Officials seek missing man BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — Tishomingo County officials are seeking information about a man last seen by his family a month ago. Robert Paul Martindale, 55, of 18 County Road 473, Iuka, was reported missing by his family, who last saw him on Dec. 6. According to the Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department, Martindale is a truck driver,
and it is not unusual for him to be away for short periods of time without contact. However, the family became concerned when Martindale officials in Lowndes County found his vehicle but no
sign of Martindale. The missing man is described as 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 190 pounds with brown eyes and gray hair. He has a small tattoo on his left arm and another tattoo on his right hand. The sheriff’s department is seeking any information about the location of Martindale. Call 423-7000 or submit information online at tishomingocountysheriff.com.

Service Above Self. That motto has been a permanent fixture in Corinth since 1936. The Corinth Rotary Club commemorated its 75th year in the crossroads with a meeting at the Crossroads Museum on Thursday. Part of the festivities was a display — which now has a permanent home at the museum — chronicling the activities of the club over the years. “Rotary has always been active in the community,” said
“The club is involved in so many good things that help the community. I wanted to be a part of that.” John Orman Rotary Club member 1963-64 Rotary President David Palmer. “There have been a lot of good times together here in Rotary.” Corinth Rotary was officially organized on Nov. 23, 1936, with 23 charter members. The club was admitted to Rotary
International the following month on Dec. 7. “Rotary does so much around the world,” said 199899 President Jennie Hibbard. “It’s more than what is hapPlease see ROTARY | 2A
methamphetamine and felony child endangerment. The arrests occurred Dec. 6. ■ A traffic stop by North Mississippi Narcotics and deputies led to the arrest of Jaclyn Prentiss, 28, and Brad Davis, 45. Officials charged the two with possession of pseudoephedrine and conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. Information led to two search warrants and additional arrests in Prentiss County.
Additional details have been released regarding the sentencing of a former Booneville attorney on a charge of bank fraud. Former Booneville attorney Thomas Keenum has been ordered to pay more than $1 million in restitution in connection with his sentencing on one count of bank fraud. Keenum was sentenced on Dec. 30, to serve 22 months in federal prison for his role in a scheme to illegally obtain loans against a property he owned in Alcorn County. In August 2010 he pleaded guilty to the charge and admitted to falsifying title opinions on property he owned in Alcorn County in order to fraudulently obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars of loans against the property. Keenum admitted he sought and obtained documents from other local attorneys indicating the property had no liens against it based on information he provided to the attorneys, when in fact he knew other loans were already in place against the property. The names of the attorneys who provided those title opinions have not been made public. A final judgment in the criminal case was officially filed with United States District Court on Thursday, Jan. 5, detailing the specifics of Keenum’s sentence. In addition to the 22 months in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons, the former attorney most also serve five years probation after his release.
Keenum must report to begin serving his sentence before 2 p.m. on Feb. 27. The sentencing order requests that he be incarcerated at an appropriate federal medical center where he can receive treatment for medical issues. The judgment states Keenum must pay a total of $1,083,121.41 in restitution to a long list of institutions including: ■ $110,317.43 to Community Bank of North Mississippi ■ $157,091.15 to BancorpSouth ■ $266,872.62 to Community Spirit Bank ■ $123,518.96 to Peoples Bank of Ripley ■ $15,602.25 to First American National Bank ■ $10,000 to Duncan Lott ■ $75,000 to Allied World Assurance Company ■ $287,219 to CNA Insurance ■ $37,500 to Great American Insurance Co. The restitution must be paid beginning with a lump sum payment of $100 that was due immediately at the start of sentencing and then in equal monthly installments beginning while incarcerated. In June of 2011, Keenum was permanently disbarred from the practice of law by the Mississippi Supreme Court based on the recommendation of the Mississippi Bar Association after Keenum sought the permanent disbarment. Keenum announced his retirement and the closure of his Booneville law practice in January 2009, citing declining health.
Project Attention Kossuth 7th grader wins spelling bee honors civil rights leader’s legacy BY JEBB JOHNSTON
jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
With the correct spelling of “doubtful,” victory became a certainty for Kossuth Middle School’s John Riley Stanford. The seventh-grader took the crown and a $50 prize at the Alcorn County Spelling Bee hosted Tuesday night by Corinth Middle School at the CHS auditorium. His word wizardry earns him a spot in the regional competition in Memphis, Tenn. Stanford emerged victorious after 21 rounds that saw students make correct spellings of words such as “binoculars,” “astrophysicist” and “harassment.” The audience demanded a definition of one correctly spelled word — “chickabiddy” — and gave the speller a round of applause.

Project Attention is set to celebrate the promise of youth and the legacy of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The annual observance of King’s birthday will take place Saturday at 5 p.m. at the South Corinth school campus. As always, the children who participate in Project Attention’s activities will feature in the program. Children who penned winning essays on the theme of “I am a promise ... I am a possibility” will read their work. “It is going to be a reflection of what the kids are saying about how they are a promise and can go as far as they want,” said Shirley Rolland, activities facilitator for Project Attention. “But they have got to work to do it, and they have that opportunity now because of the things that Dr. King did for us.” Another highlight of the program will be a reunion of the group Seventy-Six Voices that brought Please see PROJECT | 2A

Corinth Marine Corps League members Gerald Nichols and Wayne Madden (not pictured) of Middleton, Tenn., traveled to Corinth to help collect funds and distribute toys for Toys for Tots. “Thanks to the Corinth Marine Corps League detachment 1331 for their Semper Fi, always faithful,” said William “Ralph” Gilliam, of Corinth Toys for Tots. “It takes a few Marines to do a big job.” The annual effort before Christmas provides toys for Corinth area families in need.

together singers from the community churches to perform together on what would have been King’s 76th birthday. The group
helped attract the largest crowd ever for the MLK program. “We know we’re not going to get all of them back together, but we wanted to get a part of
that group,” said Rolland. “Several of them are parents of kids at Project Attention, so it’s a little bit of a mini-reunion and a new beginning.” The event includes a
meal of thanks to supporters of the Project Attention Center, which currently has 56 children enrolled in its program. The center gives children a place to go and keeps
them focused on their studies. The center has three children who recently made the honor roll for all A’s — two boys and one girl. “We really feel good
when we can accomplish things with our guys,” said Rolland. “The girls usually are achievers, but sometimes it’s hard to get those boys to step up to the bat.”

joined the Ripley Rotary in 1950 before moving his membership to Corinth. “We sponsor Little League teams, been part of the student exchange program, and have been quite involved in the community,” said Dr. Sweat. Rotary has raised funds to support its many club service projects through two major events over the years. Rotary sponsored the Magnolia Classic Walking Horse Show for 20 years (1989-2008), raising over $120,000. Directed by committee chair and Rotarian John McCarter, the show earned several “Horse Show of the Year” awards from the Mid-South Horse Show Association and the Mississippi Walking Horse Association. Rotary put its feet to work with its current
fundraising project. The Austin’s Shoes Run with Rotary 5K began in 2009. Funds taken in from the run are used to support such commitments as Rotary Foundation, Rotary Teacher of the Year, Rotary Youth Leadership Conference, Student of the Month, Dictionary Project and Christmas Food Basket Project. The club also supports organizations such as Boys & Girls Club, Lighthouse Foundation, Pinevale Children’s Home, AMEN Food Pantry, Crosswind Ministries, Project Attention, Living Free and Rotary Interact and Beta Clubs. This year Rotary was able to dispense 1,100 food baskets as part of its 16th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Givaway.

Officials: Prepare for winter weather BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
Winter weather in the Crossroads area can change quickly and leave residents dealing with the dangers posed by snow, ice and sub-freezing temperatures. As part of ongoing efforts to encourage emergency preparedness, the Tennessee Department of Health, Department of Safety and Homeland Security and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency are urging residents to prepare now to stay safe and healthy during wintry weather. “The best time to plan for an emergency is before an event occurs, so we and our families are prepared to cope with a winter storm or any other emergency that may keep us home without power or leave us on the road for hours longer,” Health Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH, said. “Create emergency kits for your home and your vehicle with food, water and other supplies you will need, keep your gas tank half full and if you have to use a generator or emergency heat, beware of the serious danger of carbon monoxide.” Officials say it is also a good idea to make plans for child care if schools or daycare centers are closed, and check on elderly neighbors and relatives who may need assistance and are more at risk for health problems from the cold. “Everyone should remember emergency preparedness is an individual responsibility,” Tennessee Emergency Management Agency Director Jim Bassham said. “Taking some time now to get ready for a potential emergency, whether it’s severe winter weather or other hazards, can keep you and your family safe later.” Staying warm and safe can be a challenge during extreme winter weather.
Winter storms may leave your home without power, and even working heating systems may be inadequate during extremely cold weather. Make sure your home is equipped with working smoke detectors. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for all space heaters. If using a fireplace, make sure the flue is open and ventilating properly. Teach children to stay away from fireplaces, space heaters and any other open heat sources such as wall heating units, and keep any cords out of the way to prevent tripping. Never use an outdoor grill indoors for heating or cooking. Winter precipitation can create treacherous conditions for driving. Crossroads area residents are strongly encouraged to avoid driving on slick roads if at all possible. Talk with your employer about options for working from home when roads are dangerous. If you must drive, use extreme caution and try to take streets that have been treated with salt or brine to remove ice. Make sure you have plenty of fuel in your vehicle, and that tires are properly inflated. Drivers should also be prepared with emergency supplies in their vehicles, including blankets, water, a windshield scraper and a first aid kit. Be sure to wear seat belts as always and make sure children are properly restrained any time they’re in a vehicle. “I cannot stress enough the importance of being prepared before you hit the road this winter. In addition to an emergency kit, if possible, take a cell phone and charger with you. If you encounter problems on the roadways, dial *THP to directly contact the Tennessee Highway Patrol. State troopers are ready to assist motorists who may need help on roadways,” Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons said.

Barbour leaves record worthy of voters’ trust With Haley Barbour leaving office after serving eight years as governor of Mississippi, he will leave behind a record of accomplishment worthy of the trust voters placed in him. Barbour’s singular role in helping South Mississippi cope with, and recover from, Hurricane Katrina will long remain the stuff of gubernatorial legend. But his legacy will encompass more than dealing with an unprecedented natural disaster. He entered office when state finances were a fiscal disaster and guided state government to a position of more responsible money management. He enhanced the state’s business climate by boosting work force training and pushing tort reform through the Legislature. While he acknowledged some problems, such as illegitimacy, that were worthy of a governor’s attention, he did not try to right everything that is wrong about the state. He did not aim for perfection. He sought obtainable objectives and, more often than not, he reached them. And while it will be years before a final assessment can be made, his promotion of the Port of Gulfport may rival even his Katrina legacy. Barbour was also good company. During countless meetings over the years with the Sun Herald, we don’t recall him ever dropping by with a chip on his shoulder. We thank him for his service, and wish him all the best.

Letter to the Editor To the editor: Jimmy Mitchell, Corinth High School’s football coach, announced his retirement recently. While happy for Coach Mitchell, I found myself somewhat sad in the news that his tenure at Corinth is over. Some things I could always expect when watching his teams: 1) His best player was usually going to play middle linebacker. 2) If Corinth got the lead, play conservative on offense, and let the defense win the game. He won 118 games at CHS that way. 3) He always wore a short-sleeve shirt no matter the weather. 4) He expected the kids who played for him to do the right thing on and off the field or they did not play. 5) Fans could expect his teams to improve as the season progressed. I believe this year’s team to be the perfect example. Thank you, Coach Mitchell, for all the great Friday nights, for all your hard work and dedication to the kids you coached, but most of all for being a great representative of our city.

Mac and millions more from Big Pharma to promote the Bush prescription drug benefit for seniors, the largest unfunded entitlement program of the century. After weeks of unreturned fire, Newt’s poll numbers had been cut in half. He finished a distant fourth in Iowa. Having come back from the dead once in this primary season, it is hard to see how he resurrects himself a second time, given the depth of his fall, his seemingly uncontrollable anger and the little time he has left. Five weeks ago, Newt looked like the GOP nominee. Now, his political career seems about over. And with his friend Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson dumping $5 million into a super-PAC for Newt, his allies have the resources to exact retribution on Mitt for what Mitt’s friends did to Newt. Nor is this the only bad blood. In Iowa, Ron Paul’s ads charged Newt with “serial hypocrisy” for claiming to be a conservative but leaving Congress to make millions working the system. In New Hampshire, Paul escalated, calling Newt a “chicken hawk” who clamors for war on Iran but ducked service when he could have gone and fought during Vietnam. Newt has said that, should Paul become the nominee, he, Newt, could neither endorse nor vote for him. Paul’s supporters would reciprocate, were Newt to become the nominee.
Paul’s ads also charge Rick Santorum with being a “corrupt” politician who exploited his 12 years of Senate service to make millions on K Street. Santorum’s reply: “Ron Paul is disgusting.” The Republican candidates have gone beyond challenging each other’s records and positions to impugning their character. Sunday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Romney surrogate, directly questioned Huntsman’s “integrity,” implying he had plotted his presidential campaign against Obama while serving as Obama’s man in Beijing. He had taken the king’s shilling and then sought to dethrone the king. Such wounds take time to heal. Some never do, and some will not be closed before the Republican convention opens in Tampa, Fla. Then there are the policy divides. Paul may well run second to Romney in delegates and demand that his ideas — shutting U.S. military bases overseas, downsizing the American empire, getting a declaration of war from Congress before any attack on Iran — be written into the platform. How will a hawkish Republican majority finesse that one? To bring this crowd together at Tampa, the GOP nominee may need the diplomatic skills of a Talleyrand or Metternich. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”

he had already answered the question. Santorum’s approach is more sincere and intellectually laudable; Romney’s approach is more studied and likely to achieve his larger aim. And less satisfying. Romney’s campaign is all technique and no music. His speech in Exeter was schmaltz piled on top of saccharin in a perfect storm of substanceless sentimentality. First, he said he believed in America. Then, he said he loved America. And in conclusion, he quoted verses from “America the Beautiful.” In Romney’s case, patriotism is the first refuge of a politician who doesn’t dare say anything new or interesting. It wasn’t until New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Romney supporter, took the stage and slapped down a heckler that it felt like someone had thrown open a window in the tidy structure created by Team Romney to let in a gust of spontaneity and irrepressibly joyful combativeness. Neither of those will ever be a quality associated with Romney. He continues to excel in debates by routinely coming up with answers that feel as though they were produced by a crack marketing team

for maximum unassailability. His stumbles are so rare that they become as noticeable as the tiny wobbles of an Olympic skater trying to nail a triple Lutz. Challenged over the weekend on why he didn’t run for re-election as Massachusetts governor in 2006, he said he “went back into business,” even though he was already running for president when he left the governor’s mansion. Romney wanted to hang on to the scripted presentation of himself as a businessman above all else — plausibility be damned. It was a small falsity that stood for larger worries about his genuineness. Very few politicians have what it takes to follow the old rules with the proficiency of a Mitt Romney. It takes brains, discipline and managerial skill. But people have trouble warming up to the (almost) flawlessly executing candidate from a flawlessly executing machine. The Romney campaign notwithstanding, there’s no rule against inspiring people.

State House panel hires speaker’s aide at $110,000 pay BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi House of Representatives will pay $110,000 a year to Nathan Wells, a former campaign worker and state Republican Party employee, to act as an assistant to new House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton. “I would use him basically as a chief of staff,” said Gunn, who hasn’t settled on a title for Wells.
The House Management Committee voted unanimously Thursday to hire Wells, a 30-year-old Brandon resident who has assisted Gunn and others in their campaigns. Gunn said he needs someone to act as a liaison for him. Gunn noted that the lieutenant governor, who leads the Senate, has a large staff. “Our speaker needs someone like that in his of-
fice, and probably others,” said Rep. Ray Rogers, RPearl. Former Speaker Billy McCoy, a Rienzi Democrat, who repeatedly voiced pride in the frugal operation of the House, had only a secretary officially assigned to him. Gunn said the new position is needed to lessen his workload and reduce the political duties of the House clerk, now Andrew
Ketchings. Gunn said that the previous House Clerk, Don Richardson, advised McCoy on policy and helped assign bills. He said those duties had political overtones he wants Ketchings to avoid. “Mr. Ketchings needs to be a clerk for all the body,” Gunn said of the former Republican state House member from Natchez. The committee voted to pay Ketchings $112,500 a
year, about $30,000 less than the previous clerk. Gunn said Ketchings’ salary is equal to what the former state representative from Natchez was making in his previous job at the state Banking Department. “There was an overwhelming belief that the previous clerk was making too much, and I thought a $30,000 savings was appropriate,” Gunn said. “But I didn’t want the man
to experience a decrease in pay.” The committee also agreed to pay former House clerk Ed Perry at a weekly rate equal to Ketchings for what is anticipated to be about two months of work helping Ketchings learn the job. Officials said Perry doesn’t plan to work beyond the end of February, meaning he will make a maximum of about $20,000.
Sisters will push new governor for pardon after organ donation BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press
JACKSON — Two sisters released from a Mississippi prison last year on condition that one donate a kidney to the other were saddened and disappointed they weren’t among dozens receiving full pardons from the governor, one of the women said Thursday. Former Gov. Haley Barbour granted more than 200 reprieves in his final days in office. Most were full pardons, though some received suspended sentences. Jamie and Gladys Scott had served nearly 16 years of their life sentences for armed robbery when they were released on Jan. 7, 2011. Barbour granted Jamie Scott early release because she suffers from kidney failure, but he agreed to let Gladys Scott go on the condition she follow through on her offer to donate a kidney to her sister within one year. Barbour
noted at the time that Jamie Scott’s dialysis was costing Mississippi about $200,000 a year. Gladys Scott said Thursday that she “just started crying” when she found out they didn’t get a full pardon. Scott said she is in nursing school, but won’t be able to become a nurse unless her record is wiped clean. “I have to report to the Mississippi Department of Corrections for the rest of my life for a crime I didn’t commit. I guess if I had been a murderer, he would have pardoned me,” she said. The sisters claim to be innocent, and their lawyer said others involved in the crime have since recanted testimony that implicated them. One of the alleged victims told The Associated Press last year that the sisters planned the 1993 stick up in which he was lured down a dark road and robbed at gunpoint by three teenage boys. Civil rights advocates said the
sisters’ sentences were far too harsh. Chokwe Lumumba, the sisters’ lawyer, said during a news conference Thursday that he’ll ask new Republican Gov. Phil Bryant to pardon the women. Representatives for Bryant and Barbour did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. “It is very contradictory to me ... that you got people accused of killing people, burning their bodies and all that kind of stuff, killing pregnant people, who are walking free without any restrictions and the Scott sisters don’t have that kind of freedom,” Lumumba said Thursday. Barbour has not explained publicly why he didn’t pardon the sisters and has not given an explanation to Lumumba, the attorney said. They haven’t had the surgery because they haven’t lost enough weight for doctors to consider the proce-
dure safe, but Lumumba said that wasn’t likely a factor in Barbour’s decision in not pardoning them. The early release granted to the Scott sisters is different than a pardon because they have restrictions, like reporting to a parole officer every month and having to get permission to travel. The women now live in Pensacola, Fla. Barbour has been criticized by many for granting the reprieves, mostly to people who had already served their sentences. But some were convicted killers serving life terms. Late Wednesday, Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green temporarily blocked the release of 21 inmates who’d been given pardons or medical release by Barbour. Green issued the injunction at the request of Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood, who said he believes Barbour might have violated the state constitu-
tion by pardoning some inmates who failed to give sufficient public notice that they were seeking to have their records cleared. Gladys Scott said Thursday that she is still working to lose weight. She said has lost 20 percent of her body weight but needs to lose 50 percent. Lumumba said he doesn’t think they would be sent back to prison even if they never have the transplant. “This governor, amongst other things, is a smart man and he knows, he’s got to know, that it would be an absolute human rights violation to put any legal imposition on someone because of what they have done or what they have not done to their body,” Lumumba said. “There’s no way in the world ... that you can make somebody get a kidney transplant in order to get their freedom. That must be going back to burning witches or something like that.”
Medical and legal experts have said the kidney donation requirement likely would not withstand legal scrutiny. But putting conditions on parole is a longstanding practice. And governors have sometimes imposed unusual ones, such as requiring people whose sentences are reduced to move elsewhere. For instance, South Dakota Gov. Bill Janklow in 1986 commuted the sentences of 36 criminals on the condition they leave his state and never come back.

Panetta assures Afghans of full probe into video BY PAULINE JELINEK AND ROBERT BURNS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Pentagon leaders scrambled Thursday to contain damage from an Internet video purporting to show four Marines urinating on Taliban corpses — an act that appears to violate international laws of warfare and further strains U.S.-Afghan relations. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called Afghan President Hamid Karzai to offer assurances of a full investigation and the top Marine general promised an internal probe as well as a criminal one. Investigators moved quickly to identify and interview at least two of the four Marines. They were members of a battalion that fought for seven months in former Taliban strongholds in southern Afghanistan. Their unit, the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, returned from Helmand province to its home base at Camp Lejeune, N.C., last September. Marine officials said that a battalion officer confirmed to investigators on Thursday, based on his examination of the video, that the four men depicted urinating had been members of the battalion. Two have since moved on to other units. As the video spread
across the Internet in postings and re-postings, U.S. officials joined with Afghans in calling it shocking, deplorable, inhumane and a breach of military standards of conduct. It shows men in Marine combat gear standing in a semicircle urinating on the bodies of three men in standard Afghan clothing, one whose chest was covered in blood. It’s not certain whether the dead were Taliban fighters, civilians or someone else. The incident will likely further hurt ties with Karzai’s government and complicate negotiations over a strategic partnership arrangement meant to govern the presence of U.S. troops and advisers in Afghanistan after most international combat troops withdraw by the end of 2014. It also comes at a delicate time in relations among the United States, Afghanistan’s elected government and the Taliban insurgency fighting for both territorial control and cultural and religious preeminence in Afghanistan. The U.S. is trying to foster peace talks between the Karzai government and the Pakistan-based Taliban high command, and has made unprecedented offers to build trust with the insurgents, including
the planned opening of a Taliban political office to oversee talks. Anti-American sentiment is already on the rise in Afghanistan, especially among Afghans who have not seen improvements to their daily lives despite billions of dollars in international aid. They also have deplored the accidental killing of civilians during NATO airstrikes and argue that foreign troops have culturally offended the Afghan people, mostly when it comes to activities involving women and the Quran, the Muslim holy book. Pentagon officials said the criminal investigation would likely look into whether the Marines violated laws of war, which include prohibitions against photographing or mishandling bodies and detainees. It also appeared to violate the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice, which governs conduct. Thus, some or all of the four Marines could face a military court-martial or other disciplinary action. Karzai called the video “completely inhumane.” The Afghan Defense Ministry called it “shocking.” And the Taliban issued a statement accusing U.S. forces of committing numerous “indignities” against the Afghan people.
Obama’s pose: Above the political fray, president campaigns quietly BY ERICA WERNER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — To hear the White House tell it, President Barack Obama has scant interest in politics as Republicans battle each other for the right to challenge him. But in reality, Obama is increasingly involved in his re-election, staying in regular contact with his campaign staff, raising money and evaluating Republican debate performances. Throughout the White
House, Obama’s aides are knee-deep in the reelection business. There are daily conference calls between top aides in the White House and campaign staff at the Chicago re-election headquarters and close consultation on message and travel. His pose of indifference allows Obama to try to position himself above the sometimes-ugly fray of the campaign, leaving the political back-and-forth to others as he focuses instead on the loftier work

“The (presidency) requires you to act like you’re above all the less important stuff of the world — especially if the less important stuff is the guy who wants to take your job.” Ari Fleischer Press secretary under President George W. Bush of governing. But as with any incumbent president seeking re-election, political concerns weigh heavily as the election approaches. It’s just smarter politics, for now, to pretend otherwise. “Presidents like to act like they’re not paying attention to every little detail of every little thing, when I suspect they all do,” said Ari Fleischer, press secretary under President George W. Bush. “The job requires you to act like you’re above all the less important stuff of the world — especially if the less important stuff is the guy who wants to take your job.” White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president spends only about 5 percent of his time on the campaign,

and there will be plenty of opportunity to get more involved once the election is closer. “Because he does not need to now, he is not engaging particularly aggressively in his re-election campaign. It’s only January,” Carney said this week. But the president’s schedule and sometimes even his own words paint another picture: of a White House increasingly driven by politics. On Wednesday, a day after GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney solidified his front-runner status with a win in the New Hampshire primary, Obama hosted a White House event on job creation — a way of countering Republicans’ attacks on the president’s economic stewardship. Similar White House counterprogramming was on display last week, a day after the Iowa caucuses, when Obama announced he was going around congressional Republicans to
appoint a new consumer protection chief. And take travel, a good barometer of priorities because it requires that most precious commodity: the president’s time. Of a half-dozen domestic day trips Obama made in November, December and so far in January, five were to politically important states both parties will be contesting this fall — North Carolina, Ohio, New Hampshire and, twice, Pennsylvania. Obama also visited his hometown of Chicago Wednesday, but in reliably Democratic Illinois he didn’t bother with any official presidential events; he just dropped by his campaign headquarters and hit a few fundraisers before coming back to Washington. Carney downplays politics as the motivation behind Obama’s travel. “Every president ought to be able to travel everywhere in the country. It’s part of his responsibility,” the

presidential spokesman said ahead of one Pennsylvania trip. But Chris Lehane, an aide in Bill Clinton’s White House, said the president’s travel schedule reflects campaign imperatives. “The White House scheduling office is going to know that there are certain targeted states, and in those states targeted markets, and in those markets targeted districts you’re going to want to spend time in,” Lehane said. The president is also turning to his wife, the popular first lady, to make his case. Michelle Obama touted her husband’s accomplishments at events in Virginia on Wednesday, telling a crowd in Richmond, “We are blessed to have him.” The message Obama delivers while at home or on the road is discussed among campaign staff and White House officials on daily conference calls involving White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer, senior adviser David Plouffe and campaign officials in Chicago, according to a senior administration official. Campaign manager Jim Messina and senior adviser David Axelrod also travel from Chicago to meet with Obama at the White House fairly regularly, the official said, speaking anonymously to discuss private deliberations. Federal law broadly bars federal officials from using government resources on campaign work, aiming to separate campaign functions such as fundraising from the official government apparatus. But the president and his senior staff are largely exempt and permitted to conduct political functions from within the White House and use government phones and computers to do so as long as the cost to taxpayers is minimal. So there’s nothing stopping Pfeiffer and Plouffe from consulting regularly with their counterparts in Chicago.

The holiday shopping season was a test of Macy’s strategy of tailoring merchandise to local markets. And it was a success. Financial analysts expect the department store company to keep thriving even as its competitors struggle. “(Macy's is) taking share away from department store rivals and specialty stores,” says Brian Sozzi, an independent retail analyst. “The divide will only get wider.” Macy’s stocks its stores with clothing and other merchandise that fit local demand. In Washington, D.C., for example, you’ll find more business suits than in other parts of the country. Macy’s also has exclusive brands like Madonna’s Material Girl and Tommy Hilfiger. Here’s how Macy’s strategy has paid off: • Revenue for November and December from stores open at least year was up 5.7 percent from 2010.

An index compiled by the International Council of Shopping Centers showed that revenue for 25 retailers rose 3.3 percent during the holidays. Macy’s raised its earnings forecast for the fourth quarter and full year based on its sales. • The retailer has a 5.4 percent revenue gain so far for the fiscal year that ends later this month. J.C. Penney and Kohl’s, which target the same middle class shoppers as Macy’s, are up about 1 percent. • The company doubled its quarterly dividend to 20 cents and said it was increasing the size of its stock buyback program by $1 billion to $1.6 billion. Both moves are expected to help lift its stock. Investors have noticed. Macy’s stock is up 39 percent from the beginning of 2011. The 32 stocks in the S&P Retail Index are up nearly 5 percent. The 17 analysts who follow Macy's believe the stock could rise 11 percent the next 12 months. Fourteen analysts have a “buy” rating on the stock.
Macy’s stock has done better than other retailers’ stocks in the past year. 50% 40

The beginning of bank earnings
Consumers at the start of 2012
JPMorgan Chase will be the first major bank to report fourth-quarter earnings. JPMorgan is considered the strongest big banks. But its results are expected to be hurt by volatility in the financial markets during the quarter. The European debt crisis sent stocks plunging, and that kept investment banking clients out of the market. Banks were also hurt by a new law that limits how much they can charge stores for debit card transactions.
The readings on retail sales for December showed that consumers were spending more conservatively than expected during the holidays. We’ll get a first look about how they’re feeling at the start of the year when the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index is released. The index is expected to rise slightly to 71 from December’s 69.9. But the increase may not translate into more spending.

How are exports holding up? The Commerce Department’s report on trade in November will show the impact that Europe’s weak economy has had on U.S. exports. In October, exports fell after three months of gains. Economists expect a small increase for November. They’re concerned about 2012 because the outlook for Europe is unclear. The European Central Bank said Thursday there are signs that the region’s economy is steadying. But ECP President Mario Draghi said it still faces “substantial downside risks.”

Owners extend Selig’s contract through ’14 Associated Press
PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. — Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig says he couldn’t resist the pleas of team owners for him to stay on the job. His wife Sue has said all along there was no way her husband would walk away from the game. In the end, she was right. Owners voted 29-1 on Thursday to give Selig a two-year contract extension through the 2014 season. Selig has held the position since 1992, first as interim commissioner and then as commissioner since 1998. He will turn 80 in July 2014. If he stays until September 2016, he would surpass Kenesaw Mountain Landis (1920-44) as the longest-serv-
ing baseball commissioner. “I’ve often said, and I believe this, for me personally in my life there’s no higher honor than being the commissioner of baseball,” Selig said. Selig’s contract had been due to expire this Dec. 31 and he had talked of doing some teaching after leaving the job. But he said he began hearing lately from owners who wanted him to stay on. “I started hearing a couple of weeks ago that there was a groundswell movement to do this,” he said. “‘You can’t leave now.’ I’d hear from various owners.” He said he reached the decision after thinking about it over the holidays, although he acknowledged his wife
had been right when she said all along that he wouldn’t be stepping down this year. ‘In the end, doing what’s in the best interest of baseball — if this many people believe that and feel that — is something that I felt I should do,” he said. Asked how he felt to have so many want him to stay on the job, Selig said, “You can’t pay a human being a better compliment than that. If they really believe that, I’m just grateful. Very, very grateful.” Owners deferred a vote on the proposed transfer of the San Diego Padres from John Moores to Jeff Moorad, saying they need clarification on some financial information. Because Selig’s extension wasn’t on the agenda for
the meeting, owners took a unanimous consent vote to allow its approval. Moores, upset that the Padres’ sale was not approved, voted no, a person in the room said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the details were supposed to remain confidential. Owners took a second vote, giving notice of the extension, but a vote that will not be effective for 10 days. The extension was approved 291, with Moores again voting against it. Selig said he wants the Padres sale issues resolved “expeditiously.” Moorad said he respects the process and is working to resolve the conPlease see SELIG | 9A
Three from Alabama’s title team NFL-bound Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — National champion Alabama will once again try to keep rolling after losing three underclassmen to the NFL draft. All-Americans Trent Richardson, Dont’a Hightower and Dre Kirkpatrick said Thursday they’re leaving school to start pro careers, three days after helping the Crimson Tide to its second national title of their careers. “To leave a legacy like me and Dre have left here, to have two national championships in three years, I think that’s pretty big for us and our family and for the University of Alabama,” said Richardson, a Heisman Trophy finalist and Doak Walker Award winner as the nation’s top running back. Richardson and Kirkpatrick, a cornerback, attended a news conference announcing their decisions, while middle
linebacker Hightower issued a statement afterward. Richardson and Kirkpatrick are both projected as potential top 10 picks and Hightower is also regarded as a potential first-rounder. Alabama had a schoolrecord four first-round selections last year, including underclassmen Marcell Dareus, Julio Jones and Mark Ingram. The Tide came back and went 12-1, moving to 36-4 over the past three years. Richardson set school single-season rushing records with 1,679 yards and 21 touchdowns in his lone season as a fulltime starter after running behind the 2009 Heisman winner Ingram. He and Hightower were first-team AP All-America selections while Kirkpatrick was a second-teamer. The Tide beat LSU 21-0 in Monday night’s national title game when the nation’s top
defense yielded only 92 total yards. Richardson ran for 96 yards and scored the game’s only touchdown in the fourth quarter after topping 100 as a freshman in the first title game against Texas. Richardson said he wanted to be able to take care of his mother — who he says has Lupus and still works at a seafood restaurant — and two young daughters. “It really took a toll on me to make sure my momma doesn’t have to work anymore or my grandma,” said Richardson, who lost two aunts to cancer in the last year. His grandmother had retired, but returned to driving a school bus. Richardson said he made the decision Wednesday night after sitting down with his uncle and brothers. He went home to Pensacola, Fla., from the national championship game in New Or-
leans to discuss his future with family. Richardson said he received motivation from a childhood in a tough neighborhood where he lost “quite a few friends” to early deaths, drugs or prison. “This place has changed my life,” Richardson said. “It really turned me from a teenager to a man, and a grown man at that. “I never thought I’d be in college playing football, or I never thought I’d be almost done with my degree. In 21⁄2 years, I’m almost done with my college degree. That’s big for me.” Hightower, the team leader with 85 tackles, was eligible for a fifth year of eligibility after missing most of the 2009 national championship season with a knee injury. He wasn’t present at the news conference, and Saban only Please see TIDE | 9A

OXFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Murphy Holloway is way too short for a power forward in the Southeastern Conference, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot the ball particularly well from outside and has no signature offensive moves in the paint. Yet no one is more important to Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team. Holloway scored 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in his first game back from a sprained ankle and Mississippi beat Arkansas 71-63 on Wednesday night. Ole Miss (11-5, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) won for just the second time in six games, coming up with a much-needed victory after a blowout loss to LSU in its league opener. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you lose four of five games and you think â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rebels coach Andy Kennedy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Holloway) wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what was wrong. Good players make good coaches and when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back we dominate the glass. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason we win the game. Nothing else has changed.â&#x20AC;? Nick Williams added 18 points off the bench as the Rebels won the rebounding advantage 48-26 and shot 50 percent from the field. The Rebels led by as many as 13 points in the second half. The loss snapped the Razorbacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seven-game winning streak. Arkansas (12-4, 1-1) was led by Marvell Waitheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 points while B.J. Young added 14 points and Julysses Nobles scored 12. The Razorbacks shot just 39.3 percent (24 of 61) from the field. Holloway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who is listed at a generous 6-foot-7 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had missed the past three games with a sprained ankle and the Rebels struggled without him, losing two of those three. Though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a particularly efficient offensive player, he excels at offensive rebounding, second-chance points and bone-jarring defense.

Emmert said when asked what he heard coming out of New Orleans this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving toward a 16-team playoff is highly problematic because I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much to ask a young manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body to do.

BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said Tuesday that 50-60 possibilities for various changes were presented during a deliberate meeting in New Orleans, where Alabama beat LSU in the BCS title game Monday night.
One possibility is the fourteam playoff, or the so-called plus-one approach, that would create two national semifinals and a championship game played one week later. The original proposal, made in 2008 by the commissioners of the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference, was emphatically shot down by the leaders of the Big Ten, Pac10, Big East, Big 12 and Notre Dame.

‘The best way out Mrs. Mabel Robinson Cummings, Part II is always through’ BY JIMMY REED jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com
New Year’s resolutions are easy to make, but as the months roll by, keeping them becomes increasingly difficult. Writer Léo Malet once said: “Good resolutions are a pleasant crop to sow. The seeds spring up readily, and the blossoms open with a brave show, especially at first. But when the time of flowers passes, what as to the fruit?” Bringing those blooming resolutions to full fruition is the hard part, which reminds me of my father’s advice: “Son, when you face a task, if there is not a logical reason to do otherwise, tackle the hard part first. Then, tackle the next hardest part and so on until the job is done. The best way out is always through. Those who take the easy way out end up in the same place — out.” Dad understood when people postpone a job’s hard parts, they diminish the pleasure and sense of accomplishment the task may bring because they know the parts of the job they are reluctant to face remain undone. Dad’s wisdom has never failed me, especially in the classroom. In dealing with college students, I strive to eliminate their weaknesses before improving their strengths. Some find this annoying and frustrating, and probably think I’m taking the easy way out. I disagree. The hard way requires first undertaking the more difficult task of eliminating irresponsible, counterproductive mindsets that hinder the learning process. I’ve observed many incoming college freshmen have been misled into believing the world owes them whatever they need
or want. How wrong! The world was here first — it owes them nothing; they owe the world. A disturbing number of them believe just showing up for class is good enough, that ignoring the hard tasks, studying and learning, is acceptable … what I call the “entitlement attitude.” In my classes, students discover early on they must abandon that attitude or fail. Giving students what they don’t deserve is wronging them. They must be taught earning one’s way in life is the only way to have a meaningful life. They must learn to do the hard part first. They must be taught nobody starts at the top; they must accept the reality building a strong educational foundation is one of the hardest parts of becoming an honorable, productive member of society; they must realize in the workplace, one of the hardest parts will be accepting and completing responsibilities that come with the initial steps of climbing the ladder to success. They must embrace the inviolable truth that anything worth having is worth struggling for. Teachers must instill in students humility and the certainty an inflated view of one’s importance is bogus self-esteem. Winners are not prima donnas; winners are humble, selfreliant, productive people who take the hard steps first and in time realize that doing so provides the experience that makes future steps easier. My New Year’s resolution has been to continue teaching students what Dad taught me: Do the hard part first. (Oxford resident Jimmy Reed, 662-832-8031, is a newspaper columnist, author and college teacher.)
(This is Part 2 of a twopart series on Mabel Cummings of the Walker Switch Community.) This information was obtained in part from an article published in The Tishomingo County News of Iuka, dated Jan. 31, 1985.) The first school in which Mabel taught was a one-teacher school known as Bluff Springs -later known as Pumpkin Center-- that was about a mile from her home. Mabel took her brother, who was 13 years old at the time, to school with her. They walked when the weather was nice, but when weather did not permit, they rode horses or took the buggy. There was a stall by the schoolhouse where the horses were kept. Mabel had 27 students in her first classroom, including Bessie, Ida, Luther “Buck”, and Mattie Lindsey; Zelphie, Ed, Arthur, and Melvie Walters; Hugh, Freman, Birdie, and Bessie Henson; Clara, Beatrice, Ester, and Joel Seago; and Andrew Lovelace. Mabel remembered presenting Andrew Lovelace’s 8th grade diploma to him. She also remembers being in class on November
11, 1918, and she and the children heard a loud noise. It was a RaNae signal that W o r l d Vaughn War I had Historically ended. Speaking The next school in which Mabel taught was at Oak Ridge — near Mt. Gilead — where she had an astonishing 52 students from beginners through the 8th grade all in one room. Among the students she taught were Rachel Hearn Moore and her two sisters and one brother; Ruth and Dalton Seago; Amy and Alfred Bonds; Grady, Ray, Francis Feltman, and Gladys Rhodes; Addie Taylor and her brother and sisters; Jess Hale and his brothers and sisters, Audrey, Ivy, and “Bal” Barnes; and Hershel Davis. Mabel taught at Oak Ridge until the spring of 1920. On August 15, 1920, Mabel married James L. Cummings, who had just recently returned from serving two years in the Army, where he was stationed in Germany and France throughout
World War I. He was the son of C. C. “Doc” Cummings, a veterinarian, and Laura Posey Cummings. Mabel and Jim traveled to New Orleans for their honeymoon. While there, Jim prepared paperwork to start college. At the beginning of the next term, Jim began college at A&M College at Starkville (now Mississippi State University) where he attended one year. He wanted to be a teacher, but since he was unable to obtain the classes he needed, he transferred to the University of Southern Mississippi at Hattiesburg. Their first child, James, was born in June following their move. One and a half years later, their second child, Mary Laura, was born while they were still living in Hattiesburg. After the birth of their third child, Joyce, Mabel and Jim moved back to the Burnsville area to try to help consolidate the schools so that the children of Tishomingo County could obtain a better education than they received in the area when they were younger. Jim and Mabel bought a farm from her father, and Jim began to teach at Gravel Hill School. In
1927, he began to teach at Burnsville with two more assistant teachers. Gradually, Jim began adding more subjects and teachers. However, times were bad and lack of money to pay the teachers was on the verge of causing the eightmonth school term to be cut to only three months, so Jim, with the help and support of Mabel, began working feverishly, using his own money and time, to bring Gravel Hill, Lambert’s Chapel, Holloway, and Pleasant Ridge together with the Burnsville School. All of these schools were near the railroad, and Jim knew that the railroad had to pay taxes on a certain amount of land next to it, so he made a special arrangement to use this money to pay for an eight-month school term. Each school kept their own students until they finished eighth grade, and then the students were sent to Burnsville to finish high school, since it was the only high school around the area unless a student traveled to Iuka. Jim served as the Superintendent of Burnsville School and a teacher there for over 30 years.
Mississippi ranks 45th in school ratings BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi’s K-12 schools once again trail in an influential measure of school performance. Though it gets good marks for high standards, Education Week’s Quality Counts report gives the state’s school system a C- overall, saying the state is particularly lagging on test scores and the amount
of money it spends on schools. Mississippi ranked 45th among the states, with South Dakota getting the worst grade, a D+. Education Week gave its best grade, a B+, to Maryland. The publisher of the weekly education newspaper gave Mississippi an ‘F’ on K-12 achievement, which is mostly based on scores on the National Association of
Educational Progress, although scores did show improvement in some areas. “Fourth and eighth grade NAEP scores are definitely something we have to improve on,” said Pete Smith, a spokesman for the state Department of Education. Mississippi did get an A for its state standards, which Smith attributed to recent upgrades. “These reports tell us
things we should already know,” said Rachel Canter, executive director of Mississippi First, a group pushing for changes in how the state educates its children. Incoming Gov. Phil Bryant has vowed to focus on improving reading in early grades and to create options for high school students to enroll simultaneously at community colleges to discourage dropouts.

College launches worship major Be careful how “We believe that it’s particularly you look at others important that we prepare Special to the Daily Corinthian
N o t so many years ago there was an elderly old farmer who Gary walked Andrews into a car dealer and Devotionals was looking at a new truck. Several salespeople were in the dealership, however no one made their way to the old farmer because he was dressed in overalls, had dirt on his boots and generally looked as though he had come out of the fields from working all day. A new salesman, a retiree from another field of work, someone who had gone to work at the dealership as a job for some extra pay, but also as a job to be around and meet people, went up to the old farmer and asked if he could help him. The farmer replied “Yes, I want to buy this truck.” The salesperson said, “You have made a good choice. How do you want to pay for it?” The farmer replied, “Cash.” A sale was made and the dealership gained a valuable customer because someone cared enough to talk with the individual and not judge him on his clothing or appearance. The salespeople of that dealership learned a valuable lesson that day because no one needs to be judged by their appearance. No one

BLUE MOUNTAIN — With an eye toward strengthening church worship services, Blue Mountain College will launch a new major in worship leadership, a bachelor of arts degree. The new course of study will replace the major in church music and will combine 44 hours of musical studies with 18 hours of Biblical studies and Christian ministries, and 14 hours of worship leadership -- in addition to the core course requirements. The worship leadership major will embrace all styles of worship services, said Dr. Greg Long, chair of the Department of Fine Arts and Speech at BMC. “We want to offer a major that will prepare students to lead traditional as well as contemporary worship,” Long said. “We believe that it’s
students to be familiar with the demands of all worship services as the styles evolve.” Dr. Greg Long Chair, department of Fine Arts and Speech at Blue Mountain College particularly important that we prepare students to be familiar with the demands of all worship services as the styles evolve.” The 14 hours of the worship leadership component will include new courses: Dynamics of Worship Leadership, Practice of Worship Leadership, Music Literature for Worship, Principles of Worship Leadership, a Worship Leadership Internship and a Senior Worship Program.
“This major is an example of adapting a traditional liberal arts program to the needs in today’s society,” said Dr. Bettye Rogers Coward, BMC president. “Anything that could possibly be involved in a church service, we wanted to include it in the worship leadership component,” Long said. “We have tried to make this program as practical as possible,” he added. “We want BMC students to be able to prepare for a worship service, then
plan it and lead it. We already have several students serving churches throughout the area and we believe this will give them a much stronger foundation.” Long emphasized that the new program will prepare students for the local churches. “We will continue to offer a strong musical component,” he said. “But this course of study is to prepare students to serve local churches and not necessarily for them to become star musicians. “Our courses will deal with the theology and philosophy of worship, and we intend to expose our students to a broad range of worship experiences and let God lead them according to their calling.” (For complete information, contact Long at glong@bmc.edu or at 662-685-4771 extension 148.)
Miss. high court to hear church dispute Special to the Daily Corinthian
JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has agreed to hear a dispute over the move of a church in Oxford. Last spring, the state Court of Appeals upheld a judge’s ruling that subdivision covenants will not hinder the Oxford Church of Christ in moving to a new site north of town. In 2009, Lafayette County Circuit Judge Perry Lynchard Jr. ruled in favor of property own-
ers Ernest and Bonnie Harland. His ruling said covenants on the 12-acre site the Harlands purchased in the Long Meadow subdivision would not prohibit the building of a church there. The Long Meadow Homeowners’ Association argued that their covenants allow only for the building of single-family homes. They objected after Ernest Harland, an elder in the Church of Christ, purchased the property with the church
in mind. The Supreme Court’s decision last week to hear the appeal is the latest development in a dispute that dates back to 2007. Early that year, the Church of Christ announced its plan to sell its downtown building to developers and build a new facility. The Long Meadow neighbors objected to having the new church in their area, while others organized to try to influence the church to stay
downtown, or at least to ensure the building’s preservation. Oxford officials stepped in to bring the church building into the protection of a new historic preservation district. The developer who first envisioned replacing the church with a hotel dropped out; a second developer with plans for preserving the building quit after the Oxford Planning Commission rejected his parking plans.
An amusing explanation behind an insurance injury claim This week I’ve made several efforts to speak with appropriate people in a couple of different out-of-town companies and have had all kinds of complications getting past the automated choices on the phone. All I wanted was talk to a human, speaking plain English, and have a chance to make my inquiry. I was reminded that before the days of automated answering machines and choices, information was usually requested — by individuals and by companies — in the form of long “fill in the blank” questionnaires. Sometimes the explanations were hard to write down in a sensible way. We all know insurance companies are notorious for various forms and can easily turn down claims because of lack of information or the application of a wrong code, thus requiring more forms to be
filled out with further explanations. Several years ago, an examLora Ann ple of such Huff a story was shared Back Porch with one of our church groups by Benny Wilbanks, and as long as I live, I’ll never forget how hard I laughed as he read the details of an accident claim. I came across the story again the other day, and if you will read it aloud and picture the step-by-step explanation, I promise you will have your laugh for the day. Many folks have already heard the story, but for those who haven’t, here goes: “Dear Sir: I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block No. 3 of the accident report-
ing form. I put “Poor Planning” as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully and I trust that the following details will be sufficient. I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I discovered that I had about 500 pounds of bricks left over. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley which, fortunately, was attached to the side of the building on the top floor. Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel over the side and loaded bricks into it. Then I went back to the ground and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow decent of the 500 pounds of bricks. You will note in
Block No. 11 of the accident report form that my weight is 185 pounds! Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rather rapid rate up the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel which was now proceeding in a downward direction at an equally impressive rate of speed. This explains my fractured skull, minor abrasions and broken collarbone, as listed in Section 3 of the form. Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley at the top, as mentioned in Paragraph 2 of this correspondence. Fortunately, by this time I had
regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope despite the excruciating pain I was beginning to experience. At that time, however, the barrel of bricks reached the ground — and the bottom fell out of the barrel when it hit. Now devoid of the 500 pounds of bricks, the barrel weighed only 50 pounds. I refer you again to my weight in Block No. 11. As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth, and the severe lacerations on my legs and lower body. Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow it up enough to lessen my in-
juries when I fell into the pile of bricks, and fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report, however, that as I lay there on the pile of bricks in pain, unable to move and watching the empty barrel six stories above me, I again lost my composure and presence of mind -- and let go of the rope! Sincerely, Joe the Bricklayer” …Yes, I know there’s not much spiritual meat in today’s column, but after an hour of attempts to work with two different automated answering services, I needed some laughter. After all, it is good medicine! (Lora Ann Huff is a Wenasoga resident and special columnist for the Daily Corinthian. Her column appears Friday. She may be reached at 1774 CR 700, Corinth, MS 38834.)

Are women who behave that way really the kind of people you would like to be lifelong friends? If not, then pass on that sorority! DEAR ABBY: My son is chronologically 12 and the size of an adult, but emotionally he is age five.
He’s a moderately functioning child with autism, ADHD and behavioral issues. Please let people know that just because they can’t see a disability does not mean there isn’t one. I often get dirty looks and rude comments, and I am extremely frustrated with it. Being nice or ignoring it does no good. I know my son’s behavior can be childish, rude or inappropriate at times. I have been fighting this battle every day since he was two. I have seen every doctor and therapist available and exhausted every resource I could find, and now we have either aged out or my son isn’t “bad enough” to be eligible. However, he is still difficult to handle, and I still need to buy groceries and run errands. Sometimes that parent you are giving the dirty looks to is near
the end of her rope and could use a little compassion or at least silence from the peanut gallery. What you see isn’t always what you get. — STRUGGLING MOM IN LONG BEACH, MISS. DEAR STRUGGLING MOM: Please accept my sympathy. As you and other parents of children with disabilities deal with the realities of daily living, the last thing you need is criticism from strangers. If someone makes a comment, you should say, “My son can’t help himself; he’s autistic.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Only 13 days into the year, and this will be one of the freakier Fridays of 2012. Love goddess Venus favorably angles Saturn in the relationship realm of Libra to put some twists and surprises in the romantic plot. Mercury and Pluto line up, and so will Venus and Neptune, making sure that there will be an audience for the day’s weird show. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Bring your emotions to everything you do. You could miss something by living too much in your head or approaching every situation from an intellectual standpoint. Engage your body and feelings. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Something that only takes a moment or two -- for instance, keeping your keys in the same place consistently or writing down all appointments -- will yield a huge return on your investment of attention. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An old saying goes “loose lips sink ships,” and that’s not all they sink. Relationships, opportunities and reputations also hang in the balance now. By remembering past mistakes, you’ll be careful of what you reveal and to whom. CANCER (June 22July 22). You haven’t had the time to read as much as you would like. An obligation will drop from your schedule, and the ideal way to spend this newfound time will be with your nose in a book.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One person sees a big dog and thinks: threat. Another person sees the same dog and thinks: friend. Either one could be correct. Realizing that others don’t perceive things as you do gives you an advantage today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are those who will take up your time with pointless chatter. If it’s pleasant, you won’t mind. But if it’s both pointless and boring, you’ll take precautions not to be caught in the same situation again. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There will be an opportunity to make money while learning. You probably won’t be making much, but the education is so valuable that you’ll come out very much ahead if you seize this chance. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Gentle movement will bring harmony to your world. Walking is a kind of active meditation. Also, the sensory input of the changing scenery is like a wonderful workout for your brain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Kindness is your calling card. You’ll embody the qualities of compassion, patience and love just when someone in your midst most needs this influence. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’ll have a competitive edge because you don’t mind seeing an endeavor for the competition it really is. Others might say it’s “just for fun,” but part of the fun is that only one team can

RICORN: A loved one senses that you can give yourself all that you deserve and admires you for this. AQUARIUS: Your compliments will bring someone nearer to you. PISCES: Keep minor everyday problems out of the conversation, and maintain your mysterious aura of attractiveness. COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: With the sun in Capricorn and the moon still large in Libra, these signs are apt to reflect each other’s more intriguing characteristics. Both have a strong streak of loyalty and don’t really need to be taught how to be supportive. It’s as though they were born knowing how important it is to give and receive respect. It’s not to say their relationship is problemfree, though it will certainly seem that way this weekend.

You don’t like to depend on another person for what you can do yourself -- such as banking and making life plans. TAURUS: Chatter gets annoying no matter how interesting the person chattering may be. GEMINI: You’ll take the initiative to do what helps life run smoothly for you and yours. CANCER: You’ll become more financially stable on your own, and this helps your romantic life, as well. LEO: You’ll be focused on satisfying your desires, a sign that you have been depriving yourself lately. VIRGO: Express your creativity, and romance comes rushing into your life. LIBRA: Avoid gossip. It will only weaken your position. SCORPIO: Dare to show your feelings, whether or not it seems socially acceptable to do so. Someone connects with your open heart. SAGITTARIUS: There is strength in the silent language of the body. Lock eyes with the one you are interested in, and see where it goes from there. CAP-

win. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Mix with those who have experience in the realm in which you want to succeed. Learn from someone who has “been there and done that.” You’ll gain insights and create the same success for yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be surprised by the shards of past pain that reemerge long after you thought you were past it. Be patient. Moving on is a process. You’re developing perfectly. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 13). You’ll be more perceptive and attuned to the world around you. In the next 10 weeks, you’ll seize an opportunity to make money. You’ll accept a proposition in March. Travel and adventure are connected to what’s going on with your family in April. You’ll be widening your skill base and experience in July. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you.
