The Mississippi Department of Corrections is looking to hand over the former Community Work Center building to Alcorn County. The building at 2407 Norman Road has been vacant for some time following the agency’s shuttering of the inmate work program as it formerly existed. MDOC sent a letter Dec. 8 indicating it wants to terminate the lease on the building. Board of Supervisors Attorney Bill Davis said there actually is no lease, however. MDOC owns the building, which was conveyed by the city and county to the state in 1999. The state could convey it back, he said. The board wants to clear up the confusion with MDOC over that point before taking action. MDOC has closed several work centers across the state, taking the position that counties should no longer heavily rely on inmate labor when the eligible inmate population is shrinking under new sentencing guidelines. In other business before the Board of Supervisors this week: • Supervisors reappointed Rosemary Fisher to the Northeast Regional Library Board of Directors. • The board added this Friday to the holiday schedule for Christmas.

Legion honors veteran’s widow BY BOBBY J. SMITH bsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Members of the American Legion are sending a Christmas gift to the widow of an Air Force officer who lost his life in the Vietnam War. The story of the connection between Corinth’s American Legion Post #6 and Florida resident Nita Wilkinson, the widow of Air Force Capt. Dennis Wilkinson, began this summer, when American Legion member Bobby McDaniel was metal detecting near the Kimberly-Clark Road.
In a yard near the road, McDaniel discovered a copper bracelet about six inches underground. Upon closer inspection, McDaniel saw that the bracelet was engraved with the name of Capt. Dennis Wilkerson and the date “5-10-72.” The bracelet turned out to be one of approximately five million POW bracelets created and distributed in the years between 1970 and 1976 by a California student group called Voices in Vital America. The bracelets were

who operated the aircraft’s weapons systems — on an F-4E Phantom II fighter-bomber in the United States Air Force. Wilkinson and pilot Capt. Jeffrey L. Harris were shot down during Operation Linebacker, a campaign to slow or halt the movement of weapons and supplies to North Vietnamese forces in the spring of 1972. On the first strike day, Wilkinson and Harris were part of a force going up against heavy concentrations of surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft artillery fire and over a dozen Soviet-manufactured MiG fighter jets. Their F-4 went down with an explosive crash, but Air Force personnel found cause to believe the two airmen escaped the downed plane and became prisoners of the enemy. They were both declared Missing in Action as of May 10, 1972. Wilkerson’s remains were reclaimed by Congressman “Sonny” Montgomery’s delegation to Hanoi in 1978. The Vietnamese officials were reportedly unable to account for Wilkerson’s pilot.
When McDaniel realized what he had discovered in the yard off the Kimberly-Clark Road, the veteran began a new mission — to return the relic to a member of Wilkinson’s family. Within days McDaniel brought the bracelet to the Daily Corinthian, and the newspaper published a story on McDaniel’s find. “My hope is a family member sees this,” McDaniel told the newspaper that day. “I want someone close to him to have it.” It took only a few days for a connection to be made after the story ran in the newspaper and was shared on social media. Nita Wilkinson, the widow of the fallen airman, learned about the story when Melissa and Harrison Smith — friends of Wilkinson’s children — saw the story and sent it to her on Facebook. Nita and McDaniel soon spoke on the phone, and McDaniel made the arrangements to ship the bracelet to Nita, who now lives in Shalimar, Fla. “I waited a few months after sending it before I called her. You don’t want to push something like that,” said McDaniel.
time and it won’t cost you a dime,” she added. According to Ates, donating blood is a safe, simple and effective way to saves lives. In order to give blood, donors must be at least 16 years of age (with signed parental consent), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and have a valid photo ID. Parental consent forms can be obtained by visiting the blood service’s website. As a added convenience, donors can also check their overall cholesterol levels via their MBSConnect account.

The POW/MIA pin commemorates those who were prisoners of war or missing in action. Wilkinson is believed to have been captured when his plane was shot down during Operation Linebacker in the spring of 1972. “She said, ‘I got it, Bobby, but I couldn’t open it for about two months. I was too emotional. Not only did I lose my husband, but I lost my best friend.’” McDaniel is not a character known for getting excessively emotional. But the experience hit him hard. “I can’t tell you what a feeling it was for me to find her. There’s no way I can describe it,” he said. “There’s not any way I can tell you how heartwarming that was to me right there. I’m telling you. It tore me up bad.”
Now, with Christmas approaching, McDaniel and his fellow members of the American Legion are mailing Nita a large, snowman-shaped, homemade Christmas card containing signatures of American Legion members and a POW/MIA pin commemorating Nita’s late husband. “This is a followup after what all happened with this, sending her a little gift,” said McDaniel. “This is just to show her we love her. We don’t know her, but we love her!”

“We are going to continue to wait on December and make sure that we feel solid about making those payments,” said Younger. It is not unusual for the county to delay payments to outside agencies because of the timing of cash flow from property tax payments, and the county is just scraping by as this year comes to a close. The county expects to be up to date on all payments by February. With the good news for the agencies comes some bad for the county. The Corinth Gas & Water Department recently
notified the county that it under-charged the county for gas and sewage at the regional correctional facility by $40,511.50 — $24,040 for water service and $16,471.50 for sewer. Supervisors on Monday agreed to pay the utility a monthly installment of $3,375.96 for the next 12 months on top of the normal monthly billing. “We told them we would agree to that pending that they fixed it where this would never happen again,” said Supervisor Steve Glidewell. The issue with the water meter began in August 2015 and was apparently not discovered until July of this year by the utility.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Dec. 21, the 356th day of 2016. There are 10 days left in the year. Winter arrives at 4:44 a.m.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 21, 1891, the first basketball game is believed to have been played at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts; devised by James Naismith, “Basket Ball” involved the use of a soccer ball and two peach baskets, with nine players on each team.
On this date: In 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman concluded their “March to the Sea” as they captured Savannah, Georgia. In 1945, U.S. Army Gen. George S. Patton, 60, died in Heidelberg, Germany, 12 days after being seriously injured in a car accident. In 1968, Apollo 8 was launched on a mission to orbit the moon. In 1976, the Liberianregistered tanker Argo Merchant broke apart near Nantucket Island, off Massachusetts, almost a week after running aground, spilling 7.5 million gallons of oil into the North Atlantic. In 1988, 270 people were killed when a terrorist bomb exploded aboard a Pam Am Boeing 747 over Lockerbie, Scotland, sending wreckage crashing to the ground. In 1991, eleven of the 12 former Soviet republics proclaimed the birth of the Commonwealth of Independent States and the death of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Iuka Ground ambulance provides county coverage IUKA — North Mississippi Medical Center-Iuka is now working with North Mississippi Ground Ambulance (NMGA) to provide emergency response coverage in Tishomingo County. Like NMMC-Iuka, NMGA is part of North Mississippi Health Services. Through NMGA ambulance services in Tishomingo, Lee, Itawamba, Pontotoc, Clay and Webster counties have been consolidated into one service. “We recently made some changes in Tishomingo County’s ambulance locations in an effort to improve response times, and we will continue to monitor the progress and make adjustments on an ongoing basis,” said NMGA Director Dennis Hebner. Jerry Cummings continues to serve as the ambulance supervisor for Tishomingo County. Ambulance activity in Tishomingo County includes responses to local 911 calls and patient transfers to other hospitals, with the bulk of those to Corinth or Tupelo. The average run times for patient transfers are two to four hours, but transfers to Memphis and Jackson take considerably longer.

“Our hospitals’ staff is working closely with North Mississippi Ground Ambulance,” said NMMC-Iuka Administrator Fred Truesdale. “We’re working together to to serve our patients and community.” Three ambulances were previously stationed at the Iuka hospital. One of the changes implemented by NMGA is moving the third ambulance to different locations and measuring response times. NMGA will continue monitoring volume, run times and wait times and making adjustments for the ambulances stationed in Tishomingo County to improve ambulance response times. Ambulance service is available in Tishomingo County by calling 911.
Dumas Investigators try to identify decomposed body DUMAS (AP) — The remains of an unidentified body have been found in a wooded area of Dumas, in northern Mississippi. Tippah County sheriff’s investigator Jeremy Rainey says the remains were found Monday in some woods off a county road. Rainey says it’s unclear whether foul play was involved because of the amount of decomposition of the body. The sheriff’s department has been checking leads on missing persons as it investigates.
Hardin County Woman dies in wreck when car hits tree SAVANNAH, Tenn. — A 58-year-old Savannah woman died in an one-vehicle accident Monday morning, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Rebecca S. North died when her 2003 Toyota Avalon ran off Coffee Landing Road, based on the THP report. North’s vehicle left the east side of the highway, hit a fence, and then struck a tree. The accident happened at 4660 Coffee Landing Road in western Hardin County.
She was wearing her seat belt, and the report said drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the fatal accident.
Adamsville Industry expands, will add 140 jobs ADAMSVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd and Sparks Custom Fabrication, LLC (SCF) officials announced Tuesday that the manufacturer will expand in McNairy County. SCF will create approximately 140 jobs in Adamsville during the next five years. “SCF is a home grown success story that shows why Tennessee is the place to start and grow a business,” Haslam said. “Tennessee’s skilled workforce allows our existing businesses to thrive, especially companies like SFC that have carved out a market for the kinds of wellcrafted products that Tennessee is known for around the world. Thank you, SCF, for creating about 140 new jobs in Adamsville and bringing us another step closer to our goal of making Tennessee to No. 1 location in the Southeast for high quality jobs.” “Manufacturing plays a crucial part of McNairy County’s economy. About 40 manufacturing operations call McNairy County home and they provide jobs for roughly 1,000 residents – jobs that are among the county’s highest paying,” Boyd said. “An injection of nearly 140 new manufacturing jobs by SCF will be significant and create a considerable longterm boost for McNairy County and its citizens. On behalf of Team Tennessee, I’d like to thank SCF for deciding to double its jobs in Adamsville with this expansion.” SCF specializes in millwork, stainless steel, stone and refrigeration products used by the food industry. SCF’s customers include restaurants, schools, the military and hospitals across the country. All of SCF’s foodservice equipment is custom made, ranging from
hot and cold food bars, serving counters, stainless shelving and other products. “This expansion will provide opportunities for SCF to grow our business in the foodservice equipment industry,” SCF President Nathaniel Sparks said. “The company’s growth is a direct result of our employees’ quality and attention to detail for our customers. We thank the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development and the city of Adamsville for supporting our efforts to hire and train new employees locally with a specific skill set needed to manufacture our custommade-to-spec products.” SCF opened in Adamsville in 2013 and currently has 120 employees. SCF will add 10,000 square feet of warehouse space to its existing 100,000-squarefoot facility. The expansion and new hiring is needed to sustain the company’s existing growth into the future. “This is big news for McNairy County. SCF is a growing company and its decision to expand in Adamsville will give it an opportunity to increase production and provide even more jobs in the future,” McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks said. “We are extremely pleased SCF is expanding and look forward to working with its leadership as we strive for a better future for our citizens and the region.” “We’re excited to see Nathaniel Sparks continue growing his business,” Adamsville Mayor David Leckner said. “Sparks Custom Fabrication is a nationally known brand in the foodservice industry. The city of Adamsville is thrilled to celebrate this announcement of new jobs and the expansion of the building.” “This is very exciting news for the city of Adamsville and McNairy County. We are so happy to have partnered with the ECD Cabinet, their regional staff, the city of Adamsville and the Adamsville IDB to help make this expansion happen ...,” Eddie Crittendon, CEO of the McNairy County Economic Development Council and Chamber of Commerce, said.

Public pension fund faces test after 2 weak years JACKSON — Lawmakers, county supervisors, mayors, school superintendents and college presidents should hope that the run-up in the stock market that began after Donald Trump’s election continues. Jeff Amy Because if it doesn’t, Mississippi’s Public Employees Columnist Retirement System may be asking agencies to contribute more to make up the public pension fund’s deficit. That’s because, after two poor years of market returns, the $25 billion pension fund is no longer on track to meet its long-term goals. In fact, under PERS rules, if the fund doesn’t recover by this time next year, the board is supposed to seek higher contribution levels. “We are not funded where we should be,” Executive Director Pat Robertson said. “However, we are not in a crisis. The board has a policy in place to make sure we don’t get to a crisis.” It’s the first major test of a plan to stabilize PERS enacted in 2011. After years of changes, the plan locked in employers to paying 15.75 percent of payroll for pension contributions. PERS is supposed to use the vast majority of those contributions to chip away at its unfunded liability — the difference between what it has on hand now and how much it needs to pay current and future benefits. The idea was that by 2042, PERS could meet 80 percent of its total liabilities. But a projection report presented last week to PERS trustees shows that right now, in 2042, PERS would be only 63 percent funded. The policy of the PERS board calls for asking for larger contributions from funding agencies if that level falls below 80 percent for two years in a row. The projected funding level is falling because, in the last two budget years, PERS investments have returned 3.4 percent and 1.2 percent. Both are well below the assumption that investments will grow by 7.75 percent in the average year. Because the system’s income — contributions and investment income — are being outstripped by pension payments, total assets fell by more than $750 million in the year ended June 30. This ugly picture could be greatly improved by a good year in the stock market. Robertson said that if investments earn more than 13 percent in the current year, projections for 2042 will rebound above 80 percent and PERS won’t have to ask employers for more money. While 13 percent sounds like a lot, the fund has earned more than that in five of the last 10 years. The biggest problem is that the last decade also includes what may be the worst year on record — 2009 — when the fund lost 19 percent of its value during the worst of the recession. The smaller, separate pension fund that covers the Mississippi Highway Patrol is already at the point where trustees must ask for more money. Robertson said actuaries want the contribution rate to rise from an alreadyhigh 37 percent of payroll to 50 percent. Robertson said that’s in part because the state isn’t regularly hiring new state troopers, only holding trooper schools periodically. Thus the number of employees contributing to the Highway Patrol fund has been shrinking. Some observers have long worried that PERS would be a too-heavy burden to fund, but the politics of changing pension payouts for public employees who mostly don’t make much money has led lawmakers to shy away from changes. Robertson keeps calling for patience, likening PERS’ situation to paying down the balance on a mortgage. “It’s going to take time to get out of this,” she said. “That’s where we are.” Jeff Amy has covered politics and government for The Associated Press in Mississippi since 2011.
Prayer for today Almighty God, I pray that I may have the grace to penetrate the deep things of life and test their truth and greatness. May I have faith in thy power and train for the best which thou hast made possible for me to live. Help me to think and feel aright, that I may be thine today, and in the days of to-morrow may I still be thine, ever keeping bright memories of past days. Amen.
A verse to share “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. —Luke 1:68
Obama’s hope didn’t come with humility Former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) once said that, “Those who travel the high road of humility will not be troubled by heavy traffic.” That descriptive and funny line came to mind after I heard what first lady Michelle Obama told Oprah Winfrey last week in a TV interview. Because of Donald Trump’s election, she told the former talk show host, “We are feeling what not having hope feels like.” She couldn’t prove that by the polls. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that 59 percent of voters are “optimistic about the next four years with Donald Trump as president.” Sixtysix percent of respondents said they believed he would create jobs, 52 percent said they believe Trump’s policies will help the economy, 53 percent expressed confidence he will take the country in the right direction, and 49 percent think Trump will be either a “great” president or a “good” president. Michelle Obama’s hubris that only her husband
could provide hope, despite the unpopularity of his policies (his personal popularCal ity remains Thomas high), may be why St. Columnist Paul cautioned: “Do not think more highly of yourself than you ought.” (Romans 12:3). Pride is the first sin, which leads to all others. Anyone who puts faith in a politician to make his or her life better is worshipping a false god. Politicians can make your life worse by overtaxing your income, overregulating your business and conducting foreign policy in ways that put America’s security at risk, but the qualities that improve any life -- a good education, strong work ethic, self-control, taking responsibility for one’s actions, obeying the law, developing good character -- these are virtues over which government has little influence. Politicians promote faith
in themselves because it helps their careers and feeds their egos. When was the last time you heard a politician say only you can make your life better by the choices you make? Have you ever heard a politician say, “We are clearing the field of liberty as much as we can so that you have the best opportunity to succeed at whatever you believe your gifts qualify you for”? If politicians started talking like that people might have more faith in themselves and politicians would see their influence and power decline significantly. People hope for many things. Some people hope to win the lottery; others choose to hope in someone, or something, that can deliver. Hoping to win the lottery, or hoping a politician can improve your life, is a vain hope that can lead to disappointment. A friend of mine once observed that humility is so light a grace that once you think you have attained it, you’ve lost it. Humility is the polar opposite of what
Michelle Obama displayed to Oprah and what the president has mirrored during his eight years in office. Throughout his presidency, you might have thought the pronoun “I” was his first initial for all the times he referred to himself. The Obamas could have offered real hope, especially in the hearts of African-American children, by leading the poor among them out of failing innercity schools and giving their parents a choice of where to send them for a better education, which would have led to a better life. They rightly sent their daughters to elite private schools, rather than bad D.C. public schools, but denied that choice to those less affluent, thus perpetuating a spirit of hopelessness in those voters who had hoped for something beyond a “let’s move” exercise program and a vegetable garden on the White House lawn.

Diversity is not a magic word Nothing so epitomizes the politically correct gullibility of our times as the magic word “diversity.” The wonders of diversity are proclaimed from the media, extolled in the academy and confirmed in the august chambers of the Supreme Court of the United States. But have you ever seen one speck of hard evidence to support the lofty claims? Although diversity has become one of the leading buzzwords of our time, it has a history that goes back several generations. In the early twentieth century, the principle of geographic diversity was used to conceal bias against Jews in the admission of students to Harvard and other leading academic institutions. Because the Jewish population was concentrated in New York and other east coast communities at that time, quota limits on how many Jewish students would be admitted were concealed by saying that Harvard wanted a diverse student body, consisting of students from around the country. Therefore some highly qualified Jewish applicants could be passed over, in favor of less qualified applicants from the midwest or other regions of the country. My own first encounter with the idea of geographic

The instructions I was given were to concentrate on taking photos of students from other parts of the country, rather than from the east coast, from which Harvard already received more than enough applicants. The idea was to encourage applications from places that would produce a geographically diverse student body. It struck me as an odd idea at the time, but I was being paid to take pictures, not make university policy. Moreover, I had no idea how such a policy had originated and, by the 1950s, it might have been continued from inertia, for all I know. Meanwhile, I could enjoy seeing publicity photos I took appearing in newspapers in Chicago and elsewhere beyond the east coast. Fast forward to today. It is common, at colleges and universities across the country, for the test scores
of Asian American students who have been admitted to a given college to be higher than the test scores of whites or of blacks or Hispanics. That may not seem strange, since that is true of test scores in general. But, at any given institution, applying the same standards to all, the test scores of students at a particular institution would tend to be similar. More Asian Americans would be admitted to higher ranked colleges and universities, however, if the same standards were applied to all. In short, something very much like the quota limits that were applied to Jews in the past are now being applied to Asian Americans -- and, once again, are being justified by diversity. But what justifies diversity? Nothing but unsupported assertions, repeated endlessly, piously and loudly. Today, as in the past, diversity is essentially a fancy word for group quotas. It is one of a number of wholly subjective criteria -- such as “leadership” -- used to admit students to colleges and universities according to their group membership, rather than according to their individual qualifications. This is not something new. Nor is it something confined to the United

States. Very similar patterns were found more than a decade ago, when doing research for my book “Affirmative Action Around the World.” In India, the courts’ attempts to rein in some academic quotas were met by a proliferation of new, and wholly subjective, admissions criteria. Individuals from groups that were not as qualified by objective criteria were simply ranked higher on subjective criteria and admitted. In the United States, the Supreme Court itself has long been part of such gameplaying when it comes to affirmative action. Back in 1978, an opinion by Justice Lewis F. Powell banned racial quotas with one hand and created “diversity” as a criterion with the other. In other words, colleges were told in effect that they can have racial quotas, but they just can’t call them racial quotas. According to the Constitution, “We the People” are supposed to decide what laws and policies we live under. But not if we can be so easily fooled by courts using slippery words like “diversity.” Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

Junior Auxiliary hosts kids’ Christmas party BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
Sharing the joy of the Christmas season, Junior Auxiliary of Corinth members recently treated the youth of Pine Vale Children’s Home to a festive holiday gathering. Held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 2 at Tad’s Pizza Party, approximately 23 children gathered to make crafts, eat pizza and have their pictures taken with Santa. “This is our second year to partner with Pine Vale for our child welfare project,” said J.A. First Vice President Morgan Williams, who enjoys seeing the faces of the children light up while doing something as simple as an art project. “Having the opportunity to spend time with them has really opened our eyes and hearts to the fact that not all children in our area have families to come
home to. We try to do something fun with the kids each month to show them how much they are loved. It has been a blessing for us as well as for them.” Echoing her sentiments, J.A. Public Relations Spokeperson Sara Beth Green also expressed her appreciation for the precious time spent with the children. “We have been immensely blessed,” she agreed. “Having the opportunity to meet Santa, take pictures with him and then put them in their own hand-decorated frames brought so much joy to the kids of Pine Vale. We are so very thankful to get to be a part of their lives.” During the pizza party, the children also enjoyed Christmas cookies and party favors such as wearable reindeer ears before playing arcade games and bouncing in inflatables.

‘Bob’ delivers heart-warming holiday fun BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
“A Gift from Bob” by James Bowen c.2016, St. Martin’s Press $14.99 / 173 pages There isn’t much on your Wish List this year. Like last year, there’s nothing you need. Clothes, maybe a sweater. Gewgaws for your hobbies, perhaps, or the start of a new project. Gift cards or money, both are nice, but you mostly want to be with the ones you love. And in the book “A Gift from Bob” by James Bowen, that includes those with fur and four feet. Beep. Beep. Beep. Just hearing that noise put James Bowen in a foul mood. Those noises indicated that he was running out of pay-by-theminute electricity and gas in his London flat. That wasn’t good on any winter day, but Christmas 2010 was approaching. Bowen knew he’d have to hustle to make money, before commuters went home for the holidays. As he usually did most days, Bowen’s cat, Bob, went out with him. It had been six years since he’d found Bob lying in the hallway, injured and alone, and nursed the ginger cat back to health. Bob’s love was unconditional; he never cared that Bowen had once slept on the sidewalk and in shelters, or that Bowen had been addicted to drugs. Quickly calculating how much money he’d need to get by, Bowen grabbed his guitar, his wallet, his scarlet vest, and a pile of newspapers meant for the homeless to sell, and he headed for the nearby Tube depot. At the end of a very nonproductive

While the days to come weren’t all rosy – Bowen fell on the ice, broke his guitar, and lost a valuable gift for his best friend – he slowly began to see that life wasn’t as bleak as he thought that first beepfilled morning. Friends he knew on the street included him in an impromptu party. Old customers stopped by to say hello, and many of them left small gifts. Bowen even handed out Christmas
cards, but the true meaning of his holiday sat on a nearby box in a miniature Santa suit… Much as you love the holidays, would you admit to moments of crabbiness at this time of year? Author James Bowen has but, in “A Gift from Bob,” he tells how it all turned out purrfect. With an abundance of Christmas books on the shelves now, it may take something special to grab your attention, and Bowen’s tale of nearly living on the streets of London and being semi-homeless

seems to resonate a little stronger at a time when we’re in a giving mood. And yet, this isn’t a sympathy-wringer. Instead, inside a little grumping, there’s gratitude and hope and a bit of humor, which makes this book a holiday joy to read. Of course, cat aficionados and Bob’s fans will want this book, now out in paperback. You don’t even have to be cat-crazy to love it but there’s this: if you want a quick read with a warm holiday message, “A Gift from Bob” should be on your Wish List.

FBI sought evidence of email intrusions NEW YORK — The FBI said it needed a search warrant for thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails discovered on a computer belonging to former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner in part because agents wanted to look for evidence of “intrusions” by people trying to steal classified information, according to court documents made public Tuesday. The search warrant application, written by an agent whose name was blacked out, was filed Oct. 30, two days after FBI Director James Comey informed Congress that investigators had discovered a new trove of email correspondence that could be pertinent to an investigation he had closed over the summer into Clinton’s use of a private server to handle emails she sent and received as secretary of state. In it, agents laid out their rationale for reopening the probe. They wrote that thousands of emails between Clinton and one of her top aides, Huma Abedin, had been discovered on a Dell laptop used by Weiner, Abedin’s estranged husband.
VW deal gives buyback option SAN FRANCISCO — Volkswagen reached a $1 billion deal Tuesday that will give at least some owners of the remaining 80,000 diesel vehicles caught in the company’s emissions cheating scandal the option of a buyback and provide all of them with compensation on top of any repurchase or repairs.
The settlement with U.S. regulators and attorneys for owners of the 3-liter diesel cars will include a choice of a buyback for 20,000 vehicles, according to U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco. Volkswagen believes it can bring the other 60,000 vehicles into compliance with pollution regulations and will not offer a buyback if that’s the case, Breyer said. The German automaker also will contribute $225 million to an environmental fund to offset the cars’ excess pollution, Cynthia Giles of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said in a conference call with reporters.
Obama bans future oil leases HONOLULU — President Barack Obama on Tuesday designated the bulk of U.S.-owned waters in the Arctic Ocean and certain areas in the Atlantic Ocean as indefinitely off limits to future oil and gas leasing. The move helps put some finishing touches on Obama’s environmental legacy while also testing Presidentelect Donald Trump’s promise to unleash the nation’s untapped energy reserves. The White House announced the actions in conjunction with the government of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which also placed a moratorium on new oil and gas leasing in its Arctic waters, subject to periodic review. Obama is making use of an arcane provision in a 1953 law to ban offshore leases in the waters permanently. The statute says that “the

president of the United States may, from time to time, withdraw from disposition any of the unleased lands of the outer Continental Shelf.” Environmental groups hope the ban, despite relying on executive powers, will be difficult for future presidents to reverse. The White House said it’s confident the president’s directive will withstand legal challenge and said the language of the statute provides no authority for subsequent presidents to “unwithdraw” waters from future lease sales.
Report: Cybergang scored millions NEW YORK — A Russian criminal group is running a massive fraud that has been siphoning off millions of digital advertising dollars a day for a couple of months, a firm that specializes in detecting online-ad fraud says. The scam may have cost brands, and potentially media companies, hundreds of millions of dollars. The New York-based firm White Ops said in a Wednesday report that the “Methbot” scam made it appear that hundreds of thousands of people, mostly in the U.S., were watching real video ads from real companies on more than 6,000 fake websites that mimicked well-known publishers, including CNN, ESPN, Vogue and The New York Times. Nobody was actually watching. The criminal ring’s gains come out of the pockets of companies paying for digital ads and also, potentially, of the websites that could have hosted those ads.

Trial set for dad in baby’s hot car death GRENADA — A Mississippi man will go on trial Jan. 30 in the hot car death of his 8-month-old daughter. Joshua Blunt is charged with manslaughter. Shania Rihanna Caradine died May 19 after being found unconscious in Blunt’s car, where she was left while he worked in a Grenada restaurant. In August, grand jurors in another county declined to indict a white mother whose 2-year-old died in a hot car May 11. Blunt is African-American, and his attorney, Carlos Moore, says he believes Blunt is being treated more harshly because of his race.
Possible record set for buck killed PORT GIBSON — Mississippi officials believe a hunter may have just broken the state’s record for the largest buck killed on public land. Josh Clark first noticed signs of a large deer Dec. 12 at Canemount Wildlife Management Area in Claiborne County, he told The Clarion-Ledger. It wasn’t until two days later, though, that Clark finally spotted the animal and took his shot from a tree stand, killing the 18-point buck. One unofficial score put the deer at 205 inches, which would make it the highest gross-scoring typical on record in Mississippi. The antlers are required to dry for 60 days before the deer can be officially scored. It will need a net score higher than 184 ¾ inches to become the next state record for typical bucks harvested with a firearm.

Casino revenue dips after October rise JACKSON — Mississippi casinos saw revenue fall in November, with gamblers losing 4 percent less statewide. Figures released by the state Revenue Department show casinos won $155 million in November, down from $161 million in 2015’s same month. Gamblers lost $88 million at the 12 coastal ca-
sinos — 4 percent less than last November. It’s only the sixth decrease for coastal casinos in the last 30 months. Revenue also fell 4 percent at the 16 Mississippi River casinos, dipping to $67 million. Receipts along the river have fallen in 45 of the last 53 months.
Prosecutors: Judge should reject motion JACKSON — The government is opposing an attempt by a former Mississippi House member to withdraw his guilty plea in a prison corruption case. Federal prosecutors asked U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate on Monday to deny the move earlier this month by Cecil McCrory of Brandon to change his plea back to innocent and proceed to a jury trial. “McCrory’s blank assertion of innocence — days before his sentencing and without any factual basis — is insufficient and unconvincing,” wrote Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Case.

Canemount WMA was acquired by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks with the intent of offering hunters opportunities to kill trophy deer. Chad Dacus, MDWFP Wildlife Bureau director said Clark’s deer shows what the WMA is capable of producing. “It’s going to be one of the largest deer ever killed on public land,” Dacus said. “This is one of the reasons we wanted to purchase property like this.” As he drove home, Clark said he was still in disbelief over how big the buck was.

Alexion’s shake-up A recent leadership shake-up at biotech firm Alexion could mean more uncertainty for the rare-disease specialist while its sales practices remain under internal investigation.

called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Leerink analyst Geoffrey C. Porges had assessed the risk from the investigation as modest, but is now more concerned following the changes in leadership. “Now, with this sudden action, the stakes for ‘what might be’ seem significantly higher, with the potential catalysts for a C-suite exodus including more significant infractions or improprieties than we had previously considered,” he said in a report.

Man back in dating game must try and try again D E A R ABBY: I’m a 57-year-old male who has been thrust back into the dating scene. Abigail I’m financialsecure, in Van Buren lygood health and have a Dear Abby good career. I’m searching for someone near my age who has similar achievements in life, someone I can communicate with in and out of the bedroom. Simple request, right? What I’m realizing is that dating hasn’t changed much over the years. If one of the parties isn’t happy and decides to leave, someone gets hurt. (I have been on both sides.) I am starting to fear expressing my feelings openly and honestly, and if it eventually does come to sex, it’s creating performance anxiety. I understand this is all part of the dating ritual and called “baggage,” but for me, it’s preventing me from being honest, and I’m trying to avoid it. I see a female therapist who says I just haven’t met the right person yet, and I agree. I have a female friend in a similar situation who has become so bitter
she now avoids men completely. My male friends tell me to quit looking for a long-term commitment and just date for sex. Neither of these options appeals to me. My age-old question is: How does a person find a happy balance in this dating world? -DATING SCENE IN ARIZONA DEAR DATING SCENE: “Dating” means different things to different people. To your male friends -- as you have found out -- it means a sexual free-forall. For others, dating is a sifting process that lasts until they meet someone they’re comfortable enough with to communicate honestly. In any successful relationship, communication is key. That’s why it’s important to be honest with the women you meet, and for them to be the same way with you. That’s how people get to know each other beyond the surface, and it’s how trust is built. Chemistry is important, but it has to be mutual. You will know it when you find it. Listen to what your therapist is saying because she’s steering you in the right direction. DEAR ABBY: My son’s girlfriend of five years and her 8-year-old daughter have been living with my son for the last four
years. She has recently started introducing my husband and me as her daughter’s “grandparents.” Tonight she asked for details about my father so her daughter could include them in a paper she is writing about her “family.” The daughter’s father and his current wife had twins recently, and I understand from her mother that she is somewhat jealous. I feel uncomfortable with this new description of our relationship, although I don’t want to hurt the girl. Should I say something to my son’s girlfriend or my son? -- FAMILY DETAILS IN CALIFORNIA DEAR FAMILY DETAILS: The word from here is: Keep your lips zipped! If you object, it will cause only hard feelings. You say your son and his girlfriend have been living together for four years. If they should have a child together, do you plan to treat that child differently? Face it, you ARE in the role of a grandparent. My advice is to accept it graciously and act accordingly. 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). Unlike bears, cougars and sasquatches, humans are social animals who are best suited to spending time in groups. This is where you’ll find the greatest satisfaction today -- among a small number of kindred spirits. Enjoy! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To adopt the disguise necessary for “fitting in” is to deny the real you. So don’t worry about fitting in or not. Honor who you are and you’ll find you can get comfortable in many different situations. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Not all stress is harmful, especially if you don’t think of it as such. You can make stress work for you today. That’s what it’s there for, after all. When you hit that tense moment think: “This is happening so that I can ...” CANCER (June 22-July 22). The direct route to making friends is often, oddly, not as effective as other ways. But as you decide what else you want in your life and act on that, you’ll get human contact as a bonus
side effect. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You believe in the value of what you’re doing. Hold on to that as you go. Sometimes your action will be popular, sometimes it won’t. Don’t worry about how you’re being seen or thought of or experienced by others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Hypothetical scenarios rarely play out like real life. To get the twists, turns and thrills, you have to throw your whole self in, not just your mind and imagination. It is only through interacting with others that you’ll find out who you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Remember when you didn’t afford someone the benefit of the doubt, and you turned out to be wrong? This memory will play into today’s scenario. Anyway, now you’d rather be wrong and kind than right and unkind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In general, you just want to lighten up, and this can be accomplished in a number of ways. Take the pressure off of your to-do list. Get more help. Take breaks to visit and laugh.
It’s the practical things. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As much as you try, there are no guarantees that you can control your experience so you won’t suffer. And yet, it is often the case that when you don’t try, you don’t suffer, either. It’s more like a ride. You let go and enjoy it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s easy to point out how things could have been done better. But to initiate an action and follow through, this is the proof. You’ll show your integrity and strong character at every turn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The time for thinking about it is over. Decide. Are you willing to take the risks necessary to getting what you want? In order to get the fruit, you have to go out on the limb. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You work in the world of the mind, and you play in the world of the heart. One person brings these two worlds together for you, and that’s a beautiful relationship, certainly one to be appreciated and celebrated now.

Fury Race Cars carves out short-track success As a car chief or crew chief, Tony Eury Jr. has been a part of dozens of victories in the upper divisions of NASCAR, most of them with his cousin Dale Earnhardt Jr. doing the driving. But a few years back, Eury and his father, Tony Eury Sr., parted ways with Earnhardt. Now they’ve put their considerable talents to work building and ďŹ elding short-tracks cars. Working with one-time NASCAR driver Jeff Fultz, they operate Fury Race Cars, and they’re back in a familiar position — winning races against some of the toughest competition in America. Earlier this month, 16-year-old Christian Eckes won the Snowball Derby at 5 Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, in a car ďŹ elded by Fury with a crew led by Eury Jr. The Snowball Derby is the most prestigious race in asphalt shorttrack racing. Eury Jr., who has made numerous trips to Victory Lane at Daytona International Speedway in the XďŹ nity and Cup series, said winning it was a career highlight for him. “It’s right at the top of the list,â€? he said. “It’s the Daytona of Late Model racing.â€? Eury said that Snowball win was especially rewarding because that race is much like the Daytona 500. “You set a goal of winning the race,â€? he said. “As a company, we put a lot of effort into winning that race, and to pull it off was pretty special.â€? Eury said the victory was more meaningful to him because his father, a top-ight Sprint Cup crew chief in his NASCAR days, was there to share it with him and because it was the ďŹ rst Snowball win for Fultz, the company’s co-owner. “It was a pretty emotional deal for Jeff,â€? Eury said. “And it was good to have Pops there.â€? The Snowball Derby win was the latest in a string of triumphs for Fury Race Cars. Eury said there are approximately 125 cars built by the company competing on a regular basis — 50 of them ModiďŹ eds and 75 of them Late Models. Eury said that between Doug Coby, who races in the Northeast,

Jeff Gordon’s retirement is once again looking like anything but. After driving Dale Earnhardt’s No. 88 Chevrolet in eight Sprint Cup races this season, Gordon, who officially retired from Sprint Cup racing at the end of the 2015 season, is preparing to be one of the drivers of a Cadillac prototype sports car fielded by Wayne Taylor Racing in the Rolex 24 at Daytona on Jan. 28-29.

The Wood Brothers team, despite being NASCAR’s oldest continuously operating team, was not eligible for a charter because it was not competing full time until 2016.

David Ragan will return to Front Row Motorsports for the 2017 Cup season Sprint Cup driver David Ragan announced last week that he is returning to Front Row Motorsports for the 2017 season. Ragan, who got Front Row its first Sprint Cup win back in 2013 at Talladega Superspeedway, drove for the team from 2012 to 2014. But he left Front Row after the 2015 Daytona 500 to fill at in Joe Gibbs Racing for Kyle Busch, who was injured in a crash during the season-opening Xfinity Series race there. Ragan drove the No. 18 Toyota for nine races, then spent the rest of the season at the wheel of the No. 55 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing. David Ragan When Waltrip’s team ceased operation at the end of 2015, Ragan signed with BK Racing and drove the No. 23 Toyota during the 2016 season. For the first time in his career, he finished the year without a top-10 finish. Ragan said that even as he moved to Gibbs and the team’s powerful Toyotas, he maintained relations with Bob Jenkins, who owns Front Row, and that made the latest pairing possible. “It feels good to be back with Ford and back with Front Row,� Ragan said. “I’m happy the way it all turned out.� Ragan, who turns 31 on Dec. 24, said he’s glad to have a job in a sport where good rides are hard to get, especially for drivers who are getting older and have to compete for rides with the new talent coming along.
“I’m not 28 anymore, but I’m also not ready to scale back,� he said. “I’ve been driving Cup cars for 11 years, and it seems like it has gone by really fast.� Although Front Row’s cars aren’t usually as fast as the company name implies, they are capable of winning under the right circumstances. Ragan proved that at Talladega three years ago, using a drafting push from his then-teammate David Gilliland to score an upset win. And Chris Buescher delivered the team its second win this season with a fuel-mileage strategy at Pocono Raceway that worked in his favor when rain halted the race before he had to stop for fuel. “I think a reasonable expectation is to finish races in the top 25,� Ragan said. “Our best chances to win are at the four superspeedway races [two apiece at Daytona and Talladega], the short tracks and the road courses. They’re always wild cards.� He went on to say that once in a while, circumstances work out so that an underdog team can win with a little help from the weather or from misfortune suffered by the usual front-runners. “Somebody’s going to win those races,� he said. “I just hope we can put ourselves in position to win one.� Ragan will drive the team’s No. 38 Ford, while Landon Cassill will drive the No. 34. The team, as in the past, will have a technical alliance with Roush Fenway Racing and get its engines from Roush Yates Engines. Sponsors for the two cars and the crew chiefs for both are expected to be announced later.

Bears swept at Pine Grove BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com
Twas the Tuesday before Christmas and all thru the area, there was plenty of action on the hardwood and the field. HS Basketball • Corinth nade the short journey to Biggersville Tuesday night and swept a pair of close ones from the Lions. (G) Corinth 45 Biggersville 43 In a matchup featuring two teams that played in the state tournament last year- but are rebuilding this season- the Lady Warriors claimed a 3022 halftime lead, and it’s a good thing because the Lady Lions wiped that eight-point lead out with a 15-7 third quarter to tie things up heading into the final period. Neither team could muster as much offense over the final
eight minutes as they did earlier, but CHS did just enough to claim the two point victory over the reigning Alcorn County champs. Kristen Herman paced Corinth with 14, while Alyssa Adams chipped in eight. For Biggersville, Aunesty Dilworth led the way with 10, followed by Caynasia Barton and Zianna Taylor with nine apiece. (B) Corinth 67 Biggersville 56 These two teams always seem to bring out the best in each other and this game was no exception as the Warriors held on for a 67-56 win. CHS jumped on the Lions early and enjoyed a 19-8 advantage after one. But as they normally do, Biggersville rallied and cut the lead to 30-29 at the break. Everyone in attendance
knew this one would come down to who won the fourth quarter. The Warriors outscored BHS by six in the third, but it was still just a seven point game and they knew it. Both squad’s battled back and forth over the final eight minutes, but Corinth never relented and won the game going away. Tada Stricklen scored a game-high 21 to pace the Tribe, while Jon D Warren was close behind with 20 and Tameric Perry totalled nine. Greg Strickland had a solid game inside and led the Lions with 20. Jordan Strickland followed with 12. •Alcorn Central was hoping for a couple of presents from Santa as they traveled to play always-tough Pine Grove. (G) Pine Grove 66 Alcorn
Central 47 Lady Bear head coach Charlette Foster never pulls any punches and was short and to the point following her team’s disappointing 6647 loss. “We just had a bad night.” Enough said. The Lady Panthers led just 31-25 at the intermission, but a 23-9 third quarter sank any hopes ACHS had of rallying for what would have been an impressive comeback victory. Malory Wigginton was the only Central player in double figures, finishing with 22.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Senior Anthony Wales gained 329 yards from scrimmage and Western Kentucky earned a bowl victory for the third year in a row by beating Memphis 51-31 Tuesday night in the Boca Raton Bowl. Wales ran for a career-high 245 yards on 35 carries, added 84 yards on four catches and scored three times. Teammate Mike White
threw for 336 yards and three touchdowns. Taywan Taylor had nine catches for 144 yards and his 17th touchdown of the season. Oddsmakers had projected the game to be the highestscoring of the bowl season, and even Western Kentucky left tackle Forrest Lamp got into the act, scoring on a 9-yard razzle-dazzle run. The Hilltoppers (11-3) totaled 598 yards for interim head coach Nick Holt, who was filling in
after coach Jeff Brohm left this month to become coach at Purdue. Notre Dame offensive coordinator Mike Sanford was chosen over Holt as Brohm’s replacement next season, and attended the game. It was another successful finale for the Hilltoppers, who won the Miami Beach Bowl last year and the Bahamas Bowl in 2014. Memphis (8-5) lost in a bowl game for the second consecutive year.
The Tigers’ Riley Ferguson threw for 372 yards and four scores. He missed one series with a leg injury when a defender was blocked into him as he threw an interception.
Trickery Holt, the defensive coordinator during the regular season, oversaw some creative play calling. The Hilltoppers scored their second touchPlease see BOCA | 13A
A case for how each team can beat ’Bama The Associated Press
Everybody says they want Alabama. Then they get the Crimson Tide and reality sets in: These guys are almost impossible to beat. Alabama is in the College Football Playoff for the third straight season, the only school that can make that claim. And as good as Alabama has been through an unprecedented run of
four national titles in seven seasons, this version of the top-ranked Tide might be the best of all. The Huskies are a resurgent bunch, in contention for a national title for the first time in decades, with a coach who has a reputation for pulling off upsets. Ohio State fans have every reason to believe the Buckeyes can take down the Tide — Urban
Meyer’s team did just that in the first playoff semifinals. Deshaun Watson and the Tigers went toe-to-toe with the Tide in last season’s championship game. Coach Nick Saban’s crew of former blue-chip recruits and future NFL players is unbeaten, but are they unbeatable? A case for each of the teams in the playoff:

Confident Mularkey key part of Titans’ turnaround The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans smiled and danced on the sideline, even after botching a 2-point conversion that would have tied the game up late. The Titans just knew they would win. Credit the confidence nurtured by a head coach with his third NFL team. Mike Mularkey made it clear from the moment he
first took over in November 2015 as interim coach exactly what he expects from Tennessee, certain he could turn around a franchise known more for losing seasons and a revolving door of coaches and quarterbacks. His belief has filtered through the Titans (8-6) who are poised to go from worst in the NFL a year ago to the playoffs tied for first in the AFC South with two games
left. “He’s kind of calm, cool and collected in all situations,” quarterback Marcus Mariota said Tuesday. “He’s confident, and we really kind of feed off of that.” Being an NFL head coach again isn’t something Mularkey expected after a two-year stint in Buffalo and one season in Jacksonville left him with a record of 16-32. When the Titans fired Ken
Whisenhunt on Nov. 3, 2015 , after going 3-20, Mularkey seized the opportunity not knowing how long it would last.

He was followed by TJ Essary’s 18 and Dylan Mercer with 13. Jonah Smith finished with nine.

of Tampa ahead of the championship game. But perfection for the Huskies doesn’t mean going outside of what got them to the national semifinals, especially on the offensive side. “You don’t want to get too far away from what got you to this point,” Washington offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith said.
“At the same time you’ve got some time to put in some wrinkles or do things differently.” Quarterback Jake Browning spent most of the season avoiding mistakes and must do the same against Alabama. But his two worst games came against USC and Colorado, the two most athletic and physical defenses the Huskies faced.

down when Lamp, their 300-pound senior tackle, retreated from the line of scrimmage to take a lateral and scored for the first touchdown of his career. With 45 seconds left in the first half, the Hilltoppers lined up in the victory formation as if running out the clock. Instead Wales swept around left end for a 53yard gain, but Western Kentucky failed to capitalize, throwing an inter-
ception on the next play.
Up next This year Mike Norvell became the third coach in Memphis history to achieve a winning record in his first season, and has built a strong foundation. The Tigers open the 2017 season at home Sept. 2 against Louisiana-Monroe. Sanford makes his debut with the Hilltoppers when they open next season at home Sept. 2 against Eastern Kentucky.
TITANS CONTINUED FROM 12A
the trust of the Titans by being honest with them from the moment he took over. “With him being honest, we really believed in him and trusted what he was saying, and he just brought the team together,” Mariota said. “In a situation like that, that’s kind of what you have to do, and I thought he did a great job of that.” Linebacker Derrick Morgan said Mularkey made it very clear what he expected from the Titans, including the physical identity he wanted as the team nobody wants to play. “We understood it very clearly what was expected of us and how we were to conduct ourselves and
how we were to play,” Morgan said. “It kind of fit the personality of the team already that we had hardworking and hard-nosed guys here. To have Mularkey paired with that personnel is letting us flourish.” Mularkey has rewarded and punished as needed. The coach paid for a shaved ice truck to treat players on the field after Wednesday practices during the heat of September and into October. Mularkey also checks notebooks to ensure rookies and veterans alike are paying attention in meetings, and he calls out players by name when talking with reporters when wanting more from someone.

No. 6 UK and No. 10 Louisville top billing The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Kentucky played North Carolina in arguably the best college basketball game of the season, a thriller that may not be topped again until March Madness hits. The sixth-ranked Wildcats don’t get much time to enjoy it. Next up is No. 10 Louisville on Wednesday, a rivalry game that had their attention right after the buzzer sounded in Las Vegas on Saturday. “Now we’ve got another war in three or four days after we traveled half a country away to go back home and play Louisville on the road,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. Kentucky (10-1) has one loss, to No. 2 UCLA, and blew out everyone else it played, so Calipari wanted a close game for his young team. It certainly got it against North Carolina . The Tar Heels have the length and athleticism to match the Wildcats, and the teams put on quite a show along The Strip, trading highlight-reel plays. Kentucky’s Malik Monk scored a Kentucky freshman-record 47 points and hit a late
3-pointer to propel the Wildcats to the 103-100 victory. The win moved Kentucky up a spot to No. 6 in the latest AP Top 25 . Now the Wildcats get the 50th meeting with their biggest rival. Louisville (10-1) had a hard time shaking Grand Canyon on Dec. 3 but has won its past three games in blowouts and has one of the nation’s best defenses. The Cardinals lead the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency, allowing 87.8 points per 100 possessions, and held Wichita State to 17 points in the first half earlier this season. Louisville-Kentucky games are always intense, and last year’s game was won by the Wildcats 7573 to give Coach Cal his 200th career victory. “We’re going to run with them, but we have to take good shots,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. “Hopefully it’s good enough to beat them. They are a great transition team.” Louisville’s schedule doesn’t get much easier after Wednesday. The Cardinals play No. 12 Virginia on Dec. 28, No. 16 Indiana three days later, then at No. 25 Notre
Dame on Jan. 4.
Carolina rivals That Bluegrass battle isn’t the only rivalry game this week. Also on Wednesday, No. 22 South Carolina hosts Clemson in a 9 p.m. EST game. The Gamecocks (91) dropped six spots in the poll after losing to Seton Hall at Madison Square Garden but bounced back with an 11-point win over South Florida . Clemson (8-2) has rallied from losing two of its first four games — to Xavier and Oklahoma — with six straight wins, including 67-54 over Alabama on Sunday. South Carolina leading scorer Sindarius Thornwell has been suspended indefinitely for violating athletic department policy, so the Tigers could have a shot on the road.
Light slate The holiday week is light on big-time matchups and front-loaded with games, with no Top25 teams playing on the weekend. Kentucky-Louisville is the only game between ranked teams and many of the teams in the Top
25 are expected to have blowouts against smaller schools. A handful of games could be close, at least for a little while. Those include No. 18 Arizona, which is shorthanded, against New Mexico on Tuesday and No. 8 North Carolina against Northern Iowa on Wednesday.
Watch list A few teams that could make a move into the poll with wins this week: Florida. The Gators (83) had a rough week two weeks ago, losing to Duke and Florida State, but again received votes this week after blowing out Charlotte . They play Little Rock on Wednesday. Virginia Tech. The Hokies (9-1) have three wins over Power-5 teams and their only loss was close to Texas A&M. They received more votes last week and could find themselves ranked with a win over Charleston Southern on Tuesday. Maryland. The Terps (11-1) have wins over Georgetown, Richmond and Oklahoma State and may be back in the rankings with a win over Charlotte on Tuesday.

Having plants such as these Carneval begonias indoors during the winter adds beauty and a sense of charm and serenity.Â
Herb plants make excellent gifts, as they can add beauty to indoor dĂŠcor and good flavors to holiday meals.Â
Tips to help keep gift plants going Since the Christmas holiday season started last month, gardenGary ers across Bachman M i s s i s sippi have Southern been givGardening ing and receiving plants as gifts: poinsettias, begonias, cactuses and cyclamens -- oh my! Oh my, indeed. Having plants inside during the winter adds beauty and a sense of charm and serenity. Herb plants also should be included as a gift choice, as they add good flavors to holiday meals. But after the holidays, I get a lot of questions on how to keep the gorgeous gifts healthy and looking good despite being cooped up indoors through the winter months. The answer really comes down to just two considerations: light and water. Light and water are the two factors even the most experienced home gardeners have to contend with to keep their gift plants happy and healthy. Let’s start by shedding some light on the matter

of light. First, not all light is equal. As I’m writing this column, the fluorescent lights in my oďŹƒce are bright, and my light meter reads 150 footcandles (an archaic measurement, but one that is useful for this example). Outside my window, it’s bright and sunny, and the light meter reads 5,000 foot-candles. Most of the gift plants growing now in our homes need more light. We can meet their needs by putting them on tables or sills close to windows. But which window is best? East-facing windows receive morning sun and remain cool during the day, while north-facing window don’t get any direct light at all. Northfacing windows are good locations for Christmas cactuses, pothoses and cyclamens. South and west windows receive the most light and heat during the winter.

ing the winter. The overwatering dilemma is related to indoor light intensity. At lower light levels, our indoor plants do not grow as vigorously as they do outdoors, so they don’t need as much water. Even when you think the plants are getting too dry, stick your finger into the potting mix to check on the moisture content. It takes a just little practice. When you do water, take the plants to the sink, and water the container until it starts dripping out of the bottom. One last thought about watering is that you can reduce the amount of plant food used in the winter to about half the usual rate of water-soluble fertilizer every month. I hope these tips help to head o some of the common problems we have keeping holiday gift plants alive, along with all our other indoor plants. Follow these tips until the promised warmer spring weather arrives and we can put those plants outside on our porches and patios.

quire daily maintenance. In addition to supplying the tree with water at least once per day, live Christmas tree owners can take these steps to prolong the life of their trees. • Avoid placing the tree near heaters or drafty windows. Many people know that placing a live tree near a potentially hot heating vent poses a fire hazard. But doing so also can dry out the tree, decreasing the chances it will make it through the season. Placing the tree near drafty windows also can dry out the tree, so try to find a spot in your home with a consistent temperature. • Water the tree often. You may notice the water in the tree stand disappears quickly when you first bring the tree home. That’s because freshly cut trees will consume more water than trees that were cut several weeks ago. As the season goes on and the tree’s vascular system begins to clog, you might not need to water the tree as much as you did when you first brought it home. But check the tree’s water stand twice per day when you first bring it home, refilling the stand with water whenever necessary.

Lighten up! Crisp Vietnamese shrimp salad a respite from holiday indulgences BY KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press
This is the time of year when food writers start lamenting about how much ZHœYH DOO LQGXOJHG :H R̆HU up lighter recipes as a way to make amends for our fourth-quarter behavior. Mea culpa, and pass the EUDQ ÀDNHV I’d rather think about all those ingredients that don’t make it into traditional American holiday fare, which is so often dominated by meat, potatoes, cream and pie (somehow a food group of its own). In a non-ascetic way, let’s turn the spotlight on ingredients WKDW VSDUNOH LQ ÀDYRU DQG happen to be healthful at the same time. Asian food has always excelled in this area, and lately I’ve been drawn to Vietnamese cooking, with its bright clean essence. Ingredients like fresh mint and cilantro, lemongrass, lime, ginger, and the
SXQJHQW EXW FOHDQVLQJ ¿VK sauce, made from fermented anchovies (stay with me!) that gives a bracing lift to any dish. You can buy lemongrass DQG ¿VK VDXFH DW ZHOO stocked supermarkets, Asian stores and specialty markets, and you can order it online. There are also jarred versions of lemongrass — just add a tablespoon of lemongrass paste to the dressing below and skip the step where the fresh minced lemongrass would have been added to the cooking water. If the word julienne causes you to shrug, know that it just means cut into matchsticks. Feel free to shred the vegetables if that’s more happy-making. There’s no reason to gnaw on a celery stick all January. Just grab some shrimp, herbs and some vibrant Asian ingredients, and march into the New Year with a spring in your step.
Vietnamese Shrimp Salad Serves 6 to 8 Start to finish: 2 hours 30 minutes 2 tablespoons finely minced lemongrass 2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 pounds peeled and deveined extra large shrimp 2 tablespoons minced shallots 2 teaspoons minced garlic 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons fish sauce 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped mint leaves 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro 10 ounces Boston, Bibb or butter lettuce leaves, torn into big pieces 1/2 seedless cucumber, thinly sliced 2 large carrots, peeled and shredded or julienned 1 cup slivered scallions, white and green parts 1/4 cup crushed salted peanuts (optional)
Fill a large pot about 3/4 full with water, and add the lemongrass and salt. Bring the water to a boil, add shrimp, and simmer for about 4 minutes, until the shrimp are just cooked. Drain the shrimp and lemongrass and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. While you are waiting for the water to boil, FRPELQH WKH VKDOORWV JDUOLF OLPH MXLFH ÂżVK VDXFH mint and cilantro in a large bowl or container. After you have rinsed the shrimp and lemongrass in the strainer, shake to remove any excess water and add them to the dressing. Toss so the shrimp are fully coated with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 24. To serve, arrange lettuce in a shallow serving dish. Then scatter over it most of the cucumber, carrots, and half the scallions. Distribute the shrimp with its dressing over the top, then scatter over it the other half of the slivered scallions, and the handful of carrots and cucumbers remaining. Top with the peanuts if desired. Serve cool. Associated Press

Prosciutto and Melon Canape

When it comes to planning party menus, we often think the most special dishes are the most complicated ones, with exotic and expensive ingredients. But often, it’s the classic recipes that rely RQ IDPLOLDU ÀDYRUV WKDW \RXU guests will remember. Food trends are cyclical, DQG ULJKW QRZ WR WKH EHQH¿W of party hosts and chefs, diners are craving unfussy recipes that rely on the quality of its ingredients. This party classic for prosciutto and melon canapes are a quickand-easy small bite that will shine on your holiday table. A canape is a small, oneor-two bite hors d’oeuvre, usually consisting of a piece of bread or cracker topped with, well, anything. They are great for parties, since they DUH QRW WRR ¿OOLQJ DQG HDV\ WR eat when one hand is occupied by a glass of champagne. And for the host, they are a breeze to make during the busy holiday season.
Start to finish: 25 minutes, Servings: 30 8 very thin slices prosciutto (about 5 ounces) 30 (11/2 -inch-diamater) round white bread canapÊ bases, toasted 5 ounces mascarpone cheese, or as needed 30 pieces cantaloupe, cut into medium dice, or scooped into 1/2 -inch balls Garnish: 30 mint leaves )ROG WKH SURVFLXWWR WR ¿W WKH FDQDSH EDVHV To assemble the canapes, spread the canapÊ with some of the mascarpone cheese and top with a piece of prosciutto.

Prosciutto and melon are a classic combination. A slice
of prosciutto adds a savory twist and a satisfying texture. We like to spread our soft white bread canape base with a little bit of mascarpone cheese before topping it, but you could even use a soft goat cheese or an herbed spreadable fresh cheese. 7KLV FDQDSH UHOLHV RQ ÀDYRU
from the melon. Look for melons with a thick, pronounced netting on the exterior of the skin, and it should be tan. Green skin means the melon was picked too early. If you like a theme party, you can make canapes to match any idea, without spending all week in the

Ex is hanging around, causing problems WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES
Dear Annie: I have a brainteaser for you. My husband and I have been married for nearly 11 years. He was divorced from his first wife about 15 years ago; they had no children. His family has welcomed me with open arms. However, his ex-wife continues to stay in touch with family members. They even visit her and host her at their homes. Never has she been invited to family gatherings, and no one talks about her in front of me, but I still find out about it. My husband has made clear to these family members that this is awkward and not healthy for the exwife, but they persist. I have two concerns. One, it feels as if someone is lurking in the shadows, and two, it seems odd that she has not moved on after so many years. I gave up connection to some lovely people when my ex-boyfriend and I split up, because it felt like the right thing to do for both of us. What’s your take on this situation? — Scratching My Head in NH Dear Scratching: It’s bizarre that she’s still hovering around, 15 years later. By now, she ought to have buzzed off and found her own hive. When you say goodbye to a partner, you say goodbye to his family, too.
Dear Annie (If there were children involved, it would be different.) But clearly, some of your in-laws are encouraging her. So that raises the question: Who? Is it just one person? A sister who always got along well with this woman and connected with her as a friend? If that’s the case, try to let the friendship remain and just ask that they continue to meet only at times other than family functions. If several of your inlaws are doing this, it’s time for your husband to step up. He needs to make abundantly clear that their maintaining such a close relationship with his ex-wife is not just awkward but also hurtful. Dear Annie: I want to address “Sleepless in Anywhere, USA,” “Sick and Hurt” and others who are hurt by spousal affairs. There are various reasons committed and loving spouses have affairs. I was married to a loyal husband, but our marriage was scarred with emotional abuse that went
unaddressed despite my continued pleas for dealing with it. Instead of being cherished, I was made to feel worthless. From what I could determine, he suffers from emotional injuries inflicted during his childhood. He built an emotional barrier around himself. He refused to go to counseling; I went on my own, with mixed results. I didn’t want to get divorced, so I tried other means to get through the situation. In the end, I had an affair. We are near the end of divorce proceedings. I am saddened by the whole story, and much of what is important to me has to be left behind. So, for those loyal partners who find their spouse in an affair, please step outside yourself and look at the whole picture. How could better communication and self-honesty improve your relationship? Are there past harms — which have nothing to do with a current relationship — hurting the present? If you have chosen to share your life with another, then really share life — the good and bad. A loving spouse wants to help carry the burden, heal and move past these destructive ills. I did — though here in the end, I’m the “evil gal who had an affair,” while the other side of the story remains a secret. — Made to Move On

MRHC hosts successful Winter Wonderland BY BOBBY J. SMITH bsmith@dailycorinthian.com
It was a Winter Wonderland to remember. Event organizers from Magnolia Regional Health Center say this year’s Winter Wonderland at Crossroads Arena was one of the biggest ever. “It was great. We had a huge crowd,” said Tracy Moore, executive director or the Magnolia Foundation. “Last year we estimated about 3,500 people came from 10 a.m .to 2 p.m., and we expect it will be more this year because of the Merry Market.” The new Merry Market was a 35-vendor marketplace set up on the north concourse of the arena offering a variety of items in time for Christmas shopping. Both events were held on Saturday, Dec. 10. Hosting Winter Wonderland is one way MRHC gives backs to the community each year, providing a Christmas
spectacular featuring complimentary photos with Santa, rides on the Magnolia Express Train, letters to Santa, Elf Exercise Park, arts and crafts at Santa’s Workshop, games and snakes. Winter Wonderland has become a Christmas tradition for many in the area. Corinth resident Nancy Braddock brought her grandchildren, Bentley, Jade and Taylorn Gray. “We just love it,” said Braddock. “I bring them here every year.” The event provided a lot of fun for MRHC employees as well. “We’re really having a great time,” said Magnolia employee LeeAnn Holloway, who was enjoying the festivities with her co-worker Lydia Carper and Carper’s son, 5-month-old Lealon Carper. With its popular silent auction oh holiday decorations, trees and wreaths, the event also serves as a fundraiser for

Simple gift ideas to help find the perfect gift for senior citizens Every holiday shopper ends up with at least one loved one on their shopping list who they can’t seem to find anything for. Some people seem to have it all, while others may be less than forthcoming with regard to items they may need or want. Many seniors tend to fall into the latter category. Shopping for holiday gifts for seniors can be difficult if shoppers don’t know what seniors want. But the following are a handful of gift ideas that might make this holiday season that much more
special for seniors.
65 and over had read an e-book in the previous 12 months.
Books A 2015 survey from the Pew Research Center found that 69 percent of adults age 65 and over acknowledged reading at least one book in the previous 12 months. That makes books a good bet for shoppers who don’t know what to get their 65-and-over loved ones this holiday season. But shoppers might want to opt for more traditional print books rather than e-books, as the survey found that only 15 percent of readers age
Gym membership According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, more than 80 percent of adults do not meet the guidelines for aerobic and musclestrengthening activities. That can be especially troubling for seniors, who are at greater risk for osteoporosis, a medical condition in which age-related tissue loss contributes to brittle, fragile bones. Physical activity, including muscle-strength-
ening activities like weight training, can help combat osteoporosis. Family members stuck on what to get aging loved ones may want to consider gifting a membership to a local gym. Many gyms offer heavily discounted memberships to seniors, and such gyms may even offer senior fitness classes at no additional cost.
Travel gifts Many retirees love to travel, but not every senior has the means to take off for parts unknown. A 2013 survey from the Transamerica Center
for Retirement Studies® found that 25 percent of retirees admitted they wished they would have saved more for retirement travel. Holiday shoppers can light up seniors’ smiles by gifting travel gifts this holiday season. One idea is to transfer airline miles to an elderly loved one so he or she can get a free or discounted flight. If that’s not a possibility, some new luggage or a Global Hotel CardTM sponsored by Orbitz®, a gift card that can be redeemed at 70,000 hotels across the globe, is sure to

Family time Shoppers who are especially stuck on what to get seniors for Christmas can just resolve to spend more time with their elderly loved ones. Many seniors genuinely have everything they need, and such men and women may only want to spend more time with their children and grandchildren. Make a New Year’s resolution to spend more time with the special seniors in your life if the perfect gift is eluding you.
