Election commissioner to resign BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Keith Settlemires is resigning as a county election commissioner as he prepares to launch a campaign for another county office. He presented his resignation

to the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday. Later, he confirmed that he intends to run for sheriff, which will be an open post with Charles Rinehart not planning to seek reelection. Settlemires said he has en-

joyed serving for the past 10 years as the fourth district election commissioner. “If it’s God’s plan, I look forward to working for the people of Alcorn County in another capacity,” he said. Settlemires, an investigator

Basket fund tops $6,600 The spirit of giving this Christmas season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area. Donations continue to arrive for the 19th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund. A $25,000 fund raising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 6. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached. So far, $6,627 has been raised, meaning $18,373 still needs to be raised to make the goal. Recent donations include $100 from J.E. Newcomb Trucking in memory of James and Bonetha Newcomb; $35 from Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church; $100 from Mason St. Luke Baptist Church; $100 from Brad Brawner in memory of Becky; $100 anonymous gift in memory of Elbert and Mae Mitchell; $200 from Randy Long in honor of extraordinary Rotarians Rob Skelton, Gerald McLemore, Allan Lee, Steve Icardi, Ronnie Sleeper, Dorothy Senf, Phil Hinton and Keith Carlton.

ACHS hosts ‘holiday hoops’ BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — Alcorn Central has a post-Christmas present ready to be delivered. The high school has plenty of basketball set for Dec. 29-30. The 8th Annual Peggy Bain Holiday Hoops Tournament will see 32 teams battle in two gyms over the two days. “We are excited about the competition,” said Bain’s daughter and Alcorn Central Lady Bears Head Coach Charlette Foster. “I think each pool will be competitive.” Both days of action begins at 9 a.m. with the last contest slated for a 7:30 p.m. start. There is four pools for both boys and girls teams. Admission to each day is $5. “We wanted to keep the cost at $5 for families can come in together and watch some basketball,” said Foster. “Admission is good for both gyms Please see HOOPS | 2A

Donation helps holiday program BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Spreading joy to children who would otherwise go without this Christmas, a local good samaritan has made a generous contribution to the Region IV Mental Health Center. Jeff Smith, owner of Crossroads Chevrolet Buick GMC said he was inspired to give to the center after speaking with one of its caseworkers. “She came in and purchased a vehicle from us and we began talking,” he said. “We had been doing Toys for Tots for several years and were searching for another worthy cause to give back to.

After hearing her story, I felt good about it.” According to the mental health center, 100 percent Smith’s $3,000 donation will directly benefit children and their families in the Crossroads area. “Thanks to his recent monetary donation, our staff will be able to help many children this holiday season,” said Region IV Executive Director Charlie Spearman. “I was very appreciative of his heartfelt contribution to help with the kids we serve.” Each year, the mental health facility attempts to solicit donations in order to

provide children with toys and proper clothing. “Our staff coordinates with local teachers in the city of Corinth and Alcorn County to identify children in need,” said Spearman. “They then go into the homes and see what each child’s needs and wants are. Once the needs have been uncovered, they go out and purchase as many of the items as possible.” Spearman wished to thank Smith and the staff at Region IV for their selfless devotion to others. “The lives of so many families will be enriched due to their efforts,” he said.

The owners of the two large puppy mills raided in October by the Humane Society of the United States and the CorinthAlcorn Animal Shelter made their second appearance in court Tuesday for arraignment. Larry and Juanita Meeks and Orville and Gloria Greenhaw each pleaded not guilty to animal and livestock cruelty, neglect and abuse in connection with the search and seizure of more than 170 abused animals. Shelter representatives are set to present evidence, including hundreds of photos, gathered by investigators during the raids to Judge Jimmy McGee when the trial begins in Alcorn County Justice Court on January 20. If convicted, the owners could face fines, but no jail time. “An action must be taken against these property owners. A message must be sent to anyone else in our community doing this kind of activity,” said Charlotte Doehner, shelter volunteer director. “We will see this to the end. We’re not giving up.” Humane Society officials assisted the local shelter in the removal and on site treatment of the abused animals from Greenhaw’s property in northeastern Alcorn County about Please see ANIMALS | 2A

Corinth City Hall plays vital role in community BY DAVID HUWE For the Daily Corinthian

The six-part series that recently reflected on the accomplishments of the past four years in the City of Corinth also touched briefly on the day-today tasks of each of the departments: fire, police, sewer and streets. Each of these departments relies heavily on administrative services that are housed in the municipal building, or Corinth City Hall, located at 300 Childs Street. In addition to housing the board room and the mayor’s office, the handful of administrative employees

housed in the municipal building provide a variety of vital services that indirectly affect the health, safety and welfare of Corinth’s citizens, property owners and business owners.

Financial Administration/Records & Licenses None of the services provided by the various departments could take place without proper funding. The city receives its operating income from four primary sources: sales taxes, ad valorem taxes, fees and fines. Based on the

projected amount of these revenue streams, the board of mayor and aldermen, along with the city clerk and department heads, develop the city’s budget that must be adopted by Oct. 1 of each year. Following the adoption of the budget, the city must still go through the processes of competitive purchasing as required by the State of Mississippi to assure that taxpayer dollars are properly managed. After that, the city must account for these purchases by maintaining an inventory of these assets until such time as they are no longer needed

by the city, in which case they must be disposed of according to procedures mandated by the state. Like most businesses, the city must staff task areas such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and insurance management. As a public entity and an agency of the state, the city has additional responsibilities and tasks for which it is responsible. Included are the conducting of elections, and record-keeping associated with the public meetings during which the city’s business is Please see CITY HALL | 3A

Daily Corinthian Pet of the Week

Service award Lowell Hinton of Alcorn County is presented with a gold watch commemorating his service on the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors by President Randy Knight. Hinton has represented Alcorn, Benton and Tippah counties for the past two years. Farm Bureau is the state’s largest general agriculture organization with over 192,000 member families.

Lolita is this week’s Daily Corinthian Dog of the Week (ID # 3601). Lolita is a young female beagle/shepherd mix close to six months old and would make a great pet for the family. She loves hanging around people and is very pet friendly. She should be a medium size dog and is already leash trained. She would be perfect as an inside or outside dog. You may contact the Corinth Alcorn Animal Shelter at 662-284-5800 with any questions about Lolita or any other pets from the local shelter.

Anderson third-grader campaigns to save trees BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

BOONEVILLE — Anderson Elementary School third-grader Peyton Hodge took matters into his own hands when he learned the school district was planning to cut down trees near his school’s playground.

The son of Stewart and Molly Hodge of Booneville was playing with friends in early November when he noticed strange markings on the trees. “I saw some marks on them and I was afraid they were going to get cut down,” he said. He quickly enlisted several

friends to create the Save Our Trees Club and reach out to school officials to protect the trees. Molly Hodge said when Peyton first came home worried about the trees she encouraged him to think about what he could do. He wrote a letter to

Superintendent Todd English explaining why the trees are important to the students and asking for them to be saved. The letter was signed by several other students. The student then met with English to share their concerns. He said the trees give the stu-

A portion of the proceeds will be used for a pair of $500 scholarships. “A male and female senior will be awarded the scholarships,” said Foster. “The recipients do not have to be members of the basketball teams.

The animals, mostly expensive breed dogs and cats often sold at flea markets, were living in intolerable conditions with no access to clean water or food. Many of the animals were underweight and were suffering from a multitude of untreated medical conditions. Piles of feces and maggots were present throughout each property. Groups safely transported the animals to various locations outside the county where they were thoroughly examined by teams of veterinarians and received necessary medical treatment. Many of the animals were adopted.

In 1914, during World War I, Britain declared Egypt an official protectorate. In 1925, Col. William Mitchell was convicted at his court-martial in Washington of insubordination for accusing senior military officials of incompetence and criminal negligence; he was suspended from active duty. In 1939, the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee was scuttled by its crew, ending the World War II Battle of the River Plate off Uruguay. In 1944, the U.S. War Department announced it was ending its policy of excluding people of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast. In 1957, the United States successfully testfired the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time. In 1979, Arthur McDuffie, a black insurance executive, was fatally injured after leading police on a chase with his motorcycle in Miami. (Four white police officers accused of beating McDuffie were later acquitted, sparking riots.) In 1994, North Korea shot down a U.S. Army helicopter which had strayed north of the demilitarized zone. The copilot, Chief Warrant Officer David Hilemon, was killed; the pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Bobby Hall, was captured and held for two weeks. In 2011, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il died after more than a decade of iron rule; he was 69, according to official records, but some reports indicated he was 70.

conducted. Some of these records are required to be kept indefinitely. Also, in keeping with the mission of protecting the health, safety and welfare of its citizens, the city issues licenses to individuals and businesses who wish to conduct business within its boundaries to help ensure these license holders are qualified to provide services consistent with practices that are in keeping with the public interest.

Grant Administration Most of us who are parents have been approached at one time or another by children with an outstretched hand. Before parting with our hard-earned money, we usually want to know what it’s for and how we’ll know that it’s been properly spent. The same scene is played out throughout our nation as cities go to their state capitols, and states go to their representatives in Washington with their list of “needs.” Corinth is no different. When the opportunity presents itself and it is consistent with the needs of the city, the city applies for federal or state grants to supplement its other revenue streams. And like our household funds, that money comes with conditions. Following is a partial list of the programs with which the city must comply when

federal funds are being used: • Clean Air Act of 1970 • National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 • Preservation of Historic and Archaeological Data Act of 1974 • Executive Order 11593 – Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment • Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 • Executive Order 11990 – Protection of Wetlands • Executive Order 11988 – Floodplain Management and U.S. Water Resources Council Guidelines • Farmland Protection Policy Act of 1981 • Federal Water Pollution Control Act as Amended • Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and U.S. EPA Implementing Regulations • Resource Conservation and Recover Act of 1976 (solid waste) and U.S. EPA Implementing Regulations • Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act • Endangered Species Act of 1973 • Man-made Hazards - HUD Regulations 24 CFR Part 51 • Executive Order 12898 – Environmental Justice • Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1970 Most of these grants can only be used for “brick and mortar” projects or equipment purchases, although occasionally some grants are

made available for studies or to encourage the addition of staff such as firefighters or police officers. Nearly all of the federal and state grants also require the recipient to match the grant with local funds. The amount of the match can range from 5 percent to 50 percent of the project cost or more, depending on the requirements and competition associated with the program. While some of these grants are applied for by entities such as the Corinth Gas & Water Department or the Corinth/ Alcorn Joint Airport Board, they are usually funneled through the city’s financial accounts for accountability and auditing purposes. Over the past four years the city has either completed or been awarded projects totaling about $100 million of which $25 million was grants.

Floodplain Administration The city participates in the National Flood Insurance Program that makes flood insurance available to property owners and tenants. Participation in the program also allows the city to qualify for disaster relief funds related to flooding and non-flood events such as tornadoes. Owners of buildings that exist in a special flood hazard area may be required by law to purchase federal flood insurance. In order to participate in this program, the city

Federal Programs/ Code Enforcement Corinth is required to comply with and/or promote many federal programs and laws to assure equal opportunities and fair treatment for all of its citizens. Additionally, the city has adopted ordinances to protect the health, safety and general welfare of those who live in Corinth, or who choose Corinth as a place to establish and conduct their businesses. Most ordinances falling under the responsibility of the code enforcement officer involve the maintenance of properties and involve control of plant growth, the number and types of animals allowed on a property, junked vehicles, land use and control of debris. Other areas of responsibility include enforcement of the sign ordinance and street lighting issues.

Opinion

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

Tortured reasoning Critics and defenders of the harsh interrogation methods applied to captured terrorists can argue forever over whether those methods were “torture.” But any serious discussion of a serious issue – and surely Thomas terrorism qualifies as serious Sowell – has to move beyond semantics and confront the ultimate Columnist question: “Compared to what alternative?” If you knew that there was a hidden nuclear time bomb planted somewhere in New York City – set to go off today – and you had a captured terrorist who knew where and when, would you not do anything whatever to make him tell you where and when? Would you pause to look up the definition of “torture”? Would you even care what the definition of “torture” was, when the alternative was seeing millions of innocent people murdered? Senator Dianne Feinstein’s recent release of a massive report on the CIA’s severe interrogation methods, used against captured Islamic terrorists, has set off a firestorm of controversy. It is hard to see what benefit the United States of America gains from releasing that report. But it is painfully obvious what lasting damage has been done to the security of Americans. One of the most obscene acts of the Obama administration, when it first took office, was to launch a criminal investigation of CIA agents who had used harsh interrogation methods against captured terrorists in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Right after those terrorist attacks, when there were desperate fears of what might be coming next, these CIA agents were trying to spare fellow Americans another attack that could take thousands more lives, or perhaps millions more. To turn on these agents, years later, after they did what they were urged to do, is both a betrayal of those who acted in the past and a disincentive to those in the future who are charged with safeguarding the nation. The public’s “right to know” has often been invoked to justify publicizing confidential information. But is there any evidence that the American public was clamoring to learn state secrets, which every government has? I don’t know where our nuclear weapons are located and I don’t want to know, certainly not at the cost of letting our enemies know. The ease with which politicians are willing to pull the rug out from under people whose job is to safeguard our lives is not only a betrayal of those people but a danger to us all. People who are constantly denouncing the police, including with demonstrable lies, may think they are showing solidarity with people in the ghettos. But, when police hesitate to go beyond “kinder and gentler” policing, that leaves decent people in black communities at the mercy of thugs who have no mercy. When conscientious young people, of any race, who would like to help maintain peace and order see that being a policeman means having race hustlers constantly whipping up mob hostility against you – and having opportunistic politicians and the media join the race hustlers – those young people may decide that some other line of work would be better. When people who volunteer to put their lives on the line in the military to defend this country, at home and abroad, see their buddies killed on the battlefield, and sometimes themselves come back minus an arm or a leg, or with severe physical and mental damage that they may never get over – and then see some headstrong politician in the White House throw away everything they fought for, and see enemy forces take back places for which Americans shed their blood, that can be galling to them and a deterrent to others who might otherwise take their place in the future. If we cannot see beyond the moment today, we will pay dearly tomorrow and in many more tomorrows.

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to see the beauty of the world, and through my duty may I find the love in the world. May I not spend my life in discontent, but may I remember that thou hast said, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” Fill my heart with compassion, that I may love my fellow man as I love myself. Amen.

The left’s lawless shock troops Anti-police protesters have found their enemy, and it is commuters and shoppers. The protest movement that has sprung up in the wake of grand-jury decisions not to indict police officers in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases is the anti-police version of Occupy Wall Street. It represents the same free-floating critique of “the system,” with the same strong whiff of lawlessness. Even when protesters aren’t burning out buildings (as they did repeatedly in Ferguson), even when they haven’t broken windows (as they have in Oakland and Berkeley), they have closed down intersections and bridges. In other words, even when they have been “peaceful,” the protests have involved coercion and illegal acts. Given the events of the past two weeks, you could be forgiven for thinking that the reason President Barack Obama says there is an infrastructure crisis in this country is that there aren’t enough bridges and tunnels for anti-police protesters to block. The logic of these actions is, to say the least, not ob-

vious. Eric Garner didn’t die in the custody of commuters trying to exit New York through Rich one of its Lowry bridges or tunnels. He National wasn’t taken Review down during his arrest by cabdrivers trying to make a living in an already-gridlocked city. All of these ordinary people, who haven’t harmed anyone, are being inconvenienced for the sin of having somewhere to go. The left has long posited various means of achieving social justice, from the general strike to consciousnessraising worker collectives. To these methods must now be added traffic congestion, as well as the staging of obnoxious spectacles during the Christmas shopping season. If the road to police reform goes through the Disney Store in Times Square and other retail outlets around the country, the demonstrations have truly hit home. A professor at the City University of New York named Eric Linsker, who writes “f*** the police” in

what he calls his poetry (Robert Frost he is not), took a more direct approach at the inaptly named Millions March NYC over the weekend. He allegedly seemed ready to throw a trash can on police from an elevated walkway on the Brooklyn Bridge. The old Pete Seeger progressive anthem was “If I Had a Hammer.” For Linsker, it isn’t an issue; he was reportedly found with a bag full of them. In the Brooklyn Bridge melee, two police officers who were there to ensure that the protesters’ civil rights weren’t violated were allegedly attacked, although accounts differ about what happened. (Maybe future ambiguity can be resolved by having violent agitators wear body cameras.) The spirit of at least some of these protesters was captured in a chant caught on video: “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!” And this is a movement that has gotten broadly sympathetic press coverage. Imagine if tea-party rallies occasionally dissolved into acts of arson and property damage. Or if they involved disorderly acts in public spaces. Or if they featured

chants braying for violence against their enemies. Back in the day, Sarah Palin merely put a target symbol on a map of congressmen she hoped to defeat, and it was taken as almost an incitement to murder. But these are all counterfactuals, because public disorder, lawlessness and intimidation are almost exclusively the tools of the left. This is because the left doesn’t put a high value on order and lawfulness, at least not when they are perceived to be obstacles to its goals; because it has a violent anarchist fringe that exists to rampage and break things whenever it gets the opportunity; because it has a romance for direct action; and because it tends to believe that the entire American system is rotten, and therefore any means justify the ends in attempting to upend it. It will take out its rage on any convenient target and expect – correctly – to get a free pass from the establishment media and liberal elite.

Examining the rise of Putinism “Abe tightens grip on power as Japanese shun election.” So ran the page one headline of the Financial Times on the victory of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Sunday’s elections. Abe is the most nationalistic leader of postwar Japan. He is rebooting nuclear power, building up Japan’s military, asserting her rights in territorial disputes with China and Korea. And he is among a host of leaders of large and emerging powers who may fairly be described as the new nationalistic strong men. Xi Jinping is another. Staking a claim to all the islands in the South and East China seas, moving masses of Han Chinese into Tibet and Uighur lands to swamp native peoples, purging old comrades for corruption, Xi is the strongest leader China has seen in decades. He sits astride what may now be the world’s largest economy and is asserting his own Monroe Doctrine. Hong Kong’s democracy protests were tolerated until Xi tired of them. Then they were swept off the streets. Call it Putinism. It appears to be rising, while the New World Order of Bush I, the “global hegemony” of the

neocons, and the democracy crusade of Bush II seem to belong to yesterday. Narendra Pat Modi, leader Buchanan of the Hindu nationalist Columnist party who was denied entry into the United States for a decade for complicity in or toleration of a massacre of Muslims is now Prime Minister of India. “Members of the rightwing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh,” the FT reports, “the Organisation of National Volunteers that gave birth to the Bharatiya Janata party headed by Mr. Modi – have been appointed to key posts in the governing party and cultural institutions. “Nationalists have railed in public against the introduction of ‘western’ practices such as wearing bikinis on the beach, putting candles on birthday cakes and using English in schools – all to the chagrin of fretful liberals.” And as the democracy demonstrators were routed in Hong Kong, so, too, were the Tahrir Square “Arab Spring” demonstrators in Egypt, home country to one

in four Arabs. With the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, the Muslim Brotherhood came to power in free elections, but was then overthrown by the Egyptian Army. General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is now president and rules as autocratically as Mubarak, or Nasser before him. What do these leaders have in common? All are strong men. All are nationalists. Almost all tend to a social conservatism from which Western democracies recoil. Almost none celebrate democratic values the way we do. And almost all reject America’s claim to be the “indispensable nation” or “exceptional nation” and superpower leader. Fareed Zakaria lists as “crucial elements of Putinism ... nationalism, religion, social conservatism, state capitalism and government domination of the media. They are all, in some way or another, different from and hostile to, modern Western values of individual rights, tolerance, cosmopolitanism, and internationalism.” Yet not every American revels in the sewer that is our popular culture. Not every American believes we

should impose our democratist ideology on other nations. Patriotism, religion and social conservatism guide the lives of a majority of Americans today. As the Associated Press reports this weekend, Putinism finds echoes across Central and Western Europe. Hungary’s Viktor Orban has said he sees in Russia a model for his own “illiberal state.” The National Front’s Marine Le Pen wants to bring France into a new Gaullist Europe, stretching “from the Atlantic to the Urals,” with France seceding from the EU superstate. These rising right-wing parties are “partners” of Russia in that they “share key views – advocacy of traditional family values, belief in authoritarian leadership, a distrust of the U.S., and support for strong law and order measures.” If America is a better country today than she has ever been, why are so many, East and West, recoiling from what we offer now?

Resort towns worry over pot perception BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. â€” Business is booming in Coloradoâ€™s mountain resorts, and the addition of recreational marijuana stores this year has attracted customers curious about legalized pot. But thereâ€™s mounting anxiety that ski towns have embraced stoner culture a little too much, potentially damaging the stateâ€™s tourism brand. That worry flared up in two resort towns last week. In Breckenridge, residents voted overwhelmingly to force downtownâ€™s lone dispensary off Main Street to a less-visible location. And just up the road in Granby, town officials used a property annex to prevent the first dispensary from opening there. The fear is that some families â€” a mainstay of the ski tourism industry â€” will stop vacationing here. â€œItâ€™s not a morality issue, or that we think marijuana is bad,â€? said Breckenridge councilman Gary Gallagher, who supported legal marijuana but also voted to force the Breckenridge Cannabis Club out of downtown. â€œMarijuana, it is not in this countryâ€™s DNA yet. Itâ€™s a little bit too early.â€? So far, thereâ€™s no indication that legal pot has damaged tourism, Coloradoâ€™s No. 2 industry. The state notched a record $17.3 billion in tourism spending the year after legalization, with a record 64.6 million visitors, and state tourism officials say 2014 is poised to top last yearâ€™s record. Â

Senate may confirm up to 88 new judges WASHINGTON â€” Lawmakers negotiated Tuesday over a final batch of President Barack Obamaâ€™s judicial nominees with Democrats hoping to win Senate confirmation for up to a dozen of them, a final burst that would push this yearâ€™s total to the highest annual figure in 20 years. The Senate has approved 76 federal court of appeals and district court judges so far this year. Confirmation of 12 more would bring this yearâ€™s total to 88 â€” the most since a Democratic-led Senate approved 99 of President Bill Clintonâ€™s appeals and district court nominees in 1994, according to Russell Wheeler, who studies the judiciary at the Brookings Institution. Whatever this yearâ€™s figure, it will easily surpass the 43 approved last year and the 49 confirmed in 2012. Majority Democrats enabled that in November 2013, when they muscled through a weakening of the Senateâ€™s rules on filibusters, the procedural delays that minority parties have long used to sink nominations and bills they dislike. â€œRepublicans have just slow-walked judicial nominations,â€? said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. â€œWhat weâ€™re doing is what we should have done the last couple of years.â€? Senate leaders were hoping to end this yearâ€™s session as soon as Tuesday night. Thanks to their triumph in last monthâ€™s midterm elections, Republicans will run the Senate in next yearâ€™s Congress â€” and are sure to slow the pace of approving Obama nominees. Lawmakers from both parties said discussions between the two sides

were underway to see how many of Obamaâ€™s judicial picks the Senate would approve before adjourning. Â

No immigration deal from GOP Congress WASHINGTON â€” A Congress that began with bright hopes for immigration legislation is ending in bitter divisions on the issue even as some Republicans warn that the political imperative for acting is stronger than ever for the GOP. In place of a legislative solution, President Barack Obamaâ€™s recent executive action to curb deportations for millions here illegally stands as the only federal response to what all lawmakers agree is a dysfunctional immigration system. Many Democrats are convinced Latino voters will reward them for Obamaâ€™s move in the 2016 presidential and Senate elections, while some Republicans fear they will have a price to pay. â€œIf we donâ€™t make some down payment toward a rational solution on immigration in 2015, early 2016, good luck winning the White House,â€? said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, an author of the comprehensive immigration bill that passed the Senate last year with bipartisan support, but stalled in the GOP-led House. With the expiration of the 113th Congress this month, that bill will officially die, along with its path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants in this country illegally. Immigration is certain to be a focus for the new, fully Republican-led Congress when it convenes in January â€” but thereâ€™s little expectation the GOP will make another attempt at compre-

hensive reforms. Instead, GOP leaders in the House and Senate have pledged to take action to block Obamaâ€™s executive moves, setting up a battle for late February when funding expires for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration matters. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has promised action on a border security bill as part of that.

IS recruits broadly, not just fighters WASHINGTON â€” As it looks to expand its territorial base across broad swaths of Iraq and Syria, the Islamic State group is recruiting for more than just fighters. The extremist organization also has been targeting its sophisticated propaganda to entice potential wives and professionals such as doctors, accountants and engineers in its efforts to build a new society. Among those it has lured were three teenage girls from Colorado, who set out for Syria this fall after swapping Twitter messages about marriage and religion with IS recruiters, and a young woman who sought to fight there â€” or failing that, to use her nursing skills. Itâ€™s a diverse pool of recruits whose motives perplex Western governments seeking to combat the flow. The group â€œis issuing a bit of a siren song through social media, trying to attract people to their so-called caliphate,â€? FBI Director James Comey told reporters. â€œAnd among the people theyâ€™re trying to attract are young women to be brides for these jihadis.â€? The group conscripts children for battle, recruits Westerners for acts of jihad and releases videotapes of beheadings.

Former utility chief faces bribery charge GULFPORT â€” A former Harrison County supervisor is scheduled to plead guilty Tuesday to a federal conspiracy charge related to bribes prosecutors say he took from a contractor who was doing business with the local utility authority. Kim Savant resigned from the board of supervisors 30 minutes before he agreed to be charged with a single count of conspiracy to commit bribery. His lawyer, William Kirksey, said the 65-year-old Savant will plead guilty at a 4 p.m. hearing Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden in Gulfport. â€œMr. Savant has accepted responsibility for his actions from the beginning and desires to go ahead and get this part behind him and continue with his life,â€? Kirksey said. Â

Wicker receives panel assignments JACKSON â€” Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker has retained his seniority positions on the Senate Armed Service and Commerce Committee. Wickerâ€™s office says in a news release that the senator will also serve on the Budget Committee; the Environment and Public Works Committee; and the Rules Committee. The EPW Committee oversees a broad range of issues, including oversight of the Envi-

ronmental Protection Agency. Wicker is the second ranked Republican on the Commerce Committee. It works on issues related to telecommunications, highways, ports, aviation, NASA, the Coast Guard, and oceans and fisheries. Â

Tourism group asks for hotel room tax PASCAGOULA â€” The Mississippi Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau has asked Jackson County supervisors for a 2 percent nightly occupancy tax on hotel rooms to support tourism. Harrison and Hancock counties have headson-beds taxes in place that raise money to support the Mississippi Gulf Coast Regional Convention and Visitors Bureau. Pascagoula, Moss Point and Ocean Springs have lodging taxes in their municipal areas. That money does

not go to the Gulf Coast group. â€œThis is for funding to drive tourism visits to South Mississippi,â€? tourism board member Rich Westfall told Jackson County supervisors Monday. Â

Lee County juvenile detention rate rises TUPELO â€” Lee County will charge more to house young offenders from other counties starting Jan. 1. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports the board of supervisors raised the daily rate to $130. The juvenile detention center currently charges other counties $90 a day. Lee County Judge Charlie Brett says the center provides education, health, mental health and dental services. Brett says the extra money will mean the center can keep a mental health professional available more hours.

How far have we progressed? Exodus: Gods and Kings ****, PG-13, Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton. Director Ridley Scott. Chermin Entertainment. Length 150 minutes. The story takes place in Egypt around 1300 BCE when Ramses was King of the city called Memphis. It is a Biblical story about God and Moses (Christian Bale) attempting to free 600,000 Hebrew slaves. Ramses (Joel Edgerton) who is in charge of keeping the slaves in line, employs some rather harsh techniques. We all know that Moses was living in Egypt, the city of Memphis since he was a baby. The story begins when Moses is a grown man helping Ramses and his soldiers keep the Hebrews enslaved. The audience views the culture and tragedies of Ramses’ Empire. Moses leaves Memphis, and lives with the free Hebrews. He marries and gradually realizes that God is real. “We are all God’s people, and it demonstrates if we follow

God, our lives will be much improved, and our conscious will be at Terry ease.” Burns Despite the realMovie Critic ization, Moses has a great deal of trouble believing and becoming a child of God. We witness the burning Bush, and Moses battle with his faith. Chosen to free the Hebrews, he becomes a great leader for God and His people. He does not know all the answers immediately. He has to work and be patient to find his way of trusting in God. When humans try and fail, God will take the reins and show us the way. Trying to find a way to free the Hebrews was a difficult issue. Sometimes it takes time, a lot of patience, and of course, trust in God. A catastrophic event takes place as God sends the ten plagues to Egypt. The plagues were Blood in the Nile River, frogs

leaving the river for land, lice, flies, infection of the pestilence as a result of the first four plaques, boils, hailstorms, locusts, dust storms, and finally the death of the first born children of the Egyptians. The Hebrews leave their slave homes and begin to travel to the Promised Land. However, Ramses is very angry at what happened, so he takes his army of bad guys to hunt down the Hebrews and kill them. I did not hear any curse words during this film. I guess the humans had not invented them at that time. It should have stayed that way. It would be a better world if individuals would do the right thing and not listen to someone who wants to be in the limelight and knows not what he thinks he does. Though it began long ago, it was more prevalent in 1300 BCE and seems to be worse today. Those who have a little power tend to want to demonstrate it to the community. If one has

been told everything is okay with what is taking place, and then a few days later, they destroy their job and their career, because of others, it is obvious communication did not happen. God has His own way of showing us our journey on earth, and it is not the decision of individuals who are thinking only of themselves, and their selfish way of living. When there is an issue with this egotistic kind communication, “There Is A Dead Cat on the Line Somewhere.” That means communication did not happen. The horror of doing wrongs to others has been going on since the beginning of time. However, it should not be that way. “Exodus” gives the audience more than they really want to experience. As the Hebrew’s move closer to the Red Sea, Ramses and his band of soldiers are getting closer to them. This is where the movie brings in some more special effects like it did with the ten plagues. When the Red Sea parts

for the Hebrews to cross over, the audience will view more special effects. I have to say, the movie was slow, long, and at times dull. However, it did bring some interesting parts that will give individuals a look at a time in Biblical history that demonstrates the sadness and appalling ways which have been with us for a long, long time, and they are with us now. We should remember that honesty, compassion, and working together are the best ways to make the world a better place to live. It is not just a few people who have all the right answers; it is about working together to find a better solution and the right decision to use. “Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets.” Try it, because it will work. (Terry Burns is the Daily Corinthian’s movie critic. Four stars means excellent.)

The greatest gift of all BY JIMMY REED Columnist

While sipping a cup of coffee at the top of the stairs, I heard little feet pitter-pattering into the living room where a Christmas tree was surrounded by beautifully wrapped gifts. Dawn was just breaking and my grandson Corey was already up. I sat quietly, watching his excitement. The scene reminded me of a Christmas morning, long ago. The year was 1984. A heavy snow piled almost to the windowsills, and flakes continued falling. The Christmas tree, like the one now below me, was decorated with bulbs, candy canes, flashing lights, and an angel, watching from above. One gift stood out from the rest: a long, slender box wrapped in shiny red

paper and a huge bow. It contained a Daisy Red Ryder BB rife, a gift my son was hoping for above all else. His love of guns grew, and upon entering the military, his marksmanship skills earned him a position on an elite sniper team. On this Christmas morning, as my grandson unwrapped gifts, my son was in a faraway land, fighting to preserve America’s freedom. Although he is a skilled, fearless warrior, I couldn’t help but worry about him. As I watched the beautiful scene unfolding below, I marveled at its uncanny resemblance to that Christmas long ago. If only my son were here, I thought, cherishing these moments with his son, as I did with him. In

his last letter, he hinted that he might be able to come home for the holidays, but couldn’t be certain. Corey needed help unwrapping gifts, so I went downstairs. One of them held his attention — a long, narrow box just like the one my son once opened. When I snipped the ribbons, he did exactly what my son had done – tore off the wrapping paper with eagerness and excitement. Joy filled his eyes: It was his father’s Daisy Red Ryder BB rifle. Often I had seen him slip into his father’s bedroom and stare at it with admiration, as it stood alongside other rifles in a locked gun case. He knew that, as a boy, his dad had treasured the little rifle, and had taken such good care of it that

it still looked brand new and worked as well as ever. Even though Corey was thrilled, I could still detect deep sadness in his eyes, and my heart felt heavy for him. More than anything, he wanted his dad home for Christmas … and so did I. “Look, Grandpa!” he shouted, “It’s Dad’s BB gun, and now it’s mine. I’m so happy. I just wish Dad could be here to show me how to shoot it. That would be the greatest gift of all.” As the two of us kneeled beside each other, admiring the gift, we suddenly felt a tap on our shoulders, and then we heard my son’s voice as he said, “Merry Christmas!” With tears streaming down his face, Corey threw his arms around

his father and said, “It’s Dad — the greatest gift of all.” (Oxford resident, Ole Miss alumnus, Army veteran, and retired Mississippi Delta cotton farmer Jimmy Reed (jimmycecilreedjr@ gmail.com) is a newspaper columnist, author, and college teacher.

E-cigarettes surpass regular cigarettes in teen use Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Electronic cigarettes have surpassed traditional smoking in popularity among teens, the government’s annual drug use survey finds. Even as tobacco smoking by teens dropped to new lows, use of ecigarettes reached levels that surprised researchers. The findings marked the survey’s first attempt

to measure the use of ecigarettes by people that young. Nearly 9 percent of eighth-graders said they’d used an e-cigarette in the previous month, while just 4 percent reported smoking a traditional cigarette, said the report released Tuesday by the National Institutes of Health. Use increased with age: Some 16 percent of 10th-

graders had tried an e-cigarette in the past month, and 17 percent of high school seniors. Regular smoking continued inching down, to 7 percent of 10th-graders and 14 percent of 12th-graders. “I worry that the tremendous progress that we’ve made over the last almost two decades in smoking could be reversed on us by the introduction of e-cigarettes,”

said University of Michigan professor Lloyd Johnston, who leads the annual Monitoring the Future survey of more than 41,000 students. E-cigarettes often are described as a less dangerous alternative for regular smokers who can’t or don’t want to kick the habit. The batterypowered devices produce vapor infused with potentially addictive nicotine but without the same chemicals and tar of tobacco cigarettes. The survey didn’t ask about repeat use, or whether teens were just experimenting with something new. But between 4 percent and 7 percent of students who tried e-cigarettes said they’d never smoked a tobacco cigarette, noted University of Michigan professor

Richard Miech, a study senior investigator. “They must think that e-cigarettes are fundamentally different,” he said. E-cigarettes began to appear in the U.S. in 2006 but this was the first year that the Monitoring the Future survey asked teens about them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that during 2013, 4.5 percent of high school students had tried e-cigarettes during the prior month, a tripling since 2011. The CDC reported last week that 10 states permit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. The Food and Drug Administration has proposed regulating e-cigarettes, including banning sales to minors; there is no timetable for final rules.

Jeb Bush to ‘explore’ candidacy Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jeb Bush answered the biggest question looming over the Republican Party’s next campaign for the White House on Tuesday, all but declaring his candidacy for president more than a year before the first primaries. Bush, the son and brother of Republican presidents, is the first potential candidate to step this far into the 2016 contest, and his early announcement could deeply affect the race for the GOP nomination. He is the early favorite of the GOP’s establishment wing, and his move puts immediate pressure on other establishmentminded GOP contenders to start actively competing with him for donors, campaign staff and national attention. The 61-year old former two-term governor of Florida declared on Facebook he would “actively explore the possibility of running for president of the United States.” While his statement doesn’t commit Bush to running, veterans of presidential politics described it as “a de facto announcement” that ends months of speculation about his intentions. “This is news,” said Gov. Terry Branstad of Iowa, where the first votes will be cast in January 2016 caucuses. “I didn’t expect to see this happen this quickly.” Bush’s announcement raises more clearly the possibility of a dynastic presidential contest pitting him against Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. The former first lady will be her party’s overwhelming front-runner should she decide to run. Assessing the Bush family legacy, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said, “It may well be a huge benefit or it could also be a liability.” “The question is whether people will tire of having one family in charge of things,” said Paul, himself a likely candidate. In a holiday message posted a day after an appearance in South Carolina, another early voting state, Bush said he discussed the “future of our nation” and a potential bid for the White House with family members over the Thanksgiving holiday. “In the coming months, I hope to visit with many of you and have a conversation about restoring the promise of America,” he wrote. He has long been a favorite of establishment Republicans who care less about conservative ideology than reclaiming the White House. In a race likely to include fiery conservatives such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Bush will occupy the middle ground despite his overwhelmingly conservative record as Florida’s chief executive from 1999 to 2007.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Murder, corruption, puppy mills, jail escapes, severe weather or politics -- what are the Top Ten Stories of the Year? See Staff Writer / Photographer Jebb Johnston’s story coming Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Woman should let disagreement go D E A R A B B Y : During a disagreement with my boyfriend, he Abigail called me a We Van Buren “b----.” have been together for Dear Abby 13 years, and he has never disrespected or degraded me that way before. He apologized later and said what he meant was I was acting like one (as if that’s any better), but I’m having a hard time getting past this. When he called me that, I was stunned. I felt nauseated the rest of the day, as if he had literally punched me in the stomach. Am I wrong to react this way? Am I making a big deal out

of it, and should I just accept his apology and let it go? I just feel so hurt. -- DEGRADED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR DEGRADED: People often say things they don’t mean -- or something they later regret -- in the heat of an argument. One slip of the tongue after 13 years together shouldn’t be a deal-breaker. Accept his apology and move on already. DEAR ABBY: I have a coworker who is deaf. We eat lunch together every day and usually get along well. She recently told me that when she goes out with friends, she gets drunk and then drives herself home. I tried explaining why that’s not a good idea, but she got defensive and told me she’s a grown woman and not to

lecture her because it’s her decision. I have now lost so much respect for her that I’m no longer comfortable eating with her. What should I do? -- SOBER IN SAN DIEGO DEAR SOBER: A deaf person has extra challenges while driving and has to be extra safety-conscious behind the wheel. Add booze to that equation, and it could mean disaster. You have spoken your mind and she has spoken hers. Because you’re no longer comfortable eating with her, find another luncheon companion. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know it’s love when you don’t have to do much other than be together to have a special time. The humor you share is part of what makes it great. It’s easy to be funny when you’re this comfortable. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your work will satisfy you on a deep level. Is it also satisfying to your boss, customers and colleagues? Ask about how you’re being perceived. Encourage people to tell you the truth. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be liberated in some way. You weren’t planning this, so it may feel strange to you, but trust the timing of it. Fully let go so that your arms will be free to embrace the new. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t wonder why you were dealt the hand you were dealt; you’re too busy figuring out how to play it. Today this will involve a bit of bluffing, and you have a very convincing poker face.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What you think is a loss may actually be the biggest gain you’ve had in a while. Think it through. It’s possible that short-term defeat provides just the lesson needed for a long-term victory. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What was complicated becomes super-simple. It’s all cause-and-effect. Everything you need is in your realm. All you have to do is choose. Happy choices lead to happy feelings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Accept your feelings for what they are: messages from the heart that help you understand who you are and form bonds with others. You will now have the emotional strength to face a feeling you once would have avoided. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are a lot of people around you who want the same thing that you want, so hopefully you’re ready to compete. The prize will go to the most persistent player. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21). You’d rather act than react. You have better ideas than most, and you’ll only get the chance to execute them if you take the initiative. Think ahead and align your efforts accordingly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Group efforts will be tricky. Everyone will not do the same amount of work. Graciously accept whatever contributions people are willing to give, and try to remain positive and supportive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Friends may think you are forgetful, but that’s just because they don’t understand how your complex and sophisticated mind processes things. You prioritize the most important thoughts and let the lesser details go. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Well, at least the part of the world that shares your sense of humor. As for the others, don’t waste your time. Play to the audience you know will appreciate you.

For owners of small-cap stocks, the end of 2014 canâ€™t come quickly enough. The small-cap Russell 2000 index is on pace for its first down year in three, a disappointment following jumps of 15 percent and 37 percent the last two years. The numbers look even worse when compared against the rest of the market: Small-cap stocks are on pace for their worst year relative to large-caps since 1998. The underperformance shouldnâ€™t be a big surprise. Many investors say small-cap stocks had simply gotten too expensive following their stellar run. But since hitting a bottom in mid-October, small-cap stocks have had a mini-rebound. Some fund managers see

several reasons small-caps can keep rising: â€˘ Better values Prices for small-caps are down, even though their earnings are rising. That means their price-earnings ratios look more attractive, although theyâ€™re certainly not yet cheap. â€˘ Strength at home Small-cap stocks get more of their revenue from the U.S. than large-cap stocks. Thatâ€™s an advantage because the U.S. economy is doing better than Europe and most international markets. â€˘ A buyout boost The total value of mergers and acquisitions this year is on track to be the strongest since 2007, and small-cap stocks can make for attractive targets. ... though they have had a mini-rebound in recent months.

Small-cap stocks have lagged behind the rest of the market for much of the year ... 15%

MARKET SUMMARY G

The decline can be seen in the Labor Departmentâ€™s consumer price index. Economists predict that the November index, due out today, declined 0.1 percent from the previous month.

Brave pioneers who blazed trail in NASCAR being lost to time

Muckle Family photo

Between the on-track success of Camping World Truck Series driver Darrell Wallace Jr. and the election of the late Wendell Scott to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, there’s been considerable focus lately on the role of black drivers in the history of NASCAR. Wallace, a three-time winner on the Truck circuit in 2014, is the most successful African-American driver since Scott, who was the first person of color to be a regular driver in the series now known as Sprint Cup. What hasn’t been publicized is the story of a group of pioneering black drivers who had a league of their own in Georgia even before the formation of NASCAR in 1948. Their organization was called the Atlanta Stock Car Club. From the late 1940s through the mid-1950s, the drivers raced at their home track in Lithonia, Georgia, and also at tracks across the Southeast, in cities including Chattanooga, Calhoun and Jefferson in Tennessee and Augusta and Thomaston in Georgia. Like the all-black baseball teams of that era of racial segregation, the Atlanta Stock Car Club members ran in all-black races, most of the time in front of predominately black spectators. But club members also raced at tracks where white drivers usually ran. The star drivers of the Club included the Muckle brothers, George and Ben, Richard “Red” Kines, Charlie Scott, Arthur “The Decatur Express” Avery, Robert “Juckie” Lewis, James “Suicide” Lacey and Joe Daniels. The exploits of the black racers weren’t widely publicized at the time, but they

were well-documented in the pages of the Atlanta Daily World, a newspaper for Atlanta’s black community. The paper also carried advertisements for and stories about races at predominately white tracks like Atlanta’s Peach Bowl, where the promoters welcomed black fans throughout that track’s existence. The racers got prominent play in the Daily World. A victory by Red Kines in a Sunday afternoon race at Thomaston in August of 1947 was the lead story on the next day’s sports page. The story reported that Kines, a former football star at Booker T. Washington High School and a Postal Service employee, drove a ’39 Ford known as the “Burger Special No. 1” to victory. He took the lead on the start, fought off challenges first from Calvin Williams, then Charlie Scott, to take the victory in front of 3,000 fans. His share of the prize money was $410, including his earnings from finishing second in the first qualifying race. An article in the Gainesville Times told of a race in September 1947 at Jefferson Speedway, a predominately white track, in which Otis Pruitt, driving car No. 13, was injured in a Lap 13 crash. The extent of his injuries was unknown. H. Miller and George Muckle swept the main events.

Mixed among the stories in the Daily World about Jackie Robinson and other black baseball stars of that era are recordings of Ben Muckle breaking Joe Daniels’ five-race win streak at Lithonia Speedway in 1951. There’s an account of another Lithonia race where Daniels knocked down a lamp post, sailed down an embankment, “then rolled back like a Navy jet” to wrestle the win from George Muckle. Racing historian Mike Bell from Decatur, Georgia, is among the few who know the full history of black stock-car racing. Bell, as a 17-year-old, was in the infield at Jacksonville to witness Wendell Scott’s historic win. He also has done extensive research on the Atlanta Stock Car Club. Bell said the early black drivers were plenty talented, even if their equipment often wasn’t equal to their skills. He pointed out that Atlanta Stock Car Club member Charlie Scott (no relation to Wendell Scott) rode his racing talents into the history books as the first black to compete in the series now known as Sprint Cup. In 1956, Scott drove a Chrysler owned by Carl Kiekhaefer, the dominant car owner of that era, in the sport’s biggest race of the year — on the beach-road course at Daytona. He started 19th and finished 14th in a field of 80. Scott’s teammates that day were Tim and Fonty Flock, Buck Baker and Speedy Thompson — all major stars of that era. “There are a lot of people who believed Charlie Scott was the best of the black racers,” Bell said. Despite the fast start, and the potential of drivers like the Muckle brothers and Charlie Scott, the black racing league faded away in the late 1950s after a strong 10year run. Bell believes the Supreme Court’s 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which struck down the “separate but equal” policies on schools, was a factor in the demise of racially separate racing. “That’s when it all died,” he said. And as an historian, Bell finds it unfortunate and frustrating that a group of brave pioneers blazed a trail only to see that trail lost to time. “Those guys did a heck of a lot for little recognition at the time, and they’re still not getting any recognition today,” he said. “And that’s a shame.”

run the four restrictor-plate races — two each at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway — in the team’s No. 32 Ford. Labonte essentially replaces his brother Terry Labonte, who ran those four races for the team before retiring at Talladega last fall. C&J Energy Services will continue to sponsor the car. “The people at C&J are good friends of our family, and like me, have a passion for the sport. I want to thank them, along with [team co-owners Frank Stoddard and Archie St. Hilaire] for allowing me the opportunity to take over where my brother left off,” Bobby Labonte said in a team release. The team has not announced its driver lineup for the remaining races on the schedule.

Bobby Labonte will replace his brother, Terry, in four races next season.

Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway have joined a growing list of NASCAR tracks that are removing grandstand seats that have been difficult to fill for several seasons. At Atlanta, the 17,000-seat Elliott Family Grandstand off Turn Three is being dismantled. At Charlotte, the 41,000-seat Diamond Terrace is being taken down. AMS track president Ed Clark said the changes at his track, which will reduce the total seating capacity to about 76,000, are part of an ongoing trend. “We’re just following a precedent,” he said, adding that it doesn’t make financial sense to maintain seating capacity that isn’t being fully used. “That section is 24 years old. The suite level needed to be totally renovated as well as the concession areas and restrooms. The company just made the decision to dismantle.” But Clark did express a sense of sadness at seeing the structure come down. “I was up there in the suites the other day, and I was reminded of how great a view of the track there is from up there,” he said. Clark said some of the equipment, like the backs for the seats, will be used at AMS’ sister track, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, while other parts will be used on the speedway property. He said there’s been no decision made about a new way to honor the Elliott family. “I’m sure that as much as that family means to this track, that name will show up on something else,” he said. Other tracks that have removed seats or are removing a significant number of seats include Daytona International Speedway, Dover International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, Michigan International Speedway, Auto Club Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway.

NOTEBOOK

Drivers undergo surgeries

At least two drivers are undergoing surgery in the offseason. Tony Stewart already has had one operation related to the leg he broke in a sprint car crash in 2013 and is expected to have another minor procedure. And Kyle Busch had surgery last week to relieve a recurring source of inflammation in his left foot, according to a team release.

Race fan sentenced for disorderly conduct

The Richmond (Virginia) Times Dispatch has reported that the fan who climbed the fence during the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway has been convicted of disorderly conduct and being drunk in public. James Dennis, 53, was sentenced to 12 months in jail with 11 months suspended for disorderly conduct, and fined him $100 for being drunk in public, according to the paper.

Five NASCAR executives promoted to VP level

NASCAR has promoted five of its executives to the level of vice president. Cory Posocco, who began his career doing publicity for Stafford Speedway, is now vice president, NASCAR Events Group, where he will be responsible for major events, such as the Sprint Cup Series Awards show and Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. Chad Seigler, who has worked with Nextel and the Carolina Panthers, is vice president, Team Marketing Services. His job includes working with race teams to secure sponsorships. Colin Smith, a veteran of the college sports world, is the new vice president of NASCAR Digital Media. He is responsible for distributing NASCAR content through a number of channels. Tshneka Tate, formerly of the Maryland Attorney General’s office, is vice president, Senior Assistant General Counsel, and will handle issues such as rights agreements with the sport’s broadcast partners. And David Higdon, a longtime publicist, is now vice president, Integrated Marketing Communications.

Brian Vickers to miss beginning of 2015 season due to health issues Brian Vickers, driver of the No. 55 Toyota in the Sprint Cup Series, will miss the early portion of the 2015 season because of recurring health issues. Vickers, who has missed races in previous seasons because of issues related to his heart, had surgery on his heart this past weekend. He explained his medical issues in a statement released by his Michael Waltrip Racing team. “My previous experiences have given me a very keen understanding of my body,” he said. “Late last week, I knew something wasn’t right, so I went to the hospital to be checked out. “Following several tests, it was discovered that my body was rejecting an artificial patch that was inserted in 2010 to fix a hole in my heart. Saturday, I had to have corrective surgery to repair the hole and now I am beginning the recovery process. “I will need plenty of time, rest and rehab, but this temporary setback will not stop me from pursuing my dream of becoming a NASCAR Sprint Cup champion.” Vickers, 31, is the 2003 Nationwide Series champion and has three victories and 12 poles in 316 career Sprint Cup starts. No decision had been made Monday on who will fill in for Vickers during his absence.

Gators hire MSU’s Collins as DC The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -— New Florida coach Jim McElwain made his first official hire Tuesday. McElwain named Mississippi State’s Geoff Collins his defensive coordinator. Collins replaces D.J. Durkin, who will serve as Florida’s interim head coach for the Birmingham Bowl. Collins helped turn Mississippi State into one of the nation’s top defenses. The Bulldogs rank 10th in scoring defense, allowing 19.4 points a game, and lead the country in red-zone defense. “His defenses have been

successful everywhere he has been,” McElwain said. “It was important to maintain some of the same philosophies and concepts that have made the defenses around here successful with this hire and our players will continue to progress under his direction.” Collins was a recent nominee for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. The 43-year-old Collins began his coaching career as a graduate assistant in 1993 at Western Carolina, his alma mater. He also spent time at Franklin (N.C.) High School, Albright College, Georgia

Tech, Alabama, UCF and Florida International. His big break came in 2007, when he served as Nick Saban’s director of player personnel at Alabama. That’s where he crossed paths with McElwain, who was Saban’s offensive coordinator between 2008 and 2011. Collins joined Mississippi State in 2011 as co-defensive coordinator and was in full charge of the defense the past two seasons. In his first season, the Bulldogs ranked in the top five in the Southeastern Conference in total defense, rushing defense and

passing defense. Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen said he was pleased with what Collins accomplished in Starkville while running the “psycho” defensive scheme. “Whoever the D-coordinator is here, we’re going to play that great defense,” Mullen said. Mullen also took what seemed to be a veiled shot at Collins for leaving for the same position at Florida, saying “I hope our guys have opportunities to go be head coaches more than leaving for lateral positions.

Player who had playbook stolen released The Associated Press

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets have released cornerback Josh Thomas, a day after he wrote on Twitter that his playbook and passport were stolen. The Jets also signed safety Rontez Miles from the practice squad Tuesday and signed linebacker Mario Harvey to the practice squad. Thomas made an appeal on Twitter on Monday for the items to be returned. A Jets spokesman confirmed that Thomas’ team-issued tablet — on which his playbook is stored — was stolen Sunday night in New Jersey. The Jets remotely erased the playbook information from Thomas’ tablet. It’s not clear whether the incident played any role in his departure. Thomas played in just one game after being signed in October. He was inactive for five of the eight games he was on the roster.

Grizzlies shut down Warriors’ streak The Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Marc Gasol scored 24 points, and the Memphis Grizzlies snapped the Golden State Warriors’ NBA-best 16-game winning streak with a 105-98 victory on Tuesday night. Mike Conley and Zach Randolph each scored 17 points, and Randolph also had 10 rebounds as Memphis earned its fifth straight win. Vince Carter added a season-high 16 points, and Jon Leuer had 11. The Warriors came in with the NBA’s best record at 21-2. They lost for the first time since Nov. 11 against

the Spurs, also the last team to beat Memphis. This was the first time in NBA history in which both teams had 19 or more wins in the first 24 games. Golden State star Stephen Curry missed back-to-back 3-pointers in the final 10 seconds. He had 19 points on 9-of-25 shooting, including a 1-for-10 night from beyond the arc. Klay Thompson scored 22 points for the Warriors, and Marreese Speights had 18. Harrison Barnes scored 11 points while playing with a mask to protect a broken bone in his face.

The Warriors trailed by as many as 14 and got within two twice in the fourth quarter, the last at 90-88 on an alley-oop dunk for Livingston with 5:09 to go. Memphis responded with a 7-0 run capped by two foul shots for Courtney Lee after Golden State coach Steve Kerr and Warriors guard Andre Iguodala each picked up a technical foul. Golden State closed a three-game road swing with 7-foot center Andrew Bogut sitting out a fourth straight game with a right knee injury and David Lee still out with a hamstring problem. The

Warriors countered the size difference inside with Curry and Thompson going to the basket repeatedly. They managed to tie Memphis with 50 points in the paint. Memphis’ reserves helped fuel one of the best runs in franchise history in the second quarter, with the Grizzlies scoring 20 straight points while hitting their first six shots of the period. Carter hit three of his 3-pointers in the surge, helping Memphis to a 57-49 lead at halftime. The Warriors used a 14-2 run in the fourth to get close but couldn’t finish off the comeback.

Sprint to end its NASCAR sponsorship The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sprint informed NASCAR it won’t extend title sponsorship of the top Sprint Cup Series beyond its current contract, which expires after the 2016 season. “Sprint has long benefited from the unprecedented level of brand integration available

in NASCAR, and the passionate fan base that is the most loyal in sports,” Steve Gaffney, vice president of marketing for Sprint, said in a Tuesday statement. “Without question, the NASCAR sponsorship property has been a valuable investment for us and will be for our successor.

“As we look to the future, Sprint is focused on investing in maintaining a competitive edge and providing consumers with the best value in wireless,” The wireless carrier assumed a 10-year sponsorship agreement with NASCAR when it acquired Nextel in

rectly on its core business priorities,” in ending its relationship with NASCAR. SoftBank bought out Sprint in 2013 and the change in leadership has led to a new CEO and changing marketing strategies. The announcement Tuesday gives NASCAR two seasons to find a replacement, and NASCAR chief communications officer Brett Jewkes said the series understands that significant changes within Sprint led to the decision. “The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is a very unique, premium sports marketing platform with strong momentum, so we are very confident of moving forward in 2017 with an outstanding new partner,” Jewkes said in a statement. “In the meantime, we look forward to Sprint’s partnership on the best racing series in the world for the next two seasons.” Sprint’s exit means

NASCAR will enter a new entitlement agreement for just the fourth time since 1971, when RJ Reynolds began its 33-year sponsorship of the top series through its Winston brand. RJR pulled out after the 2003 season and Nextel stepped in until Sprint’s corporate merger. Since Sprint stepped in, the wireless carrier has implemented fanfriendly innovations ranging from a new generation scanner in 2005, a mobile app in 2008 and the Miss Sprint Cup ambassador program in 2007.

contract last week worth about $1.6 million annually. McElwain wants to keep things rolling on defense. Many thought he would try to retain Durkin for continuity, but he opted to go in a different direction. “Coach Durkin will continue to coach the team through the bowl game,” McElwain said. “I have the utmost respect for his professionalism and have full confidence in his abilities to lead and coach the team.”

points and a season-best 12 rebounds inside Mississippi Delta’s J.T. Hall Coliseum. She shot 50 percent from the floor overall and added two assists, one steal and one block. The 5-10 forward returned to legendary Bonner Arnold Coliseum four days later and tallied 32 points, which was one away from tying her personal top mark, and made a career-high 11 field goals in a triumph against Snead State (Ala.) Community College. The Lady Tigers never trailed the Lady Parsons following an 8-0 run to start the contest that included a basket by Ivy. She then accounted for eight points in a span of three minutes to put Northeast ahead 57-38 at halftime. Ivy totaled 57 minutes of action last week and averaged 28 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, two steals and 0.5 blocks per matchup. She registered a combined field goal percentage of 54.1 and was 14 of 25 at the free throw line. “It’s a blessing that I can’t even describe,” Ivy said. “I had to come in

and practice hard each day just to keep it up. Coach (Alexander) gives us the plays and it’s up to us to dominate those. I think that’s what I did.” Ivy is currently among the top 10 student-athletes in the Magnolia State in the categories of points and rebounds each outing. She sits at fourth with 15.8 points and ninth at 7.4 boards. The Tupelo native had a stellar opening campaign in the City of Hospitality as well. She was named to the MACJC All-State team and notched 13.9 points and 8.6 rebounds in 23 starts for the Lady Tigers. This is the third time that Ivy has earned the MACJC’s weekly prize during her career. She most recently received this distinction after leading Northeast to wins versus reigning National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Tournament participants Southwest Mississippi Community College and Baton Rouge (La.) Community College in early November. Ivy is now eligible for laurels from the NJCAA, which announces its countrywide accolades on Wednesday.

Candelabra Cassia has bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers that are grouped together to resemble a candlestick. Its huge leaves add a tropical flair to the landscape. apply a layer of pine straw or other mulch around the base of the plant to help provide insulation. Winter can be dry, so water once a month if there has not been much rainfall. This is a good idea to follow for all of our landscape trees and shrubs in the winter. If you’re looking for a multitasking plant, choose cassia for winter and summer enjoyment.

Kitchens move outdoors with fire pits, rings and tables BY DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press

FRESH CUT TREES

Noble and Fraser Fir

Gas-operated fire pits, fire rings and fire-pit tables are emerging as modern-day substitutes for campfires. Flipping a switch to ignite the flames is a whole lot easier than kindling a stack of firewood. Safer, too. “The outdoor living trend is continuing to gain momentum,” said Ross Johnson, sales and marketing manager for The Outdoor Great Room Co. in Eagan, Minnesota. “It started with grills and then people began spending money for outdoor furniture. Fire pits have evolved, with consumers moving toward gas for less expense and a multitude of issues.” Fire pits, fire rings, and fire-ring or fire-pit tables come in all sizes and shapes, in-ground or portable. Fire pits are holes dug into the ground to keep flames from spreading. They vary from intimate cooking fires for two to elaborate, gas-fueled burners that become conversation centers for large

gatherings. Fire rings are cleared flat surfaces with protective metal, stone or concrete built around them to contain the burn. They often include cooking grills fueled by wood or gas. Fire-ring or fire-pit tables have holes in the middle for open flames to provide ambiance and warmth. The tables can be used for place settings when the burner center is capped. “Round tables are still the No. 1-selling burner, but we’re seeing more popularity with linear, even L-shaped, table-type seating,” Johnson said. “It depends upon how much room you have on the patio or deck.” Johnson advises against using fire tables for cooking. “I recommend they get a grill,” he said. “They’re easier to clean up.” Some considerations on wood vs. gas before you buy or build: ■ Wood-burning fixtures are cheaper to make and use. Wood gives off more heat. You can cook using wood. Wood is por-

table. ■ Gas is easier to light and control. Firewood is expensive and harder to find for urban dwellers. In many areas of the country, gas fires are allowed but wood fires are banned for reasons of safety, air quality and convenience. Many homeowners have moved beyond the stand-alone BBQ grill, said Travis Stark, manager of Capital Patio & The Flame Shop in Lincoln, Nebraska. “You can get outdoor dishwashers and refrigerators now — a whole outdoor kitchen,” Stark said. “Fire pits can be integrated into that.” Some homes have multiple outdoor entertainment areas, said Leisa Rogers McCollister, a spokeswoman for OW Lee Co. Inc. in Ontario, California. “Larger houses have lots of little areas, like off master bedrooms,” she said. “People furnish them with comfortable seating and fire rings.” Why outdoor kitchens? Many reasons. Their mood-setting atmosphere can be enhanced with LED lights, freestanding walls, benches and water fixtures. They can be used as gathering sites for cooking and conversing, to provide supplemental outdoor heating, to expand a home’s usable living space or to boost its resale value. “I wouldn’t use one (a fire ring or table) in a January blizzard here in Minnesota, but it can extend the outdoor season six weeks earlier in spring and six weeks later in the fall,” Johnson said. “That’s an extra three months that people can enjoy outdoors.”

Light and airy variation Do not add the cream before chilling the eggnog. After the eggnog has chilled, in a large bowl use an electric mixer to beat the cream until it forms soft peaks. Stir a quarter of the eggnog into the whipped cream, then fold the cream mixture back into the eggnog, gently but thoroughly. Ladle into cups and top each portion with freshly grated nutmeg.

White chocolate-peppermint variation

Associated Press

Looking for a new snack for your holiday party? Try (from top) marinated mozzarella with peanuts, sweet and spicy cracker bark or candied kielbasa bites.

Add 8 ounces of finely chopped white chocolate to the hot strained custard. Let the eggnog stand for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Add the cream and bourbon, then chill as directed. In a saucepan, combine 1â „4 cup sugar and 1â „4 cup water and cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar is melted. Transfer to a small shallow bowl and let cool. In a food processor, pulse 12 candy canes until they are finely crushed. Transfer a heaping tablespoon of the crushed candy canes to a small plate. Dip the rim of each glass in the sugar syrup, letting the excess drip off, then into the crushed candy canes, making sure the edge of the rim is coated well. Discard the peppermint on the plate each time and add a fresh tablespoon. Let the crushed candy canes dry on the side of the glass for 5 minutes before adding the eggnog.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I have two teenage children from a previous marriage. For the past 12 years, they have lived with their mother 90 miles away, and I have visitation every other weekend and alternate holidays, etc. I have always exercised visitation faithfully and have a good relationship with both of them. This year, my daughter has rarely come for weekend visits. She is socially active and has things to do with her friends on weekends and says she’d rather be with them. My son comes regularly. For the past few years, I’ve given my kids money for Christmas and birthdays so they can buy whatever they want. I always give them the same amount. Now I think I should give my daughter less because she is essentially cutting me (and her grandparents) out of her life. I have told her how much we miss seeing her on a regular basis, and she doesn’t seem to care. I talk to the kids regularly by phone, and they both seem to enjoy telling me about their lives and events. Their mother and I are not on speaking terms. If my daughter thinks my side of the family is not worth her time, then she shouldn’t expect to be treated the same as her brother. My parents also have been generous to my

Annie’s Mailbox children, and they agree. They are my parents’ only grandchildren. Am I wrong to give them different amounts? -- Dad Dear Dad: Please don’t. Your daughter is a teenager, and like many teens, she has an active social life that is more important to her than either parent. She isn’t trying to marginalize you or cut you off, and if you punish her this way, it will create lifelong resentment for what is a temporary problem. Consider making some changes to the visitation schedule so that her weekends are freer. Or perhaps, to make up for fewer weekends, you can have more of her vacation time. Look into activities in your area (rock concerts, etc.) that might appeal to her. Offer to let her bring a friend for a weekend once in awhile. Explain that you miss her and so do her grandparents, and ask how to make this work. She will appreciate your flexibility, and in the long run, it will

do your relationship good. Dear Annie: I have an estranged sister, and we haven’t spoken in 20 years. Family members are always concerned at weddings and funerals that there will be a “scene” if both of us are invited. I feel these events are not the time or place for family squabbles. However, at our grandmother’s funeral, I simply ignored my sister. But she insisted that she wanted a hug from me. I simply and politely told her “no.” She stormed out, crying all the way. I have nothing to do with this woman. I don’t make scenes at family gatherings and couldn’t care less if she’s there or not. So why is it that the majority of my family sees ME as the bad guy? -- Couldn’t Care Less in Idaho Dear Idaho: Because your sister enjoys giving the impression that she wants to reconcile, making you seem heartless. If you don’t care, then this shouldn’t matter to you. But we will say that after 20 years, you might want to see whether a reconciliation is possible. People can change, and being estranged from a sibling can take a toll.
