Cleanup at the “old Moses” property is poised to move for-ward.

Corinth Building Inspector Greg Tyson reported this week that the property owner has

an asbestos contractor ready to begin work, and the owner has reached an agreement with a contractor to remove what’s left of the main part of the building.

“The whole upper section is fi xing to be gone,” Tyson told

the Board of Aldermen.A recent examination of the fi re-damaged building deter-mined that some asbestos is present.

The auto shop in the back part of the property will re-main.

For safety and other con-cerns, the city has pressed for cleanup of the large complex at South Tate and U.S. Highway 72.

Tate Baptist Church is hop-ing local youngsters will “Be a Buddy – Make a Friend” while at school.

In effort to promote the goal, a group of church members made 11 Buddy Benches to be placed at elementary cam-puses in Corinth and Alcorn County.

The making of each Buddy Bench is part of the “Tate Cares” service program done each July throughout the com-munity.

“We were looking for a way to help the community,” said outreach secretary Jean Jones. “Earl (Owens) took it and ran with it.”

“It turned out to be a pretty big project,” added Owens.

Each bench has Buddy painted on it with colorful handprints and the phrase “Be a Friend” on the sitting area. It also has Tate Baptist placed the bench on the back.

Jamey Bragg did all the art-work on the benches, accord-ing to Owens.

Members of the Buddy Bench Project are Richard Tenhet, Maury Sanders, Jerry Pratt, Stan Plaxico, Michaela Roberts, Bragg, Jones and Ow-ens.

“Our hope is for children to care for one another and be a friend,” said Jones. “So many

children are shunned today and have no friends.”

A Buddy Bench is a simple project used to eliminate lone-liness and foster friendship on the playground.

Christian Bucks came up with the idea of the bench while a second grader in York,

Pa. His idea was to have a bench on the playground des-ignated for students who aren’t sure who to play with, who to talk to or who just want to as-sess a situation before joining in a group.

The bench would be a place to meet and play with new

friends.“It’s not an original idea, but

something we wanted to be-come part of “Tate Cares,’” said Owens.

(More information can be found on the Buddy Bench at buddybench.org.)

Earl Owens and several members of the Buddy Bench Project have made 11 benches to be placed at elementary schools in Corinth and Alcorn County.

“We are going to need help.”Those were the words of

Salvation Army Director Mi-chelle Miles on Thursday.

Thirty-one names on the agency’s Angel Tree have yet to be turned in at the Dec. 17 deadline.

“I hope and pray they have just forgot about the dead-line,” said Miles. “Right now, I am panicking … we need those angels back as as soon as possible.”

The Angel Tree contained 89 names when it was placed on Nov. 30. Each child’s name along with clothing sizes and particular toy desired are placed on the tree in the form of a Christmas-type ornament.

Miles also had to send out 21 names after their bag was turned into the agency. The bags came back with no clothes or only one toy.

“Clothing needs to be met fi rst,” said Miles. “Those who adopt an angel need to buy clothing fi rst because that’s what kids need most.”

Half of the names fall in the age 0-5 age bracket while the other half consists of children 8-12 years-old this year.

“We need people to fi ll in the gap for these children,” said Miles. “We can’t minister to them if they are cold and have no clothes or shoes.”

With a change in name as well as membership, the VFW Ladies Auxiliary of Corinth will now be known simply as the VFW Auxiliary.

The decision was made dur-ing the 116th annual National Convention in Pittsburgh, Penn. by delegates of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW) and was passed as a resolution to amend their national Bylaws, allowing male family mem-bers to join the Ladies Auxil-iary VFW.

As president of VFW Post 3962, Edie Simpson ex-pressed her excitement for the change which took effect on Aug, 21.

“Though our former ladies auxiliary will continue to be open to female soldiers, we are looking forward to having men join us and have already had two or three express an interest in doing so,” she said. “They have not joined yet, but we are hopeful that they will. We still have our VFW Men’s Auxiliary, so now they will have a choice.”

Echoing her enthusiasm, VFW Auxiliary National Pres-ident Francisca Guilford an-nounced her appreciation for the decision.

“It’s an exciting time to be a member of the Auxiliary,” she said. “Women comprise nearly twenty percent of our

nation’s military, and this change allows all spouses, fathers, grand-fathers, sons, grandsons and brothers to serve others in honor of their veteran.”

“It not only expands the eligibil-ity of the organization’s members, it provides us a wonderful oppor-tunity to serve more veterans and promote patriotism in communi-ties across our great nation,” she added.

Those eligible to join are male or female relatives of someone who has served in overseas combat and are interested in serving veterans, active-duty military, their fami-lies, and their community in honor of the sacrifi ces and commitment of every man and woman who has served in uniform.

Established in 1914, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Auxiliary was created to serve the veterans of United States and its communities in honor of those who’ve served. The VFW Auxiliary is one of the

nation’s oldest veterans’ service organizations and its members are the relatives of those who have served in overseas combat. It has nearly 465,000 members na-tionwide who volunteer millions of hours and fund-raise millions of dollars for charitable projects which benefi t veterans, military service personnel, and their fami-lies.

Through its National Programs, the auxiliary assists with the VFW pass or block legislation which im-pacts veterans and their families, provides nearly a million volun-teer hours in the VA medical sys-tem, conducts patriotic programs with thousands of students and offers hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships for the nation’s youth. With more than 4,000 Auxiliaries, there is likely one nearby working to improve the lives of America’s uncommon heroes.

include: “Feliz Navidad”, Elvis’ “Blue Christmas”, “Silent Night”, “I’m Getting Nuttin for Christmas”, “Jin-gle Bell Rock”, a German dance march and other sea-sonal tunes.

In addition to festive mu-sic, there will also be an opportunity for children to participate in an art project in which they will create a special gift for their parents during rehearsal time. The last rehearsal is slated to be held from 4 to 6 p.m. tonight in the community center’s auditorium.

“We are visiting Missis-sippi Care Center and Cor-nerstone Health & Rehab Center at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., respectively,” said EOF Chairman Samuel Cray-ton, Jr. “Michelle Lyons, our producer has prepared the children to sing 10 to 12 songs for the fi nale and fi ve

to six songs for the nursing homes.”

Lyons has also collaborat-ed with Bruce Dobbs of the Corinth School District and his students to play a couple of Christmas instrumentals.

“The visit to the nursing homes brings a lot of joy to the residents,” said Crayton. “At the end of the program, the children hand out candy and take pictures with them. The joy and tears that come from the residents are over-whelming. Many of them do not have an opportunity to mingle with children ages fi ve through 18.”

“When entering the nurs-ing homes we make a cir-cle in the hallway singing Christmas songs to some-what announce our arrival on our way to the staging area (kitchen). Adults as-sisting on the tour help the nurses wheel residents into the entertainment area to enjoy the program,” he con-

tinued. “Children joining the ensemble for the fi rst time really light up when they en-ter the facilities. For most of them, it is their fi rst visit to one.”

In coordination with the children’s program, the community center will also hold its annual Christmas celebration from 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 19 until 1 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 20 with music by Dr. Disco (Mi-chael Spears) in the banquet hall.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase and holiday attire is requested.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door and are available through several volunteers.

the board gave a continuance for the damaged sign issue at the former Tina’s Treasures property. The owners have indicated a tenant has been se-cured and a new sign is planned. The city is con-cerned that the damaged sign is a safety risk.

In other items before the city board this week:■ Aldermen approved a memorandum of under-

standing with the Kossuth Volunteer Fire Depart-ment to help the Corinth Fire Department apply for a regional grant that would provide a pumper that could replace one of the department’s older trucks. If approved, the plan includes measures for responding to situations at the airport with foam.

■ The board approved the sale of a small strip of property to the owner of Dogwood Plantation. It is land the state previously deeded to the city after acquiring it for right-of-way during highway construction.

■ The board gave approval for the mayor to sign an agreement with the Kansas City Southern rail-road that will allow drainage pipes to go under the railroad in the upcoming Economic Development Administration grant-funded drainage project in the Tishomingo Street basin area.

JACKSON — Mississippi students in elementary and middle grades lagged behind their counterparts in 10 other states in 2014-2015 on tests of math and language arts.

Those are fi ndings of the second batch of fi ndings from Mississippi’s only administration of a multi-state test meant to measure achievement under new academic standards.

The results, released Thursday by the Mississippi Department of Edu-cation, are a big drop from the 2014 state tests, but that decrease was ex-pected. State Superintendent Carey Wright says the new tests were writ-ten to be much harder.

“I’m delighted, to be honest with you, that the children did as well as they did with this level of rigor,” Wright told reporters Wednesday. “That’s the good news for Missis-sippi.”

In math, about 26 percent of stu-dents in grades 3-8 met or exceeded expectations on the test, said state assessment director J.P. Beaudoin. In English, about 30 percent of all students in those grades met or ex-ceeded expectations.

Though more students reached grade level in English, Mississippi is actually closer to other states in math. Score levels tended to decline in middle school grades, both in Mississippi and nationwide. Wright said that might stem from those students having started school un-der Mississippi’s older curriculum and having to navigate the change-over to the state’s current Common Core-linked standards.

Last spring was the only time Mississippi will administer the test designed by the Partnership for As-sessment of Readiness of Colleges and Careers. In 2016, Mississippi will begin giving a test custom-writ-

ten by Questar Assessment.From lowest to highest, PARCC’s

score levels are described as not meeting expectations, partially meeting expectations, approaching expectations, meeting expectations and exceeding expectations. About 60 percent of students at least par-tially met expectations on the tests, Beaudoin said.

PARCC was unpopular among administrators because the test was given in two parts separated by weeks, requiring more testing days than some other exams.

Giving up the PARCC, though, means Mississippi won’t have easy comparisons to other states. Wright said school leaders nationwide are studying how to maintain such comparisons. Some of Mississippi’s 145 school districts saw few or no students score at the most advanced level, while others met or exceeded the multistate average.

History

Today is Friday, Dec. 18, the 352nd day of 2015. There are 13 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On Dec. 18, 1915, President Woodrow Wil-son, whose first wife, Ellen, had died the year before, married Edith Bolling Galt, a widow, at her Washington home.

On this date:

In 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Con-stitution, abolishing slavery, was declared in effect by Secretary of State William H. Seward.

In 1912, fossil col-lector Charles Dawson reported to the Geologi-cal Society of London his discovery of supposed early human remains at a gravel pit in Piltdown. (More than four decades later, Piltdown Man was exposed as a hoax.)

In 1940, Adolf Hitler ordered secret prepara-tions for Nazi Germany to invade the Soviet Union. (Operation Barbarossa was launched in June 1941.)

In 1944, the U.S. Su-preme Court upheld the government’s wartime evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast while at the same time unani-mously agreeing that “concededly loyal” Ameri-cans of Japanese ances-try could not continue to be detained.

In 1958, the world’s first communications satellite, SCORE (Signal Communication by Orbit-ing Relay Equipment), nicknamed “Chatterbox,” was launched by the United States aboard an Atlas rocket.

In 1969, Britain’s House of Lords joined the House of Commons in making permanent a 1965 ban on the death penalty for murder.

In 1972, the United States began heavy bombing of North Viet-namese targets during the Vietnam War. (The bombardment ended 11 days later.)

In 1992, Kim Young-sam was elected South Korea’s first civilian pres-ident in three decades.

PICKWICK DAM, Tenn. — An Alabama man is dead following a Wednesday afternoon wreck near Pickwick Dam State Park.

The crash happened around 3 p.m. n Pyburns Drive where two com-mercial trucks collided head-on, killing one of the drivers, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Troopers said Nathan Hendrix of Florence, Ala., was killed when the tractor-trailer he was driving crossed into on-coming traffic, colliding head-on with a loaded log truck.

No other vehicles were involved. Troopers said the second driver, a 30-year-old man from Collinwood, Tenn., was not seriously hurt. 

According to the THP report, neither driver was wearing a seat belt.

Region IV chairman Holiday dies at 88

RIPLEY — Region IV Mental Health Ser-vices chairman and well-known Tippah County public servant Troy Holi-day died Tuesday. 

The 88-year-old was recently recognized in Corinth for being a pioneer in the mental health business.

Holiday helped es-tablish Timber Hills Mental Health Services in 1969. Now known as Region IV Mental Health Services, the locally funded organiza-tion provides out-patient services to individuals in need of mental health, mental retardation and alcohol and drug abuse services. The organiza-tion has out-patient facil-ities in Alcorn, DeSoto, Prentiss, Tippah and Tishomingo counties.

Services for Holliday will be held today at 1 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Ripley. Visita-tion will be held today from 7 a.m. until service time.

Iuka plant secures Air Force contract

IUKA — A Tishomingo County plant has landed another contract to build rockets for the United

States Air Force.Orbital ATK, Inc., a

global leader in aero-space and defense tech-nologies, announced this week that it has been awarded a contract from United Launch Alli-ance (ULA) for large-size composite structures to be used for the Atlas V and Delta IV vehicles in support of the current United States Air Force Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles (EELV) programs. 

“Our long-standing involvement on both the Atlas V and Delta IV launch vehicles is a strong demonstration of our workforce’s engi-neering and manufactur-ing abilities,” said Steve Earl, Vice President and General Manager of Orbital ATK’s Aerospace Structures Division. “Our support of ULA EELV missions is a critical ele-ment of our aerospace structures business, and we are proud to pro-vide support for these marquee launch vehicle programs.”

All of the structures will be fabricated in Orbital ATK’s Large Structures Center of Excellence (COE) in Iuka, employing advanced fi-ber placement and hand lay-up processes, auto-mated machining and ultrasonic inspection techniques. 

The Large Structures COE boasts more than 320,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space, including 86,000 square feet of clean room facility, which houses some of the larg-est specialized process-ing equipment of its kind in the United States. 

Bryant to welcome German firm today

IUKA — An economic development announce-ment for hago Automo-tive is scheduled today at Yellow Creek Port.

Gov. Phill Bryant and other officials will take part in the 9 a.m. an-nouncement. 

The new North Ameri-can arm of Germany-based Feinwerktechnick hago GmbH, hago Auto-motive is set to begin operations in the coming months at the Yellow Creek State Inland Port near Iuka.

The company will ini-tially invest around $10 million and create at least 80 jobs with an av-erage pay of more than $32,000 per year.

The company’s only other location is in Kuss-abery, Germany, where it employs more than 700 people.

Mississippi Develop-ment Authority commit-ted $500,000 in grant funds to help move hago equipment from Ger-many to the U.S.

McNairy OKs field house construction

SELMER, Tenn. — A contract was approved to repair the Michie School’s roof, a bid for demolition construction to clear some proper-ties, and a bid to build the Carson Herrin Me-morial Field House were also approved during the December meeting of the McNairy County Board of Education.

McNairy County Di-rector of Schools John Prince was pleased to report that only one school cafeteria lost money in the last month. Adamsville High School’s cafete-ria reported a profit of $11,000 and Ramer School’s cafeteria was the only one losing money in the month, but that was a meager $740.

The county will receive a grant from Utrust. The grant money could be used to buy a computer lab for student instruc-tion. McNairy County’s School System received $9,000 last year from Utrust.

Matlock Roofing won the bid to repair the roof at Michie School with a low bid of $88,000.

Volunteer Bridge Con-struction was the low bidder for some property demolition to clear the area for future school instruction.

Keith Freeman Con-struction was the win-ning bidder to build the fieldhouse at Michie School for $44,500.

Coach remembered as dedicated mentor

BOONEVILLE — Long-time Booneville High School coach Riley Pre-sley was remembered

this week as a man who was true blue — and gold.

Presley, 65, was cur-rently serving as defen-sive coordinator for the Booneville High School football team. He died last Friday after a brief battle with cancer.

The longtime coach spent 40 years on the sidelines, coaching for one year in Ripley and 39 more in Booneville. Funeral services were held Tuesday in the Booneville High School gym under the direc-tion of McMillan Funeral Home.

Presley was a member of a tight-knit coach-ing staff at Booneville including his younger brother, Jody, who served as an assistant coach.

“Riley Presley touched thousands of lives over 30 years of coaching and teaching,” said Booneville Head Football Coach Mike Mattox.

Booneville School District Superintendent Dr. Todd English said Presley was a vital and beloved member of the Blue Devil family.

“He was a true Blue Devil. He loved the dis-trict and he loved the kids,” said English.

He recalled numerous times he would arrive at the school to find Pres-ley mowing the field or working in other areas that he didn’t have to do.

“He just always wanted what was best for Booneville,” said English.

The superintendent said the close-knit na-ture of the coaching staff and of the entire school system is part of what has made Boon-eville successful and people like Presley who dedicate their lives to making a difference are at the heart of that.

“He will be sorely, sorely missed,” said the superintendent.

City votes to raise animal cruelty fine

WINONA – The fine for people penalized for animal cruelty in Winona has been raised.

On December 15, the Winona City Board of Aldermen unanimously voted to increase the penalty for aggravated assault on an animal.

In the past, a fine of between $50 and $150 was issued. Now the fine is up $2,500 along with up to six months in prison.

In the past, protection was only applied to dogs and cats. Now, all ani-mals are protected. This brings the city’s animal ordinance into accor-dance with MSSS 97-41-16 of Mississippi’s 2011 amendment to ani-mal law for aggravated cruelty.

Money doesn’t matter ... much. In this year’s Republican nominating race, the standing of the candidates is in inverse rela-tionship to the amount of money they have spent.

Earlier this month, the front-runner, Don-ald Trump, had spent about $220,000 on television advertising. His runner-up, Ted Cruz, had invested just shy of $1 million. In third place — a distant third in The New York Times/CBS Poll — comes Marco Rubio, who had spent over $10 million on media. And bringing up the rear is Jeb Bush, who had garnered a hearty 5 percent of the vote by spending almost $30 million on TV ads in his campaign.

Bush is en route to winning the John Con-nally Award for amount of money spent per delegate vote at the convention.

The lesson is clear, or should be: The im-portance of money is highly overvalued in a high profi le presidential race. It still is a deciding factor in down ballot races such as those for senator and governor, and is the be-all-end-all for congressional or state legisla-tive races.

But the free media coverage of a presiden-tial race simply overwhelms what the paid media can bring to a campaign. We see won-derfully produced ads for the likes of Bush and Rubio, only to see the real thing in a debate a few weeks later. This disjuncture is disturbing. The fi gure conjured in the ads has only the most tenuous relationship with the guy we see at the podium. Who are we to be-lieve, the ads or our own eyes?

Paid media has some specifi c purposes, but is hardly a cure-all for what ails a campaign.

It can provide biographic depth, particu-larly with a candidate with a moving life story like John McCain or Ben Carson.

It is very useful for hitting an opponent with negatives, as Mitt Romney did to Newt Gingrich and President Obama did to Rom-ney. But when debates come as frequently as they do in the GOP nominating process, it is easy for a candidate or a target to debunk the accusations and nullify the ad buy, no matter how extensive.

Its greatest use is to rebut opposition at-tacks and to make the attacker appear un-truthful or ruthless as a counterpunch.

So why do candidates spend their entire waking lives raising money if it’s not that im-portant?

Money has become a status symbol with the media, a gauge of how seriously to take a candidacy. For example, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee’s inability to raise funds typed him as a minor candidate. Like-wise with former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. So the winners of the last two Iowa caucuses (Santorum in 2012 and Huck-abee in 2008) are way down in the polls in this year’s Iowa contest. Why? Because their limited fundraising caused the media to mar-ginalize them and focus on Ben Carson – who raised vast amounts – instead.

FEC fi lings have become like campaign posters, attesting to the strength of a candi-dacy – show pieces to be paraded about but not actually spent. Texas Senator Cruz fi rst won respectability as a candidate when he out-raised others in the fi rst reporting peri-od, which he has continued to do. Cruz never had to spend the money; having it and dis-playing it was enough.

So, curiously, the very press that deplores the Citizens United decision and castigates the amount of campaign spending that has followed in its wake perpetuates the myth of the importance of money.

Before the voters get to cast their fi rst bal-lots in the primaries, candidates have to prove their credibility in the money primary and in the debate primary. These winnowing processes — rather than the decisions of the voters themselves — spell inclusion or exclu-sion in these pre-primary rounds.

So having a large bank account is like owning a fancy car or living in a mansion – a symbol of wealth worth more than the money itself.

Money doesn’t matter

Prayer for today

A verse to share

New polling shows Ted Cruz picking up major steam and looking very se-rious in challenging Donald Trump’s leadership in the Republican presidential candidate fi eld.

A Bloomberg News/Des Moines Register poll shows Cruz now leading in Iowa. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Cruz jumping up 12 points from 10 percent in late October. Now, at 22 percent, Cruz is just 5 points behind Trump.

True to form, Trump is beginning personal attacks against Cruz.

“I have far better judg-ment than Ted,” said Trump on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. That same day Trump told Fox News, “You look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like – frankly, like a little bit of a maniac. You’re never going to get things done that way.”

Maybe it’s time for Re-publican voters to step back and think about what kind of leader Americans need in these troubling times.

Trump, a world-class salesman, hits an emotional bull’s-eye with his cam-paign theme “Make Ameri-ca Great Again.” This is in-deed what we want.

This is what got the Tea

Party started to begin with.

Now, with our economy growing well below his-toric aver-age, with our national debt equal to the size of our entire econo-

my, with Medicare and So-cial Security insolvent to the tune, by some measures, of $100 trillion, with the American family in sham-bles and almost half our babies being born to unwed mothers, you have to be on another planet, or a Demo-crat, to not know America is in decline.

But it takes a leader that’s “a little bit of a maniac” to take on turning this big ship around. It takes some-one who cares more about country than about self to stand and fi ght against an entrenched status quo.

Ted Cruz has stood cou-rageously alone since his day one in the Senate, shin-ing light on what is wrong: about growing debt, about Obamacare, about taxpay-er funds going to Planned Parenthood, about immi-gration. Donald Trump to-day is reaping the harvest of public awareness that

Ted Cruz has been sowing for years. Trump should be thanking Ted Cruz.

When Trump com-pared himself a number of months ago to President Reagan, Stu Spencer, who ran Reagan’s presiden-tial campaigns, and Ken Khachigian, Reagan’s chief speechwriter, wrote a col-umn headlined, “Trump Is No Reagan.”

Speaking about Reagan, they wrote, “It was Amer-ica that was great, not him – a studied contrast with Trump’s overwhelming self-absorption.”

While Ted Cruz has been fi ghting the lonely battle, what has Donald Trump been doing?

According to the Cen-ter for Responsive Politics, Trump’s political contri-butions from 1989 to 2015 total $1.4 million. During the 19 years from 1989 to 2009, more than half went to Democrats. This includes thousands to Hillary Clin-ton and Harry Reid.

Trump justifi es this by saying, “As a businessman you want to be friendly to everybody.” It’s exactly this unprincipled culture that has turned Washington into a cesspool.

At a time when we must rebuild our values, does

a man who is on his third marriage, who has been all over the place on abortion and defi ning marriage, rep-resent the kind of values we need?

Can we believe that Trump, who played football and baseball in prep school and then got a medical de-ferment to shield himself from the draft during the Vietnam War, and now questions whether John McCain, tortured for years as a POW, is a hero, is some-one who puts America fi rst? Or is his real love affair with Donald Trump?

We need a leader who is committed to a task bigger than himself, to values of which he is part. Not some-one born with a silver spoon in his mouth and who is now on a massive ego trip.

America is about God, truth, freedom and personal responsibility. And we need a leader who can get these truths to minority Ameri-cans, trapped all these years by the lies of the left.

Frankly, between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, it’s not even a contest.

Will Trump put America first?

STARKVILLE — The at-torney who pleaded guilty to embezzling $400,000 from the Singing River Credit Union in Jackson County Circuit Court on Dec. 14 was once one of Mississippi’s most power-ful state legislators and it’s hard to overstate the extent of his fall from power.

Former state Sen. Tommy Robertson pleaded guilty to one count of a fi ve-count indictment charging him with using his position as board attorney for the cred-it union to embezzle a total of $484,092, with $379,592 coming from a single con-struction loan.

Robertson, 59, served in the state Senate from 1992-2008. His legislative tenure had been marked by three DUI arrests – one in Biloxi in 1997, another on the Ole Miss campus in 2003 and a third arrest in Moss Point in 2008.

The former Gulf Coast lawmaker also drew politi-cal fi re, but no legal ramifi -cations, in 2006 for submit-ting the low competitive bid to the Mississippi Develop-ment Authority to admin-ister federal housing grants for Hurricane Katrina vic-tims.

It’s legal for state law-makers to work administer-ing federal funds that they

don’t appro-priate or have other legal controls over. In that nar-row context, there were no ethical viola-tions, either.

But Rob-ertson and a

former legislative colleague operated Jackson County Land & Title, a company created to correct problems found in property titles. The Mississippi Development Authority, the state’s eco-nomic agency, awarded a contract to the legislators’ company to fi nalize grants for Coast homeowners who lost property to Hurricane Katrina.

The legislators, both pri-vate attorneys, submitted the lowest bid and their company received $250 for every grant it fi nalized. Democratic critics and some media outlets howled over supposed ethics viola-tions, but the Legislature had no authority over the federal grant money Rob-ertson and his partner re-viewed and the Legislature didn’t appropriate the funds in question.

Robertson and his part-ner were by $75 per con-tract the lowest bidder for the legal work. If anything,

the bid submitted by the lawmakers seemed low based on the work required and the subsequent political fl ak the pair incurred.

Looking back, it’s hard to fathom Tommy Robertson ending up in this situation. In his legislative prime, Robertson was one of the half-dozen most power-ful lawmakers in the state. Robertson chaired the pow-erful tax-writing Senate Fi-nance Committee.

More than a decade ago, Robertson was at the center of one of the state’s toughest political fi ghts over the is-sue of the Mississippi Med-icaid Reform Act of 2004. Then-state Democratic Par-ty chairman Wayne Dowdy launched a series of attack ads against a group of Re-publican lawmakers and former Gov. Haley Barbour.

The Democratic ads tar-geting Barbour, Robert-son, Sens. Travis Little of Corinth and Alan Nunnelee of Tupelo along with state Rep. Greg Snowden of Me-ridian sought to place the sole blame for the Medicaid program cuts on Republi-can shoulders.

The ads ignored the fact that the Medicaid cuts be-came reality in Mississippi with the strong support of Democrats in the Legisla-ture. The Medicaid Reform

Act passed with strong bi-partisan majorities – 43-8 in the Senate and 82-32 in the House. That was back in the era when Democrats controlled the Legislature.

Robertson argued stub-bornly – and truthfully – that Medicaid’s woes at that time had been great-ly exacerbated by former Democratic Gov. Ronnie Musgrove’s exponential ex-pansion of the state’s Med-icaid program on this watch.

Perhaps Robertson’s most noteworthy moment in the Legislature came in the battle of the so-called “tax swap” that would have reduced or eliminated the state sales tax on groceries and raised cigarette taxes. Robertson was Barbour’s most loyal ally in that fi ght.

Robertson argued that the poorest families paid no grocery tax because their food stamp purchases are tax exempt. Health ad-vocates, state Democratic leaders and even Repub-lican former Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck supported the tax swap and argued the lower grocery tax would help the state’s working poor.

It is a lengthy house call from Selmer, Tenn. to Shanghai, China, but one dedicated physi-cian made the long trek to help further the education of some young Chinese doctors.

Dr. Keith Ellis, a graduate of McNairy Central High School, recently spent two weeks in China in an academic exchange program with the Confucius Institute. Ellis had made con-nections fi ve years ago with the program director and was in-vited to travel to China to help teach the doctors there about American medicine.

Ellis is an instructor for the University of Tennessee in Jackson which helps with the training of the resident doc-tors. He works as a physician at Jackson-Madison County Gen-eral Hospital.

Professor Hsiang Kung con-fi rmed the trip this summer with Ellis to spend time in Mainland China with the doc-tors at the University Medical School.

“He talked to me a few years ago about wanting me to go there to help the family prac-tice doctors,” said Ellis. “I am a teaching physician, so I wanted to go help them.”

Ellis completed six hours of lecture while in China and he taught them just as he would doctors in America. While not all could understand English, there were several who did and they would explain to the others what was being said in the lecture.

The doctor noticed that in China the teaching physicians were held to higher respect than were the regular physicians.

“There is much more pres-tige in holding a PhD than in

practicing medicine,” said Ellis. “The Chinese medical educa-tion is somewhat different from the U.S. The title ‘doctor’ seems to be reserved only for those who have a medical degree and PhD.”

The communist country has different goals for control of health care compared to the US.

“The hospital system I toured was made of up 2-3 different buildings but essentially there was an inpatient hospital like we have here but also an outpatient hospital where people go for sore throats, to see their OBGYN, or if they have an emergency.”

“It opened my eyes when I got to their hospital,” commented Ellis. “In my mind, that hospi-tal system operated about like a hospital system in the US in the 1950s.” There are hospital sys-tems in China that rival, if not outshine, modern hospitals in

the US. and Europe. However, these tend to be located in more westernized areas or in very wealthy areas.

Ellis said he was watched closely by most everyone when walking the streets in China because they do not see many Americans as tourists.

“They were nice to me be-cause their culture teaches people to not be rude in formal situations,” explained Ellis. “I learned a few words in Man-darin, but not enough to really carry on a conversation. They did their best to speak English.”

The one phrase the doctor learned in China was “wu ting bu dong.” It means “I hear you, but I don’t understand.”

“It was a bit frustrating to have to use so often, but once I said it, then people would change the way the interacted with me,” he remarked. “They

would be very deliberate in showing me pictures or using other ways to help me under-stand them because most were able to use English. It was very humbling.”

The trip took 17 hours from America to China and a 24,000-mile round trip.

Dr. Ellis said he did learn in his time there that most Chi-nese are similar to Americans. The students at the university were constantly texting on their smart phones and listening to headphones. The topic of con-versation during meals with hosts included parents discuss-ing where their children would go to school and how they were performing in school.

“They wanted to support their children, make sure they got a good education, and for their children to grow up to be productive adults,” said Ellis.

Selmer physician shares skills with Chinese doctorsBY JEFF YORK

For the Daily Corinthian

For my 10th birthday, Mama gave me a small black Bible and said, “When you are alone, trou-bled, afraid, and have no one to turn to … look at the picture on page 186.”

I turned to the page. Beneath a man with long, fl owing hair and a beard were these words: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

It was a picture of Jesus Christ. In looping, boyish handwriting, I wrote three words at the bottom of the page that are still there, six-ty years later: “Look at me.”

As kids, my brothers, sisters, and I were fed a big breakfast on Sun-day morning, ordered to scrub our-selves from head to toe, and dress in our Sunday best for church.

On some Sundays, I would ask Mama to let me worship with my boyhood best friend and mentor, Jaybird, who was a deacon at the little country church just a short walk from my father’s Mississippi Delta farm.

She always did, reasoning that as long as I was in a house of the Lord on the Sabbath, it didn’t matter which one. Nobody mind-

ed that I was the only white per-son in the congregation; to them I was just another one of Jaybird’s children.

When Reverend Moses Malachi Mason’s sermons were too long for my short attention span, or if I didn’t understand them, I would pretend to be reading the Bible so that Jaybird wouldn’t scold me, but actually I was looking at the pictures, especially the one on page 186.

The more I looked at the man in the picture, the more I was cap-tivated, but wished that His head wasn’t turned to one side and that His eyes didn’t have a far-away look in them. “Look at me,” I would whisper time and again, but He never did.

One Sunday, I became so ab-sorbed in the picture that I forgot where I was, and in dead silence during a moment when Reverend Mason had paused to catch his breath, I forgot to whisper, and instead shouted at the man in the picture: “Look at me!”

Immediately everyone in the congregation did just that — in-cluding Jaybird. His angry stare foretold what was coming. Dur-

ing the walk home, he didn’t say a word, but when we stepped up on his porch, he reached for the dreaded willow switch.

“Boy, why did you yell out like that in de Lawd’s house?”

“Because He won’t look at me, Jaybird.”

“Who?”I turned to page 186. The old

black man looked down at a frightened little boy holding a Bible, and did something he had never done before: He laid the switch aside, folded me into his arms, and held me a long time.

Jaybird is in Heaven now, but I have never forgotten what he said while holding me that day: “Boy, don’t never forget that Jesus loves you; He died for you. He looks at you every minute, every hour, ev-ery day … and He always will.”

BALTIMORE — Instead of a dra-matic conclusion to the fi rst of six trials of police offi cers in the death of Freddie Gray, the mistrial left Baltimore in suspense and confu-sion, with no immediate under-standing of what happens next.

The city had braced for a possible repeat of the protests, destruction and dismay that engulfed the city in April after Gray’s neck was broken in the back of a police van. But sev-eral small marches ended peaceful-ly overnight as the community tried to process the news.

Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry

Williams acknowledged the hung jury Wednesday after the panel deadlocked over whether Offi cer William Porter had committed any crimes by failing to take measures that might have saved the life of the young black man, who was shack-led and placed face down in the wagon after running from police.

Back at square one, prosecutors and defense attorneys met in Wil-liams’ chambers Thursday morning to discuss dates for a possible retri-al. A uniformed deputy stood guard, and when the lawyers left about 30 minutes later, they declined to com-ment, citing the judge’s gag order.

Maryland judiciary spokeswom-an Terri Charles says lawyers confer again with the judge in the coming days, and that to her knowledge, prosecutors have not yet decided whether to retry Porter.

The situation delays closure for an anxious city, and is unfortunate for both sides, said Steve Levin, a Baltimore defense attorney and for-mer federal prosecutor.

“The state proved beyond a rea-sonable doubt that Freddie Gray died. Beyond that, they weren’t able to prove anything,” Levin said. “They proved a tragedy, but I don’t think they proved a crime.”

Both sides view officer’s mistrial as letdownAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Mar-tin Shkreli, the former hedge fund manager vilifi ed in nearly every corner of America for buying a pharmaceuti-cal company and jack-ing up the price of a life-saving drug more than fi ftyfold, was arrested Thursday on securities fraud charges unrelated to the furor.

The boyish-looking 32-year-old entrepre-neur — a relentlessly self-promoting fi gure who has called himself “the world’s most eli-gible bachelor” on Twit-ter and recently plunged into the hip-hop world by buying an unreleased album by the Wu-Tang Clan — was taken into custody in a gray hoodie and awaited an appear-ance in federal court in Brooklyn.

Online, many people took instant glee in his arrest, some of them joking about a judge ratcheting up his sen-tence or lawyers jack-ing up their hourly fees 5,000 percent for de-

fending him in his hour of need.

His attorneys had no immediate comment.

Shkreli was charged in an indictment un-connected to the drug price hikes imposed by his company Turing Pharmaceuticals. The charges instead involve his actions at another pharmaceutical com-pany, Retrophin, which he ran as CEO up until last year.

Prosecutors said that in a “Ponzi-like scheme” between 2009 and 2014, Shkreli lost hedge fund investors’ money through bad trades, then raided Retrophin for $11 million in cash and stock to pay back his disgruntled clients.

Shkreli “engaged in multiple schemes to en-snare investors through a web of lies and deceit,” U.S. Attorney Robert Ca-pers said in a statement.

Shkreli was charged with securities fraud and conspiracy. A second defendant, lawyer Evan Greebel, of Scarsdale, New York, was charged with conspiracy.

Executive’s fraud arrest unrelated to drug price hike

Associated PressWASHINGTON — Re-

publicans overwhelmed divided Democrats to whisk tax breaks for businesses, families and special interests through the House on Thursday as Congress sped toward fi nal votes on a year-crowning budget accord that will also bankroll the gov-ernment in 2016.

The tax measure, ap-proved 318-109, in-cludes political coups for both parties.

More than 50 expir-ing tax cuts will be ex-

Trustees OK plans for tuition increases

JACKSON — Tuition will be going up at Mis-sissippi’s eight public universities in fall 2017, after College Board trust-ees gave final approval to the increase Thursday.

The average price of tuition for an in-state student would rise by 4.1 percent next fall.

The statewide average for two semesters of full-time tuition and fees would rise by an aver-age of $268 to $7,027, crossing $7,000 for the first time. Increases range from 2.5 percent at Alcorn State University to 5 percent at Delta State University.

Tuition would go up another 3.3 percent on average in fall 2017 under plans presented to the board. Universi-ties sometimes change their second-year plans. Seven schools plan increases in 2017, rang-ing from 1.4 percent to 4.9 percent. Delta State plans no increase.

Trustees had given pre-liminary approval in No-vember, but their policy required a second vote.

University leaders have said they need more money to raise faculty salaries, cover opera-tional costs and make up for lingering reductions to state aid.

City’s new board will oversee police 

COLUMBUS — Offi-cials in Columbus have voted to create a per-manent oversight board for the city’s police de-partment in the wake of the shooting death of a 26-year-old man.

The Commercial Dis-patch reports Columbus councilmen and Mayor Robert Smith voted Tues-day, with Smith breaking the city’s six council-men’s tie. The board will consist of the mayor, two or three councilmen and six citizens.

The board’s creation was one of six recom-mendations brought to the council by a recently formed committee respon-sible for reviewing work done by the police depart-ment’s special operations group. Members of that group were involved in the Oct. 16 shooting death of Ricky Ball.

Officials say the board will review police-to-com-munity performance, help construct a policy on ex-cessive force and ensure a fair and thorough inves-tigation into Ball’s death.

Lamar County fires school bus driver 

PURVIS — Officials say a Lamar County School

District bus driver was fired after she dropped two students off at her relative’s house, asking that relative to take them to school.

Superintendent Tess Smith tells The Hat-tiesburg American the unidentified driver was ter-minated immediately after the Tuesday incident.

Smith says the driver, who was with the district for over 10 years, covers two routes — one for elementary schools and another for middle and high schools.

She says she isn’t sure why she dropped the stu-dents off, but may have done so because she was afraid she’d be late for her second route.

Smith the driver could have called the transpor-tation office and asked for help if she was going to have been delayed.

Woman repays half of embezzled money

BAY ST. LOUIS  — A woman who embezzled $6,000 high school band students earned for a Florida trip has repaid half the money as part of a plea deal.

The Sun Herald reports 43-year-old Kimberly Luxich faced a 10-year prison term for embez-zling money the Bay High School band members raised in 2013 while she was treasurer of the band’s booster club. She pleaded guilty Monday in Hancock County Circuit

Court.Assistant District At-

torney Chris Daniel says Luxich’s attorney asked if she could make a size-able payment to stay out of prison. The booster club’s leaders agreed and Luxich brought $3,000 in money orders to court for deposit in the club’s account.

Judge Roger Clark im-posed a 10-year prison term, suspended eight years and ordered two years of house arrest for Luxich.

Southaven names police, fire chiefs 

SOUTHAVEN — South-aven has appointed new police and fire chiefs to replace the retiring heads of those depart-ments in January.

The Commercial Ap-peal reports aldermen have named Deputy Po-lice Chief Steve Pirtle to replace Tom Long, and Deputy Fire Chief Roger Thornton was named to replace Ron White.

Long and White both retire Jan. 22, and Pirtle and Thornton will step into the roles the follow-ing day.

Mayor Darren Mussel-white praised Pirtle and Thornton for their long service with the city fol-lowing Tuesday night’s unanimous votes by aldermen accepting the two recommendations. There was no discussion about either appoint-ment.

Suspect in custody after deputy shot 

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. — An East Tennessee sheriff says a deputy and a woman have been injured in a shoot-ing and the suspect has been taken into custody.

Carter County Sheriff Dexter Lunceford told news outlets that the deputy, Jenna Mark-land, was shot twice in the face and was ex-pected to recover. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says both victims are hospitalized in stable condition.

Lunceford says he and three deputies responded to a call Wednesday evening re-porting a drunken man waving around a gun. He says he arrived and got the man’s family out of the residence, but when other deputies arrived, the suspect be-gan firing toward them. He says he and the oth-ers returned fire.

The TBI said in a statement that 39-year-old Kelly Lee Pitts has been charged with sev-en counts of attempted murder.

Feds probe theater antitrust violations 

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Justice Department and several states are investigating alleged an-titrust violations by the country’s biggest movie theater chains, accord-ing to securities filings and the Ohio attorney general.

AMC and Cinemark both acknowledged investigative demands by the government in recent SEC quarterly filings.

Last month, AMC also acknowledged similar requests from Ohio, Florida, Kansas, New York, Texas, Washington and the District of Co-lumbia.

The government wants documents re-lated to potentially an-ticompetitive conduct, “including film clearanc-es and participation in certain joint ventures,” AMC said in a Nov. 4 SEC filing. The company said it may receive simi-lar requests from other jurisdictions.

“The Company does not believe it has vio-lated federal or state antitrust laws and is cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities,” AMC said in the SEC filing.

The Justice Depart-ment declined to com-ment.

Ohio Attorney Gen-eral Mike DeWine said Thursday his office was the first among 10 jurisdictions examining whether AMC, Cinemark

and Regal have taken action to keep competi-tors and new theaters out of the market.

VW hires Feinberg for cheating claims 

DETROIT — Volkswa-gen has hired compen-sation expert Kenneth Feinberg to handle financial claims from people whose cars are involved in an emis-sions cheating scandal.

The German automak-er says Feinberg will de-velop an independent, fair and quick process for resolving the claims.

Volkswagen has admitted to install-ing software on about 500,000 U.S. vehicles that turned on pollution controls during govern-ment tests then shut them off when the cars returned to real roads. Government regulators are evaluating the com-pany’s proposal to fix the cars.

Feinberg recently wrapped up a com-pensation program for General Motors over faulty ignition switches that caused crashes, deaths and injuries. He also handled compen-sation for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing and the BP Gulf oil spill.

Mother wins tuition with half-court shot 

BLOOMINGTON — A Minnesota mom says she said a little prayer before hoisting a bas-ketball half-court and sinking her shot to win thousands of dollars off her daughter’s private school tuition.

Angela Ramey and her daughter, Grace raised the most money in a school fundraiser at Bethany Academy in Bloomington, Min-nesota, earning three chances to make the half-court shot and knock $4,000 off tu-ition next year.

Grace gave her mom the basketball and on the final try Angela launched it under hand. It bounced, swished through the net and the crowd went wild. The mother and daughter screamed with joy.

Deputy jumps into truck to save driver 

NORFOLK, Neb. — A Nebraska sheriff’s deputy jumped into the cab of a runaway semi-trailer after the driver apparently passed out at the wheel, stopping the vehicle from pos-sibly crashing off a busy viaduct bridge.

Deputies responding to a 911 call about a reckless semi on U.S. Highway 81 caught up with the truck in Madison County, but it

wouldn’t stop.The truck slowed as

it neared Norfolk, 110 miles northwest of Omaha, allowing Deputy Todd Volk to leap into action. He jumped from a cruiser onto the highway, then into the truck’s cab, where he was able to stop the big rig on the bridge.

Volk says the driver appeared to be sick and officials said it may have been a diabetic reaction.

Radio station KNEN in Norfolk says the inci-dent happened Dec. 2.

Just Mayo eggless spread keeps name  

NEW YORK — Just Mayo says it will get to keep its name, a deci-sion that caps a roll-ercoaster year for the vegan spread that has rattled the egg industry.

Just Mayo’s maker Hampton Creek says it has worked out an agreement with the Food and Drug Admin-istration that lets the eggless spread keep its name with a few changes are made to its label. The FDA sent a warning letter to Hamp-ton Creek in August, saying Just Mayo was misbranded because mayonnaise is defined as having eggs.

A representative for the FDA was not able to immediately available to confirm.

As part of the deal, Hampton Creek says Just Mayo’s label will make it clear that the product does not con-tain eggs.

South Florida, Texas schools get threats

MIAMI — Students in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Houston are head-ing to school Thursday, hours after school of-ficials in those cities received threats similar to the ones received by the Los Angeles and New York school dis-tricts earlier this week.

The Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Houston Indepen-dent School District announced on their websites that “less-than-credible” threats were received late Wednesday evening, and that schools would be open on Thursday. Officials from Broward County Public Schools said they also received a threat. In a tweet sent Thursday, the district announced that all schools would be open Thursday morning.

Miami school officials said district police im-mediately contacted federal, state and local law enforcement agen-cies and promised to deploy extra security to schools Thursday.

Eye on Foot Locker Darden Restaurants has been serving up healthy earnings over the past year.

The owner of Olive Garden, LongHorn Steak-house and other restaurants has benefited from improving sales at locations open at least a year. Financial ana-lysts anticipate that Darden will report today an increase in its fiscal second-quarter earnings and revenue from a year earlier.

The witching hourIt’s quadruple witching day, which marks the simultaneous expiration of four kinds of options and futures contracts.

The oddly named phenome-non happens on Wall Street four times a year, and forces traders to tie up loose ends in contracts they hold. The “witching hour” is what traders sometimes call the final stretch of such a day, before the closing bell — a period that can see particularly heavy volume.

Revved up earnings?Wall Street predicts that CarMax’s earnings growth ac-celerated in the third quarter.

The used car dealership chain, due to report its latest financial results today, has already turned in two consecu-tive quarters of improved earn-ings and revenue. Investors will be listening for an update on how sales prices are faring. The average sale price of a used car at CarMax declined earlier this year.

More people are buying TVs with sharper resolution known as 4K, even though there aren’t any 4K broadcasts yet. According to Paul Gagnon of IHS, it’s partly because the price has come down significantly. Worldwide, the average price difference between a 4K TV and a regular 1080p high-definition set shrank by nearly $1,000 over the past year — down to a difference of $433 in the third quarter.

That makes spending a bit more to prepare for the arrival of 4K broadcasts seem well within reach of the average TV shopper, who’s not likely to buy a new set for another five to seven years.

The other thing 4K has got going for it: It’s easy to

understand. It offers four times as many pixels as regular HD. That’s a simple marketing message that other upgrades don’t have going for them.

“People can understand that more pixels is better than fewer,” Gagnon says. “When you start talking about color gamut and HDR (high-dynam-ic range), people’s eyes start to glaze over.”

While broadcast 4K signals are still potentially years away, more 4K content is coming from movie studios and online platforms like Amazon, Netflix and M-Go.

All this activity is good for market leaders Samsung and LG — that is, until falling prices cause profit margins to get as thin as the sets themselves.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE:

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

xwordeditor@aol.com

Dear Annie: Is it appro-priate or even normal for a husband to always ask who I am on the phone with or who just texted me? Or to stand behind me while I’m reading my email, unabashedly read-ing over my shoulder?

I don’t have anything to hide, but I fi nd this be-havior intrusive and an-noying. Sometimes, he will even ask for details about certain parts of my conversation. I don’t dare refuse to answer for fear he will think I’m trying to conceal something. He has a quick temper and becomes defensive and angry if I question him. I hate confl ict, so I just answer his questions to avoid his outbursts.

One time, my best friend confi ded some-thing highly personal to me and specifi cally asked me not to tell anyone. When I refused to dis-close this information to my husband, he got very angry, arguing that spouses shouldn’t keep secrets from one another. I don’t feel it’s wrong to keep a confi dence that has absolutely nothing to do with him. He did not agree, and I ended up tell-ing him a less-detailed version of our conversa-tion. But I was upset that he pressured me until I conceded.

My husband doesn’t automatically report his conversations to me, and

I don’t expect him to. Am I too private or is he too nosy? — Nothing to Hide but My Annoyance

Dear Nothing: He’s way too nosy. Con-fi dences between friends or family members do not have to be shared as long as they don’t involve the spouse or the mar-riage. Saying that you were on the phone with “Myrtle” is suffi -cient information.

Some spouses tell each other every de-tail of every conver-sation, but that is up to them. In your case, your husband is bad-gering and pressuring you for additional in-formation. Either he doesn’t trust you, or he needs to control you. (It’s also possible he is guilty of doing things that he doesn’t want you to know about, and this is why he is overly concerned with your phone conver-sations and emails.) What concerns us the most is that you feel you must constantly appease him because of his anger issues. Tell him to knock it off before he turns into a

full-fl edged bully and the marriage is in se-rious trouble. If he re-fuses, or if you believe his anger is danger-ous or more than you can handle, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (the-hotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are having a dis-agreement about how to sign cards and notes. Does the man’s name come fi rst or does the woman’s?

I have always put my name fi rst, but lately she says that her name should be fi rst. So should it be “Tim and Marlene”? Or is it “Marlene and Tim?” — Your Opinion, Please

Dear Tim: Your wife is right. Etiquette says the woman’s name comes fi rst in all cas-es except where the signature is “Mr. and Mrs. John Smith” or some variation. Of course, not everyone cares, in which case, sign your names how-ever you choose.

Dear Abby

Horoscopes

Watch for Staff Writer / Photographer Jebb Johnston’s four-part 2015 Year in Review to be presented Dec. 26-30, followed by the Top Ten

Stories of 2015 to be presented on Friday, Jan. 1. Will public corruption be Number 1?

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

D E A R ABBY: My wife and I have been m a r r i e d three years. It has been rocky since year two. She’s a great mother to our kids, es-pecially the one who is

medically challenged. We have broken up twice so far, and are now back together. However, because of my job, we live in different states.

Bottom line: I’m no longer sure this is the right relationship for me. She goes to school full time while I work a ton of over-time to support two households. We hardly see or spend time with each other.

She has said she would rath-er me work and not see me so that everything gets paid. I feel she’s more about the money than the marriage. What do you think? -- UNHAPPILY MAR-RIED IN BALTIMORE

DEAR UNHAPPILY: You and your wife both appear to be car-rying a heavy load.

For the sake of your children, it would be nice if your marriage could be resuscitated.

However, not every marriage can be -- and the arrangement

you have now is clearly not working for you.

If your wife actually feels that she would rather not see you so that everything gets paid, then I think she has made her feelings clear. The marriage no longer exists; it’s a fi nancial arrange-ment. For that, you both have my sympathy.

DEAR ABBY: Why does it feel awkward for me to call my husband by his fi rst name? When I say his name from an-other room to get his attention, it only feels natural for me to call him “Babe.”

When I’m talking about him to someone else, I use his name, but it still makes me cringe. It’s a perfectly normal, common name, so I don’t know why it makes me so uncomfortable. And this doesn’t just apply to my husband. Before him, I was in a six-year relationship with my high school sweetheart and had the same problem.

Why can I only call my signifi -cant others “Babe” when talking to them? -- HUBBY’S NAME IS ________

DEAR HUBBY’S NAME: When couples become inti-mately involved, it is common for them to use pet names with each other. That you call your husband and your former boy-friend by the SAME name is interesting. Could it be that sub-

consciously you are/were afraid that if you don’t use the same pet name, you will absentmind-edly use the wrong one?

DEAR ABBY: My cousin and I have season tickets for the Broadway series at our lo-cal theater. Our problem is two women who sit next to us in the box. After intermission, when the second act starts, they talk loudly to each other as long as 10 minutes into the show. I want to say something, but I don’t want to cause any negativity or bad feelings because we will see them at each show. How should I deal with it? -- AUDI-ENCE MEMBER

DEAR MEMBER: Here’s how: When the women continue their conversation after the curtain rises, you say to the one near-est you, “Please be quiet. We can’t hear the performance.” That’s not rude; it’s being as-sertive. If they persist after that, complain to the management and ask that, if possible, in the future you be seated apart from the magpies.

Dear Abby is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whatever has been keeping you from saying what you think, feel-ing your feelings and acknowl-edging your needs will now be lifted. You’ll be free, expressive and well-received to boot!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Stop making something else more important than your rela-tionship with yourself. There’s a juicy opportunity that will only surface when you’re being true to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Each person resides in his or her own unique reality. It’s a rare joy when you strike upon acres and acres of common ground with someone fantastic. There is so much to explore there -- what fun!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone wants to get to know you better. Don’t worry; you won’t have to talk about your-self. Your actions will tell people who you are -- no more explana-tion than that will be necessary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a mounting tension that,

if you let build without release, could be destructive. Let off steam periodically throughout the day. By the way, you could use a few more tools for stress relief in your arsenal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Details, rules, lists ... you care, but not to the point of preoccu-pation. You’re able to compart-mentalize your need for order. When you’ve done what you were supposed to do, you’ll cut loose and have some fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your guiding planet Venus would like to remind you that there is no universal formula for beauty, humor, art or love. Therefore, you’re encouraged to go beyond what you’ve been taught is “ac-ceptable.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t assume that a circum-stance is fortunate or unfortu-nate until you’ve experienced it. Your maturity in this regard will place you among the elite. Whether or not that is fortunate or unfortunate remains to be ex-perienced.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Wondering if you’re good enough? You can stop won-dering now and never wonder again. You were born good enough. The real question is: Which relationships and en-deavors are a fi ne fi t for all your goodness?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your expectations might be derailed and, because you’re well-versed in the art of making the best of things, this will prove to be a delightful twist in the ac-tion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). After a week of acting according to plan, you’ll be yearning for ad-venture, and you won’t be alone in this. Suggest a bit of sponta-neity and you’ll have no problem fi nding a partner in fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you’re not wrapped up in what people think of you, you’ll be the perfect candidate for drawing attention to a cause, entertaining the crowd or taking a social risk that will wake every-one up.

Rocky marriage is back on, but money keeps couple apart

The Alcorn Central Lady Bears stayed healthy in the win column.

A second blowout in two days also allowed Charlette Foster’s club to work on their long-term wellness.

Alcorn Central nearly had enough points after the fi rst quarter — and senior Lauren McCreless matched Smith-ville’s total — as the Lady Bears cruised into the cham-pionship game of the Jump-ertown Tournament with a 59-19 decision in the fi rst of four games on Thursday.

The Bears dropped a 44-43 decision in Game Two.

“Good win,” said Foster.

“We were able to rest a couple of players because of inju-ries.”

After dropping two straight contests by a combined 15 points, the Lady Bears (8-4) won for the second time this week. They’ve taken care of business with relative ease, outscoring their opponents 131-53 in the two-game win-ning streak.

Central led 18-8 after one and had the Lady Seminoles (2-8) doubled up — 32-16 — at the break.

The Lady Bears held Smith-ville without a fi eld goal in the second half, outscoring the Lady Noles 27-3 while punch-ing their ticket to tonight’s championship contest.

Central will face the host Lady Cardinals, who im-proved to 4-8 with a win over Blue Mountain in Thursday’s third game, tonight at 7.

The Lady Bears are the de-fending tournament cham-pions, edging the Lady Cards 54-53 after rolling past Thrasher 72-22 in fi rst-round play in 2014.

McCreless led all scorers with 19 points, 15 coming from behind the arc.

The senior as scored 37 points and knocked down 10 3-pointers in two games this week.

Olivia Wilson followed with 12 points after making her season debut on Tuesday.

Blue Mountain and Smith-

ville will face off in today’s consolation game at 4.

• Alcorn Central rallied from a 12-point halftime defi -cit, but came up a point shy of knocking off the Seminoles in boys’ opening-round action.

The Bears (4-9) trailed 23-11 at the break. Central cut the defi cit to 32-28 after three and outscored Smithville (8-3) by three in the fi nal quar-ter.

Connor Lewis led Central, which will face Blue Moun-tain in consolation play at 5:30, with 21, including six 3-pointers. Trevor Godwin followed with 11.

The Associated PressBYU head coach Bronco

Mendenhall and Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart are pulling double duty this month after accepting head coaching positions with other programs. The feat is tricky, especially for the hir-ing programs that need all hands on deck as they transi-tion to a new coaching staff. But Mendenhall and Smart were fi rm with the decision to

delay their moves to Virginia and Georgia, respectively, un-til after their current teams wrap up their postseasons. “I was taught growing up work-ing with my dad on our ranch that if you start a job or start a task you do it as well as you can and you do it all the way till it’s fi nished,” Mendenhall said.

“That’s where satisfaction and happiness and peace re-ally comes from, is trying as

hard as you can to do the best that you can.

“I’ve worked hard to es-tablish trust with this team and these players and I care about them deeply. I want to help them fi nish what we started and possibly be an ex-ample for them in the future if they’re faced with a simi-lar challenge to leave before something is done.”

Mendenhall has been the BYU head coach for 11 years

with two more as defensive coordinator. Virginia will be Mendenhall’s second head coaching position.

BYU’s last game, against Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl on Saturday, is so important that had Virginia not been willing to let him fi nish the season coaching the Cougars, Mendenhall said at his in-troductory press conference

— Texas A&M has lost its top two quarterbacks after Kyler Murray left the team and was granted a release to transfer Thursday.

The highly touted freshman followed Kyle Allen in leaving the team. Allen was granted his release last Thursday.

“To all my family, friends and fans out there, I thank you for your love and con-

tinued support,” Murray said on Twitter. “I will forever be grateful for the opportuni-ties I’ve been given and rela-tionships I’ve made at Texas A&M. I wish nothing but the best to all my guys in that locker room.”

The move leaves the Aggies in a diffi cult predicament for the Music City Bowl against Louisville on Dec. 30. Texas A&M has just one scholarship quarterback on its roster in

Jake Hubenak, a junior col-lege transfer from Blinn Col-lege who played sparingly this season.

Murray missed practice Wednesday and coach Kevin Sumlin said at the time that the quarterback was “go-ing through some things and didn’t feel well.”

Sumlin addressed Allen’s departure for the fi rst time on Wednesday, but did not specifi cally address the then-

rumors that Murray also wanted to leave.

“He and his family got to-gether and made a decision they thought was best for them,” Sumlin said in a story in the Houston Chronicle. “Obviously we didn’t agree with it. But this program is not about one person or one coach.”

It’s unclear what caused

The Associated PressATLANTA — Starting pitch-

er Lucas Sims knows fi rst-hand how quickly the Atlanta Braves have upgraded their minor league system.

Sims, regarded as the team’s No. 3 top prospect a year ago, is considered 10th-best after a fl urry of trades over the last year. A fi rst-round draft choice for Atlanta in 2012, Sims joined more

than 20 other minor leagu-ers this week for the Braves’ fi rst ever winter development camp. “It pushes everyone a little bit more and makes you dig a little deeper,” Sims said. “But in a way it’s not a compe-tition because we all have the ultimate goal, to be here in Atlanta and help the Braves win championships.”

Dansby Swanson, the Braves’ top prospect and the

majors’ fi rst overall draft pick June, is unable to attend this week because of a family commitment. Swanson was acquired last week with out-fi elder Ender Inciarte and top pitching prospect Aaron Blair in the deal that sent All-Star pitcher Shelby Miller to Ari-zona.

“We completely understand and respect that,” said assis-tant director of player devel-

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

Braves’ top prospects gather for winter camp

it would have been a “deal-breaker” because “what message would that send?” Smart, who will be a fi rst-time head coach at Georgia after being on the Alabama staff since 2007, had a similar take.

“It’s very important to me that I fi nish things the right way over there,” Smart said.

“A lot of these young men playing for the Uni-versity of Alabama, I sat in their homes three, four, fi ve years ago and convinced them to come to the University of Ala-bama.

And I don’t think it would be doing justice to turn and walk away from those kids.”

There’s plenty to do, most importantly re-cruiting. But all four programs have been co-operative.

There was no buyout clause in Smart’s Ala-bama contract to pre-

vent him from leaving. Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said let-ting him stay on with the Crimson Tide for now was the right thing to do.

Alabama is preparing to face Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl on Dec. 31 with a spot in the national championship game on the line.

Smart left to work at Georgia for a little more than a week then re-turned for the Crimson Tide bowl practices.

“I know the profes-sional integrity that Kirby has and the com-mitment that he has to our players as well as his new job,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said.

“And I feel very com-fortable that he’ll be able to manage that.”

“And I think Univer-sity of Georgia has been fi rst class in how they’ve sort of handled this tran-sition and helping us both be able to do this the way we’re going to do it.”

jors next year, but the focus this week isn’t on baseball activities. There has been some core strength and condition-ing work and seminars about nutrition, fi nan-cial planning and quality of life issues. “It gives us a chance to help build these guys as men and not just physical speci-mens,” Schuerholz said.

Under president of baseball operations John Hart and new GM John Coppolella, the Braves have revamped the fran-chise over the last year by trading major leagu-ers for prospects.

Two years after win-ning the NL East, Atlan-ta lost 95 games last sea-son and could be even worse this year as the franchise leaves Turner Field in 2017 for a new suburban stadium. Sims has closely followed the overhaul as several

homegrown favorites — Craig Kimbrel, Jason Heyward, Andrelton Simmons, Alex Wood and Evan Gattis — were traded away.

Coppolella has insist-ed that he’s not listen-ing to offers for star fi rst baseman Freddie Free-man, and it appears that No. 1 starter Julio Tehe-ran is off limits, at least for now. But the Braves have clearly been rebuilt from the ground up. “For the fans, it might be hard to understand now,” Sims said, “but I truly believe there’s something special com-ing here.”

The focus has been on pitching. Of top 10 pros-pects listed by MLB, sev-en are fi rst-round picks and eight are pitchers. Left-hander Manny Ban-uelos, rated eighth-best among Braves, made six starts for Atlanta last year. He and Jenkins are on the 40-man roster.

the pair to leave the team, but the moves raise questions about whether there are prob-lems between the coach-ing staff and the players. Top receiver Christian Kirk took to Twitter to voice his support for the school on Thursday.

“I came to A&M be-cause I love this town and University simple as that. This teams (sic) been through adversity before, we’ll be (all right) (hashtag) GigEm,” Kirk tweeted.

Hubenak also was ac-tive on Twitter on Thurs-day evening, retweeting several tweets of support and tweeting: “S/O to

the 12th man for all the love and support! Now let’s go.”

Allen, who is a sopho-more, won the job in camp and started the fi rst seven games for A&M before struggling with interceptions, in-cluding throwing three that were each returned for touchdowns in a loss to Alabama, and was benched after a defeat at Mississippi.

Murray took over after that, starting the next three games and leading the Aggies to two wins in that span.

But he also had prob-lems with interceptions and Allen got his job back for Texas A&M’s fi -nal two games.

The Associated PressATLANTA — Chipper

Jones is returning to the Atlanta Braves in a front offi ce position he de-scribes as “dipping my toe back into the water.”

The Braves announced Thursday that the eight-time All-Star has been hired as a special assistant to baseball operations. Jones will report to John Hart, the president of baseball operations, and general manager John Coppolella. His primary focus during the regular season will be helping Braves hitters.

Jones retired as a player

following the 2012 sea-son. He said he spent the last few years “decom-pressing” and reached the “undeniable conclusion” he wants to return to the game.

“Because of what we are in the process of building for this city and our fan base, I am extremely ex-cited to be dipping my toe back into the water that is Braves baseball,” Jones said in a statement re-leased by the team. “I look forward to working with our players, as my pas-sion for the art of hitting is something I hold near and dear to my heart.

“My hope is that I can be an ‘extra set of eyes’ on our players and help supplement an already strong baseball operations department and coach-ing staff. I am honored to be back working with the Braves.”

The Braves said Jones will work as an instructor in spring training. He will also assist with amateur scouting leading up to the June draft, as well as some minor league player evalu-ation and instruction.

“He brings a wealth of experience — from being a number one overall draft pick, to having a highly-

successful career as a World Series champion, a league MVP and a bat-ting champion, to coming back from major injuries,” Coppolella said. “Chip-per spent his entire Hall of Fame-caliber career in a Braves uniform and we look forward to his input with our staff and with our hitters.”

Jones won the NL MVP award in 1999 and won the NL batting title with a .364 average in 2008. His 468 home runs are the third-highest total for a switch-hitter, behind Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504).

Almost 15 years have passed since Peanuts cartoonist Charles M.

Schulz died at age 77, a l t h o u g h it doesn’t seem like that long. However , every year during the h o l i d a y season, his m e m o r y is evoked

when his half-hour televi-sion specials begin their annual run.

The fall season is ush-ered in at Halloween, when “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” airs. Originally broad-cast October 27, 1966, the cartoon special has endured over four de-cades. The precursor to the winter holiday season happens, of course, when Schulz’s “A Charlie Brown

Thanksgiving” airs. Its debut occurred Novem-ber 20, 1973.

The winter holiday season begins in earnest when we get “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” which aired December 9, 1965, actually the fi rst of the three shows mentioned to appear on television. When it fi rst aired, I wouldn’t be born for an-other eight years—in No-vember 1973—so I am one of those youngsters who grew up watching it every year.

What is it about Charles Schulz that has made him so enduring?

His work was simple and good-hearted. His main character, known as Charlie Brown to all the gang—except Pepper-mint Patty, who calls him “Chuck,” and Marcie, who calls him the more formal “Charles”—was suppos-edly based on his own

personal experience of feeling inadequate.

The Peanuts gang in-cludes a diverse range of characters that often har-bor their own personal weaknesses and faults. Consider Linus, who never quite outgrows his “trusty blanket.” Consider Lucy, an extreme narcis-sist. Consider Pigpen, a walking dust storm.

Charles Schulz was cer-tainly progressive. I never thought about it when I was a child, but his inclu-sion of Franklin, a black character introduced to the strip in 1968, was quite radical in a society just on the brink of racial desegregation.

Schulz’s publisher told him he didn’t “mind [him] having a black character, but please don’t show them in school together.” Charles Schulz’s response was straightforward: “I fi nally sighed and said,

‘Well, Larry, let’s put it this way: Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How’s that?’”

He didn’t quit, though, thankfully, for posterity’s sake. Although not every-one may be familiar with his work in comic strip format now, we still have those enduring holiday television classics.

The standout, of course, is “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Interestingly, the annu-al cartoon almost didn’t make it. It was sponsored by the Coca-Cola Corpo-ration after an ad agent saw the Peanuts gang featured on the cover of Time magazine and asked producer Lee Mendelson if a Peanuts Christmas special had been pro-posed.

Television executives criticized it almost im-mediately for several rea-sons, primarily because it

didn’t contain the usual laugh track, employed actual children for the voices, featured contem-porary jazz, and delivered a religious message. From the time it aired in 1965, however, the special was a hit with viewers and critics. Schulz said of it: “There will always be an audience for innocence in this country.”

It is ironic that a show focusing on such an an-ti-commercial message originally included overt advertising at the end. Watch closely at the end to see the children’s sing-ing fade, a segment later edited to cut the sponsor’s message: “Brought to you by the people in your town who bottle Coca-Co-la.” Some earlier versions of the ending still survive on YouTube.

No matter. I still get a little misty every year just watching it, and I’m not

sure if it’s the simplicity of the message, the sen-timentality, or the sheer childhood nostalgia—or perhaps a combination of all three. Although TV execs scoffed at fi rst, what Linus says of the shabby little tree Charlie Brown chooses in the story might be said of the entire show: “I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It’s not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.” It’s a show that has received, over the years, plenty of fondness and will continue to be en-joyed by future genera-tions.

Good grief, Charles Schulz: ‘Peanuts’ still endures

Building mental and emotional walls is a com-mon occurrence. We are

used to liv-ing with p h y s i c a l walls so this pro-g r e s s i o n is an easy transition. F u r t h e r -more, it’s a condi-tioned re-sponse that

we learn from others as well as a result of our own experiences.

There are a variety of reasons people build these virtual walls. They want to keep undesirable things out. They have a desire to prevent loss. They don’t want someone to leave. Walls may create a feeling of security. They offer a sense of protection. Walls are constructed as a result of fear, uncertainty,

or vulnerability.There are those who

put up walls as a show of power. Only select people are allowed to cross their boundaries. This process allows them to feel as if they wield power over others by deciding who to exclude.

Some build walls to mark their territory. This approach mimics a child’s strategy of drawing an imaginary line around them in order to keep their siblings “off their side.”

Walls may be in re-sponse to a sensitivity that one wants to avoid. The goal is to keep out any real or imagined emo-tional threats. It is an at-tempt to avoid repeating unpleasant experiences.

Regardless of the rea-son for building virtual walls, their ultimate im-pact is to hold you back. Virtual walls are con-straining, offering only an

illusion of security. They are a defensive strategy which inhibits your per-sonal growth.

Limiting beliefs such as, “I can’t,” “I won’t,” or “It’s impossible,” build walls. Conversely, believing, “I can,” “I will,” or “I’ll fi nd a way,” tears down vir-tual walls. These walls are built based on your atti-tude. Dismantling them requires a change in out-look. You have the power to adjust your thoughts, and therefore can decide to remove your walls.

Virtual walls grow over time. Ironically, most

people aren’t aware of the walls they have put in place. They are so condi-tioned to their existence that the walls become integrated into their self-identity. Since these walls are so limiting, disman-tling them opens up new potential for you.

Since your virtual walls take time to build, they also require time to tear down. Rather than be-coming overwhelmed by the task, start by remov-ing just one brick. Contin-ue brick by brick until the wall is gone. Each brick represents one aspect of

your wall.Don’t empower fear. It

doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do. Get over your fears by do-ing what you are afraid to do and going where you are afraid to go. Walls cannot keep out fear.

You are in control of your emotions. You have no control over the ac-tions of others, but you do have control over your response. You stay safe through the proactive management of your feel-ings. Walls will never en-sure happiness.

Utilize your strengths. Appreciate everything you have. Concentrate on abundance rather than worrying about what you think is lacking. You have more to be thankful for than you realize. Walls do prevent you from attract-ing positive elements into your life.

Walls do not defi ne who

you are. Your character is based on your beliefs, at-titudes, morals, and eth-ics. Your character can never be stolen or lost.

Tearing down walls is scary because change is required. Learn from your past. Repeat actions that brought desired results while avoiding unsuc-cessful behavior. Correct bad decisions by making better ones. As your walls vanish, you will enjoy an amazing view that used to be obscured by your self-imposed banishment within your virtual walled prison.

Dare to Live Without Limits

NEW YORK — The groundbreaking Los An-geles rap act N.W.A. will join a quartet of 1970s era FM radio rockers — Chi-cago, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple and Steve Miller — as 2016 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

N.W.A., led by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, was elected after three unsuccess-ful nominations in a year when a movie about the group’s career, “Straight Outta Compton,” was a box-offi ce hit. Their hard-core tales of life on the street on songs like “F--- the Police” made them a provocative chart pres-ence in the late 1980s and infl uenced an empire of other acts.

Both Miller and Cheap Trick made it during their

fi rst year on the ballot.The induction cer-

emony for the Cleveland-based hall will be held April 8 in Brooklyn’s Bar-clays Center. HBO will televise highlights later in the spring.

Guitarist Miller came out of the San Francisco rock scene and became a dependable maker of pop hits like “Take the Money and Run,” ‘‘Fly Like an Eagle,” ‘‘Jet Airliner” and “Jungle Love.”

Midwestern favorites Cheap Trick succeeded with a highly amped ver-sion of Beatles-infl uenced melodies on hits “Surren-der” and “Dream Police.” Their “Live at Budokan” album is one of rock’s best-known live sets. Gui-tarist Rick Nielsen and rumpled drummer Bun E. Carlos gave them an in-delible live presence.

Cheap Trick moved swiftly to capitalize on the honor, announcing Thursday they had signed a new deal with Taylor Swift’s label, Big Machine Records. The band will release its 17th studio al-bum a week before its in-duction.

“Thanks to all the fans who have supported us for all these years and to the Hall of Fame mem-bers who cast their votes,” said bass player Tom Pe-tersson. “We are excited and honored.”

The guitar riff for Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” remains one of the most recognizable in rock history. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was a stalwart in a hard rock act that competed with Led Zep-pelin and Black Sabbath for the loyalty of metal-heads.

Before shortening its name from the Chicago Transit Authority, Chica-go was known for its jazz-rock fusion. The band had a string of pop hits including “Saturday in the Park,” ‘‘25 or 6 to 4,” ‘‘If You Leave Me Now” and “Does Anyone Really Know What Time it Is?”

More than 800 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation se-lected the inductees.

Worship Call

O v e r the years I have been a pro-crastina-tor and in many op-p o r t u n i -ties I still am. This is not some-thing that I planned

on doing but I have been in situations, that doesn’t require a solution imme-diately, and put off until tomorrow what I could have just as easily done today. The problems I have with some people are that they are just like me.

I have witnessed fi rst-

hand missed opportuni-ties, missed deadlines, inaccurate reports, plus more, because of no self-discipline on my part or maybe someone that worked with me. There are many people like me who waits to the last min-ute to fi nish a task which they have known about for several days. It seems it takes a sense of urgency for them to accomplish what needs to be done and usually it comes a time when an extension is asked for because of lack of self-discipline.

In my mind I feel I can do just about anything I set out to do. The prob-lem is lack of proper plan-ning, making time for

the project, and a desire to fi nish what I feel I can do. Many times I will start something and then when I realize I may not want to continue, I set the project aside and when this hap-pens it remains unfi n-ished for a long time or is never completed.

All of us have some form of procrastination in our life, however the ones that are really self-

disciplined are the ones that are going to move forward quicker. All of us have to realize that the path to commitment is making up your mind and plan to succeed.

This is true when it comes to Bible study and Worship attendance. There are many that say I am going to start reading my Bible tomorrow and tomorrow never arrives.

Many of us have dropped out of church because it so easy to stay home and watch television, go to family or social outings, fi sh, hunt, or just about any excuse will do. Then when we are asked about not following through we go through a period of anxiety, maybe self-deni-al, or just get mad.

Proverbs 12:1 says, “Whoever loves disci-plines loves knowledge, but he who hates correc-tion is stupid.” How does this verse fi t you?

We need to realize that self-discipline begins with doing the small things daily.

We need to use our free time constructively and

productively. You will al-ways fi nd the secret be-hind most success stories is discipline. Whatever we do in life we need to dedicate ourselves to that cause unless God changes our heart.

Prayer: Thank you Lord for each and every day that you give me on this earth. I pray that I will discipline myself to see your will and follow your lead. Amen.

(Daily Corinthian col-umnist and Corinth na-tive Gary Andrews is re-tired after 35 years in the newspaper and maga-zine business. He may be contacted at gary@gade-votionals.com.)
