‘Fact-finders and decision-makers’

Voters will choose judges ruling
on family issues in Nov. 6 election
By Slim Smith
ssmith@cdispatch.com
Mississippi Secretary of
State Delbert Hosemann has
been on the road since Labor
Day in his effort to encourage
citizens to vote in the Nov. 6
general election. The ballot will
include a rarity — both of Mis-
sissippi’s U.S. Senate seats are
up for grabs — along with three
seats in the U.S. House of Rep-
resentatives.
But, some of the most import-
ant seats on the ballot are for lo-
cal offices, especially chancery
court judgeships, including all
three posts in District 14, which
encompasses all of the Golden
Triangle along with Webster
and Chickasaw counties.
“The thing about those
Hosemann Davidson
chancery judge races is they
affect everybody who dies or
gets a divorce,” Hosemann said
Thursday. “Everybody’s on
one of those lists and, the last
time I checked, half of us are
on the other. Those races don’t
get a lot of attention, but I’d say
they’re pretty important.”
In District 14, chancery
court judges Dorothy Colom
(24 years on the bench in Place
3), Kenneth Burns (16 years,
Place 1) and Jim Davidson (12
years, Place 2) all are retiring.
Ten candidates are competing
for those three seats.
Davidson admits most peo-
ple aren’t all that aware of the
job a chancery judge performs.
“Chancery court is what is
called a court of equity,” Da-
vidson said. “We are charged
with arriving at a fair and eq-
uitable decision. Unlike, say,
a circuit court judge, we are
both the fact-finders and the
decision-makers. There’s no
black-letter law that says what
our decision has to be. We don’t
have juries. We are entrusted
with reaching the decision.”
Burns said chancery court
deals primarily with family is-
sues and disputes.
“Chancery court involves
anything involving a family,”

Mississippi casino revenue rises as sports betting begins

Gamblers lost $181M statewide in August
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Overall casino
revenue rose sharply in Missis-
sippi in August with the start of
sports betting in the state.
State revenue department
figures released Thursday
show gamblers lost $181 mil-
lion statewide in August, up 8
percent from $168 million in
August 2017.
Only $645,000 of the amount
lost was on sports wagers,
though, with $7.7 million in
bets placed in the first month of
sports wagering in Mississippi.
Casino executives and reg-
ulators hope the lure of sports
betting will mean more money
lost on other casino games and
more gamblers staying in casi-
no hotels and eating in restau-
rants. After September is over,
Mississippi Gaming Commis-
sion Deputy Director Jay Mc-
Daniel said the commission
plans analyze whether sports
betting is creating increases
in other revenue, and by how
much.
The figures for September
will be bigger, as football sea-
son gets into full swing. Mc-
Daniel said that through Sept.
19, bettors wagered $17.8 mil-
lion, suggesting the total will
be between $25 million and $30
million for the month. Over the
long term, Jacobs said officials
expect casinos to win 6 percent
to 7 percent of what is wagered.
A May U.S. Supreme Court
decision allowed states nation-
wide to join Nevada in legaliz-
ing sports betting. Delaware,
Mississippi, New Jersey and
West Virginia all now allow bet-
ting.

Burns said. “When you
talk about anything, that
is related to divorce, al-
imony, child support,
adoptions, wills and es-
tates and real estate mat-
ters. That’s most of what
we do as chancery judg-
es.”
Although the work of
the chancery judge is not
a high-profile job — most
judges’ names are rarely
in the media — their work
affects more lives than
that of other judges.
“You could make a
pretty good argument
that what we do affects
more people and for a lot
longer time than any oth-
er court,” Davidson said.
“Just take a child custo-
dy case. The decision we
make doesn’t just affect
that child on the day we
rule. It affects that child
for the rest of his or her
life. The same is true for
the child’s family. It has a
lifetime impact.”
The qualities
of a good candidate
Given the importance
of their work, Burns and
Davidson said voters
should try to get as much
information as they can
about the candidates.
For Colom, the ideal
candidate should em-
body three qualities she
learned while attending

“The minister quoted
a passage from the Bible
and I wrote it down and
I’ve kept it with me all
these years,” she said. “It
was, ‘Do justice, love mer-
cy and walk humbly’ (Mi-
cah 6:8).”
For Colom “do justice”
means doing what the law
requires and doing the
right thing based on the
law. But it goes beyond
that, she said.
“In some of these cas-
es we have a lot of discre-
tion,’’ she said.
Courtesy image
To “love mercy” as a
judge means being under-
standing, she said.
“A lot of the people
that come before us don’t
know what to expect,”
she said. “Often, they are
scared. You have to be un-
derstanding of them.”
Colom said that under-
standing should also be
extended to the attorneys
who present cases as well
as staff — everyone from
court reporters, to chan-
cery clerks, bailiffs and
others.

ty, communicate clearly

“Someone who does
those three things, that’s
the kind of person who
would be a good judge,”
she added.
Burns said remember-
ing the proper role of the
judge is also important.
“I’d look for someone

law, be respectful to peo-

Burns said. “It’s the peo-

and knowing how to han-

fairly as you can, that’s
what matters. You have

equitable.”
Voting
In the Golden Trian-
gle, voters will have one
chancery court race on
their ballot, depending
on where they live in the
district.
All chancery judge
elections are non-parti-
san, meaning that candi-
dates do not run as rep-
resentatives of a political
party.
Voters in the western
half of Oktibbeha Coun-
ty and all of Webster and
Chickasaw counties will
vote for District 14, Place
1 chancery judge. Voters
in parts of Lowndes and
Clay counties will vote for
the Place 2 judge seat and
voters in Noxubee County
and parts of Lowndes and

the Place 3 position.

“You can be pulled

The deadline to regis-

The Nation

On Kavanaugh, does the Senate want the truth?

How would the
Senate proceed if
its highest priority
were establishing
the truth? That
objective should
be paramount with
regard to the alle-
gation that Brett
Kavanaugh, at age
17, tried to rape a
15-year-old girl.
Getting the truth Steve Chapman
is the most import-
ant thing for Christine Blasey
Ford, the alleged victim, but
also for Kavanaugh.
Unless, of course, he is
guilty. In that case, the best
outcome for the nominee
is a quick, minimal inquiry
that lets him skate past the
charges and onto the Supreme R-S.C., said, “I’ll listen to
Court. The way Senate Repub- the lady, but we’re going to
licans are handling the matter
suggests they are afraid of
what they will learn if the
digging goes too deep.
Would Democrats prefer
to delay his confirmation vote
in hopes of gaining seats in
the Senate in November? Of
course. Would Republicans
prefer to vote sooner in case
they lose control of the cham-
ber? Sure. In a po-
litical environment,
political motives
are inevitable.
But how would
Republicans behave
if such accusations
had surfaced about
a nominee chosen
by a Democratic
president? It’s hard
to say they would
favor a speedy
resolution. They
postponed the vote on Barack
Obama’s nominee, Merrick
Garland, who was accused of
no crime, until the twelfth of
never.
With Ford, they have been
models of chilly condescen-
sion. Sen. Lindsey Graham,
bring this to a close.” As for
Ford’s request to postpone her
appearance until the FBI can
investigate, Sen. John Cornyn,
R-Texas, scoffed that she is
“not really in a position to
make conditions.”
Judiciary Committee Chair-
man Chuck Grassley insists
on hearing from her Monday.
“Nothing the FBI or any inves-
tigator does would have any
bearing on what Dr. Ford tells
the committee, so there is no
reason for any further delay,”
he said.
Really? Any evidence
unearthed by an investigation
would have a bearing on what
questions she is asked, what
answers she might give, and
how the senators assess her
veracity.
Politics aside, what is the
rush when the allegations
are so grave? Yes, the alleged
episode involved adolescents,
but we’re not talking about
popping a bra strap. We’re
talking about a claim that Ka-
vanaugh tried to violently rape
a 15-year-old girl and, had she
not resisted, would have raped
her. But his defenders show a
bizarre lack of curiosity about
whether the attack happened
and a desire to minimize it if
it did.
A full investigation could
yield details that could be
examined to assess the cred-
ibility of Ford’s account and
Kavanaugh’s denial. It could
elicit information from Mark
Judge, the Kavanaugh friend
she says was present during
the attack, who, his lawyer
says, “does not wish to speak
publicly regarding the inci-
dents described in Dr. Ford’s
letter.” An unhurried timeta-
ble would also allow time for
any other professed victims to
come forward.
But Sen. Orrin Hatch,
R-Utah, indicated the accu-
sation was irrelevant. “If that
was true, I think it would be
hard for senators to not con-
sider who the judge is today”
— which, Hatch attested, is “a
really good man.”
In an op-ed in The Wall
Street Journal, Lance Morrow,
a fellow at the conservative
Ethics and Public Policy Cen-
ter, put an intellectual gloss
on this approach. If the attack
occurred, he argued with
majestic serenity, it doesn’t
really matter, because it
happened long ago “under the
blurring influence of alcohol
and adolescent hormones. No
clothes were removed, and no
sexual penetration occurred.
The sin, if there was one, was
not one of those that Catholic
theology calls peccata claman-
tia — sins that cry to heaven
for vengeance.”
I’ll let Catholic theologians
to make that call. But no one
is calling for vengeance. The
worst Kavanaugh may endure
is being denied a coveted job
promotion.
His supporters act as
though he deserves confirma-
tion unless he can be proven
guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt. But the standard that
applies for sending someone
to prison is higher than the
standard for sending some-
one to the Supreme Court.
Douglas Ginsburg had to
withdraw in 1987 because he
had smoked marijuana, which
even then was considered less
serious than rape.
The Senate should spare no
time or effort to get as close to
the truth as possible, and let
the chips fall where they may.
For an innocent man to be
denied a seat on the Supreme
Court would be a shame. For
a guilty one to be confirmed
would be a crime.

Rising oil prices haven’t hurt economy so far

AAA: National average price for
gasoline stood at $2.85 per gallon,
up 10 percent from a year ago
By DAVID KOENIG
AP Business Writer
DALLAS — America’s
rediscovered prowess in
oil production is shaking
up old notions about the
impact of higher crude
prices on the U.S. econo-
my.
It has long been con-
ventional wisdom that
rising oil prices hurt the
economy by forcing con-
sumers to spend more on
gasoline and heating their
homes, leaving less for
other things.
Presumably that kind
of run-up would slow the
U.S. economy. Instead,
the economy grew at its
fastest rate in nearly four
years during the April-
through-June quarter.
President Donald
Trump appears plainly
worried about rising oil
prices just a few weeks
before midterm elections
that will decide which par-
ty controls the House and
Senate.
“We protect the coun-
tries of the Middle East,
they would not be safe for
very long without us, and
yet they continue to push
for higher and higher oil
prices!” Trump tweeted
on Thursday. “We will
remember. The OPEC
monopoly must get prices
$2.85 per gallon, up 10 per-
cent from a year ago, ac-
cording to auto club AAA.
That increase likely would
be greater were it not for a

Dow Jones hits another all-time

high on mixed day for US stocks
Losses for tech companies, retailers
offset gains in energy, industrial stocks
By ALEX VEIGA
AP Business Writer
Wall Street capped a
milestone-setting week
Friday with a mixed finish
for the major U.S. stock
indexes and the second all-
time high in two days for
the Dow Jones Industrial
Average.
An afternoon sell-off
erased modest gains for
the S&P 500 that had the
benchmark index on track
to eke out its own record
high for much of the day.
Losses for technology
companies and retailers,
two of the market’s hottest
sectors this year, offset
gains in energy and indus-
trial stocks.
“When you have a big
up week like we’ve had,
we’re at all-time highs, for
people to take a little bit
of risk off the table going
into the weekend isn’t a
big surprise,” said Randy
Frederick, vice president
of trading and derivatives
at Charles Schwab.
The S&P 500 index
dropped 1.08 points, or
0.04 percent, to 2,929.67,
just under its latest all-time
high set a day earlier. The
Dow gained 86.52 points,
or 0.3 percent, to 26,743.50,
thanks largely to gains in
Boeing and McDonald’s.
The Nasdaq composite
lost 41.28 points, or 0.5 per-
cent, to 7,986.96. The Rus-
sell 2000 index of smaller
companies gave up 7.87
points, or 0.5 percent, to
1,712.32.

Job fair
Continued from Page 1A
Saturday’s job fair
is the first for the West
Point/Brooksville area,
Townsend said. For now,
the company is looking
to hire workers for the
refrigerated warehouse
on the facility, which is
expected to be in oper-
ation by November or
December. A partial fry
plant that will employ sig-
nificantly more people is
expected to open by De-
cember of next year.
“Right now ... we’re
looking for 30-40 mem-
bers for the warehouse
that we’re ready to hire,”
Townsend said. “For the
(partial-fry) plant, that’s
where the number grows
to that 300 number.”
Townsend said Peco’s
jobs will pay an average
of $17 per hour.
Peco Foods an-
nounced its facility — a
$40 million investment
— with the Golden Trian-
gle Development LINK
and Gov. Phil Bryant’s
office in early May. The
new Peco location, which
will have workers prepar-
ing and freezing chicken
products, will be located
at the former Americold
freezer facility on West
Church Hill Road — a
185,000 square-foot fa-
cility on 37 acres. It was
announced at the time
that the project has re-
ceived $3 million in state
funding to help with roof
repairs and worker train-
ing.
In the months since
then, Townsend said, it’s
been easy to see the com-
munity’s hunger for jobs
at the plant.
“I’ve been on site since
May 21,” Townsend said,
“and I will say there’s not
a day that goes by that
someone doesn’t swing
by the building to say,
‘Where do I start at?
When can I start?’ I think
the interest level right
now is awesome.
“Being that Americold
and Bryan Foods shut
down, it’s giving us a lot
of opportunities to bring
people back to West
Point,” he added.
Mitzi Thompson, di-
rector of EMCC’s West
Point Center, said the
college has seen a tre-
mendous amount of in-
terest in the jobs Peco
will offer. She added the
job fair, and the number
of companies coming to
the Golden Triangle, are
a validation of the work
the college has done on
workforce development.
“It’s just another feath-
er in our hat here in the
Golden Triangle area,
that people believe we
have what it takes to have
a good workforce,” she
said. “There are people
in our area that are hun-
gry for jobs.”
Applicant reactions
Laduante Hodges was
one of the hundreds of
people who turned out
for the job fair on Satur-
day. Hodges, who is from
Prairie and currently
works for Cooper Tire
in Tupelo, said he heard
about the job fair through
a friend and wanted to ap-
ply to be a forklift opera-
tor with Peco.
He said he hopes to
get a job with a more con-
sistent schedule than his
current one, which sees
him working two-week
blocks of day shifts, then
two weeks of night shifts.
“I’m trying to get
away from that and do
something steady — a
straight, steady night
shift or a day shift,” he
said. “I’m just trying to
do something to better
myself so I can be home
with my family more of-
ten.”
Hodges said he
thought it was good to
see so many people out at
the job fair, even though
they’d be competing with
him for jobs.
“It’s good to see them
trying to better them-
selves,” he said. “It’s a lot
of competition but, you
know, I’m not worried
about that. My record is
going to speak for itself.”
Khadijah Harrison,
from West Point, learned
about the job fair from
her sister, who shared
a Facebook screenshot
with her.
“I’m already working
in Tupelo,” Harrison said.
“I’m just trying to find
something
closer to
home.”
Dominic
Henn, of
St a rk v ille,
had com-
pleted his Henn
inter v iew
with Peco by midday.
Henn is an EMCC stu-
dent studying electric
technology, and applied
for a maintenance tech-
nician position. He’s hop-
ing to set himself up for
work before he graduates
in December.
“It was my first in-
terview ever,” he said.
“So I’m a little shot on
nerves, but I think it went
well. ...I’ll be graduating
in December, so any-
thing I can do to kind of
secure my future before
that graduation would be
really nice.”

Ceremony to honor
craft center renaming
for late governor
RIDGELAND — The
state is naming a building
for late Mississippi Gov.
Bill Waller Sr., but it’s not
in downtown Jackson.
Instead, a ceremony on
Saturday will honor the re-
naming of the Mississippi
Craft Center in Ridgeland
for Waller, governor from
1972 to 1976.
Legislators passed a
bill this year naming the
building for Waller, who
died in 2011.
A supporter of Missis-
sippi-made crafts, Waller
named the first director
of the Craftsmen’s Guild
of Mississippi in 1973.
The guild now operates in
the state-owned building
opened near the Natchez
Trace in 2007.
Waller’s only daughter,
an artist named Gloria,
died in 1981.
Survivors include four
sons, Mississippi Su-
preme Court Chief Justice
Bill Waller Jr., Robert O.
Waller, Edward C. Waller
and Donald E. Waller, all
of Jackson.

improve water service
at industrial park
CORINTH — The U.S.
Department of Commerce
is awarding $1.5 million to
a northeast Mississippi
city to improve water ser-

The department’s Eco-
nomic Development Ad-
ministration said Friday
that the city of Corinth
will use the money to ex-
tend a large water main at
the Northeast Mississip-
pi Waterfront Industrial
Park.
The park is along the
Tennessee Tombigbee
Waterway in Burnsville,
east of Corinth. Federal
officials say the improved
water service is project-
ed to attract 250 jobs and
$158 million in private in-
vestment.
The park is owned by

thority and includes 907
acres with a barge dock
and a planned railroad
spur.

bulldogs suffer Bluegrass beatdown

bhudson@cdispatch.com
LEXINGTON, Ky — Missis-
sippi State football coach Joe
Moorhead says teams can’t ac-
cept in victory what they don’t
accept in defeat.
In the general sense, it’s a
quote about standards and liv-
ing up to the ones you set for
yourself
In the practical sense — in
the context Moorhead was us-
ing it — he was talking about
penalties. He wanted to stop an
annoying problem before it be-
came a lethal one.
The performance No. 14
MSU delivered Saturday in
committing 16 penalties for 139
yards in a 28-7 loss to Kentucky
showed why Moorhead wanted
to get ahead of it.
“Very disappointed in our
performance tonight and the
first thumb comes at me,” said
Moorhead, whose team slipped
to 3-1 and 0-1 in the Southeast-
ern Conference. “Ultimately
I’m responsible for the product
we put on the field. We talked
all week about the things that
are going to be necessary for
us to win the game, and that’s
toughness. The second word

was composure, third was ef-
fort, and fourth was precision.
“I thought we played hard
and I thought we played phys-
ical. By the penalties, 16, a
number of them pre-possession
and post-possession. Those are
things you can’t do and win a
football game.”
Moorhead referenced the
four unsportsmanlike conduct
calls — three on the defense
that gave Kentucky first downs
— and a roughing the passer
call.
Only one of those defensive
penalties was part of a Ken-
tucky scoring drive. On the
other side of the ball, the penal-
ties took scoring chances away.
An unsportsmanlike conduct
penalty negated momentum on
MSU’s first drive. A false start
negated a 9-yard gain on first
down of the second possession.
After scoring its only touch-
down on the third possession
despite two penalties, a false
start doomed its fifth posses-
sion and forced the Bulldogs to
punt.
All but two of MSU’s 11 pen-
alties were false starts, delay of
game, or an illegal formation.
“It felt like we were constant-
ly behind the sticks, fighting an
uphill battle on offense,” MSU
quarterback Nick Fitzgerald
said.

OXFORD — Jordan Ta’amu threw
for 442 yards, two touchdowns and ran
for another score to lead the Ole Miss
football team to a 38-17 victory against
Kent State on Saturday.
Ole Miss (3-1) had some good mo-
ments, especially in the second half,
but struggled to shake the malaise
from its 62-7 loss to No. 1 Alabama last
week. The Rebels and Golden Flashes
went into halftime tied at 7.
The game had two delays for light-
ning, a 53-minute stoppage at the be-
ginning of the second half and another
1-hour, 43-minute delay in the fourth
quarter.

“We knew coming into this game
it would be a 60-minute dogfight, and

Ole Miss
Women’s soccer team will take on No. 9 Auburn
AUBURN, Ala. — The Ole Miss women’s soccer team will take
on No. 9 Auburn at 2 p.m. Sunday in a Southeastern Conference match.
Ole Miss (7-3, 1-1 SEC) is coming off a 2-0 loss to No. 19 Tennes-
see on Thursday. Auburn (9-0-1, 1-0-1) is coming off a 0-0 tie against
LSU on Thursday.
n Women’s cross country team wins, men’s team takes third
at Battle in Beantown: At Boston, the women’s cross country finished
first and the men’s team took third Friday at Boston College’s Battle in
Beantown.
The women’s team defeated all four ranked teams for the title
Even with All-Region runners Anna Braswell and Clio Ozanne-Jaques
sitting out, the women’s team, which received zero votes in the last
two national coaches polls by the USTFCCCA, took down four ranked
teams en route to a 102-105 victory over Georgia Tech.
“I was very pleased with how our women performed,” Ole Miss
associate head coach Ryan Vanhoy said. “They ran well together and
executed our race plan well enough to get the victory over a competitive
field.”
Redshirt freshman Lisa Vogelgesang (10th, 17 minutes, 33.5
seconds) and sophomore Maddie King (11th, 17:34.0) led the way.
This was the first-career cross country race for Vogelgesang, who
last outdoor season won a silver medal in the Southeastern Confer-
ence’s 3,000-meter steeplechase as a freshman. She also competed
for her native Germany in the IAAF World Under-20 Championships
during the summer.
Ylvi Traxler finished 23rd (17:48.9). Victoria Simmons (25th,
17:50.3), Maddie McHugh (33rd, 17:54.2), Nicole Rice (35th, 17:56.1),
and Courtney Hopkins (39th, 17:59.8) rounded out the competitors.
The No. 30 men’s team scored 77 points behind No. 10 Syracuse
(37) and No. 26 Washington (70). It defeated No. 17 Virginia (fourth,
98), North Carolina (fifth, 153) and No. 12 Campbell (sixth, 189) in the
process.
“The men had a solid showing, but were perhaps a bit too impatient
in the early stages of the race, which cost us a bit over the last two
kilometers,” Vanhoy said. “It was a good learning experience for our
younger guys, and I know we will continue to improve over the course
of the season. All things considered, this was a good starting point for
our men’s team.”
Farah Abdulkarim finished fourth in the 8-Kilometer (24:08.5).
Sophomore and All-Region runner Waleed Suliman took 10th (24:17.5).
Mark Robertson (14th, 24:28.2), Michael Coccia (21st, 24:37.0), and
Mario Garcia Romo (28th, 24:50.9) rounded out the scorers.

Crawford, Cork help West Lowndes earn region win
From Special Reports
VARADAMAN — The
West Lowndes High School
football team made it back-
to-back wins in Mississippi
High School Activities Asso-
ciation (MHSAA) Class 1A,
Region 3 play Friday with
a 40-26 win against Varda-
man.
“Before the game, we told
the kids we had to win four
of the final six to make the
playoffs,” West Lowndes
coach Anthony King said.
“Now, it’s three out of five,
so that’s huge. We have the
three undefeated teams
coming to us later on in the
season, so we have a chance
to earn our way into the play-
offs.”
King said the play of Mel-
vin Crawford and Ki’Kwon
Cork were keys to the victo-
ry for the Panthers (2-4, 2-1).
The duo hooked up for three
passing touchdowns.
“They had us outmanned
on the defensive line, so we
were going to have to throw
the ball to have any chance
to win,” King said. “They
were going to key in on Quay
Sanders, and he’s such a big
part of our offense. (Sand-
ers) wasn’t feeling well, ei-
ther, so that meant we had
to throw the ball to have any
success. Melvin had a great
game leading the offense.”
Jermaine Williams and
Sanders scored the other
touchdowns for the Panthers.
Vardaman led 20-14 at
halftime.
n Starkville Academy 28, Winston
Academy 2: At Louisville, the Volunteers
opened the Mississippi Association of Indepen-
dent Schools (MAIS) Class AAA, District 1 part
of their schedule with a road win.
“Anytime you get a district win, it’s a good
night,” Starkville Academy coach Chase Nich-
olson said. “Fortunate to get the first one. The
defense is playing with a chip on their shoulder.
They are trying to get better each week.
“They continue to work hard and continue
to get better.”
Starkville Academy (6-0, 1-0) didn’t allow
any points by the opposing team’s offense for
the sixth time this season.
The Volunteers built a 14-0 halftime lead
thanks to a 9-yard run by Garrett Lewis and
6-yard run by Taylor Arnold.
In the second half, Lewis threw a 5-yard
touchdown pass to Nason Heflin before scoring
on a 1-yard run.
Arnold had 14 rushes for 106 yards. Lewis
was 7-for-18 for 108 yards.
“We had several guys who made some
big plays on offense,” Nicholson said. “We
hadn’t had a touchdown reception in a couple
of weeks, so it was good to see that. We had
several receivers catch the ball well and the of-
fensive line had a good night blocking.”
Winston Academy (2-4, 0-1) had only 17
yards and four first downs.
n Victory Christian Academy 68, New
Life 44: At Millbrook, Alabama, the Eagles (4-
1) built a 32-point halftime lead and then held
on after allowing 32 points in the third quarter in
their Christian Football Association victory.
Victory Christian (2-1 in CFA) regrouped by
scoring 22 points in the fourth quarter to seal
its second-straight conference win despite not
playing with senior Preston Kinard.
Dallas Colom had 17 carries for 128 yards
and two touchdowns. Chris McDonald had 16
carries for 69 yards and a touchdown. Kenny
Collier also rushed for a score.
Brandon Moore was 8-for-11 for 168 yards
and four touchdowns (one interception). Collier
led the way with four catches for 105 yards and
three touchdowns. McDonald had three catch-
es for 64 yards and a touchdown.
Colom also had a 30-yard interception re-
turn for a touchdown.
McDonald led the way with 10 solo tackles,
two assisted tackles, and three for loss. Michael
Tate had five solo tackles, four assisted tackles,
and four for loss.
Victory Christian will play archrival Tusca-
loosa Christian at 7 p.m. Friday in another CFA
game.
n Oak Hill Academy 10, Wayne
Academy 6: At West Point, Ash Cullum scored
on a 2-yard quarterback sneak in the fourth
quarter Friday night to help lift the Raiders in
their non-district matchup.
“It was a great team effort,” Oak Hill Acad-
emy coach Chris Craven said. “Our guys played
their hearts out. We got some guys back hadn’t
been playing with because of sickness of injury.
Ethan Bryan and Tyler Oswalt were back, a few
others hurt trying to get back, but in the mean-
time working with who we have and trying to get
some guys to step up, and we have.
Jonah Caskey had a team-high 79 yards
rushing. Cullum was 11-for-17 for 107 yards with
an interception.
Wayne Academy (3-4) scored on the
game’s first possession when Jacob Castle hit
Austin West on a 57-yard touchdown.
Senior Grayson Easterling added a 48-
yard field goal to help the Raiders (3-3) snap a
three-game losing streak on Homecoming.
Easterling also had three touchbacks and
four punts for an average of 37 yards, including
two inside the 20-yard line. He contributed on
special teams with a 14-yard gain for a first
down off a fake punt. He added one catch for
21 yards.
Craven said Ethan Bryan returned from
missing last week’s game with a concussion
and ran the ball well. He said Jonah Caskey
ran the Wildcat package well and mixed it up
with Cullum at quarterback. Caskey added an
interception at safety. The defense also had a
fumble recovery. Oak Hill Academy didn’t com-
mit a turnover.
“I felt like we played as a team,” said Cra-
ven, who also praised the role of the freshmen
who played extended minutes. “We didn’t score
until later on, and even when we got our first
points it was only three, so we were behind
the whole game. It was a good team effort. We
didn’t get down. There was adversity against a
AAA school.
“It was a great team effort. It was really what
a coach wants. The way we talk about it have to
stick together and play like a family. They did all
of those things together in this game.”
Oak Hill Academy will travel to Steens next
week to take on Columbus Christian Academy
at 7 p.m. Friday.
n West Monroe (Louisiana) 30, Noxu-
bee County 9: At West Monroe, Louisiana, the
Tigers fell in an out-of-state matchup.

ter and Khristopher White found Keymarcus
Jackson for a 60-yard touchdown in the fourth
quarter.
West Monroe (4-0) led 9-3 at halftime.
n Itawamba AHS 26, Aberdeen 8: At
Aberdeen, the Bulldogs scored first on a Fred
Fields rushing touchdown but couldn’t make
that early lead hold up in the final non-region
game of the season.
Itawamba AHS (4-2) scored a touchdown
apiece in each of the first two quarters for a 12-6
halftime lead.
Aberdeen fell to 3-3.

responded with two lengthy
offensive drives that added
10 points and gave it a com-
fortable advantage.
“We finished well in the
second half. It looked more
like it was supposed to
look,” Ole Miss coach Matt
Luke said. “Guys started
making some plays. Over-
all, just pleased we were
able to get a big win and a
bounce-back win.”
Barrett was 24-for-42
for 224 yards and an in-
terception. He also ran
for 53 yards, including the
2-yard touchdown.
Ole Miss got off to a
decent start when Ta’amu
threw a short swing pass
to Scottie Phillips, who
ran for a 38-yard touch-
down and a 7-0 lead. But
then the Rebels’ offense
went cold. The usual long
passes from Ta’amu to his
talented receivers weren’t
connecting and the run-
ning game wasn’t able to
offset that problem. The
Rebels’ struggles on of-
fense kept the Golden
Flashes in the game, but
they weren’t able to totally
capitalize.
Kent State had 264
yards in the first half, but
it had only one touchdown
on a Barrett lateral to Ka-
vious Price, who threw for
an 18-yard touchdown to a
wide open Jo-El Shaw.
“I told our bunch that
we are 1-3, but we’re better
than 1-3,” Kent State coach
Sean Lewis said. “Our play-
ers have proven they keep
living in the moment and
the Power Five stages aren’t
too big for us.”
Ole Miss’ D.K. Metcalf
caught five passes for 102
yards, including a stun-
ning one-handed catch on
a 41-yard touchdown. A.J.
Brown caught seven pass-
es for 96 yards.

dogfight, but that’s more
than other Tide oppo-
nents have mustered.
Tagovailoa passed for
387 yards and four touch-
downs and ran for anoth-
er score for the Tide in its
first test against a ranked
team. Kellen Mond and
the Aggies (2-2, 0-1)
couldn’t put up nearly the
fight they had in a 28-26
loss to No. 3 Clemson.
Tagovailoa was 22-for-
30 before leaving after
Henry Ruggs III took a
shuttle pass 57 yards for
a score late in the third.
He hit tight end Hale
Hentges for two more
scores. Hentges had only
one catch in the first
three games and said he
hadn’t had a two-touch-
down game since his high
school finale.
“I never dreamed of
getting two,” he said. “I
always thought about just
getting one.”
Stan Beall/Special to The Dispatch
Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown, a former standout at
Starkville High School, had seven catches for 96 yards
in a 38-17 victory.
Stan Beall/Special to The Dispatch
Ole Miss defensive back Jerry Johnson makes a
tackle for loss in a 38-17 victory against Kent State at
Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford.
Harris didn’t get many
touches but had a 35-yard
run and a 52-yard catch.
“We were fortunate
that we made a lot of big
plays on offense,” Tide
coach Nick Saban said.
“We really threw the ball
effectively and scored a
lot of points, but we really
didn’t control the game.
We didn’t control the line
of scrimmage. We strug-
gled to run the ball offen-
sively with consistency.”
Mond was 16-for-33 for
196 yards with a touch-
down but was intercepted
twice, including on his
first throw. He collected
98 yards rushing despite
getting sacked seven
times.
The SEC’s top rusher,
Trayveon Williams, found
little room to run. He
gained 31 yards on eight
carries.
Texas A&M seemed
poised for a while to give
the Tide its first test of the
season. But Tagovailoa &
Co. scored 10 points in the
final 1 minute, 9 seconds
before halftime for a 31-13
lead.
Tagovailoa set up a
touchdown with a 52-yard
pass down the right side-
line to Harris. Then fresh-
man cornerback Patrick
Surtain Jr. intercepted
Mond’s deep ball and the
Tide drove for a field goal.
Texas A&M coach Jim-
bo Fisher was impressed
with Tagovailoa and his
supporting cast.
“He’s good. I mean he’s
good,” Fisher said. “He’s
got good people around
him. I mean he’s got really
good people around him,
and we tried to pressure
him and he scrambled
and they’ve got a good
scheme, and they did a
good job. He was very ef-
fective at what he did, and
we’ve got to play better.”

olumbus’ annual
Art Walk Down-
town, set for
Thursday from 5:30-7:30
p.m., has again earned
recognition as a Top 20
Event in the Southeast by
the Southeast Tourism
Society. The sixth annual
Art Walk is a partnership
of Main Street Columbus
and the Columbus Arts
Council, designed to
showcase some of the
diversity and quality of
original art available in
the community.
The event began with
local artists paired with
downtown business
owners; artwork was
displayed inside stores.
In the years since, it has
grown to also feature art-
ists and local musicians
lining the sidewalks, as
well as in Leadership
Plaza at the corner of
Fifth Street South and
College Street. Residents
and visitors alike get the
opportunity to purchase
art, meet and talk with
the artists, take advan-
tage of in-store discounts
and promotions and enjoy
music in the streets.
“It is truly great to see
every medium of paint-
ings displayed, as well as
sculpture art, glasswork,
photography, fine jewelry
and much more,” said
Main Street Columbus
Executive Director Bar-
bara Bigelow. “We enjoy
partnering with the Co-
lumbus Arts Council each
year so that this fabulous
community event can
take place in our historic
downtown area.”
Visitors to Columbus’ Art Walk Downtown 2017 talk
with artists displaying their work outside and inside
participating businesses.
Twenty businesses
and more than 35 artists
are slated to participate
Thursday. Bring cash or
checks to make purchas-
es from artists, no credit
cards.
Rae’s Jewelry owner
Pete Elmore on Fifth
Street South looks for-
ward to the festive event.
Rae’s will host stained
glass artist Jane Craw-
ford inside the store.
“Absolutely, we like
to have lots of people in
the store,” Elmore said.
“It’s kind of like a party;
people come in, some
know the artist, they chat
and look at everything.”
The Art Walk can bring a
whole different group of
people into various busi-
nesses, added Elmore,
who has owned Rae’s for
18 years.
Columbus Arts Coun-
cil Program Manager
Beverly Norris said, “It’s
wonderful to see folks
of all ages out enjoying
themselves, visiting
downtown shops and get-
ting exposed to original
art and great music all at
the same time. Columbus
has really come together

A
mythical Greek king will
fulfill a tragic prophecy
when the Shackouls
Honors College presents
“Oedipus,” by Sophocles, at 6
p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday
in the Griffis Hall Courtyard at
Mississippi State. The public is
invited to bring lawn chairs or
blankets, and picnic dinners,
if desired, for the free outdoor
play which is part of Classical
Week 2018
“This is the seventh year
Shackouls Honors College has
sponsored Classical Week,
which seeks to enhance the
Classics between and among
departments, colleges and
communities through lectures,
film, art displays and theater
performances,” said Professor
and Senior Faculty Fellow
Donna Clevinger, who directs
the play.
The open air performances
are produced not only as enter-
tainment but also as a catalyst
for a new lecture program, The
Orators. The first lecture is

In dappled sunlight in the Griffis Hall Courtyard at Mississippi State, Shackhouls Honors College
students rehearse Wednesday for “Oedipus.” From left are Sinclair Keyes of Orlando, Florida, Ryan
Jarratt of Vicksburg and Norman Hunter IV of Marion.
ty’s Norma Thompson, senior
lecturer in the humanities
and director of undergraduate
studies, humanities major, will
speak on “A Look from the
Past.” The lecture program’s
overall theme is “Who Am I
Anyway?”
Twenty-two students com-
prise the “Oedipus” cast and
staff. Auditions were held the
first week of classes.
“With this come 22 class
schedules to work around, in-
cluding a high school student’s
football games,” Clevinger
said. “Somehow it is all work-
ing out, and the public will be
treated to an enjoyable evening
of entertainment.”
Joseph Rutherford, an MSU
freshman from New Albany,
portrays the title character.
“It’s very challenging to do
Courtesy photo
it at the start of the semester;
it’s definitely practicing time
management skills,” said Ruth-
erford, who is taking a 20-hour
class load.
Rutherford recognizes some
similarities between himself
and the fictional king.
“We both are devoted to
the people that we’re trying to
serve, the people we love, and
we’ll do anything to make sure
things are done right,” he said.
But when Oedipus discovers
painful secrets, his anger
becomes consuming.
“The hardest thing to mas-
ter with him is his emotions,”
Rutherford said. “Oedipus
takes out his pain and anger on
himself and he unleashes it on
everybody.”
Clevinger praised the com-
mitment of the cast and crew
who took on the challenge of a
play so early in the semester.
“Their positive attitude, the
sacrifices they have made to
participate in the show and the
sincere caring for each other
have made these young men
and women some of the best I
have worked with at the honors
college,” she said. “I did not
know any of them prior to au-
ditions, and now I have gotten
to know them as outstanding
individuals.”
For more information about
the play, call 662-325-2522.
The Griffis Hall Courtyard is
located in Zacharias Village on
the MSU campus. In case of
rain, the production will move
indoors.

and students share interpretations
and perspectives and engage in an
“intimate exchange of knowledge,”
which results in a “fuller under-
standing of the war and a greater
appreciation of MSU scholars’ roles

opportunity to discuss current
research with each other, other
scholars and graduate students,”
Barbier said.

Mississippi
gardens have

we horticulturists dread
getting, such as bad
weeds, sudden midsum-
mer “browning out” of
healthy-looking shrubs
or trees dropping old
limbs or leaking sap from sometimes a few at a
their trunks.
Both are usually
related to severe root or
lower trunk problems,
often having built up over just like the stuff aphids
several years. Azaleas,
Japanese hollies, roses,
Eleagnus, junipers and
other shrubs with weak
roots can’t take back to
back long wet and dry
spells, and often pop
their corks in midsum-
mer heat.
Older trees usually
have internal decay
caused by fungi that
get into interior wood
through broken limbs,
improper pruning cuts,
lightning, insect holes, or pink flamingos out from
even tiny cracks that oc-
cur during strong winds
and ice storms. Happens
to young trees damaged
by mowers or string

affected shrubs or trees
to die, and there’s not
much we can do except

Storytellers
Continued from Page 1C
But always, there’s great
entertainment value,
sometimes side-splitting
laughter and sometimes
very heartwarming, poi-
gnant stories that touch
your heart.”
Spellbound
“Sheila Kay Adams
is one grand storyteller;
she can
weave a
story and
have you
spellbound,”
said John
Davis of
Columbus,
who heard Davis
Adams at
the arts council’s first
Possum Town Tales event
in 2012. “One of the great
things is she is seriously
funny. All her stories are
relatable and sound like
something you would
tell or hear around the
kitchen table.”
Adams’ folksy spoken
art form draws from
her roots in Madison
County, North Carolina.
The seventh-generation
balladeer, storyteller
and claw-hammer banjo
player has been honored
many times over for her
devotion to the culture of
the Appalachian region.
She’s a recipient of the
2016 North Carolina Her-
itage Award as well as the
North Carolina Folklore
Society’s Brown-Hudson
Award, among others.
She’s been invited to
participate in multiple
Smithsonian Folklife Fes-
tivals, from the Bicenten-
nial festival in 1976 to the
event’s 50th anniversary
festival in 2017, where
she delivered the keynote
address at the Citizen-
ship Ceremony to some
of America’s newest and
youngest citizens.
Adams has recorded a
dozen albums, authored
two books and been in
films. She appears in —
and served as technical
advisor and singing
coach — in “Songcatch-
er” (2000) and also is
briefly in “The Last of the
Mohicans” (1992).
Her life, she said, has
been blessed in many
ways, including with
intense joy and intense
pain.
“Oddly enough, it was
during the times of in-
tense pain of tragic losses
that provided me the
most opportunity to grow
in my heart and soul,” she
has written. “It isn’t often
we get to rise from the
ashes with more strength
and stronger wings to fly
even higher ... ”
Like Davis, Marleen
Hansen of Columbus is a
fan. She will never forget
one particular story she
heard Adams once tell.
“It was about this
angel on a zipline in this
little town in North Caro-
lina. If she ever gets it on
tape, or written, I’ve got to
have a copy of it!” Hansen
declared.
CELEBRATING A CENTURY: Elvie Smith Mobley of
Starkville celebrates her 100th birthday today. She was
born in Starkville Sept. 23, 1918. The mother of 13
was married to Gamus Mobley for 73 years before his
death in 2009. She celebrated her milestone year with
her nine living children, her grandchildren, great-grand-
children, great-great grandchildren and other family and
friends in June in Cleveland, Tennessee. Her children
are Henry Mobley, Robert Mobley and James Mobley,
all of Chicago, Illinois; Lacy Allen of Cleveland, Ten-
nessee; Beatrice Beckum of Sandusky, Ohio; Henry
Lee Mobley and Charles Mobley of Starkville; Martha
Williams of Chattanooga, Tennessee; and Aree Tyson of
Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Southern Gardening

Use select perennials to expand container options

W
hen sum-
mer starts
to roll
around to autumn,
some gardens and
landscapes nearly
start all over, as
worn-out summer
annuals are com-
posted and new
seasonal selections
take their place.
Containers Gary Bachman
often take on whole
new looks, as annuals such as
petunias or million bells are re-
moved to make room for mums many landscape professionals
and other fall staples. But have
you ever tried mixing things
up and including perennials in
container gardens?
I think this important group
of plants should be an ingredi-
ent in every container recipe.
The problem is that many
gardeners have a strict rule
about mixing annuals and
perennials in containers: Never lines add interest. Tricolor Pen-
the twain shall meet. But if you nisetum, with its green, pink
base all your buying decisions
on whether a plant will come
back the next year, you miss
out on some beautiful options.
Perennials can add a whole
new dimension to your con-
tainer gardens if you follow the
thriller, filler and spiller for-
mula. For filler plants, choose
colorful leaves and strong
forms. Consider plants that
look good without
any flowers, such as
coral bells and cork-
screw rushes. Their
possible blooms are
an added bonus.
For your thriller
plants, try adding
height or color with
flowers. Most peren-
nials do not bloom
as long as annuals
do, so it is important
to swap out plants
as they fade.
Here’s a trade secret that
use to keep high visibility
areas looking good: Plant
the entire pot of your chosen
flowering perennial into your
combination planter. When the
perennial begins to fade, re-
move it from the buried pot and
replace it with a new plant.
Grasses make good thriller
plants because their vertical
and white variegations, makes
a great container choice. Or
choose the Mississippi Medal-
lion winner Gulf Coast muhly
grass for its blue-green leaves
and soft-pink blooms above the
foliage.
A good spiller perennial is
Ajuga or Lysimachia. Uncon-
tained, these two will run all
over your garden, but in a
A classic thriller, filler, spiller combination can make a container of
perennials stand out, like this mix of Heuchera Dolce Key Lime Pie
and Crème Brûlée; Hylotelephium Carl and Autumn Fire; Lysima-
chia Goldilocks; and Oenothera Lemon Drop.
container, they spill beautifully
over the edges.
So far, I’ve given examples
using only perennials in con-
tainers, but you can also com-
bine perennials and annuals in
the same container for the best
of both worlds.
The strong form of perenni-
als combined with the colorful
flowering of annuals is striking.
Perennials grow more slowly
than annuals, so be sure to
start with larger sizes of peren-
nials to keep the annuals from
smothering them.
Gary Bachman/MSU Extension Service
Timely container
Fall is a good time to make a
perennial combination con-
tainer. Soon, temperatures
will drop and plants that went
into survival mode during the
hot months will start to grow
again. Additionally, many gar-
den centers have fall sales to
inspire you to get creative.
If planting several peren-
nials seems too complicated,
then simply plant a single
perennial in a container.
A challenge when using
perennials is what to do at
the end of the season when
the plant does not look good,
but you know it will come
back next year. You can treat
perennials as annuals and put
them in a compost pile, or you
can plant them in an open spot
in the garden to overwinter. Be
sure to transplant them several
weeks before the first frost to
let the plants acclimate to their
new home.
Perhaps the simplest route
is to leave the container as
is and see what happens the
following spring. If you choose
this option and are using a
ceramic or terracotta container
outdoors, be sure to lay the
container on its side. This
allows any water that freezes to
expand without breaking the
container.
There are many possibilities
when growing perennials in
containers, so get creative and
try some different combina-
tions this fall.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(Sept. 23). Each month adds
a sparkle to your personal
life as your relationships get
increasingly aligned with your
true self. More highlights: A
pattern breaks, yielding to a
new one that better suits you.
An attentive partner accom-
panies your adventures. And
better self-care will include
a fascinating hobby. Scorpio
and Capricorn adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 8, 13, 20,
7 and 19.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Does it feel as if you’re
looking for something to
believe in? Start with you.
Believe in your breath, your
heart and your body, and go
from there. The more you can
embrace about yourself the
more powerful you’ll be.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Your attitude is more
important than any other
factor today. A winning attitude
makes you a winner, even if,
by the rules of the game you’re
playing, you technically lost.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your intuitive hunches will
guide you to do something that
probably won’t make complete
sense as you’re doing it but
will nonetheless bring tremen-
dous luck in the near future.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). When the whimsical Dr.
Seuss quipped that “there is
no one alive who is youer than
you,” he might as well have
written it specifically for the
version of you that you will
joyfully fulfill today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
When does achieving become
overachieving? And where is
the line between making peo-
ple happy and people-pleas-
ing? Be mindful of your drives.
Do it for you, not to be impres-
sive or loved.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Can you converse with the
naturally optimistic without
secretly thinking they’re just
not keen on what’s really going
on? Maybe. But it won’t hurt to
try it their way today. Actively
seek good news, and ignore
the rest for now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
People may seem willing to
do what you need them to do,
but willingness is not action.
Action is the test. If the task
isn’t crossed off the list by
tonight, assign it to someone
else tomorrow.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). We all have our own
emotional set point — a tone
in which we feel most comfort-
able. It would be futile to try to
brighten the mood of someone
who enjoys a muted state. Put
your energy where it will be
welcome.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Your thinking cannot
be controlled, but it can be
managed. You can distrust
and even ignore unwanted
and unhelpful thoughts. You’ll
also validate and encourage
successful thoughts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The problem can be
solved at least 200 different
ways, though it will take a
breakthrough to begin the
thought process that allows
you to see even one solution.
It all springs from a willingness
to learn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). It’s a “go big or go home”
kind of day. There will be ab-
solutely nothing to be gained
from going tentatively forward.
To the others involved, you’re
either in or out. Declare it with
gumption.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’re usually the one
who sets trends, not the one
who chases them. Stay on
your path and trust it, even
when people around you are
jumping on this fad or that.
Your instincts are only as good
as the trust you invest in them.
