Police arrest 3 for armed robbery Dollar General employee faces conspiracy charge as part of robbery plan and Paul Allen Downer, 24, of Purdy Road, Selmer, Tenn.

Both were jailed in McNairy County.

Detective Capt. Ralph Dance said the robbery happened around 10 p.m. Saturday while Smith, the store clerk, was kneeling in front of the open store safe. A man wearing a black ski mask and brandishing a handgun entered the store, approached the clerk and left with cash from the safe. “He was out the door within just a few seconds,� said Dance.

BY JEBB JOHNSTON An employee of the store is one of three people charged in robbery of the Dollar General on Shiloh Road late Saturday.

Jessica Paige Smith, 33, of Highway 57, Ramer, Tenn., was charged on Sunday with conspiracy to commit armed robbery for her role in the setup.

She was released on Monday after posting $5,000 bond.

Charged with armed robbery are George Atkins Jr., 31, of Purdy Road, Selmer, Tenn.,

Dollar General’s internal investigation and the police department investigation found the story suspicious when comparing it to the surveillance video footage. Dance said Smith admitted her involvement and gave up the name of an accomplice, Atkins, with whom she set up the robbery. The investigation found that the two exchanged text messages on Saturday about when and how someone should come into the store and rob her.

McNairy County law enforce-

ment picked up Atkins, who identified Downer as another accomplice. He was the man who came into the store and is apparently not acquainted with Smith.

Some of the money, which the three had split among themselves, has been recovered. “She gave back a portion that had not been spent,� said Dance.

He said the men are being held in McNairy County on another Dollar General robbery that occurred in that county.

For William McMullin, working in Corinth has truly been a labor of love.

He is a man of considerable complexity and depth. For over 30 years, McMullin has served his community in some form or fashion. “I am not an artist, but I try and support the arts,� McMullin explained.

As a member of the Corinth Music Club, he has helped promote music in the area and given the public the opportunity to experience classical and pop music at no cost. His enthusiasm was contagious as he related his experiences with Corinth Theatre-Arts.

“To see the expression on their face when Santa comes in is super,” said Weeden.

Teachers from the school recommend those in need for the day of shopping.

“Children the teachers see in need of assistance

are added to a list,”said the club president.

According to the members, most children come looking for clothes for a sibling.

“At an early age, they understand the meaning of giving,” said Weeden.

“This is all worth it,” added Miller. “The kids have a ball.”

front of Waldron Street Church and captivated audiences with his colorful and interesting tales.

An avid fan of literature, music, art, history and theatre, he expressed his excitement over “A Hollow Crown”, a new modern Shakespeare series that had just arrived at the library.

“You can’t get it just yet,” McMullin added.

“I have it checked out,” mused the director of the Northeast Regional library.

A pianist for 25 years at Waldron Street Baptist Church, he has enjoyed playing for his fellow church members. He also sings in the choir and at times, has directed it. McMullin earned his Master’s degree in Library Science from Loui-

siana State University and moved to Corinth to accept a job at the Corinth Library where he has worked for 38 years.

In 2005, McMullin became the director of the library and oversees 13 branches in four counties: Alcorn, Prentiss, Tippah and Tishomingo.

He described himself as an “optimistic” person.

“If there is a job to do, I try to do it,” said McMullin. “I encourage people to do their best.”

A regular patron of the Corinth Artist Guild, McMullin enjoys the visual arts. He proudly displays his pottery in his office, for others to enjoy. He admitted he was sad when Sperro Pottery closed its doors and he was always excited to see

their pieces.

An advocate for health, he walks downtown almost every day and encourages others to do so.

When asked about his other passions he said, “I am a gardening fanatic.

Corinth has some beautiful gardens. It’s so wonderful for me to think that some places have been rescued and transformed from something unsightly to something of great beauty.”

The garden next to the Coliseum, Trail Head Park and the Fillmore Street Chapel are a few examples he believes showcase the revival of Corinth’s gardens. He also enjoys rescuing plants and often leads gardening tours so others can view the city’s hidden horticultural jewels.

which tore the country apart in the 1850s and 60s and the Reconstruction period that followed the war.

In addition, many civilians and veterans wanted to pay tribute to the bravery of Civil War soldiers, both North and South alike.

Shiloh was one of the first five military parks created, along with Chickamauga, Vicksburg,

Antietam and Gettysburg.

Since its founding, not only has Shiloh Battlefield preserved the ground of the first major fight of the Civil War, it has also had far reaching effects on the local economy, providing numerous jobs as a mainstay on Hardin County tourism.

The Shiloh National Military Park visitor center is open daily

from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. The only exceptions being on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The park’s bookstore is open from 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. during the winter season.

“I played Dr. Watson in their production of ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’,” said McMullin. “I also was in a quartet for ‘Music Man’.”

Though he no longer performs, he admitted that he certainly enjoyed the experience.

McMullin is also fond of story telling. As part of LINKS architectural tour, he donned a top hat and dressed in 1850’s style attire in order to transport the 4th, 5th and 6th grade students he entertained and to provide them with an accurate sense of what life was like back then. On the tour, the date of each building was reflected by the costume of the tour guide. McMullin stood in

Trading baseballs for bells For the Daily Corinthian

Since 1891, the red kettle of the Salvation Army has been collecting funds for those in need during the holiday season.

In 2013, the Kossuth High School baseball team decided to partake in the spirit of charity. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. last Saturday at Walmart, Coach Trave Hopkins and members of his baseball squad rang the bells for the Salvation Army at the front door -for the first time. “Well, we got a great group of kids on our team and their parents who are all very supportive of everything we do, and this was no exception,� Hopkins said. “We have always went out and raised money for our program but, never anything like this. This will teach these boys some humility and we can all learn something from this experience.�

Hopkins said they were glad to be a part of being able to raise money for some families who are facing hard times this Christmas.

The Salvation Army was started for this very

reason over 122 years ago in San Francisco.

Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee was distraught because so many poor individuals in San Francisco were going hungry. During the holiday season, he resolved to provide a free Christmas dinner for the destitute and poverty-stricken. He only had one major hurdle to overcome -- funding the project. As he pondered the issue, his thoughts drifted back to his sailor days in Liverpool, England. He remembered how at Stage Landing, where the boats came in, there was a large, iron kettle called “Simpson’s Pot� into which passersby tossed a coin or two to help the poor.

Six years later, the kettle idea spread from the West coast to the Boston area. The rest is history.

Being a part of this history is something the KHS baseball team wanted to feel like it was a part of.

Blake Cain, a senior shortstop for the Aggies, said, “I think it’s a good thing and I definitely am proud to be a part

of doing this today. We wanted to show our community we are not just Kossuth baseball, however, we want to show folks what real love is.

It goes beyond the game of baseball, and that we really do care about this area, especially this time of the year.�

Sophomore second baseman Reed Mitchell echoed his teammates’ response about volunteering their time. “I love it, this is awesome,� said Mitchell. “Blake [Cain] is right, we aren’t just Kossuth baseball but we are a team that wants to be involved in the community. We want to help out in anyway possible. That’s why we came out here today, and it feels great.�

The Kossuth baseball team rotated two to four players out every 30 minutes on Saturday to make sure everyone got involved, according to Hopkins. “We have the kids on shifts, and they all will get a chance to enjoy this wonderful experience here with the bells and the kettle,� Hopkins concluded.

Comics changes Daily Corinthian readers will soon see some changes in the daily and Sunday comics lineup.

Changes will begin daily on Jan.1 and with the Sunday, Jan. 5 comics.

New daily comics will be Hi & Lois, Pickles and Fort Knox. Daily comics which will continue include B.C., Blondie, Beetle Bailey, Wizard of Id, Garfield and Dilbert.

This is our final column to answer the question above-and, again, the question is correctly worded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When did?â&#x20AC;?, not â&#x20AC;&#x153;When will?â&#x20AC;?.

All the prophecies about the coming of the everlasting kingdom of God converge on and in Acts, chapter 2. The Roman kings ruled the earthly kingdom; the heavenly kingdom was â&#x20AC;&#x153;at handâ&#x20AC;? to John the baptizer and Jesus the Christ; it was in the lifetime of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contemporaries; Peter had a prominent role in its beginning; it was in Jerusalem; and it came with the power of the Holy Spirit. All this happened precisely as the passages weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already looked at said it would.

On the first Pentecost after the resurrection of Christ, Peter said that the Father raised up Christ (past tense), set Him on the spiritual â&#x20AC;&#x153;throne of Davidâ&#x20AC;? (past tense), and Christ began His reign (past tense) over the kingdom/church at the right hand of His Father (Acts 2:29-36). A moment later Peter used the â&#x20AC;&#x153;keysâ&#x20AC;? and told people how to get into the kingdom/ church (Acts 2:37-38). Those who gladly received the word of God obeyed it and the Lord added them to His kingdom/church (Acts 2:41,47).

Paul and other first century Christians rejoiced to be in the kingdom by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.â&#x20AC;? (Colossians 1:13-14) Again~ notice that â&#x20AC;&#x153;deliveredâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;translatedâ&#x20AC;? are past tense.

You understand now that Christ has been reigning over His kingdom for about 1980 years. So, the next time you hear someone twist Revelation 20 to suggest that Christ is going to set up a phvsical kingdom on earth for 1,000 years, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled-you know the truth of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word.

When Christ comes again, He is NOT going to set up a kingdom, He is going to â&#x20AC;&#x153;deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Fatherâ&#x20AC;? The Word says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must (continue to) reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.â&#x20AC;? (I Corinthians 15:23-25, parenthesis mine)

It’s just one that he himself lobbied for, signed and lost a house of Congress over. Even Henry David Thoreau would be hard-pressed to understand this one.

The famous dissenter refused to pay a tax because of his opposition to the Mexican-American War and slavery; presumably, though, he would have been willing to comply with the provisions of called ThoreauCare.

Rich something President Obama is in a much Lowry more awkward spot. At every National turn, he is confronted by the irReview rationalities and inconveniences of his own health-care law. Not since Cary Grant was chased by the crop-duster in “North by Northwest” has there been such an affecting scene of a man constantly on the run. The president’s tools of evasion are waivers, deadline extensions, reinterpretations and last-minute demands on insurance companies. Really, any means necessary.

Coordination with the insurance companies is dispensed with, and public notice is spotty.

Announcements are sometimes made at night, when everyone eagerly awaits the latest news on how American health insurance will work.

It was around 9 p.m. that the administration let it be known that it was partially suspending the individual mandate in 2014 by exempting people who have had their insurance policies canceled. It didn’t even publicly announce its one-day extension of the deadline to get insurance by Jan. 1. This is not just government by diktat, but government by embarrassed diktat.

Understandably, since the administration has a lot to be embarrassed about, it long ago stopped caring about coherence. After the latest big change, the individual mandate applies to you, except if it doesn’t. It is absolutely essential to the functioning of the law, except when it isn’t. The law is a Great Leap Forward for the cause of social justice. But it is also a hardship.

That was the justification for this new dispensation from on high. It had to be issued to accommodate the unfortunate event described by the administration as “your current health-insurance policy is being canceled and you consider other available policies unaffordable” -- in other words, the inherent logic of the law. The president had previously announced that the administration would decline to enforce its own rules causing those cancellations. When that proved ineffectual, it went further. The smart betting is that this partial suspension of the individual mandate next year will eventually be followed by a full suspension.

The administration’s previous on-the-fly change, about a week earlier, had the same desperate feel. It issued a series of new demands on insurance companies. As Yuval Levin, editor of the journal National Affairs, summarized the edict, it asked them “to pay claims for consumers who haven’t paid their premiums, to treat out-of-network doctors and hospitals as though they were in-network, and to pay for prescription drugs not actually covered by the plans they offer.”

The point of all this is simply to live until tomorrow. To avoid the worst consequences of the catastrophically poor design of the law, to give frightened Democrats some cover, to temporize and hope something turns up. Needless to say, we aren’t talking about some obscure piece of uncontroversial legislation that, because it got so little notice, was poorly crafted. This is the president’s signature law. That its implementation is so shot through with panicked, poorly conceived improvisation is -- to use a favorite word of its supporters upon its passage -- historic.

It’s as if Teddy Roosevelt dreaded the consequences of the Pure Food and Drug Act. Or if Franklin Delano Roosevelt repeatedly tried to wiggle out of the Social Security Act. Or Lyndon Baines Johnson shot the Civil Rights Act through with ad hoc, after-the-fact exemptions.

At his end-of-the-year press conference, President Obama hoped for a better 2014. But come Jan. 1, Obamacare will still loom, and he will, no doubt, have to find new, yet more inventive ways to try to escape.

Prayer for today Lord God of life, give me the desire to learn, and the wisdom to live in my best. May I not fail to culture my mind and heart and make life productive and worthy. Help me to see the mistakes that I have made in the past, and in the year that is approaching not only try to avoid them, but try to make amends for them. Amen.

Christmastime and the family structure Christmastime is an occasion for families to come together. But the family is not what it used to be, as my former American Enterprise Institute colleague Nick Schulz argues in his short AEI book “Home Economics: The Consequences of Changing Family Structure.”

It's a subject that many people are uncomfortable with. “Everyone either is or knows and has a deep personal connection to someone who is divorced, cohabiting, or gay,” Schulz writes. “Great numbers of people simply want to avoid awkward talk of what are seen as primarily personal issues or issues of individual morality.”

Nonetheless, it is an uncomfortable truth that children of divorce and children with unmarried parents tend to do much worse in life than children of two-parent families. (I'll leave aside the sensitive issue of children of same-sex marriages, since these haven't existed in a nonstigmatized atmosphere long enough to produce measurable results.)

As Schulz points out, that uncomfortable truth is not controversial among social scientists. It is affirmed by undoubted liberals such as Harvard's David Ellwood and Christopher Jencks.

Growing up outside a twoparent family means not just lower incomes and less social mobility, Schulz argues. It also reduces human capital

-- “the knowledge, education, habits, willpower -- all the internal stuff that is largely inMichael tangible a perBarone son has that helps produce Columnist an income.”

While children are born with certain innate capacities, those capacities can be broadened or narrowed by their upbringing. The numbers indicate that single or divorced parents -- however caring and dedicated -- are unable, on average, to broaden those capacities as much as married parents can.

These differences have sharp implications for upward mobility. Schulz points to an Economic Mobility Project analysis showing that, among children who start off in the bottom third of the income distribution, only 26 percent with divorced parents move up, compared to 42 percent born to unmarried mothers (who may marry later, of course) and 50 percent who grow up with two married parents.

All this matters more than it used to because two-parent families are much more uncommon than they used to be. In 1960 about threefourths of Americans 18 and over were married. In 2011, less than half were.

One reason is that people

are getting married later in life. Back in 1959, one of the last years of the Baby Boom, most American women got married before they turned 21.

In the last half-century, the age of first marriage has crept upward. In 1970, only 11 percent of men and 7 percent of women age 30 to 34 had never been married. In 2008, the corresponding figures were 37 percent of men and 28 percent of women.

In 1970, only 12 percent of Americans age 35 to 44 were unmarried. In 2009, 33 percent were.

Many see increased divorce as the explanation for this change. True, divorce rates spiked upward in the 1970s.

But they peaked in the 1980s.

Most of the change represents people not getting married at all.

In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then-assistant labor secretary, won fame -- and vicious criticism -- for his report lamenting that 24 percent of black births were to unmarried mothers. By 2009, that rate had risen to 72 percent -- and the rate of unmarried births to all American mothers was 41 percent.

These changes have not affected all social classes uniformly. In his 2012 book “Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010,” my AEI colleague Charles Murray showed that rates of divorce and single parenthood among college-educat-

ed whites, after increasing in the 1970s, are almost down to 1960s levels.

But among low-education, low-income whites, as well as blacks and Hispanics, family disintegration has become the norm.

Will these trends go on forever? Not necessarily. Schulz looks back to the 1950s, years of unusually high marriage rates. Go back further, to the years around 1900, and Americans were marrying later and larger percentages than today never married at all.

Increasing affluence and changing mores reinforced by universal media such as movies and television helped produce the midcentury America with well-nigh universal married parenthood.

People learn from experience. In surveys, children of divorce express disapproval of divorce -- and the decline in divorce rates since the 1980s suggests they divorce less often than their parents' generation.

So it's at least possible that those most familiar with the ill effects of family disintegration will choose in their own lives to take a different course.

A ‘Duck Dynasty’ checklist The outrage industry was in high dudgeon just before Christmas over remarks “Duck Dynasty” family patriarch, Phil Robertson, made to GQ magazine about homosexuality. Outrage is the primary ingredient for political fundraising and political power. One must always have an enemy.

Let's go down the “I Take Offense” checklist and make sure all the boxes were “ticked” before considering a larger point.

-- Liberal New York writer goes slumming among the hayseeds in Louisiana and deliberately creates a controversy by asking a Bible-loving Christian to define sin. Check.

-- Bible-reading Christian quotes from that book and is condemned by those who don't read or believe what it says, or have a different “interpretation” (same thing).

Check.

-- The A&E Network, on which the highest-rated cable TV show is shown (up to 14 million viewers), quickly issues an apology and “full support” for the LGBT community. Check.

-- Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal issues a statement

-- The right Columnist to free speech is defended amidst allegations that quoting the Bible promotes hate and violence against gays.

-- Various high-profile Christians, among them former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz, denounce the “double standard” when it comes to their beliefs and the tolerance, even promotion, of beliefs and practices anathema to them. Check.

-- Both sides send out fundraising appeals that ask for contributions to (pick one) fight the intolerance, hate and bigotry of the fundamentalists and their Republican allies (liberals), or keep America from sliding into the moral and cultural pit from anti-God Christian bash-

ers (conservatives). Check.

Check.

There. Now, does everyone feel better? Has everyone had their say? Has anything changed? It might, if the Robertson family carries through on its implied threat to “walk” from the show if Phil is not allowed to continue on “Duck Dynasty.” I don't know what their contract allows, but if it permits them to leave, or if they are fired “for cause,” they are likely to “walk” their hit show and its huge audience to another network.

Now to the larger point.

Christians who read the Bible, as Phil Robertson does, should be aware of verses other than the ones that list people it says can't enter God's Kingdom apart from faith in Jesus, who changes behavior and forgives the past. That list, by the way, includes “all liars,” which should put the fear of God into most politicians. (See Revelation 21:8) Other passages say Christians should expect persecution, even hate, because Jesus said they would. “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first” (John 15:18) and “In the world you

will have tribulation” (John 16:33).

Christians should not “demand” respect and “tolerance” for their beliefs when their Leader said to expect the opposite. Sure, they can point out hypocrisy (it is something in which they occasionally engage), but they should be known less for what they are against, than Who they are for.

Condemnation ought not to be the first words out of their mouths when it comes to the beliefs and lifestyles of others. Quite the opposite. Phil Robertson must be familiar with this verse: “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:17) Here's a New Year's prediction: “Duck Dynasty” will be back with Phil Robertson, either on A&E, or another network. When it returns, the ratings will be even higher and the profits larger. As Sy Robertson might put it, “and that's a fact, Jack.”

Capping tough year, Obama signs deal HONOLULU — Rounding out a tough and frustrating year, President Barack Obama signed a bipartisan budget deal Thursday easing spending cuts and a defense bill cracking down on sexual assault in the military, as the president and Congress began pivoting to the midterm election year ahead.

Obama put his signature on both hard-fought bills while vacationing in Hawaii, where he has been regrouping with his family since Saturday.

The bill signing marks one of Obama’s last official acts in a year beset by a partial government shutdown, a near-default by the Treasury, a calamitous health care rollout and near-perpetual congressional gridlock.

Although the budget deal falls short of the grand bargain that Obama and congressional Republicans once aspired to, it ends the cycle of fiscal brinkmanship — for now — by preventing another shutdown for nearly two more years.

But the rare moment of comity may be shortlived. Hanging over the start of the year is a renewed fight over raising the nation’s borrowing limit, which the Treasury says must be resolved by late February or early March to avert an unprecedented U.S. default. Both sides are positioning behind customary hard-line positions, with Republicans insisting they want concessions before raising the debt limit and Obama insisting he won’t negotiate.

The last vestiges of 2013’s legislative wrangling behind him, Obama’s attention turns now to major challenges and potential bright spots in the year ahead.

In late January, Obama will give his fifth State of the Union address, setting his agenda for the final stretch before the 2014 midterm elections, in which all of the House and one-third of the Senate are on the ballot.

Americans hopeful for better year WASHINGTON — Large number of Americans see 2013 as anything but a banner year and aren’t reluctant to wave goodbye on New Year’s Eve, a new AP-Times Square poll says, reflecting anxiety stretching from the corridors of power in Washington to corporate boardrooms, statehouses, and city and town halls.

Although the poll shows that people generally are looking forward to the new year with optimism and no blatant sense of foreboding, it also unmasks pent-up worries about international crises and instability, and concerns at home about the standard of living, health care and schools.

counties that were holding out on issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples reversed course Thursday and decided to hand out licenses to all eligible applicants.

Officials for the four holdouts — Box Elder, Utah, Piute and San Juan counties — told The Associated Press they made the decision to offer licenses to same-sex couples.

County clerks say they had little choice after an appeals court Tuesday declined to intervene and halt gay marriage.

U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby ruled last week that Utah’s ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, sending gay couples rushing to clerk offices for licenses.

The state plans to take its fight against gay marriage to the U.S. Supreme Court as early as Friday while it prepares an appeal of Shelby’s ruling to the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said Ryan Bruckman, a spokesman for the Utah attorney general’s office.

Bruckman has said counties could be held in contempt of federal court if they refused to comply.

Court reverses official’s conviction PHILADELPHIA — A Roman Catholic church official who has been jailed for more than a year for his handling of priest sex-abuse complaints had his landmark conviction reversed and was ordered released Thursday.

A three-judge Superior Court panel unanimously rejected prosecution arguments that Monsignor William Lynn, the first U.S. church official ever charged or convicted for the handling of clergy-abuse complaints, was legally responsible for an abused boy’s welfare in the late 1990s.

“He’s been in prison 18 months for a crime he didn’t commit and couldn’t commit under the law,” said his attorney, Thomas Bergstrom.

“It’s incredible what happened to this man.”

Lynn, 62, is serving a three- to six-year prison sentence after his child-endangerment conviction last year.

His lawyers hoped for his immediate release Thursday from the state prison in Waymart, but the appeals court denied the request, instead sending the bail issue back to the trial court.

Prosecutors vowed

to oppose bail and to challenge the 43-page opinion.

“Because we will be appealing, the conviction still stands for now, and the defendant cannot be lawfully released until the end of the process,” District Attorney Seth Williams said in a statement.

His office contended at trial that Lynn reassigned known predators to new parishes in Philadelphia while he was the archdiocese’s secretary for clergy from 1992 to 2004.

Lynn’s conviction stems from the case of one priest, Edward Avery, found to have abused a child in 1998 after such a transfer.

Victims’ groups blasted the reversal.

‘Booty Call’ director Pollack dies at 54 HERMOSA BEACH, Calif. — A producer of TV’s “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and writerdirector of “Above the Rim” has died.

Police say Jeffrey Ian Pollack was found collapsed early Monday morning in the Greenbelt jogging area of Hermosa Beach, about 20 miles southwest of Los Angeles. Pollack was 54.

Authorities said Thursday they do not suspect foul play.

Pollack was wearing jogging clothes and carrying an iPod when a passer-by discovered him and contacted police.

Pollack produced several seasons of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” as well as a Jennifer Lopez concert documentary. Besides “Above the Rim,” Pollack directed the films “Booty Call” and “Lost & Found.”

Cab driver finds $300,000 in back seat LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas cab driver Gerardo Gamboa thought someone left a bag of chocolates in the back seat of his vehicle, but the stash turned out to be $300,000 in cold hard cash.

Now, Gamboa is winning honors for honesty after turning in the money he found Monday. The money was returned to an unidentified poker player. Yellow Checker Star Transportation named Gamboa its driver of the year and rewarded him with $1,000 and a dinner for two at a restaurant.

A message left Wednesday for Gamboa at the cab company wasn’t immediately returned.

Family of 4 doubles with birth of quadruplets TUPELO — Just before Christmas, a New Albany family of four became a family of eight.

Veronica Hernandez gave birth Monday to quadruplets: two boys and two girls.

Girls Allyson Sophia and Ashley Marie and boys Alexander Ivan and Anthony Ricardo were born at 25 weeks.

“This is our Christmas present, for sure,” said Veronica, 33.

Helias Hernandez, 27, is a twin himself, and has two other sets of twins in his family. But no one was expecting four babies when the couple became pregnant this summer.

Veronica Hernandez said they’d been told to expect triplets. In November, she said, doctors found another baby.

The girls weigh just over one pound each, and the boys are just over two pounds each.

Veronica Hernandez has been hospitalized at North Mississippi Medical Center Women’s Hospital since the day since the day after Thanksgiving to keep the babies in the womb as long as possible and ensure they weren’t born without a doctor around.

The babies were on ventilators but doing well.

They have a 16-yearold brother and a 10-year-old sister.

“I’m proud that I delivered these babies,” said Dr. Leo Bautista. “And this may be the only quads that I will have in my career ... After they were delivered, they were of course premature, but they did very well after they were delivered.”

Bautista said everything looks pretty good right now if the babies can make it to 34 weeks without complications.

“It’s not unheard of, but it’s exceedingly rare,” to have quadruplets without fertility treatment, said Bautista. “It’s about 1 in 750,000.”

Helias Hernandez said he’s happy the babies arrived safely. When they come home — likely April if all goes well — that’s when the shock will set in, he said.

fine from the past decade but aldermen opted to just do the larger ones initially.

City attorney Dudley Williams says once the list is made public, those on it will be given an amnesty period to settle up.

If that passes without payment, they will then be subject to a court hearing.

Williams says the board of aldermen’s action puts consequences on those who fail to pay within the amnesty period.

Williams says he expects the policy to bring in revenue.

Court date set for kidnapping, assault BAY ST. LOUIS — A man who allegedly lured two brothers, ages 5 and 8, from their yard in south Mississippi and took them to his camper, where he sexually abused them and slashed the older boy’s throat will be in court Jan. 12.

A hearing in Hancock County Justice Court will determine if there is enough evidence to present the case to the grand jury.

James Smith is charged with kidnapping, attempted murder, sexual battery; and resisting arrest. His bond is set at $3.5 million. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

The children were abducted Dec. 18 in Pearl River County and taken to the trailer in rural Hancock County. One boy escaped and got help.

The child who was cut is in stable condition in a Mobile hospital.

Authorities identify body found in Waveland WAVELAND — The Waveland Police Department is conducting a homicide investigation after the body of a homeless man was discovered in an abandoned house on U.S. Highway 90.

Hancock County

Coroner Jim Faulk says 58-year-old David Bourgeois of Hancock County apparently had been dead for several days when his body was found Wednesday night.

Faulk says the case was ruled a homicide after the autopsy Thursday. He says he cannot release any additional details about the death.

Police Chief David Allen says the man may have been staying in the house.

Tree that saved lives in Katrina now gifts OCEAN SPRINGS — It seemed like a typical Christmas at the Martin residence in Ocean Springs, but nestled around the tree were 11 wood carvings of pelicans, egrets and other birds.

Those carvings came from a giant cedar tree that helped save the lives of Gay and Alice Martin during Hurricane Katrina. The Martins tell WLOX-TV they clung to that tree in their back yard for almost three hours. Alice Martin says God used it to save their lives.

A storm surge of more than 30 feet above sea level forced the couple to climb onto their roof.

When it began to sink, Gay Martin says they got on the tree.

The Martins then were inspired to cut it down and have sculptor Marlin Miller make Christmas gifts for their children.

African leaders seek peace talks in South Sudan Associated Press

JUBA, South Sudan — African leaders tried Thursday to advance peace talks between South Sudan’s president and political rivals he accuses of attempting a coup to topple the government of the world’s newest country.

As fighting persisted in parts of South Sudan’s oil-producing region, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn had “a constructive dialogue” with South Sudanese President Salva Kiir, according to Kiir’s foreign minister. But the fugitive former deputy president who now leads renegade troops was not represented, and no political breakthrough emerged.

The next round of meetings will be held in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, where regional leaders under a bloc known as IGAD are to meet Friday to discuss a report from Thursday’s meeting, South Sudanese Foreign Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin said.

Kiir agreed “in principle” to stop hostilities and to negotiate with former Vice President Riek Machar, who is expected to be formally invited by IGAD to attend upcoming peace talks, said Benjamin, who offered no details.

It was not possible to reach Machar, as his known phone numbers were switched off.

JACKSON — After years of debate, the Jackson City Council has eliminated a $50 fee on late residential water bills.

Councilwoman LaRita

Cooper-Stokes sponsored the ordinance.

She tells The ClarionLedger it was unfair to poor people and those on fixed incomes, because it could double a bill.

The late fee remains in place for businesses.

And people still run the risk of having their water cut off. If that happens, they’ll be assessed a $25 reconnect fee.

After a long debate last week, the council voted 6-0 to remove the fee on late residential water bills.

MCCOMB — Southwest Mississippi law enforcement officials say thefts of all-terrain vehicles are on the rise.

The Enterprise-Journal reports that nine such thefts have been reported this year in Amite County, 16 in Pike County and eight in Lincoln County. Few have been recovered.

Pike County Chief Investigator Bruce Fairburn says all the counties around Pike, and bordering parishes in Louisiana, are all reporting big increases in ATV thefts.

U.N. humanitarian official, Toby Lanzer, said Monday that he believes the death toll has surpassed 1,000.

Although the capital, Juba, is now calm, fighting appears to be expanding, stretching the limits of humanitarian workers and aid agencies. The U.N. humanitarian office said aid agencies need $166 million to save lives amid the continuing violence.

The money will be used to provide water, sanitation, shelter, food and health care, plus protection for vulnerable people, the office said in a statement.

Some 58,000 people have taken refuge in and around U.N. bases in South Sudan, and more than 92,000 have fled their homes as a result of fighting, according to the U.N. The U.N. Security Council last week voted unanimously to beef up its peacekeeping force in South Sudan. It called for an immediate end to hostilities and the “opening of a dialogue.”

Hilde Johnson, head of the U.N. mission in South Sudan, said she expects some military reinforcements and equipment to arrive in 48 hours to help protect civilians seeking refuge at U.N. bases.

Before the 2005 peace agreement, the region that is now South Sudan fought decades of war with Sudan. One of the world’s least developed countries, it still has pockets of rebel resistance and sees cyclical, tribal clashes that result in hundreds of deaths.

forces loyal to Machar.

Fighting was also reported in Malakal, capital of Upper Nile state.

Upper Nile and Unity comprise the country’s key oil-producing region, raising concerns that unrest there could cut off the economic lifeblood of the young nation, which gets nearly its entire government budget from oil.

Citing more progress against rebels on the battlefield, South Sudan’s minister of information told reporters that national forces on Thursday regained “full control” of Malakal. Michael Makuei Lueth said “criminal elements” had been looting the town, but the army now had it under control.

Military spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said government troops were “preparing to retake Bentiu as soon as possible.”

The fighting has provoked fears of a civil war in the country that peacefully broke away from Sudan in 2011 following a 2005 peace deal.

The United States, Norway and Ethiopia are leading efforts to open peace talks between Kiir and his political rivals.

Kiir said in a Christmas address that he is willing to “dialogue” with all his opponents.

The United Nations is investigating reports of mass killings since violence began spreading after a Dec. 15 fight among the presidential guards that pitted soldiers from Kiir’s Dinka ethnic group against those from the Nuer ethnic group of Machar.

Reversal on ACA cancellations gets mixed response Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — A month after President Barack Obama announced people could keep insurance policies slated for cancellation under the federal health overhaul, the reversal has gotten a mixed response from insurers, state regulators and consumers.

Many consumers complained in October and November after insurers notified them that their plans were being canceled because they didn’t cover pre-existing conditions, hospitalization, prescription drugs or seven other basic benefits required under the law. In pitching the overhaul, Obama had long promised people who liked their policies could keep them.

Then Obama announced Nov. 14 that companies could continue existing policies that don’t meet the minimum requirements if state regulators approved. Officials in 27 states responded by allowing insurance companies to extend the noncompliant policies for another year.

Insurers in those states were given a choice of whether to continue the

policies, and some have declined.

In Kentucky, insurers Humana, United Healthcare and Assurant chose to extend old policies while Anthem and Bluegrass Family Health opted against it. Seven companies in South Carolina are extending individual plans the federal law considers substandard, while six companies are extending plans in the small group market. Twenty are not participating.

In North Carolina, only Blue Cross and Blue Shield, which controls about 80 percent of the state’s market for individual and small-business policies, offered to renew plans covering 474,000 people that had been slated for cancellation. North Carolina’s insurance commissioner allowed the company to raise premiums by between 16 percent and 24 percent.

It wasn’t alone in raising prices on non-compliant policies. Anthem Blue Cross in Maine plans to raise premiums by an average of 12 percent on its no-longer-cancelled policies. The Blue Cross provider in neighboring New Hampshire expects an av-

erage 7 percent increase.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois said it would seek undefined price changes.

Raleigh attorney Jeff Poley, 42, says he’s fine with paying more for his current policy, considering what it would have cost him to switch to a new one. He’s covered himself with a highdeductible health policy from Blue Cross for the past two years, which currently costs $137 a month.

The plan doesn’t cover maternity and some other benefits required under the Affordable Care Act. When he initially received a cancellation notice, Blue Cross said the closest plan that met all of the new federal requirements would cost nearly twice as much.

But after Obama’s announcement, Blue Cross offered to extend Poley’s old plan for another year at $170 a month. His wife is covered by a policy through her law firm.

“I was glad for the oneyear reprieve, but I would still like a permanent fix because I don’t need abortion coverage, I don’t need maternity coverage,” said Poley, who said he exercises vigorously about

six days a week. “We as a family had made that choice and we are two intelligent people who know better what’s good for our family than the government does.”

About 15 million Americans buy policies as individuals, according to Families USA, a nonprofit organization that backs health reform. At least 4.2 million people received notices from their insurers that their policies would be cancelled, according to a tally by The Associated Press. The number is likely much higher because officials in 20 states said they were unable to provide information on cancellation notices.

Sabrina Corlette, project director at the Health Policy Institute at Georgetown University, warns that Obama’s decision last month could allow younger people with relatively few health problems to stay on bare-bones policies. That could lead to higher premiums in 2015 to offset the cost of covering people with more health problems, she said.

Still, even before Obama’s announcement last month, a pathway existed for many consumers

to hang onto policies that didn’t conform to the ACA requirements.

About four out of five states allowed insurers to offer early renewals to non-conforming policies that would have expired sometime next year, according to America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry trade association.

Virginia, Maryland, Arizona and Nebraska regulators said they won’t allow companies to resurrect cancelled plans as Obama suggested because the same could be accomplished if policy holders took advantage of early renewals before the end of this year.

Early renewals are allowing 60-year-old artist Marlys Dietrick of San Antonio and her 21-yearold son to stay in their old policies.

Dietrick jumped at the chance when Humana offered in October to renew her expiring, high-deductible policy early for $315 a month — an increase of about $15. She and her son both must spend $7,000 per year on medical bills to meet a deductible before the company starts paying.

Her insurer told her it would charge $705 a month for a similar policy that met the new standard required under the health care law. She earns too much to qualify for tax subsidies.

“I’m not saying I loved my insurance. I’m just saying I was able to keep the costs down by being able to tailor it to me and my needs,” she said. “I’m 60. I don’t need maternity. I don’t need pediatric. I’m healthy, I don’t need drug coverage. I don’t need mental health.

There’s like five things that allowed me to keep my costs down. I was able to pick and choose.”

Consumers Union health care reform analyst Lynn Quincy said staying with an existing policy is a natural starting point.

But renewing an existing policy with a high deductible or excluding types of coverage needed later may not turn out to be the best deal, she said.

“If your old coverage continued, that’s fine. But look at your other options before enrolling, because you can’t be turned down now” for pre-existing health conditions, Quincy said.

Snow slows Maine power work; Michigan effort ongoing Associated Press

GARDINER, Maine — Snow fell Thursday in places still hustling to get power back on after a weekend ice storm that turned out the lights from Michigan to Maine and into Canada.

Eastern Maine and parts of the state’s interior that have been without electricity since Sunday anticipated 3 to 7 inches of snow by the time the latest system pushed off the coast Thursday night.

Utilities worried that the additional weight on branches and transmission lines could cause setbacks in the around-theclock efforts to restore power.

“We don’t think it’s going to help us much, that’s for sure,” said Susan Faloon, a spokeswoman for Bangor Hydro Electric in Maine. “There was some concern expressed over the last couple of days about that storm coming because obviously we still have lot of stuff weighing

down trees and lines.

“The system is pretty compromised out there,” she said. “We expect we will have more outages.”

In Michigan, where about half a million homes and businesses lost power at the peak of the weekend storm, an inch or so of snow was expected. Utilities there reported 101,000 customers without power Thursday morning and said it could be Saturday before all electricity is restored.

Tony Carone lost power in his Lapeer, Mich., home Sunday morning.

The 52-year-old lineman for Detroit-based DTE knew there were long hours ahead.

“I was one of the casualties,” he said while taking a break from restoration work Thursday morning.

Maine reported more than 21,000 customers still out, down from a high of more than 106,000.

There were more than 101,000 without power in three Canadian provinces

— Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick — including 54,000 in the city of Toronto.

Day five without power was met by tired but mostly stoic Mainers.

Bob and Katrina Johnson spent Christmas Eve at a family member’s house that had no electricity. Christmas morning was at their powerless house in Pittston and that afternoon meant a trip to Katrina’s mother’s house in Gardiner, which also had no electricity. Nonetheless, they exchanged presents and celebrated.

By Thursday, the couple had grown weary from hauling a portable generator back and forth between their home and her mother’s home to keep a freezer-load of moose meat from spoiling and run the heat long enough to keep pipes from freezing and bursting.

“You have to go with the flow and adapt, and do the best you can,” Katrina Johnson said. “You learn

how to deal with it. Do you like it? No, but you deal with it.”

In hard-hit Kennebec County, where the state capital of Augusta is located, glistening trees sagged under the weight of ice. Many tree limbs had snapped, littering yards.

On one road, workers in four bucket trucks from Massachusetts’ N-Star utility company worked patiently to get a power line lifted back into place as snow fell sporadically. Paul Graham, the crew supervisor from Waltham, Mass., and a veteran of the devastating ice storm of 1998, said it could’ve been worse, even as his team worked its third consecutive 18-hour shift.

“Honestly, you got lucky,” he said. “If it was a little more ice, poles would have been broken.

Things would be on the ground. That’s my take. If there was another quarter of an inch or a half-inch of

ice, people would’ve been out for a long, long, long time.

“But I’m sure no one is thinking they’re lucky, right?”

A state ferry was commandeered to transport utility crews to restore power to the 600 or so residents on the island of Islesboro, where actor John Travolta has a home.

Most utility customers in Maine were expected to have their lights on by week’s end, but there were some pockets where damage was so severe it could take until Wednesday.

Bangor Hydro Electric advised residents that it will be the end of the day Friday before its more than 11,000 customers are back online. The number has fluctuated as some get power back while others lose it.

Central Maine Power, with more than 16,000 customers still without power early Thursday, hoped to get electricity

back for most by the end of the day but acknowledged that some will still be without electricity Friday. More than 100,000 were without power at the storm’s peak.

In the snow country of New York’s Tug Hill Plateau, east of Lake Ontario, 11 to 17 inches of wind-whipped lake effect snow was expected to fall by the end of the day Friday. The ice storm knocked out electricity for about 50,000 customers in northern New York; all but about 150 had power back by Thursday.

Elsewhere, the snow shut westbound lanes on a portion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike after a pileup involving 35 vehicles. Ten people were taken to hospital with injuries from the crash.

Authorities blame last weekend’s storm for 27 deaths; 17 in the U.S. and 10 in Canada, including five who apparently died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Would organ donors also give hands, face?

WASHINGTON — Sure your liver or kidney could save someone’s life. But would you donate your hands, or your face? Signing up to become an organ donor may get more complicated than just checking a

box on your driver’s license.

The government is preparing to regulate the new field of hand and face transplants like it does standard organ transplants, giving more Americans who are disabled or disfigured by injury, illness or combat a chance at this radical kind of reconstruction.

Among the first challenges is deciding how people

should consent to donate these very visible body parts that could improve someone’s quality of life — without deterring them from traditional donation of hearts, lungs and other internal organs needed to save lives.

“Joe Blow is not going to know that now an organ is defined as also including a hand or a face,” said Dr.

Suzanne McDiarmid, who chairs the committee of the United Network for Organ Sharing, or UNOS, that will develop the new policies over the next few months.

Making that clear to potential donors and their families is critical — “otherwise we could undermine public trust,” said McDiarmid, a transplant specialist

The Finish Line An improved outlook for 2014 is helping shares of Finish Line end the year strong. Stock in the athletic shoe and clothing company is up 7 percent this month and nearly 50 percent so far this year.

The company reported better-than-expected earnings last week and raised its 2014 earnings forecast. The company now foresees 2014 adjusted earnings of $1.60 to $1.65 per share, reflecting growth of 9 percent to 12 percent over this year. Its prior guidance was for a mid-single digit percentage increase.

A growth driver for the company is its partnership with Macy’s, under which it will operate Finish-Line branded shops within Macy’s department stores and online at Macys.com. The rollout process began this spring and should be completed next year. Over time, management expects the agreement could generate more than $250 million in annual revenue.

Last year the retailer posted revenue of $1.4 billion.

Financial analysts are mixed on the stock, but the Macy’s deal is one reason Eric Tracy of Janney Capital Markets maintains a “Buy” rating, projecting additional revenue of $130 million or more next year.

Eye on natural gas

Natural gas stocks

Big finish?

Last retail push

The Energy Department is due to report its latest tally of U.S. natural gas stockpiles.

The nation’s natural gas supplies have been declining in recent weeks, falling about 8 percent two weeks ago from the previous week to 3.25 trillion cubic feet. The nation’s natural gas inventories typically drop during cold weather months. Figures for last week’s natural gas stockpiles are due out today.

Weekly change in billion cubic feet 50

The last full week of trading on the stock market draws to a close today.

It’s been a historic year for investors, who have bid up stock prices to all-time highs despite a mediocre economy. That’s helped set the S&P 500 index up for its best year since 1997. The Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program, which is aimed at keeping long-term interest rates low, has made stocks more attractive.

Christmas is over, but retailers are hoping to cash in on another tradition: after-Christmas sales.

Many retailers offered steep discounts to woo consumers in the weeks leading up to the Christmas holiday. Even so, sales at U.S. stores have been lackluster. Retailers like Amazon.com and Old Navy ramped up their after-Christmas sales early in a bid to lure shoppers back into stores today and over the weekend.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian James Embrey of C & D Jarnigan’s has been making tinware for Civil War re-enactors the past 23 years in Corinth. See Steve Beavers’ story in Sunday’s edition.

Suspected trafficking causes concern in quiet cul-de-sac DEAR ABBY: I live in a fairly well-to-do neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. There has been an increase in the traffic on my street, and I suspect it’s because a neighbor’s adult son has been selling drugs. Most of the cars are driven by young people who park for five to 10 minutes at the most, and all of them walk around to the back of the house. Hypodermic needles have been found in the street.

Should I talk to the police and risk alienating my neighbors, or should I keep quiet because I have no definite proof? I don’t think the parents would believe me if I told them; they seem to think their child can do no wrong. Also, if I do file a police report and they find out, I’m afraid they will retaliate. Help! -NOT SURE WHAT TO DO DEAR NOT SURE: Don’t keep quiet. It’s important that the police be notified before the problem becomes worse.

Call your local anonymous tip line and report where you have seen the suspicious activity and the needles. No personal information from you will be asked, and your privacy will be protected.

DEAR ABBY: I had some time to think over the summer, and came to the realization that a baby my girlfriend had almost 30 years ago may be

my daughter.

“Sally” and I had a very intense, but short-lived relationship that blew up. About a later we Abigail year met again Van Buren for lunch at the behest Dear Abby of a mutual friend.

I don’t remember the details, but I do remember searching for an accurate way to compliment her. Because she had put on weight, the best I could come up with was “you look good.”

She didn’t hit me, but the conversation went downhill from there. Sally mentioned as we were parting that she had given birth to a daughter. I haven’t heard from her since.

I don’t want to create problems for anybody, but I’m curious. I’m happily married and plan to stay that way. At the same time, I’d welcome having a daughter.

I have thought about sending cheek swabs and a check-off DNA test to the child along with a note suggesting she send our samples in for testing. But that could destroy whatever story she may have grown up with.

I’m at a loss here. I could use some advice from an outside authority. What do you think I should do? -- BLOCKHEAD IN CALIFORNIA DEAR B.H.: It’s been 30 years. The “child” is a woman now. Before you risk starting WWIII, why not contact the mother and ask if you are her daughter’s father, because it’s possible that you AREN’T. DEAR ABBY: I’m 20 years old and have never dated anyone. I have a lot of friends and do well in school and at work, and I try to be a good, kind, friendly person.

What can I do to make myself datable? Am I missing some crucial step in how to become a girlfriend? -- OLD MAID IN ST. LOUIS DEAR OLD MAID: Because I have never met you in person, I can’t tell you what you might be doing that relegates you to the “only as a friend” category.

However, some of your guy friends might be able to tell you. And you should also solicit some tips from your girlfriends.

(Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You can’t help but wonder whether there’s a better way to make money. Center your work on something that is endlessly interesting to you, and it won’t feel like work at all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your heart will communicate with operatic force. Follow its powerful song. The action you take this afternoon will have an unusual but beneficial outcome.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You may prefer to freely share what you’ve learned, but consider that practical knowledge costs time and money to acquire.

Shouldn’t you be compensated?

People are more likely to listen to the advice they pay for.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Be careful not to get too wrapped up in defining people (or yourself) through belongings. What you own may suggest certain talents, but just because a person owns a hammer doesn’t mean he can build a house.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s nice when people approve of what you do, but you don’t base your decisions on what’s nice. It’s better to let them think what they will than to change your behavior to please their fickle tastes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Sacred things are made so by the beliefs of people. You are as qualified as anyone else to declare what is sacred to you, and as long as you treat that item or event in a sacred way, it will remain so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Ask a small favor of a friend who seems to have the means and the time to accommodate you.

You may not even need the help that much, but you do need to know on whom you can rely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

As you look at the current cast of characters around you, it will seem that the most charming people tend to lead charmed lives. It’s important that you don’t mistake polish for substance,

though.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Socializing leads to intellectual and political gains. Those who listen twice as much as they talk will be two times as knowledgeable at the end of the conversation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may be convenient for you to accommodate a loved one’s wishes, but before you do, consider that this also may be setting up an unhealthy, codependent dynamic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you’re not sure what to say, saying very little is a wise strategy. You’ll be surprised by the way others fill in the silent spaces you leave, usually to your credit and benefit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Sooner or later, the conversation will come around to that subject about which you care deeply.

So why not cut out all of the boring, meandering chitchat and get right to it?

Winter-blooming cyclamen make great indoor plants Let me offer a suggestion if you have looked around your house this Christmas season and enjoyed the poinsettias but wished for a little variety.

Next year, bring home some cyclamen to decorate your living area over the winter.

Cyclamen is a great indoor plant with a long blooming period that produces loads of colorful flowers.

Its traditional flower colors range from red to pink and white, making it ideal for Christmas decorating. But some of the most attractive colors are the soft pastels of pink and purple, which can put a twist on your holiday decorating.

The nodding flowers of cyclamen have swept-back petals held on straight stems above the foliage. The cordate or heart-shaped leaves have varying patterns of silver and gray, which is another highly attractive feature of cyclamen.

Cyclamen like lots of bright, indirect light when grown indoors.

Be sure to keep yours away from heating vents.

Cyclamen like high humidity, so low humidity caused by the houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heating system can be a problem during the winter. Work around this problem by keeping your cyclamen container on a layer of pebbles in a tray filled with water. Never place the container di-

rectly in the water as this w o u l d overwater the plant.

If you Gary like the Bachman plant so much you Southern want to see Gardening if everywhere, try some cyclamen in containers. Cyclamen like temperatures in the 40 to 60 degree range, which means we can grow them outdoors for much of the Mississippi winter.

Colorful containers arranged by the front door can cheerfully greet visitors. And since you grow them in containers, you can whisk them indoors if a spell of cold weather moves in.

Watering is the biggest problem most home gardeners have growing cyclamen successfully.

Avoid overwatering at all costs. Always wait for the potting mix to feel dry to the touch, and then water thoroughly around the outside of the container.

Never pour water directly on the crown of your cyclamen, as this can encourage crown rot. Place the container in the sink to allow it to drain completely before you put it back out for decoration.

Although cyclamen look great through the winter, as the weather begins to warm, the leaves will start to turn to yellow

Cyclamen is a great indoor plant for the Christmas holidays because it has a long blooming period that produces loads of colorful flowers. eventually. Many gardeners take this as the signal to throw the plant away and buy a new one next fall, but the adventurous gardener can try to keep it all year and get it to bloom again next winter.

If you want to try to get your cyclamen to bloom a second time, stop watering the yellowing foliage, allow it to wither,

and let the potting media dry out. After a couple of months, repot the tuber in a slightly larger container, keeping half of the tuber above the potting mix. Resist the urge to water the transplant.

In the fall when temperatures fall, new leaves will start to sprout. Now you can water your cyclamen well.

So if all this talk of cyclamens has made you want to try your own, here are a few tips for choosing a cyclamen at the garden center. Select one that has just a few flowers open, leaving the majority to bloom after you bring it home. Make sure the flower stems are standing straight and have lots of flowers buds

Seniors, disabled persons get help feeding furry friends

BY SUE MANNING Associated Press

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If Meals on Wheels didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver donated dog food, Sherry Scott of San Diego says her golden retriever Tootie would be

eating the pasta, riblets and veggie wraps meant for her. But thanks to partnerships between the program for low-income seniors and pet groups across the country, fewer people and pets are going

hungry.

After Meals on Wheels volunteers noticed a growing number of clients giving their food away to their furry friends, they started working with shelters and other pet

groups to add free pet food to their meal deliveries. Those programs, relying on donations and volunteers, have continued to grow in popularity as seniors began eating better, staying healthier and

worrying less about feeding their pets, one group said.

Meals on Wheels is just one organization serving people who are poor, disabled or elderly, but it has a vast reach. It has teamed

up with independently run pet partners in several states, but how many isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known, said Jenny Bertolette, spokeswoman for Meals on Wheels Association of America in Alexandria, Va.

Mississippi College hires Bland as new coach Associated Press

CLINTON — Mississippi College has hired John Bland as its next football coach.

The school announced the hiring on Thursday.

Bland succeeds Norman Joseph who resigned in November as head football coach at Mississippi College after nine seasons.

Bland had been head coach at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky., for the past eight seasons. Bland led the Patriots to the NAIA playoffs six times, including a 13-1 season and a trip to the national championship game in 2013.

Overall, Bland posted a 70-21 mark and won the Mid-South Conference championship five times.

Joseph became the Choctaws’ coach in 2004 and led them to a 9-3 record and the American Southwest Conference championship in 2009. Joseph had a career record of 63-70 as a head coach.

Rodgers back to start vs Bears Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers has been cleared to return from a left collarbone injury, just in time to start Sunday for the Packers against the Chicago Bears in a game to decide the NFC North title.

With no advance warning and little fanfare, the franchise quarterback received the long-awaited good news at the same time as the rest of his teammates Thursday.

“This is a fun day for me, but I think the focus needs to be on this game and the opportunity we have to win the division,” Rodgers said.

Soon enough. But the spotlight for now is squarely on

the return of one of the NFL’s most irreplaceable players.

Green Bay (7-7-1) is 2-51 since Rodgers went down during the first series of a 27-20 loss Nov. 4 to Chicago.

The Packers have managed to hang on, with a shot to win a third straight division title with a victory Sunday at Soldier Field.

“I’ll start with the announcement that we’re preparing for the Chicago Bears with Aaron Rodgers as our starting quarterback,” coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Thursday after practice.

Win and Green Bay returns to Lambeau Field the following weekend to host a wildcard team in the first round of

the playoffs.

“We’re in it. You know we have a chance against our rivals, and what a better way than to go down there and get some redemption and host a home playoff game,” Rodgers said.

The last two months have been filled with angst for Packers fans. Discussions about whether Rodgers should risk future injury or return to bolster Green Bay’s playoff chances have filled sports talk radio shows and holiday office parties.

Now imagine what it was like for the Packers’ brass and team doctor. The organization made a big investment in Rodgers this past offseason,

signing him to a five-year contract extension through the 2019 season worth as much as $110 million.

“Every football player that plays in this game Sunday will have risk. I think we all understand that,” McCarthy said. “So we’ve done our due diligence. We’ve gone through all the evaluations and we feel it is time. Aaron is ready to play.”

Finally at 8:05 a.m. Thursday, McCarthy gave the official word at a team meeting. No rousing speeches or rounds of applause.

“The scene? We were sitting in the team room and he told us,” Rodgers said matter-offactly. “That was the scene.”

Long, NE softball recognized by B&G Club

BY BLAKE LONG NEMCC Sports Information

BOONEVILLE — The life of a Northeast Mississippi Community College softball player is more than just weights, strength and conditioning, running, practices, games and academics.

It is about learning how to become a well-round person in the span of two years, and that is what Jody Long has instilled in the Tigers over the last decade.

For his successful efforts to the local community and longstanding track record of service, the Booneville chapter of the Boys & Girls Club of America honored Long and his team on Wednesday, November 13 at the East Side Park Community Center inside Sunflower Park.

“Anytime we can be honored it’s a huge day,” said Long, Northeast’s ninth-year head coach. “But we don’t do this to be honored. We want to be very involved in giving back to our community.

“It’s huge anytime we can teach our kids to give back to young people. Our job in this is to create some kind of background of giving back not only now but as they enter adulthood.”

A Northeast softball player is involved in the neighborhood on average almost 10 times in a year’s span and will participate in approximately

20 service events during their time as Tigers.

A typical year starts out with the annual Booneville Kiwanis Club Christmas Pancake Breakfast on the first Saturday in December. In just over six hours, the squad is in charge of planning entertainment for those involved and serving the approximately 500 people that come to receive a hot meal.

During the 2009-10 aca-

demic year, former Tigers Danielle Frederick (Wheeler) and Taylor Moore (Bruce) sang Christmas carols, helped Santa Claus out and put on a puppet show for those in attendance.

Long does not get out of duty either as the veteran mentor cooks pancakes for three hours at the event.

Moore pointed out that it was more than just feeding breakfast that was rewarding

during the activity.

“It was heartbreaking to see the kids coming in there needing a coat but it was gratifying to know that we were helping them out,” Moore said. “They thought we were super cool because we were softball players.”

Florida hires Roper as offensive coordinator The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida is turning to Duke’s Kurt Roper to improve the Southeastern Conference’s worst offense.

Coach Will Muschamp is counting on Roper’s previous success in the league and his experience with an up-tempo scheme to get it done.

Muschamp announced Roper’s hire Thursday, three days after he agreed to take the job.

“He has a diverse, up-tempo background on offense and does a good job of adapting to what the players do best,” Muschamp said. “The most important thing, though, is he has always remained bal-

anced. He has had success calling plays in the SEC and has tutored three NFL quarterbacks. He has had players produce at every offensive position and he is one of the most well-respected coaches in the country.”

Roper is leaving the same position at Duke. He also was an assistant head coach with the Blue Devils.

Roper spent hours interviewing for the job with Muschamp on Monday. He will remain with Duke through the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Tuesday night.

The Gators (4-8) are coming off their first losing season since 1979. Muschamp wants to overhaul the offense

after three consecutive years ranked worse than 100th nationally in total yards.

Muschamp fired offensive coordinator Brent Pease and offensive line coach Tim Davis less than 24 hours after the season ended.

Duke coach David Cutcliffe said Roper’s coaching style includes “intensity, tempo and quality of repetition.”

“From the minute they hit the field, it’s going to be intense,” Cutcliffe said. “I wouldn’t call him a laid-back football coach by any stretch of the imagination. It’s going to be what we call treat the ground like a hot stove. If you hit the ground, you better get up running. And you know by

the time they get on the field until they get off, they’re going to be moving and getting a bunch of quality reps so I would call it very intense.”

An 18-year coaching veteran, Roper spent six seasons as Duke’s offensive coordinator. He has 14 years of experience coaching quarterbacks, including working with NFL quarterbacks Eli Manning (N.Y. Giants), Sean Renfree (Atlanta Falcons) and Thaddeus Lewis (Buffalo Bills).

He inherits an offense that features mobile quarterback Jeff Driskel and plenty of running back depth, but also includes a woeful offensive line and few playmakers on the perimeter.

One current Tiger that has witnessed first-hand the service of Long while growing up is Bre Agnew.

The freshman participated in the Booneville Boys & Girls Club as a child and is now returning the favor to by being a part of these projects at Northeast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is important especially for me growing

up around here,â&#x20AC;? said Agnew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels great coming back and understanding the reason for giving back to the community.â&#x20AC;?

Overall, Long and the Tigers hope to make a positive impact in the lives of as many people as they possibly can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to see a smile on somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face,â&#x20AC;? said the longtime coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can brighten somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a job well accomplished.â&#x20AC;?

grant a wish for children in need in the Prentiss County area.

One of the biggest projects that the Tigers undertook was constructing a life-sized playhouse for a three-year-old with leukemia on December 5, 2009.

Sara Beth Howell (Booneville) and Leslie Hendrix (Kossuth) headed up Northeastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort that included covering the inside of the playhouse with Hannah Montana dĂŠcor and the placement of a toy stove and a karaoke machine for the child to use.

Howell and Hendrix both said that it felt good to make someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The look on her face was worth all the hard work that went into building that playhouse,â&#x20AC;? Howell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt that all the hard work that we put in as a team paid off.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing that we made that little girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wish come true will stay with me for the rest of my life,â&#x20AC;? Hen-

drix said.

Northeast gets into the giving spirit around the holidays. Instead of buying presents for each other, the Tigers adopt a local family to give children a chance to share in the magic of Christmas.

The squad provided toys for the youngsters along with presents for the parents and clothing to make sure the family was warm through the holiday season.

In 2007, the Tigers joined with the legendary Kay Bain of WTVAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kay Bainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saturday Morninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Showâ&#x20AC;? as she helped provide warm blankets to Prentiss County residents that needed them.

Longâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group added another entry onto their social resume when they entered a float in the 2010 City of Booneville Christmas Parade.

Northeastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s float was entirely softball player generated and built. Long served as Santa Claus and Hendrix was picked to serve as Mrs. Claus while other team members sat around an open fire pit

telling stories of Christmas.

In addition to its holiday-related community service, the Tigers routinely travel to area mental health facilities and nursing homes to sing to in-bound patients.

Northeast continues its philanthropic tradition throughout the spring semester by hosting its annual StrikeOut for Cancer doubleheader, the first of three service events held on the softball diamond.

The 2012 edition of the event saw current Tiger assistant coach Jaisa Emerson throw a perfect game against Mississippi Delta Community College. Erin Dixson, now at NCAA Division II Eckerd College, tossed a no-hitter in the nightcap.

Two softball competitions hosted by Northeast, the Racinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Round Booneville/Make-a-Wish Foundation Tournament and the David Carnell Scholarship Fund Tournament, are held at the beginning of summer also.

All proceeds from both events are donated to

The greatest of all Christmas gifts Many of us will awaken on Christmas morning looking for some item that we are expecting or something earthly that our heart is set on. Most of us will have given instructions or innuendos letting someone know what would be good for us and satisfying to our needs. This will be a time when our desires will most likely be met and it seems that the world has given in to our every need.

Even though our Christmas morning will be a happy time and gifts will be abundant we must remember that not everyone will have the same luxuries that we enjoy.

For many Christmas Day will be just another day with no frills, no merriment, Gary and no Andrews gifts. For these, this Devotionals will be just another ordinary day with no significant meaning to it.

There will be some that cannot enjoy the fruits of Christmas because of little or no money. There are many in this world that cannot have gifts for this special holiday because of other family needs such as food, housing,

etc. Then there are many who won’t enjoy the fruits of this holiday because of religious or non-religious beliefs. There are various reasons for not having, giving, or receiving gifts this or any Christmas season.

Most of us will put selfish desires ahead of needs and do not remember the real reason for the season.

All of us, that are Christians and Believers, know for certain that anything we receive on this earth will not be with us forever. The only promise we have is our eternal home given to us, as a gift, by the Lord Jesus when He gave of Himself on the

cross to save us from our sins.

The great Reverend Billy Graham once penned that “a gift is not a gift unless it is accepted. God does not force His gift on us, but He asks us to receive by faith the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.”

It is our responsibility to share the good news of Christ to everyone around us. This is something truly amazing that everyone can share and not lose the gift they have been given and accepted.

Giving gifts for Christmas is nothing new. Giving gifts at any time is nothing new. Giving gifts is told to us all through

the Bible especially the one told to us in John 3:16.

Giving and receiving gifts at Christmas is a tremendous opportunity of showing love, gratitude, and friendliness however not everyone will be so fortunate. All of us need to look around us and see the need of others searching for hope, charity, and most of all love. To these people we need to show compassion and give of ourselves to help someone enjoy the Christmases on earth but we need to tell them of the saving grace that only Christ can give.

Prayer: Thank you Lord

for the precious gift of your Son. Thank you for my personal assurance of spending eternity with you. Amen.

Pope wishes for Church signs take In ‘Duck Dynasty’ a better world a gamble getting hometown local The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis offered Christmas wishes Wednesday for a better world, praying for protection for Christians under attack, battered women and trafficked children, peace in the Middle East and Africa, and dignity for refugees fleeing misery and conflict around the globe.

Francis delivered the traditional “Urbi et Orbi” (Latin for “to the city and to the world”) speech from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to more than 70,000 cheering tourists, pilgrims and Romans in the square below.

In his first Christmas message since being elected pontiff in March, he asked for all to share in the song of Christmas angels, “for every man or woman ... who hopes for a better world, who cares for others,” humbly.

Among places ravaged by conflict, Francis singled out Syria, which saw its third Christmas during civil war; South Sudan; the Central African Republic; Nigeria; and Iraq.

In Iraq on Wednesday, militants targeted Christians in two attacks, including a bomb that exploded near a church during Christmas Mass in Baghdad. The separate bombings killed dozens of people.

The Vatican has been trying to raise concern in the world for persecution and attacks on Christians in parts of the Middle East and Africa.

“Lord of life, protect all who are persecuted in your name,” Francis said.

Adding an off-the-cuff remark, Francis said he was also inviting non-believers to join their desire for peace with everyone else.

The pope also prayed that God “bless the land where you chose to come into the world and grant a favorable outcome to

the peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians.”

Francis then explained his concept of peace.

“True peace is not a balancing of opposing forces. It’s not a lovely facade which conceals conflicts and divisions,” the pope said. “Peace calls for daily commitment,” Francis said, reading the pages of his speech as they were ruffled by a chilly wind.

Francis also spoke of the lives of everyday people, especially those struggling for a better life.

Recalling the hundreds of migrants who have drowned this year while trying to reach European shores, including many close to the Italian island of Lampedusa, Francis prayed that refugees receive hope, consolation and assistance.

He added that “our thoughts turn to those children who are the most vulnerable victims of wars, but we think, too, of the elderly, of battered women” and others.

The 77-year-old pope kept to the simple style he has set for his papacy. Wearing a plain white cassock, Francis presented a sharp contrast in appearance to the pope who stood on the same balcony on Christmas exactly a year ago. Then Benedict XVI, who was soon to stun the world by retiring, read his Christmas speech while dressed in a crimson, ermine-trimmed cape. Benedict lives on the Vatican grounds, and Francis paid a holiday call on him earlier this week.

In another break with tradition, the Argentine-born Francis stuck to Italian for his Christmas greetings, forsaking a custom of wishing happy holidays in dozens of languages to the crowd below the balcony.

hip with quips The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Pastor Mike Butzberger insists he only had holiday spirit in mind when his Florida church’s marquee read, “Christmas — Easier to spell than Hanukkah.”

But after a passer-by told him she found the message offensive and a local television station inquired about it, the Lighthouse Baptist Church preacher hustled to blunt any uproar by begrudgingly changing the sign to: “Jesus Loves You.” “By no means would I as human or Christian ever put anything on the sign with the intention of hurting or insulting,” Butzberger told The Associated Press from his church in North Palm Beach, Fla. “The purpose of the sign is to draw people to God, which is, in our ‘business,’ what we’re selling.”

Welcome to the challenge for pastors eager to update the age-old practice of luring in worshippers with messages on marquees out front of the church. Long the place for Gospel quotes and Christmas Eve sermon hours, now the signs are often clever, pithy or funny. But pastors are finding that joking about religion is serious business, and it’s easy to cross a line.

When Darrin Lee launched his suburban Detroit church six years ago, he had just 11 members, a rickety old building and a plywood board marquee. The sign was replaced, thanks to a benefactor’s $5,000 donation, with a roadside one Lee now uses for slogans he credits for helping his Cornerstone Baptist Church flock grow to more than 100.

“I think that sign added life to this church, saying, ‘Hey, we’re up to date. We’re not some old relic church,’” he said

from his church, which is passed daily by about 45,000 vehicles. “When you look at other churches with marquees that don’t put up messages, I think they’re missing the boat.”

Though he has hit a few bumps. One of his slogans — “Don’t Let Worry Kill You. Let The Church Help” — made the rounds on Facebook and Twitter, leaving him to offer the obligatory confirmation that “obviously we’re not in the killing business.”

One caller wanted to chat about evolution after his marquee read, “If Man Came From Apes, Why Do We Still Have Apes.”

Dozens of websites and social media sites collect pictures of church signage, celebrating those that seem to work — “Many Who Seek God at the Eleventh Hour Die at 10:30” — or panning others, such as, “Stop, Drop and Roll Doesn’t Work in Hell.”

Some even inspired books. Pam Paulson and her husband, Steve, took a four-year, 122,000mile trek through all 50 states to chronicle interesting church marquees after noticing the changing signs at two churches near their Florida home.

With a van full of hundreds of maps, it was a slow go after the Sept.

11 terrorist attacks, with churches seldom straying from patriotic themes. But around the middle of the decade, Pam Paulson said, cleverer messages began emerging.

“A lot of people we talked to thought it was just a good way to get people to at least acknowledge their church.

It was true,” the 59-yearold Methodist said. “We weren’t looking for the humorous, but they were always the ones that caught our attention.”

loyalty wins out The Associated Press

WEST MONROE, La. — “Faith. Family. Ducks.”

It’s the unofficial motto for the family featured in the TV reality show Duck Dynasty and that homespun philosophy permeates nearly everything in this small north Louisiana town.

It’s perhaps most on display at the White’s Ferry Road Church of Christ in West Monroe, where the Robertson family prays and preaches most Sunday mornings.

The family — including patriarch Phil Robertson, who ignited a controversy last week when he told a magazine reporter that gays are sinners and African-Americans were happy under Jim Crow laws — were in a front pew this past Sunday.

And standing by beliefs they say are deeply rooted in their reading of the Bible.

The rest of the flock, decked out in Duck Dynasty hats and bandannas, stood by the family and the sentiments Phil Robertson expressed.

Alan, Robertson’s eldest son, helped deliver a Christmas-themed sermon. He started off by referring to last week’s controversy.

“Hope your week went well,” he dead-panned.

“Ours was kinda’ slow.”

He was referring, of course, to Phil’s forced hiatus: TV network A&E suspended Phil last week after remarks about blacks and gays caused a public uproar.

But the controversy barely resonated above the organ music at White’s Ferry Road Church. Son Willie — the CEO of the multimillion dollar Duck Commander duck call and decoy enterprise that inspired reality show producers to give the family a show — put

on camouflage wader overalls and baptized three people, including one man with cancer.

“Who’s going to be the lord of your life?” he asked, before dipping the man back into the baptismal pool at the front of the church.

To the people of West Monroe, this is the Robertson family: honest, family-focused and filled with the love of God and Jesus. It’s the family that brought the spotlight to West Monroe, population 13,000, and in doing so put in sharp relief the cultural, political and religious differences that define — and often divide — America.

Folks here don’t care that Phil Robertson told a GQ reporter that gays are sinners who are going to hell. Or that as a youth he picked cotton with African-Americans and never saw “the mistreatment of any black person.

Not once.”

They do care that A&E suspended Phil. The move, they say, was unfair and an affront to viewers, to the Robertsons and to Christians everywhere.

“The program and his comments take a snapshot and it doesn’t represent the totality of what the guy is all about,” said Richard Laban, the owner of Redneck Roots, a downtown West Monroe store that sells some ‘Duck Dynasty’ T-shirts and souvenirs.

“A&E reacted entirely too quickly,” added Laban. “They really treated Phil as if he was a terrorist.”

With its lakes and rolling hills and pine forests, West Monroe in northern Louisiana is Duck Country USA, a place where Robertson and his four sons built an empire on duck call devices and decoys before becoming wildly popular TV stars.
