Man sentenced for insurance fraud An Alcorn County man has been sentenced for insurance fraud and wire fraud, announced Attorney General Jim Hood. Joshua James Marlar, 35, appeared in Alcorn County Circuit Court before Judge

Paul S. Funderburk this week for his sentencing after pleading guilty in April 2014 to one count each of insurance fraud and wire fraud. Sentencing was deferred to allow the defendant time to collect some of the restitution money.

The Attorney General’s investigation revealed that between April and October 2011, the defendant while serving as an insurance agent for Colonial Life Insurance and AFLAC Insurance Company, was paid approximately $206,000 in

Local automotive class high schoolers are now in the driver’s seat ... of a Corolla. The Alcorn Career and Technical Center was one of seven recipients of a 2014 Toyota Corolla donated by the Blue Springs Toyota Mississippi plant. “The new car is providing a great opportunity for the students,” said instructor Lee Busby. “It will help these young people learn more about Toyota products and pretty much all newly produced cars.”

Students from Alcorn Central High School, Biggersville High School, Corinth High School and Kossuth High School will have the opportunity to tear apart and rebuild the car while learning about the latest vehicle technology. Center director Rodney Hopper said he hopes the addition will help better prepare his vocational school students ahead of possible careers in the automotive industry. “The Corolla donated by Toyota Mississippi will allow our students to train on some of the latest technology in au-

tomotive services and manufacturing,” Hopper said. The Corollas the company donated are called trial vehicles, which are built to teach team members the automotive manufacturing process, according to Toyota. “It will definitely benefit the students down the road,” added Busby. “It might even help some of them get a job with Toyota one day.” When the class first received their Corolla, it was disabled. “We actually fixed the prob-

Joyous laughter filled Taylor’s Escape on Wednesday as members and officers of the Corinth Civitan Club gathered at lunchtime to carry on a heart-warming tradition. “Each year around Christmastime, we are given a list of local children by their teachers and organize a special day for them filled with shopping, food and presents from Santa,” said Tina Bugg who serves as the chairman of the club’s children’s committee.

The Mississippi Court of Appeals reversed an aggravated domestic assault conviction out of Alcorn County. The court, in a decision handed down Tuesday, is sending the case of James L. Johnson Jr., 55, back to Alcorn County Circuit Court for new proceedings, according to court records. Johnson has been in custody of the Missis- Johnson sippi Department of Corrections since April 2014. After Johnson was found guilty in a jury trial, Judge Jim Please see JOHNSON | 2A

The spirit of giving this holiday season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area. Donations are beginning to pour in for the 20th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund. A $25,000 fundraising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 5. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached. So far, $4,705 has been raised. Recent donations include a $200 anonymous gift in memory of Alex Howard and Gerald Smith; $100 from Dr. Tommy Alexander in memory of Mrs. Mabel Little and Mr. and Mrs. Irl Alexander; $200 from Covenant Presbyterian Church; $50 from Mrs. Garvin Wood in memory of Garvin “Bud” Wood and Rodney Wood; $100 from Mason St. Luke Baptist Church; $40 from Elbert and Connie Holland in memory of John Albright and Randy Holland; $75 from Arnold Pittman and family in memory of Ruth Pittman; and $105 from the Four Seasons Garden Club. Contributions to the Christmas Basket Fund can be made “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person or persons. The tribute will be published daily in the Daily Corinthian.

A couple of property owners are responding to the city’s push for cleanup in an area of South Corinth. The Board of Aldermen on Tuesday gave a continuance to Feb. 2 for the Grayson property at White Street and Scales Street and until Jan. 19 for nearby property at 415 Martin Luther King. An old property that has been used as a garage by Grayson Funeral Home is the city’s main concern. City officials say it has been a source of many complaints from the neighborhood. Building Inspector Greg Tyson was prepared to recommend adjudication to move toward demolishing the structure. “I don’t think there’s going to be any way to salvage that building,” he said. “You’re going to have to spend a pretty Please see CLEANUP | 5A

year,” said Santa as he scooped a small boy into his arms. “Do you remember how you thought you saw me through the window eating cookies?” If the nod of his head was any indication, the boy did indeed remember. In addition to sharing their Christmas lists with Santa, each child was given their own individual gift as well as a red-striped candy cane. “Our Kid’s Christmas Surprise which is our main project was started by the late Jimmy Orr in 1987 and has since been carried on by members of our club and the ladies of the Bell South Pioneers. It began with only three children and has grown into a chance to help 12 to 15 local students every year since. This year we have 11 children,” said a grateful Bugg. “They are the reason I and so many others joined the Civitan Club many years ago.” “You do it initially in order to be a blessing to them and end up getting blessed yourself,” she added. Following a lunch of chicken strips, salad, French fries, cole slaw and rolls, the children were taken to Belk to shop for clothes and Joe’s

Shoe Store for a new pair of shoes. A member of the club for six years, Corinth Civitan President Trish Parks expressed her appreciation for all those who make the annual event a possibility. “We have a long standing partnership with Belk and are very grateful to both them and Jerry Latch of Joe’s Shoe Store for everything they’ve done to help us help these children,” she said. “I would also like to say thank you to Taylor’s Escape for the wonderful meal they provided us with.” “For the first year in a long time, we were also able to have one of our club members, Eddie Joe Davis serve as our Santa and are thankful he was willing to fill that role for us,” she added. “Those who would like to join us are welcome to attend our weekly meeting at Taylor’s Escape. We would love to have you.” Hearing from community business and government leaders who provide informative and entertaining programs on issues that effect members and their families, the Corinth Civitan Club meets at Wednesday with the exception of the fifth Wednesday of the month. Their other activities include, but

are not limited to their annual steak sale on Mother’s day weekend, carnival and Claxton fruit cakes sales for Christmas. “We also help with Autism Day, give a $750 scholarship to a student from each school and set up a roadblock to raise money once or twice a year,” said Corinth Civitan Club Member Laura Holloway. Many will recognize the Civitan Club by their royal blue and gold vests as they help out at the Crossroads Arena. “We volunteer for all events at the arena,” said Holloway. “Rather than compensating us, the arena generously donates to our club’s fund.” Paying it forward, the club donates money to the Civitan Research Center in Birmingham, Ala. which provides research and findings on autism, Alzheimer’s and other medical ailments. “We are all about our community,” said Holloway. “What we take in goes back out.” (For more information and how to contribute the Corinth Civitan Club, contact Trish Parks at 662-287-0133 or stop by Corinth Jewelers.)

In the vo-tech’s garage, Busby’s students normally only work on older vehicles. After receiving the new Corolla in November, the instructor said his students has already been tested on the new car. “I created a problem on the car and the students had to find and fix the problem. They used process of elimination and all my classes were able to pin point the problem fairly quickly,” Busby added. For Alcorn Central student Lucus Turner, the Corolla is unlike anything he has ever worked on. “It’s the most advanced

In his appeal, Johnson raised issues of whether the circuit court erred by admitting evidence of prior bad acts; whether the circuit court erred by not allowing the defendant to make a sufficient proffer of the testimony he sought to elicit from Jones; and whether the state’s description of him during closing arguments amounted to prosecutorial misconduct. During its case, the state introduced police reports related to incidents involving four

Toyota Mississippi made a similar donation in 2013 when they gave away 29 vehicles to area schools.

different women during a span of 13 years. Complaints in 1999 and 2000 both led to simple assault convictions. A third alleged incident in 2002 was never prosecuted, and a fourth in 2012 was dismissed after Johnson completed an anger management course. The police reports contained allegations that Johnson engaged in other criminal conduct beyond the alleged assaults. The Court of Appeals ruled that the lower court erred by admitting into evidence the entire contents of the four reports with references to additional criminal offenses without determining if their probative value outweighed the prejudice to Johnson. The court did not address the other issues Johnson raised.

Thursday, December 17, 2015

Today is Thursday, Dec. 17, the 351st day of 2015. There are 14 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 17, 1865, Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, known as the “Unfinished” because only two movements had been completed, was first performed publicly in Vienna, 37 years after the composer’s death.

On this date: In 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, conducted the first successful manned powered-airplane flights near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, using their experimental craft, the Wright Flyer. In 1925, Col. William “Billy” Mitchell was convicted at his courtmartial in Washington of insubordination for accusing senior military officials of incompetence and criminal negligence; he was suspended from active duty. In 1957, the United States successfully testfired the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time. In 1969, the U.S. Air Force closed its Project “Blue Book” by concluding there was no evidence of extraterrestrial spaceships behind thousands of UFO sightings. An estimated 50 million TV viewers watched singer Tiny Tim marry his fiancee, Miss Vicky (Budinger), on NBC’s “Tonight Show.” In 1975, Lynette Fromme was sentenced in Sacramento, California, to life in prison for her attempt on the life of President Gerald R. Ford. (Fromme was paroled in August 2009.) In 1994, North Korea shot down a U.S. Army helicopter which had strayed north of the demilitarized zone. The co-pilot, Chief Warrant Officer David Hilemon, was killed; the pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Bobby Hall, was captured and held for nearly two weeks. In 2011, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il died after more than a decade of iron rule.

One year ago: The United States and Cuba restored diplomatic relations, sweeping away one of the last vestiges of the Cold War. Sony Pictures canceled the Dec. 25 release of “The Interview,” a black comedy about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after hackers threatened terrorist attacks and the largest multiplex chains in North America pulled the film.

Across the Region Booneville leaders OK tax abatement BOONEVILLE — Booneville aldermen have approved a seven-year freeze on the amount of city taxes to be paid by Taco Bell. Mayor Derrick Blythe said the restaurant, which opened last week on Second Street to huge crowds, qualifies for the seven year tax abatement under the new business incentive plan passed earlier this year by the board and is the first business to take advantage of the plan. Taco Bell will employee 32 people and the owner, Little Foods Inc. of Corinth, has made a $435,000 investment in the new restaurant. Under the tax incentive program businesses bringing new jobs and investment to the city can qualify for a three, five or seven year freeze on their city taxes depending on the number of jobs and the size of the investment. The abatement applies only to city taxes and would be voided if the business decreased its workforce or closed during that period.

Tish students give to animal shelter TISHOMINGO — Collecting for the shelter. Beta Club members at Tishomingo County High School are asking for donations to help the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter in Alcorn County. When club members heard the shelter were in desperate need of supplies, they wanted to help. Members who donate will receive community service hours for each item donated. They will receive one hour for each blanket donated, 45 minutes for each set of sheets donated, 30 minutes for towels donated and 15 minutes for washcloths donated. Each student may receive up to six hours of community service time from the shelter donations.

Rehearing of murder case denied PONTOTOC — The Mississippi Court of Appeals has denied a request to rehear the appeal of a man serving life in a Pontotoc County murder. Eric Brown, 43, pleaded guilty to murder in the strangulation death of Shorelanda Moore, 20, in 1999. He also entered a guilty plea to manslaughter in the death of Moore’s unborn child and was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison. Moore’s body was found in Memphis. Brown admitted to

strangling her during a hearing when he entered the guilty pleas. He filed a motion for post-conviction relief over where he was denied due process because he was not granted a competency hearing. The Mississippi Court of Appeals denied his appeal in August saying he was ordered to undergo a psychiatric examination before trial and had been found competent to stand trial.

Man will face drug charges after arrest SHANNON — A Verona man is now facing felony drug charges after police executed an arrest warrant. Shannon police arrested Greg D. Watkins, 37, of Verona, for possessing a felony amount of crack cocaine. According to the department, police were serving Watkins an arrest warrant for two minor traffic violations when they found the cocaine on him. He’s officially charged with possession of a controlled substance. The case has been turned over the North Mississippi Narcotics Unit.

Thoroughfare panel releases project list TUPELO — Tupelo’s Major Thoroughfare Committee has released its list of proposed projects for Phase 6 of the roads program. The most expensive of the $17.3 million list is $4.9 million to widen West Jackson Street Extended from Air Park Road to Coley Road. The group also would like to spend $4 million on widening North Gloster Street from Barnes Crossing Road to the Natchez Trace Parkway. Other projects on the list released Monday include widening Eason Boulevard from Veterans Boulevard to Briar Ridge Road ($3.5 million), improving intersections along North Gloster Street, including North Green Street and Commonwealth Boulevard ($2.6 million), widening and making

other improvements along Barnes Crossing Road from North Gloster Street to Cross Creek Drive ($1.8 million), improving the Highway 45/ Eason Boulevard intersection ($250,000), and improving signal timing on major roadways with North Gloster Street and Main Street being priorities ($150,000$300,000).

Police search for robbery suspect OXFORD — Police say someone was robbed at the ATM at a Regions Bank in Oxford Tuesday night. The holdup happened around 6:15 p.m. at the branch on Jackson Avenue West. According to the victim and a witness, the male robber was wearing a red bandana over his face. They say he approached them, pulled a gun and demanded money. The victim got money out of the ATM and handed it over to the robber. Police add they believe the robber actually tried to hold up someone else before being successful with this robbery.

Oxford collects most sales tax OXFORD — For the second straight month, Oxford topped Columbus — $810,686 to $801,112 — in sales tax revenues, moving it into second place behind Tupelo. Oxford held second place for the second straight month despite another record period for Columbus, which has had its highest month since 1989 for the third consecutive month. Both towns are on record revenue paces for the year with monthly increases reaching well above 5 percent. Their growth led the best month the region has seen in eight years.

Mississippi State dean leaves school STARKVILLE — The Dean of the Mississippi State College of Arts and Sciences is leaving the school. Gregory Dunaway, an award-winning educator and sociologist, has been named permanent dean of West Virginia University’s Eberly College of Arts and Sciences. The appointment takes place March 31. WVU Provost Joyce McConnell says Dunaway has the rare and valuable combination of extensive experience and a strong vision. She says he is exactly what is needed to guide a large and complex academic unit like our Eberly College.

Hancock won’t file earnings on time BALDWYN — Hancock Fabrics, the Baldwynbased fabrics and craft retailer, said in an SEC filing Tuesday that it would not be able to file its third-quarter earnings report on time. The Securities & Exchange Commission’s deadline for companies whose quarter ends on Oct. 31 – like Hancock – is today. Hancock said it wasn’t able to file on time because it “has limited resources (including not having a permanent chief financial officer) and requires additional time to prepare and review its financial statements.” It said the delay couldn’t be avoided without “unreasonable effort or expense.” However, Hancock

said in its SEC filing that it does expect to file on or before the extended deadline of Dec. 21, which is Monday. In its filing, Hancock did provide a preliminary earnings report. The company expects sales for the third quarter of 2015 to be $70.9 million compared to $72 million for the third quarter of 2014. It also anticipates a net loss of $3.6 million, or 17 cents per share, for the quarter. That’s an increase from a loss of $800,000, or 4 cents a share, a year ago. Hancock blames the results on weaker sales and higher promotional activity in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. The results include online sales, a bright spot for the company. Hancock said online sales rose 15.8 percent to $2 million, compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of last year. The company said it expects gross profit percentage to be 39.4 percent for the quarter, a decline from 41.6 percent last year. The registrant expects net loss to be $3.6 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2015 compared to net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2014. Hancock Fabrics was founded in Tupelo in 1957. It filed for bankruptcy protection in 2007 and emerged a year later, but since then it has posted an annual profit only once, for fiscal year 2009. Meanwhile, the search continues for a permanent CFO for the company. In August, Hancock Fabrics announced that James B. Brown, its executive vice president and chief financial officer since March 2012, had resigned to accept an executive position with an unnamed retailer in the midwest. His resignation was effective Sept. 15.

JESUS AND SINNERS From beginning to end, the Bible discusses the fact that men and women are sinners. You likely are familiar with verses like Romans 3:23 that affirms, “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Even to those who were already Christians, the Apostle John said, “If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (I John 1:10) Sin is universal, but thank God, the story does not end there. Just as surely as the Bible speaks of sin, it speaks of a Savior. It is worthy of note that when the angel of the Lord came to Joseph to announce that Mary, the virgin to whom he was espoused, was to conceive, and bear a son, he affirmed, “thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21) The coming of Jesus into the world was a matter that had been foretold centuries before it became a reality. (Matthew 1:22) The purpose is set forth at the very beginning of the gospel story. Jesus came to provide a remedy for man’s greatest problem: sin. That purpose is also affirmed in the teaching of Jesus. The Pharisees questioned the disciples of Jesus about why he ate with publicans, (tax collectors) and sinners. Jesus said, “They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick... for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Matthew 9:11-13) At the home of Zacchaeus, he against spoke clearly of His mission: “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10) Earlier, the Pharisees and scribes said about Jesus, “This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.” It is then that Jesus talked about a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son, to illustrate the great care and concern God has for the lost, and the rejoicing that occurs when “one sinner repents”. (Luke 15) The purpose of Jesus, and his love for us as sinners, is, perhaps, most vividly portrayed in his sacrifice at Calvary. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) Dear friend, Jesus loves you, and died to save you and me. You are not alone and without hope. Jesus came to save. We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

Corinth, Miss.

Attacking the truth Among the many sad signs of our time are the current political and media attacks on Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, for speaking the plain truth on a subject where lies have been the norm for years. The case before the High Court is whether the use of race as a basis for admitting students to the University of Texas at Austin is a violation of the 14th Amendment’s requirement for government institutions to provide “equal protection of the Thomas laws” to all. Affirmative action is supSowell posed to be a benefit to black Columnist and other minority students admitted with lower academic qualifications than some white students who are rejected. But Justice Scalia questioned whether being admitted to an institution geared to students with higher-powered academic records was a real benefit. Despite much media spin, the issue is not whether blacks in general should be admitted to higher ranked or lower ranked institutions. The issue is whether a given black student, with given academic qualifications, should be admitted to a college or university where he would not be admitted if he were white. I became painfully aware of this problem more than 40 years ago, when I was teaching at Cornell University, and discovered that half the black students there were on some form of academic probation. Why were they in trouble at Cornell, then? Because the average Cornell student in the liberal arts college at that time scored at the 99th percentile. The classes taught there — including mine — moved at a speed geared to the verbal and mathematical level of the top one percent of American students. The average white student would have been wiped out at Cornell. But the average white student was unlikely to be admitted to Cornell, in the first place. Nor was a white student who scored at the 75th percentile. That was a “favor” reserved for black students. This “favor” turned black students who would have been successful at most American colleges and universities into failures at Cornell. None of this was peculiar to Cornell. Black students who scored at the 90th percentile in math had serious academic problems trying to keep up at M.I.T., where other students scored somewhere within the top 99th percentile. There were other fine engineering schools around the country where those same students could have learned more, when taught at a normal pace, rather than at a breakneck speed geared to students with extremely rare abilities in math. Justice Scalia was not talking about sending black students to substandard colleges and universities to get an inferior education. You may in fact get a much better education at an institution that teaches at a pace that you can handle and master. In later life, no one is going to care how fast you learned something, so long as you know it. Mismatching students with educational institutions is a formula for needless failures. The book “Mismatch,” by Sander and Taylor is a first-rate study of the hard facts. It shows, for example, that the academic performances of black and Hispanic students rose substantially after affirmative action admissions policies were banned in the University of California system. Instead of failing at Berkeley or UCLA, these minority students were now graduating from other campuses in the University of California system. They were graduating at a higher rate, with higher grades, and now more often in challenging fields like math, science and technology. Do the facts not matter to those who are denouncing Justice Scalia? Does the actual fate of minority students not matter to the left, as much as their symbolic presence on a campus?

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to see the beauty of the world, and through my duty may I find the love in the world. May I not spend my life in discontent, but may I remember that thou hast said, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” Fill my heart with compassion, that I may love my fellow man as I love myself. Amen.

A verse to share “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 4:6

Trump sneers; Jeb jeers; America fears Nobody sneers quite like Donald Trump. His fleshy face grows taut. His upper lip bends down sharply at the corners. His eyes descend even deeper into his skull. Jeb Bush saw that sneer at the fifth and final Republican debate of the year Tuesday night. Trump would be welladvised to ignore Bush. No matter what Bush says about Trump, it is like a mosquito biting a rhinoceros. But mosquitoes can be irritating. And Trump can do dumb things. So when Bush found one of Trump’s weak spots, Trump sneered his best sneer in response. “Donald,” Bush said, “you’re not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency. That’s not going to happen.” Trump would have been better off smirking – another facial expression he does quite well – but instead, he snapped. “With Jeb’s attitude, we will never be great again. That I can tell you,” Trump said. OK, so Bush left a little bump on Trump’s skin. And when I called Trump a rhinoceros a few moments ago, I was wrong in one respect: Rhinoceroses have very thick skins. And Trump’s skin is as thin as a daffodil’s. Trump couldn’t seem to get over that moment or get

back on his game plan of merely acting superior to everyone else onstage. T r u m p Roger called a halt Simon to the entire debate, in Columnist fact, by complaining that CNN was being unfair to him by inviting the other candidates, especially Bush, to attack him. “I think it’s very sad that CNN leads Jeb Bush, Gov. Bush, down a road by starting off virtually all of the questions, ‘Mr. Trump this.’ I think it’s very sad,” Trump said semi-coherently. Bush, who often seems to sleepwalk through these debates, perked up at hearing his name mentioned and stumbled upon the perfect response. He sneered at Trump. And nobody – but nobody – sneers at The Donald. “This is a tough business to run for president,” Bush said to Trump with disdain. And if you think Trump can give out disdain but not take it, you would be right. “You’re a tough guy, Jeb. I know,” Trump sneered. “You’re tough.” “You’re never going to be president of the United States by insulting your way to the presidency,” Bush said, refashioning the line he obviously had been re-

hearsing for weeks. “Well, let’s see,” Trump said, his temperature rising. “I’m at 42 (percent in the polls), and you’re at 3. So, so far, I’m doing better.” And with that, Trump washed his hands of Bush. But Bush, who probably had come up against a schoolyard bully or two in his life, stood his ground. And sneered again. “Doesn’t matter,” Bush said. I was waiting for him to say, “Bounces off rubber, sticks to glue.” But Bush missed that one. Which gave Trump the opportunity to win the sneerfest. “So far, I’m doing better,” Trump said and indicated that he stood in the center of the debate stage. “You know, you started off over here, Jeb.” And believe it or not, Jeb was once a front-runner. In late June, Bush led the GOP pack with 22 percent of the vote in an NBC poll. Scott Walker was in second, with 17 percent, and Trump was in 11th place, with 1 percent. But in the Republican Party, shoo-ins can become has-beens pretty quickly. Walker dropped out of the race in late September, and today Bush has just 4 percent of the vote, compared with Trump’s first-place 33 percent in the latest RealClearPolitics poll average. “You’re moving over further and further,” Trump

mocked. “Pretty soon, you’re going to be off the end” of the stage. Which may be true, or maybe Bush picked up a few points by taking on Trump. Whatever the result, the back-and-forth between Bush and Trump was taking the spotlight away from the other candidates, which upset them very much. “All the fighting and arguing is not advancing us,” John Kasich, playing Mr. Goody-Goody, complained. “It will not solve the problem,” Carly Fiorina, playing Ms. Goody-Goody, complained. “It is not the way we’re going to strengthen our country,” Kasich said. “We will strengthen our country when we come together.” The audience members applauded. But you could tell they really preferred a slugfest to a lovefest any day. The debate ground on as the candidates discussed foreign affairs, the Islamic State group and terrorism. “We have people across this country who are scared to death,” Chris Christie said. Which is true – especially among those who are afraid one of these candidates actually could become president.

Being America is hard OXFORD — Hillary Clinton doesn’t have to wait for Christmas to get her gift. Donald Trump has been her Santa. He’s outrageous, so he commands all the ink and air time — so all her skeletons sit safely in the cupboard. That brings us to this: If Trump believes closing the borders to Muslims and, presumably, ejecting followers of Islam who happen to live here, will make us safe, then how can he oppose confiscating firearms, too? Some say Trump is dumb. Others say he is dangerous. Without addressing those matters, one thing is clear: He isn’t big on logic. The argument to ban people because some might engage in violence and the argument to ban firearms because they might be used for violence is the same argument, isn’t it? If one is reasonable and logical, then so is the other. Neither is compatible with the nation’s core values. But before discussing American values, let’s ponder the values of ISIS. It won’t take long. ISIS is a death cult, the manifestation of evil. Its 30,000 followers on this planet of 7.3 billion envision a “cleansed” planet where

any and all who disagree with its absolutist tenets, are eliminated. Its strategy is to wage Charlie a war of attriMitchell tion and terror, no matColumnist ter how long it takes. The cult values fear and intimidation — and nothing else. Now let’s remember what it means to be an American. Being America and being American is hard, and it’s not getting any easier. The reason is because we are a continuing experiment. America, when formed, could have followed a topdown model. There were those who strongly believed that George Washington should be named king; that he should run the nation from a throne. That argument didn’t carry the day. Instead, there was a risky decision: Let people make the rules. There was widespread belief it wouldn’t work, or it wouldn’t work for long. The thinking was that people needed someone to tell them what to do. The thinking was that self-rule would be chaotic, frustrating and inefficient. The thinking

was that opportunists would wrangle too much power unless there was a king who would not allow such abuses (unless, of course, it was the king who was abusive). But doubts notwithstanding, the Constitution was adopted. Freedom became Value No. 1. Efficiency was still desirable, but not at the cost of personal liberties. The values of the nation are rooted and defined in the Declaration of Independence. These are not words we recite in fifth grade. We live by them and must not forget them when times are bad. We believe, quite simply, that man’s natural state is freedom from arbitrary controls and, as a consequence, no form of government is legitimate unless the people consent to its existence. With management of their own lives at center stage, decade after decade of remarkable advances followed. It wasn’t smooth. It wasn’t easy. Several wrong turns. Several bad decisions. But unprecedented freedom spurred people to figure things out — in the sciences, in manufacturing, in commerce, in society. Incremental progress has been made toward that moving target called “a more perfect society.”

People talk about “American Exceptionalism.” It’s real, but it didn’t arise from thin air. It can be traced to the fact that people were left to do pretty much as they pleased. In recent months, horrors have been inflicted in this and other nations by ISIS, which has shown a desire, a willingness and an ability to wreak madness everywhere in the world. We all want it to stop. And it’s not surprising to hear ideas such as bordersealing, carpet-bombing or ejecting all who practice the religion the ISIS adherents falsely claim to practice. The question is whether in facing this very evil we set aside what it means to be America. It has never been easy to be America, to be an open society where the values of individuals matter. Never forget this: As painful as things become — no sane person believes the last of ISIS horrors has been inflicted — we can’t forget who we are. And we can’t forget who they are. We believe in humanity. They don’t. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo.com.)

FBI: 17 indicted in gang offensive Associated Press

JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The FBI says 17 people have been charged in north Mississippi as a part of a major operation targeting suspected gang members called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Operation Bite Back.â&#x20AC;? FBI Special Agent in Charge Don Alway announced the indictments on Tuesday. Officials say the operation focuses on Panola County and is a byproduct of the deep investigation

that has come through the probe into the death of Jessica Chambers, a 19-year-old woman burned alive on Dec. 6, 2014, in Courtland. Just after 8 p.m., Chambers was doused with gasoline and set on fire in her car next to the gate to private land on Herron Road. She got out of the car and was found on the road with burns over most of her body. She died hours later at a hospital in Memphis.

Panola County Sheriff Dennis Darby told The Clarion-Ledger Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrests are not directly related to Chambersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; death, but to information gathered as authorities have interviewed more than 150 people and sorted through more than 20,000 phone records trying to find her killer. FBI spokesman Jason Pack said as the FBI assisted state and local investigators, suspected illegal activity came to light

and resulted in the indictments and arrests Tuesday morning. The indictments in both the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi and Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17th Circuit Court District charge the 17 suspects on a variety of violations ranging from child endangerment, possession of stolen firearms, narcotics sales and felon in possession of a firearm to possession of counterfeit currency.

Group sues county over Nativity display Associated Press

GULFPORT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The American Humanist Association has announced it will file a lawsuit against Harrison County over its refusal to remove a Nativity scene from a courthouse. The Washington-based organization made the announcement Tuesday after it had sent a letter to county officials last week, asking them to remove the display. The Harrison County Board of Supervisors voted Monday to keep

the Nativity scene, which is erected by county employees each year. Executive director American Humanist Association Roy Speckhardt says it was disappointing the board decided to â&#x20AC;&#x153;not recognize the diversity of beliefs and waste the taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money.â&#x20AC;? Board attorney Tim Holleman says he believes the county is complying with the law, adding that the county wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with county employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expression of their religious faith.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The county will not interfere with the county employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expression of their religious faith or with any other faith or non-faith employees who desire to celebrate their holiday in a manner that does not interfere with county business,â&#x20AC;? Holleman said. The Supreme Court, in a pair of decisions in the 1980s, ruled that Nativity scenes may appear on public property, but only if they also contained secular symbols of Christmas, like Santa Claus and

reindeer, or were accompanied by symbols from other religions. Earlier this year, the American Humanist Association prevailed in a lawsuit against Baxter County, Arkansas, over a Nativity scene on the lawn of that countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courthouse. A judge said the display violated the First Amendment; however, in that case, the county had denied a request from residents to include displays from other religions near the Nativity.

Debate topics hit sour notes Toxic algae BY TAMI ABDOLLAH AND VIVIAN SALAMA Associated Press

(EDITORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A look at political claims that take shortcuts with the facts or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the full story.) WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The vast complexities of a dangerous world were cast in too-simple terms in the latest Republican presidential debate. In addition, Chris Christie pledged to make common cause with a Jordanian king whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually dead and debaters twisted aspects of immigration policy beyond recognition. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look at some of the claims Tuesday night and how they compare with the facts: TED CRUZ on people in the U.S. illegally: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never supported legalization, and I do not intend to support legalization.â&#x20AC;? THE FACTS: That flies in the face of the Texas senatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record and past rhetoric. Cruz has indeed been against an explicit path to citizenship for people in the country illegally, but he introduced legislation in 2013 that proposed eventual legal status for millions of them. His legislation proposed stripping out the option of citizenship from a bill overhauling immigration policy. Instead, he told the Senate in June 2013, his bill would set up a process so that â&#x20AC;&#x153;those who are here illegally would be eligible for what is called RPI (Registered Provisional Immigrant) status, a legal status, and, indeed, in time would be eligible for legal permanent residency.â&#x20AC;? Cruz defended that course on multiple occasions in the Senate and in interviews â&#x20AC;&#x201D; usually stressing his objection to extending citizenship but also making clear he envisioned eventual work permits and other means of legal recognition short of citizenship. The overarching effort to overhaul immigration policy that year failed.

One of the principle authors of the initiative was Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, another presidential contender, and Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims emerged in a tussle between the two on the subject. Also notable from Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement in the debate was that he subtly avoided closing the door to supporting legal status in the future. He said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intendâ&#x20AC;? to do that, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. ___ DONALD TRUMP: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our country is out of control. People are pouring through the southern border.â&#x20AC;? THE FACTS: Arrest statistics are widely regarded as the best measure, if an imperfect one, of the flow of people crossing illegally into the U.S. And Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion that illegal immigration is increasing at the border is not supported by arrest statistics discussed in recent months by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. Johnson has said that during the 2015 budget year that ended in September, about 330,000 people were caught crossing the Mexican border illegally, a near 40-year low in border arrests. During the 2014 budget year, roughly 486,000 people were arrested. ___ JEB BUSH: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to embed our forces, our troops, inside the Iraqi military.â&#x20AC;? THE FACTS: The U.S. is already doing that. U.S. special forces are working side by side with Iraqi forces in the fight against Islamic State militants and American military advisers and trainers are working with Iraqi troops in various locations. To be sure, Bush has called for an intensification of the military effort in a variety of ways, but debate viewers would not know from his comment that U.S. troops are already operating with Iraqi and Kurdish forces.

lingering in beaches Associated Press

BILOXI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Mississippi toxic algae bloom that left dead marine animals scattered along the shoreline is forcing officials to close beaches. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst toxic algae bloom, called the red tide, has been lingering in the Gulf Coast since Friday, The Sun Herald. Inia Soto Ramos, a biological oceanographer at USMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ocean Weather Laboratory at Stennis, said scientists have been working to forecast the movements of the algae. A weekend thunderstorm created a cloud cover the prevented satellite imaging. Monty Graham, director of USMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf Coast Research Lab and chairman of the Marine Science Department at NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stennis Space Center, said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any signs of change regarding the algae moving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The winds are forecast to come out of the South,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably in a bit of a pattern where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to change too much.â&#x20AC;? Officials have closed all beaches and oyster reefs indefinitely since the bloom appeared in Mississippi waters last week. Graham told the newspaper heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never seen a case of this magnitude in the more than 20 years heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

But owner William Grayson wants to fix the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have four projects that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of them is to upgrade the building.

He also plans to demolish a neighboring dilapidated building and make improvements at a couple of rental properties in the area. He is waiting on loan funds to be in hand and asked the board to give him a little more time.

Grayson plans a tin shed-type roof for the garage, which, along with the 415 MLK lot, was formerly part of the old Lusk Funeral Home property. At 415 MLK, a house with major roof damage had been covered with a tarp for some time. The

owner has replaced the roof and is making good progress toward being up to code, said Kim Ratliff, code enforcement officer. The board dismissed adjudication proceedings for another property at the corner of White Street and MLK.

Wife wants to finalize her divorce WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My husband has been stalling our divorce for two years, trying to keep me broke. We have two children, the oldest in college. Their father and his parents badmouth me to them and tell them inappropriate reasons about why I left the marriage, none of which are true. Fortunately, my children know this. But I never thought that my husband would involve his children in this manner. I never speak ill of him to the kids. I was truly hoping that we would come out of this on good terms and be able to co-parent like adults. But my husband blames me for everything. He was raised in a home where he was indulged and never had to take responsibility for his actions. He has not been honest with his parents, which might explain why they are upset with me. But they have also treated the children poorly since the separation. My husband brings in nearly five times my salary, but he pays a minimal amount of child support. Much of our money is being spent on lawyers because he insists on fighting over everything. His need to hurt me is only hurting the children. There are no rules at Dad’s house, because he wants the kids to be able to do things with him that they can’t do with me. He uses money to gain

Annie’s Mailbox favor, and I believe he thinks they will live with him if he wipes me out. How do I get him to put his children ahead of his hate and greed? — Fighting for My Kids Dear Fighting: It is truly sad that so many parents are willing to hurt the children in order to punish the spouses. You cannot force your husband to be more grown up, so protect yourself. Document every instance of manipulation or parental alienation by him or his parents, and give a copy to your lawyer. It may also help to get counseling for your children (and for you) to weather the storm. Dear Annie: I would like to add to your response to “Wiser Now” and “Foolish Daughter,” whose parents left estates to children who were less involved in caring for them. The hurt feelings caused when parents show favoritism not only affect the child who has been slighted, but also the relationship the child has with the sibling who was favored — not to mention residual feelings toward

the parent. My parents have been dead for years, but I am still acutely aware that my sister was Mom’s favorite. And while I have a relationship with my sister, it is always in the back of my mind that my mother’s treatment of her was different than her treatment of the rest of us. This is especially painful because my sister eventually abused my mother, and yet she still received what amounted to an equal portion of her estate because Mom forgave a large outstanding loan. — Still Bitter Dear Bitter: We have stated before that the bequests in a will are often perceived by children as a reflection on how much they were loved by the parent, especially when the bequests are unequal between siblings. Parents may think they are doing the right thing, but the results can poison the relationship between siblings forever. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for Staff Writer / Photographer Jebb Johnston’s four-part 2015 Year in Review to be presented Dec. 26-30, followed by the Top Ten Stories of 2015 to be presented on Friday, Jan. 1. Will public corruption be Number 1?

Murky circumstances of crime cloud convict’s welcome home D E A R ABBY: After I became an adult and left home, my father remarried a woman Abigail with a grown Van Buren son. “Jack” has been Dear Abby incarcerated for the past several years. I have only vague information about what he did, but I do know it was related to drugs and gang affiliation. His mother insists he was “framed” and refuses to talk about the charges. I haven’t been able to find any public information except that this wasn’t the first time he was arrested. My father has hinted that there is a bigger story there, but he keeps quiet out of respect for his wife’s feelings. Jack will be released soon, and my stepmom is already planning big family events for us to welcome him home. I have a wife and kids now, and I’m not sure I want them around an ex-con. At the same time, I don’t really know what happened, and I don’t want to start a family rift. What should

I do next? -- WHAT’S THE SECRET? DEAR WHAT’S: Talk to your father and tell him that unless you know the whole story about what Jack did that you will not be a part of the welcome home party. As a parent, you have a right to know whether your children could be in danger if they are around him and base your decision on it. Not that Jack might ever hurt your children, but should a rival gang member come after him, they might be collateral damage, as we so often read about these days. Better to err on the side of caution. DEAR ABBY: I was divorced 10 years ago. My children are all over 21. I talk with them once a month, but I contact my ex-wife only when there’s an issue that relates to our kids. My ex now has cancer. When she dies, am I expected to attend the funeral? I would like to go as a show of respect to my kids. However, I don’t know how they would react because they know I have had little contact with their mother for the last decade. The same question goes for my ex-mother-in-law, who is almost 90. I had a good rela-

tionship with her until the divorce, at which point she would no longer talk to me. Should I be there since she is the grandmother of my children? -- PLANNING AHEAD DEAR PLANNING: I think your question may be somewhat premature. Your relationship with your ex-wife and her mother may improve before anyone dies -- and let’s admit it, YOU could be the one to go first. If there is any chance that your presence at her mother’s funeral would upset your exwife, then I vote for skipping it and explaining the reason to your children. As to attending your ex’s funeral when (and IF) the time comes, remember that funerals are to comfort the living. During one of your monthly conversations with your children -- once your ex-wife is determined to be terminal and NOT before -- ask what their wishes are and abide by them. 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 know the kind of person you want to be friends with, and you seek these friendships out now with some success. Common interests and beliefs are part of it, though emotional simpatico is a bigger part. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your manner of interacting will follow a course. It’s important to start off right. If you interact timidly, that’s how things will continue. Start out strong and there will be an entirely different trajectory. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may not feel like contributing, or maybe you’re just unsure of what you have to offer. Give anyway. The more you participate, the better you’ll enjoy the others around you, which will lead to a more solidified group. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It would be awesome if wherever you went today you were able to feel relaxed and engaged with a real sense of belonging. It’s not going to happen, but go anyway. The risk will pay off. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Take

up space -- physically, audibly and spiritually -- with that big presence you’ve been known to turn up. By making yourself bigger you’ll honor the gifts you’ve been hiding lately. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll get what you need when you go where you’re likely to be taken care of. That means avoiding narcissists, i.e., those who simply cannot recognize the feelings and needs of others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There have been times when you set your personal boundaries too wide and weak for your own good. Then you overcompensated by setting them too rigid. Today brings evidence that you’ve found the perfect middle ground. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You wouldn’t want to be in an intimate relationship with someone you didn’t love, which is all the more reason to affirm your deep appreciation and devotion to yourself. Self-love will set the tone for all other ties. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). This is a different cast of characters than you used to have around you. You’ve changed, so you resonate with a new set of people. You’ll be attracting one more major player to your scene before the week is up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Children pretend to be superheroes. Adults on dates or in job interviews do versions of the same thing. To adopt an idealized self-image is only human. Still, it’s something to be aware of and keep in check today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re the leader again. A certain bored person may question your authority just to create mischief. Avoid this problem by anticipating it. Give everyone a task, even if you have to make it up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you’re sensitive, you’ll notice that one of your loved ones is seeking more than the usual encouragement and validation. This dip in self-esteem is something you can help with.

CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T MISS MATCHUPS Houston (6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7) at Indianapolis (6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite winner-take-all in the AFC South, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close. Both the Texans and Colts have lost two in a row, and the games havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been close with the average margin a whopping 25 points. Making this one even more interesting: Any of ďŹ ve quarterbacks could start. Andrew Luck could return for the Colts, but backup Matt Hasselbeck is banged up too, so it could be Charlie Whitehurst. Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian Hoyer was knocked out of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss, so T.J. Yates could get the nod. Indianapolis has won the last six in this series and has never lost to Houston at home.

Denver (10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3) at Pittsburgh (8â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5) Pittsburgh looks as hot as anyone in the AFC and could still catch Cincinnati in the AFC North. Denver could have Peyton Manning back soon, but it will likely be Brock Osweiler under center again this week coming off of his ďŹ rst loss as starter. The matchup to watch is when the Steelers have the ball: Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense leads the league in passing defense, while Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air attack has looked unstoppable at times since Ben Roethlisberger returned from injury. Arizona (11â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2) at Philadelphia (6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7) The Eagles have won two in a row despite giving up more than 400 yards in both games; turnovers and special teams touchdowns have been key. Arizona, on the other hand, has won seven in a row and has gone three games without a turnover. The Cardinals are also the only team in the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top ďŹ ve in total offense (ďŹ rst) and total defense (fourth). Only one team has allowed more touchdown passes than Philadelphia, while only one team has thrown more touchdowns than Arizona.

NUMBERS GAME

5.0

Sacks by Khalil Mack of the Raiders in a 15â&#x20AC;&#x201C;13 win over the Broncos. It was the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve-sack game in the NFL since Aldon Smith of the 49ers had 5.5 against Chicago in 2012. Mack became the second Raider to record ďŹ ve sacks in a game, joining Hall-of-Famer Howie Long, who did it in 1983 against the Redskins. Mack now leads the NFL with 14.0 sacks, a half-sack more than J.J. Watt of the Texans and Ezekiel Ansah of the Lions.

POWER RANKINGS

OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE Quarterback Blake Bortles is starting to show why Jacksonville chose him third overall in the 2014 draft. Bortles threw three touchdowns without an interception in a 51â&#x20AC;&#x201C;16 rout of the Colts, giving him eight touchdowns and no interceptions the last two weeks. Only Tom Brady and Carson Palmer have thrown more touchdown passes than Bortlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 30. ... A more famous quarterback from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft, Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Johnny Manziel, is now 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 as a starter this season after hitting 21-of-31 passes for 270 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 24â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 win over San Francisco. The off-ďŹ eld questions will remain, but Manziel has three more games this season to try to prove he can be trusted on the ďŹ eld. ... No quarterback is hotter than Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Russell Wilson, who has 16 touchdowns and zero intercep-

tions in his last four games. The Seahawks will need him to stay hot, because their running backs keep getting injured. Marshawn Lynch is still out indeďŹ nitely after abdominal surgery, and Thomas Rawls went down with a season-ending ankle injury Sunday against Baltimore. DuJuan Harris and Fred Jackson, who have a combined 45 carries this season, are Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only healthy backs. ... Among Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other signiďŹ cant injuries: New England safety Devin McCourty will likely miss time with a sprained ankle but should be back before the playoffs. ... Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson sustained an MCL sprain but is expected to return this season. ... The news was not as good for Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew, Jets receiver Devin Smith or Redskins tight end Derek Carrier: All are out for the season with torn ACLs.

Bruised Bengals Just when it looked like Andy Dalton had turned the corner and might be ready to take Cincinnati on a postseason run, the injury bug bit. Dalton broke his thumb making a tackle Sunday against Pittsburgh and will miss at least this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at San Francisco. The good news is that surgery will not be needed, but the Bengals need a win somewhere in the next three weeks to clinch the AFC North, and backup AJ McCarron may have to deliver it. His job will be tougher if star tight end Tyler Eifert, who left Sunday with a concussion, misses time. Eifert is tied for the NFL lead with 12 touchdown catches.

Patriots clinch division title with Dolphins loss to Giants The Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Another year, another division title for the New England Patriots. The Patriots (112) claimed their sixth straight AFC East championship and the 13th under Bill Belichick by virtue of the Miami Dolphins losing 31-24 to the New York Giants on Monday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have it, but at the end of the day itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not our end goal,â&#x20AC;? Patriots defensive lineman Alan Branch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put it in our pocket, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to the (Tennessee) Titans.â&#x20AC;?

New England has captured 12 of the last 13 division crowns, with the exception of 2008 when quarterback Tom Brady sustained ACL and MCL tears in the season opener. After winning 11 games to start the season, New England lost two in a row against Denver and Philadelphia, falling to the No. 3 seed in the AFC. The Patriots bounced back Sunday with a 27-6 win at Houston and reclaimed the top spot in the conference all by themselves with losses by the Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals.

The Patriots received a boost from the return of tight end Rob Gronkowski, who bruised a bone and sprained his right knee against Denver. He was inactive against Philadelphia. Gronkowski had four catches for 87 yards and a touchdown in the win against the Texans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great football player,â&#x20AC;? running back James White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His presence is going to be felt anytime he steps on the field. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to have him out there.â&#x20AC;? Already without their top wide receiver in Julian

Edelman, New England may be down another key contributor after running back LeGarrette Blount injured his left hip Sunday in Houston. Defensive lineman Domonique Easley was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after he hurt his thigh in the second half against the Texans. Blount is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher with 703 yards and six touchdowns on 165 carries. Brandon Bolden filled in after Blount was hurt, finishing with 51 yards on 16 carries. He figures to be the

back Belichick will rely on most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been a valuable guy for us on all four downs,â&#x20AC;? Belichick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carrying the ball, making tough yards, playing as a sub back and playing in the kicking game, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shown a lot of versatility and given us a lot of quality plays in all those situations.â&#x20AC;? Notes: New England signed free-agent RB Montee Ball to the practice squad. Ball, who spent two seasons with the Broncos before he was released in September, played with White at the

University of Wisconsin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep in touch,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I keep in touch with a lot of the players I played with in college, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to have him here.â&#x20AC;? Branch and White were both unaware the Patriots had clinched the division until Belichick told them Tuesday. Patriots players had AFC East championship hats in their lockers. New England also signed WR DeAndre Carter to the practice squad and released WR Austin Hill and DL Kelcy Quarles from the practice squad.

Pre-Christmas schedule winding down BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The first of the final seven Pre-Christmas doubleheaders involving Alcorn County basketball teams begins tonight at the Jumpertown Tournament. Alcorn Central and Smithville will match up in the first two contests, with the host clubs taking on Blue Mountain on the back end. Play will conclude Friday with consolation and championship contests. Following play at Jumpertown, Alcorn Central will host Pine Grove on Monday to close out its Pre-Christmas fare. The Lady Bears (7-4), Big-

gersville (6-3) and Kossuth (6-5) are all in a battle for the top seed in the upcoming Alcorn County Tournament. Winning percentage though games of Tuesday, Dec. 22 will be used to determine the seeds and playing dates for the 2016 event.

Friday All four schools and eight teams will be in action, with Alcorn Central matching up against either Blue Mountain or Jumpertown in the final round of play. Other games have Corinth at Amory in 1-4A play, Walnut at Biggersville and South Pontotoc at Kossuth. The di-

vision twinbill at Amory will begin an hour earlier -- 5 p.m. -- than normal. It will be Kossuth’s first action in 10 days, when they split a road encounter with East Union. The return match with South Pontotoc will also be Kossuth’s first home appearance since Nov. 24 and the last until a three-game homestand that begins with New Albany on Jan. 15. The Aggies enter play at 7-4, chasing Corinth (7-1) for the top seed. Kossuth beat South Pontotoc 81-66 in the first meeting on Nov. 10. The Lady Warriors (2-4, 1-2) will be looking to end a three-game slide that has seen Corinth average just un-

der 36 per contest. The Warriors (7-1, 3-0) will be out to extend their winning streak to seven without the services of two starters. Seniors Antares Gwyn and Quentin Patterson will be playing Saturday in the Mississippi All-Star Football Game in Gulfport. It will be the first game Gwyn hasn’t played in nearly four years to the day and 95 consecutive overall. The Lady Lions will take a four-game winning streak into Friday’s game with Walnut. The Lions (5-5) will be looking to get back over the breakeven mark after losing at Baldwyn on Tuesday.

Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Donta Armstrong was selected as a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-American for the 2015 season.

Armstrong named NJCAA All-American BY BLAKE D. LONG NEMCC Sports Information

Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Donta Armstrong has received the most elite individual accolade in the country. Armstrong earned AllAmerican honors from the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) following the conclusion of a dynamic final season with the Tigers. The Bruce High School graduate is the thirteenth football student-athlete in

school history to earn this prestigious recognition and the fifth since the beginning of this decade. “He is very deserving of this award and we are very proud for him,” said Northeast head coach Greg Davis. “He’s an all-purpose player and that’s a credit to him and his work ethic over the years. This guy has done everything right. “Donta did a lot of things on his own because he possesses the skill set to field the ball in an open space. He was going to make one or two people

miss and that gave him the absolute opportunity to gain yardage.” Armstrong started each game this season at receiver, but was decorated for his efforts as a return specialist. He finished third in the NJCAA with 772 total return yards. Armstrong compiled an average of 22.7 yards on 34 attempts between kickoffs and punts as a sophomore for Northeast. The 5-10, 160-pounder ended the campaign second in the Mississippi Association of

Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) in both kickoff return yards at 573 and punt return yards with 199. Armstrong was tabbed as the MACJC Special Teams Player of the Week with an incredible 298 yards against Mississippi Delta Community College. He had three 40-plus yard returns that each setup scores by the Tigers. He had his longest return of the campaign one week later versus rival Itawamba ComPlease see ARMSTRONG | 15A

Memphis’ Lynch leads offensive showcase The Associated Press

Paxton Lynch isn’t a household name yet. But if you’d like to get a head start on learning about the best college quarterback you might not have heard of — particularly if your favorite NFL team is looking for a new quarterback anytime soon — set aside some time on Dec. 30. That’s when the Memphis junior will lead the Tigers (9-

3) in search of their second win this season over a Southeastern Conference team when they face Auburn (6-6) in the Birmingham Bowl. Like many of the record 40 bowl games, the Birmingham Bowl is greatly overshadowed nationally by its playoff brethren. That doesn’t mean the lesser-known bowls provide any less offensive excitement, especially one featuring Lynch,

a 6-foot-7 wonder who threw for 28 touchdowns and only three interceptions this season. Lynch’s evolution from lightly recruited out of high school to arguably the best non-Power 5 conference player in the country came into focus while leading Memphis to a 37-24 win over Mississippi on Oct. 17. Even if the Birmingham Bowl isn’t Lynch’s last colle-

giate game, tuning in to watch is a must for fans of highscoring fun and playmakers. Some of the other top offensive players to watch in lesser-known bowl games this postseason:

New ‘Gard’: Assistant takes over for retiring Ryan The Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — By retiring at midseason at Wisconsin, Bo Ryan effectively allowed top assistant Greg Gard to have a three-month audition to prove that he could handle the head coaching job on a permanent basis. In his first full day on the job on Wednesday, Gard didn’t appear to be feeling any pressure. “I’ve never worried about the standpoint of what the

end result will be,” Gard said. “So for us, our main focus is how can we continue to move this team forward and improve,” he said. “How can we get some of these younger guys to play a little older?” The Badgers (7-5) struggled in the first few weeks of the season, losing more games than they did all of last year, when they went 36-4 and advanced to their second straight Final Four. But Wisconsin reached

those heights with a band of experienced and more talented players, led by national player of the year Frank Kaminsky. This year’s squad is less experienced and more reliant on freshmen. The players appeared to be a little dazed after the game, even though Ryan had discussed retirement for months. Ryan never offered a specific timetable, and hedged a few times about even coaching beyond 2015-16.

Gard said he didn’t know that Tuesday night’s win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi would be Ryan’s last appearance until before the game. And even then, he wasn’t entirely sure until after the final buzzer. “I just waited for his direction and I just said, ‘Hey, let me know what the plan is and what you need from me and what’s going to be next,’” Please see GARD | 15A

munity College. Armstrong raced 84 yards on the opening kick of the contest to give Northeast a first-and-goal situation. The Pittsboro native accumulated 1,103 allpurpose yards this year, which ranked third in the Magnolia State. His 122.6 yards per outing placed him at 17th among all athletes nationally. Armstrong was the Tigers’ top wideout for the second consecutive season. He recorded teamhighs of 29 receptions and 331 yards with one touchdown for Northeast. “God just keeps blessing me and that’s why I give him the glory all the

time,” Armstrong said. “When I first found out, it made me speechless. I never dreamed about being an All-American in anything. “I like being all over the field. That gives me the opportunity to get the ball in my hands and make plays. The coaches just trusted me back there and told me to make things happen. That’s what I did.” Armstrong was solid as a freshman with 39 catches for 538 yards. He had four touchdowns during the 2014 campaign, including two during Northeast’s homecoming victory over Coahoma. Armstrong concluded his time with 1,687 allpurpose yards and five scores.

season? Enter the Celebration Bowl, the very first of the 40-game marathon postseason and an opportunity for Football Championship Series members Alcorn State and North Carolina A&T to showcase their talents for a national audience on Saturday, Dec. 19. If you’re eager for a head start — and some offensive excitement — entering the rest of bowl season, Alcorn State running back Darryan Ragsdale should provide you with his usual array of highlights. The senior is second in the FCS with an average of 8.2 yards per carry, and he and teammate Lenorris Footman combine to average 191.4 yards rushing per game for an offense that averages 40.1 points per game.

Fantastic Falk Enjoying a good, old fashioned bowl-season shootout just wouldn’t be the same without a Mike Leach-coached team, would it? Well, the former swashbuckler turned Cougar is back in the postseason with standout quarterback Luke Falk directing Washington State’s version of the Air Raid against Miami in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 26. Falk leads the country in passing yardage per game (387.8), and he should provide all the high-flying excitement

you can handle while letting your holiday leftovers settle from the comfort of your couch.

All-Around Ervin Heisman Trophy finalist Christian McCaffrey from Stanford earned rave reviews this season for his versatility while setting the NCAA single-season record for all-purpose yardage (3,496). With far less notoriety, San Jose State running back Tyler Ervin finished second nationally to McCaffrey in all-purpose yardage (200.8 per game) and will lead the Spartans (5-7) against Georgia State in the Cure Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 19. Ervin had 1,469 yards rushing this season, including a 300-yard effort in a win over Fresno State, but the senior is nearly equally electric as a receiver and kick returner.

Fish Bowl No, it’s not OK to watch the Miami Beach Bowl on Dec. 21 just to see if you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of the two 450-gallon fish tanks in Marlins Park. Instead, tune in for one of the most entertaining wide receivers in the country in Western Kentucky’s Taywan Tayler. The junior is second in the country with 17 touchdown catches, and he’s tied for fourth in yards (1,363).

GARD CONTINUED FROM 14A

Gard recounted. Athletic director Barry Alvarez appointed Gard the interim coach. He plans to evaluate Gard’s work and make a decision at the end of the season about how the school will proceed. In speaking with the players in the locker room after Ryan broke the news, Alvarez focused his message on embracing the future. “Don’t be afraid of change,” Alvarez said. How the Badgers go about getting better remains a big question. A string of 14 straight NCAA appearances during Ryan’s tenure is in jeopardy. Defense has been a problem at times, as it was in the shocking 6967 loss to lowly Western Illinois in the season opener at home. Not that Gard is planning any wholesale changes. “Obviously our brand of basketball and our pillars of success are pretty well cemented and time-tested,” said

Gard, who has worked with Ryan for 20 years, including the last 14plus in Madison. At Wisconsin, that means playing tough defense without fouling and using hands. On offense, that means taking care of the ball and playing with efficiency. “Will there be additions, things that we need to get better at we need to spit-shine a little bit and improve upon? Some of that is with experience,” Gard said. Former Badgers assistant coach Howard Moore, now an analyst with the Big Ten Network, suggested that Gard might incorporate more of Ryan’s swing offense system back on to the floor. The system relies on good passing, screening and cutting from all five players on the floor. “During the last two years especially, with Kaminsky, Sam Dekker and other talented veterans, the Badgers had the experience to play with less structure,” Moore said.

Frazier goes to White Sox in 3-team, 7-player deal The Associated Press

CHICAGO — The White Sox were looking to add some pop while solidifying third base, and they are counting on Todd Frazier to provide it. The All-Star third baseman was acquired from the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday as part of a three-team, seven-player trade that also included the Los Angeles Dodgers. Los Angeles received outfielder Trayce Thompson, right-hander Frankie Montas and second baseman Micah Johnson from the White Sox, and Cincinnati got infielders Brandon Dixon and Jose Peraza and outfielder Scott Schebler from the Dodgers. The 29-year-old Frazier, who won last summer’s

All-Star Home Run Derby in Cincinnati, was an NL All-Star in each of the last two seasons and hit .255 this year with 43 doubles, 35 homers and 89 RBIs. “I’m pretty excited,” he said. “I’ve got to be truthful with you. I know it’s the American League. I know it’s gonna be a little different. It might take a little time to get acclimated.” “But I just saw the lineup on TV. It kinda put a smile on my face to see the guys we’ve got.” The move gives the White Sox a run producer and solid defensive third baseman who grew into a clubhouse leader in Cincinnati. They hope he can help lift a team that finished a disappointing fourth in

the AL Central at 76-86 and struggled to score despite the presence of Jose Abreu in the middle of the lineup. “Certainly, we feel a lot better,” White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. “You’ve got a middle-ofthe-order presence, obviously a power hitter with extra-base ability as well and someone to help solidify the middle and make it a little tougher to come through here.” His arrival means the White Sox will go with Brett Lawrie — acquired from Oakland last week — at second rather than third. Hahn said the White Sox were talking to Cincinnati about a trade for Frazier when that deal was completed.

“Brett gave us an answer at that time at third base should we do nothing else, and we also knew that if we were able to get Todd, Brett had the versatility to help us at second as well,” Hahn said. Frazier — a Jersey boy dubbed the ToddFather in Cincinnati — had in many ways become the face of Cincinnati’s franchise after he won the All-Star Game Home Run Derby so dramatically in July at Great American Ball Park. Teams started expressing an interest in Frazier during the winter meetings last week. Reds president of baseball operations Walt Jocketty said parting with him was not easy, nor was the call informing him of the deal.

Pets are partying like animals in ugly holiday sweaters BY SUE MANNING Associated Press

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ugly sweaters arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a Christmas tradition for people. Cats, dogs and even guinea pigs are joining the party. Zigzilla â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ziggyâ&#x20AC;? and Chopper â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lambchopâ&#x20AC;? got sweaters from PetSmart this year so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready when they get an invite to their first ugly sweater party, said the catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; owner Catie Savage of New York City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My non-cat lady friends definitely think I am crazy,â&#x20AC;? said Savage, who handles her catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Instagram site (@life_

of_ziggy), with 43,000 followers. She says she enjoys the sweaters more than the cats do, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which makes it even funnier to me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;PetSmartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ugly sweaters for dogs and cats are among our top five bestselling holiday apparel items so far this season,â&#x20AC;? said Eran Cohen, chief customer experience officer for the pet store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We even have ugly sweaters for guinea pigs.â&#x20AC;? Television ushered the ugly sweater in and out in the 1980s. Around the turn of the century it enjoyed a revival, starting with adults, who had par-

ties just to celebrate the ugliness. Kids got in on the act and now pets have nosed their way in, giving owners laughs and plenty to photograph. Ugly sweater dog events across the country this month included an ugly sweater contest for dogs at a park in Anaheim, California; a dog-friendly ugly sweater 5K run and walk in National Harbor, Maryland; and separate ugly sweater parties for big and little dogs hosted by Chicago Party Animals, one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest canine clubs with 2,000 members.

BABIES

made ugly sweaters everywhere from 99 cent stores to high-end stores, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an especially hot item at thrift stores â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though presumably most shoppers are buying them for people, not pets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our stores collect holiday sweaters year-round,â&#x20AC;? said Marla Eby, marketing and community relations director for Goodwill Southern California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we decorate them, adding ribbons, bows, and embellishments until they are at their gaudy best.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customers snap up the sweaters as soon as we bring them out on the floor,â&#x20AC;? said vice president of Retail Operations Craig Stone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are so popular we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep them in stock.â&#x20AC;?

Aimee Beltran of Virginia Beach, Virginia, has turned her blog (http:// irresistiblepets.net) into an ugly sweater classroom twice, using her 6-yearold Chihuahua Chuy as a model for the finished product. Her advice to anyone making a pet sweater: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have fun with it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it too seriously. Make it your own and your style. There is no right or wrong way to do it.â&#x20AC;? An ugly sweater has to celebrate Christmas. The bolder the colors, the brighter and the more stuff on it, the better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bring on the bows, snowmen, Santas, trees, buttons, stars, sequins, rickrack, felt, glitter and cotton. Sleeves can be mis-

matched, misshapen or missing. But most pets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Savageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would probably like to ditch the sweaters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dog vision is different than human vision and because patterns are not particularly useful to their vision, dogs probably could care less what their sweater looks like,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists and a professor at Texas A&M Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Veterinary Medicine. Most dogs and cats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like wearing sweaters unless they got used to being dressed young. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes the putting on or taking off can cause static electricity, which would make the dog even more anxious the next time,â&#x20AC;? Beaver said. If a dog has grown up wearing clothes or if a dog is small and short-haired and it is cold, a sweater will be OK, but wearing one for a contest â&#x20AC;&#x153;is of no consequence to the dog, which will be focused on the scents around it and not on the real appearance of other dogs,â&#x20AC;? Beaver said. Owners love to have fun with their pets, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;most of this is a people thing,â&#x20AC;? Beaver said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the year of the tassel in gift wrapping. This holiday season, in lieu of the traditional bow, lifestyles magazines are showing tassels and pompoms adorning brightly wrapped packages and wine bottles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing tassels on everything ... on pillows, throws, in fashion and in jewelry,â&#x20AC;? says Amy Panos, deputy editor of Home Design for Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Other creative gift toppers might include washi tape, cupcake liners, fabric, wire or tree sprigs. Panos recommends â&#x20AC;&#x153;going bigâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; make the tassel large, or top the gift with a giant, tissue-paper pompom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bigger the better,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes something look festive and modern.â&#x20AC;? Tassels may be purchased for a few dollars, but are easy to make, says Marcie McGoldrick, editorial director of crafts for Martha Stewart Living. Homemade ones â&#x20AC;&#x153;have a more considered, personal feel,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great for hostess gifts atop a wine bottle.â&#x20AC;? Usually crafted with yarn or thread, tassels can also be made with tissue and other paper. Better Homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; December issue uses brown Kraft paper, but scrapbook or construction paper works too. Panos suggests using metallic paper or incorporating several colors in the same tassel. She says solid colors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not patterned paper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; work best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks really subdued and elegant,â&#x20AC;? she says.

The tassels can be saved and hung as ornaments from a tree, wreath or light fixture, Panos says. For packages that need to be shipped or stacked flat, she recommends weaving ribbons of different sizes and colors in a simple pattern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; crossing one over another and attaching them in the back. Or use washi tape, which comes in many colors and holiday-themed patterns. Add a fringed â&#x20AC;&#x153;belly bandâ&#x20AC;? around the midsection of a gift: Cut a strip of crepe paper long enough to fit the package (either lengthwise or widthwise), fold it lengthwise and cut slits along the edges to fringe. Reopen, flatten and attach to package and top with a coordinating color of ribbon. More creative alternatives to bows: Add flattened cupcake liners to the tops and corners of packages, says McGoldrick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They add dimension and texture and come in great colors.â&#x20AC;? To create a monogram, bend 8-gauge wire to form an initial, and then wrap it with yarn or thin ribbon and glue the yarn ends to the wire. Attach it to the package with matching yarn or ribbon, says Kayla Kitts, special projects editor for HGTV. com. Make a gift tag from fabric glued to cardstock, and attach it to the package with ribbon, Kitts says. Use the eraser end of a pencil, dipped in paint, to create a design or image on a package wrapped in Kraft paper, says Kitts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It adds that personalized touch.â&#x20AC;? Wrap gifts in a square of inexpensive, holiday-themed fabric with the corners gathered and tied at the top; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x153;furoshiki,â&#x20AC;? a Japanese term, and works especially well for small gifts.
