An employee of the store is one of three people charged in robbery of the Dollar General on Shiloh Road late Saturday.

Jessica Paige Smith, 33, of Highway 57, Ramer, Tenn., was charged on Sunday with con-spiracy to commit armed rob-bery for her role in the setup. She was released on Monday after posting $5,000 bond.

Charged with armed rob-bery are George Atkins Jr., 31, of Purdy Road, Selmer, Tenn.,

and Paul Allen Downer, 24, of Purdy Road, Selmer, Tenn. Both were jailed in McNairy County.

Detective Capt. Ralph Dance said the robbery happened around 10 p.m. Saturday while Smith, the store clerk, was kneeling in front of the open store safe. A man wearing a black ski mask and brandishing a handgun entered the store, approached the clerk and left with cash from the safe.

“He was out the door within just a few seconds,” said Dance.

Dollar General’s internal in-vestigation and the police de-partment investigation found the story suspicious when com-paring it to the surveillance vid-eo footage. Dance said Smith admitted her involvement and gave up the name of an ac-complice, Atkins, with whom she set up the robbery. The in-vestigation found that the two exchanged text messages on Saturday about when and how someone should come into the store and rob her.

McNairy County law enforce-

ment picked up Atkins, who identifi ed Downer as another accomplice. He was the man who came into the store and is apparently not acquainted with Smith.

Some of the money, which the three had split among them-selves, has been recovered.

“She gave back a portion that had not been spent,” said Dance.

He said the men are being held in McNairy County on an-other Dollar General robbery that occurred in that county.

Corinth Civitan Club President Dr. Mike Weeden helps a youngster make the right choice during the annual shopping spree sponsored by the civic club.

The Corinth Civitan Club got in its last-minute shopping.

Members of the civic club weren’t checking off things from their own list. A total of 15 mem-bers were lending a hand to help make Christmas brighter for 12 children during an annual shop-ping spree at Belk.

“Giving is what every civic club should be about,” said club president Dr. Mike Weeden.

“Today is our most exciting day … we look forward to it every year.”

The Civitans use money col-lected from their fundraisers throughout the year to help youngsters have a better Christ-mas. Six kindergarten or fi rst grade students from Corinth and Kossuth elementary schools took part in the spree on Dec. 18.

“This is why I am willing to do all the fundraisers the club does,” said member Rick Mill-

er as the youngsters shopped. “This is what Christmas is all about … seeing the joy of these kids and how they light up.”

The Civitan Club treated the children to lunch at The Din-ner Bell. Santa Claus showed up following the meal to present each child a bag of toys. After the spree at Belk, the youngsters were taken to Joe’s for a pair of shoes.

For William McMullin, working in Corinth has truly been a labor of love.

He is a man of considerable complexity and depth. For over 30 years, McMullin has served his community in some form or fashion.

“I am not an artist, but I try and support the arts,” McMul-lin explained.

As a member of the Corinth Music Club, he has helped pro-mote music in the area and given the public the oppor-tunity to experience classical and pop music at no cost. His enthusiasm was contagious as he related his experiences with Corinth Theatre-Arts.

“I played Dr. Watson in their production of ‘The Hound of the Basker-villes’,” said McMullin. “I also was in a quartet for ‘Music Man’.”

Though he no longer performs, he admitted that he certainly enjoyed the experience.

McMullin is also fond of story telling. As part of LINKS architectural tour, he donned a top hat and dressed in 1850’s style attire in order to transport the 4th, 5th and 6th grade students he entertained and to provide them with an ac-curate sense of what life was like back then. On the tour, the date of each building was refl ected by the costume of the tour guide. McMullin stood in

front of Waldron Street Church and captivated audiences with his color-ful and interesting tales.

An avid fan of litera-ture, music, art, history and theatre, he expressed his excitement over “A Hollow Crown”, a new modern Shakespeare se-ries that had just arrived at the library.

“You can’t get it just yet,” McMullin added. “I have it checked out,” mused the director of the Northeast Regional library.

A pianist for 25 years at Waldron Street Bap-tist Church, he has en-joyed playing for his fel-low church members. He also sings in the choir and at times, has direct-ed it. McMullin earned his Master’s degree in Li-brary Science from Loui-

siana State University and moved to Corinth to accept a job at the Corinth Library where he has worked for 38 years.

In 2005, McMullin be-came the director of the library and oversees 13 branches in four coun-ties: Alcorn, Prentiss, Tippah and Tishomingo.

He described himself as an “optimistic” per-son.

“If there is a job to do, I try to do it,” said McMul-lin. “I encourage people to do their best.”

A regular patron of the Corinth Artist Guild, McMullin enjoys the vi-sual arts. He proudly dis-plays his pottery in his offi ce, for others to en-joy. He admitted he was sad when Sperro Pottery closed its doors and he was always excited to see

their pieces.An advocate for health,

he walks downtown al-most every day and en-courages others to do so.

When asked about his other passions he said, “I am a gardening fanatic. Corinth has some beauti-ful gardens. It’s so won-derful for me to think that some places have been rescued and trans-formed from something unsightly to something of great beauty.”

The garden next to the Coliseum, Trail Head Park and the Fillmore Street Chapel are a few examples he believes showcase the revival of Corinth’s gardens. He also enjoys rescuing plants and often leads gardening tours so others can view the city’s hidden horticultural jewels.

All are encouraged to attend as Shiloh marks and celebrates this sig-nifi cant day.

The military park was established on Dec. 27, 1894, during a wave of nationalism and pres-ervation in the United States.

By the 1890s, many Americans had grown tired of the sectionalism

which tore the country apart in the 1850s and 60s and the Reconstruc-tion period that followed the war.

In addition, many civil-ians and veterans wanted to pay tribute to the brav-ery of Civil War soldiers, both North and South alike.

Shiloh was one of the fi rst fi ve military parks created, along with Chickamauga, Vicksburg,

Antietam and Gettys-burg.

Since its founding, not only has Shiloh Battlefi eld preserved the ground of the fi rst major fi ght of the Civil War, it has also had far reaching effects on the local economy, providing numerous jobs as a main-stay on Hardin County tourism.

The Shiloh Nation-al Military Park visi-tor center is open daily

from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. The only exceptions being on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

The park’s bookstore is open from 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. during the winter season.

(For more information, contact the park visitor center at 731-689-5696, go to the park website at www.nps.gov/shil, or fi nd us on Facebook.)

“To see the expression on their face when Santa comes in is super,” said Weeden.

Teachers from the school recommend those in need for the day of shopping.

“Children the teachers see in need of assistance

are added to a list,”said the club president.

According to the mem-bers, most children come looking for clothes for a sibling.

“At an early age, they understand the meaning of giving,” said Weeden.

“This is all worth it,” added Miller. “The kids have a ball.”

New Year’s Eve forecast: Great Gatsby descends upon Pickwick innBY KIMBERLY [email protected]

Blake Cain, (left) a senior shortstop for the Kossuth High School baseball squad, and sophomore second baseman Reed Mitchell ring the bell for the Salvation Army at Walmart last Saturday.

Since 1891, the red ket-tle of the Salvation Army has been collecting funds for those in need during the holiday season.

In 2013, the Kossuth High School baseball team decided to partake in the spirit of char-ity. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. last Saturday at Walmart, Coach Trave Hopkins and members of his baseball squad rang the bells for the Salvation Army at the front door -- for the fi rst time.

“Well, we got a great group of kids on our team and their parents who are all very support-ive of everything we do, and this was no excep-tion,” Hopkins said. “We have always went out and raised money for our program but, never any-thing like this. This will teach these boys some humility and we can all learn something from this experience.”

Hopkins said they were glad to be a part of being able to raise mon-ey for some families who are facing hard times this Christmas.

The Salvation Army was started for this very

reason over 122 years ago in San Francisco.

Salvation Army Cap-tain Joseph McFee was distraught because so many poor individuals in San Francisco were go-ing hungry. During the holiday season, he re-solved to provide a free Christmas dinner for the destitute and pov-erty-stricken. He only had one major hurdle to overcome -- funding the project. As he pondered the issue, his thoughts drifted back to his sailor days in Liverpool, Eng-land. He remembered how at Stage Landing, where the boats came in, there was a large, iron kettle called “Simpson’s Pot” into which passers-by tossed a coin or two to help the poor.

Six years later, the ket-tle idea spread from the West coast to the Boston area. The rest is history.

Being a part of this history is something the KHS baseball team wanted to feel like it was a part of.

Blake Cain, a senior shortstop for the Aggies, said, “I think it’s a good thing and I defi nitely am proud to be a part

of doing this today. We wanted to show our com-munity we are not just Kossuth baseball, how-ever, we want to show folks what real love is. It goes beyond the game of baseball, and that we really do care about this area, especially this time of the year.”

Sophomore second baseman Reed Mitchell echoed his teammates’ response about volun-teering their time.

“I love it, this is awe-some,” said Mitchell. “Blake [Cain] is right, we aren’t just Kossuth base-ball but we are a team that wants to be involved in the community. We want to help out in any-way possible. That’s why we came out here today, and it feels great.”

The Kossuth baseball team rotated two to four players out every 30 minutes on Saturday to make sure everyone got involved, according to Hopkins.

“We have the kids on shifts, and they all will get a chance to enjoy this wonderful experience here with the bells and the kettle,” Hopkins con-cluded.

WHEN DID THE KINGDOM OF GOD BEGIN? (3)

This is our fi nal column to answer the question above--and, again, the question is correctly worded, “When did?”, not “When will?”. All the prophecies about the coming of the everlasting kingdom of God converge on and in Acts, chapter 2. The Roman kings ruled the earthly kingdom; the heavenly kingdom was “at hand” to John the baptizer and Jesus the Christ; it was in the lifetime of Jesus’ contemporaries; Peter had a prominent role in its beginning; it was in Jerusalem; and it came with the power of the Holy Spirit. All this happened precisely as the passages we’ve already looked at said it would. On the fi rst Pentecost after the resurrection of Christ, Peter said that the Father raised up Christ (past tense), set Him on the spiritual “throne of David” (past tense), and Christ began His reign (past tense) over the kingdom/church at the right hand of His Father (Acts 2:29-36). A moment later Peter used the “keys” and told people how to get into the kingdom/church (Acts 2:37-38). Those who gladly received the word of God obeyed it and the Lord added them to His kingdom/church (Acts 2:41,47). Paul and other fi rst century Christians rejoiced to be in the kingdom by saying, “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of Hislove, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13-14) Again~ notice that “delivered” and “translated” are past tense. You understand now that Christ has been reigning over His kingdom for about 1980 years. So, the next time you hear someone twist Revelation 20 to suggest that Christ is going to set up a phvsical kingdom on earth for 1,000 years, don’t be fooled-you know the truth of God’s Word. When Christ comes again, He is NOT going to set up a kingdom, He is going to “deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father” The Word says, “Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must (continue to) reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.” (I Corinthians 15:23-25, parenthesis mine)

In the great tradition of American civil disobedi-ence, President Barack Obama is defying a law. It’s just one that he himself lobbied for, signed and lost a house of Congress over. Even Henry David Thoreau would be hard-pressed to understand

this one.The famous dissenter refused to

pay a tax because of his opposition to the Mexican-American War and slavery; presumably, though, he would have been willing to comply with the provisions of something called ThoreauCare.

President Obama is in a much more awkward spot. At every turn, he is confronted by the ir-rationalities and inconveniences of his own health-care law. Not

since Cary Grant was chased by the crop-duster in “North by Northwest” has there been such an af-fecting scene of a man constantly on the run. The president’s tools of evasion are waivers, deadline extensions, reinterpretations and last-minute demands on insurance companies. Really, any means necessary.

Coordination with the insurance companies is dispensed with, and public notice is spotty. Announcements are sometimes made at night, when everyone eagerly awaits the latest news on how American health insurance will work. It was around 9 p.m. that the administration let it be known that it was partially suspending the individual mandate in 2014 by exempting people who have had their insurance policies canceled. It didn’t even publicly announce its one-day exten-sion of the deadline to get insurance by Jan. 1. This is not just government by diktat, but government by embarrassed diktat.

Understandably, since the administration has a lot to be embarrassed about, it long ago stopped caring about coherence. After the latest big change, the individual mandate applies to you, except if it doesn’t. It is absolutely essential to the functioning of the law, except when it isn’t. The law is a Great Leap Forward for the cause of social justice. But it is also a hardship.

That was the justifi cation for this new dispensa-tion from on high. It had to be issued to accom-modate the unfortunate event described by the administration as “your current health-insurance policy is being canceled and you consider other available policies unaffordable” -- in other words, the inherent logic of the law. The president had previously announced that the administration would decline to enforce its own rules causing those cancellations. When that proved ineffec-tual, it went further. The smart betting is that this partial suspension of the individual mandate next year will eventually be followed by a full suspen-sion.

The administration’s previous on-the-fl y change, about a week earlier, had the same des-perate feel. It issued a series of new demands on insurance companies. As Yuval Levin, editor of the journal National Affairs, summarized the edict, it asked them “to pay claims for consumers who haven’t paid their premiums, to treat out-of-net-work doctors and hospitals as though they were in-network, and to pay for prescription drugs not actually covered by the plans they offer.”

The point of all this is simply to live until tomorrow. To avoid the worst consequences of the catastrophically poor design of the law, to give frightened Democrats some cover, to temporize and hope something turns up. Needless to say, we aren’t talking about some obscure piece of uncon-troversial legislation that, because it got so little notice, was poorly crafted. This is the president’s signature law. That its implementation is so shot through with panicked, poorly conceived improvi-sation is -- to use a favorite word of its supporters upon its passage -- historic.

It’s as if Teddy Roosevelt dreaded the conse-quences of the Pure Food and Drug Act. Or if Franklin Delano Roosevelt repeatedly tried to wiggle out of the Social Security Act. Or Lyndon Baines Johnson shot the Civil Rights Act through with ad hoc, after-the-fact exemptions.

At his end-of-the-year press conference, Presi-dent Obama hoped for a better 2014. But come Jan. 1, Obamacare will still loom, and he will, no doubt, have to fi nd new, yet more inventive ways to try to escape.

The art of the escape

Prayer for today

A verse to share

Christmastime is an occa-sion for families to come to-gether. But the family is not what it used to be, as my for-mer American Enterprise In-stitute colleague Nick Schulz argues in his short AEI book “Home Economics: The Con-sequences of Changing Fam-ily Structure.”

It's a subject that many people are uncomfortable with. “Everyone either is or knows and has a deep per-sonal connection to someone who is divorced, cohabiting, or gay,” Schulz writes. “Great numbers of people simply want to avoid awkward talk of what are seen as primarily personal issues or issues of in-dividual morality.”

Nonetheless, it is an un-comfortable truth that chil-dren of divorce and children with unmarried parents tend to do much worse in life than children of two-parent families. (I'll leave aside the sensitive issue of children of same-sex marriages, since these haven't existed in a non-stigmatized atmosphere long enough to produce measur-able results.)

As Schulz points out, that uncomfortable truth is not controversial among social scientists. It is affi rmed by undoubted liberals such as Harvard's David Ellwood and Christopher Jencks.

Growing up outside a two-parent family means not just lower incomes and less social mobility, Schulz argues. It also reduces human capital

-- “the knowl-edge, educa-tion, habits, w i l l p o w e r -- all the inter-nal stuff that is largely in-tangible a per-son has that helps produce an income.”

While chil-dren are born with certain innate capacities, those ca-pacities can be broadened or narrowed by their upbring-ing. The numbers indicate that single or divorced par-ents -- however caring and dedicated -- are unable, on average, to broaden those ca-pacities as much as married parents can.

These differences have sharp implications for up-ward mobility. Schulz points to an Economic Mobility Project analysis showing that, among children who start off in the bottom third of the in-come distribution, only 26 percent with divorced par-ents move up, compared to 42 percent born to unmarried mothers (who may marry lat-er, of course) and 50 percent who grow up with two mar-ried parents.

All this matters more than it used to because two-par-ent families are much more uncommon than they used to be. In 1960 about three-fourths of Americans 18 and over were married. In 2011, less than half were.

One reason is that people

are getting married later in life. Back in 1959, one of the last years of the Baby Boom, most American women got married before they turned 21.

In the last half-century, the age of fi rst marriage has crept upward. In 1970, only 11 per-cent of men and 7 percent of women age 30 to 34 had nev-er been married. In 2008, the corresponding fi gures were 37 percent of men and 28 per-cent of women.

In 1970, only 12 percent of Americans age 35 to 44 were unmarried. In 2009, 33 per-cent were.

Many see increased divorce as the explanation for this change. True, divorce rates spiked upward in the 1970s. But they peaked in the 1980s. Most of the change represents people not getting married at all.

In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then-assistant labor secretary, won fame -- and vicious criticism -- for his report lamenting that 24 percent of black births were to unmarried mothers. By 2009, that rate had risen to 72 per-cent -- and the rate of unmar-ried births to all American mothers was 41 percent.

These changes have not affected all social classes uniformly. In his 2012 book “Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010,” my AEI colleague Charles Murray showed that rates of divorce and single parent-hood among college-educat-

ed whites, after increasing in the 1970s, are almost down to 1960s levels.

But among low-education, low-income whites, as well as blacks and Hispanics, fam-ily disintegration has become the norm.

Will these trends go on for-ever? Not necessarily. Schulz looks back to the 1950s, years of unusually high marriage rates. Go back further, to the years around 1900, and Americans were marrying later and larger percentages than today never married at all.

Increasing affl uence and changing mores reinforced by universal media such as mov-ies and television helped pro-duce the midcentury America with well-nigh universal mar-ried parenthood.

People learn from experi-ence. In surveys, children of divorce express disapproval of divorce -- and the decline in divorce rates since the 1980s suggests they divorce less often than their parents' generation.

So it's at least possible that those most familiar with the ill effects of family disintegra-tion will choose in their own lives to take a different course.

Christmastime and the family structure

The outrage industry was in high dudgeon just before Christmas over remarks “Duck Dynasty” family patri-arch, Phil Robertson, made to GQ magazine about ho-mosexuality. Outrage is the primary ingredient for politi-cal fundraising and political power. One must always have an enemy.

Let's go down the “I Take Offense” checklist and make sure all the boxes were “ticked” before considering a larger point.

-- Liberal New York writer goes slumming among the hayseeds in Louisiana and deliberately creates a contro-versy by asking a Bible-loving Christian to defi ne sin. Check.

-- Bible-reading Christian quotes from that book and is condemned by those who don't read or believe what it says, or have a different “in-terpretation” (same thing). Check.

-- The A&E Network, on which the highest-rated cable TV show is shown (up to 14 million viewers), quickly is-sues an apology and “full support” for the LGBT com-munity. Check.

-- Louisiana Governor Bob-by Jindal issues a statement

noting that the twerking Miley Cyrus gets laughs, while Phil Robertson is put on indefi -nite hiatus. Check.

-- The right to free speech is defended

amidst allegations that quot-ing the Bible promotes hate and violence against gays. Check.

-- Various high-profi le Christians, among them for-mer Alaska Governor Sar-ah Palin, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Texas Republican Sena-tor Ted Cruz, denounce the “double standard” when it comes to their beliefs and the tolerance, even promotion, of beliefs and practices anath-ema to them. Check.

-- Both sides send out fundraising appeals that ask for contributions to (pick one) fi ght the intolerance, hate and bigotry of the funda-mentalists and their Repub-lican allies (liberals), or keep America from sliding into the moral and cultural pit from anti-God Christian bash-

ers (conservatives). Check. Check.

There. Now, does every-one feel better? Has everyone had their say? Has anything changed? It might, if the Rob-ertson family carries through on its implied threat to “walk” from the show if Phil is not al-lowed to continue on “Duck Dynasty.” I don't know what their contract allows, but if it permits them to leave, or if they are fi red “for cause,” they are likely to “walk” their hit show and its huge audi-ence to another network.

Now to the larger point. Christians who read the Bi-ble, as Phil Robertson does, should be aware of verses other than the ones that list people it says can't enter God's Kingdom apart from faith in Jesus, who changes behavior and forgives the past. That list, by the way, includes “all liars,” which should put the fear of God into most politicians. (See Revelation 21:8)

Other passages say Chris-tians should expect persecu-tion, even hate, because Jesus said they would. “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me fi rst” (John 15:18) and “In the world you

will have tribulation” (John 16:33).

Christians should not “de-mand” respect and “toler-ance” for their beliefs when their Leader said to expect the opposite. Sure, they can point out hypocrisy (it is something in which they oc-casionally engage), but they should be known less for what they are against, than Who they are for.

Condemnation ought not to be the fi rst words out of their mouths when it comes to the beliefs and lifestyles of others. Quite the oppo-site. Phil Robertson must be familiar with this verse: “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:17)

Here's a New Year's pre-diction: “Duck Dynasty” will be back with Phil Robertson, either on A&E, or another network. When it returns, the ratings will be even higher and the profi ts larger. As Sy Robertson might put it, “and that's a fact, Jack.”

Family of 4 doubles with birth of quadruplets

TUPELO — Just before Christmas, a New Albany family of four became a family of eight.

Veronica Hernandez gave birth Monday to quadruplets: two boys and two girls.

Girls Allyson Sophia and Ashley Marie and boys Alexander Ivan and Anthony Ricardo were born at 25 weeks.

“This is our Christmas present, for sure,” said Veronica, 33.

Helias Hernandez, 27, is a twin himself, and has two other sets of twins in his family. But no one was expecting four babies when the couple became pregnant this summer.

Veronica Hernandez said they’d been told to expect triplets. In November, she said, doc-tors found another baby.

The girls weigh just over one pound each, and the boys are just over two pounds each.

Veronica Hernandez has been hospitalized at North Mississippi Medi-cal Center Women’s Hos-pital since the day since the day after Thanksgiv-ing to keep the babies in the womb as long as possible and ensure they weren’t born without a doctor around.

The babies were on ventilators but doing well.

They have a 16-year-old brother and a 10-year-old sister.

“I’m proud that I deliv-ered these babies,” said Dr. Leo Bautista. “And this may be the only quads that I will have in my career ... After they were delivered, they were of course premature, but they did very well after they were delivered.”

Bautista said every-thing looks pretty good right now if the babies can make it to 34 weeks without complications.

“It’s not unheard of, but it’s exceedingly rare,” to have quadruplets with-out fertility treatment, said Bautista. “It’s about 1 in 750,000.”

Helias Hernandez said he’s happy the babies arrived safely. When they come home — likely April if all goes well — that’s when the shock will set in, he said.

Aberdeen seeks to get outstanding fines

ABERDEEN — The city of Aberdeen will begin publishing the names of people with owing the largest past-due fines and fees to the city.

Originally, the city was going to go back and list the names of every late

fine from the past de-cade but aldermen opted to just do the larger ones initially.

City attorney Dudley Williams says once the list is made public, those on it will be given an am-nesty period to settle up. If that passes without payment, they will then be subject to a court hearing.

Williams says the board of aldermen’s ac-tion puts consequences on those who fail to pay within the amnesty pe-riod.

Williams says he ex-pects the policy to bring in revenue.

Court date set forkidnapping, assault

BAY ST. LOUIS — A man who allegedly lured two brothers, ages 5 and 8, from their yard in south Mississippi and took them to his camper, where he sexu-ally abused them and slashed the older boy’s throat will be in court Jan. 12.

A hearing in Hancock County Justice Court will determine if there is enough evidence to present the case to the grand jury.

James Smith is charged with kidnapping, attempted murder, sexu-al battery; and resisting arrest. His bond is set at $3.5 million. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

The children were ab-ducted Dec. 18 in Pearl River County and taken to the trailer in rural Han-cock County. One boy escaped and got help. The child who was cut is in stable condition in a Mobile hospital.

Authorities identifybody found in Waveland

WAVELAND — The Waveland Police Depart-ment is conducting a ho-micide investigation after the body of a homeless man was discovered in an abandoned house on U.S. Highway 90.

Hancock County

Coroner Jim Faulk says 58-year-old David Bour-geois of Hancock County apparently had been dead for several days when his body was found Wednesday night.

Faulk says the case was ruled a homicide after the autopsy Thurs-day. He says he cannot release any additional details about the death.

Police Chief David Al-len says the man may have been staying in the house.

Tree that saved livesin Katrina now gifts

OCEAN SPRINGS — It seemed like a typical Christmas at the Mar-tin residence in Ocean Springs, but nestled around the tree were 11 wood carvings of peli-cans, egrets and other birds.

Those carvings came from a giant cedar tree that helped save the lives of Gay and Alice Martin during Hurricane Katrina. The Martins tell WLOX-TV they clung to that tree in their back yard for almost three hours. Alice Martin says God used it to save their lives.

A storm surge of more than 30 feet above sea level forced the couple to climb onto their roof. When it began to sink, Gay Martin says they got on the tree.

The Martins then were inspired to cut it down and have sculptor Marlin Miller make Christmas gifts for their children.

Bloom Fountain statue vanishes

VICKSBURG — The Bloom Fountain, donated by Louis Bloom after his death in 1926, is miss-ing its statue of Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth and cupbearer to the gods of Mount Olym-pus.

City officials tell The Vicksburg Post that the statue was taken down to repair a busted water pipe.

Capping tough year,Obama signs deal

HONOLULU — Round-ing out a tough and frus-trating year, President Barack Obama signed a bipartisan budget deal Thursday easing spend-ing cuts and a defense bill cracking down on sexual assault in the military, as the president and Congress began pivoting to the midterm election year ahead.

Obama put his signa-ture on both hard-fought bills while vacationing in Hawaii, where he has been regrouping with his family since Saturday. The bill signing marks one of Obama’s last offi-cial acts in a year beset by a partial government shutdown, a near-default by the Treasury, a calam-itous health care rollout and near-perpetual con-gressional gridlock.

Although the budget deal falls short of the grand bargain that Obama and congres-sional Republicans once aspired to, it ends the cycle of fiscal brinkman-ship — for now — by preventing another shutdown for nearly two more years.

But the rare moment of comity may be short-lived. Hanging over the start of the year is a renewed fight over raising the nation’s bor-rowing limit, which the Treasury says must be resolved by late Febru-ary or early March to avert an unprecedented U.S. default. Both sides are positioning behind customary hard-line positions, with Republi-cans insisting they want concessions before raising the debt limit and Obama insisting he won’t negotiate.

The last vestiges of 2013’s legislative wrangling behind him, Obama’s attention turns now to major challenges and potential bright spots in the year ahead. In late January, Obama will give his fifth State of the Union address, set-ting his agenda for the final stretch before the 2014 midterm elections, in which all of the House and one-third of the Sen-ate are on the ballot.

Americans hopeful for better year

WASHINGTON — Large number of Americans see 2013 as anything but a banner year and aren’t reluctant to wave goodbye on New Year’s Eve, a new AP-Times Square poll says, reflect-ing anxiety stretching from the corridors of power in Washington to corporate boardrooms, statehouses, and city and town halls.

Although the poll shows that people generally are looking forward to the new year with optimism and no blatant sense of fore-boding, it also unmasks pent-up worries about international crises and instability, and concerns at home about the stan-dard of living, health care and schools.

Utah begins issuingsame-sex licenses

SALT LAKE CITY — The last of the Utah

counties that were holding out on issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples re-versed course Thursday and decided to hand out licenses to all eligible applicants.

Officials for the four holdouts — Box Elder, Utah, Piute and San Juan counties — told The Associated Press they made the deci-sion to offer licenses to same-sex couples.

County clerks say they had little choice after an appeals court Tuesday declined to intervene and halt gay marriage. U.S. District Judge Rob-ert Shelby ruled last week that Utah’s ban on gay marriage was uncon-stitutional, sending gay couples rushing to clerk offices for licenses.

The state plans to take its fight against gay marriage to the U.S. Supreme Court as early as Friday while it prepares an appeal of Shelby’s ruling to the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said Ryan Bruckman, a spokesman for the Utah attorney general’s office.

Bruckman has said counties could be held in contempt of federal court if they refused to comply.

Court reversesofficial’s conviction

PHILADELPHIA — A Roman Catholic church official who has been jailed for more than a year for his handling of priest sex-abuse complaints had his landmark conviction re-versed and was ordered released Thursday.

A three-judge Superior Court panel unanimous-ly rejected prosecution arguments that Monsi-gnor William Lynn, the first U.S. church official ever charged or con-victed for the handling of clergy-abuse com-plaints, was legally re-sponsible for an abused boy’s welfare in the late 1990s.

“He’s been in prison 18 months for a crime he didn’t commit and couldn’t commit under the law,” said his attor-ney, Thomas Bergstrom. “It’s incredible what happened to this man.”

Lynn, 62, is serv-ing a three- to six-year prison sentence after his child-endangerment conviction last year. His lawyers hoped for his immediate release Thursday from the state prison in Waymart, but the appeals court denied the request, in-stead sending the bail issue back to the trial court.

Prosecutors vowed

to oppose bail and to challenge the 43-page opinion.

“Because we will be appealing, the convic-tion still stands for now, and the defendant can-not be lawfully released until the end of the pro-cess,” District Attorney Seth Williams said in a statement.

His office contended at trial that Lynn reas-signed known preda-tors to new parishes in Philadelphia while he was the archdiocese’s secretary for clergy from 1992 to 2004. Lynn’s conviction stems from the case of one priest, Edward Avery, found to have abused a child in 1998 after such a transfer.

Victims’ groups blast-ed the reversal.

‘Booty Call’ director Pollack dies at 54

HERMOSA BEACH, Calif. — A producer of TV’s “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and writer-director of “Above the Rim” has died.

Police say Jeffrey Ian Pollack was found col-lapsed early Monday morning in the Green-belt jogging area of Hermosa Beach, about 20 miles southwest of Los Angeles. Pollack was 54.

Authorities said Thursday they do not suspect foul play. Pollack was wearing jogging clothes and carrying an iPod when a passer-by discovered him and contacted po-lice.

Pollack produced sev-eral seasons of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” as well as a Jennifer Lo-pez concert documenta-ry. Besides “Above the Rim,” Pollack directed the films “Booty Call” and “Lost & Found.”

Cab driver finds $300,000 in back seat

LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas cab driver Ge-rardo Gamboa thought someone left a bag of chocolates in the back seat of his vehicle, but the stash turned out to be $300,000 in cold hard cash.

Now, Gamboa is win-ning honors for hon-esty after turning in the money he found Mon-day. The money was returned to an unidenti-fied poker player. Yellow Checker Star Transpor-tation named Gamboa its driver of the year and rewarded him with $1,000 and a dinner for two at a restaurant.

A message left Wednesday for Gamboa at the cab company wasn’t immediately re-turned.

JUBA, South Sudan — African leaders tried Thursday to advance peace talks between South Sudan’s president and political rivals he accuses of attempting a coup to topple the gov-ernment of the world’s newest country.

As fi ghting persisted in parts of South Su-dan’s oil-producing region, Kenyan Presi-dent Uhuru Kenyatta and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn had “a con-structive dialogue” with South Sudanese Presi-dent Salva Kiir, accord-ing to Kiir’s foreign min-ister. But the fugitive former deputy president who now leads renegade troops was not repre-sented, and no political breakthrough emerged.

The next round of meetings will be held in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, where regional leaders under a bloc known as IGAD are to meet Friday to discuss a report from Thursday’s meeting, South Suda-nese Foreign Minister Barnaba Marial Benja-min said.

Kiir agreed “in prin-ciple” to stop hostilities and to negotiate with former Vice President Riek Machar, who is ex-pected to be formally in-vited by IGAD to attend upcoming peace talks, said Benjamin, who of-fered no details.

It was not possible to reach Machar, as his known phone numbers were switched off.

Government troops are trying to retake con-trol of Bentiu, the capi-tal of Unity state, from

forces loyal to Machar. Fighting was also re-ported in Malakal, capi-tal of Upper Nile state. Upper Nile and Unity comprise the country’s key oil-producing re-gion, raising concerns that unrest there could cut off the economic lifeblood of the young nation, which gets near-ly its entire government budget from oil.

Citing more progress against rebels on the battlefi eld, South Su-dan’s minister of infor-mation told reporters that national forces on Thursday regained “full control” of Malakal. Mi-chael Makuei Lueth said “criminal elements” had been looting the town, but the army now had it under control.

Military spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said government troops were “preparing to retake Ben-tiu as soon as possible.”

The fi ghting has pro-voked fears of a civil war in the country that peace-fully broke away from Sudan in 2011 following a 2005 peace deal.

The United States, Norway and Ethiopia are leading efforts to open peace talks between Kiir and his political rivals. Kiir said in a Christmas address that he is will-ing to “dialogue” with all his opponents.

The United Nations is investigating reports of mass killings since violence began spread-ing after a Dec. 15 fi ght among the presidential guards that pitted sol-diers from Kiir’s Dinka ethnic group against those from the Nuer ethnic group of Machar.

South Sudan’s top

U.N. humanitarian of-fi cial, Toby Lanzer, said Monday that he believes the death toll has sur-passed 1,000.

Although the capital, Juba, is now calm, fi ght-ing appears to be ex-panding, stretching the limits of humanitarian workers and aid agen-cies. The U.N. humani-tarian offi ce said aid agencies need $166 mil-lion to save lives amid the continuing violence.

The money will be used to provide water, sanitation, shelter, food and health care, plus protection for vulner-able people, the offi ce said in a statement.

Some 58,000 people have taken refuge in and around U.N. bases in South Sudan, and more than 92,000 have fl ed their homes as a result of fi ghting, according to the U.N.

The U.N. Security Council last week voted unanimously to beef up its peacekeeping force in South Sudan. It called for an immediate end to hostilities and the “opening of a dialogue.”

Hilde Johnson, head of the U.N. mission in South Sudan, said she expects some military reinforcements and equipment to arrive in 48 hours to help protect civilians seeking refuge at U.N. bases.

Before the 2005 peace agreement, the region that is now South Sudan fought decades of war with Sudan. One of the world’s least developed countries, it still has pockets of rebel resis-tance and sees cyclical, tribal clashes that result in hundreds of deaths.

Law officers:ATV thefts on rise

MCCOMB — South-west Mississippi law enforcement officials say thefts of all-terrain vehicles are on the rise.

The Enterprise-Journal reports that nine such thefts have been report-ed this year in Amite County, 16 in Pike County and eight in Lin-coln County. Few have been recovered.

Pike County Chief Investigator Bruce Fair-burn says all the coun-ties around Pike, and bordering parishes in Louisiana, are all report-ing big increases in ATV thefts.

He urges owners to record serial numbers, take photos and secure their vehicles properly.

Lincoln County Chief Investigator John Whita-ker says he believes a small ring of thieves may be working in the area.

Investigators say the increase began with the start of hunting season, with another spike in the holiday season.

Jackson axes $50 late fee on water bills

JACKSON — After years of debate, the Jackson City Council has eliminated a $50 fee on late residential water bills.

Councilwoman LaRita

Cooper-Stokes spon-sored the ordinance. She tells The Clarion-Ledger it was unfair to poor people and those on fixed incomes, be-cause it could double a bill.

The late fee remains in place for businesses. And people still run the risk of having their water cut off. If that happens, they’ll be assessed a $25 recon-nect fee.

After a long debate last week, the council voted 6-0 to remove the fee on late residential water bills.

RALEIGH, N.C. — A month after President Barack Obama an-nounced people could keep insurance policies slated for cancellation under the federal health overhaul, the reversal has gotten a mixed response from insurers, state regu-lators and consumers.

Many consumers com-plained in October and November after insurers notifi ed them that their plans were being canceled because they didn’t cover pre-existing conditions, hospitalization, prescrip-tion drugs or seven other basic benefi ts required under the law. In pitching the overhaul, Obama had long promised people who liked their policies could keep them.

Then Obama an-nounced Nov. 14 that companies could continue existing policies that don’t meet the minimum re-quirements if state regu-lators approved. Offi cials in 27 states responded by allowing insurance com-panies to extend the non-compliant policies for an-other year.

Insurers in those states were given a choice of whether to continue the

policies, and some have declined.

In Kentucky, insurers Humana, United Health-care and Assurant chose to extend old policies while Anthem and Blue-grass Family Health opted against it. Seven compa-nies in South Carolina are extending individual plans the federal law con-siders substandard, while six companies are extend-ing plans in the small group market. Twenty are not participating.

In North Carolina, only Blue Cross and Blue Shield, which controls about 80 percent of the state’s market for indi-vidual and small-business policies, offered to renew plans covering 474,000 people that had been slat-ed for cancellation. North Carolina’s insurance com-missioner allowed the company to raise premi-ums by between 16 per-cent and 24 percent.

It wasn’t alone in rais-ing prices on non-compli-ant policies. Anthem Blue Cross in Maine plans to raise premiums by an av-erage of 12 percent on its no-longer-cancelled poli-cies. The Blue Cross pro-vider in neighboring New Hampshire expects an av-

erage 7 percent increase. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois said it would seek undefi ned price changes.

Raleigh attorney Jeff Poley, 42, says he’s fi ne with paying more for his current policy, con-sidering what it would have cost him to switch to a new one. He’s cov-ered himself with a high-deductible health policy from Blue Cross for the past two years, which cur-rently costs $137 a month. The plan doesn’t cover maternity and some other benefi ts required under the Affordable Care Act.

When he initially re-ceived a cancellation no-tice, Blue Cross said the closest plan that met all of the new federal require-ments would cost nearly twice as much.

But after Obama’s an-nouncement, Blue Cross offered to extend Poley’s old plan for another year at $170 a month. His wife is covered by a policy through her law fi rm.

“I was glad for the one-year reprieve, but I would still like a permanent fi x because I don’t need abor-tion coverage, I don’t need maternity coverage,” said Poley, who said he ex-ercises vigorously about

six days a week. “We as a family had made that choice and we are two in-telligent people who know better what’s good for our family than the govern-ment does.”

About 15 million Ameri-cans buy policies as in-dividuals, according to Families USA, a nonprofi t organization that backs health reform. At least 4.2 million people received notices from their insurers that their policies would be cancelled, according to a tally by The Associ-ated Press. The number is likely much higher be-cause offi cials in 20 states said they were unable to provide information on cancellation notices.

Sabrina Corlette, proj-ect director at the Health Policy Institute at George-town University, warns that Obama’s decision last month could allow young-er people with relatively few health problems to stay on bare-bones poli-cies. That could lead to higher premiums in 2015 to offset the cost of cov-ering people with more health problems, she said.

Still, even before Obama’s announcement last month, a pathway ex-isted for many consumers

to hang onto policies that didn’t conform to the ACA requirements.

About four out of fi ve states allowed insurers to offer early renewals to non-conforming policies that would have expired sometime next year, ac-cording to America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry trade asso-ciation.

Virginia, Maryland, Arizona and Nebraska regulators said they won’t allow companies to res-urrect cancelled plans as Obama suggested because the same could be accom-plished if policy holders took advantage of early renewals before the end of this year.

Early renewals are al-lowing 60-year-old art-ist Marlys Dietrick of San Antonio and her 21-year-old son to stay in their old policies.

Dietrick jumped at the chance when Humana of-fered in October to renew her expiring, high-deduct-ible policy early for $315 a month — an increase of about $15. She and her son both must spend $7,000 per year on medi-cal bills to meet a deduct-ible before the company starts paying.

Her insurer told her it would charge $705 a month for a similar policy that met the new standard required under the health care law. She earns too much to qualify for tax subsidies.

“I’m not saying I loved my insurance. I’m just saying I was able to keep the costs down by being able to tailor it to me and my needs,” she said. “I’m 60. I don’t need mater-nity. I don’t need pediat-ric. I’m healthy, I don’t need drug coverage. I don’t need mental health. There’s like fi ve things that allowed me to keep my costs down. I was able to pick and choose.”

Consumers Union health care reform analyst Lynn Quincy said staying with an existing policy is a natural starting point. But renewing an existing policy with a high deduct-ible or excluding types of coverage needed later may not turn out to be the best deal, she said.

“If your old coverage continued, that’s fi ne. But look at your other options before enrolling, because you can’t be turned down now” for pre-existing health conditions, Quincy said.

Reversal on ACA cancellations gets mixed responseAssociated Press

GARDINER, Maine — Snow fell Thursday in places still hustling to get power back on after a weekend ice storm that turned out the lights from Michigan to Maine and into Canada.

Eastern Maine and parts of the state’s interi-or that have been without electricity since Sunday anticipated 3 to 7 inches of snow by the time the latest system pushed off the coast Thursday night. Utilities worried that the additional weight on branches and transmis-sion lines could cause set-backs in the around-the-clock efforts to restore power.

“We don’t think it’s go-ing to help us much, that’s for sure,” said Susan Fa-loon, a spokeswoman for Bangor Hydro Electric in Maine. “There was some concern expressed over the last couple of days about that storm coming because obviously we still have lot of stuff weighing

down trees and lines.“The system is pretty

compromised out there,” she said. “We expect we will have more outages.”

In Michigan, where about half a million homes and businesses lost power at the peak of the weekend storm, an inch or so of snow was expected. Utilities there reported 101,000 custom-ers without power Thurs-day morning and said it could be Saturday before all electricity is restored.

Tony Carone lost pow-er in his Lapeer, Mich., home Sunday morning. The 52-year-old lineman for Detroit-based DTE knew there were long hours ahead.

“I was one of the casual-ties,” he said while taking a break from restoration work Thursday morning.

Maine reported more than 21,000 customers still out, down from a high of more than 106,000. There were more than 101,000 without power in three Canadian provinces

— Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick — includ-ing 54,000 in the city of Toronto.

Day fi ve without pow-er was met by tired but mostly stoic Mainers.

Bob and Katrina John-son spent Christmas Eve at a family member’s house that had no elec-tricity. Christmas morn-ing was at their powerless house in Pittston and that afternoon meant a trip to Katrina’s mother’s house in Gardiner, which also had no electricity. None-theless, they exchanged presents and celebrated.

By Thursday, the cou-ple had grown weary from hauling a portable gen-erator back and forth be-tween their home and her mother’s home to keep a freezer-load of moose meat from spoiling and run the heat long enough to keep pipes from freez-ing and bursting.

“You have to go with the fl ow and adapt, and do the best you can,” Katrina Johnson said. “You learn

how to deal with it. Do you like it? No, but you deal with it.”

In hard-hit Kennebec County, where the state capital of Augusta is lo-cated, glistening trees sagged under the weight of ice. Many tree limbs had snapped, littering yards.

On one road, work-ers in four bucket trucks from Massachusetts’ N-Star utility company worked patiently to get a power line lifted back into place as snow fell spo-radically. Paul Graham, the crew supervisor from Waltham, Mass., and a veteran of the devastating ice storm of 1998, said it could’ve been worse, even as his team worked its third consecutive 18-hour shift.

“Honestly, you got lucky,” he said. “If it was a little more ice, poles would have been broken. Things would be on the ground. That’s my take. If there was another quarter of an inch or a half-inch of

ice, people would’ve been out for a long, long, long time.

“But I’m sure no one is thinking they’re lucky, right?”

A state ferry was com-mandeered to transport utility crews to restore power to the 600 or so residents on the island of Islesboro, where ac-tor John Travolta has a home.

Most utility customers in Maine were expected to have their lights on by week’s end, but there were some pockets where dam-age was so severe it could take until Wednesday.

Bangor Hydro Electric advised residents that it will be the end of the day Friday before its more than 11,000 custom-ers are back online. The number has fl uctuated as some get power back while others lose it.

Central Maine Power, with more than 16,000 customers still without power early Thursday, hoped to get electricity

back for most by the end of the day but acknowl-edged that some will still be without electricity Fri-day. More than 100,000 were without power at the storm’s peak.

In the snow country of New York’s Tug Hill Plateau, east of Lake On-tario, 11 to 17 inches of wind-whipped lake ef-fect snow was expected to fall by the end of the day Friday. The ice storm knocked out electricity for about 50,000 customers in northern New York; all but about 150 had power back by Thursday.

Elsewhere, the snow shut westbound lanes on a portion of the Penn-sylvania Turnpike after a pileup involving 35 ve-hicles. Ten people were taken to hospital with in-juries from the crash.

Authorities blame last weekend’s storm for 27 deaths; 17 in the U.S. and 10 in Canada, including fi ve who apparently died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Would organ donorsalso give hands, face?

WASHINGTON — Sure your liver or kidney could save someone’s life. But would you donate your hands, or your face? Sign-ing up to become an organ donor may get more compli-cated than just checking a

box on your driver’s license.The government is

preparing to regulate the new field of hand and face transplants like it does standard organ transplants, giving more Americans who are disabled or disfigured by injury, illness or combat a chance at this radical kind of reconstruction.

Among the first challeng-es is deciding how people

should consent to donate these very visible body parts that could improve someone’s quality of life — without deterring them from traditional donation of hearts, lungs and other internal organs needed to save lives.

“Joe Blow is not going to know that now an organ is defined as also including a hand or a face,” said Dr.

Suzanne McDiarmid, who chairs the committee of the United Network for Organ Sharing, or UNOS, that will develop the new policies over the next few months.

Making that clear to potential donors and their families is critical — “oth-erwise we could undermine public trust,” said McDiar-mid, a transplant specialist

at the University of Califor-nia, Los Angeles.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Maybe it was getting his first video game, Cosmic Avenger, for Christmas at age 12, and then having to wait an entire year for the hard-to-

land Colecovision console to play it on that made Michael Thomasson so de-termined to get his hands on every video game and system he could find.

Now, 31 years and roughly 11,000 games later, Thomasson is the newly crowned world record holder for having the largest collection of video games.

Today

Last retail push

Christmas is over, but retailers are hoping to cash in on another tradition: after-Christmas sales.

Many retailers offered steep discounts to woo consumers in the weeks leading up to the Christmas holiday. Even so, sales at U.S. stores have been lackluster. Retailers like Amazon.com and Old Navy ramped up their after-Christmas sales early in a bid to lure shoppers back into stores today and over the weekend.

Eye on natural gas

The Energy Department is due to report its latest tally of U.S. natural gas stockpiles.

The nation’s natural gas supplies have been declining in recent weeks, falling about 8 percent two weeks ago from the previous week to 3.25 trillion cubic feet. The nation’s natural gas inventories typically drop during cold weather months. Figures for last week’s natural gas stockpiles are due out today.

Big finish?

The last full week of trading on the stock market draws to a close today.

It’s been a historic year for investors, who have bid up stock prices to all-time highs despite a mediocre economy. That’s helped set the S&P 500 index up for its best year since 1997. The Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program, which is aimed at keeping long-term interest rates low, has made stocks more attractive.Source: FactSet

Trevor Delaney; Jenni Sohn • APSource: FactSet *projected earnings next 12 months ^annualized

An improved outlook for 2014 is helping shares of Finish Line end the year strong. Stock in the athletic shoe and clothing company is up 7 percent this month and nearly 50 percent so far this year.

The company reported better-than-expected earnings last week and raised its 2014 earnings forecast. The company now foresees 2014 adjusted earnings of $1.60 to $1.65 per share, reflecting growth of 9 percent to 12 percent over this year. Its prior guidance was for a mid-single digit percentage increase.

A growth driver for the company is its partnership with Macy’s, under which it will operate Finish-Line branded shops within Macy’s department stores and online at Macys.com. The rollout process began this spring and should be completed next year. Over time, management expects the agreement could generate more than $250 million in annual revenue. Last year the retailer posted revenue of $1.4 billion.

Financial analysts are mixed on the stock, but the Macy’s deal is one reason Eric Tracy of Janney Capital Markets maintains a “Buy” rating, projecting additional revenue of $130 million or more next year.

James Embrey of C & D Jarnigan’s has been making tinware for Civil War re-enactors the past 23 years in Corinth. See Steve Beavers’ story in

Sunday’s edition.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t help but wonder wheth-er there’s a better way to make money. Center your work on something that is endlessly inter-esting to you, and it won’t feel like work at all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your heart will communicate with operatic force. Follow its power-ful song. The action you take this afternoon will have an unusual but benefi cial outcome.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may prefer to freely share what you’ve learned, but con-sider that practical knowledge costs time and money to acquire. Shouldn’t you be compensated? People are more likely to listen to the advice they pay for.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be careful not to get too wrapped up in defi ning people (or your-self) through belongings. What you own may suggest certain tal-ents, but just because a person owns a hammer doesn’t mean he can build a house.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s nice when people approve of what you do, but you don’t base your decisions on what’s nice. It’s better to let them think what they will than to change your behavior to please their fi ckle tastes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sacred things are made so by the beliefs of people. You are as qualifi ed as anyone else to de-clare what is sacred to you, and as long as you treat that item or event in a sacred way, it will re-main so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Ask a small favor of a friend who seems to have the means and the time to accommodate you. You may not even need the help that much, but you do need to know on whom you can rely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As you look at the current cast of characters around you, it will seem that the most charming people tend to lead charmed lives. It’s important that you don’t mistake polish for substance,

though.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Socializing leads to intel-lectual and political gains. Those who listen twice as much as they talk will be two times as knowl-edgeable at the end of the con-versation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may be convenient for you to accommodate a loved one’s wishes, but before you do, con-sider that this also may be setting up an unhealthy, codependent dynamic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you’re not sure what to say, saying very little is a wise strategy. You’ll be surprised by the way others fi ll in the silent spaces you leave, usually to your credit and benefi t.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sooner or later, the conversation will come around to that subject about which you care deeply. So why not cut out all of the bor-ing, meandering chitchat and get right to it?

DEAR ABBY: I live in a fairly well-to-do neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. There has been an increase in the traffi c on my street, and I suspect it’s be-cause a neighbor’s adult son has been selling drugs. Most of the cars are driven by young people who park for fi ve to 10 minutes at the most, and all of them walk around to the back of the house. Hypodermic needles have been found in the street.

Should I talk to the police and risk alienating my neighbors, or should I keep quiet because I have no defi nite proof? I don’t think the parents would believe me if I told them; they seem to think their child can do no wrong. Also, if I do fi le a police report and they fi nd out, I’m afraid they will retaliate. Help! -- NOT SURE WHAT TO DO

DEAR NOT SURE: Don’t keep quiet. It’s important that the police be notifi ed before the problem becomes worse. Call your local anonymous tip line and report where you have seen the suspicious activity and the needles. No personal infor-mation from you will be asked, and your privacy will be pro-tected.

DEAR ABBY: I had some time to think over the summer, and came to the realization that a baby my girlfriend had almost 30 years ago may be

my daughter. “Sally” and I had a very intense, but shor t - l i ved relationship that blew up. About a year later we met again for lunch at the behest of a mutual friend.

I don’t re-member the details, but I do remember searching for an accurate way to compliment her. Because she had put on weight, the best I could come up with was “you look good.” She didn’t hit me, but the con-versation went downhill from there. Sally mentioned as we were parting that she had given birth to a daughter. I haven’t heard from her since.

I don’t want to create prob-lems for anybody, but I’m curi-ous. I’m happily married and plan to stay that way. At the same time, I’d welcome having a daughter.

I have thought about sending cheek swabs and a check-off DNA test to the child along with a note suggesting she send our samples in for testing. But that could destroy whatever story she may have grown up with.

I’m at a loss here. I could use some advice from an outside authority. What do you think I should do? -- BLOCKHEAD IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR B.H.: It’s been 30 years. The “child” is a woman now. Before you risk starting WWIII, why not contact the mother and ask if you are her daughter’s father, because it’s possible that you AREN’T.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 20 years old and have never dated any-one. I have a lot of friends and do well in school and at work, and I try to be a good, kind, friendly person.

What can I do to make myself datable? Am I missing some crucial step in how to become a girlfriend? -- OLD MAID IN ST. LOUIS

DEAR OLD MAID: Because I have never met you in person, I can’t tell you what you might be doing that relegates you to the “only as a friend” category. However, some of your guy friends might be able to tell you. And you should also solicit some tips from your girlfriends.

Suspected trafficking causes concern in quiet cul-de-sac

Daily Corinthian • Friday, December 27, 2013 • 11A

Let me offer a sugges-tion if you have looked around your house this Christmas season and en-joyed the poinsettias but wished for a little variety. Next year, bring home some cyclamen to deco-rate your living area over the winter.

Cyclamen is a great indoor plant with a long blooming period that produces loads of colorful fl owers.

Its traditional fl ower colors range from red to pink and white, making it ideal for Christmas deco-rating. But some of the most attractive colors are the soft pastels of pink and purple, which can put a twist on your holi-day decorating.

The nodding fl ow-ers of cyclamen have swept-back petals held on straight stems above the foliage. The cordate or heart-shaped leaves have varying patterns of silver and gray, which is another highly attractive feature of cyclamen.

Cyclamen like lots of bright, indirect light when grown indoors.

Be sure to keep yours away from heating vents. Cyclamen like high hu-midity, so low humid-ity caused by the house’s heating system can be a problem during the win-ter. Work around this problem by keeping your cyclamen container on a layer of pebbles in a tray fi lled with water. Never place the container di-

rectly in the wa-ter as this w o u l d overwater the plant.

If you like the plant so much you want to see if every-where, try

some cyclamen in con-tainers. Cyclamen like temperatures in the 40 to 60 degree range, which means we can grow them outdoors for much of the Mississippi winter. Colorful containers ar-ranged by the front door can cheerfully greet visi-tors. And since you grow them in containers, you can whisk them indoors if a spell of cold weather moves in.

Watering is the big-gest problem most home gardeners have growing cyclamen successfully. Avoid overwatering at all costs. Always wait for the potting mix to feel dry to the touch, and then water thoroughly around the outside of the container. Never pour water directly on the crown of your cy-clamen, as this can en-courage crown rot. Place the container in the sink to allow it to drain com-pletely before you put it back out for decoration.

Although cyclamen look great through the winter, as the weather be-gins to warm, the leaves will start to turn to yellow

eventually. Many garden-ers take this as the signal to throw the plant away and buy a new one next fall, but the adventurous gardener can try to keep it all year and get it to bloom again next winter.

If you want to try to get your cyclamen to bloom a second time, stop wa-tering the yellowing fo-liage, allow it to wither,

and let the potting media dry out. After a couple of months, repot the tuber in a slightly larger con-tainer, keeping half of the tuber above the pot-ting mix. Resist the urge to water the transplant. In the fall when tempera-tures fall, new leaves will start to sprout. Now you can water your cyclamen well.

So if all this talk of cy-clamens has made you want to try your own, here are a few tips for choosing a cyclamen at the garden center. Select one that has just a few fl owers open, leaving the majority to bloom after you bring it home. Make sure the fl ower stems are standing straight and have lots of fl owers buds

hiding under the foliage.Next fall, add some

cyclamen to your home decorating scheme, and enjoy the variety this col-orful plant will bring.

LOS ANGELES — If Meals on Wheels didn’t deliver donated dog food, Sherry Scott of San Di-ego says her golden re-triever Tootie would be

eating the pasta, riblets and veggie wraps meant for her. But thanks to partnerships between the program for low-income seniors and pet groups across the country, fewer people and pets are going

hungry.After Meals on Wheels

volunteers noticed a growing number of clients giving their food away to their furry friends, they started working with shelters and other pet

groups to add free pet food to their meal deliver-ies. Those programs, rely-ing on donations and vol-unteers, have continued to grow in popularity as seniors began eating bet-ter, staying healthier and

worrying less about feed-ing their pets, one group said.

Meals on Wheels is just one organization serving people who are poor, dis-abled or elderly, but it has a vast reach. It has teamed

up with independently run pet partners in sev-eral states, but how many isn’t known, said Jenny Bertolette, spokeswoman for Meals on Wheels As-sociation of America in Alexandria, Va.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aar-on Rodgers has been cleared to return from a left collar-bone injury, just in time to start Sunday for the Packers against the Chicago Bears in a game to decide the NFC North title.

With no advance warning and little fanfare, the fran-chise quarterback received the long-awaited good news at the same time as the rest of his teammates Thursday.

“This is a fun day for me, but I think the focus needs to be on this game and the op-portunity we have to win the division,” Rodgers said.

Soon enough. But the spot-light for now is squarely on

the return of one of the NFL’s most irreplaceable players.

Green Bay (7-7-1) is 2-5-1 since Rodgers went down during the fi rst series of a 27-20 loss Nov. 4 to Chicago. The Packers have managed to hang on, with a shot to win a third straight division title with a victory Sunday at Sol-dier Field.

“I’ll start with the an-nouncement that we’re pre-paring for the Chicago Bears with Aaron Rodgers as our starting quarterback,” coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Thursday after practice.

Win and Green Bay returns to Lambeau Field the follow-ing weekend to host a wild-card team in the fi rst round of

the playoffs.“We’re in it. You know we

have a chance against our ri-vals, and what a better way than to go down there and get some redemption and host a home playoff game,” Rodgers said.

The last two months have been fi lled with angst for Packers fans. Discussions about whether Rodgers should risk future injury or return to bolster Green Bay’s playoff chances have fi lled sports talk radio shows and holiday offi ce parties.

Now imagine what it was like for the Packers’ brass and team doctor. The organiza-tion made a big investment in Rodgers this past offseason,

signing him to a fi ve-year contract extension through the 2019 season worth as much as $110 million.

“Every football player that plays in this game Sunday will have risk. I think we all understand that,” McCar-thy said. “So we’ve done our due diligence. We’ve gone through all the evaluations and we feel it is time. Aaron is ready to play.”

Finally at 8:05 a.m. Thurs-day, McCarthy gave the of-fi cial word at a team meet-ing. No rousing speeches or rounds of applause.

“The scene? We were sitting in the team room and he told us,” Rodgers said matter-of-factly. “That was the scene.”

CLINTON — Mississippi College has hired John Bland as its next football coach.

The school announced the hiring on Thursday.

Bland succeeds Norman Joseph who resigned in November as head football coach at Mississippi Col-lege after nine seasons.

Bland had been head coach at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky., for the past eight seasons. Bland led the Patri-ots to the NAIA playoffs six times, including a 13-1 season and a trip to the national championship game in 2013.

Overall, Bland posted a 70-21 mark and won the Mid-South Con-ference championship fi ve times.

Joseph became the Choctaws’ coach in 2004 and led them to a 9-3 record and the American South-west Conference championship in 2009. Joseph had a career record of 63-70 as a head coach.

BOONEVILLE — The life of a Northeast Mississippi Com-munity College softball play-er is more than just weights, strength and conditioning, running, practices, games and academics.

It is about learning how to become a well-round person in the span of two years, and that is what Jody Long has instilled in the Tigers over the last decade.

For his successful efforts to the local community and longstanding track record of service, the Booneville chap-ter of the Boys & Girls Club of America honored Long and his team on Wednesday, November 13 at the East Side Park Community Center in-side Sunfl ower Park.

“Anytime we can be hon-ored it’s a huge day,” said Long, Northeast’s ninth-year head coach. “But we don’t do this to be honored. We want to be very involved in giving back to our community.

“It’s huge anytime we can teach our kids to give back to young people. Our job in this is to create some kind of background of giving back not only now but as they en-ter adulthood.”

A Northeast softball player is involved in the neighbor-hood on average almost 10 times in a year’s span and will participate in approximately

20 service events during their time as Tigers.

A typical year starts out with the annual Booneville Kiwanis Club Christmas Pan-cake Breakfast on the fi rst Saturday in December. In just over six hours, the squad is in charge of planning entertain-ment for those involved and serving the approximately 500 people that come to re-ceive a hot meal.

During the 2009-10 aca-

demic year, former Tigers Danielle Frederick (Wheeler) and Taylor Moore (Bruce) sang Christmas carols, helped Santa Claus out and put on a puppet show for those in at-tendance.

Long does not get out of duty either as the veteran mentor cooks pancakes for three hours at the event.

Moore pointed out that it was more than just feeding breakfast that was rewarding

during the activity.“It was heartbreaking to

see the kids coming in there needing a coat but it was grat-ifying to know that we were helping them out,” Moore said. “They thought we were super cool because we were softball players.”

Northeast also joins with the Make-A-Wish Founda-tion of the Mid-South to help

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Flor-ida is turning to Duke’s Kurt Roper to improve the South-eastern Conference’s worst offense.

Coach Will Muschamp is counting on Roper’s previous success in the league and his experience with an up-tempo scheme to get it done.

Muschamp announced Roper’s hire Thursday, three days after he agreed to take the job.

“He has a diverse, up-tem-po background on offense and does a good job of adapting to what the players do best,” Muschamp said. “The most important thing, though, is he has always remained bal-

anced. He has had success calling plays in the SEC and has tutored three NFL quar-terbacks. He has had players produce at every offensive position and he is one of the most well-respected coaches in the country.”

Roper is leaving the same position at Duke. He also was an assistant head coach with the Blue Devils.

Roper spent hours inter-viewing for the job with Mus-champ on Monday. He will remain with Duke through the Chick-fi l-A Bowl on Tues-day night.

The Gators (4-8) are com-ing off their fi rst losing sea-son since 1979. Muschamp wants to overhaul the offense

after three consecutive years ranked worse than 100th nationally in total yards. Muschamp fi red offensive coordinator Brent Pease and offensive line coach Tim Da-vis less than 24 hours after the season ended.

Duke coach David Cutcliffe said Roper’s coaching style includes “intensity, tempo and quality of repetition.”

“From the minute they hit the fi eld, it’s going to be intense,” Cutcliffe said. “I wouldn’t call him a laid-back football coach by any stretch of the imagination. It’s going to be what we call treat the ground like a hot stove. If you hit the ground, you better get up running. And you know by

the time they get on the fi eld until they get off, they’re go-ing to be moving and getting a bunch of quality reps so I would call it very intense.”

An 18-year coaching vet-eran, Roper spent six seasons as Duke’s offensive coordina-tor. He has 14 years of experi-ence coaching quarterbacks, including working with NFL quarterbacks Eli Manning (N.Y. Giants), Sean Renfree (Atlanta Falcons) and Thad-deus Lewis (Buffalo Bills).

He inherits an offense that features mobile quarterback Jeff Driskel and plenty of running back depth, but also includes a woeful offensive line and few playmakers on the perimeter.

grant a wish for children in need in the Prentiss County area.

One of the biggest proj-ects that the Tigers un-dertook was construct-ing a life-sized playhouse for a three-year-old with leukemia on December 5, 2009.

Sara Beth Howell (Booneville) and Leslie Hendrix (Kossuth) head-ed up Northeast’s effort that included covering the inside of the playhouse with Hannah Montana décor and the placement of a toy stove and a kara-oke machine for the child to use.

Howell and Hendrix both said that it felt good to make someone else’s Christmas.

“The look on her face was worth all the hard work that went into build-ing that playhouse,” How-ell said. “We felt that all the hard work that we put in as a team paid off.”

“Knowing that we made that little girl’s wish come true will stay with me for the rest of my life,” Hen-

drix said.Northeast gets into the

giving spirit around the holidays. Instead of buy-ing presents for each oth-er, the Tigers adopt a lo-cal family to give children a chance to share in the magic of Christmas.

The squad provided toys for the youngsters along with presents for the parents and clothing to make sure the fam-ily was warm through the holiday season.

In 2007, the Tigers joined with the legendary Kay Bain of WTVA’s “Kay Bain’s Saturday Mornin’ Show” as she helped pro-vide warm blankets to Prentiss County residents that needed them.

Long’s group added another entry onto their social resume when they entered a fl oat in the 2010 City of Booneville Christ-mas Parade.

Northeast’s fl oat was entirely softball player generated and built. Long served as Santa Claus and Hendrix was picked to serve as Mrs. Claus while other team members sat around an open fi re pit

telling stories of Christ-mas.

In addition to its holi-day-related community service, the Tigers rou-tinely travel to area men-tal health facilities and nursing homes to sing to in-bound patients.

Northeast continues its philanthropic tradition throughout the spring se-mester by hosting its an-nual StrikeOut for Cancer doubleheader, the fi rst of three service events held on the softball diamond.

The 2012 edition of the event saw current Ti-ger assistant coach Jaisa Emerson throw a perfect game against Mississippi Delta Community Col-lege. Erin Dixson, now at NCAA Division II Eckerd College, tossed a no-hitter in the nightcap.

Two softball competi-tions hosted by Northeast, the Racin’ Round Boonev-ille/Make-a-Wish Foun-dation Tournament and the David Carnell Schol-arship Fund Tournament, are held at the beginning of summer also.

All proceeds from both events are donated to

the respective organiza-tions the tournaments are named after.

Booneville Boys & Girls Club director Angelique Jumper felt it necessary to let the young girls of her institution see the Northeast team be rec-ognized and allow them to interact with a group dedicated to helping in any way they can.

“It’s real important be-cause that lets the girls see a variety of people that’s given back to the

community from differ-ent age groups,” she said. “It helps them to under-stand more why we’re do-ing this.”

One current Tiger that has witnessed fi rst-hand the service of Long while growing up is Bre Agnew. The freshman participat-ed in the Booneville Boys & Girls Club as a child and is now returning the favor to by being a part of these projects at Northeast.

“This is important es-pecially for me growing

up around here,” said Agnew. “It feels great coming back and under-standing the reason for giving back to the com-munity.”

Overall, Long and the Tigers hope to make a positive impact in the lives of as many people as they possibly can.

“Just to see a smile on somebody’s face,” said the longtime coach. “If we can brighten somebody’s day, then it’s been a job well accomplished.”

Worship Call

Many of us will awaken on Christmas morning looking for some item that we are expecting or something earthly that our heart is set on. Most of us will have given in-structions or innuendos letting someone know what would be good for us and satisfying to our needs. This will be a time when our desires will most likely be met and it seems that the world has given in to our every need.

Even though our Christmas morning will be a happy time and gifts will be abundant we must remember that not every-one will have the same luxuries that we enjoy.

For many Christmas Day will be just anoth-er day with no frills, no merriment, and no gifts. For these, this will be just another or-

dinary day with no signifi -cant meaning to it.

There will be some that cannot enjoy the fruits of Christmas because of lit-tle or no money. There are many in this world that cannot have gifts for this special holiday because of other family needs such as food, housing,

etc. Then there are many who won’t enjoy the fruits of this holiday because of religious or non-religious beliefs. There are various reasons for not having, giving, or receiving gifts this or any Christmas sea-son.

Most of us will put self-ish desires ahead of needs and do not remember the real reason for the season. All of us, that are Chris-tians and Believers, know for certain that anything we receive on this earth will not be with us forev-er. The only promise we have is our eternal home given to us, as a gift, by the Lord Jesus when He gave of Himself on the

cross to save us from our sins.

The great Reverend Bil-ly Graham once penned that “a gift is not a gift unless it is accepted. God does not force His gift on us, but He asks us to re-ceive by faith the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.”

It is our responsibility to share the good news of Christ to everyone around us. This is something tru-ly amazing that everyone can share and not lose the gift they have been given and accepted.

Giving gifts for Christ-mas is nothing new. Giv-ing gifts at any time is nothing new. Giving gifts is told to us all through

the Bible especially the one told to us in John 3:16.

Giving and receiving gifts at Christmas is a tre-mendous opportunity of showing love, gratitude, and friendliness however not everyone will be so fortunate. All of us need to look around us and see the need of others search-ing for hope, charity, and most of all love. To these people we need to show compassion and give of ourselves to help some-one enjoy the Christmas-es on earth but we need to tell them of the saving grace that only Christ can give.

Prayer: Thank you Lord

for the precious gift of your Son. Thank you for my personal assurance of spending eternity with you. Amen.

The greatest of all Christmas gifts

Gary AndrewsDevotionals

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis offered Christ-mas wishes Wednes-day for a better world, praying for protection for Christians under at-tack, battered women and traffi cked children, peace in the Middle East and Africa, and dignity for refugees fl eeing mis-ery and confl ict around the globe.

Francis delivered the traditional “Urbi et Orbi” (Latin for “to the city and to the world”) speech from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to more than 70,000 cheer-ing tourists, pilgrims and Romans in the square be-low.

In his first Christmas message since being elected pontiff in March, he asked for all to share in the song of Christmas angels, “for every man or woman ... who hopes for a better world, who cares for others,” hum-bly.

Among places ravaged by confl ict, Francis sin-gled out Syria, which saw its third Christmas during civil war; South Sudan; the Central African Re-public; Nigeria; and Iraq.

In Iraq on Wednes-day, militants targeted Christians in two attacks, including a bomb that exploded near a church during Christmas Mass in Baghdad. The separate bombings killed dozens of people.

The Vatican has been trying to raise concern in the world for persecution and attacks on Christians in parts of the Middle East and Africa.

“Lord of life, protect all who are persecuted in your name,” Francis said.

Adding an off-the-cuff remark, Francis said he was also inviting non-be-lievers to join their desire for peace with everyone else.

The pope also prayed that God “bless the land where you chose to come into the world and grant a favorable outcome to

the peace talks between Israelis and Palestin-ians.”

Francis then explained his concept of peace.

“True peace is not a balancing of opposing forces. It’s not a lovely fa-cade which conceals con-fl icts and divisions,” the pope said. “Peace calls for daily commitment,” Francis said, reading the pages of his speech as they were ruffl ed by a chilly wind.

Francis also spoke of the lives of everyday people, especially those struggling for a better life.

Recalling the hundreds of migrants who have drowned this year while trying to reach European shores, including many close to the Italian island of Lampedusa, Francis prayed that refugees re-ceive hope, consolation and assistance.

He added that “our thoughts turn to those children who are the most vulnerable victims of wars, but we think, too, of the elderly, of bat-tered women” and oth-ers.

The 77-year-old pope kept to the simple style he has set for his pa-pacy. Wearing a plain white cassock, Francis presented a sharp con-trast in appearance to the pope who stood on the same balcony on Christmas exactly a year ago. Then Benedict XVI, who was soon to stun the world by retiring, read his Christmas speech while dressed in a crim-son, ermine-trimmed cape. Benedict lives on the Vatican grounds, and Francis paid a holiday call on him earlier this week.

In another break with tradition, the Ar-gentine-born Francis stuck to Italian for his Christmas greetings, forsaking a custom of wishing happy holidays in dozens of languages to the crowd below the balcony.

Pope wishes for a better world

The Associated Press

WEST MONROE, La. — “Faith. Family. Ducks.” It’s the unoffi cial motto for the family featured in the TV reality show Duck Dynasty and that home-spun philosophy perme-ates nearly everything in this small north Louisi-ana town.

It’s perhaps most on display at the White’s Ferry Road Church of Christ in West Monroe, where the Robertson family prays and preach-es most Sunday morn-ings.

The family — including patriarch Phil Robertson, who ignited a contro-versy last week when he told a magazine reporter that gays are sinners and African-Americans were happy under Jim Crow laws — were in a front pew this past Sunday. And standing by beliefs they say are deeply root-ed in their reading of the Bible.

The rest of the fl ock, decked out in Duck Dy-nasty hats and bandan-nas, stood by the family and the sentiments Phil Robertson expressed.

Alan, Robertson’s el-dest son, helped deliver a Christmas-themed ser-mon. He started off by referring to last week’s controversy.

“Hope your week went well,” he dead-panned. “Ours was kinda’ slow.”

He was referring, of course, to Phil’s forced hiatus: TV network A&E suspended Phil last week after remarks about blacks and gays caused a public uproar.

But the controver-sy barely resonated above the organ music at White’s Ferry Road Church. Son Willie — the CEO of the mul-timillion dollar Duck Commander duck call and decoy enterprise that inspired reality show producers to give the family a show — put

on camoufl age wader overalls and baptized three people, including one man with cancer.

“Who’s going to be the lord of your life?” he asked, before dipping the man back into the bap-tismal pool at the front of the church.

To the people of West Monroe, this is the Rob-ertson family: honest, family-focused and fi lled with the love of God and Jesus. It’s the family that brought the spotlight to West Monroe, popula-tion 13,000, and in do-ing so put in sharp relief the cultural, political and religious differences that defi ne — and often divide — America.

Folks here don’t care that Phil Robertson told a GQ reporter that gays are sinners who are going to hell. Or that as a youth he picked cotton with African-Americans and never saw “the mistreat-ment of any black person. Not once.”

They do care that A&E suspended Phil. The move, they say, was un-fair and an affront to viewers, to the Robert-sons and to Christians everywhere.

“The program and his comments take a snap-shot and it doesn’t repre-sent the totality of what the guy is all about,” said Richard Laban, the owner of Redneck Roots, a downtown West Mon-roe store that sells some ‘Duck Dynasty’ T-shirts and souvenirs.

“A&E reacted entirely too quickly,” added La-ban. “They really treated Phil as if he was a terror-ist.”

With its lakes and roll-ing hills and pine forests, West Monroe in northern Louisiana is Duck Coun-try USA, a place where Robertson and his four sons built an empire on duck call devices and de-coys before becoming wildly popular TV stars.

In ‘Duck Dynasty’ hometown local loyalty wins out

The Associated PressST. LOUIS — Pastor Mike Butzberger insists he only had holiday spirit in mind when his Florida church’s marquee read, “Christmas — Easier to spell than Hanukkah.”

But after a passer-by told him she found the message offensive and a local television sta-tion inquired about it, the Lighthouse Baptist Church preacher hustled to blunt any uproar by begrudgingly changing the sign to: “Jesus Loves You.”

“By no means would I as human or Christian ever put anything on the sign with the intention of hurting or insulting,” Butzberger told The As-sociated Press from his church in North Palm Beach, Fla. “The purpose of the sign is to draw people to God, which is, in our ‘business,’ what we’re selling.”

Welcome to the chal-lenge for pastors eager to update the age-old prac-tice of luring in worship-pers with messages on marquees out front of the church. Long the place for Gospel quotes and Christmas Eve sermon hours, now the signs are often clever, pithy or fun-ny. But pastors are fi nd-ing that joking about re-ligion is serious business, and it’s easy to cross a line.

When Darrin Lee launched his suburban Detroit church six years ago, he had just 11 mem-bers, a rickety old build-ing and a plywood board marquee. The sign was replaced, thanks to a benefactor’s $5,000 do-nation, with a roadside one Lee now uses for slo-gans he credits for help-ing his Cornerstone Bap-tist Church fl ock grow to more than 100.

“I think that sign add-ed life to this church, saying, ‘Hey, we’re up to date. We’re not some old relic church,’” he said

from his church, which is passed daily by about 45,000 vehicles. “When you look at other church-es with marquees that don’t put up messages, I think they’re missing the boat.”

Though he has hit a few bumps. One of his slogans — “Don’t Let Worry Kill You. Let The Church Help” — made the rounds on Facebook and Twitter, leaving him to offer the obliga-tory confi rmation that “obviously we’re not in the killing business.” One caller wanted to chat about evolution after his marquee read, “If Man Came From Apes, Why Do We Still Have Apes.”

Dozens of websites and social media sites collect pictures of church signage, celebrating those that seem to work — “Many Who Seek God at the Eleventh Hour Die at 10:30” — or panning others, such as, “Stop, Drop and Roll Doesn’t Work in Hell.”

Some even inspired books. Pam Paulson and her husband, Steve, took a four-year, 122,000-mile trek through all 50 states to chronicle inter-esting church marquees after noticing the chang-ing signs at two churches near their Florida home. With a van full of hun-dreds of maps, it was a slow go after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, with churches seldom straying from patriotic themes. But around the middle of the decade, Pam Paulson said, clev-erer messages began emerging.

“A lot of people we talked to thought it was just a good way to get people to at least ac-knowledge their church. It was true,” the 59-year-old Methodist said. “We weren’t looking for the humorous, but they were always the ones that caught our attention.”

Church signs take a gamble getting hip with quips
