mance just seven days
earlier.
On that day, Fitzger-
ald left the field at LSU
after one of the most
miserable passing days
any quarterback is likely
to endure, completing
just 8 of 24 passes for
58 yards and throwing
four interceptions in a
thoroughly demoralized
19-3 loss. Fitzgerald was
the goat and we’re not
talking the acronym for
Greatest of All Time.
How bad was it?
Going into Satur-
day’s game, it wasn’t
just a matter of how
well Fitzgerald would
play; it was a question
of how much he would
play. During the week,
Bulldogs coach Joe
Moorhead admitted that
at some point against
the Aggies, back-up
quarterback Keytaon
Thompson might play.
Given Fitzgerald’s
showing against LSU, it
was not beyond question
that Thompson might
be the guy playing the
meaningful minutes for
the rest of a season gone
wrong.
Thompson did play,
too, but it was limited
to three plays in the
second quarter.
After that cameo, the
game was Fitzgerald’s,
for better or worse.
And on a night when
MSU’s season seemed
poised to teeter on the
precipice of disaster, the
Bulldogs got better.
Much better.
After a week of sec-
ond-guesses and bitter
criticism, not only of
Fitzgerald, but for his
coach, whose reputation
as an offensive genius
seemed like a cruel
mockery as the Bulldog
offense foundered, the
Bulldogs needed every-
thing Fitzgerald had.
Moorhead’s post-
game demeanor clearly
reflected that feeling of
vindication.
“For all the B.S. that
kid has had to endure
through parts of this
season and knowing
everything he’s gone
through - laying his
heart and soul on the
line for this program
and university and hav-
ing to listen to all that
stuff,” Moorhead said.
“‘I’m happy for every kid
in that locker room, but
I’m most happy for that
kid because he deserves
it.”
Saturday’s game had
the feeling of a must-win
game and when the Bull-
dogs went to halftime
trailing 10-7, a Davis
Wade Stadium crown of
57,085 fidgeted uncom-
fortably in their seats as
visions of Birmingham
or Shreveport or some
other consolation prize
of a bowl game danced
in their heads.
But in the second
half, Fitzgerald took
over, out-gaining the en-
tire Aggie offense, 229
yards to 145, throwing a
go-ahead TD pass in the
third quarter, then rush-
ing for two scores in the
fourth quarter, turning a
tense defensive struggle
into a thoroughly satis-
fying 15-point win.

Our View

Where is a former white high school more historically significant

than a black one? In Columbus.
In May, Mississippi
Department of Archives
and History designated the
former Lee High School a
Historic Landmark, the high-
est designation the depart-
ment awards. The historical
significance, according to the
department, is the fact that
the school was the white high
school in Columbus during
segregation.
The designation allows the
owner to qualify for substan-
tial tax credits for redevelop-
ing the property.
At the time Lee High was
designated as historically
significant, Columbus-Lown-
des Convention and Visitors
Bureau CEO Nancy Carpen-
ter said the former Hunt High
School — the black high
school during segregation
— would be designated as a
Historical Landmark at a later
date. Carpenter also sits on
the board of MDAH.
Over six months have
passed since Lee received the
designation, and still Hunt’s
recognition has not been tak-
en up by the state board.
Multiple people involved
with MDAH admit the Land-
mark designation was award-
ed primarily to make the
purchase of the Lee property
more attractive to prospective
developers.
We question the historical
significance of the Lee prop-
erty. But if the former white
high school is to be designat-
ed as historically significant,
then Hunt must also be desig-
nated as such. Period.
In the absence of Land-
mark status for Hunt, it ap-
pears MDAH’s designation of
Lee was awarded solely due
to the development potential
for that property.
We believe this is a perver-
sion of the Historic Landmark
designation, and makes us
question the ultimate intent of
the MDAH board.
There’s no excuse for
MDAH not to address this
matter at their next meet-
ing. If they don’t, we fear it’s
possible we will look back 20
years from now and realize
we have a “historically sig-
nificant” white school and no
matching recognition for the
black school.
The optics of the situation
are simply embarrassing.

Roses and thorns

A rose to
all of those
who helped
spread the
word during
Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. Each Fri-
day in October, The Dispatch
told the stories of local people
whose lives have been touched
by breast cancer. But efforts
to raise awareness of breast
cancer is something that many
people did in a variety of ways.
One of The Dispatch stories
focused on Starkville surgeon
Dr. Ken Parvin, who spent
much of his 35 years diagnos-
ing and performing surgery on
breast cancer patients. Parvin
noted that one of the biggest
improvements in breast cancer
treatment has nothing to do
with medicine. “When I start-
ed, women didn’t talk about
breast cancer,” Parvin said. “It
was a very private thing. Now,
that’s changed. With social
media, women are telling their
own stories and encouraging
one another. That’s a big thing,
I think.” We agree. Breast
Cancer Awareness Month
may end Wednesday, but we
encourage everyone to keep
spreading the word. Early
diagnosis is the biggest deter-
mining factor in survival. The
more we remind each other of
this established fact, the fewer
deaths we will see from this
awful disease.
A rose to
Baptist Me-
morial Hos-
pital-Golden
Triangle and
East Mississip-
pi Community College for their
collaboration in a new surgical
technology program, which
will begin with 15 students in
January. The classes, along
with a paramedic program,
will be held at a Baptist build-
ing on Willowbrook Road near
the hospital. Students will
have the opportunity to work
with doctors, paramedics and
surgical technologists from
Baptist before graduating with
Associate’s degrees in either
program. It’s a great recruiting
tool for the hospital and an
excellent opportunity for stu-
dents to get real-life training
in their specialty. After being
inactive for a year after losing
its instructor, EMCC’s para-
medic program returns. For
the first time classes will be
held at a Baptist facility. The
relationship between students
and the hospital is certain to
reap dividends for both the
hospital and the students.
A rose to
Mississippi
University for
Women for
their efforts in
landing a $1.5
million federal grant that will
be used for a major upgrade in
the university’s advising soft-
ware, which will help MUW
advisors and the students they
work with more effectively
tailor to their education when
students change majors or
have other issues.
MUW officials say the new
software will help student
retention. The six-year gradu-
ation rate for MUW students
who enrolled at The W is
44.3 percent compared to the
national average of 59 percent.
While there are any number
of reasons a student may
leave school before earning a
degree, the confusion created
by a change of majors is one
factor that can be addressed.
The new DegreeWorks soft-
ware will help students more
easily adjust class schedules
after changing majors or other
interruptions in the academic
schedule. We applaud The W
for pursuing this grant to pro-
vide one more tool in the effort
to make sure its students leave
school with a degree.
A rose to
Alison Buehler
and The Home-
stead Educa-
tion Center in
Starkville as
it prepares for the beginning
of its annual Helping Hands
fundraising drive. This year,
the goal is to raise $20,000
to publish and distribute a
series of books co-authored by
Buehler and her friend, Lenora
Witt and illustrated by Chris
Miller of Nashville, Tennessee.
The three-book “Big
Monty” series is for students
in grades 2-4 and is geared to-
ward black students, who have
historically lagged behind
their white peers in reading.
Part of the effort to close that
gap is creating books with
black characters speaking in
authentic voices. Witt and Mill-
er, both of whom are black,
give these books that needed
authenticity. We believe that
children gravitate toward the
familiar and the presence of
characters black children can
relate to will help motivate
these children to be become
more enthusiastic readers and,
as a result, better readers. To
contribute to the fundraiser,
which begins Nov. 6, go to

Voice of the people
Coach Kelly: Caledonia’s Hero
Caledonia won more than a state
championship this year. For most pro-
grams, three wins is considered an un-
derperformance and borderline abysmal,
but for Caledonia, three wins electrified
the entire school.
Last October, I sat in the stands and
watched our team get blanked 31-0 in
the finale of a 0-10 season. Watching the
team exit the field, I thought to myself
that it might be one of the last games I
see as a student. My senior year was sure
to hold misery on the gridiron since we
were losing all of our offensive produc-
tion and most of our defensive playmak-
ers. Of our 1200 yards of offense last
season, only 390 yards were accounted
for by underclassmen. Defensively, we
were losing 6 of our 7 leading tacklers.
Losing this kind of production from an
0-10 team, I expected an even worse year
to come and prepared myself for another
10-loss season full of blowouts.
Instead of generating hype, the offsea-
son only raised more questions. Hiring
a new coach initially created new hope
for the season; however, Tim Nickens’
abrupt resignation in the middle of
spring practice led to chaos in the pro-
gram. The coaching search then turned
to David King, a man who had previously
been arrested on a DUI charge. Many,
myself included, caused an uproar over
this hiring. During the time King was
“coach”, my friends and I were honest-
ly doubting whether we would attend
a single game in order to protest the
hiring. After the hiring of King was un-
successful, I was relieved but wondered
if the football team would be able to find
a coach in time for the season. My faith
in the program was undoubtedly at an
all-time low.
Coach Kelly entered the program
as an unknown. Personally, I did not
know much about him other than he was
coming from Columbus. I assumed that
since he was hired at such an awkward
time, he likely was not a premier coach-
ing prospect. I can gladly now say I was
wrong in every aspect. Coach Kelly
immediately brought stability to the pro-
gram. His quiet demeanor off the field
coupled with his loyalty to the school
allowed for the smoothest transition
possible. Coach Kelly did not have any
baggage; his only priority was getting to
Caledonia and preparing his team for the
season.
Faced with many challenges upon
arrival, Coach Kelly focused on estab-
lishing an identity for his team. He had
assembled a new staff and was left with
only two months until the first game.
Seeking to establish a winning culture,
Coach Kelly founded his program on
discipline and leadership. Some talented
players quit due to the rigorous summer
practices, but others rose to the occasion
and accepted the challenges of the new
season. In this short time before the sea-
son started, Coach Kelly discovered his
leaders and instilled his vision of success
inside the program. Following the first
month under Coach Kelly, the players
bought in and believed they could win.
Despite my friends telling me other-
wise, I remained a skeptic and still did
not believe this team could win a game.
The first game rolled around, and I was
excited to see if our team could back up
all the talk. In a 40-12 beatdown, I sat in
the stands in a state of disbelief. We had
won a football game. Coach Kelly had
overcome the lack of practices, placed
a new quarterback and running-back
under the lights, and beaten a county
opponent. After beating West Lowndes,
Coach Kelly became a hero. The school
exploded with excitement for the football
team and our new hero. Following a vic-
tory in the first game, the entire school
began to believe in the program. Joy
radiated from the students, teachers and
team leading up to the next game. At our
second game, several students painted
their chests to have the numbers of the
best players on the team. This team was
coming off an eleven-game losing streak,
but we were all energized by what Coach
Kelly had done in just a single game.
One game stood out on the calendar
to everyone at Caledonia: September
21st at New Hope. We had not beaten
New Hope in thirteen years, but we all
believed Coach Kelly could get it done.
While that game unfolded before our
eyes, it became more than just a foot-
ball game. It became about the ability
to overcome adversity, no matter what
others may think. It became about never
losing hope even when you have lost
everything. We won that game 44-28,
but we won a lot more. After Coach Kelly
was drenched with some well-deserved
Gatorade showers, everyone circled
around him. He had barely gotten three
words out of his mouth before everyone
erupted and players began carrying him
on their shoulders. Cowbells and cheers
engulfed the stadium as everyone high-
fived and celebrated the victory. Our
hero had overcome all odds and beaten
the unbeatable.
The feeling of euphoria created in
these games was not short lived. Every
Friday I was able to walk into a game
knowing that our team had a chance to
win, regardless of the opponent. Last
October, I sat in our stadium not know-
ing if I would even show up to a game
this year. One year later, my friend and I
entered our stadium holding nine signs,
including one that read “Kelly>Saban.” I
stood for four quarters and relentlessly
cheered for a team that was one win away
from making the playoffs. Never in my
wildest dreams would I have believed we
would be in that situation. Coach Kelly
has transformed Caledonia High School
and shown us the power of perseverance.
This Friday, we played one last time for
a spot in the playoffs, and even though
we lost, this season has resulted in more
than a championship could bring. Thank
you, Coach Kelly, for giving me some-
thing to be proud to cheer for in my final
year at Caledonia.

Observations leading to the election
This is how I see the upcoming elec-
tion. The national debt, already huge,
took another $2 trillion hit, thanks to
the recent tax cut which significantly
reduced federal revenues. The great
majority of that tax cut windfall went to
the one percent and not to peons like
me, and Mitch McConnell wants to
pay for it by reducing Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid, which most of
us, that other 99.9 percent, have paid for
throughout our adult, working lives. It is
hard not to feel like that was all a giant
setup. But, wait, there’s more. Despite
what many Republican candidates for
office are saying now (Governor Rick
Scott of Florida perhaps the most glaring
case in point), another major goal of the
Republican-controlled congress is to
eliminate the single most valuable aspect
of Obamacare, the requirement that cov-
erage includes pre-existing conditions.
Don’t forget that the Republican-con-
trolled House of Representatives voted
to repeal Obamacare and, if not for John
McCain, the Senate would have done the
same. Many would have already lost the
protection for pre-existing conditions.
Bottom line — big win for the one per-
cent, big loss for the rest of us.
Maybe that is why we are not hearing
much from conservative candidates or
from our President about the tax cut or
the economy which is currently purring
along pretty well, despite recent volatility
in the stock market. Perhaps that is not
enough to distract us voters from the
issues I raised above. Maybe that is the
reason for the current fixation by the
President and other Republicans on the
caravan — as if the participants, many of
them refugees fleeing oppression from
drug cartels, etc. (Who can blame them
for that?), will overwhelm our southern
borders in spite of our existing immigra-
tion laws. We are not about to be overrun
— that just isn’t going to happen, just
like it didn’t happen this past April when
President Trump attempted to stoke
fears about a similar, though smaller,
such caravan.
All I’ve done so far is to heavily sum-
marize about half of Steve Chapman’s
column published in this paper a few
days ago (10/22/18). Here’s what I don’t
understand, though - why aren’t candi-
dates from the Democratic party more
overtly pointing out these same things?
If they are, it’s not making it to my TV
here in Mississippi.
Here’s what I hope: that the Missis-
sippi electorate will, 1) vote, and, 2)
understand what has already happened
to them in Washington D.C. with the
approval of their current senators and
most of the incumbent members of the
House — and what those same folks have
in mind to do in the next Congress. And
then, whatever happens, keep paying
attention and keep up a civil dialogue
with those who disagree with you - the
mailing of pipe bombs has happened
since I began work on this letter - that
is not what we are as a country. We’re
always better off working together than
we could ever be hunkering down with
our respective tribes.
Commenters, feel free to tell me how I
have gotten it wrong.

Stocks slump
again; S&P 500,
Dow back into
red for year
By ALEX VEIGA
AP Business Writer
Stocks are back in the
red for the year after anoth-
er wave of selling hit Wall
Street Friday.
The latest plunge came
at the end of an unusually
turbulent week of trading
that had one huge gain
sandwiched between mas-
sive losses.
A three-week slide has
left the benchmark S&P
500 index on track for its
worst month since February
2009, right before the stock
market hit bottom following
the 2008 financial crisis.
Longtime market favor-
ites like Amazon led the way
lower after reporting weak
results. Technology and
consumer-focused compa-
nies accounted for much of
the sell-off.
Media and communi-
cations stocks, banks and
health care companies also
took heavy losses. Bond
prices rose, sending yields
lower, as investors sought
out less risky assets.
The Dow Jones Industri-
al Average fell nearly 300
points and the S&P 500, a
benchmark for many index
funds, is now down 9.3 per-
cent from its September
peak.

zoo City, MS, to the late Samuel Hilary Living-
ston and Sarah Armstrong Livingston. His family
moved to Columbus in 1930, where he attended
school and graduated from Lee High School in
1941. One of his greatest honors was serving
3 years in the army in World War II, including
7 months in Europe from January to August
1945. He served in the 11th Mechanized Caval-

His knowledge of bible doctrine directed his
life and made him a man who truly lived by the
principle of grace his entire life. He was saved by
grace and he died in grace. When he gave the
gospel, his favorite message was “Faith plus nut-
tin!” Faith alone in Christ alone is the only thing
required for salvation.

hallways. The oft-visited
museum located in the
back portion of the old
school contains photos
of graduating classes, bi-
ographies of prominent
Columbus African Amer-
icans and antiques from
the mid-20th century —
from an old washboard
and sewing machine to a

“So many of our alum-
ni come back to that
building and they’re just
totally impressed with
the things that we have
preserved over that peri-
od of time,” Johnson said.
“That’s mainly what we’re
trying to do, is keep the
old Hunt High memory
alive.”
Even though the Hunt
Museum’s entire mission
is centered on history, it is
not designated as a State
Historic Landmark by the
Mississippi Department
of Archives and History.
Johnson said he and oth-
ers have tried to at least
get a historical marker
from the state marking
the campus as a historic
site, but even that request
has so far fallen on deaf
ears.
In contrast, MDAH has
granted State Landmark
status to the abandoned
Lee High School on Mil-
itary Road — which was
built around 1950 and
served as the white high
school in the final years
of segregation in the city
— ahead of a promised
multi-million dollar re-
development at the site
for which the developer
hopes to use historic tax
credits.
said. “The need was just
there so the developer
could move forward with
the project.
“This is not a racially
divisive question or sit-
uation,” she later added.
“… If (Lee) were named
a landmark, then it means
more for the developer in
terms of tax credits. That
is strictly the only reason
why Lee took precedence
over Hunt being named.”
Carpenter now says
Hunt’s designation could
come “if not in January,
probably April at latest.”
“I think it’s a signif-
icant building because
of the African American
community and what
Hunt School meant here
in Columbus,” she added.
MDAH official: Both
schools are historically
significant
Jim Woodrick, MDAH
deputy state historic pres-
ervation officer, said de-
partment staff considers
Hunt and Lee significant
“as a pair.” Both were
designed by the same ar-
chitect and represent the
equalization era when
communities in the South
attempted to forestall
integration by creating
“separate but equal”
school facilities for blacks
and whites.
However, Woodrick
also credited the pend-
ing development at Lee
for the need to expedite
its designation because
MDAH loses its ability to
landmark a building once
it passes from public to
private ownership.
Until June, Columbus
Municipal School District
owned the Lee campus
— which closed as Lee
Middle School in 2011
when the new Columbus
Middle School was built
on Highway 373. It’s been
abandoned ever since.
The district spent
several years trying to
sell the property, during
which time the asbes-
tos-filled buildings be-
came run-down and van-
dalized with graffiti. Lee
was the site of a couple of
break-ins earlier this year.
The redevelopment
authority, also a public en-
tity, began marketing the
site in 2016 and exercised
its purchase option from
the school district in June
before selling it to the pri-
vate developer.
“We knew there was
a developer interested in
purchasing the property,”
Woodrick said. “We felt
strongly that he would be
using a historic preserva-
tion tax credit, meaning
he would work with us to
do the development in us-
ing the standards that we
would always use if it were
landmarked. If it went out
of public ownership, we
would have no protection
for it. It was to ensure that
we would have a stake
in what happened to the
property.”
‘A worthy idea’
Woodrick said his staff
still supports landmark
status for Hunt — which
CMSD still owns — and
believes that site would
greatly benefit from that
protection.

But since then trustees
have met twice — once
in July and at the campus
of Mississippi State Uni-
versity on Friday — to
consider landmark sta-
tuses for other properties
across the state.
In both meetings, Hunt
wasn’t on the agenda. The
property also hasn’t been

comment period required
for trustees to even con-

Carpenter, speaking
with The Dispatch on Fri-
day, said she still supports
landmark status for Hunt,
but the pending develop-
ment at Lee — and the
tax credits Berry could
use there — gave trustees
more urgency in acting
on that property.

range anywhere from 22.1
percent to 27 percent lower
than their white peers, she
said.
Buehler believes she
has stumbled by accident
onto an effective tool for
closing that gap. When her
daughter was in second
grade, Buehler was shop-
ping for a book to give as
a birthday present to her
daughter’s friend, who is
black.
She shopped for a book
the child might relate to,
perhaps a chapter book.
Specifically, maybe a book
that is part of a series de-
signed for intermediate
readers, usually ages 7 to
10, that follows a recurring
main character or group
of characters in a playful
way with lots of illustra-
tions. Chapter books serve
a critical role as children
progress from beginning
to advanced readers.
But as she shopped,
Buehler could not find any
chapter books that fea-
tured black characters.
That experience stuck
with Buehler. Three years
ago, on a hiking trip to Col-
orado, she raised the topic
with her longtime friend
and college roommate,
Lenora Witt, an African
American.
“I asked her what her
boys were reading,” Bue-
hler recalled. “She named
all the books. There
weren’t any black charac-
ters in any of them, either.”
By the end of the hik-
ing trip, Buehler and Witt
had devised a plan to write
their own chapter books.
“Chapter books are so
important,” Buehler said.
“That’s how you become
fluent, reading those chap-
ter books. But there are no
chapter books with black
characters. When you
don’t have those, it impacts
a child’s motivation for
reading, comprehension,
vocabulary. I thought, ‘We
could really move the nee-
dle here.’”
An authentic voice

Pictured is the cover
design of the first “Big
Monty” book, a collabora-
tion among Alison Buehler
of Starkville, her longtime
friend Lenora Witt and
Nashville-based illustrator
Chris Miller. The chapter
book series, geared for
grades 2-4, is an effort to
help close to reading gap
for black children through
books featuring black
characters and stories.
Buehler immediately
knew the book needed
not only relatable black
characters, but they need
to have an authentic black
voices and experiences.
“I didn’t just want the
books to have a white
voice speaking through
black characters,” she
said.
That’s where Witt
came in.
“I’ve got some writing
experience, but it’s all in
technical writing,” Witt
said. “Alison has experi-
ence in creative writing,
so the way it works out,
she planned out the sto-
ries and I gave the char-
acters their words, their
personalities.”
Together, the wom-
en wrote three chapter
books revolving around a
fifth-grade boy who lives
in Memphis named Mer-
lin Montgomery.

The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com
In addition to engaging young readers with fun sto-
ries filled with characters they can relate to, the “Big
Monty” books are also a way to build vocabulary and
comprehension, often with pauses in the narrative to
explain a concept. In this passage, the story pauses to
explain what an acronym is.
plot in the stories.
In addition to a name
he doesn’t like, Merlin
also struggles to bridge
the gap between the “sci-
ence nerd” he is and the
cool kids, especially a
boy name A’lo.
Other recurring char-
acters are his fellow sci-
ence enthusiast, Global,
and Merlin’s clever little
sister, Josephine.
The decision to make
the lead character a boy,
Buehler said, was calcu-
lated.
“What we’ve learned
is that girls will read
books where the boys are
the main characters, but
boys won’t read books
about girls,” she said.
Keeping
the stories funny
Another conscious
decision was the types
of stories featured in the
books.
“They need to be fun-
ny and about the kind of
goofy things that kids
that age love,” Buehler
said, noting the popular-
ity of such off-the-wall
books as “Captain Under-
pants” and “Stink” series.

The absence of black

is something that has im-

Gunman attacks Pittsburgh synagogue, killing 11 people

Police: Suspect in custody after attack
during a baby naming ceremony
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — A
shooter opened fire during
a baby naming ceremony
at a Pittsburgh synagogue
on Saturday, killing 11 peo-
ple.
At least six other people
were wounded, including
four police officers who
dashed to the scene, au-
thorities said.
Police said a suspect
was in custody after the at-
tack at the Tree of Life Con-
gregation in Pittsburgh’s
Squirrel Hill neighbor-
hood. A law enforcement
official identified the sus-
pect as Robert Bowers and
said he is in his 40s. The
official wasn’t authorized
to discuss an ongoing in-
vestigation and spoke to
The Associated Press on
condition of anonymity.
Bob Jones, the special
agent in charge of the
FBI’s office in Pittsburgh,
said investigators Bowers
was not known to law en-
forcement and that they
believe he was acting
alone. He said Bowers’ full
motive still isn’t known.
The social media site
Gab.com said the alleged
shooter had a profile on its
website, which is popular
with far-right extremists.
The company said the ac-
count was verified after
the shooting and matched
the name of the gunman.
A man with the same
name posted on Gab be-
fore the shooting that
“HIAS likes to bring invad-
ers in that kill our people.

HIAS is a nonprofit
group that helps refugees
around the world find safe-
ty and freedom. The orga-
nization says it is guided by
Jewish values and history.
Bowers also recently
posted a photo of a collec-
tion of three semi-auto-
matic handguns he titled
“my glock family,” a refer-
ence to the firearms man-
ufacturer. He also posted
photos of bullet holes in
person-sized targets at a
firing range, touting the
“amazing trigger” on a
handgun he was offering

Bomb suspect: Ex-stripper with cash problems, Trump devotion

Arrest capped a week in which the
bombs aimed at some of America’s
biggest names dominated the news
By MICHAEL BIESECKER
and STEPHEN BRAUN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Ce-
sar Sayoc is an amateur
body builder and former
stripper, a loner with a
long arrest record who
showed little interest
in politics until Donald
Trump came along.
On Friday, he was
identified by authorities
as the Florida man who
put pipe bombs in small
manila envelopes, affixed
six stamps and sent them
to some of Trump’s most
prominent critics.
His arrest capped a
week in which the bombs
aimed at some of Amer-
ica’s biggest names —
Obama, Clinton, De Niro
— dominated the news
and invited speculation
about who might be re-
sponsible for them. The
answer, authorities said,
was Sayoc, a 56-year-old
man from Aventura, Flor-
ida, who was devoted to
Trump, had a history of
financial problems and an
extensive arrest record,
including a stint on pro-
bation for making a bomb
threat.
His attorney in that
2002 case, Ronald Lowy,
described Sayoc as “a
confused man who had
trouble controlling his
emotions.”
A cousin of Sayoc, Len-
ny Altieri, used stronger
terms.
“I know the guy is a lu-
natic,” Altieri told The As-
sociated Press. “He has
been a loner.”
Altieri confirmed that
Sayoc had been a strip-
per. On an online resume,
she said Friday. “Never

Stacy Saccal, the gen-

had worked there for
about two months, first
as a floor bouncer and for
the past month as a disc
jockey — most recently
on Thursday night, hours

STARKVILLE — Nick
Fitzgerald pitched the ball to
the nearest official and made
his way toward the Texas
A&M’s sideline. He started
shaking hands and stopped
to talk to Texas A&M backup
quarterback Nick Starkel.
By his conduct, the moment
carried no meaning from any
of the other 20 wins Fitzgerald
has earned as the Mississippi
State football team’s quarter-
back, now in the back half of
his third year as the starter.
Fitzgerald’s demeanor didn’t
change when he received a cel-

MSU backup quarterback Key-
taon Thompson stopped by his
side.
Fitzgerald continued to play
it all as normal as he prepared to
do a post-game interview. When
he was told he didn’t have to do
an interview, he joined his team
— only after receiving a hug
from Jen Moorhead, the wife
of MSU coach Joe Moorhead.
The most emotion he showed
was mouthing the “damn right”

played before the alma mater.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: World Series — Game 4

Boston rallies from four-run deficit to move one win from championship
By GREG BEACHAM
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — An 18-in-
ning loss in Game 3 of the
World Series couldn’t wear out
the Boston Red Sox. A four-run
deficit late in Game 4 definitely
didn’t faze them.
This plucky powerhouse just
kept getting big hits to move to the
brink of another championship.
Steve Pearce hit a tying ho-
mer in the eighth and a three-
run double in the ninth, and the
Red Sox emphatically rallied
for a 9-6 victory against the Los
Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
Pinch-hitter Rafael Devers
singled home Brock Holt with
the tiebreaking run in the ninth
as Boston roared to a 3-1 lead in
Red Sox 9, Dodgers 6
the best-of-seven matchup.
Game 5 is Sunday at Dodger
Stadium, where the Red Sox
can close out a spectacular sea-
son with their fourth title in 15
years. Boston picked Game 2
winner David Price to start on
short rest against fellow lefty
Clayton Kershaw.
Shortly after Yasiel Puig’s
three-run homer in the sixth
put the Dodgers up 4-0, Bos-
ton’s incredible surge began
with pinch-hitter Mitch More-
land’s three-run homer.
The Red Sox will have trou-
ble topping this performance,
in which they overcame a three-
run deficit in a World Series
game for only the second time.
Boston also rallied from three

Carlton Fisk’s dramatic homer

tied it with a three-run shot.

Shorter said.
As explosive as the
offense has been, it has
been “vanilla,” Shorter
said. He has been strat-
egizing what plays and
personnel groupings are
used in games to limit
what opponents will see
on tape. For instance, the
Tigers haven’t unleashed
a full passing offense with
film that he can so they
won’t just crowd the box
on him,” Shorter said.
Pruitt completed both
of his passes for 39 yards.
He also rushed for 71
yards on nine carries. He
scored twice and had a
catch for 42 yards.

Sanders recovered a

Shorter said. “That stuff
burns me up. New Hope
has good coaches and was
going to be prepared to
play, and they were. That
drive woke us up. I’m glad
it happened.”
The Tigers’ lack of fo-
cus is a troubling trend
that has spilled over into

Fisher and Drew Hus-

ter to give their reserves
plenty of playing time.
The game marked the

looked like he was ahead

to be hitting its stride.
“It broke my heart

Harrison said. “For him

carbohydrates and elevated levels
of glucose in the blood and urine.
According to a 2017 report by
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), more than
100 million U.S. adults are living
with diabetes or prediabetes.
Heritage Academy senior Davis
Fitch, a transfer from New Hope
High School, was diagnosed with
Type 1 (juvenile) Diabetes when
he was 11 years old. He said he has
to take a shot of insulin whenever
he eats and before he goes to bed.
The shots work to keep his blood
sugar at a controlled level. He said
his Heritage Academy teammates
know he has the condition, but he
didn’t expect any of them to be at
the Riverwalk to take part in the
event. Much to Fitch’s surprise,
Banks Hyde, Clay Walters, J.R.
Lott, Chapman Cooper, Carter
Putt, and Seth Swain were there
waiting to join him in the walk.
“We have been friends for a
long time,” Fitch said. “We haven’t
been teammates, except in the
park league. To be on the same
high school team means a lot. They
accepted me in right when I came
here. It has helped a lot.”
Diabetes didn’t prevent Fitch
from taking part in sports at New
Hope High. It also hasn’t prevent-
ed him from transitioning to the
football team at Heritage Academy.
He said in the offseason he already

which is #Family. “When you come out here and
you can trust your teammates to
pick you up when you’re down or
they’re there to encourage you
whenever you make a mistake,
we’re family,” Fitch said. “That’s
the best way to say it.”
The diabetes event at the River-
walk fit so well with Heritage Acad-
emy’s slogan of #Family because
those who took part in the walk
received “We Are Family” necklac-
es in goodie bags. Fitch said some
of his teammates have the necklac-
es hanging up in their locker room
in the school’s field house.
Lott, who played Friday in his
first game since injuring his ankle
in the preseason, said growing
up he played baseball with Fitch,
so it was natural for him and his
teammates to support Fitch at the
diabetes event.
“This is the closest team I have
ever been a part of in any sport,”
Lott said. “When they say family,
we’re really family.”
Lott said the #Family started in
May as the Patriots began prepa-
rations for the 2018 campaign. He
said everyone realized the team
had the potential to do something
“special,” so he said it was impera-
tive for everyone to get on board.
“You can’t get to that point if
half of the team is on board with
it and half of the team is not,” Lott
said. “If you’re there together and
there is a bond, brotherhood, fam-
ily, all of that stuff, you’re going to
reach that goal.”
Much like the Mississippi State
football team has used Journey’s
song “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” as its
unofficial anthem, Sister Sledge
played in the background as Lott
talked about his return to the field.
The song had finished by the time
Fitch discussed sharing time with
his teammates at the Riverwalk, but
there was a feeling that Friday wasn’t
going to be the last time in 2018 that
Patriots’ players, fans, family mem-
bers, and friends heard it play.
Heritage Academy coach Sean
Harrison said the “family” concept
has been an important part of the
squad’s “horizontal, not vertical
leadership” that has strengthened
the bonds and brought everyone
closer together.
“They hold each other account-
able,” Harrison said. “They’re not
afraid to get in each other’s face
when they feel someone is not doing
something they’re supposed to do at
practice.
“I look back at the week of prac-
tice for the game against Starkville
Academy. That was the most fiery
week of practice we have had of
them getting after each other when
a mistake was made. I think it is
wonderful because they don’t get
their feelings hurt. They take it,
they understand it, and they make
it better.”
If that means Harrison has to
hear Sister Sledge following games
for three more weeks, he’s all for it.

play had really been one
of the best things for our
team. It had gotten bet-
ter and better. Tonight,
we struggled there, and
that just really opened the
door for South Panola to
build the lead.
“Overall, we played
well at times and did a lot
of things right. It’s just
hard to fall down so quick-
ly, especially when you
have been struggling to
score, struggling to find
a win.”
Cody Sanders punted
four times for a 28-yard
average for the Falcons.
In addition to the clean
block by Bryen Robinson
on the first kick, the Ti-
gers broke through and
partially blocked two oth-
ers.
“That’s been the story
of our season,” Rice said.
“When we get one area
shored up, we have anoth-
er area that is a concern.
Typically, teams can list
those areas where we
need to get better. Each
week, our problem shifts,
and that has been the
most frustrating part of
our season. Again, the de-
fense plays well.
“That has been a com-
mon theme throughout

Chambless said. “Our
offense is really hard to
stop when we are able to
balance the run and pass.
“Our wide receivers
know how to execute and
know to take advantage of
their opportunities when
the ball is thrown their
way.”
The night was full of
special moments for oth-
ers wearing the green and
white. John Facella, a se-
nior wide receiver, scored
his first career rushing
touchdown in the second
quarter. Facella received
two chances on jet sweep
plays, finally breaking
through for a score. Reco
Bailey, who is playing his
first season of football,
received seven carries
in an eight-play series in
the third quarter. Bailey,
also a senior, finished the
series with a 1-yard touch-
down.
“I am glad we as a
coaching staff could de-
liver some memorable
moments for the players
tonight,” Chambless said.
“We understand how
many family members
and friends come out for
this night. We definitely
want to make it special.”
Bailey had nine carries
for 45 yards. Dantariy-
us Cannon had 37 yards,
Jaylun Eggerson had
four carries for 32 yards,
Kameron Martin had sev-
en carries for 31 yards
and two scores. These
leaders were cogs in a

It’s normal to inform about where to spend Thanksgiving

have children.
Don’t you think the sons and their
wives should decide for themselves if
they want to travel for the holidays?
They may prefer to spend Christmas
morning in their own homes. Also,
what about her daughters-in-law’s
parents? Perhaps they, too, have
other grown children who would like
to decide what they want to do for the
holidays.
My philosophy is to plan my hol-
idays and invite my children. If they
can come, great! If not, there are no
hard feelings. If all of my children and
grandchildren can’t be here at the
same time, I focus on the ones who
are and enjoy the time I have with
them. I think the woman is being dis-
respectful to her sons and daughters-

DEAR FOCUS: As your letter
illustrates, not all mothers-in-law are
alike. Some are iron-fisted matriarchs
who demand obedience from their
grown children. Others, like you, are
more easygoing. In my opinion, the
woman you have described is less
disrespectful than overbearing.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
28). You might be surprised at
the one thing that will increase
your good fortune more than
anything else this year. It’s
reading. The more you absorb
the better you get at meeting
whatever challenges that
come. Also, reading leads to
appreciation, and appreciation
is an invitation to the universe
to further delight you. Libra
and Leo adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 4, 41, 24, 18
and 30.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Your honest appraisal of
a situation will help enormous-
ly — that is, if it’s your job
or duty to share such things.
Avoid sharing opinions you
aren’t asked for, though, as it
won’t lead to anything good.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Of course, everyone is
acting out of self-interest
while trying to seem unselfish.
This is only natural. Anyway, it
makes any genuinely selfless
move appear nothing short of
miraculous.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
To release the past — that’s
the empowering choice. Don’t
worry about whether the other
person deserves to be forgiv-
en. You don’t have to forgive in
order to drop it and move on.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). The peacock’s beautiful
plumage is an elegant decep-
tion designed to woo mates
and intimidate rivals. You, on
the other hand, don’t need to
be larger or more colorful to
be impressive. Leave that to
the birds.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
are creative, and you have so
much to give. Now all you need
is someone to teach you how
to give it to more people. Mar-
keting isn’t just for business.
It’s a life skill important to
your growth.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Ask for clarity. It doesn’t really
matter whom you ask. You
could ask the tree. You could
ask your mom. It’s the ques-
tion itself that centers you and
invites the light of truth.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You could tell your story any
number of ways. The dramatic
way might be more enter-
taining, but it’s better to be
diplomatic. Cast them in a
favorable light and you’ll earn
trust and support.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Does it seem as if you’ve
been ranking your days as
good or bad based on one
single goal? Though this goal
matters to you very much,
should it really be the basis of
your entire rating system?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). It feels at times as
if your body just won’t coop-
erate with you. Then again,
maybe you just haven’t figured
out how to operate it yet. The
first step is in realizing that
though you have a body, you
are not your body.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There really are angels
around. You should know.
You’ve been one on plenty of
occasions. So when it’s your
turn to accept angelic assis-
tance, do not be too proud to
take it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The thing that caused you
to doubt your own capabilities
was nothing more than an
uncontrollable bit of life. So,
you’re not all-powerful. But
you’re certainly more than
capable under most circum-
stances.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Though the truth may set
you free, it is not likely to also
make you popular. Think twice
before revealing your honest
opinion, particularly on the
subject of what friends are
up to.

Friday’s Handworks Bazaar

to benefit Habitat for Humanity project
Starkville event
is 9:30 a.m.-
3:30 p.m.
SPECIAL TO THE
DISPATCH

A
soon-to-be-con-
structed Habitat
for Humanity home
will benefit from a Nov.
2 Christmas Handworks
Bazaar held by Starkville’s
First United Methodist
Church at 200 W. Lamp-
kin St.
The free event will fea-
ture about 35 vendors who
have created hand-crafted
items such as jewelry,
paintings, hand-sewn tex-
tiles, pottery, woodwork,
specialty food items and
home decor. Frozen cas-
seroles and baked goods
also will be available,
along with sandwiches
and sweets for lunch and
snacks.
The Friday event will
take place in the church’s
Christian Life Center
from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Lunch will be available
from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Additionally, the
church will offer paintings
by Carole McReynolds
Davis, a well-known
Starkville artist who
died in 2014. Her family
provided the collection
to be part of the church’s
fundraising efforts.
Building up families
All bazaar proceeds
will go to a Habitat for Hu-
manity project to be built
in the spring. Erica Rice,
32, a member of the Food
and Nutrition Department
at OCH Regional Medical
Center, has been chosen
as the Habitat partner to
own the house. She will
visit with vendors before
the bazaar begins.

tive director of Starkville
Habitat for Humanity,
said the church has been
deeply involved in build-
ing previous Apostles
Houses, most recently in
2014. Apostles Houses
are built when a church
raises $75,000 for Habitat
projects and commits
volunteers to assist with
construction.
Bazaar Committee
co-chair Suzanne Dressel
said that as a covenant
partner of Habitat, the
church builds a house ev-
ery four to five years. This
is the 13th Handworks
Bazaar held to raise funds
for Habitat projects.
“We pay for the mate-
rials, provide volunteers
at the work site, provide
meals for the volunteers,
and get to know the family
that will be living in the
house. The bazaar is our
major fundraiser for this
event,” Dressel said.
A global nonprofit
organization founded in
1976 in Americus, Geor-
gia, Habitat for Humanity
provides individuals with
low and moderate income
with the opportunity to
become homeowners.
Each partner must agree
to contribute 300 hours of
“sweat equity” toward con-
struction, repay a 20-year
mortgage, and take three

including a financial liter-
acy class.
Rice moved to
Starkville when she was
9 years old and lives in a
two-bedroom apartment
with son Ty, 11, and
daughters Ja’ Myla, 9, and
Ta’ Sara, 7.
“The kids are excited
about having their own
space, especially my son,”
she said. The new home
will allow her children to
play safely in their own
yard, having outgrown the
small playground at the
apartment complex where
they live.
Expressing apprecia-
tion to all involved in the
bazaar, Rice said she had
been trying to get a home
for some time but was not
financially able. “I had the
dream. It is a blessing to
become a homeowner,”
she said. “I appreciate
everything they have
blessed me and my family
with.”
Construction will begin
in March at 21 Glenn Lane
in Sunset Subdivision.
The work will involve
church volunteers and
out-of-state students in the
Collegiate Challenge pro-
gram, along with others,
including Rice. The family
should be able to move in
about three months later. If you don’t read The Dispatch, how are you gonna know?

Ghosts & Legends

Continued from Page 1C
A different narrative
she developed for a past
tour germinated from an
urban legend that has
circulated on campus
for years — that a ghost
named Mary who hangs
around Callaway Hall
hung herself from the
landmark clock tower
there after her sweet-
heart was killed in the
Civil War.
“What we know is that
during the Civil War, the
campus was the Colum-
bus Female Institute and
that there was no clock
tower then. There’s no
way a Mary from the Civ-
il War could have killed
herself on the tower.” So,
Pieschel imagined what
the real source of the
legend might be.
After the Battle of Shi-
loh in 1862, the Colum-
bus Female Institute was
packed with wounded
soldiers, both Confeder-
ate and Union, Pieschel
said. Faculty members,
students and ladies from
the town acted as nurses
to those young men.
“I thought about a
story in which maybe
there was a girl who fell
in love with someone she
was caring for. Maybe
he got well enough to go
back into battle and was
killed,” Pieschel shared.
For the tour, she wrote
a poignant scene of a
young woman and young
man, separated by death
before they could marry,
but reuniting forever at
the place they first met.
A sampling of tales
Ghosts & Legends
isn’t the only way to expe-
rience “ghostly” presenc-
es. Most towns have their
share. Columbus, with its
abundance of antebellum
and Victorian dwellings,
has a generous portion
of resident spirits. One
makes her home at
Errollton, the home of
Keith and Gaines Gaskin.
It’s where Pilgrimage
visitors flock to see the
window pane with the
name “Nellie” etched in
it.
The mansion was built
in the 1840s by merchant
William B. Weaver. Weav-
er’s daughter, Nellie, fell
in love with Charles Tuck-
er; they married in 1878.
The happy bride etched
her name in a window
pane in her room, which
is now the south parlor.
Nellie’s bliss didn’t last,
however. Tucker left her
and his child. To support
herself, Nellie started a
small school. She lived
in the mansion until she
was 80, as it fell into dis-
repair around her.
When Gaines Gaskin’s
grandmother purchased
the house in the 1950s,
restoration got underway.
One day, a workman ac-
cidentally broke the pane
with Nellie’s name. It was
replaced with new glass.
Years later, as the sto-
ry goes, Gaskin’s mother,
Chebie Bateman, noticed
something that hadn’t
been there before as
she reached to close the
curtains: Nellie’s name
etched in the same place
and same handwriting
as the original had been.
Some think the spirit of
Nellie was just letting
everyone know how
pleased she was with the
restoration of her beloved
home.
Gaskin can recount
several other inexplicable
incidents in the house.
One was around 2005.
“We were rewaxing
the floors and we looked
back and saw little foot-
prints (in the wax), little
footprints going toward
the window,” she said.
The occurrence sent at
least one of her helpers
scurrying from the
parlor.
LaVyrle Spencer
and Waverley’s ghost
Many are familiar with
the story of a ghostly
child at Waverley Man-
sion near West Point.
Fewer know the magnifi-
cent landmark completed
in 1852 is prominently
featured in New York
Times best-selling
romance writer LaVyrle
Spencer’s 1984 novel
“The Gamble.” Its young
spirit makes an appear-
ance as well.
“LaVyrle Spencer
came to tour the house
when my mother was
alive,” said Melanie
Snow, whose parents,
Robert and Donna Snow,
rescued the plantation
from ruin in the early
1960s.
“She had heard the
story of the little girl and
she told
my mother
that when
she walked
up the long
pathway to
the house,
that this
story just Snow
came to
her, that she had a pic-
ture in her mind of the
main character (for the
book). That by the time
she got to the front door,
her mind had created
the beginning of ‘The
Gamble.’”
Snow, although young,
was at her mother’s side
that day and remembers
Spencer as a lovely lady,
with a lilt in her voice.
Spencer and Donna
Snow spent several hours
together, enjoying each
other’s company as the
popular author absorbed
the setting for much of
her historical romance.

Custom portraits
Visual artists will

Barnard will have nature
and landscape photo-
graphic prints.
Arthur Smith of Fair-
hope, Alabama, will do
16-by-20-inch portraits
in pastels on site, by ap-
pointment. After taking a
photograph of each sub-
ject, Smith usually makes
a preliminary drawing
that evening, followed up
by a brief sitting the next
day. He is then usually
able to complete the por-
trait within an hour or so.
“I’ve always loved to
draw, since I was a little
kid,” said the Troy, Ala-
bama-native with degrees
in art and geology.
Portraits are $100; add
$50 per additional sub-
ject. Make appointments
by contacting Visit Co-
lumbus at 662-329-1191,
or calling 662-574-2036.
“I’m honored and
grateful to be able to take
part in something like
this, and thankful to the
people of Columbus for
welcoming me to their
city,” said Smith, who will
return to Columbus in
early December.
“People coming to Art
’n Antiques will be able
to watch some of these
artists, like Arthur Smith
and Antique Restoration
Studio, at work,” said
Carpenter. Even Bulldog
fans, she added, will have
time Saturday to visit the
show and still attend or
watch Mississippi State’s
game that evening.
