Christian flag supporters plan rally

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

RIENZI — Supporters of the Christian flag will rally around the Town of Rienzi on Saturday.

The rally, spearheaded by Kevin Nelms, will be the first public meeting of its kind since the Freedom From Religion Foundation threatened legal action if the flag wasn’t removed from the downtown Rienzi Veterans Memorial.

“If someone doesn’t start standing up, then where is it going to stop?” questioned Nelms. “First it was the Mississippi state flag - folks are still trying to take it away. Now the Christian flag ... if we don’t stand up, then

“I want to show everyone that Mississippians stand by what we believe in. I just figured since they wanted us to take it down, then we’ll put a few up in it’s place.”

Applications begin for Green Market

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Green Market is ready to sow a season’s worth of new sellers.

Dates are set for the upcoming season, and the committee began accepting applications this week. The season will launch April 1 in conjunction with the Crossroads Chili Cook-Off.

Other dates for the year are May 6, in conjunction with the Coca-Cola Classic 10K; June 3; Sept. 2; Oct. 7, in conjunction with Hog Wild; and Nov. 18, which will be the holidaythemed Red Green Market.

“Last season was great, and we want to keep that momentum going,” said Crossroads Museum Director Brandy Steen. “It continues to grow, and it’s an important fundraiser for the museum.”

The mix of locally made crafts and locally grown produce has been a popular attraction for the depot museum. In an effort to ensure high-quality items are sold at the market, the committee implemented a new application process. Vendors must apply for approval

The arts will continue to live on their own in Mississippi.

Two bills that would have dissolved the Mississippi Arts Commission died in the state capitol on Tuesday. Both bills wanted to move MAC into the hands of the Mississippi Development Authority, an agency that oversees job creation and promotes state tourism.

“I’m thankful the bills died,” said Corinth native Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn) “It would have been a bad idea to give MAC to

People of the Crossroads Jackie Atkins, Corinth

throughout the process.”

The Senate Education and House Appropriations committees both advanced placeholder or “dummy” bills on Tuesday with this purpose in mind, but critics assailed the “dummy” bills, saying the state is ill-served by secrecy and limited debate on a decision that could affect Mississippi children for decades.

“There is a huge effort in the process to at least level fund or raise the amount that school districts receive,” said Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter.

Jackie Atkins of Corinth said he meets a new friend every day in his job at JR’s Wine and Spirits. Atkins has worked for the store about a year. When asked about his favorite part of the job, he said, “I love the people. It’s like meeting a new friend every day.” Prior to working at JR’s, he was the manager at the local Taco Bell for seven years. His most proud achievement is the fact that he was the original “Water Man.” He started the business and had it for 11 years, he said. For relaxation, Atkins said, his favorite thing to do is get a boat and go down to the river with his friends.

Atkins is the father of two grown children.

House debates internet sales tax for roads

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi’s House voted on Wednesday to enforce taxation on internet sales and earmark the money for road and bridge work.

By a 79-38 vote, representatives passed House Bill 480, codifying efforts to collect taxes from Amazon.com and others that sell goods to Mississippians from outside the state.

The bill earmarks the revenue for road and bridge work, with 70 percent going to the state, 15 percent going to counties and 15 percent going to cities.

The measure moves to the

Senate for more debate, where prospects are unclear. Laura Hipp, a spokeswoman for Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, said that until Congress acts to allow states to tax internet sales, any state action is a “precursor to litigation.”

Researchers for the College Board estimated in January that Mississippi was losing between $106 million and $123 million in sales tax revenue.

Transportation officials say they need at least $500 million to prevent roads from deteriorating. But many lawmakers refuse to raise fuel taxes, leaving road advocates searching for other revenue.

MARKET

Rep. Trey Lamar, R-Senatobia, emphasized that under current state law, consumers already are supposed to pay use taxes. However, officials have said enforcement on individual consumers is nearly impossible.

“It’s not a new tax. It’s not a new tax. It’s not a new tax,” Lamar said.

Under the latest bill, retailers would be responsible for collecting the online sales taxes.

Even without the law in place, Mississippi’s Department of Revenue has proposed rules to collect the taxes, and Amazon.com voluntarily agreed earlier to start collecting taxes

Wednesday.

Opponents of the bill asked House Speaker Philip Gunn, RClinton, to label it as a new tax, meaning passage would require a 60 percent supermajority vote. Gunn declined.

“The people of Mississippi did not send a Republican supermajority to the Capitol to raise their taxes,” said Rep. Joel Bomgar, D-Madison. “If you take action that results in everybody paying more taxes, it’s a tax increase.”

Rep. Dana Criswell, R-Olive Branch, warned Republicans that supporters could face primary challenges in 2019.

“I was elected as a conservative to come here and reduce the size of government, to stop the government from reaching into your pockets and taking more and more money,” Criswell said.

Supporters, though, urged Republicans to disregard antitax purity.

“Those of you that have got to be consistent, who can’t practice a little hypocrisy, vote ‘no,’” said Rep. Steve Holland, D-Plantersville. “Those of you who are day-to-day hypocrites wearing the cloak of conservatism, vote ‘yes.’ We need the cash.”

MDA. In my opinion, it would have hurt the arts in this state.”

Both Bain and Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo) were against any bill that wished to dissolve MAC. The change was pushed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. If MAC had became part of MDA, the governor would have gotten full control of the arts agency’s funding.

Tuesday was the deadline for House and Senate committees to consider general bills

filed in each chamber.

Senate Bill 2611 failed when it wasn’t debated in the Senate Appropriations Committee.

House Bill 1325 passed one committee but died when it wasn’t debated in House Appropriations.

It’s unclear whether other bills could be rewritten later to dissolve the commission.

Wilson named circuit judge in 5 counties JACKSON — A DeSoto County Court judge is being promoted to a circuit judgeship for five counties in northern Mississippi.

Gov. Phil Bryant announced Wednesday that he has appointed Celeste Wilson of Southaven to the bench in Desoto, Panola, Tallahatchie, Tate, and Yalobusha counties. She begins next Monday.

A special election to fill the rest of the circuit judge’s term will be held in November.

Wilson fills a vacancy created when a longtime circuit judge, Bobby Chamberlin, was elected to the state Supreme Court. He was sworn in last month.

Wilson has been a county court judge since 2009.

She was an assistant district attorney from 2002 to 2008 in the counties where she will become circuit judge. She earned her law degree from the University of Memphis.

House passes bill to help infrastructure

FLAG CONTINUED FROM 1

Christian flags along the roadway in front of the memorial during the rally.

Last week Rienzi Mayor Walter Williams took down the Christian flag after receiving a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Wisconsin-based watchdog group. The letter stated the town was “practicing illegal religious promotion” and the display did not show proper “separation between state and church.” The letter also threatened Rienzi with a lawsuit if the flag was not removed from the city property.

The flag, conceived in 1897 in

New York, is a representation of all Christianity. The flag has a white field, with a red Latin cross inside a blue canton. The shade of red on the cross symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ. The blue represents the waters of baptism as well as the faithfulness of Jesus and the white represents Jesus’ purity.

The Christian flag has been flying alongside an American flag and a military flag at the veterans memorial next to town hall since it opened in August 2016.

Williams, who took the flag down to escape possible litigation against the town of around 350 people, said he welcomed the rally group.

“I’ve received phone calls from around the country. People and groups who support the flag and it’s place at the veterans memorial,” he said. “I’m very pleased that local people want to rally and stand beside it, as well.”

Williams said he will be at the rally on Saturday.

“I’ll be waving my Christian flag ... and hopefully those Wisconsin people will see and hear about what we’re doing down here in Mississippi,” added the mayor.

tricts would have to raise property taxes or cut spending.

That would mean the other recommendations from consultant EdBuild could cost the state a lot more, because a new formula wouldn’t get the benefit of $120 million worth of increased local money that EdBuild seeks.

Estimates by The Associated Press show it would cost the state roughly $145 million more than it

spends now if lawmakers adopt the other recommendations without requiring more local tax money.

That’s within about $25 million of the full amount demanded by law under the current formula, MAEP, which lawmakers have only completely funded twice in 20 years.

It’s also about $75 million more than EdBuild’s plan that included more local tax money, according to the AP.

JACKSON — The Mississippi House is advancing a bill that would spend an additional $20 million a year in state money for infrastructure improvements in central parts of Jackson.

The House voted 99-22 Wednesday for House Bill 1226 to create a Capitol Complex Improvement District. The measure moves to the Senate for more debate. Senators are considering a different proposal, Senate Bill 2893 .

A five-member board, not the city, would decide how to spend the money under the House bill. The board would get a penny of sales tax collected in Jackson that currently goes to the state. The city’s current revenue wouldn’t be affected.

The proposed district includes the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson State University, other state buildings and a broad area of central Jackson.

Bill would let brewers sell product on site JACKSON — Small Mississippi breweries could sell beer to customers on site under a measure moving forward in the Legislature.

House members voted 93-23 Wednesday to pass House Bill 1322, sending it to the Senate for more debate.

The measure would let a brewery sell the equivalent of two cases of 12 ounce bottles to a customer in a 24-hour period. Breweries can now give away up to 36 ounces in samples to a customer.

Supporters of the bill say it will help breweries expand their business. Beer wholesalers, who by law control distribution to stores, had opposed a similar measure last year. Rep. Hank Zuber, an Ocean Springs Republican, says wholesalers and breweries worked out an agreement last year.

Port boss confident of meeting jobs rules GULFPORT — The director of Mississippi’s port authority says the port of Gulfport has created 425 of the 1,300 new jobs required in exchange for $570 million in federal assistance granted after Hurricane Katrina.

Jonathan Daniels discussed the progress Tuesday at a Gulfport Chamber of Commerce meeting. The Sun Herald reports that the federal money has been used since 2008 to restore and expand the port’s West Pier.

The project, previously scheduled to be finished in the first quarter of 2017, is one year behind schedule.

Daniels, who came aboard as director three years ago, after the project was well underway, told the Sun Herald construction delays are to be expected at the century-old port.

The port’s mainstay tenants, he said, have been accommodating about continuing operations during construction.

Booneville Investigator honored as officer of the year BOONEVILLE — Prentiss County Narcotics Investigator Grady Smith was presented the Crime Stoppers Officer of the Year Award during the annual Crime Stoppers Appreciation and Awards Luncheon held Wednesday, Jan. 25, at the Summit Convention Center in Tupelo.

As a patrol deputy, Smith was involved in some of the largest drug busts in Prentiss County’s history. Smith was the first man through the door during the execution of a search warrant that culminated a year long investigation into a multistate marijuana trafficking ring headed up by Narcotics Investigator Joey Clark and North Mississippi Narcotics Unit.

The search netted over 400 pounds of marijuana, over a half million dollars in currency, other assets and five arrests.

As a patrol deputy Smith also was responsible for the largest single crystal methamphetamine seizure by locating a pound of crystal

meth hidden in a barbecue grill and seizing $4,700 cash during the execution of a search warrant.

During his service as a patrol deputy he regularly maintained the highest number felony drug arrests and was recognized for his keen ability to spot street level narcotics violations that very often led to bigger offenders.

Once assigned to work narcotics and teaming up with his partner, Agent Joey Clark, they have made great strides in fighting the drug problem in Prentiss County, dramatically increasing the number of felony drug indictments, said Sheriff Randy Tolar.

“Smith is a very diverse investigator that is very capable of successfully and efficiently working any criminal case that comes his way,” Tolar said.

Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann was the keynote speaker at the 2017 Crime Stoppers Appreciation and Awards Luncheon.

The luncheon honors law enforcement, the community, and the news media that serve the Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi area.

Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi serves 10 counties — Alcorn, Benton, Chickasaw, Lee, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Union, Tishomingo, Tippah and Itawamba.

Selmer Two held for burglary in McNairy County SELMER — According to the Independent Appeal, the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department has arrested two local 18-year-old men on charges of burglary of a residence.

The arrest, made on Wednesday, Jan. 18, led to 14 other charges of burglary.

The charges span for counties in two states.

Brian Oneal West, 18, of Chewalla, Tenn. and Adrian Adam Conder were arrested without incident after being caught in the act by a resident’s trail camera.

The suspects are currently being held in the McNairy County Detention Center on $150,000 bond.

Tippah Church hosts classes for drug problems TIPPAH — A Crossroads area church that is hoping to stem the ever growing problem of drug addiction in the Crossroads will begin classes on Wednesday, Feb. 15.

County Line Baptist Church is working with Living Free Ministries to minister weekly in classes to those with drug addictions.

The evening will begin with a weekly meal at 5:30 p.m. and everyone is invited to come eat with the church family. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.

County Line will have childcare for bed babies and other small children.

Pastor David Shepherd is encouraged by the enthusiasm shown for the classes that will begin at his church.

County Line is located on the border between Alcorn and Tippah counties.

“We are looking forward to getting this program started in our church,” said Shepherd.

“Our church has 100 percent agreement that this will be beneficial to our church and our community.”

founder Tommy Wilson has already experienced success with a similar program at East Booneville Baptist Church. Wilson spent a year installing the program at the church and the church has taken over to ensure the program will be successful.

“County Line has already shown they are going to work hard to reach the people in their community who needs some help with addiction problems,” said Wilson.

Shepherd said he has been well pleased with the eagerness of his congregation to build a foundation for the ministry. The pastor hopes the ministry will be an outreach to both counties.

“We had people volunteering to cook, clean, mop or whatever it took to make this work at our church,” said Shepherd.

Wilson is encouraged that by helping people through their area church will benefit everyone.

“There are stats that show 90 percent of our crime is a direct result of our drug problems,” said Wilson.

“Our goal at Living Free is to get more churches involved in helping people around them.”

Shepherd is in his second stint at County Line Baptist after spending 17 years there in his first tenure. He returned one year ago after being gone 23 years with the hope to rebuild attendance at the church.

“It is just astounding to me that we have the marijuana and meth problem in our area,” said Shepherd. “The people here have to drive 20 miles for any type of 12-step therapy program and that is a big reason we are doing something here to help those with addictions.”

Corinth, Miss.

Dolly really should visit

She rests in a gold and black frame on the kitchen counter, waiting for me to decide where to hang her. That enigmatic smile is on her lovely face, dark eyes follow me about the room, and she’s showing more Rheta cleavage than the Paris verJohnson sion.

I bought the “Dolly Lisa,” a Columnist John McKellar painting that puts Dolly Parton in the Mona Lisa pose, at a Bay St. Louis gallery. I couldn’t help myself.

The beautiful little Mississippi meloncolored town has more festivals than South Georgia has gnats. A recent one was called “Dolly Should,” a play on “Dollywood” and an open invitation for the country singing star to visit.

Dozens of townspeople -- men, women and children -- dressed up like Dolly, or an exaggerated version of Dolly, which is a hard thing to exaggerate, and local businesses went with the theme. It was the Second Annual Dolly Should, and I imagine not the last.

The town also has a Frida Kahlo celebration, another figure easy to spoof. Eyebrows are the emphasis.

I walked along the sidewalks just after dark, admiring the store windows and listening to “Jolene” blaring from a speaker somewhere.

A Dolly on a lighted bicycle wheeled by. Another spilling out of her red sequins bumped into me and never felt it.

The official competition was on the front porch of a local watering hole, and one by one the Dollys said hello and strutted their stuff against the loud cheers of an admiring crowd.

Maybe the president has brought back big hair, but Dolly wore it first. And best.

I didn’t stay to see which Dolly won, but I hope the winner could sing and write. Dolly Parton’s true talent often is lost in the shadow of her curls and cup size.

I’m paraphrasing here, but someone once asked Dolly how she felt when she first arrived in Nashville and everyone thought of her as a dumb blonde. “I knew I wasn’t dumb,” she said. “And I d*** sure knew I wasn’t blonde.”

I kept looking for a contestant to wear a coat of many colors, but I didn’t see one. If you can listen to Dolly’s “Coat of Many Colors” song and not cry, I don’t want to hang out with you.

Her “Hard Candy Christmas” is another 3 minutes and 48 seconds that will break your heart. The only other holiday song that comes close is John Denver singing “Please, Daddy, Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas.”

The gallery where I found McKellar’s painting is in a small, unpainted house with imagination as chinks to fill the cracks. Coats of many colors were on the wall, plus many artist interpretations of the iconic Dolly.

I had not intended to buy another painting, but “Dolly Lisa” was too big a temptation to resist. It was a little like hearing the Cajun French interpretations of Hank’s songs and other standards. For this Francophile, traditional country with a French spin is catnip.

I guess the Bay’s proximity to New Orleans helps explain the uninhibited and artistic spirit that rules. It’s hard not to be envious -- of talent, organized fun and unquenchable creativity. Other small towns could do worse than imitate Bay St. Louis.

My “Dolly Lisa” looks like she knows the secret to such civic frivolity, but, then, she’s not talking.

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 Almighty God, I thank thee for the courage that comes with a great life. Help me to be brave, even if it is only that others may be blest. May I lay a careful foundation and plan to build the best that I can afford. Amen.

A verse to share Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.

Charter schools not a cure for education OXFORD — A charter school can be a model of excellence in all aspects.

Many are. Similarly, a traditional public school can be a model of excellence in all aspects. Many are.

Mississippi lawmakers are increasing their pace to contract out more of what for generations has been seen as a public obligation.

Charter schools are touted as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. They’re not. The missing ingredient in K-12 education is motivation. That’s a much more complex topic.

Yet instead of addressing the stresses communities face, what’s driving the conversation in Jackson is simply an unspoken desire to get education off lawmakers’ plates.

We’ve seen this before and in several contexts.

Faced with the ever-growing cost of building and operating prisons, states, including Mississippi, moved toward “privatizing” the industry of incarceration.

In turn, prison corporations became some of America’s most profitable.

Faced with more regulations on waste disposal and higher costs, many cities and counties moved toward “privatizing” garbage and landfill operations. Browning-Ferris (BFI) and Waste Management (WMI) trucks

and crews now ply the streets.

A public liability became a private asset.

M a n y Charlie p u b l i c Mitchell school districts alColumnist ready hire companies to provide janitorial services, operate kitchens and provide fleets of yellow buses and drivers. The next step isn’t a giant step, just hire a company to provide a building, teachers and administrators.

The sales pitch is always the same: Write us one check, and we’ll take care of everything.

Often, this approach works well. No savings to taxpayers materialize. Costs escalate as they would regardless. But a worry is taken off the minds of officials.

If a constituent complains about school food, the superintendent can promise to speak to the vendor. It’s no longer the superintendent’s responsibility.

Charter school advocates have co-opted popular images to appeal to skeptics.

“There’s poor little Timmy sitting in a corner. He’s from a low-income family and is trapped in a lowperforming public school.

Is this fair? Rich people

already have choices. Why shouldn’t little Timmy?”

Charter school skeptics find a use for little Timmy, too. One argument is that there are abundant numbers like him, and there’s no way to avoid some of them being left behind.

Another argument is that charter school legislation is merely a mechanism to funnel public money to private schools created decades ago as “segregation academies.”

Charter school advocates also sing the merits of competition, of hiring providers motivated by profits to earn enrollment through performance. That’s better, they believe, than flaccid old public schools where the faculty just sit and wait for the next state check to show up. That’s a possible scenario, but it’s certainly not typical. Most public schools are staffed by professionals doing the best they can with what they have.

Whether charter schools are private schools or privately operated public schools is also a focus of some chatter. There are all sorts of tax implications and incentives riding on the designation. Suffice it to say that Forbes magazine reports that 80 percent of Michigan’s charter schools are officially for-profit.

Too, the National Labor Relations Board found that

some New York charter schools are properly classified as businesses.

Perhaps it oversimplifies to say that charter school proponents in the Legislature merely want the topic of K-12 education shifted away from them, but “education” is commonly seen as a problem, not a challenge. Constituents call and write with all kinds of beefs, gripes, pleas and contentions. Too, lawmakers have progressively become more and more involved in operational details. When and whether to have PE classes, even starting dates for academic terms are now debated in the Capitol.

With President Trump’s blanket endorsement, there’s little doubt Mississippi will expand charter schools. The deal, though, is that it’s complete folly to think handing K-12 education off to the world of commerce fixes everything.

The reality is that where policy and legislation can make a greater difference is by building confidence in young people and families that there is a future in which being educated matters. Charter schools may be part of that, but they are not the do-all to end-all.

Immigration order is not un-American The surefire way to bring the word “un-American” into vogue is to propose a restriction on immigration, no matter how minor.

Democrats, who have spent the past half-century since Joe McCarthy objecting to the suggestion that anyone in this country might not be patriotic, can barely mention President Donald Trump’s immigration order without calling it un-American. Judging by their performance over the past few days, if Democrats ever take back control of Congress, their first act will be to reinstitute the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate proponents of reduced immigration and their associates. (”Are you now or have you ever been an immigration restrictionist?”)

Trump’s immigration order is vulnerable to any number of legitimate criticisms, on its merits and particularly on its shambolic rollout. But it is not true that a monthslong pause in immigration from seven Muslim-majorities countries, some of which lack functioning governments, and all of which are either war-torn or hostile to

the United States, is a violation of the nation’s creed.

Nowhere is it writRich ten that Lowry the United States can National never tap Review the brakes on immigration. For much of the political class and for an inflamed left, any new restriction is tantamount to melting down the Statue of Liberty, an ahistorical attitude that desperately needs a corrective. President Trump, in blunderbuss fashion, is setting out to provide one.

Everyone knows that we are a “nation of immigrants,” although immigration has been highly contested throughout our history. “America,” the late political scientist Samuel Huntington wrote, “has been a nation of restricted and interrupted immigration as much as it has been a nation of immigration.”

Levels of immigration spiked in the 1880s, dropped in the 1890s and reached new highs before World War I. They de-

clined precipitously during the war and bounced back afterward. Then the 1924 immigration law brought a new phase of lower immigration that didn’t end until the late 1960s. In 1965, fewer than 300,000 immigrants were admitted to the U.S. We have been at elevated levels for decades since then and now admit about 1 million a year. The proportion of the foreignborn population is set to hit a record in 2025.

This means there is a lot of room to reduce immigration without shutting our doors entirely. A cut in half in legal immigration to the levels of the early 1980s would still mean roughly 500,000 new immigrants a year, a high absolute number compared with almost every other country in the world. Of course, the Trump policy that has caused such a reaction is not close to change of this scale.

Trump also has temporarily suspended the U.S. refugee program and capped it at 50,000 refugees. This is in the same ballpark as the figure for admittances from the past five years or so, when the number of refugees was typically between

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

50,000 and 70,000 a year.

If we are using an overall level of refugees to judge our American-ness, 1976, 1977, 1978, 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2007 must have been woefully un-American years, because the number of refugees was less than 50,000 in each of them.

All of this said, the critics are right to sense something different in President Trump. He is going to put much more emphasis on the integrity of our borders and less on humanitarian considerations than his predecessors. This is a direct challenge to the lazy cosmopolitanism that assumes the only correct answer in immigration policy is always “more” and never “less.”

The rocky rollout of the Trump policy means that the administration is expending political capital on its executive order that would best be preserved for more important immigration-related causes, like getting Congress to pass a mandatory e-verify system to stop employers from hiring illegal labor and to emphasize skills in the legal immigration system -- you know, other alleged betrayals of America.

Amid Trump’s shake-up, many wonder what’s next Associated Press

Donald Trump’s determination to recast the role of government has a whi of Reaganism, and his plays on divisions are reminiscent of Richard Nixon, a historian says.

But many Americans have a simpler assessment of the opening days of the new administration’s governing-by-upheaval: It’s unsettling, even to some who voted for the shakeup that Trump promised. “We’re in a very fragile state right now,� said Margaret Johnson of Germantown, Maryland, who runs a small translation business. “We don’t know what’s coming next. The country’s divided. There’s a lot of fear. And I think we’re kind of at that point where things can go any kind of way, and it’s really hard to say which way they’re going to go.�

That uncertainty finds an echo in Pastor Mike Bergman’s church in Adrian, Missouri, 40 miles south of Kansas City, where many congregants count themselves as conservatives and embrace

the new administration’s order cutting o funding to international groups that provide abortions.

But as church members consider another order — restricting refugees — worries about security are tempered by concern about the needs of refugees and whether Trump’s rhetoric is widening the gulf between Americans, Bergman said. “There is worry about some of the political rhetoric ... about how all that is going to cause the divide in the community to deepen and more bitterness to spring up between the people of our country.

I wouldn’t say we’re really optimistic right now,� he said.

Trump is hardly the first president to take office promising wholesale change in the face of substantial skepticism. But Kevin Boyle, a professor of American history at Northwestern University who compared Trump to Reagan and Nixon, said the clashes set o by the administration are unique.

GOP pushes 2 top Cabinet picks to full Senate Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans jammed two of President Donald Trump’s top Cabinet picks through the Senate Finance Committee with no Democrats in the room Wednesday after suspending a rule that would have otherwise barred them from taking the vote. The tactic seemed a warning shot that they might deploy brute political muscle in the upcoming fight over the Supreme Court vacancy.

With a near-toxic vapor of divisiveness between the two par-

ties across Capitol Hill, nasty showdowns broke out elsewhere as well.

One Senate panel signed o on Trump’s choice for attorney general only after senators exchanged heated words, and another committee postponed a vote on the would-be chief of the Environmental Protection Agency after Democrats refused to show up.

Busting through a Democratic boycott of the Finance panel, all 14 Republicans took advantage of Democrats’ absence to temporarily disable a committee

rule requiring at least one Democrat to be present for votes.

They then used two 14-0 roll calls to approve financier Steve Mnuchin for Treasury secretary and Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., to be health secretary, ignoring Democrats’ demands that the two nominees provide more information about their financial backgrounds.

All the nominations will need full Senate approval.

Underscoring Congress’ foul mood, Finance panel Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Democrats should be “ashamed� for staying away from his committee’s meeting. “I don’t feel a bit sorry for them,� he told reporters, adding later, “I don’t care what they want at this point.�

Trump won one major victory, as the Senate confirmed Rex Tillerson to be secretary of state.

READ ANY GOOD BOOKS LATELY? In Deuteronomy 8:3 God reminded Moses and the children of Israel of the manna provided in the wilderness, along with the attendant lesson that “man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that procedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.�

At this time of year we generally reect on the past year and plan for the next. Our spiritual lives should be ďŹ rst in those plans. Maybe we need to make a greater commitment in our attendance, increase time spent in prayer, or be better stewards of our time and treasure.

Inasmuch as the Bible is God’s revelation to us and “thoroughly furnishes us to every good work,â€? and in it we ďŹ nd “all things that pertain to life and godlinessâ€?, we ought to commit ourselves to daily reading and meditation of the same.

Since it is still very early in the year and you would like to commit to a regular reading of the Bible, we offer a few suggestions that might help you stay on track. There are numerous plans available that will take you through the Bible in one year. I’m quite sure one could “Google� a plan or schedule that would be easy to follow. There are also cards available that are easy to read, and may double as a book marker. It takes only a few minutes each day to listen to what God is saying to us in his word and meditate on it. Consider taking advantage of this opportunity to increase your knowledge and gain spiritual strength. If you are already reading and studying daily, by all means continue with what you are doing. If you would like us to provide you with a reading schedule, please notify us at the address below, and we will send you one without obligation or expense to you. Just drop us a note.

Here are a few suggestions that might help you as you read. _Use an accurate, reliable, readable translation that has print that is easy on your eyes. _ Set aside a time each day to read. (Early morning or before turning in at night) _ Find a quiet, comfortable, well lit place to read.

--Turn off the TV, computer, cell phone or other distractions that might hinder your thinking. _ Use the “Buddy system� to encourage and remind one another. (Spouse or Sibling)

Teen twins are ready to take different paths in new school Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: I am a 14-yearold identical twin. My sister and I are sick of the whole “twin” thing and want to go to separate schools. We really want to be our own

people.

We have wanted this for a long time now.

However, I’m not sure we can because, where I live, you have to go to the school in the town you live in.

Do you have any suggestions on things we can do to make new, different friends, and how we can look different from each other?

We are moving this year, so next fall we will be in a new school. -- THE TWIN THING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR TWIN THING: You and your sister are smart girls. What you want to do will be healthy for both of you, and I congratulate you for wanting to do it. It’s important that each of you develop as individuals, and the move will give the perfect opportunity to start.

If you have been dressing alike, make a point of not doing

it from now on. If you have been wearing your hair in the same style, change that too. When you enroll in the new school, join separate clubs, go out for different sports, etc. If you do, people will no longer perceive you as molded from the same cookie cutter. Good luck.

DEAR ABBY: As a baby shower gift for my (soon-to-be) grandson, I plan on opening up a UTMA (Uniform Transfers to Minors) account for his college education with a $5,000 initial deposit. My idea is to add $1,000 every year on his birthday for the first five years.

Would it be tacky to challenge, or encourage, his other three grandparents to contribute to the account by matching their contributions every year up to my $1,000? Or would it be better to just tell them my plans and let them know they can also make deposits to the account? I don’t know the financial situations of the others, and I don’t want to offend anyone. Your thoughts?

-- ABOUT TO BE A GRANDPA IN ARIZONA DEAR GRANDPA: I’m voting for your second idea, for the reason you gave. While the concept of an education fund for your grandbaby is laudable, making it a “challenge” might create financial stress for the other grandparents and be per-

ceived as one-upmanship if they are unable to donate as much to the fund as you do.

DEAR ABBY: An older friend and I have exchanged emails since last spring. Hers have been mostly political and disparaging toward minorities. I asked her to please not send this stuff since we have opposite opinions on the subject, and I don’t plan to change my mind. I enjoy our in-person talks because they are nothing like the emails she sends, which are “forwards” somebody else has put together.

I quit reading them, but is there a way to politely stop her from disseminating nasty propaganda? I have tried fact-checking and sending corrections to her and to those on the long list of people she has sent these emails. It doesn’t work. -- FACT CHECKER DEAR FACT CHECKER: Because someone sends you emails does not mean you must read them all. Filter your email so that the political rants go into a special folder, then delete them en masse.

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).

Trying to do everything possible will only deplete you. Hit the top priority. Make a trade-off, then make another. If you only get one thing done, but it’s your primary source of satisfaction, you’ve won.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re not the same as you were yesterday. What’s different about you? This doesn’t have an easy answer, and that’s what’s so compelling about it. The mystery of you is ever-unfolding.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Teenage life is typically wrought with drama, as the skills of emotional coping are in early development. Most outgrow the allure of perpetual drama, opting to apply energy to more necessary adult pursuits. Most. Not all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Time proves that even the greatest innovations, inventions and solutions are but temporary answers. There’s not one right explanation or one correct method that will hold forever. The best answers beg more questions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Would you believe there are people who are daunted by pressures of “having fun,” unsure exactly how (or even why) such a thing should be accomplished? These people need you! Go help!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

As sure as rain makes you wet and food makes you full, perfection makes you miserable. Don’t strive for superior results today.

Don’t strive, period. Put your head down, work humbly, and happiness will creep up on you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Since you’re confident in your ability and secure in your knowledge, you’re not overly concerned about appearing smart or correct or cool. Your nonchalance only makes you smarter, more correct and way cooler.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Some people ask questions to make a point -- a move that says, “I’m so right I can even manipulate you to say I’m right.”

Be wary of these people, and don’t use the tactic yourself. Ask questions out of curiosity, not ar-

rogance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Conflict is more interesting than peace, but most people who are living purposefully find that it’s not worth the energy it takes to witness or take part in it. You’re right to be protective of your precious energy reserves.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A little mystery doesn’t scare you off. You’re not like the ones who need all to be certain.

You realize that it will never be.

The constant is change. The essence of life is surprise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Options may be added and taken away. But the ability to make a choice will always be yours.

When you start feeling closed in by the circumstances, just remember that you can choose.

You’re in control.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Questions and answers do not a conversation make. Connections are forged with twists, surprises, a sense of play and true and honest sharing. You can achieve it by listening better.

OXFORD — Mississippi’s signing day was downright dull compared to recent years, and recruiting wasn’t much fun for coach Hugh Freeze leading up to Wednesday.

The Rebels managed to grab a couple highly regarded recruits, including in-state defensive back D.D. Bowie, but the program figures to finish in the 30s nationally and in the bottom half of the SEC according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

That’s a big difference from recent years under Freeze, when Ole Miss was often among the nation’s elite in recruiting.

But the Rebels are in the midst of a long-running NCAA investigation — including possible recruiting

violations — that have hampered the school’s recruiting efforts. Ole Miss already self-imposed a penalty of three scholarships for this year, which is part of the reason this year’s class only has 21 signees.

Freeze admitted that recruiting was difficult at times.

“It was ugly,” he said. “I didn’t enjoy it. You take great pride in how you do things. That’s not to say we’ve been perfect, but I know the value I place on this job.”

Still, the Rebels filled some important needs, particularly at linebacker. Ole Miss was among the worst teams in the SEC on defense last season.

Mississippi State picks up hometown talent on signing day The Associated Press

Mississippi State stayed close to home to pick up one of its most important signees — linebacker Willie Gay. The 6-foot-1, 223-pounder is from Starkville High School, which is only a couple miles from Mississippi State’s campus. He signed with the Bulldogs on Wednesday and should help solidify a defense that already has young stars in defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and linebacker Leo Lewis.

“Guys coming in today I couldn’t be happier about,” Mississippi State coach Dan

Mullen said. “To have Willie Gay and (Columbus, Mississippi, running back) Kylin Hill stay at home is great.

They want to make their hometown proud and you could see how excited everyone was at their high school today when they announced.”

Mullen signed a class that includes nine players from junior colleges and all of them have already enrolled.

The class was ranked No. 24 in the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Other things to know Top 25 Class — Yes

Best in class — Gay, LB, Starkville. The Bulldogs really wanted to land the hometown four-star prospect and got it done on Wednesday. He’s rated as the No. 3 outside linebacker prospect according to the 247Sports Composite.

Best of the rest — Hill, QB Keytaon Thompson. The Bulldogs hope they landed some of their playmakers of the future in the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Hill and 6-foot-4, 220-pound Thompson.

Late addition — Gay. Mississippi State had to fight off several other schools to land the linebacker, including

LSU and Ole Miss. DL Aaron Odom, who is from Jackson, Mississippi, was also coveted by several other schools, including Louisville.

One that got away — DL Tae-kion Reed. Mississippi State lost the defensive player to in-state rival Ole Miss.

How they’ll fit in — The Bulldogs signed nine junior college players who have enrolled early and many of them could come in and contribute quickly. Others like Hill and Thompson have the luxury of learning from experienced starters if they’re not ready from day one.

National Signing Day

Several SEC teams have big talent finds The Associated Press

OXFORD — The Southeastern Conference — at least compared to its recent history — struggled some on the football field this season.

But many of the league’s 14 teams were among the best in the country on national signing day, with six of the nation’s top 12 classes coming from the SEC, according to the 247Sports composite rankings posted on Wednesday night.

Alabama finished at No. 1 in the recruiting rankings for the seventh straight season, pulling in six five-star recruits and an impressive 18 fourstar recruits. Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M couldn’t quite match the Crimson Tide, but weren’t far behind.

Alabama coach Nick Saban isn’t concerned about where his class or particular players are slotted in the national rankings.

“I don’t know anything about that,” Saban said.

“We kind of evaluate the players like we’re going to draft them and take the guys that meet the criteria, the critical factors that we want at positions.”

Alabama’s six five-star players included prized running back Najee Harris, who Saban called “very complete.”

It’s probably not surprising that second-year Georgia coach Kirby Smart pulled in a big class.

After all, he learned under Saban for several years while he was the Crimson

Tide’s defensive coordinator.

Some of the Bulldogs’ top recruits include safety Richard LeCounte III, who is an early enrollee, and offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson.

“We think we attacked a lot of areas of concern for us,” Smart said. “I think it’s a good group.”

Highlights from around the SEC ORGERON DOING WORK — It didn’t take long for new LSU coach Ed Orgeron to make his recruiting presence felt.

The veteran coach has been regarded as an excellent recruiter everywhere he’s been, from his time as an assistant coach at Southern Cal to his days as a head coach at Mississippi. His first LSU class was among the best in the SEC and includes highly regarded prospects like safety JaCoby Stevens, offensive lineman Austin Deculus and defensive end K’Lavon Chaisson. “We feel like we have an excellent start, an excellent foundation with this recruiting class,” the coach said.

ROUGH, TOUGH SEC — Even a really good recruiting class can sometimes be nothing special in the SEC. Tennessee, for instance, has the nation’s 17th ranked class, but that’s good for just seventh in the SEC. South Carolina is 21th in the country, but comes in at eighth in the league.

that’s a place we needed to improve,” Freeze said.

Other things to know Top 25 Class — No Best in class — Bowie, DB, Morton. The 6-foot-1 speedster could help the Rebels quickly in the secondary.

Best of the rest — DL Markel Winters, LB Mohamed Sanogo. Winters is an early enrollee while Sanogo signed on Wednesday. Both players have a chance to contribute early for an Ole Miss defense that struggled last season.

Late addition — WR

Braylon Sanders. The Rebels pulled the 6-foot, 172-pound receiver out of Hogansville, Georgia, to add to an already deep position.

One that got away — RB Cordarrian Richardson. The Rebels hoped to land the four-star player out of Memphis, but he chose Maryland instead.

How they’ll fit in — The Rebels are already pretty good on the offensive of the ball thanks to the return of young potential stars like QB Shea Patterson and OT Greg Little. But several of the defensive players — especially the linebackers — could see some early playing time.

Bryant finally makes it to Super Bowl The Associated Press

HOUSTON — When Matt Bryant trots on the field to attempt a field goal, often with the game on the line, he wants his mind to be filled with nothing but positive vibes.

Sometimes, he’ll imagine he’s sitting on the floor, playing with his seven children.

“When you’re with your kids, there are no negative thoughts,” Bryant said with a wistful look. “It kind of takes the edge off the moment.”

That might come in handy Sunday, when he’ll be kicking in the biggest game of his life.

At 41, Bryant finally made it to the Super Bowl with the Atlanta Falcons.

“It’s taken a little while,” he said, grinning. “But better late than never.”

Certainly, no one in the big game is more mindful of his good fortune than Bryant, who endured a long and trying journey filled with professional setbacks and personal tragedy to become one of the oldest players in Super Bowl history.

He didn’t even get a chance to kick in the pros until he was 27, so he worked at a pawn shop and as a personal trainer to make ends meet. He’s been cut by five NFL teams, not to mention the Arena Football League’s Iowa Barnstormers. His resume in-

cludes two entities that no longer exist: NFL Europe and the United Football League.

As discouraging as all that was, it paled in comparison to what happened at home. In 2008, his 3-month-old son, Tryson, died of sudden infant death syndrome.

“You appreciate things more, especially your own children,” Bryant said Wednesday.

On the field, he’s the ultimate late bloomer.

Bryant was selected for his first Pro Bowl this season after leading the league in scoring with 158 points.

He connected on 34 of 37 field goals — six of them traveling at least 50 yards — and all but one of his 57 extra-point attempts.

“He deserves it. He has deserved it before,” Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said. “He’s one of the guys that we rely on in critical situations. If you can just get the ball to the number that he talks about at end-of-game situations, you just know that he’s going to put it through the pipes.”

Of course, Bryant wasn’t able to play in last weekend’s all-star game.

He’s got a far more important game in Houston.

“When we found out that he was going to be going to his first Pro Bowl, I called him and asked, ‘Matt, have you ever been to the Pro

Bowl?’” Falcons coach Dan Quinn recalled.

Bryant sounded underwhelmed.

“Do you want it?” Quinn asked, a bit incredulously.

“And he said, ‘Only if we’re not in the Super Bowl.’

So, way back even in December, I knew where his mindset was at.”

Rest assured, Bryant never takes anything for granted.

He’s got a firm grasp on the precariousness of a kicker’s life.

“In three seconds, you can go from living in the penthouse to the outhouse,” he said. “There’s nothing in the middle in my world.”

Bryant has come up with all sorts of mental tricks to keep himself focused. He walks around the sideline with a towel draped over his head, explaining that “it blocks out a lot of things that are around me.” In addition to his children, he often thinks of his late father when attempting a kick, remembering what a huge impact he had on his son’s life.

He’s “standing behind me, like during a baseball game when I was in high school,” Bryant said. “Instead of swinging the bat easy and hitting through the ball, he’s yelling at me to go for it, to hit it over the fence.”

For the most part, Quinn and the coaching staff leave

Bryant alone.

“He’s one of the more mentally tough competitors we have on our team,” Quinn said. “One of the things I admire most about him is he treats every kick the same. So, when you see Matt in practice, when you see him go through his routine, extra points, different spots along the field when we get into Wednesdays and Thursdays at practice, every kick’s the same, every routine’s the same.”

How strong is Bryant mentally?

One day after Tryson’s funeral , Bryant suited up for Tampa Bay and booted three field goals in a victory over Green Bay. “People ask me, ‘Did you ever think about not playing in that game?’” Bryant said. “But at the end of the day, I know I would’ve taught him to just do your best no matter what. That’s how I was able to go out there and glorify his name.”

If Sunday’s game comes down to his right foot, Bryant will be ready.

After all that he’s been through, it’s just another kick.

“It’s part of the job requirement,” he said nonchalantly. “If you really get caught up in the moment, maybe it could change something. I don’t want anything to change. I want to stay the same. Keep my head down and kick through the ball.”

Mickelson, Thomas, Hadwin set for Phoenix Open The Associated Press

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Phil Mickelson was a fraction of an inch away from shooting 59 in his 2013 Waste Management Phoenix Open victory. Playing partners Justin Thomas and Adam Hadwin are the latest members of the 59 club, and Thomas was plot-

ting some good-natured ribbing at Lefty’s expense.

“There will be some point where he will say something about how many majors he’s won and this and that, and I will just ask him how many times he shot 59 in a competitive round,” Thomas said Wednesday, the day before the start of

play at rowdy TPC Scottsdale.

“Then he will probably say something else about all the other majors he’s won and I won’t have anything to say. There are not many things I have on Phil, but that’s one of them. I will make sure to remind him.”

Mickelson will be quick to point out his three victories in the event.

“Yeah, they’ve both shot 59,” Mickelson said. “I’m envious of that. I really am.

But I have won this tournament three times and they haven’t. We both have something to be jealous about.”

Hostess needs to let her guests talk too WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My wife and I just visited good friends we’ve known for over 40 years.

The hostess talked from “good morning” to “good night.” What a performance!

At dinner, I was able to get a word in and remark that we had seen a moose on the road to their house.

As was typical for the hostess, she butted in before I was done talking, and in a minute or so, she was talking about what her aunt Sally Smith’s neighbor, Joan Nobody, had for dinner at her daughter’s birthday party. Why would any intelligent person have any interest in this? These are people we don’t know, and there was nothing special about the dinner. I would rather have kept talking about the moose.

I now never want to visit them again. My wife tells me I am a social misfit and am being unreasonable.

I feel our hostess is out of touch with polite behavior. Your thoughts? Please sign me — Tired of Boring, Never-Ending Chatter Dear Tired: The hostess is the real social misfit here, but everyone is too polite to let her know it. Do visit them again. But when this woman interrupts you, you must gently snag the conversational reins again. Let her speak for a minute before reminding

Dear Annie her that you were in the middle of speaking. Say something like, “You stopped the moose dead in his tracks.” A little humor will keep the tone friendly and spare the hostess some embarrassment.

Dear Annie: I’d like to add something to your response to “Tears and Fears for the Victims All Over,” who wondered how to help when witnessing violent or unpleasant situations.

I have been in such situations, too, and in a couple of instances, I have gone over and asked whether there was anything I could do to help. Obviously, one does not want to put oneself in harm’s way, but for events such as the ones “Tears and Fears” described, what I might suggest also, seeing as there were automobiles included in the scenarios, is for the people who see what is happening to take the license plate down or take a brief video of the incident using a cellphone. Getting the license plate would enable them to contact the police after the fact and possibly get some action taken in that way. I

was once being chased by someone on the freeway in the Los Angeles area. I took the license plate down and called the police when I got home. They told me that they would go out and talk to the person.

Sometimes there is more we can do than we realize in situations such as this. I once saw what appeared to be an assault going on in a car in the parking lot of a hospital, and I went over to try to intervene. It turned out that a young woman was having a grand mal seizure in the back seat, and her father was trying to restrain her so she would not hurt herself. I quickly ran to the hospital and got somebody to bring a gurney out so that the young woman could be taken immediately. Apparently, the mother had gone into the hospital earlier but was not forceful enough at the intake desk to tell the people that her daughter needed immediate help.

I said that someone was having a really bad seizure in the parking lot, and they acted immediately.

Thank you, concerned citizens, for the good work that you do to make the world a better place. — Good Samaritan Dear Good: Your story of the family in the hospital parking lot underscores how the kindness of strangers can make all the difference. Thank you.
