County road faces issues

He offered to carry the bike

A recently resurfaced section of Kendrick Road may have to be redone, and Alcorn County is asking residents to use caution until temporary striping is in place.

Completion of the project has been on hold after it was discovered that the chip seal surface on a section of Kendrick through the State Aid Program does not meet specifications.

The work was done by a contractor.

“It was kind of a wait-and-see deal about two weeks ago to see if what they put down would actually work,” said County Engineer Kent Geno. “We know now it’s not going to stick, the liquid asphalt that they used. Naturally, you don’t want to come in there and fog seal and stripe with that situation.”

Some of the gravel is not sticking to the mixture that was used.

The county plans to request temporary striping be put on the road. It is expected the section from just east of Fraley’s Chapel to Mississippi 350 will have to be redone, and it is un-

Books-A-Million bookseller Danielle Dalton is a relatively new arrival to the Crossroads area. Born in Louisiana, the 22-year-old Dalton grew up in Tennessee and moved to Iuka six months ago, and then to Corinth a month back, to her current home on Thomas Street.

For the last six months she has worked at Corinth’s Books-AMillion, enjoying the perks of the job — getting to read books from the store’s inventory. “I’ve read about 20 books since I got here,” said Dalton. “I would’ve read more, but you don’t really have much time.” Dalton said she enjoys books in the fantasy genre, like the Harry Potter series and Irish author Michael Scott’s “The Alchemyst” series.

She is also an avid gamer, from card games like Magic: The Gathering to a wide variety of video games.

An MEC task force recommends an infusion of $375 million for improvements to roads at the state and local level.

The group has suggested the Legislature consider various options to generate the funds. Waller said it would cost the average driver less than $2 per week but would save more in reduced operating costs for car repairs.

Sixty percent of those at the MEC talk said they would strongly support a reasonable increase in taxes and fees to generate funds to be spent only on roads and bridges. Thirty-one percent said they would somewhat support such a plan. “The single most relevant and important economic development eort I have seen anywhere was right here in Mississippi with the 1987 AHEAD highway program, which brought a four-lane highway within 30 miles of every Mississippian,â€? said MEC President Blake Wilson.

In 1935, the Downtown Athletic Club of New York honored college football player Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago with the DAC Trophy, which later became known as the Heisman Trophy.

In 1940, British troops opened their first major offensive in North Africa during World War II. In 1958, the anticommunist John Birch Society was formed in Indianapolis.

In 1962, the Petrified Forest in Arizona was designated a national park.

In 1965, Nikolai V. Podgorny replaced Anastas I.

The Arts in McNairy cast will perform the story of how one little girl’s belief in Santa will warm your heart.

This program is based on the Twentieth Century Fox motion picture and is familiar to most everyone from the many adaptions on television. A Corinth man is in the lead role.

Arts in McNairy will present “Miracle on 34th Street” in three performances. Opening night will be Friday at 7:30 p.m., the show will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, and will conclude with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets will cost $10 for adults and $5 for children.

“I’m very excited because our cast has really worked really hard to get ready for this performance,” said Binger. “They have not had the time we normally have to prepare for a play, but they have worked hard on their characters and learned

their lines.”

What we want Christmas to be all about, really,” so writes the Santa Cruz Sentinel of this most heart-

warming holiday story.

Officials propose cuts for coming year

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Top lawmakers are proposing a Mississippi budget that would be 3 percent smaller for the coming year.

The Joint Legislative Budget Committee met Thursday, and members adopted a recommendation for the state to spend almost $6.2 billion during fiscal 2018, which begins July 1. That is a reduction of $195.3 million from the current year.

“I would advise agencies to pay strong attention to this budget recommendation and to begin working with the Legislature to find ways to continue offering essential services while operating at the leanest levels possible,” said House Speaker Philip Gunn, RClinton.

The committee recommends spending roughly the same on K-12 education in the coming year, even though legislators could rewrite the school funding formula based on recommendations that will be made by a consulting group in the next several weeks.

The budget proposal includes a $20.4 million increase in funding for schools that show academic improvement.

Schools could receive up to $100 per pupil for maintaining a high accreditation level, or for improving their ratings from one year to the next.

The proposal includes $300,000 to give pay raises to Department of Public Safety officers and $600,000 to pay salaries at the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights

Merry Christmas

Museum. The two museums are scheduled to open in December 2017 in Jackson.

Among the programs that could see spending cuts under the committee’s proposal are Medicaid, universities, community colleges, mental health and prisons.

This is just an early plan, though. The House and Senate face a deadline in late March to agree on final details of the budget.

Legislators also could consider budget recommendations released last month by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant.

Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said the legislative recommendation includes tax reductions that were signed into law earlier this year and are being phased in over several years, including during fiscal

take travel spending back down to fiscal 2012 levels. They said the state could save $19 million by putting a one-year hold on the purchase of vehicles. And, they said the state could save $13 million by removing civilservice protection from jobs in most state agencies, which make it easier for agency directors to hire or fire workers.

Legislators also recommend cutting $4.5 million from the roughly $25 million to $35 million that is being spent on remedial courses for students at community colleges and universities. Gunn said he has already spoken to the state superintendent of education and the heads of the community college and university systems about eliminating duplication in remedial programs.

2018. The law is supposed to reduce taxes by $415 million over 12 years by phasing out the franchise tax, reducing the personal income tax and lowering taxes on self-employment.

Both Bryant and the Legislative Budget Committee recommend that the state spend only 98 percent of anticipated revenue, putting the other 2 percent into savings.

The state has had a rule requiring the 2 percent set-aside for more than two decades, but it has often been ignored when revenue has fallen short of expectations in a sluggish economy.

Legislators recommend deleting 1,999 vacant jobs in state government, but did not say how much money that would save. They recommend cutting $12 million for travel, which would

Why pollsters didn’t see Trump’s win

BY DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Even as Donald Trump begins to form his administration, people are still wondering why the nation’s top polling organizations failed to spot his surge in the campaign’s final weeks. The reasons they were wrong are important to any retrospective analysis of the election and offer a major lesson for future polling. But more important still is that we recognize that our failure to follow the opinions of the white, high school graduate men who delivered the election to Trump is a national blind spot. It is akin to the old days when we did not recognize gender gap as political reality.

Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by winning white, high school graduate men in the last three weeks of the election. It was this late surge -- more than any other factor -that caused his victory and enabled him to break up Hillary Clinton’s “blue wall” of the Democratic states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

According to the Fox News poll, Trump led among white high school graduate men by 14 points three weeks before Election Day. Two weeks out, he doubled his margin to 30 points. With only a week to go, his lead in this demographic swelled to 40 points. And according to exit polls on Election Day itself, he beat Clinton 67-20 -- by 47 points -- among this demographic. Similarly situated white women also went for Trump but by smaller margins.

How did the polling firms miss it?

They focused obsessively on the black vote, the Latino vote, and the female vote, but not at all on the white, high school educated vote.

It just didn’t occur to them. It was not in their lexicon of political trends. When these voters began to tip toward Trump heavily, they never noticed it. The pollsters did not include this demographic in their data and did not report it to the journalists who recounted the survey results. Methodologically, they probably lumped white high school men in with all other high school grads, whether black or Hispanic or white or male or female. So they could not spot the trend among this crucial group.

Because these voters were not black or Latino or female or (necessarily) young, they didn’t count. They were 20 percent of the American electorate, but they were never entitled to their own subset in the polling. Their votes were just churned into the national trends.

And because the pollsters and media didn’t follow the sharp tilt of white high school men toward Trump in the final three weeks, they did not see any reason to commit resources to tracking in Michigan, Wisconsin or Pennsylvania. The election would be decided in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina. The Rust Belt states wouldn’t matter, because they were Clinton’s “blue wall.”

So now white men with high school educations have finally earned their place in the sun. We will, hopefully, track their views in polls and focus groups and will understand that their power is at the core of the emerging identity politics of America.

Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, help me to understand that my life grows out of what I put into my days. Forgive me for the unspoken words and the kind deeds which I kept for rare days, and had so few occasions to use. May I be as useful in kindness as I am in work, remembering that to thee every day is a golden day. Amen.

A verse to share And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Pearl Harbor anniversary illustrates change STARKVILLE — Can it be that 75 years have passed since the “Greatest Generation” of Americans had to endure and respond to the bombing of Pearl Harbor?

On Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese empire launched a sneak attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii – sinking or crippling all eight American battleships in port and destroying all the U.S. and British aircraft in the Pacific, killing over 2,400 military personnel and injuring 1,178.

The bombing raid afforded Japan control of onequarter of the Earth’s surface for a time. The Pearl Harbor attack was a sobering tragedy that quickly galvanized America into a united nation willing and ready to suffer and sacrifice to avenge those whose lives were taken with such utter disregard for human suffering.

To suggest that Americans were angry after Pearl Harbor is an understatement.

Memories of the inferno that was the USS Arizona and the 1,177 men who died and were entombed in the battleship led the U.S. government to eventually exact a nuclear punishment on the cities of Hiroshima and

Nagasaki on the Japanese mainland to force an end to the conflict begun on the date Sid Salter that Franklin Roosevelt Columnist told our nation would “live in infamy.”

In 2016, we live in a very different world than did my parents and their parents in 1941. Even for Roosevelt and his War Department in 1941, information that properly conveyed the scope of the damage and the devastating losses inflicted on the U.S.

by Japan that day was slow and hard to access.

The American public, most of whom received immediate news by commercial radio, was even more in the dark. There was no CNN, no satellite phone streaming, no drone camera footage, not smart phones in the hands of virtually everyone to afford “crowd sourcing” of news with attached videos.

Americans like my mom and her parents waited, agonized and prayed. Days later, she would learn that her U.S. Marine brother stationed at Pearl Harbor had survived.

But from Pearl Harbor for-

ward to the end of World War II, U.S. citizens were in great measure days or weeks behind in information about the progress of the war and the fate of their loves ones who were fighting it.

By era of the Vietnam Conflict, news from that war zone became more immediate and disturbing. Gone was the media’s WWII-era concern for the national morale. Vietnam brought us “the living room war” and the nightly TV newscasts brought the true horrors of war into U.S. homes in living color. What the citizens saw wasn’t like the John Wayne movies.

Fast-forward to the 9-11 attacks and the subsequent military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 9-11 attacks were essentially played out in real time on live television all over the world. The media sanitized – to a degree – some of the worst of the sights of the falling bodies around the World Trade Center, but unlike Pearl Harbor the 9-11 attacks left Americans immediately convinced that the world had changed forever.

Pearl Harbor tipped the scales and plunged the U.S. into WWII in much the same way that the 9-11 attacks

erased the false sense of security that many Americans previously felt that terrorism was a malady reserved for the Middle East and Europe.

But technology has made the world smaller and the news instantly immediate in the 75 years since 353 Japanese planes rained bombs down on the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor. Patriotism and service to country were rarely challenged or debated in that era.

Today, those debates are likewise instantaneous and often bitter. As we saw after 9-11, Americans still know how to unite and appreciate the freedoms we have.

Some, many, were still willing to take up arms to defend those freedoms – and did.

But as we saw in the presidential election, divisions remain deep in the country.

It shouldn’t take cataclysms like Pearl Harbor or 9-11 to quiet those angry divisions, but the fact it that still does.

I wonder what the brave men entombed in the USS Arizona 75 years ago would make of that?

To kill a pipeline — again One of the Obama administration’s core competencies is suspending pipeline projects with no cause.

It will leave office with another notch in its belt, now that the Army Corps of Engineers has acted to block a final piece of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The 1,200mile pipeline is designed to move oil from North Dakota to Illinois and will have to await completion in a Trump administration with a more rational attitude toward pipelines specifically and fossil fuels generally.

The story of the Dakota Access Pipeline will be familiar to anyone who followed the controversy over the Keystone XL pipeline.

As with Keystone, the builders of the pipeline have taken years to dutifully check every environmental and bureaucratic box, only to get stymied when protesters -- this time a Native American tribe -- made the project a hate totem for the left.

With Keystone, the narrative was that the pipeline would doom the planet by bringing to market oil from the tar sands of Canada.

With Dakota Access, the

narrative is that Native Americans are once again getting railroaded by Rich greedy inLowry terests who don’t care National about their Review history or their welfare. After the decision by the Army Corps, one demonstrator told the press that the victory was “due to our people for the hundreds of years of genocide and oppression,” which is putting a lot of weight on what should be a routine bureaucratic decision to approve an otherwise unremarkable pipeline.

The protests have been led by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe of North Dakota. The tribe alleges that the Dakota Access project will trample on culturally sensitive sites and taint its drinking water, without much in the way of supporting evidence.

The dispute centers around the pipeline’s planned crossing of the

Missouri River at Lake Oahe. This isn’t exactly virgin territory. Around the lake, the pipeline will run within 22 to 300 feet of the existing Northern Border Gas Pipeline, which has been in service since 1982 and hasn’t devastated the Standing Rock tribe. The pipeline also tracks with an overhead utility line.

A decision by a federal judge in September to reject a bid by the Standing Rock tribe to block the pipeline cataloged how deliberate the developers of Dakota Access have been about culturally sensitive sites.

According to the opinion, the company found 149 potentially sensitive sites in its own surveying in North Dakota. It modified the route to avoid 140 of them and came up with a plan with the state of North Dakota to limit any effect on the other nine. It will run the pipeline with horizontal drilling in sensitive areas, allowing its installation without a trench and with minimal disruption.

Throughout most of this process, representatives of the Standing Rock tribe

did all they could to make themselves unavailable and unresponsive. When the Army Corps invited them to a general meeting to discuss the pipeline in November 2015, five tribes attended, but not Standing Rock.

In the spring of 2016, the Corps coordinated with the pipeline’s developers to allow tribes to conduct their own cultural surveys at locations around the route.

Three tribes participated; Standing Rock did not. The tribal surveys identified additional sites of concern, where Dakota Access duly agreed to take additional protective measures.

There is no real defense, though, against protesters staging cable-TV-ready disturbances against a project and making it a cause celebre.

For the left, Dakota Access is a symbol. In reality, it is simply a means of moving half a million barrels of crude oil a day from Point A to Point B, an activity that shouldn’t be considered dastardly. Fortunately for Dakota Access, and everyone else in the energy industry, help is on the way.

The day when Japan awakened a world giant

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Born December 7, 1923, my father was 18 years old on that day which will live in infamy: December 7, 1941.

When Dad learned that several thousand fellow Americans had been killed in Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, he knew what he had to do. Leaving behind a wife and baby son (me), he joined the Navy.

Two men would play key roles in those years during which my father served. One was Isoroku Yamamoto, Admiral of the Japanese fleet that pounced on the unaware and unprepared Americans at Pearl Harbor.

A seasoned warrior, Yamamoto knew that delivering an overwhelmingly effective first blow often leads to rapid conclusion of conflict.

But something about the foe that he had struck with such devastation troubled the admiral.

He suspected that rather than hasten surrender, his strike would galvanize into action not only America’s military, but also her people. Voicing his trepidation, he said, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

Much of this resolve started with a brilliant naval strategist: Admiral Chester Nimitz. On the night of December 7, 1941, he was enjoying a concert when President Roosevelt sent word to him that the Pacific fleet docked at Pearl Harbor had almost been annihilated.

Departing immediately for Hawaii, Nimitz arrived to find scenes of unimaginable destruction, despair, and worst of all, a pervasive sense of defeat.

As newly appointed admiral of the Pacific Fleet, Nimitz formulated a plan to rapidly restore the navy’s fighting capability and use it to pursue the attacker across the Pacific,

island by island, battle by battle, and return a blow to Yamamoto’s homeland that would dwarf his blow on American soil.

Nimitz observed three mistakes Yamamoto made.

Timing was the first.

Since it was a Sunday morning, most of the crewmen had been granted passes the day before and were not on board their ships. Had Yamamoto forced the Americans to meet him in battle at sea, Nimitz estimated the loss of lives might have been ten times greater: more like 24,000 than approximately 2,400.

Yamamoto’s next catastrophic error was his failure to destroy the navy’s repair facilities on shore. Had he done so, the damaged ships would have had to be towed to America’s west coast for repair.

With the dry docks intact, tugs could raise them from the shallow sea bottom and tow them ashore.

Round-the-clock repair crews would have them seaworthy in the time it would have taken to have them towed to California.

Finally, Nimitz observed that if the Japanese Zero fighter planes had strafed the navy’s fuel storage tanks, all of which were above ground, no fuel would have been left to power the rebuilt ships.

Admiral Nimitz turned these mistakes into a springboard for action and fulfilled his nation’s resolve not only to recover from the vicious attack, but also to defeat Japan.

He had no doubt — nor did Yamamoto — what America would prove to be: a giant awakened.

with NBC, granting the station exclusive rights to broadcast the movie, which the company typically does between one and three times a year. However, due to the repetitive showings of the movie during the time its copyright had lapsed, the public came to know it well — down to every line of dialogue for avid viewers.

Despite its well-loved status, the storyline is actually emotionally draining. As the movie opens, George Bailey, the protagonist, is a Depression-era, down-on-his luck family man stuck in the small town of Bedford Falls and trying to maintain an inherited family loan business. Most of the town is owned by a greedy, soulless curmudgeon, George’s nemesis.

In its exposition, the movie reveals that George has been driven to suicide. He is faced with potential scandal because of a simple mistake his scatterbrained uncle made, one for which George will likely take blame and receive prison time.

In some ways, George’s sta-

tion in life is already a prison: he never envisioned living in a “drafty old house,” saddled with a wife and four children, trying to “nickel and diming” his way through life.

Instead, he yearned to travel the world and design magnificent buildings. He is a man who has sacrificed a desired destiny for the sake of obligations to his hometown, a sort of trap.

Dismal enough?

Conversely, the love of his family and friends and their subsequent appeals to the Deity cause Clarence, his guardian angel, to come scurrying to earth, hopefully to rescue a forlorn George from jumping to his death from a bridge into frigid.

Ultimately, the same family and friends are the ones who chip in to save George from financial ruin. After all, as Clarence reminds him in the inscription of his gift of the book Tom Sawyer to George Bailey: “No man is a failure who has friends.”

The movie is maudlin — but it’s hard to watch parts of it that lump rising in the throat. It’s a difficult movie to describe, evident when Frank Capra tried to explain its premise to Jimmy Stewart, who starred in the starring role.

Capra ultimately said, “This ... this story doesn’t tell very well, does it?” to Stewart replied: “Frank, if you want to do a movie about me committing suicide with an angel with no wings named Clarence, I’m your man.”

In the end, the story pans out.

It reinforces the message that despite the aloneness most of us feel sometimes, our lives really do matter to those around us.

First District Supervisor Lowell Hinton has heard a number of complaints about the lack of striping. With no center or side stripes, it can be tough to keep a vehicle in the right spot on the road in dark, foggy or rainy conditions, he said.

A meeting amongst the involved parties is expected next week to discuss the situation.

Daughter charged in killing

JACKSON — Jackson police say two women dropped off a man’s body at a hospital and left.

The women left the man, in his 50s, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center about 3:15 p.m.

Wednesday.

Officials say he was dead on arrival and had apparent trauma and injuries to his body. It’s unclear what caused his injuries. His name has not been released.

Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham Stewart said preliminary findings show the trauma is consistent with being hit by a vehicle, but the death is still under investigation.

The two women were found by police and detained for questioning.

JACKSON — Police say a Mississippi woman has been charged with murder after pouring boiling water over her paralyzed elderly father, who died several days later.

Jackson Police Department Commander Tyree Jones said in a news release that 55-year-old Diane Coleman dumped the water on 81-year-old Earl Coleman on Sept. 3, “severely burning” him in multiple places on his body. Earl Coleman died Sept. 12.

The daughter’s motive was not entirely clear, but Jones said she lived with and was the primary caretaker for her father, who was paralyzed, used a wheelchair and had numerous medical issues.

John Glenn, first American to orbit Earth, dies House passes stopgap

BY SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — John Glenn, whose 1962 flight as the first U.S. astronaut to orbit the Earth made him an all-American hero and propelled him to a long career in the U.S. Senate, died Thursday.

The last survivor of the original Mercury 7 astronauts was 95.

Glenn died at the James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, where he was hospitalized for more than a week, said Hank Wilson, communications director for the John Glenn School of Public Affairs.

John Herschel Glenn Jr. had two major career paths that often intersected: flying and politics, and he soared in both of them.

Before he gained fame orbiting the world, he was a fighter pilot in two wars, and as a test pilot, he set a transcontinental speed record. He later served 24 years in the Senate from Ohio. A rare setback was a failed 1984 run for the Democratic presidential nomination.

His long political career enabled him to return to space in the shuttle Discovery at age 77 in 1998, a cosmic victory lap that he relished and turned into a teachable moment about growing old. He holds the record for the oldest person in space.

More than anything, Glenn was the ultimate and uniquely American space hero: a combat veteran with an easy smile, a strong marriage of 70 years and nerves of steel.

Schools, a space center and the Columbus airport were named after him. So were children.

The Soviet Union leaped ahead in space exploration by putting the Sputnik 1 satellite in orbit in 1957, and then launched the first man in space, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, in a 108-minute orbital flight on April 12, 1961. After two suborbital flights by Alan Shepard Jr. and Gus Grissom, it was up to Glenn to be the first American to orbit the Earth.

“Godspeed, John Glenn,” fellow astronaut Scott Carpenter radioed just before Glenn thundered off a Cape Canaveral launch pad, now a National Historic Landmark, to a place America had never been. At the

time of that Feb. 20, 1962, flight, Glenn was 40 years old.

With the all-business phrase, “Roger, the clock is operating, we’re underway,” Glenn radioed to Earth as he started his 4 hours, 55 minutes and 23 seconds in space.

Years later, he explained he said that because he didn’t feel like he had lifted off and it was the only way he knew he had launched.

During the flight, Glenn uttered a phrase that he would repeat frequently throughout life: “Zero G, and I feel fine.”

“It still seems so vivid to me,” Glenn said in a 2012 interview with The Associated Press on the 50th anniversary of the flight. “I still can sort of pseudo feel some of those same sensations I had back in those days during launch and all.”

measure as senators raise objections

BY ANDREW TAYLOR AND RICHARD LARDNER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and authorize hundreds of water projects, but a Senate fight over benefits for retired coal miners threatened to lead to a government shutdown this weekend.

House members promptly bolted home for the holidays and will return next month to a capital city in which Republicans will fully control all levers of power, with Donald Trump inaugurated as the nation’s 45th president.

The stopgap spending bill passed on a 326-96 vote; the massive water projects measure passed 360-61.

In the Senate, however, Democrats made a lastditch effort to add two provisions to the bills: Aa one-year respite for retired coal miners scheduled to lose their health benefits at year’s end and a permanent extension of “Buy America” mandates for steel used in the construction of water projects.

“They totally gave the back of their hand to miners,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. “Who’s for the working people?

Where’s Donald Trump on miners?”

Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sherrod Brown of Ohio, both of whom face re-election in 2018, argued that a provision in the spending bill to temporarily extend health care benefits for about 16,500 retired union coal miners is insufficient.

The measure does not protect pension benefits despite President Harry S. Truman’s 1946 guarantee to miners of lifetime health and retirement benefits.

“Republicans are bragging about the kind of support they have from workers in coal country, particularly retirees in coal country, and now are prepared to just extend their health care for five months,” said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.

GOP leaders insisted the deal was the best the Democrats could get, heightening the possibility the government could close at midnight Friday. Before the election, vulnerable GOP incumbents Rob Portman of Ohio and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania had supported a broader bill to protect health care and pension benefits for about 120,000 retired coal miners.

After winning re-election, neither Portman nor Toomey was part of the Democratic fight for the miners.

2nd officer dies, suspect found dead A second Georgia police officer died Thursday, a day after being shot alongside a fellow officer who was a lifelong friend, and the hunt for the suspected gunman ended when a SWAT team found the fugitive dead — apparently by his own hand — inside a home where he was hiding.

Officer Jody Smith initially clung to life after being gravely wounded Wednesday when the university officer went to help his friend, Americus Officer Nicholas Smarr, respond to a domestic dispute call at an apartment in rural Americus, about 130 miles south of Atlanta.

Both men were shot.

Smarr was killed and Smith was airlifted in critical condition to a hospital in Macon. The university that employed Smith announced Thursday evening that he had died.

“Officer Smith showed extreme bravery in the line of duty as he responded to a call for backup,” Georgia Southwestern University President Charles Patterson said in a statement.

Carrier chief stands ground vs Trump INDIANAPOLIS — A local union president slammed by Donald Trump on Twitter stood his ground Thursday, maintaining the president-elect gave false hope to hundreds of workers by inflating the number of jobs being saved at a Carrier Corp. factory in Indianapolis.

United Steelworkers Local 1999 President

Chuck Jones spent much of the day doing television interviews after Trump called out by name Wednesday night the leader of the union for a few thousand workers at the Carrier factory and 11 other plants.

Trump tweeted that Jones “has done a terrible job representing workers” following comments from Jones this week that Trump had lied to workers and put on a “dog-and-pony show” at the Carrier factory last week by taking credit for keeping 1,100 jobs from being outsourced to Mexico.

Jones called Trump’s reaction “amusing” and said he wasn’t backing off “one iota.”

“Give the guy credit — he’s got some spunk,” Jones told The Associated Press. “Am I upset, worried, scared or anything? No. Does it faze me? No.”

Warehouse missing from records OAKLAND, Calif. — The illegally occupied warehouse where 36 partygoers burned to death was not in the database Oakland fire inspectors use to schedule what are supposed to be annual inspections of commercial buildings, a firefighter with knowledge of the situation said Thursday.

There also was no record of the building, called the Ghost Ship by the artist colony that lived there and hosted Friday’s for-pay public concert at the warehouse, ever being inspected by Oakland fire officials, the firefighter said. The firefighter spoke anonymously for fear of retribution.

tors pull addresses from the database to request routine inspections for fire hazards, the firefighter said. In 2014, a grand jury said 4,000 out of 11,000 commercial buildings in the city go without what are supposed to be yearly inspections. Oakland officials blamed short staffing and funding.

Fire department spokeswoman Rebecca Kozak said Thursday she didn’t know whether the warehouse’s address was in the database of buildings to be checked.

Trump meets with victims, families NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump is taking on a somber task Thursday that became all too familiar to his predecessor — supporting survivors after an outbreak of violence, this time families and victims from last week’s attack at Ohio State University.

Trump is flying to Columbus, Ohio, to meet with several people who were slashed by Ohio State student Abdul Razak Ali Artan. Artan, 18, first rammed a campus crowd with his car before getting out with a knife and stabbing students before being fatally shot by police.

As Trump left for Ohio, there was word that he is expected to pick fast-food executive Andrew Puzder to lead the Labor Department. That’s according to a Republican official and a person close to Trump’s transition, both speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to disclose the information before the official announcement.

Lawmaker seeks to withdraw guilty plea JACKSON — A former Mississippi lawmaker is asking to withdraw his guilty plea in a longrunning prison corruption case.

In papers filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Cecil McCrory of Brandon said he is innocent and is requesting a jury trial.

McCrory’s current attorney, Carlos Tanner, wrote that McCrory received ineffective representation from his first attorney. Prosecutors did not give McCrory all documents needed to prepare his defense, Tanner wrote.

“Considering the sheer volume of discovery involved in this prosecution, it is highly improbable that Mr. McCrory’s prior lawyer had time to analyze those materials between the time he received them and the time Mr. McCrory entered his plea,” Tanner wrote.

McCrory, a former state House member, operated a business that had contracts with the Mississippi prison system.

He and former Mississippi Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps were indicted in August 2014, but the indictments remained under seal for three months.

Prosecutors revealed the case against the two men in November 2014, a day after Epps retired from his $132,700-a-year job as head of the prison system — a job he had held a dozen years under three governors.

McCrory pleaded guilty in February 2015 to one count of money laundering conspiracy and faces up to 20 years in prison.

He’s also forfeiting $1.7

million in assets.

McCrory remains free on bond. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 21, but that would change if U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate allows McCrory to withdraw the guilty plea.

Epps faces up to 23 years in prison after pleading guilty in February 2015 to money laundering and filing false tax returns related to $1.47 million in bribes prosecutors say he took. He is forfeiting $1.7 million in assets. Epps’ sentencing has been delayed several times, and is set for May 24. He had been free on bond, but Wingate revoked his bond and ordered Epps jailed last month after police in a Jackson suburb charged him with burglary for taking exterior lights and a control box from a house he had forfeited.

Several other people have been charged in the corruption case.

Teacher who dragged student by hair fired JACKSON — Fired, criminally charged and with her state teaching license on the line, Linda

Winters-Johnson admitted Wednesday that she’d been wrong to drag a special education student by the hair across the gym floor at Greenville High School.

“I am an imperfect human who has made a grave mistake,” she told Mississippi’s Teacher Licensure Commission The commission, though, didn’t buy her remorse. After brief deliberations, a three-commissioner panel voted to bar Winters-Johnson from the classroom for 12 years.

Raina Lee, a lawyer who handles educator misconduct proceedings for the state, said it was the longest such sanction she’d seen. Mississippi has no legal provisions for permanently revoking a teacher’s license, although department officials say they plan to ask lawmakers for that power.

The move means Winters-Johnson can’t even ask for her license back until the suspension is over, while the commission could have allowed the teacher to seek reinstatement after half the penalty.

Diverging diagnoses A highly anticipated new way to treat cancer suffered another setback last month when Juno Therapeutics reported two more patient deaths in a study of an experimental leukemia drug.

There have been other worrying signs about the treatment, which reengineers patients’ immune systems to fight cancer. Juno previously halted the same trial in July after three similar patient deaths linked to brain swelling. In August, Swiss giant Novartis shuttered its business unit studying the same technology, eliminating 120 jobs.

In the world of drug development, that kind of news often means trouble for every company working on a

similar approach. But this time there’s an exception. Shares of Kite Pharma held up better than Juno Therapeutics, showing that investors still see promise in the treatment, which has shown positive results in some early tests.

Safety issues or other problems could still crop up, as they do for many drugs. But RBC Capital Markets analyst Michael Yee points out that Kite has studied 100 patients and hasn’t reported major safety problems.

“Bottom line, we think Kite has treated many more patients across the programs and does not have these issues,” Yee writes in a recent investment note.

Ex-military couple can’t agree on a continent to call home D E A R ABBY: My husband recently retired from the military. We have four school-aged Abigail children. The is Van Buren youngest starting kindergarten, Dear Abby and I would like to go back to work and finally use my college degree. My husband wants to take a job overseas, but I would likely be unable to work due to the language barrier.

I want to settle down in a location I love, doing a job I love.

My husband worked hard to get this job and I hate to discourage him. I didn’t realize I would feel so strongly about settling down until very recently. I don’t want to move and he doesn’t want to give up this job.

He suggested we live separately. Our marriage is otherwise happy, and due to the military we have had a long-distance marriage many times before, just not for as long as this would be.

Should I try moving overseas?

-- WANTS TO SETTLE DOWN DEAR WANTS TO SETTLE DOWN: Yes, for the sake of your marriage, I think you should.

And when you’re there, explore

finding a way to put the degree you worked so hard to attain to use. The experience of living in a foreign country would be good for your children, and you might enjoy the adventure yourself.

If that’s not the case, you can always return to the U.S. and see if a bi-continental marriage works for you.

DEAR ABBY: I am writing this as I sit in a hospital at my daughter’s bedside. When staff comes into her room, she asks them to wash their hands in front of her before putting on their gloves.

Several doctors took offense at this. We even posted a note on the door, asking the staff to wash up inside the room. Were we wrong? She doesn’t want to increase her risk of infection. I would think that a patient worried about proper hygiene would not be sneered at by the people trying to get her healthy. -- TRYING TO STAY HEALTHY DEAR TRYING TO STAY HEALTHY: Bravo to you for speaking up! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hospital-acquired infections have cost the hospital industry $30 billion and resulted in 100,000 patient deaths. A 2013 New York Times article reported that unless pushed to do so, hospital workers wash their hands only as little as 30 percent of the time they interact

with patients. The problem is so widespread that some hospitals must monitor workers via video cameras or have them wear electronic badges to “encourage” compliance, while others have resorted to “bribing” workers to do the right thing.

You were not wrong to ask staffers at your daughter’s hospital to wash their hands. Nobody should feel reluctant to ask for something that is standard procedure.

Because many patients in hospitals and care facilities feel vulnerable and dependent, they fear that staff will “dislike” them if they ask for too much. For patients to request handwashing is not only in their best interest, but also the hospital’s. Too often, change doesn’t happen in the medical profession until patients speak up and advocate for their own well-being. You would not have been “sneered at” if your request hadn’t made those individuals feel defensive.

DEAR ABBY: When dining out with a group, when is the proper time to ask for separate checks? Before ordering or after the dinner is over? -- BEFORE OR AFTER DEAR B. OR A.: Because you are with a group, it would make more sense to inform your server before he or she starts taking your orders.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll be presented with the possibility of a different kind of working arrangement. Keep an open mind, because at first this may not sound like what you had in mind. This one is (so) worth a try!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Now they say, “I can’t believe you went there.” The truth is that you’ve always been “there”; it’s just that now you’re no longer willing to keep it to yourself. It will feel good to express your true thoughts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Opposing forces can provide interesting tension, or they can pull so hard they tear things asunder. Why risk it? Avoid getting caught in the middle of a contest of strong wills.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Don’t assume the people around you are on the same page. Future hassle can be avoided by explaining things better than you think you should have to. While you’re at it, ask questions to make sure they’re really catch-

ing on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be careful not to get so caught up in the minutiae of practical concerns that you ignore the feelings that are really driving this scene. There’s more to gain by tuning into the emotional world of others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Even those who love you very much may not understand you as well as you like. Relationships can be like fun-house mirrors that reflect back a warped and distorted version of you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

There will be a reward for impressing that certain so-and-so.

No need to posture, perform or stretch the truth in the least.

Nothing is more interesting than the real deal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Laziness can lead to inventing an easier way. Anger can motivate change. Fear can promote safety; sadness can inspire bonding; restlessness is the precursor to adventure. Whatever you’re feeling, there’s a benefit

to it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes the kindest thing isn’t the nicest thing. Besides, maybe you’re better suited to do the thing that challenges people, makes them think or makes them laugh.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). How do you get to the root of a problem? You dig. Expect resistance, but don’t let it deter you. The hard ground can be cracked with more substantial tools.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The right thing to do might not be readily apparent, but that’s what the wise one is for. Use this person. If you can’t find this person, use the internet. You should be able to come up with a solution by sundown.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The fair price for goods or services isn’t always the price being offered. There are long-reaching benefits to paying what’s fair, even if it means giving more than is being asked of your wallet.

Braves split with Aggies; Walnut sweeps

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

It was only Thursday but there was still basketball being played, including a makeup trip for Kossuth at Tishomingo County.

(G) Kossuth 43 Tishomingo County 36 The Lady Aggies led from horn to horn but never were able to put the Lady Braves away until the last seconds of the game.

Neither squad was able to muster any kind of offensive rhythm in the first quarter, but KHS did manage to put seven points on the board while limiting TCHS to only two.

The points started to come

in the second period as Tishomingo County hung around and wouldn’t go away. Kossuth posted a 22-15 halftime lead after the two teams traded baskets for most of the second.

If the Lady Braves were going to make any kind of major push and claim a lead they could taste the whole night, the third quarter seemed like the time, and they were able to trim a couple of points off the lead but still trailed 30-25 entering the fourth quarter.

The Lady Aggies built the lead back up to nine midway through the final eight minutes. That’s when the TCHS fans and Lady Braves got just what they needed: a three-

pointer and a quick steal and lay-in to cut the advantage to four. But Kossuth hit their free throws down the stretch to secure the win.

“We’re getting better every game,” said TCHS coach Brian Middleton.”We got closer tonight. They (KHS) whipped us by 50 last year. But it’s really hard to win when you go nine for twenty two at the free throw line. Kossuth has a good program.”

Morgan Hodum had another solid game for KHS, scoring a game-high 15, followed by Kaylee Bonds with 11.

Anna Hooper led TCHS with 12 and Christian Bobo had seven.

(B) Tishomingo County 64 Kossuth 61 This game began completely opposite of how the girls game started.

There was plenty of action filling the court as both teams got after each other from the opening tip. The Braves grabbed an early lead and came close but never relinquished it through the first period, leading 16-13 heading into the second.

The Aggies found themselves in the same position the Lady Braves found themselves in the earlier contest: close but no cigar.

Tyra Tucker added 16 while Walnut’s Shelby Wilbanks was her normally steady self with 13.

(M) Northeast 75 East Central 64 The Tigers have started a tradition this season of starting slow and finishing like a tidal wave, and that’s exactly what happened in Decatur.

ECCC took a 42-34 lead into the locker room at the break, but watched Northeast race by them with a huge second half.

Kendarius Smith poured in a game-high 23 for the 7-1 Tigers, followed by Leroy Buchanan with 17 and Corinth’s Kendall Stafford with 13.

and overall athletic ability kept them uncomfortably ahead until midway through the second quarter. That’s when Caleb McCalmon came up with back-to-back two handed slams and Pritchard Braxton drilled a threepointer from the right wing to turn a 30-22 lead into a 37-22 cushion in just a matter of seconds.

The Aggies trimmed four points off that lead before the half but still found themselves down 37-26.

Then came the second half, and oh what a half it was for Kossuth.

Jonah Smith suddenly got a hot hand and the Aggies rallied all the way back late in the fourth quarter to take a shortlived lead. Pritchard hit another three-pointer to put the Braves ahead with less than 10 seconds left and KHS had their hearts broken when they couldn’t respond with a game-tying three.

McCalmon scored 20 to lead Tishomingo County, followed by Pritchard with 12. Kyle Parrish and Jermaine Duckett each finished with 10.

Smith poured in a game-high 21 for the Aggies while Kennedy Dye had 14 and TJ Essary 12.

• Walnut traveled southeast to play a pair of games against North Pontotoc in the Myrtle Invitational.

(G) Walnut 34 North Pontotoc 28 The Lady Wildcats were forced to rally in the fourth quarter to record their fourth win of the season.

The Lady Vikings never put Walnut away and that became their undoing as WHS rallied from a 26-22 deficit after three quarters.

The Lady Wildcats held North Pontotoc to two points in the fourth while scoring 12 themselves.

It was a huge win for (Kent Mohundro coach Jackie Vuncannon is the sports editor and her squad as they for the Daily Corinimprove to 4-2. thian)

– in his own vehicle – to the shopper’s home halfway across Alcorn County.

It was a simple act of kindness he didn’t think twice about.

“I love helping with the Toy Store,” said Smith. “I have an opportunity to have a great Christmas ... and I think other people in this community should, as well.”

Celebrating its 23rd year, the Toy Store welcomed 500 pre-registered Crossroads area families on Thursday who were given the opportunity to select new toys, clothing and supplies for Christmas morning.

“We are helping ensure 1,500 children in Alcorn County truly do have a Merry Christmas,” said Lauren Bulter, one of the store’s coordinators. “It’s pretty amazing what happens here.”

Shoppers preregister for several weeks leading up to the Toy Store’s opening day. Each shopper is assigned a time period during the day they can come shop. Staff allows only 12 shop-

Bulter, in her fifth year with the foundation, said it’s the community and volunteers who deserve the thanks.

“It’s very much a community effort,” she said. “Several churches, community organizations and youth groups come together to make this happen every year.”

Long time Lighthouse accountant Margaret Dennie added, “Nobody cares about getting credit. We are all here

for Christ.”

Each shopper can select four toys per child from the store.

Shopper assistants push shopping carts and help shoppers select the best toy for their child. Additionally each shopper receives a free bible and a story book bible for each child in the family.

Caveness said earlier this week fundraising is at “approximately the halfway point”.

“Donations are still desperately needed,” he said. “We have faith the community will come together once again to help make the program a success.”

(Donations can be made in person at 1103 South Johns Street in Corinth, by mail to Lighthouse Foundation, P.O. Box 2121, Corinth, MS 38835 or online at lighthousecorinth. org.)

OXFORD — Throwing winning touchdown passes is always gratifying, but for Jarrius Adams on Saturday (Dec. 3), lobbing the football also proved to be very lucrative.

The University of Mississippi sophomore successfully threw 11 15-yard passes into a target to win the $100,000 Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway scholarship. The 30-second throw-off against another finalist was televised live during halftime at the Wisconsin-Penn State Big 10 Conference championship.

The windfall is a welcome surprise for the Hattiesburg native, who is majoring in public policy leadership and political science at Ole Miss.

“It’s a truly wonderful blessing,” the 19-year-old said Monday, still giddy from the prize-winning weekend. “I worked really hard to get to reach this level, but honestly, it’s hard to believe it really happened.”

Adams’ journey to the winner’s circle began in August, when he ran across an ad for the competition on his Facebook page.

“Years before, I’d watched another Ole Miss student I knew win second place in this same competition,” he said. “I told myself then I would one day enter it myself, but forgot about it until I saw the ad.

That’s when I decided to enter the contest.”

The soft drink company contest invites students ages 18 to 24 to submit 350-word essays on how they would use their education to change the world.

Social media users vote for the entries, and those whose entries receive a minimum of 50 votes each record 1-minute videos to gain even more votes.

To see Adams’ video, go to https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=_g0iWpZTEL0.

Company officials then select 16 finalists who compete in preliminary throw-offs before appearing at ACC, Big 10, SEC and PAC-12 college conference football championships.

Other institutions with finalists included Texas A&M University, Cornell University, George Fox University, Oklahoma City University and the universities of Georgia, Northern Colorado and Southern California at Santa Cruz.

Students from the Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy, Enterprise State Community College and Bristol Community College were also finalists in the competition.

“Tuition costs are ris-

ing year by year,” Adams said in his video. “The No. 1 financial crisis for this nation for years to come is college students’ debt. The nation must make a commitment to alleviate the pressure on millenials.

“Financial constraints create unbearable obstacles, but I thank Dr Pepper for disabling those barriers for so many students.

Before Saturday’s telecast, Adams rehearsed throwing footballs alone with a friend.

“I really wasn’t nervous, but being on live television in front of thousands of people was a bit distracting at first,” he said. “Once the whistle blew and I started actually throwing the balls, I focused on winning. Only after it was over and I was being presented the check did I realize that I’d won.

It felt so good!”

The runner-up got a $20,000 scholarship.

Since his winning moment, Adams has received hundreds of thousands of congratulations via his social media, emails, texts and phone calls. UM Chancellor Jeffery S. Vitter was among those who praised him for his winnings.

“I am so thrilled for Jarrius,” Vitter said. “He is such a deserving student who will use his college education to achieve great things and change lives. This prize money will certainly go a long way toward helping him reach his goals.”

A UM orientation leader, Adams is the son of Taquanna and Yahmani Adams of Hattiesburg.

His siblings include a brother and a sister.

“To not have to worry about college tuition anymore is such a huge blessing for me,” he said. “I really hope that my good fortune inspires others to seek such opportunities in the future.”

He shared his shortand long-term goals for his unexpected funds.

“There are two issues that I hold dear to my heart: education and voter registration,” Adams said. “With my degree, I will work to rebuild the current educational system to ensure that all students have access to a free and adequate public education. I will continue to be an advocate for voter registration, making sure that it is more feasible for all citizens to participate in the voting process.”

OXFORD — Ken Sufka, professor of psychology and pharmacology at the University of Mississippi, wants students to achieve academic success, so much so that he’s given them a guide that centrally involves bringing their “A” game to every class.

During Sufka’s 25 years-and-counting at Ole Miss, an increasing number of students have sought his counsel on improving their performance on assignments and exams.

“From interviews with students, I discovered a set of bad student habits and poor study skills that hinder academic performance,” Sufka said. “At the same time, I kept up with a growing body of scientific literature on student learning.

“It was interesting to see how well this research dovetailed with many identifiable problems that interfered with mastering coursework.”

His solution? Publish a list of study strategies that would give students a written roadmap to success. Sufka’s book, “The A Game: Nine Steps to Better Grades” (Nautilus

Publishing, 2011) is given to every Ole Miss student at enrollment.

From the book’s increasing royalties, the professor and his wife, Stevi Self, have established the Kenneth Sufka Undergraduate Scholarship in Psychology Endowment.

“I originally wrote this book of study tips to help my students succeed in their coursework,” said Sufka, who was named the Elise M. Hood Outstanding Teacher in 1996.

“Now, with the book’s proceeds, we can help fund a scholarship to make college a little more affordable so that students can focus more on their academic success.”

The scholarship is available to full-time junior or senior psychology majors with financial need and who maintain a minimum 3.0 grade-point average.

“I’ve had the privilege of observing Ken’s outstanding teaching and the way he inspires students to be the very best that they can be,” said UM Provost Morris Stocks, who invited Sufka to speak to the Provost Scholars during the program’s first year.

“I saw the reaction our students had to Ken about

achieving excellence, and it sparked our interest in making his book available to all our students. When students put into practice Ken’s nine rules, they are empowered and equipped to meet the challenges and rigor of college academic life.”

Self witnessed the book’s transformative effect when a student approached her husband to say that the advice offered in “The A Game” enabled him to be admitted into the university’s Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College.

“It was so sweet,” she said. “It took us totally by surprise.”

The Kenneth Sufka Undergraduate Scholarship in Psychology Endowment is open to gifts from individuals and organizations. To contribute, send checks with the endowment name noted in the memo line to the University of Mississippi Foundation, 406 University Ave., University, MS 38655 or visit http:// www.umfoundation. com/makeagift.

Teaching students respect, compassion, dignity Several years ago when I attended my 40th class reunion I received Gary an inspiAndrews r a t i o n a l message Devotionals from a friend who I haven’t seen since the eighth grade.

It caught me off guard and I had no memory of this ever happening.

My renewed friendship of this classmate gave me an uplifting feeling of something that I did some 60 years ago. Being a successful businessman and now living in California, this friend drove all the way to Mississippi to see if I was still around and was in attendance. To my great surprise he told me, “Gary, I remember in the first grade I was being picked on by two boys and

would not speak up for myself. You intervened and told them to leave me alone and I wasn’t bothered by them anymore. I felt I needed to say ‘Thank You’ for helping me then because it gave me a stronger self-esteem and more self-confidence.”

I did not recall the incident and never knew this happened. However, my friend remembered it and it made an impact on him and how he looked at life.

There are many stories similar to this of how just one small step in helping someone will forever change their lives. I remember a story of how some bullies knocked a small boy to the ground, scattered his books, and broke his glasses. One young man stopped and helped him up, help him repair his glasses and pick up his books. These two young men became friends and were very suc-

cessful in their adult lives.

The young victim that was picked on became Valedictorian of his class and during his farewell speech alluded to one of the greatest things that ever happened to him. He acknowledged his friend and recalled the day that his friend picked him up and helped him. “It was that day I had cleaned out my locker and was taking all of my books home. I had been picked on all of my school years and I was beaten down. I was on my way to commit suicide and end all of these problems. Thanks to this one person being nice to me and helping me, my view of the world changed.”

All of our schools are beginning a new year and we need to encourage students to step up and be kind and helpful to all of the students around them. We may never know what some of these

students are facing and what kind of difficulties they are going through.

Should they see someone being bullied they should tell someone that can intervene and stop the bullies. If they see someone that is timid and won’t speak or stand up themselves, they should be friendly and encourage them in a positive way.

As parents and adults we need to teach students with discipline, love, and encouragement. We need to talk to them about setting goals and achieving these goals. We need to teach them about caring and helping others, being orderly with good manners and respect for their teachers, administrators, and leaders.

Our students of today need to understand that the way of the world will only lead them into poverty and a life of crime.

We still to instill into

Jesus remains the perfect gift W i t h Christmas wishes being passed around throughout the counLora Ann try, a lot Huff of emphasis is beBack Porch ing placed again on the proper wording.

E-mails are floating from computer to computer saying that a particular store or business may not use the word “Christmas” in their ads or greetings.

If they didn’t start making such a deal out of it a few years ago, I probably wouldn’t have noticed. All my life, I’ve seen signs and cards that read “Happy Holidays” and “Seasons Greetings,” and I assumed it was a message of cheer for Christmas and New Year’s and the whole season combined. Then I was told that the words are an effort to leave Christ out of Christmas.

Growing up in the South where the majority of the population was simply either Christian or non-Christian, I never had really thought about the difference between “Christmas” and “Happy Holidays.”

Until the last few years, I honestly had never registered the possibility that the second expression was allowing for Jewish Hanukah, Kwanzaa, or whatever other holiday different nationalities and religions might observe. I was too nieve to think anyone would object to the name of Christ being in the name of the holiday anyway.

Bearing these ideas in mind, as a Christian I naturally prefer the word “Christmas,” recognizing the birth of Jesus, but I have no problem calling it a “holiday.” What a holiday it truly is!

Just relax and enjoy the season.

Don’t worry about all the trivial arguments over words – let your heart celebrate what it knows is true and best and LIVE the truth of the words rather than focusing on the arguments that float around.

In line with Christmas being about a Savior, my daughter-in-law passed along a writing that explains why Jesus is better than Santa Claus. Please read: Santa lives at the North Pole - Jesus is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh Jesus rides the wind and walks on water.

Santa comes but once a year - Jesus is our ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings - Jesus supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney - Jesus stands at your door and knocks and enters your heart when invited.

You have to wait in line to see Santa - Jesus is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap - Jesus lets you rest in His arms.

Santa has a belly like a bowl of jelly - Jesus has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is “Ho, Ho, Ho” - Jesus offers health, help, and hope.

Santa may make you chuckle - Jesus gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree - Jesus became our gift and He died on a tree – the Cross!

After all, Jesus was the perfect gift, allowing mankind a chance for eternal life. The angels must have shuddered when He left Heaven to be born in Bethlehem, and their songs

were surely bittersweet on their tongues as they announced His birth, knowing what He gave up to be here.

I’m completely overwhelmed when I think of the sacrifice He was willing to make even though He knew mankind would never deserve the mercy or be able to comprehend the depth, breadth, or height of the love He has for us.

So regardless of how the world around us labels Christmas, I know what I will celebrate – I will celebrate Jesus.

At the same time, my family and I will give thanks with our children and our grandchildren – four of them and another on the way! I’m so thankful Jesus came, and I’m also very grateful the Lord chose to smile on us and answer many prayers in giving us our grandchildren.

I’ve learned that the closest thing to God’s unconditional love is the love of a child. Come to think about it, maybe that’s why Jesus came as one.

So just relax and enjoy the season. Don’t worry about all the trivial arguments over words – let your heart celebrate what it knows is true and best and LIVE the truth of the words rather than focusing on the arguments that float around.

God is alive and well – let’s be thankful.

them that a life of crime and drugs will kill them or either send them to jail for a lifetime of misery and regret.

One of the greatest gifts we can give our children and students is the knowledge of Jesus Christ that through Him is eternal salvation. God gives us all of the laws that we will ever need and He has provided rules and regulations for us. In John 14:15 Jesus tells us, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

Let’s teach our children the Ten Commandments and once they learn these many of the problems in our school systems will cease. It’s all about respect, honor, compassion, and dignity.

Prayer: Father God I give you praise, honor and glory for everything.

I know for certain that you are in charge and will be forever and ever. I

Though bittersweet, childhood Christmas memory warms heart

BY LESLIE CRISS Daily Journal

“A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.”

– Garrison Keillor “I’m going to be Mary in the Christmas play. And if you try to be, or raise your arm, you’ll wish you didn’t.”

– Imogene Herdman, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” Memories are odd. They lurk in hidden spaces in the brain and at the craziest moments, they make themselves known.

One of my mama memories has been playing constantly in my head this holiday season. It’s not a bad memory, but it’s bittersweet now because my mama is no longer here.

She’s dressed and ready to go, wearing her long red coat she loved so much. I’m sure a colorful Christmas pin was affixed to the lapel.

She was taking me to our church’s Christmas pageant – just Mama and me. Her firstborn, I was about 7. Sister Beth, 3, was staying home with Dad because she was too young and not as well behaved in church as I. We arrived at All Saints Episcopal Church in Grenada just in time to see one of the church’s matriarchs walk down the old parish house steps and tell us we were late – the pageant and reception were over.

Mama had gotten the wrong time.

As my mother started to get back into our car, she stepped off the curb and twisted her ankle, falling to her knees on cold concrete. But we did not go home.

She was intent that I not be disappointed, so she drove us three blocks down Main Street to First Baptist Church, where we were just in time to hear a Christmas cantata being performed by the choir.

I have no memory of the musical program. But the memory of my mother’s determination to get for her and her girl some Christmas

I have no memory of the musical program.

But the memory of my mother’s determination to get for her and her girl some Christmas spirit is powerful. spirit is powerful.

I not only attended that missed church pageant many times in years to come, but I was a part of it most of those years.

Most years, I was an angel with stiff cardboard wings, made shiny with aluminum foil.

Angels had no speaking parts.

We only sang when directed by the choirmaster.

The coveted role each year, of course, was Mary. And even this shy girl wanted the chance to play the part.

Finally, my year arrived. I was asked to be Mary, and though I was scared to death, I was honored to pretend to be the mother of Jesus.

No better role existed.

The Sunday morning before the evening’s pageant, we had dress rehearsal instead of Sunday school. I paid little attention in church. My thoughts were of the performance I would give later in the day. I was certain acting awards would be part of my future.

They were not.

Two hours before the pageant I became violently ill with a stomach virus.

“The show much go on,” I told my parents.

My father mumbled something about how it wouldn’t look right for Mary to throw up on the Christ Child.

So my understudy sat in the stable with Joseph and Jesus. And I stayed home.

Disappointed.

Away from the manger.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I recently graduated from college with a degree in journalism. I interviewed with several media companies in New York and landed my dream job at a major online magazine. I was thrilled.

Everything went smoothly the first month.

It was the second month when things fell apart.

We had a companywide meeting, and I was supposed to give a presentation about a project I was working on to drive more traffic to the site. Well, I got the days totally mixed up. I thought the meeting was Wednesday, when in fact it was Tuesday. My boss came to my cube first thing Tuesday morning and said, “We can’t wait to hear your presentation.” That’s about when my heart stopped. I froze in my tracks. I was planning on finishing the bulk of the presentation that evening, and now I had only a half-hour to throw stuff together.

I walked into the boardroom completely unprepared. I started off trying to wing it, but after about 30 seconds, I clammed up completely. My face was burning hot. I mumbled, “I got the days wrong,” and then I awkwardly took my seat. And as I sat down, I spilled coffee all over myself. I left the meeting feeling embar-

Dear Annie rassed and like a failure.

My supervisor talked to me about it afterward and was pretty understanding but said not to let it happen again. Now I’m afraid every day there is going to be my last. — Disappointment Dear Disappointment: There’s no use crying over spilled coffee. All people with an office job can name a time when they wanted to shrink to the size of a paper clip and hide in the desk drawer. But mistakes are proof that you are trying, and you can’t learn without making a few (or a hundred).

Your colleagues don’t expect perfection, especially because you’re just out of college. What they do expect is consistent hard work and a positive attitude. So get back at it and show them that. Use your mortification as motivation.

And I think this goes without saying, but never wait until the night before a presentation to prepare.

Dear Annie: I’ve always been curious as to why

you and most other advice columnists always take the position that family is sacred just because it’s family — that people should bend over backward to maintain family relationships, no matter how dysfunctional.

My husband and I are retired, and at 70, we are still blessed with good health and are financially secure enough to truly savor our golden years. We do this by always collaborating over big decisions and eliminating toxic influences from our happy life — including relatives.

We do not bail out children who get in trouble because they didn’t follow our advice. We love to share our coastal Florida home with friends and family who truly cherish us, but we politely decline requests from freeloaders who obviously care about nothing but our pool and its proximity to the beach.

And as for those who go on social media to attack our political views? We ask them to please not contact us anymore.

You would be amazed how freeing and uplifting this is. Life is just too short — especially at this age — to be governed by guilt or a false sense of duty. — Living Free Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.
