Latasha Dilworth, a shift leader at Walgreen’s in Corinth, was on duty Christmas Day. Walgreen’s is one of the few retail outlets open on the holiday.
Many people work on the holiday For some folks, Christmas is just another day on the job. Those who serve the Crossroads area on the quintessential holiday give up special time with family and friends to get their job done, many of which are very important on Christmas Day. None quite as important as the number one stop for area dads who forgot to “get batteries.” Walgreens shift lead Latasha Dilworth knows how important her store is to many on Christmas morning. “A lot of people are so thankful we’re open today -that someone is open today,” she said. “This is easily one of our busiest shopping days of the year.” Dilworth, who has worked Christmas Day every other
year since 2006, said she doesn’t mind working on the holiday. “It doesn’t bother me,” Dilworth added. “I don’t have any kids, so I handle working Christmas Day much better than some folks.” Across town Paula Campbell was enjoying a steady day in admissions at Magnolia Regional Health Center’s E.R. “There’s a mix of folks who come to the E.R. on Christmas Day,” the director of financial services said. “From children who have fallen playing with their Christmas gift to people who have eaten to much, we see it all on Christmas. Today, the overall hospital has been kinda busy. We actually have delivered several Christmas babies.”
Campbell, a 36 year veteran of the hospital industry, said she has worked at least half of the Christmases during her career. “My family learned a long time ago that everything comes second to my hospital job,” she said. “I have never made any of my staff work. I always ask if anyone can and if they can’t, then I work.” At Corinth Fire Station #4, Lieutenant David Smith and his two co-workers also reported a slow Christmas Day. “We want a slow day,” Smith said. “If we are having a busy day, then someone is having a bad Christmas. We don’t want that.” The 20-year firefighter said

Biggersville High School closed the first semester out this school year with an emotional goodbye to two of its own. Principal Gary Johnson and high school science teacher Cindy Condra retired from the positions they held for several years effective end of the year. Johnson, who came to Biggersville in 2001, began his career in education at fortyone. His history with Biggersville, however, goes much farther back. He started school in 1956 at Biggersville when there was only the old building at the front of the campus, a two-story agriculture and home economics building, and a wooden gymnasium. From that gym, he and his fellow basketball players made history. They earned Biggersville’s first county tournament championship, became district champs, and competed in the state playoffs. Johnson went on to play for the University of

son took in his campus. “This school has been a part of my life for 25 or 26 years. I was born and raised here and
have lived in this community all of my life,” he said. “I’m extremely proud of this school.” Scott Parvin, who teaches algebra at Biggersville, was in the eighth grade when Johnson graduated high school. The accomplished teacher now considers him a close friend as well. “He came into a school that had deteriorated over the years, physically. He worked hard to improve the campus and the technology in this school. He brought in a certain spirit that had not been here for a while,” said Parvin. That sentiment is echoed by all of those who were here when Johnson took the helm to work beside his employees. “I’ve been here since day one when Mr. Johnson came in,” said Ray Nash, who has been teaching ag sciences at Biggersville for 17 years and has worked hands-on beside the man who has become his friend for the past 13 years.

Approximately 35 local children participated in the Easom Outreach Foundation’s 2nd Annual Winter Wonderland Children’s Program.
Eason Outreach youth perform Christmas play BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
Bringing joy and warmth to the hearts of all who witnessed, approximately 35 local children participated in the Easom Outreach Foundation’s 2nd Annual Winter Wonderland Children’s program. Held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20, in the gymnasium of the Easom Community Center, the holiday play featured participants ages 5 to 15. According to Easom Outreach Foundation Chairman Samuel Crayton, merrymakers began the day with performances at two area nursing homes, the Mississippi Care Center and Cornerstone Health and Rehabilitation. “The residents sang,
smiled, swayed and reminisced as the children performed to holiday favorites such as, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “Blue Christmas,” “The Chipmunk Song,” “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Feliz Navidad” to name a few,” he said. After each performance, the children spent time individually greeting residents. “The applause, handshakes and hugs made the children feel like new reality TV stars,” said Crayton. Once the 3 p.m. performance was wrapped up at the Easom Community Center, the children honored their parents with the presentation of candy cane Christmas trees made during their three weeks of practice.
After performing their Christmas play, Eason Outreach youth spread smiling joy at two local nursing homes.

Today in History
WORK CONTINUED FROM 1A
Today is Friday, Dec. 26, the 360th day of 2014. There are five days left in the year. The seven-day African-American holiday Kwanzaa begins today. This is Boxing Day.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 26, 2004, more than 230,000 people, mostly in southern Asia, were killed by a 100-foot-high tsunami triggered by a 9.1-magnitude earthquake beneath the Indian Ocean.

Paula Campbell, director of patient financial services at Magnolia Regional Health Center, takes a call on Christmas Day, above. In her 36 years at the hospital, half of those were spent at the hospital on Christmas Day.
On this date: In 1776, the British suffered a major defeat in the Battle of Trenton during the Revolutionary War. In 1799, former President George Washington was eulogized by Col. Henry Lee as “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” In 1908, Jack Johnson became the first AfricanAmerican boxer to win the world heavyweight championship as he defeated Canadian Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia. In 1944, during the World War II Battle of the Bulge, the embattled U.S. 101st Airborne Division in Bastogne, Belgium, was relieved by units of the 4th Armored Division. In 1966, Kwanzaa was first celebrated. In 1972, the 33rd president of the United States, Harry S. Truman, died in Kansas City, Missouri, at age 88. In 1974, comedian Jack Benny died in Los Angeles at age 80. In 1994, French commandos stormed a hijacked Air France jetliner on the ground in Marseille, killing four Algerian hijackers and freeing 170 hostages. In 1996, 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado. (To date, the slaying remains unsolved.)
Clarification In reference to the front page story on Dec. 18 about the Corinth Board of Mayor and Alderman asking local legislators to support a bill that would give citizens a chance to vote on enacting a special local sales in Corinth for infrastructure work, it was reported at the time the tax would not exceed 1 percent and would likely be less than 1 percent. Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin said Wednesday the city would seek a vote on a special sales tax of 1⁄4 percent.

traditional turkey and dressing holiday fest. “Today has been great -- I think this is the best Crossroads Christmas we’ve ever had,” said Marea, who along with her husband spearhead the free meal. “Everything has just fell into place today. It’s really amazing.” More than 300 people turned out for the meal, with many in line as early as 9 a.m. “We blessed the food at 10:30 and never slowed down,” said Tommy. “It’s a good thing. We love being able to to provide a place for those who were lonely or who were in search of a good Christmas Day meal.” Self-proclaimed “hobo” Thomas Reeves, who rides fright trains across the country, was pointed to Crossroads Christmas by some kind hearted Corinth Police officers late Christmas Eve. “The love in this area is unlike any in the country,” said Reeves. “Everyone wanted to help me get to this place for a good hot meal and fellowship. It’s very refreshing.” Originally from Memphis, Reeves planned to hitch a ride back to the Bluff
City after he finished his dessert. Across the dinner table from Reeves sat Bill and Barbara Chelmowski, who often volunteer at Living Free. This time the couple was enjoying a Christmas meal instead of lending a helping hand. “This event is so important to the community,” said Bill. “Since we weren’t able to help this year, we decided to come eat. It’s great because everyone is welcomed here — being poor or rich doesn’t matter. It’s exactly what Jesus would want.” To go plates were available for those on the run and all children who attended were able to pick a toy from Living Free’s Christmas toy room. Tommy said volunteers were overwhelming. “We’re blessed to have so many people who are welling to help us make this happen. We have also received a ton of help from our Sunday school class at Oakland Baptist Church,” said Tommy. “Most of the food was donated as well. We have a friend from Guys, Tenn. (Keith Rinehart) who prepared 10 turkeys for the meal and The Dinner Bell donated us five large pans of dressing.” “It’s been a good Christmas Day for our family and we can’t wait to do this again next year,” he added.

Corinth, Miss.
What the war on cops has wrought “NYPD, KKK, How many kids did you kill today?” That was one of the chants of anti-police protesters in New York City. Another was, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!” Well, the marchers got their wish Saturday in BedfordStuyvesant when Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, firing into a patrol car, murdered NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and WenPatrick jian Liu. The two were executed by Buchanan this criminal who had just shot Columnist his girlfriend outside Baltimore and used social media to say he was going to Brooklyn to take revenge for Michael Brown and Eric Garner. “There’s blood on many hands tonight,” said Patrick Lynch of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, “That blood on the hands starts at City Hall in the office of the mayor.” Echoed Ed Mullins of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, “The blood of 2 executed police officers is on the hands of Mayor de Blasio.” Rudy Giuliani dissents. “The blood is not on his hands. ... That’s an incorrect and incendiary charge.” But, adds Rudy, “The protesters should not have been allowed to take over streets the way they did.” Indeed, they should not. And here is where the moral culpability of de Blasio, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and President Obama lies. They gave aid and comfort to the cop-haters and cop-baiters. When did any of these four speak up or speak out to denounce the blocking of squares, highways, bridges, tunnels, shops and stores, from New York to the Mall of America? When did they denounce the protesters for their hateful anti-police rhetoric? When did they demand that these mobs go home and respect the rule of law and decisions of the grand jury, even if they disagreed? When a Staten Island grand jury voted not to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner, the mayor did not urge the city to accept it calmly, but expressed astonishment, called it a “very painful day for so many New Yorkers,” and said he had warned his biracial son to be especially careful dealing with cops. After the shooting death of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson, Holder flew to St. Louis, decried racism, which had nothing to do with the shooting, ordered the FBI to conduct it’s own investigation, and declared, “I am the Attorney General ... but I am also a black man.” When a St. Louis County grand jury concluded no crime had been committed in Ferguson, that Wilson acted in self-defense, Holder said his department would look at charging Wilson with violating Brown’s civil rights. The Wall Street Journal writes today, “Especially in urban America, the police walk that line between civilization and mayhem every day.” Others say that the thin blue line stands between us and anarchy. True. But what does it say about our country that, if the police took a week off, our cities would descend into mayhem. In D.C. last week, an exasperated Police Chief Cathy Lanier said: “All of these protests that are blocking traffic, it’s pulling police officers out of the neighborhoods that need the police the most. ... So how do I prevent homicides and shootings and violent crimes and robberies and burglaries right before the holidays if all my cops are directing traffic around 30 guys that want to be out there at 11 o’clock at night laying in the middle of Chinatown?” Consider the chief’s statement. Is it police brutality or police violence that worries her? Are cops committing those homicides, shootings, violent crimes, robberies and burglaries? Or does that crime come out of the poor neighborhoods the cops are trying to protect? That’s the real D.C. That’s the real America. Unfortunately, de Blasio, Sharpton, Holder and Obama are either too blind to see it or will not concede it because they fear speaking truth to their followers. “To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)
Prayer for today Gracious Father, give me the courage to live my life, and the endurance to overcome the disappointments that may come to me. May I not be neglectful of the great opportunities of which I am privileged to take advantage. May I not be pretentious of what I have not done, or boastful of what I am, but with my best ability live in truth. Amen.
A verse to share “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” — Habakkuk 3:18
Race card can ruin us all The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call. It shows, in the most painful way, the high cost of having demagogues, politicians, mobs and the media constantly taking cheap shots at the police. Those cheap shots are in fact very expensive shots, not only to the police themselves but to the whole society. Someone once said that civilization is a thin crust over a volcano. The police are part of that thin crust. We have seen before our own eyes, first in Ferguson, Missouri and then in other communities, what happens when there is just a small crack in that crust, and barbarism and arson burst out. That can happen anywhere. So can what happened in New York. “Send not to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.” It is a painful irony that, on the eve of the murders of these two police officers in New York, some of the city’s police were already saying that, in the event of their deaths, they did not want Mayor Bill de Blasio to attend their funerals. We can only hope that Mayor de Blasio has some residual decency, so that he
will not defile these two officers’ memorial services with his presence. No politician in the Thomas country has Sowell done more to play the race Columnist card against the police and spread the notion that cops are the big problem in minority communities. It so happens that the police officers killed were both members of minority groups – Officer Rafael Ramos, Hispanic, and Officer Wenjian Liu, Asian. It so happens that a substantial part of the New York City police force are members of minority groups. But you might never know that from the story told by demagogues who depict the black community as a “colonial” society being “occupied” by white policemen who target young blacks. Mayor de Blasio joined the chorus of those saying that they have to warn their black sons how to cope with this situation. “What can we say to our sons?” some demagogues ask. They can say, “Don’t go around punching strangers, because it is only a matter of time before you punch the
wrong stranger.” Mayor de Blasio has made anti-police comments with Al Sharpton seated at his side. This is the same Al Sharpton with a trail of slime going back more than a quarter of a century, during which he has whipped up mobs and fomented race hatred from the days of the Tawana Brawley “rape” hoax of 1987 to the Duke University “rape” hoax of 2006 and the Ferguson riots of 2014. Many in the media and among the intelligentsia cherish the romantic tale of an “us” against “them” struggle of beleaguered ghetto blacks defending themselves against the aggression of white policemen. The gullible include both whites who don’t know what they are talking about and blacks who don’t know what they are talking about either, because they never grew up in a ghetto. Among the latter are the President of the United States and his Attorney General. Such people readily buy the story that ghetto social problems today – from children being raised without a father to runaway rates of murder – are “a legacy of slavery,” even though such social problems were nowhere near as severe in the
first half of the 20th century as they became in the second half. You would be hard pressed to name just five examples from the first half of the 20th century of the kinds of ghetto riots that have raged in more than a hundred cities during the second half. Such riots are a legacy of the social degeneracy of our times. Calling this social degeneracy “a legacy of slavery” is not just an excuse for those who engage in it, it is an excuse for the ideology of the intelligentsia behind the social policies that promoted this degeneracy. Let those who have laid a guilt trip on people in our times, for evils done by other people in past centuries, at least face their own responsibility for the evil consequences of their own notions and policies. If they won’t do it, then the rest of us need to stop listening gullibly to what they are saying. The race card is nothing to play with. It can ruin us all.

The rape on campus epidemic The total discrediting of Rolling Stone’s story on rape at the University of Virginia has shined a light on one of the least palatable features of American life: the so-called epidemic of rape on campus. Authorities from Barack Obama on down have cited the phony statistic that one in five college women is raped. Phony because it’s based on a 2007 survey conducted in two Midwestern schools not of a random sample, but of a small number of self-selected respondents and includes unwanted touching and kissing as “sexual assault.” A Department of Justice survey released this month presents a different picture. Between 1995 and 2013, it reports, an average of 0.61 percent of female students were raped or sexually assaulted every year — 2.4 percent over four years, not 20 percent. Moreover, DOJ reports, that rate has been declining significantly in recent years, in line with a national decline in violent rape. In other words, there is no suddenly raging epidemic of rape on campus. Accused students are not allowed to have lawyers or to confront witnesses, and legal rules of evidence do not apply. The California Legislature has passed a “yes means yes” law requir-

ing express consent at each stage of sexual encounters, with similar effects. These kanMichael Barone garoo courts can and do Columnist expel male students, putting a blot on their records for life. No wonder dozens of them are suing universities and getting big dollar settlements. No wonder 28 current and retired Harvard Law professors signed a letter calling such processes “deeply unfair and undemocratic.” Someday, I suspect, this frenzy will be seen as akin to the hysteria over satanic abuse in day care centers in the 1980s. Many people went to jail over utterly fraudulent charges, based on bogus psychological research. Or as akin to the Salem witch trials. It’s not surprising, however, that these abusive frenzies have taken hold at the nation’s colleges and universities. Consider campus speech codes. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education — FIRE — reports that 58 percent of the 427 colleges and universities it monitors have speech codes banning and penalizing speech
that is protected by the First Amendment. The good news is that the number of speech codes is declining, partly in response to FIRE’s advocacy and lawsuits. The bad news is that the Obama Education Department continues to use threats to cut off funding to get universities to ban “sexual harassment,” defined as “any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.” As FIRE notes, “This is an overbroad definition that is not in accordance with the First Amendment.” The rationale for speech codes? Usually it is so that students, especially racial minorities and women, should not encounter anything offensive on campus. Thoughts that someone doesn’t want to hear, administrators evidently believe, should not be allowed to be expressed. The authors of the First Amendment had a different idea. A third way in which universities and colleges are corrupted is in the widespread resort to racial quotas and preferences — literally, racial discrimination — in admissions to selective institutions. Of course, administrators do not admit they are discriminating by race. That would, among other things, violate the letter of the Civil Rights Act. But everyone

knows they are using “holistic” standards to admit more blacks and Hispanics (and thus fewer Asians and whites) than they would under the criteria they admit to using. Kangaroo courts, speech codes, racial discrimination: I suspect that some older readers cannot believe that such practices have become standard operating procedure at American colleges and universities – indeed, the major focus of many of the administrators who now outnumber teachers on the nation’s campuses. Historically, universities and colleges saw themselves as havens of free speech and fair play, insulated from the larger society to protect those things from interference. Now they insulate themselves in order to violate due process, suppress speech and discriminate by race. There’s still some good scholarship and teaching on campus. But it exists, uneasily, amid a culture of lying and intellectual corruption.

Hawaiians amazed by white Christmas HONOLULU — A rare blizzard that dusted two island mountaintops gave tourists and residents in Hawaii a white Christmas. The blizzard has eased, but strong winds are blowing the snow around on two Big Island summits. While snow on the mountains is common, a blizzard is unusual. The National Weather Service canceled a blizzard warning Thursday morning for the summits of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Weather service meteorologist Norman Hui says the mountains will remain snow-capped for a day or two before the powder melts. Â
Theaters screening ‘The Interview’ NEW YORK — Critics and early viewers agree that “The Interview� is less than a masterpiece. But thanks to threats from hackers that nearly derailed its release, it has become an event. Hundreds of theaters Thursday, from The Edge 8 in Greenville, Alabama, to Michael Moore’s Bijou by the Bay in Traverse City, Michigan, made special holiday arrangements for the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Sony Pictures had initially called off the release after major theater chains dropped the movie that was to have opened on as many as 3,000 screens. But with President Obama among others criticizing the decision, Sony officials changed their minds. “The Interview� became available on a variety of digital platforms Wednesday afternoon, including Google Play, YouTube Movies, Microsoft’s Xbox Video and a separate Sony website. Meanwhile, Sony and independent theaters agreed to release it in over 300 venues on Christmas. “We are taking a stand for freedom, said theater manager Lee Peterson of the Cinema Village East in Manhattan, where most of Thursday’s seven screenings had sold out by early afternoon. “We want to show the world that Americans will not be told what we can or cannot watch. Personally, I am not afraid.� Some venues showing “The Interview� were more likely to feature documentaries about North Korea than a low-brow comedy about it. At the Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe, New Mexico, owned by “Game of Thrones� author George RR Martin, the schedule also includes the Span-
ish art-house release “Flamenco,â€? the locally made “The Twilight Angelâ€? and an Italian film festival. Â
At 101, union rep is calling it quits NEW YORK — At 101, Charlie Ponti has finally decided to retire for good — probably. On Dec. 31, he will officially finish up a 77-year stint with the Office and Professional Employees International Union Local 153, where he started as a business representative and organizer and ended as the president of the local’s retirees association. “I loved what I was doing. That made me work harder. I loved to help people,â€? said Ponti, who was celebrated at an association luncheon at a Manhattan restaurant this month. The Rutherford, New Jersey, resident, who’s still spry and looks years younger than his age, started working for what was then the Bookkeepers, Stenographers and Accountants Union in 1937. (It took on its current title in 1967.) He remained an active member even when serving in the military during World War II, and he returned to his work duties mere weeks after coming home. Ponti would travel all over the city in his dealings with up to 198 different union shops before retiring the first time in 1977. He then took over the job of head of the retirees association, building it up as a politically active, involved group with regular meetings and events. In recent years, that’s meant going to the office once a week or so. Â
Obama’s chef to hang up apron WASHINGTON — Political advisers, chiefs of staff, press secretaries and national security advisers have come and gone in the nearly six years Barack Obama has been president. Now, the White House chef is also waving goodbye. Sam Kass has been a fixture at the executive mansion, serving up nutrition policy as well as meals for Obama, his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha. He was not only their personal chef but also senior adviser for nutrition policy, giving him a seat at the table where administration officials hashed out everything from updated food labels to new requirements for healthier school lunches. Kass, a newlywed, is leaving the White House at the end of the month, but don’t ask him what the Obamas like or don’t like to eat. “Top secret,� he said. “I love this family and believe in everything the

president and first lady are doing and this has been the greatest job of my life and I assume will be the greatest job of my life,â€? the 34-yearold said in an interview. “But I’m going to be with my wife. Once you’re married you kind of need to be together.â€? Kass’ wife, MSNBC host Alex Wagner, is based in New York City. Kass’ relationship with the Obamas started when they hired him to cook healthier meals for the family in Chicago before the 2008 elections. Michelle Obama was a vice president at the University of Chicago Medical Center and caring for young daughters, while Obama was a U.S. senator spending most of his time in Washington. Â

Power returns to town after storm COLUMBIA — Authorities say they have restored all power in the Mississippi town of Columbia, two days after a powerful tornado swept through, killing four people. Marion County coroner Norma Williamson tells The Hattiesburg American that 33-year-old Amber Sumrall of Sandy Hook was one of the four people killed in Tuesday’s storm. She died after being trapped in a beauty salon. Elizabeth Bordelon says her grandmother, 73-year-old MaryJean Sartin, died in their trailer home. Leonardo Drummond and Josie White were killed when the tornado hit their mobile home in Laurel. The property’s owners tell the station they asked the couple to come to their house to be safe, but Drummond and White decided to stay. Â
Again? What if it’s Bush-Clinton in ‘16? WASHINGTON — Again? Really? There are more than 300 million people in America, yet the same two families keep popping up when it comes to picking a president. The possibility of a Bush-Clinton matchup in 2016 is increasingly plausible. After months of hints and speculation, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush last week said he’s actively exploring a bid for the Republican nomination. And while Hillary Rodham Clinton hasn’t revealed her intentions, she’s seen as the oddson favorite for the Democratic nomination. Between them, the two potential rivals have three presidents and a U.S. senator in the branches of their family trees. And three governors, as well. Why are these two families so dominant in modern politics? It turns out that even though Americans profess to reject dynasties, in politics they’re quite comfortable with familiar names. And a famous name can bring a candidate instant brand recognition, important fundraising connections and a ready network of political contacts. It may also suggest competence at a time of dysfunction — like now. “Power begets power,� says Dartmouth College political scientist Brendan Nyhan. “Dynasties can selfperpetuate.� A political pedigree can have its negatives, though. A prominent surname sometimes carries unsavory associations and the risk of a fatigue factor.
Nissan supplier efforts key to more output CANTON — The old shipping racks at the Nissan Motor Co. supplier say “Topre, Cullman, AL.� The new ones say “Topre, Canton, MS.� That’s because Topre America’s robots, tended by 165 employees, are now welding together support frames for trucks inside a Mississippi facility that’s a long walk from where Nissan assembles them. Japanese-based Topre is one of seven suppliers expanding or setting up operations on Nissan’s Canton campus, part of the continuing push by automakers to draw critical suppliers close. The process has been going on for decades at various automakers, but as Nissan seeks to capture a larger piece of the thriving American market, it’s trying to rationalize its supply chain. The effort seeks to clear out room inside its sprawling Canton assembly facility so the Japanese automaker can increase capacity from the current 450,000 vehicles a year to 507,000 by 2017. To do so, Nissan must ensure supplies flow smoothly to the 240 loading docks where the company aims to unload auto parts only an hour before workers put them together into Muranos, Altimas, Titans and Armadas. On the other end of the complex from where Topre and other suppliers have set up shop, there’s a new 1.5-millionsquare-foot warehouse

where a Nissan contractor organizes parts from suppliers into the batches that the assembly plant needs to keep going around the clock. The expanded suppliers and logistics operation has helped push the total number of workers at the complex to 6,300, although many of the new employees don’t work for Nissan directly. Local government subsidized the construction of the new warehouse with tax-exempt bonds that Nissan will repay. Â
Puppies abandoned; reward offered GRENADA (AP) — In Defense of AnimalsHope Animal Sanctuary is offering a $750 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction of whoever dumped three newborn puppies at a Carrollton home. The shelter’s operations manager, Sharon Stone, said she found the puppies Tuesday morning in a driveway on Highway 35. Stone rescued the puppies, which were so young they had not yet opened their eyes. The organization says it plans to launch a campaign next year to help curb such abandonments. It will be called “Abandon An Animal-Taxi to Jail.â€? Â
Once most wanted fugitive dies in custody JACKSON — A woman once on the U.S. Marshals’ Most Wanted Fugitives list in connection with the death of her adopted child has died. The Mississippi De-
partment of Corrections says 43-year-old Janet Barreto died of natural causes shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday at Central Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. Barreto and her husband, Ramon, spent five years running from authorities after failing to appear for trial in 2009 in the death of their 2-year-old daughter, Enna. In August, a tip led authorities to the Barretos’ location in Portland, Oregon. Janet Barreto pleaded guilty to six counts of child endangerment, three counts of child abuse and one count of manslaughter. She was sentenced in September to 25 years in prison. Ramon Barreto is awaiting trial.
Corporate filings to be completed online JACKSON — Beginning Jan. 1, all corporate filings must be completed using the secretary of state’s new online filing system. Corporate filings may be submitted online or printed from the new filing system for submission with a check. On Aug. 25, Mississippi became the first state in the nation to provide online filing for all of its business services. According to a news release from the secretary of state’s office, the convenient, new software has trimmed thousands of dollars in mailing expenses from the agency’s budget. The new online filing system may be found at www.sos.ms.gov.

Flu virus hits, despite precaution of flu shot A headline on the news feed when I logged in to the Internet Wednesday read: “Your flu shot may not work this year.� The article was d a t e d one day before on Tuesday, DecemStacy ber 23rd. Jones H o w ever, it The certainly Dowtowner was not news to me. I was already emerging from the throes of a mild case of what I am almost certain was the flu. The subtitle of the article read: “Hand washing and wearing a face mask may still be the best ways to ward off the flu.� Very likely, no one except a severe obsessivecompulsive washes their hands more than I do. As for the second measure, I didn’t quite have the audacity to wear a face mask to school in front of my colleagues and students. Perhaps I should have had, though. Last Thursday, our last full day of school, my principal distributed canisters of antiseptic wipes and encouraged everyone to wipe down desks, tables, and doorknobs. He also advised that custodians would be setting off antiseptic foggers to disinfect classrooms late Thursday afternoon. On our last day of school last Friday, which fortunately lasts from 8:00-9:30, I woke up with a scratchy throat and general malaise. The irritated throat is characteristic of how allergy flare-ups begin for me. (Note that of late, I had bragged about averting allergies this entire fall semester of school.) I went to school, finalized students’ grades, and then went to the doctor to get a shot to alleviate what I surmised to be allergies. Before receiving the shot, I received the standard flu test, the result of which
was negative. That night I attended a Christmas party with my friend Tom, and we enjoyed the festivities until late into the evening. I still felt as if my malady amounted to nothing more than seasonal allergies. Until the next morning. Saturday I woke up with a 100-degree temperature and aches in various parts of my body. That afternoon I tried to watch a movie acquired from Netflix, Bringing up Baby, an old Cary Grant / Katherine Hepburn flick from 1938 that we had been looking forward to seeing. However, I couldn’t keep my eyes open or my head up. I had been eagerly anticipating attending the Corinth Theatre-Arts Christmas Party later that evening. After I had not moved from the couch all day, Tom, who said he wasn’t feeling great either, informed me that he was going to make chicken noodle soup and grilled cheeses—that I needed to stay at home that night. I didn’t argue, although I hated to miss the party. Sunday I felt as if someone had injected my body with proverbial lead. I ate two meals that day—waffles for brunch and chicken pot pie for dinner—even though I felt no hunger. Most of the day I had spent sleeping. I slept for so long that my back was sore from lying down. On Monday I thought I had rallied. My fever had broken, and I awoke determined to get several tasks done—and I did. I think, however, that my newfound muster was caused at least in part by delirium from the mix of antihistamine, decongestant, analgesic, and cough suppressant/ expectorant that Tom

“There was a lot that this campus lacked. Over the years we have spent a lot of time and effort in the summers and throughout the year to improve the facilities for the kids. Funds have always been short but through creativity and hard work, under Mr. Johnson’s vision, we always figured out a way.� When the school began installing interactive boards a few years ago, the ceiling mounts were going to cost several hundred dollars each. “Mr. Johnson decided that was a waste of money and put me on the task of coming up with an alternative. We saved a few thousand dollars. We have installed 13 of those boards, now for less than a hundred dollars total probably,� said Nash. “I’ve always told him that we should put a sign that reads: ‘We have gone so long with so little that we can do just about anything with nothing,’� Nash said. “With his vision, we built what we needed or found alternatives rather than going to the store and buying it.� The relationship of the summer crew including the maintenance folks and a few volunteers grew as the campus began to shine. Today, visitors often remark on the exceptional appearance, maintenance and cleanliness of the Biggersville campus. Those summers and projects became somewhat of hobby among friends. “I’ve enjoyed it all, but the best memories are the summers when we worked the hardest physically to make the place look better. We had a good time working, and it doesn’t seem like working when you’re having a good time and enjoy the people you’re working with,� said Nash. Long-time BHS employee Molly Nunley remembers her first experience with the man who sees problems amd solves them.

had me taking under his watch. I still had no appetite, but by late afternoon I managed to eat a slugburger from White Trolley. One can generally make that sacrifice, despite the circumstances. By Monday night I still felt horrible. I continued sleeping, plagued by a croupy cough. Unfortunately, I had indeed made Tom sick. He languished around the house even on Tuesday, unable to go to his office and do work. So, according to the article I read, the flu strain mutated, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said happened after the vaccination was created. Apparently, it attacked both of us, as well as many others. Tom had told me Saturday when he, too, wasn’t feeling well that if I made him sick, he was going to kick my posterior. Perhaps I can blame this one, though, on the CDC.

joined in the laughter and nodded heads understanding what he meant. Condra, who has long been a champion of Biggersville and the students, loves her other family. “I love Biggersville,� she said. “This is my school family. “Like Mr. Parvin has said, it doesn’t matter where the teachers are or where the kids come from, everybody fits in. We are a family and care about each other.� That has been seen clearly over the years as she has taught high school sciences including biology, a state tested area. The exceptional educator has celebrated and cried with students over the years of state testing. “She willingly put forth every effort into her students and their success on these tests. Some years were tough with more students struggling, but she never gave up any of them,� Parvin said. Biggersville teacher Anna Rogers, who quickly became one of Condra’s close friends, will be taking part of her sciences, including a biology class next year. Rogers understands the impact of Condra’s influence. “These are some really big shoes to fill. It’s intimidating. The kids love her and for the students who have had her, the sciences will never be the same. They will definitely miss her unique personality,� said Rogers “I have no qualms about teaching the subjects; however, she is more than a teacher, she is a character. It does give me confidence to know that she will be here to help if I need her because she has become a treasured friend in the short few months I have known her.� “Biggersville is a great little school and will always be a treasure for those who work and attend it,� Condra said.

“It was (Johnson’s) first year and football season. I always took up.the money sitting outside at a little table. One night it was really cold and I had a blanket wrapped me taking up money,� said Nunley. “He never said anything, but the next game I had a little building to sit in. I was so excited. That’s the way he is. He observes needs and then takes are of them.� A humble Johnson is quick to credit his maintenance staff, summer friends, other faculty members, and students for their efforts on the campus. “We have all worked together,� he said. Condra, who is also touted as being an exceptional teacher by many, said she loved working for Johnson because he didn’t ask his teachers to do anything he wouldn’t do. “He would be talking to me and bend over to pick up a piece of paper in the hall, and I would find myself looking for something to pick up. I have never worked a ballgame either that he was not working beside me, popping popcorn or wrapping hotdogs. Over the years, there have been very few games he missed, whether here or away and that takes a toll on a person,� noted Condra. Condra, whose dry wit and treasure trove of knowledge not known to the common man or woman, will be sorely missed. In 1996, she came to Biggersville to finish out the final 18 years of her 26 in education. In a farewell retirement celebration, Johnson told how much he appreciated Condra’s hard work and that he had learned a long time ago that she was the smartest person he knows. “She is not just smart,� he said, “but scary smart. One time I got into a conversation with her about genetics, and I knew I had to get out of that conversation quickly.� Faculty members

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian What are the Daily Corinthian’s Top 10 Stories of 2014? See Staff Writer/Photographer Jebb Johnston’s story coming Wednesday.
Suicidal Internet ‘friend’ needs professional help DEAR ABBY: I’m a grad student who enjoys perusing social networks for jokes and stuff. The other day I came across a post from someone who said he wanted to kill himself. Naturally, I kind of freaked out. I contacted the person to ask him not to and thankfully he didn’t. Normally I don’t do the whole “InterAbigail net friend” Van Buren thing, but we decided to Dear Abby keep chatting and since then we have become fast friends. I’m not sure how to help this person, though. He is in the military and fears losing his job if he seeks help. I don’t want to pressure him into seeing a professional, since part of what’s causing his anxiety is being ordered around constantly, but I don’t want him to hurt himself. I know I can’t save this person; I can only walk alongside while he figures it all out, but I don’t want him to suffer. Please tell me what to do! -- LONGDISTANCE FRIEND DEAR LONG-DISTANCE FRIEND: I’ll try. Are you SURE this person is who he purports to be?
Suicidal people don’t usually broadcast it to strangers they meet on the Internet. When you say he’s afraid that if he seeks professional help he’ll lose his job, is he intending to make a career in the military? If the answer is yes, and he doesn’t like “being ordered around constantly,” he has chosen the wrong career. You should tell this individual that it’s essential he talk to someone about his suicidal impulses who has the training to actually help him with his suffering (your word). If you encourage him to lean on you, it will only prolong his procrastination about standing on his own two feet. For BOTH your sakes, deliver your message clearly and back away. Because you have known each other for such a short time, it shouldn’t be too traumatic. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I will celebrate our 50th anniversary soon. One hundred and twenty-five invitations were sent and 80 people have responded that they will be attending. I have wondered about the 45 invitees who didn’t respond one way or the other. Today I was told there’s a new rule of etiquette regarding the RSVP on an invitation -- that one doesn’t have to respond unless one is attending the
function. Is this true? Am I out of step with the current social culture? I am more than aware that it has changed -- and would debate that it probably hasn’t changed for the better with regard to social courtesy. So, in planning any function that entails food, hotel rooms, etc., am I to assume no response is a negative one? -- QUESTIONING IN THE SOUTHEAST DEAR QUESTIONING: You are not out of step. There is no “new rule,” unless the invitation specifies “regrets only.” RSVP still means what it always has: “Repondez s’il vous plait.” That’s French for “Please respond.” It doesn’t mean to respond only if you plan on being there. Polite people take note of the phone number at the bottom of the invitation, or the little card included with it, and accept or decline. While it’s safe to assume that the individuals you didn’t hear from won’t be coming, it’s also a clue that they may not have been taught good manners. 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 will change your mind. More than that, you’ll know your mind because you’ll have a sounding board. Having someone to bounce your ideas off of is a huge gift. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re hot on the social scene, and you don’t even have to try. Being around family is like hanging out with a mirror. Use what you’re finding out to decide which habits to keep and which to lose. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your mood affects everyone around you. Taking good care of yourself is the most selfless and loving act you can do for the world. When you feel good, you radiate good. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The check really is in the mail, but it’s going to take an extra couple of days to reach you. Knowing that you can walk away at any time gives you leverage. Listen to what your higher sense
is telling you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Forge ahead with projects and plans. Business associates may drag their feet, but these are temporary delays. You deserve to have what you want -- not approximately, but exactly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No relationship is fun and sunshine all of the time, but you get so many perfect moments this month, it will feel like you’re existing in a little slice of heaven. You may even dare to work and/ or travel with loved ones. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What good is getting what you want if you don’t want what you have? Examine your plate very carefully. There are things on it that weren’t meant for you. Be discerning. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are doing it for them. Therefore, they need to be aware of your efforts. They need to know what your intentions are. They
need to know your purpose. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll understand something you’ve known in a new way. What you learn this week will change your life forever. You’ll operate differently because of this knowledge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Emotions flow from you in a most pleasant way. You are one of a kind, and your talents will never be duplicated. The way to happiness is to be a fountain, not a drain. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Thinking about what goes into your mouth? It’s significant. Eating is not just eating. Every meal is a testament to the fathers and mothers before. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If they expect you to candy coat information and deliver it in a politically correct way, they don’t know you well enough. You’re in love with the truth. That’s what makes you so funny!

Woman questions how to help her sister WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: My 50-something sister, “Denise,” has turned into a hostile, critical person. I visit my family four times a year and have witnessed her angry outbursts firsthand. My other siblings have become very proficient at pacifying Denise by always agreeing with her and being solicitous toward her. Denise is not a bad person, so it is shocking to see her act this way. Most of the time, her anger is directed at sales people or drivers on the road. But I also seem to have become the target of her wrath, sometimes in the middle of a conversation. When I ask her what I said to upset her, she cannot tell me. She storms out of the room shouting and cursing. What’s worse is that Denise has managed to sour my relationship with my other siblings. They blame me for upsetting her. Denise has directed these rages at our mother, too. This has gone on for the past three years. Recently, Denise told me our other siblings do not like me because I upset her. My husband has noticed the change in my sister’s temperament and has caught her making fun of me or criticizing me. When he calls her on it, she claims she is only teasing. Without these outbursts, Denise and I have a great
Annie’s Mailbox time together. But it rarely lasts. Even after we’ve had a good day, she’ll report to our siblings that I aggravate her and she can’t stand being around me. I do not know what to do. I try to limit my contact with her and word our conversations very carefully. I would like to maintain a relationship with my other siblings, but she is making it impossible. Any advice? -- No Name, Please. Dear No Name: Has Denise had a thorough medical checkup recently? She may have a hormonal imbalance or other condition that is causing these outbursts. Please tell her you are concerned about her and suggest she speak to her doctor. She must be terribly unhappy to have so little control over herself. Dear Annie: I lost both of my parents a couple of years ago, and I would like to impart a very important message to your readers: Please express your last wishes to your family and loved ones. My family was reluctant to have these discussions, so we
were left guessing. As the executrix of my parents’ estate, I didn’t know what their final wishes were. My brothers and I inherited their estate, but I would have gladly given that back tenfold had my parents been able to enjoy one more year of their hardearned retirement. Yet, two years later, I am still left forever hoping that I honored what I thought they wanted. If you feel that this is a subject you cannot broach, just leave a letter or legal document with instructions, and make sure it can be easily found. -- C.B. in New Hampshire Dear C.B.: Thank you for the sage advice. It is often easier to speak to an attorney about one’s final wishes, but instructions for a funeral are likely not disclosed until after the fact. Write down what you want, make a couple of copies and leave them where they are most likely to be discovered by those who are looking.

Harbaugh on the trading block? SANTA CLARA, Calif. — How do you trade a coach? It’s more complicated than trading a player, which explains why it has happened only a handful of times in the modern era, albeit involving some of the biggest names in coaching — Gruden, Bill Belichick, Bill Parcells and Dick Vermeil, to name a few. It’s such tricky process that the 49ers might have to fire Harbaugh if they can’t swing a deal — or if the coach refuses to play along. (He would have to sign off on any deal and might not be in the mood to make things easy on his bosses). Harbaugh won like crazy, especially over his first three seasons when the team went 36-11-1 and reached three NFC title games and a Super Bowl. But along the way he has clashed with CEO Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke, who have apparently concluded that the Harbaughinduced headaches now outweigh the wins.

Thunder rumbles over Spurs BY RAUL DOMINGUEZ Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Russell Westbrook scored 34 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 114-106 on Thursday in a fiery rematch of last season’s Western Conference Finals. The Thunder earned their sixth straight regular-season victory over the defending NBA champions in the first meeting between the teams since San Antonio topped Oklahoma City in six games on the way to a fifth title. The Thunder were without reigning MVP Kevin Durant, and the Spurs were missing Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, but there was still plenty of firepower. Serge Ibaka had 21 points, including going 3 for 4 on 3-pointers for Oklahoma City (14-16). Steven Adams added 16 points and 15 re-
bounds to offset San Antonio center Tiago Splitter matching his season-high with 14 points. Matt Bonner had 17 points to lead seven players in double figures for San Antonio (18-12), which has lost five of six. Tim Duncan had 15 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Spurs. Duncan left with 4:31 remaining, walking gingerly and grabbing the brace on his left knee, but returned 2 minutes later.

Central Michigan falls to Western Kentucky Associated Press
NASSAU, Bahamas — For Central Michigan, there was a comeback, a record, a miracle and a gamble. They’re now all part of Chippewa lore. They just weren’t enough for a bowl win. Storming back from 35 points down in the final 12 minutes and getting the last score on a dazzling lateralfilled play as time expired, Central Michigan wound up one play short Wednesday in the Bahamas Bowl. Western Kentucky overcame a recordsetting seven touchdown passes from Cooper Rush and beat the Chippewas 49-48 in the first bowl played outside the U.S. or Canada since 1937. “Our team is never going to quit while I’m the head football coach,” Central Michigan coach Dan Enos said. “We’ve got blue collar guys. They
work. They’ve got great character. Football mirrors life. There’s adversity. There’s ups and downs. You get your butt kicked and you got to bounce back. That’s what these guys did. They battled back.” Just not all the way back. Central Michigan (7-6) scored the final five touchdowns of the game, including a three-lateral, 75-yarder on the final play where six Chippewas — one center, one quarterback and four receivers — touched the ball. Officially, it went down as a touchdown pass to Titus Davis by Rush, his seventh of the day, one more than anyone had ever thrown in any bowl game. Central Michigan went for a 2-point conversion and the win, only to have it broken up by Western Kentucky’s Wonderful Terry. A wonderful finish, indeed.
“I want to tell Central Michigan that’s one heck of a job by them,” Western Kentucky coach Jeff Brohm said. “They showed the heart and spirit that this game is all about.” Here’s how the miracle happened: The Chippewas got the ball on their own 25 with a second remaining after a punt, trailing 49-42. Rush threw deep to Jesse Kroll, who caught the ball between three defenders at the 29. Kroll advanced the ball slightly before lateraling to Deon Butler, who got the ball to Courtney Williams just before getting tackled. Williams then tossed the ball to Davis, who caught it at the 15 and outran three Western Kentucky players to the end zone, reaching to knock over the pylon as he fell out of bounds to complete the bizarre play. Enos said he originally
planned to kick the extra point. He then changed his mind, a decision that’s surely going to be debated. “Cooper had thrown seven touchdown passes already in the game, so we figured he was pretty hot,” Enos said. “We didn’t want to go to overtime because we had trouble stopping them all day. We thought we had momentum so we’d try to win the game.” When the conversion pass hit the ground, only then could the Hilltoppers exhale. “It was a roller-coaster ride,” said Western Kentucky quarterback Brandon Doughty, who threw five touchdowns pass to increase his nation-leading total to 49 on the season. “We were just lucky and blessed that we got the win.” Very lucky.

Cavs start process of moving on without Varejao BY TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI — Cleveland coach David Blatt can relate to what Anderson Varejao is going through, because he also once went through the process of rehabilitating a torn Achilles. “A tough injury,” Blatt said. Tough would also describe the process that awaits the Cavaliers, who will be without their starting center and one of LeBron James’ closest confidants for the remainder of the season. Varejao was injured in Cleveland’s win over Minnesota on Tuesday night, falling to the court in obvious pain after positioning himself for a rebound in the third quarter.
And on Wednesday, the Cavs’ worst fears were officially confirmed. “It’s a little tough talk about the impact of not having him, because this is the first game that we don’t,” Blatt said. “But I will say that obviously, we’re going to miss Andy. He’s a big part of our team as a player, as a personality. That’s part of sport and part of basketball, certainly. You have to deal with injuries and with guys going down.” Kevin Love was listed as the starter in Varejao’s spot Thursday, when the Cavaliers visited the Miami Heat in James’ return to the arena he called home for the past four seasons. Varejao’s departure
will also mean more minutes for Tristan Thompson — who made 189 consecutive starts for Cleveland before this season began — and probably down low for James as well. Regardless, it will challenge Cleveland’s depth, and the expectation is that the Cavaliers will seek to add another big man before long. “We will approach it initially on a game-to-game basis, maybe more matchup-oriented,” Blatt said. “We’ll look down the line to see what we can do on a more permanent basis and guys will step up.” Varejao averaged 9.8 points and 6.5 rebounds this season. He also shot just under 56 percent, his best since the
2009-10 season. Not coincidentally, that was the most recent season where he and James were Cleveland teammates. James has long raved about what Varejao means to the Cavaliers on the court and off, and the four-time MVP knows losing the wild-haired Brazilian is a blow to Cleveland’s championship hopes. “It’s tough,” James said. “It hurts our team. More than anything it’s just tough on him. ... He’s a great friend of mine and I hate the fact that his season is taken away like that.” This is the fourth time in Please see CAVS | 11A
Manning intends to return for 18th season in 2015 BY ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — NFL fans and fantasy football owners debating Peyton Manning’s prowess and problems can continue that discussion well into the new year. The five-time MVP says he plans to return to the Denver Broncos in 2015 for an 18th NFL season. Manning was asked during his weekly news conference Wednesday
if there were a set of circumstances that would lead him to retire after the upcoming playoffs. “I have not thought about those circumstances at all,” Manning replied. “So, I certainly plan on being back, if the Broncos will have me. But at this point, I’m kind of thinking about Oakland.” A win over the Raiders (312) on Sunday would earn the Broncos (11-4) a first-round
bye. Manning said he knows talk this time of year turns to the coaching carousel and “I get to fall into that category because maybe I’m closer to the same age as some of the coaches. But yeah, I have no plans along those lines. I’m enjoying playing and looking forward to Sunday’s game and the game to follow that.” Manning, 38, is trying to supplant his boss, Broncos GM John Elway, as the oldest
QB to win a Super Bowl. But first, he’s trying to bounce back from a poor performance in Denver’s 37-28 loss Monday night at Cincinnati, where he threw four interceptions for the sixth time in his career. Although the Broncos have down-shifted their high-octane offense over the past several weeks to work on a better ground game, Please see MANNING | 11A
Illini open Big Ten bowl slate, face Louisiana Tech Associated Press
DALLAS — Illinois needed to win its last two games to become bowl eligible, then had to wait another week before finding out if there would be more football. Louisiana Tech knew after winning six of seven at the end of the regular season that it was going to a bowl. And the Bulldogs have already played an extra week, a tight 26-23 loss to Marshall in the Conference USA champion-
ship game. Now the Illini (6-6) of the Big Ten and the Bulldogs (8-5), both coached by the sons of coaches, meet Friday in the Heart of Dallas Bowl that is played at historic Cotton Bowl Stadium. It’s the first of 10 bowl games involving a Big Ten team, and the last of five for Conference USA. “You want to go into your winter workouts with success and you want your seniors to leave with success,” third-
year Illinois coach Tim Beckman said. “They have done a great job with this program. I’m proud of them. We have made strides from Day 1, and we are doing it on and off the football field.” This is the third time in five seasons the Illini go into a bowl 6-6. They won the previous two for a winning record, but that was before they went 6-18 in Beckman’s first two seasons. Skip Holtz is wrapping up his second year at Louisiana
Tech, which last played in a bowl game in 2011. The Bulldogs overcame a 2-3 start this season that included games against Oklahoma and Auburn, then both top-five teams. “We knew it was going to be a challenging start,” Holtz said. “We talked about we’re a work in progress as a young team, and we had to grow and develop as the year went on, and I felt like they really did that.”

The ending largely overshadowed a huge day by Doughty, who threw for 486 yards. Doughty completed 31 of 42 passes for the Hilltoppers and capped the sixth-highest singleseason touchdown total in major college football history. Anthony Wales and Leon Allen added touchdown runs for the Hilltoppers. Rush threw for 485 yards. He never had more than three touchdowns in a college game, and wound up being credited with five in the final 12 minutes for the Chippewas. “We just kept grinding away, taking it one play at a time,� Rush said. “From the huddle we just kept saying, ‘One play at a time.’ And next thing you know we look up and the score’s getting closer and closer and that’s when you know you’ve got a chance to win it.� The teams finished
with 1,254 yards of offense, 647 by Western Kentucky (8-5). McNeal caught five passes for 155 yards for the Hilltoppers, who got 95 yards rushing from Wales. Davis had 147 receiving yards and four touchdown grabs, including the one on the final play, for Central Michigan. The finish was one that Brohm understandably likened to the infamous StanfordCal, multi-lateral finish with the Cardinal band already on the field — known simply as “The Play� that gave the Golden Bears a 25-20 win in 1982. “This one may have been even better,� Brohm said, “other than there wasn’t a band on the field.� This game was the first of a planned run of at least six years of bowl matchups in the Bahamas.

the last five years that Varejao will miss more than half the Cavaliers’ games. He played in 76 out of a possible 230 games in a three-season stretch between 2010-11 and 201213 because of an array of injuries, then missed 17 more games last season. Varejao will have surgery in the coming days, after which his rehabilitation schedule and po-
tential timetable for a return will be determined. Typically, the return time from such an injury is around nine months, which means Varejao — who signed an extension earlier this year that could keep him in Cleveland through 2017-18 — should be ready for the start of next season. “He’s a big part, a huge part, of our success,� James said. “It’s going to be hard to replace him.�

Manning has thrown just five TD passes to go with six interceptions in the past month. That’s sparked a debate over whether time is finally catching up to Manning despite his posting a 39-12 record following spinal fusion surgery in 2011. With every interception, the debate grows in both traditional and social media over his age, health and even his credentials. “Yeah, that’s probably a little deeper than I can handle,� Manning said. “... But the ones the other night were a combination of bad throws and bad decisions. I take a lot of pride in trying to be an accurate quarterback and trying to be disciplined in my decision making. So, I didn’t play up to my standards the other night and certainly on those four particular plays, I’ve got to do a better job. Manning is in some ways a victim of his own greatness.

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s Receiving an email from a friend the other day reminded me of just how off base some of our political leaders and judges have gone. It is very evident that our society has changed from a majority rules type system to one that doesn’t offend anyone. I am not a person that wants to offend anyone either, however I am a person that doesn’t like to see our rights and privileges taken away because one or two object. The basic freedom of religion and the mention of God and His commandments have just about been banned from any public forum because someone may be offended. Worse than this is that many subjects that should be learned in the home are allowed to be taught in school, by a teacher, coach, or a
principal who are uncomfortable talking about such subjects, whether Gary e v e r y o n e Andrews likes it or not. It’s Devotionals kind of a double standard, wouldn’t you think? The story tells of a principal that speaks over the loud speaker at a football game as to what the supreme court says is okay to talk about at school and what is not okay to talk about at school. The principal said, “Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to ap-
prove of sexual perversion and call it “an alternate life style,” and if someone is offended, that’s OK. I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, “safe sex.” If someone is offended, that’s OK. I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a “viable means of birth control.” If someone is offended, no problem... I can designate a school day as “Earth Day” and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess “Mother Earth” and call it “ecology..” I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as “simple minded” and “ignorant” and
call it “enlightenment..” However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated. This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments. Nevertheless, as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical. I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression. For this reason, I shall “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s,” and re-
frain from praying at this time. “However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so.. As far as I know, that’s not against the law----yet.” One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray. They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer’s Box! The only place they didn’t pray was in the Supreme Court of United States of America- the seat of “Justice” in the “one nation, under GOD.” Why have we allowed this to happen in the greatest country in the world, one that has been Blessed by God for over
Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday - Matthew 24:4-13; Monday – Psalm 27:7-14; Tuesday – Genesis 32:912; Wednesday – 1 Kings 3:1-15; Thursday – Galatians 2:16; Friday – Proverbs 20:5-12; Saturday – Jude 1:4-10.) 200 years and now turn away from Him? Prayer: Father, thank you for the many blessings you have given this country and have given me. I pray that everyone will turn to you for guidance and assurance that you are the one and only true God. Amen. (Alcorn County native Gary Andrews is a columnist for the Daily Corinthian.)

Graham ministry tells the rest of ‘Unbroken’ story BOONE, N.C. — The Rev. Franklin Graham says the film “Unbroken,” which opens Christmas day, dramatically portrays the early life of Louis Zamperini, from his troubled youth to an Olympic medal and amazing survival at sea and in a brutal Japanese prison camp during World War II. But Graham says the movie fails to show what happened next: how the traumatized veteran became broken by hatred for his captors, alcoholism and a failing marriage. The book “Unbroken” also described Zamperini’s conversion at a 1949 Billy Graham crusade, and the healing and forgiveness that followed. Zamperini, who died this year at the age of
97, emphasized that turning point in his life in an interview at Graham’s ministry when the book was published. Franklin Graham says excerpts of that interview can be seen in the video “Louis Zamperini: Captured By Grace,” which also will be released on Christmas day. It will be broadcast on Fox and also will be viewable online at www.billygraham. org.

tures. Dixon was also told to remove debris. Dixon faces legal action if he doesn’t comply by Friday. Dixon manages a haunted house attraction and decided to create a zombie nativity. It has a small creature with allwhite eyes sitting up in the manger where the baby Jesus would be in traditional Christmas nativities. There’s a Facebook page for the scene and Dixon says he considers it a holiday decoration.
Tsunami survivors recall how mosques stood firm BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — When a powerful tsunami smashed into the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh 10 years
ago, the only structures left standing in many neighborhoods were mosques. For the hundreds who found refuge within their walls, the buildings’ lifesaving role has not been forgotten — and for many, that experience strengthened their faith. Architectural experts say the mosques in Banda Aceh survived because they were sturdily built and had stronger foundations than surrounding structures, many of which were likely constructed of shoddier materials. But many survivors believe the mosques were spared by divine intervention. Many residents of Aceh, the most predominantly Muslim province in all of Indonesia, viewed the disaster as punish-
DENIAL IS A MONSTROUS LIE Every human (spirit) who denies that Jesus Christ has “come in the flesh is not of God” (I John 4:2-3). John is quite clear on this. “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist” (II John 7). The ONLY way to the Father is through the Son (John 14:6), so the denial that Jesus was “manifested in the flesh” is truly the “monstrous lie”. We may not know all the reasons why “God was manifested in the flesh” (I Timothy 3:16), but some are revealed in the Scriptures. Please note the following: (1) He was “manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin” (I John 3:5), and since all have sinned, all need the Savior (Romans 3:21-23). (2) He “tasted death for all” (Hebrews 2:9) as a “substitute” for us who deserved to die the cruel death of the cross. We earned the “wages of sin”. He didn’t. Yet he sacrificed Himself for us that we might have the “gift” of eternal life (Romans 6:23). (3) He showed us the Father- what He was like, His power, His love, His compassion. When the Son said those who “have seen Me have seen the Father” (John 14:9), He obviously was not saying He was the Father, but that He was the “express image” of His Father, and when He had purged our sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Father on high (Hebrews 1:3). (4) He proved He was our only qualified “merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God”. Through His manifestation in flesh He showed He not only had sympathy “for” us, but also empathy “with” us (Hebrews 2:17-18; 4:15-16). (5) “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil” (I John 3:9). The works of the devil include sin, death, and despair (Hebrews 2: 14-15). (6) Jesus became a man that He, by His grace, might teach us to deny evil things in our lives and pursue virtuous things, and that He might “purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works” (Titus 2:11-14). Come worship with us. Happy New Year.

ment for their lack of devotion to God. Faisal Ali, a prominent cleric, says the tsunami has actually made many more devout.
Pope critiques Vatican bureaucracy VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has issued a blistering critique of the Vatican bureaucracy. He has denounced how some lust for power at the expense of others, live hypocritical double lives and suffer from “spiritual Alzheimer’s” that has made them forget they’re supposed to be joyful men of God.
Francis’ Christmas greeting Monday to the cardinals, bishops and priests who run the Holy See was less a joyful exchange of holiday good wishes than a sobering catalog of what Francis called the “ailments of the Curia” that he hoped would be atoned for and cured. Francis has not shied from complaining about the gossiping, careerism and power intrigues that afflict the Vatican. But as his reform agenda gathers steam, he seems even more emboldened to highlight what ails the institution.
WHEN WAS CHRIST BORN? Paul makes some statements about Christ in Galatians 4:4, “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law”. So Christ was born at the right time, of a woman, and under the law of Moses. The good news is that He was born and became our Savior. “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). Learned and scholarly men have placed the birth of Christ in every month of the calendar. Many honest and sincere people still believe and teach that Christ was born on December 25th. December 25th was ordered the birthday of Christ in A.D. 357 by Liberius, Bishiop of Rome (Britannica Encyclopedia). Adam Clark in his comments on Luke 2 stated, “...the Latin church, supreme in power, and infallible in judgment, placed the birth of Jesus on the 25th of December, the very day on which the ancient Romans celebrated the feast of their goddess Brutus...” Isaiah reveals something miraculous about the birth of Christ because He was born of a virgin. “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sing, Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). The Bible does speak of the birth of Christ, but does not reveal the date of His birth. Christ promised to guide the apostles into all truth, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come” (John 16:13). All truth revealed to the apostles did not include when Christ was born. All evidence considered, we conclude that the birthday of Christ is still unknown. We meet for worship on the day that Christ was resurrected which is the first day of the week. Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper as a memorial to His death. “And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come (I Corinthians 11:24-26). We are taught to remember the death of Christ, but we are not taught to have a memorial to His birth.
