Buddy Benches encourage friendship BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Tate Baptist Church is hoping local youngsters will “Be a Buddy – Make a Friend” while at school. In effort to promote the goal, a group of church members made 11 Buddy Benches to be placed at elementary campuses in Corinth and Alcorn County. The making of each Buddy Bench is part of the “Tate Cares” service program done each July throughout the community. “We were looking for a way to help the community,” said outreach secretary Jean Jones. “Earl (Owens) took it and ran with it.” “It turned out to be a pretty big project,” added Owens. Each bench has Buddy painted on it with colorful handprints and the phrase “Be a Friend” on the sitting area. It also has Tate Baptist placed the bench on the back. Jamey Bragg did all the artwork on the benches, according to Owens. Members of the Buddy Bench Project are Richard Tenhet, Maury Sanders, Jerry Pratt, Stan Plaxico, Michaela Roberts, Bragg, Jones and Owens. “Our hope is for children to care for one another and be a friend,” said Jones. “So many

VFW Auxiliary greets male family members BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

With a change in name as well as membership, the VFW Ladies Auxiliary of Corinth will now be known simply as the VFW Auxiliary. The decision was made during the 116th annual National Convention in Pittsburgh, Penn. by delegates of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) and was passed as a resolution to amend their national Bylaws, allowing male family members to join the Ladies Auxiliary VFW. As president of VFW Post 3962, Edie Simpson expressed her excitement for the change which took effect on Aug, 21.

“Though our former ladies auxiliary will continue to be open to female soldiers, we are looking forward to having men join us and have already had two or three express an interest in doing so,” she said. “They have not joined yet, but we are hopeful that they will. We still have our VFW Men’s Auxiliary, so now they will have a choice.” Echoing her enthusiasm, VFW Auxiliary National President Francisca Guilford announced her appreciation for the decision. “It’s an exciting time to be a member of the Auxiliary,” she said. “Women comprise nearly twenty percent of our Please see VFW | 2A

Pa. His idea was to have a bench on the playground designated for students who aren’t sure who to play with, who to talk to or who just want to assess a situation before joining in a group. The bench would be a place to meet and play with new

friends. “It’s not an original idea, but something we wanted to become part of “Tate Cares,’” said Owens. (More information can be found on the Buddy Bench at buddybench.org.)

Agency’s Angel Tree needs last-minute help BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

“We are going to need help.” Those were the words of Salvation Army Director Michelle Miles on Thursday. Thirty-one names on the agency’s Angel Tree have yet to be turned in at the Dec. 17 deadline. “I hope and pray they have just forgot about the deadline,” said Miles. “Right now, I am panicking … we need those angels back as as soon as possible.” The Angel Tree contained 89 names when it was placed on Nov. 30. Each child’s name along with clothing sizes and particular toy desired are placed on the tree in the form of a Christmas-type ornament.

Miles also had to send out 21 names after their bag was turned into the agency. The bags came back with no clothes or only one toy. “Clothing needs to be met first,” said Miles. “Those who adopt an angel need to buy clothing first because that’s what kids need most.” Half of the names fall in the age 0-5 age bracket while the other half consists of children 8-12 years-old this year. “We need people to fill in the gap for these children,” said Miles. “We can’t minister to them if they are cold and have no clothes or shoes.” For more information about the Salvation Army Angel Tree call 287-6979.

the board gave a continuance for the damaged sign issue at the former Tina’s Treasures property. The owners have indicated a tenant has been secured and a new sign is planned. The city is concerned that the damaged sign is a safety risk. In other items before the city board this week: ■ Aldermen approved a memorandum of understanding with the Kossuth Volunteer Fire Department to help the Corinth Fire Department apply for a regional grant that would provide a pumper that could replace one of the department’s older trucks. If approved, the plan includes measures for responding to situations at the airport with foam. ■ The board approved the sale of a small strip of property to the owner of Dogwood Plantation. It is land the state previously deeded to the city after acquiring it for right-of-way during highway construction. ■ The board gave approval for the mayor to sign an agreement with the Kansas City Southern railroad that will allow drainage pipes to go under the railroad in the upcoming Economic Development Administration grant-funded drainage project in the Tishomingo Street basin area.

JACKSON — Mississippi students in elementary and middle grades lagged behind their counterparts in 10 other states in 2014-2015 on tests of math and language arts. Those are findings of the second batch of findings from Mississippi’s only administration of a multi-state test meant to measure achievement under new academic standards. The results, released Thursday by the Mississippi Department of Education, are a big drop from the 2014 state tests, but that decrease was expected. State Superintendent Carey Wright says the new tests were written to be much harder. “I’m delighted, to be honest with you, that the children did as well as they did with this level of rigor,” Wright told reporters Wednesday. “That’s the good news for Mississippi.”

In math, about 26 percent of students in grades 3-8 met or exceeded expectations on the test, said state assessment director J.P. Beaudoin. In English, about 30 percent of all students in those grades met or exceeded expectations. Though more students reached grade level in English, Mississippi is actually closer to other states in math. Score levels tended to decline in middle school grades, both in Mississippi and nationwide. Wright said that might stem from those students having started school under Mississippi’s older curriculum and having to navigate the changeover to the state’s current Common Core-linked standards. Last spring was the only time Mississippi will administer the test designed by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of Colleges and Careers. In 2016, Mississippi will begin giving a test custom-writ-

ten by Questar Assessment. From lowest to highest, PARCC’s score levels are described as not meeting expectations, partially meeting expectations, approaching expectations, meeting expectations and exceeding expectations. About 60 percent of students at least partially met expectations on the tests, Beaudoin said. PARCC was unpopular among administrators because the test was given in two parts separated by weeks, requiring more testing days than some other exams. Giving up the PARCC, though, means Mississippi won’t have easy comparisons to other states. Wright said school leaders nationwide are studying how to maintain such comparisons. Some of Mississippi’s 145 school districts saw few or no students score at the most advanced level, while others met or exceeded the multistate average.

nation’s military, and this change allows all spouses, fathers, grandfathers, sons, grandsons and brothers to serve others in honor of their veteran.” “It not only expands the eligibility of the organization’s members, it provides us a wonderful opportunity to serve more veterans and promote patriotism in communities across our great nation,” she added. Those eligible to join are male or female relatives of someone who has served in overseas combat and are interested in serving veterans, active-duty military, their families, and their community in honor of the sacrifices and commitment of every man and woman who has served in uniform. Established in 1914, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Auxiliary was created to serve the veterans of United States and its communities in honor of those who’ve served. The VFW Auxiliary is one of the

nation’s oldest veterans’ service organizations and its members are the relatives of those who have served in overseas combat. It has nearly 465,000 members nationwide who volunteer millions of hours and fund-raise millions of dollars for charitable projects which benefit veterans, military service personnel, and their families. Through its National Programs, the auxiliary assists with the VFW pass or block legislation which impacts veterans and their families, provides nearly a million volunteer hours in the VA medical system, conducts patriotic programs with thousands of students and offers hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships for the nation’s youth. With more than 4,000 Auxiliaries, there is likely one nearby working to improve the lives of America’s uncommon heroes.

include: “Feliz Navidad”, Elvis’ “Blue Christmas”, “Silent Night”, “I’m Getting Nuttin for Christmas”, “Jingle Bell Rock”, a German dance march and other seasonal tunes. In addition to festive music, there will also be an opportunity for children to participate in an art project in which they will create a special gift for their parents during rehearsal time. The last rehearsal is slated to be held from 4 to 6 p.m. tonight in the community center’s auditorium. “We are visiting Mississippi Care Center and Cornerstone Health & Rehab Center at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., respectively,” said EOF Chairman Samuel Crayton, Jr. “Michelle Lyons, our producer has prepared the children to sing 10 to 12 songs for the finale and five

to six songs for the nursing homes.” Lyons has also collaborated with Bruce Dobbs of the Corinth School District and his students to play a couple of Christmas instrumentals. “The visit to the nursing homes brings a lot of joy to the residents,” said Crayton. “At the end of the program, the children hand out candy and take pictures with them. The joy and tears that come from the residents are overwhelming. Many of them do not have an opportunity to mingle with children ages five through 18.” “When entering the nursing homes we make a circle in the hallway singing Christmas songs to somewhat announce our arrival on our way to the staging area (kitchen). Adults assisting on the tour help the nurses wheel residents into the entertainment area to enjoy the program,” he con-

tinued. “Children joining the ensemble for the first time really light up when they enter the facilities. For most of them, it is their first visit to one.” In coordination with the children’s program, the community center will also hold its annual Christmas celebration from 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 19 until 1 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 20 with music by Dr. Disco (Michael Spears) in the banquet hall. Food and drinks will be available for purchase and holiday attire is requested. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door and are available through several volunteers.

McNairy OKs field house construction SELMER, Tenn. — A contract was approved to repair the Michie School’s roof, a bid for demolition construction to clear some properties, and a bid to build the Carson Herrin Memorial Field House were also approved during the December meeting of the McNairy County Board of Education. McNairy County Director of Schools John Prince was pleased to report that only one school cafeteria lost money in the last month. Adamsville High School’s cafeteria reported a profit of $11,000 and Ramer School’s cafeteria was the only one losing money in the month, but that was a meager $740. The county will receive a grant from Utrust. The grant money could be used to buy a computer lab for student instruction. McNairy County’s School System received $9,000 last year from Utrust. Matlock Roofing won the bid to repair the roof at Michie School with a low bid of $88,000. Volunteer Bridge Construction was the low bidder for some property demolition to clear the area for future school instruction. Keith Freeman Construction was the winning bidder to build the fieldhouse at Michie School for $44,500.

Coach remembered as dedicated mentor BOONEVILLE — Longtime Booneville High School coach Riley Presley was remembered

The Holiday House

this week as a man who was true blue — and gold. Presley, 65, was currently serving as defensive coordinator for the Booneville High School football team. He died last Friday after a brief battle with cancer. The longtime coach spent 40 years on the sidelines, coaching for one year in Ripley and 39 more in Booneville. Funeral services were held Tuesday in the Booneville High School gym under the direction of McMillan Funeral Home. Presley was a member of a tight-knit coaching staff at Booneville including his younger brother, Jody, who served as an assistant coach. “Riley Presley touched thousands of lives over 30 years of coaching and teaching,” said Booneville Head Football Coach Mike Mattox. Booneville School District Superintendent Dr. Todd English said Presley was a vital and beloved member of the Blue Devil family. “He was a true Blue Devil. He loved the district and he loved the kids,” said English. He recalled numerous times he would arrive at the school to find Presley mowing the field or working in other areas that he didn’t have to do. “He just always wanted what was best for Booneville,” said English. The superintendent said the close-knit nature of the coaching staff and of the entire school system is part of what has made Booneville successful and people like Presley who dedicate their lives to making a difference are at the heart of that. “He will be sorely, sorely missed,” said the superintendent.

Money doesn’t matter BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Money doesn’t matter ... much. In this year’s Republican nominating race, the standing of the candidates is in inverse relationship to the amount of money they have spent. Earlier this month, the front-runner, Donald Trump, had spent about $220,000 on television advertising. His runner-up, Ted Cruz, had invested just shy of $1 million. In third place — a distant third in The New York Times/CBS Poll — comes Marco Rubio, who had spent over $10 million on media. And bringing up the rear is Jeb Bush, who had garnered a hearty 5 percent of the vote by spending almost $30 million on TV ads in his campaign. Bush is en route to winning the John Connally Award for amount of money spent per delegate vote at the convention. The lesson is clear, or should be: The importance of money is highly overvalued in a high profile presidential race. It still is a deciding factor in down ballot races such as those for senator and governor, and is the beall-end-all for congressional or state legislative races. But the free media coverage of a presidential race simply overwhelms what the paid media can bring to a campaign. We see wonderfully produced ads for the likes of Bush and Rubio, only to see the real thing in a debate a few weeks later. This disjuncture is disturbing. The figure conjured in the ads has only the most tenuous relationship with the guy we see at the podium. Who are we to believe, the ads or our own eyes? Paid media has some specific purposes, but is hardly a cure-all for what ails a campaign. It can provide biographic depth, particularly with a candidate with a moving life story like John McCain or Ben Carson. It is very useful for hitting an opponent with negatives, as Mitt Romney did to Newt Gingrich and President Obama did to Romney. But when debates come as frequently as they do in the GOP nominating process, it is easy for a candidate or a target to debunk the accusations and nullify the ad buy, no matter how extensive. Its greatest use is to rebut opposition attacks and to make the attacker appear untruthful or ruthless as a counterpunch. So why do candidates spend their entire waking lives raising money if it’s not that important? Money has become a status symbol with the media, a gauge of how seriously to take a candidacy. For example, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee’s inability to raise funds typed him as a minor candidate. Likewise with former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. So the winners of the last two Iowa caucuses (Santorum in 2012 and Huckabee in 2008) are way down in the polls in this year’s Iowa contest. Why? Because their limited fundraising caused the media to marginalize them and focus on Ben Carson – who raised vast amounts – instead. FEC filings have become like campaign posters, attesting to the strength of a candidacy – show pieces to be paraded about but not actually spent. Texas Senator Cruz first won respectability as a candidate when he out-raised others in the first reporting period, which he has continued to do. Cruz never had to spend the money; having it and displaying it was enough. So, curiously, the very press that deplores the Citizens United decision and castigates the amount of campaign spending that has followed in its wake perpetuates the myth of the importance of money. Before the voters get to cast their first ballots in the primaries, candidates have to prove their credibility in the money primary and in the debate primary. These winnowing processes — rather than the decisions of the voters themselves — spell inclusion or exclusion in these pre-primary rounds. So having a large bank account is like owning a fancy car or living in a mansion – a symbol of wealth worth more than the money itself.

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that I may not be given to contradicting and doubting, nor take for granted that which needs to be considered. Grant that I may have the faith and strength of heart to fulfill the longings of my soul. Amen.

Will Trump put America first? New polling shows Ted Cruz picking up major steam and looking very serious in challenging Donald Trump’s leadership in the Republican presidential candidate field. A Bloomberg News/Des Moines Register poll shows Cruz now leading in Iowa. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Cruz jumping up 12 points from 10 percent in late October. Now, at 22 percent, Cruz is just 5 points behind Trump. True to form, Trump is beginning personal attacks against Cruz. “I have far better judgment than Ted,” said Trump on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. That same day Trump told Fox News, “You look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like – frankly, like a little bit of a maniac. You’re never going to get things done that way.” Maybe it’s time for Republican voters to step back and think about what kind of leader Americans need in these troubling times. Trump, a world-class salesman, hits an emotional bull’s-eye with his campaign theme “Make America Great Again.” This is indeed what we want. This is what got the Tea

Party started to begin with. Now, with our economy growing well below historic averStar age, with our Parker national debt equal to the Columnist size of our entire economy, with Medicare and Social Security insolvent to the tune, by some measures, of $100 trillion, with the American family in shambles and almost half our babies being born to unwed mothers, you have to be on another planet, or a Democrat, to not know America is in decline. But it takes a leader that’s “a little bit of a maniac” to take on turning this big ship around. It takes someone who cares more about country than about self to stand and fight against an entrenched status quo. Ted Cruz has stood courageously alone since his day one in the Senate, shining light on what is wrong: about growing debt, about Obamacare, about taxpayer funds going to Planned Parenthood, about immigration. Donald Trump today is reaping the harvest of public awareness that

Ted Cruz has been sowing for years. Trump should be thanking Ted Cruz. When Trump compared himself a number of months ago to President Reagan, Stu Spencer, who ran Reagan’s presidential campaigns, and Ken Khachigian, Reagan’s chief speechwriter, wrote a column headlined, “Trump Is No Reagan.” Speaking about Reagan, they wrote, “It was America that was great, not him – a studied contrast with Trump’s overwhelming self-absorption.” While Ted Cruz has been fighting the lonely battle, what has Donald Trump been doing? According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Trump’s political contributions from 1989 to 2015 total $1.4 million. During the 19 years from 1989 to 2009, more than half went to Democrats. This includes thousands to Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid. Trump justifies this by saying, “As a businessman you want to be friendly to everybody.” It’s exactly this unprincipled culture that has turned Washington into a cesspool. At a time when we must rebuild our values, does

a man who is on his third marriage, who has been all over the place on abortion and defining marriage, represent the kind of values we need? Can we believe that Trump, who played football and baseball in prep school and then got a medical deferment to shield himself from the draft during the Vietnam War, and now questions whether John McCain, tortured for years as a POW, is a hero, is someone who puts America first? Or is his real love affair with Donald Trump? We need a leader who is committed to a task bigger than himself, to values of which he is part. Not someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth and who is now on a massive ego trip. America is about God, truth, freedom and personal responsibility. And we need a leader who can get these truths to minority Americans, trapped all these years by the lies of the left. Frankly, between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, it’s not even a contest.

Robertson’s fall from legislative power STARKVILLE — The attorney who pleaded guilty to embezzling $400,000 from the Singing River Credit Union in Jackson County Circuit Court on Dec. 14 was once one of Mississippi’s most powerful state legislators and it’s hard to overstate the extent of his fall from power. Former state Sen. Tommy Robertson pleaded guilty to one count of a five-count indictment charging him with using his position as board attorney for the credit union to embezzle a total of $484,092, with $379,592 coming from a single construction loan. Robertson, 59, served in the state Senate from 19922008. His legislative tenure had been marked by three DUI arrests – one in Biloxi in 1997, another on the Ole Miss campus in 2003 and a third arrest in Moss Point in 2008. The former Gulf Coast lawmaker also drew political fire, but no legal ramifications, in 2006 for submitting the low competitive bid to the Mississippi Development Authority to administer federal housing grants for Hurricane Katrina victims. It’s legal for state lawmakers to work administering federal funds that they

don’t appropriate or have other legal controls over. In that narrow context, there were no Sid Salter ethical violaColumnist tions, either. But Robertson and a former legislative colleague operated Jackson County Land & Title, a company created to correct problems found in property titles. The Mississippi Development Authority, the state’s economic agency, awarded a contract to the legislators’ company to finalize grants for Coast homeowners who lost property to Hurricane Katrina. The legislators, both private attorneys, submitted the lowest bid and their company received $250 for every grant it finalized. Democratic critics and some media outlets howled over supposed ethics violations, but the Legislature had no authority over the federal grant money Robertson and his partner reviewed and the Legislature didn’t appropriate the funds in question. Robertson and his partner were by $75 per contract the lowest bidder for the legal work. If anything,

the bid submitted by the lawmakers seemed low based on the work required and the subsequent political flak the pair incurred. Looking back, it’s hard to fathom Tommy Robertson ending up in this situation. In his legislative prime, Robertson was one of the half-dozen most powerful lawmakers in the state. Robertson chaired the powerful tax-writing Senate Finance Committee. More than a decade ago, Robertson was at the center of one of the state’s toughest political fights over the issue of the Mississippi Medicaid Reform Act of 2004. Then-state Democratic Party chairman Wayne Dowdy launched a series of attack ads against a group of Republican lawmakers and former Gov. Haley Barbour. The Democratic ads targeting Barbour, Robertson, Sens. Travis Little of Corinth and Alan Nunnelee of Tupelo along with state Rep. Greg Snowden of Meridian sought to place the sole blame for the Medicaid program cuts on Republican shoulders. The ads ignored the fact that the Medicaid cuts became reality in Mississippi with the strong support of Democrats in the Legislature. The Medicaid Reform

Act passed with strong bipartisan majorities – 43-8 in the Senate and 82-32 in the House. That was back in the era when Democrats controlled the Legislature. Robertson argued stubbornly – and truthfully – that Medicaid’s woes at that time had been greatly exacerbated by former Democratic Gov. Ronnie Musgrove’s exponential expansion of the state’s Medicaid program on this watch. Perhaps Robertson’s most noteworthy moment in the Legislature came in the battle of the so-called “tax swap” that would have reduced or eliminated the state sales tax on groceries and raised cigarette taxes. Robertson was Barbour’s most loyal ally in that fight. Robertson argued that the poorest families paid no grocery tax because their food stamp purchases are tax exempt. Health advocates, state Democratic leaders and even Republican former Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck supported the tax swap and argued the lower grocery tax would help the state’s working poor.

Selmer physician shares skills with Chinese doctors BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

It is a lengthy house call from Selmer, Tenn. to Shanghai, China, but one dedicated physician made the long trek to help further the education of some young Chinese doctors. Dr. Keith Ellis, a graduate of McNairy Central High School, recently spent two weeks in China in an academic exchange program with the Confucius Institute. Ellis had made connections five years ago with the program director and was invited to travel to China to help teach the doctors there about American medicine. Ellis is an instructor for the University of Tennessee in Jackson which helps with the training of the resident doctors. He works as a physician at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.

Professor Hsiang Kung confirmed the trip this summer with Ellis to spend time in Mainland China with the doctors at the University Medical School. “He talked to me a few years ago about wanting me to go there to help the family practice doctors,” said Ellis. “I am a teaching physician, so I wanted to go help them.” Ellis completed six hours of lecture while in China and he taught them just as he would doctors in America. While not all could understand English, there were several who did and they would explain to the others what was being said in the lecture. The doctor noticed that in China the teaching physicians were held to higher respect than were the regular physicians. “There is much more prestige in holding a PhD than in

practicing medicine,” said Ellis. “The Chinese medical education is somewhat different from the U.S. The title ‘doctor’ seems to be reserved only for those who have a medical degree and PhD.” The communist country has different goals for control of health care compared to the US. “The hospital system I toured was made of up 2-3 different buildings but essentially there was an inpatient hospital like we have here but also an outpatient hospital where people go for sore throats, to see their OBGYN, or if they have an emergency.” “It opened my eyes when I got to their hospital,” commented Ellis. “In my mind, that hospital system operated about like a hospital system in the US in the 1950s.” There are hospital systems in China that rival, if not outshine, modern hospitals in

the US. and Europe. However, these tend to be located in more westernized areas or in very wealthy areas. Ellis said he was watched closely by most everyone when walking the streets in China because they do not see many Americans as tourists. “They were nice to me because their culture teaches people to not be rude in formal situations,” explained Ellis. “I learned a few words in Mandarin, but not enough to really carry on a conversation. They did their best to speak English.” The one phrase the doctor learned in China was “wu ting bu dong.” It means “I hear you, but I don’t understand.” “It was a bit frustrating to have to use so often, but once I said it, then people would change the way the interacted with me,” he remarked. “They

would be very deliberate in showing me pictures or using other ways to help me understand them because most were able to use English. It was very humbling.” The trip took 17 hours from America to China and a 24,000mile round trip. Dr. Ellis said he did learn in his time there that most Chinese are similar to Americans. The students at the university were constantly texting on their smart phones and listening to headphones. The topic of conversation during meals with hosts included parents discussing where their children would go to school and how they were performing in school. “They wanted to support their children, make sure they got a good education, and for their children to grow up to be productive adults,” said Ellis.

Jesus will always be there BY JIMMY REED Columnist

For my 10th birthday, Mama gave me a small black Bible and said, “When you are alone, troubled, afraid, and have no one to turn to … look at the picture on page 186.” I turned to the page. Beneath a man with long, flowing hair and a beard were these words: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” It was a picture of Jesus Christ. In looping, boyish handwriting, I wrote three words at the bottom of the page that are still there, sixty years later: “Look at me.” As kids, my brothers, sisters, and I were fed a big breakfast on Sunday morning, ordered to scrub ourselves from head to toe, and dress in our Sunday best for church. On some Sundays, I would ask Mama to let me worship with my boyhood best friend and mentor, Jaybird, who was a deacon at the little country church just a short walk from my father’s Mississippi Delta farm. She always did, reasoning that as long as I was in a house of the Lord on the Sabbath, it didn’t matter which one. Nobody mind-

ing the walk home, he didn’t say a word, but when we stepped up on his porch, he reached for the dreaded willow switch. “Boy, why did you yell out like that in de Lawd’s house?” “Because He won’t look at me, Jaybird.” “Who?” I turned to page 186. The old black man looked down at a frightened little boy holding a Bible, and did something he had never done before: He laid the switch aside, folded me into his arms, and held me a long time. Jaybird is in Heaven now, but I have never forgotten what he said while holding me that day: “Boy, don’t never forget that Jesus loves you; He died for you. He looks at you every minute, every hour, every day … and He always will.”

ed that I was the only white person in the congregation; to them I was just another one of Jaybird’s children. When Reverend Moses Malachi Mason’s sermons were too long for my short attention span, or if I didn’t understand them, I would pretend to be reading the Bible so that Jaybird wouldn’t scold me, but actually I was looking at the pictures, especially the one on page 186. The more I looked at the man in the picture, the more I was captivated, but wished that His head wasn’t turned to one side and that His eyes didn’t have a faraway look in them. “Look at me,” I would whisper time and again, but He never did. One Sunday, I became so absorbed in the picture that I forgot where I was, and in dead silence during a moment when Reverend Mason had paused to catch his breath, I forgot to whisper, and instead shouted at the man in the picture: “Look at me!” Immediately everyone in the congregation did just that — including Jaybird. His angry stare foretold what was coming. Dur-

Executive’s fraud arrest unrelated to drug price hike BY TOM HAYS Associated Press

NEW YORK — Martin Shkreli, the former hedge fund manager vilified in nearly every corner of America for buying a pharmaceutical company and jacking up the price of a lifesaving drug more than fiftyfold, was arrested Thursday on securities fraud charges unrelated to the furor. The boyish-looking 32-year-old entrepreneur — a relentlessly self-promoting figure who has called himself “the world’s most eligible bachelor” on Twitter and recently plunged into the hip-hop world by buying an unreleased album by the Wu-Tang Clan — was taken into custody in a gray hoodie and awaited an appearance in federal court in Brooklyn. Online, many people took instant glee in his arrest, some of them joking about a judge ratcheting up his sentence or lawyers jacking up their hourly fees 5,000 percent for de-

fending him in his hour of need. His attorneys had no immediate comment. Shkreli was charged in an indictment unconnected to the drug price hikes imposed by his company Turing Pharmaceuticals. The charges instead involve his actions at another pharmaceutical company, Retrophin, which he ran as CEO up until last year. Prosecutors said that in a “Ponzi-like scheme” between 2009 and 2014, Shkreli lost hedge fund investors’ money through bad trades, then raided Retrophin for $11 million in cash and stock to pay back his disgruntled clients. Shkreli “engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit,” U.S. Attorney Robert Capers said in a statement. Shkreli was charged with securities fraud and conspiracy. A second defendant, lawyer Evan Greebel, of Scarsdale, New York, was charged with conspiracy.

House OKs tax-cut plan, first leg of budget deal Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans overwhelmed divided Democrats to whisk tax breaks for businesses, families and special interests through the House on Thursday as Congress sped toward final votes on a year-crowning budget accord that will also bankroll the government in 2016. The tax measure, approved 318-109, includes political coups for both parties. More than 50 expiring tax cuts will be ex-

tended with more than 20 becoming permanent, including credits for companies’ expenditures for research and equipment purchases and reductions for lower-earning families and households with children and college students. Both chambers also planned votes today on the second leg of the budget compromise, a $1.1 trillion measure financing government, after which Congress was ready to adjourn until January.

BALTIMORE — Instead of a dramatic conclusion to the first of six trials of police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, the mistrial left Baltimore in suspense and confusion, with no immediate understanding of what happens next. The city had braced for a possible repeat of the protests, destruction and dismay that engulfed the city in April after Gray’s neck was broken in the back of a police van. But several small marches ended peacefully overnight as the community tried to process the news. Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry

Williams acknowledged the hung jury Wednesday after the panel deadlocked over whether Officer William Porter had committed any crimes by failing to take measures that might have saved the life of the young black man, who was shackled and placed face down in the wagon after running from police. Back at square one, prosecutors and defense attorneys met in Williams’ chambers Thursday morning to discuss dates for a possible retrial. A uniformed deputy stood guard, and when the lawyers left about 30 minutes later, they declined to comment, citing the judge’s gag order.

Maryland judiciary spokeswoman Terri Charles says lawyers confer again with the judge in the coming days, and that to her knowledge, prosecutors have not yet decided whether to retry Porter. The situation delays closure for an anxious city, and is unfortunate for both sides, said Steve Levin, a Baltimore defense attorney and former federal prosecutor. “The state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Freddie Gray died. Beyond that, they weren’t able to prove anything,” Levin said. “They proved a tragedy, but I don’t think they proved a crime.”

Suspect in custody after deputy shot ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. — An East Tennessee sheriff says a deputy and a woman have been injured in a shooting and the suspect has been taken into custody. Carter County Sheriff Dexter Lunceford told news outlets that the deputy, Jenna Markland, was shot twice in the face and was expected to recover. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says both victims are hospitalized in stable condition. Lunceford says he and three deputies responded to a call Wednesday evening reporting a drunken man waving around a gun. He says he arrived and got the man’s family out of the residence, but when other deputies arrived, the suspect began firing toward them. He says he and the others returned fire. The TBI said in a statement that 39-yearold Kelly Lee Pitts has been charged with seven counts of attempted murder.

Feds probe theater antitrust violations COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Justice Department and several states are investigating alleged antitrust violations by the country’s biggest movie theater chains, according to securities filings and the Ohio attorney general. AMC and Cinemark both acknowledged investigative demands by the government in recent SEC quarterly filings. Last month, AMC also acknowledged similar requests from Ohio, Florida, Kansas, New York, Texas, Washington and the District of Columbia. The government wants documents related to potentially anticompetitive conduct, “including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures,” AMC said in a Nov. 4 SEC filing. The company said it may receive similar requests from other jurisdictions. “The Company does not believe it has violated federal or state antitrust laws and is cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities,” AMC said in the SEC filing. The Justice Department declined to comment. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Thursday his office was the first among 10 jurisdictions examining whether AMC, Cinemark

and Regal have taken action to keep competitors and new theaters out of the market.

VW hires Feinberg for cheating claims DETROIT — Volkswagen has hired compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg to handle financial claims from people whose cars are involved in an emissions cheating scandal. The German automaker says Feinberg will develop an independent, fair and quick process for resolving the claims. Volkswagen has admitted to installing software on about 500,000 U.S. vehicles that turned on pollution controls during government tests then shut them off when the cars returned to real roads. Government regulators are evaluating the company’s proposal to fix the cars.

Mother wins tuition with half-court shot BLOOMINGTON — A Minnesota mom says she said a little prayer before hoisting a basketball half-court and sinking her shot to win thousands of dollars off her daughter’s private school tuition. Angela Ramey and her daughter, Grace raised the most money in a school fundraiser at Bethany Academy in Bloomington, Minnesota, earning three chances to make the half-court shot and knock $4,000 off tuition next year. Grace gave her mom the basketball and on the final try Angela launched it under hand. It bounced, swished through the net and the crowd went wild. The mother and daughter screamed with joy.

Deputy jumps into truck to save driver NORFOLK, Neb. — A Nebraska sheriff’s deputy jumped into the cab of a runaway semitrailer after the driver apparently passed out at the wheel, stopping the vehicle from possibly crashing off a busy viaduct bridge. Deputies responding to a 911 call about a reckless semi on U.S. Highway 81 caught up with the truck in Madison County, but it

wouldn’t stop. The truck slowed as it neared Norfolk, 110 miles northwest of Omaha, allowing Deputy Todd Volk to leap into action. He jumped from a cruiser onto the highway, then into the truck’s cab, where he was able to stop the big rig on the bridge. Volk says the driver appeared to be sick and officials said it may have been a diabetic reaction. Radio station KNEN in Norfolk says the incident happened Dec. 2.

Just Mayo eggless spread keeps name NEW YORK — Just Mayo says it will get to keep its name, a decision that caps a rollercoaster year for the vegan spread that has rattled the egg industry. Just Mayo’s maker Hampton Creek says it has worked out an agreement with the Food and Drug Administration that lets the eggless spread keep its name with a few changes are made to its label. The FDA sent a warning letter to Hampton Creek in August, saying Just Mayo was misbranded because mayonnaise is defined as having eggs. A representative for the FDA was not able to immediately available to confirm. As part of the deal, Hampton Creek says Just Mayo’s label will make it clear that the product does not contain eggs.

South Florida, Texas schools get threats MIAMI — Students in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Houston are heading to school Thursday, hours after school officials in those cities received threats similar to the ones received by the Los Angeles and New York school districts earlier this week. The Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Houston Independent School District announced on their websites that “lessthan-credible” threats were received late Wednesday evening, and that schools would be open on Thursday. Officials from Broward County Public Schools said they also received a threat. In a tweet sent Thursday, the district announced that all schools would be open Thursday morning. Miami school officials said district police immediately contacted federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and promised to deploy extra security to schools Thursday.

Trustees OK plans for tuition increases JACKSON — Tuition will be going up at Mississippi’s eight public universities in fall 2017, after College Board trustees gave final approval to the increase Thursday. The average price of tuition for an in-state student would rise by 4.1 percent next fall. The statewide average for two semesters of full-time tuition and fees would rise by an average of $268 to $7,027, crossing $7,000 for the first time. Increases range from 2.5 percent at Alcorn State University to 5 percent at Delta State University. Tuition would go up another 3.3 percent on average in fall 2017 under plans presented to the board. Universities sometimes change their second-year plans. Seven schools plan increases in 2017, ranging from 1.4 percent to 4.9 percent. Delta State plans no increase. Trustees had given preliminary approval in November, but their policy required a second vote. University leaders have said they need more money to raise faculty salaries, cover operational costs and make up for lingering reductions to state aid.

City’s new board will oversee police COLUMBUS — Officials in Columbus have voted to create a permanent oversight board for the city’s police department in the wake of the shooting death of a 26-year-old man. The Commercial Dispatch reports Columbus councilmen and Mayor Robert Smith voted Tuesday, with Smith breaking the city’s six councilmen’s tie. The board will consist of the mayor, two or three councilmen and six citizens. The board’s creation was one of six recommendations brought to the council by a recently formed committee responsible for reviewing work done by the police department’s special operations group. Members of that group were involved in the Oct. 16 shooting death of Ricky Ball. Officials say the board will review police-to-community performance, help construct a policy on excessive force and ensure a fair and thorough investigation into Ball’s death.

Lamar County fires school bus driver PURVIS — Officials say a Lamar County School

District bus driver was fired after she dropped two students off at her relative’s house, asking that relative to take them to school. Superintendent Tess Smith tells The Hattiesburg American the unidentified driver was terminated immediately after the Tuesday incident. Smith says the driver, who was with the district for over 10 years, covers two routes — one for elementary schools and another for middle and high schools. She says she isn’t sure why she dropped the students off, but may have done so because she was afraid she’d be late for her second route. Smith the driver could have called the transportation office and asked for help if she was going to have been delayed.

Woman repays half of embezzled money BAY ST. LOUIS — A woman who embezzled $6,000 high school band students earned for a Florida trip has repaid half the money as part of a plea deal. The Sun Herald reports 43-year-old Kimberly Luxich faced a 10-year prison term for embezzling money the Bay High School band members raised in 2013 while she was treasurer of the band’s booster club.

Court. Assistant District Attorney Chris Daniel says Luxich’s attorney asked if she could make a sizeable payment to stay out of prison. The booster club’s leaders agreed and Luxich brought $3,000 in money orders to court for deposit in the club’s account. Judge Roger Clark imposed a 10-year prison term, suspended eight years and ordered two years of house arrest for Luxich.

Wife wants to have her husband’s trust WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: Is it appropriate or even normal for a husband to always ask who I am on the phone with or who just texted me? Or to stand behind me while I’m reading my email, unabashedly reading over my shoulder? I don’t have anything to hide, but I find this behavior intrusive and annoying. Sometimes, he will even ask for details about certain parts of my conversation. I don’t dare refuse to answer for fear he will think I’m trying to conceal something. He has a quick temper and becomes defensive and angry if I question him. I hate conflict, so I just answer his questions to avoid his outbursts. One time, my best friend confided something highly personal to me and specifically asked me not to tell anyone. When I refused to disclose this information to my husband, he got very angry, arguing that spouses shouldn’t keep secrets from one another. I don’t feel it’s wrong to keep a confidence that has absolutely nothing to do with him. He did not agree, and I ended up telling him a less-detailed version of our conversation. But I was upset that he pressured me until I conceded. My husband doesn’t automatically report his conversations to me, and

Annie’s Mailbox I don’t expect him to. Am I too private or is he too nosy? — Nothing to Hide but My Annoyance Dear Nothing: He’s way too nosy. Confidences between friends or family members do not have to be shared as long as they don’t involve the spouse or the marriage. Saying that you were on the phone with “Myrtle” is sufficient information. Some spouses tell each other every detail of every conversation, but that is up to them. In your case, your husband is badgering and pressuring you for additional information. Either he doesn’t trust you, or he needs to control you. (It’s also possible he is guilty of doing things that he doesn’t want you to know about, and this is why he is overly concerned with your phone conversations and emails.) What concerns us the most is that you feel you must constantly appease him because of his anger issues. Tell him to knock it off before he turns into a

full-fledged bully and the marriage is in serious trouble. If he refuses, or if you believe his anger is dangerous or more than you can handle, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800799-SAFE. Dear Annie: My wife and I are having a disagreement about how to sign cards and notes. Does the man’s name come first or does the woman’s? I have always put my name first, but lately she says that her name should be first. So should it be “Tim and Marlene”? Or is it “Marlene and Tim?” — Your Opinion, Please Dear Tim: Your wife is right. Etiquette says the woman’s name comes first in all cases except where the signature is “Mr. and Mrs. John Smith” or some variation. Of course, not everyone cares, in which case, sign your names however you choose. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Rocky marriage is back on, but money keeps couple apart D E A R ABBY: My wife and I have been m a r r i e d three years. It has been rocky since Abigail year two. a great Van Buren She’s mother to our kids, esDear Abby pecially the one who is medically challenged. We have broken up twice so far, and are now back together. However, because of my job, we live in different states. Bottom line: I’m no longer sure this is the right relationship for me. She goes to school full time while I work a ton of overtime to support two households. We hardly see or spend time with each other. She has said she would rather me work and not see me so that everything gets paid. I feel she’s more about the money than the marriage. What do you think? -- UNHAPPILY MARRIED IN BALTIMORE DEAR UNHAPPILY: You and your wife both appear to be carrying a heavy load. For the sake of your children, it would be nice if your marriage could be resuscitated. However, not every marriage can be -- and the arrangement

you have now is clearly not working for you. If your wife actually feels that she would rather not see you so that everything gets paid, then I think she has made her feelings clear. The marriage no longer exists; it’s a financial arrangement. For that, you both have my sympathy. DEAR ABBY: Why does it feel awkward for me to call my husband by his first name? When I say his name from another room to get his attention, it only feels natural for me to call him “Babe.” When I’m talking about him to someone else, I use his name, but it still makes me cringe. It’s a perfectly normal, common name, so I don’t know why it makes me so uncomfortable. And this doesn’t just apply to my husband. Before him, I was in a six-year relationship with my high school sweetheart and had the same problem. Why can I only call my significant others “Babe” when talking to them? -- HUBBY’S NAME IS ________ DEAR HUBBY’S NAME: When couples become intimately involved, it is common for them to use pet names with each other. That you call your husband and your former boyfriend by the SAME name is interesting. Could it be that sub-

consciously you are/were afraid that if you don’t use the same pet name, you will absentmindedly use the wrong one? DEAR ABBY: My cousin and I have season tickets for the Broadway series at our local theater. Our problem is two women who sit next to us in the box. After intermission, when the second act starts, they talk loudly to each other as long as 10 minutes into the show. I want to say something, but I don’t want to cause any negativity or bad feelings because we will see them at each show. How should I deal with it? -- AUDIENCE MEMBER DEAR MEMBER: Here’s how: When the women continue their conversation after the curtain rises, you say to the one nearest you, “Please be quiet. We can’t hear the performance.” That’s not rude; it’s being assertive. If they persist after that, complain to the management and ask that, if possible, in the future you be seated apart from the magpies. 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). Whatever has been keeping you from saying what you think, feeling your feelings and acknowledging your needs will now be lifted. You’ll be free, expressive and well-received to boot! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Stop making something else more important than your relationship with yourself. There’s a juicy opportunity that will only surface when you’re being true to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Each person resides in his or her own unique reality. It’s a rare joy when you strike upon acres and acres of common ground with someone fantastic. There is so much to explore there -- what fun! CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone wants to get to know you better. Don’t worry; you won’t have to talk about yourself. Your actions will tell people who you are -- no more explanation than that will be necessary. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a mounting tension that,

if you let build without release, could be destructive. Let off steam periodically throughout the day. By the way, you could use a few more tools for stress relief in your arsenal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Details, rules, lists ... you care, but not to the point of preoccupation. You’re able to compartmentalize your need for order. When you’ve done what you were supposed to do, you’ll cut loose and have some fun. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your guiding planet Venus would like to remind you that there is no universal formula for beauty, humor, art or love. Therefore, you’re encouraged to go beyond what you’ve been taught is “acceptable.” SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t assume that a circumstance is fortunate or unfortunate until you’ve experienced it. Your maturity in this regard will place you among the elite. Whether or not that is fortunate or unfortunate remains to be experienced.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Wondering if you’re good enough? You can stop wondering now and never wonder again. You were born good enough. The real question is: Which relationships and endeavors are a fine fit for all your goodness? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your expectations might be derailed and, because you’re well-versed in the art of making the best of things, this will prove to be a delightful twist in the action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). After a week of acting according to plan, you’ll be yearning for adventure, and you won’t be alone in this. Suggest a bit of spontaneity and you’ll have no problem finding a partner in fun. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you’re not wrapped up in what people think of you, you’ll be the perfect candidate for drawing attention to a cause, entertaining the crowd or taking a social risk that will wake everyone up.

Lady Bears back in tourney finals BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn Central Lady Bears stayed healthy in the win column. A second blowout in two days also allowed Charlette Foster’s club to work on their long-term wellness. Alcorn Central nearly had enough points after the first quarter — and senior Lauren McCreless matched Smithville’s total — as the Lady Bears cruised into the championship game of the Jumpertown Tournament with a 59-19 decision in the first of four games on Thursday. The Bears dropped a 44-43 decision in Game Two. “Good win,” said Foster.

“We were able to rest a couple of players because of injuries.” After dropping two straight contests by a combined 15 points, the Lady Bears (8-4) won for the second time this week. They’ve taken care of business with relative ease, outscoring their opponents 131-53 in the two-game winning streak. Central led 18-8 after one and had the Lady Seminoles (2-8) doubled up — 32-16 — at the break. The Lady Bears held Smithville without a field goal in the second half, outscoring the Lady Noles 27-3 while punching their ticket to tonight’s championship contest.

Central will face the host Lady Cardinals, who improved to 4-8 with a win over Blue Mountain in Thursday’s third game, tonight at 7. The Lady Bears are the defending tournament champions, edging the Lady Cards 54-53 after rolling past Thrasher 72-22 in first-round play in 2014. McCreless led all scorers with 19 points, 15 coming from behind the arc. The senior as scored 37 points and knocked down 10 3-pointers in two games this week. Olivia Wilson followed with 12 points after making her season debut on Tuesday. Blue Mountain and Smith-

ville will face off in today’s consolation game at 4. • Alcorn Central rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit, but came up a point shy of knocking off the Seminoles in boys’ opening-round action. The Bears (4-9) trailed 2311 at the break. Central cut the deficit to 32-28 after three and outscored Smithville (83) by three in the final quarter. Connor Lewis led Central, which will face Blue Mountain in consolation play at 5:30, with 21, including six 3-pointers. Trevor Godwin followed with 11.

Mendenhall, Smart pulling double duty The Associated Press

BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall and Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart are pulling double duty this month after accepting head coaching positions with other programs. The feat is tricky, especially for the hiring programs that need all hands on deck as they transition to a new coaching staff. But Mendenhall and Smart were firm with the decision to

delay their moves to Virginia and Georgia, respectively, until after their current teams wrap up their postseasons. “I was taught growing up working with my dad on our ranch that if you start a job or start a task you do it as well as you can and you do it all the way till it’s finished,” Mendenhall said. “That’s where satisfaction and happiness and peace really comes from, is trying as

hard as you can to do the best that you can. “I’ve worked hard to establish trust with this team and these players and I care about them deeply. I want to help them finish what we started and possibly be an example for them in the future if they’re faced with a similar challenge to leave before something is done.” Mendenhall has been the BYU head coach for 11 years

with two more as defensive coordinator. Virginia will be Mendenhall’s second head coaching position. BYU’s last game, against Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl on Saturday, is so important that had Virginia not been willing to let him finish the season coaching the Cougars, Mendenhall said at his introductory press conference Please see DUTY | 13A

Braves’ top prospects gather for winter camp The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Starting pitcher Lucas Sims knows firsthand how quickly the Atlanta Braves have upgraded their minor league system. Sims, regarded as the team’s No. 3 top prospect a year ago, is considered 10thbest after a flurry of trades over the last year. A firstround draft choice for Atlanta in 2012, Sims joined more

than 20 other minor leaguers this week for the Braves’ first ever winter development camp. “It pushes everyone a little bit more and makes you dig a little deeper,” Sims said. “But in a way it’s not a competition because we all have the ultimate goal, to be here in Atlanta and help the Braves win championships.” Dansby Swanson, the Braves’ top prospect and the

majors’ first overall draft pick June, is unable to attend this week because of a family commitment. Swanson was acquired last week with outfielder Ender Inciarte and top pitching prospect Aaron Blair in the deal that sent All-Star pitcher Shelby Miller to Arizona. “We completely understand and respect that,” said assistant director of player devel-

opment Jonathan Schuerholz, son of former Braves general manager John Schuerholz. Swanson and Blair “just had their worlds rocked after the trade. It takes some time to kind of let the dust settle and understand now that they’re Atlanta Braves.” It’s possible that none of this week’s attendees will play in the maPlease see BRAVES | 13A

Quarterback Murray to transfer from Texas A&M The Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M has lost its top two quarterbacks after Kyler Murray left the team and was granted a release to transfer Thursday. The highly touted freshman followed Kyle Allen in leaving the team. Allen was granted his release last Thursday. “To all my family, friends and fans out there, I thank you for your love and con-

tinued support,” Murray said on Twitter. “I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given and relationships I’ve made at Texas A&M. I wish nothing but the best to all my guys in that locker room.” The move leaves the Aggies in a difficult predicament for the Music City Bowl against Louisville on Dec. 30. Texas A&M has just one scholarship quarterback on its roster in

Jake Hubenak, a junior college transfer from Blinn College who played sparingly this season. Murray missed practice Wednesday and coach Kevin Sumlin said at the time that the quarterback was “going through some things and didn’t feel well.” Sumlin addressed Allen’s departure for the first time on Wednesday, but did not specifically address the then-

rumors that Murray also wanted to leave. “He and his family got together and made a decision they thought was best for them,” Sumlin said in a story in the Houston Chronicle. “Obviously we didn’t agree with it. But this program is not about one person or one coach.” It’s unclear what caused Please see MURRAY | 13A

it would have been a “deal-breaker” because “what message would that send?” Smart, who will be a first-time head coach at Georgia after being on the Alabama staff since 2007, had a similar take. “It’s very important to me that I finish things the right way over there,” Smart said. “A lot of these young men playing for the University of Alabama, I sat in their homes three, four, five years ago and convinced them to come to the University of Alabama. And I don’t think it would be doing justice to turn and walk away from those kids.” There’s plenty to do, most importantly recruiting. But all four programs have been cooperative. There was no buyout clause in Smart’s Alabama contract to pre-

vent him from leaving. Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said letting him stay on with the Crimson Tide for now was the right thing to do. Alabama is preparing to face Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl on Dec. 31 with a spot in the national championship game on the line. Smart left to work at Georgia for a little more than a week then returned for the Crimson Tide bowl practices. “I know the professional integrity that Kirby has and the commitment that he has to our players as well as his new job,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “And I feel very comfortable that he’ll be able to manage that.” “And I think University of Georgia has been first class in how they’ve sort of handled this transition and helping us both be able to do this the way we’re going to do it.”

jors next year, but the focus this week isn’t on baseball activities. There has been some core strength and conditioning work and seminars about nutrition, financial planning and quality of life issues. “It gives us a chance to help build these guys as men and not just physical specimens,” Schuerholz said. Under president of baseball operations John Hart and new GM John Coppolella, the Braves have revamped the franchise over the last year by trading major leaguers for prospects. Two years after winning the NL East, Atlanta lost 95 games last season and could be even worse this year as the franchise leaves Turner Field in 2017 for a new suburban stadium. Sims has closely followed the overhaul as several

homegrown favorites — Craig Kimbrel, Jason Heyward, Andrelton Simmons, Alex Wood and Evan Gattis — were traded away. Coppolella has insisted that he’s not listening to offers for star first baseman Freddie Freeman, and it appears that No. 1 starter Julio Teheran is off limits, at least for now. But the Braves have clearly been rebuilt from the ground up. “For the fans, it might be hard to understand now,” Sims said, “but I truly believe there’s something special coming here.” The focus has been on pitching. Of top 10 prospects listed by MLB, seven are first-round picks and eight are pitchers. Left-hander Manny Banuelos, rated eighth-best among Braves, made six starts for Atlanta last year. He and Jenkins are on the 40-man roster.

the pair to leave the team, but the moves raise questions about whether there are problems between the coaching staff and the players. Top receiver Christian Kirk took to Twitter to voice his support for the school on Thursday. “I came to A&M because I love this town and University simple as that. This teams (sic) been through adversity before, we’ll be (all right) (hashtag) GigEm,” Kirk tweeted. Hubenak also was active on Twitter on Thursday evening, retweeting several tweets of support and tweeting: “S/O to

the 12th man for all the love and support! Now let’s go.” Allen, who is a sophomore, won the job in camp and started the first seven games for A&M before struggling with interceptions, including throwing three that were each returned for touchdowns in a loss to Alabama, and was benched after a defeat at Mississippi. Murray took over after that, starting the next three games and leading the Aggies to two wins in that span. But he also had problems with interceptions and Allen got his job back for Texas A&M’s final two games.

Chipper returning to Braves as special assistant The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Chipper Jones is returning to the Atlanta Braves in a front office position he describes as “dipping my toe back into the water.” The Braves announced Thursday that the eighttime All-Star has been hired as a special assistant to baseball operations. Jones will report to John Hart, the president of baseball operations, and general manager John Coppolella. His primary focus during the regular season will be helping Braves hitters. Jones retired as a player

following the 2012 season. He said he spent the last few years “decompressing” and reached the “undeniable conclusion” he wants to return to the game. “Because of what we are in the process of building for this city and our fan base, I am extremely excited to be dipping my toe back into the water that is Braves baseball,” Jones said in a statement released by the team. “I look forward to working with our players, as my passion for the art of hitting is something I hold near and dear to my heart.

“My hope is that I can be an ‘extra set of eyes’ on our players and help supplement an already strong baseball operations department and coaching staff. I am honored to be back working with the Braves.” The Braves said Jones will work as an instructor in spring training. He will also assist with amateur scouting leading up to the June draft, as well as some minor league player evaluation and instruction. “He brings a wealth of experience — from being a number one overall draft pick, to having a highly-

successful career as a World Series champion, a league MVP and a batting champion, to coming back from major injuries,” Coppolella said. “Chipper spent his entire Hall of Fame-caliber career in a Braves uniform and we look forward to his input with our staff and with our hitters.” Jones won the NL MVP award in 1999 and won the NL batting title with a .364 average in 2008. His 468 home runs are the third-highest total for a switch-hitter, behind Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504).

Good grief, Charles Schulz: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Peanutsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; still endures Almost 15 years have passed since Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz died at age 77, although it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like that long. However, Stacy every year Jones during the holiday The season, his Dowtowner memory is evoked when his half-hour television specials begin their annual run. The fall season is ushered in at Halloween, when â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brownâ&#x20AC;? airs. Originally broadcast October 27, 1966, the cartoon special has endured over four decades. The precursor to the winter holiday season happens, of course, when Schulzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Charlie Brown

Thanksgivingâ&#x20AC;? airs. Its debut occurred November 20, 1973. The winter holiday season begins in earnest when we get â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Charlie Brown Christmas,â&#x20AC;? which aired December 9, 1965, actually the first of the three shows mentioned to appear on television. When it first aired, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be born for another eight yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in November 1973â&#x20AC;&#x201D;so I am one of those youngsters who grew up watching it every year. What is it about Charles Schulz that has made him so enduring? His work was simple and good-hearted. His main character, known as Charlie Brown to all the gangâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;except Peppermint Patty, who calls him â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chuck,â&#x20AC;? and Marcie, who calls him the more formal â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlesâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;was supposedly based on his own

personal experience of feeling inadequate. The Peanuts gang includes a diverse range of characters that often harbor their own personal weaknesses and faults. Consider Linus, who never quite outgrows his â&#x20AC;&#x153;trusty blanket.â&#x20AC;? Consider Lucy, an extreme narcissist. Consider Pigpen, a walking dust storm. Charles Schulz was certainly progressive. I never thought about it when I was a child, but his inclusion of Franklin, a black character introduced to the strip in 1968, was quite radical in a society just on the brink of racial desegregation. Schulzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publisher told him he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;mind [him] having a black character, but please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show them in school together.â&#x20AC;? Charles Schulzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response was straightforward: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I finally sighed and said,

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, Larry, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put it this way: Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit, though, thankfully, for posterityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake. Although not everyone may be familiar with his work in comic strip format now, we still have those enduring holiday television classics. The standout, of course, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Charlie Brown Christmas.â&#x20AC;? Interestingly, the annual cartoon almost didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it. It was sponsored by the Coca-Cola Corporation after an ad agent saw the Peanuts gang featured on the cover of Time magazine and asked producer Lee Mendelson if a Peanuts Christmas special had been proposed. Television executives criticized it almost immediately for several reasons, primarily because it

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain the usual laugh track, employed actual children for the voices, featured contemporary jazz, and delivered a religious message. From the time it aired in 1965, however, the special was a hit with viewers and critics. Schulz said of it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will always be an audience for innocence in this country.â&#x20AC;? It is ironic that a show focusing on such an anti-commercial message originally included overt advertising at the end. Watch closely at the end to see the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singing fade, a segment later edited to cut the sponsorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brought to you by the people in your town who bottle Coca-Cola.â&#x20AC;? Some earlier versions of the ending still survive on YouTube. No matter. I still get a little misty every year just watching it, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not

sure if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the simplicity of the message, the sentimentality, or the sheer childhood nostalgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or perhaps a combination of all three. Although TV execs scoffed at first, what Linus says of the shabby little tree Charlie Brown chooses in the story might be said of the entire show: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never thought it was such a bad little tree. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a show that has received, over the years, plenty of fondness and will continue to be enjoyed by future generations.

Building emotional walls prevents connections Building mental and emotional walls is a common occurrence. We are used to living with physical walls so this progression is an easy Bryan transition.

There are a variety of reasons people build these virtual walls. They want to keep undesirable things out. They have a desire to prevent loss. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want someone to leave. Walls may create a feeling of security. They offer a sense of protection. Walls are constructed as a result of fear, uncertainty,

or vulnerability. There are those who put up walls as a show of power. Only select people are allowed to cross their boundaries. This process allows them to feel as if they wield power over others by deciding who to exclude. Some build walls to mark their territory. This approach mimics a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy of drawing an imaginary line around them in order to keep their siblings â&#x20AC;&#x153;off their side.â&#x20AC;? Walls may be in response to a sensitivity that one wants to avoid. The goal is to keep out any real or imagined emotional threats. It is an attempt to avoid repeating unpleasant experiences. Regardless of the reason for building virtual walls, their ultimate impact is to hold you back. Virtual walls are constraining, offering only an

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The groundbreaking Los Angeles rap act N.W.A. will join a quartet of 1970s era FM radio rockers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chicago, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple and Steve Miller â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as 2016 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. N.W.A., led by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, was elected after three unsuccessful nominations in a year when a movie about the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Straight Outta Compton,â&#x20AC;? was a box-office hit. Their hardcore tales of life on the street on songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;F-- the Policeâ&#x20AC;? made them a provocative chart presence in the late 1980s and influenced an empire of other acts. Both Miller and Cheap Trick made it during their

first year on the ballot. The induction ceremony for the Clevelandbased hall will be held April 8 in Brooklynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barclays Center. HBO will televise highlights later in the spring. Guitarist Miller came out of the San Francisco rock scene and became a dependable maker of pop hits like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take the Money and Run,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fly Like an Eagle,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jet Airlinerâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jungle Love.â&#x20AC;? Midwestern favorites Cheap Trick succeeded with a highly amped version of Beatles-influenced melodies on hits â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surrenderâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dream Police.â&#x20AC;? Their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live at Budokanâ&#x20AC;? album is one of rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-known live sets. Guitarist Rick Nielsen and rumpled drummer Bun E. Carlos gave them an indelible live presence.

Cheap Trick moved swiftly to capitalize on the honor, announcing Thursday they had signed a new deal with Taylor Swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s label, Big Machine Records. The band will release its 17th studio album a week before its induction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to all the fans who have supported us for all these years and to the Hall of Fame members who cast their votes,â&#x20AC;? said bass player Tom Petersson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited and honored.â&#x20AC;? The guitar riff for Deep Purpleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoke on the Waterâ&#x20AC;? remains one of the most recognizable in rock history. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was a stalwart in a hard rock act that competed with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath for the loyalty of metalheads. Before shortening its name from the Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago was known for its jazzrock fusion. The band had a string of pop hits including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday in the Park,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;25 or 6 to 4,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If You Leave Me Nowâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does Anyone Really Know What Time it Is?â&#x20AC;? More than 800 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation selected the inductees.

you are. Your character is based on your beliefs, attitudes, morals, and ethics. Your character can never be stolen or lost. Tearing down walls is scary because change is required. Learn from your past. Repeat actions that brought desired results while avoiding unsuccessful behavior. Correct bad decisions by making better ones. As your walls vanish, you will enjoy an amazing view that used to be obscured by your self-imposed banishment within your virtual walled prison.

Get over your fears by doing what you are afraid to do and going where you are afraid to go. Walls cannot keep out fear. You are in control of your emotions. You have no control over the actions of others, but you do have control over your response. You stay safe through the proactive management of your feelings. Walls will never ensure happiness. Utilize your strengths. Appreciate everything you have. Concentrate on abundance rather than worrying about what you think is lacking. You have more to be thankful for than you realize. Walls do prevent you from attracting positive elements into your life. Walls do not define who

Self-discipline is key to a successful walk with God O v e r the years I have been a procrastinator and in many opGary p o r t u n i Andrews ties I still am. This is Devotionals not something that I planned on doing but I have been in situations, that doesn’t require a solution immediately, and put off until tomorrow what I could have just as easily done today. The problems I have with some people are that they are just like me. I have witnessed first-

hand missed opportunities, missed deadlines, inaccurate reports, plus more, because of no selfdiscipline on my part or maybe someone that worked with me. There are many people like me who waits to the last minute to finish a task which they have known about for several days. It seems it takes a sense of urgency for them to accomplish what needs to be done and usually it comes a time when an extension is asked for because of lack of self-discipline. In my mind I feel I can do just about anything I set out to do. The problem is lack of proper planning, making time for

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday – Philippians 4:13; Monday – Titus 3:1-8; Tuesday – Numbers 23:19-20; Wednesday – Deuteronomy 20:5-9; Thursday – 1Timothy 6:11-19; Friday – Isaiah 3:10-11; Saturday – Ezekiel 18:24-27.) the project, and a desire to finish what I feel I can do. Many times I will start something and then when I realize I may not want to continue, I set the project aside and when this happens it remains unfinished for a long time or is never completed. All of us have some form of procrastination in our life, however the ones that are really self-

disciplined are the ones that are going to move forward quicker. All of us have to realize that the path to commitment is making up your mind and plan to succeed. This is true when it comes to Bible study and Worship attendance. There are many that say I am going to start reading my Bible tomorrow and tomorrow never arrives.

Many of us have dropped out of church because it so easy to stay home and watch television, go to family or social outings, fish, hunt, or just about any excuse will do. Then when we are asked about not following through we go through a period of anxiety, maybe self-denial, or just get mad. Proverbs 12:1 says, “Whoever loves disciplines loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.” How does this verse fit you? We need to realize that self-discipline begins with doing the small things daily. We need to use our free time constructively and

productively. You will always find the secret behind most success stories is discipline. Whatever we do in life we need to dedicate ourselves to that cause unless God changes our heart. Prayer: Thank you Lord for each and every day that you give me on this earth. I pray that I will discipline myself to see your will and follow your lead. Amen.
