Service helps with quitting

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Basket fund tops $16,000 The spirit of giving this Christmas season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area.

Donations continue to arrive for the 19th 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. 6. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached.

So far, $16,014 has been raised, meaning $8,986 still needs to be raised to make the goal.

Recent donations include $25 from Tommy and Sherrie McKelvey, Jason McKelvey and Dominick Singleton in memory of Denise Evetts Singleton; $500 anonymous gift; $30 from First United Methodist Church; $200 from James W. Cole in memory of Shirley Cole; $150 from Rogers Supermarket in memory of Jimmy Gardner; and $150 from Gardner’s Supermarket in memory of Jimmy Gardner.

Contributions to the Christmas Basket Fund can be made “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person or persons. The tribute will be published in the Daily Corinthian.

Donations can be brought by the newspaper office 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or mailed to: Daily Corinthian, Attn.:Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, MS 38835.

Kicking the habit can be a pain in the butt and many tobacco users who make the pledge to snuff it out are really just blowing smoke.

While some can quit cold turkey and never pick it up again,

for most it is an irritating, nailbiting, weight-gaining struggle which can seem impossible to overcome.

Fortunately, help is only a click or phone call away for Mississippi residents who want to trade in their ashes for a healthier lifestyle in the New

Year.

Providing smokers with the tools and the courage necessary to keep their tobacco-free resolutions, the Mississippi Tobacco Quitline offers smoking cessation to those wishing to live better and breathe easier.

Calendar promotes safety

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Educating motorists on the importance of vehicular safety, B.A.G.G.E.R.S (Bikers Awareness Group Giving Every Road Safety) is raising money to keep their program moving forward through the sale of their 2015 calendar.

Featuring 12 edgy photos of local female riders , the “Babes of Motorcycle Awareness” calendar is available for a donation of $15.

“Our goal is to encourage

drivers to share the road and be more mindful of motorcycles,” said B.A.G.G.E.R.S member Lisa Lambert.

An avid photographer and rider since 2010, Lambert hopes her calendar photos will serve as a daily reminder that bikers are on the road.

“Motorcycle awareness is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. I ride and have family members and friends who ride as well,” said Lambert.

“If what we do saves even one life from being lost in an acci-

from my past, I wanted to help others do the same.”

Mental health counselors such as Hector provide a huge range of services to clients: ■ Assessment and diagnosis ■ Psychotherapy ■ Treatment planning and utilization review ■ Brief and solution-focused therapy ■ Alcoholism and substance abuse treatment ■ Psychoeducational and prevention programs ■ Crisis management “It is hard to get people to talk about their feelings,” said Hector. “People are quick to say what they think rather than what they feel, but if you truly listen, you will know the questions to ask that will help them express their feelings.”

The counselor prefers working with adolescent and adult clients.

“My niche is marriage and family therapy, because I want to help the entire family,” she said. “Change affects all of their relationships, especially those in the home.”

According to Hector, the number one issue in both age divisions is relationships.

“This drives people to express themselves in positive and negative ways as they seek the love, acceptance and security they desire,” she said.

“When these basic needs aren’t met, it can lead to depression, self-harm, harm to others, drug experimentation, or other negative and self-defeating behaviors.”

Another prominent problem faced in dealing with clients is resolving conflict, according to Hector.

“I ask a lot of questions to help clients discover truth for themselves,” said the counsel-

dent, then all the efforts of our group to raise awareness in the Crossroads area will have been worth it.”

All proceeds from the calendar will go toward the funding of the group’s motorcycle awareness campaign.

“Each lady BAGGER who participates in the project receives a free calendar,” explained the photographer.

“Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we are able to Please see CALENDAR | 3

or. “There aren’t right or wrong answers … the questions help us collaboratively resolve the problem.”

It’s all about helping the client, according to Hector.

“It’s not about the way I want a client to live or resolve problems, but it’s about clients learning what is best for them,” said Hector. “Conflict resolution is most effective when the goal is to improve the relationship and increase intimacy … it all boils down to love.”

Hector stressed most clients are hesitant to talk about their issues.

“They don’t want to be judged,” she said.

In all situations, Hector turns to God. “He knows each one better than I do,” said Hector. “So, I just ask God to give me realistic and simple examples to help each client.”

Americans’ sense of duty is slipping, survey says

BY CONNIE CASS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans are a little less likely to ask what they can do for their country these days.

An Associated PressGfK poll found that the sense of duty has slipped since a similar survey three decades earlier. Civic virtues such as staying informed or serving on a jury don’t seem as important as they once did — especially among the younger generation.

The findings fit with research that’s been worrying many experts who study civic engagement or advocate for teaching more about civics in school.

“I don’t see any recovery,” said Rutgers University Professor Cliff Zukin.

“The people who were 40 two decades ago aren’t as engaged as the people who were 60 two decades ago.

This generational slippage tends to continue.”

Citzenship’s not what it used to be Americans’ commitment to some traditional obligations of citizenship has slipped.

An Associated PressGfK poll repeated questions asked in 1984 about six civic-minded activities: voting, volunteering, serving on a jury, reporting crime, knowing English and keeping informed about news and public issues.

Of the six, only voting and volunteering were embraced about as strongly as three decades ago, when NORC at the University of Chicago posed those questions to Americans on the General Social Survey, but volunteering doesn’t rank very high on the list for many.

While just 28 percent

say volunteering is “a very important obligation” that a citizen owes the country, three-fourths of Americans consider voting central to citizenship.

Nonetheless, only about 36 percent of eligible voters turned out for November’s midterms, according to University of Florida Associate Professor Michael P. McDonald’s analysis.

Big majorities still feel an obligation Despite some sliding, Americans still think U.S. citizenship carries some duties as well as rights.

About 9 out of 10 say that reporting a crime you witness, voting in elections, knowing English and serving on a jury when called are at least “somewhat important” obligations.

And each of those is still rated “very important” by

a majority. It’s just that, except in the case of voting, those majorities have slipped by an average of about 13 percentage points.

“There are a lot of arguments about how our society has shifted toward a rights focus instead of an obligation focus,” said Scott Keeter, director of survey research at the Pew Research Center.

But Keeter isn’t convinced there’s enough evidence to support that conclusion.

Sense of duty lowest in the young Young people are feeling less dutiful, or maybe just showing their libertarian streak.

In every category except volunteering, adults under 30 were less likely than their elders to see any obligation, and also felt less obliged than young people of the past.

In 2014 about a fourth

of them said there’s no duty to keep informed, volunteer or speak English.

Young adults felt the most responsibility about reporting a crime: twothirds said that’s “very important,” and the rest were divided between “somewhat important” and “not an obligation.”

Still, in 1984, their parents’ generation was much more devoted to maintaining law and order — 86 percent of young adults then called reporting crime “very important.”

Volunteering gained ground in under-30s

for community service “very important.”

Nineteen percent said that three decades ago; 29 percent think so now.

“That’s partly the fact that we have built up our institutions for volunteering,” said Peter Levine, associate dean for research at Tufts’ Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service. “Something like 30 percent of high schools have service learning programs. They didn’t have that in the 1980s.”

Is anybody reading this?

Compared to the 1984 survey, Americans’ sense of obligation fell across every category and age, save one.

Today’s young people are more likely than their parents’ generation to consider giving their time

Americans don’t feel much pressure to keep up with news and public issues anymore.

Only 37 percent think that’s very important, down from a majority — 56 percent — in 1984.

In fact, a fifth say there’s no obligation at all to stay fully informed.

State ag values poised to top $7 billion

Today in History

Associated Press

STARKVILLE — The overall projected totals for Mississippi’s crop values should top $7 billion for the third straight year, experts say, despite low prices for some goods.

John Michael Riley, agricultural economist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said his preliminary estimate of 2014 is over $7.7 billion. Final figures will be available in May. “The row crops sector of the agricultural economy took a bit of hit, but there were pockets of that sector that saw improvements, such as cotton and rice,” Riley said. “On the bright side, the livestock sector is doing well with all three segments — beef cattle, dairy cattle and hogs — showing double-digit improvements, percentage wise, from the previous year.”

Poultry remained in first place with a $3.13 billion projected total value. At $2.88 billion, broilers showed a slight increase from 2013. Egg values were up nearly 10 percent, reflecting strong

Forestry is the state’s No. 2 commodity. It saw a 13.8 percent increase in value, driven by an improvement in housing starts. At $1.28 billion in 2014, the state’s forest harvest value has increased 48 percent since 2009, when the effects of the recession first began to hit the industry.

James Henderson, an associate forestry professor with the MSU Extension Service, said he expects this positive trend to continue.

“Expectations are for a nearly 20 percent increase in total U.S. housing starts in 2015 as more first-time buyers enter the housing market,” Henderson said.

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi Department of Corrections should eliminate as many of its nobid contracts as possible and start a competitive process to see if it can get better deals, says a group that’s reviewing the prison system after a former corrections commissioner was indicted on corruption charges.

The five-member task force met Monday and agreed on a dozen initial recommendations to give to Gov. Phil Bryant and lawmakers ahead of the three-month legislative session, which begins Jan. 6.

Bryant appointed the group in November after former Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps and businessman

Cecil McCrory were indicted on federal corruption charges tied to prison contracts. The two men have pleaded not guilty and await trial in April.

Andy Taggart, an attorney who is co-chairman of the task force, said the recommendations are designed to promote transparency in government. He said even the tightest laws and regulations wouldn’t prevent people from engaging in bribery or other corrupt acts, if they’re inclined to do those things. However, Taggart said: “Our job is to make it as hard as possible.”

The task force, which will continue working several more months, recommends that all Department of Corrections contracts, no matter the dollar amount, go through a bid process.

It says independent investigators or a legislative watchdog committee should analyze whether the state should continue to use private companies to operate some of the prisons — a practice that started in the mid1990s. The task force also recommends that investigators or a legislative committee analyze management of the privately run Walnut Grove Correctional Facility and the handling of commissary services within all state prisons.

Epps was commissioner for 12 years.

He resigned from the $132,700-a-year job Nov. 5, and federal prosecutors the next day released the indictment charging him and McCrory, who is a former state representative.

Prosecutors say that starting in 2007,

and feed costs remaining low, the outlook for 2015 looks promising.

■ Corn was sixth at $349.6 million; its lowest overall value since 2009.

“Mississippi producers dropped from 830,000 to 520,000 harvested acres of corn and saw about a $1.73 drop per bushel in price. With a current projected price of $3.62 per bushel, it’s the lowest price we’ve seen since 2006,” Riley said.

Riley said the 55.3 percent drop in corn from 2013’s values was more of an issue of lower acres than lower prices.

■ While the catfish industry has declined for several years, production has been steady since the significant decrease in water acres in 2010-2011.

“The price has come up 20 cents per pound based on the lower supply, and that has kept those who decided to stay in the industry going,” Riley said.

“The drop in soybean price has helped this industry as well.”

Total production of catfish is down 13.4 million pounds in 2013 to 156.9

million total pounds in 2014. The combined total value for catfish, stockers, fingerlings and fry is $197.3 million, up 11.1 percent.

■ Rice prices and acres were up. Producers harvested 190,000 acres with a yield of 7,200 hundredweight and a price of $13.68 per hundredweight. Rice was No. 8 spot with an estimated value of $174 million.

■ Hog producers saw a 21.5 percent increase this year, with an estimated production value of about $153 million and a No. 9 ranking in 2014.

“Short supply due to the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus that was causing piglets to die was the biggest factor, so we had an overall drop in production across the U.S.,” Riley said. “The smaller supply caused the price increase. Mississippi producers increased their hog inventories a few years ago, and while they’ve pulled back a little because of the virus, inventories are much higher than in previous years.”

Often seen handing out pamphlets and flyers at events, members of the motorcycle awareness group view their calendar as another medium through which they can call attention to a horrific factor which contributes to more than 4,000 deaths in the U.S. every year.

The calendars are available for purchase through any B.A.G.G.E.R.S member or by stopping by McPeter’s Funeral Home at 1951 East Fifth Street.

Comprised of 14 local bikers, the B.A.G.G.E.R.S group was founded in 2013, giving a voice to riders who often go unnoticed.

“We recently finished a film which promotes awareness and illustrates the devastation of motorcycle accidents,” said Lambert.

In addition to visiting schools in Corinth and Hardin County, the group has been invited to Baldwyn and Smithville where they will show their video and wreck scene photos to students en-

Epps steered prison-services contracts toward companies with which McCrory was affiliated as owner or consultant.

McCrory’s company, G.T. Enterprises, was awarded a no-bid contract to provide inmate commissary services in 2007.

In the commissary system, prisoners can receive money from their families to order items such as combs or candy bars and the items are usually delivered days later. The interim corrections commissioner, Rick McCarty, said the Department of Corrections used to run the commissary system without the help of a private contractor. One of the task force members, attorney Constance Slaughter-Harvey, said Monday that the department should consider taking over that

responsibility again. She said she has received calls from inmates’ relatives who say the high prices of commissary items are a financial burden.

The group also makes several recommendations that would affect all state agencies, if put in place: ■ Every agency would have to seek competitive bids on every contract that’s worth at least $100,000.

■ Every vendor that has a contract with a state agency would have to file a disclosure form showing the name of and fees paid to any consultant who helped the vendor secure a state contract.

■ Every vendor with a state contract would have to disclose the name and address of any person who owns or controls more than 5 percent of the vendor’s business.

Local experts agree that those who seek and receive professional help double their likelihood quitting for good.

A highly addictive drug, nicotine cravings and withdrawals can subdue those with even the strongest will.

It is estimated that some 540,000 adults and 2, 700 children in under the age of 18 become smokers in Mississippi each year.

Approximately 4,700 adults will die in Mississippi due to to-

“We saw a much lower price for soybeans than in 2013,” Riley said. “However, the second largest crop ever produced in the state offset most of the drop in prices.”

Others in the report: ■ Cotton was No. 4 with an estimated value this year at $403.6 million.

Darrin Dodds, cotton specialist with the Extension Service, said producers planted 420,000 acres in cotton in 2014, up from 295,000 last year.

“Like last year, we were late planting because of cool wet weather,” Dodds said. “We were worried about time on the back end to make a crop, but fortunately, we had a long fall and got some hot weather in September, which helped tremendously.”

Corinth, Miss.

State’s educational attainment inexorably linked to poverty STARKVILLE — Since we’re headed into a courthouse-tostatehouse election year in Mississippi, the political conversation will of course turn to who is responsible for any and every thing that’s not to the Sid Salter liking of the state’s electorate.

Democrats tell us that MisColumnist sissippi’s troubling unemployment numbers are the fault of Republicans in control of the legislative and executive branches of government in Mississippi. Republicans tell us that Mississippi’s health care disparities are the fault of Democratic President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats who supported the Affordable Care Act. The finger-pointing will continue, such is the political process.

But there’s one correlation in Mississippi that’s been true all of my life and that’s the undeniable fact that our state ranks at or near the bottom in most economic indices and likewise we rank at or near the bottom in educational attainment.

Here’s what a recent 24/7 Wall St. website analysis found: “Based on recently released educational attainment data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, West Virginia had the lowest level of educational attainment, with 18.9 percent of adults 25 and older having attained at least a bachelor’s degree in 2013. Conversely, more than 40 percent of Massachusetts residents had at least a bachelor’s degree, the highest percentage nationwide.”

So Massachusetts led the nation in educational attainment, has a median household income of $66,768 (6th highest in the U.S.) and only 11.9 percent (11th lowest in the nation) living below the poverty level.

Conversely, Mississippi has the secondlowest educational attainment in the country, finishing second to West Virginia. Mississippi has a median income of $37,963(lowest in the nation) and 24 percent living below the poverty level (highest in the nation).

So how did the 24/7 Wall St. writers assess the Magnolia State? “Nearly one in four Mississippi residents lived in poverty last year, by far the highest rate in the nation. More than 35 percent of people without a high school diploma in the state lived in poverty, also the highest rate compared to all other states.

“The poverty rate was substantially lower for residents with at least a bachelor’s degree, at just 6.7 percent. When compared to educated residents in other states, however, this was still among the highest rates in the country. Even residents with the highest level of educational attainment — professional or graduate degrees — earned considerably less than those in other states.

“The median earnings of Mississippi residents with such degrees was less than $48,000 last year, the lowest nationwide,” the 24/7 Wall St. writers concluded.

The conclusion that low educational attainment, poverty and joblessness go handin-hand is inescapable. When I was a child, Democrats enjoyed the same dominance in state government that Republicans enjoy today. So the finger-pointing is, in most cases, simply political posturing.

But as clear as the evidence is of the correlation between educational attainment and poverty, lawmakers face other vexing issues in a volatile election-year session in 2015.

The issues are varied and include prisons and corruption, public health care and the future of the state’s rural hospitals, the state’s infrastructure and the future of funding for that system, and many other challenges.

The good news is that unlike some prior years – and likely some future years as well – the Legislature has some resources with which to address the larger problems this year. While employment numbers remains troublesome, the state’s revenue stream has been steady – indicative of a trajectory of fiscal recovery in the state’s economy.

Prayer for today Almighty God, as I come to thee wilt thou forgive me for the errors I have made, and for the promises that I have broken. Help me to be as true as the holly that keeps itself red through the snow. Remind me of my opportunities as I breathe in thy blessings, “Lest I forget!” Amen.

A verse to share “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Stop lying about the police We have heard a lot lately about tensions between the police and the communities that they serve, and the urgent need to reduce them.

Here’s an easy first step: Stop lying about the cops.

The “national conversation” about race and policing we’ve been having ever since Michael Brown was shot by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Mo., last summer has been based on lies. The lie that Officer Wilson shot Brown while he had his hands up and was pleading “Don’t shoot.”

The lie that New York City policemen targeted Eric Garner for a violent arrest because he was black. The lie, peddled especially by the progressive prince of New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio, that the police are racist.

These are the lies that fuel hatred for the police, because if the police routinely execute black men in cold blood and serve a thoroughly racist system, they deserve to be hated.

They should be the subject of nightly protests. They should be showered with obloquy. They should be harried by Attorney General Eric Holder. They should be

considered a stain on the national conscience to be extricated at all costs.

This is the Rich line of reaLowry soning that leads to proNational testers chantReview ing: “What do we want?

Dead cops. When do we want them? Now.” His rote praise of the police notwithstanding, especially now that he is under so much political pressure after the murders of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, Mayor de Blasio is deeply invested in this smear. It is why he has made career anti-police agitator Al Sharpton practically deputy police commissioner. It is why he considers the police a clear and present danger to his biracial son, Dante. It is why he said the tragic death of Eric Garner in police custody was the product of “centuries of racism.”

The logic of the de Blasio view tends toward the conclusion that the police are unbelievably insidious: They recruit people of all

races to go into dangerous neighborhoods on the pretense of protecting innocent people there, when in reality the mission is to harass black kids and, should the opportunity arise, kill them.

If this were true, it would make the police as a class not just racists, but sociopaths.

It fails the basic standard of common sense, and defies the numbers. As Heather Mac Donald of City Journal writes: “Criminologists have spent decades trying to prove that the overrepresentation of blacks and Hispanic in prison demonstrates that the criminal justice system is racist. And each time they fail. Even the most leftwing academics have been forced to admit that crime, not race, determines criminal justice outcomes.”

Police go where the crime is, and at considerable risk to themselves. Surely, if their own comfort and safety were all that mattered to them, they would spend all their time patrolling the poshest neighborhoods in America.

Police critics have taken Ferguson and Garner and have woven them into a narrative of reckless disregard

for the lives of blacks. After the grand jury declined to indict in the Garner case, de Blasio referred to a “profound” crisis. The numbers suggest the opposite: As crime has declined – thanks, in part, to rigorous policing – police interactions with the public have declined and have involved fewer instances of the use of force.

Our national conversation has been a national fever. Now, perhaps it will break. As Jaden Ramos, the 13-year-old son of Rafael Ramos, wrote in a heartbreaking Facebook post about his dad, “Everyone says they hate cops but they are the people that they call for help.” There is more wisdom in that simple statement than in most of the cable chatter, protest chants and op-eds written in the wake of Ferguson and the Garner case.

If we really want to reduce tensions between the community and men like Officer Rafael Ramos, it is imperative, first, to stop lying about the police.

Questions linger on potential metal mill JACKSON — The strange recruitment of a potential $1.2 billion aluminum mill rolls on.

American Specialty Alloys had promised to announce a site and a financing plan by the end of the year. The company sparked a lot of speculation by putting a countdown clock on its website that ended at 7 p.m.

December 19. But Chief Marketing Officer George Riel said that the countdown was only to a holiday party that also doubled as a “roll out” event for “staff, partners and customers.”

Riel now says the company plans to publicly name a site in the first three months of 2015. The company hopes to break ground in March and wants its first phase to begin operations by late 2016.

“There’s a lot of moving parts and we’ve been very diligent and very careful about where we build,” Riel said in a telephone interview Dec. 23.

People interested in working for the company can now apply for jobs on its website, which touts the company as providing “spe-

cialty grade aluminumtitanium for automotive and aerospace.”

The deJeff Amy lay in itself might not be Columnist remarkable.

But the company’s selection process seems a little unusual.

For example, American Specialty Alloys sent out a news release in November saying it planned a $1.2 billion aluminum mill that would employ at least 650 workers. The company says it will use innovative technology to more cheaply make strong aluminum for cars and airplanes.

Lots of companies announce plans to build a plant in a region and then name a site later. But such releases setting up a bakeoff between potential sites usually go out earlier in the process. In this case, American Specialty Alloys had already incorporated in Mississippi and lists an address in an industrial area in Columbus.

The company has also

been granted some environmental permits at a site near Golden Triangle Regional Airport in Lowndes County.

American Specialty Alloys says it is considering other locations, and Riel says the company “has very good options” when it comes to choosing a site. He also says the company has not yet sought permits in any other state, although it has plans to.

Then there’s the question of incentives. Joe Max Higgins, the lead industrial developer for Golden Triangle Development Link, hasn’t returned calls to talk about American Specialty Alloys.

Higgins is an experienced big-game hunter when it comes to bagging industries such as what is now Steel Dynamics, Yokohama Rubber Co., Airbus Helicopters and PACCAR. But recruiting an industry with such a large investment would typically involve action by the Legislature. The state offered Yokohama more than $330 million in cash and tax breaks if it builds all the phases of a $1.2 billion tire

plant in West Point, holding a brief special session to firm up the deal. State Rep. Gary Chism, R-Columbus, said earlier this month that he knew little about American Specialty Alloys or what might be asked of the Legislature, though.

There’s also the mystery of where the money is coming from. The people associated with American Specialty Alloys appear to be credible, and outlets tracking metal production take the project seriously. For example, American Metals Market has reported that industry sources expect the company to sell most of its production to Chrysler and BMW. But when asked how the company will raise $1.2 billion to build the plant, Riel says only that “private investors” will foot the bill.

All these questions may amount to little if Gov. Phil Bryant turns a golden shovel in a Lowndes County field early next year. But for now, the answers are unclear.

Being uninsured will cost you more WASHINGTON — Being uninsured in America will cost you more in 2015.

It’s the first year all taxpayers have to report to the Internal Revenue Service whether they had health insurance for the previous year, as required under President Barack Obama’s law. Those who were uninsured face fines, unless they qualify for one of about 30 exemptions, most of which involve financial hardships.

Dayna Dayson of Phoenix estimates that she’ll have to pay the taxman $290 when she files her federal return. Dayson, who’s in her early 30s, works in marketing and doesn’t have a lot left over each month after housing, transportation and other fixed costs. She’d like health insurance but she couldn’t afford it in 2014, as required by the law. “It’s touted as this amazing thing, but right now, for me, it doesn’t fit into my budget,� she said.

Ryan Moon of Des Moines, Iowa, graduated from college in 2013 with a bachelor’s in political science, and is still hunting for a permanent job with benefits. He expects to pay a fine of $95. A supporter of the health care law, he feels conflicted about its insurance mandate and fines. “I hate the idea that you have to pay a penalty, but at the same time, it helps other people,â€? said Moon, who’s in his early 20s. “It really helps society, but society has to be forced to help society.â€? Â

Young generation are avid volunteers WASHINGTON — Tired of hearing people grouse about a tunedout, apathetic younger generation?

Well, here’s a comeback: Today’s young Americans are more serious about giving back than their parents were.

In fact, those under age 30 now are more likely to say citizens have a “very important obligation� to volunteer, an Associated PressGfK poll finds.

The embrace of volunteering is striking because young people’s commitment to other civic duties — such as voting, serving on a jury and staying informed

— has dropped sharply from their parents’ generation and is lower than that of Americans overall.

Among six civic activities in the AP-GfK poll, volunteering is the only one that adults under 30 rated as highly as older people did. “I want to make my city where I live a better place,� Morgan Gress, 24, of Washington said after sorting and hanging donated clothes with co-workers who chose to volunteer in lieu of an office holiday party. After you volunteer, she said, “You never walk away feeling you didn’t have a great time, or help someone out, or learn something new.�

Today’s young adults grew up amid nudges from a volunteering infrastructure that has grown exponentially since their parents’ day, when the message typically came through churches or scouting.

Gress doesn’t find it unusual that her employer, a hub for tech startups called 1776, encouraged workers to sort clothes at Bread for the City during office hours. Most of her friends work at companies with some sort of volunteer program, she says. Â

a trade group. “We need some sort of process that allows some of the low-risk operations,� said Jesse Kallman, the head of regulatory affairs for Airware, a drone technology company backed

by Google Ventures. “I think Congress understands that, and hopefully they’ll take steps in the coming year to address that.�

That appears to be what some key lawmakers have in mind. “We in Congress are very interested in UAS,�

Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said at a hearing this month, referring to unmanned aerial systems, or drones. “We understand UAS are an exciting technology with the potential to transform parts of our economy. ... It is our responsibility to take a close look.�

One of the committee’s first priorities next year is writing legislation to reauthorize FAA programs and overhaul aviation policy. The bill is expected to include directions from lawmakers on how to integrate drones into the nation’s aviation system. Â

Two men open fire on police patrol car

LOS ANGELES — Two Key drone decision likely from Congress men opened fire on a WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is on the verge of proposing long-awaited rules for commercial drone operations in U.S. skies, but key decisions on how much access to grant drones are likely to come from Congress next year.

Federal Aviation Administration officials have said they want to release proposed rules before the end of this month, but other government and industry officials say they are likely to be delayed until January. Meanwhile, except for a small number of companies that have received FAA exemptions, a ban on commercial drone flights remains in place. Even after rules are proposed, it is likely to be two or three years before regulations become final.

That’s too long to wait, say drone industry officials. Every year the ban remains in place, the United States loses more than $10 billion in potential economic benefits that drones could provide, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International,

police car patrolling a tough part of Los Angeles, but the two officers inside were not injured and one was able to shoot back, authorities said Monday. One of the suspects was later arrested and the other is on the loose.

The shooting occurred amid heightened tensions over attacks on police elsewhere in the country after grand juries declined to indict white officers in the killings of unarmed black men.

Police have not yet determined a motive for the Sunday night shooting in South Los Angeles — an area plagued by gang violence — but said there were no indications it was linked to other attacks on police in the country. “It was a complete unprovoked attack,�

LAPD Deputy Chief Bob Green said initially. “They were just driving on the street, and somebody struck out and tried to kill two policemen.�

However, Green later said police were looking into whether the officers might have driven into an ongoing dispute and were inadvertently fired at.

Shelter for medical needs to open in ’16

MUW raises healthy eating awareness

WIGGINS — Mississippi health officials expect to open in 2016 the state’s first stand-alone medical needs shelter.

Ground was broken on the shelter earlier this month. The $7.7 million facility will be located in Wiggins. “We chose Wiggins because it’s just down (U.S.) 49, so (people) could travel up 49. A lot of times our medical evacuees would be trying to get to Jackson,� Jim Craig, state Department of Health director of health protection, told The Hattiesburg American.

The 23,416-squarefoot shelter will provide a place to stay in an emergency for people with medical needs exceeding what can be offered in a general population shelter. It is self-sustaining

COLUMBUS — The Mississippi University for Women will launch in the fall of 2015 a project to raise awareness of healthy eating.

Project CHEW (Cook Healthy, Eat Well) will take a mobile unit across the state to emphasize healthy ingredients and food preparation techniques. The unit will have a 24-foot fully equipped catering trailer with a demonstration kitchen.

MUW officials say the Culinary Arts Institute project will demonstrate that preparing healthy, nutritious meals can be done anywhere — even on the road from a food trailer.

The demonstrations will be held at high schools, community colleges, markets and festivals across the state.

Hubs link consumers with local foods

BY LISA RATHKE Associated Press

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Move over farmers’ markets. More than 300 food hubs around the country are also providing small farms another outlet to sell locally raised food to consumers.

There’s no one model for a food hub — it depends on the market, the location and what it is grown in that area.

Some collect food from farms and dole it out to customers in weekly deliveries. Other hubs help consumers, restaurants, colleges and institutions to source food online. But producers, consumers and experts all say food hubs have an important thing in common: it’s an efficient way to get lo-

cally raised food to those clamoring for it.

“We’ve seen in the last few years in particular as local and region food systems have grown and become not only larger but kind of more sophisticated that there has been a need for sort of the logistics of moving food from the field to the consumers. And food hubs kind of fill that space,” said Doug O’Brien, deputy undersecretary for rural development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The agency spent about $25 million from 2009-2013 supporting food hubs.

The number of food hubs has doubled over the last six years, and many are in urban areas, with the Northeast lead-

What is your goal in life?

The selection is rather long. Many never really set a goal for themselves. If we aim for nothing, this is usually our

ing the way. Some operate as nonprofits, others are for-profit or producer-consumer cooperatives. Some are modeled after CSAs, or community supported agriculture, where consumers pay up front for food throughout the season.

That’s how the Intervale Food Hub in Burlington, Vermont, works, with 30 farms, 15 specialty producers and 1,100 members who pick up their weekly bundles at various sites around the city. The venture started in 2008 with just 192 members and 24 farms.

Legal secretary Betsy Bourbeau says the food hub’s deliveries to her place of work are more convenient than shopping at farmers’ markets and cuts down time at the store.

“I spend much less time looking at grocery sales, clipping coupons, driving around town and

finding parking. I just bring home my food on Wednesday and figure out what to make,” said Bourbeau, 50, who gets produce, bread, cheese, eggs and specialty items for about $38.50 a week — less than she would spend at a farmers’ market.

For farmers, food hubs provide distribution, marketing and, in some cases, processing and storage.

Predicting what will sell at a farmers’ market is a challenge, according to Ray Tyler of Rosecreek Farms in Selmer, Tennessee. By getting involved with the Bring It Food Hub in Memphis, Tyler can plan ahead for the next growing season, when the hub plans to double its membership to 400.

The emerging business model can be challenging, says Bring It Food Hub operations manager Alex Greene, because you

accomplishment. Some say I want a large plot of land to farm and graze a large herd of cattle...or I want to be a successful business person or I want to be a honest politician. These are noble goals in life and can be successfully achieved. That person who set goals in life and leaves God out is a very foolish person. The Bible - “...for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15) That is a very sobering thought, is it not?

"OBAMACARE" OPEN ENROLLMENT

Jesus provides true guidance in setting correct goals in life. First - am I a child of God? We become such by obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many have not grasped that goal yet, but Christ has grasped that goal for every accountable person. The Bible- “... come unto me-” (Matt. 11:28). “Behold I stand at the door, and knock,

CALL

if any man hear my voice, are you listening, and open the door, I will come in-” (Rev. 3:20).

All human efforts fail. There is no alternate route to redemption. Knowledge gives birth to faith. By putting faith in Christ one comes to know Him. Repentance calls for man to change a life style. The Bible - “Repent or perish...” (Luke 13:3-5). Tell the community that i have changed - confess the sweetest name of all.

have to cater to customers and be flexible with farmers, whose product is at the mercy of weather. Food hub leaders need “a sense of the end product” and have to learn the logistics, plus “managing the website, the online credit card system and other technical matters,” Greene said.

To that end, the University of Vermont is starting in January what it says is the nation’s first Food Hub Management Certificate Program.

“Many food hubs are up-and-coming businesses with staff who need further training or experience,” Cynthia Belliveau, dean of Continuing and Distance Education, said in a news release.

“High-quality staffing is one of the greatest challenges food hubs face, and it’s also a key contributing factor to their success.”

One of the two farmers’ markets that Josephine and Randy Alexander of Tubby Creek Farm in Ashland, Mississippi, had planned on selling at fell through this year, but they were able to sell most of the extra produce to the food hub.

The Alexanders are currently planning ahead for their next season’s food hub offerings — carrots, salad turnips and lettuce mix.

“It simplifies it a little bit for us and that way we can do more of those things that we do really well, in targeted way,” she said.

The Bible - “...I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God” (Acts 8:37). “Now, why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord” (Acts 22:16). Show your faith in Christ - obeying Him, trusting Him to save you. Is this your goal? If not, why?

Set your goal to follow Christ. It is only now - this life time. The Bible identifies many who failed to follow the Lord’s instruction. We must not make that mistake. Noah and the Ark. (Gen. 6-7). The wicked cities of Sodom and Gomiorrah. (Gen. 18).

We have another lovely story about a man who chose not to obey and serve God - but he chose to ignore God and he died. He asked for Abraham’s help, but he was denied. Moses and the prophets were his teachers, but he ignored them. My friends, do not make the same mistake...Read Luke 16:19-31.

What can we learn? Set your goal to obey and serve Christ - Now. You are always welcome to Northside. Read your Bible.

Teachers improve skills with evaluations

BY ELLEN CIURCZAK For The Associated Press

HATTIESBURG — Hawkins Elementary School teacher Tyra Saucier says her third-grade language arts students have improved their test scores, ever since she got better at planning their lessons.

“My plans are more in-depth now,” she said.

“Before, my plans were random. They weren’t so bad, but now my planning is explicit and detailed.”

Saucier got input on her lesson planning after she received an M-STAR teacher evaluation from administrators at her school.

M-STAR stands for Mississippi Statewide Teacher Appraisal Rubric.

The state Department of Education required public schools to begin using it last year so Mississippi could qualify for an exemption to the No Child Left Behind Act. Hawkins Principal Donna Scott said M-STAR is more comprehensive than what Hawkins was using.

“The state had a (prior) evaluation piece, but it was basically a checklist,” she said.

Scott said M-STAR has five domains and each domain encompasses several standards.

“It helps teachers to be more focused and it helps administrators to be more focused,” she said.

The domains are planning, assessment, instruction, learning environment and professional responsibilities.

They measure teachers on such things as actively engaging students in the learning process, managing student behavior, planning lessons that align with the Common Core State Standards and maintaining communication with families.

The state requires administrators to do at least two walk-throughs in a classroom per year, along with one formal observation of at least 30 minutes.

At Hawkins, administrators do at least eight walk-throughs in various classrooms per week.

Tensions with Gamblers ‘know when to walk away’ police see key developments The Associated Press

The killings of two unarmed black men by white police officers in Missouri and New York this summer touched off protests and a national debate over police conduct that intensified after grand juries declined to indict the officers.

Tensions escalated further after two New York City police officers were killed last weekend by a man who suggested in online posts that their deaths were in retaliation for the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City. The gunman committed suicide.

Some key developments in the aftermath:

NYPD recruit graduation Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose relationship with the New York Police Department has been particularly tense in recent weeks, was booed by some in the crowd when he addressed police recruits at a graduation ceremony Monday morning.

The event came two days after hundreds of police officers turned their backs to a video monitor outside a Queens church showing de Blasio speak at Officer Rafael Ramos’ funeral.

The cadets sat at attention Monday when de Blasio spoke but boos and heckles could be heard from some in the crowd where the graduates’ friends and families sat. Most, however, applauded politely when he finished speaking.

Police unions have criticized de Blasio as too sympathetic to police critics who protested over the Garner and Brown cases.

Police Commissioner William Bratton said Sunday it was wrong for the officers to turn their backs to de Blasio.

“I certainly don’t support that action,” Bratton told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” ‘‘That funeral was held to honor Officer Ramos. And to bring politics, to bring issues into that event, I think, was very inappropriate.”

Funeral set for second NYPD officer Viewing and visitation for Wenjian Liu, who was killed along with Ramos, will be held Saturday, with a funeral Sunday morning. The funeral arrangements for Liu took some time because of relatives who had to travel from China.

Liu, 32, was a valuable asset to the NYPD because he was conversant in several Chinese dialects and helped the department with community relations in heavily Chinese neighborhoods, said James Ng, president of the National Asian Peace Officers Association.

Threats to officers A man fired a rifle at two Los Angeles officers in a patrol car Sunday night, but no one was injured.

One man is under arrest and a second suspect is being sought in the shooting in South Los Angeles, a police spokeswoman said.

The two officers were responding to a radio call and driving slowly in the neighborhood around 9:30 p.m. when they saw the muzzle flash of a rifle pointed in their direction, Officer Nuria Venegas said. The officers returned fire, but no one was hit.

In southwestern Pennsylvania, a man has been jailed on charges he posted Facebook comments

encouraging people to kill police the same day a man fatally shot two New York City officers.

Steven Drake Jr., 29, was arrested Wednesday in McDonald. Police there were alerted to the Dec. 20 posts by officers in a nearby community.

Among the comments Drake allegedly posted were: “The police brought this on themselves! I say kill them all! Enough is enough.” The posts also referenced the killings of Brown in Missouri and Garner in New York.

Charity for officers’ families Efforts to support the families of Ramos and Liu have raised $120,000, de Blasio said Monday. The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City has raised the money in pledges through the Fallen Heroes Relief Effort, he said.

In addition, a charity created after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks says it has so far raised $250,000, or about a third of what it needs, to pay off the home mortgages for the families of Ramos and Liu. The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation said Sunday that contributions poured in from as far away as Hawaii, Italy and the United Kingdom.

The Gambler, R, *****, Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Lange, Brie Larson, John Goodman. Director Rupert Wyatt, Paramount Pictures, Length 111 minutes.

“The Gambler” is a remake of the 1974 film starring James Caan. I enjoyed Terry the first “Gambler” Burns and I liked the new “Gambler” starring Movie Critic Mark Wahlberg.

The main character is Jim Bennett (Wahlberg). He is a diehard gambler and a charismatic literature professor. Bennett has a Harvard degree, teaches in a prestigious college, and has a very dangerous tendency for gambling and losing.

Wahlberg plays the character as a cool, captivating and sad individual. He owes a large amount of money to several loan sharks. As we all know, the loan sharks will get their money back one way or the other.

Wahlberg begins to date Amy Phillips (Brie Larson), who just happens to be one of his students, and she works part time in a gambling establishment.

Roberta (Jessica Lange) is Jim’s mother. She is not a pleasant person to be around. They do not have a pleasing relationship. Reluctantly, Roberta decides to help her son pay off his gambling debts.

As all individuals who are hooked on gambling and other

habits, Jim immediately ends up at the casino. He decides to use the money to continue his wicked ways in the hope of making more money. It is apparent he did not take Kenny Rogers’ advice, “know when to walk away.”

Some of the better scenes take place while he is lecturing his students. As a teacher for several years, I enjoyed his interest in trying to help the class learn and do their best instead of just getting by. In other words, take education seriously. Jim has charisma in the classroom, but he can be very embarrassing to the students. An unusual professor, but he does care about students’ learning and being successful. However, we have all witnessed some overbearing situations from some teachers, and it is apparent Jim has some issues.

It is frustrating when students do not listen or try to learn as the teacher attempts to help them to be productive, and always take advantage of learning along with a desire to continue throughout life.

The scenes of college days gave me thoughts and reminiscence from those wonderful times when we were trying to prepare for the work force by getting an education. I worked part time jobs to help with tuition while waiting for a permanent position in the workforce. I worked in order to make money to finish school. I will not forget my parents, relatives, bank presidents, and all the help and support from them.

John Goodman plays a loan shark,, and he always gives a strong and funny characterization that the audience cannot forget.

Loan sharks are a lot like Mafia cronies. Most of them are the individuals who have egos larger than their brain. Some are masochist and others pacifist. We need more pacifists who will use their intelligence, if they have any, to allow people to give their side of the story instead of some cronies who must hide behind closed doors in order to deliver their lies. No backbone, no intelligence, and no interest in listening to the facts -- it is just a selfish way to be sure they get their way. The facts are not their forte. It is simply getting their way so they can stretch their chest. However, the belly is bigger than their chest.

I must confess, I have been to Tunica. I decided to get more money to get back what I had lost along with hopefully winning more.

When the money I cashed at the bank was gone, I left the gambling hall.

Lessons can be learned the hard way.

I recommend “The Gambler” for the acting, the story, the college classroom scenes, and of course, the message it delivers to the audience.

Have a great and terrific New Year, and I will see you at the movies.

Demonstrations around the country Residents rallied over the weekend in Goshen, Indiana, to show their support for law enforcement. Gathering at the Elkhart County Courthouse on Saturday, hundreds carried signs reading “Support Our Police Officers” and “Standing With The Thin Blue Line.”

Senior police chaplain Jim Bontrager told the crowd that officers “see the worst of humanity over and over” but they rarely get a thank-you from the public or the police brass.

A candlelight vigil was held Sunday evening for an Arizona police officer who was killed while responding to a domestic violence call over the weekend. Flagstaff Officer Tyler J. Stewart, 24, died Saturday after being shot multiple times.

A makeshift memorial of flowers, candles and balloons appeared at the city’s Officer Down Memorial Statue. Children used chalk to draw pictures and to write messages of thanks for the officers.

And in Boston, activists are planning to protest recent killings by police at the city’s New Year’s Eve celebration The group “First Night Against Police Violence” plans to hold a “die-in” at 5 p.m. Organizers hope at least 100 people will participate in the demonstration, in which activists lie down in the street pretending to be dead.

Ferguson police spokesman suspended The Ferguson Police Department suspended a spokesman after he referred to a Brown memorial as “a pile of trash.”

A statement the city provided to The Associated Press on Sunday didn’t identify the officer who made the remark to a newspaper. The memorial at the site of Brown’s death was damaged last week after a car apparently hit it.

The city says the spokesman denied making the comment to his supervisors but later admitted that he’d misled his bosses.

Economists predict that consumers are feeling more confident than a month ago.

The Conference Board is expected to report today that its index of consumer confidence jumped to 93 in December from 88.7 a month earlier.

Consumer confidence fell in November following a big gain the previous month, as Americans became less bullish about the economy and jobs.

Economists expect a quick reversal, though, pointing to the sharp drop in gas prices.

Read ple say they feel obligated on: to buy birthday and holiDear Annie: As a day gifts for children they Mailbox Vietnam veteran also rarely see or who are already overindulged. I had that situation with my brother’s family. My sister-in-law goes overboard in the gift-giving department. So my thought was: Why buy another toy that will get lost in the pile?

And since I don’t see them that often, what do I buy?

The solution was to put the money I would have spent into a certificate of deposit, a TAP (college tuition) account or a share of stock. Each time, I send a card letting them know how much has been invested in their name.

My sister-in-law hates this. She’s all about the gift-opening experience. My brother, however, loves it. He’s tired of shoveling a trail through his house. The kids don’t care, but when they are older, they sure will appreciate that deposit for a new car or having part of their college tuition paid or knowing there’s an investment nest egg started for them. -- The Aunt They’ll Appreciate Later Dear Aunt: We’re on your side -- and we suspect these kids will be, too, albeit not for a while.

Good for you for not allowing yourself to be pressured into spending on stuff they

will forget about in a month.

Dear Annie: I liked your reply to “Lost Soldier,” who had trouble reconnecting to the civilian world after serving in the military.

As an ex-Navy Seabee, I understand completely.

What helped me the most was joining some of the local service-connected groups like the American Legion, AMVETS, FRA and, for me particularly, the Seabee Veterans of America.

It was nice to be able to talk to others without having to “translate” and to again have the feeling of being part of a family.

He could also volunteer with one of the groups.

Or, if there is a nearby military display or museum, try there.

I never served aboard a ship, but I now help take care of a WWII museum ship. Any ex-military person is and always will be part of the larger Army/ Navy/Marine/Air Force/ Coast Guard family. -Can Do Dear Can Do: We were heartened by the outpouring of support for “Lost Soldier”

diagnosed with PTSD and having had some of the same difficulties, I have seen therapists for years.

Recently, I had a mental health crisis and went to a local veterans service center. It was one of the best things I have done in the 46 years since I served.

Through individual and group therapy, I have discovered camaraderie and support.

Most notably, I found that I am no different from other group members sharing the same experiences and life challenges.

Generally, combat veterans have a tendency to retreat into ourselves and withdraw from loved ones and society in general.

I highly recommend that all veterans returning from deployment in combat areas, as well as their families, seek out their local veterans center.

I sincerely hope that it will not take 46 years for these outstanding young men and women to get help. -- B.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian What are the Daily Corinthian’s Top Ten Stories of 2014? See Staff Writer/Photographer Jebb Johnston’s story coming Wednesday.

Bilingual grandkids will gain broader mental development D E A R ABBY: “Left Out in Florida” (Sept.

2) feels it is inconsiderate of her daughter-inAbigail law to speak her naVan Buren only tive language (not English) Dear Abby with her children in front of their grandparents.

You advised that the mother should speak English in this situation.

My son attends a bilingual immersion school, and I have experience with this issue. I have attended lectures about raising bilingual children.

It is extremely difficult to pass on a language other than English to kids living in America.

As the children grow, they will be increasingly drawn to English.

The most successful families are those who do exactly what the mom in the letter is doing.

They speak only their native language with their children and are very persistent about it.

This is the recommendation of the experts in the field.

What should also be happening is translation for others when necessary.

Ideally, there is a level of support from family and friends who

understand what a worthwhile, yet difficult, task this is.

Grandparents don’t need to understand everything that is said, and their job is to speak English with the youngsters so they become truly bilingual.

Bilingualism is an incredible gift to give a child.

It goes beyond just learning another language.

It broadens mental development, thought patterns and world perspective. It must be done during childhood while the brain is still pliable, and continue until adulthood or the language will be lost.

These parents obviously understand the value of what they are doing.

I hope the grandparents will support it. -- BILINGUAL MOM IN OREGON DEAR BILINGUAL MOM: Thank you for lending your insight.

I heard from others who, like you, have firsthand knowledge on this issue: DEAR ABBY: My son also married a woman from another country.

She has spoken only her native tongue to my granddaughter from day one. My son speaks English to his daughter. My daughter-in-law speaks English to me.

I care for the little girl three days a week. She’s 4 and completely bilingual. I thank my lucky

stars that she has this opportunity. And I’m glad for her other grandparents, who do not live in this country or speak English, but can communicate with her. I don’t worry that they’re secretly talking about me. “Left Out” should be grateful her grandkids have this huge advantage. -JEAN IN MILLERSVILLE, MD. DEAR ABBY: I wish you had suggested to “Left Out” that she and her husband try to learn the language of their grandchildren.

It’s not difficult to learn a few foreign conversational phrases, or even be able to carry on a coherent conversation using free or inexpensive tools available at the library or online.

Of course, in order to do that, they have to want to reach out and make the effort.

Perhaps if they did, the daughter-in-law might feel a little more welcoming and less distant.

Ever since my grandkids started attending a bilingual school, I have been studying to try to keep up with them, and so have the other grandparents.

Communication is a two-way street! -- JUDI IN ELGIN, S.C. 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).

You’ll be presenting yourself to those who are distracted. Don’t put up with it. Turn and walk. If that doesn’t get their attention, do something that will. You deserve an undivided focus.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You will confidently accept the love that comes. While others may be embarrassed by attention, you take it in stride, not letting it inflate or deflate you. You remain solidly yourself whatever comes at you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Buttering someone up to get what you want isn’t necessarily an evil manipulation. Sweetness, kindness, flattery and smooth handling may simply be what’s required to make things fit together.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Because you can be so sensitive, you sometimes take another person’s neutrality toward you as a negative. It’s not. Be glad for neutrality. When people like or dislike you, that comes with a set of expectations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The strong can master others. The powerful can master themselves. Strive for the latter. Any work you do to increase your discipline will greatly improve a relationship that’s gotten out of hand.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your soul is joyful, and therefore the world is interesting to you. Those who are not in such positive spirits will find it difficult to light upon points of interest.

Would you be so kind as to guide them?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you can’t do what you want to do, maybe you should just do what you (SET ITAL) can (END ITAL) do. This is a day of hope, optimism and ideas. With the right attitude, you’ll be unstoppable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The situation may seem false to you, but that does not make it invalid. The world is largely run by false situations today. Your job is to find the true parts and put enough of them together to

make it work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some don’t believe in guilty pleasure, stating that if it’s good for you, it’s good. Be careful not to judge your pleasures against what you think others find enjoyable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mind is a theater now, and you’ll create quite a play there. Though this may seem more fanciful than could apply to real life, rest assured it really does!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is something you would like to confide in a wise person, but you’re not sure you know one you can trust. Reach outside your circle to a stranger who has nothing to gain or lose by advising you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Align yourself with people who are willing to work. Here’s the beautiful part: Those who are unwilling to work will change their minds once they are in the minority. They will follow the crowd and like it.

Kids News Confetti Match

Each piece of confetti below will make a perfect square when matched to the right piece. Draw a line between the pieces that match.

On New Year’s Day, people around the globe will be celebrating another new year. January 1 is the first day of the year on the Julian Calendar. People welcome in the New Year with friends and family by following traditions and making resolutions to improve their health and lifestyles. New Year’s Day has many traditions among different people. Some Americans believe that it brings good luck to eat black-eyed peas. Other cultures believe that rice or cabbage bring the same good fortune for another year. In the Netherlands, donuts are eaten. New Year’s Day celebrations are not just a modern tradition; they date back to the Babylonian Time of 2000 B.C. In Ancient Babylon, the beginning of the New Year was considered to occur in early Spring. New Year’s resolutions were first made by the Ancient Babylonians; the most common one was to give back a neighbor’s farm equipment that had been borrowed. The Romans also celebrated New Year’s Day in much the same way as we do today. January 1 was declared the first day of the year during the time of Ancient Rome. Today, New Year’s Day is celebrated with many famous events. The first Tournament of Roses Parade occurred in California in 1886 to celebrate the orange crops. The Rose Bowl was added to this tradition in 1902 and is still a popular New Year’s celebration. The famous Waterford Crystal Ball “drop” in New York’s Times Square is televised each year on New Year’s Eve and is watched by people around the world. A smaller, but similar, festivity is the Peach Drop in Atlanta, Georgia.

Host clubs roll in 8th annual classic

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — The host clubs took care of business in their own event. Both Alcorn Central clubs rolled in the opening night of action at the two-day, 32-team event, winning by a combined 55 points at the 8th Annual Peggy Bain Holiday Hoops Tournament.

Clemson routs Oklahoma in Russell Athletic Bowl Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Cole Stoudt threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, and 18th-ranked Clemson routed Oklahoma 40-6 in the Russell Athletic Bowl on Monday. The Tigers (10-3) reached double-digit victories for the fourth consecutive season.

Clemson was 10-4 in 2011, 11-2 in 2012 and 11-2 in 2013.

Stoudt was 26 for 36 for a seasonhigh 319 yards. He was sacked four times, but Clemson never turned the ball over.

Meanwhile, the Tigers, who came in ranked No. 1 in the nation in total defense, held the Sooners’ offense to just 275 yards.

Oklahoma (8-5) had five turnovers, including three interceptions by Trevor Knight. The Sooners entered the game averaging nearly 40 points but didn’t score until late in the fourth quarter.

GLEN — The Corinth Warriors traded turnovers for missed shots in the second half.

Cordova, Tennessee, used a 7-0 run in a 22-point third quarter and never looked back again in downing Corinth 6354 in the final game Monday at the Peggy Bain Holiday Hoops Tournament.

Corinth served as the home team, but it was the Wolves left wearing Alcorn Central’s dark uniforms after showing up in their home white.

The loss was the second for Corinth against a Tennessee foe and the second time its lost to Cordova in the tournament’s eighth year.

Corinth (10-3) closed the second quarter on a 14-6 run to lead 25-22 at the break.

CHS had 15 turnovers in the opening half, including nine in the first as the Wolves

opened up an 11-6 lead.

Kendall Stafford, who tallied 16 points, gave Corinth a 27-22 lead early in the third.

The Wolves, who saw all 10 players that played score, reeled off seven straight points and led for the remainder of the game.

The Warriors committed just six turnovers over the final 16 minutes, but couldn’t buy a bucket. CHS was 8-for31 in the final half.

Allen leads Texas A&M to Liberty Bowl win The Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Kyle Allen threw four touchdown passes and ran for a fifth score Monday, and Texas A&M erased an early 10-point deficit to defeat West Virginia 45-37 in the Liberty Bowl Allen went 22 of 35 for 294 yards, and Malcome Kennedy caught two of the scores. Allen’s 14-yard rushing TD in the final minute of the first half put Texas A&M (8-5)

ahead for good.

Allen, a true freshman making his fifth career start, also threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown. Tra Carson rushed for a career-high 133 yards on 25 carries, and Trey Williams scored two touchdowns.

Texas A&M has won bowl games in four straight seasons for the first time in school history. The Aggies won the Chick-fil-A Bowl last year, the

Cotton Bowl two seasons ago and the Texas Bowl in 2011.

West Virginia’s Skyler Howard went 20 of 45 for 346 yards and three touchdowns while making his second career start in place of Clint Trickett, who announced Friday he was giving up football because of multiple concussions. Kevin White had seven catches for 129 yards and a touchdown for West Virginia (7-6). The game lived up to its

billing as a shootout between two fast-paced offenses that had scored over 30 points per game while allowing more than 25 this season.

This wound up as the second-highest scoring day in the Liberty Bowl’s 56-game history, trailing only Louisville’s 44-40 victory over Boise State in 2004. The first quarter alone featured 34 combined points, with West Virginia leading 20-14.

Lions DT Suh suspended for playoff game

BY BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has been suspended for this Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild-card playoff game against Dallas for a violation of safety-related playing rules against Green Bay in the season finale.

The league announced Monday that Suh was suspended for stepping on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; left leg twice, once with each foot.

Suh also applied pressure and pushed off Rodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unprotected leg with his left foot, violating unnecessary roughness rules, the league said in a statement.

Suh, who will be reinstated next Monday, can appeal the suspension within three days. He can ask for an expedited appeal, which would be

heard by Ted Cottrell, a hearing officer employed by the NFL and the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union. No hearing is scheduled, but one could happen as soon as Tuesday.

Rodgers had an agitated look after the incident, and coach Mike McCarthy said after the game: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no place for that. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it, frankly.â&#x20AC;?

On Monday, McCarthy backed off a bit, saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping this wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go this way.

That was a hell of a football game played yesterday, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I really came here to talk about.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not here to talk about behavior (of) players on other teams.â&#x20AC;?

Suh did not speak with reporters at the Lions practice facility.

Lions center Dominic Raiola, coming off his own one-game ban for a simi-

lar incident, was enraged by the suspension. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play ... he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even looking at (Rodgers).â&#x20AC;? Raiola said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was getting pushed back a little bit. It was ridiculous what Fox did right after it. It was crazy, watching it. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even listen to those guys after he did it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no way, at that point in the game, that he did something like that on purpose. No way.â&#x20AC;?

Suh is a repeat offender with a long list of fines and one previous suspension, for two games in 2011 for stepping on the right arm of Packers lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith. Suh has been fined seven times in his career, but this is the first in 2014.

Suh was fined $100,000 for an illegal block on Vikings center John Sullivan in Week 1 of 2013 during an interception return.

That was the largest fine in NFL history for on-field conduct, not counting suspensions.

The suspension was imposed by Merton Hanks, the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president of football operations. Hanks ruled that Suh engaged in a non-football act which placed his opponent at unnecessary risk of injury.

In his letter to Suh, Hanks wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You did not respond in the manner of someone who had lost his balance and accidentally contacted another player who was lying on the ground. This illegal contact, specifically the second step and push off with your left foot, clearly could have been avoided.â&#x20AC;?

Hanks further noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;you unnecessarily stepped on your opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unprotected leg as he lay on the ground unable to protect himself.â&#x20AC;?
