Tourism OKs event funding boost Alcorn Farm and Machinery Show will get $10,000 for advertising BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The tourism board has voted to increase funding for an upcoming event at Crossroads Arena. In a specially called meeting at the Corinth Area Conven-

tion & Visitors Bureau Thursday, the tourism board voted to award an additional $5,000 for the Alcorn Farm and Machinery Show, coming to Crossroads Arena Jan. 19-21. Thursday’s decision brings

the total CACVB sponsorship for the event to $10,000. The arena requested a total of $20,000 for advertising and promotion of the event. “We’re putting $10,000 into the Farm & Machinery Show’s

advertising and promotional efforts in the hope that it will be a success and we can support it next year as well,” said Kristy White, executive director of the Tourism Office. The full amount could not be

funded because of current financial constraints within the CACVB’s budget, explained White. With the total $10,000 award, the arena must comply Please see FUNDING | 2A

Lengthy pursuit ends in arrest BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

A Booneville man is in custody. accused of shooting at the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department chief deputy during a lengthy pursuit which went from Booneville to Corinth then back to Booneville. The Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department is still investigating and determining what charges will be filed against Terry Farrow, 44, of 24 CR 5061, Booneville, said Sheriff Randy Tolar. The pursuit began Monday night around 11 when deputies were called to an area northeast of Booneville to check out a suspicious vehicle in the area. “When a deputy got to the area he spotted the vehicle, a Ford mini van. The deputy stopped the vehicle and began investigating the report and discovered contraband in the vehicle,” Tolar said. Farrow “The driver abruptly started the vehicle and began to flee. The deputy pursued the vehicle that failed to stop. From that location he eventually doubled back to Booneville and hit Highway 45 and traveled north to Corinth. “Apparently when the driver saw blue lights ahead he turned back south on Highway 45.

Corinth Street Commissioner Jim Bynum adds a live tree to the recycling pile at the inert landfill on Linden Street, where the trees will be converted into mulch, which is available at no charge to local residents.

Tree recycling program continues Residents can get free mulch BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth’s Christmas tree recycling program continues this year, although each passing year is seeing fewer trees offered for chipping. “It gets less and less each year,” said Street Commissioner Jim Bynum. “Everybody gets the artificial trees.” Probably fewer than 100 were collected by the city last year. When the program began about 15 years ago, the city would have

“quite a pile” of trees accumulated at the inert landfill. Residents can leave their discarded live trees curbside for pickup by the street department. “They need to be sure to take off all the decorations and wires and nails,” said Bynum. “It will interfere with the chipper.” Chipping of the collected trees is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Jan. 11. Residents will then be able to pick up fresh cedar mulch at the inert landfill on Linden Street near the railroad track. Hours are 7:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. While providing a protective barrier for plant roots, the mulch prevents weed growth and adds nutrients to the soil as

it breaks down, according to the Mississippi State University Extension Service. In other areas, discarded Christmas trees may be used to help stabilize beaches and shoreline, sunk in bodies of water to provide fish habitat or used for river delta sedimentation management. With other post-Christmas trash, Bynum encourages residents to tear down large boxes when possible and keep loose papers from littering the neighborhood. City and county trash collection is on a holiday schedule again next week, with the Monday and Tuesday routes both scheduled to be picked up on Tuesday.

Northeast nears halfway point on construction BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Northeast Mississippi Community College has reached the halfway point in the construction of its new student services building. College president Dr. Johnny Allen said recently the contractor has informed them work on the T. Jack Ramsey Student Services Building is 50 percent complete. The more than $7 million building, which sits at the eastern end of Cunningham Boulevard, will create a one-stop location for students to access a variety of key college services including admissions, records, financial aid, business, housing and counseling offices. Many of these offices are now scattered across the campus. The second floor of the center will house the college’s administrative offices. The school broke ground on the project in February.

Captured Japanese World War II battle flag making its way home BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

A Japanese battle flag captured in World War II is on its way back to its native land. The flag changed hands at the Corinth home of Patricia McNair. Patricia and her son Mike had invited a group of Japanese visitor’s to a barbecue. Mike knew them from his job at the Toyota Supplier factory in Baldwyn. Manabu Yasui, Makato “Big Mac” Takakuwa, Takahito Kohashi and Shigeru Kuroyanagi had traveled to Baldwyn from the Land of the Rising Sun to work in quality control at the factory. The group would get a surprise during the barbecue when Patricia’s brother, Kenneth Roaten, brought over a faded Japanese flag. In its center was the traditional red sun, surrounded by words written in Japanese. The Japanese visitors were able to translate some of the flag’s message for their Ameri-

can hosts. “It was for the boys leaving to go fight,” Patricia explained. “When they would leave, it was a good luck thing, because they felt like so many of them would not make it back.” Patricia and Kenneth’s father, James Marlin Roaten, was a veteran of the U.S. Army. James, who passed away in 1970, brought the flag home after fighting in World War II. It had been in Kenneth’s possession since 1969. With the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor approaching, Patrician and Kenneth gave the family heirloom to their Japanese visitors, in hopes that it would find its way to a museum in its native land, where the flag and its history could be appreciated by anyone with an interest. “You should have seen them

WASHINGTON — Americans are hopeful for what 2012 will bring for their families and the country, according to a new Associated PressGfK poll, though most say 2011 was a year they would rather forget. Nearly seven in 10 say the year gone by was a bad one, more than double those who consider it a success, according to the poll. But 62 percent are optimistic about what 2012 will bring for the nation, and more, 78 percent, are hopeful about the year their fam-

ily will have in 2012. Jeff Wolfe, 33, of Farmington, W.Va., said 2011 treated him well because he was able to find steady work as a lineman. But for the rest of the nation, things were “pretty rough,” with so many Americans looking for jobs, he noted. “For the first time since 2009, I worked all year,” he said. Wolfe said he lost work in 2008 and again in 2010. But in 2011, the father of two school-age children said he was able to catch up on

some delays in the initial phases of construction due to weather and other issues, but the contractor is working around the clock to catch up and appears to be fully on track to meet the Sept. deadline for completion. The school hopes to hold an official ribbon cutting and opening of the building in October.

A partisan divide, much like the one that ruled Washington this year, seems the only split in public opinion on 2011. Democrats were most likely to view 2011 positively (40 percent called it good), while independents and Republicans were less effusive.

Leaders attend 4-H forum Special to the Daily Corinthian

The 2011 Southern Region 4-H Volunteer Leaders Forum was recently held at the C. A. Vine 4-H Center near Little Rock, Ark. Volunteer leaders from 13 Southern states gathered together for leadership development, fellowship and the opportunity to expand resources throughout the region. The conference offered an excellent selection of workshops, motivational speakers and tours of Little Rock. Forty-eight delegates represented Mississippi during the four-day event. The regional forum held Oct. 6-9 is one of many training opportunities 4-H volunteers can participate in. The workshops offer information that can be shared with volunteers, youth and parents. Alcorn County 4-H Volunteer Leader Phyllis Young was inspired during the event to assume the leadership of an additional 4-H club in Alcorn County — the Cloverbud Club which is a 4-H program for youth ages 5-7. Young is also the volunteer leader of the Clover Chefs and City Clovers. Georgia Keith, Alcorn County 4-H resource leader, assists Young with the 4-H clubs and will also be sharing new ideas she obtained during the forum at upcoming workshops.

Corinth, Miss.

Pipeline an unseen victory for Republicans President Barack Obama recently signed into law the measure that extends a 2 percentage-point Social Security withholding for two months so that congressional negotiators will be able to hash out an agreement to continue it for all of 2012. It also extends benefits for the long-term unemployed. The bill certainly has its drawbacks. It does put a little more money in workers’ paychecks — $20 a week for someone making $50,000 a year, $10 a week for someone earning $25,000 annually. But it is shortsighted to take that money out of the Social Security fund, which has well-documented financial problems of its own. Further, it’s regrettable that partisan bickering left Congress unable to decide what to do about the tax break for a full calendar year. However, there is an important part of the bill that’s unrelated to Social Security withholdings. House Republican critics who nearly torpedoed the bill mystifyingly ignored this in their original opposition. It is the provision that requires the president to make a quick decision on whether to allow construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would send Canadian oil sands products across the heart of the United States for refining in Texas. Obama, yielding to environmentalist opposition to the pipeline, wanted to wait till after next year’s elections to decide whether to proceed. Republicans shrewdly linked the pipeline to the payroll tax, and now the president must approve construction within 60 days or say that it’s not in the national interest to do so. That ought to be an easy call. ... Second news flash: If the U.S. doesn’t buy the Canadian oil sands stuff, someone else will. That someone is probably China, whose energy needs have grown rapidly as its economy modernizes. Do we really need to give the Chinese one more competitive advantage? It speaks poorly of House Republicans that they almost seized defeat from the jaws of victory when they voted against the bill. Only when other Republicans talked them off the ledge did the House relent. The wisdom of the two-month payroll tax break may be questionable, but getting a quick pipeline decision was an obvious victory. How sad that hard-core House Republicans can’t recognize a win when they see it. — Enterprise-Journal, McComb

Sound Off Broken heart cured after lost bracelet is returned On Christmas Eve I received an original clay bead bracelet from my daughter. That evening I went to the movies with my sisters. After I got home I noticed my bracelet was missing. After searching everywhere I decided I must have lost it at the theater. I had a broken heart because I just knew I would never see it again. As a last resort, on Christmas Day, I stopped by the Malco theater with very little hope of finding my lost bracelet. The associate there checked and brought out my clay bracelet. I was so excited. I am very thankful to the person at the Malco theater who found my bracelet and turned it in. It is nice to know there are still honest people in this town. Gwen Haynes CR 753, Corinth

Santorum may be getting a ‘first look’ In a Republican nomination contest full of “second looks,” former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum may be heading toward a “first look” in the finale of the Iowa caucuses. If you watched any of the Republican debates, you saw Santorum, a 53-year-old Catholic father of seven. He was the guy standing at the end of the candidate lineup complaining about not getting enough questions. Newt Gingrich clawed back into contention by scorching debate moderators for their bias and stupidity; Santorum stayed in the second tier while scolding moderators for not paying more attention to him. It wasn’t the best forensic tack, but Santorum’s frustration was understandable. It had to irk him to watch the ill-informed novice Herman Cain soar to the top of the polls on the basis of his booming personality and unworkable 9-9-9 tax plan, then get showered with donations when past allegations of sexual harassment surfaced. If a fraction of that windfall had gone to Santorum simply for being a principled conservative and exemplary family man, he’d have more resources to compete in the intense Iowa ad wars.

Santorum is the great paradox of the Republican field: At a time when primary Rich voters say Lowery they are desperate for National Review a candidate of conviction and consistency, Santorum is both on a range of issues, yet hasn’t had a proverbial moment. Too earnest and too conventional, he lacks the personal pizzazz that has temporarily boosted the Republican shooting stars. He’s worked to make up for it with an admirably tireless 99-county grass-roots campaign in Iowa that has taken voters and the issues seriously. Santorum’s calling card is his social conservatism, and he’s competing for Iowa’s evangelical voters with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. Santorum is more knowledgeable than Perry and more careful than Bachmann, while he has demonstrated more swing-state appeal than both by winning two statewide races in heavily Democratic Pennsylvania. His 18-point re-election shellacking in 2006 is his

albatross, although Ronald Reagan himself might have lost in Pennsylvania in that GOP annus horribilis. It didn’t help that Santorum’s outspokenness on social issues — especially those related to homosexuality — made him a figure of hatred and vulgar mockery on the left. But he’s not a thoughtless culture warrior, in it for the bombast. Santorum links his social conservatism to the struggles of the working class in one of the few thematic departures in a Republican primary that has been more about personalities and past heterodoxies than substantive differences. In the debates, Santorum has constantly talked about increasing economic mobility. In a heresy for a Republican, he’s acknowledged that some countries in Europe are more mobile than we are, and he has noted the disparity between the unemployment rates of college-educated and noncollege-educated Americans. Santorum proposes zeroing out the corporate tax rate for manufacturers to provide them a boost as a source of blue-collar jobs. “We need to talk about people at the bottom of the income scale being able to get necessary skills and

rise so they can support themselves and a family,” Santorum said at the CNBC economy debate. He’s right, although he is one of the few Republicans who seem determined to have the conversation. He’s always clear that the breakdown of the family is an inescapable factor in limiting economic aspiration. He cites the widely divergent poverty rates of two-parent and singleparent families. “You can’t have limited government,” he says, “if the family breaks down.” He speaks powerfully of how, growing up in a very modest home, a mother and father were “the most important gift I was given.” He wants to triple the personal deduction for each child, making his taxreform proposal the most pro-family of any on offer from the GOP candidates. Santorum has seen a slight bump in the Iowa polls. He is still grinding it out on the ground and hoping it translates into a lastminute surge. Republican voters could do worse, and so far this year, at times already have. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Raising taxes is a certain 2012 prediction According to the Mayan “long count” calendar, the final day on Earth is less than a year away, on Dec. 21, 2012. While we wait to see if that apocalypse occurs, a more reliable prediction includes an end of a different sort. The economic stimulus pipeline from Washington to the states is about to run dry. This means many governors can be expected to ask their legislatures, or voters, to raise taxes for “essential” programs. To government, all programs are “essential.” According to the National Taxpayers Union (NTU), Washington state is planning to put a tax-increase proposal on its ballot in March, while California voters are likely to vote in November on raising taxes. California is a certifiably insolvent state. It is in deep debt because Democratic politicians won’t stop spending, not because taxpayers aren’t paying their “fair share.” We are hearing — or will soon hear — that state governments have cut spending to the bone and disaster will occur if more is cut. It’s never true, but fear has always worked to squeeze more money out of the people who earn it.

True, Medicaid continues to be the main driver behind state spending, but that’s a reason Cal for fixing what Thomas ails Medicaid, not pouring Columnist more money into it. Consider construction projects, which are snarling traffic around the country. According to a study by 22 Gannett newspapers, published earlier this month in USA Today, “The federal government spends $40 billion a year on highway construction but does not track how many projects are over budget, how much goes toward overruns or whether the record is getting better or worse. The result is a patchwork pattern of planning lapses and design errors that sends some states back for more money again and again ...” In Connecticut, what critics call the “busway boondoggle” finds Gov. Dan Malloy, a Democrat, doubling down on a half-billiondollar project to create bus service between Hartford and New Britain. Republi-

can state Sen. Joe Markley notes buses between the suburbs and Hartford are “a lonely ride” and adds, “I don’t believe there is overwhelming need for more buses when the ones we have aren’t being used.” What a novel thought. It’s that way in many states as politicians spend federal money on wasteful and unnecessary projects and when the money runs out claim granny will be thrown off a cliff if state taxpayers don’t pony up for “essential” programs. Here’s one I’ll bet you didn’t know. Last week, the local news in Washington, D.C., showed pictures of a major water-main break in suburban Maryland. It seems to happen a lot, not only in the Washington area but, according to NTU, hundreds of times each year around the country. NTU estimates the breaks cost taxpayers $3 billion annually, not counting costs associated with traffic tie-ups, emergency equipment, lost time and depleted water supplies. What could be done to save money when it comes to broken water mains? Corrosion is the main cause

of the breaks due to old metallic pipes. NTU estimates the broken pipes are a $50.7 billion drain on the economy, not including the cost from lost water due to leaking or broken pipes. Utilities have generally replaced old corroded pipes with new ones made of the same or similar materials, which also corrode. Other non-corrosive options are available, and NTU estimates they could save between 30 percent and 70 percent on capital improvement plans. Since localities spent $103 billion on water supply and sewerage programs in 2009, that’s a lot of savings. Read all about it at ntu.org. All governments should be regularly audited by outside auditors. Their sole interest should be saving taxpayers money. Any program or agency that wastes money ought to be updated or eliminated. If taxpayers don’t force big government at the state and federal levels to go on a diet, the bloating will only continue to the detriment of our economic health.

State Charter school advocates look to change law BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Republican control of Mississippi government could bring a new charter school law, and supporters are working on proposals. Schools that are chartered get more operational freedom in exchange for agreeing to meet certain goals. Under current Mississippi law, only schools with subpar ratings for three consecutive years can be chartered, and only at parents’ request. No school in the state has been chartered under those rules. Opponents point to studies that show charter schools are no better than regular schools. Supporters want a more permissive law. But lawmakers will have to decide whether only the state will grant charters or whether others will also be able to create such schools. Also to be decided when the Legislature convenes next week: whether to only convert failing schools or allow new charter schools to be founded. For many of the people most involved in the debate over charter schools, the question is not whether Mississippi will get a new charter school law, but what the law will look like. The assumption is that Republicans, having gained control of both houses of the Legislature and holding the governor’s office, will loosen the state’s current law, which supporters of nontraditional schools deride for its restrictions.

“We think the likelihood of a charter bill passing the House and Senate is very good, and we’d like to have a good charter school bill,” said Nancy Loome, executive director of the Parents Campaign, which lobbies on education issues. Who gets to authorize charter schools could be a point of contention. Others could include how long a charter school gets to meet goals, where it could draw students from, and whether teachers would get the same pay and benefits as they do in regular public schools. Schools that are chartered are supposed to get more freedom in exchange for agreeing to meet certain goals. In exchange, the group that runs the school signs a contract, or charter, promising to meet certain goals. Advocates say it’s a great way to give parents a choice in public schools. “If public charter schools give a child yet another opportunity to succeed, we all will be better in Mississippi,” Gov.-elect Phil Bryant said in a statement. “We can’t afford to wait.” Detractors point to studies that show charter school academic results nationwide are not better than regular public schools, and in some cases are worse. A 2009 Stanford University study found students learned less in the typical charter school than peers in traditional public schools, though results varied from state to state. “I don’t see where they really do any better than public schools,” said state

Sen. David Jordan, DGreenwood. He favors more funding for prekindergarten programs as a better way of attacking educational deficiencies. Nationwide, there are 5,600 charter schools enrolling more than 2 million students, according to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. Mississippi is among 40 states that allow charter schools. But the state has none, unlike the other 39 states. Under Mississippi law, a school that doesn’t meet state standards for three years in a row can be chartered if a majority of parents vote to seek an application to convert the school to new management. The law is only two years old. As many as 82 schools could become eligible for chartering after the end of this school year, when grades for a third year are added. But the earliest a converted school could open is the start of the 2013-2014 school year, if the state Board of Education grants a charter. Forest Thigpen, executive director of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy, says the current law makes it so hard to set up and run a charter school that the statute is essentially a “counterfeit,” a way to say Mississippi allows charter schools without creating any. His conservative-leaning group favors relatively free creation of charter schools as a way to provide options even in districts that do a good job. “We believe that parents

ought to have the ability to choose a school that best meets their child’s needs,” Thigpen said. Thigpen favors allowing both state and local school boards to bless charters. “Generally speaking, the more authorizers there are, the more chance there will be to have a good variety of charter schools,” he said. At least two other proposals, one by the Parents Campaign and another by the public policy group Mississippi First, would allow only the state Board of Education to create charter schools. Rachel Canter, executive director of Mississippi First, said that although the Stanford study had disappointing results nationwide, it showed that charter schools in some states outperformed traditional peers. One factor those states had in common was having only one chartering entity, preventing school operators for shopping for the most permissive regulator. “It matters what happens at the state level,” Canter said. Another question is

whether charter schools should be allowed statewide, or be limited to districts that are failing state standards. “Where students already have good options, it’s not a good use of resources,” said the Parents Campaign’s Loome, citing tight state budgets. The Parents Campaign proposal is backed by education reform advocate Claiborne Barksdale. It is likely to be endorsed as part of the Mississippi Economic Council’s goal-setting exercise, called Blueprint. It would allow the state to charter any school that had been rated less than “successful” for two straight years. Attendance would mostly be limited to children living within the school’s attendance zone, which would avoid problems under federal desegregation decrees. It would grant charters only to entities with “a track record of success in operating charter schools,” meaning that out-of-state charter operators would have to be involved, since Mississippi has no charter schools now.

“You know you’re getting a charter school that’s going to be academically solid and well-run,” Barksdale said. “They would be out-of-state entities, but so what? Toyota is an out-of-state entity, but we’re mighty glad to have them.” Mississippi First wants to chart a middle course between the more permissive approach of Thigpen’s group and the restrictions of the Parents Campaign. Canter says that converting failing schools to charters may not be a good idea, saying it’s easier to make a clean break with the past by creating an entirely new school. She says some of the most successful charter operators avoid taking over failing schools. Canter says good operators must be selected on the front end because it can be difficult to shut poorly performing charter schools, just as making big changes to poorly performing traditional schools can raise a ruckus. “Every school, no matter how dismal, has a committed group of supporters,” she said.

Last-minute holiday shopping gives lift BY ANNE D’INNOCENZIO Associated Press

NEW YORK — The holiday shopping season turned out to be two seasons split by a big lull. A surge in buying in the two weeks before Christmas coupled with a recordbreaking Black Friday gave retailers a solid season. The doldrums between the buying binges show how shoppers have learned to wait for the discounts they know will come. For Dec. 1-24, spending rose 4.7 percent compared with the same period last year, according to research firm ShopperTrak. In November, it rose 4.1 percent. A 4 percent increase is considered a successful sea-

son. A combined figure for the whole season won’t be available until after Dec. 31. The increase is good news for the economy, because it shows shoppers were willing and able to fund a holiday splurge. Consumer spending, including major items such as health care, accounts for 70 percent of the economy. Still, plenty of shoppers are pinched for cash in the slow economic recovery, and were seeking the best deals. Stores have trained even shoppers who are primed to spend to look for a discount. In the week before Christmas, last-minute shoppers gave retailers a 4.5 percent increase in revenue at stores open at least

a year with the same week last year, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs Weekly Chain Store Sales Index. The index estimates sales at 24 major stores including Macy’s Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corp. Revenue at stores open at least a year is an important measurement of a retailer’s performance because it excludes the effects of stores that open or close during the year. Total retail revenue for the week ended Saturday rose 14.8 percent compared with the year ago, ShopperTrak estimates.

U.S. job market ends year in better shape BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The long-suffering job market is ending the year better off than it began. The number of people applying for unemployment benefits each week has dropped by 10 percent since January. The unemployment rate, 8.6 percent in November, is at its lowest level in nearly three years. Factory output is rising, business owners say they’re more optimistic about hiring and consumer confidence has jumped to its highest level since April. Even the beleaguered housing market is looking slightly better. “We are ending the year on an up note,” says Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. Still, 25 million Americans remain out of work or unable to find full-time jobs. Most analysts forecast a stronger economy and job growth in 2012 — and rule out a second recession — but they caution that could change if Europe’s debt crisis worsens or consumers pull back on spending. On Thursday, the Labor Department said the num-

ber of people applying for unemployment benefits last week rose 15,000 to 381,000. But the fourweek average, a less volatile measure, dropped to 375,000 — the lowest level since June 2008. When applications for unemployment benefits consistently fall below 375,000, economists consider it a reasonable sign that hiring is rising enough to push the unemployment rate lower. The four-week average has remained below 400,000 for seven weeks, the longest stretch since April. A mildly positive report on housing also came out on Thursday. The National Association of Realtors said the number of people who signed contracts to buy homes rose in November to its highest level in a year and a half. The association sought to temper enthusiasm by noting that the number of canceled contracts is also on the rise. But financial markets seized on the good news in both reports. The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 113 points in afternoon trading.

“The recovery in the labor market is maintaining its momentum,” says Michael Gapen, an economist at Barclays Capital. That’s noteworthy for an economy faced with a debt crisis in Europe and, as recently as last summer, scattered predictions of a second recession at home. There was plenty of reason for gloom. A political standoff over the federal borrowing limit brought the United States to the brink of default and cost the nation its top-drawer credit rating. Most analysts now say another recession is unlikely. The economy likely grew at an annual rate of 3 percent or more in the final three months of this year, analysts say. That would top the 1.8 percent growth rate in the July-September quarter, and the 0.9 percent growth rate in the first half of the year. Employers have added an average of 143,000 net jobs a month from September through November. That’s almost double the pace for the previous three months. Although it’s below the pace from the first quarter of 2011.

Unemployment claims rise after steady declines BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The number of people seeking unemployment benefits rose last week after three weeks of decline. Even with the gain, applications remained at a level consistent with modest hiring. And the broader trend over the past month suggests job growth could pick up further in the new year. Weekly applications increased by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 381,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, dropped for the fourth straight week to 375,000. That’s the lowest level since June 2008.

“Despite the rise in the weekly claims data, the longer-term trend ... suggests that the recovery in the labor market is maintaining its momentum,” said Michael Gapen, an economist at Barclays Capital, in a note to clients. Applications generally must fall below 375,000 — consistently — to signal that hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate. While layoffs have fallen sharply since the recession officially ended two and a half years ago, many companies have been slow to add jobs. Economists caution that the figures can be volatile around the holidays. The data for seven states, including California and Virginia, were estimated because of the Monday holiday, a Labor Department spokesman said. Those estimates

have in the past proven reliable, the spokesman said, and haven’t required major revision. Hiring has improved in recent months. Employers have added an average of 143,000 net jobs a month from September through November. That’s almost double the average for the previous three months. Next year should be even better. A survey of 36 economists by the Associated Press this month found that they expect the economy will generate an average of about 175,000 jobs per month in 2012. More small businesses plan to hire than at any time in three years, a trade group said earlier this month. And a separate private-sector survey found more companies are planning to add workers in the first quarter of next year than at any time since 2008.

A tough 2011 One of Ihab Salibâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs is to bet against the U.S. dollar. The Federated International Bond Fund he manages holds no dollars and therefore no Treasurys. The fund is also supposed to stick to countries with the highest credit ratings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has led it to some of the countries in Europe. In normal times, placing a quarter of the fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets in countries like France and Germany is no big deal. But this year, Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt crisis spread beyond Greece to its stronger economies. And it sent investors in search of bets that seemed safer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S dollars and Treasurys. Salibâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond fund has returned 2.8 percent for the year, but the index itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compared against, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, is up 7.7 percent. Salib recently talked with The Associated Press about international investing. you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invest in the rest of the world, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really missing out.

Why did your fund fall behind the Barclays Capital index? This year had some similarities to 2008. You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actively trade for a large part of the year because trading was so volatile. Liquidity wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even there. And when trading dries up it makes it very hard to keep up with the benchmark (index). There was also the strength of the dollar. We have zero dollar exposure. In years when the dollar really sells off we look great. In years when the dollar rallies, which it did in this case, we go down.

Were there any other specific bets you made that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work? We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate interest rates would go down (and bond prices to rise) as much as they have. Did you expect the European debt crisis to blow over? No, not at all. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moved from the weaker countries to the stronger, larger ones, Belgium, France and Austria. It has hit every government bond market but the U.S. ... I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was going to be this bad.

Your fund is meant to give U.S. investors a way to own foreign currencies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a way to diversify? Right. This shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be your entire portfolio. But every investor should have a portion of fixed-income (or bond) assets in developed markets and emerging markets. The U.S. bond market is around 30 percent of the global market. If

What do you expect in 2012? Globally, the central theme has been the shift in power from the developed world to the emerging powers. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the main story for many years to come.

The struggling construction business

Closing out a disappointing year

The construction industry has lost jobs in nearly half of 337 metropolitan areas from November of 2010 through last month, according to the Associated General Contractors of America. The trade group says more jobs are likely to be lost because of cuts in federal spending on construction. The group says the losses were scattered around the country. In New York, 4,900 jobs were lost, or 4 percent of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction payroll. Philadelphia lost 4,500, or 7 percent, and Wilmington, N.C., lost 1,900, or 21 percent. Among the areas that added jobs: Houston added 5,200, or 3 percent, the largest gain in the past year. Columbus, Ohio, added 3,900, or 14 percent, and Chicago gained 3,400, or 3 percent.

Many stock market strategists had high hopes for 2011. Some expected the S&P 500 to end the year at 1,500 or above. But with one trading day left, the S&P 500 is up just 0.4 percent for the year. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down 7.3 percent since April 29. That day the index closed at 1,363.61, its best finish since June 2008. Rising concern about the U.S. economy and Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt crisis had investors moving money out of stocks and into the safety of U.S. Treasurys. The S&P 500 is still down 19 percent from its record high of 1,565.15, reached Oct. 9, 2007. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also up 87 percent from the bottom of 676.53 it hit in March 2009.

AC Holiday Hoops Warriors rally for 12th straight BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — Corinth had to rally for a 12th consecutive win. CHS overcame a 15-1 deficit and held Cordova to just 11 second-half points in pulling out a 38-35 win in the Alcorn Central Holiday Hoops Tournament. Corinth (12-1) didn’t gain its first lead until the 4:22 mark of the fourth quarter. Guard Eric Richardson pushed the Warriors to the lead with a conventional three-point play and 34-33 advantage. The Warriors pushed the cushion to three (36-33) when Jose Contreras found Raheem Sorrell open underneath less than a minute later. Cordova, which jumped all over the Warriors in the first period, got within a point on a James Kilpatrick deuce with just 35 seconds remaining. The Wolves had a chance to go ahead when Corinth

turned the ball over. Cordova guard Kirby Franklin missed a jumper with 11 seconds left and Richardson converted the miss into an easy layup on the other end following a long pass from Deione Weeks. Kilpatrick, who led all scorers with 18 points, clanged a trying three at the buzzer. Cordova, playing with seven players following the suspension of a quartet of Wolves, held the Warriors without a field goal the first seven minutes of the first frame. Corinth’s lone tally was a Sorrell free throw until Desmin Harris knocked down a triple with 56 seconds left in the period. Corinth found itself in a 29-17 hole three minutes into the second half. The Warriors went on a 14-2 run, scoring seven straight to begin the final eight minutes, and evened the count at 31 when Richardson hit his lone three of the night. The loss was the second straight night in which the Wolves faltered down the stretch. They were outscored 16-4 on Wednesday night in losing to Alcorn Central by eight points.

• Jordan Wyke dropped in a game-high 32 points in leading Alcorn Central to a 74-59 victory past MHEA. The Bears put together a 9-0 spurt after MHEA pulled with 56-52 in the fourth. Jay Moore started the run with a three-point play. Trevor Smith added four straight and Wyke drained two at the charity stripe in the streak. Wyke scored 17 in the first half to keep the Bears close. MHEA led 30-28 at intermission. • The Lady Bears outscored MAHS 20-0 over a second-quarter stretch to collect its second straight win in the tournament. Katie Foster had six points in the run while Makayla Voyles and Alex Madahar knocked down threes.

BATON ROUGE, La. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Amid the euphoria of No. 1 LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over secondranked Alabama earlier this season, offensive coordinator and line coach Greg Studrawa was concerned about the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inability to run inside against the Crimson Tide. Studrawa and his linemen say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re motivated to change that going into the BCS title game rematch in New Orleans on Jan. 9. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we played well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that simple,â&#x20AC;? Studrawa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give credit to Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good defense, no doubt, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played good defenses before. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t execute as well as we wanted to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great thing is, these guys know they can do better, and so do I,â&#x20AC;? Studrawa continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call a better game and get them in position to make better plays. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play better. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident that we can.â&#x20AC;? LSU, which averaged 215 yards rushing this season, had 148 at Alabama, matching a season low in a 9-6 overtime victory in which neither team scored a touchdown. Most of LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runs against the Tide were option plays to the outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won the game but we lost up front and we want that to be different this time,â&#x20AC;? left tackle Chris Faulk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a good job coming off the ball.â&#x20AC;?

Titans coach Munchak aiming for playoffs BY TERESA M. WALKER The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Munchak takes his Tennessee Titans to Houston with a chance Sunday to cap his first season as an NFL head coach with a playoff berth. It seems only appropriate that Munchak lead the franchise to its first playoff berth since 2008 and at least its third winning record in eight years in the city where he started his pro career and was a highly successful businessman off the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our thinking from the beginning was playoffs,â&#x20AC;? Munchak said. Winning the AFC South was the top goal, but the Titans (8-7) are alive going into the regular season finale against the divisional champs in a year where Munchak was the last NFL coach

hired in February and had no offseason to work with his team due to the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lockout. Tennessee must beat Houston (10-5) and then have Cincinnati lose along with a combination of losses by either the Jets, Denver or Oakland to earn the AFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth seed. That would make Munchak the fifth coach in team history to lead this franchise to the playoffs in his first season. Jack Pardee was the last in 1990 with the then-Houston Oilers with a 9-7 record as a wild card. Munchak isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to look at the games his Titans could have or should have won. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are what we are. We earned what we are going to get, and we are hoping that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9-7. We will build off of this,â&#x20AC;? Munchak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, this is a playoff opportunity for us, but we will see.â&#x20AC;?

As a head coach, Munchak couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more different than the man he replaced in Jeff Fisher, who was much more fired up on game day whether yelling at officials or trying to boost his team. Munchakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calm sideline demeanor has drawn criticism over the past month as the Titans became the first team to lose to previously winless Indianapolis. Right guard Jake Scott, who had Munchak as his position coach since 2008, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen no changes in Munchak in the move from assistant to head coach. Scott still sees a calm, cool-headed man and said any inconsistencies from the Titans this season can be blamed on the players and not Munchak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played for head coaches that do both, and you just have to be yourself,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not genuine, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what shows.

I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very genuine. Everyone in this room respects him for it, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that really matters.â&#x20AC;? Safety Chris Hope, one of 23 Titans in the final year of his contract, agreed. Munchakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resume as a player speaks loud enough that the coach doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to yell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but respect the way he carries himself and makes you want to play hard for him,â&#x20AC;? Hope said. Munchakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success has made him a popular target to become head coach at his alma mater Penn State, and he tried again Wednesday to squash such talk saying heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committed to Tennessee. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more focused on learning daily how to become a better head coach, even to the point of grading how he performs in each game.

Positions of the Republican candidates, in brief BY CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A look at where the 2012 Republican presidential candidates stand on a selection of issues. They are Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Utah Gov. John Huntsman, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. ABORTION: Bachmann: Backed efforts to declare the unborn â&#x20AC;&#x153;personsâ&#x20AC;? under the Constitution, the most direct challenge to the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affirmation of abortion rights. Gingrich: Platform calls for conservative judges and no subsidies for abortion but not a constitutional abortion ban. Huntsman: Signed abortion restrictions into law as governor, favors constitutional abortion ban. Paul: Says federal government should have no authority either to legalize or ban abortion. Perry: Now supports constitutional abortion ban after saying states should decide their own laws on such issues. Romney: Says Roe v. Wade should be reversed by a future Supreme Court and states should decide their own abortion laws. Santorum: Favors constitutional abortion ban and opposes abortion even in cases of rape. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

DEBT: Bachmann: Opposed the agreement worked out by Congress and the White House to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a default. Gingrich: As House speaker in 1990s, engineered passage of a sevenyear balanced-budget plan. It was vetoed but helped form a bipartisan balanced

budget later.

Says emission standards should be set by states or regions. Perry: EPA should be â&#x20AC;&#x153;research and advisoryâ&#x20AC;? agency with no enforcement powers except when states seek arbitration of regional disputes.

Cap and trade would â&#x20AC;&#x153;rocket energy prices.â&#x20AC;?

Daily Corinthian • Friday, December 30, 2011 • 11A

BY TOM PARSON Park Ranger

(Editor’s Note: This is the second of a nine-part series of frequently overlooked Civil War era sites in and around Corinth.) No, it’s not that kind of a battery. You can’t put it in a flashlight or a digital camera, but you can visit it on Davis Street to the northeast of the Magnolia Regional Hospital. Back in the Civil War days the word battery had two definitions: a grouping of artillery pieces for tactical purposes; or, any place where cannon or mortars are mounted. In this case, we use the second meaning. Thank you Mr. Webster. Some folks like to claim the Civil War saw the first use of earthworks for military defense, at least on a large scale. These claims are wrong on both counts as any Roman legionnaire would be glad to tell you. But there is no denying the widespread use of earthworks during the American conflict. Most of the great trenches and forts were torn down or plowed under after the war but there are numerous surviving examples, many right here in Corinth. In the spring of 1862 Confederates built a defensive line of earthworks roughly seven miles long. The line began northwest of town and in a great semi circle stretched around to the southeast. It was built to protect the soldiers during a battle that never happened. At the end of May ’62 the

Titanic artifacts headed to auction BY STEVE SZKOTAK Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — The owner of the largest trove of artifacts salvaged from the Titanic is putting the vast collection up for auction as a single lot in 2012, the 100th anniversary of the world’s most famous shipwreck. More than 5,500 items including fine china, ship fittings and portions of hull that were recovered from the ocean liner have an estimated value of $189 million, according to Premier Exhibitions Inc., parent of RMS Titanic Inc. — the Titanic’s courtapproved salvor. That value was based on a 2007 appraisal and does not include intellectual property gathered from a 2010 scientific expedition that mapped the wreck site. The auction is scheduled for April 1 by Guernsey’s, a New York City auction house, according to filings by Premier Exhibitions Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of the auction won’t be announced until April 15, the date a century ago the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage after striking an iceberg.

Southern army left Corinth and the Federal armies moved in. The Union commander, Henry Halleck, or “Old Brains” as he was called behind his back, thought it a good idea to continue work on the entrenchments. His plan would completely encircle the town of Corinth. Halleck had his West Point trained engineers select sites for six forts, each in a position to defend Corinth from an attack along one of the important roads leading into town. Each fort, or Battery, would be large enough to hold several cannon. Once completed the Battery’s would be connected by rifle pits. Work began and as the forts took shape they were given names; Battery A through Battery F. In July of ’62 Halleck was promoted and given a new job desk in Washington, D.C. He was replaced by General Grant who was not too keen on Halleck’s fortification plans, claiming “They were laid out on a scale that would have required 100,000 men to fully man them.” He was right, and Grant didn’t have nearly that many men in Corinth. As a consequence, the forts were finished but they were never connected by the smaller rifle pits. Only one of the six forts was ever put to the military test; Battery F. It was located on a ridge a mile and a half northwest of the railroad junction, in an excellent position to guard against an enemy approaching along

the Memphis & Charleston tracks. On October 3, 1862, the first day of the Battle of Corinth, a Confederate brigade under Brigadier General John C. Moore approached the position from the north. He had nearly 2,000 men from Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri and Texas. They were intent on reaching Corinth and Battery F was in their way. Inside the fort were two cannon from an Ohio unit with four more just outside manned by men from Minnesota and Illinois. There was some artillery action but the real fight was between Moore’s troops and an all Iowa brigade led by Colonel Marcellus Crocker. The Hawkeyes, slightly outnumbered by the Confederates, made good use of the high ground and fought the Southerners to a standstill in a 45-minute stand up fight. Eventually Southern gains on other parts of the battlefield forced the Union troops to retire to fortifications near the Corona Female College. The fighting at Battery F was over. (Directions to Battery F, as well as detailed accounts of the fighting, can be picked up at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, a unit of Shiloh National Military Park. The visitor center is located at 501 West Linden Street and open daily from 8:30 to 4:30. Park staff can be reached at 662-287-9273.)

What do you believe? One man said to his friend, “What do you believe about God?” About God? “I believe what my Church believes.” Is it the word of God? “What does your church believe?” Is it the word of God? Well, “My church believes what I believe.” Surely, you have read your Bible - learning what to believe. “What do you and your church believe?” The Bible makes known to us the will of God. Well, “We both believe the same thing.” Is it the word of God? It is sad to say, but this is about all some people know about God and His written word. Many, it seems, are depending on someone else to do their study of the Bible. The Bible speaks, “and with all deceivableness of unrighteous in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved, and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thess. 2:10-12). “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God - the Spirit speaks through the written word - because many false prophets - teachers - are gone out into the world” (I John 4:1). The correct guidance for our life, must come from the Holy scripture. No church or person can provide correct instruction in this life. We must turn to the Inspired word of God. The Bible - “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put conﬁdence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put conﬁdence in princes - some great leader” (Psalms 118:8-9). “...for if ye believe not that I am he - Christ - ye shall die in your sins” (John 8:24). No one should want to die in their sins. Christ died on the cross - a horrible death - that mankind could have forgiveness of sins. Those who believe that Christ is the son of God - must repent - turn away from their sins - confess the name of Christ - now a subject to be baptized for the remission of sins. This is not church instruction or man instruction. It is the Bible truth. Please read Acts 2:14-47. What can we learn? The Bible instruction is correct. Please study your Bible for your own good.

40-year anniversary present received with a greatful heart Have you ever been just absolutely surprised and you felt so good, you didn’t know what to do? That was the type experience my husband and I shared last Sunday night, preceding our 40th wedding anniversary on Monday. Folks probably get tired of hearing my mushy, personal stories, but I must share briefly at least one more chapter of my life. Last Sunday morning I cooked breakfast as is our family tradition, and thankfully, our kids and grandchildren gathered around the table to celebrate another Christmas together. What a joy to hear the little ones volunteer to say the blessing and share in the joy of the season, acknowledging God as the giver of all good things. Afterwards we opened Christmas gifts, some store-bought and some handmade, but each one being chosen and suited for a specific person. Following the gifts, we parted ways for church services and other family celebrations. As is a custom these last few years, our kids and grandkids came back Christmas night to eat a light supper and “play” a while. Much to my surprise, when we sat down in the living room after eating, our kids presented

Lora Ann Huff The Back Porch

Hansford and me with a gift and cards for our anniversary and then told us to get seated comfortably because they had a sur-

prise for us. Beginning with pictures made when my husband and I were babies, the kids had made a video presentation which took us through the stages of our lives up until December of this year. Forty years of memories of our life together were packed into the video, set to music beginning with scriptures from I Corinthians 13 and followed by songs by Elvis Presley and Don Williams. We were just swept away! Of course, we cried! Wouldn’t you? But the tears were happy tears of gratitude. As pictures of each of our four kids were added in succession, our smiles got bigger -- and the grown children’s did, too. And the little ones got the biggest thrill out of seeing their parents when they were younger, watching for hairdo’s and clothes of their growingup years. When the story ended, my husband explained how much he appreciated

the work they had done and how blessed we are to have them in our 40-year history together. It was a good night together and a memory we will cherish as long as we live. …But it’s so hard to believe 40 years have gone by so quickly. Scriptures in the Book of James speak to the short time we are allotted on our earthly journey. Although I’ve never really liked the reality of the words, in chapter 4, verse 14, James says, “…What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” (NIV) That may be kind of a slap in the face, but it gives me a sense of urgency to make a difference in the short time I have. I want to be a good influence in the lives of my family members and the people around me for as long as I can. …So thanks for listening to another piece of my grateful heart this season. Like many of my readers who are equally as blessed, I am so thankful that God is merciful and has given us much more than we ever deserved.

Military wives turning to Bible for advice about marriage issues BY KRISTIN M. HALL Associated Press

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — With husbands deployed or off preparing for war, some young wives at this sprawling Army installation have spent much of their marriages so far alone. Faced with long periods of separation and worry over the next combat tour, a group of wives mostly in their late 20s and early 30s are drawn together weekly to seek spiritual support to bolster the strength of their marriages. Mya Parker, 27, saw both sides of the average military marriage and the strain that years of combat duty can do to a relationship. She served in the Army for four years on active duty before helping to start the Lantern, a nondenominational faith group for military wives

and girlfriends outside Fort Campbell, Ky. “The military, because of the complexities of the deployment, can have more uncertainties,” she said. “The reason God is the answer is because scripture says that He has never changed. From the beginning of time to the end of time, He is unchanging.” While not solely sponsored by any one church, these wives meet weekly in small, informal groups of eight to 12 at their homes to study the Bible’s teachings and how to apply them to today’s modern military marriage. During her Army career, Parker saw deployed husbands anxious about their wives back home and wives struggling to communicate with husbands a world away. In the privacy of these small weekly gatherings,

the wives don’t hold back their fears about the realities of war. “We don’t sugar-coat it and say, ‘Oh, it will be great, it will be fine. This deployment is going to fly by.’ To be honest, it’s hard and you have good days and bad days,” said Mandy Costello, 29, who has been married five years through her husband’s three deployments. With the support of other wives, Parker said a deployment can also be a blessing if women take the opportunity to grow in their faith and their marriages. “My number one piece of advice, even if someone didn’t grow up in the church and isn’t a believer, is to really take the time. Deployment is an amazing time to pursue a relationship with God for maybe the first time,” she said.

We, as Christians, need to be prepared BY GARY ANDREWS gary@gadevotionals.com

When I was a young boy I had the opportunity of being in the Boy Scouts. It is a tremendous organization. I learned about God and Country and the respect and love I am to give to each one. The slogan “Be Prepared” will forever be etched into my mind and how precious this slogan has been to me over the years. As I became an adult and went through my military training, the “Be Prepared” slogan meant more to me than I ever thought it would, especially going into a combat or hostile environment half-way around the world. Leaving the military and going into the business world, getting married and raising a family has always given me the opportunity of remembering and using this slogan. I am an advocate of the scouting programs, boys and girls, and the training and lessons these young people receive from them. Neither program seems to be as popular as they once were because the teachings of these organizations challenge what many facets of this sinful world want. Many immoral and unethical values are being pushed on these programs because Satan is having his way with so many people in

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday – Luke 21:1-19; Monday – Hosea 10:12; Tuesday – 1 Peter 1:13-21; Wednesday – Joshua 3:5; Thursday – Ephesians 6:10-18; Friday – Ecclesiastes – 11:1-6; Saturday – Mark 1:2-8. the world who look to him instead of God. Not only are the scouting programs being targeted by these ungodly people, so are our public arenas, government, schools, churches and religious organizations. We as Christians need to always “Be Prepared” because Satan is hurling insults and innuendoes at us at every possible opportunity. Jesus tells us in Luke 21:8; “Watch out that you are not deceived…”; then in Luke 21:12; “…they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.” This passage in Luke is when Jesus is speaking with some of His disciples about the signs of the end of time. People, all we have to do is read God’s Word and our future is foretold. We all need to look around us and see what is happening in the world. We need to understand our God-given rights and freedoms are being taken away and we, as Christians, are standing

around and letting this happen. I feel it is very important we continue Boy and Girl Scouts and allow them to be taught about God and Country. We, as a Christian nation, need to adopt the scout motto of “Be Prepared” because at any given time this world can cease being and our time will be gone for us to accept Jesus as our Savior and live with Him throughout eternity. Are you prepared for what will happen to your soul should Jesus come today? Prayer: Father thank you for your love. Thank you for saving grace that allows sinners such as I to leave this sinful world and live with you for eternity. Amen.

Today in history

Needy mom holds daughter back DEAR ABBY: I’m a 25-year-old woman with no future. I am the youngest of three daughters. My parents are divorced and my sisters are both married. Mom has no income of her own, so it’s mainly me. I have come to realize that I’ll never be able to have an apartment of my own or fully live my life because of her. She’s controlling and always finds a way to make me feel guilty about going out or enjoying myself. I have never had a relationship because she has always found a way of sabotaging any relationship I’m in. I think she’s bipolar, but she doesn’t believe in medication or that it’s even real. I feel as if I’m being forced to take care of her, and when I finally have a chance to have a real life, it will be too late. I have discussed this with my sisters, but they haven’t helped. I’m very depressed and don’t know what to do. If I bring this up with Mom, she gets angry and won’t talk to me for days. Please help me find a way out. —

TRAPPED IN CHICAGO DEAR TRAPPED: Your umbilical cord was supposed to have been severed 25 years ago, at birth. You are an adult individual who deserves happiness and freedom from this attachment to your mother. She may not believe in doctors and therapists — and that’s her privilege as long as she’s not a danger to herself and others. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t talk with a mental health professional about this unhealthy situation. Your sisters haven’t helped you because they have their freedom and don’t want to share the responsibility you have been carrying alone. And your mother doesn’t want to let go of you because if she does, she’ll have to assume responsibility for herself. Please act now. Your escape hatch is the door to a therapist’s office. You deserve a life, so go there and get one. DEAR ABBY: I recently found out that my boyfriend of three years — the only man I have ever

been with — cheated on me with a woman I thought was a good Abigail friend. I Van Buren love him and have Dear Abby decided to take him back and fight for what we had. He assured me that he wants to be only with me, that what he did was “stupid” and he has learned his lesson. Abby, although I have forgiven him, I can’t bring myself to forgive her. I have never been someone who holds a grudge, but I have so much hate for her that it scares me. I did get professional help, but it didn’t work. I don’t want to be like this. This is not who I am. I’m worried about how I might react when I see her. I can’t avoid her since we work in the same industry. Why can I forgive him but not her? — MOVING FORWARD IN TEXAS DEAR MOVING FORWARD: Probably because having invested three

years in the “only man you have ever been with,” you don’t want it to have been for nothing — so you’re directing the anger you still feel toward him at the woman you would like to imagine seduced him. (Remember, it takes two to tango.) Also, you may still regard her as a threat. While you may have forgiven your boyfriend, do not forget what happened. A man who cheats and blames it on “stupidity” may do it again with someone else. You need to understand why he did what he did. Is he someone who lives only in the moment? Did he not consider how it would affect you? Is he capable of fidelity in the long run? From my perspective, you need answers to these questions because you may only now be getting to know who he really is. (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.)

have the courage and the power to accomplish your goal. The question is: Do you have the stamina? Will you keep going even after it’s not as fun, glamorous or new? Today you prove that you will. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll see the first signs that someone is attracted to you, and you’ll enjoy the attention to the extent that it’s appropriate for your life. You’ll take everyone’s feelings into account. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will be easier for you to achieve at the level of your high standards when those around you, especially your nearest and dearest, have high standards, as well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There will be many distractions, but ultimately, you control your focus. Be strong and centered on the mission. It’s all that matters. Do what is necessary to finish what you set out to accomplish. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Think ahead as much as possible. It will save you energy. Having to react to things in the spur of the moment will be more stressful than knowing what you’re going to do beforehand. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). It’s the perfect

day to get away from the habits that usually serve you so well. Shaking things up reminds you of who you really are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Not only do you have the ability and desire to make something happen, but you have other intangible qualities that, when seen by the right people, will cause doors to fly open and opportunities to fly forth. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You’ll rely on your own curious mix of charm and timing. You’ll enter circles and interact for just the amount of time it takes to make a connection. Then you’ll leave while the going is good. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can change what’s going on between people in your family just by choosing new reactions. Your loved ones will respond to you, especially when you are acting in unexpected ways. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 30). You’ll be part of a winning group this year. January brings a run of good luck that seems almost too easy, but the truth is that you’ve been working your whole life for it. You’ll embark on a mission in February. In March, celebrate your relationship with someone who

shares your cherished values. Invest in June. Aquarius and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 44, 8, 32, 39 and 18. WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Instead of waiting around to see who floats into your life, you go after the one you want. TAURUS: The right entertainment will set a tone for the perfect date night. GEMINI: Many will try to win you over this weekend. CANCER: You’ll dress to impress and turn a few heads. LEO: You’ll have many topics to discuss with your potential sweetheart. VIRGO: A strong energy radiates from you. LIBRA: You’ll receive the smiling, open body language that tells you to approach. SCORPIO: The little arguments may not seem to matter, but they do. Try to relate in a positive way. SAGITTARIUS: You’ll take charge of your love life. CAPRICORN: Your family traditions will figure into the weekend. AQUARIUS: The way you share downtime with a loved one will feel safe. PISCES: You’ll take on a challenge.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank so many for what they have done for Ray and myself since our horrific accident October 14. I could not possibly name everyone, so if you see this and helped in anyway, please know this is for you. I suffered a broken neck and blood clot on the brain and had two surgeries to correct this. At present, I am still pretty much confined to home as I recover. I attribute my recovery so far to God, the prayers that have gone up for me and the world’s best caregiver, my husband Ray.

Your phone calls, cards, visits, food, and other gifts have made my long recovery bearable. A special thanks to my church, Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church, the Pink Ladies at MRHC, my friends, and wonderful family. Thank you is simply not adequate, but I appreciate you with all my heart. I should also mention all of you who made the long drive to the Huntsville Hospital to be with us.
