LABOR DAY MURDERS

‘The family has suffered too long’

Suspect in 1990
murders being held
on $11 million bond

Monday was Betty Jones’ birth-
day.
It was also the day Starkville Po-
lice Department investigators an-
nounced they may finally have her
killer in custody.
Sgt. Bill Lott at times appeared
emotional as he announced in a press
conference Monday morning that
a suspect has been charged in the
city’s oldest cold case — the Sept. 3,
1990, attacks that led to the deaths of
Jones, 65, and Kathryn Crigler, 81.
“Kathryn and Betty were strong
women,” said Lott, who has worked
the case for 14 years, in an interview
after Monday’s press conference.

With it being (Betty’s) birthday, it’s
really special to be announcing the
arrest of her killer.”
Michael Wayne Devaughn, 51, of
Rienzi, was charged Saturday with
capital murder and sexual battery.
He was in the Tishomingo County
Jail for unrelated drug charges, when
a DNA sample linked him to the cold
case.
According to an affidavit SPD re-
leased Monday, Devaughn allegedly
attacked the two women in Crigler’s
home at 306 Highway 82 E. on Labor
Day 1990. He cut Jones’ throat with a
knife before sexually assaulting Cri-
gler, who was taken to the hospital
where a DNA profile was developed
from a rape kit.
Crigler later died from her inju-
ries.
The crimes were committed while
Devaughn was robbing the women,
according to the affidavit.

rape kit was matched to DNA from a

Science-based crime-solving
Private labs use growing
number of resources
to help law enforcement
match suspects
to DNA profiles
By ISABELLE ALTMAN
ialtman@cdispatch.com

In 2010, forensic DNA analyst

Kathryn Rodgers created a DNA
profile of the suspect in a 30-year-
old sexual assault.
“At the time, I believe they didn’t
even have to have a full sexual as-
sault kit formed — I don’t know if
they even did them — but they
did have at least one swab taken
from the victim’s body,” said Rod-
gers, who has worked for 10 years
at Scales Laboratory in Brandon.
“... We tried DNA testing on it and
specifically Y chromosome analy-
sis, which is specific for Y chromo-
somes DNA which is handy in a lot
of sexual assault cases with female
victims. And we did get a pretty
good Y chromosome profile.”
It’s far from the only cold case
Rodgers and other forensic scien-
tists have contributed to solving
by creating DNA profiles out of ev-
idence collected before DNA anal-
ysis was something law enforce-
ment even knew to use in criminal
investigations. As DNA technology
and science advances, more law en-
forcement agencies are turning to
that branch of science to find new
leads in cold cases.
Two such cold cases in the Gold-
en Triangle area have resulted in
arrests in the last two years. In

resident Mack Fowler. On Monday,
Starkville Police Department an-
nounced the arrest of 51-year-old
Michael Devaughn for the 1990 La-
bor Day murders of Starkville resi-
dents Betty Jones, 65, and Kathryn
Crigler, 81.
In both cases, law enforcement
had collected DNA from crime
scenes before the departments had
a policy of finding labs to create
DNA profiles.
It’s evidence that leaves “no wig-
gle room,” said SPD Sgt. Bill Lott,
lead investigator for the Labor Day
murders.
“You know you’ve got a good
instrument of evidence when you
have something like that,” he said.
“It doesn’t discriminate and there’s
no bias. The science is the science.
That’s why, to me, I love the science
issue. It is what it is.”

Hurricane Michael gains strength on course for north Florida

Anticipated landfall is expected Wednesday on northeast Gulf Coast
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Michael gained
new strength over warm trop-
ical waters amid fears it would
swiftly intensify into a major
hurricane before striking Flori-
da’s northeast Gulf Coast, where
frantic coastal dwellers are
boarding up homes and seeking
evacuation routes away from the
dangerous storm heading their
way.
A hurricane hunter plane that
bounced into the swirling eye of
Michael off the west tip of Cuba
late Monday found wind speeds
were rising even as forecasters
warned the storm could reach
major hurricane status with
winds topping 111 mph by Tues-
day night. Anticipated landfall
is expected Wednesday on the
northeast Gulf Coast, where au-
thorities warned of a potentially
devastating strike.
By early Tuesday, Michael’s
top sustained winds had risen
some to 90 mph as it headed
north at 12 mph. The storm was
centered about 390 miles south
of Apalachicola and 420 miles
south of Panama City, Florida.
Hurricane-force winds extended
outward up to 40 miles from the
core and tropical-storm-force
winds out 195 miles. Michael
was lashing western Cuba on
Monday with heavy rains and
strong winds.
Forecasters warned that Mi-
chael, now a Category 1 storm,
could dump up to a foot of rain
in western Cuba, potentially
triggering flash floods and mud-
slides in mountain areas.
Disaster agencies in El Sal-
vador, Honduras and Nicara-
gua reported 13 deaths as roofs
collapsed and residents were
carried away by swollen rivers.
Six people died in Honduras,
four in Nicaragua and three in
El Salvador. Authorities were
also searching for a boy swept
away by a river in Guatemala.
Most of the rain was blamed on
a low-pressure system off the
Pacific coast of El Salvador. Hur-
ricane Michael in the Caribbean
could have also contributed.
On the Florida Panhandle,
Escambia County Sheriff David
Morgan bluntly advised resi-
dents who choose to ride out the
storm that first responders won’t
be able to reach them during
or immediately after Michael
smashes into the coast.
“If you decide to stay in your
home and a tree falls on your
house or the storm surge catch-
es you and you’re now calling for
help, there’s no one that can re-
spond to help you,” Morgan said
at a news conference.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott called
Michael a “monstrous hurri-
cane” with a devastating po-
tential from high winds, storm
surge and heavy rains. Scott
declared a state of emergency
for 35 Florida counties from the
Panhandle to Tampa Bay, activat-
ed hundreds of Florida National
Guard members and waived
tolls to encourage those near the
coast to evacuate inland.

JACKSON — The FBI
says a former sheriff in
Mississippi who authori-

Informed communities are the best communities
OXFORD —
Newspapers are
businesses like no
other. While other
employers contrib-
ute to community
life, newspapers,
when operating at
their best, are cen-
ters for community
conversation and
drive the quality of
community life. Charlie Mitchell
Newspapers may
never again have
the volume of advertising that
sustained them through most
of the last century. Times have
been and continue to be tough
for the printed press, but the
larger risk is to the communi-
ties they serve.
The newspaper business
model has always been, in a
word, atypical.
A farmstand illustrates a
normal buy-sell transaction. A
customer provides cash to the
person who grew the tomatoes
in exchange for the tomatoes.
American journalism has a
one-off.
Long ago, advertisers
recognized that the best way to vertisers. Still, after a century
reach customers was to piggy-
back with information people
were seeking. For
instance, a sports
fan checking scores
in the paper might
glimpse a tire sale
ad and remember
his own worn treads
and go shopping.
The newspaper,
in turn, would take
the revenue from
the tire advertiser
and pay the sports
writer. This model
kept subscription
prices low, usually not even
enough to pay the cost of paper
and ink.
Marketing in digital times
is very different. People with
real estate, cars, clothing and
groceries to sell have another
pathway to shoppers, a path-
way that has increasingly cut
into newspaper revenue during
the past 15 or 20 years. Almost
all newsrooms have downsized,
and remaining employees have
been expected to do more and
more with less and less.
Of course, newspapers were
early to embrace the digital
space and to court online ad-
of paying only a fraction of the
cost of daily delivery of news
and information, customers
understandably think online
news should be free, too.
It’s National Newspaper
Week, by the way. Some pub-
lishers will fret about the “good
old days” being past and gone.
Some will talk up their ideas
to “embrace the future.” A
third conversation —the most
important one — should center
on the value good newspapers
bring to communities as well
as what’s lost and who suf-
fers when this component is
missing.
The most obvious loss is
jobs. When every crossroads
had a newspaper and bigger
cities had several, newspaper
employment was one of the
largest categories in America.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reports that in the last 10 years,
newspaper employment has
gone down by half.
The less obvious and more
important loss is to community
well-being.
As a candidate and as pres-
ident, Donald Trump has done
everything in his power to
discredit the media, which he
sees as evil. Bashing journal-
ism was a central theme during
his rally in North Mississippi
last week. Credit him for using
the media as a foil to advance
his agenda, but he didn’t invent
it. It’s a proven tactic.
Do note, however, not a
single “positive” he cited had
not been reported by the media
he loathes. Weirdly, like his
predecessors, he uses facts
gleaned from the media to
bash the media. Well, OK.
Like almost all public officials
before him, news that he finds
favorable is accurate and news
that is critical is fake.
It has always worked to the
benefit of newspapers that peo-
ple are naturally curious. No
one, young or old, wants to be
that person who “hasn’t heard.”
Again, though, the stakes are
higher than being the cool per-
son who knows the latest.
Two things make democracy
work: Open government and an
informed public. Having one or
the other won’t do. Got to have
both.
To date, the latter portion
has been provided by private
media that found it profitable
to feed the public’s curiosi-
ty and enjoy the support of
“ride along” advertisers. That
model is not nearly as viable
as it once was and, as a con-
sequence, communities large
and small stand to become less
self-aware, less vibrant, less
functional.
And that’s not good.
Is there reason for opti-
mism? Yes.
The business model for jour-
nalism has changed, but the
fundamentals have not. It’s not
true of everyone, of course, but
most people want to be good
citizens. They want truthful
and reliable information about
their city or town, state and na-
tion. It feeds helps them make
decisions.
In Mississippi, many com-
munity newspapers remain
dedicated to fulfilling their
public purpose. Here’s a predic-
tion: As long as people of those
towns are well-served with
ample and accurate news, they
will live in prosperous, progres-
sive communities.
The other view is, well,
disaster. It’s not just “too bad
for them” when a newspaper
fails. Like it or not, it’s “too bad
for us.”

Letter to the editor

Lessons from Harper Lee
Harper Lee’s novel, “To Kill Mock-
ingbird” achieved international fame
and an almost unequaled movie was
made staring Gregory Peck as Atticus
Finch. The story takes place in a small
town in Alabama in the early half of the
twentieth century. It is about a small
town lawyer who dares to take on a
client who has been falsely accused of
some sort of sexual assault. The client
is a black field hand and the accuser is
a white girl of dubious standing in the
community. It is pretty predictable as to
how this story will end.
The reason Miss Lee’s story was
internationally acclaimed and won a
Pulitzer Prize was that it embodied the
raw and ugly truth about what happens
to individuals when they are singled
out by prejudice and discrimination and
denied due process (the presumption of
innocence) because of their skin color
or gender. There was no doubt in the
novel that this was one time when the
woman’s word would go unquestioned.
As might be expected, the field hand
lost his life because he had no trust in
the legal system he found himself in.
I commend Mississippi schools that
continue this novel as required reading.
The fundamental truth in this novel is
that all of us have a god-given hope for
fairness and equal justice under the law
regardless of how many lives are lost
or destroyed by prejudice and a mob
mentality. The greatness of this book
lies in the way it tells a most tragic tale
through which good and just people are
even more compelled to seek out truth
and guarantee justice to all regard-
less of skin color or gender. What we
witnessed this past week could have
been lifted from the pages of Miss
Lee’s novel. .. Senators accusing all
men and especially “old, white and
powerful men.” This is not new. Along
with blacks, Asians, Irish Catholics,
Spaniards, etc., have all had their time
in the barrel. Remember this one, “the
only good injun is a dead injun”?
This is America. The Constitution
of this nation handed down to us, and
the quintessential definition as to who
we are as a people, makes no difference
under the law for women or men and
Lady Liberty is color-blind. I am ex-
tremely sad that there are undoubtedly
women who have been assaulted and
battered and have not had justice. They,
more than most of us, should be able
to understand the plight of the client
in Miss Lee’s book. However, justice is
never served by revenge, mob rule or
prejudice. Every one of us deserves,
under the Constitution and our Bill of
Rights, the presumption of innocence
until proven otherwise beyond a reason-
able doubt. Some said, “it’s only a job
interview.” If it ever was a job interview,
it ceased to be a job interview when
criminal accusations of sexual assault,
which don’t generally have a statute
of limitations, were made against the
“interviewee” on national TV.
Let’s say for the moment, that you
were robbed and you reported it to the
police. They would surely want to know
where and when it happened. They
would want to know how you got there
or how you got home after the robbery.
“I don’t know,” gives them little or
nothing to substantiate that a crime
took place. Worse, it effectively and
completely deprives the accused of any
reasonable way to defend himself. How
would anyone possibly defend them-
selves under those circumstances? It
would seem we have come full circle to
a small town in Alabama in the 1920’s.
One wonders, are we any better as a
people than we were 100 years ago.

Jean Coleman Blake, 90, surrounded by her
family, passed away peacefully on a beautiful Sat-
urday morning, October 6, 2018, at Baptist Me-
morial Hospital-Golden Triangle.
It was just the kind of day that Jean loved and
enjoyed. Jean was born and had lived in Colum-
bus, Mississippi most of her life. Being the faith-
ful and loving wife that she was, Jean willingly
moved with her husband, Bill, as his job with the
then Bell South Telephone Company took them
to Philadelphia and Meridian, Mississippi, over
to Atlanta, Georgia, and finally back home to Co-
lumbus. Jean made many friends along the way
and enjoyed all of her neighbors and church fam-
ily in each place that they lived. Settling down in
her hometown of Columbus, Jean became a long
time member of Fairview Baptist Church and
loved being a member of Pat Wallace’s Sunday
School Class.
Jean was born in Columbus on October 21,
1927. She was the daughter of Ed Coleman (Pop)
and Clara Jackson Coleman (Bomba). Jean’s love
of learning was satisfied with her graduating
from S. D. Lee High. Attending college “back
then” was unusual, but Jean earned her degree
from Bowling Green College in Kentucky and
returned to Columbus to use the bookkeep-
ing skills she had learned. She was a long time
bookkeeper at Puckett-McGee. When Dr. John
Murfee, Jr. came to town, she stepped in and kept
up with, not only all of his patients, but his books
for a number of years. Retirement was not going
to stop Jean and she worked part time keeping
her brother’s books at Dixie Auto Parts. There
was never a decimal out of place or a monthly bal-
ance not in balance with Jean at the helm.
After raising two wonderful and success-
ful children, Jean finally had the time to enjoy
her many roses and her large herb garden and
greenhouse. She never missed a time to be out-
side on her deck with her beloved husband, Wil-
liam Robert Blake of more than fifty years. After
dark, when there was no more daylight to enjoy,
she knitted scarves for the patients of the Baptist
Memorial Hospital Cancer Center. Never want-
ing any recognition, Jean was simply called the
“Scarf Lady” by the many patients that enjoyed
her gift. Of course, each day was finished with
reading and studying her Bible, her faith being
her guiding light.
Jean is predeceased by her husband, Bill, by
ten years. She leaves behind a loving son, Phillip
(Karen) of Montgomery, Alabama and her daugh-
ter, Dr. Bonnie, as she is affectionately called,
and her husband, Marvin, of Columbus. Remem-
bering and missing Jean is her niece, Carol Lit-
tlejohn (Mike Bernsen) and her best friend and
sister-in-law, Betsy Coleman. Continuing to cel-
ebrate her life is also her great nephew, Judson
Littlejohn and his wife, Jennifer, and their son,
Cole. Brought into Jean’s life through marriage
were four grandchildren and seven great-grand-
children which she accepted and considered her
own.
Following Jean’s wishes, the visitation was

2 Americans win economics Nobel

for work on climate and growth
‘Many people think that dealing with protecting
the environment will be so costly and so hard that
they just want to ignore the problem’
The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM — Just a day af-
ter a United Nations panel called for
urgent action on climate change,
the Nobel Prize in economics was
awarded Monday to one American
researcher for his work on the eco-
nomics of a warming planet and to
another whose study of innovation
raises hopes that people can do
something about it.
The Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences awarded the $1 million
prize Monday to William Nord-
haus of Yale University and to Paul
Romer of New York University.
Nordhaus, 77, who has been
called “the father of climate-change
economics,” developed models
that suggest how governments can
combat global warming. He has en-
dorsed a universal tax on carbon,
which would require polluters to
pay for the costs that their emis-
sions impose on society.
Romer, 62, who has studied why
some economies grow faster than
Nobel Prize winner Paul Romer
others, has produced research that
shows how governments can ad-
vance innovation. At a news confer-
ence Monday at NYU, Romer said
his research left him optimistic that
society can solve even a threat as
challenging as the warming of the
planet.
“Many people think that dealing
with protecting the environment
will be so costly and so hard that
they just want to ignore the prob-
lem,” Romer said. “I hope the prize
today could help everyone see that
humans are capable of amazing ac-
complishments when we set about
trying to do something.”
At a separate news conference
at Yale, Nordhaus suggested that
there was “pretty widespread ac-
ceptance” of climate change science
outside the United States, and he
expressed optimism that the United
States would come around.
Referring to the Trump adminis-
tration’s resistance, Nordhaus said:
“I think we just need to get through
what is a difficult period. But I’m
extremely confident it will happen.”
Sunday’s report from the U.N.’s
Intergovernmental Panel on Cli-
mate Change declared that man-
aging climate change could prove
a matter of life and death. It argued
that failing to prevent just one ex-
tra degree of heat could expose
countless people and ecosystems to
life-threatening conditions over the
next few decades.
Unlike Romer and Nordhaus, the
panel of scientists who produced
the U.N. report expressed little
hope that the world will rise to the
challenge. Still, in a 782-page docu-
ment that explicitly cited Nordhaus’
work, the U.N. organization spelled
out the difference that a single extra
degree of heat could make on this
fast-warming planet.
If world leaders could agree on
ways to limit future human-caused
warming to just 0.9 degrees Fahren-
heit (a half degree Celsius), instead
of the globally agreed-upon goal
of 1.8 degrees F (1 degree C), the
Earth’s weather, health and ecosys-
tems would be in far better shape.
Half as many people would lack
water. Fewer people would die or
get sick from heat, smog and in-
fectious diseases. Seas would rise
nearly 4 inches less. There would
be fewer heat waves, downpours
and droughts.

ance in Starkville Munic-
ipal Court. It is, however,
unclear whether the cig-
arette butt was secured
while Devaughn was in
the Tishomingo County
Jail or prior to that.
Lott said at Monday’s
press conference police
identified Devaughn
through a DNA match.
He said SPD sent a DNA
sample to the Scales Lab
in Brandon on Friday eve-
ning and received notifi-
cation about the match on
Saturday morning. Police
arrested Devaughn later
that day.
Police declined to
speak about what led to
securing a DNA match for
Devaughn.
“There’s a difference
when you’re talking about
a cold case and you know
nothing,” Lott said. “Now
we have a person who has
been arrested. That per-
son is innocent until prov-
en guilty. It’s not his job to
prove his innocence — it’s
our job to prove it and we
do not want to be loose-
lipped with any informa-
tion other than what we
can speak to and what we
do know.”
SPD Chief Frank Nich-
ols said the department
has tested more than
60 potential suspects
through the years in an
attempt to find the perpe-
trator.
Devaughn is being held
in Oktibbeha County Jail
on a total of $11 million
bond. He is scheduled to
appear again in municipal
court on Thursday.
If convicted, Devaughn
could face death or life in
prison without parole for
the capital murder charge,
and up to 30 years in pris-
on for the sexual battery
charge.
Persistence pays off
Lott started working
on the Labor Day mur-
der case in 1998 until he
left SPD in 2009 to serve
with the military in Af-
ghanistan. When he re-
turned in 2013, according
to Starkville Police Chief
Frank Nichols, he asked
to be put back on the case.
Lott initially had to
serve with the patrol di-
vision upon returning to
SPD, but Nichols said Lott
insisted on continuing to
try to solve the murders.
“I said, ‘Bill, I don’t
know if we can do it be-
cause we’re so short — I
don’t know if we have the
manpower to do it,’” Nich-
ols said. “He says, ‘I’ll do it
on my time off. … When I
get off from doing my reg-
ular job, I’ll work the cold
case. For free.’”
Nichols, during Mon-
day’s conference, lauded
Lott’s persistence in work-
ing on the case through
the years.
“It was that kind of ded-
ication that he was driv-
en to make sure that this
person was brought to jus-
tice,” Nichols said. “He’d
come and brief me about
once a month, or he’d send
me an email at 3 o’clock
in the morning and it’d
be about two pages. He’d
be telling me all this stuff
about DNA that I didn’t
really understand, and I’d
get him in my office and
say ‘Bill, break this down
in layman’s terms so I can
know what’s going on,’
and he would explain to
me the progress that he
was making.’”
Moving the case forward
Sixteenth Circuit Dis-
trict Attorney Scott Co-
lom, who attended Mon-
day’s press conference,
said his office will do all it
can to move the case for-
ward quickly.
“It’s on an expedited
track,” Co-
lom said.
“It’s going
to have
the No. 1
priority in
my office.
We’re going
to present it Colom
to the grand
jury as quickly as we can.
We’re going to work with
the courts to make sure
due process is upheld for
this young gentleman. But
there’s no doubt that this
case can’t linger like some
cases that are fresher be-
cause of the reality of the
family has suffered and
delayed too long.”

DNA
Continued from Page 1A
During the Labor Day
murders investigation,
Lott worked with both
Scales in Brandon and
Reston, Virginia-based
Parabon NanoLabs —
both private labs which
analyze DNA evidence
collected from crime
scenes to provide law en-
forcement with leads in
violent crimes like murder
and sexual assault. Lott
did not indicate how each
lab helped in the case or
making the arrest, citing
the ongoing investigation.
Finding matches
Scales receives evi-
dence from law enforce-
ment around the state —
sometimes cold cases and
sometimes not.
“We’re typically tasked
with looking for potential
sources of DNA on items
of crime scene evidence,
whether it be just through
contact — you know, DNA
is shed through our skin
cells so just by having
contact or handling an
item, there’s potential for
leaving skin cells behind
— or through body fluids
— blood, semen, saliva,”
Rodgers said.
With luck, she said,
they can create a sin-
gle-source profile, mean-
ing a complete DNA pro-
file of one individual that
can be compared to a sus-
pect or victim in a crime.
“If an exact match for
that is found, then we’re
talking about frequencies
of less than 1-in-999 tril-
lion of finding that profile
again in the general world
population, with the ex-
ception of identical twins,”
Rodgers said. “In those sit-
uations when we’re deal-
ing with an exact match,
single-source profile, that
frequency is so low that
most of the time, that per-
son’s profile is considered
to be unique to them and
so a match like that would
be considered conclusive.”
Investigators can also
compare those profiles
to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s Combined
DNA Index System (CO-
DIS), a national database
of DNA profiles from peo-
ple who have been arrest-
ed or convicted of crimes.
Other sources
for DNA matching
The catch with that
is that if a perpetrator
hasn’t been arrested for
anything, then his or her
match won’t be in the da-
tabase — which is where
Parabon comes in,” said
Ellen Greytak, director
of bioinformatics and the
Snapshot division at Para-
bon.
“Traditional forensic
DNA analy-
sis is just for
matching
DNA from a
crime scene
to an indi-
vidual, so
either a sus-
pect you’ve Greytak
already identified or to a
database,” Greytak said.
“And it’s great for that,
but if you don’t get a hit
in either of those places,
it can’t really tell you any-
thing else. What we’re try-
ing to do is generate new
information, new leads out
of that DNA.”
Using evidence from
crime scenes, Parabon
scientists can utilize DNA
phenotyping.
“We predict an indi-
vidual’s physical traits
— their eye color, their
hair color, their ancestry,
their face shape ... from
the DNA and that can help
the investigators figure
out who they should and
shouldn’t be looking for,”
she said. “We’re not pro-
ducing a photograph of
the individual, but we’re
producing a description of
them.”
They also utilize Ge-
netic Genealogy, which
means they run the DNA
against public database
GEDmatch, a database
similar to Ancestry.com,
in which people have
willingly submitted their
DNA knowing law en-
forcement can use it to
identify remains or nar-
row down suspect lists in
violent crimes.
It’s a new branch of sci-
ence that Parabon only be-
gan offering law enforce-
ment this year, Greytak
said. So far, there are no
laws regulating it, though
Parabon only runs DNA
profiles against public da-
tabases where they know
the individuals who sub-
mitted DNA have already
agreed law enforcement
can use it to compare in
investigations.
Parabon also specializ-
es in cold cases, Greytak
said. It’s rare for them to
have a case from the last
10 years. The oldest case
they have right now is 51
years old.
Both Greytak and Rod-
gers emphasized that the
age of the DNA matters
less than the size of the
DNA sample and how it
was stored.
“If the DNA is there
to begin with and it’s of
a decent-enough qual-
ity, meaning it has not
been degraded, well then
there’s no reason to not get
it as long as that sample’s
in good enough condition
as long as it’s not going to
damage or degrade,” Rod-
gers said.

For two weeks, Mississippi State football
coach Joe Moorhead can be spared the swarm
of criticism around his program. His Bulldogs
can go about their business without the obituary
of their season being drafted as they go. Maybe
quarterback Nick Fitzgerald can go a few days
without calls for Keytaon Thompson to take
over — or at least go with fewer of those calls.
MSU’s 23-9 victory against

stems from the fact that
there are eight juniors and

it also helps that several
players have gained addi-
tional experience playing
club volleyball.
Suggs and Tori Brooks
are two of the Lady Con-
federates who play club
volleyball. Suggs said
Brooks is one of the team’s
key offensive players. She
said Brooks is a “smart”
player who knows how to
generate kills whether it is
by a hard swing or by a tip.
Brooks said Suggs is a “re-
ally good leader” and the
most aggressive player on
the team.
“No matter where the
ball is she is there,” Brooks
said of Suggs. ‘She is al-
ways trying to be a good ex-
ample for the younger kids,
even the older players.”
Suggs said this year’s
team realizes it has talent
and that it is possible for
it to reach its goal, which
is a Class II State title. A
victory today likely would
finalize the first step of that
journey for Oct. 18, when
Caledonia would play host
to the runner-up in Region
2. Coach Brooks said that
likely would be Lewisburg,
a team Caledonia lost to
earlier this season and has
never defeated. Still, she
said she likes her team’s
chances if there is a re-
match because the Lady
Confederates played a
tough match the first time.
She hopes the final regu-
lar-season match and the
next week of practice will
help round everything into
shape.
Suggs and Tori Brooks
aren’t surprised the Lady
Confederates have had
such a successful season.
She said the dividends they
have earned to this point
stem from a “determined”
approach in the preseason
that encouraged all of the
players to push through
and to continue to work
hard. The players said
that mentality has enabled
them to have fun to outlast
opponents.
While a region title
would be wonderful, coach
Brooks and all of her play-
ers have their sights set
higher.
“We worked our tails off
this summer,” Suggs said.
“We always have, but this
season it just seems like
there is something differ-
ent about it. It seems like
everyone instead of doing
it halfway we’ll see half the
results, everyone is putting
in 100 percent and pushing
each time to be better and
to make it more focused.”

Brandon are doing a great job. They
watch the good and the bad on film
every week.”
Edmondson, a 5-foot-18, 150-pound
junior, had 18 carries for 71 yards and
three touchdowns last week. Caledo-
nia (3-4, 1-1 region) will look to build
on the victory at 7 p.m. Friday when
it plays host to Pontotoc (7-1, 2-0) in
its Homecoming game. Pontotoc and
Shannon are the remaining undefeat-
ed teams in Region 2. Caledonia and
Itawamba Agricultural High are 1-1,
while Mooreville and Amory are 0-2.
The top four teams in the region qual-
ify for the playoffs.
Caledonia’s growth from a win-
less season in 2017 to a postseason
contender this season starts with Ed-
mondson, who has worked in three
offenses in his time with the varsity
football program. Two years ago, he
worked behind Spencer Unruh in a
spread attack. Last season, he direct-
ed a Wing-T attack. This season, Kel-
ly’s “flex-bone offense” provides three
options on nearly every play and gives
the quarterback the responsibility to
take what the defense gives him.
Kelly said Mooreville opted to try
to take away Edmondson’s pitches to
senior running back JeDarius Gore
(team’s leading rusher with 528 yards
and eight touchdowns). As a result,
Edmondson had to shoulder a bigger
load carrying the ball. He also was
2-for-3 for 35 yards and a touchdown
in an effort that pushed the Confeder-
ates closer to the playoffs.
Kelly credits that film study for
helping Edmondson understand what
is going on and what to look for so he
can make split-second decisions. Kel-
ly said the coaches, too, have had to
learn patience with Edmondson and
the rest of the players on offense. He
admitted coaches typically don’t have
time to be patient, but he credited Ed-
mondson for being patient with the
coaches and has remained coachable
so he can learn how to get his team-
mates the ball in the best positions to
make plays.
Edmondson said working in differ-
ent offenses didn’t prevent him from
learning how to be patient in Kelly’s
system. Instead, Edmondson said the
late arrival — June 18 — of Kelly and
his staff pushed him to want to soak
up everything he could learn about
the offense.
“As we were learning it, I wasn’t pa-
tient about wanting to learn it. I want-
ed to get to the point and know what
I needed to do,” Edmondson said.
“Sometimes the play is going to bam,
bam, bam, and your reads are going
to be like that. Sometimes it is slow.
You just have to adjust. We do a good
job at practice and on film knowing
what to expect.
Edmondson said he understands
he might have to do something differ-
ent this week if Caledonia is going to
move the ball against one of the pre-
season favorites in Class 4A. That is
just another sign of growth for quar-
terback who is learning how to be a
leader.
“I feel like we could have done bet-
ter earlier in the year,” Edmondson
said. “Coming off that late start kind

in the spring we could have balanced ACROSS

Coming off a tense vic-
tory in Game 3, the Baby
Braves grabbed the lead
on pinch-hitter Kurt Suzu-
ki’s two-run single in the
fourth.
But Freese, the 2011
World Series MVP with
St. Louis, countered with
a pinch-hit single of his
own in the sixth off Brad
Brach , driving home
Cody Bellinger and Yasiel
Puig for a 3-2 lead.
“You just gotta be
ready,” Freese said.
“Whether you’re in high
school, college, whatever,
just be ready. You don’t
have to be the best play-
er in the world, you don’t
have to make the most
money, but you’re going
to have a shot to do some-
thing cool. I learned that
early in my career. I just
try and stick with it.”
Ryan Madson earned
the win by getting the fi-
nal two outs in the fifth
to escape a bases-loaded
jam. The Braves’ final
gasp came in the eighth,
when Lucas Duda’s drive
into the second deck in
right drifted foul with two
on against Kenta Maeda.
Duda flied out to end the
inning, and Atlanta went
down quietly in the ninth.

positive, stay strong and take
action. This will require that
you focus well, steering clear
of certain trains of thought. Put
your mental blinders on.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Astros
Continued from Page 3B
the postseason and Hous-
ton’s bullpen combined
for four scoreless innings,
including six straight outs
by winner Collin McHugh
, as the AL West champi-
ons served notice that a
second Series title is on
their itinerary.
After the Astros fin-
ished this demolition of
the Indians, they briefly
celebrated on the infield
at Progressive Field be-
fore donning ski goggles
in their clubhouse.
For the Indians, an-
other postseason ended
earlier than planned.
Cleveland was beaten in
the first round for the sec-
ond year in a row — New
York came back from a
2-0 deficit in 2017 — and
baseball’s longest World
marriages. If
you’re sincere
about finding
the answers to
your questions,
they await you in
the office of a li-
censed therapist.
DEAR ABBY:
My older sister
recently passed
away after a
22-year battle
with lupus. She
beat the odds
for so long, and
even gave us the
miracle that is
her son.
Logically, I understand that
medically there was nothing
emotionally I feel like I killed
her because I went along with
the doctors. Is it normal to feel
this guilt?
I have nightmares every
night now because I hear
her last words. I see how
she was both on and off life
support. When I make myself
eat, I overeat. But honestly, I
could easily go back to never
eating like I did before. Is all
of this normal for the grief
process? — FEELING GUILTY
IN OREGON
DEAR FEELING GUILTY:
Yes, what you’re experienc-
ing is normal – to a degree.
However, if the nightmares
Everyone is different, but some
of the differences seem just
too vast to be worth the time
it will take to create a cohe-
sive bond. And yet, somehow,
you’ll do it. You’ll do it in the
name of peace, in the name of
tolerance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
To count on uncontrollable
circumstances is unwise and
sets up a precarious dynamic
where not getting what you
want leads to unhappiness. If
you must attach your well-being
to something, at least make it
something inside you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
To the naive eye, acting out may
seem to be a display of power
when in actuality it’s often a
display of powerlessness. The
cool, calm and collected individ-
Tuesday, October 9, 2018 5B
Series championship
drought will reach a 71st
anniversary.
The Indians hit just
.144 in the series, were
outscored 21-6 and have
lost six straight playoff
games. They were swept
for the first time since the
1954 World Series.
“We got to go home
now, before we’re ready
to,” manager Terry Fran-
cona said. “That hurts. It
always stings. I just told
the guys, we’ve got a num-
ber of guys that are free
agents. You know there’s
going to be some turn-
over, and it’s a real special
group to all of us.
“So that’s a hard one,
when you’re saying good-
bye before you’re ready
to.”
and feelings of guilt persist,
discuss them with a grief coun-
selor or a religious adviser.
You alluded to having
“gone along with the doctors.”
If by that you mean you agreed
that your sister should receive
palliative care at the end, you
did her a favor, not a disser-
vice.
DEAR ABBY: I dated this
woman for almost a year. It
ended when she gave me an
ultimatum: convert to her reli-
gion or walk. She is Pentecos-
tal, and I am Catholic. We are
both deeply rooted to our own
churches.
A few months have gone
by. She still has deep feelings
for me, but I don’t know if I
feel the same way because of
her ultimatum. One of us must
convert or we won’t be able to
move forward. But there are
big differences between the
two religions. What should I
do? — CONVERTING IN THE
SOUTH
DEAR CONVERTING: Be-
cause you are deeply rooted in
your Catholicism and no longer
sure you feel the same way
about her, let her go so she
can find a good Pentecostal
husband. Religion is some-
thing a person must believe in,
not switch to please someone
else. There are plenty of fish
in the sea for both of you, so
keep fishing.
ual is the one to be respected
and feared.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
The best thing you can do for
your soul today is to keep your
requirements to a minimum. Let
things be what they are. Trying
to control life will only restrict its
abundant generosity and dim its
vibrant affection for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Though there are obviously
many healthy and beneficial
aspects to society, this is no
time to follow blindly. Resist
the group mind. What the world
needs most from you is your
unique point of view.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
For thousands of years, the
natural habitat of man has been
nature. It’s proven that people
who live without greenery men-
tally fatigue faster than those
who regularly see plants. Today,
a natural environment puts you
at your best.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). If you make a mistake
today, it’s an excellent omen – a
sign that you’re really going for
it. You deserve a little credit
for that, right? Maybe even a
non-ironic pat on the back.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll find yourself once
again in a position where what
you want will be different from
what others want. However,
you’re also mighty persuasive
in your own quiet way, so this
shouldn’t stop you for long.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). While it’s great to be kind
to yourself every once in a
while, how much greater would
it be if you made a habit of it?
This has less to do with spend-
ing money as it does an overall
attitude of self-acceptance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Frustration will only
diffuse your power. It may be
unavoidable, and if you lose
your patience, definitely forgive
yourself. Then consider where
your expectation may have been
incorrect and adjust accordingly.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Your independent spirit
will be highlighted and you’ll be
most attracted to endeavors
you can do without outside
reassurance, encouragement,
opinions, advice, money or
support of any kind.
