Intersections to get upgrades BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth is moving ahead with plans for improved traffic signalization at the busy intersection of Shiloh, Kendrick and Harper Roads. The Board of Mayor and

Basket fund donations pass $8,600 The spirit of giving this Christmas season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area. Donations continue to arrive for the 19th Annual Corinth Rotary Club / Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund. A $25,000 fund raising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 6. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached. So far, $8,657 has been raised, meaning $16,343 still needs to be raised to make the goal. Recent donations include $30 from John R. Davis Jr. and Chris & Austin Davis in memory of Clarence & Pearl Green Wroten and John R. Davis Sr.; $50 from Dora Jean Henson; $100 Please see BASKET | 6A

Closings set for holidays

Aldermen this week accepted the low quote of $29,573 from DeSoto County Electric of Horn Lake. A competing quote of $56,000 was submitted by Wade Electric. The city does not know exactly when the contractor will

install the new traffic signals, but Alderman Ben Albarracin hopes it gets priority. “The school hour is terrible for that intersection,” he said. The new signalization will bring protected left turns to all sides of the intersection, and

it will also include sensors in order to provide better traffic flow. With the hiking and biking trail passing through the busy junction, it will also get pedestrian controls. Please see UPGRADES | 3A

Local food ministry celebrates giving BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Thursday was a time of celebration at Tate Baptist Church. Those on hand for the Bread of Life Food Ministry’s Annual Christmas Message and Luncheon were there to praise God. “We had a great time,” said Bread of Life Food Ministry Director Tim Alvis. “People were able to come out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and celebrate the Lord.” Around 123 attended the message and luncheon. Those preparing and serving the meal were happy to be part of such an annual event. “It does your heart good to see the appreciation on the faces of those who receive a meal,” said chef Ben Betts, who has been involved with the ministry’s meal for the past five years. “Giving back is what we are called to do.” The meal consisted of turkey and dressing, green beans, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, roll, dessert and drink. “This is the right thing to do,” said Susan Beard of the meal. “The annual meal gets

With Christmas and New Year’s day falling on Thursdays, a hodgepodge of closings and garbage collection schedules are coming up in the next couple of weeks. The governor has made it optional whether agencies are taking off on Christmas eve or the day after Christmas as the bonus day off.

New church offers hope and outreach

City, county closings For Christmas, the City of Corinth’s administrative offices at City Hall will be closed on Thursday, Dec. 25, and Friday, Dec. 26. Earlier this week, the Board of Supervisors decided to adopt the same schedule, moving the bonus day off from Wednesday to Friday. However, the county will run a couple of garbage routes on Friday. Garbage schedules will differ for the two during the week of Christmas. Corinth will collect both the Monday and Tuesday routes on Monday, the Wednesday route on Tuesday, and the Thursday and Friday routes on Wednesday. For county garbage customers, the Monday route will not change; the Tuesday and Wednesday routes will be picked up on Tuesday; and the Thursday and Friday routes will be picked up on Friday. For the week of New Year’s, both the city and county are taking Thursday and Friday, Jan. 1 and 2, as holidays. Please see CLOSINGS | 6A

Grace Community Church will open its doors for the first time on Jan. 4 at the Alcorn Baptist Building. “I feel like we have been doing church too long,” said church planter Bro. Tim Alvis. “It’s time to be the church.” Alvis was approached by Alcorn County Baptist Association Director of Missions Dr. Kenny Digby about starting the new church. “For two years I tried to run from it,” said Alvis. “I kept telling myself this isn’t what the Lord wants me to do.” Alvis, licensed in the ministry since 2006, let God have his way in the matter and is excited about the opportunity ahead. “A lot of people don’t go to church because they don’t want to be judged on how they dress or look,” said Alvis. “Grace Community will be a come as

Effort will benefit animal shelter BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

When looking for a local charity to give back to this Christmas, Gooseberry Frozen Yogurt owner Rick Quinn turned to his general manager Nancy Essary, who knew the purrfect one. “The Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter is near and dear

to my heart ... my entire family, actually, has adopted, supported and loved the shelter for several years,” she said. “I saw this promotion as a way to hopefully help out the animals in need in Alcorn County.” Essary said she’ll give away a free coffee to everyone who donates to the shelter at

In other business, the board approved the purchase of two Chevrolet Tahoes at a cost of $57,944 for the police department. Chief Ralph Dance said the purchase will allow the department to retire a couple of worn out Ford Crown Victorias. “The repair cost is getting astronomical for these Crown Vics,” he said. “The Tahoes, we’ve had some of them for over two years now, and they’ve given us absolutely no problem.” The new vehicles will give the department the best fleet it has had in some time, he said. The board also approved a gas fitter’s license for Johney M. Gatewood.

ket Giveaway. The 2015 shelter calendar will be available for purchase, as well as applications for the new shelter specialty license plate. “Every person who donates an item or $5 cash to the shelter will receive a free 16 ounce cup of our signature coffee, the Harper Blend,” Essary said. “We hope to raise some money and gather some needed supplies for the shelter and all their fur-babies.” Essary opened the new coffee bar about three weeks ago to help combat the struggles of running a froyo shop in the winter. The bar not only offers tra-

ditional coffee, but also the popular espressos, lattes and frappes. Other selections include apple cider and hot chocolate. Essary, who adopted her cat Norma from the shelter three years ago, hopes animal lovers like herself will stop by this weekend to donate and try out her new coffee. “Norma is my baby,” she said. “Sweet cats just tug at my heart. If I could go adopt every single cat at the shelter I would. Since I can’t, I want to do everything I can to help.” The cat lover plans to donate some needed supplies to the shelter this weekend, as well.

Corinth, Miss.

The rules of war need updating The attack on a cafe in Sydney, Australia, by a selfdescribed Islamic cleric with a long police record, left two hostages dead, along with the cleric, one Man Haron Monis. He was an Iranian Cal refugee who enjoyed the hosThomas pitality and protection of the Australian government. Columnist That incident, which was televised worldwide, was quickly eclipsed by the murder of 145 people at an army-run school in Peshawar, Pakistan. Many of the dead were children. Press reports said Pakistani Taliban fighters burned a teacher alive in front of children and beheaded some of them. A Taliban spokesman said they were exacting revenge for a major operation by Pakistan’s Army to clear Taliban strongholds in the North Waziristan tribal area near the Afghan border. How is the West responding to these and other atrocities? More importantly, how is the Muslim world responding? In the United States, we have been preoccupied with a one-sided and incomplete report by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee that details some of the enhanced interrogation techniques used in the aftermath of 9-11 to extract information from prisoners confined to Guantanamo prison and other facilities run by the U.S. government. Supporters of those techniques assert they saved lives by thwarting more terrorist attacks; detractors assert the opposite. In Britain, the Army has issued new guidelines for interrogating suspected terrorists. They include no shouting, no banging of fists on tables and no “insulting words.” If Britain had employed those techniques during World War II, Hitler’s face might be on the British pound note, instead of the Queen’s. When I was in the U.S. Army, drill sergeants frequently yelled at me and they pounded more than tables. Are we fighting a war, or trying to win “Miss Congeniality”? Every time we witness these attacks, the apologists here and abroad are quick to issue the familiar excuses. This doesn’t represent true Islam, which they say is a religion of peace. These are “lone wolves” (lone rats would be a better designation; wolves at least have some nobility attached to their species). ISIS openly campaigns on the Internet to attract more “lone wolves.” In the end, it doesn’t matter whether one person or an army of Taliban terrorists kill you. You are still dead. When the next attack occurs in America — as it surely will — will the Obama administration issue the predictable denunciations and apologies for Islam, or will we do what needs to be done to stop the killers? Civil liberties are worth protecting until they are used by our enemies — along with the constitutional protections we enjoy — to commit murder. If we are attacked again as on 9-11 and many thousands more of us are killed, what then? Will we eventually go back to business as usual, thus ensuring more attacks? Why aren’t the world’s estimated 1.1 billion Muslims forming an army of their own to take out those they claim misrepresent their religion? Why must America face most of the financial and human burden? These killers claim to be acting in the name of Islam, so how about members of the “peaceful religion” doing themselves and the world a favor by taking the lead and neutralizing the threat of Islamic radicalism? Or would that be an “enhanced technique” that might offend the sensibilities of Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee? Apparently, those senators have forgotten that the one hijacked plane American heroes forced down in Pennsylvania might have been headed for the Capitol.

Prayer for today My Father, teach me to select my work from that which is noble and true. May I not mold my life in affectation or feel that I must imitate the lives of others, but grant that I may perfect my life through experiences which are worthy of increasing endeavors. Amen.

Health rankings shed light on harsh reality STARKVILLE — In actual distance, it’s about 63 miles from Southaven in DeSoto County to Marks in Quitman County in Mississippi. But in terms of the relative health and longevity between DeSoto and Quitman counties, those towns might as well be on different planets. The Robert Wood Johnson collaborates with the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute to produce the County Health Rankings, which ranks the health of nearly every nation in America. Found online at countyhealthrankings.org, the data helps us learn more about how healthy residents of those counties are and what influences their health and their longevity. What are some of the measures studied to make that determination? High school graduation rates, access to healthy foods, rates of smoking, rates of obesity, and teen births. The research is rather fascinating. It assumed that health outcomes, about equally the length of one’s life and the quality of one’s life, are determined by a set of health factors. Those factors include in the realm of behaviors things like tobacco use, diet and exercise, alcohol and drug use, and

sexual activities. Those factors have a determining weight of about 30 percent. Sid Salter Other key factors in Columnist the realm of clinical determinations include access to health care and the quality of health care available. Those factors have a determining weight of about 20 percent. Socio-economic influences include levels of education, employment, income, family and social support, and community safety. Those factors have a determining weight of about 40 percent. The remaining 10 percent of the rankings are determined by the physical environment by factors like air and water quality and the state of housing and transit. This is a national ranking, but the numbers are rather telling. So are the maps that allow a visual characterization of health outcomes and health factors. Statewide, the study estimates some 10,214 premature deaths in the state in 2014. Some 22 percent are considered to be in poor or fair health. Of the children born in the state, 12.1 per-

cent are low birth weight babies. The study found these numbers regarding Mississippi: About 23 percent of the state’s population still smokes, about 36 percent of the state’s population is obese, about 21 percent of the state’s population is uninsured, about 34 percent of children live in poverty. A whopping 45 percent of Mississippi were found to be in single-parent households. In terms of available medical and dental care in Mississippi, there are about 1,900 patients for every primary care physician and about 2,394 patients for every dentist. What does the map look like? Well, it looks not at all unlike the map that is released monthly by the Mississippi Employment Security Commission outlining unemployment. Where there are jobs and opportunities, available quality medical care, good schools and higher education opportunities, and a safe community, health outcomes – the length of life and the quality of life – are good. Where those conditions don’t exist, health outcomes are not good. So in Mississippi, the Delta region is incredibly unhealthy from

a statistical standpoint – as are parts of southwest Mississippi where jobs aren’t plentiful and there is a sparse population. The lowest common denominators are poverty and lack of educational attainment. To be sure, the lack of economic opportunity feeds both those beasts and another one as well – the lack of a stable and broad tax base. After the holidays, Mississippi’s 2015 election cycle will begin in earnest. Already, education and healthcare are as usual the most difficult issues facing the Mississippi Legislature and our statewide elected officials – supplanted only by the most recent diagnosis of the old cancer of corruption in state government – this time in the Department of Corrections. Children can’t choose between being born in DeSoto County – where they’re likely to live long and healthy lives – or in Quitman County, where statistically neither benefit is likely to inure. But Mississippi’s policymakers – and the state’s electorate – can make those choices and they have those choices to make again in 2015 at the ballot box Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist.

Senate’s torture report is wasteful The recent release of a Senate report commissioned by Democrats regarding torture of terrorism suspects in order to obtain vital information was a waste of $40 million of taxpayer money. It already had been documented extensively that three suspects were waterboarded and that sleep deprivation and other such techniques were used to extract vital information from terrorists. Though the report says otherwise, that information played a part in the apprehension or annihilation of many upper-echelon terrorist leaders, including Osama bin Laden. The high-profile release of this information at a time when we are engaged in war with various terrorist groups demonstrates a profound lack of wisdom because this information will undoubtedly be used as an effective recruitment tool by our enemies. Some of the people responsible for the release of this report have publicly acknowledged that it could put members of the military and other Americans at significant risk because

they could now become prized targets for revenge. It seems likely that the unwise Ben timing of this Carson information release was Columnist p o l i t i c a l l y motivated, seeing as control of the Senate will be in Republican hands in January. This is a prime example of a potentially lethal disease that has infected Washington, called blind partisanship. It is exhibited when people are more concerned about damaging the other party or enhancing their own party than they are about the welfare of their nation. Of course, we should all be concerned about cruel and unusual treatment of any human being, but we must have enough common sense to recognize that it is foolish to do anything that contributes to the longterm weakening of our military efforts, especially when we are engaged in a war, even though some may not want to call it that. Unfortunately, conflicts

and wars seem to be a part of the human condition from which we cannot escape, even though we must never cease trying. However, when we are involved in a war, we should use every resource available to end it quickly and successfully, including the use of covert weapons and techniques that are not meant for public consumption. It is absolutely foolhardy to believe that everyone is going to abide by the rules of moral war, if there are such things. If we allow our enemies to do anything they want to do, including beheading our citizens, but we feel that we must accord them every courtesy and comfort, our days of winning wars will be over. We should not put our military forces, our intelligencegathering forces or any of our defensive or offensive personnel in a position of questioning whether we will back them up when a problem arises if they are using their best judgment on behalf of their fellow citizens. This will only cause them to be fearful and tentative at times when definitive and aggressive action is war-

ranted. The $40 million that was used on this study could have been better employed to study alternative techniques for extracting vital information from unwilling captives, which could be added to our armamentarium. We also need to understand that peace is much more likely to be realized if we are in a position of strength and possess a military force that cannot be challenged. We also might experience more peace if we tried to anticipate and prepare for trouble, as opposed to waiting and simply reacting to ever-increasing problems. Members of both parties need to take time to figure out who the real enemies are and stop trying to demonize each other. We have a lot to be proud of as Americans. Maybe we should spend time studying and talking about that. Ben S.

Justices to discuss gay marriage case WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court added the challenge to Louisiana’s same-sex marriage ban to the agenda for the justices’ closeddoor conference Jan. 9. The action Wednesday does not mean the court will decide that day to hear a gaymarriage case. But the January meeting will be the first time the justices will have had the issue before them since they opted in October against taking up samesex marriage. The Louisiana case is unusual in that it has yet to be heard by a federal appeals court. But same-sex couples challenging an appellate ruling upholding bans in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee could be considered by the court next month.

Confederate soldier grave dug up KNOXVILLE, Ga. — Authorities in Georgia say the grave of a Confederate soldier has been dug up and investigators are working to determine whether anything has been stolen. Crawford County Sheriff Lewis Walker on Thursday said a grave is at the Old Bethel Church Cemetery in Knoxville and belonged to James Nichols. Historical records show Nichols was captured in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on July 4, 1863, and died Nov. 9, 1866. Crawford told the Telegraph of Macon that

Nichols was a first lieutenant in the Confederate Army and the suspects may have been looking for artifacts that were buried with him.

Woman sues over elevator shaft fall BOSTON — A 22-yearold woman who fell two stories down an elevator shaft at Fenway Park and was seriously injured is suing the owner of the Boston Red Sox and an elevator company. Elisabeth Scotland of Brigantine, New Jersey, sued Wednesday in Superior Court in Boston against Fenway Sports Group and Otis Elevator Co. of Farmington, Connecticut. The suit seeks an unspecified amount in damages. The suit says Scotland fell when a closed elevator door opened when she brushed up against it, and she suffered a traumatic brain injury, spinal injuries, facial fractures and dental damage. A Red Sox spokesperson declined to comment on the accident. Messages were left Thursday for an Otis Elevator spokeswoman.

Bohren’s decisions mean both cases will continue to preliminary hearings, where a judge will decide whether there’s enough evidence for trial. Prosecutors have charged both girls with attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the attack in May in Waukesha, a city of 71,000 about 15 miles west of Milwaukee. They say the girls plotted for months to kill classmate Payton Leutner, luring her to a wooded park after a sleepover and stabbing her 19 times. After her attackers left, Leutner crawled through the woods to a sidewalk where a bicyclist found her and called 911.

Orion spacecraft back in Florida CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s experimental Orion spacecraft left Florida by rocket and returned by truck. The capsule arrived back at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday. It rocketed into orbit Dec. 5, traveling 3,600 miles into space on an unmanned test flight that proved to be a great success. NASA plans to use future models to help get astronauts to Mars in coming decades. Orion parachuted into the Pacific. After coming ashore at San Diego, the spacecraft was hauled by truck across the country.

College board delays decision on leader JACKSON — Board members will wait until at least January to name a new leader of Mississippi’s 15 community colleges. Spokesman Kell Smith says the board met Thursday and interviewed two finalists to become executive director, then chose to put off a decision. Board Chairman Bruce Martin was not immediately available for comment. He said Wednesday that the board had two finalists — a man and a woman, both Mississippi residents. He says neither is currently a president of one of the 15 colleges. Current Executive Director Eric Clark is retiring at the end of June.

Resident charged after burning death JACKSON — A north Mississippi resident has been arrested after authorities say she created a fundraising scam tied to the burning death of a 19-year-old woman. Attorney General Jim Hood says 39-year-old Janet Posey of Blue Springs is charged with one count of attempted false pretense and one count of communications fraud. Hood says his office was told that Posey had started an effort to raise money based on the burning death of Jessica Chambers in Panola County. Chambers’ death earlier this month remains under investigation. Posey was arrested

Wednesday, and jail records show she was released on $40,000 bond late that night. It was not immediately clear whether she has an attorney.

City panel opposes Sunday alcohol sales PITTSBORO — Pittsboro aldermen are OK with selling cold beer, but not selling alcohol on Sunday. Mayor Reda Bullard tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal the aldermen met Monday night to discuss the issues and will take a final vote on Dec. 22. In creating its ordinance, Bullard says the Board of Aldermen looked at similar ordinances from Coffeeville and Tishomingo. Pittsboro, population 212, currently has no convenience stores or restaurants where alcohol could be sold or served on-premises. Officials believe someone will open a package store in town to sell li-

quor by the bottle. The board plans to allow beer sales Monday through Saturday, from 7 a.m. until midnight. Convenience stores selling beer must be at least 100 feet from a church.

DeSoto board OKs school projects HERNANDO — DeSoto County school board members have voted to move forward with work on several construction projects during their final meeting of the year. The Commercial Appeal reports the board accepted a bid Wednesday for an access drive at Hernando High and Middle schools, designed to relieve congestion in the morning and afternoon on the adjacent campuses. Members accepted the low bid of just over $458,000 from Dixieland Contractors Inc. to build the drive, which will route traffic around the high school baseball field to Mcingvale Road.

Mississippi universities get OK to raise tuition BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi’s College Board gave final approval Thursday to plans for the state’s eight public universities to raise tuition by an average of 3.2 percent this fall. Under the plan, Delta State University and Mississippi Valley State University would keep tuition flat for the third year. The other six universities would increase charges from 2.5 percent to 5 percent. Mississippi residents would pay a statewide average of $6,718 for two semesters of fulltime tuition and fees, up by $272. The largest increases would come at the Uni-

versity of Mississippi and Mississippi State, which would both raise tuition and fees 5 percent to nearly $7,500 a year. The board voted on a two-year tuition plan last year. However, the Mississippi University of Women changed plans and asked for an increase of 2.5 percent after originally planning to keep prices flat next fall. Preliminary approval for the plan was granted in November. Universities say they need more money to increase faculty salaries, cover operation costs and make up for cuts to state aid. Though appropriations to the university system rose by almost $40 million this year, it still remains more than

CHURCH

$55 million short of state appropriations in the 2008 budget year. On a per-student basis, aid shrank even more during the recession. Lawmakers have recommended lower funding for universities next year, although universities assumed they would get more money, said Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds. “None of us like the idea of increasing tuition,” he said. Many students don’t pay the sticker price, thanks to federal, state and college-based aid. In 2010-2011, Mississippi university students typically got $6,400 worth of aid, Southern Regional Education Board figures show.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Murder, corruption, puppy mills, jail escapes, severe weather or politics -- what are the Top Ten Stories of the Year? See Staff Writer / Photographer Jebb Johnston’s story coming Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Daughter refuses to open door to mom’s new beau D E A R ABBY: I have been divorced for more than a year and recently started dating a very Abigail nice man, Van Buren “John.” My eldest daughter and Dear Abby her children live with me. I’d like to be able to invite John over to our house, but my daughter doesn’t want “strange men” around her kids, which I understand. I tried suggesting that she meet John before assuming that he is a strange man, but she’s hesitant about meeting him. Abby, I’d like to be able to spend some nights at home with him instead of always going out. It hurts because I have allowed the father of her children to live with us, yet I can’t have someone I care about visit me at the home I work hard to pay for. Please, Abby. I need advice on how to make my relationship with him and her work. -- STRESSED IN THE MIDWEST DEAR STRESSED: I wish I had more information about your daughter and her attitude. Did she disapprove of your di-

vorce from her father and harbor hopes that you will reconcile? Could she be worried that if you and John become serious, she will have to find another place to live? That she’d refuse to even meet him seems peculiar. It was generous of you to allow her children’s father to live under your roof. (Has he left yet?) Notice that I said “under YOUR roof.” If you want to entertain a guest, as the person who pays the mortgage, that should be your privilege. If that makes her uncomfortable, perhaps it would be better if she took the children to their father’s or another relative’s place for the evening. You are entitled to live your life without your daughter controlling you, but it appears that may be exactly what she’s trying to do. DEAR ABBY: I am a very good swing dancer. I’m 22 and have been doing it since my sophomore year of high school. When I dance I feel alive and free. My boyfriend of two years, “Jonah,” whom I love dearly, isn’t good at it. But he says he wants to learn so we can dance together. We’re going dancing this weekend and, truthfully, I don’t

want to go with him. When I asked him if it would be OK if I danced with some other dancer friends as well as with him, he said he was insulted and hurt by the question, and it would make him too jealous. I explained that I want to help him learn when we take lessons, but in the meantime, I want to dance freely. I have ignored this issue for two years because I knew it would lead to a conflict. Should I suppress my love of dancing until Jonah is at my level or follow my heart and dance my socks off? -- BALLROOM BETSY DEAR BALLROOM BETSY: How is Jonah doing with those dancing lessons? Has he even started? What if it turns out he has two left feet? That he can’t stand the idea of you dancing some of the dances with anyone else is a sign of insecurity. Are you willing to give up swing dancing to please him? If the answer is no, it may be time to change partners. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may feel awkward in a situation, but it’s training. The charming people haven’t lived charmed lives; rather, the adversity they faced helped them mold their personalities in a way to warm up the harsh world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you have a weak connection with a person, it will be difficult to get your point across. Just as phones need to lock onto a common wire or satellite, you need to find common ground before you can proceed effectively. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maintaining your friendships is important, but don’t expect them to stay the same. You enjoy different things from what you did when you were younger, and your relationships accommodate these new interests. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Defending your point of view against those who will likely never share it is a waste of time. Instead, build your community of likeminded thinkers. Together

you’ll be powerful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The goal is to live peaceably, so it’s a little strange that in order to do so you have to have a confrontation. Take a breath. Through clear communication, you will effectively handle this. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Common decency perhaps isn’t as common as it should be. That’s why a certain person is now standing out to you -- someone who continually takes the high road in even the smallest matters. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll live some of life’s dichotomies firsthand. Without danger, there is no adventure. Without risk, there is no excitement. Without fear, there is no courage. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you can’t start by taking on the task (because you’re unready, untrained or because you don’t have the resources), you can start by looking the part, and eventually you’ll get there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People think you’re good at working the room, but really your magic starts before you ever enter the room. The key to social situations is in your attitude: warmth all the way. Why break the ice when you can melt it? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you find solid relationships, you cherish them. There is a limit to how many people you can fit in your inside circle and still have time to cherish each one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Caring about the details will give you an advantage. People notice that you’re noticing. They feel tended to because you’re handling the small matters that contribute to everyone’s comfort. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not always easy for you to tune into what is going on in your own emotional landscape, but the time and effort it takes to figure it out will be worthwhile. When you can manage yourself, you can manage others.

Landlord questions firmness with tenants Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I have tenants who are behind in their rent. I’ve let it slide because I’ve been preoccupied with some personal problems. But my problems have been resolved, and now I’d like the back rent. Under the terms of the lease, I could evict right away, and I am tempted. But I worry that if this family is evicted, they will be living in the cold. The biggest issue for me is that these tenants have been smoking, leaving cigarette butts all over the yard. They have been told that their child has a reduced lung capacity, and no one should be smoking anywhere near the boy. Presumably, they only smoke outside, but that includes the covered porch area by the front door, which means the child is exposed to second- and third-hand smoke all the time. (Indoor smoking would be a violation of the lease.) I’ve already asked the tenants to clean up the cigarette butts and the clutter around the front of the apartment and garage. They’ve done a little, but not much. I am tempted to call Child Protective Services about the exposure to cigarette smoke. I realize I can simply wait for the rent, I could evict them and probably never get what is owed, I could use the threat of

calling CPS as a lever to get payment, or I could do all of the above. What do you think? -- Never Should Have Been a Landlord Dear Never: The child is a separate issue. If you believe he is at risk, you should make a report to the authorities and let them investigate. In most places, even though you have the right to evict, you need to have the police, local sheriff or other enforcement agency physically remove the family from the premises. This takes time. Notify the family in writing how much they owe in back rent, and that you will begin eviction proceedings if they do not start making payments. Dear Annie: My sweetheart and I just rekindled a long-ago attraction. It’s a long-distance relationship, so our visits are fun, but they are increasingly intense as we ponder our future. I’m 63, he’s 68, and we are both youthful despite the years. “Bob” and I have been

single and celibate for more than 12 years. He has not had a significant long-term relationship since his divorce 12 years ago. He remains friends with his ex, the mother of his children. They even play bridge together with another couple -- I don’t know whether that’s a factor in our situation. Bob has erectile dysfunction issues. I try not to pressure him, but our makeout sessions arouse me -- and then they don’t go any further. Bob feels we should let nature takes its course, meaning sex will happen when it happens, but at our age, I know things can be more complicated. I love him, and I know he loves me, but it makes me sad to envision a sexless future. Advice? -- Postmenopausal and Still Frisky Dear Frisky: If Bob has ED issues, nature might never take the course you want. Please ask him to discuss this with his doctor. There are various treatments for ED, and Bob may be willing to try one. There are also other ways to satisfy one’s partner. But ultimately, you must decide how important an active sex life is to your future happiness, because the situation may not improve.

Baldwyn takes two at Biggersville BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

BIGGERSVILLE — The schedule didn’t play out well for the Biggersville Lions. Looking to extend a twogame winning streak, Biggersville ran into Baldwyn on Thursday and the Bearcats left the same way they came into the contest -- unbeaten. Felix Hayes scored a gamehigh 21 points and an ailing Duke Upshaw came off the bench for 15 more as Baldwyn took a 66-50 win. Biggersville (2-10) nearly doubled its first half output with 32 points over the final two quarters, but the Class 2A runners-up countered with 35 of its own to improve to 10-0. Devonte Spears led the

Lions, who had won two straight following 10 straight setbacks that included an 0-9 start to the current season, with 11 -- after being held to a single bucket in the first half. Bradley Davis added 10, including the Lions’ lone 3-point bucket of the contest. • In the opener, Jada Tubbs got loose for a game-high 31 points but that turned out to be the bulk of the Lady Lions’ offense as Baldwyn cruised to a 70-44 win. Tubbs has six of the Lady Lions’ 11 field goals and knocked down 19-of-22 shots from the charity stripe. Five other BHS players combined for the team’s other 13 points. Tyler Shelley was held scoreless and left the contest with a knee injury in the sec-

ond quarter. Reports indicate it’s not the same knee that cost her the majority of the 2013-14 season. Timaya Stewart came off the bench to pace Baldwyn with 21, including 11 in a third quarter in which the Lady Bearcats (9-2) outscored the Lady Lions (4-7) 24-11. Biggersville closes out its pre-Christmas slate tonight at Walnut. Both clubs will return to play in the 8th Annual Peggy Bain Holiday Hoops Tournament, set to be played Dec. 29-30 at both the Middle School ad High School gyms at Alcorn Central.

UT’s Hurd cited for underage drinking The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd has been cited for underage drinking. A University of Tennessee police department report states that an officer issued two misdemeanor citations on Dec. 3 at about 1:35 a.m. Although the report doesn’t include any names, Sgt. Cedric Roach confirmed Thursday that Hurd was one of two people “arrested by citation for underage drinking” in association with the case. The news was first reported by The Tennessean. Volunteers coach Butch Jones said Thursday, “We’ve handled that internally and we’ll continue to handle that.” Jones said it wouldn’t affect Hurd’s status for Tennessee’s bowl game. Tennessee (6-6) faces Iowa (7-5) on Jan. 2 in the TaxSlayer Bowl at Jacksonville, Florida. Hurd, an 18-year-old freshman, has rushed for 777 yards and three touchdowns.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Multiple reports say the Chicago Bears are benching quarterback Jay Cutler and going with Jimmy Clausen. ESPN first reported Wednesday that the Bears were switching quarterbacks, with Clausen getting the nod over Cutler for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. The Bears would not confirm the move.

OXFORD — LaDarius White scored a career-high 26 points, including 6 of 8 from 3-point range, to lift Mississippi to a 71-68 win over Coastal Carolina on Thursday. Jarvis Summers and Stefan Moody added 16 and 11 points, respectively, for the

Rebels (7-3), combining for five free throws in the final 55 seconds to preserve the win. Ole Miss, trailing 41-28 at halftime, had a decisive 15-2 run midway through the second half to take a lead it never surrendered. Elijah Wilson and Shivaughn Wiggins had 19 points apiece for Coastal Car-

olina (8-3), which led by 17 points on two occasions in the first half. Josh Cameron added 15 points for the Chanticleers, who finished 22 of 43 (51 percent) from the field. Ole Miss was 23 of 46 (50 percent) from the field, including 9 of 24 (37.5 percent) from 3-point range. The Reb-

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics traded point guard Rajon Rondo to Dallas on Thursday night, cutting ties with the last remnant of their last NBA championship while giving Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks a chance at another title. The Celtics will send Rondo and forward Dwight Powell to Dallas for Jameer Nelson, Jae Crowder, Brandan Wright,

two draft picks and a $12.9 million trade exception. “Welcome to Rajon Rondo the newest member of the Dallas Mavericks,” team owner Mark Cuban wrote on the social media application Cyber Dust shortly before the official announcement. Cuban also thanked the three departing players, calling them “Amazing players and better people.” Boston got a first-round

pick in next year’s draft and a second-rounder in 2016. The Celtics have eight firstround picks in the next four years, picking them up in trades for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and even coach Doc Rivers as they shed the pieces of the New Big Three that earned the franchise its unprecedented 17th NBA title in 2008. “We would not have won Banner 17 without Rajon and

will always consider him one of our most valuable Celtics,” the team’s owners said in a joint statement. “We will always cherish the time he was here.” The Mavericks get a passfirst point guard — a fourtime all-star — to team with Nowitzki, Monta Ellis, Chandler Parsons and Tyson Chandler in what they hope will make them a contender again.

Christmas: Ordinary night brings extraordinary joy “In the first light of a new day, no one knew he had arrived; things continued as they had been while a newborn softly cried. But the heavens wrapped in wonder, knew the meaning of his birth; in the weakness of a baby, they knew God had come to earth. “As His mother held Him closely, it was hard to understand that her baby, not yet speaking, was the Word of God to man…” – The words come from “In the First Light” which is one of my favorites songs, tying the birth of Jesus to His sacrificial death and then proclaiming the resurrection and ascension of the Savior of the world. The words are

powerful – and the truth of the Story is powerful. W i t h Lora Ann c h u r c h Huff es and schools Back Porch d o i n g Christmas programs with the children singing carols, people’s schedules have been filled to the limit lately – but the joy of it all is what the busyness is about. I have so enjoyed seeing our grandchildren with happy faces telling us what time to be at their performances, and I know they are learning the story the way we learned it

when we were kids. I’m reminded of what Max Lucado says about the story of Jesus’ birth. He says there is one word to describe the night Jesus came – it was ordinary. The night was ordinary, the shepherds on the hillside were ordinary and so were their sheep. He says that God put an “extra” on the front of ordinary on the night Jesus came because God likes to work among what is common and ordinary. Quoting Max from his devotional book “In the Manger:” “The announcement went first to the shepherds. They didn’t ask God if He was sure He knew what He was doing. Theologians would have

consulted their commentaries. The elite would have looked to see if anyone was watching. The successful would have first looked to their calendars. The angels went to the shepherds - men who didn’t know enough to tell God that messiahs aren’t found sleeping in a feed trough. God comes to the common – because His most powerful tools are the simplest!” I think that’s one reason it is so important that small children hear the Story, sing the songs that tell the Story, and hear the scriptures that explain the Story. While they’re young, they will listen, they will memorize

the words and the Bible verses, they will remember them for the rest of their lives. As we grow older we may tend to try to analyze and explain everything that comes along, but sometimes it’s best to go back and accept things the way we did when we were kids – taking the simple explanations and expressions that our God gave us and move forward, trusting Him in everything. Instead of trying to do things on our own, we can trust Him to work it out simply and in His time. As adults that’s hard to do – but remember that God sent His Son as a baby to grow up and live

among humans, showing us what the Father is really like. Then eventually He gave His life as a sacrifice for all the sins of the world, giving us a chance at salvation and a life with Him in heaven. If He worked out a plan like that, He can surely work in our lives and solve everyday problems that put us in such turmoil. …So I wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas and the best of God’s blessings in the New Year. Enjoy the simple story of an ordinary birth in an ordinary setting and rejoice in the truth of an “extraordinary” Savior who moved in with us and will never leave us alone again.

All I want for Christmas is for the world to see the truth I have very fond memories of Christmas during my earlier years of childhood. I can remember the anxiety of waiting to see what Santa would leave under the Christmas tree for me. Christmas was a great time and all of the family were home enjoying each other’s company and a tremendous meal together. One of my most vivid memories of Christmas songs is “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” According to Wikipedia this song was written in 1944 by Donald Yetter Gardner, a music teacher in Smithtown, New York. Written as a novelty Christmas song, Gardner’s song was published in 1948 and became a huge hit. I can remember this song being played on the radio many times during my childhood years and I must say I miss hearing it in today’s music selection. Not only did I hear this

song being played but I remember very well the Christian songs Gary that were Andrews p l a y e d about the Devotionals Christ Child that was born on Christmas Day. We sang these songs in school, in church, and around the Christmas tree as a family unit. Even though I was a child it seemed as everything was okay in our family. We had a home, an automobile, and food on the table, gifts under the tree, and a love that would last forever among family members. My childhood was great and I am very blessed to have had Christian parents that took care of me and saw that I was fed a proper diet from the table but also a healthy Christian diet from the Word of God.

Now that I am an adult and have raised four children of my own, it is my sincere hope and wish that I duplicated what my parents did for me at Christmas time. I must say that my wife and I probably went overboard many Christmases on gifts for our children. Our income levels were higher than that of my parents and we were able to produce more gifts, however there could never be any more love and tradition produced than was instilled in me in my earlier days. It is my hope that our children will carry on the tradition of love, gift giving, and family time that is so necessary for a happy and bountiful Christmas season. In today’s society we find so many broken homes, so many homes without fathers, and so many families that have been divided through divorce. It seems that in today’s world it is okay to

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday – Isaiah 9:1-7; Monday – Matthew 2:1-12; Tuesday – Numbers 24:17-19; Wednesday – Luke 2:1-20; Thursday – Jeremiah 10:1-10; Friday – 1 John 4:712; Saturday – Micah 5:1-5. celebrate the holidays in a very secular manner and never enter these sacred days with a vision of love, patience, or kindness. Today’s attitude seems to be all about “me”, and it doesn’t matter about the world around me. Many people have become egotist and the caring attitude of Christmas passes them by and they never realize or understand what the true meaning of Christmas is. We can study the history of Christmas and get

explanations of how and why Christmas began. All of them will tell you it started with the birth of Jesus in a lowly manger. As we read the gospels in the New Testament we are told of Jesus birth and how the magi came to worship Him and brought Him gifts. The prophet Isaiah declared eight hundred years before the birth of Jesus, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light,” Isaiah 9:2. It was the promise of the coming of Christ and the light that was to dawn upon the world. (This Christmas Night by Billy and Ruth Graham) For centuries Christians and non-Christians have celebrated Christmas. Whether it is for secular reasons or Christian reasons, I feel all of us; no matter who we are understand the true meaning of Christmas. I firmly believe that Jesus is my Savior and the light of the

world and He has given me love in my heart. This love comes from Him through me to my family, friends, and neighbors and it is my sincere wish that this love radiates from Him through you as well. When I was a child I loved Christmas and now as an adult I continue to love Christmas. I love the songs, the festivities, the joy, and the friendliness everyone seems to find at this time of year. When I was 6 years old all I wanted for Christmas was my two front teeth and now that I am up in my years I continue to hold to them and hope I always will. All I want for Christmas is for people to love one another in a Christ like way and understand He is the real reason for the season. Prayer: Thank you Lord for being our light of the world and I pray that everyone will see you in all that they do. Amen.

Vatican to open pope’s farm to public

and vegetables for the pope and his staff. The Vatican is planning to open the farm to the public next year, after finding success with its guided tours of Castel Gandolfo’s surrounding gardens. Soon, the public will be able to see the free-range hens, ostriches, turkeys, rabbits and 80 cows that feed Francis and his staff.

Religion Briefs The Associated Press

Biden marks start of Hanukkah at national menorah WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden says Hanukkah commemorates the miracle of courageous warriors overcoming great odds to protect the Jewish people’s culture and dignity. Biden marked the start of the eight-day Jewish holiday Tuesday evening by observing the lighting of the national menorah. A trio of cantors sang Hanukkah songs as a rabbi lit the giant menorah on the Ellipse outside the White House. Biden said Jewish heritage is American heritage. Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Jewish Temple by the Maccabees after their victory over Syrian oppressors. Jews mark each of the eight days of Hanukkah by lighting candles on a menorah, or candleholder. The national menorah has been lit in the park south of the White House every year since 1979, when President Jimmy Carter attended the first lighting.

Atheist group and church advertise on Arkansas billboard LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A digital billboard in northwest Arkansas is flashing alternating ads by a church and an atheist group. The billboard along Interstate 49 in Springdale has been showing an ad sponsored by the group American Atheists. It shows a young girl writ-

ing Santa Claus that all she wants for the holidays is to miss church, because she’s too old for fairy tales. The ad is part of a campaign to promote the atheist group’s national convention, which will be held over the Easter weekend in Memphis, Tennessee. The atheist ad inspired a response by Grace Church in Alma, Arkansas. Executive Pastor Devon Walker says the congregation raised about $900 to pay for its own message to appear about 16 seconds later on the same digital billboard for the two weeks before Christmas. The church’s ad reads, “Questions, Doubts, Curiosity? All Welcome at Grace Church, Alma.”

Vatican praises, thanks US nuns as olive branch VATICAN CITY — The Vatican is going out of its way to mend fences with American nuns, thanking them for their selfless work caring for the poor while gently suggesting ways to survive amid a decline in their numbers. A long-awaited report on the Vatican’s threeyear investigation into U.S. women’s religious orders was released Tuesday and was remarkable for what it didn’t say. There was no criticism of American nuns, no hard recommendations to shift focus away from social justice issues and no accusation that a feminist mentality prevails among them. Rather, the report was remarkably positive and encouraging. It offered a

radically different message in content and tone compared with that of another Vatican office investigating a group of the sisters’ leaders.

Jury selected to hear in vitro dismissal lawsuit INDIANAPOLIS — A jury has been selected to hear a schoolteacher’s lawsuit over her claim that she was dismissed by a northern Indiana Roman Catholic diocese

because she tried to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization. Emily Herx claims she was dismissed from Fort Wayne St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School because she tried to become pregnant through in vitro fertilization, a process involving mixing egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. The process is banned under Catholic doctrine. The trial is expected to last the rest of the week.

Long Lewis Ford hosts student art competition BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Local students completed their artistic winter wonderland murals this week on the front showroom windows at Long Lewis Ford on Harper Road. Art class students from Alcorn Central High School, Biggersville High School, Corinth High School and Kossuth High School took the challenge to win $500 for their art department from the longtime Corinth dealership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each school was assigned four windows to use. Their only requirement was to somehow use the Ford logo in their mural. We supplied them with a quart of the seven different paint colors and other needed supplies,â&#x20AC;? said Long Lewis operations manager Jeremy Hartnell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the murals were completed, we took pictures and posted them on our business Facebook account.â&#x20AC;? Hartnell said the winner of the contest will be determined by the most likes each picture receives on the social media website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also provided each school with a sheet of plywood for a cut out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Photos posted on our Facebook wall with the cut out will fetch that school extra votes in the contest.â&#x20AC;?

Christmas holiday has roots in winter solstice On â&#x20AC;&#x153;the darkest evening of the year,â&#x20AC;? as he describes it in the poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,â&#x20AC;? poet Robert Frostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speaker muses over the conflict between obligation and desire. That â&#x20AC;&#x153;darkest evening,â&#x20AC;? implied to be the winter solstice, involves an average of approximately 141â &#x201E;2 hours of darkness. Although the meteorological winter begins December 1st, it is considered the calendar beginning of winter. It is no coincidence that that the winter solstice, which occurs at a specific time between the 20th and 23rd of December, is close to Christmas Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason that Christmas follows closely on the heels of the solstice. Generally, we think of Christmas as always having been exclusively a holiday steeped in Christian

origin, but, according to Ronald Hutton, a historian at Bristol UniverStacy sity in the Jones U n i t e d Kingdom, The m o d e r n Dowtowner Christmas traditions are a meld of Christian influence and pre-Christian paganism. Christmas, he adds, is, by no means, a modern phenomenon. Early Roman Christians wanted to convert them, but they were also fascinated by the traditions of â&#x20AC;&#x153;pagans,â&#x20AC;? a term they ascribed to an amalgam of folks living under a variety of religious creeds as Christianity spread throughout Europe in the first centuries A.D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christians of that period are quite interested in paganism,â&#x20AC;? said

Philip Shaw, a researcher of early Germanic languages and Old English at the United Kingdomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leicester University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously something they think is a bad thing, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also something they think is worth remembering. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what their ancestors did.â&#x20AC;? Midwinter pagan festivals coincided with the solstice because it was a time following harvest, and the work was done for the rest of the year. Thus, it became a time to cheer up, decorate, feast, and party. The alternative in a region where midwinter brought lingering darkness and cold and hunger was bleaker: falling into depression or going mad. One version of this festival season was the Roman holiday was called Dies Natalis Solis Invictus, or the Birthday of the Unconquerable Sun. The Romans also celebrated

Saturnalia, in honor of Saturn, the Roman agricultural god. Another version was Yuletide, a Germanic celebration that lasted, like Christmas, for 12 days. Although these holidays originated from the celebration of various mythological gods and goddesses, some of them included activities that are associated with modern Christmas: having a season of celebration for 12 days, decorating a wintergreen tree with fruit and flowers, burning the Yule log, hanging wreaths, and the singing and drinking accustomed with wassailing. These customs had different meanings, however, than they do now in connection with Christmas. Following the crossover between pagan and Christian tradition, early Christians werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keen on Christmas. Although

the earliest reference to Christmas being celebrated on December 25th is in the second century after Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birth, it took the Roman church 300 years to begin celebrating Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. In America many years later, the Puritans outright rejected Christmas, likely because of the excessive, raucous, sometimes bawdy way it had been celebrated in Europe with drinking and carousing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to look at a real â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;War on Christmas,â&#x20AC;? said Stephen Nissenbaum, author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Battle for Christmas, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to look at the Puritans,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They banned it!â&#x20AC;? Prior to the Victorian era of the 1800s, gifts were not given on Christmas Day but, instead, on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Gifts were considered an incentive to make people

feel good as the year ended. In 1850, however, Queen Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s receipt of gifts is one of the first recorded giving of gifts on Christmas Eve. According to the Royal Collection, those gifts included a sword and armor. So essentially, many of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditions hearken back to early, nonChristian traditions, and the secular and pagan have simply been blended with the Christian. It is a holiday that has been created by borrowing and reinventing. At any rate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to have a Cool Yuleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; or Happy Holidaysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or Merry Christmas!

2014 turned out to be year of battle lines drawn over dinner BY J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor

Have you picked a side yet? If not, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better think fast, because the battle lines are being drawn and they cut right down the dinner table. For if there was any theme to the food world in 2014, it was the prevalence of polarizing issues. Whether we were tussling over genetically modified organisms, or debating

how healthy is too healthy for school lunches, this year our collective culinary consciousness seemed mired in disputes. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a roundup of some of the more contentious items on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu of food news:

now gluten has been the â&#x20AC;&#x153;new fat,â&#x20AC;? that demonized ingredient-of-themoment that countless Americans obsess over. And like so many dietary fads before it, the antigluten movement has heralded a tidal wave of products and promises. But this is no ordinary Snackwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation. Gluten â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which can pop up unexpectedly across the food chain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; really can make people diagnosed with celiac and other digestive disorders exceedingly ill. Except that those folks alone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by some measures about 3 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t account

GMO, yes or no? Like it or not, genetically modified foods are

WHY (NOT WHEN) WAS HE BORN? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wish to â&#x20AC;&#x153;burst anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bubbleâ&#x20AC;?, but no one on earth knows what day of the year Jesus was born. The chances that His birth was on our December 25th are extremely remote at best. If such information were necessary to our salvation, it would have been revealed. The day man calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmasâ&#x20AC;? provides a nice holiday (which I admittedly always enjoy), but it is primarily a secular and commercial holiday, not enjoined upon us by Scripture. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t misunderstand me, we should all have â&#x20AC;&#x153;great joyâ&#x20AC;? that our Savior was born, and we should maintain that joy and the spirit of giving every day of our Christian lives (Luke 2:10-14; Acts 20:35), not just on December 25th. However the most relevant question according to Scripture is, Why was Jesus born? The short answer is, Jesus was born so he could die. A body dies when the spirit leaves it (James 2:26, so Jesus could not die as long as He was solely in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;form of Godâ&#x20AC;?--that is, He had to take on a body in order to leave that body (Philippians 2:5-8). The longer answer is, Jesus was born so He could live the only perfect life ever lived on earth and become the perfect sacrifice (propitiation) for our sins (demonstrating how we should live, resist temptation, and obey His Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will), vicariously die for us on a cruel cross, be raised from the dead by the glory of His Father, sit on His exalted throne in heaven and rule over His church, thereby saving us from satan, sin, and death, and sustaining our obedient faith by the mercy, grace, and long suffering of His compassionate and perfect priesthood. The Hebrew said it like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone...Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage... Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the peopleâ&#x20AC;? (Hebrews 2:9, 14-15,17).

for the growth of the gluten-free market into a multi-billion-dollar industry. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our dispute. Experts increasingly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and with greater volume â&#x20AC;&#x201D; question the value of going gluten-free without a diagnosis, yet plenty of people staunchly stand by anecdotal health benefits.

on the menu. So this year, the debate centered on how much we should know about that. Advocates of GMOs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mostly business interests behind the industry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say the foods not only are safe but are key to managing the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasingly complex agricultural needs. Critics say we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet know enough about the foods to make that leap. But seeming to accept that the foods are here to stay, lately they have focused their efforts on legislation that would require labeling for foods containing GMO ingredients. That set the stage for big-spending battles to win over voters. In May, Vermont became the first state to require the labels, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on hold pending legal challenges. Chefs like Tom Colicchio and Jose Andres lobbied on behalf of labeling, while some companies tried to get out in front of the issue. In January, General Mills announced that its Original Cheerios would no longer contain GMO ingredients, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rarity. And rather than allow the food industry to face a patchwork of state laws, next year Congress is likely to take up the issue.

Lunch-line showdown Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michelle Obama vs. Congress in a weighty battle. To help address childhood obesity, the first lady made it her mission to help push through tougher nutrition standards for food served in schools. The changes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including prioritizing produce and whole grains â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been phased in since 2012. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a struggle.

Some schools asked to opt out, saying the healthier foods were too costly, too difficult to prepare and unpopular with kids. The first lady this summer said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d fight â&#x20AC;&#x153;to the bitter endâ&#x20AC;? to keep standards high. The optout request didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly, but this month Congress did greenlight easing off the requirements on whole grains, as well as delaying tougher standards on sodium. Child nutrition and school lunches will come before Congress again next year, and the standards are almost certain to be reconsidered.

Wages and workers Fast-food workers continued their push to get consumers thinking about the other side of the Dollar Menu equation. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fight for $15â&#x20AC;? campaign that seeks higher wages for fast-food workers organized protests and job actions around the country, sometimes resulting in arrests. Many fast-food workers make barely more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about $15,000 a year for a 40-hour week. And then there was the Market Basket battle. In a family/corporate feud more complex than a Tolstoy novel, the board of the New England grocery chain ousted its popular CEO, Arthur T. Demoulas. But workers stood by their man and orchestrated weeks of job actions that hobbled the company. And customers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who love the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low prices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stood by the workers by shopping elsewhere until Demoulas was reinstated and bought out opposing family members.
