2012 Christmas Basket Fund “A Community Tradition”
Basket fund tops $14,000 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 $14,305, meaning just $5,695 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 $25 from Jerry and Barbara Yarber in memory of Pauline Carpenter and Jean Yarber; $200 from Glennan and Jan Grady; $200 from Buchanan Enterprises, Inc./ Bill’s Pawn Shop in memory of Bro.

Children question school massacre Professional counselor offers advice to adults in search for answers BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
In the aftermath of an event like the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., everyone is affected in one way or another. In this particular instance, with small children gunned down in cold blood along with the school employees tasked with caring for them, many have questions about how to talk to their children about the recent tragedy — and, just as importantly, how to listen. “The first safety need children have after becoming aware of a tragedy is a safe place and safe adults with whom to express what it’s like for them,” said licensed professional counselor Jaylene Whitehurst of Corinth. “They need home and parents
and caring adults to provide an accepting, non-judgmental environment where they can question freely.” Whitehurst also emphasized the importance of acknowledging that there are things that event adults don’t understand. There is bad in the world, but there is also much good, she said. “We don’t deny the bad,” she said. “But we don’t want to add to it. We need to add to the good. Kids are good in understanding that.” Adults must pay attention to their own feelings and talk to someone about their response to the events in order to manage them. “We don’t have to totally come to grips with the event. We do need to be able to moni-
tor our feelings and express them appropriately,” said Whitehurst. “It’s okay to be sad, angry, shocked. It’s how we regulate and display it that matters.” The following are Whitehurst’s thoughts on listening to children after tragic events: ■ Meet each child where they are. Some children will be extremely aware of the news; some less so. Responses will vary from child to child and from age to age. Young children are naturally self-focused and may not react as strongly as adults expect they will. Or their attention to it may bounce around, from very disturbed one minute to playing happily the next. This is natural. ■ If you feel a need to bring up the event first so that you are the source of information, rather than rumor or media, be sure it’s to give the child an opportunity to process what’s happened and not your own
need to release your anxiety by talking. Focus on your child’s needs. You can begin by asking what they have heard about it. ■ Reassure your child you do all you can to keep them safe and that many people work to keep them safe. Let your child know there are many kind people in the world and that we heard about it, but it didn’t happen here. For some children, this will be reassuring. Others will have more questions. ■ When children have questions, keep answers honest and short. Be mindful of overloading them with too much information. Keep it brief and address what your child asks. ■ Be prepared for your child to keep asking the same questions over and over. This is a way of processing what’s happening and looking for comfort.

City board delays zoning action BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Corinth aldermen on Tuesday delayed action on a requested Sawyer Road zoning change for apartments that a number of neighbors oppose. The board voted to table the request to rezone an area described as the Bonds property from an I-2 industrial zone to an R-3 multifamily residential zone after hearing comments from a couple of residents during a public hearing on the matter. Officials said the owner plans to put apartment units on the property. “We would like the area to stay just like it is,” said Thomas Holland, a resident of the area since 1965. “We feel like there is enough housing units in that area.” Pauline Sorrell also told the board she opposes the change along with several of her neighbors. Alderman J.C. Hill said he was also contacted by another neigh-

48 angels still seek adoption BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
An agency always the first to help needs a quick response from the community. The Salvation Army has 48 names remaining to be adopted from its Angel Tree. The children need someone to assist in making Christmas brighter at the close of the business day today, according to director Mi-
chelle Miles. “We need to get them adopted as quickly as we can,” said Miles. Over 200 names appeared on the tree placed at the entrance of Walmart. The tree has been taken down with the names now at the Salvation Army. The agency is located at 1209 U.S. Highway 72 West. “They can come by the Salvation Army and we will make ar-
rangements,” added Miles. The director said a good figure to spend on each child is $50$60 with donations gladly accepted to help with the annual project. “A lot of children in Alcorn County would not be able to celebrate Christmas without this support,” said the director. “I hope and pray we can get this done.”

Corinth school trustees hear construction updates BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Corinth School District trustees recently heard updates on construction projects and a preview of upcoming legislative issues. For the softball complex on Proper Street, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality have given clearance for the project, and dirt work is expected to begin soon. The district is looking into how to handle a tie bid for the Corinth Middle School gymnasium project, which includes remodeling of the dressing areas.
TL&C Construction submitted a bid of $358,000, while Worsham Bros. submitted a bid of $359,000. But TL&C bid exactly $1,000 higher than Worsham Bros. on the alternate portion of the project, making it a tie. The window and door replacement is in progress at Corinth High School, and the roofing project at Corinth Middle School is complete. Superintendent Lee Childress last week attended a joint Senate-House Education Committee meeting for updates on a variety of education issues. The legislative budget office
is recommending level school funding for the coming year. With the district seeing an enrollment increase of about 80 students, that would yield a funding increase similar to what the district saw this year. On charter schools, the Senate proposal would allow local school boards in “A” and “B” districts to say whether or not charter schools can open in their territory. “The governor has a proposal that would allow for school choice,” said Childress. “As you know, presently in terms of transfers from one district to

Weather......5A Obituaries......3A Opinion......4A Sports......8A
another, the local boards have to approve a transfer and the receiving board has to accept it. This basically would take away that provision, and it would allow anyone to attend any school that they chose to attend if the receiving district was willing to accept them and if they had space for them.” The governor is also proposing gateway exams in grades three and seven. Students scoring minimal or basic in literacy and mathematics on the MCT 2 would fail. “The research is very clean that if someone cannot read or
does not have a strong understanding of reading at the end of the third grade that it is going to negatively impact them in terms of graduation, in terms of earning capabilities, in terms of possibly being incarcerated,” said Childress. The Corinth superintendent has also been involved in working on the new accountability model that is likely to become effective for 2013-2014. He said it will deal with a more comprehensive look at schools and focus attention on how the bottom 25 percent of students are progressing.

Alcorn County man faces drug charges BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
An Alcorn County man turned himself in to authorities after learning he was wanted for the sale of a controlled substance. Edward Nathaniel Flynn, 30, of 56 County Road 749, Corinth, was released on a $15,000 bond Monday following his surrender at the Alcorn County Justice Cen-
ter. “He was advised by the Mississippi Department of Probation that he had three warrants for sell of a controlled substance, stemming from a prior investigation,” said Darrell Hopkins with the Alcorn Narcotics Unit. “The complaints had been of drug sales in the Corinth and Wenasoga area.” According to Hop-
kins, officers with the unit have arrested several others involved with Flynn being one of the last individuals being charged. Flynn, currently on probation, is charged with three counts of sale of a controlled substance. “We are continuing to work on other complaints and encourage people to keep calling,” said Hopkins.

and just keep answering. ■ Validate your child’s feelings and recognize your own. “I know it’s hard.” “I don’t understand it either.” “It is confusing.” “I know it’s scary.” “I’m mad too.” ■ Monitor exposure to media, TV especially. Repeated messages and especially graphic images become imprinted into our memory and create lasting impressions. Those or us who repeatedly saw images of the Twin Towers coming down, for example, know that experience. Constantly seeing images of distraught children and parents, plus hearing the same verbal messages, serves no purpose and can be harmful. ■ You may need to take a break from the news. One option is to simply listen to the news from a non-visual source and keep it to the basics. ■ Some children may need extra closeness and affection from their safe adults. This may last for quite a while for some children. Other children may not need this as much. ■ Allow children to have any and all feelings about the events. This is a time when children can experience that it’s natural to have a variety of emotions and they can find ways to express those feelings and manage them. ■ There are many people who show up to help when sad things happen. Let your child identify some helpers they may think of and fill in with others you know about. Let them know there are

Managing Feelings Whitehurst also provided a list of practical suggestions to help parents in managing a child’s feelings. Anything that moves the experience from inside the child to outside releases stress, she explained. Things to do: ■ Physical activity. Take a walk with your child, ride bikes, play ball, run, etc. Just as a good walk relieves stress for adults, so does activity for our children. It can be reassuring to the child to do this together, and in the process opportunities to listen may come up. ■ Physical activity is often helpful when children begin to obsess over events. It’s not only relief, but also welcome distraction and something “normal” to do. ■ Ask your children if they could draw a picture of what they are thinking or feeling. Provide materials and be open to whatever images arise. Let them tell you about their pictures. You might draw your feelings too. ■ Balance the expression of fear, sadness, loss that children may express with an opportunity to also draw a time when the child personally felt happy or safe or brave. This reminds them that fear is not all there is. ■ Help your children make a collection of all the feelings they might be having as they come up. This is an opportunity to help children begin to identify their emotions. Draw faces with the feelings on them or write them down on sticky
notes and put them in a feelings box. When strong feelings arise, your child can look in the box and pull out the feeling its having and talk about it. ■ Children who are old enough to journal or write poems can write about the tragedy, in whatever way is comfortable for them. Let them share with you as they want to. Be available. ■ Help your children talk about who the safe people are in their world. Make a list of these people. Draw pictures of them or collect their pictures in some way. This kind of imagery makes it real that there are caring people for them. ■ Some children will need specific ideas about safety. Let them talk about what locations are safest in their school and how their school keeps children safe, if they seem to need this. Let the child talk about school personnel who would protect them. As adults with our own fears about vulnerability, these conversations may not be easy. Get support for yourself if you need it. ■ Do some role play. Your child can get a chair to be the part of them who’s nervous, mad, sad, etc. and the part of them who’s strong, brave, creative, smart, etc. They can switch from role to role and talk from each place. This allows all of who they are to be expressed and gives each child a chance to manage themselves. (Jaylene Whitehurst, M. Ed, LPC, NCC is owner of The HeARTwork Center for Creative Living.)

Sheriff suggests resource officers in county schools BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
SELMER, Tenn. — The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., has brought back the possibility of putting school recourse officers in each of the McNairy County Schools. McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck has a plan to present to the McNairy County Commission and the school board in January to ask for funding of the project. An estimated cost of the project would be $320,000 annually, according to the sheriff. Sheriff Buck said his cost estimation was based on average cost of $40,000 per officer with one officer at each of the eight schools in the county. This cost would include the cost of a car, uniform, training and other expenses. The sheriff had brought up the idea of school resource officers last year without any success. “I’m going before the county commission and school board in January to ask them to help fund the officers,” said Buck. “If you ask the people in Newtown if they would spend any amount of money to bring back one of the children, you know they would give everything to get just get one of them back.” Buck said he believes McNairy County is the only area county in West Tennessee without school resource officers. The sheriff said he has two sayings that apply to this situation “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail,” and “prior proper planning prevents poor performance.” While acknowledging that it is unlikely a similar tragedy would happen in McNairy County, he makes

the point the residents in Newtown would have thought the same thing prior to Friday’s massacre with left 20 children ages 6-7 dead and six adults. “There is no second chance when something like that happens and you have to prepare a security plan to prevent that from happening here,” said Buck. Buck recalled a time when no one thought it possible a racecar could plow into a crowd of people. The county saw that happen when six died during an accident at Cars for Kids in 2007. The sheriff made a personal post on the McNairy County Sheriff’s Office page on Facebook that attracted a lot of attention, receiving over 700 “likes” in one day. While the sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer in the county, he is also the father of a first grader and fifth grader who attend schools in McNairy County. He said the Newtown tragedy hit close to home when he learned the children killed were first graders. Buck said the program he envisioned would have three primary functions – security, mentoring the students and education. He felt an officer could teach criminal justice in the high schools and about bullying or drug education in the elementary schools. “We would want this officer to be friendly to build relationships with the students,” said Buck. “We do not want the students to be scared of officers. Our DARE officers have seen the students open up to them as they built relationships.”

Governor’s proposals will need hefty funding BY NICK BAIN State Representative
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s focus on improving educational outcomes for students is good news. I applaud his leadership on this issue. While many of his ideas have merit, some will need additional work. Others are problematical. The governor’s proposals to increase the entry requirements for teachers and to provide scholarships for high achieving students who become teachers are worth consideration and debate. Merit pay for teachers has been discussed for years. In 1989, Governor Ray Mabus proposed a form of merit pay in his BEST program. More recently, the legislature established a task force to study merit pay along with other issues contributing to our teacher shortage. Governor Bryant has agreed that funding merit pay should not reduce our already low pay for all teachers. The proposal is one the legislature should consider. Access to quality early childhood education for all students is woefully lacking in Mississippi. The governor’s proposal to provide $3 million to the Building Blocks program is a step in the right direction. The governor’s proposal to end “social promotion” by having gateway literacy exams at the end of the 3rd and 7th grades needs a lot of work. While we want all kids to be able to read on grade level, there is data showing that kids who are held back are more likely to drop out of school. We should support the concept while understanding that the issues are complex, and the solutions are not simple. The governor also wants mandatory improvement plans for high schools with low graduation rates and continued funding for Jobs for Mississippi Graduates, Teach for America, the Mississippi Teacher Corps and career and technical education. All of these programs are laudable. The governor continues to support a charter school bill, but has not provided specifics on his proposal. It appears inevitable that a charter bill will pass, and I support the passage of a good charter school bill. However, I sincerely hope the opponents and the supporters will work together in crafting the legislation. To do this, everybody must be given a seat at the table. Governor Bryant’s proposal for statewide open enrollment for K-12 does not appear to be feasible. Setting aside the fact that some school districts are under federal desegregation orders, there are innumerable issues including funding, recruiting for sports, transportation and student discipline. The governor’s most problematical proposal is giving Mississippi taxpayers an income tax credit for donations for scholarships for private schools. Basically this plan would divert state tax dollars to private schools. A similar “voucher program” was just struck down by the courts in Louisiana. This proposal might violate Mississippi’s constitution and needs to be thoroughly vetted. Florida has a similar tax credit scholarship program, and that state’s own research shows that the kids who get the vouchers and attend private schools perform no better than their counterparts who remain in the traditional public schools. In short, tax credit scholarships do not improve student achievement, and they reduce the tax dollars that are available to traditional public schools. And finally, all of the governor’s proposals cost money. He has included $24 million in new spending on his proposals in his executive budget. We are currently underfunding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) by $260 million. This year alone, of the 50 school districts that have provided information to the State Department of Education, 20 have raised local property taxes as a result of budget shortfalls. Despite the merit of the governor’s various proposals, it is difficult to see how we can fund any of them at a time when we are shortchanging our existing public schools.

Sen. Harden was unapologetic in beliefs JACKSON — Democrat Sampson Jackson was a brand new member of the Mississippi Senate in the early 1990s when lawmakers embarked on redistricting. There were only three black senators in the 52-member chamber at the time. More than 35 percent of Mississippi residents were black, and serious efforts were under way — by some lawmakers, at least — to increase the number of majority-black districts. Jackson, who’s from Kemper County, recalls he fussed when mostly black Noxubee County was drawn out of his district. He feared the change would hurt him politically, even if it meant electing an additional black senator. Democratic Sen. Alice Harden of Jackson, a Legislative Black Caucus member with more seniority, firmly put Jackson in his place. “She told me, ‘Shut up and sit down and you’ll be OK,’” Jackson recalled. He smiles at the memory now, saying he shouldn’t have been surprised that
the longtime educator knew how to be stern. But he was steamed at the time: “I Emily didn’t speak Wagster to her for two Pettus days.” Harden Capitol Dome died Dec. 6 after a lengthy illness. She was 64. With her election in 1987, Harden became the first black woman in the state Senate. Her Jackson colleague, Democratic Rep. Alyce Clarke, had become the first black woman in the Mississippi House only two years earlier. Harden’s death leaves the Senate with no black women as members now. (Democratic Sen. Barbara Blackmon of Canton was elected in 1991 and served two terms.) Friends and colleagues remember Harden as an advocate for education and champion of programs she believed would help women, children and people of modest economic means.
“If Alice told me she was going to support something, I didn’t have to worry. I knew she’d do it,” recalled Clarke, who’s still serving in the House, along with several other black women. Rep. Esther Harrison, D-Columbus, met Harden about 20 years ago through their work in the Democratic Party. In 1988, Harden was elected to the Democratic National Committee. She held the post 12 years. “Whatever she was involved in, she gave it her very best,” Harrison said. In 2006, the Mississippi House, which then had a Democratic majority, passed a bill that would’ve nearly banned abortion, had it become law. Some male House members argued it would be wrong to force a girl to carry a baby to term if she were raped by her father or uncle. But even after saying that, at least two of the men voted for it. Harden strongly opposed the measure. She said Mississippi shouldn’t ban most abortions, any more than it should ban other medi-
cal procedures. Harden also said she resented abortion opponents labeling people with her beliefs as “antilife.” “I can be pro-life and for choice, but I don’t have to be for this bill,” Harden said. In early 2011, when Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant was running for governor, he said Mississippi shouldn’t have to get federal approval for its redistricting plans. The approval of redistricting and other election changes is required by the 1965 Voting Rights Act, because of Mississippi’s troubled racial history. Harden responded that federal oversight is needed. “It may not be 1965, but there are those who still act as if we are living back in the ’60s,” Harden said. “I would like to think that at some point in our history, that we will get beyond having to submit everything that we do as far as voting to the Justice Department. But the reality of the situation is, we’re not there — not at this point, we’re not.”
Surroundings summon ghosts of Christmas past THOMASVILLE, Ga. — While the rest of the country is shoveling and shivering, South Georgia is at its loveliest. The camellias are blooming, live oaks keep their leaves and trees loaded with bright-orange kumquats and satsumas are exotically common. I’m not sure if it was provoked by the season, the place or the company, but I dreamed about my grandmother’s house last night. I’ve been told by someone wise never to try to recount your dreams, which are boring to everyone but you. I often ignore wise advice. Already I was missing my grandmother. That happens a lot during the holidays, especially when I find myself driving through a landscape so familiar that even the dirt smells right. It doesn’t have to be Georgia; anything along the same latitude will do. I was here to visit a friend. She lives in a secluded, unpainted and marvelous old family mansion on the road

flanked by quail plantations between Tallahassee, Fla., and Thomasville, perhaps Rheta the loveliest Johnson of all Georgia towns. Columnist My grandmother lived in a small town farther west. The paint on her farmhouse was only a distant memory by the time I came along. The rooms were big and the ceilings high, but that’s about all the place had in common with my friend’s grand house. But I was, after all, sleeping on a South Georgia screen porch in December while a dew so heavy it sounded like rain pelted the pines. I was transported. To me as a child, everything about my grandmother’s house was magical. I loved every nook and cranny. I especially loved December visits, when I could sleep on homemade
flannel sheets beneath so many quilts it was tough to turn in bed. There was central heat, of sorts. Each morning my grandmother wrapped me in a blanket and rushed me through unheated rooms to the kitchen, where a pot belly stove was central to all activities. We ate breakfast on a small kitchen table the color of egg yolks. My grandfather broke the fast in a spectacular meal of several courses. He began with a bowl of cereal, and progressed to a big plate of grits, sausage and eggs and, on some days, fish roe. He slathered his biscuits with a jelly made from mayhaws, a swamp berry. This was, of course, before the invention of cholesterol. I have the yellow table now, and I wonder how all of that food fit on that saltine-size surface. A cedar branch kept fresh in a saucer of water served as the Christmas tree. It had a string of colored lights and was placed on my grandfa-

ther’s desk in the entry hall. I’ve seen some remarkable Christmas trees in my six decades, including those in the windows of Paris’ finest department stores and in America’s fancy Biltmore House. I saw one placed in the middle of a downtown Natchez, Miss., street, creating an instant roundabout. None made as much of an impression as a branch in a saucer in South Georgia. When I awoke from my dream, I tried to tell my friend about her starring role in it. She was remodeling my grandmother’s house, yet not changing its character. The pie safe was full in the pantry, and the mantel clock was still keeping time. But I could not find adequate words to explain why this was such high honor.

Mayor indicted related to use of tax money BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press
JACKSON — A north Mississippi mayor accused of misusing taxpayer money on several purchases including at a Canadian sex shop was indicted Tuesday on one count each of embezzlement, false pretense and making fraudulent statements. Southaven Mayor Greg Davis has been under scrutiny since November 2011, when the Mississippi Auditor’s office told him to repay $170,000 for allegedly improper billings, including travel, food, liquor and one bill for $67 at Priape, described on its website as “Canada’s premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop.” Authorities said Davis has paid back some of
“Obviously it’s made things difficult for the city. We’re just going to continue to do what we always do, move the city forward. We’re going to try our best to do that.” George Payne Southaven City alderman the money, but still owes about $73,000. The charges in Tuesday’s indictment were related to a car purchase, city gas and a check from a city account. The FBI is also investigating Davis. The indictment said Davis made fraudulent statements in February 2009, by claiming to have authorization to purchase a car that had been leased by the city. The second count alleges he used city gas in his personal car from
February 2009 to January 2010. Count three, the false pretense charge, is related to a $1,000 check paid to Davis from a city account in March 2011. Davis’ lawyer, Steve Farese, said Tuesday that the mayor will plead not guilty. Farese declined to comment further until he sees the evidence against Davis. Mississippi Auditor Stacey Pickering said during a news conference in Jackson that the investigation
continues and that Davis was booked and released on a $3,500 bond. Pickering said Davis orchestrated the purchase of city car when the lease was up, paying about $11,000 for a vehicle valued at twice that amount. He also had the city reimburse him for an annual contribution to a political action committee that Davis never paid, Pickering said. After the allegations of improper spending came to light, Davis announced
that he is gay and said he and his wife had divorced. Some of the money that the auditor’s office ordered Davis to repay had been spent on counseling for Davis’ family. Davis, a Republican, is in his fourth term as mayor of Southaven, a suburb of Memphis, Tenn., that has grown rapidly in recent years to become Mississippi’s third-largest city, after Jackson and Gulfport. During a hearing in Hinds County in August, when Davis was fighting the auditor’s attempts to garnish his wages, the embattled mayor said he was being “persecuted.” The Southaven Board of Aldermen voted 6-1 in January on a resolution asking Davis to resign, but the officials had no author-
ity under Mississippi law to make him step down. Alderman George Payne said Tuesday that the situation has been a distraction, but Davis can’t be forced from office unless he is convicted of crime or loses an election. “Obviously it’s made things difficult for the city,” Payne said. “We’re just going to continue to do what we always do, move the city forward. We’re going to try our best to do that.” Davis served in the state House before he was elected mayor and ran unsuccessfully for north Mississippi’s 1st District congressional seat in 2008. As a legislator and a congressional candidate, he talked frequently about being a fiscal conservative.

NRA silent after school shooting BY PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Where is the NRA? The nation's largest gunrights organization — typically outspoken about its positions even after shooting deaths — has gone all but silent since last week's rampage at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that left 26 people dead, including 20 children. Its Facebook page has disappeared. It has posted
no tweets. It makes no mention of the shooting on its website. None of its leaders hit the media circuit Sunday to promote its support of the Second Amendment right to bear arms as the nation mourns the latest shooting victims and opens a new debate over gun restrictions. On Monday, the NRA offered no rebuttal as 300 antigun protesters marched to its Capitol Hill office. After previous mass
CARD OF THANKS Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, West Clinic, Legacy staff, Memorial Funeral Home, Members of Church of the Crossroads and friends for the prayers, support and kindness shown in the difficult times during the illness and passing of our loved one.

shootings — such as in Oregon and Wisconsin — the group was quick to both send its condolences and defend gun owners' constitutional rights, popular among millions of Americans. There's no indication that the National Rifle Association's silence this time is a signal that a change in its ardent opposition to gun restrictions is imminent. Nor has there been any explanation for its absence from the debate thus far. The NRA, which claims 4.3 million members and is based in Northern Virginia, did not return telephone messages Monday seeking comment. Its deep-pocketed efforts to oppose gun control laws have proven resilient. Firearms are in a third or more of U.S. households and suspicion runs deep of an overbearing government whenever it proposes expanding federal authority. The argument of gunrights advocates that firearm ownership is a bedrock freedom as well as a necessary option for self-defense has proved persuasive enough to dampen political enthusiasm for substantial change.

Classes resume in Newtown, minus Sandy Hook Elementary BY DAVID KLEPPER AND MICHAEL MELIA Associated Press
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Newtown returned its students to their classrooms Tuesday for the first time since last week's massacre and faced the agonizing task of laying others to rest, as this grieving town wrestled with the same issues gripping the country: violence, gun control and finding a way forward. Funerals were held for two more of the tiny fallen, a 6-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl. A total of 26 people were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S history. The gunman also killed his mother in her home, before committing suicide. The resumption of classes at all Newtown's schools except Sandy Hook brought a return of familiar routines, something students seemed to welcome as they arrived aboard buses festooned with large green-andwhite ribbons — the colors of the stricken elementary school. “We're going to be able to comfort each other and try and help each other get through this, because that's the only way we're going to do it,” said 17-year-old P.J. Hickey, a senior at Newtown High School. “Nobody can do this alone.” Still, he noted: “There's going to be no joy in school. It really doesn't feel like Christmas anymore.” At St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Newtown, back-to-back funerals were held for first-graders James Mattioli and Jessica Rekos, the third and fourth so far and the first of eight to be held in the coming days at the church. Memorial services and wakes were also held for some of the adult victims.
As mourners gathered outside, a motorcade led by police motorcycles arrived for the funeral of little James, who especially loved recess and math and who was described by his family as a “numbers guy” who couldn't wait until he was old enough to order a foot-long Subway sandwich. Traffic in front of the church slowed to a crawl as police directed vehicles into the parking lot. At one point, a school bus carrying elementary students got stuck in traffic, and the children, pressing their faces into the windows, sadly watched as the mourners assembled. Inside the church, James' mother stood and remembered her son. “It was very somber, it was very sad, it was very moving,” said Clare Savarese, who taught the boy in preschool and recalled him as “a lovely little boy, a sweet little angel.” The service had not yet concluded when mourners began arriving for the funeral of Jessica, who loved horses and was counting the years until she turned 10, when her family had promised her a horse of her own. For Christmas, she had asked Santa for new cowgirl boots and hat. “We are devastated, and our hearts are with the other families who are grieving as we are,” her parents, Rich and Krista Rekos, said in a statement. At a wake for 27-yearold first-grade teacher Victoria Soto, hundreds of mourners, many wearing green-and-white ribbons, stood in a line that wrapped around a funeral home in nearby Stratford, Conn. “Big smile, great eyes, just a wonderful person,” Lauren Ostrofsky said of Soto, who was killed as she tried to shield her students from the gunman.
“If anyone could be an example of what a person should be today, it's her.” Tensions in the shattered community ran high as the grief of parents and townspeople collided with the crush of media reporting on the shootings and the funerals. Police walked children to parents waiting in cars to protect them from the cameras. Many parents yelled at reporters to leave their children and the town alone. “Go away!” a man in a tow truck painted with an American flag screamed at media across from Hawley Elementary School. At Newtown High School, students in sweat shirts and jackets, many wearing headphones, had mixed reactions. Some waved at or snapped photos of the assembled media horde, while others appeared visibly shaken. Students said they didn't get much work done Tuesday and spent much of the day talking about the terrible events of last Friday, when 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza, clad all in black, broke into Sandy Hook Elementary and opened fire on students and staff. “It's definitely better than just sitting at home watching the news,” said sophomore Tate Schwab. “It really hasn't sunk in yet. It feels to me like it hasn't happened.” As for concerns about safety, some students were defiant. “This is where I feel the most at home,” Hickey said. “I feel safer here than anywhere else in the world.” Still, some parents were apprehensive. Priscilla and Randy Bock, arriving with their 15-year-old special needs son, James, expressed misgivings. “I was not sure we wanted him going,” Priscilla Bock said. “I'm a mom. I'm anxious.”

A top pick for 2013 For the last several years, Sabrient Systems, an investment research firm in Santa Barbara, Calif., has offered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dozenâ&#x20AC;? list of 13 top-ranked stocks for the year ahead. The selection is based on quantitative screens as well as a qualitative review, including a forensic accounting analysis of a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earnings. The Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dozen picks for 2012 are up an average 45 percent compared with the 15 percent climb in the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index. The biggest winners more than doubled: Ocwen Financial (OCN) is up 144 percent and Western Refining (WNR) is up 131 percent. Just one stock in the group has lost money. Kronos Worldwide (KRO), a maker of titanium chemical
products, is down 7 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of global political and military turmoil, there are always undervalued companies that will do quite well,â&#x20AC;? says David Brown, chief market strategist at Sabrient Systems. Brown shared a sneek peek at his list for 2013 which will come out in early January. Among the Bakers Dozen? The private equity firm KKR & Co. (KKR). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a year of significant corporate transactions (mergers & acquisitions, etc.) for which a company would hire an investment banker like KKR,â&#x20AC;? he says. Other key factors: KKR has more than $5 a share in cash and $3.5 billion a year in operating cash flow.

Housing starts The annual pace of new residential construction climbed on a monthly basis between August and October. But economists expect that the Commerce Department will report today that builders broke ground on homes and apartments at a slower rate last month. Housing starts are projected to come in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 870,000, down about 3 percent from the previous month.

A better quarter? Bed Bath & Beyondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales have been growing, thanks partly to its acquisition of Cost Plus and Linen Holdings. But the housewares retailerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses have weighed down its earnings, prompting the company to forecast weak third-quarter results, which are due out today. Even so, Wall Street anticipates the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest quarterly report card will trump its results from a year ago.

Jets bench Sanchez, will start McElroy Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mark Sanchez is no longer the New York Jets’ franchise quarterback. He might not even be the backup. Rex Ryan decided to bench Sanchez on Tuesday in favor of Greg McElroy after the fourth-year quarterback had another miserable performance in a 14-10 loss at Ten-
nessee on Monday night that eliminated New York from playoff contention. “I think it’s best for our team, and for this game,” Ryan said during a conference call. So, it’ll be McElroy under center for his first NFL start when the Jets (6-8) play the San Diego Chargers at home Sunday. Ryan hasn’t decided whether Sanchez or Tim
Tebow — listed as the No. 2 quarterback — will be the backup. While Sanchez blew the second chance Ryan gave him a few weeks ago, Tebow was leapfrogged by a third-stringer, fueling speculation that the team has little confidence in him as a quarterback. “I have to look at what I think is the best for the team and not necessarily the indi-
vidual,” Ryan said. “I’ll say this about Tim and I’ve always said it: I know he wants to help this team be successful in the worst way and there’s no doubt about that.” Sanchez threw four interceptions Monday night and wasn’t able to handle a low snap with the game on the line, ending the Jets’ hopes to Please see JETS | 9A
Alabama going through December traditions Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It must be December because Alabama is preparing for a national title game and Nick Saban’s future is a popular topic. The second-ranked Crimson Tide started practicing Tuesday for the BCS championship game Jan. 7 against
No. 1 Notre Dame with AllAmerica center Barrett Jones on the mend and Saban laughing off rumors about returning to the NFL. “We’re really, really pleased and happy to be here,” the former Miami Dolphins coach said Tuesday after the first bowl practice. “We’ve been able to accomplish a lot.
But like I’ve talked about before, this is a work in progress all the time. You’ve got to stay focused on the process to try to continue to make the next game the most important game, the next season the most important season, developing the team every year. “We certainly look forward to those challenges. I’m not
sure, regardless of what I say, that anybody believes what I say because I say it all the time. This is what we’re happy doing. This is what we like to do. But nobody really believes that. So, you know, maybe it doesn’t matter. I don’t know what I have to say or do, but it’s kind of funny to me,” he said.
Hainsey looking for NHL labor talks to resume Associated Press
NEW YORK — Winnipeg Jets defenseman Ron Hainsey is getting antsy. Not only is he anxious to get back to the bargaining table with the NHL, he really wants to be on the ice with his teammates. Just not at all costs and not without the right deal.
As part of the negotiating committee for the players’ association, Hainsey has kept busy during the lockout by taking part in the ongoing talks with the NHL. But ongoing is now a relative term, because nothing has been going on between the sides since talks broke down again last
week, despite the presence of a federal mediator for two days in New Jersey. “We’ve said it a number of times, but it’s worth repeating: It’s obviously very difficult to make a deal if you’re not meeting or negotiating,” Hainsey told The Associated Press in a telephone inter-
view Tuesday. “I’ve yet to see a way we can do it without sitting down across a table from each other.” Two weeks ago, progress was made during several consecutive days of negotiations between players and owners Please see NHL | 9A

League spokesman Greg Aiello said the NFL’s security staff was aware of the man’s threats and was working with the Jets to assist on the matter. The team declined comment through a spokesman. Ryan said after the loss that he wasn’t ready to decide who would start against the Chargers, but told Sanchez he would be making a change at quarterback by going with either McElroy or Tebow. “He respected my decision,” Ryan said. “That’s not easy, that’s for sure.” After talking to his staff and members of the organization Tuesday, Ryan chose McElroy. “This is my opinion, and I do believe that it’s best for our team that Greg is our quarterback,” Ryan insisted.

Shortened tests still revealing Rain cut short the second and final day of testing of the 2013 Sprint Cup cars at Charlotte Motor Speedway last week, but Kasey Kahne in the No. 5 Chevrolet from Hendrick Motorsports did manage to turn a lap at 193.771 miles per hour. That was a tick faster than the track record of 193.708 mph set by Greg Biffle in October. “It felt fast, and I knew where my throttle was, so I knew it was as fast as I have ever been around this track,” Kahne said. “I just think this car goes around the corner quicker.” The speeds have many in the sport speculating that NASCAR officials will make changes to slow the cars before the start of the season. Bobby Labonte said his single-car No. 47 Toyota team, led by crew chief Brian Burns, made progress at the test. “There are a lot of little things we are trying to figure out on the new car,” he said. “There are different nuisances we didn’t have with the other car. The rear camber issue; we’re just trying to get it all figured out. “This is the only car we have. So, we will go to the wind tunnel with it when we leave here and learn as much as we can. The biggest difference is the back of the car with the camber. With more camber in it, it’s more secure back to the throttle than what I was used to having last year.” Aric Almirola, driver of the No. 43 for Richard Petty Motorsports, said he made some laps during the test, and focused on things like fuel mileage instead of pure speed. And he said it still was helpful to get some laps in the new car. Additional testing of the redesigned car is set for Jan. 10-12 at Daytona International Speedway and at Charlotte on Jan. 17-18.

rad Keselowski unofficially began the defense of his Sprint Cup championship last week during a test session at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The reigning champion is in a rather unique position, as he’s starting out with a new manufacturer, Ford, replacing the Dodge he drove to the 2012 title, and he has a new teammate in Joey Logano. Dodge dropped out of NASCAR after Keselowski’s Penske Racing team announced in mid-season that it was switching to Ford. Logano left his longtime employer, Joe Gibbs Racing, to take over the No. 22 at Penske from temporary driver Sam Hornish Jr. A.J. Allmendinger started the 2012 season in the No. 22, but lost the ride after failing a drug test. Keselowski told reporters at Charlotte that it’s a little too soon to say how the new Ford Fusion will compare to the Dodge Charger he drove to the title. “It’s hard to get a great read on the whole manufacturer change because, obviously, it’s a different car, but I think all the signs are there that we have the potential to be just as strong, if not stronger, than we were last year, which is very, very encouraging,” he said. “We still have to work for it and make it happen, but the signs are there.” He also sounded positive about Logano. “It’s been a lot of fun having the first day today working with Joey, which I think has been probably more of an adjusting process than the actual car itself, and a good adjusting process. I’m curious to see over time how we can work together and push each other to be the best we can be.

We’ve got a lot of work to do.” Keselowski said the early signs indicate that the affiliation with Ford will pay dividends. “I think the level of engagement from the Ford camp is very, very high, which is extremely encouraging and that’s from the top on down,” he said. “That makes me feel more confident than anything else because at the end of the day, this is a people sport. You look at the cars and you look at the aero or whatever it might take to be the best you can be, and those things tend to work themselves out when you have the best people, and when you have people that are engaged and all are sharing a common goal and work ethic.” Keselowski also said he believes that he can learn from Logano, even though he has just two Sprint Cup wins to Keselowski’s
nine and has never finished better than 16th in the points standings. “I feel like there are a lot of areas that I can improve and be better, and I think there are things Joey does right out of the gate that are better than what I do,” Keselowski said. “I think he has the ability to unload at a place like [Charlotte Motor Speedway] and just instantly be fast, and that’s not my style. “It’s something that I would like to add to my arsenal because there are times where that’s really, really helpful, so those are some of the things I look at.” The reigning champ went on to say that he plans to put teamwork and hard work ahead of wearing his champion’s hat next season. “I think that Joey is an elite talent in this sport, and if we can work together that we will both be better,” he said. “I would rather finish second to him next year in every race and even the championship, than to rest on my laurels, not get any better and the whole field does, and run fifth, 10th, 15th, 17th – whatever it might be – and beat him. I think it’s that spirit that is going to drive us to be the best we can.” Keselowski also said he hopes to keep his crew motivated in 2013, not letting them rest on their championship accomplishments. He said the switch to a new manufacturer can help with that. “One of the best advantages of switching to Ford is it gives us something to prove all over again, that we can continue to be successful no matter what the manufacturer or no matter what the circumstance is and I think that’s very healthy,” he said.
Sprint Cup driver Joey Logano and two-time and reigning Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are back from a USObacked trip to visit troops stationed in the Middle East and in Germany. The two visited six installations in the second such trip for Logano and the first for Stenhouse. “We had the chance to meet some amazing men and women on our USO tour,” Logano told reporters. “I have so much respect for our troops; they do their jobs day in and day out without complaint and are always giving it their all. “We are lucky to have these men and women serving and protecting our country, and I can’t thank them enough for all that they do.” Said Stenhouse: “My first USO tour was an amazing experience. It was an honor to meet our troops and see them in action. “The service and sacrifice of these men and women and their families are inspiring, and I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for what they do for our country.”
Scott to helm Childress’No. 2 After a rather lackluster year driving the No. 11 Toyota in the Nationwide Series for Joe Gibbs Racing, Brian Scott is moving to Richard Childress Racing to drive the No. 2 Chevrolet that was vacated by Elliott Brian Scott Sadler, who is mov(NASCAR photo) ing to Gibbs’ team. Scott, a 24-year-old driver from Boise, Idaho, had two top-five and 11 top-10 finishes in 2012, but did not finish seven races en route to a ninth-place points finish. His bright spot for the season was a win in the season-ending Camping World Truck Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway driving the No. 18 Toyota fielded by his then-Gibbs teammate Kyle Busch. Phil Gould, the car chief for the No. 2 Chevy this past season, has been promoted to the crew chief position.
Bodine, wife team to find new Truck Series sponsor NUMERICALLY When it comes to Camping World Truck Series resumes, there are few that stand as strong as Todd Bodine’s. The youngest of the racing Bodine brothers from Chemung, N.Y., has 22 career victories, 92 top-five finishes and two championships, in 2006 and 2010. He’s only finished out of the top four in points on two occasions. He’s been successful in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series as well, winning 15 races and posting 90 top-five finishes. In his full-time seasons in Nationwide, he had a runner-up finish in 1997, was third twice and fourth twice. His worst finish there was a seventh in 1991, his first full season. Along the way he also made 241 Sprint Cup starts, mostly in inferior equipment, but he still managed seven top-five finishes and five poles. But with the 2013 season just around the corner, the 48-year-old brother of retired Cup drivers Geoffrey and Brett Bodine finds himself without a ride. As Bodine explains, driving talent alone is no longer enough to ensure employment. In today’s NASCAR a driver also has to be able to bring along the funding to support the race team. “The days of getting a job on your skills are over,” Bodine said. “If you’ve got the money, teams will take you.” Indeed, the Red Horse Racing team that fielded trucks for Bodine in 2012 has idled his crew but has assigned one of its trucks to John Wes Townley, who has the backing of his family’s Zaxby’s restaurant team.
Todd Bodine (NASCAR photo) But Bodine isn’t sitting idly by, hoping the current culture of Truck Series racing will change. He and his wife Janet, especially Janet, are working full-time trying to secure sponsorship. “She’s been working on it every day for a
year,” Bodine said, adding that interest from potential sponsors has picked up in recent weeks, but there’s no contract yet signed. “There are some really good companies that we’re talking to. We’re taking steps, but it takes time. Big corporations don’t work in the same time frame that race teams do. There are budgets to consider, and things like that.” In one respect, time is still on Bodine’s side. The Truck Series opens its season on Feb. 22 at Daytona, then is idle for six weeks. He figures that if no sponsor is on board by Daytona, he’ll make the season opener some way or another, then have another break to focus on securing sponsorship before the Kroger 250 at Martinsville Speedway on April 6. Bodine said it takes about $60,000 per race to field a truck, not counting the overhead at the shop, salaries and other costs. Sponsors generally would have to kick in between $80,000$130,000 per race to have a competitive team, he said. Bodine would like to return with the Red Horse team, and he’d like to stay with Toyota, but he said he’s open to any offers, including a ride in the Nationwide Series. “But so far, all we’ve pitched to sponsors is trucks,” he said. Despite the situation, Bodine sounds upbeat about the future. “I’ve been through this kind of thing before,” he said. “But it’s the first time my wife’s had to go through it. She’s struggling with it some, but she’s also working from 8 to 8 on sponsorship.”

Rice paper plant adds tropical flair One of the easiest ways to add tropical flair to any landscape is to use plants with large leaves. Rice paper plant is a favorite of mine that looks amazing as a component of many landscapes. Rice paper plant is a native of southern China and Taiwan and is known botanically as Tetrapanax paperifera. Interestingly, this is the only plant in the genus. The name refers to the use of the interior of the stem, called pith, to make a form of rice paper. This pith has the consistency and feel of plastic foam. The foliage really creates the tropical interest. Rice paper plant has huge leaves that can be up to 15 inches across. The leaves have five to 11 coarse lobes, and the undersides have a dense, white, feltlike texture. The fan-like leaves are attached by very long petioles toward the ends of stems that grow very upright. These characteristics create a visual fan-like or umbrella-like appearance. The plant blooms in the fall with conspicuous flower panicles that can be three feet long and more than three feet wide. These panicles are displayed above the plant foliage. The flowers are grouped in smaller clusters that are ball-shaped. The flowers have what I
would describe as a savory aroma. They attract many insects Gary l o o k i n g Bachman for a lateseason Southern feeding. Gardening Rice paper plant will form thickets, similar to its distant relative Devil’s Walking Stick, if left undisturbed. The plants readily spread by underground stems called rhizomes. New plants will spring up at various points along these rhizomes. The new little plants will leave a trail in the direction in which the rhizome is growing. New plants can pop up 20 feet away from the original plant, and it’s not uncommon for new rice paper plants to begin to grow in the lawn and other areas. Any unwanted plants are called suckers and can be pruned off. Treating the cut end of the rhizome with an herbicide, such as Roundup, will slow down the rhizome’s outward spread. In Mississippi, rice paper plant has the potential to reach 15 feet in height. The plant will die back in the winter, depending on the temperature. In light frosts and freezes, the stem may die back a couple of feet. Extreme cold can cause

Farmington resident loves to cook, share recipes “Nobody needs a cookbook if they have a computer.” That’s James Shults’ philosophy nowadays. “When I decide I want to cook something, I just g o o g l e whatever and get lots of recipes. I read through until I find one I like and Sue have the inBronson gredients.” He addDown Home ed, “You’d be surprised at how many different ways there are to fix potatoes.” Even with the computer, he still likes browsing cookbooks and swapping recipes. After graduating Farmington High School, like many young men at that time, James went “up North” where jobs were plentiful. After retiring from General Electric in Decatur, Ala. several years ago, he and wife Doris moved back to the Corinth area. The couple will soon be celebrating their 50-year anniversary together. His job as chief cook began in 2005 when Lois was diagnosed with cancer, then had heart surgery within a year. Now James does all the cooking, which is fine with Lois. The only time she feels she has to cook is when their younger son visits and wants his Momma’s Beef, Rice and Gravy. Members of Farmington Baptist Church, the couple likes to eat out especially on Wednesday and Sunday
for 45 minutes to one hour. Chess Squares 1 box yellow cake mix 1 stick margarine 1 egg Mix and press into 9x12inch pan or dish 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese 1 pound box powdered sugar 1 egg 1 cup pecans Mix and spread on top and cook at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
nights with fellow Sunday School members. James can also be found socializing at Jack’s Restaurant almost every morning for breakfast and Lois joins the crowd on Mondays and Fridays when there are more women. James and Lois like to travel. In fact, they will be flying to California to spend Christmas with a son and his family. Even though he won’t be in his own kitchen preparing the holiday meal, James said, “I’ll probably end up cooking something. I usually do.” When asked what is his favorite thing to cook, he replied, “Banana Nut Bread. I try to keep loaves baked because when I go somewhere -- to a friend’s house or to a get-together, I
like to take something. And everyone seems to enjoy my Banana Nut Bread.” Other desserts he’s noted for and are frequently requested at church socials and family reunions are peanut brittle, pecan pie and chess squares. His chess squares are to die for! This recipe was passed along by Carolyn Helton, who told him she got it from an old Farmington Church cookbook submitted by the late Irma Taylor. James shares his favorite dessert recipes plus one for delicious, but easy Taco Soup. Enjoy! Peanut or Pecan Candy 1 cup nuts 1/2 cup white syrup 1/4 teaspoon salt

True holiday spirit is the giving of yourself BY BRYAN GOLDEN Columnist
Among other things, the holidays are a time of giving and receiving gifts. The question most often asked of people is, “What did you get?” Much less frequently asked is, “What did you give?” Invariably, the inquiries concern material gifts. Purchasing a gift can certainly be thoughtful and a wonderful gesture, especially when it’s backed up by your actions. However, the most valuable presents are those that aren’t sold in stores. When you give your love, your time, help someone in need, aid another in solving a problem or overcoming an obstacle, you give something priceless. The true spirit of the holidays is giving. When you give, you receive. You can get anything in life you want by helping enough others get what they want. But only if you give without expecting anything in return. The impact of giving isn’t limited to just
the holiday season, it’s something that has value all year. The powBryan er of givGolden ing is often underesDare to Live Without Limits t i m a t e d . When you give unconditionally, you don’t just impact the recipient; you start a chain reaction. By brightening the life of one person you also affect all those who they then touch. No gesture of giving or kindness is too small. Holding the door open at a store, helping someone carry groceries to their car, letting another car in front of you, saying please and thank you, and saying hello to a stranger you pass on the sidewalk, are

For family and friends, your time is one of the most precious gifts you can offer. Are you there for others when they need you? Do you offer a hand without being asked? Do you help out when asked? Too often, people get caught up in their own desires, thus losing sight of the needs of others. A person who tries to get through life by looking
out for himself or herself first is invariably frustrated. Often this person views life as a competition to determine who can accumulate more. On the other hand, those who are concerned for the well being of others are happier, more content, and more satisfied. By giving without expecting, they in turn receive the things they need.
Giving is a simple concept that works every time it is applied. There will be people who don’t appreciate what you do, but it doesn’t matter. You are giving without anticipating anything in return. Besides, there will be many more who are thankful for your efforts. If you don’t treat others well, buying a gift won’t compensate for your behavior. The recipient might like what you give them but it won’t make up for your actions. You can’t bribe someone to forgive the way you treat them with a present. The best gift you can receive is the joy of making someone else happy. Being unselfish is a wonderful way to live. When you give with no ulterior motives, your actions are seen as genuine. Should
you expect something in return, your behavior is always suspect. We all know people who do nice things only when they want something in return. Make giving a daily routine. Don’t start and end with the holiday season. Every day is a good day to do something nice. When people feel good due to your actions, you can’t help but feel happy yourself. And that is priceless. The most significant action you can take is having a positive impact on the lives of others. (Daily Corinthian columnist Bryan Golden is a self-development expert, syndicated columnist and professor.

Dire predictions this year won’t stop Christmas BY JIMMY REED
To all these predictions, I answer: Bunk! Christians will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ … four days after 12-21-12.
Columnist
Misinformed individuals claiming to be well informed often predict the end of time. Since the beginning of recorded history, countless prophecies have been made about some sort of worldending cataclysm. When these catastrophes don’t happen, another end-time soothsayer comes forth with another augury. One of these end-time prophets was Christopher Columbus. Some of his early 16th century writings indicate he was convinced his New World discoveries had already been prophesied, and future events in these lands would precipitate Armageddon — most likely another Great Flood similar to the one that wiped out
Jimmy Reed Columnist mankind in Noah’s time. Then, early 20th century German scholar Ernst Forstemann provided what he felt was indisputable evidence that, as Columbus speculated, the world would end with a Great Flood. He based his claim on the Dresden Codex, an ancient Maya compilation that is the oldest book written in the Americas. In it are astronomical tables that have proven
to be surprisingly accurate. “On the last page of the manuscript, is depicted the destruction of the world. Here, indeed, is portrayed with a graphic touch the final all-engulfing cataclysm,” Forstemann said. But, as American astronomer Carl Sagan said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” Predictably, a whole new set of prophets proclaims it has ample
extraordinary evidence in support of the so-called 2012 phenomenon. They profess to be eschatologists, those who interpret that part of theology concerned with death, judgment and the final destiny of humankind. According to these pseudo-scientists, Planet Earth will experience a cataclysmic event on Dec. 21, 2012, or 12-21-12, and cease to exist. They base the prediction on what is called the Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar, prepared by Maya scribes thousands of years ago, which confirms 12-21-12 as the end date of one of the calendar’s 5,125-yearlong Great Cycles. American archeologist and anthropologist Michael Coe gave credence to this prediction by stating, “There is a sugges-

Even if the two celestial bodies don’t collide, the phony prognosticators claim a near miss will cause a pole shift, thereby annihilating all living things, including humanity.

(Mayan literature claims the gods had created three failed worlds prior to this date and had destroyed them.) Among the numerous speculations as to how the world will be destroyed, two get the most attention: a solar maximum and collision with Planet Nibiru. Solar maximums

Stock up on pantry essentials BY ERICA MARCUS McClatchy-Tribune News Service
In this season of unpredictably bad weather, I recently surveyed my kitchen and found that, while I was well ¿xed for canned beans, I had only a rind of Parmesan cheese and about a cup left of olive oil (which, barring a Hanukkah miracle, wasn’t going to keep me going for long). Thankfully, I never lost power but I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’m going to keep on hand for next time. Here’s a list of the essentials: Q Parmesan cheese: Cheese, wrote public intellectual Clifton Fadiman, is “milk’s leap toward immortality.” The whole point of cheese is to extend milk’s shelf life, and while we in America tend to refrigerate it, it will not go bad at room temperature. (Should mold appear, just slice it away; mold cannot penetrate the interior of cheese because it needs air to grow.) Hard cheeses such as Parmesan, Manchego and especially pecorino have the added bene¿t of being extremely salty — further discouraging spoilage. Q Nuts: Nutritious, delicious, ¿lling, versatile. I believe I could live for weeks on nuts. I usually keep a few bags of almonds and/or walnuts on hand. Q Crackers: Bread can last a few days; crackers last much longer. I have a strange fondness for crackers that have more in common with building materials than food (that’s you, Finn Crisps and Wasa crackers), but when I’m feeling anxious, classics like Saltines and Uneeda Biscuits hit the spot. Q Canned beans: I always like to have a few cans of cannellini beans, black beans and chickpeas on hand so that I can veer off into Italian, Latin-American or Middle Eastern directions. Or make an international three-bean salad. Q Onions, lemons, garlic: None of these fresh products require refrigeration, and they can all be counted on to add immeasurable zest to whatever you’re whipping up. Q Peanut butter substitute: I happen not to like peanut butter, but tahini (sesame paste) and Nutella are both proteinrich shelf-stable spreads. Stir some tahini into mashed beans, and you’ve got hummus; use it to give a twist to canned tuna. Smear Nutella on a cracker and call it dessert. Q Canned ¿sh: In addition to the regular, water-packed stuff, it’s nice to have a jar or two of fancy, imported oil-packed tuna — for special emergency situations such as a blackout anniversary dinner. Canned salmon and, for the stout of heart, sardines are an interesting change of pace. Add a mashed, jarred anchovy to almost anything to subtly deepen the Àavor. Q Olive oil and vinegar: A glug of extra-virgin olive oil and/or a splash of good wine vinegar elevate most foods. The truth is that even when there’s no weather emergency, the preceding list of foods will put you well on your way to always having dinner. Add pasta, canned tomatoes, eggs, butter and parsley, and you’re ready for company. What’s the most essential food nonessential? Chocolate ice cream.

Cocktail meatballs with cranberry marinara make a solid appetizer for Christmas or New Year’s parties.
Sweet, tangy & fit for a party Cranberry marinara adds holiday zip to savory meatballs BY J.M. HIRSCH
S
Associated Press
ometimes failure can end up tasting pretty good. It certainly was the case with these meatballs. I’d been aiming to creating a solidly delicious, all-purpose meatball suitable for tossing with marinara over spaghetti. Except it didn’t quite work out that way. The meatballs, while certainly delicious, were both too tangy and too sweet to pair with your basic pasta sauce. So I tried them in a curry
sauce. Indian food is particularly welcoming to that play of sweet and heat, tangy and savory. But that wasn’t quite right, either. I was resistant to changing the meatballs themselves. Because while they didn’t partner well with anything I’d tried, I still thought they were good. And they certainly were worth salvaging. Then it hit me. Embrace the tangy, sweet-and-savory side of these meatballs. Turn them into party food. And so I ended up with these cocktail meatballs, perfect for setting out with toothpicks for a holiday gathering. And it turned out the sauce couldn’t have been simpler — tomatoes and cranberry sauce.

Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cilantro, jalapenos, garlic, fennel, oregano, onion powder,

Divide the mixture into 50 balls, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per ball. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the meatballs for 20 minutes. Increase heat to broil and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry sauce and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. When the meatballs are done, arrange on a platter, then spoon the cranberry mixture over them. Serve with toothpicks.
Ricotta: A ‘recooked’ cheese that tastes anything but BY J.M. HIRSCH
Ricotta-crab quiche bites
Associated Press
When it comes to food, “recooked” isn’t generally a term met with much affection. The dairy world, however, gives us a ¿ne exception in ricotta cheese. Ricotta — Italian for recooked — isn’t exactly a stranger to most Americans, who tend to love it in their lasagna and stuffed pasta shells. But as cheeses go, its versatility is vastly underappreciated, mostly because few people realize how it’s made, or why that matters for how they use it. So let’s start there. Ricotta got its name because it is made literally by recooking the liquid left over from making other cheese, often mozzarella. This is possible because when the mozzarella or other cheeses are made, most but not all of the protein is removed from the liquid, usually cow’s milk. That leftover protein can be recooked and coagulated using a different process. The result is a soft, granular cheese with a texture somewhere between yogurt and cottage cheese. The taste is mild, milky, salty and slightly acidic. In Italy, there are many variet-

In the U.S., most grocers carry only the more perishable soft, moist variety sold in tubs. So, what should you do with it? Q You know it’s great with pasta, but it also pairs wonderfully with that other Italian import — pizza! Top a red or white pizza with mounds of ricotta and bake as you normally would. Q Fill overturned portobello mushroom caps with ricotta
mixed with chopped fresh herbs and garlic, then grill over medium heat until the bottoms are browned and the cheese is hot. Q Spike ricotta with honey and cinnamon, then layer in wide glasses with fresh berries for a parfait. Q Cut slits into boneless, skinless chicken breasts, then spoon herbed ricotta into the center. Dredge the stuffed chicken breasts through egg, Àour and panko breadcrumbs, then bake.
Heat the oven to 400 F. Arrange the ¿lo cups on a rimmed baking sheet. In a blender, combine the ricotta, eggs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Blend until very smooth. Stir the crab meat into the egg mixture. Carefully spoon a bit of the mixture into each ¿lo cup, ¿lling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle a bit of Parmesan over each cup, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the ¿lling is set and starting to brown. The quiche bites can be served hot, room temperature or chilled.

Woman deep in love triangle has trouble thinking straight DEAR ABBY: I am a 31-year-old, never-married mother of two. Last summer I started having an affair with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jordan,â&#x20AC;? the father of my first child. He left me when our daughter was a year old and has been engaged for three years in an on-again, off-again relationship. I could give you excuses about why the affair started up again, but the truth is we both knew it was wrong and continued to do it anyway. I never stopped loving him and I thought it would bring him back to me. Today I found out from Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancee that they have set their wedding date for next spring. She said they would like for me to come. As if it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby
be painful enough to go to the wedding, his fiancee has also asked me to do her hair for the occasion. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a hairstyl-
ist.) Abby, Jordan and I are still having an affair. I want to tell her, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want him to hate me. I believe this wedding is a big mistake for many reasons, not just the obvious. Please give me some outside advice. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T HELP MYSELF IN OHIO DEAR CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T HELP YOURSELF: OK, the
first thing to do is wake up, smell the coffee and accept that resuming the sexual relationship with Jordan has not had the desired effect. He will be marrying someone else. Next, concentrate on saving yourself and waste no more of your time on him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, if you would like a permanent, monogamous relationship with someone. Jordan has given you ample proof that he is incapable of being faithful to one woman. And last, tell his fiancee that you do not plan to attend the wedding or do her hair because you are in love with Jordan and have been sleeping with him since last summer. DEAR ABBY: I have known my husband for
seven years and I love him very much, but I am no longer â&#x20AC;&#x153;in loveâ&#x20AC;? with him. Somehow along the way the spark has fizzled. We have a wonderful family and have been through so much together. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a divorce. I want to make our marriage work, and so does he. So how do I get my spark back? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SPARKLESS IN TEXAS DEAR SPARKLESS: That you and your husband want your marriage to work means it is capable of being resuscitated. While you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give any details, it is possible that you have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;through so muchâ&#x20AC;? that it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow you to concentrate on each other. Exhaustion and distraction can cause a spark
to fizzle. A way to reignite it would be to spend more time alone together, participate in activities you both enjoy, and make time on a regular basis to talk, relax and touch each other. And if necessary, enlist the services of a licensed marriage counselor. DEAR ABBY: My sister relinquished custody of her kids in a divorce 30 years ago. I recently made contact with them to re-establish lost ties. The contact I made with the daughter has been a wonderful success. The other resulted in complete â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and understandable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rejection. Now my sister, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to open the door, blames me for her
heartache because her son rejected her. Was I wrong for bringing at least one of them back into the family? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SISTER IN THE SOUTH DEAR SISTER: Because you did it over your sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objections, I think you were. While the daughter seems interested in establishing contact â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least for now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your sister has now â&#x20AC;&#x153;lostâ&#x20AC;? her son twice. And if the daughter eventually backs off, your sister will be zero for two. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS By definition, extenuating circumstances are uncommon enough to warrant a special pardon or reduced punishment. If someone needs such a pardon regularly, the problem is perhaps the extenuator and not the circumstance. Venus trine to Uranus favors taking a risk. Note that taking a risk is not the same thing as taking advantage. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may still be experiencing the echoes of a past hurt. But like all reverberations, the signal bounces around, losing impact with each surface it encounters. A faint whisper and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. TAURUS (April 20May 20). People underestimate the benefit of a pleasant personality. Those who can make you smile just because they seem to be enjoying themselves need a larger role in your life. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What seems cute on a
first date might not bring the same warm feeling a few years later. Similarly, what was odd to you many years ago is now such a fixture in your daily life that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised if anyone reacts. CANCER (June 22July 22). Do not rush the getting-to-know-you process. Whether in business, friendship or love, it will be important to get into relationships slowly enough to note and react to each piece of learning along the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone will add fuel to your fire, probably by making you mad. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll set a new goal and then knock yourself out to meet and surpass it, regardless of the challenge involved. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Similar to how night dreaming can lead to a deeper sleep, daydreaming can lead to a deeper experience of your waking life. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll realize something you want and start envisioning scenarios to
take you there. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People are depending on you, which is a big part of what keeps you moving at such a high level of intensity. You become stronger and more trustworthy with every delivered promise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon ponder whether old acquaintances should â&#x20AC;&#x153;be forgot.â&#x20AC;? Today itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky to make efforts to ensure they are not. New business and personal contacts come out of your old address book. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An irresponsible leader is an oxymoron. The one in charge contributes directly to the outcome and will be held accountable. The leader will take the heat of the blame or the warmth of the applause. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put a lot out into the world in the past few weeks, and now you may be feeling
spread thin. Long overdue dividends arrive in the evening. It will feel wonderful to finally hold whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Do what it takes to bring a relationship back into harmonious balance. With your personal life settled, you can get into professional matters with renewed focus. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have a Mensameriting IQ to know people or, more importantly, to know yourself. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remain the smartest person in the room as you assess the social dynamic and determine your role. TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 19). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll amaze friends and family this year with the new ways in which you present yourself and your work. This will be a slow unfolding. In the next six weeks, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work intently on your inner world. Then February brings new connections and practices.
