Under a fee-in-lieu
agreement — which al-
lowed the company to pay
one-third of its full taxes
for 10 years — it paid about
$2 million annually. In
2018, the first year it was
assessed full taxes, the
company paid about $3.27
million.
Originally, it was cod-
ed as a basic power plant,
which allowed it to be de-
preciated at a faster rate.
A new employee in the tax
assessor’s office, Peter
Russell who came to Lown-
des County in February af-
ter working for Lauderdale
County, found the issue
and began looking into re-
coding the business.
“It wasn’t that anybody
did it wrong exactly,” An-
drews said. “It was that
there were three different
options on depreciation

when we started looking,
the code we are using now

The originally used
code would have depre-
ciated the plant to 40 per-
cent of its original value
for 2020. The new code,

three projects will cost
$130,000, according to Lo-
gan’s presentation data.
The board previously
gave feedback on the de-
signs of the renovations
and will hopefully vote to
approve them Tuesday,
Mayor Lynn Spruill said.
The other project for
the aldermen to consider
is a $100,000 renovation
of the Moncrief Park pool,
including a new deck, a
new pool house and like-
ly an updated filtration
system, Logan said. Me-
ridian-based LPK Archi-
tects are already working
on the design of the new
Moncrief Park restrooms,
so the goal is for them to
add the pool renovations
to their project, Logan
said.
Three of the four tennis
courts at McKee Park will
be resurfaced this week,
and the fourth will be con-
verted into a pickleball
court.

caught on video and has re-
ceived thousands of views
on social media.
The two men believed to
have started the fight were
arrested Wednesday, also
on simple assault warrants.

Village, Arkansas, and Har-
rison Porter of Ridgeland,

value. That bumped the
taxes the company owed
to more than $4.4 million
and raised the projected
value of 1 county mill from
$457,000 to $467,000.
Lowering taxes
LCSD, which has op-
erated at deficits for the
last few years, planned to
ask for a millage increase
to raise roughly $300,000
and start rebuilding its op-
erating fund balance.
Its $21.6 million request
from local tax sources —
from which the mill rate is
set — was about $3 million
more than it generated
in 2019, when a mill was
worth roughly $400,000.
A higher mill value
means it takes fewer mills
to generate the same
amount of tax revenue,
leading to the rate de-
crease.
The district has also
cut spending, primarily
through eliminating 64
teaching positions for this
school year.
“I’m not opposed to rais-
ing taxes when it’s needed,
but I believe we have to do
our due diligence before
we ask for a tax increase,”
LCSD board member
Brian Clark said. “We’ve
made some headway cut-
ting expenses, but there’s
still more work to be done.

to raise taxes is mostly

The department is in
the “research phase” of
replacing a playground
unit at McKee Park with
a wheelchair-accessible
unit during the 2019-20
fiscal year, and Logan said
he is looking into grants
that could help pay for the
$250,000 project.
The department is
also considering adding
gates to some parks and
more security cameras to
high-visibility areas, but
those projects are not set
in stone, Logan said.
Much of the funding
for the parks projects
will come from tourism
tax revenue that voters
approved increasing by 1
percent earlier this year to
build a tournament-ready
field and Cornerstone
Park and make other capi-
tal improvements.
Longer-term goals
One goal for the 2020-
21 fiscal year is to remove
the overgrown commu-
nity garden at Josey Park
and create a new one at
J.L. King Park.
“If there’s going to be
a spot for a public garden
and public produce, we
believe that’s a better use
of our efforts than to just
Wednesday on Facebook.
Porter also received a
simple assault charge for
allegedly physically as-
saulting a 53-year-old man
on University Drive on
Sept. 29, 2018, according to
court records.
The first two men ar-
rested were Nathan Cvita-
novich, 22, of D’Iberville,
and Dakota Husser, 23, of
Biloxi, also on simple as-
sault warrants.
Cvitanovich is a junior at
MSU, and Husser and Nel-
son are not students there,
officials confirmed to The
Dispatch.
Dozens of college-age
individuals participated in
the fight. The incident is
still under investigation and
more arrests are expected,
attributable to Greg An-
drews and his office,”
he added. “The (school)
board can’t really take all
the credit.”
On the county side,
the board of supervisors
raised property taxes by
2 mills last year, in large
part to defray revenue loss
from a 2018 Mississippi

States split by party on accepting Purdue Pharma settlement

Proposed settlement with the Stamford,
Connecticut-based drugmaker could
ultimately be worth up to $12 billion, though
critics doubt it will be close to that much
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — The
opioid crisis has hit virtually
every pocket of the U.S., from
rural towns in deeply conserva-
tive states to big cities in liber-
al-leaning ones. But a curious
divide has opened up.
The nation’s Republican state
attorneys general have, for the
most part, lined up in support
of a tentative multibillion-dol-
lar settlement with OxyContin
maker Purdue Pharma, while
their Democratic counterparts
have mostly come out against
it, decrying it as woefully inad-
equate.
Exactly why this is so is un-
clear, and some of those involved
suggested it can’t necessarily
be explained by the fact that the
Republican Party is considered
more friendly to big business.
Some of the attention has
focused on the role played by
Luther Strange, a Republican
former Alabama attorney gen-
eral who has been working for
members of the Sackler family,
which owns Purdue Pharma.
People familiar with the ne-
gotiations say he was at a meet-
ing of the Republican Attorneys
General Association over the
summer, sounding out mem-
bers about a settlement months
before a tentative deal was
struck this week.
Purdue has been generous in
recent years to RAGA, contrib-
uting more than $680,000 to its
campaign operation from 2014
through 2018. The company
also gave to the organization’s
Democratic counterpart, the
Democratic Attorneys General
Association, over the same five-
year period, but far less: about
$210,000.
Strange would not comment
Friday.
The proposed settlement
with the Stamford, Connecti-
cut-based drugmaker could ul-
timately be worth up to $12 bil-
lion, though critics doubt it will
be close to that much.
Nearly half the states and
lawyers representing some
2,000 local governments have
tentatively accepted the settle-
ment deal, according to people
familiar with the talks.

China to lift punitive tariffs White House says bin Laden

son killed in US operation
on US soybeans, pork The Associ ated Pr ess

WASHINGTON — The White House an-

‘China has a huge market, and the prospects for
importing high-quality U.S. farm produce are broad’
By JOE McDONALD
AP Business Writer
BEIJING — China will lift pu-
nitive tariffs imposed on U.S. soy-
beans and pork in a trade war with
Washington, a state news agency
said Friday, adding to conciliatory
gestures by the two sides ahead of
negotiations.
China will suspend tariff hikes
on soybeans, pork and some other
farm goods, the Xinhua News Agen-
cy said, citing the Cabinet planning
agency and the Commerce Min-
istry. Beijing “supports domestic
companies in purchasing a certain
amount of U.S. farm produce,” it
said, but it gave no details.
The move follows President Don-
ald Trump’s decision Wednesday to
Xinhua News Agency
postpone a planned Oct. 1 tariff hike
on Chinese imports to Oct. 15.
Hopes are growing that the two
sides might defuse the prolonged
dispute that is threatening global
economic growth. But there has
been no sign of progress on the
main issues in their sprawling con-
flict over trade and technology.
Beijing’s decision to restore ac-
cess to low-cost U.S. soybeans also
would help Chinese pig farmers
who use soy as animal feed. They
are reeling from an epidemic of Af-
rican swine fever that has caused
pork prices to soar.
Phone calls to the commerce and
finance ministries weren’t answered
on Friday, a national holiday in Chi-
na.
“China has a huge market,
and the prospects for importing
high-quality U.S. farm produce are
broad,” Xinhua said. “China hopes
the United States will be true to its
word, make progress on its commit-
ments and create favorable condi-
tions for bilateral agricultural coop-
eration.”
Beijing imposed 25 percent tar-
iffs on American farm goods last
year in response to Trump’s tariff
hikes on Chinese goods. Importers
were ordered to stop buying soy-
beans, the biggest U.S. export to
China.
China targeted farm goods,
hurting rural areas that supported
Trump in the 2016 presidential elec-
tion.
Secretary Steven Mnuchin called
Wednesday’s tariff delay by Trump
a “goodwill gesture to the Chinese.”
The Commerce Ministry said
Thursday importers were asking
American suppliers for prices of
soybeans and pork.
nounced Saturday that Hamza bin Laden , the son
of the late al-Qaida leader who had become an
increasingly prominent figure in the terrorist or-
ganization, was killed in a U.S. counterterrorism
operation in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.
A statement issued in President Donald Trump’s
name gave no further details, such as when Ham-
za bin Laden was killed or how the United States
had confirmed his death. Administration officials
would provide no more information beyond the
three-sentence statement from the White House.
American officials have said there are indica-
tions that the CIA, not the U.S. military, conducted
the strike. The CIA declined comment on whether
the agency was involved.
The White House statement said Hamza bin
Laden’s death “not only deprives al-Qaida of im-
portant leadership skills and the symbolic con-
nection to his father, but undermines important
operational activities of the group.” It said Osama
bin Laden’s son “was responsible for planning and
dealing with various terrorist groups.”
The U.S. officials had suspected this summer
that Hamza bin Laden was dead, based on intel-
ligence reports and the fact that he had not been
heard from in some time.

House committee subpoenas acting intelligence director

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
chairman of the House
intelligence committee
has issued a subpoena to
the acting Director of Na-
tional Intelligence, saying
Joseph Maguire is with-
holding a whistleblower
complaint from Congress.
House Intelligence
Committee Chairman
Adam Schiff said in a
statement Friday evening
that the committee will
require that Maguire tes-
tify Thursday unless he
complies with the subpoe-
na. The chairman did not
detail the subject of the
whistleblower complaint,
but said he was aware the
intelligence community’s
inspector general had de-
termined it to be credible
and a matter of “urgent
concern.”
Schiff said Maguire is
required to share the com-
plaint with Congress but
won’t do so, and “this rais-
es serious concerns about
whether White House, De-
partment of Justice or oth-
er executive branch offi-
cials are trying to prevent
a legitimate whistleblower
complaint from reaching
its intended recipient, the
Congress, in order to cov-
er up serious misconduct.”
He added that he was
concerned that admin-
istration officials “are
engaged in an unlawful
effort to protect the presi-
dent.”

Our View
Roses and thorns
A rose to the three Co-
lumbus Police Department
officers who helped save
a life Tuesday night. After
a call reporting a person
was standing on the rail of
the Highway 182 bridge, where it crosses
the Luxapalila, the officers climbed the
structure in order to make verbal contact
with the person. Ultimately, they were able
to convince the person to come down with
their assistance. In risking their own lives,
the officers were able to prevent a needless
death. The person, who was not charged,
was transported to Baptist Memorial
Hospital-Golden Triangle for treatment.
We applaud these officers for their heroic
actions.
A rose to Lowndes Coun-
ty Port director Will Sand-
ers and the port’s board of
directors for securing funds
necessary to keep the port
operating at peak efficiency
while accommodating future growth. For
the second time in 14 months, the port has
taken advantage of Mississippi Department
of Transportation grants to fund upgrades
at both East Bank and West Bank opera-
tions. Last week, the port secured $749,000
in MDOT grant funds to go to the purchase
of a new 110-foot crane for the East Bank,
replacing an almost 50-year-old crane that
was on its last legs. In July 2018, a $476,000
grant provided funding for a 250-foot crane
and rail extension that allowed for opera-
tors to offload two barges simultaneously.
These moves both improve efficiency and
capacity at the port, which serves a vital
role in bringing in materials and shipping
out products for our industry.
A rose to the Townsend
Community Center senior
citizen group for its efforts
in organizing Tuesday’s
candidates forum. Eight of
the nine candidates for the
Sept. 24 special election to fill the unex-
pired term of Gene Taylor, who died Aug.
6, participated in the event. Roughly 100
citizens turned out to hear the candidates
answer questions they submitted before the
forum. These kind of events are especially
important in local races where the candi-
dates may not be as well-known as the high
profile county and state-wide races. Every
chance the public gets to hear from the
candidates helps them make an informed
choice at the polls. We thank the senior
citizens group for providing this service to
their community.
A rose to Community
Counseling, which will now
be able to expand its service
to youths in Winston, Web-
ster and Choctaw counties,
in addition to the counties
it already serves — Lowndes, Oktibbeha,
Clay and Noxubee, thanks to a $5 million
grant. The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration grant will
provide funds for clients up to age 21, a
time when both diagnosis and treatment
is often hard to recognize. The grant will
not only expand Community Counseling’s
footprint, it will allow for more staffing and
resources. The grant will add 14 positions,
including a project director, therapists and
a outreach specialist, Taylor said. Some of
those positions will work in the new coun-
ties, with others reinforcing already-ex-
isting services. Community Counseling
expects to double the number of children
it serves to 800 through the seven-county
area. In a state where mental health care
has been seriously under-funded, this is a
very positive step in the right direction.

Mississippi Voices
Mississippi facing same issues
as other southern states
Our neighboring states are
dealing with many of the same
issues that Mississippi is facing.
To the east, Alabama, with
a Republican legislature and
a Republican governor, just
passed the first increase in the
gas tax in 27 years. Support
was bipartisan in the Alabama
House of Representatives with
only 18 of 77 Republicans voting
no and only three of 28 Demo-
crats voting no. The Alabama Wyatt Emmerich
Senate passed the tax by a vote
of 28 to 6.
The Alabama new gas tax added 10 cents to the exist-
ing 18 cents per gallon. Six cents of the total 10-cent tax
started September 1. Then an additional two cents in
2020 and the final two cents in 2021.
The new tax is supposed to generate $320 million.
Alabama cities and counties will get one-third of that
money for local road and bridge repairs. Unlike Missis-
sippi, many Alabama cities and counties have their own
local fuel tax.
Alabama Gov. Kaye Ivy said, “Almost 30 years with
no added investment to our infrastructure and drivers
can certainly feel it. However, being content with the
status quo is no longer acceptable. Alabama deserves
better, and in the case of our infrastructure system, we
are doing more.”
Both Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn and Lt.
Gov. Tate Reeves have said there is no support for a gas
tax in Mississippi. Yet one state more than 85 percent
of the Alabama legislators voted for the gas hike. That
makes no sense.
Mississippi now has the fourth-lowest gas taxes and
the absolute lowest gas prices in the nation. It is only
one of three states that has not raised its gas taxes in
more than 20 years.
Meanwhile, the Mississippi Economic Council,
backed by detailed engineering studies from our state’s
universities, has been clamoring for our state leaders
to do something. They maintain a website called Roads
Matter to generate public support.
The Roads Matter website claims Mississippians
spend $530 per year due to flat tires, cracked wind
shields and alignment problems. This compares to an
extra $80 a year per vehicle if a gas tax is passed. The
Roads Matter website also claims one-third of fatal ac-
cidents are caused by poorly maintained roads and that
the gas tax would generate 7,000 new Mississippi jobs.
Those against the gas tax complain about waste at
the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).
Yet Mississippi ranks as the 10th most efficient state
transportation department in the nation based on cost
per mile of road.
Polls show Mississippians are solidly behind the gas
tax. Democratic nominee for governor Jim Hood has
expressed support of the gas tax in the past, but has
done some waffling on the issue. Republican nominee
Tate Reeves is absolutely against it.
Living in Jackson, I can attest to what happens when
government doesn’t properly maintain its roads. I have
spent thousands on flats, bent rims, alignments and
worse. Looks like our Republican state leaders are on
track to make the exact same mistakes as the Jackson
Democrats at whom they love to point their fingers.
It’s been decades since Mississippi experienced a
competitive general election for governor with a Demo-
cratic candidate capable of winning.
Our neighboring state to the west, Louisiana, can
shed some insight into the possibility of that happening.
Four years ago, Louisiana state leadership was locked
up by the Republican Party when Democrat John Bel
Edwards shocked the state by winning the governor-
ship. He had been the minority leader in the state House
of Representatives before winning the state’s top office.
Edwards, a conservative Democrat, ran on a strong
pro-life, pro-gun platform saying his state needs “a

Louisiana is unusual because it has an open primary

the same primary race.

ry and won the general with 56 percent of the vote over
Republican U. S. Senator David Vitter. Vitter hammered
Edwards for supporting Obama and Clinton but it didn’t
stick.
Edwards immediately issued an executive order
to expand Medicaid. By the next year, the number of
Louisiana individuals without health insurance was cut
in half, 11.4 percent which was down from 22.7 percent.
According to a study conducted by LSU’s E.J. Ourso
College of Business, the expansion of Medicaid in
Louisiana has enhanced state revenues by an estimated
$103.2 million and has created and support personal
earnings of $1.118 billion across the state.
Upon assuming office, Edwards inherited a $2 billion
deficit from his predecessor, Gov. Bobby Jindal. Sta-
bilizing Louisiana’s budget was a top priority for the
Edwards administration. Edwards prides himself upon
reversing the economic downfall he inherited, claiming
the state under his governorship achieved record-high
GDP, record-high personal income, low unemployment,
and one of the highest economic growth rates in the
country.
Just like Mississippi, Medicaid expansion has been a
big issue in the neighboring state of Arkansas. In 2013,
led by a Democratic governor, the Republican legisla-
ture created an innovative plan called Arkansas Works
to expand Medicaid to 250,000 Arkansans. The plan
is similar to a plan proposed by Mississippi hospitals
called Mississippi Cares.
Dr. Joe Thompson was the Arkansas surgeon general
at the time of expansion. He writes, “A 2015 Gallup re-
port showed that since its Medicaid expansion program
took effect in January 2014, Arkansas’ uninsured rate
had been cut in half, dropping from 22.5 percent to 11.4
percent — the biggest reduction in the nation. Arkansas
went from being ranked 49th for its uninsured rate —
only Texas was worse — to 20th. As of 2017, Arkansas’
uninsured rate was again 11.4 percent. Mississippi’s
was 18.3 percent, and Texas’, still the worst, was 23.4
percent.
“The lower uninsured rate led to a 55 percent re-
duction in uncompensated-care losses at Arkansas
hospitals. This has been especially important for rural
hospitals, which treat many low-income patients.
“Since January 2010, only one rural Arkansas
hospital has closed for financial reasons. In the five
neighboring states that have not expanded Medicaid,
47 rural hospitals have closed, including five in Missis-
sippi, according to the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health
Services Research at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
“Expanding Medicaid also has helped stabilize Ar-
kansas’ health insurance market, improve competition
and control premiums. Since 2014, no fewer than three
and up to five insurers have offered plans through the
Health Insurance Marketplace in each of the state’s
counties.
“Many Southern states have only one participating
insurer in many of their counties — an exception being
Louisiana, which expanded Medicaid in 2016. The
competition encourages low rates: In 2014, 38 states had
marketplace premiums lower than Arkansas; in 2018,
only six states had lower premiums.
“Medicaid expansion has brought billions of new
federal dollars into Arkansas’ economy: $1.7 billion
between January 2014 and June 2015 alone, according to
the Kaiser Family Foundation. Arkansas also is saving
money because some individuals previously covered
under traditional Medicaid, which in Arkansas is 30 per-
cent state and 70 percent federally funded, are now cov-
ered under Medicaid expansion with enhanced federal
funding. A legislative task force consultant estimated in
2016 that Medicaid expansion would save Arkansas $757
million between 2017 and 2021.
“Arkansas modified its program last year to include
a much-debated work and community engagement re-
quirement that currently is blocked by a federal judge’s
order.
“However that issue is ultimately resolved, it is clear
from the examples of Arkansas and other states that
Medicaid expansion is a triple win: a benefit to the work-
ing poor, hospitals and state economies.”

Agency seeks to shorten lines at driver’s license offices

‘I’ve been to some of the stations where people are waiting four or
five hours. It’s frustrating for them. ... But I also think about the lack
of productivity of these people missing work.’
By EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — The head of
the Mississippi Department
of Public Safety told lawmak-
ers Friday that his agency is
working to reduce long waiting
times at driver’s license offices.
Commissioner Marshall
Fisher said the department has
increased the starting salaries
for driver’s license examiners
from $21,000 to $25,000 and is
hiring more people to fill the
jobs.
Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn
The department has also
started a “wait anywhere” test
project, letting people go online
to schedule appointments for
driver’s license testing at six
offices — two each in the north-
ern, central and southern parts
of the state.
Fisher was among the agen-
cy directors invited to speak
Friday to the Joint Legislative
Budget Committee. Top law-
makers are starting to look at
spending requests for the fiscal
year that begins July 1.
Wildlife officials said they
want money to renovate outdat-
ed facilities at state parks. Ed-
ucation officials said they want
to hire more literacy coaches.
Community college officials are
requesting money to enhance
career technical education. The
court system is requesting mon-
ey to give pay raises to judges.
Legislators told Fisher they
had received complaints from
people about long lines at driv-
er’s license stations.
“In my entire career, I’ve
never found anything more
frustrating than dealing with
this driver services issue,” Fish-
er said.
House Speaker Philip Gunn
said he has spoken to lawmak-
ers from other states that have
similar problems. He asked
Fisher if legislators could tweak
some laws or eliminate some
regulations to help ease the
problem in Mississippi.
“I’ve been to some of the sta-
tions where people are waiting
four or five hours,” said Gunn,
a Republican from Clinton. “It’s
frustrating for them. It’s frus-
trating for you. But I also think
about the lack of productivity of
these people missing work.”
Fisher said that in 2012, the
department had 200 people
working in driver services, and
that number had dropped to 120
by this summer. He said the de-
partment has 57 vacancies for
those jobs, and he estimated
that 600 to 1,000 people have
applied. The hiring process
includes a background check.
Fisher said the department
hired 10 driver’s license exam-
iners Sept. 1, and another 23
should be on the job by October.
Fisher said the old comput-
er system for issuing driver’s
licenses stopped working in De-
cember. He said the new system
is slower because of homeland
security requirements set by
the federal government. Under
the old system, an examiner
could take care of 100 custom-
ers a day, he said, but under the
new system, the maximum is
about 40.

Dem seeks cash for 2020 challenge of Miss. GOP senator
‘Sen. Hyde-Smith’s agenda and accomplishments are
much more in line with Mississippi voters than the
radical leftist agenda of national Democrats’
By EMILY WAGSTER
PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A Dem-
ocrat who tried to unseat
Republican U.S. Sen. Cin-
dy Hyde-Smith in Missis-
sippi last year is seeking
money to challenge her
again in 2020.
Mike Espy said in a
fundraising appeal Thurs-
day that he can “work with
others across party lines
and labels.” Espy served
in the U.S. House before
then-President Bill Clin-
ton named him agricul-
ture secretary in the mid-
1990s.
Republican Gov. Phil
Bryant appointed Hyde-
Smith to the Senate in
early 2018 when longtime
Hyde-Smith campaign spokesman Justin Brassell
Republican Thad Cochran
retired. In the November
special election to fill the
final two years of the six-
year term, Hyde-Smith
won 54 percent to Espy’s
46 percent. She ran as an
ally of President Donald
Trump, and he traveled to
Mississippi to campaign
for her.
Days after the election,
Espy created a committee
to run in 2020.
Republicans will try
to maintain control of the
Senate in 2020. Of the 34
seats up for election next
year, 22 are currently held
by Republicans and 12 by
Democrats.
Espy, who is African
American, criticized
Hyde-Smith, who is white,
for praising a supporter
during the 2018 campaign
by saying she’d attend a
“public hanging” if the sup-
porter invited her. A video
at another event showed
her talking about “liberal
folks” and making it “just
a little more difficult” for
them to vote.
“After the intemperate
statements she made about
public hangings and voter
suppression that went viral
last October and Novem-
ber, many of the large com-
panies that donated to her
campaign asked for their
money back,” Espy said
in the fundraising letter
Thursday. “In their own
words: ‘what she said did
not reflect the values’ of
those companies.”
In the past several
months, Hyde-Smith has
announced federal grants
for highways and bridges
in Mississippi, has joined
other Republicans and
some Democrats in calling
for completion of a mas-
sive pump project to drain
water from the Mississip-
pi Delta and has praised
Trump for an executive or-
der putting more sanctions
on Iran. Her campaign
spokesman, Justin Bras-
sell, said Thursday that the
senator welcomes “compe-
tition of ideas” from Espy.
“Sen. Hyde-Smith’s
agenda and accomplish-
ments are much more in
line with Mississippi vot-
ers than the radical leftist
agenda of national Demo-
crats,” Brassell said. “Sen.
Hyde-Smith has accom-
plished a lot for our state
by working well with the
President and her Senate
colleagues, and we look
forward to discussing her
record with voters.”
2 city ex-workers say
they were fired because
they are white
The Associated Press
MCCOMB — Two former employees of a
southwest Mississippi city are pursuing legal ac-
tion, claiming black officials fired them because
they were white.
Former McComb city prosecutor David Brew-
er sued the city Aug. 22 in federal court, The En-
terprise-Journal reported.
Former public works director Chuck Lambert
is pursuing a racial discrimination complaint he
filed earlier this year with the U.S. Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity Commission. That complaint
could be followed by a lawsuit.
Brewer claimed in the lawsuit that a vote to
replace him with Dawn Stough, a black woman,
had no other motivation besides racial animus.
Stough has since resigned.
The lawsuit says the white city attorney, police
chief and deputy city clerk were also replaced at
the same meeting.
The changes came after an African American
majority was elected to the city board and May-
or Quordiniah Lockley, also black, succeeded a
white man.
Lambert was replaced by a black woman who
had been public works director in the nearby
town of Magnolia.

with CPD as community rela-
tions officer.
“Seeing how our dad
interacted with people, how
he treated them and how he
seemed to be in the right place
at the right time, that really set
the foundation for me and my
brothers following in his foot-
steps, “ said Greg, who has one
brother serving with Mississip-
pi Highway Patrol and another
with the Amory Police Depart-
ment. “It’s in our blood.”
Greg graduated from New
Hope High School in 2005 and
spent a year in junior college
before joining the U.S. Air
Force — in which he served
four years as a military police-
man that included two tours in
Iraq.
His civilian law enforcement
career began with Madison
Police Department. He worked
briefly with Oktibbeha County
Sheriff’s Office before joining
the Pearl Police Department in
2013.
Over the past six years,
Greg has worked patrol,
interdiction, narcotics (which
he calls his “forte”) and as a
canine handler. He’s also an ac-
tive member of the PPD special
weapons and tactics unit.
But starting in August, the
department needed him else-
‘If this had occurred five hours earlier (before
school) or five hours later (after school),
we’d be reading about this in the obituaries’
where, a temporary position
as SRO at Northside Elemen-
tary, after the previous officer
holding that spot earned a
promotion.
“I love being around kids,
so when they asked me it was
a no-brainer,” Greg said. “It’s
funny how it works. God will
put you where He wants you
when you need to be there.”
Right place, right time
When the teacher’s assistant
fell unconscious at about noon
Tuesday, the classroom teacher
called the office for help.
Principal Nikki Graham and
two of her assistant principals
ran to the room and immediate-
ly began CPR.
Still no breathing. No pulse.
The nurse was called to
bring the school’s automatic
external defibrillator (AED),
while the teacher removed the
students to another room and
the principals rotated shifts
administering chest compres-
sions.
Greg Jones
“I saw the nurse running
down the hall carrying the
AED, and I knew something
was wrong,” Greg said. “…
That ain’t normal.”
Greg followed the nurse into
the classroom and assessed the
situation. The first problem he
dealt with was communication.
Northside is separate from
the other Pearl campuses
and about five miles from the
nearest fire station, he said.
In fact, the school is so close
to Flowood that 911 calls were
going to Flowood and having to
be redirected to Pearl.
Greg’s radio allowed him to
speak directly to the nearest
fire department and begin co-
ordinating with first respond-
ers getting to the scene.
“I’m telling them the situa-
tion, what doors they need to
come in and how to get to the
room,” Greg said.
By that time the nurse
had connected the AED and
employed it on the teacher’s
assistant.
“The thing about the AED
is when it shocks you, it tells
you whether you need to keep
doing chest compressions,”
Graham said. “We needed
Officer Jones’ strength to do
deeper compressions than we
had been able to do.”
Still monitoring his radio,
Greg took over the compres-
sions. Merely seconds after the
woman regained conscious-
ness, he said, firefighters came
through the classroom door.
“Even with everything that
happened, it only took them
about five or six minutes to get
there,” Greg said.
The teacher’s assistant,
which school officials have
not identified to the media, is
still in the hospital, both Greg
and Graham said. But she is
improving and is expected to
make a full recovery.
“This was definitely a team
effort with everyone respond-
ing like they did, and every-
thing fell into place,” Greg said.
“If this had occurred five hours
earlier (before school) or five
hours later (after school), we’d
be reading about this in the
obituaries.”
If it had happened six years
ago, even at the school, Gra-
ham said the outcome may also
have been different.
The Kiwanis Club of Pearl
bought the school the AED
in 2013, she said, and before
Tuesday it had never been used
in an emergency.
“We’ve had emergencies,
but never any that were
life-threatening,” said Graham,
who has been the Northside
principal for 11 years. “It’s just
the grace of God is all I can
say.”
‘We’re here to help people’
Greg didn’t call his dad to
brag about helping save a life
Tuesday.
But when a Jackson televi-
sion station covered it, he sent
Rick a link to the story.
“That’s how I found out,”
Rick said. “My
chest is swelled
with pride. He’s
such an outstand-
ing person.
“It’s nice when
you see some-
thing positive

like this when
there is some
negative stuff that comes out
about police,” he added. “We’re
not just here to enforce the law.
We’re here to help people and
that’s what (Greg) did.”

and arrived at Ground
Zero at 4 p.m. There they
presented the flag and
a donation of more than
$10,000 to representa-
tives from the memorial
that were raised through
the group’s Facebook
page.
For Leetch, who has
participated in the march
since 2015, what stands
out to him most about it
is how selfless the partici-
pants are every year.
“To come out and walk
30-plus hours, to walk X
amount of miles,” he said.
“Some guys will put in
70 miles, 80 miles. Some
guys will put in not as
much, but everybody kind
of goes to their capacity to
get the flag marched 100
miles to Ground Zero.”
Remembering 9/11
Leetch was a sopho-
more in high school in
fall 2001, trying to figure
out what career path he
was going to pursue. His
family had a long history
of military service, and
he wanted to fly, but it was
the attacks that cemented
the decision to join the
Air Force.
“I definitely decided
this is what I want to do,
if nothing else, to pull my
weight in the job that was
at hand,” he said.
Carpenter was even in
younger, in third grade
and living in Louisiana.
He can remember watch-
ing the second plane hit
the tower on television,
though he can’t remem-
ber if it was live.
“I was just old enough
to kind of realize what
was going on when this
all happened in 2001, so
it was a big driving factor
for my joining the military
to begin with,” Carpenter
said. “Now,all these years
later, getting to give back
a little bit more is all kind
of part of the mindset.
“This year we have peo-
ple that are enlisting in
the military that weren’t
even alive when all this
happened,” he added.
“They’ll never have the
experience of just watch-
ing the planes hit the tow-
ers. It’s easy to forget as
time passes on, so every
little bit to help preserve
the memorial and that
memory — enough can’t
be said for that.”
100 miles
Leetch and Carpen-
ter said the march began
at the base in McGuire
in 2013. Leetch heard
about it the next year and
became determined to
“jump into” it.

Leetch first marched
in 2015 and has done it
every year since, recruit-
ing Carpenter last year.
They and the other par-
ticipants, most of them
from McGuire, take time
off work and pay for what-
ever travel arrangements
and other expenses that
come with participating
in the march. Participants
this year flew in on Mon-
day and were at McGuire
the next morning.
Then the march be-
gan.
It’s a different route ev-
ery year, Leetch said, and
it does occasionally end
up on a highway where
the support vans have
to turn on their hazard
lights. By the time they’ve
been going for more than
12 hours — when “you’re
starting to slow down,”
he said — enough people
have seen them and there
has been enough buzz
about the march gener-
ated on news and social
media that the donations
online begin to pick up.
The group surpassed
their $10,000 goal this
year, with $10,475 raised
according to the group’s
Facebook page. Since
Leetch has begun par-
ticipating, they’ve raised
more than $30,000.
Both officers talked
about the camaraderie
and getting to achieve
a difficult feat with
like-minded people as
part of what’s special
about the walk.
“There’s 16 plus peo-
ple limping around today
from doing that,” Leetch
said Thursday. “It’s not
easy, but with a huge pay-
off and being able to rely
on those people that you
know will also pull their
weight and do what they
need to do in order to ac-
complish getting there on
time with the funds we
wanted to present and the
flag we wanted them to fly
was huge.”
Carpenter called it a
“one-of-a-kind” experi-
ence.
“You’re with your bud-
dies and you’re getting
to do something that not
a whole bunch of people
do,” he said. “It’s a huge

FLIGHT GROUNDED
Mississippi State quarterback Garrett Shrader falls after being lofted into the air against Kansas State during the fourth quarter Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.
Stevens’ injury, inconsistent play
mar MSU loss to Kansas State
“I hoped I got the first down. I didn’t.”
MSU freshman quarterback Garrett Shrader
By Ben Portnoy
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Staring down a 4th-
and-16 at the Kansas State 35-yard line,
Mississippi State freshman quarterback
Garrett Shrader took flight.
Time felt suddenly halted.
Shrader’s knees collided first with Kan-
sas State cornerback AJ Parker’s shoulder
before striking linebacker Elijah Sullivan’s
pads. Beginning to helicopter roughly six
feet in the air, the MSU signal caller began
his wildly graceful descent toward earth.
Crashing into the turf, Shrader landed
almost perpendicular to the ground with
his head angled toward the end zone at the
Kansas State 20-yard line.
He was a yard short.
“I hoped I got the first down,” he said. “I
didn’t.”
In that instant, the three-foot gap be-
tween Shrader’s final resting place and the
line to gain signified the culmination of a
31-24 loss Saturday. But at its core, the one-
yard distance was a manifestation of the
unbridled inconsistency that plagued MSU
(2-1) throughout the afternoon.
First, it was the Kansas State (3-0) rush-
ing attack that gashed the Bulldog defense.
Of the 14 plays that comprised the Wildcats’
first two scoring drives, six were runs of six
yards or more — three of which went for
nine yards or more.
Whether it was Jaden Crumedy and Er-
roll Thompson’s combined fourth down
stop in the first quarter or Brian Cole’s
fourth quarter strip-sack, the unit undoubt-
edly improved as the game developed.
But as the group played under coach Joe
Moorhead’s bend, don’t break mantra, it
cracked in crunch time as wandering eyes
in the linebacking corps left Kansas State
receiver Dalton Schoen unmarked for the
game-winning touchdown reception with
5:37 remaining in the fourth quarter.
“It was just a blown coverage — eye can-
dy,” senior defensive back Brian Cole said.
“Every time the tight end leaked out it was a
play action pass. We really just had bad eyes
for a second.”
Offensively, junior running back Kylin

Hill further demonstrated why he en-
tered Saturday’s contest as the nation’s
second-leading rusher as he recorded his
third-straight 100-yard game.
Grounding and pounding, Hill’s perfor-
mance was all the more impressive as he
recorded just two rushes for 10 yards or
more en route to an 111-yard day — one
that also marked the first time in his ca-
reer the Bulldogs lost a game when he
eclipsed the century mark.
As good as Hill was, MSU’s vaunted
passing attack, or so it had been deemed

Quarterback Tommy Stevens continued
to battle the upper-body injury that made
him a game-time decision and ultimately
forced him from the game, recording his
worst completion percentage — 46.6 per-

Shrader was an even more dismal 33.3

Defense, ground game lead West Point over Tupelo

WEST POINT — West
Point football coach Chris
Chambless knew his team
needed a spark.
After racing out to a
quick 14-0 lead, his defense
was soon on its heels after
Tupelo was engineering a
long, methodical drive with
less than six minutes re-
maining before halftime.

to cash in on 4th-and-4

back immediately. Thomas
swam past the right tackle
with ease and sacked Tupe-
lo quarterback Jake Weir,
forcing a fumble in the pro-
cess. Sophomore linebacker
Keon Cunningham immedi-
ately picked up the loose
ball and delivered a 70-yard
scoop-and-score to give his
team a three-possession
lead.
“We needed something,”
Chambless said. “We need-
ed a shot in the arm, and we
were able to get it. That was
huge, and Keon had great
awareness on that play.
Keon can certainly run, and
our guys know that.”
It was a pivotal moment

Nonetheless, Chambless
seemed bothered his team
committed four penalties
and gave away 25 free yards.
“We were a little sluggish
tonight,” Chambless said.
“We came off an emotional
win last week, and we were
in a good mood, but we just
came out a little sluggish.
Tonight showed that.
“But we were able to
overcome that and win the
football game… Our kids
overcame the mistakes.
They got the job done when
we had to.”
West Point (3-1) scored
on its first two drives thanks
to two rushing touchdowns
from quarterback Bran-
don Harris. Harris boldly
to settle for two. Harris fin-
ished with 70 yards rushing
and was 1 of 3 passing for 39
yards.
“I said I wanted to score
six (touchdowns), but you
have to credit Tupelo; they
have a good defense and
made some quality plays,”
Harris said. “We came out
and played hard. We just
kept running the ball and
made sure nobody could
stop us.”
Shortly after Tupelo’s
ill-fated fumble, the Gold-
en Wave scored their lone
touchdown of the night on
a 23-yard pass from Weir to
Tupelo wideout Trip Martin.

West Lowndes dominates Hamilton to stay unbeaten

By DAVID MILLER
Special to The Dispatch
Take what the defense
gives you.
As the West Lowndes
Panthers continue to cul-
tivate their vertical pass-
ing game, they’re keen to
do it with balance and effi-
ciency. Friday, in a district
tilt with Hamilton High
School, the Panthers,
who lit up Kemper Coun-
ty with four touchdown
passes last week, were
forced to navigate their
offense on the ground.
Still, the Panthers were
just as explosive, rushing
for 314 yards in a 36-0 win
to remain undefeated (4-
0) ahead of next week’s
King. “We were trying to
establish the pass, but the
run was there all night.
Playing Nanih Waiya next
week, we’re gonna have to
be balanced.”
King was particular-
ly displeased with the
amount of mental mis-
takes and penalties by the
Panthers, which are now a
trend after being plagued
with similar miscues last
week. The Panthers fin-
ished with 10 penalties for
85 yards and put the ball
on the ground four times,
losing it once.
“It concerns me a
whole lot,” King said. “We
had another bad week of
practice – it’s just been so
hot, and guys had Home-
cleaned up, will be “criti-
cal” plays when they face
tougher teams.
“It feels good (to get a
shutout), but we should
have done better,” Malone
said. “We didn’t execute.
We weren’t focused. We
couldn’t make the right
blocks or the right reads
on defense. We were arm
tackling.
“We’re definitely doing
better; we started 1-2 last
year. So it feels good, even
though we aren’t playing
as good as we should.”
Hamilton (1-3) strug-
gled to generate explo-
sive plays, leaning on its
backs, Hall and BJ Jones.
Hall had 97 yards on 27
carries, but the method-
West Lowndes’ Jherquaveus
like we should have been
ahead. We had two drives
inside the 20. They played
really hard for two and
a half quarters before
things got away.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: MISSISSIPPI STATE

Bulldog Bullets: A loss and a budding quarterback conundrum

Jennifer Mosbrucker/Dispatch Staff

Mississippi State quarterback Tommy Stevens (7) dives into the end zone for a rushing touchdown against Kansas State on Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.

By Garrick Hodge

Mitchell shows further promise

ghodge@cdispatch.com

STARKVILLE — I thought Mississippi State freshman quar-

as MSU receivers struggle

terback Garrett Shrader might play in Saturday’s game against
Kansas State.
But I thought that would be contingent on the health of Tommy
Stevens, not (what appeared to be at first) an outright benching.
And as it turns out, MSU coach Joe Moorhead decided to sit
Stevens for the rest of the game because his shoulder injury from
a week ago flared up, not because of his three turnovers (two of
which were on him).
Nonetheless, the full-bearded freshman signal caller and Ste-
vens’ lingering injury have inspired a quarterback conundrum.
You would have liked that to come after a win, but alas, Kansas
State defeated MSU 31-24 at Davis Wade Stadium. Moorhead is
going to have an interesting decision on his hands on what to do
with his quarterback depending on the status of Stevens’ shoul-
der. One could say Shrader showed promise: others might men-
tion he looked like a true freshman in his first Power Five action.
More on that later.
A quick programming note for those who are new here: Bull-
dog Bullets will be a weekly recurring article filled with short
observations and commentary written throughout Mississippi
State football games that posts shortly after the final gun.

To the Bulldog Bullets:

n I’m just going to put this out there: Shrader has his freshman
warts. Misreads, poor throws and instances of staring receivers
down were there. That being said, I’m incredibly bullish on his
future. He also sparked a touchdown drive on his first series, tried
flying (literally) to get the first down for MSU and got absolutely
launched in the air in the process. You can question his mechanics
(for now), but you can’t question the kid’s heart.
n Kansas State coach Chris Klieman has won 24 straight games
as a head coach.
n You don’t see the power I-formation all too often in college
football anymore, but Klieman is in love with it. He ran it a bunch
Saturday and did the same thing at North Dakota State.
n You almost have to wonder if MSU punter Tucker Day inten-
tionally kicked his punts short hoping Kansas State would muff
them. It worked, twice!
n So ends Mississippi State’s 16-game streak of holding oppo-
nents to 30 points or less.
n MSU right tackle Greg Eiland almost got Stevens obliterated
multiple times. He’s had better days.
n Cameron Dantzler’s absence was definitely felt in the MSU
secondary.
n Stopping the Wildcats on 4th-and-1 on the defense’s opening
drive had to feel good for a Mississippi State defense that was get-
ting completely gashed on the run (41 rushing yards allowed on
the opening series).
n Stephen Guidry didn’t exactly help his quarterback when Ste-
vens’ pass went off his hands and into Harry Trotter’s arms for the
MSU quarterback’s first interception of the year.
n The first quarter was a very pitiful performance by the MSU
offense. Thirty-nine total yards, three rushing yards, three first
downs in total, a turnover, two punts, three yards per play, zero
points.
n That muffed punt from Kansas State’s Jordon Brown sin-
gle-handedly gave MSU’s offense life when it seemingly had none.
n Can sum of Stevens’ second-quarter fumble, that he lost on
his own accord, with one word: Woof.
n Oh my goodness, Osirus Mitchell. The wideout continued to
assert himself as MSU’s No. 1 receiving option with an outstand-
ing one-handed 35-yard touchdown with nine seconds remaining
before halftime. It was a perfect catch on a perfect throw.
n Boy, did State need that last-second first half touchdown.
MSU had to feel fortunate it only trailed 17-14 at the break consid-
ering how mediocre the Bulldogs played.
n Isaiah Zuber had a pretty critical third-down drop on the first
series of the fourth quarter. The Kansas State transfer didn’t have
a good day against his former mates and finished without a catch.
n Perfect disguise on MSU defensive coordinator Bob Shoop’s
blitz that gave defensive back Brian Cole II an opportunity to
wreck Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson in the fourth
quarter. It’s no wonder Thompson fumbled on the sack, but it’s a
minor miracle he got up after that vicious hit.
n It was very hot for the second week in a row with tempera-
tures reaching the 90s. No disputing that. But I’m going to give
Mississippi State credit for giving every fan a free bottle of water
and providing free refill stations. I can’t blame anyone that doesn’t
want to sit in that heat for three-plus hours, but the athletic depart-
ment is doing everything it can to make it more bearable.
Osirus Mitchell finished the day with five catches for 74 yards and a touchdown as he led
the MSU receivers in yardage for the third straight week.
By Ben Portnoy
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — As the Mississippi State
kickoff team took the field with 46 seconds re-
maining in the half Saturday against Kansas
State, the raucous chorus of cowbells heard
pregame had turned into a half-hearted smat-
tering of clanging.
Yet as quickly as the disingenuous ringing
arrived, senior quarterback Tommy Stevens
fired-up the MSU faithful in the closing sec-
onds of the first half.
Despite completing just 46.6 percent of his
passes to that point, Stevens reared back and
delivered a dime to streaking junior receiver
Osirus Mitchell in the back of the end zone.
With two Kansas State defenders draped
over his back, Mitchell extended his left hand
— snagging the ball, dragging a knee and
crashing out of bounds just inches from the
base of the goal post for a score.
“I saw the corner battling and the safety
dropped,” Mitchell said. “As soon as the safety
dropped I knew it was a touchdown.”
Postgame, Mitchell said the play call was
the exact same on which he scored a 31-yarder
against Southern Mississippi last week. More
pressing, it offered another glimpse of the No.
1 receiver upside he’s shown in a receiving
corps that desperately needs a standout.
“He was able to swing the momentum there
at the end of the first half,” coach Joe Moorhead
said postgame. “He got deep on the post route
and was able to make some critical plays. He
had good offseason preparation. He had a good
game and is practicing really well. He reaped
from the benefits today.”
In all, Mitchell finished the day with five
catches for 74 yards and a touchdown as he
led the MSU receivers in yardage for the third
straight week.

Outside of the Sarasota, Florida native, it
was a rather troubling day for the Bulldog re-
ceivers.
After recording zero drops in the season
opening win against Louisiana two weeks ago,
the Bulldogs made numerous misplays in key
spots Saturday afternoon.
The first major blemish came from junior
Stephen Guidry. Standing well past the first
down marker near the Kansas State 31 yard
line, Stevens delivered a strike into Guidry’s
chest. Deflecting the ball up into the air, Guidry
tipped the pass right into the hands of Wildcat
safety Denzel Goolsby on a play eerily reminis-
cent of last year’s Outback Bowl miscue that
granted Iowa the victory.
Graduate transfer Isaiah Zuber also had a
major drop in the closing stages against his
former team. The one-time Wildcat found a
soft spot in the Kansas State zone for a surefire
first down early in the fourth quarter. Staring
down a Garrett Shrader pass, the ball rico-
cheted right off his chest before sputtering to
the ground.
“We have to make sure we’re executing the
plays at critical junctions of the games,” Moor-
head said. “Certainly, disappointed in the loss.
We had some opportunities there in the second
half to put the thing away, and we weren’t able
to do it.”
This isn’t to say the MSU receiving corps
has not shown marked improvement through
its first three games. The Bulldogs currently
boast five receivers with 49 yards or more —
though Mitchell is the only one to have eclipsed
the 100-yard mark with 208 on the year.
Further, with Mitchell offering No. 1 receiv-
er upside through the early going, MSU might
actually boast the deep and varied receiving
corps it’s preached about should Guidry, senior
Deddrick Thomas or Zuber find a few more
catches.

Tagovailoa has career day in Crimson Tide victory
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Ala-
bama quarterback Tua Tagov-
ailoa focused on what his team
needs to work on instead of his
career performance.
Sounds familiar, huh?
Tagovailoa threw for a ca-
reer-best 444 yards — the third
most in history for No. 2 Ala-
bama — and tied his high with
five touchdown passes in a 47-
23 victory over South Carolina
on Saturday.
But there was no gushing
or celebrations for Tagovailoa,
who seemed to channel his
coach Nick Saban in a sin-
gle-minded focus on what the
Crimson Tide (3-0, 1-0 South-
eastern Conference) must do to
improve.
“When we start drives, we’ve
got to finish them,” he said. “We
were able to move the ball really
well, but we got stuck.”
It seemed like Tagovailoa,
the All-American and Heisman
Trophy contender, unstuck the
Tide much of the game against
South Carolina (1-2, 0-1).
He had TD throws of 24 yards
to Najee Harris and 81 yards to
Henry Ruggs III in the opening
quarter. When the Gamecocks
closed to 17-10, Tagovailoa hit
Harris, who finished a nifty
run where he broke through
one tackler, leaped over anoth-
er and dragged a third over the
goal line with him.
“I always tell him not to do
that. I think it could be danger-
ous,” Saban said about Harris’
jump. “But he’s got a good feel
for it.”
Tagovailoa finished 28 of
36. He surpassed his previous
best of 387 yards set against
Texas A&M last year. Tagov-
ailoa matched his career high
of five TDs on an 11-yard toss
to DeVonta Smith in the final
quarter.
“As a quarterback, you have
to expect to throw the ball a lot
whether you want to or not,” Ta-
govailoa said.
Saban improved to 12-1 at
Alabama in SEC openers and
wiped away some bad mem-
ories of his last visit to Wil-
liams-Brice Stadium nine years
ago.
The passing numbers are
gaudy and great, but Saban said
his team must show more bal-
ance offensively. “It’s great that
we’re a great passing team,” he
said. “I also think from a team
standpoint, we need to be able
to run the ball well.”
The Crimson Tide finished
with 76 yards rushing against
495 passing.
Saban reminded his players,
COLLEGE FOOTBALL: SOUTHERN MISS. VS. TROY
Adams helps Southern
Miss hold on to beat Troy
The Associated Press
TROY, Ala. — Jaylond Adams re-
turned a kickoff 100 yards to help
Southern Mississippi thwart Troy’s
come-back bid and secure a 47-42 vic-
tory on Saturday.
Troy’s Reggie Todd had just re-
turned a kickoff 69 yards as the Tro-
jans closed to 33-28 with 11:28 re-
maining in the fourth quarter. Adams
answered on the following kickoff to
stretch the lead to 40-28. The teams
then traded touchdowns until Troy’s
Kaleb Barker hit Khalil McClain on a
35-yard touchdown toss to close to 47-
42 with 2:51 remaining.
The ensuing onside kick was recov-
ered by the Golden Eagles, and they
ran out the clock.
The teams had played nine times
previously but had never faced off
in Troy, and Southern Mississippi
made the most of the opportunity, go-
ing ahead 33-21 after Neil McLaurin
nailed Jordan Mitchell on a 51-yard
scoring strike early in the fourth.
Adams accounted for 322 all-pur-
pose yards, catching 11 passes for 180
yards and returning three kickoffs
for 136 yards total. He also had a punt
return for five yards and one rush for
one yard.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Trevor Lawrence, No. 1 Clemson beat nemesis Syracuse

The Associated Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Trevor Law-
rence threw for three touchdowns and
ran for another, and top-ranked Clemson
beat nemesis Syracuse 41-6 on Saturday
night.
Clemson (3-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Con-
ference) has won 18 straight games, a
school record and the longest streak in
the nation. It’s the second-longest win-
ning streak by an ACC member in con-
ference history, trailing a 29-game run
by Florida State from 2012-14.
Syracuse (1-2, 0-1), the last team to
defeat Clemson in the regular season,
was unbeaten at home last fall. The Or-
ange were coming off a 43-point loss at
Maryland that dropped them out of the
rankings.
Clemson won its eighth straight true
road game and avenged a 27-24 loss to
Syracuse two years ago, and the defense
stood tall, limiting Syracuse to 187 yards
offensively and sacking Orange quarter-
back Tommy DeVito eight times.
Lawrence was knocked out of last
year’s game in the second quarter, and
the Orange were poised for an upset vic-
tory on the road before backup Chase
Brice guided the Tigers 94 yards in
the waning moments for the winning
touchdown in a 27-23 win. Lawrence,
who threw on the run when he had to,
finished 22 of 39 for 395 yards with two
interceptions before departing in the
fourth.
No. 2 Alabama 47, South Carolina 23
See page 7B.
No. 3 Georgia 55, Arkansas State 0
ATHENS, Ga. — Jake Fromm threw
for 279 yards and three touchdowns be-
fore taking the rest of the day off, and
Georgia’s defense turned in a dominat-
ing performance.
With thousands of Georgia fans wear-
ing pink instead of red to honor Arkan-
sas State coach Blake Anderson’s wife,
Wendy, who died last month from breast
cancer, the Bulldogs (3-0) took control
as soon as they got their hands on the
ball. They scored on six of seven pos-
sessions in the first half, building a 34-0
lead.
The Georgia defense was equally
stout, posting its first shutout since the
2018 opener. The Red Wolves (1-2) went
three-and-out four times in the first half
and crossed midfield only once, settling
for a 50-yard field goal try that faded
wide right.
No. 4 LSU 65, Northwestern State 14
BATON ROUGE, La. — Joe Burrow
completed 21 of 24 passes for 373 yards
and two touchdowns, and LSU pulled
away from Northwestern State in the
second half.
Burrow has played through the third
quarter only once in three games be-
cause of lopsided scores. He’s 75 of 90
(83.3 percent) passing for 1,122 yards
and 11 touchdowns this season.
Burrow also ran for 30 yards and a
touchdown against Northwestern State
(0-3), an FCS team that was surprisingly
competitive in the first half before the
Tigers (3-0) dominated the third quar-
ter.
In leading LSU to the 800th victory in
the program’s 126-year history, Burrow
also became just the school’s sixth quar-
terback to throw for 300 or more yards in
consecutive games.
No. 5 Oklahoma 48, UCLA 14
PASADENA, Calif. — Jalen Hurts
racked up 439 scrimmage yards, be-
came the first Oklahoma quarterback
to pass for 200 yards and rush for 100 in
the first half and directed the Sooners to
scores on their first six drives.
The graduate transfer from Alabama
completed 15 of 20 passes for 289 yards
and three touchdowns and ran 14 times
for 150 yards and a score. CeeDee Lamb
and Charleston Rambo each had two
touchdowns to help the Sooners (3-0)
win their 21st straight true road game.
That is tied with Alabama (1970-75) the
second-longest away streak after World
War II.
UCLA drops to 0-3 for the second
straight year and has lost 12 of 15 games
under second-year coach Chip Kelly.
No. 6 Ohio State 51, Indiana 10
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — J.K. Dob-
bins ran for 193 yards and scored twice,
Justin Fields threw three touchdown
passes, and Ohio State routed Indiana.
The Buckeyes (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) have
won each of their first three games by at
least 24 points and extended their win-
ning streak in the series to 24, dating
to a tie in 1990. Ohio State hasn’t lost
to Indiana since 1988. And with Peyton
Ramsey starting at quarterback in place
of the injured Michael Penix Jr., the Hoo-
siers (2-1, 0-1) never had a chance.
No. 7 Notre Dame 66, New Mexico 14 No. 11 Utah 31, Idaho State 0
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Ian Book
threw a career-high five touchdown
passes, and Notre Dame’s defense came
up with three first-half interceptions in
its final tuneup before a showdown at
No. 3 Georgia.
Book rebounded from a lackluster
opening performance in a 35-17 victory
at Louisville to complete 15 of 24 passes
for 360 yards. Book finished with anoth-
er 46 rushing yards and a 1-yard TD.
The Fighting Irish (2-0) had their
way with the Lobos (1-1), who were with-
out head coach Bob Davie.
NO. 8 Auburn 55, Kent State 16
AUBURN, Ala. — JaTarvious Whit-
low rushed for 135 yards and two touch-
downs, and Bo Nix ran and passed for
scores to lead Auburn.
The Tigers (3-0) piled up 467 rushing
yards — and three 100-yard rushers —
in their final tune-up before Southeast-
ern Conference play. They also got some
big plays running and passing from Nix,
including a 49-yard flea flicker to Eli
Stove for a touchdown in the third quar-
ter.
No. 9 Florida 29, Kentucky 21
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kyle Trask re-
lieved an injured Feleipe Franks and
rallied Florida with three fourth-quarter
touchdown drives, including a go-ahead,
4-yard scoring run with 4:11 remaining.
Franks, the Gators’ third-year start-
er, was carted off with a right leg injury
late in the third quarter with his team
trailing 21-10. Stopped for no gain on
fourth-and-1 at the Kentucky 38, Franks
appeared to bend backward on the play.
Medical personnel placed an inflatable
cast under his right leg.
SALT LAKE CITY— Tyler Huntley
threw for 282 yards and three touch-
downs, and Zach Moss ran for 106 yards
and another score in Utah’s victory over
Idaho State.
In the first quarter, Moss passed Tony
Lindsay for second place on Utah’s ca-
reer rushing yards list. His 1-yard scor-
ing plunge later in the quarter moved
him into the No. 2 spot by himself in ca-
reer rushing touchdowns at 27.

“I think Garrett

there’s certainly things

ity for the troubling defi-
ciencies on coaching as

“We’re going to look

and go into the Palmeiro
Center and do a couple
drills.”

Hodge

While his mechanics
need work, the known
beard aficionado also
showcased his arm
talent, an ability to create
plays with his legs and a
huge heart that includes
a total lack of regard for
his body when a football
game is on the line.
Trailing by seven
with just more than two
minutes remaining,
Davis Wade Stadium
held its collective breath
when Shrader launched
himself into the air in
front of two Wildcat
defenders trying to turn
what looked like was
going to be an 11-yard
run into a 16-yard run on
4th-and-16. Kansas State
cornerback AJ Parker hit
Shrader mid-flight and
spun him around like a
helicopter that propelled
the MSU quarterback
about six feet in the air at
his highest point. That’s
probably only a slight
exaggeration.
There’s only one other
time Shrader has been
higher off the ground in
his life.
“On an airplane,” the
signal caller quipped
postgame.
Nonetheless, he didn’t
convert the 16 yards
needed, falling a yard
short at the Kansas State
20. Moorhead expressed
he was both disappoint-
ed Shrader didn’t con-
vert the run and didn’t
heave the ball downfield
instead.
When Shrader himself
had a chance to watch the
play, he was filled with
disgust he couldn’t come
through for his team. “I
just watched it and saw
if I would have reached
out, I would have had it,”
Shrader said. “I’ll have
to learn from it and move
on.”
Fans and players alike
will be disappointed with
the loss, a reasonable
assessment after MSU
was a 7.5-point favorite
entering Saturday. But
Shrader’s A-plus effort
should earn him the
respect of his fanbase.
It certainly won over his
teammates.
“He’s one of the
toughest guys I’ve seen,”
said MSU wideout Osirus
Mitchell, who finished
with five catches for 74
yards and a touchdown.
“You saw how he tried to
jump for that first down.
That shows his tough-
ness and how he puts the
team first, so I really like
Garrett. I think he has a
bright future.”
All of this doesn’t
come without context, of
course. For the second
straight week, Shrader
was thrust into action
when he didn’t expect to
play after starting quar-
terback Tommy Stevens’
injured shoulder stiffened
up at halftime.
“(Tommy) didn’t feel
like he could perform at
the level we needed him
to,” MSU coach Joe Moor-
head said.
So Shrader took over
for Stevens in the middle
of the third quarter and
immediately led a scoring
drive. But then, freshman
mistakes ensued. Maybe
none was more evident
on the eventual helicop-
ter drive than Shrader’s
decision to sling it down-
field to a double-covered
Mitchell on 2nd-and-11
when a wide open Austin
Williams lurked in the
middle of the field.
“I think we saw a little
last week that he’s not
really flappable and noth-
ing gets too big for him,”
Moorhead said. “Obvious-
ly, he’s a true freshman
quarterback playing
his first game against
a Power Five opponent,
so there will be a ton of
things on film we see that
will need to be corrected.
But from a skill perspec-
tive, he’s tall; he can run
and make all the throws.
He just has to clean up
the little stuff.”
Never really herald-
ed for his legs, Shrader
shined in the ground
game, running for 82
yards and a touchdown
on 10 carries.
“I thought Garrett
played really hard,”
Moorhead said. “He
did excellent in the run
game. There’s certain-
ly some things in the
passing game he needs to
pick up.”
The second-year coach
is going to start Stevens
next Saturday against
Kentucky if he’s given a
clean bill of health. That
seems pretty evident.
If Shrader is thrust
into action again, there’s
going to be more grow-
ing pains. But he’ll also
have the opportunity
to take flight, as he did
against the Wildcats in
Starkville. Shrader and
MSU can only hope the
landing will be smoother
next time.

Corinne Beauregard, left, and Jeannie King, both of Columbus, stand atop a scissor lift at New Hope High School Wednesday to work on signage for the ACT
30+ Club. At the request of New Hope High Principal Matt Smith, Beauregard, with King, created the wall by painting 3-foot tall letters and adding names
of students who scored 30 or better on the ACT in vinyl letters. With advancements in sign-making technology, Beauregard is one of a shrinking number of
designers who still do traditional sign painting.

ith a practiced motion, Corinne
Beauregard starts the quiet
electric motor of the scissor lift.
Slowly, the railed platform she’s standing
on rises into the air, the criss-cross metal
supports underneath it expanding, sending
her higher, higher. It’s not a new sensation
for Beauregard; she’s spent a lot of time air-
borne these past several weeks. This time,
it’s at New Hope High School in Lowndes
County, where the commercial sign painter
and graphic designer has created an “ACT
30+ Club” wall in the commons area.
In an era when software, vinyl lettering
and machines have made traditional sign
painting a rarer craft, Beauregard still
wields brushes when called on — often at
eyebrow-raising heights.
Sign painting is called “a dying art” in
some circles. Beauregard, of One of a Kind
Screenprinting/Graphic Design, has seen it
change significantly since she started out a
few decades ago. There were no computers
then.
“There was nothing automatic about it,”
she said. “Now, there’s not many sign paint-
ers; everything is done with vinyl.”
Arch Pitts at Pitts Sign Co. in Starkville
is a veteran of the industry and echoed that.
“Back years ago, when I started this busi-
ness in 1969, there was no such things as
computers,” he said. “It was all with brush-
es. And today we don’t own a brush.”
Beauregard is not simply one of a dwin-
dling number of traditional sign painters,
she’s a female sign painter — scarcer still.
“I don’t know any other female — any
other person here, as a matter of fact

U.S. News & World Report released
its rankings Sept. 9, showing The W No.

“Our students have long recognized

President Nora Miller.
The W also appeared in U.S. News’

its new season this
month with “The Magician’s

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: I’m a man in my
mid-70s, and I’m beginning
to understand why some
old people are annoying cranks.
It has something to do with the
nearly constant physical, emotion-
al and spiritual pain. (And if you’re
not sleeping well as a result, that
only makes things worse.)
My body is breaking down, and
something hurts all the time. My
wife died some years ago, other
loved ones are gone as well, and
my grief is an unending process.
I know my remaining time here is
limited, and I’m not sure I want to Dear Abby
depart the only life I’ve known for
an uncertain future.
I have started alienating friends and others
by the things I say, and I didn’t used to be this
way. There’s no excuse for this, of course, but
what I’m saying is, there are REA-
SONS. And yet, some people age
gracefully. My question is, how do
they do it? — ALAN IN FLORIDA
DEAR ALAN: It is extremely
important that you speak to your
doctor about everything you are
experiencing. Your unending grief
might be lessened if you discuss
it with a licensed mental health
provider.
It’s true that not everyone
ages physically at the same rate.
Some individuals start preparing
in their 40s and 50s for the later
stages of life by eating healthier
and exercising. The saying “use it
or lose it” has a lot of truth to it.
Muscles that don’t move tend to freeze up and
cause pain.
Volunteering is a wonderful way to stay
busy, active and focus on others, and volun-
teers are needed in every community. Please
consider what I have written, and let me know
how you are doing in six months. I care.
DEAR ABBY: I met and married my husband
20 years ago. Twelve years ago, we had a child.
Since then, I have felt like a single parent.
I think things were always this way, but I
didn’t notice as much until we had a child. My
husband has a good heart, and I know he loves
us, but he rarely spends time with us. He works
long hours in retail and chooses to spend his
off hours with others and without us. He loves
people and is quite a social butterfly.
He can go days without speaking to us,
and is content most nights with kissing our
daughter goodnight after she has already gone
to sleep. He makes plans and decisions on his
own — without me — including about money
matters.
Am I overreacting when I complain? I’m con-
templating a divorce because I need more than
a part-timer for a mate. — LONELY MARRIED
MOM
DEAR MOM: Overreacting? Frankly, I am
surprised that it has taken you this long to
write to me. The person you married appears
to be totally detached and more of a roommate
than a husband. That he goes for days without
speaking to you and your child is emotional
cruelty.
Spouses are supposed to socialize together
— at least most of the time — and make
financial decisions together. The only positive
you’ve mentioned is that he’s the family’s
bread-winner.
That you are contemplating divorce isn’t
surprising. Your husband left you behind emo-
tionally more than a decade ago. Consult an
attorney and familiarize yourself with as much
financial information as possible before making
any announcements.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 15).
An early theme of this solar journey
centers around peace, knowing what
it means to you and creating more of
it. A state of tranquility allows you to
do something productive with all the
learning and circumstances caused
by past trials. Peace helps you maxi-
mize the many opportunities coming
your way. Taurus and Scorpio adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33,
25, 17 and 4.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
do well because you work hard and
because how much work you put in
is something you have complete con-
trol over. Your motivation grows with
every small win, and with every small
loss, so you really can’t lose.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
People who are comfortable in
themselves are easy to be around.
You’ll have talks with friends where
nothing of note gets said and yet so
much gets shared.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Wherever possible, handle things up
close and in person. It’s the close
range where misunderstandings get
cleared up, facial expressions can
be accurately read and intentions
can be felt.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s
OK to expect a certain tone from
people and distance yourself from
lesser behavior, especially if the
moodiness could be part of some
pattern of emotional manipulation.
You’re right to protect yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Wel-
come the unknown. Make friends
with fear. Ideally, a comfort zone is
ever-expanding. This way, you can be
comfortable in many different situa-
tions. Life becomes more varied and
exciting.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life
is a little like grammar today. You
don’t have to know why a thing is
technically wrong to know that it
sounds wrong, doesn’t read well and
that you probably shouldn’t use it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Improvements aren’t always done
with action. Sometimes what helps
things along is more of an under-
standing. Better listening is part
of this, and so is taking your ego
out of the equation so you can be
impartial.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
don’t want to disrupt others, upset
the status quo or risk the decline
that could happen after a shake-up.
The reasons to call things “good
enough” are valid, though you’d do
well to revisit the matter next week.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The bigger the group, the more anon-
ymous people feel, the more likely
some will be to heed baser instincts.
Things happen in big cities and on
the internet that wouldn’t readily
occur in a small community.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Not every relationship has to
be a love story. People connect in
different ways. Trying to force the
connection into a category may
reduce it to something less beautiful
and interesting.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
When should you do what you don’t
want to do? This question will keep
coming up. Gently encouraging your-
self to do the bigger thing is better
in the long run than letting yourself
stay small.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
ask more of yourself than you ask
of others and also more of yourself
than others ask of themselves. Are
you being too hard? What would you
ask of a best friend? That should
define the limits of your demands.

In the garden with Felder

Reflecting on frogs — no, not the live kind

I
have more frogs
than I know what
to do with, what
with being able to
use only one at a
time.
Not talking here
about amphibious
tree frogs; this is
about the heavy
geegaws that hold
stuff upright in flow-
er arrangements.
Felder Rushing
I have over 30
vintage flower frogs
from my great-grandmother
Pearl who, for all her gruffness, Louise, a flower show judge
made exquisite wildflower
floral designs from her garden.
She let me play with the horti-
cultural oddities as a youngster, arrangements would never win
while slyly teaching me the
“line, mass and filler” basics of
making bouquets and such.
Bringing garden clippings
indoors in floral arrange-
ments ain’t exactly rocket
science. Though there are
untold thousands of books and
YouTube videos on it, basically
it’s just countless variations of
standing up a few flowers and
maybe some bits of
foliage or twigs in
a container. And,
really, if profession-
al designers will
pardon my peek
behind the naked
emperor’s mirror,
no two are alike, so
unless you’re beg-
ging for critiques
you can’t actually
mess up. Just do it,
and hold your head
up proudly.
Unlike my grandmother
who cherished her scrapbooks
of blue ribbons, down-to-earth
Pearl once confided that her
ribbons at her garden club. Her
grumpy advice was to please
myself; if I wanted ribbons and
awards, get used to jumping
through theoretical constructs
fabricated by others.
My first floral design course
at MSU, way back in 1977, was
taught by renowned floristry
professor Ralph Null who
also loved nature’s largesse,
Felder Rushing/Courtesy photo
Nobody seems to know how
they got the name, but “frogs”
refer to the assortment of gad-
gets that help flowers stay in
place in an arrangement.
showing me how to assemble
wildflowers in combinations
of visually heavy and roundish
flowers, plus something tall
and spikey to draw the eye
downward to the main show,
softened with a little frilly filler,
and maybe a cascading bit
tucked in.
We stood our materials
upright in floral foam, a block
of lightweight but fairly rigid
green stuff that absorbs water
like a sponge and keeps the
flowers and foliage stems hy-
drated so they last longer. But
before floral foam, dating back
at least to 14th century Japan,
were flower frogs made of lead,
glass, bronze, wire or decora-
tive ceramic which hold even
the trickiest flower arrange-
ments firmly in place. Not even
the editor of The Flower Frog
Gazette knows why they are
called frogs; best guess is about
how the holders sit in water like
a frog.
There are several kinds of
flower frogs, with many varia-
tions. One is a heavy glass or
ceramic base with holes (one
of mine has a larger middle
hole for a candle). Along those
lines, when I teach children
flower arranging I have them
poke drinking straws into Irish
potatoes, fill with water, and
put flowers in each.
“Pincushion” frogs have
lots of thin, sharp spikes that
stems can be stabbed onto.
“Hairpin” frogs feature upright
wire loops, and heavy metal
mesh “cage” frogs hold up
larger stems at various angles.
You can home-make one of the
latter by crushing a ball of half-
inch hardware cloth or even
chicken wire so it’s just large
enough to press against the
sides of your vase for stability.
Two of my favorites fit atop
glass Mason jars; one is simply
hardware cloth cut to fit inside
a screw-on jar lid; the other is a
heavy ceramic disk with holes.
When Pearl died, her frogs
passed down to Granny, then
my mother, who gifted them
to me. I use some all the time,
nearly every week, for gath-
ering a few stems from my
garden and creating a colorful
ditty for my little cabin.
The rest I just admire as
touchstones from days long
ago.

nine-year New Hope
High School Principal
Matt Smith, who com-
missioned the ACT wall.
“But Corinne said, ‘I can
do that.’ And I could not
be more tickled with it.
Trust me, it’s created a
buzz with our student
body.”
Beauregard remarked,
“I’d been doing smaller
things at New Hope,
including a series of
basketball champion-
ship signs the principal
wanted brightened up
for the new gym. Then
he was asking about the
ACT wall and if it was
something I could do. I
said, ‘Absolutely! I ain’t
scared,’” she laughed, the
“ain’t” for emphasis.
■■■
Beauregard’s high-fly-
ing work is visible
elsewhere, like a recent
job in Tupelo where she
and frequent collaborator
Jeannie King painted
“DELI” on a business —
in 8-foot tall letters.
All this “big-and-tall”
work started several
years ago when Colum-
bus attorney Gawyn
Mitchell wondered if ad-
vertising could be paint-
ed high on the building
housing his downtown
practice.
Beauregard recalled,
“I was excited and said,
‘We can do that.”
The scissor lift for that
one put the sign painter
and King about 30 feet in
the air to paint prominent
letters measuring 3- to
4-feet tall. The higher the outlining letters through the task sometimes done though, Beauregard “As long as what I’m

“The starting point is pounding, said King of Looking ahead, future. I’m OK,” she laughed.
the worst; once you get
into what you’re doing,
it’s alright, but it’s not
like standing on the
ground,” Beauregard
said.
■■■
Sign painting as a
craft has a long and
storied past. Historically,
artisans acquired their
skills through apprentice-
ships, which could last
for years. Beauregard’s
artistry showed early in
creating faux finishes on
floors. She also earned,
as did King, a degree
with emphasis in graphic
design at Mississippi Uni-
versity for Women. She’s
honed her skills working
at Mid-South Signs and
with Joe Dillon’s former
sign business. She is now
with her family’s One of
a Kind shop, where she is
often busy with screen-
printing, vinyl and decals.
But there’s something
about the challenges of
painting the big ones.
One of the most signifi-
cant is physically getting
the sign pattern up on the
wall. Paper patterns with
small holes designating
letters are pieced togeth-
er from smaller segments
and attached to the sur-
face to be painted.
“I don’t know how any
one person could put it up
alone,” Beauregard said.
Then, bags filled baby
powder or chalk are
pounded on the pattern,
