Two plead in tax office burglary

“Advent means coming and is the time Christians prepare

Two more defendants have pleaded guilty in connection with the burglary of the Prentiss County Tax Collector’s office.

Joseph R. Moore and Steven M. Gumm entered their pleas and were sentenced during a recent term of Prentiss County Circuit Court, according to court documents.

Former Prentiss County deputy tax collector and purchasing clerk Donna L. Way of Baldwyn previously pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary of a building and was sentenced to seven years in prison in the case.

Way, Gumm, Moore and a fourth defendant, Gerald C. Guynes, were charged in August 2014 for their roles in the Jan. 31, 2014 burglary of the office in the Prentiss County Courthouse. At the time officials said around $36,000 (including approximately $16,000 in cash with the remainder in checks) was taken from a safe in the tax collector’s office.

Moore pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary of a building and was sentenced to seven years. A related charge of conspiracy was retired. He was also sentenced to five years for receiving stolen property.

Moore also pleaded guilty to two unrelated counts of possession of a controlled substance

Aylah Chelmowski checks out the decorations of Lil Mike’s Grill and Pickup owner Michael Guare. Guare’s restaurant is one of 20 taking part in the Christmas Spirit Program started two years ago by Chelmowski.

Word is getting out.

That helps Aylah Chelmowski in her goal to light the town up.

Chelmowski is out to bring more Christmas spirit to Corinth. More spirit means better response to the 14-year-old’s goal of helping a pair of charities.

Almost 300 votes have been cast in the 2nd Annual Christmas Spirit Program (CSP) with one week left in the contest.

“People are starting to get the idea what CSP is all about,” said Chelmowski. “Businesses are wanting to take part this year and the decorations are much better.”

Bread of Life luncheon serves up hope

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

There is hope.

Organizers of the Bread of Life Food Ministry Annual Christmas Message and Luncheon wanted folks to leave with that promise along with a full stomach.

Around 80 attended the annual event at Tate Baptist Church on Thursday.

“Jesus is the hope,” said Tate Baptist pastor Bro. Mickey Trammel. “He is the hope not only at Christmas, but everyday of the year … we need to Staff photos by Steve Beavers

grocery stores to see which one has the best Christmas decorations.

Money raised from CSP entry fee of $25 will be equally spilt between Oasis Medical Center and Jardin de Eden (Garden of Eden) Orphanage in Ecuador.

Lil Mike’s Grill and Pickup leads the voting with a week remaining.

Cafe Mike’s is second followed by Roger’s Supermarket.

“It has been fun and it is for a good cause,” said Lil Mike’s Grill and Pickup owner Michael Guare. “I think everyone should sign up for the contest.”

exhibit Christ-like spirit everyday.”

Bro. Warren Jones delivered the message and the Courthouse Pickers provided the special music.

The meal — made by chef Ben Betts — consisted of turkey and dressing, green beans, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, roll, dessert and drink.

“I thought it went great,” said Bread of Life Director Tim Alvis.

“Things like this aren’t about numbers, it’s about Him.” Every Thursday, Bread of Life has a devotion and one-on-one counseling at 10 a.m. prior to food distribution at Tate Baptist.

People can come every Thursday for the spiritual food, but they are only eligible for the physical

aspect every 60 days, according to Alvis.

Food is distributed in three different categories.

There is an amount for a family of 1-2, 3-4 and 5-plus, according to Alvis.

“We realize there is a need for many families during the holidays to not only have food, but also encouragement,” said Trammel. “So many churches provide food and assistance each Thursday through Bread of Life … we hope more churches will be willing to join in to provide that assistance.”

“Bread of Life wants to be a hand up and not a handout so people can feel good about themselves,” added Alvis. “I hope each person leaves here today with the sense of hope Jesus provides.”

CSP is a competition among local restaurants and grocery stores to see which one has the best Christmas decorations.

Guare believes in dressing up his business with decorations.

“We are always doing something,” he said.

“The whole family gets involved which is fun for us and the customers like it.”

Those participating in the contest are judged on friendliness, service, decor, lights, holiday music, Christmas trees, displays, costumes, greetings and Christmas specials.

Twenty are taking part in this year’s competition.

The winning restau-

rant or grocery store will receive a plaque and small cash prize. The runner-up will be presented a plaque.

Winners will be determined by a panel of judges and patrons of the establishment.

Chelmowski’s goal is to raise $1,000 for the charities.

Judging ends Dec. 20.

Patrons can see their favorite restaurant for voting details.

The first candle, which can be either blue or purple, is called the Prophecy Candle or Candle of Hope. The second candle or Bethlehem Candle was lit last week. The remaining candles to be lit are the rose Shepherd Candle or Candle of Joy and the Angel Candle to Candle of Love.

The lighting of a white Christ Candle will be part of the candlelight communion at the church on Dec. 24.

“We are using different young couples each week to light the candles,” added Smith.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Dec. 13, the 347th day of 2015. There are 18 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 13, 1937, the Chinese city of Nanjing fell to Japanese forces; what followed was a massacre of war prisoners, soldiers and citizens. (China maintains as many as 300,000 people died; Japan says the toll was far less.)

On this date: In 1642, Dutch navigator Abel Tasman sighted present-day New Zealand.

In 1769, Dartmouth College in New Hampshire received its charter.

In 1862, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside launched futile attacks against entrenched Confederate soldiers during the Civil War Battle of Fredericksburg; the soundly defeated Northern troops withdrew two days later.

In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson arrived in France, becoming the first chief executive to visit Europe while in office.

In 1944, during World War II, the light cruiser USS Nashville was badly damaged in a Japanese kamikaze attack off Negros Island in the Philippines that claimed 133 lives.

In 1962, the United States launched Relay 1, a communications satellite which retransmitted television, telephone and digital signals.

In 1981, authorities in Poland imposed martial law in a crackdown on the Solidarity labor movement. (Martial law formally ended in 1983.)

In 1994, an American Eagle commuter plane crashed short of RaleighDurham International Airport in North Carolina, killing 15 of the 20 people on board.

In 2003, Saddam Hussein was captured by U.S. forces while hiding in a hole under a farmhouse in Adwar, Iraq, near his hometown of Tikrit.

Across the Region School district gets $30,000 donation The Corinth School District Board of Trustees accepted a $30,000 donation from Richard F. “Dickie” Scruggs to the Corinth-Alcorn-Prentiss Early Learning Collaborative.

The collaborative is a grant-funded prekindergarten program.

Other items in Thursday’s brief open session included approval of the Corinth Youth Football League’s use of the Corinth Middle School football field from March to November in 2016.

Staff approvals included the CHS Saturday school and extended library hours personnel — Rachel McCord, Gennella Graham, Bruce Gentry, Megan Anderson, Starr Tucker and Kelly Hendrix.

Denise King will be a supply teacher at CES. Request for leave was approved for Crista Norman at CHS. The board approved four student transfers from Corinth to Alcorn and one from Corinth to Tishomingo.

This year’s question was, “What is your definition of success?”

Local Honey & Sorghum

Chittom responded with, “My definition of success is when someone has achieved their desired goals that they have set for themselves in their life. In Carly’s life, her goals would be to have a great job that allows her to spend time with friends and family. She also hopes to be a great mom, wife and

Corinth, Miss.

We aren’t the world To believe his critics, Donald Trump has ripped up the U.S. Constitution and sprinkled its shreds on the smoldering embers of what was once the Statute of Liberty.

He did this, of course, by proposing a temporary ban on Muslim immigration into the United States, which might be the most roundly and fiercely denounced idea in America since the British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts (in 1774).

There is no doubt about it: Donald Trump’s proposal is invidious; not all Muslims are Rich a security risk. It is unworkLowry able; among other things, airlines would have to screen National travelers from Europe for their Review religion. It is imprudent; we don’t want to send a message of generalized hostility to Muslims.

But it’s not unconstitutional. Trump’s detractors, and even some of his fellow Republicans, can’t help making this charge, even though it betrays a misunderstanding, not just of the Constitution, but of the very nature of a sovereign nation.

“We do not discriminate on people based on religion,” Ben Carson said in response to Trump’s proposal, “that’s constitutional, that’s in the First Amendment.” Of course, he’s right. Except the First Amendment isn’t a free-floating grant of rights to all of mankind.

We are a sovereign country with the right to exclude whomever we want from coming here. In keeping with this basic attribute of nationhood, a long line of Supreme Court cases have upheld the “plenary power” of the political branches to set immigration policy in any way they please.

As Jan Ting of Temple University notes, the Supreme Court wrote in a 1977 opinion, “Our cases ‘have long recognized the power to expel or exclude aliens as a fundamental sovereign attribute exercised by the Government’s political departments largely immune from judicial control.’” The court remarked that “Congress regularly makes rules that would be unacceptable if applied to citizens.”

We have seen exercises of this plenary power in recent decades. During the hostage crisis, as FrontPage Magazine reported, Jimmy Carter ordered that all nonimmigrant visas from Iran be invalidated and that no more be issued, absent a compelling humanitarian reason.

He also mandated that Iranian students in the United States report to the authorities, who queried them about potential radical sympathies. Some students were expelled.

Jimmy Carter has not heretofore been known for his fascistic tendencies.

It is different, and less disturbing, to target the nationality of potential entrants, rather than their religion. It is the difference between Trump proposing, say, a temporary moratorium on visas for people coming here from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia – San Bernardino terrorist Tashfeen Malik was a Pakistani who spent a lot of time in Saudi Arabia – and a halt to all Muslims. Trump’s ban would apply to an Iraqi interpreter who worked alongside U.S. troops, as well as to a harmless Ph.D. from Malaysia.

Still, the braying about the First Amendment from the left is rich. The implicit position of Trump’s progressive critics is that the First Amendment doesn’t protect all political speech, or cover people with religious objections to gay marriage, or prevent the Obama administration from forcing nuns to sign up for contraception coverage, but it extends to foreigners hoping to gain entry into the United States.

The embedded assumption is that migrating here is some sort of global civil right. Republicans, too, are subject to this hazy thinking. Trump may be ignorant and bombastic, but his supporters believe that, if nothing else, he understands that the security and interests of Americans must come first. They know no such thing about his hysterical detractors.

(Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today Gracious Father, help me that I may not be thoughtless and unkind. May I be gentle and sympathetic. Forgive me for any unhappiness which I may have made, and may it be mine to know the rejoicing that comes hi lifting a discouraged life in time. Amen.

A verse to share “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” — Psalms 1:1

‘Misunderestimating’ the American people As the week began, I planned to write this column about some implications of Barack Obama’s Sunday night Oval Office address. I noted that he devoted about one-fifth of this 13-minute speech to pleas that Americans not discriminate against Muslims.

“It is the responsibility of all Americans — of every faith — to reject discrimination,” he said. “It’s our responsibility to reject proposals that Muslim Americans should somehow be treated differently.”

At one level, this is an anodyne statement. As a general proposition, discrimination by religion is against the best in American tradition and the letter of American law. George W. Bush, you might recall, made similar statements in the days after Sept. 11, 2001.

But as events have shown then and since, both presidents “misunderestimated” — to use a verb apparently coined by Bush – the American people.

Yes, there have been incidents here and there when Americans have acted violently or rudely to people they have perceived to be Muslim. But they are exceedingly rare in a nation of 322 million people.

Both presidents showed a lack of confidence in the ability of ordinary Americans to carry in their heads

two ideas seemingly in tension. One is that most violent terrorists these days are Michael Muslims (our Barone leaders may claim that Columnist they aren’t true believers in Islam, but the terrorists obviously don’t agree). The other is that most Muslims aren’t terrorists.

But it turns out that ordinary people are entirely capable of understanding that not everyone in a certain category behaves according to stereotypes, even those based on statistical facts.

This is not actually a difficult concept.

There was another objectionable aspect to Obama’s Sunday night speech. “It is our responsibility to reject religious tests on who we admit into this country,” he said. That was a partisan slap at Republicans who suggested that priority in admitting Syrian refugees should be given to nonMuslims.

American asylum law provides preferences for those persecuted for their religious beliefs, as Yazidis and Christians have been

by Islamic State forces. For many years American law provided for special treatment for Soviet Jews. Reli-

gious tests, in appropriate circumstances, are entirely consistent with American tradition and humanitarian principles.

As noted, earlier this week I was prepared to write more along these lines. But then on Monday came the announcement that, in the words of a campaign press release, “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

A Trump spokesman initially said the ban would cover “everyone.” But it turned out later that the candidate would make some exceptions. Muslim U.S. military personnel stationed outside the country would be allowed to return.

As would Muslims who are U.S. citizens.

Trump’s proposal was denounced by former Vice President Dick Cheney and by rival presidential candidates including (in alphabetical order) Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and Marco Rubio. Ted Cruz said he disagreed with, but deftly declined to criticize, Trump.

I think Trump is “misunderestimating” the American people in much the same way as Obama. Where the president seems to fear the possibility of wide-

spread violence against Muslims (or those perceived as such), the presidential candidate evidently sees a widespread consensus that Muslims are so likely to be dangerous that it is unduly risky to allow any to enter the country.

This seems to me to get recent history wrong. “If this guy doesn’t look like an Arab terrorist, then nothing does,” the ticket agent who let 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta pass through security recalled thinking, “but it’s not nice to say things like this.” Neighbors of the San Bernardino terrorists noticed peculiar goings-on but didn’t report them to authorities.

It seems that many Americans, out of a “misunderestimated” reluctance to discriminate by religion, have difficulty making the distinctions – or discriminations – needed to identify terrorists. That’s a problem not easily solved, and Obama’s and Trump’s “misunderestimates” aren’t helping.

An establishment unhinged Calling for a moratorium on Muslim immigration “until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on,” Donald Trump this week ignited a firestorm of historic proportions.

As all the old hate words — xenophobe, racist, bigot — have lost their electric charge from overuse, and Trump was being called a fascist demagogue and compared to Hitler and Mussolini.

The establishment seemed to have become unhinged.

Why the hysteria? Comes the reply: Trump’s call for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration tramples all over “American values” and everything we stand for, including the Constitution.

But is this really true?

The Constitution protects freedom of religion for U.S. citizens. But citizens of foreign lands have no constitutional right to migrate. And federal law gives a president broad powers in deciding who comes and who does not, especially in wartime.

Why might Trump want a moratorium on Muslim immigration?

Reason one: terrorism.

The 9/11 terrorists were Muslim, as were the shoe and underwear bombers on those planes, the Fort Hood shooter, the Times Square bomber and the San Bernardino killers.

And as San Bernardino showed again, Islamist terrorists are exploiting our Pat liberal immiBuchanan gration policies to come Columnist here and kill us.

Thus, a pause, a timeout on immigration from Muslim countries, until we fix the problem, would seem to be simple common sense.

Second, Muslims are clearly more susceptible to the siren call of terrorism, and more likely to be radicalized on the Internet and in mosques than are Christians at church or Jews at synagogue.

Which is why we monitor mosques more closely than cathedrals.

Third, according to Harvard’s late Samuel Huntington, a “clash of civilizations” is coming between the West and the Islamic world. Other scholars somberly concur.

But if such a conflict is in the cards, how many more millions of devout Muslims do we want inside the gates?

Set aside al-Qaida, ISIS and their sympathizers.

Among the 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide are untold millions of followers of the Prophet who pray for the coming of a day when sharia

is universal and the infidels, i.e., everyone else, are either converted or subjugated.

In nations where Muslims are already huge majorities, where are the Jews?

Where have all the Christians gone?

In some countries of the Muslim world, Americans who embrace “Hollywood values” regarding abortion, adultery and homosexuality, can get their heads chopped off as quickly as converts to Christianity.

In what Muslim countries does Earl Warren’s interpretation of the First Amendment – about any and all religious presence being banned in public schools and all religions being treated equally – apply?

When is the next “Crusade for Christ” coming to Saudi Arabia?

Japan has no immigration from the Muslim world, nor does Israel, which declares itself a Jewish state.

Are they also fascistic?

President Obama and the guilt-besotted West often bawl their apologies for the horrors of the Crusades that liberated Jerusalem.

Anyone heard Muslim rulers lately apologizing for Saladin, who butchered Christians to take Jerusalem back, or for Suleiman the Magnificent, who conquered the Christian Balkans rampaging through

Hungary all the way to the gates of Vienna?

Trump’s surge this week, in the teeth of universal denunciation, suggests that a large slice of America agrees with his indictment – that our political-media establishment is dumb as a box of rocks and leading us down a path to national suicide.

Trump’s success tells us that the American people really do not celebrate “globalization.” They think our negotiators got snookered out of the most magnificent industrial machine ever built, which once guaranteed our workers the highest standard of living on earth.

They don’t want open borders or mass immigration. They want people here illegally to be sent back, the borders secured, and a moratorium imposed on Muslim immigration until we fix the broken system.

As for the establishment, they are saying pretty much what The Donald is saying. To paraphrase Oliver Cromwell’s speech to the Rump Parliament: You have sat here too long for any good you have done here. In the name of God, go!

Cheering in London

Marine Corps League helps kids The Marine Corps League Detachment 1331 of Corinth presented a $1,500 check to Havis Hurley for Havis’ Kids to take special needs children to Disney World in May of 2016. Taking part in the presentation were (kneeling, from left) Gerald Nichols, Norm Lademan, Tony Hill and Andy Gerregano and (standing, from left) Becky Lambert, Mike Bridgewater, Al Newman, Havis Hurley and Gaines Griffin.

Madison Wilhite, daughter of Melissa and James Wilhite, and Mary Kate Tucker, daughter of Lyle and Ellen Tucker, tried out for All-American this past July at UCA cheer camp. They were chosen to represent Alcorn Central High School in the London New Years Day parade. To be selected as an All-American, the girls had three days to learn and perform a brand new dance, a new cheer, and also perform jumps.

After being selected, they received a new dance during Thanksgiving break to have learned by December 26th. Mary Kate and Madison will be flying out of Atlanta on December 26th. They would like to thank all who have supported them during their fundraising for this once in a lifetime trip to London.

Palazzo attacks plan letting women serve in combat jobs Associated Press

BILOXI — U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo is criticizing U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter’s decision to open combat positions to women, saying the Pentagon leader and President Barack Obama ignored Marine Corps recommendations to keep those jobs closed to women.

Honoring veterans Veterans were honored recently at the Alcorn Alternative Education Center. Those veterans in attendance were Ben Caldwell, USMC, Charles Holt, U.S. Army and Don Pace, U.S. Air Force. Each veteran spoke to the students about his experience in the armed forces. A hand-stitched quilt was presented to the veterans made by the students under the direction of Mrs. Tracy Mitchell, teacher at the center. Among those participating in the ceremony were Sherry Putt, teacher, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Holt, Randy Holt, school director, Mr. and Mrs. Don Pace, Tracy Mitchell, teacher and Mary Eaton, Counselor.

The Biloxi Republican, a former Marine, sent a letter to Carter and attacked the decision Thursday as “unbelievably dangerous” in a speech on the House floor. That speech mainly criticized Obama’s antiterrorism policy.

The Sun Herald reports that in his letter, Palazzo questions the motivation of civilian military leaders.

Hero’s funeral for victim who shielded co-worker went flying and assured her: “I got you.”

Those would be his last words.

Inside Calvary Baptist Church in the rural city of Jesup, where Johnson was born about 2,300 miles from the auditorium in which he and 13 others died, a congressman gave his family a folded U.S. flag while praising him as “an American hero.”

“Shannon’s fearless. He’s always been that way,” Rob Johnson, the slain man’s older brother, told reporters before the service.

“I’m sure that when he saw the young lady, he thought of his sister or his girlfriend or his former wife ...,” he said.

Associated Press

JESUP, Ga. — Those close to Shannon Johnson knew him to be fearless — whether he was moving across the country to pursue love, rescuing stray animals in the path of a wildfire, or trying to shield a co-worker from gunfire during the last moments of his life.

The 45-year-old health inspector from Los Angeles received a hero’s funeral Saturday in his home state of Georgia 10 days after he died during the massacre in San Bernardino, California. A colleague wounded in the attack, Denise Peraza, said later that Johnson wrapped an arm tightly around her as bullets

GRANT CONTINUED FROM 1A

Upon checking his junk messages, Lindamood found a surprising email from Adobe about the possibility of winning a ConnectED grant.

Not one to waste time, the principal quickly applied for the grant only find out just days later

that his application had been approved.

“When I first found the email, I thought it was awesome,” he said.

“I considered it to be an outstanding opportunity for the students and wholeheartedly made up my mind right then and there that I wanted it for our school and was going to do everything in my

“You always have to be careful particularly with items going to the spam box or obtained on the Internet because things can go south quickly. I made sure to check it out first and it was indeed, their website,” he added. “I’ve been trying to implement more technology and get it into the students hands rather than simply in front of them.”

The biggest grant the school has received since his appointment as principal, the educator revealed an ironic twist.

“I was actually getting online to order soap,” said Lindamood with a laugh.

“One of our students has designed a wonderful ‘Biggersville Lions’ logo and we wanted to see about getting them add-

ed to our soap dispensers. I was also thinking I needed Adobe Photoshop in order to do so.”

While his unspoken wish was granted, he did in fact, forget to order the soap in his excitement.

“I worked with Adobe in college and learned to do a lot of things with it,” he said. “This grant will allow the students to do so much earlier than I did and may or may not help them down the road in their future careers. Either way, these are excellent tools to have at their disposal.”

An initiative through the White House, the ConnectED grant comes with 45 different creative tools licenses and is valued at an estimated $25,000.

According to their

website, Adobe has committed over $300 million in software and professional development services to the White Houses’s ConnectED initiative. As part of this $2 billion plus effort from the private sector, Adobe will deliver creative tools and teacher professional development to schools across the United States—all with the goal of helping youth express their creativity and build their skills for future success.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Laws failing to ease shortage of doctors JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Several new state laws intended to boost the ranks of doctors in underserved areas have yet to produce any actual results.

The laws in Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas allow new medical school graduates to start treating patients immediately, without going through years of traditional residency programs.

But Missouri regulators are still trying to implement the law more than 18 months after it first passed. And not a single new doctor has gone into practice in any of the states as a result of their new laws.

There are more than 6,200 places nationwide with a shortage of primary care physicians.

But the new laws have been opposed by some of the nation’s most influential medical organizations, including the American Medical Association. The groups say residency training remains important.

Another political scandal hits AlbanyÂ

Additional 10% off Friday and Saturday

ALBANY, N.Y. — For the second time in as many weeks, a former top New York politician was convicted on federal corruption charges, prompting calls for tougher ethics rules and threatening to further undermine citizens’ trust in their state government.

A federal jury convicted former Senate Leader Dean Skelos and his son Adam on charges that the 67-year-old Long Island Republican used his position to

extort payments and no-show jobs for his 33-year-old son. Skelos, who lost his legislative seat upon conviction, had resigned as the powerful leader of the Senate this spring when he was arrested. He planned to appeal.

Last week, former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat, was convicted on charges that he took $4 million in kickbacks. He also planned to appeal, but the damage to state government’s already sullied reputation may prove even harder to fight. “Albany is out of second chances,� tweeted Brian Kolb, the leader of the Assembly’s GOP minority, minutes after the Skelos conviction.

Storm spurs hopes of rain in California SAN FRANCISCO — In an encouraging prelude to winter, California got a heavy dose of snow and rain that the drought-stricken state badly needed, and the wet weather may not be done yet.

While ski resorts rejoiced at the deep snows they were seeing, on the coast rain and wind gusts prompted high surf warnings and repeated cautions from highway patrol to slow down when driving Friday.

California needs all the snow and rain it can get, given years of drought that have dried up reservoirs and left trees parched. Even a wet winter is not expected to end the drought, but this week’s weather brought on by a tropical atmospheric river is the kind Californians used to see before drought

set in. “This is the kind of storm we’ve been missing for the last four years of drought,� said Doug Carlson, a spokesman with the California Department of Water Resources.

Blaze at California mosque was arson COACHELLA, Calif. — A Southern California mosque was damaged in a fire that authorities said was intentionally set.

Flames were reported just after noon Friday at the Islamic Center of Palm Springs, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. The fire was contained to the small building’s front lobby, and no one was injured.

By late Friday night, the Sheriff’s Department released a statement calling the blaze “an intentional act� and saying it would use all available resources to investigate.

People at the mosque described hearing a “loud boom� and seeing flames, said Reymundo Nour, the mosque’s acting imam, who was not on the site at the time.

He said the mosque had been “firebombed.�

Authorities provided no details on how the fire was set or whether the department has any suspects.

State fire investigators, the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI are assisting in the investigation.

The mosque is about 75 miles from San Bernardino, where last week a couple who federal officials say were inspired by Islamist extremists killed 14 people.

Cop-killing suspect had enlarged heart HATTIESBURG — Mississippi officials say an enlarged heart is a likely factor in the death of a 30-year-old inmate jailed since last May in the slayings of two Hattiesburg police officers Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict said there were no signs of trauma on the body of Marvin Banks, who died Friday.

Warren Strain, of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, said the initial autopsy shows an enlarged heart and scar tissue on the heart. But a cause of death won’t be determined until other tests are completed.

Results will likely take weeks.

Nick Calico of the Forrest County Sheriff’s Department said Banks was found unresponsive in his cell Friday evening.

State economy rises at 3.6 percent rate JACKSON — New figures show Mississippi’s economy grew at a 3.6 percent annual rate from April through June, slightly slower than the nation’s economy.

Gross domestic product numbers released Thursday by the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis try to measure all of the economic output of each state.

Mississippi’s performance was a sharp improvement from 2015’s first quarter, when the economy shrank 1.5 percent, and from 2014, when economic output was flat.

The 2014 figures have been revised up from originally showing that the Magnolia State economy shrank 1.2 percent

Wholesale trade, transportation and warehousing, finance and insurance and real estate leasing were the biggest drivers of Mississippi growth.

Nationwide, economic output grew 3.8 percent during 2015’s second quarter.

Health marketplace key deadline looms JACKSON — Only three days remain for Mississippi consumers to buy private health insurance for coverage starting Jan. 1 on the federal marketplace.

Tuesday is an important enrollment deadline under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Consumers seeking coverage beginning with the new year must choose a health plan by then.

Enrollment runs through the Jan. 31.

Signing up after Tuesday means coverage starts in February.

As of Dec. 5, more than 23,000 Mississippians have selected a marketplace health plan from one of three insurers active in the state.

The Department of Health and Human Services says 82 percent of Mississippi enrollees can find a plan for $75 or less per month after tax credits. The department also says people with current plans will likely save by shopping for cheaper coverage.

Man gets six years in bankruptcy fraud  JACKSON — A mortgage company owner has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison for bankruptcy fraud, which authorities say included illegally wiring $9.1 million from company accounts to a bank in

Panama.

William “Butch� Dickson was sentenced to 57 months on Thursday in U.S. District court, according to court records.

He also faces three years of supervised release once he gets out of prison.

Dickson ran Community Home Financial Services, a Jackson-based mortgage company that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2012. After his company sought protection from creditors, prosecutors said Dickson illegally wired the money to Panama.

They said he also sent mortgage checks the company had collected to Panama and Costa Rica.

Dickson pleaded guilty in September to one count of concealing assets after a bankruptcy filing, and one count of fraudulently removing such assets.

Some of minister’s convictions tossed JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has overturned 10 of 13 convictions against a former DeSoto County minister who videotaped women taking showers at his two homes.

The court ruled 6-2 Thursday that prosecutors never proved where Samuel Allen Nuckolls transferred the videos to a laptop computer, so those convictions were improper.

Prosecutors charged him with the transfers because a two-year statute of limitations on videos taken in 2007 and 2009 had expired by the time he was charged in 2011.

But, in facts presented to a judge, prosecutors didn’t say where the transfers took place.

ing from electronics, automobiles, and household goods to building materials and safety equipment.

The two companies will form DowDuPont, then separate into three independent publicly traded companies focused on agriculture, material science and specialty products.

“Over the last decade our entire industry has experienced tectonic shifts as an evolving world presented complex challenges and opportunities,” said Dow Chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris in a statement.

Both companies have been under pressure from activist shareholders to control spending and shift away from commodities to faster-growing parts of their businesses. DuPont said Friday that current conditions in the agriculture markets and emerging markets will make sales growth “challenging” in 2016. As a result, the company is cutting 10 percent of its global workforce, including employees and contractors, a move expected to cut costs by $700 million.

Analysts suggested that falling crop prices may have added to momentum for a deal by slowing growth in the agriculture sector, a key business for both companies, leaving a merger as an alternate path to growth.

“This merger makes so much strategic sense,” said Jonas Oxgaard, an analyst with Sanford Bernstein, before the deal was officially announced. “Both DuPont and Dow have individual issues they’re grappling with. They’re not underperforming as companies, but there are things they could do better.”

Liveris will be named executive chairman of the combined company while DuPont Chairman and CEO Edward Breen will be CEO. The company will have dual headquarters in Michigan and Delaware where the two companies are currently based.

Oxgaard said there are a few areas of overlap — both sell corn seed, for example — where divestitures might be necessary.

But for the most part, the companies have minimal overlap and in some cases, even complementary product offerings, he said.

For example, Dow sells solar shingles and DuPont sells an adhesive for solar panels. DuPont sells composites for use in cars while Dow sells adhesives for that market.

Happy Southerner rejects idea of move to Midwest DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my amazing husband for two years. He has worked his butt off to put me through school, and I am appreciative and thankful.

He has recently been offered a promotion, which means Abigail we will have move from Van Buren to the South to the Midwest.

Dear Abby Though I’m not a fan of the idea, I agreed it would be best for us.

I grew up in the North, and took the chance to move down south at 18 because I was miserable there.

I hate the possibility that I’ll be miserable again, and I’m afraid I may end up resenting my husband.

If he passes up this opportunity, he may not get another.

How can I curb my resentment for having to move to another state I’m pretty sure I won’t be happy in? -- FLORIDA GIRL, FOR NOW DEAR FLORIDA GIRL: One way would be to recognize that you are no longer the miserable 18-year-old girl you were when you moved down south.

You have matured, you have

a successful marriage and you won’t be returning alone.

Once you relocate, involve yourself in the community so you can make new friends.

And last (but not least), because people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be, decide to make the best of this opportunity and ALLOW yourself to be happy.

DEAR ABBY: I lost my best friend to AIDS in ‘95, my father to cancer in ‘06 and my husband/lifetime partner to a heart attack in ‘07.

My greatest support, John, moved away the following year.

A father, friend and partner -too many losses. John filled the holes in my heart, but he’s also gone now, from leukemia.

I mourn my losses, but cherish the love I have been given.

Please remind your readers to appreciate whom and what they have.

Don’t wait for a “special” day.

Call the people you love today and tell them how much they mean to you.

I’m calling my mother now. -MIKE IN NEW ORLEANS DEAR MIKE: I’m sorry for the losses of your father, your best friend, your partner and John.

I’m passing your message along because I, too, believe the time to hand roses to those we care about is when they are still able to smell them.

DEAR ABBY: A few weeks ago, I finished knitting a baby blanket for a good friend.

Shortly afterward, she miscarried. I hadn’t yet given her the blanket, and now I’m not sure what to do with it.

It seems heartless to send it to her now, but after putting so much time and love into it, throwing it away or re-gifting it seems like a terrible option.

How can I put this item to good use and cause as little pain as possible? -- ANXIOUS KNITTER IN THE MIDWEST DEAR ANXIOUS: It would not be “re-gifting” to give the blanket to someone, since you never gave it in the first place.

As I see it, you have a couple of options. You could hold onto it in case your friend becomes pregnant again.

Or how about donating it to a worthy cause, such as a domestic violence shelter or Project Linus (projectlinus.org), which provides blankets to children in need?

I’m sure if you do, it would be appreciated.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

You can contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). If facing your fear is the first step, laughing at it is the second, third and fourth. Through extended laughter, you’ll find the right perspective to deal with it.

Bonus: Your day will be enjoyable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Spending time with people makes you happy. Spending time alone makes you happy, too. A balance of both is what you need for optimal productiveness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ll be called on to rescue a friend. You’ll jump at the chance to pay back (or pay forward) the kindness and help you’ve been afforded in the past. You have all the necessary tools, too!

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You have a way of softening people up and lulling them to lay down their defenses. That’s why, when your group wants to move forward, they will send you first to pave the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Un-

usual circumstances might be incredibly lucky, or they might just make for an excellent story later. Either way will be good for you, so when the action takes a weird turn, stay open-minded.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You may be physically full grown, but your heart continues to get bigger, especially with the kind of paces you’ve been putting it through lately. Loving increases your capacity to love.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

There are many things that can’t be measured or detected by the usual methods, but just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not real.

When you sense it’s there, that’s because it is there.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Life gets interesting -- maybe a little too interesting. It seems you’ve got followers, and this may not sit well with one as private as you. You’ll only let them in so far.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Good fortune will come

from being engaged in your surroundings. Something may trigger your inner alarm system, which will cause an adrenaline rush. This reaction will heighten your awareness and dial in your senses.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you accidentally missed the red flag, that’s understandable -- even the most observant people do from time to time.

Just don’t miss the sirens and flashing lights.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everyone has a set tolerance for laziness. Yours is usually pretty low and even lower today. You can only tolerate but a small amount of rest and relaxation before you start thinking of all that needs doing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Philosophical moods can help to stir up ideas and bring about realizations, bonding and more.

Or they can spiral downward.

Knowing things could go either way, the question will be: “How deep do you want to get?”

After a dominating season on the field, the Kossuth Aggies were awarded off the playing surface.

Kossuth took home three of the top five awards in Division 1-3A and garnered nine First-Team selections out the 24 slots equally distributed among offense and defense at the annual postseason meeting of coaches.

Alcorn Central, Belmont, Benton County, Booneville, Kossuth and New Site comprised the six-deep Division 1-3A during the 2015 season.

The Aggies finished 11-2

overall, winning 10 straight before suffering a heartbreaking loss to Cleveland East Side in the second round of the Class 3A playoffs.

KHS also went unscathed in league play, in dominating fashion. The Aggies outscored the other five league members 232-14, with four of the five victories coming via shutout.

Quiet but versatile Powell adding pop to Jets offense

BY DENNIS WASZAK JR. AP Sports Writer

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Bilal Powell speaks barely above a whisper at times, as soft-spoken a player there might be in the NFL. It’s not a knock on the New York Jets running back. He’s just not the loud, look-at-me type. Powell is a humble, religious guy who usually deflects attention from himself.

So, when he celebrated his 25-yard touchdown catch against the Giants last Sunday by looking up to the sky with outstretched arms and briefly taking a knee in the end zone, it was a rare display of emotion for Powell.

“I was just giving glory to my God,” Powell explained Friday. “I was just excited to be back and just excited to be a part of a big win.”

Powell was a huge part of the Jets’ 23-20 overtime victory at MetLife Stadium. He had eight catches for 91 yards and the score, and rushed six times for 17 yards while creating some mismatches throughout the game.

His 112 yards after catch marked the fourth time in the last 20 years that a Jets player had 100 or more in a game, according to the team website. Powell joined LaDainian Tomlinson (2011), Leon Washington (2006) and Keyshawn Johnson (1999) in accomplishing the feat. “I mean, he’s just a great football player,” quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said.

“I think the last few weeks he’s really showed it, just in terms of (being) just a real reliable guy. He’s got great hands, great vision.” On the touchdown in the second quarter, Powell took a short pass from Fitzpatrick, cut through the middle of the field, got a few blocks and zipped into the end zone for the first receiving score of his NFL career.

“He’s kind of a jack-of-all-trades,” coach Todd Bowles said. “He can do a little bit of everything, and he’s quick and he’s explosive when he gets the ball in his hands.”

Working mainly as Chris Ivory’s backup, Powell missed four games earlier this season because of a high ankle sprain. He appears to be completely healthy now, if the run on the TD was any indication.

“It’s good to have his quickness back,” Bowles said. “When he got injured, he wasn’t as full speed as he is now. ... He’s a good change of pace for us and he’s given us a big boost.”

Powell, a fourth-round draft pick out of Louisville in 2011, was re-signed in the offseason to a one-year deal. His role wasn’t immediately clear, especially with Ivory, Zac Stacy and Stevan Ridley also on the roster.

But, Ridley was coming off a serious knee injury from last year and wasn’t Please see JETS | 11A

Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo set to visit BYU

BY DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo will visit BYU on Monday to talk about the program’s head coaching vacancy.

Niumatalolo is 66-37 in eight years at No. 21 Navy and 7-0 against Army headed into the annual game on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Navy has defeated Army a series-record 13 straight times. With a win Niumatalolo would match Army’s Earl Blaik for most victories in the series.

“I love the Naval Academy,” Niumatalolo told ESPN’s “College GameDay” on Saturday. “I love what it stands for.

But when this one opened up, it’s different. It’s just different for me.”

Niumatalolo’s son, Va’a, is a sophomore linebacker at BYU. Niumatalolo is a Mormon who went on a two-year mission following his freshman year at the University of Hawaii. Niumatalolo and his family were featured in a recent documentary titled “Meet the Mormons.”

BYU’s job opened when Bronco Mendenhall resigned and accepted the job at Virginia.

“The only thing that is really disturbing, to all of us, is the fact that it’s been played out through the course of the week,” Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk told The Associated Press before Saturday’s game. “It’s been a distraction.

This is the biggest game of the year. We’re an institution, and we’re certainly a football program, that’s steeped in team and not about ‘me.’

All of a sudden, it’s become

about that.

“It’s been really kind of difficult for some of the players to deal with.”

Navy (9-2) plays Pittsburgh (8-4) in the Dec. 28 Military Bowl at Annapolis, Maryland.

Niumatalolo is the winningest coach in Navy history and will coach the program in his eighth bowl game. He told ESPN that BYU was the only job he was interested in listening to a pitch.

Edgar stops Mendes in first round, earns title shot

BY GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

LAS VEGAS — After finishing Chad Mendes in a cool 2 1/2 minutes, Frankie Edgar is at the front of the line to fight the winner of Conor McGregor’s featherweight title showdown with Jose Aldo.

And if the UFC needs a contender for that belt a little sooner, Edgar is cool with that, too.

“If someone doesn’t show

up tomorrow, I’m ready,” Edgar said Friday night.

Edgar stopped Mendes with a vicious combination midway through the opening round, winning his fifth straight fight on the eve of Aldo’s long-anticipated bout with McGregor at UFC 194.

Edgar (18-5-1) absorbed a handful of early kicks before abruptly staggering Mendes (17-4) with a right and flooring him with a left. Edgar

celebrated after referee John McCarthy stopped the fight and angered Mendes, who thought he could have continued. “I always prepare for battles,” Edgar said. “I always get my mind right that I’m going to walk away with a bloody nose and stitches. It was nice to walk out of there unscathed and with a KO.” The former UFC lightweight champion had been frustrated by his inability to

get a shot at Aldo since his drop to 145 pounds. After his third stoppage victory in four fights against big-name competition, UFC President Dana White confirmed Edgar is next in line.

“Nobody can deny Frankie anymore,” White said. “He looked amazing tonight, and he’ll get whatever he wants.”

Coach Brian Kelly and his assistants Charlie Dampeer, Richey Dillinger, Jon Harrison, Brandon Pittman and Zack Scott were also named Coaching Staff of the Year.

“We almost had the Defensive MVP in Blake Arnold,” said Kelly.

Benton County claimed the other highprofile awards. Keenan Hamer earned Defensive MVP, while Special Teams MVP went to Rod Reaves.

Potts, a four-year veteran, played both ways for the Aggies. He rushed for 533 yards and 12 scores and threw for another 1,108 yards and a dozen TDs. “Elijah was hands down our MVP,” said Kelly. “He was our offensive and defensive leader.

“He didn’t have a lot of snaps at quarterback coming in, but he’s a great competitor and we knew what we were going to get out of him.”

Adams set all kinds of school records and also put his name in the Mississippi book with a 543-yard performance against Corinth. All told the junior rushed for 2,411 yards – averaging 9.5 per carry – and 31 touchdowns.

“He’s a big, strong runner that can move the chains,” said Kelly.

“You have to be able to run the ball at Kossuth and he did that and made plays.”

Kossuth also garnered nine First-Team selections, including five on offense. The Aggies had three senior linemen –

Chazz Bain, Brian Morrison and Jordan Crum – as well as tight end Sam Mathis among the group.

“We couldn’t have done what we did this year without our offensive linemen and they were honored by a pretty unanimous vote,” said Kelly. “On top of that, Sam is a great blocking tight end and is definitely the best in our division.”

The fifth offensive spot went to wide receiver Beau Lee. The lanky junior had 858 yards on 34 catches – 25.2 per grab – and scored on 11 of those.

Offensively, the Aggies amassed over 5,250 yards and registered 75 touchdowns. With three defense/special teams TDs and extra points and safeties added in, the Aggies put up 537 points – 41.3 per contest.

Kossuth also had four players – all juniors – honored on the defensive side in Arnold, a nose guard; linebackers Charlie Bonee and Hunter Brooks; and defensive back Dusty Roberts.

Arnold, who just missed out on the Defensive MVP, led the team in tackles for loss.

Brooks led the team in tackles, while also finishing second on the team in rushing.

Roberts and Bonee were first-year players, but made an impact.

Roberts led the team in interceptions, while Bonee – in addition to linebacker – was also utilized as a rusher, receiver and passer on offense.

the opening.

“This is a spiritual calling,” Gladchuk said.

“It’s not about the job, it’s not about Annapolis.

It’s not about the players and the United States Naval Academy or what he’s getting paid.”

“It has to do with the religious affiliation that he has and he just feels strongly that he has to go out and take a look at it.”

Gladchuk said the

Midshipmen were focused on beating Army and the program would forge ahead, no matter the coach.

“We’re not going wait too long, that’s for sure,” he said. “We’ve got to recruit, we’ve got to push forward.”

‘There’s an old saying, either you’re in or you’re out. We’ll find out pretty quickly.”

“Hopefully, he’s in and we continue with business as usual.”

FDA clears cold cap to save hair during chemo

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Hair loss is one of the most despised side effects of chemotherapy, and now breast cancer patients are getting a new way to try to save their locks.

The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it would allow marketing of the DigniCap, a cooling system that chills patients’ scalps to reduce the hair loss that is so common during breast cancer treatment.

A doctor who led research with the hairpreserving strategy welcomed the FDA’s move, saying hair loss has a traumatic effect on pa-

tients, and survivors, by revealing an illness that many would prefer to keep private.

“It’s such a marker for women — for work, for their families, for their children — that something’s wrong with them,” said Dr. Hope Rugo of the University of California, San Francisco. “You get just a few months of chemotherapy, and it takes more than a year for your hair to recover.”

Scalp cooling is an idea that’s been around for decades. The near-freezing temperatures are supposed to make it harder for cancer-fighting drugs to reach and harm hair follicles by temporarily reducing blood flow and

cell metabolism in the scalp.

Several versions of cold caps are sold around the world. In the U.S., breast cancer patients sometimes bring collections of gel-filled caps to chemo sessions in ice chests, or store them in hospitalprovided freezers, so that when one cap thaws they can don another.

But the DigniCap, made

by Sweden’s Dignitana AB, is the first version officially cleared by the FDA. The company will lease the device to cancer centers to use as their patients come in for chemotherapy.

How it works: A halfhour before starting a chemo session, patients strap on a tight-fitting cap

that’s connected to the cooling machine. It gradually chills the scalp, being careful to stay above freezing, until it’s numb as the chemo infusion begins. Patients stay hooked to the cooling system during the treatment, and for about an hour and a half later as blood levels of the cancer-fighting drugs drop.

Rugo and oncologists at four other medical centers studied the DigniCap system in 122 women undergoing standard chemo regimens for early-stage breast cancer. More than two-thirds of the treated women kept more than half their hair.

“Looking healthy made me feel healthier,” said

Deanna King of San Francisco, who participated in the trial in late 2013 and said she retained 80 percent of her hair.

She’d been between jobs when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and keeping her hair made it easier to restart interviews with potential employers as soon as she felt well enough.

“People are frightened of people that look sick,” King said. “It made the experience a little less traumatic.”

The most common side effects of the DigniCap treatment were coldinduced headaches and neck and shoulder discomfort, chills and pain associated with wearing

the cooling cap for an extended period, the FDA said.

Some doctors had long wondered if the cold could prevent chemotherapy from reaching any stray cancer cells lurking in the scalp. The FDA said the risk of that happening “is extremely rare.”

The cost is still being finalized but patients would be charged a fee for each DigniCap use.

Depending on how many rounds of chemo a woman undergoes, the total cost could range from $1,500 to $3,000, said Dignitana chief operating officer Bill Cronin. The company is negotiating with insurance companies for coverage.

NEW YORK — Life expectancy in the United States has stalled for three straight years, the government announced Wednesday.

A child born last year can expect to make it to 78 years and 9½ months — the same prediction made for the previous two years.

In most of the years since World War II, life expectancy in the U.S. has inched up — thanks largely to medical advances, public health campaigns and better nutrition and education.

The last time it was stuck for three years was in the mid-1980s.

It’s not clear why life expectancy has been flat lately, but suicides and

2015

fatal drug overdoses probably are playing a role, experts believe.

Some researchers have wondered if U.S. life expectancy will peak, due to the nation’s obesity problem and other factors.

But there no evidence that’s happening now, said Robert Anderson of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

S. Jay Olshansky, a public health professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, agreed.

“It’s too early to tell.

Three years does not a trend make,” he said.

The United States ranks below nearly 40 other countries in life expectancy, according to the World Bank. Japan and Iceland are at the top of that list, at more than 83 years.

U.S. health officials come up with the life expectancy figure each year by looking at how old people were when they died and the cause of death. They use statistical modeling to predict how long people born today will live if current trends continue.

The CDC report is based on all the 2014 death certificates. There

were about 2.6 million deaths, or about 29,000 more than the previous year. The increase reflects the nation’s growing and aging population.

Other findings: ■ Infant mortality dropped again slightly, to a record low of 5.8 per 1,000 births.

■ The 10 top causes of death remained the same: heart disease, cancer, respiratory diseases like emphysema and bronchitis, accidents and unintentional injuries, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, flu and pneumonia, kidney disease and suicide.

■ Death rates fell significantly for five causes, including the top two — heart disease and cancer.

■ The largest increase was in Alzheimer’s disease — 8 percent.

■ Suicides and unintentional injuries — a category that includes falls, traffic accidents and drug overdoses — each went up by about 3 percent.

Overdoses are driving up those death rates, said Ian Rockett, a West Virginia University researcher who studies overdoses and suicides.

LONDON — There’s good news for grumpy women: Being happy apparently has no effect on how long you might live.

That’s the conclusion of the latest attempt to find out if happy people live longer. Previous studies have linked happiness to longevity but researchers now say there’s no such scientific connection. So while being sick makes you unhappy, just being grouchy isn’t enough to make you ill or shorten your life.

The results are based on questionnaires from more than 715,000 British women aged 50 to 69 who were enrolled in a national breast cancer screening program in the late 1990s.

The women were asked things like how often they felt happy and how healthy they were. Nearly 40 percent of the women said they were happy most of the time while 17 percent said they were unhappy. After a decade of tracking the women, 4 percent had died.

Scientists found the death rate among unhappy women was the same as those who were happy. The research was published online Wednesday in the medical journal Lancet.

“It’s such a common belief that stress and unhappiness causes death and disease but it’s actually the other way around,” said Richard Peto, a professor at the University of Oxford who was one of the study’s authors. “People should focus on the real issues that shorten their lives, like smoking and obesity.”

How ‘Star Wars’ star got Iron Man as mentor

BY LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer

LOS ANGELES — John Boyega needed help.

The 23-year-old star of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was starting to question a lot of things about what life would hold now that he was part of what’s expected to be one of the biggest films of all time.

The British-born actor wasn’t a complete unknown when he was cast, like his co-star Daisy Ridley, but it was a stratospheric jump to go from the 2011 cult favorite “Attack the Block” to suddenly being one of the key players in launching this new iteration of a multi-billion dollar franchise.

It wasn’t regret. Boyega had gone through a grueling seven months of auditions to get here and was a massive fan going in.

But now he was being tested in ways that no acting school could offer. For one, he wasn’t even allowed to take his script home to memorize dialogue.

The hyper-secrecy of the project required that the scripts stay on the London set.

To get around this, he’d occa-

Boyega’s talent agency, CAA, also represented “Iron Man” star Robert Downey Jr., who is no stranger to this sort of fame. So he sent an email to Downey’s agent saying, essentially, “Hi, I’m John. I’m going to be in ‘Star Wars.’ If he has time, can Robert Downey Jr. mentor me?” sionally record the response dialogue on his phone so that he could rehearse elsewhere. One night as his driver was pulling off the lot, he started practicing and realized he couldn’t remember a thing. So they turned around, went back to Pinewood Studios and Boyega stayed late into the night studying his lines.

“I really do think that God sent Jesus personally to help me with that,” Boyega said.

“Lord have mercy, that was quite the experience.”

But he still felt unsure about the future. He didn’t want to burden his fellow veteran cast mates like Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill

Cryptoquip

with questions about their experiences and how they handled their light speed ascendancy to otherworldly stardom.

“They’re my co-stars and we were in a working environment,” said Boyega. “It’s not a place for teaching and all that.”

At the time, Boyega’s talent agency, CAA, also represented “Iron Man” star Robert Downey Jr., who is no stranger to this sort of fame. So he sent an email to Downey’s agent saying, essentially, “Hi, I’m John. I’m going to be in ‘Star Wars.’ If he has time, can Robert Downey Jr. mentor me?”

He wasn’t exactly sure that it would result in anything, but fig-

ured it was worth a shot. Later, Boyega remembers he was driving in London when he got a call from an unknown number.

“Who’s this?” Boyega demanded.

“It’s Robert,” the voice said.

“Robert who, man?”

“Uh, Robert, Downey Jr.” “I’m like, oh crap! Iron Man!” Boyega recalled. “I had better park up.”

They talked for two hours that day. It was the start of a true friendship that’s since resulted in more hours-long chats, hang-outs, and even a chicken and waffles date.

“Good lord we get deep,” Boyega said of their conversations. “For the most part it’s definitely private, but in general, his thing has always been inner peace and how to deal with this on a mental level. Taking care of your mental health is something that he talks to me about.”

“He’s really changed my life with his advice.”

Whether it’s Downey’s influence or not, Boyega has been weathering the attention with expert grace — even the ugly stuff. Some dark corners of the

Kelly Rowland looks to create girl group on new BET series

BY JONATHAN LANDRUM JR. Associated Press

Crossword

Internet have made Boyega’s race somewhat of a thing.

When the first teaser debuted last year and Boyega’s face was the first thing to appear on screen, #blackstormtrooper started trending on Twitter.

And it wouldn’t be the last time racism would seep through the generally positive enthusiasm for the film, either.

“I’m a strong individual.

That’s what I’ve learned in this process,” Boyega said.

He takes it all with a grain of salt, noting the massive ticket pre-sales and the fact that he’s still in the movie. Co-screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan said that Boyega’s character Finn wasn’t written for a particular ethnicity, either. Finn could have been anyone.

“The ‘Star Wars’ fans, their reputation can’t be ruined by a few individuals,” Boyega said.

“Let’s just leave them on their island and go and enjoy a ‘Star Wars’ movie.”

Right now, he’s just excited for the film to come out. He’s planning to be in New York on Dec. 18 when it finally hits theaters.

ATLANTA — If fans are anticipating a Destiny’s Child reunion album, Kelly Rowland says don’t expect one anytime soon.

These days, Rowland is focused on recording solo music and filming a documentary series called “Chasing Destiny,” which premieres on BET in April. She completed a three-city quest in New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles with veteran choreographer Frank Gatson — who serves as Beyoncé and Rowland’s creative director — auditioning talent in hopes of finding the next superstar girl group.

“I don’t care where they are, where they live, where they’re from, their background — I just want to make sure that I have girls in the group who are not afraid to work, who are excited about a great opportunity, who have goals and think, and breathe, and sleep music,” Rowland said in an interview last week.

The Grammy winner

said she wants to create a girl group for this generation of music fans.

The pop charts currently include Fifth Harmony, who had a major hit this year with “Worth It,” and British group Little Mix, who won “The X Factor” in 2011 and released their third album last month.

But Rowland believes there’s room for more.

“When Destiny’s Child was around I remember there was Xscape, there was SWV, there was En Vogue, there was the Cheetah Girls,” she said.

“There were all these different types of groups, and these different types of girls groups, and there’s just one (now) — you’re kidding me? Like, get out of here. It should definitely be more.”

Rowland said she and Gatson aren’t sure how many girls will be selected for the group. Gatson said he already held two secret audition sessions in New Orleans and New York without Rowland, in hopes of finding more candidates. More than 70 prospects auditioned for them in each city.

“We have to search under every rock,” said Gaston, who groomed Destiny’s Child and also choreographed routines for Michael Jackson and Jennifer Lopez. “There has to be another Michael Jackson out there. There has to be another Supremes.”

Until they find their group, Rowland said she’s enjoying the process as she reminisces about her time with Destiny’s Child. The group was one of the best-selling female groups of all-time, releasing platinum-plus albums and multiple hits, from “Say My Name” to “Bootylicious” to “Survivor.”

Rowland said her “heart beats so fast” thinking about those times with Beyoncé and Michelle Williams.

“It takes me back to those days when we were grinding and being molded,” said Rowland, who will release a solo album next year. “I think this is the most beautiful moments. The fun part is getting to know these girls (and) being able to share my stories.”

Young pastors join reality TV

BY LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer

LOS ANGELES — As a MTV executive, Rod Aissa helped develop “Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica,” the reality series that peered into the lives of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson.

Aissa, now at Oxygen Media, believes he’s found equally engaging young marrieds who will appeal to today’s millennials. The twist: the couple featured in Oxygen’s “Rich in Faith” are pastors, not pop stars.

The reality show features Rich Wilkerson Jr. and his wife DawnChere, both 31 and offspring of ministers, as they launch a youth-oriented Miami church and grapple with balancing work and home life.

Oxygen, which targets 18-to-34-year-old female viewers, is “trying to connect them to relatable characters, experiences and milestones of their lives,” said Aissa, executive vice president for original programming and development. The Wilkersons are appealing, he said, and the fact that their “business happens to be religion” brings an added dimension.

“What I liked about it for Oxygen is the overlay of the discussion of faith,”

he said. “We know from brand research ... that traditional things like family and relationship to God and spirituality are still high on their (the audience’s) list.”

Rich Wilkerson, who started with his parents’ ministry in Miami, brings a celebrity connection to the series: He married Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

Vous, the church the Wilkersons are founding, has a certain glitz of its own, with music, dance, strobe lights and fog machines added to appeal to their generation. They take their ministry to the street as well, meeting people on their own ground.

The Wilkersons say it’s their relationship with God and parishioners that’s important, not TV celebrity or its trappings.

“So often it’s really easy, especially for people of faith, to sit around and report negatively about the status quo of where our nation is or where entertainment is,” said Rich Wilkerson, author of the newly published “Sandcastle Kings,” which includes a blurb from Kim Kardashian West (Wilkerson’s optimism and “passion for the Word of God are contagious,” she said).

“Our idea was to do something that’s encouraging, that’s positive out

there. We want to show people you can have faith, even in this busy, chaotic world we live in right now,” he said.

Faith and reality TV have become close companions. A number of shows are based on families for whom religion is a visible part of their lives, including UP’s “Bringing Up Bates,” in its third season. Others focus on the clergy, among them Oxygen’s “Preachers” franchise that started in Los Angeles and moved on to include other cities.

“Preachers of LA” was criticized by some African-Americans ministers who said the show could foster the inaccurate idea that preachers are in it for fame and wealth.

Hollywood’s fascination with pairing reality and faith has dubious roots, said Dave Johnson, a film and TV writerproducer (“Against the Grain,” ‘‘Doc”) and a Parents Television Council advisory board member.

“It’s like the old circus, with the sideshow tent,” Johnson said. “They’ll use little people, they’ll use Christians, they’ll use tattoo people. It’s a group of people (industry executives) don’t really know or understand or are part of, and think they’re interesting to watch.”
