Tax collections moved ahead again in December, with the tourism tax posting another record month.

The 2 percent tax on restaurants and lodging generated $110,815.45 in funds returned this week by the Mississippi Department of Revenue, an increase of 9.7 percent, or about $9,800, from a year ago. It is a new high mark for the December deposit, which reflects sales activity that actually occurred during the month of October.

For the year to date, the tourism tax has generated $326,725.84, up 10.3 percent from the same point a year ago.

Toy drive gives back

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Christmas is a time to give back.

Corinthian Funeral Home and the American Legion Post 6 Ladies Auxiliary did just that with a toy and food drive to benefit the Lighthouse Foundation and AMEN Food Pantry.

Numerous toys were being boxed and delivered to the Lighthouse Foundation on Tuesday morning.

“We know there are a lot of families who need help

this time of year,” said Ricky Holland, owner of Corinthian Funeral Home. “There was a great response … the people of Corinth and Alcorn County have always been generous when it comes to giving back.”

People could drop off new or gently used toys and nonperishable canned and boxed food items at the funeral home located downtown behind the Corinth Post Office at 506 Kilpatrick Street.

Items could also be left at the American Legion.

Monetary donations were

also accepted to help the cause.

“This has been by far the best response to the drive,” said Holland.

The Ladies Auxiliary found out about the event and wanted to help.

“All of us saw the story in the newspaper and thought this is something we could do to help the community,” said Ladies Auxiliary President Carlean Parker. “We are always looking for ways to help … there are going to be some happy kids on Christmas.”

It was a night of goodbyes for a couple of familiar faces on the Alcorn County school board.

Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith and second district board member James Voyles bid farewell on Monday during the last board meeting of the year.

Smith served one term as superintendent before losing her bid at re-election to Larry B. Mitchell.

The former Kossuth High School principal is set to take the oath of office on Dec. 30.

For Voyles, he’ll move from one board to another.

The Glen resident won the heated race for district two supervisor last month and will officially end his three-years as a school board member on Dec. 29.

The board plans to begin searching for an appointee to finish out Voyles’ term.

Central Stage presents ‘Yes, Virginia’ Thursday

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Santa Claus does exist.

Central Stage will get the point across when it performs “Yes, Virginia the Musical” on Thursday at the Corinth Coliseum Civic Center.

The one-night special production is set for 7 p.m. with admission being $5.

“Yes, Virginia the Musical” is based on the true story of eightyear-old Virginia O’Hanlon.

O’Hanlon wrote a letter to the New York Sun in 1897 wanting to know if Santa Claus existed.

“After searching for answers and coming up empty-handed, Virginia writes the editor of The Sun,” said Alcorn Central High School Drama instructor Leanne Williams.

“If you see it in the Sun, it’s so,” she O’Hanlon in the letter.

Francis Pharcellus Church, one of the editors of the newspaper, responded with one of the most famous editorials of all time.

“Yes, indeed, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus,” said Church.

Witnesses: Officer shot man as he tried to flee Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two witnesses to the fatal shooting of a black Memphis man by a white police officer said the 19-yearold was shot while trying to run away, although the medical examiner said the two men were no more than 4 feet apart.

According to a state investigative file released Tuesday, several people witnessed parts of the July 17 altercation between Darrius Stewart and Of-

ficer Connor Schilling that is now under review by federal officials. One person recorded parts of the struggle, although the video — taken at night from a distance — does little to clarify events.

Several witnesses saw Stewart and Schilling wrestling on the ground, but they gave varying accounts of the shooting.

Schilling said he shot Stewart twice during a struggle in which he feared for his life. Schil-

ling said Stewart then got up and ran about 60 yards before collapsing.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s file was released by a court order at the request of the local district attorney general.

The unusual move came after a grand jury declined to indict Schilling on charges of voluntary manslaughter and use of a weapon during the commission of a dangerous felony.

The ambiguity in the re-

port shows why the grand jury might have given Schilling the benefit of the doubt.

The medical examiner’s report does not indicate Stewart and Schilling’s exact positions during the shooting.

The investigator’s report says one bullet entered Stewart’s upper right chest and traveled downward front to back.

A second bullet entered the inner left arm toward the back side and then

went into Stewart’s chest.

Both entrance wounds showed stippling. Medical Examiner Marco Ross told investigators that means the muzzle was probably between ½ inch and 3 to 4 feet from Stewart when the gun was fired.

Stewart was originally detained after a vehicle he was riding in was stopped for a headlight violation.

Schilling took Stewart’s identification and discovered old warrants, includ-

ing one for a sexual abuse charge from 2009, when Stewart was 13.

The shooting led Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. to ask for a review of police policy on when it is permissible to question, detain and search car passengers during traffic stops.

Schilling has been relieved of duty with pay.

He faces an administrative hearing to determine his future with the department.

tinue to make glad the heart of childhood.� “This particular musical piqued my interest a few years back, but it had been too late to apply for a grant,� said Williams.

Alcorn Central was able to do the musical after receiving a local grant from Macy’s. AC was among 100 schools and community organizations across the country to receive such a grant. “I chose this play because musical theatre is my true passion, as this is where most of my experience has come from,

both as an actress and director,� said Williams. “I enjoy working with young children and I love stories with a sweet, sentimental message, especially those set in different time periods.�

As with the tourism tax, the December deposit reflects sales activity from October. Funds returned to cities across the state, totaling $34.8 million, rose only about a third of a percentage point. Cities receive 18.5 percent of the sales tax collected within their boundaries.

For the fiscal year to date, Corinth’s share of sales tax proceeds totals $1.521 million, rising 3.1 percent, or about

$46,000, from the same point a year earlier.

Other sales tax results from the region: ■Booneville — $153,897.34 (+1%) ■Burnsville — $13,996.14 (+12%) ■Farmington — $2,427.15 (-22%) ■Glen — $2,282.43 (-17%) ■Iuka — $68,690.82 (+2%) ■Kossuth — $3,374.05 (+4%) ■Rienzi — $4,476.37 (+1%) ■Ripley — $106,980.21 (+4%) ■Tishomingo — $9,941.95 (+4%) ■Tupelo — $1,558,876.67 (+3%)

Jurors deadlocked in Freddie Gray case JULIET LINDERMAN AND DAVID DISHNEAU Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Jurors said they were deadlocked Tuesday as they weighed manslaughter and other charges against a police officer in the death of Freddie Gray. The judge told them to keep deliberating and they went home for the night without reaching a verdict.

ÂœĂ€ÂˆÂ˜ĂŒÂ…] -

The jury reported its difficulty in a note to Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams after about nine hours of discussions over two days. It wasn’t clear if they were stuck on one or more of the four charges Officer William Porter faces. He is the first of six officers to stand trial.

Armored vehicles and police were stationed around the city, and offi-

cials promised they were prepared for any unrest.

Parts of the city burned last spring after Gray’s death triggered frustration over the department’s alleged mistreatment of black people, and authorities were determined to prevent a repeat.

Earlier Tuesday, jurors requested highlighters, an easel and sticky notes, suggesting a business-

like approach to assessing Porter’s role in Gray’s arrest and death. They also received computer speakers to improve the sound quality of recordings in evidence, including Porter’s videotaped interview with Baltimore police detectives, police radio transmissions on the day Gray was arrested and cellphone videos made at two of the wagon’s six stops.

an appointee within that time period, then a request will be issued to the local election commissioner and a special election will be held.�

With Voyles’ term set to expire at the end of 2016, an election is already scheduled for the fall with the elected individual to begin office in 2017.

District two resident

David Boren asked the board to consider foregoing the appointment process and hold a special election for the post. “The level of interest in the position to try to fill James’ shoes is great,� said Boren. “Nothing will satisfy the people of the second district more than being able to elect the person who will rep-

resent them on the school board.�

Boren said he was worried that an appointee would enter the fall election for the post and would be given an unfair advantage.

However, board members said a special election is not the answer. “I would certainly hope that we would not have to have a special election,� said President Mary Coleman. “A special election would waste time and be an added cost to the public. I feel like we can be united in an appointee decision.�

Board member Carroll Morton offered Boren a promise. “We have in the past asked those we appointed to the board to not run for re-election, and I think we will do that this time, as well,� he said.

Bullard said the board cannot keep an appointee from entering the election for the position. “Whoever the appointee is, we need to point out that we would rather them not seek election,� added board member Randy Wilbanks.

No names were given as possible candidates for the appointment position.

Deadline for appointment is Feb. 29.

The next meeting of the school board is set for Jan. 11.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Dec. 16, the 350th day of 2015. There are 15 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 16, 1773, the Boston Tea Party took place as American colonists boarded a British ship and dumped more than 300 chests of tea into Boston Harbor to protest tea taxes.

On this date: In 1653, Oliver Cromwell became lord protector of England, Scotland and Ireland.

In 1809, the French Senate granted a divorce decree to Emperor Napoleon I and Empress Josephine (the dissolution was made final the following month).

In 1811, the first of the powerful New Madrid earthquakes struck the central Mississippi Valley with an estimated magnitude of 7.7.

In 1907, 16 U.S. Navy battleships, which came to be known as the “Great White Fleet,” set sail on a 14-month round-the-world voyage to demonstrate American sea power.

In 1944, the World War II Battle of the Bulge began as German forces launched a surprise attack against Allied forces through the Ardennes Forest in Belgium and Luxembourg (the Allies were eventually able to turn the Germans back).

In 1950, President Harry S. Truman proclaimed a national state of emergency in order to fight “world conquest by Communist imperialism.”

In 1976, the government halted its swine flu vaccination program following reports of paralysis apparently linked to the vaccine.

In 1985, at services in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, offered condolences to families of 248 soldiers killed in the crash of a chartered plane in Newfoundland.

In 1991, the U.N. General Assembly rescinded its 1975 resolution equating Zionism with racism by a vote of 111-25.

Across the Region Sheriff Buck signs right to carry letter McNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — Two West Tennessee sheriffs recently signed a letter encouraging citizens in their counties who are authorized to carry a firearms to “consider doing so for your personal safety and the safety of those who are with you.” It also encourages law enforcement officers, active and retired, to legally carry.

McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck is one who has signed the document.

The Tennessee Firearms Association said people need to know where their officials stand on the issue.

With 20 deputies in McNairy County, Sheriff Buck said their protection can only cover so much of the area.

Buck also said it is extremely important to be comfortable with your gun if you have a permit and that taking classes to enhance your knowledge and skills is important as well.

TFA hopes to get more reaction from sheriffs across the state in the coming weeks and months.

Community Center plans nativity scene SELMER, Tenn. — A live nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus will be at the Burnt Church Community Center (former White’s School) on Saturday, Dec. 19– Sunday, Dec. 20. Turkey Creek Baptist Church is presenting the live nativity for the 25th year. The scenes will be open from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. both nights.

There will be nine scenes to the drive-thru free event. This is a perfect way to come experience the true meaning of Christmas.

Turkey Creek has around 50 people from the church involved in the event in some fashion. The Bible characters in the nativity are Mary and Joseph, John the Baptist, the wise men, shepherds, along with others.

Burnt Church Community Center is at 110

School Drive.

FSA director picked in Prentiss County BOONEVILLE — Prentiss County native Nathan Brown of the New Site community has been appointed as the new Executive Director for the Farm Service Agency (FSA) for Prentiss County.

The position was formerly held by Alvin Topp who retired in fall of 2012. Since 2012 the office has been share managed by Phillip Horn who has now returned to his home office in Corinth.

He and his wife Juanita plan to live on their farm in the New Site Community.

Neighborhood hosts holiday light show IUKA – The annual Christmas Light Show is back in Iuka.

The neighborhood display of lights is viewable each night through Dec. 25 on Candy Cane Lane, otherwise known as County Road 288 in Iuka.

Santa Claus visiting park until Christmas SAVANNAH, Tenn. — Santa is taking a break from the North Pole this week and visiting with kids at Tennessee Street Park in Savannah.

From 5 until 8 p.m.

Police make arrest in October burglary STARKVILLE — A Starkville woman was put behind bars this week for a burglary that happened in October.

The Starkville Police Department says 36-year-old Carolyn Hoover was served a felony warrant for burglary Monday.

Authorities continue to investigate the case.

30 students receive bikes for Christmas VERONA — Christmas came early for students at Verona Elementary School this week.

All year long, students worked hard towards their goal, and for 30 lucky students it paid off.

On Tuesday, it wasn’t just a thank you or celebration for doing well in school. The kids were paid in a big way: a brand new bike and helmet, just in time for Christmas.

At the beginning of the year, the students were put to the test. The students had to excel in one of three categories to be entered to win the bike: reading, attendance or behavior.

Academy Sports in Tupelo donated the 30 bikes and helmets, which equals about $2,100.

1 arrested in bomb threat at Wal-Mart HOLLY SPRINGS – Police have arrested a man following a bomb threat made against a WalMart in Holly Springs.

Gregory Harris, 49, was booked Sunday on a charge of false reporting of a bomb or weapon of mass destruction.

The Holly Springs Police Department said in a Facebook post officials received a call Sunday afternoon regarding a bomb in the store.

When they arrived, employees told them that an angry customer said he had placed a bomb in the back of the store set to go off in 30 minutes.

Officers evacuated the store and bomb sniffing dogs conducted searches. No explosives were found.

Harris has been housed at Marshall County Sheriffs’ Department pending an appearance by the judge.

It isn’t clear if he has an attorney.

TUPELO — The Tupelo City Council is expected to approve a bid to build FEMA shelters at Lee Acres and Theron Nichols Park.

The shelters will be for anyone in the south side to use during the event of severe weather.

At this time, they do not have a design, but the shelters will hold 1,000 people each.

The money for the shelters has already been approved.

The deadline for the shelters is March 2017, and they hope to have them up before then.

Opinion

Mark Boehler, 4A • Wednesday, December 16, 2015 editor Corinth, Miss.

Paris’ climate make-believe Saving the planet has never been so easy.

The Paris climate talks concluded in a rousing round of self-congratulation over an agreement that, we are told, is the first step toward keeping Earth habitable. If generating headlines and press releases about making history were the metric for anything, Paris might be as consequential – if Rich misbegotten – as advertised.

The fact is that Paris is very Lowry meta. The agreement is about National the agreement, never mind Review what’s in it or what its true legal force is – namely, nil. Paris is a legally binding agreement not to have legally binding limits on emissions. It might be the most worthless piece of paper since the Kellogg-Briand Pact outlawed war – about a decade prior to the outbreak of World War II. Politico reported that the talks were almost derailed at the last minute by the accidental insertion of the word “shall” deep in the text, which, by implying a legal obligation, was to be avoided at all costs (the U.S. Senate would never give its assent to a legally binding treaty). The U.S. scrambled to change the offending word to “should.”

The Paris summit operated on the principle of CBDRILONCWRC, or “Common but Differentiated Responsibility in Light of National Circumstances With Respective Capability.” That means nothing was actually mandated on anyone because that proved – understandably enough, dealing with all the countries in the world – completely unworkable.

Instead, countries came up with so-called Intended Nationally Determined Contributions. That’s climate bureaucratese for “You make up your emissions target, whatever it is, and we will pretend to take it seriously.”

Thus, do the waters recede and Earth is saved from looming climate catastrophe.

Even if you believe the extremely dubious proposition that somehow the climate “consensus” perfectly understands perhaps the most complicated system on the planet, and can forecast with certitude and in detail what the global temperature will be a century from now, Paris is a charade. The best estimates are that, accepting the premises of the consensus, the deal will reduce warming 0.0 to 0.2 degrees Celsius.

President Barack Obama praised 180 countries for coming to Paris “with serious climate targets in hand.” This was ridiculous climate grade inflation. As Oren Cass of the Manhattan Institute points out, Pakistan produced a one-page document promising to “reduce its emissions after reaching peak levels to the extent possible.” For this we needed a headline-grabbing global confab?

No one will mistake Pakistan for an industrial juggernaut. How about China, the world’s largest carbon emitter? It promises to reach peak emissions around 2030, when one U.S. government study estimates that it would hit peak admissions anyway, Cass notes. The more China promises to confront climate change, the more it stays the same.

India’s assurance that it will make a roughly 30 percent improvement in carbon intensity is, according to Cass, also about where it was projected to be headed anyway. India still wants to double its output of coal by 2020.

The agreement’s celebrants believe that by making countries report their progress on cutting carbon emissions and by sending a stern signal against fossil fuels, Paris will catalyze painful cuts in carbon emissions somewhere off in the future. It speaks to a naive belief in the power of global shame over the sheer economic interest of developing countries in getting rich (and lifting countless millions out of poverty) through exploiting cheap energy – you know, the way Western countries have done for a couple of centuries.

If this is the best hope of the climate alarmists, their global campaign will be a welcome fizzle. All things considered, it probably is best that they occupy themselves with grand meetings and with the exertions attendant to believing their own PR. Otherwise they could do real damage.

Somebody kept the puppy about a year and a half – again, the vet asRheta signed an age Johnson – found her a bother and Columnist drove to my woods in the North Mississippi hollow to put her out. In a poor county with no animal shelter or conscience, it happens.

Her name is Lucinda, and that’s how I came to have a Christmas dog.

Lucinda sleeps in a boxstore dog bed atop a big brown club chair in the living room. Her manners are good, considering, except for a penchant for jumping to the center of the diningroom table when nobody’s looking.

My old dogs tolerate her, and they are excellent judges of character.

She looks good curled like a comma beneath the sepiatoned photograph of my husband as a child of 6 or 7 visiting Santa, probably for the last time.

Hines is perched lightly on Santa’s knee, and has his hands stuffed in his jeans pockets in a defensive kind of posture, as if to disabuse any notion of a hug. There’s a dubious look on his face that stops one shade short of a sneer.

This Santa would have had trouble fooling a newborn. His dark sideburns are visible beneath the Santa hat, and he looks maddog mean, not jolly.

Hines is hedging his bets, and Santa is making quick

With the tony, white-lit decorating everyone does these days, you don’t see as much of Santa Claus as you used to. It’s as if suddenly people find the Jolly Old Elf tacky.

I’ve thought of starting yet another campaign: “Put Claus back in Christmas!”

We need the idea of Santa Claus. He stands for the fantastical thought that someone cares – if we are sleeping, if we are awake. And because he cares, we should be good for goodness’ sake.

Plus, nobody wages war in the name of Santa Claus.

We can all agree on him.

I know, in a world, a country, where people

are mowed down at office Christmas parties there may be more to worry about than a dog dropped to die and the paucity of Santa Clauses. But I’ve reached the “Candide” stage of my life and increasingly believe there’s merit in tending my own garden.

Small things matter: old photos, lost dogs, a handme-down, handmade music box with an angel playing a Liberace grand. If it makes me smile, I keep it. Somehow I am still in love with life.

A puppy was not in our plans. Travel was. We keep insisting to one another that someone will see Lucinda and want to adopt her, and that will be fine by us.

She will be someone else’s Christmas puppy.

But Lucinda looks at us with her coffee eyes the same way Hines is looking at Santa Claus in the old photo. She’s not buying it.

of the world’s carbon pollution comes from the developing world.”

Being a liberal means never having to admit error. Liberalism, it appears, has always been about intentions and feelings, not results. Fighting “climate change” makes liberals feel good. There has been a near complete media blackout and intimidation of anyone presenting contrary scientific evidence disproving the theory that Earth is warming and humans are responsible. Quentin Letts, a BBC presenter, had his radio program pulled from the BBC’s iPlayer playback facility for, according to him, showing “disrespect for climate change,” after protests from global warming adherents, which the UK Daily Mail later dubbed the “Green Gestapo.”

This phony doctrine is being shoved down our throats by people who continue to fly in private jets and ride in gas-guzzling SUVs while telling the rest of us to walk or ride bikes.

Not that facts matter to the major media and others who have embraced the doctrines of this new religion, but here are some anyway because, in my opinion, belief in “climate change” is on a par with childhood faith in Santa Claus and the

tooth fairy.

Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) is a scientific research company located in Northern California, specializing in satellite microwave remote sensing of the Earth. According to RSS, the Earth’s temperature has not increased in the last 18 years and nine months, a record.

As previously noted in this column, predictions of global warming have been based on imperfect computer models. That those models do not reflect reality has not affected the minds or policies of people who worship at the altar of government and wish to impose additional regulations on already overburdened corporations and individuals.

As The Daily Caller website reported last June, “Data from America’s most advanced climate monitoring system shows the U.S. has undergone a cooling trend over the last decade, despite recent claims by government scientists that warming has accelerated worldwide during that time.”

This reflects a pattern we have seen throughout history. In the 1970s, scientists and the media were promoting “global cooling” to advance their “chicken little” fantasy that life as we

know it on Earth was about to end. They were wrong then and they are wrong now. But there is money and political power associated with climate change orthodoxy and next to sex, humans lust after these more than anything else.

If you are a climate change disciple, or confused, do yourself a favor.

Visit climatedepot.org and see the film “Climate Hustle,” which premiered in Paris during the UN gathering. The film attracted protestors largely because global warming cultists want to suppress any information that runs counter to their beliefs.

There is nothing wrong and much right about the goal of reducing pollution, especially in China, the world’s worst polluter, but “global warming” shouldn’t be the reason.

If John Kerry is right – and the evidence suggests he is – why would the U.S. and other developed countries stifle their growth potential by embracing a false doctrine that could lead to predictable and even unforeseen economic consequences?

You will have to ask a climate change disciple.

Blue Mountain BSU returns to Mission Arlington BLUE MOUNTAIN — The Blue Mountain College Baptist Student Union (BSU) is preparing to return to the mission field Friday, as they head to Arlington, Texas to bring the love of Christ to its people.

An annual tradition of approximately 20 trips, BSU Director Tracy Moser and her husband Jack, Dean of Students at BMC, will lead a group of 28 students to the Lone Star State to work in the Mission Arlington Christmas Store.

Preparation for the Christmas Store begins each year the day after Christmas. Toy gift donations in new or nearly new condition are received year round. Teams of volunteers work periodically throughout the year to get the store ready, and more intensely as Thanksgiving passes and Christmas looms. This free store allows parents to choose the gifts for their children, and have them gift-wrapped, then

“I want them to get a fire for serving the Lord through missions and hopefully that will lead to other outlets such as serving in their community and on other mission trips,” Mrs. Moser said.

Veterans in the mission field, the Mosers have become accustomed to spending Christmas each year on the mission field with students, leading groups as far as East Asia to spread the Gospel.

With over 60 mission trips under her belt, the BSU leader still remembers her first international trip to Brazil.

“That was my first in-

ternational trip on missions. My mom went, and I was so nervous. I met my first witch-doctor and got yelled at by an irate man. I also got kissed more times on the cheek than I ever have.”

While international missions has a place in her heart, Tracy believes that the Arlington field is just as important.

“I go back year after

year because they know how to put you to work.

Last year, we had a lady saved. All though it isn’t an international trip, about 20-percent of the people we meet will be from another country. It is a lot of community service, and you can do that a lot of places, but you do it on a different scale. They creatively serve their community,” she stated.

Last Christmas, the Mission Arlington Christmas Store served 7,522 families and made sure 32,246 children had Christmas gifts.

Blue Mountain College President, Dr. Barbara McMillin echoed Mrs. Moser’s sentiments on servanthood as part of the Christian university experience.

“The Christmas season is a time to celebrate the One who came not to be served but to serve. The willingness of our students to devote a portion of their break to serve others at Mission Arlington mirrors the expecta-

Neighbors set up thieves with decoy shipping boxes Associated Press

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — A man in one Utah community says his neighbors have begun placing decoy packages on front porches in an effort to thwart holiday delivery thieves.

Rocks, old clothes and junk televisions are among items that resident Kroger Menzer says residents in the Daybreak neighborhood of South Jordan have been putting in shipping boxes. People are also using surveillance video.

He said police don’t want residents putting themselves in danger by confronting thieves.

They recommend using surveillance video instead.

“If it’s a good system, they can get some very good pictures,” Barker said. “If you can get the car, and especially the license plate, that’s very helpful in tracking these individuals down.”

Barker also recommended picking up packages at delivery service locations.

by Tillie Burgen, a missionary to South Korea, with the purpose of bringing church to people in the city. Tillie, along with her church family, First Baptist Church of Arlington, began a season of prayer that lasted four months and culminated into a vast network of Christian volunteers from around the world who come together at Christmas to form a Kingdom Vision.

Today, people of all ages gather each week to hear the Bible taught in multiple languages in 349 locations in Arlington and the larger Dallas/Fort Worth region. Meetings are held in neighborhood homes, apartment club houses, mobile home parks and in any other location where people can gather together to hear God’s Word.

Budget writers suggest ABB takes over failed solar education, health cuts panel company’s building

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi’s top budget writers are recommending spending cuts to schools, universities, community colleges, prisons, Medicaid, and mental health and human services for the coming year.

The Joint Legislative Budget Committee met Tuesday and approved an initial blueprint for fiscal 2017, which begins July 1.

The blueprint recommends how to spend nearly $6.2 billion in state money. That’s a 1.6 percent decrease from the current year because of slow economic growth.

The plan approved by the 14-member committee is only a starting point. Detailed budget discussions will take place starting in January, once members of the House and Senate begin a new four-year term.

“While we certainly would have loved to see more revenue growth, this committee has done the fiscally responsible thing,” said Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, the Budget Committee chair-

man.

One of the few increases in the blueprint is $2.7 million for a previous commitment to give a pay raise to state troopers. The plan also recommends $900,000 to cover salaries for new judges and their staff members, for recently created judicial positions.

Budget writers on Tuesday said their FY17 proposal would not pay for ongoing expenses by using sources of money that are available only one year at a time, from things such as lawsuit settlements.

“Mississippi is in good financial shape,” said House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton. He noted that though some other states are making midyear budget cuts, Mississippi has about $400 million in financial reserves.

However, while lawmakers say the state is spending a record amount on education, the FY16 budget fell about $201 million short of fulfilling obligations of the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, a complex formula designed to give each school district

WE SEE KIDS: DR. ROBERT SHAPPLEY 804 Childs Street • Corinth (Behind Corinth Dry Cleaners)

LET US ASSIST YOU WITH YOUR SCHOLAR’S EYE CARE NEEDS

enough money to meet midlevel academic standards. The formula has been fully funded only two years since it was put into law in 1997, and under the recommendations approved Tuesday, the state would put the same amount of money into the formula in FY17 as it is this year. Other portions of the budget for elementary and secondary schools would be cut $170 million, or 3.1 percent, under the plan.

Reeves said that in past few years, the state has given universities and community colleges money to repair buildings on campus. He said that money would stop in FY17, which is a big reason for the recommended cuts in higher education.

The proposal would eliminate 2,574 vacant positions in state government, reduce spending on travel and contract services, and delay the purchase of some equipment.

The FY17 proposal does not count on spending any of the lawsuit settlement money that Mississippi is supposed to receive because of the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

JACKSON, Miss. — Swiss firm ABB has taken over a building in Senatobia once occupied by defunct solar firm Twin Creeks Technologies and plans to hire 300 people over the next five years.

The company will lease the building for up to 15 years and make electrical control panels and other components for commercial and industrial use. It plans to initially invest $7 million in equipment, a total that could rise if it buys the building and expands.

ABB’s arrival means Senatobia can resume making payments to the Mississippi Development Authority on $18 million it borrowed to build the structure. Mississippi lost $27.7 million to Twin Creeks, recouping only $1.25 million, in one of a series of troubled alternative energy investments made by the state under Gov. Haley Barbour. Since Twin Creeks moved out in early 2013, the state has been seeking a new user for the building and is still trying to sell equipment that Twin Creeks

money.

The Twin Creeks building has 85,000 square feet, and London said expansion is likely in two to three years. Climer said ABB has plans for a 120,000-square-foot addition on the 38-acre site and will rent part of another city-owned building in the meantime for storage.

“Any future expansions will be fueled by continued market demand and growth,” Buley said.

ABB has an option to buy the building. At that point, the state would release Senatobia from any remaining debt on the $18 million loan, under terms of a 2013 settlement. London said ABB is “likely” to buy the building.

ABB bought Thomas & Betts, which had been based in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2012 for $3.9 billion. Buley said the products that would be made in Senatobia are historically ABB products, though part of the company’s strategy is to use the Thomas & Betts acquisition to expand its offerings in the United States.

bought with an $8 million state loan.

Director of Operations, Quality and Information Systems Ben Buley, in emailed answers Tuesday to questions, wrote that ABB would begin moving production to Senatobia in January.

The company plans to hire 100 workers in 2016, another 100 by 2019 and another 100 by 2021.

MDA will give ABB $3.5 million to help with infrastructure and workforce training. The city and county plan 10-year exemptions from property taxes other than those for schools, but MDA spokeswoman Tammy Craft couldn’t immediately project the worth of those tax breaks.

Tim Climer, executive director of the Tate County Development Foundation, said the company had initially looked at sites closer to Memphis, Tennessee. ABB had announced in March that it would spend $30 million on a new 118,000-squarefoot factory in the region.

ABB spokeswoman Melissa London said taking over an existing building means the company can get started faster for less

State won’t appeal Sandusky’s pension HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s large public-sector pension system isn’t appealing a court order that restores a $4,900-amonth pension to former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The 30-day window has expired during which the State Employees’ Retirement System could have appealed a Nov. 13 Commonwealth Court ruling that said the system was wrong to classify Sandusky as a university employee at the time of the child sex abuse crimes that were the basis of his pension forfeiture.

System spokesman Jay Pagni said Tuesday no money has yet been paid to Sandusky and his wife Dottie, who are owed back benefits plus interest, going back to when his pension payments were ended in October 2012.

He said officials will be in contact with the Sanduskys’ representatives to determine how much is owed.

Sandusky collected a $148,000 lump sum upon retirement.

“The system will comply with the court order,” Pagni said.

The court said Sandusky did not maintain an employer-employee relationship with the university after 1999, when he retired after decades with Penn State.

Email threat closes California schools LOS ANGELES — The nation’s second-largest school district shut down Tuesday after a school board member received an emailed threat that raised fears of another attack like the deadly shooting in nearby San Bernardino.

Authorities in New York City said they received the same threat but quickly concluded that it was a hoax.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters that he was “absolutely convinced” there was no danger to schoolchildren in his city.

“There was nothing credible about the threat. It was so outlandish,” de Blasio said.

New York Police Commissioner William Bratton agreed, quipping that it looked like the sender of the threat watched a lot of the Showtime terrorism drama “Homeland.”

Hours later, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee also said the threat was believed to

be a hoax.

Los Angeles officials defended the move.

“It is very easy in hindsight to criticize a decision based on results the decider could never have known,” LA Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference.

The shutdown abruptly closed more than 900 public schools and 187 charter schools attended by 640,000 students across Los Angeles.

Superintendent Ramon Cortines said every campus would be searched, and he asked for a report on the searches certifying that all buildings are safe.

Singer celebrated on 100th birthday NEW YORK — Edith Piaf would have turned 100 this month and never has she been more vital.

The cabaret singer who once sang on the streets for spare change was celebrated and channeled by the likes of Madonna and Celine Dion in the days after the worst attack on French soil in more than a half-century.

“She knew what is trauma. She knew what is hurting. She cried in her life,” said Christine Laume, her sister-inlaw. “I’m sure if she was alive she would be so sorry for what happened to France.”

Piaf, famous for her hit “La Vie En Rose,” stood only 4 feet 8 inches, yet her voice was strong and distinctive, a trembling alto wail that became the voice of the Paris working class.

She was nicknamed Little Sparrow.

Smaller counties driving jail growth NEW YORK — While big-city jails get most of the attention, lockups in small and medium-sized counties have actually driven the overall explosion in the U.S. inmate population, according to a new analysis of 45 years of jail statistics.

U.S. jails now hold nearly 700,000 inmates on any given day, up from 157,000 in 1970, and the Vera Institute of Justice found that smaller counties now hold 44 percent of the overall total, up from just 28 percent in 1978.

Jail populations in mid-sized counties with populations of 250,000 to 1 million residents grew by four times and small-sized counties with 250,000 residents or less grew by nearly seven times, Vera’s analysis shows. In that time large county jail populations grew by only about three times.

Exactly what’s behind that trend is not clear but experts say a range of factors likely contribute, from law enforcement’s increased use of summonses and traffic tickets to the closing of state mental hospitals in that time.

Grant announced for wildlife habitat JACKSON — The United States Department of Agriculture says it will give about $50 million to help agricultural producers who want to restore and protect wildlife habitat for seven species, including the gopher tortoise in Mississippi.

The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service said in a news release Monday that it’ll invest about $3.4 million on habitat restoration for the pine forest-dwelling gopher tortoise. The species is listed as threatened in the western part of its range under the Endangered Species Act. Since 2012, NRCS worked with land managers to make conservation improvements to more than 278,000 acres of pine forest, benefiting the gopher tortoise and other species.

Music trail to unveil marker for Faith Hill STAR — The Mississippi Country Music Trail will unveil its 30th marker, honoring award-winning country singer Faith Hill.

Visit Mississippi, a division of the Mississippi Development Authority, said in a news release Monday that the ceremony will take place Saturday in Hill’s hometown of Star.

Growing up in Star, Hill moved to Nashville when she was 19 to become a country singer.

Since then, she has had 14 number-one singles and multiple albums topping both the Billboard Top 100 and Country charts.

Hill has won five Grammy Awards as well as 12 Academy of Country Music Awards.

County starts family drug court program BILOXI — Harrison County is launching a program to help parents struggling with drug problems who have children in the Department of Human Services system.

The Sun Herald reports it will be known as family drug court, the third in the state.

The county will receive a $65,000 reimbursement from the state to hire a therapist for drug treatment and for drug testing.

Youth Court Judge Margaret Alfonso didn’t immediately have specific numbers on how many parents in Harrison County’s youth court system suffered from drug addiction but said it was a high percentage.

“It’s not just the taxpayer savings this would bring,” she said. “It’s

about the human toll.”

Getting parents help earlier could prevent their children from being taken into foster care or could help children more quickly return to their parents, Alfonso said.

Antebellum homes get grant funding NATCHEZ — Two Natchez antebellum houses have been awarded more than $300,000 in state grant funding for repairs and restoration work.

The Natchez Democrat reports the Mississippi Department of Archives and History awarded $103,455 to Auburn Antebellum Home and $209,707 to Magnolia Hall.

The money for Auburn will be used toward repairing balconies, columns and the gutter system, as well as reglazing windows and purchasing new paint. Auburn is owned by the City of Natchez but is operated by a volunteer nonprofit organization.

Is the Federal Reserve ready to begin raising its benchmark interest rate for the first time in a decade?

Economists and many on Wall Street anticipate that the answer to that question will come today, when the central bank delivers a statement on its interest rate policy following a two-day meeting of the Fed’s policymakers. A Fed rate hike would signal that the central bank is confident the economy is strong enough to withstand higher borrowing costs.

Taco Bell takes center stage Taco Bell is about to take center stage at Yum Brands.

Yum plans to spin off its troubled China division, which should enable the company that owns KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut to better play to its strengths. While KFC and Pizza Hut have struggled in the U.S., Taco Bell has been a bright spot.

The chain known for its Gorditas and Chalupas has been posting encouraging sales figures, fueled by a series of moves that have generated excitement among its

younger fan base.

Taco Bell has been trying to keep its momentum going ever since the launch of its popular Doritos-flavored tacos in 2012. That includes the launch of a national breakfast menu featuring a waffle taco. It also began testing alcohol as part of a push to recast itself as a trendier chain.

“With Yum’s split on the horizon, we believe investor focus will increasingly shift from concerns around China to optimism for Taco Bell,” said Andrew Charles, a Cowen analyst.

Quarterly same-store sales, percent change Taco Bell in U.S. All Yum brands in China

Yum’s star performer Spinning off its troubled China business will allow Yum to focus more on Taco Bell, its best performing chain in the U.S. Analysts say this will make the company more attractive to investors.

Couples have themselves a merry, little wedding

BY LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK — From red marzipan bows on the cake to holiday wreaths on tables, December brides and grooms have found many ways to incorporate Christmas into their weddings.

December nuptials remain a small minority — 2 percent of couples surveyed last year by the bridal site TheKnot.com — and not all are looking to take on the holiday in a big way, but embracing readily available festive decor makes it easy to incorporate the spirit of the season. And it saves money in the process.

“But couples should keep in mind that there may be competition for venues thanks to holiday parties,” said Lauren Kay, senior style editor for TheKnot.

Brighid Molway and David Burns plan to take photos in front of a huge Christmas tree inside the 900 North Michigan Shops when they tie the knot the evening of Dec. 19 at a downtown Chicago hotel. Their DJ has a play list of holiday songs, including Elvis singing “Blue Christmas” and two versions of “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby and The Drifters.

Molway and Burns will take to the floor at their reception for their first dance as a married couple to Judy Garland singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Clips from “It’s a Wonderful Life” will roll on a screen as they dance, Molway said.

“That was my mom’s favorite Christmas movie and she is no longer with us, so we’re going to dedi-

cate the dance to her,” Molway said. “We decided to get married around this time because it’s my favorite time of year. It’s also a time that screams family to me.”

The two will hand out ornaments at their rehearsal dinner and also plan outside photos taking advantage of the plentiful holiday decorations around town.

For Suzanne McCullough’s Dec. 4 wedding five years ago, it started with her dress.

She wanted velvet.

“We needed a time of the year when velvet would be appropriate so we decided on Christmas, which I think is the most romantic time of the year anyway,” said McCullough, of Burlington, New Jersey.

“We were married in a 300-year-old bed-

and-breakfast that was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We served a hot wine punch with hors d’oeuvres and a croquembouche for dessert,” she said.

Their centerpieces were wreaths with frosted red berries tucked in and a mirror and a votive candle at the center. McCullough’s bouquet featured red and white flowers, and a flower girl wore a sparkly, Christmas red dress.

“The town’s Christmas parade was going on while we were being married,” she recalled.

Kellee Khalil, founder and chief executive of the wedding site Lover. ly, said incorporating holiday touches can span the wedding experience, Khalil said.

Try serving up some seasonal favorites, for

instance, such as roast turkey or ham. Embrace modern mixology with cocktails like a peppermint bark martini or a bourbon-cranberry blizzard.

“If you’re not about those flavors, opt for more festive accoutrements like red and white or metallicstripe straws and swizzle sticks with candy cane stirrers,” Khalil suggests.

Couples can orchestrate holiday decor without falling prey to a playedout color palette, she said.

“I love mixing metallics like gold, silver, bronze, rose gold, platinum and pearl into tablescapes.

“Or get a little bit more literal with mistletoe.

Hang it at the altar or use it as the muse for your photo booth,” Khalil said.

For couples willing to go over the top, treat guests to a performance

by carolers, she said.

Maybe have Santa make an appearance for little guests. Set up a hot cocoa and cookie station with frosting to keep them occupied.

Susan Colby was married Dec. 14, 2013, at a Chicago hotel that was beautifully decorated for the season. Her white, four-tier cake had an edible bow at the top, with ribbons cascading down to the red tablecloth at the cake station. Her groom wore a red bow tie and vest with his tuxedo and Colby’s bouquet was red roses.

For photos, they draped themselves in a string of twinkling snowflake lights that matched a snowflake bauble in her hair.

“I love Christmas,” she said, “and couldn’t imagine getting married any other time of the year.”

Man creates fantasy Siri, Cortana and ‘OK Google’: Who’s better card game for kids Now that just about anyone

BY BRANDON BAILEY AP Technology Writer

Associated Press

BOSTON — When Darren Kisgen decided to make a game, his only goal was to entertain his family. But over the past few months, the finance professor at Boston College has seen his game selling thousands of copies around the world and winning a big prize.

“I’m surprised by all of this,” said Kisgen, a former Wall Street investment banker who now lives outside Boston. “Frankly, it’s been a lot of fun.”

Called Dragonwood, the game borrows ideas from poker and rummy but blends them into a fantasy world of dragons and goblins. By drawing a strong hand, players can boost their chances of “capturing” mythical creatures in a fictional forest, which helps them win the game. It’s advertised for anyone 8 years old and up.

The idea struck Kisgen two years ago after he found that most fantasy games were too complicated or violent for his two children, who were 5 and 7 at the time.

“I felt like I was missing a game that I would want to play with them, so I decided to try to come up with that game myself,” he said.

He called it Forest Quest, built with ordinary playing cards and dice. But over time, Kisgen thought it would be more fun with colorful cards illustrating the dragons, trolls and ogres.

So he sent a prototype to

a nearby game publisher, Gamewright, which provided art for the cards and began selling it as Dragonwood earlier this year.

The game has sold more than 20,000 copies since summer, Gamewright said, making it one of the top-selling games from the Massachusetts publisher.

It also won a top gaming prize from Mensa, a society for people with high IQs. Once a year, members of Mensa meet for a weekend to test dozens of new board games and recognize those seen as original, challenging and well-designed. This year, Kisgen’s game was one of five winners out of more than 60 they tested.

Greg Webster, the event’s chief judge, praised Dragonwood for its simplicity but said it also lets players employ a variety of strategies that can lead to victory.

“It makes it interesting to play when you’ve got different options and you’re not locked in,” he said.

In recent years, Webster added, it has become more common to see popular games that started out as a casual idea in someone’s living room.

“They say this is the golden age of board gaming, and I think that’s true,” he said. “There are so many ways for someone who has an idea for a board game to pull it together.”

The game is also winning nods as an educational tool that can teach kids about arithmetic, number patterns and probability.

First up: Some basic factual questions.

All three did pretty well when asked, “What’s it like outside?”

Cortana earned extra points for answering with a spoken weather report. Google and Siri each showed a screen image that listed current conditions and a forecast.

All three supplied President Obama’s age.

When asked “What’s his wife’s name?” they all remembered that the question referred to the president, and correctly identified the First Lady: Michelle Obama.

Similarly, they all knew the length of the Golden Gate Bridge. But for some reason, Siri answered in meters, while Cortana and Google stuck to feet.

At your service Next came more complicated tasks, like finding the nearest pharmacy. Google and Siri listed three within a half-mile of The Associated Press bureau in downtown San Francisco. But neither mentioned the drug store on the ground floor of the building where the bureau is located. Cortana did.

Posing questions is hungry work. I asked for help making a lunch reservation at Credo, a fancy restaurant around the corner. Siri and Cortana were stumped, but Google automatically fired up the Open Table app on the Nexus phone, with the form already

Cotton plant WHAT:

SAN FRANCISCO — Cortana’s learning the neighborhood. Google’s digital assistant can’t tell a joke. And Siri apparently has a thing for the metric system.

Those are just a few of the things I learned after staging a face-off between the three leading digital assistants. Apple’s Siri and “OK Google” — they’re not big on personification at Google — are now standard on smartphones; Microsoft recently added its Cortana service to Windows 10, so it works on PCs, too.

Now that just about anyone can talk to their phone or computer, we wanted to see what happens when you try.

Though none of the assistants are perfect, they do have distinct personalities, even if they’re just deliberate artifacts of their creators.

I asked the same 10 questions of each service, using an iPhone with Siri, a Nexus phone with Android’s “OK Google” and a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet with Cortana.

filled out to make a reservation. Too bad the place is so trendy; it was booked for weeks.

Ever feel like ducking work to catch an afternoon movie? (Shhh!

Don’t tell my editor.) All three assistants had local movie listings at their digital fingertips. But Siri led off with a new release at a theater just half a mile from the AP bureau. With a couple of taps, Siri had opened Fandango, an app that lets you buy tickets online.

Google also connected with Fandango. Cortana had more trouble; Microsoft lags behind Apple and Google in the number of apps that work with its software, and I couldn’t get the right Fandango app to load on a Surface tablet.

Just for laughs Finally, a personality test. I challenged each to tell a joke. Siri had the best answer: “If I told you a joke in my language, I’d have to explain it.”

Then I tried the famous line from “2001: A Space Odyssey” in which astronaut Dave

Final score All three services are good on factual questions. Siri’s programmers have the best sense of humor. Google stays focused on the task at hand. And Cortana is quickly catching up to both of them.

Bowman tells the ship’s computer: “Open the pod bay doors.” Cortana knows the right answer: “I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

But Siri had a better one: “Doesn’t anybody knock anymore?”

To be clear, these aren’t the witty rejoinders of some artificial intelligence. The creators of Siri and Cortana thought it would be fun to pre-load each service with humorous answers to predictable questions.

Google doesn’t bother with such frills. Sticking to its search-engine roots, “OK Google” answered the “2001” question by silently presenting a series of Internet links, starting with one for a YouTube clip from the movie.

Likewise, when asked about the meaning of life, Siri and Cortana were both ready with a quip.

Google just recited a dry definition that only a biologist could love: “Life is the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter. ...”

Woman who wants implants must ignore boyfriend’s threats D E A R ABBY: I have always struggled with a lack of self-esteem and confidence.

Abigail I would like get breast Van Buren to implants. It’s not to seek Dear Abby attention or anything; it’s merely to feel better about myself.

Clothes don’t fit me properly, and I am embarrassed.

My boyfriend is completely against it.

He says he doesn’t want to be with a fake person, even though I have tried in vain to tell him I’ll be the same person on the inside.

He has also threatened that we will have relationship problems if I have the surgery done.

This procedure will, in my opinion, help me in many ways.

On the other hand, I don’t want to lose my boyfriend!

Please help. -- DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE HIM DEAR DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE HIM: Which is more important to you -- to do something that will make you feel more confident about your appearance or hang onto this boyfriend?

He may be worried that you

will attract too much attention if you change your appearance, or have a hang-up about “relations” with a woman who has implants.

If he were your husband, I might answer differently, but from where I sit, you have to do what’s best for you.

A boyfriend who would prevent you from boosting your self-confidence strikes me as selfish and not much of a “friend” at all.

DEAR ABBY: I’m saddened by the mistresses of today, also known as “side chicks.”

These women have no morality or conscience. Yet their status seems to be glorified all over social media.

What advice would you give to my friends who are contemplating joining in this madness as a “hustle” and a way to get child support from married men? -DISGUSTED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DISGUSTED: You are describing entrapment and extortion.

A woman who would do this is lacking ethics, morals and selfrespect.

That kind of individual isn’t likely to listen to advice from me. I do have some, however, for YOU. End those “friendships” because, on an important level, you have nothing in common with these shameless users.

I pity the children, who are nothing more than meal tickets to their mothers.

DEAR ABBY: I am vegan, which makes dining out an adventure. In restaurants, veggies and pasta or a veggie wrap are pretty much a go-to. At family functions (weddings, showers), I bring my own non-dairy milk and butter and try not to call attention to myself. When someone (inevitably) notices, the questions begin, which I don’t mind.

What I DO mind, however, is the hostility I encounter. “What makes you think you’re better than the rest of us?” is the most common comment. I don’t think I am, and I certainly have never implied it.

I need a response that won’t fuel the fire and will hopefully allow me to eat in peace.

Thoughts? -- VEGAN GIRL IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR VEGAN GIRL: Try this: “I’m sorry you got that impression, because it’s not the way I feel. It’s simply the way I choose to eat.”

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You will be learning the ropes in some way. This is no time for making up your own rules. You can do that later when you’re the leader. Right now, focus on duplicating the instruction to the best of your ability.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Some flashes of insight feel brand new, while other insights feel like ancient knowledge resurfacing. Both kinds of thinking will come to you on this intellectually charged day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There’s still a space you’re holding open for the return of the one who left long ago. Occasionally, you’ll get a haunting -- a surprise pop-in visit, a dream or a wonderfully vivid memory. This will happen today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

For you, being creative isn’t just something to do. It’s an actual survival impulse. It’s also what will motivate today’s best work, a combination of acute inspiration and the driving need to make something.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Injustice can be subtle, but usually, even if you don’t notice it right away, you leave the scene with a sense that something wasn’t quite right. Work it out until you realize what’s off. You can make a difference.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re a problem-solving machine. You’ll speak your mind, ask for the truth, hear when it’s not, get to the bottom of it and have everything handled by the end of the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The opposite of confidence is self-consciousness. At this point, wondering how you’re doing will only diminish your performance. Commit wholly.

You might be wrong, but at least you’ll be strong and wrong.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The same challenge that used to worry you to the point of insomnia is now so easy for you that you could win it in your sleep. The only problem is now you long for a worthy opponent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Activities that you could do alone, such as reading, listening to music or watching television, will be made sweeter and more interesting when you do them with a friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll motivate yourself by envisioning either the outcome you’re most afraid of or the outcome you most desire. Try both. The first will be intensely effective, the second pleasantly so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s not that you’re trying to be emotionally unavailable toward a certain person; it’s just that your emotions are all tied up in another situation. You have to sort it out before you can invest yourself in any other direction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

People who need constant attention and validation take a lot of energy to be around, which is why you make the effort to be self-sufficient in this regard.

Self-appreciation and care is one of your gifts to the world.

Remembering Sprint Cup legend Ron Bouchard

*HWW\ ,PDJHV IRU 7DOODGHJD 6XSHUVSHHGZD\

To the casual NASCAR fan, Ron Bouchard, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was best known for his upset win in the 1981 Talladega 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. To those who really study stock car racing, Bouchardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy is much greater. He was one of a group of drivers who joined the elite NASCAR circuit now known as Sprint Cup in the late 1970s-early 1980s and helped launch a period of dramatic growth in the sport.

Bouchard, who died Dec. 10 at age 67 following a battle with cancer, was in a group that included Geoffrey Bodine, Morgan Shepherd, Harry Gant, and even the late Dale Earnhardt.

Unlike most of the Cup newcomers of the current era, Bouchard and his peers came to NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite series after having established themselves and built large fan followings on the shorttrack circuits across America.

When they came to NASCAR, they brought along their signiďŹ cant fan bases, thereby helping propel NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth, whereas todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newcomers often reach the top levels after only limited participation on the short tracks.

Bouchard started driving his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars at the old Brookline Speedway and became one of the bigger stars of the ModiďŹ ed circuit in the Northeast at a time when that circuit was at its peak and featured many of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most talented drivers.

Bouchard was especially successful at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, where he won 35 features and two track championships, in 1973 and 1979. He also won races and track championships at venues all along the eastern U.S.

NOTEBOOK

Therefore, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprising that he brought legions of fans with him when he joined the series now known as Sprint Cup early in the 1981 season, driving the No. 47 Buick owned by fellow New England racer Jack Beebe and crew chief Bob Johnson, another New England veteran.

Noted motorsports journalist Mark â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bonesâ&#x20AC;? Bourcier, who followed Bouchard throughout his career and remained friends with him after his racing days, is among those who say Bouchardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on auto racing in general was signiďŹ cant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d run his ďŹ rst Cup race in 1981, Ronnie already had a win total way up into the three digits,â&#x20AC;? Bourcier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d win literally from New England to Florida, and at all the major asphalt ModiďŹ ed tracks, from Martinsville to Pocono to Oswego to Stafford Springs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the process, tens of thousands of fans had watched him at work. So when Ronnie climbed up to the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big time,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the hearts of those fans made the climb with him, and he sure didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them down.â&#x20AC;?

Bouchard was the 1981 Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year, and won two races, both at Darlington Raceway, in the series now known as XďŹ nity. But it was the summer race at Talladega in 1981 that was his biggest moment in a Sprint Cup career that spanned 160 races from 1981-87 and saw him record 19 top-5 and 60 top-10 ďŹ nishes.

Bouchard recalled that 1981 victory in an interview with track staffers at Talladega in 2013.

In the race, Darrell Waltrip and Terry Labonte were battling each other for the lead on the ďŹ nal lap, and both were surprised when Bouchard drafted past them at the ďŹ nish line to win by a two-foot margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we ďŹ rst went there, Buddy Baker told me that one of the differences at this track was that when you came off Turn Four, you had to remember that the start-ďŹ nish line wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the tri-oval,â&#x20AC;? Bouchard said in that 2013 interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He actually went through the scenario with me where he said if, for some reason, I was third coming off Turn Four, I needed to wait until the second-place guy made his move, then go the other way, because, at that point, there was still plenty of time to draft by those guys at the line.â&#x20AC;?

Bouchard was thinking about what the late Baker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a master in the draft at Talladega â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had told him when the exact scenario they discussed began to play out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terry (Labonte) jumped to the high side of Darrell (Waltrip),â&#x20AC;?

Bouchard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, the only thing Darrell was worried about was Terry, and I got a draft off the two of them. When I passed them, I remember thinking as we crossed the stripe, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a son-of-a-gun if Baker didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about this very thing, and it happened just like he said.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

After his racing days were over, Bouchard operated auto dealerships and opened a racing museum. He was a member of the ďŹ rst class of the New England Auto Racers Hall of Fame, which held its ďŹ rst induction in 1998.

In racing and afterward, Bouchard was remembered for being more than just an outstanding driver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was aces in my book, as a racer and a good guy,â&#x20AC;? Bourcier said.

JTG Daugherty announces new hires for 2016 season JTG Daugherty Racing, which fields the No. 47 Chevrolet driven by A.J. Allmendinger, has announced the hiring of Ernie Cope as director of competition and Randall Burnett as crew chief of the No. 47. Cope most recently worked in the Xfinity Series as crew chief for Chase Elliott on the No. 9 Chevrolet at JR Motorsports. Earlier in his career, he worked at JTG Daugherty, Kevin Harvick Inc., Wood Brothers Racing and Richard Childress Racing. In 13 seasons as a crew chief, Cope has 15 victories in the Xfinity Series and nine in the Camping World Truck Series.

Burnett comes to JTG Daugherty after 10 years at Chip Ganassi Racing, where, among other duties, he was an engineer for Kyle Larson in 2014 and 2015.

Brian Scott to replace Sam Hornish Jr. at RPM Brian Scott has been named driver of the No. 9 Ford at Richard Petty Motorsports, replacing Sam Hornish Jr., whose contract was not renewed.

Scott comes to RPM from Richard Childress Racing, where he ran a limited, 10-race Sprint Cup schedule this season along with a full XďŹ nity Series campaign.

Scott, a native of Boise, Idaho, brings along sponsorship from his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shore Lodge in McCall, Idaho. He will join Aric Almirola, who drives RPMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 43 Ford; a crew chief for Scott will be named later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thrilled to go Sprint Cup Series racing full time next year and to do it with such an iconic team,â&#x20AC;? Scott said in a team release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you think NASCAR racing, you think Petty. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to now be a part of that legacy. I had a lot of fun competing in the XďŹ nity Series for the last seven years, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to take the next step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran some races in the Sprint Cup Series the last few years and learned a lot. I feel like we are in a good position to compete for the Rookie of the Year next year and continue the consistency that RPM built over the last few years.â&#x20AC;?

In 208 XďŹ nity starts, Scott has posted 20 top5 ďŹ nishes, 77 top-10s and ďŹ ve poles. Though he is winless to date in XďŹ nity, he does have two Camping World Truck Series victories and four runner-up ďŹ nishes in the XďŹ nity Series.

Chris Buescher, the 2015 XďŹ nity Series champion, is getting a full-time Sprint Cup ride in the No. 34 Ford at Front Row Motorsports.

Buescher, a 23-year-old native of Prosper, Texas, drove the No. 34 in six Cup races this season, with a best ďŹ nish of 20th, at Auto Club Speedway. Better results are expected in 2016, as the No. 34 team has formed an enhanced technical alliance with Roush Fenway Racing, which ďŹ elded the Ford Mustang that Buescher drove to the XďŹ nity title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to announce this alliance,â&#x20AC;? Roush Fenway President Steve Newmark said in a release announcing Buescherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only will it foster increased communication within the Ford camp, it will allow our newest champion, Chris Buescher, to continue to hone his skills with substantial seat time behind the wheel in the Sprint Cup Series in top-grade equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to working more closely with Front Row on many levels, and we believe it is a relationship that will be mutually beneďŹ cial for both parties.â&#x20AC;?

The driver for the second Front Row car, the No. 38 now driven by David Gilliland, has not been announced.

Brett MofďŹ tt, the 2015 Rookie of the Year in the Sprint Cup Series, entered the season with just one Cup race on his schedule. But he made the most of it, ďŹ nishing eighth in the second race of the season at Atlanta Motor Speedway, driving the No. 55 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing.

That performance, as a temporary replacement for Brian Vickers, led to more starts in the No. 55, and even more in the No. 34 Ford for Front Row Motorsports.

Those rides became available when Vickers was unable to return to the sport because of blood clots and when David Ragan got out of the No. 34 Ford to ďŹ ll in for the injured Kyle Busch.

When it was all over, MofďŹ tt had made 31 Cup starts, six of them in the No. 55 and the rest in the No. 34. The 23-year-old native of Grimes, Iowa, ďŹ nished every race he started, except the second one at Dover, and was 34th in the ďŹ nal points standings despite missing ďŹ ve races.

But he enters the off-season having no concrete plans for 2016. As he pointed out in an interview before he raced at Atlanta, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to work hard every step of the way in his racing career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a very challenging road,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad was able to fund me racing go-karts and ModiďŹ eds.

Lady Bears end 2-game skid

Nkemdiche apologizes for actions

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Associated Press

OXFORD — Mississippi defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche has apologized in a statement released through the school after being charged with possession of marijuana following a 15-foot fall at an Atlanta hotel over the weekend.

Nkemdiche said Tuesday in the statement that he “made a mistake and put myself in an environment that does not reflect who I am as a person.”

Nkemdiche also said he did not use synthetic drugs.

Nkemdiche was hospitalized after the fall and has stitches in his back and leg, according to coach Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze.

The coach has not made a decision about Nkemdiche’s status against Oklahoma State in the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl.

Nkemdiche says he will “accept whatever consequences are necessary, but my hope is to finish this year’s journey with my brothers.”

GLEN — Two weeks removed from their last win, Alcorn Central Head Coach Charlette Foster was worried how her team would answer the bell against Tishomingo County.

“We’d beaten them by 30 earlier, and you’re always worried about how your team will play against them the next time,” said Foster.

Foster was pleased with her injury-riddled club’s performance on both ends of the floor as the Lady Bears (7-4) ended a two-game skid and tallied a season-high in points with a 72-34 win over the Lady Braves (4-8) on Tuesday.

“We played great on offense and defense,” said Foster. “I was proud of their consistency and discipline.”

• In the nightcap, the Braves avenged an earlier five-point loss and gave interim head coach Zach Glover his first win in three tries with a 77-58 decision over the Bears.

Glover is subbing for Josh McCalmon, who was suspended following an ejection in a 56-46 loss to Mooreville last Thursday. The Braves dropped a pair of games to Shannon and West Union in the aftermath.

Tish County (4-8) broke open a 35-28 halftime lead by outscoring Alcorn Central 2513 in the second quarter. Caleb McCalmon, the brother of

the suspended coach, tallied 11 in the third and was one of four Braves to score in double figures.

Trevor Godwin led Alcorn Central (4-8) with 18 points.

Blake McIntyre followed with 14 and Connor Lewis added 11. Both teams connected on eight 3-pointers, including McIntyre’s long one ahead of the first-half horn.

Alcorn Central returns to action Thursday in the Jumpertown Tournament, facing Smithville in both games. The girls tip at 4, while the boys -- facing former standout and coach Nick Coln -- are set for a 5:30 start.

Blue Mountain and Jumpertown round out the fourteam field. Tournament play

concludes with consolation and championship action on Friday.

• The Lady Bears broke open the game in the second, outscoring the visitors 23-5 to take a 38-10 lead at recess.

Central got 12 of it’s 23 second-quarter points from beyond the arc, while seven different players scored over the 8-minute session. Olivia Wilson, making her season debut after battling a leg injury, provided the final extra-point bucket of the half -- Central’s seventh over the first 16 minutes.

Lauren McCreless, who had just seven points in a 50-20 win on Nov. 24, led all scorers Please see BEARS | 13

OXFORD — Mississippi set two goals prior to Southeastern Conference play and accomplished both of them Tuesday night in a 99-80 win over Louisiana Tech.

“We’re trying to get some help for Stefan Moody and we’re trying to get better as a team,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. “I thought we did both of those things tonight.”

Moody scored 29 points and had four assists, and three of his teammates also

scored in double figures. The win was the fifth straight for the Rebels, who improved to 8-2.

Rasheed Brooks added 20 points, hitting 8 of 10 from the field, including four 3-pointers. Marcanvis Hymon and Tomasz Gielo added 14 and 13 points, respectively, and the Rebels led 52-40 at halftime.

“I had a little slump and I was kind of down on myself, but I went back to the gym and put up a lot more shots,” Brooks said. “Just started playing with confidence. AK

(Kennedy) told me to trust it. Trust my shot. Trust the work.”

Ole Miss shot 37 of 65 (57 percent) from the field, including 12 of 26 (46 percent) from 3-point range, and led by as many as 27 points.

Louisiana Tech (8-2) never got closer than 11 points in the second half.

“When you make shots, that makes everything else you do look good,” Kennedy said. “It was nice to see players other than No. 42 (Moody) make shots.”

Erik McCree led Louisiana Tech (8-2) with 20 points and seven rebounds. Alex Hamilton had 16 points, seven assists and five rebounds. Jacobi Boykins scored 13 and Derric Jean added 12.

Leading 28-27, Ole Miss used runs of 12-2 and 7-0 in the final eight minutes of the first half to build what became an insurmountable lead. The Rebels outscored Louisiana Tech 24-13 during that stretch, highlighted by Please see REBELS | 13

Wolfpack preparing for Mississippi St. JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Jacoby Brissett’s college career will end the same way it began — against a Southeastern Conference team.

The former Florida quarterback who transferred to North Carolina State will play his final college game next week when the Wolfpack (75) square off against Missis-

sippi State (8-4) in the Belk Bowl.

He said Tuesday that beating the Bulldogs would be “a way to send the seniors out and a way to springboard into next season’s team and the summer.”

Brissett’s debut with the Gators came in a loss to LSU in 2011. He went 2-3 against SEC teams before transferring to N.C. State after the

2012 season.

In two seasons as the Wolfpack’s starter, he led them to 15 wins and consecutive bowl berths while throwing for 5,054 yards with 42 touchdowns to just nine interceptions.

His last chance to beat an SEC opponent also marks a final opportunity for N.C. State to earn a quality non-Atlantic Coast Conference victory.

The Wolfpack were criticized for a nonconference schedule that included one FCS opponent (Eastern Kentucky), two more that recently at that level (Old Dominion, South Alabama) and a Troy team that went 4-8.

“At the end of the day, the SEC is the SEC,” defensive end Mike Rose said. “They’re Please see MSU | 13

After $184 million deal, Heyward wants to make history The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Jason Heyward knows Theo Epstein ended a long championship drought in Boston and understands how epic it would be to bring a title to Chicago’s North Side.

“It’d be a beautiful thing to win a World Series,” Heyward said Tuesday after finalizing a $184 million, eight-year contract with the Cubs, the largest deal in team history. “To do it in this city, it’s a no-brainer that it

would be making history. You see what Theo’s done with the Red Sox in 2004 and sort of reverse the curse, kind of set the country upside down.”

After adding pitchers John Lackey and Adam Warren along with infielder Ben Zobrist, the Cubs introduced Heyward at Spiaggia Restaurant, a favorite of President Barack Obama and the same place where they held a news conference for Jon Lester exactly one year earlier after

signing the pitcher to a $155 million deal. Chicago still seeks its first Series title since 1908.

“We saw it as a real unique opportunity,” said Epstein, who left Boston in October 2011 to become the Cubs’ president of baseball operations. “We feel like Jason is a real impact player because of how talented he is in all the different phases of the game.”

Heyward has the right to opt out of the deal after three sea-

sons and become a free agent again at age 29, having earned $78 million under the deal with the Cubs. He also has a conditional opt out after the 2019 season, if he has 550 plate appearances that year.

He receives a $20 million signing bonus, payable in four $5 million installments each April 1 from 2024-27. He gets salaries of $15 million in 2016, $21.5 million in each of the next two years, $20 million in 2019,

$21 million apiece in 2020 and 2021 and $22 million in each of the final two seasons.

Heyward has a full no-trade provision through 2018, then during 2019 and 2020 has 12 teams he cannot be dealt to without his consent. If he remains with the Cubs, after the 2020 season he would have the right to block any trade because of he would be a 10-year veteran Please see HEYWARD | 13

considered the premier conference, so a win against one of their better teams would be good for us.”

Things do get tougher in the coming years for N.C. State — which hasn’t played a regularseason game against a team from one of the four other major conferences since the 2012 opener against Tennessee. The Wolfpack draw Notre Dame next year as part of the Fighting Irish’s rotation through the ACC, and play a neutralsite game against South Carolina in 2017 in Charlotte.

“I think a lot of people wanted to see us play a Power Five team in those first four (games),” coach Dave Doeren said.

“I haven’t thought about the difficulty of it. I look at it as a challenge.”

Beating Mississippi State would give the Wolfpack eight wins for a second straight season under Doeren.

“Winning’s important, period. I think as a coach, why do you coach, you coach to be victorious.

You don’t coach to lose,” Doeren said, adding that “this game won’t define us one way or the other. ... (Winning “will give us a better taste in our mouth going forward.”

To do that, Doeren and the Wolfpack will have to figure out how to deal with two Mississippi State hallmarks — quarterback Dak Prescott and those notoriously noisy cowbells that Bulldogs fans always clang.

Prescott, like Brissett, doesn’t throw many interceptions — only four this season — with 3,413 yards passing and 25 touchdowns this season.

“Prescott makes a lot of throws with people around him, (and) he’s good with pressure in his face,” Doeren said. “He can move to his right and his left and he’s got a couple of receivers who are all-SEC players. ...

We definitely are playing an offense capable of scoring a lot of points.”

As for those cowbells, Doeren said “I am not even going to notice” because his focus will be on the voices in his headset.

“I hope it’s loud for both teams,” he added.

Kane’s point streak ends at 26 CHICAGO — Semyon Varlamov stopped 29 shots for his first shutout of the season, leading the Colorado Avalanche to a 3-0 victory over Chicago on Tuesday night and snapping Blackhawks star Patrick Kane’s points streak at 26 games.

Matt Duchene had a goal and an assist for the Avalanche, who won their third straight to cap a perfect four-day road trip to Nashville, St. Louis and Chicago. Zach Redmond scored in the second period and Gabriel Landeskog added an empty-netter with 1:57 left.

Varlamov was sharp when needed in earning his 19th career shutout

and third against Chicago.

But for most of the game, Colorado limited Chicago’s chances — and Kane.

Kane’s franchise-record streak was the longest since Mats Sundin’s 30game stretch in 1992-93.

The Chicago right wing had 16 goals and 24 assists during the run, and has points in all but three of the Blackhawks’ 32 games.

Chicago’s Corey Crawford, who entered with back-to-back shutouts, had 24 saves.

Varlamov was sharp in his two previous games, allowing just three goals on 79 shots in Nashville and St. Louis.

He improved to 11-3-0 against the Blackhawks,

including a 54-save shutout in Chicago last January.

Defenseman Rob Scuderi made his debut with the Blackhawks after being acquired on Monday from Pittsburgh for defenseman Trevor Daley.

The 36-year-old Scuderi was paired with Michal Rozsival.

Despite their schedule, the Avalanche came out with energy in the first and outskated the Blackhawks to take a lead that Varlamov helped preserve.

Duchene opened the scoring with 5:30 left in the first period, the first goal allowed by Crawford’s in more than 155 minutes.

Soler for a center fielder.

An All-Star in 2010, Heyward hit .293 with 13 homers and 60 RBIs last season. He helped St. Louis win the NL Central after spending his first five big league seasons with Atlanta.

The Cubs are counting on him to help strengthen a batting order that includes young sluggers Anthony Rizzo, NL Rookie of

the Year Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber along with Addison Russell.

Heyward had more lucrative offers. But the Cubs’ youth and the presence of manager Joe Maddon were two big reasons why he left St. Louis for Chicago even though he does not expect the Cardinals to fade from contention anytime soon.

“I felt like if I were to

look up in three years and see a completely different team, that would kind of be different for me,” Heyward said. “Chicago really offers an opportunity to come and really be introduced to the culture by a young group of guys, grow up with them and watch them grow up and still watch myself grow up and have some fun with familiar faces for a long time.”

The Associated Press

HEYWARD CONTINUED FROM 12

who has spent five seasons with his current team.

Chicago won 97 games last season, then beat NL Central rivals Pittsburgh in the wild-card game and St. Louis in the NL Division Series. Heyward said he didn’t watch the Cubs’ celebration but did get a glimpse at the playoff atmosphere at Wrigley

Field. The Cubs then were swept by the New York Mets in the NL Championship Series.

As busy as they have been since then, the Cubs still have flexibility because they did not part with any of their top prospects.

“That does allow us — whether it’s this winter or trade deadline or next offseason — to be I think

a threat to make significant trades that can help the ballclub going forward,” Epstein said. “It doesn’t necessarily have to happen the next couple of months. We feel great about the team as it is constituted now.”

The Cubs plan to use Heyward in center field, with some time in right.

Corner time is more likely if the Cubs trade Jorge

Ornamental grasses give four seasons of interest Ornamental grasses are reliable warm-season performers that keep on giving, even in winter landscapes.

Their color and interesting texture make Gary them great Bachman choices for any garSouthern den.

Gardening A couple of good ornamental grasses that I like are Gulf muhly grass and pampas grass.

Gulf muhly grass is a native plant that really performs in the winter. It flowers in billowy masses that resemble pink clouds in the landscape. The color will hold as long as there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a hard freeze.

Even after freezing temperatures, the flower heads keep their airy shape.

Pampas grass can command attention in the landscape. This perennial grass has wiry, serrated leaves and is definitely not shy. Flower heads normally shoot up to 10 feet tall, and the arching foliage is a variable green color. The flower heads are extremely dense, and the stalks are held in tight groupings that persist

through the winter for landscape interest.

If you have a smaller area, then plant the dwarf Pumila selection. The dwarf description is relative, as this plant grows to 6 feet tall.

Gardeners interested in something with a little more pizazz should consider Pennisetum, which offers many different varieties. Rubrum has upright, arching, burgundytinted foliage that has the classic, true fountain grass habit. This plant produces waves of gracefully nodding, soft-purple plumes during the summer.

Fireworks has pink and white variegation. It has a strong upright, arching habit that prefers full sun and will provide strong fall interest. Sky Rocket has beautifully variegated green leaves with whitestriped margins that form beautiful, arching clumps.

Pennisetum must be treated as an annual everywhere except right along the coast. These grasses grow up to 3 feet tall and exhibit a wispy, flowing grace of color and texture.

Home gardeners are showing more interest in planting ornamental grasses in their spring

Pennisetum, such as this Fireworks variety, is an ornamental grass with a lot of pizazz.

It is an annual everywhere except right along the coast.

and summer landscapes because of the variety of colors and textures they add to gardens and landscapes.

But looking out at the landscape this time of year often leads to the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do I care for these plants in the winter?â&#x20AC;?

The dried leaves, stalks and seed heads provide visual winter interest for us and winter structure and habitat for birds and other wildlife. A common question I get during the late fall and early winter is when to cut ornamental grass back. I always tell people to just leave it alone for now. There will come a day in later winter when you just need to get out of the house and do something in the yard.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the day to cut the grasses back.

Cut them down to about 6 inches from the ground to remove last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foliage and make room for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new growth.

Now is also a good time

Gulf muhly grass flowers in billowy pink masses that hold as long as there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a hard freeze. Even after a freeze, the flower heads keep their airy shape. to divide the plants, as most ornamental grasses spread by clumping. Use a sharp shovel or spade and dig the entire clump.

Chop it into three or four pieces; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to be dainty. Replant the

new pieces, and give some away to neighbors.

I like ornamental grasses in the landscape because they provide four seasons of garden interest. You should like them, too, for the same reason.

Recipe by J.M. HIRSCH/Associated Press

Start to finish: 2 hours (45 minutes active) Servings: 8 8 ounces bacon, diced 2 medium yellow onions, diced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 2 cloves garlic, minced 1⁄2 cup panko breadcrumbs 2- to 21⁄2-pound pork loin Kosher salt and ground black pepper 2 tablespoons coarse ground mustard 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 large shallots, finely chopped 1 cup fresh cranberries 11⁄2 cups dry white wine 11⁄2 tablespoons sugar 6 tablespoons unsalted butter

Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes (30 minutes active) Servings: 6 4 medium beets (preferably multiple colors) 2 cups grapefruit and orange segments 2 tablespoons brown sugar 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard Kosher salt and ground black pepper 5 ounces baby kale or arugula 1⁄2 cup toasted chopped pecans 1⁄4 cup toasted flake coconut (preferably unsweetened) Heat the oven to 350 F. Wrap each beet in foil and set on a rimmed baking sheet.

Roast for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a paring knife. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.

While the beets cool, increase the oven to broil.

Arrange the citrus segments in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, then sprinkle with the brown sugar. Broil for 3 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.

In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the greens in the dressing, then arrange on a serving platter.

Carefully peel the roasted beets, then slice into small wedges. Arrange the roasted beets and the broiled citrus wedges over the greens. Sprinkle with the pecans and toasted coconut.

In a small bowl, mix together the oil, garlic, lemon juice and a hefty pinch each of salt and pepper. Spread the seasoned oil over the ¿sh, then arrange the lemon slices over it. Bake until cooked through, but the Àesh is still a little translucent, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, set the prunes in a medium bowl.

Pour 1»2 cup of boiling water over them and set aside to soften for several minutes.

In a second medium bowl, mix together the olives, capers, parsley, dill, lemon juice and zest, and the olive oil. Drain the prunes, then add those. Mix well, then season with salt and pepper. As soon as the salmon comes out of the oven, carefully transfer it to a serving platter and spoon the prune mixture over it.

Heat the oven to 350 F. Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with foil, then mist with cooking spray.

In a large skillet over medium-high, cook the bacon until mostly crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the onions, sage, rosemary and garlic, then cook until the onion is tender and starting to brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the breadcrumbs and set aside.

Place the pork loin on a cutting board so a long side is facing you. Starting at one short end of the loin, carefully cut it through the center horizontally, splitting the loin nearly in half. Cut only to within about 1 inch of the other short end. Open the sliced loin like a book, then lay it Àat on the cutting surface. Repeat the cutting motion across the center, again slicing from one short side to the other, and again leaving about 1 inch intact. Open the loin again like a book and lay Àat.

Fit several sheets of plastic wrap over the Àattened pork on the cutting board. Using a meat mallet, pound the pork until it is about 1»2 inch thick.

Remove the plastic wrap and season with salt and black pepper.

Spread the mustard evenly over the pork, then sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over it. Starting with a short side, roll up the pork like a jelly roll.

Using kitchen twine or skewers, secure the roll then transfer to the prepared pan. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the center reaches 145 F. While the pork roasts, make the sauce. In a medium skillet over medium, heat the oil. Add the shallots and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until tender and starting to brown. Add the cranberries and continue to cook until they begin to break down and become saucy. Stir in the wine and sugar, then cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Lower the heat and stir in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking to combine as it melts before adding the next tablespoon.

Slice the pork roast and serve with the sauce.

12/16/15

Husband wants his wife’s niece to behave Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My wife’s niece has a 3-year-old child whom we love dearly. We help take care of this child and pay for a great deal of the baby’s care.

The problem is, my wife frequently offers advice to her niece. The niece cusses her out, and my wife ends up in tears. But my wife insists she has to keep doing this in order to help the baby.

I disagree with her logic. I told her she is simply repeating the same pattern over and over, setting herself up for misery. This niece is not a nice person. She treats her own mother (my wife’s sister) poorly.

Her crying is disturbing to me. My wife is a social worker and says that she helps strangers, so why can’t she help her own family? — Stop Already Dear Stop: She can’t help her own family because she is not objective enough. She also believes her background will somehow give her more authority over her niece, when it obviously does not. Unless your wife enjoys being a martyr (and she may), she should back off from giving advice and simply transfer her professional skills toward the care of the baby, who will benefit from being loved by

someone who obviously has a great deal to give.

Dear Annie: I keep reading letters from women who are concerned that their husbands of many years look at porn, go to strip clubs or have affairs. That sounds awful. But guess what can happen after 25 years of marriage? Husbands look forward to the last 25 years of their lives with their loving wives, and all of a sudden, the wives act as though they don’t like their husbands anymore. All affection stops and some wives even announce that there will be no more sex ever.

We men wonder what is going on and then realize that this is menopause.

So now, the last 25 years are not going to be nearly as good as we had anticipated.

More than half of my male friends got divorced when their wives were in their late 50s, and sometimes the wife initiated the divorce. I have not had sex with my wife in years. Please don’t advise counseling or hormones.

The women don’t believe anything is wrong, and they are justifiably reluc-

tant to take drugs that have serious side effects.

So, ladies, decide which is better: Men viewing porn and masturbating (which the medical community agrees is healthy for men who aren’t having sex with their partners) or getting a divorce because the husbands are starved for affection and sex. There are two sides to every story. — S. Dear S.: You have made a valid point that a lot of women will not like. But women who have lost their libido often don’t understand why their husbands aren’t equally uninterested, and sometimes, they don’t care enough to make any effort to maintain this part of their relationship. This risks the marriage. Most men need the affection and comfort that intimacy provides and are not only bewildered by this turn of events, but also hurt and sometimes resentful. Those who turn to masturbation via porn are excoriated.

This should not be a zero-sum game. Both husbands and wives need to be educated about these changes and understand how to best handle them within their own marriages.
