Wright not among finalists for LCSD superintendent

Twice elected to lead district, his tenure will end Dec. 31
By Zack Plair
zplair@cdispatch.com
Lynn Wright’s tenure as
Lowndes County School Dis-
trict superintendent will end
Dec. 31.
Multiple sources with direct
knowledge of the district’s su-
perintendent search, who asked
not to be named, confirmed
to The Dispatch that Wright
was not among the three final-
ists the school board selected
during an executive session of
its Friday afternoon meeting.
He was one of six semifinal-
ists the board interviewed last
week.
Wright was twice elected
superintendent by public vote,
having served since 2011. Be-
fore that he was principal at
New Hope High School.
A state law that allowed pub-
lic school districts to choose
whether to appoint or elect su-
perintendents changed in 2016,
making it mandatory for school
boards to appoint that position.
LCSD’s first board-appointed
superintendent will start work
in January.
When contacted by The Dis-
patch after the meeting, Wright
would not comment on the re-
cord.

president Robert
Barksdale added the board

where James Trotter made a name for
himself.
Trotter, 95, died Nov. 6, but his mem-
ory is sustained in Columbus. In a city
where few public buildings are named
for its citizens, Trotter stands apart. The
Trotter Convention Center was renamed

2A SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2019
O
ver the
almost
10
years I have
been writing
this column
I’ve told sto-
ries of many
local veterans.
Most of those
stories, such
as my father’s,
Brad Free-
man’s and Col.
Rufus Ward
Alva Temple’s,
took place in the Europe-
an Theater of World War
II.
There are many fasci-
nating accounts from the
war in the Pacific that also came flying up to the gate
need telling. I planned on
writing about two of those to be let through even
today but have decided
that each story deserves
a full column. This week
will be the story of R.G.
“Bob” Burns and next
week, Charles Wilburn.
Bob Burns was 18
when he joined the Navy
in 1943. He had grown
up in Lowndes County
and had been working
with his brothers cut-
ting timber. With that
background he became
a Seabee, as members of
the Naval Construction
Battalion are known. As a
member of the 113th Na-
val Construction Battal-
ion, he received training
at several bases, including had passed through, the
the Seabee base at Gulf-
port. On Feb. 22, 1944, he standing fast to the orders
shipped out from Califor-
nia aboard the USS West
Point for Finschhafen,
New Guinea, where he
arrived on March 16.
The first assignment
of the 113th was the
construction of Naval
Base 3115 at Hollandia,
New Guinea. The port of
Hollandia on the north
coast of New Guinea was
an important Japanese
installation that included
three airfields. On April
22, 1944, the U.S. 24th
Infantry Division landed
and assaulted the Japa-
nese defenses. By April
24, the airfields had been
captured. On May 9, the
113th landed and immedi-
ately began construction
work to make the bombed
and battered Japanese
bases operational as
American bases.
The Seebees discov-
ered that though they
were a construction bat-
talion, moving in behind
the advancing Marines or
Army would often bring
them into combat zones.
Burns recalled such as
incident at Hollandia.
During the base construc-
tion on the island, Burns
was a bulldozer operator.
As work was progress-
ing, a Japanese sniper
shot the operator on the
bulldozer next to his.
Burns grabbed his rifle,
which rode on the dozer
with him. Surveying the
nearby tree line, he saw
movement, spotted the
sniper and shot and killed
him.
A Seabee’s Story
Burns had
an interesting
encounter one
night at the
Seabee base
at Hollandia
when he was
on guard
duty on the
road leading
to the base
headquarters.
He was under
orders not
to let anyone
through unless they had
the correct password.
Carolyn Burns Kaye said
her father had told her
“late that night, a jeep
and the driver demanded
though he did not know
the password. Burns
refused. The driver asked
him, ‘Do you know who
is in the jeep?’ Burns
replied, ‘I don’t give a
damn … even if you were
carrying MacArthur, you
couldn’t pass!’” Being
dark Burns could not
see that it actually was
MacArthur in the jeep.
“He radioed Headquar-
ters and only when the
officer in charge came
down was the gate opened
for the jeep to pass. Burns
said he got a dressing
down in front of General
MacArthur but after they
officer praised him for
he had been given.”
Carolyn also recalled
another MacArthur
story. When MacArthur
returned to the Philip-
pines at Leyte on Oct. 22,
1944, he made the first of
his two famous landings.
However, on the first
landing the landing craft
he was on drew too much

next landing on the main

officers still recalled
MacArthur’s anger at get-

landing.
To insure that the

Trump launches black voter

outreach effort for 2020
‘The Democrats
have let you down’
President Donald Trump
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — During
the 2016 campaign, candi-
date Donald Trump stood
in front of largely white
crowds and asked black vot-
ers to consider, “What the
hell do you have to lose?”
Trump offered that
same message Friday as he
launched a black voters co-
alition in Atlanta, Georgia.
While Trump’s campaign
had said his message would
focus on his record and
gains for black Americans
under his watch, Trump in-
stead spent most of his time
demonizing Democrats
and appearing to try to pit
minority voters against im-
migrants.
“The Democrats have
let you down,” Trump told
the crowd of several hun-
dred supporters, includ-
ing several who wore red

hats. “They’ve dismissed
you. They’ve hurt you.
They’ve sabotaged you for

Bloomberg opens door to 2020
Democratic run for president
By JULIE PACE
AP Washington Bureau Chief
WASHINGTON — Michael Bloomberg, the bil-
lionaire former mayor of New York City, is opening
the door to a 2020 Democratic presidential cam-
paign, warning that the current field of candidates is
ill equipped to defeat President Donald Trump.
Bloomberg, who initially ruled out a 2020 run, has
not made a final decision on whether to jump into the
race. If he were to launch a campaign, it could dra-
matically reshape the Democratic contest less than
three months before primary voting begins.
The 77-year-old has spent the past few weeks
talking with prominent Democrats about the state of
the 2020 field, expressing concerns about the steadi-
ness of former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign
and the rise of liberal Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth
Warren, according to people with knowledge of
those discussions. In recent days, he took steps to
keep his options open, including moving to get on
the primary ballot in Alabama ahead of the state’s
Friday filing deadline.

Roses and thorns

A rose to Mike
Tagert, who Friday
was named as the CEO
of the Starkville Part-
nership. Tagert, who
lives in Starkville, is
currently finishing his second term as
Northern District Commissioner for the
Mississippi Department of Transporta-
tion. He will become the Partnership’s
first permanent leader since Scott May-
nard resigned 18 months ago. Tagert’s
familiarity with the community and
background makes him a natural fit for
his new role. He previously served as
administrator of the Tennessee-Tombig-
bee Waterway Development Authority
and president of the organization’s re-
spective trade association, the Tennes-
see-Tombigbee Development Council.
Tagert has worked with the Partnership
before to secure grant funding for road
and sidewalk construction and kept the
organization up to date on those proj-
ects. He’ll be ready to hit the ground
running when he assumes his new
duties on Jan. 7.
A thorn to the
Starkville Board of
Aldermen. Tuesday, in
a break from its normal
practice, the board
announced the hiring of
SPD Capt. Mark Ballard as Starkville’s
new police chief starting Jan. 1. Ballard
was one of eight applicants, but the
city held no public hearings during the
process, which means citizens were
denied the ability to ask questions,
express their concerns or hear from the
candidates. Previously, these kind of
hires have been open processes, a sign
that the public has an active stake in
filling these positions. Our criticism is
not directed at Ballard, whose record of
service certainly makes him a qualified
candidate, but rather, at the process
that denied citizen participation in the
process as the city filled this important
position.
A thorn to the
Lowndes County School
District Board of Trust-
ees which continues to
obstinately refuse to
share any meaningful
information as it continues its search for
a superintendent. After a special meet-
ing Friday held in closed session, the
board announce it has settled on three
finalists, but has no intentions of sharing
with stakeholders their names. We do
know from multiple sources that Lynn
Wright is not a finalist, which means his
second four-year term as superintendent
will end Dec. 31. This is a terrible way to
handle so sensitive and so important a
matter. It’s certain to leave a bitter taste
in the mouths of citizens who have been
so rudely ignored in this process. In fact,
we have concerns over the legality of the
district’s process.
A rose to Nadia Colom,
who has announced that
she is resigning her
position as Executive
Director of the Boys and
Girls Club of the Golden
Triangle. Under Colom’s leadership, the
club has grown in just about every way an
organization can be measured — mem-
berships, donations, facilities (the club
expanded to West Point in 2018) and ex-
posure. In her six years as director, along
with another year as the director for the
Columbus club, Colom has strengthened
the club’s organizational processes, im-
proved training and, perhaps more than
anything else, raised the public profile of
the club. As she transitions into a “stay at
home mom” with her two young daugh-
ters, we thank her for her exceptional
service to our communities

Letters to the editor Cartoonist View

Voice of the people
Information on curbside voting
Mr. Head...I am sorry that you and your wife
had a bad voting experience. I served in Clay
County as a returns/receiving manager at one
of the polls during this election, so I can ad-
dress this process. I do not know what Lowndes
County uses for their voting, but allow me to
speak to my recent experience.
Under Mississippi law, those voters who are
disabled or unable to come inside the polling
center are afforded the opportunity to vote in
their vehicle (curbside voting) using the voting
machines that are used during the inside voting
process. These voters are required, just as any
other voter, to produce a photo id before the
voting process can begin.
After providing the proper identification, an
election worker takes the sign-in book outside
(at this point the inside voting has to stop), has
them sign the book, and then returns the sign-
in book to the inside voting table. This keeps
“inside” voting from stopping for a minimum
time. A voting machine and voting access card
is also taken outside by another election worker,
and the “curbside” voter casts their ballot using
the same process that any other voter uses
when a vote is cast inside the precinct. That is
the way that our particular precinct handles the
curbside voting.
I might add that allowing our disabled citi-
zens to vote “curbside” is one of the best chang-
es to voter regulations. By using the voting
machine, there is no paper ballot. The process
is much more secure, and less time consuming
for election workers. I wonder how many of our
handicapped citizens do not take advantage of
this opportunity or maybe do not know about
“curbside” voting.
Thanks for taking the time to vote.

Troubled by acceptance of Trump’s behavior
Lee Roy Lollar’s Nov. 5 letter to The Dispatch
in defense of President Trump criticized the
ongoing impeachment inquiry. In it, he listed
many things that President Trump has done
which, to him, are positives. Most were opinions
— positive or negative — I leave the arguing to
“Did you see the sunrise this morning, did you hear
the mockingbird sing, did you touch the hand of a good
friend, well that’s a beautiful thing. Did you taste a
strong cup of coffee, did you smell the freshly cut hay, did
you sing I’m alive, I’m alive, what a wonderful day.”
­— Tricia Walker, singer/songwriter

F
others.
But here’s the thing. Bad people can do good
things. Al Capone paid for the original soup
kitchens in 1930’s Chicago. Cocaine kingpin
Pablo Escobar built soccer fields and entire
sanitation systems for the poor in his home base
of Medellin, Colombia. Whitey Bulger handed
out free turkeys to residents on Boston’s South
End every Thanksgiving.
And all of the above went to prison in spite of
their good deeds — because of their bad ones.
They broke the law. Stole money. Killed people
or arranged for their murder. President Trump
has not murdered anyone - only famously
bragged that he could get away with it if he did.
But, make no mistake, he does behave a lot like
a mobster. Lied about the value of his assets on
loan applications. Paid off at least two women,
one a porn star, with whom he’d had affairs -
he’d have been convicted for the latter if he had
been, say, a mere U.S. Senator or state governor,
instead of President. We can only guess at his
financial misdeeds - we have yet to see his tax
returns, despite court orders to do so.
President Trump has a lot of supporters who
are untroubled by these qualities in the Presi-
dent - qualities that I and others find so abhor-
rent. That, by itself, is mystifying, as Bill Parker
noted in his Nov. 5 letter. But that Lollar, Gross,
and others somehow see this as “greatness”
suggests to me that this country is in great dan-
ger of losing its way. And if I am right about that
— I sincerely hope that I am not — I see the end
of American greatness on the horizon.
As seems typical, Mr. Lollar and I are in com-
plete agreement on things in Columbus but in
complete disagreement about things nationally.

Columbus
all has been particularly
lovely this year, perhaps
because it came so quick-
ly as a much-needed break
from scorching temperatures.
Now it appears fall is “leaving”
just as fast as chilling tempera-
tures arrive early. The wild
black cherry tree retains some
red, orange and yellow leaves.
The ash is all but bare. Fallen
leaves blanket the ground.

Pecans are everywhere, blown
down by Arctic winds. Our
world feels cozy with sweaters and knitted afghans.
Already, popcorn and hot chocolate and Mississippi
State girls’ basketball.
I wanted to celebrate by decorating our doors
with autumn wreaths and garlands. We’re expecting
company for Thanksgiving and, further, it would add
to my own enjoyment. Visiting three stores, I found
one lonely wreath. It was the first week of November
and already fall had disappeared and been replaced by
massive Christmas displays. Either everyone was also
enthralled by fall and beat me to decorating, or Christ-
mas buying edged out fall and, with it, Thanksgiving.
The wreath fit the bill for the door display as did
the garland. I find myself gazing at it and feeling so
thankful. Taking a moment to look away from the
errands, work and concerns of the day, my world looks
beautiful.
Walking to the mailbox, I found it stuffed with
seasonal catalogs and also a magazine, Joanna Gaines’
magazine, Magnolia Journal — inspiration for life
and home. I enjoy this magazine. It’s gratifying to
feel paper beneath my fingertips and flip real pages.
Sometimes I write my thoughts in the margins. I like
that some of the people in the magazine look like me
— Helen Mirren, age 74, in rosy tone moisturizer.
Lately I’m aware I go to more funerals than birth-
day parties and baby showers. Joanna suggests: To
choose instead only the moment that’s unfolding right
in front of me. To breathe in every sight and every
sound. To hold it all dearly. Who we become is shaped
more by the mundane than by milestones.
In the magazine there’s article on Gabe Grunewald,
a beautiful 23-year-old athlete diagnosed with a rare
form of cancer in 2009. It was incurable, and a survival
rate of five years was high. Several times she thought
she beat it, but it would come back. She didn’t stop
running. In 2017 she said, “I think sometimes we’re
too quick to give up on the things we love and the
things that makes us feel alive when something is
going wrong in our lives. But I really feel strongly that
we have to hold onto them.”
All of the above made me realize we choose our
days and how to live them, even our busyness. When
Gabe was told in June of this year she was dying, she
yelled out, “Not today.”
Every day holds something wonderful. Don’t give
up. Don’t give in. Not today.

latest trade-war
confusion to

NEW YORK — The

stock market capped an-
other week of healthy gains
on Friday, but it ended on
more of a befuddled note
than a bang as confusion
about the U.S.-China trade
war hung over the market.
Stocks wobbled be-
tween small gains and loss-
es through the day amid
conflicting signals about
the progress being made
by U.S. and Chinese ne-
gotiators. President Don-
ald Trump said he has not
agreed to roll back any tar-
iffs, just a day after a Chi-
nese official said the two
sides had agreed to do just
that if talks progress.

through the day, the S&P
500 turned higher in the
last hour of trading and
closed at a record 3,093.08,
up 7.90, or 0.3 percent.
It’s the fifth straight
week of gains for the index,
which matches its longest
winning streak in the last
two years.
The Dow Jones Indus-
trial Average edged up 6.44
points, or less than 0.1 per-

Continued from Page 1A
‘Usually, when the idea comes up to name

first term on the city council
was Trotter’s last as mayor.
“Usually, when the idea comes
up to name something after
somebody, there’s a lot of argu-
ment about it. But there was no
ruckus at all about naming the
Trotter Center. That should tell
you something.”
Certainly, Trotter’s cre-
dentials supported the move
— four times elected as mayor

being elected if he had want-
ed to,” said Dewitt Hicks,
who served as city attorney
throughout Trotter’s mayoral
tenure), 10 years on the Colum-
bus Municipal School Board, as

Boy Scouts of America chapter.
He was also a 39-year mem-
ber of the Columbus Rotary
Club, where he was recognized
as Paul Harris Fellow, and a
deacon and Sunday school
teacher at First Baptist Church
in Columbus.
But when longtime Colum-
bus residents speak of Trotter,
it’s not the titles he held that
are most prominent in their
memories.
“He was just a nice guy,”
said Hicks.
“He was friendly, easy to
talk to,” said Boone.
“He was quiet, but very sin-
cere when he spoke,” said Josie
Fannon, whose late husband,
Jimmy, succeeded Trotter as
mayor.
“He would listen,” said
Lowndes County Supervisor
Leroy Brooks. “Even if he
disagreed with you and you
knew it, he would take the time
to hear you out. You always felt
like he cared about what you
had to say.”
“The life that Mayor Trotter
led always put others first,”
said current Columbus May-
or Robert Smith. “He sought
out ways to help others and
enlisted friends along the way
to help him help others too. He
was a quiet giant of a man that
spoke softly, but his words gave
direction in times of need. He
never sought the spotlight or
desired credit for his work but
worked tirelessly to help those
he served.”
Smith noted that Trotter was
instrumental in preserving the
history of those who served as
mayor before him.
“Mayor Trotter loved
history,” Smith said. “During
his as (tenure) as mayor, he
researched Columbus records
to document the names and
dates of every mayor and city
council that has served our
city. He had engraved plaques
made to record these records,
and those plaques are proudly
displayed next to the front door
of City Hall in Columbus today.
It is our honor to continue to
update those plaques and con-
tinue his work.”
From small business
to city business
It would have been hard
to predict Trotter would have
gone on to lead the city as its
mayor for 16 years.
Affable and unassuming,
Trotter never attended college
after graduating from Lee
High in 1943. Instead, he went
to work, first delivering the
Birmingham News, then at
Western Auto. Displaying a
trait that would be a hallmark
of his time as mayor, Trotter
was careful with his money,

photo. It is named for the four-term mayor who served from 1973-89.
ultimately saving enough to
open a gas station and wreck-
er service located across the
street from what is now the Co-
lumbus-Lowndes Convention
and Visitors Bureau at Third
Street and Main.
“It seemed like everybody I
know bought their gas at that
Texaco station,” Fannon said.
“I think a lot of that had to do
with (Trotter). He was just so
friendly, always happy to see
you.”
Trotter owned the station
for 27 years, but from the time
he was first elected as mayor
in 1973, his business was city
business.
“He was very careful with
the city budget,” Hicks re-
called. “He made sure the city
was on sound financial footing.
It’s something he watched very
carefully.”
Trotter arrived as mayor
at a time when the city was
growing. Leigh Mall had just
opened, as had the Highway
82 bypass and the Tenn-Tom
Waterway.
“I think Jimmy was the right
person for the time,” Boone
said. “He was polite, soft-spo-
ken, but he wouldn’t put up
with a lot of mess. He wasn’t
somebody you could run over.
Not at all.”
Hicks said Trotter’s warm,
inviting nature was something
that never left him.
“He absolutely had an open
door policy,” Hicks said. “He
was generous with his time. It
didn’t matter who you were.”
‘Everybody’s friend’
Brooks got to know Trotter
beginning in 1980, when he
was brought in with Paul Cog-
gins to operate the city’s fed-
eral programs after it received
a $2.5 million Community
Development Bloc Grant.
“One of the interesting
things, during the early years
of my career, there were a
group of us black citizens who
could go in and talk to the may-
or about some things that need-
ed to happen,” Brooks recalled.
“He would listen. A lot of times,
his answer wouldn’t be what we
wanted, but there were other
times when he agreed. For
Dispatch file photo
that day and time, that wasn’t
always the case.
“I think the perception in
the black community was that
he was an OK guy,” Brooks
added.
Hicks said Trotter was more
than just a colleague.
“We were very close,” Hicks
said. “He was just a wonderful
person, someone you respect-
ed. I do know that every deci-
sion he made, it was strictly for
the good of the community. He
never made a decision without
spending a lot of time praying
about it.
“When he moved to South-
aven about 15 years ago — he
wanted to be near his youngest
daughter who have moved to
Memphis — I really hated to
see him go,” he added. “He was
just so much a part of our city.”
Fannon said having the
convention center, home to
so many community events,
named in Trotter’s honor
seems only natural.
“That was Jimmy,” she said.
“It seemed like he was every-
body’s friend.”

BULLDOGS BOUNCE BACK

Aliyah Matharu, Chloe Bibby shine Bulldogs rally from

Sam Houston State
By Garrick Hodge
ghodge@cdispatch.com

STARKVILLE — Humphrey Coli-

seum fell silent.
With 14 minutes remaining in the
second half, Mississippi State found
itself trailing by 18 to Sam Houston
State. The Bulldogs couldn’t buy a bas-
ket and added insult to injury by turn-
ing the ball over at will.
MSU coach Ben Howland had seen Howland
enough and called a timeout. That’s
when the Bulldogs rallied.
Despite committing 23 turnovers, MSU closed the
game on a 33-6 run, including a 17-0 run in the final 3
minutes, en route to taking down the Bearkats 67-58
Friday.
“I’m really proud of the way they fought back,”
Howland said. “They never quit.”
While one side felt jubilation at the buzzer, a more
somber vibe found the visitors’ locker room.
“It’s really disappointing,” Sam Houston State
coach Jason Hooten said of his team blowing a big
lead.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: LSU 46, ALABAMA 41

Burrow, No. 1 LSU hold on for win over No. 2 Alabama

The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Joe
Burrow passed for 393 yards
and three touchdowns and No.
1 LSU snapped an eight-game
losing streak to No. 2 Alabama
with a 46-41 victory Saturday.
The Tigers (9-0, 5-0 South-
eastern Conference, No. 2 CFP)
are no longer second fiddle
in the SEC West, or maybe in
the playoff rankings. And Bur-
row stamped himself as the
Heisman Trophy front-runner
with a gutty performance when
he answered every challenge
from ’Bama.
And the challenges were
plentiful.
The Crimson Tide (8-1, 5-1,
No. 3 CFP) rallied from a 33-13
halftime deficit to three times
to pull within a touchdown in
the fourth quarter. It seemingly
kept going from game seeming-
ly over to game on.
The showdown lived up to its
billing as a duel between two
high-powered offenses and star
quarterbacks with President

Studdard lifts Rams in MAIS playoff win
By DAVID MILLER
Special to The Dispatch
STEENS — It only
takes one pass for Law-
son Studdard to turn a
game on its ear.
Down two and strug-
gling to ignite their
play-action passing game
against Riverdale Acad-
emy Friday night, Stud-
dard and the Columbus
Christian Academy of-
fense faced third-and-1
from the Riverdale 26,
with a hair under 20 sec-
onds left in the first half.
To that point, CCA
quarterback Dakota
Shaw had connected with
Studdard on a 25-yard
pass, but he also overshot
Studdard twice and had
another deep pass bro-
ken up. But, like they’ve
done all year, the Rams
kept chunking the ball
downfield; Shaw lofted
a jump-ball to Studdard,
who out-jumped a River-
dale defender to make
the grab at the 2-yard
line and set up a Bryar
Kemp scoring run and a
14-8 lead.
The Rams would
carry the momentum
through to the second
half for a 30-14 win to
advance in the Midsouth
Association of Indepen-
dent Schools Eight-Man,
Class 2A playoff bracket.
“As a receiver, you got
to know that the ball is
yours, so I just went up
and got it,” Studdard said.
“We weren’t having
very good passing early
on, and we just told our
line that we have to stay
strong and block for a
couple of plays to get us
down there and put us in
scoring position.”
Studdard finished
with five catches for 80
yards. He also picked off
a pass.
Two of Studdard’s five
catches Friday moved the
chains on third down and
led to Rams touchdowns.
Another — a 10-yard
catch over the middle in
the first quarter — set up
fourth-and-1 at the River-
dale 17, which CCA con-
verted and followed with

five possessions as the Rebels
(4-6) built an insurmountable
24-3 halftime lead. Plumlee
rushed for 177 yards on 12 car-
ries with scoring runs of 2 and
18 yards and finished 11 of 17 for
124 passing yards in a dominat-
ing performance that ended in
the third quarter.
“I was fortunate to break the
line of scrimmage a few times,”
Plumlee said. “At the next level,
there aren’t as many guys you
have to outrun, or make miss, or
bob and weave to get free.”
Conner rushed for 109 yards
on 13 carries, featuring a stylish
30-yard touchdown run in the
first quarter and a 1-yard touch-
down run in the third period.
Ealy finished with 71 yards on
on defense,” New Mexico State
Doug Martin said. “We played
Alabama in the second game
of the year, and, in my opinion,
you could switch the jerseys and
there’s no difference.”
The takeaway
New Mexico State: The
Aggies weren’t expected to win
an SEC road game, but the mar-
gin of defeat was discouraging.
Of the three remaining games,
only the visiting UTEP Miners
(1-7) have a losing record and
provides the best opportunity
for New Mexico State to snap an
11-game losing streak.
“I thought we had some guys

catches for 203 yards, the second-most
in program history. Tyler Johnson had
seven receptions for 104 yards and a
touchdown, too, as Minnesota made
enough early gains to hold up during the
late rally by Penn State.
Clifford went 23 for 43 for 340 yards
and one score.
Antoine Winfield Jr. had the first two
picks in the first half, matching the FBS
lead and setting the Minnesota record
with seven on the season. Both were in-
side the 10.
No. 3 Ohio State 73, Maryland 14
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Justin Fields
threw for three touchdowns and ran for
another in the first half, and Ohio State
hardly missed suspended defensive star
Chase Young.
A team that gave the Buckeyes (9-
0, 6-0 Big Ten, CFP No. 1) headaches
last season was no trouble this time,
even without the fierce pass rushing of
Young. The preseason All-American
was suspended Friday while Ohio State
investigates a possible NCAA violation
involving a loan.
J.K. Dobbins rushed for 90 yards and
two touchdowns as the Buckeyes built a
42-0 halftime lead and the backups add-
ed to it in the second half. Fields tossed
touchdown passes to Binjimen Victor,
K.J. Hill and Chris Olave before taking
a seat in the second half. His backup,
Chris Chugunov, threw another one in
the third quarter. Ohio State piled up
705 yards of offense and 40 first downs.
Maryland dropped to 1-6 in the Big
Ten and 3-7 overall.
No. 11 Baylor 29, TCU 23, 3OT
FORT WORTH, Texas — Denzel
Mims made a leaping 4-yard touchdown
catch in the third overtime for Baylor,
capping another comeback victory that
kept the Bears undefeated.
Charlie Brewer also threw a 20-yard
touchdown pass to Mims on fourth down
in the second overtime to extend the
game. Brewer had a 3-yard scoring run
in the first overtime.
The Bears (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) finally
won on Grayland Arnold’s interception
of Max Duggan’s fourth-down pass in
the end zone.
Baylor forced overtime when John
Mayers kicked a 51-yard field goal with
36 seconds left in regulation. The ball
just cleared the crossbar to tie it at 9.
TCU (4-5, 2-4) led 9-0 after Jonathan
Song made two field goals at the end of
the first half.
Texas 27, No. 20 Kansas State 24
AUSTIN, Texas — Cameron Dicker
kicked a 26-yard field goal as time ex-
pired to lift Texas past Kansas State as
the Longhorns maintained their hopes
of returning to the Big 12 championship
game.
Dicker has won games on the final
play twice this season. His 33-yarder to
beat Kansas on Oct. 19 capped a wild 50-
48 finish.
Texas (6-3, 4-2) had lost two of its pre-
vious three games. The victory over the
Wildcats (6-3, 3-3, No. 16 College Foot-
ball Playoff) made the Longhorns bowl
eligible and kept them in the hunt for a
berth in the league championship with
three games left.
Keaontay Ingram rushed for 139
yards and two second-half touchdowns
for the Longhorns. Kansas State rallied
to tie it on Joshua Youngblood’s 98-yard
kickoff return and Blake Lynch’s 45-
yard field goal.

Axel Phillips was awarded a certificate for breaking another state record during swim practice Wednesday afternoon at the Frank P. Phillips Memorial YMCA.
7-year-old Phillips of Swim Columbus sets second state record
By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
Axel Phillips reacted
to setting his second state
swimming record just as
he did when he found out
about his first.
When Swim Columbus
coach Stephanie Gonza-
lez called the 7-year-old
over during Wednesday
afternoon’s practice at the
Frank P. Phillips Memo-
rial YMCA, he seemed to
know what was coming.
“Did I break another
record?” Phillips asked
Gonzalez. “I don’t even
care.”
Gonzalez “surprised”

the news that, indeed, he’d
set his second state record
MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Owls coach Merkel expects growth in second season
By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
Brian Merkel pointed
to a spot on the left side
of the Pohl Gymnasium
court, just inside the half-
court line.
The Mississippi Uni-
versity for Women men’s
basketball coach still re-
members the exact loca-
tion from which Morris
College launched a buzz-
er-beating 3-pointer that
banked off the backboard
and into the basket last
January. The Owls had
just tied the game on a
3-pointer of their own not
three seconds before, and
the shot handed them a
home loss they haven’t
forgotten.
“The game was so
close,” senior forward
Carlos Wilkerson said.
“That shot really hurt.”
It hurt, but it motivat-
ed the Owls, too. They
played Morris College on
the road two weeks lat-
er and eked out an 85-82
win.
“We played our hearts
out,” Wilkerson said.
“That game-winner that
they hit really meant
something to us, so we
had to come back and play
a little harder.”
The win was one of
the fondest memories of
last year’s 7-18 season,
the first since the Owls’
basketball programs were
revived. With five seniors
on the roster, including
Wilkerson and guard
Keith Harris, Merkel ex-
pects growth from his
team in his second year
at the helm — especially
if the Owls can improve
in tight contests like their
matchup with Morris.
“We lost a ton of close
games last year that if
in six months, posting a
time of 25.04 seconds in
the 6-and-under division
of the short course 25-me-
ter backstroke on Oct. 13.
“He’s just so relaxed
about it,” Gonzalez said.
“More kids are super ex-
cited. He’s just like, ‘You
know, whatever.’”
Gonzalez noted that
the plaque commemorat-
ing Phillips’ first record
— a time of 48.48 sec-
onds in the short course
50-meter freestyle at the
State Games of Missis-
sippi in May in Meridian
— is hanging on his wall
at home, so perhaps the
young swimmer is just
displaying some early hu-
mility.
Senior guard Tavonta Jones will be a key piece for the Owls this season under head coach Brian Merkel.
we do small things here
and there we probably
come away with the win,”
Merkel said.
He conceded that the
Owls may not see a huge
jump in their record this
season, but as long as he
sees the growth he wants,
that’ll be enough.
“Just learning from
those experiences and
building on that ... mak-
ing sure that every day
we’re coming out here
and getting better and
trying to improve as a
team,” Merkel said.
Based on Monday’s
exhibition game, a blow-
out loss to NAIA member
LSU Shreveport, Merkel
and the team have already
seen where that improve-
ment should be focused.
The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com
Whatever the case,
Phillips continues to help
Swim Columbus make
waves in the local scene.
He’s the youngest
member on a team of
about 40 swimmers, Gon-
zalez said. Most swim-
mers are a little bit older,
though Swim Columbus
has a 17-year-old “senior”
anchoring the team.
No matter the age,
Gonzalez said, Columbus’
swimmers are all close to
each other.
“This team has become
like a little miniature
family,” she said. “I call
them my little ducklings.
They’re just my little ba-
bies right now.”
Gonzalez, a former
“Something that we’re
working on every day and
we’re gonna continue is
defense and rebounding,”
Merkel said. “Those are
the two things that we try
to stress, and hopefully
we can improve on that
every day. If we get that
side of the floor figured
out where we have five
guys playing defense to-
gether, we’re gonna have
a chance to be a really
good team.”
That focus specifi-
cally includes transition
defense, as Wilkerson
saw the Owls continually
shredded on fast breaks
by the Pilots in Monday’s
exhibition.
“Our transition de-
fense, we really have to
work on,” he said. “We
swimmer at Delta State
University, said the di-
verse personalities she
gets to see on the team are
always enjoyable — from
Phillips’ stoicism to the
shy or “over-obnoxious”
swimmers she often has
to deal with.
She’s now in her sec-
ond year as coach of Swim
Columbus, but Gonzalez
originally didn’t intend to
apply for the job.
“I just didn’t think I
would have the patience
for a coaching position,”
she said. “That’s a lot of
children for me, and I al-
ways said I never wanted
to be a teacher.”
The Caledonia gradu-
ate said she was skeptical
have to get back after the
shot goes up, when it’s a
miss.”
Harris, who trans-
ferred in from East Mis-
sissippi Community Col-
lege last season, outlined
the plan the Owls have
laid out for transition sce-
narios: two players fol-
lowing a shot in hopes of
an offensive rebound and
three getting back down
the court to prepare to
defend. That strategy, he
said, should minimize op-
ponents’ chances of easy
layups and dunks.
Rebounding might be
more of a challenge with
the graduation of forward
DJ Clark, who led the
team in a landslide with
9.8 boards per game.
“We have to have some

her to step in. But she ap-
plied anyway, and the rest
was history.
Gonzalez leads the
team in daily practic-
es — afternoons during
the week and Saturday
mornings — and sched-
ules meets around once a
month. Swim Columbus
has two meets scheduled
for November, including
this weekend’s German-
town Swim Team Thanks-
giving Meet in the Mem-
phis area.

people come up and fill
those shoes,” Wilkerson
said.
Wilkerson led the Owls
in rebounding Monday,
though he only had four
boards as LSU Shreveport
shot just under 60 percent
from the field. But 12 dif-
ferent Owls recorded at
least one rebound.
“The whole team was
rebounding, and I feel
good about it,” Wilkerson
said.
While the Owls might
struggle to make up for
Clark’s production on the
boards, his 11.6 points per
game average might be
easier to replace.
Merkel said the team’s
strength is scoring —
from all over the court.
“Offensively, we have

That matches his brother
Arthur, a fellow Colum-
bus swimmer, for the time
being — the two Phillips
children are 11 months
apart in age.
It also means, for Axel
Phillips, an increase in
competition. There ar-
en’t very many swim-
mers competing in the
6-and-under group, but
that won’t be the case in
the 7-8 group.
“It’s gonna be a bigger
age group for him,” Gon-
zalez said. “I think he’ll
only get better with the
extra competition.”
If her prediction holds
true, more records for
Axel will soon be on their
way.
more options this year,”
he said. “We’re a little bit
more dynamic in that we
can throw it inside some,
but also we have guys that
can shoot it from the pe-
rimeter but also drive and
finish at the basket.”
Harris, who averaged
10.9 points per game last
year, and Tavonta Jones,
who averaged 13.8, form
the starting backcourt
that will lead what Merkel
called a versatile, deep
team. Factoring in guard
Tre Pinkston, who con-
tributed 8.3 points per
game last season, the
Owls have plenty of depth
at the position.
The departures of
Clark and guard Josh
Skinner sting, but a few
key newcomers will help
to round out the roster
and add to the depth the
Owls possess. EMCC
transfer big man JaQuan
Hines, a former Colum-
bus High player, will help
defensively, Harris said.
Freshman forward
Tanner Collins will help
out in the post, and fresh-
man guard Milos Zeradja-
nin from Serbia is expect-
ed to have an offensive
impact.
With the additions of
Hines, Collins, Zeradj-
anin and more, Merkel
knows his team certain-
ly the depth it needs to
compete this season. The
Owls’ first home game
isn’t until Nov. 23, so their
first several tests will be
away from the confines of
Pohl Gym.
“We’ll have to get out
on the road and see what
we’re made of,” Merkel
said. “We have a veteran
group, and we’re hoping
that the pieces fit togeth-
er and that we can make a
run this year.”

Celtics lose Hayward to injury, beat Spurs for 7th straight

The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Jaylen
Brown scored 30 points and
the Boston Celtics routed the
San Antonio Spurs 135-115 on
Saturday in a victory that was
tempered by the loss of Gor-
don Hayward, who broke his
left hand late in the first half.
Kemba Walker add 26
points as Boston (7-1) won its
seventh straight game and set
season highs for total points,
first quarter scoring (39
points) and first half scoring
(72 points).
There was a somberness
to the victory, though, as Hay-
ward suffered his second sig-
nificant injury since signing
with the Celtics three seasons
ago.
The Boston forward broke
his left hand after colliding
with San Antonio’s LaMarcus
Aldridge with just over a min-
ute remaining in the first half.
Hayward was sent for an X-ray
that confirmed the diagnosis.
He did not return to the game.
The Celtics said Hayward will
miss at least a month and he
could undergo surgery, ac-
cording to coach Brad Stevens.
DeMar DeRozan had 22
points for the Spurs (5-4), who
trailed by as many as 22 points.
Boston has not lost since
dropping its season opener to
Philadelphia, 107-93, on Oct.
23. The Celtics have outscored
their opponents 115-101 since
that opening loss and raised
that dominance against the
Spurs.

76ers’ Simmons to
miss Hornets game
with shoulder injury
PHILADELPHIA —
Philadelphia 76ers guard
Ben Simmons will miss
a second straight game
Sunday against the Char-
lotte Hornets because of
a sprained AC joint in his
right shoulder.
Simmons was hurt
Wednesday when he
bumped into Royce O’Ne-
ale’s chest while posting
up in the first quarter of
a 106-104 loss to the Utah
Jazz. He didn’t play Fri-
day in a 100-97 loss to the
Denver Nuggets.
76ers officials said
Simmons would be
re-evaluated Monday.
Simmons has played

and is averaging 13.1
points, 6.9 assists and 5.4
rebounds.

CHARLOT TE, N.C. —

Saturday night and snap a

JJ Redick had 22 points
on five 3-pointers and
Jrue Holiday added 12
points and 11 assists for
the Pelicans (2-7).
Ingram, who was born
and raised in Kinston,
North Carolina, finished
8 of 12 from the field and
had 10 points in the fourth
quarter while the Hor-
nets went cold down the
stretch.
Charlotte struggled to
take care of the basket-
ball as well, committing
22 turnovers, making for
a sloppy game.
Devonte Graham led
the Hornets with 24 points
and 10 rebounds. Terry

AROUND THE NATION IN SPORTS

Runner’s abuse allegations embolden other female athletes
The Associated Press
Track and field is facing a painful
and public reckoning with the treat-
ment of some female athletes.
Former teen running star Mary
Cain’s account this week of alleged
physical and emotional abuse at the
recently disbanded Nike Oregon Proj-
ect is prompting more top athletes to
come forward.
Amy Yoder Begley, a 10,000 -meter
runner, said Friday she was told she
had the “biggest butt on the starting
line.” Kara Goucher’s husband said
the Olympian endured “disgusting”
comments from coaches.
Cain said the all-male staff told her
the way to get faster was to get thin-
ner and thinner.
Nike says it’s investigating, but the
cascade of allegations that have fol-
lowed Oregon Project director Alber-
to Salazar’s four-year doping ban have
called new attention to the emphasis
on weight restrictions and emotional
abuse.
“It’s depressing, but I’m also en-
couraged that this message is getting
out,” Dr. Kathryn Ackerman, medical
director of the female athlete program
at Boston Children’s Hospital, said
Saturday. “A lot of these athletes have
been really shy to share their stories.”
Questions about Salazar’s methods
with his top U.S. runners had swirled
for years before the U.S. Anti-Doping
Agency found him guilty last month
of conducting experiments with sup-
plements and testosterone that were
bankrolled and supported by Nike.
But Cain’s plaintive story of harass-
ment and abuse while she was part of
Salazar’s training group, which she
joined as a 17-year-old phenomenon
in 2013, has emboldened other former
Oregon Project athletes to share their
stories.
In a New York Times video essay,
Cain, now 23, says: “I was emotional-
ly and physically abused by a system
“I was told I was too fat and ‘had the biggest butt on the
starting line.’ This brings those painful memories back.”
designed by Alberto and endorsed by
Nike.”
Cain said she was harangued by the
staff, which had no certified nutrition-
ist or certified sports psychologist, to
lose weight and was publicly humili-
ated when she didn’t hit targets. She
said she stopped having her period
for three years and lost so much bone
density she broke five bones. She said
she started cutting herself and having
suicidal thoughts before leaving the
program in 2016.
Salazar, who has denied any involve-
ment in doping, issued a statement to
The Associated Press on Saturday
saying: “I never encouraged her, or
worse yet, shamed her, to maintain an
unhealthy weight. Not only did I never
do such a thing, I would not tolerate
anyone else on my team doing any
such a thing.”
Nike said in a statement these are
“deeply troubling allegations which
have not been raised by Mary or her
parents before. Mary was seeking to
rejoin the Oregon Project and Alber-
to’s team as recently as April of this
year and had not raised these con-
cerns as part of that process.”
The sportswear giant added it will
“take the allegations extremely seri-
ously and will launch an immediate
investigation to hear from former Or-
egon Project athletes.”
They’re already talking.
Four-time Olympian Shalane Fla-
nagan, who retired from competitive
running last month to become a coach
with the Nike Bowerman Track Club,
tweeted to Cain that “I had no idea it
was this bad.” Flanagan, the 2017 New
York City Marathon champion, is a
longtime Nike runner but was never
part of the Oregon Project.
“I’m so sorry ... that I never reached
2008 Olympian Yoder Begley
out to you when I saw you struggling.
I made excuses to myself as to why I
should mind my own business. We let
you down. I will never turn my head
again,” Flanagan tweeted.
Yoder Begley, who now coaches
the Atlanta Track Club, said she was
kicked out of Salazar’s group after
placing sixth in the 10,000 meters at
the 2011 national championships.
“I was told I was too fat and ‘had the
biggest butt on the starting line.’ This
brings those painful memories back,”
the 2008 Olympian said.
Goucher, a former Oregon Project
runner who helped provide evidence
for USA DA’s case against Salazar,
said on Twitter “the culture was un-
bearable.”
Her husband, Adam Goucher, who
also ran for the group, tweeted that
after she placed fifth in the 2011 Bos-
ton Marathon in a personal best of 2
hours, 24 minutes — one of the fast-
est times for an American woman that
year, and six months after having a
child — Salazar and a sports psychol-
ogist told her mother and sister she
needed to lose her baby weight if she
wanted to be fast again.
Adam Goucher said his own weight
was an issue while he trained under
Salazar.
“Maybe now some of you can see
why I had so much anger when we
left,” he wrote.
Ackerman, the Boston sports med-
icine specialist, is calling on Nike to
fund research into healthy and medi-
cally sound training in the same way
the NFL has started pouring money
into concussion studies.
“ There are so many great opportu-
nities for Nike to be a leader in this,”
she said.
Trump soaks in Deep South
cheers at college football
matchup
TUSCALOOSA — President
Donald Trump knew where to go
Saturday for home field advantage,
finding comfort in the Deep South
with college football fans cheering
the nation’s top two teams — and
him.
His reception at the showdown
between LSU and Alabama con-
trasted with the scene at Game 5
of the World Series in Washington,
where he was booed, and the mixed
response to his appearance at a
martial arts fight in New York.
Trump, sitting one tier above the
field, waved as fans turned around to
look up at the president. He smiled,
gave a thumbs-up a few times and
threw a couple of fist bumps into the
air as the Alabama fans waved red
and white pompoms in response.
First lady Melania Trump got an
equally enthusiastic welcome.
There was little sign of political
sentiment on campus but plenty of
bipartisan grumbling about the long
lines to get in due to enhanced secu-
rity. Trump left in the fourth quarter
of the game, which LSU won 46-41.
The inflatable figure depicting a
baby Donald Trump wearing a dia-
per, which has been seen at protests
around the world, made an appear-
ance in Tuscaloosa. The organizer
of the group that “adopted” the bal-
loon for the event told police a man
with a knife cut an 8-foot-long gash
in its back, deflating it. Tuscaloo-
sa police said in a statement that a
32-year-old local man was charged
with criminal mischief in the inci-
dent.
A protester carried a sign that
said “Roll Tide Impeach 45” and
another held a sign saying she had
sold her ticket and donated the
money to the Alabama Democratic
Party.

with foul trouble of her

was sporadic with the
ball, turning it over sev-
en times, the 5-foot-7
guard flashed a fearless-
ness on both sides of the
court.
With USM guard Ala-

Matharu planted. Tak-
ing the brunt of the col-

up with an exacerbated

On the sidelines, a

fer even cracked a smile.
“She’s trying to play

lier this week. “But I’ve

Sam Houston State was
no slouch, coming off a
21-12 season, but the Bear-
kats racing out to a 34-17
lead with three minutes
before halftime shocked
many in Starkville. MSU
responded with a 10-0
run to cut the lead to 34-
27 entering the break, but
the Bulldogs gave the ball
away 16 times in the first
half.
“(Our coaches) empha-
sized avoiding turnovers a
lot in practice leading up to
the game,” MSU guard Ty-
son Carter said. “It’s gon-
na be rough in practice.”
Preseason first-team
All-SEC selection Reggie
Perry was held scoreless
in the first half, giving the
6-foot-10 sophomore for-
ward one combined point
in two first halves this sea-
son.
None of the momen-
tum from the late first half
run carried over, as Sam
Houston State punished
MSU for countless mis-
takes, taking a game-high
18-point lead with 14 min-
utes remaining.
“They pressured us
and the way they scouted
us, obviously they watched
that FIU game,” Howland
said. “We did not handle
the pressure well at all.”
Sam Houston State led
by 11 points with six min-
utes to go in the contest,
but the Bulldogs trimmed
the deficit to four with two
minutes remaining. Perry
forced himself to the free-
throw line, and made one
of two shots, but MSU cen-
ter Abdul Ado snagged the
offensive board and found
Carter in the right corner.
Carter connected on a
wide-open 3-pointer, tying
the game at 58 apiece and
sending the 6,255 fans in
attendance into a frenzy.
Carter, rotating between
point guard and shooting
guard, finished with 28
points and played all but
26 seconds of Friday’s con-
test. He also chipped in six
assists.
“It’s never fun for the
coach, but it’s fun for ev-
eryone in the stands to
have a comeback win,”
Howland said. “That
makes it exciting.”
After a stop, Columbus
native Robert Woodard II
hit the biggest shot of the
game, a go-ahead long-
range shot at the 59-sec-
ond mark that gave his
team a three-point lead it
wouldn’t relinquish.
“When the 3-pointer
went in, it was just a sense
of relief in a way,” Wood-
ard said.
MSU eventually won
by nine points after Perry
threw a slam dunk down
as time expired, causing
a small skirmish to break
out between the Sam
Houston State and Missis-
sippi State benches. How-
land later explained Perry
wasn’t trying to rub the
win in the Bearkats’ faces.

Perry finished with
a double-double with 10

“He’ll be fine,” Howland
said. “He needs to under-

Redshirt freshman D.J.
Stewart gave MSU a huge
spark off the bench, fin-
ishing with 15 points on
a 5-of-9 shooting effort.
Woodard finished with 10
points and five rebounds.
For the second straight
game, forward Prince
Oduro played less than

the Bulldogs were essen-

Burrow completed 31
of 39 passes and ran for
64 yards and was carried
most of the way off the

“He’s one of the best
we’ve had here,” LSU
coach Ed Orgeron said.
“But we’ve still got four
games left and we’re go-
ing down the road, we’re
going to try to win every

back to Louisiana.”
That’s what Burrow
sought when he trans-

“It’s Game 9. We’ve got

and caught a scoring

on the sideline after a late
touchdown that appeared

game away.
Tagovailoa, 20 days
removed from ankle sur-
gery, was 21 of 40 for
418 yards and four touch-
downs with an intercep-
tion and a fumble. He
was called a “game-time
decision” all week, looked
shaky early and appeared
to be limping after the
game, but he kept Ala-
bama in it.
Coach Nick Saban said
Tagovailoa practiced all
week without any issues.
“He said he could play
in the game, he wanted to
play in the game and he
thought he could go out
and do a good job,” Sa-
ban said. “I think he was
a warrior in terms of what
he did.”
Smith had 213 yards
and a pair of touchdowns

LSU outgained Ala-

St. Paul’s Socktober boosts Y’s Undercover Project

know what 547 pairs of new
socks look like. That’s how
many they collected during
their Socktober drive, to do-
nate to the YMCA’s Undercover
Project.
Throughout October,
church members purchased
204 pairs of children’s socks,
139 pairs of women’s socks and
204 pairs for men — all to be
distributed through the Y.
“Last year we collected 378

547,” said Jennet Lacey who
chairs St. Paul’s Servant Minis-

think about it, socks are one of
the most requested things at
homeless shelters, and they’re
relatively inexpensive.”
Socktober, now in its second
year, complements the YMCA’s
annual Undercover Project,
which collects undergarments
and socks for distribution to
people enduring a crisis.

“Last year in February,
when we had the tornadoes, we

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: I work retail and
have bipolar disorder. (I
have been stable for nine
years.) A few Christmases ago,
a customer called me “hateful”
because I wished her a Merry
Christmas. (She doesn’t come
into the store anymore.) My man-
ager and co-workers explained
that she was in a bad mood that
day, and it wasn’t my fault.
Due to my illness, I am ob-
sessed with thoughts that it will
happen again during the holidays,
and I won’t know what to say or
how to react, or I’ll think it’s my
fault. Worse yet, I no longer want
to say Merry Christmas again,
although I will try. Do you have any advice in
case I get another bad reaction? — GREETING
IN THE EAST
DEAR GREETING: You did nothing wrong!
When December rolls around, the
expressions “Merry Christmas”
and “Happy Holidays” are very
common. If a customer takes
offense, all you need to reply is,
“Excuse me if I offended you.” And
if you’re still worried about this
issue, discuss it with your doctor
or therapist.
DEAR ABBY: I want to know if I
should ask my neighbor out. I’m a
female, and I don’t want to come
across as aggressive. I’m also a
Christian who was taught that a
woman should never ask a guy
Dear Abby out. Could I ask him out to hang
out — not necessarily for a date?
I’m a single parent of a
14-year-old. This neighbor is cute and single
and has two kids. I don’t know him well. I’ve
made many mistakes with men in the past,
which is why I’m cautious. What’s your advice?
— CAREFUL IN WYOMING
DEAR CAREFUL: Many men would be very
happy to be asked out. Because you haven’t
had the opportunity to get to know this man, it
may be time to create one. Consider hosting a
friendly get-together for some of your neighbors
and invite him and his children to participate.
You didn’t mention how old his children are, but
if they hit it off with yours, so much the better.
It’s a friendly gesture that shouldn’t be consid-
ered aggressive.
DEAR ABBY: I am a Southern belle who
was given two “first” names, such as Mary Lou
(Peggy Sue, Betty Ann, Bobbi Jo, etc.). All my
life the second half of my first name has been
dropped. When I sign in at a doctor’s office as
“Mary Lou,” it never fails that when I’m called or
the receptionist looks at my records, my name
is listed as Mary even after I have explained
that my name is Mary LOU. At the pharmacy, I
am asked my birth date because they say they
have several Mary Smiths, even when I say I am
Mary LOU Smith. Can you please tell me what
I can say so they will remember that I have two
first names? — NOT JUST MARY, IN THE SOUTH
DEAR NOT JUST MARY: Try this the next
time it happens. Look the person in the eye and
say, “I prefer to be called by my full name. It’s
Mary Lou, NOT Mary. Please note that in your
computer so we can be clear about it.”
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren,
also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was found-
ed by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear
Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440,

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 10).
Although you’re not materialistic by
nature, something you come into
possession of will make a remarkable
difference in how you are able to live
and work this solar year. You’ll make
an investment and be involved in a
discovery. Love and relationships get
better as you make more time for
them. Leo and Sagittarius adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 33,
38 and 45.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your
natural rhythm is like a heartbeat.
You have to slow down to listen to it,
and once you hear it’s beat, you can
decide what speed to go in order to
best sync with your internal clock.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
will open up to others as well as to
your own imagination. These things
happen simultaneously as you rise
to a creative challenge or take a cre-
ative approach to a rather mundane
challenge.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Making the bed will be the first
accomplishment of the day, and you’ll
proceed in this mode of self-direction
to do something much more challeng-
ing in the morning and spend the rest
of the day as a big winner.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Each
age you’ve been had advantages
and disadvantages. There are things
you can’t do anymore that you wish
you could, but there are many more
things you can and will do because
you’ve come this far.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re
almost never in the mood to tell a
person how to improve or what not
to do. Yet when it ends up being
your responsibility today, you’ll be
constructive and gracious.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Impulsiveness can be a very good
thing when the impulse is a healthful
one, though by definition there’s no
time to consider that. This is a day to
keep track of your impulses instead
of acting on them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There
are things that are rather silly to
demand of yourself, but you do it
anyway out of a sense of optimism
or, perhaps, imagination. You can
manage your expectations later.
Today is for dreaming.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Most of the fun and satisfaction will
center on the thing you treasure,
making the day’s small victories all
the more poignant. You’ll go to bed
with a smile on your face.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
There’s a need you’re not addressing
because you’re thinking of it as a
preference or a desire instead of the
necessity it is. To remedy this today
will be soul and strength fortifying.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You identify strongly with a person or
an ideology, and this is a cornerstone
of your personality. And if you forget
that you are more than a personality
or a worldly identity, the events of the
day will remind you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Big prizes usually come with outsized
challenges, staggering competition
or slim odds. The win you’re going for
will be achievable with daily efforts
over time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’re not sure whether others can
detect the change in you, but private-
ly you feel it. One way you can tell is
that different things appeal to you
than once did.

In the garden with Felder

Let’s talk landscape lighting

T
wilight time
in the garden
doesn’t have to be
gloomy or dangerous.
When Daylight Sav-
ing Time was put aside
for the winter, folks with
day jobs lost opportuni-
ties to enjoy after-work
colors and textures.
And it got dangerous,
because after dusk,
we can’t as easily see Felder Rushing
where to put our feet,
especially when step-
ping out from the bright lights of
the house, or stumbling home after ners for security, others highlight
a convivial evening on the town.
Over the years, I’ve worked out
a few things to help get me and
visitors through the garden in the
near dark. One is to simply set light
colored plants along walks, includ-
ing strategic clumps of variegated
Liriope and a few winter-white
“dusty miller” plants tucked here
and there for added oomph. On
even a partially moonlit night they
shine like gems.
I also planted silvery reflective
gazing globes in sharp curves and
hung outdoor wall mirrors that
catch and glow with reflected light.
But for my curved walks and
steps, which can be daunting even
in the daylight, I long ago went
electric. Low voltage night lighting
has come a long ways in the past
few years; it’s so easy to install
my son put most of ours together
when he was still a
teenager. And advanced
LED lights are big
improvements on and
longer-lasting than
incandescent bulbs
I use night lighting
for all sorts of reasons,
from setting a nice
backlit mood around
the deck and a train of
soft globe lights over-
head, to a chandelier
hung under the arbor.
Some lights are up
against the cabin and in dark cor-
special trees and garden features.
Most are scattered here and there
along walks and where steps are a
little tricky in the dark.
Which brings up a considerable
point: Night lighting is to help us,
not blind us; why have to wince just
to get to the door? It’s a comfort
and safety thing that could become
a serious liability. Not everyone
already knows how many steps
you may have, or where they are,
and may stumble into a nasty fall,
especially when eyes haven’t had
time to adjust.
There are inexpensive but
limited-use landscape lighting kits,
of course, but I went a lot more
flexible and expansive for just a
little more investment by designing
my own from components, which
was easy to install with no fear of
getting shocked.
All it takes is a power transform-
er box attached to an outdoor elec-
tric outlet to “step down” the power
from 110 volts to the same safe 12
volts that runs childhood electric
trains. Get a roll of black cable,
hook one end to the transformer
and run the wire all the way around
the yard, and cover it with mulch.
Then wherever a light is needed,
simply clip one on. Simple and safe.
Biggest caveat for a home-de-
signed system is that you need to
figure how many lights you want,
add up the total watts of all the
bulbs, and buy a transformer that
will run that many lights, plus a
little extra in case you want to add
more lights later.
By day, the light fixtures in my
garden are either decorative in
themselves or hidden with rocks.
At night they shine with either
high-watt (still low voltage) spot-
lights, or just-as-bright LEDs which
don’t need replacing every other Felder Rushing/Courtesy photo
year. Nighttime garden lighting can also be pretty by day and,
If you don’t have landscape light- after dark, makes garden paths safer to navigate.
ing, it isn’t a big deal to install your-
self. If you do have it, go outside
and see if any need adjusting for
efficiency and safety. Illuminate the
garden beautifully without blinding
your visitors.

J.L. King Center

Continued from Page 1C
■■■
Raising that match is
the focus of The Home-
stead’s Helping Hands
Project this month. Each
November for the past
four years, Buehler has
reached out to Home-
stead members and the
wider public to contrib-
ute toward an identified
local need. Past projects
have repaired a family’s
home, put 200 bikes
and 1,000 books into
the community, helped
a teen go to college and
put a roof on the King
community center.
The Homestead,
which offers workshops,
retreats and events on
health, wellness, natural
living and strength-
ening community, has
been a partner of the
J.L. King Center and its
mission since 2016. The
after-school program
began about a year ago.
“We have seen people
come in the doors of
the center as broken
people and seen them
walk out a year later with
degrees, jobs, homes
and effective parenting
skills,” Buehler shared.
“This is how you end
generational poverty.”
While funding for
morning workforce
programs for individuals
ages 17-24 is in place,
the after-school program
currently serving about
45 kids daily is severely
under-funded due to loss
of grant funding.
“It succeeds because
the women who run the
program are not getting
paid,” said Buehler.
“They volunteer to do it
because they believe in
the kids.”
Their goal is to get
every child passing all
academic subjects.
Margaret Brown
“pushes and preaches”
the center’s “roads to
prosperity” message to
the children she inter-
acts with daily. The child
development staff mem-
ber and nutritionist helps
identify each student’s
academic weaknesses
that merit extra atten-
tion — mainly math,
language and reading,
she said. Providing a
learning environment
with reliable heating,
cooling and lighting will
have a positive impact on
progress.
“We do what we can
summer and winter to
keep the bill down,”
Brown explained. “In
summer, we shut the
lights off and kept the air
as high as we could take
it. We got a lot of fans to
help.”
Brown also spoke of
water that sometimes
comes in under old doors
after a heavy rain, and of
numerous spots where
heat or air conditioning
escapes the building.
■■■
Starkville Utilities
General Manager Terry
Kemp is enthusiastic
about the partnership
with TVA and The
Homestead Center.
“We saw this as an
opportunity to actually
provide an
example of
how energy
efficiency
and new
technology
could be in-
corporated
into basical- Kemp
ly older
buildings that would be
used for different func-
tions going forward,” he
said.
Buehler remarked,
“They will use the site as
a teaching space to show
small businesses how to
best impact energy and
dollar savings, using the
King Center as a model.”
Kemp expects most
upgrades to involve heat-
ing, cooling, lighting and
possibly kitchen efficien-
cy and water heating.
“Those are proba- could help install a mini

Licensed general con- Buehler at thehome-

Starkville is integral to
that process. She is do-
nating labor for specific
improvements such as a
dropped ceiling, ener-
gy-efficient windows and
doors and improved air
handling.
“This is a project that
I fully believe in,” she
said. “Before we got on
board, I went over there
and met with some of the
ladies and saw what they
were doing. Our commu-
nity needs it, the town
needs it.”
Brown said, “Once
they get it done, I’m
going to be proud that
my students on all sides
of this building, in every
classroom, can really en-
joy this and that this will
be a place they can be
comfortable and get the
information and learning
they need.”
■■■
November, Buehler
said, is her favorite
month because of the
annual Helping Hands
project.
“It’s the month when
this community gathers
its collective concern for
our wider community
and makes a difference,”
she said. Toward this
year’s goal of sustainable
energy and youth devel-
opment, a donation as
small as $10 can change
a light bulb at the J.L.
King Center. A $50 gift
could purchase a panel
of drop ceiling; $100 can
replace an old window.
