input session for Starkville’s proposed
restrictions on short-term rental prop-
erties in single-family residential neigh-
borhoods.

COLUMBUS — Tuesday evening,
100+ Women Who Care Columbus an-
nounced its second Impact Award, with
14 organizations vying for the $13,900
prize.
The group was founded in May,
based on a simple idea: Bring 100 or
more local women together who will
pledge $100 twice a year to support an
organization that serves people in Low-
ness County.
Tuesday, the FORGE Foundation was
selected from among three randomly
selected finalists by a vote of the 100+
Women who gathered at the Courtyard
by Marriott.
The FORGE Foundation (Family Or-
ganizations Recruiting Great Employ-
ees) will use the money for its efforts
to revive interest in long-neglected area
— recruiting and training young people
for work in the trades and construction
industry.
Now a little more than two years old,
the organization was founded for a very
practical purpose.
“We couldn’t find employees who had
the basic skills we needed,” said Katie
McCrary, who owns McCrary-West
Construction with her husband, Lu.
The McCrarys realized it was a com-
mon complaint in their industry. With
so much attention devoted to advanced
skills needed by area industry, groom-

Area employers invited to free health and wellness fair Thursday

DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
Mississippi Business Group
on Health and the Golden Trian-
gle Human Resource Associa-
tion will host the first Employer
Health and Wellness Resource
Fair in the Golden Triangle for
area employers at East Mis-
sissippi Community College’s
Communiversity Thursday.
Area employers and pastors
are invited to attend the fair,
which goes from 9 a.m.-noon, to
learn more about how to inspire
healthy lifestyles among em-
ployees and others throughout
the Golden Triangle commu-
nity, according to an MSBGH
press release. The event is free.
The fair is designed to
give employers an overview
of health care resources in
the community and includes
a series of free workshops on
topics ranging from how to
include physical activity and
encourage healthy foods at
work to how behavioral health
drives overall health costs.
Pastors are encouraged to at-
tend because ministerial staff
spend a significant amount of
time helping members with
health-related issues, the press
release said.
“Our members actively
work to hold down cost in-
creases through health benefit
plan design and by rewarding
employees who utilize cost-ef-
fective healthcare providers,”
said Adrienne Morris, GTHR A
president, in the press release.
“However, employers and
employees must be educated
about local and regional health
care resources and motivated
to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
We need all area employers
and pastors to participate in
this event so we can make a dif-
ference in the lives of our em-
ployees and communities.”
The event is also sponsored
by the Mississippi Department
of Health, EMCC, the Colum-
bus Lowndes Chamber of Com-
merce, the Greater Starkville
Partnership and the West Point
Growth Alliance.
While registration is not
mandatory, employers and pas-
tors are encouraged to regis-
ter at www.msbgh.org/events.
Anyone with questions is asked
to contact event coordinator

Autoworkers from closed Trump 2020 targeting

plants fight new GM contract Hispanic vote in
‘Your plant can be shut down at any time. What
the contract is lacking is the language to prevent
this from happening again.’
General Motors employee John Sandquist Jr.
By TOM KRISHER
AP Auto Writer
DETROIT — If they can close
our plant, they can close yours, too.
That’s the message from work-
ers at three shuttered General Mo-
tors factories that didn’t get new
products under the tentative con-
tract agreement reached last week
between GM and the United Auto
Workers, who have been on strike
against the company across the
U.S. for over six weeks now.
About 2,000 employees who
once worked at GM transmission
plants near Baltimore and Detroit
and a small-car assembly plant in
Lordstown, Ohio, will repeat that
message this week as 49,000 union
members vote on the new four-year
deal.
Approval could end the walkout
that has crippled GM’s production
and cost the company an estimated
$2 billion.
Most of the workers who lost
their jobs at the three sites are
scattered across the country after
transferring to other GM factories,
so they have a presence at just about
all of the automaker’s plants.
But few are holding out hope
they can torpedo the contract,
which comes with an $11,000 sign-
ing bonus, pay raises and plenty of
other economic goodies for the fac-
tories that are staying open.
John Sandquist Jr., who spent 25
years building cars at Lordstown
near Cleveland, said he is not opti-
mistic he will change other people’s
minds, but he will vote against the
pact.
“Your plant can be shut down at
any time,” Sandquist said. “What
the contract is lacking is the lan-
guage to prevent this from happen-

US endorses tobacco pouches as less risky than cigarettes
FDA regulators stressed that their
decision does not mean the pouches
are safe, just less harmful
By MAT THEW PERRONE
AP Health Writer
WASHINGTON — For
the first time, U.S. health
regulators have judged a
type of smokeless tobac-
co to be less harmful than
cigarettes, a decision that
could open the door to
other less risky options
for smokers.
The milestone an-
nouncement on Tuesday
makes Swedish Match
tobacco pouches the first
so-called reduced-risk to-
bacco product ever sanc-
tioned by the Food and
Drug Administration.
FDA regulators
stressed that their deci-
sion does not mean the
pouches are safe, just
less harmful, and that all
tobacco products pose
risks. The pouches will
still bear mandatory gov-
ernment warnings that
they can cause mouth
cancer, gum disease and
tooth loss.
But the company will
be able to advertise its to-
bacco pouches as posing
a lower risk of lung can-
cer, bronchitis, heart dis-
ease and other diseases
than cigarettes.
The pouches of ground
tobacco, called snus —
Swedish for snuff and
pronounced “snoose”
— have been popular in
Scandinavian countries
for decades but are a tiny
part of the U.S. tobacco
market.
Users stick the te-
abag-like pouches be-
tween their cheek and
gum to absorb nicotine.
Unlike regular chewing
tobacco, the liquid from
snus is generally swal-
lowed, rather than spit
out. Chewing tobacco
is fermented; snus goes
through a steamed pas-
teurization process.
FDA acting commis-
sioner Ned Sharpless said
the agency based its deci-
sion on long-term, popu-
lation-level data showing
lower levels of lung can-
cer, emphysema and oth-
er smoking-related dis-
ease with the use of snus.
Sharpless added that
the agency will closely
monitor Swedish Match’s
marketing efforts to en-
sure they target adult to-
bacco users.
“Anyone who does
not currently use tobac-
co products, especially
youth, should refrain
from doing so,” he said in
a statement.
we call ‘tajaditos.’ Little
bits. You have to have a
little bit of this and a lit-
tle bit of that,” said Ber-
tica Cabrera Morris, a
Cuba native and “Lati-
nos For Trump” adviso-
ry board member. “You
don’t need everyone
from every group, but
you have to have a little
bit of everything.”
For many reasons,
not the least of which is
the president’s hostility
toward immigrants, it
will be a difficult sell.
That was clear on a
recent evening in York,
Pennsylvania, when
Karyme Navarro, 18,
was filling out her
first voter registra-
tion form but stopped
on a question about
party affiliation.
Trump’s policies and
anti-immigrant rheto-
ric that they’ll turn out
in force to deny him a
second term.
Those on the front
lines of Trump’s effort
concede that the pres-
ident’s anti-Hispanic
fervor doesn’t help.
Still, they say many
Hispanics will be won
over by a strong econ-
omy and conservative
social values. Similarly,
Democratic activists
say simply criticiz-
ing Trump often isn’t
enough to attract His-
panic support.

US defense secretary in Iraq

to discuss troops leaving Syria
President Trump

By LOLITA C. BALDOR
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD — U.S. Defense Sec-
retary Mark Esper arrived in Bagh-
dad on Wednesday as chaos swirled
along the Turkey-Syria border and
Iraqi leaders chafed over reports
that the U.S. may want to increase
the number of troops based in Iraq,
at least temporarily.
Esper’s meetings Wednesday at
the Iraqi Defense Ministry came a
day after Iraq’s military said Amer-
ican troops leaving northeastern
Syria don’t have permission to stay
in Iraq.
The Iraqi statement appeared
to contradict Esper, who has said
that all U.S. troops leaving Syria
will go to western Iraq and that the
military would continue to conduct
operations against the Islamic State
group to prevent its resurgence in
the region.
He later added that the troops
would be there temporarily until
they are able to go home, but no

The Associated Press
AKCAKALE, Turkey — Russian military police began patrols on
part of the Syrian border Wednesday, quickly moving to implement an
accord with Turkey that divvies up control of northeastern Syria. The
Kremlin told Kurdish fighters to pull back from the entire frontier or
else face being “steamrolled” by Turkish forces.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan echoed those warnings,
saying his military would resume its offensive against Kurdish fighters
if the new arrangements are not carried out.
Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin reached an agree-
ment Tuesday that would transform the map of northeast Syria, install-
ing their forces along the border and filling the void left by the abrupt
withdrawal of American troops. The Kurdish fighters, who once relied
on the U.S. forces as protection from Turkey, were given a deadline of

HONG KONG — Hong

Kong authorities on
Wednesday withdrew an
unpopular extradition bill
that sparked months of
chaotic protests that have
since morphed into a cam-
paign for greater demo-
cratic change.
Secretary for Security
John Lee told the semi-au-
tonomous Chinese city’s
legislature that the gov-
ernment had suspended
the bill because it had re-
sulted in “conflicts in soci-
ety.”
In order to clearly spell
out the government’s posi-
tion, “I formally announce
the withdrawal of the
bill,” Lee told lawmakers.
Pro-democracy lawmak-
ers immediately tried to
question him but he re-
fused to respond.
There are no signs that
the withdrawal of the bill
would dampen the pro-
tests, now in their fifth
month. The rallies have
snowballed into the city’s
biggest political crisis in
decades, expanding to
demands for universal suf-
frage and an investigation
into allegations of police
abuses, most recently in-
cluding the spraying of a
mosque and bystanders
with high-pressure blue-
dyed water from an urban
assault vehicle.

Our View

Full public should have access to Lowndes superintendent interviews

In March 2016, the Missis-
sippi Legislature changed the
way public school districts
select their superintendents,
a change that will go into
effect on Jan. 1.
Until now, school districts
had the option of allowing
voters in the school district
to elect the superintendent or
have that choice made by the
school board. The option for
electing superintendents was
removed, which means all su-
perintendents are chosen by
the school board. For LCSD,
it will be the first time the
board will choose a superin-
tendent.
Among the candidates for
the job is Lynn Wright, whose
second term as superinten-
dent expires on Dec. 31.
The law was intended to
provide school districts with
a deeper pool of candidates,
allowing for state-wide and
national searches for quali-
fied candidates.
What the law was not in-
tended to do was to eliminate
all public participation in the
process.
Yet this unintended conse-
quence appears to be unfold-
ing with LCSD’s search.
To date, the school board
has shared virtually no
information about the search
with the district’s stakehold-
ers — parents, teachers, staff,
student or taxpayers. All
we have been told is that 15
candidates were presented to
the board and that seven of
those candidates are still in
consideration.
The board expects to nar-
row that field to three or four
finalists, but unless the board
alters its plans, the public will
never know who the finalists
were, let alone have the op-
portunity to hear the finalists
make their cases for the
job through a public forum,
which is standard practice.
Instead, the board will hold
what it calls a “limited public
forum” on Nov. 12. Each
board member will bring
three hand-picked county
residents to meet with the
candidates, ask questions and
rate them. The broader public
will have the opportunity
to submit questions to the
hand-picked residents. The
information will be given to
the board to help with their
selection.
That means just 15 people
— all of whom are selected
by board members — will
represent thousands of stake-
holders.
As it stands, the only thing
99.99 percent of the people
who live in the school district
may ever know about the
search is who is ultimately
chosen for the job.
We understand the unique
situation in play here. It’s
rare that a sitting superin-
tendent would be a part of
such a search, after all. We
further understand that much
of the public is divided into
pro-Wright and anti-Wright
camps. Certainly, not opening
itself up to that sort of scru-
tiny is something that would
greatly relieve the pressure
that is applied to board
members. But this is the job
board members signed up for.
Avoiding unpleasant scrutiny
should not be the board’s pri-
mary concern, as it appears to
be in this case.
While the new law does
give the school board the full
responsibility for choosing
a superintendent, we cannot
imagine that it was the Legis-
lature’s intent to eliminate vir-
tually all meaningful public
participation in that decision.
We urge the board to
reconsider, make the names
of the finalists known to the
community and make those
finalists available to all citizen
stakeholders through a forum
that is open to everyone.
Failing to do so is a slap
in the face to all who have
a vested interested in this
important decision.
It’s worth remembering,
that while superintendents
are now appointed, school
board members are chosen
through elections.
That’s something the
LCSD board members should
keep in mind if they persist
in this closed-door selection
process.

School
absenteeism a
serious concern
Across Mississippi in Oc-
tober and November, school
districts are emphasizing
the importance of atten-
dance. Beyond the basic con-
cept of showing up in order
to learn, the state provides
per-pupil funding based on
the attendance during these
two months.
These attendance num-
bers can result in a loss of
funding for school districts,
but they also expose a
serious issue that impacts a
student’s education. One of
the most significant chal-
lenges educators throughout
Northeast Mississippi face
every day is student absenc-
es - students can’t learn if
they aren’t at school.
Chronic absence is de-
fined as any student absent
10% or more of the time
that he was enrolled in any
school and any student who
misses 50% or more of a
school day.
In Mississippi, the ab-
sentee rate stood at 10.3% in
2011 and increased to 14.15%
in 2017, according to data
provided by the Kids Count
organization.
All school districts in
Northeast Mississippi saw
an increase in absenteeism
from the 2010-2011 school
year compared to numbers
in 2016-2017. Benton County
had the highest jump from
7.8% in 2011 compared to
20.3% in 2017. Pontotoc
County was 7.1% in 2011
and 17.5% in 2017, followed
closely by Monroe County
with 9.9% in 2011 and 24.3%
in 2017. New Albany had the
lowest absenteeism rate of
9.25% in 2017, compared to
7.4% in 2011.
Each day missed poten-
tially weakens what a student
learns and how a student
performs on tests measuring
academic achievement and
progress. Student absences
lead to lower levels of litera-
cy by third grade and higher
likelihood of high school
dropout and lower rates of
college completion.
A sound, basic education
is only possible when we
work to ensure that students
are in school every day and
receive the support they
need to learn and thrive.
When schools, communi-
ties and policymakers rec-
ognize and address factors
leading to chronic absen-
teeism, trends to failure can
be reversed. Schooling and
jobs require high attendance
standards, and it must start
in school.
(Tupelo) Daily Journal
Letters to the editor
City responds to recent letters
A letter-to-the-editor in the October
16, 2019, edition of this publication by
candy-salesman-serial-letter-writer Lee
Roy Lollar contained more non-stop
bashing of the City. In recent weeks, I
have attempted to answer his inaccurate
attacks politely. However, the distortions
and false narratives continue, so here is
the truth.
The City Council meeting of October
15, 2019, was the subject of that letter.
That meeting opened with a recitation
of Psalms 19:14, which stated: “Let the
words of my mouth, and the meditation
of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight,
O Lord my strength and my redeemer.”
This opening dialogue and prayer was
offered by a minister of a local church to
the audience, the Mayor and City Coun-
cil.
During the meeting, the City Council
tabled a matter for which supporting doc-
uments had not been distributed. Rather
than be thankful that the Council tabled
the item, Mr. Lollar was insulting, abu-
sive, and negative in his letter. I suppose
he would have preferred that the Council
and Mayor voted on the issue without the
supporting documents.
Not willing to write a letter with just
one insult of the City, Mr. Lollar contin-
ued “ … The City gives deadlines on bids,
but doesn’t give those bids to the Council
for approval? Something is just not right
with this. Could it be the bid was not the
one’s the City wanted? Makes a fellow
wonder.”
Mr. Lollar then starts in with more
insults, comparing the City to a 1920’s era
comedy routine by Abbott and Costello. I
would ask Mr. Lollar if he contemplated
whether his continued words of negativity
and sarcasm over every action taken by
the City that he doesn’t understand could
help in any way? I don’t think so.
It is sad that a small, but vocal, group
of citizens in our City take pleasure in
insulting every issue they don’t under-
stand and suggesting something sinister
is afoot when they just can’t comprehend
something. Rather than asking for details
or clarification on an item, the letter writ-
er rolls it all into a conspiracy and pens a
letter to this newspaper.
It’s easy to throw rocks at our leaders
every time they do something you don’t
agree with or don’t understand. It is much
harder to get in there and try to make
things better. Maybe that’s why so few
actually try to help and instead only write
endless insulting, sarcastic letters. Since
Mr. Lollar wants to use comparisons like
Abbott and Costello, one has to wonder if
Lollar doesn’t have a bit of Chicken Little
in him. Guess what Mr. Lollar, the sky
isn’t falling. Many great things are hap-
pening in our City every day, but that’s
not nearly as exciting as offering any
words of kindness, appreciation or even
thankfulness.

Response to Paul Mack comments on
impeachment inquiry
In your response to my letter, you
stated that, “The current impeachment
inquiry is following the procedural steps
as laid out in the Constitution,” Well, that
is technically correct ... and incorrect.
What Democrats are doing, is constitu-
tional, but they are not following “pro-
cedure” as laid out in the Constitution.
Article One of the Constitution proclaims
that the House “shall have the sole power
of impeachment” and that the Senate has
“the sole power to try all impeachments”
and convict a president for “treason, brib-
ery, or other high crimes and misdemean-
ors.” That is all it says. It does not give
any procedural guidance. Historically, in
the previous impeachment proceedings, a
vote in the House was required to commit
a matter to the House Judiciary Commit-
tee for an impeachment investigation. It is
the House Judiciary Committee that has
to request that the AG appoint, special
council to the inquiry. Schiff and the
Democrats do not want special council
because they will lose the ability to con-
trol the information and the investigation.
They have not voted to open the inquiry,
they have not asked special counsel be
appointed to conduct the investigation.
They are investigating via Committee
that is under Democrat control. What
happened to the “whistle blower”? After
it came out that the “whistle blower” had
contact with Adam Schiff‘s “office” before
the complaint was filed, all of a sudden
Adam Schiff doesn’t need them to testify.
Why? Article One deems this all “Con-
stitutional” because there are no proce-
dures, in the Constitution.
But no previous impeachment inquiry
has ever been conducted in this manner.
This is classic partisan politics and proof
that special council should be investi-
gating and not the peddler of “parody.”
Republicans on these committees are
reporting that selective bits of testimony
is purposely leaked to the mainstream
media to bolster impeachable offense
claims, while testimony that contradicts
the claims, is being suppressed. Once
again, trying to stack the deck ... And the
house of cards will fall.
As for the innocuous phone call, I
read the actual document, not the CNN
“version”. It was clear to me that the
conversation was about 2016 and not
2020 as Democrats are insisting. These
numerous people who were “alarmed,”
are either Obama holdovers or deep state
operatives, “Russian collusion 2.0”. I hope
Democrats keep right on worshiping
these polls. Ask Hillary how that went.
Mulvaney’s comments were unfortunate
and reminded me of A.O.C when she gets
off script. He obviously was not prepared,
but his a pas are irrelevant to this discus-
sion.

Multistate lottery games start
in Mississippi on Jan. 30
JACKSON — The new Missis-
sippi Lottery will start offering
multistate games on Jan. 30.
The state’s lottery corporation
on Tuesday announced the date
that Powerball and Mega Millions
will be available in Mississippi.
The corporation said last week
that the sale of scratch-off tickets
for single-state games in Mississip-
pi will begin Nov. 25.
Mississippi has been one of six
states without a lottery, but law-
makers met in 2018 and authorized
the games of chance. The first $80
million a year will go to highways,
and revenue after that will go to ed-
ucation.
Powerball and Mega Millions
are overseen by the Multi-State
Lottery Association.
Billboards showed wrong
election date for Mississippi
JACKSON — Some billboard
messages have been removed in
Mississippi because they urged
people to vote on the wrong elec-
tion date.
WAPT-TV reports that the bill-
boards in Jackson said the election
is Nov. 16.
The correct date for Mississippi
is Nov. 5.
Kamari Guthrie is spokeswom-
an for a nonprofit, nonpartisan
group called vote.org. She says
the organization ordered the vinyl
covers for billboards, but they were
intended to go up in Louisiana,
where runoffs are Nov. 16.
Hal Kilshaw is vice president of
government relations for Lamar
Advertising, which owns the bill-
boards where the messages went
up. He says workers noticed the
date was wrong, and all of the in-
correct messages were removed by
Saturday.

CALEDONIA — It took a

notched its eighth consecutive
straight-set win.
The Lady Confederates

it 25-18 and dominating the rest

sound off on
Moorhead’s
rumored
connection
to Rutgers
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — While
the rumors regarding Mis-
sissippi State football coach
Joe Moorhead and the va-
cant head coaching job at
Rutgers have begun to heat
up of late, those within the
walls of the Bulldog pro-
gram are not concerned.
Speaking with the media
Tuesday, a number of play-
ers were asked about Moor-
head’s status with MSU and
what he has said regarding
the rumors.
“It’s funny to him if any-
thing,” freshman quarter-
back Garrett Shrader said.
“He’s not leaving an SEC
West program, and he’s
told me that multiple times.
‘We’re going to win an SEC
championship here’ — that’s
his message to me.”
“There’s always going to
be outside noise — that’s
just the world we live in
these days,” junior running
back Kylin Hill added. “I’m
not too focused on that; no-
body is too focused on that.
He’s coaching while he’s
still here. Everybody loves
the man; nobody is worried
about it at all.”
Shrader and Hill’s com-
ments come just days after
both Moorhead and MSU
athletic director John Cohen
were pressed on the rumors
while appearing on The Paul
Finebaum Show on Friday.
Finebaum asked Moor-
head and Cohen about a New
Jersey Advance Media re-
port that named MSU’s head
coach as a top candidate for
the job according to folks fa-
miliar with the process.
“It’s not something that is
under consideration,” Moor-
head said Friday. “My focus
is here at Mississippi State.
This is where we want to be
and what we want to do.”
Cohen was more combat-
ive with Finebaum during
the latter stages of the show
when questioned on the
Moorhead-to-Rutgers saga.
“Let me get this right,
Paul, you’re saying because
something is getting re-
ported, something is going
on?” Cohen said. “We live
in different worlds, Paul. I
hear things from all over the
place.”
While Moorhead is still
under contract for the next
three seasons, the Rutgers
opening does make some
geographic sense for the
Pittsburgh native.
After spending four years
as the head coach at Ford-
ham — his alma mater — he
served as the offensive coor-
dinator at Penn State for the
2016 and 2017 seasons.
Prior to Fordham, Moor-
head worked as the offensive
coordinator and quarter-
backs coach at UConn from
2009-2011. He was also a
graduate assistant at Pitt
during the 1998 and 1999
seasons.
That said, MSU now shifts
gears to a Saturday road con-
test against 4-3 Texas A&M

Logan Schaefer arrested Sunday in Texas
Soto, Nationals beat Cole, Astros in World Series opener
STARKVILLE — The son of Mississippi State
women’s basketball coach Vic Schaefer is facing felony
charges for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in
College Station, Texas.
Charles Logan Schaefer, 24, was arrested Sunday
after a reported road rage incident according to The
Bryan-College Station Eagle.
Schaefer allegedly got into a dispute with a motor-
cyclist regarding each others driving around 3:40 p.m.
During the argument, police said Schaefer drew a gun
on the unnamed motorcyclist.
The motorcyclist went on to follow Schaefer’s
pickup until police arrived.
According to jail records, Schaefer’s bond was set
at $10,000. He was released Monday.
Per Schaefer’s LinkedIn profile, he graduated from
MSU in 2018 and has worked as a sports marketing
assistant at Texas A&M — where he is also studying
for a masters degree in sports management — since
September 2019.
Schaefer’s father, Vic, has been the head women’s
basketball coach at MSU since March 2012. During his
seven-year tenure, the Bulldogs have twice reached the
national title game.
Vic Schaefer did not respond to The Dispatch’s
request for comment Tuesday.

New Hope
Continued from Page 1B

While the Trojans were
prone to misplays in the sec-
ond and third sets, they never
seemed particularly discour-
aged, never seemed like losing
was even an option. Not bad for
a team without a single senior.
“We’re really excited,” Net-
tles said of reaching the semi-
finals. “We didn’t think we
were gonna be going there.”
The trip to Starkville for the
state final four — if the Trojans
win Thursday, they’ll play in
Saturday’s Class 5A final —
may not have been expected,
but it sure is what the Trojans
dreamed of.
“It feels incredible, because
we’ve worked all year for this,”
Hudgins said. “I’ve been on
this team since eighth grade,
and this is what we’ve been
working for.”
That work showed through-
out Tuesday night’s match
with thunderous kills in a dom-
inant first set, crisp passing
throughout and unlikely digs
in key moments.
“This is really just a team ef-
fort,” New Hope coach Allison
Woolbright said. “There’s so
many things that have to hap-
pen for it all to come together.”
Woolbright pointed out the
play of Kensley Woolbright,
her libero, as well as big kills
from Goodman and freshman
Madyson McBrayer, as being
instrumental in the win.
For Ridgeland head coach
Jessica Packer, the loss was
frustrating for how close the
Titans came in the second and
third sets, but Packer said she
was happy with the effort her
players displayed.
“That makes me proud that
at least they’re fighting for it,
and it shows that they’re want-
ing to win and being aggres-
sive,” Packer said.
Senior outside hitter Mad-
ison Majors was particularly
effectual, especially on her
serve. She broke a 3-3 tie in
the third set with three con-
secutive aces that seemed to
indicate a turning tide for the
Titans.
“Her serves really stepped
up, and she really pushed her-
self to be a leader,” Packer
said. “Getting her kills in and
turning around in the back row
and having some aces against
a team that passes really well
was really strong for us.”
But after Majors’ third ace
put Ridgeland up 6-3, New
Hope battled back. Down 8-7,
the Trojans rattled off five
straight points and didn’t trail
until an attack error gave Rid-
geland a 22-21 lead. At 23-23,
Ridgeland’s Mercedies Cald-
well hit her serve wide, and
Nettles unleashed a serve on
match point that the Trojans’
Eden Moorehead could only
deflect backward and out
of play, giving the Trojans a
straight-set win.
“I’m just kind of in disbe-
lief,” coach Woolbright said.
“It’s been a roller coaster and
exciting. A lot of anxious feel-
ings and uncertainty, but it’s
certainly been fun.”
The fun and the accompa-
nying anxiety are far from
over: New Hope gets to face
the Quadrant 3 champion,
Long Beach (20-8), at 4 p.m.
Thursday at the Newell-Gris-
som Building in Starkville.
Nettles knows the Bearcats
will be a big challenge: “It’s
gonna be very nerve-wrack-
ing because we’re young,” she
said.
But, as Tuesday showed,
New Hope has overcome sim-
ilar challenges before.

EAST MISSISSIPPI COMMUNITY COLLEGE

From baseball at Propst Park to EMCC’s sports hall of fame

By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
On May 16, Rodney
Batts, then the head base-
ball coach at Mississippi
Gulf Coast Community
College, had just led the
Bulldogs to an 8-0 win
over Jones College in the
NJCAA Region 23 Tour-
nament in Fulton.
When Batts got back
to the motel where he was
staying, he found he’d
missed a call from East
Mississippi Community
College executive direc-
tor of college advance-
ment Marcus Wood,
with whom Batts went to
school in Scooba. Wood
left his old EMCC school-
mate a message, so Batts
listened. Then he called
back.
“I’m certainly grateful
for that call,” Batts said.
To his surprise, Batts,
a New Hope High School
graduate who played
baseball at EMCC from
1993-94, had just been
informed he was one of
eight 2019 inductees of
the EMCC Sports Hall of
Fame.
“It’s something I will
treasure forever,” Batts
said. “Very thankful to
get the opportunity. Go-
ing into the hall of fame,
that’s special and some-
thing you don’t ever think
about.”
The honor became
even more special on Oct.
8, when the school re-
leased the full list of this
year’s inductees. Only
then did Batts find out
he’d be sharing the hon-
or with a longtime team-
mate: Chris Chism, who
grew up with Batts in the
New Hope area, was one
of EMCC’s other honor-
ees. The two often played
with and against each oth-
er at Propst Park, played
high school ball together
at New Hope and attend-
ed EMCC at the same
time.
Chism, now the princi-
pal at Pearl High School,
and Batts, the new head
baseball coach at Delta
State University, are in
touch occasionally — typ-
ically when Chism is tell-
ing Batts about a possible
addition to the States-
men’s roster — but their
bond remains deep.
Former New Hope teammates Rodney Batts, left, and Chris Chism were EMCC baseball team captains in 1994.
“I’ve played with a lot
of good baseball players
in my time,” said Chism,
who teamed with 2006
World Series MVP David
Eckstein at the Univer-
sity of Florida. “Rodney
is by far one of the best
baseball players I’ve ever
been around for my entire
career. He’s a great guy.
Always has been.”
‘Corn Bread’
and soap operas
During Batts’ time at
EMCC, coach Bill Bald-
ner bestowed nicknames
on his players.
“If you had one, you
had one,” Batts said. “If
you didn’t, he would give
you one.”
For no particular rea-
son, Batts said, Baldner
gave him the moniker
“Corn Bread” — a nick-
name official enough to
appear in Batts’ biogra-
phy in the team’s pub-
lished guides in both 1993
and 1994.
Chism had a VCR in his
room, and he’d often tape
shows like “Days of Our
Lives,” which the team al-
ways enjoyed. “We’d have
10 baseball players or so,
as soon as we got out of
class, would be sitting in
my room watching a soap
opera, if you can believe
that,” Chism said.
The Lions, simply put,
were “just a good old
bunch of country boys
playing the sport they
love,” Chism said.
EMCC fielded four
players from New Hope
besides Batts and Chism,
which both said helped
tremendously as they ad-
justed to an area without
much around. Off cam-
pus, there weren’t any
stores around — Chism
recalled taking trips to
De Kalb or Meridian
when he needed anything
— and Highway 45 was
a two-lane road that ran
past the town.
“There was nothing
to do here in Scooba but
class and your athletics,”
Chism said. “I think that’s
the part that prepared me
for everything else. It’s
work. It’s not just work on
athletics. It’s work on the
field, too. It’s just work in
general. Junior college
baseball is a very hard-
nosed league.”
‘A foot in the door’
The preparation Batts
and Chism experienced
in Scooba soon paid off.
After making the Region
23 Tournament in their
sophomore seasons, the
two headed elsewhere.
Batts, who played catcher
as well as serving as the
Lions’ closer in his soph-
omore year, helped lead
Delta State to a 93-23 re-
cord in his two years on
the team.
Chism, who had offers
from Auburn and UAB,
went to play in a wood-
bat league in New York.
While staying with a host
family, he got a call from
someone purporting to
be an assistant coach at
Florida.
“I thought it was one
of my teammates playing
a prank on me,” Chism
said. “I didn’t even think
it was real.”
It took a few minutes,
but Chism realized the
call was serious. Dead se-
rious, in fact: The Gators
faxed Chism a letter of in-
tent within 36 hours of the
call, and he was on board.
“I thought, what better
place to go than a school
that’s got a brand new
coaching staff coming
in,” Chism said. “All I
Courtesy of Chris Chism
wanted was a foot in the
door somewhere. That
was all.”
He got more than that,
starting in center field
on Florida’s 1996 College
World Series team during
his second year with the
Gators. He never planned
on a pro career, so after
a year in the Milwaukee
Brewers’ minor-league
system, Chism’s playing
days were over.
What came next
Chism had a plan for
what came after baseball:
engineering. But it didn’t
last.
“I really thought I was
gonna go ahead and be an
engineer,” he said. “But
in the end, the only thing
that I ever really enjoyed
doing was working with
kids.”
So Chism switched
gears from engineering
to education. He was an
assistant coach at EMCC,
an assistant at New Hope,
a head coach at Hernando.
After stops at New Albany
and Lafayette, Chism was
hired as Pearl’s principal
in 2015.
Batts, meanwhile, was
never done with base-
ball. After two years in
the Philadelphia Phillies’
system, he became a
graduate assistant at Del-
ta State, then a full-time
assistant.
“My two sons, they
were both born here in
Cleveland,” Batts said.
“This is kind of our sec-
ond home. Actually, I’ve
spent more time in Cleve-
land than I have in Colum-
bus.”
He was hired as the
head coach at Gulf Coast
in 2014 and led the Bull-
dogs to back-to-back Re-
gion 23 Tournament ap-
pearances in the past two
seasons.
But in July, Delta State
called, and Batts was
back where he got his un-
dergraduate degree.
“Not many people get
to coach at their alma ma-
ter,” Batts said. “That is
certainly special for me
and my family.”
A ‘stepping-stone’
Thousands of athletes
have traversed EMCC’s
campus, so Chism said
he was “humbled” to get
the call to be part of the
Lions’ hall of fame.
He got to see his old
stomping grounds Mon-
day, touring campus
alongside current EMCC
dean of students Tony
Montgomery, who grew
up across the street from
Chism.
Seeing old classrooms
and past professors,
Chism said he realized
the impact EMCC had
on him goes beyond the
school as a whole — rath-
er, it was the individuals
who made it all possible.
“It means the world to
me to have a lot of people
that cared enough about
me and put a lot of time
into me,” Chism said. “It’s
not as much me; it’s about
the people around me that
have made me the person
I am today, that helped me
get to where I am today.”
Had he gone to a four-
year college, he said,
he’s not sure he would
have made it. For Chism,
EMCC was the perfect
“stepping-stone” for life,
academics and work.
“Without this place, I
wouldn’t be anywhere,”
Chism said.

Caledonia
Continued from Page 1B
from Tori Brooks and Camryn
Johnson. Tori Brooks also fin-
ished with a match-high nine
kills. Maddy Suggs led Cale-
donia with seven digs.
Still, Caledonia began the
second set much like the
first — in a 7-7 tie early on
— though Lanier scored just
two of its points in that span.
Lanier only scored four of the
11 points they mustered in the
set, which turned sideways af-
ter three aces from Suggs and
kills from Alexa Lindsey, Zoe
Hansen and Kennedy Lam-
bert to close out the set.
By the third set, Lanier’s
players were tired, confused
and out of order on the court.
Caledonia styled on the Bull-
dogs (16-3) late in the set,
sending both Hansen and
Tori Brooks in the air for an
attack, only to have Hansen
feign a swing and Tori Brooks
smash the ball past the middle
of Lanier’s defense. The play
illustrated Caledonia’s talent
disparity over Lanier, and also
how much fun its players are
having.
“It’s pretty amazing, be-
cause sometimes we even
psych each other out when-
ever we do that,” Tori Brooks
said.
Tori Brooks said they over-
came the slow start by “play-
ing smarter.”
“And if we found a hole, we
tried to put it there,” she said.
“Shawntel (Mathews) hit a
bunch of line, and Zoe hit a
bunch of cross. We did a good
job of mixing it up.
“At the beginning of the
game, (Lanier) were doing re-
ally good at blocking and fol-
lowing our hitters, but by the
second set of the game, they
had no blockers up there, and
we could just put it away.”

MISSING MY DAD
IN NEW YORK
DEAR MISS-
ING: Not knowing
your father, it’s
hard to guess
his reason for
distancing him-
self from you and
his grandchild. It
does appear that he is punish-
ing you for something. Could
he have been hurt or angry
that you chose to live with your
mother rather than stay with
him and your stepmother?
Because it has been four
years, you may have to accept
that this estrangement will be
permanent and find a way to
cope with the loss. If you have
a religious adviser, start there.
DEAR ABBY: My roommate
loves watching documentaries
about serial killers, psycho-
paths and other criminals. I
don’t like them. To me it feels
like a glorification of a person
who did evil.
On the flip side, I watch
tons of spy movies, superhero
movies and action films that
depict violence. But the distinc-
own side is a mark of superior
character.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’ll tie a number of loose
ends and make some final
decisions. Leave nothing for

it now or you’ll decide it’s not
worth your attention after all.

tion lies in that what I watch
is fiction. Usually the good
guys win, and if they don’t, it’s
temporary.
My roommate gets really
mad when I watch or even talk
about the movies I watch, but
becomes really defensive when
I compare them to what she
watches. My roommate is very
fragile emotionally and cries,
withdraws and shuts down
when I do this. The last time,
she insinuated I was less of a
person for liking these things.
Ultimately, I felt sorry for bring-
ing it up, and she still refuses
to acknowledge that we are
allowed to like different things
without being bad people.
I need to know how to bring
up that how she responds to
the things I like hurts me, and
communicate that I have noth-
ing against what she watches,
even if it’s not my taste. How
can I communicate my feelings
without feeling like I’m being in-
sensitive for asking her to stop
berating me? — JUST A MOVIE

DEAR JUST A MOVIE: The
most diplomatic solution would
be for the two of you to agree
that certain subjects of con-
versation should be avoided
— this being one of them. And
if you can’t agree to respect
each other’s viewing habits
without being judgmental, you
should find other roommates

The translation of this Latin is

ron you’ll master today as you

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
honeybee can make life sweetly
pleasurable with honey or
sharply painful with a poisonous
sting. With bees and people,
much depends on your aware-
ness and approach.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
To make a desired impression,
you first must be sure you’re
present in that moment. You’ll
do this with your advanced
awareness of timing and your
ability to adjust your internal
clock to another person’s
pacing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Physical strength varies with
age and other circumstances.
Moral strength is far less vulner-
able to the influence of time,
can be continually developed
at every point of life and always
matters more in the end.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). If you can’t get yourself to
comply with your own directives,
try taking on the responsibility
of leading others. Social expec-
tation is a strong motivational
factor.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). When you think about the
icons of cool in the movies, they
are people who don’t seem to
be in any kind of hurry. You’re
like such an icon today as you
let time do its work.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Long talks are bonding
if you have the time but can
feel like a trap if you don’t.
Set a 50-minute limit. Most of
what needs to be said will be ex-
pressed, and if it’s not enough,
you can always come back later
for more.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You love in different ways
depending on what’s needed
and what you think you can give.
You don’t always need to pick
the other person up emotionally
in order to be helpful. Some-
times it’s better to lie low and
listen.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). What started as an
interesting group of strangers is
now becoming more of a unified
group of like-minded people,
maybe even a loose group of
friends. Keep attending. This is
just starting to get good.

Pumpkins
Continued from Page 5B
Halloween is what you
make it, and for my fami-
ly, it was and is a time for
kids to enjoy the fun of
dressing up as a charac-
ter and trick-or-treating
in a known neighbor-
hood or at one of the
many trunk-or-treats or
fall festivals held in the
Golden Triangle. For
older revelers, it’s an
opportunity for costume
parties and the thrill of a
good scare.
It is also, at my house,
a chance to bring on the
pumpkins (and gourds,
chrysanthemums and
pansies). Every year, it’s
fun to seek out decora-
tive pumpkin ideas that
free me from any carv-
ing and gooey innards.
There are plenty that will
carry your porch, table-
top or mantel on through
November to Thanks-
giving. They range from
simple to quite elaborate.
I confess, I love white-
skinned pumpkins, and
that’s another reason

I could get there. But
hey, there’s always spray

and craft beading and

enjoy using pumpkins as

and a sharpie. At the top
