city officials announced
in a press conference
Wednesday at Regal Hall.
The new rating im-

it among the five high-

in the state. Most notably,
the new rating could save
city homeowners up to 20
percent on insurance pre-
miums.
Ratings are based on
response times, training,
available equipment and
facilities, record keeping
and emergency commu-
nication, among other
factors.
“When I came (to

Man hurt after train,
car collide
BILOXI — A man has
been hurt after a freight
train collided with his ve-
hicle at a railroad crossing
in Mississippi.
Biloxi Police Maj. Chris
De Back says it happened
Wednesday in Biloxi. He
says the victim is in his
80s and he went to cross
the railroad tracks and
failed to stop for the train.
De Back says as he contin-
ued, the train’s conductor
was unable to stop and the
vehicles collided.
The car was pushed
about 25 yards east of the
intersection before com-
ing to a stop.
De Back says the man,
the only person in the car,
was taken to an area hos-
pital for treatment. The ex-
tent of his injuries was not

Every five years, the

According to a bureau

department is Class 2 in
Gulfport.

Starkville and Tupelo re-

“My hat is off to Chief
Andrews and his staff at

said. “Because of your
intense training, intense
skill and intense devotion
to do your job, we are pro-
tected every day of the

Our View

From a modest start,

Happy Irby fund is an
example of how we
can all help
In keeping with the spirit of the season, we take
note of the many opportunities we have to help the
less fortunate, often through large, well-organized
charities.
On Wednesday, Columbus Air Force Base per-
sonnel and their families participated in one of those
programs — wrapping presents as part of the Happy
Irby Christmas Fund, which provides gifts of clothing
to needy elementary school children throughout the
city of Columbus and Lowndes County.
Now, in it’s 60th year, the Happy Irby Christmas
Fund is a well-organized, year-round enterprise with
volunteers and a board that manages its funds.
But it didn’t start out that way, which may be the
most important lesson to be learned from this effort.
In 1958, George Happy Irby, a former airman him-
self, was tending bar at the officer’s club at Columbus
Air Force Base when an idea came to him. He wanted
to do something to help the poor folks around town,
especially kids and senior citizens. So he sat up a tip
jar at the bar and began collecting change.
Near Christmas, he emptied out the tip jar, using
the money to buy fruit baskets for the old folks or
stuff a few bills into envelopes that he passed out to
kids.
It was anything but organized. It was just one man
figuring out a way to help others.
This year, the Happy Irby Christmas Fund spent
$13,000 to provide gifts for 350 children. No one
would be happier than Happy, who died in 2009 at
the age of 94, still committed as ever to the fund that
bears his name.
Wednesday, 14th Flying Training Wing Command-
er Col. Samantha Weeks joined about 40 airmen and
their families to wrap this year’s presents.
She paused to note how it all began and the lesson
we can all take from it.
“Happy Irby chose to give back to those who were
less fortunate, even though he wasn’t some rich
philanthropist,” Weeks said. “He just had it in his
heart to figure out how to give what he could. That’s
what he is still showing us all these years later. I think
we all just need to follow George’s example and figure
out where we can give and realize that even a small
amount makes a gigantic difference to somebody
else.”
Our community is blessed to have an abundance of
worthy charities who respond to the needs of the less
fortunate in our community. We encourage everyone
to give what they can to support these efforts.
But we also encourage everyone to remember
Happy Irby’s lesson.
You don’t have to have an organization, fund-rais-
ers, a board of directors to help a neighbor in need.
Do what you can. It matters.
And, as Irby might say, it’s a great way to have a
“Happy” Christmas.

Sixty years later, one
of the oldest Christmas
events in the Golden Trian-
gle is a far cry from its tip
jar days. Now, the Happy
Irby Christmas Fund relies
on two annual fundraisers
— a golf tournament in the
spring and a wine-tasting
event in the fall.
“The number of chil-
dren we can help has
grown a lot over the
years,” Hanson said. “Ob-
viously, to do that, we had
to grow the fund side. Sev-
eral years ago, we realized
that we needed to grow a
fund year-round so that
this would be sustainable.

Late lead
slips away
for LSU
By The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Galen Robinson
Jr. heard the “LSU! LSU!” chants
with Houston down 15 points in
the second half.
“It really touched a nerve, so
I was like, ‘There’s no way I’m
quitting, no way we are losing this
game.’” Robinson said. “That’s
the mindset that I had.”
Robinson scored 18 points,
Armoni Brooks added 13 — all
in the second half — and No. 24
Houston overcame the big deficit
to beat LSU 82-76 on Wednesday
night.
Robinson was 7 of 15 from the
field and had six assists and five
rebounds, and Brooks added nine
rebounds to help Houston (9-0)
extend its home winning streak to
22 games. Cedrick Alley Jr. added
13 points, Fabian White Jr had 10.
Houston coach Kelvin Samp-
son said the Cougars’ toughness
in the second half was big, specif-
ically rebounding where Houston
got 11 offensive rebounds in the
second half.
“We’ve worked so hard on re-
bounding missed shots on both
ends at practice every day,” Samp-
son said.
“We missed 36 shots, and we
had 18 offensive rebounds. That’s
50 percent of your misses. It’s just
extra possessions, and eventually,
you’ll break a team’s will by doing
that, too.”
Trailing by 15 with 19 minutes
left, Houston outscored LSU 31-12
over the next 12 minutes to take
a 63-62 lead. Robinson had eight
points and Brooks seven during
the run.
“We noticed that they were try-
ing to take away our shooters, so
that opened up driving lanes for
me, and coach told me to keep be-
ing aggressive,” Robinson said.

By BRANDON SHIELDS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Devontae Shuler
needed a little more confidence
and found it on Wednesday night.
Shuler scored 19 points, while
Terence Davis added 15 points,
six rebounds and four assists and
Mississippi beat Southeastern
Louisiana 69-47 at the Mississippi
Coliseum.
“I started to sense that they
would be pressing and I just start-
ed attacking and got going,” Shul-
er said. “I just needed to come out
with a little more confidence to-
night. I always feel like I’m going
to shoot the ball good.”
Ole Miss (7-2) has won four
straight and is now 18-0 against
Southeastern Louisiana.
“Every game has a life of its
own and tonight we didn’t have
our best stuff offensively, but de-
fensively we guarded really well,”
said Ole Miss first-year coach
Kermit Davis. “It was a good
night. The goal was to come to
Jackson and win the game and we
did that.”
Ole Miss held Southeastern
Louisiana to just 12-percent
shooting from 3-point range (2 of
17). Shuler was effective on both
ends of the floor.
“Devontae did a good job
shooting on offense and looked
very athletic at the rim and defen-
sively he made their guy take a lot
of hard shots tonight,” Davis said.
“They haven’t shot the ball from
3 great this year and tonight they
missed some open shots. That
saved us defensively.”
The Rebels never trailed.
Ole Miss used two big runs in
the first half to build a 33-17 lead,
including an 11-0 spurt midway
through and a 13-8 run to close
out the half. The Rebels opened
the second half on an 8-2 run for a
41-19 lead and cruised to the win.

NFL

Chiefs look to wrap up AFC West title with win over Chargers
By DAVE SKRET TA
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The
Kansas City Chiefs are missing
their star running back, likely
without his backup and could
have their top two wide receiv-
ers hobbled or shelved for their
crucial AFC West showdown
against the Los Angeles Char-
gers on Thursday night.
They still have Patrick Ma-
homes, though.
And they’re still playing the
Chargers.
Yes, the Chargers (10-3) are
one of the hottest teams in the
NFL, having won three straight
and nine of 10 to close within a
game of Kansas City (11-2) in
the division race.
But the Chargers also have
had about as much luck against
the Chiefs as the Redskins have
had with quarterbacks this
year, losing nine straight and
many of them in lopsided fash-
ion.
That includes this season’s
opener in Los Angeles, when
Mahomes announced his ar-
rival to the NFL with his first
four touchdown passes in the
Chiefs’ 38-28 victory at Stub-
Hub Center.
“We’re familiar with this
group, but they do so many
things. It’s never easy going up
against Kansas City,” Chargers
coach Anthony Lynn said.
“Go back to September. You
can go back to last year, to 2017,
when we lost to those guys
twice — same things. They are
just really good.”
The Chiefs have continued
to play at a high level despite
some personnel challenges.
Running back Kareem Hunt
was released nearly two weeks
ago because of off-the-field is-
sues, and new starter Spencer
Ware hurt his hamstring last
Sunday against Baltimore.
Wide receiver Sammy Wat-
kins is likely to miss Thursday
night’s game with a lingering
foot problem, and speedster
Tyreek Hill is nursing wrist and
heel injuries, but has insisted
all week that he’ll be ready.
“One thing we have been
talking about all season long,
you never know when your
number is going to be called,
so it is important that you are
ready,” Chiefs offensive coordi-
nator Eric Bieniemy said. “It’s
all hands on deck. When it’s all
said and done, we go out and
play.”
Besides, it’s not as if the
Chargers haven’t had injury is-
sues of their own.
Running back Melvin Gor-
don is expected to be a game-
time decision after spraining
his right knee against Arizo-
na and missing the past two
games. His primary backup,
Austin Ekeler, is likely out after
hurting his neck and sustaining
a concussion in last week’s win
over the Bengals.
“I’ve been grinding hard to
get back,” Gordon said. “I know
Coach (Lynn) is trying to be
careful and doesn’t want me to
further hurt myself or things
like that. So we’ll see where
that goes.”
If he’s unable to play, rook-
ie Justin Jackson would get his
first NFL start.
“What is it, Week 15 in the
NFL? These things happen,”
Chargers offensive coordinator
Ken Whisenhunt said.
The Chiefs can clinch their
third straight AFC West title
and a first-round bye in the play-
offs with a win. But even with a
loss, the Chiefs would hold the
tiebreaker over the Chargers by
virtue of division record.

CANDORVILLE Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec.
13). You’re a visionary, a big
idea person. To make it happen,
get better at delegating. The
universe brings you competent
people happy to be a part of
your plan. Other treasures of
the solar return: some silly fun
that turns into big publicity, an
approach to health to amp up
your vitality and the worthiest
wingman ever. Libra and Cancer
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 1, 30, 33, 8 and 47.
BABY BLUES ARIES (March 21-April
19). The beautiful thing will be
a simple thing. But there’s a
process to finding this. Along
the way, things will get mighty
complicated indeed, which will
be your cue to go back to the
basics and start again.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
Where do you draw the line
with your mischief? Too far to
one side and it’s criminal. Too
far to the other and it’s such a
weak strain it could hardly be
considered mischief at all. You’ll
employ your best judgment and
hit the perfect tone.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
When you hear what you don’t
like, how do you punish the
messenger? People only lie
because the truth seems too
dangerous a thing to tell. The
way to get to the truth is to
make it safer for people to tell
it to you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Relationships are always a
co-creation. It may seem that
you’re responsible for what hap-
pens in them, but only partly.
Consider carefully the various
motives at play in today’s mat-
ters of love and friendship.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As
a Leo, you understand that the
king isn’t the king because he’s
better; he’s the king because
his position got him crowned.
Doing good work from where you
are, wherever you may be, is the
aim that serves you best.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Of course nothing is certain,
but who wants to live with that
ethos? It’s not very productive
and even less exciting. Anyway,
some things are more certain
than others. Choose one and
go for it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
“Face your fear” is the common
advice. Putting your face into
fear’s face isn’t always required
to solve the problem; it can
be solved through action.
Today you could do the action
blindfolded and have the same
result.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). A 1 percent improvement
will have a 360-degree effect.
What makes you better in your
personal life will make you
better at everything: work, busi-
ness, art, parenting, friendship,
self-care and on and on.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your signmate former
British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill suggested, “Never
hold discussions with the
monkey when the organ grinder
is in the room.” But if you can
separate the monkey from the
organ grinder, you’ll get a good
story from each.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). While there are times when
a passively experienced amuse-
ment is just what you need to
relax, the best entertainment
for today is the sort that engag-
es your brain at a high level.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’d like to do more with
less, and indeed you’ll feel hap-
pier, lighter and more productive
when this happens. The first
step is getting to less, though.
So what three things can you
let go of?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’ve been good at doing
you for years now, and yet there
are still people who think they
have the answer to how you
could be doing it better. Steer
them off the pursuit, either gen-
tly or abruptly, because they’re
wrong.
