Alcorn County Electric Power Association will soon celebrate the career and life of a beloved employee.

Local restaurateurs are moving into 2012 with fresh memories and expensive lessons from the year-end salmonella outbreak that sickened scores of Corinthians. Don Julio Mexican Restaurant is the business most closely associated with the recent outbreak, with a total of 59 Don Julio customers and employees testing positive for the food-borne illness. Now the restaurant is seeing an upswing in business, said a manager, while its staff and management step up their efforts to provide a safe dining experience for Don Julio’s patrons. “They recently did another inspection,” said Refugio Mendoza, Don Julio co-owner and manager. “We were careful before — but now we’re extremely careful.” Mendoza said business at Don Julio is improving every day, and customers are feeling more confident with every visit. For other local restaurants, the outbreak brought questions from worried customers and an increased awareness of food safety. “We stayed really busy around the holidays,” said Marcia Wigginton, owner of Mike’s Cafe on Harper Road. While Mike’s didn’t hurt for hungry customers, its staff had to field hundreds of questions from worried customers. “People came in here asking if we’d been checked out or if we’d found any bad produce. Dealing with some of the talk was hard,” Wigginton said. There was also talk among

“It put everybody on their toes to find out where it came from. It was terrible. None of us wanted to have it in our restaurants. We all scrubbed more and looked deep into the coolers.” Marcia Wigginton Owner, Mike’s Cafe local restaurant owners about how to protect their customers and businesses from the bacteria, she said. “It put everybody on their toes to find out where it came from,” Wigginton recalled. “It was terrible. None of us wanted to have it in our restaurants. We all scrubbed more and looked deep into the coolers.” At one local eatery, the salmonella scare prompted no decrease in business, but an increase in compassion for the people whose health — and livelihoods — were hurt by the ordeal. “We weren’t affected at all and couldn’t tell any difference,” said White Trolley manager Jeremiah Dees. “My heart goes out to the people who were. I feel for them. It could’ve happened to anybody.” Looking at the big picture, the economic impact of the 2011 salmonella outbreak Please see OUTBREAK | 2A

MHP reports fatality, Boys & Girls Club honors young man increased DUI arrests BY STEVE BEAVERS

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Mississippi Highway Patrol reported one traffic fatality in the northeast district during the holiday weekend period and an increase in the number of DUI arrests and traffic citations issued across the state. Statewide, three fatalities occurred on the highways during the New Year’s holiday period, rising from one last year. The local district’s fatality occurred about 4:20 a.m. Friday on Mississippi Highway 2 in Tippah County near the Chapman community. Jacob R. Bryant, 21, of Ripley, died in the single-vehicle rollover crash. MHP said it appeared he lost control of the 2003 Chevrolet Blazer he was driving and was ejected from the vehicle. Bryant was not wearing a

seat belt. An unbuckled passenger was treated for nonlife threatening injuries. The other fatalities occurred in the Gulfport and Batesville regions. Statewide, MHP made 156 DUI arrests, up from 108 last year, and issued 3,501 traffic citations, up from 2,802 last year. MHP investigated 104 crashes in the holiday period, which ran from Friday through Monday. The local troop’s public affairs officer, Ray Hall, noted the year ended with an increase of more than 50 percent in the number of fatalities in the northeast district during 2011 compared to 2010. The district had 36 fatalities during the year, and

A horse is a horse — unless the horse is Joey BY TERRY BURNS Movie Critic

“War Horse,” PG-13, *****plus, Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, David Thewilis, Peter Mullian, Niels Arestrup, Tom Hiddleston; Touchstone film; Director Steven Spielberg; length — 146 minutes

“W

ar Horse” brought back emotional memories for me when I rode horses with my dad and friends. I learned to love horses and their dedication to their owners. We had some wonderful times on the trail. The film is about a thoroughbred horse that is basically drafted into the armed services during World War I. At the beginning of the film, the

audience observes Albert Narracott (Jeremy Irvine) watching a colt run the pastures of a neighbor until the young colt is old enough to be sold. At an auction, Albert’s father buys the horse for his son and Albert has found a friend to train and ride the countryside of Devon. He names the horse Joey. Albert lives on a farm in Devon, in an English county with his father Ted (Peter Mullian) and his mother Rose (Emily Watson). Ted has some dark secrets he keeps to himself, because they involve the time he spent fighting a war. Most people who were involved in horrible situations during war do not like to talk about their experiences. When the Narracotts’ landlord, Lyons (David Thewilis), hounds Ted for the rent on his place,

Joey has to be taught to plow the fields in order to earn enough money to pay the landlord. Then when World War I begins, Ted has to sell the horse to the army. This is the point the story plunges into the drama of war. From that moment until the final credits, it becomes a heartbreaking account of a boy and his horse trying to get back together. The audience must face the horrors and devastation of war, and watch soldiers ride horses into battle to fight for their country. Joey is a faithful horse to his owner during the war and he even finds another horse as a friend along with crossing the paths of many people, but he misses Albert. Albert joins the army in an attempt to find his

faithful companion and bring him back home. This decision demonstrates how much Albert cares about Joey. Several stories collide as the viewer watches the awfulness of war explode. Innocent people who are not involved in the war are hurt because of the fighting taking place around them. All of the stories interconnect in one way or the other showing how war affects everyone whether they are directly fighting or just innocent bystanders. The famous words of Alfred Lord Tennyson, “I am a part of all whom I have met,” come to mind when describing the many stories that happen to Joey and how Joey touches so many lives. One story involves two brothers. One was too young to fight, but

he enlisted anyway. His brother promised his father he would look after him. Another story involves a grandfather and his granddaughter. Joey is a part of all the stories. Metaphorically, directly or accidentally, Joey will touch the hearts of all who see this excellent film. In “War Horse,” we observe stories from German soldiers as well as English soldiers, showing the devastation of war from both sides. I have always loved the scene of the cowboy riding into the sunset, and the artwork of Lon Megargee, “The Last Drop,” showing a cowboy giving his horse the last drop from his canteen by pouring it into his hat and allowing the horse to drink it. The cowboy is taking care of a dedicated

friend. The final scene of “War Horse” shows someone riding a horse as the sun sets and the sky is red — “Red sky at night, cowboy’s delight.” It is a beautiful scene with a lot of meaning. I highly recommend this movie for the whole family. Just remember it is PG-13 because of the war scenes. Terry Burns is technology coordinator for the McNairy County School System. A life-long movie buff, he can be contacted by email at burns984@bellsouth.net. Terry’s movie grading scale: five-plus stars — as good as it gets; five stars — don’t miss; four stars — excellent; three stars — good; two stars — fair; one star — poor; no stars — don’t bother.

TRAFFIC: ‘It’s senseless to see over half of your fatal crashes involve unbuckled drivers,’ officer says CONTINUED FROM 1A

52 percent of those were not wearing seat belts. “It’s senseless to see over half of your fatal

crashes involve unbuckled drivers,” said Hall. “It’s proven seat belts save lives. Our focus this year will be to drive down the fatality rate in this dis-

trict by strictly enforcing the seat belt laws.” The recent graduation of a cadet class will add more troopers to the highways.

“This will give us more visibility and more manpower and will hopefully help decrease our fatal crashes,” said Hall. MHP offers safety

classes focusing on the dangers of drinking and driving, distracted driving and not wearing a seat belt. Available to high

She’s basically known as the mother of ACE.” Doty’s dedication and loyalty to her job as executive secretary of ACE brought her through a career serving for three general managers and 21 board members. She is also dedicated to helping her fellow human beings away from work, Nanney explained. “Her special calling in life is to help people. She’s always going to nursing homes and hospitals trying to help people. She’s a special, special lady. Her way of life is to help other people.

That’s the kind of person she is,” Nanney said. On Sept. 14, the power company’s board of directors made a resolution to name the ACE board room the “Gail Doty Board Room” in honor of her 50-plus years of service and the example of dedicated work exemplified by Doty. “With class, dignity and unwavering love for ACE, Gail Doty has devoted her career of 50 years to making sure that the Management and Board of ACE have always been prepared to handle their du-

ties of service to the members,” the resolution said. The upcoming reception at ACE Power is expected to draw people from around the region whose lives have been touched in one way or another by this extraordinary and dedicated employee. “Gail is known all over the TVA area because of the job she’s done dealing with them over these many years,” Nanney said. “She’s friends with so many people — folks from far and wide will be at the reception.”

In other business, the new tax collector, Larry Ross, addressed the board to request a budget increase in order to keep his predecessor, Greg Younger, working in the office for a few more months to assist in the transition. He said the office will need a budget increase of $13,720. The board tabled the request until the next meeting to give the new supervisors time to review the budget. Ross said he’s planning to keep the same employees in the collector’s office. “It already runs real smooth and there’s just a few things that I’m going to change,” he said. Because of the MLK holiday, the next meeting date is Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 9 a.m. The board will continue to have regular meeting dates of the first and third Monday of each month at 9 a.m. at the Alcorn Chancery Building.

Obama appeals to Iowa Dems on caucus night Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Inserting his voice into a big night for Republicans, President Barack Obama was appealing to Iowa Democrats during the first balloting in the GOP presidential campaign, seeking to counter months of withering criticism in the state that launched his presidential ambitions four years ago. Obama was hosting a live video teleconference for Democrats attending precinct caucuses across Iowa, outlining his progress dur-

ing the first term and asking for their help in the upcoming campaign. Beyond the lead-off caucuses, Iowa is expected to be hotly contested in the fall election. The president’s re-election campaign emailed supporters a video of Obama’s Iowa victory speech in January 2008, arguing he has kept the promises he made that night: making health care more affordable, cutting taxes for the middle class, ending the war in Iraq and reducing the nation’s dependence on foreign oil.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama would thank supporters for their help and discuss his efforts to keep the promises he made in Iowa four years ago. But Carney said the president “has a lot of work to do before he engages aggressively in the general election. That will come in due time.” Obama was wasting little time getting back in front of voters following a Hawaiian vacation spent largely out of the spotlight. Campaign officials said Obama was expected to take ques-

tions from voters during the Iowa session, which was airing only for those who attended the caucus meetings. On Wednesday, Obama will travel to Cleveland for an event focused on the economy. Obama was seeking to counter months of pounding by Republicans in Iowa and by the Republican National Committee, which has assailed Obama’s economic record and tagged him as a president who has failed to live up to lofty expectations.

his grandfather and now legal guardian, Terry Alexander, helped solidify his life. “His life has taken him on a journey in which he has learned from and came away with the peace, wisdom and respect for the beauty of life,” said Grice. “Terrel now realizes that he is at a place in his life where the weight of his decisions will reflect

the outcome of his life.” Should Payton win at the state level, he would move on to compete for the title of Region Youth of the Year and an additional $10,000 scholarship. Five regional winners will advance to Washington, D.C. for the national award and up to $50,000 in scholarship money. “The mission of the Boys & Girls Club is to en-

able all young people to realize their full potential as responsible and caring citizens,” added Grice. “The Corinth Boys & Girls Club has helped Terrel build self-esteem and confidence in having knowledge of where to start to make a better life for himself ... the Club gave him the inspiration to believe in himself again and get his life back on track.”

A call for sweeping change in new year BY HENRY ROSS America was born in revolution. A revolutionary spirit stirred our young nation to throw off tyranny and win its freedom, risking everything in the process. Revolutionary ideas led the patriots, who humbled the world’s greatest power, to later limit the power of their own new government. From the Founders’ relentless pursuit of freedom, a profound truth emerged: The American Revolution will never end while liberty prevails. For many years, liberty did prevail. Congress largely abided by its constitutional constraints. The Bill of Rights was honored. Governance of everyday economic affairs was left to the states. Federal courts interpreted the Constitution instead of rewriting it. Yet, in our time, liberty’s revolution has faltered. Its spirit scarcely exists among those sent to Washington today. Under their charge, regardless of party, government has exploded. Liberty is under siege. An out-of-control federal judiciary adds to the misery. Constitutional restraint is long forgotten. Something is terribly amiss. Are we willing to rekindle the revolutionary spirit of our forefathers and return to freedom’s path? First, we must lay bare the problem. America changed when politicians’ desire for Washington power and prestige finally replaced old-fashioned notions of limited government and political sacrifice. The way to stay there is simple -- spend money, borrow to the hilt. Convince everybody it’s for their good. Once the line was crossed, and with seeming impunity, Congress created endless federal programs and bureaucracies to hand out trillions of dollars. Bigger government brought greater influence. Dispensing money and influence wins elections and lengthens congressional careers. But it also threatens our future. We’re drowning in debt run-up by Congress. The current total is $15 trillion. Add another $2.1 trillion by early 2013 from their debt ceiling deal. Spending cuts? They’re slowdowns in future spending growth. Congress will still spend $46 trillion over the next 10 years, and add at least $8.5 trillion to the nation’s tab. Further credit downgrades, higher interest costs and inflation are ahead. Soon, the dollar will be displaced as the world’s reserve currency. We’ll no longer be able to print money to buy foreign oil and import other goods. Suddenly, we’ll be poorer. All because of Washington’s spending spree. Our social fabric is unraveling, largely due to Great Society benefit changes Congress made to welfare programs. Subsidization of childbearing outside of marriage has caused the virtual disappearance of marriage among recipients. Illegitimate birth rates have sky-rocketed. Without fathers in the home, generations of youth have dropped-out of school, succumbing to drugs, gangs and crime. Millions more have joined the system. To top it off, Supreme Court liberals, without authority, have rewritten the Constitution, banning school prayer, creating abortion rights whole cloth, banishing religion from the public square and giving Congress say over every aspect of American life. Next up, invention of a constitutional right to homosexual marriage. Simply having Republicans in control won’t return America to limited government. Government expanded, the debt doubled and the Supreme Court remained unchallenged the last time Republicans ran Washington. We need true revolutionaries to change Washington: Statesmen willing to do whatever it takes — losing elections if necessary — to rein in government. They last appeared in the 1990s, shutting down the government to curtail spending. Four years of federal surpluses followed. The economy soared. A revolutionary remnant battles on in Congress. While most Representatives fell into line, dozens of House Republicans opposed the leadership’s timid spending and debt compromises in 2011, including the debt ceiling increase. These compromises failed to significantly attack deficit spending or roll back government — jobs these conservatives were sent to do. Bogus political claims that Social Security and the military wouldn’t be paid in event of a shutdown didn’t deter them. Constitutional government can be restored, but America must send more revolutionaries to the fight in 2012. Fearlessness and tenacity are required. Federal spending can be frozen, then substantially reduced, federal regulations gutted, departments and agencies dismantled, and entitlements reformed. Constitutionally indifferent Supreme Court Justices can be impeached and traditional marriage preserved. Taxes on income, capital and inheritance can be lowered or eliminated. Economic growth will erupt and jobs will return. Personal freedom will flourish. The Revolution waits. 2012 is our chance. Liberty or tyranny? Which path will we choose?

Thatcher versus her nation’s decline Margaret Thatcher on the cover of Newsweek, or — the next best thing — Meryl Streep on the cover as the former British prime minister in a new biopic. Thatcher is a rich theme. If the types who expound on such things didn’t so hate her politics, she’d launch a thousand dissertations on those inexhaustible academic themes of class and gender. As the daughter of a grocer, she was looked down upon as the personification of, in the words of one highfalutin critic, “the worst of the lower-middleclass.” As a woman in a man’s world, she was venomously attacked by her opponents as a “b----” or “the bag.” At this moment in our history, though, it is Thatcher’s central purpose that is most important: Her unyielding rejection of British decline. She rejected it with every bone in her middle-class body even though sophisticates scoffed at such a naive nationalism. She rejected it even though the grandees of her own party said it was inevitable. She rejected it even though she knew reversing it meant forcing a wrenching political and economic crisis.

The acrid whiff of decline is in the air in America, in the enduringly weak Rich employment picture, in Lowery the spiralNational ing debt, in Review the persistent pessimism about our prospects and in the intellectual preparation for a “postAmerican world.” Part of the volatility in the Republican presidential field is the unfulfilled hunger for a Thatcher-like figure. She had the urgency of an emergency-room surgeon, the rhetorical subtlety of a blowtorch, and the conviction of a desert monk. Tory MP John Biffen called her “a tigress surrounded by hamsters.” But she matched her fearlessness to sound judgment and a positively Prussian work ethic. Needless to say, Thatchers aren’t often on offer. The country she wanted to save was by the late 1970s an embarrassing wreck. After World War II, Britain’s leaders had grounded the ship of state on the shoals of socialism. The country was broke and beset by maliciously pow-

erful unions. Humiliatingly, it had to go to the International Monetary Fund for a loan. Henry Kissinger told President Gerald Ford in 1975, “Britain is a tragedy — it has sunk to begging, borrowing, stealing.” Claire Berlinski, author of the book-length study of Thatcher titled “There Is No Alternative,” quotes Michael Howard, a subsequent leader of the Tory party, “The air of defeatism which was the prevailing climate of the time was the economic and social equivalent of Munich.” It took considerable moral courage for Thatcher to insist that practically everyone else was wrong — including the accommodationists in her party — and that Britain could take an entirely different path. She ran on a party manifesto in 1979 that excoriated declinism. “She had been elected to reverse Britain’s decline,” writes John O’Sullivan, the former Thatcher aide and author of the “The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister,” “not to explain it smoothly away like virtually every other political leader.” It wasn’t enough to rage against Britain’s fate without correctly diagnosing the source of its sick-

ness. As Berlinski notes, she made an unsparing and comprehensive case against socialism. “In the end,” Thatcher thundered, “the real case against socialism is not its economic inefficiency, though on all sides there is evidence of that. Much more fundamental is its basic immorality.” Bold but never reckless, as prime minister Thatcher undertook a comprehensive free-market program to tame inflation, restrain spending, cut taxes, privatize industries, bring unions to heel and deregulate the financial industry. At one point, her approval rating dipped to 23 percent, but her vindication was a sustained return to dynamism and growth. Her victory in the Falklands War represented a turning point in national pride. She was Ronald Reagan’s partner in defeating the Soviets. By the end of her career, she had accomplished what Britain’s consensus had once deemed impossible. In today’s America, the circumstances are very different, and the basic challenge is profoundly the same. Thatcher’s lesson is that decline is inevitable only if its self-fulfilling prophets prevail.

Hockey game helps resolve to be tougher COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — What it was, was hockey. I had never been to a hockey game in my entire life. Not that I haven’t had the opportunity. For a few years, Alabama’s Birmingham had a professional hockey team, the Birmingham Bulls, which petered away to obsolescence in what may be the pigskin capital of the world. Game called for lack of interest. The Birmingham Bulls made just a little more sense to me than the Ice Gators of Lafayette, La. When I spent part of each year in Henderson, near Lafayette, I could have gone to see a hockey game. The Ice Gators just sounded too oxymoronic, I guess, or else I was too busy swatting mosquitoes to hie to an ice rink for entertainment. But I’m resolving to be broader-minded and tougher in 2012, so I agreed to go to a hockey game. Turns out, there’s

a lot of peripheral ritual that I enjoyed. There I was at a German restauRheta rant fueling up on poJohnson tatoes and Columnist bratwurst to have stamina just to watch. Friends at Colorado College here are big hockey fans, and at their suggestion we all met to eat and listen to a few rounds of “Beer Barrel Polka” played by grown men in Pinocchio outfits. Something about the hearty food and jovial scene got me in the mood. Colorado College is a great hockey school. Colorado College is to collegiate hockey what LSU is to football and Mississippi to Miss Americas. Here hockey makes sense. Ponds freeze, and kids play hockey the way Southern children skinnydip. Out here, you might say it’s indigenous sport.

I expected hockey to be exciting, and it was. I expected it to be rough and tumble, possibly violent. I’ve read the usual descriptions that explain the fights. I had, in fact, just finished a long New York Times article called “Blood on the Ice” about the Canadian NHL player who died for his sport. What I didn’t expect was the beauty. The beauty blindsided me. The referees, especially, were performing ballet on ice. Unencumbered by all the crustacean-looking equipment the players must wear, referees glide about like Dorothy Hamill wearing stripes. Before the game, I had gone to the computer and looked up “Basic Ice Hockey Positions.” The only one that made sense to me was the goalie, “perhaps the toughest position in all of sports,” the tutorial said. Maybe so, but it seemed much tougher to me to get the puck down the ice and anywhere near the goal

than to keep it out. Plus, the goalie wasn’t exhausted by skating. He mostly stood there at the ready. And the night I watched, Colorado College’s goalie didn’t do much about keeping the Anchorage, Alaska, team’s puck from piercing the net. Alaska won. I loved the music. It was extremely loud and raucous, and I kept thinking about the time a newspaper sent me to a Memphis “gentleman’s club” to see if pole dancers were obeying a city ordinance about how many feet they must stay from the customers. That kind of music. There were no fights. The crowd had a few cheers I can’t repeat in a family newspaper, but you hear that kind of thing at football games, too. As one fan said in a hockey chat room, “If you can’t take it, go watch badminton.” (To find out more about Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www. rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com.)

State House, Senate convene 2012 session BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers convened their 2012 session Tuesday with a history-making Republican majority, as the House elected Philip Gunn of Clinton as its new presiding officer. Republicans already controlled the 52-member Senate, and they took control of the 122-member House in the Nov. 8 elections. This is the first time since Reconstruction that the GOP has held the majority in both chambers of the Mississippi Legislature, and Gunn is the first Republican House speaker since then.

Republicans decided weeks ago that Gunn was their choice for speaker, and Democrats did not nominate a candidate Tuesday. Gunn, a 48-year-old attorney, was elected speaker without opposition and received a standing ovation from members of both parties. He pledged to seek unity in House. “I will do my best to serve you with honesty, fairness and dignity,” Gunn said. Gunn called for unity and said the House has been divided for too long by opinion, age, race, region and party. He said he also has been guilty of engaging in some types of division, and he apologized for it.

“Let us work together to make Mississippi better than it has ever been before,” Gunn said. Republican Tate Reeves of Flowood will be inaugurated Thursday as lieutenant governor, the Senate’s presiding officer. Republican Phil Bryant, who will be inaugurated as governor Jan. 10, is in his final days as lieutenant governor and presided over the Senate on Tuesday. Both legislative chambers on Tuesday unanimously elected their second-highest officers. Republican Terry Brown of Columbus was chosen Senate president pro tempore, and Republican Greg Snowden of Meridian was chosen House

speaker pro tempore. “We’ve got a lot of situations — I don’t call them problems. But we’ve got a lot of situations to address. In about a week from now, we’ve got to get to work,” Brown said. Snowden reminded House members that the campaign season is over. “Put it behind you,” he said. “Let it go.” Republicans hold a 3121 majority in the Senate and a 64-58 majority in the House. Reeves could announce Senate committee assignments by this Friday, his staff has said. Gunn told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he hopes to announce House committee assignments and chairmanships by Jan.

13. House members are filling out questionnaires on where they’d like to serve. Committee chairmen in the Mississippi Legislature generally have power over which bills live or die. Rep. Robert Johnson, D-Natchez, said the committee assignments will be the first real indication of how power will be distributed. “So far, everything has been sort of a get-along love fest,” Johnson said Tuesday. “But we’ve got big, serious issues to deal with this session — education, economic development, health care.” Legislators are scheduled to meet four months, as is customary

during the first year of a four-year term. Sessions the next three years will be 90 days each. The House has 32 new members and the Senate has 15 new ones. Democrat Billy McCoy of Rienzi, who has been House speaker the past two terms, did not seek re-election to the Legislature in 2011, nor did Democrat J.P. Compretta of Bay St. Louis, who was House speaker pro tem under McCoy. Republican Billy Hewes of Gulfport, who was Senate speaker pro tem last term, is no longer in the Legislature. Hewes ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in 2011, losing to Reeves in the GOP primary.

Lawmakers kicking off 4-month 2012 session BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi Legislature has convened the 2012 session in Jackson with Republicans controlling both chambers for the first time since Reconstruction. Both houses were addressing housekeeping matters early Tuesday. Both chambers were packed with lawmakers and their relatives. It was standing-room-only in the House where Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann presided until a speaker is officially elected. Philip Gunn of Clinton is on track to be elected speaker of the 122-member House, and fellow Re-

publican Greg Snowden of Meridian is expected to be chosen to the chamber’s second-highest leadership post as speaker pro tempore. Hosemann welcomed House members to the Capitol, saying that while everyone had different ideas about what was good for Mississippi, “your differences should never be personal.” Republican Phil Bryant of Brandon was presiding over the Senate in his final days as lieutenant governor. He’ll be succeeded Thursday by Republican Tate Reeves of Flowood. Reeves is backing the GOP’s Terry Brown of Columbus as Senate president pro tempore. Bryant will be sworn in as governor on Jan. 10.

Legislators are scheduled to meet four months, as is customary during the first year of a fouryear term. Sessions the next three years will be 90 days each. The House has 32 new members and the 52-member Senate has 15 new people. The GOP holds a 21-11

majority among House freshmen and a 13-2 majority among Senate freshmen. That large incoming class, combined with the switch of Sen. Gray Tollison of Oxford to the GOP from the Democratic Party, gives Republicans a 31-21 margin in the Senate. That’s enough to pass tax and revenue

bills without any Democrats. Among the big issues that Bryant, Reeves and lawmakers have identified for the coming year are: ■ Crafting a state budget challenged by tight revenues. ■ Broadening the state’s charter school law.

■ Examining new state restrictions on illegal immigrants. ■ Considering changes to the state’s public employee pension system. ■ Drawing new districts for lawmakers. ■ Restricting Attorney General Jim Hood’s ability to hand out lucrative legal work.

Idaho spud truck rolls on side Associated Press

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — A spud-hauling truck has rolled onto its side in Idaho, dropping its cargo like a hot potato. The Idaho State Police says the truck driven by 23-year-old Newman Giles of Rigby crashed

Tuesday in Idaho Falls, spilling the potatoes across two Interstate 15 exit ramps. It was hauling a 48-foot farm-bed trailer with the spuds at the time. A spokesman at Eagle Farms says the potatoes were being brought to a

plant when the trailer’s tires caught the edge of the road, causing the truck to tip on its side in slow motion. The state police say Giles and a passenger were wearing seat belts and were not injured.

Factories, builders boost economy at end of year BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. manufacturers ended 2011 with their best month of growth since the late spring. And the struggling construction industry spent more on projects for the third time in four months. The data bolstered hopes that the economy is gaining momentum and helped Wall Street start 2012 with a bang. Factories hired more workers in December, saw the most growth in new orders since April and ramped up production. U.S. builders spent more in November on single-family homes, apartments and remodeling projects. The strong reports correspond with other positive signs for the economy. Consumer confidence is up, unemployment benefit applications have tumbled and the unemployment rate is at a three-and-ahalf-year low. Economists caution that Europe’s debt crisis will likely slow global growth in the first half of the year. But on Tuesday, the outlook was mostly positive. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said its manufacturing index rose to 53.9 from 52.7 in November. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. The Commerce Department said spending on construction projects rose 1.2 percent in November. The increase was the largest since a 2.2 percent rise in August. “The trend for the U.S. economy is most decid-

edly to the upside,” said Dan Greenhaus, an analyst at brokerage firm BTIG LLC in New York. The Dow Jones industrial average rose by 215 points in midday trading. Broader indexes also climbed. Reports that manufacturing grew in China and India, two of the world’s largest economies, also drove markets higher. U.S manufacturing has expanded for more than two years. Factories were one of the first areas of the economy to start growing after the recession officially ended in June 2009. They faltered over the summer after Japan’s March 11 earthquake disrupted auto and electronics supply chains. The December ISM survey showed many factories have largely recovered from their slump earlier this year Exports rose despite the trouble in Europe. Growth in new orders means output will likely increase in the coming months. And U.S. factories hired last month at the fastest pace since June, an optimistic sign ahead of Friday’s important measure of job growth in December. “All in all, an upbeat report,” said Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Capital, who noted that the stronger manufacturing activity should contribute to faster economic growth in the October-December quarter. Construction spending rose 1.2 percent in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $807.1 billion. While that’s barely half the $1.5 trillion that economists consider healthy, home construction has begun a gradual rebound and

likely added to the nation’s economic growth in 2011. Spending jumped 9.5 percent on home improvement projects in November. It rose 1.5 percent on single-family home construction and gained 1.3 percent on apartment building. “While spending on single-family construction still remains extremely depressed, it has now increased for six straight months and looks consistent with other indicators signaling some improvement in the housing market,” said Daniel Silver, an economist with JPMorgan Chase. The U.S. economy still faces plenty of challenges. Europe is likely already in recession because of its ongoing debt crisis. A separate survey of European manufacturers released earlier this week found that factory activity shrank last month for the 17 nations that use the euro. “It is hard to see the U.S. economy strengthening this year when the euro-zone is on the cusp of a potentially severe recession and when growth in Asia is set to slow,” said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics. Consumers could also pull back on spending. That would hurt growth because consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. But for now, Americans are feeling a little better about the economy. The Conference Board said last week that its consumer confidence index rose in December to the highest level since April.

Federal Reserve to regularly forecast interest-rate changes BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a major shift, the Federal Reserve will start announcing four times a year how long it plans to keep short-term interest rates at existing levels, according to minutes from its December policy meeting. The shift marks the Fed’s latest effort to make its communications with the public more open and explicit. The change is intended to reassure consumers and investors that they will be able to borrow cheaply well into the future. And some economists said it could lead to further Fed action to try to invigorate the economy. The Fed’s first forecast for interest rates will be included in the economic projections it will issue after its Jan. 24-25 policy meeting. More guidance on rates might help lower long-term yields further — in effect providing a kind of stimulus. Lower rates could lead consumers and businesses to borrow and spend more. The economy would likely benefit. Lower yields on bonds also tend to cause some investors to shift money into stocks, which can boost wealth and spur more spending. The Fed has left its key short-term rate at a record low near zero for the past three years. In August, it said it planned to leave the rate there until at least mid-2013, unless the economy improved. In January, the Fed will release an interest

rate forecast for the October-December quarter of 2012 and for the next few calendar years, the minutes show. It will update that forecast each quarter. After its Dec. 13 policy meeting, the Fed issued a statement that portrayed the U.S. economy as improving slightly. It declined to take any further steps to boost growth. The minutes show that some on the policy committee favored additional action to try to lift the economy — but only after the Fed’s more explicit communication policy was in place. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said he thought the minutes signaled that the Fed will keep its benchmark rate at a record low beyond the mid-2013 target it previously set. “Most people had expected the funds rate would start rising in the second half of 2013,” Zandi said. “But Fed officials seem to be more concerned about the economy’s prospects than investors currently think.” Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist with BTIG, suggested that the Fed will launch another bond buying program later this year to try to further drive down longterm rates. But Paul Dales, an economist with Capital Economics, cautioned that the minutes contained few signs that a third round of bond purchases is imminent. He thinks that such a step would come only if the economy weakened. The Fed sketched a

slightly healthier view of the economy after its last policy meeting for 2011. Hiring has picked up. And consumers are spending more despite slower growth globally. David Jones, an economist who has written several books about the Fed, said the decision to regularly update the public on expectations for interest rates carries some risk. If the Fed must alter its rate forecast in response to changes in the economy, it could lose credibility with investors. The Fed’s plan for more explicit guidance on interest rates follows other steps to make the central bank more transparent that began under Chairman Alan Greenspan and accelerated under the current chairman, Ben Bernanke. Last year, Bernanke became the first chairman to hold regular news conferences. He has also sat for televised interviews and held town-hall meetings. Collectively, Bernanke’s efforts have been intended to make the Fed’s decision-making process less secretive, to cast himself as open and accessible and to counter his critics. Not until Greenspan’s tenure did the Fed even announce any changes in its benchmark rate. Until then, financial firms had to study the Fed’s purchases of Treasurys in the bond market to try to determine whether it was raising or lowering rates. Previous chairmen tended to think the Fed operated best when it could keep financial markets guessing.

A strange finish? The Dow Jones industrial average beat the S&P 500 last year: It rose 5.5 percent vs. a flat performance for the 500. It’s the first time in three years the Dow has beaten the S&P 500. And it’s an example of how indexes offer limited and different slices of the market. Early in 2011, the indexes were on a nearly identical path. As the year progressed, worries about the global economy grew. That sent investors toward Dow stocks that investors consider safer bets. Of the Dow’s 30 stocks, 18 rose in 2011. That’s 60 percent. Only 47 percent, or 233 companies, rose in the S&P 500. Two reasons for the Dow/S&P 500 disparity: • How the indexes are constructed The Dow is calculated in a way that gives greater weight to companies with large stock prices. And it has only 30 stocks compared to 500 in the S&P. So a high-priced Dow stock can have a bigger impact on the average’s performance. IBM rose more than 25 percent and ended the year at $183.88. McDonald’s rose nearly 31 percent to $100.33. And the S&P 500 had a bigger

The S&P 500 did better than the Dow early in January, but the Dow pulled away as investors moved into safer, dividend-paying stocks. +15%

dividends, while only 79 percent of the S&P 500 have dividends. The biggest dividend yields in the Dow are roughly double the average yield of dividend-paying companies in the S&P 500, 2.6 percent. Verizon rose 12.1 percent to $40.12. It has a dividend yield of 5 percent. Demand for dividends helped feed the Dow’s gain. Including dividends, the Dow’s total return of 8.4 percent was quadruple the S&P 500’s 2.1 percent. Stan Choe, Jenni Sohn • AP

A last word on November manufacturing

Car companies report December sales today. They’re expected to show that General Motors surpassed Toyota in the U.S. and the world. What we don’t know is whether Volkswagen beat GM as the global leader. The top selling vehicle in the U.S. is expected to be the Ford F-series pickup. The top selling car: the Toyota Camry. U.S. sales for 2011 are expected to total 12.7 million, up 10.4 percent from 2010’s 11.5 million.

The Commerce Department’s report on factory orders in November will give a more detailed look at demand for goods than we got from its earlier report on durable goods orders. This report will include products such as paper, chemicals and clothing in addition to the computers, cars and other goods in the earlier report. Economists expect that orders rose after dropping in October.

Another look at the holiday season This week brings more readings on how strong the holiday shopping season was. Today, the International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs index will show how sales went last week. Many retailers make a sizeable part of their holiday season revenue in the week after Christmas. That’s when shoppers begin redeeming gift cards as well as look for merchandise that’s being cleared out.

Central clubs win third straight BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — Alcorn Central continued its post-Christmas hot streak. The Lady Bears and Bears will each head into the Alcorn County Tournament on three-game winning streaks following a sweep of Thrasher on Tuesday. The Central girls improved to 11-5 with a 47-38 win over the Lady Rebels despite an injury to Katie Foster. The senior, the leading scorer among Alcorn County females, left in the first quarter with a leg injury. MaKayla Voyles and Alexis Harmon helped pick up the scoring slack, combining for 29 points. Seven different Lady Bears tallied in the contest. Thrasher’s Xeneia Sorrell scored a game-high 27 points, including 15 of the Lady Rebels’ 21 second-half points. She recorded 12 of

Thrasher’s 16 field goals. Central held a precarious 34-29 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Three straight points by Kaley Crabb and the second longdistance rip by Harmon would give Central all the points they would need. • In the nightcap, the Bears (9-7) matched their first half output in a wild third quarter and cruised to an 86-41 win. After managing just a pair of free throws in the first half, Trae Bain exploded for nine points in a span of one minute as Central’s lead ballooned to 39. Jay Moore, who was one of his season high with 10 points, pushed the lead to 30 before John Wiley Works capped the 36-point frame with a three-pointer. Jordan Wyke hit his average with a game-high 19, including nine in the opening period. The senior scored five in a quarter-closing 9-0

run, giving AC its first double-digit lead on a buzzerbeating layup on a dish from Bain. All 12 Central players scored, with Jonathan Lovelace adding the final two points of the night. Both Central clubs will be in action on Friday, facing Biggersville in the second night of the Alcorn County Tournament.

MSU’s Cox declares for the NFL draft ‘Everything Mississippi State has done for me to help me get to this point’ The Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox has decided to enter the NFL draft instead of return to school for his final year of eligibility. The 6-foot-4, 295-pound junior from Yazoo City, Miss., had 56 tackles this season, including 14 1/2 tackles for a loss and five sacks. He was named the SEC defensive lineman of the week four times and was named to the AP’s All-SEC first team. He also blocked five kicks during his career, including a field goal attempt during Mississippi State’s 23-17 victory over Wake Forest on Dec. 30 in the Music City Bowl. Cox said in a statement he appreciates “everything Mississippi State has done for me to help me get to this point” and that he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play in the NFL.

Ole Miss survives against Southern Methodist The Associated Press

OXFORD — Terrance Henry scored 13 points, including four in the final two minutes, to lead Mississippi over Southern Methodist 50-48 on Tuesday night. Ole Miss (10-4) struggled to put away the Mustangs, trailing 48-46 with less than two minutes remaining. But Henry scored on a driving layup to tie the game and then hit two free throws with 28.3 seconds remaining to give the Rebels the lead. Ole Miss snapped a threegame losing streak. Reggie Buckner added eight points, 11 rebounds and two blocked shots. Maurice Aniefiok scored eight points off the

bench. Robert Nyakundi scored 12 points and Jeremiah Samarrippas added 10 as SMU rallied from a 31-21 second-half deficit, but it wasn’t enough. The Mustangs (8-6) shot 36.5 percent (19 of 52) from the field. Ole Miss survived this game thanks to Henry’s late points, but with SEC play looming on Saturday in a road opener against LSU, the Rebels are desperately searching for consistent offense. Henry is averaging 11.5 points per game — which ranks second on the team — and coach Andy Kennedy hopes the 6-foot-9 senior can provide more consistency

as Ole Miss approaches the most critical weeks on the schedule. The Rebels started with a promising 9-1 record this season despite an inability to score consistently. But the offensive problems caught up with them in late December, with three consecutive losses to Southern Miss, Middle Tennessee and Dayton. Ole Miss came into Tuesday’s game shooting just 42.9 percent from the field, including 28.4 percent from 3-point range and an anemic 58.7 percent on free throws — which ranks 333rd out of 338 NCAA Division I teams. In beating SMU, the Rebels improved on their free

throws — making 14 of 17 — but little else. Ole Miss shot 34.1 percent (15 of 44) from the field and 26.1 percent (6 of 23) from 3-point range. Luckily for Ole Miss, SMU was just as bad on offense. Even so, the Mustangs had a chance to take the lead in the final seconds, but guard Aliaksei Patsevich missed an open 3-pointer. Ole Miss led 28-21 at halftime despite shooting just 33.3 percent (8 of 24) from the field. The Rebels stretched that lead to 31-21 on Henry’s 3-pointer early in the second half, but the Mustangs responded with a 10-0 run to tie the game 15:01 remaining.

Scoreboard

Freshman worries West Virginia

PRO FOOTBALL

The Associated Press

NFL playoff schedule

MIAMI — When Sammy Watkins first arrived on Clemson’s campus last summer and reported for a workout with other incoming freshman receivers, quarterback Tajh Boyd sent him out for a pass. “I told him to run a post route, and I threw it and thought I overthrew him,” Boyd said. “But his speed was so ridiculous. I was like, ‘It doesn’t get any better than that.”’ That completion offered a hint of things to come in the ensuing months. Watkins set a school record with 1,153 yards receiving, was chosen a firstteam All-American and helped the Tigers earn their first major bowl berth in 30 years. Clemson (10-3) will face West Virginia (9-3) in a chilly Orange Bowl on Wednesday night, and Watkins is the player who most concerns the Mountaineers. “Clemson’s offense runs through Sammy,” defensive back Eain Smith said. “You eliminate Sammy’s big plays, you eliminate their offense.” Well, not entirely. Boyd set school records for yards passing, passing touchdowns and total offense. First-team All-American Dwayne Allen won the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end. Andre Ellington has rushed for 1,062 yards and 10 scores. But everyone agrees the 18-year-old Watkins was the primary catalyst for a team that scored at least 35 points eight times. His first touchdown came 26 seconds into the season, and he finished the year with 12 scores, 77 receptions, 229 yards rushing and a kickoff return average of 26.3. He became only the third true freshman to be selected a first-team AllAmerican, joining Herschel Walker and Adrian Peterson. “Somebody had better check his birth certificate,” Allen said, “because there’s no way this kid is 18.” The Tigers plan a feature role for Watkins in what should be another high-scoring bowl game. The forecast calls for temperatures in the 50s at kickoff, but Clemson and West Virginia still are likely to heat up the scoreboard, because both teams are potent on offense and suspect on defense. The Mountaineers’ Geno Smith has thrown for 3,978 yards this season. His inviting targets include Stedman Bailey, who set a school record with 1,197 yards receiving, and third-team All-American Tavon Austin, who set another school record with 89 receptions and ranked No. 2 nationally in all-purpose yards per game. Both teams will have plenty of support from friends and family, because both recruit heavily in Florida. Watkins grew up across Alligator Alley in Fort Myers and will be matched against a former high school teammate, defensive back Brodrick Jenkins. Watkins crossed paths with Jenkins back home over the holidays. “The first thing he said to me is, ‘You better get ready,”’ Jenkins said. “I said, ‘Bring it.”’ The older Jenkins played both receiver and defensive back in high school and served as a sort of big brother to Watkins. “I wanted to be like him,” Watkins said. “Coach always talked about him, and I followed him. But in high school I even got better than him. Actually I got way better than him at my position.” Jenkins doesn’t dispute it: “I knew he was going to be special.” Watkins decided in 10th grade he wanted to attend Clemson. Once he arrived, he made an impact the first time a pass came his way, taking it 33 yards for a touchdown. He was a starter by the third game against defending national champion Auburn. He had 10 catches for 155 yards, rushed for 44 yards and scored twice to help Clemson pull off an upset. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m a big part of the team,”’ Watkins said. “I need to produce every game, instead of just being a typical freshman. I’m actually one of those freshmen that’s on the stage now.” The Tigers keep him busy. He has 136 touches this season.

Clark’s crystal ball

Stewart returns to Chili Bowl Tony Stewart is leading a group of his racing pals back to the grass roots of the sport as he, Nationwide Series Champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr., USAC champion Bryan Clauson and 2011 POWRi Rookie of the Year Jake Blackhurst will be part of a four-driver team at the 26th annual Chili Bowl, a Midget car event that is run indoors on the QuikTrip Center’s Tulsa Expo Raceway, beginning Jan. 10. Stewart is a veteran of the Chili Bowl and has two Golden Driller trophies, from 2002 and 2007. This year he’s running a special edition black, carbon-fiber Chevrolet called the “Back in Black” car. “Having taken a few years off from competing in the Chili Bowl, I’m really looking forward to returning to Tulsa and the event in 2012,” Stewart said. “It’s one of the biggest Midget races of the year, and it’s just a lot of fun to compete in the Chili Bowl. “I’m also glad that we’ll be able to give our partners, Chevrolet and Chevrolet Performance Parts, another shot at a Golden Driller. I think it’s very feasible that we could get four cars in the A-Main on Saturday night.” For more information about the 2012 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, visit www.chilibowl.com.

Bass Pro Shops still to sponsor

Tony Stewart celebrates with the trophy in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford 400 and the 2011 Series Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 20, 2011. Stewart owes his championship to winning races, a strategy all drivers will try to emulate in 2012, according to Ed Clark. (NASCAR photo)

AMS president makes annual predictions for new season

E

d Clark, president and general manager of Atlanta Motor Speedway, has spent his entire working career in motorsports, having worked at several tracks including Bristol Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Nashville Speedway. The Virginia native also has experience behind the wheel of a race car. He raced at Rockingham, N.C., in the old Daytona Dash circuit and is a regular competitor on the quarter-mile Legends track at AMS, where he recently scored his 35th career feature win. In what has become an annual tradition, Clark has made his predictions, eight of them, for the coming NASCAR season. 1. Wins in 2012 will matter even more than they did last season. “Wins mattered a lot in 2011, but they will matter even more in 2012. Consistency was the norm for so long, but the whole paradigm has changed to where you have got to run for the win. “Because wins are going to mean so much, and based on last year’s results, you’ve got to run for the win instead of just a decent finish. It’s more and more become the norm, and that’s something that’s going to be a huge interest to fans, because that’s what they wanted to see all along.” 2. Consequently, 2011 saw a champion in Tony Stewart, who won the title by winning races. That’s going to be a must again. “Tony Stewart won the championship because he won races in the Chase. Anybody who wants to win the championship in 2012 will have to do that again.” 3. Dodge will contend for its first Sprint Cup Championship in several years with Brad Keselowski.

“You are going to see a Dodge as a contender for the Sprint Cup Championship right to the very end with Brad Keselowski. “Keselowski is going to have a multiple-win season again. I think he’s got the stuff to be a two- or three-time champion. He is destined for a bigtime year. “I think to do what he did in his second year was remarkable. Dale Earnhardt was a rookie in 1979 and won the championship in his second year. Good drivBrad Keselowski ers don’t take long (NASCAR photo) to get to the top.” 4. Speaking of championships, Carl Edwards will finally claim his first Sprint Cup title in 2012. “Carl Edwards is already one of the most determined guys to ever drive a car in NASCAR. You know he’s thinking about the end to 2011 every waking moment. He won’t forget what happened last year, and he won’t let that happen again. You don’t want to be in his way because he’s going to the front.” 5. As a top-ranked Googled athlete, Danica Patrick will bring a new wave of media interest to the sport. “Aside from bringing new media attention to NASCAR, Danica Patrick is going to have some competitive runs. She’s going to surprise a lot of people with some good runs. She’s going to be in good equipment, and she’s going to be working with good people, including Tony Stewart and crew chief Greg Zipadelli.”

6. With championship-winning crew chief Darian Grubb calling the shots, fellow Virginian Denny Hamlin will win five races and be a title contender. “After last season, Darian Grubb has something to prove. And Denny Hamlin still wants to make up for his heartbreaking end to the 2010 season. Grubb’s impact will be immediately visible.” 7. Michael Waltrip Racing will win multiple races. “Michael Waltrip Racing has every opportunity, with the new driver and crew lineups, to win races and compete at the front of the field on a regular basis. Many people may be questioning Clint Bowyer’s decision to move to the No. 15 car, but he could be a dark-horse Chase contender.” 8. The 2011 season set new records for first-time winners and most winners in a season, but 2012 will feature fewer winners and more multiplerace winners. “The 2012 Sprint Cup season will see fewer overall winners and more Danica Patrick drivers winning (NASCAR photo) multiple races. There will be more drivers winning two to three races and fewer drivers who win a single race. “This is no surprise since last year saw so many different winners, and this year will see an even higher premium on winning for points positioning.”

Bass Pro Shops has announced that it will continue its sponsorship role at Richard Childress Racing in 2012. The outdoor equipment retail giant will be the primary sponsor of Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet Impala in the Nationwide Series and his brother Ty Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet Silverado in the Camping World Truck Series. Both Dillons are grandsons of team founder Richard Childress. “We are pleased to once again partner with our good friend and hunting buddy Richard Childress for the 2012 racing season,” Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris said in a team release. “Austin and Ty are both remarkably talented racers with a promising future ahead of them. They are also tremendous ambassadors for the outdoors and hunting and fishing.

NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series, a developmental circuit that runs cars similar in appearance to those in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, will hold its season opener on Saturday, March 17, after the Nationwide Series race. “We believe adding the K&N Series to our schedule is something the fans will enjoy because it truly is a great series,” Bristol’s general manager and executive vice president Jerry Caldwell said in a track release. “A lot of really good drivers and crew chiefs have started out in K&N cars and ended up racing in the Sprint Cup or Nationwide Series.” Among the one-time K&N competitors who made it on to NASCAR’s major touring series are drivers Joey Logano, Ryan Truex, Ricky Craven, Steve Park and crew chiefs Greg Zipadelli, Richard “Slugger” Labbe and Frankie Stoddard. The 2012 K&N Pro Series East schedule features 14 races at 12 short tracks across the eastern United States and offers up-and-coming drivers a chance to race on historic short tracks as well as ovals that now host NASCAR’s elite divisions.

NASCAR Preview, Preseason Thunder Fan Fest look to rev up fans for 2012 Back in the day when R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., through its Winston brand, was the flagship sponsor of NASCAR’s elite series, each new season got a kick start in momentum from the Winston Preview, a pre-season event where media and fans got to mingle with the top stars of the sport. Now Sprint, the current sponsor of the Cup series, is bringing back that same type event with the NASCAR Preview 2012 Presented by Sprint. It is set for Jan. 21 in Charlotte, and already more than 50 drivers from the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series have been confirmed as participants. The preview, an all-day event inside the Charlotte Convention Center, offers autograph opportunities, question and answer sessions, show cars, simulators and racing games. It will be held in conjunction with the induction ceremony for the 2012 class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, which is set for Jan. 20 and will feature the induction of Dale Inman, Darrell Waltrip, Glen Wood, Cale Yarborough and the late Richie Evans. The Hall will unveil the exhibits honoring the inductees on Sunday, Jan. 22, making for an eventful weekend in Charlotte. Driver Jeff Burton said in a NASCAR

release that he’s among those glad to see the old Winston Preview format being resurrected. “I’m really excited about this event coming back, because I was sad it went away in the first place,” Burton said. The return of the preview doesn’t mean that fans in Daytona Beach won’t get to participate in the Preseason Thunder Fan Fest at Daytona International Speedway. For the past several years, this event has typically been held in conjunction with a test session at Daytona. This year’s test and fan event is set for Jan. 12-13, and like the preview will include autograph sessions, driver question and answer sessions, show cars and displays, music and more.

Ornamental grasses have winter appeal I saw one of the most beautiful sights the other morning just as the sun came up. Ornamental grasses, backlit by the sun, seemed to glow in the rich morning light. I realized at that moment that landscape grasses can have a significant impact in winter gardens. Most gardeners already know that ornamental grasses are fantastic garden plants, but we tend to take them for granted because they perform so consistently. We just expect them to do their job and be beautiful, and we don’t give them much thought. That ought to change. Gulf muhly grass is a native grass that performs well in the winter months. The grass flowers in billowy masses that resemble pink clouds, and the color holds until there is a hard freeze. The flower heads keep their airy shape

even after a freeze. Most garden centers will lump together gulf muhly Gary grass and Bachman related species with Southern s i m i lar Gardening landscape performance. But it really does not matter what they are called. Muhly grass should be in your landscape. Pampas grass is one of my absolute favorite fall plants, and it really commands attention. This perennial grass with wiry, serrated leaves is definitely not shy, with flower heads that can shoot 10 feet tall. The arching foliage has a variable greelor. If you don’t have enough room for plants that grow this big, consider a dwarf selection called Pumila. This selection grows only six feet tall, so it is a dwarf

compared to other common forms of pampas grass. This is an easy-care plant that thrives in hot, full sun in landscape beds. The flower heads are extremely dense, and the stalks, held in tight groupings, persist through the winter months for landscape interest. Give ornamental grasses some attention in the spring so they look their best in the winter. Prune them back to at least six inches from the ground before growth begins in the spring. This gives new foliage room to grow and expand. Apply a good, slow-release fertilizer at pruning to help the new foliage. While ornamental grasses are considered good choices for droughttolerant gardening, they grow best with consistent soil moisture. Apply supplemental water during periods of extended dry

A mass planting of Gulf muhly grasses is a beautiful addition to a winter landscape. These billowy flowers resemble pink clouds. weather, such as we have seen in Mississippi in recent years. There are many more types of ornamental grasses than those I have written about here. Visit

your local garden center or nursery to see what they have to offer, and consider planting ornamental grasses so you can enjoy them in your landscape next summer and

winter. (Dr. Gary Bachman is an assistant Extension research professor of horticulture at the Coastal Research and Extension Center in Biloxi.)

Right at home: turning books into furniture and art BY KIM COOK Associated Press

Stacks of books turned into tables? Volumes made into shelves? Pages turned into sculpture? Library purists, remain calm. Because we’re going to talk about doing things to books that might, under other circumstances, send a shiver up your spine (pardon the pun). As mountains of encyclopedias, atlases and almanacs become outdated, and an ocean of literary books succumb to the tides of time, craftspeople have come to the rescue.

Using glue, cutting tools, bindings and even belts, artists — book lovers all — are turning abandoned books into creative furniture and art. Chicago’s Brian Dettmer turns vintage medical, art and history texts into intricate Escher-like 3D sculptures. Susan Porteous, a sculptor and artist in Denver, spins paper from old books on Gandhi into string, and winds it on antique spools. British designer Jeremy May laminates hundreds of pages into exquisitely rendered jewelry.

Jim Rosenau, of Berkeley, Calif., makes thematic shelves: One is made out of vintage cookbooks, another out of sports books. And Lisa Occhipinti, a mixed-media artist and designer in Venice, Calif., who wrote “The Repurposed Library� (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2011), makes looped, birdlike mobiles out of old book pages — such as the 1952 illustrated children’s book “Paws, Hoofs and Flippers.� She festoons mirrors with pages from an old edition of “The Wizard of Oz.�

She sells some of her work on Etsy.com and does commissioned work. For a piece called “Flora Grid,� she turns paper into flower bursts assembled in a contemporary pattern. And her “Circulation� binds a collection of weather- and time-beaten volumes into a graphic sculpture. “It’s about giving books a new life; it has nothing to do with destruction. It is all about honoring books, and that comes from a profound and lifelong love for them,� Occhipinti says. “I’m fascinated by how they connect people, plac-

es and time. Books contain vigor, and by reconfiguring them into new forms, I aim to give them a life off the shelf.� Her book gives advice and instruction on how to source old books; and includes make-at-home projects like a lamp base, utensil holder and switchplate cover. Jason Thompson is the founder of Rag & Bone Bindery in Pawtucket, R.I. His store sells new bound journals and stationery, but he also has written “Playing With Books� (Quarry, 2010), which

showcases the work of several artists who deconstructed and re-imagined old books. Once your own imagination has been sparked, you can try your hand at rolling, folding, decoupaging and papier macheing printed pages into all manner of creative objects. Some projects are easy, such as paper butterflies, blossoms and orb ornaments. Others involve more advanced origami, or a whole lot of patience, such as the basket made of dozens of tiny tightly folded pages.

Accident in ’63 shrinks whole world in ’11 BY PAMELA HITCHINS Vicksburg Post

VICKSBURG — A lot of people who have heard the story over the years still don’t believe it, Wallace Goza says of his surviving a fall from the top of an electrical pole 48 years ago. Now an unlikely epilogue has been added to the tale — Goza’s chance encounter in a Jackson hospital waiting room with a man he’d never met but who knew just about every detail of his story except his name. Goza, 78, was visiting his cousin at St. Dominic Hospital a couple of months ago when he was introduced to his cousin’s pastor, the Rev. Geoffrey Joyner of First United Methodist Church in Brandon. The name rang a bell with Goza, and not because Joyner spent nine

years in Vicksburg as the minister at Crawford Street United Methodist. “Are you kin to Brother Oliver Joyner?” Goza asked. “That was my dad,” Geoffrey Joyner told him. Talking, the two realized Geoffrey Joyner’s father, the Rev. Oliver Joyner, had been an important part of Goza’s recovery nearly half a century ago — which in turn had become a significant part of Oliver Joyner’s ministry. The elder Joyner had been pastor of the Northview United Methodist Church (now Morning Star Adventist Church) where Wallace Goza and his wife, Janice, were members in January 1963. Wallace Goza was a 29-year-old lineman with Mississippi Power & Light, and he and Janice

had a 9-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter. One morning, he and five crew members were performing routine maintenance on a line. In those days, the men climbed the poles using hooks on their boots and a safety belt, and that day one of the men talked Goza into using his new safety belt to “hobo up the pole.” “I didn’t need it — I had my own — but he was so generous, and his looked newer than mine, so I took it,” he recalled. When he got to the top of the pole, “it pulled apart, just like you’d take a piece of gum and pull one end and the other,” Goza said. “It was a clean break.” He fell nearly 55 feet, suffering a broken back, two broken legs, a crushed ankle, a broken arm, cuts on his face and a body so bruised it hurt

and was discolored for two years. On the way down, he had time to think, and remembers praying, “Lord, help me, this could be it,” he said. “But when I hit the ground, I never ever thought about dying again.” Goza’s crew did what they could, pulling off his boots and trying to tend to him, although they all thought he was dying, he said. One ran about a mile to get to a phone and call an ambulance. “There had been a wreck that day, and the people had been taken to Mercy Hospital. The ambulance was still there. Dr. (Richmond) Sharbrough was also at the hospital and he jumped in the ambulance and came with them,” Goza said. An 8-foot-long twoby-four — the only thing available — was grabbed

ily and I didn’t know how to do anything else,” Goza said. “Plus I loved my job.” He has steadfastly refused to find self-pity in the accident and its painful aftermath. “I could have sued somebody, but I didn’t,” he said. “They could have given me a million dollars and I don’t know where I’d be today, but I didn’t look at it as a tragedy. I just accepted it and went on with my life. I had a good job, I made good money. I have no ill feelings about it.” The Gozas went on to have another son, and in the 1990s Wallace Goza retired from MP&L after 43 years with the company. Oliver Joyner, who died in 1994, served at Northview for just three years before moving on to another church in the Delta, but the accident was an object lesson he often called upon in his ministry, his son said. “I must have heard that story 100 times,” he said. “Daddy would always preach about putting our faith and confidence in the right place. He would talk about the lineman from the power company that he had known who had a brand new safety belt, and the brand new belt let him down — but God didn’t. That was the way the sermon was preached.” If he had known Wallace Goza’s name, he would have looked him up when he was at Crawford Street from 2000 to 2009, he said. “That was a freak accident that happened,” said Janice Goza, and she was not talking about her husband’s fall. “It just goes to show you, the world is not as big as you think it is.”

from the back of a truck, and the doctor used it to splint his right leg. “They put me in the ambulance and the ambulance door wouldn’t close,” Goza said, so Sharbrough rode in the back holding onto Goza with one hand and the ambulance door with the other. “Then when we got to the hospital, they wheeled me into the elevator and the elevator door wouldn’t close.” A maintenance man was called to bring a Skil saw to cut the board so they could get Goza into the elevator and up to surgery. The doctors operated for seven hours, he said. Oliver Joyner was called and stood by during the entire surgery. Janice Goza, who had been at work at Westinghouse (now Cooper Lighting), was told “he had a little accident.” She got to the hospital in time to see him arrive with the twoby-four sticking out of the back of the ambulance. “I was in shock,” she said. “I couldn’t believe he was in the shape he was in.” Doctors told her the next 72 hours would be critical to Wallace’s survival. Over the next eight months, including nearly three spent at Mercy, Goza recovered. Oliver Joyner visited him 85 out of the 87 days he was at Mercy. “It was not a big part, but it was the biggest thing to me,” Goza said. MP&L paid all of his medical bills and held his job open for him, he said. Before his first day back, he made a point of climbing another electrical pole even though he still had braces on his legs, just to make sure he could do it. “I had to feed my fam-

GULFPORT — A submariner from Pascagoula is one of three Mississippians who will be among the new $2 billion USS Mississippi’s crew after the sub is commissioned in Gulfport in June. Petty Officer 1st Class Joshua Bordelon, 32, decided to join the Navy 13 years ago. The son of a submariner and grandson of a sailor, Bordelon had family ties to submarines, but was also inspired to make a career of working underwater after seeing the movie “The Hunt For Red October.” Bordelon, who works with sonar, said he will be happy to be aboard the submarine named for his home state. “I consider it quite an honor,” Bordelon said by phone from Groton, Conn., where the submarine was finished and will be based for the foreseeable future. “My father was a submariner before me. One of the things he told me was that he regretted he wasn’t able to commission the USS Louisiana, which was named for his home state. So for me to come in and do my time in the Navy and commission the boat named after my home state, I really appreciate that opportunity.” Bordelon was born in Hartford, Conn., but his family moved to Pascagoula in 1991. He graduated from Pascagoula High in 1997. He’s not the only Mississippian who will be on the Mississippi’s crew. There’s also Seaman Recruit Devin M. Williams of Liberty and Petty Officer 1st Class Chadwick K. Spradling of Byhalia, Navy officials said. Bordelon’s father, Jeffery Bordelon of Pas-

cagoula, was a Navy submariner and commissioned the USS Ohio and USS Tennessee submarines during his 13-year Navy career, in which he served as a machinist’s mate. Jeffery Bordelon’s father, Rudy, who lives in Monroe, La., was also a sailor during the Korean War era. Jeffery Bordelon said the sea has been a large part of his family’s life. “Joshua was practically raised on submarines,” Jeffery Bordelon said. The USS Mississippi was christened earlier this month at a ceremony in Groton at General Dynamics Electric Boat in an event the builders control. South Mississippi submarine vets had lobbied the Navy to commission the sub on the Gulf Coast, as the Navy controls those events. The Mississippi’s commanding officer, Capt. John McGrath, said he had been to the coast twice to scout commissioning sites. Pascagoula and Gulfport were both considered. Some of the Virginiaclass submarines, which are named for U.S. states, have been commissioned in their namesake states, and some have not, due to complex logistical considerations. McGrath said Navy officials found Gulfport to be a good site. U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, a former governor of Mississippi, made the decision to hold the event here. “There really is no better option than to commission a ship in its namesake location,” McGrath said. “We see this as a tremendous opportunity to celebrate the relationship between the ship and its namesake state.”

Sister’s affair costs boyfriend a job DEAR ABBY: My long-distance boyfriend, “Wayne,” moved here two years ago to take a job working for my twin sister “Kim’s” mentor. After five months on the job, Wayne was terminated and was replaced by -- my sister! To say there are hurt feelings is an understatement. Wayne and I were unaware that Kim had been having an affair with this much-older married father of two. He has now left his wife and kids and is living with my sister. Kim is enjoying her job as his assistant and reaping all the benefits of his longestablished business. I’m devastated by the betrayal. It frustrates me that after months of deception, my twin is benefiting from a massive indiscretion that ended a marriage and destroyed a family. We were always close, but I don’t want to include her lover in any upcoming events in my life. She says they’re a “package deal.” How do I move past this — or should I? — DECEIVED

Jan. 4, 1977 Mary Shane hired by Chic White Sox as 1st woman TV play-by-play

BY MY E V I L TWIN DEAR D E CEIVED: I’m not Abigail sure what Van Buren “ u p c o m ing events Dear Abby in your life” you’re referring to, but if they include Wayne, his feelings should also be taken into consideration. How angry and resentful will he feel if he’s forced to interact with the man who fired him so he could be replaced by your sister? I can’t decide for you how you will work this out, but I will offer this advice: For the present, make no hard and fast decisions. This could play out in any number of ways. Her boss could marry her, or he could return to his wife and family. Wait and see what the future brings. It’s often full of surprises. DEAR ABBY: I am a single adult female. I have a neighbor and friend I’ll call Kurt. He has been ter-

rific to me. He has given me things, taken me out a few times and seems very caring. I enjoy the time we spend together and I have developed romantic feelings for him. My problem is Kurt is gay. I know I can’t have the kind of relationship with him that I’d like to. Once, we spent the whole day together and I spent the whole time wishing it had been a real date. It seems like whenever we go out together I don’t know how to handle the situation. Because he’s a neighbor, I run into him a lot. I could use some advice on this. — SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR IN TEXAS DEAR NEAR AND FAR: You and Kurt appear to be compatible, but you must accept that as wonderful a person as he is -- he cannot give you the romantic love you’re looking for. He isn’t “wired” that way. Wishing, hoping and dreaming won’t change that — but it will waste your time and prevent you from looking for eligible men. You need to put the

brakes on this friendship until you have regained your balance and/or have met someone else. And tell Kurt why, so his feelings won’t be hurt. I’m betting it won’t be the first time he’s heard it. DEAR ABBY: Is a grandmother being disrespectful when she purposely continues to misspell her 12-year-old grandson’s name on cards and gifts? — HIS NAME IS JOE! DEAR H.N.I.J.!: Not knowing the grandmother, I can’t say for certain. She may be letting you know she’s disappointed you didn’t name the boy after his grandfather “Morris.” She could also be illiterate or somewhat demented, but I’m betting she’s letting you know she’s not happy with the name you chose. (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.)

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Jupiter in Taurus amplifies the hungry tendencies of the Taurus moon. Luckily, there are some things you can still be ravenous for without compromising your health and integrity. While it may not be your first inclination, it will certainly be energizing to cultivate your hunger for knowledge, joy and spiritual fulfillment. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You started out working hard because you liked a certain person and you wanted this person’s approval. Now you just work hard because it feels right to do it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll feel uncharacteristically impatient. Your diligence will make a difference, though not in one day. Commit to doing the same action for three weeks, and you’ll be amazed at where you wind up. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You feel protective, recognizing how fragile people really can be. Your conscientiousness extends not only to your loved ones, but to people you don’t even know. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll get the kind of rare challenge that focuses your thoughts. Instead of being reactive and critical, you’ll be active and creative, bringing all your knowledge to bear on the situation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Something that now

requires a great deal of discipline to accomplish will require far less discipline once you’ve established a series of habits to support the activity. Keep going. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may be in a position to report to another person about your work, but no one is really the boss of you. You’ll take charge and feel in control of what you will or won’t do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Action doesn’t have to be momentous and revolutionary to create progress. What occurs out of consistent, small steps will be remarkable, meaningful and crucial to the big picture. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your general excitement about life will stir up something brave in your soul. You’ll need to put all that energy into something, and today brings an endeavor just risky enough to appeal to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You are changing, and the environment around you will transform to meet your new needs. What brought you pleasure yesterday is not the same thing that will bring you happiness in the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It takes strength to move a relationship forward, but it also takes vulnerability. Being willing to let others lead once in a while shows both qualities at

the same time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). There’s something you need to know, and you’ll set a kind of trap to try to get the information you want. You may not realize exactly what you’re doing. So many of the games people play happen on subconscious levels. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone with a similar background is the most fun person to be around today. No matter how far away you are from where you grew up, you’ll feel like you’re home. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 4). This year your creativity will be met with inspired action, and the result will be explosive success. You’ll build a bridge to someone’s heart this month. March is your chance to trade in “old baggage” for shiny new luggage -- and you’ll take a trip to celebrate, too. New professional situations open up in July. Sagittarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 14, 43, 6 and 28. ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I’m a Virgo, and I have my eye on a Gemini guy. Can you give me any advice that will make me irresistible to him? I had a dream that he was the

love of my life. If he’s not (and I’m not even sure whether I believe in romantic fate, soul mates or “the one”), then at least he’s someone I would very much like to add to my life. In short, I want him to be as excited about the prospect of dating me as I am about the prospect of dating him. That doesn’t seem to be happening on its own. How can I make it happen?” Gemini men like to keep things light for as long as possible. If he feels that you’re in any way fixated on him, it will scare him. Another thing that you should know is that Gemini men can be really social and aware of what their friends think. Sometimes a Gemini guy will pursue a date because he knows she’s the type his friends would also be attracted to, and their jealousy gives him pleasure. So focus your efforts on making yourself a prize. Be lighthearted and fun around him. Act as though you know deep down that you’re the catch of the century.
