Liquor ordinance work begins

2012 Christmas Basket Fund

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

As they began work Monday on a liquor ordinance, Corinth aldermen agreed to include both package stores and bythe-drink sales in restaurants.

The board agreed to move forward with a second draft

“A Community Tradition”

of the ordinance that also sets hours of sale for 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday in package stores. Restaurant by-the-drink hours are proposed to be 10 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. The motion by Ward 1

Alderman Andrew Labas to include these points in a second draft was approved 4-1 with Alderman at Large Mike Hopkins voting “no” and with one alderman absent.

Labas made a prior motion to adopt the ordinance with those stipulations, but some

Bomb threat empties building

The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Crossroads area as donations continue to arrive daily for the 17th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian 2012 Christmas Basket Fund.

The civic club and newspaper have set a $20,000 community fundraising goal this year so 1,000 food baskets could be given away to local families last Saturday at the Crossroads Arena. The event was a huge success this year with plenty of need.

The total now stands at $13,130, meaning just $6,870 needs to be raised from the community as there will be no corporate match this year. Food was distributed on faith the goal will be reached by Christmas Day. Recent donations include $50 from Sammy and Mary Rowsey; $100 from Mickey Davis and Scott, Stefanie, Sarah and Syndney McClain in loving memory of Bobby Dean Davis; $50 from Elbert and Connie Holland in memory of John Albright; $100 from Lanny and Barbara Horn; $500 from the United Methodist Women of First United Methodist Church; $100 from The Grays in honor of Monk and Eva (Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Stewart); and $1,000 anonymous gift in honor of Bill Peters.

Christmas wreaths honor those who gave all

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

On Saturday the community came together with a number of veterans groups to honor those who served America’s armed forces.

The local observance of Wreaths Across America — an annual event to remember fallen heroes, honor those who serve and teach children about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families — was held at Corinth National Cemetery.

Chris Grimes, sergeant at arms for American Legion Post 6 and chaplain for the Legion Riders, spoke about the purpose of Wreaths Across America.

“Men and women gave their lives so we can live in freedom and without fear,” he said. “We’re here to thank those who gave their lives to keep us free. We shall not forget you.”

During the ceremony, representatives from each branch of the armed forces placed a wreath at the foot of the cemetery’s flag. Dozens of other wreaths that had been ordered in the weeks leading up to the ceremony were placed at individual graves throughout the cemetery.

In closing, Grimes told listeners to take a moment to visit a grave in the cemetery, write down the information on the headstone and research that soldier.

“You’ll find he was a real American with a family,” said Grimes. “And more than just a statistic.”

Raymond Miller, director of Corinth, Little Rock and Memphis National Cemeteries, attended the wreath laying ceremony. Miller said one of the most important things about the event was how the local community had turned out to honor America’s

Supervisors accept farmer’s market shed bid

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County supervisors on Monday accepted a quote for construction of a vegetable shed at the Fulton Drive farmers market location.

Byrd Contractors, Inc., submitted the low quote of $21,424 for a 40-by-100-foot pole barn.

The contract calls for construction of the building within 30 calendar days.

It will be located on city property.

One of the sellers at that location expressed concern to the board about several sellers from Tennessee setting up at the market. He said Tennessee counties should put money into the project if their residents are allowed to sell.

“They have more markets up there than we do,” he said.

Board President Lowell Hin-

ton said it will be up to the vegetable growers association to set rules for use of the shed.

The farmers market location will continue to share the property with the recycling bin.

Intended to provide shelter for growers and customers on hot summer days, the structure’s open-air design will allow water to flow through in the event of flooding. This type of design was required because of

the property’s flood status.

Others submitting quotes on the project were Byrd Builders LLC, $32,000, and Eric Maloney Construction, Inc., $22,020.

In other business: ■ Tax Collector Larry Ross had a discussion with the board about compensation for his office’s work on providing daily server backups for the county.

Supervisors approved a $6,000

addition to the office’s budget.

■ The board was notified of a pending appointment to the workforce investment board; Greg Cooley currently holds the seat.

■ EMA Director Ricky Gibens notified the board that the annual cost of the Code Red alert system will be $16,000 in the first year and $12,000 in the second. The cost will be divided among participating agencies.

Corinth Headstart volunteer The Corinth Headstart, located at 2305 Bell School, was recently the recipient of a donation by Greg Wilson. He donated a much needed sign for the center and volunteers many hours, always ready to do repairs, go on field trips or just be the center’s “Handy Man.” He and his wife, Amy, have three children. To become a volunteer at the center, call 286-5802.

Chairman Terry Smith, who asked the board to limit sales to by the drink only and to remember the last two county referendums in which the drys prevailed.

“I ask you as representatives not only of the City of Corinth but also as our county seat to take into consideration the entirety of the county and their feelings about this,” he said.

Smith, a county resident, also asked the board to leave out nightclubs such as those the city had in the 1980s and to block sales on Sunday.

City Attorney Wendell Trapp explained that the board has limited discretion in setting up liquor regulations. The state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control has comprehensive rules, leaving the city few decisions to make beyond whether to include package stores and whether to set hours of sale different than those

Officers from the Booneville Police Department and the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department gather on the lawn of the Prentiss County Courthouse Monday to coordinate their search of the building and grounds after a bomb threat was called in to the Circuit Clerk’s office.

THREAT specified by the ABC. The city has more leeway when dealing with beer than with liquor.

He noted that the ABC’s definition of a restaurant has recently become very specific and requires 25 percent food sales.

Restricting liquor stores to special zones is not allowed, but the ABC restricts the proximity of establishments to churches, schools and the like. A limitation cannot be placed on the number of package stores.

“Some cities have virtually no liquor ordinance” because it is largely controlled by the ABC, said Trapp.

Several residents spoke in favor of having both package stores and by-the-drink sales in restaurants. Among them was Thomas Holland, who said the people have spoken and the city should act accordingly.

“We can’t legislate Christianity to grown

people,” he said. “It’s called responsibility — individual responsibility.”

Another who wants package stores included said there are many people who do not go to bars and instead consume their alcohol at home.

Several residents, including Pat Lewis, said the city should not make itself be pointed to as different when it comes to liquor regulations.

“Development starts right here,” he said. “I don’t think we need to short-sight ourselves.”

Trapp said the effective date for legal sales will likely be 30 days after legal publication of the ordinance in the Daily Corinthian.

The city will receive half of permit fees from establishments selling alcoholic beverages.

Seventy percent of Corinth voters endorsed liquor sales in last week’s special election with a turnout larger than the 2010 mayoral election.

against other courthouses throughout Mississippi.

The threatening call came into the Prentiss County Circuit Clerk’s office around 9:30 a.m. and all personnel were immediately ordered to evacuate the building and the streets surrounding courtsquare were shut down.

Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said officers and investigators from his department and the Booneville Police Department conducted a thorough search of the courthouse and the building was reopened to the public just after 10:30 a.m.

No evidence of any explosive device was found.

Tolar said it’s too soon to say if the threat is connected to threats made against other courthouses in the state. While it could

Civilian Air Patrol and everyone else involved.

es in Lee and Itawamba county.

Flynn said authorities have not determined if Monday’s threats are connected to the threats made last week.

The Prentiss County Courthouse was outfitted earlier this year with a video surveillance system provided through funds allocated to the First District Drug Court for security at sites where the drug court operates.

Tolar said investigators will be reviewing footage from that system for any evidence of suspicious activity prior to the threat being called in.

They will also be obtaining telephone records for the line on which the call was made in order to conduct a trace of the call and determine where it may have originated.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Sandy Hook Elementary School.

“We plan to have a registry book for people to sign, and if they want to bring cards I’ll gather them up, collect them, and we’ll send them to the school after the holidays,” said Holland. “If anybody wants to drop off cards af-

ter the service that’s fine, because we won’t mail them until after the holidays.”

The brief memorial will include a selection of inspirational songs, Holland said, and will close with a bagpipe rendition of “Amazing Grace.”

Holland said he remembers the school shooting in Mississippi and “hopes and prays nothing like that ever happens around here.”

be the same perpetrator, he said Monday’s threat could also be the work of a copycat. No bombs were found in any of those cases and they remain under investigation by the FBI. The Gartin Justice Building in Jackson, home to the Mississippi Court of Appeals, was also evacuated Monday following a bomb threat.

No bomb was found.

Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesperson Greg Flynn said courthouses in Hinds, Jackson, Monroe, Lowndes and Monroe counties and the municipal courtroom in Pearl were also hit with bomb threats on Monday.

State and local authorities are continuing to investigate those threats as well as bomb threats called into 29 courthouses in the state last Wednesday including courthous-

of Christ. Organizer Ricky Holland said he has also contacted school officials to invited them to participate in the service.

Second in state The Mississippi State Fair hosted the State FFA Livestock Judging Contest in October. FFA members from across the state placed classes of beef, sheep, swine and goats, presented oral reasons on those livestock classes, and completed a written test in hopes of earning a state championship and the opportunity to represent Mississippi at the FFA National Livestock Judging Contest in Louisville, Ky., during National FFA Convention. The Kossuth FFA livestock judging team placed second behind the state champion team of Newton County FFA. Individually, John Andrews was the state champion individual overall. Additional team members contributing to the second-place finish were A.J. Carter, Ty Dickson and D.K. Mitchell. It was just two years ago that Kossuth FFA won the State Livestock Judging Championship. The current team improved on their eighth-place finish last year and hopes to move up one spot next year to claim the state championship title and to compete at nationals. Team members are (from left) Carter, Dickson, Andrews and Mitchell.

Children need guidance to process tragic news

BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU

STARKVILLE — As news shows bombard the public with reports of senseless violence, young eyes are also watching as adults struggle to handle the information.

News of the mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut will receive tremendous coverage throughout the holiday season. Families may need help as the entire country recovers from the tragedy.

Cassandra Kirkland, a family life specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said violence at the level of the Dec. 14 school shooting is so rare that very few people will know how to handle it.

“Even adults may need help processing the situation. This sort of incident is scary for children and their parents,” she said. “Family discus-

sions can help everyone work through their emotions.”

Tragic events can happen to families in any community. In many cases, Kirkland said professional counselors may be necessary for a healthy recovery.

“School counselors, pastors or family counselors can help people process their feelings,” she said.

Louise Davis, child and family development specialist with the MSU Extension Service, said parents should be available for their children and try to answer questions honestly but carefully.

“Don’t volunteer too much information.

Avoid saturating their environment with media coverage of the tragedy or with conversations among adults. Don’t let them become overwhelmed with the news,” she said. “Take cues from the child. Some-

times they will ask the same questions over and over, so just keep your explanations simple.”

Davis said parents can encourage young children to draw pictures about their feelings.

They may just need to be held and comforted.

Reassure your child by increasing physical contact and making plans for doing some activities together.

“All children are different and process information and events differently,” she said.

“Grieving is a process that is not predictable, and there is no right or wrong way. It also doesn’t have a timetable of when it is over.”

Davis said parents should encourage children to ask questions about loss and death.

“Try to not be anxious about having all the answers. Being willing to listen and help find answers is just as important,” she said.

Letters to the editor

You don’t vote on sin To the editor: It is an abomination to God when men take it upon themselves to hold a vote on sin, especially when they are sneaky about it. But these people just started sorrow and heartaches for themselves and others and now what?

Jesus (God) said, “Let no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4.

They knew if they let the county vote, also, it would be a landslide the other way because there are more churches in the county. Read Luke 21: 34, 35, 36.

I read the newspaper. Those who campaigned for liquor made real good speeches.

You who voted read Romans 1-18 and Romans 16: 17, 18.

For the ones who say, “Jesus drunk wine,” prove that it was alcoholic when it says it was the “fruit of the vine.” When I was little, I drank muscadine wine. There wasn’t alcohol in it.

Here’s something to think on. Jesus was God. God is a Spirit. Philip said, “show us the ‘Father’’ and Jesus told him, “When you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father.” John 14:7, 8, 9.

If God drinks alcohol, we’re in trouble.

You don’t vote on sin.

Rev. Donus Rorie

‘The Hobbit’ — an animal’s horror story?

To the editor: Four livestock wranglers have come forward claiming 27 animals, including sheep, goats, chickens and a miniature horse named “Rainbow,” died during the production of the move, “The Hobbit.”

The on-set handlers say the New Zealand farm that housed the critters was a “death trap” with its bluffs, sink holes and broken fences. The director of the movie acknowledged some of the deaths.

Would you take your children to see this movie, knowing that 27 animals died during this movie? I hope not. This is horrible.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) had a protest at the movie’s premiere Nov. 28.

Prayer for today Lord, we cannot dwell in both light and darkness. Each day we have a choice. Help us choose light, and when we fail in faithful decision-making, have mercy on us. Amen.

Presence of Russian guest made holidays brighter STARKVILLE — The Christmas season at the Salter household was made brighter this year by the presence of a nontraditional guest — a young political party official from Russia named Marina Savlova.

Savlova, 24, is a press and public relations director for the ruling United Russia political party executive committee in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Nizhny Novgorod is the fifth largest city in Russia with a population of 1.2 million and is the city formerly known as Gorky.

At first blush, Marina speaks in the measured, deliberate tones of one schooled in making guarded comments to the media. She earned a master’s degree from Dobrolyubov Nizhny Novgorod State University and is conversational in English and German.

While Marina’s credentials are impressive for a 24-year-old, she is also like her American counterparts in that age bracket in so many familiar ways. Our houseguest, like our own grown children, has an in-

separable connection to her cell phone and ear buds, loved music, liked to shop for jeans and shoes, and loved chocolate candy

and root beer.

We laughed as she apologized for the number of times her parents called to check on her and we listened as she patiently answered our questions about her life in Russia. Our daughter, Kate, remarked how incredibly similar Marina’s life is to her own and likewise her tastes, her hopes and her comforts.

Breakfast was an adventure at times. Marina tried Leilani’s famous biscuits and pronounced them “very good.” On the third morning, we introduced her to grits. She chewed slowly, swallowed hard, and when I asked how she liked them: “They are, uh, okay.” I took that to be Russian for a polite “yuk!”

But she was a trooper.

And when the time came to put her on the plane bound for home, there was some sadness. We had become accustomed to her company and her enthusiasm for America, for our freedoms, and for her bright and impressive mind.

Savlova’s trip to Starkville, and that of her four Russian colleagues, was part of an Open World exchange program to expose young Russian leaders to U.S. systems of participatory democracy and free enterprise. Administered by the Washington, D.C.-based Open World Leadership Center, the Open World program works to educate young political leaders from Eurasia and the Baltic States on democratic processes of local government organization, good governance and accountability.

The MSU Department of Political Science and Public Administration, and the International Institute at MSU are hosting the delegation. During their stay in Mississippi, the Rus-

sian delegation lived with five Starkville families as a means of assimilating into American culture. We were lucky enough to be one of those families.

While in Mississippi, the Russians traveled to Memphis to the National Civil Rights Museum, to Indianola to the B.B. King Museum, to Jackson to the state Capitol and a meeting with state government officials, to the Tenn-Tom Waterway and to a number of resources in Starkville and at MSU. But our best times as a temporary “family” was at the breakfast table — drinking coffee and answering questions — as Leilani and I have done with our own children and grandchildren.

Those conversations made the world seem smaller and left me with memories of my own travels in Russia — a country so very different than the Cold War myths I learned as a boy.

Fiscal cliff problems don’t faze Obama

BY MICHAEL BARONE Is Barack Obama bluffing when he threatens to go over the fiscal cliff if Republicans refuse to agree to higher tax rates on high earners?

Some analysts think so.

Keith Hennessey, a former top staffer for the Bush White House and Senate Republicans and a veteran of budget negotiations, argues that Obama’s whole second term would be blighted if he allows the fiscal cliff tax increases and sequestration budget cuts to take place next month.

His argument is based on three assumptions. One is that going over the fiscal cliff would trigger a sharp recession and a weak economy thereafter. Many economists agree. Some disagree. I leave that argument to them.

Hennessey’s second assumption is that Obama has other second term policy goals -- immigration reform, cap-and-trade legislation, tax reform -- that would be difficult to achieve if he breaks sharply with Republicans.

Third, he assumes that Obama, like previous presidents, wants vibrant economic growth and chooses policies that he thinks will stimulate it.

I wonder whether these second two assumptions are true. On policy, it seems clear that Obama wants to preserve Obamacare and to continue something like

the high levels of domestic spending of his first term — 24 to 25 percent of gross domestic product.

But it’s not clear he really wants comprehensive immigration reform. As a senator, he voted for immigration amendments that Edward Kennedy opposed as poison pills, fracturing the bipartisan coalition needed for passage.

As president, he failed to press for immigration legislation when Democrats had supermajorities. It was a useful issue in the 2012 campaign, but that is over.

Cap-and-trade legislation is a nonstarter so long as Republicans retain a majority in the House and unlikely even if Democrats gain one in 2014. Too many Democrats in marginal districts would look back at the Democrats whose 2009 votes for cap-and-trade helped defeat them in 2010.

Nor does Obama seem much interested in a 1986-style tax reform that lowers rates and reduces tax deductions. He’d rather raise rates on high earners, as would happen if we go over the fiscal cliff.

But doesn’t this president, like his predecessors, want bounteous economic growth?

Maybe not. First-term presidents want strong economic growth because they think they need it to be reelected. But Obama has al-

ready been re-elected without it.

And economic growth produces things Obama doesn’t like. Some people — and not necessarily those with government subsidies — get very rich. Obama prefers a more equal income distribution. The Depression of the 1930s did a great job of increasing economic equality.

Obama seeks to direct the economy in certain politically correct channels. He delights in subsidizing “green jobs” making solar panels or electric cars. Not coincidentally, losers like Solyndra and Fisker had backing from Obama political insiders.

The oil and natural gas boom ignited by hydraulic fracturing — fracking — on private lands does not delight him so much. He sought credit for it on the campaign trail. But his regulators are itching to stamp it out.

One of the problems of prosperity, from this perspective, is that you can’t predict what will happen next. People operating in free markets produce innovations that no one else anticipates.

Sluggish growth and recession, in contrast, make things more predictable.

Constituencies that enjoy political favor — UAW members at General Motors or Chrysler, for example — can be subsidized to remain in place.

The cost of such subsidies can be extracted from disfavored constituencies. This is called, in Obama’s words to Joe the Plumber, “spreading the wealth around.”

Remember when ABC’s Charlie Gibson asked candidate Obama if he would raise capital gains tax rates even if it brought less revenue to the government. Yes, Obama said. “I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.”

In contrast, it was after Bill Clinton agreed to cut the capital gains rate in 1997 that large enough gushers of revenue poured in to balance the federal budget.

Obama seeks to advance what Alexis de Tocqueville in “Democracy in America” called “soft despotism,” with “a network of small, complicated, painstaking rules” -- think Obamacare -- to “finally reduce ... each nation to being nothing more than a herd of timid and industrious animals of which government is the shepherd.”

Or so it seems to me. If so, why not risk a recession? It would keep the herd in need of shepherding.

State Briefs Schools eye security after tragic shooting JACKSON (AP) — School district officials across Mississippi say they’re evaluating security policies in the wake of a deadly shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut.

That includes the central Mississippi city of Pearl, where a student went on a deadly school shooting rampage in 1997.

Pearl authorities say there will be an increase in police presence.

Similar measures were being taken across the United States after a man killed 26 people, mostly young children, on Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

In south Mississippi, Harrison County Superintendent Henry Arledge said he hopes to get more school resource officers. The district currently has 15 officers, but 21 schools.

MEMA sees another round of bomb threats JACKSON (AP) — The Gartin Justice Building, which houses the Mississippi appellate courts, was briefly evacuated after a bomb was called in Monday.

Beverly Pettigrew Kraft, a spokeswoman for the courts, says the clerk’s office received a call about 9:12 a.m. and the building was evacuated.

People were allowed back in the building about 10:50 a.m. No bomb was found.

The building houses the Mississippi Supreme Court, the state Court of Appeals and their support staffs. It is located

across from the state Capitol near downtown Jackson.

Bomb threats were called into at least six other courthouses around Mississippi, according to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.

MEMA spokesman Greg Flynn said bomb threats Monday also were called into country courthouses in Hinds, Jackson, Monroe, Lowndes and Warren counties and to the municipal courtroom inside the Pearl Police Department.

Flynn says authorities have not determined if the bomb threats are of a similar nature or style as automated-sounding bomb threats called into 29 Mississippi courthouses last Wednesday.

State and local authorities are investigating.

Presley to retire as CCC president CLARKSDALE (AP) — Dr. Vivian Mathews Presley, president of Coahoma Community College for more than two decades, and the first woman to head a community or junior college in the state of Mississippi, will retire June 30.

Johnny McGlown, chairman of the board of trustees, says a search committee has been organized to name her successor. He says the application deadline is Feb. 22.

Presley was named president of Coahoma and superintendent of Coahoma Agricultural High School in Jan. 6, 1992. She had worked as a counselor, vice president for institutional advancement and executive vice president at the

school.

The college has experienced a 200 percent increase in enrollment since the fall of 1992 and more than $26 million in facility renovations and new construction.

The administration building is named in her honor.

Electoral College voters cast ballots JACKSON (AP) — Mississippi’s six members of the Electoral College met Monday and all voted for Republican Mitt Romney, who carried the state in the presidential race.

Electors met around the country in a process that formalizes Democrat Barack Obama’s re-election as president.

About two dozen people watched the brief process in a small room at the Mississippi Capitol.

The six electors were chosen at the state Republican convention in Jackson. They are all white men who live in the Jackson area, including Austin Barbour, who was deputy chief strategist for the Romney campaign.

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant attended as an observer and joked that Billy Mounger, an 86-yearold elector, probably wished to vote for Calvin Coolidge.

“I’d like to have Coolidge back,” said Mounger, a wealthy Jackson businessman who’s a former finance chairman of the state Republican Party.

A longtime member of the state Democratic executive committee, two members of the Green Party and a member of the Libertarian Party attended, at the invitation of the Republican secre-

tary of state.

Jan Hillegas of Jackson, the Green Party state chairwoman, said the Electoral College is inherently unfair because it ignores the views of smaller parties. And, Hillegas said: “Clearly, the six white men who were voting today did not reflect the state of Mississippi.”

Mississippi’s population is about 38 percent black and more than 50 percent female.

Pascagoula port to get $1.8 million PASCAGOULA (AP) — The Jackson County Port Authority has set aside $1.8 million for surfacing and drainage improve-

ments at the Port of Pascagoula.

The Sun Herald reports that the authority is awarding the money to Talley Contracting under a contract for improvements to the port’s south terminal.

The project calls for expanding the port’s storage and cargo space and providing better drainage.

The state transportation department and the port are splitting the cost of the project, which is expected to take about 120 days to complete.

Community center may become church COLUMBUS (AP) — A former Columbus community center may get a new

life as a worship center.

The Columbus Planning Commission voted last week to recommend that the City Council approve a zoning change for the I. C. Cousins Center.

The center, which is zoned R-1, or singlefamily residential, would be granted permitted-use status as a church.

The Commercial Dispatch reports the council will vote on the recommendation Dec.18.

The property would become a United Faith Interdenominational Ministries church if the council approves the zoning change and sale of the site is completed.

Wiegel said the property will be sold for $22,500.

Neighbor took survivors into his home

BY PAT EATON-ROBB Associated Press

NEWTOWN, Conn.

— Gene Rosen had just finished feeding his cats and was heading from his home near Sandy Hook Elementary school to a diner Friday morning when he saw six small children sitting in a neat semicircle at the end of his driveway.

A school bus driver was standing over them, telling them things would be all right. It was about 9:30 a.m., and the children, he discovered, had just run from the school to escape a gunman.

“We can’t go back to school,” one little boy told Rosen. “Our teacher is dead. Mrs. Soto; we don’t

have a teacher.”

Rosen, a 69-year-old retired psychologist, took the four girls and two boys into his home, and over the next few hours gave them toys, listened to their stories and called their frantic parents.

Rosen said he had heard the staccato sound of gunfire about 15 minutes earlier but dismissed it as an obnoxious hunter in the nearby woods.

“I had no idea what had happened,” Rosen said. “I couldn’t take that in.”

He walked the children past his small goldfish pond with its running waterfall, and the garden he made with his two grandchildren, into the small

Now – Today

There is no more dangerous word in human speech then this one, “Tomorrow”. The tragedy of it is that its real danger lies hidden and unrealized. It has robbed multitudes of success. It has slammed the gate of heaven in the face of millions. “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” – Proverbs 27:1. Tomorrow robs us of our desire to face our duty today - having our conscience seared with rejection denial - refusal.

Felix the governor sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. He heard a soul-stirring sermon on righteousness when he was unrighteous, on temperance when he was intemperate, and on the judgement to come even though he sat in judgement on others. He trembled. But he refused to receive and obey the message. He waited for the convenient season of tomorrow which did not come. He often called for Paul, but the preaching never again had the same effect. – Acts 24:24-27.

Boasting of tomorrow is the lazy man’s way of evading today’s duties. Tomorrow leaves more tasks undone, more books unread, more opportunities rejected than any other factor in life. more lost people have gone unsaved because of tomorrow than any other reason. Felix was not ignorant of his duty to obey Christ. He was waiting for that which never came, a suitable time to obey.

Life is very precious. It is the time we have to prepare to meet God. There are some eighteen or more metaphors in the Bible which express the brevity and uncertainty of life, such as: “the shadow that floweth in the,” “A flower that is cut down,” “The Weaver’s shuttle,” “Water spilt on the ground,” “A vapor.”

Many are waiting until tomorrow to do what should be done today: to obey the gospel, to be restored, to live the Christian life or return to worship with the saints. Think about it.

He was going to be all that a mortal should be.

Tomorrow.

No one would be better than he.

Tomorrow Each morning he stacked up the letters he’d write.

Tomorrow.

It was too bad indeed that he was too busy to see Bill, but he promised to do it.

Tomorrow.

The greatest of workers this man would have been Tomorrow.

The world would have known him had he ever seen Tomorrow.

But the fact is he died and faded from view, an all that was left when living was through, Was a mountain of things he intended to do Tomorrow.

yellow house he shares with his wife.

He ran upstairs and grabbed an armful of stuffed animals. He gave those to the children, along with some fruit juice, and sat with them as the two boys described seeing their teacher being shot.

“They said he had a big gun and a little gun,” said Rosen, who didn’t want to discuss other details the children shared.

Rosen called the children’s parents, using cellphone numbers obtained from the school bus company, and they came and retrieved their children.

2 funerals begin a sad procession in Connecticut

BY ALLEN G. BREED AND HELEN O’NEILL Associated Press

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Opening a long and almost unbearable procession of grief, Newtown began laying its dead to rest Monday, holding funerals for two 6-year-old boys — one a football fan who was buried in a New York Giants jersey and one whose twin sister survived the school shooting rampage.

Two funeral homes filled with mourners for Noah Pozner and Jack Pinto, the first of the 20 children killed in last week’s massacre to receive funerals. The gunman also killed six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary, and his mother in her home, before committing suicide.

A rabbi presided at Noah’s service, and in keeping with Jewish tradition, the boy was laid to rest in a simple brown wooden casket with a Star of David on it.

“If Noah had not been taken from us, he would have become a great man. He would been a wonderful husband and a loving father,” Noah’s uncle, Alexis Haller, told mourners, according to remarks he provided to The Associated Press.

Both services were closed to the news media.

Noah’s twin, Arielle, who was assigned to a different classroom, survived the killing frenzy by

“I feel like we have to get back to normal, but I don’t know if there is normal anymore.”

Kim Camputo 20-year-old Adam Lanza, an attack so horrifying that authorities could not say three days later whether the school would ever reopen.

Newtown, a community of 27,000 people 60 miles northeast of New York City, will face many more funerals over the next few days, just as other towns are getting ready for the holidays.

“I feel like we have to get back to normal, but I don’t know if there is normal anymore,” said Kim Camputo, mother of two children, 5 and 10, who attend a different school.

“I’ll definitely be dropping them off and picking them up myself for a while.”

Beyond Newtown, parents nervously sent their children back to class in a country deeply shaken by the attack, and in a measure of how the tragedy has put people on edge, schools were locked down in at least four places.

As investigators worked to figure out what drove Lanza to lash out with such fury — and why he singled out the school — federal agents said he had fired guns at shooting ranges over the past several years but there was

no evidence he did so recently as practice for the rampage.

At Jack’s Christian service, hymns rang out from inside the funeral home, where the boy lay in an open casket in the Giants’ star wide receiver Victor Cruz’s No. 80 jersey. Jack was among the youngest members of a youth wrestling association in Newtown, and dozens of little boys turned up at the service in gray Newtown Wrestling T-shirts.

Ten-year-old Luke Wellman remembered a boy who loved football and wrestling and worshipped Cruz, who played in Sunday’s game with “Jack Pinto ‘My Hero’” written on one of his cleats.

Luke said: “I’m here to support my teammate and friend.”

A mourner, Gwendolyn Glover, said the service carried a message of comfort and protection, particularly for other children. “The message was: You’re secure now. The worst is over,” she said.

At Noah’s funeral, the boy was described a smart, funny and mischievous child who loved animals, Mario Brothers video games and tacos.

Students nervously return to school after shooting

BY CHRISTINE ARMARIO Associated Press

Victoria Millon bowed her head during a moment of silence at her Miami elementary school on Monday and thought about the 20 children nearly her age who were killed in their classrooms in Connecticut last week.

They wouldn’t be able to open their Christmas presents, the 11-year-old thought. And they would never grow up.

“They had their whole life ahead of them,” the girl said.

The principal assured Victoria and her classmates they were all safe, and afterward the students talked with their teacher about the shooting and the disturbed man who fired the shots. When someone started to talk about how

“They had their whole life ahead of them.”

Victoria Millon Miami elementary student some of the kids in Newtown, Conn., saw their friends and teacher die, Victoria started to cry.

The horrific shooting that left 26 people dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday reverberated in the nation’s classrooms Monday. Students worried about their safety, teachers faced difficult questions, administrators reviewed security plans. and police responded to reports of new threats.

Worried parents considered keeping their children home, only to painfully conclude they could only shelter them so much.

“Ultimately, if this is going to happen ... nowadays, it could happen in a movie theater, at the mall, anywhere,” said Lilly Rosell as she nervously surveyed her 7-year-old daughter’s Miami elementary school.

“It’s now about being in the prayer closet a little more often.”

At least three schools were on alert in Ohio after threatening comments were made on Facebook and Twitter. In suburban Philadelphia, officers rushed to a high school after security officers mistook a student’s umbrella for a gun. In Tampa, Fla.,

the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office questioned students after a bullet was found on a school bus.

And in Ridgefield, Conn., swarms of parents picked up their children and police were dispatched to every school after a report of a suspicious person at a nearby train station.

Emily Pambianchi, a third-grade teacher at a private school there, said she and her students sprang into action when a lockdown was announced in response to the threat.

Lights went off, blinds were shut, doors were locked and students were ushered into safe areas.

“We read books, talked about holiday traditions and shared ideas about the holidays with one another in the dark,” Pambianchi said.

Today

Buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pulse A key measure of U.S. homebuildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; confidence in the housing market is due out today.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index hit 46 last month, the highest reading since May 2006. That reflects a budding housing turnaround. Readings below 50 indicate negative sentiment about the housing market. The index hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reached that level since April 2006, the peak of the housing boom.

Focus on growth

Dividend growers: Bank of America identified these companies in the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index as candidates to possibly increase their dividend. That finding is based on such factors as stable earnings and a relatively low dividend payout ratioâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the percentage of net income that is paid to shareholders as dividends.

Obam Bank of America studied the impact of dropping Ba dividend tax rate to 15 percent in 2003. It found the d the valuation of stocks with high dividend yields th was largely unaffected by tax policy and that w there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a significant impact on the relative performance of dividend-focused investment perfo strategies. strate Its report also noted that investing in companies that grow their dividends has been one of the best strategies over the last few yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; outperforming the market in 10 of the last 12 quarters.

A possible hike in dividend taxes xes on Jan. 1 is causing concern for many ny investors. But Bank of America Merrill Lynch examined how stocks performed following past changes to the dividend tax rate and concluded that â&#x20AC;&#x153;taxes do nott matter as much as growth.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important because dividends, dends, mostly taxed at 15 percent, are scheduled to be taxed like ordinary income next year. And the he rates on ordinary income may increase, too. The worst case for the wealthiest would be a return to a top rate of 39.6

But now Carnivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales trends point to a rebound for the company. Since summer, its booking volumes and pricing for cruises through June 2013 have improved. Investors learn today whether the trend continued in the September-to-November period.

Companies and government agencies are clamping down on technology spending amid an uncertain economy.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad news for business software makers like Oracle, which reports fiscal second-quarter earnings today. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue unexpectedly dipped 2 percent in the previous quarter. Oracle has forecast that revenue in its latest quarter would be up slightly.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Jabari Brown understandably felt nervous Monday night.

Playing in his first game since Nov. 17, 2011, when he was a freshman at Oregon, Brown scored 12 points, helping No. 12 Missouri beat South Carolina State 102-51.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound guard became eligible at the end of the first semester. He entered the game with 16:01 left in the first half. After a missed 3-pointer, he assisted on a fast-break layup

by Negus Webster-Chan.

He scored his first points on two free throws with 9:35 remaining.

“It felt weird having a lot of people cheer for me,” Brown said. “But I felt good.”

Alex Oriakhi said his new teammate is more than just a great shooter on the court.

“He’s looking to get other people involved,” Oriakhi said. “On this team, we have a lot of guys that can score the ball. So with him being a passer, along with the rest of us, it makes the team a lot more comfortable to play with each other.”

Missouri (9-1) didn’t need Brown on Monday.

Phil Pressey’s jumper 17 seconds into the game gave the Tigers the lead for good.

An 18-2 run midway through the first half provided the team with a 31-11 lead with 5:58 left.

Despite not playing for nine days, the Tigers scored 49 points in the first half, representing the team’s best this season.

Missouri had been shooting 39.6 percent in the opening half for the season before its 18-for-33 performance

Monday.

The team did better in the second half, adding 53 points on 23-of-39 shooting, helping Missouri reach the 100-point mark for the first time since Dec. 15, 2011.

“We haven’t been putting two halves together and we have been struggling with starting games off well,” Keion Bell said. “So just to see the guys come ready to play and just play with intensity was something I wanted to see in our team.”

Matthew Hezekiah led South Carolina State (4-7) with 14 points and 12 rebounds. His six points were the only scoring by the Bulldogs in a 12-minute stretch in the first half, helping Missouri build its early lead.

Khalif Toombs and Louis Adams, who have combined for 28.1 points per game this

season, added a total of 14 points after only contributing 13 in the team’s last game against Albany.

“We were supposed to slow the game down,” Hezekiah said. “They got us out of that and they kept running and scoring and we couldn’t stop team.”

South Carolina State, picked to finish last in the preseason Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference preseason poll, is already one win shy of matching its total of last season, when it finished 5-26 overall and 0-16 in conference.

Despite having a minus-7.2 rebounding margin against its last seven opponents, all of them from non-BCS conferences, the Bulldogs hung in there on the glass in the Please see NO. 12 | 9A

Seminoles defeat Warhawks 63-48 Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Okaro White had season-highs of 19 points and 11 rebounds and freshman Aaron Thomas added a career-high 17 points in his first college start as Florida State defeated Louisiana-Monroe 63-48 Monday night.

The Seminoles (6-4) played without star guard Michael Snaer, who warmed up before the game but didn’t play.

Florida State was also without guard Ian Miller (foot).

Trent Mackey had 22 points — making six 3-pointers — and Jayon James added six points and 12 rebounds for Louisiana-Monroe (1-6), which had 23 turnovers.

White scored 11 of Florida State’s first 17 points, but the Seminoles struggled early, turning the ball over 13 times in the first half. He made 12 of 13 free-throw attempts and finished one point shy of the career high he set against Charleston Southern in December 2011.

Devon Bookert added 10 points for the Seminoles, who shot 40.4 percent (19 of 47) from the floor.

They also made 20 of 24 free throw attempts (83.3 percent). LouisianaMonroe led 18-11 with 8:54 until halftime, but Florida State went on a 15-2 run to pull ahead for good.

The Warhawks shot 38.0 percent (19 of 50) from the floor, but except for Mackey they struggled with the 3-pointer.

Louisiana-Monroe’s other players shot just 1 of 9 from beyond the arc.

Florida State outrebounded Louisiana Monroe 37-25.

The Seminoles’ 19 turnovers marked the third straight game they have committed at least that many.

Florida State defeated Maine 91-59 with 19 turnovers and had 22 in a 7247 loss to Florida.

Butler may consider joining ‘Catholic 7’

BY MICHAEL MAROT Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Butler President James Danko is not changing his mind.

Two days after telling The Associated Press he wouldn’t completely rule out the possibility of joining a new conference, Danko issued a statement that will likely keep the conference realignment talk buzzing.

“Our administrators, our coaches, our trustees and our team will continue to do what is right for Butler and its students,” he said. “Decisions will be made, first and foremost, with the university’s

strong values and the Butler Way at heart. Our uncompromising commitments to integrity, to placing one’s team above oneself, and to the academic and personal growth of each of our student-athletes will remain paramount.”

In other words, the school is keeping its options open.

When word leaked last week that seven Catholic schools in the Big East were looking to leave the conference and form their own league, Butler was one of the first names to pop up as a possible new member. Since then, the parties involved have done nothing to dis-

suade such talk.

An Atlantic 10 spokesman said the league would not immediately respond to the reports, and Butler athletic director Barry Collier has declined to comment on any potential move. During the second half of Butler’s 8886 upset of No. 1 Indiana on Saturday, Danko was asked whether he would completely rule out the speculation.

“I’d rather not talk about it until something happens,” he told The AP. Something has already happened — regardless of what role Butler could play.

On Saturday, Villanova,

Georgetown, St. John’s, DePaul, Marquette, Providence and Seton Hall decided to officially separate from the Big East and construct a basketball-centric league.

Whether the Bulldogs will be involved in this next round of realignment remains unclear.

Some reports have indicated Xavier and Butler, both of the Atlantic 10, are two schools the “Catholic 7” would like to include in a 10- or 12-team league, even though Butler is not a Catholic institution and would likePlease see BUTLER | 9A

Grizzlies overcome slow start to defeat Bulls Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Mike Conley had 17 points, Zach Randolph added 10 points and 15 rebounds and the Memphis Grizzlies overcame a poor start to beat the Chicago Bulls 80-71 on Monday night.

Conley was 6 of 12 from the field and had four assists.

Rudy Gay had 12 points for Memphis but shot 5 of 13, continuing his slump. Wayne Ellington scored all 11 of his points in the second quarter, when the Grizzlies reserves provided a lift after a sluggish first period.

Carlos Boozer led the Bulls with 16 points and 13 rebounds, while Marco Belinelli finished with 13 points.

Luol Deng and Joakim Noah had 11 points apiece for the Bulls, but Deng was 4 of 17 from the field.

Both teams shot just better than 37 percent. But Memphis was 6 of 11 from 3-point range compared to the Bulls hitting only 2 of 11 long-range shots. The Memphis frontline of Gay, Randolph and Marc Gasol were a combined 10 of 34, while the Bulls starting frontline of Deng, Boozer and Noah made 16 of 42.

Memphis controlled the boards 51-39 and had 18 offensive rebounds.

The Grizzlies shot just 4 of 22 in the first quarter and had six turnovers in fall in behind in the first.

But the Memphis bench brought the energy in the second that was missing from the starters. Quincy Pondexter, Jerryd Bayless and Ellington contributed on the offensive end, hitting all five of their shots from 3-point range in the period.

Ellington had 11 points in the period to lead Memphis to a 39-34 lead at the break,

the Grizzlies biggest lead of the half. Boozer had 12 points on 5 of 9 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds for Chicago.

The leading scorers on both teams were struggling at that point. Deng, who averages 17.8 per game, was limited to four points on 2 of 7 from the field.

Gay, meanwhile, missed all six of his shots in the half and was scoreless.

Memphis extended the lead to 61-53 entering the fourth, as Conley scored seven in the Please see GRIZZLIES | 9A

first half, getting outrebounded 23-19 by the third-ranked rebounding team in the country. But Missouri expanded the margin in the second half, outrebounding the Bulldogs 25-15.

Coach Tim Carter said that he thought his team had improved game-by-game until Monday.

“They ran us out of everything we tried to do,” he said. “Everything. They did a great job. We had no answer for anything that they did tonight, no answer.”

Earnest Ross’ 16 points led five Tigers who scored in double-figures, while Oriakhi grabbed 11 rebounds. Laurence Bowers added 11 points, giving him 1,001 for his career, becoming the 44th Missouri player to reach the 1,000-point plateau.

“I know one thing, I’m very honored to have had an opportunity to coach him,” coach Frank Haith said of Bowers.

“The young man has really worked hard to get his game to where it is, and he’s going to score a lot more points.”

Missouri plays No. 10 Illinois on Saturday in St. Louis in the teams’ annual Braggin’ Rights Game, having won the last three.

ly be one of the smaller schools in the new conference.

What Butler does have, though, is a national reputation as a strong basketball school, a city with an NBA arena that could host the conference tourney and a television market in a basketballcrazed state that could be an attractive option for a network. Local officials have said they have had no contact with the Catholic schools about playing the league tourney in Indy, which already has a deal to host the Big Ten men’s and women’s tournaments in even-numbered years through 2016.

The Bulldogs (8-2) have been to two of the last three national championship games, upset a No. 1 team for the first time in school history Saturday and debuted at No. 19 in this week’s Top 25.

“The fact that Butler is now being mentioned prominently as a potential candidate to join the ‘Catholic 7’ universities in a new athletic league, is a tribute to the success of our athletic program overall and our men’s basketball team, in particular,” Danko said. “Our team has proven consistently and continuously that it is one of the very best in the nation, and that they are one of the biggest brands in men’s college basketball. This national prestige naturally leads to speculation about Butler’s athletic future.”

Wherever that future lies.

Some alums and faculty members were unhappy when the Bulldogs announced in May they were leaving their longtime conference home, the Horizon League, for the Atlantic 10. The move was not expected to take place until 2013-14, but officials from Butler and both leagues later announced the move would be expedited and that the Bulldogs would begin Atlantic 10 play this fall. Butler will make its league debut Jan. 9 at St. Joseph’s.

third. Noah had six points for Chicago.

Marreese Speights would connect on a tip-in to open the fourth for the first double-digit lead of the game at 63-53.

Chicago turned up the defensive pressure at that point, becoming much more active in challenging the Grizzlies and pushing them to uncomfortable passes.

Offensively, the Bulls were trying to get Deng involved, but he hit only 3 of his 12 shots by the time the game reached the midway point of the fourth.

Chicago got within five points when Jimmy Butler scored on a breakaway dunk with 5:05 left. Memphis then extended the lead back to double digits, providing enough of a buffer for the Grizzlies to win their second straight.

Saints look to win, playoffs or not

BY BRETT MARTEL Associated Press

METAIRIE, La. — Saints guard Jahri Evans acknowledges a measure of regret that it took so long — probably too long — for New Orleans to resemble the playoff contender it had been the previous three seasons.

“We knew the talent we had in the locker room and definitely displayed yesterday. We wish could have done that a little bit earlier in the season,” Evans said Monday, a day after the Saints turned in by far their most complete game of the season in a 41-0 rout of NFC South rival Tampa Bay. “You definitely saw a glimpse of what we were trying to do going into the season and what we knew we had in this locker room and hopefully we can keep it going, finish strong and take it into next year.”

When the Saints kick off at Dallas next Sunday, they will still be mathematically alive for the last NFC wild card berth, but also facing exceedingly long odds.

To make the playoffs, the Saints will have to win their last two games against the Cowboys and at home against Carolina, and need eight games involving other teams to go their way during the final two weeks.

blame guys one bit to have a little bit of doubt,” defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said. “These guys have never given up. ... They’ve embraced it, even through some down times, because certainly in this business it’s all about winning and I don’t think anybody here feels like we’ve won enough. But after yesterday, I would hope that there’s a lot more comfort and confidence.”

The Saints’ offense also looked as if it was back to its old prolific self, accounting for 447 yards, including 149 on the ground against Tampa Bay’s No. 1 ranked run defense, which came in allowing only 78.2 yards per game. Drew Brees threw for 307 yards and four TDs. “We’ve got a lot of guys that have a lot of want-to on this team and have a lot of pride,” Vitt said. “It was a good team win and we probably put together four quarters as well as we have all year long.”

Now the question is whether the Saints can carry it forward against a Dallas squad in a playoff hunt of its own.

As far as Evans is concerned, New Orleans’ motivation remains high, regardless of playoff scenarios.

“As long as there are games to be played there are games to be won,” Evans said. “It’s never too late to play well.”

two divisional titles and three straight trips to the postseason. The Saints had 13-win regular seasons in both 2009 and 2011, along with an 11win run in 2010.

But in the spring of 2012, the Saints became embroiled in scandal, losing head coach Sean Payton for an entire season in connection with the NFL’s bounty investigation. General manager Mickey Loomis got an eight-game ban and assistant head coach Joe Vitt six games.

While suspensions for two current Saints defensive captains, linebacker Jon Vilma and defensive end Will Smith, were ultimately thrown out, their legal effort to overturn their punishment hung over the franchise all the way through Week 14.

Now the Saints, who won more games than any NFL team from 2009 to 2011, can’t finish better than .500 in the 2012 regular season.

Still, after their rout of the Buccaneers, an 8-8 finish hardly seems out of the question. The Saints’ defense, which allowed 400 yards or more in each of the first 10 games, has not allowed 400 yards in a game since and has posted the first shutout of any Saints team since 1995.

“When you get off to the rocky start we did, it’s human nature and I don’t

Specifically, New Orleans also will need the Cowboys to lose their season finale against Washington, St. Louis to lose one of its last two games, and Minnesota, Chicago and the New York Giants to all lose their final two games. If it happens, the Saints will finish in a fiveway tie at 8-8 and incredibly sneak into the playoffs based on a series of tiebreakers.

They would welcome that, of course, but they’re certainly not deluding themselves.

Rather, they’re talking about building for next season as if they’ve already been eliminated.

“It’s sad that it’s a little late in the season” for the Saints to play their best football, said defensive end Cameron Jordan, who had a sack, strip and fumble recovery on the same play against the Buccaneers.

“It’s nice to see we’re capitalizing on the potential that everybody saw in us this past game, but we should have showed that earlier.

“Most definitely it’s a pride issue right now,” Jordan added. “I’d love to break even. We’re 6-8 right now.

Two games left. I’d love to get these last two wins.”

The Saints piled up lopsided wins through much of past three seasons, which including a Super Bowl title,

Woman looking ahead wants boyfriend to adopt her view DEAR ABBY: I am 20 and have been with my boyfriend, “Griffin,” for five years. He recently gave me a beautiful promise ring. I would like to spend the rest of my life with him, but I think I have a problem.

I am going to become an adoption professional, and I plan on adopting one day. Griffin knows I’m pursuing this career and that I want to adopt, but I don’t think he understands how serious I am about it. How do I let him know I’m serious about this? I don’t want to wait five more years and find he’s not on the same page and that I wasted my time. When I try to discuss it, Griffin says we’re “too young to think about it.” What do I say to that?

—MAPPING OUT MY FUTURE IN L.A. DEAR MAPPING: It appears you are more mature than your boyfriend. Because you are determined to eventually adopt a child, I agree that it’s important for you to know whether Griffin has any negative feelings about adoption because some people are unable to accept a child who is not their own. The next time he says you’re too young to think about such things, explain that.

Because Griffin presented you with a promise ring is no guarantee that in five years the two of you will make it to the altar together.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter, “Annie,” is a single mother, holds a full-time job and trains for triathlons. Her son, “Cooper,” is 3. Annie has

him enrolled in day care from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. every day Abigail w h i l e Van Buren she’s at work. AfDear Abby terward, she picks up Cooper from day care and checks him into the gym’s child care service while she works out.

I have offered to pick my grandson up from day care once a week and keep him until Annie finishes her workout. My other daughter has offered to pick him up twice a week so he can play with his cousin at her house.

Annie has become defensive. She says we’re offering because we think she’s neglecting him. Actually, I DO think so. It breaks my heart that my grandson spends 12 hours a day in day care. Do you agree with me? What

should I do? — WORRIED GRANNY IN THE SOUTHWEST DEAR WORRIED GRANNY: Annie may be defensive because she feels some guilt, or because you need to become a better actress and transmit less disapproval.

Apologize to her if that will smooth things over.

Explain that you would like Cooper to spend time with you because you love him and want him to develop warm childhood memories of his grandmother. Tell Annie that her sister wants him to spend time with his cousin so they will have a closer bond when they’re older. Then cross your fingers.

Horoscopes by Holiday

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Day and night will have completely different tones as the moon goes from Aquarius to Pisces. Social efforts and encounters by daylight will provide fodder for an introspective night of mysterious and insightful dreaming. So keep paper and pen by the bedside, and before you go to sleep, affirm that you’ll remember your dreams.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be a translator of sorts, helping people communicate.

Just as a song sung half in one language and half in another catches more ears, your work in two different areas will attract customers in both.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). There’s something about a formal setting that brings out the best and worst in people. When the stakes seem high, every move becomes significant.

Formalities provide the opportunity for observation and analysis.

GEMINI (May 21June 21). Stay attuned to the people around you.

Also, beware of those who are more interested in the rest of the room than in the ones they are with. It’s either a sign of distress or a weakness of character.

CANCER (June 22July 22). Would you rather be with someone who talks nonstop or someone who barely speaks at all? You may get a taste of both personalities now, as both colorful and quiet people will be attracted to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If the effort to be fun makes you feel frantic instead, consider that it might not be your fault.

Maybe it’s the other person. You deserve to have a stable presence in your life, someone who makes you feel safe and relaxed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-

Sept. 22). You long for life to bring a new color that your eyes have never touched. You crave a freshness you can inhale.

It could happen if you’re willing to go out of your way to crush monotony.

LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Though you don’t like the dirty, icky, squishy things that sometimes happen organically, you still have a capacity for becoming enthralled by nature.

You’ll experience such beauty tonight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You know how comforting it is to get the signals from others that you are accepted “as is.”

Therefore, you give those signals to others, making them feel relaxed and welcome to be themselves without pretension.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Like the flow of traffic on a freeway, the current pacing of your environment is the result of many collaborative factors.

Matching the pace is smart. Pushing it along or holding it back isn’t.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have talent; no one will argue that. But you lack a few of the tools and techniques you need to get your talent to the world.

Someone will help you remedy that situation today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In the future, people will behave much the same way they are behaving right now.

Because you expect this, your antennae are fully extended. You are ready to dissect and interpret each move.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The wound healed long ago, but the scar remains to tell the story. In time, that too will fade. But for now it’s part of you. If you embrace it, everyone else will, too.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. A different way of eating or exercising improves your health and image. A funny coincidence triggers a chain of good luck. Follow your curiosity into a new circle of friends in January. New living arrangements are featured in March. April brings the happy settlement of a negotiation. Libra and Cancer people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 14, 38 and 20.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I’m a Pisces man who has always had a thing for feet.

I like their shape and find them interesting and beautiful. My girlfriend recently told me that feet are important to Pisces, which surprised me because I thought Pisces was a fish, and fish don’t even have feet. Can you explain this?”

In ancient times, astrology stretched over much of the professional world. Many doctors, politicians, clergy, architects, army captains, farmers, inventors and the like were also astrologers who applied their knowledge of the sun, moon and stars to their work.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Arguably the most famous film director on Earth, the very name of “Spielberg” is practically synonymous with “blockbuster.” Steven Spielberg was born when the sun and Mercury were in expansive Sagittarius, the realm of other worlds. His creation of such worlds in film and in the digital medium of video games has opened the eyes and hearts of audiences everywhere.

Duck Dynasty star to speak at Freed-Hardeman HENDERSON, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Freed-Hardeman University athletic department has a history of bringing in former college and professional athletes and coaches as the keynote speakers of the annual Sports Advisory Council Benefit Dinner.

That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change for the 2013 dinner, but the reason the speaker has achieved national fame will be a little different.

Freed-Hardeman will welcome Phil Robertson, star of the highly popular television show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duck Dynastyâ&#x20AC;? on A&E, as the fea-

tured speaker of the dinner Saturday, May 4, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to have Phil Robertson as our speaker for the 2013 SAC Benefit,â&#x20AC;? said FHU Athletic Director Mike McCutchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While he has been well-known among duck hunters for a long time, A&Eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Duck Dynastyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has given us all a glimpse into what Phil, and his family, are all about. Millions of viewers are able to see faith and family values, in action. We are all in for a great evening when Phil Robertson comes to Freed-Hardeman Univer-

sity.â&#x20AC;?

The event begins at 4:30 p.m.in the Brewer Sports Center with a silent auction of sports memorabilia. Photo opportunities with Robertson begin at 5 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6 p.m. A live auction will take place at 7 p.m. followed by the keynote speech by Robertson at 7:30 p.m.

Robertson, who was born and reared in Vivian, La., was a standout high school athlete in football, baseball and track. He attended Louisiana Tech on a football scholarship and

played first-string quarterback ahead of NFL Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw.

Robertson took a different career path than did Bradshaw, teaching for several years before turning his passion for hunting and fishing into a livelihood for a family that by then included his wife, Kay and their four sons Allan, Jase, Willie and Jeptha.

Never satisfied with the duck calls that were on the market, Robertson began to experiment with making a call that would produce the exact sound of a duck. And so, in 1972, the

first Duck Commander call was born. Phil received a patent for this call and the Duck Commander Company was incorporated in 1973.

In the mid-70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Robertson made another important call when he turned his life over to God and made dramatic changes in the way he was living. He is now not only known as the Duck Commander but is also building a reputation all over the country for his faith and belief in the Almighty.

Duck Commander is still a family business with all

four sons and their wives working for the company at one time or another.

Not long after the success of the calls, Phil began a series of videos that developed a worldwide fan base of fellow duck hunters.

Tickets and sponsorships are available through the Freed-Hardeman Athletics Office. General admission tickets begin at $15 for students and $25 for adults, and sponsorship packages begin at $300. For more information, contact Tresa Carter or Mike McCutchen at 731-989-6900.

Federal review of cigarettes, tobacco products grinds to a halt

BY MICHAEL FELBERBAUM Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Talk about a smoke break.

Tobacco companies have introduced almost no new cigarettes or smokeless tobacco products in the U.S. in more than 18 months because the federal government has prevented them from doing so, an Associated Press review has found.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unprecedented pause for an industry that historically has introduced dozens of new products annually, and reflects its increasingly uneasy relationship with the Food and Drug Administration, which in 2009 began regulating tobacco.

Officials at the FDA say the reviews of applications for new products have taken so long because of â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant deficienciesâ&#x20AC;? and because the agency is taking extra care in reviewing products that pose public health risks. Industry executives say cigarettes havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed in any meaningful way and the delays donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense.

They say the changes are as simple as a brand name change, cigarette filters or, in some cases, different packaging.

Since June 2009, when the law allowing the agen-

cy to regulate tobacco went into effect, the tobacco industry has submitted nearly 3,500 product applications, according to data obtained by the AP under a Freedom of Information Act request. While none have been ruled upon, the vast majority of these products are already being sold.

A grandfather clause in the law allows products introduced between February 2007 and March 2011 that are similar to those previously on the market to be sold while under review. They can be removed from store shelves if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass muster with the agency.

But 400 products submitted for review since March 2011 are being kept off the market.

The reviews, which the industry expected to take 90 days, have dragged on for years in some cases.

About 90 percent of applications have lingered for more than a year.

The FDA does not have to disclose what the products are, and the companies wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, citing competitive reasons.

Part of the problem is that the tobacco industry is still learning how to deal with being regulated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have the burden of demonstrating that

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You try to introduce new products to keep some excitement and freshness out there. There are just so many hurdles and regulations and battles to get new products approved. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like you have a new sheriff in town, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to figure out what the new rules are.â&#x20AC;?

Jack Russo Tobacco analyst, Edward Jones new products and product changes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increase youth tobacco use, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increase toxicity and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wrongly deter people from quitting,â&#x20AC;? said Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

The group has raised concerns about new products that it says were illegally introduced without review by Richmond, Va.based Altria Group Inc., parent company of Philip Morris USA, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest tobacco company, and No. 2 tobacco maker Reynolds American Inc. Philip Morris USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marlboro Black NXT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a cigarette that can be switched to menthol by crushing a capsule in the filter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and two new styles of Reynoldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pall Mall menthol cigarettes

shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be allowed to be sold without FDA approval, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids argues.

The companies, however, believe they are complying with federal law. The FDA says it is investigating.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential that the FDA move â&#x20AC;&#x153;strongly and decisively to make public either why these product should be allowed to be marketed or to get them pulled off the market immediately,â&#x20AC;? Myers said.

The share of Americans who smoke has fallen dramatically since 1970, from nearly 40 percent to about 19 percent. But the rate has stalled since about 2004, with about 45 million adults in the U.S. smoking cigarettes.

social stigma are all making the cigarette business tougher. The industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue growth has been modest, staying steady only because the companies have raised prices as fewer cigarettes are smoked and others have focused on the small-butgrowing smokeless tobacco market. Tobacco companies need new products to keep their brands growing and steal smokers from competitors.

And though they say they only market to smokers, if cigarette makers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lure new ones, their business will die.

They also canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look for growth overseas. All of the companies sell cigarettes only in the U.S. Their brands are sold in other countries by different companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You try to introduce new products to keep some excitement and freshness out there,â&#x20AC;? tobacco analyst Jack Russo of Edward Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are just so many hurdles and regulations and battles to get new products approved. ...

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like you have a new sheriff in town, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to figure out what the new rules are.â&#x20AC;?

In an interview with the AP, Dr. Lawrence Deyton, director of FDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Tobacco Products, said

the agency is working with companies to get more information about products and hopes the industry will be more transparent about its reasoning that product changes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect public health.

Small changes in ingredients or additives can make a cigarette more addictive or harmful, Deyton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though cigarettes seem like a very simple product â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chopped-up tobacco rolled in paper ... we know that cigarettes are highly engineered. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re technologically incredibly sophisticated,â&#x20AC;? said Deyton.

The center has an annual budget of more than $450 million, funded by the industry, and more than 365 employees, about 115 of whom work on the application reviews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is new for them ... and this is new for FDA as well. ... Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not playing gotcha,â&#x20AC;? Deyton said.

The FDA isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exercising common sense, Murray Kessler, CEO of Newport cigarette maker Lorillard Inc., said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are cigarettes.

They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed in 50 years. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the most minor changes,â&#x20AC;?

Kessler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the spirit of the law ever envisioned this type of cumbersome scrutiny.â&#x20AC;?
