With eight of the nine candi-

dates on hand for Tuesday’s Ward
1 city council candidate forum, the
100 or so residents who gathered at
Townsend Community Center were
given much to consider before go-
ing to the polls on Sept. 24.
From increasing the city’s tax
base through recruiting new busi-
ness to reducing crime, removing
blighted housing and supporting
education, candidates appealed to
their audience. There was even a
reference to John Fogerty lyrics.

Did you hear?
Lawyer: John Hinckley
interested in music industry job
Prosecutor: Allowing man who tried
to assassinate President Reagan
to relocate to California would give
the government ‘great pause’
By JESSICA GRESKO
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
man who tried to assassi-
nate President Ronald Rea-
gan is interested in getting
a job in the music indus-
try, possibly in California,
his lawyer said at a court
hearing in Washington on
Tuesday.
John Hinckley Jr., 64,
lives in Virginia and was
not present at the hearing.
A prosecutor said allowing
Hinckley to relocate to Cal-
ifornia for a music industry
job would give the govern-
ment “great pause.”
Hinckley spent decades
living at a psychiatric hos-
pital in Washington after
being found not guilty by
reason of insanity in the
1981 shooting that injured
Reagan and three others.
But health professionals
have said that the mental
illness that the 25-year-old
Hinckley was suffering
from when he shot Reagan
has been in full and stable
remission for decades.
U.S. District Judge Paul L.
Friedman has said he is no
longer a danger to himself
or others and has gradual-

Since 2016, Hinckley

ginia. Hinckley lives under
a set of 30 conditions Fried-

man gets reports on how

day, said he believes some
conditions can be loosened.
“Some conditions that
are now in place don’t need

said, though he didn’t spec-

Hinckley’s conditions
include living within a 75-

By JENNIFER PELTZ
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Americans are
commemorating 9/11 with mourn-
ful ceremonies, volunteering, ap-
peals to “never forget” and rising
attention to the terror attacks’ ex-
tended toll on responders.
A crowd of victims’ relatives is
expected at ground zero Wednes-
day, while President Donald Trump
is scheduled to join an observance
at the Pentagon. Vice President
Mike Pence is to speak at the third
attack site, near Shanksville, Penn-
sylvania.
Former President George W.
Bush, the commander-in-chief at
the time of the 2001 attacks, is due
at an afternoon wreath-laying at the
Pentagon.
Eighteen years after the dead-
liest terrorist attack on American
soil, the nation is still grappling
with the aftermath at ground zero,
in Congress and beyond. The at-
tacks’ aftermath is visible from
airport security checkpoints to Af-
ghanistan. A rocket exploded at the
U.S. embassy as the anniversary
began in Afghanistan, where a post-
9/11 invasion has become Ameri-
ca’s longest war.

HBO produces documentary
to help kids understand 9/11
By DAVID BAUDER
AP Media Writer
NEW YORK — For students from elementary to high school, the
Sept. 11 terrorist attack isn’t a memory. It’s history. A new HBO docu-
mentary that debuts on the event’s 18th anniversary treats it that way.
The necessity of her project, “What Happened on September 11,”
struck filmmaker Amy Schatz when a third grade girl told her about a
playdate where she and a friend Googled “Sept. 11 attacks.”
“When a child does that, what he or she finds are some pretty horrif-
ic images that are not necessarily appropriate for kids,” Schatz said on
Tuesday. “So I felt a responsibility to try to fill that void and try to give
kids something that isn’t horrifying and kind of fills in the gap.”
The half-hour film debuts Wednesday at 6 p.m. A companion piece,
focusing on the memories of former students at a high school near
Ground Zero, premieres three hours later.
Schatz has made a specialty of creating films that seek to explain the
inexplicable, with “The Number on Great-Grandpa’s Arm” tackling the
Holocaust and another on the Parkland shooting.
In this case, she worked with the Sept. 11 remembrance museum on
the story, filming two men who work there giving presentations to third
graders. Stephen Kern, who worked on the 62nd floor of the World
Trade Center’s North Tower, talks about being evacuated. Matthew
Crawford, whose father was a firefighter who died that day, discuss-
es his experience. She also found a middle school in Secaucus, New
Jersey, that teaches history through art and poetry, helping students
process the emotions of what they learned.

Columbus police assist individual Driver dies and 8

threatening to jump off bridge
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
Three Columbus police officers
spent several minutes Tuesday night
working with an individual threaten-
ing to jump off the Luxapalila bridge.
First responders received a call
about the individual just after 6
p.m., according to a Columbus Po-
lice Department press release. The
subject was standing on the top rail
of the bridge’s north side where it
crosses the river on Highway 182.
Police Chief Fred Shelton said offi-
cers were on the bridge two minutes
later.
Police and Columbus Fire and
Rescue officials immediately closed
the bridge, and the three officers
got close enough to the individual

to start a dialogue. Shelton said they
physically lifted the victim from the
top railing. After 10 more minutes of
the officers and other first respond-
ers talking with the subject, an am-
bulance took the subject to Baptist
Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle
for medical care.
He added if the subject had
jumped while the officers had hold
of the person, they could have fallen
as well.
Shelton said no charges will be
filed and that police are assisting
the individual in seeking treat-
ment. He also thanked the anon-
ymous caller who alerted first re-
sponders.
“I can’t say enough about our of-
ficers,” he said in the press release.
“We never know what these fine
men and women will be called on
to do when they report for duty and
this is a case of compassion and ac-
tion, saving someone from injury
or death. ... It is easy to forget these
officers are called on daily to put
themselves in harm’s way and they
did that tonight without hesitation.
This shows the true spirit of these
law enforcement officers.”
children are injured

Officials: Bus driver likely
suffered a medical emergency
The Associated Press
WALNUT — A school bus driver is dead and
eight children have injuries after a school bus
rolled over in northern Mississippi.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol tells news
outlets that the bus driver died in the Tuesday
morning incident, with the bus ending up on its
side in a ditch.
Officials tell WMC-TV that the 63-year-old
driver, Chester Cole, likely suffered a medical
emergency. Benton County Coroner Larry Hob-

slumped over in his seat before the crash.

event called The Death
March, The Black March
or The Forgotten March.
WWII veterans often
did not tell their children
about their wartime expe-
riences. Weaver revealed
a few things, such as
the scar on his back, his
frostbitten feet and stories
about one of the POW
camp’s guards, “a giant
of a man” who tormented
the prisoners, Hartman
said.
She began her re-
search when she came
across a book about The
Death March by Laura
Edge, a Michigan resident
and fellow daughter of a
WWII POW. A 2017 At-
lanta Journal-Constitution
article profiled Hartman
and Edge’s travels to
Europe to research their
fathers’ imprisonment
and retrace their steps on
the march.
Hartman emphasized
the British and American
airmen imprisoned in
the Stalag Luft IV camp
were practically children,
mostly between the ages
of 18 and 20, and the “old
men” of the group were
24. They did not have
sufficient clothing for
the Death March when it
began in February 1945
in subzero temperatures.
They also did not have ac-
cess to fresh water or reli-
able food sources, so they
hunted small animals and
scrounged for vegetables
in farmers’ fields.
“Cigarettes, although
they probably killed
them in their 70s, kept
them alive on this march
because they traded them
for the farmers’ food,”
Hartman said.
The prisoners marched
to a camp in Gudow, Ger-

many, that was liberated
by British forces on May
2, 1945. After his return
home, Weaver attended
Mississippi State Uni-
versity and later owned
an Amoco gas station on
Highway 12.
He struggled for a
while with nightmares
of the war and even put
his fist through a wall
one night, but he hated
conflict and lived by a
“kill them with kindness”
mentality, Hartman said.
“Sometimes service
people come back and
they’re still ready to fight,
but for my dad, it was the
opposite effect,” Hartman
said. “He had no patience
for the mistreatment of
any living being.”
Tess Vrbin/Dispatch Staff
According to the Atlan-
ta Journal-Constitution,
the Amoco gas station
was bombed, most likely
by the Ku Klux Klan,
after Weaver allowed a
group of Freedom Riders
to use a white restroom in
the 1950s.
More family discoveries
Hartman has previous-
ly shared her research at
the posts in Ackerman
and Savannah, Georgia.
She learned at her presen-
tation in Ackerman that
her grandfather, Joseph
F. Weaver, a World War I
veteran, co-founded and
attended the first meeting
of the American Legion in
Paris in 1919. He found-
ed Choctaw County’s
American Legion post
after he returned home to
Ackerman.
Hartman said her on-
going research is a “great
hobby” that has created
a network of other WWII
researchers and children
of POWs, she said.
Starkville resident Jim
Hemphill knew Weaver
several decades ago but
did not know Hartman,
and he found out Sunday
upon learning about the
presentation that their
fathers were in the same
POW camp and both part
of The Death March, he
said.
Hemphill’s father,
James Hemphill Jr., was
shot down and captured
in Austria and spent 15
months as a POW. Even
so, he later served two
years in the Korean War.
James Hemphill Jr., a
Jackson native, was diag-
nosed with post-traumatic
stress disorder when he
was in his 50s and the
illness was just starting to
become known. Only then
did he start talking about
his experiences as a POW,
including being crowded
into the hull of a ship in
the Baltic Sea for three
days, Jim Hemphill said.
“It’s a wonder any of
them ever lived through
it, but I’m glad they did
because I wouldn’t be
here,” he said.
Hartman brought four
family members to her
presentation, and she said
her goal is to inspire oth-
ers to pursue the stories
in their families, she said.
“All of you need to go
talk to your elders, talk to
your fathers and find out
these stories before these
stories are lost,” Hartman
said.

WASHINGTON — The propor-

insurance edged up in 2018 — the
first evidence from the government

it was two decades ago. And despite
strong growth last year in the num-
ber of Americans working full time
and year-round, the number of peo-
ple with private health insurance
remained flat.
The Census report found that
27.5 million people, 8.5 percent of
the population, lacked health insur-
ance coverage in 2018. That was an
increase of 1.9 million uninsured,
or 0.5 percentage point.
One bright spot in the report was
that the poverty rate fell for a fourth
straight year to 11.8 percent, its low-
est point since 2001. The proportion
of households led by women that
were poor reached a record low.
“While any reduction in poverty
or increase in income is a step in the
right direction, most families have
just barely made up the ground lost
over the past decade,” said Elise
Gould, senior economist at the lib-
eral Economic Policy Institute.
Though income inequality nar-
rowed last year, it remains near
record levels reached in 2017. Last
year, the richest 5 percent of the
U.S. population captured 23 percent
of household income.
Still, steady hiring and an unem-
ployment rate at 3.7 percent, near a
five-decade low, have helped raise
earnings for lower-paid workers em-
ployed by restaurants, warehouses,
shipping firms and other sectors of
the economy. This trend has con-
tributed to a decline in poverty.
On health insurance, more peo-
ple were covered by Medicare, re-
flecting the aging of baby boomers.
But Medicaid coverage declined.
The number of uninsured children
also rose. And there were more un-
insured adults ages 35-64.
Though the increase in the
number of uninsured Americans
was modest, it could be a turning
point, the first real sign that cover-
age gains under Obama could be
at least partly reversed. This year,
the number of uninsured could rise
again. That’s because a previous
Republican-led Congress repealed
fines under the Affordable Care Act
that had been intended to prod peo-
ple to sign up for coverage.
overhaul how Medicare
pays for drugs
California Democrat has been
in discussions with the White
House for months about potential
actions to curb drug costs
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A draft plan from House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi leaked Tuesday would over-
haul how Medicare pays for prescription drugs,
by negotiating prices for costly medications, curb-
ing annual price hikes, and limiting what seniors
pay out of their own pockets.
With President Donald Trump highly interest-
ed in a deal on prescription drugs, the ambitious
plan appeared to be Pelosi laying down a mark-
er that represents what House Democrats would
want to see happen.
Pelosi’s office wasn’t commenting directly on
the leaked proposal, but spokesman Henry Con-
nelly said she’s working with leading Democrats
“to develop the boldest, toughest possible bill to
lower prescription drug prices for all Americans.”
The plan would also make Medicare’s negotiated
prices available to people with private insurance.
The California Democrat has been in discus-
sions with the White House for months about po-
tential actions to curb drug costs, but the outlook
remains uncertain.

Relatives of passengers killed in Boeing crash protest in DC

By DAVID KOENIG
AP Airlines Writer
Families of the pas-
sengers who died in one
of the Boeing 737 Max
crashes lobbied Transpor-
tation Secretary Elaine
Chao on Tuesday to slow
what they consider a rush
to let the plane fly again.
Two of the relatives
who took part in the two-
hour meeting in Washing-
ton said Chao promised
that the government will
take as long as necessary
to ensure that the plane
is safe but stopped short
of agreeing to an entire-
ly new, top-to-bottom re-
view.
A spokesman for Chao
said the department and
the Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration have taken
unprecedented steps to
understand the accidents
and the FAA’s certifica-
tion of the plane in 2017.
One of those steps, he
said, included Chao’s ap-
pointment of a special
committee to review the
FAA’s process of certify-
ing planes.
After the meeting,
several dozen relatives
held a vigil on the steps
of the Transportation De-
partment headquarters to
mark the six-month an-
niversary of the crash of
Ethiopian Airlines flight
302.

calling him an “incredible
artist whose unique style

But he was best known
for “The Americans,” a

the 1950s myth of bland
prosperity and opened
vast new possibilities for
photography, shifting the
paradigm from the por-
trait to the snapshot. As es-

ing care of his mother, Paulette became ill and
passed away in 1996. While continuing to care
for his mother, John would later meet and marry
one of his mother’s caregivers, Faye Edwards.

own, Faye’s sons and their families, along with
a host of caregivers and friends, cared for him
after her death.

wards and his wife, Brenda, of Corinth, MS, Joel
Edwards of Columbus, and Nathan Edwards and

Slimantics
Are we safer now than before 9-11?
Every generation
has that seminal
moment, an event
that stops us in our
tracks and is indeli-
bly written into our
memory.
For my parents,
both born in 1919,
that event was Pearl
Harbor. For my old-
er siblings, it was
the assassination of Slim Smith
John F. Kennedy.
For me, it was September
11, 2001.
I was 42 years old, living in
Mesa, Arizona, with my wife,
Susan, and two children, ages
9 and 13.
On that September morn-
ing, around 8:30, I wandered
into my bedroom where Susan
had stopped dressing and sat
at the foot of the bed, staring
at the TV, which was usually
little more than background
noise as we got ready for work. mal.” I do know that for two
I turned my attention to the
TV to see a plane fly directly
into a tall building. At that
instant, I thought it was some
sort of movie trailer, but soon
it was obvious this
was live television.
My second thought
was that it was a
terrible accident,
perhaps the pilots
had been disabled
somehow and
that the plane had
veered off course.
Many people as-
sumed that.
Then, the
next plane. Later,
reports of planes crashing
into the Pentagon, then a field
in Pennsylvania. The Twin
Towers collapsed and a tide
of smoke cascaded through
Manhattan like some great
rolling tide.
It didn’t seem real.
In the span of an hour,
America was left numb, disbe-
lieving, disoriented.
I don’t know when it was
that things “got back to nor-
weeks, there were no planes
flying in or out of the busy Sky
Harbor Airport. I do know that
American flags were plastered
on what seemed to be every
car back window or bumper
and flags were displayed on
the windows of homes an
businesses.
There was a fervor of unity
and patriotism and rage and,
still, disbelief.
It was our generation’s
Pearl Harbor.
Now, 18 years later, what
most people believed to be a
turning point seems to be rath-
er, a beginning of a new violent
America.
In the months after 9-11, we
were told that the event would
transcend partisan politics
and, for a time at least, that
seemed true.
But it didn’t last.
Our reaction to 9-11 proved
to be an over-reaction, I be-
lieve. Our rage obscured our
reason. We’ve have two wars
and a Middle East still con-
vulsed in bloodshed to show
for it.
We are more politically
divided than at any point since
the Civil War and for all our ef-
forts to “do something” about
terrorism, we find that we are
probably less safe now than we
were when we didn’t have to
take our shoes off to get on an
airplane.
Terrorism is no longer im-
ported: We grow our own.
This year alone, an estimat-
ed 313 people have died from
mass shooting incidents, the
overwhelming majority com-
mitted by U.S. citizens, not
Muslims or “illegal aliens.” We
are slaughtering each other.
After 9-11, our response
was both immediate and
strategic. Congress passed the
Patriot Act to allow our intelli-
gence agencies more freedom
in identifying and tracking
terrorism suspects. We even
created a national department,
the Department of Homeland
Security, equipped with broad
powers. We implemented
security measures in airports
and other public spaces that
would have been inconceivable
before 2001. We went to war.
Twice.
For all of those efforts, are
we safer? It’s a tough argu-
ment to support.
Consider that we have done
virtually nothing to prevent
the daily carnage — there
have been more mass shoot-
ings (four victims or more) —
than there have been days in
2019 — 313 such shootings in
254 calendar days.
In 2001, the overwhelm-
ing sentiment was we must
do something — anything,
really — to stop international
terrorism.
Our response to what can
only be considered as domes-
tic terrorism? Nothing.
I’m from a generation when
an single act of terrorism was
a stunning event, something
seared into our collective
conscience.
Now?
Domestic terrorism is just
another Tuesday or Wednes-
day.
Today, on the 18th anniver-
sary of 9-11, the only conclu-
sion that can reasonably be
drawn is that human life mat-
tered much more then than it
does today.

Another mass shooting,

In 1879, on the road leading into Dodge City, there stood
a sign. “The Carrying of Fire Arms Strictly Prohibited,” it
said.
As recounted in the book “Gun-
fight: The Battle Over the Right to
Bear Arms in America” by Adam
Winkler, the gun control ordinance
was the first law passed when the
city was organized in 1873. Nor was
Dodge unique. Many other western
towns, Wichita and Tombstone
among them, had similar laws.
The statutes don’t seem to have
been particularly controversial.
Though Dodge City was, by reputa-
tion if not always in actual fact, one Leonard Pitts

US expands hunting and fishing

at national wildlife refuges
‘It’s going to encourage new hunters and anglers
to enter the sport and fall in love with the
outdoors and become lifelong conservationists’
Ducks Unlimited CEO Adam Putnam
By KEITH RIDLER
The Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho — The Trump ad-
ministration said Tuesday that it is
expanding hunting and fishing in 77
national wildlife refuges in a move
that critics contend is deferring
management to states and could
harm wildlife.
The Interior Department’s U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service said hunt-
ers and anglers can shoot and cast
their rods on 2,200 square miles of
federally protected land in 37 states,
much of which is considered critical
habitat for waterfowl and other birds
to rest and refuel during their mi-
gration.
“This is the largest single effort to
expand hunting and fishing access
in recent history,” Interior Secretary
David Bernhardt said last month be-
fore the changes were posted Tues-
day in the Federal Register.
It’s the latest effort by the Trump
administration to open public lands
to recreation and industry, includ-
ing oil and gas drilling, which crit-
ics say comes at the expense of the
environment and wildlife.
President Donald Trump also
has scaled back two sprawling na-
tional monuments in Utah, a move
that opened the lands that were cut
to potential drilling and mining.
New plans for the monuments allow
more grazing and recreation.
Hunting and fishing will be al-
lowed at seven national wildlife ref-
uges for the first time and expand-
ed at 70 others. The agency, which
also now permits it at 15 national
fish hatcheries, said some 5,000
regulations have been eliminated
or simplified to match state rules.
Conservationists said the chang-
es went into effect without adequate
environmental review.
“While the Trump policy retains
federal ownership, it basically evis-
cerates federal management,” said
Jeff Ruch of Public Employees for
Environmental Responsibility.
“The states end up managing fed-
eral land with federal dollars but
following state laws. That’s a sea
change from federal management
for conservation and biodiversity
rather than promoting hunting.”
One of the big concerns is that
state and federal officials don’t ap-
pear to have a monitoring system to
see what effect the changes might
have, not only on game species but
those that aren’t hunted, Ruch said.
Hunting groups generally sup-
ported the changes.
Chief Executive Officer Adam
Putnam of Ducks Unlimited, a
group that works to conserve wa-
terfowl habitat, said the changes
wouldn’t harm wildlife populations.
He said simplifying regulations by
adopting state rules would draw
more people outdoors.
“It’s going to encourage new
hunters and anglers to enter the
sport and fall in love with the out-
doors and become lifelong conser-
vationists,” he said.

Weather chief thanks Alabama employees for Dorian forecast

By JAY REEVES
The Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.
— Struggling to keep
his emotions in check,
the head of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration both de-
fended President Donald
Trump’s administration
on Tuesday and thanked
forecasters who contra-
dicted the president’s
claims about Hurricane
Dorian threatening Ala-
bama.
Speaking to a meteorol-
ogy group, acting admin-
istrator Neil Jacobs said a
NOAA statement issued
Friday that criticized the
Birmingham-area Nation-
al Weather Service office
after it disagreed with
Trump was meant to clar-
ify “technical aspects”
about Dorian’s potential
impact.
“What it did not say,
however, was that we un-
derstood and fully sup-
port the good intent of
the Birmingham weather
forecast office, which was
to calm fears in support
of public safety,” Jacobs
said.
Jacobs, a career mete-
orologist, appeared near
tears at times. “This is
hard for me,” he said, his
voice choking as he ad-
dressed a hushed crowd
of several hundred.
Jacobs said there was
no pressure from the
Trump administration or
NOAA to change the way
branch offices communi-
cate forecasts to the pub-
lic. “No one’s job is under
threat — not mine, not
yours,” he said.
He later added:
“Weather should not be a
partisan issue. I’ve known
some of you for 25 years.
I haven’t changed. I’m
the same Neil I was last
Thursday,” referring to
the day before the NOAA
statement was issued.
Jacobs specifically
thanked Kevin Laws,
science and operations
officer with the weather
service office in Birming-
ham. Laws said he appre-
ciated the remarks by Ja-
cobs, whom he has known
for 20 years.
“Absolutely no hard
feelings,” Laws said.
The acting chief scien-
tist at NOAA previously
said the agency likely vi-
olated its scientific integ-
rity rules when it publicly
chastised the office in the
unsigned statement, and
Democratic Sen. Jeanne
Shaheen of New Hamp-
shire asked the inspector
general to investigate.
Past NOAA adminis-
trators, a former Nation-
al Weather Service chief
and a former National
Hurricane Center direc-
tor — among others —
have blasted the NOAA
statement as inappropri-
ate, saying they support-
ed the chastised Alabama
weather office.

She served as a municipal
court judge from 2010 until
2015. She also served as a drug
court judge during that period,
resigning those positions to
run for a seat in the Mississippi
House of Representatives.
She turned in her qualifying
documents less than an hour
before the 5 p.m. deadline Sept.
4.
“Actually, I did struggle with
the decision, even though I
picked up the papers two weeks
before,” Clinkscales said. “To
be honest, I was still trying to
decide if this was what God
wants me to do. I just kept being
pushed, not only by citizens,
but just that urge, that knowing
that we need positive change
and a good strong leader. I’m
prepared to do that.”
Clinkscales said she feels a
strong leader is needed to rep-
resent Ward 1.
“We need a leader that peo-
ple respect and that people feel
comfortable coming to,” she
said. “People want to be includ-
ed. I’ve been a visible face in
this community for a long time.
I think they’ll feel comfortable
coming to me.”
Clinkscales said Ward 1 has
problems unique to the other
wards, primarily in terms of ac-
cess.
“The lack of access is a prob-
lem,” she said. “We are kind of
quarantined off by the railroad.
We have no gas stations on this
side of town, for example. Sand-
field is an area that has not had
a lot of attention. I’d like to see
a park or recreation facilities,
something for the community.
Those are the kinds of things
that are specific to that area
that I’d like to see addressed.”

Patrick E. Holmes speaks at the candidate forum held for the Ward 1 council seat Tuesday night at Townsend

Retired Columbus Police Department assistant chief Joe Johnson moderated the event and asked candidates a

Referencing sports,
particularly teamwork,
was a common theme
during the 90-minute fo-

were given two minutes
each to respond to ques-
tions provided by the au-
dience.
“On a football team,
you have a quarterback,
but you also have to have
10 other players,” Trent
Bush noted.
“I’m a team player,”
said Ethel Stewart, for-
mer councilman Gene
Taylor’s sister. “There are
a million things I’d like
to do. As a team player, I
feel like I can get a lot of
things done.”
Bush, Stewart and Ter-
ry will join Nicole Clink-
scales, Patrick Holmes,
Tommy Jackson, Nedra

and Anthony Sanders on
the special-election bal-
lot to replace Taylor, who
passed away in August.
Sanders did not attend
Tuesday’s forum.
Asked how the candi-
dates would arrest the
perceived state of decline
in the city, much of the
focus was on bringing
businesses back to the
community and Ward 1.
“One thing we have
to talk is infrastructure
and beautification, things
that make us appealing to
businesses,” Lowery said.
“We have to find ways to
increase tax revenue, not
only by bringing in new
businesses but through
home ownership. We
don’t have that many peo-
ple who own their homes
in Ward 1. We need to
build that tax base, get
the revenue flowing and
then get to work on revi-
talization.”
All of the candidates
said they would work to
bring new businesses
into the community.
Holmes said that will
require a different ap-
proach than in the past,
however.
“Some things are out
of our control,” Holmes
said. “Things have
changed. Industries ar-

Finally healthy, Hill anchoring MSU offensive explosion

Matt Bush/USA Today Sports

Mississippi State Bulldogs running back Kylin Hill (8) runs the ball while defended by Southern Miss Golden Eagles defensive back D.Q. Thomas (12) during the first
quarter Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.

By Ben Portnoy
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — As Mississippi
State junior running back Kylin Hill
rolled around the turf, wincing in pain
during last week’s 38-15 win over South-
ern Mississippi, the crowd at Davis Wade
Stadium held fast with bated breath.
Just minutes earlier, starting quarter-
back Tommy Stevens was pulled from
the game with an injury. Now it was Hill
lying on the ground, audibly grimacing
as he grasped his right ankle.
After a short reprieve, he was helped
to his feet and into the locker room the
MSU training staff. A chorus of cowbells
rang out in appreciation of his service.
Hill was listed as questionable to
return at half time. He quickly quelled
those doubts as he took a handoff on the
first play of the third quarter five yards
to the MSU 25.
In all, Hill finished the day with 127
yards and a touchdown on 14 carries.
“It happens, it’s football — it’s a con-
tact sport,” he said postgame. “I went in
there, got it looked and I was fine and I
ran for more.”
Though injuries are always a linger-
ing concern, Hill’s importance to this
year’s Bulldog team through two games
cannot be overstated.
Entering this week’s contest against
Kansas State, MSU is 8-1 when Hill rush-
es for 50 or more yards in a game and a
perfect 5-0 when he eclipses 100 yards.
Conversely, the Bulldogs are 9-8 when the
Columbus native does neither.
Now two games into his junior year,
Hill has totaled 320 yards and two touch-
downs on 41 carries. His 320 yards this
season lead all Power Five conference
running backs and rank No. 2 nationally
while his 7.8 yards per carry sit No. 2 in
the SEC among players averaging 10 car-
ries or more per game.
“He is one of the best backs in the con-
ference, and one of the best backs in the
country,” coach Joe Moorhead said.
Schematically, Hill’s dynamism has
also aided in MSU’s improved passing
game. A big play threat each time he
touches the ball, both Louisiana and
Southern Miss stacked the box at times to
combat his home run-hitting ability.
With both teams selling out to contain
Hill, Stevens and freshman quarterback
Garrett Shrader were able to find clear
passing lanes to receivers Osirus Mitch-

Starkville Academy scores early, blanks Heritage Aca. schedule released
By Theo DeRosa By Garrick Hodge
tderosa@cdispatch.com ghodge@cdispatch.com

Starkville Academy soccer coach John Morgan
gathered his players around him right before Tues-
day’s match against Heritage Academy and made
one thing clear.
“You wanted to get a crowd,” Morgan said. “You
got one.”
Well before the match started, Patriots fans and
Volunteers fans alike filled a whole sideline at the
Columbus Soccer Complex for the rivalry match-
up, bringing chairs and pennants and cooking hot
dogs on the grill. They comprised an audience the
visiting Vols were happy to see, Morgan said — it
showed they’d earned the respect they wanted.
The Vols lived up to Morgan’s challenge, refus-
ing to let the packed house faze them. Instead, they
went on the offensive by outworking, outstripping
and outscoring the Patriots. Kaitlyn and Lauren
Bock each scored in the first half for Starkville
Academy (5-4, 4-1 district), and that was more than
enough in a 2-0 win in which the Patriots (5-4, 1-2)
never really threatened offensively.
“We knew we had to come out early and attack
them early to try and silence that crowd,” Morgan
said. “The girls did a good job of that. They an-
swered the call, the challenge we had set for us.”
Starkville Academy was nearly always the ag-
gressor Tuesday, spending a ton of time around
the Patriots’ goal, and it paid off twice in critical
moments.
In the sixth minute, Kaitlyn Bock cut back and
curled a shot from the right side into the lower
left corner of the goal to put the Vols on the score-
board first.

STARKVILLE — The Mississippi State men’s bas-
ketball team learned its 2019-2020 Southeastern Con-
ference schedule Tuesday afternoon.
MSU’s 18-game conference grind features at least
one matchup against the league’s other 13 teams. The
Bulldogs have home-and-home dates with five oppo-
nents, including in-state rival Ole Miss, Alabama, Ar-
kansas, Missouri and South Carolina.
MSU opens its SEC slate by hosting Final Four
participant Auburn Jan. 4, then goes on the road to
face Alabama (Jan. 8) and LSU (Jan. 11). The Bull-
dogs then have three straight home contests against
Missouri (Jan. 14), Georgia (Jan. 19) and Arkansas
(Jan. 22).
After taking a break from conference play to face
Oklahoma Jan. 25 in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, MSU
takes on Florida in Gainesville Jan. 28 then returns
home to clash with Tennessee on Feb. 1. A trip to Ken-
tucky’s acclaimed Rupp Arena awaits the Bulldogs
on Feb. 4, then MSU will host a Vanderbilt team that
went winless in SEC play last year on Feb. 11.
The first of two contests with rival Ole Miss is on
on Feb. 11 in Oxford, then MSU stays on the road by
facing the new-look Arkansas Razorbacks on Feb. 15.
After a brief stay in Starkville to play South Caroli-
na Feb. 19, the Bulldogs travel to College Station and
play Texas A&M Feb. 22.
MSU closes with two road contests against Mis-
souri (Feb. 29) and South Carolina (March 3) before
hosting Ole Miss on March 7 in the regular season
finale.
The Bulldogs are hoping for their second straight
NCAA tournament appearance after a 23-11 (10-8 SEC)
season a year ago.

EMCC drops a spot to sixth in
NJCAA football poll
East Mississippi Community College was ranked
sixth in Monday’s National Junior College Athletic
Association football poll.
It’s a drop of one spot for the Lions (1-1), but every
team ranked above EMCC is undefeated this season.
Hutchinson (Kansas), 3-0 on the year, held onto the
top spot and earned 11 first-place votes. Butler (Kansas)
got the remaining five first-place votes and moved up
from third place to tie Kilgore (Texas) for second.
A pair of Mississippi teams slot in just above
EMCC, as Northwest Mississippi (2-0) is fourth, and
Mississippi Gulf Coast (2-0) is fifth.
Rounding out the Mississippi teams in the poll,
Copiah-Lincoln (2-0) and Hinds (2-0) are 11th and 12th
in the rankings, and Jones (1-1) is 18th
The Lions will face unranked Itawamba Community
College at 7 p.m. Thursday in Scooba.
EMCC quarterback Connor
Neville named MACJC offensive
player of the week
East Mississippi Community College quarterback
Connor Neville was named the Mississippi Association
of Community & Junior Colleges’ offensive player of
the week on Tuesday for his performance against Pearl
River.
Neville, a transfer from Washington State, threw
four touchdown passes against just one interception in
Thursday’s game, a 49-15 win for the Lions.
Neville ranks fourth in the country with an average
of 316.5 passing yards per game, and his six touchdown
passes have him tied for eighth nationally.
With the distinction, Neville will be nominated for
National Junior College Athletic Association player of
the week honors.
Neville and the Lions host Itawamba Community
College at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Starkville falls to fifth in Class 6A in new Mississippi high school football poll
By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
Starkville High School
nearly fell out of the top
five in Class 6A when the
new Associated Press
Mississippi high school
football poll was released
Tuesday.
Thirteen Mississippi
media outlets, including
The Commercial Dispatch
and WCBI, were polled on
the top five teams in each
class and the top 10 over-
all.
The Yellow Jackets are
1-2 after Friday’s loss at
West Point, and they fin-
ished just one point ahead
of sixth-place Petal.
Starkville still cracked
the state overall top 10,

the goal.
But even though Tug-
gle was beaten twice,
Heritage Academy
coach Tom Velek said,
she’s not to blame for the
tallies.
“What I always re-
mind her is, ‘Every shot
on you means 10 other
people on the field didn’t
do their job,’” Velek said.
On the Vols’ second
goal, the Patriots’ de-
fense gave Lauren Bock
all the time she needed
to set up for the shot.
“There was no pres-
sure on her,” Velek said.
“When you give them
three, four, five, six, sev-
en seconds to tee up a
shot, it’s gonna probably
be a pretty good shot.”
Allowing uncontested
shots was perhaps not
even the biggest prob-
lem the Patriots faced
Tuesday. Their offensive
attack was nowhere to be
found — even Starkville
Academy’s players could
tell that.
“I don’t think they re-
ally came out prepared,”
said Lauren Bock.
She said she thought
the Patriots came out
looking to improve on

ell, Stephen Guidry, Austin
Williams and Isaiah Zuber.
“Collectively as an
offense we’ve been able
to do some really good
things and obviously hav-
ing Kylin back there real-
ly helps,” Stevens said.
Moorhead furthered
Stevens’ notion.
“The better you run
the ball, the more if forces
people to support the run
by either numbers or pres-
sure and when you do that
you are able to create some
one-on-one match-ups on
the back-end,” he said Mon-
day. “That allows you to get
some balls thrown and cre-
ate some explosive plays. I
think that is what you are
seeing.”
Physically, it’s Hill’s ath-
leticism that makes him so
dangerous as a runner. At
5-foot-11 and 215 pounds,
he’s slight in stature but
massively muscular. Moor-
head characterizes him as
a big-back in a small-back’s
body.
His athleticism was on
full display this past Satur-
day as he twice leapt over
USM defenders and seem-
ingly deflected off a new
Golden Eagle with each en-
suing carry.
Senior center Darryl
Williams quipped Hill had
insinuated he might have
to change his number to
No. 23 as an ode to Michael
Jordan and his famed hops.
“Maybe fake low and
go high,” Moorhead said
of how he’d tackle Hill. “I
don’t know, but I would

ished seventh in the over-
all poll.
Madison Central (3-0)
was ranked first in Class
6A and first overall in the
state, earning all 13 first-
place votes in both polls.
The Jaguars will host sec-
ond-place Pearl (3-0) on
Friday.
In other polls
West Point (2-1) re-
mained second behind La-
fayette (3-0) in the Class
5A rankings despite the
win over Starkville. Lafay-
ette received 10 first-place
votes and 126 points; West
Point got the other three
first-place votes and 117
points. Picayune (3-0) was
third in Class 5A with 105
points, West Jones was
a 1-0 loss to the Volun-
teers in Starkville on
Aug. 22.
Meanwhile, the Vols
were able to improve
from a sloppy game of
their own, an 1-0 loss to
Washington on Thurs-
day.
“We were more fo-
cused this game than
we were last game,”
Kaitlyn Bock said. “We
were more mentally pre-
pared.”
Whatever mental
preparation the Vol-
unteers had definitely
showed itself on the field:
The Vols simply looked
much faster, running cir-
cles around the Patriots
all match long.
For Morgan, that goes
back to the training pro-
gram the Vols started in
early June.
“We ran ’em and ran
’em and ran ’em and
ran ’em,” Morgan said.
“They had to understand
that not only do we want
to dominate them by the
way we play but even by
the way we work.”
Dominate, the Volun-
teers did. They rarely
let any balls through in
the middle of the field,
not recommend that either
because the problem with
going high is that he is built
like a tank. If you decide
to tackle him above the
waist, there is a pretty good
chance you are going to get
trucked.”
MSU running backs
coach Terry Richardson
said Hill could see as many
as 230-250 carries this sea-
son. Hill is currently on
target for more than 260

said his team was far too
content to stay.
“A good defense will
let you have the entire
edge,” Velek said. “Fine,

don’t want you in the cen-

Whenever the Patriots
did get to the center and

Archer quickly snatched
it up and fired it back

to begin anew.
It was the final piece
of the complete team ef-
fort from the Vols that
led them to the domi-
nant road win in a critical
district contest Morgan
called “the one that real-
ly matters.”
It was a win that mer-
ited the respect the Vols
wanted in front of a big
crowd.

But having already
torched Kansas State in
last year’s meeting for 211
yards and three total touch-
downs, Hill maintains con-
fidence ahead of MSU’s
first game against a Pow-
er Five opponent this sea-
son.
“Everyone is feeling
really confident,” he said.
“Offensively we’ve all got
that swagger.”

jail time and was on probation
for a short while after. After
he went to court, I stopped all
contact with him.
He has tried a few times
in recent years to have a
relationship with me. He even
went as far as contacting me
when I was about to turn 15,
demanding that I spend time
with him. We went to court
again, and I was granted a
permanent restraining order
against him.
Now for my question: He
is very ill. I still want nothing
to do with him, for obvious
reasons. I have an older broth-
er who sees him and takes
responsibility for his needs.
Am I obligated to help with my
father’s needs, and should I
have to pay for, plan and/or
attend his funeral when the
time comes? — OUT OF THE

DEAR OUT: No! You are not
legally or morally obligated to
pay for your molester’s care,
and you do not have to attend
his funeral unless you are
doing it to get closure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Humility is a trait that carries a
person far. The humble avoid
dozens of mistakes that can
only be made by the ambitious.
Also, humility allows for seeing
and naming the mistakes before
others even know that’s what
they are.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Get focused and then start at
the very beginning, which is, as
one Rodgers and Hammerstein
song suggests, “a very good
place to start.” Know the essen-
tials of the situation and you’ll
know the next right move.

mood ever happens to just one

hurt and joy resonates with joy.
These are tones that get played

be made aware of the attention

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). If you hide your heart, you
might forget where it is, and
then where would you be? If you
deny your heart, then you might
minimize its voice. And no one
benefits from a mute heart. The
best thing to do with a heart is
to listen to it.

It should be you in the top

OK, but you’ll need to go to the

flair to game

FAMILY FEATURES

F
ootball season, for many
people, is just as much about
the food as it is about the
action. No matter who’s playing
and whether you’re at a tailgate or
living room watch party, one thing
is for sure: football and flavor go
hand-in-hand.
When you’re huddling up to
figure out how to score a touch-
down with your game day spread,
consider taking your snacks to the
next level by adding an authentic
Mexican flair. Opt for traditional
Mexican ingredients like chorizo,
queso fresco or cotija in meals and
snacks that are already football
mainstays, including nachos, tacos
and quesadillas, and consider all
the possibilities that incorporating
these flavorful ingredients can add
to other classic dishes like sliders
and potato skins.

Recipes are divid-
ed into sections: hors
d’oeuvres, side dishes
and vegetables, main
dishes and casseroles,
desserts. Many of the
names conjure up happy
images of church suppers
in my youth, like corn
pudding, cranberry chick-
en salad, frito pie bake,
chicken and rice comfort
casserole, buttermilk pie,
hummingbird cake and
shoo fly pie.
Tidbits of advice from
the Ritchie family’s own
church cookbook are
scattered throughout: “If
you break an egg on the
floor, sprinkle it heavily
with salt and leave it
alone for 5 to 10 minutes.
Sweep the dried egg into
the dustpan.” Or, “For
improved texture and
flavor when using canned
shrimp, soak shrimp for
one hour in ice water,
then drain.”
With color photos for
each recipe, this 224-page
cookbook is a reminder of
what comfort food — and
sharing it — is all about.
The book is available
wherever books are
sold, including indepen-
dent sellers, Amazon or
Barnes and Noble.

Consider these twists
you can add to your fa-
vorite game time snacks:
n Loaded avoca-
dos: Give avocados the
potato skin treatment
by loading them up with
delicious toppings like
chorizo, queso fresco
and crema; just don’t eat
the skin.
n Cheese fries:
Drizzle queso dip over
French fries or top with
crumbles of flavorful Ca-
cique Chorizo and Cotija
in a recipe like these
Baked Sweet Potato
Fries with Chorizo and
Cotija.
n Robust sliders: Skip
regular beef patties and
spoon the rich seasoning
and punch of flavor that
chorizo brings to your
favorite slider rolls then
top with your favorite
cheese and salsa.
n Mac and cheese:
For a new take on mac
and cheese, toss cooked
macaroni noodles with
your favorite Cacique
Queso Dip and top with
crushed tortilla chips in
a recipe like this South-

at the top of the berry
near the stem and leaves.
A ripe strawberry is fully
red; green or white near
the top means the fruit is
underripe.
n Watermelon: The
“field spot,” or the area
where the melon sat on
the ground, should be
yellow, and a tap on the
rind should produce a
hollow sound.
n Cherries: Flesh
should appear dark with
a crimson color and feel
firm.
n Blueberries: Similar
to cherries, color should
deepen to dark blue. A
reddish or pink color
may be visible in unripe
berries.
n Blackberries: Look
for a smooth texture with-
out any red appearance.
Because blackberries
don’t ripen after being
picked, they tend to spoil
quickly.
n Cantaloupe: You
should detect a sweet
smell, and the melon
should feel heavy upon
lifting.
n Peaches: A sweet,
fragrant odor should be
apparent. Skin should
feel tender but not soft.
n Pineapple: Smell is
again an important factor
for pineapple — a sweet
scent shows it’s ready,
but a vinegary one likely
means it’s overripe.
n Raspberries: Gener-
ally follow the same rules
as blackberries. Best
eaten within a couple
days of purchase, a bright
red color represents ripe
berries.
n Bananas: A ripe
banana features a peel
lightly spotted without
significant bruising.
Your best bet may be to
purchase bananas still
slightly green and allow
them to ripen at home.
