Don Elliott will retire next month after 31 years as pastor at Corinth’s First Presbyterian Church.

Elliott retiring from First Presbyterian move a lot and don’t really settle ... but Corinth just felt right. This church and the congregation just felt right.” It was August 1985 when a young pastor, his wife, Lynn, and three sons moved from their home in Georgia to the small town of Corinth. “I guess if I had to give a reason why I have been here so long it is because the congregation has always been very supportive of me and my family,” said Elliott. During his time as leader, the Shiloh Road church has changed a lot, growing in numbers from 300 members in the mid-1980s to more than 500 today. “Sunday morning attendance

For more than 30 years Don Elliott has delivered heart-to-heart preaching from behind Corinth’s First Presbyterian Church pulpit ... but now the 68-year-old’s days are numbered. He is less than one month from retirement and while there’s no doubt both his congregation and the community will miss him, he promises he’s not going anywhere. “I didn’t plan on staying here for 31 years, it just turned out that way. We really love small towns ... and there was something about Corinth that connected with me and my family,” said Elliott. “Pastors normally

has improved, as well,” said Elliott. “It hasn’t been dramatic growth, but I think the way the church has changed so much has to do with the life of the church.” Elliott’s highlights include a 1990 spiritual renewal in the church which lead to new ministries including the Youth House and Kids House ministry. “The growth of our missions programs has been encouraging to me,” he said. “We give almost 25 percent of our budget to others -- world missions, local missions and the needy in our community.” Last week Elliott and many Please see ELLIOTT | 2A

Deuce McAllister, Walter Payton and Steve “Air” McNair have all contributed to Mississippi’s sports history. University of Mississippi professor Dr. Charles Ross will share his research on African-Americans who have impacted sports in the Magnolia state during a special free program next week at the Crossroads Museum. Set for Tuesday at 6 p.m., the lecture is held in conjunction with the museum’s Smithsonian traveling exhibit, Hometown Teams: Ross How Sports Shape America. A native of Ohio and the current chair of the AfricanAmerican Studies Program at Ole Miss, Ross’s program will include highlights of AfricanAmericans born in Mississippi or have played sports in Mississippi who have had a major impact on sports in America. Ross is also the author of “Outside the Lines: African Americans and the Integration of the National Football League” and has appeared on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines”. “We are very excited to have Dr. Ross presenting his program at the museum,” said Cathy Wood, museum president. “His knowledge of 20th Century U.S. History, AfricanAmerican history and sports history should make for a very interesting talk.”

Ross will also discuss future African-American athletic newsmakers with Mississippi ties including Anthony Alford who attended Ole Miss and currently plays for the Toronto Blue Jays and Victoria Vivians, of Carthage, who currently plays basketball at Mississippi State University. Presented by the museum and the Mississippi Humanities Council, Tuesday night’s free lecture is the second of five speaking engagements set at the museum over the next five weeks. Upcoming programs include “African-Americans in Baseball” by Dr. Phil Dixon on Dec. 6, Coaching Then & Now by Coach John Smillie on Dec. 13 and Sports Photography Tips & Tricks by Michael H. Miller on Dec. 20. Dr. Charles Westmoreland presented “Archie Who?” on Nov. 22. The Hometown Teams exhibit, which is on display at the Corinth Public Library through Dec. 30, takes a look at how people’s lives are influenced by the sports they play. Through videos, images, objects and personal reflections gathered from teams around the country, Hometown Teams shows that sports are more than just games.

Brady brings background, desire for change, progress BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

John Brady touts a deep background in the courtroom as he vies for a state Supreme Court seat. A shareholder in the Columbus oﬃce of Mitchell, McNutt & Sams, which also has a Corinth oﬃce, the 49-year-old is making his first run for elective office. “I am an outsider to the political realm, but I’m running because I want to see Missis-

Senior circuit court judge touts judicial experience BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

With his eye on a Mississippi Supreme Court seat, Bobby Chamberlin of Hernando hopes to draw on the experience of a diverse background including a dozen years on the bench as a circuit court judge. In 2004, Chamberlin, 51, was appointed to serve in the Seventeenth Circuit Court District and is currently the district’s senior circuit court judge. As the high court reviews cas-

from his congregation worked Thanksgiving morning to deliver 1,000 meals to those less fortunate in the community. “That’s something I’m really proud of,” he said. “With all this, we have sought to build a community-based ministry which

means it’s not about us it’s about God’s call for us in this community.” Times weren’t always easy, Elliott admits. In 2006, the church went through a denominational change. “We lost some members, but came away stronger than ever,” he added.

that now’s a good time to leave his hometown church. “The church is currently at a time of peace and strength,” he said. “We are growing with lots of young couples with small children joining the church. I think it’s time for them to have a new pastor to take them into a new season of ministry.” Elliott said his leaving is nothing negative. “Which means it’s a positive time to leave,” he said. The preacher admits it wasn’t an easy decision. “It was something Lynn and I talked about and prayed about over the last four years. Right now just seemed like a good time. The church I believe is ready for the change,” he added. But no worries, Elliott said he’s not going into hiding. “I still have some gas left in my tank, so I’m asking the Lord to lead me to some new ministry,” he said. Although leaving First Presbyterian Church, he said he feels like he could be a blessing to some small country church. “I’m not looking for anything comparable to First Pres. The hours and responsibility here has been rather demanding and I’m ready to slow down just a bit,” said Elliott. “I’ve done exactly what I wanted to do here and that is finish strong. We’ve got a lot done this year and now I’m ready for what the Lord has ready for me next.”

Longtime church member Randy Long agrees. “It was an especially hard trial for Don and all of us, but he kept us focused on trusting God and earnest prayer and we got through it,” said Long. “His ministry has always been an example of sound theology and enthusiastic heart-to-heart preaching.” Long isn’t alone. Other members of the church see Elliott as a “wonderful spiritual leader”. “I think a person could sum up Don’s time in two words -- strong finish. He never coasted. He was constantly preaching God’s word,” said Orma Smith. “He will be deeply missed.” Smith said Elliott is a worthy overseer. “The definition of a leader is not how his organization runs while he is present, but when he is gone. The fact that we are going to search for a new pastor without an interim speaks volumes for the leadership Don has developed among our members,” said Smith. Susanne Cooper said Elliott is a person she’s always needed in her life. “He has been so supportive of me through the ups and downs of my life,” she said. “He loves his congregation, has strong character and a great work ethic, and strongly advocates and teaches the word of God.” Cooper added, “He has a great sense of humor, and he’s as smart as a whip, as well.” Smart enough to see

Today in History Today is Sunday, Nov. 27, the 332nd day of 2016. There are 34 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 27, 1978, San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, a gayrights activist, were shot to death inside City Hall by former supervisor Dan White. (White served five years for manslaughter; he committed suicide in Oct. 1985.)

On this date: In 1901, the U.S. Army War College was established in Washington, D.C. In 1910, New York’s Pennsylvania Station officially opened. In 1924, Macy’s first Thanksgiving Day parade — billed as a “Christmas Parade” — took place in New York. In 1942, during World War II, the Vichy French navy scuttled its ships and submarines in Toulon to keep them out of the hands of German troops. In 1945, General George C. Marshall was named special U.S. envoy to China by President Harry S. Truman to try to end hostilities between the Nationalists and the Communists. In 1973, the Senate voted 92-3 to confirm Gerald R. Ford as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew, who’d resigned. In 1983, 181 people were killed when a Colombian Avianca Airlines Boeing 747 crashed near Madrid’s Barajas airport. In 1989, a bomb blamed on drug traffickers destroyed a Colombian Avianca Boeing 727, killing all 107 people on board and three people on the ground.

Across the Region Booneville Runoff election will choose new judge BOONEVILLE — Voters will cast ballots for the final time in 2016 next Tuesday. Prentiss County voters in the north half of the county will decide between Tara Green Lauderdale and Richard Tollison for the post of Justice Court Judge North in a runoff election. The pair topped balloting in the first round of the race earlier this month but since no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote a runoff is required. All county voters will cast ballots in the runoff for Mississippi Supreme Court District 3 Place 1 between attorney John Brady and Circuit Court Judge Robert “Bobby” Chamberlin. Brady, of Columbus, is an attorney with the Mitchell, McNutt and Sams law firm. Chamberlin has served the past 11 years as a circuit court judge in the 17th district which includes Desoto, Panola, Tallahatchie, Tate and Yalobusha counties. The Prentiss County Circuit Clerk’s Office will be open until noon this Saturday for the final day of in-person absentee voting. Polls will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Selmer Postal carrier honored for 25 years of service SELMER, Tenn. — Selmer Postal Carrier Todd Parker was recently honored by Selmer Postmaster Tom Hamilton for 25-years of service to the U.S. Postal Service. Parker began his career with the postal service with two years in Savannah beginning in 1991 and he then moved to work in Selmer in 1993. He de-

livers mail in downtown Selmer and around the city. Tennessee District Manager of Customer Service and Sales David Dillman sent a letter congratulating Parker. “You can be proud of your contribution to the fine public service reputation the U.S. Postal Service enjoys today,” said Dillman. “It is the diligence and loyalty of employees like you who have played a major role in making our postal service the best in the world.” Parker, a 1985 graduate of Adamsville High School, spent four years serving in the U.S. Air Force before becoming to work for the postal service He is married to Jill Mask Parker and they live in Stantonville.

Selmer Tennessee aiming to battle addiction SELMER, Tenn. — A new Surgeon General’s report finds alcohol and drug misuse and severe substance use disorders, commonly called addiction, to be one of America’s most pressing public health concerns. Nearly 21 million Americans – more than the number of people who have all cancers combined – suffer from substance use disorders. In Tennessee, it is estimated that 373,000 adults and 26,000 youth have a substance use disorder. “Alcohol and drug addiction take an enormous toll on individuals, families, and communities,” said U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. “Most Americans know someone who has been touched by an alcohol or a drug use disorder. Yet 90 percent of people with a substance use disorder are not getting treatment. That has to change.”

“The addiction epidemic is a saddening reality in this country and Tennessee is no exception,” said Commissioner Marie Williams, Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. “It is unprecedented to have the Surgeon General place a priority on substance abuse and hopefully, this will shed some national light on this public health crisis affecting our loved ones. Our Department stands ready with our community partners to provide more recovery options for Tennesseans struggling with addiction.” “It’s time to change how we view addiction,” said Dr. Murthy. “Not as a moral failing but as a chronic illness that must be treated with skill, urgency and compassion. The way we address this crisis is a test for America.” “Tennessee has engaged the faith-based community in the fight against addiction in hopes of reducing the stigma associated with substance abuse,” said Assistant Commissioner of Substance Abuse Services Rodney Bragg, Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. “Since its inception, the FaithBased Initiative in Tennessee has seen phenomenal growth and transformed hearts and minds by educating people about the complexity of addiction as an illness rather than a moral deficiency.” The report, Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health, marks the first time a U.S. Surgeon General has dedicated a report to substance misuse and related disorders. The report addresses alcohol, illicit drugs, and prescription drug misuse, with chapters dedicated to neurobiology, prevention, treatment, recovery, health systems

integration and recommendations for the future. It provides an in-depth look at the science of substance use disorders and addiction, calls for a cultural shift in the way Americans talk about the issue, and recommends actions we can take to prevent and treat these conditions, and promote recovery. “Families across this country are fighting addiction -they’re fighting an illness, as well as a stigma. They’re doing all they can, and we should do no less. At the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, we have worked hard to make our nation healthier and save lives by increasing access to evidence-based treatment for those who need it,” said HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. “While there’s more to do, this historic report provides us guidance and outlines important steps we can take to move forward, build on our progress to address this public health crisis, and make a difference for more Americans.” The report identifies substance use disorders as a public health problem that requires a public health solution. It recommends taking action by eradicating negative attitudes and changing the way people think about substance use disorders; recognizing substance misuse and intervening early; and expanding access to treatment.

For the full report and executive summary, visit http://addiction.surgeongeneral.gov/.

Booneville students promote the vote From Oct. 31 to Nov. 4, Booneville Middle School seventhgraders kicked oﬀ a unit on the election process, government jobs and how the nation is governed. Students in grades sixth through eighth were able to see how the election process works by participating in a program called “Promote the Vote.” On Wednesday, Oct. 26, students cast their vote for President and those numbers were turned in to the Secretary of State oﬃce. The students later met outside the school on Tuesday, Nov. 8, promoting the right to vote.

One year ago: A gunman attacked a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, killing three people and injuring nine. (Suspect Robert Dear has been undergoing treatment at a psychiatric hospital after being deemed incompetent for trial.)

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

Use caution at new Harper Road traffic light Anytime there are changes with stop lights and traﬃc signals in Corinth, motorists need to use caution as drivers become more aware. Such is the case on South Harper Road at the intersection with Legacy Drive and Getwell Road (the turn to get to the transfer station) where signals are scheduled to be activated on Wednesday morning. Message boards will be in place beginning Monday to alert motorists that the signal will be reactivated. The message will change on Wednesday to indicate the lights are on, and the message boards will stay through the following weekend. The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors is putting the signalization back into service because of increased industrial traﬃc. It has been a flashing caution light for a number of years following Tecumseh’s exit from the industrial building at the intersection. Drivers should slow down and approach the intersection with caution as the public gets accustomed to the signals being back in service. The names Getwell Road and Legacy Drive were assigned in 2014. Getwell Road previously had no name or road number. Legacy Drive was formerly Tecumseh Way. Motorists should be extra cautious on South Harper Road - especially the next few weeks and after the message boards go away.

Letter to the Editor

The state flag needs to change To the Editor: Mississippi’s state flag is racist by design. It’s incredibly easy to redesign our flag into one that doesn’t reflect racism, but rather displays the pride we all have as hospitable Mississippians. A flag symbolizes the people who fly it. Right now it looks like we’re a bunch of racists who resist change in the slightest ways. I’m ashamed to fly a flag designed with racism in mind. In the top left corner of the Mississippi flag is a square part, the canon, that is the Confederate flag. The Confederate flag was designed by William Thompson. In a few editorials he let everyone know the intent behind his design. He said that the Confederate flag would “be hailed by the civilized world as the white man’s flag”. The Confederate States was a group of states that seceded from the US. That means that they declared a reason to leave and form their own country. What was Mississippi’s reason for seceding? Well, when they declared it they wrote it down. The first sentence of their declaration isn’t too interesting, but the second sentence sets the tone, saying, “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery – the greatest material interest of the world”. Mississippi seceded from the United States to keep owning black people as slaves, per their own words. The states that seceded adopted William Thompson’s Confederate flag, designed with the intent of being a white man’s flag and uphold the symbolism that the white race was superior. That is what’s on our state flag. That is what every other state sees when they look at Mississippi. They see racism sewn into the fabric of our history. It’s time to change that. The best way you can voice your opposition to this racist flag is to annoy your state representative by phone. Simply Google the words “who is my state legislator” and you’ll find his or her phone number easily. Call and talk to a real person about getting rid of the racist stain on our flag once and for all. Ask that they allow it to be put to vote again. There are thousands of silent voters who weren’t old enough in 2001 when it was put to a vote, myself among them. Laurin Stennis, John C. Stennis’ granddaughter, oﬀered a wonderfully elegant redesign that I urge everyone to look up as well. Jacob Owens Oxford

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that I may have patience to live through the diﬃculties of life. May I correct my faults, that they may not destroy my peace and take from me my strength; help me to center my life in brightness and hope. Amen.

A verse to share “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” — Psalms 46:1

The Muslim registry that wasn’t The first thing to know about Donald Trump’s alleged proposal for a Muslim registry is that it isn’t a Muslim registry. This has been lost in a freak-out that has some brave souls already promising acts of civil disobedience to disrupt and overwhelm the prospective registry. The controversy tells us much more about how the media will cover the Trump administration -- i.e., through the lens of a fact-free hysteria -- than about the administration’s immigration-enforcement agenda. The source of the fracas is a comment from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Trump immigration adviser and (excellent) candidate for Homeland Secretary director, to Reuters. Kobach noted that the administration might reinstate a Bush-era program tracking visitors to the U.S. from countries with active terrorist threats. This suggestion was spun into a first step toward herding our Muslim neighbors into internment camps. Kobach was referring to the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERS, which placed special requirements on adult male visitors from countries like Saudi Arabia.

Implemented after Sept. 11 -- when, you might recall, adult male visitors from Saudi Arabia Rich toppled the Lowry World Trade Center -- it National collected finReview gerprints and photographs when visitors from the select countries arrived and required them to check in periodically to confirm that they were abiding by the terms of their visas. It also required that certain individuals from these countries who were already here go through a process of “special registration,” including an interview with immigration oﬃcials. This is a far cry from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s notorious Executive Order 9066 setting in motion the Japanese internment of World War II. It is true, as the critics point out, that the selected countries all were, with the exception of North Korea, majority Muslim. But any program concerned with international terrorism will, inevitably, focus largely on Muslim countries (although European countries like France and Belgium have developed an indig-

enous terror threat). The 9/11 hijackers, notably, all came from majority Muslim countries. It is said that the Bush program didn’t lead to the prosecution of any terrorists. According to the Migration Policy Institute, “The New York Times reported in 2003 that, out of roughly 85,000 individuals registered through the NSEERS program in 2002 and 2003, just 11 were found to have ties to terrorism.” Although tracking down anyone here who has ties to terrorism isn’t necessarily something to sniﬀ at, the Bush program proved best-suited to identifying visa overstayers. Of the 85,000 initial registrants, nearly 14,000 were put into removal proceedings. For the critics, this is an indictment. Liberal website Vox complains that the program “made it easier to deport someone who then overstayed his visa than it would have been to deport him if he’d refused to register at all.” But why shouldn’t it be easier to deport visa-overstayers, who constitute about half of the population of illegal immigrants? If we are serious about our immigration rules, our approach to visa-overstayers from all countries should be much

more restrictive and hardheaded. The requirements of the Bush program were watered down over time until it was suspended by the Obama administration in 2011. But the program wasn’t illegal or unconstitutional (the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in its favor). Nor was it immoral -- foreign visitors should be subject to any reasonable strictures we impose in exchange for the privilege of coming here. That the so-called Muslim registry is now a thing, a subject of high dudgeon and hot debate, is testament to how the same media that complains about “fake news” is committed to manufacturing and driving its own narratives only loosely connected to reality. Whether the Trump administration revives a version of the Bush program or not, a similar campaign of obloquy will be directed at all of its immigration enforcement measures. It will have to pursue its agenda against a backdrop of media hostility and constant misinformation.

Thankful not to be thinking about politics Since I was in junior high, I’ve had a very keen interest in politics. Local, county, state, or national — it didn’t matter. It’s been second nature that politics has always been something I enjoyed talking about with just about anyone I encountered. Talking politics has always been fun to me whether with someone who shared most of my views or with those who shared none of them. This Thanksgiving season, I suppose I finally reached critical mass. I’ve had enough of political debate and discussion for a time. It’s simply time for a break. And it’s not because I’m traumatized in any way by the outcome of the election. The people spoke. The system worked. Our system provides for the losing candidate to get 1.5 million more popular votes than the winner so long as the winner gets past 270 in the electoral vote count. Don’t like the system? Then work within it to change the system. But I have zero patience with protesters taking to the streets after an election in which it’s been established that some 43 percent of U.S. eligible voters (well over

95 million) didn’t cast a ballot. So enough with the navelgazing over the presidenSid Salter tial election. T h i s Columnist Thanksgiving, I choose to focus my attention on many more important things. I have two “some assembly required” projects for my grandchildren for the holiday that looms about a month from now. The box should read: “Lots of patience required.” But those projects will make my youngest grandson happy. And I’m all about making that little boy happy and guess what? He couldn’t care less who is moving into the White House. I’m thankful I got to watch him this year while he was learning to walk and throw his ball. I’ll have some extra time during the holidays with my wife, our children, and our grandchildren, which is the thing I cherish more and more with each passing year. My daughter is making a coconut cake from my mom’s old recipe. It brings back wonderful memories. My oldest grandson just

finished his seventh grade football season. On the list of things I’m thankful for, a big entry is that I made it to Carthage in time to sit through one of Rowan’s games. He was one of the starting cornerbacks for the Bearcats. About four plays into the game – in a driving rain – he snagged an interception! The driving rain turned into a monsoon. I had no umbrella, no hat, and came straight from work wearing a business suit. I was wet in places I didn’t know could get wet. But it was the greatest interception I’ve ever witnessed and I was for a brief happy time in my youth a professional sports writer covering college football. To paraphrase Mississippi State’s Fred Smoot: “Twothirds of Earth is covered by water, the rest by Rowan.” There are three granddaughters as well, all different but all wonderful. Morgan is full of energy, mischief, and stays in perpetual motion. She can’t stop talking, can’t stop laughing. Baylor has reddish hair, and both the temper and the tender heart to match. She is defiant, certain in her opinions, and just hates to say goodbye. And Kalli? She’s sweet, aﬀectionate,

and funny beyond words. Thanksgiving has three real phases for most of us. First is the phase where we travel with our parents to visit our grandparents. Then comes of the phase in the middle where as young parents we take our children to see our parents, their grandparents. Finally comes the phase we’re in, the one where we’re the destination for children and grandchildren. I’m thankful to have shared in all three phases of this most meaningful of holidays and I hope that when I say my prayers of Thanksgiving I communicate my absolute gratitude for the loved ones in my life and for the precious memories of those who have gone on ahead. Thanksgiving is a time to put aside diﬀerences and appreciate our blessings and to find the good even in projects – like children’s toys, like presidential administrations, like our complicated lives – in which “some assembly is required.” Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state.

Court should have,” said Brady. While vowing to ensure fair treatment for those before the court, Brady is also interested in more transparency within the court. “There’s somewhat of a shroud of secrecy around the Supreme Court,” he said. “It’s not like [local] courts where people get to hear the ruling right

away. They meet usually without the litigants there and certainly without the litigants being able to say anything or present evidence or explain themselves. It’s all done through the lawyers, through briefing … I think the members of the Supreme Court should be ever mindful that the decisions by the court aﬀect the litigants.”

Trump’s leadership style to be tested BY JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press

NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump looked at hundreds of marble samples before selecting one for the lobby of Trump Tower. He can recall, in painstaking detail even decades later, how he stood in the cold and oversaw the icemaking process at Central Park’s rink. And, during the campaign, he personally reviewed every single campaign ad, rejecting some over the smallest of perceived flaws. The hands-on, minutiae-obsessed management style that Trump has relied on for decades in the business world will now be tested by the presidency, an overwhelming job in which his predecessor says only the most challenging decisions even make it to the Oval Oﬃce. “Somebody noted to me that by the time something reaches my desk,

that means it’s really hard,” President Barack Obama has said. “Because if it were easy, somebody else would have made the decision and somebody else would have solved it.” The president-elect, at times, has been reluctant to delegate. But while his multinational business is indeed vast, the scope of the federal government exceeds any of his previous endeavors. Those close to him are gently suggesting that he will have to do some more delegating given the sheer volume of decisions needed to get his administration up and running, according to a person familiar with private discussions but not authorized to speak about them by name. Trump has chafed at that, but he has signaled willingness to relinquish some personal control. Over his career, Trump has been highly involved

with the decisions he cares deeply about. When building Trump Tower, the Manhattan skyscraper he calls home, he settled upon a rare marble, Breccia Pernice, for the building’s lobby. But when he inspected the pieces that had been tagged for use, he found some blemishes — prompting a personal trip to Italy. “So we ended up going to the quarry with black tape and marking oﬀ the slabs that were the best,” Trump wrote in his 1987 book, “The Art of the Deal.” ‘‘The rest we just scrapped — maybe 60 percent of the total. By the time we finished, we’d taken the whole top of the mountain and used up much of the quarry.” At the New York State Republican Dinner in April, Trump stood in front of a group of tuxedo-clad, moneyed, Manhattan peers, confidently

pointing out the details in the Grand Hyatt hotel ballroom’s ceiling, remembering how he oversaw the construction process. He then recalled his push to fix Central Park’s Wollman Rink, going into remarkable detail about the contract negotiations, the depth of the concrete, the need to switch from copper piping to rubber hose to keep the ice frozen, and even the conversation he had with the Montreal Canadiens’ head ice-maker to make sure the process went smoothly. “I hope that’s an interesting story,” Trump told the crowd. “Who the hell wants to talk about politics all the time, right? Politics gets a little boring!” But Trump almost certainly won’t be able to exert that same of control over his new employees: The federal workforce is more than 2 million people.

Dial up deals: Black Friday online sales set record BY ALEX VEIGA Associated Press

Holiday shoppers eager to snag big discounts turned to the internet in record fashion this week, one tracking company said, driving online sales on Black Friday to a new high. Consumers spent $3.34 billion shopping online on Friday, a 21.6 percent increase from the same day last year, according to Adobe, which tracks online retail transactions. More than ever before, shoppers used their mobile devices to dial up deals online, the firm said, as mobile purchases surged 33 percent on Black Friday to $1.2 billion. Retailers also racked up

online sales on Thanksgiving Day and the day before, the latest evidence that consumers are increasingly turning to online shopping as an alternative to wading into malls packed with holiday season bargain-hunters. College student Emilia Ollearis works at the Water Tower Place mall in Chicago but is doing virtually all of her shopping online. She said she prefers to go to a store to get a close look at merchandise, but that’s it. “I’ll go buy it online,” said Ollearis, 24. “I’m not gonna wait in line for it.” The trend also suggests that consumers are less willing to hold out for potential online deals

traditionally found on Cyber Monday, which is the Monday after Thanksgiving and has traditionally been the busiest day of the year for online shopping. “We had projected Cyber Monday to be a $3.36 billion day, and to win the crown of largest shopping day ever,” said Tamara Gaﬀney, principal analyst and director at Adobe Digital Insights. “But Cyber Monday may not have as much gas left in the tank.” The widespread use of mobile phones and access to high-speed internet are likely contributing to more shoppers turning to the internet ahead of Cyber Monday, Gaﬀney said. Retailers are also increasingly making

available online the type of door-buster deals typically reserved for store locations on Black Friday. Lisa Collins of Gilford, New Hampshire, will buy gifts online if she finds a better price and free shipping. “Never pay full price,” she said. She felt like prices were better than in past years. “I think there’s better deals. I think they’re paying attention to online sales,” she said.

Tax on e-cigarettes may deter smokers SAN DIEGO — Smoking has dropped to historic lows nationwide, but with that so has revenue from tobacco taxes. In search of funds, states have increasingly turned to taxing electronic cigarettes. The trend has sparked a fierce public health debate over whether it will deter smokers from switching to a safer alternative. California became the seventh state to tax ecigarettes after voters Nov. 8 overwhelmingly approved the ballot measure. Proposition 56 also will add a $2 per pack state tax to cigarettes onto the already existing 87 cents per pack tax. The vaping industry estimates the tax could hike up the price by more than 60 percent on the battery-operated devices and liquids, making it more expensive to vape than smoke, even with the additional per pack tobacco tax.

Sentencing set in shooting case WICHITA, Kan. — A federal judge will weigh the mental state of a woman who gave her ex-boyfriend guns he

used in February’s mass shooting at a Kansas lawn equipment factory in deciding what her sentence should be next week. The defense attorney for Sarah Hopkins has filed a sentencing memorandum that includes her psychological evaluation in advance of Monday’s hearing before U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren in Wichita. Though the memo is sealed, earlier defense filings cited an evaluation in March that concluded Hopkins suffered from PTSD and battered woman’s syndrome at the time of the offenses. Prosecutors say Hopkins gave a semi-automatic rifle and a handgun to Cedric Ford, a convicted felon who took those weapons to the Excel Industries plant in Hesston on Feb. 25 and shot several people, killing three and wounding 14. Ford was shot and killed by authorities. Hopkins pleaded guilty in September to a reduced charge for not alerting authorities that a convicted felon unlawfully possessed firearms. The charge carries a maximum sentence of three years, but prosecutors agreed in the plea deal to recommend a sentence at the low end of sentencing guidelines and not oppose her request for a

sentence of probation.

Army Corps plans to close camp

Fund money spent at retail shops

BISMARCK, N.D. — The chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe said Friday that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to close an area where people have been camping for months to protest the Dakota Access oil pipeline. Dave Archambault said in a statement that he received a letter from the Corps, dated Friday, which says all lands north of the Cannonball River will be closed Dec. 5. “The letter states that the lands will be closed to public access for safety concerns,” Archambault said. Representatives from the Army Corps of Engineers didn’t immediately return messages Friday seeking comment and verification of the letter. The letter, provided by the tribe, says: “To be clear, this means that no member of the general public, to include Dakota Access pipeline protesters, can be on these Corps lands.” It says anyone on land north of the river after Dec. 5 will be trespassing and may be prosecuted. It also says anyone who stays on the land does so at his or her own risk.

MOSS POINT — A Mississippi mayor says he is determined to find out why money for a police benefit fund was spent at places such as nail salons, a liquor store and retail shops. The Moss Point Police Benefit Fund was supposed to pay for community events such as the National Night Out Against Crime. But, records obtained by Sun Herald show two former city employees spent it at places with no obvious connection to such events.

Patrol stretched by shortage of troopers JACKSON — The Mississippi Highway Patrol is stretched to have enough troopers on the road, despite an effort to increase visibility during the Thanksgiving holiday. The Clarion-Ledger reports patrol staffing is close to an all-time low. Forty-eight people graduated from trooper school in 2015, but authorities say 66 troopers have left since then. About 150 more could retire, if they wanted. Stress and salaries are two big issues. Patrol spokesman Johnny Poulos says an increasing number of wrecks and injuries on

Mississippi’s highways and interstates is a result of short staffing.

Messages about skinning dog a hoax BROOKHAVEN — A Mississippi sheriff and police captain say officers investigated a Facebook message claiming the poster had skinned a trespassing dog and found what the sheriff calls a 17-year-old “being dumb.” Lincoln County Sheriff Steve Rushing says neighborhood dogs are all alive and the teen said he’d copied the photo from the internet. Rushing tells The Daily Leader that Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks representatives told him the photo shows a skinned raccoon.

Police investigating vandalism of mural COLUMBUS — Police are investigating the vandalism of a mural in Columbus, Mississippi, that depicts the city’s history of black entrepreneurship. The Commercial Dispatch reports that police plan to use security camera footage to identify a suspect responsible for defacing it with a line of black paint that covers the faces of seven people depicted on the mural. The city installed security cameras after the mural was vandalized

about two years ago.

Teen girl, man die in separate crashes A 14-year-old girl from Woodville, Mississippi, and a 33-year-old Baton Rouge man each was killed in Thanksgiving Day accidents in Louisiana. Louisiana State Police say Emily Sessions died in East Feliciana Parish after the vehicle she was in overturned and hit a tree. It happened about 4 p.m. near Norwood. The car’s driver, 24-year-old Shannon Sessions, and a third passenger suffered moderate injuries. In the earlier Thursday crash, David Breland III, drove his car into a culvert as he headed north on La. 30 about 5 a.m. Troopers say the car caught fire. Breland was pronounced dead by the coroner’s office.

Pedestrian hit, killed on railroad tracks BILOXI — There was a deadly accident on the railroad tracks in Biloxi late Thanksgiving Day. Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove told WLOX-TV that a person was walking on the tracks and was hit by an approaching train. It happened around midnight. The railroad crossing intersections at Eisenhower Drive and DeBuys Road were blocked for several hours.

The vision of former Alcorn County resident Shannon Phillips, the shopping destination is more than a typical clothing store, it’s an experience. “I knew from a teenager that I wanted to have my own boutique someday,” she said. “I worked in retail throughout high school and college and it was something I very much enjoyed.” When searching for the perfect name, Phillips knew she wanted the word “Southern” included. “I wanted to remain true to my Southern roots,” she said. “So, I just kept playing around with diﬀerent words and combinations until one day it just clicked in my head while driving.” Elegant, yet understated, Simply Southern is a dream many years in the making. The business opened its doors in 2013 and has been popular among shoppers ever since. In fact, the store has a combined following of over 22,000 fans on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.
