The spirit of giving this Christmas season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area. Donations are still needed this year for the 19th Annual Corinth Rotary Club / Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund. A $25,000 fund raising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 6. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached. So far, $16,364 has been raised, meaning $8,636 still needs to be raised to make the goal. Donations will be accepted through Jan. 9. Recent donations include $100 from Frank and Katie Dalton; $200 from John U. Potts in memory of Mr. and Mrs. T.R. Dilworth and Mr. and Mrs. Leon Potts; $50 from Florence Glisson in memory of Billy Glisson. Contributions to the Christmas Basket Fund can be made “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person or persons. The tribute will be published in the Daily Corinthian. Donations can be brought by the newspaper office 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or mailed to: Daily Corinthian, Attn.: Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, MS 38835.

Crash badly hurts 2 Basket fund tops $16,300
Breezy, rainy
Alcohol and drugs may be to blame for a two-vehicle wreck that injured six people, including two seriously, at the Rienzi crossing in the edge of Alcorn County on New Year’s Eve. Sarah Huggins, 31, of Rienzi, was traveling west bound on HWY 356 around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday night in a 2009 Toyota Camry sedan. As she attempted to cross U.S. Highway 45, Huggins failed to yield to oncoming traffic and pulled into the path of a 2010 Nissan Armada SUV driven by Jeffery Wildmon, 31, of
Booneville. Wildmon’s family -- his 31-year-old wife, Allison, and their two small children -- were passengers inside the SUV. “Wildmon, among with his three passengers, were properly restrained and received only minor injuries from the crash,” said Public Affairs Officer and Trooper Ray Hall. Huggins was airlifted with life threating injuries to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. Huggins passenger, Timothy M. Brassfield, 31, of Rienzi, was also airlifted to NMMC with life threating in-
juries. One other passenger, Jennifer Thomas, 28, of Marietta, was uninjured. “Huggins nor any of the occupants in her vehicle were wearing a seatbelt,” said Hall. “Due to physical evidence collected at the scene from Huggins’s vehicle, it appears alcohol and drugs may have contributed to the crash.” Charges are pending after the investigation has been completed. The Alcorn County wreck was one of 33 traffic accidents reported on Mississippi highways on New Year’s Eve.
Legislators: Education will be the hottest topic of 2015 BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
When the state legislative session begins early next week, education will most definitely be the hottest topic among Jackson political figures. “Education will be a challenge again,” said District 4 U.S. Senator Rita Potts Parks (R-Alcorn, Tippah, Tishomingo). “To do what is best for our young people I believe all options, including Common Core, should be on the table.” As questions about Common Core and whether to fully fund education continue, the Crossroads area’s legislative representatives will provide their opinions during the 90day 2015 session scheduled to

Carpenter
kick off Tuesday at the capital. District 2 Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn) hopes to continue to reform education in positive ways. “We recently met in the education committee and talked about a number of issues,” he said. “I expect Common Core to be discussed and debated.” The question is whether to change the current Common
Core academic standards the state Board of Education put into place in 2010. A topic of discussion for over a year, Parks Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves (R) said the state’s Common Core academic standards had been hijacked by the federal government in order to control education at the state level. Reeves said he hopes to see a task force created during the upcoming session to create Mississippi’s own academic

The heat of a heavy political year will begin to rise Monday with the opening of candidate qualifying for county, state and legislative races. With Jan. 1 and 2 both declared holidays this year, the start of qualifying shifts to Monday. The first day of qualifying usually brings out a crowd of hopefuls. With Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell predicting a record number of candidates this year, Monday is likely to be no exception. Several posts anticiPlease see QUALIFYING | 2A
Tourism tax up 9 percent BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Sales activity continued on a brisk pace for the new fiscal year as the city saw growth in its share of sales tax proceeds returned to the city in December. The mid-December deposits reflect sales activity in local establishments during the month of October. The sales tax diversion sent $489,097.24 to the city coffers, an increase of 4 percent ($20,190.25) from a year earlier, while the 2 percent tourism tax on prepared food and lodging generated $101,036.47, a gain of almost 9

Man makes lengthy recovery after wreck BY DEBORAH PUGH For the Daily Corinthian
Kevin Miles of Booneville has had quite a year. Things went from normal to devastating in an instant and now, thankfully, to a new kind of normal. On Jan. 25, Miles had just replaced the carburetor on his son’s four-wheeler and was testing it out on the paved road by his house. “I swerved to miss our dogs and the fourwheeler started flipping,” said the 36-year-old father of three. “Or that’s what people tell me what happened. I don’t remember anything from two weeks before the accident until sometime this summer.” The CareFlight medical helicopter crew flew Miles from the scene to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, where he underwent multiple surgeries. While he suffered few wounds and only one broken bone (collarbone), he had a traumatic brain injury because he was riding without a helmet. “I’ve wished 100 times over I would have had on a helmet,” he said. “I tell my kids now, I don’t care if you are just riding by the house, you put on a helmet.” Miles spent four months in an induced coma while his brain healed. “We went through about nine critical episodes
where we almost lost him each time,” said his father, Curtis Miles Sr., also of Booneville. “It has been a long, hard struggle. It’s bad to see your child laying there completely helpless.” His son had been a strapping young man who managed several rental properties and had just launched his own heating and air conditioning business. The accident brought all of that activity to a screeching halt. “I lost my voice and my ability to swallow, and I was blind in one eye,” he said. He received all his nourishment through a feeding tube, and he battled infections and seizures. “The first time I saw Kevin, he was non-verbal, unable to move much, and the only way he communicated with me was through blinking his eyes,” said Aurora Wong, M.D., a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician on NMMC’s medical staff. When he was strong enough to be transferred to NMMC’s Rehabilitation Institute, he worked extremely hard every day with physical, occupational and speech-language therapists. “When I first got to Rehab, I was in a wheelchair. It took three people to get me moving — two to hold me up and someone behind me pushing my legs
to walk,” he said. “I could only walk about 10 feet at a time, then I’d have to sit down and rest. Then I could get up and go 10 more feet, then rest again.” “I really expected him to go to a nursing home from the hospital,” Dr. Wong said. “Some people just get really depressed and just give up. But all of our staff believed in him. We worked diligently to improve him medically, physically and mentally.” Coming back from such a devastating injury is slow going. “Our average length of stay in the Rehabilitation Institute is about two weeks,” Dr. Wong said. “But he just kept getting better. We knew he had it in him and kept going. It paid off.” True to his personality, Miles left NMMC shooting a water gun at the staff on his way out. Everyone predicted at least a year to pass before Miles would be walking on his own, but he was determined to prove them wrong. He and his full-time caregiver, JoLeena Nance, practice walking around his property and around nearby Bay Springs Lake. By fall he was walking, or “hobbling” as he calls it, without help. “Until this, I was healthy as a horse and not scared of anybody or anything,” he said. “I’m

Mississippi groups fight Obama health law back in play carbon emission limits BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press
BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi regulators and utilities are savaging the federal government’s proposal to force Mississippi power plants to cut carbon dioxide emissions. In comments filed in December, leaders of utilities, state agencies and business groups called the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan illegal, infeasible and economically unbearable. The EPA announced specific targets for all the states in June, accepting comments through Dec. 1, with plans to finalize the rule in 2015. The proposal calls for Mississippi’s power plants to emit 38 percent less carbon dioxide in 2030 than in 2005. In a Mississippi fact sheet released in June, the Obama administration said the plan would help Mississippi improve health by cutting asthma, as well as stabilizing the climate to prevent harmful changes in the weather. A number of environmental groups are supporting the effort.
“The Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed Clean Power Plan for existing power plants will cut carbon pollution and save thousands of lives a year while strengthening our power grid and keeping electricity affordable,” the Natural Resources Defense Council wrote in October. But almost all the Mississippi respondents claimed EPA was overstepping its legal authority. “EPA is attempting to federalize this nation’s energy policy, resulting in forcing the states to abandon their constitutionally derived sovereign rights,” wrote Gary Rikard, executive director of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. “EPA hides behind a fig leaf of federalism and flexibility while in effect forcing major changes to the states’ administration of electricity generation and consumption.” Rikard was appointed by Gov. Phil Bryant, who signed a letter with 14 other Republican governors opposing the plan. Bryant favors letting
states set their own energy policy. EPA said Mississippi could choose how to meet the goal. But opponents say that claim of flexibility is a mirage. They note EPA’s own projections show all of Mississippi’s existing coal-fired plants will have to close to meet the target. Even then, though, it may be impossible because EPA’s proposed emission rates are below those released by existing natural gas plants. “It is not possible for Mississippi to rely on gas-fired generation to manage the challenges of increasing the levels of renewable energy and energy efficiency,” wrote the Mississippi Public Service Commission. Emissions in Mississippi are already below national averages because the state depends on natural gas and nuclear generation. But Mississippi would have to cut emissions more than the nationwide projected cut of 30 percent, said Michael Callahan, CEO of Electric Power Associations of Mississippi.
WASHINGTON — New episodes in the nation’s long-running political drama over health care are coming via your news feed in 2015. The fate of President Barack Obama’s health care law again hangs in the balance as the Supreme Court weighs another legal challenge to the program, now covering millions of people. And a Republican-led Congress prepares for more votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act, ignoring threatened vetoes by the president. Some things to know about health care in the year ahead:
The main event in the courts The biggest health care news of 2015 probably won’t come from Congress or the White House, but the Supreme Court. The court has agreed to hear another lawsuit that goes to the heart of Obama’s strategy for providing health insurance to people who can’t get coverage through their jobs. The case will be argued
TAXES
early in March, with a decision expected late in June. The plaintiffs contend that the law as written only allows the government to subsidize coverage in states that have set up their own their own health insurance markets, or exchanges. With Washington currently running the markets in 37 states, much of the law’s coverage expansion could unravel if the Supreme Court agrees. It would be a moment of truth for the law’s opponents and its supporters alike.
Does anybody have a plan B? If the Supreme Court rules against Obama, both sides would need a fallback plan, and quickly. Opponents of the health care law would face the prospect of more than 4 million people losing federal subsidies that cover about 75 percent of their premiums. Most of those consumers would wind up uninsured again, and presumably none too happy. The president would have to contemplate going hat-in-hand to the
Republican leadership of Congress to ask for fixes to his signature legislation, possibly opening up other contentious issues in the law. Republican governors and state legislators would have a choice, too. They could establish insurance exchanges, or watch many of their constituents lose coverage.
Repeal-a-thon With the Senate and the House both under Republican leadership, expect dozens more congressional votes to repeal “Obamacare,” whether in whole or in part. It’s not clear that full repeal can get through the Senate, where Democrats retain sufficient strength to block legislation by using procedural maneuvers. But some provisions of the law are also unpopular with significant numbers of Democrats, and bills to roll those back may emerge from Congress. Examples: a requirement that 30 hours per week counts as fulltime employment, a tax on medical device manufacturers, and a Medicare cost control board.

percent ($8,170.10) from a year earlier. The trend of sales tax recovery from the recession continues with a 13th consecutive monthly increase. The year-to-date total of $1.475 million is up 8 percent from the same point a year earlier. Collections also showed growth across the state for the latest reported month with an increase of 4 percent. For the month, gross retail sales in Corinth totaled
$72.42 million, compared to $63.6 million a year earlier. The largest category, retail trade, totaled $46 million, while wholesale trade was second at $9.8 million, according to the Mississippi Department of Revenue. The tourism tax has generated $296,338.89 in the first three months of the fiscal year, up 13 percent from the same point in the prior year. Other sales tax results from the region (percentages rounded): ■ Booneville — $152,091.57 (+6%)

hard on myself because I feel like now I’m a puny thing. But I know I’m blessed to be here, and I have to thank the Lord every day for that.” Miles may feel puny because he went from working out “all the time” to being unable to do anything for himself, but his physicians and therapists say he’s anything but. After eye surgery, his vision slowly returned. And thanks to his diligent work with speech therapist Brigitta Walker at NMMC’s Outpatient Rehabilitation Center,
he’s back to eating almost anything he wants. “I see Brigitta every week, and every so often I have a swallow test,” he said. “I passed off on thick liquids first, then I finally passed off on thin liquids. Not long ago she said I could have pizza, so then I started eating whatever I could so long as I take small bites. A few weeks ago I had my first Pepsi since the accident.” This year is one the Miles family will never forget. But they also learned a steadfast truth that has seen them through the darkest of days. “The Lord answers prayers,” his father said.

standards. Gov. Phil Bryant (R) has said he also supports replacing Common Core. However, according to Mississippi Board of Education member O. Wayne Gann, the academic standards the state is currently using were developed with a partnership with other states with no interaction with the federal government. “The name, Common Core, is misleading,” Gann said. “These are Mississippi standards, start to finish.” The current standards stress critical-thinking skills instead of memorization and is built to bet-

ter prepare students for college and careers. Various Tea Party groups have been vocal in their opposition to Common Core, which has fueled the statewide rumblings and the forth coming introduction of new standards. “The Governor, Lt. Governor and Speaker of the House have voiced concerns about Common Core,” said District 1 Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo). “As President of the Conservative Collation of the Mississippi House of Representatives, I know that legislation has been drafted and will be introduced early in the session to address these concerns.” The second biggest issue as the new year begins is the full funding of the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, better known as MAEP. The citizen-sponsored initiative will be one of Carpenter’s top priorities early in
the session. “I plan to support legislation that will be a workable MAEP funding formula, unlike the current formula,” said the Burnsville native. “The current formula is four pages long and has only been fully funded twice in the last 14 years. I think everyone can agree, we need to have a working model that we can fully fund each and every year.” Carpenter said education funding is currently based on a bill passed a few years ago stating a child must be present a minimum of 63 percent of the instructional day. “Superintendents across the state, and in my district, have expressed this funding mechanism is not realistic and is hurting the districts financially,” he said. “In the up coming session, we will revisit this legislation and hopefully get a better model that will not be so costly to the districts.”

2015 begins with tragedy, fireworks
Today in History
The Associated Press
Revelers crowded New York’s Times Square and converged on the beaches of Brazil and skyscrapers of Dubai to say good riddance to a turbulent 2014 marred by terror woes, Ebola outbreaks and a horrific series of airline disasters. A look around the world:
Today is Friday, Jan. 2, the second day of 2015. There are 363 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 2, 1965, New York Jets owner Sonny Werblin signed University of Alabama quarterback Joe Namath to a contract reportedly worth $427,000.
Stampede in Shanghai Thirty-six people were killed in a stampede during New Year’s celebrations in downtown Shanghai, city officials said. The deaths — the worst disaster to hit one of China’s showcase cities in years — occurred a halfhour before midnight at Shanghai’s popular riverfront Bund area, which can be jammed with spectators for major events. A Shanghai government statement said Thursday that another 47 people were receiving hospital treatment, including 13 who were seriously injured. The official Xinhua News Agency quoted an unnamed witness as saying people had scrambled for coupons that looked like dollar bills that were being thrown out of a third-floor window. It said the cause of the stampede was under investigation.
On this date: In 1788, Georgia became the fourth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1893, the U.S. Postal Service issued its first commemorative stamp to honor the World’s Columbian Expedition and the quadricentennial of Christopher Columbus’ voyage. In 1900, Secretary of State John Hay announced the “Open Door Policy” to facilitate trade with China. In 1921, religious services were broadcast on radio for the first time as KDKA in Pittsburgh aired the regular Sunday service of the city’s Calvary Episcopal Church. In 1935, Bruno Hauptmann went on trial in Flemington, New Jersey, on charges of kidnapping and murdering the 20-month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh. (Hauptmann was found guilty, and executed.) In 1942, the Philippine capital of Manila was captured by Japanese forces during World War II. In 1955, the president of Panama, Jose Antonio Remon Cantera, was assassinated. In 1960, Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts launched his successful bid for the presidency. In 1971, 66 people were killed in a pileup of spectators leaving a soccer match at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1974, President Richard Nixon signed legislation requiring states to limit highway speeds to 55 miles an hour as a way of conserving gasoline in the face of an OPEC oil embargo. (The 55 mph limit was effectively phased out in 1987; federal speed limits were abolished in 1995.) “Singing cowboy” star Tex Ritter died in Nashville at age 68. In 1981, police in Sheffield, England, arrested Peter Sutcliffe, who confessed to being the “Yorkshire Ripper,” the serial killer of 13 women. In 2006, 12 miners died in a methane gas explosion at the Sago Mine in West Virginia, but one miner, Randal McCloy Jr., was eventually rescued.
New York, New York A million people crammed into New York’s Times Square welcomed the new year with kisses, hugs and cheers after the giant, Water-
ford crystal ball dropped at midnight and a ton of confetti rained down Mayor Bill de Blasio, flanked by his wife and two children, pushed the ceremonial button that set the 11,875-pound glittering ball in motion. Revelers from around the world waving pink balloons and wearing pink foam hats exchanged good wishes and danced as Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” blared on loudspeakers.
Shivering in the new year New Year’s Eve revelers in bunny costumes — the corsets and fishnets kind — and designer suits walking down the Vegas strip Wednesday night had scarves wrapped around their necks against temperatures expected to drop into the 20s. Occasional flurries fell, but none stuck around long enough to be snow. Laura Mayo of Las Vegas was wearing a plush fur coat, but not shivering bunny Rechelle Sheridan. “It takes away from the costume,” the 25-year-old city resident said. Synchronized bursts of color shot from the rooftops of seven casino-hotels along the Las Vegas Strip as fireworks filled the sky, ushering in the new year. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority had said it expected about 340,000 people to attend.
Watching the ball drop The ball drop is a tradition that’s being increas-
ingly copied across the United States with twists celebrating local icons. Among the items being dropped: a big chili in Las Cruces, New Mexico; a replica peach in Atlanta; a musical note in Nashville, Tennessee; a large pine cone in Flagstaff, Arizona; an oversized spurred cowboy boot in Prescott, Arizona; a 600-pound (270-kilogram) walleye made of wood and fiberglass in Port Clinton, Ohio; an 80-pound (36-kilogram) wedge of cheese in Plymouth, Wisconsin; and in Escanaba, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a replica of a pasty — a baked pastry filled with meat and potatoes.
Stray bullet; one injured A 20-year-old woman waiting to see New Year’s fireworks at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida, was struck in the leg by a stray bullet fired from somewhere outside the park. Authorities say no one else was hurt in or around the theme park and the injury wasn’t lifethreatening.
Breaking a record in Dubai The Gulf Arab emirate of Dubai was aiming to break the world record for the largest LED-illuminated facade with its spectacular display centered on the world’s tallest building. Some 70,000 LED panels around the 2,722-foot Burj Khalifa flashed colored lights and projected images of the country’s
leaders when clocks there struck midnight as a massive fireworks display erupted. The celebration draws throngs of thousands of spectators every New Year’s Eve. Emaar Properties said a team from Guinness World Records monitored the preparations. Last year, Dubai won the title for the world’s largest firework display, according to Guinness.
Trying to celebrate in Baghdad In Iraq’s war-scarred capital, Baghdad authorities ordered a one-off lifting of the overnight curfew in force for more than a decade to allow the city’s revelers to stay out late on the streets. Traffic was unusually heavy starting shortly after sunset and authorities closed commercial streets to vehicles in the city’s center as a precaution against possible suicide bombings by militants of the Islamic State terror group.
Wind-swept fire destroys Philippine shanties A huge fire that was believed to have been ignited by firecrackers razed nearly a thousand shanties and killed three people in a creekside slum in the Philippine capital of Manila. It was one of more than a dozen fires across the country linked to raucous New Year’s celebrations. A spokesman for the Bureau of Fire Protection said nearly a thousand houses, mostly shanties and huts, were destroyed,
displacing about 4,000 poor families.
Wasting away in BVI Thousands of partiers arrived on speedboats, yachts and ferries to dance the night away on the tiny Caribbean island of Jost Van Dyke that has long hosted one of the region’s biggest, most uninhibited New Year’s Eve bashes. In the British Virgin Islands, Jost Van Dyke balloons from about 300 full-time residents to roughly 5,000 people each New Year’s Eve as throngs of barefoot, tipsy people groove to reggae bands on white sands and hop from bar to bar. The annual tradition started in the 1960s on the idyllic island — so small it didn’t get electricity until 1992.
At the Copacabana More than 1 million people flocked to the golden sands of Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beach, where two dozen artists and DJs performed on three stages. Tourists and locals routinely party until dawn on the beach, staying awake to watch the tropical sun rise for the first time in 2015. A massive fireworks display that’s blasted from boats on the Atlantic Ocean lit the sky over the crowd, most dressed in all white, a Brazilian tradition to bring purification and a peaceful year. Another tradition calls for partygoers to enter the sea up to their knees and jump over seven waves shortly after the New Year begins, for luck.
Storm brings snow, cold for New Year’s One killed Associated Press
A blustery winter storm dumped snow and ice across the West on Wednesday, making driving treacherous in the mountains from California to the Rockies, and forcing residents and party-goers in some usually sunsoaked cities to bundle up for a frosty New Year’s. Giddy residents in Southern California foothills snapped photos of snow-covered lawns as kids tossed snowballs. In suburban Phoenix, swimming pools and cactus-lined backyards were dusted with snowflakes. Those planning to usher in 2015 along the Las Vegas Strip or watch flower-decorated floats in the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, were bracing for nearfreezing temperatures. Marco Berri, 26, of Brazil, said he would likely buy some scarves and gloves to keep warm in Las Vegas, but the cold wouldn’t keep him inside. “We’re gonna be in the street. It doesn’t matter how cold it is,” said Berri, one of about 340,000 revelers expected to pack the Strip and the downtown Fremont Street area on New Year’s Eve.

Adams said his 12- and 14-yearold daughters were sledding outside his home on bodyboards usually reserved for the beach or pool. He said he has never seen as much snow — half a foot in some places — in the two decades he has lived there. “You’d think you woke up in Tahoe or something,” Adams said. “Our Old Town looks like a ski town.” In Flagstaff, Arizona, as much as 15 inches of snow was expected by New Year’s Day. Pasadena officials urged parade-goers to come ready with layers of clothing and foot- and hand-warmers. The cold snap could hurt the Rose Parade’s famous floral floats. Some of the tropical flowers could turn black, and float builders were using twice the normal amount of glue to affix flowers because of the cold, said Charles Meier, creative director for Paradiso Parade Floats. In Carlsbad, New Mexico, a sold-out New Year’s Eve party was postponed until Friday due to slick, icy roads. Party planner Ric Serrano said a supply truck carrying the party’s alcohol crashed en route to the event.

in Tupelo house fire Associated Press
TUPELO — A 65-yearold woman has died in a fire at her home in Tupelo. Tupelo Fire Investigator Jason Cross says firefighters responded around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday to the fire. Cross says the fire was small and contained to a single room, but there was a lot of heavy smoke. Lee County Coroner Carolyn Green says 65-year-old Dorothy Carolyn Allen was pronounced dead at 12:13 p.m. at the North Mississippi Medical Center. Cross tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal the fire and the death have been ruled an accident. He says the fire started around a kerosene heater that was being used to heat the house.

The storm swept from California into the Mojave Desert and Las Vegas, bringing snow to parts of northern Arizona and New Mexico along the way. Ice and snow also made roads and highways dangerous along the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma. Gusting winds toppled trees throughout California, killing at least three people in the state in recent days. A harbor patrolman and another person were killed after winds broke boats loose from moorings at Santa Catalina Island off the coast of Southern California. Four people were injured after strong winds turned several tents into flying projectiles at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, authorities said. A video posted on YouTube shows several gusts lifting at least three tents with metal posts into the air and across a field as onlookers screamed and ran to get out of the way. More than 180 motorists were rescued after they were stranded by the snow on mountain highways northeast of Los Angeles. Still, many Southern Californians were excited to see snow at their front door. Temecula City Manager Aaron

Corinth, Miss.
Will ‘law and order’ believers act in accordance with the law? OXFORD — It’s not unfair to say good government supports law and order, is it? It’s not unfair to say that a hallmark of good government is that statutes, once passed, remain in effect until changed Charlie or repealed, is it? Mitchell But this is a problem for good government, law and orColumnist der officials when it comes to funding K-12 education. The Legislature passed a law. The Legislature is ignoring it. And it’s not due to a lack of money or any emergency or crisis. The Mississippi Legislature apparently just doesn’t want the state to do what they said the state must do. And that’s big deal — or should be — in a state where people strongly believe that laws say what they say and mean what they mean. Think about it. When President Obama recently used/abused executive powers to help people illegally in America “come out of the shadows” and, a week or so later, announced his decision to change American policy toward the communists who rule Cuba, law and order people went apoplectic. How can he ignore statutes? How can he bypass Congress? Well, apply that same conversation to the Mississippi Adequate Education Act, first passed in 1997. To be honest, 17 years ago were not suddenly overcome with affection for public schools. The school funding law was passed under pressure. States without balanced education finance plans were being sued and forced to act (raise taxes) by the federal government. But those really were pretty good times for schools. A six-year plan of pay raises was also enacted for teachers. The fiscal future looked bright. But for this year — and under projections for the budget year starting in July 2015 — the formulas will not be funded again. The state does have the money. The state can afford to follow its law, but is choosing not to do so. That’s a big deal. Or should be. For this year, the money that could have funded the formulas completely was placed in a reserve “rainy day” fund. For the coming year, two leading Democrats, Rep. Cecil Brown of Jackson and Sen. Hob Bryan of Amory, point out that while 3 percent revenue growth is projected, the budget committee nor the governor propose full funding. It’s possible this is a fit of legislative pique. Former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove is representing several school district suing the state for back payments the districts contend they are owed under the law as passed. Separately, a citizen petition by the Better Schools/Better Jobs coalition has been certified for the November ballot. It also demands funds be provided under the law as passed. All of this leaves state elected officials with two choices. With their law and order caps on, they could step up and ’fess up. They could say schools don’t need all that money, vote to amend the law, cancel the formulas and hope the U.S. Department of Education doesn’t sue. But such a vote would be seen as against public schools, which still have some public support even if they don’t have much clout in the Capitol. The alternative is to do nothing and hope voters don’t notice, but that’s risky, too. In November, voters may see the names of candidates seeking re-election right beside a ballot initiative demanding they adhere to the formulas they set. Embarrassing? Yes. But lawmakers painted themselves into this corner. Are they people who support schools? Are they people who believe laws should be followed? There’s plenty of time for treachery and misdirection, but the fundamental question is clear: Y’all passed the law. What’s the right thing to do? (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, my heart burns with shame when I think how much I claim, and how little I am. I pray that my body may not cast a shadow to-day, and cloud the light of my life to-morrow. Cleanse the windows of my soul that I may take in thy glory. Amen.
A verse to share Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. Deuteronomy 4:39
Our traditional institutions are in decline In the film “Girl Interrupted,” Winona Ryder plays an 18-year-old who enters a mental institution for what is diagnosed as borderline personality disorder. The year is 1967 and the country is in turmoil over Vietnam and civil rights. While lying on her bed one night and watching TV, she sees a news report about a demonstration. The narrator says something that might apply to today’s turmoil: “We live in a time of doubt. The institutions we once trusted no longer seem reliable.” As 2014 ends, the stock market is at record highs but our traditional institutions and self-confidence are in decline. A Pew Research Center study confirms one trend that has been obvious over several years. The “typical” American family is no longer typical. Just 46 percent of American children now live in homes with their married, heterosexual parents. Five percent have no parents at home. They most likely are living with grandparents, says the study.
These startling figures about the decline of the American family contrast with Cal the year 1960 Thomas when 73 percent of AmerColumnist ican children lived in traditional families. A major contributor to this trend has been the assault on marriage and other institutions by the Baby Boom generation. It was that generation that promoted cohabitation, nofault divorce, hatred of the police (they called them “pigs” then, too) and disdain for the military and America, spawned not just by the Vietnam War but a life of relative ease unknown to their parents. The culture bomb dropped by the boomers created fallout still being felt today. The two-plus generations born since the Sixties have been infused with the notion of entitlement, victimhood, envy and greed. Since the elimination of the draft, young people
are no longer expected to serve in the military and so most of them pursue whatever goals they wish with no expectation they should give something back to their country. It’s one possible explanation for why we can no longer seem to win wars. History warns us what happens when empires refuse to teach known values that strengthen societies and help protect them from enemies intent on their destruction. The late British diplomat Sir John Glubb wrote a book called “The Fate of Empires and Search For Survival.” Glubb noted the average age of empires since the time of ancient Assyria (859-612 B.C.) is 250 years. Only the Mameluke Empire in Egypt and the Levant (1250-1517) made it as far as 267 years. America is 238 years old and is exhibiting signs of decline. All empires begin, writes Glubb, with the age of pioneers, followed by ages of conquest, commerce, affluence, intellect and decadence. America appears to have reached the age of decadence, which Glubb de-
fines as marked by “defensiveness, pessimism, materialism, frivolity, an influx of foreigners, the welfare state, (and) a weakening of religion.” Decadence, he writes, “is due to: Too long a period of wealth and power, selfishness, love of money (and) the loss of a sense of duty.” Do these not define America at the end of 2014? Glubb says the 250-year average of empires has not varied in 3,000 years, but we don’t learn from history because “our studies are brief and prejudiced.” He means they are mostly about one’s own country. It will take more than a new Congress in 2015 and a new president in 2017 to save us from the fate of other empires. It will take a revival of the American spirit, and that can only come through changed attitudes towards our institutions and each other.

Comparing the two most Republican Houses Before Christmas, Arizona finished its 2nd Congressional District recount, showing Republican Martha McSally beating incumbent Democrat Ron Barber by 167 votes. This means there will be 247 Republicans in the House in the 114th Congress – one more than was elected to the House in the 80th Congress in 1946. It’s the most Republican House since the one elected in 1928, a year when very few of today’s voters were alive. But while the party numbers are almost precisely the same in the Houses elected this year and 68 years ago, the composition of the two parties’ caucuses (the Republicans call theirs a conference) is sharply different. One reason is that the reapportionment of House seats following the seven censuses from 1950 to 2010 has shifted many seats from the Northeast, Midwest and Mississippi Valley to Texas, South Atlantic and Western states. Altogether, 100 seats have been transferred from 27 states to 17 other states. Only six small states have the same number of seats as they did in 1946. The big losers have been New York (down 18 seats), Pennsylvania (down 15), Illinois (down 8) and Ohio (down 7). The big gainers have

been California (up 30), Florida (up 21) and Texas (up 15). The House Republican Michael Conference Barone that assembled in JanuColumnist ary 1947 was dominated by members from New York (28), Pennsylvania (28), Illinois (20) and Ohio (19). Most came from courthouse towns and sought to roll back the New Deal. They had the votes to override because the House Democratic Caucus included many conservatives in 1947. A majority of its members – 117 of 189 – came from the South (defined here as the 11 old Confederate states plus West Virginia, Kentucky and Oklahoma). The largest state delegation was from Texas, including former and future Speaker Sam Rayburn and future President Lyndon Johnson. Only one Northern state, New York, elected more than 10 Democrats. Freshman Rep. John Kennedy’s party was outnumbered 9-5 in the Massachusetts delegation. This 80th House provided crucial bipartisan support for Truman’s Cold War policies, including the expensive Marshall Plan. One Michigan Republican
who balked was beaten in the next primary by a young lawyer named Gerald Ford. Bipartisanship was possible on contemporary issues because the party divisions reflected the distant past. The Democratic Party, which 85 years earlier had been skeptical about waging the Civil War, carried Southern seats 117-11. The Republican Party, which had backed the war, carried Northern seats 235-72. The divisions in the 114th House, in contrast, reflect contemporary divisions. The House Republican Conference is tilted toward the South, but not as heavily as Democrats were in 1947. Of its 247 members, 114 are from Southern states, and its largest state delegations are from Texas (25) and Florida (217). Republicans’ margin in Southern seats is 114-38. Most Southern Democrats are from blackor Hispanic-majority districts or those with a Northern cultural flavor (South Florida, Northern Virginia, Austin). But Democrats lead in Northern seats by only 150133. Northern Republicans come mainly from suburbs, not small towns as in 1947. They tend to represent growing areas rather than those that are losing steam. The House Democratic Caucus is heavily coastal. The largest state delegation

by far is from California, with 39 seats – one-fifth of the total. This helps to account for Nancy Pelosi’s strength in her caucus, though she lost a key committee fight last month. As was apparent on the Cromnibus vote, when 67 Republicans bucked their leadership and 57 Democrats differed from Pelosi, neither conference nor caucus is monolithic. The House Democratic Caucus almost unanimously supports big government policies and cultural liberalism. The more diverse (on ideas and increasingly in race, ethnicity and gender) House Republican Conference favors reining in big government but lacks clear consensus on how to do it. House Republicans lost their majority in 1948 but made important changes in public policy that were permanent or long lasting. Pelosi tried to do the same in 2009 and 2010. Can House Republicans succeed in reversing or significantly adjusting those policies? Not clear.

Fake bar helps test anti-drinking drug WASHINGTON — The tequila sure looks real, so do the beer taps. Inside the hospital at the National Institutes of Health, researchers are testing a possible new treatment to help heavy drinkers cut back — using a replica of a fully stocked bar. The idea: Sitting in the dimly lit bar-laboratory should cue the volunteers’ brains to crave a drink, and help determine if the experimental pill counters that urge. True, there’s no skunky bar odor; these bottles are filled with colored water. The real alcohol is locked in the hospital pharmacy, ready to send over for the extra temptation of smell — and to test how safe the drug is if people drink anyway. “The goal is to create almost a real-world environment, but to control it very strictly,” said lead researcher Dr. Lorenzo Leggio, who is testing how a hormone named ghrelin that sparks people’s appetite for food also affects their desire for alcohol, and if blocking it helps. Amid all the yearly resolutions to quit, alcohol use disorders affect about 17 million Americans, and only a small fraction receives treatment. There’s no one-size-fits-all therapy, and the NIH is spurring a hunt for new medications that target the brain’s addiction cycle in different ways — and to find out which options work best in which drinkers.
GOP legislators halt Medicaid expansion WASHINGTON — Governors across the political spectrum are hitting a roadblock in their bids to expand Medicaid with federal funds: Republican legislators who adamantly oppose “Obamacare.” While some of these governors themselves have criticized the president’s health care law in general, they’ve come to see one component — Medicaid expansion — as too generous to reject. But they’re battling conservative lawmakers who say it’s better to turn down billions of federal dollars than to expand Medicaid under the 2010 law. Partisan politics have driven states’ Medicaid decisions ever since the Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that expan-
sion was optional, not mandatory, under the new law. Within months, every Democratic governor agreed to expand Medicaid (although Republican legislatures blocked a few of those efforts). Only nine states with Republican governors accepted the offer. Medicaid, the health insurance program for low-income and disabled people, covers about 65 million Americans, more than one in five. The federal government will pay the full expansion cost for the first three years, and gradually reduce the subsidy to 90 percent. That’s more than the traditional Medicaid federal match to states. The law expanded Medicaid eligibility to adults with annual incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. That will qualify an individual making less than $16,105, and a family of four earning less than $32,913. So far, 27 states have agreed to expand Medicaid. But several more, including some with Republican governors, now want in.
Pending home sales rose in November WASHINGTON — The number of Americans signing contracts to buy homes rose modestly in November as a strengthening economy helped nudge some would-be homebuyers. The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index climbed 0.8 percent the past month to 104.8 from a revised 104 in October. The index remains slightly below its 2013 average but is 4.1 percent higher than last November. Pending sales are a barometer of future purchases. A one- to twomonth lag usually exists between a contract and a completed sale. The number of contract signings increased in the Northeast, South and West last month, while declining in the Midwest. “Home sales activity will likely continue to be uninspiring in the months ahead,” Laura Rosner, an economist at BNP Paribas, said in a research note to clients. Housing has struggled to fully rebound since the recession ended more than five years ago. Many potential buyers lack the savings and strong credit history needed to

afford a home, causing them to rent or remain in their existing houses instead of upgrading. Higher home prices and relatively stagnant incomes have also curtailed buying. Separate NAR data last week showed that sales of existing homes fell 6.1 percent in November to the slowest pace in six months,
Applications for jobless aid on rise WASHINGTON — More Americans sought unemployment benefits last week, but the number of applications continues to be at historically low levels that suggest solid economic growth will continue. The Labor Department said Wednesday that applications for unemployment benefits climbed 17,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 298,000. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose 250 to 290,750. That average has plummeted 17.5 percent in the past 12 months. “The claims data still point to relatively upbeat conditions in the labor market,” said Daniel Silver, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, noting that there are routinely ups and downs in the weekly figures. Applications are a proxy for layoffs. For almost four months, applications for jobless aid have hovered at relatively low sub-300,000 levels. That suggests that employers expect strong economic growth to continue, causing them to hold onto their staff and potentially hire additional workers. As fewer people have sought unemployment benefits, job growth has steadily accelerated and helped fuel the economy. The economy expanded at an annualized rate of 5 percent during the July-September quarter, the strongest performance in 11 years. That follows a 4.6 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter, the government reported last week.

2 arrested in fatal Natchez shooting NATCHEZ — Natchez police have arrested two people in connection to the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old Natchez teenager. Police Department Lt. Craig Godbold tells The Natchez Democrat that an 18-year-old and a 15-year-old were arrested Wednesday. Each was charged with armed robbery and murder. Godbold says Jessie Taylor died Sunday after being shot during an alleged confrontation with the two other teenagers. Taylor died at Natchez Regional Medical Center. Godbold says investigators believe robbery was the motive in the shooting.
Ex-Forrest County jail employee dies HATTIESBURG — A former Forrest County jail supervisor who pleaded guilty in federal court to theft and mail fraud charges in the theft of food has died. Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict tells WDAM-TV that 61-yearold Allen Haralson died at Forrest General Hospital Tuesday night. Benedict says an autopsy has been ordered. Haralson was employed as the kitchen supervisor at the detention center. Haralson pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett on Nov. 21 and was scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 5. Haralson had remained free on bail. Prosecutors say the
diversion of food and food-related items to Haralson and others took place between 2002 and 2014.
Adams County seeks to lure new industry NATCHEZ — The Adams County Board of Supervisors has taken out a 12-18 month option on 70 acres of the former site of International Paper for a new industrial project. “It is our intention that their project either comes to fruition in that time frame or we will move something else,” Natchez Inc. Executive Director Chandler Russ told The Natchez Democrat. “This is not a situation where it will be tied up for many years and we are receiving option payments, because that is not what we intend,” he said. Russ won’t identify the company. He said it can be described as “a gastoliquids project” that
could bring with it 200 new jobs. Russ said an official announcement about the project could come within 30 days. He said the company is currently securing permits and seeking funding, Russ said.
DUI appeal goes to U.S. high court JACKSON — The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Jan. 16 whether to hear an appeal from a Mississippi man seeking to a new trial for an aggravated DUI conviction related to a 2012 accident that left a woman in a coma for weeks. Court officials say a decision could be announced shortly after the court conference Frank Gideon Whitaker IV, now 29, is serving a 15-year-sentence from Warren County. Authorities say Whitaker’s truck collided headon with a vehicle driven by 54-year-old Cynthia M. Grantham.

“Younger kids here do have better relationships with whites today. But with older folks there’s still a great divide.”
Associated Press
LIVE OAK, Fla. — On a sticky hot Sunday in August 1952, a wealthy black woman named Ruby McCollum walked through the “colored entrance” of a doctor’s office in the small north Florida town of Live Oak and fatally shot a white doctor, state Sen.-elect Clifford Leroy Adams. Prosecutors told the allwhite, all-male jury that McCollum shot the doctor after an argument over a $116 bill. Yet she was the wife of a prominent businessman who ran a gambling outfit, and she was carrying around $1,800 in her purse on the day she shot him. She testified that Adams, the son of a powerful political family who was known around town for caring for the poor, had forced her into a long sexual relationship that resulted in an unwanted child, and that she shot him in self-defense. The case is the focus of a new documentary titled “You Belong To Me,” which compiles a decade of research and interviews with family members, reopening old wounds in this small Southern town nestled amid farm country. The slaying stirred racial tensions in Jim Crow-era Suwannee County, when robed Ku Klux Klansmen regularly marched through Main Street in a show of force and lynchings were common in the Deep South. “Both families were negatively affected by this tragedy. A doctor and a wealthy powerful couple in town were gone in a flash,” said Eric Musgrove, a local historian and court clerk who give talks on the case to
Alonzo Philmore Ex-NAACP chapter president schools and other groups. McCollum was found guilty and sentenced to death at her first trial but later avoided execution by winning an insanity plea. She was eventually moved to a state mental hospital, and then freed in 1974 after the state’s high court found her legally insane. She died in 1992. The sordid tale of sex, race and violence has inspired others to tell McCollum’s story, with different conclusions about her motivations. William Bradford Huie’s book “The Crime of Ruby McCollum” inspired the new documentary. In his telling, McCollum’s relationship with Adams was consensual, and she became a drug addict and killed him after losing her mind. McCollum had been receiving injections of some kind of intoxicating substance from Adams, but it was unclear whether she sought them out or he used the drugs to take advantage of her. Huie’s conclusion didn’t seem right to the documentary’s producer Jude Hagin, a Florida film com-
missioner who discovered Huie’s book 14 years ago. Family members told Hagin and the film’s researchers that McCollum was well-educated and prosperous and that the family believed the doctor had used drugs to control her. “I could not wrap my head around the story, that a woman of Ruby McCollum’s stature ... would see anything that could be a good future for her to have a sexual relationship with a white doctor,” Hagin said. Trial transcripts from 1952 show that Ruby told jurors that she felt pressure to do what Adams told her to do, though the jury was told to disregard much of her testimony after the judge allowed dozens of objections from prosecutors. “I was just so worried, I had to either yield or maybe die, I suppose that was what would happen,” Ruby McCollum testified, according to trial transcripts. The film’s researchers also found that Adams had a dark side that jurors never saw. In Live Oak, he was a respected doctor who helped the poor — but records show he forged letters of recommendations to get into medical school. Also, McCollum testified that Adams had a friend deliver the baby they had together and that she never received a birth certificate. He needed to hide the baby because it was around the time he was running for state senate. Sam McCollum Jr., one of McCollum’s children, told the filmmakers that a white doctor in the Jim Crow-era South was akin to a “God in the community.” In the black community, the McCollum case was
spoken of only in whispers, said Tameka Hobbs, a history professor at Florida Memorial University who grew up in Live Oak. “With Ruby there was so much shame in the black community because of the sexual liaison, they really did not want to talk about it,” Hobbs said. “You Belong to Me” doesn’t give viewers a definitive conclusion, but it sheds new light on the case and has sparked new discussions about race. Musgrove, the local historian, is receiving more requests for presentations on the case. Hagin hopes the documentary helps inspire funding for a feature film, which actor James Brolin has signed on to direct, should they get the money. Live Oak today is a much different town than the one where Adams was slain, but the ornate 1904 courthouse where the McCollum trial took place is still the largest building around. And issues of race still make headlines. The Southern Poverty Law Center in 2012 filed a federal civil rights complaint after a study found black children in Suwannee County and four other Florida school districts were punished or arrested at a higher rate than other students. Some in Live Oak’s black community say that the case is still something older generations won’t talk about but that they see hope in new generations. “Younger kids here do have better relationships with whites today,” said Alonzo Philmore, former president of the NAACP’s local chapter. “But with older folks there’s still a great divide.”
More room required for chickens likely means costlier eggs BY SCOTT SMITH Associated Press
FRESNO, Calif. — The new year is expected to bring rising chicken egg prices across the U.S. as California starts requiring farmers to house hens in cages with enough space to move around and stretch their wings. The new standard backed by animal rights advocates has drawn ire nationwide because farmers in Iowa, Ohio and other states who sell eggs in California have to abide by the same requirements. To comply, farmers have to put fewer hens into each cage or invest in revamped henhouses,

buildings that holds 1.5 million hens is now about half full to meet California’s standards, and another building may have to be completely overhauled. Farmers like him in cold climates will have to install heaters to replace warmth formerly generated by the chickens living close together. Dean said that’s something people in sunny California didn’t consider. “You’re talking about
millions upon millions of dollars,” he said. “It’s not anything that’s cheap or that can be modified easily, not in the Midwest.” California voters in 2008 approved the law backed by animal rights advocates to get egg-laying hens out of cramped cages and put them by Jan. 1, 2015, in larger enclosures that give them room to stretch, turn around and flap their wings. State legislators followed with the companion piece in 2010 requiring the out-of-state compliance. In anticipation, egg prices have risen already, said Dave Heylen of the California Grocers Association, adding that the holiday season, cold weather across the country and increased exports to Mexico and Canada also contributed to a year-
end price spike. He said he expected that supplies would remain adequate to meet demand. Daniel Sumner, an agricultural economist at the University of California, Davis, said prices initially could rise dramatically this year but he expects them to eventually settle anywhere from 10 and 40 percent higher in California and return to their normal price elsewhere in the country. If farmers cut back the number of chickens so they can comply with California’s cage law, Sumner said that could reduce the number of eggs available. “When there’s that much uncertainty, I’m thinking there may be some disruption in the market,” he said. Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the
United States, said he believes the costs to consumers will be minimal and worth it for the welfare of chickens, which provide enough eggs for each person to consume on average 250 a year. For decades, he said, farmers have crammed six to eight chickens in small cages without room to move. “This is the last bastion of cage confinement in industrial ag,” said Pacelle, whose organization led the reforms. Starbucks in December said it will eliminate the sale of eggs from caged hens, he said, following the lead of Burger King and Whole Foods. The California Department of Food and Agriculture, independent of the voter initiative, implemented rules that give chickens 70 percent more room, which Pacelle said is better but not enough. Low-income people who rely on eggs as an economical source of protein may be hurt the worst by California’s cage law, says a report this week by the Egg Industry Center at Iowa State University. Anticipating a 15 percent increase, the cost of a dozen eggs could rise by 27 cents, and a family of four could pay $15.93 more a year, the report says. California has prevailed in lawsuits, including six from major egg-producing states that argued the state is dictating market prices in other states in violation of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Appeals are pending. Ken Klippen of the National Association of Egg Farmers said California’s egg law, in addition to driving up the cost at the grocery store and putting pressure on egg supplies, will result in more injuries to chickens because housing them in larger pens means they are more likely to run, breaking a leg or wing. “You’re not going to help the chicken,” he said. “You’re not helping consumers.”

7-inch car part found in man, 75 Associated Press
CREVE COEUR, Mo. — Fifty-one years ago, Arthur Lampitt of Granite City, Illinois, smashed his 1963 Thunderbird into a truck. This week during surgery in suburban St. Louis, a 7-inch turn signal lever from that T-Bird was removed from his left arm. Dr. Timothy Lang removed the lever Wednesday during a 45-minute operation. Lampitt, now 75, is recovering at home. The St. Louis PostDispatch reports that the accident broke Lampitt’s hip, drawing attention away from the arm, which healed. A decade or so ago, his arm set off a metal detector at a courthouse. An X-ray showed a slender object the length of a pencil, but since it caused no pain or hardship, Lampitt was told to let it be. He was moving concrete blocks a few weeks ago when the arm began to hurt for the first time. “Everything was fine until it started to get bigger,� Lampitt’s wife, Betty, said. “The arm started bulging.� Lampitt decided to have surgery. He initially wasn’t sure what was in the arm. He wondered if perhaps a medical instrument had been left during the emergency room visit in 1963. He unearthed a collection of old photos of the mangled Thunderbird taken by a friend at the scene. He noticed the metal blinker lever was missing from the left side of the steering column. He figured that was it, and surgery at City Place Surgery Center in Creve Coeur, Missouri, confirmed it. “Seven inches long,� Lang told Betty. “Oh, my God,� Betty said. Lang said a protective pocket grew around the lever. “We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but usually not this large, usually not a turn signal from a 1963 TBird,� Lang said. “Something this large often gets infected.� Lampitt wasn’t sure what he’d do with the lever — maybe make a key chain out of it. “We’ll figure out something, I am sure,� he said.

Good manners are in short supply when couple eats out D E A R ABBY: I am recently divorced and now seeing a wonderful woman who is pretty Abigail much everyI was Van Buren thing looking for except for a Dear Abby couple of issues, which concern going out to eat -- which we do often. Not once has she offered to pay for a meal. I make good money, but she is not financially strapped by any means. While I can live with her not paying, what annoys me is she rarely says thank you after a dinner date. Once, she ordered a to-go selection to take home to her daughter. I paid for it, but again got no thanks. When we arrived at her house, she gave the food to her daughter without mentioning that I had bought it for her. Other than her manners, she’s a great gal and I’m happy we’re together. Am I being petty and overly sensitive? My ex-wife never appreciated me, so I guess it’s a sore spot. How should I approach this without jeopardizing everything else? -- HESITANT TO SPEAK UP IN THE MIDWEST
DEAR HESITANT: Your great gal has poor manners. Approach it by telling her exactly what you have written to me. Then ask her why she never says thank you and didn’t bother to give you credit when you did something nice for her daughter. Either this woman never learned basic manners, or she takes you for granted. And if this is a pattern with all the women in your life, it’s important you understand why and do something about it before you marry again or you will never be happy. DEAR ABBY: I stepped into a public restroom with three regular stalls and a handicap/ wheelchair-accessible stall. All the stalls were occupied, so I got in line. By the time it was my turn, the handicapped stall was available. Behind me was a mother with a fussy baby and a toddler, and she needed to use the baby changing station, which happened to be located inside the handicapped stall. I let her go first. What I didn’t realize was a woman in a wheelchair was also in line behind me. She got upset when I let someone else use the stall instead of allowing her. Someone else in line piped up
and told her she had to wait in line like everyone else. When situations like this arise, should disabled people be allowed to skip the line and go straight to the big stall? Even if the mother with the baby and the location of a diaper changing station were not a factor, is the right thing to do to let a wheelchair-bound person use the restroom first, even if he/she is at the end of the line? -- TRYING TO BE POLITE DEAR TRYING: Yes, it is. It’s called a “handicapped stall” for a reason. The person with the disability should have been allowed to use it first -- even if he/ she was at the end of the line. DEAR ABBY: I have two children from a previous marriage. We have a distant relationship. For valid reasons, they have been written out of my will. Should I tell them now, or let them find out after my death? -- WONDERING WHAT TO DO DEAR WONDERING: I see no reason to announce it now, because before you die you might change your mind. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re looking for a bit of surprise in your relationships. You’ll be attracted to people who know how to behave themselves and yet, every so often, choose not to. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Each person you talk to -- and you’ll talk to many in your current outgoing mood -- is a chance to influence and be influenced. You’ll be changed by the people you meet, and you’ll change them right back. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stay focused when the afternoon brings useless distractions. Don’t pay attention just because “they” think it’s important. You’re among “them,” but you’re not one of them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your fantasies about what you’ll be able to achieve will prove to be well within reason, especially since you’re taking the time to ready yourself for high output and maximum production. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If
multitasking really does exist, listening cannot be one of the tasks. Listening requires full attention. When you give it a fraction of attention, mistakes happen that will set you back. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have love in your life. This contributes to your attitude of enthusiasm. Your soul will thrive. You feel grateful, and you thank people who may or may not deserve it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Seek connections with greatness. Great people encourage you to be great, too. Limit your time with anyone who can’t get behind your dreams -- the condition is unlikely to change. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re principled, but in some situations, if you don’t bend to accommodate the different personalities of your group, you’re not going to be a part of what’s going forward. Step back for perspective. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life feels like doing a push-
up today -- when you’re doing it right, there is no part of the exercise that’s not work. The benefit is that you’ll be stronger for the effort, and you’ll look better, too! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your habit of putting things in a favorable light will make you a valued friend and a wellpaid employee. So many offers are coming your way for fun and business that you can afford to be choosy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Remember those plans you wrote down only a few weeks ago? Well, your soul is already leading you in a different direction. The casual contacts you make will be helpful to your work later on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Underused talents will now get a workout. It’s better to apply your passion to a project than to a person. People won’t know how to absorb all of your energy right now, but a well-chosen project will love you back.

Wife questions what to do in unhappy marriage WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: I have been married to my second husband for 28 years. For the past 25, he has not shown me affection or touched me. We do what he wants to do, go where he wants to go, eat where he wants to eat. When I retired, I refused to be unhappy. I still see my friends and go out at least once a week. My marriage vows said “until death do us part,” so I will not divorce him. My husband is very good to my children and loves our grandchildren. I just wish he loved me. I came from a family who showed their love and always said “I love you,” so this has been hard. I dated this man for two years, and I think I married him because I wanted security. Even though I loved him, I knew he didn’t love me the same way. I just wish I had a way out. Any suggestions? -- Need To Be Held Dear Need: Since you aren’t willing to consider a divorce, you have a limited number of “ways out.” You can get a legal separation, which keeps your marriage intact while allowing you to live apart, leading separate lives. You can get professional counseling, with or without your husband, to find ways to better cope with
Annie’s Mailbox the lack of affection or possibly encourage your husband to show more. You can transfer your affection to your grandchildren. We’re glad you are getting out of the house with friends, and you might consider doing more of that. In fact, please consider doing volunteer work with babies at your local hospital. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Need Help,” the young wife who doesn’t like sex. I don’t believe she is unusual or unhealthy or necessarily asexual. I felt the same way in my 20s and still do in my 60s. I have a faithful husband who likes regular sex. I would be happy with frequent cuddling and only occasional sex. I tried everything to change, from hormones to counseling. What finally worked for me was realizing (in my 40s) that I am lucky to be a female and can perform sexually whether I’m aroused or not. My husband and I agreed on
a frequency of sex that meets his needs, and once in a while, I enjoy it, too. The rest of the time I enjoy the cuddling. Sex is something I do for our marriage. He makes other compromises, such as talking with me more than he would prefer. You don’t need to be totally sexually compatible. Marriage is full of compromises. The hardest part is thinking you are alone in this. You are not. -- R. Dear R.: Thank you so much for pointing out that marriage is full of compromises, and you and your husband have reached one when it comes to the frequency of sex. But “Need Help” said she doesn’t like to be touched and has some deeply rooted aversions to sex, including reading books about the subject. She could be asexual, but we believe there is more to it and she could benefit from counseling. We hope she gets it.

Mississippi St. loses in Orange Bowl BY STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Mississippi State had lots of yards and too many missed chances in the Orange Bowl. The Bulldogs totaled 605 yards, including 453 passing by Dak Prescott, but lost Wednesday night to Georgia Tech 49-34. After trailing 21-20 to start the second half, the Bulldogs twice lost the ball on downs, and two onside kick attempts failed. “We missed some big opportunities,” coach Dan Mullen said. “We just didn’t score enough points.” Quarterback Justin Thomas was chosen the game’s outstanding player after he directed a Tech offense that
totaled an Orange Bowl-record 452 yards rushing. He ran for 121 yards and three touchdowns, and threw for 125 yards and a score. Synjyn Days ran for 171 yards and three scores, including a 69-yarder that defused the Bulldogs’ comeback bid. No. 8 Mississippi State (103) lost three of its final four games after being ranked No. 1 for five consecutive weeks. “We did a lot of things that this school has never done,” Prescott said. “The senior class led us to new standards, and that’s a success in itself of setting a standard for this university and this football team and I think we did that this year.” Prescott, a junior, declined
to say whether he’ll return for his senior season or turn pro. He finished 33 for 51, and his yardage total was an Orange Bowl record and a career high. Mississippi State outgained Georgia Tech by 28 yards, and the two-team total was another Orange Bowl record. “It’s very disappointing to end the season on a loss,” Mullen said. “But we have a lot to build on, and we have to find a way to make the 2015 edition even better.” No. 10 Georgia Tech (11-3) earned its first Orange Bowl victory in 63 years. The Yellow Jackets improved to 2-8 in bowl games in the past 10 seasons. “Our program took a step forward this year,” Thomas
said, “and we’re planning to keep striving to put Georgia Tech’s name on the top of the list.” The victory was especially sweet for an Atlantic Coast Conference team located in the heart of Southeastern Conference country. “For a week or so we won’t have to hear about the SEC,” Tech coach Paul Johnson said. The SEC fell to 4-3 in bowl games, and the West is 2-3. Mississippi State scored on a 42-yard Hail Mary on the final play of the first half, but the Yellow Jackets were unfazed, bouncing back with touchdowns on their first four possessions of the second half Please see ORANGE | 11

No. 7 MSU edges No. 4 Baylor 42-41 BY STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas — Connor Cook and the Michigan State Spartans want to have a different role in the playoff talk next season. With their big comeback finish in the Cotton Bowl, the No. 7 Spartans could be set up as a viable championship contender next season, after their only losses this season were to playoff teams. Michigan State scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter on New Year’s Day to beat playoff-snubbed and No. 4 Baylor 42-41 in the highestscoring Cotton Bowl ever. “For us to win in such an
emotional and dramatic fashion like you just saw out there, really just I think with all the guys coming back, all the juniors, really just makes us feel good and brings us closer together,” said Cook, who threw a 10-yard TD pass to Keith Mumphery with 17 seconds left. Michigan State (11-2), which won the Rose Bowl as Big Ten champions last season, has won four consecutive bowl games after trailing in each of them at halftime. The Spartans’ only two losses this season were to Pac-12 winner Oregon and Big Ten champ Ohio State. Down 41-21 going into the fourth quarter, Michigan
State got the winning touchdown after Marcus Rush blocked Chris Callahan’s 43yard field goal attempt with 1:05 left. “It’s just sort of crazy,” coach Mark Dantonio said. “I really probably can’t put it into words. We just kept pace. We didn’t panic.” When two-time Big 12 champ Baylor got the ball back for one last try, Bryce Petty was sacked on consecutive plays before Riley Bullough’s clinching interception. That was quite a final defensive stand under coordinator Pat Narduzzi, who after 11 seasons and two schools with Dantonio is leaving the Spartans to take over as head coach at Pitts-
burgh. Narduzzi will be about 20 miles away Friday to watch the Panthers play Houston in the Armed Forces Bowl on the TCU campus. The Cotton Bowl was the lead-in game Thursday to the two national semifinals that Baylor (11-2) hoped to be part of instead — though that doesn’t matter now. “We’ve played a lot of really good games over the last seven seasons. Won a lot of really good games. And this is one of the tougher non-wins that I’ve ever experienced,” Baylor coach Art Briles said. “It’s got nothing to do with the big picture. The small picture right now is letting a game get away from us today.”
Rose Bowl rout! Oregon crushes Florida State BY RALPH D. RUSSO AP Sports Writer
PASADENA, Calif. — Marcus Mariota and Oregon turned an avalanche of Florida State mistakes into a mountain of points and the Ducks rolled past the defending national champions 5920 Thursday to turn the first College Football Playoff semifinal into a Rose Bowl rout. Mariota and the secondseeded Ducks (13-1) scored six straight times they touched the ball in the second half,
with five of the touchdowns covering at least 21 yards and the last four coming after Florida State turnovers. In the matchup of Heisman Trophy winners, Jameis Winston matched Mariota’s numbers, but the defending national champions were no match for the Ducks. The Pac-12 champions will play the winner of the Sugar Bowl semifinal between Alabama and Ohio State on Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas. Third-seeded Florida
State’s winning streak ends at 29. In Winston’s first loss as a college starter, maybe his last game in college, he threw for 348 yards. No Heisman jinx for Mariota. He was mostly brilliant again. The junior passed for 338 yards and two touchdowns and sprinted in for a 23 yard-touchdown with 13:56 left in the fourth quarter that made it 52-20 and made the Ducks the first team to reach 50 points in Rose Bowl history. This was No. 101.
“59-20, I did not expect that,” Oregon defensive end Arik Armstead said. The Ducks fans spent much of the final quarter mockingly doing the Seminoles’ warchant and tomahawk chop. Next stop: The Lone Star state to try to win the program’s first national title. The first playoff game at college football’s highest level, the type of postseason game fans have longed for forever, Please see ROSE | 11
Gordon leads Wisconsin past Auburn 34-31 in OT BY FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer
TAMPA, Fla. — Once Wisconsin turned Melvin Gordon loose on Auburn, there was no stopping the nation’s leading rusher. Gordon ran for an Outback Bowl-record 251 yards and three touchdowns, and Rafael Gaglianone kicked a 25-yard field goal in overtime to give the 17th-ranked Badgers a 34-31 victory over the No. 19
Tigers on Thursday. Gordon scored on runs of 25, 53 and 6 yards, bouncing back from a subpar performance in the Big Ten championship game to threaten Barry Sanders’ FBS single-season rushing record. The Wisconsin star, who has already declared he’ll skip his final season of eligibility to enter the NFL draft, finished with 2,587 yards in 14 games — second most in FBS
history. Sanders gained 2,628 in 11 games in 1988, when the NCAA did not include bowl results in a player’s season or career statistic totals. Nick Marshall threw for two touchdowns for Auburn, which also got a pair of TDs on the ground from Cameron Artis-Payne. The Tigers (8-5) were unable to move the ball in overtime, though, and lost when Daniel Carlson’s 45yard field goal hit the right
upright and bounced away. Joel Stave threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Corey Clement for an early Wisconsin lead. The Badgers’ offense, however, didn’t really take off until it started feeding Auburn’s defense a steady diet of Gordon, who finished second in Heisman Trophy balloting. Gordon went over 100 yards for the day with a 17-yard gain Please see GORDON | 11

to lead 42-20. “We talked about it at halftime — if we scored every time in the second half, we couldn’t lose, because we were ahead,” Johnson said. Georgia Tech’s triple option attack had uncharacteristic balance in the first half, when Thomas threw 10 times for 125 yards. Senior Darren Waller had a career-high 114 yards on five catches, including a 41-yard score. The nation’s secondranked rushing offense revved it up in the third quarter, when the Yellow Jackets pulled away by gaining 208 yards, all on the ground. “That’s our game, no matter who we play,” Thomas said. “That’s
what we’re going to do.” The 75,000-seat stadium was a third empty at the start and two-thirds empty with 10 minutes left. But fans made plenty of noise, especially Tech rooters. After Georgia Tech scored a touchdown to take a 21-20 lead with 29 seconds left in the first half, the Bulldogs started at their own 28. Four plays advanced the ball to the Yellow Jackets 42 with 5 seconds left, and after a timeout, Prescott heaved a pass into the end zone. Two defenders and Mississippi State’s Joe Morrow got their hands on the ball, and it deflected to Fred Ross, who made a diving scoop for the improbable score. “I was just in the right spot,” Ross said.

of the first play of the second half. His 27th rushing TD finished a six-play, 75-yard march Stave led without putting the ball in the air. His 28th, on a carry up the middle on fourthand-1, put the Badgers ahead 21-17 late in the third quarter. Stave completed 14 of 27 passes for 121 yards. He threw two of his three interceptions in the first half, but that didn’t stop him from making a couple of big completions on a 64yard drive the Badgers put together to send the game into overtime. With help from a 20yard run by Gordon and an accompanying 15-yard penalty on Auburn for a late hit on the running back out of bounds, Wisconsin marched to the Auburn 11 before settling for Gaglianone’s 29-yard field goal.
Marshall threw TD passes of 66 yards Ricardo Louis and 20 yards to C.J. Uzomah. Artis-Payne, who rushed for 126 yards, scored on a pair of 2-yard runs — the second giving Auburn a 31-28 lead. Both teams were coming off disappointing losses, Wisconsin falling 59-0 to Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game and Auburn rolling up 630 yards total offense in coming up short 5544 against Alabama in the Tigers’ regular season finale. Auburn wasted no time in hiring former Florida coach Will Muschamp to lead the Tigers defense next season. He was on the field before the game, but not working while interim defensive coordinator Charlie Harbison led the unit against Wisconsin.

looked like it would be a classic for about two and half quarters. Under a cloudless sky, on chilly day in Pasadena, the Rose Bowl featured the third matchup of Heisman Trophy winners and a couple of quarterbacks who could be vying to be the first overall pick in April’s NFL draft. Mariota and Winston were both OK in the first half, missing some throws and making some spectacular ones. It was Mariota who threw the only interception, just his third of the season. The late pick didn’t hurt the Ducks much because Florida State’s Roberto Aguayo missed a 54-yard field goal on the final play of the half. For the sixth time this season, Florida State was trailing at the half. And then the hole got deeper. The Seminoles’ first
turnover was a huge swing. Freshman Dalvin Cook was stripped by Derrick Malone Jr. with Florida State in Oregon territory. The Ducks quickly flipped the field and Freeman scored his second touchdown of the day from 3 yards out to make it 25-13. Oregon coach Mark Helfrich had called the Seminoles “unflappable” during the week leading up to the Rose Bowl — and they showed it on the next drive. Instead of an answer from Florida State, this time another fumble by Cook and the wave of big plays and points that the Ducks do better than any team in the country started rumbling. Two plays after the turnover, Mariota hit Carrington for a 30yard touchdown and it was 39-20 and the Rose Bowl, filled mostly with green and yellow, was rumbling, too.

No. 16 Missouri rumbles past Minnesota BY KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Marcus Murphy ran for 159 yards, Russell Hansbrough added 114 yards and a touchdown and No. 16 Missouri beat Minnesota 33-17 on Thursday in the Citrus Bowl. Missouri (11-3) won its third straight bowl game to reach 11 victories for the fourth time in school history. Minnesota (85) trailed 19-17 entering the fourth quarter, but Missouri pulled away on Hansbrough’s 78-yard touchdown run and Maty Mauk’s 7-yard scoring pass to Bud Sasser. Mauk settled down to throw two TD passes after interceptions on the Tigers’ first two possessions. The Tigers forced three turnovers. Minne-
sota quarterback Mitch Leidner was 21 of 31 for 258 yards and a touchdown. The Tigers used an onside kick to open the third quarter to stretch out their halftime lead to 13-7. The Golden Gophers responded on the ensuing series with a 54-yard touchdown pass from Leidner to tight end Maxx Williams. Williams leaped over cornerback Aarion Penton and stepped over another defender before diving into the end zone. But Missouri quickly answered, needing just three plays after a muffed Minnesota punt for Mauk to give the Tigers a 19-14 lead on an 18-yard touchdown run. It tightened to 19-17 by the start of in the fourth quarter before Hansbrough got free and rum-
bled for his score that put the Tigers’ up by nine with 9:28 to play. Missouri survived a disastrous offensive start to lead 10-7 at halftime in a game that started with the teams combining for three turnovers in the first 4 minutes. Missouri’s Mauk opened the game by being picked off by Derrick Wells on the Tigers’ third play from scrimmage. Minnesota would give it right back, though, when Leidner fumbled after being sandwiched in the backfield by defensive ends Markus Golden and Shane Ray. The Tigers then went just four more plays before Mauk’s pass was intercepted for the second time, this time in the end zone by Briean BoddyCalhoun.
The Gophers finally ended the drought on the ensuing series, capping an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a 20-yard touchdown run by Rodrick Williams. It was part of a bruising first quarter that saw Minnesota gain 76 yards on the ground. That was flipped in the second quarter, as the Tigers used its own rushing attack to set up the passing game. First, following a punt, they used their best starting field position of the half to get on the board with Andrew Baggett’s 21yard field goal. Mauk then made the best of Missouri’s final possession of the half, finding Bud Sasser for a 25-yard touchdown strike. In all, the Tigers outgained the Gophers 156-41 in the second quarter.

Looking for a much brighter tomorrow As we begin another new year most of us will think about how it can be better than the last. Many will make resolutions on what they want to accomGary p l i s h , laces Andrews pthey want to travel, Devotionals relationships they want to mend, make better financial decisions, and other great ideas that may or may not come to fruition. Not many people, if any, will decide to be better witnesses for Christ and have a burning desire to spread His Word. For most of us this is not a high priority on our bucket list. Even though we go to church every Sunday and are told to go forth and witness to the unsaved and the unchurched, not many of us think about it the minute we leave the church sanctuary. Why is it that we are not interested in reaching the lost souls for Christ when we know we are living in a world destined for the gates of hell? All of us are looking for better days over the next year and whether it will be greater financial rewards or something else, we will strive for a while to make these worldly goals possible. For some these goals will become a reality, for others they will remain a dream. We will
Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday –Acts 4:13-22; Monday – Isaiah 6:8-13; Tuesday –Luke 9:18-27; Wednesday – Psalm 145:17-21; Thursday – Matthew 4:18-20; Friday – Genesis 39:1-6; Saturday – 1 Corinthians 15:1-8;) put forth a great effort at the beginning of the year and stay focused trying to reach and make possible these resolutions, however many of us will give up after a few failures and resolve in our minds that next year will be a better year. Again, why are we this way? Some call it human nature and it is our fate that these things should happen to us. Many of today’s population are like the Israelites of biblical days. The Israelites were always looking for a better way of life and God promised them a good life if they would follow and obey Him. They were just like us of today: greedy, impatient, and willing to listen to leaders of the world instead of obeying God and having the patience for Him to fulfill His will for them. Why are we this way when we know the Lord has provided for us in the past and we know He will take care of us in the future? The worldly leaders through the means of the electronic and print media tell us how great our life can be if we will follow them and send our money
to them for advancement of more evil. Why do we buy into this nonsense? It is because they make false promises that we are too ignorant to see ahead of time and they know that the public is vulnerable and open to deception. We are just as the Israelites were; always looking for a brighter tomorrow through false hopes, following and worshiping idols that can do us no good, when we have the greatest hope of all in Jesus Christ and the promise of eternal life with Him. Not only are we looking down the road of deception but we are also leading our friends, neighbors, and family down this same road because we are afraid to tell them the truth about Jesus and His promise of everlasting life. This year let’s forget the worldly desires we want to accomplish and put our focus on telling others about Jesus. Whether we get out earthly wants or not, they do not compare with what Jesus has to offer and all we have to do is accept His free gift of salvation by asking Him to come into our heart and be a part of our life. Prayer: Thank you Jesus for your free gift of salvation. I pray that I may be a witness to those around me and throughout my community and neighborhood and tell them the good news of your free gift. Amen. (Daily Corinthian columnist Gary Andrews is a native of Alcorn County.)

Religion Briefs Associated Press
Spiritual leader of African Hebrew Israelites dies JERUSALEM — The spiritual leader of the African Hebrew Israelites, a polygamous vegan group that believes some black Americans descended from a Jewish tribe, has died aged 75. Ben Ammi Ben Israel died Saturday, the group announced on Sunday. He was born Ben Carter in Chicago in 1939. He maintained that some black Americans descend from the tribe of Judah, who migrated to Africa after the destruction of the Second Jewish Temple in A.D. 70. In 1966, he had a vision that the angel Gabriel told him to “return
to the holy land by way in which we came,” a spokeswoman for the group said. He led a few hundred followers to Liberia, the West African republic settled by freed slaves in the 19th century. In 1969 they moved to Israel.
Indiana diocese wants ex-teacher’s jury award cut FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A northern Indiana Roman Catholic diocese wants to reduce a jury’s nearly $2 million award to a former teacher fired by church officials for trying to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization.

THE PROBLEM WITH SPLINTERS
The Daily Corinthian will be featuring the “Babies of 2014” on January 25, 2015. If you or someone you know would like to feature a baby on this special page, Please send Baby’s Name, Date of Birth, Parents Name, Address & Phone # along with photo & payment of $20 to:
Babies of 2014 c/o Daily Corinthian P. O. Box 1800 Corinth MS 38835 or drop off at 1607 S Harper Rd - Corinth MS You may also email to: classad@dailycorinthian.com Deadline is Monday, January 19, 2015. “Babies of 2014” will publish on Sunday, January 25, 2015.
A young girl, sliding her hand along a wooden fence, drove a splinter into the palm of her hand. She, like so many young children, was afraid it would hurt to pull it out. She decided not to look at it and try to forget about it, bearing the pain. Naturally, within a day or two, the splinter caused an infection. By the time her parents noticed the sore, it was to the point of needing a doctor’s attention. Personal injuries and offences are like splinters-they fester! If they are not removed promptly and with care, they will get worse. Jesus acknowledged this principle when He said, “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother” (Matthew 18:15, with steps 2 and 3 in verses 16-17 if needed). This simple but profound principle, if followed, could prevent countless broken friendships, strained relationships, even broken marriages. Those who tend to hold grudges make life unpleasant for both themselves and those around them. Therefore, “pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled” (Hebrews 12:14-15). Bitterness is the product of an immature mind. It robs a person of the peace and happiness God intended for them to have. Bitterness and happiness simple do not mix. This time of year many people make resolutions for 2015. Without question, the most important resolution one could make is to faithfully follow God’s directions to salvation (Acts 10:35; Ecclesiastes 12:13; Matthew 16:2427). A close second in order of importance would be to attempt to mend “broken fences”, leaving bitterness and resentment in the dust where they belong. I should add that it is not wrong to become angry if there is just cause (Matthew 5:22). There are some things happening in our society which warrant righteous indignation. However, it is always wrong for us to harbor and nurture anger until it becomes bitterness or malice. “Be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath, nor give place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:26-27).

$300,000, arguing that such damages are partly capped by the size of the diocese’s workforce. The Journal Gazette reports diocese attorneys argue state law caps pain-and-suffering damages at $300,000 for employers with more than 500 employees and states that the diocese has more than 870 teachers alone. Herx’s attorneys filed a motion Monday seeking more than $560,000 in damages. A jury awarded Herx $1.9 million on Dec. 19 after finding that diocese officials discriminated against her.
‘In God We Trust’ signs now hang in Kentucky Capitol FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky lawmakers will debate legislation in committees next year beneath “In God We Trust” signs. The Lexington HeraldLeader reports state officials hung the new signs in 11 committee rooms in the Capitol and Capitol Annex, where legislators have offices and meeting rooms. Republican Senate President Robert Stivers said the signs were paid for with private donations. The ACLU of Kentucky and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State are not happy about the signs, but say there is little chance a judge would order them removed. Legislators approved the signs earlier this year by passing an amendment sponsored by Republican state Sen. Albert Robinson of London.
Egypt court bans festival honoring Moroccan rabbi CAIRO — An Egyptian court has banned an annual festival in honor of Moroccan rabbi that was regularly attended by hundreds of Jewish pilgrims. After the 1979 peace treaty with Israel, Egypt began allowing organized trips to the tomb of Yaakov Abu Hatzira in the Nile Delta north of Cairo. The Culture Ministry declared the site an Egyptian monument. The Administrative Court of Alexandria on Monday banned the visits and stripped the ministry’s designation. It acted on a complaint filed by local residents who objected to the mingling of men and women and the consumption of alcohol at the festival.
