The spirit of giving the holiday season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area. Donations continue to pour in for the 20th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund. A $25,000 fundraising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 5. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached. So far $15,745 has been raised, meaning $9,255 still has to be raised to meet the goal. Recent donations include a $500 from the Corinth Garden Club; $50 from Brenda, Hayden and Alyssa in memory of Tommy Park; $250 from Long Wholesale Distributors in honor of Long Wholesale employees; $100 from Jan Hurley in memory of James E. Price Jr.; $100 from

Another potent storm system brought a brief period of street flooding to the city Monday morning. It was only a little more than an inch of rain, but it came too quickly. “A lot of driveway culverts and a lot of the drains in the downtown just couldn’t keep up,” said Street Commissioner Philip Verdung. “Once the rain stopped, all of the roadways that were flooded were clear in about 30 minutes or

so. It drained out really fast.” Localized flooding hit some of the usual spots like Oak Lane and the Cass Street underpass. The underpass, which has had a mechanical issue that led to the waters backing up, was one of a couple of barricaded spots. “Wednesday night, we got called out there,” said Verdung. “One of the floats in that system had quit working. The pump was still operating, but it wouldn’t kick on until there was quite a bit more water in those pipes. We did not have an opportunity to repair

it before today’s event.” The storm began to exit the area soon after the torrential rain. “It looks like the main channels are starting to recede now just a little bit,” Verdung observed about 2:30 p.m. “They rose for quite some time after the rain stopped. Another 20, 30 minutes of rain like what we had this morning, we may have been in trouble.” Corinthweather.net shows 3.18 inches of rainfall in the city since Christmas Day and more than 7 inches for the month.

Man dies after hit by vehicle Staff reports

The Mississippi Highway Patrol is still investigating an early evening fatal traffic accident on Sunday involving a pedestrian in Alcorn County. Troopers responded to U.S. 72 near the Tippah County Line at approximately 6:55 p.m. Upon arriving it appeared Anthony Tippen, 40, of Walnut, was walking on the side of U.S. 72 when he was struck by a vehicle. Tippen died on the scene from injuries sustained in the crash, according to the MHP. The driver of the vehicle was not injured. The Mississippi Highway Patrol said Tippen was one of five people who died on state and federal highways during the Christmas holiday period from Wednesday through Sunday. In Lee County, 19-year-old Boonville resident Chaniqua Pierce died Wednesday on Mississippi 6 when her car hit a tree. Please see FATALITY | 6

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — The hiring of a new maintenance director in the McNairy County School System has already proven to be a success for the system. A combination of improved facilities and saving of money has been a real positive for the school district. McNairy County Director of Schools John Prince made the decision to hire a maintenance director earlier this year. His plan was to get someone to oversee the maintenance employees, take care of the 10 buildings in the system, and to save money that could be used

being collected at the hospital for Wednesday delivery to tornado victims. Donated items need to be delivered to the hospital by 10 a.m. Wednesday. Take items to Materials, through the double doors near Receiving, said a spokesperson for the hospital.

Items requested include washing detergent, garbage bags, toilet paper, tooth paste, toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, combs, brushes, gloves, candles, underwear for both youth and adults, battery-powered lights, hammers, rain gear and jackets, washcloths, towels, Ty-

elsewhere in the school system. Larry Smith, who had served as a school board member for many years, resigned his spot on the board and applied for the job. Smith was later hired as the McNairy County School System’s Supervisor of Maintenance from a competitive group of applicants for the position. “Mr. Smith has saved this district enough money in this semester alone at McNairy Central to pay for his salary,” said McNairy Central Principal Mickey Murphy. “He is always looking for something to work on and has been worth his weight in gold to us.”

Murphy mentioned that Prince had been criticized for hiring Smith, but the move has proven to be a successful one for everyone in the system. “I believe he has been the best hire John has made since he has been the Director of Schools,” praised Murphy. McNairy’s principal listed among the improvements at MCHS were new ceiling tiles in the commons, energysaver light bulbs, improved lighting in the Little Theater, and refurbished bathrooms. He has helped in the refurbishing of the planetarium at MCHS. A very determined man, he will

do his best to guide the planetarium’s restoration to a successful finish, noted the principal. Michie Principal Wayne Henry is just as pleased with Smith’s work at his school. “Mr. Smith has really been helpful at our school and is working on some big projects for us,” remarked Henry. “He is really good at organization and is always ready to take the time to help with whatever we need at Michie.” Henry said Smith has helped the school in the process of putting a new roof on the cafeteria, lowering some ceilings, putting in a new heating sys-

tem, and will oversee the building of the football team’s fieldhouse. Murphy laughed and said that Smith knows more people than anyone he has ever known. If you need something done at school, he knows someone who can get the job done. Smith has been a whirlwind of activity since taking the job and has worked many overtime hours to help improve the school system that he has loved for many years. Following the years of working on the school board, he is now contributing in a different way to the school system in McNairy County.

Corinth, Miss.

Random social issue will rile up legislators JACKSON — In a few weeks, the Mississippi Legislature will work itself into a lather about something. Nobody right now really knows what the topic will be. It could be abortion, gun rights Emily or gay marriage. It could be the Wagster state flag or Syrian refugees. It Pettus could be something trumped up by one or more of the presiCapitol Dome dential candidates. This has been a pattern the past few sessions: legislators convene in Jackson with a multibillion-dollar budget to write and proposed policies to debate on education, transportation, health care and other substantial issues that affect their constituents’ daily lives. And then, at some point, a legislator files a bill or resolution that taps into the (usually conservative) zeitgeist and sets Twitter on fire. The Legislature begins its four-month session — and its four-year term — on Jan. 5, and House Speaker Pro Tempore Greg Snowden, R-Meridian, said it’s hard to predict which issue will cause all heck to break loose. “Nobody really knows until you get into session,” Snowden told The Associated Press in an interview last week. “Every session, and certainly every term, has a different dynamic.” — In 2015, Republican Sen. Nancy Collins of Tupelo sponsored a bill called the Iran Divestment Act and said she did it at the request of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after she and Gov. Phil Bryant visited Israel in 2014. It would have prohibited state and local governments from doing business with any firm that sells at least $20 million of goods or services to Iran’s oil and gas sector. While several other states have similar bans, some Mississippi lawmakers said they worried that Collins’ original proposal could hurt the state’s working relationship with Toyota Motor Corp. or its subsidiaries. Her bill died during the legislative process, but a similar House bill became law. — In 2014, Republican Sen. Philip Gandy of Waynesboro filed a bill called the Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act that said state and local governments cannot put a substantial burden on religious practices. Critics said the bill could lead to anti-gay discrimination, and some businesses responded with window stickers to show they welcomed LGBT customers. Gandy, a Baptist minister, said his bill was similar to a federal law signed by President Bill Clinton more than 20 years ago. When Bryant signed the bill into law, he did it in a private ceremony attended by a few elected officials, lobbyists for the state’s Southern Baptist Convention and Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council. — In 2013, the Senate engaged in a debate one day about a resolution that recognized the borders of Israel. An exasperated Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, questioned whether Mississippi’s taking a stand on international relations was even necessary. “I think all of us support Israel, but it is not for us to hold forth as to what the boundaries of the country ought to be,” he said. The measure, sponsored by several senators, was adopted in the Senate and the House. Because it was a resolution, it didn’t need the governor’s signature. — In 2012, Democratic Rep. Steve Holland of Plantersville introduced a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” He grabbed headlines and was subject to scornful accusations of being a bigot. But Holland, a funeral home director known for saying whatever well he darn well pleases, said critics missed his point: He was satirizing anti-immigration rhetoric. The bill died an unceremonious death and the body of water that marks Mississippi’s southern border kept its name. (Daily Corinthian columnist Emily Wagster Pettus is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Prayer for today Eternal God, guard me against the love of praise, that I may not lose the sense of duty. Start me for the right places and give me strength with my days, that I may press toward their possession. Deliver me from drifting when it is mine to pull against the tide, that I may not be carried out of my course. Shield me from the storms that may gather about me, and bring us all to the desired haven safe in thy keeping. Amen.

A verse to share “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. Psalm 62: 5-8

Numbers show women lack representation STARKVILLE — On the eve of convening of the 2016 regular session of the Mississippi Legislature, perhaps it’s educational to take a look at the demographics of that group. There are 174 members of the Legislature – with 52 in the state Senate and 122 in the state House. The National Conference of State Legislatures and the Pew Center conducted a national study called “Who We Elect” that looked at legislative demographics including generation, gender, education, occupation, ethnicity and religion across the nation. The results are interesting. Gender demographics show that Mississippi lawmakers are 83 percent male and 17 percent female, while the state population is 51 percent female and 49 percent male. Ten states have female representation percentages equal to or lower than Mississippi’s. In terms of generation, nationally 13 percent of legislators come from the Silent generation born between 1928 – 1945, 55 percent from the Baby Boom born 1946 – 1964, 26 percent from Genera-

tion X born from 1965 – 1980 and five percent from Millennials born from 1981 Sid Salter to 1997. In Mississippi, Columnist 15 percent were Silent generation while 53 percent were Baby Boomers, 30 percent were Gen X, and two percent were Millennials. In the Mississippi Legislature, Baby Boomers hold 59 percent of the seats while only representing 29 percent of the overall state population. Religion among legislators saw Mississippi rack up an 89 percent protestant Legislature compared with 38 percent nationally. Protestants represent 77 percent of the state’s overall population. In race and ethnicity, whites hold 71 percent of Mississippi legislative seats while representing 58.8 percent of the state’s population. Blacks hold 28 percent of the state’s legislative seats, but represent 37.8 percent of the state’s population. Nationally, white hold

81.7 percent of legislative seats while blacks hold 8.6 percent of legislative seats. Occupation demographics indicate a Mississippi Legislature with 25 percent attorneys, 21 percent from business, 17 percent business owners, eight percent retired, seven percent professionals, five percent farmers and five percent whose occupation is listed as “legislator.” The remaining 14 percent is split between 12 percent “no data” or “other” and one percent “educator.” Age demographics show an average age in the Mississippi House of 57.1 years and in the Mississippi Senate of 57.0 years. The national average age of legislators is 56 years. The national average age is 46.7 years. Demographics measuring educational attainment are also in the NCSL/Pew report. In the Mississippi Legislature, three percent have less than a bachelor’s degree, 25 percent have a bachelor’s degree, 33 percent possess an advanced degree and 39 percent of lawmakers had an educational attainment that was either unknown or undeclared in the databases

studied. Interestingly, the Legislature serve a populace in Mississippi in which 79 percent of the people have less than a bachelor’s degree, 13 percent have a bachelor’s degree, and eight percent have advanced degrees. So the old saw about the Legislature in Mississippi being controlled by lawyers and farmers – as was decidedly true in my childhood in the 1960s – is no longer true. Nor is it true that lawyers dominate the Legislature. In 2016, when Republicans now have rather iron-clad legislative control, it’s not surprising that the largest occupational group in the aggregate is from the business community. In terms of legitimate gripes about representation, no single group has more right to complain about representation or the lack thereof than Mississippi’s female citizens – who are significantly under-represented and frankly more so than are African American Mississippians.

The known unknowns in the race ahead Some observations on the 2016 presidential race as we head into the dark period, i.e., the two weeks of Christmas and New Year’s holidays in which no one has ever dared, at least in the past, to conduct any polls. Those of us who pick over poll results will have to fly blind until the week starting Jan. 4. Which leaves us with two weeks to ponder, without much in the way of further evidence, the known unknowns of the 2016 Republican campaign cycle. They include: 1) How many of Donald Trump’s supporters will actually vote in caucuses and primaries? Poll analysts have noted that Trump is much stronger among non-college-educated than college-educated voters, that he tends to be stronger among those who haven’t voted in caucuses and primaries in the past than among those who have, and that he runs consistently better in robo-call and Internet polls than he does in live-interview polls. Under traditional rules of thumb, one would expect that many Trump fans won’t actually vote, and that his percentages will be well under the 33 percent he’s getting in national polls

and the 25 percent and 29 percent he’s polling in Iowa and New Hampshire. Michael That in Barone turn suggests he’ll Columnist have a low ceiling of support in later contests, since many, perhaps most, of non-Trump respondents have unfavorable feelings about him. In which case a candidate who emerges as Trump’s chief rival, or one of two candidates who rise to the top, will be nominated, much as candidates have been in the past. But maybe Trump supporters will actually turn out in large numbers, even those who haven’t been engaged in the past. Evidence for that includes the large crowds he’s been attracting and the huge viewership numbers for the Republican debates: 13 million to 24 million, far above the previous record of 8 million. 2) Will the Republican race boil down to a contest between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio? If Trump’s numbers fall or collapse, the focus will be on these two candidates, whose poll numbers have risen to dou-

ble digits nationally and in the two leadoff states. Cruz seems to have benefited in Iowa from the collapse in support for Ben Carson among religious conservatives. They have been a majority of past caucus-goers. But that won’t help him much in New Hampshire, where religious conservatives are scarce on the ground. Rubio is threatened there by the rising support for Chris Christie, who has been conducting dozens of town hall meetings and who had a strong debate performance last week. That’s in contrast to Jeb Bush, who has made no headway despite his super PAC’s $17 million in TV ads there. It looks like either Rubio or Christie will emerge as a strong contender from New Hampshire – but probably not both. 3) How will Rubio withstand the attacks coming his way? Though he isn’t leading the polls in any state, Rubio is the oddsmakers’ favorite to win the Republican nomination. He’s widely acceptable to Republican primary voters and is a smooth and articulate debate performer. His opponents evidently share the odds-makers’ view: He was the target of more at-

tacks in the Las Vegas debate than any other candidate, even Trump. 4) Besides the known unknowns, what unknown unknowns lie ahead? The Las Vegas debate centered on terrorism, which probably would not have been the case but for the San Bernardino attack 13 days earlier. That probably helped some candidates, notably Christie, more than others. That was not the first time that this contest was affected by what the British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan told a junior colleague determines history: “Events, dear boy, events.” And it probably won’t be the last. None of the Republican or Democratic candidates in 2008 expected that financial markets would collapse that fall, and they might have campaigned differently had they known. We can see the calendar ahead, but not everything that will appear on the pages.

Don’t get too comfortable with the familiar road Familiarity provides a certain level of comfort. There is a sense of safety along with predictability. Habits, routines, jobs, relationships, Bryan friends and Golden goals can all become Dare to Live f a m i l i a r . Without Limits The familiar road appears to be less risky. There is a supposed greater chance for success. The need for dealing with change is reduced. The familiar road may be one which follows someone who went before you. Your direction is based on what your parents, relatives, or friends

have done. Rather than taking your own path based on your strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes, you follow behind someone else. Familiarity is great when your life is on the exact track you desire. Familiarity works against you in situations where you are not where you want to be, but yet have decided to take the path of least effort. You don’t have to settle for situations or circumstances which are less than ideal. There are several strategies people use to justify staying on the familiar road in spite of the fact they are unhappy and unsatisfied. The most common tactic is making excuses for why they do not change course. They may

claim they can’t, don’t know how, are too old, are too young, lack experience, don’t have enough money, don’t want to take risks, or are short on time, etc. The excuses are limitless but the results are the same; to justify not making any changes. Another approach is to blame other people or circumstances for the route they are on. They develop a victim mentality by abdicating any responsibility for their own life. They stay on their familiar road because, for whatever reason, they have no choice. A third strategy is convincing one’s self that the familiar road they are on is actually the one they really want. They make statements such as, “It’s the best I can get,” “I

Cleanup after storm aided by volunteers Associated Press

HOLLY SPRINGS — Hundreds of volunteers helped Holly Springs homeowners clean up Sunday and get donated items to people whose homes were hit by last week’s tornado. Alderman-atlarge Tim Liddy said. The county emergency director and state workers were surveying damage to learn how many people are displaced longterm, he said. Liddy said about 200 volunteers were putting tarps on roofs, moving belongings to storage and checking on farm livestock. “Today we’re going to crank up chainsaws and going to start cutting nad cleaning up debris in the yards,” he said. Liddy said another 100 or so were collecting and distributing do-

nated goods, and bringing meals to homeowners and volunteers. The tornado hit north Mississippi on Wednesday. More than 400 homes were damaged, including about 250 that were destroyed or had major damage, said Greg Flynn, spokesman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency. He said the agency has requested preliminary assessments to see if Mississippi qualifies for federal disaster aid. “Those ... are scheduled to start Monday afternoon, weather permitting,” he wrote in an email. He says the death toll remains at 10, and nobody was missing. Gov. Phil Bryant has declared a state of emergency for all affected areas, letting local government ask for state help.

SPIRIT CONTINUED FROM 1

Lil Mike’s collected 248 votes while Cafe Mike’s had 181. Roger’s Supermarket finished third as 20 restaurants or supermarkets took part in the competition. Another two businesses donated to the event which raised funds for Oasis Medical Center and Jardin de Eden (Garden of Eden) Orphanage in Ecuador. A total of $545 was split between the two charities. “We didn’t reach our goal of $1,000, but more people are now open to the competition,” said Aylah Chelmowski, founder of the CSP competition. Isaac Floyd, a friend of Chelmowski’s who helped in the competition, was excited about being involved in the event. “I love the cause,” said Floyd with his Santa hat and Christmas shirt on. “I couldn’t think of a better way to promote spirit … my favorite part was how serious the restaurants took the competition.” Lil Mike’s received a plaque and small cash prize. Cafe Mike’s was also presented a plaque. Winners were determined by a panel of judges and patrons of the establishment. “This is awesome,” said Guare. “Anytime they have something like this we are going to sign up.” Those participating in the contest were judged on friendliness, service, decor, lights, holiday music, Christmas trees, displays, costumes, greetings and Christmas specials. Next year, Chelmowski is going to change what organization will receive the proceeds. Money earned for the third competition will be spilt between Oasis and military troops. “We are humbled any-

time someone considers our work,” said Sam McDonald, Oasis board member. “It is very encouraging to see what two teens did and humbling to see young people interested in Oasis Medical Center.”

don’t deserve more,” “I really do like what I’m doing,” “Things could be worse,” or “I have responsibilities.” Their beliefs, whatever they may be, are designed to justify why they are where they are. The familiar road, if it’s not genuinely your ideal path, more often than not becomes a constraining rut. You don’t recognize the trap this has become because you are so comfortable. In order to achieve more and grow, you need to leave a limiting road which has become familiar. Exiting your comfort zone is essential. You have to climb out of the rut in order to explore new directions. Change should be welcomed, not feared.

In order to depart from the familiar road, you develop an understanding of yourself along with identifying goals which you find highly desirable. The road you want to follow is one based on your passions. Strip away all of the excuses. What is it you want to accomplish more than anything else? Changing direction usually isn’t accomplished overnight. Success is enhanced when you build confidence by making small changes before embarking on major shifts. Explore new avenues. Begin with small excursions down unfamiliar roads. Do something you haven’t done before just for the experience. You’ll realize your fear of change is not based

on reality but has grown out of proportion in your mind. Fear of change is overcome through action. Nothing will change until you make it happen. Life offers limitless opportunities. All roads are open to you. The only things constraining you to a particular path are your beliefs. Rather than formulating countless excuses as to why you are stuck, just come up with one reason as to why you can, and should, head out in a different direction.

Learning to accept ‘Jaybird’s Law’ BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Even though he had never heard of Murphy’s Law, which states, “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong,” my lifelong best friend and mentor, Jaybird, often quoted his own version of it, which I called Jaybird’s law: “If sumpin’ kin go wrong, hit will go wrong.” Whenever he stated it, I teased him about being pessimistic, but on one of our hunts, I learned not to take lightly the old black man’s law. Jaybird loved to hunt ducks and taught me the sport soon after Dad gave me a shotgun for my sixteenth birthday and told him to teach me to hunt. On one of our outings, dawn broke drizzly and overcast — perfect weather for ducks and duck hunters. When we stepped out of my truck not far from Jaybird’s duck blind, we heard the frenzied feed calls of what sounded like a million mallards. Eager to set out the decoys and get in the blind, we pulled on our waders. Feeling a sharp pain, I yelled, “Quick, Jaybird, help me get these waders off — I think something bit my toe!”

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? The most frequently played game among mankind today is the “waiting game.” We will put off (seemingly) whatever we can put off until the last

Off came the waders, and out ran a rat. Jaybird guffawed until tears ran down his cheeks. Pulling the waders back on, I thought to myself, maybe I shouldn’t take lightly Jaybird’s law. Heavy rains had saturated the Delta, and a narrow creek, usually shallow enough to wade across, was brimming at its banks. Hearing the quacking cacophony, I cast caution aside and stepped onto a log lying across the stream. “Junior, wit’ dem clumsy waders on, ain’t no way you gonna git to de other bank on dat slippery log,” Jaybird warned. “Let’s go on up de creek a ways until we find a better place to cross.” Ignoring my mentor’s warnings never failed to bring on misery, and sure

enough, four steps into my trapeze traipse across the log, I slipped and plunged into the water. Horrified, Jaybird was about to jump in to save me, but I was able to swim to the far bank. While draining my waders, I again thought to myself, maybe I shouldn’t take lightly Jaybird’s law. Wisely, Jaybird avoided the log and found a safer passage a short distance down the creek. We set out the decoys, and in no time bagged the limit. My Doberman pinscher Straw Boss was asleep in the truck cab when we returned, and I signaled for him to hop in the back. At Jaybird’s house, we divided the kill and removed our gear from the truck bed. “Lawd have mercy,” Jaybird moaned. “Look

what yo’ dad-gummed dog did to my waders.” Bored during the drive home, Straw Boss chose to exercise his fearful fangs by ripping his waders to shreds! Apologizing, I said, “My dog ruined your waders, and it’s only right that I buy you a new pair.” During the drive to my house, Straw Boss looked puzzled when I glared at him and said, “Never again will I take lightly Jaybird’s Law.” (Oxford resident, Ole Miss alumnus, Army veteran, and retired Mississippi Delta cotton farmer Jimmy Reed is a newspaper columnist, author, and college teacher.

Residents clean up after fatal twisters hit Dallas Associated Press

GARLAND, Texas — Jacqui Gordon spent Monday sifting through the debris that had been her home, searching for old family photographs — especially of her father, who died two years ago. She and nine others were enjoying a holiday gathering when winds began to rattle her home in suburban Dallas. They all dashed into closets and suffered only bumps and bruises, but Gordon’s

roof was torn away and her house destroyed. “I just got divorced, and this is all I had,” she said. At least 11 people died and dozens were injured in the tornadoes that swept through the Dallas area Saturday. Snow from New Mexico through the Midwest, plus flooding in Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois, added to the succession of severe weather events across the country in the last week that led to about four dozen deaths.

No charges against cop in boyâ€™s killing CLEVELAND â€” A grand jury declined to indict a white rookie police officer in the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, a black youngster who was shot to death while playing with what turned out to be a pellet gun, a prosecutor said Monday. Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said it was â€œindisputableâ€? that the boy was drawing the pistol from his waistband â€” either to hand the weapon over to police or show them it wasnâ€™t real â€” when he was gunned down. But McGinty said there was no way for the officers on the scene to know that. â€œSimply put, given this perfect storm of human error, mistakes and miscommunications by all involved that day, the evidence did not indicate criminal conduct by police,â€? McGinty said. He said patrolman Timothy Loehmann was justified in opening fire: â€œHe had reason to fear for his life.â€? Â

Hawaiians use DNA to receive benefits HONOLULU â€” When the state deemed Leighton Pang Kee ineligible for one of the most valuable benefits available to Native Hawaiians â€” land at almost no cost â€” because he couldnâ€™t show that he was at least 50 percent Hawaiian, he sued. Pang Kee knew he was, and needed to figure out a way to prove it. According to his lawsuit, his mother was at least 81.25 percent Native Hawaiian, but his birth certificate didnâ€™t

list his biological father. But he knew who his father was. Pang Kee, who was adopted, found his late fatherâ€™s brother, got a DNA sample that showed there was a 96.35 percent probability that Pang Kee and the man were related, the lawsuit said. While that initially wasnâ€™t enough for the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, the agency eventually settled, and has proposed rules that would allow the use of DNA evidence to prove ancestry. Hawaiians donâ€™t typically fixate on how much Hawaiian blood they have when it comes to asserting ancestral identity. â€œA Hawaiian is a Hawaiian is a Hawaiian,â€? said Michelle Kauhane, president and CEO of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement. â€œWhether they have a drop or more than 50 percent.â€?

College swimmerâ€™s drowning reviewed MIAMI â€” A Dartmouth College swimmer who died at a YMCA pool had been trying to complete four laps underwater without surfacing to breathe when he went into distress, according to a sheriffâ€™s office report released Monday. Tate Ramsden, 21, of Nashville, Tennessee, was pronounced dead at the Sarasota pool after lifeguards and emergency medical personnel could not revive him, according to the Sarasota County Sheriffâ€™s Office incident report. Ramsden was at the pool Saturday with his sister, uncle and a cousin. â€œTate had been swimming laps in the pool for some time and I was told he had swam approximately 4,000 yards before practicing his underwater swimming techniques,â€? Officer Douglas Stidham wrote in the report. â€œIt is believed he was likely attempting to complete a â€˜100â€™ which is four laps across the pool without surfacing for air.â€? At some point, Ramsdenâ€™s sister and cousin noticed that he was not moving underwater, and they alerted lifeguards who removed him from the pool, Stidham wrote.

Algae bloom linked to washed up fish WAVELAND â€” Thousands of dead fish have washed up ashore in Hancock County. The Sun Herald reports land servicing crews picked up about 15,000 fish along Waveland Sunday. Hancock County Chief Deputy Don Bass tells the newspaper the county has received calls over the past two weeks about dead fish washing ashore. He added that those instances were associated with the red tide algae bloom that spread throughout South Mississippi waters earlier in December. On Dec. 11, the red tide shut down oyster reefs across the coast. Spokeswoman for the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources Melissa Scallan says dead crabs may have washed ashore as well. The department will sample the

Warren County Emergency Management Director John Elfer told The Vicksburg Post. â€œThe National Weather Service is predicting the Mississippi at Vicksburg to be at 51 feet by Jan. 15.â€? He said county officials planned to participate in a National Weather Service conference call Monday afternoon about river conditions. The predicted crest is 6 feet below the record set in spring 2011, but 8 above flood stage. At 36.5 feet, Elver said, water starts affecting the Long Lake community, and at 39.5 feet the road to Long Lake becomes impassable about a mile north of that community.

Merry Christmas! We will be CLOSED on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day!

Home price watch An index of U.S. home prices has been creeping higher this year. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller index edged up to 182.9 in September. It’s been moving higher every month since February. The trend reflects how a lack of houses for sale has been forcing buyers to bid up prices on available properties. October’s reading is due out today.

VARIABLE ANNUITIES Popular, possibly risky As more baby boomers move toward retirement, variable annuities remain popular for their appealing traits: They are tax-deferred, they can provide lifetime income and they offer a range of investment options. Regulators are wary, though, because variable annuities have long been associated with aggressive sales and investor complaints. They’re often marketed to people nearing or in retirement. Variable annuities, which combine elements of mutual funds and insurance policies, are different from either. They amount to contracts between an investor and an insurer. The investor who buys in receives periodic payments.

1.88

1.90 The value of the account will fluctuate. There’s no guaranteed return on investment, and there’s a risk of losing money. Investors who are considering a variable annuity should find out how long their money will be tied up, whether there’s a penalty for early withdrawal and whether the broker receives a commission. Brokers sometimes nudge clients toward variable annuities that pay the brokers rich commissions without revealing the potential conflict of interest. That’s at the heart of an Obama administration push to tighten restrictions on brokers who manage retirement accounts.

Retail sales monitor

Eye on consumers

A gauge of U.S. retail chain sales at comparable stores, typically locations open at least a year, is due out today. The International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs Retail Chain Store Index has been mixed in recent weeks, rising two out of the first three weeks of December. The index tracks sales at retailers, but excludes sales related to restaurants or vehicle purchases.

Economists anticipate that a key measure of consumer confidence improved this month. The Conference Board’s December consumer confidence index, due out today, is expected to show a reading of 93. That would represent a rebound from November, when the index fell to 90.4, its lowest level since September 2014. A reading of 90 or better reflects a healthy economy.

Family needs to stick together, not create rifts out and maybe Dear Annie: I am one Annie’s her even find it in your of six sisters. We are all heart to forgive her. adults with children of It’s so much better our own. One lives in Mailbox than holding onto New Jersey and the others live in Florida, three of us in the same city. My sister, “Claire,” lives two hours away. Three years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. With good doctors and care, she has successfully come through five surgeries and battled the rounds of chemo. So far, she remains cancer-free. Four of us did whatever we could to help Claire during this time. Two of my sisters worked remotely so they could help with her medical appointments. Even my sister in New Jersey offered to stay with Claire. Only one sister, “Pam,” never helped, and in fact, never even acknowledged the cancer or wished Claire a speedy recovery. The problem now is that four of us are empty nesters and we vacation together once or twice a year. We have been doing this for more than a decade. But family isn’t only for the good times. If a person cannot care about her sister when she is ill, then I don’t think she should be included when we go on vacations. We always stay in timeshares, which I own. I don’t invite Pam on these vacations, but another

your anger.

sister does. I can’t uninvite her without creating a rift. Annie, I don’t want to vacation with Pam, but feel the choice is out of my control. I would appreciate advice from a disinterested party. — Sibling Dilemma Dear Sibling: Are you sure you want to do this? The consequences could turn out to be more distressing than worthwhile. An estrangement hurts you, too, and, as you said, will create a rift between all of the siblings. We know Pam deserves your condemnation for acting so uncaring toward her own sister, but have you asked her about it? Did you say, “Pam, I am so disappointed and angry that you cared so little about Claire that you couldn’t even wish her well”? She needs to know how upset you are and why. She may have some explanation for her callous behavior, and even though it will hardly be good enough, we hope you will hear

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Snowbird Driver,” whose friends refuse to let her drive when they are going out for dinner. The one thing that was not mentioned was alcohol. We have many friends who gather together for cocktails before leaving for dinner at a restaurant. With a cocktail or two before, and several drinks at the restaurant, they may well be driving under the influence by the time they are on their way home. I live in Florida and see this situation often. If the neighbors do not drink themselves, they might feel terribly uncomfortable driving with anyone who has had a few. I agree with your answer about treating them with a gift card or dinner out in order to reciprocate. However, the real reason for their reluctance to share driving responsibilities might be too many cocktails imbibed by the driver. — Sarasota. Dear Sarasota: You could very well be right. Thanks for mentioning the possibility.

Mom worries that kids get attention only for their looks D E A R ABBY: All children are beautiful to their parents. My three children are of mixed Abigail race and get Van Buren a lot of attention beDear Abby cause of it. The boys are aloof about random compliments they receive from strangers. However, I’m worried about the pressure it may put on my daughter to be “pretty.” I care more about my daughter’s character than her looks, but I’m concerned that if I say that to these people, it will come off as rude. Also, I don’t want her to think I don’t think she’s pretty. How can I respond in a way that isn’t rude to wellintentioned strangers, but at the same time allows me to make a statement about the importance of character over beauty? -- MOM OF BEAUTIES DEAR MOM: When someone exclaims that your child is beautiful, accept the compliment and say something like this: “Yes, my child IS beautiful, but more important, she is beautiful on

the inside.” It will reinforce the message to your daughter that character is equally, if not more important, than physical beauty. DEAR ABBY: Isn’t the rule of etiquette that when a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient? My mother sends gifts to our infant daughter. She is the first grandbaby, and my mother is a doting grandparent. My question is what should happen when my child outgrows the items -- clothing, shoes, toys, etc. My mother expects me to put them all in a storage bin and return them to her. There have been times when I have packed up things to give to friends who have younger daughters than ours, or taken them to a resale shop. My mother then becomes upset that I’m not returning the items to her. She is saving them for my sister, who isn’t even pregnant yet. While I have no issue with saving some things for a potential niece, my friends need these things NOW, and I feel strange essentially being obligated to return them. Is my mom out of line? It’s off-putting to receive a gift that comes with a return clause. -- CONFUSED IN CENTRAL TEXAS

DEAR CONFUSED: It appears your mother is not only a doting grandma, but also someone who is determined to get a double bang for her buck. Once given, a gift DOES belong to the recipient. Otherwise, it’s not a gift but a loan. And yes, however well-intentioned your mother may be, she is out of line to demand that everything she has given be returned to her. (I mean, what will she do if your sister has only boys?) DEAR ABBY: When I’m dining out, sometimes the flatware is wrapped and banded in a large paper napkin. Do I use this napkin for cleaning myself, or do I ask for more napkins? -UNSURE IN CONNECTICUT DEAR UNSURE: Place the napkin in your lap, and if you would like to have more, do not hesitate to ask your server. It is not a breach of etiquette to do so. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Having trouble letting go of old baggage? Don’t force it. One of the best ways to rid yourself of the heaviness is to seek new, lighter luggage. Get out there and make a replacement memory for the one you’d rather forget. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Tired people and hungry people are often grumpy people. Whatever you can do to make sure the basics are covered for you and yours will go a long way toward keeping the vibes positive at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sooner or later, we all have to part with our money. You may as well have fun with this. So what if you’re overly generous, silly or comfort-focused today? Get what you really, really want. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When the work (or the entire relationship) seems draining, maybe it’s just because you haven’t found what’s in it for you yet. Figure it out. If you can’t find a payoff, consider

making a change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In your brain, you’re going headto-head with someone and you’re really in no mood to back down. Hey -- you’re a human being with an ego to match. To some extent, that’s healthy! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Considering all the time and energy you’ve expended working on a certain knotty problem, it should come as no surprise when you get a sudden craving for freedom and distraction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This is an excellent moment to discus the delicate issue at hand, though you should keep in mind that such discussions are best kept brief and possibly indirect. A pointed implication may get the message across. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your rating with one particular person doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. There is a whole host of people out there who like you, not to mention the ones who love you dearly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Avoid making sweeping generalizations about yourself. You’re made up of many parts. Focus on one aspect at a time. Highlight the thing you like, and work on the thing you don’t. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll have a deep conversation that doesn’t include any profound words or particularly interesting thoughts. In fact, the whole thing, if written down, would be categorized as small talk. But it’s not. Not at all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t put your self-care off for later, otherwise “later” will never come. Also, taking care of yourself should include more than the basics. Giving yourself mental stimulation and fun is part of it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you hit a dip in your mood, remember: Appreciating others is the quick route to self-esteem. You will always feel good about your kind and fair treatment of the people you meet on your path.

Manning accuser not at clinic in 2011 Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The founder of an Indianapolis medical facility said Monday that a former unpaid student intern who claimed Peyton Manning used a banned substance in 2011 didn’t even work at the clinic until two years later, long after the NFL star was undergoing treatment. Dr. Dale Guyer, who started The Guyer Institute, said the allegations against the Denver Broncos quarterback are untrue. Manning angrily denied using performance-enhancing substances shortly after the Al Jazeera report went public Saturday.

It was based on secret recordings of Charles Sly, who named other high-profile athletes and suggested Manning obtained human growth hormone via mail addressed to his wife, Ashley. Sly has since recanted the story and told Al Jazeera the statements attributed to him “are absolutely false and incorrect.” Guyer used similar language. “I have no reason to believe these allegations are based in fact or have any truth. In fact, I can say with absolute certainty they are not,” Guyer said. “I would emphasize that Mr. Sly was never an employee of the Guyer Institute and his brief, three-month intern-

ship occurred in 2013 during which time Peyton was not even being treated or present in the office. I think it is obvious that Mr. Sly has fabricated this whole thing for reasons I cannot fathom.” Guyer said Sly had no patient responsibilities and has had no affiliation with the clinic since his unpaid internship from February-May 2013. Manning was treated at the facility in 2011 following four neck surgeries. Al Jazeera’s report claims Manning received HGH from the Indianapolis anti-aging clinic in 2011 while he was still with the Colts. It said the drug, which was later banned by the NFL in

the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, was delivered to his wife so that the quarterback’s name was never attached to the shipments. Al Jazeera reporter Deborah Davies told MSNBC that she stands by her story and said Manning has not denied the allegation that he had HGH shipped to his wife. Manning said he sought holistic treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen and nutrient therapy at the Guyer Institute with the consent of the Colts training and medical staff. He called the report “complete trash, garbage” and other players identified in the Please see MANNING | 13

Yankees get Chapman from Reds Associated Press

NEW YORK — The New York Yankees have bolstered an already dominant bullpen, acquiring hard-throwing All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds for four minor leaguers. Chapman became available after the Reds’ deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers fell through during baseball’s winter meetings three weeks ago when it was learned Florida police investigated an accusation of domestic violence involving the Cuban left-hander. Major League Baseball is currently investigating and Chapman could face suspension under the league’s new domestic violence policy. The Reds, who have shed several veterans in the past six months, get right-handers Caleb Cotham and Rookie Davis and infielders Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda from New York in the deal announced Monday. Chapman gives the Yankees the top three relievers by strikeouts and strikeouts per nine innings in the majors. Andrew Miller had 36 saves in his first year with New York and Dellin Betances made his second straight AllStar team as the setup man.

Arians not planning to rest any stars vs. Seahawks BY JOSE M. ROMERO

Miami DB Artie Burns going pro Associated Press

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Artie Burns has a son to support, and also now is the caretaker for his two younger siblings after the unexpected death of his mother earlier this season. And with that, the Miami defensive back realized it was time to go pro. Burns is skipping what would have been his senior season with the Hurricanes and entering the NFL draft, a decision that was long expected and became final on Monday. He had a breakout year with six interceptions, the most recorded by any Miami player since Sean Taylor had 10 in 2003. “Due to my mom’s sudden passing and my father being incarcerated, I now have custody of my two younger brothers and my son to raise,” Burns said in a statement distributed through the school. “It is my responsibility to be the financial supporter my family needs to continue our day to day lives.” Burns said the decision was “extremely difficult” to make. He thanked former Miami coach Al Golden in his statement, along with new Miami coach Mark Richt, the university community, the Hurricanes’ coaching staff, his teammates and fans. Burns also said he plans to return to Miami to finish his degree. Miami has a longstanding policy of allowing people who were on athletic scholarships and elect to leave early for professional reasons return and complete their studies. “I can’t put into words what these past three years have meant to me in my development as a football player, but even more importantly as a man,” Burns said. “It is only right to acknowledge that fact and I thank you all.”

TEMPE, Ariz. — For head coach Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals, Week 17 might as well be Week 1. In other words, Arians doesn’t plan to rest any top players for Sunday’s regularseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks at home. The Cardinals have already clinched the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and a first-

round bye. But the top seed is still at stake. If the Carolina Panthers lose Sunday to Tampa Bay, the Cardinals, by virtue of a better conference record, can secure the No. 1 spot and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, as long as they beat Seattle. Arizona (13-2) has won nine straight games and has already clinched the NFC West title with the most wins

in a season in franchise history. Now the Cardinals want to play hard to the finish. “I don’t think you get anything out of resting guys, especially playing a team that’s in our division and we haven’t beaten them at home in a couple of years,” Arians said Monday. “We don’t want to start a precedent now.” Defensive tackle Calais Campbell said everything is “flowing right now” for the

Cardinals. “Got a lot of momentum going our way, and every time you go out there and you’re playing good football like we are, you want to keep it going,” Campbell said. “And it’s a division game. Seattle’s definitely a rivalry game, a game that we look forward to playing each and every year. I definitely circled that game Please see ARIANS | 13

Steelers try to regroup after misstep with Baltimore BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The short flight home from Baltimore was quiet, typical for whenever the Pittsburgh Steelers lose. Yet there was an undercurrent of dismay running through the cabin on Sunday evening after a baffling misstep against the depleted Ravens that linebacker Ryan

Shazier couldn’t help but notice. “It felt different,” Shazier said on Monday. “I don’t know to other guys, but to me it almost felt like a bad dream or a scary movie. You just don’t expect that to happen but it did.” And suddenly a team that looked as dangerous as any in the NFL now finds itself with its nose pressed against

the glass on the outside of the playoff picture looking in with a week to go. The Steelers (9-6) need to beat Cleveland next Sunday and hope the Buffalo Bills upset the New York Jets (10-5) for Pittsburgh to sneak into the postseason as a wild card. Three dysfunctional hours in Baltimore — and a little help by a curious coaching decision by New England’s Bill

Belichick that helped the Jets upset the Patriots in overtime to move into the sixth seed — took whatever momentum the Steelers had gathered during a 10-game December winning streak and tossed it away like an unwanted Christmas gift. “We got our butts kicked,” running back DeAngelo WilPlease see STEELERS | 13

Coaching connection adds intrigue to Russell Bowl matchup BY KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Things may be supersized in Texas, but for North Carolina’s Larry Fedora and Baylor’s Art Briles, it also was once a very small world. The coaches will be adversaries when they meet in Tuesday’s Russell Athletic Bowl, but back in the early 1990s they were just two upand-coming coaches.

It was 1993 and Briles was in the middle of building a Texas prep power at Stephenville High School. Fedora was a young assistant in his fourth season at Baylor looking to recruit Briles’ highly touted quarterback. More than 20 years later both coaches will face off seeking a victory that each believes would serve as huge marker in the evolution of their current programs.

“He’s worked hard to get to where he’s at and he’s done a great job at what he’s been. That, to me, is been the most impressive thing,” Briles said of Fedora. “He’s been an asset everywhere he’s been...He’s been given a chance. He’s earned a chance. He’s taken advantage of it and made it work.” Briles is just hoping that success won’t include beating his Bears.

For 18th-ranked Baylor (93) a win Tuesday would be its first bowl victory since 2012, after a one-point loss to Michigan State in last season’s Cotton Bowl and a 10-point loss to UCF in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl. The 10th-ranked Tar Heels (11-2) came up short in their bid to upset Clemson in the ACC title game, but have a Please see MATCHUP | 13

report, including Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers of the Green Bay Packers, also denied any wrongdoing. “Every medication I have is prescribed by our team physician,” Matthews said Sunday. “There’s no merit to anything he said, it’s almost laughable. Those allegations are not true.” Added Peppers: “It’s completely erroneous and I think it’s irresponsible journalism, in my opinion.” Another player named in the report, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, said he has looked into legal action only to be told it

wouldn’t be worth the cost. The 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, who has five sacks this season, isn’t going to issue a denial like Manning. “There’s no need to because I know what I’ve done,” Harrison said, later adding “it’s not even a conversation to me.” Manning joined the Broncos in 2012 and had a record-setting run, going 47-15 until he tore the plantar fascia in his left foot on Nov. 15. That was the same day he broke Brett Favre’s NFL record for most career passing yards. The NFL’s only fivetime MVP has been sidelined ever since.

on the calendar.” The Cardinals haven’t beaten the Seahawks at home since the 2012 season. Seattle has won the past two division championships and gone on to the Super Bowl both times. Arians said players approached him after Sunday’s 38-8 win over the Green Bay Packers and made it clear how they want to approach this week’s game. He wasn’t surprised by what he was told. “They said, ‘Look, we want to win this.’ I said, ‘Of course we do,’” Arians said. “They all feel the same way.” Arizona leads the NFL in total offense and is fifth in total defense. The Cardinals are the only team in the league to have more touchdowns (57) than punts

(55) this season, and the plan is to continue to attack. “I’m never going to line up to lose,” Arians said. Campbell said the Cardinals realize they could face the Seahawks in the postseason, so an Arizona win could hurt the Seahawks’ confidence should they meet again later in January. With the Panthers-Buccaneers game going on at the same time as the Cardinals-Seahawks tilt, Campbell will try to avoid scoreboard watching. “Hopefully, the scoreboard guys do a good job and they show it to us only when it matters,” Campbell said. “If Tampa Bay is doing a good job for us, go ahead and show me. But if not, then I don’t want to see it.”

liams said. And now a resume that features wins over Arizona, Cincinnati and Denver also includes a pair of losses to the barely recognizable Ravens. Yes, that really was Ryan Mallett, Javorius Allen and Kyle Juszczyk pushing Pittsburgh to the brink of elimination. “Right now, we shot ourselves in the foot,” linebacker James Harrison said. “We’ve got to go out there and (win Sunday) and hope we get help.” Something that hasn’t really worked out when Pittsburgh is forced to scoreboard watch in Week 17. The Steelers went 4-1 down the stretch in 2000, but couldn’t make it as Indianapolis grabbed the last wild-card spot when Minnesota — already assured of a division title — rested its starters for much of the game and the Colts rolled in the regular-season finale. There’s plenty of blame

to go around, from a typically aggressive fourthdown call in the first quarter on Sunday that ended with Williams getting stopped to a pair of interceptions by Ben Roethlisberger that the Ravens turned into 10 points. While Williams is quick to point out facing a division opponent for the second time is never easy regardless of who is in uniform, that doesn’t appear to be a problem when Pittsburgh faces the Browns. The Steelers can only hope to extend their mastery over Cleveland — Pittsburgh is 28-6 against the Browns since the franchise returned in 1999 — and hope for good news from Buffalo on the scoreboard. “The scoreboard is going to be in the stadium so I think everybody is going to be looking at the scoreboard towards the end of the game,” Shazier said, “but we’ve got to handle our business first.”

chance to become the first North Carolina team to post a 12-win season. Though Briles has been credited in recent years with the offensive innovations he’s brought to the bears, Fedora remembers first being awe-struck with what he was doing at Stephenville. “That was my (recruiting) area, so I started spending a lot of time in Stephenville getting to know Art and what they were doing and watching how they practiced and all things they did,” Fedora said. “And it was really impressive back then because now you’re talking that was early 90s.”

Briles has said previously that earning respectability for a program could be as much as a 10-year process. After “hanging on” in his first three seasons following his arrival in Waco in 2008, he said progress is being made. “I don’t want respect for winning the Heisman in 2011.” “I don’t want respect for winning conference championship ‘13 and ‘14. I want this team to have respect,” Briles said. “I want those guys in the locker room to earn respect for themselves and for what they’ve done.” “So this is all about renewed respect for our football team.”

Reynolds leads Navy over Pitt in Military Bowl BY DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — How appropriate that Keenan Reynolds’ final touchdown at Navy thrust him into the NCAA record book and secured a milestone victory for the Midshipmen. Reynolds wrapped up his recordsetting college career in spectacular fashion, running for three scores and throwing for another Monday to lead Navy past Pittsburgh 44-28 in the Military Bowl. After the Midshipmen let a 24-point cushion dwindle to 38-28, Reynolds capped a nine-play drive with a 9-yard touchdown run with 4:19 remaining. It was his 88th

career TD, breaking a tie with Kenneth Dixon of Louisiana Tech for most in Football Bowl Subdivision history. It was classic Reynolds, given that he broke a slew of records and won a whole lot of games during his four-year run at the Naval Academy. “To be able to seal the game and get the record at the same time is pretty cool,” the 5-foot-11 senior said. Reynolds ran for 144 yards on 24 carries, completed 9 of 17 passes for 126 yards and had a reception for 47 yards on a trick play. He leaves Navy (112) as the FBS career leader in touchdowns and points (530). His 4,559 yards rushing are the most by a

quarterback in Division I history. With Reynolds leading the way, the Midshipmen completed their first 11win season in 135 years of football. That, more than all his personal accomplishments, is what he will remember. “You play the game to win, so the record for wins is the one that means the most to me,” Reynolds said. It was the first game for the Midshipmen since they beat Army and coach Ken Niumatalolo decided to stay at Navy instead of taking the head coaching job at Brigham Young. Niumatalolo was glad he stuck around for Reynolds’ finale. “All of Keenan’s accolades are well

deserved,” the coach said. “What an unbelievable career he’s had. Once in a generation, some of the things he’s done. We’re going to miss him.” Qadree Ollison rushed for 73 yards and scored two touchdowns for Pitt. Nate Peterman threw a TD pass but was intercepted three times. It all added up to a disappointing ending for the Panthers (8-5) in their first season under coach Pat Narduzzi. “Just have to keep getting one step closer,” Narduzzi said. “You just have to take one step at a time. Told the seniors, they laid the foundation. We’ve done a lot of great things this year.”
