Humble beginnings
The daughter of an
architect and a medical
record administrator,
Smith’s affinity for design
was born at an early age.
After graduating from
Callaway High School,
she went on to Mississip-
pi State where she was
among the first students
in the MSU School of
Architecture, which was
founded in 1973.
Listening to lectures
from revered New York
Times architecture crit-
ic Ada Louis Huxtable to
Philip Johnson — who de-
signed the Sony Tower in
Manhattan — Smith was
enamored with the pro-
fession and the prospect
of working in civil plan-
ning.
“All these were names
in the 1980s that were the
rock star names in archi-
tecture,” she said. “And
most of them had an influ-
ence not only (on) build-
ings but cities. And that
was amazing to be able to
learn from them.”
Following her days in
Starkville, she went on to
New York where she com-
pleted a masters degree
in urban planning at City
College.
Far from her roots in
Mississippi, it was in the
bright lights of Manhat-
tan that she began to find
her calling.
“I sought out this job at
Battery Park City, which
was developing 92 acres
at the tip of lower Man-
hattan,” she recalled.
“And that included office,
residential, retail, but im-

esplanade and these real-
ly wonderful public spac-
es and sort of having that
as a launching pad for my
career.”
With her early New
York-centric experienc-
es in tow, Smith quickly
climbed the ladder, mov-
ing to Los Angeles to
work on the reinvigora-
tion of downtown L.A. and
the renovation of Persh-
ing Square.
But with the slow
movement of downtown,
she sought something
faster paced.
Sitting in the stands at
Memorial Stadium in Bal-
timore taking in an Ori-
oles game, Smith had an
epiphany.
“Baltimore had already
reinvented itself with the
aquarium and the water-
front esplanade and the
convention center,” she
recalled. “And I thought
maybe the whole notion of
putting a ballpark down-
town just brings another
3 million people into the
center of a city.”
Ballpark builder
Larry Lucchino still re-
members the letter.
Then the president of
the Baltimore Orioles,
Lucchino was in the midst
of overseeing the devel-
opment of what is now
Orioles Park at Camden
Yards in 1989.
With a stack of re-
sumes and letters asking
for employment before
him, he shuffled through
the deck. Of those, it was
assault for the shooting
and with “instigat(ing)
a violent fight alongside
other gang members,”
according to arrest affida-
vits. Nave shot the victim
with a handgun in the left
arm and right foot, the
document said.
The victim was taken
to OCH Regional Medical
Center and later to the
University of Mississippi
Medical Center in Jack-

Andrews said the child
was breathing on his own

and that his condition is

later taken to University
of Mississippi Medical
Center in Jackson via

urday afternoon because
high winds grounded
emergency helicopters for
medical transportation.

Smith’s that caught his
eye.
“I remember saying
to people at the time that
she was the best free
agent hire that entire off-
season,” Lucchino said.
“Had I known better I
would’ve said over sever-
al seasons.”
He remembers ask-
ing her a question as she
walked into his office for
an interview.
“Before you sit down,
tell me which league has
a designated hitter?” he
asked.
“I’m offended by the
question,” Smith retort-
ed.
Looking back, Lucchi-
no concedes the remark
was snide and in poor
taste, but it offered some
insight into Smith’s in-
tense desire to succeed
in baseball.
“One thing I love about
baseball now is in many
respects it’s just a big
Central Park for a city,”
Smith said. “It’s a mixing
place, it’s a place where
we come as a society and
root for the same thing.
It’s kind of amazing ... be-
cause it’s 81 games a year
to lift the civic psyche.”
Working on Lucchi-
no’s team, Smith helped
construct Baltimore’s lat-
est ballpark by combin-
ing hints of traditional
stadium style with new
and improved ideas.
“We wanted a tra-
ditional old-fashioned
ballpark with modern
amenities,” Lucchino
said. “Why no one had
done anything new that
was also traditional was

Health official:
No ‘short list’
of vaping illness
suspects
By MIKE STOBBE
and CARLA K. JOHNSON
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Health
officials acknowledged
Friday they are still look-
ing at a wide range of prod-
ucts and chemicals that
could be causing the U.S.
vaping illness outbreak.
A large majority of the
more than 1,600 people
who have been sickened
said they vaped prod-
ucts containing THC, the
high-inducing ingredient
in marijuana, but it’s likely
something else — or per-
haps several things — are
to blame, officials say.
“We don’t have a short
list” of suspect substanc-
es, Mitch Zeller of the U.S.
Food and Drug Admin-
istration told reporters
Friday. And there may be
more than one cause of the
illnesses, he said.
The outbreak appears
to have started in March.
Illnesses have been re-
ported in every state ex-
cept Alaska, many of them
teen and young adults. At
least 34 have died.

He was born April 11, 1946, in Columbus, MS,
the son of the late Norma Craig and Willis Pope,
Jr. He was a 1964 graduate of S. D. Lee Senior
High School in Columbus and a 1969 graduate
of The University of Mississippi, where he was
a member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity. He lat-
er received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in
Agronomy from Mississippi State University.
While a student at Ole Miss, he met his future
wife, Carolyn Wood Pope, on the campus of Mis-
sissippi University for Women.
Willis was commissioned a 2LT at Ole Miss
in 1969 and completed Infantry Officer School
at Fort Benning, GA. He then became a Combat
Intelligence Officer. He was deployed to Vietnam
in November 1969 and served as an Intelligence
officer in Saigon for one tour. He then joined the
Special Forces and served in the Army Reserves
1975-1981 and was promoted to Captain. In No-
vember 2018, The Department of Veterans Af-
fairs declared him fully disabled due to his being
exposed to Agent Orange while in Vietnam.
Willis had a diverse career path and worked
for Edward Jones, AmSouth Bank, Weyerhae-
user, McCrary Real Estate and Farmers Home
Administration. He enjoyed contributing to the
Commercial Dispatch via Letters to the Editor.
Willis was an avid reader, intellectual, and out-
doorsman with a variety of interests ranging
from religion and politics to gardening, hunting
and fishing.

investigation
By ERIC TUCKER
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A
judge has ordered the Jus-
tice Department to give
the House secret grand
jury testimony from spe-
cial counsel Robert Muel-
ler’s Russia investiga-
tion, handing a victory to
Democrats as they gather
evidence for the impeach-
ment inquiry against Pres-
ident Donald Trump.
In a Friday ruling that
also affirmed the legality
of the impeachment in-
quiry itself, U.S. District
Judge Beryl Howell or-
dered the department to
turn over the materials by
Oct. 30. A Justice Depart-
ment spokeswoman said
it was reviewing the deci-
sion. The administration
can appeal.
The ruling in favor of
the House Judiciary Com-
mittee comes as Demo-
crats gather closed-door
testimony from current
and former government
officials about the Trump
administration’s efforts to
get Ukraine to investigate
political rival Joe Biden.
The Mueller materials
could reveal previously
hidden details to lawmak-
ers about Trump’s actions
during the 2016 election
and become part of the im-
peachment push.
The material covered
by Howell’s order consists
of redacted grand jury
testimony mentioned in
Mueller’s report. The Jus-
tice Department says that
information is the only
piece of the document that
key lawmakers have not
had access to.

Voice of the People Partial to Home

Reader responds to city PIO’s
letter to citizen
While I am not a fan of Lee Roy Lollar’s
political positions, I do empathize with his
suspicion of the Columbus City Council in
particular and the City in general.
The Council has made numerous
missteps in the fairly recent past. We have
seen it punish policy violations without
the benefit of self-awareness; demonstrate
a failure to keep abreast of such import-
ant considerations as the city’s financial
state; employ a City Attorney who, in my
opinion, occasionally functions as an ad-
vocate for the best interests of the Council
despite the fact that they are not aligned
with the best interests of the City; attempt
to limit public commentary at its meetings
to commentary pre-approved by the Coun-
cil; use its power to surgically punish in-
dividual businesses which had not broken
any laws; undermine a relationship with
an organization that has delivered billions
of dollars of economic development to the
area; extort another organization for tax
revenue to which it was not entitled under
the law, blowing up an important stream of
tax revenue in the process; and repeatedly
sidestep the very transparency laws that
exist to enable citizens like Mr. Lollar,
myself, and the press to understand and
comprehend the actions of the Council
and their justification for those actions.
Sadly, the above is not an exhaustive
list.
“Many great things” may be happening
in our city every day, but the council has
been involved in a “great many things”
which are decidedly questionable, proba-
bly avoidable, and impossible for anyone
not on the Council to understand because
the Council has repeatedly attempted to
operate without the level of transparency
required by law. Given that history and
your capacity as Columbus’ Public Infor-
mation Officer, Mr. Dillon, it’s ironic to
find you engaged in publicly berating a cit-
izen for their lack of understanding of the
Council’s actions and resultant criticism.
I’m glad that citizens like Mr. Lollar
are able and motivated to regularly attend
Columbus City Council meetings. Left
to its own devices, I believe the Council
would happily shrug off the yoke of public
oversight.

Catfish ponds, cotton fields
… and a coffee house?
T
ry to hold these
two images in
your mind. A
young Mennonite man
who spends workdays
with his father, Michael,
installing and adjusting
control panels for aera-
tors in catfish ponds in
Noxubee County.
Now picture that same
young man with several
friends on the streets Birney Imes
of Manhattan’s Upper
West Side in a trendy neighborhood
coffee house on say, Amsterdam
Avenue or West 126th Street.
After six months of church vol-
unteer work in that city of towering
skyscrapers and unrelenting noise,
after many cups of coffee in its cof-
feehouses, the young man, enchant-
ed by the warm glow and sense of
belonging he experienced in those
places, came home determined
to recreate the experience for his
community. A community scattered
amid catfish ponds, vast fields of
cotton and along gravel roads.
Meet Andrew Yost, 24, who four
years ago, traveled to New York
City with his church, the Church of
God in Christ Mennonite, to work
in a food pantry and a hospital.
During their down time, Yost and
his friends walked the city streets,
occasionally taking respite in a
coffeehouse.
“It was something to break up the a corner of the shop lost among the
day,” he said.
Along the way, the young elec-
trician developed a taste for good
coffee.
Not long after he returned home,
OUR VIEW
he began his search for
an espresso machine. He
found it in New Orleans
on Craigslist.
He set up the machine
in a room — what had
been the “rec room” for
Andrew and his three
brothers when they were
kids — over the metal
building on Boswell Road
he and his father use for
a shop and declared it a
coffeehouse.
RBT Coffee. Yost credits his
mother, Cheryl, for the name; the
letters stand for “Roastin’, Boastin’
and Toastin’.”
So far, so good, but for two
hiccups. People started showing
up at all hours wanting a drink, and
he was spending a lot of money on
coffee.
He solved the first problem
straightaway by setting hours: 7:30
p.m. on the first Thursday of the
month or by appointment. That’s
right, open one night a month.
Yost educated himself about cof-
fee roasting by reading online and
corresponding with other Menno-
nite roasters around the country, in
particular one in Idaho.
He built a roaster that uses forced
air blown up through a heating ele-
ment into a stainless steel cylinder
that holds about six pounds of green
coffee beans. The apparatus sits in
overflowing tool drawers and imple-
ments of the electrical trade.
Yost records his roasting profiles
on a computer connected to his
roaster (His screen saver is a night
shot of the Brooklyn Bridge).
Coffee is anything but a uniform
product, and it is the coffee roaster’s
challenge to find the combination of
time and temperature to maximize
the potential of a given coffee bean.
It can get tedious, Yost says.
“Coffee roasting is one of those
subjects the more you get into it the
more there is to it.”
Fortunately Andrew comes from
a family of heavy coffee drinkers,
a kind of built-in test market. It
should come as no surprise that
they are enthusiastic about his new
avocation.
For much of the interview, An-
drew and I, in overstuffed chairs,
sipped Americanos amid the living-
room-like decor of his coffee house.
A fire flickered in the faux fireplace;
the dim light reflected off the
chrome of his espresso machine.
While you wouldn’t mistake the
setting for the Upper West Side of
Manhattan, it seemed distant from
the gravel roads and metal grain
bins just outside.
“I enjoy people and this was a way
to get good coffee myself,” he said.
Some nights only a handful of
people show up at RBT; other nights
the place is packed, he says.
Google “RBT Coffee Noxubee
County” to see the website Andrew
designed for his coffee company.
And, if you happen to be in that cor-
ner of Noxubee on the first Thurs-
day of the month and in need of a
caffeinated beverage, you’re in luck.

Clarification on how ballots

Columbus
are counted
Mr. Terry made some interesting points
in his letter, and I would like to address
one: the ability of a person to vote absen-
tee then on election day vote at the polling
place. Yes that can happen but there exists
the check and balance process in place
that only allows the vote at the polls to be
counted. That’s the one counted because
it cannot be identified. Having been a poll
watcher on two occasions. After all other
votes have been accounted for, the poll
workers compare the absentee ballots
envelope names to the books showing who
voted in person. If one has voted in person
then that absentee ballot is not counted
but is set aside. This process is the only
logical way to do this step since state law
allows one to vote absentee then also vote
at the polls. The absentee ballot identifies
the voter while the in person vote cannot
be found then canceled.

Roses and thorns
A rose to the congregations past and
present of Shaeffer’s Chapel, which
celebrates at significant milestone this
morning. Two hundred years ago, a
handful of white settlers, black slaves and
native Americans gathered to worship
in a simple log cabin in the section of Lowndes County
known as The Prairie. For two centuries, the church has
tended to the spiritual needs of generations of worshipers.
New buildings have been erected, including the current
chapel, built in 1878 to replace the original little cabin.
There have been 42 pastors over that period. Today, as
part of the celebration, church-goers will hear a sermon
written by the first of those pastors, Rev. George Shaeffer,
for whom the church is named. Shaeffer’s Chapel stands
not just as some silent reminder of the past. With a mem-
bership of 270 people, it remains as active in meeting the
needs of its community as it did when the first worshiper
gathered in the little cabin on The Prairie 200 years ago.
A rose to the staff at our circuit clerk
offices, who are giving up a part of their
weekends to accommodate voters in the
upcoming Nov. 5 election. Saturday the
circuit clerks offices were open from 8
a.m. until noon to allow people to cast absentee ballots for
the Nov. 5 election. The offices will be open during the
same hours next Saturday. Lowndes County circuit clerk
Teresa Barksdale said absentee voting is up compared
to previous elections, which is always a good indicator of
turnout for Election Day itself. We encourage all regis-
tered voters to make their voices heard, either on Nov. 5
or, if you are unable to go to the polls that day, via absen-
tee ballot. The folks at the circuit clerk’s office will be
happy to see you.
A rose to the American Red Cross and
Oktibbeha County Emergency Services,
which are collaborating on an effort to
install smoke detectors in the homes
throughout the county at no cost to the
residents. Sign-up sheets for the smoke
detectors were distributed and 375 citizens responded,
300 alone in District 5. The Red Cross supplies the smoke
detectors while EMS installs them. While there, they also
review fire-safety information. These efforts come at a
time of year where the risk of residential fires are highest.
Nearly two-thirds of all fire-related deaths occur in homes
with no functioning smoke alarms. We thank the Red
Cross and EMS for teaming up on this project.

Local Voices

There are many things to be proud of in Columbus

By Joe Dillon
In one of Lee Roy Lollar’s recent
always-critical letters published in this
paper, he said that someone asked him:
”why can’t you write something positive
about the City?” His reply was, “give me
something positive!” I want to thank Mr.
Lollar for reminding me to look for the
good in Columbus each day.
With letters that are so insulting it is
easy to get sucked into his quagmire of
negativity, and forget how blessed we are
in Columbus. Here then is “something(s)
positive.”
In the recent years, the City has seen
significant retail growth. We have five
major national hotels that have opened
in the last several years. Recently, we
cut the ribbon on a Hobby Lobby, Dick’s
Sporting Goods and Michael’s. We have
a fresh Chick-fil-A, Cracker Barrel, Cook-
out, Logan’s Road House, Buffalo Wild
Wings, Lost Pizza Company, Grill at
Jackson Square, Pepper’s Deli and Long
Horn Steak House. We have a new soccer
complex and Riverwalk. Significant work
is being done at our Community Centers
and Propst Park. We are recovering
from a flood and tornado with the help of
caring volunteers, the city, state and fed-
eral governments. We are working to be
better prepared for the next storm. The
Community Recovery Group of Lowndes
County has received a $250,000 gift from
the state to help our citizens.
We have Zaxby’s, McCallisters, Mug-
shots, and a new Burger King. Kroger re-
cently completed a significant expansion
and renovation. Ashley Furniture and
Umi’s Restaurant are active in our city.
Other restaurants such as Harvey’s and
Old Hickory continue to bring visitors to
Columbus.
A new bowling alley hosts tourna-
ments throughout the year. Premier
Ford has remodeled its showroom. Carl
Hogan and Columbus Nissan have in-
vested heavily in Columbus. Judge Gayle
Guinup has upgraded many buildings
downtown. We have a new Love’s Travel
and Fuel Center. Zachary’s Restaurant
has just reopened after a rebuild that
saw the good citizens of Columbus come
together to support a family restaurant.
Lee Middle School is being transformed
into an upscale apartment complex and
entertainment venue. Leigh Mall has
been purchased.
Bank of Commerce is about to build
a new bank and Bank of Vernon is near
opening in a new bank building. There
are new medical offices in Columbus and
Baptist Memorial continues to invest in
providing even more medical care for our
citizens.
Marvin’s Building Supply is moving
into the old Winn Dixie location after
significant remodeling. We continue to
host athletic tournaments of all types in
our City, and our local businesses always
benefit from events from MUW and
MSU.
Don’t forget our existing businesses
that have been with the City through
thick and thin. We have New Home
Building, Cash and Carry, and Lowe’s.
We have Military Hardware, Sun-
flower Grocery Store, and numerous
family-owned businesses. These local-
ly-owned businesses believe in Colum-
bus. An active downtown Columbus
filled with hundreds of apartments and
local businesses looking ahead to the
approaching holidays. There isn’t room
to list them all.
Johnston-Tombigbee Furniture contin-
ues to furnish hotels and motels through-
out the world with furniture that is 100%
made by their skilled employees in their
modern factory on Waterworks Rd. We
are home to Mississippi University for
Women that equips our young leaders in
specialties that are as diverse as health
care to culinary arts.
Columbus Air Force Base is home to
pilots and their families that are serv-
ing and protecting America all over the
world through our great military.
Did you know that this year, MSMS
was honored to be named NICHE’s 6th
best public high school in the NATION?
It was also ranked as the #1 ranked fac-
ulty in the nation and the #1 best public
high school in Mississippi.
For nine years in this newspaper, I
wrote a weekly column called “The Busi-
ness Bus.” In it, I highlighted business
news and changes and had a great time
doing so.
Today I am asking our two local news-
papers to print a monthly guest editorial
that I will write with good news about Co-
lumbus. I hope they will agree to do so.
God has blessed Columbus and con-
tinues to do so ... if you look for it.
As for my friends, family and me, we
are bullish on Columbus.
Joe Dillon is the public information
officer for the City of Columbus.

ways have, by opening our
homes, but that’s as far as
we ever intended to go as
far as the 2020 Pilgrimage
goes.”
On Oct. 21, PSC presi-
dent Dick Leike appeared
before the CCHF board to
try to clarify his group’s
position and talk about the
transition, but the board
voted to table the motion
with no further discus-
sion.
Friday, CVB/CCHF
board member Whirllie
Byrd, who opposed ta-
bling the motion at that
meeting, called a special
meeting of the CVB to re-
open those discussions on
Monday.
Although Leike and
PSC members have at-
tended two CCHF meet-
ings, Monday’s will be the
first appearance before
the CVB, which provides
the funds used to conduct
Pilgrimage.
“What we are asking
for is for the CVB to pro-
vide the same funding
for our nonprofit that it
has provided for anoth-
er nonprofit for the same
purposes — putting on
the Pilgrimage,” Novotny
said.
The meeting should
also clear up the confu-
sion about which entity
will operate the 2020 Pil-
grimage.
CCHF has already
started preparations
for the event, including
spending $65,000 on ad-
vertising.
CVB executive direc-
tor Nancy Carpenter said
her group expects to con-
duct Pilgrimage in 2020
as it has always done.
“These are just my per-
sonal thoughts, but it’s a
board decision, but I can
see (the heritage founda-
tion) managing Pilgrim-
age (in 2020),” she said.
“I know the board told
(PSC), ‘You can have it
now,’ but they said they
didn’t want it now. So
it seems to me, again
just my thought, that we
should go ahead and man-
age it.”
Carpenter said she had
hoped both the PSC and
CCHF boards could meet
informally to settle differ-
ences, but Novotny said
the PSC prefers to meet
publicly.
“Our position is that
while we know both par-
ties need to sit down
and work out solutions,
it needs to be in a pub-
lic meeting,” she said.
“We want this to be open
and transparent and that
means having it as a pub-
lic meeting.”

Other Pilgrimage events

While Monday’s meet-
ing should provide an-
swers about who will op-
erate the Pilgrimage next
spring and funding for the
event once the PSC takes
over, another question
emerges.
Since CCHF began
operating Pilgrimage in
2008, several other events
have been added to the
Pilgrimage schedule out-
side of the tour of homes,
such as a kickoff crawfish
party, a 5K run, horse-
drawn carriage rides,
double-decker bus tours
and Tales From the Crypt,
which is a production of
The Mississippi School
for Math and Science.
Novotny said it’s un-
clear how many of those
events will be a part of the
Pilgrimage once the PSC
takes over operations.
“We are looking at dif-
ferent things that support
Pilgrimage,” she said. “I
think what you will see

Gig ’Em-ed
MSU’s middling season reaches a
screeching halt in College Station
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com

COLLEGE STATION, Tex-

as — With coach Joe Moor-
head as its conductor, the Mis-
sissippi State football team’s
train wreck of a season finally
went off the rails.
Following two weeks of im-
passioned pleas, tearful tales
and a notion that last week’s
loss to No. 2 LSU offered a
glimmer of hope in what has
been a hopeless season in
Starkville, Moorhead’s squad
presented itself as the same
old doomed Dawgs of games
past during Saturday’s 49-30
loss to Texas A&M in College
Station.
“We knew going into the
game we’d been decimated
by injury, were going to have
a bunch of young guys and
replacements in there having
to play significant and pivotal
roles,” Moorhead said. “But at
the end of the day, we didn’t
get the thing done.”
In what has become the cli-
chéd narrative of the 2019 sea-
son, it was a slow start on the
road that buried the Bulldogs
for what felt like the 187th
time this year.

‘This is our second chance’

With win over Northeast, EMCC sneaks into state playoffs
By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com

SCOOBA — Jason Brownlee caught the fourth-down

pass in the middle of a crowd.
He sprinted left, outstripping the Northeast Commu-
nity College secondary, and put up two fingers as he
prepared to cross the goal line. The East Mississippi
Community College sophomore receiver was penalized
for the gesture — the first time he can remember being
called for unsportsmanlike conduct for it.
“Threw the deuces up,” Brownlee said. “They
flagged me for that.”
His 35-yard touchdown, which looked unlikely when
Brownlee first received the ball with a host of North-
east defenders around him, transformed Saturday’s
game. Instead of giving Northeast the ball back in a
two-score game, the Lions went ahead 17-0, added on
and managed to hold off the Tigers.
EMCC (6-3) finished off Northeast (3-6) by a score
of 30-22 in Saturday’s homecoming game, giving the Li-
ons an unlikely berth into the MACJC playoffs. EMCC
will travel to face No. 1 Mississippi Gulf Coast (9-0)
next Saturday.
“This is our second chance,” Brownlee said. “We’ve
gotta take advantage of that. We’ve gotta finish it off
strong.”
EMCC’s offense wasn’t always stellar, and its de-
fense was prone to the occasional lapse, particularly in
a troublesome second half. But the Lions did what they

WASHINGTON — singled off the pitcher’s
José Urquidy outpitched
all those big-name aces
who preceded him, the
unheralded Houston
rookie quieting Washing-

Houston and Washing-

Series that has been one
big road show.
Alex Bregman busted
out of his slump with a go-
ahead single in the first
inning and a grand slam
in the seventh, and the re-
surgent Astros routed the
Nationals 8-1 Saturday
night to tie the Series at
two games apiece.
“We did a great job to-

said. “I think Urquidy
was fantastic to start us
off and got us on the right
foot.”

MISSISSIPPI STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK
Weatherspoon to miss exhibition;
Bulldogs’ forward depth evident
By Garrick Hodge
ghodge@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — A few
weeks ago when the Mis-
sissippi State men’s bas-
ketball team announced
an exhibition with South
Alabama, MSU coach
Ben Howland planned on
having junior guard Nick
Weatherspoon play in the
contest.
Weatherspoon, who
will be serving a 10-game
suspension to start the
season, will miss Sun-
day’s exhibition after
suffering a concussion in
practice on Tuesday.
“That’s probably better
for us from the standpoint
of we have 10 games com-
ing without him, so we
have to start getting used
to it,” Howland said.
MSU fans will have
their first opportunity to
see how the team looks
with a Weatherspoon-less
backcourt against Divi-
sion I oppo-
nent South
Alabama at
3 p.m. Sun-
day at the
Hu mph rey
Col iseum.
A d m is s ion
Weatherspoon
to the con-
test will be
free to the public with
doors opening at 2 p.m.
Sunday also serves as
a charity exhibition to
benefit the United Way of
West Central Mississippi
and those affected by the
flood waters in the South
Delta.
South Alabama, com-
ing off a 17-17 season,
features five players in
its rotation that averaged
13 or more points per
game last year. In addi-
tion to returning players
Josh Ajayi, Don Coleman,
Trhae Mitchell, that in-

ing.”
Yuli Gurriel also
drove in a run in the
first as Houston strung
together four singles in
a seven-pitch span for a
2-0 lead against Patrick
Corbin. Robinson Chiri-
nos homered for the sec-
ond straight day, a two-
run drive that boosted the
lead to 4-0 in the fourth.
Fans started leaving
in the seventh, when the
Astros sent 10 batters to
the plate and battered
the bullpen. Bregman,
who began the night in a
1-for-13 Series slide, had
the big blow, driving a
low, inside fastball from
Fernando Rodney into
the left field stands of the
ballpark where was the
All-Star Game MVP in
2018. He held his bat high
as he slowly walked out
of the batter’s box, then
cludes Howard graduate
transfer Chad Lott and
American University
transfer Sam Iorio.
“We’re going to try
and win, so we’re going to
play our top guys,” How-
land said.
Meanwhile, sopho-
more small forward Rob-
ert Woodard II hurt his
toe earlier this week, but
is hopeful to play against
South Alabama.
Howland expecting big
things from frontcourt
Give anyone affiliated
with the men’s basketball
team an opportunity and
they’ll gush about the op-
tions the Bulldogs have at
forward.
“I’ve never played with
this many good guys,” ju-
nior 6-foot-11 forward Ab-
dul Ado said.
Of course, most sets
will be run through soph-
omore 6-foot-10 forward
Reggie Perry, a first-team
preseason All-SEC selec-
tion. Howland mentioned
the Bulldogs have kept
stats for every practice
they’ve had and Perry is
dominating the team’s re-
bound lead, with the next
closest player being 60 re-
bounds behind.
“I’ve mentioned one of
(Reggie’s) best skills is
his ability to pass and cre-
ate for others,” Howland
said. “That’s something
we want to continue to try
and work on.”
But between Perry,
Woodard, sophomore
forward Prince Oduro,
Ado and junior forward
KeyShawn Feazell, the
fifth-year head coach is
expecting big production
from that group.
“I think we have more
depth on our front line
than we did a year ago,”
The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com
took nearly 30 seconds to
circle the bases.
“Was just trying to
hit the ball in the air and
drive in a run, and ended
up driving in four,” Breg-
man said.
Orange-clad Houston
fans in the right field up-
per deck chanted “Let’s
go Astros!” as Nationals
fans were silenced. Wild-
card Washington lost con-
secutive games for the
first time since Sept. 13-
14 against Atlanta.
Starting pitchers were
the talk of the Series
coming in, with Washing-
ton’s Stephen Strasburg,
Scherzer and Corbin
combining for 12 All-Star
selections and three Cy
Young Awards. The base-
ball cards of Houston’s
Cole, Justin Verlander
and Zack Greinke shine
with 17 All-Star picks, two
Howland said. “I’m ex-
cited about that and the
competition we have
there. Where we’ll be a
little iffy here early on
without the services of
Nick Weatherspoon is on
the perimeter. We’re so
young in that backcourt.”
Senior Tyson Carter
will start at point guard in
Weatherspoon’s absence
and will move to the two
when he returns. In the
meantime, look for fresh-
man Iverson Molinar and
redshirt freshman D.J.
Stewart to see significant
minutes early in the year.
Feazell tossing fried
food to the side
When KeyShawn Fea-
zell ended last season at
250 pounds, he didn’t like
how he was feeling.
“I couldn’t move like I
wanted to,” Feazell said.
So, Feazell got to work.
“In the time we had off,
I did a lot of conditioning
to get my body right,”
Feazell said. “(I started)
by eating better with no
fried foods.”
Since the end of last
season, Feazell is down
nearly 30 pounds. He
says he’s much quicker
and leaner and hopes to
contribute more than he
did a season ago, where
he only averaged 4.6 min-
utes and 0.6 points per
game.
He’s still a regular at
Chick-Fil-A, but instead
of the chicken strips —
the hardest thing to give
up, Feazell said — he or-
ders the grilled nuggets
or grilled chicken sand-
wich.
“I have to stay away
from fried foods,” he said.
“I lost this weight and feel
good about it so I have to
maintain it.”
Cy Youngs and one MVP.
But there were just five
1-2-3 innings by starters
in the first three games,
and the most consecutive
outs were by the Nation-
als’ Aníbal Sánchez, who
retired seven straight in
Game 3.
Urquidy, a 24-year-old
right-hander, exceeded
them all.
He wasn’t even an-
nounced as Houston’s
starter until after Game
3, with manager AJ Hinch
hoping to piece together
innings any way he could.
The right-hander be-
gan the season at Dou-
ble-A Corpus Christi,
was bumped up to Tri-
ple-A Round Rock in mid-
May and made his major
league debut in July. He

Elliott blows engine in playoff practice
The Associated Press
MARTINSVILLE, Va.
— Chase Elliott had just
one plan after his engine
failed in the opening min-
utes of practice for the
playoff race Sunday at
Martinsville Speedway.
“It’s pretty simple,
we need to try to win,”
NASCAR’s most popular
driver said.
The engine made by
Hendrick Motorsports
failed just five laps in to
the first of Saturday’s two
practice sessions for the
opening race in the third
round of NASCAR’s play-
offs. Elliott was pragmat-
ic as the No. 9 team made
the engine change that
will send him to the back
at the start of Sunday’s
race.
Elliott is now suscep-
tible to dropping a lap
down at NASCAR’s short-
est track if his Chevrolet
is not perfect at the start.
The paperclip-shaped
0.526-mile oval takes un-
der 20 seconds per lap,
and the leaders could be
on Elliott’s bumper in no
time.
“We broke a motor
there, five laps in, and
yeah, unfortunate way
to start the day and it is
what it is at this point,”
Elliott said. “Starting in
the back will be unfortu-
nate in the first stage, but
there’s nothing I can do
now.”
Elliott completed 58
laps in the second and
final practice session be-
fore Saturday afternoon
qualifying, then later re-
deemed his day by qual-
ifying second behind
Denny Hamlin. Although
Elliott will forfeit that
starting positon, he still
got second choice of pit
stall and that positioning
should aid his efforts to
salvage a strong finish.
The round of eight
began with strategical
changes from Team Pen-
ske, which swapped the
Brad Mills/USA TODAY Sports
do Valenzuela (1981) and
Jaime García (2011) as
the only Mexican starting
pitchers in Series history.
Urquidy allowed two
hits in five scoreless in-
nings, striking out four
and walking none. Mix-
ing four-seam fastballs in
the mid-90s (mph) with
two-seamers, sliders,
curves and changeups,
he set down the Nation-
als in order in the second,
fourth and fifth, retiring
his final nine batters. He
threw 30 of his first 38
pitches for strikes, 45 of
67 overall.
Josh James, Will Har-
ris, Héctor Rondón, Brad
Peacock and Chris De-
venski combined for two-
hit relief.
Washington’s best
chance to get back into
the game came in the
sixth, when Harris re-
over-the-wall pit crews for
contender Ryan Blaney
and Brad Keselowski,
who was eliminated last
week. The jackman from
Blaney’s crew went to
reigning series champion
Joey Logano. The jack-
man was part of Logano’s
race-winning, champi-
onship-clinching team
at Homestead-Miami
Speedway last year.
“We had a rookie jack-
man this year who has
made a lot of good gains
over this season, but I feel
the opportunity to put
basically the same team
together that won the
championship last year
for the next few races, I
think was a smart play,”
Logano said. “We defi-
nitely needed some speed
from the pit crew side of
things and putting the
band back together from
where it was last year
when we won the champi-
onship makes sense, so I
was on board with that.”
Kevin Harvick felt the
lingering effects from
Stewart-Haas Racing’s
poor weekend at Kansas,
where the No. 4 Ford
failed inspection three
times and was issued a
30-minute practice hold
Saturday. It gave the team
time for just 25 laps in the
morning during an abbre-
viated two-day NASCAR
weekend. He was also the
lowest qualifying playoff
driver at 22nd.
Logano led the first
practice session, but he
was followed by the trio
of title threats from Joe
Gibbs Racing. Martin
Truex Jr. and Hamlin
were second and third,
while Kyle Busch was
fourth as the Toyotas con-
tinued to be among the
best every session. Ham-
lin is a five-time winner
at Martinsville, and his
victory last weekend at
Kansas was his fifth of
the season.
The Gibbs group is
heavily favored to gobble

lieved with two on and
one out. Anthony Rendon
leg, loading the bases,
and Juan Soto drove in
a run with a groundout.
Harris then struck out
Howie Kendrick. After
going 7 for 21 with run-
ners in scoring position
in the first two games, the
Nationals are 1 for 19 in
the last two.
Houston flipped for the
positive, going 9 for 23
with RISP after starting
3 for 17 in the two losses.
The Astros burst ahead
with timely hitting for
the second straight night,
getting consecutive one-
out singles by José Al-
tuve, Michael Brantley,
Bregman and Gurriel.
Brantley had three
hits, raising his Series
average to .471 (8 for 17).
Bregman also finished
with three hits.
Chirinos, who hom-
ered off the screen on
the left field foul pole to
drive in Houston’s final
run in Game 3, sent a flat
changeup from Corbin
deep into the left field
seats, then slapped his
chest and grinned as he
skipped across home
plate. The catcher dou-
bled in the ninth and is 4
for 11 against the Nation-
als.
Signed to a $140 mil-
lion, six-year contract as a
free agent last offseason,
Corbin dropped to 1-3 in
three postseason starts
and four relief appearanc-
es. He actually lowered
his ERA to 6.64.

the final four champion-
ship race next month at
Homestead.
“There’s not really any
weakness I see in our
team at this point,” Ham-
lin said. “It’s just the un-
knowns that can take you
out, and I can’t control
the unknowns.
But Busch was a bit
prickly Saturday and
has seemed resigned to
luck, not skill, playing too
heavy a role in the cham-
pionship. He predicted
Sunday will come to a fi-
nal chaotic restart, with
all racing respect disre-
garded. The regular-sea-
son champion has had a
mediocre playoffs and his
mood has echoed his per-
formance.
“With just respect to
late in the race coming
down to late restarts ...
nobody has any care for
anybody else at that time
and you just run over any-
body you can run over,”
Busch predicted of the
Martinsville finish.
As for his approach?
“Whatever comes up
next, tackle it when it
gets there,” Busch said.
“What are you going to
do? I can’t tell you that
I’m going to have a per-
fect race and everything
is going to be clean and
I could go out there and
win Martinsville. If we
could, let’s go home. You
just have to tackle it as it
comes against you and
deal with it then.”
The contenders to
Gibbs are Logano — who
took the title away last
year in an upset — Pen-
ske teammate Blaney and
2014 champion Harvick
for Ford.
The Chevrolet group is
led by Elliott but includes
dark horse Kyle Larson,
who confirmed Saturday
he has been racing with
a fractured rib since his
crash two weeks ago at
Talladega Superspeed-
way.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ALABAMA 48, ARKANSAS 7

Mac Jones, No. 1 Alabama dominate Arkansas 48-7 minus Tua
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Mac
Jones passed for 235 yards and
three touchdowns filling in for
injured Alabama star Tua Ta-
govailoa and the top-ranked
Crimson Tide coasted to a 48-7
victory over Arkansas on Satur-
day night.
Even without the Heisman
Trophy candidate Tagovailoa,
the Tide (8-0, 5-0 Southeast-
ern Conference) raced to a
41-0 halftime lead and Jones
only played one drive into the
second half. The Razorbacks
(2-6, 0-5) couldn’t muster much
challenge on either side of the
ball in what turned into a dra-
ma-free tuneup for Alabama’s
game in two weeks against No.
2 LSU.
Jones completed 18 of 22
passes and finished up with a
40-yarder in the end zone for
his second touchdown throw to
Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy caught seven
passes for 103 yards with Jones
& Co. proving they can still de-
liver some big plays even with-
out Tagovailoa.
Najee Harris rushed for 86
yards and a pair of 1-yard touch-
down runs. Cornerback Trevon
Diggs scored on an 84-yard
interception return in the final
seconds before the half, a week
after returning a fumble 100
yards for a score against Ten-
nessee.

starting role at quarterback
for Arkansas after Ben Hicks

suffered a left shoulder injury
against Auburn. Starkel com-
pleted just 5 of 19 passes for
58 yards and was intercepted
three times.
Redshirt freshman John Ste-
phen Jones got the Razorbacks
on the board with a touchdown
pass to start the fourth quarter.
Alabama’s win set the stage
for a two-week buildup to the
latest Game of the Century.
LSU did its part by beating No.
9 Auburn 23-20. The big ques-
tion will be if Tagovailoa can re-
cover in time from a right ankle
injury.
In the meantime, he watched
from the sideline as his little
brother got some playing time.
Freshman Taulia Tagovailoa
played much of the second half
and showed his own scrambling
ability.

Arkansas: Has lost 13
straight to Alabama and is 0-15

HOUSTON — Kevin Perkins ran for his first
two touchdowns as a Golden Eagle, and the South-
ern Miss defense smothered Rice 20-6 on Saturday.
Perkins gave Southern Miss a 10-0 halftime lead
with a 2-yard run to cap a 10-play, 67-yard drive. He
added a 38-yarder up the middle with 32 seconds
left in the game.
The Owls (0-8, 0-4 Conference USA) managed
only 8 yards rushing and 131 in the air. The Golden
Eagles (5-3, 3-1) had a season-high eight sacks, led
by Jacques Turner with 3½.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Kansas State deals blow to

No. 5 Oklahoma’s title hopes
The Associated Press
MANHAT TAN, Kan. — Skylar
Thompson and Kansas State dealt a big
blow to No. 5 Oklahoma’s national title
hopes.
Thompson threw for 213 yards and
ran for four touchdowns, the defense
did just enough against Heisman Trophy
contender Jalen Hurts and the Sooners’
prolific offense, and Kansas State held
on through a harrowing fourth quarter
for a 48-41 victory Saturday.
It wasn’t certain until Oklahoma (7-1,
4-1 Big 12) tried on onside kick with 1:45
left. The ball caromed downfield and the
Sooners recovered, but a review showed
one of their players touched it a yard ear-
ly.
The overturned call allowed new
coach Chris Klieman to run out the clock
on the Wildcats’ first home win over the
Sooners since 1996, and just their third
win in Manhattan over a Top 10 team. It
was the third consecutive week a Top 10
team lost to an unranked foe.
James Gilbert ran for 105 yards and
LSU (8-0, 4-0 Southeastern Confer-
ence) is off next week before going to
No. 1 Alabama on Nov. 9.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed for
136 yards and touchdown for LSU, which
wasn’t able to put away Auburn (6-2, 3-2)
until Derrick Dillon recovered an onside
kick with 2:31 left.
While LSU’s prolific, up-tempo
spread offense was able to roll up 508
yards, scoring proved relatively difficult
against a defense that thwarted drives
into its territory with two fourth-down
stops and an interception.
No. 3 Ohio State 38,
No. 13 Wisconsin 7
COLUMBUS, Ohio — J.K. Dobbins
rushed for 163 yards and two touch-
downs, Chase Young was nearly un-
blockable with four sacks and Ohio State
routed Wisconsin in driving rain.
Dobbins slashed Wisconsin’s top-
ranked defense for long gains in the
second half, including scoring runs of 9
and 14 yards. He outperformed Badgers
Heisman Trophy contender Jonathan

a touchdown and Joshua Youngblood
also reached the end zone to help the
Wildcats (5-2, 2-2) snap the Sooners’

BULLDOG BULLETS

MSU delivers another poor road showing in loss to Texas A&M

Saturday did nothing to dis-

pel the narrative Mississippi
State is incapable of winning on
the road.
The Bulldogs came out flat

a 49-30 victory at Kyle Field in
College Station, Texas. Really,
two MSU fourth-quarter gar-

the score look better than it re-

In the not-too-distant future,
MSU coach Joe Moorhead is
probably going to say some-
thing about how hard his team
fought and commend his play-
ers for not giving up, while dou-

victories from the defeat.
None of that changes the
fact MSU laid another egg on

season.

Offense shows glimpses of

competence in second half
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Mis-
sissippi State coach Joe Moorhead has
long preached the Bulldog offense was
close to finding itself.
In the latter stages of Saturday’s
49-30 loss at Texas A&M, Moorhead’s
words finally came to fruition.
Following a dismal first half effort
guided by freshman quarterback Gar-
rett Shrader, the Bulldogs leapt to life
to the tune of three second half scores.
Shrader, who was a middling 4 of 15
with one touchdown and one intercep-
tion in the opening two quarters, fin-
ished the game completing 9 of his 15
passes and tossing two touchdowns.
Speaking with reporters postgame,
Shrader said Texas A&M brought a
string of blitz packages that necessi-
tated a read at the line of scrimmage.
With a handful of missed reads in tow,
the Charlotte native found himself on
his rear end rather than following a re-
ceiver upfield to the line of scrimmage
in the first half.
“I missed some things early and my
eyes were in the wrong spots and didn’t
give us a chance really to throw the
ball or set the protection when they did
bring some extra guys,” Shrader said.
“So I had to get the ball out quick and
just didn’t convert there early.”
With Shrader finding his footing in
the second half, junior running back
Kylin Hill returned to form as well —
finishing his day with 150 yards and a
touchdown on 21 carries.
Seeking more creative ways to get
the Columbus native the ball, Moor-
head dialed up a number of swing pass-
es and pre-snap motion to get his star
running back to the edge.
Further, Hill said he changed his
approach this week. Avoiding the
high-flying acrobatics he’s flashed al-
most weekly, he shifted his game more
toward a downhill, power-based formu-
la.
“I changed my running style a lit-
tle bit from previous games,” he said.
“I was trying to be finessed, I got out
there and hit the hole with power like I
have always been doing.”
“I thought he was running with
more physicality and pad level,” Moor-
head added. “I think we played a pretty
physical game up front, and I think the
guys did a good job of that through the
course of the week, and he was seeing
it well, and he ran hard, and the guys
blocked well up front.”
With Hill back on track coupled
with Shrader’s ability on the ground,
the Bulldogs totaled 135 of their 239
rushing yards in the second half.
Beyond the ground game, it was the
explosive plays Moorhead ceaselessly
emphasizes week to week that also be-
gan to click.
After totaling 10 chunk plays —
rushes of 10-plus yards or passes of
15-plus yards — against No. 2 LSU last
week, MSU finished Saturday’s contest
with nine in the second half alone.
Most notably, it was the emergence
of Kansas State transfer Isaiah Zuber
that aided in the big-play department.
Still grinding through garbage time,
Shrader hit Zuber for a 38-yard score
with 49 seconds remaining in the game
to cap off the latter’s three-catch, 58-
yard performance.
“I think the past two games and you
saw him in the return game as well and
then getting opportunities in the slot
and at the X-receiver position he made
a bunch of big plays, and that’s kind of
what we anticipated and hoped for en-
tering the season,” Moorhead said.
“To his credit, even though the ball
wasn’t coming his way early in the
year, he kept his head down and kept
working, and obviously his opportuni-
ties have increased,” he continued.
While Saturday’s game was anoth-
er reminder of MSU’s inability to start
games, particularly on the road, there
was a level of cohesion to Moorhead’s
offense in the second half against the
Aggie defense — one that figures to
bode well down the stretch.
“When a true freshman quarterback
is in there with some young guys, the
explosive nature of the offense, Kylin
running it well, they have to support
the run without pressure or secondary
force and then we can take advantage
of one-on-one matchups,” Moorhead
said. “When it gets to where it needs to
be, I think this is probably representa-
tive from an explosive-play standpoint
and a balance standpoint of where we
want it to be.”

lost to Itawamba at home
on Thursday, but the Li-
ons were more than hap-
py to see the upset.
“When Itawamba fi-
nally beat Northwest,
it sounded like a bomb
went off in our dorm be-
cause the kids were yell-
ing and screaming,” head
coach Buddy Stephens
said. “They were excited
about having a second
opportunity. Not many
places in life do you get a
second opportunity.”
But the former “Last
Chance U” is one of
those places, and the
Lions showed Saturday
they wanted that second
chance.
A 23-point first half for
EMCC with its defense
pitching a shutout for
the half was more than
enough to get the Lions
to the playoffs. After a

goal, Keon Moore scored

Late in the second
quarter, after Brownlee
raced for his 35-yard
score, backup quarter-
back Jamari Jones just

kick was blocked, and
EMCC went into halftime
with a three-score lead
that was soon up to four
scores.
Julius Coates strip-
sacked Northeast quar-
terback Jack Mangel
and returned the fumble
for a touchdown, giving
EMCC its biggest lead of
the day at 30-0.
“I was going, ‘OK, let’s
roll,’” Stephens said. “It
just happened to be the
deciding score.”
Northeast got three
unanswered scores to
get back in the game in
the second half. Mangel
found Xavier Malone for
a 21-yard touchdown pass
in the third quarter, and
Jay Lofton ran in a 2-yard
score in the fourth.
On fourth-and-17 with
under three minutes to
go, Mangel connected
with a wide-open Hayden
Brice for a 36-yard score.
The ensuing two-point
conversion made it a one-
score game.
But EMCC recovered
the onside kick, and two
first-down runs from Zias
Perryman effectively
sealed the game.
“Whether it’s by 1 or
by 21, it’s still a W,” Ste-
phens said.
The Lions know the
task that awaits them on
Saturday night in Perkin-
ston against the nation’s
top junior college football
team, but for Stephens,
getting the chance is just
what EMCC wanted.
“I think all things in
the universe are right
when Gulf Coast and
East Mississippi are
playing for some type of
championship or to go on
somewhere,” Stephens
said. “We’re excited and
looking forward to that
opportunity.”

Celebrating
the blues

Deborah Mansfield does a “live painting” of the scene before her during a “Night at the Museum” fundraiser Wednesday in the building that
will house the new Black Prairie Blues Museum in downtown West Point. The interactive museum, expected to be completed in about two
years, will be an entertainment and educational asset drawing more visitors to the Golden Triangle.

Momentum builds for new interactive museum

D
eborah Mansfield moved paintbrush
over canvas, deftly capturing the
scene before her Wednesday night
during a fundraiser for what looks destined
to become a regional must-see attraction —
the Black Prairie Blues Museum. Her paint-
ing would be auctioned off that evening to
benefit development of the ambitious project
in downtown West Point. Progress and plans
are fueling momentum. Long a dream of the
Black Prairie Blues Society, the museum will
be located in the former Bank of West Point
building at 640 Commerce St. It will greatly
expand on the current but cramped Howlin’
Wolf Blues Museum on Westbrook Street.
Howlin’ Wolf (1910-1976) was born in Clay
County and became a towering figure in
the Chicago and worldwide blues scene. His
legacy inspired West Point’s annual blues
festival that has become a Labor Day week-
end tradition. While the new museum will
pay tribute to Wolf, it will also explore other
blues pioneers with roots in Mississippi and
especially the Black Belt Prairie region.
The acquired building already has re-
ceived a new roof and plumbing, electrical
and air handling improvements. Renderings

of proposed features are ready. And Wednes-
day’s “Night at the Museum” gala, held in
the former bank, gave the public a glimpse
into just how innovative the museum can be.
“We wanted to open up the building
and get people interested in seeing what’s
happening here,” said Mansfield, a Blues
Society board member and artist. “People
are curious about it. We wanted to show
them ideas.”
Those concepts include guitar-playing
holograms, narrating dancers, interactive
instruments, immersive exhibits, a juke joint

experience — and everywhere, the blues.
Mansfield has worked on design concepts
for the past two years. The firm Museum
Arts out of Dallas, Texas, has, she said, em-
bellished them to be truly “out of the box.”

Faye Asadi, Lee Gibson, Ar-

are among visual artists prepar-
ing work for the show and sale.

I’ve been working on, acrylic

said Branch, of Columbus.
Arthur Smith of Fairhope,
Alabama, will return to create
portraits in pastels by appoint-
ment. After photographing
each subject, Smith usually
makes a preliminary drawing
that evening, followed by a brief
sitting the following day. He is
then usually able to complete
the portrait in about one and
a half hours. He will remain
in Columbus for several days
after the show to continue his
portraits.
“I can work with photos if
people are not available, but
I prefer taking a photograph,
which I can do in a short
amount of time,” he explained.
Prices are $150 for one person,
plus $60 for each added subject.
To schedule an appointment

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: My 20-year-old
daughter has been dating
a wonderful young man for
two years. He’s 21, almost 22.
He treats her exceptionally well.
She has decided on a whim
that she has “an itch” to know
what it’s like to “be with” other
people! (They were each other’s
first everything.) I do understand
that thought or “itch,” but I don’t
feel it NEEDS to be acted upon.
When she told him, it broke
his heart. When I asked him if
he was OK, he responded, “No,
but I will be. I just want her to Dear Abby
be happy.” It brought tears to
my eyes. He’s such a wonderful
young man.
My daughter has no idea what a huge mis-
take she’s making. Of course I want to support
her no matter what, but I feel her actions are
mean and selfish. How do I convey
this to her but also be supportive?
— EMOTIONAL MOM IN BALTI-
MORE
DEAR MOM: It is better that
the boyfriend knows your daugh-
ter’s true feelings. Having said
what she did has freed him to
move on.
Tell her you are glad she con-
fided in you, you think she had a
solid gold winner in the young man
she has been with for the last two
years, and you will always be there
to emotionally support her if she
needs it. That’s all you can do at
this point.
DEAR ABBY: Have people now
decided they cannot travel without their dogs?
My sister and her husband take an annual
trip to visit my parents, who live six hours from
my family. Because they pass near our town,
they stop and visit with us, too. I love seeing
my sister, but they bring their large dog and
expect us to keep our Siamese cat locked
up while they’re here. (Our kitty is terrified of
dogs.) They tend to stay at least four or five
days, during which time we must keep our cat
in our bedroom with his litter box and food.
Their dog is sweet, but he makes a big
mess when he eats, and they don’t scoop his
poop until the end of their visit. Once they’re
gone, I vacuum up dog hair for weeks.
Any questions I ask — “Could you wipe up
‘Rover’s’ dinner?” — are met with either “In a
minute” (never) or “He’s such a messy eater.
Ha ha!” When I tried to be frank about the
problem of having to lock our cat up and the
kibble all over the floor, my sister got upset and
told our parents we were “anti-dog people” who
didn’t appreciate their efforts to visit family.
Any suggestions on how to deal with these
visits? I don’t want to cause a family feud over
a five-day visit every year, but I’m beginning to
dread them coming. — OVER IT BIG TIME
DEAR OVER IT: If you haven’t told your par-
ents what you have written to me, you should
because they should hear your side of this.
Perhaps they can get through to your nervy
sister that what she’s doing is rude, inconsid-
erate and an imposition. Then tell your sister
you would love to see her, but if she’s bringing
Rover with her, you can accommodate her for
ONE night, not five — and repeat the rules she
must follow while she’s there.
DEAR ABBY: I gave my mom a surprise 90th
birthday party. My cousin and his wife and their
two adult children and three grandchildren
came. I paid $23 a head for a sit-down dinner.
Mom was given a scented candle from all of
them, but the kicker is my cousin sells them,
so it cost them nothing. Is there any way I can
tell them how cheap they are without causing a
war? — UNFAIR IN THE EAST
DEAR UNFAIR: I don’t recommend you
broach that subject the way you presented it to
me. It would have been better if more thought
had been devoted to selecting a gift, but what
you paid for the dinner should have no bearing.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 27).
You’ve often felt the world was trying
to make you into something you were
not. This year, the world seems only
to support the person you want to be.
This new level of help all around you
allows you to let down your resistance
and be carried by life’s flow. You’ll
work without frustration, delighted
by fast progress. Taurus and Gemini
adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5,
33, 50, 19 and 44.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Hearts are made out of remarkable
stuff. They are built to be resilient and
yet can somehow remain tender at the
same time. Is it strange to be awed
by your own compassion? Maybe, but
nonetheless, it’s your destiny today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
mark of high intelligence is not the
absorption of information but the
curiosity that causes you to seek it in
the first place. That curiosity will lead
you to unexpected places today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Imag-
ine your pain as though it were a mar-
ble trapped in a puzzle box of sliding
doors and triggers. Keep investigating.
Keep trying different moves until you
find a way to release this pain and
watch it roll right out of your life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). We
are always teaching each other. The
attractive moves and unattractive
moves we make all get absorbed
by the people around us. Today this
principle will work for you. You’ll like
what’s reflected back to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As for the
trillions of microorganisms that live
on your body, what if your stress were
tantamount to their Armageddon and
your happiness were their Eden? In
that case, happiness would be not
only your choice but also your respon-
sibility.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re
allowed to interrupt your own nega-
tivity, which is best done with polite
redirection. Think of your negativity as
a person, and then follow the rules of
friendly discourse, which sometimes
include a deft change of subject.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
long ago learned that home might be
a place but it’s never only a place.
Home is seldom where a person is
born. It’s sometimes where a person
stays. It’s always where a person
hates to leave.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Feelings are interesting to have, to
witness, to cause. We have names for
feelings, and this helps us process
them, though it should be noted
and respected (especially today)
that those names are almost always
reductive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
If there’s something that’s worth ask-
ing over and over again, it’s the simple
three-word question “Is that true?”
To ask it of what you read and hear
is a no-brainer. To ask it of what you
already know — that’s next-level.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
In a world where many are friends of
vicinity who secretly don’t want the
other to succeed, you make it a point
to do the opposite. You celebrate the
success of your friends by supporting
publicly and with enthusiasm.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There are but two choices today: to be
comfortable and inert or uncomfort-
able in action. Mostly the discomfort
of work will be ever so slight. You’ll
hardly even notice, in fact.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Literally, the word “pulchritudinous”
means the more or less the same as
“beautiful,” but audibly, not so much.
The pulchritudinous people will crave
your vibes today. So will the beautiful.

EMCC MARKETING
SPECIAL TO THE DISPATCH AND COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT

T E
he scrapbook titled
“Lowndes County in the
World War (World War I)”
has been digitized by the Local
History Department at the Co-
lumbus-Lowndes Public Library
System (CLPL) for inclusion on
the Mississippi Digital Library
(MDL). The scrapbook was
originally created by the Bernard
Romans Chapter of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution
(DAR) in 1919. The digital
version captures a hardbound
photocopy of the original along
with an index.
The scrapbook, covering
1917-1921, contains many photo-
graphs, newspaper clippings and
letters of servicemen and women
from Lowndes County. The
scrapbook documents war activi-
ties both abroad and at home.
It was compiled in response to
an April 1918 call by the Missis-
sippi Department of Archives
and History (MDAH) for each
chapter of the DAR to submit a
“War Scrap Book.” According to
a 1919 article from the Columbus
Dispatch, the purpose of each
scrapbook was to record the
“part each county played in the
great drama of war ... accurately
and attractively”.
The submission was part
of a contest in which chapters
competed for a prize of $50. The
prize went jointly to the Missis-
sippi Delta Chapter of Rosedale,
Bolivar County and the Belvidere
Chapter of Greenville, Washing-
ton County. Honorable mention
went jointly to the Bernard
Romans and Shuk-ho-ta Tom-a-
ha Chapters, both of Lowndes
County.
Upon completion, the scrap-
books were sent to the MDAH
with the plan to return them to
their respective counties after
two years for preservation pur-
poses.

Ford said.
The MFACJC serves as an advocacy agency for
faculty and other non-administrative employees who
provide instructional support. Among other things, the
MFACJC facilitates an open dialogue among legislators
and other educational organizations to promote the
mission of the state’s community and junior colleges.
The MFACJC also coordinates Capitol Day, an
annual spring event in which students, faculty and staff
gather at the Mississippi State Capitol in Jackson to
stress the role that community and junior colleges play
in providing educational and economic opportunities
to residents in the state.
Guest speakers during this year’s Capitol Day,
which took place Feb. 27, said for every $1 spent on
education in Mississippi, 7 cents goes to community
and junior colleges, with 18 cents dedicated to universi-
ties and 75 cents earmarked for kindergarten through
12th grades.
“With the myriad of services Mississippi’s com-
munity and junior colleges offer to their students, to
our communities and to our state, that amount simply
is not enough,” Ford said of the funding allocated to
community and junior colleges.
Ford, who has taught creative writing, literature
and English at EMCC for 23 years, is a past president
of MFACJC, having served in that position more than
a decade ago. She is in her second year as president of
the EMCC Faculty and Staff Association.
In April, she was named the 2018-19 Educator of the
Year by the Columbus Lowndes Chamber of Com-
merce.
She said her top priority will serving as an advocate
for faculty members.
“Faculty members are the ones in direct contact
with our students on a daily basis,” Ford said. “Not only
do we teach, but we also advise and guide our students
as they transfer to a sister university or graduate to en-
ter the workforce. Teaching at a community or junior
college is a passion. Working together with our college
presidents, alumni and community leaders, faculty at
our community and junior colleges make vast differ-
ences in our students’ lives.”

IN THE GARDEN WITH FELDER

A Lycoris, by any other name

I
have more
naked
ladies
dancing
through my
garden than I
know what to
do with.
Of course
I’m referring
to the blood
red flowers
that’ve been Felder Rushing
popping up
on knee-high
leafless stems since
autumn’s first good
rain. I know most of you
call them “spider” lilies
because the curved-
back petals and long
protruding stamen look
kinda like daddy long-leg
spiders. You might also
think of “naked ladies”
as their close cousin
with large pink trumpets
that appear leafless in
mid-summer.
Not that it matters. De- in the fall which die down
scriptive folk names are
all good; because these
leafless flowers appear
seemingly out of the clear they flower in the fall,
blue, they’re sometimes
called resurrection,
surprise or magic lilies.
In Colonial Williamsburg quire sunshine all winter
they’re referred to as
British soldiers, though
they weren’t introduced
to America until the
mid-1800s. Coastal and
Florida gardeners have
long called them hurri-
cane lilies.
If you want
to get very
specific, go
with the Latin
name of these
Amaryllis kin;
red spider lil-
ies are Lycoris
radiata; yellow
or golden
ones are
Lycoris aurea,
and the big
pink summer
one is Lycoris
squamigera. I grow those
and a couple others. By
the way, they’re uniquely
Southern plants — they
survive only in mild win-
ter climate zones.
Enough of this. The
nitty gritty of growing
and sharing them is fasci-
nating on its own.
The daffodil-like deer-,
squirrel- and vole-proof
bulbs sprout pale-striped
monkey grass type leaves
in the spring after form-
ing the following summer
and fall flower buds, and
each stem garlanded with
seven to nine spidery
flowers. The leaves re-
to form flower buds, but
they can get plenty even
in shade if they are under
deciduous trees that drop
leaves in the fall.
They are easy to dig
and divide right now,
while you know where
Naked ladies? Spider lilies? British soldiers? Whatever
you call them, these leaveless flowers often turn up in
unexpected places.
they are. But before I get
to that let me dispel a
horticultural myth. The
reason they shoot up all
over the place, including
in abandoned fields and
even along the interstate
highways, is because
their autumn seed pods
get scattered by wind and
mowers. Seedlings can
take two or three years or
only by bulb division; the
wild-collected species
imported since then from
their native China are
actually quite fertile. My
old friend Brent Heath,
a prolific third-genera-
tion bulb from Virginia
regarded as the South’s
top bulb expert, told me
he has them coming up
by the thousands in his
century-old garden, in
places they were never
planted. He said they’re
pollinated by Sulphur
and other butterflies, and
later the seeds scatter
everywhere. Who you
gonna believe?
Brent also explained
why newly-planted spider
lilies take a couple of
years to flower. “Their
roots start to grow when
they are flowering, and if
the roots dry out they will
struggle the first winter
Felder Rushing/Courtesy photo
more to reach flowering
maturity, but over the de-
cades they have become
naturalized all over the
South.
So why do many online
experts say they don’t
make seed? Simple: The
first three bulbs brought
to America in 1854 were
actually sterile Japanese
hybrids which multiply
and skip a year flowering.
Better to replant them
very quickly, keeping
their roots moist, or wait
til spring when the leaves
start to die down and
have already formed the
next fall’s flower buds.”
Mine are in full bloom,
in a summer-shaded spot
that gets winter sunshine
aplenty. Garden art
reminds me not to stomp
around or plant other
stuff there. And call me
a bad man, but I’ve found
them to be perfect guer-
rilla gardening plants; ev-
ery year I surreptitiously
spread bulbs around
town. Surprise!

well-known blues artists.
Close inspection of art-
fully stacked beer bottles
reveal they double as a
control panel for an inter-
active chandelier covered
with musical instru-
ments. Visitors choose an
instrument to learn about
and the chandelier lowers
from the ceiling. An actor
imitating a performer
known for playing that
particular instrument
explains its importance
to the genre. When the
narration ends, smoke
rises from the stage floor
and a projection of the
bluesman or woman “per-
forms” one of their most
known numbers.
■■■
Not far from the stage
will be a facade of a juke
joint called the Magic
Star. As visitors approach
the door, projections
of dancers can be seen
moving inside. One of
the dancers walks up
to the door and greets
visitors with a short
monologue about the
juke joint scene. Multiple
characters rotate in the
doorway, so guests hear
different monologues.
The concrete floor in
front of the Magic Star
will be etched to show
the Black Prairie blues
region while a window
on the “club” contains a
large touch screen that
becomes a teaching tool
as visitors interact with
the map to learn about
artists who came from
the area.
Education will be a
major focus, and not only
by passing on knowledge
of the blues genre and
the region’s role in it.
“We want to provide
music lessons for chil-
dren and adults, and we
want to have seminars
and guest speakers, for
musicians to come and
speak,” explained Man-
sfield. “We also want to
have a music venue and
have a blues series here.”
New memorabilia
exhibits will be acquired
over time to complement
those the current mu-
seum already displays,
like the donated guitars
from Pete Townshend,
Hubert Sumlin, Kenny
Wayne Shepherd and
Elvis Costello — mu-
sicians influenced by

A highlight planned for the new blues museum is this facade of a juke joint called
the Magic Star. Projected images of dancers inside will come to the door to talk to
visitors about the juke joint era. A touch screen will let guests interact with a map
