Nora Miller appointed president at MUW

IHL Board vote Friday propels acting leader to permanent post
By Slim Smith

Friday was supposed to be
the first of several “listening
sessions” held on the Mississip-
pi University for Women cam-
pus during its process to find
a successor to Jim Borsig, who
retired as the university’s presi-
dent in June.
But by the end of the day, the
Board of Trustees of the State
Institutions of Higher Learning
had heard enough.
After going into executive
session at 5 p.m., the board
soon emerged to announce it

Miller, a MUW alumna who
had been serving as acting
president since Borsig’s retire-
ment, has 17 years of service
at the university, most recently
as senior vice president for ad-
ministration and chief financial
officer.
Miller said Friday’s an-
nouncement will allow the uni-
versity to move in some areas
that she had not pursued as act-
ing president.
“I’m excited, obviously,” she
said. “I guess the big thing is
we can get started on some of

Starkville may partner with bike-sharing company

Lime would offer
bikes for rent
in city through
mobile app
By Alex Holloway
aholloway@cdispatch.com
Starkville aldermen
will consider on Tues-
day partnering with a
bike-sharing company as
a step for improving bicy-
cle access in the city.
Aldermen heard a pre-
sentation from John Ursy,
operations manager for
Lime in Starkville — a
bike — and scooter-shar-
ing company that is in
cities across the United
States.
The company brought
its bikes to Mississippi
State University a few
weeks ago, Ursy said, and
is looking to expand on
its on-campus success by
spreading into the city.
The program, if aldermen
approve it, would be the
first partnership between
Lime and a Mississippi
city and will come at no
cost to Starkville.
Lime allows users to
rent bicycles by using a
mobile phone app, similar
to what Uber clients use to
order vehicle rides. The
app charges as $1 fee to
unlock a bike and 15 cents
per minute. College stu-
dents who register to use
Lime with a .edu email
address can use the bikes
for a discounted rate of 50
cents per half-hour.
Ursy said Lime is dif-
ferent than some other
bike-sharing programs
because the bikes don’t

have to be docked at racks.
“Traditionally, when
this industry started, it
was a docked bike shar-
ing where you’d have a
bike rack where you’d
put several of them in
the city,” Ursy said. “The
limitations of that are
it’s expensive (and) it
takes up more space be-
cause you’ve got this hub
throughout the city. It
worked well to introduce
people to the concept,
but it’s inconvenient. You
have to park your bike in
a specific place, you can’t
leave it where you want
to (and) it ends up giving
poor coverage to every-
body in the city.”
Lime’s bikes, Ursy
said, can be left almost
anywhere, and they have
a lock that engages on
the rear wheel when not
in use. The company has
staff in Starkville that
monitors the area to move
the bikes when needed,
and he said the app can
use GPS to mark certain

areas can be marked as
designated parking or
no parking areas for the
bikes. Lime can fine us-
ers who leave bikes in no
parking areas.
“With the parking,
that’s obviously a big con-
cern that a lot of cities
have when we come in,”
Ursy said. “We don’t want
to see bike crowding side-
walks. We don’t want to
see it getting in the way
of pedestrians. We don’t
want to see it getting in
the way of parking spaces
or really areas that are in-
appropriate.”
Lime brought its bike
sharing program to Mis-
sissippi State around La-
bor Day. Ursy said the
program has already gen-
erated more than 2,000
rides in two weeks, with
about 1,000 unique rid-
ers. Lime has 200 bikes
and 50 deployment loca-
tions on campus.
Ursy said the compa-
ny is looking to have 22

Support for program
Mayor Lynn Spruill,
who said she’s excited
about the program, said
the data could be useful
for Starkville as it lead-

improve pedestrian and
bike access throughout
the city.
“If we have some of
those good
numbers

“That al-

agreed to cover $300,000
in funding for the Gold-
en Triangle Development
LINK — which recruits
industry and retail to the
county — that will no lon-
ger come from the city of
Columbus ($100,000) or
the Columbus-Lowndes
Convention and Visitors
Bureau ($200,000). The
city council defunded the
LINK starting in October
and instead hired a retail
development firm. CVB
lost its funding when the
county’s 2-percent restau-
rant sales tax expired in
July.
“It was just a perfect
storm of all those things
happening in the same
budget year,” Billingsley
said.
The value of the coun-
ty’s mill is $611,000, which
means a 2-mill increase
will bring in an additional
$1,222,000 to the county.
Supervisors also agreed
to shift 0.73 mills from the
county’s road department
to the general fund, money
Billingsley said had been
earmarked for paving proj-
ects the county does not
intend to complete in the
fiscal year.
“The good news is that,
according to our projec-
tions for the next year and
the year after that, we’ll be
able to go back to the old
millage as more fee-in-
lieu (agreements) convert
to full taxes,” Billingsley
said. “Of course, that’s just
the projections. As of to-
day, we don’t know.”
Fees-in-lieu allow new
industry developments
worth at least $100 million
to pay one-third of the full
property tax amount for
up to 10 years. After the 10
years expires, those devel-
opments begin paying the
full tax amount.
The millage set by the
supervisors will fund the
county’s $46,828,203 bud-
get, which is $382,979 less
than the 2018 budget.
The supervisors also
approved the school dis-
trict’s 2018-19 millage at
46.71, the same as the cur-
rent year.
To maintain that mill-
age, LCSD Superinten-
dent Lynn
Wright said
his board
chose to
cover an
estimated
$2.5 million
shortfall by
dipping into Wright
reser ves.
The district also imple-
mented a hiring freeze.
Some of that shortfall
— about $800,000 worth
— comes from what the
court decision on airport
property will cost LCSD in
property taxes.

The ever-evolving South
“One of the first things
I can remember in my life
was hearing about the ‘New
South.’ I was 3 years old, in
Alabama. Not a year has
passed since that I haven’t
heard about a New South …
my definition of a New South
would be a South in which it
never occurred to anybody to
mention the New South.”
— Walker Percy as
quoted by John Meacham
in Time magazine
in the 51 pages devoted to
this multifaceted, insightful
and, at times, uncomfort-
able portrait. And, other
than Meacham’s quote of
Walker Percy — which I
expect was too good to pass
up — there is little mention
of the “New South.”
A few snippets:
Here’s hospitality doy-
enne and writer Julia Reed
Birney Imes on the creation of Doe’s Eat
Place in her hometown of
Greenville:
say, House writes about how his town
has confronted its past and the disap-
pearance of mining and railroad jobs
that had been its economic backbone.
Central to the reinvention underway
in Corbin is the Wrigley Taproom &
Eatery, a local watering hole that fea-
tures “the best old fashioned I’ve ever
had” and “the food is local, delicious
and inventive.
“Corbin, like the South itself,”
House concludes, “still has a long way
to go. But the spirit of inclusivity that
lives in the Wrigley is infectious. In a
region that doesn’t always love me as
Atkins finds succor in a readily
available source:
“In time of trouble,” Atkins writes,
“I put my faith in Elvis Presley, who
represented the South’s better angels.
He was a hard worker, and although
he lived the high life, he never forgot
he had been born into poverty. I don’t
think you’ll ever hear an interview
with the man when he didn’t express
gratitude and humility for all that life
had given him. …
“Elvis knew what it was like to be
dirt-poor, to struggle for food and
shelter. By the time his talent helped

O
ne day last week, finding myself
afoot in a northern village with
time on my hands, I ventured
into a basement thrift store. You know
the kind of place, shelves lined with
garage-sale cast-offs, children’s toys,
dresser-top nicknacks of brightly
colored plastic and limp, long-out-of-
fashion clothing.
After a brief perusal of the men’s
knit shirts and jeans, I made for the
exit, pausing to speak to the volunteer
on duty. On the counter by the cash
register was a cardboard box full of
free magazines.
On the top of the stack was the
Aug. 6/Aug. 13, 2018, issue of Time
magazine, “The South Issue.” There
is plenty to smile about and ponder
“So it was that ‘Big Doe’ Signa (who
had tried his hand at bootlegging) sold
his still for $300 and a Ford Model T
and turned his family’s grocery store
into a honky-tonk and takeout joint
offering up spaghetti, chili and the hot
tamales. Located on Nelson Street,
the city’s unofficial African-American
Main Street, it was part of a bustling
scent that included late-night barber-
shops, sidewalk craps games, more
than a dozen Chinese groceries and
so many blues clubs that it has been
compared to Memphis’ Beale Street.”
Novelist Silas House writes about
his hometown of Corbin, Kentucky,
where in 1919, a mob of white men
drove almost 200 African-American
railroad workers out of town. In his es-
much as I love it, the Wrigley is a place
where a rural gay man like me feels
safe. That’s the New South — and the
America — in which I want to live, a
place I could have never imagined as
a child.”
My favorite piece in the magazine
comes from best-selling crime writer
Ace Atkins, who according to his web-
site, “lives in Oxford, Mississippi, with
his family, where he’s friend to many
dogs and several bartenders.” Atkins
begins by bemoaning a moral regres-
sion he sees in the country:
“Lately, I feel like our moral com-
pass has been broken, spinning to
intolerance, greed, hypocrisy and a
meanness that’s as thick as the humid-
ity in July.”

golden-edged mirrors and thick,
white carpet, he was already using his
money to help others, often quietly
and with no fanfare. He didn’t create
a foundation and then use outside
donations to buy a larger-than-life
portrait of himself. He just went out
and bought that lady a Cadillac. Got
that fella a job.”
In Elvis, Atkins finds hope:
“And yet here we are. We know
right from wrong, but most of us down
here voted for wrong. As Elvis once
said, ‘Truth is like the sun. You can
shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’
away.’”

Roses and thorns

A rose to the Columbus
Crime Lab, now in its 11th
year. From its modest start
— one technician with a
fingerprint kit and not much
else — the lab has proven its
worth over the ensuing years. That one lab
tech, Austin Shepherd, now leads a unit that
has four employees and has run more than
60,000 tests in the fields of drug analysis,
fingerprint analysis, cell phone extraction,
limited video enhancement and crime scene
investigation, on more than 42,000 pieces
of evidence. The lab has assisted more than
60 law enforcement agencies in Mississippi,
Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee, and has
proven to be a very effective tool for helping
promote the safety of our community.

A rose to Nora Miller, who

was named president of Mis-
sissippi University for Wom-
en on Friday. The speed with
which the IHL Board moved
in this decision only affirms
Miller’s impeccable credentials for the job.
With 17 years of experience at the The W
— including Jim Borsig’s seven years as
president where Miller was his No. 1 aid —
Miller’s intimate knowledge of the university
and her devotion to her alma mater made her
not only the best choice, but the only choice,
as evidenced by the IHL’s swift action in
promoting her to the position. Miller, who
had served as acting president since Borsig
retired in June, will ensure a smooth and
seamless transition as The W moves forward
in its important mission. Congratulations,
President Miller!
A rose to the Starkville-
MSU Symphony, which
kicked off its 50th season
Saturday with a concert at
The W’s Rent Auditorium.
The season-opening concert
is part of a partnership between Starkville-
MSU Symphony and MUW, bringing world-
class, locally performed classical music to
a broader Golden Triangle audience. The
Starkville-MSU Symphony Association
was established on March 2, 1969. Under
its leadership, the symphony’s program of
work has grown to support the community
orchestra, chorus and its yearly education
initiative, Programs for Children. With the
goal of introducing the vibrant classical
music genre to an audience reflecting the
entire Starkville and surrounding commu-
nity, every concert has remained free to the
public throughout the entire 50-year history.
Bravo!
A rose to Mississippi
School for Mathematics and
Science students who have
organized Sunday’s Leuke-
mia and Lymphoma Society’s
Light The Night Walk. The
event will be held at 6 p.m. at the Columbus
Riverwalk, and family, friends and MSMS
students will gather together to celebrate,
honor or remember those touched by cancer.
Registration is free, but walkers are encour-
aged to raise funds to support the mission.
The event will include music, fireworks and
ceremonies honoring survivors and remem-
bering those lost to these cancers.
The Nation
Where have you gone, Bob Woodward?
“Where have you
gone, Bob Woodward?
Our nation turns its
lonely eyes to you.”
I asked that question
in January, repurposing
a Paul Simon lyric to im-
plore the dean of Amer-
ican political reporters
to help us make sense
of the mess that is the
Trump White House.
On Tuesday, Woodward Leonard Pitts
finally came through.
That was the release
date of his latest book, “Fear:
Trump in the White House.” You
may infer the public hunger for it
from a Washington Post report that and to a degree arguably no other
a whopping 750,000 copies were
sold on just the first day. According tionally and intellectually damaged
to The Post, foreign embassies
have been buying the book in bulk.
The whole world, it seems, wants
a peek inside this sad excuse for a
presidency. As an American, one
feels an embarrassment rough-
ly akin to finding one’s tattered
drawers hanging on a clothes line
in Times Square.
Trump has tried to laugh the
book off, using tactics that by now
seem as familiar as they do desper-
ate and threadbare. “Fiction,” he
tweeted. “Joke,” he tweeted. And
etcetera.
Problematically for him, howev-
er, this isn’t Michael Wolff, whose
“Fire and Fury” was marred by re-
portorial sloppiness. Nor is it some
former aide who can be written off
as disgruntled. No, Woodward is
the real deal, a two-time
Pulitzer Prize winner
who was making his
bones when Trump and
his daddy were still
scheming how not to
rent apartments to black
people.
That said, the portrait
he paints is quite remi-
niscent of others we’ve
read. Trump emerges as
an idiot, an uninformed
boor, a mean bully, an
idiot, a liar, an incompe-
tent lout, an idiot, a whiny toddler.
And an idiot.
But Woodward also teases out -
observer has - a sense of how emo-
the man is. No one ever quite says
this (though Woodward reports one
of his lawyers considers him “clear-
ly disabled”) but the impression
rises unavoidably from scene after
scene of advisers trying and failing
to get the simplest information to
take root in his mind.
At one point, one of them asks,
“Why do you have these views?”
“I just do,” says Trump. “I’ve had
these views for 30 years.”
This impairment, this inability
to get past what he thinks he knows
in order to absorb and analyze new
information, comes into chilling
play as his national security team
tries to get him to understand the
criticality of the nation’s Termi-
nal High Altitude Area Defense
(THAAD) system, based in South
Korea at a cost of a billion dollars a
year.
Trump wants to move it to Port-
land.
If based in South Korea, his
advisers explain (and explain and
explain), the system lets us know
within seven seconds if North Ko-
rea launches a missile attack — giv-
ing us precious extra time to shoot
it down before some South Korean
or American town is obliterated.
Put it elsewhere and that seven sec-
onds expands to 15 long minutes.
Yet Trump still wants to move it
to Portland. Why? He’s obsessed
with the idea that South Korea
is pulling a fast one, snookering
us into paying for its defense. He
doesn’t care about allies or mutu-
al interests. He just cares about
getting paid.
It’s worth remembering that
Trump was elected because some
of us wanted a strongman to turn
back the clock on demographic
change. But change is still coming.
The only question is what kind
of nation we’ll be when it arrives.
Seldom has the price of intolerance
loomed so high.
As Woodward told Stephen Col-
bert, “We better wake up to what’s
really going on.” With “Fear,” he’s
done his part. He’s set off an alarm.
We sleep through it at our own
peril.

Senate candidate: Mississippi begs for ‘government scraps’
‘I condemn and reject in the strongest
possible terms Chris McDaniel’s
characterization of African-
Americans as beggars.’
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant via Twitter

JACK-
SON — Re-
sponding to
a question
about black
voters, a from the University of
white U.S.
Senate can-
McDaniel
didate in
Mississippi said Friday
that the state has been
“begging for federal gov-

years and is still “dead

on MSNBC’s “Morning

Oxford, Mississippi.

Public Safety Commissioner Marshall
Fisher: He won’t spend money with

By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Missis-
sippi’s state police agency
says it will no longer buy
Nike products, with Pub-
lic Safety Commissioner
Marshall Fisher saying he
won’t spend money with
“vendors who do not sup-
port law enforcement and
our military.”
It isn’t immediately
clear how much gear the
agency buys from Nike
or if it purchases directly
from the company.
But Mississippi’s Re-
publican establishment
is jumping to support the
tween gun violence and
hip-hop music. Glaude
said 38 percent of Missis-
sippi residents are black
and asked how McDaniel
would convince them he’s
not a “danger.”
McDaniel said the hip-
hop study he cites came
California, Berkeley, and
most Mississippi resi-
dents who voted in a 2001
election chose to keep the
state flag.
Glaude asked again
what McDaniel would say
to black residents, and
McDaniel responded: “Af-
ter 100 years of begging
for federal government
scraps, where are you to-
day?”
Some members of the
mostly white audience
booed and McDaniel
said: “I’m talking about
the state of Mississippi.”
McDaniel told The As-
sociated Press in a phone
interview later Friday:
“Me, personally, and I
think Mississippians as
well, I think we’re tired of
corporate welfare, we’re
tired of government hand-
outs to people.”
He said the U.S. econ-
omy is too dependent on
cause, with Gov. Phil Bry-
ant lauding his appoin-
tee’s decision.
It’s the latest dustup
following Oregon-based
Nike’s decision to use
former San Francisco
49ers quarterback Colin
Kaepernick in an ad cam-
paign. Kaepernick began
kneeling during the na-
tional anthem to protest
police brutality and social
injustice in 2016.
Fisher’s move is draw-
ing criticism from the
Mississippi chapter of the
American Civil Liberties
Union and some Demo-
cratic state lawmakers.

of them are going into
big careers and ... some
of them are looking for
careers to go into.”
The officer who asked
Graves if he wanted to be
a fireman is Capt. Chris
Sartin, also a student.
He became a firefight-
er as a sophomore at
MSU. Six years later and
he’s worked his way up
through officer ranks
and is currently volun-
teering while studying to
become certified public
accounting at Mississippi
University for Women.
“We have a family atti-
tude around here,” Sartin
said of the firefighters
volunteering with him
at East Oktibbeha Fire
Department, which has
12 college students. “A lot
of guys come in just be-
cause they’re interested
in it. As they spend time
with us, they form bonds
with other members. We
look at each other as fam-
ily and we stick together.”
The volunteers in the
rural departments come
from all kinds of back-
grounds, said Pennell
and Oktibbeha Fire Ser-
vices Coordinator Kirk
Rosenhan. That includes
career firefighters with
Starkville Fire Depart-
ment who volunteer on
their days off, paramed-
ics at OCH Regional
Medical Center, oil field
workers, carpenters,
foresters, fathers and
husbands.
“Between fire, rescue
and first response EMS,

senhan said.

and having some satisfac-
tion of helping folks. It’s
that simple.”
The students prove
vital because they often
can respond to calls when
the older volunteer with
traditional careers are at
work, both Rosenhan and
Pennell agreed.
“(They come in think-
ing) this is an exciting
thing,” Pennell said.
“And then they find out
there’s more to it than
just squirting water on
fires. I guess you’d call it
maturing. ... Most of the
time when you get into
the fire service, within
a year you’re going to
see somebody that’s not
alive. ... And a lot of them
change their attitude
from just being a big, bad
fireman that runs up and
down the road with their
red light on to somebody
that can make some dif-
ference in people’s lives.”

Pennell said many
of the students choose
careers based on some-
thing they experienced
while volunteering. He’s
had firefighters who
became law enforcement
officers, lawyers, even
medical flight nurses.
And then there are
those who become career

Florence pours on the rain
By ALLEN G. BREED
The Associated Press
NEW BERN, N.C. —
The Marines, the Coast
Guard, civilian crews and
volunteers used helicop-
ters, boats and heavy-duty
vehicles Saturday to rescue
hundreds of people trapped
by Florence’s shoreline on-
slaught, even as North Car-
olina braced for what could
be the next stage of the
disaster: widespread, cata-
strophic flooding inland.
The death toll from the
hurricane-turned-tropical
storm climbed to 11.
A day after blowing
ashore with 90 mph winds,
Florence practically parked
itself over land all day long
and poured on the rain.
With rivers rising toward
record levels, thousands
of people were ordered to
evacuate for fear the next
few days could bring the
most destructive round of
flooding in North Carolina
history.
More than 2 feet of rain
had fallen in places, and
the drenching went on and
on, with forecasters saying
there could be an addition-
al 1½ feet by the end of the
weekend.
“I cannot overstate it:
Floodwaters are rising, and
if you aren’t watching for
them, you are risking your
life,” Gov. Roy Cooper said.
15, 2018, from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at Lowndes Funer-

BULLDOGS RAGE in EASY WIN OVER CAJUNS

By Bret t Hudson
bhudson@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Nick Fitz-
gerald casually made his way
from midfield to his team, con-
gregating in the end zone for
the playing of the alma mater.
On the way he ran into quarter-
backs coach Andrew Breiner,
where he was stopped for a hug
and some words accompanied
with a smile.
Together they turned to the
swaying masses to the north
and joined the rhythm. Over
their heads beamed the results
of their work: 56 points and a
win. This week, no context was
needed.
No. 16 Mississippi State was
impressive enough in its win
over Kansas State last week,
but it came with the caveat of
Fitzgerald’s passing perfor-
mance: 40.7 completion per-
centage, 5.7 yards per attempt
and an interception. No such
qualifiers were needed Satur-
day after Fitzgerald completed
two-thirds of his passes, throw-
ing for 243 yards and two touch-
downs in the 56-10 win over
Louisiana-Lafayette.

offense humming. Page 8B
“Hopefully people will kind
of relax on the whole, ‘He can’t
pass,’ thing, we’ll see how that
goes,” Fitzgerald said through
his usual dry humor.
Before Fitzgerald could
prove that point to a skepti-
cal fan base, he had to put the
Ragin’ Cajuns (1-1) on the ropes
with his legs: the ones carrying
him to the top of MSU’s record
books.
The 81 rushing yards he
amassed by halftime were all
he needed to surpass Michael
Davis (1991-94) for fourth in
school history for career rush-
ing yards; his four touchdowns,
including when he ran for four
against Arkansas in 2016, make
him just the third such South-
eastern Conference player in
the last 20 years with multiple
such games.
His 2,752 career yards leave
him just 68 yards shy of third in
school history.
The 107 yards Saturday that
added to it all can be considered
a happy accident.
“I’d say it was flow,” MSU
head coach Joe Moorhead said.
“The design of the run-pass op-
tion is who gets the ball is based
on the defender we’re reading.
If they had done something else
it could have been handed off,
but in these instances, the read
told him to keep it.”

Tide routs outmanned Rebels Field goal decides SEC stunner

By David BranDt
The Associated Press
OXFORD — Top-ranked Alabama
faced a rare bit of adversity Saturday
night when Mississippi’s first offensive
play turned into a 75-yard touchdown
pass from Jordan Ta’amu to D.K. Met-
calf.
The angst lasted a grand total of 11
seconds.
Alabama wasn’t going to let one play
shake its confidence.
Unleashing a relentless onslaught
from that point forward, No. 1 Alabama
buried Ole Miss 62-7 in a Southeastern
Conference opener that quickly turned
into a blowout.
“We don’t dwell on plays like that,”
Alabama defensive back Xavier McK-
inney said. “When that (touchdown)
happened, we weren’t down about it.
We just kept going, kept playing and I
feel like we did a great job.”

AUBURN, Ala. — LSU coach Ed
Orgeron insisted he had no doubt Cole
Tracy would make the winning kick,
but setting it up was quite the adven-
ture.
Tracy kicked a 42-yard field goal on
the final play to give No. 12 LSU a 22-
21 victory over No. 7 Auburn on Satur-
day in their Southeastern Conference
opener.
Joe Burrow led LSU (3-0) down the
field in the final minutes with clutch
plays and two pass interference calls
against Auburn (2-1). That set up Tra-
cy’s field goal that was almost right
down the middle and sent LSU players
swarming onto the field to celebrate.
“There was no question in my mind
that he was going to make this field
goal,” Orgeron said. “It worked out
perfect.”
It capped a wild fourth quarter in
a rivalry that has produced many of
them.

Heritage Academy drops contest to Pillow for second straight setback

By Adam Minichino

Jared Long bent at the waist

to whisper into the ear hole of
Moak Griffin, who was seated
inches shy of the goal line.
Eli Acker gathered his
teammates for a post-game to
remind them that the last Her-
itage Academy football team to
win a state title had five losses.
Following Acker’s talk,
Long, Griffin, and Lex Rogers
took a knee around quarterback
Carter Putt, who was seated on
the turf at C.L. Mitchell Field.

EAGLES FLY HIGH WITH DRAMATIC WIN IN CFA
By DAVID MILLER
Special to The Dispatch
All of the motivating man-
tras football coaches use to
navigate 48 minutes of football
were in Victory Christian Acad-
emy coach Chris Hamm’s arse-
nal Friday night.
The Eagles, down by 10 late
in a shootout against Taberna-
cle Christian School, had just
given up a 70-yard touchdown
pass, their fifth play of 35 yards
or more conceded to that point.
But having a, “short mem-
ory,” and, “not quitting,” are
mentalities needed to overcome
adversity, and both messages
were delivered effectively to
the Eagles, who would force
and recover a pair of fumbles
on back-to-back drives and con-
vert a fourth-down for a score
to win 48-46.
“That’s why you don’t quit,”
Hamm said. “Last week (a 52-0

NFL: Week 2
Brees, Saints look for rebound against Browns
By BRET T MARTEL
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees is
in his 13th year playing for the Saints
— and it’s been about that long since
he’s beaten the Cleveland Browns.
Brees’ first game with New Orleans
was a victory at Cleveland in 2006. The
Browns have won the past two meet-
ings in 2010 and 2014.
“Man, they’ve been tough games
against these guys,” Brees recalled
this week as he prepared for his latest
clash with Cleveland on Sunday.
While the Saints (0-1) made the
playoffs last season, they’ve opened
the season with an upset loss at home
to Tampa Bay. Cleveland (0-0-1) comes
in with a marginally better record after
its opener against Pittsburgh finished
in a tie.
And Brees doesn’t want to hear
about how the Browns haven’t won a
game since 2016 — not after watching
Cleveland’s defense produce six Steel-
ers turnovers last weekend.
“You hate the fact they haven’t had
a win for a while, because you look at
their side of the ball and you’re like,
‘Man, that is a really good defense that
did a lot of good things,’” Brees said.
“Forget their record. Forget last
time they had a win. ... Whatever they
throw at us, we have to have a plan for,
we have to be ready for — do all the
things that equate to winning football.”
If Cleveland were to end a long win-
less streak in the Superdome on Sun-
day, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Auto Racing
Jones grabs pole for first playoff race
LAS VEGAS — Erik Jones surprised the field by winning the pole
Friday for the opening race of the NASCAR Cup series playoffs, turning
a lap in 28.705 seconds and narrowly edging Joey Logano.
Jones opened the first weekend of NASCAR’s 10-race postseason
by earning his second career pole in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. The
22-year-old is the youngest driver ever to win the pole at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway.
“You can’t start them off any better than that,” Jones said. “We’ve
got a long way to go this weekend, but we’ve got the speed to do it.
... Was it maybe unexpected to outsiders, or people that aren’t in our
group? Probably, but we’ve been consistently setting the bar high. For
us, it was not a big surprise to be quick.”
Logano did his lap in 28.708 seconds in his Team Penske Ford to
take a front-row spot. Denny Hamlin was third, followed by Kyle Busch
and Kevin Harvick.
The Vegas race is the first of 10 playoff contests to crown a cham-
pion. Jones is in the 16-driver playoff field for the first time, joining Alex
Bowman as the debut playoff contenders for the title.
Jones had just one previous pole in his first 65 Cup races, but the
youngster is quietly making progress. He earned his first career victory
at Daytona in July by holding off Martin Truex Jr. in overtime, and he has
six top-10 finishes in eight races since that breakthrough.
“We struggled at the start (of the season),” Jones said. “Around
Daytona, I started to find the feel I was looking for, and we just refined
that day by day, week by week.”
Jones knows he isn’t a favorite to earn a spot among the final four
contenders for the title alongside presumptive frontrunners Kyle Busch,
Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr., but he hopes to ride his momentum
as far as it will go.
“I would say there’s probably a few dark horses” for the title, Jones
said. “I don’t think we’re the only ones. The Big Three are obviously the
favorites to get to (the final race in) Homestead, but somebody has got
to fill that other spot.”
Logano’s result also was a pleasant development for a driver with
a playoff spot despite earning just one victory this season. Logano
laughed when asked if his strong showing in qualifying, combined with
Brad Keselowski’s back-to-back wins heading into Vegas, meant that
Team Penske had made a breakthrough in the garage in recent weeks.
“If they did, they didn’t tell me,” Logano said. “I think you’re
constantly trying to find stuff. You’re constantly trying to catch up. We’ve
been playing catch-up for the last year, two years. It’s nice to finally find
a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m cautious about what it can be, but it’s
a good start.”
n Raikkonen not returning to race team: At Singapore, Ferrari’s
decision not to keep Kimi Raikkonen next season was based on the
team’s long-term future rather than the driver’s current form.
The 38-year-old Raikkonen, the 2007 Formula One champion, is
being replaced next season by 20-year-old Charles Leclerc.
Leclerc came through the Ferrari academy program but is racing in
his first F1 season with the Sauber team. Raikkonen has 20 grand prix
wins among his 100 career podiums.
“It’s very important to look at the team perspective, in two or three
years. In my opinion that justifies our choice enough,” Ferrari team
principal Maurizio Arrivabene said Friday.
“It’s not a decision looking at the (current) situation or only next
year. My job is to look at the future of the team. ... How you’re going to
grow a young talent and what you’re going to expect from him in the
future.”
Raikkonen will replace Leclerc at Sauber next year.
NBA
Prosecutors reviewing allegations against Harden
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Prosecutors are reviewing allegations that
Houston Rockets star James Harden took a woman’s cellphone outside
a Scottsdale nightclub last month.
Police told The Arizona Republic that a city prosecutor is looking at
their investigation.
The 42-year-old woman reported that she was recording a fight
Aug. 11 when Harden grabbed her by the wrist.
She says he then grabbed her cellphone and threw it onto the roof.
According to the police report, Harden and someone in his entou-
rage gave her $500 to pay for a replacement.
The woman was treated at a hospital for a wrist injury.
n Police officer out in Milwaukee: At Milwaukee, a Milwaukee
officer involved in the stun gun arrest of Bucks’ player Sterling Brown
has been fired because of social media posts mocking the incident, the
city’s police chief said Thursday.
Police Chief Alfonso Morales said the firing decision was not tied
to anything Erik Andrade did when Brown was arrested, but explained
that the social media posts compromised the officer’s ability to testify in
other cases. Morales spoke about the case at a Marquette University
event.
Brown sued the police department in June and accused officers of
using excessive force and targeting him because he’s black. A group of
officers swarmed on him at a Walgreens parking lot because he didn’t
immediately remove his hands from his pockets. Brown was standing
with the officers waiting for a citation for parking in a disabled spot early
on Jan. 26, but never appeared to threaten police before or during his
arrest, according to police body camera videos.
Andrade later mocked Brown on Facebook for his arrest..
Tennis
Williams moves on from tennis loss
LAS VEGAS — Tennis star Serena Williams talked about her fash-
ion business, not tennis fouls during an appearance before a business
convention in Las Vegas.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion said not a word Friday about
gender equality in sports or an argument she had last weekend with the
chair umpire at her U.S. Open finals match in New York.
Williams said previously she was treated more harshly than a male
player would have been after smashing her racket and arguing with
match official Carlos Ramos during her finals loss to Naomi Osaka in
New York.
She received three code violations and was penalized one game.
She was later fined $17,000.
Williams spent 25 minutes talking onstage with Sarah Robb
O’Hagan, chief executive of Flywheel Sports, at the National Retail
Federation trade show.
n Maligned official back at work: At Zadar, Croatia, the chair
umpire who penalized Serena Williams in the U.S. Open final is back
at work.
Carlos Ramos is working the best-of-five Davis Cup semifinal
series between Croatia and the United States.
“I’m just focusing on this tie and working again. That’s all I can say,”
Ramos told The Associated Press on Friday.
Ramos officiated the second singles match between Marin Cilic
and Frances Tiafoe, which was completed without incident.
Ramos calmed the raucous crowd on several occasions and came
down from his chair to check a few ball marks in the clay but otherwise
had no impact on the match, which Cilic won in straight sets to give
Croatia a 2-0 lead.
n France advances to Davis Cup final: At Lillie, France, doubles
pair Julien Benneteau and Nicolas Mahut gave France an unassailable
3-0 lead over Spain in their Davis Cup semifinal on Saturday as the
defending champions reached back-to-back finals for the first time
since 2002.
The French veterans, both aged 36, defeated Marcel Granollers
and Feliciano Lopez 6-0, 6-4, 7-6 (7) on the indoor hard court set up
inside the Pierre Mauroy soccer stadium.
France, which won both singles matches Friday, will either face
Croatia or the United States in the final.
Spain was without top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who was ruled out
because of the right-knee injury that forced him to retire from his U.S.
Open semifinal against Juan Martin del Potro last week.
Benneteau and Mahut were expected to play in doubles in last
year’s final against Belgium, but Yannick Noah decided at the last min-
ute to field Richard Gasquet and Pierre Hugues Herbert. Their captain’s
decision left them frustrated and Benneteau later said being left out was
the hardest moment of his career.
This weekend the pair got another chance after Herbert was
ruled out through injury and they did not disappoint Noah, who gave a
selection to Benneteau after he announced his retirement during the
U.S. Open.
“I’m so happy, what a wonderful gift they’ve made to me, it’s
unbelievable,” said Noah, who will be replaced by Amelie Mauresmo
as France’s captain after the final. “They played really well, it’s the best
match I’ve seen since I took over.”
Benneteau and Mahut got off to a flying start, losing only four
points in the 18-minute opening set. The Spanish pair of Granollers and
Lopez looked out of sorts in the early stages but finally managed to hold
a service game at the start of the second, winning as many points in the
opening game as they had in the entire first set.
The French pair dominated in every sector and broke again in the
third game after Lopez failed to return the ball and was hit in the face
instead.
In the third set, Mahut was broken at love in the second game as
the Spanish pair won eight consecutive points to lead 2-0.
The French broke back in the seventh game following a series of
aggressive returns from Benneteau. Mahut gained a break point with a
forehand pass and Benneteau converted it with a forehand return which
left the Spanish pair stranded.

PREP FOOTBALL

Ramsey, Falcons make strides on offense; first win still elusive

Editor’s Note: Complete sta-
tistics from the Columbus-Vicks-
burg game will appear in Mon-
day’s Dispatch.
By Scot t Walters

VICKSBURG — When Co-
lumbus High School senior
running back Derrick Jordan
was escorted by his coaches
to the sidelines, the first play-
er to offer encouragement to
the wounded Falcon was junior
teammate Devarkas Ramsey.
“I told him I was going to
go out and get him two touch-
downs, turns out I needed to
have done a little bit more,”
Ramsey said.
Ramsey ran for 150 yards
and a pair of touchdowns but it
was not enough as Columbus
dropped a 45-28 decision to
Vicksburg in prep football ac-
tion Friday night at Vicksburg
Memorial Stadium.
Jordan suffered an apparent
ankle injury on the team’s first
possession. He was unable to
put any pressure on his right
leg as a pair of coaches helped
him to the sidelines.
Suddenly, Ramsey was a ma-
jor component for the offensive
game plan.
“Not only is Derrick a great
running back but he is a senior
and he is a leader,” Columbus
coach Eric Rice said. “Replac-
ing him as a player is one thing.
Replacing him as a leader is
another. It proved a challenge.
However, we have been dealing
with adversity all season.”
Ramsey received his fair
share of carries as a sopho-
more. This season, the new Co-
lumbus coaching staff has used
him primarily on defense. He is
growing into the mike lineback-
er position.
Friday night, Ramsey be-
came the latest two-way Falcon.
“Playing running back is my
first love and always has been,”
Ramsey said. “Some things
have changed this season. I
don’t mind playing defense. It’s
where I can help the team. How-
ever, if I am true to my heart, I
like carrying the football. So
in this game when Derrick
went down, you don’t want your
teammates to get down. You
want to go out there and prove
your worth and hopefully give
everybody a lift.”
Ramsey did just that.
Columbus (0-4) had scored
four touchdowns in its first
three games. Those games
came against three teams
ranked in the state’s Top 10.
Friday was a far different
situation. The Falcons could
match the Gators virtually man
for man. With the exception of
one man that is.
Vicksburg senior Tyrese
Wolfe had three touchdowns.
His worksheet included a 87-
yard kickoff return for a touch-
down, as well as interception
return touchdowns of 45 and 75
yards.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: No. 16 Mississippi State 56, Louisiana-Lafayette 10

Williams joins offensive fray as 3-0 Bulldogs blow past Cajuns

By Bret t Hudson
bhudson@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Joe
Moorhead is a fan of Ae-
ris Williams. It’s easy for
Mississippi State’s foot-
ball coach to see the skill-
set that produced a 1,000-
yard season last year.
He was thrilled to see
that skillset put back to
use.
The West Point native
MSU running back was
held out of last week’s
game against Kansas
State, but after a week
of earning playing time
back, he went off for 101
yards and a touchdown on
11 carries. He was MSU’s
most-used running back
— a departure from the
Kylin Hill show of the first
two weeks — in the No. 16
Bulldogs’ 56-10 win over
Louisiana-Lafayette.
“I was very excited for
him. He came back and
had a very good week of
practice, did all the things
right from an account-
ability standpoint and
off-the-field, had a very
good week of practice and
earned his carries,” Moor-
head said. “It’s something
we’ve talked about since
the beginning of presea-
son and spring practice:
individual response to
prosperity and adversity.
Aeris was hit with a little
last week, challenged him
to respond the right way
and he did.”
The change in Wil-
liams from last week to
this week spawned in
a conversation he and
Moorhead had after the
Kansas State game. Wil-
liams said the two, “just
had a good conversation,
talking about ball.” Moor-
head made it a point to
let him know what the
program’s expectations
of him were, particularly
as a senior. He knew Wil-
liams had good practice
habits and trusted the is-
sues from last week would
subside.
He was clearly back to
normal in time for Satur-
day.

UL Lafayette paid for those openings:
Fitzgerald scored twice in the first quar-
ter to build an early lead then again in
the final five minutes of the half, sending
the game on the brink of an early con-
clusion.
Then Fitzgerald got to display his
arm.
Those opportunities came early —
Fitzgerald completed four passes of at
least 20 yards in the game’s first 20 min-
utes — but the statement came in the
final two minutes of the half. A 30-point
halftime advantage was there for the
Bulldogs’ (3-0) taking if they could score
a touchdown; with 18 seconds left to
spare, Fitzgerald lofted one 39 yards to
Stephen Guidry down the left side, who
ran under a perfectly-placed ball as he

ald used one for his longest completion
of the night, 44 yards to Deddrick Thom-
as. Beyond that, the only change was set-
tling into a sustainable routine.
“Before the game last week, on
Thursday, I wasn’t really on my throws, I
didn’t have a great day passing the ball,”
Fitzgerald said. “That kind of trickled
over into Friday and trickled over into
Saturday.
“All week, I was hitting passes, left
and right, putting the ball wherever it
needed to go. That just built on itself all
the way through the week, had a great
Thursday, great Friday and I felt com-
fortable back there.”
This, he believes, is the Fitzgerald of
the weeks to come. A version of himself

An offense looking for more found
what it needed in changing nothing.
“To be honest, there wasn’t a tremen-
dous amount of variation from what we
normally do,” Moorhead said. “I was
confident Nick knocking the rust off
in his first start in our system, he was
going to improve in Game Two. Nick
took all the corrections from the week,
worked in practice to make those and he
got better.”
Fitzgerald added the game plan from
that completes 66 percent of his passes
and still averages 11.5 yards per attempt,
17.3 per completion. A version that
throws two touchdowns without being
intercepted.
While the referendum on his future
was happening around him, Fitzgerald
rid himself of the conversation by refus-
ing to acknowledge it.
“I’ve made those throws in practice,
but it was nice to go out in a game situ-
ation and do it for everyone to see,” he
said.

Alabama (3-0) had 516
total yards and was so ef-

way through the second
quarter.
The left-handed soph-
omore completed 11 of 15

two touchdowns and one

had no complaints about
how his team handled its
first road game in a hos-
tile environment.
“I’m going to have to
give us a good grade in all
those areas,” Saban said.
“I was pleased.”
Ole Miss (2-1) suffered
through a second straight
blowout loss to the Crim-

66-3 last year in Tuscalo-
osa.
Jordan Ta’amu com-
pleted just 7 of 22 passes

“We were able to make
some plays, but it’s hard

‘ This place matters ’

Chris Jenkins/Special to The Dispatch

Kathy Novotny is pictured in front of the small structure that stands behind her antebellum home, Temple Heights, on Ninth Street North in Columbus
Wednesday. Dr. Mark and Kathy Novotny purchased the circa 1837 four-story Temple Heights in 2016 and are now leading a major rehabilitation of the
smaller house that once served as slave quarters.

A piece of history is getting a major makeover

“ atch it here,” cautioned Kathy Novotny,
taking a sizable step up into the small
wooden structure. Inside the dim exte-
rior, beams thought to be more than 180 years old
crossed the low ceiling typical in many buildings
of the 1800s. Almost two centuries later, this one
is undergoing extensive rehabilitation.
“This place matters,” said Novotny, with a pas-
sion that drives the considerable work going into
saving what was once slave quarters at Temple
Heights on Ninth Street North in Columbus. It
stands behind the circa 1837 four-story antebel-
lum home built by Richard T. Brownrigg, who
came to Columbus from Edenten, North Caro-
lina. The little outbuilding is far less grand, but
it is historic. References indicate it predates the
main house by one to two years.
Dr. Mark and Kathy Novotny purchased
Temple Heights, a Columbus Pilgrimage Tour
home, in 2016. To them, preserving the smaller
structure is important, just as it was to previous
owner Dixie Butler and her late husband, Carl
Butler. They acquired Temple Heights in late
1967; it was in great need of renovation. At any
point in the half-century since then, it might have
seemed simpler to demolish the quarters in the
back. But the Butlers, and then the Novotnys, felt
otherwise.

Texas fans of ‘Last Chance U’ meet at EMCC game

L
ongview, Texas resident
Randall Latch, his wife,
Jaye, and the couple’s
daughter, Christine, drove six
hours from their hometown to
Scooba on Aug. 30 to watch the
East Mississippi Community
College football team take on

in the season opener at Sulli-

Unbeknownst to the Latch
family, another couple from
Longview also attended the
game. Dr. George Shankle,

changed before the game was

n its fifth consecu-
tive year of historic
growth, Mississippi
State celebrates its 140-
year anniversary by accel-
erating student enroll-
ment well over the 22,000
mark, an attainment
that’s been a top priority
for MSU President Mark
E. Keenum.
With this fall’s arriv-
al of 22,201 students,
Mississippi’s leading
research university is
seeing 318 more enroll
than last year’s 21,883,
while also growing diver-
sity of the student body to
more than a quarter — 27
percent — of MSU’s de-
gree-seeking population.
A record number of new
transfer students also is
contributing to the uni-
versity’s unprecedented
enrollment, and first-time
freshman numbers are up
from fall 2017.
The exceptional
growth, Keenum said,
can be attributed to the
university’s expansion of
student opportunities and
offerings, spearheaded
by the “outstanding facul-
ty and staff who truly are

“We’re providing a
signature educational
experience that extends

that far-reaching goals
are attainable and then
positioning these stu-
dents for long-term
success. No matter where
students begin their
journeys with Mississippi
State, they have countless
possibilities to learn, lead
and grow.” he said.
The surge in fall num-
bers includes:
n Record new transfer
students (2,142 up from
2,062)
n More first-time
freshmen (3,599 up from
3,438)

and scholarship options

College are at the heart
of the increase. Also,
engagement in abundant

are contributing to the
considerable boost.

In the garden with Felder

Thought of cold weather

signals it’s salad time
T
oo bad
my
tummy
doesn’t have
eyes to better
appreciate the
colorful good-
ies I’m about
to send its way
right out of my
little container
garden.
Unlike Felder Rushing
our northern
friends who are
already hunkering down for winter, this
time of year savvy Deep South garden-
ers start growing cool-weather veggies,
several of which are beautiful, nutritious
and frost- or even freeze-proof.
And truth is, not much that’s good to
eat is easier or faster than colorful let-
tuces and other healthful salad greens.
They grow so fast from seed they can be
harvested before anything can happen
to them because there are fewer bugs
in the winter, and less watering and
weeding needed. And no need to worry
whether whoever picked it washed their
hands, if you do it yourself.
In addition to growing lettuces from
seed I always set out few small trans-
plants of broccoli and cabbage, colorful
Swiss chard, brilliant green parsley. and
a few super cold-hard kales — especial-
ly the blue-green one named lacinata,
often called dinosaur or “Tuscan Blue”
kale. It is one of the tastiest, nutri-
ent-dense vegetables and can tolerate
down to nearly zero degrees.
These biggish plants are mixed to-
gether by botanic garden horticulturists
in winter flower beds and big pots, often
lording it over smaller pansies, snap-
dragons and other cold weather flowers.
Coolest thing is, when you’re tired of
looking at them you eat ’em; just break
off the lower leaves and recipe them up.
I’ve planted lettuces, kale, parsley,
pansies and multiplying onions in an
old cook pot with holes drilled in the
bottom. Lettuce actually gets sweeter
after mild frosts, but won’t take the hard
freezes like kale and Swiss chard. When
temps dip into the lower 20s I just drag
the pot indoors ’til it warms up a bit.
So, other than protection from hard
freezes, main things potted greens
need are sunlight, watering in sunny,
windy weather and an occasional shot of
fertilizer. I usually use a small amount
of slow-release fertilizer beads or a
half strength shot of liquid fertilizer,
because, good intentions aside, organic
fertilizers don’t work as well in cold
soils as they do in warm summertime
dirt.
Felder Rushing/Courtesy photo
It’s time for Southern gardeners to get
started with planting cool-weather veg-
gies and salads ready-to-eat.
Back to lettuces, the easiest of all.
I can get an edible crop in just three
weeks from seed, and cut it two or three
times before it peters out. Rather than
plant a lot at one time I spread my plant-
ing out in succession crops, starting
a new crop every couple of weeks for
nonstop homegrown goodness.
The trick is to get a small wide pot or
two, not too deep because these veggies
have really shallow roots, fill it with de-
cent potting soil, and sow a mere pinch
of seeds over the surface.
Within a few days the little plants will
sprout, and after just a couple of weeks
you can thin out and eat the cluttered
stuff, and what’s left will fill out quickly
to be cut once or twice. By starting a
new pot or two every couple of weeks,
you can have a constant supply of
healthy, vitamin-rich eating.
For a pretty mesclun blend, throw to-
gether seeds of three or sometimes four
different lettuce varieties, including
both light and dark green frilly and flat
leaves, and something red. A tiny pinch
of this mix sprinkled every few inches
will sprout into ready-to-cut salads.
Homegrown salads are easy and pret-
ty both in the garden and on the table,
even for kids and folks who only have a
tiny slice of winter sunshine on a patio
or porch.
Won’t happen without getting start-
ed. And it’s time.

Mississippi Writers Trail unveils first marker, honors Eudora Welty
MDA PUBLIC RELATIONS
JACKSON —
T
he Mississippi
Writers Trail
begins with the
dedication of the inau-
gural marker honoring
Eudora Welty outside her
former home in Jackson
Monday.
“An international trea-
sure in the literary world,
Eudora Welty’s works
stand the test of time, in-
fluencing generations of
writers and sharing Mis-
sissippi with the world,”
said Visit Mississippi
Director Craig Ray. “This
trail celebrates the legacy
and historical contribu-
tion of Mississippi’s most
acclaimed writers.”
Born in 1909 in
Jackson, Welty lived in
the capital city for the
majority of her life. An
award-winning author of
short stories and novels,
Welty was the recipient
of the Presidential Medal
of Freedom, the French
Legion of Honor and,
most notably, the Pulitzer
Prize for Fiction for her
novel “The Optimist’s
Daughter.” She also was
chosen as the first living
writer to be published in

“I’m delighted the
Novotnys are working
on the house. I think it’s
wonderful,” said Butler.
Major work underway
is guided in part by the
expertise of architect Be-
linda Stewart of Eupora.
Her firm, Belinda Stewart
Architects, PA, specialize
in historic preservation
and in rehabilitation.
“That sometimes in-
volves some changes, but
always using the original
character while also
bringing updates so it can
be used for current func-
tions,” Stewart explained.
“With Pilgrimage, we
want this outbuilding to
be able to tell its story, so
you don’t want to change
it too much.”
Novotny said, “The
house has been many
things, and now it’s des-
tined to be a place where
people who are research-

guests can come for a
ballgame, whatever it
needs to be — which is
what it’s been through
history. We’re going to
adjust for our modern
lifestyle, and we’re going
to keep the footprint of
the house as close to the
original as we can.”
The biggest challenge
has been seeing what’s
there, Stewart said, deter-
mining the original bones
of the structure and con-
dition of all its elements.
Already substantial work
has been done to the
foundation. Siding has
been removed in order to
evaluate original details.
“We’re looking for

said.

“The Wide Net,” “Delta

Welty also received rec-
ognition for her photog-
raphy focusing on life in
rural Mississippi during
the Great Depression.
The Eudora Welty

at the author’s home and

architecture was inspired
early by an interest in his-
tory. “And probably even
moreso by my interest in
stories,” she said. “I re-
alized that buildings and
places are the tangible
things that reflect them.
It’s really important when
we do a project to help
pull those stories out. You
can’t really separate a
building from its stories.
You can celebrate both.”
Henderson is gratified
to know work is under-
way on a place so con-
nected to his ancestor’s
past. He acknowledged
current controversies
that have led to acts such
as removal of Confeder-
ate statues.
“I don’t think that we
gain anything by trying
to deny and destroy
history,” he said. Instead,
he sees more benefit in
developing a balanced
view from all sides.
“I hope we will con-
tinue to see the value in
making sure the entire
story is told, so that we
can have a perspective
that would lead us to un-
derstand that things were
not as good as they could
have been, and that, in
some cases, were not
as bad as some say they
were. ... I’m very pleased
that the owners at Temple
Heights are going out
of their way to preserve
history.”

Southern Gardening

Pumpkins, squash and gourds, oh my!

I
came to a shock-
ing realization
this past week-
end: Even though
it still feels like
summer, the signs
are all around us
that fall is about to
begin.
First, we see the
tropics heating up
with storm activity.
T.S. Gordon made Gary Bachman
landfall in Pasca-
goula Sept. 5 and spread rain

sissippi. Behind it are several
more tropical storms that we
will have to keep an eye on.

the ads that pumpkin patches
all around Mississippi are
opening in the next couple of
weeks. In fact, we’re going to
be producing a new Southern
Gardening TV segment in a
pumpkin patch this week.

One of great controversies
of the fall season — OK, maybe zucchini and summer crook-
moderately debated is a better

between a pumpkin, a squash
and a gourd?
Common thoughts include
the simple distinctions that
pumpkins are and acorn squash.

driving force behind the
trend for stores that are
popping up around the
country from Los Ange-
les to Philadelphia.
A 2018 report from
EuroMonitor says
convenience stores are
changing their image
to appeal to a more
health-conscious gen-
eration, stocking up on
gluten-free, grass-fed
and organic products.
While “portability and
grab-and-go convenience
that has been anything
but health-conscious
in the past,” the report
says.
At least 200 stores fall
into this category in the
United States, said Jeff
Lenard, a vice president
with Advancing Conve-
nience & Fuel Retailing.
And while that’s still a
small segment of the
154,000 convenience
stores in the U.S., he
said it’s likely to grow.

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: My
daughter has
decided to leave
her husband. They have
been married for 20
years. She says she
hasn’t been happy for
several years and that
it’s time to take care of
herself. She won’t be
able to support herself
and the children, but
she doesn’t seem able
to grasp that reality.
When I voice my con-
cerns, she gets angry
with me. She’s deter-
mined to go forward
with this separation and says her
kids will be “fine.” I say that’s bull!
She has also embraced an exercise
and eating plan that seems radical to
me and has a life coach do? — SHAKEN UP IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: A dear friend and friend were performing a good deed

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
16). Your cosmic gift: laser
focus. Carefully choose where
to apply it. Once you name
a goal, you won’t quit until
it’s finished. More highlights:
an upgrade to the way you
travel this world, a private
audience with someone you’ve
wanted to talk to for years and
mastery of a situation that
was once beyond your control.
Taurus and Scorpio adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40,
21, 5 and 16.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). You need attention as
much as the next person, yet
you also know the value of
serving others. The purpose
outside of yourself helps you
get clarity on life.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). The love and support
shows up. Maybe it’s a little
on the late side. You’ve need-
ed this for a while now, though
maybe you didn’t realize it.
Anyway, it’s here now, so relax
and be cared for.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’ll be invited to share your
thoughts and ideas. Remem-
ber that it took you some time
to work them out, so though
they make perfect sense to
you now, others will need to
get caught up before they
understand.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). It’s as true now as it was
when you were a small child:
You can be anyone you want
to be. You’ll think of those you
admire and wonder what they
would do given the same situa-
tion, and this will influence
your next action.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have enough of life figured out
to know there’s nothing to be
gained by assuming you know
everything. Your audience will
be flattered by your curiosity,
which happens to be genuine
and is the reason you’ll learn
so much today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
“I can’t complain” is what peo-
ple say when they are either
too fortunate or too polite to
complain, and it’s a very good
policy. Once complaining is
off the table, the conversation
gets much more productive.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’d like to have a bit more
swagger — some confidence
to spare, even when you feel
uncertain about what you’re
doing. You’ll come by it honest
later, but for now, step into the
role until you become it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). It’s the same people in
the same places, but you’ll
see them differently today be-
cause you’re different. You’re
also more perceptive, so you’ll
notice what you haven’t picked
up on before.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). You are generous
but not foolish, merciful but
protective of your own, fair but
not inclined to take the word
of someone who has spoken
falsely to you in the past.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There is one person you
have counted on in the past
who will continue to be the
best place to put your trust.
Loyalty will be key in the way
things play out over the next
five days.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Stars grant you a high
degree of self-awareness. If
you let it, this could teeter into
self-absorption. Don’t worry
too much about that. It’s a
necessary part of figuring out
what you need to make the
new circumstances work.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Events occurring over the
next three days will impact
your destiny in a good and
unexpected way. Squash out
the opposition, which is not
another person; rather, it’s a
behavior of yours — a habit
that’s been keeping you back.
