After taking the oath of office on Tuesday, the freshman Republican senator from Corinth is focusing on the job ahead of her at the beginning of a historic session for the state legislature.

exciting time.” Parks is one of 15 new members in the 52-seat Senate, where the GOP picked up a 13-2 majority among Senate freshmen. The House is joined by 32 new members, with a 21-11 majority for the GOP. With the majority of votes Republicans can pass tax and revenue bills without the cooperation of any Democrats. According to Parks, the primary issue faced by the current
session’s lawmakers is the state budget. “I think first and foremost we need to make sure we all have a budget that is passable,” she said. The last of the state’s federal stimulus money was spent in 2011, and Mississippi legislators now face the challenge of finding a way to fund the state’s different entities and agencies without raising taxes. Some legislators see the consolidation of smaller state agencies as the
path to avoiding a budget deficit in 2012. Redistricting and education are the other two issues cited by Parks as top concerns in the new session. The November elections were held under old maps which do not accurately reflect the population shifts seen in the state during the past decade, with people moving from rural areas

The local poetry group will offer a workshop to help writers spark their imaginations on Saturday. Crossroads Poetry Project’s Speculative Poetry Workshop will be held from 10 a.m. until noon at the Corinth Public Library on Saturday. Local poet and writer Lee Ann Story Sikora will lead the workshop, which will teach about cultivating imagination through speculative poetry. “Speculative poetry is highly imaginative poetry, and the writing exercises conducted during the workshop should be good fun for fiction writers as well as poets,” explained Sikora. The workshop leader described speculative poetry as an increasingly popular genre of poetry that is not defined by form, but more for its elements of science fiction and fantasy. “It’s wholly imaginative — and really fun,” Sikora said. The program will start with a discussion of the meaning of speculative poetry followed by group contributions and individPlease see WRITERS | 2A
New year brings new chapter in life of attorney Arch Bullard BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
As a new chapter opens in the life of local attorney Arch Bullard, the story of his lifelong commitment to the law and public service remains the same. Bullard spent just over 15 years as an assistant district attorney in Corinth, handling cases primarily in Alcorn, Prentiss and Tishomingo counties. The beginning of the new year brought his departure from the district attorney’s office as a new administration took over and a move into a new area of legal practice. Bullard will now be working with Bill Davis in the Corinth office of the firm of Clayton O’Donnell, a large Northeast Mississippi law firm with a wide ranging focus on complex business and commercial litigation, civil cases and other work for corporations, municipalities, businesses and individuals. The attorney said he’s excited about the new challenges and opportunities
to be found in his new job and looking forward to continuing to serve people through the practice of law. “I’m really scared and excited and intrigued about the opportunity to enter a different area,” he said. In some ways, the move is a return to his roots. Early in his career, Bullard worked for two and a half years in a small firm in West Point doing a wide range of civil and criminal work. He then went on to serve as a clerk for U.S. District Judge L.V. Senter, where he was involved in a huge range of federal litigation. For this son of an attorney who also counts two of his siblings as fellow lawyers, the law is much more than a job, it’s been a lifelong calling and remains at the core of who he is. “I knew what I was going to do when I was 3 years old,” he said.

Alderman calls for unity Drug officers charge couple BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian. com
BOONEVILLE — A Booneville alderman is seeking unity following a recent dispute between the board and mayor. Ward 4 Alderman David Bolen told his fellow board members he was very disappointed about the message being conveyed to the community and to potential new residents and employers after the board’s most recent meeting in which the four other members of the board publicly threatened to cut Mayor Joe Eaton’s salary if communication between him and the board did not improve. Bolen said he was out of town attending a fam-
ily funeral in Georgia and was unable to attend the previous meeting. On the way back he began receiving phone calls from concerned citizens asking what was going on between the mayor and board. He said this was the first time he learned of the dispute and the discussion that occurred at that board meeting. He said he was very disappointed that he wasn’t alerted about what had transpired before receiving questions about it from people in the community. The alderman said there is a communication problem throughout society and the issue goes in all directions from the newest city employee to
the mayor and back the other way. Bolen said his greatest concern is the way this type of dispute looks to those on the outside and how it reflects on the city and its leadership. “We need to improve our image and improve our attitude. We need to present a positive, progressive attitude looking for places to work,” he said. Bolen said he believes the city’s leadership can make a significant impact on the community for good if they will come together and treat each other and everyone around them with respect. “This mayor and this board are very capable of being a positive influence,” he said.

and dealt with people created in him a desire to use the law as a means to care for others. “My dad instilled in me a really strong belief that a good lawyer helps people. You should be helping people whatever you’re doing,” he said. He believes the law is the core structure that holds society together and said the practice of law, no matter the area, is rooted in helping people navigate the laws and helping improve their lives. Bullard said he was also drawn to the law because he is a naturally scholarly person and the practice gives him a chance to study and learn about
not only legal matters but countless other areas he comes across during the course of working on cases. The lawyer said he’s so grateful for all those who have reached out to him and his family in the weeks since this transition in his life began. He’s received countless letters, phone calls and other messages of support from people throughout the area and it has meant so much to him. “It’s just been humbling for both me and my wife and my family,” he said. He’s thankful for the opportunity provided by Clayton O’Donnell that will allow him to stay in this area he now calls home and continue to practice.
“To leave here was going to be very difficult. We love it here. We’ve raised our children here. It was a relief to be able to go in with Bill Davis and to stay here in Corinth,” he said. Looking back on his years at the district attorney’s office, he said he’s most proud of the opportunities to help those struggling through some of the most difficult times of their lives and of the relationships he’s forged with area law enforcement as he’s worked with them to help keep the public safe. “I just can’t say enough about law enforcement and how hard they work. What a joy it’s been to partner with them,” he said.

PEARL — Mississippi’s emergency operations center was named Thursday for departing Gov. Haley Barbour, who said he is sharing the tribute with all those who respond to hurricanes, floods and other disasters in the state.

new lettering naming it the Haley R. Barbour Building. Legislators voted last year to name the MEMA building for Barbour, who leaves office next Tuesday. He had been in office just over a year and a half when Hurricane Katrina struck in August 2005, smashing across the Gulf Coast regions of Mississippi and Louisiana. Robert Latham, MEMA’s director during Katrina and the months that followed, said Barbour led Mississippi residents well through a difficult time. Barbour, in turn,
praised his wife Marsha for spending three months in the hard-hit region helping those leading a large-scale recovery effort. “It is the Haley and Marsha Barbour Center to me,” Barbour told those gathered. The state-of-the-art facility opened in 2006. Barbour said those who work in the building perform a critical service, recalling how they came to the aid of victims of last year’s Mississippi River flooding and a series of destructive tornadoes. “Those are the kind of people this building exists to help,” he said.
Hiring outlook encouraging in 2012 BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER WASHINGTON — The job market is looking a little brighter at the start of the new year. Weekly unemployment benefit applications have fallen to levels last seen more than three years ago. Holiday sales were solid. Service companies grew a little faster in December. And many small businesses say they plan to add jobs over the next three months. The mix of private and government data released Thursday sketched a picture of an economy that is slowly strengthening, stoking optimism one day ahead of the government’s important read on December job growth. “Businesses have increased hiring to meet the underlying pick-up in (consumer) demand,”
said Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The encouraging reports on the U.S. economy gave Wall Street a late-day lift, offsetting renewed concerns over Europe’s debt crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average, which had fallen by as much as 134 points at one point in the day, closed down just 3 points. Broader indexes posted modest gains. Weekly applications for unemployment benefits dropped to a seasonally adjusted 372,000 last week, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s 11 percent lower than the same time last year. Almost the entire descent occurred this fall. Applications had fluctuated sharply over the first nine months of 2011, falling as low as 375,000 and
rising as high as 478,000. By early September, they were at 432,000 — only 5,000 below where they began the year. Since then, applications have declined steadily. That has pushed the four-week average, which smooths fluctuations, to 373,250 — the lowest level since June 2008. When applications drop below 375,000 — consistently — they generally signal that hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate. U.S. service firms, which employ roughly 90 percent of the work force, grew a little faster in December, according to the Institute for Supply Management.

— primary or secondary schools that receive public money but are not subject to some of the rules and statutes applied to public schools. Supporters of charter schools believe they will give struggling students in low-performing districts better education options. Opponents say charter schools are a way of giving up on low-per-

Mayor to be asked to resign over spending ward with infrastructure projects. When the Mississippi auditor’s office ordered Davis to pay back the money in November 2011, the agency said it had been investigating his expenses for seven months. He was told to repay $153,589 for expenses, $16,822 for interest and $13,571 for investigative costs. The FBI confirmed Dec. 7 that it had opened a criminal investigation. Davis declined to discuss the matter when contracted by AP last month, saying his attorney had told him not to talk. But he told The Commercial Appeal he doesn’t remember what he bought at the sex shop, which he visited on a recruitment trip with warehouse developers. Davis is in his fourth term as mayor of South-

JACKSON — Leaders of an affluent northern Mississippi suburb are expected to vote Friday on a resolution asking the mayor to resign over allegations that he misspent thousands of taxpayer dollars, including some at a gay sex shop in Canada. Southaven Mayor Greg Davis has come under increasing scrutiny since November when Mississippi Auditor Stacey Pickering told him to pay back about $170,000 for allegedly improper billings, including travel, stress counseling and food and liquor. The auditor’s office has said one such bill was for $67 at Priape, described on its website as “Canada’s premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop.” Davis is a Republican who ran for Congress in 2008 on a conservative platform. After news of the spending was revealed, he admitted he was gay and that he and his wife had divorced. Some of the money Davis was ordered to repay went to counseling for him and his family. Southaven Alderman Ronnie Hale told The Associated Press that members of the board planned to vote during a special meeting Friday on a resolution asking Davis to resign. Hale said he and two other aldermen asked for
the resolution to be put on the agenda, but he expects a majority vote from the seven-member board. Hale said state law doesn’t allow the board to force Davis out of office, but the resolution will ask him to step down in the best interest of the city. “It’s nothing personal. We’re not ever going to try to take away from his accomplishments. We just feel that in the interest of the city we need someone else to be in charge,” Hale said. Davis didn’t immediately respond to a message left Thursday on his cellphone voicemail. Hale said the Mississippi Department of Transportation has withheld $800,000 in grants because of investigations into the spending and the city needs to move for-

New legislation: Doing job for which they were elected In a few short days new and veteran lawmakers of the Great State of Mississippi will head to the Capitol with a new governor, lieutenant governor and, most obviously, a different political party in the majority. Big changes? Probably not. The governorelect, Phil Bryant, cut his political teeth on the political coattails of the outgoing, strong, aggressive Gov. Haley Barbour. The lieutenant governor-elect has been in Jackson and state government for most of his career. Neither is expected to change dramatically his style just because he has a new title. The greatest potential for change is in the lawmaking body. For the first time in more than 100 years, the majority of the 122 members of the House of Representatives will be registered with the Republican Party instead of the Democratic Party. We say party-shmarty. We say the job of legislating is about doing the right thing, be it for the voters, their children or their children’s children and being as responsible as possible to carry out the wishes of the constituencies. The last Legislature — the 122 representatives and the 52 members of the upper body, the Senate — could not make a decision on redrawing the state’s legislative lines that determine the makeup of the bodies. That failure to act has been and will be costly. It’s costing money to prepare information for potential litigation, it’s costing money for elections that probably will be scheduled next year to pick lawmakers for the new districts — had the lines been drawn earlier, the voting along the new lines could have come in the just-completed election season — and, most importantly, it is costing faith Mississippians could have had in the legislators. Had they acted with the efficiency and timeliness expected by voters, the party-affiliation makeup might not have been so different from the last Legislature’s. Lawmakers, there’s your sign. Get in there, cut through the layers of politics, refuse to be swayed by your own wishes. Do the job for which you were elected. Draw the lines, and then get on with taking care of this great state of Mississippi. — The Vicksburg Post

Innocent or interfering in nations’ affairs? Last Friday’s lead stories in The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal dealt with what both viewed as a national affront and outrage. Egyptian soldiers, said the Post, “stormed the offices” of three U.S. “democracy-building organizations ... in a dramatic escalation of a crackdown by the military-led government that could imperil its relations with the United States.” The organizations: Freedom House, the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute. Cairo contends that $65 million in “pro-democracy” funding that IRI, NDI and Freedom House received for use in Egypt constitutes “illegal foreign funding” to influence their elections. “A Provocation in Egypt,” raged the Post. An incensed Freedom House President David Kramer said the raids reveal that Egypt’s military “has no intention of allowing the establishment of genuine democracy.” Leon Panetta phoned the head of the military regime. With $1.3 billion in U.S. military aid on the line, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi backed down. The raids will stop. Yet this is not the first time U.S. “pro-democracy” groups have been charged with subverting regimes
that fail to toe the Washington line. In December, Vladimir Putin Pat claimed that Buchanan h u n d r e d s of millions Columnist of dollars, mostly from U.S. sources, was funneled into his country to influence the recent election, and that Hillary Clinton’s denunciation of the results was a signal for anti-Putin demonstrators to take to Moscow’s streets. In December also, a top Chinese official charged U.S. Consul General Stephen Young in Hong Kong with trying to spread disorder. Beijing, added the Post, has been “jittery following this year’s Arab Spring and calls on the Internet for the Chinese to follow suit with a ‘jasmine revolution.’” The Jasmine Revolution was the uprising that forced Tunisia’s dictator to flee at the outset of the Arab Spring. Yet one need not be an acolyte of the Egyptian, Chinese or Russian regimes to wonder if, perhaps, based on history, they do not have a point. Does the United States interfere in the internal affairs of nations to subvert regimes by using NGOs to funnel cash to the opposi-
tion to foment uprisings or affect elections? Are we using Cold War methods on countries with which we are not at war -- to advance our New World Order? So it would seem. For, repeatedly, Freedom House, IRI and NDI have been identified as instigators of color-coded revolutions to replace autocrats with proAmerican “democrats.” Ukraine’s Orange Revolution was marked by mass demonstrations in Kiev to overturn the election of a pro-Russian leader and bring about his replacement by a pro-Western politician who sought to move his country into NATO. The Orange Revolution first succeeded, but then failed. A U.S.-engineered Rose Revolution in 2002 overthrew President Eduard Shevardnadze of Georgia and brought about his replacement by Mikheil Saakashvili, who then invaded South Ossetia, to be expelled by the Russian Army. Following the assassination of ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, a Cedar Revolution, featuring massive demonstrations in Beirut against Syria, effected the withdrawal of its occupation army from Lebanon. In Belarus, however, marches on parliament failed to overturn an election that returned Alexander Lukashenko to power.
The Tulip Revolution brought about the overthrow of President Askar Akayev in Kyrgyzstan. But that, too, did not turn out as well as we hoped. When one considers the long record of U.S. intervention in nations far from our borders, that an ex-chairman of Freedom House is the former CIA Director James Woolsey, that the longtime chairman of IRI is the compulsive interventionist John McCain, who has been trading insults with Putin, and that Kenneth Wollack, president of NDI, was once director of legislative affairs for the Israeli lobby AIPAC, it is hard to believe we are clean as a hound’s tooth of the charges being leveled against us, no matter how suspect the source. And if we are intervening in Egypt to bring about the defeat of the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis, and the Islamists win as they are winning today, what do we expect the blowback to be? Would we want foreigners funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into our election of 2012? How would Andrew Jackson have reacted if he caught British agents doing here what we do all over the world? (Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)
‘Stupid is the new smart’ in America A friend of mine hands me what looks like a business card. It says, “Don’t Die Stupid.” As America begins another round of voting to select the next president, or retain the current one, what we need is a stupid test. Flunk it and you shouldn’t vote. Evidence of the dumbingdown of America is everywhere. Some of it is chronicled in a new book, “Blue Collar Intellectuals: When the Enlightened and the Everyman Elevated America” by Daniel J. Flynn. Flynn contends popular culture has divorced itself from the life of the mind. He has plenty of examples in case television, texting, video games and improper use of English (“she was like and then I was like”) are not enough. Flynn calls the digital age “Idiotville,” because it has made us less intelligent. “Stupid is the new smart,” writes Flynn. He says we arrived at this lower level of brain activity because as recently as the last century “the everyman aspired to high culture and ... intellectuals

descended from the ivory tower to speak to the everyman.” Today, he says, “Those Cal who pursue Thomas the life of the mind have Columnist insulated themselves from popular culture. Speaking in insider jargon and writing unread books, intellectuals have locked themselves away in a ghetto of their own creation.” That has left the nonintellectual class to fend for itself. One library in Portland, Me., rather than leading, is being led by the unformed teenage mind. “Video gaming is just a new form of literacy,” says the “teen librarian.” Flynn quotes from Steven Johnson’s book, “Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today’s Popular Culture is Actually Making Us Smarter.” Sure, and sugar makes us slimmer. Johnson says, “Reality shows ... challenge our
emotional intelligence.” Emotional intelligence? In an age when feelings trump everything and too many reality TV programs feature well-heeled housewives and love-starved bachelors, “emotional intelligence” is a contradiction. Here’s a potent example of what Flynn means when he writes about the destruction of our minds: “At the tony Cushing Academy in western Massachusetts, $40,000 in tuition doesn’t even get you a library anymore. ‘When I look at books, I see an outdated technology, like scrolls before books,’ the prep school’s headmaster notes, adding, ‘This isn’t ‘Fahrenheit 451.’” “It is, and ‘1984,’ too,” comments Flynn. “In place of the twenty thousand discarded books, the school spent $500,000 on an Orwellian ‘learning center’ complete with three giant flat-screen televisions and a cappuccino machine. School officials guessed that only a few dozen books had been checked out at any one time.” The solution? Get rid of

the books. Don’t get kids interested in books when they’d rather play “World of Warcraft,” or if younger, watch cartoons, which can’t be that different from “The Canterbury Tales,” right? Our intellectual depth increasingly resembles floor wax; shiny on top, but lacking depth. A muscle atrophies if it is not used. Similarly, a mind becomes lazy if it is not well fed. And a weak mind dumbs-down our politics. We elect people we come to dislike because too many of us require no more of them than we require of ourselves. In Iowa this week, followed by New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida, Republican voters began the process of selecting a presidential nominee. It’s not that sufficient information about the problems confronting us are not available. It’s just that we’re not reading much about them. Like, ya know, man, that’s just the way it is. Like, ya know what I’m sayin’? (Readers may e-mail Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.)

State Lawsuit claims hazing on ballteam State swearing BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press
JACKSON — Members of a south Mississippi high school baseball team participated in a hazing ritual that left one teenager hospitalized after being held from behind and punched in the chest, according to a lawsuit filed by the player’s parents. The lawsuit claims that for at least two years, older baseball players at Picayune Memorial High School have routinely singled out younger, smaller players and punched them “violently in the chest” before games. The lawsuit was filed by Jeffrey Dixon Sr. and Amy Dixon, parents of 15-yearold Jeffrey Dixon Jr. The suit says the boy suffered a seizure and was hospitalized in April 2011, allegedly after a hazing ritual before Picayune Memorial played a home game against Lumberton High School. Named as defendants by the lawsuit are the Picayune School District, baseball coach Cayne Stockstill, three team members identified only with initials and 10 John Does. The lawsuit was originally filed Nov. 22 in Pearl River County Cir-
cuit Court, but the school district filed motions in late December to have it moved to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The school district’s filing said, among other things, the plaintiffs’ claims invoke questions of federal law. Picayune is a city of about 10,800 in Pearl River County, about 50 miles northeast of New Orleans. Like many small towns in the South, it’s a place where high school sports is king. The Picayune High football team won the Class 5A state championship this past year. The baseball team has a history of high-caliber play, and won the state championship in 2002. That year the Maroon Tide was ranked No. 4 in USA Today’s national poll. Kent Kirkland, the school’s current principal, was the baseball coach when Stockstill was a student and player in the 1990s. Stockstill then served as Kirkland’s assistant coach before taking over when Kirkland became principal. Brenda Long, the lawyer representing the school district and Stockstill, said
she had only recently become involved in the case and would not comment. Brent Harrell, an assistant superintendent, said Thursday that because of the pending litigation, he could not discuss the allegations in the lawsuit or whether hazing has occurred at the school. However, in a routine legal paper commonly filed in response to lawsuits in federal court, the district denied the allegations. Neither the Dixons nor their attorney, Damon Carpenter, would comment on the lawsuit. But according to the complaint, one of the players singled out Dixon Jr., who was then a freshman, and urged others to assault him. Another teen allegedly held the boy’s arms behind his back while a third player punched him in the chest. The parents claim the punch happened when the players were huddled together in a circle on the field, but was so hard it could be heard in the stands. They said they saw the boy fall after a group of players scattered when their son was in convulsions. The boy also suf-
fered cuts to his face when he fell, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit also claims that rather than concentrating on the injured player before he was taken to a hospital, the coach “instead consoled his starting pitcher ... who had been the perpetrator of the vicious assault.” The boy was taken to Ochsner North Shore Hospital in Slidell, La., and treated for the seizure, facial lacerations and a chest injury. He also needed follow-up medical treatment, the lawsuit said. The pitcher went on to play for the team in the remaining games, but the Dixons’ suit says their son finished the school year at home and then changed schools due to the “hostile environment.” The lawsuit charges gross negligence, assault and battery, infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, conspiracy, civil rights violations and negligent supervision. It seeks unspecified damages. The civil rights allegation claims the coach and the school district failed to use their positions of authority to stop ongoing abuse.
Teen charged in drive-by shooting murder Associated Press
HOLLY SPRINGS — A Tennessee teenager has been charged with murder as an adult in the Christmas Day driveby shooting death of a Memphis girl in Marshall County, Miss. Sheriff Kenny Dicker-
son said the 16-year-old appeared Wednesday in justice court in Marshall County. The teen is charged with one count of murder and four counts of drive-by shooting in the death of Derica Patterson. Justice Court Judge

been released. Corey Albright of Rossville, Tenn., is being held on one count of murder and five counts of driveby shooting. Rico R. Fleming of Rossville, Tenn., is still at large and is considered armed and dangerous.
in 7 of 8 officials Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi inaugurates seven of its eight statewide elected officials today — everyone except the new governor. A swearing-in ceremony is set for 2 p.m. Thursday in the House chamber for Tate Reeves as lieutenant governor, Jim Hood as attorney general, Delbert Hosemann as secretary of state, Lynn Fitch as treasurer, Stacey Pickering as auditor, Cindy Hyde-Smith as agriculture commissioner and Mike Chaney as insurance commissioner. Hood is starting his third term and is the only Democrat. The others are Republicans. Reeves, Fitch and Hyde-Smith are new to their jobs. Hosemann, Pickering and Chaney are beginning second terms. Republican Gov.elect Phil Bryant takes his oath of office at noon Tuesday. At a prayer celebration Thursday at Galloway United Methodist Church in downtown Jackson, ministers from several faiths called on the officials to show strength and unity in working together for the people of Mississippi. “My prayer for you is that you will work together even when it is difficult ... even when the temptation is to go
it alone,” said the Rev. Mike O’Brien of Saint Richard Catholic Church in Jackson. The prayer celebration was hosted by the Federation of Republican Women. Statewide elected officials and their families attended, except for Reeves who had an earlier prayer breakfast and Bryant who was at the Capitol. The ministers urged officials to pray together, work together and build the future of Mississippi together. “My promise is to pray for you often and in earnest ... as you lead our state,”’ said Randy Turner, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Laurel. Jim Genesse, senior pastor at Madison United Methodist Church in Madison, urged officials to be unified in their goals and deeds. “You are all united in serving the people of Mississippi. What unites you will be stronger than those things that tend to divide you,” he said.

Jan. 4 birthday runs in the family Associated Press
TOLEDO, Ohio — Jan. 4 birthdays have been running in one Ohio family for four generations. Richard Stiff of the Toledo area turned 65 on Wednesday. The day is also the 34th birthday of his daughter, Julia Gonyer, and it’s the first birth-
day of Gonyer’s daughter, Kourtney. The string began with Stiff’s late father, Marshall Stiff, who was born on Jan. 4, 1924. The Blade newspaper reports that some people can’t believe it when they learn about all the birthdays on the same day in
one family. Others have said it’s kind of creepy. All four family members arrived on Jan. 4 through unscheduled, natural births. The birthdays have traditionally been celebrated with one cake and one singing of “Happy Birthday.”

Obama vows U.S. will stay world’s top military power BY ROBERT BURNS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama vowed Thursday the United States will remain the world’s pre-eminent military power even as the Pentagon scales back spending, shrinks the Army and Marine Corps and pulls back from Europe. In a rare appearance at the Pentagon, Obama said the U.S. is “turning a page” after having killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, withdrawn troops from Iraq and begun to wind down the war in Afghanistan. He outlined a vision for the future that would ensure an uncompromised U.S. military strength operating with less money. “Our military will be leaner, but the world must know the United States is going to maintain our military superiority,” Obama said, with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey at his side. Obama said his administration would not repeat the mistakes made after World War II and Vietnam when defense reductions left the military illprepared. “As commander in chief, I will not let that happen again,” he said. “Not on my watch.” Both Panetta and Dempsey said they anticipate heavy criticism of their new strategy, which is meant to guide future defense budgets, including the 2013 spending plan that Obama will submit to Congress in February. The criticism from Republicans came quickly. Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services, issued a statement saying, “This is a lead-from-behind strategy for a left-behind America.” He called it a “retreat from the world in the guise of a new strategy.” Dempsey praised the strategy and the work of crafting it, calling it inclusive and comprehensive. “It’s not perfect,” the general said. “There will
“It’s not perfect. There will be people who think it goes too far. Others will say it doesn’t go nearly far enough. That probably makes it about right. It gives us what we need.” Gen. Martin Dempsey Chairman of the Joint Chiefs be people who think it goes too far. Others will say it doesn’t go nearly far enough. That probably makes it about right. It gives us what we need.” Obama said the strategy overhaul is designed to contend with hundreds of billions of dollars in budget cuts and refocus the United States’ national security priorities after a decade dominated by the post.-Sept. 11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The strategy, devised through a comprehensive review by civilian and military leaders, centered on the military the country needs after the “long wars of the last decade are over,” Obama said. Panetta said that smaller military budgets will mean some trade-offs and that the U.S. will take on “some level of additional but acceptable risk.” But Panetta said that at this point in history, in a changing world, the Pentagon would have been forced to make a strategy shift anyway. He says the money crisis merely forced the government’s hand. The president announced that the military will be reshaped over time with an emphasis on countering terrorism, maintaining a nuclear deterrent, protecting the U.S. homeland, and “deterring and defeating aggression by any potential adversary.” Those are not new military missions, and Obama announced no new capabilities or defense initiatives. He described a U.S. force that will retain much of its recent focus, with the exception of fighting a large-scale, prolonged conflict like the newly ended Iraq mission or the ongoing war in Afghanistan. “As we end today’s wars and reshape our armed forces, we will ensure that our military is agile, flexible and ready for the

full range of contingencies,” the president wrote in a preamble to the new strategy, entitled, “Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense.” The strategy strongly suggests a reduced U.S. military presence in Europe, notwithstanding a continuing close relationship with NATO, and says Asia will be a bigger priority. It also emphasizes improving U.S. capabilities in the areas of cyberwarfare, missile defense, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Obama’s decision to announce the strategy himself underscores the political dimension of Washington’s debate over defense cuts. The administration says smaller Pentagon budgets are a must but will not come at the cost of sapping the strength of a military in transition, even as it gets smaller. In a presidential election year, the strategy gives Obama a rhetorical tool to defend his Pentagon budget-cutting choices. Republican contenders for the White House already have criticized him on a wide range of national security issues, including missile defense, Iran and planned reductions in ground forces. Obama also wants the new strategy to represent a pivotal point in his stewardship of defense policy, which has been burdened throughout his presidency by the wars he inherited and the drag these conflicts have placed on military resources. The new strategy moves the U.S. further from its longstanding goal of being able to successfully fight two major regional wars — like the 1991 Gulf War to evict Iraqi forces from Kuwait or a theoretical ground war in Korea — at the same time.
Oil lobbyist seeks OK for Pipeline Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The oil industry’s top lobbyist warned the Obama administration Wednesday to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline or face “huge political consequences” in an election year. Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, said it would be a “huge mistake” for President Barack Obama to reject the 1,700-mile, Canada-to-Texas pipeline. Obama faces a Feb. 21 deadline to decide whether the $7 billion pipeline is in the national interest. “Clearly, the Keystone XL pipeline is in the national interest,” Gerard said at the trade association’s annual “State of American Energy” event. “A determination to decide anything less than that I believe will have huge political consequences.” Gerard said the oil group has teamed up with at least 15 unions to support the pipeline, which would create thousands of jobs. “We will stand shoulder to shoulder” with labor unions that have backed the pipeline, including the Teamsters and the AFLCIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department, Gerard said. “Over the next 60 days, they will not be silent,” he said.

Marathon stumbles
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been six months since Marathon Oil split into two companies. It kept its drilling and exploring operations under the Marathon Oil name and spun off its refining business to a new company, Marathon Petroleum. Neither has lived up to expectations. But financial analysts have hopes for Marathon Oil.
TALE OF THE TICKER How the two Marathon companies have done since the July 1 split of Marathon Oil:

Marathon Oil
*Based on results reported by Marathon Oil before the split

Marathon Petroleum had an advantage over competitors because it refines crude oil produced onshore in North America. That oil is cheaper than crude found offshore. In November, though, two Canadian pipeline companies said they would send more onshore oil to competing refineries on the coasts. That shrank Marathon Petroleumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost advantage. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock fell 12 percent in one day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down 14 percent since the split. Marathon Oil hoped investors would be willing to pay more for its stock now that it is just an exploration and production company. But they believe Marathon paid too much for access to the oil and natural gas in the Eagle Ford shale in Texas. And production at its Droshky project in the Gulf of Mexico has been disappointing. The stock is down 2 percent since the split. Still, analysts say Marathon Oil has promising oil fields around the world and it pays a good dividend for an exploration company. Analysts still think splitting was a good idea, and they expect Marathon Oil to deliver good returns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These things take time to win out,â&#x20AC;? says Phil Weiss of Argus Research.

Marathonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s split was part of an trend in the oil industry. ConocoPhillips also plans to split in two. Refining has become a low-profit business with dim prospects for growth because demand for gasoline is falling in the U.S. Demand is down 5 percent since 2007. Many investors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want their returns from oil and exploration diluted by refining.
A variety of reports have pointed to an improvement in the economy in late 2011. Economists and investors will want to hear what Federal Reserve Governor Elizabeth Duke has to say about the outlook for 2012. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll speak to the Virginia Bankers Association about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Economic and Housing Market Developments.â&#x20AC;? The Fed begins a two-day meeting on the economy on Jan. 24.

How is Germany holding up? The German government is expected to report that orders to the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s factories fell 1.6 percent in November from Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levels. Germany is Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest economy, but it is being hurt by the debt crisis that has hit countries including Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy. There are fears that the region might fall into a recession that could slow economic growth in the U.S.

Corinth knocks off top seed BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The fourth time proved to be the charm for the fourth seed. Facing Kossuth for the fourth straight year at the Alcorn County Tournament, Corinth had four chances the final 14 seconds to pull off the upset. Erin Frazier did just that converting Corinth’s third straight offensive rebound and sending the Lady Warriors to the championship game for a third straight year with a 39-37 decision over
top-ranked Kossuth. Thursday’s upset marked just the fourth time out of 16 matchups that the No. 4 seed knocked off a No. 1. Ironically, the Lady Warriors were the last to accomplish the feat behind a 39-38 decision over Biggersville in 2010. Corinth (5-10) will make just its seventh appearance in the title game since the program was revived in 1974-75 on Saturday. The Lady Warriors, just 1-5 in the previous six title matches will face the winner of tonight’s Alcorn Central-Biggersville contest.
CHS trailed by 11 points twice in the first half, the latter following an Annaleigh Coleman bucket with 2:26 remaining. Inside deuces by Stennett Smith and Aspen Stricklen cut Kossuth’s lead to 20-14 at the break. Corinth took control in the third, building a six-point lead at the 1:28 mark behind a 15-2 spurt. Held scoreless in the first half, Frazier hit for six in the spurt. Kossuth (9-4) saw the disadvantage reach five early in the fourth. But an 8-1 run keyed by three points from
Coleman and another trio by Parrish Tice gave the Lady Aggies a 33-31 lead with 4:47 remaining. Frazier, who scored all 12 of her points in the second half, tied the contest at 33 with a putback on Corinth’s third straight offensive rebound of the possession. The see-saw affair began. Coleman hit Tice for a layup off a length-of-the-court pass, then hit one of two from the stripe to put KHS on top 36-34 with 2:58 left. Please see CORINTH | 2B

After breaking open a 7-7 tie with an 18-3 run, the only question was if Eric Richardson would play long enough to record his first career triple double. Richardson finished with a game-high 23 points to go along with eight rebounds and eight assists as Corinth rolled into its 47th ACT championship game since 1950 with an 85-54 win over Kossuth. Corinth (13-2) will go for its sixth straight title and 47th in 63 years on Saturday. The top seed will face the winner of tonight’s Alcorn CentralBiggersville matchup. Central beat the Lions in their only other meeting this season. The No. 2 Lions knocked off Corinth in the season opener for both, marking BHS’ first win over Corinth in over a decade.
Kossuth, which also opened the ACT against Corinth the previous two campaigns, was tied with the Warriors midway of the first. Corinth scored 18 of the last 21 points of the quarter, 10 by Deione Weeks and six by Richardson, who had 10 total in the frame. Richardson and Desmin Harris, who had a career-high 14, combined for 10 in the second. Kossuth was able to battle the Warriors to an 1818 draw in the frame thanks to 12 points by Heath Wood. Corinth added to a 43-28 halftime advantage with a 27-point third. Richardson, who was 5-of-8 from long range, hit a pair of extra-point buckets to go along with a conventional one. Kossuth (2-11) matched Corinth’s 15-point effort in the fourth to keep the final margin at 31.
Corinth finished 37-of-63 from the floor, 8-of-17 from three-point range, with 37 rebounds and 12 turnovers. Wood paced Kossuth with a season-high-tying 21. He was the only Aggie in double figures. Kossuth was 20-of-49 overall and 4-of-7 from deep. KHS pulled down 24 rebounds and turned the ball over 17 times.

Corinth tied it on a putback by Teosha Boyd with 2:19 remaining -- CHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fifth bucket via second chance -- then Kossuth got careless with the orange. Rachel Winters had a pass stolen -- KHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third straight turnover and 28th of the game -- then committed her second intentional foul of the night, giving CHS two free throws and the ball. With 23 seconds showing, Sadie Johnson hit one of two to put Corinth on top 37-36. Coleman came away with a steal on the ensuing possession, then promptly tied the game at 37 with 18 seconds left with a 1-of-2 showing from the stripe after getting hacked. Another careless Kossuth foul put Audrianna Green at the line for two shots with 14 seconds remaining. The senior missed both, but Corinth gained the rebound and got off two more point-blank shots before Frazier stuck in the winning bucket with 8 seconds left. Kossuthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last chance ended on their 31st turnover of the night on the ensuing inbound pass. Corinth held a 38-25 advantage on the boards, headlined by Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 -- 10 coming on the defensive end. Coleman paced Kossuth with 16 points.
Slive sees discussion on plus-1 Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive says he expects â&#x20AC;&#x153;meaningful discussions about possible changes to the BCSâ&#x20AC;? in the coming months, including about making it a four-team playoff. Slive said Thursday he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;reserve judgmentâ&#x20AC;? about the nature of the change. The commissioner pushed for the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;plus-one modelâ&#x20AC;? in 2008, but there was not enough support for it among the other conference commissioners. He says this time around heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested to hear his colleaguesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideas. SEC rivals LSU and Alabama play Monday in the first BCS title game involving two teams from the same league. The matchup guarantees the SEC a sixth straight BCS title. Slive says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominance has led to an increased desire for changes to the BCS among college football leaders.

LSU looks for lead from defensive secondary BY DAVE SKRETTA Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Morris Claiborne came to LSU to play wide receiver. Tyrann Mathieu just wanted a chance to play. Together they form one of the best defensive backfields in college football. Claiborne has flourished into a Thorpe Award winner and likely top-10 draft pick after finally moving to the other side of the ball, while the pint-sized Mathieu has emerged as one of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dynamic playmakers, winning the Bednarik Award and earning an invita-
tion to the Heisman Trophy ceremony. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also a big reason LSU is playing for another national title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those guys can play football all the way around,â&#x20AC;? said Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, whose job it will be to figure out a way of beating them in the BCS title game Monday. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare so well against â&#x20AC;&#x153;MoMoâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honey Badgerâ&#x20AC;? the last time they met. The pair combined for eight tackles and an interception last November, holding McCarron to 199 yards passing in No. 1
LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9-6 overtime victory over second-ranked Alabama. Claiborne and Mathieu provide the energy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the pulse, if you will â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for an aggressive, pinthe-ears-back defense that created 30 turnovers and ranked in the top five nationally in scoring defense, rush defense, pass efficiency defense and total defense during the season. Along the way, they became the first set of teammates to lock down both spots on the APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-America first team. LSU has established a tradition of shutdown defensive backs, only twice in the past
nine years failing to send one to the NFL. That includes a pair of first-round selections: Peterson last season and free safety LaRon Landry in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people say when we lost Pat, those were some pretty big shoes to fill, and they are, but we just thrived on working,â&#x20AC;? Claiborne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before he left, he had us working every day, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop because he left. We kept working.â&#x20AC;? Together, LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive backs have accounted for eight touchdowns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two more than opponents had passing against the Tigers all season.

MUW interim president reflects on service BY NERISSA YOUNG The Commercial Dispatch
COLUMBUS — It was her time. Mississippi University for Women and its alumni had warred in court, and seemingly ever-present talks of closure and a name change hung over the historic campus like a humid August day by the time Allegra Brigham was asked to take the helm of her beloved alma mater. “You are the perfect person for this time in MUW’s history,” the person on the other end of the phone said. Brigham already had a successful career as CEO of 4-County Electric Power Association; she wasn’t planning to retire just then. But there was the phone call -- made to a woman who had fallen in love with The W and her future husband when she stepped on campus the first time. Calling her life blessed, Brigham said jobs have found her rather than the other way around. And in May 2010, the state College Board named her interim president of MUW, a move she
never thought of before that call. Influences on her management style Brigham, 63, grew up on a family farm in Arcola. Her father is a retired farmer-cum-politician, and her mother shows the characteristics the daughter would take on -- the ability to multitask by working alongside her husband, managing a home and raising a family. Her personal history influenced her most, said Brigham, clad in a denim jacket, Carhartt jeans and round-toed brown cowgirl boots. From her parents and from the farm, she learned leadership and a hard work ethic. As a woman working in male-dominated offices, Brigham learned management skills from those around her. But history offered a role model, too. Abraham Lincoln taught her a great lesson in appointing his political opponents to his cabinet. It’s good to have people who think for themselves and can give and take in a team environment, she said. “Keep your friends close
“We must raise more privatesector dollars, get more grants. We’ve got to create a culture of giving among our alumni.” Allegra Brigham Mississippi University for Women interim president and your enemies closer,” she said without blinking. “I like heated discussions. I like arguments.” Healthy discussion puts the variables on the table; better decisions are made, she said, adding, “I like being challenged to think critically.” She took the job and moved into the president’s home. It was important to “leave the lights on,” she said, and to keep the president’s home the center of life on the campus. Job 1 was mending the relationship between alumni who had been disenfranchised by former President Claudia Limbert. And Brigham said she started that job in her first public speech as The W’s president -- with an apology. “Somebody had to take
that first step,” she said. That step marked what she considers her most frustrating part of the job and what may be her legacy. The alumni groups merged and presented a unified front when Dr. Jim Borsig was named the new president of The W last month. The alumni are still working through the process of a full merger. That unity, Brigham said, was integral to keeping The W vital and bringing in a man of Borsig’s caliber. And the alumni are key to the university’s survival, Brigham said. State funding for the public university that feels like a private one was less than 50 percent of the budget last year. Her long-term vision for The W is sound financial footing. “We must raise more
private-sector dollars, get more grants,” she said. “We’ve got to create a culture of giving among our alumni.” She pointed to The W’s significance to Columbus and the Golden Triangle. It means more than 300 jobs, dedicated students and employees and 23 campus buildings on the National Historic Register. “We need to take that institution a whole lot more seriously,” she said. And Brigham believes Borsig will do that. He has the legislative, financial and academic needs of the campus in hand, she noted. His challenge, she said, will be learning the people. Brigham said he’s already working on that, and her advice to him is to keep the lines of communication open. Brigham hopes her presidency will be remembered for reunification of the alumni groups. “I think only time will tell,” she said of her legacy at The W. “And I hope time will be kind.” As for this second retirement, Brigham is still trying to figure out what
she wants to do when she grows up. For now, she will fish, hunt and catch up on her reading. Should politics call, she said, that is one phone she will not answer. Her husband, Bill, will take office next month on the Lowndes County Board of Supervisors. “One in a household is enough,” she said. Brigham has volunteered to help The W in any way she can, but she said nothing is concrete. As for who had the greatest effect on her at The W, Brigham did not hesitate. It was the students. She enjoyed working and playing with them. That, she said, was a fun part of the job. She often walked around campus introducing herself to students and chatting them up in the cafeteria. Occasionally, a student would offer a “Dr. Brigham” when speaking to her. “Allegra is sufficient,” she’d tell them. Brigham leaves behind a university community whose people think Allegra was more than sufficient.
Ordinances were passed during post-Civil War Reconstruction era The decade following the Civil War was one of readjustment and recovery followed by a period of rapid growth. Returning evacuees were faced with rebuilding homes and businesses and reestablishing churches and schools. Civil authority was divided between elected officials and the Freedman’s Bureau. The Loyal League, composed of lately freed men and the Ku Klux Klan further complicated law enforcement.
Records at City Hall indicate that M a y o r Gillenwaters and Vicki selectmen Roach r e s u m e d duties in Family August Branches 1865. The first ordinance the group passed prohibited the sale of merchandise of ardent spirits on Sundays. On December 9, 1865
an ordinance concerning fighting was passed which stated that white men were to be tried by civil authority, but that freedmen would be arrested and tried by the Provost Marshall of the Freedmen’s Bureau. All fines, however, would be paid to the Board of Selectmen. Two other laws reflect the post war conditions.; Ordinance 7 concerns vagrancy at night. Any freedman or woman caught lurking about the streets after 10 p.m. with-
out a pass from either his employer or the Provost Marshall, would be taken up and tried by the Provost Marshall. Fines would range from one to five dollars. Ordinance 9 provided for a two-man night patrol of the city from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. The patrols had the authority to call upon any persons for assistance. All persons retailing liquor were required to have a license from Tishomingo County. Ordinance No. 16 stated that any gro-
cery store retailing ardent spirits or venous liquids without a license from the county be closed instantly and that any grocers who continued after being informed be fined $50. Corinthians today still suffer the aggravation that fostered the last ordinance passed by Mayor Gillenwaters and his selectmen which stated a fine of $5 to $20 could be levied if railroad cars blocked a crossing for more than half an hour. James McAmis was
elected Mayor of Corinth in October 1865. Mr. McAmis served as mayor for two terms, from 18661870. (Vicki Burress Roach is a professional genealogist and special columnist for the Daily Corinthian.

When The Back Porch Mom exited the shower, she was surprised and thought the sight was very funny -- so she ran for her camera. She came back and made pictures of her cute and creative child. When the mom went to pick up her pictures from the photo-finishing shop, the female technician laughed and pulled out the pictures of the tissuewrapped child along with mom being reflected in the mirror wearing only a camera! An embarrassing moment indeed! …So be sure to take price tags off new clothes and always dress properly when snapping pictures near a mirror!

Faith is a gift from God BY GARY ANDREWS gary@gadevotionals.com
“You’re so like Minnie Pearl,” my husband said as he laughed. I looked at him with a questioning eye, and he was looking under my raised arm. “You’re just like her,” he said again, and then I looked beneath my arm to find the dangling price tag on my new jacket. Thing about it is I had worn it to town the day before and then again that day to my daughter’s house. I remembered wondering if all the tags were off the first day I wore the jacket, but I was in a hurry and didn’t see or feel anything flapping. I have to wonder how many folks looked at me and thought of Minnie Pearl but wouldn’t mention the tag to me. Oh well! If that’s the worst thing I do on these crazy days, I’ll be fine. I’m just thankful some of my bad dreams haven’t come true -- those dreams where I went to church or to school in my gown and house shoes, sometimes without any shoes at all. A price tag wouldn’t be bad at all, compared to what else could happen! I read a story about a mother who went into the bathroom to take a shower. While she bathed, her

In today’s society many will find people saying they do good things and good works so they can please God and be accepted into His glory. This is all well and good, however, good works alone does not get you to heaven. The Apostle Paul’s letter to the church of Ephesus explains God’s great goals for the church and proceeds to show the steps toward their fulfillment. Some will take verse 10 of Chapter Two literally and spend their time on workmanship or doing good works, thinking this is the way to eternity and a life with Christ in His heavenly home. Faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. It is a gift from God and nothing we can earn
Suggested Daily Bible Readings Sun.- Matthew 6:30-34; Monday - Mark 2:1-5; Tuesday - Romans 1:5-6; Wednesday - 1 Corinthians 2: 1-5; Thursday - Judges 9: 7-20; Friday Malachi - 2:10-12; Saturday - Matthew 21:18-21 or build by doing good works. Through God’s amazing grace and your acceptance of Him in your heart is the way to eternal salvation. This is clearly stated in Ephesians 2:8-10 which says: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (NIV) Doing good works is something you want to do after you have accept-
ed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. You accept Him by faith and work for Him because of your renewed heart and desire to please the Master. Through good works some say this is an outward expression of an inward decision. Good actions will allow you to show your Christian values are in place and the old sin nature of the past is gone. This allows others to see Jesus’ grace in you because of His kindness, unmerited favor and forgiving love. After your conversion experience
you will want others to know you are saved. Your salvation will show to the ages to come and to those around you in the present the incomparable riches of God’s grace is expressed through Christ Jesus. Continue doing your good works but do this in the full knowledge salvation is a gift from God and accepting the gift, which is Jesus Christ, is the only way to eternal life.

Church announces dates for pope’s Cuba trip BY PAUL HAVEN Associated Press
HAVANA — The Roman Catholic Church in Cuba has announced the dates and a partial itinerary for Pope Benedict XVI’s much-anticipated visit to the island, the first by a pontiff since John Paul II’s groundbreaking 1998 tour. The church said Sunday that the pontiff will be in Cuba from March 26 to 28, following a visit to Mexico. The itinerary outlined by the church is far less ambitious than that undertaken by John Paul 14 years ago. The 84-yearold pontiff will only be on the island for about
48 hours and appears to have no plans to visit important regional cities such as Santa Clara and Camaguey, both of which received John Paul. Benedict will touch down Mar. 26 in the western city of Santiago, Cuba’s second largest, where he will be received personally by President Raul Castro. He’ll then be driven through town in the glassed-in popemobile. Benedict will make a private trip the following day to the sanctuary of Cuba’s patron saint, the Virgin of Caridad del Cobre, then fly to Havana. In the capital, the pope will meet Havana Car-
dinal Jaime Ortega and other church leaders. That afternoon, he will have a private meeting with Castro. There is no mention of Benedict also meeting Fidel Castro, who is retired but often weighs in on world events through opinion pieces published in Cuban state-run media. On Mar. 28, Benedict will perform Mass at the sprawling Revolution Plaza, where hundreds of thousands turned out to see John Paul II. The pope will depart following the Mass and a trip through the capital in the popemobile. Benedict has been noticeably frailer and
weaker in recent months, according to religious leaders and others who have seen him, which could partly explain the trip’s limited scope. The visit coincides with the 400th anniversary of the appearance of the Virgin of Caridad del Cobre. But the timing also appears to reward the larger role the church has assumed in Cuba in recent years. Ortega personally negotiated the release of political prisoners in 2010 and 2011, and church magazines have become a forum for articles offering advice to Cuban leaders on a process of free-market reforms by Raul Castro.

Today we’ll hear from teenage readers: DEAR ABBY: I’m a 14-year-old girl. My mom showed me the letter from “Emotionally Abused” and I almost died! Her mom sounds just like mine. I am not allowed to wear clothing that shows too much skin or get into a car with a teenage boy. I don’t have cable TV. I have to do my own laundry, clean my room, cook dinner and hem my own jeans. Every night our entire family sits down for dinner. My parents always know my plans when I’m out with my friends, and I go to church every Sunday — with the occasional groan. I’m not the perfect daughter, but I’m glad I’m being raised with integrity, responsibility and a whole lot of chores. — COOPERATING TEEN IN NEW JERSEY DEAR ABBY: From one teen to another: I have heard your same story from friends a thousand
times. You’re not being treated like a criminal. Your Abigail mom is Van Buren doing you a huge faDear Abby vor. She’s preparing you for the real world by making you pay for your own things. She’s got high expectations if she thinks you can get through college. And about your friends, she just wants to know who they are. She’s not telling you no, right? She’s a single mom, and she’s trying to protect you. You need to be easier on her and try to see things through her eyes. Not everything she does is an attack on you — in fact, it’s the opposite. — FELLOW CALIFORNIA TEEN DEAR ABBY: I’m an 18-year-old girl and I have never been in trouble. I attend a private school where modesty is the dress code policy. To pay for tuition to this school, I work every afternoon during the school year and full-time during the summer. I’m expected to pay

for my own clothes, cellphone bill and haircuts out of my allowance. If I can’t afford something, I don’t buy it. As long as I live with my parents, I will abide by their rules. My parents love me very much and have my best interests at heart. “Emotionally Abused” should have respect for her mother and be thankful for the many things she has. — MONTANA TEEN DEAR ABBY: I’m also a 15-year-old Catholic girl. “Emotionally Abused” should be grateful she can attend church because it means we have religious freedom in our country. She is going to private school, which means her mother loves her enough to put her daughter’s needs ahead of her own. She needs to rethink who is being unreasonable. — TEEN IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: After we read the letter from “Emotionally Abused,” my brother and I were laughing to the point of tears! I would like to say the following to her: Our mom makes my brother (who’s also 15) and me go to church every Sunday and Wednesday. Mom home-schools us, thus
making her teacher, principal and mother all in one. I’ll be 17 in January and I still can’t date. Mom checks my computer regularly, and I’m not allowed to go to chat rooms. My brother and I have to set the table and eat with her every night. As for visiting Dad, I wish we could see ours every week. Unfortunately, he’s deployed overseas. In conclusion: Deal with it! Your mom isn’t being unreasonable; she’s looking out for you. Mothers like yours are few and far between. What hurts you, hurts her. If she didn’t love you, she wouldn’t act the way she does. Abby’s right when she says one day you’ll look back and thank her. My brother and I already thank ours. — LAUGHING SIBS IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR READERS: To read a longer version of this column, go to DearAbby.com.

Friday, January 6, 2012
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS It will be lucky to gather and share information. The moon in Gemini makes it feel as though just about any topic under the sun is up for discussion. Having prior knowledge of the subject will seem like more of a bonus than a requirement. Much will be learned by asking simple, open-ended questions or lobbing prompts such as “tell me more.” ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll deliver lighthearted fun. It will be good for relationships of all kinds, including professional. Your quick wit and active life will be a magnet for new friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll feel youthful and unburdened by responsibilities. Feeling this way makes it true to some extent. As if by magic, your schedule will be clear of worry. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Could it be that the energy and intention you give to your goals have greater power than the actual steps you take to make them happen? You’ll get evidence to suggest this today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be spending time with a complimentary individual. This person will confirm your attractiveness, not that you need such an ego boost. Your own opinion of yourself is what really matters. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There will be people on either side of an issue trying to get you to side with them or take action on their behalf. How do you know whether you’re doing the right thing? It
feels right. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The only way to see the big picture is to go to the top of the proverbial mountain. You can do this in your mind, or you can do it physically by heading to the highest point in your immediate geography. Either way will give you clarity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Accepting reality is the first step to co-creating it. Your will is strong, but the universal will is stronger. You’ll defer to it as you realize that any other move would be pointless. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may be prone to silly mistakes. Try to slow down and think things through. Luckily, your reflexes are so quick that even if you blunder, you can probably recover. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you don’t get what you want right away, it may be the best thing for you and everyone else. Sometimes what doesn’t happen may keep something really catastrophic from happening. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your sense of fun and adventure is going strong. You have responsibilities, but you don’t let them define who you are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). The world desperately requires your patience. So few people are patient, and so many rely on patience from others. Without it, life will run them over. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). New resources will inspire you to put an effort into raising your attractiveness quotient on
both the inside and the outside. Consider yoga. It will help you do both at the same time. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY You have the perfect combination of passion and practicality, and you’ll apply yourself. You’ll receive stellar advice and follow it to a windfall in March. There will be a May reunion. June features investment and commerce. Romance fills the end of summer. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 38, 14, 30 and 15. WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You convey power and trustworthiness. TAURUS: You’ll meet someone who makes you rethink past prejudices and preferences. GEMINI: Wanting to look good for someone sends a message that you think that person is very special. CANCER: You’ll let a partner think he or she is in the right. You really don’t care either way. That’s love. LEO: You’ll reach out to
a lonely heart, and that person will never forget the gesture. VIRGO: You can be deeply emotional at times, but right now you’re not in the mood. LIBRA: You’ll share “secrets” with another person, except it’s really just a fun way of telling that person what you really want him or her to know. SCORPIO: You’ll spend a good deal of time in a far-off romantic location of your own imagining. SAGITTARIUS: You’ll cobble together a good time out of your intelligence and someone else’s resources. CAPRICORN: The one you love loves you, too. What could be better? AQUARIUS: Someone who can’t say everything out loud will tell you quite a lot between the lines. PISCES: Happy with your own company, everything else is just a bonus.
