Retiring fire chief reflects on career “It actually came a little earlier in my career than I had envisioned it,” said Price. “But I saw that if I didn’t take it then, the opportunity may never come again.” With 281⁄2 years at the department, he feels the time is right for his retirement. But the avid runner is not yet planning on lots of free time to hit the pavement, because he is taking a job with ServPro. After putting out fires all these years, he’s now going to clean up after them. The toughest blaze he remembers battling was an industrial fire at ITT. Parts stacked on racks in an oven were burning, and the firemen struggled to put them out with dry chemical extinguishers. “It actually got so hot the oven collapsed,” said Price. “I’ve never been in one hotter, never been in one any more smoky. I was on the floor and had a flashlight on. ’Til I turned it and touched it to my face piece on my air pack, I couldn’t tell it was on.”

Northeast’s new student services center to open with new semester BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

The start of the spring semester at Northeast Mississippi Community College will bring the official opening of one of the largest new building projects in the school’s history. The Jack. T. Ramsey Student Services Building will be open for business when the school

reopens on Jan. 2 following the Christmas break. NEMCC President Dr. Johnny Allen said the movement of offices into the new building is currently underway and all student services offices housed in the new building will be open for students on that date. A formal ribbon cutting for the building is scheduled for Feb. 5.

Allen said the opening marks a significant milestone for the college in creating a more accessible and user friendly experience for students. The building, located at the end of Cunningham Boulevard at the center of the campus, will bring all student services offices Please see BUILDING | 3A

Rob Price’s career path took him exactly where he wanted to go — hanging on to the back of a shiny firetruck, ready to help someone in need. “It was all I ever wanted to be when I was a little kid,” recalled Price, the fire chief who spent his last day at the Corinth Fire Department on Friday. His firefighting grandfather, who reared Price, was an influence on the Corinth native’s career path. Price became a Corinth firefighter at the age of 23 in 1984, when firemen still rode on the back of the truck and there were no ranks other than chief, driver and back-up driver. He served a couple of years as a dispatcher, taking calls to the department in the days before 911, and would later become a driver, then engineer and lieutenant. Nine years ago, upon the retirement of Gerald Horner, Price was tapped for the chief position.

Year in review: Headlines from first six months of 2012 January

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

(Editor’s Note: Following is a recap of notable Corinth area headlines from the first half of 2012. This is the first of a twopart series with the second half of the year to follow. Look for the annual local “Top 10 Stories of the Year” for 2012 on New Year’s Day.)

The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors begins the new term with a new board president (newcomer Lowell Hinton), new county engineer (Cook Coggin) and new board attorney (Bill Davis). Dale Bain is appointed to the county school board seat that

was held by his late mother, Peggy Bain. Longtime CHS coach Jimmy Mitchell announces his retirement. After generating some buzz darting around town in her 1974 model ice cream truck, Tonya Wren of Ramer is arrested for selling drugs out of the ice cream truck.

Nick Bain, Rita Potts Parks and Tracy Arnold join the Mississippi Legislature. After being reported missing, Michael Lamar Rogers is found deceased in his vehicle a couple of days later of apparently natural causes. The Corinth Board of Aldermen passes a resolution seeking legislative approval for a

city-only vote on the sale of liquor. City aldermen reappoint Jerry Finger to the city school board after hearing pleas to maintain minority representation. Winds cause a major collapse in the Corinth Machinery buildPlease see REVIEW | 5A

Corinth man designs, builds working 17-foot submarine BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

His name is Waterman and he cruises just below the lake’s surface in a vehicle of his own design and construction — a 17-foot-long yellow submarine that brings to mind psychedelic pop music and early James Bond movies at the same time. But Glen Waterman is not a Bond villain or a character from a Beatles song. The 49-yearold Corinth resident is a longtime body work mechanic and mostly a regular guy. But he is a regular guy with an adventurous spirit who recently made a dream come true when he launched the submarine he built with his own hands. The moment Waterman dropped his submarine into the waters of Big Hill Pond State Park in McNairy County, Tenn., was the culmination of a lifelong dream and a project that began roughly 15 years ago. “I’ve always loved submarines,” said Waterman. “My whole life I’ve been fascinated by subs and loved the old mov-

Waterman

ies like ‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’.” Another reason? The challenge. “It’s such a technical challenge. I wanted to know I can do

it,” he said. Waterman’s sub is propelled by two 50-pound thrust motors — one on each side — and another motor in the rear, all powered by a series of three batteries. The rear motor has a 90-degree sweep and can provide extra power and control, but Waterman said he rarely uses it. The side motors alone will bring to sub up to 7 mph, fast enough for underwater travel in the lakes of Middle Tennessee. He has dived the sub 15 to 20 feet underwater at Big Hill Pond, but Waterman is conPlease see SUBMARINE | 11A

Before it dives, Glen Waterman’s sub rides with the cab just above the waterline. He goes for a ride at Travis McNatt Lake at Big Hill Pond State Park near Ramer, Tenn.

BUILDING CONTINUED FROM 1A

under one roof for the first time in the school’s history. The first floor of the center is entirely dedicated to student services and creates a one-stop location for students needing to register, pay fees, obtain transcripts or other records, seek assistance with financial aid or access any other service. Offices on that floor will include the school’s admissions, business, financial aid, records, student housing and counseling offices. Allen said the idea is to bring together all of the most commonly accessed student services offices in one location to make access easier and quicker for students. The building’s second floor is dedicated to administration and includes the offices of the school’s president, chief financial officer, the deans, and other key officials, bringing them closer together to improve communication. The west side of the building features a large plaza connecting with the front of the student union building featuring a fountain, benches and new landscaping. The plaza is designed to be a centerpiece of the college and place for students to gather for events and to relax or study during the school day. With the opening of the new building comes the emptying of two of the college’s oldest buildings — Stringer Hall and Estes Hall. Stringer Hall, home to the office of the president, the business office and the dean’s offices, will get a major facelift on the outside and a completely new purpose on the inside. Allen said the building’s interior will be completely renovated with the

Ramsey Student Services Building at Northeast Mississippi Community College. first floor turned into an expanded, state of the art bookstore complete with an enhanced selection of technology items and apparel and its own cafe. The top floor will become the center of technology and e-learning efforts on the campus with a large computer lab for students to take proctored exams for online courses, space for technology training and education for the school’s staff and the office’s of the school’s division of e-learning. The exterior of the building will be restored and repaired to maintain its historic look while ensuring it is solid enough to last for many years to come. Estes Hall, which houses additional administration offices, will be demolished. Allen said administrators expect to accept bids for the demolition work at the January meeting of the

college’s board of trustees. The work will begin with the removal of asbestos. Once that is complete the entire building will be torn down. The space will be converted into a park like area with trees and benches. Planning is also underway for another major construction project on the campus. Allen said he expects to approve final plans and begin seeking bids by mid-2013 for the construction of a new fine arts building to be located on the corner of Veterans Drive and College Street. The building will include a state-of-the-art auditorium with floor and balcony seating for all types of performances. The facility will also include a band hall, rehearsal spaces, classroom and studio spaces for music and other fine arts, and more.

Funeral services for Vera Arnold Rogers, 91, of Corinth, are set for 1 p.m. Thursday at Magnolia Funeral Home Chapel of Memories with burial at Lone Oak Baptist Church Cemetery.

The retiring chief got high praise from Mayor Tommy Irwin as he made his last appearance before the Board of Aldermen this past week. “You’ve worked hard and represented your city extremely well,” the mayor said.

Rob Price is retiring from the Corinth Fire Department after nine years as chief, and beginning a new line of work.

Opinion

Mark Boehler, 4A • Wednesday, December 26, 2012 editor Corinth, Miss.

Innovation can change your life Innovation is a powerful tool. Since our world is less than perfect, innovation enables you to achieve goals others may consider unreachable. Successful innovation involves working with what you have Bryan while striving to attain what Golden you don’t have. History is filled with exDare to Live amples of the awesome imWithout Limits pact of innovation. Innovation can change your life or it can change history. Innovation is not constrained by the way things have always been done. Rather, innovation breaks free of the way things have been done to entirely redefine the rules. Successful innovation opens the flood gates for non-stop developments that propel us far beyond expectations. For many thousands of years, people dreamed of flying. Despite numerous attempts to fly, utilizing a wide variety of designs, soaring above the earth proved an elusive goal. However, after the Wright brothers demonstrated in 1903 that flight was possible, it took only 67 years before man walked on the moon. For millennia, since prehistoric times, an open flame was the sole source of light. But after electricity’s first widespread commercial lighting applications in the mid 1800’s, it was less than 100 years before electricity was powering technological marvels such as radar and computers. People did not live in a truly free society bestowed with generous personal liberty until the founding of our democracy in 1776. Since then, America’s unequalled success has been the inspiration for democracies around the world. As you can see, innovation breaks free from the established approach. It looks at circumstances from an entirely new perspective. Innovation is fueled by an open mind that is receptive to all possibilities. Innovation flies in the face of “that’s the way it’s always been done.” Ongoing learning accelerates innovation. Innovation does not reinvent the wheel. Rather, it builds on the current base of knowledge. The successes and failures of others serve as the building blocks for further advances. Sometimes radical innovation only requires changing the existing approach by 10% to 20%. Innovation can be so simple that people respond to it with, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Innovation requires looking at things from different perspectives. Innovators consider all options and approaches. Innovators throw out assumptions and discard conventional wisdom. Conversely, an attitude of “that’s impossible” stifles innovation. Innovators don’t believe in limitations. They believe the answers they need already exist. Their goal is to uncover them. Innovators minds are always open and searching for answers. The solutions they need may appear at any time from any source, often when they don’t expect it. Innovation requires working with the resources you have and using creativity to make up for anything that may be lacking. Innovators become adept at adapting and improvising. Creativity is a foundation for innovation. Since innovation involves doing something that has not yet been done, there are no established rules or guidelines to follow. As such, innovators create a path where none has existed. Once an innovation is established, many others follow along the same route, accelerating the subsequent progress. Perseverance and determination are also essential characteristics innovators possess. They understand that innovations take time and effort. That is one reason why innovations elude so many. Thomas Edison took 10,000 tries before he developed a working light bulb. Most people would have declared the light bulb an impossible dream after a fraction of Edison’s attempts. You can learn how to innovate in your own life from those that have gone before you. Apply the same approaches to any problems, challenges, and obstacles you may have. Believe in your ability to discover the solutions you need. Give yourself credit for all innovations, no matter how small.

Prayer for today God of hope, when we are tempted to give up, remind us to listen for the sound of angels. Amen.

Mental health funding needs commitment STARKVILLE — The Connecticut school shooting tragedy focused the nation’s attention first on U.S. gun rights policies, but the focus rightly shifted to the problems of mental health and the public’s willingness to see mental health treatment funding suffer as a result of a stagnant economy, changing priorities or simple benign neglect. One of the causes I’ve tried to champion has been that of working to get the mentally ill out of Mississippi’s jails and into treatment. The funding battle of Mississippi’s crisis mental health centers was one of the most contentious fights I recall in the Legislature. Former Gov. Haley Barbour was an impediment in that fight. At the time, Barbour said he was concerned about the state’s per-capita mental health spending in comparison with the surrounding states. He said that Mississippi’s spending was above the national average — something that’s rare for Mississippi in virtually any economic index. For the record, the National Association of State Mental Health Program

Directors Research Institute reported that in Fiscal Year 2009, per-capita Sid Salter s p e n d i n g on menColumnist tal health agencies in Mississippi was $108.96 per capita. That compared with a national average of $122.90 per capita. Alabama spent $77.89 per capita on mental health, while Arkansas spent $42.77, Louisiana spent $71.80 and Tennessee spent $78.31. In his executive budget, current Gov. Phil Bryant is proposing additional mental health cuts while Mississippi lawmakers are contemplating even deeper cuts. That despite the fact that time and the lengthy recession has already taken a toll on mental health spending in Mississippi. Mississippi’s mental health funding declined 10.4 percent between Fiscal Year 2009 and Fiscal Year 2012. That’s a significant cut. But at the same time, South Carolina cut mental health

spending by 39.3 percent, Alabama by 36 percent, Alaska by 32.6 percent, Illinois by 31.7 percent, Nevada by 28.1 percent, and California by 21.2 percent. In the wake of the Connecticut shooting, there is renewed attention on the role cuts in state mental health spending may play in failing to recognize and treat those with mental illnesses who may gravitate toward mass shootings or other extreme manifestations of their mental problems. The fact is that despite its shortcomings, Mississippi’s mental health system is funded better than such systems are funded in the contiguous Southern states. The fact that Mississippi has been the site of one of the first heinous school shooting incidents may have something to do with the fact that state lawmakers have generally held the line on making devastating cuts to mental health funding. That’s not to say Mississippi’s mental health system is well-funded. It’s not. But lawmakers here have put a higher priority on

funding mental health than have their counterparts across the state lines. As the nation looks for solutions in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, that fact is a bright line in Mississippi. The question now remains whether Mississippi’s mental health system is efficient and effective enough to be a reliable factor in the school safety debate. The broader question is whether Mississippi can maintain a long-term commitment to community mental health funding. The fact is that in Mississippi, when mental health funding falters, law enforcement officers become mental health first responders. That’s unfair to law enforcement and often dangerous for the patients. Often, it leads to renewing Mississippi’s long and shameful practice of jailing truly sick and suffering people for the “crime” of being mentally ill – a practice that is beyond barbaric.

False prophets should say prayers for guidance FISHTRAP HOLLOW — In the quiet of this early morning, in a season dedicated to peace and good will to all men, it is hard to believe the sadness and ugliness that assaults America. Compounding the senseless deaths of innocent children and their teachers, men who pretend to speak for God are assigning blame. While calling themselves Christians, these multimillionaire, multimedia preachers are stoking the fires of ignorance, hate and bigotry. As usual. James Dobson of Focus on the Family blames abortion and gay marriage for the deadly Sandy Hook murders. Assault rifles don’t kill people; gay people kill people. Or so he says. He should know. God talks to him directly, assuring a profit. Bryan Fischer of the amazingly influential American Family Association says God couldn’t possibly help the 20 children slaughtered because prayer has been banned from the schools. God, he evidently

believes, was making a point, using helpless 6- and 7-year-old to Rheta children do so. Johnson Lesser charlatans Columnist all across the country are following the lead of more successful peers with rousing “Amens!” from their respective pulpits. If you don’t believe me, search the Internet for “Sandy Hook” and “blame.” One Tennessee Baptist reportedly chided his flock for getting “all up in arms about 20 children” when thousands are aborted. “I believe they use children and Christmas and all that to pull on our heartstrings about gun control,” the Rev. Sam Morris said. People like Dobson and the others mentioned are so despicable that it is tempting to ignore them. In a way it seems wrong to give such ridiculous taunts more attention, but then it hits

you. Millions believe this way. Millions of our fellow citizens make it possible for Dobson and his ilk to preach, prosper and multiply. In the Connecticut village where a procession of funerals has eclipsed Christmas, parents and friends are mourning. It seems too much that so-called men of faith are standing on the back of this incredible grief to promulgate hate. This is, of course, a free country. There are constitutional amendments to allow us to say what we think, to worship any way we want, to own guns, to make ridiculous claims in the name of religion. A free country, yes, but a sane one? I sometimes wonder. There is nothing that can bring back the selfless Sandy Hook teachers who used themselves as human shields to try to save their pupils. There is nothing that can bring back the little children who were days away from celebrating Christmas with their families. There

will be no neat answer to how and why a young man became capable of such savagery and violence. What we do know is this. A disturbed individual with access to many guns let loose his own Old Testament-style wrath, and without a blink of mercy mowed down his own mother and many others. To experience this despair vicariously, from many states away, is one thing. For those directly involved, living on is one tough proposition. But surely there is something still that defines us as human, that makes us better than the worst of us and stronger than the weakest. Perhaps those who pretend to get their answers directly from a loving god should be praying for guidance, gun control and their own sick souls.

Couple unlawfully wedded for 48 years Associated Press

REDLANDS, Calif. â€” After spending nearly a half-century as husband and wife, Bob and Norma Clark are finally married. The couple from Redlands, an inland California city halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs, celebrated their 48th anniversary in August, and in November they were getting their end-of-life documents in order and sought a copy

of their marriage license for Social Security purposes. The Clarks, who met in college, took their vows at a church south of San Francisco in August 1964, shortly after Bob had served in the Army during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But when clerks at the Hall of Records in San Mateo County tried to pull the license last month, they came up empty. â€œThey went back to the

Local gymastics instructor leaves behind fighting legacy BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

Teri Jenkins was a fighter to the end. This is the legacy she leaves behind as one of her many lessons left for her gymnastics students and many people who have known her over the years. Jenkins, 54, died on Christmas Eve morning after a long battle with breast cancer. She was well known because she taught gymnastics for 35 years in the Crossroads area. She began her long career as a gymnastics instructor at the Corinth Y in 1978. She taught gymnastics at the Y for 10 years prior to moving to Memphis. Jenkins returned to Corinth in 1992 to open AcroSports and later opened Shining Star Gymnastics. She was co-owner of Shining Star with Tonya Duffey since 2006. â€œShe had such compassion for the children,â€? said Duffey. â€œShe loved everyone and she was loved by everybody.â€? An elite level judge, Jenkins had worked nationally judging gymnastics tournaments and had worked at Southeastern Conference Tournaments

off her bucket list in the last month. An avid Alabama football fan, she got to tailgate before the Auburn-Alabama game. She got to spend a week in Key West, Florida. Duffey is going to keep the Shining Star Gym open to keep Teriâ€™s legacy alive by giving young people a chance to learn gymnastics. â€œI heard someone say that Teri was the original Steel Magnolia,â€? said Greer. â€œTeri was tough because she had to be tough. She always put herself last and tried to help others.â€? Jenkins got sick last New Yearâ€™s Eve, but did not learn about the breast cancer until March. She leaves her son, Bobby Jenkins, who stood beside his mother during her illness. â€œWeâ€™ve been friends for 25 years and I am just devastated,â€? said Duffey. Funeral arrangements were incomplete Christmas Day with McPeters Funeral Directors in charge of arrangements. (If anyone would like to send a memorial, send it to Kossuth United Methodist Church, 953 Hwy. 2, Corinth 38834 and direct it to the F.U.E.L. program.)

Man who killed 2 firemen left note on killing plan Associated Press

WEBSTER, N.Y. â€” The ex-con who lured two firefighters to their deaths in a blaze of gunfire left a rambling typewritten note saying he wanted to burn down the neighborhood and â€œdo what I like doing best, killing people,â€? police said Tuesday as they recovered burned human remains believed to be the gunmanâ€™s missing sister. Police Chief Gerald Pickering said 62-yearold William Spengler, who served 17 years in prison for the 1980 hammer slaying of his grandmother, armed himself with a revolver, a shotgun and a military-style rifle before he set his house afire to lure first responders into a death trap before dawn on Christmas Eve. â€œHe was equipped to go to war, kill innocent people,â€? Pickering said. The rifle he had was a military-style .223-caliber semiautomatic Bushmaster rifle with flash suppression, the same make and caliber weapon used in the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., Pickering said. The chief said police believe the firefighters were hit with shots from the rifle given the distance but the investigation was incomplete. Pickering declined to divulge the full content of the two- to three-page note left by Spengler or say where it was found,

but read one line from it: â€œI still have to get ready to see how much of the neighborhood I can burn down, and do what I like doing best, killing people.â€? The human remains were found in the charred house that Spengler shared with his 67-yearold sister, Cheryl. A medical examiner will need to determine the identity and cause of death because the body is badly burned. Spengler killed himself as seven houses burned around him Monday on a narrow spit of land along Lake Ontario in this suburb of Rochester. A friend said Spengler hated his sister but the chief said the note left by him did not give a motive. No other bodies were found, and police late Tuesday said the onscene investigation had been completed. Two firefighters were shot dead in the ambush and two others are hospitalized in stable condition. Spengler fired at the four firefighters when they arrived shortly after 5:30 a.m. Monday to put out the fire, Pickering said. The first police officer who arrived chased the gunman and exchanged shots. Authorities said Spengler hadnâ€™t done anything to bring himself to their attention since his parole. As a convicted felon, he wasnâ€™t allowed to possess

as well. â€œTeri was tough and was an outstanding gymnastics coach,â€? said close friend Micki Greer. â€œShe produced some really good gymnasts over the years. Teri was the type coach who could be tough and her personality made the gymnasts want to do well to please her.â€? Jenkins did not miss a day in the gym until two weeks ago when was so sick and missed her only meet. She judged her last meet â€˜Tis the Splitâ€™ in Starkville on Dec. 9. â€œTeri knew it was over at that meet in Starkville,â€? said Duffey. â€œShe was in the hospital by Monday and in ICU by Thursday.â€? Marea Wilson, mother of former Jenkinsâ€™ student Olivia Wilson, said â€œA preacher once said that â€˜if you pour yourself into something, that it will outlive youâ€™ and that is true about Teri.â€?

weapons. Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said Spengler led a very quiet life after he got out of prison. A friend, Roger Vercruysse, lived next door to Spengler and recalled a man who doted on his mother, whose obituary suggested contributions to the West Webster Fire Department. â€œHe loved his mama to death,â€? said Vercruysse, who last saw his friend about six months ago. Vercruysse also said Spengler â€œcouldnâ€™t stand his sisterâ€? and â€œstayed on one side of the house and she stayed on the other.â€? The West Webster Fire District learned of the fire after a report of a car and house on fire on Lake Road, on a narrow peninsula where Irondequoit Bay meets Lake Ontario, Monroe County Sheriff Patrick Oâ€™Flynn said. Emergency radio communications capture someone saying he â€œcould see the muzzle flash coming at meâ€? as Spengler carried out his ambush. The audio posted on the website RadioReference. com has someone reporting â€œfirefighters are downâ€? and saying â€œgot to be rifle or shotgun - high powered ... semi or fully auto.â€? Two of the firefighters arrived on a fire engine and two in their own vehicles, Pickering said. After Spengler fired, one of the wounded men fled, but the other three couldnâ€™t because of flying gunfire.

Lady Rebels, Lions top 1-1A at midway point BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The reigning tournament champions top Division 1-1A at what is basically the midpoint of the season. Seven teams make up the league, with the regular-season champion earning a bye in the opening round of the tournament and an automatic berth in the North Half. The squads play a home-and-home format. Each team has played at least four league games at this point, with Thrasher halfway through its schedule. The Biggersville Lions, the Class 1A runners-up and unbeaten in league play last season, headline the boys’ group with a 5-0 mark. BHS, 12-4 overall, is a game up on Blue Mountain thanks to an 87-83 road win on Dec. 20. Thrasher holds a half-game lead over Pine Grove on the girls’ side with a 5-1 mark. The Lady Rebels won the 1-1A Tournament last season as a No. 2 seed, knocking off top-seeded Falkner in the title bout. Pine Grove is a half-game back. The Lady Panthers beat the Lady Rebels by 20 in their only meeting thus far, but dropped a two-point decision to Falkner in the division opener on Nov. 30.

The ninth edition of the Alcorn County Tournament at the Crossroads Arena tips off on Thursday, Jan. 3 with four champions to be crowned the following Saturday. Brackets were drawn last week with records through Dec. 20 used to determine the seeding.

Rebels beat Hawaii for fifth place Associated Press

HONOLULU — Murphy Holloway scored 18 points to lead Mississippi to an 81-66 win over Hawaii in the fifthplace game of the Diamond Head Classic on Tuesday. Nick Williams and Marshall Henderson scored 16 points each and Aaron Jones added 10 points for the Rebels (10-2), who pulled away in the final four minutes from a close game. Vander Joaquim led Hawaii (6-5) with 29 points and 15 rebounds. Isaac Fotu had 11 points and Christian Stanhardinger had 10 in the loss. Jones’ putback gave the Rebels the lead for good at 65-63 with 3:40 left and his emphatic, uncontested dunk made it 69-63 with 2:21 remaining. Henderson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Rebels a 25-9 lead with 8:34 left in the first half. The Rainbow Warriors responded with a 21-4 run to take a 30-29 halftime lead.

Rondo keeps his cool, leads Celtics over Nets Associated Press

NEW YORK — Rajon Rondo lost his cool, and any chance at history, in the second quarter when Boston last met Brooklyn. This time, the second period featured some of the best basketball the Celtics have played this season. Rondo scored 19 points in his first full game against the Nets this season, and the Celtics won 93-76 on Tuesday in another game with some heated moments between the division rivals. Rondo, sidelined in the first meeting and thrown out of the second after shoving Nets

forward Kris Humphries into the courtside seats, outplayed counterpart Deron Williams and helped the Celtics take control early. “We moved the ball; we rebounded the ball,” Rondo said. “They beat us pretty bad on the glass, so tonight we did an exceptional job on the glass, taking care of the defensive rebounds, and we got stops.” A month after the teams scuffled in Boston, there was another skirmish in the fourth quarter that resulted in four technical fouls. But that was the most fight the Nets put up in a disappointing perfor-

mance on the national stage of the Christmas opener. They were never in the game after the first 20 minutes, and their fans headed to the exits with under 2 minutes left as a “Let’s go Celtics!” chant broke out. “It was a big game for us. It was a division rival. We were ready for a big game. It just didn’t happen,” Williams said. Rookie Jared Sullinger tied a career high with 16 points and Jeff Green had 15 for the Celtics (14-13), who avoided falling under .500 with just their second victory in six games. The Celtics took control with a 23-5 run in the second

quarter of the opener of their four-game road trip. They had 11 assists on 13 baskets and outscored the Nets 34-18 in the period after dropping the previous two meetings. “It was good to get off to this start. It was good to finally play from start to finish, especially with the way we’ve been playing against Brooklyn,” said Paul Pierce, who had just eight points on 3-of-10 shooting. “So it was a well-balanced game, but I’m happy with the start of the trip.” Gerald Wallace and Brook Lopez each scored 15 for the Nets, who have lost four of five.

Western Kentucky, Central Michigan vying for Pizza Associated Press

DETROIT — Before the Bobby Petrino era begins at Western Kentucky, there’s a bowl game to play — the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl against Central Michigan. The game at Ford Field on Wednesday night is in Detroit, not far from the campus of the Chippewas (6-6). The Hilltoppers (7-5) will be run by interim coach Lance Guidry. Petrino’s hiring has almost

overshadowed the play of the Hilltoppers. They are in their first bowl since becoming a top-tier college football school in 2009. Petrino is returning to coaching less than a year after he was dismissed at Arkansas. He had hired his former mistress to work in the Razorbacks’ football department. Guidry, who was the team’s defensive coordinator, says his players are ready. “These kids are really hun-

gry,” Guidry said. “Really been having some great practices, although they’ve been going through a lot of different things with the head coaches.” Guidry was appointed interim coach Dec. 8, a day after Willie Taggart left to coach South Florida. Two days later, Western Kentucky hired Petrino to be Taggart’s fulltime replacement in a stunning move that didn’t seem to shake up the players much

because familiar faces were still around. “Even though Coach Taggert is gone, the coaches are still here with us,” Western Kentucky junior running back Antonio Andrews said. “They’ve been here since Day One.” Dan Enos has been leading the Chippewas since 2010. Enos was hired soon after Central Michigan played Please see PIZZA | 8A

steals in 35 minutes. Doolin, a junior guard, was 5 of 5 on free throws and had three steals and two assists and Derksen, a freshman guard, grabbed seven rebounds with two steals. San Francisco shot 42.1 percent on 3-pointers and dominated ETSU inside, with a 3821 rebounding advantage and a 24-16 edge in points in the paint. San Francisco had 13 offensive rebounds and had 13 secondchance points to ETSU’s seven. The Buccaneers committed eight of their 11 turnovers after halftime. The Buccaneers, who made just 4 of 12 free throws, were led by Jarvis Jones’ 17 points. Hunter Harris pitched in 11 points and seven rebounds for ETSU, which dropped its seventh consecutive game. ETSU (2-10), which used its 10th different starting lineup of the season, held their last lead at 15-14 just past the midway point of the first half, but the Dons outscored the Buccaneers 18-6 — including 11 points by Dickerson — to lead 32-21 at halftime. San Francisco had its biggest lead with just under 3 minutes to play following Derksen’s 3-pointer that made the score 65-45. It was the first meeting between the schools.

in and won its last postseason game, beating Troy in the GMAC Bowl with a team put together by former coach Butch Jones, who is now coaching at Tennessee. Central Michigan won its last three games this year to be eligible for a bowl. The running backs may have much to say in deciding how this game plays out. Andrews has run for 1,609 yards and 11 touchdowns this year. He’s also a receiving threat and returns kickoffs and punts. He has 2,977 all-purpose yards on the season, just 273 behind the record set by Barry Sanders. Central Michigan’s Zurlon Tipton has 1,391 yards rushing and 19 TDs, 258 yards receiving and another score. “I like that whole battle-of-thebacks thing,” Tipton said. “It’s going to be a good battle, and I’m looking forward to it.”

LOS ANGELES — The pieces of the puzzle that have been the Lakers’ confounding season so far are starting to fall into place. Kobe Bryant engineered a second-half comeback, the defense stepped up, and Los Angeles beat the New York Knicks 100-94 on Tuesday, extending its winning streak to five games. “We’re .500,” a smil-

I knew this day would come.” Bryant scored 34 points in his NBA-record 15th Christmas Day game and Metta World Peace added 20 points and seven rebounds while defending Carmelo Anthony, whose 34 points led the Knicks. Anthony said he hyperextended his left knee, but expects to play today in Phoenix.

Daytona dream almost reality

Andretti makes two?

Cup champ candidate for coveted racing trophy

ne of the most cherished awards in motorsports is the Mario Andretti Trophy, which is given to the driver selected as the SPEED Performer of the Year. A panel of 23 people from the motorsports industry, including Andretti himself, chooses the winner from a list of 16 drivers from 13 different forms of motorsports. The candidates this year are Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso from Formula One, Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner from MotoGP, Ryan Hunter-Reay from IndyCar, the NHRA’s Antron Brown, Kyle Larson from USAC and NASCAR, Sammy Swindell and Donny Schatz from the World of Outlaws, Sebastien Loeb of World Rally, Andre Lotterer of WEC, Scott Pruett of Grand-Am, Josh Hayes from AMA Pro Superbike, Ryan Villopoto from Supercross and Max Biaggi from World Superbike. Andretti said that while the list includes several series champions, one can win the trophy without winning a title. “You try to consider the individual effort,” he said, adding that choosing a winner this year was hard. “There’s a lot of talent out there, this year especially, as far as how competitive each series was.” He pointed out that the championships of most major racing series weren’t decided until the final race. “Because of that, for us, it’s not easy,” he said. “I’d gladly hand the [voting] duties to somebody else.” Andretti said Keselowski is certainly a strong candidate. “I love his attitude,” Andretti said. “He wants to win. He’s not satisfied with any-

Mario Andretti in 2009, with the trophy that bears his name. (NASCAR photo) thing less, and I like that. One thing I detest is guys that say ‘I’m good if I finish top five, top 10.’ “Winning is the ultimate. Naturally you can’t win every time, but you have to have that attitude, and he does and I like that. “And he’s shown to be a darn good little race driver.” Andretti also was impressed with how Keselowski overcame the pressure from the media, and Jimmie Johnson, on and off the track, down the stretch of the Chase. “He got it done against some odds,” Andretti said. “To me that’s the mark of a champion. When you’re under pressure and

you can think straight and control your emotions, that’s what champions are made of. People that crumble under pressure will never accomplish that. Not everybody can do that, believe me. But he demonstrated that he’s well worthy of that championship.” Andretti also liked what he saw in Kyle Larson, the 19-year-old open-wheel racer who nearly won twice in just four starts in the Camping World Truck Series and took the championship of NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series East division in his first year of racing fendered vehicles. “The kid has a heck of a record this year, just phenomenal,” Andretti said. “He’s one that we’re going to hear a lot of as we go on. Rare talents don’t come too often, and he seems to be one that has a little something extra special.” Andretti, who won his share of races in sprint cars, also appreciates the accomplishments of Sammy Swindell, who at age 57 won a series-best 13 features including the prestigious King’s Royal at Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway. He finished third in World of Outlaw points and led the circuit in heat races wins and fast qualifying times. “That turkey doesn’t know when to quit,” Andretti said. “He’s amazing. I love that guy … Here’s a guy who has been winning his entire career and keeps on winning now that he’s a grandfather.” Andretti will present the trophy, a 100pound sculpture created by bronze artist Elie Hazak, during a SPEED broadcast on Jan. 27. Previous winners include Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson from NASCAR, Sebastian Vettel from Formula One, and Tony Schumacher from the NHRA.

Martinsville Speedway promoter Clay Campbell has been going to Daytona International Speedway since he was a toddler, always dreaming that one day he’d be able to race on the hallowed high banks. “I know my way around Daytona better than I do some of the communities surrounding Martinsville,” he said. “Growing up in the business you look forward to getting to race, and as many times as I’ve been to Daytona, I’ve been inside and outside the track, just wishing I could get on the track.” Now at age 52, his dream is on the verge of coming true. Campbell, a veteran of the short tracks around his native Virginia, is set to drive the No. 08 Ford in the ARCA season opener at Daytona next February. “I go back to the Bill [France] Sr. and Annie B. [France] days, and knew a lot of the people from the ’60s to now,” he said. “I’ve seen the transformation of the sport and of Daytona International Speedway, so it’s pretty neat to finally get to do this aspect of it.” Campbell raced this season in an ARCA race at Talladega Superspeedway, Daytona’s sister track, but was caught in an early multi-car crash and didn’t get the finish he’d hoped for. Now, after a successful test at Daytona last week, he’s feeling good about his chances at Daytona. “The test went good,” he said. “Each time we went out we picked up a little bit and wound up sixth fastest overall for the weekend.” In his 25 years or so of Late Model racing, Campbell has raced and won at tracks across the Southeast, but he’s competed only once at Martinsville, the track built by his late grandfather Clay Earles. His career highlight so far was winning the Limited Late Model track championship at Caraway Speedway in 2000. But he said another big highlight, from Daytona, is not out of the question. “I think we have as good a shot at winning as anybody,” he said. “You see guys win there that don’t win anywhere else. If you have a little bit of luck on your side and stay out of trouble and work the draft ... a win is not out of the question.”

Eury begins tenure with Swan Spending a few weeks resting and deer hunting, veteran crew chief Tony Eury Jr. is back at work in NASCAR. Eury, released late in the season from JR Motorsports, where he is a coowner, is now the crew chief for the No. 30 Toyota driven in Sprint Cup by David Stremme. At his new Swan Racing team, owned by Brandon Davis, Eury will be reunited with Steve Hmiel, a former co-worker from his days at Dale Earnhardt Inc. “I am really impressed with the team Swan Racing is building and I am proud to be part of it,” Eury said in a team release. “I am looking forward to working with David Stremme behind the wheel and with competition director Steve Hmiel.” Hmiel also had praise for Eury. “Tony Jr. has pretty much done it all from tire changer to crew chief,” he said. “His experience and knowledge will be pivotal to the success of Swan Racing.”

’67 Daytona win launched Andretti to racing trifecta NUMERICALLY Of the 109 major races that Mario Andretti won in his illustrious driving career, few could compare with his victory in the 1967 Daytona 500. That victory, his only NASCAR triumph in just 14 career starts, set the stage for him to become the only driver to win the Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500, which he won in 1969, and a Formula One championship, in 1978. It also gave him wins in Formula One, IndyCar, World Sportscar Championship and NASCAR. Only two drivers, Andretti and Dan Gurney, have ever done that. Current Sprint Cup driver Juan Pablo Montoya, like Andretti, has won in NASCAR, Formula One and has an Indy 500 victory. Andretti got his chance to drive at Daytona because in 1967 he was a part of Ford Motor Company’s motorsports team. “I was basically a Ford driver in Indy car,” he said. “I had Ford engines.” Andretti also drove sports cars for Ford, at Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring, where he won the 12 Hours of Sebring with co-driver Bruce McLaren just weeks after his Daytona win. For the Daytona 500, Andretti, then just 26 years old, was assigned to the powerful HolmanMoody team, where he would be a teammate to one of the sport’s top stars, Fred Lorenzen. “Obviously it was a good team,” Andretti said. “The best part was Ralph Moody [a team coowner] took my project on himself.” Moody chose the crafty crew chief Jake Elder to prepare Andretti’s No. 11 Ford. “Out of the gate my car was handling very

nicely,” Andretti recalled. “I really liked it, but we didn’t have a good motor. They were not giving me the best motors. I was not going for points.” After qualifying, Andretti began to turn the heat up on his team to give him a better engine. “I started making noise, and they finally gave me a decent motor,” he said. “I was seeing revs I hadn’t seen before. I was scuffing tires faster than Curtis Turner ran to win the pole.” From that point on, Andretti felt good about his chances in the 500. Andretti started the race from 12th place and took the lead for the first time on Lap 23. While some in the field that day were satisfied to run in the draft and save their equipment for the finish, Andretti wanted to be out front, in large part because he was racing with a shorter rear spoiler than he would have liked. “In those days you had to race with the spoiler you qualified with,” he said. “Because I had such a weak motor, I had a lower spoiler, and I had to race with it. “I confused these guys a little bit. Early on in the race nobody was really aggressive; they weren’t wanting to go for the lead, but I had to go for the lead because I was way too loose when I was following other cars. “They said: ‘OK, kid, you go.’” Andretti was leading late in the race when he and Lorenzen made their final stops for fuel. At that point, the two Ford drivers were the only ones on the lead lap, and with none of today’s lucky dog free pass or wave-around rules in

place, it was unlikely that any competitor could overtake them. Andretti’s pit stop was slow, allowing Lorenzen to take the lead. Andretti maintains to this day that the delay on his stop was intentional as the Ford executives at the track wanted Lorenzen, a NASCAR regular, to win the sport’s biggest race. “They held me back for at least seven seconds,” Andretti said. “They wanted him to win.” Whatever the case, the bottom line was that Andretti left pit road a mad, motivated driver. “I hunted him down,” Andretti said of Lorenzen. “I didn’t blame him. I was just faster. I passed him, but he hung on to me really hard. I couldn’t shake him.” In that era of racing and the way the draft worked with those cars, the driver running out front usually was a sitting duck at the finish. Then, as the lead duo came up to lap the Ford of Tiny Lund, Andretti pulled a surprise move. “Tiny motioned me to go to the right, and he pulled to the center of the backstretch,” Andretti said. “I all of a sudden went to the left, and I confused Freddie. He couldn’t figure out what had happened. “When I came out on the other side of Tiny, I broke the draft and Freddie never could catch me.” Andretti built a 22-second lead before Richard Petty blew an engine and the final two laps were run under caution. “It worked out for me,” Andretti said. “Once I broke the draft he couldn’t catch me.”

Gunfire kills many young children across US BY SUZANNE GAMBOA AND MONIKA MATHUR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Before 20 first-graders were massacred at school by a gunman in Newtown, Conn., first-grader Luke Schuster, 6, was shot to death in New Town, N.D. Six-year-olds John Devine Jr. and Jayden Thompson were similarly killed in Kentucky and Texas. Veronica Moser-Sullivan, 6, died in a mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., while 6-year-old Kammia Perry was slain by her father outside her Cleveland home, according to an Associated Press review of 2012 media reports. Yet there was no gunman on the loose when Julio Segura-McIntosh died in Tacoma, Wash. The 3-year-old accidentally shot himself in the head while playing with a gun he found inside a car. As he mourned with the families of Newtown, President Barack Obama said the nation cannot accept such violent deaths of children as routine. But hundreds of young child deaths by gunfire — whether intentional or accidental — suggest it

might already have. Between 2006 and 2010, 561 children under 12 were killed by firearms, according to the FBI’s most recent Uniform Crime Reports. The numbers each year are consistent: 120 in 2006; 115 in 2007; 116 in 2008, 114 in 2009 and 96 in 2010. The FBI’s count does not include gunrelated child deaths that authorities have ruled accidental. “This happens on way too regular a basis and it affects families and communities — not at once, so we don’t see it and we don’t understand it as part of our national experience,” said Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. The true number of small children who died by gunfire in 2012 won’t be known for a couple of years, when official reports are collected and dumped into a database and analyzed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects to release its 2011 count in the spring. In response to what happened in Newtown, the National Rifle Association, the nation’s larg-

est gun lobby, suggested shielding children from gun violence by putting an armed police officer in every school by the time classes resume in January. “Politicians pass laws for gun-free school zones ... They post signs advertising them and in doing so they tell every insane killer in America that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk,” said NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre. Webster said children are more likely to die by gunfire at home or in the street. They tend to be safer when they are in school, he said. None of the 61 deaths reviewed by The Associated Press happened at school. Children die by many other methods as well: violent stabbings or throat slashings, drowning, beating and strangulation. But the gruesome recounts of gun deaths, sometimes just a few paragraphs in a newspaper or on a website, a few minutes on television or radio, bear witness that firearms too, are cutting short many youngsters’

lives. One week before the Newtown slayings, Alyssa Celaya, 8, bled to death after being shot by her father with a .38-caliber gun at the Tule River Indian Reservation in California. Her grandmother and two brothers also were killed, a younger sister and brother were shot and wounded. The father shot and killed himself amid a hail of gunfire from officers. Delric Miller’s life ended at 9 months and Angel Mauro Cortez Nava’s at 14 months. Delric was in the living room of a home on Detroit’s west side Feb. 20 when someone sprayed it with gunfire from an AK47. Other children in the home at the time were not injured. Angel was cradled in his father’s arms on a sidewalk near their home in Los Angeles when a bicyclist rode by on June 4 and opened fire, killing the infant. Gun violence and the toll it is taking on children has been an issue raised for years in minority communities. The NAACP failed in its attempt to hold gun makers accountable through

from firing. But even people trained in gun use slip up — and the mistakes are costly. A Springville, Utah, police officer had a nonservice gun in his home that officials said did not have external safeties. His 2-year-old son found the gun and shot himself on Sept. 11. The names of the father and son were not released at the time of the shooting. Obama has tapped Vice President Joe Biden to shape the administration’s response to the Newtown massacre. The administration will push to tighten gun laws, many that have faced resistance in Congress for years. The solutions may include reinstating a ban on assault-style rifles, closing gun buying background check loopholes and restricting high-capacity magazines. Those may have limited effect for children like Amari Markel-Purrel Perkins, of Clinton, Md. He shot himself in the chest on April 9 with a gun that an adult had stashed inside a Spiderman backpack. Like most of the child victims at Newtown, Amari was 6.

a lawsuit filed in 1999. Some in the community raised the issue during the campaign and asked Obama after he was reelected to make reducing gun violence, particularly as a cause of death for young children, part of his second-term agenda. This year’s gun deaths reviewed by the AP show the problem is not confined to the inner city or is simply the result of gang or drug violence, as often is the perception. Faith Ehlen, 22 months, Autumn Cochran, 10, and Alyssa Cochran, 11, all died Sept. 6. Their mother killed them with the shotgun before turning it on herself. Police said she had written a goodbye email to her boyfriend before killing the children in DeSoto, Mo., a community of about 6,300. Many of the children who died in 2012 were shot with guns that belonged to their parents, relatives or baby sitters, or were simply in the home. Webster said children’s accidental deaths by guns have fallen since states passed laws requiring that guns be locked away from youths or have safeties to keep them

fident it will dive ever deeper. Next summer he plans to take his invention to other lakes in the region, in search of clear, deep waters. The sub is roughly 17 feet long, 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. It weighs in at a massive 6,500 pounds. Earlier in the construction process, Waterman was concerned that weight was an issue. All the structural elements were in place, and the submarine weighed over 3,000 pounds. Its builder thought the sub would sink like a rock when it hit the water. But this was not the case. Waterman built a giant square tank next to his home on Magnolia Drive to use as a test laboratory for the sub. He knew the sub had to find neutral buoyancy, to sit in the water just right, with the waterline in the right place. At first the sub “floated like a beer can.” So he added weight and took notes. About 50 days and 3,500 pounds later, Waterman’s sub was sitting pretty in the tank. “It’s a monster,” he said. “But it is amazingly stable in the water.” With the right weight in place, the submarine’s cab

Glen Waterman On his submarine

Corinth resident Glen Waterman designed and built this submarine over a period of 15 years. sits right above the water line (before the sub dives, that is) and the sub is tipped with a round bubble observation window in the nose — complete with two high-power spotlights to help Waterman get a look at the fish and other underwater creatures. Getting to know that underwater world is one of Waterman’s favorite parts of the experience. He often brings a bag of fish food on his treks

around the lake. He likes to kill the engines, toss food in front of the submarine and watch as the fish rush in for dinner. The longtime auto body man designed the vessel himself and built it by hand, without assistance from any kind of blueprints or plans or research into submarine design and history. “I just figured out what it needed to do in my head,” he explained. “I

built it from my head. That’s what blows people’s minds.” The smoothly rounded hull of the sub is the final product of many hours of welding. The front third alone is made of 54 pieces of metal. “There’s no telling how much welding it took to get it this strong and this shape,” said Waterman. Along the way he also had to invent some items that he needed for the sub-

marine to work, like the device he uses to pump carbon dioxide out and oxygen in. Waterman said the experience sometime made him feel like he was building a spaceship. Waterman’s submarine is proving to be an attention grabber, he said. Whether it’s when the sub is being hauled on his trailer or making laps in Big Hill Pond State Park, it certainly gets the looks. In the first two days he tested the craft in Big Hill Pond, back in August, roughly 150 people showed up to get a look at the unconventional machine. “There were so many people standing on the dock that the dock started going under,” he recalled. “Talk about drawing a crowd!” For the time being, Waterman is looking forward to warm weather, the summer months when he can continue to test and perfect his submarine.

Homemade beer faces Catch-22 Associated Press

JACKSON — Catch-22 would be a good name for beer brewed at home in Mississippi. The attorney general says home-brewing is legal in the state with a permit from the Department of Revenue. But here’s the catch: State tax officials say the law doesn’t allow permits specifically for home-brewers. There are permits for commercial brewers and brewpubs, each running $1,000. And home-brewers arguably would also owe an excise tax of 42.68 cents for each gallon of beer brewed. Breaking the law is a misdemeanor that carries fines of up to $500 and jail time of up to six months. The upshot is that Rep. David Baria, D-Bay St. Louis, says he’s likely to introduce a bill in the 2013 Legislature to exempt home-brewers from permits and excise taxes. Craig Hendry, president of beer advocacy group Raise Your Pints, said his members are hopeful that legal issues around home-brewing will be cleared up.

Winter cassia brings profusion of blooms Every year, I look forward to the time when winter cassia begins blooming. The tropical-looking flowers are sure to create winter interest wherever they are planted in the landscape. Winter cassia is one of those plants with showstopping qualities, especially considering its prolific blooms in the winter. Their effect is heightened because the brightly colored blooms seem to appear all of a sudden out of nowhere. Beginning in November, winter cassiaâ€™s golden-yellow flowers are displayed in spike-like clusters, each with up to

12 individual blossoms. Each flower has five petals, and the curved shapes of the stamens and pistils add to the landscape in-

terest. Flower clusters form toward the ends of the slender branches. Sometimes the flower production is so heavy that the branches are pulled down, giving plants a vase-shaped form. This effect is accentuated after a rain or heavy dew.

The prolific flower production also makes winter cassia a must for the butterfly garden. Many late-season butterflies enjoy the flowers as much as home gardeners do. Winter cassiaâ€™s compound foliage is interesting and consists of three to five pairs of oval-shaped leaflets. The foliage is a deep green in the summer, but falling temperatures turn these leaflets a greenish-yellow. While the leaf shape and color do have landscape interest, winter cassia primarily fills in garden gaps and provides a consistent backdrop for more showy summer plants. Because of the growth habit of winter cassia, the base of the shrub often can look a little bare. Planting underneath this shrub with flowering annuals or reliable flowering perennials will create interest until winter cassiaâ€™s late-fall explosion of color. Plant in the full sun to be rewarded with the best flower production. Be sure to select a location with good drainage, as winter cassia does not like wet feet. A raised bed is the solution for many less-than-ideal garden soil conditions. While overwatering causes problems, so will under-watering. Winter cassia does not tolerate drought conditions very well. Consistent garden soil moisture is key to optimum plant growth. Each spring, top dress with good-quality compost or sprinkle a handful of controlled-release fertilizer to keep your winter cassia healthy.

Each spike-like cluster of winter cassiaâ€™s golden yellow flowers has up to 12 individual blossoms. Flowers have five petals, and the curved shapes of the stamens and pistils add landscape interest. Flower clusters of winter cassia form toward the ends of the slender branches. Flower production can be so heavy that shrubs can be pulled into a vase-shaped form.

Winter cassia should be considered a hardy perennial into at least zone 8, where it will freeze back and regrow the following spring. Once temperatures start to cool, apply a layer of pine straw mulch around the base of

the plant to help provide insulation. The winter season can be dry, so water once a month if there has not been much rainfall. This is a good practice for winter cassia and all of our landscape trees and

shrubs in the winter. (Daily Corinthian columnist Dr. Gary Bachman is an associate Extension research professor of horticulture at the Coastal Research and Extension Center in Biloxi.)

Man’s love for sexy lips draws reaction DEAR ABBY: Please help save my marriage. My wife of five years discovered an Internet browser history of 13 Web pages I had clicked on the previous day. The pages were of women’s sexy lips. My wife is calling it “porn” and a “gateway to porn.” I feel guilty about it, but I told her it isn’t pornography. I think it’s a fetish. She says I’m using that word to get off the hook. Will you please tell her that this probably is a fetish? Our sex life has not been the same since she discovered the images on the computer. What can we do about it in a way that will strengthen our marriage? — NOT GUILTY AS CHARGED DEAR NOT GUILTY: It’s a shame you and your wife hadn’t discussed what turns you on before she checked your browser history. A fetish is any object that turns someone on, and it can range from large breasts, to stiletto heels,

to leather or rubber items of clothing, to full red lips. It is not porAbigail n o g r a Van Buren phy. A Dear Abby way to strengthen your marriage would be for you to buy her a tube of bright red lipstick. And a way for her to improve your sex life would be to put it on. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 13-year-old girl with a sister and a brother. I was recently told by my dad that I have to teach my brother how to read, but the problem is he has a learning disability and a behavior disorder. I don’t know how I’m supposed to teach him to read, and it scares me. On top of that, my dad got mad at my sister and me and said that when we were younger we were just like my brother, only worse. He said he was close to giving up on us.

Sometimes Dad says we’re worthless, stupid and asks why we’re even in this world. He says we’re not good for anything. I have a slight form of autism, so I’m sort of slow doing certain things other kids do at my age. I feel like I’ll never be as smart as anyone else, and I have no clue how I’m going to teach my disabled brother to read. Help! — LOST, ALONE AND WORRIED IN URBANA, ILL. DEAR LOST: It would be wonderful if you could teach your learning disabled brother how to read, but you are not equipped to do that. Your brother should be in a special education class with a teacher who has the specialized training — and, possibly, a tutor. Sometimes, when parents are extremely stressed or angry they can say things they don’t mean without thinking of the lasting effect their words can have on a child. You are neither worthless nor stupid. You are an intelligent girl. Frankly, your father appears to be in need of some help, and I hope you will share with a counselor at your

school what you have told me. DEAR ABBY: My 13-year-old son is refusing to wear a bicycle helmet because he has decided it’s “uncool.” My husband and I have always worn them, but here in Texas many people don’t. There’s no state law requiring it. I know how devastating the effects of a head injury can be and I want to prevent my son from getting one. How can I help my teenager see that protecting his brain is more important than looking “cool” to his friends who don’t wear them? My son insists I am ... AN OVERPROTECTIVE MOM. DEAR OVERPROTECTIVE MOM: Contact your son’s pediatrician and ask if he or she can facilitate a tour of a rehabilitation facility that treats people with traumatic brain injuries. If that doesn’t convince your son, nothing will. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS A sextile of Saturn and Pluto brings home the major themes of this Boxing Day, a day when bosses serve employees and when those who have give to those who have not. Though the standards of living have vastly improved since the Middle Ages when this tradition started, the needy are still among us. Mars in Aquarius urges your generosity. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Information is more readily available now than it ever has been in any other time period. But wisdom can’t be Googled. It has to be legitimately earned, which is how you’ll come by it today. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Today highlights the difference between caution and fear. This can be a very slight and personal difference that each individual must detect for him or herself. GEMINI (May 21June 21). You prefer the company of people who let you finish the sentences you start, but that’s not always the case. You’ll be exposed to a wide variety of people, and you may have to assert yourself in order to hold your own. CANCER (June 22July 22). Just because you’re not talking to someone at the moment doesn’t mean you’ve lost the connection. Silence and space between people who share a strong affinity often signifies a strong bond, not a deficit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll experience a merging of languages: the language of the senses, the language of emotions, the language of thoughts. You’ll create beauty by interpreting and interweaving many ways of communicating. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you spend time with people, you are also spending time with the remnants of their history, especially the childhood parts involving their family system. Knowing this, you should try not to take any of it too seriously. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll rally for justice in a situation that hasn’t exactly been fair for a long time. Progress may be slow, but slow is better than letting everything stay stuck. Your work won’t be in vain. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You’re often more comfortable one-

on-one than in a group, and today’s circumstances will prove it. You’ll expertly read someone’s body language and be most influential as a result. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll bring spontaneity to a group scenario, and those who follow your lead are sure to have a good time. But there’s also something tangible you hope to accomplish. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This will be a surprisingly productive day. Stress can be highly motivating. You’ll take the tension you feel and pour it into an activity that requires a heightened energy level to complete. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). When the timing is right, you will hit the jackpot you want. But for now, look around at the jackpot you already have. It’s pretty great. The more you appreciate it the better you feel. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll find a wonderful bit of decadence set aside just for you, but indulge with caution. Like a rich dessert, the first few bites are the best. Go too far, and a heavy feeling sets in, followed by regret. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 26). The year starts in a swirl of mystery and excitement. One relationship stands out, and strong emotions will change your experience of daily life. Then February brings a development that lends practical assistance to one of your plans. A bonus comes in August. An unforgettable journey starts in September. Aquarius and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 14, 34 and 16. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Humorist and bestselling author David Sedaris was born when the sun and Mercury were in ambitious Capricorn and the moon and Neptune were in insightful, soulful Scorpio. Sedaris, who was discovered by NPR’s Ira Glass while reading his diary to a rapt audience in a small Chicago nightclub, now sells out large venues of devoted fans eager to hear his next story.

Modern Woodmen of America

Today is Wednesday, Dec. 26, the 361st day of 2012. There are five days left in the year. The seven-day African-American holiday Kwanzaa begins today. This is Boxing Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 26, 1972, the 33rd president of the United States, Harry S. Truman, died in Kansas City, Mo., at age 88. On this date: In 1776, the British suffered a defeat in the Battle of Trenton during the Revolutionary War. In 1799, former President George Washington was eulogized by Col. Henry Lee as “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” In 1862, 38 Santee Sioux Indians were hanged in Mankato, Minn., for their roles in an uprising that had claimed the lives of hundreds of white settlers. The Civil War Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, resulting in a Confederate victory, began in Mississippi. In 1910, the London

Palladium, Britain’s famous variety theater, first opened. In 1941, during World War II, Winston Churchill became the first British prime minister to address a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress. In 1944, during the World War II Battle of the Bulge, the embattled U.S. 101st Airborne Division in Bastogne, Belgium, was relieved by units of the 4th Armored Division. In 1966, Kwanzaa was first celebrated. In 1980, Iranian television footage was broadcast in the United States, showing a dozen of the American hostages sending messages to their families. In 1996, 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family’s home in Boulder, Colo. (To date, the slaying remains unsolved.) In 2006, former President Gerald R. Ford died in Rancho Mirage, Calif., at age 93. Ten years ago: It was announced that West

Virginia resident Jack Whittaker Jr. had won the $314.9 million Powerball lottery jackpot, at that time a record prize. Five years ago: Six people were found dead at a rural property east of Seattle; the property owners’ daughter and her boyfriend were arrested. (Michele Anderson and Joseph McEnroe face capital murder charges in the shootings of three generations of

Anderson’s family.) One year ago: Dr. Luis Bonilla, a heart surgeon from a Mayo Clinic in Florida flying across the northern corner of the state to retrieve a heart for transplant, was killed with two other people when their helicopter crashed. Drew Brees set the NFL record for yards passing in a season, breaking a mark that Dan Marino had held since 1984.

â€˜Mewwy Crimmaâ€™ from the smiling Percy and me BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Often, a handicapped person is capable of showing love in ways far above the abilities of normal people, and in turn is loved much by those receiving his love. On the Mississippi Delta cotton plantation I managed for two decades, Percy, a little black boy with an ever-present gaptoothed smile, was loved much among the workingmen. Slightly lame in one leg, he garbled words, and was not quite a hundred percent mentally. What we loved most

about him was that he was incapable of complaining. He just wanted to be with us when we headed to the fields each day, and we wouldnâ€™t think of leaving without him. On those days, Percy spent most of his time in my pickup. He loved flipping among radio stations until he recognized a tune, and would sing along. Although his words were incomprehensible, his singing voice was so beautiful that we often stopped working to listen. On spring days when planting was in full tilt, Percy would ride a while

with one tractor driver, and then with another. When he got tired, heâ€™d lie in the rear of the pickup, basking in the warm sun, and sleep so soundly that even the roar of machinery didnâ€™t awaken him. Dad, my boss, felt that knocking off for lunch was out of the question. â€œKeep everything rolling from sunup to sundown, son,â€? heâ€™d say. â€œWe canâ€™t waste a minute if we want to come out with a good crop. Until the last bale of cotton is ginned and the equipment stored, farm work never stops.â€? So, Iâ€™d go to Tony Fratesiâ€™s store

just down the road, and buy boxed lunches for everyone, including Percy. Around noon, he would ask, â€œIs we go tuh Missah Tony stoâ€™, Ju,â€? heâ€™d garble. (The hands called me Junior, but the best Percy could muster was Ju.) â€œYep,â€? Iâ€™d answer. â€œTony might be cooking catfish today.â€? The kid loved fried catfish. When we arrived, folks from other farms spoke to Percy, patted him on his head, and gave him candy. He was just what he wanted to be: one of the guys. When we walked into the store, heâ€™d shout, â€œMis-

sah Tony, Ju wone lunks fuh de mens.â€? Tony would nod as I held up fingers for the number of lunches needed. When we returned to the farm, Percy would hand out the meals. Each man got more than food â€” he got that beloved gap-toothed smile. Christmas was Percyâ€™s favorite time of the year. I would often take him to town at night, and weâ€™d ride around, looking at all the decorations. If he saw Santa Claus outlined in colored lights, Percy would sing his favorite Yuletide song: â€œHe come Sanna Claw, he come

Sanna Clawâ€Ś.â€? One Christmas I gave him a gift that he cherished above all others: a baseball cap. What he gave me in return was priceless: a big smile and a hug. Then he said, â€œMewwy Crimma, Ju.â€? From Percy and me to everyone: Mewwy Crimma! (Daily Corinthian columnist and Oxford resident Jimmy Reed is a newspaper columnist, author and college professor.
