Basket Fund“A Community

Tradition”

The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Crossroads area as donations continue to arrive daily for the 17th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian 2012 Christmas Basket Fund.

The civic club and newspa-per have set a $20,000 com-munity fundraising goal this year so 1,000 food baskets could be given away to local families last Saturday at the Crossroads Arena. The event was a huge success this year with plenty of need.

The total now stands at $14,305, meaning just $5,695 needs to be raised from the community as there will be no corporate match this year. Food was distributed on faith the goal will be reached by Christmas Day.

Recent donations include $25 from Jerry and Bar-bara Yarber in memory of Pauline Carpenter and Jean Yarber; $200 from Glennan and Jan Grady; $200 from Buchanan Enterprises, Inc./Bill’s Pawn Shop in memory of Bro. Pete Wooley; $25 from W.D. and Johanna Smith in memory of Lynette Smith Meeks; $100 from Dwight and Rita Massengill in memory of his parents, Raymond and Juanita Mas-sengill; $200 from Hard-wick and Company P.A. in memory of Peggy Bain and Kathy Robbins; $100 from Doris Brewer in memory of Bob Stickland; $30 from Evelyn L.

In the aftermath of an event like the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., everyone is affected in one way or another.

In this particular instance, with small children gunned down in cold blood along with the school employees tasked with caring for them, many have questions about how to talk to their children about the recent tragedy — and, just as importantly, how to listen.

“The fi rst safety need children have after becoming aware of a tragedy is a safe place and safe adults with whom to express what it’s like for them,” said li-censed professional counselor Jaylene Whitehurst of Corinth. “They need home and parents

and caring adults to provide an accepting, non-judgmental environment where they can question freely.”

Whitehurst also emphasized the importance of acknowledg-ing that there are things that event adults don’t understand. There is bad in the world, but there is also much good, she said.

“We don’t deny the bad,” she said. “But we don’t want to add to it. We need to add to the good. Kids are good in under-standing that.”

Adults must pay attention to their own feelings and talk to someone about their response to the events in order to man-age them.

“We don’t have to totally come to grips with the event. We do need to be able to moni-

tor our feelings and express them appropriately,” said Whitehurst. “It’s okay to be sad, angry, shocked. It’s how we regulate and display it that matters.”

The following are Whitehu-rst’s thoughts on listening to children after tragic events:

■ Meet each child where they are. Some children will be ex-tremely aware of the news; some less so. Responses will vary from child to child and from age to age. Young chil-dren are naturally self-focused and may not react as strongly as adults expect they will. Or their attention to it may bounce around, from very disturbed one minute to playing happily the next. This is natural.

■ If you feel a need to bring up the event fi rst so that you are the source of information, rather than rumor or media, be sure it’s to give the child an opportunity to process what’s happened and not your own

need to release your anxiety by talking. Focus on your child’s needs. You can begin by asking what they have heard about it.

■ Reassure your child you do all you can to keep them safe and that many people work to keep them safe. Let your child know there are many kind people in the world and that we heard about it, but it didn’t happen here. For some chil-dren, this will be reassuring. Others will have more ques-tions.

■ When children have ques-tions, keep answers honest and short. Be mindful of overload-ing them with too much infor-mation. Keep it brief and ad-dress what your child asks.

■ Be prepared for your child to keep asking the same ques-tions over and over. This is a way of processing what’s hap-pening and looking for com-fort. Know this may happen

Salvation Army Director Michelle Miles (left) and assistant director Cindy Burcham need the community’s help in adopting 48 children for Christmas.

An agency always the fi rst to help needs a quick response from the community.

The Salvation Army has 48 names remaining to be adopted from its Angel Tree. The chil-dren need someone to assist in making Christmas brighter at the close of the business day today, according to director Mi-

chelle Miles.“We need to get them adopted

as quickly as we can,” said Miles.Over 200 names appeared on

the tree placed at the entrance of Walmart. The tree has been tak-en down with the names now at the Salvation Army. The agency is located at 1209 U.S. Highway 72 West.

“They can come by the Salva-tion Army and we will make ar-

rangements,” added Miles.The director said a good fi gure

to spend on each child is $50-$60 with donations gladly ac-cepted to help with the annual project.

“A lot of children in Alcorn County would not be able to cel-ebrate Christmas without this support,” said the director. “I hope and pray we can get this done.”

Corinth aldermen on Tuesday delayed action on a requested Sawyer Road zon-ing change for apartments that a number of neighbors oppose.

The board voted to table the request to rezone an area described as the Bonds property from an I-2 indus-trial zone to an R-3 multi-family residential zone after hearing comments from a couple of residents during a public hearing on the mat-ter. Offi cials said the owner plans to put apartment units on the property.

“We would like the area to stay just like it is,” said Thomas Holland, a resident of the area since 1965. “We feel like there is enough housing units in that area.”

Pauline Sorrell also told the board she opposes the change along with several of her neighbors. Alderman J.C. Hill said he was also contacted by another neigh-

Corinth School District trustees recently heard updates on con-struction projects and a preview of upcoming legislative issues.

For the softball complex on Proper Street, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Missis-sippi Department of Environ-mental Quality have given clear-ance for the project, and dirt work is expected to begin soon.

The district is looking into how to handle a tie bid for the Corinth Middle School gymna-sium project, which includes re-modeling of the dressing areas.

TL&C Construction submitted a bid of $358,000, while Wor-sham Bros. submitted a bid of $359,000. But TL&C bid exact-ly $1,000 higher than Worsham Bros. on the alternate portion of the project, making it a tie.

The window and door re-placement is in progress at Corinth High School, and the roofi ng project at Corinth Mid-dle School is complete.

Superintendent Lee Chil-dress last week attended a joint Senate-House Education Com-mittee meeting for updates on a variety of education issues.

The legislative budget offi ce

is recommending level school funding for the coming year. With the district seeing an enrollment increase of about 80 students, that would yield a funding increase similar to what the district saw this year.

On charter schools, the Sen-ate proposal would allow local school boards in “A” and “B” districts to say whether or not charter schools can open in their territory.

“The governor has a propos-al that would allow for school choice,” said Childress. “As you know, presently in terms of transfers from one district to

another, the local boards have to approve a transfer and the receiving board has to accept it. This basically would take away that provision, and it would al-low anyone to attend any school that they chose to attend if the receiving district was willing to accept them and if they had space for them.”

The governor is also propos-ing gateway exams in grades three and seven. Students scor-ing minimal or basic in literacy and mathematics on the MCT 2 would fail.

“The research is very clean that if someone cannot read or

does not have a strong under-standing of reading at the end of the third grade that it is go-ing to negatively impact them in terms of graduation, in terms of earning capabilities, in terms of possibly being incarcerated,” said Childress.

The Corinth superintendent has also been involved in work-ing on the new accountability model that is likely to become effective for 2013-2014. He said it will deal with a more com-prehensive look at schools and focus attention on how the bot-tom 25 percent of students are progressing.

and just keep answering.■ Validate your child’s

feelings and recognize your own. “I know it’s hard.” “I don’t under-stand it either.” “It is confusing.” “I know it’s scary.” “I’m mad too.”

■ Monitor exposure to media, TV especially. Repeated messages and especially graphic im-ages become imprinted into our memory and create lasting impres-sions. Those or us who repeatedly saw images of the Twin Towers com-ing down, for example, know that experience. Constantly seeing imag-es of distraught children and parents, plus hear-ing the same verbal mes-sages, serves no purpose and can be harmful.

■ You may need to take a break from the news. One option is to simply listen to the news from a non-visual source and keep it to the basics.

■ Some children may need extra closeness and affection from their safe adults. This may last for quite a while for some children. Other children may not need this as much.

■ Allow children to have any and all feelings about the events. This is a time when children can experience that it’s natural to have a vari-ety of emotions and they can fi nd ways to express those feelings and man-age them.

■ There are many peo-ple who show up to help when sad things happen. Let your child identify some helpers they may think of and fi ll in with others you know about. Let them know there are

always helpers.

Managing Feelings

Whitehurst also pro-vided a list of practi-cal suggestions to help parents in managing a child’s feelings. Anything that moves the experi-ence from inside the child to outside releases stress, she explained.

Things to do:■ Physical activity.

Take a walk with your child, ride bikes, play ball, run, etc. Just as a good walk relieves stress for adults, so does activ-ity for our children. It can be reassuring to the child to do this together, and in the process opportunities to listen may come up.

■ Physical activity is often helpful when chil-dren begin to obsess over events. It’s not only relief, but also welcome distrac-tion and something “nor-mal” to do.

■ Ask your children if they could draw a picture of what they are think-ing or feeling. Provide materials and be open to whatever images arise. Let them tell you about their pictures. You might draw your feelings too.

■ Balance the expres-sion of fear, sadness, loss that children may express with an opportu-nity to also draw a time when the child person-ally felt happy or safe or brave. This reminds them that fear is not all there is.

■ Help your children make a collection of all the feelings they might be having as they come up. This is an opportunity to help children begin to identify their emotions. Draw faces with the feel-ings on them or write them down on sticky

notes and put them in a feelings box. When strong feelings arise, your child can look in the box and pull out the feeling its having and talk about it.

■ Children who are old enough to journal or write poems can write about the tragedy, in whatever way is comfort-able for them. Let them share with you as they want to. Be available.

■ Help your children talk about who the safe people are in their world. Make a list of these peo-ple. Draw pictures of them or collect their pic-tures in some way. This kind of imagery makes it real that there are caring people for them.

■ Some children will need specifi c ideas about safety. Let them talk about what locations are safest in their school and how their school keeps children safe, if they seem to need this. Let the child talk about school person-nel who would protect them. As adults with our own fears about vulner-ability, these conversa-tions may not be easy. Get support for yourself if you need it.

■ Do some role play. Your child can get a chair to be the part of them who’s nervous, mad, sad, etc. and the part of them who’s strong, brave, cre-ative, smart, etc. They can switch from role to role and talk from each place. This allows all of who they are to be ex-pressed and gives each child a chance to manage themselves.

bor who is opposed.A spokesman for the

project said he believes a residential development would be better for prop-erty values in the neigh-borhood than a heavy industry that could come in under the existing zoning.

The planning commis-sion/board of adjust-ment had recommended the change pending sub-

mission of some addi-tional documentation. It is now tabled until the Jan. 2 meeting of the city board.

In other business:■ The board accepted

the certifi ed election re-sults from last week’s special election on liquor sales in Corinth.

■ Aldermen condition-ally approved a request for a drainage easement near the intersection of Harper and Proper sub-

mitted by the Bridge Phillips Elam Concur-rent Drainage Districts.

■ Aldermen approved the police department’s request to submit appli-cation for a grant for the purchase of radio equip-ment.

■ The board approved the street department’s purchase of a mini exca-vator.

■ The board approved a beer license for Raceway at 2700 Hwy. 72 West.

An Alcorn County man turned himself in to au-thorities after learning he was wanted for the sale of a controlled sub-stance.

Local3A • Daily Corinthian Wednesday, December 19, 2012

Robert F. GoadRobert F. Goad was born June 9,

1918 in Adamsville, Tenn., the son of the late Frank Mitchell and Al-ice Icie Barlow Goad.

He was united in marriage to Mary Magdalene Weeks on June 18, 1943. Mrs. Goad preceded him in death on Jan. 20, 2002.

Mr. Goad graduated from A d a m s v i l l e High School in 1938. He enlist-ed in the United States Navy and was trained as a parachute jump-er. He later was assigned to the Marine Corps and served as a

medic in the South Pacifi c Theater, attaining the rank of Chief Phar-macist’s Mate. While in service, he was awarded the Purple Heart and other commendations.

Following his discharge from military service, Mr. Goad worked for the railroad in Denver, Colo-

rado. He returned to Selmer and began working for Pickwick Electric Cooperative as a line-man. Mr. Goad later enrolled in Tennessee Polytechnical Institute in Cookville, graduating with a B. S. Degree in Electrical Engineer-ing. He then returned to Selmer and resumed his work with Pick-wick Electric Cooperative as an Electrical Engineer, where he re-tired after 30+ years of service.

Mr. Goad was a faithful mem-ber of the Fourth Street church of Christ in Selmer, having served the congregation as an Elder and Bible class teacher for many years. He was a dedicated student of the Bible, and had previously served as an interim minister for the Refuge Church of Christ. Mr. Goad enjoyed following the Chi-cago Cubs, having played baseball when he was young. He was an avid gardener and innovator; he enjoyed the challenge of creating solutions that would simplify ev-eryday tasks.

Cutshall Funeral Home — Iuka is in charge of ar-rangements.

SELMER, Tenn. — The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., has brought back the possibility of putting school recourse offi cers in each of the McNairy County Schools.

McNairy County Sher-iff Guy Buck has a plan to present to the McNairy County Commission and the school board in Janu-ary to ask for funding of the project. An estimated cost of the project would be $320,000 annually, ac-cording to the sheriff.

Sheriff Buck said his cost estimation was based on average cost of $40,000 per offi cer with one offi cer at each of the eight schools in the county. This cost would include the cost of a car, uniform, training and other expenses. The sher-iff had brought up the idea of school resource offi cers last year without any suc-cess.

“I’m going before the county commission and school board in January to ask them to help fund the offi cers,” said Buck. “If you ask the people in Newtown if they would spend any amount of money to bring back one of the children, you know they would give everything to get just get one of them back.”

Buck said he believes McNairy County is the only area county in West Ten-nessee without school re-source offi cers.

The sheriff said he has two sayings that apply to this situation “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail,” and “prior proper planning pre-vents poor performance.”

While acknowledging that it is unlikely a similar tragedy would happen in McNairy County, he makes

the point the residents in Newtown would have thought the same thing prior to Friday’s massacre with left 20 children ages 6-7 dead and six adults.

“There is no second chance when something like that happens and you have to prepare a security plan to prevent that from happening here,” said Buck.

Buck recalled a time when no one thought it possible a racecar could plow into a crowd of peo-ple. The county saw that happen when six died dur-ing an accident at Cars for Kids in 2007.

The sheriff made a per-sonal post on the McNairy County Sheriff’s Offi ce page on Facebook that at-tracted a lot of attention, receiving over 700 “likes” in one day.

While the sheriff is the chief law enforcement offi -cer in the county, he is also the father of a fi rst grader and fi fth grader who at-tend schools in McNairy County. He said the New-town tragedy hit close to home when he learned the children killed were fi rst graders.

Buck said the program he envisioned would have three primary functions – security, mentoring the students and education. He felt an offi cer could teach criminal justice in the high schools and about bullying or drug education in the el-ementary schools.

“We would want this of-fi cer to be friendly to build relationships with the stu-dents,” said Buck. “We do not want the students to be scared of offi cers. Our DARE offi cers have seen the students open up to them as they built relation-ships.”

Guest Column

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s focus on im-proving educational outcomes for students is good news.

I applaud his leadership on this issue. While many of his ideas have merit, some will need additional work. Others are prob-lematical.

The governor’s proposals to increase the entry requirements for teachers and to pro-vide scholarships for high achieving students who become teachers are worth consider-ation and debate.

Merit pay for teachers has been discussed for years. In 1989, Governor Ray Mabus pro-posed a form of merit pay in his BEST pro-gram. More recently, the legislature estab-lished a task force to study merit pay along with other issues contributing to our teacher shortage. Governor Bryant has agreed that funding merit pay should not reduce our al-ready low pay for all teachers. The proposal is one the legislature should consider.

Access to quality early childhood education for all students is woefully lacking in Missis-sippi. The governor’s proposal to provide $3 million to the Building Blocks program is a step in the right direction.

The governor’s proposal to end “social pro-motion” by having gateway literacy exams at the end of the 3rd and 7th grades needs a lot of work. While we want all kids to be able to read on grade level, there is data showing that kids who are held back are more likely to drop out of school. We should support the concept while understanding that the issues are com-plex, and the solutions are not simple.

The governor also wants mandatory im-provement plans for high schools with low graduation rates and continued funding for Jobs for Mississippi Graduates, Teach for America, the Mississippi Teacher Corps and career and technical education. All of these programs are laudable.

The governor continues to support a char-ter school bill, but has not provided specifi cs on his proposal. It appears inevitable that a charter bill will pass, and I support the pas-sage of a good charter school bill. However, I sincerely hope the opponents and the sup-porters will work together in crafting the leg-islation. To do this, everybody must be given a seat at the table.

Governor Bryant’s proposal for statewide open enrollment for K-12 does not appear to be feasible. Setting aside the fact that some school districts are under federal desegrega-tion orders, there are innumerable issues in-cluding funding, recruiting for sports, trans-portation and student discipline.

The governor’s most problematical proposal is giving Mississippi taxpayers an income tax credit for donations for scholarships for pri-vate schools. Basically this plan would divert state tax dollars to private schools. A similar “voucher program” was just struck down by the courts in Louisiana. This proposal might violate Mississippi’s constitution and needs to be thoroughly vetted. Florida has a similar tax credit scholarship program, and that state’s own research shows that the kids who get the vouchers and attend private schools perform no better than their counterparts who remain in the traditional public schools.

In short, tax credit scholarships do not im-prove student achievement, and they reduce the tax dollars that are available to traditional public schools.

And fi nally, all of the governor’s proposals cost money. He has included $24 million in new spending on his proposals in his execu-tive budget. We are currently underfunding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) by $260 million.

This year alone, of the 50 school districts that have provided information to the State Department of Education, 20 have raised local property taxes as a result of budget shortfalls. Despite the merit of the governor’s various proposals, it is diffi cult to see how we can fund any of them at a time when we are shortchanging our existing public schools.

Governor’s proposalswill need hefty funding

A verse to share

JACKSON — Democrat Sampson Jackson was a brand new member of the Mississippi Senate in the early 1990s when lawmak-ers embarked on redistrict-ing.

There were only three black senators in the 52-member chamber at the time. More than 35 percent of Mississippi residents were black, and serious ef-forts were under way — by some lawmakers, at least — to increase the number of majority-black districts.

Jackson, who’s from Kemper County, recalls he fussed when mostly black Noxubee County was drawn out of his district. He feared the change would hurt him politically, even if it meant electing an additional black senator.

Democratic Sen. Alice Harden of Jackson, a Legis-lative Black Caucus member with more seniority, fi rmly put Jackson in his place.

“She told me, ‘Shut up and sit down and you’ll be OK,’” Jackson recalled.

He smiles at the memory now, saying he shouldn’t have been surprised that

the longtime e d u c a t o r knew how to be stern. But he was steamed at the time: “I didn’t speak to her for two days.”

H a r d e n died Dec. 6 after a

lengthy illness. She was 64.With her election in 1987,

Harden became the fi rst black woman in the state Senate. Her Jackson col-league, Democratic Rep. Alyce Clarke, had become the fi rst black woman in the Mississippi House only two years earlier.

Harden’s death leaves the Senate with no black women as members now. (Democratic Sen. Barbara Blackmon of Canton was elected in 1991 and served two terms.)

Friends and colleagues remember Harden as an advocate for education and champion of programs she believed would help wom-en, children and people of modest economic means.

“If Alice told me she was going to support something, I didn’t have to worry. I knew she’d do it,” recalled Clarke, who’s still serving in the House, along with sev-eral other black women.

Rep. Esther Harrison, D-Columbus, met Harden about 20 years ago through their work in the Democrat-ic Party. In 1988, Harden was elected to the Demo-cratic National Committee. She held the post 12 years.

“Whatever she was in-volved in, she gave it her very best,” Harrison said.

In 2006, the Missis-sippi House, which then had a Democratic majority, passed a bill that would’ve nearly banned abortion, had it become law. Some male House members ar-gued it would be wrong to force a girl to carry a baby to term if she were raped by her father or uncle. But even after saying that, at least two of the men voted for it.

Harden strongly opposed the measure. She said Mis-sissippi shouldn’t ban most abortions, any more than it should ban other medi-

cal procedures. Harden also said she resented abortion opponents labeling people with her beliefs as “anti-life.”

“I can be pro-life and for choice, but I don’t have to be for this bill,” Harden said.

In early 2011, when Re-publican Lt. Gov. Phil Bry-ant was running for gov-ernor, he said Mississippi shouldn’t have to get federal approval for its redistricting plans. The approval of re-districting and other elec-tion changes is required by the 1965 Voting Rights Act, because of Mississippi’s troubled racial history.

Harden responded that federal oversight is needed.

“It may not be 1965, but there are those who still act as if we are living back in the ’60s,” Harden said. “I would like to think that at some point in our history, that we will get beyond having to submit every-thing that we do as far as voting to the Justice De-partment. But the reality of the situation is, we’re not there — not at this point, we’re not.”

Sen. Harden was unapologetic in beliefs

THOMASVILLE, Ga. — While the rest of the coun-try is shoveling and shiv-ering, South Georgia is at its loveliest. The camellias are blooming, live oaks keep their leaves and trees loaded with bright-orange kumquats and satsumas are exotically common.

I’m not sure if it was pro-voked by the season, the place or the company, but I dreamed about my grand-mother’s house last night. I’ve been told by someone wise never to try to recount your dreams, which are boring to everyone but you. I often ignore wise advice.

Already I was missing my grandmother. That hap-pens a lot during the holi-days, especially when I fi nd myself driving through a landscape so familiar that even the dirt smells right. It doesn’t have to be Georgia; anything along the same latitude will do.

I was here to visit a friend. She lives in a secluded, un-painted and marvelous old family mansion on the road

fl anked by quail plan-tations be-tween Talla-hassee, Fla., and Thomas-ville, perhaps the loveliest of all Georgia towns.

My grand-mother lived

in a small town farther west. The paint on her farmhouse was only a distant memory by the time I came along. The rooms were big and the ceilings high, but that’s about all the place had in common with my friend’s grand house.

But I was, after all, sleep-ing on a South Georgia screen porch in Decem-ber while a dew so heavy it sounded like rain pelted the pines. I was transported.

To me as a child, every-thing about my grand-mother’s house was magi-cal. I loved every nook and cranny. I especially loved December visits, when I could sleep on homemade

fl annel sheets beneath so many quilts it was tough to turn in bed.

There was central heat, of sorts. Each morning my grandmother wrapped me in a blanket and rushed me through unheated rooms to the kitchen, where a pot belly stove was central to all activities.

We ate breakfast on a small kitchen table the color of egg yolks. My grandfather broke the fast in a spectacu-lar meal of several courses. He began with a bowl of ce-real, and progressed to a big plate of grits, sausage and eggs and, on some days, fi sh roe. He slathered his bis-cuits with a jelly made from mayhaws, a swamp berry. This was, of course, before the invention of cholesterol.

I have the yellow table now, and I wonder how all of that food fi t on that sal-tine-size surface.

A cedar branch kept fresh in a saucer of water served as the Christmas tree. It had a string of colored lights and was placed on my grandfa-

ther’s desk in the entry hall.I’ve seen some remark-

able Christmas trees in my six decades, including those in the windows of Paris’ fi n-est department stores and in America’s fancy Biltmore House. I saw one placed in the middle of a downtown Natchez, Miss., street, creat-ing an instant roundabout.

None made as much of an impression as a branch in a saucer in South Georgia.

When I awoke from my dream, I tried to tell my friend about her starring role in it. She was remod-eling my grandmother’s house, yet not changing its character. The pie safe was full in the pantry, and the mantel clock was still keep-ing time.

But I could not fi nd ade-quate words to explain why this was such high honor.

JACKSON — A north Mississippi mayor accused of misusing taxpayer mon-ey on several purchases in-cluding at a Canadian sex shop was indicted Tuesday on one count each of em-bezzlement, false pretense and making fraudulent statements.

Southaven Mayor Greg Davis has been under scrutiny since November 2011, when the Mississippi Auditor’s offi ce told him to repay $170,000 for alleg-edly improper billings, in-cluding travel, food, liquor and one bill for $67 at Pri-ape, described on its web-site as “Canada’s premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop.”

Authorities said Davis has paid back some of

the money, but still owes about $73,000.

The charges in Tues-day’s indictment were related to a car purchase, city gas and a check from a city account. The FBI is also investigating Davis.

The indictment said Da-vis made fraudulent state-ments in February 2009, by claiming to have autho-rization to purchase a car that had been leased by the city. The second count alleges he used city gas in his personal car from

February 2009 to Janu-ary 2010. Count three, the false pretense charge, is related to a $1,000 check paid to Davis from a city account in March 2011.

Davis’ lawyer, Steve Fa-rese, said Tuesday that the mayor will plead not guilty. Farese declined to comment further until he sees the evidence against Davis.

Mississippi Auditor Sta-cey Pickering said during a news conference in Jack-son that the investigation

continues and that Davis was booked and released on a $3,500 bond.

Pickering said Davis or-chestrated the purchase of city car when the lease was up, paying about $11,000 for a vehicle valued at twice that amount. He also had the city reimburse him for an annual contribution to a political action com-mittee that Davis never paid, Pickering said.

After the allegations of improper spending came to light, Davis announced

that he is gay and said he and his wife had divorced. Some of the money that the auditor’s offi ce or-dered Davis to repay had been spent on counseling for Davis’ family.

Davis, a Republican, is in his fourth term as mayor of Southaven, a suburb of Memphis, Tenn., that has grown rapidly in recent years to become Mississip-pi’s third-largest city, after Jackson and Gulfport.

During a hearing in Hinds County in August, when Davis was fi ghting the auditor’s attempts to garnish his wages, the em-battled mayor said he was being “persecuted.”

The Southaven Board of Aldermen voted 6-1 in January on a resolution asking Davis to resign, but the offi cials had no author-

ity under Mississippi law to make him step down.

Alderman George Payne said Tuesday that the situ-ation has been a distrac-tion, but Davis can’t be forced from offi ce unless he is convicted of crime or loses an election.

“Obviously it’s made things diffi cult for the city,” Payne said. “We’re just going to continue to do what we always do, move the city forward. We’re going to try our best to do that.”

Davis served in the state House before he was elected mayor and ran un-successfully for north Mis-sissippi’s 1st District con-gressional seat in 2008. As a legislator and a congres-sional candidate, he talked frequently about being a fi scal conservative.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Newtown returned its stu-dents to their classrooms Tuesday for the fi rst time since last week's massacre and faced the agonizing task of laying others to rest, as this grieving town wrestled with the same is-sues gripping the country: violence, gun control and fi nding a way forward.

Funerals were held for two more of the tiny fall-en, a 6-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl. A total of 26 people were gunned down at Sandy Hook El-ementary School in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S history. The gun-man also killed his moth-er in her home, before committing suicide.

The resumption of classes at all Newtown's schools except Sandy Hook brought a return of familiar routines, some-thing students seemed to welcome as they arrived aboard buses festooned with large green-and-white ribbons — the colors of the stricken elementary school.

“We're going to be able to comfort each other and try and help each other get through this, be-cause that's the only way we're going to do it,” said 17-year-old P.J. Hickey, a senior at Newtown High School. “Nobody can do this alone.”

Still, he noted: “There's going to be no joy in school. It really doesn't feel like Christmas any-more.”

At St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in New-town, back-to-back fu-nerals were held for fi rst-graders James Mat-tioli and Jessica Rekos, the third and fourth so far and the fi rst of eight to be held in the coming days at the church. Memorial ser-vices and wakes were also held for some of the adult victims.

As mourners gathered outside, a motorcade led by police motorcycles ar-rived for the funeral of lit-tle James, who especially loved recess and math and who was described by his family as a “numbers guy” who couldn't wait until he was old enough to order a foot-long Subway sand-wich.

Traffi c in front of the church slowed to a crawl as police directed vehicles into the parking lot. At one point, a school bus carrying elementary stu-dents got stuck in traffi c, and the children, pressing their faces into the win-dows, sadly watched as the mourners assembled.

Inside the church, James' mother stood and remembered her son.

“It was very somber, it was very sad, it was very moving,” said Clare Sava-rese, who taught the boy in preschool and recalled him as “a lovely little boy, a sweet little angel.”

The service had not yet concluded when mourn-ers began arriving for the funeral of Jessica, who loved horses and was counting the years until she turned 10, when her family had promised her a horse of her own. For Christmas, she had asked Santa for new cowgirl boots and hat.

“We are devastated, and our hearts are with the other families who are grieving as we are,” her parents, Rich and Krista Rekos, said in a state-ment.

At a wake for 27-year-old fi rst-grade teacher Victoria Soto, hundreds of mourners, many wear-ing green-and-white rib-bons, stood in a line that wrapped around a funeral home in nearby Stratford, Conn.

“Big smile, great eyes, just a wonderful person,” Lauren Ostrofsky said of Soto, who was killed as she tried to shield her stu-dents from the gunman.

“If anyone could be an example of what a person should be today, it's her.”

Tensions in the shat-tered community ran high as the grief of parents and townspeople collided with the crush of media report-ing on the shootings and the funerals.

Police walked children to parents waiting in cars to protect them from the cameras. Many parents yelled at reporters to leave their children and the town alone.

“Go away!” a man in a tow truck painted with an American fl ag screamed at media across from Haw-ley Elementary School.

At Newtown High School, students in sweat shirts and jackets, many wearing headphones, had mixed reactions. Some waved at or snapped pho-tos of the assembled me-dia horde, while others appeared visibly shaken.

Students said they didn't get much work done Tuesday and spent much of the day talking about the terrible events of last Friday, when 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza, clad all in black, broke into Sandy Hook Elemen-tary and opened fi re on students and staff.

“It's defi nitely better than just sitting at home watching the news,” said sophomore Tate Schwab. “It really hasn't sunk in yet. It feels to me like it hasn't happened.”

As for concerns about safety, some students were defi ant.

“This is where I feel the most at home,” Hickey said. “I feel safer here than anywhere else in the world.”

Still, some parents were apprehensive.

Priscilla and Randy Bock, arriving with their 15-year-old special needs son, James, expressed misgivings. “I was not sure we wanted him go-ing,” Priscilla Bock said. “I'm a mom. I'm anxious.”

Classes resume in Newtown, minus Sandy Hook Elementary

WASHINGTON — Where is the NRA?

The nation's largest gun-rights organization — typi-cally outspoken about its positions even after shoot-ing deaths — has gone all but silent since last week's rampage at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that left 26 people dead, including 20 children.

Its Facebook page has disappeared. It has posted

no tweets. It makes no mention of the shooting on its website. None of its leaders hit the media cir-cuit Sunday to promote its support of the Second Amendment right to bear arms as the nation mourns the latest shooting victims and opens a new debate over gun restrictions. On Monday, the NRA offered no rebuttal as 300 anti-gun protesters marched to its Capitol Hill offi ce.

After previous mass

shootings — such as in Oregon and Wisconsin — the group was quick to both send its condolences and defend gun own-ers' constitutional rights, popular among millions of Americans. There's no in-dication that the National Rifl e Association's silence this time is a signal that a change in its ardent oppo-sition to gun restrictions is imminent. Nor has there been any explanation for its absence from the de-

bate thus far.The NRA, which

claims 4.3 million mem-bers and is based in Northern Virginia, did not return telephone messages Monday seek-ing comment.

Its deep-pocketed ef-forts to oppose gun con-trol laws have proven resilient. Firearms are in a third or more of U.S. households and sus-picion runs deep of an overbearing government whenever it proposes ex-panding federal author-ity. The argument of gun-rights advocates that fi rearm ownership is a bedrock freedom as well as a necessary option for self-defense has proved persuasive enough to dampen political enthu-siasm for substantial change.

A better quarter?

Bed Bath & Beyond’s sales have been growing, thanks partly to its acquisi-tion of Cost Plus and Linen Holdings.

But the house-wares retailer’s expenses have weighed down its earnings, prompting the company to forecast weak third-quarter results, which are due out today. Even so, Wall Street anticipates the company’s latest quarterly report card will trump its results from a year ago.

Today

Housing starts

The annual pace of new resi-dential construction climbed on a monthly basis between August and October.

But economists expect that the Commerce Department will report today that builders broke ground on homes and apart-ments at a slower rate last month. Housing starts are pro-jected to come in at a season-ally adjusted annual rate of 870,000, down about 3 percent from the previous month.

Earnings, economic outlook

When FedEx reports quarterly earnings today, Wall Street will be listening for the company’s outlook on the economy.

Investors pay close attention to forecasts by the world’s No. 2 package delivery company because of the huge number of products it ships and the number of countries in which it does busi-ness. In September, FedEx cut its outlook for global economic growth and slashed its earnings forecast, citing a slowdown in trade. Source: FactSet

For the last several years, Sabrient Systems, an investment research firm in Santa Barbara, Calif., has offered a “Baker’s Dozen” list of 13 top-ranked stocks for the year ahead. The selection is based on quantitative screens as well as a qualitative review, including a forensic accounting analysis of a company’s earnings.

The Baker’s Dozen picks for 2012 are up an average 45 percent compared with the 15 percent climb in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. The biggest winners more than doubled: Ocwen Financial (OCN) is up 144 percent and Western Refining (WNR) is up 131 percent. Just one stock in the group has lost money. Kronos Worldwide (KRO), a maker of titanium chemical

products, is down 7 percent.“Regardless of global political and

military turmoil, there are always undervalued companies that will do quite well,” says David Brown, chief market strategist at Sabrient Systems.

Brown shared a sneek peek at his list for 2013 which will come out in early January. Among the Bakers

Dozen? The private equity firm KKR & Co. (KKR).

“We believe it’s going to be a year of significant corporate

transactions (mergers & acquisi-tions, etc.) for which a company

would hire an investment banker like KKR,” he says. Other key factors: KKR

has more than $5 a share in cash and $3.5 billion a year in operating cash flow.

NEW YORK — Mark San-chez is no longer the New York Jets’ franchise quarter-back.

He might not even be the backup.

Rex Ryan decided to bench Sanchez on Tuesday in favor of Greg McElroy after the fourth-year quarterback had another miserable perfor-mance in a 14-10 loss at Ten-

nessee on Monday night that eliminated New York from playoff contention.

“I think it’s best for our team, and for this game,” Ryan said during a confer-ence call.

So, it’ll be McElroy under center for his fi rst NFL start when the Jets (6-8) play the San Diego Chargers at home Sunday. Ryan hasn’t decid-ed whether Sanchez or Tim

Tebow — listed as the No. 2 quarterback — will be the backup.

While Sanchez blew the second chance Ryan gave him a few weeks ago, Tebow was leapfrogged by a third-string-er, fueling speculation that the team has little confi dence in him as a quarterback.

“I have to look at what I think is the best for the team and not necessarily the indi-

vidual,” Ryan said. “I’ll say this about Tim and I’ve al-ways said it: I know he wants to help this team be successful in the worst way and there’s no doubt about that.”

Sanchez threw four inter-ceptions Monday night and wasn’t able to handle a low snap with the game on the line, ending the Jets’ hopes to

NEW YORK — Winnipeg Jets defenseman Ron Hain-sey is getting antsy. Not only is he anxious to get back to the bargaining table with the NHL, he really wants to be on the ice with his teammates.

Just not at all costs and not without the right deal.

As part of the negotiat-ing committee for the play-ers’ association, Hainsey has kept busy during the lockout by taking part in the ongoing talks with the NHL. But on-going is now a relative term, because nothing has been go-ing on between the sides since talks broke down again last

week, despite the presence of a federal mediator for two days in New Jersey.

“We’ve said it a number of times, but it’s worth repeat-ing: It’s obviously very diffi -cult to make a deal if you’re not meeting or negotiating,” Hainsey told The Associated Press in a telephone inter-

view Tuesday. “I’ve yet to see a way we can do it without sit-ting down across a table from each other.”

Two weeks ago, progress was made during several con-secutive days of negotiations between players and owners

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It must be December because Alabama is preparing for a national title game and Nick Saban’s future is a popular topic.

The second-ranked Crim-son Tide started practicing Tuesday for the BCS cham-pionship game Jan. 7 against

No. 1 Notre Dame with All-America center Barrett Jones on the mend and Saban laughing off rumors about re-turning to the NFL.

“We’re really, really pleased and happy to be here,” the former Miami Dolphins coach said Tuesday after the fi rst bowl practice. “We’ve been able to accomplish a lot.

But like I’ve talked about be-fore, this is a work in progress all the time. You’ve got to stay focused on the process to try to continue to make the next game the most important game, the next season the most important season, de-veloping the team every year.

“We certainly look forward to those challenges. I’m not

sure, regardless of what I say, that anybody believes what I say because I say it all the time. This is what we’re happy doing. This is what we like to do. But nobody really believes that. So, you know, maybe it doesn’t matter. I don’t know what I have to say or do, but it’s kind of funny to me,” he said.

for Sanchez, who received a series of death threats from one dis-gruntled fan on Twitter. League spokesman Greg Aiello said the NFL’s security staff was aware of the man’s threats and was work-ing with the Jets to assist on the matter. The team declined com-ment through a spokesman.

Ryan said after the loss that he wasn’t ready to decide who would start against the Chargers, but told Sanchez he would be making a change at quarterback by going with either McElroy or Tebow.

“He respected my decision,” Ryan said. “That’s not easy, that’s for sure.”

After talking to his staff and members of the organization Tuesday, Ryan chose McElroy.

“This is my opinion, and I do believe that it’s best for our team that Greg is our quarterback,” Ryan insisted.

in New York. The sides disagree on how close they might have moved toward a deal, but a ma-jor breakdown at the end wrecked any hope for a fast solution.

Since then, there’s been no collective bargaining agreement in sight and no talks were planned as of Tuesday afternoon.

“Nothing scheduled at this point,” Hainsey said. “We’ve always said we’re open to sit down and meet any time, and now we’re kind of in a situa-tion where no one wants to make the fi rst move. Maybe there is a way of

doing it. Communication the past couple of days has been quiet. Maybe there is some way to get it started with something similar to what we had (in New York).”

Players’ association executive director Don-

ald Fehr declared then that an agreement was in reach, a notion that was quickly knocked down by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman after the union declined to accept three non-negotiable points. When the offer wasn’t

unconditionally accepted, the league turned down the union’s proposal and withdrew any offers it had made.

“We’ve had a few weeks where we worked all week leading up to Thursday and Friday, and it looks

like we’re gathering mo-mentum, and then had

some setbacks,” the 31-year-old Hainsey said.

When it comes to Camping World TruckSeries resumes, there are few that stand asstrong as Todd Bodine’s. The youngest of theracing Bodine brothers from Chemung, N.Y., has22 career victories, 92 top-five finishes and twochampionships, in 2006 and 2010. He’s only fin-ished out of the top four in points on two occa-sions.

He’s been successful in NASCAR’sNationwide Series as well, winning 15 races andposting 90 top-five finishes. In his full-time sea-sons in Nationwide, he had a runner-up finishin 1997, was third twice and fourth twice. Hisworst finish there was a seventh in 1991, hisfirst full season.

Along the way he also made 241 Sprint Cupstarts, mostly in inferior equipment, but he stillmanaged seven top-five finishes and five poles.

But with the 2013 season just around the cor-ner, the 48-year-old brother of retired Cup driv-ers Geoffrey and Brett Bodine finds himselfwithout a ride. As Bodine explains, driving tal-ent alone is no longer enough to ensure employ-ment. In today’s NASCAR a driver also has tobe able to bring along the funding to supportthe race team.

“The days of getting a job on your skills areover,” Bodine said. “If you’ve got the money,teams will take you.”

Indeed, the Red Horse Racing team that field-ed trucks for Bodine in 2012 has idled his crewbut has assigned one of its trucks to John WesTownley, who has the backing of his family’sZaxby’s restaurant team.

But Bodine isn’t sitting idly by, hoping thecurrent culture of Truck Series racing willchange. He and his wife Janet, especially Janet,are working full-time trying to secure sponsor-ship.

“She’s been working on it every day for a

year,” Bodine said, adding that interest frompotential sponsors has picked up in recentweeks, but there’s no contract yet signed. “Thereare some really good companies that we’re talk-ing to. We’re taking steps, but it takes time. Bigcorporations don’t work in the same time framethat race teams do. There are budgets to consid-er, and things like that.”

In one respect, time is still on Bodine’s side.The Truck Series opens its season on Feb. 22 atDaytona, then is idle for six weeks. He figuresthat if no sponsor is on board by Daytona, he’llmake the season opener some way or another,then have another break to focus on securingsponsorship before the Kroger 250 atMartinsville Speedway on April 6.

Bodine said it takes about $60,000 per race tofield a truck, not counting the overhead at theshop, salaries and other costs. Sponsors general-ly would have to kick in between $80,000-$130,000 per race to have a competitive team,he said.

Bodine would like to return with the RedHorse team, and he’d like to stay with Toyota,but he said he’s open to any offers, including aride in the Nationwide Series.

“But so far, all we’ve pitched to sponsors istrucks,” he said.

Despite the situation, Bodine sounds upbeatabout the future.

“I’ve been through this kind of thing before,”he said. “But it’s the first time my wife’s had togo through it. She’s struggling with it some, butshe’s also working from 8 to 8 on sponsorship.”

NOTEBOOKShortened tests still revealing

Rain cut short the second and final day oftesting of the 2013 Sprint Cup cars at CharlotteMotor Speedway last week, but Kasey Kahne inthe No. 5 Chevrolet from Hendrick Motorsportsdid manage to turn a lap at 193.771 miles perhour. That was a tick faster than the trackrecord of 193.708 mph set by Greg Biffle inOctober.

“It felt fast, and I knew where my throttlewas, so I knew it was as fast as I have everbeen around this track,” Kahne said. “I justthink this car goes around the corner quicker.”

The speeds have many in the sport speculat-ing that NASCAR officials will make changes toslow the cars before the start of the season.

Bobby Labonte said his single-car No. 47Toyota team, led by crew chief Brian Burns,made progress at the test.

“There are a lot of little things we are tryingto figure out on the new car,” he said. “There aredifferent nuisances we didn’t have with theother car. The rear camber issue; we’re just try-ing to get it all figured out.

“This is the only car we have. So, we will go tothe wind tunnel with it when we leave here andlearn as much as we can. The biggest differenceis the back of the car with the camber. With morecamber in it, it’s more secure back to the throttlethan what I was used to having last year.”

Aric Almirola, driver of the No. 43 for RichardPetty Motorsports, said he made some laps dur-ing the test, and focused on things like fuelmileage instead of pure speed. And he said itstill was helpful to get some laps in the new car.

Additional testing of the redesigned car is setfor Jan. 10-12 at Daytona InternationalSpeedway and at Charlotte on Jan. 17-18.

Drivers return from USO tour Sprint Cup driver Joey Logano and two-time

and reigning Nationwide Series championRicky Stenhouse Jr. are back from a USO-backed trip to visit troops stationed in theMiddle East and in Germany.

The two visited six installations in the secondsuch trip for Logano and the first for Stenhouse.

“We had the chance to meet some amazingmen and women on our USO tour,” Logano toldreporters. “I have so much respect for our troops;they do their jobs day in and day out withoutcomplaint and are always giving it their all.

“We are lucky to have these men and womenserving and protecting our country, and I can’tthank them enough for all that they do.”

Said Stenhouse: “My first USO tour was anamazing experience. It was an honor to meetour troops and see them in action.

“The service and sacrifice of these men andwomen and their families are inspiring, and Ihave nothing but admiration and gratitude forwhat they do for our country.”

Scott to helm Childress’No. 2After a rather lack-

luster year drivingthe No. 11 Toyota inthe NationwideSeries for Joe GibbsRacing, Brian Scott ismoving to RichardChildress Racing todrive the No. 2Chevrolet that wasvacated by ElliottSadler, who is mov-ing to Gibbs’ team.

Scott, a 24-year-olddriver from Boise, Idaho, had two top-five and11 top-10 finishes in 2012, but did not finishseven races en route to a ninth-place points fin-ish.

His bright spot for the season was a win inthe season-ending Camping World Truck Seriesrace at Homestead-Miami Speedway drivingthe No. 18 Toyota fielded by his then-Gibbsteammate Kyle Busch.

Phil Gould, the car chief for the No. 2 Chevythis past season, has been promoted to the crewchief position.

Brad Keselowski unofficially began thedefense of his Sprint Cup champi-onship last week during a test session

at Charlotte Motor Speedway.The reigning champion is in a rather

unique position, as he’s starting out with anew manufacturer, Ford, replacing the Dodgehe drove to the 2012 title, and he has a newteammate in Joey Logano.

Dodge dropped out of NASCAR afterKeselowski’s Penske Racing teamannounced in mid-season that it was switch-ing to Ford. Logano left his longtimeemployer, Joe Gibbs Racing, to take over theNo. 22 at Penske from temporary driverSam Hornish Jr.

A.J. Allmendinger started the 2012 seasonin the No. 22, but lost the ride after failing adrug test.

Keselowski told reporters at Charlottethat it’s a little too soon to say how the newFord Fusion will compare to the DodgeCharger he drove to the title.

“It’s hard to get a great read on the wholemanufacturer change because, obviously, it’sa different car, but I think all the signs arethere that we have the potential to be just asstrong, if not stronger, than we were lastyear, which is very, very encouraging,” hesaid. “We still have to work for it and makeit happen, but the signs are there.”

He also sounded positive about Logano.“It’s been a lot of fun having the first day

today working with Joey, which I think hasbeen probably more of an adjusting processthan the actual car itself, and a good adjust-ing process. I’m curious to see over time howwe can work together and push each other tobe the best we can be.

“I’ve had a lot of fun with that so far.We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Keselowski said the early signs indicatethat the affiliation with Ford will pay divi-dends.

“I think the level of engagement from theFord camp is very, very high, which isextremely encouraging and that’s from thetop on down,” he said. “That makes me feelmore confident than anything else becauseat the end of the day, this is a people sport.You look at the cars and you look at the aeroor whatever it might take to be the best youcan be, and those things tend to work them-selves out when you have the best people,and when you have people that are engagedand all are sharing a common goal and workethic.”

Keselowski also said he believes that hecan learn from Logano, even though he hasjust two Sprint Cup wins to Keselowski’s

nine and has never finished better than 16thin the points standings.

“I feel like there are a lot of areas that Ican improve and be better, and I think thereare things Joey does right out of the gatethat are better than what I do,” Keselowskisaid. “I think he has the ability to unload ata place like [Charlotte Motor Speedway] andjust instantly be fast, and that’s not mystyle.

“It’s something that I would like to add tomy arsenal because there are times wherethat’s really, really helpful, so those are someof the things I look at.”

The reigning champ went on to say thathe plans to put teamwork and hard workahead of wearing his champion’s hat nextseason.

“I think that Joey is an elite talent in thissport, and if we can work together that wewill both be better,” he said. “I would ratherfinish second to him next year in every raceand even the championship, than to rest onmy laurels, not get any better and the wholefield does, and run fifth, 10th, 15th, 17th –whatever it might be – and beat him. Ithink it’s that spirit that is going to drive usto be the best we can.”

Keselowski also said he hopes to keep hiscrew motivated in 2013, not letting themrest on their championship accomplish-ments. He said the switch to a new manufac-turer can help with that.

“One of the best advantages of switchingto Ford is it gives us something to prove allover again, that we can continue to be suc-cessful no matter what the manufacturer orno matter what the circumstance is and Ithink that’s very healthy,” he said.

One of the easiest ways to add tropical fl air to any landscape is to use plants with large leaves. Rice pa-per plant is a favorite of mine that looks amazing as a component of many landscapes.

Rice paper plant is a native of southern China and Taiwan and is known botanically as Tetrapanax paperifera. Interestingly, this is the only plant in the genus. The name re-fers to the use of the in-terior of the stem, called pith, to make a form of rice paper.

This pith has the con-sistency and feel of plastic foam.

The foliage really cre-ates the tropical interest. Rice paper plant has huge leaves that can be up to 15 inches across. The leaves have fi ve to 11 coarse lobes, and the undersides have a dense, white, felt-like texture. The fan-like leaves are attached by very long petioles toward the ends of stems that grow very upright.

These characteristics create a visual fan-like or umbrella-like appear-ance.

The plant blooms in the fall with conspicu-ous fl ower panicles that can be three feet long and more than three feet wide. These panicles are displayed above the plant foliage. The fl owers are grouped in smaller clus-ters that are ball-shaped. The fl owers have what I

would de-scribe as a savory a r o m a . They at-tract many i n s e c t s l o o k i n g for a late-s e a s o n feeding.

Rice pa-per plant

will form thickets, similar to its distant relative Dev-il’s Walking Stick, if left undisturbed. The plants readily spread by un-derground stems called rhizomes. New plants will spring up at vari-ous points along these rhizomes. The new little plants will leave a trail in the direction in which the rhizome is growing.

New plants can pop up 20 feet away from the original plant, and it’s not uncommon for new rice paper plants to begin to grow in the lawn and oth-er areas. Any unwanted plants are called suckers and can be pruned off. Treating the cut end of the rhizome with an her-bicide, such as Roundup, will slow down the rhi-zome’s outward spread.

In Mississippi, rice paper plant has the po-tential to reach 15 feet in height. The plant will die back in the winter, de-pending on the tempera-ture. In light frosts and freezes, the stem may die back a couple of feet.

Extreme cold can cause

dieback to the ground. Treat this plant like many of our other perennials and provide cold weather protection pertinent to your area.

are ball-shaped. The flowers have what I would describe as a savory aroma. They attract many insects looking for a late-season feeding.

“Nobody needs a cook-book if they have a com-puter.”

That’s James Shults’ phi-losophy nowadays.

“When I decide I want to cook something, I just

g o o g l e w h a t e v e r and get lots of reci-pes. I read through un-til I fi nd one I like and have the in-gredients.”

He add-ed, “You’d be surprised

at how many different ways there are to fi x potatoes.”

Even with the computer, he still likes browsing cook-books and swapping reci-pes.

After graduating Farm-ington High School, like many young men at that time, James went “up North” where jobs were plentiful. After retiring from General Electric in Decatur, Ala. several years ago, he and wife Doris moved back to the Corinth area. The couple will soon be celebrating their 50-year anniversary together.

His job as chief cook began in 2005 when Lois was diagnosed with can-cer, then had heart surgery within a year.

Now James does all the cooking, which is fi ne with Lois. The only time she feels she has to cook is when their younger son visits and wants his Momma’s Beef, Rice and Gravy.

Members of Farmington Baptist Church, the couple likes to eat out especially on Wednesday and Sunday

nights with fellow Sunday School members. James can also be found social-izing at Jack’s Restaurant almost every morning for breakfast and Lois joins the crowd on Mondays and Fri-days when there are more women.

James and Lois like to travel. In fact, they will be fl ying to California to spend Christmas with a son and his family.

Even though he won’t be in his own kitchen prepar-ing the holiday meal, James said, “I’ll probably end up cooking something. I usu-ally do.”

When asked what is his favorite thing to cook, he replied, “Banana Nut Bread. I try to keep loaves baked because when I go somewhere -- to a friend’s house or to a get-together, I

like to take something. And everyone seems to enjoy my Banana Nut Bread.”

Other desserts he’s noted for and are frequently re-quested at church socials and family reunions are peanut brittle, pecan pie and chess squares.

His chess squares are to die for! This recipe was passed along by Carolyn Helton, who told him she got it from an old Farm-ington Church cookbook submitted by the late Irma Taylor.

James shares his favor-ite dessert recipes plus one for delicious, but easy Taco Soup. Enjoy!

Among other things, the holidays are a time of giving and receiving gifts.

The question most of-ten asked of people is, “What did you get?” Much less frequently asked is, “What did you give?” In-variably, the inquiries concern material gifts. Purchasing a gift can cer-tainly be thoughtful and a wonderful gesture, espe-cially when it’s backed up by your actions.

However, the most valuable presents are those that aren’t sold in stores. When you give your love, your time, help someone in need, aid an-other in solving a prob-lem or overcoming an obstacle, you give some-thing priceless.

The true spirit of the holidays is giving. When you give, you receive. You can get anything in life you want by helping enough others get what they want. But only if you give with-out expecting anything in return. The impact of giving isn’t limited to just

the holiday season, it’s something that has value all year.

The pow-er of giv-ing is often u n d e r e s -t i m a t e d . When you give un-

conditionally, you don’t just impact the recipient; you start a chain reaction. By brightening the life of one person you also affect all those who they then touch.

No gesture of giving or kindness is too small. Holding the door open at a store, helping someone carry groceries to their car, letting another car in front of you, saying please and thank you, and say-ing hello to a stranger you pass on the sidewalk, are

some of the many things you can do daily.

For family and friends, your time is one of the most precious gifts you can offer. Are you there for others when they need you? Do you offer a hand without being asked? Do you help out when asked?

Too often, people get caught up in their own desires, thus losing sight of the needs of others. A person who tries to get through life by looking

out for himself or herself fi rst is invariably frus-trated. Often this person views life as a competition to determine who can ac-cumulate more.

On the other hand, those who are concerned for the well being of oth-ers are happier, more content, and more satis-fi ed. By giving without expecting, they in turn receive the things they need.

Giving is a simple con-cept that works every time it is applied. There will be people who don’t appreciate what you do, but it doesn’t matter. You are giving without anticipating anything in return. Besides, there will be many more who are thankful for your efforts.

If you don’t treat others well, buying a gift won’t compensate for your be-havior. The recipient might like what you give them but it won’t make up for your actions. You can’t bribe someone to forgive the way you treat them with a present.

The best gift you can receive is the joy of mak-ing someone else happy. Being unselfi sh is a won-derful way to live. When you give with no ulterior motives, your actions are seen as genuine. Should

you expect something in return, your behavior is always suspect. We all know people who do nice things only when they want something in re-turn.

Make giving a daily rou-tine. Don’t start and end with the holiday season. Every day is a good day to do something nice. When people feel good due to your actions, you can’t help but feel happy your-self. And that is priceless. The most signifi cant ac-tion you can take is hav-ing a positive impact on the lives of others.

Misinformed individu-als claiming to be well informed often predict the end of time. Since the beginning of recorded history, countless proph-ecies have been made about some sort of world-ending cataclysm.

When these catastro-phes don’t happen, an-other end-time sooth-sayer comes forth with another augury.

One of these end-time prophets was Christo-pher Columbus. Some of his early 16th century writings indicate he was convinced his New World discoveries had already been prophesied, and fu-ture events in these lands would precipitate Arma-geddon — most likely an-other Great Flood similar to the one that wiped out

mankind in Noah’s time.Then, early 20th centu-

ry German scholar Ernst Forstemann provided what he felt was indis-putable evidence that, as Columbus speculated, the world would end with a Great Flood. He based his claim on the Dresden Codex, an ancient Maya compilation that is the oldest book written in the Americas.

In it are astronomical tables that have proven

to be surprisingly accu-rate. “On the last page of the manuscript, is de-picted the destruction of the world. Here, in-deed, is portrayed with a graphic touch the fi nal all-engulfi ng cataclysm,” Forstemann said.

But, as American as-tronomer Carl Sagan said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” Predictably, a whole new set of proph-ets proclaims it has ample

extraordinary evidence in support of the so-called 2012 phenomenon. They profess to be eschatolo-gists, those who interpret that part of theology con-cerned with death, judg-ment and the fi nal destiny of humankind.

According to these pseudo-scientists, Planet Earth will experience a cataclysmic event on Dec. 21, 2012, or 12-21-12, and cease to exist. They base the prediction on what is called the Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar, prepared by Maya scribes thousands of years ago, which confi rms 12-21-12 as the end date of one of the calendar’s 5,125-year-long Great Cycles.

American archeologist and anthropologist Mi-chael Coe gave credence to this prediction by stat-ing, “There is a sugges-

tion … that Armageddon would overtake the de-generate peoples of the world … our present uni-verse will be annihilated … when the Great Cycle of the Long Count reaches completion.”

Unlike usual calendars, the Long Count calendar does not repeat itself, but has progressed in linear fashion since Aug. 11, 3114 B.C., the supposed date on which the fourth world, populated by hu-man beings, was created. (Mayan literature claims the gods had created three failed worlds prior to this date and had de-stroyed them.)

Among the numerous speculations as to how the world will be destroyed, two get the most atten-tion: a solar maximum and collision with Planet Nibiru. Solar maximums

take place at a certain point in the sun’s 11-year cycle during which solar activity maximizes. Ni-biru is supposedly a huge, planet-sized object hur-tling through space di-rectly toward Earth. Even if the two celestial bodies don’t collide, the phony prognosticators claim a near miss will cause a pole shift, thereby annihilating all living things, including humanity.

To all these predictions, I answer: Bunk! Chris-tians will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ … four days after 12-21-12.

In this season of unpredict-ably bad weather, I recently surveyed my kitchen and found that, while I was well xed for canned beans, I had only a rind of Parmesan cheese and about a cup left of olive oil (which, barring a Hanukkah miracle, wasn’t going to keep me going for long).

Thankfully, I never lost power but I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’m going to keep on hand for next time.

Here’s a list of the essentials: Parmesan cheese: Cheese,

wrote public intellectual Clifton Fadiman, is “milk’s leap toward immortality.”

The whole point of cheese is to extend milk’s shelf life, and while we in America tend to refrigerate it, it will not go bad at room temperature. (Should mold appear, just slice it away; mold cannot penetrate the inte-rior of cheese because it needs air to grow.) Hard cheeses such as Parmesan, Manchego and especially pecorino have the added bene t of being extremely salty — further dis-couraging spoilage.

Nuts: Nutritious, delicious, lling, versatile. I believe I

could live for weeks on nuts. I usually keep a few bags of almonds and/or walnuts on hand.

Crackers: Bread can last a few days; crackers last much longer. I

have a strange fondness for crackers that have more in common with building materi-als than food (that’s you, Finn Crisps and Wasa crackers), but when I’m feeling anxious, clas-sics like Saltines and Uneeda Biscuits hit the spot.

Canned beans: I always like to have a few cans of cannellini beans, black beans and chick-peas on hand so that I can veer off into Italian, Latin-American or Middle Eastern directions. Or make an international three-bean salad.

Onions, lemons, garlic: None of these fresh products require refrigeration, and they can all be counted on to add immeasurable zest to whatever you’re whipping up.

Peanut butter substitute: I happen not to like peanut but-ter, but tahini (sesame paste) and Nutella are both protein-rich shelf-stable spreads. Stir some tahini into mashed beans, and you’ve got hummus; use it to give a twist to canned tuna. Smear Nutella on a cracker and call it dessert.

Canned sh: In addition to the regular, water-packed stuff, it’s nice to have a jar or two of fancy, imported oil-packed tuna — for special emergency situations such as a blackout anniversary dinner. Canned salmon and, for the stout of heart, sardines are an interest-ing change of pace.

Add a mashed, jarred an-chovy to almost anything to subtly deepen the avor.

Olive oil and vinegar: A glug of extra-virgin olive oil and/or a splash of good wine vinegar elevate most foods.

The truth is that even when there’s no weather emergency, the preceding list of foods will put you well on your way to al-ways having dinner. Add pasta, canned tomatoes, eggs, butter and parsley, and you’re ready for company.

Cocktail meatballs with cranberry marinara make a solid appetizer for Christmas or New Year’s parties.

Sometimes failure can end up tasting pretty good. It certainly was the case with

these meatballs.I’d been aiming to creating

a solidly delicious, all-purpose meatball suitable for tossing with marinara over spaghetti. Except it didn’t quite work out that way. The meatballs, while certainly delicious, were both too tangy and too sweet to pair with your basic pasta sauce.

So I tried them in a curry

sauce. Indian food is particularly welcoming to that play of sweet and heat, tangy and savory. But that wasn’t quite right, either.

I was resistant to changing the meatballs themselves. Because while they didn’t partner well with anything I’d tried, I still thought they were good. And they certainly were worth salvag-ing. Then it hit me. Embrace the tangy, sweet-and-savory side of these meatballs. Turn them into party food.

And so I ended up with these cocktail meatballs, perfect for setting out with toothpicks for a holiday gathering. And it turned out the sauce couldn’t have been simpler — tomatoes and cran-berry sauce.

Cocktail meatballs with cranberry marinara

jalapeno slices3 cloves garlic, minced2 teaspoons fennel seeds2 teaspoon dried oregano1 teaspoon onion powder1⁄2 teaspoon dried red pepper

cent lean)14-ounce can whole berry

cranberry sauce15-ounce can diced tomatoesSplash of hot sauce

Heat the oven to 425 F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cook-ing spray.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cilantro, jalapenos, garlic, fennel, oregano, onion powder,

red pepper akes, 2 teaspoons of salt and 12 teaspoon of pep-per. Whisk until well combined. Add the ground beef, then mix gently until completely blended. Divide the mixture into 50 balls, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per ball. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared bak-ing sheet.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the meatballs for 20 minutes. Increase heat to broil and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry sauce and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.

When the meatballs are done, arrange on a platter, then spoon the cranberry mixture over them. Serve with toothpicks.

When it comes to food, “re-cooked” isn’t generally a term met with much affection. The dairy world, however, gives us a ne exception in ricotta cheese.

Ricotta — Italian for recooked — isn’t exactly a stranger to most Americans, who tend to love it in their lasagna and stuffed pasta shells. But as cheeses go, its versatility is vastly underappreci-ated, mostly because few people realize how it’s made, or why that matters for how they use it.

So let’s start there. Ricotta got its name because it is made liter-ally by recooking the liquid left over from making other cheese, often mozzarella. This is pos-sible because when the mozza-rella or other cheeses are made, most but not all of the protein is removed from the liquid, usually cow’s milk.

That leftover protein can be recooked and coagulated using a different process. The result is a soft, granular cheese with a tex-ture somewhere between yogurt and cottage cheese. The taste is mild, milky, salty and slightly acidic.

In Italy, there are many variet-

ies of ricotta, including smoked and baked. In the U.S., most grocers carry only the more per-ishable soft, moist variety sold in tubs.

So, what should you do with it? You know it’s great with pas-

ta, but it also pairs wonderfully with that other Italian import — pizza! Top a red or white pizza with mounds of ricotta and bake as you normally would.

Fill overturned portobello mushroom caps with ricotta

mixed with chopped fresh herbs and garlic, then grill over me-dium heat until the bottoms are browned and the cheese is hot.

Spike ricotta with honey and cinnamon, then layer in wide glasses with fresh berries for a parfait.

Cut slits into boneless, skin-less chicken breasts, then spoon herbed ricotta into the center. Dredge the stuffed chicken breasts through egg, our and panko breadcrumbs, then bake.

In a blender, combine the ricotta, eggs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Blend until very smooth. Stir the crab meat into the egg mixture.

Carefully spoon a bit of the mixture into each lo cup, lling each about three-quarters full.

Sprinkle a bit of Parmesan over each cup, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the lling is set and starting to brown.

The quiche bites can be served hot, room temperature or chilled.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 31-year-old, never-mar-ried mother of two. Last summer I started having an affair with “Jordan,” the father of my fi rst child. He left me when our daughter was a year old and has been engaged for three years in an on-again, off-again relationship.

I could give you excus-es about why the affair started up again, but the truth is we both knew it was wrong and continued to do it anyway. I never stopped loving him and I thought it would bring him back to me.

Today I found out from Jordan’s fi ancee that they have set their wedding date for next spring. She said they would like for me to come. As if it wouldn’t

be painful enough to go to the wedding, his fi ancee has also asked me to do her hair for the occa-sion. (I’m a hairstyl-

ist.)Abby, Jordan and I

are still having an affair. I want to tell her, but I don’t want him to hate me. I believe this wedding is a big mistake for many reasons, not just the obvi-ous. Please give me some outside advice. — CAN’T HELP MYSELF IN OHIO

DEAR CAN’T HELP YOURSELF: OK, the

fi rst thing to do is wake up, smell the coffee and accept that resuming the sexual relationship with Jordan has not had the desired ef-fect. He will be marrying someone else.

Next, concentrate on saving yourself and waste no more of your time on him — that is, if you would like a permanent, monog-amous relationship with someone. Jordan has giv-en you ample proof that he is incapable of being faith-ful to one woman.

And last, tell his fi ancee that you do not plan to at-tend the wedding or do her hair because you are in love with Jordan and have been sleeping with him since last summer.

DEAR ABBY: I have known my husband for

seven years and I love him very much, but I am no longer “in love” with him. Somehow along the way the spark has fi zzled.

We have a wonder-ful family and have been through so much together. I don’t want a divorce. I want to make our mar-riage work, and so does he. So how do I get my spark back? — SPARK-LESS IN TEXAS

DEAR SPARKLESS: That you and your hus-band want your marriage to work means it is capa-ble of being resuscitated. While you didn’t give any details, it is possible that you have been “through so much” that it didn’t allow you to concentrate on each other. Exhaustion and dis-traction can cause a spark

to fi zzle.A way to reignite it

would be to spend more time alone together, par-ticipate in activities you both enjoy, and make time on a regular basis to talk, relax and touch each oth-er. And if necessary, enlist the services of a licensed marriage counselor.

DEAR ABBY: My sis-ter relinquished custody of her kids in a divorce 30 years ago. I recently made contact with them to re-establish lost ties. The contact I made with the daughter has been a wonderful success. The other resulted in complete — and understandable — rejection.

Now my sister, who didn’t want to open the door, blames me for her

heartache because her son rejected her. Was I wrong for bringing at least one of them back into the fam-ily? — SISTER IN THE SOUTH

DEAR SISTER: Be-cause you did it over your sister’s objections, I think you were. While the daughter seems interested in establishing contact — at least for now — your sis-ter has now “lost” her son twice. And if the daughter eventually backs off, your sister will be zero for two.

Horoscopes

Woman deep in love triangle has trouble thinking straight

By defi nition, extenu-ating circumstances are uncommon enough to warrant a special pardon or reduced punishment. If someone needs such a pardon regularly, the problem is perhaps the extenuator and not the circumstance. Venus trine to Uranus favors taking a risk. Note that taking a risk is not the same thing as taking advantage.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may still be expe-riencing the echoes of a past hurt. But like all re-verberations, the signal bounces around, losing impact with each surface it encounters. A faint whis-per and then it’s gone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People under-estimate the benefi t of a pleasant personality. Those who can make you smile just because they seem to be enjoying them-selves need a larger role in your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What seems cute on a

fi rst date might not bring the same warm feeling a few years later. Similarly, what was odd to you many years ago is now such a fi xture in your daily life that you’ll be surprised if anyone reacts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do not rush the getting-to-know-you process. Whether in busi-ness, friendship or love, it will be important to get into relationships slowly enough to note and react to each piece of learning along the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone will add fuel to your fi re, probably by making you mad. You’ll set a new goal and then knock yourself out to meet and surpass it, regardless of the challenge involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Similar to how night dreaming can lead to a deeper sleep, daydream-ing can lead to a deeper experience of your waking life. You’ll realize some-thing you want and start envisioning scenarios to

take you there.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.

23). People are depending on you, which is a big part of what keeps you mov-ing at such a high level of intensity. You become stronger and more trust-worthy with every deliv-ered promise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll soon pon-der whether old acquain-tances should “be forgot.” Today it’s lucky to make efforts to ensure they are not. New business and personal contacts come out of your old address book.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An irrespon-sible leader is an oxymo-ron. The one in charge contributes directly to the outcome and will be held accountable. The leader will take the heat of the blame or the warmth of the applause.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve put a lot out into the world in the past few weeks, and now you may be feeling

spread thin. Long over-due dividends arrive in the evening. It will feel wonderful to fi nally hold what’s yours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Do what it takes to bring a relationship back into harmonious bal-ance. With your personal life settled, you can get into professional matters with renewed focus.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to have a Mensa-meriting IQ to know peo-ple or, more importantly, to know yourself. You’ll remain the smartest per-son in the room as you assess the social dynamic and determine your role.

TODAY’S BIRTH-DAY (Dec. 19). You’ll amaze friends and fam-ily this year with the new ways in which you present yourself and your work. This will be a slow unfold-ing. In the next six weeks, you’ll work intently on your inner world. Then February brings new con-nections and practices.

You’ll cash in on an invest-ment in May. June brings your showcase. Virgo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 10, 37 and 12.

CELEBRITY PRO-FILES: Mindfreak ma-gician Criss Angel has been called a visionary of modern magic and a dominant force in the world of illusion. His col-laboration with Cirque du Soleil for “Believe” is a

top Vegas attraction. The magician was born when the sun and communica-tive Mercury were in pas-sionate Sagittarius and Venus (love) and Neptune (imagination) were in the mysterious station of Scorpio.
