Starkville aldermen to decide on annexation

Map changes, discussion expected at Tuesday’s meeting
By Alex Holloway
aholloway@cdispatch.com
After nearly a year of
work on an annexation
study, Starkville’s board
of aldermen is poised
to make a decision on
whether the city will
press on with annexing
new territory.
Aldermen will vote
whether to approve an an-
nexation plan and move
ahead with an annexation
ordinance. The decision
point comes more than
a month after consultant
Mike Slaughter, with Ox-
ford-based planning firm
Slaughter and Associ-
ates, presented the find-
ings of the study’s second
phase to aldermen.
Starkville began the
annexation study last fall,
and it has progressed
through the year since
in two phases. In the first
phase, aldermen set po-
tential annexation areas
for the study, and Slaugh-
ter’s firmed researched
demographics in those
areas. The second phase
focused on the costs of
and new revenue from an-
nexation and the changes
Starkville’s departments
would need to make to
properly serve the new
areas.
The city has focused
on three areas for annex-
ation. The largest extends
to the east and south and
would include all of the
land around Mississippi
State University. A sec-
ond area extends along
Highway 12 to the south-
west of Starkville and
would bring the Sunset
subdivision into the city.
The third area is a small
piece of land on the north
part of the city that would
bring all Collier Road —
that was not included in
the 1998 annexation —
within Starkville’s bound-
aries.
Mayor Lynn Spruill
said Slaughter, who was
not at Friday’s work ses-
sion, will attend Tues-
day’s board meeting. She
said aldermen will can
also adjust the proposed
annexation area on Tues-
day.
Spruill said she doesn’t
expect a final agreement,
if one is reached Tuesday,
to be “clean and neat,” but
to be something that can
Spruill Little
be used to begin drafting
an annexation ordinance.
“We’re at a point
where we can slice, dice
and carve and do what-
ever it is we want to do
to see what we want to
do to make this happen,”
Spruill said. “We’ve had a
little over a month to take
a look at it, and hopeful-
ly we can come to some
sort of consensus at some
point.”
Aldermen reactions
Ward 3 Alderman Da-
vid Little said he’s curi-
Sistrunk Miller
ous to see how discussion
the issue draws. He is
cautious of overreaching,
as the city may have in its
1998 annexation that add-
ed much of what is now
north Starkville.
He said he was hopeful
that the city could’ve tak-
en in MSU — which was
a consideration earlier in
the annexation process
before the university de-
clined.
Little also isn’t in-
clined to spread the city
further west.
“We’ve gone west be-
fore and nothing’s really
happening out in that
direction,” he said. “But
we’ll see what happens.”
Ward 5 Alderman
Patrick Miller said he’s
open to considering what
areas will best benefit
Starkville.
“Of course, it’s going
to take four of us to get on
board with that,” he said.
“Hopefully we will come
to some conclusion.”
Ward 2 Alderman San-
dra Sistrunk said she
expects aldermen will
adjust the map before any
final decision is made.
“Whatever else hap-
pens, I do expect that
map to change,” Sistrunk
said. “I think it’s going
to depend on discussion.
I’m trying to prioritize,
for myself — I’m trying to
prioritize those areas that
meet with our needs over
the next few years.”

Jackson to release
names of officers in
fatal shootings
JACKSON — The may-
or says Mississippi’s larg-
est city will start releas-
ing the names of police
officers involved in fatal
shootings.
Jackson Mayor Chok-
we Antar Lumumba tells
news outlets that he will
sign an executive order
soon to set a new policy. It
will require the release of
names within 72 hours of
a shooting. Names would
be withheld if there is a
credible threat to an offi-
cer’s safety.
The policy is based on
a recommendation from a
citizens’ task force.
Jackson’s recently con-
firmed police chief, James
Davis, says he supports
the transparency policy.
Seven officer-involved
shootings have occurred
in Jackson since Lumum-
ba became mayor on July
3, 2017. Lumumba says
the new policy will be ret-
roactive, so those names
will be released.
Officials: Blaze at
Mississippi furniture
plant was arson
PONTOTOC — Inves-
tigators say a Wednesday
fire at a northeast Missis-
sippi furniture plant was
arson.
Pontotoc Police Chief
Randy Tutor told local
news outlets Friday that
officers worked with the
state Fire Marshal and
the U.S. Bureau of Alco-
hol Tobacco and Firearms
to reach the determina-
tion.
No arrests have been
made. The owners of
Washington Furniture
and the state are offering
a $15,000 reward for infor-
mation.
Also Friday, the fire
rekindled while workers
were cleaning up.
Plant owner Lyle Har-
ris says two-thirds of the
company’s facilities in
Pontotoc were destroyed,
but he adds the company
is converting an undam-
aged warehouse with the
goal of restarting produc-
tion within three weeks.
The company, owned
by Behold Home of Smith-
ville, has promised that
its more than 400 workers
won’t miss a paycheck.

Governor’s wedding
ring back after decades
JACKSON — Missis-
sippi’s governor has his
original wedding ring
back on his finger nearly
three decades after he
lost it.
Clay Chandler, a lion in 2014 and early
spokesman for Gov. Phil
Bryant, says Jeff Maher
called the governor’s of-
fice in recent days to re-
port he had found a gold
wedding band inside a
couch that he claimed
from a roadside outside
the house of a cousin of
first lady Deborah Bryant.
The ring had the ini-
tials of Phil and Deborah
Bryant and their wedding
date — Dec. 31, 1976.
The Bryants gave the
cousin the couch in 1989.
Chandler says the Repub-
lican governor doesn’t
know when he lost the
ring, but thinks it was
sometime in 1989.
Bryant met Maher
Friday in Copiah County,
posting pictures to social
media thanking him and
wearing the ring.

Roses and thorns

A rose to
the Mississippi
State Student
Association
and the city of
Starkville for
another outstanding “Bulldog
Bash.” Billed as “Mississippi’s
largest free outdoor concert,”
Friday’s event again drew thou-
sands of spectators for a full
day of events, beginning with
the Maroon Market, featuring
food, retail vendors and local
music and concluding with
a concert headlined by The
All-American Rejects. The
Bulldog Bash has proven to be
a perfect way to kick off a foot-
ball weekend at MSU. It also
represents a great example of
what can be achieved when the
university and the city work
together. Great job, all-around.
A rose
to the high
school seniors
at Columbus
High School
and New
Hope High School who took
advantage of an opportunity
to register to vote. As part of
National Voter Registration
Day, Mississippi Secretary of
State Delbert Hosemann vis-
ited both schools on Tuesday
to encourage those students
who will be age 18 by the date
of the Nov. 6 election to reg-
ister to vote. Although there
were no numbers available,
the students were eager to
pick up voter registration
applications during the event.
Given the low-turnouts at
recent elections, we believe it
is especially important for our
young people to vote when
they turn 18 and get into the
habit of voting in all elections.
We thank Rep. Kabir Karri-
erm and Lowndes County
School District Superinten-
dent for arranging Hose-
mann’s visit to the schools.
A rose to
the 12 jurors
and three al-
ternates from
Oktibbeha
County who
will serve on the jury in the
Jessica Chambers murder tri-
al. Quinton Tellis is charged
with the burning death of the
19-year-old Panola Coun-
ty woman in December of
2014. A first trial ended in a
mistrial. Even in the best of
circumstances, jury duty can
be an inconvenience, but for
these jurors it’s is far more
than an inconvenience. Upon
their selection Monday, the
jurors had 1½ hours to pack
their bags before being bused
to Batesville, where they will
be sequestered for the dura-
tion of the trial. Our justice
system relies on citizens who
serve as jurors. We salute
these Oktibbeha county cit-
izens for their service under
difficult circumstances.
A rose to
Columbus
Main Street
and Columbus
Arts Council
for another
successful Art Walk Down-
town, which was held Thurs-
day evening. Recognized as a
Top 20 Event in the Southeast
by the Southeast Tourism
Society, the Art Walk, now in
its sixth year, is a showcase
for the diversity and quality
of original art available in this
community. The event began
with local artists paired with
downtown business owners;
artwork was displayed inside
stores. In the years since,
it has grown to also feature
artists and local musicians
lining the sidewalks, as well
as in Leadership Plaza at the
corner of Fifth Street South
and College Street. Residents
and visitors alike had the
opportunity to purchase art,
meet and talk with the artists,
take advantage of in-store
discounts and promotions and
enjoy music in the streets.

2 Mississippi officers die in shooting; suspect in custody
‘These are two awesome people who lost
their lives this morning in the line of duty’
Brookhaven Police Chief Kenneth Collins
By THOMAS GRANING
The Associated Press
BROOKHAVEN — Two po-
lice officers were shot and killed
following an early Saturday
morning confrontation in Mis-
sissippi, authorities said.
Warren Strain of the Mis-
sissippi Department of Public
Safety said at a news conference
that the officers were called to

campaign debates if she has to be in

By EMILY

The Associated Press
JACKSON — A Demo-
crat in a special U.S. Sen-
ate election in Mississippi
said Friday that he won’t
take part in campaign de-
bates unless Republican
Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith
also participates.
With only two of four
candidates still commit-
ted to appear, Mississippi
Public Broadcasting an-
nounced it is canceling
plans to carry an Oct. 4
debate on its statewide
TV and radio networks.
Mike Espy’s campaign
manager, Oleta Fitzger-
ald, sent a letter Friday
to Millsaps College and
MPB, the sponsors of the
debate on the Millsaps
campus in Jackson.
“A debate where the
person occupying the of-
fice is not present is unac-
ceptable to us,” Fitzger-
ald wrote.
Hyde-Smith’s cam-
paign has said she won’t
participate in campaign
debates if she has to be
in Washington on Senate
business. She’s sched-
uled to appear at a cam-
paign rally Tuesday with
President Donald Trump,
who has endorsed her.
It is happening in north-
ern Mississippi’s DeSo-
to County, a Republican
stronghold.
“When she agreed to
come to the rally, she put
politics before her Senate
duties. That just reeks of
hypocrisy,” Espy cam-
paign spokesman Danny
Blanton told The Associ-
ated Press in an interview
Friday.
Espy is a former U.S.
House member and was
President Bill Clinton’s
first agriculture secre-
tary in 1993 and 1994.
Others challenging
Hyde-Smith are Repub-
lican state Sen. Chris
McDaniel and Democrat
Tobey Bernard Bartee,
who is a former military
intelligence officer.

MPB executive direc-

the broadcaster’s goal
was to show a debate that
included all candidates,
to provide information to
voters.
“However, with only
two of the four candi-
dates committed to at-
tend, it has become clear
to us that the debate,
as planned, would not
achieve our initial goals
of providing civic engage-
ment to our statewide
audience where all can-
didate views would have
been heard,” Agnew said.
Millsaps issued a
statement saying college
officials were seeking
“further discussion” with
the McDaniel and Bartee
campaigns. The college
did not immediately say
whether the debate will
still happen.
Party labels will not ap-

By law, Security National

Jeff Mitchell, an attor-

as investors worried that
the government’s plan will
lead to a clash with Europe-
an Union leaders who want
Italy to reduce its debt level.
Through the third quar-
ter, pain in other markets
led to gains for U.S. stocks,
and that was true again
Friday. The S&P 500 rose
7.2 percent, its biggest
increase since the end of
2013.
One reason is that in-
vestors are worried about
other regions, especially
emerging markets. The
currencies of Turkey and
Argentina both dropped
during the quarter and in-
vestors worried that their
currency and economic
problems would harm the
rest of the world.
“Investors do pivot to the
U.S. when they have con-
cerns about other regions,”
said Marina Severinovsky,
an investment strategist
at Schroders. But emerg-
ing markets stocks have
bounced back somewhat
over the last two weeks,
and Severinovsky said they
might do better than U.S.
stocks in the fourth quarter.

GOP fears
political fallout
from Kavanaugh
turmoil
By STEVE PEOPLES
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Wheth-
er or not Republicans ulti-
mately confirm President
Donald Trump’s Supreme
Court nominee, some on
the front lines of the GOP’s
midterm battlefield fear
the party may have already
lost.
In the days after a di-
vided nation watched Brett
Kavanaugh and his accuser
Christine Blasey Ford deliv-
er conflicting stories about
what happened when they
were teenagers, Republican
campaign operatives ac-
knowledged this is not the
fight they wanted six weeks
before Election Day.
Should they give Kava-
naugh a lifetime appoint-
ment to the nation’s highest
court after Ford’s powerful
testimony about sexual
assault, Republicans risk
enraging the women they
need to preserve their
House majority. Vote him
down, they risk enraging
the party’s defiant political
base.

Hampshire, former Repub-
lican Party chair Jennifer
Horn said Republicans are

Chris McDill/Special to The Dispatch

Mississippi State tight end Osirus Mitchell can’t catch a pass from Nick Fitzgerald in the third quarter against Florida that could have given the Bulldogs a 13-3 lead. The
dropped pass was part of the offensive struggles that plagued No. 23 MSU in a 13-6 loss at Davis Wade Stadium.

Crimson Tide earn another blowout
By JOHN ZENOR
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It was
Jalyen and Jalen day for No. 1 Alabama.
Jaylen Waddle returned a punt for
a touchdown and caught two scoring
passes, including a 94-yarder, and Ja-
len Hurts made a statement just by
playing Saturday in Alabama’s 56-14
victory against Louisiana-Lafayette.
Quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and
Hurts staked the Crimson Tide (5-0) to
a 49-0 halftime lead against the Ragin’
Cajuns (1-3) en route to the reigning
national champions’ latest blowout.
Hurts, who twice led Alabama to na-
tional championship games but lost his
starting job, erased any question about
possibly taking a redshirt year by play-
ing in his fifth game.
“There’s never been anybody I know
of that’s in the position that he’s in, so
that just speaks volumes to his charac-
ter,” Alabama tailback Josh Jacobs said.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Joe Burrow
was 18-for-25 for 292 yards and three
touchdowns Saturday night to lead the
No. 5 LSU football team to a 45-16 victory
against Ole Miss in a Southeastern Con-
ference game.
Burrow also paced the Tigers (5-0, 2-0
SEC) with 96 yards rushing on nine car-
ries. Burrow, Nick Brossette, and Clyde
Edwards-Helaire rushed for touchdowns
as part of a 281-yard rushing attack that
averaged 5.6 yards per carry.
Jordan Ta’amu was 19-for-38 for 178
yards, but he didn’t throw a touchdown.
Former Starkville High School standout
A.J. Brown led the Rebels (3-2, 0-2) with
nine catches for 72 yards. Scottie Phillips
had 19 carries for 96 yards.
LSU built a 28-6 halftime lead thanks
to Burrow, who threw a 21-yard scoring
pass to Ja’Marr Chase to erase a 3-0
deficit. Brossett had a 4-yard run, Ed-
wards-Helaire had a 3-yard score, and
Burrow hit Justin Jefferson on a 65-yard
touchdown pass as part of 28-point flurry
that allowed the Tigers to cruise.

Passing game sparks WPHS Yellow Jackets suffer first loss

By Will Nations
Special to the Dispatch
OLIVE BRANCH — West Point
High School’s Jake Chambless was
surprised by some of the play-calling
decisions Friday night.
The senior quarterback wasn’t
questioning the choices co-offensive
coordinators Brett Morgan and Casey
Welch made. It’s just that Chambless
has been around long enough to know
the West Point High football team typi-
cally keeps the ball on the ground.
On this night, though, the Green
Wave sought a different balance in
their attack.
Jake Chambless did his part by
throwing for 126 yards and three
touchdowns to help West Point earn
a 41-6 victory against Center Hill in a
Mississippi High School Activities As-
sociation (MHSAA) Class 5A, Region
1 game.
“As a team, we always talk about
being ready to have our number called
and step up,” said West Point coach
Chris Chambless, whose team im-
proved to 5-1 and 2-0 in the region.
“Jake was called to step up in tonight’s
game plan. He did a good job executing
and completing passes.”
Jake Chambless gained nearly half
of his season’s passing yardage and
doubled his touchdowns from the first
five games. He said hours of film study
revealed the Center Hill defense played
a soft, man coverage. The Green Wave
were ready to expose this factor.
“Center Hill’s strong safety played
inside, to try to stop the run, and we
were able to get man coverage,” Jake
Chambless said. “Our best receivers
can definitely handle man coverage,
and we knew that would be a key. It was
difficult this week because of all the
rain to practice our passing attack.”
Jake Chambless used six receivers
— three of which had multi-recep-
tion games. Shun Crawford, Brandon
Harris, Dantariyus Cannon, JeQwan
Young, TJ Anderson, and Jaylun Egger-
son all found their way into the attack.
“Our receiving core comes to work
hard every week,” Jake Chambless said.
“They know we are a run-first team.
They block well, but when their numbers
are called open to make a play they make

FLOWOOD — The Starkville High
School football team’s search for an-
swers produced a new one in the final
minutes Friday of what it hoped would
be a comeback win.
But the answer fell 1 yard short.
On a night little worked, No. 1
Starkville lost to No. 7 Northwest
Rankin 27-20 in a Mississippi High
School Activities Association (MH-
SAA) Class 6A, District 2 game.
Starkville (5-1, 1-1 district), the top-
ranked team in The Associated Press
rankings, fell short after tight end Ata-
vius Jones caught a 9-yard completion
when it needed 10 to keep the game
alive.
“Back to work. We’ll be fine. May-
be this will humble us a little bit,”
Starkville coach Chris Jones said.
“There’s no excuses. We should have
found a way to win. We didn’t find a
way to win.”
The game was tied at 13 thanks
in part to a defense that, outside of a
70-yard touchdown, held Northwest
Rankin (5-1, 2-0) to 3.1 yards per play.
Unfortunately, mistakes haunted
Starkville. Using starting running
back Dreke Clark on the perimeter as
a decoy, KJ Lawrence ran through a
distracted defense only to see a penal-
ty ruin what would have been a fourth-
and-1 conversion attempt. The Yellow
Jackets went back to Lawrence, but
they fumbled the ball.
“A lot of calls that, to me, were really
questionable, but at the end of the day
we know we have to play ball,” Jones
said. “In my opinion, the kids should
decide the game. It shouldn’t be in the
hands of the officials. I don’t mind los-
ing if it’s really the kids playing ball.
Hat’s off to them, they’re a great team
and we have to play better. We can’t
look at calls.
“He was down. It’s obvious he was
down, but they said fumble.”
When asked which calls bothered
him, Jones said, “All of them. Bad,
man. I can’t fake it.”
Starkville was called for 10 penal-
ties for 83 yards.
Two incompletions and an early
snap set back the next two possessions.
Trailing early in the fourth quarter, the

earlier in the contest.
“Love how our guys
never quit,” Starkville
Academy coach Chase
Nicholson said. “Thought
we got better last night.
Really love this team and
how competitive they are.
It was a great team effort to
come back the way we did.
“The thing is we can’t
get complacent. We have
to get better each week.”
For Starkville Acade-
my, Garrett Lewis hit Matt
Miller for a 37-yard touch-
down in the third quarter

free of a slipping defensive
back. He then connected

Chambless made it a
five-possession game in
the fourth quarter when
he found Eggerson in the
end zone.
“It felt great to get the
ball rolling in the right
direction,” Jake Chamb-
less said. “On the first two
drives and then late in the
game, I am very happy
we got the ball in the end
zone. I love playing for
this team.”
West Point’s defense
was stingy against Center
Hill’s veer-option attack.
The Green Wave held their
host to roughly 2 yards per
carry and 4 yards per play.
The Mustangs (3-4, 0-2)

quarter to beat the Eagles in a Christian
Football Association (CFA) game.
Kenny Collier scored on a 17-yard
touchdown pass from Brandon Moore on
a play that started with eight seconds left
in regulation. But time remained follow-
ing the score, which forced the Eagles
(4-2, 2-2 CFA) to have to kick off.
VCA coach Chris Hamm said Tus-
caloosa Christian (1-5, 1-4) lateraled the
out the week was a factor
in both teams fumbling
twice. In the penalty de-
partment, West Point had
seven for 90 yards, and
Center Hill had seven for
72 yards.
“There are still some
areas we have to clean
up,” coach Chambless
said. “We had a lot of
mental busts tonight and
kind of beat ourselves at
times. It is a lot of penal-
ties and yardage given up.
We have to do the small
things right, especially
for the rest of the season.”
In the first half, West
Point capitalized on its
possessions by scoring on
three of its four touches
for a 21-0 halftime lead.
In West Point’s final
possession of the first half,
Kameron Martin gained
19 yards on the last three
plays. Martin went for 8 and
5 yards before he scored on
a 6-yard run.
Harris added a 3-yard

that group also hurt Cale-

an opponent that looked
crisp all night on evening,
especially when it went to
a no-huddle attack.
Still, Caledonia hung
in trailing 14-0. The Con-
federates used a 60-yard

spark their first scoring

A 19-yard pass com-

quarterback Ryan Burt to
Braylen Miller set the Tro-
jans up at the Louisville
47 on its next possession.
But an offensive pass in-
terference call on the Tro-
jans and a 3-yard tackle
for loss pushed them back
to their 35 and brought
on Burt to punt the ball
away. His punt was par-
tially blocked, however,
and an 11-yard return by
Cistrunk gave Louisville
field position at the Trojan
37.
After two incomplete
passes and a 10-yard
mark-off for holding, Shu-
maker connected with
Josiah Goss on a 53-yard
screen pass and Triplett
added the point after to
give Louisville a 35-0 lead
with 1:48 left before half-
time.
New Hope failed to pick
up a first down on its next
possession and Burt’s
fourth-down punt was re-
turned to the Trojan 20,
but a blindside block nulli-
fied the return and Louis-
ville took possession at its
45 with 28 seconds left in
the half.
Five seconds later, it
was a 41-0 game when

At the Stephen D. Lee Home Sept. 11, from left, Betty Waters, Gaines Gaskin and Katherine Kerby examine the needlepoint Story Hour carpet made
by dozens of local volunteers in the 1970s for the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library. Waters needlepointed one of the rug’s 50 squares. Gaskin’s
mother, the late Chebie Bateman, and Kerby’s mother-in-law, the late Bettye Jane Kerby, respectively developed the concept and designed the
unique rug. A Special Story Hour celebration takes place Oct. 7 at 3 p.m. at the Lee Home at 316 Seventh St. N in Columbus.

A locally historic ‘magic carpet’

A
“magic carpet” that once helped chil-
dren take flights of imagination is about
to be in the spotlight again. For de-
cades, the colorful carpet was the centerpiece
of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library’s
Story Hour Room. Now in its new home at the

rug made by dozens of local volunteers during
the 1970s will welcome little ones once again:

Home again: painter returns to roots, inspiration in Columbus
Exhibit opens with free reception
Thursday, 5:30-7 p.m.
BY JAN SWOOPE

V
irginia Branch
has come home
again. Her art has
been inspired by it. After
more than three decades
away, the fifth-generation
native of Columbus re-
turned to her hometown
two years ago and lives
in the antebellum home
Sunnyside, which her
parents purchased in the
1970s.
“I was just homesick.
I always wanted to come
back home,” the artist
said. “My husband’s
job took us around the
country, but I convinced
him he needed to come
with me to Columbus. I
missed the small town
(atmosphere) and have
lots of family here.”
Her late mother’s
gardens at Sunnyside, as
well as Lowndes County’s
landscapes — the river,
in particular — have
influenced Branch’s most
recent acrylic paintings
in a new Columbus Arts
Council exhibit, Modern
Florals and Mystical
Landscapes, at the
Rosenzweig Arts Center
in October. The public
is invited to an opening
reception from 5:30-7
p.m. Thursday at the arts
center at 501 Main St.
Bright, bold florals will
be predominant in the
show, complemented by
a selection of landscapes
more tonal in value and
with an ethereal quality.
“I’ve called my still
lifes ‘modern florals’
because I want to convey
that they are not typical,
classical paintings, but
creative interpretations,”
Branch said. “I’ve grav-
itated toward flowers. I
think my mother was an
influence. She always had
beautiful flowers in the
garden, and she’d bring
them in the house. She
was very creative and
loved to make the house
beautiful with flower
arrangements.”

Mississippi farming and
her strolls at the River-
walk.
“I love to walk along
the Tombigbee River at
the Riverwalk, and I’m al-
ways taking photos of the
river in various lights,”
she said.
To create atmosphere
and texture in her
landscapes, Branch first
preps the canvas with
burlap and plaster of Par-
is. Once that is sanded,
several layers of acrylic
paint are applied, fol-
lowed by a clear isolation
coat, which helps protect
the painting. She then
finishes with a cold wax,
which gives the impres-
sion of an encaustic, or
hot wax, painting.
“I love trying new
techniques and styles,”
Branch said. “It brings
such pleasure to paint
in bright, bold colors
and then to completely
change my color palette
and paint more tonal
paintings.”
Early on
Branch’s interest in art
began at a young age.
“Ever since I can
remember, I’ve always
drawn, from the time I
could hold a crayon or
pencil,” she said.
Her mother, Helen
Maute Evans, finished at
Mississippi University for
Women as an art major,
and Branch’s formal art
studies began while still
in high school, when she
took art classes from
MUW’s Larry Feeney
and Charles Ambrose.
She went on to earn a
Bachelor of Fine Arts de-
gree from Randolph-Ma-
con Woman’s College
in Lynchburg, Virginia,
and studied for a year at
Reading University in
England. From there,
she was able to travel
extensively and study the
masters.
While her latest work
is acrylic and mixed me-
dia, Branch has also had
a mural and hand-paint-
ed furniture business,
taught 18th-century
Oktoberfest for several
years. The family-orient-
ed event is an opportuni-
ty for student organiza-
tions to raise money and
involve the community.
All interested individ-
uals are eligible for the
costume contest. There
will be different age
categories. Registration
is from 5-5:45 p.m. The
costume contest will
begin 6 p.m. The rain

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: I have
been married to a
wonderful man for
17 years. The drawback
is he’s a workaholic.
We have not spent even
one day together doing
something fun in more
than 10 years.
We both work full-
time and live on a small
farm. My husband is a
carpenter. He collects
tractors and works hay
fields all summer long.
Because he comes in
late each evening, I
Dear Abby
often eat dinner alone.
On weekends, he’s working on his
tractors or cutting and baling hay.
I do see him a bit more during the
winter months, but he thinks it’s a
waste of time and mon-
ey to go somewhere
nice for dinner or take a
weekend getaway. When
I do travel, it is with my
siblings because my
husband prefers to stay
home and work.
I love him, but I’m
beginning to feel like I
am not his top priority.
I am lonely for his com-
panionship. I just don’t
know how to handle
this. He’s pretty set in
his ways. Help. — WITH-
ERING IN WISCONSIN
DEAR WITHERING:
A husband who is unwilling to devote
time to his wife doesn’t sound “won-
derful” to me. Perhaps you should
consider having a snack after you
return from work, so you can have
dinner with him when he comes in.
You appear to have a communica-
tion problem. Tell him what you want,
and don’t be shy about it. Say you
love him but need more of him than
he has given you for a long time. He
needs to know his wife feels she’s
playing second fiddle to his tractor
collection. If he is unwilling to listen,
then you will have to evaluate wheth-
er you want to spend the rest of your
life “withering.”
DEAR ABBY: I am married to a
successful mental health profession-
al, and I applaud how you recom-
mend therapy or counseling when
it is called for. I have noticed that
some of your readers have written,
“I tried it already, but it didn’t work.”
To these people, my husband always
says:
“Therapists are like shoes.
Sometimes you need to try on a few
before you find a good fit. And, like
shoes, you can grow out of them and
need new ones. Sometimes you need
a more appropriate pair that matches
a different lifestyle. (You wouldn’t go
running in high heels, or wear flip-
flops to business meetings.)
“Ask to TALK to potential thera-
pists before hiring one. Ask ques-
tions. Get a feel for their personality
and style. Ask how they might treat
different issues and what types of
therapy they practice, and inquire
about sliding-scale fees if money
is an issue. If a therapist’s style
doesn’t match your needs, ask for a
referral to someone else who might
be a better fit.”
Abby, please encourage your
readers not to give up. There is help
out there for everyone. — MATT IN
MARYLAND

analogy and suggestions for finding
a psychotherapist who’s a good fit.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
30). You go into this solar
return feeling as if you need
a little more space, and you’ll
get it straight away, both figu-
ratively and actually. Property
and territory will be redistrib-
uted. More highlights include
the exchanging of vows, a new
social circle that opens out
of a civic group, and a very
fortunate journey in threes.
Scorpio and Cancer adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 6, 4,
40, 33 and 18.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). You’ll clear up a financial
problem and feel instantly at
peace in other areas of life,
as well. Also, whatever sort of
adjustment you make today
will be easy to stick with.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Your “someday” has
been known to arrive right on
time — or ahead of schedule
even. Start thinking of what
you want, because it’s coming
to you sooner than you think.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’re in the mood to explore
and experiment. You’d like to
do anything but work. But if
you simply must work, at least
you’ll carry the spirit of play
within you.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). When you focus on the
best in your relationships,
things just keep getting better.
You’ll shower the people you
love with love and, not surpris-
ingly, get lots right back.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ll do a bit of time travel
today, through pictures and
through planning for the
future, but don’t dwell there.
Memories and dreams certain-
ly color life, but they are not
life. Life is only now.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
This exciting day flows just the
way you like it, with some or-
der and some chaos and then
back to order again. You can
feel great about your ability to
keep sorting things out.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23). Your creative mind is so
strong today. You’re inventive.
You could come up with a
brilliant fix for something that
isn’t technically broken. Your
different take on this will be a
game changer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). There’s a role reversal
on the table. This is only
temporary, so don’t worry too
much about it. The opportunity
here is in getting the chance
to experience things in a way
that is pretty close to the way
a loved one does.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). The change you’re
trying to make will stick once
your environment completely
supports it. Be thorough. Get
rid of everything that flies in
the face of your goal.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). Some linguistic
prescriptivists want “it is
what it is” out of the common
parlance, claiming that it’s a
lazy description of reality. That
may be so, yet it does aptly ex-
press your total acceptance of
a complicated situation today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You were born with
unique talents, but today is
about developing that which
can be cultivated only through
learning. The discipline re-
quired will help you later make
the most of those things that
come easily to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). It is difficult to know what
to do around instability, and
certainly you can’t build on it.
Look for people and situations
that are predictable, that exist
within certain rules and follow
an order that makes sense.

Piney Grove Church to mark 190th anniversary Oct. 7

Reception and open
house in Steens
set for 2 p.m.
BY JAN SWOOPE
jswoope@cdispatch.com

E
arliest members of Piney
Grove United Methodist
Church in Steens were
among some of Lowndes Coun-
ty’s first settlers. That deter-
mined handful of the faithful
organized in 1828, meeting in
dwellings and the local school
house until 1835, when a log
structure was built. On Sunday,
Oct. 7, the present frame church
sanctuary erected in 1892 will be
the site of a 2 p.m. celebration of
Piney Grove’s 190th anniversary,
with a public reception and open
house. The community is invited
to visit the church that forms a
chapter of the county’s ecclesias-
tical history.
Margaret Sharp has been
part of Piney Grove for 72 years;

congregation. Her great-grand-
father, Capt. E.C. Leech, deeded
two acres of land for the “new”
church in September 1891 and
was integral to getting the pres-
ent structure completed. That
some of his descendants are still
active in the congregation is es-
pecially meaningful to Sharp and
extended family members.
“I don’t know how to express
it,” she said when asked about
the impact of this church anniver-
sary. “We have been through a
lot of thin years, but we’ve always
pulled through.”
There are known to be 19
preachers who have gone out
from Piney Grove Church,
according to compiled church
history. Pastored today by Andy
Tentoni, Piney Grove holds ser-
vices every Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
and a fellowship meal and Bible
study on Wednesday evenings.
Milestones through its past
are chronicled in church records.
They include names of the 12
individuals who met on that
first occasion 190 years ago to
establish the church, as well as
the building of new structures

and improvements ranging from
an upgrade from a coal stove to
gas for heat in 1956, to the return
of stained glass in the Gothic
windows in 2015.
Mary Hays, Sharp’s sister-in-
law, has been a member at Piney
Grove for almost 60 years.
“It’s just amazing how the
wooden structure still looks
so pretty,” said Hays, who is
helping coordinate the anniver-
sary commemoration along with
Mitzi Younger, Sharp and other
volunteers. “We’re just fortunate
that the building has survived
and that the congregation has
survived as a whole since 1828.”
The Oct. 7 observance will
include brief comments and a
condensed history of the church
presented by different genera-
tions of the membership, followed
by cake and refreshments and
a display of photographs in the
fellowship hall. All are welcome.
Piney Grove Church is located
at 102 Fernbank Road in Steens.

Story Hour rug

Local history squares in the rug include, at top from left, C&G Railroad; The First Citizens; and Saturday Morning
Serial at The Princess. Second row, from left, shows The Supreme Court building, with marble from Columbus
Marble Works; Harness Races at Smith Oaks Plantation; and Rev. Teasdale and Orphans.

notable local sports.

Edwina Williams, as Mother Goose, reminisces about
reading books to children on the Story Hour rug at the
Columbus library for many years. “This would be their
‘magic rug,’” she said. “And I tell you, it was the cutest
thing, seeing their shoes in front of the Story Hour
