Smith in getting an early jump on

the holiday.
“We started our work in Septem-
ber,” said Smith, commander of the
Columbus Salvation Army.
The Columbus Salvation Army
has already kicked off its two major
annual campaigns — the Red Ket-
tle and Angel Tree campaigns. The
Angel Trees went up on Nov. 12,
while the kettle campaign started
Monday. But the preparation for
those campaigns began months
ago.
“September is our planning
month,” Smith said. “We’re figuring
out everything we have to do, the
processes we have to go through,
basically everything needed to get
the campaigns up and running.”
This year, the Columbus Salva-
tion Army’s Red Kettle Drive will
operate at 12 to 14 sites in Colum-
bus and West Point, including one
new site at Old Navy.
Smith said he has a goal of
$80,000 for the Red Kettle cam-
paign, which will help fund the
organization’s local aid programs
throughout next year.
Meanwhile, the Salvation Army
Angel Tree campaign will solicit
donations of unwrapped gifts at
locations at Leigh Mall and Lion

Big names weigh in on final unresolved US Senate election

President will hold two rallies in Mississippi
the evening before the Nov. 27 runoff
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — High-profile
politicians are throwing their
support to candidates in a U.S.
Senate special election runoff in
Mississippi, the last unresolved
Senate race of the federal mid-
terms.
President Donald Trump on
Monday repeated his endorse-
ment of Republican Sen. Cindy
Hyde-Smith, who was appointed
to office in April to serve tempo-
rarily. She is facing an increas-
ingly intense challenge from
Democrat Mike Espy, a former
congressman and former U.S.
secretary of agriculture.
Trump tweeted Monday: “@
cindyhydesmith loves Missis-
sippi and our Great U.S.A.” The
president will hold two rallies in
Mississippi the evening before
the Nov. 27 runoff.
Former Vice President Joe
Biden on Monday issued a state-
ment endorsing Espy, and Sen.
Cory Booker of New Jersey cam-
paigned for Espy in Hattiesburg.
Biden said Espy promises to
protect Social Security, Medi-
care and the federal require-
ment that health insurance
companies cover people with
pre-existing medical condi-
tions.
“In order to protect these
programs and continue to make
progress, your voice must be
heard at the ballot box by cast-
ing your vote,” Biden said.
Booker delivered a similar
message during an appearance
at the University of Southern
Mississippi. He told a diverse
audience of about 150 people
that America is in a “moral mo-
ment” and Espy will work to
help people who are living in
poverty and students who face
high levels of debt.
“Do not assume that this
election doesn’t matter. Do not
assume that it’s a lost cause,”
Booker said in the heavily Re-
publican state.
Booker also spoke to an over-
flow crowd of more than 100
outside the auditorium.
It was the second trip Book-
er has made to Mississippi for
Espy, who is seeking to become
the first African-American U.S.
senator from Mississippi since
Reconstruction. Booker, a po-
tential 2020 presidential candi-
date, campaigned in July in Mis-
sissippi’s capital city of Jackson.
Two other Democrats who
could run for president have
also appeared for Espy. Sen. Ka-
mala Harris of California spoke
at a women’s breakfast Saturday
in Jackson, and former Mas-
sachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick
campaigned with Espy in Hat-
tiesburg and Jackson several
weeks ago.
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant
appointed Hyde-Smith as a tem-
porary successor to Republican
Sen. Thad Cochran, who served
nearly 40 years in the Senate
after six years in the House.
Cochran retired in April amid
health concerns. The runoff
winner gets the final two years
of the six-year term he started.

Auction of Leigh Mall rescheduled for Jan. 8

Dispatch Staff Report
A public auction for
properties that include
Leigh Mall has been re-
scheduled for early next
year.
According to a revised
public sale notice sched-
uled to run in The Dis-
patch, the auction of Leigh
Mall and dozens of other
Security National Proper-
ties will be held at 10 a.m.
Eastern on Jan. 8 in the
Browne George Ross law
office in New York. The
sale had originally been
scheduled for Dec. 4.
Security National Prop-
erties defaulted on a $34.7
million loan for which it put
up Leigh Mall and its other
properties as collateral.
Foreclosure on that loan is
what sparked the sale.
Jones Lang LaSalle
Americas (JLL), Colfin
SNP and Colony Capital
AMC are collectively listed
as the secured creditor for
the loan in the sale notice.
JLL, an investment and
real estate management
company based in Chica-
go, is currently managing
Leigh Mall.

Gov. Bryant wants appeal of ruling on abortion ban

The Associated Press
JACKSON — Missis-
sippi’s governor wants the
state to appeal a ruling
striking down an abortion
law that would have been
one of the most restrictive
in the country.
The measure sought to
ban most abortions after 15
weeks.
U.S. District Judge Carl-
ton Reeves on Tuesday
ruled the law was unconsti-
tutional.
Spokesman Knox Gra-
ham tells The Associated
Press on Wednesday that
Gov. Phil Bryant “fully sup-
ports the defense of this
law moving forward.” How-
ever, Bryant isn’t a named
defendant and an appeal
would be decided by Dem-
ocratic state Attorney Gen-
eral Jim Hood and others.
The law’s supporters
always intended it as a test
case seeking a U.S. Su-
preme Court ruling that
states can prohibit abor-
tions before a fetus can
survive outside the womb.
Current federal law says
states cannot ban abor-
tions before then.

Our View
The holiday that is as diverse as we are
Long before Abe Lincoln
proclaimed it a national holiday
in 1863 and long before the Pil-
grims’ 1621 feast that inspired
it, a guy in Rome best ex-
pressed the idea behind what
we recognize as Thanksgiving:
“A thankful heart is not only
the greatest of virtues, but the
parent of all the other virtues,”
Cicero wrote more than 2,000
years ago.
Today we celebrate Thanks-
giving in our uniquely Ameri-
can way, which is to say we all
have our own ideas about the
holiday, what it means and how
it should be observed.
Oh, there are some ideas
that are universally accepted
— it almost always revolves
around a meal with turkey as
the main course.
We generally use the holi-
day to surround ourselves with
family and sometimes with
close family friends.
For some, the holiday has
deep religious meaning, an op-
portunity to acknowledge, as
George Washington did upon
declaring a “Day of Thanks-
giving” in 1789, “the service of
that great and glorious Being
who is the beneficent Author of
all the good that was, that is, or
that will be.”
For others, it is a more
secular event. Since it became
an official holiday by Lincoln’s
presidential proclamation
in 1863, all sorts of tradi-
tions have sprung up around
Thanksgiving Day — football
games (tonight, Mississippi
State and Ole Miss will play
for the 23nd time on Thanks-
giving Day and there are two
NFL games on tap), the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade
(a tradition since 1924) and
Christmas shopping (a recent
trend that gives shoppers a
head-start on the Black Friday
mayhem to follow).
Throw in all the family tra-
ditions that have become a part
of Thanksgiving Day and you
soon discover Thanksgiving is
as rich and varied as the nation
that celebrates it.
But we do hope that the
common theme — that of
thankfulness, gratitude, a
recognition of that portion of
life’s joys that have come our
way — is not entirely forgotten
on this day.
While acknowledging there
are those in difficult circum-
stances, there is always some-
thing that we can all truly be
thankful for. We may discover,
as Cicero long ago observed,
that gratitude makes us better
people.
When we are aware of our
blessings, we are kinder, more
empathetic, more compas-
sionate, more optimistic, even
healthier people, studies have
shown.
It’s a good habit to develop,
this spirit of gratitude, one that
can and should endure beyond
the day itself.
So no matter how you
choose to observe it, we wish
you all a very Happy Thanks-
giving!

will mean several hundred thousand people
will hear of God’s love for them.
These boxes, as well as being a gift for each
child, will be a key to open the hearts and
minds of these people to hear God’s word and
plan of salvation.

Today in history
Today is Thursday, Nov. 22, the 326th day of
2018. There are 39 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: Mississippi voices

On Nov. 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th
president of the United States, was assassinated
while riding in a motorcade in Dallas; Texas Gov.
John B. Connally, in the same car as Kennedy,
was seriously wounded; a suspect, Lee Harvey
Oswald, was arrested; Vice President Lyndon B.
Johnson was sworn in as president.
On this date:
In 1906, the “S-O-S” distress signal was
adopted at the International Radio Telegraphic
Convention in Berlin.
In 1914, the First Battle of Ypres (EE’-pruh)
during World War I ended with an Allied victory
against Germany.
In 1935, a flying boat, the China Clipper, took
off from Alameda, California, carrying more
than 100,000 pieces of mail on the first trans-Pa-
cific airmail flight.
In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Brit-
ish Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Chi-
nese leader Chiang Kai-shek (chang ky-shehk)
met in Cairo to discuss measures for defeating
Japan. Lyricist Lorenz Hart died in New York at
age 48.
In 1954, the Humane Society of the United
States was incorporated as the National Humane
Society.
In 1955, comic Shemp Howard of “Three
Stooges” fame died in Hollywood at age 60.
In 1965, the musical “Man of La Mancha”
opened on Broadway.
In 1967, the U.N. Security Council approved
Resolution 242, which called for Israel to with-
draw from territories it had captured the previ-
ous June, and implicitly called on adversaries to
recognize Israel’s right to exist.
In 1975, Juan Carlos was proclaimed King of
Spain.
In 1977, regular passenger service between
New York and Europe on the supersonic Con-
corde began on a trial basis.
In 1990, British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher, having failed to win re-election of the
Conservative Party leadership on the first ballot,
announced she would resign.
In 1995, acting swiftly to boost the Balkan
peace accord, the U-N Security Council sus-
pended economic sanctions against Serbia and
eased the arms embargo against the states of the
former Yugoslavia.
Ten years ago: In the weekly Democratic
radio address, President-elect Barack Obama
promoted an economic plan he said would
provide 2.5 million jobs, although his spokesman
later clarified that the plan would “save and cre-
ate” that many jobs. President George W. Bush
snared fresh international support on the econ-
omy and North Korea at a Pacific Rim economic
summit in Peru.
Five years ago: On the 50th anniversary of the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the
city of Dallas paused to honor the fallen leader.
Thanks? How about a list of aggravations instead?
OXFORD — Long-time
readers (for whom I am grate-
ful) may recall Thanksgiving
columns have often been
homilies on how choosing an
attitude of gratitude lessens
stress, enhances enjoyment
of life. (Too, long-time read-
ers may not recall any such
thing — what with op-eds
having the same lifespan
as grease in the bowels of a
goose.) Charlie Mitchell
In any event, a different
tack is being taken this holi-
day. In keeping with the negativity that pollutes today’s
social conversations (especially digital conversations),
I’m chiming in with a list of personal aggravations:
Bickering workers
Self-important people often lose control after deign-
ing to grace a drive-thru with their royal presence and
winding up with a single cheeseburger instead of a
double. Not me. I don’t desire that checkers, stockers,
waitstaff or window-hander-outers treat me as if I am
the center of their universe. Ignoring me is fine. I do,
however, expect to be spared overhearing their de-
bates about whose break is next, who stayed too long
on break or their banter about how much they hate
their jobs.
My heart goes out to these folks. They work
bizarre hours and all holidays. They have to deal with
arbitrary bosses, customers who seem to delight in
making messes and the aforementioned insufferable
patrons. That said, my money is hard-earned, too,
and I should be able to spend it without hearing them
squabble.
Cold fries
Whether at home or out on the town, nothing has a
shorter shelf life than a French fry. They are sticks of
golden deliciousness as soon as they cool just enough
not to burn. Too rapidly, though, they lapse into flaccid
strips of mush.
And they cannot be reheated. Don’t even try.
Frou-frou dogs
Don’t mistake me. This category does not include
all small dogs. A small dog with sufficient pluck and
pride can be as fast a friend as a big dog.
I’m talking about ornamental dogs, needy dogs,
dogs that whine about everything and pee if you say,
“Boo.”
Anyone who would be mean to any animal
As long as we’re on the subject, be clear that if a
person chooses to “wear” a frou-frou dog, that’s fine. I
respect the choice.
What’s not acceptable is being cruel — and that
includes indifferent — to any pet large or small, feath-
ered or furred or whatever. And that includes all other
animals, too. Like it or not, humans are stewards of the
planet and the job comes with one simple requirement:
Decency.
Red wasps
Nothing previously said about animals applies to
red wasps. They have no redeeming qualities and
should be caused to die early and often.
Upselling
I know, I know, the boss says do it, so you have to
do it. It is wearisome, though, when I buy a six-pack
of pencils at the office supply store and must formally
waive the three-year extended maintenance plan. (Too,
I’m naturally wary of any price with the word “just”
before it.)
And car warranties. If Public Service Commissioner
Brandon Presley ever does find a way to enforce the
no-call list, unemployment rates are going to skyrock-
et in several countries where no one — including the
telemarketers — speaks English.
These days everybody upsells. It wouldn’t surprise
me to learn that a patient checking into a hospital for
an appendectomy is offered a couple of stents and a
kidney transplant, too. “As long as we’re in there….”
Worn-out crosswalk stripes
Petty? You bet.
More than one mayor has looked at me strangely
when I’ve suggested freshly marked streets (especial-
ly crosswalks) really improve the overlook look and
feel of a city. Faded and missing markings smack of
indifference.
Each time I have voiced that complaint, I’ve remem-
bered my dear old Dad’s appreciation of the basics.
When I was in elementary school I would sometimes
bring home less than perfect grades in (surprise,
surprise) “conduct.” My well-behaved father was slow
to anger, slower to criticize. His life was the model
“attitude of gratitude.” Frustrated with me, he would
say, “If you can’t do anything else, at least you could sit
there with your mouth shut.”
And that’s a little bit like my message to mayors. “I
know you have tugs and pulls and pushes and shoves,
and I know it’s impossible to be all things to all people,
but keeping the crosswalks and parking slots painted?
How hard is that?”
In closing, please accept my sincere hopes that
everyone does take a moment and think about all for
which we should be grateful.
Right after lunch, though, meet me on social media
— and we’ll complain about anything and everything.

Limiting screen time for your kid? It’s harder than it looks

The Associated Press
CHICAGO — It is
Saturday morning, and
10-year-old Henry Hai-
ley is up at the crack of
dawn. Still in PJs, his mi-
crophone-equipped head-
phones glowing blue in
the dim basement, he fix-
ates on the popular online
game “Fortnite” on a large
screen.
“What?! Right as I was

game from his home just

CARROLLTON — A
Mississippi Delta man
is accused of killing a
9-month old boy.
The Greenwood Com-
monwealth reports that
18-year-old Tervonte
Devon Alexander was ar-
rested Friday in Carroll
County and charged with
the murder of 9-month-
old Sawyer Jerrell
Holston.
Officials say Alexan-
der was with the infant
and his mother in Coila

report the boy wasn’t re-
sponding. The boy was
taken to a Greenwood
hospital where he was
pronounced dead.

Friday by the state Med-

Carroll County Coroner
Mark Stiles declared the
death a homicide. Offi-
cials haven’t said how the
baby died or why they
believe Alexander killed
him.
Alexander was or-
dered jailed without bail

TUPELO — A north

of trying to post bail using
counterfeit money.
Local news outlets re-
port 25-year-old Jacob
Shane Coleman of New Al-
bany was arrested Saturday
for shoplifting in Tupelo.
Lee County Sheriff Jim
Johnson says Coleman
tried to post his bail on the

ing a stack of 11 $100 bills.
Johnson says the jailers
checked the money, de-
termined it was fake, and
charged Coleman with

Coleman remains jailed
on Monday. It’s unclear if
he has a lawyer to speak for
him.
The sheriff says the case
will be presented to Lee

Coleman has a prior ar-

Salvation Army
Continued from Page 1A
“This year, we’ll
serve 123 families with
a total of 238 children,”
Smith said.
Smith is the son of
Salvation Army direc-
tors and is well familiar
with both campaigns.
“This is first time
I’ve been in charge of
both at once,” he said.
“I’ve led the charge for
kettles a few years pre-
viously, but I’ve never
been in charge of the
Angel Tree program.”
The logistics in
putting together the two
campaigns are very dif-
ferent. Both are labor-in-
tensive.
For the Red Kettle
Drive, much of the plan-
ning revolves around
recruiting and schedul-
ing the bell-ringers who
man the kettles.
“Normally, we start
booking volunteers
for the kettle program
in mid-October,” said
Smith, who said he’ll be
trying to fill 558 nine-
hour shifts from today’s
opening of the campaign
until it ends of Christ-
mas Eve.
For the Angel Tree
program, the heavy-lift-
ing revolves around
lining up families and
children eligible to
receive the gifts.
“The angels are
selected mainly through
an application process,
although we do get
some referrals,” Smith
said. “It’s pretty time
intensive. We have to sit
down with the families,
get all their information,
do interviews to make
sure they meet the
eligibility requirements.

ily. This year we have

400 years later, natives

who helped Pilgrims gain a voice
‘It’s history. It happened. We’re not going to
solve every problem and make everyone feel
better. We just need to move the needle.’
Michele Pecoraro, executive director of Plymouth 400, Inc.
By WILLIAM J. KOLE
The Associated Press
PLYMOUTH, Mass. — The sea-
side town where the Pilgrims came
ashore in 1620 is gearing up for a
400th birthday bash, and everyone’s
invited — especially the native peo-
ple whose ancestors wound up los-
ing their land and lives.
Plymouth, Massachusetts,
whose European settlers have come
to symbolize American liberty and
grit, marks its quadricentennial in
2020 with a trans-Atlantic commem-
oration that will put Native Ameri-
cans’ unvarnished side of the story
on full display.
“It’s history. It happened,” said
Michele Pecoraro, executive direc-
tor of Plymouth 400, Inc., a nonprof-
it group organizing yearlong events.
“We’re not going to solve every prob-
lem and make everyone feel better.
We just need to move the needle.”
Organizers are understandably
cautious this time around. When
the 350th anniversary of the Pilgrim
landing was observed in 1970, state
officials disinvited a leader of the
Wampanoag Nation — the Native
American tribe that helped the hag-
gard newcomers survive their first
bitter winter — after learning his
speech would bemoan the disease,
racism and oppression that followed
the Pilgrims.
That triggered angry demon-
strations from tribal members who
staged a National Day of Mourning,
a somber remembrance that indig-
enous New Englanders have ob-
served on every Thanksgiving Day
since.
This time, there’s pressure to get
it right, said Jim Peters, a Wampano-
ag who directs the Massachusetts
Commission on Indian Affairs.
“We’ll be able to tell some stories
of what happened to us — to delve
back into our history and talk about
it,” Peters said. “Hopefully it will
give us a chance to re-educate peo-
ple and have a national discussion
about how we should be treating
each other.”
The commemoration known as
Plymouth 400 will feature events
throughout 2020, including a mar-
itime salute in Plymouth Harbor in
June, an embarkation festival in Sep-
tember, and a week of ceremonies
around Thanksgiving.
The Mayflower II, a replica of the
ship that carried the settlers from
Europe to the New World four cen-
turies ago, will sail to Boston in the
spring. That autumn, it will head to
Provincetown, at the outermost tip
of Cape Cod, where the Pilgrims ini-
tially landed before continuing on to
Plymouth.
Events also are planned in Brit-
ain and in the Netherlands, where
the Pilgrims spent 11 years in exile
before making their perilous sea
crossing.
But the emphasis is on highlight-
ing the often-ignored history of the
Wampanoag and poking holes in
the false narrative that Pilgrims and
Indians coexisted in peace and har-
mony.
An interactive exhibit now mak-
ing the rounds describes how the
Wampanoag were cheated and en-
slaved, and in August 2020 tribal
members will guide visitors on a
walk through Plymouth to point out
and consecrate spots where their an-
cestors once trod.
There are also plans to invite rel-
atives of the late Wampanoag elder
Wamsutta “Frank” James to publicly
read that speech he wasn’t allowed
to deliver in 1970 — an address
that includes this passage: “We, the
Wampanoag, welcomed you, the
white man, with open arms, little
knowing that it was the beginning of
the end.”
“The Pilgrims had hardly ex-
plored the shores of Cape Cod for
four days before they had robbed the
graves of my ancestors and stolen
their corn and beans,” the speech
reads.

Caravan migrants weigh options after court blocks Trump ban

The Associated Press
TIJUANA, Mexico
— Migrants camped in
Tijuana after traveling
in a caravan to reach the
U.S were weighing their
options Tuesday after a
California court blocked
President Donald Trump’s
asylum ban for illegal bor-
der crossers.
Many said they have no
intention of breaking the
law, but were feeling pres-
sure after anti-migrant
protests in this Mexican
border city and claims by
Trump and the Tijuana
mayor that the caravan
harbors gang members
and criminals, something
they strongly deny.
Keven Paul Mejia, a
27-year-old former securi-
ty guard from the Hondu-
ran capital, Tegucigalpa,
said there were some de-
linquents traveling with
the group of several thou-
sand who smoke marijua-
na and get drunk.
But, he said, most
are like him, just hoping
to land a job in the U.S.
“There are more of us who
are good, than bad,” Mejia
said.
Herson Cordonez, a
29-year-old Honduran,
said the actions of a few
migrants were tainting the
image of the 4,000 to 6,000
in the caravan, not all of
whom have yet reached Ti-
juana. “We are not crimi-
nals, we are migrant work-
ers,” Cordonez said.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Kentucky gets
victory over
Winthrop
By GARY B. GRAVES
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Of the ar-
eas coach John Calipari can fault
with No. 10 Kentucky right now,
shooting isn’t one of them after
the Wildcats’ best performance
this season.
More important was that they
were accurate early and consis-
tently against Winthrop.
PJ Washington had 19 points
and 11 rebounds, Tyler Herro add-
ed 15 points and Kentucky shot
a season-best 56 percent to run
away from the Eagles 87-74 on
Wednesday.
Coming off Sunday’s tense vic-
tory over hot-shooting VMI, the
Wildcats (4-1) had a far easier
time against the Eagles (2-3) as
they used their size to control the
boards 37-20 and scoring in the
paint (42-24). An 11-0 run to start
the second half helped build a 68-
42 cushion with 12:44 remaining
and they were never really threat-
ened, though several lapses al-
lowed Winthrop to mount modest
runs.
The Eagles never got closer
than 13 in the final minutes as the
Wildcats got needed plays at both
ends of the floor to stay safely
ahead.
“We didn’t end the half well,”
Washington said, “and then in the
second half we just came out and
got stops. That led to fast-break
points, some 3s and the intensity
was a lot better than how we end-
ed the half. It was great, but we
kind of lost it a little bit.”
Washington was the catalyst,
making 7 of 11 from the field on
the way to his second consecu-
tive double-double. Herro left the
game briefly after taking a hard
tumble in the first half but re-
turned to make 6 of 14 with three
3-pointers. He also had seven of
Kentucky’s season-high 20 as-
sists.
The Wildcats made 31 of 55
from the field, the third consecu-
tive game they’ve shot at least 49
percent. Keldon Johnson added 13
points and seven rebounds.

McCowan
makes history
in blowout
By Adam Minichino
aminichino@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Teaira Mc-
Cowan didn’t know she made his-
tory Wednesday afternoon.
The 6-foot-7 senior center
has re-written the Mississippi
State women’s basketball record
book in her first three seasons in
Starkville. On Wednesday, Mc-
Cowan added another highlight
as she became the first Bulldog to
go 11-for-11 from the field in No.
6 MSU’s 106-41 victory against
Furman before a crowd of 6,970 at
Humphrey Coliseum.
“I feel like I am doing a better
job in establishing position early
and then not waiting until the ball
gets to the wing to do my work,”
McCowan said.
McCowan is the first Bulldog
to go perfect from the field on 10
or more attempts. Against Fur-
man, which started only two play-
ers 6-1 or taller, McCowan carved
out space on the block and sealed
position for her teammates to
deliver passes so she could turn
and score with ease. As a result,
MSU had 28 assists on a day it
shot 42-for-67 from the field (62.7
percent). That effort narrowly
missed the all-time best field goal
shooting percentage mark (65.6,
40-for-61) against Georgia State
on Nov. 16, 2017.
McCowan had 16 of her game-
high 24 points in the second half
to help push MSU to 5-0. Mc-
Cowan added 10 rebounds for her
11-straight double-double dating
back to least season. She has
scored 20 or more points in eight
of those games.
McCowan also is closing in on
another record. With 1,076 re-
bounds, McCowan is 32 rebounds
shy of the school record held by
LaToya Thomas.
All told, McCowan has four
double-doubles this season and
43 for her career.
MSU coach Vic Schaefer said
he wants McCowan to keep play-
ing at this level when the Bulldogs
face opponents with more size.

Better blocking helps lead Cowboys’ surge
By SCHUYLER DIXON
The Associated Press
FRISCO, Texas — Zack Martin
can’t pinpoint why the Dallas offen-
sive line was better in consecutive
road wins after a mostly rugged
first half of the season.
The Cowboys right guard has
a few options: time to adjust to the
season-long absence of fellow Pro
Bowler Travis Frederick, a steady
showing from Xavier Su’a-Filo at
left guard for injured rookie Connor
Williams or the position coaching
change to former Dallas lineman
Marc Colombo.
Dak Prescott would suggest
picking any of them. The quarter-
back doesn’t really care.
“I don’t know what we needed
or whatever it was,” Prescott said
Tuesday. “The mindset and the
way that they’re playing right now,
the confidence they have. The way
that they’re communicating is just
something we’re trying to build on.”
NFC East battle
The Cowboys (5-5) can pull even
with Washington (6-4) atop the
NFC East by beating their division
rival on Thanksgiving. The surge
into contention came from the
pair of road wins against the past
two NFC participants in the Super
Bowl: Philadelphia and Atlanta.
Those victories followed an 0-4
start on the road, with communi-
cation along the front among the
primary problems without Freder-
ick, the center and traffic cop who
is out and increasingly unlikely to
play this year because of a nerve
disorder .
Dallas has praised backup cen-
ter Joe Looney , while Martin has
played through a left knee injury
sustained in a preseason game and
aggravated early in the win over the
Eagles. Who knows whether the
2014 All-Pro would be doing that if
Frederick were still alongside him.
“Anytime you lose an All-Pro
player at a position, you can’t re-
place a guy like that,” Martin said.
“But I think guys, through the sea-
son, we’re getting used to playing

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
— Adam “Pacman” Jones’
short stint in Denver is

The Broncos waived
the 14-year veteran Tues-
day after he’d appeared
in seven games, posting
nine tackles and one in-
terception and three pass

opportunity!!! On to the
next !!!”
At 35, Jones might have
a hard time finding anoth-
er team in need of a cor-
nerback/kick returner.
He signed with Denver
in August.

next to each other. We’re extreme-
ly lucky to have a guy like Looney
here to be able to step in and play
the way he’s played.”
Sack issue going away
Sacks of Prescott that were an
issue in the four straight road loss-
es haven’t disappeared. He’s been
dropped 34 times this season, al-
ready a career high, with multi-
ple sacks in eight straight games.
That’s not even including a sea-
son-high six in the opener, a 16-8
loss at Carolina.
But Prescott wasn’t sacked in
the fourth quarter of the wins over
the Eagles and Falcons, when the
Cowboys matched tying scores
with winning drives that featured
a solid mix of star running back
Ezekiel Elliott and clutch plays in
the passing game. Time to throw
for Prescott was crucial in several
of those plays.
“There are still some things we
need to clean up in protection, but
we’re getting better every week and
I think guys have bought in,” Mar-
tin said. “It’s been trending in the
right direction.”
It was trending in the wrong di-
rection the first time the Cowboys
played the Redskins . Elliott rushed
for 33 yards, the second-lowest total
of his career, and the Cowboys lost
20-17 when Brett Maher’s potential
tying field goal from 52 yards hit
the left upright on the final play.
After that loss, the Cowboys
replaced first-year offensive line
coach Paul Alexander with Colom-
bo, the assistant line coach who
played tackle for the Cowboys from
2005-10.
And now, Elliott is coming off
consecutive 100-yard games and
needs 91 yards to overtake MVP
contender Todd Gurley of the Los
Angeles Rams for the NFL rushing
lead. Gurley is off this week.
“The mindset of the way they’re
going to block, that’s credit to Co-
lombo, as much as it is getting back
to the stuff we’ve done in the past
that was more Cowboys football
instead of trick-ems or whatever it
was,” Prescott said. “The offensive
line is doing a great job moving
guys.”
Getting help
The Cowboys signed Su’a-Filo, a
2014 second-round pick by Houston,
for depth in the second week of the
season. A starter in 31 of 32 games
over his final two seasons with the
Texans, Su’a-Filo sat until Williams’
knee injury was diagnosed after a
loss to Tennessee eight weeks later.
Williams, who was overpowered
several times on sacks of Prescott,
is on the verge of returning after ar-
throscopic surgery. There’s no in-
dication Su’a-Filo is headed back to
the bench after his showing against
the Eagles and Falcons.
“Felt good about what Connor
was doing and how he was grow-
ing, but Xavier has gone in there
and done a good job against two
good fronts,” coach Jason Garrett
said. “He has held physically in the
game, has communicated well with
the other guys.”
Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle
Tyron Smith left the Atlanta game
with what he described as a stinger,
replaced by former New England
tackle Cameron Fleming, one of
Dallas’ free agent pickups. Owner
and general manager Jerry Jones
said Smith should play against the
Redskins.
“I just think we’ve done a great
job as a team overall of playing with
all 11 guys,” Elliott said. “Everyone
doing their job, everybody getting
in the right spots and the O-line do-
ing a great job up front.”
NOTES: Jones said on his ra-
dio show Tuesday he expects TE
Geoff Swaim to miss three to four
weeks after surgery for a broken
wrist. ... Rookie WR Michael Gal-
lup remained away from the team
after getting the news following
the Atlanta game that his brother
had died by suicide. There is still a
chance Gallup will play against the
Redskins. ... C Adam Redmond was
added to the injury report Tuesday
with a concussion. He didn’t prac-
tice.

“I think you have to find
ways to run the quarter-
back to get your numbers
right, and then you have
to make plays,” Ole Miss
coach Matt Luke said.
“You can’t have drops,
you have to be able to ex-
ecute. The field shrinks
down there and there’s a
lot of man-to-man, so you
have to win your 1-on-1s
and you have to pound the
ball in there.
“We have to find a way
to get touchdowns, but I
think it’s execution for us.
There is no one certain
thing. It’s getting down
there, executing and may-
be using (quarterback)

MSU’s red zone defense is
a challenging proposition.
The Bulldogs lead the
SEC and the nation by al-
lowing opponents to score
a touchdown on just 25.81
percent of its red zone
trips. Defensive tackle
Jeffery Simmons said in
October MSU’s red zone
success is a matter of
communication and phys-
icality.
Luke sees that on film
as the staff tries to find a
way through — it’s possi-
ble the Egg Bowl depends
on it.
“They had a big goal-
line stand against Ala-
bama and I think they
didn’t give up a running
touchdown all year at
home, so very formidable
against the run,” Luke
said. “This is our last
game, we have to find a
way to get it down.
“Sometimes it comes
down to a matter of want-
to and big boying up down
there and pounding it in. I
think we’ll have to do that
some to win this game.”

A week ago, West Point beat Lafay-

A year ago, West Point beat Olive

“The win against them earlier this

West Point has forced 20 turnovers

“That has been the theme in practice.”

stretched from the first quarter into the
second to take a 46-7 lead.
MSU, which entered the game shoot-
ing 34.7 percent from 3-point range, was
8-for-11 from beyond the arc in the first
20 minutes. The eight treys were the
Bulldogs’ most in a game this season.
Bibby led the way from 3-point range,
going 4-for-4 from deep. She hit both of
her treys against Coppin State to stretch
her streak to six in a row before she
missed a 3-pointer in the third quarter.
MSU coach Vic Schaefer has said
multiple times that Bibby worked hard
to improve her shooting in the offseason.
He said she continues to be in the gym
to polish a shooting stroke that is even
more valuable this season following the
graduation of Victoria Vivians, Roshun-
da Johnson, Blair Schaefer, and Morgan
William.
“One of the things I wrote on the
board today was the game honors tough-
ness,” coach Schaefer said. “Chloe Bibby
is in the gym. That’s why she is shooting
the ball well. She has prepared herself
for these moments. She is in there more
than anyone on my team. She is there
early every day. From my perspective
as a coach, she is being rewarded. The
game is rewarding her because she is
putting in the time.”

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Stellar field takes shape for inaugural tournament in British Columbia

By TIM BOOTH
The Associated Press
VANCOUVER, British Co-
lumbia — For a debut tourna-
ment, the organizers of the
Vancouver Showcase could not
have done much better putting
together an elite field.
The tournament getting
underway Thursday includes
top-ranked Notre Dame, No. 9
Oregon State and No. 13 South
Carolina. But it’s more than just
the top of the field that makes
it such a solid tournament in
its first year. It also includes
Rutgers and coach C. Vivian
Stringer, who just picked up her
1,000th victory to become the
fifth women’s Division I coach
to reach the mark, and teams
like Drake, Gonzaga and East
Tennessee, who were all picked
to win their conferences in pre-
season polls.
In other words, this isn’t
a pushover field for the elite
teams to march through, even if
the idea of a final featuring No-
tre Dame against either South
Carolina or Oregon State would
be an appealing early-season
opportunity.
“It certainly is among the
strongest ever put together,”
Notre Dame coach Muffet Mc-
Graw said. “There isn’t any oth-
er place in the country where
you will see this sort of talent in
one event. This is a mini-NCAA
tournament. It’s going to be
great basketball that week.”
The opening games feature
Notre Dame vs. Gonzaga and
Rutgers vs. Drake on one side of
the bracket; and South Carolina
vs. East Tennessee and Oregon
State vs. Western Kentucky on
the other half. The men’s half
of the tournament wrapped on
Wednesday, but ended up fea-
turing just four teams playing
a modified round-robin format.
Originally, organizers hoped to
have two eight-team fields for
both the men and women, but
they struggled to fill the men’s
field.
There wasn’t the same prob-
lem on the women’s side.
“It’s a tremendous oppor-
tunity. You usually don’t get to
play the best team in the coun-
try until later rounds or the
championship game,” Gonzaga
coach Lisa Fortier said. “But we
are excited and our players will
be challenged. We are really
looking forward to competing
against the best. I’m looking
forward to it and our players are
as well.”
The defending national
champion Irish are certain-
ly the headliners and at some
point during the three days
Notre Dame is likely to face its
first major test of the season.
The Irish opened with easy
wins over Harvard and Penn be-
fore knocking off No. 16 DePaul
by 24 points on their way out to
Vancouver.
The Irish haven’t shown any
reason they shouldn’t be No. 1
and haven’t let last year’s title
linger into this season so far.
Gonzaga has never knocked
off a No. 1 team and this will
be its fourth chance. But the
most interesting first-day game
to watch could be Rutgers
against Drake. Stringer won
her 1,000th game last week
in a blowout win over Central
Connecticut State. But Drake
is on the cusp of breaking into
the AP Top 25 — the Bulldogs’
were the fourth team outside
the poll this week — and a good
showing in Vancouver could
land them in the poll.
“Vancouver is a destination
for great hoops this week,”
said women’s tournament di-
rector Deb Antonelli. “The
past two women’s champions
are here — South Carolina and
Notre Dame. Vancouver want-
ed high-level hoops and we
brought it here with a talented
NCAA tourney-like field.”

he became upset because he
thought I was trying to sepa-
rate him and his daughter. I
tried to explain that the article
says you should love yourself
first, but he still misunder-
stood me. I told him I’m tired
of him doubting us and my
love. He isn’t sure if we are
going to get married in two
years.
What should I do? I want
this relationship to work, but
at the same time I feel like he
is dragging me nowhere. —
VERY INSECURE IN CALIFOR-
NIA
DEAR VERY INSECURE:
You say that although you
have met this man’s friends,
you still have yet to meet any
members of his family. Why
not? After 2 1/2 years, this is
a red flag. That after all this
time he says he isn’t sure he
wants to marry you is an even
bigger one.
Put your cards on the table
with him as you have with me,
and tell him you think it would
be better for both of you to
start seeing others because
even after 2 1/2 years he still
isn’t ready for a commitment
and you are.
really good for us. Happiness is
wanting what you already have.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Try-
ing new things puts you in a fun
mood. It doesn’t even matter
how well they turn out. All the
fun is in the way your senses
wake up when you’re doing
something for the first time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’ll get several assists today
from those around you, people
behind the scenes, even those
at a distance or in other realms.
It’s like you’re a universal favor-
ite and everyone wants to make
things a little easier for you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Serving tradition will be just
as satisfying as breaking it, so
no matter which way you go,
you can’t go wrong. Why not
try to do a little of both? Also
the more inclusive you are, the
better you’ll feel.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). When you talk to an elder,
you’re talking to all the ages
that person has been, and you
can connect with any of them
just by aiming your conversation
well. The older generation will
light the path to treasures of
the soul.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Take a deep breath in and
know that you don’t have to be
anyone other than who you are.
You are accepted and loved
no matter how hard you do or
don’t try. So just relax and enjoy
yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). When things are still uncer-
tain, be certain anyway. You’ll
be the rock, the idea person
who saves the day with a wink
and a smile. You’re not doing
it to be a hero, it just turns out
that way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’re beyond capable and
could conceivably do most, if
not all, of today’s work on your
own. But why? Sharing the work
is even more fun than sharing
the play.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’re not about to let for-
malities get in the way of form-
ing bonds. Fussy extras are only
fun if they don’t distract from
the main goal, which is to foster
a sense of belonging between
all who gather with you.

Business
Do these 5 things by Dec.
31 to cut your tax bill
By NerdWallet
It may seem too early to start think-
ing about your tax return, but procras-
tination could cost you thousands of dol-
lars. Here are a few simple maneuvers
that could save you a bundle on your tax-
es — if you make them by Dec. 31.
1. Move money into a 401(k)
Traditional 401(k)s can shield a de-
cent chunk of your income from taxes.
In 2018, you can funnel up to $18,500
($24,500 if you’re 50 or older) of your pay
into one and avoid paying taxes on that
money until you withdraw the funds. If
your employer offers a match on contri-
butions, you’ll get free money to boot,
and those matching dollars are on top of
the $18,500 limit.
If you don’t have access to a 401(k),
you may still be in luck — you may be
able to shield up to $5,500 from taxes
($6,500 if you’re 50 or older) by putting
the money into a traditional IRA. If you
qualify, the size of the tax deduction de-
pends on your income and whether you
or your spouse is covered by a retirement
plan at work. Bonus: You have until April
15, 2019, to move money into an IRA and
still make it count as a 2018 contribution.
(And yes, it’s possible to contribute to a
401(k) and a traditional IRA in the same
year.)
2. Bunch your charitable donations
Itemizing on your taxes generally
only pays off when your itemized deduc-
tions add up to more than the standard
deduction (and in 2018, the standard de-
duction is much higher: $12,000 for sin-
gle filers, $18,000 for heads of household
and $24,000 for joint filers). That’s why
charitable donations and other itemized
deductions might not get you much of a
tax break if they’re so small that you just
end up taking the standard deduction in-
stead. It’s no reason to stop giving, but
you may want to tinker with the timing.
Donating one big amount instead of a
series of small amounts could change the
tax game, says Kerry Garner, a CPA at
Patterson Hardee & Ballentine in Frank-
lin, Tennessee. A married couple might
not score a tax break from a $15,000 an-
nual donation, for example, but bunch-
ing the donations into a $30,000 gift ev-
ery other year could, he notes.
3. Sell the losers
If you made money on the sale of in-
vestments in 2018, you might have some
capital gains tax to pay in April. But you
might be able to offset some of those
gains with losses.
“If you’ve got an event that generates
a significant capital gain during 2018 —
maybe that happened earlier in 2018 or
sometime throughout the year — to the
extent that you’ve got investment hold-
ings that are sitting at a loss position,
it makes sense to liquidate those losses
during the year to offset capital gains,”
explains Nicholas Shires, a CPA and tax
partner at Dannible & McKee in Syra-
cuse, New York. If your losses exceed
your gains, you may be able to deduct
the difference on your tax return, up to
$3,000 per year ($1,500 for those mar-
ried filing separately).
4. Make a decision on that divorce
If you’re still negotiating with your
soon-to-be ex and expect to pay or re-
ceive alimony, keep an eye on the cal-
endar. In general, for divorces finalized
after Dec. 31, alimony payers will no
longer be able to deduct their payments,
and alimony recipients will no longer
have to include that money as taxable
income. “If you’re the one that’s going to
be paying the alimony, you would want
it to be finalized prior to December 31,
2018,” Shires says.
5. Meet your tax preparer
The sooner your tax preparer has an
idea of how your year is shaping up, the
sooner he or she can find you more ways
to save. That’s especially true for people
who are self-employed or have unusual
sources of income, Garner notes. “I try
to do it the first week of December, so it
still leaves them plenty of time to actual-
ly get things done,” he says.

Mississippi sawmill announces $40M expansion

Mill plans to hire 45 more workers
The Associated Press
NEWTON — A Missis-
sippi sawmill will invest
$40 million to increase
production by 50 percent,
with plans to hire 45 more
workers.
Michigan-based Biew-
er Lumber announced the
expansion Tuesday at its
Newton sawmill, a little
more than a year after
the company opened the
facility. The expansion is
projected to be complete
by late 2019, bringing the
total number of employ-
ees to 170.
CEO Tim Biewer says
increasing demand is
driving the move. The
sawmill’s capacity will
expand from 200 million
to more than 300 million
board-feet per year. That
additional production will
create spinoff activity
among loggers and truck-
ers, with wood demand
rising by 400,000 tons per
year.
Mid-Mississippi Devel-
opment District Executive
Director Newt Ishee says
local officials are granting
an agreement that will cut
property taxes by two-
thirds for 10 years. Such
a deal is only available
to a company investing
more than $60 million,
but Ishee says officials
have determined that
Biewer should be eligible
because it invested $85
million before opening
the mill in April 2017. The
threshold to qualify for
the big tax break used to
be an investment of $100
million until the Legisla-
ture lowered it this year.
Ishee was away from
his office Wednesday
and couldn’t immediate-
ly say how much the tax
break would be worth.
Mississippi Development
Authority spokeswoman
Tammy Craft said Biewer
would save $17.3 million
over 10 years from an in-
dustrial-property-tax ex-
emption on the original in-
vestment and expansion,
but those breaks are less
lucrative. The company
is also projected to save
$624,000 over 10 years on
inventory-tax exemptions
from the original invest-
ment and expansion.
Craft said Biewer will
pay an average salary of
$35,000 per year, which
she said would enable the
company to get rebates on
worker income taxes.
