Basket Fund“A Community

Tradition”

The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Crossroads area as donations are beginning to arrive for the 18th Annual Corinth Rotary Club / Daily Co-rinthian 2013 Christmas Basket Fund.

The civic club and newspaper have set a $25,000 commu-nity fundraising goal this year so 1,000 food baskets could be given away to local families on Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Cross-roads Arena.

Food baskets were given away on faith the goal will be reached.

The total remains at $6,470 after the most recent dona-tions arrived. They are $25 from Ronald Wood in memory of Vergil and Mary Wood; $150 from SOUTHBank in honor of the local advisory board of SOUTHBank; $100 from Cov-enant Presbyterian Church in honor of Burlene Whirley; and $50 from the Hinkle Home-makers Club in memory of Ms. Ruth Lovell.

Donations can be the perfect time to make a holiday tribute to a special person. Contribu-tions can be made “in honor of” someone living or “in memory of” someone who has passed. They can be family or friends, co-workers, employees, bosses or even groups who have made an impact on a person’s life.

All tributes will be published in the Daily Corinthian until Christmas Day.

Donations can be brought to the newspaper offi ce at 1607 Harper Road or mailed to the Daily Corinthian, Attn: Christ-mas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, Miss. 38835.

The Crossroads area dodged a bullet.

But ammunition still remains when it comes to wintry weath-er for the rest of the weekend.

The National Weather Ser-vice has predicted an 80 per-cent chance of occasional freezing rain and sleet for Sat-

urday night. Saturday night’s low was to be around 30 with a .10 of an inch of ice possible.

“The ice potential for us is more on Saturday than Fri-day,” said City of Corinth Street Commissioner Philip Verdung. “Everything is ready to go should we need it.”

The lone problem for Corinth on Friday was a tree fell on the

outskirts of the city. No ice ap-peared on streets, according to the street commissioner.

In Alcorn County, there was some low-line fl ooding, ac-cording to emergency manage-ment director Ricky Gibens.

“We pretty much escaped and hopefully, it stays that way,” said Gibens. “I think most of what they are predict-

ing is going to be rain on Satur-day night into Sunday.”

The National Weather Ser-vice is calling for an 80 percent chance of rain Sunday night followed by a 50 percent of snow on Monday.

The forecast put a temporary hold on the Corinth Christmas Parade, but it was held Satur-day night as planned.

The Physician’s Urgent Care Light-house Thanksgiving Classic was a slam dunk.

A la Michael Jordan style.The two-day classic at Corinth High

School brought in an estimated 5,500 people during the 13-game feast of high school basketball.

“At this point, we are still paying bills so we don’t have a fi rm number, but we did what we expected to do,” said classic organizer Vince Overholt.

What the classic was expected to do was help the Lighthouse Foundation offset its general operating budget. The fundraiser accomplished the goal as well as generate more money for several local businesses.

“It had a huge economic impact for

Corinth,” added Overholt. “We wanted it to be a win all way around and it was im-portant we accomplished that goal.”

When Overholt and Lighthouse Foun-dation Executive Director Gary Caveness started thinking about such an event, they both wanted to start big and make it bigger.

The excitement of helping others was too much for any blustery winter day to affect during the 18th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian Food Basket Giveaway.

“This is one of my favor-ite parts of Christmas,” said Corinth High School’s Grace Ann Wilbanks. “It’s something so small like this that makes people happy … it’s just re-warding to be part of it.”

“We learned a lot and believe we can put togeth-er a better product next year,” said Overholt. “The feedback from coaches was fantastic … everyone commented on how nice the people were and the hospitality.”

Six games were played on Nov. 29 with another seven hitting the hard-wood on the following day.

Of the 13 total contests, 11 were competitive with the lone exceptions being the Biggersville-Tupelo matchup and the White Station-DeSoto, Texas contest.

“I have seen a lot of bas-ketball during my life, and I haven’t seen a team bet-ter than White Station,” said Overholt of the team from Memphis. “They could arguably be the best team that has played in

Corinth.”According to the event

organizer, the classic will be held the same two days after Thanksgiving next year. Where the games will be played has yet to be decided.

“The location is still up in the air,” he said. “We should have the details worked out on that in January.”

Overholt said sponsors played a major part in making things work.

“They were the key in the whole thing,” he said. “I hope they feel they were treated well.”

The gathering of teams and ironing out of details for year two has already started.

“We know there are changes to be made to make it better,” said Over-holt. “Our goal is to make it better because if we do that, we have a chance of doing well long term.”

Local/Region3A • Daily Corinthian Sunday, December 8, 2013

Today is Sunday, Dec. 8, the 342nd day of 2013. There are 23 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On Dec. 8, 1941, the United States entered World War II as Congress declared war against Ja-pan, a day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

On this date:

In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, Gen. George Washington’s retreating army crossed the Delaware River from New Jersey into Pennsylvania.

In 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception, which holds that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was free of origi-nal sin from the moment of her own conception.

In 1914, “Watch Your Step,” the first musical re-vue to feature a score composed entirely by Irving Berlin, opened in New York.

In 1949, the Chinese Nationalist government moved from the Chinese mainland to Formosa as the Communists pressed their attacks.

In 1961, a fire at Hartford Hospital in Connecti-cut resulted in 16 deaths. The Beach Boys’ first single, “Surfin’,” was released.

In 1962, the first session of the Second Vatican Council was formally adjourned. Typographers went on a 114-day strike against four New York City newspapers.

In 1972, a United Airlines Boeing 737 crashed while attempting to land at Chicago-Midway Air-port, killing 43 of the 61 people on board, as well as two people on the ground; among the passengers who died were Dorothy Hunt, wife of Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt, U.S. Rep. George W. Collins, D-Ill., and CBS News corre-spondent Michele Clark.

In 1980, rock star John Lennon was shot to death outside his New York City apartment build-ing by an apparently deranged fan.

In 1982, a man demanding an end to nuclear weapons held the Washington Monument hos-tage, threatening to blow it up with explosives he claimed were inside a van. (After a 10-hour stand-off, Norman D. Mayer was shot dead by police; it turned out there were no explosives.)

In 1987, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev signed a treaty at the White House calling for destruction of intermedi-ate-range nuclear missiles.

McNairy County hasnew school director

SELMER, Tenn. – An amazing turn of events led to the hiring of a new director of schools in McNairy County during Thursday’s special called meeting of the school board.

John Prince was cho-sen by the seven-member board to become McNairy County’s Director of Schools beginning in Jan-

uary after not getting a vote on the first four bal-lots. Prince will replace Charlie Miskelly, who re-signed in September.

The school board was deadlocked after coming up with the same results after four votes. Dr. Brenda Armstrong and Adamsville Principal Greg Martin received three votes each and Dr. Brian Jackson received the other vote.

Following the fourth vote, board chairman Frank Lacey said his sec-ond choice for the posi-tion was Prince. Martin then got up and withdrew his name from the pro-cess.

Prince then received six votes to earn the nod as director of schools in the county. Board policy required five votes to hire a new DOS.

“I have a passion for creating and fostering an environment in which all educators are challenged to be fully invested in the single mission of “Think Students First,” said Prince.

Board members Lacey, Jarrell Stanfield, Ricky Whitaker, Tony Chapman, Jean Jones and Lynn Baker all voted for Prince on the decisive ballot. Board member Larry Smith continued to stay with Armstrong on the final vote.

Prince, who is in his 21st year as an educa-tor, is presently serving as principal at Trenton Rosenwald School. He

spent nine years in the McNairy Co. School Sys-tem between 1994 and 2003. He worked at Ra-mer School, Adamsville High School and McNairy Central.

“It is my desire to become the proactive, progressive and passion-ate Director of McNairy County Schools with full intent to build a common sense of purpose among the citizens of McNairy County,” said Prince. “My sole goal will be to enrich the lives of our children by ensuring each and every one is college and career ready.”

Prince’s wife Mollie is a McNairy Central graduate and is a teacher at Tren-ton Elementary School. They have four children, John Davis, Miller, Major and Grace Ann.

Miskelly was the first-ever appointed director of schools in 2001 and will serve until Dec. 31. He is serving his 13th year as the leader of the McNairy County School System.

Amazing RhythmAces will appear

PICKWICK, Tenn. — The Amazing Rhythm Aces will join Sandy Car-roll at the finale of The Broken Spoke’s Song-writers’ Concert Series on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 8 p.m.

Lisa Lambert, Brain Harrison, Maxwell Rus-sell and David Faulk will play in the round as the

four finalists compete for the title of Broken Spoke Songwriter of the Year. First prize is a recording session with Jim Gaines and a co-writing session with renowned blues singer Sandy Carroll.

Doors open at 5 p.m. There is no cover charge.

“It’s a dream night for me to get to see the Aces and award a song-writer the opportunity of a lifetime. Grammy award winner Jim Gaines is one of greatest pro-ducer/engineers in all the world and to add Sandy’s co-writing ses-sion to the experience for one of these talented writers is a dream prize for any songwriter,” said Jay Barker, promoter.

The Amazing Rhythm Aces were first a local band in Knoxville, Tenn., in the late 1960s and early 1970s, although they went by the name Fatback. The band con-sisted of founding mem-bers Russell Smith, Jeff “Stick” Davis and Butch McDade. They left Knox-ville for greener pastures in the early 1970s.

Stacked Deck, their debut album released in 1975, resulted in two crossover (rock and country) hits, “Third Rate Romance” and “Amaz-ing Grace (Used to Be Her Favorite Song),” the group’s lone Top 10 country single.

Mark Boehler, editor

The phrase “good enough for government work” used to be a boast. Then it became an insult. With Obamacare, it is an ethic.

On Cyber Monday, the federal government was the only entity on the planet touting a

commercial website with the promise that it would work most of the time, provided people visiting during peak hours were willing to take a number and come back later.

Although HealthCare.gov was still plagued by what used to be known as “glitches,” it was working better. In fact, it appears to be well on the way to being fi xed — except for the part where people pay for

and actually get insurance. That is called the “backend,” or the payment system without which any other business would go bust. To be charitable, it is still a work in progress.

The line in the administration’s progress report about the technical team working “with private sector velocity and effective-ness” said it all. No one would ever brag about working “with public sector velocity and effectiveness.”

Yet it is the government that is vastly in-creasing its reach via Obamacare. Explaining away the troubles of his signature initiative, President Barack Obama pledged the other day, “We’re going to keep on working to fi x whatever problems come up in any startup, any launch of a project this big that has an impact on one-sixth of our economy.”

Startups don’t ordinarily affect one-sixth of the economy. Usually, no one hears about them unless they prove to be successes, and by then they are reliably functional. The president is surely correct that any vast ex-periment affecting one-sixth of the economy will inevitably have pitfalls -- which is why it is foolhardy to undertake one.

Obama is confi dent his law will work be-cause, as he repeatedly says, “The product is good.” The leader of the free world is now a glo-rifi ed insurance salesman. At times he sounds like a poor man’s Billy Mays — you may be eli-gible, he enthuses, for tax credits “that can save you hundreds of dollars in premium costs every month.” He says everything but “Order Now!”

As a pitchman, the president has advan-tages no others can match. He can engage in shamelessly false advertising without having to worry about the Better Business Bureau breathing down his neck. He passed a law called the “Affordable Care Act,” even though its mandates and regulations inevitably make health insurance more expensive.

Obama also doesn’t have to worry too much about whether the product is truly good or not. He can fall back on government power. Individuals are having their insurance poli-cies canceled by force of law, whether they are satisfi ed with them or not. Then they have to buy Obamacare-compliant policies or face a fi ne. This isn’t competition in the market-place. It’s coercion.

That is the ultimate backstop for good-enough-for-government work. Government doesn’t gain or lose market share on its mer-its. It doesn’t go out of business.

They rolled out a disastrously fl awed website on Oct. 1 because, hey, at least it’s a website. They touted their Nov. 30 fi xes as a success because, hey, at least there were some fi xes. They will tout whatever sign-up numbers they get — no matter how far short of their goals, or even if the law has rendered more people new-ly uninsured than it has enrolled — because, hey, at least they are sign-ups.

The president portrays himself as the pic-ture of fl exibility in considering improve-ments to the law, but he opposes changes passed by Congress on principle and is will-ing only to improvise by executive fi at. The latest on-the-fl y change is a scheme to pay in-surers estimated subsidies because the web-site can’t yet calculate them accurately.

“Short-term fi x eyed for another problem with U.S. healthcare website” is how the Re-uters headline put it. Good enough for gov-ernment work.

Prayer for today

A verse to share

To distract attention from the Obamacare disaster, the president is seeking to focus on income inequality. But here, for him, the ground is even shakier.

The fact is that while in-come inequality has been getting worse, it is the poli-cies of the Obama adminis-tration that are causing the trend.

During the Clinton years, 45 percent of all personal income gains went to the top 1 percent of the popu-lation. Under George W. Bush it was 65 percent. Un-der Barack Obama it is up-wards of 85 percent.

While the top 1 percent has seen an average 12 per-cent gain in personal in-come, the rest of the nation has gone up by only 1 to 2 percent, after infl ation.

Instead of solving the problem, Obama is causing it.

How?Quantitative easing is the

major culprit. Buying $85 billion of bonds and mort-

gage backed securities each month, the Federal Re-serve pumps vast amounts of money into the coffers to the top banks in the na-tion. Supposed to lend it out to create jobs, most in-stitutions don’t. Either they can’t fi nd borrowers or they are afraid that federal regu-lators will take a dim view of risky loans.

Or they would just rather give the $85 billion back to the Fed and earn the 3 percent interest they are offered for keeping their money in Ben Bernanke’s vault. After all, if you don’t have to pay anything for the cash, a 3 percent federally guaranteed return is a good deal. (And, why lend out the money at 6 percent when you can get 3 percent for just letting it sit there with a lot less risk?)

Spurred by this mas-sive infl ow of cash, banks are playing the derivative market, investing in stocks, augmenting their salary through stock buybacks which they then add to their own pay envelopes or just passing out bonuses (ex-

pected to top $100 billion this year).

All these policies catalyze income growth at the top of the spectrum and add to the inequality of which Obama -- whose policies cause it -- complains.

Zero interest rates really sock it to the elderly who had hoped to live off their hard-earned savings dur-ing their retirement. After saving $50,000, $100,000 or even more, the retirees had counted on a 6 to 10 percent return on their sav-ings to provide needed old age income. But now they get close to zero. Many are driven to plunge into risky investments in stocks and mutual funds, in many cas-es tempting fate with their investments. Sick or well, the odds are good that they will outlive the bull market.

Obamacare is drying up full-time jobs and forcing millions into part-time em-ployment. Gallup says that 9.1 percent of Americans now work part-time but would like full-time jobs.

Since the fi rst of the year, there are 152,000 fewer

full-time, and 400,000 more part-time, jobs in our economy.

Why? Since this trend was not evident in 2010, 2011 or 2012, the likely cause is Obamacare’s re-quirement that companies with 50 or more full-time workers offer health insur-ance or face a fi ne of $2,000 per worker per year. Firms all over America are cutting back on full-time workers and replacing them with part-timers to get in under the 50-worker ceiling. The AFL-CIO has decried this trend as the “death” of the 40-hour workweek.

Obama is not the solu-tion. He is the cause of the problem of income inequal-ity.

His proposals to raise corporate taxation and in-crease the minimum wage are likely to worsen the problem, spurring automa-tion and cutting down on investment, which is the only way to raise productiv-ity and wage levels.

Obama’s newfound focus on income inequality is the height of hypocrisy.

Obama causes income inequality

Marketing surveys now show that when Americans come home from work, more folks turn on their computers than their televi-sion sets. That is a fi rst.

The reason is twofold: First, you can create your own world on your PC, and second, TV is awful. Flat-out awful.

For years, television has been losing viewers be-cause the product, generally speaking, has collapsed.

Reality TV has destroyed the tube. Cheap, mindless shows featuring people who should be deported rule the airwaves. Don’t believe me? Well, TV Guide recently listed reality TV’s most star-tling moments. The choices are indeed startling.

Among them is Marie Os-mond fainting on “Dancing with the Stars.” That was unforgettable, was it not? All 10 of her siblings at-tempted to resuscitate her.

Laurie has a breast-bar-ing meltdown on a program

called “She’s Got the Look.” I don’t know who Laurie is, but I believe she may be over-exposed. Or something.

R e b e c c a gets dentures on “Breaking Amish.” I am

not fabricating this. I didn’t even know that the Amish broke anything. Hopefully, Rebecca can clean the den-tures without electricity. At least she’s in better shape than Laurie.

An Elvis impersonator is overwhelmed by memora-bilia on the show “Hoard-ers.” I missed that. I’m sorry.

Tom DeLay dances to “Wild Thing” on “Dancing with the Stars.” That was why Marie Osmond fainted.

“The Osbournes” examin-ing the aftermath of Ozzy’s ATV accident. Does it get

any better than that? Does it?

Kim Kardashian weds Kris Humphries on “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding.” This was the nadir. An untal-ented but ambitious woman marrying a young basket-ball player and then divorc-ing him about 20 minutes later. And the guy got hurt. So why are people watching that?

Disturbing question.Monica Lewinsky hosts

“Mr. Personality.” This was an actual TV show. Insert your joke here.

On a show called “The Surreal Life,” the guy who played Mini Me in an Aus-tin Powers movie rides a scooter naked. Why didn’t Kim Kardashian think of that?

The “Queer Eye” guys go nude. Did they have scoot-ers, as well? I honestly don’t know.

Michelle Obama appears on “The Biggest Loser.” This is a weight loss pro-

gram, not the Republican Convention.

And fi nally, chef Gordon Ramsay “fat-shames” a “Hell’s Kitchen” contestant. All I can say is that Jackie Gleason would have taken Ramsay out.

So it is beyond dispute that television is in deep trouble. These reality shows make “Gilligan’s Island” look like “Macbeth.” They are like unspeakable zom-bies destroying the entire structure of the television industry.

Thank God PBS is still on the air. But even here there is some worry. Elmo has been seen hanging with the Kardashians. It’s just a mat-ter of time until someone gets engaged.

Veteran TV news an-chor Bill O’Reilly is host of the Fox News show “The O’Reilly Factor” and author of many books, including the newly released “Killing Jesus.”

“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” — James 4:14

Lord God, help me to take in the glory of life, that my spirit may never be lonely, even though I may have to be much alone. I pray that thou wilt spare me the loneliness and the solitude that may be brought on by self-ishness. Make me considerate of others. May I soar above the disappointments and losses that may come to me, and stay where I may have thy companionship. Amen.

For Santa helpers,it’s all business

JACKSON — Things you may not have known about the Santa Claus business:

■ Santas avoid each other while on the job. “It’s profes-sional courtesy,” says Kennison Kyle, a Santa who works out of Memphis, Tenn. Even in their civ-vies, Santas stand out, he notes. “A lot of guys I know avoid malls and other places where they know Santas are going to be. They don’t want to be an unnec-essary” distraction.

■ What Santas tell children who see a half dozen Santas and ask which is the real one? “Tell them you’ll know him when you see him,” Kyle says.

■ What Santas tell children who ask why the reindeer aren’t flying? “Tell them the reindeer can only fly on Christmas when good boys and girls are in bed,” Kyle says.

■ What to tell a child if no reindeer are around? “Not cold enough yet,” Kyle says.

■ What do Santas do when they get together? “Talk shop,” Kyle says. “How to keep up with bookings. How to deal with real shy kids.”

■ What can Santa deduct from his taxes? “I deduct hair spray, my boots, the fabric for having my suit made, salon charges for getting my hair bleached,” Kyle says. He also deducts his mill-age — provided he can prove they were by a vehicle with wheels.

Former mayor’strial continued again

HERNANDO — Former South-aven Mayor Greg Davis’ trial on charges of embezzlement and false pretense has been resched-uled for a third time.

DeSoto County District At-torney John Champion tells The Commercial Appeal that Davis’ trial scheduled for Dec. 9 has been continued until February.

Davis was indicted on the fel-ony charges in December 2012. The three-count indictment ac-cuses Davis of embezzlement by a public official linked to his city-leased vehicle and using city gasoline in his personal vehicle.

The third charge is false pre-tense involving a $1,000 check Davis received from the city.

Snow, sleet, ice hit large swath of US

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Millions hunkered down for icy conditions expected to last through the weekend from Texas to Ohio to Tennessee as a cold snap covered much of the nation, knocking out power and making roads treacherous Saturday.

Face-stinging sleet, thick snow and blustery winds led to slick road conditions, school closures and event cancellations as the wintry blast dropped tem-peratures to freezing and below overnight Saturday.

A treacherous section of icy Interstate 35 about 50 miles north of Dallas has been closed intermittently for as long as five hours as tractor-trailers were un-able to climb a hill and then clog the busy highway, Texas Department of Transportation spokeswoman Michelle Releford said Saturday. The backup can ex-tend for miles.

Three traffic-related deaths were reported, one in Arlington and two in Oklahoma.

And about 117,000 customers in the Dallas area were without power Saturday morning and more than 350 departing flights from Dallas/Fort Worth Inter-national Airport had been cancelled in the morning, the airport said. About 3,330 passengers had stayed overnight in the terminals.

Police: Newlyweds killed man for thrills

SUNBURY, Pa. — A couple married for just three weeks lured a man to his death with a Craigslist ad because they wanted to kill someone together, police said.

Elytte Barbour told officers before his arrest Friday night that he and his wife, Miranda, had planned to kill before, but their plans never worked out until last month when Troy LaFerrara responded to an online posting that promised companionship in return for money, authorities said.

Elytte Barbour, 22, and Miranda Barbour, 18, face criminal homicide charges in LaFerrara’s death. His body was found Nov. 12 in an alley in Sunbury, a small city about 100 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

According to Sunbury police, Elytte Barbour told investigators he hid in the backseat of the couple’s SUV as his wife picked up LaFerrara at a mall Nov. 11. He told police that, on his wife’s signal, he wrapped a cord around LaFerrara’s neck, restraining him while Miranda Barbour stabbed him. The 42-year-old Port Trevorton man was stabbed 20 times, police said.

Miranda Barbour was charged Wednesday. She ini-tially denied knowing LaFerrara, but her story evolved as investigators gathered evidence, including the discovery that the last call received by the victim’s cellphone was made from her number, according to a police affidavit.

“The Dogs of Christ-mas” by W. Bruce Cam-eron

c.2013, Forge $15.99/ $18.50 Canada 238 pag-es

This Christmas, you’re giving up a lot.

You’re giving up a cor-ner of your home for a Christmas tree. You’re giving up money to make sure the best gifts are be-neath that tree on Christ-mas morning. You’re giving up time to bake, decorate, send cards, maybe even volunteer.

You’re giving up a lot this Christmas, whether you realize it or not. But, as in the new book, “The Dogs of Christmas” by W. Bruce Cameron, you’re getting so much more in return.

Josh Michaels didn’t want to answer the phone.

After Amanda left him for another man, there was barely any reason to even have a phone but he picked the receiver up anyhow, hoping it was her. When he found out who was on the line, he

was immediately sorry he did.

It was his scruffy neigh-bor, Ryan, who told Josh a hurried, convoluted story about France and his ex-girlfriend’s dog, Loose. Blah-blah-blah,

and before Josh could protest, Ryan left the dog on Josh’s porch and, tires spinning, was gone.

Loose. As in Lucy.As in, a female dog. A

pregnant female dog.Josh had never had a

dog, didn’t know the fi rst thing about caring for one, and didn’t want this tail-thumping German-Shepherd-something. He didn’t want puppies, ei-ther, but he felt bad when Lucy’s puppies died. Was it fate that somebody abandoned fi ve tiny pups in his truck while he was at the vet’s?

Maybe, and it was a miracle that Lucy ad-opted them. Dogs were pretty awesome.

Still, Josh had lots of questions, so he called the local animal shel-ter and spoke with a girl named Kerri, who offered to come to his house. He wasn’t expecting her to be so pretty or funny. Josh could imagine him-self asking her out — and when he fi nally did, he decided he liked her. Ker-ri could almost make him forget about Amanda.

Almost.But what he couldn’t

forget was that Lucy was somebody else’s dog. Kerri wouldn’t let him forget, either, that keep-ing six dogs was illegal and that he’d promised to adopt the puppies out – which was something

Josh couldn’t bear.He’d had enough loss

in his life. Could he lose his little dog family, too?

It’s a good thing you weren’t sitting next to me while I was reading “The Dogs of Christmas.” I never cry at novels, but I cried at this one… though it’s really not a sad story.

Yes, this book has sad elements in it (ones that dog lovers will completely understand), but it also oozes with humor and charm. Author W. Bruce Cameron introduces us to a wonderfully geeky main character, a sweet-but-so-cially-inept man to whom bad things perpetually happen. That makes for a delightful story, a perfect plot, and a book that’s hard not to love.

If you must have a holiday tale to put you in the Christmas mood, this is the one you must have. For whatever little free time you’ve got left this season, “The Dogs of Christmas” is worth giv-ing it up for.

Freezing rain continuesovernight in north counties

JACKSON — Parts of north Mis-sissippi are under a winter weather advisory beginning at 6 p.m. Satur-day into Sunday as a second wave of freezing rain moves into the region.

The National Weather Service said Saturday that ice accumula-tions are not expected to exceed one-tenth of inch — enough for mo-torists to be cautious with overnight temperatures dropping in the upper 20s to near freezing.

“With it being so cool, people will have to watch for any type of icing early in the (Sunday) morning. Temperatures will be warming Sun-day — somewhere between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. — enough so that it is all rain,” said David Cox, a meteo-rologist with the weather service in Jackson.

The weather service in Memphis, Tenn., had 10 north Mississippi counties included in the winter weather advisory — Alcorn, Ben-ton, Coahoma, DeSoto, Lafayette,

Marshall, Panola, Quitman, Talla-hatchie, Tate, Tippah, Tunica, Union and Yalobusha.

Cox said high temperatures were expected to rise into the 40s from Jackson to north Mississippi today.

Gulfport leaders askcongressmen for help

GULFPORT, Miss. — The city of Gulfport has asked the Mississippi congressional delegation to press federal agencies to approve plans for repairs to piers and jetties dam-aged since Hurricane Isaac.

Four piers and three jetties have been closed since August 2012.

Isaac hit Aug. 29, 2012, and tore up slats, pilings and jetties from Biloxi to Pass Christian. Repairs and improvements require approval of the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency before work can begin.

John R. Kelly, Gulfport’s chief ad-ministrative officer, said it appears that because of some endangered species that have to be investigat-ed by NOAA Fisheries, the process has taken longer than anybody an-ticipated.

US veteran Newman returns home

SAN FRANCISCO — Merrill Newman was tired and looking forward to reuniting with his family, but he was all smiles Saturday after arriving at the San Francisco airport after being detained for several weeks in North Korea.

The 85-year-old U.S. veteran of the Korean War held the hand of his wife and was accompanied by his adult son when he briefly addressed the assem-bled media after disembarking from a direct flight from Beijing.

He also thanked the Swedish Embassy in Pyong-yang, North Korea, and U.S. Embassy in Beijing for helping to secure his release.

Newman was detained in late October at the end of a 10-day trip to North Korea, a visit that came six decades after he oversaw a group of South Korean wartime guerrillas during the 1950-53 war.

Last month, Newman read from an awkwardly worded alleged confession that apologized for, among other things, killing North Koreans during the war. Analysts questioned whether the statement was coerced, and former South Korean guerrillas who had worked with Newman and fought behind enemy lines during the war disputed some of the details.

North Korea cited Newman’s age and medical con-dition in allowing him to leave the country.

Economic bright spot not sure help for Obama

WASHINGTON — To a struggling White House, the economy that was supposed to be a political mill-stone is losing some drag.

During Barack Obama’s presidency, pocketbook worries have been the dominant issue with Ameri-cans.

But an uptick in growth and a downturn in unem-ployment give him a stronger story line going into the 2014 congressional election year and provide Demo-crats with a counterpoint to Republican attacks on Obama’s health law.

But Obama’s fortunes have seesawed for months, marked by ups and downs on foreign and domestic policy. Whether this economic trend accelerates re-mains to be seen.

What’s more, voter opinions about the economy typically lag behind signs of improvement.

JACKSON — When lawmakers mandated that school start later, an unintended result was public school employees perhaps having their Au-gust paychecks cut, some-thing the chairmen of the state House and Senate Education Committees say they’re trying to avoid.

“We sure don’t want the teachers to be in fear of their checks,” said House Education Committee Chairman John Moore, R-Brandon.

The problem stems from the Legislature’s de-cision in 2012 to mandate that schools start no earli-er than the third Monday in August, and it could fuel efforts by some to roll back that law.

An October attor-ney general’s opinion to Lawrence County School Superintendent Tammy Fairburn states that it vi-olates the state Constitu-tion to pay public employ-ees for work they haven’t done.

That’s a problem be-cause teachers and other school employees are typically paid in equal monthly installments even though most work a 187-day contract.

Teachers on that con-tract are paid for just less than 16 days each month. But in 2014, school won’t start until Aug. 18. With 10 days of school and maybe three days of prep-aration, a teacher likely won’t have done that much work.

“A school district may not pay any employee before services are actu-ally rendered or work has been performed,” the

attorney general’s offi ce wrote in a second Nov. 15 opinion to state Audi-tor Stacey Pickering. “If a teacher or other school district employee works only a portion of the fi rst month of his or her con-tract, the salary install-ment for that month should refl ect the work actually performed.”

The problem has been ringing alarm bells among teachers’ groups. Kelly Riley, the executive director of the Mississippi Professional Educators, sent out emails warning that group’s members in August and November.

“I told my members ‘You need to be aware of this situation. You need to plan your personal budget accordingly,’” Riley said.

Riley calculates that teachers making the state average of $41,814 a year could see their August paycheck fall by $577. They’d be paid the money later, but it could cause a cash crunch for some, Ri-ley said.

Though the attorney general’s opinion cited a constitutional bar on pay-ments, Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said language has been drafted to solve the prob-lem without the need for a constitutional amend-ment.

He said the bill will con-

tain technical language directing the state Board of Education to issue contracts with language stating teachers earn one-twelfth of their salary in August. He said the at-torney general’s offi ce has cleared the language, the bill has already been prefi led, and he expects action early in the 2014 session.

If not, pressure could build on lawmakers quickly.

“It will be a big mess if they don’t, and educa-tors will be very unhappy with them,” said Joyce Helmick, president of the Mississippi Association of Educators.

Sam Bounds, executive director of the Mississip-pi Association of School Superintendents, said people who are paid less, such as cafeteria workers, could face more severe impacts.

State Auditor Stacey Pickering sent a letter to Moore and Tollison in late October informing them of the problem.

Moore was one of the co-sponsors of the House bill in 2012 to push back the fi rst day of school to a day somewhere between Aug. 15 and Aug 21.

The law, similar to those passed in other states, is meant to boost tourism spending by encourag-ing a longer summer.

The Gulf Coast Business Council, a Gulfport-based business group, helped push through the law. A 2010 council study pre-dicted later school open-ings would raise Missis-sippi tourism spending by $100 million, as well as create another $40 mil-lion in indirect benefi ts.

Moore noted that schools have been paying teachers over 12 months for many years, including when they started later in August.

“If there’s been a prob-lem, there’s been a prob-lem for a long time,” he said.

Bounds, though, said his association will lobby lawmakers to give local districts back the power to set their opening date, even if it’s early in August.

“I think that the start date of school should be a local home rule decision,” he said.

Moore, though, said he thought the problem had been “trumped up” and said superintendents should have talked to him before they started claim-ing over the summer that teachers might not get paid.

“I didn’t have one school superintendent in the state of Mississippi who had the courtesy to pick up the phone to call me and say we have a problem,” Moore said.

Both he and Tollison said they thought there would be little support to reverse the start date law.

“They better get over that because I don’t know if there’s any mood in the House and the Senate to alter that in any way,” Moore said.

Lawmakers try to avert teacher pay cutBY JEFF AMYAssociated Press

STARKVILLE — Start-ing in January, Missis-sippi peanut farmers will have a dedicated profes-sional to turn to for infor-mation.

WCBI reports that Ja-son Sarver has been hired as peanut specialist by the Mississippi State Uni-versity Extension Service and Mississippi Agricul-tural and Forestry Experi-ment Station.

Sarver is a native of Berea, Ky. He earned a master’s degree in plant and soil science in 2009 from the University of Kentucky. He is currently a doctoral candidate at

the University of Georgia, where he is studying pea-nut agronomics.

“Jason has an extensive degree of training in all aspects of peanut produc-tion and management,” said Mike Phillips, head of the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences at Mis-sissippi State. “His thor-ough understanding of soil fertility, harvest man-agement, weed control, variety selection and con-trol of plant diseases is an invaluable asset to peanut production in our state.”

Sarver’s offi ce will be in Dorman Hall on the uni-versity’s Starkville cam-pus.

Horoscopes

Corinth resident Eula Byram will celebrate her 100th birthday on Wednesday. See the story

coming by Sarah Rowland on Tuesday in a special 32-page edition with many other feature stories,

including Steve Shaw and Tyler Corbin.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What if you found out that the whole world was made for you instead of the other way around? Would it change the way you en-joy it? Today’s pleasures are not to be missed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in the mood to work whether or not you have to. It will feel good to know you’re getting ahead. Your excellence today paves the way for greater excel-lence in the future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll feel better because you make the conscious choice to see things around you differ-ently. You don’t actually have to change anything you do. Just fl irting with another point of view is enough to make a difference.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re ready to take some advice -- the kind that will require sev-eral hours to follow. Since you’re going to be putting a great deal of effort into this, you should lis-ten exclusively to those with a

proven success story.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Group

efforts are favored. You’ll be in-teracting with people you don’t know well. When confl ict arises, welcome it. This is an opportu-nity to see who you’re really deal-ing with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be-fore you do what you planned, consider that your day could go a few different ways and that your options drastically differ. Think of that person you admire so much. What would that person choose?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There will be some kind of frenzy to contend with. It may seem that no one is looking out for you. This is a sign that it’s on you to see that your own best interests are served.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Anyone who talks about what kind of person they are is wav-ing a major red fl ag in your face. Usually, people are the opposite of what they proclaim, at least some of the time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have stories you haven’t learned how to tell yet. Casual conversation will lead to self-revelation. People who fi nd you interesting will help you fi gure out which topics you could mine.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll do the job you were assigned to the best of your abil-ity regardless of impediments such as diffi cult people with horrible personalities. You’ll get your chance to speak up, but not today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The reason you don’t want to accept help is that at this junc-ture, you wish to rise to a level of personal confi dence that can only be developed through self-reliance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll exercise your will, but whether you get your way or not will seem to be under someone else’s control -- for now. You count, and your actions will mat-ter in the long run.

DEAR ABBY: I am in my late 20s and recently became en-gaged to my boyfriend of more than a year. He is in his early 30s. His parents live on the other side of the country, and we see them only twice a year. We plan on visiting them for the holidays, and some friends of theirs will be throwing us a bridal shower.

I was married before. I was 18 and it lasted three years. I was devastated when it ended. Am I obligated to tell them about my previous marriage? My fi ancé knows, of course.

This is not something I like to discuss. I was raised in a very re-ligious household where divorce is looked down upon. My fi ancé’s parents are not particularly reli-gious, however. -- UNCOMFORT-

ABLE IN ST. LOUIS

DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE:

While this may not be something you like to discuss, disclose it to your fi ancé’s parents before the wedding. This trip would be a good time to do it, so you can answer any questions that might arise.

Tell them that it’s not some-thing you usually talk about, but you and their son didn’t want them to think you are hiding any-thing. If the subject comes up in the future, tell them that it is in the past and you do not wish to discuss it further.

D E A R

ABBY: As a teacher, I open my doors every year to at least one student who has low self-esteem. I spend the school year searching for ways to show

that child he or she has value. I feel there is no more important lesson for me to teach.

These children’s parents don’t mean for this to happen. They want their children to be “per-fect.” The children, though, know they aren’t perfect and feel that who they are isn’t enough.

Parents, does this sound fa-miliar? If so, then love your chil-dren as you did when they fi rst learned to walk. Love them un-conditionally when they fail and encourage them to try again. When they make a mistake, cel-ebrate the strength it took to try. When they mess up, let them know you love them even when they aren’t at their best.

Remember, feelings stay with children forever. When things get hard, allow your children to fail and to fi x it themselves. Cel-ebrate who your children are. Un-conditional love is the greatest

gift parents can give their chil-dren. -- KATHY IN ELK GROVE,

CALIF.

DEAR KATHY: I’m glad you wrote. You have a wise head and a caring heart, which is an un-beatable combination in an edu-cator. The lessons your students are learning in your classroom will infl uence their lives long af-ter they are out of school.

DEAR ABBY: My partner and I were happy to be married two weeks ago, now that same-sex couples can marry here in Cali-fornia. During the 25 years that we have been together, we have introduced each other simply as “my partner.”

Is it now socially correct to in-troduce each other as “my hus-band”? It sounds right to us, but would it make straight people uncomfortable? -- RON IN SAN

DIEGO

DEAR RON: Because gay mar-riage is new to many people, it may do that initially. But to call your spouse “husband” is cor-rect, so go ahead and do it. As more gay and lesbian couples offi cially tie the knot, the less un-usual it will be. Trust me on that.

BY EDDIE PELLSAP National Writer

DENVER — When Peyton Manning lines up against the Tennessee Titans, he’ll be keeping his eye on a handful of numbers:

—’99’ is defensive tackle and sack specialist Jurrell Casey;

—’53’ is the all-important ‘Mike’ linebacker, Moise Fok-ou;

—and ‘20’ is cornerback Al-terraun Verner, who leads the Titans with fi ve interceptions.

But Manning’s biggest challenge Sunday is overcom-ing another number: ‘14,’ as in, the forecast high in Den-ver on Sunday.

“We’ll handle it just like any

other team has to,” Manning said.

If only it were that simple.Manning’s less-than-stel-

lar record in the cold — he’s 8-11 when game-time tem-perature is 40 or below — has been Topic No. 1 in Denver this week. The Broncos (10-2) are heading into the home-stretch of the season with the best record in the AFC, positioned for home-fi eld ad-vantage through the playoffs, with the Super Bowl in poten-tially frigid New York.

Granted, these icy tem-peratures in Denver aren’t all that common — a point John Elway went out of his way to make when he was re-cruiting Manning to the Mile

High City. In 54 seasons of pro football in Denver, only eight games have started with the temperature in the teens or below. One of them, of course, was last year’s 13-de-gree playoff contest against Baltimore. A loss.

More recently, Manning and the Broncos fell at New England, where the wind chill was 6.

Manning was something less than his usual, impecca-ble self in both those games. His quarterback rating of 83.1 in the 19 cold-weather games he’s played is about 14 points lower than in the other 237.

In preparation for the cold weather, Manning started experimenting with wear-

ing gloves last season. The cold weather, combined with his multiple neck surgeries, causes a loss of feeling in his hands.

“It’s part of the adjustment that I’ve made and tried to ad-just and still working through it, kind of, each time that I wear it,” he said.

Manning threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns against a woeful Kansas City team to close last season in his only other cold-weather game in Denver, proving that, indeed, he can produce, es-pecially when the opponent doesn’t put up much resis-tance. He’s had the advantage

BOONEVILLE — Devario Dorsey was back on familiar ground.

The Corinth native re-turned to the northeast Mis-sissippi area as an all-star coach for the 40th Missis-sippi Association of Com-munity and Junior Colleges (MACJC) All-Star Football Classic at Northeast Missis-sippi Community College on Thursday.

Dorsey, who was part of the North All-Star coaching staff from Mississippi Delta Community College, helped lead a defensive struggle contest that saw just three scores – all fi eld goals in a 6-3 decision by the South all-stars.

Dorsey played his college ball at West Texas A&M Uni-versity and was a two-year starter at right guard for the Buffaloes from 2007-08. He went on to be named all-Lone Star Conference second team. Following his senior year, Dorsey played in the 2009 Cactus Bowl.

The former Corinth War-rior played offensive tackle for East Mississippi Com-munity College for two years and rated second on the team

in pancake blocks while also grading out as the best line-man in every game by his coaches. He was honored as a second team MACJC All-State selection and was in-vited to play in the MACJC

All-Star Football Classic.Dorsey, who played one

season at Corinth High School and guided the War-riors to a 10-2 record, earned a Bachelor of Science in Sports and Exercise Science.

He earned his Master’s in Kinesiology from the Univer-sity of Southern Arkansas.

The coach has been an as-sistant coach at both West Texas A&M and Southern Arkansas.

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee’s Jarnell Stokes considers him-self more of a rebounder than a scorer, but the 6-foot-8 for-ward understands his team gets a boost whenever he as-serts himself more in the of-fense.

Stokes had 19 points and 13 rebounds for his fourth con-secutive double-double Sat-urday as Tennessee erased an early second-half defi cit in an 84-63 victory over Tennessee Tech. During this stretch of double-doubles, Stokes has averaged 18.3 points and 11.8 rebounds per game.

“I think it’s a mentality,” Stokes said. “I came out try-ing to score the ball, calling for the ball, asking for the ball, demanding the ball. That’s something I wasn’t do-ing in the earlier games.”

Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin had spent the week emphasizing the importance of working the ball to Stokes and senior forward Jeronne Maymon, both 6-foot-8 and

260 pounds. Stokes has av-eraged 8.5 points in Tennes-see’s two losses and 17 points per game in the Volunteers’ six wins.

Stokes focused on rebound-ing earlier in the season while relying on teammate Jordan McRae to handle the scoring load. Stokes now realizes he needs to put the ball in the basket more often.

“I want to rebound,” Stokes said. “That’s what I enjoy doing. I let guys like Jordan score because he can score the ball with the best in the nation, but I feel like the team needs me to score also.”

Stokes also had two blocks and two assists Saturday without being called for a single foul in 31 minutes. His presence helped Tennessee (6-2) outrebound Tennessee Tech 43-29 and outscore the Golden Eagles 20-8 in sec-ond-chance points.

Tennessee Tech (5-6) en-tered the day with a plus-7.5 rebound margin, but it hadn’t faced a frontcourt of Tennes-see’s caliber.

“We’re a pretty good re-bounding team ourselves,” Tennessee Tech coach Steve Payne said. “They took our strength and beat us in it.”

McRae scored 16 points and Josh Richardson had 13 as Tennessee committed only fi ve turnovers all day and broke the game open with a 22-1 run early in the second half. Maymon had 13 points and seven rebounds off the bench after being pulled from the starting lineup for arriv-ing late for the team’s pre-game preparations

Jordan Johnson scored 15 points, Ty Allen had 14 and Jeremiah Samarrippas added 10 for Tennessee Tech.

Tennessee Tech led by as many as seven points in the fi rst half as it capitalized on sizzling outside shooting. The Golden Eagles made seven of their fi rst eight 3-point at-tempts and were 8 of 11 from beyond the arc at halftime.

The Golden Eagles had en-tered the day shooting just 30.3 percent on 3-pointers this season. Johnson, who

was averaging just 3.8 points per game, had a career-high 15 by halftime after shooting 4 of 4 from 3-point range in the fi rst 20 minutes.

“The only problem with that is that we hit a lot of shots, but we never established our inside game,” Payne said. “I felt like we could score on the blocks. We never did that the whole game.”

That proved critical when Tennessee Tech’s outside shots stopped falling.

After combining for 25 points in the fi rst half, John-son and Samarrippas didn’t score the rest of the game. And on a day when they shot 10 of 20 from 3-point range, the Golden Eagles went just 3 of 12 from the free-throw line.

Tennessee Tech led 42-41 with 18:57 left in the game, but the Golden Eagles wouldn’t make another bas-ket for the next 7 ½ minutes as Tennessee scored 22 of the next 23 points.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. —— Shaq Goodwin scored a career-high 21 points, Memphis shot 54 percent and the No. 16 Ti-gers defeated Northwestern State 96-76 on Saturday.

Goodwin fi nished 8 of 11 from the fi eld for Memphis (6-1). Joe Jackson scored 18 points with fi ve assists and Michael Dixon Jr. had 14 points, connecting on 6 of 9 from the fi eld.

Jalan West had 15 points to lead Northwestern State (3-4), which lost for the fourth time in its last fi ve. DeQuan

Hicks scored 13 points and Patrick Robinson had 12 points for the Demons, who shot 40 percent from the fi eld. That included only 3 of 18 shots from beyond the arc.

Memphis never trailed and led by as many as 30 with just over 6 minutes left. At that point, Memphis coach Josh Pastner substituted his start-ers.

The game was expected to be a fast-paced affair. The Demons entered as one of the highest-scoring teams in the country, averaging 89.7 points. But they also allow 90.8 points, near the bottom

of the NCAA stats.Memphis, which averages

84.8 points, displayed its of-fensive fi repower in the fi rst half. The Tigers connected on 58 percent of their shots be-fore the break and led 56-29 at intermission. Dixon and Goodwin had 12 points each to lead Memphis.

The Demons struggled of-fensively in the fi rst half, hit-ting slightly under 30 percent from the fi eld and missing all but one of their 10 shots from 3-point range.

Memphis’ lead was 11 with 8:36 left in the half when the Tigers began making shot

from all over the fl oor. They increased the lead to 41-26, and Memphis then made 12 straight points.

Northwestern State was able to cut into the lead to open the second half. In the fi rst 4 minutes of the half, the Tigers were averaging a turnover a minute. The slop-py play by Memphis would result in the Tigers fi nishing with 17 turnovers, compared to 13 for the Demons.

Still, any push by the De-mons, including shooting 50 percent through a signifi cant portion of the half, was not enough to deter the Tigers.

of throwing in frigid practice condi-tions this week. The temperature won’t crack 20 until next week. And he’ll get another chance next Thurs-day, when the Broncos play their regular-season home fi nale against San Diego, with nighttime tempera-tures expected in the low 20s.

It fi gures one team with a record around .500 will grab the AFC’s fi -nal playoff spot. The Titans are in that mix. They would be in better shape, of course, if they hadn’t lost fi ve games by a touchdown or less. “I feel like we’ve been given a lot of chances,” running back Chris John-son said. “I feel like we’re working hard right now as a team and just trying to stick together and just try-ing to squeeze in.”

The Broncos welcomed back coach John Fox this week, four weeks after his surgery for aortic valve replacement. He said he’s feeling fi ne and actually wanted to come back to work sooner. He was striding around the practice fi eld, as usual, in the cold weather Thursday, and on Friday, said he would coach from the sideline.

About the best thing that could be said about Denver’s 27th-ranked de-fense last week in a 35-28 win over the Chiefs is that it held them out of the end zone when it mattered most. Trailing by a touchdown, Kansas City drove 83 yards late in the fourth quarter and came up empty. The Chiefs also got shut out after a 77-yard drive in the fi rst quarter.

Led by quarterback Ryan Fitzpat-rick, the Titans are not a big-play offense. Johnson is their most con-sistent threat, though he averages only 3.8 yards a carry. In theory, grinding out fi rst downs and chew-ing up the clock works well against Manning. But for Tennessee to have any chance of winning, it will have to improve on its 53.8 percent rate of scoring touchdowns when it gets inside the 20.

Rookie Montee Ball had his break-out game for the Broncos last week: 13 carries, 117 yards and, most im-portantly, no fumbles. He still hasn’t budged Knowshon Moreno — he of the emotional, pregame crying out-burst — from the starting lineup and Moreno hasn’t done anything to lose the job. While being held to only 15 yards rushing last week, he caught four passes for 72 yards.

Bell, playing in place of an injured Trevor Knight, led the Sooners (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) on the game-winning 66-yard drive — going 5-of-8 for 57 yards on the drive.

McRae and Richardson each scored fi ve points during the 22-1 spurt. The Vols also got a spark from Armani Moore, who started 16 games last season but had recently fallen out of the rotation. Moore had fi ve points, six rebounds and two blocks in 16 minutes.

high schools to get up early Saturday morning to help. Rotarians also had the assistance of Boy Scout Troop 27 on hand to load over 1,000 food boxes.

“Our volunteers are anxious to work, and they show up and get the job done,” said basket chair-man Jason Marlar.

The civic club and newspaper set a commu-nity fundraising goal of $25,000 this year. As of Saturday morning, $6,145 had been collected, so the baskets were given away on faith the goal will be reached.

“All of us get satisfac-tion of helping people in need,” said Marlar. “I wish we could give a bas-ket to every family in the county.”

Instead of fi ghting the 29-degree temp outside, Marlar said a decision was made Thursday night to have recipients drive through the arena.

“We didn’t know if there would be rain or ice on Saturday,” he said. “We didn’t want the kids out in that, so Greg (Moss) was

kind enough to allow re-cipients to drive through the building.”

Alcorn Central High School Beta Club spon-sors Rebecca Lewis and Becky Whittemore have been part of the giveaway for 10 years.

“This is the best thing about being a Beta spon-sor,” said Whittemore. “Today teaches kids about giving back to the com-munity … they love doing it and if they don’t have jobs to go to, they are here.”

According to Lewis, students were excited about taking part in the annual project.

“They came to us and wanted to know when it was going to be,” she said. “By taking part, it shows the kids it’s not all about them.”

Rotarian Ronnie Sleep-er wanted the volunteers to serve with a smile as they loaded the vehicles.

“You are doing some-thing really good, so smile and say Merry Christ-mas,” Sleeper told the whole group before get-ting started.

As the rush of vehicles began to slow during the 8 a.m. giveaway, Marlar was able to look around and be thankful for the support of volunteers through the years.

“We have people who know what they are doing when it comes to this,” he said. “The plan doesn’t change, it’s just different faces loading the boxes.”

Donations can be brought to the Daily Co-rinthian offi ce at 1607 Harper Road or mailed to Attn: Christmas Bas-ket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, Miss. 38835.

All tributes will be pub-lished in the Daily Co-rinthian until Christmas Day.

History1B • Daily Corinthian Sunday, December 8, 2013

BY TOM PARSONNPS Ranger

Way back in June of 2012 I told you the tale of a soldier executed for de-sertion in Corinth. I made a promise to tell you the story of his unusual unit, a Union regiment made up of men from Alabama, Mississippi, and every other state in the South. They were the 1st Ala-bama Cavalry (Union).

Confederates from the area didn’t think much of these boys. They were given nicknames like “Tories,” “Loyalists,” and “Homespun Yankees.”

The truth is, this area we live in was a hotbed of Northern sentiment. Tishomingo County (modern Alcorn, Prentiss, and Tishomingo) was pro-Union as were Har-din County in Tennes-see and just about every county in northwest Ala-bama. For the most part the men farmed their own land and there were few slaves to work the land. There was a strong be-lief that fi ghting for the Confederacy was fi ghting to protect other men’s slaves.

Granted, there were a great number of men in these parts who chose to serve the Confederacy, but there were also a great number who re-sisted. Rather than enlist or submit to the draft, many chose to hide out. Sergeant Joseph Horn-back of the 21st Ohio ex-plained, “There are plenty of Union men who have kept clear of the rebel conscription by lying out

in the mountains for the last year. The Union sen-timents have cost them something.”

The loyalty to the old fl ag led many of the hold-outs to join this new regi-ment, an outfi t whose en-listed men came almost exclusively from South-ern states. The offi cers and senior sergeants were drawn from Union regi-ments around Corinth and most were experi-enced combat soldiers. Joseph Hornback was one of these and he was promoted to lieutenant in the 1st Alabama.

The regiment had an odd birth with men re-cruited in Nashville and Huntsville as well as Corinth. The majority of the men came from Ala-bama including 19 year old James Strain who walked 300 miles along with his friend Thomas Huey to join up. Others came from the Caroli-nas, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Florida.

Some of the men en-listed in Union occupied Huntsville and it was here that a Northern colonel observed these new re-cruits. “When it is taken into consideration that these people were all hid to avoid being taken by the rebels and that the country is but sparsely settled, this case is with-out parallel in American history. I have never wit-nessed such an outpour-ing of devoted and deter-mined patriotism among any other people.”

A good example was the fi ve Barton brothers (Jon-

athan, Gilford, James, Madison, and William), and three of their broth-ers-in-law, who came from Winston County, Alabama. When they refused to join the Con-federate army their lives were threatened, homes burned, and livestock sto-len or killed.

Closer to home were the men from Tishomin-go County who came into Corinth to pledge their allegiance to Uncle Sam. Men like Storex Spain, a farmer living near Jacinto who decided to make the short trek north to join the U.S. Army. He was joined by a total of nineteen oth-er men from the county, including the three Van Hoose brothers, Robert, Lewis, and William. Most of the Tishomingo contin-gent were teenagers and two of them were only 16 years old.

As far as age goes, the youngest man (boy) in the unit was 15 year-old Da-vid Suttlmires of Tippah

County. David enlisted in Chewalla with two broth-ers and an uncle. His un-cle Jacob died in Corinth of dysentery and David was severely wounded at a nasty little fi ght at Vin-cent’s Crossroads, Ala-bama, near Red Bay.

The oldster of the 1st Alabama was Sergeant Allen Smith, a 68 year-old blacksmith from Pitt County, North Carolina. Active service in the Civil War was a young man’s game but the 6’1” Allen hung in there with the best of them until he was struck down by the mea-sles.

The most amazing en-listments were the six-teen teamsters and un-dercooks, all of “African Descent.” At this point in the war it was not unusu-al to see black soldiers in blue uniforms; they had been allowed to enlist in regiments for well over a year. What was unique in the 1st Alabama was that Negro soldiers were al-

lowed to enlist in a white regiment. They may have been given the “rank” of cook or teamster but their enlistment forms were identical to every white soldier in the U.S. Army. In addition, their records show they were issued weapons and accouter-ments and at least one of the group, Joel Pool, was wounded in action at Monroe’s Crossroads, North Carolina. The 1st Alabama was an integrat-ed regiment.

Don’t confuse the 1st Alabama with regiments like those in the U.S. Colored Troops who had white offi cers. I’m talking about units that had both white and black enlisted men.

As rare as this was, the 1st Alabama was not unique in this regard. There were a number of Union regiments that al-lowed blacks to enlist as cooks when in reality they were serving as soldiers. The idea, however, was

a little too revolutionary and it would be another 85 years, during the Kore-an War, before white and black enlisted men would openly serve together in the same army units.

Most of the soldiers in the 1st Alabama were country folk and were ac-customed to riding and the transition to cavalry was an easy one. The men settled into their new digs in Camp Glendale (mod-ern-day Glen) and they began to work and train as a team.

At the head of the regi-ment was Colonel George Eliphaz Spencer, formerly the Chief of Staff for Brig. Gen. Grenville Dodge. Dodge was the command-er of the Corinth garrison and since Spencer was Dodge’s right-hand-man the chances are pretty good that he stayed with his boss at the Verandah House.

Generations ago, plan-ning a wedding was 100 percent the bride’s job, but in today’s age of gen-der equity, it’s a mere 99 percent.

Yes, we modern men are more involved than ever, but many of us are still left wondering, “How can I take a more active role in the stress and panic of planning the happiest day of my life?”

Gentlemen, you’ve come to the right guy.

Groom Job 1: Plan the menu. When it comes to cuisine, the cru-cial question is: cash bar or open bar? Once you’ve chosen the latter, tackle other meal-related mat-ters. Will you keep your open bar open through-out the reception or for the fi rst hour only? (Hint: throughout the recep-tion.) What about hors d’oeuvres? Will your

guests be sipping them through bottles, glasses or cans? Remember, you can’t please everyone. Therefore, it’s best to in-scribe BYOB under RSVP on your wedding invita-tions. You may also want to consider serving some food.

Groom Job 2: Book the music. Wedding musicians are expensive, so cut costs by asking your groomsmen to lip synch and air guitar to a playl-

ist you’ll download from iTunes. Alternatively, you can hire a deejay. A dee-jay is an individual who sees your wedding as an opportunity to act out his fantasies of being Eddie Van Halen, Rock God, by dancing in place to all his favorite hits. Remind him that it is your special day, not his. Inform him that the song you’ve chosen for your fi rst dance isn’t actually “Hot For Teach-er.” Request that he blend

into the background, per-haps by streaming his set to the dance fl oor from his booth in the banquet hall boiler room.

Groom Job 3: Man-age the guest list. Tra-dition dictates that the groom cut everyone off his list to make more room for his bride’s list. This is easier than it sounds. Just review all the people on your list and think of one reason not to invite them. Let’s start with your best man, “Bob.” Remember that time “Bob” borrowed your drill and returned it without recharging the battery? Put a big red slash through “Bob’s” name right now. Before you know it, the only one left on your list will be you. To demonstrate what a generous husband you’ll be, cut yourself from the list, too. Dude, you’ll be spending the rest of your life with your bride. Is it really going to kill you if you’re not together on one lousy day?

Groom Job 4: Help register for gifts. From the male point of view, there are three kinds of gifts: 1. things you already have; 2. things you don’t need; and 3. bowls. To help your guests select stuff you actually want,

you may be tempted to register at offbeat places like Sports Authority and Home Depot. This is fi ne as long as you real-ize that no one’s going to get you anything from these places. They are go-ing to get you bowls. So go help your bride pick out punch bowls, bisque bowls, bowls to hold other bowls. If you don’t, you’ll miss out on the most re-warding groom job of all: returning them for a full cash refund as soon as you get back from your honeymoon.

Groom Job 5: Plan the honeymoon. Choosing a destination typically falls to the man, which explains why many couples are slapped with steep penalty fees upon cancelling their fl ights to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Remember, your honeymoon is a time to rest, to recuperate, to ex-perience the phenomenon of everyone being unchar-acteristically nice to you.

Groom: Excuse me, fl ight attendant, do you think we can have two peanuts instead of one?

Flight Attendant: What does this look like, Chez Panisse?

Groom: We are on our honeymoon.

The Associated Press NEW YORK — Some-

one was willing to pay big bucks for an early glimpse of what would become the Boss’ “run-away American dream.”

A handwritten, work-ing lyric sheet for Bruce Springsteen’s 1975 hit “Born to Run” sold at Sotheby’s Thursday for $197,000, well exceed-ing pre-sale estimates of between $70,000 and $100,000.

The auction house didn’t reveal the identity of either the seller or the telephone bidder who bought the document, which used to be in the collection of Springs-teen’s former manager, Mike Appel.

The title track of

Springsteen’s 1975 mul-tiplatinum album has revved up generations of fans, from its open-ing view of “the streets of a runaway American dream” to its high-oc-tane chorus: “tramps like us/baby we were born to run.” Some Springsteen afi cionados still refer to themselves as “tramps.”

Most of the lines in this rough 1974 version, writ-ten in Long Branch, N.J., are apparently unpub-lished and unrecorded, but the manuscript does include “a nearly per-fected chorus,” the auc-tion house said. It’s one of only two identifi ed manuscripts that include the rock anthem’s most famous lines, according to Sotheby’s.

There are also some enigmatic notes in the margins, words includ-ing “wild” and “angels” and what looks like “velocity,” the letter “t’’ crossed with a curlicue fl ourish.

Over the years, Spring-steen and Appel have gotten back on good terms.

In November 2009, Springsteen invited Ap-pel and his son to fl y with the E Street Band to its tour fi nale in Buf-falo, N.Y., and during the show, Springsteen pub-licly acknowledged Ap-pel’s contributions to his career.

Springsteen told The Associated Press in 2010 that he and Appel were “very good friends.”

MARK KENNEDYAP Drama Writer

NEW YORK — Whew, that was nerve-wracking, right? All those kids and staircases, pillow fi ghts, candles and dancing. But somehow the cast and crew of NBC’s three-hour live telecast of “The Sound of Music” pulled it off Thursday night with only a trodden-on dress, some inconsistent sound levels and a fl ubbed few words.

This was the fi rst time in more than a half-cen-tury since a broadcast network dared to mount a full-scale musical for live TV and there seemed to be danger everywhere, making it impossible to stop watching in case one of the von Trapp kids tumbled into a fountain or a camera accidental-ly exploded. But it was all whiskers on kittens

and warm woolen mit-tens, for the most part.

The only real problem was the real reason most people tuned in: Carrie Underwood, an “Ameri-can Idol” winner and country music star, sang well as Maria but her act-ing inexperience was laid bare. She had zero chem-istry with her love interest and lacked any intensity or shading. Deer in head-lights have emoted more. How do you solve a prob-lem like Maria, indeed.

Underwood was done no favors by being sur-rounded by some Broad-way veterans — Christian Borle, Laura Benanti and Audra McDonald, espe-cially — who thrive under the lights and pressure. This is what these Tony Award winners do for a living and it showed. Underwood would never

have gotten through the audition process if this was a regular Broadway musical. Her co-stars overpowered her at every turn. It was like watch-ing a Nissan Sentra try to drag race with a pack of Bugatti Veyrons.

Full credit goes to Underwood for trying, though. She was not just dancing and singing live in front of millions in a medium she is a novice at, but she also was step-ping into the role made famous by Julie Andrews in the 1965 fi lm. As if that wasn’t enough, it was also only a few hours after the death of Nelson Mandela. Theater lovers mocked her on Twitter but the only reason we got to see this Rodgers and Ham-merstein masterpiece on TV was Underwood. No one is about to build a live network musical around

a Broadway star, alas.

Viewers who tuned in hoping to catch the fi lm version may have been surprised at what was broadcast from a Long Island soundstage. This show was based on the stage original, penned as a vehicle for Mary Mar-tin, not the Andrews fi lm. It includes several songs that were left out of the movie — “No Way to Stop It” and “How Can Love Survive” — and is darker, with more Nazis. Both have the timeless tunes “My Favorite Things,” ‘‘Do-Re-Mi,” ‘‘Sixteen Go-ing on Seventeen,” ‘‘The Sound of Music” and “Climb Every Mountain.”

The directors — Tony-nominated director and choreographer Rob Ash-ford and Emmy-nomi-nated “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock”

director-producer Beth McCarthy-Miller — used all six sets effi ciently and the dozen cameras worked hard, catch-ing close-ups as well as sweeping shots. But it was often strangely life-less, with the crack and zing of being live rarely transmitting through the screen.

It was supposed to be spectacular, appointment TV in this era of DVRs and binge watching. It’s unclear if this was the breakthrough that will start a whole new musi-cal revolution. What it really turned out to be was an advertisement for Broadway (smart shows currently running like “Wicked” and “Rogers + Hammerstein’s Cinder-ella” bought commer-cials) and the skills that veterans of the stage can bring.

Borle was arch and wonderfully slimy as Max, Benanti was glam-orously witty as Elsa, and McDonald was a majestic Mother Abbess. Michael Campayno as Rolf was a natural though he’s still in drama school and Ariane Rinehart was a winning Liesl. Stephen Moyer, who is primarily known for his work on HBO’s “True Blood,” was a particularly stern Cap-tain and more than a few people watching would probably have liked him to ditch the nun drop-out and stay with Benanti.

But Carrie Underwood was the star and she gets her man in the end. And, ultimately, it was Under-wood who got us to even tune in on Thursday. Yet it was Borle, Benanti and McDonald who showed the world how to hold a moonbeam in your hand.

alry was being actively re-cruited but there was not yet a commanding offi cer. Spencer asked Dodge for the job and the 28 year-old captain was given a promotion to colonel and the top spot in the regi-ment.

For the next fi ve months the regiment was busy on raids and scouts in Mis-sissippi and Alabama. As the weather turned cooler they moved into the win-ter quarters at Camp Da-vies just south of Corinth.

As the soldiers began their new life in the mili-tary their thoughts were still on the folks at home. Life truly became unbear-able on the home front when the local Confeder-ates learned of the “trai-torous” behavior of their former neighbors. There were more burnings and retaliations. As a result the refugee families, wives and children, be-gan to fl ock into Corinth for the protection of the army.

Unlike the black refu-gees or “contrabands” who were housed in a model camp along Phil-lips Creek, the white fam-ilies from Alabama and Mississippi lived in tents

and shacks near the camp of the 1st Alabama. In a stroke of luck, a brigade of Ohio troops was trans-ferred out of Corinth and the refugees were able to move into their cozy quarters.

When the Union aban-doned Corinth on Janu-ary 24, 1864, it was the 1st Alabama Cavalry who were given the job of de-stroying what could not be carried off. Sgt. Ma-jor Francis Dunn wrote, “We began to destroy the quarters and public build-ings. We had orders not to take or destroy any pri-vate property and the ma-jor was very careful not to have any of the build-ings fi red but the large government buildings made such a tremendous fi re that other buildings caught fi re…there is but little left of Corinth.”

The 1st Alabama was sent east and joined Sher-man’s campaign to take Atlanta and were heav-ily engaged in many of the subsequent battles. In mid-November they joined the infamous March-to-the-Sea.

At the end of the war the regiment returned to North Alabama where they oversaw the begin-ning of Reconstruction

in that district. There had to have been some hard feelings and tense situa-tions when the men who had been run out of the area returned as the vic-tors. There was violence in the area for years to come.

As for Colonel Spencer, he became a true “carpet-bagger” and opened up a law offi ce in Decatur, Alabama. During recon-struction the Republican dominated government appointed him as a U.S. Senator and somehow he managed to win re-election at the end of his term. Spencer stands alone as the only Repub-lican reelected to the sen-ate from a Southern state in the post-reconstruc-tion South.

It’s not to say he was a good politician, he was just a very able crook. Look him up some time; you’ll see that to call him a snake is to insult the serpent. He was a known for embezzling, vote tam-pering, and placing his incompetent, thieving cronies in public offi ce.

I’m sorry that I’m end-ing this story on a sour note, but I just can’t bring myself to say any-thing good about the guy who burned Corinth.

TV Review: Broadway wins in live ‘Sound of Music’

Springsteen draft sells for $197KNASHVILLE — CMT’s

celebration of country music’s top artists of 2013 was a complete dude fest.

Whether it was salut-ing Tim McGraw as a more-relevant-than-ever trailblazer, acknowledg-ing the genre’s love-hate relationship with Florida Georgia Line, the pre-cociousness of Hunter Hayes or the current dominance of good bud-dies Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan, Tuesday night’s live broadcast of “CMT Artists of the Year” had plenty of bro hugs to go around.

“It’s really cool to be part of this fraternity and what’s going on in Nashville right now, and country music is one of the coolest things in the

world,” Aldean said as he accepted his fourth artist of the year award — one for each edition of the fourth annual show. “I’m glad to be a part of it. I’m glad people like what I do.”

Fraternity was the right word for the night — and the year — in country mu-sic.

Men ruled country ra-dio this year, and thus the format, with only Miran-da Lambert, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood making waves in what’s considered mainstream country. Tuesday’s show refl ected that year.

McGraw made some-thing of a comeback this year, releasing his fi rst post-Curb Records album and reclaiming his place

as one of country’s most bankable stars under a new record deal with Big Machine Records. Mc-Graw acknowledged his fellow honorees while ac-cepting his new trophy.

FGL, which also in-cludes Tyler Hubbard, performed new hit “Stay.” Lady Antebellum per-formed McGraw’s “High-way Don’t Care” with Pe-ter Frampton handling guitar solo duties. Hunter Hayes and Pat Monahan of Train mashed up their hits “I Want Crazy” and “Hey Soul Sister.” Travis Tritt performed Aldean’s “Night Train” with Cas-sadee Pope, and Bryan topped off the show by choosing to perform duets of “Oh No” and “All Night Long” with Lionel Richie.
