When it’s time to start work on the next scarf or table runner, Patricia Holmberg turns to the animals of her own fiber farm. Raising Shetland sheep and Angora rabbits on her Arkabutla property gives her a steady supply and control of her materials. “I prefer to spin and knit and weave with my own fibers from my sheep and my rabbits so it’s all one-of-a-kind items,” said Holmberg. “It’s awesome to be able to take the fiber from an animal, wash it up, process it and dye it any color or variety you want, and then create any texture of yarn you want.” Holmberg, with her fiber artist friend Sharon Williams of Independence, will be at the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery today, Tuesday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to demonstrate spinning and weaving. They are among more than 60 artists who have items featured in the gallery’s Christmas collection. “We’ll have the regular floor loom that people would expect, and then we have the rigid heddle loom which is very popular now for knitters to use,” said Holmberg. “And I am bringing a spinning wheel.” Scarves, tapestries, table runners, shawls and other wearable items are among their creations featured at the gallery. These traditional crafts are enjoying renewed popularity. “Thankfully to the internet,

ne Corinth family is passing on their love of Christmas via more than 20,000 twinkling lights. Dr. Randy and Tammi Frazier have brought their stately downtown home to life this holiday season with endless lighted garland, a Christmas tree in every window, multicolored LED flood lights and a massive 25-foot lighted tree in the front yard. The decorations dance to holiday-themed music as well when tuned to 97.7 on an FM radio. “We love Christmas and we love decorating,” said Tammi. “It’s something we’ve always done, but this year we wanted to do something

Farmington City Clerk Debora Jackson celebrated 19 years on the job on Dec. 2. Lately her duties have included lots of Christmas decorating, getting the community ready for the holidays. When’s she’s not at work at Farmington City Hall, Jackson keeps busy with her love of photography. She says she loves taking pictures of landscapes, flowers and pets. Jackson loves spending time with her family — husband Shane; stepdaughter Amber Reeves and her husband Chris of Little Rock, Ark.; son Andy Holloway and wife Lauren; and daughter Sara and fiancé John McCalister. She also loves spending time with the four-legged member of the family — an almost two-year-old Great Dane named Eva Claire. “She is a character,” said the 52-year-old Jackson. “She’s still growing, not quite full grown.”

The former long time Corinth High School baseball coach said he plans to talk about the history of baseball from the 1960s to the present at the school level. “I’ll touch on how the high school level of the sport has progressed from a filler in the spring to a sport that really matters,” he said. “It will be from the coach’s perspective, but it should be interesting to all sports fans in the commuPlease see HISTORIAN | 6A

The Fraziers’ four children – Baylor, 16, Cooper, 15, Erin, 23, and Parks, 25 – all chipped in, plus other family members who attended Thanksgiving dinner. “My family made the journey to Corinth for what they thought was turkey, dressing and family time. We had all of that, but also enlisted their help in twisting lights together and then building the tree that takes center stage of our display,” said Tammi. “They were more than willing to get onboard to accomplish the task in one day, and that night we had a trial run preview.” “It was like a fireworks show ... simply amazing,” she said. Randy – the “computer whiz” as Tammi calls him – added the ability for the lights to dance to music played on a radio station while in front of the home. The show will run every night through Christmas Day night from dusk until 10 p.m. and currently features four Christmas tunes. Plans are to add two additional rotations of four songs each so those who return to the display have a diﬀerent show to see. “We are so happy to share the magic that

Above all we want people to hear the true meaning of Christmas and create some great memories for them and their children.” The Fraziers also hope their holiday creation draws more visitors to the Crossroads area. “Hopefully folks from area towns will find out and drive to Corinth to see our home,” said Tammi. “Maybe they’ll shop, eat and stay a while. We love our town and if we can help draw others here for a visit, then all this was worth it.” (The Frazier home is located at 609 East Fourth Street between Taylor Street and Webster Street in downtown Corinth.)

Today in History Today is Tuesday, Dec. 13, the 348th day of 2016. There are 18 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 13, 1981, authorities in Poland imposed martial law in a crackdown on the Solidarity labor movement. (Martial law formally ended in 1983.)

On this date: In 1862, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside launched futile attacks against entrenched Confederate soldiers during the Civil War Battle of Fredericksburg; the soundly defeated Northern troops withdrew two days later. In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson arrived in France, becoming the first chief executive to visit Europe while in office. In 1944, during World War II, the light cruiser USS Nashville was badly damaged in a Japanese kamikaze attack off Negros Island in the Philippines that claimed 133 lives. In 1962, the United States launched Relay 1, a communications satellite which retransmitted television, telephone and digital signals. In 1974, Malta became a republic. George Harrison visited the White House, where he met President Gerald R. Ford. In 1994, an American Eagle commuter plane crashed short of RaleighDurham International Airport in North Carolina, killing 15 of the 20 people on board. In 1996, the U.N. Security Council chose Kofi Annan of Ghana to become the world body’s seventh secretary-general. In 2003, Saddam Hussein was captured by U.S. forces while hiding in a hole under a farmhouse in Adwar, Iraq, near his hometown of Tikrit.

Across the Region Tishomingo Sheriff’s investigation leads to drug arrest TISHOMINGO — Tishomingo Sheriff’s Deputies arrested Randy Buchanon last week at his residence in Tishomingo. This arrest comes after several months of investigation into Buchanon’s alleged dealings in the sale of methamphetamine. Buchanon was arrested due to a pick-up order issued by the 1st District Circuit Court Judge, due to Buchanon being previously arrested for a prior drug charge in Alcorn County, while he was already out on bond for a felony drug charge in Tishomingo County. Deputies also issued a search warrant on the residence of Buchanon and found on the property more alleged narcotics and paraphernalia. Some alleged marijuana was found on Buchanon at the time of his arrest. Buchanon was officially charged with sale of controlled substance and will go in front of a judge at a later time.

Booneville Meeting will discuss tourism tax proposal BOONEVILLE — A community meeting is set for next Monday to discuss a proposed tourism tax in the city of Booneville. Residents are invited to the event set for 7 p.m. next Monday in the courtroom of the Prentiss County Courthouse to discuss the proposed 2 percent tourism tax. All elected officials representing Booneville and Prentiss County have been invited to attend the meeting.

Tippah Group helping provide to families in need TIPPAH COUNTY — Christmas day is just around the corner, creating a perfect time to celebrate the love of family and make memories that will last forever. According to the Southern Sentinal, Together for Tippah, a local non-profit organization recognizes the reality of this situation. With the help of fellow board members and sponsors, founder and chair, Heather Lefler; are working to ensure that through this organization

as many children as possible will have a Christmas that they can be jolly about. Together for Tippah was founded in 2015 by a group of concerned Tippah county residents with the mission to provide help to fellow residents in need and end poverty, and hunger in the community. “We currently have about 180 children living in Tippah County who have undergone an application process that has placed them at poverty level, living off of very low incomes,” states Lefler. With the help of as many sponsoring residents possible, Lefler is hopeful to have a present for each and every child within reach. For the past year Together for Tippah has teamed with Toys for Tippah Tots, Rotary Club Coats for Kids, Ashley’s Angels, Timber Hills and other organizations who work directly with those families in need. Also for this year, Together for Tippah worked with Tippah County schools to stock a closet in each one. Stocking those closets make items available to students without supplies and teachers who need additional supplies in their classrooms. “We feel like it’s our duty to help others. We want our children to learn to help others with nothing in return. We never know if we will be faced with the situation that these families face,” says Lefler. Lefler hopes that other surrounding counties will create an organization in likeness of Together for Tippah for their own communities. This year Together for Tippah has been working hard for funding by holding many different projects at every community event possible in an effort to raise money and awareness. One most recent project is the “Christmas Open House” held on several occasions where residents have had the opportunity to sign up to sponsor and receive a child’s wish list. On the wish list the child’s age, likes, wants, and needs are provided. The child’s clothing and shoe size are also available on the wish list. Together for Tippah has received an abundance of support from local residents and from outside counties as well. Lefler states, “The help from other towns and from residents here in our town are the sole reason we are able to do everything that we do.”

Savannah City appoints officer as new police chief SAVANNAH, Tenn. — Officer Michael Pitts officially became the new chief of police in Savannah last week. WBBJ-TV reported the new chief will work out of the Savannah Police Department, and officials say they went through a long list of qualifications when choosing the man for the job. “Besides having the credentials as a police officer is communication skills and the ability to exchange your ideas and to also listen,” Savannah City Manager Garry Welch said. Welch says Pitts’ energetic personality and local experience were two of the main things that made him stand out above the rest. Pitts previously worked as a Tennessee State Park ranger and a deputy for Hardin County and says he’s excited to bring new ideas to the table. “I’m probably younger than most police chiefs, and so I’m going to bring a new way of doing things, maybe a new perspective on things,” Pitts said. Pitts says once he assumes his position as chief, his first step is to get a general overview of the main issues needed to be addressed in Savannah. His main message to the community is that he plans on upholding an open-door policy. “I encourage them to come by the police department, say hi, bring their problems to me,” Pitts said. “If it’s an issue where law enforcement can help, then we’ll do everything in our power to address it.”

Aberdeen Woman killed in two-car wreck over weekend ABERDEEN — An Aberdeen woman was killed in a two-car wreck Saturday morning. According to The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, the accident happened shortly before 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of East Commerce Street and U.S. Highway 45 South in Aberdeen, according to Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley. According to witnesses, a woman driving a Pontiac Sunfire ran a stop sign at the intersection and was hit by a 1977 Jeep International Scout. Kathy

Mae Marks, 62, of Aberdeen, died at the scene. She was not wearing a seat belt. The driver of the Jeep, an Amory man, was not seriously injured. The Aberdeen Police Department investigated the accident.

Oxford New parking garage gets closer to approval OXFORD — After four years of debate, numerous studies and countless hours put in by many, a new parking garage on the Square got closer to becoming a reality earlier this week. The Oxford Board of Aldermen voted to move forward with the recommendation made by the Downtown Parking Advisory Commission to construct a new garage that could accommodate 500 vehicles in the future. According to the Oxford Citizen, the next step still doesn’t guarantee that the garage will be constructed. A request for proposal for a design-build plan is what city engineer Bart Robinson will be taking care of now. An architect will also have to be used in order for the next step and the cost of the structure, that right now would be located off Jefferson Avenue on the west side of the Square, has to be $9 million or less in order for it to be achieved. That number is based on the revenue that can be generated by the paid meters currently in place, and paid back over a 20year period. The garage will be free to use, but revenue from the meters will go towards the payment for construction using general obligation bonds. The fees are in place with the exception of Sunday and holidays. There was an increase in the cost of the meters approved recently, and parking fees are in place until midnight. Tuesday’s vote was deemed as a positive or another step in the right direction based on providing the necessary parking spots for those that visit the Square. Alderwoman Janice Antonow voted against the recommendation. Before she did, she cited complaints from citizens, and stated their opposition to the garage. The emails were placed into the record.

Allow Obamacare to wither away BY DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Republicans are tying themselves in knots over how to wind down the Obamacare experiment when Donald Trump takes oﬃce in January. Eager to be seen as keeping his promise to “repeal and replace” Obamacare, but worried about denying ongoing insurance to the 20 million Americans the program now covers, party leaders are stumbling in the dark in search of a solution. Some have proposed a typical Washington compromise: Repeal Obamacare now but don’t let the death sentence be carried out until 2018 or 2019. The idea is that as the clock ticks down, Republicans -- aided by patriotic Democrats -- will find a program to take its place. The reality, of course, is that as we approach the cliﬀ, Obamacare will go on and on with nobody having the courage to pull the plug. But doctors, patients and insurance companies are fleeing Obamacare in droves. The spiraling premiums, rising deductibles and limitations on treatment options have kept tens of millions from signing up -- many preferring to pay a fine and have no insurance to enrolling in the program. Here’s what the Republicans should do: --Immediately repeal the requirement that everyone has to buy health insurance and any mandate that forces an employer to purchase it for him. --Let people choose how much insurance they want and repeal the Obamacare requirement that everyone buy expensive, soup-tonuts coverage. --Continue Obamacare requirements that bar discrimination against people with preexisting conditions and that make parental plans cover children through age 26. --Make health insurance premiums deductible on federal tax forms. --Allow interstate competition among insurance firms to broaden choice and reduce costs. --Continue subsidies to those who qualify -- whether or not they buy policies through the Obamacare exchanges. --Let people keep their Obamacare policies if they’d like to. And then, let Obamacare wither away from the inside out. Millions now covered will want to switch to lower-cost policies more closely tailored to their needs. Why pay extra premiums to cover drug abuse therapy or sex-change surgery if you don’t want it? Many young and healthy men and women will opt for low-cost catastrophic coverage since it’s all they need. As the young and the healthy move out of the rigid, costly Obamacare plans, the premiums of these plans will rise, driving even more to leave. Then, when Obamacare is down to the truly needy with very high medical bills and chronic conditions, put these four or five million folks under Medicaid and let the government provide for their needs. But don’t let their medical needs drive up premiums for the rest of us. Let Obamacare wither away from within. 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 Gracious Father, help me that I may not be thoughtless and unkind. May I be gentle and sympathetic. Forgive me for any unhappiness which I may have made, and may it be mine to know the rejoicing that comes hi lifting a discouraged life in time. Amen.

John Glenn embodied real heroism STARKVILLE — The death of U.S. Sen. John Herschel Glenn Jr. at age 95 – the first American to orbit the Earth and one of the first seven Americans chosen to attempt manned space flight – brings to mind an era in our nation’s history when we defined heroism in a much different way than we often do today. For those of us who were children in the Cold War and during the space race with Russia, America’s astronauts were not just men with what Tom Wolfe called the “right stuff” but men who were the stuff of legends. Even among his “Mercury Seven” peers, Glenn’s “all American boy” nature and his moral values earned him the somewhat derisive nickname “Clean Marine.” But even that moniker points up some of the heroism that defined Glenn’s life. As a U.S. Marine fighter pilot, Glenn flew 59 combat missions during World War II and another 63 combat missions during the Korean War. In the final nine days of the Korean conflict, Glenn shot down three enemy MIGs in combat along the Yalu River. Glenn won the Distinguished Flying Cross six times. For those of my generation, space travel never really lost its wonder. I suppose we all remember watching Alan Shepard and Glenn

go up and come down in their little thimble-shaped spacecrafts and the darSid Salter ing recoveries of those Columnist fragile little crafts at sea. We remember the horror of the deaths of Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaﬀee in a fire on the Apollo 1 launch pad in 1967. We remember when the Apollo 13 accident wasn’t just a Tom Hanks movie – and the nation’s unbridled joy at the safe return of Mississippian Fred Haise, Jim Lovell and Jack Swigert from that near-doomed mission. We remember President John Kennedy’s explanation of why America should go to the moon – “not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” And go America did – and unlike putting a man in space or orbiting the Earth, we did it ahead of the Russians. At the time, that mattered to our nation a great deal. I remember my real thrill as a grown man at shaking hands with John Glenn on the Neshoba County Fairgrounds when he ventured there as the U.S. senator from Ohio in 1983 as part of his failed campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. The late Maurice Dantin of Columbia – a

proud fellow Marine and longtime Mississippi politico — was Glenn’s Mississippi campaign state chairman and the hero astronaut looked to charm the crowd at Neshoba in much the way that Ronald Reagan had done as the newly-minted Republican presidential nominee in his 1980 visit. Howell Raines, then the national political correspondent for The New York Times, wrote in 1983 of Glenn’s visit to the Mississippi campground fair: “He does better with crowds, such as the hundreds of families at the Neshoba County Fair down the road in Philadelphia, Miss. In a dusty, tree-shaded campground, Glenn was virtually mobbed by autograph seekers. This John Glenn - in shirt sleeves, sweat beaded on his balding pate - was in his element. He is one of the rare politicians who makes firm eye contact and asks people’s names as he works a crowd. Other celebrity politicians hand out printed signature cards; Glenn still signs autographs. Even in such hectic scenes, Glenn, who was known in the space program for his preternaturally slow pulse beat, seems unhurried and accessible.” But Glenn was definitely more skilled at real-world heroics than at retail politics. He would drop out of the presidential race on

March 16, 1984. He ran fourth to eventual Democratic nominee Walter Mondale, who Reagan handily defeated to win a second term as president. But like most of my generation, I cheered when Glenn returned to space on the space shuttle Discovery’s STS-95 mission as a 77-year-old payload specialist. On liftoﬀ of that mission, a steel plate that protected the drag chute on the shuttle was dislodged during launch. While the shuttle was in orbit, concern grew that this uncovered parachute could accidentally deploy during re-entry with possibly catastrophic consequences. NASA contacted Mississippi State University and requested that MSU researchers simulate this event on super computer. The simulation, which would normally have taken months to complete, was finished within two days by MSU researchers – and Glenn’s final mission ended without a hitch. We should teach our children and grandchildren about John Glenn and the heroism that defined his life and work – this “steelyeyed missile man” and the last of the Mercury Seven.

U.S.-Israeli relations set to improve The consensus in Israel is that the relationship between the Jewish state and the United States is going to improve in a Trump administration, says former Israeli ambassador to the U.S., Zalman Shoval. On a recent visit to Washington, D.C., Shoval told me that he believes Donald Trump and his cabinet picks so far have a more “realistic” view of the Middle East than President Obama, who from his first days in oﬃce, “perhaps before, believed it was his calling to fix once and for all, all matters between the U.S. and the Arab and Muslim worlds, as expressed in his Cairo speech. ... This gives Trump in the hearts and minds of more than a few Israelis a headstart.” Shoval said he believes the issue of a Palestinian state has become less concerning than the regional and international threat posed by a nuclear Iran. He likes recent statements by secretary of defense-designate Gen. James Mattis about the way forward in dealing with an unstable Iran, believing Mattis rec-

ognizes that as important as it is to defeat ISIS, the real threat in the MidCal dle East is Thomas Iran. It’s not Columnist only the nuclear deal that bothers Shoval, though he believes Iran will eventually have a bomb, unless it is stopped. It is also bothersome that Iran continues with its terrorist activities, subsidizing anti-American and anti-Israel groups because radical mullahs think their god has ordered them to do so. That makes any kind of diplomatic agreement with nations Iran regards as “infidels” impossible. Even when the battle for Mosul is over and victory has been declared over that ISIS stronghold, Shoval believes, “what it really will mean is that the Iranians and the Shia are going to be the real victors. They will continue their attempts to build a territorial corridor all the way to the Mediterra-

nean along with Hezbollah, which is not only a threat to Israel, but also something the so-called moderate Arab states look at with a great deal of concern.” Shoval says he hopes the incoming Trump administration realizes that Iran cannot be a partner with the United States in the Middle East “even if from time to time it seems like that because of what’s happening in Syria. Ultimately, Iran is a great danger.” People like former President Jimmy Carter have a different worldview. In a recent op-ed for The New York Times, Carter called on President Obama to recognize a Palestinian state before he leaves office. Carter also called on the UN to pass a resolution setting the parameters for “resolving the conflict.” I believe in miracles, but for the UN, or anyone else, to resolve a conflict in which one side thinks it has a heavenly mandate to destroy the other is not where most people would see as a good starting point for conflict resolution.

one success -- the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. But getting one thing right with a unique combination of leaders, one of whom -- Anwar Sadat -was assassinated by Islamic fanatics for making peace with Israel, is like an astrologer wanting credit for one prediction that came true while ignoring hundreds that didn’t. In his book, “The Field of Fight,” Michael Flynn, Trump’s pick to head the National Security Council, writes about President Obama: “I find it simply incredible that an American president should believe a strategic alliance with Iran to be more attractive than our traditional embrace of Israel. Our new leaders need to reverse that, pronto. We will need Israel if we’re going to defeat the radical Islamists, and above all, the Iranians.” This is the opposite of wishful thinking.

Evans delivers holiday romance BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

You’ve got big plans this holiday season. If everything comes together, it’ll be the perfect Christmas with a little traveling, a package or two arriving on time, colorful wrap, big silky bows, and food. Lots of food. And in the new book “The Mistletoe Secret” by Richard Paul Evans, you’re going to work those plans – or else. Christmas was supposed to be happy and jolly and merry, and whatever. It had been almost a year since Alex Bartlett’s wife, Jill, left him for another man – a man who couldn’t spell, no less – and Alex was still smarting from it. He knew his job-travels were causing problems in his marriage, but he hadn’t known Jill was cheating on him. She left him around the holidays and Merry stupid Christmas. He was so lonely. If it weren’t for his work pals, Nate and Dale, Alex was pretty sure he wouldn’t have survived. Then again, if it wasn’t for his work pals, he wouldn’t be ﬁlling out a very long online form in search of love that he wasn’t sure he wanted. But there, on his computer screen in the wee small hours of several mornings, was a blog from someone who understood loneliness. Alex was stunned at what the anonymous woman said, and how much her words resonated in his life. Suddenly, a relationship didn’t sound so bad, if it could be with her. She gave few clues for her location, but he eventually ﬁgured out where she was, and booked a plane to Utah . LBH. Those were the initials the blogger used to identify herself, which

was really no identity at all. Even so, Alex found twenty possibilities in tiny Midway, Utah, where everybody knew everybody else. Was LBH an older woman or a teenager? Would Alex recognize her soul, or would he run up against a heart as cold as the snow that covered Midway? Or, better question: after meeting a beautiful waitress at a local diner – a woman w h o seemed to be a perfect match f o r him, who w a s gorgeous and funny – did he even want to ﬁnish his quest? As holiday romances go, I’d have to say that “The Mistletoe Secret” is a notch above. I think it’s better because there really is a secret inside this book. Really, author Richard Paul Evans could have taken readers in any one of several diﬀerent directions, but the enjoyment would be the same. Evans’ Alex is your basic nice guy – one who’s still a bit befuddled at his sudden singlehood, but who’s willing to try something new to meet women. The characters that surround Alex, both at home in Florida and while searching in Utah, are also very likeable people; even the nasty ex is given the soft glove. What’s not to love? Be aware that there’s a surprising (for this series) but mostly-chaste love scene here, though it shouldn’t stop you from sharing this book with Grandma or teen. If either of them needs something merry, “The Mistletoe Secret” is a book to plan for. (Terri Schlichenmeyer writes book reviews for the Daily Corinthian.)

McConnell: Senate to investigate reports of Russia hacking Associated Press

NEW YORK — The top Senate Republican said Monday that Congress will investigate a CIA assessment that Russia interfered in the November election on behalf of Donald Trump, an intelligence conclusion that the incoming commander in chief has called “ridiculous.” Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters that an inquiry would be conducted by the Senate intelligence panel. Two key Senate Republicans — John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a leading Trump critic — have joined with two Democrats in seeking a bipartisan investigation into the Kremlin’s activities during the election. House Speaker Paul Ryan released a written statement saying a House Intelligence Committee probe of cyber threats by other countries and terrorist groups “will continue

and has my support.” Ryan, R-Wis., said foreign interference in U.S. elections is “entirely unacceptable” and said Russia under President Vladimir Putin “has been an aggressor that consistently undermines American interests.” Unlike Trump, who has expressed admiration for Putin, McConnell said flatly, “The Russians are not our friends.” Asked about McConnell’s support for a congressional probe, Trump spokesman Jason Miller said the focus on Russian interference in the election is “an attempt to delegitimize Presidentelect Trump’s win.” The CIA recently concluded with “high confidence” that Russia sought to influence the U.S. election on behalf of Trump, raising red flags among lawmakers concerned about the sanctity of the U.S. voting system and potentially straining relations at the start of Trump’s administration.

Snowstorms bring smiles, frowns CONCORD, N.H. — Snow and freezing rain made for messy commutes and closed hundreds of schools Monday as a snowstorm pushed into the Northeast. The storm left nearly a foot of snow on the ground in some spots in the Great Lakes and upper Midwest before dumping up to about a half-foot across New York and northern New England. Boston, New York City and Philadelphia were spared. Speeds were reduced on snow-packed roads and there were many school delays and closures from Michigan to Maine. Portland, Maine, got about 4 inches of snow, but that wasn’t enough to close down the Portland Fish Exchange, an auction house that was preparing for the arrival of day boat scallops later Monday. Pats Peak Ski Area in Henniker, New Hampshire, had received 6 to 8 inches by midmorning. Spokeswoman Lori Rowell said the ski area that opened Saturday with about half its trails saw more children Monday, thanks to school closures.

Advocates: Politics won’t derail project NEW YORK — Some of the big names behind the project to build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River say politics won’t derail it this time.

New Jersey Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Amtrak Chairman Tony Coscia attended a panel discussion Monday that updated the socalled Gateway project. They say that with continued federal support, the project won’t succumb to the political squabbling that killed a similar tunnel project six years ago. Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pulled the plug on that one over fears of cost overruns. New York lawmakers weren’t fully supportive of the project.

Ex-congressman gets 10-year term PHILADELPHIA — Former U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah was sentenced Monday to a 10-year prison term by a judge who said he was “astonished” that a veteran legislator would steal government and charity funds to pay his son’s debts and buy a vacation home. Fattah, a Democrat who was born into a family of black activists in west Philadelphia, spent two decades in Congress working on housing, education, gun control and other issues of concern to his mostly poor district. Fattah and his TV anchor wife meanwhile took in more than $500,000 a year. Yet Fattah’s finances grew increasingly dire after a failed 2007 run for mayor, when he faced new campaign spending limits that led him to take an illegal

$1 million loan from a friend. The trouble escalated when the friend called in the debt. As he awaited his sentence, Fattah told the judge he had mixed emotions: saddened to find himself in court but grateful for the work he was able to do over 37 years as a state and federal lawmaker.

Drug-affected babies driven by rural surge CHICAGO — A surge in U.S infants born with symptoms of withdrawal from heroin or strong prescription painkillers is driven largely by rising drug use among women in rural areas, a new study found. The study, led by University of Michigan researchers, estimates that about 21 percent of newborns in rural counties had withdrawal symptoms in 2013, up from 13 percent in 2004. Newborns whose mothers use these drugs during pregnancy are at risk for seizures, excessive crying, problems with breathing, sleeping and feeding and other withdrawal symptoms. Treatment sometimes includes methadone and babies may need to be hospitalized for weeks or months. The study shows the rate for affected rural newborns climbed sixfold — from about 1 per 1,000 births in 2004 to almost 8 per 1,000 births in 2013. By contrast, in urban areas the rate climbed from 1 per 1,000 to 5 per 1,000 births.

Coast to clean up eyesore homes PASCAGOULA — Money to help clean up houses still damaged and unoccupied since Hurricane Katrina is expected to soon come into the Gulf Coast. The Mississippi Home Corp. is developing a program to provide funds to cities and counties throughout the state to help demolish blighted and abandoned homes, the Sun Herald reported. “The goal of the project is to stabilize property values by removing and greening vacant and blighted properties in an effort to prevent future foreclosures for existing homeowners,” the program stated. The agency has submitted its plan to the U.S. Treasury Department for approval. If approved next year, Mississippi could receive $20 million, which should translate to $500,000 for Jackson County.

from deer throughout the United States. He’s trying to determine whether Northern deer that were moved into the South survived long enough to pass along their traits, the university said in a news release. Stocking took place in the early 1900s, when deer were scarce in the Southeast because of habitat loss and unregulated hunting.

Church buying goats for Haitian families VICKSBURG — A Vicksburg church group is buying dozens of goats for families in Haiti hurt by the recent hurricane. The Vicksburg Post reports that a group of 4and 5-year-olds at First Baptist Church Vicksburg started gathering the donations anticipating they might be able to buy a few goats. Instead, church member Jessica Green says the effort has grown so much that they’re going to be able to buy 60

goats for families hurt by Hurricane Matthew. Green says they also received some help from her hometown church, New Zion Baptist in Crystal Springs. Green says after the hurricane a lot of families lost livestock and so goats are something they can use as livelihood to make cheese and milk.

Driver, 5 horses dead in Madison crash CANTON — A driver and five horses are dead after a late night car crash in Madison County. The Mississippi Highway Patrol says the accident happened around 9:30 p.m. Sunday night. Trooper Henry tells WLBT-TV that the driver and his wife had to be cut out of the car with the jaws of life and airlifted to a hospital. The station reports the driver died on the way to the hospital and his wife is in critical condition. All five of the horses died on the scene.

DNA study measures deer restocking effort STARKVILLE — Scientists are studying the DNA of deer to gauge the success of restocking efforts a century ago in Southeastern states. Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi wildlife agencies are paying for the research being conducted at the Deer Laboratory at Mississippi State University. Steve Demarais, a wildlife, fisheries and aquaculture professor at MSU’s Forest and Wildlife Research Center, collected more than 1,000 genetic samples

Business owner features homemade, crafted goods BY BOBBY J. SMITH bsmith@dailycorinthian.com

For Sondra Lee, owner of Bella’s Treasures, inspiration came from a place near and dear to her heart. “I started out with my little Bella. She’s my granddaughter. She loved to play with my jewelry, and I started out making bracelets and stuff for her,” Lee remembered. “Now, she loves coming down here. She tells everybody it’s her store.” Starting with the jewelry she constructed for Bella and continuing through years as a Green Market vendor, Lee’s endeavor has led to the founding of a store for homemade and handcrafted goods. Bella’s Treasures is a shop on Fillmore Street just across from the Green Market location where Lee sells her own handmade goods and provides a space for other’s to market their wares. “I started out at the Green Market and worked at that for three years and did craft fairs and things like that,” said Lee. “I’d been wanting to open a business, and I had the opportunity with Steve Simmons to renovate this little shop.” Lee said about 90 percent of the items in her shop are handmade, the exception being a selection of boutique clothing and sterling silver. Items available in the shop include distressed furniture by Darlene’s Design, Amish goat’s milk lotion and soap, handmade soy candles, para-cord dog collars and leashes, pillowcase dresses, Little Monkey Creations’ hair bows, homemade vehicle air fresheners, rice- and rosemary-filled moisture pads, mailbox bows and a variety of holiday gifts and stocking stuffers. Bella’s Treasures also does special orders. “If anybody wants a special item, something they see in here but they want it a different color or a different way, we do that also,” Lee said. Lee, a native of Los Angeles County, said she was not always what one would call a crafty person. She laughs when recalling her first attempts in jewelry creation. “Let’s just say I’ve gotten better,” she said. Since then she has found success with her creations, among the most successful of them being her line of BellaAdd-A-Bead beads — a kind of handmade bead similar to the popular Pandora items. She also specializes in key rings, bracelets and necklaces. Since going into business in April, Bella’s Treasures has been a venue for local artisans to showcase their goods. Lee said some of the vendors have gone on from renting space in the shop to expanding into their own businesses. The shop provides a way for experienced craftspeople or those just starting out to find customers. Lee has also used her business to help out with a number of philanthropic causes in the community. “We do auctions for charities,” she said. “Anytime anyone needs a fundraiser or benefit, let us know. We will definitely help in any way we can.” And Lee always has an eye on the future. She says she expects to take on more vendors in January or February. At that time,

“I started out with my little Bella. She’s my granddaughter. She loved to play with my jewelry, and I started out making bracelets and stuff for her. Now, she loves coming down here. She tells everybody it’s her store.”

Sondra Lee is the proprietor of Bella’s Treasures, a shop where vendors can sell handcrafted items, above. Sondra Lee’s granddaughter Bella — the store’s namesake — is depicted on a sign in the Fillmore Street shop, left.

Sondra Lee Owner she said, she will take out an ad in the newspaper and share the info on the business’ Facebook page. Rent prices for vendor space varies, she said. It all depends on how big vendors want their displays to be. Rent starts at $35, with the biggest 4 by 7 spaces going for $60 a month. Lee said she also hopes Christmas shoppers will see handcrafted gifts as a

step away from the overcommercialization of Christmas. “Christmas has gotten way too commercialized and advertised,” said Lee. “We need to simplify it again.” (Visit Bella’s Treasures at 212 N. Fillmore Street. For more information call 901-491-5006 or look for Bellatreasures16 on Facebook.)

Man Has Not Changed In spite of man’s claims that “day by day, we are getting better in every way,” the truth is that the same ills that plagued society· a thousand, or a hundred, years ago are still with us. While we see vast strides in man’s physical world (medicine, labor, education, etc.). the real ills are untouched. We are no closer to ending wars than a century ago, real neighborliness has declined, and crime rates around the world are skyrocketing. Solomon said in Prov. 21:2, “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes.” And in Eccle. 7:20, “There is not a just man upon the earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.” If that is not true today, then where is the man to contradict it? Man today has the same desires that man of old had: “The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life.” (1 Jno. 2:15). Most of us can see the battle in ourselves which Paul describes in Rom. 7:19, “Good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.” Man is still moved by greed to lie and cheat, moved by hate to kill and moved by selfishness to neglect the needs of those about. No, man hasn’t changed.

Man’s Needs Have Not Changed Man has the same need for guidance that he ever had. It is still true that “the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man that walketh to direct his own steps.” (Jer. 10:23). Because man cannot chart a course that fulfills his purpose, God gave the gospel through Christ. Paul said that in the gospel God’s righteousness is revealed (Rom. 1:17). Man’s greatest need is salvation. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23). Our sins separate us from God (lsa. 59:2) condemn us to spiritual death (Rom. 6:23), and make us enemies of God (Col. 1:20). There could never be greater need for man than salvation – While many will say that we ought to “get invo1ved in the real world of man’s needs,” our answer is that the preaching of the gospel of Him who died to save us from sin is the most relevant of any action that we could take! We echo those words of Jesus, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?’.’ If we preach a message that stops all wars, gives new clothes and wholesome food to every soul on earth and convince all men to live together with true consideration – while we leave them lost – we have failed miserably. Man’s needs are eternal and the message that provides for his needs must be an eternal, unchanging message. the everlasting gospel that will save men’s souls: Read your Bible - Rom.l -Welcome Welcome to Northside.

Alcorn Central multi-sport athlete Tate Perriman stand between head football coach Brandon Cherry (left) and head baseball coach/athletic director Jarred Robinson. Perriman looks to lead the Golden Bears to the state title on the diamond next spring as the ace of the pitching staff.

Tate Perriman: The Natural Tate Perriman is the kind of young man mothers wish their daughters would date. He’s a high school senior at Alcorn Central who is mature beyond his years and level-headed with both feet planted firmly on the ground when it comes to making life decisions. With that Kent Mohundro being said, he’s still a teenage Sports Editor student athlete who makes mistakes, just like the rest of us. It’s a natural process, but one that Perriman chooses to use objectively so he can become the kind of adult whom future generations will look

up to and aspire to be. His mother, Stacie, and father, Chad, have done a credible job raising the kind of boy that is not only a model student. Tate is also an award-winning athlete, likely to accrue further hardware after the upcoming baseball season comes to a close. He’s a fierce but soft-spoken competitor who makes his teammates better just by playing on the same team with him. This past fall is a prime example. Perriman had played other sports throughout his school days but had never given football a try. After talking with his dad, he decided to give it a shot his senior year. He had no idea what posi-

tion he would play or even if he would play all that much. After all, he made his decision and tried out for the team just a week or two before the 2016 season kicked oﬀ. But Perriman indeed made his mark for the Golden Bears, scoring a touchdown the first time he touched the ball against Biggersville in the season opener. He missed a small amount of time during the course of the season with an ankle injury but even that couldn’t stop him. He kept a boot on the injured foot between games and missed minimal time on the field. He ended up playing several positions for coach Brandon Cherry’s squad, including running back and

defensive back. He had a pick-six among his seven interceptions, with another near-pick that slipped through his hands against Booneville. For his efforts, Tate was rewarded by being named second-team All-Division 1-3A at defensive back. Perriman is a natural athlete. He’s the one who walks onto the field with his teammates and you can just tell he’s different. Natural athletes have a different kind of swagger and sway. It’s not an ego thing with him. It’s a natural action. In the 1984 Robert Redford movie “The Natural” Redford plays a young up-and-comPlease see NATURAL | 11A

Kossuth eighth-grader Lauren Hill recently claimed her first cross country state title in class 3A in Pearl. She is joined by her head coach Jackie Hill, who is in her first year guiding the Lady Aggies cross-country team.

Lauren Green: State Champion runner If you wanna catch Lauren Green, good luck. You’ll have to catch the Gator to do it. The Kossuth eighth-grader has already established herself as the premiere crosscountry runner in the state in her division. By the time she graduates in 2021 she plans on being the period. Kent best: The Gator Mohundro is the fourSports Editor wheeler that is used as a kind of pace-vehicle out in front of a pack of runners. “I plan on going to college on a scholarship,” said the Division 3A Mississippi State Champion for 2016. “Coach (Jackie Hill) is always urging me to go tap the Gator.” The daughter of Angie and Michael Green of Kossuth, Lauren started running competitively in the seventh

grade. She aspired to be like her friend and mentor Grace Stanford, who she says is constantly motivating her. “She was always in the top 10 and always giving me tips.” Green finished a perfect season with a 9-0 record, which includes running away with the state title at Pearl last month. She finished that course in a time of 19:43 and won with room to spare. Her goals include moving down into the low 18s and finishing her career blemishfree. “I’m not really sure how fast Lauren can run,” said first-year cross country coach Jackie Hill, who helped guide Green to the top of the mountain. “I just know she’s very dedicated and she never seems to overexert herself.” “She’s in very good shape and doesn’t take shortcuts.” Green has literally been running all her life, so fast at times as a kid that her parents couldn’t catch or keep

up with her. “My parents used to say that I was gonna be a runner when I grow up because I was always running around as a kid,” Green remembers. “It was just something I really enjoyed. I’d get outside with my cousins and play tag and stuﬀ like that.” Those cousins ran crosscountry at Corinth High School, and Green used to go watch their races and support them. Now they do the same for her. Although Green was rarely challenged down the stretch in her matches this past fall, she did have one race that was a bit closer than the norm. “It was at Hickory Flat. I had done some extra things that week that had used more energy than I normally do and my legs got a little weary. The other girl and I were neck-to-neck most of the way, but the final couple of miles were uphill and that’s where I’m the strongest.” The Lady Aggie runner

makes it a habit to be in shape and to take hills faster than she would run going downhill. “One of our rules is to go faster up hills and not so fast down the hills. That way you conserve energy when it’s time to climb one.” It’s hard enough for a seasoned veteran to handle the pressure of success, much less a young teenager who still hasn’t reached the freshman level of high school. But Green handles the spotlight quite well thank you. “It makes me feel good to have the success I’ve had so far,” she mentioned. “But my best friend Ady Massengill helps keep me grounded.” “Lauren is a natural runner,” says Hill. “But she wants to be the best. I really don’t have to pressure her but in practice I try to do that by staggering the starts of each group.” “Tanner Childs (a male high school athlete and runPlease see CHAMPION | 11A

Alcorn Central Senior lefthander Tate Perriman sets his eyes on the plate and on winning a state championship on the diamond this season with the Golden Bears. Central lost to county rival Kossuth in the North Half finals last year and plans on taking the next step this spring.

NATURAL CONTINUED FROM 10A

ing baseball prodigy that meets with an unfortunate accident that keeps him out of the game for a number of years before he makes a major-league comeback with the New York Knights in his late 30s. His character was labeled ‘the natural’ because of his unnatural and uncanny ability to play the game at a high level without the apparent training most athletes require years to accomplish. Tate has that aura about him: like a young man who could play any sport he chooses and be successful at the highest of levels. “I wish I had him again next year,” said Cherry. “Tate brought that competitive edge from the baseball field down to the football field. His athleticism on the field was above and beyond what we expected. “I appreciate him and the other two baseball players that came out for football this year. He helped kind of change the culture and tone of the team with his mental edge and competitive and tough nature. “We’re better for it.” Head baseball coach Jarred Robinson echoed the sentiments of Cherry and took it a step further. “Tate was a big reason for our success on the field last year. He had a big hit against Kossuth that drove in a run and we won in extra innings. That propelled us on to wins in the first two rounds of the playoffs against Independence and North Pontotoc.” The Bears and Aggies would meet again in a best-of-three series that would send one of them to the state championship series in Pearl, Mississippi. It was rightfully labeled the defacto state championship series, because there didn’t seem to be a team from the south that could beat either one of them. The Aggies went on to claim the title that Central came oh-so-close to having themselves. Now they are more determined than ever to bring the school another championship trophy from the diamond. Perriman will be the ace of the Golden Bear pitching staff this spring and looks to add more awards to the trophy case. He was named the defensive player of the year for Division 1-3A for his efforts last year, where he was primarily the everyday centerfielder but was a valuable part of the pitching staff as well. It was a crew that featured powerful righthander Justin Pickle among others.

Tate has also accomplished great things in the classroom and is listed in the top 10 of his class. He has been honored to receive awards in English and History, and was decorated with the Presidential Award for perfect attendance, an award he says his mother is responsible for. “She’s always been the one that asked how much homework I had and made it a priority for me to always be at school early. Not just on time: early. And that wasn’t just for school. It was for church or anywhere else they might be going. “My dad was more responsible for my athletic ability and teaching me mental toughness and how to play. He built me a batting cage when I was in tee ball and that’s where I first started learning how to play baseball.” Perriman joined a traveling baseball team in fifth grade and has been honing his skills ever since. He hopes to play collegiately. Asked to describe his ability to let negative plays roll oﬀ him like water, he said “I just play my game. It’s all in how you handle the pressure. If a crowd is booing or yelling at me I figure it’s because I’m doing something right and I use it as self-motivation.” “I do get upset with myself sometimes, but when you make a mistake you just have to learn from it and move on to the next play.” “That happened to him after the East Union football game this past season,” said Robinson. “I could see he was visibly upset, but it didn’t last long.” Perriman described his philosophy about playing and winning on the field. “You wanna make plays for the team just as much as you do for yourself. Whatever it is I’m playing I wanna win but I also wanna have fun.” The Alcorn Central standout is also an active member of West Corinth Church of Christ, where he serves as a song leader and youth group leader, and has won several awards in the Lads-ToLeaders program. Simply put, Tate Perriman is the genuine article: an intelligent young man who excels not only in the classroom but also on the field. He also serves his community, being involved with several diﬀerent projects including the Lighthouse. My wish is that the world give us more Tate Perrimans: young people who aspire to be the best while remaining humble and level-headed. Thank you, Chad and Stacie, for raising such a remarkable young man.

Earnhardt says health top priority for return The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It took less than four laps for Dale Earnhardt Jr. to feel back at home in his race car. His test this week at Darlington Raceway was the final hurdle for NASCAR’s most popular driver to earn clearance to compete next season. The test ended months of speculation — should

Earnhardt retire? Was the risk of suﬀering yet another concussion too great? — and a detailed medical plan helped get him back on the track when many thought he should just step away for good. “When you get something taken away from you, you certainly realize what it’s worth,” Earn-

hardt said Friday. “I’m feeling recharged and energized about coming back ready to race. I’ve got a lot left in the tank.” And he wants to make something perfectly clear: Earnhardt would not be climbing back into the No. 88 Chevrolet if his doctors had not assured him that he’s healthy and his past concussion his-

tory hasn’t put him at a heightened risk of permanent injury. “I have a personal responsibility to myself. My health is number one. I am not going to take any unnecessary risks with my health,” he said. “I wouldn’t be coming back to the seat and being excited to drive if there was any additional risk.”

She’s really good.” Green only competes against runners from the same level (3A) but sometimes wonders how she would fare against some of the large school runners. “If I were to get a college scholarship I would want the coaches to know that I will work hard and be dedicated. I love to run. It’s a stress reliever too.” “I hope to be like Grace and help the younger kids get better like she did with me.” If Green continues on her current pace, the sky is the limit for this blondhaired runner with an angelic smile. And coach Hill knows what she has in Lauren. “She’s a very special girl with a special talent.” There’s no doubt we’ll be seeing more gold trophies for Kossuth High School with the help of Lauren Green ... oh, and her teammates of course.
