Thomas Ware sits in front of the Oktibbeha County Chancery Courthouse on Sunday, where the previous day
he had attended Starkville’s Veterans Day Parade. Ware was a petty officer second class when he retired from
the U.S. Navy in 2001. His maintenance work on a ship in South Carolina translates to his current job at the
Starkville Wastewater Plant, he said.

Measurement is key in working
with spices, as he did at Bryan

on the U.S.S. Sierra and currently

“One constant for me was pride

“You want to do the job right and

Ware is a Starkville native from
a military family, though he is the
only one of his relatives to have
served in the Navy, and he retired
as a petty officer second class, he
said. He spent three years on active
duty and 18 and a half on active
reserve. He enlisted in 1979 when
he was still in high school and went
off to boot camp in Orlando, Flori-

Veterans Day Today in history

Today is Monday, Nov. 11, the 315th day of 2019.
There are 50 days left in the year. Today is Veterans
Day.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On Nov. 11, 1972, the U.S. Army turned
over its base at Long Binh to the South Vietnam-
ese, symbolizing the end of direct U.S. military
involvement in the Vietnam War.

On this date:
In 1620, 41 Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower,
anchored off Massachusetts, signed a compact
calling for a “body politick.”
In 1831, former slave Nat Turner, who’d led
a violent insurrection, was executed in Jerusalem,
Virginia.
In 1918, fighting in World War I ended as the
Allies and Germany signed an armistice in the
Forest of Compiegne (kohm-PYEHN’-yeh).
In 1921, the remains of an unidentified Amer-
ican service member were interred in a Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cem-
etery in a ceremony presided over by President
Warren G. Harding.
In 1929, the Ambassador Bridge spanning
the Detroit River between Michigan and Windsor,
Ontario, Canada, was dedicated.
In 1942, during World War II, Germany com-
pleted its occupation of France.

Still teaching at 95, Jimmy Carter draws devotees to church

The Associated Press
PLAINS, Ga.
— The pilgrims
arrive early and
from all over,
gathering hours
before daybreak
in an old pecan
grove that sur-
Carter
rounds a coun-
try church. They
come, they say, for a dose of
simple decency and devotion
wrapped up in a Bible lesson.
The teacher is the 39th
president of the United States,
Jimmy Carter.
Nearly four decades af-
ter he left office and despite
a body that’s failing after 95
years, the nation’s oldest-ev-
er ex-president still teaches
Sunday school roughly twice
a month at Maranatha Baptist
Church in his tiny hometown
of Plains in southwest Geor-
gia. His message is unfailingly
about Jesus, not himself.
The church has only 30 or
so members, but as many as
450 people attend any week
Carter teaches. About 200
people fill the sanctuary, with
pale-green walls and stained
glass windows, and others
gather in side rooms where the
lesson is shown on TVs.
It’s nearly impossible to
separate even an ex-president
from politics, and some come
because they’re Democrats
who recall voting for Carter
when he was elected in 1976.
Almost uniformly, they’re dis-
mayed by the tone of President
Donald Trump and his Repub-
lican administration.
But Trump has only been
in office since 2017 and Car-
ter has been drawing crowds
for years. Those who attended
Carter’s most recent lesson on
Nov. 3 said they just wanted to
be in the presence of someone
who seems kind, humble and
godly despite having been a
world leader.
“He’s a role model and an
inspiration for both of us both
in public service and in faith,”
said visitor Doug Kluth. He
and his wife Ramona drove
2,400 miles (3,862 kilometers)
round trip from their home in
Columbus, Nebraska, to see
Carter in person.
John and Sarah Dyer
packed their four daughters,
ages 2 through 12, into their
Honda Pilot for the 1,700-mile
(2,736-kilometer) round trip to
Plains from suburban Chicago.
“To see a man who was once
on top of the world choose to
spend his twilight years lifting
the world higher was inspira-
tional to my family and I,” John
Dyer wrote to the church’s pas-
tor in a letter shared with The
Associated Press.
Carter faced mockery for
his Southern Baptist faith in
1976 when he said in a Play-
boy magazine interview that
he was guilty of adultery in his
heart because he lusted after
women. The soul-baring sen-
timent paralleled Jesus’ words
in the Sermon on the Mount,
but it came across as odd and
narrow-minded to many.
These days, with a twice-di-
vorced president who curses
in public and once said he’d
never asked God for forgive-
ness, Carter’s approach to life
— with his wife of 73 years,
Rosalynn, by his side — seems
especially appealing to fans.
They say they admire Car-
ter’s work to eradicate dis-
ease and monitor elections
worldwide; the time he has
spent helping build homes as
a volunteer with Habitat for
Humanity; and his advocacy
for food programs and rural
health care in his home coun-
ty. Many were touched by pho-
tos of a bruised-but-smiling
Carter performing volunteer
work after he fell and hit his
head in October.
So they flock to Plains any
week Maranatha Baptist posts
on its website or Facebook
page that Carter plans to teach.
Fray and Susan Carter of
Russellville, Alabama, slept
overnight in their car in the
church parking lot to get a
front-row view as Carter taught
on his first Sunday back after
falling and breaking his pelvis
in October.
As recently as last year
Carter would stand during his
45-minute lesson, but he now
uses an electric lift chair at the
front of the sanctuary as a con-
cession to age. He breaks into
that familiar smile when he
raises the seat so he can see
the crowd over a wooden lec-
tern. A cross made by Carter, a
longtime woodworker, adorns
the choir loft. He also made the
wooden offering plates, which
bear his initials on the bottom.
Carter’s lesson this day was
on his belief in life after death.
He ended the same way he
always does, by challenging
class members to do one nice
thing for somebody over the
next month.
“That’s what I think would
make America a better coun-
try. It would make you a better
person, right? And a better
Christian,” Carter said. “Well,
that’s the essence of my Sun-
day school lesson. Not any-
thing fancy to it. Just some per-
sonal things to think about.”
Visitors that day includ-
ed people from multiple U.S.
states plus Venezuela and Ec-
uador. Rarely a week goes by
without someone from over-
seas in the crowd, said the Rev.
Tony Lowden, Carter’s pastor.
The church was formed in
1977 from a split when anoth-
er church refused to accept
blacks as members. Lowden
was hired in March as Marana-
tha’s first black pastor. On any
given Sunday, Lowden said,
the congregation is a “mix of
everything.”
“It’s a melting pot of people
who are looking for faith and
looking for something that
they can believe in,” Lowden
said. After a cancer diagno-
sis in 2015 and three falls this
year, it’s unclear how much
longer Carter can continue to
teach, but Lowden said he’s
welcome as long as he’s able.
The crowd on the first Sun-
day in November included
Chet Mulholland, an evangeli-
cal Christian from Wisconsin,
and Joey and Sabrina Fretwell,
faithful churchgoers from con-
servative Mississippi in the
heart of the Deep South. The
couple’s daughter attended a
Trump rally in Tupelo, Missis-
sippi, just two days before they
drove to Plains to see Carter.
Sabrina Fretwell, 46,
doesn’t really remember Car-
ter’s presidency, but she re-
calls hours spent listening to
her grandparents talk about
Carter when she was a girl.
That’s one reason she wanted
to see the former president,
she said, to somehow honor
that time.

Bank robbery charges dismissed
against man jailed for months
GREENWOOD — Bank rob-
bery charges have been dis-
missed against a Mississippi man
who was jailed for months without
any noticeable progress in the
case.
The Greenwood Common-
wealth reports 29-year-old Bran-
don Lancaster was released from
custody this month after a judge
determined the FBI had failed to
push the case. Defense attorney
Wallie Stuckey had argued that
the long incarceration without
any prosecutor action violated
Lancaster’s right to a speedy trial.
He says the FBI could still seek
an indictment against his client.
Upon his release from the
Leflore County Jail, Lancaster
says he walked straight over to
the newspaper to tell his story.
Lancaster still is charged in an-
other burglary and was released
on bond. He says he was wrong-
ly identified as a suspect in both
crimes.
Mississippi woman sues over
unsecured manhole cover crash
JACKSON — A Mississippi wom-
an who says she hit an unsecured
manhole cover hours before a teen-
ager was killed in a similar crash has
filed a lawsuit.
The Clarion Ledger reported
Friday that Jean Holmes is suing
the city of Jackson and an asphalt
company for gross negligence. She
told the newspaper she is certain a
manhole she hit in May 2018 was in
the same location where 18-year-old
Frances Fortner was killed hours lat-
er. Holmes said two of her car’s tires
were punctured during her crash
earlier that day.
Jackson’s mayor said after Fort-
ner’s death that the city failed to se-
cure the site.
Fortner’s parents sued the city
and others in November 2018. The
lawsuit is pending.
A spokeswoman said the city
can’t comment on the pending liti-
gation.
Mississippi monument restored
at Civil War battle site
VICKSBURG — A Mississippi
monument is being rededicated in a
national park on a Civil War battle-
field.
A ceremony is taking place Mon-
day in the Vicksburg National Mili-
tary Park.
The Vicksburg Post reports the
Mississippi monument underwent
a $75,000 restoration funded by
the state and promoted by a group
called Friends of Vicksburg Nation-
al Military Park and Campaign.
Work included masonry repairs,
testing of the monument’s lightning
suppression system and thorough
cleaning. It was done by the Nation-

Hood and Hughes both
embraced some progres-
sive positions, advocating
Medicaid expansion and
higher spending on pub-
lic education. But they
also both expressed con-
servative positions, say-
ing they oppose abortion.
Hood and Hughes both
fit the description of what
some Democrats have
touted for years as a win-
ning protype for a state-
wide candidate: They’re
white men with previous
experience in public of-
fice, and they are not easi-
ly pinned down on the left
of the political spectrum.
Some Democrats,
though, say the party
needs to rethink its strat-
egy and actively recruit
and promote a slate of
top-of-ticket candidates
who are more racially di-
verse and more likely to
campaign as unabashed
progressives or liberals.
D’Andra Orey, a polit-
ical science professor at
Jackson State University,
said he wonders if Demo-
cratic candidates should

especially African Amer-
ican women.
Hood’s TV ads showed
him with his pickup truck,

“When you do that,
you alienate your base,”
Orey said.
Both President Donald
Trump and Vice President
Mike Pence trekked to
Mississippi in the closing
days of the campaign to
promote Reeves and oth-
er Republicans. During
a Trump rally in Tupelo,
Reeves drew cheers from
spectators when he said
of Hood: “He and the na-
tional liberals are not only
disrespecting our presi-
dent; they are disrespect-
ing us.”
For some voters,
Reeves’ tactic of framing
the state election in a na-
tional context was effec-
tive.
Brandon resident To-
nya Thompson, 58, said
she voted for Reeves,
even though she said of
Hood: “He’s done a lot of
good for the state.” Ulti-
mately, Thompson said
she went with Reeves be-
cause “I just think keep-

Letter to the editor
Voice of the people
Challenges readers to name the
democratic candidate they support
I want to say thanks to everybody
involved in the Veterans parade and
ceremony at our court house front
lawn on Saturday. Thank the Lord for
a perfect setting and weather. The Air
Force fly-over was very impressive and
the release of the doves was perfect
timing as well. They gave us a wonder-
ful air show to cherish for a long time.
I was really amazed at how the birds
made a couple of circles in a flight for-
mation in the air space directly above
our Court House. Made me swell with
pride for our County and Country.
Thank the Lord for a our Commander
in Chief, President Trump, who loves
our Military and our Veterans and our
Country very much. He’s promised to
never let us down and we as Veterans
of Foreign Wars and those who are
presently serving on active duty as
well will never let him down either. It’s
a “must” to reelect President Trump
next year in order to keep our Military
the greatest it’s ever been and grow-
ing even greater.
It’s really a shame and disgrace
how the Bill Parkers and Paul Macks
of our country keep on trying to
defame the character of our candi-
date for president in 2020, President
Donald J. Trump. It’s also pretty sad
at the same time to see grown men
doing this. It’s pretty obvious that
they are not veterans of foreign wars.
If they were they would be praising
our President for his patriotism and
unparalleled accomplishments as our
Commander in Chief and President.
This increase in his supporters will
possibly include over 20 percent of
all minority voters. Just wait and see.
Lastly, I would respect them much
more if they had the nerve to stand up
for THEIR favorite candidates in the
Democrat line up.
I challenge Mr. Parker and Mr.
Mack to tell us the name of the Demo-
crat they are supporting for president
and the reasons why.

IMPEACHMENT
Where are the ‘high crimes’?
“Treason, Bribery, or
other high Crimes and Mis-
demeanors.”
These are the offenses
designated in the Consti-
tution for which presidents
may be impeached and
removed from office.
Which of these did
Trump commit?
According to his accus-
ers in this city, his crime is
as follows: Patrick Buchanan
The president imperiled
our “national security” by delaying, for
his own reasons, a transfer of lethal aid
and Javelin missiles to Ukraine — the
very weapons President Barack Obama the most corrupt company in Ukraine,
refused to send to Ukraine, lest they
widen and lengthen the war in the
Donbass.
Now, if Trump imperiled national
security by delaying the transfer of
the weapons, was not Obama guilty of
a greater crime against our national
security by denying the weapons to
Ukraine altogether?
The essence of Trump’s crime, it
is said, was that he demanded a quid
pro quo. He passed word to incoming
President Volodymyr Zelensky that if
he did not hold a press conference to
announce an investigation of Joe Biden
and son Hunter, he, Zelensky, would
not get the arms we had promised, nor
the Oval Office meeting that Zelensky
requested.
Again, where is the body of the
crime?
State of the nation
Democrats preside over stronger economies
Are you worried that the
economy grew by only 1.9%
in the recent quarter? That’s
a pretty weak performance.
But it would seem down-
right dismal if you believed
Donald Trump’s assertion
during the 2016 campaign
that 1.9% growth during one
of Barack Obama’s quarters
signaled an economy “in
deep trouble.”
Economists are now
forecasting 1.8% gross
domestic product growth
in the fourth quarter. Things are most
definitely slowing down.
Clearly, Trump will not whip the
economy into the 4% annual growth
he bragged about during the cam-
paign. Never mind 6%. And despite the
economy’s so-so October performance,
Trump ended the month tweeting, “The ascend to the Oval Office? One plau-
Greatest Economy in American Histo-
ry!” But we’re used to that.
Trump-believers might also swallow
the baloney that Democrats are all
socialists eager to smite capitalism.
Real capitalists closely monitoring their over an economy. There are lots of
stock portfolios would disagree.
If you’re a real capitalist, chances
are good that you miss Obama. During
Obama’s eight years, the S&P 500 rose
almost 176%.
Researchers at the University of
Chicago’s business school concluded
that historically, stock investments do
better under Democratic presidents
than Republican presidents — a lot
better.
From 1927 to 2015, the average ex-
cess return on stocks was 10.7% a year
Did Zelensky hold the
press conference Trump
demanded? No.
Did Zelensky announce
Ukraine was investigating
the Bidens? No.
Did Zelensky get the
Oval Office meeting? Yes.
Did Zelensky get the U.S.
weapons? Yes, $400 million

Where then is the crime?
When was it consummated?
Or was this a thought
crime, a bluff to get Zelensky to
look into how Hunter Biden got a
$50,000-a-month seat on the board of
days after Joe Biden was in Kyiv threat-
ening to block a $1 billion loan guaran-
tee to the regime.
By the way, what was Biden doing
approving a $1 billion loan guarantee to
Petro Poroshenko’s regime, which was
so corrupt that it ferociously fought not
to fire a prosecutor whose dismissal all
of Europe was demanding?
Should Biden be nominated and
elected, a special prosecutor would
have to be appointed to investigate this
smelly deal, as well as the $1 billion
Hunter got for his equity fund from
the Chinese after his father visited the
Middle Kingdom.
Given last week’s party-line vote in
the House, where all but two Demo-
crats voted to proceed with the inquiry,
the impeachment of President Donald
Trump seems baked in the cake. Speak-

with minus 0.2% under
Republicans, according to
Lubos Pastor and Pietro
Veronesi. (Excess returns
are a metric that helps
investors compare stocks’
performance with those
achieved by other kinds of
investments.)
“The return gap is not
explained by what pres-
Froma Harrop idents do,” Pastor and
Veronesi wrote, “but rather
by when they get elected.”
Democrats tend to get elected when
expected future returns are high. Re-
publicans win when expected returns
are low.
But the question naturally follows:
Why are expectations for strong stock
performance higher when Democrats
sible reason is that their Republican
predecessors often leave behind a
screwed-up economy with stock prices
already depressed.
Presidents don’t have total control
influences — new technology, energy
prices, demographic changes — that
can boost or drag economic perfor-
mance.
But history suggests that economic
governance goes south when a Republi-
can president has a Republican Con-
gress backing his bad ideas. Start with
1930, when Republican Herbert Hoover
made a troubled economy worse by
launching a trade war. Democrat
Franklin D. Roosevelt had to pick up
the pieces.
er Nancy Pelosi’s designation of Adam
Schiff to head the investigation tells us
all we need to know about the sincer-
ity of her pledge to make the inquiry
bipartisan.
Suppose Zelensky had agreed to an
investigation into how Hunter Biden,
with no experience in the energy indus-
try, got his sweetheart deal.
Would that be impeachable for
Trump? How so?
Does not the U.S. have a right to put
conditions on its foreign aid and to seek
guarantees that our money will not be
used as graft to grifters?
A few of those listening in on
Trump’s phone call with Zelensky have
gone public asserting that withholding
the arms transfer to Kyiv imperiled our
national security.
But if east Ukraine rises up and se-
cedes from Kyiv, as Kyiv itself seceded
from the Russian Federation at the end
of the Cold War, how does any of that
endanger America’s national security?
Did not George H.W. Bush himself
warn, three decades ago, that a declara-
tion of independence by Ukraine from
the Russian Federation would consti-
tute an act of “suicidal nationalism”?
And who does the Constitution
charge with making the decisions as to
whether military aid goes to Ukraine?

Another example is 2008, a time
of near financial collapse. George W.
Bush’s administration had encouraged
speculation in house prices, let Wall
Street run wild and supercharged
deficits thanks to large tax cuts and
little control on spending. (Bill Clinton
had left him a booming economy with
budget surpluses.) Barack Obama
inherited Bush’s mess.
It would be unfair to compare invest-
ment performance early in Obama’s
presidency, when stocks had nowhere
to go but up, to that of Trump. So let’s
compare the first 33 months of Trump
with the last 33 months of Obama.
Under Trump, so far, the S&P
500 has risen just over 33%. During
Obama’s last 33 months, it jumped
almost 48%.
Republicans argue that a Republi-
can-controlled Congress curbed Pres-
ident Clinton’s ability to spend. There
may be some truth to that. But George
W. Bush had Republican majorities in
both houses of Congress — for half his
presidency — when all fiscal discipline
flew out the window.
The same can be said for the first
two years of Trump’s presidency. We’re
now running annual deficits of around
$1 trillion a year. And Trump’s trade
war adds further drag.
The economy may not currently be
“in deep trouble,” but what can you say
to those who still believe in Trump’s
magical powers to make everyone rich?
You’re on your own.

secessionists in Donetsk and Luhansk,
there has been a debate in the USA
over how to deal with this faraway
problem.
Obama decided not to send lethal
aid or tank-killing Javelin missiles, lest
the U.S. arms escalate a war between
Russia and Ukraine that Kyiv could not
win.
The Republicans argued the issue
at their Cleveland convention. Trump’s
team won that argument, but lethal aid
and Javelin missiles were eventually
sent to Kyiv. Now Trump has sent even
more weapons.
But again, the authority to make this
decision resides in the Oval Office, not
in the NSC, not in the CIA, and not with
those in the “deep state” who have their
own settled view of what U.S. foreign
policy should be.
The authority lies with the elected
president of the United States.
This impeachment battle will almost
surely reach the Senate.
And in the end it will be about what
it has been about since the beginning:
An attempt by the deep state and its
media, bureaucratic and political allies
to overturn the democratic verdict of
2016 and to overthrow the elected pres-
ident of the United States.
The establishment’s coup attempt is
now approaching end game.

Hong Kong police shoot protester,
man set on fire
HONG KONG — Hong Kong’s leader
pledged on Monday to “spare no effort”
in bringing an end to anti-government
protests that have wracked the city for
more than five months, following a day
of violence in which one person was shot
and another set on fire.
Carrie Lam’s comments are likely to
fuel speculation that harsher legal and
police measures may be in the works to
curb the protests.
“I do not want to go into details, but
I just want to make it very clear that we
will spare no effort in finding ways and
means that could end the violence in
Hong Kong as soon as possible,” Lam
told reporters.
Lam also refused to accept the pro-
testers’ demands for political conces-
sions.
“If there is still any wishful thinking
that, by escalating violence, the Hong
Kong SAR government will yield to pres-
sure to satisfy the so-called political de-
mands, I am making this statement clear
SERVIcES
lEGalS
and loud here: That will not happen,”
Lam said, using the initials for Special
Administrative Region, which describes
the city’s status as a semi-autonomous
Chinese territory.
Monday’s violence is likely to further
inflame passions in Hong Kong after a
student who fell during an earlier protest
succumbed to his injuries on Friday and
police arrested six pro-democracy law-
ads.cdispatch.com
makers over the weekend on charges of
obstructing the local assembly during a
raucous May 11 meeting. All were freed

on bail.
China’s ruling Communist Party has
also indicated it may try to find a way to
enact anti-subversion laws in the terri-
tory, after such measures were shelved
previously due to public opposition.
While Beijing has dismissed reports
it may replace Lam next year, the party
last week issued a statement saying it
would “perfect” the system to appoint
and dismiss Hong Kong’s leader and top
officials.

Each guest joined the mil-
itary for a different reason
and each had a different
specialty — Strickland is
a student pilot, Venth over-
sees health care of those
stationed at the base and
Freeman described herself
as “the mom” of the base
for her role advising wing
commander Col. Saman-
tha Weeks on personnel
matters.
The questions students
submitted dealt with topics
from deployment and
combat to basic training,
but NHMS Principal Sam
Allison said he thought
Venth’s story about 9-11, in
particular, struck a chord
with the students, who
hadn’t been born when the
attacks occurred.
“They know about it,
but I think her emotions
probably showed them
that (the military is) much
more than a job,” he said.
“It’s a way of life. ... I think
they appreciated, one, that
she went through that; and
two, that she was willing to
share that with them.”
‘A giant team’
Both Venth and Free-
man have been deployed to
Afghanistan, where Venth
worked at a prison of 500
inmates. Venth has also
been stationed in multiple
states, including Alaska,
and England. Freeman has
been on seven different
deployments, including
nine months in Niger,
where she was in charge
of 176 Navy and Air Force
personnel building a
runway.
“We were out there
sleeping in tents,” Free-
man said. “We had MREs,
which are Meals-Ready-
to-Eat, so basically it’s like
packaged meals. I will say
that is one of my favorite
deployments besides
Afghanistan, because I
actually got to be part of
the mission.”
Venth also talked about
a humanitarian aid mission
she took to remote villages
with limited access to
health care when she was
stationed in Alaska.
“I got a chance to fly
on a Black Hawk heli-
copter and go above the
Arctic Circle,” she said.
“... I hit three different
villages along the way. I
got a chance to figure out
remote emergency care
because we had a kiddo
get injured on a snowmo-
bile and fracture a femur.”
Strickland, who was
stationed at CAFB straight
out of college and has nev-
er been deployed, talked
more about her participa-
tion in the Department of
Defense-wide Alpha War-
rior competition, which
she won earlier this year,
and her experience flying.
“If I (fly fighter jets),
you could be doing things
(like) surveillance, which
is kind of like you’re a se-
cret spy in the sky and you
get to find where all the
bad guys are,” she said.
“Or you could be some-
thing like cargo where
you’re carrying people or
machinery or weapons
systems from A to B. It’s
a very dynamic career
field and there are always
opportunities to cross train
to do something else.”
Strickland said being
in the military is “unlike
anything else.”
“You’re part of this
giant team and you’re all
working toward the same
mission, so you have
something in common
with everyone wearing the
same uniform you are,”
she said. “It’s really neat.
You make some of the best
friends you will ever have
in the world, ... and you do
a really cool job together.”
Women in the Air Force
Though each offi-
cer said she loved her
military career and the
opportunities it afforded
her, they agreed they
occasionally dealt with
sexism in the military.
For Venth, that meant
learning a male officer
tried to keep her from
being assigned to work
in the Afghan prison,
his reasoning being that
Afghanistan’s culture is
less accepting of women
in certain roles and that
she would be in danger
there.
For Freeman, that
means having to be
“stricter than she would
like to be” with some of
the enlisted and low-
er-ranking male officers.
She used her deployment
in Niger as an example.
“When I said I super-
vised 176 people, it was
176 men,” she said. “Me
being this little yea-
high female, sometimes
you’ve got to be a little bit
stronger than you need to
be and kind of lay down
the law. I might be 4-11
and I ain’t going to say
my weight, but when it
comes to me saying you’ll
do a thing, you’ll do a
thing.
“By the end of that
deployment working with
those guys, they were
calling me ‘Mom,’” she
added.
Strickland said there’s
an idea that women in
the military either let the
men “step all over them”
or get a reputation for
being bossy and arro-
gant. She’s done her best
to do neither and said the
men she serves with have
been extremely inclusive.
“For all the females
out there, don’t ever let
anyone step on you,”
she said. “Don’t ever let
anyone make you feel
like you are not equal,
because we are. We’re
an equal force, we are
in every force and we’re
a force to be reckoned
with.”

Lee-McNelis has proved a

“I can remember years

I’m proud of the way that we’ve

Ryan’s first touchdown went
for 8 yards to tight end Austin
Hooper in the second quarter
and his second to running back
Brian Hill in the fourth quarter
to put Atlanta (2-7) in front 20-9.
That was more than enough
with the Falcons’ defense frus-
trating first-place New Orleans

“For them to hold a really
good New Orleans offense to
just three field goals is impres-
sive,” Ryan said. “A good team

Racing team made an unusual
call to take just two tires — the
same strategy as contender
Ryan Blaney — and the two
lined up next to each other for
the restart with three laps to
go.
Hamlin finally got a decent
restart, pulled into the lead,
and Gibbs teammate Kyle Bus-
ch passed Blaney to put a buf-
fer between the two.
Hamlin then cruised to his
sixth win of the season and
punched the air with his fist in
his car as he crossed the finish
line. He jumped into the arms
of his waiting crew, which he
had promised earlier Sunday
to give his all in an effort to
make the championship field at
Homestead-Miami Speedway.
“This race team worked so
hard this whole year. They de-
serve to be there,” Hamlin said

we don’t need to take that for
granted,” he continued.
Though the top-tier stability
Schaefer has brought to MSU
is impressive, it’s the rabid fan
base he has accumulated over
the years in a state that lacks a
history of interest in basketball
that stands above all.

assistant coach was born and
effort across the board and cer-
tainly one we needed.”
Defensive end Vic Beasley
Jr. had 1 ½ sacks. Fellow end
Adrian Clayborn and lineback-
er De’Vondre Campbell each
had one.
The Saints had not been held
without a touchdown at home
with Brees running the offense
since the record-setting QB
joined New Orleans in 2006.
But it was the second time this
season the Saints had not found
the end zone at home — the
first a 12-10 victory over Dallas
with backup Teddy Bridgewa-
of his No. 11 crew. “I put them
in a bad hole last week. I told
them today in the meeting, I
said, ‘I’m going to give every-
thing I’ve got to make up for
the mistake I made last week.’
That’s all I got.”
Hamlin will race Gibbs
teammates Busch and Martin
Truex Jr., as well as Kevin Har-
vick of Stewart-Haas Racing,
for the championship. Gibbs,
winner of 18 races this season,
and Toyota have three of the
slots in the final four.
“I feel like we are all here
because we worked together,”
said Truex.
Chevrolet will not be repre-
sented for the third consecu-
tive season and Harvick races
a Ford. Hamlin’s win sealed the
manufacturer championship
for Toyota.
Truex won the 2018 title,
bred in a state and a region
that prides itself on football
success. Mississippi is no dif-
ferent.

“They played better than us,”
Payton said. “This league is too
good week-to-week where you
can go in and not be focused
and ready.”
Staff shuffle
Atlanta’s defensive domi-
nance came in the first game
since coach Dan Quinn re-as-
signed assistant coach Raheem
Morris from receivers to the
secondary.
Quinn was struck by how
Busch won in 2015 and Har-
vick in 2014. All three raced for
the championship last season
against Logano, who won the fi-
nale to snag the title away from
the three drivers who dominat-
ed the season. This year the fi-
nal four is equally deserving of
their spots in the finale — the
champion has had to win the
race at Homestead to claim the
title every year since the elimi-
nation format debuted in 2014.
Hamlin has never won a
championship, but had chanc-
es in 2010 and 2014 but had dis-
appointing races — a decision
not to take tires after a late
caution took Hamlin from the
lead to out of contention in the
2014 race.
“Denny has not won a cham-
pionship, so you can imagine
how hard he’s going to go for
it,” said Gibbs.
16.636 million viewers on CBS.
Granted football remains at
the center of Mississippi and
the Southern United States’
athletic universe, Saturday’s
crowd at Humphrey Coliseum
did its part in supporting the
Bulldogs on the hardwood.
“Almost 7,600 people in
there today when No. 1 and
No. 2 were playing in football,”
Schaefer said. “We’re in the
good the coverage was, giving
pass-rushers more time to get
to Brees.
“For the guys to work in

cation, technique — I thought
that was a real big piece and one
of the topics we were going into
the game wanting to measure,”
Quinn said.
Stat lines
Julio Jones caught three
passes for 79 yards — including
a 54-yarder to set up a field goal
— for Atlanta, which possessed
Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson,
Blaney and Logano were elim-
inated. Logano was seeking a
chance to make it back-to-back
titles but had a mechanical
problem early in the final stage
that dropped him deep into the
field.
“No clue. An air pressure
adjustment made it go from a
winning car to not able to stay
on the lead lap. That sounds ri-
diculous,” said Logano. “We’ll
live. Everything is going to be
OK. We’re still fortunate to be
here and grateful to do what we
love.”
Elliot’s poor round
Elliott’s championship
chances ended with a crash in
the final stage. He had to win
to earn a berth at Homestead
after a disastrous third round
south where football is a pret-
ty big deal around here. To
see that we have 7,500 people
in there supporting women’s
basketball — it’s a pretty neat
deal.”

Brees went 32 of 45 for 287

think that’s what happened.

decade. Is there
a rule of eti-
quette for kids’
play dates?
Quite often, I
have invited my
child’s school
friends or the
neighbor children
to my home for
play dates, but
their parents
never return the
courtesy. If my child wants to
keep having play dates with
those children, should I contin-
ue inviting them?
I sometimes feel I could be
making the parents uncom-
fortable, but I feel my child’s
socialization is more important
than what the other parents
might think. Am I setting my-
self up for abuse from those
other parents by sending the
message that I don’t mind
always being the host? —
CONFUSED MOTHER
DEAR CONFUSED: Kudos
to you for helping your child
to socialize and inviting the
children into your home. How-
ever, not all parents feel as
comfortable as you do about
having children over, or are as
able to do so. Whether or not
you are being taken advantage
strangers without realizing just
who needs it most.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The best way to catch a thing
isn’t always to run after it. Be
like the spider instead of the
lion. Weave something lovely in
the optimum place, and then
wait for your reward.
GEMINI (May 21-June

DEAR ABBY: Ten months
ago, I searched for my birth
mother and made contact. We
corresponded via letters. She
was terminally ill and preferred
to keep me a secret from her
children. I understood her
feelings and respected her
wishes.
She passed away last
month, and her husband
sent a letter notifying me. My
question is: How long should I
wait before reaching out to my
siblings? — REACHING OUT IN
MAINE
DEAR REACHING OUT: Do
so at any time you wish, but
be prepared for them to be
shocked and possibly disbe-
lieving. It would have been
better had your birth mother
prepared them before her
death, but since she didn’t, I
see no reason why you should
remain a guilty secret.
DEAR VETERANS: For your
service to our nation, I salute
you. My thanks to each of you
on this Veterans Day. You are
the personification of patrio-
tism, self-sacrifice and dedi-
cation to our country. Today
I would also like to recognize
your families for the sacrifices
they, too, have made. — Love,

your capacity for receiving will

also when you give more.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Because you’ve weathered a
few storms in life, you realize
the value of celebrating when
things are going well. It doesn’t
always have to be a big celebra-
tion though. Sometimes a little
cheerfulness is enough.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
This is one of those rare and
wonderful occasions in which
the lasting rewards will come
from the same activities as the
short-term rewards. This is the
richest benefit available is the
actual work itself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Trophies come in many shapes
and forms, serve no practical
purpose and are built to be
ornamental, symbolic and brag-
gadocious. Don’t be tempted by
trophies if there’s anything more
useful to go for.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Advances don’t always
improve quality. You are keen
to test out the older version,
investigate the relics and get to
know the vintage aroma, if only
to enhance your reference point.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Expand your arsenal of
tools for changing your state of
mind. A chemical-free way to
relax yourself on the spot will be
a valuable tool you can employ
often and with great results in
the weeks to come.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). In financial matters,
there’s always a ratio to bal-
ance. When a deal seems too
good for you, you’ll look deeper
into it to see if that it’s true and
also make sure no one else
is suffering because of your
amazing luck.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’ve no need for auto-
correct, preference picks and
smart composition features
right now. You relish the chance
to share original thoughts, and
any digital interference with your
process will be unwelcome.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Your influence will be a
function of how well you accom-
modate others. Make it easy
for people to do the thing you
really want them to do. This is
the secret to success in many
areas.
