Local/Region2A • Daily Corinthian Sunday, January 17, 2016
When it comes to getting a late start in art, Grandma Moses has nothing on for-mer Corinthian Gayle Carlin Forsythe.
The 87-year-old picked up the paint-brush at 82, several years later than the more famous painter of American folk scenes. Now a resident of Lakeland, Tenn., Forsythe will be at the art gallery from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday for the opening of her ex-hibit, which runs through Feb. 5.
With a lifelong appreciation of art and nature, she began watching art programs on television and decided she wanted to give painting a try.
“My life took a new turn as I began painting with never having a lesson or instructions, just having the desire,” she said. “I feel that God has blessed me giv-ing me this opportunity late in my life.”
Health issues forced her to put down the brush after just a few months of paint-ing, and she didn’t return to the new hob-by until late in 2014.
The exhibit includes a selection of oil
paintings, mostly featuring landscapes.“She’s really good at putting forth a
mood in a scene,” said Guild President Sonny Boatman. “They really are poetic expressions.”
One of his favorites, displayed in the front window, captures the suggestion of wind moving through the woods.
“She seems to have a great devotion for na-ture, having grown up on a farm in this area,” he said. “But she also paints mountains and areas that are beyond our southern climes.”
Born in Ramer, Tenn., she married Ed Forsythe in Corinth, and they had three sons. Her late husband worked for R.C. Johnson in the auto business.
The gallery hopes her late-in-life cre-ativity will be an inspiration to others.
“Gayle is a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, and, now, a painter,” said Boatman. “It’s never too late to pur-sue a dream.”
Regular gallery hours at 609 North Fillmore are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

WHEELER GROVE — An en-tire day of preaching and sing-ing is coming soon to Alcorn County.
The Mississippi Baptist Evan-gelism Conference will be that and a tad more on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at Wheeler Grove Baptist Church.
Six speakers are slated to preach during the Mississippi Baptist Convention sponsored event.
“We are excited to have the conference on this end of the state,” said Wheeler Grove pas-tor Dr. Kara Blackard. “I believe it is going to be one of the fi nest conferences we have hosted.”
The conference kicks off on Sunday, Jan. 31 at 6 p.m. Bob Smith, of Bob Smith Ministries in Huntsville, Ala. will provide
the praise and worship part of the night. Smith is in charge of the praise and worship for the entire conference.
“Bob is just great,” added Blackard.
Herb Reavis of North Jack-sonville Baptist Church will be bringing the message on Sun-day night.
Monday’s full-day of singing and preaching begins at 9:15 a.m.
“It will be a time of refresh-ing,” said Bro. Blackard. “The speakers and singers are going to be fantastic.”
Reavis and Bob Pitman, of Bob Pitman Ministries, Muscle Shoals, Ala. will be preaching during the morning session.
Following a two-hour break for lunch, the trio of Junior Hill – Junior Hill Ministries, Hart-stelle, Ala., Phil Hoskins and
Mississippi Baptist Convention Board Executive Director/Trea-surer Jim Futral will be speak-ing.
Wheeler Grove will provide dinner at no cost from 4:30-6 p.m.
“We are going to have a giant fi sh fry for 500 people,” said Blackard.
Sammy Gilbreath, Alabama Baptist Convention Board Evangelism Director, will wrap up the conference beginning at 6:30 p.m.
“We want it to be a blessing,” added Blackard. “I don’t believe anyone will be disappointed.”
While most conferences have breakout sessions, that will not be the case at Wheeler Grove.
“It will be strictly one sermon after another with singing,” said Blackard.

Arts in McNairy plans arts digestBY SARAH ROWLAND
For the Daily Corinthian Visual art includes, though is not limited to, traditional mediums
such as painting, pencil, sculpting, or photography.
Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service combine to coor-dinate the event.
“We are at the end of deer season and everyone should be stocked up and ready to make plenty of dishes,” said Mitchell. “It will also be a good time for people to get together and tell their hunting and fi shing stories.”
Registration for the dish contest starts at 5 p.m. The supper is set for a 6 p.m. start. The competition divisions will consist of Water Crit-ter, Feathered, Antlered, Land Critter, Hunting Club, Chili-Stew and Des-serts.
Last year, 151 dishes were entered for a chance at a monetary award.
“Our judges have a tough time deciding the
top three in each divi-sion,” added Mitchell.
No store-bought dish can be entered in the con-test.
Those who aren’t ready to live on the wild side when it comes to the sup-per have other options. Rollin’ Rumps BBQ Ca-tering & Vending will be cooking barbecue and hot dogs for those non-ad-venturous types, accord-ing to Mitchell.
Transportation for those who need assis-tance in delivering dishes from the parking lot to the arena will be pro-vided. 4-H Congressional Delegates will be assisting by taking dishes down to the arena fl oor.
Mitchell hopes the Mis-sissippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks will be bringing back the computerized shooting game available for kids.
“That was very popular
and had kids lined up to shoot all night,” she said.
Two bicycles – one for a girl and one for a boy – will also be raffl ed during the supper.
“Only the kids will be able to buy raffl e tickets for the bikes,” said Mitch-ell. “The winners, who must be present to win, will be available to ride them home.”
An adult and youth gun will also be raffl ed. Alcorn County 4-H is slated to raffl e a grill.
Organizers are in need of businesses to donate door prizes for the annual event.
“We welcome anyone who would like to donate,” said Mitchell. “Anyone in-terested in sponsoring the supper are also welcome to do so.”

Today in
History
Today is Sunday, Jan. 17, the 17th day of 2016. There are 349 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 17, 1916, the Professional Golfers’ Association of America had its beginnings as de-partment store magnate Rodman Wanamaker hosted a luncheon of pro and amateur golfers in New York City. (The PGA of America was formally established on April 10, 1916.)
On this date:
In 1893, the 19th president of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, died in Fremont, Ohio, at age 70. Ha-waii’s monarchy was overthrown as a group of businessmen and sugar planters forced Queen Lili’uokalani to abdicate.
In 1945, Soviet and Polish forces liberated Warsaw during World War II; Swedish diplo-mat Raoul Wallenberg, credited with saving tens of thousands of Jews, disappeared in Hungary while in Soviet custody.
In 1950, the Great Brink’s Robbery took place as seven masked men held up a Brink’s ga-rage in Boston, stealing $1.2 million in cash and $1.5 million in checks and money orders. (Al-though the entire gang was caught, only part of the loot was recovered.)
In 1966, a U.S. Air Force B-52 carrying four unarmed hydrogen bombs crashed on the Spanish coast. (Three of the bombs were quickly recovered, but the fourth wasn’t recovered until April.)
In 1977, convicted murderer Gary Gilmore, 36, was shot by a fir-ing squad at Utah State Prison in the first U.S. execution in a decade.
In 1984, the U.S. Su-preme Court, in Sony Corp. of America v. Uni-versal City Studios, Inc., ruled 5-4 that the use of home video cassette recorders to tape televi-sion programs for private viewing did not violate federal copyright laws.
In 1995, more than 6,000 people were killed when an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 dev-astated the city of Kobe, Japan.
In 1996, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and nine followers were handed long prison sentences for plotting to blow up New York-area land-marks.
In 2001, faced with an electricity crisis, Cali-fornia used rolling black-outs to cut off power to hundreds of thousands of people; Gov. Gray Da-vis signed an emergency order authorizing the state to buy power.

Meeting to fill board seat set for Monday
A special meeting of the Alcorn School Board is scheduled for Monday at 5 p.m., at the school district’s main office.
Board members will announce an appointee for the board’s vacate second district seat.
Second district resi-dents interested in the position are encouraged to present to the board at that time.
The board is required to fill the vacancy with a temporary appointee until the term expires at the end of this year. An election is already sched-uled for the fall with the elected individual to be-gin office in 2017.
Seven residents have already shown interest in the seat including for-mer 2nd District Supervi-sor Ralph Coln, David Boren, Judy Coln, Larry Doran, Jr., Keith Hard-wick, Laura Studdard and Scott Dalton.
Booneville man fled officers, police say
BOONEVILLE — A Booneville man faces a charge of felony fleeing after being accused of failing to stop for an of-ficer.
William David Scar-brough, 37, of 102 Tidwell Drive, was charged with one count felony fleeing and sev-eral misdemeanor charg-es, said Police Chief Michael Ramey.
Officers attempted
to make a traffic stop on Scarbrough on Lake Street Wednesday, Jan. 6.
“It appears he fled from officers and later was involved in a vehicle accident on Lake Street. He apparently lost con-trol of his vehicle and struck a tree,” Ramey said.
Both were taken into custody. A female in the vehicle charged with misdemeanor charges.
No one was hurt, he said.
Bond for Scarbrough was set at $5,000.
Iuka plant receives prototype funding
IUKA — Tishomingo County manufacturer, Orbital ATK has received funding for the develop-ment of a solid rocket propulsion system pro-totype.
The $47 million con-tract from the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center Launch Systems Directorate will support the Evolved Ex-pendable Launch Vehicle program for national se-curity space missions.
The Air Force award includes options for ad-ditional scope, valued at up to $133 million. The company will also contribute additional de-velopment funds to the program.
Orbital ATK’s award is designed to advance proven domestic propul-sion technologies and includes prototype devel-opment.
Work on the program will take place at Orbital ATK’s three facilities in-cluding the Iuka location.
Solid propulsion is used in nearly every space launch vehicle, both domestic and in-ternational, and plays a key role in U.S. strategic and missile defense sys-tems.
New solid rocket mo-tor technology has the capability to provide a smooth lift for payloads, which is especially im-portant when launching sensitive satellites and crewed missions.
Meth charges up in Tippah County
RIPLEY — The Tippah County Sheriff’s Depart-ment has been working to get crystal meth-amphetamine off the streets in the county, making 23 arrests since October, according to WTVA.
Deputies have seized approximately 130 grams of the drug during those 23 arrests. Most individuals arrested had amounts that suggested personal use. Some sus-pects had more, up to 30 or 50 grams in some cases.
Arrests related to the drug are numer-ous around the region. Drugs seem to vary in popularity from region to region. In counties where this drug isn’t as much of a problem, other drugs such as her-oin or cocaine are more prevalent. Despite a
number of reports citing increased use of heroine in the state, that doesn’t seem to be a problem here. The individuals ar-rested in Tippah County since October have not yet been tried. Those cases are scheduled to go to a grand jury for in-dictment in April.
Whispering Woods hosts wedding show
OLIVE BRANCH — The Mid-South Wedding Show & Bridal School, the number one bridal show in the Mid-South will return to the Whis-pering Woods Hotel and Conference Center, located at 7300 Hacks Cross Road in Olive Branch from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 17.
The first 100 brides will receive a free cus-tom high quality print on glass (14”x22”) – a $200,000 value – avail-able exclusively from the Mid-South Wedding Show.
The Super Bridal Sun-day will include multiple fashion shows, vendors, samples, bridal semi-nars, games and lots of wedding planning fun.
Ole Miss scientists prepare flood maps
OXFORD — Emergency responders dealing with breached levees along the Mississippi River have an invaluable tool thanks to Geologists at the University of Missis-sippi.
Ole Miss Scientists
created dozens of maps of the Delta Region list-ing vulnerable sites in the area.
The maps can be used by officials to better prepare for floods by de-termining the locations and conditions of all levees in the Yazoo Ba-sin area, along with the critical facilities--such as hospitals, schools, utility infrastructure and government buildings in each community.
The university hosted a tabletop flood disaster scenario late last year to examine what to do in case of flooding along the Mississippi River.
Shooting in Bolivar under investigation
HARDEMAN COUNTY, Tenn. — The attorney for a man accused in a deadly shooting in Bolivar reached says there’s a different side to the story.
Attorney D.J. Norton describes why his client, Jammy Harbin, shot and killed a man in a home last Friday.
Norton says the 46-year-old Navy veteran shot and killed 31-year-old Timothy Smith to protect his family.
He says Smith had been assaulting Harbin’s son. Photos show the son with bruising his ribs and face.
The case is still under investigation.
Harbin’s next court appearance is set for March 22 in Hardeman County General Ses-sions Court.
been living in the rented mobile home for three weeks. “The storm ripped the roof off the trailer, fl ipped it over on it’s side and collapsed the walls.”
Around 15 days later, Shonda patiently sat across from three Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster Survi-vor Assistants at Falkner Baptist Church in Tippah County.
The FEMA offi cials were registering Shonda for a federal assistance grant that will hopefully help her displaced family get back to normal.
“We lost everything inside that trailer,” she said.
FEMA learned about the Bridges’ family after arriving in the commu-nity earlier this week.
“Disaster Survivor As-sistants are some of the fi rst FEMA people you will see on the ground in an area after a disas-ter has been declared,” said Mike Wade, FEMA External Affairs. “First thing they do is meet with area offi cials, churches and other people in the community to fi nd out which area was hardest hit. This way they don’t go in blindly.”
The team had meet with Falkner Baptist Church pastor Steve Co-hea, who had informed the team of Shonda and her family’s misfortune.
“I had called Bro. Steve about a place to tempo-
rarily rent after the storm and he told me about FEMA,” said Shonda.
The paster said his church had already helped several other families in the area. Sev-eral church members in-cluding assistant pastor Gerry Goforth had also helped with some clean up efforts in the county following the storm.
“People like Bro. Steve are very important to us at helping get the word out that FEMA is here to help,” added Wade.
As Shonda and her family await word on their federal FEMA grant, they’ll continue to look for a new place to
live.“We are praying that
FEMA can help us, but if they can’t we’ll fi gure out something else -- my husband has been keep-ing his pay checks for the last two weeks trying to save up enough for us to rent something else,” added Shonda. “His boss has also helped us out a lot -- he’s actually paying for us a hotel room right now.
This entire experi-ence has been very over-whelming and stressful. I’m just so thankful that we weren’t home at the time of the storm -- that would have been real bad,” she said.
Shonda says God told her to leave home that late December night.

Scams continue to plague residents in the Crossroads area.
One which keeps raising its ugly head in-volves the Internal Revenue Service.
It seems we all pay attention when Uncle Sam comes calling, but don’t be fooled be-cause he may want you, but he’s really after your hard-earned money.
A phone scam in which the caller poses as a representative of the IRS resurfaced among local residents once again last week.
Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell told the Daily Corinthian the county has received a number of complaints on the harassing callers.
“They are either leaving messages or telling them they are with the IRS and they owe the IRS money and a warrant has been issued,” said Caldwell.
According to the IRS, aggressive and so-phisticated phone scams are currently tar-geting people across the county. The scam-mers often sound convincing as they tell the victim they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with ar-rest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license.
In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting. Caldwell said one of the local victims reported the caller made a threat of violence.
“One thing I know is the IRS is not going to call and threaten anybody with a warrant,” noted the sheriff.
Good advice.The agency will also never require a spe-
cifi c payment method, ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone or threaten to bring in local law enforcement to have the person arrested.
Caldwell said residents are welcome to contact the sheriff’s offi ce with concerns about possible scam calls.
Remember, the IRS isn’t going to call you and demand payment. And never, ever give out credit card information over the phone when someone calls to request it.
The IRS scam will continue as long as these crooks catch more prey.

Prayer for today
A verse to share
The joke — author un-known — is now so old as to have become a cliché.
Fellow named Tom, who was in fi nancial diffi culty, walked into his Methodist church and prayed.
‘”God,” Tom said. “I know I haven’t been perfect but I really need to win the lot-tery. I don’t have a lot of money. Please help me out.”
He exited the church, a week went by, and he hadn’t won the lottery, so he walked into a synagogue. ‘”Come on, God,” he said. “I really need this money. My wife needs surgery and I have bills to pay. Please let me win the lottery.”
He left the synagogue, a week went by, and he still didn’t win the lottery. So, he went to a mosque and started to pray again.
“You’re starting to disap-point me, God,” he said. “I’ve prayed and prayed. If you just let me win the lottery, I’ll be a better person. I don’t have to win the jackpot, just enough to get me out of debt. I’ll give some to char-ity, even. Just let me win the lottery.” Tom thought this sealed the deal, so he got up and walked outside.
Just then, the clouds parted and a booming voice
said: “Tom, could you at least buy a lottery tick-et?”
State Rep. Alyce Clarke, D-Jackson, gets the joke – but doesn’t fi nd it par-
ticularly funny. Rep. Clarke has for more than a decade introduced legislation to bring the lottery to Mis-sissippi only to see the bill killed in the committee sys-tem by the infl uence of the strange political bedfellows who team up to kill it.
Strange political bedfel-lows? Yes, the state’s casino gaming interests, their busi-ness and political friends, and the state’s religious community. I cast no stones at the faithful and I under-stand naked self-interest on the part of the casinos and those who partner with them.
It’s like watching a local option liquor election beat-en by a coalition of bootleg-gers and preachers.
Every state in the union sanctions the lotteries ex-cept Alabama, Alaska, Ha-waii, Nevada, Utah, and Mississippi. People in those
six states have to drive across state lines to buy lottery tickets. And in Mis-sissippi, with a $1.3 billion Powerball available, people are doing so in droves.
Forget that the odds of winning are 1-in-292 mil-lion and that ticket buyers are 250 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to win the Powerball. There’s a sucker born ev-ery minute and people have dreams, right?
Rep. Clarke knows those odds and those facts. She’s a solid Christian woman with the highest moral and ethi-cal values. But she sees the lines of cars taking Missis-sippi lottery players to Loui-siana, Arkansas, Tennessee and Florida to buy lottery tickets and she wonders – each year for a decade now – why a portion of those funds can’t stay in Missis-sippi to fund highways or education or public health or a host of other needs.
Each year when Clarke fi les her lottery legislation, legislative colleagues kill this bill and they do so in the name of either protecting the existing casino industry or protecting us from our-selves in terms of religious and moral concerns.
But in Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee, taxpayers aren’t protecting their existing gambling in-terests. They are, however, selling Mississippians as many lottery tickets as we will buy and reaping the tax revenue from it to address problems in their states.
One piece of information missing from the debate is that Mississippi, in compari-son with other states that have commercial casinos, has the third-lowest state gaming tax rate in the country be-hind only Nevada and New Jersey. Mississippi levies a 12 percent tax rate on gross casino gaming revenues, of which 8 percent goes to the state and 4 percent to local governments. Louisiana lev-ies 21.5 percent, plus another 4 percent local tax.
If the current exodus from Mississippi to sur-rounding states to play the Powerball doesn’t bolster Rep. Clarke’s lonely quest, it’s likely that nothing ever will. Strange political bed-fellows? Indeed.

Lottery exodus raises questions
“Slip slidin’ awaySlip slidin’ awayYou know the nearer your
destinationThe more you’re slip sli-
din’ away.” — Paul SimonIt’s happening again.
The “inevitability” of Hill-ary Clinton’s presidential candidacy may not be so inevitable after all. Un-like eight years ago when Barack Obama beat her for the Democratic nomination and ultimately won the of-fi ce Hillary and her sup-porters believed she was entitled to, this time her main opponent is not just Sen. Bernie Sanders, a so-cialist, it is Hillary Clinton herself.
Serious media and con-gressional investigations into Richard Nixon’s Wa-tergate crimes did not begin until after his landslide win in 1972. In Hillary Clinton’s case, damaging investiga-tions are occurring in the middle of her campaign.
Catherine Herridge, chief intelligence correspondent for the Fox News Channel, reports: “The FBI investiga-tion into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as sec-retary of state has expanded
to look at whether the possible ‘in-t e r s e c t i o n ’ of Clinton Foundation work and State Depart-ment busi-ness may have violated public cor-
ruption laws, three intel-ligence sources not autho-rized to speak on the record told Fox News. This track is in addition to the focus on classifi ed material found on Clinton’s personal server.”
As Investors.com notes, “Hillary Clinton’s support among Democrats nation-ally has taken a serious tumble, falling eight points to 43 percent, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll. Support for her chief rival, Bernie Sanders, rose six points to 39 percent. As a result, Clinton’s lead over Sanders, which had been 18 points, is now just four points.”
According to the lat-est NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist College poll, Clinton and Sanders are in tight races in both
Iowa and New Hampshire. With less than three weeks before the Iowa caucuses, such numbers are not good news for any candidate, especially Hillary Clinton, whose veracity and job re-cord in the various offi ces and positions she has held are anything but stellar. Very quickly, Clinton has gone from big mo, to slow mo, to no mo.
Americans wisely don’t fully trust politicians of ei-ther party, but Hillary Clin-ton suffers more than most. Last August, a Quinnipiac University poll found that only 34 percent of those Americans surveyed be-lieved Clinton is “honest and trustworthy.” Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the poll, reports CNN.com, said that Clinton is experi-encing a “continuing slide” with how she is “perceived by voters who continue to say she is not honest and trustworthy.”
Democrats are likely wor-ried not just about whether Clinton can capture the nomination – and the odds still favor that outcome – but whether she will be fur-ther damaged by the FBI
investigations and whether that damage could possi-bly lead to an indictment, as some Republicans hope. Donald Trump has added to Clinton’s woes by bring-ing up her husband’s past behavior toward women at a time when she has posi-tioned herself as the wom-en’s champion.
Voices are being heard among the political class-es about the possibility of replacing Clinton on the Democratic ticket with Vice President Joe Biden should that become necessary. Such a move could severely impair the Democrat’s abil-ity to win the female vote. In a highly unpredictable political year, the Biden sce-nario would take unpredict-ability to a new level.
I saw a bumper sticker re-cently that proclaimed the driver was “Ready for Hill-ary.” With the candidate’s disapproval numbers rising and her approval numbers slip slidin’ away, it doesn’t appear that too many other voters are, in fact, ready.
“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abun-dantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:10
My Father, help me to understand the power of nature, that I may be willing to obey her laws. I pray that I may so live that my life will proclaim itself without need of boasting or deception. Forbid that I should spend my life in perfecting trifl es, and have no leisure to enjoy thy great gifts. Amen.
HENDERSON, Tenn. — Freed-Hardeman University’s College of Biblical Studies will host “Lead Like the Lord,” a free workshop on church leadership, Feb. 12-13.
Keynote addresses will focus on the leadership characteristics of Je-sus. Pat Waggoner, an elder at Nash-ville’s Crieve Hall Church of Christ, will discuss “A Man of Character;” Doug Hays, elder at the North Jack-son (Tennessee) Church of Christ, will focus on “A Man of Compas-sion;” Stephen Rogers, preacher for the Washington Avenue Church of Christ, Evansville, Indiana, will dis-cuss “A Man Who Came to Save;” and Bill Watkins, preacher at Crieve Hall, will talk about Jesus as “A Man of Competence.”
The workshop will also include two group sessions on legal issues facing churches. The fi rst will deal with congregational activities and procedures and the second with
social issues. FHU Vice President for Enrollment Management Matt Vega, who holds a J.D. from Yale Law School, will direct these ses-sions.
Other group sessions include “Church Leadership: State of the Nation” led by Aubrey Johnson, preacher at Peach Tree City (Geor-gia) Church of Christ, and “You Make a Difference,” led by Billy Smith, dean of the FHU College of Biblical Studies.
Elders from Crieve Hall will con-duct a panel discussion entitled, “What Has Worked for Us (and What Hasn’t).” Elders from other congregations will participate in a question-and-answer session re-garding their work.
The following classes have been planned: “Congregational Hiring and Firing Etiquette,” “How to Train Future Elders and Deacons,” “Dynamic Deacons,” “Money Mat-
ters in the Church” and “Congre-gational Communication.” Classes will be taught by Jerrie Barber, retired preacher and interim min-ister; Brandon Lancilotti, FHU accounting teacher; Rogers; and Johnson.
The workshop will begin Fri-day at 9:30 a.m. and conclude Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Organizers plan to record the sessions and make them available on iTunes. Those interested in attending may register online at www.fhu.edu/church-leadership-workshop. The fi rst 50 people to register will re-ceive a free book. In addition, those who register in advance will be provided three free meals.

“The Family Tree: A Lynching in Georgia, A Legacy of Secrets, and My Search for the Truth” by Karen Branan
c.2016, Atria $26; 304 pagesThe skeletons in your closet
don’t rattle around much any-more.
Most of your family has long for-gotten the secrets those skeletons represented, while the ones who haven’t forgotten have made sure they’re not discussed. And it might stay that way forever unless, as in the new book “The Family Tree” by Karen Branan, there’s a jour-nalist in the family.
As her ninety-year-old, still-feisty grandmother lay dying, Kar-en Branan hoped to record some of her G’mamma’s recollections. Mostly, she got the usual things: schoolgirl hobbies, gentlemen call-ers… until G’mamma mentioned a hanging that she’d witnessed as a child.
Branan tucked the story away in her mind, along with other hushed, whispered things that tickled at her memories. Then, nearly ten years after hearing that fi rst hint from a dying woman who embel-
lished her tales, Branan went in search of facts.
What she discovered was some-thing she didn’t want to admit.
While there was always a certain amount of racism in Hamilton , Georgia , there was also evidence that blacks and whites mixed easi-ly, especially in bedrooms and bar-rooms, and except when it befi tted whites to use racism as a tool.
That seemed to be the case in early 1912.
Branan’s great-grandfather was town sheriff then, when his kin, a well-liked local white rapscallion, was shot dead on the front porch of a black woman’s home. Days later, the woman and three men went peacefully with the sheriff to jail; they had no reason to mistrust him because he didn’t arrest them. He took them in, he said, for their own safety and he seemed to have tried to protect them. But Branan discovered that the whole thing was contrived: in the end, the sheriff purposefully stepped away, shielding himself and leaving the prisoners unsafe. Around mid-night on January 23, 1912, a mob marched the four through town and hung them from a tree - and life in Hamilton went on as usual
until an unexpected faction put a stop to what became an escalation of violence…
Reading “The Family Tree” is somewhat like looking for toma-toes in a fi eld of weeds: you know there’s something worthwhile there, but you must possess pa-tience to fi nd it. You have to want to step over what you don’t need.
Sadly, what you probably don’t need comprises much of this book: author Karen Branan digs up names, names, and more names, which serve to lay the territory in her memoir, but which become just fl uff to anybody who didn’t live in Harris County, Georgia. That, of course, is the reason for the title, but it’s overwhelming.
The worthiness here lies in what you’ll read otherwise: actions that are incomprehensible today but shockingly common a century ago, heroism, legendary bravery, and a journalist who freely admits that she didn’t even know what she didn’t know.
Now, for me, the latter outdid the former, but I was willing to wait for it to happen. You may not be; start “The Family Tree,” and you may become impatient. Or start it, and you may be rattled.
‘Family Tree’ finds skeletons in the closetBY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER

Department of Archives and History to seal the concrete on the historic building, but approval may be unlikely because of the stringent require-ments for historic struc-tures. If approved, sealing the concrete would allevi-ate the recurring expense.
The project would in-clude some mortar re-pairs on the historic por-tion of the building and, to a lesser extent, on the 1954 portion.
“Anytime there is open mortar or loose mortar joints, it’s going to allow water to get in, and that water is going to seep through,” said Childress.
Structural repair may be
needed in a couple of spots where brick has pushed out. Some brick facings also need work, as well as the front entrance plant-ers that have lost the mor-tar that held them in place.
The district will also have the glass block walls fi xed. Some matching glass blocks, apparently from another glass block wall taken down some-time in the past, are avail-able to replace the broken glass blocks.
The exterior work can be completed while school is in session.
The district recently had repairs done on an old coal-burning chimey that was causing issues for the former high school building.

81, died peacefully in Ocean Springs on Thurs-day, Jan. 14, 2016 surrounded by his loved ones.
Mr. McNair is survived by his daughter, Leah McNair Christensen, son-in-law, Kevin J. Chris-tensen and beloved grandson, Soren Asher Chris-tensen of New Orleans, Louisiana; sister-in-law, Wayne Tice Brawner; nieces, Freida Brawner Stanford and husband Larry and Jenny Brawn-er Day and husband John; and nephew.

textile experiences be-yond just moving a com-puter mouse. Even small things we can do it our laps as we sit and watch television or wait in the car line at school can be empowering. The mere concept of creating some-
thing that wasn’t in exis-tence before is also very liberating.
■ Get some shut-eye — Sleep deprivation can ef-fect our entire bodies. So, be sure you are getting enough restorative rest. For those with insomnia or trouble getting relax-ing, melatonin has been shown to bring a more restful night’s sleep, but should only be used under the care of a physician.
■ Practice good nutri-tion — Consuming the right foods has been prov-en to increase energy lev-els and combat symptoms of depression and fatigue.
■ Set the mood you want — Candles and wax warm-ers add a warm glow and can fi ll our homes with fragrant, uplifting scents.
■ Stay hydrated — Our bodies cannot function properly without water and thirst often masquer-ades as hunger. Drinking enough water is not only essential to our vital or-gans, but it also helps to fl ush out toxins.
■ Change out your de-cor — We are creatures who respond to our envi-ronments. By lightening up our environment, we lighten up our spirits as well. No one wants to be stuck in a dark, depress-ing room. So, opt for lighter, happier colors. Adding indoor plants is also a great touch as it
brings feelings of new life into our homes. Some-thing as small as changing out dark throw pillows or a comforter in favor of brighter, more vibrant colors can make a huge difference.
■ Dress appropriately — When we are cold, we hunched over and tend to hold our breath. By dress-ing in warm layers, we not only make ourselves more comfortable, but our breathing becomes less labored.
■ Enjoy a nice warm bath — There’s nothing like a good soak in the tub to warm the cockles of the heart. Epsom salt and various essential oils can be added to soothe tired achy muscles, relax the body or uplift the spirit.
■ Shake up your ward-robe — Add some fl air to winter fashions by invest-ing in a colorful new scarf or pulling out your favor-ite pair of comfy boots.
■ Make time for your-self — Use the winter season as a time of refl ec-tion and enjoy some “me” time. Have an at-home spa day, enjoy, curl up with a good book or enjoy a favorite movie — what-ever makes you happy.
■ Tackle indoor proj-ects — Take advantage of being inside by complet-ing interior chores and projects such as painting organizing and purging.
While it is getting dark a lot sooner, remember that you have the same 24 hours in the day, just not as bright. This time of year, it really isn’t conve-nient be doing stuff out-side, so why not make the most of it when you have to stay in anyway?
■ Spend time with loved ones — As human beings, we hunger for visceral face-to-face connections which we often miss out on by hiding behind our cellphones or other de-vices. Technology tends to isolate us and close us off to others so it is impor-tant to power down and enjoy the time we have with others whether it be sitting down to a nice meal, a nice glass of wine or a cup of coffee. This is a wonderful time of year for get-togethers and group activities because even the smallest of tasks can be improved with company.
■ Take advantage of local offerings — Check out that yoga, dance or martial arts class you’ve always wanted to join, but never found the time. The Alcorn County Exten-sion Offi ce and the Alcorn County Career and Tech-nology Center offer a va-riety of classes and are ex-cellent resources for those interested in art, photog-raphy, fi tness, quilting, welding, computers and many other subject areas.

In a new memoir, “My Time with the Kings: A Reporter’s Recollections of Martin, Coretta and the Civil Rights Movement,” retired Associated Press reporter Kathryn John-son describes civil rights fl ashpoints she covered in the 1960s and details her close relationship with the movement’s leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and his family.
As the nation marks the King holiday, here is an excerpt from John-son’s book, http://www.ap.org/books/my-time-with-the-kings/index.html, in which she recalls an in-depth talk with King at his dining room table with his wife Coretta and, years later, her last inter-view with him, shortly be-fore his assassination.
1964
On a fi ercely cold win-ter night in 1964, I was trudging alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as he led a group of striking marchers at Scripto, a pen and pencil-manufacturing plant near downtown Atlanta.
Bundled in a heavy coat, my teeth chatter-ing from the cold, I asked King the usual questions: “How much pay raise are they asking? Where are negotiations at this point? Do you plan to continue striking?”
Scripto workers had
walked off the job, de-manding equal pay with whites for skilled and nonskilled work. King sympathized with the strikers, many of whom were members of his church. The straggly little group hurrying along the cold, dark city street drew little media attention ex-cept from one or two local TV reporters (and myself, from the AP).
By sheer luck, that as-signment led to my meet-ing later in the privacy of the King home and to my personal introduction to his incredible gifts as an orator.
King, ending the freez-ing march at 11:15 p.m., told me, “This is a danger-ous section of town. Let me escort you to your car.”
When we reached my car several blocks away, I offered to drive him home. At that time, the Kings lived on nearby Johnson Street.
As I stopped the car to let King out, his wife, Coretta, pregnant with their last child, came to the door and said, “Come on in and have some hot coffee. You’ll warm up.” King led me to a phone in his offi ce, and I quickly called in my strike story.
I then joined the couple at their dining room table, sipping coffee and talking about what had become known as the Movement.
I’d long been impressed with King’s personal mag-netism and fl ow of words
at news conferences, but sitting at their table late that night, I was struck by his simple brilliance as a leader. His ability to put into words the longings, the hopes and dreams of his people, their anguish and their cry for human dignity, clearly was a great gift.
After that night — al-though King was known for never calling reporters by their fi rst names — he always called me Kathryn.
King was to me a young, well-educated Baptist minister who came out of the Jim Crow churches of the South preaching brotherhood and non-violence. But it was into a land fi lled with violence. Blacks were being beaten, lynched and terrorized by Ku Klux Klansmen who drove into their neighbor-hoods wearing their long white robes and hooded masks to frighten them.
King, too, had been threatened — a bomb had been thrown at his home in Montgomery, Alabama, and later in At-lanta, Klan night riders had burned a cross in his front yard.
It was 1:15 a.m. before I left the King home, and both King and Coretta stood at the door waiting until I drove off.
At home that morn-ing, I took a breakfast tray into the den so that I could watch TV news. When the Scripto strike story came on, my moth-
er, spotting me as the only white person in the crowd and walking alongside King, questioning him, said, “Honey, be careful. I’m afraid someday some-one’s going to try to kill that man.”
1968
Clad in a neat, dark suit and sitting comfortably in a swivel chair in his offi ce with its dingy green walls and bare fl oors, Martin Luther King didn’t seem like the revolutionary leader he was.
I had no idea that this would be my last inter-view with him — it was in 1968, not long before he was assassinated.
King had begun speak-ing of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society — the president’s lifelong dream to revitalize our big cities, protect natural resources and guarantee educational opportuni-ties for all. But that great hope, King told me, was being shot down in the rice paddies of Vietnam.
“A few years ago was a shining moment in the civil rights struggle,” he said. “Then came the buildup in Vietnam, and I watched the program broken as if it were an idle plaything of a society gone mad with war.”
The nation’s focus was on the war, and King’s fi erce distaste for it kept recurring. “The war must be stopped,” he said. ...

Election challenges may be solved soon
JACKSON — Mississip-pi legislators could soon resolve two election dis-putes that have lingered since early November.
Attorneys made clos-ing arguments Friday to committees considering candidates’ requests to overturn results of one House race that went to a tiebreaker and one Senate race that a for-mer lawmaker won by 64 votes.
Chairmen said a Sen-ate committee could make a recommenda-tion Monday to the full Senate, and a House committee could send findings to the full House on Tuesday.
Democratic Rep. Bo Eaton of Taylorsville and Republican chal-lenger Mark Tullos of Raleigh tied in District 79 in Smith and Jasper counties. Eaton won by drawing straws, but Tul-los says the election never should have been tied because he believes some improper votes were counted.
1 of 2 men found shot on road dies
HOLLY SPRINGS — One of two Marshall County men found shot on a rural road has died, while the other remains in critical condition.
Marshall County Coroner James Anderson says 34-year-old Jamon Moton and 31-year-old Will A. Phillips were found on a road north-west of Holly Springs Friday night by a passing motorist.
Each man was shot once in the head. Ander-son says it’s unclear if the men were shot on the road.
Marshall County Sher-iff Kenny Dickerson says Phillips died where he was found late Friday night. Moton was taken by helicopter to Regional Medical Center in Mem-phis, Tennessee.
Dickerson says one of the men borrowed a black Dodge Charger found burned about three miles from where the men were found. Dickerson says at least one other person was in the car.
Additional counties eligible for public aid
OXFORD — The Fed-
eral Emergency Man-agement Agency has declared three more Mis-sissippi counties eligible for public assistance after December’s deadly tornadoes.
FEMA on Friday said Coahoma, Panola and Quitman counties were approved for all catego-ries of assistance includ-ing debris removal. Ben-ton, Marshall and Tippah counties were previously approved.
Gov. Phil Bryant thanked FEMA for its quick response to the state’s request for the additional aid, which he says will help the state begin long-term recovery from the storms.
Under the program, typically, the federal share is 75 percent with the remaining 25 percent split between state and local governments at 12.5 percent each.
Damage assessments continue in several counties to determine eligibility for public and individual assistance.
Animal control seeks registration program
JACKSON — Jackson pet owners may soon have to pay up if the city implements a mandatory pet registration program.
The Clarion-Ledger reports concerns about a Dec. 18 attack by fe-ral dogs at the Jackson zoo that left six animals dead brought renewed interest to the issue of dogs roaming loose in the city.
Jackson Animal Control Manager Paul Perry says he’s been developing a proposal that would require pet owners to register their animals with the city and pay a fee. He didn’t specify an amount.
Perry says he wants lower fees for owners who have had their pets spayed and neutered — which animal control provides at no cost for animals adopted from the city’s shelter — as a way to combat overpopu-lation.
School wants to fire teacher after attack
JACKSON — School of-ficials say they will seek to fire a teacher who body-slammed a student into the pavement out-side a high school.
Freddrick Murray, chief academic officer for high schools at Jackson Pub-
lic Schools, tells local media that video of the Friday incident posted by a student is “very com-pelling.”
It shows a Jim Hill High School teacher picking up a student and throw-ing the student to the ground.
Murray says security officers were called after the student was aggres-sive toward a teacher. However, Murray says the student was under control when the teacher attacked him. He says officials could also pur-sue criminal charges.
Police investigating deaths of mom, son
MCCOMB — McComb police are investigating the deaths of a mother and son found shot in-side their house.
Police say a family member found the bodies of 64-year-old Barbra But-ler Conerly and 33-year-old Shawn M. Butler, both with gunshot wounds, on Friday morning.
Detective Shannon Sullivan told The Enter-prise-Journal that the pair probably died hours before their bodies were discovered. He says the bodies were found in different areas of the house.
Police Chief Scott McK-enzie says the house showed no signs of forced entry. He says po-lice are treating the case as a double homicide.
Latin Kings member charged with murder
LUCEDALE — A docu-mented member of the Latin Kings street gang used a hammer to beat to death a transgender teen who once consid-ered him a boyfriend.
A George County grand jury indicted 28-year-old Joshua Vallum in the killing of 17-year-old Mercedes Williamson, of Theodore, Alabama. Williamson’s death made national news last year when Caitlyn Jenner re-membered her during an acceptance speech for the Arthur Ashe award at the ESPY awards.
The Sun Herald re-ported that Vallum was transferred Friday from the East Central Missis-sippi Correctional Facility to the Jackson County jail to undergo a mental evaluation. He was to return to the prison in Meridian once the exami-nation was completed.

No trace of missing boy after two days
JACKSON, Tenn. — Officials are continuing to search for a missing 2-year-old boy in West Tennessee who wan-dered away from his grandmother.
Noah Chamberlin has been missing since Thursday afternoon while walking in the woods in the Pinson community with his grandmother and sister.
The Jackson Sun reported that the Ten-nessee Bureau of In-vestigation has set up a command post at the Pinson Fire Station to assist in the search.
More than 300 vol-unteers showed up Friday night to aid in the search but no sign of the boy was found and it was called off around midnight.
Man dresses as old woman for photo op
CRANSTON, R.I. — A city official who wanted to include an elderly woman in a photo op about a snow shovel-ing program persuaded a middle-aged man to dress up in a wig, ear-rings, lipstick and a dress.
The man stood next to the mayor of Crans-ton at a news confer-ence touting the pro-gram and wore a name tag that said “Cranston Senior Home Resident.”
WJAR-TV uncovered the ruse in reports this week.
It is unclear why of-ficials decided to use a stand-in for a woman during the Jan. 5 news conference, which was held at the senior center where the man worked as a van driver.
Sue Stenhouse, the city’s director of senior services, organized the news conference. She resigned last week, ac-cording to Rob Coupe, the city’s director of ad-ministration.
Man wins $2 million in 1st lottery game
Lottery officials say a 19-year-old central Florida man and first time lottery player used the numbers off some-one else’s unpurchased Power ticket to win $2 million.
Frederick Walker said there was already a
completed play slip at the Sav-A-Ton in Lake Mary where he pur-chased his ticket and decided to try his hand using those numbers.
He matched five num-bers in Wednesday’s drawing to win $1 mil-lion, but added an extra feature which doubled his prize to $2 million.
This recent series of Powerball rollovers has generated historically high jackpots, causing a bit of lottery fever across the country.
A small-town Tennes-see couple bought one of three magic tickets splitting the world-re-cord $1.6 billion Power-ball jackpot. But no one has produced the other winning tickets sold in Florida and California.
Slow start for NY’s marijuana program
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — When medical marijuana became avail-able this month in New York, Brittany Barger was one of the first patients to navigate the state’s rules and make it through a dispensary door.
“When you’re as sick as I am, you’ll try any-thing,” said Barger, who has ovarian cancer that has spread through her 27-year-old body.
New York’s program — one of the strictest out of the 23 states that allow medical marijuana — has had a widely anticipated slow beginning, but there are signs it’s gaining mo-mentum.
The state Health Department says more than 165 patients have now qualified, a figure that’s more than dou-bled in a week but is still just a sliver of the potential patient pool. More than 225 doctors have now taken the state-required training, up from about 150 last week.
Obama signs order in Flint water crisis
DETROIT — Presi-dent Barack Obama signed an emergency declaration Saturday that clears the way for federal aid for Flint, Michigan, which is un-dergoing a drinking wa-ter crisis.
The White House also said the Federal Emer-gency Management Agency will coordinate
all disaster relief ef-forts to “alleviate the hardship and suffering” on residents. FEMA has been authorized to provide water, filters, cartridges and other items for 90 days. Flint can get up to $5 mil-lion in direct funding, though the state must match 25 percent and more money can come through an act of Con-gress.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder requested emer-gency and disaster dec-larations late Thursday, saying needs “far ex-ceed the state’s capa-bility,” and added that emergency measures could cost $41 million. Snyder said Saturday that Obama denied the disaster declaration request based on the legal requirement that such relief is intended for natural events, fires, floods or explosions.
Obama: Revamp jobless insurance
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Saturday proposed changes to the U.S. unemployment insurance system that he says would offer more security to the jobless and encourage experienced workers to rejoin the workforce, even if it means taking a pay cut.
“We shouldn’t just be talking about unem-ployment; we should be talking about re-em-ployment,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.
The president’s pro-posal would require states to provide wage insurance to workers who lose their jobs and find new employment at lower pay. The insur-ance would replace half of the lost income, up to $10,000 over two years. It would be avail-able to workers who were with their prior employer for three years and make less than $50,000 in their new job.
The proposal also would require states to make unemployment insurance available to many part-time and low-income workers, and it would mandate that states provide at least 26 weeks of unemploy-ment insurance. Nine states fall short of the benchmark, the White House said.

Cornerstone Insurance & Financial, Inc. has an-nounced its purchase of the former Brown Insur-ance Agency location in Iuka on Tuesday, Decem-ber 29, 2015.
The Brown Insur-ance Agency located at 107 South Fulton Street since 1976, in the historic downtown Iuka opened January 4, 2016 as a branch of Cornerstone Insurance & Financial.
R. L. Brown, Jr. found-er of the Brown Agency in May 1954, merged with Gaines Agency in 1959 and the Pyle and Pyle Agency in 1976, (which had been in continuous operation since 1895). Barbara Ann Waddey joined the agency in 1961 followed by Robert (Bob-o) Brown in 1975 and Ruby Smith in 1978. Wad-dey passed away in 2000; Brown and Smith are still active in the agency today and will continue working with Cornerstone.
In 1996 when new banking regulations were adopted, Farmers & Mer-chants Bank was one of the fi rst banks in the state to offer insurance ser-vices. FMBank teamed up with 3 of the oldest insurance agencies in the Northeast region: Stutts & Long in Booneville, Town
and Country in Booneville and Gentry Insurance in Baldwyn to establish the independent insurance agency of Cornerstone In-surance & Financial. Each of these agencies has been serving the area for almost three quarters of a century. Cornerstone Sec-retary-Treasurer & Agent, John Floyd reinforced, “Cornerstone is a strong agency with 9 licensed
agents and over 90 years combined insurance ex-perience who enjoys one-on-one service and will continue the legacy of the Brown Agency.”
“On behalf of Corner-stone and FMBank,” stat-ed John Haynes, Presi-dent & CEO and Paul Haynes, Jr., Chairman, “We are excited to add the Brown Agency to our branches, extending our
reach in the insurance market into Tishomingo County.”
Cornerstone with the addition of Iuka is com-prised of 2 other full-service offi ces located at 112 North Third Street in Baldwyn and 1108 North Second Street in Boonev-ille which are managed by Craig Gaines of Baldwyn and John Floyd of Boon-eville.

NEW YORK — Holiday shoppers fl ocked online during the critical holi-day shopping season, but overall sales in November and December were dis-appointing.
Sales rose 3 percent to about $626.14 billion, ac-cording to The National Retail Federation. That’s below the forecast for a 3.7 percent gain the group had expected.
The group blamed the shortfall on unusually warm weather that led to
bigger-than-planned dis-counts on clothing and other cold-weather items. It also pointed out that stores don’t have the abil-ity to raise prices in a still tough spending environ-ment, leading to worse-than-expected defl ation in electronics like TVs and other categories.
The disappointing total holiday sales fi gure un-derscores challenges for retailers ahead as shop-pers continue to shift away from physical stores and research and buy on-line. Indeed, online sales, which are included in the fi gure, rose 9 percent to $105 billion. That’s high-er than the group’s origi-nal forecast of 6 percent to 8 percent growth.
“Make no mistake about it, this was a tough holiday season for the industry,” said Matthew Shay, National Retail Federation’s CEO.
The holiday season is a crucial period of retailers because it accounts for as much as 40 percent of re-tailer’s annual sales. But the season has exposed the challenges retailers
now face as more shop-pers move their purchas-es online.
While many retailers have said online sales surged during the holiday season, there are trade-offs. Online shoppers tend to be more targeted when they buy, and typi-cally buy only what they need on their list. Stores still need shoppers in the store because there’s a big opportunity for them to buy other items.
At the same time, the shift online is forc-ing stores to rethink the size of their stores and how big their entire fl eet should be. In response to heavy competition from online leader Amazon.com, major stores have been investing in bigger distribution centers to speed up online deliveries and push free shipping.
Against this background, several major stores have announced they are closing stores. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest re-tailer, said it is closing 269 stores globally, including 159 in the U.S. as it looks to retool its business.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian
Daily Corinthian • Sunday, January 17, 2016 • 9A
DEAR ABBY: Our son and his wife have blessed us with a darling 6-year-old granddaugh-ter, “Sophie,” who is the love of our lives.
We live nearby and are very close.
When we received her kindergarten school pho-to, she had on heavy lipstick and light eye shadow.
My hus-band and I couldn’t contain our shock.
Her parents said they thought she looked beautiful, and So-phie was made up that way be-cause “she wanted to.”
We were speechless.When we pick her up on
weekends, she sometimes wears makeup, too.
It makes her look like a 30-year-old.
We think that wearing it while playing dress-up is fun, but do-ing it outside the home takes away from her natural beauty.
What are your thoughts on this? -- TAKEN ABACK IN KANSAS
DEAR TAKEN ABACK: Forgive me if this seems old-fashioned, but I think that a kin-dergartener should be allowed to remain a child for at least a
few years. I’m not only surprised that
your son and daughter-in-law would send their 6-year-old to school wearing makeup, I am equally surprised that the school would allow it.
And when Sophie spends the weekend with you, don’t you think YOU should make the rules about whether she’s al-lowed to wear makeup?
Someone has to draw the line, but when you do, be pre-pared for some battles.
DEAR ABBY: My mother passed away a few weeks ago. She lived with my husband and me for the last 2 1/2 years of her life, and I was her caregiver.
The week after she passed, my husband did not stay home even one day with me.
It was the loneliest, saddest time I have ever experienced.
I feel he should have stayed with me without my having to ask him. He says all I had to do was ask.
Frankly, I don’t think it was up to me to ask to be comforted. Who do you think is right? -- GRIEVING IN CLEARWATER, FLA.
DEAR GRIEVING: Please ac-cept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved mother.
You were a loving, caring daughter and, I’m sure, a com-fort to her in her last years.
It is sad that you and your husband have such a poor level
of communication. You should not have had to
ask him to remain by your side in your hour of need.
He promised to do that at the altar, and from where I sit, he failed you.
DEAR ABBY: I am a woman married to a woman.
Recently we attended her family reunion. Her fi rst cousins (all female) decided to have a meeting. When my wife re-turned from the discussion, her mom asked her what it was about.
My wife replied that they were planning a trip with just the fe-male cousins -- no men. I feel hurt and excluded, as I am a woman, too.
Am I wrong? I can understand not wanting husbands on an all-girl trip, but am I not the excep-tion? -- OUT OF THE LOOP IN ALBERTA, CANADA
DEAR OUT: No. This trip is for cousins only; no spouses.
Although all the other spous-es are men, you are not a cous-in, so stop looking for reasons to be hurt.
My advice is to let it go.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). All is as it should be. You’ll give pri-ority to the youngest and small-est human being in your care and the rest will fall into a natural, logi-cal order. If only every day were so simple!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re driven to do what the oth-ers are doing and this will stir up mixed feelings. On the one hand, at least a road map is attainable. On the other hand, it will be chal-lenging to make your work stand out from the rest.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re comfortable with “full blast” mode, and so are the others you’re working and play-ing with today. Just don’t be surprised if their version of “full blast” only goes to about half what yours does.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t worry; it’s not narcissistic to assume that someone likes be-ing liked by you. You’re actually just reading the obvious signs and fi nding a classic interpreta-tion.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s like you’re engaging fate in an arm-wrestling match. Do you think you can win this one? Well, you can. This is not a case of fi xed destiny. Get strong; get leverage, and believe.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today’s victory will be quiet and personal, perhaps not even suitable to share with anyone you know, if only because most people wouldn’t understand the nuanced profundity of it. But you know. That’s what counts.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What can you do to lower the stress level? It wouldn’t be so hard, really. All you have to do is be bold enough for a few mo-ments to either ask for help or be slightly more assertive about en-forcing your boundaries.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll apply your artistic talent to things that most people don’t think of as being artistic endeav-ors. As a result, you’ll get a spe-cial quality of attention and gain a few fans.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You need time to sit around and do nothing. Otherwise your head will get so crammed with the responsibilities and busywork of ordinary life that it won’t have any room to be brilliant.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You still feel like you have to repay someone for a past kindness (or for extended years of kindnesses), but you don’t. If you’re happy and productive, that is payment enough.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Somehow the people around you seem to think you’re interruptible and eager to respond to their ev-ery want. You’re not as eager as they think, but, you have to ad-mit, it’s nice to be needed.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may fi nd yourself craving solitude that is not coming any-time soon -- that is, unless you chisel out bits of it from your crowded life. It will be worth the effort, as there’s a knotty problem you need to reason out in a solo moment.

Eighty-fi ve and counting.That’s how many goals 4th-year
Corinth Lady Warrior head soccer coach Cameron Glenn has logged for senior Sierra Maness.
The recent East Central Community College signee reached a huge mile-stone last Friday against Ripley, col-lecting her 100th career varsity goal. She had 19 goals in some 37 games when Glenn gladly fi lled the girls’ coaching void.
“Back when I made the decision to move from Horn Lake to Corinth, hav-ing a young up and coming 9th grader named Sierra Maness on my roster for the next four years played a role in that decision,” said Glenn.
Glenn also has his milestone mo-ment earlier in the season with his 150th career varsity win — a 12-0 deci-sion over Byhalia on Dec. 4, 2015.
“I knew that she was special and I knew it would be fun to go and watch her reach beyond average and redefi ne Corinth girls soccer. She’s done that.”
Ironically, Glenn’s Lady Eagles held Maness scoreless on eight shots in Horn Lake’s 1-0 win during her eighth-grade season. She’s not listed as play-ing in as earlier matchup that season, a season-opening 4-0 win by Horn Lake in the Lewisburg Classic.
Maness tallied four goals in a 6-0 win over Ripley on Jan. 8 to reach the mile-stone. It was her fi fth career four-goal game, and second against the Lady Ti-gers.
“She’s the second player that I’ve had the chance to coach to reach the milestone,” said Glenn. “People know who No. 3 is when she steps on the fi eld and opposing goal keepers es-pecially do.”
Maness began her career in the seventh-grade scoring four goals, including the fi rst of her 28 multi-goal games, in Corinth’s 16 games.
She tallied 15 as an eighth-grader and has posted 20 or more the last four seasons. A pair of goals in a 15-0 drubbing of division foe Byha-lia on Friday were her 22nd and 23rd, a career high besting the 22 netters as a sophomore.
Corinth took a 10-6-1 mark into Saturday’s game at Saltillo. The Lady Warriors are 5-2 in Division 1-4A — both losses to New Albany — and will be a No. 2 seed and open the playoffs on the road.
As the season winds down, so does the prep career of the six-year soccer veteran
“There’s plenty of people happy to see her walk across a stage in May, and I’m not one of them,” Glenn said of Maness upcoming gradu-ation.
“I’m proud of her. She’s a special talent.” Here’s a by-the-numbers sampling of Man-
ess’ six-year soccer career, a ... “Sierra Mist”:
5 — Games with 4 goals, most recently against Ripley — her 97th, 98th, 99th and 100th — on Jan. 8.
7 — Multi-goal games through Friday, a ca-reer-best matching her sophomore season.
9 — Games with exactly 3 goals.12 — Games in which she tallied a goal in
2011-12 and 2013-14, a season best14 — Games with exactly 3 goals.20 — Goals or more she’s scored in each of
the past four seasons.23 — Goals this season through Friday, a ca-
reer best.25 — Career assists through Friday.28 — Games with 2 or more goals.54 — Points recorded this season, a career
best.57 — Games, including 54 of the last 106, in
which the senior has scored a goal.104 — Career goals she carried into Satur-
day’s game with Saltillo.122 — Career games, unoffi cially. The se-
nior has played 106 the last fi ve seasons. CHS played 16 games her 7th grade year, but no sea-son-ending stats outside of goals and assists are available.
233 — Career points, using the soccer stan-dard of two points per goal and one per assist.
The Corinth High School Academic and Performing Arts Center library was busy over a two-day span.
Corinth High School seniors Sierra Maness and Anna Kayte Webb recently signed scholar-ships to extend their soccer ca-reers past the prep level.
Maness inked with East Central Community College on Monday, while Webb got a jump on her teammate and
signed with Northwest Com-munity College last Friday.
Webb, a veteran on the soft-ball fi eld will head to Senatobia despite playing less than two seasons for the Lady Warriors.
“I am really proud of AK, the girl just came out a year ago to play soccer for the fi rst time, and now she’s getting her school paid for to go play this game,” said CHS girls’ head coach Cameron Glenn. “She’s phenomenal and has the ath-letic ability and aggressiveness that just cannot be taught. It’s been really exciting to watch her grow in the sport. She’s worked really hard and it’s

SELMER, Tenn. — Critical missed free throws and failure to rebound a missed free throw with seven seconds left in the game proved to be the downfall for Mc-Nairy Central in its 54-50 loss to Lexing-ton on Friday.
Trailing 50-47, McNairy tied the game at 50-50 when Brandon Walker sank three free throws with 38 seconds re-maining in the game. He had been fouled
on a three-point try.Lexington’s Kylin Johnson scored with
28 seconds left to put LHS up 52-50. MCHS failed to score again after Walker hit his free throws.
McNairy missed two free throws with 19 seconds left that would have tied the game. Keenan Davis grabbed the re-bound on the second miss, but his shot was blocked and Lexington picked up the loose ball.
Johnson hit one free throw with seven
ticks on the clock to make it 53-50 and LHS rebounded his miss on the second try to put the game away.
Walker was outstanding inside the fi -nal two minutes scoring the Bobcats fi nal eight points, but it was not enough to pull out the victory. He fi nished with a game-high 21 points.
The contest was close throughout with the Bobcats taking a 23-22 lead into halftime. Lexington took advantage of MCHS missing key free throws in the
fourth quarter to secure the district win.LHS outscored McNairy 19-14 in the
fourth quarter.Walker’s 21 was followed by Vinnie
White with 10, Davis with eight points, Jeremiah Sanders contributed seven, and Travon McClendon scored four points.
The Bobcats will go on the road to face Fayette-Ware on Tuesday.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Tennessee needed a spark this weekend on the road, having dropped three of its fi rst four SEC games. Even with senior Armani Moore not available, head coach Rick Barnes found his offense elsewhere.
Tennessee’s Kevin Punt-er and Detrick Mostella combined for 47 points and the Volunteers held off Mississippi State 80-75 on Saturday.
“This was as good of a team win as you could have,” said Barnes. “Ev-eryone in the game con-tributed in some way. We’ve led every game at halftime in the SEC and I told our guys that Missis-sippi State would make a push. We had to respond to it and we did.
“Kevin Punter was ter-rifi c and Detrick hit some big shots. It was just a good team win.”
It marked the fi rst road win of the season for the Volunteers (9-8, 2-3 SEC). Mostella had a game-high 24 points while Punter had 23 points and fi ve as-sists.
Mississippi State (7-9, 0-4) is off to a 0-4 start in SEC play for the fi rst time since 1992-93.
Mississippi State was led by freshman Quinndary Weatherspoon, who made his fi rst career start in the SEC. Weatherspoon had a career-best 23 points while Gavin Ware had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs.
It was Ware’s fi fth dou-
ble-double of the season and the 17th double-dou-ble of his career. Ware has now scored in double dig-its in 16 straight games to open the season.
Tennessee shot 47 per-cent for the game and made 10 of 23 three-pointers and had just eight turnovers. Missis-sippi State shot just 42.4 percent from the fl oor and 5 of 19 beyond the arc.
“Obviously, it was a disappointing loss,” Mis-sissippi State coach Ben Howland said. “We got down by double digits again and fought back. But I take full responsibility. I thought our zone would help us win some games but it hasn’t worked out that way.
“Our guys wanted to play man (in the second half) and that is what I believe in. We got away (from the zone) and we are going to live and die with our man defense. Our kids prefer that but we got to play aggressively with-out fouling.”
The Bulldogs held a 40-31 rebounding advantage, including a 17-8 advantage on the offensive boards.
Tennessee held the sec-ond-half lead for the du-ration and led by as many as 11 in the second half. A layup by Weatherspoon cut the Tennessee lead to 60-59 with 5:15 left but the Bulldogs would get no closer.
Tennessee used its pe-rimeter shooting to take control in the fi rst half. The Volunteers trailed 9-8 in the opening minutes
but reeled off 13 unan-swered points, including a trio of 3-pointers, to grab a 21-9 lead with 13:23 left in the fi rst half.
Mississippi State man-aged to cut the defi cit to 29-24 following a 3-point-er from I.J. Ready. But the Volunteers fi nished off the half with their sixth 3-pointer and held a 38-27 lead at halftime.
Weatherspoon was 8 of 15 from the fl oor and 3 of 5 on 3-pointers. Malik New-man and Ready each had six assists for Mississippi State.
“Q (Weatherspoon) is one of our fi ve best play-ers,” said Howland. “So starting him tonight, this was the right team to do it against because Tennes-see was playing small. I am not sure if he can do it every night but regardless, he is going to play major minutes.”
Tennessee shot 50 per-cent in the fi rst half, in-cluding 6 of 14 beyond the arc. The Bulldogs man-aged just 35.7 shooting in
the fi rst half and were just 2 of 9 on 3-pointers.
Tips-InsTennessee: Senior for-
ward Armani Moore did not play Saturday af-ter injuring his ankle on Wednesday in the Vol-unteers’ loss at Georgia. Moore entered the week-end as the Volunteers’ sec-ond-leading scorer at 12.4 points a game.
Mississippi State: On Saturday, the Bulldogs wore throw-back uniforms to honor an all-white 1963 squad that had to escape town in order to play an integrated Loyola (Illli-nois) team in the Bulldogs’ fi rst-ever NCAA Tourna-ment. Also on Saturday, the Bulldogs recognized the 1991 squad, a group that won the SEC regular-season championship and the program’s fi rst SEC title since the 1963 squad.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans are keeping Mike Mularkey as their coach.
The man who handled the fi nal nine games af-ter the team fi red Ken Whisenhunt this season was chosen Saturday, just hours after the Titans wrapped up their fourth

Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said Mular-key won the job with his vi-sion for the Titans and how he handled the fi nal two months of the season as an interim coach.
Mularkey was 2-7 in nine games after Whisenhunt went 3-20 in his tenure be-fore being fi red Nov. 3.

Allen propels Florida past Mississippi
BY JIMMY GOLENAssociated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady took off for the end zone and dived for the pylon, taking a helmet in the back as his body sailed over the goal line.
The ball stayed out, but it didn’t matter. The reigning Su-per Bowl MVP carried it in for a score on the next play, reaching over the line to convert in a way Kansas City couldn’t Saturday.
Brady threw for two touch-downs to Rob Gronkowski and sneaked for another, and the de-fending Super Bowl champions reached their fi fth straight AFC title game with a 27-20 victory over the Chiefs.
New England (13-4) will meet the winner of Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos for a spot in Super Bowl 50.
The Patriots are trying to be-come the fi rst team to win back-
to-back NFL titles since they did it in 2003-04.
“It’s pretty special to get back to another AFC championship game,” said Brady, who will play in his 10th conference title game. “It’s pretty cool. It’s hard to do, man. You’ve got to grind throughout the entire year. There’s only four teams play-ing next week and we’re one of them. That game means a lot.”
After spending the last two weeks recovering from knee and back injuries, Gronkowski caught seven passes for 83 yards, including touchdowns from 8 and 16 yards out. Gronkowski also recovered an onside kick af-ter Kansas City cut the defi cit to 27-20 with just over one minute left.
Julian Edelman returned from a broken foot to catch 10 passes for 100 yards for New England. Danny Amendola had two catches for 18 yards.
“It’s just great to have those guys back,” Gronkowski said. “They’re hard workers, they’re great players. The chemistry was clicking tonight.”
Alex Smith completed 29 of 50 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown for Kansas City (12-6). The Chiefs had won 11 consecutive games, including a 30-0 victory over Houston in the wild-card round last week for their fi rst playoff victory since 1993.
Brady led New England to a score on the opening drive, throwing 11 straight passes and completing eight — the last an 8-yard score to Gronkowski. The Chiefs then made it to the Patriots 16, but settled for a fi eld goal.
After trading punts twice, the Patriots started on their when punt returner Danny Amendola was fl agged for a helmet-fi rst hit to coverage man Jamell Flem-
ing. The drive was in danger of stalling at the Kansas City 35 when Chiefs linebacker Dezman Moses hit Brady late and was called for roughing the passer.
The stadium erupted in cheers of “Brady!” — just as it had four months ago when the four-time Super Bowl champion returned from his looming “Defl ategate” suspension to play in the season opener.
Four plays later, unable to fi nd an open receiver, Brady sprinted — sort of — for the cor-ner of the end zone. The Chiefs managed to keep him out, but only for one more play. On the next snap, Brady leaned forward and reached into the end zone to make it 14-3.
“I thought I could try to make it. We were close. Not close enough, but we got in on the next play,” said Brady, who shrugged off the two big hits on that drive. “It’s football season,
so there’s bumps and bruises, but you’ve got to fi ght through those.”
Patriots defensive lineman Chandler Jones forced Knile Davis’ fumble on the Chiefs’ fi rst possession of the second half, then Brady added another touchdown pass to Gronkowski to make it 21-6.
Smith had the Chiefs into New England territory on their fi rst six possessions, but they man-aged just six points before he hit Albert Wilson on a 10-yard pass that made it 21-13.
NOTES: Jones started the game, six days after he wan-dered to the local police station, shirtless and confused. Police said his house reeked of burnt marijuana. ... The Patriots are 18-4 all-time in the playoffs at Gillette Stadium. ... Jon Bon Jovi, a friend of Patriots coach Bill Belichick, was in the own-er’s box and led the stadium in a

Associated PressCOLUMBIA, S.C. —
Sindarius Thornwell scored 22 points to lead No. 19 South Carolina to an 81-72 victory over Mis-souri on Saturday.
The Gamecocks (16-1, 3-1 Southeastern Confer-ence) never trailed, but never could put the over-matched Tigers (8-9, 1-3) away either. It was the fi rst game for the Game-cocks since losing at Ala-bama, their fi rst loss of the season.
Missouri trailed 63-57 with 7 minutes to go when Cullen Vanleer missed an open 3-point attempt. Thornwell pushed the ball up court, made a basket and was fouled. He made the free throw and South Carolina led by at least seven points the rest of the game.
Missouri was playing its fi rst game since banning itself from the SEC tourna-ment and any other post-season appearances for NCAA violations. And the Tigers started the game without much fi re, turning the ball over fi ve times and missing two shots — in-cluding a 3-point attempt that wedged in the side of the rim — in their fi rst seven possessions. South Carolina took an 8-0 lead
But while the Game-cocks never trailed, they also couldn’t put away a Missouri team at the bot-tom of the 14-team SEC in eight different statisti-cal categories after three league games.
Texas A&M 79, Georgia 45
ATHENS, Ga. — Texas A&M hadn’t exactly been dominant in winning its last three games by a com-bined eight points.
Even so, Alex Caruso sensed that his team was close to putting everything together.
“I was waiting for it,” he said. “I knew it was com-ing.”
Jalen Jones, Danuel House and Caruso all
scored 12 points and No. 15 Texas A&M won its eighth straight game with a 79-45 victory over Geor-gia.
The Aggies (15-2, 5-0 Southeastern Confer-ence) never trailed, and a school offi cial said the road victory was Texas A&M’s most lopsided in league play since it joined the Southwest Confer-ence in 1915.
Georgia shot a season-worst 28.9 percent and had no answer offensively as Texas A&M stretched its defense to the perime-ter and stepped in passing lanes all game.
The Aggies have their longest winning streak since 2010-11 when they won 13 straight. It’s their best start in league play since winning their fi rst fi ve 30 years ago.
Auburn 75,Kentucky 70
AUBURN, Ala. — Ka-reem Canty scored 26 points, including two free throws with 20 seconds left, helping lift Auburn to a 75-70 upset of No. 14 Kentucky.
The Tigers (8-8, 2-3 Southeastern Confer-ence) wiped out a 12-point second-half defi cit to snap an 18-game losing streak to the Wildcats (13-4, 3-2). Auburn’s only win in the last 33 meet-ings had come in 2000, and students stormed the court to celebrate the up-set.
Tyler Harris added 21 points and 11 rebounds and made two free throws in the fi nal minute. Ken-tucky’s Jamal Murray made a 3-pointer with 13 seconds left and Canty missed two free throws to give Kentucky hope.
Tyler Ulis, who scored 17 points, missed a 3-point attempt at the other end that would have kept Kentucky alive. The 5-foot-9 Ulis had 10 re-bounds and eight assists. Murray scored 20 points on 8-of-22 shooting.
Vanderbilt 71, Alabama 63
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jeff Roberson scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Van-derbilt Commodores beat Alabama for their second straight victory.
The Commodores (10-7, 2-3) desperately needed these games at home after opening their Southeast-ern Conference schedule 0-3, and they responded by winning back-to-back games for the fi rst time since November. They won’t have consecutive games at Memorial Gym again until the end of Feb-ruary.
Riley LaChance scored a season-high 18 points, hitting a career-best 5 of 6 from 3-point range. Da-mian Jones added 13 for Vanderbilt.
Alabama (10-6, 1-3) came in off its third up-set of a Top 25 team this season after handing No. 19 South Carolina its fi rst loss Wednesday night but lost for the third time in four games.
Shannon Hale led Ala-bama with 13 points be-fore fouling out with 4:14 left, and Retin Obasohan added 10.
LSU 76,Arkansas 74
BATON ROUGE, La. — Craig Victor II had a put-back with 4.2 seconds re-maining to help LSU beat Arkansas 76-74 Saturday night.
With 3:02 to play and the score tied, LSU’s Ant-noio Blakeney made a la-yup and was fouled, but missed the free throw.
Ben Simmons grabbed the offensive rebound, scored and was fouled. He converted the 3-point play, giving the Tigers (11-6, 4-1 Southeastern Con-ference) a 74-69 lead.
Arkansas’ Dusty Hannahs hit a 3 and Anton Beard made a layup, tying the score at 74 with 37 seconds to go. Beard was fouled, but missed the foul shot.
The ball went out of bounds off of LSU but, after the inbounds pass, Blakeney came up with a steal.
He missed a 3 on the other end, but Victor cor-ralled the ball, setting up the winner.
Simmons had 16 points and 18 rebounds while Victor added 16 and 12.
Anthlon Bell led Ar-kansas (9-8, 3-2) with 19 points.
No. 1 Kansas 70,TCU 63
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Wayne Selden Jr. scored 11 points, Carlton Bragg and Cheick Diallo provid-ed a boost off the bench, and No. 1 Kansas slogged past TCU 70-63 on Satur-day.
Bragg had 10 points, as did Perry Ellis and Devonte Graham. Diallo had nine points and nine rebounds to help the Jay-hawks (15-2, 4-1 Big 12) bounce back from a loss at West Virginia.
It was the 33rd consecu-tive win at Allen Field-house for Kansas, match-ing the fourth-best streak in school history.
Michael Williams had 13 points and Brandon Par-rish and Chauncey Col-lins each scored 11 for the Horned Frogs (9-8, 1-4).
No. 2 Oklahoma 70, No. 11
West Virginia, 68
NORMAN, Okla. — Khadeem Lattin’s tip-in with one second remain-ing lifted Oklahoma.
Buddy Hield scored 17 points and Ryan Spangler added 10 points and 14 rebounds for the Sooners (15-1, 4-1 Big 12).
Oklahoma is in position to move to No. 1 in the AP poll since top-ranked Kansas lost to West Vir-ginia on Tuesday. It would be the Sooners’ fi rst No. 1 ranking since March 1990.
Jaysean Paige had 18 points for the Mountain-eers (15-2, 4-1).
South Carolina bounces back over MizzouBY STEVE REED
Associated PressCHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera says the Se-attle Seahawks are start-ing to feel a little like a division opponent.
The teams will meet for the sixth time in four years and for the sec-ond straight season in the NFC divisional play-offs on Sunday. The Se-ahawks have won four of the previous fi ve match-ups, including a 31-17 playoff victory last year in Seattle.
But this time it’s a lit-tle different.
Not only will the game be played in Charlotte, where the top-seeded Panthers (15-1) have won 11 straight, but the Seahawks face a Caro-lina team that’s more confi dent and battled-tested.
Some of that stems from Carolina’s 27-23 win over the two-time defending NFC cham-pions in Week 6 when Cam Newton connected on a 26-yard touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen with 32 seconds left.
The Panthers say that win helped jumpstart their 14-0 start this sea-son and gave them con-fi dence they could beat the best.
“It was just a matter of getting over that hump,” said cornerback Josh Norman.
It led Panthers safety Roman Harper to de-clare this week: “We are the better team.”
In many ways, the Se-ahawks and Panthers are mirror images of one another, which may help explain why the last fi ve games have come down to the wire.
They both have dy-namic quarterbacks who can make plays with their arms and their feet; strong running games led by powerful, bruising backs; and defenses that excel at keeping the op-position out of the end
zone.But the most intrigu-
ing matchup may be Carolina’s No. 1 scoring offense against Seattle’s defense, which has al-lowed the fewest points in the league.
Newton became the fi rst QB in league history to throw for 35 touch-down passes and run for 10 scores in a season. He’ll face a defense load-ed with playmakers.
“This is the most di-versifi ed offense that we see, and the dynamics of what Cam is able to do and the way that they’re willing to run with him makes this a really dif-fi cult offense to prepare for,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “You’ve seen everybody have trouble with it all year long, so we’ll see if we can keep it down and try to keep the score within reach and see if we have a chance.”
Things to watch in the Seahawks-Panthers playoff game:
NOW BOARDING: After last week’s sud-den turn when Mar-shawn Lynch ended up not making the trip to Minnesota, all indica-tions are “Beast Mode” will be back against the Panthers. If Lynch plays, it will be his fi rst action since Week 10 against Arizona prior to hav-ing abdominal surgery. Lynch was a full partici-pant in practice for the second straight week.
Carolina did an ad-equate job slowing down Lynch in the fi rst meet-ing, holding him to 54 yards on 17 carries and no run longer than 17 yards. In seven career games versus Carolina as a member of the Se-ahawks, Lynch has never rushed for more than 89 yards.
STEWART’S CON-DITIONING: Mean-while, Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart makes his return after missing the last three games with a foot injury.
Panthers seek redemption
BY CHRIS BURROWSAssociated Press
OXFORD, Miss. — Florida coach Michael White knew his return to Mississippi was going to be a story. But it was fresh-man point guard KeVaughn Al-len that stole the show Saturday night.
Allen, in a dominating indi-vidual performance, scored 27 points as Florida defeated Ole Miss 80-71. In the process, the Gators (11-6, 3-2 Southeast-ern Conference) got their fi rst league win in three tries, ended a seven-game home winning streak for the Rebels and made it a happy homecoming return for White.
“It’s great because it’s a road win in the SEC over a major op-ponent,” said White, who spent 11 years at Ole Miss as a player and assistant coach. “But to play
like this, in this environment and it’s an awesome environ-ment, is a huge win for us.”
Allen fi nished 9 of 11 from the fi eld, 6 of 7 from 3-point range and added six rebounds. The balanced Florida attack featured Dorian Finney-Smith with 17 points, Kasey Hill with 11 while John Egbunu added 10.
“The one guy (Allen) you can’t leave open is the one guy that took control of the game,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. “He’s really good. Florida had struggled on the road and need-ed confi dence. We fueled that in the opening four minutes.”
The Gators were never seri-ously threatened, racing to a 15-2 lead in the opening four minutes. Florida held a 49-30 halftime advantage, led by Al-len’s 20 points and the Rebels never closed within double dig-
its until the fi nal minute.Stefan Moody, limited by early
foul trouble, led the Rebels (12-5, 2-3) with 22 points. Sebastian Saiz and Rasheed Brooks added 17 and 14 points, respectively. Ole Miss was 25 of 56 (45 per-cent) but struggled from 3-point range, hitting 5 of 20 (25 per-cent).
Florida dominated the boards, outrebounding the Rebels 39-29, including a game-high 10 from Finney-Smith. The Gators were 24 of 49 (49 percent) from the fi eld, including 11 of 20 from 3-point range.
“The fast start was huge,” White said. “Allen is a streaky shooter. We’ve seen him hit like that in practice, but when he shoots like that in a game and we play solid defensively like we did tonight, I’m encouraged about what we can do.”
Happy HomecomingWhite acknowledged ex-
tended applause from the Ole Miss crowd with a wave during pregame introductions. White was a four-year starter at point guard for the Rebels, leading them to a pair of SEC Western Division titles and three NCAA Tournament appearances from 1996-99. He also served as an Ole Miss assistant coach for seven years, the fi nal fi ve under current head coach Andy Ken-nedy.
“Andy is a great coach and his staff and I put a lot of sweat eq-uity iat Ole Miss,” White said. “I love this place. Always have. Always will. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces, too, but it was really great because Florida won.”
Tip-Ins
Florida: Allen turned in a dominant fi rst half performance with 20 points on 7 of 8 shoot-ing, 5 of 6 from 3-point range, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and no turnovers as the Gators built an insurmountable lead. ..Chris Chiozza had eight assists in the fi rst half ..Egbunu had three dunks and layup in the opening 10 minutes.
Ole Miss: Moody, who leads the SEC at 24.4 ppg, has scored 20-plus points in 12 straight games, but struggled with six turnovers. ...Brooks had eight rebounds, two assists and a steal to complement his 14-point per-formance.

Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Iota Zeta chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) honor society values the four pil-lars that the national hon-or society has set forth for local chapters.
Following the four pil-lars of service, scholar-ship, leadership and fel-lowship, the Northeast PTK has come to the aid of a program that aids students at the two-year college.
In an effort to help the tutoring center at the col-lege, PTK held its inau-gural Glaciation Gala to raise funds for the tutor-ing center at the school.
Each year, the North-east chapter chooses a college project that will make Northeast a better place. This year’s project is the support of the tutor-ing center.
“Education is a gift and the work that the tutoring program does for North-east students is unprec-edented,” said Northeast Phi Theta Kappa member Grant Gaar of Walnut. “The goal for the gala was to bring awareness to the aid the center gives stu-dents.
“As a community col-lege, we are offering an invaluable service to es-sentially the entire com-munity.”
Phi Theta Kappa band-ed together over the late summer, early fall to come up with an event that would raise funds for the tutoring center that would allow it to continue to function on the North-east campus.
Northeast’s Glaciation Gala, a black-tie optional event, was held at the old Booneville Hardware building in downtown Booneville on Thursday, December 3 and featured a three-course full meal served along with live en-tertainment, door prizes and other entertaining options.
An organizational goal of raising $25,000 to help offset the cost of operating the tutoring center was set earlier in the fall semes-ter and the group’s efforts surpassed that goal.
During its annual fall cheese fund-raiser and other projects, members of Phi Theta Kappa were able to raise over $11,500 for the project.
A silent auction in the Ramsey Student Services Building’s lobby on Tues-day, December 1 garnered over $1,000 going toward the project.
Moreover, as an-nounced during the gala, Tri-State Education Foundation contributed $15,000 to the cause while the Modern Wood-men of America pushed the total to over $30,000 with a $2,500 matching contribution to the or-ganization’s fall cheese sales.
Former Phi Theta Kap-pa president Zeb Taylor, who works for Modern Woodmen of America and is headquartered in Corinth, was instrumen-tal in getting the match-ing contribution for the cause.
For those that wish to contribute to the cause, one can donate to the Northeast Development Foundation and earmark the gift for the tutoring program.
“We look forward to helping students create a bright future through the process of offering free tutoring in all areas of study through the tutorial center,” Gaar said. “To ev-eryone who has contrib-uted tonight, we thank you.”
Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, is the largest honor society in higher education with 1,285 chapters on col-lege campuses in all 50 of the United States, plus Canada, Germany, the Republic of Palau, Peru, the Republic of the Mar-shall Islands, the Feder-ated States of Micronesia, the British Virgin Islands, the United Arab Emirates and U.S. territorial pos-sessions.
Nearly three million students have been in-ducted since its founding in 1918, with approxi-mately 131,000 students inducted annually. Phi Theta Kappa seeks to fos-ter the development of leadership and service, to provide an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas, and to encour-age the establishment of scholarships for advanced education.
Northeast’s Iota Zeta chapter has been rec-ognized as a “Five Star” chapter for 13 straight years, the highest rating given any chapter, and has been recognized as an exemplary model.
Advisors for the chap-ter during the 2015-16 academic year are Dr. Ray Harris, Andrea Mathis of Booneville and Carla Falkner, Morgan Ricks, both of Tupelo.

NEW YORK — The av-erage age of fi rst-time mothers is at an all-time high in the U.S — over 26.
The change is largely due to a big drop in teen moms. But more fi rst births to older women also are tugging the num-ber up, said T.J. Mathews of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
He’s the lead author of a report released Thurs-day that put the average age at 26 years, 4 months for women who had their
fi rst child in 2014.The government began
tracking the age of new mothers around 1970 when the average was 21. It’s been mostly climbing ever since, and spiked in about the last fi ve years.
The number rocketed immediately after a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing abortion, which is used mostly by young unmarried women. Also fueling the rise were im-provements in birth con-trol and opportunities for women, experts said.
“Women are staying in
school longer, they’re go-ing into the workforce, they’re waiting to get mar-ried, and they’re waiting to have kids,” said John San-telli, a Columbia Universi-
ty professor of population and family health.
“It’s been going on in the U.S. since the 1950s,” and in many other coun-tries as well, he added.
Overall, the average age of fi rst-time moms has been rising in every racial and ethnic group, and in every state. Since 2000, some of the most dramatic increases were for black mothers and for moms living along the West Coast.
However, the Northeast still has the highest aver-age ages. Topping the list are Massachusetts and the District of Columbia, each at about 29, and Connecticut and New York, at or near 28.
In New York’s Park
Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn — an enclave for families with young children — older moms are common.
Pushing a stroller on a frigid Wednesday morn-ing, Meisha Welch said she didn’t have the fi rst of her two children until just after her 38th birthday.
“Many of my friends I grew up with, we all have small children,” said Welch, now 42. “We had children at what in the past may have seemed like an older age. But now it feels more average.”

WASHINGTON — Hark-ing back to America’s tri-umphant race into space, the Obama administra-tion is launching what it calls a “moonshot” effort to cure cancer.
Don’t expect miracles in the administration’s last months in offi ce.
“It probably won’t be cured in my lifetime, but I think it’ll be cured in yours,” President Barack Obama told a 4th-grader in Baton Rouge on Thurs-day.
There’s been striking progress in recent years even though cancer re-mains the nation’s No. 2 killer. Obama assigned Vice President Joe Biden to fi gure out how to speed that progress. Details are still to come but topping Biden’s wish list is in-creased research funding and getting scientists to better share data to spur breakthroughs.
Here’s a look at the state of cancer:
Current impact
The American Cancer Society predicts there will be nearly 1.7 mil-lion new cancer cases this year, and more than 595,000 deaths.
Yet the death rate is dropping — by 23 per-cent since its peak in 1991. That’s mostly driv-en by improvements in detection and treatment of the four most common cancers — lung, breast, prostate and colorectal — and also, for lung cancer, drops in smoking.
Survival varies
Five-year survival rates for most cancers are in-creasing. Today, it’s 89 percent for breast cancer and more than 90 per-cent for prostate and thy-roid cancers. More than two-thirds of patients survive at least fi ve years with colorectal, cervical, uterine and kidney can-cers and lymphoma.
Catching cancer be-fore it spreads gives the patient the best survival chance, often even better than those numbers.
Far less progress has been made against pan-creatic and ovarian can-cers, harder to catch be-fore they spread, or brain cancer.
“Cancer will not be cured this year,” says Dr. Otis Brawley, the Ameri-can Cancer Society’s chief medical offi cer.
Nor will there be a single cure — cancer isn’t one disease but hun-dreds. But scientists now understand much more about how cancer forms and spreads and are de-veloping new ways to tackle it.
“We are at a remark-
able moment,” says Dr. Francis Collins, direc-tor of the National Insti-tutes of Health, ticking off areas where science is poised to pay off. “That’s part of the motivation.”
Beyond chemo
Chemotherapy is still a mainstay of cancer treat-ment. But the hottest frontier is immunother-apy — tapping the body’s immune system to attack tumors, like the drug credited with helping treat former President Jimmy Carter’s advanced melanoma.
The fi rst immunother-apies essentially strip away some of the ways that tumors hide, without as many side effects as chemo. They’ve worked well enough in melano-ma and lung cancer that they’re being explored for a variety of tumors.
Know your tumor genes
Genetic differences in-side tumors help explain why one person’s cancer is more aggressive than another’s, and why cer-tain drugs work for one patient but not the next, especially newer “tar-geted therapies” that are designed to home in on certain characteristics.
Increasingly, patients at leading cancer centers are getting their tumor genes mapped to help guide treatment. If hos-pitals pool that genetic information, researchers can more rapidly learn which drugs best match which patients, says Dr. Victor Velculescu of Johns Hopkins Univer-sity and the American Association for Cancer Research.
AACR just began Proj-ect GENIE as a fi rst step, a database run by seven hospitals from the U.S., Canada, France and the Netherlands that so far have shared tumor data from about 17,000 pa-tients. Velculescu says Biden’s efforts could spur larger collaborations.
What’s next?
Look for newer ways to detect cancer early using liquid biopsies, blood tests that capture fragments of DNA that tumors shed into the bloodstream.
And why call it breast cancer if the part of the body is less important than the gene mutation it shares with a tumor found in the lung or the liver? People increas-ingly will be treated for their tumor’s molecular signature.
“The treatments won’t pay a whole lot of atten-tion to what part of the body it arose in,” says NIH’s Collins.

Coming soon: “Oscars: The Sequel.”
A year after Alejan-dro Inarritu’s “Birdman” swept top honors at last year’s Academy Awards, Inarritu will again play a leading role at the Acade-my Awards with his 1820s revenge thriller “The Rev-enant,” which landed a leading 12 nominations Thursday.
Other familiar faces are returning, as well, like last year’s best actor winner, Eddie Redmayne (“The Danish Girl”), Jen-nifer Lawrence (a record fourth nomination for the 25 year-old for “Joy”) and mainstay composer John Williams, who notched, staggeringly, his 50th nomination.
But absences were also stuck on repeat. A year af-ter coming under wither-ing criticism over a lack of diversity, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences again fi elded an
all-white group of 20 act-ing nominees, restoring the trending hashtag “Os-carsSoWhite” to promi-nence. That story line should have a new twist this time, though, when Chris Rock — who fa-mously labeled Hollywood “a white industry” — hosts the Feb. 28 ceremony.
Other showdowns await, too.
In a tumultuous and unpredictable awards season, “The Revenant” — which also landed nomi-nations for best-actor fa-vorite Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy and Inarritu’s long-take maverick cin-ematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki — has emerged as a heavyweight, taking top honors at the Golden Globes and scoring a $38 million debut.
But George Miller’s post-apocalyptic sequel “Mad Max: Fury Road” followed with 10 nomina-tions, including best pic-ture and best director for Miller. And Ridley Scott’s
hit sci-fi epic “The Mar-tian” landed seven nomi-nations, including best picture and best actor for Matt Damon, but, sur-prisingly, no best director nod for Scott.
Eight out of a possible 10 fi lms were nominated for best picture. The other fi ve were: Tom McCar-thy’s investigative jour-nalistic procedural “Spot-light,” Steven Spielberg’s Cold War thriller “Bridge of Spies,” Adam McKay’s Michael Lewis adapta-tion “The Big Short,” the mother-son captive drama “Room” and the ‘50s Irish immigrant tale “Brooklyn.”
Left on the outside were Todd Haynes’ les-bian romance “Carol” (which fared better in act-ing nominations for Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara) and the N.W.A biopic “Straight Outta Compton” (which still landed a nod for original screenplay). The miss for “Carol” meant one
usual Oscar heavyweight — Harvey Weinstein — won’t have a horse in the best picture race for the fi rst time since 2008.
In front of and behind the camera, diversity re-mains a widely acknowl-edged problem for the movie industry, and few fi lms starring and di-rected by minorities were seen as contenders. But many expected “Straight Outta Compton” to be nominated for best pic-ture, and numerous handicappers had Idris Elba for “Beasts of No Nation” and Benicio Del Toro for “Sicario” as likely for best supporting actor.
Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who had led efforts to diversify the academy’s member-ships, acknowledged she was “disappointed.”
“What is important is that this entire conversa-tion of diversity is here and that we are talking about it,” said Isaacs. “Talking gets to the doing,
and we are going to do.”Ryan Coogler’s ac-
claimed Rocky sequel “Creed,” starring Michael B. Jordan, was also often cited as one of the year’s best, but it drew only a nomination for Sylvester Stallone reprising his role as Rocky Balboa.
“I am incredibly hum-bled by this honor,” Stal-lone, fi rst nominated for the role in 1977 for “Rocky,” wrote in an email. “I was not expect-ing it ... especially at this time in my life.”
Alongside DiCaprio and Damon, the best ac-tor nominees were: Mi-chael Fassbender (“Steve Jobs”), Redmayne (“The Danish Girl”) and Bryan Cranston (“Trumbo”). Two big names were left out: Johnny Depp for “Black Mass” and Will Smith for “Concussion.”
The best actress fi eld is led by favorite Brie Lar-son for “Room,” along with Lawrence, Blanchett (her seventh nod), Sao-
irse Ronan (“Brooklyn”) and Charlotte Rampling (“45 Years”).
After seemingly slip-ping in an unpredictable awards season, “Spot-light” rebounded Thurs-day, landing six nomi-nations including best director for McCarthy, best screenplay for Mc-Carthy and Josh Singer, best supporting actress for Rachel McAdams and best supporting actor for Mark Ruffalo.
Also nominated for best supporting actor were Mark Rylance, best known for his stage work, for “Bridge of Spies” and Christian Bale (“The Big Short”).
Nominees for best di-rector shunned not just one fi lmmaking legend in Scott, but also Spielberg. Instead, Lenny Abraha-mson for “Room” was the unexpected addition along with Adam McKay, known best for his broad-er Will Ferrell comedies, for “The Big Short.”
Nominations set stage for Oscar sequelBY JAKE COYLE
AP Film Writer
PASADENA, Calif. — In the grandly silly tradi-tion of “Airplane!” and “The Naked Gun” comes TV police show parody “Angie Tribeca,” which started as a husband and wife’s private joke.
The clout-wielding cou-ple in this case are movie and TV star Steve Carell (“The Offi ce,” ‘‘The Big Short”) and his wife, Nan-cy, formerly of “The Daily Show.”
“We try to make each other laugh, and we were batting around ideas and the name ‘Tribeca’ was funny,” Nancy Carell said.
Steve Carell casually mentioned the concept during a production-deal meeting with TBS, the channel snapped it up, and he broke the good news at home.
“I said, ‘Honey, you know that really stupid thing we were talking about? Now we need to write a script,’” he re-called.
The series, starring his former “Offi ce” castmate Rashida Jones, is getting an appropriately offbeat launch, a 25-hour loop-reel marathon of its 10 ep-isodes starting Sunday (8 p.m.). Viewers who prefer their belly laughs in half-hour doses can tune in on a weekly basis starting 8 p.m., Jan. 25.
Jones’ title character is a no-nonsense Los Ange-les police detective in a stubbornly goofy world, a la Leslie Nielsen in the short-lived 1982 TV show “Police Squad!” and “The Naked Gun” movies it spawned.
“It’s not a brand-new idea, this type of comedy. But there wasn’t anything like this going on right now (on TV), and that’s what was appealing to us about it,” Carell said.
Steve Carell counts as comic inspiration his friend Adam McKay, the fi lmmaker whose work
ranges from “Anchor-man: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” to the newly Oscar-nominated “The Big Short.” He’s also a professed fan of the 1960s spy parody “Get Smart.”
“Angie Tribeca” wisely adheres to the genre’s mandatory and rapid-fi re wordplay, sight gags and general willingness to do anything for a laugh. Jones describes it as “wall-to-wall jokes.”
Jere Burns plays An-gie’s commander, Chet Atkins (wink, nudge), in charge of the LAPD’s Re-ally Heinous Crimes Unit. Hayes MacArthur, Deon Cole and Andree Vermeu-len co-star.
“Just give me a name,” Angie demands during an interrogation-room inter-view.
“Don’t you have a name?” replies the man being questioned.
“Yeah, but it’s ‘Angie’ and I never liked it,” she snaps back at him.
In another bit, Atkins has a run-in with Apple’s digital answer lady, Siri.
“How do you fl y a 767?” he urgently asks of his iPhone in a scene that — why not? — puts him in
the cockpit of a troubled jetliner, a friendly tip of the hat to “Airplane!”
Replies Siri: “Play James Taylor’s ‘You’ve Got a Friend.”
The comedy may ap-pear loose and spontane-ous but is anything but, according to the cast.
A required focus on tim-ing and precision leads to “a bunch of grown peo-ple sitting around hav-ing conversations about the most serious way to do the most ridiculous things,” MacArthur said.
“There’s moments when you’re on set and there’s an animal train-er between your legs and you have a costume change and you’re rip-ping off your pants and you have, like, a crossbow stuck down your leg,” said Jones.
“Angie Tribeca” is part of a slate of new shows that Kevin Reilly, named entertainment chief for TBS and TNT a year ago, is counting on to trans-form the channels into destinations for edgier fare.
Nancy Carell is seen in a small role as the may-or’s wife, but the Carells said they are focused on guiding their baby to suc-cess as behind-the-scenes producers.
That’s not assured, given the parody genre’s relatively unimpressive small-screen track record compared with movies (although TBS ordered a second season before the show’s debut).
“With a fi lm, it’s an hour-and-a-half and you’re done,” Steve Carell said. In TV, “you have to pace yourself. It can’t be everything all at once. It’s also a bit different than ‘Airplane!’ or ‘Na-ked Gun,’ maybe a little drier and the characters a bit more grounded than those characters.”
Added Nancy Carell: “Ultimately, you have to like these people.”
Steve Carell brings parody back to TV with ‘Angie Tribeca’
Associated PressCLEVELAND — LeBron
James will co-produce and appear in a reality TV series called “Cleveland Hustles.”
James and his close friend and business part-ner, Maverick Carter, are producing the series that will debut this summer on CNBC. James also will make some cameo ap-pearances.
On the show, James and Carter will give four
aspiring local entrepre-neurs the chance to re-alize their own dreams while revitalizing a neigh-borhood in Cleveland.
James and Carter will get assistance from busi-ness experts, who will invest in and mentor the entrepreneurs. The goal is for the four fl edgling busi-nesses to create local jobs.
It’s the latest enter-tainment venture for the Cavaliers star. James appeared as himself in
Amy Schumer’s comedy “Trainwreck” last sum-mer and recently signed a movie development deal with Warner Bros.
James’ SpringHill En-tertainment company produces “Survivor’s Re-morse” on Starz about a young basketball star, his family and friends and the pressure and excite-ment of a lucrative career. He also produces a show called “Becoming” on Dis-ney XD.
