Corinth tourism director resigns City board of aldermen meets today to find replacements for tourism board BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A day after the Corinth Board of Aldermen and Alcorn County Board of Supervisors removed the entire board of directors of the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Tourism Director Kristy White tendered her resignation. The letter submitted to the

city and county Thursday afternoon says the resignation is effective at the first meeting of the new board of directors that is to be appointed. The Board of Aldermen has a special meeting scheduled for 4 p.m. today to begin looking at new appointees for the tourism board. “In light of the recent actions

by the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors and the Mayor and Board of Alderman of the City of Corinth,” the letter states, “with a 45 percent budget redirection; a drastic salary cut for all full-time staff members — based not on performance or revenue issues; and, finally, the dismissal of the entire, seated board of directors, I feel as if

there has been a vote of ‘no confidence’ by the local leadership in my abilities as executive director. Furthermore, I will not remain in a position where the performance of the staff and board of directors is so grossly undervalued.” The budget dispute followed the city’s and county’s request that $250,000 of the $583,000

‘The test of time’

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Area counties saw moderation in their jobless rates during November. It is typically a month that shows little change in unadjusted unemployment rates, but Alcorn and neighboring counties all managed decreases. Alcorn County’s rate dropped a full percentage point to 7.5 percent, ranking it 23rd among the 82 counties, while Mississippi unemployment fell from 8.3 percent in October to 7.5 percent in November. The county had 14,010 employed, according to the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, nearly unchanged from a year earlier, and 1,130 unemployed, down from 1,290 in November 2011. The civilian labor force totaled 15,140, down from 15,740 a year earlier. The county had 138 initial claims and 853 continued claims for unemployment insurance in November, compared to 128 initial and 970 continued a year earlier. Among neighboring counties, Prentiss unemployment was at 7.8 percent, down from 8.5 percent in October; Tishomingo, 8.7 percent, down from 9.8 percent; and Tishomingo, 8.5 percent, down from 9.2 percent. Across the state, jobless rates ranged from 4.6 percent in Rankin County to 16.1 percent in Clay County. Results from Mississippi’s non-farm employment survey, which is counted by the location of establishments, reported a not seasonally adjusted employment increase of 5,000 over the month but a decrease of 1,000 from one year ago. The industry sectors registering the largest monthly employment gains were trade, transportation & utilities and professional & business services. For the U.S., regional and state unemployment rates were generally lower in November, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. Forty-five states and the District of Columbia recorded unemployment rate decreases and five states had no change. Forty-three states and the District of Columbia registered unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier; six states experienced increases; and one state had no change. The national jobless rate, 7.7 percent, edged down from October and was 1.0 percentage point lower than in November 2011.

Tobe Clausel has been tinkering with watches and clocks in downtown Corinth for more than 65 years.

90-year-old watchmaker still works six days a week BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

In a narrow workplace behind old white window blinds and a plain, signless glass door along Franklin Street in downtown Corinth, sits a man who has stood the test of time. For over 65 years, Roby Richard “Tobe” Clausel has been tinkering with watches and clocks. He practices the art of horology — repairing watches — six days a week. “Ole Tobe” is what the locals call him. Healthy, humble and

full of jokes and wisecracks, all he has lost in his 90 years is a set of good ears. Not bad for a lanky gentleman who survived the deadly waters of the Pacific during World War II onboard a warship and outlived nine siblings by 10 years and counting. “He is the last surviving member of what people refer to as the ‘Clausel Boys’,” said 41-year-old Richard Clausel, Tobe’s son. “They were known far and wide.” Eight of the Clausel kids

were boys, six of whom served their country during WW II. Tobe returned home to Wenasoga after the war and decided to become a watchmaker. He went to watchmaking school in Chicago and then transferred and graduated from school in Memphis. Brothers John and Leon also became watchmakers, while brother Jesse went to school for two extra years and became a jeweler and watchmaker. During the late Please see TIME | 2A

It’s not too late. Those who have yet to receive a flu shot still have time. Reports of flu across the state have been widespread, according to Mississippi State Health Department Director of Communications Liz Sharlot. “We are now in peak season for the flu,” said Sharlot. “Now is a good time to get one for folks who haven’t received a flu shot.” The communications director said shots can be obtained at any county health department. “The vaccine is proving to be a good match for the flu strains that are now circulating,” said Sharlot. The peak for the flu is from January to March in the state. “Flu is not a reportable disease, so there is no way to know exactly how many flu cases are out there,” said Sharlot. Mississippians are urged to take the flu seriously and get vaccinated now if they haven’t already done so by the MSDH. The seasonal flu vaccine is recommended for anyone age six months and older. Those particularly at risk for influenza complications include young children, adults 50 and older, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses. Symptoms of seasonal flu include fever, cough, and often, extreme fatigue. Sore throat, headache, muscle aches, and a runny or stuffy nose are also often present. More severe symptoms and death can also occur. “People should wash their hands frequently, cover their coughs and sneezes and stay home if they are ill,” added Sharlot. Seasonal flu vaccinations are available at all county health departments. Vaccinations for adults are $25. Those 18 and under can receive seasonal flu vaccinations for $10 through the Vaccines for Children program. High-dosage vaccinations for those 65 and older are available for $50. The pneumonia vaccine is also available for $72. Medicare and Medicaid recipients are asked to bring their cards with them to the clinic.

Snow scenes by Jesse

Friday, January 4, 2013

RESIGNS CONTINUED FROM 1A

A selection of photos of older Corinth homes highlighted by snow is on display during January at the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery at 507 Cruise Street. Corinth artist Jesse Ables took the photos during snowfall in three different years — primarily late season snows in early March. The homes include the Reynolds/ Tallent home on Jackson Street, Rubel home on Jackson Street, the Rousey/Williams home on Jackson Street, the Robert Williams home on Fillmore Street, the Garrett/Napier home on Fillmore Street, the Biggers home on 2nd Street and the Liddon/Frazier home on 4th Street. Ables, who is known for his paintings and has a studio on Foote Street, said he was just having some fun in the snow when he snapped the photos. An opening reception for January’s exhibits — artwork by Jeremiah Briggs and Ables’ snow scenes — is Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m.

“It was my hope to use the tourism tax revenue to help introduce the area to visitors from all over the world ... ”

Corinth 17 years ago as project manager at The Alliance. From there, she moved to the Crossroads Museum, where she served as executive director for 10 years. She moved to the tourism office in December 2007 when the director’s job was open. “It was my hope to use the tourism tax revenue to help introduce the area to visitors from all over the world while increasing the industry’s economic impact for our tourism partners and in our community,” wrote White. “We — the board and staff members — did just that by growing the tax revenue, by facilitating the popular Green Markets and Grand Illumination, and by earning state and regional respect for Corinth in the industry. I continue to love my job

and Corinth and Alcorn County.” She expressed thanks to those who have supported the tourism office and said she hopes to have a role in a different capacity to help Corinth and Alcorn County prosper. In the letter, White noted the advanced notice was “contingent upon being compensated at the higher rate of salary as approved in Executive Session of July 10, 2012 and with full benefits outlined in separation agreement.”

The balding, gray-haired watchmaker thought for a moment, then responded. “I haven’t thought about

it,” returned Tobe, his long fingers placing a glass cover on a wrist watch. “I guess I’ll quit some day.”

TIME pieces, Ole Tobe cursed under his breath and flipped a plastic interior part to the visitor. “Plastic,” he grumbled. “Made out of plastic. Ain’t nothing to fix. When they break, you just throw it away.” Tobe only accepts work through jewelry stores, hence no name on the door of his small shop and no phone to answer. The only offering to the general public is a wisecrack here and there, admitted his son. When asked how many watches he may have repaired over the years, Tobe grinned and said “heck fire! That would be a string of numbers stretched from here to St. Louis — maybe even Chicago.” As for his workplace longevity, “I’ve been lucky, I reckon,” explained Tobe. “Beats sitting at the house.” “We wouldn’t know what to do without him,” added Bryan Clausel, a jeweler and Tobe’s nephew. “He’s been a fixture of ours for years.

1940s and throughout the 1950s, the Clausel boys operated Clausel Jewelers and Sporting Goods beside Biggers Hardware in downtown Corinth. Brother Ernest was a gunsmith and operated on the second floor of the business. Tobe, Leon and John left the retail part of the operation in 1972, selling out to Jesse, but they all three continued watch repair work. Clausel’s continues to be a downtown fixture today, as Clausel’s Jewelers is operated by Jesse’s children, Bryan Clausel and Annette Bynum. Tobe, Leon and John continued their watch repair business through 1989 and all three were also full-time farmers. “That’s all Dad has ever known — making and repairing watches,” said Richard. Restoration work — especially old pocket watches — keeps Tobe busy, noted Richard. When asked if today’s watches were a match for old school time

They were so close.” Son Richard noted his father remains active outside the watch repair business. His doctors say he is healthy. He still mows and takes care of his yard. Staying active, “Keeps his mind sharp,” noted Richard. He is also blessed with a loving family, his wife of 41 years, Yvonne. Tobe also has two daughters, Sharon Brewer of Corinth and Janet Bradley of Cleveland, Tenn. and four grandkids. Two granddaughters, 16-year-old Abbie and 11-year-old Annie, attend school at Kossuth. “He spends a lot of time with Annie,” noted Richard. “That’s his little sidekick. They like to carry on with each other.” Tobe was busy this particular weekday morning

at the shop, repairing the day’s assignments. The visitor asked Tobe about any retirement plans.

Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi’s proposed health insurance exchange is in limbo because of a dispute between the governor and the insurance commissioner. Gov. Phil Bryant and Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney, both Republicans, disagree about which of them has authority to create a plan and submit it for federal approval. An exchange is an online marketplace where people can buy private health insurance. Under the health care law President Barack Obama signed in 2010, exchanges are to be set up and run by individual states or by the federal government. Chaney submitted an exchange proposal to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in mid-November. Bryant objects to the federal health law and has sent two letters to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius trying to block Chaney’s proposal. In a Nov. 26 letter, Bryant wrote that he believed the creation of a health exchange was a “gateway” for the 2010 law, the Affordable Care Act, to take hold in Mississippi. He said he would support a true state-run exchange not associated with the federal law. But, he wrote that under the federal law, “It is inevitable that such an exchange will be controlled by the federal government, not by the State. The federal government

Bo Rodgers

TISHOMINGO — Funeral services for James “Bo” Rodgers, 61, are set for 1 p.m. today at Palestine Community Church with burial in Palestine Cemetery. Mr. Rodgers died Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at his residence. He was a stone mason and carpenter. He was an Army Veteran of the Vietnam War and member of Palestine Community Church. Survivors include his wife, Anita Rodgers of Tishomingo; three children, Haley Rose of Arlington, Tenn., Matthew Rodgers of Iuka, and Mark Rodgers of Iuka; two sisters, Glenda Bumpas of Horn Lake and Margaret Collum of Michie, Tenn.; and a brother, Jimmy Dale Rodgers of Horn Lake. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Edna Rodgers; and a brother, Billy Rodgers. Bro. Danny Young will officiate. Visitation is noon to 1 p.m. today at the church. Cutshall Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

has never provided funds for a program without ultimately seizing control of it.” In a Dec. 28 letter, Bryant said only the governor — not the insurance commissioner — has the authority to act on behalf of the state. He asked Sebelius to block Chaney’s proposal. Bryant pointed out that in 2011, the insurance commissioner sought permission from the Legislature to create a health insurance exchange, but legislators didn’t pass a bill. After that, Chaney said he didn’t need legislative permission to create an exchange, and the Mississippi Insurance Department started working on a plan. Bryant wrote in his Dec. 28 letter that the Mississippi Constitution specifies that the chief executive power in the state belongs to the governor, and that the constitution does not mention the Insurance Department. The department was created by a law rather than by the constitution. “I have concluded that MID lacks authority under Mississippi’s Constitution and laws to create an exchange under ACA,” Bryant wrote. “Therefore, HHS should not certify an exchange based on MID’s application.” The federal government on Thursday approved insurance exchange proposals from 17 states and Washington, D.C. Four of those states have Republican governors. Gary Cohen, director of the federal Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight,

said the Department of Health and Human Services “is not approving or denying Mississippi’s application at this time.” The office that Cohen heads at the department is responsible for the rollout of the federal health care law. Federal officials are trying to better understand the question of legal authority in the Mississippi dispute, but they recognize that the final determination must be based on state law, he said. It was not immediately clear whether the dispute over state authority would end up in court. Chaney was in meetings Thursday and was not immediately available for comment. Chaney has said repeatedly that he doesn’t like the federal health law, but he believes Mississippi — not the federal government — should control the state exchange. “The whole goal here is to help the consumer in this state have more information and make an intelligent decision about what they are going to buy,” Chaney said Nov. 14, when he said he had completed the exchange proposal and was planning to submit it to Washington. Under the federal law, Americans who are uninsured can start shopping for coverage through exchanges on Oct. 1 and coverage begins Jan. 1, 2014. About 8 in 10 customers in the new marketplaces will be eligible for federal aid to help pay their premiums. Small businesses will have separate access to their own exchanges.

Agency honors employers who support National Guard & Reserve For the Daily Corinthian

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) is encouraging the nomination of Mississippi employers who have demonstrated exceptional support for members of the National Guard and Reserve. The Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), an agency within the Department of De-

fense, is accepting nominations from guardsmen, reservists or family members for the 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. “Mississippians serve with distinction in the National Guard and Reserves, and we are grateful for their readiness to serve overseas or at home in times of crisis,” Cochran said.

“The Freedom Award is a chance to show appreciation to the employers and businesses whose support makes National Guard and Reserve service possible. I believe there are numerous employers in Mississippi who are worthy of recognition, and I encourage their nomination for the 2013 Freedom Award,” he said. Up to 15 employers from

around the nation are selected annually to receive the Freedom Award, which is the highest award for civilian employers that support the Guard and Reserve. Recipients are honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. This year, the Crystal Springs United Methodist Church in Crystal Springs, received a 2012 Freedom Award. U.S. Army Na-

tional Guard Captain John Branning nominated the church based on its willingness to continue employing him during his active duty service, despite churches being exempt from the Uniformed Services and Reemployment Rights Act. Guardsmen, reservists or their family members may submit nominations through Jan. 21. Employers from small

or large firms (500 employees or more), as well as public sector employers, may be nominated. According to the ESGR, nominated employers must be the service member’s current employer. (For more information about the ESGR, the Freedom Award and the nomination process, visit: www.freedomaward. mil.)

Letter to the editor

Coach displays poor sportsmanship To the editor: Recently I attended the post-Christmas Peggy Bain Memorial Tournament at Alcorn Central High School. The inaugural affair was a very nice way to honor the late Mrs. Bain, who was a staunch supporter and an avid basketball fan. For the most part, things ran smoothly during the three days. The final game of the tournament, however, was quite different. Never have I seen such a poor display of sportsmanship shown by the Cordova, Tenn., coach. All in attendance, particularly the players who he is suppose to be setting an example for, had to witness his less-than-mature tirade. His actions almost set off a melee among opposing benches. The game officials tried to restore order but had a challenging time. If administrators of the school were present, I did not see any come to center court other than Mrs. Bain’s daughter, Coach Charlotte Foster. She did a phenomenal job diffusing what could have otherwise been a volatile situation. Once the game resumed, law enforcement arrived moments later. And to top it off, at the end of the game the coach showed utter disdain of a handshake initiated by Biggersville boys’ coach Cliff Little. It was just another thoughtless sentiment on his behalf. What transpired proves it takes only one to cast a dark cloud over something with noble intentions. I’m sure in the years to come the tournament will get bigger, better and less confrontational. And in the spirit of competition, that is exactly what Mrs. Bain would want. Dale Leonard Rienzi

Sound Off I wonder why a policy and procedure plan of action could not be adopted to deal with the kind of incident that occurred at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. I wouldn’t think it would be so difficult to train responsible, mature, educated staff members at a school in the proper and safe use of firearms. This does not necessarily mean someone would have to carry around a loaded weapon. Technology is available that can make it near impossible for an unauthorized individual to access or fire appropriate weapons kept in a secure place to deal with an emergency. The common knowledge such a program existed would probably be a deterrent for the psychotic misfits who might otherwise correctly assume the school was an easy target. Even predator animals are reluctant to attack a group of prey animals hell-bent on defending their young. I have no idea what the policies and procedures might be at most schools in the event of an attack by a lunatic, but it appears it is just “try to get everyone out of harms way and call 911.” A more proactive approach would seem to me to be a better policy. Adam Lanza shot his way into the school and proceeded to brutally murder six adult staff members and 20 children and then committed suicide. In spite of his mental illness Adam was not stupid and proved himself too much of a coward to attack people who had the means to fend off an attack. We will never know if any of those brave staff members could have gotten to a secure weapon and stopped the carnage before it even started. What we do know is they never had a chance.

Is tax refugee Depardieu unethical? French actor Gerard Depardieu has learned how to go from a beloved symbol of a nation to enemy of the state in one easy step. All it takes is wanting to keep some meaningful portion of his income. Depardieu is a quintessentially French figure. Appearing in more than 150 films, he has played Cyrano and Obelix. He is a Chevalier du Legion d’honneur. He eats and drinks -- a lot. He rides a scooter. It would take a diagram to follow his romantic entanglements with models and actresses. It’s all very French, except for the fact that he has earned too much money. At least he has according to the accounting of the Gradgrind socialists who govern France. Elected earlier this year, President Francois Hollande has imposed a 75 percent marginal income tax on top earners. To this prospect, Depardieu said, “Non, merci.” He announced his intention to move to a little village over the border in Belgium where the government imposes plenty of taxes but doesn’t aim to impose a punishing tax rate on the wealthy as a matter of justice. For his offense, De-

pardieu has been denounced from the c o m manding heights of Rich the French Lowery state. The prime minNational ister called Review him “pathetic.” The budget minister sniffed that his move would be a boom to Belgian cinema. Hollande urged “ethical behavior” on the part of French taxpayers. They all agree that it’s wrong of Depardieu not to stand still so that the government can drastically lighten his wallet. The “temporary supertax” applies to incomes of more than 1 million euros (roughly $1.3 million). It is said to be no big deal since it hits only about 1,500 people and is set to last for only two years. But it comes on top of an already- onerous tax burden and is shocking in its own right. American actor Will Smith had a common-sensical reaction when he was in France to promote a movie and asked by an interviewer if he would be willing to pay higher taxes. Of course, he

said. Then he was told of the top French rate. “Seventy-five?” he gulped. “Yeah, that’s different, that’s different. Yeah, 75. Well, you know, God bless America.” The tax is less fiscal policy than confiscatory policy motivated by unabashed disdain for the wealthy. Hollande is on the record saying, “I don’t like the rich.” One wonders what they have ever done to him. Hollande believes that the wealthy owe the state. He is like Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on steroids, in a political culture with a much higher tolerance for leftist class politics. For a perpetual creature of the state like the career-politician Hollande, the natural order of things is that he gets to live off the government and Depardieu gets to fund it. That’s the definition of “fairness.” Depardieu’s critics bash his patriotism. But why is it patriotic to accept financial chastisement by a government headed by someone who is avowedly driven by animus toward you as a member of a targeted class? It’s not as though Depardieu is a scofflaw. He claims that he has paid 145

million euros in taxes during the course of his career and paid an 85 percent rate in 2012. Maybe Hollande should go all the way in the tradition of his hero President Francois Mitterrand -the old school socialist who brought the French economy to its knees in the 1980s -- and nationalize Gerard Depardieu. The French constitutional court ruled against the supertax the other day on technical grounds. The government promises to make adjustments and forge ahead. It can shame Depardieu all it likes, but that won’t stop the flow of other, less-famous tax exiles. Hollande doesn’t like rich people, and he will duly rule a country with fewer of them. Gerard Depardieu wrote the prime minister to say he’s leaving “because you believe that success, creation, talent -- difference, in fact -- must be punished.” He’s right. May he -- dare we say it? -- prosper in his new home. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. He can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

The uselessness of a Republican House BY DICK MORRIS AND ELIEEN MCGANN The way the House rolled over and passed the Democratic/Liberal fiscal cliff “deal” was not the only disgusting sight in Washington, D.C. this New Year’s Day. Even worse was the craven way the Republican Congressmen embraced Democratic tactics by voting against the bill only when they were certain that it would pass despite their votes. Just like so-called “moderate” Democrats in the Senate, they waited to see if their votes were needed. Assured that they were not, they loudly and vocally criticized a bill they knew would pass and took turns posturing for the media. Thus, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Whip Kevin McCarthy staked out cheap ground to the right

of Speaker John Boehner by voting no. The speaker, meanwhile -- with more sincerity -- ratified his defeat at the bargaining table by voting for a “compromise” that was, in reality, a total surrender. If this was a compromise, so was the ceremony on the deck of the USS Missouri ending World War II! The “good” news is that this “victory” gives Obama more than enough rope with which to destroy himself. Its tax increases and mammoth additions to the deficit and debt will likely lead to recession and even higher unemployment. Obama is about to learn the validity of the wisdom he received -- and ignored -- from Bill Clinton that “I don’t think it’s a good idea to raise taxes on anybody during a recession.”

But let’s not permit those who voted against the deal to parade their ballots as evidence of their dedication to principle. Rather, look at the real moment of political principle and courage that arose before the vote to approve this awful deal. Before Speaker Boehner brought the bill up for a vote, he offered the Republican majority another alternative to surrender to Obama’s plan. He said that if the members would support him, he was willing to say no and to pass, instead, a bill with the tax increases but with real spending cuts added in. Some members were willing to take him up on the offer. Others were reluctant to join in, fearful of voting for tax increases in any form.

How convenient to be able to say no all the time. Once the tax increases were inevitable, the time had arrived to fight to add in spending cuts to the Senate passed bill. But too many Republicans were AWOL for the battle on spending to wage it with any prospect of winning. Instead Boehner caved and passed the Obama bill, relying largely on Democratic support to get it through. It was not a great day to celebrate being a Republican.

State Lawmakers face April deadline for state budget BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi budget writers have released their initial proposals for fiscal 2014 but are months away from deciding exactly how much the state will spend on education, health care and other services. The 2014 fiscal year begins July 1. There are significant differences between a plan drafted by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant and a separate one drafted by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, a 14-member group dominated by the GOP. At this point in the budget-writing process, it’s normal for the governor and legislators to have differences — and history shows neither side should expect to get everything it wants. Lawmakers face an early April deadline to put a final budget on Bryant’s desk. Bryant, who’s beginning his second year as governor, calls the legislators’ draft a “starting point.” “You could take, I believe, now the EBR, the executive budget recom-

mendation, and implement it and to be able to say this is exactly why we’ve determined that level of funding,” Bryant said. Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who serves on the Budget Committee, said legislative leaders have suggested a realistic spending plan. “If there were no changes to be made, the vast majority of agencies, if managed properly and appropriately, could deliver the same level of services that they’re currently delivering and would be fine,” Reeves said of the

proposal he helped write. Experts expect Mississippi to collect just over $5 billion in revenue during fiscal 2014. The governor and legislators generally expand the budget by dipping into reserves and using sources of money that are available only one year at a time, such as payments from lawsuit settlements. Bryant proposes spending about $5.8 billion of state money, slightly more than the nearly $5.7 billion the state is spending in the current year. Legislators propose spending

about $5.5 billion. One big difference? Lawmakers propose socking more away in financial reserves as a cushion for future hardship. “The budget, of course, is ... something we’re having to keep a careful eye on because the economy continues to lag and revenues are not what we would like them to be,” said House Speaker Philip Gunn, RClinton, who’s on the Budget Committee. “We have to stay within our means.” Both proposals would reduce the state’s reliance on money that’s available

only one year at a time, but legislators would do so more dramatically. Bryant’s budget calls for a $93 million reduction in the “one-time” funds, while legislators propose a drop of $413 million. Neither plan recommends increasing taxes or fees. And neither plan recommends pay raises for state employees. Bryant’s budget lists some education funding the legislative plan doesn’t have, including $15 million for literacy training for teachers. Bryant wants more emphasis on ensur-

ing children can read at grade-level standards by third grade. While Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said he believes most lawmakers agree that reading proficiency by third grade is important, House and Senate leaders at this point have not committed to the $15 million Bryant recommends. The governor wants to create a merit-pay program for teachers in four districts that have volunteered to be part of a pilot program. The legislative budget, for now, does not include a merit-pay element.

House re-elects Boehner BY DONNA CASSATA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The House and Senate ushered in a new Congress Thursday, re-electing embattled Republican John Boehner as speaker and hailing one of their own who returned a year after being felled by a stroke. The 113th Congress convened at 12 noon EST, the constitutionally mandated time, with pomp, pageantry and politics on both sides of the Capitol. Boehner, bruised after weeks of trying to cajole his fractious caucus to back a tax and spending cut bill, won a second, two-year term as leader with 220 votes. Despite grumbling in the GOP ranks, nine Republicans voted for someone other than Boehner, one voted present and several abstained. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi got 192 votes. In a chamber packed with members and their children, Pelosi delivered a generous introduction to her rival and handed the gavel to Boehner, who struggled to hold back tears. Boehner alluded to the continuing fight over government spending that was far from settled by the tax deal with President Barack Obama. Fierce battles loom in the coming weeks over automatic spending cuts and increasing the nation’s borrowing authority. “The American Dream is in peril so long as its

namesake is weighed down by this anchor of debt. Break its hold, and we begin to set our economy free. Jobs will come home. Confidence will come back,” Boehner said. Addressing the 80-plus new members, Boehner told them that if they came “to see your name in lights or to pass off political victory as accomplishment, you have come to the wrong place. “ “The door is behind you,” he said. “If you have come here humbled by the opportunity to serve; if you have come here to be the determined voice of the people; if you have come here to carry the standard of leadership demanded not just by our constituents but by the times, then you have come to the right place.” Rep. John Dingell, DMich., the longest serving member, administered the oath to Boehner, who then swore in the members. In the Senate, Vice President Joe Biden swore in 12 new members elected in November, lawmakers who won another term and South Carolina Republican Tim Scott, a former House member tapped by Gov. Nikki Haley to fill the remaining term of Sen. Jim DeMint, who resigned to head a Washington think tank. Applause from members and the gallery marked every oath-taking. Looking on was former Vice President Walter Mondale.

Shortly before the session, Sen. Mark Kirk, RIll., who had been absent for the past year while recovering from a stroke, slowly walked up the 45 steps to the Senate, with Biden nearby and the Senate leaders at the top of the stairs to greet him. “A courageous man,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Members of the Illinois congressional delegation and senators stood on the steps. As he entered the building, resting on a cane, Biden and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., helped Kirk take off his coat. The senator said he was glad to be back. While the dozens of eager freshmen are determined to change Washington, they face the harsh reality of another stretch of divided government. The traditions come against the backdrop of a mean season that closed out an angry election year. A deal to avert the “fiscal cliff” of big tax increases and spending cuts split the parties in New Year’s Day votes, and the House’s failure to vote on a Superstorm Sandy aid package before adjournment prompted GOP recriminations against the leadership. Any hope of comity in a divided Washington was quickly dashed amid talk of the budget. For all the change of the next Congress, the new bosses are the same as the old bosses.

School starts at new building for Sandy Hook children

at a high level for now and will be reevaluated each week.

MONROE, Conn. — For her son’s first day of school since last month’s massacre at his Sandy Hook Elementary, Sarah Caron tried to make Thursday as normal as possible. She made his favorite pancakes, and she walked the second-grader to the top of the driveway for the school bus. But it was harder than usual to say goodbye. “I hugged him a lot longer than normal, until he said, ‘Mommy, please,”’ she said. “And then he got on the bus, and he was OK.” Her 7-year-old son, William, was among more than 400 students who escaped a gunman’s rampage that killed 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook on Dec. 14. On Thursday, the returning students settled in at their old, familiar desks but in a different school in a different town. Returning students, teachers and administrators were met by a large police presence outside their new school in the neighboring town of Monroe, where a middle school that had been shuttered for nearly two years was overhauled and renamed after their old school. Several officers guarded the entrance and checked IDs of parents dropping off children. Monroe police Lt. Keith White said attendance was very good and the children were getting back to “business as usual.” “A lot of them were happy to see their friends they hadn’t seen in a while,” he said. William’s classroom had been across the hall from a first-grade room where children and teacher Victoria Soto died, and he had been nervous about going back to school, Caron said. But an open house Wednesday at the school eased some of his fears. “They didn’t talk about what happened at all,” she said. “They went in, met up with their teachers, had a little circle time and it was just about trying to get them back into school.” Most of the students arrived at the new school in Monroe by bus, something school officials had suggested to help them get back into a familiar routine. Nick Phelps, who lives a few blocks from the original Sandy Hook school, said his first-grader and third-grader are excited about the new school because it means a longer bus ride to Monroe, which is about 7 miles away. He was there when the bus brought them home Thursday afternoon. “I was never so excited to see my children and, certainly, to see my children get off the bus. There was a shared joy,” he said. About 80 parents attended an assembly Thursday with school and police officials, who fielded questions about security and activities planned for their children. White said security will remain

Martian rock from Sahara desert quite different from others LOS ANGELES — Scientists are abuzz about a coal-colored rock from Mars that landed in the Sahara desert: A yearlong analysis revealed it’s quite different from other Martian meteorites. Not only is it older than most, it also contains more water, tests showed. The baseball-size meteorite, estimated to be 2 billion years old, is strikingly similar to the volcanic rocks examined on the Martian surface by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which found water-bearing minerals. “Here we have a piece of Mars that I can hold in my hands. That’s really exciting,” said Carl Agee, director of the Institute of Meteoritics and curator at the University of New Mexico who led the study published online Thursday in the journal Science. Most space rocks that fall to Earth as meteorites come from the asteroid belt, but a number can be traced to the moon and Mars. Scientists believe an asteroid or some other large object struck Mars, dislodging rocks and sending them into space. Occasionally, some plummet through Earth’s atmosphere. Short of sending a spacecraft or astronaut to the red planet to haul back rocks, Martian meteorites are the next best thing for scientists seeking to better understand how Earth’s neighbor transformed from a tropical environment to a frigid desert. About 65 Martian rocks have been recovered on Earth, mostly in Antarctica or the Sahara. The oldest dates back 4.5 billion years to a time when Mars was warmer and wetter. About half a dozen Martian meteorites are 1.3 billion years old and the rest are 600 million years or younger. The latest meteorite NWA 7034 — nicknamed “Black Beauty”— was donated to the University of New Mexico by an American who bought it from a Moroccan meteorite dealer last year. Researchers performed a battery of tests on the meteorite and based on its chemical signature confirmed that it was blasted to Earth from Mars. At 2.1 billion years old, it’s the second-oldest known Martian meteorite that formed from a volcanic eruption.

New tax law packed with breaks, credits for businesses WASHINGTON — Tucked into the “fiscal cliff” tax package approved by Congress are billions of dollars in tax breaks that should make the new year a lot happier for businesses of many stripes, including film producers, race track owners and the makers of electric motorcycles. In all, more than 50 temporary tax

breaks were renewed through 2013, saving businesses and individuals about $76 billion. Congress routinely renews the tax package, attracting intense lobbying — and campaign donations — from businesses and trade groups that say the tax breaks help them prosper and create jobs. Businesses have grown used to many of the longstanding tax breaks, but they also have had to get used to the uncertainty of whether they will be renewed each year. This time around, as lawmakers struggled to reach consensus on a wide range of tax issues, the tax breaks were allowed to expire at the end of 2011. The package passed by Congress this week and signed by President Barack Obama renews the tax breaks retroactively, so taxpayers can claim them on both their 2012 and 2013 tax returns. The biggest of the bunch, a tax credit for research and development, helps U.S. manufacturers compete against foreign competition, according to the National Association of Manufacturers. Another provision helps restaurants and retailers expand by allowing them to more quickly write off the costs, according to the National Restaurant Association. These provisions have widespread support in Congress; others are more obscure. For example, there is a tax credit for producing electricity from wind mills, a tax credit for buying electric-powered motorcycles, and tax rebates to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands from a tax on rum imported into the United States. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said the package is filled with “special-interest handouts” that make it difficult for him to justify his vote in favor of it. “It’s hard to think of anything that could feed the cynicism of the American people more than larding up must-pass emergency legislation with giveaways to special interests and campaign contributors,” McCain said. Lawmakers are wary of making the tax breaks permanent because of the cost, even though they inevitably renew almost all of them each year. Annual angst over whether the tax breaks will be renewed also provides incentives for businesses to lobby key lawmakers. “All these provisions have a lobbying arm behind them, for the most part,” said Mark Luscombe, principal tax analyst for CCH, a consulting firm based in Riverwoods, Ill. “If they only extend them for a year or two then the lobbyists have to keep coming back and bestowing their favors on congressmen to get the thing extended again. If they made it permanent, then the lobbyists would go away.” Among the provisions in the new law are: ■ A tax credit for research and development, benefiting a wide range of industries, including manufacturers,

pharmaceutical companies and high tech companies. Cost: $14.3 billion. ■ An exemption that allows banks, insurance companies and other financial firms to shield foreign profits from being taxed by the U.S. The tax break is important to major multinational banks and financial firms. Cost: $11.2 billion. ■ A tax break that allows profitable companies to write off large capital expenditures immediately — rather than over time — giving some companies huge tax shelters. The tax break, known as bonus depreciation, benefits automakers, utilities and heavy equipment makers. Cost: $5 billion.

British government extradites al-Qaida suspect to US WASHINGTON — Police in Britain have extradited a terror suspect to the United States to face charges that he took part in an alleged al-Qaida plot to detonate explosives aboard the New York City subway system. British authorities handed over Abid Naseer, 26, to U.S. authorities on Thursday. Prosecutors want Naseer to stand trial in New York for his alleged role in a terror campaign that would have also struck targets in Britain and Norway. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have said they aim to prove that Naseer collected bomb ingredients, conducted reconnaissance and was in frequent contact with other al-Qaida operatives as part of a foiled New York plot and a second suspected plot to bomb a busy shopping area in the northern English city of Manchester. If convicted in the U.S., Naseer would face a maximum penalty of life in prison. At the Justice Department, spokesman Dean Boyd declined to comment. Naseer was one of 12 people arrested in a counterterrorism operation in April 2009, but all were subsequently released without charge. They were ordered to leave Britain, but Naseer escaped deportation to Pakistan after a judge ruled it was likely he would be mistreated if he were sent home. Naseer was re-arrested in July 2010 at the request of the prosecutors in Brooklyn, where a federal indictment named him as a co-defendant with Adis Medunjanin. In January 2011, a British judge approved Naseer’s extradition. The judge acknowledged there was a “very real risk” Naseer would be tortured if the U.S. ultimately returned him to Pakistan but said he believed the U.S. justice system would not ignore that concern. Naseer’s lawyer had argued that the U.S. would have fewer inhibitions about returning him to Pakistan. U.S. authorities allege Medunjanin and former high school friends Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay — all three attended Flushing High School in Queens — traveled to Pakistan in 2008 to seek terror training from alQaida.

Economists anticipate that the national unemployment rate didn't budge last month. The Labor Department is expected to report today that the unemployment rate for December was 7.7 percent, a four-year low and unchanged from November. While the job market has improved, the unemployment rate fell sharply from October to November primarily because more people without jobs gave up looking for work. Will Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data show the same trend?

Santa Claus came to town, but he was a bit tardy. The 11th-hour negotiations to prevent the nation from going over the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? on Jan. 1 weighed on the stock market in late December and delayed his arrival. Historically the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index rises over the course of the last five trading days of the year and the first two in January. This period is watched closely for a potential â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Clausâ&#x20AC;? rally. If the market rises, it has generally been a positive indicator for the year ahead.

Santa arrives: A â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? compromise on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day ignites a stock market rally.

Hope of reaching a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? compromise fades.

Thursday was the final trading day of the rally period and the S&P 500 index rose a total of 2 percent. Since 1968, the index has posted an average gain of 1.6 percent during the seven-day period. The last time there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a Santa Claus rally was the 2007 holiday season when the S&P 500 declined 2.5 percent. The Great Recession began that December. To be sure, there are no guarantees. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? compromise averted immediate concerns about a possible recession, but other fiscal squabbles are expected in the coming months.

Fashionably late: The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Clausâ&#x20AC;? rally didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin until the new year, when the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index shot up 2.5 percent on Jan. 2. after lawmakers averted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliff.â&#x20AC;?

Eye on hiring

Business have held back on investment plans in recent weeks amid worries over the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliff.â&#x20AC;? Their concern: that lawmakers would fail to reach a compromise to avert a slate of tax increases and federal spending cuts from taking effect on Jan. 1, and the U.S. economy would head into another recession. How much did the fiscal cliff worries stymie business spending last month? Find out today when the Commerce Department issues December data on orders to U.S. factories.

Investors will be closely watching job figures for last month, which are due out today. The number of jobs added by U.S. employers increased in October and November, and economists have forecast another increase for December. Some of the recent gains may reflect retailers temporarily adding staff for the holidays. A pickup in hiring is needed to lower the unemployment rate.

Bowl victory vindicates Cardinals Associated Press

Louisville’s success this season shocked everybody except the No. 22 Cardinals. That won’t be the case next year, not after Louisville upset No. 4 Florida in the Sugar Bowl Wednesday night. Expectations will be high heading into next season. That’s fine with the Cardinals, whose 33-23 victory over the heavily favored Gators brought a huge measure of vindication in a season in which they struggled for respect. After starting 9-0 but remaining outside the Bowl Championship Series title discussion, Louisville earned its second BCS bowl berth. The landmark win against the Gators raises the bar higher for the Cardinals (11-2). Louisville returns 10 starters on offense and defense. The Cardinals could begin next fall as a top-10 team with coach Charlie Strong returning along with star quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who figures to be a Heisman Trophy candidate. Strong and the Cardinals are savoring the moment but they’re also thinking about how to build on it. “We know we still have a long ways to go,” said Strong, who last month spurned an offer to be Tennessee’s head coach to remain at Louisville. “You look at the teams that we beat this season. We played well, but we had to play well like that all season. “We were not a consistent team this season. We struggled, had to come from behind seven games. ... I don’t want to say where we would be, but we could continue to get better.” Fans greeted the Cardinals at their Please see CARDS | 9A

Warriors roll into 7th straight title game BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The middle quarters set the stage for the Corinth Warriors. The six-time defending Alcorn County Tournament champions outscored Kossuth 42-13 over the second and third frames in cruising to a 74-38 win in the third and final game Thursday at Crossroads Arena. Corinth (12-4) advanced to the title game for a seventh straight year. Saturday’s game against the winner of tonight’s Alcorn Central-Biggersville contest will mark the Warriors 48th appearance in the championship game since 1950. The Warriors were 9-of14 from the field and 3-of-4 from distance in the first eight

minutes. Behind eight points from Raheem Sorrell and six each from Desmin Harris and Jazz Garner, Corinth built as much as an 11-point lead in the opening quarter. Justin Mills kept Kossuth (7-8) in the game early with seven quick points. Four straight by Brandon Grayson in the final minute cut the deficit to 24-15. Corinth started the second with five fresh bodies and opened up an 18-point lead, holding Kossuth scoreless the first five minutes. Darius Gaines tallied six points and five other Warriors scored as Corinth took a 42-22 lead at the break. The Warrior starters returned for the third and Corinth built a 66-28 cush-

ion by the horn. Corinth was 10-of-16 from the floor in the third and moved the ball at will as evidenced by eight assists on 10 buckets. Eleven of Corinth 13 players scored, with Sorrell’s 17 leading all scorers. Five other players tallied eight or more, including Hack Smith with a career-high eight -- six coming on three straight buckets in the fourth. Mills tallied 12 against his former team, pacing an Aggie club that was without the services of Justin Whitaker. Grayson added nine and Weston Bobo got eight. Corinth finished 31-of-66 overall -- 6-of-12 from deep -- and were 6-of-6 at the line. The Warriors held a 38-24 advantage on the boards and

committed just 14 turnovers in 32 minutes. Kossuth was 15-of-42 overall and 1-of-9 from three-point range. The Aggies finished with eight more turnovers (23) than field goals.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Spencer Nealy and some of his Texas A&M teammates were discussing potential bowl games even before their first SEC season began. “We were like, how funny would it be if we made the Cotton Bowl,” Nealy said. “We were looking at SEC vs. Big 12 teams. That’s what we thought about, that situation.” Well, Texas A&M’s season of firsts — coach Kevin Sumlin’s first year, quarterback Johnny Manziel becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy and the SEC debut — will end with the 10th-ranked Aggies (10-2) playing a familiar Big 12 foe.

In the only bowl matching the SEC against the Big 12, Texas A&M takes on 12thranked Oklahoma (10-2) in the Cotton Bowl on Friday night. Both teams have fivegame winning streaks. “It’s a little more than a game,” Nealy said. “It’s almost like we had a great season but we have to win this one.” In their 16 Big 12 seasons, the only time the Aggies won more than nine games was when they were 11-3 their 1998 conference title season. They left the league with a winning record (7-6) last season only after a bowl win over Northwestern. Once in the SEC, which has six national titles in a row,

Texas A&M lost its opener 20-17 to Florida. The other loss was 24-19 to LSU before the current winning streak that includes the Aggies’ firstever road win against a No. 1 team — at SEC champion Alabama, which plays in the BCS title game Monday night. “The first thing we did was we didn’t talk about it very much what happened in the past. It seemed to be what everyone wanted to talk about externally, but internally we just didn’t,” Sumlin said. “Any time you have to get over a hump or clear a hurdle, you have got to win a game in a certain fashion.” Sumlin pointed to a 30-27 win at Ole Miss the first Saturday in October, when the

Aggies overcame six turnovers and were down 10 points with 6 1/2 minutes left. They lost to LSU two weeks later, but haven’t lost since. The Sooners seemed certain of a Bowl Championship Series game after clinching a share of their eighth Big 12 title, even though Kansas State had a tiebreaker giving the Wildcats the league’s automatic BCS slot. But Mid-American champion Northern Illinois then qualified as a BCS buster. “For sure, yes, we were disappointed. I was pretty upset about it,” Sooners senior quarterback Landry Jones said. “But fortunate enough for us, we got put into this game, which you can rank them right up with those BCS games.

team complex on their return home Thursday from New Orleans. Athletic department spokesman Kenny Klein said no formal celebration was planned for the team. Still, the outlook is good reason Louisville to party. The Cardinals improved to 2-0 in BCS games with the Sugar Bowl win. They led Florida from start to finish, something Louisville hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done since Sept. 15 when they beat North Carolina 39-34 in the Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third game of the season. Louisvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength of schedule was a constant issue for the Cardinals, who managed to put answer the questions about whether they were legitimate or not with their bowl performance. The next step is seeing how their 41 freshmen, 31 sophomores and 28 juniors mature next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a team that can handle adversity,â&#x20AC;? Strong said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through a lot. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to grow, and once you grow from adversity, it just makes you stronger. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this football team has done. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown so much.â&#x20AC;? Defensively, Louisville must replace cornerback Adrian Bushell and linebacker Daniel Brown. The offense loses left tackle Alex Kupper, center Mario Benavides and wide receiver Andrell Smith. Louisvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground game could be deep again with second-leading rusher Senorise Perry (705 yards, 11 touchdowns) expected back after tearing his right ACL on Nov. 10. The junior will rejoin a backfield including redshirt freshman Corvin Lamb and juniors Dominique Brown and Jeremy Wright, who rushed for 84 yards and a TD in the bowl win. However, Sugar Bowl MVP Bridgewater will command most of the attention, especially after his performance on center stage in the nationally televised game against a Southeastern Conference opponent. Bridgewater is the main reason the Cardinals will likely enter next season with the respect they craved this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been saying it all year: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best quarterbacks and best player in the nation,â&#x20AC;? Cardinals safety Calvin Pryor said of Bridgewater.

Nick Saban, Chip Kelly lead teams out of the darkness Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There were some dark days at Notre Dame and Alabama, dark years really, during which two of college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proudest programs flailed and foundered. Notre Dame won the national championship in 1988, then spent much of the next two decades running through coaches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four if you count the guy who never coached a game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and drifting between mediocre and pretty good. Alabama won the national championship in 1992, then spent the next 15 years running through coaches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four if you count the guy who never coached a game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and drifting between mediocre and pretty good. As the 21st century dawned, the Fighting Irish and the Crimson Tide were old news, stodgy remnants of a glorious past, not moving fast enough to keep up with the times, and searching for someone to lead them back to the top. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It parallels Notre Dame to a tee,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Finebaum, who has covered Alabama as a newspaper reporter and radio show host for more than 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The attitude was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Alabama. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do what others are doing. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll win because of our tradition.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Finally everyone passed Alabama.â&#x20AC;? And Notre Dame. Then along came Nick Saban and Brian Kelly to knock off the rust, fine tune the engines and turn the Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish into the sharpest machines in college football again. No. 1 Notre Dame and

No. 2 Alabama meet Monday night in Miami in a BCS championship between two titans not all that far removed from tough times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pendulum swings,â&#x20AC;? said former Alabama coach Gene Stallings, the last Tide coach before Saban to bring home a national title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay good forever. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay bad forever.â&#x20AC;? Of course, Alabama and

Notre Dame fans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real comfortable with the first part of that statement. The Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish were perennial national championship contenders for decades. For Alabama, replacing Bear proved difficult. Paul Bryant won six national championships in 25 years as the coach in Tuscaloosa, and when he stepped down

the Crimson Tide felt compelled to bring back one of his boys to replace him. Ray Perkins was hired away from the New York Giants, and spent four years at Alabama before going back to the NFL. Alabama tried going outside the family and hired Bill Curry. He lasted three years, before leaving for Kentucky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You follow somebody

like Coach Bryant, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extremely difficult situation,â&#x20AC;? Stallings said. Stallings played for Bryant at Texas A&M, coached under him at Alabama and even sounded a bit like the Bear with his baritone drawl. He found success and relative peace in seven seasons as coach of the Tide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told Coach Bryant stories. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in competi-

tion with Coach Bryant,â&#x20AC;? Stallings said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons I was, quote, accepted by the Alabama people.â&#x20AC;? After Stalling left in 1996, things started to get ugly at Alabama. School leaders tried again to keep their most highly prized job in the family, hiring Mike DuBose, a former defensive lineman for Bryant.

Three of these “Spaghetti” films made Clint Eastwood a Hollywood star after his days playing Rowdy Yates on the television series “Rawhide.” Eastwood moved from Yates to “The Man with No Name.” “Django Unchained” begins in 1858, two years before the Civil War. Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) is a bounty hunter. He is looking for a slave

by the name of Django to help him find three brothers worth a large bounty. Schultz is an intelligent gunfighter and academic. A dentist while he was in Germany, Schultz decided to ply his trade in the bounty hunting business on America soil. Schultz’ rule is to bring wanted individuals back expired. Django knows what the brothers look like, so Schultz acquires the slave in an unusual way and they make a deal. Schultz teaches Django, a quick study, how to use a gun. The training will remind the audience of the movie “Nevada Smith” when Jonas Cord (Brian Keith) teaches Nevada Smith (Steve McQueen) how to shoot accurately. Then Nevada Smith goes after the people who killed his parents. Django wants to find

his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington). She was sold to another plantation owner after being punished for running away. I really enjoyed the first part of “Django” where Schultz and Django track the outlaws. The second half of the movie is about finding Broomhilda and is full of adventure, intensity and excitement. Schultz does not believe in slavery and frees Django. The two remain friends and Shultz agrees to help Django find Broomhilda. Schultz has a large tooth which swings back and forth on top of his wagon as he rides the rough roads of the Old West. The tooth has a significant use as the movie progresses. Schultz finds the person who purchased Broomhilda. It is Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio),

who is a cruel individual. He owns slaves for operational use on his plantation and for bare knuckle fighting. A large portion of his land is looked after by Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson). His plantation is called “Candyland.” Tarantino has written an excellent script and created a brilliant story of a sad time in our history. “Django Unchained” has several very gruesome scenes portraying some of the horrors that took place during this era in our history. I enjoyed the setup during the first part of the film and the climax at the end. The first part of the movie had to be a part of the story in order to prepare for the climax, which really becomes bloody. An interesting portion of “Django Unchained” involves Schultz communi-

cating with Broomhilda at the Candie plantation. In order to keep others from understanding what is being said, the two speak German, a language she learned from a GermanAmerican family. I tip my hat to Tarantino for writing, directing, acting, and creating this sad and interesting story set in a historical time period of terror and drama.

MSU project saves state money, effort BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications

MISSISSIPPI STATE — An advanced database training project conducted by the Mississippi State University Extension Service is saving the state millions of dollars, improving skills and making jobs easier. The Geospatial Education and Outreach Project began working with local and state government agencies across Mississippi in June 2006. By November 2012, more than 2,600 people from more than 60 counties learned the concepts behind the mapping software in about 260 workshops. The GEO Project software combines geographic information with other features in an area, such as data on utilities, property lines and roads. Jim Davis of Olive Branch, an engineering technician with the Mississippi Department

of Transportation, took part in a recent class. He learned different ways to map department data including parcel information, sign inventory, and road and drainage areas. “Learning how to use the new software makes my job easier,” he said. “I can use data from multiple sources, reference that data to its geospatial location and use that data alongside my local data. This enriches the information we are able to provide to the department. I have also gained great contacts from networking at the GEO Project courses.” Scott Samson, professor with the Extension Service and the Geosystems Research Institute at MSU, developed the GEO Project. Having instate training saves Mississippi about $5.5 million compared to the cost if workshop participants had to go out of state to take the same training.

Samson said the rescue and recovery efforts associated with Hurricane Katrina introduced Mississippi to the widespread use of geographic information systems, or GIS. “In response to that disaster and in an attempt to modernize record management in municipal and county government agencies, Mississippi was able to secure funds to train government employees on GIS technologies and assist them with the implementation of GIS in the workplace,” he said. The project provides technical support to government agencies to help in making the transition to the office. Applicants to attend workshops include local tax assessors, emergency management workers and people involved in agriculture. (For more information about the GEO Project, contact Samson at ssamson@gri.msstate.edu.)

Are you a person of integrity? Do your friends and acquaintances say that you are honest, a person of principle, honor, virtue, and goodness. What a great way to be described by your peers. If people and coworkers say this about you Gary then you Andrews must be a person of Devotionals high moral values and conviction. God freely gives to men and women the courage to have integrity. He has given all people the right to choose and those that choose Him choose to believe that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God. In today’s society we see so many people selling their souls to the highest bidder. Money, and one’s standing in the community, has gotten some people away from the Christian influence that they could become a detriment to the race of mankind. Many of the world’s population, especially some of our government officials, have sold themselves out to be important in the eyes of man instead of being steadfast and true to the one true God.

WWII chaplain joins fight for today’s soldiers BY PHILIP GREY The Leaf-Chronicle

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Sixty-eight Christmas Eves ago, during a season dedicated to Peace On Earth and Good Will Towards Men, a young Army chaplain was confronting the horrors of war at the Battle of the Bulge. For John David Laida, best known in Clarksville for his 28 years of service to First Baptist Church, the memories of serving during those dark days of World War II remain mostly unspoken, even to close family. He chooses instead to focus on the present and future, and on a message he has never ceased to carry forth to the world since the day it changed his life at the age of 17 - that there is a hope beyond the world and its wars and strife, with the power to heal the worst injuries to body, mind and soul. At 93, Laida is at an age when most people have long left off of taking on new challenges, but the noted pastor and Army veteran feels he has another fight left in him. He doesn’t look anywhere near his age and the voice still conveys power and conviction after more than 70 years of preaching. Since “retiring” from his duties at First Baptist Church 25 years ago, he has continued to preach every Sunday while serving as interim pastor for other churches in need, working full-time hours in part-time jobs. And on Jan. 11 of the coming year, he will join with today’s chaplains and local pastors at Fort Campbell’s Liberty Chapel as they seek to find a way to cope with the ravages of war afflicting a new generation of soldiers and military families. Laida was washing dishes, working his way through Gordon College, a Christian institution near Boston, Mass., when he heard President Roosevelt speaking about the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. At the time, he was also serving as a student pastor at a country church in

Bellingham, Mass., with a small congregation of about 30 people, about 20 miles from Boston. He wanted to serve as a chaplain, and the Army counted his three years of service as a pastor together with his educational experience to help him qualify. In 1942, when Laida signed up for duty the day after his 23rd birthday, he was the youngest chaplain in the Army. Laida did his basic training and chaplain school at Fort Devins, where his training as a chaplain amounted primarily to a few simple guidelines. “They told us we want you to do exactly what you did in your church,” he recalled. “Help people. Minister to them spiritually. I was a Baptist minister, but I was never a “Big B” Baptist as a chaplain because I had to serve everybody. That’s what they said. Be a pastor to all of them. You can’t differentiate. You can’t focus on denomination.” Laida laughed at the memory of 40 chaplains learning drill and ceremony, basic soldier skills and Army terminology, including the stuff that wasn’t in the manual. “Thanks to our drill sergeant, we learned every curse word there was,” he remembered, “and it didn’t make any difference to him. “He knew we were all chaplains and he did respect that, but when he got excited or mad, he let it out. A typical drill sergeant. We got used to it.” Other things he experienced later were harder to get used to. “I knew war was bad,” he said, “but I had no idea what my reaction was going to be. Even though I was a chaplain, I was a human being and I saw a lot of guys who went on, I hope, to heaven. “The thing that hurt me more than anything were those 18-year-olds that they pushed over there into Europe. They gave them about four weeks of training and they were not prepared for battle. I saw them die.”

Friday, January 4, 2013

The first real action for Laida and his fellow soldiers of the 30th Infantry Division came during the worst period of the war on Europe’s western front, in December 1944. The Third Reich had staked everything on one massive counterattack against the American Army, a large part of which had penetrated deep into France and Belgium on its way toward the German border, forming a bulge that left it vulnerable to being cut off from the sides by German armored formations. Laida’s division was rushed in on Dec. 17 to block part of the German assault and took the full brunt of the attack’s fury in doing so. He and his fellow soldiers went in knowing little about what they were going to be called upon to do or what the situation was. “Nobody knew what was going on,” Laida said. “We didn’t have a newspaper or TV. We didn’t know as much as people in the U.S.” He hints darkly about his experiences of that time, but still can’t bring himself to discuss details beyond memories of holding the hands of dying boys and praying with them at the battalion aid station where many spent their last moments. Laida said that while his own faith never wavered, he was confronted by things that made him have to think more deeply about the questions that war forces upon human beings. “I had soldiers who searched me out because they had seen things and it really got them thinking about life and death. “There was a lot of, ‘Chaplain, how can God allow something like this?’ That was pretty hard to overcome, especially if someone didn’t have a basic faith to begin with, but it was a pretty valid question to ask.” Toward the end of the war, Laida was severely wounded and evacuated back to the U.S. He spent three months

recovering. A plainspoken man, who at his age doesn’t believe in sugar-coating events, he admits to having been psychologically affected by the war and having been close to the edge of an abyss of self-pity as a result of what he had endured. His turning point came following his recovery when he was assigned as a chaplain at the hospital. “When I became a chaplain again,” he said, “it was my responsibility to help the guys in the paraplegic ward. They had two men there who were quadruple amputees and when I saw those guys, I thought to myself, ‘Why am I feeling sorry for myself?’” Laida feels that a big part of the problem for many who return from war is that they withdraw within themselves. As a man of faith, he also feels that without a belief in something greater than themselves, many who turn within find little to sustain them through the hard journey back. “The reason I was able to overcome that,” he said, “is because I saw that there were people in the world who needed me more than I needed to think about myself. If some of these guys today could put self aside and try to help someone else, it would make a difference. “Jesus spent all of his life helping other people, as an example that we ought to emulate as his followers - to be of service to others.” It is a message that some might consider overly simplistic, but one that Laida feels is key to helping many who are wounded by war, particularly those who are wounded psychologically, morally and spiritually. However, he is going to the Jan. 11 meeting of chaplains and pastors at Fort Campbell with an open mind, being more interested, he says, in learning what he can do to help the soldiers he still feels a responsibility for, 70 years after donning the uniform.

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday — Psalm 1:1-6; Monday — Job 31:5-6; Tuesday — Matthew 23:12; Wednesday — 1 Peter 5:5-9; Thursday — James 4:4-12; Friday — Proverbs 12:17-19; Saturday — Psalm 112:5-7 If someone says that you have moral soundness then they expect to find in you the common honesty and integrity of a person of business. If someone says you are complete then they are saying that your integrity is an undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanting. According to the dictionary integrity means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. The state of being unimpaired. The quality or condition of being whole or undivided. In the books of Psalms and Proverbs the Bible is very explicit in how we should act and carry on our duties as a laborer. If we adhere to what God tells us then we will have that character of integrity and our families and children will be blessed for it. In Proverbs 20:7 it says, “the righteous man walks

in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.” Only you can develop the integrity that God wants you to have. It comes by simple faith in Him that He will provide for us what we need, when we need it. Stepping on people around us to climb the ladder of success not only hurts the people around us but it hurts our standing among our peers. When we use less than ethical methods and purposes for promoting ourselves then we are weakening our Christian witness to those around us. Be strong and be of good faith and keep your integrity in tact. God loves you and wants you to love everyone else as He loves you. Prayer: Lord thank you for teaching me the difference between right and wrong. Give me the strength to stand up against temptation and to honor you in all that I do. Amen.

MSU floral design expert pens textbook BY KERI COLLINS LEWIS MSU Ag Communications

MISSISSIPPI STATE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Plants can increase a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s productivity, and a Mississippi State University floral design expert is smiling about his new textbook on using plants in interior spaces. Jim DelPrince, a professor in MSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, spent five years developing a textbook on â&#x20AC;&#x153;interiorscapingâ&#x20AC;? -- using green and flowering plants and trees in indoor commercial and residential spaces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The textbook, Interior Plantscaping: Principles and Practices, is written from the standpoints of plant science, business and plants as a design element within the interior,â&#x20AC;? DelPrince said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, our method of teaching interior plantscaping focused on the production of plants in the greenhouse, with propagation, plant physiology, watering, fertilizing and light levels being the only topics. Today, we have a very different focus: on the client who ultimately purchases and uses these plants, and on related services that can be offered.â&#x20AC;? DelPrince said students interested in an interiorscaping career need to understand plant science and solid design principles. This textbook was written with them in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are plant science and horticulture programs at all of the land-grant universities, at other universities, at twoyear institutions and even in high school agriculture programs, and this book integrates the learning areas of business, science and design in such a way that they all can use it,â&#x20AC;? he said. DelPrince used his research skills and personal connections within the industry to bring practical information and inspirational success stories into the textbook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I included a chapter about value-added opportunities for floral and plant businesses -- holiday decorations, gifts for employee birthdays and retirements.â&#x20AC;? An interiorscaping job doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a onetime installation and

maintenance phase following up with watering, fertilizing and insect inspection. It can be the beginning of an important business relationship,â&#x20AC;? he said. Unlike other books on the topic, DelPrince included chapters on permanent botanical plants and preserved plant materials, otherwise known as silk and dried flowers and plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who put together and design permanent shrubs and trees are floral artists themselves,â&#x20AC;? DelPrince said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re replicating nature. But those permanent installations will still need care.â&#x20AC;? Juliet Steiner, a product development manager for Cengage Learning, said she was excited to introduce this new book to the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim was truly passionate about the project and dedicated to putting together a text that that was engaging as well as informative,â&#x20AC;? Steiner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love that Jim wanted to involve his horticulture students in the project. Their contributions can be seen in many of the Green Tip boxes all throughout the text.â&#x20AC;? Steiner said this new textbook is a blend of art and science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interior Plantscaping is an exciting and unique new text because it blends the science of horticulture with the aesthetics of interior design while also providing practical information about running a successful business,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is filled with beautiful color photos of plants and plant installations, and also has a valuable appendix listing all of the included interior plants with key features and photos.â&#x20AC;? By formalizing his course notes and developing them into a textbook, DelPrince got to see something he had always dreamed of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to be able to open a textbook and see Mississippi State University on the title page,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our floral management program is known all over the country, and administrators from several universities have come to our campus to visit our department.â&#x20AC;?

Table no place to change baby DEAR ABBY: My wife and I run a restaurant in a small town. Recently, my wife came home on my day off and told me that during the lunch hour, one of our servers had come into the kitchen and announced that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need extra sanitizer on table 29 because a mother was changing her baby on it! What has happened in our society that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that this is unsanitary and rude? Had I been there, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that I could have kept a civil tongue, and I feel like people today regard my disgust as unreasonable. Is there something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m missing here? -- CAFE CRAZY DEAR â&#x20AC;&#x153;CRAZYâ&#x20AC;?: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who you have been talking to, but your disgust is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;unreasonable.â&#x20AC;? What that mother was missing was common sense and courtesy for those around her. I agree that changing a baby on a restaurant table was out of the ballpark -- particularly if a changing table was available in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restroom of your cafe. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

assuming there is one, cluded a divorce. Abby, we love each but if there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, the situation should be immedi- other. We want to be together forever and have ately rectified.) DEAR ABBY: My hus- children. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be dating my band, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gene,â&#x20AC;? and ex-husband inI were married definitely. Do for five years unyou have advice til our divorce six for us? -- GOING months ago. We NOWHERE IN still live together WASHINGTON and are dating DEAR GOING each other. We Abigail I had so many is- Van Buren NOWHERE: sure do. In the sues, I felt there interest of solidineeded to be a Dear Abby fying your fresh fresh start, instart, you and cluding filing for Gene should sign up for divorce and living apart. Now that we have some premarital counstarted over, moved seling. If you do, you may away from our home- be able to help him untown and gotten rid of derstand why you felt the several â&#x20AC;&#x153;friends,â&#x20AC;? our is- way you did. With counsues are gone and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seling, you can sure that financially stable. In fact, your problems are fully our relationship is better resolved, and it may reassure him that this time than ever. Since things are now there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be another worked out, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like us to divorce. If you are thinkget remarried. I told him ing about a religious cerbefore our divorce that I emony, the officiant may hoped we could resolve even require it. DEAR ABBY: My sisthings and marry again. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure, be- ter and mother went to a cause he says if we got di- movie recently. My sister vorced again, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t became concerned that bear the hurt. He says he her husband and kids still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand were locked out of the why our â&#x20AC;&#x153;fresh startâ&#x20AC;? in- house, so she quickly took

out her phone and texted her husband. It took less than 30 seconds. A minute later a large man came down the stairs of the theater, got right in her face and began berating her -- telling her she was rude for pulling out her phone. It was so upsetting that she and Mom got up and left. I understand that she should have stepped out of the theater to text. However, the man caused more of a scene than her texting did. What makes people think it is OK to treat people badly? -HOLLY IN KOKOMO DEAR HOLLY: The same thing that made your sister think it was OK to use her cellphone in a darkened theater. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky that all she got was a lecture because these days many people have short fuses. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the response you were looking for. It means somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little off. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be inspired to look at your own motivation. Does it hold up? Is it who you really want to be? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even though your body seems to be taking practical action, your mind is off on a quixotic adventure. Remarkably, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting so much done in spite of this disconnect. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be careful whom you confide in, especially about your recent victory. Some people are so interested in their own fears and preoccupations that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a hard time relating to your success story. CANCER (June 22July 22). You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t presume to tell another person what he or she should go after in life, and by the same token, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to listen to anyone who thinks they know better what

you should do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People are always telling you to slow down, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that you have to move at your current speed in order to get it all done. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go to bed thinking about what you might cut from the schedule. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Love has a way of catapulting people out of their usual personality and into a new attitude. You could experience this change to some degree today as your fondness for someone grows. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). With the moon in your sign, you have an even stronger sense of balance than usual. Pleasure, contentment and connection are more important to your daily life right now than any other goal. Make yourself happy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). One hipster T-shirt suggested, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a good example, be a warning.â&#x20AC;? Today, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to choose. Your bad behavior has unexpect-

edly positive results, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fit into both categories at once. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re genuinely excited to see your loved ones, you show your enthusiasm as they walk into the room. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something wrong. You and yours deserve to be properly acknowledged. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Neither time nor money is available to you in infinite quantities, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do clever things with the resourc-

es you have. Bonus: This will impress someone who will be helpful to you at a future date. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Daily living is not an exact science. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do your best. Some will say you prioritized unfairly or illogically. How would they know? Let enthusiasm and curiosity be your guides. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge difference between being around and being present. The eye contact, physical affection

Wife shouldn’t let husband deal with his rude, obnoxious sister Dear Annie: My sister-inlaw, “Nina,” is my husband’s only sibling. She is divorced with grown children. Nina appears to be sweet to most people, but she can get pretty ugly, especially when she drinks. She has ruined more than one occasion with her offensive outbursts, often directed at members of my family. She says these horrid things in front of my children, which makes them uncomfortable. Nina frequently pops in at our home, so I make polite chitchat and then proceed to go about what I was doing and let her visit with my husband. I don’t want to prevent him from having a relationship with his sister. Apparently, this is the wrong approach, because Nina now tells my husband she “has no idea what she ever did to me” and doesn’t understand why I “hate” her. He sticks up for me, but it puts him in

Ask Annie a tough spot. I should also mention that in the past three months, my sister died, my children left for college, and I had to move my mother into a senior center and sell her house. I do not hate my sister-in-law, but clearly, I have other priorities at this time. I realize I cannot control her behavior, only my own. So, any advice for me? — Trying To Fly Under the Radar. Dear Trying: We don’t believe there is a “right” approach to Nina. She is simply looking for reasons to respond negatively to you. Let your husband deal with his sister. Be as polite and pleasant as you can manage, but otherwise, ignore her. You should not have to jump

Dear Annie: This is in re- Blondie sponse to “Curled,” whose ex-husband barely sees his older kids now that he’s remarried and has a baby. I would highly recommend that the writer and any couples with similar issues look at family mediation programs. Many are lowcost or free. The presence of an unbiased mediator gives parents the chance to explain Garfield their perspectives while ensuring that the conversation is productive, centered on the needs of the children, and directed toward visitation and custody solutions. In addition, mediation can also allow parents an opportunity to understand how their behavior may be affecting the children. She can call B.C. her local family court to learn more. — Las Vegas.
