Lowndes County supervisors on Mon-
day approved paving the Coretta Street
entrance to the Columbus Soccer Com-
plex over Moores Creek.
Funding for the project will come
from the Columbus-Lowndes Recreation
Authoritys budget and will not exceed
$12,000. For a two-inch asphalt surface
with slag and clay gravel, county road
manager Ronnie Burns said the project
can probably be completed for less than
that amount by the end of this month,
weather permitting. Road
crews began work on the
project this morning, he
said.
Tombigbee River Valley
Water Management Dis-
trict has completed install-
ing culverts at the Coretta
Street extension, county
administrator Ralph Bill-
ingsley said. The portion of the connec-
tion from Highway 82 up to the creek is
virtually complete, Burns said.
If the entrance is completed on sched-
ule, it will be re-opened in time for the
Coaches Cup, which the complex is slat-
ed to host in November.
Supervisors also agreed to buy a
$25,000, 5-acre piece of land near Renon
Lane and Buck Egger Road that will be
used to relocate that intersection.
Citing safety issues due to the residen-
tial road entrances location at the bottom
of a hills crest, supervisors initially asked
county engineer Bob Calvert to appraise
the property and ask its owner to allow
the county to purchase the right-of-way.
That way, the road department could re-
locate the entrance about 500 feet down
from the crest. Board president Harry
Sanders said hed heard complaints from

It is unlikely that Columbus
councilmen will consider a pro-
posal to close railroad crossings
on Southside this year, but op-
tions remain on the table and the
situation may be re-addressed in
2014.
Nearly two months ago, a
group of residents spoke out
against a proposal
from Kansas City
Southern Railway
and Mississippi
Department of
Transportation of-
fcials to fund safe-
ty upgrades at six
crossings while
permanently barricading six
others. KCS public safety direc-
tor Allen Pepper told residents in
August that he had project fund-
ing this year that he had to
spend for capital improvements.
The proposal was for KCS to up-
grade crossings at Fourth, Fifth,
Seventh, 11th, 15th and 22nd
streets for roughly $40,000 while
MDOT installed safety arms and
fashers at those same locations
for about $200,000.
The plan also involved Sec-
ond, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, 10th
and 17th streets being closed
City offcials: Railroad closures likely shelved
Matter of permanently closing six crossings
could resurface in 2014

DispATcH sTAff REpORT
Civilian workers at
Columbus Air Force
Base are back on the
job.
On Oct. 1, 230 of
CAFBs 1,277 civilian
workers were immedi-
ately furloughed when
the federal govern-
ment shut down over a
funding impasse.
In accordance with a memo De-
fense Secretary Chuck Hagel re-
leased on Oct. 5, the Air Force re-
called most of the nearly 104,000 Air
Force civilian employees placed on
emergency furlough.
At Columbus Air Force Base, 230
Department of Defense civilian em-
ployees returned to work Monday.
All of our (Department of De-
fense) civilian members came back to
work, said Col. Jim Sears, 14th Fly-
ing Training Wing commander. We
have defnitely felt the impact of the
manning shortfall and we are happy
to have our civilian members back.
While this is good news, we cant for-
get that we are still in a government
shutdown. However, we will continue
to conduct the 14th Flying Training
Wing mission to produce pilots, ad-
vance airman and feed the fght.
Columbus AFBs Commissary,
which also was affected by the gov-
ernment shutdown, will reopen its
doors today at 9 a.m. and will resume
normal operating hours. However, be-
cause of the closure, the commissary
has not been able to reorder and the
store might be low on certain items.
Several Columbus AFB contract-
ed functions are still affected by the
government shutdown and are still
pending full Department of Defense
funding.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK Its a turkey. Its
a menorah. Its Thanksgivukkah!
An extremely rare convergence
this year of Thanksgiving and the
start of Hanukkah has created a
frenzy of Talmudic proportions.
Theres the number crunch-
ing: The last time it happened was
1888, or at least the last time since
Thanksgiving was declared a feder-
al holiday by President Lincoln, and
the next time may have Jews light-
ing their candles from spaceships
79,043 years from now, by one cal-
culation.
Theres the commerce: A 9-year-
old New York boy invented the
Menurkey and raised more than
$48,000 on Kickstarter for his al-
ready trademarked, Turkey-shaped
menorah. Woodstock-inspired
T-shirts have a turkey perched on
the neck of a guitar and implore 8
Days of Light, Liberty & Latkes.
The creators nabbed the trademark
to Thanksgivukkah.
Songs have popped up with lyr-
ics like these from The Ballad of
Thanksgivukkah: Imagine Judah
Maccabee, sitting down to roast
turkey and passing the potatoes to
Squanto ... Rabbi David Paskin,
the songs co-writer and co-head of
the Kehillah Schechter Academy in
Norwood, Mass., proudly declares
his the Jewish day school nearest
Plymouth Rock.
Lets not forget the food mash-
ups commemorating the staying
power of the Pilgrims and the fght-
ing prowess of the Jews, along with
the miracle of one nights oil lasting
eight days. Pumpkin latkes, ap-
ple-cranberry sauce and deep-fried
turkey, anyone?
Its pretty amazing to me that in
this country we can have rich sec-
ular and rich religious celebrations
and that those of us who live in both
worlds can fnd moments when
they meet and can really celebrate
that convergence. There are a lot of
places in the world where we would
not be able to do that, Paskin said.
The lunisolar nature of the Jew-
ish calendar makes Hanukkah and
other religious observances ap-
pear to drift slightly from year to
year when compared to the U.S.,
or Gregorian, calendar. But much
of the intrigue over Hanukkah this
year is buried deep in the history
of Thanksgiving itself, which hasnt
always been fxed in the same spot.
That caused some initial confusion
over Thanksgivukkah, aka Turkuk-
kah.
In 1863, Lincoln declared
Thanksgiving as the last Thursday
in November (the month some-
times has fve of those) and the
holiday remained there until Pres-
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt signed
a joint resolution of Congress fxing
it as the fourth Thursday, starting
in 1942.
Jewish practice calls for the frst
candle of eight-day Hanukkah to
be lit the night before Thanksgiv-
ing Day this year, so technically
Thanksgivukkah falls on the sec-
ond candle night.

AUBURN HILLS,
Mich. When youve
got the smallest market-
ing budget of the Detroit
Three automakers, you
have to take risks to get
your TV spots noticed.
Thats why Olivier
Francois, Chryslers mar-
keting chief, gambles a
lot. Hes following suc-
cessful ads featuring rap-
per Eminem and movie
star Clint Eastwood with
a pitch from a fctitious
character egotistical
airhead television anchor-
man Ron Burgundy from
the 2004 movie Anchor-
man: The Legend of Ron
Burgundy.
And this time, Fran-
cois got the talent to pitch
a refurbished version of
the Dodge Durango SUV
for free. Paramount Pic-
tures, he said, bartered
work on the commercials
by Will Farrell, who plays
Burgundy, in exchange
for the promotion in the
ads of an Anchorman
sequel that is due out in
December.
We cant compete
on the money, said
Francois, a Frenchman
behind the gritty 2011
Super Bowl image ad for
Chrysler with Eminem in
his hometown of Detroit,
and the follow-up spot fea-
turing Eastwood talking
about America making a
comeback.
Chrysler is by far the
smallest of the Detroit
car companies and has
the lowest advertising
budget. Last year, it spent
$1.9 billion in the U.S.,
about 40 percent less than
rival General Motors $3.1
billion, and almost 20 per-
cent below Ford Motor
Co.s $2.3 billion. GM was
the second-largest adver-
tiser in the nation, while
Ford ranked sixth and
Chrysler No. 11, accord-
ing the trade publication
Advertising Age, which
uses fgures from Kantar
Media to estimate spend-
ing and rank the top 100
advertisers.

This image released by Ar-
chie Comics shows After-
life With Archie, a series
debuting Wednesday.
By MATT Moore
The vibrant, cheerful
and safe town of Riverdale
is getting a ghoulish make-
over.
In Afterlife With Ar-
chie, a series debuting
Wednesday, publisher Ar-
chie Comics is launching
not just its frst horror ti-
tle, but also its frst book
carrying a rating for teens
and older sold only in com-
ic shops.
The series written by
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
and illustrated by Frances-
co Francavilla sees Archie,
Betty, Jughead, Veronica
and others, including Sa-
brina the Teenage Witch,
enveloped in a panoply of
incantations, elder gods,
zombies and the undead.
Its a hardcore horror
book, said Aguirre-Saca-
sa, a Harvey Award-win-
ning writer who melded
his personal interests and
horror obsessions into
infuences for the book.
This is why I was meant
to do comics.
Those are evidenced in
descriptions and images.
In one panel, for example,
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
is clutching the fabled but
dreaded Necronomicon.
In another, showing the
gang at a party, Archie is
dressed as Freddy Kreu-
ger from the Nightmare
on Elm Street flms.
Francavilla included his
own nods to horror clas-
sics, too, like the Rocky
Horror Picture Show and
Nosferatu posters on Jug-
heads bedroom wall.
But the book, despite
its subject matter, he said,
refects the core charac-
teristics of Archie and the
other characters.
Sabrina? Shes always
messing up, Aguirre-Sa-
casa said, though in this
case, the mistake has
grave consequences for
Jughead.
In Afterlife, Archie Comics veers into horror

Mississip-

ney Richard Dickie
Scruggs.
The high court on
Monday decided not to
hear from the architect
of the multibillion dol-
lar tobacco lawsuits of
the 1990s. Scruggs was
convicted of improperly
infuencing a Mississip-
pi judge, saying that he
would recommend him
to Scruggs brother-in-
law, then-Mississippi
Sen. Trent Lott, for an
appointment to the feder-
al bench. The judge was
presiding over a lawsuit
between Scruggs and
another lawyer who were
fghting over money.
Scruggs pleaded
guilty in 2009 to honest
services fraud, but ap-
pealed his conviction af-
ter the high court limited
the scope of honest ser-
vices laws in June 2010.
But federal judges have
refused to overturn his
conviction, and the high
court refused to reconsid-
er their rulings.

JACKSON Mississippi tax
collections for the frst quarter
of the states fscal year July
through August are 5.9 per-
cent above the estimate and
$124.3 million, or 12.1 percent,
above what was collected during
the same period a year ago.
The estimate made by leg-
islative leaders upon advice of
the states fnancial experts is
important because it represents
the amount of money available
for the Legislature to appropri-
ate. If collections for the year fall
below the estimate, the governor
could be forced to make cuts or
to dip into the states reserves.
The Northeast Mississippi
Daily Journal reports Mississip-
pi revenue collections were $19.6
million about 4.1 percent
above the revenue estimate for
September and $64.3 million
above for the frst quarter of the
fscal year.
However, individual income
tax collections are $27.7 million,
or 14.4 percent, below the esti-
mate during September. For the
frst quarter, individual income
tax collections are $41.9 million,
or 9.9 percent, below the esti-
mate.
Corporate tax collec-
tions more than offset the
less-than-anticipated individual
income tax collections.

JACKSON Attorney
General Jim Hood says hes
trying to organize state at-
torneys general to push
Google to better protect
intellectual property such
as music, movies and soft-
ware.
Hood said Monday
during a luncheon spon-
sored by the Capitol press
corps and Mississippi State
Universitys Stennis Insti-
tute of Government that
hes circulating a letter to
other states top lawyers,
seeking a meeting with
Google. He said he hopes
to get signatures from
more than 20 attorneys
general.
Maybe Google will
come to the table, he said.
Thats one I hope we can
settle.
Google, based in Moun-
tain View, Calif., says it
responds to requests from
copyright owners to re-
move illegally copied mate-
rial. The company declined
further comment Monday.
After Hood and other at-
torneys general raised con-
cerns earlier this year that
Google made it too easy to
buy drugs online without
a prescription, the online
giant took some steps to
make it harder. For exam-
ple, the company disabled
auto-complete functions
that led people to illegal
drug sites.
Google paid $500 mil-
lion to the federal gov-
ernment in 2011 to settle
claims over ads sold to
pharmacies that were ille-
gally shipping drugs into
the United States. Hood
said Monday he sent evi-
dence to the U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice that Google
had breached the agree-
ment, but federal offcials
have not acted.

DISPATCH
THE
ReadeRs comment
ouR View
It appears as though the
Columbus City Council will not
take up the matter of a propos-
al to close six railroad cross-
ings on the citys Southside,
although city leaders insist
the idea could emerge again,
perhaps as soon as next year.
As opposed to what is
happening in Washington
these days, sometimes the best
decision is to do nothing. The
councils no-decision on this
proposal is a wise move.
When the proposal from
Kansas City Southern Railway
and the Mississippi Depart-
ment of Transportation was
frst presented, it seemed as
though the idea would quickly
move through the council. The
railway company needed an
answer by September in order
to start work before the end of
the year. Otherwise, the funds
reserved for these types of
projects would not be available.
Unlike other decisions made
by the council, including a
controversial decision to hire
J5/Broaddus to fll a new po-
sition of city project manager,
the public was provided ample
opportunities to contribute to
the discussion.
In two public meetings,
Southside residents made their
feelings known. Some spoke in
favor of the proposal. Others
argued against it. But the
meetings proved to be far more
valuable than simply allowing
residents to voice their opin-
ions. In both meetings, citizens
again and again raised interest-
ing points, challenged assump-
tions and offered alternatives.
By the end of the meetings,
council members had far more
information than they had
before the public weighed in.
It was clear that too many un-
answered questions remained
and that many suggestions
that emerged during the public
meetings warranted careful
consideration.
In the end, the councils
decision not to proceed with
the plan acknowledged that
residents had raised issues that
could not be resolved in the
time frame required. The deci-
sion to table the project was the
smart move.
Regardless of your views on
the railroad crossing issue, the
process involved in considering
the proposal is to be applauded.
It really is how our city govern-
ment should operate.
Our leaders are elected to
make decisions on our behalf.
But they should make informed
decisions, based on a real dia-
logue with the residents. That
is precisely what happened in
this case and the city is better
for it.
When and if the proposal
emerges again, we expect an-
other healthy dialogue where
all stockholders are given an
opportunity to contribute.
If you are a looking for a
model of how the city should
conduct its business, you can
fnd no better example.
We hope it is one our city
leaders will continue to follow.
MSU exodus
I am a frst time season ticket holder for MSU
football. I do not have ties to MSU or the state of
Mississippi. I make my home in Columbus and
consider myself a Bulldog. I found the MSU-LSU
game to be an exciting and thrilling game until
the last play of the third quarter. I am not referring
to the Prescott interception or the ensuing LSU
touchdown; rather, I am referring to the EXODUS
of fans. With a huge shift of momentum to LSU,
the MSU fans gave up. The LSU faithful sitting
around us asked with all sincerity, Why is everyone
leaving?
LSU fans obliviously know what it means to
support your team. I can only imagine how uncom-
fortable it was for Coach Mullen after the game,
to tell a recruit on an offcial visit that we have the
best fans in the SEC when they both had a front row
seat to the EXODUS? How can Coach Mullen call a
recruit and truthfully tell them how great it is to play
in Davis Wade Stadium, when it is clear as day on
ESPN that the fans dont believe in the team. How
can a MSU player fnd the motivation to put it all on
the line during the fourth quarter while there is an
EXODUS going on? Les Miles job of motivating his
team in the fourth quarter became so much easier
when all the Tigers had to do was look in the stands
at the EXODUS of fans. The fourth quarter is where
the real fans show their support.

If the continued ex-
istence of mathematics
depended on the ability
of the Republicans to
defend the proposi-
tion that two plus two
equals four, that would
probably mean the end
of mathematics and
of all the things that
require mathematics.
Republican Speak-
er of the House of
Representatives, John
Boehner, epitomized
what has been wrong
with the Republicans
for decades when
he emerged from a
White House meeting
last Wednesday, went
over to the assembled
microphones, briefy
expressed his disgust
with the Democrats
intransigence and
walked on away.
We are in the midst
of a national crisis,
immediately affecting
millions of Americans
and potentially affect-
ing the kind of country
this will become if
ObamaCare goes into effect
and yet, with multiple television
network cameras focused on
Speaker Boehner as he emerged
from the White House, he couldnt
be bothered to prepare a state-
ment that would help clarify a
confused situation, full of fallacies
and lies.
Boehner was not unique in
having a blind spot when it comes
to recognizing the importance of
articulation and the need to put
some serious time and effort into
presenting your case in a way that
people outside the Beltway would
understand. On the contrary, he
has been all too typical of Republi-
can leaders in recent decades.
When the government was shut
down during the Clinton admin-
istration, Republican
leaders who went on
television to tell their
side of the story talked
about OMB numbers
versus CBO num-
bers as if most peo-
ple beyond the Belt-
way knew what these
abbreviations meant
or why the statistics in
question were relevant
to the shutdown. Why
talk to them in Belt-
way-speak?
When Speaker
Boehner today goes
around talking about
the CR, that is just
more of the same
thinking or lack of
thinking. Policy wonks
inside the Beltway
know that he is talking
about the continu-
ing resolution that
authorizes the existing
level of government
spending to continue,
pending a new budget
agreement.
But, believe it or
not, there are lots of
citizens and voters
outside the Beltway. And what is
believed by those people whom
too many Republicans are talking
past can decide not only the
outcome of this crisis but the fate
of the nation for generations to
come.
You might think that the stakes
are high enough for Republicans
to put in some serious time trying
to clarify their message. As the
great economist Alfred Marshall
once said, facts do not speak for
themselves. If we are waiting for
the Republicans to do the speak-
ing, the country is in big trouble.
Democrats, by contrast, are all
talk. They could sell refrigerators
to Eskimos before Republicans
could sell them blankets.
Indeed, Democrats sold Barack
Obama to the American public,
which is an even more amazing
feat, considering his complete
lack of relevant experience and
questionable (at best) loyalty to
the values and institutions of this
country.
The Democrats have obviously
given a lot of attention to artic-
ulation, including coordinated
articulation among their mem-
bers. Some years ago, Senator
Chuck Schumer was recorded,
apparently without his knowledge,
telling fellow Democrats to keep
using the word extremist when
discussing Republicans.
Even earlier, when George W.
Bush frst ran for President, the
word that suddenly began appear-
ing everywhere was gravitas
as in the endlessly repeated
charge that Bush lacked gravi-
tas. People who had never used
that word before suddenly began
using it all the time.
Today, the Democrats buzz-
word is clean as in the
endlessly repeated statement that
Republicans in the House of Rep-
resentatives should send a clean
bill to the Senate. Anything less
than a blank check is not consid-
ered a clean bill.
The Constitution gives the
House of Representatives the
responsibility to originate all
spending bills, based on what
they think should and should not
be funded. But the word clean
is now apparently supposed to
override the Constitution.
If Republicans want to show
some seriousness about artic-
ulating their case, they might
start by deleting the abbreviation
CR from their vocabulary. As
has been said, The journey of
a thousand miles begins with a
single step. That journey is long
overdue.

Possumhaw: Living quietly in the Prairie
Ruth White: These words say it all to me. If ever
I wondered why Im so happy in that barn house we
built, you have answered me. I long to experience a
restaurant, where no one is playing with a phone, no
television fashes from every corner; and where no
loud music destroys conversation. Thank goodness
for people like you who recognize the elements of
meaningful living. Thank goodness for your words
of wisdom.
Shutdown enters second week, no end in sight
Mike Rathbone: Im going to be perfectly honest
with you here. I have never been more embarrassed
by my country, its leadership, and for that matter,
its citizens. You people have stood around playing
the Republican vs Democrat games to the point that
your country is on the verge of collapse, and you
still dont get it. I dont think you ever will.
Are you aware that while you are playing this
nonsense game of yours, fallen soldiers and their
families cant get their death benefts? Are you
proud of yourself yet?
Are you also aware that vets who have medical
test appointments are being pushed aside, canceled,
and put off due to not having the personnel available
to do the test? And its all because Congress and
the president feel the need to play football with the
country, and guess what, you put them in offce.
That makes this YOUR fault too.
There are veterans and the mentally ill living on
the streets in this country, but you have no funding
for this ... but you have millions to ship off to foreign
countries who couldnt care less about you. YOU
played your part in that too.
So you go right ahead and shove your head back
in the sand, or wherever it is you keep your head,
and keep playing your games, keep voting the same
losers into offce, and keep on being happy sailors
dancing on a sink ship.
You are an embarrassment.

Woman charged in Medicare
fraud bought 20 cars
By HOLBROOK MOHR
JACKSON Newly re-
leased court records claim
the owner of a Mississippi
hospice ran a multimillion
Medicare fraud and used
some of the money to buy
20 cars since December
2009.
The details about Angel-
ic Hospice in Greenwood
and its owners purchases
were outlined in a 27-page
document dated Feb. 19
but only made public Oct.
3 in U.S. District Court in
Oxford.
The document is an af-
fdavit supporting prosecu-
tors efforts to seize cars
and cash in the case. It said
the hospice billed Medi-
care for millions of dollars
services that were never
rendered, sometimes in-
volving forged documents.
Regina Swims-King
was charged in June in
a 37-count criminal in-
dictment and pleaded not
guilty. Her trial is sched-
uled for Dec. 2.
The hospice served
numerous counties in the
Mississippi Delta. It billed
Medicare more than $11
million from 2007 to 2012,
according to court records.
Swims-King is listed in
court records as the per-
son who wrote checks for
the cars, though the vehi-
cles were registered under
various names, the court
records said. The cars
listed in court documents
include a $92,000 Jaguar, a
Lexus and a BMW.
Swims-Kings lawyer,
Cynthia Stewart, did not
return a call seeking com-
ment. A phone listing on
the hospice website was
disconnected. The web-
site said the company was
owned and operated by

permanently on KCS
dime. Pepper said that
a decision needed to be
made by September, and
that work would need to
begin before the end of
this year, for the project to
be eligible for funding.
A majority of the loca-
tions in question are in
Ward 1 councilman Gene
Taylors territory. On Mon-
day, he said it would proba-
bly be next year before the
city and KCS could come
back to the table and re-
sume negotiations.
I wouldnt say its dead
in the water, Taylor said.
As far as Im concerned,
the negotiations will never
be closed...I dont think it
would be smart for the city
to say were not going to
negotiate anymore or that
were closing the chapter
of this book.
Columbus chief oper-
ations offcer David Arm-
strong agreed, saying
the city was keeping its
options open but mak-
ing a decision was not
something were working
toward right now. Arm-
strong does not expect the
issue to surface again this
year.
In a study conducted in
2008 by engineering frm
Neel-Schaffer, the largest
increase in traffc if the
closings occurred would
have been about 5 percent
on Seventh Street, city en-
gineer Kevin Stafford said
in August. Volume would
have increased on the
roads left open but would
have decreased overall,
Stafford said.
Taylor said if there is
an opportunity again next
year to improve crossings
through outside funding,
he would want more sug-
gestions from the public.
(I would want to) get
the community more in-
volved in the activities of
whats going on from day
one, he said. Id try to get
the county involved, Pac-
car, Severstal, Eurocopter

The money will come
from the countys road
department budget, but
there is already clay grav-
el on site that could be
used to build the new en-
trances base. The only ad-
ditional cost for the road
department would be to
purchase asphalt, Sand-
ers said. That would likely
happen early next sum-
mer. The board approved
an extra $500,000 for the
road department in the
2013-14 fscal year budget.
Board approves in-kind
services for Crawford
A large-scale sewage
overhaul in the town of
Crawford will soon be
closed out with in-kind
assistance from Lowndes
County road crews.
After tabling a request
last week to give Burns
time to evaluate the proj-
ect, supervisors agreed to
clear a piece of property of
rotting trees to create an
access road into a pump
station. The initial request
was for about $13,000 in
services, but Sanders said
the county will only have
to pay $1,000 for wash and
clay gravel to create the
access road, and the proj-
ect can be done in house.
Crawford Mayor Fred
Tolon, who came before
the board last week re-
questing services, esti-
mated the quality-of-life
project at about $800,000.
In other business, the
board:
Authorized Billings-
ley to apply for a Precision

(PAPI) grant for the Co-
lumbus-Lowndes Airport.
The 90/10 matching grant
would fund mandatory
fight checks from the
Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration on the already-in-
stalled PAPIs so they
can be used. The coun-
ty and city of Columbus
would each pay $254.35
of the $5,082.70 fee for the
checks if the application is
accepted;

conduct feasibility stud-

the school. At that time,
there were four possible
sites. That number has
dropped to two both
are just off Highway 82
near Lehmberg Road
and negotiations on pur-
chasing a piece of prop-
erty continue.
Henderson suggested
to the board Monday that
drawing up documents
relating to the schools
construction would take
roughly six months. On
that schedule, they would
be ready by March 2014.
At that point, bids
would open and after a
choice had been made on
a contractor, construc-
tion would last about 14
months, or through July
2015.
The county does not
have a vocational school.
In the past, Superinten-
dent Lynn Wright has ex-
pressed a desire to build
a central tech center that

courses to students want-
ing to immediately enter

graduation.

moving forward is work
on the districts campus-
es in New Hope, Caledo-

Expectations dont faze Eric Harris.
As the West Lowndes High School
football teams go-to
back, Harris knows his
teammates count on him
to make big plays, to be a
leader, and to provide an
emotional lift whenever
they need it.
Thats a lot to expect
from a junior who is in
his frst season in such
a signifcant role. But the 5-foot-7,
155-pounder isnt backing down from
his responsibility.
I play with my heart 24-7, the whole
game, Harris said. I depend on my
team and listen to the coach and the
plays he calls. I put 110 percent in ev-
ery time I get the ball.
Harris lived up to his word in a big
way Friday, rushing for a season-high
137 yards and three touchdowns in a
54-8 victory against West Oktibbeha
County High in a Mississippi High
School Activities Association Class 1A,
Region 3 game in Maben. For his ac-
complishment, Harris is The Dispatchs
Prep Player of the Week.
The 137-yard effort was Harris
fourth 100-plus yard game of the sea-
son. It pushed his season total to 630
yards (nine touchdowns) in six games.
With four games remaining, including
a one at 7 p.m. Friday against Nanih
Waiya (3-3, 2-1 region), Harris has
work to do if he is going to reach his
goal of 2,000 yards. Two open dates on
the schedule also dont work in Harris
favor, but he isnt going to use any ex-
cuses and is going to do everything in
his power to reach that number.

While the schedule doesnt
ease up for the Ole Miss football
team, the good news is the Rebels
will be home for a while.
Ole Miss will
play the frst of
six-straight home
games at 7:30
p.m. Saturday
(ESPN) when it
plays host to No.
9 Texas A&M at
Vaught - Hemi ng-
way Stadium.
The Rebels have only played
once at home this season. Ole
Miss (3-2, 1-2 Southeastern
Conference) dropped its second
straight game Saturday, falling
30-22 at Auburn.
Were not happy with where
we are, but we thank God were
not where we used to be, Ole
Miss coach Hugh Freeze said
Monday at his weekly media gath-
ering. The journey continues.
Its been a very diffcult stretch of
road games. Im disappointed in
the outcome, but Im extremely
proud of the fght and battle our
young men showed.
Conservative projections had
the Rebels 3-2 after fve games.
After winning the frst three for
the frst time since 1989, those
thoughts changed as Ole Miss
vaulted into the national rankings.
In back-to-back losses to Ala-
bama and Auburn, though, Ole
Miss managed two offensive
touchdowns after averaging 38
points per game in the frst three.
Ole Miss is one of three teams
in the Football Bowl Subdivision
to have played four true road
games.

STARKVILLE Mississip-
pi State senior quarterback Tyler
Russell always gathers the new and
freshmen wide receivers to give
them a piece of critical advice.
I tell all of them to just be
patient because you never know
when your time is going to come,
Russell said. You never know
when that opportunity will pres-
ent itself but it will. Trust me.
MSUs young group of wide
receivers is fnal-

lack of playing
experience and
realizing Russells
words of wisdom.
DRunnya Wil-
son had his break-
out moment Satur-
day night in a 59-26
loss to No. 10 LSU at Davis Wade
Stadium in a national television
matchup. One play after being
sacked, Russell changed the pro-
tection and the play to go to Wil-
son, a 6-foot-6 freshman wideout
from Birmingham, for a big play.
The result was a perfect throw
over double coverage for a 59-
yard touchdown strike. The score
with 6 minutes and 28 seconds
left in the frst half gave MSU its
frst and only lead, 23-21, in what
turned out to be a 59-26 loss.
He changed everything,
MSU coach Dan Mullen said of
Russell. He saw a certain pres-

The echoes of the 2012 championship
season are stirring at Heritage Academy.
Thats just fne with football coach
Barrett Donahoe, who welcomed the
drama and the intensity Friday that sur-
rounded his teams 14-7 victory against
Washington School.
While a regular-season game pales
in comparison to the magnitude of a
state title matchup, Donahoe agreed the
dynamics of the Patriots come-from-
behind victory at home had a lot of the
same elements he saw in the teams 10-3
victory against Magnolia Heights that
secured its Mississippi Association of In-
dependent Schools Class AAA, Division
II crown.
We played great defense and made
timely plays on offense, Donahoe said.
We never panicked. Guys continued to
play even when we struggled at times
offensively. Thats what we talked about
all week. After (the victory against) Oak
Hill Academy, we werent sure what to
expect. The inconsistency had kind of
gotten us out of sorts.
Donahoe hopes the Patriots (6-1, 2-1
Class AAA, District 1, Division II) will
continue to raise their consistency and
their energy the rest of the way. The next
step will be at 7 p.m. Friday when Heri-
tage Academy travels to Pillow Academy
(2-5, 0-3). The victory against Division I
Washington School gives Heritage Acad-
emy a frm grasp on its destiny. Victories
this week and in remaining Division II
games against Starkville Academy and
Magnolia Heights (both at home) would
send the Patriots back to the playoffs.
There wont be any breaks, though.

STARKVILLE The parents
of Petal High School receiver Jesse
Jackson told him he didnt have to
wait to make his college choice.
With his mind was made up,
Jackson ended the debate Monday.
Jackson, a three-star prospect by
all of the recruiting services, an-
nounced his verbal commitment
to Mississippi State. He is the 18th
commitment for the Class of 2014.
He will make the decision offcial
on National Signing Day on the frst
week in February.
For the longest time, I wanted
to wait until after the season, but I
felt it was the right time, Jackson
told 247Sports.com. I talked to my
coaches, too, about it. They said
I could wait till long but if I knew
where I wanted to go that they
would wish the best for me.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Jackson
unoffcially visited MSU last week
and needed just a couple of days to
announce his decision.
Its been a lot of fun, Jackson
told Paul Jones of 247Sports.com.
I was grateful when I got my frst
offer and then things moved very
fast and it became a reality I was go-
ing to be playing in the SEC. With
our open date, I had a lot of time to
think about my decision. That real-
ly helped to speed up the process,
and it went quicker than I thought
at frst.
Jackson also held offers from Au-
burn, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri,
and Southern Miss, among others,
and is rated the ninth-best overall
prospect in the state of Mississippi,
according to 247Sports.com. Jack-
son has 14 receptions for 170 yards
and two touchdowns in fve games
for Petal this season. He had 39
catches for 842 yards and 11 scores
in 2011.
Jackson told 247Sports.com
he plans to major in engineering
at MSU. He said he also was im-
pressed with MSUs willingness to
give freshmen playing time. This
season, MSU has given signifcant
playing time to freshmen wide re-
ceivers DRunnya Wilson and Fred
Ross.
I like how Dak (Prescott) has
done this year, and I also got a good
feel for (2014 MSU commit) Elijah
(Staley) at Big Dawg Camp, Jack-
son said. I know he has a big arm
and likes to mix in the run, too. We
hit it off well at Big Dawg Camp,
and I like the chance to earn early
playing time and playing with those
quarterbacks.
Mullen not convinced shootouts will defne SEC
big games
MSU coach Dan Mullen isnt convinced Southeast-
ern Conference games will continue to be shootouts.
MSU (2-3, 0-2 SEC) is still fourth in the SEC in to-
tal defense even after allowing 59 points and 563 yards
Saturday in a loss to No. 10 LSU.
LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger was 25 of 29
for 340 yards and two touchdowns on his way to being
named SEC Player of the Week. In addition to complet-
ing a career-high 25 passes, Mettenbergers 86-percent
completion rate is the fourth-highest total for a QB in
school history in a game with at least 20 attempts.
The 59 points were the most for LSU (5-1, 2-1) in a
SEC game since it scored 63 against Kentucky in 1997.
The Tigers have scored 30 or more points in every game
a first in school history and has eclipsed the 400-
yard mark in all six games, another first in LSU history.
LSU outscored MSU 31-3 in the second half after lead-
ing 28-23 at halftime.
The SEC has three schools in the top 30 in total
defense this week. However, Mullen isnt convinced de-
fenses will decide who will play in Atlanta for the SEC
title.
Before all is said and done youre going to see
some defensive battles in this league, Mullen said. Its
my ninth year in the league, Ive seen offensive explo-
sions. Youve seen defensive years.

Petal High WR Jackson commits to MSU
Receivers
Continued from Page 1B
shows his experience.
According a new pol-
icy created by the MSU
football program in
which freshman are only
allowed to speak after
games, Wilson was un-
available Monday evening
after practice.
I have the greatest
coaches in the world be-
cause if they can turn
a basketball player like
myself into a big-time col-
lege football player at the
highest level of competi-
tion, what cant they do?,
Wilson said after having
two catches for 31 yards
in a 51-7 victory against
Alcorn State on Sept. 7.
Russell threw two
touchdown passes to give
him 39, which moved past
Derrick Taite, who threw
38 from 1993-96. All told,
Russell has 42 touch-
downs (run and pass) in
his career, which moved
him past Wayne Madkin
(41 from 1998-2001) and
tied him with John Bond
(42 from 1980-83) for
third on the programs
all-time list. Don Smith
(1983-86) is the MSU ca-
reer leader with 52 touch-
downs. In Russells last
two games against LSU,
he is 33 of 49 for 441 yards
and three touchdowns.
I think it was just
(DRunnya Wilsons) time
and he made a big play,
Russell said. I do think
that will give him a lot of
confdence and trust mov-
ing forward that things
are looking up for him.
Wilson, who has been
given the nickname
Bear by his teammates,
had two catches in each
of his frst two games.
He has been a big-body
target to catch jump balls
over the middle of the
feld. Against LSU, Wil-
son had two catches for
a career-high 80 yards.
His frst touchdown catch
showed he can be a weap-
on down the feld.
I think you see from
week to week to week
(the receivers are) mak-
ing bigger plays, Mullen
said. I think that is just
huge when you starting
seeing guys making more
and more plays.
Another quality receiv-
ing target has been junior
Jameon Lewis. The 5-foot-
10 playmaker was one of
two wide receivers Satur-
day night to fnish with
more than 100 yards. He
has become a target on
bubble screens and has
shown an ability to make
tacklers miss on crossing
routes.
Through fve games,
MSU has only two receiv-
ers Lewis 19, Robert
Johnson with 11 with
double-digit catches, but
both are in the top 20 in the
SEC in yards per catch.
I think we stepped it
up on the offensive side
of the ball against LSU,
Lewis said. We put in a
lot of time in our funda-
mentals after practice. It
may look like were jok-
ing around out there, but
sooner rather than later in
that session itll get com-
petitive.

Ole Miss
ask them to go through, Freeze
said. To get back home with some
of the late trips weve had, be back
here Sunday for a pretty thorough
day also. There are times all of us
wish we could just lay at home a day
and watch the NASCAR race or the
Presidents Cup. Thats just proba-
bly human nature. I dont know if
(it has affected them) physically be-
cause I think we have a good plan,
but mentally I think its stressed
them a bit. Being at home is going
to help us get back maybe to a little
more normalcy because thats not a
typical season. I dont know if Ive
ever coached in (a season) thats
been shaped like this. Hopefully
theyll get back to some normalcy.
While the change of venue
should please the Rebels, the sched-
ule wont get any easier. A game
against No. 10 LSU follows the
game against Texas A&M. A victo-
ry in either or both would greatly
enhance Ole Miss chances to play
in a New Year Days bowl game.
To win one or both of its next
two games, Ole Miss will have to
re-establish its running game. The
Rebels managed 124 yards rushing
Saturday.
We pride ourselves in the run
game, Ole Miss sophomore offen-
sive lineman Justin Bell said. Its
more of a statement play. I feel like
we will be able to move the ball. We
just have to move the double team
and get to the linebackers. If we get
our guys to the safeties, its going to
be a show.
Last season, Ole Miss may have
suffered its most bitter defeat in a
30-27 setback to Texas A&M in
Oxford. The Rebels led 27-17 with
14 minutes, 56 seconds remaining.
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny
Manziel then led the Aggies on two
drives to snatch the victory in the
closing minutes.
You have to be multiple (against
Manziel), Freeze said. You cant
give them just one thing. There are
no bad coaches in this league and
they have tremendous players, so
they will make adjustments if they
get a beat on what youre doing. We
did have a good plan (last year). We
contained him for the better part of
three quarters, but in the fourth
quarter he showed why he won the
Heisman Trophy.
Texas A&M (4-1, 1-1) is coming
off a bey week. Prior to that, Tex-
as A&M won 45-33 at Arkansas.
While Texas A&M is averaging
49.2 points per game, it is allowing
6.1 yards per carry compared to
3.7 yards last season.
We want to run the ball, Freeze
said. We want to be balanced. I
think our stats prove that over the
course of time. We like to be bal-
anced, but teams are taking things
away from us that are making us
try to do different things that may-
be were not as gifted as a team. We
have to continue to work on those
things because good teams make
you do different things than what
your bread and butter are typical-
ly. Well work hard again on doing
some things.
We had a good package last week
that we really liked that was good to
us early on, particularly with Barry
(Brunetti) in the game, but we just
got behind and didnt feel like we
could be as balanced in doing cer-
tain things. Were going to continue
working on our running game.
Defensive end Carlos Thomp-
son is expected to be a game-day
decision, while defensive end C.J.
Johnson is expected to return after
being held out of the game against
Auburn. Center Evan Swindall has
a toe injury and leading rusher Jeff
Scott has a thigh bruise, but both
are expected to play.

Cardinals
Something the Pirates
failed to do at home in
front of a record crowd at
PNC Park anxious to cel-
ebrate with champagne
for the second time in a
week. Pittsburgh popped
the bubbly after beating
Cincinnati in the wild-
card game last Tuesday.
This time, the bottles
remained corked after
Wacha pitched like a guy
whod been in the majors
for years, not months.
He was unhittable,
Beltran said. He gave us
an opportunity to win. We
scored just two runs, but
you just had the feeling it
was going to be enough.
St. Louis improved
to 7-1 over the last three
years with its season on
the line when Rosenthal
got Pittsburgh MVP-can-
didate Andrew McCutch-
en to pop out to second
with one on in the ninth.
I think you take high
talent and high character
people that are motivated
and support each other,
and they dont give up,
Cardinals manager Mike
Matheny said. Thats a
tough combination.
One the Pirates are
still trying to master.
Pedro Alvarez hit his
third home run of the se-
ries, connecting with one
out in the eighth for Pitts-
burghs only hit. It wasnt
enough for the Pirates to
advance to the NL cham-
pionship series for the
frst time in 21 years.
I guess thats why we
play fve, McCutchen
said. Well be ready for
the ffth one.
The Pirates werent
quite ready for the fourth
one, not with the way
Wacha was dealing. He
walked two and struck out
nine before giving way to
the bullpen in the eighth.
The Cardinals fnished
with only three hits but
only really needed one:
Hollidays two-run homer
in the sixth off Charlie
Morton.
You could go back and
look at pitches over and
over again and second
guess yourself, Morton
said. I dont know where
that pitch was. It was outer
third somewhere, thigh-
down and he went out and
got it, hes strong.
So was the 6-foot-6 kid
on the mound, the one
barely a year removed
from a standout college
career at Texas A&M.
Wacha didnt permit a
runner until walking Rus-
sell Martin leading off the
sixth.
Wacha nearly no-hit
the Washington Nationals
in his last start on Sept.
24, surrendering only
an infeld single by Ryan
Zimmerman with two
outs in the ninth.
Working so quickly the
Pirates never had time to
get settled, he breezed
through Pittsburghs re-
vamped lineup like he was
in extended spring train-
ing. Mixing his fastball
and changeup masterful-
ly, Wacha overwhelmed
the Pirates from the mo-
ment he stepped onto the
mound.
He went out and hit
his spots and it seemed
like everything we were
hitting, we were just miss-
ing, just missing, Mc-
Cutchen said.

Braves
in the playoffs for the frst time.
Juan Uribe hit a go-ahead,
two-run homer in the eighth
inning after Kershaw started
on short rest for the Dodgers,
who reached the NLCS for the
frst time since 2009.
It was a special night to get
to do it here in L.A., said Ker-
shaw, his hair slick from the
spray of beer and champagne.
We havent won anything yet,
but it defnitely feels good to
get to celebrate. You never
want to pass those moments
up.
Carl Crawford homered
his frst two times up and the
Dodgers won the best-of-fve
playoff 3-1.
This does not get old. I
love the champagne. I love the
burning sensation in my eyes,
center felder Skip Schumaker
said. A lot of these guys have
never experienced the moving
on to the next round and Im
happy for them.
Yasiel Puig doubled down
the right-feld line leading
off the eighth against losing
pitcher David Carpenter. The
rookie charged into second
base and pumped his right fst
in the air.
Fans were on their feet
chanting Lets go Dodgers!
when Uribe fouled off two bunt
attempts. Then he sent a hang-
ing 2-2 breaking ball into the
Dodgers bullpen in left feld
to put them in front for the sec-
ond time.
Uribe knew it was gone
as soon as he connected. He
dropped his bat and threw
both arms in the air at home
plate.
This moment today Ill
never forget, he said. I think
a lot of people feel like that.
Meanwhile, it was the lat-
est October fop for Atlanta,
which hasnt won a postseason
series since 2001. During that
stretch, the Braves have lost
seven straight playoff series
and the 2012 NL wild-card
game.
To end the way it did to-
night, its going to hurt. Its
going to be a long way back,
Braves manager Fredi Gon-
zalez said. But tip your hat
to the Dodgers and congratu-
late Donnie and his staff. The
sad thing is there are no more
games.
Brian Wilson pitched a
scoreless eighth to get the vic-
tory. Kenley Jansen struck out
all three batters in the ninth
for a save, fanning Justin Up-
ton to end it.
That set off a celebration on
the feld by the Dodgers, who
rushed toward the mound in
a mob. They tore jerseys off
each other in unbridled excite-
ment and doused Uribe with a
bright-colored sports drink.
This team has a lot of fun.
We dont think about being the
team to beat and all that stuff.
We just go out there and play
and try to have fun, Crawford
said.

Rays use walk-off magic to beat Red Sox
By The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Evan
Longoria savored another win-or-
go-home victory for the Tampa Bay
Rays.
I think we all understand the
stakes. We all understand that we
have our backs to the wall. And it
seems like those moments have
been fueling us, the three-time All-
Star said Monday night after Jose
Lobatons two-out, ninth-inning ho-
mer gave the Rays a 5-4 victory over
the Boston Red Sox and renewed
hope in the AL division series.
These are the game that weve
really played well in. Although youd
like to be on the other side, maybe
we need that now.
Tampa Bay won when facing
elimination for the fourth time in
nine days, trimming Bostons lead
to 2-1 in the best-of-fve matchup.
Game 4 is tonight at Tropicana
Field. Jake Peavy will start for the
Red Sox against Jeremy Hellickson.
They have a great team. They
never quit. Weve seen that ... ev-
eryone knows that. Weve just got to
be one run better than them (Tues-
day), Bostons Dustin Pedroia said.
Well be all right. Well be fne.
As hes done so often in his career,
Longoria provided the spark that
turned a potentially bleak night into a
special moment in Rays history. The
only player whos appeared in every
postseason game Tampa Bay has ever
played homered off Clay Buchholz in
the ffth inning. The three-run shot
erased a 3-0 defcit and boosted sag-
ging hopes.
Lobatons solo homer off Koji Ue-
hara landed in the giant fsh tank be-
yond the center-feld wall. The Red
Sox closer didnt allow a home run in
his last 37 regular-season games.
n Athletics 6, Tigers 3: At Detroit, Grant Balfour and
Oakland arent making many new friends in the Motor City.
Thats fine with Balfour, the high-strung reliever who
nearly came face to face with Detroits Victor Martinez while
closing out the Tigers in Game 3 to send the defending AL
champions to the brink of elimination.
Brandon Moss, Josh Reddick and Seth Smith homered
for the Athletics, who chased Anibal Sanchez in the fifth in-
ning Monday and defeated the 6-3 for a 2-1 lead in the AL
division series. Balfour pitched a hitless ninth for the save,
and he and Martinez started shouting at each other after the
Detroit designated hitter fouled a pitch off and looked back
at the mound. I said, Why you staring me down like that?
Balfour said. He was staring me down. He knew what he
was doing.
That dust-up was a tense moment, but the As were in
control. Detroit must beat Oakland twice in a row to have any
chance of returning to the World Series after being swept by
San Francisco a year ago. They have a good team and we
have a good team. Unfortunately, someone has to lose, and
were down 2-1, Martinez said. We know what we have to
do, and weve done it before.
Patriots
follows Pillow Academy, so Donahoe knows his
team cant afford to let up. Thats why he wants
the team to seize the momentum it earned from
a hard-fought victory and move forward.
We challenged our guys to give every bit of
effort they had and to show the desire to win,
and they did, Donahoe said. There was an in-
tensity level in the second half we havent seen
this year. It didnt come because we had a tre-
mendous amount of success. It came through
perseverance. I thought our guys effort was
extremely good.
Parker Shorts 8-yard run in the third quarter
tied the game before Shorts 10-yard halfback
pass to Mark Thatcher secured the victory.
Thatcher reached behind him while in the air to
make the play on Shorts pass to push the Patri-
ots one victory away from matching last season
win total. A year ago, the Patriots fnished on a
fve-game winning streak after Donahoe said
the team faced must-win situations nearly every
week down the stretch. The players responded
much like they did Friday night in a competitive
game in which neither team had much success
running the football. Both teams averaged less
than 3 yards per carry. Still, Heritage Academy
relied on a defense that allowed only 209 yards
to earn a confdence-building victory.
We didnt have things go well for us early,
Donahoe said. We survived the frst 10 min-
utes. Once we did that, we realized that we fnal-
ly could be successful. The feeling at halftime
after the defensive stop where they missed the
feld goal was that we felt like we could have suc-
cess.
The challenge is to build on that success. A
week earlier, Heritage Academy answered the
bell when Oak Hill Academy cut its lead to 16-14.
Against Washington School, Heritage Academy
overcame penalties and turnovers to protect its
home feld. Donahoe hopes players like Luke
Ellison, who had two pass defections, and Jace
Caldwell, who had the interception to seal the
deal, continue to emerge and make plays at key
moments regardless if things are clicking or
the team is struggling. He believes the Patriots
ability to do that will determine whether it gets a
chance to defend its title.
We walked into the break room in the cafe-
teria (Tuesday) and it was the frst time all year
you could walk station to station and hear the
conversation amongst the entire team was com-
pletely about football, Donahoe said. Hopeful-
ly that was the switch game to turn on the un-
derstanding and the intensity they need.

Harris
Harris is off to a good start considering he
has only 73 carries. West Lowndes coach An-
thony King said Harris has transitioned into a
bigger role on offense this season after he spent
most of the past two seasons in the secondary. A
year ago, Harris rushed for 532 yards and eight
touchdowns. This year, the Panthers (3-3, 2-2)
are trying to spread the carries between Harris
and Trae Williams to keep both players fresh.
The strategy has enabled Harris to surpass his
touchdown total from last season at the midway
point of the season.
Eric feels every time he touches the ball
he can take it to the house, King said. That
is what we try to do. We try to put him in situa-
tions he can take it to the house. He runs hard.
Whether he gets 1 or 2 yards, he is going to give
you everything he has got.
Harris said an improved mental approach
has allowed him to shoulder a bigger burden.
He said he talked with King in the offseason
and knew the Panthers had heightened expec-
tations for him. He said he worked hard in the
weight room to gain strength and to improve his
speed. In fact, he said he gained 10-15 pounds
he has since lost through the wear and tear of
practice and games. Still, Harris has stayed con-
sistent, rushing for 116 yards in a victory against
Ethel, 118 in a loss to Pelahatchie, and 108 in a
victory against Montgomery County.
I really depend on my offensive line, Harris
said. We have a lot of young ones on the offen-
sive line with two or three veterans. I depend on
them to help me fnd a hole or room to run. They
have played a big part in me being a superstar
on offense.

D
EAR ABBY:
My husband
and I go out
to dinner once
a month with a
couple we have
known for years.
Joe is an active
conversationalist,
while my husband
is fairly quiet.
The problem
is Joe address-
es only me and
stares at me
throughout the
meal. I think its
just a bad habit
he has acquired.
To no avail I have tried various
seating arrangements to avoid
the constant stare. It makes
me very uncomfortable. I feel
bad for my husband, who is
totally ignored, but doesnt
seem to care as long as the
food is good!
How do I get Joe to include
my husband in the conver-
sation and rest his gaze
elsewhere? I would never say
anything to Mrs. Joe about it
because I dont want to make
her uncomfortable, too. I really
want to continue the friendship
and the socializing, but Id like
to feel more relaxed at the
dinner table. Any suggestions?
DISTRESSED DINER
DEAR DISTRESSED: You
are not helpless. The next time
Joe directs his comments and
questions only to you, toss the
verbal ball to your husband and
say, Honey, what do YOU think
about that? It will give him an
opening to enter the conver-
sation.
As for the staring, Joe may
not be aware of
what hes doing.
You could bring
it to his atten-
tion by simply
saying: You keep
looking at me,
Joe. Do I have
food in my teeth?
Is my lipstick
smeared? Then
haul out a com-
pact and make a
show of checking
for yourself. It
may help to curb
his discomfting
habit.
DEAR ABBY:
Im single and have grown chil-
dren. I know I am not going to
live forever, and I want to make
sure I am not a burden to them
even after death. I have a will
and no bills beyond my house
and normal living expenses.
What else do I need to do to
make sure everything is taken
care of when Im gone? PRE-
PARING IN ADVANCE
DEAR PREPARING: Do you
have an advance directive
for health care in case you
become so ill before your death
that you cant speak for your-
self? Do you have at least one
health care advocate who will
ensure your wishes are carried
out? Do you have a cemetery
plot selected and paid for, so
your children wont have to do
it? How about money set aside
for your funeral or memorial?
If the answer to each of
these questions is yes, all you
need to do is make certain
your children are aware of it. If
not, then get busy!
DEAR ABBY: Im 14 and in
the eighth grade. Some of my
friends have problems with
body odor. It makes it hard for
me to be around them. They
are all nice people, but some-
times I cant breathe when Im
near them.
Some of my other friends
say I should tell them, but Im
not sure how without hurting
their feelings. The odor ranges
from breath to body. Abby,
they are known throughout our
school for being the smelly
ones. How do I tell them
without offending them?
BREATHLESS IN BEACHWOOD,
OHIO
DEAR BREATHLESS: I agree
that telling people they have
bad breath or body odor can
be embarrassing. But to do
so is not hurtful; in fact, it is
doing the person a huge favor.
The way to do it is PRIVATELY.
This is important because your
friends are probably not aware
that they have a problem or
have been causing one.

Dear Abby
Dear Abby
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Oct.
8). Overdoing things is counter-
productive this month. You are
lucky when you relax, do less
and let things unfold, espe-
cially in matters of the heart.
November brings news that
youll act on and eventually turn
into a moneymaking opportuni-
ty. Sever a tie in January, and
youll make three more that
better suit your life. Cancer and
Virgo people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 24, 33, 31,
28 and 17.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Everyone is fawed in
some way. Accepting your own
imperfections takes courage.
You dont have to be fearless;
you only have to be willing to
endure the fearful feelings and
stand by yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). The way to amplify your
attractive qualities is to feel
good inside about who you are.
A stellar shampoo is an easier
route, but you wont be sorry
for the effort you make to get
right with yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Dont start a competition where
there doesnt need to be one.
Why put yourself in a position
that requires you to do more
just to prove a point? Besides,
it will be a pain if you have to
soothe the ego of a sore loser.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Youll have many options,
and youre in just the mood to
make the most of them. You
can clearly see what needs
to happen next, and youll do
the thing that makes you feel
healthy, robust and vital.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Progress is coming gradually
these days so gradually, in
fact, that you may be too impa-
tient to call it a win. Day-to-day
forward movement will contrib-
ute more to your success than
a sudden sweeping victory.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Superfcial beauty is as much
an illusion as superfcial ugli-
ness. Youre after something
deeper now, a kind of beauty
that is unchanged by the pas-
sage of time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
When its time to call on a
stranger for help, for instance
a repair person or other pro-
fessional, you may encounter
a certain amount of reluctance
in yourself. Today this is an
instinct to heed, not a fear to
overcome.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The situation you believe
is causing you unhappiness
is actually not the cause at
all. The cause is something
random, and the solution is
exercise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Beetles and roaches
were born with hard shells on
their backs, but the hardest
parts of you are on the inside
and theyre also the softest.
Surrender to your human frailty,
and youll fnd the sense of
connection you seek.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Refrain from comparison.
Right now, youre likely to feel
threatened by other peoples
assets, which in reality have
nothing to do with your own
success. Do your best, and
ignore the rest.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Theres a quiet confdence
that comes from giving back
that cannot be duplicated
through any other action.
Selfess generosity orients you
differently. You radiate outward
instead of being self-con-
scious.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Forget about the mistakes
of the past; you now have the
chance to start new. Youll walk
a little faster and speak a little
louder today two of the main
reasons you get things done.
Horoscopes
Smith leads Jets past Falcons on game-winning rally in fnal minutes
By PAUL NEWBERRy
ATLANTA Geno Smith
wasnt fustered. Not after all the
mistakes in his frst four games.
Not after the Atlanta Falcons
went ahead on a touchdown with
less than 2 minutes remaining.
Looking like a wily ol veteran
instead of a rookie, Smith calmly
guided the New York Jets to an-
other victory.
Smith threw three touchdown
passes and directed a drive that
set up Nick Folks 43-yard feld
goal on the fnal play, giving the
Jets a 30-28 victory against the
staggering Falcons on Monday
night.
Its always been a dream of
mine since I was a kid to be in
those situations, Smith said.
After the Falcons went ahead
on Matt Ryans 3-yard touchdown
pass to Levine Toilolo with 1 min-
ute, 54 seconds remaining, Smith
completed four straight passes
and broke off an 8-yard run that
set up Folks feld goal as time ex-
pired.
The Jets (3-2) have been wait-
ing for this sort of performance
from Smith, who came into the
game leading the NFL with 11
turnovers, including eight inter-
ceptions. He was 16 of 20 for 199
yards and threw almost as many
touchdown passes as the four he
had in the frst four games.
My confdence is always sky-
high, Smith said. Nothing can
bring me down.
Smith put in extra work at
practice to cut down on the turn-
overs, and it sure paid off. He was
sacked four times but never lost
the ball.
Its a mindset, he said. I
made it my duty to come out here
and not put the ball on the ground
and not put my team in jeopardy.
The Falcons (1-4) rallied from
a 27-14 defcit in the fourth quar-
ter. Jacquizz Rodgers scored on a
pair of touchdown runs, and Ryan
also threw a scoring pass to Jason
Snelling.
But they couldnt stop Smith
when it mattered.
Hes a rookie, Atlanta safe-
ty William Moore said, and we
make him look like a 10-year vet-
eran.
Considered a Super Bowl
contender at the beginning of
the season, Atlanta is mired in a
three-game longest losing streak
its longest since 2007 head-
ing into a bye week.
