City officials: Shiloh patchwork to begin soon BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The bumpy patch on North Shiloh Road between Shiloh Ridge and Henderson Road is due to be fixed in the next few weeks. It has been a big source of complaints to city oﬃcials. Public Works Director Clayton Mills said it was on the agenda for APAC to resurface the patched spot the two times that the contractor was in Corinth to do other work, but they ran out of time and it didn’t get done.

Corinth native and artist Peter Bowman is being remembered as beloved, quirky and covered in paint. A former art instructor and popular artist in Memphis, he is the subject of a memorial exhibition at the Memphis College of Art Rust Hall Main Gallery, 1930 Poplar Avenue, Overton Park, through Jan. 26. One of his paintings commissioned by Milton Sandy Sr. can currently be seen at the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery. Bowman, who died July 31, was known for his landscape and still life paintings characterized by thick layers of brightly colored paint. “Peter had a very recognizable style and really pushed paint around,” said Memphis College of Art Dean Remy Miller. “He painted with unabashed enthusiasm, and the paint was heavily applied. He was always covered in paint, but it wasn’t the sort of ‘show oﬀ’ thing you sometimes see in artists that are trying too hard. Peter wasn’t capable of being false — he was as genuine a painter and person you would ever want to meet.” The painting at the Corinth gallery was Bowman’s first commissioned work, according to Milton Sandy Jr. It was done for the James Lawrence Restaurant Sandy Sr. and three business associates built along with a motel in the early 1960s in Lawrenceburg, Tenn.

“He painted with unabashed enthusiasm, and the paint was heavily applied. ... Peter wasn’t capable of being false — he was as genuine a painter and person you would ever want to meet.” Remy Miller Memphis College of Art dean The painting depicts a naval battle during the War of 1812 in which Naval oﬃcer James Lawrence coined the phrase, “Don’t give up the ship!” Milton Sandy Jr. said the family has wonderful memories of Bowman. “Some of my most fond memories are adventures as kids on boy scout camping trips in Troop 129,” said Sandy. “Our scout leader was Mr. Bill Hardin, who was the manager of the Bell South telephone oﬃce in Corinth, and he had the patience of a saint.

cause of that painting. So I’m not sure Peter’s early art inclinations were that well received when Pete was living at home. From this original painting, it is evident that the heavy use of paint and vivid colors were a personal style that never changed throughout Peter’s career.” Bowman taught art at Memphis University School for nearly 30 years, from 1979 to 2008, in addition to teaching at Rhodes College and in MCA’s Community Education program. His

work is included in the permanent collections of Rhodes College, Financial Federal, Pfizer, Promus and the VCU Health System. He was also known for his work outside the classroom.

Bill to limit attorney general’s powers falters BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi House has narrowly rejected a bill to limit the attorney general’s powers. But the bill is being held for another debate. A Republican chairman needs to pick up just a few votes for the bill to pass and move to the Senate. House Bill 555 would require the attorney general to receive permission from a three-member board before filing any

lawsuit that might have at least a $250,000 award. Board members would be the governor, the lieutenant governor and the secretary of state. Currently, that would force the lone Democrat in statewide oﬃce to seek permission from Republicans. Attorney General Jim Hood has sued several corporations, and those lawsuits have put millions into the state budget. The bill failed Wednesday with 58 voting for it and 60 against.

morphine, oxycodone and others. Deputies also seized a 9 mm pistol, $825 cash and 11 boxes of syringes. “It’s a large amount of drugs that we’ve taken oﬀ the street,” said Caldwell. “I’d like to commend my deputies and investigators for the work they’ve done.” The arrest came after

information that an individual with active warrants was possibly at a location on U.S. Highway 45 just south of the Corinth city limits. When oﬃcers approached the suspect’s vehicle, the man attempted to flee but was blocked by patrol cars. He was taken into custody on the warrants, leading to the discovery of the drugs.

Across the Region Tishomingo County

Today is Thursday, Jan. 19, the 19th day of 2017. There are 346 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 19, 1977, on his last full day in office, President Gerald R. Ford pardoned Iva Toguri D’Aquino, an American convicted of treason for making English-language radio broadcasts from Japan aimed at demoralizing Allied troops in the Pacific Theater during World War II. (Although she was popularly referred to as “Tokyo Rose,” D’Aquino never used that name, and was believed to be one of a group of female broadcasters.)

Wreck claims life of Burnsville man TISHOMINGO COUNTY — The Mississippi Highway Patrol is still investigating a single vehicle crash, in Tishomingo County, that claimed the life of a Burnsville resident. Troopers responded to the single-vehicle crash on MS 30, near Paden at approximately 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Upon arriving it appeared Michael Abbey, 45, of Burnsville, was traveling west on MS 30 when he apparently lost control of his 2000 Ford F-150. His vehicle left the roadway, overturned and collided into some trees. Abbey received fatal injuries in the crash and died on the scene, according to Public Affairs Officer M/SGT Ray Hall.

Iuka

On this date: In 1807, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. In 1861, Georgia became the fifth state to secede from the Union. In 1942, during World War II, Japanese forces captured the British protectorate of North Borneo. A German submarine sank the Canadian liner RMS Lady Hawkins off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, killing 251 people; 71 survived. In 1955, a presidential news conference was filmed for television and newsreels for the first time, with the permission of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1960, the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States of America was signed by both countries in Washington, D.C. In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon nominated G. Harrold Carswell to the Supreme Court; however, the nomination was defeated. In 1987, Guy Hunt became Alabama’s first Republican governor since 1874 as he was sworn into office, succeeding George C. Wallace. In 1992, German government and Jewish officials dedicated a Holocaust memorial at the villa on the outskirts of Berlin where the notorious Wannsee Conference had taken place.

Juvenile shooting ruled an accident IUKA — A Tishomingo County juvenile shooting has been ruled an accident, according to the Tishomingo Sheriff’s Department. Deputies responded to the North Mississippi Medical Center in Iuka on Jan. 14 where they found a juvenile who had been shot in the abdomen. The shooting was ruled an accident after deputies discovered the victim along with a brother were target practicing and while the victim was trying to take a .9mm pistol apart, accidently shot himself in the abdomen. The victim was later transported to Le Bonheur Childrens Hospital in Memphis where he underwent surgery and was listed in critical condition. No charges have been filed at this time.

raise money for the Friends of the Library. Cauley said they have talked about having a monthly event where they have a soup and sandwiches luncheon to raise money. Members of the FOTL would eat free at those events. The group has also discussed a summer event that would bring together local writers as a way to raise funds. “A lady came from Jackson to give us advice on how to organize a Friends of the Library,” said Cauley. “She really helped us in getting together as a group to help our library.” Those interested in becoming a member should write a check to the McNairy County Friends of the Library and send it to the McConnico Library at 225 Oakgrove, Selmer, TN 38375. A membership cost is $10 for an individual or $25 per family. Membership requests should include the interested person’s address, phone number, and email address.

McNairy County

County seeks exception for law on jail location

Library friends group seeking new members MCNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — An avid group interested in helping the McNairy County Library has made significant progress in organizing the Friends of the Library. The group has hopes of buying needed items for the Jack McConnico Library in the future. The Friends of the Library began meeting in November and recently met again on Monday, Feb. 6. Donna Watson is the president and Brenda Cauley is the vice-president of the group. Cauley said she checked with library director Robbie Harris last fall and learned that 2,500 visitors came to the Selmer library on a monthly basis. A member of the McNairy County Board of Commissioners, Cauley looked into the background of the library when a budget shortfall almost led to the closing of the McConnico Library. Cauley hopes the group will be able to buy items for the library like new computers and new furniture. The Friends of the Library received a $6,000 donation from a local organization that has been beneficial in building a foundation. “I’ve been surprised at how much we have been able to put together in a few months,” said Cauley. “I was afraid that if the library was closed, it would never reopen.” Plans are being made to

Tupelo TUPELO (AP) — Lee County supervisors are asking the Mississippi Legislature to ease restrictions that could hamper the county’s ability to build a new jail. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that a state law requires a jail to be within a mile of the county courthouse. The Lee County courthouse is in downtown Tupelo, and supervisors say they’re worried they won’t be able to find enough land at an affordable price. They unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday asking lawmakers to give Lee County an exception to the law on jail location. Republican Rep. Jerry Turner of Baldwyn says he will push the legislation.

Starkville Mississippi State gets social media award STARKVILLE — Mississippi State holds a top social media presence among U.S. higher education institutions. The university is ranked 11th on Facebook and 37th on Twitter, according to a report released late last month by Engagement Labs, a technology and data company. Mississippi State and University of Florida are the only Southeastern Conference members found among the Top 25 on Facebook.

A Montreal, Canada, business established in 2008, Engagement Labs also has offices in New Jersey and the United Kingdom. Officials said their rankings are based on an eValue Analytic scoring system that somewhat mirrors benchmarking data of the longstanding New York-based Nielsen global information, data and measurement company. “Social media helps colleges and universities on multiple fronts, including the acquisition of new students, staying in touch with alumni and building communities,” said CEO Bryan Segal. “There’s not a huge barrier to (social media) entry, so it’s all about tactics,” Segal said. For universities and colleges, social media “is important for where they were, are and need to be with the demographics they’re trying to reach.” Schools included in the report are categorized as Ivy League, for-profit and the NCAA conferences. A number of SEC institutions are found throughout the Top 50. At Mississippi State, institutional social media operations are coordinated through the Office of Public Affairs led by Sid Salter, chief communications officer. The university’s numerous social media strategies are directed by Checky Herrington, the office’s marketing research analyst.

Tupelo Renasant to buy bank for $190 million TUPELO (AP) — Renasant Corp. announced Tuesday that it’s buying Metropolitan BancGroup for $190 million in stock. The Tupelo-based bank says acquiring Metropolitan’s $1.2 billion in assets will boost its market share, making it the fifth-largest bank in the metro areas of Memphis, Tennessee, and Jackson, Mississippi. Metropolitan has eight total offices, four in the Jackson area and two apiece in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. “Metropolitan is a high quality commercial and private bank with a strong credit culture and an attractive client base which enhances our current presence and market share,” Renasant Chairman and CEO Robin McGraw said in a statement. Both banks’ boards of directors have approved, and the merger is expected to be completed sometime after July 1, pending regulatory approvals. It’s the sixth acquisition for Renasant in nine years, and will boost the bank’s assets over $10 billion for the first time.

Corinth, Miss.

Something to do GULFPORT — A waxing moon. A chilly night in a brand-new year. And on the edge of a Gulfport sidewalk, across Highway 90 from the Mississippi Sound, about 50 protesters Rheta chanted cumbersome slogans Johnson to one another and to a few representatives of the local Columnist media. It was a small but passionate crowd. This is bona fide opposition. It may not look like much on the surface, but it is something, at least, that can be done as an administration led by climate change deniers takes over the country. A peaceful protest. Locally. Ordinary people. “Climate change is not a hoax; Trump’s cabinet is a joke.” Try saying that three times fast. We were in front of the federal courthouse, opposing with awkward chanting and homemade signs the proposed cabinet posts set to go to Rex Tillerson, Scott Pruitt, Rick Perry and Ryan Zinke. Read that list and weep. Lends itself to another slogan: Rex and Rick and Ryan and Scott. Makes you want to cry a lot. Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran was not there, though his oﬃce is nearby. Probably in Washington working on repealing Obamacare. The hope was Cochran would read a newspaper story or see some snippet on the local television news about the protest and at least know there is some opposition to leaders who deny science. Leaders who will whistle as they feel the sea lapping up around their beds. Most of the protesters at this modest protest already knew one another. There were hugs and warm greetings, sort of like a PTA meeting with the survival of the planet tops on the agenda. School lunches, class play and, oh, yes, rising tides. They had been called together by the conscience and emails of one Jennifer Croslin of Steps Coalition, a consortium of nonprofits formed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to promote “a healthy, just and equitable Mississippi Gulf Coast.” The group gathered was mostly middle-age women and men, holding high clever signs: “There is no Planet B!” “Earth is Calling; Answer.” “Love Your Mother.” “There are people in Mississippi who believe in climate change,” a grateful Croslin said. That was the point. To show there is thinking opposition. In Mississippi. Imagine. The hopelessness these days threatens to be overwhelming. Where do you begin to argue with an administration that calls climate change a hoax? The environmental retardation is but one area of concern, of course. This is a mindset that opposes rights for women, gays, some religious groups. It has no problem with torture or Russian hacking of American elections. Where to start? Well, defending the planet we all live on is one obvious place. So this small protest on a cold Mississippi night was perhaps not as insignificant as it appeared. It mattered. Was bona fide. Fundamental. Multiply it by a thousand, 2,000, 3,000, and you eventually will get the attention of those who claim to have won control, of our minds and hearts and ethics, by a landslide. Doesn’t have to be true, only repeated a lot. This protest was a simplicity pattern. Could be copied by anyone, anywhere. Yes, there are people in Mississippi who know that climate change is real, and, as one man said, “The only hoax is that the science is not real.” Listen, leaders. Ignore us at the planet’s peril. Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com.

Prayer for today Lord God, I pray that if I have struggled for the wrong, and have worked with weak hands, thou wilt forgive me for my lost strength. Give me more light to shine upon my work, upon thy promises, and upon my duties; and with thy wisdom may I search for the truth that is behind every wrong, and for the purpose that is beyond all journeyings. Amen.

A verse to share The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. —Habakkuk 3:19

The shameful war on Betsy DeVos The controversy over the nomination of Betsy DeVos as secretary of education has been, if nothing else, clarifying. We now know that working to give poor kids more educational opportunities is considered a disqualifying oﬀense for the left. For decades, DeVos has devoted herself to creating alternatives to a publicschool establishment that fails its most vulnerable students, and she earned the eternal enmity of defenders of the status quo in doing it. The assault against her by the teachers unions and their allies speaks to a certain desperation. They have been steadily losing ground in the debate over educational choice at the state and local level, and now DeVos threatens to occupy the commanding heights of federal policy at the Department of Education. Through her activism and philanthropy, DeVos has pushed for every form of educational choice, whether charter schools, school vouchers or tuition tax credits. She championed the charter-school law in her home state of Michigan and has been chair of the American Federation for Children, devoted

to electing state legislators around the country who favor choice. (By way of full Rich disclosure, husLowry her band, Dick, National sits on the Review board of the National Review Institute.) Her nomination has elicited a motley collection of charges running the gamut from the silly to the serious, if wholly misleading: She’s wealthy. Well, yes, most philanthropists are. She once spoke of wanting to “continue to advance God’s kingdom.” Her critics might find this less threatening if they had more than a passing familiarity with how Christians talk and what they believe (every Christian wants to advance God’s kingdom). She doesn’t necessarily care about punishing sexual assault. This is absurd innuendo built on the $10,000 in donations that she and her husband gave to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. The group is dedicated to protecting free speech on campus, but also advocates for due-process rights for

the accused in sexual-assault cases. The crux of the case against DeVos is that she is ruining education, as allegedly demonstrated by the experience of the charter schools that she has championed in Michigan. Her detractors argue that charters in Detroit in particular have been a disaster. If Detroit’s charters are hardly world-class, they are demonstrably better than the city’s traditional public schools, which is the most relevant metric for Detroit parents. The traditional public schools have failed abysmally for generations (about half of adults in Detroit are functionally illiterate). Jason Bedrick and Max Eden summarized the data on Detroit’s charters for the publication EducationNext. A study by Stanford’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes found that roughly 50-60 percent of charter schools outperformed comparable district schools. A report from a nonprofit called Excellent Schools Detroit rated 16 percent of charter schools as excellent or good compared with only 5 percent of district schools, whereas 62 percent of the district schools were weak

or failing compared with 35 percent of the charters. Finally, a report from the conservative Michiganbased think tank the Mackinac Center reached similar conclusions. If it is too much to ask that unions and their allies welcome marginal improvements in educational attainment in Detroit, perhaps they can at least avoid smearing it? The other charge against DeVos is that she heedlessly opposes standards for Michigan’s charter schools, even though she has supported measures to shut down persistent underperformers and to grade charters from A to F so parents can make more informed choices. Educational choice has been on the march over the past 20 years or so. In 1991, only Minnesota had a charter law. Now, 42 states and the District of Columbia do. Twenty-five states have private school choice programs, an increase from a mere handful 15 years ago. The ideological war over educational choice won’t be settled anytime soon. What’s clear is that poor parents value it, and that they have a friend in Betsy DeVos. The unions will never forgive her.

Guns in America and shooting back BY GLENN MOLLETTE Columnist

I’m an advocate of the right to bear arms. I own several nice pistols and a shotgun. I wouldn’t mind adding a couple of more to my collection. I have never shot anybody or aimed a gun at a person. I hope and pray I never feel in such danger that I might feel the urgency to do so. Aiming a gun at someone means the possibility of taking that person’s life. I would never want to be in that situation. However, I know I could do it if someone was intruding my home or threatening my family. There are two major reasons why people want guns and they are the right for protection and to hunt animals. Some people like collecting them and some like to shoot at targets.

like America free of firearms. Some believe this might be utopia for our country. We then come back to the issue of people who enjoy hunting deer, elk, rabbits, bear, ducks, etc. The sport of hunting and the griping fear of being vulnerable to evil people will forever keep guns flowing in America. Of course, let’s not forget the Second Amendment that is not going away. Sadly, we are all vulnerable to being shot. This reality has existed since the founding of our country. Almost anybody at any time in this nation since the beginning could access a firearm and shoot somebody. We heard about outlaws and gunfights in the Wild West back in the 1800s. Welcome to the Wild West that now covers every inch of America and unfortunately our world. We don’t expect to be sit-

ting at a coﬀee shop sipping a latte and lose our life to an evil person who walks down the street randomly shooting, like those poor people did in Paris. Nor do we anticipate going to hear some music at a concert and be gunned down which also happened in Paris. We don’t dream of walking through an airport to pick up our baggage and then be randomly gunned down by an insane person. Nor do we ever dream of sending our children to a school to be shot by someone who got access to a gun. We didn’t used to expect such incidents but now we look around us. We check to see where the exit doors are at malls and theaters. We look twice around us at restaurants and public events. We know that even in our houses of worship that unlocked doors means anybody might walk in and

begin eliminating lives. Terrorism has successfully taken away our relaxed way of living and traveling in America and most of the world. This is why every eﬀort must be made to eliminate such groups as ISIS and any hate group that encourages such violence. We must also realize that while wackos might only be one in a million that it only takes one to kill five people like happened in Fort Lauderdale International Airport last week. Don’t live in fear. Don’t die of a heart attack stressing out because that’s what terrorists want. Yet, always be alert, wary and legally carry a gun and shoot back if you get the chance.

Bryant: Time to consider starting a state lottery BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS

“When we see traffic crowded on the Mississippi River bridge taking revenue to our neighboring state, it may be time to face a new reality. We can no longer contain the people’s desire for a lottery; we can only force them to travel.”

Associated Press

JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant told lawmakers in his State of the State speech Tuesday night that it might be time for Mississippi to create a lottery as a way to generate revenue without raising taxes. His proposal was met with only a smattering of applause. Mississippi is one of six states without a lottery, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Several proposals to create a lottery in the Bible Belt state have died during the past two decades, usually with little or no debate in the Legislature. Bryant himself has been elected with the support of conservative religious groups that oppose the games of chance, but he said several months ago that he would be open to discussion about the issue. Bryant said Arkansas received $80 million from its lottery last budget year — some it from tickets bought by Mississippi residents. “When we see traﬃc crowded on the Mississippi River bridge taking revenue to our neighboring state, it may be time to

Gov. Phil Bryant face a new reality,” Bryant said. “We can no longer contain the people’s desire for a lottery; we can only force them to travel.” Bryant, 62, began his career as a deputy sheriff and is starting his sixth year as governor. He said he will support “Blue Lives Matter” legislation. At least four bills would strengthen the penalties for attacks on law enforcement officers. Bryant mentioned the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agent Lee Tartt, who was killed and three other officers were wounded in a February 2016 shootout during a standoff with a man holed up in a house near Iuka. “Across our nation, law enforcement is under attack,” Bryant said. “Here

in Mississippi, most of our citizens continue to support and respect the men and women who wear the badge and protect and serve.” Mississippi in 2017 is marking 200 years of statehood, and Bryant called on the public to take part in bicentennial events. “Like most nations and states, Mississippi has had trials and tribulations that cannot be forgotten or excused,” Bryant said. “But, we also have a rich history that should be celebrated by us collectively.” As he has in many other speeches, Bryant bragged on job creation, including the development of a Continental Tire manufacturing plant that is be-

ing built outside Jackson and a Raytheon plant that is being developed in Meridian to build training jets. He said his top priority for his remaining three years in oﬃce will be to improve Mississippi’s struggling foster care program. He also called on lawmakers to be frugal with the budget, including setting aside money to replenish the rainy day fund that provides a financial buﬀer when the state economy lags. Bryant has already cut the $6.4 billion budget twice since the current fiscal year started July 1. Bryant recommended starting a Mississippi Faith-Based and Community Advisory Council to help community organizations. He also asked lawmakers to eliminate at least 16 existing state boards that haven’t met in more than a year, but he didn’t name them. Bryant noted that his wife, Deborah, could not attend the State of the State address because she was feeling under the weather. “I can only assume that she is sick of hearing me make speeches,” he deadpanned.

Some praise, others criticize call for lottery Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant received some praise and some criticism for his 2017 State of the State speech, which he gave Tuesday night at the Capitol: State Treasurer Lynn Fitch, a Republican, said she agreed with Bryant’s call for legislators to be careful with spending. Fitch said she wants a state constitutional amendment that would tighten the budget process. “It was an excellent overview,” Fitch said of the speech. Attorney General Jim Hood, a Democrat, praised Bryant’s emphasis on improving the foster care system, which has been enmeshed in litigation for years. He said he wanted to hear Bryant oﬀer a specific proposal for how to use revenue from a lottery, if one is created. “As far as how to fix some of these things, I wanted to hear some details about how you raise revenue to pay for things like mental health,” Hood said. Rep. Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, said Bryant took a positive tone in the speech. “There’s a lot of good news about Mississippi,” Gipson said. However, Gipson, an ordained Baptist minister, said he continues to oppose a lottery. “To me, it’s a drop in the bucket for our size state.” Rep. Kabir Karriem, D-Columbus, said he wanted to hear Bryant talk about changing the state flag, which prominently features the Confederate battle emblem. Karriem also said he wanted to hear about criminal justice reform. “I’m very supportive of a lottery,” Karriem said. “It passed the House last session and I think that’s a move in the right direction.” Sen. Michael Watson, R-Pascagoula, praised Bryant’s call to put damages collected from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill into a special savings account. “The coast economy is still not recovered.”

Civil rights movement inspires café Practices joining forces BY LARRY GIERER The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

PHENIX CITY, Ala. — As a young man, the Rev. Noble Williams worked as a locomotive engineer and he would periodically have to stay overnight in Birmingham, Ala. Dorms were provided for the crew, but blacks stayed in one section and whites in the other. “The next morning we would all get on the train and work together,” he said. It was not the best of situations. But when it comes to civil rights, Williams knows he may have had it hard, but his grandparents and parents had a more diﬃcult time. The 62-year-old has now been senior pastor at Greater Mount Zion Baptist Church in Phenix City for 17 years and is most proud of a special place there called the Sitin Café. Designed like a diner from the 1960s, its purpose is to stimulate conversation about that time in American history. The walls are adorned with black and white photographs depicting the civil rights movement. One shows a man drinking from a “colored people” water cooler.

Another shows blacks sitting in the back of a bus. There are depressed black children standing in a cotton field and black adults at a lunch counter. Martin Luther King Jr. is shown delivering his “I Have a Dream” speech. Coretta Scott King is posed with Rosa Parks. The basement room was formerly a kitchen. When a church building with a commercial kitchen was constructed, it became a break room. “This is a vision the Lord gave us about a year ago,” Williams said. “I don’t think we do a good job imparting information about the civil rights struggle to our children.” His generation heard details from their elders. Williams can recall scenes on television of dogs and fire hoses being used against blacks. He said while much progress has been made in race relations, there is still work to be done. “Racism is a big part of the world and we need to know how to survive it,” Williams said. The pastor wanted a place for remembrance and conversation and that is what the café provides.

“I think it is working,” he said. There has been good dialogue between young and old. “What they have now, the young people have to see from whence it came, what it took for us to get where we are,” he said. “We want them to know about the years of struggle that African-Americans went through, the blood, sweat and tears, and show them that where we are now has not always been this way.” Williams worked for 23 years with Norfolk Southern. “It was a dream job,” he said. “It was exciting.” But he did not stay long enough to retire. He resigned and went into the ministry. “It was a calling,” he said. When he left the railroad, he was already on the staﬀ at Mount Zion, a church that has been around for more than 140 years. He was licensed in 1996 and ordained a year later. In 1999 he took over as pastor. He grew up in the church at which he now preaches, being raised less than two blocks away. He attended Pacelli Catholic School in Columbus, Columbus State University and Beacon Theological Seminary.

Ex-President George H.W. Bush, wife hospitalized BY MICHAEL GRACZYK Associated PressÂ

CHOICES We all make choices every day, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we? Some are minor and not long lasting, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;earth -shakingâ&#x20AC;? in their consequences. Our choices about spiritual things are especially important, because they impact our service to God now, and determine where we will spend eternity. Probably the best known statement about choices in all Scripture is found in Hebrews 11:24-29. This text reveals relevant truths about Mosesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choices and ours. First: Faith impacts our choices.â&#x20AC;?By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter; choosing rather to suffer afďŹ&#x201A;iction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a seasonâ&#x20AC;? Moses made a good choice because he had a strong faith. He believed in and followed God. To make good choices, I need a strong faith. If the faith is not there, I may yield to Satanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will, and take the path of least resistance. Secondly: Good choices may mean giving up earthly things and accepting hardship. Verse 25 of the paragraph cited says Moses â&#x20AC;&#x153;refused to be called the son of Pharaohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughterâ&#x20AC;?, and verse 26 speaks of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;treasures of Egyptâ&#x20AC;?. Verse 27 says he â&#x20AC;&#x153;forsook Egypt.â&#x20AC;? It is difďŹ cult for me to grasp the wealth and ease, the treasures and the pleasures Moses gave up to follow Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will. My choices may bring difďŹ culty for the present, and even for the foreseeable future. Jesus warned his disciples that the world would hate them. (John 15:18-21) Thirdly: Choices determine destiny. Moses recognized the eternal value of his choice.â&#x20AC;?He had respect unto the recompence of the reward.â&#x20AC;? (Verse 26) Verse 27 saysâ&#x20AC;? he endured as seeing him who is invisible.â&#x20AC;? Moses was able to look beyond the difďŹ culties and discomforts of this world to the reward beyond. Paul gave up all he had attained in Judaism that he might win Christ. (Philippians 3) His statement in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 reveals the priority he gave to pursuing spiritual things rather than carnal. If you examine your life, ďŹ nd you have made bad choices, and need to turn in a different direction, we would love to hear from you. We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ

HOUSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former President George H.W. Bush was admitted Wednesday to the intensive care unit of a Houston hospital with pneumonia, and his wife, Barbara, was hospitalized as a precaution after suffering fatigue and coughing, a spokesman said. The 92-year-old former president, who had been hospitalized since Saturday, underwent a procedure â&#x20AC;&#x153;to protect and clear his airway that required sedation,â&#x20AC;? family spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement. Bush was stable and resting comfortably at

Houston Methodist Hospital, where he was to stay for observation, the statement said. The 41st president was placed in the ICU to address â&#x20AC;&#x153;an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia,â&#x20AC;? McGrath said. He later told The Associated Press that doctors were happy with how the procedure went. Bush was first admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot of money to be gained betting against George Bush,â&#x20AC;? McGrath said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just kind of in a wait-and-see mode.â&#x20AC;? McGrath said Barbara Bush, who is 91, had not

McGrath described the move as precautionary. The Bushes, who were married Jan. 6, 1945, have had the longest marriage of any presidential couple in American history.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Learn what happened this week in the Mississippi Legislature in Capitol Connections by staff writer Zack Steen, a new weekly feature appearing on Sundays in the Daily Corinthian.

Mom gives blessing to kids attending church with grandma Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: I am an atheist. My parents, although raised Presbyterian, never to my knowledge participated in organized religion, so it was not part of my up-

bringing. Last year my mom started going to church again, and my kids have been going with her. I’ve always said they can make their own choices and I’d support them. Mom is about to go south for the rest of the winter and there’s no obvious church member the kids can go with, but they’d like to keep attending. Would it be wrong for me to go with them on Sundays, even though I don’t believe in the church doctrine and won’t be otherwise involved in the organization? I’m sure I could be unobtrusive, but I’m not sure what to say if someone asks why I’m there -- especially since I’ll stop going once my mother returns to town. The kids are tweens and not old enough to go alone. What do you think? -- WHAT’S APPROPRIATE? DEAR WHAT’S: When people see one another in a house of

worship, they usually assume that they are equally religious and that’s why they’re there. However, if you are asked why you’re there, all you have to say is that your children enjoy being there and your mother is away, so you brought them. I don’t think it’s necessary to announce to anyone that you’re an atheist. DEAR ABBY: My husband is constantly complaining about the cost of groceries. He recently graduated from college and now works in the corporate world making substantially more than he did before. I’m 16 weeks pregnant, but before I quit my job I was working full time and would buy all the groceries. Now that my husband shares an account with me, he constantly makes me feel bad for buying food. Abby, I’m not talking about $300 a week; it’s more like $70 a week for food. Yet he spends twice that amount on beer, video games and lunches for himself. I have told him numerous times how horrible he makes me feel, and have even cried about it, but today he brought up the topic again. He is making me depressed and afraid of buying food for fear of being mocked and “guilted.” What am I to do? -- THE COST OF GROCERIES DEAR COST: Your husband should be ashamed of himself. The next time he complains,

stand your ground and tell him in no uncertain terms it’s time to grow up and cut it out. He’s no longer a kid; he’s a married man with responsibilities. Those groceries are feeding his wife and child, and you both need all the nourishment you can get right now. Also, stress for a woman in your expectant condition isn’t good for you or the baby. I think it’s time the guilt trip worked both ways, don’t you? DEAR ABBY: Is it appropriate to stay in contact with my former mother-in-law? Her son and I divorced after three years. She was the best thing to come out of the whole fiasco. I don’t want to cause friction, but I would like to continue to send birthday and holiday cards. -- DIVORCED WITH NO REGRETS DEAR DIVORCED WITH NO REGRETS: I can’t see how a holiday card relationship with your former mother-in-law would cause friction. However, because you are concerned, the person to ask would be the lady herself. If she would welcome the attention from you, then send them. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). The current speed of time is one second per second. Try to stay inside of that, as one might stay inside a car on the freeway; speeding through and yet simultaneously rather still. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Amp up the importance of your goal. If it’s important enough, you’ll relate all decisions to the ultimate vision of that goal. With everything you do, you’ll ask: Does it get me closer? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll spend part of the day figuring out what is best for the health and development of another person. It’s not so easy to forget all about you and really feel life as the other person might. This is love. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You take a personal approach, perform with fluidity and leave your audience (whether it be one or 100) thinking: “Who was that, and how can I get more?” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Cognitive dissonance isn’t something people experience in times of

crisis. To some degree it’s the constant. Our brains are wired to continuously deal with internal disagreement. Humor helps. Parts of today will be absolutely hilarious. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can’t help whom you prefer, though of course it’s only natural to want to spend more time with the one who inspires a warm and reflective feeling in you and less time with the one who makes you work in some way or another. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you know you don’t have much time for a task, you tend to give it your deep, full attention. This is why it will help you to set a strict time limit on things that don’t naturally have one. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a reason why videos of funny dogs and cute kittens are the online refuge of children from ages 1-101. We could all use a little levity and softness in our experience. None will be immune to this need today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Change always comes at a cost. Lose this, gain that -- this is the balance of life. The best is when you wind up trading something you can no longer use for something you can (like what happens today)! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The old way is safe, comfortable and familiar. It’s also boring you to tears. You’ll come up with a new way. Give yourself the best chance at being accepted by privately working out the bugs before presenting. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The best perk about seeing new places in the world is that it enables you to finally see your homeland for what it is. Contrast is necessary for perception. It takes two eyes to see depth. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Making things too easy for the other person is actually not very nice. This is why “no spoilers” is a good policy, and it’s also why you should never give an unwrapped gift. The prize is in the discovery.

Still, shaking a sweet tooth isn’t so easy. Soda consumption n

MARKET SUMMARY G

Economic bellwether The Commerce Department reports today its home construction data for December.

The technology and consulting company, due to serve up quarterly financial results today, is expected to report that its earnings increased from a year earlier, even as revenue declined. That would be in line with IBM’s quarterly performance in the first three quarters of 2016.

The sky is falling for high school student WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I’m a sophomore in high school. Lately, I’ve been having some anxiety. I can’t quite pinpoint it, but it’s this sense of impending doom, as if something very bad is about to happen. For example, I’ll be lying in bed and suddenly I’ll be overcome with dread, thinking the ceiling is about to collapse on me or just some vague bad thing is going to happen. Then I get this feeling that if I just complete some gesture — making the bed and then getting back in or turning the light on and then back off — I’ll prevent the disaster from happening. It’s bizarre, but I feel the need to complete these actions every time the anxiety flares up. For instance, I work at a clothing store on the weekends, and the other day, I was ringing a woman up, removing the security tag off the blouse she was buying, when all of a sudden, that overwhelming feeling of panic crept up on me, and I felt as if I absolutely had to put the security tag back on and then remove it again — four times. The woman kind of gave me a confused chuckle, and I tried to pretend it hadn’t happened. It wasn’t a big deal, but I worry I’ll do more stuff like that in the future. I know, of course, that my random gestures aren’t going to stop some-

Dear Annie thing bad from happening. But knowing that doesn’t make it any easier to suppress the urge. What’s going on? Is this normal stress? Am I crazy? — Feeling Neurotic Dear Neurotic: You’re not crazy, but it sounds as if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder. The kind of “magical thinking” you describe — think of it as making up your own personal superstitions — attempts to provide some semblance of control over the external world. Many people who experience magical thinking were raised in chaotic, unstable households and developed obsessive-compulsive disorder as a coping mechanism. Visit the International OCD Foundation at https://iocdf.org for more information, and talk to your parents, a school counselor and/or your physician about therapeutic treatments. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Confused Mom,” whose young daughter keeps being disappointed by her unreli-

able, mostly absent father. When I kept having to tell my children that Dad was not coming, the kids were getting angry with me, as though it were my fault. I finally realized that their dad needed to be the one to tell them he would not be coming; this way, he would hear the disappointment in their voices. So from then on, I would hand the phone to one of my children when Dad got ready to break his plans. The children were so happy to see “Good Time Charlie” on the weekends, while I was the one who raised them on a daily basis, with all the rules. Both of my children turned out pretty darn well, and they still loved their father — but they understood that he was not a great father. He was only the man who had walked out of their lives when they were 5 and 7. “Confused Mom,” when your children get much older, they will realize who the good parent was, but I know it hurts to watch a child growing up with expectations and having her heart broken every time her father does not show up. My heart goes out to you. On the plus side, my children had a great stepfather for 18 years, until he passed away. There is hope for someone else to love your child. — Been There, Done That

Rebs win, State falls: go figure BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

The wide world of sports can be a wild and wacky adventure sometimes. Take Tuesday evening for example. The Mississippi State Bulldogs hosted No. 5 Kentucky at the “Hump” and had a Wildcat slaying in their sights before having their second-half rally from double digits down fall just short as UK escaped with an 88-81 victory. The irony was that MSU outshot Kentucky from the field — 54 percent to 51 percent. That was an impressive showing by both squads. Neither team shot very well

at the free throw line and the Wildcats hit seven 3-pointers to State’s five. If you take a look at the final stat sheet, the game was lost largely because of turnovers at the most inopportune times. The Bulldogs suﬀered 19 turnovers compared to just 10 assists. That’s not normally a winning formula. Especially against a team the caliber of Kentucky. Among several positives for MSU: they beat the spread. The ‘Cats came in as a 14-point favorite and did manage to keep a double digit lead for a good part of the game. But they did have to fend

oﬀ a furious second half rally by Ben Howland’s team to secure the win as Humphrey Coliseum was rocking. Mississippi State (12-5, 3-2) cut the lead to four points before they were forced to start fouling and UK (16-2, 6-0) hit shots when they had to. That’s what talented teams do. The loss snapped a threegame winning streak by the ‘Dogs as they get set to travel to Tennessee this Saturday to face the Vold. ■ Speaking of UT, what happened in Oxford Tuesday night? The Volunteers were sitting pretty with a 13-point lead with 15 minutes left in the contest before the Rebels

kicked it into another gear that Ole Miss fans haven’t seen in a few games. Even with three minutes remaining in the game, UM led UT by a single point at 68-67. But the Rebs closed on a 12-2 run to make the game look like a rout. But those in attendance and watching on TV know that wasn’t the case. “I never really felt like we were in control with 15 minutes left, said Vol coach Rick Barnes. “But they (Rebels) took it to another level.” Ole Miss (11-7, 2-4) definitely needed this game if they hope to make any postseason tournament this Please see REBELS | 11

NEMCC’s spring softball schedule features altered non-conference format Northeast Sports Information

BOONEVILLE — The Northeast Mississippi Community College softball program is altering its schedule compared to years past in order to help prepare for league competition. The Tigers will complete all their non-conference contests prior to the start of Mississippi Association of Community and Junior

Colleges (MACJC) play for the first time in program history as part of their 48game 2017 slate. Northeast revamped its calendar in order to get its players more experience on the field early in the initial month of the regular season. The Tigers have lost several dates due to bad weather in February over the last several campaigns.

The Tigers have not competed in more than 11 matchups before their first MACJC doubleheader in the previous four seasons. Northeast is tentatively set to take the field 20 times before it moves solely into action inside the Magnolia State. “I want to try to get as many looks at our players as possible to try and fig-

ure out where our best nine are from an oﬀensive and defensive standpoint,” said Northeast head coach Jody Long. “Hopefully our kids can see a little more pitching and those type things.” The Tigers get things underway on Tuesday, Feb. 7, by hosting Blue Mountain College’s junior varsity Please see SCHEDULE | 11

In a serious sidenote from this game, Rebel guard Rasheed Brooks is reportedly resting comfortably at Baptist Hospital in Oxford after suﬀering a seizure on the sideline during the game. At last report, he was listed in stable condition. Ole Miss travels to face Missouri Saturday in search of their first SEC winning streak of the season. ■ Finally, what is going on with the Northeast Tigers? After experiencing a pair of losses to nationally-ranked teams in Tallahassee (Florida) over the Christmas break, the Tigers have now dropped back-to-back games to Northwest and East Mississippi. Northeast started the season ranked among the top 25

JC teams nationally by Athlon, the only Mississippi team mentioned in the preseason rankings. Now they are 2-2 in division and face a tough road test at Holmes Thursday evening. It’s too early to worry for Northeast fans, but the Tigers can’t aﬀord another quick loss to the Bulldogs if they hope to reclaim the division title and try for another state and region championship. Coach Cord Wright has the talent on hand to win the division and make a deep run in the playoﬀs, but the defense has to improve if NEMCC is to make it that far.

squad. It will be the inaugural meeting on the diamond between these two local institutions. Area softball fanatics are in for a treat just over one week later from Feb. 17-18 as the annual TigerFest Tournament returns to all three fields inside the Booneville City Park complex. Northeast entertains clubs from six diﬀerent states, including as far north as Illinois and Missouri, for what is widely considered as one of the top events in the entire country. The Tigers also enlisted in the Rush Invitational, which is hosted by Meridian Community College, for the first time since 2012. Northeast will battle Baton Rouge (Louisiana) Community College, Heartland (Illinois) Community College and Spoon River (Illinois) College on Friday, Feb. 24. Northeast begins the month of March by welcoming Dyersburg (Tennessee) State Community College on the first and then traveling to Calhoun (Alabama) Community College two days later. The MACJC portion of the schedule gets underway on Tuesday, March 7 at Coahoma Community College. The Tigers’ first home conference twinbill is later that week against Hinds Community College. Northeast and archrival Itawamba Community College tangle just once for the second

consecutive campaign. The two adversaries square off on Tuesday, March 14 in Fulton. The Tigers visit reigning region and state champion Jones County Junior College on Saturday, March 25. Another marquee date is Tuesday, April 11 when longtime foe Northwest Mississippi Community College comes to the City of Hospitality. Northeast will celebrate and honor its sophomore class on Friday, April 21 during its final regular season games versus Southwest Mississippi Community College at David Carnell Memorial Field. “Somebody from the MACJC is going to be contending for a national championship,” Long said. “We’ll tell our kids from day one that we don’t want to lose the last game on our schedule. Day in and day out when we step onto the field we’re going to bring our Agame.” A best-of-three elimination round kicks off the postseason over a two-day span from April 28-29. The MACJC State Tournament will take place the following week at the lowest remaining seeded team. The top three squads from the state playoffs plus Louisiana State University at Eunice then clash in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 23 Tournament. The winner advances to the NJCAA Division II championship in Clinton.

The Greenville native finished the year with 43 tackles and played in all 13 games. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey introduced new Student-Athlete Leadership Councils in 2016 for the sports of football and men’s

and women’s basketball in which, in addition to the conference’s longstanding StudentAthlete Advisory Council (SAAC), provide student-athletes with additional opportunities to engage with campus leaders and conference office staff. The councils serve as a conduit of communication to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience and studentathlete wellness. The groups also provide feedback on proposed rules governing the SEC and NCAA.

With high-octane offenses in title games, this should be fun The Associated Press

This should be fun. The conference championship teams feature big-time oﬀenses — yes, we know, the Steelers didn’t look like one in the red zone last weekend — that could turn the scoreboards into tote machines. And while Pro Picks has always preferred the bruising defensive battles, there’s no denying how entertaining Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Ryan can be when flinging the ball around the field. Add in some terrific runners, led by Pittsburgh’s Le’Veon Bell and New England’s LeGarrette Blount, and such All-Pro targets as Antonio Brown and Julio Jones, and bettors will be in love with the over (60 for the NFC, 50½ for the AFC) this week. Indeed, it’s diﬃcult to make an argument that any of the defenses will be the deciding factor in Foxborough or Atlanta.

Yes, the Patriots yielded the fewest points in the NFL this season, but the three best oﬀenses they played were Arizona, Buffalo and Pittsburgh. The Cardinals matchup was in the season opener, when Arizona’s oﬀense was not tuned-up. New England beat the Steelers without Roethlisberger, who was injured, and no one would mistake the Bills for a juggernaut with the ball. Then again, the Patriots are a juggernaut with the ball. Look at how they beat Houston, the topranked defense in the league, in the divisional round even though Brady was not at his best. And think about what they are capable of. “I think we’ve just got to learn from it,” he said. “It was a lot of things, and then when you add our poor execution on top of that, then you add our turnovers on top of that, it doesn’t feel great because we worked pretty hard to play a lot better than we played.”

One thing the Steelers won’t be on Sunday is intimidated by Brady and New England’s resume. The only way to win at Gillette Stadium is to be aggressive from the opening kickoff, and Mike Tomlin’s team will be that. Oddly, Roethlisberger has never faced the Patriots in a postseason game at New England. He’s 0-1, that defeat coming in Pittsburgh during his 2004 Offensive Rookie of the Year season. New England is a 5-point favorite to make its seventh Super Bowl with Brady at the helm; the Patriots are 4-2 in their previous trips. Pittsburgh, which has been to three Super Bowls with Roethlisberger, going 2-1, is the one AFC team capable of pulling off the upset. But it won’t. PATRIOTS, 34-26

Green Bay (plus 5) at Atlanta As we marvel at the talents of Rodgers, not to mention his prognosticat-

ing, and enjoy how much excitement he brings to the field, there’s one thing we can’t ignore. The Packers are too undermanned in the secondary. Dak Prescott tore up Green Bay’s struggling and tiring D in the second half last Sunday. Cowboys receivers were so open that Jerry Jones probably could have completed some passes. That’s a recipe for failure against Ryan and all the weapons he has. Julio Jones could be a bit hobbled, which would even things up a bit. And if Rodgers gets back a somewhat eﬀective Jordy Nelson from his rib injury ... Sorry, Cheeseheads, can’t persuade ourselves to believe. Pro Picks thinks this comes down to one unit being too banged-up and deficient. FALCONS, 35-31 ___ Last Week: Against spread (3-1). Straight up: (4-0). ... Season Totals: Against spread (128-125-8). Straight up: (163-99-2). ... Best Bet: 12-7 against spread, 14-5 straight up. ... Upset special: 7-11-1 against spread, 7-12 straight up

OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE The Houston Texans signed quarterback Brock Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million contract before the season, and he may not see the second year of that deal as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starter. Two days after Osweiler threw three interceptions in 34â&#x20AC;&#x201C;16 playoff loss to New England, Texans coach Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit to Osweiler as his starter next season. Despite throwing more interceptions than touchdowns during the regular season (15 TDs, 16 INTs), Osweiler won eight of 14 starts. ... Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown could be facing a ďŹ ne from the NFL after he posted video on Facebook Live that included the voice of head coach Mike Tomlin addressing the team after Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win in Kansas City. NFL policy prohibits players from posting messages on any social media platform 90 minutes before kickoff through post-game interviews. The video made clear that Tomlin has a

healthy disdain for the Patriots and was not happy that New England got a head start preparing for the game after playing early on Saturday. But as usual Pats coach Bill Belichick downplayed things, telling Boston radio station WEEI, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not on Snapface and all that, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really get those.â&#x20AC;? ... The NFL moved the start time of the SteelersChiefs game from 1 p.m. ET to 8:20 p.m. ET because of an ice storm that hit Kansas City. The result was a huge rating as 37.1 million viewers tuned in, more than have ever watched a Saturday prime-time playoff game. Could we see more Sunday night playoff games? The NFL is reportedly discussing it, but other changes would likely have to be made as well. The Steelers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get home until early Monday morning, putting them behind in preparation for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game compared to New England, which played Saturday afternoon.

Sour grapes? Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce unleashed a profanity-laced rant after the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 18â&#x20AC;&#x201C;16 loss to the Steelers, and his ire was directed at the officials after a holding penalty wiped out a two-point conversion that would have tied the game with 2:43 left. Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second try to tie the game failed, and the Chiefs never got the ball back. Kelce, who caught ďŹ ve passes for 77 yards in the game, may have cost Kansas City points in the third quarter. The Chiefs settled for a long ďŹ eld goal after Kelce dropped a pass in the red zone and took an unnecessary roughness penalty after the next play.

COACHING CAROUSEL Buffalo Bills (7â&#x20AC;&#x201C;9) Fired: Rex Ryan Hired: Sean McDermott After two years of Ryan running a loose ship, Buffalo switches gears to the detail-oriented McDermott. The former Carolina defensive coordinator is also likely to play a 4-3 system better suited to the Billsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personnel after Ryan ďŹ&#x201A;ipped them to a 3-4 when he arrived. Denver Broncos (9â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7) Retired: Gary Kubiak Hired: Vance Joseph Less than a year after winning the Super Bowl, the Broncos are going through big changes. Joseph brings his defense from Miami, so Wade Phillips is out as defensive coordinator. Former Chargers coach Mike McCoy will run the offense. Jacksonville Jaguars (3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;13) Fired: Gus Bradley Hired: Doug Marrone Marrone went 1â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1 to ďŹ nish the season after Bradley was ďŹ red, and the Jags liked him enough to give him the permanent gig. But former coach Tom Coughlin was also hired to oversee all of the football operations, so his inďŹ&#x201A;uence will also be seen. Los Angeles Rams (4â&#x20AC;&#x201C;12) Fired: Jeff Fisher Hired: Sean McVay After ďŹ ring Fisher and his 22 years of head coaching experience, the Rams turn to McVay, who at 30 becomes the youngest head coach in NFL history. Los Angeles hopes McVay can do for quarterback Jared Goff what he did for Kirk Cousins in Washington. Los Angeles Chargers (5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;11) Fired: Mike McCoy Hired: Anthony Lynn Lynn has some good players in key spots, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ rst-time head coach. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face a challenge with the Chargers moving to Los Angeles, where no one seems to want them. While Lynn had never been even a coordinator before taking over the Bills offense in Week 3, players raved about him as a leader. San Francisco 49ers (2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;14) Fired: Chip Kelly Hired: TBD Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels pulled his name out of the running on Monday, leaving the 49ers with Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable as the top candidates. It would be a surprise if San Francisco hired anyone before Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season ends and Shanahan ofďŹ cially becomes available. Photos: Athlon Sports

Murray, Federer advance to 3rd round at Australian Open The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An hour after his win, Andy Murray still hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to get any video to see how he twisted his ankle and tumbled to the ground. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance the mostviewed clip by that stage at the Australian Open was of the betweenthe-legs shot by enigmatic local hope Nick Kyrgios late Wednesday in his surprising loss to Andreas Seppi in the second round. The third day of the seasonopening Grand Slam had gone generally to script until the evening. Roger Federerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress was straight-forward, beating 20-yearold qualifier Noah Rubin 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (3) to maintain his record of

never failing to reach the third round at the 18 Australian Opens heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contested. After back-to-back wins over qualifiers, the 17-time Grand Slam championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comeback from a sixmonth injury layoďŹ&#x20AC; will increase in the degree of diďŹ&#x192;culty. Next up, Federer faces 2010 Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych, who had a 6-3, 7-6 (6), 6-2 win over Ryan Harrison. Also looming, potentially, is No. 5 Kei Nishikori, the 2014 U.S. Open finalist. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in the top-heavy quarter of the draw with the top-ranked Murray, who for a few moments at least was wondering if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make it to the third round. Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoe caught on the sur-

face and he tumbled to the court at Rod Laver Arena, clutching his right ankle and cringing in pain during the third game of the third set against No. 156-ranked Andrey Rublev. The five-time Australian Open runner-up continued and won that game, but told himself, loudly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good news.â&#x20AC;? He saw a trainer during the next change of ends, but decided he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any extra treatment on his already heavily braced joint. He limped and stretched for a while, but went on to win 6-3, 6-0, 6-2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was moving OK toward the end,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive.â&#x20AC;? Speaking at a midnight news conference, Murray mentioned that his ankle had throbbed during

the match and he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to see the replay to determine the cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just a little bit stiďŹ&#x20AC; just now,â&#x20AC;? he said, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done too much damage.â&#x20AC;? It was Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 178th win in a Grand Slam match, joining Stefan Edberg in a tie for eighth on the list of match winners in the Open era. Murray next faces No. 31 Sam Querrey, who had 7-6 (5), 6-0, 6-1 win over 17-year-old wild-card entry Alex De Minaur. U.S. Open champion Stan Wawrinka, who won his first major title in Melbourne in 2014, advanced 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 over Steve Johnson and will next play No. 29 Viktor Troicki in the lower quarter of the drawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top half.

That part of the draw is now missing No. 7 Marin Cilic and the 14th-seeded Kyrgios, who were beaten in night matches. Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion, lost in four sets to Daniel Evans. Seppi, ranked 89th, rallied from two sets down and saved a match point to beat Kyrgios 1-6, 6-7 (1), 6-4, 6-2, 10-8 in a seesawing match that featured that oddlytime â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tweener. Seppi was serving for the match when Kyrgios changed the pace of a rally with the high-risk shot that will spark further debate about his attitude toward the game. He won the point, and that game, but 32-year-old Seppi kept his cool and won the match, closing with an ace.
