NO INJURIES IN HIGHWAY 82 VEHICLE FIRE
A car caught fire on westbound Highway 82 Monday afternoon, but it was extinguished within a half-hour and no one was
injured. The East Oktibbeha Volunteer Fire Department and the Mississippi Highway Patrol responded to the fire at 4:05 p.m.
near the interchange between Highways 82 and 182, just east of Clayton Village. The driver was the only occupant of the
vehicle, pulled over when the hood of the car started to release smoke and exited the car before it went up in flames, county
fire services coordinator Kirk Rosenhan said. The car had a Noxubee County license plate, and the driver left the scene soon
after the authorities arrived.

Still on top: Cyber Monday

sales on track to hit record
Cyber Monday was created
by retailers in 2005 to get
people to shop online
By JOSEPH PISANI
AP Retail Writer
NEW YORK — Cyber Monday is still
holding up as the biggest online shopping
day of the year, even though many of the
same deals have been available online for
weeks and the name harks back to the
days of dial-up modems.
Shoppers are expected to spend a re-
cord $9.4 billion on purchases made on
their phones and computers Monday, up
about 19 percent from last year’s Cyber
Monday, according to Adobe Analytics,
which tracks transactions at 80 of the top
100 U.S. online stores.
Cyber Monday was created by retail-
ers in 2005 to get people to shop online
at a time when high-speed internet was
rare and the iPhone didn’t exist. The idea
was to encourage people to shop at work,
where faster connections made it easier
to browse, when they returned from the
Thanksgiving break.
“It’s somewhat antiquated,” said Rob
Graf, vice president of strategy and in-
sights at cloud computing company Sales-
force, which tracks shopping behavior of
the online stores that use its platform.
“But retailers are still using it as a big
milestone and driving heavy discounts.”
At least one brand played up Cyber
Monday’s origins: Bonobos, the men’s
clothing seller owned by Walmart Inc.,
photographed models posing with clunky
computers and black-and-white TVs for
its site.
“Boot up the dial-up,” one of its Cyber
Monday ads said.
On average, retailers offered 30 per-
cent off on Monday, the steepest dis-
counts of the year, according to Sales-
force.
Some have been offering deals for
days. Amazon started offering Cyber
Monday deals on Saturday, calling the
three-day extravaganza “Cyber Monday
Weekend.”
Walmart kicked off online discounts
for the holidays a week before Hallow-
een. It was a way to combat the shortened
holiday shopping season.
Thanksgiving is always celebrated
on the fourth Thursday of November.
This year, that was Nov. 28, cutting the
typical time between Thanksgiving and
Christmas by nearly a week, making it
the shortest stretch between the two hol-
idays since 2013.

Oktibbeha County still seeking Murder charge

announced in death
funding to replace levee at lake of fighters’ stepdaughter
EMA director: ‘This is
a life safety issue for
anybody who travels
that road’
By Tess Vrbin
tvrbin@cdispatch.com
OKTIBBEHA
COUNTY – County
officials are consid-
ering applying for
five grants to fund
the replacement of
the levee at Oktib-
beha County Lake,
Emergency Manage- Campanella
ment Agency direc-
tor Kristen Campan-
ella told the board
of supervisors at its
Monday meeting.
Campanella said
she met last week
with the grant writ-
ers who recently Howard
helped Starkville secure a $12.66
million grant from the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation to revamp
a mile of Highway 182. The group
can write and send applications for
five grants, two of which are feder-
al and highly competitive, she said.
Both grants are due Jan. 31, so
the county would have to act quick-
ly to submit letters of support to
the grant writers from everyone
who has a stake in County Lake
Road, Campanella said.
“I think we’ve got the support
for it (with) as many people as
we’ve reached out to, so I don’t
think the letters will be a problem
to get,” she said.
All five grants are a 75/25
match, District 3 Supervisor Mar-
vell Howard told The Dispatch.
“It’s probably going to take mul-
tiple funding sources to get this
taken care of, but we’re still in the
exploring stage right now,” How-
ard said.
The grant writers did not tell
Campanella how much they would
charge the county to write the
grants, but they would receive a
percentage of the grant award if
the county receives one, she said.
Agencies that award consid-
er whether a county has adopted
the International Building Code,
which Oktibbeha County has not,
County Engineer Clyde Pritchard
said. The IBC is a model building
code developed by the Interna-
tional Code Council and was most
recently updated in 2018. It has
been adopted as the base code in
several, but not all, jurisdictions in
the United States and a few other
countries.
The county is “sort of starting
behind the eight-
ball” by applying for
flood mitigation and
pre-disaster mitiga-
tion grants without
adopting the IBC,
Pritchard said.
If the levee
breaks, 17,500 acres Pritchard
of nearby land would flood to
some extent, and about 250 people
would have to evacuate at least 112
households. It would cost about $8
million to replace the levee, emer-
gency spillway and floodgate valve,
as well as replacing part of County
Lake Road and constructing a de-
tour.
“It’s not just something that we
want to do,” Campanella said of
replacing the levee. “This is a life
safety issue for anybody who trav-
els that road, and (school) buses
travel it twice a day, so that’s where
we have a leg up. Honestly, if it hap-
pened today, if something tragic
happened, somebody would find
the money to fix it.”
The lake is in the northeastern
portion of the county, west of Coun-
ty Lake Road, which includes the
bridge on the levee. It was built in
the 1960s and holds about 3,406
acre feet, or more than 148 million
cubic feet, of water at normal oper-
ating conditions. Its full capacity
is more than 454 million cubic feet
over 935 acres, but the county has
minimized pressure on the levee
by limiting the amount of water in
the dam since 2016, when a Missis-
sippi Department of Environmen-
tal Quality inspection confirmed
the levee needed repairs.
Howard, Pritchard and Campan-
ella will travel to Jackson on Dec.
10 to discuss more funding options
with state agencies, Howard said.
In other business, County Fire
Services Coordina-
tor Kirk Rosenhan
will retire in Janu-
ary after 31 years
in his position, and
the board of super-
visors will have until
30 days after its first
January meeting to Rosenhan
appoint his succes-
sor.
Rosenhan told The Dispatch he
submitted a letter officially declar-
ing his decision to the county Mon-
day afternoon.
The fire coordinator is a con-
tractor, not a salaried county em-
ployee. Howard suggested the
board consider reclassifying the
position, and County Administra-
tor Emily Garrard said the board
could make it a part-time or full-
time salaried job.
Garrard said Rosenhan can stay
in his position until the board finds
his successor. Rosenhan said he
will try to make the transition as
smooth as possible.
“I certainly will work with
whomever they appoint, and I’m
staying out of that at this point in
time, but I’ll certainly be useful in
the transition,” Rosenhan said.
Prosecutors plan to seek the death
penalty against man charged in
shooting death of 19-year-old
The Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. — Prosecutors plan to seek
the death penalty against a man being charged
with capital murder in the shooting death of the
stepdaughter of a well-known UFC fighter, au-
thorities announced Monday.
Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes
said at a news conference that the capital murder
charge is being filed against 29-year-old Ibra-
heem Yazeed in the death of Aniah Blanchard,
a 19-year-old Alabama college student and step-
daughter of UFC fighter Walt Harris.
Yazeed was already being held without bond
on a kidnapping charge in the woman’s disap-
pearance. Prosecutors said the charges are being
upgraded after Blanchard’s remains were discov-
ered in a wooded area and positively identified.
The medical examiner determined Blanchard
had died from a gunshot wound, Hughes said
in announcing plans by his office to pursue the
death penalty against Yazeed.
Blanchard was last seen Oct. 23 in Auburn, Al-
abama, at a gas station in Auburn, Alabama. Her
black Honda CRV was found abandoned days later
more than 50 miles away at an apartment complex
in Montgomery. Police said her blood was found
in the car.
“This case has absolutely shaken our commu-
nity to its core,” Hughes said.
Hughes said investigators believe Yazeed is
the lone person responsible” for Blanchard’s
death and abduction.
Two other people have been charged with hin-
dering the investigator or helping Yazeed dispose
of evidence. Hughes declined to discuss those
cases Monday.
A judge has issued a gag order in the case to
limit attorney comments to the media. An at-
torney who represented Yazeed in the existing
kidnapping case did not immediately respond to
an email requesting comment on the upgraded
charges.

State needs a clearer path in restoring voting rights for felons
Today in New Orleans,
six Mississippians who are
former felons will present a
premise to a federal appeals
court: It should not take an
act of Congress to have your
voting rights restored.
The implications of how
the court rules could affect
thousands of Mississippians
whose right to vote has been
taken away after conviction
of certain felonies. While
many other states have such
restrictions, Mississippi’s list
of disenfranchising felonies
is longer than most — 22,

Paper trails
provide needed
backup to
electronic ballots
Election security requires
that voters trust the results. But
many electronic voting sys-
tems are clearly insecure, and
untrustworthy. According to the
Brennan Center for Justice, our
country faces a voting security
crisis. Here’s why — paperless
voting machines are just waiting
to be hacked in 2020.
Amid ongoing anxiety about
election hacking and foreign
interference, Lee County con-
tinues to use what many experts
deem the most secure voting
system: the paper ballot, as
reported by Daily Journal staff
writer Caleb Bedillion.
Only a dozen or so counties
still use paper ballots, while
the rest of the state’s 82 coun-
ties use fully electronic voting
systems. Lee County Circuit
Clerk Camille Roberts Dulaney
says hand-marked ballots build
voter confidence and ensure the
integrity of the election.
While electronic voting is
much more convenient in today’s
tech-savvy world, the consensus
of cyber security experts en-
courage the use of paper-based
voting machines. Electronic
machines leave no paper trail
and there’s no way to reliably
audit the results should an error
occur.
The system in Lee County
starts on paper, but contains an
electronic component. Once the
paper ballot is marked, a voter
inserts the ballot into a machine
that scans the ballot and elec-
tronically records the candidate
selections made on that ballot,
a faster process than paper
balloting and counting. This sys-
tem also ensures paper ballots
remain on hand to be rescanned
or consulted if any issues arise.
In the months remaining
before the next election, it is
important that state and lo-
cal election officials ensure
adequate preparations are in
place to quickly and effectively
recover if prevention efforts are
unsuccessful.
While speeding up the
process, glitches will occur, as
noted in Bedillion’s story, but
the paper trail ensures that any
questions about the accuracy
of the count could be answered
by a second look at the paper
ballots.
It’s also important to note
that Mississippi does not require
post-election audits before certi-
fication of election results. How-
ever, there is nothing stopping
counties from conducting such
audits. The audits would not pre-
vent successful attacks against
electronic voting machines, but
would provide states with the op-
portunity to catch such attacks
and then use the paper ballots to
correct totals to reflect voters’
choices.
Faster, electronic methods
have their advantages and are
seen as progress. But having a
reliable paper trail isn’t a step
backward, and can provide need-
ed voter confidence.

Trump calls Democrats impeachment push ‘unpatriotic’

The House Judiciary Committee has set a
hearing on the constitutional grounds for
Trump’s possible impeachment on Wednesday
By AAMER MADHANI
and ZEKE MILLER
The Associated Press
LONDON — President Don-
ald Trump criticized Democrats
at the opening of a NATO lead-
ers’ meeting Tuesday, calling
the impeachment push by his
rivals “unpatriotic” and “a bad
thing for our country.”
Trump, who commented
while meeting with NATO Sec-
retary-General Jens Stolten-
berg, has criticized Democrats
for holding an impeachment
hearing while he is abroad.
The House Judiciary Com-
mittee has set a hearing on
the constitutional grounds for
Trump’s possible impeachment
on Wednesday just before he
wraps up two days of meetings
with NATO alliance members
in London.
“I think it’s very unpatriotic
of the Democrats to put on a per-
formance,” Trump said. “I think
it’s a bad thing for our country.”
Trump isn’t the only one
complaining. Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo, White House
counsel Pat Cipollone and advis-
er Kellyanne Conway all have
criticized the committee’s tim-
ing.
Trump insists he’s solely fo-
cused on scoring domestic and
foreign policy wins, including
revamping NATO so that allies
spend more on defense. But he’s
often appeared consumed by
the day-to-day battle against im-
peachment.
“I’m not even thinking about
it,” Trump insisted anew Tues-
day.
Before the trip to London,
Trump slammed “Do Nothing
Democrats” for scheduling the
hearing during the NATO meet-
ing as “Not nice!”
He also said that during the
flight he had read a newly issued
Republican-prepared report on
impeachment that called his de-
cision to hold up military aid to
Ukraine “entirely prudent.”
Democrats contend Trump
abused his presidential powers
by holding up the aid to pres-
sure Ukraine President Volo-
dymyr Zelenskiy to investigate
former Vice President Joe Biden
and his son
But Trump was adamant
that the cloud of impeachment
wasn’t undercutting his nego-
tiating position on the interna-
tional stage.
“I know most of the leaders,”
Trump said. “I get along with
them. It’s a hoax. The impeach-
ment is a hoax. It’s turned out to
be a hoax. It’s done for purely
political gain. They’re going to
see whether or not they can do
something in 2020 because oth-
erwise they’re going to lose.”
Trump remained focused on
his reelection campaign while
in London, attending a hotel
fundraiser with Americans liv-
ing abroad to benefit the Trump
Victory fund, the joint account
of his campaign and the Repub-
lican National Committee. The
fundraiser is bringing in $3 mil-
lion for the reelection effort, ac-
cording to a Republican familiar
with the event.

Louisville is new No. 1, unranked Michigan goes to No. 4

The Associated Press
Louisville is the latest
No. 1 following an un-
expected loss by Duke.
Michigan has matched a
record by debuting at No.
4.
A season of parity is
taking a toll in the AP
Top 25.
Louisville became the
fourth team in five weeks
to claim the top spot,
receiving 48 of 65 first-
place votes from a na-
tional media panel in The
Associated Press men’s
basketball poll released
Monday.
No. 2 Kansas, coming
off the Maui Invitational
title, had three first-place
votes and No. 5 Virginia
received five. Maryland
rose to No. 3 — the Ter-
rapins’ highest rank-
ing since hitting No. 2
in 2015-16 — in a week
when every spot in the
poll changed from last
week.
Michigan (7-0)
knocked off Iowa State,
No. 7 North Carolina and
No. 9 Gonzaga to win the
Battle 4 Atlantis title in
the Bahamas. The Wol-
verines were rewarded
with nine first-place votes
and matched Kansas in
1989 for the biggest jump
from being unranked in
the history of the poll
that dates to 1949.
Not a bad first season
under former Michigan
star Juwan Howard.
“I’m sure we’re on the
map now,” Howard said.
“A lot of teams are look-
ing and seeing Michigan
as a name that’s out there.
When you beat teams like
Creighton and Iowa State
as well as North Carolina
and Gonzaga, you’re no
longer under the radar.”
Louisville wasn’t ex-
actly under the radar
after opening the pre-
season poll at No. 5. The
Cardinals (7-0) made
a steady climb to No.
2 and moved to the top
spot when previous No.
1 Duke lost at home to
Stephen F. Austin. Duke
dropped to No. 10 after
its 150-game home win-
ning streak against non-
conference opponents
ended in Durham.
Louisville has its first
No. 1 ranking since 2013
— the year the Cardinals
won the national title
— after beating Akron
and Western Kentucky
last week. The only oth-
er time Louisville was
ranked No 1. was in 2009.
“There’s no team
that’s arrived. No team’s
arrived,” Cardinals coach
Chris Mack said. “A lot of
people are saying that we
haven’t played anybody.
A lot of people are saying
we’re not there. Maybe
we aren’t deserving. I
don’t care.”
The record for most
teams at No. 1 is seven,
set in 1983, so this sea-
son is already more than
halfway there. Another
jumble could come next
Monday because of a
slate of huge games this
week, including Michi-
gan at Louisville on Tues-
day.
“So many good teams,
not very many great
teams,” Michigan State
coach Tom Izzo said. “Ev-
erybody’s got question
marks. Everybody’s got
things to try to deal with
and I don’t think any of
us know where anybody
is right now. ... Very good
might be the key word.
Great might be out of the
equation right now.”
Jayhawks rise
Kansas was No. 3 in
the preseason poll and
dropped to fifth after a
season-opening loss to
Duke. The Jayhawks (6 -
1) have been on a roll
since them, culminat-
ing last week with their
third Maui Invitational
title.
Kansas used its size
up front to beat up on
Chaminade, Brigham
Young and Dayton to add
to the Maui titles it won
in 1996 and 2015.
“I’m not sure the win
will have a ton to do with
what we do going for-
ward,” Jayhawks coach
Bill Self said. “It’s still
November and I would
like to think that that
automatically puts us
in a very good or favor-
able position, but if you
don’t play well against
Colorado, a top-20 team,
next Saturday then this
probably didn’t mean as
much.”
Rising
Michigan had the big-
gest jump after receiv-
ing 12 overall votes last
week. No. 6 Ohio State
and No. 14 Auburn were
next, each moving up
four spots.
Falling
No. 25 Utah State had
the biggest drop, falling
10 places after losing to
Saint Mary’s on Friday.
No. 11 Michigan State
tumbled eight spots af-
ter going 2-1 in the Maui
Invitational.
No. 21 Tennessee
dropped four places
after losing to Florida
State and beating Virgin-
ia Commonwealth at the
Emerald Coast Classic.

Virginia views matchup vs No.

3 Clemson as ‘opportunity’
The Associated Press
Virginia just ended
one streak and the No.
22 Cavaliers would like
nothing more than to
end a few more against
Clemson in the Atlan-
tic Coast Conference
championship game.
The Cavaliers (9 -3)
earned their spot in the
title game by snapping
a 15 -year losing streak
against rival Virgin-
ia Tech. Now they are
preparing for the chal-
lenge of taking on heav-
ily favored Clemson
(12-0) looking to end
the third-ranked Ti-
gers’ 27-game winning
streak, and four-year
run of ACC champion-
ships.
It looks like a mis-
match — except to the
Cavaliers. To them, it’s
a chance to further ad-
vance the program’s up-
ward trajectory.
“Opportunities like
this don’t happen every
day. To go up against
the reigning national
champs, ACC champs.
It’s a great opportuni-
ty,” linebacker Charles
Snowden said Monday.
“You’re not going to
find better talent than
this in the country. I’m
excited to get that op-
portunity.”
The programs ha-
ven’t met since 2013
when the No. 9 Tigers
rolled to a 59 -10 victory
at Scott Stadium. Since
then, Clemson has
won four ACC champi-
onships and played in
three national champi-
onship games, winning
two. The Cavaliers,
meanwhile, will be
making their first title
game appearance in
program history.
That doesn’t mean
the Cavaliers are
conceding anything
heading into Saturday
night’s game in Char-
lotte, North Carolina.
“All year long, all
spring, all camp, ...
we’ve been working
as a team to be exact-
ly here,” quarterback
Bryce Perkins said.
The Cavaliers were
more surprised when
they came up short in
the games they lost
this season, linebacker
Noah Taylor said.
“We knew what was
going to happen,” he
said. “I mean honestly,
we didn’t think we were
would lose those three
games that we lost.”
Coach Bronco Men-
denhall will lead Vir-
ginia into a bowl game
for the third straight
year after they went five
years without playing in
the postseason. Being a
big underdog against
the Tigers just makes
the Cavaliers like ev-
eryone else Clemson
has played this year,
the coach said.
“If you look at the
program they have es-
tablished over time,
the job coach (Dabo)
Swinney has done, as
well as their record, I
think we’ll just be the
next team that will be
lumped in the same
category as everyone
else,” Mendenhall said.
“The difference simply
is that we’ve battled,
scrapped and clawed
our way to win our side
of the division in a pro-
gram that hasn’t known
recent success and is
hungry for more.
“The rest of it will be
played out in the game.”
Swinney sees sim-
ilarities between the
Tigers and what Men-
denhall is building at
Virginia.
“Heck, we played for
our first (ACC) cham-
pionship my very first
year in ‘09, then we got
beat. We got back two
years later in ‘11 and
we won. Then we got
our first bid to the Or-
ange Bowl, gave up 70
points,” Swinney said.
“... It’s just all part of
the journey.
“Regardless of who
wins the game or what
the score is or any of
that stuff, this is a huge
moment for both teams.
You’re in a champion-
ship game. You’ve com-
peted on the field for
our division. It’s the
culmination of an ex-
cellent conference sea-
son.”
Tigers quarterback
Trevor Lawrence,
who guided last year’s
championship run, said
experience helps be-
cause it’s important to
manage your emotions
on the big stages.
“I think just not mak-
ing the moment too
big,” he said. “That’s
something that’s easy
to do, especially if you
haven’t been there be-
fore.”

Orgeron: LSU a ‘step ahead’ in retention plan for Joe Brady

The Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La.
— LSU coach Ed Org-
eron said he’s a “step
ahead” of potential suit-
ors trying to lure passing
game coordinator and
Broyles Award finalist
Joe Brady away from the
No. 1 Tigers.
Brady is in his first
season with LSU after
spending two seasons as
a low-level offensive as-
sistant with the New Or-
leans Saints.
On Monday, Brady
of five finalists for the
Broyles Award presented
to the nation’s top college
assistant.
Orgeron said LSU has
“a plan in place” to retain
Brady and is “in good
shape,” but did not elab-
orate.
Brady was brought
in to help LSU offensive
coordinator Steve Ens-
minger install a spread
offense that includes run-
pass option plays. His
hiring has coincided with
the rise of the most pro-
lific offense in program
mation of quarterback
Joe Burrow into a leading
Heisman Trophy candi-
date.
Burrow’s 4,366 yards
passing is not just a
school but also South-
eastern Conference sin-
gle-season record, and
his 44 touchdowns pass-
ing, with at least two
games to play, has tied
the SEC record. LSU’s
560.5 yards and 48.7
points per game both
rank second nationally.
LSU (12-0, 8-0 SEC,
No. 2 CFP) meets No. 4

game on Saturday.

With Tuesday’s open-

have put in the work
they needed to overcome
their offensive shortcom-
ings.
“Not being able to fin-

for us last year,” junior
Wilkes Stubbs said. “We
just know what needs to
be done, and we’re gonna
get it done.”
After the Volunteers
graduated three starting
midfielders, a reserve

starting goalkeeper,
first-year head coach
John Morgan knew a
chor a position grouping
among the strongest on
the team.
“It’s a switch-up, but
I’m confident in it,” Pol-
lan said. “Defensive
mid’s more fun to me.”
Morgan plugged of-
fensive lineman Charlie
Cox from the Starkville
Academy football
team into the starting
goalkeeper position.
Through the Vols’ first
few practices, the 6-foot-
2, 200-pound sophomore
has already looked the
part.
“I think football play-
ers can make some of

Morgan said. “You can’t

they were 10 years old

pend on the play of one

“We have a very solid

said. “Where most teams

“We have guys that

Morgan said.
But with the talent

Ole Miss
Continued from Page 1B
talking about the future
and vision of Ole Miss
football, I think we can
get people back quickly.”
Carter cited a lack of
fan support and declining
ticket sales as a reason for
the change.
Luke began his tenure
as Ole Miss’ interim head
coach after Hugh Freeze
resigned in the summer
of 2017. After Ole Miss
went 6-6 in 2017, Luke got
to keep the job.
When Luke was hired
by former athletic direc-
tor Ross Bjork, it was con-
sidered a potentially hard
sell because Luke had no
previous head coaching
experience aside from
that season-long interim
stint.
“What I just kept com-
ing back to is while we
could see some progress
in certain areas and we’ve
been competitive on the
field in most games this
year,” Carter said. “It just
felt like the apathy around
the program and the lack
of support were going to
be hard to overcome.”
Carter is launching
this search less than
two weeks after having
the interim tag removed
from his own title. He was
named Ole Miss’ athletic
director Nov. 22 after fill-
ing the role on an interim
basis since May.
During his introduc-
tory press conference 10
days ago, Carter said he
believed the football pro-
gram was “headed in a
great direction” and add-
ed that he was “so excit-
ed” about Luke.
Since that news con-
ference, Ole Miss lost
21-20 to rival Mississippi
State in the Egg Bowl to
finish a 4-8 season. Ole
Miss missed a potential
game-tying, extra-point
attempt from 35 yards out
in the closing seconds af-
ter Elijah Moore received
an unsportsmanlike con-
duct penalty for celebrat-
ing a touchdown by hik-
ing his leg like a dog and
pretending to urinate on
the field.
“We are not seeing
enough success on the
field,” Carter said. “From
a recruiting, academic
and cultural standpoint,
Matt did a tremendous
job and I am grateful to
him for that. However, as
I said, winning is import-
ant and we know that we
can win at Ole Miss and
compete in champion-
ships.”
Luke was popular with
his players. Carter ac-
knowledged that about
8-10 players walked out of
a Sunday night meeting
announcing Luke’s dis-
missal before the meeting
had ended.
“I’m not mad or angry
at those players,” Carter
said. “It was an emotional
day yesterday. They loved
coach Luke. We all love
coach Luke. I totally un-
derstand the emotions. I
remember when I was 18-
19-20 years old. Emotions
sometimes can get the
best of you. We absolute-
ly are going to do every-
thing we can to support
those guys.”
Carter hinted that a
search for the next head
coach had already begun.
Carter helped lead the Ole
Miss basketball coaching
search that resulted in the
2018 hire of Kermit Davis,
who led the Rebels to an
NCAA Tournament berth
in his debut season.
Carter is using the

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
My widowed
mother-in-
law, “Minnie,”
works full time
as a trucker, trav-
eling around the
U.S. She doesn’t
have a home of
her own since she
lives on the road.
My husband and
ZITS I live in a small
one-bedroom
apartment. When
she’s here for
holidays or family
functions, she
Dear Abby
always sleeps on
our couch.
At first I didn’t mind once
or twice for holidays, but since
my niece was born, Minnie
wants to be home more to visit
with her. My husband’s brother
has a large home and plenty of
space, but Minnie never stays
GARFIELD there because she doesn’t like
my sister-in-law. Minnie is also
irresponsible about letting us
know when she’s coming and
how long she will be staying.
One night can turn into a
week.
I have had many conversa-
tions and some blowout fights
with my husband over this is-
sue. He’s the older brother and
feels guilty about asking her to
stay at a hotel. My sister-in-
law doesn’t help the situation.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec.
3). Before the close of the year,
you become free of a burden or
constriction, and as a result,
there will be a short lull and a
long creative run in which you
will merge and develop your tal-
ent into the stratosphere. You’ll
stumble onto a secret and have
the option to share or keep it.
A special relationship will be a
source of joy. Libra and Cancer
BABY BLUES adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 40, 8, 35, 42 and 37.
ARIES (March 21-April

in a space changes the energy

advantage and affect the envi-
ronment in interesting ways as

said, adding he believes
Edwards-Helaire “is the
best back in the country.”
Georgia’s hopes of
beating LSU and winning
its second SEC title in the
last three years under
coach Kirby Smart may
rest on Fromm’s ability to
shake out of the passing
slump.
Unfortunately for the
Bulldogs, Fromm’s sea-
son-long adjustment to
changes at wide receiv-
er continues. Freshman
George Pickens will be
suspended for the first
half as punishment for
his ejection for fighting
in the second half against
Georgia Tech. Pickens

DREADING IT IN
THE EAST
DEAR DREAD-
ING: Blowout
fights with your
husband are
detrimental to
your marriage.
Because he appears to be un-
able to summon the backbone
to have an honest conversa-
tion with his mother, I guess
it’s up to you.
Explain to Minnie that the
current arrangement isn’t
working. Tell her twice-a-year
visits for holidays and family
functions were manageable,
but in the future, if she’s
unwilling to stay in her younger
son’s home, she should
arrange to stay at a hotel or
motel for those “extra” visits.
DEAR ABBY: Some of my
extended family members
have become vegan. When
they come to my home, I make
sure to have appropriate food
for them, in addition to non-
vegan food for others. When I

TAURUS (April 20-May
20). They don’t always feel the
zing of your wit or laugh in the
right places, because you’re a
step ahead. Don’t worry; they’ll
catch up. In the meantime, keep
setting the pace and tone like
it’s your job. It sort of is.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There was a chaotic element
you were actively blocking out of
your life. Through the years, you
learned to do this so automat-
ically you no longer realize it’s
a choice, though you’ll have a
different perspective on it today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You may feel as though you’ve
slipped in the area of self-com-
mand. It’s like you don’t want to

Smart said the “big-
gest difference” for
Fromm this season has
been his receivers.
“There’s not been a
level of consistency with
the perimeter skill that
there probably was last
year,” Smart said.
Fromm has thrown a
combined five touchdown
passes with no intercep-
tions in the last two SEC
championship games.
One year ago, Fromm
outplayed Alabama’s Tua
Tagovailoa in the SEC
title game, throwing
for 301 yards and three
touchdowns. Jalen Hurts
entered the game to lead
Alabama to a 35-28 win
over the Bulldogs.
am invited to their homes for
a celebration, they offer only
vegan selections. No one is
allowed to bring nonvegan or
meat-based dishes to their
home.
It has reached the point
that I no longer want to go
there when a meal is involved.
I have tried talking to them
about this, but their reply
is, “No meat allowed in our
home.” I now leave before
mealtime because I don’t like
a lot of their dishes.
Is it common for vegans to
prohibit guests from ever tak-
ing other food into their home?
Thanks for any light you can
shed on this. — MEAT LOVER
IN HOUSTON
DEAR MEAT LOVER: People
become vegans for a variety
of reasons. Some do because
they feel it is unethical to kill
animals for food. Others do
it because they feel raising
animals for slaughter is
harmful to the planet. People
also become vegans for health
reasons.
Individuals who adopt this
way of life often feel as your
relatives do, and that’s their
privilege. If it impinges on
your freedom or limits your
enjoyment of these celebra-
tions, forgo them and either
participate in get-togethers
that don’t include food or go to
an accommodating restaurant.
follow your own instructions.
Start small. Tell yourself to
stand up. Achieve it. Then go for
something a little bigger.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Take a break from the effort of
relationships. You don’t have to
do anything more than be open
to love in its many forms, and
it will come to you just the way
you most need it to.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’ll enter a fresh scene.
Being new in a situation is an
opportunity to present yourself
in whatever way you feel like be-
ing seen. Exercise your right to
experiment. You can be whoever
you want to be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You may like a person very
much and yet realize that you
somehow are not at your best
around that person. Take notice
and endeavor to spend more
time with the people who make
you feel like more than you
were, not less.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The manners involved in a
correspondence will play heavily
into the outcome. Which salu-
tations should you use? Should
you hug or shake hands? When
the little details hit the right
note, the relationship sings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). There are so many
demands of you today, and
you’ll be as capable as you
are organized. Make a list and
check it twice so nothing falls
through the cracks.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). When the days are shorter
and colder, it’s more challenging
to replenish your energy with
time in the sun, but catching a
few rays and some fresh air is
crucial to your well-being.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Aristotle suggested,
“All knowledge seems to be
teachable, and what is known is
learnable.” While that may well
be the case, stick to the inter-
section of the most learnable
and the worthiest of imparting.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Trouble, like many other
commodities available for bor-
row, accrues interest. And so,
successfully steering clear of
anything that smacks of drama
will save you more energy than
you think.
