KHS baseball squad pitches in, gives back

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Dressed in maroon and white, the young members of Kossuth High School’s state championship baseball team gave hundreds of busy shoppers some holiday cheer on Saturday.

Members of the team could be seen ringing the Salvation Army golden bell and wishing folks a Merry Christmas outside Wal-Mart’s front entrance in Corinth. The 21-member team took turns in 30-minute shifts,

while Coach Trave Hopkins watched from the sidelines.

“We do a lot of baseball and working out, but this gives us a chance to get out in the community and raise money for something other than baseball,” said Hopkins. “We want to help the community that helps us. We wouldn’t be able to do a lot of things we do if it wasn’t for the support we get from the community.”

Hopkins said he helped start the tradition one year ago.

“This is our second year doing this the Saturday before Christmas,” he said. “I hope to be able to keep doing it with the team every year.”

The second consecutive Class 3A State Baseball Champions understand the importance of helping the community.

“It makes us feel better about ourselves -- we’re doing something that will help a lot of people in the community,” said

Fallen soldiers were honored Saturday at the Corinth National Cemetery.

American Legion Post 6 paid tribute to veterans who have lost their lives with the annual Wreaths Across America project.

“Every year I am more in awe at the heartfelt response,” said American Legion Ladies Auxiliary President and Wreath Coordinator Carlean Parker.

“There is no measure of anything which can be done to compensate the debt owed to our soldiers.”

The ceremony to lay wreaths included the Ladies Auxiliary, Sons of American Legion and Legion Riders.

“We had a good turnout with 367 wreaths placed,” said Park-

er. “We were blessed with good weather and eager people to help.”

The wreaths were a traditional live green with a red bow.

Cost was $15 per wreath with each sponsorship tax deductible.

“Saturday was an opportunity to place a small token of thanks on the grave of a soldier,” said Parker. “By placing a wreath you are not just buying one, you are showing respect and honor, and most of all showing we will never forget the sacrifices made by the person lying in the grave.”

Parker is asking individuals to pray for veterans and their families during the holidays.

sophomore Ethan Burcham. “I think us being out here helps people give more. We’re nice to everybody and we wish them a merry Christmas, and almost everyone who passes will find something to give.”

Burcham said he loves

ringing the bell.

“It’s not annoying, especially when I’m the one ringing it,” he said.

Junior Charlie Bonee agrees ringing the bell is the best part.

“It’s better than standing there with my hands in my pocket,” Bonee said.

“Making people smile is pretty nice, too. It’s all fun

and we’re helping the less fortunate, which is the best part.”

Saturday’s Salvation Army volunteering wasn’t the only volunteering the team did this year.

The team rallied Kossuth townsfolk to gather supplies to deliver to Louisville following a deadly tornado in late spring.

The Aggies played the Wildcats in the second round of the state playoffs the day after the tornado hit.

“These kids are talented on the field, but they have good hearts off the field,” added Hopkins. “It brings a smile to my face when they get as excited as I am about giving back.”

Sons of Confederate Veterans were among the groups taking part in Wreaths Across America.

SCV camp honors ‘Real Grandson’

Today in History

Corinth native Harvey J. Cartwright was recently honored as a “Real Grandson” of the Civil War by the Colonel William P. Rogers Sons of Confederate Camp.

Cartwright, who is employed at Medical Plaza Pharmacy in Corinth, became the camp’s fourth recipient of the national award, which is only given to grandsons of Confederate soldiers.

The first “Real Grandson” award was authorized by the National Sons of Confederate Reunion in 2012. Since then 89 awards have been granted across the country, 14 of which are from Mississippi. The Corinth camp leads all camps in nation with the honoring of four “Real Grandsons.”

Harvey Cartwright is

Today is Tuesday, Dec. 23, the 357th day of 2014.

Today’s Highlight On Dec. 23, 1954, the first successful human kidney transplant took place at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston as a surgical team led by Dr. Joseph Murray removed a kidney from 23-year-old Ronald Herrick and implanted it in Herrick’s twin brother, Richard, who was dying of chronic nephritis.

(Because the donor and recipient were identical twins, tissue rejection was not an issue. Richard Herrick lived until 1962; Ronald Herrick died in 2010.)

On this date In 1788, Maryland passed an act to cede an area “not exceeding ten miles square” for the seat of the national government; about two-thirds of the area became the District of Columbia.

In 1823, the poem “Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas” was published anonymously in the Troy (N.Y.) Sentinel; the verse, more popularly known as “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” was later attributed to Clement C. Moore.

In 1893, the Engelbert Humperdinck opera “Haensel und Gretel” was first performed, in Weimar, Germany.

In 1913, the Federal Reserve System was created as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act. In 1928, the National Broadcasting Company set up a permanent, coast-to-coast network.

In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt restored the civil rights of about 1,500 people who’d been jailed for opposing the (First) World War. In 1986, the experimental airplane Voyager, piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, completed the first non-stop, nonrefueled round-the-world flight as it returned safely to Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Mississippi fought mainly in northern Mississippi from 1863-1865. The unit eventually became part of General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s command.

After the war Pvt. Cartwright returned to Corinth and, as did so many returning Confederate soldiers, helped rebuild a devastated South.

Harvey Cartwright’s father, Willie J. Cartwright, who answered the “Last Roll Call’ in 2010, was one of the last two “Real Sons” in the state of Mississippi.

“We are pleased with how things turned out,” said event organizer Vince Overholt of the 14 games played over two days at Corinth High School. “The Lighthouse made enough to bridge the gap and that gap was huge.”

Supporters of the Lighthouse Foundation came up with the idea of the classic to offset the organization’s general operating budget.

“The classic did a shade better than last year,” said Overholt.

“Friday was incredible

with the gym filled most of the day.”

Saturday’s schedule got off to a slow start due to the Egg Bowl and great weather, according to Overholt.

“We knew going into it there would be the possibility of a ton of people choosing to attend the Egg Bowl,” he said.

“Things picked up during the night and we did fine.”

Attendance “was comparable” to last year’s total, according to the event organizer. Last year, around 5,500 took in the two days of action.

“Our goal is to always learn from what we are

doing to make the classic better,” said Overholt. “We will continue to learn and tweak.”

Overholt has already started the planning process for the 3rd Annual Lighthouse Classic.

“I don’t think a single team who played this year doesn’t want to come back next year,” he said.

One team which will be back is Bolton (Tenn.) and its point guard, Jaylen Fisher. Fisher, the 29th rated best junior by ESPN, has offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Connecticut, Florida, Memphis, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss, Ten-

nessee and USC. “Everyone loved him,” said Overholt. “The classic will be better next year because we are bringing in more talent.”

Sports Illustrated mentioned the Lighthouse Classic in its Faces in the Crowd segment of the Dec. 15 edition. Callaway’s Malik Newman, who bagged 27 points versus Miller Grove in the classic, was among the six faces highlighted.

“We had incredible coverage,” said Overholt.

“People are still putting things out there and the classic was a month ago.”

The coverage also draws attention to what

the Lighthouse Foundation is all about.

“It helps get the Lighthouse name out there,” said Overholt. “I really believe folks stepped up and wanted to be part of the Lighthouse this year.”

Community businesses also benefited from the event. Overholt said “230 hotel rooms were booked” due to the tournament. The total was up from the 200 booked in 2013.

“This is good for the community,” said Overholt. “We like seeing everyone come together in the community to work for a common goal.”

Welcome The Good News Everyone likes good news - if we have health problems, family traveling afar, our children, in school, promotion in the job market, the list goes on. Good news cheers one up. We should want to share the good news with one another.

The best of the good news is the story of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible, it is the greatest story ever told. The gospel is God’s good news. The basic message is that Christ died for our sins, that he was buried, and rose again the third day. (1 Cor. 15:1-4). God’s word, the gospel of salvation, the truth of Christ, the obedient ones are freed from sin, the lost are reconciled to God and to put the obedient faithful believers into eternal life. The gospel is a happy, joyful, and righteous message from our heavenly father to all mankind. The gospel, when obeyed, brings new life to the sinner, being born of the water and the Spirit. (John 3:5), Obedience to the Gospel - the good news of Christ - makes man free from sin and fear.

The Bible - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Rom. 8:1) That is good news, Christ teaching, when obeyed, brings frustrated lives to a new life, and God is rich in mercy.

That is good news. Christ is God’s mercy and righteousness. Obedient faith in the Son of God will change our life. We should not neglect or reject such a great salvation. The Bible. “If you love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).

The Bible - “Faith comes by hearing the word of God” (Rom. 1:16) “Without faith - in Christ - it is impossible to please Him that is Christ.” (Heb. 11:6). We accept Christ teaching by faith, one must repent in order to change how we live- acknowledge Jesus Christ by confessing His precious name. Baptism is for the forgiveness of sin - thus one changes the relationship to Christ. Read Acts 8:29-40 to understand. My friends, that is good news.

The good news continues. The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation. It is God’s truth - it is Christ’s way to reconcile sinners unto God. It is righteousness. Why is this true? The good news gospel directs all men to Christ and they will be faithful servants.

What are we learning? Man should want to obey the good news of Christ. Will you? The good news is the Bible. Read on.

Remembering what Christmas is all about

BY WYATT EMMERICH The Northside-Sun

Every Christmas I manage to find a perfect moment when time stands still and the beauty and purpose of life comes shining through with clarity and calm.

That Sunday morning, Covenant Presbyterian featured two of my favorite Christmas hymns, “Angels We Have Heard on High” and “Joy to the World.”

I always am a bit paranoid singing in church. I am a baritone, caught between tenor and bass. If I sing bass, I hardly make a peep. If I sing tenor, I have to strain to hit the high notes. Filled with the Christmas spirit, I belted it out.

Now it was Sunday night and Ginny was intently focused on decorating the tree. The Christmas music was playing on the stereo.

As Ginny climbed up and down the ladder and twisted around to hang decorations, I realized how blessed I am to still be attracted to my wife after all these years. She still looks great in jeans!

As I gazed at her activity, she stopped to smile at me momentarily and quickly continued on her task. The tree must get done!

Sipping a glass of wine, my gaze fell to the bookshelf, covered with dozens of framed photos chronicling our lives together. These photos have been there for years but they hadn’t penetrated my consciousness in forever.

Inspired by the Christmas spirit, I stood up and walked to the bookshelf. It was as though I was seeing each of these photos for the first time. The photo of one of our first dates. The baby photo of our first child being held by his beautiful mother. The whole family on the beach when all three children were still young. It all seemed like a beautiful miracle instead of the tedious slog of life.

Ah, yes, I realized. I was having a perfect moment. They are hard to come by, but when they happen, everything makes perfect sense.

Time marches on and nothing stays the same. The children are growing up. Gone are the days of Santa laying out a display for gleeful eyes at dawn. Instead, the family will gather after our Christmas dinner and unwrap our gifts from one to another. Wonderful, but different.

Gone are my perfect father and my precious mother. For many years, they made sure I got all those precious Christmas memories. Now they are memories. I miss them so terribly.

For many of us, this heightened awareness of loss makes Christmas bittersweet.

When we feel this way, we must remember what Christmas is all about – the greatest gift of all, the promise that all that has been lost will be made new and better than ever. The promise that we will one day be reunited with those we have loved and lost.

This is not a promise of some vague formless reunification with cosmic infinity. It is a promise of the resurrection of our bodies. As they were, but perfected. I am thankful God gave me 12 perfect crosses from 12 drops of lamb’s blood on my napkin this Easter brunch at River Hills. Little miracles like that keep me focused on the reality of his resurrection and the promise of ours.

As Jesus told us: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.

I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Christmas no longer about the presents STARKVILLE — I remember so well the unbearable anticipation of Christmas Eve with my sisters Sharon and Sheila in the little teacher’s home across from the Beulah-Hubbard school in rural Newton County a half-century ago.

Sheila, my twin, shared my suffering. Sharon, who was older and wiser, was able to put up a more mature front. But we all lay awake late into the night, listening for sleigh bells, reindeer hooves and wondering how Santa actually got into a house that didn’t have a chimney.

The rituals were observed. We helped decorate the cedar tree that our father cut in the woods and brought home. Most of the decorations were homemade and the lights were colorful, large and hot.

Momma carefully selected a plate and glass for us to leave cookies and milk for Santa.

There were photos made of the children by the tree in our pajamas. We sang Christmas carols, loudly, and engaged in other diversions that Momma created to help us pass the time.

My father would make the announcement that it

later had in broadcast journalism were born in my ability to speed-read the first 20 verses of the second chapter of the Book of Luke without discernible errors.

When the carnage of torn paper and bent ribbons was over, there was a big breakfast and then off to our grandparents’ home to spend time with aunts, uncles and cousins. The feast, and it was a feast, would be enjoyed down to Mamaw Salter’s last custard pie.

I remember it all – and in my heart of hearts, I miss those days in ways I can’t readily describe.

Mom and Dad, all my grandparents, most of my aunts and uncles and some of my cousins are all gone now. My wife and I are now the grandparents and the destination of four beautiful grandchildren who ponder the wonder of Santa Claus and greater joys of Christmas. They so enjoy being together.

My older sister and I will have some time together with our grown children.

Our sister Sheila left our circle in 2006 and her absence has forever changed Christmas for me. But her daughters will be with me and what a gift that will be.

I remember watching my father open his presents back in the 1960s. Another bottle of Old Spice, another necktie, another white dress shirt. He feigned surprise and delight, but there was a touch of boredom in his manner. He was more concerned with watching us open our presents and asked us earnestly if we were happy.

We were – which I think was his greatest gift on Christmas. When he died, I remember finding in his closet enough bottles of Old Spice to float a battleship and boxes of unworn shirts and ties.

All that makes sense to me now, as I have reached the age that it’s no longer the presents that matter on Christmas, but the presence of loved ones young and old mean all the world to me.

Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, I wish you peace and joy during this season. May your Christmas presences be everything you want and need.

Bad geese suit heads back to Jackson County

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, I pray that thou wilt reverse my standards of life if I may be striving only for selfish gain. May I care for all that I could be, and may I care for where I should be found, but, most of all, may I care for what I really am. Help me to keep my mind on thee that I may find delight in doing thy will.

Amen.

was time to go to bed – and always intoned that if we didn’t hurry up and get to Sid Salter sleep that Santa might Columnist not come because he would pass our house and find us awake.

So off to bed we went.

I fought against sleep – wanting so badly to hear or see something, anything, that would reward my faith in Santa. But I never could stay awake long enough.

Once, when I was six, I could have sworn I heard something large and foreign on the roof – but the next morning there was no evidence of that.

Some hours later, usually about 4 a.m., I would awaken, run to awaken my sisters, then together we’d inspect what Santa had left behind. My parents would join us after Momma put on a pot of coffee.

Our parents had a rule that presents weren’t opened in our home until the scriptures sharing the story of the birth of Christ were read aloud by one of us. I think whatever skills I

BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Capitol Dome

JACKSON — A south Mississippi goose owner has been ordered back to court to defend herself against a fellow gardener who was hurt while trying to escape an angry gaggle.

The Mississippi Supreme Court recently ruled that the gardener who fell and got hurt, Janet Olier, didn’t have a premises liability case but might have grounds to pursue a dangerous-propensity question. The state court sent the case back to a Jackson County judge to sort out.

Mississippi’s premises liability law applies to slipand-fall lawsuits and other claims against landowners.

It also assumes that a business or homeowner has a duty to provide “a reasonably safe environment.”

Dangerous propensity generally refers to whether Donna Bailey knew her geese had anger issues and whether she was liable for the Olier’s injuries. Dog bites are an example of this kind of case.

A Jackson County judge said he couldn’t find that the geese had been aggressive in the past, so he threw out Olier’s lawsuit, which sought $200,000 in damages.

Olier was visiting Bailey to see some plants. Court records say Bailey had a “Beware-Attack Geese” sign in her yard. Bailey kept several five-gallon buckets of water in the yard lined along the edge of the porch to provide the geese drinking water and keep the birds off the porch.

As Olier stepped over the buckets, a goose squawked at her. Olier said the large goose stretched out its neck as if it meant to bite her.

She stepped back onto the porch, within the safe confines of the bucket-fence, and told Bailey she could not go out into the yard because of the geese.

Bailey said the geese would not bite if the two women walked together, and she offered Olier a bamboo pole to fend them off. When the two women entered the yard, Bailey attempted to

lead the geese away. However, the geese saw Olier and approached her, squawking and hissing, according to court records. Frightened and thinking that the bamboo pole was useless, Olier threw it to the ground. At this point, a goose nipped her. Olier turned to run, tripped over a bucket and fell, breaking her arm.

Bailey argued the goose that attacked Olier had never bitten or chased anyone before. Olier argued that Bailey had provided a bamboo pole to her for the explicit purpose of fending off the geese, and that meant Bailey knew they were aggressive.

Justice Jim Kitchens said there was no evidence that the particular goose had bitten anyone before. A different, older goose had once chased a police officer out of the Bailey’s yard, Kitchens said.

Kitchens said Bailey saw the geese being aggressive toward Olier so she armed her visitor, trained her to defend herself and volunteered to act as a diversion-

ary decoy.

“Whether a pack of dogs, a herd of rodeo cattle, a swarm of honey bees, or a gaggle of geese — when analyzing the behavior of any grouping of nonhuman creatures with a dangerous propensity collectively, it is unnecessary and counterintuitive to analyze the individualized history of each and every creature in the unit. This has been a truth accepted by mankind since we drew on cave walls,” Kitchens wrote.

“We fear not the wolf, but the pack; not the bee, but the swarm; not the buffalo, but the herd. Janet Olier feared not the goose, but the gaggle,” he wrote. “The bamboo stick was provided for her defense against all of the geese, not just one. Bailey attempted to distract all of the geese, not just one. A jury could find that, under the totality of the circumstances, this incident could have been foreseeable to Bailey.”

North Korea Internet goes ‘totally down’ WASHINGTON — North Korea experienced sweeping and progressively worse Internet outages extending into Monday, with one computer expert saying the country’s online access is “totally down.” The White House and the State Department declined to say whether the U.S. government was responsible.

President Barack Obama said Friday the U.S. government expected to respond to the hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., which he described as an expensive act of “cyber vandalism” that he blamed on North Korea. Obama did not say how the U.S. might respond, and it was not immediately clear if the Internet connectivity problems represented the retribution. The U.S. government regards its offensive cyber operations as highly classified.

“We aren’t going to discuss, you know, publicly operational details about the possible response options or comment on those kind of reports in anyway except to say that as we implement our responses, some will be seen, some may not be seen,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said.

North Korea has forcefully denied it was responsible for hacking into Sony.

Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research, a company that studies Internet connectivity, said the problems were discovered over the weekend and grew progressively worse to the point that “North Korea’s totally down.”

“They have left the global Internet and they are gone until they come back,” he said.

FAA, industry launch drone safety program WASHINGTON — Alarmed by increasing encounters between small drones and manned aircraft, drone industry officials said Monday they are teaming up with the government and model aircraft hobbyists to launch a safety campaign.

The campaign includes a website — www.knowbeforeyoufly. com — which advises both recreational and commercial drone operators of FAA regulations and how to fly their unmanned aircraft safely.

The campaign was announced by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International and the Small UAV Coalition, both

industry trade groups, and the Academy of Model Aeronautics, which represents model aircraft hobbyists, in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration.

The two industry trade groups also said they plan to distribute safety pamphlets at industry events, and are working with drone manufacturers to see that safety information is enclosed inside the package of new drones.

Retailers say small drones, which are indistinguishable from today’s more sophisticated model aircraft, are flying off the shelves this Christmas.

“In just a few days, kids old and young will unwrap presents, and many of them — maybe tens of thousands — will have unmanned aircraft,” Michael Toscano, president of the unmanned vehicle association, said in a conference call with reporters.

“This technology is very accessible and in very high demand, but information on how to fly safety isn’t readily available. That’s why we’ve created this safety campaign.”

The FAA is concerned that amateurs are using the drones in a reckless manner, increasing the likelihood of a collision that could bring down a plane or rain debris down on people. The agency has been receiving about 25 reports per month this year of drones sighted flying near manned aircraft or airports, up from just a handful of reports two years ago.

Judge questions immigration plan WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Monday appeared deeply skeptical of an Arizona sheriff’s lawsuit seeking to halt President Barack Obama’s plan to spare nearly 5 million people from deportation.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell questioned whether Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio had legal standing to challenge the immigration program announced last month. She suggested

Daily Corinthian • 5

Across the State

the topic is better left for Congress and the Obama administration to sort out.

In the first courtroom battle over Obama’s plan, Arpaio’s lawyer Larry Klayman said the president violated the Constitution by doing an end-run around Congress. He argued that the program would let more illegal immigrants enter the country and commit crimes, burdening law enforcement.

“It’s not policy, he’s creating law and he cannot do that under the U.S. Constitution,” Klayman said of Obama.

But Justice Department lawyer Kathleen Hartnett said Arpaio’s lawsuit seemed to be raising a “political dispute” rather than a legal claim the court could address. The Obama administration has called the case “speculative and unsubstantiated” and has urged the court to dismiss it.

Howell at times seemed exasperated with Klayman, a longtime conservative activist who has filed hundreds of lawsuits against the federal government, including challenges to Obama’s U.S. citizenship.

French company to pay $772 million WASHINGTON — A French power and transportation company has agreed to pay $772 million in penalties to resolve allegations that it bribed high-ranking government officials in multiple foreign countries for lucrative projects, the Justice Department said Monday.

Federal prosecutors said Alstom SA falsified its books and paid tens of millions of dollars in bribes for help in obtaining more than $4 billion in projects in countries including Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the Bahamas. The bribes were often funneled through middlemen who the company hired as consultants and referred to in internal documents by code names such as “Mr. Geneva” and “Mr. Paris,” officials said.

Revenue falls on river casino weakness JACKSON — Mississippi casino revenue fell in November, as continued weakness at casinos along the Mississippi River outweighed gains on the Gulf Coast.

State Department of Revenue figures show casinos statewide won $156 million from gamblers in November, down 5 percent from $164 million in November 2013.

The 12 coastal casinos won $82.8 million, up less than 1 percent from November 2013.

The 17 river casinos won $73.1 million, down 10 percent from November 2013.

It’s the 25th month out of 29 that casinos have won less from gamblers compared to the previous year.

Lee County deputy struck by vehicle MOOREVILLE — A Lee County sheriff’s deputy is being treated for injuries after being struck by a vehicle.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol responded to the scene around 11 p.m. Saturday.

A spokesman tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal deputies were conducting a roadside safety checkpoint on Highway 371 near Mooreville, when a vehicle driven by 45-yearold Audonus D. Taylor, of Fulton, struck one of the deputies after failing to stop for officers at the checkpoint.

The deputy, who was not named, was taken to North Mississippi Medi-

cal Center with moderate injuries.

Taylor, who was uninjured, was arrested and charged with DUI.

Meadville mayor seeks Sojourner seat MEADVILLE — Meadville Mayor Lane Reed plans to run for the state Senate seat currently held by fellow Republican Melanie Sojourner of Natchez.

Reed, a 44-year-old lawyer became mayor last year, winning his first political race. In his Monday announcement, he’s calling for more cooperation with state leaders and local governments in the district.

Senate district 37 includes all of Franklin and parts of Adams, Amite and Pike counties.

Dealers: Oyster time isn’t sailing smoothly PASS CHRISTIAN — Seafood dealers say you can’t beat the view at the new Pass Christian

Harbor, but business is off to a rocky start.

Seafood dealer Darlene Kimball tells The Sun Herald the process for an oysterman to transfer his catch from water to land can take up to five times as long as is it did at the old harbor, because oysterchecking protocol still has to be performed at the old harbor location.

Before the move, Kimball, who owns Kimball’s Seafood, said she would have oysters paid for and off the boat within five to 10 minutes of boats coming in from the reefs.

“Sometimes it takes 30 to 40 minutes before I get oysters off a boat,” Kimball said.

Although dealers were relocated to the new harbor, the Department of Marine Resources oyster check station is still in the old harbor. The $1 million Col. George J. Wright Sr. building was built in 2012. DMR moved in October, said spokeswoman Melissa Scallan.

State certifies school referendum for 2015 ballot

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Voters in November 2015 will decide a referendum to write a funding guarantee for “an adequate and efficient system of free public schools” into Mississippi’s constitution.

Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said Friday that of 121,691 signatures supporters submitted in October, 116,570 are of valid, regis-

tered voters. That’s 9,000 more than the 107,216 required statewide.

What’s called initiative 42 aims to prevent lawmakers from underfunding public schools, after a seven-year period in which Mississippi has fallen $1.53 billion short of the amount mandated by its school funding formula.

“It was hard work, but everybody knew that requiring the Legislature

Deaths James E. ‘Ed’ Butler, Jr.

POCAHONTAS, Tenn. — A celebration of life for James E. “Ed” Butler, Jr., 83, formerly of Whiting, Ind. is set for for 1 p.m. Wednesday at Magnolia Funeral Home Chapel of Memories.

Mr. Butler passed away Monday, December 22, 2014 at his home of natural causes. He will be cremated of his own wishes.

Born August 3, 1931, he was a U.S. Army Veteran Paratrooper during the Korean Conflict. He retired from Republic Steel with 32 years of service.

He was a 32nd degree Mason with over 50 years of membership and was also in the Loyal Order of The Moose. Ed was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Jean Butler; a son, James Butler (Julie) of Whiting, Ind.; two daughters, Sherry Pacheco (Ray) of Hobart, Ind. and Tina Atteberry (Russell) of Whiting, Ind.; eight grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; special sisters-in-law, Shirley Lane and Betty Lambert; and special brother-in-law, John Lane.

He will be missed by his devoted canine companion “Sonny.”

He was preceded in death by his parents, James Edward Butler, Sr. and Bertha Barnes Butler.

Visitation is from 12:30 p.m. until service time Wednesday.

TISHOMINGO — Virgie Anthony, 85, died Sunday, December 21, 2014 at her home.

Arrangements are incomplete and will be announced by Patterson Memorial Chapel.

A private family service for infant Master Jackson Daniel Grace of Corinth will be held.

The 12-day infant, born December 9, 2014, died

Sunday, December 21, 2014 at Memphis Regional Medical Center.

Survivors include parents, Cory and Amy Thompson Grace of Corinth; grandparents, Cheryl Grace of Corinth and Larry Joe and Kay Thompson of Ripley; and a sister, Kaylea Grace of Corinth.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Jimmy Grace.

McBride Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Obituary Policy The Daily Corinthian include the following information in obituaries: The name, age, city of residence of the deceased; when, where and manner of death of the deceased; time and location of funeral service; name of officiant; time and location of visitation; time and location of memorial services; biographical information can include date of birth, education, place of employment/occupation, military service and church membership; survivors can include spouse, children, parents, grandparents, siblings (step included), and grandchildren, great-grandchildren can be listed by number only; preceded in death can include spouse, children, parents, grandparents, siblings (step included), grandchildren; great-grandchildren can be listed by number only.

No other information will be included in the obituary.

Obituaries will only be accepted from funeral homes.

All obituaries must contain a signature of the family member making the funeral arrangements.

follow its own law to fully fund K-12 education is crucial to our state’s economic future,” said Patsy Brumfield, a spokeswoman for Better Schools Better Jobs, a group that coordinated signaturegathering.

To gain adoption, the initiative must win a majority of total votes cast for the issue and at least 40 percent of total votes cast in the election.

Lawmakers can pro-

pose an alternative version. If they do so, both the original language and the Legislature’s language would appear. Voters can choose one or the other, or reject both.

Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, both Republicans, have expressed opposition, saying that the amendment could wrongly transfer spending power from the Legislature to judges, because people could sue to

enforce the referendum.

Referendum supporters say their approach is a better way to solve school underfunding than a lawsuit spearheaded by former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove. That suit aims to recover past underfunding and prevent future shortfalls, while the referendum only aims at the future.

The fight over alternative language could be one of the defining issues

of the 2015 Legislature.

Better Schools Better Jobs, which has raised $1.35 million and spent $1.17 million so far this year to support the plan, is already trying to push lawmakers away from alternatives. Sunday, the group took out a full-page ad in The Sun Herald newspaper urging voters to contact their lawmakers and urge them to vote against a “phony alternative.”

Man in ’64 civil-rights deaths won’t confess, soften views

BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press

PARCHMAN — Craggy-faced and ornery, Edgar Ray Killen bears the signs of his 89 years. His hands are still scarred and rough from decades in the east Mississippi sawmills. He has a muscular build even as he maneuvers in his wheelchair. Time has not softened his views and he remains an ardent segregationist.

And he steadfastly refuses to discuss the “Freedom Summer” slayings of three civilrights workers, which sparked national outrage, helped spur passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and landed him behind bars.

Killen was interviewed

by The Associated Press inside the Mississippi State Penitentiary, where he is serving a 60-year sentence; it was his first interview since his conviction on state charges of manslaughter in 2005, 41 years to the day after James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were killed and buried in a red clay dam. An earlier trial in 1967, on federal charges, resulted in a mistrial.

Killen wouldn’t say much about the 1964 killings. He said he remains a segregationist who does not believe in race equality but contends he bears no ill will toward blacks.

The three civil-rights workers — black Mississippian Chaney and white New Yorkers Schwerner and Goodman — were investigating the burning of a black church outside Philadelphia when they were stopped on an accusation of speeding and held for hours in the Neshoba County jail. Witnesses testified that Killen rounded up carloads of Klansmen to intercept the three men upon their release and helped arrange for a bulldozer to hide the bodies.

The bodies were found 44 days later, buried miles away in a red-clay

“I could have beat that thing if I’d had the mental ability.”

Ray Killen Serving 60-year sentence in connection with civil-rights slayings dam.

In his four-hour interview with the AP, Killen is talkative but his mind wanders, a problem he attributes to brain damage from a logging accident a few months before his trial. He says he has never and will never talk about the events that became immortalized in the film “Mississippi Burning.”

Killen first contacted an AP reporter 18 months ago.

In his first letter on March 3, 2013, he made clear that no conversation with a reporter would result in a confession.

“That is not where I am coming from after 50 years of silence,” Killen wrote. “I have never discussed the 1964 case with anyone — an attorney, the FBI, local law nor friend — and those who say so are lying.”

Since then, both he and the AP filed repeated requests to have a reporter added to his visitation list. The Mississippi Department of Corrections, citing a policy of not allowing media to see inmates, denied at least a dozen requests. The agency abruptly agreed this month.

Visitors are not allowed to bring pens, pencils or paper into the prison.

Killen often leans in because he has trouble hearing and cups a hand to his left ear in the direction of guests sitting farther away.

He speaks of associations with hundreds of people during his life — from political figures to friends and neighbors.

Killen is talkative about corruption in the Mississippi prison system,

his good times and close relationship with the late Sen. James O. Eastland and his preaching at a tiny Baptist church in east Mississippi from which he got the nickname “Preacher.”

But his wife said no friends visit or write her husband.

“They don’t come; they don’t ask about him,” Betty Jo said as she left the visitors’ center at the prison.

Killen said people at Parchman were well aware of his identity before he arrived.

“Oh yes. They knew who I was,” he said.

Killen said he had some run-ins with black prisoners and had received threats but nothing ever came from them.

He won’t talk about his well-known association with the Ku Klux Klan as an organizer. He does say he knew some people in the KKK. A question about what he thought of the testimony of friends at his trial drew his anger.

“Friends?

What friends? You talking about Winstead?”

Mike Winstead testified that he was 10 years old and sitting on his grandfather’s porch one Sunday in 1967 listening to Killen and his grandfather talk.

“My grandfather asked him, did he have anything to do with those boys being killed,” said Winstead, who was serving a 30-year sentence for rape. “He told my grandfather yes, and he was proud of it.”

Killen said he didn’t know Winstead, and never visited the house.

“I think I would remember if I did that,” Killen said.

Chaney’s sister, the Rev. Julia Chaney Moss of Willingboro, New Jersey, said she was not surprised Killen wouldn’t talk about the slayings.

“I can only wish Mr. Killen peace at this juncture in his life. ... If he can achieve a modicum of peace, I wish that for him,” Chaney said.

Killen’s first trial on federal conspiracy charges was held in 1967, but the all-white jury could not reach a verdict. One juror said she could not convict a preacher. Of the seven who were convicted, none served more than six years.

Because many of those who testified in 1967 were no longer available, prosecutors got permission to have others read transcripts of the earlier testimony into the new court record.

A convergence of factors led to a new trial in 2005. There was a new district attorney and Mississippi attorney general, persistent media coverage and advocacy groups urging a closer look.

In the 2005 trial, Attorney General Jim Hood acknowledged that Killen did not shoot the men himself, but said Killen’s role as organizer made him just as guilty as those who fired the guns.

Testimony read in court showed Killen ordered fellow Klansmen to attack Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman and then went to a funeral home to create an alibi for himself.

James Jordan, a Klansman who has since died, testified for the prosecution in 1967 that Killen showed the killers where the men were jailed and where to wait to hunt them down once they were released. As carloads of Klansmen drove off to intercept the three doomed men, Jordan said, they let Killen off at a funeral home.

“He said he had to go there because if anything happened, he would be the first one questioned,” Jordan said.

Killen’s only response today to any of that was his often repeated contention that he is not a criminal convict but a political prisoner.

One thing of which he is certain: “I could have beat that thing if I’d had the mental ability,” Killen said, tapping his bald head.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From wild, wooly then peaceful, happy Wild, R, *****, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern. Director Jean-Marc Vallee. Fox Searchlight Pictures. Length 115 minutes.

This is an adventure for Cheryl (Witherspoon) along with trying to heal her mental issues. Cheryl was very close to her mother Bobbi (Laura Dern) and when Bobbi died of cancer, Cheryl was devastated and lost.

Cheryl was not close to her father, because he was mean to Cheryl and Bobbi. It is obvious Cheryl has issues. However, her mother was upbeat and kept the family together after her husband left.

Some individuals make it a point to be hurtful. This poster has been hanging up in my house

for sometime now.

I think people will understand this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;People Terry will forBurns get what you said, Movie Critic people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.â&#x20AC;? -- Unknown author It was a very sad situation, as the audience witnesses the hard times the family had to deal with throughout childhood.

When Bobbi dies after a bout with cancer, Cheryl begins to realize she has to get her life under control. The story does not leave out the fact Cheryl

used drugs, was promiscuous, and was on a trail that could lead her to a short life.

Fortunately, Bobbi decides to take the Pacific Crest Trail in place of a trail in the Den of Iniquity.

She hopes this experience will help her find a way to deal with her mistakes.

Cheryl has a brother, but they have their issues after their mother died.

Cheryl begins her journey across 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Since she does not have a background of hiking and living in the wilderness, the trail becomes very harsh. Cheryl is a determined young lady, and she learns how to persevere.

Along the trail we see flashbacks of her life.

Many of these moments are sad while others demonstrate the love and kindness her mother gave to her two children. Bobbi was a kind mother, and she taught her two children the right road. But as some of us stray, her children were capable of taking the long way home as some of us have done.

If individuals do the right thing, they can find their way home. I remember a story about an individual who was married, and he decided to take a journey to find himself. Yet, he took another woman with him. Maybe she was his scout?

Cheryl considered giving up several times, especially when she encounters a rattlesnake and a couple of human

rattlesnakes. For the most part, the people she meets on the trail are individuals that mean no harm to her.

Cheryl is a free spirit.

After her adventures growing up, she takes on the Pacific Crest Trail. She meets nice people and not so nice people. She matures as her belief in life and love along with the beautiful country gives her happiness. The adventurous situations and the time to remember the good moments she spent with her mother bring peace and kindness for her.

She loved her mother very much, and she depended on her advice.

Now she can look back and know her mother taught her how to live be-

fore and after she passed away. After all, parents know how to be sure we do the right thing even if we go down the wrong road of iniquity.

Cherylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was a sweet, kind, gentle and a caring person. It becomes obvious Cheryl will find her way. There are things parents teach us that will stay with us forever.

Cheryl found it. She has written a book. The name of the book is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild.â&#x20AC;?

If the review is interesting, and the movie appears to be something worth watching, go see it.

I highly recommend this movie for a human interest story.

Jolie returns to role of filmmaker with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Unbrokenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project

BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In a life that has been notable for its many metamorphoses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; screen starlet, Goth vixen, United Nations ambassador, mother of six, breast cancer awareness advocate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Angelina Jolieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest incarnation is as filmmaker.

Rarely has an actor, particularly of Jolieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stature, so fully given over to the other side of the camera. On Thursday, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll release her second directorial effort, the inspirational World War II survival tale â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbroken,â&#x20AC;? which follows her Bosnian War drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Land of Blood and Honey.â&#x20AC;?

She has already shot her next movie (an intimate marriage drama in which she also co-stars with her husband, Brad Pitt), and made plans for her fourth film, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Africa,â&#x20AC;? about elephant poaching.

Meanwhile, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtually disappeared from the screen, starring in only one live-action film (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ma-

leficentâ&#x20AC;?) in the last four years.

The transformation is complete, even if the new title gives her some hesitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shy to call myself a director still. When someone says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What do you do for a living?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve earned that,â&#x20AC;? Jolie said in a pair of recent interviews, one in a Manhattan hotel, the other by phone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do love directing. I much prefer it to acting.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admittedly unlikely that Jolie is beset by queries about her occupation (â&#x20AC;?And this Mr. Pitt, is he in show business as well?â&#x20AC;?). But if there were any doubt, the scope of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbrokenâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a classical epic that spans war and sea, a prestige picture with major below-theline talent, a Christmas Day release amid awards season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; certainly makes clear Jolieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you would have said to me a few years ago, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What kind of film are you looking for?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I would have

never said a film with shark attacks and bombing raids and the Olympics,â&#x20AC;? says Jolie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have picked something very intimate and character driven. But I fell in love with this story.â&#x20AC;?

The story is of Louis Zamperini, who before enlisting in the Air Force to fight in World War II was a track star who ran in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. During the war, his B-24 bomber crashed in the Pacific. He and two crewmates survived on a raft at sea for 47 days, only to be captured by the Japanese and put into a brutal prisoner-of-war camp.

Zamperiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible life was chronicled in a 2010 best-seller by Laura Hillenbrand, though his tale had been kicking around in Hollywood since 1956, when Universal Pictures bought the rights to Zamperiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir with plans for Tony Curtis to star in the film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it was a hot property, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had

a chance, to be honest,â&#x20AC;? says Jolie, who had to convince Universal that she could handle a much larger project than the independent â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Land of Blood and Honey.â&#x20AC;? But she was deeply moved by the script (later to be rewritten by the Coen brothers) and Hillenbrandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that I believed I was the most skilled director,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was that I just really, really cared.â&#x20AC;?

Colleagues of Jolieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bear that out, calling the film a deeply personal one for the 39-year-old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know as much about the technical aspects of filmmaking as some people like Joel and Ethan (Coen) do, but she learns very quickly and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so passionate about it all,â&#x20AC;? says cinematography Roger Deakins, the Coensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; usual director of photography, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also slated to shoot â&#x20AC;&#x153;Africa.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spent a lot of time in prep and a lot of time considering what we

wanted from a sequence,â&#x20AC;? says Deakins, who said a touchstone for Jolie was Sidney Lumetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hill.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But on the day, on the set, it was a very instinctive way of working, which I found quite stimulating.â&#x20AC;?

The young British actor Jack Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, who plays Zamperini, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred choice, but Jolie fought for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Undoubtedly, in terms of the movie industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective on it, there were certain boxes that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been ticked,â&#x20AC;? says Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a credit to Angelina. She just wanted the best actors for the roles and wanted to make the best movie possible, as opposed to entertaining business agendas.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbrokenâ&#x20AC;? has put Jolie into the awards season mix, though the film was conspicuously absent from the Golden Globes nominations. But the most important response from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbrokenâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which Jolie calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;the

hardest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done creativelyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was Zamperini.

Before he died in July at age 97, he and Jolie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who lived just around the corner from each other in Los Angeles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; became close friends. Jolie screened the film for Zamperini on his deathbed, and she vividly recalls â&#x20AC;&#x153;those beautiful blue eyesâ&#x20AC;? seeing his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story, revisiting memories and family Zamperini knew, she says, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d soon be reunited with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate when I signed on to do it what an impact this man would have on my life and how much this story and the messages would hit home with me and my family and change me,â&#x20AC;? says Jolie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did change me. He had a huge impact on me. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow up with a dad in the house and my grandparents passed away when I was young. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how much I needed that older, wiser compassionate friend to help give me that guidance and support.â&#x20AC;?

Young immigrants line up to apply for driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses in Arizona Associated Press

PHOENIX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Young immigrants protected from deportation under an Obama administration policy began applying Monday for Arizona driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses after a judge barred the state from denying the privilege.

People lined up early at a Motor Vehicle Division office in Phoenix and cheered when the doors opened.

They said they were

excited about getting a chance to drive legally.

Some said they had been driving to their jobs without licenses and feared being pulled over.

Jose Cazares, 21, said it will be a relief to get a license. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be peace of mind knowing that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m legally allowed to drive now, not having to watch over my back and think of, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh am I going to get pulled over and get a tick-

et, get my car towed, and how am I going to get to work the next day,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Cazares said.

Ramon Maldonado, 19, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels pretty nice knowing that I finally have the piece of paper that I have been waiting for for over two years,â&#x20AC;?

Maldonado said as he emerged from a Motor Vehicle Division office with a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license.

Jose Alberto Aguilar, a

Mexico City native who was brought to the U.S. by his parents as a child, waited at a Motor Vehicle Division office in Tucson.

The 23-year-old civil engineer rides the bus to work each day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great because it allows me to get a car and be safer too,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Aguilar says he was hired as a civil engineer after an internship made possible when he acquired a Social Security

number through the 2012 Obama administration program that he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;really opened a lot of doors for me.â&#x20AC;?

State officials expect the rush of applicants to continue in the weeks ahead since about 20,000 immigrants could be eligible for licenses.

The preliminary injunction issued Thursday

by U.S. District Judge David Campbell bars the state from enforcing the

driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license policy of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer.

Young immigrants have said the policy made it difficult or impossible for them to get essential things done in their everyday lives, such as going to school, work or the store.

Brewer moved to deny the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses after the Obama administration took steps to shield thousands of immigrants from deportation.

Acquisition update?

Eye on the economy

Walgreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest financial results could provide insight into its expectations for takeover target Alliance Boots.

The drug store chain, due to report fiscal first-quarter earnings today, is buying the European health and beauty retailer in a deal that shareholders are scheduled to vote on later this month.

Investors also will be listening for an update on how Walgreen is managing the impact of lower prescription reimbursements and rising prices for generic drugs.

Economists anticipate that the U.S. economy grew 4 percent in the third quarter.

The U.S. economy has been gaining strength this year after a dismal start due to severe winter weather. It grew at an annualized pace of 4.6 percent in the April-June quarter after falling 2.1 percent in the first three months of the year. The Commerce Department reports its latest estimate of growth for the July-September period today.

The Commerce Department reports its latest data on sales of new homes today.

Sales edged up to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 458,000 in October, led by a big jump in activity in the Midwest. That gain offset declines in the South and West. Economists predict that sales of new homes grew modestly in November versus the previous month.

Dear Annie: Two years ago, my sister called crying that they were going to lose their house. She didn’t realize her husband hadn’t been making the mortgage payments. She said she wouldn’t have taken all those vacations or eaten out in fancy restaurants if she had known they couldn’t afford it.

Of course I jumped in to help. My husband spent a day making sure all the money was transferred into the right accounts in time to stop the bank auction. This was a loan, not a gift, but without interest charges.

Now I feel betrayed. My sister and her husband continue to spend money frivolously. They took a big vacation and lied to me so I wouldn’t know.

They’ve been eating out again. They promise to make payments, but rarely do. Any amount is overdue and in tiny increments.

Now they’ve stopped inviting us to get-togethers.

Is this any way to treat the people who kept you from being thrown out on the street? We have never hounded them for the money, but I know now this was a big mistake. We must have had “sucker” written on our foreheads.

I am extremely hurt that my sister would do this to me. It’s not even the money anymore. It’s being lied to repeatedly by someone I loved and trusted. An apol-

Annie’s Mailbox ogy might help, but I don’t see it happening. What do I do? -- Extremely Disappointed Dear Disappointed: If your sister knew how to be more frugal, she wouldn’t have needed your loan. Her lies and avoidance are how she deals with her guilt. We suggest you remove all vagueness about this. Have a lawyer draw up papers with the amount loaned, the amount repaid and a schedule of monthly payments.

Insist that all of you sign it, and then remind her when she’s late with a payment.

Be nice, but firm. She won’t like it, but once the loan is repaid, you can start with a clean slate.

Dear Annie: My dad constantly calls me at work to ask when I’m going to come over to see Mom and my adult sister who still lives at home. But when I do make the time to visit, he can’t be bothered to talk to my husband, my kids or me, and my sister doesn’t bother to come up from the basement.

This has been going on

for the past 20 years. I no longer feel welcome there.

My dad is retired, but can’t find a moment to stop by my place or even ask how his grandchildren are. But he somehow manages to visit my brother’s kids. I’ve called him on this, and he says he’s not well enough to come to my place, but every day he stops by the donut shop that’s two minutes from my home.

I’ve never asked them for anything and don’t expect anything.

However, my brother’s children are the apples of their eyes. Why does he keep asking me to visit when he doesn’t want to see me? -- Can’t Be Bothered and Don’t Care Dear Can’t: Where is Mom in all this? It sounds as though Dad wants to see you, but has no idea how to relate to you. If you know when he is at the donut shop, feel free to stop by. And if you are willing to put in the effort, family counseling might help all of you communicate better.

Man on the verge of divorce can’t seem to seal the deal D E A R ABBY: I am three years into a relationship with Harold, a man who is separated Abigail but not diVan Buren vorced.

We both have grown Dear Abby children.

H a r o l d was separated when we got involved.

He has since moved in with me and is an active bill-paying member of the home.

I was also separated from a brief marriage when we met, and divorced shortly after we started dating.

My assumption was that Harold would also be divorcing.

As of now, the paperwork remains partially filled out, but no legal proceedings have begun.

I hate this. I have talked to him about it many times, so he knows my feelings.

I’m at the “do it or leave” point, but can’t seem to get over the hump.

I do not plan on marrying -- I just want him to be divorced.

What should I do? -- LOOKING FOR LEGALITY IN WASHINGTON DEAR LOOKING: When you became involved with Harold, did he TELL you he was plan-

ning on divorcing his wife?

There could be reasons why he hasn’t gone through with finalizing it.

One of them could be religious; another might be financial.

A third, the fear that his relationship with his children -- and grandchildren, if there are any -will be permanently damaged.

Or, that marrying you wasn’t his objective in the first place, and your saying you didn’t want to remarry made you more attractive to him.

If remarriage isn’t your goal, why is his finalizing his divorce so important to you?

Before you issue an ultimatum, it’s crucial that you understand the answer to this question.

After that, you will know what -- or what not -- to do.

DEAR ABBY: I have an 11-month-old son.

When I was pregnant, I felt I had a great relationship with my mom.

She seemed excited about becoming a grandma for the first time, but once my son was born she stayed away for two weeks.

When she finally came over, it was only because she happened to be in town for a meeting.

When we met for lunch, she seemed uncomfortable around

the baby.

I feel hurt that she doesn’t seem “into” him or being a grandma.

I’m sad she’s missing out on so much, but I don’t know if I should tell her how I feel.

I don’t want her to change only because I said something.

I’d like her to WANT to visit.

Should I say something to her, or let it be and continue feeling resentment toward her? -- DISAPPOINTED NEW MOM DEAR DISAPPOINTED: Please try to curb your resentment until after you have discussed this with your mother, which is necessary in light of the fact that you have always had a good relationship with her.

In the weeks after your son was born, she may have been trying to give you space and time to bond with your newborn.

She may also be busy, or uncomfortable around babies and toddlers who can’t yet communicate.

Believe it or not, some people -- even grandparents -- feel that way, although they are hesitant to admit it.

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.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

We are all works in progress.

Because you’re the one who has to do the work, you may as well be the one who decides what end result you are going for.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ve been thinking about the thing you want to be a part of. The only problem is that it doesn’t yet exist. So create it.

You are capable, and there are many people who will believe in your vision.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Doing your best is one thing.

Doing what’s needed is entirely another. When what’s ideal and what’s necessary happen to clash, go with what’s necessary.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Look at it like a game and get into a playful mood. There is a process to master, competition to contend with, rules to abide by and a prize at the end.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You

strive to be organized, more contained with your energy and better focused on the things that really matter. Seek relationships that support you as you improve.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

A relationship that has natural momentum does not need to be pushed along. Pull back and you just might notice that things accelerate without your effort.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The kind of friend you need is one you can insert into any social situation without a worry as to what weirdness they will spout.

Good people like this are rare treasures.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Because time is your most valuable asset, it is extremely costly to try different tactics. Even if the experiments are free, you cannot afford them. An adviser who’s been through it already is worth the investment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21). You need an equal to sharpen your talent on. Seek the company of someone whose abilities impress you. You’ll realize how far along you are when you have a worthy opponent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The theories are all well and good, but the way to bring your heart and head into union is simply to act. Make your move. Tonight, family dynamics are complex, and you navigate them beautifully.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Politics will play into each and every situation today. The awareness of this will make you more powerful. You’ll get what you want when you give them what they want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It takes a strong person to acknowledge weakness. Knowing how you need to work on yourself and being willing to do what’s necessary will give you a serious advantage.

Video shows Kelly not aggressor

BY JOHN WAWROW Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Mississippi football signee Chad Kelly’s lawyer said he has video showing his client was not the aggressor in a fight at a downtown Buffalo nightclub last weekend.

“It’s obvious Chad was not the one who started this incident,” Thomas Eoannou told The Associated Press by phone Monday, a day after the quarterback was charged with numerous counts, including resisting arrest.

Eoannou said the video disputes an allegation that Kelly threatened staff by saying:

“I’m going to go to my car and get my AK47 and spray this place.” The comment was included in Kelly’s arrest report filed by police.

“There’s no evidence of a threat of an AK in that video,” Eoannou said.

Kelly, the 20-year-old nephew of Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 5.

Last week, he committed to play at Ole Miss. Mississippi said in a statement Monday the team is “gathering facts on the matter.”

Kelly, who grew up in nearby Niagara Falls, and a male

companion were arrested shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday.

The two allegedly attempted to re-enter the club after being ejected earlier in the night.

According to the police report, Kelly grabbed a bouncer by the jacket and punched him in the face. Another bouncer joined in and the three traded punches. Kelly then allegedly scuffled with officers while being removed from a pickup which police stopped nearby. He is also accused of struggling with officers while being jailed.

Among the other charges Kelly faces are second-degree menacing with a weapon,

second-degree harassment and third-degree assault. He was arraigned in Buffalo City Court and released without bail.

In April, Kelly was kicked off the Clemson football team for what was said to be detrimental conduct. That happened two days after he was benched during a spring game for disagreeing with coaches over strategy on a fourth down.

Kelly enrolled at East Mississippi Community College, where he led the school to win the National Junior College Athletic Association title this month.

Sims proves critics wrong with big season

BY JOHN ZENOR Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The little boy approached Alabama coach Nick Saban with the directness only a kid can get away with.

“Do we have a quarterback other than Blake Sims?” the 10-year-old asked last spring.

Many grown-up fans were wondering the same thing after Sims struggled in the spring game. The hindsight answer: The top-ranked Crimson Tide didn’t need one.

With a blend of poise, consistency and big plays, Sims has led Alabama into a College Football Playoff matchup with No. 4 Ohio State on Jan. 1 and set some records along the way. Sims’ critics, presumably including the

unimpressed youngster, have mostly been quieted.

“He probably jumped on the bandwagon like all the rest of you did,” Saban said.

The bandwagon for Sims is crowded these days. The former running back and scoutteam quarterback wasn’t given much of a shot by many fans and reporters to beat out Florida State transfer Jake Coker as AJ McCarron’s replacement.

Particularly after Sims threw two interceptions in the spring game, when Coker wasn’t around and fans were scrutinizing his every move on the field.

Sims has not only guided the Crimson Tide to a 12-1 record and Southeastern Conference title but his numbers

are more than comparable to those McCarron put up last season when he was the Heisman Trophy runner-up. He has been invited to play in the Senior Bowl.

Like McCarron, Sims’ teammates chose him as a team captain after the SEC championship game.

“I don’t think anybody doubted him on this team,” Tide center Ryan Kelly said.

“We knew wherever he was going to go he was going to give it his all. That’s the result that came out this year. He gave it his all and look what happened.”

Kelly says the doubters before the season were “everybody from the outside.”

The 6-foot Sims could be dismissed as too short, too

inexperienced and certainly too inconsistent in the spring game, which was the first time many fans had seen him play quarterback outside of mopup duty.

Sims has passed for a school-record 3,250 yards with 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions — all on par with McCarron’s numbers in 13 games (3,064 yards, 28 touchdowns, seven interceptions). Sims also had one of his better games against Missouri to claim the SEC title.

Pretty good for a player who had attempted 29 passes in two seasons as McCarron’s backup after playing running back in 2011. Saban said most players would have transPlease see SIMS | 13

Coughlin doesn’t want Beckham to lose his edge

BY TOM CANAVAN Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tom Coughlin is looking to change some things about Odell Beckham Jr.’s game.

It’s nothing big, and certainly not the edge the recordsetting New York Giants’ rookie brings to the field.

Coughlin just wants him to tone his celebrations after scoring, the little dance, the ball spin and even what may

be an unconscious glance at an opponent that got one official to throw a flag on Sunday for taunting.

“The exuberance, if it goes too far, obviously, it is not a good thing, so we will continue to work with him,” Coughlin said Monday, a day after a wild 37-27 win over the St. Louis Rams. “I spoke to him on the way out on the plane about a couple of things I was interested in continuing to

talk to him about and why I wanted him to learn as much as he possibly could and for me to help him going forward because I want everyone to realize the quality of the young man, and not be offset by some of things that he has done.”

Coughlin said Beckham agrees with him.

“He looked at me and said, ‘Coach, stay after me,’” the 68-year-old coach added. “He

wants to learn and he wants to continue to improve and be better.”

It’s a good relationship and one that may get to continue with the Giants (6-9) riding a three-game winning streak and Coughlin having a chance to keep his job.

Whatever happens, Coughlin wants Beckham to keep playing with an edge.

Titans lead Buccaneers for top pick in 2015 draft

BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press

You can win for losing in the NFL. The Tennessee Titans are proving it.

Thanks to a nine-game slide, the Titans (2-13) are in line for the top overall pick in next spring’s draft.

They hold the edge, according to the latest NFL calculations, on equally inept Tampa Bay because of strength — uh, make that weakness — of schedule.

“Nobody is giving up,” said third-string quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, now the starter after injuries to Zach Mettenberger and Jake Locker.

“You can see how hard we fight until the very end and that locker room expects to win next week. That’s the way we’ve been all year and we just have not been able to put it all together yet.”

Not even close.

Under first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt, the Titans have compiled their awful record against opponents with a 108115-1 mark.

That gives their schedule a .484 rating, barely easier than Tampa Bay’s .489 under its first-year coach, Lovie Smith.

Unless they both win home games Sunday — the Titans against AFC South winner Indianapolis, the Bucs vs. New

Orleans — one of them will own the top selection. But which one remains uncertain, because every game must be played across the league to fully determine strength (weakness) of schedule.

That means results in contests not involving the Titans or Bucs could affect who winds up No. 1. Or No. 32, that is.

Since the NFL went to all divisional matchups on the final weekend of the schedule, in theory the impact of those games not involving the bottom teams would be minimized.

This season, the AFC South, where the Titans are the tail-

enders, played the entire NFC East and AFC North.

That means interconference matchups with the surprisingly strong Cowboys and surprisingly weak Giants, and four games against teams over or close to .500 from the AFC North.

Tampa Bay’s NFC South faced off with the AFC North, too, but took on the NFC North.

Should both Tennessee and Tampa Bay win Sunday, Jacksonville, Oakland and the New York Jets, all 3-12, are next in line.

Clearly, though, the odds favor the Titans and Bucs as leadoff hitters at the draft.

Cutler set to start Pittsburgh looking at more than just a playoff spot finale for Chicago

BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Quarterback Jay Cutler is returning to the Chicago Bears’ lineup and will start the final game of the season after Jimmy Clausen suffered a concussion.

The Bears are going back to Cutler for this week’s game at Minnesota after benching him for Sunday’s loss to Detroit.

Clausen was injured on a helmet-tohelmet hit by Detroit’s Ezekiel Ansah while scrambling on Chicago’s final drive of Sunday’s 20-14 loss. Ansah received an unnecessary roughness penalty.

Coach Marc Trestman would not say Monday if a healthy Clausen would have made another start.

“That’s not an issue right now,” he said.

The quarterback situation has been Please see CUTLER | 13

PITTSBURGH — Ramon Foster never stopped believing. Not after the embarrassing meltdown against Tampa Bay. Not after the debacle in Cleveland. Not after the New York Jets pushed the Pittsburgh Steelers around six weeks ago. The Steelers were a playoff team. Foster was sure of it. The self-assured guard figured it would simply take a little time for things to come together, particularly on a roster that’s undergone a sizable makeover since its last postseason appearance in 2011.

“I’ve said it since the beginning of camp, we have the tools capable of doing it,” Foster said. “It starts up front with the O-line and D-line.

We have a quarterback. We have a running back. We have

receivers. We have a defense that is getting hot.”

So hot that Foster sees no problem with taking the feeling he had since camp opened in July a step further.

“A lot of press look at me weird when I say it, but I think we’re a team that’s capable of playing in Arizona,” Foster said.

That’s Arizona as in the host of the Super Bowl.

Foster wasn’t bragging or making a prediction, necessarily, but giving voice to a confidence that has slowly been building throughout the fall. Pittsburgh’s momentum crested in Sunday’s 2012 win over Kansas City that secured a playoff spot and set up a showdown with Cincinnati this weekend for the AFC North title and the home playoff game that goes along with it.

While quarterback Ben Roethlisberger stresses the Steelers (10-5) remain a work in progress, they also look less uneven than the group that slouched through a 3-3 start.

Pittsburgh is 7-2 since getting crushed by the Browns on Oct. 12. Roethlisberger is in the midst of the finest season of his career. Antonio Brown is obliterating every significant team single-season receiving record and Le’Veon Bell is entering the conversation as the most versatile running back in the league.

Heck, even the defense has shown up. That really was 36-year-old James Harrison spending a good portion of Sunday afternoon in the Kansas City backfield. The team that gave up big plays with alarming regularity earlier in the year kept the Chiefs out of the end zone. Pittsburgh is

no longer just jumping to the lead, the Steelers are keeping it.

Pittsburgh has trailed for only 5 minutes since a 25-point fourth quarter outburst against Cincinnati on Dec. 7. The finishing instinct the Steelers lacked during treadmill-spinning 8-8 seasons in 2012 and 2013 has suddenly reappeared. In each of the last two weeks, the Steelers have held the ball early in the fourth quarter nursing a one-score lead.

Twice they responded with lengthy scoring drives that sealed the outcome.

“We knew we had the talent, and that it was just a case of us being consistent and putting it together,” Bell said.

“It might not have looked like we were making progress, but Please see PLAYOFF | 13

a big issue lately after Trestman decided last week to make a change with Cutler leading the league in interceptions (18) and turnovers (24).

It was a surprising move by a team that signed the quarterback to a huge seven-year deal after last season, and it raised big questions about Cutler’s future in Chicago.

Then again, no one appears to be safe with the Bears (5-10) missing the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years after opening the season with high expectations.

The future of everyone from general manager Phil Emery to Trestman to the assistant coaches and the players is open

for discussion.

Clausen, making his first start since he was a rookie with Carolina in 2010, played turnoverfree ball until a late interception. He completed 23 of 39 passes for 181 yards.

The Bears said Clausen was monitored by the team’s medical staff and the NFL’s concussion monitor and showed no signs of a concussion immediately after the hit or on the final four plays of the drive.

The team said he was checked on the sideline and after the game and passed all tests.

The Bears said Clausen started having issues in the evening and was taken to a hospital, where he was examined by a team doctor and diagnosed.

ferred under those circumstances.

“Blake is an inspirational guy, just his personality, the way he plays, the way he competes,” Saban said. “I think a lot of players have a lot of respect for him for the perseverance that he showed here.

We’re talking about a guy that not very many people thought he could play quarterback at Alabama.”

Sims has started every game but opened the season splitting time with Coker. He officially declared the quarterback competition over with a 445-yard passing performance against Florida, the second-most in Alabama history.

Sims typically deflects most praise toward his teammates in interviews, and said he didn’t expect to be named a captain.

At a school where quarterbacks are defined by national titles, the former scout-teamer is two wins away from making his final season one Tide fans won’t forget. Sims said he hasn’t pondered his legacy — yet.

“Whatever my last game goes zero on the board in the fourth quarter, I’ll stop and think about what I have done through the year,” he said.

“But right now I’m just focused on what I’ve got to do to make this team better and how can I make sure this team is ready for Ohio State.”

“There is no way you want to take anything away from the guy on the field, except for some of the things you see,” Coughlin said. “I am not trying to tell you that everything he does is intentionally directed at the opponent. It is not, but if it is being interpreted by the officials as it is, then we have to do something about it.”

Coughlin was a little surprised that Beckham was penalized for taunting after his first touchdown.

He had spun the ball previously after scoring without drawing a flag.

But this time, the official didn’t hesitate to penalize the wideout.

“They felt that it was

we knew that if we kept doing what we were supposed to be doing, we’d be alright.”

The Steelers certainly look like it. The impact plays against the Chiefs were made by franchise fixtures who multiple Super Bowl rings at home like Roethlisberger and Harrison to newcomers like Bell and rookie defensive tackle Stephon Tuitt who are in the midst of a playoff push for the first time.

Pittsburgh doesn’t have the swagger that accompanied the franchise during its dominant run from 2005-10 where it won two Vince Lombardi trophies and played for a third. That’s fine by coach Mike Tomlin, who would prefer his team get by on its play, not its reputation. The Steelers have spent the last four months buck-

taunting,” Coughlin said.

“There is some evidence that he looks one way and then he comes back and does it. Whether or not he knows who is even around him that would be the question.”

There is no question that Beckham, who missed the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury, is tearing up opposing defenses and drawing more than his share of attention.

The Rams tried to get him off his game with a couple of late hits, one that resulted in a melee and three players ejected. It didn’t work. He finished with eight catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns, including a crucial 80-yarder with the Rams threatening.

ing tradition, riding one of the NFL’s most potent offenses back to prominence and sticking with a youthful core that is growing up in front of its coach’s eyes.

“Same guys, but they’ve matured through the process,” Tomlin said. “That maturation process is sometimes not easy.” But it’s effective.

The growing pains of September and October — and 2012 and 2013 for that matter — are now firmly in the rearview mirror. Following a twoyear absence, the Steelers are back in the playoffs and have no plans on going home anytime soon.

“We had some up and downs but we just kept pounding the pavement and it’s been paying off for us,” linebacker Lawrence Timmons said.

“We’ve seen that if we believe, we can win. We’ve just got to go do it.”

Falcons hoping for 0-0 fresh start in playoffs

BY CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons players have been wearing 1-0 shirts in recent weeks as a reminder to focus on one game instead of their ugly record.

The winner of Sunday’s game between the Falcons (6-9) and Carolina (6-8-1) will clinch the NFC South and have a home playoff game. Wide receiver Julio Jones says the losing record won’t matter if the Falcons make the playoffs.

“People are going to jump on the bandwagon, they’re going to jump off the bandwagon,” Jones said after Sunday’s 30-14 win at New Orleans. “But when you get to the post-

season, it’s 0-0.”

The win over the Saints kept Atlanta in the playoff chase. The Falcons may be playing to save coach Mike Smith’s job. They are assured of their second straight losing record after five straight winning seasons under Smith.

Smith said Monday he has not been distracted by speculation about his status. It’s unknown how advancing to the playoffs or winning at least one playoff game might affect owner Arthur Blank’s decision on Smith’s future.

“I know that’s a subject that everybody wants to talk about,” Smith said.

“As I said four or five weeks ago, and I hope this is the last time I have

to answer it, I’m going to prepare just like I’ve done for the seven years that I’ve been here. My focus is on winning football games and winning the next football game and I’m going to continue to do that until Arthur Blank tells me differently.”

Tickets for a Falcons playoff game on Jan. 3 or 4 at the Georgia Dome were placed on sale Monday. Smith said his team has been resilient but inconsistent as it has been hit with a large number of injuries for the second straight year.

Atlanta lost four starting offensive linemen and linebacker Sean Weatherspoon early in the year.

More recently, corner-

back Robert Alford was placed on IR. Safety William Moore missed seven games with a shoulder injury and left Sunday’s game with another shoulder injury.

Running back Steve Jackson (quad) and cornerback Josh Wilson (hamstring) also left Sunday’s game with injuries.

Smith said Moore, Jackson and Wilson were having tests on Monday.

Smith said the Falcons regrouped during their bye week following a devastating 22-21 loss to Detroit in London on Oct. 26.

The fifth-straight loss left Atlanta 2-6, and the team returned for back-to-back road wins at Tampa Bay and Carolina.

Harbaugh won’t speculate about what’s next for him

BY JANIE MCCAULEY AP Sports Writer

SANTA CLARA, Calif.

— Jim Harbaugh has kept quiet about the speculation surrounding his future for nearly a year.

So he has no plans to participate now as he begins what could be his final week coaching the San Francisco 49ers.

He wouldn’t say whether 49ers executives had come to him to let him know if his alma mater, the University of Michigan, reached out about bringing the coach to Ann Arbor. “What will happen will happen, what won’t happen won’t happen,”

Harbaugh said Monday.

“Like the players, like the coaches, we’re dedicated to doing our job, finish what you start. That’s the mindset.” Harbaugh, who will turn 51 on Tuesday, has lost four straight games for the first time in his four-year stint.

He has one year remaining on the $25 million, five-year contract he signed in January 2011 to leave Stanford for the 49ers (7-8). San Francisco finishes its disappointing first season at $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium on Sunday hosting Arizona.

“Let’s hug our families and go get a win here,” he

said. “It’s not fun when you lose. That’s a heartbreaking thing.”

Harbaugh is doing his best to keep it all in perspective after the Niners reached each of the last three NFC championship games and lost the Super Bowl following the 2012 season.

“I am so proud to report to you that I have the best wife, Sarah Harbaugh, and six wonderful children,” Harbaugh said.

“And I’m proud to report that my future will always be bright with the family that I have.” Fox Sports reported that the 49ers and Harbaugh would cut

ties within 24-48 hours after the season ends Sunday. “Well, as you know, I have not participated in the speculation, the unnamed sources or rumors, or asked you to have Jay Glazer go back and ask his source for more clarification,” Harbaugh said. “I haven’t participated and I don’t intend to.

“This has been a good 12 months of this kind of thing. No reason to start right now.”

Harbaugh’s not the only one who could be in his final week with the franchise. There’s running back Frank Gore, perhaps the most notable.
