Corinth’s first showcase of experimental and electronic music is coming this weekend.

Electrofest 2012 begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the American Legion Post 6 building on South Tate Street.

“When lots of people hear you say ‘electronic music’ they think about a rave — and we’ve got heavy dance music for anybody who wants to come out and dance — but we’ve also got all different styles of music for people to come out and enjoy,” said concert organizer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ben Ricketts.

In addition to Ricketts’ own eclectic musical style, the show will feature a range of musically diverse bands from around the area, including: Argiflex, Kofaxx, Not Sure, Tonic, SO DUMB and an opening acoustic set by Witt Lucas.

“We want people to come and dance, and we also want to attract music fans who are interested in hearing something different, something they’re not used to hearing,” the organizer Please see ELECTROFEST | 2A

Thieves target Dollar General Culprits chain safe, drag through storefront

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

KOSSUTH — Area law enforcement agencies are working together to solve the recent break-ins of three Dollar General stores.

The latest took place on Christmas Eve at the store on Highway 2 in Kossuth. Stores in Eastview, Tenn., and the community of Thaxton in Pontotoc County have also taken place over the past three weeks.

Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department Investigator Reggie Anderson believes the local crime is related to the one in Pontotoc County.

“In both incidents, a white pickup has been mentioned and there were two male subjects,” said Anderson.

911 received an alarm call from the Kossuth store at 3:05 a.m. on Dec. 24. When Alcorn County deputies Mike Billingsley and Scott Dalton arrived, they found the front doors open and someone had been in the store, according to Anderson.

Local authorities believe the break-in of this Dollar General store in Pontotoc County is related to a crime committed in Kossuth on Christmas Eve. Another Dollar General store was hit in Eastview, Tenn.

“It appeared no merchandise was missing,” said the investigator. “Evidence shows that two

white subjects entered the front of the store and pulled the safe out with some type of logging

chain.”

The safe, which contained a large amount of cash, was pulled out the front of the store by the vehicle. Significant damage was done to the front of the store.

Dollar General wasn’t able to reopen until Thursday afternoon.

Individuals with information about the break-in can call the sheriff’s office at 286-5521 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-773TIPS. “Any assistance the public can give would be greatly appreciated,” said Anderson, who is being assisted by investigators Heath Thomas and Tommy Hopkins.

The Thaxton crime, which happened Dec. 10 around 3:43 a.m., is very similar to the Kossuth case. According to Pontotoc County Investigator Chris Patterson, two while males pulled up to the front of the store in a white pickup. They Please see BREAK-IN | 2A

Arena readies for some roundball

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Crossroads Arena is ready to tip things off.

For the ninth consecutive year, the facility will be the host for the Alcorn County Tournament. Games to crown the county's top hoop squads begin Thursday.

“I think the tournament is going to be the best one we have had in a while,” said tournament director Jimmy Whitaker. “On the boys side, all four teams are pretty good, and the girls should be really competitive.”

The Corinth Warriors and Kossuth Lady Aggies are the tournament's top seeds.

Schools voted to move the ACT — which in the past was rotated among the four county schools of Alcorn Central, Biggersville, Corinth and Kossuth — to the multi-purpose arena in 2004. The first tourney was held the following year with a record 3,804 attending.

Last year, 3,217 attended the three-day tournament. The

Effort started to name highway after fallen Marine

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

An effort is underway to name a Crossroads area highway after a fallen hero.

The Prentiss County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution last week asking the state legislature to name a portion of Mississippi Highway 4 in honor of the late Sgt. Jonathan Lambert of New Site.

Lambert, a U.S. Marine, was killed in an accident while serving on active duty in Iraq on June 1, 2003. The resolution seeks to name the stretch of Highway 4 from the Highway 371 intersection at Hobo Station to the Tishomingo County line the Sgt. Jonathan Lambert Memorial Highway.

Sen. J.P. Wilemon will introduce a bill during the next legislative session to have the highway renamed and officials hope to have an official designation by next spring. Lambert was the son of Becky Lambert and Johnny Lambert of New Site.

His mother, Becky Lambert, said she’s extremely grateful for the e f fort to honor h e r son.

S h e said s h e began seriously Lambert pushing for a memorial highway to honor his memory after a conversation with Jonathan’s daughter, Kinsey who is now 11.

Kinsey, who was 2 years old when her father was killed in Iraq, asked her grandmother one day why there wasn’t a road with her father’s name on it.

Lambert said she had the opportunity to meet Mississippi Northern District Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert earlier this year during the dedication ceremony naming the state transportation headquarters building in Jackson in honor of

former Speaker of the House Billy McCoy. She shared her story with Tagert, a retired Marine, who encouraged her in her efforts.

She said Wilemon quickly agreed to help and she’s also spoken with State Rep. Tracy Arnold, who agreed to support the legislation in the state house.

Lambert said the section of the highway chosen to honor her son is significant because he grew up at New Site and graduated from New Site High School and the highway travels through the area where he spent most of his life before joining the Marine Corps.

She said though it’s been nine years since his death, her son’s memory is never far from her mind and she believes it’s important to keep his memory alive and help others remember the sacrifices made by him and other service members who have given their lives in the service of their country.

“He will forever be my hero,” she said.

Keenum named to accreditation council STARKVILLE — The president of Mississippi State University is a newly elected executive council member of the top accreditation body for regional institutions of higher learning.

Mark E. Keenum, a Corinth native, recently was elected to a term on the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges’ Executive Council. The 13-member council is the executive arm of the Board of Trustees with primary responsibility for interpreting commission policy and procedure. It also functions on behalf of the commission between sessions.

In 2011, Keenum was elected to a three-year term on the SACS board of trustees. He will serve through 2013 on the 77-member body representing some 800 institutional members. Keenum is in his fourth year as the 19th chief executive of MSU, from which he holds bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in agricultural economics. Prior to be-

ing named president in late 2008, he was under secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

As a commission trustee, Keenum helps determine policy, and review and make decisions regarding the accreditation of member institutions awarding associate, baccalaureate, master’s or doctoral degrees.

SACS is the recognized regional accrediting body in the 11 U.S. Southern states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia) and in Latin America for those institutions of higher education that award associate, baccalaureate, master’s or doctoral degrees. The Commission on Colleges’ Board of Trustees is the representative body of the College Delegate Assembly and is charged with carrying out the accreditation process.

To gain or maintain accreditation with the Commission on Colleg-

es, an institution must comply with the standards contained in the Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement and with the policies and procedures of the Commission on Colleges. The Commission on Colleges applies the requirements of its Principles to all applicant, candidate and member institutions, regardless of type of institution (public, private forprofit, private not-forprofit).

Mississippi State University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, masters, specialist and doctorate degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Mississippi State University.

Hopkins said E.S. Bishop brought Boyd to Corinth to work in the school.

Before becoming an educator, he served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He graduated from Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Ark., and went on to earn a master’s degree at Mississippi State University.

His diverse background also included work with D&D Photography Services and a stint as a radio announcer for WCMA. Boyd was also on the board of directors of the Corinth Housing Authority for many years. At a literacy council reception in honor of Boyd in 2010, Don Morgan, the housing authority CEO, shared memories about his expe-

riences with Boyd.

“Many times down through t h e years, James and I h a v e b e e n on different paths,” Morgan Boyd s a i d at the time. “There’s one thing I can always say about him … we never failed to talk and try to understand things. There’s not a finer person that I’ve ever had the honor of working with. I can’t think of anybody else I ever could have worked with and got as much out of as James Boyd.”

4A • Friday, December 28, 2012

Corinth, Miss.

Our nation on its knees My favorite part of the budget negotiations is when a glum-looking John Boehner — backed by the vulpine Eric Cantor, eyes blazing — steps in from of the cameras and accuses Barack Obama of “not negotiating in good faith.” And he does it with a straight face.

Apparently, good faith negotiation to a Republican consists of demanding unconditional surrender and an apology for disagreeing in the first place. This qualifies as theater of the absurd. Republicans can’t even negotiate in good faith with each other, for crying out loud, let alone with the Donald president of the United States.

I had high hopes. I admit it.

Kaul The economy was starting to Other Words revive, we had beaten the barbarians back from the gates of the city in the election and Mr. Obama seemed informed by a new resolve.

I was encouraged by Obama’s tough talk at the onset of the budget negotiations. He was prepared to cut the size of government and gradually reduce Social Security benefits through a complicated formula, yes. But he was also going to let tax rates rise by a few percentage points on income of more than $250,000 to even things out.

That wasn’t good enough for the Republicans. They kept holding out for no rate hikes on the rich, instead leaning heavily on taking money and benefits from the sick and the disabled to balance the budget.

Then Obama offered to raise the tax threshold to incomes of $400,000 or more.

“Oh no,” I said to myself. “He’s starting to negotiate with himself again. He always does that and he always loses.”

But then John Boehner, the Republican Speaker of House, started to negotiate with himself too. He offered to accept a tax rise for incomes of $1 million or more.

This, of course, was unacceptable to Democrats but, as it turned out, the Republican knuckle-draggers in the House wouldn’t go along either.

So, at this writing, there we are, on the very edge of the fiscal cliff with no easy way back.

(Republican conservatives have an ancient Greek warrior streak in them. They stake out a position, then burn the boats they came in.)

One thing the Republicans were able to agree on was to cut out the cuts in military spending that were coming as part of the cliff deal and apply them to other spending in the budget — frills like subsidies for higher education, public housing for the poor, the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

As New York Times columnist Eduardo Porter put it: “Without such spending, the government becomes little more than a heavily armed pension plan with a health insurer on the side.” And not a very good insurer at that.

Every once in a while, the question arises of whether the United States of America constitutes “the greatest country in the world.”

Most Americans, say: “Sure we are.”

Really?

I’ve always had my doubts about that.

Whenever international rankings of nations come out — categories like infant mortality, educational achievement, even overall “quality of life” — the U.S. seldom cracks the top 10.

The one place where we have absolute, undisputed supremacy is the percentage of our people who are locked up. With just five percent of the world’s population, we’ve got 25 percent of the planet’s prisoners. We rank No. 1 in this regard, well ahead of the muchlarger China, which also happens to be a police state, and Russia, where they put singers in jail for making fun of Vladimir Putin.

Those just don’t seem like the kind of statistics the greatest country on earth should generate.

Nor would it put up with a political system where a determined group of informationally challenged zealots could bring the nation to its knees on any pretext that struck its fancy.

We’re a pretty good country — don’t misunderstand me. I’m glad I live here. But the greatest on earth?

I’d like a second opinion.

(Daily Corinthian and OtherWords columnist Donald Kaul lives in Ann Arbor, Mich. OtherWords.org)

Prayer for today Lord, help us learn the art of active, consistent service while maintaining enough silent spaces to hear your call. Amen.

A verse to share The God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” . . . has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

— 2 Corinthians 4:6 (NRSV)

P.O. Box 1800 Corinth, MS 38835

Sharing random thoughts on the passing scene When I was growing up, an older member of the family used to say, “What you don’t know would make a big book.” Now that I am an older member of the family, I would say to anyone, “What you don’t know would fill more books than the Encyclopedia Britannica.” At least half of our society’s troubles come from know-it-alls, in a world where nobody knows even 10 percent of all.

Some people seem to think that, if life is not fair, then the answer is to turn more of the nation’s resources over to politicians — who will, of course, then spend these resources in ways that increase the politicians’ chances of getting reelected.

The annual outbursts of intolerance toward any display of traditional Christmas scenes, or even daring to call a Christmas tree by its name, show that today’s liberals are by no means liberal. Behind the mist of their lofty words, the totalitarian mindset shows through.

If you don’t want to have a gun in your home or in your school, that’s your choice.

But don’t be such a damn fool as to advertise to the whole world that you are in “a gun-free environment” where you are a helpless

target for any homicidal fiend who is armed. Is it worth a human life to be a politically Thomas correct moral Sowell exhibitionist?

The more I Hoover Institution study the history of intellectuals, the more they seem like a wrecking crew, dismantling civilization bit by bit — replacing what works with what sounds good.

Some people are wondering what takes so long for the negotiations about the “fiscal cliff.” Maybe both sides are waiting for supplies. Democrats may be waiting for more cans to kick down the road. Republicans may be waiting for more white flags to hold up in surrender.

If I were rich, I would have a plaque made up, and sent to every judge in America, bearing a statement made

by Adam Smith more than two and a half centuries ago: “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.”

If someone wrote a novel about a man who was raised from childhood to resent the successful and despise the basic values of America — and who then went on to become President of the United States — that novel

would be considered too unbelievable, even for a work of fiction. Yet that is what has happened in real life.

Many people say, “War should be a last resort.” Of course it should be a last resort. So should heart surgery, divorce and many other things. But that does not mean that we should just continue to hope against hope indefinitely that things will work out, somehow, until catastrophe suddenly overtakes us.

Everybody is talking about how we are going to pay for the huge national debt, but nobody seems to be talking about the runaway spending which created that record-breaking debt. In other words, the big spenders get political benefits from handing out goodies, while those who resist giving them more money to spend will be blamed for sending the country off the “fiscal cliff.”

When Barack Obama refused to agree to a requested meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — the leader of a country publicly and repeatedly threatened with annihilation by Iran’s leaders, as the Iranians move toward creating nuclear bombs — I thought of a line from the old movie classic “Citizen Kane”: “Charlie

wasn’t cruel. He just did cruel things.”

There must be something liberating about ignorance.

Back when most members of Congress had served in the military, there was a reluctance of politicians to try to tell military leaders how to run the military services.

But, now that few members of Congress have ever served in the military, they are ready to impose all sorts of fashionable notions on the military.

After watching a documentary about the tragic story of Jonestown, I was struck by the utterly unthinking way that so many people put themselves completely at the mercy of a glib and warped man, who led them to degradation and destruction. And I could not help thinking of the parallel with the way we put a glib and warped man in the White House.

There are people calling for the banning of assault weapons who could not define an “assault weapon” if their life depended on it.

Yet the ignorant expect others to take them seriously.

What Vietnam plus-50 is like today HANOI, Vietnam — It has been 50 years since President John F. Kennedy ordered U.S. “advisers” to South Vietnam to help battle the communist North and 37 years since the end of that divisive war and the country’s unification under Communism.

Today, Vietnam is fighting a war with itself.

A local TV program reminds a visitor of Chinese propaganda “operas” circa 1970. Performers, some wearing military garb with a backdrop of missiles and an American B-52 bomber going down in flames, commemorate the 1972 Christmas bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong ordered by President Richard Nixon.

Banners and posters in the streets reinforce the government’s history lesson.

Younger people, who substantially outnumber the old guard, seem mostly indifferent to these messages, because few lived through the war. An American official tells me just 4 percent of the population belongs to the Communist Party.

While there are large pockets of poverty between and even within major cities like Ho Chi Minh City,

Da Nang and Hanoi, prosperity is making inroads.

The 1-yearold Da Nang airport is Cal more modern Thomas than some U.S. airColumnist ports. Luxury hotels, clothing stores and restaurants abound. While many cater to foreign travelers, many locals wear stylish Western clothes and transport themselves on motorbikes and in cars. Twenty years ago, the primary mode of transportation was the bicycle.

Vietnam eagerly wants to conclude a trade agreement with the United States known as TPP. Among other things, it would allow for more capital investment here and more Vietnamese goods to be sold in the United States. Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Phuong Nga tells me that since normalization of relations in 1995, the U.S. has become the “eighth-biggest foreign investor in Vietnam,” totaling $10 billion.

U.S. officials say human rights issues, including more religious freedom,

Mail Rates 1 year - - - - - - - -$198.90 6 months - - - - - - $101.60 3 months - - - - - - $53.45

are holding up American approval of the new trade deal. I asked Madame Nga about this and the recent sentencing of three bloggers to between four and 12 years in prison for criticizing the government.

She deflects the question by noting press criticism of government corruption (true) and claims people have freedom of speech so long as they do not cause “harm,” a word open to interpretation in a one-party state.

Vietnam recently opened two new areas to exploration for the bodies of American soldiers missing in action.

Madame Nga says Vietnam has “actively worked with and supported the U.S. in finding the MIAs during the last 20 years,” but notes that on the Vietnamese side “about 3 million MIAs remain to be found.” She also says “there are more than 3 million Vietnamese known as victims of Agent Orange ... while thousands of hectares of land are contaminated with dioxin.” She adds her appreciation for money provided by Congress to help victims and clean land, but she says more is needed.

objectives, seeing economic and political liberalization as a strategy to achieve among the Vietnamese people what America failed to in pursuing their “hearts and minds” in the war.

Professor Carlyle A. Thayer of the University of New South Wales, an expert on Vietnam, said recently, “Vietnam is motivated to keep the U.S. engaged in Southeast Asia, and the South China Sea in particular, as a balance to China,” which claims some territorial rights in conflict with Vietnam and is a formidable economic and military power on its northern border.

Vietnam is in transition, and it is unrealistic to expect too much progress too quickly. Considering where it was when the U.S. left in 1975, the country appears to be inching in a positive direction. Those Americans who died here left behind the seeds of democracy, capitalism, and a desire for prosperity and freedom.

Whatever one’s view of that war, it can be said they did not die in vain.

State Briefs Associated Press

New Albany liquor petition gets under way NEW ALBANY — A citizen’s group calling itself “New Albany Spirit’ is starting a petition drive calling for an election on whether to legal sale of wine and liquor in the city.

Union County voted against legalizing liquor in 2008 and again early this year — the second time by a wider margin than the first.

A new law passed this year allows a city of more than 5,000 people to hold an election if its county has previously voted on and rejected it.

Mary Jennifer Russell, one of the group’s lead-

ers, tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that it was only fair for lawmakers to allow cities to decide such issues independent of people who do not live in the city.

New Albany voters approved beer sales in 2010.

No one qualifies to run for alderman DERMA— Derma town leaders will soon learn if anyone wants to be a member of the board of aldermen.

Officials tell WCBI-TV of Columbus that no one filed papers to run in the Jan. 8 special election for alderman. The winner would have replaced the late Richard Blaylock.

Blaylock served 23 years

on the board of aldermen.

Since nobody wanted to run, the board of aldermen will appoint Blaylock’s successor. The board meets after the first of the year.

costs.

The current hospital is located 300 yards from the Gulf of Mexico.

The $133 million project will relocate the 144bed acute care facility to 35 acres just off Interstate 10 in north Biloxi and four miles north of the coastline.

The relocated facility will be known as The Hospital at Cedar Lake.

HMA operates Biloxi Regional Medical Center and nine other hospitals in Mississippi.

Jobless rates fall JACKSON — Unemployment rates fell from October to November in all but one of Mississippi’s 82 counties, according to figures released

Thursday. Jobless rates also fell from November 2011 in 81 counties.

Issaquena County was the exception, with the jobless rate rising to 13.8 percent, up from October and last year.

Rankin County’s 4.6 percent remained the lowest jobless rate. Clay County’s 16.1 percent remained highest.

Most counties saw unemployment fall because fewer people sought work. The number of people telling surveyors they had jobs fell in 53 counties. In larger counties, employment grew only in Forrest and Lamar counties.

County-level rates aren’t adjusted to cancel out predictable seasonal changes.

Seasonally adjusted, the state’s jobless rate fell to 8.5 percent in November from October’s 9 percent. November 2011’s rate was 10.6 percent.

Police: Missing woman found dead JACKSON — Authorities say a Jackson woman’s body was found in North Mississippi on Christmas Eve and a Canton man is facing a murder charge in her death.

Police say Cera White Cannon was last seen around 10 a.m. on Christmas Eve. Family members tell WJTV Cannon was out doing last minute Christmas shopping.

Newtown trying to give kids a sense of normalcy

BY PAT EATON-ROBB Associated Press

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The children at the Sandy Hook Elementary school won’t be returning to classes for another week, but officials from the town, school district and local agencies are doing their best in the meantime to keep them occupied following a massacre at their school two weeks ago.

The students have not attended school since a gunman killed 20 of their schoolmates and six adults on Dec. 14.

They are slated to return to a different school next Thursday.

In the meantime, they’ve been treated to field trips, toy giveaways and some organized play time.

“A couple of the teachers have done pizza parties,” said Janet Robinson, Newtown’s school superintendent. “Another met her kids at the library so they could have a little reading time together.

The most important thing has been connecting the students back to their teacher and their classmates.”

The Newtown Youth Academy, a nonprofit sports center, opened its doors to all kids in town at no cost shortly after the shooting. But from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. last week, the building’s turf field,

basketball and tennis courts, and giant inflatable obstacle course were reserved just for Sandy Hook Elementary students.

There have been arts and crafts for the smaller kids, as well as face-paintings. Some celebrities, including two members of the Harlem Globetrotters and former University of Connecticut basketball star Tina Charles, also have stopped by to play with the children.

UConn’s men’s basketball team was making a trip Thursday.

“The idea was to get them away from the house, the television and all the coverage of this tragedy and get them to a place where kids can just be kids,” said owner Peter D’Amico, a longtime youth coach in town.

On Thursday afternoon, school buses were loading up at the Youth Academy for a trip to Stamford and a larger complex, Chelsea Piers, which also has ice rinks and an indoor swimming pool, he said.

Sports celebrities, such as Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries, planned to meet them there. No media were allowed.

University of Connecticut psychologist Julian Ford, who spent time counseling in Newtown in the first days after the shooting, said it’s important for the grieving pro-

cess to include an outlet that lets children know that while things will never be the same, it’s OK to enjoy life.

“They are all going to be thinking about what happened,” he said. “That, unfortunately, is inescapable. But this gives them a chance to say, ‘Life is carrying on.’ Nothing will be the same, but it’s also continuing in ways that it should be.”

Some students and their parents on Thursday toured the Chalk Hill school in Monroe, a former middle school being reopened next week for the Sandy Hook students.

An open house is planned for Wednesday.

“Getting back into the school is like getting back on the horse,” Robinson said. “Some of the scariness is gone once they cross that threshold. They are just so happy to see their teachers.”

State police said they plan to keep their contact with the children to a minimum as they continue investigating the shooting.

“We certainly don’t want to traumatize them any more than they’ve already been traumatized,” said Lt. J. Paul Vance, the department’s spokesman. “If (an interview is) not necessary it won’t be done. Our investigators will make all those determinations.”

they could, but legislators left them with no choice. State law forbids schools, districts or college campuses from imposing their own gun restrictions.

Educators say they have no way of knowing how many teachers are armed. Gun-rights advocates estimate 1 percent of Utah teachers, or 240, are licensed to carry concealed weapons. It’s not known how many do so at school.

steady for most while letting them rise at upper incomes. The bill “would pass overwhelmingly,” Reid predicted, and said the Ohio Republican won’t change his mind because he fears it might cost him re-election as speaker when the new Congress convenes next week.

Boehner seems “to care more about keeping his speakership than keeping the nation on a firm financial footing,” he said in remarks on the Senate floor.

A few hours later, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell expressed frustration and blamed the standoff on Obama and the Democrats. “Republicans have bent over backwards. We stepped way, way out of our comfort zone,” he said, referring to GOP offers to accept higher tax rates on some taxpayers.

Nation Briefs Associated Press

Storm blows through East CONCORD, N.H. — A muted version of a winter storm that has killed more than a dozen people across the eastern half of the country plodded across the Northeast on Thursday, trapping airliners in snow or mud and frustrating travelers still trying to return home after Christmas.

The storm, which was blamed for at least 16 deaths farther south and west, brought plenty of wind, rain and snow to the Northeast when it blew in Wednesday night. Lights generally remained on and cars mostly stayed on the road, unlike many harder-hit places including Arkansas, where 200,000 homes and businesses lost power.

By afternoon, the precipitation had stopped in parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, though snow continued to fall in upstate New York and northern New England.

Parts of snow-savvy New Hampshire expected as much as 18 inches.

Dale Lamprey, who was clearing off the sidewalk

outside the legislative office building in Concord, already had several hours of shoveling under his belt by 8:30 a.m. Thursday and didn’t expect it to get much better.

“I’m going to be shoveling all day, just trying to keep up with the snow,” he said. “Which is impossible.”

The Northeast’s heaviest snowfall was expected to be in northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York and inland sections of several New England states before the storm heads into Canada on Friday, National Weather Service spokesman David Roth said.

While the East Coast’s largest cities — New York, Philadelphia and Boston — saw mostly high winds and cold rain, other areas experienced a messy mix of rain and snow that slowed commuters and those still heading home from holiday trips. Some inbound flights were delayed in Philadelphia and New York’s LaGuardia, but the weather wasn’t leading to delays at other major East Coast airports.

President George H.W. Bush’s family sought privacy and provided no new details Thursday about his medical condition, a day after his spokesman said he’s in intensive care after being hospitalized for treatment of a bronchitisrelated cough.

Bush spokesman Jim McGrath said he would put out another statement “when events warrant it,” citing the family’s right to and desire for privacy.

Bush, 88, entered Methodist Hospital in Houston on Nov. 23 for treatment of what McGrath has described as a “stubborn” cough. He had spent about a week there earlier in November for treatment of the same condition.

It was hoped Bush would be well enough to spend Christmas at home. But while his cough improved, he developed a persistent fever. McGrath disclosed Wednesday that Bush, the oldest living former president, had been transferred to the intensive care unit Sunday and his condition was downgraded to “guarded.”

“He needs to rally,” McGrath said. “We continue to be cautiously optimistic.”

The former president has had visits from family and friends, including longtime friend James Baker II, his former Secretary of State. Bush’s daughter, Dorothy, arrived Wednesday from her home in Bethesda, Md. Other visitors have included his sons George W. Bush, the 43rd president, and Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor.

Bush and his wife, Barbara, live in Houston during the winter and spend their summers at a home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Bush had served two terms as Ronald Reagan’s vice president when he was elected in 1988 to succeed Reagan. Four years later, after a term highlighted by the success of the 1991 Gulf War in Kuwait, he lost to Democrat Bill Clinton amid voters’ concerns about the

economy.

Gun group offers training for teachers WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — English teacher Kevin Leatherbarrow holds a license to carry a concealed weapon and doesn’t see anything wrong with arming teachers in the aftermath of the deadly Connecticut school shooting.

“We’re sitting ducks,” said Leatherbarrow, who works at a Utah charter school. “You don’t have a chance in hell. You’re dead — no ifs, ands or buts.”

Gun-rights advocates in Utah agree and were offering six hours of training Thursday in handling concealed weapons for 200 Utah teachers in the latest effort to arm teachers to confront school assailants.

In Ohio, a firearms group said it was launching a test program in tactical firearms training for 24 teachers. The Arizona attorney general is proposing a change to state law to allow an educator in each school to carry a gun.

The moves come after the National Rifle Association proposed placing an armed officer at each of the nation’s schools after a gunman on Dec. 14 killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

There are already police officers in some of the nation’s schools.

Parents and educators, however, have questioned how safe the NRA proposal would keep kids, whether it would be economically feasible and how it would alter student life.

Some educators say it is dangerous to allow guns. Among the dangers are teachers being overpowered for their weapons or students getting them and accidentally or purposely shooting classmates.

“It’s a terrible idea,” said Carol Lear, a chief lawyer for the Utah Office of Education. “It’s a horrible, terrible, nogood, rotten idea.”

Utah educators say they would ban guns if

Congress bickers on fiscal cliff WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama returned to the White House on Thursday from a vacation shortened by government gridlock while Democrats and Republicans snarled across a partisan divide and showed no sign of compromise to avoid year-end tax increases and spending cuts.

Adding to the woes confronting the middle class was a pending spike of $2-per-gallon or more in milk prices if lawmakers failed to pass farm legislation by year’s end.

White House aides disputed reports that Obama was sending lawmakers a scaled-down plan to avoid the “fiscal cliff” of tax increases and spending cuts. They gave no indication he would invite congressional leaders to a White House meeting either late Thursday or possibly on Friday.

Top Senate leaders said they remain ready to seek a last-minute agreement. But a little more than four days from the deadline, there was no legislation pending in either the House or the Senate to prevent the tax hikes and spending cuts that economists say could send the economy into a recession.

Far from conciliatory, the rhetoric was confrontational and at times unusually personal.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused House Speaker John Boehner of running a dictatorship, citing his refusal to call a vote on legislation to keep taxes

Biden swears in Schatz as new Hawaii senator WASHINGTON — Brian Schatz symbolized a generational change in Hawaii’s Senate delegation, taking the hand of his new colleague, 88-year-old Sen. Daniel Akaka, moments before being sworn in Thursday as the successor to the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye.

Vice President Joe Biden administered the oath of office in a chamber peopled by a dozen Democratic senators and a handful of Republicans.

As he walked up the center aisle to meet Biden, Schatz, 40, took Akaka’s hand and helped the frail Democratic senator, who is retiring, stay at his side.

Schatz had flown to Washington hours earlier on Air Force One with President Barack Obama.

Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie named Schatz, who had been lieutenant governor, to succeed Inouye. Inouye died last week of respiratory complications at the age of 88.

The selection went against the dying wishes of Inouye, who is revered in Hawaii politics. He had wanted Rep. Colleen Hanabusa to succeed him.

Consumer confidence index

Investor Pulse

Rising anxiety over the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? led to a drop off in holiday spending and a second straight monthly decline in consumer confidence.

Although consumer confidence tumbled in December due to fears of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliff,â&#x20AC;? average investors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expressing such concerns.

Indeed, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more optimistic about stocks than theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in nine months. A weekly survey of investor sentiment has risen in sync with the market since the middle of last month. Even so, rising investor optimism hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prompted many to put their money back into stock mutual funds.

Consider that 44 percent of investors said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re optimistic about the outlook for stocks over the next six months in the Dec. 26 survey by the American Association of Individual Investors. Sentiment has become more positive since mid-November when just 29 percent were bullish. Investors hoped that lawmakers could avert the tax increases and spending cuts set to begin Jan. 1.

Yet with no cliff deal in sight, optimism may be wearing thin. Stocks have fallen for four days in a row. The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index has slipped 2 percent since Dec. 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If investors wait too long for the comfort of the crowd to increase their tolerance for risk and invest in stocks, they may pay dearly,â&#x20AC;? says Bob Turner, chief investment officer of Turner Investments.

Business barometer

Crude oil cache

A closely watched index of business activity is expected to increase for the third month in a row.

Economists anticipate that this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading of the Institute for Supply Managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chicago business barometer will be 51.

A number above 50 indicates U.S. economic activity is growing, while readings below 50 suggest the economy is contracting.

The Energy Department reports its latest weekly tally of U.S. crude oil stockpiles today.

The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crude oil supplies fell two weeks ago by 0.3 percent to 371.6 million barrels. That translates to a decline of about 1 million barrels, about half of what analysts expected. A drop in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crude oil inventories typically boosts the price of oil.

Warriors win opening game in tournment

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

DYERSBURG — The Corinth Warriors hit 15 straight free throws in the second half in downing New Madrid, Mo., 52-49 at the Dyersburg Christmas Tournament.

Desmin Harris was 9-of-11 from the line -- all in the second half -- and hit three of four down the stretch to seal the third of four boys’ games on Thursday.

Corinth (10-3) will face the host club in tonight’s final semifinal bout at 7 p.m.

The Warriors trailed 21-15 at the break and trailed by double digits early in the second half. Corinth pulled back to within four points after three quarters and went up for good on a Kendrick Williams bucket with just over two minutes left.

Harris paced Corinth, which ended a two-game slide with 15 - 12 in the final half. Freshman Antares Gwyn had a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Williams chipped Please see CORINTH | 9A

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The last month was pure chaos for quarterback Brendon Kay and the Cincinnati Bearcats.

That made Thursday night’s Belk Bowl victory all the more rewarding.

Duke running back Josh Snead fumbled at the Cincinnati 5 with 1:20 left and Kay threw an 83-yard touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce with 44 seconds to go, lifting the Bearcats to an improb-

able 48-34 win over the Blue Devils.

The Bearcats won without former head coach Butch Jones and both coordinators who helped guided them to the postseason.

Kay, who set a Belk Bowl record with four touchdown passes and was named the game’s MVP, called it a “huge win.”

“It’s really been chaos for the last month ... pure chaos,” Kay said. “We’ve played it off as it hasn’t been but it

was pure chaos from the time we found out (Jones) he was leaving.”

Almost as chaotic as their latest win.

With the score tied at 34 and Duke driving for a goahead score, Snead fumbled and Kay capitalized with his go-ahead scoring pass to Kelce. Nick Temple capped the wild finish with a 55-yard interception return with 14 seconds left.

“We were figuring we might get one more shot as an of-

fense and when we got the fumble we looked at each other and said we’ve worked way too hard to quit now,” Kay said.

Kay quickly took advantage of the change in momentum after the Snead fumble, finding Kelce down the middle on a seam route. Kelce got behind the Duke defense and caught the ball in stride, racing the final 60 yards to the end zone as Blue Devils fans Please see BELK | 9A

Net loss: Brooklyn fires Johnson as coach

BY BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Coach of the month in November, out of a job by New Year’s.

The Brooklyn Nets have elevated expectations this season, and a .500 record wasn’t good enough. Coach Avery Johnson was fired Thursday, his team having lost 10 of 13 games after a strong start to its first season in Brooklyn.

“We don’t have the same fire now than we did when we were 11-4,” general manager Billy King said at a news conference in East Rutherford,

N.J. “I tried to talk to Avery about it and we just can’t figure it out. The same pattern kept on happening.”

Assistant P.J. Carlesimo will coach the Nets on an interim basis, starting Friday night with a home game against Charlotte. King said the Nets might reach out to other candidates, but for now the job was Carlesimo’s. The GM wouldn’t comment on a report that the team planned to get in touch with former Lakers coach Phil Jackson.

King said the decision to dismiss Johnson was made

by ownership after a phone discussion Thursday morning. Owner Mikhail Prokhorov had expressed faith in Johnson before the season.

“With the direction we were going we felt we had to make a change,” King said.

Johnson was in the final year of a three-year, $12 million contract.

“It’s a really disappointing day for me and my family. It’s my wife’s birthday. It’s not a great birthday gift,” Johnson said. “I didn’t see this coming. But this is ownership’s decision. It’s part of the busi-

ness. Fair or unfair, it’s time for a new voice and hopefully they’ll get back on track.”

The Nets have fallen well behind the first-place New York Knicks, the team they so badly want to compete with in their new home. But after beating the Knicks in their first meeting Nov. 26, probably the high point of Johnson’s tenure, the Nets went 5-10 and frustrations have been mounting.

“Our goal is to get to the conference finals,” King said.

looked on in stunned silence.

It was a play called Left Texas 60, Y Go Burst, with three receivers running seam routes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I threw the ball and I was just hoping he would turn and look,â&#x20AC;?

Kay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking until the last second and it worked out great.â&#x20AC;?

Kay also threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Ralph David Abernathy, and 25-yard scoring strikes to Anthony McClung and Chris Moore. George Winn also ran for a 46-yard touchdown for Cincinnati. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like a point guard dishing out the ball,â&#x20AC;? Kay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys were making plays.â&#x20AC;?

Cincinnati (10-3) finished with its fifth 10-win season in six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was one of our goals,â&#x20AC;? said Bearcats interim coach Steve Stripling.

Duke quarterback Sean Renfree threw for 358 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; another Belk Bowl record â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for the Blue Devils (6-7), who were seeking their first bowl win since 1961. Conner Vernon, the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, had 190 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in his final game for the Blue Devils.

But the big play for Duke was Sneadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fumble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartbreaking because we wanted to win this game for our seniors,â&#x20AC;? Snead said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as a team, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to learn from this and build off the momentum from this. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great teammates. They encouraged me to keep my head up. If you have a little adversity, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to face it.â&#x20AC;?

Duke coach David Cutcliffe said the loss was tough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This feeling in our guts is not very good right now,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to move forward with this. The biggest insult we can give our seniors is to not move forward from this and we will do this.â&#x20AC;?

Duke, which came in having allowed 51 points and an average of 294.5 yards rushing over its previous four games, struggled to stop Cincinnati after the first quarter.

The Bearcats piled up 554 total yards of offense, including 130 yards on the ground by Winn.

Duke wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too shabby on offense, either, combining with the Bearcats for a Belk Bowl-record 1,114 yards.

Woman ponders how she survied 2011 fire

MDMR hosts trips for officials

BY MICHAEL NEWSOM The Sun Herald

Associated Press

STAMFORD, Conn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Since the fire at her Connecticut home on Christmas Day of last year that took the lives of her three daughters and her parents, Madonna Badger has wondered why she survived.

Badger, a New York advertising executive until the 2011 fire in Stamford, made it through the funerals for her children and parents. Then she fell apart, she told the Hearst Connecticut Media Group (http://bit.ly/UsPBvi).

Her hair turned gray and fell out in clumps.

She waved a fistful of pills in the air and threatened to swallow them.

Badger traveled to Little Rock, Ark., in February to live with a friend from their college days.

She says the only condition was that she promised to not commit suicide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why I survived,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told everyone I was going to kill myself.â&#x20AC;?

The fire killed 7-yearold twins Grace and Sarah Badger, 9-yearold Lily Badger and their maternal grandparents, Lomer and Pauline Johnson. The city investigated and determined the cause was accidental.

Firefighters arrived and dragged Badger off the burning building. A friend also survived the fire.

Badger remembers lying in a hospital bed for hours, screaming for her children. A doctor took her hand and told her

that her daughters and parents had died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember coiling up into a little ball and I looked at the nurse,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to crawl out of my body.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember anything after that. People in the hospital said I was just screaming and wailing.â&#x20AC;?

Badger wears three bracelets on her wrist, one for each daughter.

Grace gave her the beaded bracelet on Christmas Eve and Madonna was wearing it when she escaped the fire. Two leather bracelets symbolize Lily and Sarah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not here with me physically, but here with me spiritually and every other way, I still want to be a great mom,â&#x20AC;? Badger said.

Badger is keeping her house in Little Rock and rented a loft in Brooklyn and plans to start working again in January.

She traveled to Thailand on Christmas with several suitcases of her daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toys, collected from her garage after the fire.

She planned to donate them to at-risk girls at an orphanage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Claus and retail signs and gift wrap and Christmas lights just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it for me right now,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it ever will.â&#x20AC;?

Badger said she believes love is the legacy her children leave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to write a masterpiece or a symphony. This is really it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What saves you, what saves us all, is love.â&#x20AC;?

BILOXI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A photo on Facebook shows a group of Mississippi legislators and other influential folks grinning with the fish they caught from a boat the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources charters.

Another photo shows a separate trip some have called a birthday excursion for Jackson County Board of Supervisors President John McKayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandson and his friends â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a characterization the official says isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t correct. The photos of the two trips surfaced as the agency is already caught up in controversy because of federal and state investigations of its spending practices.

State Senate Ports and Marine Resources Chairman Brice Wiggins, RPascagoula, was on the outing for lawmakers and other officials in June.

Wiggins said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch many fish, but he was able to meet with other officials, which he said was valuable to him, as at the time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been chairing the committee for only a few months.

He bristled at the notion the excursion might have been a way for the agency to win favors from powerful lawmakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the DMR or anybody thinks that a fishing trip such as that is going to influence me, then they are sorely mistaken,â&#x20AC;? Wiggins said.

McKay, Wiggins and the other officials on the June trip say nothing untoward was going on.

McKay said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the officials were given any special access to

the boats because of their positions in government, and that all guidelines given to him by MDMR officials were followed on the two trips he took.

MDMR officials have defended the use of their boats, as well as charter boats, to take officials out as a way of teaching lawmakers and the public more about what they do, which they say has benefits. They say on some trips, fish are also tagged and released and samples are taken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have taken legislators and other individuals who can be helpful to our departmental programs out to our islands and reefs,â&#x20AC;? MDMR executive director Bill Walker said an emailed statement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to allow them to better understand the importance of continuing to create these habitats and to populate them with fish produced through aquaculture partnerships, and to help them understand the necessity of conserving and protecting these critical habitats which are important to the economic sustainability of our charter fleet, our commercial fishermen, and our recreational fishermen.â&#x20AC;?

Walker said his group has used charter boats when foundation-owned boats were not available, but so far the agency has not answered questions asked by the newspaper about expenses for the fishing trips.

Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration records show DMR has paid Silver Dollar II Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Biloxi charter company it used for the June legislative trip â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $21,715 since

2009, some $7,560 of it coming since July 1. Several of the payments came in increments of about $2,600. Dustin Trochesset, a captain with Silver Dollar, said the company has done business with MDMR for several years, like other local charter companies.

As for those on the June excursion, some said they were unaware of the MDMRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in the trip. Wiggins said, at the time, he was unclear how the trip was being paid for, but he thought it was a private charter. Wiggins and others said McKay invited them.

The county supervisor and Bill Walker go way back. When McKay was Ocean Springsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recreational director in 1971, Walker was president of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Walker) has always been straightforward and honest in every situation I ever knew him to be in,â&#x20AC;?

McKay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever we casually were talking about this boat, and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, if you ever have an opportunity to use it, let me know.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question what the criteria was, who had been asked (to use the boat), who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been asked, any of those questions, because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there was anything wrong with it because I trust Bill Walker to this day, until heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proved otherwise.â&#x20AC;?

Among those on the Silver Dollar III that day were Sen. Tony Smith, R-Picayune; Senate Highways and Transportation Chairman Willie Simmons, D-Cleveland; state House Ports, Harbors and Airports Chairman Alex Monsour, R-Vicksburg; and McKay. Parks McNabb, Lt. Gov. Tate Reevesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; director of legislative affairs, was also aboard, but a spokeswoman for Reevesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office said McNabb was invited

by Jackson County officials, and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of MDMRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement.

Jackson County Chancery Clerk Terry Miller and County Comptroller Joshua Eldridge were also on the trip.

Monsour drove down to the coast on the morning of the outing, which lasted about half a day. He had

been told going into the trip the group would use a MDMR boat, and county supervisors and lawmakers were going to be there.

The politicians and others aboard the boat were fed sandwiches and boiled shrimp, he said.

Monsour said the trip was a productive one, as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not able to meet with Coast folks very often, even though many port and harbor issues his committee deals with involve South Mississippi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being the chairman, I needed to go down there and visit with the county supervisors on some issues and touch base with the guys down there,â&#x20AC;?

Monsour said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to visit with the local delegation down there like everybody else does on a day-to-day basis, so when I do get to meet with them, I do.â&#x20AC;?

The August birthday trip on the Silver Dollar charter boat wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually that, McKay said. The trip had been scheduled several months before, but McKayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother died in July. McKay had to call Bill Walker and tell him he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to make the trip planned for himself, his grandson and friends.

He said later Bill Walker told him there would be an opening on the boat, which happened to be near McKayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. About 10 children, many of whom were McKayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends, went out that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happened to be within one week of my grandsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday,â&#x20AC;?

McKay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just casually called it (a birthday trip), even though we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a cake, there was no presents, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything. It was just word of mouth thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it was. It just happened to fall that way and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything planned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at it from the standpoint of offering kids an opportunity theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had before, it was money well spent,â&#x20AC;?

McKay said of the halfday kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were all rich, rich people, and had our own big boats that would go wherever you wanted to go, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a waste of money.â&#x20AC;?

Healthy immune systems help stop illnesses

BY KAITLYN BYRNE MSU Ag Communications

MISSISSIPPI STATE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Each year, cold and flu season threatens to steal New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday happiness, but a healthy immune system can prevent sickness from ruining the start of the new year.

Brent Fountain, registered dietician and associate Extension professor in Mississippi State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Health Promotion, said a healthy diet can strengthen the immune system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants that are helpful in fighting free-radicals that can damage your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cells,â&#x20AC;? Fountain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A multi-vitamin may help, but it is best to get the vitamins and minerals straight from your food.â&#x20AC;?

Fountain said antioxidants include beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E. These antioxidants can be found in foods, such as carrots, cantaloupes, beets, broccoli, oranges, apples and sweet potatoes.

Certain protein sources, such as red meat, poultry, tuna, beans and nuts, contain zinc and selenium, which Fountain said also help strengthen the immune system.

Fountain said that exercise is a healthy activity, but it also puts stress on the body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you feel like you may be getting sick, it is best to avoid exercise because of the additional demands it places on your body,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Problems such as dehydration can occur and make an illness worse.â&#x20AC;?

He said practicing good hygiene when sharing gym equipment is especially important in the winter months.

A common way to prevent sickness is through a flu vaccination, which Fountain said can be beneficial but is not a guarantee against illness.

Deree Webb, director of nurses at MSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Longest Student Health Center, said personal hygiene is vital during flu and cold season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During this time of year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to stay aware of personal space,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Try not to breathe too closely to others, especially if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re noticeably sick. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a good idea to eat or drink after other people, but it is even more important to avoid doing that during flu season.â&#x20AC;?

Despite changes, pipe organs endure

BY DIRK LAMMERS Associated Press

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The pipe organ has ruled the Christian worship sanctuary for centuries, and the majestic instrument continues to reign supreme in many Roman Catholic and mainline Protestant parishes.

It’s a tougher sell for congregations moving toward contemporary worship.

The growth in praiseband led services, combined with a nationwide shortage of qualified organists, is prompting many congregations to leave pipe organs out of their new construction plans.

Jerry Aultman thinks that’s a mistake.

The longtime organist and music professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological said the pipe organ doesn’t need to be relegated to funerals and weddings, and it fits nicely into modern worship when used in the right way.

“We shouldn’t abandon the organ in contemporary music styles,” said Aultman, who plays each Sunday at First Baptist Church in Dallas.

“The organ is a wonderful instrument to blend in with any kind of instrumental ensemble.

It can fill in a lot of holes in the sound.”

The pipe organ, which dates back to the third century B.C., “has always been the choice for churches who want one musician to fill the room with sound,” South Dakota organ builder John Nordlie said.

The instrument has been considered expensive throughout its history, with current price tags ranging from $100,000 to well into the millions.

But pipe organs hold their value and can last for generations if they’re well-designed and wellmaintained, he said.

Nordlie crafted his first instrument in 1977 for a church in Appleton, Minn., and has built

nearly 50 organs in Sioux Falls shop.

Each part is handcrafted, from the wood and metal pipes that turn airflow into notes to the ornate cabinetry that houses the massive structures.

Although electronic and digital instruments can try to emulate the sound of wind being pushed through pipes, “they will never match the sound of the pipe organ,” Nordlie said.

“The difference is there,” he said. “Whether you take the time to listen carefully is entirely up to you.”

The large megabuilders of the 1960s have largely disappeared, but numerous smaller companies are building as many instruments as they can turn out, said James Weaver, executive director of the Organ Historical Society.

Weaver said music aficionados still value the incredible amount of craftsmanship put into

each organ. For proof, he points to the top-of-the line organs being built for municipal concert halls such as the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

“The idea of a handmade instrument is something which is just still quite a wonderful thing in our society and it’s something that we really care about,” Weaver said.

Another factor contributing to the organ’s decline is a fewer number of musicians qualified to sit behind the consoles.

The pipe organ is a complex instrument, and playing it well requires intensive training and practice.

Weaver said the number of organ students dropped tremendously a few years ago as musicians worried about whether their degrees would lead to jobs. He

said he’s starting to see a turn-around.

“Now there are more positions available I think,” he said.

Aultman agreed. He said there are fewer universities offering organ degrees, but the ones that remain are stronger.

“There are still students that are majoring in organ, and there are still churches that will hire them and pay them a living wage,” he said.

“And I think that’s just going to get better.”

Aultman urges organists who want to make a living to embrace contemporary styles. He suggests that organists trained to playing only off of sheet music to learn play off chord charts like Nashville studio musicians.

“My advice to organists is, ‘Don’t be a snob,”’ he said. “You’re not going to probably find a position where you can play all Bach preludes and fugues for the bulk of your work.”

New Israeli right-wing leader Bennett worries Netanyahu

BY ARON HELLER Associated Press

RAANANA, Israel — The charismatic new leader of Israel’s Jewish religious right is siphoning a large chunk of votes from the prime minister’s party, according to polls ahead of Jan. 22 elections, and if the trend continues, the high-tech millionaire and former commando could emerge as a powerful voice opposing Palestinian statehood.

Though Naftali Bennett, the 40-year-old son of American immigrants, is a classic religious hardliner, comfortable in the settlements he champions, he has been able to draw on his military and entrepreneurial background to widen his appeal to secular circles as well. His sprawling, modern home in Raanana, an upscale suburb of Tel Aviv, is far from the barren hilltops of the West Bank settlers who form the backbone of his support.

Polls show his Jewish Home party becoming the third-largest in the upcoming parliament, behind Netanyahu’s Likud-Yisrael Beitenu bloc and the centrist Labor. As Bennett’s party gains ground, it has been steadily eating into Netanyahu’s still-formida-

ble lead. Several of Netanyahu’s recent moves, including a surge in settlement construction announcements, have been attributed to the “Bennett factor.”

Philosophically, Bennett and his party would fit easily into a hardline government of the type Netanyahu is expected to put together, though the political newcomer and the Israeli leader — his former boss and political mentor — have a history of bad blood that deepened over this past week.

Bennett’s campaign has enlivened an otherwise drab election season. The Jewish Home party currently has five seats in the 120-member parliament, but polls since Bennett took over the leadership show it could win up to 15 in the election. Bennett says his goal is to broaden the base of his party by appealing to centrist, secular voters alongside the traditional backing of settlers and their supporters.

His political message, however, doesn’t sound centrist.

“My positions are very clear: I never hide the fact that I categorically oppose a Palestinian state inside our country,” Bennett told The Associated Press. In the ter-

minology of religiously devout hard-liners, “our country” means not only Israel, but also the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which the Palestinians hopes to incorporate into a future state, with east Jerusalem as its capital.

Bennett takes pride in his straight-talking campaign and accuses other politicians — including Netanyahu — of being “ambiguous.”

Bennett, a father of four, also has an image perhaps more palatable to the Tel Aviv hipsters he hopes to target: Success on their secular terms.

After serving in the elite Sayeret Matkal commando unit, Bennett made a fortune in the largely secular world of high technology. In 1999, he co-founded Cyota, an anti-fraud software company that he sold in 2005 to U.S.-based RSA Security for $145 million. He says he is living in Raanana, rather than a settlement, for unspecified “personal reasons.”

“There is a huge gap between his appearance and his content,” said Amnon Abramovitch, a veteran political commentator for Israel’s Channel 2 TV. “He looks very modern, he speaks very liberally, but his messages are very ex-

treme.”

Bennett rejects the barbs, saying his positions are clear and distinctly hawkish: He opposes a Palestinian state, the uprooting of settlements and territorial concessions that most of the world deem necessary for peace. He’s presented a plan that calls for the annexation of much of the West Bank territory Israel currently controls.

“I say the same thing everywhere I go,” he insists. “The mistake is to categorize me as extreme.”

Evidence that Bennett was a political force to be reckoned with came this week when Israel’s top-rated comedy show, “A Wonderful Country,” introduced a new character, iBennett: a user-friendly app that shows a broadly smiling Bennett-lookalike making extremist political pronouncements — described as bugs in the system.

Netanyahu hit back after Bennett told a TV interviewer last week that he would personally prefer to go to jail than to obey an order to evict Jewish settlers from their homes under a peace deal, as happened when Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005.

The prime minister summoned all three major Israeli TV stations for rare domestic interviews and announced that anyone who preached insubordination in the military would not be welcome in his next government.

Netanyahu’s camp then followed up with a campaign of posters and newspaper ads depicting Bennett as irresponsible and extremist.

Bennett says his comments have been distorted, that he wasn’t preaching insubordination but voicing his own personal opinion.

“I think people are looking for the truth and are drawn to real people who speak at eye level, even if sometimes they make mistakes,” he said.

“It was an unfortunate comment, but aside from wars I don’t think the prime minister ever calls all the TV stations to him at once. The public isn’t buying this spin and rejects it entirely.”

Despite the campaign conflicts, Bennett insists he can work with Netanyahu.

“The question is who will be by his side,” he said. “Netanyahu will drive the bus, but I refuse that he be alone at the wheel. I’ll be there to put a hand on the wheel and influence where it goes.”

Have you gotten away from the truth?

A few days ago I had the privilege of viewing one of Rev. Billy Graham’s sermons that he gave in Australia in 1959. In this sermon he talked about truth. Do you know the truth?

In tod a y ’ s modernism or politically Gary Andrews correct society we, Devotionals as Christians, have allowed ourselves to be caught up in the world and have gotten away from the truth. It seems that Christians of today are afraid to stand up for the truth and, like so many of our churches, we give the feel-good testimonies that rub and sooth feelings instead of stating what the Bible tells us to do.

You may ask, “What is the truth?”

According to the Bible Jesus is the Truth! He told us so in the gospel of John chapter 14, verse 6; “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

According to Rev. Graham there were many philosophers that claim to know everything but all of them said they were still searching for the truth.

“Buddha himself stated before he died that he was certain he never found the truth,” said Graham.

“And so it is with Mohammed and Confucius also.

Neither ever stated they were the truth or ever found the truth, however Jesus Christ said He is the truth.”

All through John’s gospel Jesus says, “I tell you the truth...” For those of us who know Jesus personally, know the truth.

For this we should always be truthful in all that we do, however it is the sinful nature of our humanistic ways that lead us astray.

It is human nature for us to think that we can tell a little white lie and be okay in God’s eyes. We try to live by Jesus’ teachings such as not coveting, lusting, having pride, being self-centered, but we don’t.

The world does not know the truth. The only way we can know the truth is through our faith in Jesus Christ. The only way anyone can ever be truthful is when they are walking with Jesus, and that road is straight and narrow. Yes, we all get off that road too many times.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for loving me enough to die on the cross for my sins. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within me to counsel me and keep me on the straight and narrow path that you have so well defined. Amen.

Grandmother’s photo collage brings back painful memories DEAR ABBY: My daughter was repeatedly date-raped at the age of 16. Her predator threatened to kill her if she ever told, so she kept it to herself until she could get away from him. It was a very scary time in her life, but with the help of counseling she is working through it and moving on with her life.

The problem is, while visiting with my in-laws it was pointed out to us that my mother-in-law had made a collage of pictures and included in it the person who raped my daughter. In all, there are five pictures of him in group settings. When my husband asked her calmly to remove them, she refused.

She says it would punish the other grandchildren if she removed the pictures, and it would “ruin her collage.” We have asked her three times, but she refuses to budge. She says we all need counseling and that the request is completely out of line. Do you think our request was out of line? – APPALLED IN ILLINOIS DEAR APPALLED: Of course not! Was your mother-in-law aware of what this person had done

Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

to her granddaughter when the collage was created? If so, her reaction is bizarre and unbelievably

insensitive.

Approach her once more and ask if she would agree to take the collage to a photographer so your daughter’s attacker can be digitally edited out of it. If that’s not possible, perhaps she would agree to take down the collage when your family visits.

However, if the response to that request is also negative, I wouldn’t blame you if you went there very rarely, if ever.

DEAR ABBY: What do you say to people when they tell you they will “pray for you” when you’re dealing with an illness or other life tragedy if you are a nonbeliever?

Statistics say that 34 percent of Americans are nonbelievers, so please address this to the 34 percent who share my feelings of appreciation for the sentiment, but feel

like hypocrites for playing along to reciprocate their kindness. I wonder if any of your nonbeliever readers can share how they internally deal with this dilemma. – NONBELIEVER, BUT GRATEFUL DEAR NONBELIEVER: I’m sure they will, in droves. However, because nonbelievers physically resemble those who are believers, and nonbelievers don’t usually wear symbols indicating their nonbelief, it’s understandable that someone of faith would attempt to offer comfort that way.

And most people battling a serious illness welcome a “blast of positivity,” whether it is couched in religious terms or not.

When someone offers to pray for you, it’s usually because the person cares about you, knows you are sick and feels helpless to offer anything more to help. Accept it for what it is, and say thank you rather than tell the person that what they offered is, in your eyes, worthless.

That’s called being gracious – regardless of your religious or nonreligious convictions.

DEAR ABBY: My

husband of eight years will not resolve his foot odor problem. We live in a small apartment, and it’s humiliating when we have company and half the apartment smells like stinky feet.

He refuses to wear socks, and his solution in winter is to open all the windows and turn on the fan as soon as he returns from work. The “airing out” never completely gets rid of the smell – and I freeze! How can I get him to change? – FED UP IN MANHATTAN DEAR FED UP: You obviously can’t change your husband, but you don’t have to risk getting pneumonia, either. Shoe repair shops sell deodorizing products in the form of sprays and powders.

Or buy a large container of baking soda, and when your husband removes his shoes, dump a cupful into each one. They next day the smell should be gone.

Horoscopes English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley consoled the moon “wandering companionless” through the sky, asking: “Art thou pale for weariness/Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth?” No need for concern now, as the full moon is robust with emotion in her home of Cancer and quite content on her own, thank you very much.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be inspired to share what you find funny, helpful or heartfelt.

And if it’s not received exactly the way you expected, at least you’ll know your crowd a little better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have charisma, so you don’t have to push or persuade to get your way. Relax and be who you are. Those who are uncertain will gradually come around to your

way of thinking.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Good fortune in the early stages of a project doesn’t promise a happy ending. But you’ll figure out the essential steps and continue steadily on until you get results.

CANCER (June 22July 22). The full moon in your sign brings an emotional fullness. You’ll express your feelings with ease in their own language, which probably has very little to do with words.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Don’t stand on the edge watching everyone else have a good time. This moment is for you, too.

Claim it. The full moon close to your part of the sky is a push onto the dance floor of life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). It’s easy for people to get so preoccupied with what they want out of a situation that they

lose perspective. You don’t want anything, and that gives you a definite advantage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The word “karaoke” means “empty orchestra” in Japanese. If you’re not singing, the orchestra around you will mourn the loss. Nothing will seem complete until you add your voice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most of the pains of life fade naturally with time. Toothaches are the exception. Toothaches don’t go away on their own. You’ll be a hero, solving a problem for someone that is the emotional equivalent of a toothache.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As is the case with most presentations, there is much to be worked out behind the scenes before the show is ready to bring to an audience. If you do

the work right, the result looks effortless. Don’t be fooled.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You don’t have to make a big fuss about giving your talents and your love. Those things can’t help but leak out in every small thing you do. The insightful person sees you in action and knows immediately who you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). With Mars newly in your realm, a strong motivational force is churning at your core. You can make fast progress on a project.

Onward with velocity!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll pay close attention to what others are doing and gain a competitive edge. You’ll see beyond the mechanics of a situation and into the soul of it. You’ll ponder the purpose and come up with an answer.

No one should ever assume a woman is pregnant based on her appearance Dear Annie: I am a fortunate mother of four beautiful little girls, all under the age of 8. While I am not overweight, I could be in better shape.

How do I handle strangers and distant acquaintances who approach me and ask me when my baby is due? I do have a little bit of a belly, but it is quite a stretch to assume that I am pregnant. I ¿nd this to be incredibly rude and then embarrassing when I have to say that I am not actually pregnant. I would never approach a stranger to inquire about her pregnancy unless she brought it up ¿rst.

It is always women, never men, who do this. One would think they might be a bit more understanding in this department. — No, I Am Not Trying for a Boy. Dear Not: We think people often open their mouths before their

Ask Annie brains are in gear.

No one should ever assume a woman is pregnant based on her appearance. It is asking for trouble.

But we will also say that if this happens to you so frequently that it is disturbing, you might want to reconsider your choice of clothing. You may be accentuating your tummy area more than you realize.

Dear Annie: I can relate to “S.W. in California,” the father who had a falling out with his daughter and she cut off contact.

In response, he took her out of his will.

My husband and I have traveled this road with our adult children. Some young adults are simply sel¿sh

and ungrateful. They expect their parents to tolerate everything they do (even drugs), allow their friends into the home (even drug pushers and felons), Blondie give them money at the drop of a hat (even when the parents are struggling ¿nancially), and allow them to use their home as a hotel or storage facility. If the parents don’t cooperate, the kids punish them by being abusive or keeping the grandkids away.

I am tired of being treated so poorly. I have loved Garfield unconditionally, and in return, I’ve received disrespect and a broken heart.

My job is done. — Indiana Mom. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@ comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
