Tuskegee Airmen’s legacy Investigators search

for missing Lowndes woman
to soar on new Air Force jet Dispatch Staff Report

Lowndes County Sher-

First T-7A aircraft are scheduled to arrive at Joint
Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, in 2023
The Associated Press
OPELIKA, Ala. — The Tuskegee
Airmen’s legacy will take flight once
again with the launch of a new Air
Force jet.
The Air Force is honoring the
famed group of airmen with the
naming of its new trainer jet, the
Boeing T-7A, The Opelika-Auburn
News reported.
Military officials last year chose
the T-7A as the next-generation
trainer jet for the Air Force. It will
be known as the Red Hawk and car-
ry the same red-tail markings.
The all-black Tuskegee aviators
broke racial barriers with their
courage and aviation skills. They
were known as the Red Tails be-
cause of the iconic red paint on the
tail of their aircraft.
“The name Red Hawk honors the
legacy of Tuskegee Airmen and pays
homage to their signature red-tailed
aircraft from World War II,” Acting
Secretary of the Air Force Matthew
Donovan said in making the recent
announcement at the 2019 Air Force
Association’s Air, Space and Cyber
Conference in Maryland.
“The name is also a tribute to the
Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, an Amer-
ican fighter aircraft that first flew
in 1938 and was flown by the 99th
Fighter Squadron, the U.S. Army
Air Forces’ first African American
fighter squadron,” he added.
The T-7A will replace Air Edu-
cation and Training Command’s
57-year-old fleet of T-38C Talons.
The first T-7A aircraft and sim-
ulators are scheduled to arrive at
Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph,
Texas, in 2023.
Other bases that eventually will
transition to the new trainer include
Columbus Air Force Base, Missis-
sippi; Laughlin and Sheppard bases
in Texas; and Vance in Oklahoma.
iff’s Office deputies are
searching for a woman
whose family has not seen
her since Monday.
The department issued
a welfare concern Friday
for Rebecca Hemphill, 28.
Hemphill was reported
missing Thursday and
family members said the
last time they saw her was

Miss. task force weighs cost of allowing hemp farming

The Associated Press

JACKSON — One of
many concerns from a task
force in Mississippi study-
ing whether to allow farm-
ers to grow hemp is dis-
tinguishing the legal crop
from illegal marijuana.
News outlets report
Short-term rentals
Continued from Page 1A
of money tailoring the
four-bedroom, four-bath-
room house to Airbnb cus-
tomers.
The city’s final draft of
the unified development
code includes a $300 year-
ly license to host a “short-
term residential rental
property” in a single-fam-
ily home. That includes,
but isn’t limited to, week-
end rentals, game day
rentals and listing such
property on websites such
as Airbnb.
If a homeowner pays
the fee, the proposed code
only allows renting a prop-
erty for up to 30 nights or
10 weekends per year and
requires owners to live in
the houses they offer for
short-term rental.
“I’m going to have to
go a different route if this
passes,” Osborne said.
“I’m not going to be able to
keep it as an Airbnb.”
The goal of the restric-
tions is to keep people
from using single-fami-
ly houses in residential
neighborhoods like hotels,
Mayor Lynn Spruill said.
“Having unknown peo-
ple come in and out of a
resident ia l
neighbor-
hood on a
weekly basis
is not con-
ducive to a
single-fami-
ly, children

kind of neighborhood,”
Spruill said. “You have
people who are not aware
of the community, who
don’t have respect for the
community because they
don’t live there.”
The city will host the
first of several public in-
put sessions for the uni-
fied development code
— which includes several
other requirements for
zoning, building, etc. —
Thursday at the Starkville
Sportsplex. The code will
not become effective until
the board approves it in
December.
Osborne said she and
other local Airbnb hosts
will attend and make their
perspectives known to
city officials.
How Airbnb works
Airbnb allows users to
rent out their properties
— which can be an entire
house, an apartment or
even just a private room
— to guests. The service
the Mississippi Hemp Cul-
tivation Task Force met
Wednesday in Jackson.
The federal government
legalized growing hemp
with the passage of the
2018 farm bill.

ports lab testing is need-
ed to discern hemp from

place where guests can

and book in advance.
Starkville, with its
proximity to Mississippi
State University and its
athletics programs, is a
popular destination on
Airbnb. According to the
Airbnb rental analytics
tool MarketMinder, there
are 160 active rentals in
Starkville, and 83 percent
of them are entire houses,
condominiums or apart-
ments.
A press release from
Airbnb earlier this year
said property owners reg-
istered with the site host-
ed more than 1,700 guests
in the city of Starkville
during MSU’s 2018 foot-
ball season, generating
nearly $300,000 in supple-
mental income for owners.
Osborne charges be-
tween $500 and $600 per
night on MSU home foot-
ball game weekends, $200
per nights on weekends
without home games and
between $85 and $150 per
night on weekdays, she
said. The house can serve
up to 10 guests at once,
according to the online
listing.
How the conversation
started
City officials began
considering placing limits
on short-term house rent-
als in May when Oktibbe-
ha Gardens resident Julia
Baca told the board of
aldermen that roughly 17
guests had stayed at her
neighbors’ house via Airb-
nb in a six-week period.
She expressed concerns
about noise and safety in
the neighborhood with so
many people from outside
coming and going.
“No one would call that
a neighbor,” Baca said at
the board’s May 7 meet-
ing. “One would call that
a hotel.”
Ward 5 Alderman
Hamp Beatty lives in Ba-
ca’s neighborhood, and
“every time you look up
there’s a new person occu-
pying that house,” he said.
Beatty was elected
May 30 in a special elec-
tion, and he said regulat-
ing Airbnbs was one of the
issues on which he ran for
office. He is comfortable
with the proposed regula-
tions and hopes they deter
people from buying hous-
es with the sole purpose of
marijuana. Task force
members are concerned
about the cost associated
with research, regulation
and law enforcement.
Mississippi State Uni-
versity agricultural ex-
pert Wes Burger says
hemp has the potential to
be competitive with the
renting them out, he said.
“That increases de-
mand and drives up the
price of
p r o p e r t y,”
Beatty said.
“ T hat ’s
good for
people that
already own
the proper-
ty and don’t Beatty
have a debt
on it or something, but it’s
not good for people who
are trying to move here
and buy a house.”
Real estate investors
from outside Starkville
should not be driving
property values in the city,
he said.
He cited Sedona, Ari-
zona as a cautionary tale.
The Arizona Republic
reported in January that
short-term vacation rent-
als are one reason housing
has become difficult to
find in Sedona.
Osborne said the re-
strictions as they are pro-
posed would likely cause
rental rates to go down
and impact long-term
rental rates citywide.
She also said limiting the
number of rentable nights
per year could reduce the
city’s tourism revenue via
a domino effect on restau-
rants.
City leaders should be
familiar with the business
and economics of Airbnb
before imposing regula-
tions on it, Osborne said.
“I think, overall, the im-
pact on the city hasn’t re-
ally been investigated, and
I think the theater of Airb-
nb and short-term rentals
hasn’t really been investi-
gated either,” she said.
Some hosts argue the
night limit, others the
license fee
The proposed restric-
tions would not be much
of an issue for Leslie Gray
and Jason Camp, who both
said they rent out their
permanent residences
less often than 10 week-
ends per year.
Gray said she is “on the
fence” about the restric-
tions because some hosts
might genuinely need the
money from their rentals,
either as income or to cov-
er extra costs.
“There’s an opportuni-
ty for somebody to make
a little extra money, and
that money may go toward
back-to-school clothes for

modities. POLITICAL

US probe of vaping illnesses focuses on THC from marijuana

Until cause found, CDC advises Americans
to consider avoiding all vaping products
By MIKE STOBBE
AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK — U.S. health
officials said Friday that their
investigation into an outbreak
of severe vaping-related illness-
es is increasingly focused on
products that contain the mar-
ijuana compound THC.
Most of the 800 people who
got sick vaped THC, the ingre-
dient in marijuana that causes
a high, according to the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and
Prevention. But officials said
they didn’t know if the THC is
the problem or some other sub-
stance added to the vaping liq-
uid, such as thickeners.
“The outbreak currently is
pointing to a greater concern
around THC-containing prod-
ucts,” said the CDC’s Dr. Anne
Schuchat.
So far, investigators have
not identified a particular elec-
tronic cigarette, vaping device,
liquid or ingredient behind
the outbreak. But officials say
patients have mentioned the
name Dank Vapes most fre-
quently. Many of the people
who got sick in Illinois and Wis-
consin said they used prefilled
THC cartridges sold in Dank
Vapes packaging.
“It’s a generic product name
that doesn’t really tie back to
one store or one distributor,”
said Dr. Jennifer Layden, chief
medical officer for the Illinois
Department of Public Health.
“Folks are getting it from
friends or folks on the street,
with no understanding of where
it came from prior to that,” she
said Friday.
Until a cause is pinned down,
the CDC continues to advise
Americans to consider avoid-
ing all vaping products, though
the agency on Friday added the
phrase “particularly those con-
taining THC.”
“We didn’t feel comfortable
dropping the broader recom-
mendation yet,” said Schuchat.
This week, the CDC report-
ed 805 confirmed and probable
cases of the lung illness. Thir-
teen people have died. Only the
U.S. has reported such an out-
break, although Canadian offi-
cials this week confirmed that
country’s first case.
On Friday, the agency pro-
vided more details in two re-
ports:

Large chunk of border wall

funding diverted from tiny Guam
The Senate on Wednesday
passed a measure blocking
president from raiding
the military construction
budget for the wall
By AUDREY McAVOY
The Associated Press
HONOLULU — President Donald
Trump is raising a large chunk of the
money for his border wall with Mexico
by deferring several military construc-
tion projects slated for Guam, a strategic
hub for U.S. forces in the Pacific.
This may disrupt plans to move Ma-
rines to Guam from Japan and to mod-
ernize munitions storage for the Air
Force.
About 7 percent of the funds for the
$3.6 billion wall are being diverted from
eight projects in the U.S. territory, a key
spot in the U.S. military’s efforts to deter
North Korea and counter China’s grow-
ing military.
The administration has vowed it’s
only delaying the spending, not cancel-
ing it. But Democrats in Congress, out-
raged over Trump’s use of an emergency
order for the wall, have promised they
won’t approve money to revive the proj-
ects.
“The fact is, by literally taking that
money after it had been put in place and
using it for something else, you now put
those projects in jeopardy,” said Carl
Baker, executive director of Pacific Fo-
rum, a Honolulu-based foreign policy
think tank.
The Senate on Wednesday passed a
measure blocking Trump from raiding
the military construction budget for the
wall. The Democratic-controlled House
is likely to pass the bill, but Trump is ex-
pected to veto it as he did with an identi-
cal measure in March.
The tiny island of Guam holds a naval
base with fast attack submarines and an
Air Force base with bombers that rotate
in from the mainland.
The U.S. currently plans to start mov-
ing 5,000 Marines there from Okinawa
in southern Japan around 2025. This is
part of a decades-long effort by Tokyo
and Washington to relieve the congested
Japanese island’s burden of hosting half
the U.S. forces stationed in Japan.

US stocks fall; S&P 500 ends

with second straight weekly loss
By ALEX VEIGA
AP Business Writer
Wall Street capped a
choppy week with a sec-
ond straight weekly loss
for the S&P 500 Friday
as worries about a poten-
tial escalation in the trade
war between the U.S. and
China erased early gains.
Technology compa-
nies led the broad slide
as investors weighed a
report saying the Trump
administration is consid-
ering ways to limit U.S.
investments in China.
Bloomberg cited un-
named people familiar
with the administration’s
internal discussions.
Uncertainty over the
long-running trade war
has fueled volatility in the
market and stoked wor-
ries that the impact of tar-
iffs and other tactics em-
ployed by the countries
against each other is ham-
pering U.S. economic and
corporate profit growth.
The possibility that the
U.S. is weighing another
way of applying pressure
on China dampened in-
vestors’ already cautious
optimism that the world’s
two biggest economies
might make progress as
their representatives re-
sume negotiations next
month.
“Here we are, just two
weeks out, and now we’re
doing things to sort of
ruffle feathers again,”
said Randy Frederick,
vice president of trading
& derivatives at Charles
Schwab. “That kind of
spooked the market.”
The S&P 500 index
fell 15.83 points, or 0.5
percent, to 2,961.79. The
benchmark index finished
the week with a 1 percent
loss. Even so, it remains
2.1 percent below its all-
time high set in July.

Roses and thorns

A rose to organizers
of two Lowndes County
candidates forums. The
first forum, Tiffany’s
Tea, will be 4-6 p.m. to-
day at Genesis Church
on 23rd Street North and is a collab-
oration between Columbus-Lowndes
Federation of Democratic Women
and the Memphistown Community
Builders. The second, scheduled to be
held 6-7:30 p.m. Monday at Columbus
Municipal Complex, is put on by the
nonpartisan group, Columbus-Lown-
des County League of Voters. The
election is Nov. 5 and includes compet-
itive races for sheriff, chancery clerk,
county prosecutor, county supervisors
for Districts 1, 2, 3 and 5 and consta-
bles for Districts 1 and 2. Unlike state
and national races, candidates for
these county offices rarely have the re-
sources to get their message out to the
public on a broad scale, which makes
these forums especially important. It’s
a great opportunity for the candidates,
but an even greater opportunity for
voters, allowing them the chance to
become better acquainted with the
candidates and more informed when
they enter the voting booth.
A rose to those
who worked together
to make Friday’s free
concert at the Colum-
bus Riverwalk possible.
Columbus Air Force
Base, which brought the Air Force’s
rock band, “Top Flight,” for its annual
ball on Saturday, generously offered to
put on a free concert for the public on
Friday and the city, working through
Main Street Columbus, who quickly
pulled the logistics together. “Top
Flight” entertained a large audience
and came off without a hitch. The
concert was a great gesture by CAFB,
another example of the strong bonds
that exist between the base and the
community. It was, indeed, a “Top
Flight” event.
A rose to Ethel
Taylor Stewart and Liz
Terry, who emerged
from a field of nine
candidates to qualify
for the Oct. 15 special
election run-off for Columbus Ward
1 city council. Taylor led the way in
Tuesday’s election with 188 votes,
followed by Terry with 124. Since
neither candidate received a majority
of the votes, the top two finishers will
meet in the runoff. We also congrat-
ulate the other seven candidates, for
whom the campaign now ends. Finally,
we encourage Ward 1 voters to do
something they failed to do Tuesday
­— show up. Just 609 ballots were cast
in a ward where there are roughly
2,700 registered voters. So, step up
Ward 1 voters and get to the polls for
this important election.
A rose to residents in
the wake of the current
drought conditions in
the state, which have
led to 13 “burn bans” in
13 Mississippi counties.
Clay County was added to the list on
Friday by the Mississippi Forest Com-
mission. While none of the other Gold-
en Triangle counties have burn bans at
this point, it’s probably a good idea to
act as if they are in place. With weeks
of hot, dry weather the prospects for
serious fires that could endanger prop-
erty and even lives, some restraint is
in order. Even in those counties with a
burn ban, enforcement is difficult. It’s
up to residents to self-enforce to help
prevent tragic fire events. We know
you’ll take that responsibility seriously.

Comments on recent news
Like many Americans, I was not
happy to see the House of Represen-
tatives move closer to formal im-
peachment earlier this week. But the
situation has escalated at a dizzying
pace since - to the point that online
reporters at Fox News (https://
www.foxnews.com/media/plot-twist-
whistle-blower-says-trump-aides-
disturbed-by-ukraine-call) are now
corroborating what hosts on MSNBC
are saying. Who would have ever
predicted that? As Everette Cribb
noted in his September 25th letter to
The Dispatch, though, “these aren’t
normal times.”
I am not shocked that we are
where we are, however. In my view,
President Trump’s actions thus
far almost make his conversation
with President Zelensky of Ukraine
predictable. Still, my reaction is the
result of extreme apprehension and
most definitely not pleasure. Some
Republicans have characterized
Democrats as being thrilled about
the fact that President Trump is
facing possible impeachment. No
doubt there are a few out there that
fail to fully grasp the gravity of this
situation. Not me, though, and no one
else I know. Though I do not agree
with many of President Trump’s
policies - his inattention to the fact
and seriousness of climate change
the most glaring of these differences

Democrats in South’s governor races hit hurdle: Impeachment

‘All of the craziness and gridlock in Washington has created a

parties are coming together to move our state forward’ with subpoenas, Trump impeachment
Mississippi Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Hood The Associated Press

By BRUCE SCHREINER, to launch an impeachment in- on whether he supports im-

MELINDA DESLAT TE and
EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — On
Thursday, as President Donald
Trump mused about a possible
“spy” in the White House, Dem-
ocrats alleged a “cover-up” and
Washington fired up the gears
of impeachment, the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor in
Kentucky, Andy Beshear, was
politely shaking hands at a se-
nior center.
He vowed to crack down on
robocalls that target the elder-
ly and talked about combating
the cost of prescription drugs.
For a few minutes, in a corner of
this center, it was a Trump-free
zone.
Beshear and other Southern
Democrats running for gover-
nor this fall want to keep it that
way.
Keeping distance
from turmoil
While Democrats in Wash-
ington charge ahead with an
impeachment inquiry, their
party’s candidates for governor
in Kentucky, Mississippi and
Louisiana are doing all they can
to steer the conversation away
from Trump and toward safer
ground back home. As red-state
Democrats, their best chance
at winning is to sell their plat-
forms and personalities — not
their partisan affiliation — and
keep their distance from the
turmoil in Washington.
House Democrats’ decision
quiry has undoubtedly made
that harder. The ugly debate
suddenly threatens to turn their
races into the first test of the
unpredictable politics of the im-
peachment, a gauge on how ef-
fectively Democrats can focus
voters on issues amid partisan
warfare.
For Republicans who’ve been
working to nationalize their
races all along, the impeach-
ment news couldn’t have come
at a better time. In Kentucky,
Beshear is locked in a close race
with Gov. Matt Bevin, a Trump
loyalist with a slash-and-burn
style similar to the president’s.
‘Republicans are circling
the wagons’
“Republicans are circling
the wagons, and Bevin is help-
ing lead that charge,” longtime
Kentucky political commen-
tator Al Cross said in an inter-
view. “He’s likely to benefit, at
least at the start. But nobody
knows how this thing is going
to play out.”
Trump, who easily carried
Kentucky in 2016, remains a
commanding presence in the
bluegrass state. His appear-
ance at a mid-October rally for
an endangered Republican con-
gressman was seen as crucial
in the Kentucky incumbent’s
reelection in 2018. Bevin often
plays up his ties to the president
in campaign ads, tweets and
speeches.
The state Republican Party
quickly challenged Beshear to
“stop hiding” and take a stand
peaching Trump.
Beshear, a state attorney
general whose affable demean-
or cuts a contrast to Bevin’s
bombast, wouldn’t bite.
“As Kentucky’s top prosecu-
tor, I make my decisions based
on facts and evidence. And all
I have right now are news sto-
ries,” he said in an interview,
making no reference to the
two public documents fueling
charges that Trump abused his
power by asking a foreign lead-
er to investigate a political rival.
The White House has released
a loose transcript of a phone
call in which Trump pressured
Ukraine’s president to investi-
gate Joe Biden. The call is part
of a whistleblower’s complaint,
which is also public.
“My hope, if they choose to
proceed, is that they set it up
in a non-partisan way that is
focused on getting to the truth
and evidence, and not scoring
political points,” Beshear said.
Asked if he thinks Trump
committed impeachable offens-
es, Beshear said he didn’t “have
evidence or facts to make that
conclusion.”
In Louisiana, Democratic
Gov. John Bel Edwards was
directly critical of his party’s
move toward impeachment. He
said the probe makes it harder
for Congress to work across
party lines to deal with the na-
tion’s business.
“This is at least a distraction
that’s going to keep the federal
government from actually gov-
erning, and you know it’s hard

At the end of a stormy week of revelation and recrimination,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi framed the impeachment inquiry
as a somber moment for a divided nation.

Researchers question
Census Bureau’s new
approach to privacy
Federal law bars census officials from
disclosing any individual’s responses
By JENNIFER
McDERMOT T
and MIKE SCHNEIDER
The Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I.
— In an age of rapidly ad-
vancing computer power,
the U.S. Census Bureau
recently undertook an ex-
periment to see if census
answers could threaten
the privacy of the people
who fill out the question-
naires.
The agency went back
to the last national head-
count, in 2010, and re-
constructed individual
profiles from thousands of
publicly available tables.
It then matched those re-
cords against other pub-
lic population data. The
result: Officials were able
to infer the identities of 52
million Americans.
Confronted with that
discovery, the bureau
announced that it would
add statistical “noise” to
the 2020 data, essential-
ly tinkering with its own
numbers to preserve pri-
vacy. But that idea cre-
ates its own problems,
and social scientists, re-
districting experts and
others worry that it will
make next year’s census
less accurate. They say
the bureau’s response is
overkill.
“This is a brand new,
radically more conserva-
tive definition of privacy,”
University of Minnesota
demographer Steven Rug-
gles said.
Federal law bars census
officials from disclosing
any individual’s respons-
es. But data-crunching
computers can tease out
likely identities from the
broader census results
when combined with oth-
er personal information.
Some critics fear the
agency’s changes could
make it harder to draw
new congressional and
legislative districts accu-
rately. Others worry that
research on immigration,
demographics, the opioid
epidemic and declining
life expectancy will be
hindered, particularly
when it involves less pop-
ulated areas.
If the change had been
in place four years ago,
Ruggles said, he would
not have been able to
conduct a 2015 study on
the impact of declines in
young men’s incomes on
marriage.
With more and more
data sets available to the
public with a quick down-
load, it has become easier
than ever to match infor-
mation with real names.
That means aggregated
answers to census ques-
tions involving race,
housing and relationships
could lead to individuals.
The fear is that adver-
tisers, market research-
ers or anybody with know-
how and curiosity could
use data to reconstruct
the identities of census re-
spondents.

Rebuilding

and would probably work on
a lot more, but a lot of them
didn’t have insurance or not
enough insurance. That makes
it hard.”
But help is on the way from
a couple of different sources.
On Tuesday, Community
Recovery of Lowndes County,
a nonprofit made up of local
citizens that formed soon after
the tornado hit, began work on
its first major project.
Three days earlier, the Fed-
eral Emergency Management
Agency reversed an earlier
decision and will now offer
funding and other assistance
to private property owners.
FEMA opened a disaster relief
center at East Columbus Gym
on Friday to begin processing
applications for assistance.
The events of the past week
have given people like Greg
Mixon and Barbara Ann Low-
ery a sense of renewed hope.
‘I had nearly given up’
Since it was founded a
month after the tornado, Com-
munity Recovery of Lowndes
County has approved 48 appli-
cations for assistance. Backed
by a $250,000 grant from
FEMA, which is administered
through MEMA, the nonprofit
has completed work on nine
projects, mostly small-scale
repairs.
But this week, it started
work on a bigger project, de-
molishing a home on Seventh
Street North to prepare for its
first rebuild.
Mennonite Recovery Ser-
vices will take it from there.
During the week of Nov.
2-9, the Mississippi/Louisiana
Mennonite Recovery team,
along with 32 Amish/Menno-
nite volunteers from northern
Indiana, will arrive in Colum-
bus, one of the 15 projects
Mennonite Recovery Services
will work on this fall in the U.S.
and Canada. Christle Gehman,
public relations director at
Mennonite Recovery Services
headquarters in Pennsylvania,
said the group may return
Will Greenlaw, who has been a contractor in Columbus for 27 years, said he’s made repairs to a doz-
en homes damaged by the Feb. 23 tornado. He said he would likely pick up more work if homeowners
had adequate homeowners insurance.
to Columbus the week after
Christmas if there are more
projects to work on.
During its November week
in the city, the group of about
60 Mennonite workers will re-
place 12 roofs and rebuild one
home, Gehman said.
That one home, which will
be rebuilt on the site CRLC
cleared this week, belongs to
Mixon.
“It’s still kind of hard to
believe,” Mixon said. “I didn’t
think there was any way this
would happen.”
Mixon grew up in the little
home on Seventh Avenue,
becoming the owner when his
mother, Johnnie Harris, bought
a home on Bluecutt Road.
“I had lived there, off and
on, for more than 40 years,”
Mixon said.
Mixon was at home when
the tornado hit, crouching in
the tub as the storm pounded
his home.
Slim Smith Dispatch Staff
“The house was ruined,
so I’ve been staying with my
mother,” he said. “I wouldn’t
have a roof over my head if it
wasn’t for her.”
Without homeowners’ insur-
ance, Mixon simply didn’t have
the money needed to rebuild.
Through word of mouth,
Mixon heard about CRLC and
applied for help.
“They came out about a
week later for an inspection,
to see if the house could be
repaired or if it would have to
be torn down,” Mixon said.
“I was pretty sure it couldn’t
be rebuilt — too much water
damage.”
After several months of not
hearing anything, Mixon was
informed his application had
been accepted.
He could be in his new home
by Thanksgiving.
“I had nearly given up,” he
said. “It still seems almost too
good to be true.”
A ‘blessing’
As the weather deteriorat-
ed on the Saturday afternoon
of Feb. 23, Lowery and her
husband, Charles Lowery Jr.,
decided to leave their home
on 14th Street North and seek
shelter on Southside.
It proved to be a wise deci-
sion.
“When we came back later
that night, we just couldn’t
believe it,” Barbara Ann said.
“The house was just destroyed.
It was devastating.”
For a month, the Lowerys
stayed in a hotel before finally
finding a rental home.
Going from homeowners
to renters was a depressing
thought.
“It’s really been hard,” she
said. “After all this time, we
still didn’t know what to do.
We had some insurance, but it
wasn’t enough to rebuild. What
could we do?”
The answer to that question
may be on the horizon.
Lowery first heard about
FEMA’s decision to provide
assistance on Wednesday. By
Thursday afternoon, she had
already registered with FEMA
and went to the disaster recov-
ery center Saturday to begin
her application.
“Nothing is guaranteed, I
know,” she said. “We love our
house and our neighborhood
and want to rebuild. We just
didn’t see how. Now, it feels
like that might happen, after
all.
“That would be a blessing,”
she added.

TIGERS CLAW DAWGS
Auburn quarterback Bo Nix scores a touchdown against Mississippi State during the first quarter Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama.
MSU defense thrashed in rout at Auburn
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
AUBURN, Ala. — While No. 7 Auburn’s famed
eagle, Nova, flew his weekly pregame loops
around interior airspace at Jordan-Hare Stadium,
it was the Tiger offense that ran circles around
the Mississippi State in Saturday’s 56-23 Bulldog
loss.
Facing its first true road game of the season,
MSU’s self-anointed “bend don’t break” defense
spent virtually the entire night breaking as Au-
burn notched 42 first-half points, including 21
straight to open the game.
“We went into the week talking about how
small the margin of error is,” coach Joe Moorhead
said. “And to come out and spot them 21 before
the band even gets in their seats, you don’t give
yourself a chance — you’re fighting out of the cor-
ner for the whole game.”

Sadly for anyone wearing a Maroon and

the rest of the evening in the Tigers’ 56-23

After taking the hit like a champ, the ador-

Starkville downs South Panola in back-and-forth affair
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — just three plays later —
Standing in the shotgun
flanked by two running
backs, Starkville High
School junior quarter-
back Luke Altmyer took
a knee.
As the final seconds of
Friday’s 24-20 win over
South Panola (5-1) ticked
off the clock, Altmyer
turned toward the side-
line.
With the ball in his
left hand and a clenched
fist in his right, he began
a subtle fist pump before
slapping hands with head
coach Chris Jones.
The Yellow Jackets (4-
2) had survived.
“It definitely wasn’t
pretty,” Altmyer conced-
ed postgame. “South
Panola is going to do big
things this year, and we
might see them down
the road soon, but I’m
proud of the way this
team fought. These close
games are fun; they’re
nerve-wracking; excited
for these guys.”
In a game that was full
of back-and-forth play,
Starkville’s night started
from behind.
South Panola leapt out
to a 12-0 lead courtesy of a
3-yard touchdown plunge

defensive back then di-
aled up the trickeration,
taking a handoff to the
right side of the formation
before delivering a strike
to Martez Clark for a 61-
yard touchdown.
“It was kind of ugly at
first,” Jones said. “But at
the end of the day it’s foot-
ball. That’s a really good
team; we’ve got a really
good team. Everyone is
going to have a chance
to make plays, but it’s all
about staying focused and
weathering the storm.”
West Point erases 17-point deficit, stuns Lafayette
By GARRICK HODGE
ghodge@cdispatch.com
OXFORD — When the
final second ticked off the
clock Friday night, elation
found its way to the West
Point sideline.
The Green Wave
had overcome a 24-7
second-half deficit and
stunned Lafayette with a
28-24 victory in Oxford
in their region opener.
While the Commodores
were in a state of shock,
West Point players sprint-
ed their way to midfield
to celebrate the achieve-
ment.
“We handled adversity
about as well as we ever
have,” West Point coach
Chris Chambless said.
“We settled in and settled
down.”
Despite the come-
back victory, Friday’s
rematch of last year’s
Class 5A playoff match-
up was downright sloppy
at times. A combined 41
penalties were called, 26
on Lafayette (including
eight personal fouls) and
15 on West Point.
“I about lost it a few
times,” Chambless said.
After Lafayette kicked
a field goal on its first
series of the night, West
Point answered with a
scoring drive of its own,
cashing in on a 6-yard
touchdown run from run-
ning back Jimothy Mays.
On the Green Wave’s
next offensive series,
quarterback Brandon
Harris threw an inter-
ception around midfield,
opening the floodgates

for the Lafayette offense.
The Commodores con-
verted the turnover into
points with an eight-yard
touchdown run from Ran-
dy Anderson, then used a
trick play to score on their
next series. Lafayette’s
Tyrus Williams lined up
under center, threw a
bass behind the line of
scrimmage to Anderson,
who proceeded to fire a
strike downfield Brendan
Toles. The Commodores
led West Point 17-7 at half-
time.
Anderson kept it roll-
ing for Lafayette with his
third touchdown of the
night on the opening se-
ries of the third quarter,
but then West Point went
to work.
The Green Wave re-
duced the deficit to 10
points after a 4-yard
touchdown run from Dan-
tariyus Cannon late in the
third quarter. Cannon fin-
ished with 101 yards on 11
carries.
“Coach told us to fight
hard and push hard,”
Cannon said. “We had to
stay together, that’s all we
thought about.”
Cannon added his sec-
ond touchdown of the
night in the fourth quar-
ter to cut the Lafayette
lead to 24-21 and the de-
fense responded with a
stop to give the Green
Wave the ball with 5 min-

Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Jaylen Waddle gets knocked out of bounds at the goal line by Ole Miss defensive back Keidron Smith (20) during the second quarter
Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
BIG DAYS FROM Tua, Smith lead Crimson Tide over Rebels

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
— Tua Tagovailoa and
DeVonta Smith hooked up
for a 74-yard touchdown
strike barely a minute
into the game.
Turns out they were

Tagovailoa and Smith
partnered on five touch-

them set a few school

“He was the person

BULLDOG BULLETS
MSU defense disappears
in thrashing by Auburn
By Garrick Hodge
ghodge@cdispatch.com
AUBURN, Ala. — There’s not a whole
lot of positive things to report from Jor-
dan-Hare Stadium from a Mississippi
State perspective.
The defense allowed an astounding 56
points in a 56-23 defeat by No. 7 Auburn,
and outside of a few bright spots, the of-
fense was suffocated for most of the night.
This was, by far, the worst loss of the
Joe Moorhead era. More on that in a col-
umn later.
A quick programming note for those
who are new here: Bulldog Bullets will
be a weekly recurring article filled with
short observations and commentary writ-
ten throughout Mississippi State football
games that posts shortly after the final
gun.
To the Bulldog Bullets:
n Look, I think deep down everyone
expected this defense to take a step back
after losing three first-round picks. Re-
gression seemed inevitable. Forgivable,
even. And it should be said Auburn is a
terrific football team fully deserving of its
No. 7 ranking. But allowing 56 points is
flat out unacceptable.
n No other way to say it. Mississippi
State’s tackling was abysmal.
n It’s really unfortunate how this
year has unfolded for quarterback Tom-
my Stevens. You can tell the graduate
transfer really wants to be out there, but
it’s also clear as day his shoulder is still
not healthy. Maybe it will be fully healed
for MSU’s next game against Tennessee
after the bye week, but this is the third
game this season Stevens started, then
had to exit because he re-aggravated his
shoulder.
n If there’s any silver lining to take
from Stevens’ injury, it’s that true fresh-
man Garrett Shrader continues to show
flashes of brilliance at quarterback. He
still makes silly rookie mistakes and is
clearly in need of more reps, but the in-
tangibles, running ability and arm talent
are there. Facing an elite defense like
Auburn’s will only prepare him for big
games down the road in a year or two.
n Two delay of game penalties on the
Bulldogs’ opening offensive series. Then
Auburn’s first play of scrimmage is a 30-
yard touchdown run. Not ideal.
n Someone better check on poor Bul-
ly. The lovable pooch got run over by Au-
burn running back JaTarvious Whitlow

on the Tigers’ opening series. Bully left
the game but thankfully later returned.
n Auburn only needed eight plays to
go up 21-0.
n It didn’t matter in the grand scheme
of things, but Osirus Mitchell’s one-hand-
ed snag is about as good of a catch as
you’ll see.
n Another game, another instance
where Kylin Hill leaps over a defensive
back. Other than that highlight play, Hill
didn’t find much running room against
the daunting Auburn front seven.
n Shrader should have had his second
touchdown pass of the night on a slant
route from Jaquarius Lawrence in the sec-
ond quarter, but Lawrence couldn’t haul
the pass in. The Bulldogs had to settle for
a field goal instead.
n There’s no doubt his teammates ap-
preciate the effort Shrader gives every
game, but diving for extra yards on first
down at the 6-yard line seems ill advised.
It resulted in a very costly fumble.
n I don’t understand how Erroll
Thompson was called for targeting just
before the half. Could it have been ruled a
personal foul for a late hit? Absolutely. But
targeting? Not a chance.
n An unsportsmanlike penalty from
Moorhead wiped out what would have
been a first down after a Auburn defend-
er was penalized for hitting Shrader late.
The game was long over by then, but it
just adds to a frustrating night all around
for the Maroon and White.
n The Bulldogs’ defense has now
forced a turnover in 21 straight games.
n Closing thought: Mississippi State
played awful Saturday. I think we’ve es-
tablished that by now. But I’m going to
wait a few weeks before making assump-
tions about what this team is going to be.
College football is so week-to-week some-
times it’s not even funny.
Example A: Texas A&M lost to Auburn
by a touchdown in College Staion last
week, then barely survived the hapless
Razorbacks on Saturday.
Example B: Former Purdue quarter-
back David Blough threw for a whopping
48 yards against Eastern Michigan in
2018 before torching Missouri’s second-
ary by throwing for 572 yards a week later.
The moral of the story: I’m going to
need to see more games before complete-
ly writing this team off, but the Bulldogs’
performance against an elite SEC team
doesn’t inspire confidence.

Shrader inconsistent
but offers optimism in
first road appearance
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
AUBURN, Ala. — While Mississippi State freshman quarterback Gar-
rett Shrader’s gritty play and high-flying antics have earned praise and
notoriety nationwide over the past few weeks, his second quarter dive Sat-
urday cost him the ball and with it MSU’s feigning chance at an upset over
No. 7 Auburn.
Trailing 35-9 with the ball at the Tigers 8-yard line, Shrader took the
snap, sprinted to his right and made a last ditch leap to avoid contact at his
knees.
Colliding with the vaunted Auburn defense, the ball popped out and was
scooped up by Tiger defensive back Jeremiah Dinson.
“That hurt,” Shrader conceded of coughing up the football postgame.
And though his effort on the play wasn’t faulted, it was a staunch remind-
er of Shrader’s youthful naivety.
Sans an interception against Kentucky and an ill-advised run-pass-op-
tion toss that nearly left junior tight end Dontae Jones in a coffin, the Char-
lotte native has shown a maturity beyond his years in his now four games
of action.
But Saturday was different.
Facing one of the nation’s stiffest defenses in his first career collegiate
road game, Shrader twice missed a streaking Stephen Guidry on over-
throws that were assuredly touchdowns should he have added a touch of of
air under the tosses.
He also overshot Deddrick Thomas midway through the fourth quarter
on a corner route that likely would have resulted in a 20-plus yard gain.
Asked postgame what he saw on the throws to Guidry, Shrader shoul-
dered the blame.
“He was there; I just missed,” he said through a sigh. “It came out a lot
harder than I thought it did. Not enough air, not enough touch ... That’s just
a play you’ve got to capitalize on.”
But for all the inconsistencies, there were plenty of positives to glean.
Trailing by 40 in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, he hit JaVonta
Payton for a 30-yard completion before striding into the Auburn end zone
for a 7-yard rushing score for the final touchdown of the night.
“We came in at halftime and said, ‘Hey, we ain’t looking at the score.
What I want to see is us maintain composure, and I want us to compete for
30 more minutes,’” coach Joe Moorhead said in reference to a question on
Shrader’s last-ditch effort. “And I think we did that down to the last whistle.”
In all, Shrader finished the night 12 of 23 for 209 yards and two touch-
downs and added another 89 yards and a touchdown on 16 rushing attempts.
“I think you’re really seeing the potential and promise of Shrader,” Moor-
head added.
With Tommy Stevens leaving his third game in four outings due to inju-
ry combined with Shrader’s recent success, the MSU quarterback room is
decidedly unsettled.
One complicating factor is Shrader has now participated in four games
this season, meaning if he makes another appearance he will not be eligible
for a redshirt. That said, Moorhead has been staunch in that he will play
personnel who can help the team win.
Moorhead has also long spoke on his affinity for Shrader dating back to
his days at Penn State. And while Saturday offered a handful of glimpses at
the issues a freshman quarterback endures, Shrader is proving the future
may be now in Starkville.
“I think he played a solid game once again,” Moorhead said. “He made a
couple freshman mistakes there down on the goal line not tucking it high
and tight, overthrew a couple guys who were dropped out of a helicopter,
screaming open down the field, but that’s going to happen sometimes with
a freshman.
I think his game and his performance is something for people to look
forward to because he’s going to be a special player.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: UTEP AT SOUTHERN MISS

Abraham throws for three scores; Golden Eagles roll to victory

The Associated Press
HAT TIESBURG — Jack Abraham
passed for 351 yards and three touch-
downs, and Southern Mississippi
rolled to a 31-13 victory over UTEP in
a Conference USA opener on Saturday.
The Golden Eagles (3-2) took the
lead for good on their first possession.
Abraham hit De’Michael Harris for a
74-yard scoring strike on
third-and-14 for a 7-0 lead.
Southern Miss made it
14-0 after Jordan Mitch-
ell blocked a punt and
recovered the ball at the
Abraham UTEP 2-yard line. Harris
ran it in two plays later.
The Miners (1-3) put together two long
drives in the second quarter but had to
settle for two Gavin Baechle field goals
and trailed 24-6 at halftime.
Kai Locksley broke loose for a 63-
yard touchdown run on UTEP’s first
play of the third quarter to get the Min-
ers within 24-13, but Abraham direct-
ed a 10-play, 82-yard drive, capped by
his 6-yard TD toss to Jaylond Adams to
provide the final margin of victory.
Locksley completed 8 of 15 passes
for 109 yards and led the Miners with
114 yards rushing on 12 carries. The
rest of UTEP’s rushers managed just
12 yards on 13 carries.
Kevin Perkins and Harris combined
to rush for 127 yards on 22 totes for
Southern Miss.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Top 25 ROUNDUP

Nell Redmond/USA TODAY Sports

North Carolina running back Javonte Williams fights for yards against the Clemson defense in the second half at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Clemson holds off upset-minded Heels

No. 1 Clemson 21,
North Carolina 20
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C.
— Clemson stuffed North
Carolina’s 2-point con-
version attempt with 1:17
left, and the No. 1 Tigers
held off the Tar Heels 21-
20 on Saturday.
The Tigers (5-0, 3-0
Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence) had trouble all day
in trying to extend their
school-record winning
streak to 20 games. They
didn’t go ahead for good
until Trevor Lawrence hit
Tee Higgins on a 38-yard
touchdown pass with 9:54
left, then came up with
the stop after the Tar
Heels went for the lead in-
stead of a tie after Javonte
Williams’ short scoring
run.
The Tigers strung out
Sam Howell’s option run
to the right, with Xavier
Thomas, James Skalski
and Nolan Turner combin-
ing to bring down Howell
as he turned toward the
goal line.
Howell tried to pitch
the ball back to Dazz
Newsome as he was going
down, but Newsome had
nowhere to go near the
sideline and was pushed
out of bounds to put the
Tar Heels (2-3, 1-1) short
and effectively clinch
the win for Clemson —
though it was far tough-
er than expected for the
27-point road favorite.
The Tar Heels fell to
0-11 against No. 1-ranked
teams in The Associat-
ed Press college football
poll.
No. 5 Ohio State 48,
Nebraska 7
LINCOLN, Neb. —
Justin Fields threw for
three touchdowns and
ran for another for Ohio
State, and Nebraska quar-
terback Adrian Martinez
was intercepted on three
of the Cornhuskers’ first
four series.
Ohio State (5-0, 2-0
Big Ten) scored on six
straight possessions and
led 38-0 after a dizzying
first half.
Nebraska (3-2, 1-1)
didn’t go over 100 yards of
total offense until late in
the third quarter.
Fields, the transfer
from Georgia who has
played himself into the
first tier of Heisman Tro-
phy candidates, threw for
212 yards and kept alive
his streak of no intercep-
tions this season. He add-
ed 72 yards rushing. He
now has had a hand in 23
touchdowns, 16 through
the air.
J.K. Dobbins ran for
177 yards and a TD on 24
carries and became the
11th player in Ohio State
history to go over 3,000
career rushing yards.
No. 6 Oklahoma 55,
Texas Tech 15
NORMAN, Okla. —
Jalen Hurts passed for a
career-high 415 yards and
threw three touchdown
passes in Oklahoma’s vic-
tory over Texas Tech.
Hurts also ran for 70
yards and another score
for the Sooners (4-0, 1-0
Big 12). The senior trans-
fer from Alabama had 485
yards of total offense, the
eighth-most in school his-
tory.
CeeDee Lamb had ca-
reer highs of 185 yards
receiving and three
touchdowns, Charleston
Rambo had 122 yards
receiving on just two
catches and Trey Sermon
ran for 76 yards and two
scores for Oklahoma.
The Sooners, who en-
tered the game leading
the nation in total offense,
gained 642 yards. They
have totaled at least 600
yards in each game this
season.
Jett Duffey passed for
120 yards and SaRodor-
ick Thompson ran for 96
yards for Texas Tech (2-2,
0-1).
Hurts passed for 306
yards and two touch-
downs and ran eight times
for 60 yards and two more
scores in the first half to
help Oklahoma take a 34-
10 lead.
No. 8 Wisconsin 24,
Northwestern 15
MADISON, Wis. —
Jonathan Taylor ran for
119 yards and his 11th
touchdown of the season,
and Wisconsin got two
scores from its defense.
Taylor carried 26 times
to help Wisconsin (4-0,
2-0 Big Ten) avenge its
31-17 loss to the Wildcats
last season. The junior
reached 100 yards rush-
ing for the 26th time in 31
career games and moved
into fourth place on the
Badgers’ career rushing
list (4,730).
After allowing 81 yards
rushing through the first
three games, the Wiscon-
sin defense surrendered
97 yards on the ground to
Northwestern (1-3, 0-2).
No. 9 Florida 38,
Towson 0
GAINESVILLE, Fla.
— Kyle Trask threw for
two touchdowns and
ran for another, helping
Florida beat lower-divi-
sion Towson for its ninth
straight victory.
Trask completed 15
consecutive passes to
open the game, giving
him 18 straight comple-
tions and breaking Chris
Leak’s mark (17) set
against Wyoming in 2005.
Trask’s hot streak end-
ed with an incompletion
to Jacob Copeland early
in the third quarter. He
responded with a perfect
throw to Kyle Pitts in the
corner of the end zone for
his second TD pass of the
afternoon.
Trask finished 18 of
20 for 188 yards for the
Gators (5-0). Towson
dropped to 2-3.
No. 10 Notre Dame 35,
No. 18 Virginia 20
SOUTH BEND, Ind.
— Julian Okwara had
three sacks of Notre
Dame’s eight sacks and
caused a fumble that was
returned for a touchdown
as the Fighting Irish over-
came a halftime deficit to
beat Virginia.
The Fighting Irish (3-
1), coming off a 23-14 loss
at No. 3 Georgia, trailed
17-14 at the break and
then had the Cavaliers (4-
1) complete a successful
onside kick to open the
second half. The Notre
Dame defense held, set-
ting the tone for the sec-
ond half.
Jamir Jones started the
Irish defensive onslaught
in the third quarter when
he sacked and stripped
Virginia’s Bryce Perkins
of the football and defen-
sive tackle Myron Tagov-
ailoa-Amosa recovered it
in midair before rumbling
48 yards to the Virginia 7.
Tony Jones, who had
three touchdowns and
a season-high 131 yards
on 18 carries, scored two
plays later from the 2 to
give the Irish a 21-17 lead.
No. 14 Iowa 48,
Middle Tennessee 3
IOWA CITY, Iowa —
Nate Stanley threw for
276 yards and two touch-
downs, Toren Young
added a career-high 131
yards rushing and Iowa
improved to 4-0 for the
third time in 10 years.
Brandon Smith caught
both of Stanley’s TD
throws. Iowa gained 644
yards, its most in coach
Kirk Ferentz’s 21 sea-
sons in charge. Iowa had
358 yards in the first half
and scored on its first
four drives, a stretch
headlined by an 18-yard-
er from Stanley to Smith
that made it 24-0 midway
through the second quar-
ter.
Asher O’Hara was 15
of 22 for 110 yards for
Middle Tennessee (1-3).
No. 20 Michigan 52,
Rutgers 0
ANN ARBOR, Mich.
— Shea Patterson ac-
counted for three touch-
downs in the first half
and ran for a fourth score
in the third quarter for
Michigan to rout Rutgers
52-0 on Saturday.
The Wolverines (3-1,
1-1 Big Ten) enjoyed a
confidence-boosting win
following a humiliating
loss at Wisconsin. The
Scarlet Knights (1-3, 0-2)
have not won a confer-
ence game since the 2017
season.
Patterson played two-
plus quarters and was 17
of 23 for 276 yards with
one TD and one intercep-
tion.
No. 22 UCF 56,
Connecticut 21
ORLANDO, Fla. —
Dillon Gabriel threw
for 281 yards and three
touchdowns to help UCF
rebound from its first reg-
ular-season loss in nearly
three years with a rout
of Connecticut to begin
American Athletic Con-
ference play.
The two-time defend-
ing AAC champions im-
proved to 29-2 since the
start of 2017, bouncing
back from a 35-34 loss at
Pittsburgh that stopped a
league- and school-record
25-game regular-season
win streak.
Gabriel completed 11
of 16 passes without an
interception for UCF, and
he threw TD passes of 73,
16 and 13 yards to Gabriel
Davis while UCF (4-1, 1-0)
built a 42-0 halftime lead.
UConn (1-3, 0-1) fell to
0-7 in ACC openers and
has lost 12 consecutive
conference games.
No. 23 Texas A&M 31,
Arkansas 27
ARLINGTON, Texas
— Quartney Davis caught
two of Kellen Mond’s
three touchdown passes,
including the go-ahead
score Texas A&M.
After Mond’s pass was
picked off in the end zone,
the Razorbacks failed
to get a first down and
punted after Ben Hicks
was sacked at the 2. That
set up the short drive for
Mond’s 3-yard TD pass
to Davis with 12:21 left
that put Texas A&M (3-2,
1-1 Southeastern Confer-
ence) ahead 28-24.
The Razorbacks (2-
3, 0-2) lost their 13th
consecutive SEC game,
including all 10 under
second-year coach Chad
Morris. They have lost
eight in a row against Tex-
as A&M since the Aggies
left the Big 12.
No. 25 Michigan St. 40,
Indiana 31
EAST LANSING,
Mich. — Matt Coghlin
made a tiebreaking 21-
yard field goal with 5 sec-
onds remaining to help
Michigan State beat Indi-
ana.
After Coghlin’s kick
gave the Spartans (4-1,
2-0 Big Ten) a 34-31 lead,
Indiana tried to lateral its
way down the field on its
final offensive play, but
that resulted in a fumble
that Michigan State re-
covered for a touchdown.
Brian Lewerke threw
for 300 yards and three
touchdowns for the Spar-
tans, who held off the up-
set-minded Hoosiers (3-2,
0-2) on a rare day when
Michigan State’s defense
struggled. Michael Penix
Jr. returned for Indiana
after missing the previ-
ous two games with an
undisclosed injury — and
he gave the Spartans fits,
completing 20 passes in a
row during one stretch.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: METS 3, BRAVES 0

Alonso hits 53rd HR, sets rookie

record as Mets blank Braves
“I was just kind of thinking about all the greats in the
game of baseball. I was thinking about guys like Babe
Ruth, Ted Williams, guys like Aaron Judge.”
Mets’ Pete Alonso

The Associated Press starts since his return on Aug. 6.

NEW YORK — Pete Alonso hit his
53rd home run to break the rookie record
Yankees star Aaron Judge set in 2017, and
the New York Mets beat the playoff-bound
Atlanta Braves 3-0 on Saturday night.
A 24-year-old who debuted on opening
day, Alonso launched a 93 mph fastball
on a 1-2 count from former All-Star Mike
Foltynewicz just to the right of straight-
away center field. The solo shot in the
third boosted the lead to 3-0 and followed
a two-run homer earlier in the inning by
light-hitting backup catcher René Rivera.
As Alonso’s 415-foot drive landed in
the seats, the Home Run Derby cham-
pion raised both arms in triumph while
running to first base. Mets teammates
came out of the dugout to congratulate
him, and the crowd of 32,210 at Citi Field
gave a standing ovation to a player nick-
named Polar Bear during spring training
by teammate Todd Frazier.
“It’s surreal. It was almost like an out-
of-body experience,” Alonso said. “Unbe-
lievable moment.
“This is more than a dream. This
is more than fantasy. I can’t put it into
words.”
Alonso raised both arms again, tilted
his head back and looked skyward as he
stood in front of the dugout. Overcome
with emotion, he had tears in his eyes
when he went to first base in the fourth.
“I was just kind of thinking about all
the greats in the game of baseball. I was
thinking about guys like Babe Ruth, Ted
Williams, guys like Aaron Judge,” Alonso
said, “and the fact that I’m ahead of those
guys as a rookie, it’s mind-blowing.”
He heads into the final day of the reg-
ular season leading the majors in hom-
ers, four ahead of Cincinnati’s Eugenio
Suárez. No rookie since 1900 has won an
outright home run title in the big leagues.
Alonso has already set franchise re-
cords for homers, total bases (347) and
extra-base hits (85). He has 120 RBIs and
102 runs, becoming the first Mets rookie
to reach triple digits in both categories.
The home run was his 11th of September.
Steven Matz (11-10) allowed two hits
and five walks in six innings, finishing
with a winning record for the first time
since his first full season in 2016. Jeurys
Familia, Brad Brach and Edwin Díaz fin-
ished the three-hitter. Díaz struck out
two in a perfect ninth for his 26th save in
33 chances, his first save since Aug. 15 —
also against the Braves.
Foltynewicz (8-6) gave up three runs
and three hits in his final start for the NL
East champions before the Division Se-
ries against St. Louis or Milwaukee.
An All-Star last year who started the
Division Series opener against the Los
Angeles Dodgers, Foltynewicz was both-
ered by elbow discomfort during spring
training, was demoted to the minor
leagues and made his first four starts for
Triple-A Gwinnett. Recalled by Atlanta,
he went 2-5 with a 6.37 ERA in 11 outings
and got sent down in late June for five
more outings with the Stripers.
Foltynewicz had been 6-0 in nine
Rivera’s home run, on a hanging slid-
er, was his first since Aug. 15 last year for
the Los Angeles Angels off San Diego’s
Kirby Yates,
Playoff plans
Atlanta’s playoff rotation lines up to
have left-hander Dallas Keuchel (8-8)
start the opener, with Foltynewicz and
rookie right-hander Mike Soroka (13-4)
likely to follow. Manager Brian Snitker
says the order won’t be finalized until
Monday at the earliest, and he still isn’t
sure whether to include 11 or 12 pitchers
on his roster.
“I don’t know if we’re a finished prod-
uct yet. We’re still young and talented,”
Snitker said. “Honestly, I’m not so sure
these guys didn’t start the year expecting
to do this. Nobody else did. I think they
did. Everybody else picked us to finish
fourth, I think.”
Looking ahead
Former Yankees manager Joe Girardi,
who may be among the candidates to re-
place Mickey Callaway if the Mets make
a change, was at Citi Field broadcasting
for Fox.
Slumping
Atlanta 1B Freddie Freeman was 1 for
3 with a walk and two strikeouts, a day
after returning from four days off to rest
his sore right elbow. Freeman has not
homered since Sept. 1 and entered in a
2-for-31 slide.
Donating
Alonso will donate the 9/11 tribute
cleats he wore in a game this month to the
9/11 Memorial & Museum at a ceremony
Tuesday.
Trainer’s room
Braves: OF Ronald Acuña Jr., who
hasn’t played since Tuesday because of
a tight left hip, will take batting practice
for three days starting Monday and will
run Wednesday, a day before the Division
Series opener. .... OF Ender Inciarte, who
last played Aug. 16 because of a strained
right hamstring that still causes discom-
fort, returned to Atlanta to be examined,
and “he’ll be down for the foreseeable
future,” Snitker said. ... Utilityman Johan
Camargo, out since fouling a ball off his
right shin on Sept. 11, also will miss the
Division Series. “The one thing that we’ve
been bitten by with the injuries is our
bench — what was really a strong-looking
bench with some guys that we don’t have
anymore,” Snitker said.
Mets: OF-INF Jeff McNeil expects to
have surgery Tuesday, six days after the
ulna bone in his right hand broke when
hit by a pitch from Miami’s Josh Smith.
Up next
Soroka (13-4) goes Sunday for the
Braves in a tuneup for his playoff start.
RHP Noah Syndergaard (10-8) pitches
for the Mets.

With the MSU defense
on its heels from the out-
set, Anthony Schwartz
and Bo Nix added touch-
down runs of their own
as the Tigers leapt out to
a 21-0 lead just over six
minutes into the game.
“I thought some of
our warts got exposed
today,” Moorhead said.
“They took advantage of
some of our deficiencies
and weaknesses.”
Having already con-
ceded a steep lead, the
MSU defense got even
shallower at the be-

quarter when junior
middle linebacker Erroll
Thompson was ejected
for targeting — a call
affording Auburn a first

Thompson. “But we al-

that latter line more than
once in his two-year
tenure. And while he
certainly deserves some
flack for the poor show-
ing, the tape will show
there’s plenty of blame to
go around.
Two delay of game
penalties on the Bull-
dogs’ opening drive
set a disastrous tone
early for an offense that
recorded -12 yards on
its first two possessions.
Starting quarterback
Tommy Stevens had an
injury that kept him from
finishing a game for the
third time this season.
True freshman backup
— well, in fairness we
should probably call him
the starter at this point —
Garrett Shrader showed
flashes of brilliance yet
again, but still has plenty
of development ahead of
him. Kylin Hill, one of
the best running backs in
the SEC, was essentially
taken out of the game
once State fell behind so
quickly.
MSU’s defense
couldn’t have started on
a worse foot, allowing 21
points on Auburn’s first
eight plays. Though in
fairness, they weren’t
given much in terms of
field position.
The Tigers ran the ball
wherever and whenever
After starting quar-
terback Tommy Stevens
left the contest due to
injury for the third time
in four games, freshman
Garrett Shrader gave
MSU minute signs of life
in the second quarter.
Shrader led back-to-
back scoring drives of
75 and 66 yards, respec-
tively — the former of
which was capped off
by a 9-yard touchdown
reception by senior Ste-
phen Guidry.
Though as quickly as
Shrader brought MSU
within 17 points, the
Bulldogs’ lone sliver
of hope quickly turned
sour.
Following a 47-yard
completion from Shrad-
er to senior tight end
Farrod Green that ended
inside the Tigers’ 1-yard-
line, MSU was backed up
five yards due to a Da-
reuan Parker false start
penalty. Shrader then
ran right with the ensu-
ing snap, leaped forward
and had the ball poked
away as Auburn defen-
they wanted. Freshman
Bo Nix looked like a
four-year veteran. MSU’s
defensive line was pushed
around and manhandled
and the secondary wasn’t
much better. Auburn
racked up a whopping
578 total offensive yards
and scored nearly double
the amount of points in
a single game MSU has
under Moorhead’s lead-
ership (31 two games ago
against Kansas State).
The Tigers also scored
touchdowns on their first
five offensive series.
That’s all a long-wind-
ed way of saying Missis-
sippi State made numer-
ous mistakes against a
team where its margin
for error was already
razor-thin.
Look, I think deep
down everyone expected
this year’s defense to
take a step back after
losing three first round
NFL draft picks. Regres-
sion seemed inevitable.
Forgivable, even. And it
should be said Auburn
is a terrific football team
fully deserving of its No.
7 ranking. But allowing
56 points to anyone is flat
out unacceptable if you
want to be considered a
good football team.

we can’t let the cologne
of victory cover up the

Bernard Romans DAR Chapter members Frances Hairston, foreground, and Pam Bullock sort through photographs at the Columbus War Museum Wednes-
day. The chapter last week adopted a long-term project to clean, organize and seek additional identification about memorabilia in the collection displayed
inside the Columbus Municipal Complex at 1501 Main St. The community is invited to the museum from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11 to provide more
complete ID and information for photographs and other items.

of black and white photographs, a

earnest Friday, Oct. 11 — the
National DAR Day of Service. From
11 a.m.-2 p.m., the community
is invited to stop in the museum
to help provide identification
and additional information about
photographs and other items.
Available forms will let the public
not only ID, but also supply details
like branch, years served and
where.
“On some of the photographs,
we’re not even sure which war they
were in,” Hairston remarked.
“And if somebody has a personal
story about that person they want
to share, they can do that on a form
and we can attach it,” said Bullock.
Phase One continues Jan. 20,

#MakePositivityLouder, an event for Breast

E
ast Mississippi Community
College’s Information Sys-
tems Technology department
on the Golden Triangle campus is
now offering personal computer
and laptop repairs to the public at a
nominal cost.
EMCC students enrolled in the
IT Foundations class will perform
the repairs under supervision of
instructors.
“This will give our students an
opportunity to learn on different
computers,” EMCC IST Director
Brandon Sesser said. “Every laptop
and every desktop has nuances
that make them different. I don’t
have enough computers to expose
students to all the different com-
puter brands. Having the public
bring in computers with different
configurations helps our students
learn and people will be able to
have work done on their computers
for a really great price.”
There is a $5 cost to diagnose
computer problems and a $25
charge to perform the repairs.
Computer owners will have to pur-
chase parts needed for the work.
“If somebody needs a hard
drive, for example, we will email
them a link where they can pur-
chase it online,” Sesser said. “Once
the part comes in they can bring it
to us and we will install it and set
up the operating system.
East Mississippi Community College students Robert Brewer, left, and Sa-
mantha Brewer, right, work on a computer during an IT Foundations class.
“If the computer is in such bad
shape that they would be better off
buying a new one, we will provide
them with that information as
well.”
Students taking the IT Foun-
dations class come from a cross
section of programs, including
Computer Networking, Computer
Programming, Cybersecurity, and
Database Administration.
Sesser said the intention isn’t
to compete with area computer
repair shops, where many EMCC
Courtesy photo
students in computer-related pro-
grams serve internships.
“We are sending our students
out to those companies so they are
glad they are getting that hands-on
experience before they go in for
the internships,” Sesser said.
Computers can be dropped off
weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
with instructors in any of the fol-
lowing classrooms in the Douglas
Building: 149, 151, 152, 155, 156 or

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: My wife and I
were happily married for
45 years. We both come
from large, close families, and
we were devoted to each other.
We virtually never fought. She
died suddenly four months ago.
There was no warning. I was
devastated, but my family and my
faith buoyed me up through the
darkest times.
I still have great sadness over
her death, but I’m starting to do
better. More than anything, I am
lonely. After being so close to my
wife for so many years, it’s hard
being suddenly single. I have met
several single women who seem
very nice, who share my religion and have
shown some interest in me.
I really don’t have a desire right now to
start dating, but I have realized
that I do not want to spend the
rest of my life alone and unmar-
ried. I don’t want my children and
my wife’s family to think I’m too
eager or glad to be free of their
mother. I also don’t want to cause
problems in the family. How
long after a spouse’s death is it
appropriate and advisable to wait
before starting to date? — WID-
OWER IN THE MIDWEST
DEAR WIDOWER: It used to
be expected that widows and
widowers would wait one year, out
Dear Abby of respect for their late spouses,
to begin dating. However, those
rules have loosened over time.
When you feel ready to date, you will know
it. That said, make no important decisions or
commitments for one year after the funer-
al — and that includes remarrying to avoid
being lonely. Like many widowers in your age
bracket, you may find that you are now a “hot
commodity.”
DEAR ABBY: I recently moved into a
two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with my
good friend from college. My room appears to
be slightly larger. I also have a slightly bigger
bathroom attached to my room. Her bath-
room is smaller and down the hall. Amid the
stress of moving, I impulsively agreed to pay
$100 more for my room. I know I should have
measured the footage to calculate what would
be fair. We are two months into living together
and, overall, things are going well.
It has finally hit me that I’m paying $200
more in rent. (She pays $760, and I pay
$960.) It just seems like a huge difference
when I don’t feel like our situations are that
different. She also makes a little more money
than I do, if you consider that relevant.
Would it be rude to ask her to reconsider
the difference in how much we pay? This time
around, I’d definitely want to take measure-
ments so there’s no guesswork. However, I
value our relationship as friends and room-
mates, so I’m hesitant to go back on our
original agreement. — SECOND THOUGHTS IN
FLORIDA
DEAR SECOND THOUGHTS: You should not
be paying $200 extra. Revisit the conversation
you had while the two of you were moving in
and recalculate those figures. Your roommate
should be paying $810 and you should be
paying $910, which adds up to the $1,720 you
owe the landlord.
TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE ROSH HASHA-
NA: At sundown tonight, the Jewish New Year
begins. At this time of solemn introspection,
I wish you all, “L’shana tova tikatevu” — may
you be inscribed in the Book of Life and have
a good year.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 29).
You’ll experience what the ancient
texts of the “I Ching” refer to as a
“flame of clarity reflected in the heav-
ens.” Mental fog lifts; you see your
situation vividly, know the next move,
and there’s nothing stopping you. Is
it the right goal? Don’t worry about
that. As long as you are moving,
you’ll find your way to the right goal.
Sagittarius and Pisces adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 20, 18, 7, 9
and 44.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Those who have nothing to hide don’t
mind being questioned. Furthermore,
they won’t be worried about how they
are coming across so much as just
trying to accurately deliver the perti-
nent information.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). One
person’s small accomplishment is
another person’s life-changing mo-
ment. Make no assumptions. Hang
back and let other people clue you
into what credence to give to their
statements.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As
part of a large and diverse group,
you respect people for who they are
while remaining uniquely yourself,
somewhat impervious to influence,
knowing that the world needs you to
show up as you are.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It
would be a mistake to unnecessarily
assume a stance of competition.
People addressing individual needs
are not automatically adversaries.
Needs will be simultaneously met
for all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Priorities
have a way of shuffling to accommo-
date some kind of secret order that
you yourself may not even be aware
of until the results come in. You’ll get
what you want the most.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is
precisely because you are willing and
able to deal with the negative expe-
riences in your life that you are able
to handle and let go of adversity. You
know you are a bigger person than
you once were.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Want
to know what someone is afraid of?
Defensive posture will tell all. We
shield what we’re trying to protect.
Turn this observational model in on
yourself and you’ll learn what you
most need to work on today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No
matter what you’re doing, you’re still
available to your loved ones. You
could be formidably swamped and
would still manage to find a little
something in you to give to others.
Give yourself credit for this beautiful
quality.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You’re so used to dealing with your
own world that you don’t see what
you do on a daily basis as anything
particularly remarkable, but it is. The
right outsider can give you a glimpse
of this.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Agreeing to an adventure is the right
thing to do, especially if you’re not
sure what else to do. It will be better
to connect and see more of life than
to stay in the places you’ve already
been.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You try something that doesn’t work,
and then you try something else.
Keep trying until something clicks.
This is the way of progress. You keep
stepping up. You persist.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Putting all your eggs in one basket is
not the best idea, generally speaking.
With relationships, it’s an especially
precarious practice and a bad mix of
strain, risk and pressure. Diversify.

“The W is delighted to pro-
vide this concert for the com-
munity,” said MUW President
Nora Miller. “We look forward
to hearing the symphony and
enjoying the works of our tal-
ented faculty. Come join us!”
Hurley will perform Mo-
zart’s concert aria, “Voi avete
un cor fedele,” K. 217. She has
performed widely throughout
the United States and Europe
in repertoire that ranges from
opera and musical theater to
concert and recital literature.
She has sung 25 principal
operatic roles and performed
as a concert soloist with numer-
ous orchestras both nationally
and internationally. Hurley is
assistant professor of voice at
MUW and also serves as the
founding artistic director of
Alexander. His work has been
performed across the U.S. and
in Europe, Asia and Africa. His
orchestral and choral composi-
tions have also been featured in
recording projects and music
festivals.
“We are proud to showcase
the outstanding work of these
two MUW scholars as part of
our first symphonic concert,”
said Hill. “We hope their inclu-
sion in the concert’s program
will provide more exposure to
the musical excellence found
across the Golden Triangle.”

would like to join

new and dynamic band
with dedicated, quality
musicians. Over the
years I have played
traditional soul, R&R,

which is Southern
Gospel, traditional

and bluegrass. I guess
a "Dailey & Vincent"sort
of mix is what I like
most but definitely open
to any mix of the above
−listed genres. I am a
solid Christian, fun and
easy to deal with and
know how to blend in
with and act in a

I am "retired"more or
