Suspects arrested in burglariesBy SUE WATSON

Staff WriterTwo suspects have been arrested

in connection with burglaries inMarshall and Benton counties,according to sheriff KennyDickerson.

He said leads developed in the casefollowing tips about a 1990s modelgrey Mercury Grand Marquis thathad been seen at one of the burglar-

ized residences in Benton County.Subsequently, all patrols were placedon high alert to look for a vehiclematching the description, Dickersonsaid.

Benton County authorities spotteda car matching the description goingtowards Potts Camp, but lost pursuit.

“We knew they would come outsomewhere near Potts Camp,” thesheriff said. “So we sent officers, and

one deputy observed a vehicle match-ing the description stuck in the back-yard of a residence.”

By the time deputies turnedaround and went back to the resi-dence, the vehicle had been pushedout of the backyard by an unawareresident in Potts Camp.

Deputies said the back window ofthe residence on Bypass Street,where the car was stuck, had been

shattered.The suspects were arrested and

taken into custody by MarshallCounty authorities.

Roger Lee Cowan Jr., 23, of the 100block of Martin Street in HollySprings, remained in the MarshallCounty jail under $1 million bond,Dickerson said.

The potential to convertHolly Springs service vehi-cles over to natural gas fuelwas discussed at a recentmeeting of the mayor andboard of aldermen.

Don Hollingsworth, gener-al manager of the HollySprings Utility Department,briefed the board on a recentseminar on the topic whichwas attended by city employ-ees and the mayor.

He said the TennesseeValley Authority is pushingelectric cars while gas pro-ducers are pushing naturalgas-fueled vehicles.

The cost to convert a vehi-cle over to natural gas is

about $10,000 a vehicle,Hollingsworth said. The needfor a filling station is also aproblem. The city would haveto set up a gas station or hopethat a business would do so.Once converted over, thevehicle would cost an equiva-lent of $1.30 cents a gallon ascompared to gasoline ordiesel fuels.

Natural gas is put under600-700 pounds of pressureper square inch whilepropane is under less pres-sure.

Evan Victor Hankins1952-2013

Evan Victor Hankins, 61, of Pensacola,Fla., passed away suddenly on Monday,December 16, 2013.

Evan was born in Holly Springs, onMarch 11, 1952 to James B. and LorraineEvans Hankins. When he was 5 his dadbought him a plastic guitar at the “GoldenRule” five and dime. He was immediatelyhooked. In the late ’60s he really enjoyed playing the bass injazz bands, rock bands, and his favorite soul bands. Themost memorable for Evan was “Blue-Eyed Soul,” a full 10piece band, horns and all. In the early ’70s he played inMontage, a great club band in Memphis, Tenn. For Evan, asall musicians know, the dreams of a music career never dieand the music within always finds a way! Evan loved to sharehis talent of music and had even created his own soloalbums. He was most passionate about music with a countryflair. Gigi, his wife, would even say, he could make an “ItalianOpera” sound country!

His sense of humor was second to none and could put asmile on even a stranger’s face. He cared for all the womenin his life with the utmost strength, love and, above all,patience. Every quality about Evan is the stuff legends aremade of. He could fix any issue with computers, home andthe heart. His advice always panned out because he trulycared about the outcome of the people he loved. He has setthe highest bar for the men in his daughters’ lives!

Evan was a graduate of the University of SouthernMississippi. His “real job,” as Evan put it, was as a systemsanalyst. He was also a member of the Nashville SongwritersAssociation International. He truly was “One of a Kind” andan amazing husband, father, brother and kickass musician!

Evan is preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, AnnRussell and Dolly Shaw; and his brother, Jim Hankins Jr.

Forestry in Mississippi isan important component tothe overall state economy.Forestry has long been thesecond most valuable com-modity in the state behind thepoultry industry, until soy-beans moved ahead in the lasttwo years due to high prices.But forestry is still a billion-dollar industry in Mississippi.According to 2012 statistics,forestry is the number-threecommodity in the state, andMississippi ranks third nation-wide for pulpwood produc-tion.

According to MississippiState University (MSU)Extension Forest EconomistJames Henderson, the totalcombined impact of forestry-related employment account-ed for 4.3 percent of all jobs inMississippi in 2010. The aver-age annual wage in forestry-related occupations was$45,183. That is $5,897 morethan the state average. Thetotal impact of the forest prod-ucts industry to theMississippi economy alsoamounted to $10.38 billion intotal industry output, $3.95 bil-lion in value-added and 2.63billion wages and salaries. Inpercentage terms, this repre-sents 5.8 percent to totalindustry output, 4.7 of value-added and 4.5 percent ofwages and salaries for theentire economy ofMississippi.

This considerable econom-ic impact is dependent uponthe ability to harvest andtransport timber products tosawmills and the value-addedproduction facilities. In 2010,the year of the previouslydescribed economic impactstudy, Mississippi harvestedand delivered over $1.1 billionharvested and delivered$1.1billion in timber products.The value of that harvest andassociated processing into for-est products made forestryand forest products $10.4 bil-lion industry for the state ofMississippi.

But for so many people,forestry is an afterthought inthe agricultural sense. Manypeople view forestry as a sepa-rate entity entirely. Justbecause the pine trees andhardwoods are not plantedand harvested in the sameyear does not mean thatforestry is not an agriculturalpractice. Many landownersfall into this same trap.Forestry is a forgotten crop attimes until a hurricane, torna-do or ice storm wreaks havocacross a stand of timber.Mississippi has over19,600,000 acres of forestlandacross the state, with 125,000landowners. Mississippi forestlandowners pay an estimated

$74 million in ad valoremtaxes annually. Timber sever-ance taxes for 2012 were $3.5million.

The problem is that themajority of the forest landown-ers are not dependent upontheir timber for a livelihood.These stands are viewedstrictly as a retirement incomeor emergency fund. Morelandowners need to be awareof the struggles that the tim-ber industry faces. By becom-ing more involved inMississippi Farm BureauFederation, these landownerscan help build a stronger voicefor Mississippi forestry.

Forestry faces an uphillbattle every day. When coun-ties have problems with theroads, the first group to getthe blame is the log trucks.Never mind that the graveltrucks and cement trucksrunning the same roads as thelog trucks are putting thesame stress on the roads.When counties take steps tomake loggers put up higherbonds, this decreases thevalue of the timber in thatcounty. The loggers cannotpay the same stumpage pricesas other counties when thecost of doing business is high-er due to the county regula-tions.

Many of these counties tryto single out forestry as notbeing an agricultural product.It is for this reason thatlandowner involvement is socrucial. Mississippi FarmBureau Federation is thelargest general farm organiza-tion in the state and dependson the leadership of its mem-bers to protect and create anenvironment where farmers,

ranchers, landowners andother members can have abetter life and make a betterliving. That last part is why itis so crucial to speak out andhave your voice heard.

When counties and munic-ipalities put unwarranted reg-ulations on the forestry indus-try, this affects the bottom lineof many landowners in thestate. Your voice and involve-ment in the Mississippi FarmBureau Federation policydevelopment process has theability to help many otherlandowners facing the sameproblems.

Forestry contributes some-thing to the majority of thecounties in Mississippi. It ishigh time that the Mississippipublic accepted forestry as anagricultural enterprise.Without forestry inMississippi, many towns andcommunities would not existnor prosper. Without forestryin Mississippi, people wouldhave to look to other sourcesof lumber to build homes,paper to take notes in class orat work and other means oftransferring electricity.Forestry in Mississippiemploys many people andprovides tax revenue to thecounties, municipalities andstate.

Without the forestry indus-try, Mississippi would be a fardifferent state. Rememberwhat forestry does and howmuch we depend on the forestlandowners of the state thenext time you complain aboutroads or you are behind a logtruck. Just sit back andadmire one of Mississippi’sfinest agricultural products onyour way down the road.

I received an e-mail this week from acolleague. It was titled “Why Santa isEvil.”

I was a bit shocked. I am kind of fondof the jolly old fellow myself. It made meaware for the first time just how manypeople deeply resent the commercializa-tion of Christmas.

Having been a lifelong supporter ofSanta and since he is far too busy rightnow to respond personally, I feel it is myobligation to take up his defense. So Iwill answer each allegation the best Ican.

1. Santa places materialism above thetrue reason for the holiday. We live in amaterial world. God created this materi-al world. He didn’t give us physical life tosuffer. He gave us life so we could live itabundantly. The point is not to disavowthe material world, but simply to keep itin its proper perspective and not tomake idols of our material possessions.

2. Santa teaches that you don’t haveto work to get things. Some jolly fat manwill come in and give it to you. Thiswould be called grace. When the suc-cessful rich man asked Jesus what hecould do to earn his way into heaven,Jesus told him it was easier for a camelto walk through the eye of a needle thanfor a rich man to earn his way into heav-en. You don’t “earn” your way into heav-en. It is given to you by the grace of God.It is a gift, just like the gifts from Santa.We try to be good because we loveSanta and want to please him, but weinevitably fail. But Santa forgives us andbrings us toys on Christmas anyway.This unconditional love inspires us to

try even harderto be good.This themeshould soundfamiliar toChristians.

3. Santateaches chil-dren theyshould begood for somereward ratherthan because it’s simply the correctthing to do. Every kid knows he’s beenbad just as every man knows he is a sin-ner. Yet we are still rewarded with eter-nal blessings just because we believe.This teaches us the fundamental truth ofChristianity - it is not earned throughgood works but given to us even thoughwe don’t deserve it. This is why kidslove Santa. He comes on Christmas any-way because they believe.

4. Santa teaches poor children thatalthough they have been good all yearthey still get nothing, yet the child whohas been a brat all year at school butwho has parents of means gets all thetoys in the world. Shows Santa, if real, isquite unfair and not up to the hype. AsPaul said, not one of us is worthy. Paulreferred to himself as the chief of sin-ners. There is not one child out therewho has been good all year long. As forrich kids getting more presents, thatdoesn’t bring them more joy. KingSolomon, who had everything, lament-ed that none of it mattered. All glorywent to God. All his possessions werenothing more than dust.

5. Teaches children, once they real-ize Santa is a hoax, that it is OK to lie –their parents lied to them for yearsabout Santa. I am completely lost on thisone. Santa a hoax? Who perpetuatessuch nonsense? I am 55 years old and Ican guarantee you that Santa Claus isreal. First of all, I have seen Santa oninnumerable occasions with my owneyes. As a child, I sat in his lap manytimes and told him what I wanted forChristmas. He pretty much deliveredevery time. I never got everything Iwanted but I always got far more than Ideserved. Just last week, I saw Santa atHighland Village. Who are these peoplethat go around talking like Santa is notreal? Are they blind? He’s all over theplace - in magazines, television, the Web,in movies and newspapers. Apparentlysome people just don’t get out verymuch.

When Jesus commanded his disci-ples to spread the good news, he toldthem to use salt and light. Paul also ref-erenced salt, imploring Christians toseason their words with salt.

Salt is a spice. It spices up food, mak-ing the food more enjoyable to eat. Lightilluminates, making a dark world brightand full of color.

Santa adds salt and light to Christmasfor our children. Santa makes this timeof celebrating the birth of Jesus morefun, more colorful. If there is one funda-mental aspect to Santa Claus, it is that ofunearned gifts. Is not that the essence ofChristianity?

God tried making a list and checking

As I’ve written before over the years,the newspaper business taught me oneinescapable fact – for all the joy theChristmas season brings, it also bringsfor some a measure of regret and sad-ness.

First and foremost, the Christmasseason carries with it an increased inci-dence of death. During my more thanthree decades in the newspaper busi-ness, I learned that fact simply by see-ing the increase in the number of obitu-aries we published during the holidays.

But more than that anecdotal obser-vation, it’s a scientific fact. An analysis ofmortality rates during different times ofyear found that people are more likelyto die during the holidays andresearchers cannot explain the annualspike.

A study conducted by threeUniversity of California at San Diegosociologists – David Phillips,Gwendolyn Barker and KimberlyBrewer – reported in an article in thejournal “Social Science & Medicine”that mortality in general rises duringthe Christmas season.

Specifically, the sociologists analyzedall U.S. death certificates over the 25-year period between 1979 and 2004 andidentified an excess of 42,325 naturaldeaths – that is, above and beyond thenormal seasonal winter increase – inthe two weeks starting with Christmas.One of the key findings of the study wasthat more people die in hospital emer-gency rooms, or arrive dead on arrival,on Christmas and New Year’s Day thanon any other days of the year.

Phillips said the team’s analysis ofsome 57.5-million death certificatesgenerally shows the chance of dyingduring this holiday period increases

“ s o m e w h e r ebetween 3 per-cent and 9 per-cent, dependingon the demo-graphic groupyou’re lookingat, and some-where between 1percent and 10p e r c e n t ,depending onwhat cause ofdeath you’relooking at.”

As I noted in a prior column on thistopic, I had always thought that the“Christmas die” (as I came to call it witha lot of other hard-bitten reporters andeditors) was the result of people fight-ing to live to share just one moreChristmas with loved ones.

Seems the researchers nixed thattheory. The numbers don’t bear thatout, they said. Truth is, no one reallyknows why there’s an increase in thenumber of deaths during the holidays.

Then there are those for whom theholidays amplify loneliness, sorrow,homelessness, poverty and other cruelrealities of the human condition. Thereare few things sadder than fear, desper-ation and suffering during the holidays.

But as I get older, I realize that wehave allowed Christmas to becomesomething the holidays were neverintended to be. In the name of the cele-bration of the birth of Jesus Christ, weengage in an orgy of commercialismand consumption that evokes killingamounts of stress.

From “Black Friday” shopping riotsto the outdoor holiday decoration warsto trying to fill the outsized wish lists ofchildren and grandchildren to the traf-fic jams and shoulder-to-shoulderjostling in retail outlets, the joy ofChristmas tends to get lost or at leastgreatly obscured.

My own thoughts at this time ofyears turn as much or more to thosewho are absent at the expense – I fear –of fully enjoying my time with thosewho are present. But it is the arrival ofgrandchildren and children now thatlights the fires of Christmas in myheart.

So be careful out there this holidayseason – and take time to enjoy whatreally matters about Christmas. Thegreatest gifts are the presence offriends and loved ones, the laughter anddelight of children, the peace and grati-tude of old folks, and the promise of theseason – the promise of peace andgoodwill to men.

• I may have mentioned atime or two how much I enjoysewing and quilting, etc. Anytime I find a new pattern forjust about anything, I need tomake several.

A couple years ago, I founda pattern for a bag to cookpotatoes in the microwave.Since I have fabric with veryrealistic potatoes all over, itwas a match made in heaven.Well, a match made in mysewing room anyway.

I made bags for all of ushere at the newspaper. I alsomade one for my son, who, asa hermit, has a microwave inhis room on top of his refriger-ator.

I had to buy a newmicrowave last week.Granddaughter Remy wanteda baked potato and didn’t wantto wait for it to bake in theoven.

So, I whipped out themicrowave potato bag,showed her how it workedand we popped it in themicrowave. Then I went backto my sewing room.

In a couple minutes, Iheard Pop yelling from the liv-ing room that “something wasburning.”

My potato bag (and thepotato inside the bag) wassmoldering and sparking.

I used tongs, pulled thesmoking bag out of themicrowave, into a pan andthen carried it outside anddumped it on the concretecarport floor. It immediatelyburst into flames.

That was one very wet,very well done potato by thetime Remy had dumped waterall over the bag.

The coating on the insideof the microwave was peelingoff, so it went out the dooralso.

Come to find out, one ofthe bags I’d made for up hereburned up also.

Bonnie had used hers andit caught on fire in themicrowave.

I think that I’m throughwith new patterns that aremade as cooking vessels.

• I drove to Hamilton, Ala.,last week for Barry’s mom’sfuneral. I’ve been to Hamiltona couple of times -- JerryBrown’s Pottery is one of myfavorite places.

I’d never been any furtherinto Hamilton than the pot-tery studio, so I was fascinat-ed to see places that Barryhas talked about so often.

I think at some point I wasin or around Hackleburg,another of Barry’s story-telling places. And Mrs.Burleson’s funeral was in thechurch Barry grew up in.

I was very fortunate that acar with Marshall County tagswas in front of me after I goton Hwy. 278. I followed Fredand Patti Carlisle and hermom right to the church.

There was such a family,comforting feeling there.

It was a wonderful celebra-tion of Barry’s mom’s life!

How to catcha potato on fire

On November 6, I foundout my 83-year-old motherhad leukemia.

Her doctor said it could bea few months or a few years.

As we walked out of hisoffice that day, she burst intotears.

I put my arm around her,and she put her head on myshoulder. I could feel hertears. I held mine back.

“Mother, it’s going to beOK,” I said. “I love you.”

Suddenly, our roles hadreversed.

My dad died when I was10. For 42 years, Mother hadfilled the role of both parentsin my life. She had alwaysbeen “my rock.”

As she rode with me to anearby Tupelo restaurant thatevening, I had to be herencourager.

“Mother, stay positive,” Isaid. “We will make it throughthis together (including mysisters Vickie and Gayla andthe rest of the family). And nomatter what happens, it’s allgood because if anybody hasa ticket to Heaven, it’s you.”

Just five weeks later, onDecember 11 at about 10:55a.m., my mother died.

She had been hospitalizedsince being transported byambulance late Friday night,Dec. 6. I spent Saturday nightand Sunday with her.Although she was not fullyalert at times, it will be 24hours I will cherish forever.

We did what we enjoy mostwhen we’re together – watch-ing football on TV, talkingabout the grandchildren andthe great-grandson, theweather, my work and more.

I knew her condition hadgotten more serious, but atthe same time, I thought she’dperhaps be going home in afew days.

Then Tuesday morning,Dec. 10, Gayla called and Icould immediately tell by thetone of her voice that it wasn’tgood.

That afternoon, Pam and Irushed to Tupelo, where mysisters, brothers-in-law and Ispent the last hours with mymagnificent mom before shedied the next morning.

The celebration of herwonderful life was heldFriday, Dec. 13, at the BarnCreek Church of Christ inMarion County, Ala.

I appreciate all the flowers,cards, prayers and kind wordssince her passing.

Simply put, my mother wasthe best. She led by example.

First and foremost, sheloved the Lord. Her faith wasstrong. She raised us inchurch – on the words of theBible.

Secondly, she loved herfamily. All of us – we were herheart and soul. As each grand-child was born, a new glim-mer glowed in Nanny’s eyes.Then came a great-grandchildand a glimmer like no otherI’d ever seen.

Thirdly, she put all othersbefore herself, too. She caredfor the people of her small,rural community through heractions – as a Christianshould. She never spoke a badword about anyone – period –and in return, I never heard anegative word about her.

Her work ethic wasunmatched. After Daddy’sdeath, she provided for meand my sisters – working at agarment factory. I don’t knowhow she did it, but she did.I’m sure she did withoutthings she needed herself –for the betterment of her chil-dren. Just two weeks beforeher initial hospital stay inOctober, she was still mowingher own yard.

My mother made the bestbanana pudding and the bestchicken and dressing.

This Christmas, we willcarry on the tradition of ourfamily gathering in Alabama.

But “our rock” will be miss-ing.

On December 18, the Senatepassed the budget agreement intro-duced by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.),who chair the Senate and Housebudget committees, respectively.On one hand, the bipartisanship ofthe agreement is commendable,given that the federal governmenthas failed to adopt a budget for thepast four years. But the Murray-Ryandeal contains a fatal flaw in its provi-sion to cut military retirement bene-fits. My strong opposition stems fromthis broken promise to our men and women in uniform.

During the Senate’s consideration of the budget agreement,several of my Republican colleagues joined me in introducingan amendment to restore the full retirement pay of current andfuture military retirees. Under the budget deal, cuts wouldreduce annual cost-of-living adjustments for military retireepensions by one percent. Unlike current federal workers, whowere spared from similar treatment, service members areunfairly singled out.

According to the Military Officers Association of America,the adjustment would have a significant impact on the lives ofthose who have dedicated their careers to serving our country.The average enlisted retiree could see a reduction of morethan $80,000, while the average officer could lose more than$120,000. Particularly appalling is that the cuts affect disabledveterans, including those who were forced to retire because ofa service-related injury.

I am disappointed that my amendment to the budget agree-ment was not brought up for a vote by the full Senate. Instead,Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) employed a legislativetactic known as “filling the amendment tree,” in which he pro-hibits anyone but himself from offering amendments. Thepractice is often used to stymie efforts by the minority party toimprove legislation, in this case to remove an onerous provi-sion that hurts our country’s veterans.

As a member of the budget conference, I expected thebudget agreement would take tough decisions from both polit-ical parties. Unfortunately, the bipartisan conference was notconsulted before the budget deal came to a vote. If that hadhappened, the conference could have worked to find a lessharmful replacement for the military pension cuts, which totalapproximately $6 billion. Not only do these cuts burden mili-tary retirees and their families, but they defy Congress’s ownorders when it established the Military Compensation andRetirement Modernization Commission last year. In recom-mending reforms to military pay and benefits, the commissionwas directed to protect the commitments that have been madeto current military personnel and those who have alreadyretired. The same rule should apply to the budget deal.

Restoring military retirement benefits would keep thepromise that was made to our service members. Although thebudget deal has passed, the fight goes on to ensure America’smen and women in uniform are not asked to shoulder an addi-tional sacrifice. Like many of my colleagues, I am committed toreversing the budget’s negative impact on our militaryretirees.

By BOBBY MOAKHouse Democratic

Caucus LeaderThe 2014 legislative ses-

sion begins in a few shortweeks and there are somevery important issues thatmust be addressed.

For too long legislativeleaders in Jackson havegiven lip service to problemsolving, but have not madethe concerted effort neces-sary to reach solutions. Ibelieve that solving problemswill require everyone, includ-ing members of both parties,to reach across the aisle andbegin a process of independ-ent thinking without regardto who gets the credit.Below are some topics thatmay be difficult to discuss inbipartisan fashion, but thatthe Legislature will need totackle in the 2014 Session.

JJoobb CCrreeaattiioonnMississippians want to

move from welfare to theworkforce, but there is a lackof jobs. In tough economictimes elected officials havean obligation to help createjobs. One solution thatshould be obvious is our sys-tem of highways and bridges.

In 1987, the Legislaturepassed a far-reaching pieceof legislation to build high-ways all over this state. Whatwas not adequately planned

or funded, because ofincreasing costs, was main-taining these roads andbridges. As our populationhas grown and road usagehas multiplied we have notbeen able to provide ade-quate maintenance. [1] TheHouse Democratic Caucussupports shifting existingfunds or finding new forms ofrevenue to maintain theseroads and bridges. In addi-tion to serving the state’stransportation needs, every10 miles of maintenancework creates 200 good-pay-ing new jobs. [2] It is a fiscal-ly prudent action to helpmove Mississippians into theworkforce and also promotespublic safety. MoreMississippians workingmeans they can afford to buygoods and services from ourstate’s manufacturers andother businesses.

TTaaxxeess“Don’t raise my taxes” has

been a consistent cry fromAmericans since before theAmerican Revolution, andwith good reason. We don’tmind contributing our fairshare to provide for basicgovernment functions likelaw enforcement, educationand transportation.Everyone understands andagrees that these critical gov-ernment functions are a part

of the social compact.However, in recent years

Mississippians have seenstate leadership take moneyfrom our schools and infra-structure and re-direct it tospecial interests in the formof loans, grants and tax cred-its. When the state dollars foreducation are reducedthrough these means, localschool districts have to makeup the shortage. They oftendo that by raising propertytaxes. The politicians inJackson claim they didn’traise your taxes, but yourlocal taxes go up just thesame. In effect, your localtaxes are increased so thatsome special interest groupscan get special tax benefits inJackson. It is time to stop thistax shift and to return tosound fiscal policy.

EEdduuccaattiioonn FFuunnddiinnggLegislative leaders and

the governor promised toadequately fund our schools.When that promise was bro-ken, it meant the costs ofeverything from land andbusiness taxes to car tagsincreased on the local level toprovide for buses, buildingsand teachers’ pay. It’s timefor leaders in Jackson tokeep their word and fullyfund MAEP as promised.What we have now is a sys-tem of double taxation where

education remains inade-quately funded. This mustend.

BBaassiicc DDeecceennccyyIt is shameful that a grow-

ing number of teachers andstate employees are becom-ing eligible for food stamps,Medicaid, housing assis-tance and other governmentsubsidies because they donot receive adequate pay.Anyone who works forMississippi deserves the dig-nity of bringing homeenough pay to provide fortheir families. Hard workdeserves our respect alongwith a living wage. We losetoo many good teachers andpublic employees, like nurs-es and medical technicians,to the private sector becausethey cannot make a decentliving in their careers as pub-lic servants.

Democrats in theLegislature are committed toworking with our Republicancolleagues to achieve thesegoals. If you have questionsor comments about any leg-islative issue, please feel freeto contact me at the numberbelow. You can also contactme by email at [email protected].

Pre-session report – issues that need tackling

it twice. That didn’t turn outtoo well. In his creative glory,God came up with a newplan. He, through his son,became human and shed hisown blood for the forgivenessof our sins. It was the ulti-mate gift from the ultimatebenefactor. We didn’tdeserve it.

If anything, Santa is aproxy for Jesus, teachingyoung children in a simpleway the meaning ofunearned grace. As theygrow older, their fond memo-ries of Christmas Day joy andpresents under the tree canmake them better relate toChrist’s promise of everlast-ing life. You just have tobelieve with all your might.

We tendto makeresolutionseach newyear, yethow manydo wekeep?

My onlyresolutionsare to con-tinue to getbetter and stronger andreturn to work; working withthe people who need me.

So as we make our 2014resolutions – be careful!Make one you will keep andlove keeping. Such as moreprayer, and more time withfamily.

Keep the Christmas storyin your heads and reflectupon it the year around. Afterall, it’s the story of God –become human, so it’s notthe sort of thing whosemeaning you can exhaust inone telling, or hundreds oftellings.

There is so much evil, somuch suffering, so much vio-lence, and loss, that it can

overwhelm us. This is true ofour world, and it is true of ourown lives. Any yet, no matterhow bad things get (and theydo get bad), goodness isnever completely snuffedout, nor will it ever be. God ispresent in our darkest hours.A light that shines on, incorri-gible, tenacious and fierce. Attimes it may seem like nomore than a flicker, but it

never goes out. One day thatgoodness will engulf us. Wewill be bathed in light forever.

Continue to love your fam-ily each and every day. Playtogether, go to the church ofyour choice as a family, eat atleast one meal as a family, atleast once a week. HappyNew Year to all of you.

“I would like someone toput a natural gas station in thecity and the city could sell nat-ural gas to them,” he said.

Natural gas is now as safeto use for fuel in vehicles asgasoline, he said. And naturalgas burns cleaner, avoidingpollution issues.

She said thisis a time of giving back to thecommunity and to thankthose who are working sohard to make Holly Springsthe “City Shining on a Hill.”

“Oftentimes we forgetthose who take time out oftheir schedule to go to theirboard meetings to make ourcity a great place,” Moffittsaid. “To give back is thething. Jesus is the reason.Let’s give a portion back tothose who serve us well –Shanette (Folsom),Shamecca (Fitts) andLaKisha (Mitchell-Buffington) and all the volun-teers.

“If you feel like dancing,let’s dance. Let’s have fun.”

Mitchell -Buf f ington,executive director of theHolly Springs TourismBureau, thanked the com-munity volunteers and read ashort reason why each per-son was selected for anaward.

Speaker for the eveningwas Sharon Gipson, localattorney and alderman ofWard 2. She was introducedby Fannie Lampley, chair ofthe promotional committee.

“To all of you who makeup this wonderful audience,she is not a stranger,”Lampley said. “She was bornand reared in Holly Springs,a graduate of the Universityof Southern Mississippi andhas a law degree from OleMiss. She’s a young ladywho came back to HollySprings a couple of yearsago.”

Gipson spoke of hergrowing up in Holly Springsand how people like Lampleywere her role models. Shesaid it is important to realizethe impact that adults haveon children.

“I remember seeing herin her suits and heels,” saidGipson. “I knew because ofyou, I wanted to wear a suit

Gipson acknowledgedthe reason for the seasonand wished “HappyBirthday” to several in theaudience including alder-man-at-large Tim Liddy.

“There are so many peo-ple here who I grew up with– I grew up watching,” shecontinued. “I’m a lot like myfather. I’ll get with him andtalk about my ward. He’s astar checker player. We havea lot of changes as a city andpersonally as well.”

Gipson said there arethose “who encourage usabout unity, change andbringing Holly Springs for-ward,” as she recognizedMayor Kelvin Buck.

Gipson read a passagefrom one of Martin LutherKing’s books.

King said all life is related. “Whatever affects one

directly, affects all indirect-ly,” King wrote. “I can neverbe what I ought to be untilyou are what you ought tobe. This is the interrelatedstructure of reality.”

Gipson said when shesaw the people acceptingtheir awards, she thought ofthe late Dennis Carlisle Sr.,whose grocery business suf-fered during the days ofblack boycotts.

“Mr. Carlisle asked mydaddy what he could do,”she said.

Gipson said her father,Quintelle Gipson, talkedabout how Carlisle couldimprove the store, howyoung men working in thestore were always so gra-cious, how Carlisle assistedsome of these employeesfinancially, and how Carlislecould employ black youth toimprove things.

Gipson turned to the topicof volunteerism.

“We have great volun-teers,” she said. “I’ve alwayslived in Mississippi. HollySprings is the New York ofthe South. When I was grow-ing up, Rust College was thecenter of things.”

She mentioned dentistDr. Jones, and Donald Streetand Mr. Jeffries’ service sta-tions.

“Holly Springs is a placeto be proud of,” Gipson said.“When I worked at Walmart,they called me Miss HollySprings. I’m looking at peo-ple here who are my broth-ers’ keepers. MissUnderwood was my teacher.Mrs. Warren was my musicteacher. Mr. Johnson wasprincipal at vo-tech. Dr.Lampley – I’m alwaystouched by his wisdom. Heis my Sunday school teacher.

“We are all our brothers’keepers. To be my brothers’keeper, to have compassion,to volunteer – it’s about giv-ing back. It starts with youngpeople. Our children arewatching us. Mr. ClencieCotton, I finally found some-thing I’m passionate about. Iinterned with him.

“I feel so honored. I amexcited about the things weare doing, moving forward.Economic growth is movingthings forward.

“Are we our brothers’keeper? Are we? Thankyou.”

At 7:28 p.m. Saturday, asthe front moved across thenorthern portion of the state,Northcentral had 7,000 cus-tomers without powerthroughout DeSoto andMarshall counties, he said.

“Approximately 6,500 ofthese were caused by circuittrips and were restored fairlyquickly,” he said.

Northcentral had severalcrews out restoring electrici-ty and was taking outage callsat its unmanned phone, 1-866-438-2642. This line is used toreceive outage reports afterhours to ease up lines used todispatch service men.

By 10:15 p.m., outages onthe Northcentral systemwere down to about 700 cus-tomers.

There were some downedtrees that took a bit longer toremove prior to restoringpower, he said. Crews hadbeen working over five hoursand outage reports over thattime period peaked to 7,600customers.

By 12:06 a.m. Sunday only600 customers were still with-out electricity overNorthcentral’s service areain DeSoto and Marshall coun-ties. Crews continued towork through the night,Bellipanni said.

By 9:10 a.m. Sunday, onlyabout 150 customersremained without power onthe Northcentral system.There were a number of bro-ken poles and downed linesdue to fallen trees, mainly inand around the Byhalia area,he said. Work crews hadbeen on the job since about 7p.m. Saturday.

Bellipanni said stoppingworkers in the field is coun-terproductive and they onlyreport to calls that comethrough Northcentral’s dis-patch.

Only 29 customers werewithout power as of Sundayat 9:55 a.m. Crews were stillout in force and remaineduntil all customers wererestored.

poles and transformerscaused the bulk of the prob-lems over the system.

By Monday at 6 a.m.,HSUD had about 200 cus-tomers still without electrici-ty. Hollingsworth said thesecustomers typically live at thefar end of the system wheretree limbs caused outages.

“Once again, the problemwas north of the ColdwaterRiver,” he said, referringback to area outages duringthe ice storm two weeks ago.

Hollingsworth said at10:30 a.m. Monday about 20customers remained withoutelectricity.

Holly Springs PoliceChief William Hollowell hasasked the mayor and boardof aldermen for authoriza-tion to establish an Explorerprogram for high school stu-dents ages 14-18.

He said his vision is to ini-tially involve a combined 14students from MarshallAcademy and Holly SpringsHigh School.

There would be twoteams and teachers fromeach school would recom-mend students and monitortheir progress in school.

The program allowsyouth from ages 14-21 to par-ticipate, beginning at theeighth grade level. The pro-gram allows PoliceExplorers to wear a uniformand to ride with officers innon-threatening situations.Hollowell said the programrequires a high level of disci-pline, report writing and thatstudents participate inthings like a color guard.

Alderman-at-large TimLiddy asked if candidateswould be restricted to HollySprings youth.

Hollowell said he thoughtif the students are enrolledat either of the schools, itwould be sufficient.

Alderman Sharon Gipsonexpressed reservations.

“I do have some concernsabout dealing with theExplorer Program,” shesaid.

She said the city is look-ing for positive things foryouth to do, but she wouldlike to discuss her concernsabout the police department

in executive session and alsoto discuss liability concerns.

Hollowell said PoliceExplorer is a communityservice organization.

Students would providetheir own uniforms and par-ents would sign a liabilitywaiver.

Gipson referred to a letterof resignation from an offi-cer and said she wanted that

discussed also in executivesession.

The program providesyouth with an opportunity toprepare for a possible careerin law enforcement.Explorers volunteer theirtime in order to learn aboutlaw enforcement beforechoosing a career at thelocal, state or federal level.

Nationally, over 33,000

youth and 8,425 adult volun-teers participate in the pro-gram which fits within theregular school year.Highlights include atten-dance at national Explorerleadership academies, ride-alongs, career achievementawards, attending nationalExplorer conferences andtaking advantage of scholar-ship offers.

(Editor’s Note – Thisweek’s column was writtenprior to Sunday, Dec. 22,due to early press deadlinesfor Christmas).

We are approachingweek 16 in the NFL and itis one of the two “tell-tale”weeks left.

In the past, this writerhas had complaints thatthe standings becomepuzzling and muddledduring this phase.

I tend to agree andsometime show a reluc-tance to relate the playoffpossibilities which boildown to “maybe andeither-or.”

Take the AFC forinstance – the Broncos(conference leaders at 11-3 and clinched a playoffberth) could take theWest Division title, a firstround “bye” with a winSunday over the Texans(the K.C. Chiefs wouldhave to lose to the Colts).

Now, in this picturealso are the other AFCteams which have a likenumber of conferencewins (7-3) – those peskyPatriots, the Colts and thewildcard leading K.C.Chiefs (11-3 overall).

Other playoff con-tenders in the AFC raceare the Steelers,Chargers, Dolphins,Ravens and Bengals.

The Seahawks are stillthe conference leaders inthe NFC at 12-2.Definitely in the playoffs,they could lock up theNFC West and the num-ber one seed with a firstround “bye” with a win ortie against the Cardinalsor tie/loss in the Mondaynight game between the49ers and the Falcons.

The NFC field ischock-full of hopefuls –New Orleans, Eagles,Bears, Panthers, 49ers,Cardinals, Green Bay,Lions and the Cowboys.

The Cowboys’ fatehangs on a couple of fac-tors. One, they could bekicked by a loss to theRedskins and aPhiladelphia loss to theBears. However, theycould take the East withtwo wins. Odd , isn’t it?

A record-setting highschool team, in Aledo,Texas, shows empathy forJerry Jones and the 7-7Cowboys by having T-shirts made up, askingMr. Jones to hold on andkeep the faith.

The Aledo Bearcatswill seek their fourth winin five seasons at theJerry Dome (AT&TStadium in Arlington,Texas) on Saturday.

The Bearcats (15-0)have scored 82 morepoints this season thanany high school in prephistory.

The shirts indicatedthat they would get thatmuch-needed win for theCowboys.

cent shooting from the line,Holly High managed to bestAshland by 13 points.

It was immediately obvi-ous that the Devils were

going to run and gun againstthe Hawks. The speed atwhich the squads were play-ing had to result in errors injudgement. Both had missedsome easy baskets.

The Hawks scaled back toa smaller squad and main-tained a 10-point marginwhich they upped to 36-21 atintermission.

In the third, the Devilswere finding it hard to keeppace with the Hawks, howev-er, about halfway throughthey cut the deficit to 12 butallowed it to go back to 15 (48-

33) at the end of the third.Holly High began running

in reserves all during thefourth as did the Blue Devils.

Holly High was not threat-ened in the last period andwent on to win 65-52.

both teams struggled to getout of single digits in the firstquarter. Both barely made itwith the Hawks clearing at 13-10.

The Hawks managed tostay a breath ahead of theCougars in the second andpulled away in the latter part.They benefited from somedistributive scoring from thebench. The Hawks weren’tgetting to the line that often.Holly High had the better ofthe visitors by eight (32-24) atthe half.

Holly High appeared to bethe dominant force in thethird. The Hawks were get-ting most of their shots to falland they were taking the ballaway. It equated to a 47-37mark at quarter’s end.

It turned into a slugfest inthe final quarter, with theCougars trying hard to clawtheir way back in. They hadwhittled a 12-point deficitdown to two midway, but theHawks spurred back and halt-ed the run and moved out toan eight-point lead.

These Cougars wereintent on upping their strongrecord a notch. However, theHawks would have none of itand escaped with the 66-63victory.

DaVonte Smith led the waywith 17 points. TerranceTownsend and Tyler Brown

added 15 each. Carlos Poolscored eight.

Gerotney Kelson was theCougars’ top scorer with 18.Robert Oliver and DarriusJackson had 13 each.
