Basket fund totals $1,750 The spirit of giving this holiday season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area.

Donations are beginning to pour in for the 20th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund.

A $25,000 fundraising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 5. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached.

So far, $1,750 has been raised.

Recent donations include $100 from Bob & Janet Krohn in memory of Bobbie Wilbanks Simpson, $100 from Barbara A. Barrett in honor of “our two children and our grandchild” and $35 from Mr. & Mrs. Norbert Coleman.

Contributions to the Christmas Basket Fund can be made “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person or persons. The tribute will be published daily in the Daily Corinthian.

Donations can be brought by the newspaper office 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or mailed to: Daily Corinthian, Attn.: Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, MS 38835.

Corinth will seek the Tombigbee River Valley Water Management District’s help with bridge repairs on Droke Road.

Food baskets are about giving KHS leader loves his job

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Showtime at Crossroads Arena Saturday morning was all about giving.

Rotarians and student volunteers came together for the 20th annual Christmas Basket food giveaway, a project of Corinth Rotary and the Daily Corinthian. With dinosaurs populating the inside of the arena, the drive-through event was shifted outdoors on a frosty early morning.

In addition to generous donations from the community, Rotary credits the helping hands of youth with making the event possible. Beta Club members worked the line outside the arena, loading up each vehicle passing through.

Alcorn Central senior Austin Settlemires, participating for the second time, has found the event to be an eyeopener.

“These people don’t have a lot, and you get to give them something that they can really cherish over the holidays,” he said.

“It really makes you feel better about yourself when you can help people out like this.”

KOSSUTH — Longtime Alcorn County educator Travis Smith hasn’t always had a good reputation.

When the 48-year-old took over the reins as Kossuth High School principal earlier this year, there were some rumblings in the community.

The move kicked off his second tour at KHS. From 2003 to 2009, Smith had taught U.S. History and coached basketball at the school.

“When you’re a coach, you’re going to upset some people,” he said.

At first, a few people in the close-knit community felt Smith wasn’t the right fit for the principal job, but that quickly changed.

Classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge hits CT-A stage

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

A classic tale filled with ghostly encounters, heart-warming scenes and one bitter old miser, Corinth Theatre-Arts’ production of “A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas” will remind patrons to count their blessings and be grateful for that which they have received.

Based on the 1843 novella by Charles Dickens, the play follows the misadventures of the notorious penny-pincher Ebenezer Scrooge as he receives a sobering dose of reality.

Slowly, but surely, thawing his hardened heart, Scrooge is visited by four spirits – his late business partner Jacob Marley (Will Pearce) and the ghosts of Christmas Past (Channing Palmer), Present (Della Miller) and Yet-to-be (Caleb Pace).

With the help of the mysteri-

ous spirits, his underpaid clerk Bob Cratchit (Dave Frost) and one sickly, but hopeful Tiny Tim (Hayden Brooks), Scrooge ultimately realizes he has made a humbug of himself.

Striving to mend his cruel ways in order to save not only his life, but those near-and-dear to him, the newly-reformed skinflint finds himself in a race against time.

As he attempts to siphon the poison out of his life, Scrooge must oneby-one, visit those he’s wronged to make amends or face a pauper’s funeral.

Excited about their latest roles, Channing Palmer and Philip Henson will be returning as co-stars after assuming the roles of George and Mary Bailey in last year’s production of “It’s a Wonderful Life”.

“I am flattered to be playing the Ghost of Christmas Past,” said Palm-

er. “I am ready to show Mr. Scrooge that being bitter is not the answer and that Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year.”

Echoing her enthusiasm for the play, Christmas Present (Della Miller) also expressed her appreciation for Guest Director Daniel Eli Rodgers.

“I would like to extend a special thank you to Eli because he is an awesome director who listens to his cast, is open to suggestions and respects the opinions of others,” she said. “I would also like to thank my fellow actors. This is such a fun cast!

We get along well and are having a blast in rehearsals.”

Sponsored by Garrett Eye Clinic and Cooley and Labas Financial Advisors, the play will hit the historic

Trial set for 3 in meth inquiry ABERDEEN — A federal judge has set a March trial date for three north Mississippi men accused of attempting to bring large amounts of methamphetamine into the state.

Christopher Graham, 27, of Pheba, George Fields, 30, of Prairie and Morickus Davidson, 32, of Houston face indictments for conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and sale of a controlled substance.

The three are accused of buying methamphetamine from a supplier in California and having it shipped to Mississippi.

The indictment says the drugs were then distributed to “buyers in the Northern District of Mississippi and elsewhere”.

The timeline for the conspiracy is February to September of this year.

The trial date is set for March 14 in U. S. District Court in Aberdeen.

Corinth will seek the Tombigbee River Valley Water Management District’s help with bridge repairs on Droke Road.

county to amend its solid waste management plan so that the city can add land to its inert landfill on Linden Street. Both requests will go before the county on Monday.

In other business on a light agenda: • Adjudication hearings yielded 30-day continuances for properties at 1911 Mississippi Street and 1807 Maple.

The board set new hearings for 415 Martin Luther King and an estate property at the corner of White and Martin Luther King for 5 p.m. Dec. 15.

• The board had a brief talk with Park Director Ray Holloway about handing over administration of the park’s payroll from City Hall to the parks department.

While the park currently gets a monthly draw, it would instead receive all of its millage income each month if it takes on the payroll duties, possibly using a contractor.

“It allows you much more access to your funds,” said Alderman Andrew Labas, who planned to meet with Holloway to discuss it further.

The tourism office took on administration of its payroll in October.

Volunteer John D. Mercier distributes food boxes in preparation for the giveaway.

John D. Mercier, driving a forklift loaded with food supplies, paused for a moment to reflect on the early years of the event. He recalled working in the chilly pouring rain in 1998, when the former Dana Corporation building was the distribution point.

“It’s always rewarding,” he said.

The event distributes 1,000 food boxes. Groceries inside the boxes have a retail value of $50, and

each box also includes paper products compliments of Kimberly-Clark.

ACHS teacher Becky Whittemore, participating for the 11th time, was excited by the enthusiasm of the students. More than 20 Beta Club members were involved, either working the car line or helping with the ticketing process inside the arena.

It is their main service project for the year.

“I enjoy seeing all the kids interact with other people and give of their time,” she said. “This is

actually something that the kids want to do. It’s not something they have to do.”

ACHS Beta Club sponsor Rebecca Lewis and her son, Connor, were each working their 10th Christmas Basket giveaway.

“I think it’s so important,” she said. “Our motto for Beta is, ‘Lead by serving others.’”

The annual giveaway is an act of faith carried out before funds are in hand to pay for it. While organizers set a fundraising

goal of $25,000 to cover the expense of the food boxes, donations are just starting to come in. The total in hand as of today is $1,735.

All donations to the cause are acknowledged in print in the Daily Corinthian, and contributions in memory or in honor of a special person are encouraged.

Donations can be made at the newspaper office or mailed to Daily Corinthian, Attn: Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, MS 38835.

Booneville to add cameras at parks

Today is Sunday, Dec. 6, the 340th day of 2015. There are 25 days left in the year. Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, begins at sunset.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 6, 1865, the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, abolishing slavery, was ratified as Georgia became the 27th state to endorse it.

On this date: In 1790, Congress moved to Philadelphia from New York.

In 1884, Army engineers completed construction of the Washington Monument by setting an aluminum capstone atop the obelisk.

In 1907, the worst mining disaster in U.S. history occurred as 362 men and boys died in a coal mine explosion in Monongah, West Virginia.

In 1917, some 2,000 people died when an explosives-laden French cargo ship collided with a Norwegian vessel at the harbor in Halifax, Nova Scotia, setting off a blast that devastated the city.

In 1922, the AngloIrish Treaty, which established the Irish Free State, came into force one year to the day after it was signed in London.

In 1947, Everglades National Park in Florida was dedicated by President Harry S. Truman.

In 1957, America’s first attempt at putting a satellite into orbit failed as Vanguard TV3 rose about 4 feet off a Cape Canaveral launch pad before crashing down and exploding.

In 1969, a free concert

by The Rolling Stones at the Altamont Speedway in Alameda County, California, was marred by the deaths of four people, including one who was stabbed by a Hell’s Angel.

In 1989, 14 women were shot to death at the University of Montreal’s school of engineering by a man who then took his own life.

BOONEVILLE — New electronic eyes will soon be coming to Booneville city parks.

Park Director Jon Hill received permission from aldermen to seek bids on a system of wireless surveillance cameras for the park.

He recently met with several security system providers to learn more about the options and will be preparing specifications and putting the project out for bids in the coming weeks.

Hill said they want a system that will cover all of the areas of the parks where they’ve had problems with vandalism and other improper activities. City Attorney and Prosecutor Daniel Tucker said he wants to be certain the cameras purchased produce high enough quality images to ensure they can identify and prosecute those caught violating the law in the parks. He said they will continue to aggressively prosecute anyone involved in illegal activities in these areas.

Santa at the Ranch will benefit family MICHIE, Tenn. — Santa at the Ranch at Crazy K Ranch will have a silent auction for Kirby Phillips on Tuesday, Dec. 8 from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. at the Ranch.

Phillips, a McNairy Central High School student, was recently injured in a car wreck. All proceeds from the auction will help Kirby’s family with medical expenses. There will be other activities and food for everyone. If you would like to donate a silent auction item, please call Misti at 731-610-2498 or 731-646-1446.

Ministry seeks aid to help the needy

City of Oxford may take over Safe Ride

BOONEVILLE — Jesus Cares has several needs that to be met to help them minister to others in need in McNairy County. The outreach ministry is funded by churches in the county as they work with other local organizations.

The winter weather will bring many challenges for the needy people in the county. Jesus Cares have issued a call for warm clothing, a place for homeless to stay, and other winter items.

Jesus Cares also are looking for refrigerators, ovens, dryers, and washers to meet the needs of other people. The ministry also provides financial assistance and helps them find a job.

If you would like more information, call Jesus Cares at 731-645-4388.

OXFORD — A group of Ole Miss students seeing a need for safe late-night transportation for students to get back from the Square to campus came together a couple years ago to fill that need and formed Students for Safe Ride.

The late-night bus service is funded through donations and fundraisers created by the student committee.

The city of Oxford is now looking to take over the late-night ride and have it man- aged by the Oxford-University Transit system. The city, university and the Safe Ride committee would fund the route that, if passed, will run from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursdays and 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturdays.

The Oxford Eagle reports the board of aldermen will receive a proposal at their next meeting on Dec.15.

Chinese university, MSU offer program STARKVILLE — Mississippi State University has signed a memorandum of agreement with a Chinese university to offer a dual degree program in forestry.

The agreement was signed with Shandong Agricultural University on Monday.

MSU says students who partake in the program will be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in forestry from MSU and a Bachelor of Agriculture degree from SDAU. SDAU students who complete three years of study at their home institution will also be eligible to transfer to MSU as part of the dual degree program.

MSU President Mark E. Keenum and Vice President Xinsheng Dong of SDAU say they hope to expand the agreement in the future to include other academic programs.

Regional museum to mark 100 years AMORY — Ninety-nine years ago on December 1, the Gilmore Sanitarium opened in Amory as a rural hospital.

The building was sold to the Amory Arts Council for $10 in 1976.

The Arts Council raised $50,000 to cover renovations and then gave the deed to the city.

It became the Amory Regional Museum in 1976.

The museum plans to kick off a yearlong celebration of 100 years of health care and 40 years of history when a historic marker is placed on the site Thursday, December 10.

Lee County finally earns certification TUPELO — After a nearly three-year process, Lee County has been certified an Excel by 5 early childhood care community.

Ballard Park turns on Christmas lights TUPELO — The Christmas season officially kicked off in Tupelo’s Ballard Park Thursday night.

Included in this year’s park decoration is an animated light display on a solid rectangular panel in front of the Park and Recreation building that plays music to match the animation.

The addition cost approximately $4,000 and it includes a transmitter where people can tune in the music being played on their FM radios.

In years past, plenty of lights could be found

around the lake at the park. This year, however, most of them can be found near the Park and Recreation building and outside the Oren Dunn City Museum.

Deadly Trace wreck hearing postponed ABERDEEN — An hearing for an Alabama man charged in a deadly crash on the Natchez Trace Parkway was postponed until further notice.

Cedric Coonrod, 24, of Huntsville is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Steve Foster, 62.

Foster and his wife were traveling on the Trace when Coonrod’s truck crossed the center line and hit them headon.

Coonrod was expected to plead guilty to charges in the accident on Wednesday, but the hearing was postponed until further notice by an order of the judge.

The case was among a group of hearings postponed Wednesday.

Report ranks MSU in research top 100 STARKVILLE — A new report from the National Science Foundation again finds Mississippi State ranked among the nation’s top 100 research institutions and the Magnolia State’s leading research university.

The recently released NSF Higher Education Research and Development Survey for Fiscal Year 2014 places the university at 98th overall among public and private institutions in the country, based on $209.7 million in total research and development expenditures. It is ranked 62nd among non-medical school institutions.

MSU research accounts for more than half the total $410.5 million expenditures reported by all Mississippi institutions, the survey found.

“Research at Mississippi State is an important economic development success story,” said David Shaw, vice president for research and economic development.

Excel by 5 is a Mississippi-only organization that provides communities with guidelines and support for children from birth to age 5. The program aims to boost early childhood education in those communities.

Communities must meet certain qualifications to become certified, and for Lee County, this has been an ongoing process since 2012.

They begin as candidate communities and once they meet the qualifications, they are certified as being early childhood friendly.

The certification process generally takes two to three years and includes a survey of parents, health care officials and educators to determine the county’s needs, organizing community-wide events, creating a resource guide and holding parent workshops, among other tasks.

Beverly Williams, who was head of the coalition to get Lee County certified until she took on a new job in July, told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal although Lee County has a wealth of resources to offer parents of young children, she felt like many were unaware those resources existed and of where to find them.

Now, she said, hopefully the work started to achieve Excel by 5 certification will help parents and children in Lee County and continue to grow.

Corinth, Miss.

In Israel, the more things change ...

JERUSALEM — More than a decade after my 19th trip to Israel and the Middle East, this 20th visit shows how some things have changed, but the important ones remain the same.

What one notices first is the large amount of new construction, which suggests a certain Israeli permanency against religious opposition, hatred and threats of annihilation perhaps no other country has had to endure. Second are the many prosperous Arab neighborhoods, which defies much Cal of the propaganda broadcast Thomas to the world about how Israelis mistreat Arabs and Muslims, Columnist locking them in poverty.

About half an hour’s drive from Jerusalem, I visit a plant that makes air-conditioning parts. Moshe Lev-Ran, the international manager, who bears a slight resemblance to actor Lorne Greene of the old “Bonanza” TV series, employs Jews and Muslims who he says work together without any problems. Lev-Ran, who says he believes in equal pay for all, thinks prosperity is the key to peace in the region. He admits to a “left hand” (liberal) worldview and given the periodic outbursts of violence by some who are better off than they were before the “occupation,” he is likely engaging in wishful thinking that money is the key to peace.

It seems that everyone in Israel has either a solution to the conflict, or a suggestion for better communicating Israel’s position to the world. Martin Sherman, executive director of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, thinks the government spends too little – a fraction of 1 percent on public diplomacy – allowing Israel’s detractors to dominate in the propaganda war.

Sherman would offer generous economic incentives to Palestinian Arabs to emigrate and seek a better life elsewhere, preserving the Jewishness of the Jewish state. Under his proposal, those who refuse to leave would see their services reduced, including electricity and water, which he sees as morally justifiable, since Israel should have no obligation to sustain its enemies.

He opposes the creation of a Palestinian state and thinks the rest of the world should, too. “Why would the world accept another state that is misogynist and homophobic?” he asks, adding, “Jews must realize that between the (Jordan) River and the (Mediterranean) Sea there will be either Jewish or Muslim sovereignty.

To create a Palestinian state next to Israel, says Sherman, would lead to the Lebanonization or balkanization of Israel. “There is no way Muslim Arabs will accept a Jewish state.” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said as much.

Geography and demography are the central concerns of most Israelis. A trip to a mountaintop near the Israeli settlement of Barkan in the West Bank provides a dramatic view of “the three seas,” the Mediterranean, Sea of Galilee and Dead Sea. This vantage point, within view of Ben Gurion Airport, illustrates just how vulnerable Israel would be to terrorist rockets. Think Gaza times two. As the saying goes, “Israel is a small country,” a truth that shocks many first-time visitors.

The Obama administration has asked both Israelis and Palestinians to “tone down” the rhetoric that feeds the violence in Israel. It is unlikely that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will comply. Palestinian hatred of Jews permeates every facet of society and it starts early. According to Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli research institute studying Palestinian society, Palestinian textbooks, for example, “make no attempt to educate for peace or coexistence with Israel.

Instead Israel’s right to exist is adamantly denied and the Palestinian war against Israel is presented as an eternal religious battle for Islam.”

Western governments must remove their blinders and support Israel’s attempt to curtail and conquer this virus, not only for Israel’s sake, but out of self-interest, because a strain of it is already spreading to Europe and America.

War in Syria? Where is Speaker Ryan?

“The United States is being sucked into a new Middle East war,” says The New York Times. And the Times has it exactly right.

Despite repeated pledges not to put “boots on the ground” in Syria, President Obama is inserting 50 U.S. special ops troops into that country, with more to follow.

U.S. A-10 “warthog” attack planes have been moved into Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, close to Syria.

Hillary Clinton, who has called for arming Syrian rebels to bring down Bashar Assad, is urging Obama to establish a no-fly zone inside Syria.

Citing Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus, John McCain is calling for a no-fly zone and a safe zone in Syria, to be policed by U.S. air power.

Yet, if we put U.S. forces onto sovereign Syrian territory, against the will and resistance of that government, that is an act of war.

Would we tolerate Mexican troops in Texas to protect their citizens inside our country? Would we, in the Cold War, have tolerated Russians in Cuba telling us they were establishing a no-fly zone for all U.S. warplanes over the Florida Strait and Florida Keys?

Obama has begun an escalation into Syria’s civil

war, and not only against ISIS and the al-Nusra Front, but against Syria’s armed Pat forces.

Is America Buchanan really preColumnist pared to order the shooting down of Russian warplanes and the killing of Russian pilots operating inside Syria with the approval of the Syrian government?

In deepening America’s involvement and risking a clash with Syrian, Russian and Iranian forces, Obama is contemptuously ignoring a Congress that has never authorized the use of military force against the Damascus regime.

Coming after Congress voted for “fast track,” i.e., to surrender its constitutional right to amend trade treaties, the capitulations of 2015 rank as milestones in the long decline into irrelevance of the U.S. Congress.

Yet in the Constitution, Congress is still the first branch of the U.S. government.

Has anyone thought through to where this U.S. intervention can lead?

This weekend, the Justice and Development Party, or AKP, of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan regained full control of the parlia-

ment in a “khaki election” it called after renewing its war on the Kurdish PKK in southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq.

Erdogan regards the PKK as a terror group. As do we.

But Erdogan also considers Syria’s Kurdish fighters, the YPG, to be terrorists. And Ankara has warned that if the YPG occupies more territory along the Syrian-Turkish border, west of the Euphrates, Turkey will attack. Why should this concern us?

Not only do we not regard the YPG as terrorists, they are the fighting allies we assisted in the recapture of Kobani. And the U.S. hopes Syria’s Kurds will serve as the spear point of the campaign to retake Raqqa, the ISIS capital in Syria, which is only a few dozen miles south of YPG lines.

Should the YPG help to defeat ISIS and become the dominant power in northern Syria, the more dangerous they will appear to Erdogan, and the more problems that will create between the Turkish president and his NATO ally, the United States.

Not only does a Congressional debate on an authorization to use military force appear constitutionally mandated before we intervene in Syria, but the debate itself on an AUMF might induce a measure of caution before

we plunge into yet another Middle East quagmire.

When Saddam fell, we got civil war, ISIS in Anbar, and a fractured and failed state with hundreds dying every week.

And, as of today, no one knows with certitude who rises if Assad falls.

The leading candidates are Jabhat al-Nusra, the front for an al-Qaida that brought down the twin towers, and the butchers of ISIS, who captured another town on the Damascus road this weekend.

Monday, The Wall Street Journal wrote that Erdogan’s regrettable victory is “a reminder of what happens when America’s refusal to act to stop chaos in places like Syria frightens allies into making unpalatable choices.”

Now there’s an argument for America’s plunging into Syria: Send our troops to fight and die in multisided civil war that has cost 250,000 lives, so Turks will feel reassured enough they won’t vote for “strongmen” like Erdogan.

America needs an America First movement.

The state of play in the Republican race There are just eight-anda-half weeks to go until the Iowa caucuses, with two of those weeks devoted to holidays during which polling is ordinarily not conducted, and the race for the Republican presidential nomination seems to be taking perceptible shape. And it continues to defy conventional wisdom.

Since mid-July Donald Trump has been leading in the national polls, except for a moment early last month when he was effectively tied with Ben Carson.

His numbers have moved up and down a bit but have stayed between 22 and 30 percent since early August.

He led in polls in Iowa from August to late October, when he was overtaken by Carson, and by late November, despite calling Iowa voters stupid, he was leading there again.

He has led in New Hampshire polls since late July, and by about 15 points since early August. He has led in South Carolina polls since early August, and by 15 points or more until Carson narrowed the gap in November.

Throughout all these months, most political professionals have poohpoohed his chances of actually winning the nomina-

tion -- and for plausible reasons. His trademark promise of deporting all 11 million Michael illegal imBarone migrants is surely a loColumnist gistical impossibility.

His promise to engage in deal-making with Russia’s Vladimir Putin seems astonishingly naive. His trashtalking of opponents and members of the press seems shockingly un-presidential.

Trump’s support comes disproportionately from non-college graduates and from those with modest incomes -- not the support base for Republican nominees in the recent past.

Interestingly, as FiveThirtyEight analyst Harry Enten points out, Trump has consistently run better in polls conducted by automated phone calls and over the Internet (29 percent) than in live-interview polls (23 percent).

Traditionally, live-interview polling has been the standard technique and its results more trusted. Respondents to Internet polls tend to be self-selected volunteers, not random samples, and it has been assumed

that respondents are more likely to spoof machines than actual human beings.

But polling techniques developed for a nation with universal landline telephones and a population that answers the phone may not be producing reliable results in a nation where, according to Politico’s Steven Shepard, 47 percent of adults now live in cellphone-only households.

One thing polls of any kind don’t do well is project turnout. We’ll be able to see whether Trump’s poll numbers hold up in the next two months of polling. But we won’t see whether he attracts new voters to the polls until the results from Iowa and New Hampshire come in.

Other candidates’ standings are easier to assess.

Ben Carson, with disproportionate support from religious conservatives, seems to be falling out of contention even in religious-conservative-heavy Iowa.

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who won their Senate seats as upstarts against party establishments in 2010 and 2012, have moved into double digits nationally and in early states.

Jeb Bush, leading in national and New Hampshire polls until July, now seems mired in single digits, de-

spite heavy super-PAC advertising. Evidently, few Republican voters are eager to run a dynastic nominee against Hillary Clinton.

It’s theoretically possible that Chris Christie (endorsed by the New Hampshire Union Leader) or John Kasich could jump into contention by winning or placing in New Hampshire. It seems unlikely that in this crowded field anyone else could vault into the top tier as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum did in Iowa in 2008 and 2012.

The dream scenario for Republicans skeptical about Trump is that he brings new people to the polls who ultimately rally to another nominee. A nightmare scenario is if Trump is nominated and runs worse than others, as he does in current polling, against Hillary Clinton. An even worse nightmare: if a disgruntled Trump runs as an independent candidate.

SMITH CONTINUED FROM 1A

“I haven’t always been proud of the way I have conducted myself in the past. I have been able to put as much of that behind me as possible,” he said.

“It was really those four years overseas that changed me for the better,” he added.

Smith, his wife Lisa along with their two youngest sons, Jake and Jonah, spent four years beginning in 2009 on a mission trip teaching at an English speaking school in Malaysia.

“I never thought I would ever do anything like that, but it was an amazing experience that we truly would not take anything,” said Smith. “It was a lot of hard work, long hours and little pay, but worth it all. It changed me.”

While there, Smith was able to continue teaching and coaching. His wife became a well respected first grade teacher in the Asian community they taught. The couple also taught ministry after school.

“After spending time overseas, I now respect people so much more,” he said.

While on the mission trip, Smith also saw how big an impact a good administration can have on a school and its students.

“We came back in 2013 and I was able to take the assistant principal job at Alcorn Central – I learned a lot those two years I was there, but then a position opened closer to home,” he said.

One mile from the Kossuth campus, the Smiths had built their home.

“Even though I was comfortable at Central, coming to Kossuth became a no brainer,” he said. “I had a lot of people asking if I was coming. It started to just feel right.”

Smith said administration was never really a goal of his.

“My heart has always been in the classroom, but I think administrators can really help teachers become better teachers and that’s important to me,” he said.

It was his dad, longtime Alcorn Central High School staple Neal Smith, who first showed

Kossuth High School principal Travis Smith enjoys visiting his school’s classrooms including the Freshman Algebra I class taught by Donnita Ginn.

Kossuth High School Financial Officer Linda Hatcher, Secretary Sherry Rencher and Assistant Principal Shawn Mathis talk with new principal Travis Smith. his son how education can change lives.

“My dad worked hard day and night to get his degree.

My eighth grade year at Cen-

tral, he became my junior high basketball coach – it was really neat, but it wasn’t until later in life when I gave education a thought,” said the younger

Smith.

After an unsuccessful four years of college, Smith entered the local workforce at World Color.

Soon he meet his future wife.

He credits his mother, Mary Smith, and mother-in-law, Judy Miller, for encouraging him to finish his degree in education.

“It took me 10 years to finally get my degree,” he said.

He would spend the next seven years teaching U.S. History and coaching basketball at Alcorn Central, before his move to KHS as a teacher and coach.

The educator returned to college to secure his masters in education administration before taking the mission trip that would change his life.

Five months into his new career as KHS principal, Smith says he is finally truly happy.

“When I walk down the hallways, kids are always asking me why I’m smiling so much – well, what is there to be unhappy about?” he asked. “I think the smiling and the positiveness just blew up when we were in Asia and has carried over into our lives here.”

His family is also happy.

Lisa now works with Alcorn County special education students district-wide.

Occasionally riding to school with his dad, Jonah is a ninth grader at KHS. Their middle son, Jake is a senior at Ole Miss, while their oldest son, Josh, is in the U.S. Army now serving a tour in Korea.

The elder Smith said he is starting to feel accepted – within the community – more than ever.

“This is a great school and community with amazing people who are always wanting to help,” he said. “I have parents and community supporters tell me all the time, just call us if you need us – that’s a good feeling.”

“There has always been a lot of turnover at this school, and I don’t want that anymore,” he stressed.

I love what I do and I love this school – I’m here to stay,” he added. “This school – the staff, the students and this community ... we are the Aggie Family and I’m excited about the future.”

Taking care of baby brother

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

One Saturday morning, my best pal and I had big plans for the day until Mama said, “Junior, I’ll be gone until four o’clock; you’ll have to tend to your baby brother today.”

“But, Mom, with a kid tagging along, we can’t do the fun things we got planned.”

Three words killed that argument: “Mind me, boy!”

Thinking we might talk Jaybird, my boyhood best friend and mentor, into watching Jake, we went to his house.

He wasn’t home, but I noticed that a backyard shed he’d been building was finished. Encouraged by Satan, I lured Jake into the shed and locked it.

“Before Mama gets home, we’ll let him out,” I said, “She Local Honey & Sorghum

and Jaybird won’t ever know, and we’ll bring some candy bars, peanuts, and a drink from the commissary story so that he won’t tell. While there, I’ll steal some cigarettes.”

Mr. Collins, the storekeeper, knew us well, and continued reading the newspaper, paying no mind when we sauntered in.

I had no problem making the heist.

Around noon, we returned, smoked a few cigarettes, and opened the shed to release the squalling detainee, who’d been incarcerated for hours with no food or water.

“Don’t cry, Jake,” I said.

“Look — I brought you some candy, peanuts, and a soda.”

The vengeful gleam in his eyes evoked a spooky premonition that my wickedness might

not escape retribution.

What I didn’t know was that he saw me hide the cigarettes under the shed’s back wall for safekeeping until we wanted to smoke again, and put them in his pocket.

Sure enough, when Mama pulled in the driveway, Jake showed her the cigarettes.

“Look, Mama, Junior’s been smoking.”

“Boy, where’d you get those cigarettes?”

Shamefully, I admitted that I’d stolen them from the store.

“We’re going to see Mr. Collins right now!” she screamed.

When we pulled up to the store, nobody but Mr. Collins was there, but just as I volunteered to go in and confess my crime, several customers ar-

rived.

“Now, go ’fess up,” Mama said.

“But those folks know me!”

“All the better.”

Jake didn’t have to get his revenge by telling Mama we locked him in the shed; he got it by listening to me wail when she administered a painful thrashing.

Later that day, I visited Jaybird, hoping to get some consolation.

“You shoulda knowed bettuh than to smoke around Jake, knowing what a tattletale he is,” Jaybird said.

Seeing me squirm, he said, “Boy, I kin tell you is hiding sumpin’ fum me. Tell me the rest o’ de story.”

Dollar General seeks tribal suit ban

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday will take up a Mississippi case that challenges whether non-Indians can be sued in American Indian courts.

The case, brought by the Dollar General Corp. against the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, stems from a civil lawsuit brought against Dollar General in Choctaw courts.

The Tennessee-based company was sued in 2005 over allegations that a store manager made sexual advances toward a 13-year-old boy placed in his store by a tribal youth employment program. Federal authorities control criminal prosecutions on reservations and did not bring charges in the case.

A previous Supreme Court decision found that nonmembers can’t be sued in tribal court, except when they’ve consented to dealings with the tribe, for ex-

ample through a contract, lease or other business arrangement.

However, tribal and lower federal courts have ruled that the boy’s parents can pursue the civil suit, seeking $2.5 million, in tribal court.

They note that Dollar General signed a lease in the tribe’s onreservation shopping center stating that disputes would be taken to Choctaw court and governed by tribal law. They also note the store further entangled itself with the tribe when it voluntarily agreed to participate in the employment program, in which the tribe paid wages, not the store.

Dollar General, though, claims that because Congress hasn’t specifically allowed such lawsuits, the Supreme Court should ban them. They say that the Choctaws are trying to overextend their courts’ limited authority.

The case is being closely watched by other Indian tribes nationwide, who warn that Dol-

U.S. can’t access NSA data in California terror probe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government’s ability to review and analyze five years’ worth of telephone records for the married couple blamed in the deadly shootings in California lapsed just four days earlier when the National Security Agency’s controversial mass surveillance program was formally shut down.

Under a court order, those historical calling records at the NSA are now off-limits to agents running the FBI terrorism investigation even with a warrant.

Instead, under the new USA Freedom Act, authorities were able to obtain roughly two years’ worth of calling records directly from the phone companies of the married couple blamed in the attack. The period covered the entire time that the wife, Tashfeen Malik, lived in the

United States, although her husband, Syed Farook, had been here much longer. She moved from Pakistan to the U.S. in July 2014 and married Farook the following month. He was born in Chicago in 1987 and raised in southern California.

FBI Director James Comey declined to say Friday whether the NSA program’s shutdown affected the government’s terrorism investigation in California.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the FBI was poring through records for the married couple: “This includes things like their foreign travel, their contacts with other individuals, their use of social media,” he said. “There are some details of that investigation starting to dribble out, sometimes in garbled form.”

lar General could gut the authority of tribal courts and infringe on tribal sovereignty. The federal government has weighed in on behalf of the 10,000-member Choctaw band, as has Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, who wrote that granting Dollar General’s appeal would be an “unwarranted assault” on the Choctaw courts. Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon and Washington also sided with the tribe.

Taking Dollar General’s side are attorneys general from Oklahoma, Wyoming, Utah, Michigan, Arizona, and Alabama. The retailer and its supporters warn that a victory for the Mississippi Choctaws could create a rush of lawsuits in tribal courts. They raise concerns that some tribal courts rely on unwritten law, and that tribal courts could be biased.

In a legal brief, Dollar General argued that “outsiders” could be treated unfairly in tribal courts

due to “the lack of judicial training and independence” of those courts. It said this gives “rise to the risk that the law a business reasonably expected to govern its conduct will not be the law applied to it.”

The Choctaws deny such concerns. The tribe says that almost 5,000 cases have been heard since 2013 involving parties who aren’t members of the tribe, and that more than 85 percent of those cases have resulted in victories or settlement for the nonIndian party. The Choctaws say Dollar General had fair notice of tribal jurisdiction.

“What businesses may not do is enter tribal land, engage in extensive interactions with the tribe and its members, and then seek to avoid repercussions for the harm inflicted on one of the tribe’s members based on spurious legal arguments and unfounded attacks on tribal justice,” the tribe wrote in a legal brief.

Board charges Nissan with violating labor laws at plant Associated Press

JACKSON — The National Labor Relations Board is charging Nissan Motor Co. and a contract worker agency with violating workers’ rights at the company’s Mississippi plant.

Filed Monday, the charges claim Nissan illegally stifled workers’ right to wear prounion or anti-union clothing when it created a uniform policy in 2014 for its manufacturing plants in Canton, as well as in Smyrna and Decherd, Tennessee. Also charged is Kelly Services, which provides an unknown number of contract workers in Canton.

The 2014 policy, as laid out in a question-and-answer document attached to the labor board complaint, called for most employees to wear com-

pany issued pants and shirts.

Nissan spokesman David Reuter said Friday, though, that uniforms were never mandatory.

“Nissan’s uniform program is designed to help achieve the highest standards of safety and quality in all our manufacturing facilities,” Reuter wrote in an email. “Employees have been able, and will continue to be able, to wear the clothing of their choice as long as it complies with the Nissan manufacturing dress code.”

The United Auto Workers made the complaints leading to the charges. The UAW has long sought to unionize the Canton plant, but workers haven’t petitioned for a vote, and union supporters have broadly aired claims that Nissan has intimidated workers.

Killing spurs fears over visa program WASHINGTON — The woman who carried out the San Bernardino massacre with her husband came to the U.S. last year on a special visa for fiances of U.S. citizens, raising questions about whether the process can adequately vet people who may sympathize with terrorist groups.

Authorities said Friday that Pakistani citizen Tashfeen Malik, 27, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and its leader under an alias account on Facebook just moments before she and her husband, Syed Farook, opened fire on a holiday banquet for his coworkers, killing 14. They later died in a gunbattle with police Wednesday.

Malik, who had been living in Pakistan and visiting family in Saudi Arabia, had passed several government background checks and entered the U.S. in July 2014 on a K-1 visa, which allowed her to travel to the U.S. and get married within 90 days of arrival.

Malik was subjected to a vetting process the U.S. government describes as vigorous — including in-person interviews, fingerprints, checks against U.S. terrorists watch lists and reviews of her family members, travel history and places where she lived and worked.

The process was began when she applied for a visa to move to the United States and marry Farook, a 28-year-old Pakistani-American restaurant health inspector for the county who was raised in Southern California.

Greenwood police resume foot patrols

CHICAGO — Police officers who watched a colleague shoot a black Chicago teenager 16 times filed reports depicting a very different version of events than what dashcam footage showed, portraying the teen as far more menacing than he appeared in the video.

The city released hundreds of pages of documents late Friday pertaining to the October 2014 killing of 17-yearold Laquan McDonald

by Jason Van Dyke, a white police officer. Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder late last month, only hours before the department released the video under a court order, sparking protests and accusations of a cover-up.

The video, which police kept from the public for more than a year, shows McDonald veering away from officers on a four-lane street when Van Dyke, seconds after exiting his squad car, opened fire from close range. The officer continued shooting McDonald after he had crumpled to the ground and was barely moving.

In the newly-released police reports, however, several officers, including Van Dyke and his partner, described McDonald as aggressively approaching officers while armed with a knife. At least three other officers, including his partner, supported key details in Van Dyke’s version of events.

Van Dyke told an investigator that McDonald was “swinging the knife in an aggressive, exaggerated manner” and that McDonald “raised the knife across the chest” and pointed it at Van Dyke, according to one police report. Multiple officers reported that even after McDonald was down, he kept trying to get up with the knife in his hand.

Town official quits over holiday event ROSELLE PARK, N.J. — A New Jersey city council’s decision to add the word “Christmas” to the name of its tree-lighting ceremony prompted one council member to step down because it “turned it from a non-religious event to a religious one.”

Charlene Storey announced her decision just minutes after the Roselle Park council approved the change Thursday night, NJ.com reported. Her resignation takes effect Jan. 7.

Storey, who was raised Catholic but describes herself as a non-believer, said the town’s decision to change the ceremony’s name from “A Tree Lighting” to “A Christmas Tree Lighting” favors one religion and “cuts non-Christians out of the loop.”

Storey said she regretted having to resign but called the issue a matter of principle.

“I cannot in good conscience continue to be part of a council that is exclusionary or to work with a mayor who is such,” Storey said in her resignation letter.

Roselle Park Mayor Carl Hokanson praised Storey for her work on the council. He said everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but also noted that each town can use whatever title it wants to use for the ceremony.

“It’s not a street, it’s not a building, it’s a Christmas tree,” Hokanson said.

GREENWOOD — Foot patrols by police are back.

The Greenwood Police Department has begun conducting foot patrols throughout the downtown area, according to the Greenwood Commonwealth.

Police say officers will be patrolling on foot to cut down on crime and will be entering retailers and other downtown establishments as part of their patrol duties.

Mayor Carolyn McAdams says the foot patrols give people a feeling of safety.

Concern about crime has grown after a series of recent home invasions.

Police Chief Ray Moore said a sizable number of officers would be out on foot for the 80th annual Roy Martin Delta Band Festival and Christmas Parade this weekend.

Ingalls gets contract for new Navy vessel PASCAGOULA — Ingalls Shipbuilding says it has received a $200 million contract to start building an amphibious transport dock for the Navy.

The Mississippi Press reported that the company made the announcement on Friday.

The contract is called an initial procurement contract and allows Ingalls to begin the process of purchasing long lead-time materials and major equipment for the LPD 28, the Navy’s 12th amphibious transport dock of the San Antonio class. The total construction contract will be announced at a later date.

With the new contract in hand, the company can start paying for main engines, diesel generators, deck equipment, shafting, propellers, valves and other systems.

The so-called omnibus bill passed by Congress last December included $1 billion for construction of LPD 28.

“This funding demonstrates the priority the Navy places on Ingalls getting started on this important ship,” said Ingalls President Brian Cuccias.

The San Antonio class is the latest addition to the Navy’s amphibious assault force. Each ship is 684 feet long and 105 feet wide and is used to transport Marines, equipment and supplies to and from land.

The ships also support helicopters and aircraft such as the MV-22 Osprey.

The ships are used in a number of missions, including humanitarian and disaster relief tasks.

Worker dies in fall from roof of old jail HATTIESBURG — A worker was killed after he fell off the roof of the former Forrest County jail, according to authorities.

The Hattiesburg American reported that the accident happened Friday.

Deputy Coroner Lisa Klem says the man was working on the rooftop of the facility when he fell off at about 2:13 p.m. Authorities did not immediately release the worker’s name pending notification of next of kin.

The building is in downtown Hattiesburg and it has been under renovation for the past few months.

The first two floors of the five-level building will house the county’s pre-trial diversion, public defender, drug court and veterans’ court services.

The old jail has been empty since fall 2012.

Ex-cop pleads guilty to statutory rapes LONG BEACH — A former Long Beach police officer has admitted to having sex with a 15-year-old girl and

meeting her for sex while on duty.

WLOX-TV reported that 45-year-old Patrick Anthony Klis pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of statutory rape.

According to District Attorney Crosby Parker, the investigation began in April 2014 after the parents of a friend of the victim reported the alleged relationship to the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department.

Investigators determined Klis began seeing the girl in October 2013 when the victim was 14 years old. Parker said the relationship became sexual after the girl turned 15.

Forensic investigators found fake Facebook accounts Klis and the victim used to communicate. Authorities also retrieved sexually explicit instant messages between the two.

Klis faces up to 60 years in prison.

Man faces charges in hit-and-run death JACKSON — Bond has been set at $2 million for a central Mississippi man charged in a 2013 hit-and-run death.

Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain says 34-year-old Michael Edge Triplett of Flora was arrested Friday and charged with conspiracy and leaving the scene of an accident involving death. If convicted, he would face up to 20 years in prison.

The body of Maury Michelle Cole-Flint was found Dec. 21, 2013, in the median of U.S. Highway 49 in Pocahontas, north of Jackson.

Hinds County Judge Melvin Priester set bond when Triplett made his initial appearance Friday, and Triplett was being held in the Hinds County jail.

The Associated Press left a message with Triplett’s attorney, Dennis Sweet IV, who was out of the office late Friday afternoon.

Road location. “Kids love the smells. The clip called I.B. Poppin’ really smells like freshly popped popcorn, Adam Apple really smells like a ripe red apple and Dilly Yo the Pickle has that juicy dill pickle smell.”

Available in assorted scents and personalities, the Backpack Clips retail for $8 each while the Super Sniffers are $16 each.

“The price is not bad for a collectible item,” she added. “We had one little girl come to the event who had collected every one of the 12 original characters and had them all clipped to her purse.”

With his Vice President Jon Bailey in tow, Whiffer Sniffer Owner and Creator Brad Stray traveled from Atlanta to host a special character meet-and-greet with Bitsy Berry, Adam Apple and Dilly Yo the pickle.

A steady stream of several hundred people came and went as Stray and Bailey posed for photos and shared their enthusiasm

“In addition to having their pictures snapped, the children also spun the new prize wheel to earn special surprises.

“We started carrying the Super Sniffers in September,” said Null.

“Series Two is expected to launch after the first of the year so we are very excited about that.”

Medical Plaza on Harper and Gooseberry plan to have another meet and greet event after the introduction of Series Two. Launched in April, the social ‘scentsation’ brand recently made TTPM, a leading review site for toys, tots, pets and more’s Most wanted Toys List for the 2015 Holiday Season.

The original Whiffer Sniffers by Bearington was deemed the as one of the Most Wanted Toys in its Collectible Toy Category.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for the 30-page-plus special holiday edition of the Daily Corinthian coming out on Tuesday, Dec. 15.

It will be full of local features and columns and plent of advertising for holiday gift buying ideas.

Couple’s invitation to holiday party will not be in the mail DEAR ABBY: Every year my husband and I throw a formal holiday party.

We invite a small group of our closest friends, and everyone always has a wonderful time.

Over the years we have grown Abigail apart from of Van Buren some these couples.

Dear Abby This year as we were starting to plan, my husband asked if we could trim the guest list. There is one couple in particular we rarely see.

They have fallen out of favor with some of the other guests, too.

We’ve done this party for many years with the same group.

When we see this couple, they talk excitedly about it with anticipation. I feel uneasy about how to politely exclude them.

The event is mentioned on social media, and I know they’ll find out if we uninvite them.

I’m a peacekeeper.

I don’t like hurting others, especially this couple, who have a tendency to spout off when

they feel someone has offended them.

Any suggestions? -- PARTY PERSON IN THE WEST DEAR PARTY PERSON: The next time this couple -- or any of the other couples you no longer want to invite -- raises the subject of your party, tell them that you and your husband need to trim the guest list and they should make other plans for the holidays.

Do not apologize for it and don’t make excuses.

If any of the invited guests ask you why the others weren’t included, explain that you need to limit the invites to those friends you see on a regular basis.

DEAR ABBY: I have a mother-in-law-to-be problem, but not the usual one.

She doesn’t hate me -- in fact, she loves me.

She invites me to wine tastings and lunches, lets me drive her sports car, and brings me gifts when she comes to visit.

The problem is, she’s nasty to my fiance, so much so that if he ever decided not to speak to her again, I’d stand by him. It hasn’t come to that, so I’m stuck sitting silently at dinner while she berates him.

I don’t want her to dislike me (especially with the wedding

planning coming up), but I really don’t like the disrespectful way she mistreats my fiance.

What should I do? -- DAUGHTER SHE NEVER HAD DEAR DAUGHTER: Recognize that this unhealthy dynamic has likely been the status quo since your fiance was a boy, which is why he accepts her verbal abuse.

However, after your honeymoon, tell your new husband how upsetting it has been for you to listen to his mother berate him.

Suggest that he talk to a licensed therapist to understand why he tolerates it.

After that, family counseling may be in order if his mother is willing. If not, spare yourself the pain and see less of her.

TO MY JEWISH READERS: The eight days of Hanukkah begin at sundown. (I can’t believe how early it has fallen this year.)

Happy Hanukkah, everyone! A joyous Festival of Lights to all of us!

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The unknowable will remain such, but that shouldn’t stop you from reaching out to touch it with your imagination. It’s part of the kind of growing up that can happen at any age.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Name your limits. Face them and focus on them. This isn’t negative; rather, it’s a realistic way of finding your unique advantage. These days, limits are opportunities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

To write a letter is to practice a healing art. To send a letter is to flirt with regret or perhaps even marry it. Don’t send. Hold on to it. Think about it for at least a few months. It bears repeating: Don’t send.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

What is the point in being who they want you to be? You could do it, no problem. But success in fleshing out the role would only bring a victory belonging to the character you created -- not to the real you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Get ready. Opportunity is circling like luggage at the baggage claim conveyor belt. The key is in remembering to let go of the moment that’s already passed so your hands are free to grab this new one as it goes by.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You might want to get prepared to run into exactly the person, problem or entity you want nothing to do with. This isn’t a curse; it’s a blessing. You’ll be better for having undergone these preparations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Don’t doubt the power of small things. One small instance of compassion, kindness, creative problem solving, bright thinking or good manners will start a ripple that will touch lives in ways you’ll never know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Relationships hit natural highs, lows, hellos and goodbyes. It takes maturity to get comfortable with the cycle of things. You love more freely when you’re not

afraid of closing statements.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Defining your experience will be tricky. Ultimately your happiness depends on the way you frame the picture. Make it easy on yourself. Find a positive way to spin your story.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t get a lot of free time these days, and you have many choices about where to invest it. Therefore, the people you pay attention to are very lucky indeed. Do they know that?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your best opportunities spring from a chilled-out mood.

So close your eyes and conjure up a lazy scene. Your powers of imagination are all you need to relax and enjoy life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When you ask for and receive help, what does the other person want in return? If you don’t know, find out. Everything has a cost. Today, the currency is not money.

No. 2 Alabama clinches playoffs Associated Press

ATLANTA — Alabama locked up another trip to the College Football Playoff.

In all likelihood, Derrick Henry clinched the Heisman Trophy, too.

Henry rushed for 189 bruising yards and the secondranked Crimson Tide wore down No. 18 Florida with a dominating defensive performance, beating the Gators 2915 in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday.

The Crimson Tide (12-1, No. 2 CFP) held the Gators to just 3 yards of offense in the second and third quarters, assuring itself of a spot in the

semifinals at either the Cotton or Orange Bowl on New Year’s Eve. Florida, an 18-point underdog, briefly grabbed a 7-2 lead on Antonio Callaway’s 85-yard punt return for a touchdown early in the second quarter.

Alabama dominated from there.

Henry came into the game as a Heisman favorite and certainly did nothing to hurt his chances, with a staggering 44 carries against one of the nation’s top defenses to earn MVP honors. He put Alabama ahead to stay on a 2-yard run late in the first half, and looked as fresh at

the end of the game as he did at the beginning, carrying the ball right to the final seconds.

Henry tied the SEC record for touchdowns in a season (23) and eclipsed Herschel Walker’s 34-year-old conference mark for rushing yards in a year, pushing his total to 1,986 with at least one more game still to come.

The expected defensive slugfest — both teams were among the nation’s leaders in numerous categories — played out in the first half, though Alabama clearly had the superior team. The Tide led just 12-7 at the break, scoring a safety off a blocked punt, settling for a field goal

after a long drive, and turning it over deep in Florida territory.

But the Gators, likely to settle for a spot in the Citrus Bowl, simply couldn’t muster enough offense to make a game of it. There were dropped passes, wobbly passes and not even the hint of a running game. Their only offensive score came on a 46-yard pass to C.J. Worton with about 5 minutes remaining, far too late to derail Alabama’s playoff hopes.

The Tide complemented its pound-and-ground offense with a couple of huge pass-

Western Kentucky beats Southern Miss for CUSA title Associated Press

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Brandon Doughty finished off his final home game for Western Kentucky with something he didn’t believe was possible when he came to the school in 2011 — a conference championship. Doughty threw for 410 yards with three touchdown passes and Western Kentucky came from behind to defeat Southern Mississippi 45-28 in the Conference

USA Championship Game on Saturday.

“This is just the start of our program. Winning a conference championship, I would have never thought we would have done it five or six years ago. But we did it today and it’s just the start,” Doughty said. Doughty finished with 34 completions in 52 attempts, shaking off a firsthalf interception that helped put the East Division cham-

pion Hilltoppers in a 14-point first-half hole. “I don’t think we were executing early in the game. We kind of got away from it and got caught up in the moment a little bit. We had to settle down a little bit, myself included,” Doughty said.

The Hilltoppers (11-2, 8-0) trailed 21-7 at the 9:46 mark of the first half and 28-21 early in the third quarter before scoring 24 unanswered

points to put the game away and claim their first C-USA championship. Western Kentucky joined the conference two years ago.

“This is what we were shooting for, the conference championship,” Hilltoppers coach Jeff Brohm said. “Last week (against Marshall) was big for us. We got the win and got to advance to the conPlease see CUSA | 11A

No. 12 Baylor out of Sugar Bowl after 23-17 loss to Texas

BY STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

WACO, Texas — No. 12 Baylor’s season has gone from sweet to bitter and battered.

Down to a fourth quarterback because of yet another injury, the Bears lost their Sugar Bowl chance after falling 23-17 to Texas on Saturday in their regular-season finale.

“We just have to try to salvage the year by going to a bowl game and winning the

bowl game,” Baylor coach Art Briles said.

A picture-perfect day on the banks of the Brazos River, which marked the final home game for 19 seniors and standout junior receiver Corey Coleman, was marred by their third loss in four games and a bench-clearing melee in the first quarter.

“The crazy part, this is probably the best Baylor team that’s been here, and the record doesn’t say it,” said Cole-

man, the FBS leader with 20 TD catches who was recognized with the seniors before the game and confirmed afterward that he plans to forgo his senior season for early entry in the NFL draft.

Baylor (9-3, 6-3 Big 12) went into November undefeated after junior quarterback Seth Russell, then the top-rated FBS passer suffered a season-ending neck injury Oct. 24. Freshman Jarrett Stidham won his first start,

but broke a bone in his ankle in his third one before Chris Johnson started the last two games — only to get hurt Saturday.

Even after their raindrenched, double-overtime loss at TCU the night after Thanksgiving, the Bears were in line to be the Big 12’s representative in the Sugar Bowl against an SEC team, with the expectation that league Please see BAYLOR | 11A

ArDarius Stewart made an even more spectacular grab in the third quarter, going up in traffic to snare a 32yard scoring pass before flipping to the turf on his head.

Stewart hopped right back up, and Alabama was heading back to the playoffs.

Jake Coker turned

in just the sort of performance that the Tide needed out of its quarterback. He completed 18 of 26 passes for 204 yards, finishing off the Gators with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Richard Mullaney.

The defense turned in quite a performance for coordinator Kirby Smart, who is expected to be named head coach at Georgia in the next few days. But whatever happens with Smart, Alabama’s defense still has some work to do.

The Tide is heading back to the playoffs.

“I feel great about what we’ve accomplished to this point, and our reward is to go to a bowl game and see if we can add to it.” The Hilltoppers find out Sunday what bowl invitation they will receive.

Taywan Taylor had eight catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns for WKU. Nick Mullins was 15 of 30 for 181 yards with a touchdown for Southern Miss,

but threw three costly interceptions.

Western Kentucky scored on its first possession of the game on Doughty’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Antwane Grant, but the Golden Eagles (9-4, 7-1) scored 21 straight points to take a twoscore lead in the second quarter. Southern Miss benefited from two short Western Kentucky punts, getting the football at the WKU 45 and going five plays for a score with Jalen Richard capping the drive from two yards away to tie the game.

That would now be Oklahoma State (10-2).

Tyrone Swoopes, making his first start for Texas since the opener, threw for 151 yards with a touchdown and ran for another score.

The Longhorns (5-7, 4-5) held on after building a 20-0 halftime lead, but still have consecutive losing seasons for the first time since 198889 in the old Southwest Conference.

“We have something to build on that we can take into the offseason,” second-year coach Charlie

Strong said. “Not pleased with the year we had.”

“You look at it, you go beat Oklahoma, you bounce back and go on the road and go beat Baylor. I don’t have an answer for this team. I wish I did.”

“I wish every week could have been like this.”

The NCAA approved a plan this week to make teams with 5-7 records eligible for at least two bowl bids, and as many as five, based on their Academic Progress Rates. Those selections will be made in order of best available APR, and there were at least seven teams above Texas on that list.

Samardzija agrees to 5-year deal with Giants

Sunday, December 6, 2015

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants landed a top-tier starter to complement ace Madison Bumgarner, agreeing with free agent Jeff Samardzija on a $90 million, five-year contract Saturday a day after losing out on Zack Greinke.

The club said the deal will be formally announced once Samardzija passes a physical that’s scheduled for Tuesday.

“You look at his track record, you look at the presence that he brings to the mound, you look at the back-to-back-to-back 200-plus innings seasons, you realize that this guy is a force to be reckoned with,” Giants general manager Bobby Evans said on a conference call.

“There’s a reason why we targeted him. There’s a reason why we focused on him as one of our top priorities.”

This was the third large contract for a pitcher this week. David Price joined the Boston Red Sox on a $217 million, seven-year deal, then on Friday night Greinke chose the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Giants and three-time defending NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers, his former team. Sources told The Associated Press

“His numbers may be affected by the third place he’s pitched in two years. There may be some mechanical adjustments he needs to make.”

Bobby Evans Giants GM he agreed to a $206.5 million, six-year deal.

When asked whether seeing Greinke join the D-Backs over the rival Dodgers, Evans quipped: “Victory would have been the American League or Japan.”

Evans said there was never a notion that the Giants and Dodgers were the only clubs competing for Greinke.

Samardzija won 11 games this year for the Chicago White Sox for his first double-digit victory total in eight major league seasons, going 11-13 with a 4.96 ERA in 32 starts. The 30-year-old right-hander spent the second half of the 2014 season pitch-

ing in the Bay Area with the Oakland Athletics following his trade from the Chicago Cubs. The 214 innings in 2015 were the second-highest total of his career.

“This guy’s a horse, even in tough times in what they were doing in Chicago, he still put 200-plus innings on the board,” Evans said. “His numbers may be affected by the third place he’s pitched in two years. There may be some mechanical adjustments he needs to make.”

Samardzija receives a $3 million signing bonus to be paid out soon, plus an additional $6 million to be spread over the final four years of the deal in installments of $1.5 million each. He has a limited notrade clause that gives the pitcher the ability to name eight teams to which he would accept a trade.

His 2016 salary will be $9 million, then $18 million in each of the following four years plus the $1.5 million from the signing bonus.

The Giants won the World Series in 2010, ‘12 and ‘14 but missed the playoffs in the odd years, including this past season.

A top priority this offseason was to build their rotation behind Bumgarner, the 2014 World Series MVP.

“When you look at the relative performance this year, you have to connect the dots to his past performance as well and really the dominant performance at some level even in ‘14 and the freshness of his arm,” Evans said of Samardzija. “You’ve got a guy who has made the conversion from reliever to starter and has done that well. There’s a lot of innings left in that arm.”

Matt Cain was slowed by further elbow issues after surgery late in the 2014 season that cost him the postseason. Tim Hudson retired and Mike Leake and Ryan Vogelsong are free agents. Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum’s future is unclear following left hip surgery Sept. 3.

San Francisco had said there was interest in bringing back Leake, but informed the pitcher that wouldn’t be the team’s first order of business.

“Mike Leake’s still very much on the radar,” Evans said.

Getting a major deal done before next week’s winter meetings in Nashville, Tennessee, was important for the Giants brass.

“It is refreshing, especially given the relative priority our pitching staff requires,” Evans said.

Scientists, ethicists grapple with gene editing

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — A hot new tool to edit the human genetic code has a big wow factor: the promise of long-sought cures for intractable diseases.

But depending on how it’s used, that same tool could alter human heredity.

The debate has brought hundreds of scientists and ethicists from 20 countries to a highly unusual, three-day meeting in Washington on the ethics of human gene editing.

“We could be on the cusp of a new era in human history,” Nobel laureate David Baltimore of the California Institute of Technology said Tuesday

in opening the international summit to examine what he called “deep and disturbing questions.”

“The overriding question is when, if ever, would we want to use gene editing to change human inheritance?” he said.

That question gained urgency after Chinese researchers made the first attempt at altering genes in human embryos, a laboratory experiment that didn’t work well but did raise the prospect of one day modifying genes in a way that goes far beyond helping one sick person — it also could pass those alterations on to future generations.

“That really does raise the issue of, how do we

use this technology in a responsible fashion,” said molecular biologist Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley, who helped pioneer the most-used geneediting tool. Her calls for debate on its implications and boundaries led to this week’s gathering, a step that could eventually lead to research recommendations.

At issue are tools to precisely edit genes inside living cells, finding specific sections of DNA to slice and repair or replace much like a biological version of cut-and-paste software. There are a few methods but one with the wonky name CRISPRCas9 is so fast, cheap and simple for biologists to use that research is booming.

The potential is huge: Scientists are engineering animals with human-

like disorders to unravel the gene defects that fuel them. They’re developing treatments for muscular dystrophy, sickle cell disease, cancer and HIV. They’re trying to grow transplantable human organs inside pigs. They’re even hatching mutant mosquitoes designed to be incapable of spreading malaria, and exploring ways to wipe out invasive species.

One hurdle is safety.

While the CRISPR tool is pretty precise, it sometimes cuts the wrong section of DNA. Tuesday, CRISPR pioneer Feng Zhang of the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard reported Tuesday tweaking the tool’s molecular scissors to significantly lower chances of off-target editing errors — an improvement that could have implications both for

developing therapies and for germline research.

“The reality is, it will be years until this is turned into some kind of a therapy,” Doudna cautioned reporters.

Yet many scientists said it’s not too early to consider the biggest ethical quandary, that performing what’s called germline editing, manipulating reproductive cells — sperm, eggs or embryos — could spread gene changes to future generations.

In the U.S., germline editing for clinical use — meaning for pregnancy — “is a line that should not be crossed at this time,” John Holdren of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy said Tuesday.

Last spring’s experiment in China highlighted that ethics aside, embryo editing wasn’t anywhere

near ready for real-world use, because those offtarget edits risked fixing one problem only to create another.

But there’s controversy over whether and how to continue laboratory experiments to see if it eventually could work.

And just as fraudulent stem cell clinics already lure desperate patients, there’s worry about misuse of gene-editing techniques before they’re proven.

Around the world, laws and guidelines vary widely about what germline, or hereditary, research is allowed. Some ban any research; some allow only lab research but not pregnancies; some have no policies. In the U.S., the National Institutes of Health won’t fund germline research but private funding is allowed.

More people who are overweight or obese may get screened for diabetes under new guidelines released this week by a panel of prevention experts. Those whose blood sugar is higher than normal now can be referred to nutrition and exercise counseling without paying anything out of pocket for it.

“Obesity and overweight have been risk factors all along for diabetes,” says Dr. Wanda Filer, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians. “But we haven’t had guidelines that actually said, ‘Screen

those folks.’”

Under the health law, insurers have to cover preventive services that receive a grade of A or B from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel of experts, without charging patients.

The new guidelines update the task force’s 2008 recommendation, which advised screening asymptomatic adults if they had high blood pressure. After reviewing the evidence on which this recommendation was based and incorporating findings from new studies, the task force concluded that there is a moderate ben-

efit in screening a broader pool of people for abnormal blood sugar levels, including adults between the ages of 40 and 70 who are overweight or obese.

The task force also concluded that the evidence is now sufficient to recommend lifestyle interventions such as diet and exercise counseling as a way to prevent or delay the development of diabetes.

In the past, Filer says, if a 55-year-old patient was overweight and she wanted to order a blood glucose screening test, some insurers balked at covering the test. She would sometimes have to justify

it by stating that the patient was complaining of fatigue, for example.

Now, insurers must cover the screening tests as well as counseling at the primary care practice office or off site at a hospital or elsewhere in the community.

“Health plans were generally supportive of this recommendation, although there are concerns about the lack of direct evidence that measuring blood glucose leads to improved health outcomes,” said Clare Krusing, a spokeswoman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade group.

If his boss had not out for a command of his been wounded, howev- own.

Joseph was offered er, it is very possible the medal would have gone the command of a cavalry regiment, which he to another man.

Joseph Lee Kirby Smith declined with the jest was born into a military that he “could not shoe a family in July of 1836, in horse.” A short time later Syracuse, NY. His father Gov. William Dennison Ephraim Kirby Smith was of Ohio offered him the an army officer, ranked head of an infantry regi41st in the West Point ment. On the 28th day of class of 1826. He didn’t September, 1861, he was care too much for his first commissioned Colonel of name and preferred to be the 43rd Ohio Infantry.

The 43rd Ohio was known as E. Kirby Smith.

The elder Kirby Smith assigned to Gen. John was killed during the Pope’s Army of the MisMexican War when Jo- sissippi and they played seph was only eleven a supporting role in the siege and capture of Isyears old.

E. Kirby Smith had land No. 10 and New Maa younger brother, Ed- drid, Missouri.

With the fall of the mund. When the former was killed in battle his Confederate strongholds brother, another West on the Mississippi, Pope’s Pointer, shortened his army was sent up the own name and took to Tennessee to Hamburg calling himself E. Kirby Landing to prepare for Smith. Confusing? You the march on Corinth.

The army set out on bet, and to a lot of people. The second E. Kirby April 29 for Corinth, Smith would become a twenty-eight miles away.

Confederate lieutenant- It was the first or second day of the march and the general.

Later, during the war, regiment was making Joseph would write, good time. Colonel Smith “Years ago he stole my was at the rear of the father’s good name, and column encouraging the now he has betrayed his men to keep up and not country’s flag. If I could straggle.

Along comes a guy on meet him in battle, with force enough to thor- a horse demanding to oughly beat him, it would pass through so he could do my soul good; and be the first to reach the I would like to capture camp site. Smith asked him, that I might tell him this important fella who how his kindred and his he was and the civilian former comrades despise puffed out his chest and him.” Alas, it was not to very pompously replied he was the new sutler for be.

Following in the foot- the 43rd Ohio. (A sutler steps of his father and was a contractor selling uncle, Joseph attended personal items to the solWest Point and did very diers.) “Oh you are the

E. Kirby Smith sutler, are you? Then I’ll give way immediately.”

Smith made a show of moving to the side and threw a parting shot, “… for I am nothing but the durned Colonel!”

We’ve all heard tales of the sickness that swept through the Corinth camps in the spring and summer of ’62 and Joseph was one of the victims. Col. John Fuller of the 27th Ohio was struck down as well and the two applied for a leave of absence to go home and recuperate. The brigade commander, Gen. David Stanley, saw how sick they were, concurred with the request and sent it up to Gen. Rosecrans for final approval.

Rosecrans was livid, “What! Grant a leave to two colonels at once, and of the same brigade!

I can’t think of it!” “All right,” said General Stanley, “but if you don’t give them a leave, God Almighty will, pretty soon.”

Rosecrans signed the

leave requests.

The two colonels, now fast friends, returned hale and hearty in September and Fuller was placed at the head of the brigade, while Stanley advanced to division command.

Fuller’s all-Ohio brigade (27th, 39th, 43rd and 63rd) marched out of Jacinto on September 17 with the rest of Rosecrans’ army with a goal of catching Sterling Price’s Confederates at Iuka.

They were near the end of the column and played no part in the battle two days later.

Another big fight was brewing. General Van Dorn with 22,000 men marched north from Ripley on September 30 with a goal of retaking Corinth. Rosecrans knew Van Dorn was on the march but was not sure if he was headed to Corinth or Bolivar, TN. Colonel Smith and the 43rd were dispatched south on October 2 to Kossuth to keep an eye on things in

that quarter.

It turns out that Van Dorn had marched north to Pocahontas, TN and was approaching Corinth from the north-west; Smith and his men were way off in the wrong direction.

They were quickly turned around and arrived in Corinth the next afternoon justin-the-nick-of-time to halt the final Confederate advance of the day.

As dusk was falling Fuller placed his brigade on either side of Battery Robinett; the 43rd on the west side between the fort and Battery Williams.

The other three regiments were on the east side, stretching down the slope to Elam Creek (the modern intersection of Fulton and Linden).

October 4. Reveille came at 4 a.m. when the Confederates commenced an artillery bombardment, killing or wounding a dozen of Smith’s soldiers. At dawn the men began to brace for an attack. Smith quipped to Gen. Stanley how he had been wondering how he would react under fire when the bullets were flying. He was about to find out.

Van Dorn’s assault was delayed but at 11 a.m. his soldiers attacked Battery Robinett from the northwest. And here was the rub: Smith’s men were facing southwest, toward a different Confederate division sitting quietly across Turner Creek.

They were facing the wrong direction.

Fuller directed Smith to “change front forward’ but Smith had anticipated the move and was already shouting orders.

It was a complicated maneuver, particularly during a battle. The guy on the far right stood still while everybody on his left moved forward.

It looked like the closing of a big door. Fuller later said it was done as well as if it was conducted on a parade ground.

It was completed none too soon as the 42nd Alabama and 2nd Texas came crashing through the abatis of fallen trees.

Christmas is naughtier than nice in new novel

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER

So you like a little spice with your Christmas nog? Or maybe some extra pepper in your peppermints? Then “Naughtier than Nice” will make you very jolly.

“Naughtier than Nice”

by Eric Jerome Dickey c.2015, Dutton $25.95 / $33.95 Canada 357 pages You have to tell somebody.

There’s a secret inside you, one you’ve been keeping far too long and you’re about to burst.

You need to talk about it. You need some advice, some perspective. As in the new novel “Naughtier than Nice” by Eric Jerome Dickey, if you don’t talk about this issue soon, it could be the death of you.

Last Christmas Eve had been a memorable one for Frankie McBroom, for the wrong reasons: that was the day she spent thinking about how to cancel her wedding to Franklin Carruthers. He’d been her soul mate, her one-andonly… until she discovered that he was a married man.

As the eldest McBroom sister, Frankie felt as though she needed to set an example and she fought hard to forget Franklin . She wished her relationship with him had been like what youngest sister Tommie

had with her Blue. Or like what middle sister Livvy had with Tony. But no, Frankie had something else altogether.

Tommie McBroom felt bad that she was cheating on her fiancé.

Down deep, she loved Blue but he’d betrayed her: he knew how much she wanted a family and

yet he’d had surgery to prevent it, which proved that he didn’t care about her. Beale Streets, on the other hand, listened to her. Yes, Beale was a few years younger than Tommie, but that didn’t matter when they were making love.

The delicate chain surrounding Livvy Mc-

Broom-Barrera’s ankle spoke to Livvy of different times, of days when she and Tony were estranged and she first slept with a woman. The charm on the chain reminded her of things she learned, and lovers who disappeared from her life so suddenly. She thought of them often – especially when she and Tony brought another woman to their bed.

It was hard to believe that a year had gone by since Frankie caught Franklin in a lie. So much had happened since last Christmas, so much that wasn’t discussed. Tommie’s life was taking a turn. Livvy’s life seemed to be going backwards.

And Frankie? She was dealing with a blown-up phone, an acid-ruined car, bricks through her windows, belongings rearranged in her home.

Frankie was dealing with a stalker…

So you like a little spice with your Christmas

nog? Or maybe some extra pepper in your peppermints? Then “Naughtier than Nice” will make you very jolly.

In this somewhatsequel, author Eric Jerome Dickey made a list of everything you want in a holiday drama – cheating, scandalous pasts, sex, murder, and light humor – and it’s obviously checked twice to add even more of the above. Although this book can be read as a standalone, readers then get to revisit some of Dickey’s best characters from other novels.

His usual themes are mashed-up, and there’s a very nice gotcha or three scattered throughout this book.

That, and the fastmoving action, made me ho-ho-ho for this not-soholiday holiday book and Dickey fans old and new will love it. Just beware: start “Naughtier than Nice” and you’ll just have to tell somebody.

firing at you Colonel!”

“Well give it to them,” Joseph responded and was then instantly hit by a bullet.

The minie ball entered under his right nostril and exited out his left ear.

It was a terribly bloody wound and knocked him from his horse. There was a short-lived panic when the men thought he was dead but Lt. Col. Wager Swayne soon restored order.

But Kirby Smith was not dead. He was taken to one of the hospitals where he regained consciousness and his first act was to ask (by writing) about his men.

He lingered for eight days, rallied to the point where he was up and walking about, and then relapsed, suddenly dying on October 12.

In his official report Stanley wrote, “I have not words to describe the qualities of this model soldier, or to express the loss we have sustained in his death, the best testimony I can give to his memory is the spectacle I witnessed myself, in the very moment of battle, of stern, brave men weeping like children, as the word passed ‘Kirby Smith is killed!’”

Gen. Alpheus Williams was even more expansive, “His heart was so given to the cause of his country, and he was so free from selfish considerations; he was so capable, so brave, so self-reliant without vanity, so patient and so persevering in the line of duty.”

It was Lt. Col. Swayne who was awarded the Medal of Honor but it was Joseph Kirby Smith’s quick actions that not only saved his regiment but quite possibly the key position of Battery Robinett, and even, perhaps, the entire battle. Well done, Colonel.

He is buried in the Oakwood Cemetery, Syracuse, New York.

Oh, and by the way, about his estranged uncle Edmund, in 1882 he named his own son Joseph Lee Kirby Smith.

There was no stealing of a name this time, this was done out of pure respect.

Stolen bust of Lincoln found at Gettysburg Associated Press

GETTYSBURG, Pa. — A bust of Abraham Lincoln that was stolen from outside a museum near where he delivered the Gettysburg Address has been found.

Hall of Presidents and First Ladies Museum manager Rose Little says the bust was found in a nearby cemetery’s bushes by some out-of-state visitors on Friday.

She tells the Gettysburg Times the visitors called the museum to report the discovery and delivered the bust to her.

Rose says it appears to be in good shape, with just a bit of mud caked on it.

She says the museum will clean it and “put President Lincoln back up on the pedestal where he belongs.”

The bust was stolen sometime between Nov. 22 and Nov. 23, coming just days after the city celebrated the 152nd anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address on Nov. 19.

Engagement

Flatley hits road for final bow

BY MARK KENNEDY AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK — Michael Flatley’s ailing legs will apparently be healthy enough for one last American tour.

The trailblazing former “Riverdance” star said Thursday he and his farewell show, “Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games,” will strike out on the road and hit such cities as Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas and Los Angeles after his stint ends on Broadway early next year.

“We have heard requests from our fans across the country who could not make it to New York to bring the show to them and we have decided to do a small tour of the U.S.,” Flatley said in a statement. “I haven’t performed in America for years and we are really looking forward to ending this

The bride-elect is a graduate of Collierville High School and The University of Memphis, with a degree in Early Childhood Education and Board Certified Pharmacy Technician. She is presently employed with Walgreens Pharmacy.

The prospective groom is a graduate of Corinth High School and The University of Mississippi with a degree in Business Marketing and Management.

He is presently employed at Avectus Healthcare Solutions.

After a honeymoon in Tulum, Mexico, the couple will reside in Corinth.

ing infused with tap and modern dance.

Flatley, born into a blue-collar Irish-American family in Chicago, was catapulted to fame after creating “Riverdance,” which was first performed as a seven-minute interval break in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994.

He and dancer Jean Butler helped extend it into a full-length show and it opened at Dublin’s Point Theatre in 1995, at a time of renewed Irish optimism and pride surrounding the onset of the booming “Celtic Tiger” economy.

Flatley, 57, went on to create his own shows, “Feet of Flames” and “Celtic Tiger.” His “Lord of the Dance” premiered in 1996 and has been seen by more than 60 million people in 60 different countries, including 400,000 during a fiveyear residency in Las Vegas.

‘Morning’ wonders where viewers went

Miss Caitlin Michelle Arnold and Mr. Holland Coleman Yeates will exchange wedding vows at 5 in the evening, on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015, at Mallard’s Croft in Byhalia, Miss.

The bride-elect is the daughter of Greg and Stacey Arnold of Collierville, Tenn. She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. John and Billie Arnold of Bedford, Texas, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred and Karen Axline of Keller, Texas, and the late Mr. Lloyd Rodgers of Benton, Ill. The prospective groom is the son of Chuck and Deborah Yeates of Corinth. He is the grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. Leon and Virginia Yeates of Starkville, and

tour and my time on stage with a bang!”

Flatley’s 17-city U.S. tour kicks off in Sunrise, Florida, on Feb. 19, and then goes to Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Colorado, California, Arizona and Washington, D.C. It ends on March 17 — St. Patricks’s Day — at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Flatley currently is starring in an eight-week engagement on Broadway at the Lyric Theatre that will run through Jan. 3. He appears at the encore of each evening show, dancing alongside holographic movies of his iconic dances.

The tour will mark his official retirement from dancing. He’s said he’s been suffering from spinal, knee, foot and rib pain — the result of years of Irish step-danc-

NEW YORK — For the past few years, turning on ABC’s “Good Morning America” was like happening upon a joyous party. Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos and their pals all seemed nice, and looked like they loved being together.

It was almost always a good time.

The party isn’t over.

But it’s getting late.

Television’s top morning show is in its first prolonged slump since overtaking NBC’s “Today” in popularity three years ago. “GMA” is losing viewers, most rapidly among a younger demographic that advertisers eagerly seek, where NBC has wrested back the lead from its rival.

The search is on for those missing viewers, many of whom ABC executives suspect have turned off morning television altogether, and for ways to lure them back.

The “Good Morning America” typical daily audience is 4.9 million, or 11 percent smaller than last season, the Nielsen company said.

Among 25-to-54-yearolds, the decline is 19 percent. “Today” now leads among that group not because it is surging — the NBC show is down 4 percent from last year — but because it is losing audience more slowly.

The demo number is the key to a vault, since advertisers check it first when making spending decisions.

“Today” is feeling bullish. Its team is clicking, with Matt Lauer appearing more comfortable than he has in years. The show’s aggressiveness in seeking interviews has paid off, most recently with Charlie Sheen’s revelation that he is HIVpositive.

But ABC’s bigger concern may be smartphones on the bedside table. Morning television usage peaked at 40.7 million viewers three years ago and has dropped by two million since, Nielsen said. Some

people who used to turn on TV for a quick check of the headlines and weather now likely do that online.

To that end, “GMA” executives are emphasizing live events and features to convey a sense that people will be missing out on something important if they don’t turn on the TV. They turned to social media, for example, to heavily promote Roberts’ interview with Kobe Bryant this week.

“Good Morning America” has suffered turnover the past couple of years, with Josh Elliott leaving for NBC Sports and Sam Champion for The Weather Channel.

The short-term ratings impact was minimal, but long-term may be different.

“It’s really who you want to spend time with for two hours in the morning,” said Brad Adgate, an analyst for Horizon Media, “and they may have done something to change the mix of what people are comfortable with.”

One thing beyond a television producer’s control is the cultural zeitgeist, and a sense that a program is no longer in tune with the times.

To some, the “GMA” celebration of its 40th anniversary last month

less than a week after the Paris attacks felt jarring.

This is a serious, newsy stretch of time, with people on edge over terrorism and mass shootings on an endless loop.

Next year’s presidential election has attracted unprecedented attention a year in advance. Morning shows are a combination of news and entertainment, and nothing annoys ABC executives more than a suggestion they don’t have the news chops to compete. Yet while “GMA” ratings are down this season, the more sober and traditional “CBS This Morning” is up 7 percent in viewers.

ABC executives aren’t talking publicly about what’s going on with the show and, privately, they’re not fully sure what has happened to the “Good Morning America” audience. They don’t feel it is a rejection of the show.

“We never take for granted the position that we’re in and we work every day to bring our viewers a smart, innovative show to start their day,” Michael Corn, senior executive producer of the broadcast, said in a statement. “We are laser focused on this mission and making ‘GMA’ essential to our viewers.”

Designers channel ‘Star Wars’ geekdom for charity auction Associated Press

NEW YORK — Chewbacca never had it so good.

The ultra-hairy “Star Wars” character isn’t known for his fashion sensibility, but he was the inspiration for not one but two highly furry ensembles displayed Tuesday by designers indulging their inner “Star Wars” geekdom with new looks — to be auctioned off for charity — as fans hotly await the seventh installment later this month, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

The dozen or so garments in the “Force 4 Fashion” collection — by the likes of Diane von Furstenberg, Rag & Bone and Opening Ceremony

— were based mainly on new characters in the latest film, but also a few veterans. Most recognizable were the stormtrooper ensembles created by Ovadia & Sons, which presented a floor-length boxy white coat with black trim.

As for Chewie, he inspired a luscious merino shearling coat by Billy Reid, lined with brown leather and paired with a white turtleneck sweater and gray wool track pants. The creature was also embodied in a furry Todd Snyder ensemble, pairing a brown coat with white top and tan pants.

Some designers went for the glamour. Diane von Furstenberg incorporated her signature “wrap”

Cryptoquip

effect into a gold, filmy ensemble for Rey, the new film’s female protagonist, played by Daisy Ridley.

Parker presented a glittery Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), inspired by ancient tribal warriors; the same character got a dramatic printed gown from Giles Deacon.

Disney and Bloomingdale’s are partnering for the fundraising initiative; proceeds from the auction will go to the Child Mind Institute. A separate auction will feature a custom, bejeweled BB-8 created

by Kay Jewelers, weighing more than one and a half pounds and made of gold and diamonds. Proceeds from that auction will go to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
