Local man loves collecting cabooses Basket Fund goes to $14,245

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth is the perfect place for a train collector to live.

Just ask Don Essary.

The U.S. Air Force veteran has been collecting model trains in the Crossroads area since 1972.

“I used to collect all model trains, but I’ve recently settled on just cabooses,” said Essary as he looked over his vast collection of the rarely seen railcar used at the end of a freight train.

“Cabooses don’t exist anymore.

We never see one actually being used these days, so I like to collect them mostly because they are obsolete.”

Essary’s collection includes more than 260 model cabooses – mostly 1:87:1 HO scale – displayed on the walls of a spare bedroom inside the West Corinth home he shares with his wife, Charlotte.

Essary’s cabooses range from the familiar Santa Fe and

Bringing luck into 2017, American Legion Post 6 is starting the New Year off right by observing a time-honored custom.

The post will serve a traditional southern “Hoppin’ John” luncheon from 11 a.m. until the food runs out on New Year’s Day. “We had a huge response last year,” said Post Commander Tommy Watson. “We had planned for about 50 people and sold out completely within an hour and a half.”

The event was so popular that organizers have decided to do the meal again this year, but on a larger scale.

“We are getting bigger pots and more stuff,” said Watson with a laugh. “One of our guys has also decided that he wants to set up and do some side items like turnip greens.”

Consisting of fried hog jowl, black-eyed peas, boiled cabbage and cornbread, plates for the 2nd Annual New Year’s Day Luncheon will be available for

Having caught the acting bug at an early age, Corinth native Riley Floyd has been in theater for 95 percent of his life. The 19-year-old has performed both at Tishomingo County High School, where he graduated in 2016, and at the Crossroads Playhouse.

Audiences will remember him from his most recent roles as Roger in “Grease,” an extra in “Footloose” and Sketch in “Hairspray.” “I thank God for everything He’s done for me,” said Floyd.

“He has really blessed me this past year.” A freshman at Northeast Mississippi Community College, Riley is the son of Mike and Rhonda Floyd of Corinth and the brother of Bellah Rose, 8. He serves as the manager for the NEMCC Tigers basketball team and on the college’s TV crew, where he tries to broadcast each sport as much as possible.

The food will be prepared by Post and Auxiliary members like Bobby McDaniel and Carlean Parker.

“I will probably be doing some of the preparing as well,” said Watson. “My wife will likely be making some dessert such as her famous banana pudding.”

Research center: Much to celebrate during 2016 STARKVILLE — In addition to marking its 35th anniversary of highly specialized service, a major research center at Mississippi State is concluding the calendar year with several new professional accolades.

The university’s National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision was recognized this month with a state award from the Alabama Governor’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities.

The MSU center earlier was honored by the orga-

nization’s Mobile Chapter.

The neighboring-state honor was the Collaboration Award given for a partnership between the center, the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services, Mobile Works Inc. and Goodwill Easter Seals of the Gulf Coast. The award was for a June program the MSU center organized to provide job search training for blind and visually impaired youth.

The coast training program was made possible through a competitive grant awarded by the Na-

tional Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Center director Michele McDonnall said the primary goal of the Alabama governor’s committee “aligns with our mission to enhance employment outcomes for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

“We are honored to receive this award and look forward to continuing this strong partnership,” she added.

Separately, several center staff members specifically were cited for personal achievements by the Mississippi Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired.

At the Mississippi recognition program held in Jackson: ■ Kendra Farrow, the center’s research and training associate, received MAEER’s Kathryn Stroble Blind Career Achievement Award as a legally blind individual “who has successfully prepared for and received

recognition for accomplishments in a professional career”; ■ BJ LeJeune, training supervisor, received the Sam Johnson Award presented to an individual who has been “particularly helpful and supportive of the association and members of its leadership committee”; and ■ Director McDonnall received the Employment Opportunity Development Award for “significant contributions in assisting blind persons to achieve their rightful place in the working

world and in society.”

A part of Mississippi State’s College of Education since 1981, the NRTC is the only federally funded center focusing on employment outcomes of persons with blindness or low vision. Over the decades at the university, the center has been awarded more than $31 million to support research, training, technical assistance and dissemination activities for its client population.

ready have the lettering bought, but I just need the car.”

Big fans of Essary’s collection are his and Charlotte’s four grandchildren.

Their sons, Brad and Clay, also loved checking out their dad’s collection while growing up.

Outside the Essarys’ spare bedroom shrine to the caboose is a much smaller, more special collection in the family’s living room.

It’s a custom made tribute to the Essary family displayed on a full train set.

“These cars I had made

by Bill (Gunner),” said Essary. “They have my last name and my wife’s maiden name painted on the side of each car. The cars are also numbered with our birthdays and the birthdays of each one of my wife’s siblings and our two sons. The engine and caboose reflect the year we meet, our wedding date and anniversary date.

“These may actually be my favorite,” he added.

As a prideful smile grew across the veteran’s face, he said “This is my hobby and I love it.”

Some of the cabooses appear to be identical, expect for the railcar number adorning the side panels.

A favorite among his collection are his bobbers.

“Bobbers are railroad cars with only four wheels instead of the standard eight,” said Essary, a employee of Dirt Cheap in Corinth. “They were used in the 1800s – I actually used them quite a bit with the last layout I had of an Old West town.”

Essary credits his old friend Bill Gunner for getting the collector interested in model trains.

“A friend took me to Bill’s house one day ... he had a huge model train layout setup. I was pretty much hooked,” said Essary. “Bill and another friend, Gus Jones, were my mentors in model railroads.”

“I find model train lots on eBay with a caboose that I don’t have,” he said.

“I buy the lot, keep the caboose and sell the rest.

It’s a process my wife ap-

proves of ... as long as I stay out of our family savings.”

Several custom models can also be found in his massive collection, including a few customized Corinth-Counce railroad cabooses.

“I like this one,” he said, showing off a flat black

painted caboose. “It’s one from Europe that someone put a German gun on to make it look like a combat train from World War II.” As a veteran, Essary said he likes military cabooses the most and often searches the Internet for one not currently in his collection.

The hobbyist also has

a few engine models he’s proud of.

“I have a Dewitt Clinton model,” he said. “That’s the oldest train in America.”

From his love of collecting grew a love for researching.

“I like to know what I have in my collection,” he said. “How and where a certain type of caboose was used. I take a lot of pictures, too, of trains and cabooses.”

Essary is also on a mission to recreate a model of the bright red Gulf, Mobile & Ohio caboose like the actual caboose on display at the Historic Corinth Depot.

“I’m hunting for one every day,” he said. “I al-

WHO IS JESUS AND WHAT DID HE DO? #5 In speaking of what Jesus has done for us, the Apostle John said: “And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever.” (Revelation 1:6, King James Version) The New American Standard Version translates the first part of the verse in this way: “and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father… ” Shortly after the children of Israel left Egypt and came to Sinai, the Lord instructed Moses to tell them: “And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”(Exodus 19:6) He then gave them commands and instructions that would govern them as the nation through whom Messiah would come. Specific instructions are given to the priests and Levites regarding the manner in which they carried out their service in the tabernacle, and later, in the temple. Their function was to mediate between God and the people of Israel “Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect.”(Hebrews 9:9) The writer goes on to show the supremacy of what Jesus did, and how all mankind may benefit: “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”(Hebrews 9:12) The relationship between God and Israel served as a type or figure of what would come to fulfillment in Jesus, enabled by the sacrifice of Himself, to the glory of God. Peter said, ”Ye also as lively (living) stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.”(I Peter 2:5) Peter continues to tell of the special blessings and responsibilities given to those who have been “loosed” from their sins by the blood of Jesus: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: Which in time past were not a people, but now are the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”

guests.

“The response from the community has been amazing and overwhelming,” said Charity Ball Chair Marley Ashe. “We have completely sold out, and due to the building’s fire codes, cannot safely accommodate more attendees.”

With somewhere around 400 people having already R.S.V.P.’d for the fund-raising event, the 2017 Charity Ball is shaping up to be one of, if not the biggest in Junior Auxiliary of Corinth history.

“People have really embraced the ‘In the City’ theme this year as well as the date change to New Year’s Eve,” said Ashe. “We are so thankful for the support we’ve received and feel that too much response is a great problem to have. We only wish we had enough room to accept everyone.”

Complete live music, delectable eats and a complimentary champagne toast at midnight, J.A.’s biggest fundraising event of the year may be one for the books.

TUPELO – North Mississippi Medical Center-Tupelo filed a lawsuit against United Healthcare on Tuesday as part of the ongoing dispute over payments.

According to the Daily Journal, the lawsuit, which was entered in Lee County Circuit Court, does not affect the interim arrangement between United Healthcare and North Mississippi Health Services, according to a statement released Tuesday afternoon by the hospital.

Although North Mississippi Health Services moved to terminate its provider network agreement with United Healthcare, the insurer has pledged to pay for services at in-network rates, and NMMC-Tupelo has agreed not to bill patients for differences above contracted rates through May 2017.

The hospital statement said the lawsuit is one of several actions being taken to settle the dispute.

The lawsuit was still being processed on Tuesday afternoon, and a copy of the filing was not available.

Savannah Department named officer of the year SAVANNAH, Tenn. – The Savannah Police Department recently recognized one of its own as 2016 Officer of the Year.

According to WBBJ-TV, Captain Terry Hosea won the award this year and serves as the patrol division commander in Savannah.

Captain Hosea served as the interim chief of police for

Hosea was nominated by his peers and was selected unanimously by supervisory personnel.

Columbus Construction plays Grinch to city’s tree bonfire COLUMBUS — Lowndes County residents won’t be capping off the season with a Yuletide bonfire of Christmas trees.

That’s because city officials have concluded there’s no safe place to burn them because of construction.

The bonfire began in 2015 as a way to dispose of Christmas trees instead of burying them in a landfill. City spokesman Joe Dillon tells the Commercial Dispatch that the site of the previous bonfire is now where seats for an amphitheater are being built. He says the city had concerns about people in a construction zone, plus burning trees during a drought.

The Columbus-Lowndes Convention and Visitors Bureau would serve hot chocolate while Columbus firefighters torched the dead evergreens.

The bureau’s director says she hopes the city can find a new location in 2018.

According to the Daily Journal, the band learned last week it was selected to represent the state at the inauguration and quickly began raising funds.

Band boosters estimated it would take between $75,000 and $100,000 to cover expenses, including transportation and lodging, for the trip.

The band is expected to leave on Wednesday, Jan. 18.

The inauguration is on Jan. 20, and the band would return the next day. At least a two-night stay would be needed, and the expense for that many people adds up, even if they pack six in a room.

Corinth, Miss.

Dressing a window FISHTRAP HOLLOW — On a fall trip to Paris a million years ago, I was strolling down the Rue du Bac, trying to look nonchalant, as if I were back home going for milk at the Piggly Wiggly. I Rheta was searching for one of my Johnson favorite places, Deyrolle, a taxidermy shop that’s been in Columnist business since 1831.

At Deyrolle, bears lie down with lambs, and everything is for sale, antelopes to zebras. If you have plenty of change in your pocket, you can take home a resin elephant that would fool your guests.

I almost walked right past -- the building from the outside is not particularly distinguished, not in a city with so much iconic architecture that you can’t swing a Lonely Planet without hitting one -- when out of the corner of my eye I glimpsed an old school desk with a map and a stuffed badger and duckling on top, a whimsical window display for the fall season. Deyrolle.

The French do the best window decorations in the world, at least the part of the world I’ve seen. They make it look easy, telling short stories in time with the season in shop windows. That’s an art.

I’ve always thought that if I had another talent besides stringing together words, it might be dressing windows. My thoughts were baseless, but I fantasized about it.

So maybe that’s why I recently spent my small family inheritance on an old building, presumably to rent out and supplement my Social Security. I don’t understand the stock market and don’t want to.

But the more I looked at the two front display windows, the more I yearned to try to dress them. That led to acting out yet another fantasy: starting a small gallery, a place where people could see art -- and maybe occasionally a foreign film.

I think when times are hard, most of us need such an oasis. We don’t have the Memphis museums or the Atlanta theaters or the New Orleans music scene. Whenever two or more gather here, it’s usually for a football game. That does not mean we do not have artistic yearnings.

So Faraway Places, gallery and shop, was born. I put brown paper in the two big panes facing the street to keep my inaugural window-dressing efforts under wraps. I wasn’t sure just what might happen.

Using things I already had, one window slowly became a painter’s atelier. I wanted it to look as if the artist had just left his studio, leaving an unsigned work on the easel, brushes and paints scattered about, blank canvases to the wall. Van Gogh gone out for a smoke.

I suspended empty frames from the ceiling, which later would cause confusion. Some thought I’d opened a framing business.

The second window was my pride, my first Christmas window ever, perhaps my last. The faraway place I love the most is France, and I wanted my inspiration front and center.

The white Christmas tree probably was made in another faraway place -- China -- but I decorated it with Eiffel Towers and French flags. Next to it, a bright-green bistro table sat, ready for lovers to inhabit, a lit Eiffel Tower swinging perilously close to two wine glasses. I hung a red beret on one chair.

Only trouble is, Christmas is over now, and the window needs dressing again. It’s like climbing a glass hill, window-dressing.

Would that I had a stable of stuffed animals to work with, a humble badger or two to create interest.

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 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.

—Ezekiel 34:12

Sheriff McMillin was tough but big-hearted STARKVILLE — When I learned of the death of former Hinds County Sheriff Malcolm McMillin – a tough, old school lawman whose friendship I came to appreciate during my years covering crime in central Mississippi – my initial thoughts went back to a day spent riding some of the most crime-ridden areas of the city of Jackson.

Many will remember that McMillin also served for a brief time as chief of police in Jackson while simultaneously serving as county sheriff. That fact unnerved and angered McMillin’s political opponents.

McMillin taught me early on during my Clarion-Ledger days that I would be pretty safe at night walking from the State Capitol back to the C-L offices down on Pearl Street. “That’s because at night, there’s no one on the streets in that area other than the homeless, the mentally ill, chronic alcoholics.””

But McMillian said dangerous areas weren’t hard to find and that race didn’t have as much to do with

those crimeridden locales as most people thought.

Despite his frustration Sid Salter with both city and Columnist county government in Jackson and Hinds County, “Mac” loved the place and most of the people.

I also knew Mac through charity work in the Jackson area. We did several Diabetes Walk events together.

We’d get about a quartermile into the walk and he’s look around and say: “Are we walking past any place that serves candy bars or ice cream?”

Burly, brawny, and not averse to violence when required, Malcolm McMillin could be a hard-nosed, formidable one-man wrecking crew. He also possessed a tender heart for children, the aged, the sick, the poor, and those who could not defend themselves.

During his five terms as Hinds County’s top law en-

forcement office, McMillin battled the Hinds County Board of Supervisors over budget disagreements, jail overcrowding and jail funding. McMillin grew up in Natchez, but spent his summer on a truck farm with his uncle and aunt on Turkey Creek near Dentsville.

In 2012, after being unseated in a re-election bid, he was Gov. Phil Bryant’s choice of as the new chairman of the State Parole Board. McMillin’s true gift as head of the Parole Board was his up close and personal understanding of the relationship between the state’s judicial system, corrections system, and the parole process as it relates to impacts on local jails.

In 2003, McMillin offered this assessment: “It’s difficult to determine beyond the short-term needs essentially what our jail space needs are, because in the years I have been in office, we’ve never had a criminal justice system that worked.

We’ve been plagued with overcrowding caused by the state housing its inmates in

county jails throughout the state. Now we are dealing with overcrowding as a result of the increasing numbers of pre-trial detainees who have yet to be indicted, tried, sentenced, and moved into the state system.”

Finding the formula between maintaining a “tough on crime” posture while managing the finite amount of jail space in Mississippi has been almost a constant problem.

Again, in his own words, McMillin can also see parole decision from the perspective of law enforcement: “I answered a domestic disturbance call one night. I knocked on the door and stepped to the side as I’d been trained to do and someone in the house fired a shotgun through the door.

I have fired my weapon and been fired upon. Given the option, I would rather not do either again,” McMillin said.

Does Europe’s future lie with Merkel or Le Pen? The terrorist who hijacked a truck in Berlin and ran over and killed 12 people, maiming and wounding 48 more, in that massacre in the Christmas market, has done more damage than he could imagine.

If the perpetrator is the jihadist from Tunisia who had no right to be in Germany, and had been under surveillance, the bell could begin to toll not only for Angela Merkel but for the European Union.

That German lassitude, and the naivete behind it, allowed this outrage validates the grim verdict of geostrategist James Burnham in “Suicide of the West”: “Liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide.”

Both the transnational elite and populist right sense the stakes involved. As news of the barbarous atrocity spread across Europe, the reactions were instantaneous and predictable.

Marine Le Pen of France’s National Front, leading candidate for the presidency in 2017, declaimed: “How many more people must die at the hands of Islamic extremists before our governments close our porous borders and stop taking in thousands of illegal immigrants?”

Geert Wilders, the Party for Freedom front-runner for prime minister of Holland, echoed Le Pen: “They

hate and kill us. And nobody protects us. Our leaders betray us. We need a poPat litical revoBuchanan lution.

“Islamic Columnist immigration/Is an invasion,” he went on, “An existential problem/That will replace our people/ Erase our culture.”

“These are Merkel’s dead,” tweeted Marcus Pretzell of the far-right Alternative for Germany about the victims in the Christmas mart.

Nicholas Farage, who led the campaign for British secession from the EU, called the Christmas massacre “the Merkel legacy.”

Europe’s populist right is laying this act of Islamist savagery at the feet of Merkel for her having opened Germany in 2015 to a million migrants and refugees from Syria and the Middle East wars.

Before Berlin, she was already on the defensive after mobs of migrants went about molesting and raping German girls in Cologne last New Year’s Eve. Even admirers who share her belief in a Europe of open borders, that welcomes immigrants and refugees from Third World

wars and despotisms, sense the gravity of Merkel’s crisis.

“Germans should not let the attack on a Christmas market in Berlin undermine liberal values,” ran the headline on The Washington Post editorial Dec. 22.

Alarmed, the Post went on: “What Germany cannot and must not do is ... succumb to the siren song of the anti-foreigner rightwing, which has been gaining strength across Europe and moved immediately to exploit the attack ahead of the September 2017 national elections.”

The New York Times delivered its customary castigation of the European populist right but, in a note of near-desperation, if not of despair, implored Europe’s liberals not to lose faith.

“With each new attack, whether on a Christmas market or a mosque, the challenge to Europe to defend tolerance, inclusion, equality and reason grows more daunting. If Europe is to survive as a beacon of democratic hope in a world rent by violent divisions, it must not cede those values.”

But less and less does Europe appear to be listening.

Indeed, as Europe has been picking up its dead and wounded for over a decade, from terrorist attacks in Madrid, London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels, the

peoples of Europe seem less interested in hearing recitals of liberal values than in learning what their governments are going to do to keep the Islamist killers out and make them safe.

Salus populi suprema lex.

Liberals may admonish us that all races, creeds, cultures are equal, that anyone from any continent, country or civilization can come to the West and assimilate.

That discrimination against one group of immigrants in favor of another is illiberal and undemocratic.

But people don’t believe that. Europe and America have moved beyond the verities of 20th-century liberalism. The cruel experiences of the recent past, and common sense, dictate that open borders are Eurail passes for Islamist terrorists, who are anxious to come and kill us in the West. We have to deal with the world as it is, not as we would wish it to be.

Right-wing and antiimmigrant parties are succeeding in Europe for a simple reason. Mainstream parties are failing in the first duty of government -- to protect the safety and security of the people.

Trump takes credit for 8,000 Roof won’t work to spare his life jobs from Japanese mogul

BY VIVIAN SALAMA AND JOSH BOAK Associated Press

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Donald Trump on Wednesday touted plans by a Japanese mogul to bring 8,000 jobs to the United States.

They could be the first of the 50,000 jobs tech billionaire Masayoshi Son promised to create after meeting with the president-elect earlier in December.

In the grand scheme of the economy, the jobs announcement is unlikely to have a major impact.

Still, it’s another example of how Trump is trying to stoke voters’ belief that he is actively fighting for their well-being.

The announcement came during a whirlwind day in which Trump ac-

cused President Barack Obama of throwing up “inflammatory” roadblocks during the transition of power and said his administration was treating Israel with “total disdain.”

Son is the founder and chief executive of SoftBank, one of Japan’s largest technology outfits. He owns the U.S. mobile carrier Sprint, which Trump said Wednesday would be moving 5,000 jobs “back” to the United States. Son also controls OneWeb, which Trump said would hire 3,000 workers.

It was unclear whether the president-elect was referencing the Dec. 6 commitment by Son to invest $50 billion in the United States and create 50,000 jobs.

Trump said the addition of 8,000 jobs was

“because of what’s happening and the spirit and the hope.”

Still, the U.S. job market has been robust for much of 2016. Employers have added more than 2.2 million jobs over the past 12 months — a sign of economic health that pre-dates Trump’s presidential victory.

Sprint has struggled since its 2013 acquisition

by SoftBank. The carrier shed roughly 9,000 workers between 2012 and 2016, reducing its staff to 30,000, according to annual reports.

Sprint’s attempt to join with rival T-Mobile failed in 2014 after regulators objected to combining two of the four largest mobile telecom companies in the United States.

Analysts say a Trump

administration would be more likely to approve telecom mergers, including a deal between Sprint and T-Mobile.

Sprint Chief Executive Marcelo Claure said in a statement that the company is “excited” to work with Trump.

“We believe it is critical for business and government to partner together to create more job opportunities in the U.S. and ensure prosperity for all Americans,” Claure said.

The Sprint jobs announcement came after tensions rose and fell Wednesday between Trump and Obama.

Trump has made it clear that it didn’t sit well with him when Obama recently boasted that he would have won the election if he’d been running.

Police video appears to show man walking away

BY DAVID WARREN Associated Press

DALLAS — A police dashcam video released five months after a Texas officer shot a black man appears to show the man walking away as the officer fired, and the man’s lawyer says he was not a threat.

David Collie was shot in the back, leaving him paralyzed, lawyer Nate Washington said Wednesday. Police said at the time of the July encounter that a Fort Worth officer fired twice, striking Collie “once in the lower torso.”

The officer and a Tarrant County sheriff’s deputy with him were offduty at the time and working a security detail at an apartment complex, Washington said.

Police were searching for two shirtless black men who they be-

lieved had committed a robbery near a gas station, Washington said. Authorities said in a news release they issued at the time that Collie pulled a box cutter from his pocket and pointed it at the officers.

Collie was charged with aggravated assault on a public servant but a grand jury declined to indict him.

Fort Worth police on Wednesday defended the actions of the officers, who they have not named.

Sgt. Marc Povero said in a statement that Collie failed to comply with commands to stop and that he appeared to point a silver object at the deputy, consistent with earlier reports by the robbery victim that a suspect flashed a silver handgun.

Washington said Collie was not involved in the robbery. A box cutter found nearby didn’t belong to Col-

lie, Washington said.

The shooting occurred late at night and darkness obscures Collie’s actions, but the video seems to show him pointing in another direction as he walks away and it is not clear if there is anything in his hand.

Povero said a department review of the incident had been completed but declined to discuss the outcome.

The officer who shot Washington has since returned to duty, he said.

Povero declined to comment on the race of the officer.

Samantha Jordan, a spokeswoman for the Tarrant County District Attorney’s office, said all policeinvolved shootings are submitted directly and without recommendation to the grand jury, where Collie’s case is currently pending.

in shooting case

BY JEFFREY COLLINS Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof says he won’t call any witnesses or present evidence while representing himself during the punishment phase of his death penalty trial, but he is working hard to keep secret potentially embarrassing evidence about himself and his family.

Just exactly what that evidence is remains a mystery. Roof, the judge and prosecutors carefully tiptoed around describing it during a hearing Wednesday.

The judge has indicated that it may be allowed during the penalty phase of the trial, which starts next week.

The same jurors who convicted Roof earlier this month of killing nine black church members in a racially motivated attack will hear from Roof as well as testimony from the families of victims. At the end of the penalty phase, the panel will decide whether Roof, who is white, should be put to death or spend the rest of his life in prison.

Roof was warned by U.S. Judge Richard Gergel that being his own lawyer was a bad idea.

“That’s your decision,” Gergel said. “I

think that highlights my advice to you that you aren’t served by being your own counsel.”

Gergel told Roof to talk to his grandfather, who is a lawyer, and other family members one last time. He told Roof he has until the start of the penalty phase Tuesday to change his mind and rehire his high-powered, publicly funded defense team.

Roof spoke for less than 10 minutes of the 35-minute hearing. He told Gergel he does plan an opening and closing statement. He also told the judge he objects to prosecutors’ plans to present a photograph of evidence in the court’s possession. Roof, Gergel and assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Richardson talked about it without saying what it is.

Gergel said there was a hearing in which he decided it could be admitted in the penalty phase.

Roof also wanted a jailhouse statement left out of the penalty phase and evidence that involved his mother. No specifics were given.

Gergel told Roof to go back to jail and write a motion for him to consider. Roof’s ankle chain clanked as he walked back to the defense table in his jail jumpsuit.

LEGION CONTINUED FROM 1

be able to serve as many as possible this year.

“We want to be able to feed everyone this time,” he said. “There were several who got there too late last year who said they would be sure to come early this time.”

“The luncheon is a good chance to sit down, eat together and visit with one another,” he continued.

“There is plenty of room in our Fellowship Hall

and we want people to enjoy themselves without feeling like the have to rush out for the next person in line.”

A treasured tradition, Watson says he started the practice of consuming the superstitious items on New Year’s Day after he got married.

“My wife Debbie’s family has always consumed these items for luck in the New Year, but it was something I never did growing up. We had other

traditions, but not that one,” he explained. “After we were married we picked up and carried on the tradition.”

The Watson’s decided last year to share the practice with the community.

After ingesting cabbage for prosperity, hog jowl for progress and peas for health, good fortune and romance, guests are asked to leave a small remnant of their meal – three peas for blessings in 2017.

“We hope everyone

will join us for lunch,” said Watson. “There is no need to call ahead and plates will be available to go for those who prefer.”

The money raised will help fund the Post’s community, children’s and veteran’s events.

Baby’s birth sparks interest in absentee father’s family Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: My twin sister and I were raised by a single mom.

Because Mom received welfare benefits, she was required to list “potential” fathers in order

to receive aid.

After a time, the state required paternity tests be given to the men she had listed, so we had no idea who our biological father was until we were 16.

Although paternity was proven, he never attempted to contact us.

I recently learned that he died several years ago at a relatively young age (mid-50s). I also discovered that he had at least two other children, one of whom I was able to locate on Facebook.

I don’t want to cause any undue distress by reaching out to them.

However, I’m curious about any historical information they could provide, particularly medical or hereditary issues I should know about.

All of a sudden I have this overwhelming need for information, especially now that I have

a child.

Should I try and contact my half-siblings, or let it go and hope there’s nothing there to find out? I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I feel I just have to know. -- NEEDS TO KNOW DEAR NEEDS TO KNOW: The revelation that you and your sister exist may come as a shock to your half-siblings, so be prepared. Ideally, the way to go about asking for the information you’re seeking would be through an intermediary such as a lawyer.

However, if you can’t afford one, then write a letter explaining who you are and that you are a parent and would like any information that can be provided about any genetic illnesses that run in your father’s side of the family, including his cause of death.

While you’re at it, be sure to mention that you are not trying to intrude -- only to find information that may be pertinent to you, your twin sister and your child.

DEAR ABBY: I have been separated from my ex-wife for a year and I’m still depressed. I can’t eat, I sleep only a couple of hours a night and since the split I have lost 40 pounds.

I’m in my late 20s. My wife and I were together since high school. We have two kids. We

separated because of her infidelity and immaturity. I was the one who decided to leave and I don’t regret my decision, but a part of me can’t move on.

I’m still nice to her and cater to her sometimes, but I want to stop. I feel she uses me because she knows I will always love her.

How do I break my bond with her? -- STILL NOT OVER HER IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR STILL NOT OVER HER: If your ex-wife is the only woman you have ever dated or been intimate with, it’s not surprising that this has been extremely hard for you.

Divorce can bring with it a roller coaster of emotions, some high and some low.

Because you can’t seem to break out of the lows, it might help you to go online and research divorce support groups for men and attend some meetings.

However, if you find you need more help than that to disengage -- and you may -- ask your doctor for a referral to a licensed mental health professional.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

In a way, you’re selling something -- an idea, product or your vision of the future. Your ideal “customer” will already be a little interested in what you’re presenting before you even get there.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The forefathers of the structures of society are often taken for granted by those too young or ignorant to understand the personal sacrifices made by those who have come before.

Contrastingly, you’re aware.

Point it out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Recipe for the day: Reach your hand out and say hello. It’s the start of something beautiful.

Next, mention what you want.

Keep moving until you find the one who can help you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Don’t assume that all are as moral as you. Guard your place in a deal. Get your name on record and everything down on paper. You can be a nice person and still stand up for your-

self.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a lot to give, but will they really appreciate it if they get it all at once? What about if you built a sense of scarcity around what you’re offering? Use human nature to your advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your energetic investments will pay off nicely. As for your financial ones, consider putting your energy there first. Money usually represents past energy expenditures, which can be a little too removed to fully feel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll influence others, but more importantly, you’ll comply with self-directions. To follow your own instructions is no small deal; in fact it’s the magic ticket and the key to getting what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Like a computer programmer, it’s on you to fix a bug in your life. Don’t procrastinate! Procrastination leads to guilt, which leads to more procrastination.

It’s exhausting. Now is the mo-

ment. Fix it. Go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re better today than you were yesterday. If you can continue to say this every day, the improvement you are wishing for will come together early next year.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Follow your opportunities, not your passion. Yes, the two will converge at some point -- not yet. Your opportunities will take you somewhere; your passion will leave you alone in a room.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you don’t exactly love the plan your friends are coming up with, make your own. You want to add to the good times, but you won’t be able to unless your heart is in it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You are used to seeing a certain person as very powerful.

You may be surprised by how vulnerable this person really is.

Lead with your natural empathy and you’ll get to the truth of the matter.

Friends clash after becoming roommates WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I live with four other people in a big old house outside Boston.

Two of the roommates are a couple, “Jeremy” and “Rachel.” Rachel is a very close friend of mine and has been for about 10 years, ever since we met in college. She and Jeremy live downstairs, while the other three of us live upstairs.

Jeremy and Rachel have been together for three years, and I liked Jeremy fine — until we moved in together. The past year has been a war.

He and I started butting heads pretty much immediately. He kept using my condiments and leaving my TV on. (I keep it in the living room downstairs.)

I had to tell him to stop several times before he finally did.

Well, things really came to a head yesterday. I was about a month late paying him my portion of the heating bill, and he texted me to ask for it. I told him I would have it to him when I get paid this week.

He said, “What about the money Rachel lent you last month?”

I lost my cool and told him it wasn’t his money or his business. He immediately wrote back, “Whoa, whoa, OK, Friday is fine.

Pay me back whenever.”

But it was too late for him to try to backtrack, and I let him have a piece of my mind. I told him to go to

Dear Annie hell or at the very least get out of our house. I may have used even more colorful language than that. I was just so floored by his rudeness.

Now Rachel says she’s angry with both of us for handling ourselves the way we did. She says she knows that Jeremy can be annoying, but she’s hurt that I would act so hatefully toward her boyfriend.

He’s trying to find a place to stay temporarily because I told him I don’t want him living here.

I am not apologizing. I am the one who has been wronged here. Right? — Mad in Massachusetts Dear Mad: No matter how bad you think Jeremy is, cursing him out just made you worse.

Let’s review Morality 101: Two wrongs don’t make a right; they just make a mess.

And your friend, by the way, is in the middle of that mess.

Apologize to Jeremy for the outburst, but let him know that you do have some valid concerns about living with him.

Find a way to tolerate each other, at least

until the lease is up.

There is enough drama in the world without friends tearing each other apart over condiments and heating bills.

Dear Annie: Usually, I agree with and appreciate your advice. I’m sure you have to edit a lot of the letters you receive and we don’t get all the information. This time, though, based on the information we got, I don’t understand your advice.

When a couple are having a heart-to-heart conversation about a problem in their marriage, why would you encourage them to be anything less than honest with each other?

You want “Mumma” to tell “Bill” to stop calling her names. It sounds to us as if he was honestly answering a yes-or-no question when she asked him whether the reason for his wandering eye is that she is fat.

She knew it. He acknowledged it. They got to the root of the problem.

Are you advocating that he lie to her?

Overall, good job. I enjoy your column. But sometimes you are too quick to side with your readers.

Economists predict that U.S. applications for unemployment benefits declined last week.

Applications, which are a proxy for layoffs, have been mixed of late, hovering below 300,000 for 94 straight weeks. That's the longest streak since 1970.

The Labor Department reports today its latest weekly tally of applications for unemployment aid.

GDP forecast looking up The United States is wrapping up a disappointing year for economic growth, but there are hopes 2017 will be better.

When the fourth quarter GDP figures are released on Jan. 27, they are expected to show the economy grew around 1.6 percent in 2016. That would be the weakest performance in five years.

Going forward, economists are looking for an improvement, although none are forecasting GDP growth as high as the 4 percent annual gains President-elect Donald Trump believes his policies will produce.

IHS Markit is pegging growth at 2.3 percent in 2017. The private forecasting firm also has two alternative scenarios. In its pessimistic forecast, the country goes into a two-quarter recession in the first half of 2018, triggered by Trump’s protectionist trade policies. The optimistic forecast shows Trump’s tax cuts and rollback in regulations producing stronger growth although still below Trump’s 4 percent goal.

Below is a look at the GDP’s recent performance and IHS forecasts for 2017-2021.

Mostly good Pessimistic scenarios in 2020 and 2021 are greater than optimistic forecasts due to events happening in previous years.

Crude oil cache

The government's November index of agriculture prices is due out today.

The index, issued by the Department of Agriculture, tracks the prices received by U.S. farmers for crops, livestock and other goods. The October reading was 80.8, a drop of 6.6 percent from the previous month. Producers received lower prices for cattle, broiler chickens, hogs and milk, but higher prices for corn, strawberries, wheat and sweet corn.

The nation’s crude oil stockpiles have been mostly declining in recent weeks.

They rose two weeks ago by 2.26 million barrels to 485.5 million barrels. A rise in crude oil stocks typically pulls down the price of oil. Did the trend continue last week? Find out today, when the Energy Department reports its latest tally of U.S. crude oil stockpiles.

Lost in the Arizona Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disappointing season is David Johnson turning in one of the best all-around seasons ever by a running back. With 100 yards from scrimmage in the season ďŹ nale against the Rams, Johnson would become the ďŹ rst back in NFL history to hit the mark in every game of a season. Johnson leads the NFL with 2,074 yards from scrimmage (1,233 rushing, 841 receiving) and 20 total touchdowns (16 rushing, four receiving).

He had 124 total yards in the ďŹ rst meeting with the Rams.

POWER RANKINGS

OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE The Miami Dolphins clinched a postseason berth with a 34â&#x20AC;&#x201C;31 overtime win in Buffalo and sealed Rex Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate as well. With rumors he would be ďŹ red already swirling and needing a win to stay alive in the playoff race, Ryan called for a punt on 4th-and-2 from the Billsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 41-yard line late in overtime. On the next play, Buffalo had only 10 men on the ďŹ eld and allowed a 57-yard run by Jay Ajayi that set up the winning ďŹ eld goal. Ryan was ďŹ red on Tuesday. ... The Tennessee Titans also saw their playoff hopes end in painful fashion. The Titans lost at Jacksonville and lost quarterback Marcus Mariota to a broken leg during the game. Mariota needed surgery and will miss up to ďŹ ve months. ... The Seattle Seahawks are going to the playoffs, but speedy receiver/returner Tyler Lockett wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be with them after breaking two bones in his right leg while catching a touchdown

in a loss to the Cardinals. Seattle hopes to have Lockett back by training camp next summer. ...

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer tried to downplay it, but reports indicated that veteran cornerback Terence Newman insisted he cover Packers receiver Jordy Nelson at times in the ďŹ rst half even though the plan was for Xavier Rhodes to follow Nelson regardless of where he lined up. Nelson ended up with seven catches for 145 yards and two scores in the ďŹ rst half but only two catches for 9 yards in the second half with Rhodes shadowing him. ... Tampa Bay signed running back Doug Martin to a ďŹ ve-year deal during the offseason worth $35.75 million, but last week he was a healthy scratch against the Saints. On Monday, coach Dirk Koetter would not say if Martin, who is averaging 2.9 yards per carry, would play Week 17 against Carolina.

Oaklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad break The Oakland Raiders will play in the postseason for the ďŹ rst time since the 2002 season, but they will have to do it without their starting quarterback. Derek Carr suffered a broken right ďŹ bula in the fourth quarter of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Indianapolis and will miss the playoffs after surgery. An NFL MVP candidate, Carr threw for 228 yards and three scores before getting injured, giving him 3,933 yards on the season with 28 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Carr has started all 47 games since being drafted and is expected to be ready for next season.

Sidelined with injury in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14, Barrett gets another chance The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When Ohio State captured an improbable national championship two years ago, J.T. Barrett was pushing himself around on the sideline on a scooter that kept his broken right ankle elevated.

After a breakout season filling in for the injured Braxton Miller in 2014, Barrett went down in the Michigan game, ushering in third-string quarterback Cardale Jones and consecutive victories over Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon. Barrett could only lean on the scooter and watch the heroics.

A healthy, confident Barrett led the Buckeyes to an 11-1 record and a spot in the College Football PlayoďŹ&#x20AC; against Clemson on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve. Instead of being relegated to

the fringe, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now is at the center of intense bowl game prep with a chance to play for another national championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blessing just to be healthy throughout the long season,â&#x20AC;? Barrett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to be able to play, man, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful for that.â&#x20AC;?

OďŹ&#x20AC; the field, Barrett is softspoken but self-assured. On the field, pre-game and at halftime, the young Texan can be seen yelling at his teammates to fire them up . Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become known for online videos of his fiery locker room speeches, but talks so softly in interviews that sometimes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to hear.

A split personality? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed at the time,â&#x20AC;? he told a news conference

in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be screaming and yelling talking to yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all. Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all are not about to play Clemson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... Outside of the ball game scenario, this is who you get,â&#x20AC;? Barrett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I apologize if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not throwing water bottles across the room and knocking reporters, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not that guy.â&#x20AC;?

Despite a stumble at Penn State and some ongoing diďŹ&#x192;culties getting on the same page with his young group of wide receivers, Barrett has been the catalyst of the Ohio State oďŹ&#x20AC;ense. He has consistently found ways to win, tucking the ball and picking up yards when the Buckeyes needed it most. Although he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match his 2014 numbers, Barrett broke the school record this season for

all-purpose touchdowns while throwing for 2,428 yards and 24 scores and rushing for 847 yards and another nine TDs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that anybody will tell you that when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taken away from the game that you love you grow to appreciate it,â&#x20AC;? said wide receiver Noah Brown, who sat out all of the 2015 season rehabbing a broken leg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that this time around heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a great appreciation for what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to do and takes great responsibility for the outcome.â&#x20AC;?

Ohio State lost 16 starters after an uneven 2015 season. Their championship hopes faded with a loss to Michigan State in the second-to-last game of the season.

Barrett ended up taking over for an ineďŹ&#x20AC;ective Jones during the

year and also served a one-game suspension for drunken driving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The things that happened oďŹ&#x20AC; the field, that helped me grow as a person,â&#x20AC;? Barrett told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(You) understand that this game of football can come and go real fast if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold onto it.â&#x20AC;?

With eight new starters on each side of the ball this year, a return to the College Football PlayoďŹ&#x20AC; seemed unlikely; even coach Urban Meyer acknowledged that he thought the Buckeyes were at least a season away from competing for a championship again.

But a terrific defense emerged, dynamic H-back Curtis Samuel lived up to expectations and freshman Mike Weber took a major Please see BARRETT | 11

Golden Bears finally win one

BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Santa delivered Wednesday, three days after Christmas.

You might remember in my column last week I asked Santa to bring the Alcorn Central Golden Bears their first win of the season after 14 tough losses.

Well, it happened Wednesday morning at the Peggy Bain Holiday Hoops Tournament.

It was a long time coming but ACHS broke through with its initial win of the season by handling Falkner 60-46.

In so doing it led from early in the game until the final horn sounded.

Gage Porterfield and Jay Coln both had terrific games to

pace the Bears and hand head coach Mike Wallace that victory he and his team had been struggling to find since early November.

ACHS had a good start and that was important because the Eagles played a decent second quarter to stay within five points at halftime.

In a change of roles, Central controlled the second half and pulled away late for the 14-point win.

Porterfield finished the game with 26 to lead the Bears, followed by Coln’s 19 and Tayton Smith with 8.

(G) Byhalia 83, Alcorn Central 54 Coach

Charlette

Foster

pulled all her starters within the first minute of the game due to a lack of focus and effort.

By that time Byhalia had already established a comfortable lead on its way to a convincing 83-54 win over the Lady Bears.

It was just the opposite of the previous day, when ACHS had a good start, especially in the second quarter. This time there would be no rally.

The Lady Indians — who can flat out handle the rock and put it in the hoop — led 53-29 at the break and cruised from that point.

Malory Wigginton paced ACHS with 26.

(G) Hernando 44, Tishomingo County 35

Some days are diamonds, some days are coal.

Wednesday was somewhere in between for the Lady Braves as they lost another hard-fought game that they could have won, falling 44-35 to the Hernando Lady Tigers.

Neither team could find much of an offensive rhythm throughout the contest, but Hernando stayed just far enough ahead of TCHS to keep an arm’s length.

It was a 10-point game heading into the fourth quarter, and Tishomingo County held HHS to seven points in the frame.

The problem was it only scored eight itself.

Bigger stakes produced better games in ’16 The Associated Press

Don’t you love it when the game lives up to the hype?

The year 2016 produced plenty of games like that — contests in which the action was the best when everything was on the line.

The Cubs and Indians, the Warriors and Cavs, the Tar Heels and Wildcats all saved their best for when it was win or go home.

A look at some of the best games of 2016:

END OF THE CURSE — You wanted drama? Well, leave it to the Cubs to give you drama.

After trailing 3 games to 1 to Cleveland in the World Series, the Cubs drew even, and then it came down to a single game to see if the championship drought that dated to 1908 would come to an end. In Game 7, the Cubs led 5-1 in the fifth inning and 6-3 in the eighth.

But the Indians were also trying to break a drought; they hadn’t won a title since 1948,

and they weren’t about to quit.

Rajai Davis hit a game-tying home run in the eighth. With the game tied after nine innings, a rain shower came and halted the action — prolonging the drama for an extra 17 minutes. When they resumed, the Cubs scored twice in the top of the 10th. Cleveland got one of those runs back in the bottom of the inning, but Chicago held on. First baseman Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs recorded the final out at 12:47 a.m., stuck

that history-making ball in his back pocket, then ran to the mound to celebrate.

THE BLOCK, THE GAME — Through six games of the NBA finals, the Warriors and Cavaliers were dead even. Not just at three games apiece, but they had scored the exact same number of points: 610. A good series? Hardly. None of the first six games was decided by single digits. The average marPlease see BETTER | 11

(B) Ashland 63, Tishomingo Co. 59

(G) Kossuth 60, West Union 28

Braves head coach Craig Dailey knows Ashland well, having been in the same division with them last year when he was at Hickory Flat.

The defending Division 1-A state champions were forced to rally late for the win Wednesday.

TCHS led 45-43 entering the final period and still led with about five minutes remaining when the Blue Devils pulled ahead by four. The Braves had a shot to get even the score with less than 20 seconds remaining but Ashland stole a pass and turned it into a layup at the other end to ice the game.

Caleb McCalmon poured in 19 to lead TCHS, followed by Tayvious Duckett with 10 and Tucker Hill with nine.

The Lady Aggies scored all the points they’d need in the first half against West Union on their way to a 60-28 victory against West Union.

Kossuth jumped out to a commanding 33-16 halftime advantage and shut the Lady Eagles out over the final eight minutes of the contest to cruise to another win.

Morgan Hodum led all scorers with 20, followed

by Kaylee Bonds with 14 and Lydia Lee with eight.

There was further action in the Peggy Bain Classic Wednesday, but due to an early deadline, we were not able to publish all the scores in today’s sports section. We’ll have the remainder of the scores, including the Biggersville boys game against Lake Cormorant and the Kossuth boys and Walnut boys and girls NAHS hosting scores from the New Albatournament ny Invitational, in Friday’s Down in Union County, edition.

Djokovic that left the Serb in tears. Later that week, an equally thrilling match for del Potro: a 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over Rafael Nadal in the semifinals. “I didn’t expect to reach the final, beating Djokovic and Rafa,” del Potro said, “but I did, and I get a medal, and it’s amazing for me.” Del Potro lost a three-setter to Andy Murray in the final, but hard to argue who the star of the Rio Games really was.

BEST OF THE REST —

Iceland’s 2-1 victory over England in the round of 16 of the European Championships was not only thrilling theater, it may have been the biggest single upset of the sports year. ... Ohio State beat Michigan 30-27 in double overtime to add another thrilling chapter to one of college football’s best rivalries. The win propelled the Buckeyes to the College Football Playoff even though they didn’t play in the Big Ten title game.

... The 2-pointer was big in football. A pair of NFL games came down to rare, 2-point defensive conversions. After giving up the game-tying touchdown, the Broncos blocked the extra point and returned it for two for a 25-23 win over the Saints. A few weeks later, Eric Berry returned a Matt Ryan interception on a 2-point try the length of the field for a deuce of his own to lift the Chiefs to a 29-28 win over the Falcons.

gin of victory: 19.6 points.

All was forgiven after Game 7. The highlight of the NBA season came with 1:50 left, with the score tied at 89, when LeBron James ran the length of the court to block Andre Igoudala’s attempt at a go-ahead layup.

The Cavaliers went on to win 93-89.

James brought the title back to his hometown and his block now has its own T-shirt(s) and Wikipedia page. Said James: “I was just like, ‘Do not give up on the play. If you got an opportunity, just try to make this play.’”

ONE GOOD SHOT DESERVES ANOTHER — Had the game gone into overtime, and had North Carolina pulled out the win, then Marcus Paige’s game-tying, double-clutch 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left in regulation would have

gone down as one of the greatest in NCAA history.

Instead, Villanova called timeout, coach Jay Wright called the play — “Wildcat” — Kris Jenkins took an underhanded flip from Ryan Arcidiacono and calmly spotted up and swished the game-winning 3 at the buzzer. Villanova 77, North Carolina 74 .

That the tight game ended with the underdog beating the blue blood only added to the magic and the tradition of March Madness. Smiling in the stands as he watched the shot go: Michael Jordan. The Tar Heel great smiled, looked to his buddy Ahmad Rashad, and simply said: “Good shot, good shot.”

DUEL II — In the final round of the British Open, Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson put on a show reminiscent of the “Duel in the Sun” that Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson waged a

generation earlier . Mickelson shot a bogey-free round of 65 and it wasn’t enough.

Stenson shot 8-under 63 to beat Mickelson by three and win his first major. No other player was within 10 shots.

Afterward, the two put their arms around each other’s shoulders much the same as Nicklaus and Watson did in 1977, when they finished their two-man show at Turnberry. Watson won that one by a shot, and nobody else was within 10.

“Our final round was really good,” Nicklaus said, “but theirs was even better.”

DEL POTRO — Nobody made Olympic tennis more worth watching than Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro. The 2009 U.S. Open champion, mostly injured and sunk deep in the rankings for years, opened his Olympic quest with a thrilling 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2) victory over top-ranked Novak

step toward becoming the next great tailback in Columbus. And Barrett seemed to take personal responsibility for winning games.

“I think within the team we were definitely confident in our skills,” he said. “We knew we were young and were going to have to get a lot of experience pretty fast, and I think that’s what the road games helped us with.

Losing at Penn State also helped us in that as well.

“At the beginning of the season we weren’t chirping and letting everybody know we were going to be a good team but we put our heads down and went to work in order to show that for ourselves more than anything.”

With another year of eligibility remaining, Barrett hasn’t said whether he’s coming back to Ohio State next year or entering the NFL draft, but his size (6foot-2) and mediocre arm strength likely would keep him from being a top pick even among available quarterbacks.

For now, he’s focused on winning a playoff game and a national championship.

Two years ago, all he could was look on and hope there would be a next time.

“I think playing in it is something totally different,” he said. “I was able to watch and help our team from the sidelines, but playing in it, like I said, that’s totally different. That’s something I definitely want to be a part of.”
