AC;? spokeswoman Priya David Clemens said.

In Santa Cruz, about an hour south of San Francisco, an elementary school student was trapped for about 15 minutes when an 80-foot tree fell on him, pinning his arm and shoulder until rescuers with chain saws cut it apart. He was taken to a hospital in good condition but likely a fractured arm, officials said.

Pacific Gas & Electric reported more than 117,500 customers were without power in the Bay Area. The utilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online map showed lights out over thousands of square miles, from Humboldt near the Oregon border to Big Sur on the Central Coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a two-pronged punch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wind and rain. Once the ground gets

saturated and the winds are howling, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bigger chance of trees going down on power lines,â&#x20AC;? said National Weather Service forecaster Diana Henderson in Monterey.

There were multiple accidents on flooded roads and highways, but no initial reports of serious injuries. Many highways, including Interstate 5, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical northsouth thruway, were closed.

This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pineapple Expressâ&#x20AC;? storm blowing southward down the coast was unusual not only for its force, but for its warmth: San Francisco was a balmy 60 degrees, about 5 degrees above average for this time of year, so many people were taking it in stride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big storm supposedly, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treating it like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hur-

Bay, despite waves that licked at the rails and rocked boats from side to side.

Many flights at San Francisco International Airport were delayed or canceled. Elaine Silver got in with her husband from Canada for a medical conference just ahead of the storm, after a 10hour layover in Toronto due to snow. Then they woke up without power in their San Francisco hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a piece of cake,â&#x20AC;? she said, dressed in rain gear as they wandered around the abandoned city.

East Coast kids revel in snow days, but closures are rare on the West

Coast, so the cancellation of Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classes was a novelty for dozens of schools in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Santa Cruz County.

Surfers welcomed the forecast of big, choppy waves with swells topping 15 feet, and ski resorts in the northern Sierra Nevada were hoping for more than 2 feet of snow.

Still, the storm rattled many people, and forecasters warned the impact could get worse.

Mudslides were possible, especially in areas affected by this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildfires, and with as much as 8 inches of rain falling, rivers and creeks were rising fast.

The Associated Press

HONOLULU â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Hawaii fisherman who rode out massive waves and ate raw fish to survive 12 days lost at sea said the ordeal was worthwhile because it led to him reconnecting with the son heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lost touch with for years.

Ron Ingraham was rescued this week after putting out a mayday on Thanksgiving saying he was in danger of sinking.

He had been trying to sail from Molokai, where he lives, to Lanai, where he often goes fishing.

But he got caught in a storm, which knocked out his engine and pummeled his boat with 20-foot waves. Ingraham recalled the details Thursday, a day after returning to Molokai and spending the night in the docked vessel he survived in that he calls home.

The Coast Guard launched an extensive search after getting his mayday. But officials decided to call off the search Dec. 1 and contacted his next of kin, 43-year-old son Zakary Ingraham in Missouri.

Regretting their 15 years or more of lost contact, Zakary Ingraham didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to believe his father was gone.

Meanwhile, the fisherman was fighting to stay alive, eating mahi-mahi and tuna from the ocean.

Then on Tuesday morning, he tried a lastditch effort. He stuck a wire hanger in his radio and managed to get off a garbled transmission that led to a Navy ship finding him.

ricane,â&#x20AC;? said Malcolm Oubre, who works as an administrative assistant in San Francisco. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just â&#x20AC;&#x153;lots of rain, lots of wind.â&#x20AC;?

Commuters straggled into work. Most trains were delayed on the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, which carries 400,000 riders daily through tunnels under the bay to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban core. Flooding closed the San Bruno station south of San Francisco, and a power outage closed the busy Montgomery station downtown.

Some ferry departures were canceled, keeping tourists from visiting Alcatraz Island, but others crossed the San Francisco

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Mississippi State and Georgia Tech are no strangers to the Orange Bowl, and neither are the teams’ coaches.

The teams have combined to play in eight Orange Bowls, though this will be Mississippi State’s first appearance since 1941 when the eighth-ranked Bulldogs (10-2) square off against the No. 10 Yellow Jackets (10-3) at Sun Life Stadium on New Year’s Eve. The Bulldogs beat Georgetown 14-7 in 1941, but lost in their other appearance in

1937.

“They actually just found the trophy from ‘41 the other day, and we have it all cleaned up and out on display now,” said Mississippi State coach Mullen, who also is a veteran of two Orange Bowl games.

He was an assistant at Syracuse when they played Florida in the 1999 game, and an offensive coordinator with the Gators in the 2009 BCS national championship game.

Mullen believes that can help the Bulldogs.

“I think my experience of having been here and know-

ing what it’s about, I know how unbelievable it is to be here,” Mullen said.

Georgia Tech has played in six Orange Bowls, going 3-3.

Paul Johnson coached the team in their last appearance, a 241-4 loss to Iowa after the 2009 season.

The Yellow Jackets are accustomed to playing in the postseason; this is Georgia Tech’s 18th consecutive bowl game. Johnson and his squad are well aware of the streak.

“It is a source of pride for our program,” Johnson said.

“We don’t want to be the

team that breaks it. It’s quite a streak.”

The Yellow Jackets also have had success against Mississippi State, going 4-0 against the Bulldogs.

But that’s not the history Mullen is focused on.

“For our program it is so special,” he said of playing in the Orange Bowl. “A lot of people wondered what we could do and accomplish. It’s an unbelievable reward for us to come and play in one of the most prestigious bowls there is with the historical ramifications of doing so.”

No replay for disputed HS football game The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — The ruling on the field stands: A high school football team from a tiny Oklahoma town is moving on to the state semifinals, having topped an Oklahoma City powerhouse after an improperly enforced penalty with 64 seconds left.

“There is neither statute nor case law allowing this court discretion to order the replay of a high school football game,” Judge Bernard Jones said Thursday in an order regarding the Nov. 28 game between Douglass and Locust Grove, which Locust Grove won 20-19.

Oklahoma City Public Schools, to which Douglass referred all questions, said it would not pursue further legal action.

“Unfortunately, the outcome of the hearing did not produce the results we hoped for. The judge’s decision presents an opportunity for the (Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association) to review and address the processes and procedures that affect every student athlete in Oklahoma,” OKCPS District Athletic Director Keith Sinor said Thursday.

The association scheduled the 3A semifinal between Locust Grove and Heritage Hall for 7 p.m. Friday; the other semifinal was played Dec. 5.

“Around the school right now, I think everybody is kind of excited,” Locust Grove athletic director Justin Brown said. “Everybody’s getting geared back up again. It’s been about two weeks since we’ve played. ... It’s a done deal. They’re ready to go.”

OSSAA Executive Director Ed Sheakley said in a statement that he was grateful to both schools for agreeing to schedule the semifinal as soon as possible.

“Throughout this controversy, we have been focused on minimizing any delay to the completion of the 3A playoffs, and avoiding interference in other activities and semester finals for member schools and their students,” Sheakley said.

The case began when an improperly enforced penalty erased a touchdown that would have put Douglass ahead with 64 seconds left. The penalty should have been enforced on the extra point or the kickoff instead of wipPlease see APPEAL | 13A

Tyran Davis was one of four Biggersville players to score in double figures as the Lions ended a 10-game losing streak with a win over Myrtle on Thursday.

Biggersville boys win first at the buzzer

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

BIGGERSVILLE — Bradley Davis got the roll, and the Lions got the win.

Davis’ 3-pointer at the buzzer snapped a 68-68 tie and ended Biggersville’s 10game losing streak on Thursday.

The Lions came in at 0-9 this season before getting past Myrtle 71-68.

Biggersville had dropped some close games, but hadn’t tasted victory since a 10148 whopping of West Union in the opening round of the Class 1A North Half Tournament on Feb. 25.

The Lions staged a huge

comeback to down another Union County team. Myrtle (8-4) took a nine-point lead at 57-48 into the fourth quarter.

Biggersville tallied 23 points in the final frame, connecting on six buckets -- four of the extra-point variety -- and making just 7 of 14 attempts from the line.

Devonte Spears tallied 11 of his game-high 27 in the fourth. Cameron Barnett got five of his 15 in the frame and Davis added five, including the game winner.

B. Davis finished with 12 and Tyran Davis added 10 as the five double-figure scorers accounted for all but seven points.

• Biggersville got 64 points from Jada Tubbs, Tyler Shelley and Savannah Davis in rolling to a 74-45 win in the opener.

Tubbs paced all scorers with 24 for the Lady Lions, who improved to 4-5.

Shelley had nine of her 21 points in the second quarter as Biggersville extended its halftime advantage to 16. Davis got 10 of her 19 and Tubbs added seven more in the first as BHS jumped out to a 24-14 lead.

Oregon’s Mariota wins big at awards show The Associated Press

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Marcus Mariota put up nearly flawless numbers this season in leading Oregon to a spot in the first College Football Playoff.

At the College Football Awards Show on Thursday night, he went a perfect 3 for 3.

Mariota opened the night by winning the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award,

and closed it by claiming the Maxwell Award, given to the college player of the year. In a separate announcement he also was selected the Walter Camp National Player of the Year.

“It’s surreal. It’s surreal.

It really all is,” Mariota said.

“Growing up as a kid you always kind of see these award shows. To say that I’m a part of really this fraternity ... it’s really just a blessing.”

Mariota said this week he has never been completely comfortable with the spotlight brought on by winning awards. Thursday there was no way he could escape it.

Already considered the front-runner to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, he now hopes to become the first player to win the Maxwell Award and Heisman in the same season since Auburn quarterback Cam

Newton in 2010.

Some recent history is on Mariota’s side. Four straight winners of the Davey O’Brien award have gone on to win the Heisman.

“That’s the first time I’ve heard of (that trend),” he said.

“I don’t know how to explain it. It’s pretty cool and we’ll see what happens.”

Locust Grove held on for the win. The OSSAA punished the officials involved, calling the error â&#x20AC;&#x153;inexcusable at this level.â&#x20AC;?

Douglass appealed the OSSAA to have either the final 64 seconds or the entire game replayed.

The associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff declined both options in the appeal, and its board rejected the replay options in a special meeting, prompting Douglass to go to court. Douglassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorneys argued this week that Jones should

In the end, the judge said the OSSAA had the discretion to turn down Douglassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While mindful of the frustrations of the young athletes who feel deprived by the inaction of (OSSAA), it borders on the unreasonable ... to think this court more equipped or better qualified than (OSSAA) to decide the outcome of any portion of a high school football game,â&#x20AC;?

Amari Cooper became the first Alabama player to win the Biletnikoff Award as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding receiver.

Melvin Gordon became the third Wisconsin player to win the Doak Walker Award given to the top running back in the country.

Gordon said Wednesday he will skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft. He said he thinks he already has accomplished what he set out to do this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I did,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the reason I came back was to prove I was a better player. I felt I did that. There were some things I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t achieve.

But I put us in a position for those goals. But I did come back to be a better player and show I was one of the best running backs in the nation.â&#x20AC;?

Other award winners Thursday were: Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright (Bednarik Award for defensive player of the year), Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brad Craddock (Lou Groza Award for nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding kicker), Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Hackett (Ray Guy Award for punter of the year), Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff (Outland Trophy for outstanding interior lineman), and Louisvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gerod Holliman (Jim Thorpe Award for nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best defensive back).

Three other awards were announced prior to the live ceremony. The Rimington Trophy for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding center went to Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Reese Dismukes. Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary was honored with the John Mackey Award, given to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top tight end, and Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Helton won the William V. Campbell Trophy for academic success, football performance and community service.

TCU coach Gary Patterson was selected the Home Depot Coach of the Year after guiding the Horned Frogs from a 4-8 mark in 2013 to 11-1 this season, falling just short of a spot in the playoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being outside of the College Football Playoff, I knew my players were disappointed.

But we have to be the leaders not only in football, but in America,â&#x20AC;?

Patterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The Peach Bowl matchup with Ole Miss) is an opportunity one more time to show what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made of.â&#x20AC;?

Old-style swaps dominate MLB meetings The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter meetings ended with an old-style spurt of swaps, with AllStars switching teams at a rapid pace and executives scrambling to fill roster voids.

Alfredo Simon, Dee Gordon, Yoenis Cespedes, Miguel Montero, Jeff Samardzija, Brandon Moss, Dan Haren and Howie Kendrick were among the All-Stars dealt by the time teams headed home Thursday, and Matt Kemp and Jimmy Rollins were on the verge of switching clubs.

The Los Angeles and Chicago teams were the epicenter of change, along with the Miami Marlins.

Twelve trades involving

44 players were made over the four days, according to Major League Baseball, up from five swaps last year and three in 2012.

There hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been this many trades at a winter meetings since 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are motivated,â&#x20AC;?

Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said.

With major league revenues in the $9 billion range, increased sharing and changes to rules for the amateur draft, more clubs have money to spend and large-market teams are more constrained.

The four organizations chasing San Francisco in the NL West all changed their top baseball frontoffice official since last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gathering: Tony La Russa took over at

the Diamondbacks, Andrew Friedman with the Dodgers, A. J. Preller with the Padres and Jeff Bridich with the Rockies.

Matt Silverman replaced Friedman with the Rays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have been very, very aggressive,â&#x20AC;? Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Action starts more quickly, so when you get here I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared to move.

Secondly, a lot of free agents started to sign. I think a lot of clubs were open-minded.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some change of regimes that have also contributed to that.â&#x20AC;?

A $155 million, six-year agreement between lefthander Jon Lester and the Cubs late Tuesday night seemed to break a

market logjam. In deals announced just before midnight Wednesday, the Dodgers acquired Kendrick from the Angels to play second and worked to obtain Rollins from Philadelphia in a remake of their middle infield.

They dealt Gordon, Haren â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who is mulling retirement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; infielder Miguel Rojas and a player to be named or cash to the Marlins as part of a seven-player trade for lefthander Andrew Heaney, right-hander Chris Hatcher, infielder Kike Hernandez and catcher Austin Barnes.

The Dodgers then sent Heaney, considered one of baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top pitching prospects, to the Angels for Kendrick.

forts to make the Motor City livable for residents and appealing to businesses will likely have to last for years to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not any different than today,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Mike

Duggan said Wednesday during the announcement that Detroit was coming out of the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have enormous challenges deliv-

ering the services in the city every day, but at least now we are no longer a city thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in bankruptcy,â&#x20AC;?

Duggan said.

Reducing Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime rate, removing blight, demolishing tens

of thousands of abandoned houses and finding ways to increase revenue are among the issues the city faces as it moves forward. Detroit also must work with a financial review commission on its

budgets and spending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to start afresh ... and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do the best we can to deliver the kinds of services the people in this city deserve,â&#x20AC;? said Duggan.

Worship Call Christmas ALIVE First Presbyterian Church will hold a free walk-through event from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday on the church grounds. Live animals such as camels, donkeys, cows and sheep make the story authentic as the walk-through experience begins with an angel appearing to Mary, the mother of Jesus. The experience will last somewhere between 15 to 20 minutes.

The church will have buses to transport 20-25 people at a time back to the church.

Once at the church, groups will be greeted in the fellowship hall and then a guide will lead them through the scenes. Guests will receive hot chocolate as they wait for

their tour to begin. Following the tour, chili and desserts will be served in the fellowship hall with all donations received benefiting the Lighthouse Toy Store.

Religious nonprofits challenge health law The Associated Press

DENVER — In the latest religious challenge to the federal health care law, faith-based organizations that object to covering birth control in their employee health plans argued in federal appeals court Monday that the government hasn’t gone far enough to ensure they don’t have to violate their beliefs.

Plaintiffs including a group of Colorado nuns and four Christian colleges in Oklahoma argued in the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver that a federal exemption for groups that oppose contraceptives, including the morning-after pill, violates their beliefs.

The groups don’t have to cover such contraceptives, as most insurers must. But they have to tell the government they object on religious grounds in order to get an exemption. They argued Monday that because they must sign away coverage to another party, the exemption makes them complicit in providing contraceptives.

Sanctuary Choir will present “Majesty of Heaven” at 4 p.m. on Sunday. Child care will be provided. The church is located at 1201 N. Harper Road in Corinth. For more information call 286-2935.

“It is morally problematic” to sign the forms, argued Greg Baylor, lawyer for Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma.

“There are plenty of other ways the government could put (emergency contraception) in the hands of the people without us,” Baylor said.

But a lawyer for the government insisted the exemptions aren’t a significant burden on the groups’ exercise of religion.

Adam Jed of the Department of Justice argued that the government has done enough to accommodate religious exceptions to the birth-control mandate. He said that not requiring some sort of action by the groups would force the government to act as a “detective agency” to determine why any employer is not covering the contraceptives.

“We disagree that the act of opting out constitutes a substantial burden on their religious belief,” Jed said.

The judges didn’t indicate when they might rule.

Candlelight and Communion Service First Baptist Church will hold a Christmas Eve Candlelight and Communion Service at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 24 in the church sanctuary.

I have heard many people say that I don’t need the church. I can worship on my own terms by praying and reading the Bible.

This is not untrue but being alone and studying your Bible will give you a self-satisfaction that will not be shared with others. Look at what the apostle Paul said in Romans 15:14; “I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, complete in knowledge and competent to instruct one another.”

Not going to church or sharing your faith with others will eventually leave you feeling empty on the inside. We need

to do as Jesus taught us through the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20. Verse 19 states “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

Just as I allowed the bus I was driving to run out of fuel, which took 14 hours to correct and get on the road again, our lives can also run out of gas. I should have taken a closer look and better care of what I was doing and I wouldn’t have let the people down that were with me.

Are you running on empty? Only you can tell.

Prayer: Father, again I thank you for another day of life. Thank you for your many blessings and I ask that you continue to bless me in everything that I do. Let me serve you with a full tank of gas and not run empty. Amen.

Syrian Jewish bibles could spark ownership dispute The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Two decades after Israeli spies helped Syrian Jews whisk ancient Hebrew bibles from Damascus to Jerusalem, Israel’s national library asked an Israeli court on Monday to grant it custodianship over the manuscripts — a move that could spark an ownership battle over some of the Syrian Jewish community’s most important treasures.

Known as the Crowns of Damascus, the nine leather-bound parchment books — some featuring microscopic calligraphy and goldleaf illumination — were written mostly in Spain and Italy between 700 and 1,000 years ago.

For hundreds of years, they were guarded inside synagogues in the Syrian capital, presented only on special occasions.

In the early 1990s, Syria lifted travel restrictions on Jews and many emigrated, but they were not permitted to take their sacred manuscripts.

So, in a covert operation by Israel’s Mossad spy agency, eight ancient bibles were spirited to Israel between 1993 and 1995. The ninth was smuggled out of Syria in 1993 with the help of a Canadian Jewish activist.

Once in Israel, the manuscripts were entrusted to the national library for restoration and storage. Their existence there was kept secret for a decade, presumably so as not to draw the ire of

Syria, Israel’s longtime foe. The library already had two other Damascus bibles in its collection, purchased in the 1960s and 70s in private sales.

Details of the Mossad operation remain classified, but the man who helped organize it was Rabbi Avraham Hamra, the then-leader of the Damascus Jewish community who now lives in Israel. Shabtai Shavit, the Mossad director at the time, confirmed Hamra’s involvement, without giving details.

The existence of the bibles was revealed in 2000 when they were exhibited at the Israeli president’s residence.

And on Monday, the National Library of Israel went to court to formally ask the Justice Ministry to establish a kind of public charitable trust for the nine Crowns of Damascus.

According to the proposal, the manuscripts would remain in the library’s climate-controlled coffers and a steering committee, including Damascus Jewish immigrants in Israel, would oversee them. The Damascus Jewry Organization in Israel, the main group representing Damascus immigrants, supports the library’s initiative.

But Hamra, who is not connected to that organization, opposes the library’s proposal and says he may challenge it in court. He argues the bibles are Syrian Jew-

ish cultural property, and that the library had promised to transfer them to a Syrian Jewish heritage center in Israel he plans to build.

That promise, Hamra says, appears in a catalogue from the 2000 exhibition co-sponsored by the library.

The catalogue calls the manuscripts the “religious and spiritual treasure of the Syrian Jewish community” and says the Israeli library would safeguard them “until the establishment of a Syrian Jewish heritage center in Israel.”

But Hamra has not yet built the center, and the library denies it ever promised him the manuscripts. It asked Hamra to be a member of the proposed steering committee, but he declined.

“It is not my property, but it is the property of my community,” Hamra said.

The library, which houses many other ancient Jewish manuscripts, says it has the expertise to preserve the brittle bibles.

The proposed trust would enshrine the manuscripts as “owned by the Jewish people,” said Haggai Ben Shammai, the library’s academic director. “It cannot be transferred to anybody.”

Shammai said he is not worried about possible Syrian demands to return the bibles to Damascus, since they were never Syrian government property but belonged to

Syria’s Jewish community. The war-engulfed country is not a safe place for the manuscripts anyway, he added.

There was no immediate comment Monday from authorities in Damascus, where few Jews remain today.

The battle over the bibles mirrors a famous tug-of-war over another important Jewish manuscript from Syria: the 10th-century Aleppo Codex, considered the most ancient authoritative copy of the Hebrew Bible.

Like the Crowns of Damascus, the Aleppo Codex was safeguarded in a Syrian synagogue for ages. A Syrian Jew fleeing persecution smuggled it out of Aleppo to Israel, where it landed in the hands of the Israeli president in the 1950s.

Aleppo Jews in Israel took the Israeli government to court, saying the bible was meant to reach their community.

A trial lasted years and ended in compromise — a trusteeship led by an Israeli chief rabbi was established to oversee the Aleppo Codex.

Meir Heller, a lawyer for the national library, said the library is prepared to advertise its proposal for the Crowns of Damascus in newspapers in Syria, Europe and the U.S. to allow objectors to challenge the move in court.

“Any interested party can come forward, and the court will decide,” he said.
