Absentee totals indicate strong runoff turnout

U.S. Senate race, two chancery judge races on ballot
By Slim Smith
ssmith@cdispatch.com
Despite an abbreviated win-
dow for absentee voting for
Tuesday’s general election run-
off, the number of absentee vot-
ers who have cast ballots sug-
gests a good turnout.
Today, circuit clerk offices
will collect the last of the mail-
in absentee ballots. But as of
this morning, 630 residents in
Lowndes County and 760 in
Oktibbeha County had voted
absentee.
The race is headlined by
a statewide runoff for a U.S.
Senate seat, as well as two lo-
cal runoffs for chancery court
judgeships.
While the absentee vote to-
tals won’t come close to match-
ing the number of absentee bal-
lots cast on Nov. 6 (more than
2,300 in the two counties), elec-
tion officials say those absentee
numbers are strong, consider-
ing the compressed time period
of absentee voting.
“The numbers blow it out of
the water,” said Sheryl Elmore,
deputy election clerk in Oktib-
beha County. “That’s a really,
really, high number for a run-
off. Saturday, we had people
lined up out the door to vote
absentee. I had never seen that
before.”
According to the Mississippi
Espy Hyde-Smith
Secretary of State’s office, more
than 43,000 voters requested
an absentee ballot for the runoff
statewide.
Absentee ballots were first
available in Lowndes Coun-
ty on Nov. 9 and in Oktibbeha
County on Nov. 12. Voters could
vote absentee at circuit clerk of-
fices until noon Saturday, but
with the Thanksgiving holi-
day, those offices were closed
Thursday and Friday.
All things considered, the
number of absentee ballots that
were cast set the stage for a
good turnout Tuesday.
That’s what happened with
the Nov. 6 election where strong
absentee voting was followed by
turnouts near 50 percent or more
throughout the Golden Triangle.

BACK TO CLASS Lawmaker:

Mississippi
should
lift voting
burdens
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS,
The Associated Press

JACKSON — A
Mississippi state
senator says he
wants to find ways
to remove burdens
from the state’s
voting process, par-
ticularly for people
who cast absentee Blount
ballots.
Democrat David Blount of Jack-
son is vice chairman of the Senate
Elections Committee. He says he
intends to propose changes during
the 2019 legislative session, which
begins in January.
The record of the past several
years, though, shows that legis-
lators are generally reluctant to
change Mississippi’s voting laws.
Blount said in a recent inter-
view that the current round of
runoff elections brings attention
to the challenges of absentee vot-
ing. The general election was Nov.
6, and runoffs for one U.S. Senate
seat, some judicial posts and two

Counties bidding for emergency bridge repair funding
MDOT administering $250
million program
By Alex Holloway
aholloway@cdispatch.com
Area counties are preparing to com-
pete with others from across the state
for money from a $250 million state allo-
cation for bridge and road repairs.
Oktibbeha County supervisors have
identified 10 bridges for which to request
funding from the Mississippi Depart-
ment of Transportation’s Emergency
Road and Bridge Repair program. Those
bridges are on Old West Point Road,
Longview-Adaton Road, Sturgis-West
Point Road, Crawford Road, Silver Ridge
Road, Morgantown Road, Sherman
Road, Harris Road and two
on Sun Creek Road.
County Engineer Clyde
Pritchard said all of the
county’s bridges are in-
spected every two years,
with half inspected one
year and the other half in-
Pritchard
spected the next. Bridges
that reach a certain deficiency level are
posted and have their weight limits re-
duced, while some bridges are so defi-
cient they are closed.
He estimated it would take more than
$11 million to repair all of the county’s
closed and posted bridges.
The county prioritized the bridges for
which it will ask for state funding based
on the bridge status, the inspection rat-
ing, the amount of traffic that crosses
the bridge and the expected likelihood
of the project being funded, Pritchard
said.
“Generally the worst bridges are the
ones that, historically, had timber pil-
ing, and the timbers have rotted out, so
we have to go in and replace the piling,”
he said. “Our standard repair is we’ll
remove the deck from the bridge, we’ll
drive new steel piling, pour a new con-
crete cap and we’ll replace the deck.”
County supervisors have also ap-
proved advertising for bids for work
on the county’s two closed bridges, on
Self Creek Road and Mt. Olive Road.
Pritchard said those bridges are estimat-
ed to cost about $60,000 each to repair.

cation was for an absentee ballot
for the general election. The sec-
ond was for an absentee ballot for
the runoff.
“We should also allow for one
application to cover both the first
election and the runoff,” Blount
said.
Absentee ballot applications
and absentee ballots that are re-
turned by mail both have to be
stamped by a notary public. Find-
ing a notary can be difficult, and in
some places, there is a fee to have
a document notarized. Blount said
this step is burdensome.
“The notary requirement needs
to be eliminated,” he said.
Many states allow early voting.
Mississippi allows it only for spe-
cific reasons , such as if a voter will
be out of his or her home county

in the final weeks of the cam- cans pad their slim majority.
Hyde-Smith’s support of
Trump is unmistakable. She
used both her opening and clos-
ing statements of the only de-
bate of the runoff campaign to
promote Monday’s presidential
rallies, citing the online address
to get tickets. Even on trade
and tariffs, where Trump’s de-
cisions could hurt Mississippi
farmers, Hyde-Smith praised
the president.
“I have met with the presi-
dent, and I proudly support him
in negotiating these trades,”
she said. “All the Mississippi
farmers want is a fair deal, and
I’m excited that the president
has stepped up to renegotiate
these deals.”
Hyde-Smith and Trump are
set to appear together at a late
Monday afternoon event in the
northeastern city of Tupelo,
best known as the birthplace of
Elvis Presley. Then, they fly to
the Gulf Coast for a larger eve-
ning rally in Biloxi.
Democrats also have used
some star power. Former Vice
President Joe Biden has en-
dorsed Espy, and three Dem-
ocrats who could run for pres-
ident in 2020 — Sens. Kamala
Harris of California and Cory
Booker of New Jersey and for-
mer Massachusetts Gov. Deval
Patrick — have been to Missis-
sippi to campaign for the for-
mer congressman who served
as agriculture secretary in 1993
and 1994 under Democratic
President Bill Clinton.
For Espy, turnout is key. He
has to close the gap in a state
where Trump received 58 per-
cent in 2016 and that hasn’t
elected a Democrat to the U.S.
Senate since 1982.
About a third of Mississippi
voters were African-American
in the four-way race on Elec-
tion Day, and Espy won support
from about 80 percent of them,
compared to about 20 percent of
white voters, according to Vo-
teCast, a wide-ranging survey
of the electorate conducted by
The Associated Press.
If Espy’s campaign can boost
African-American turnout to 40
percent and he can win 9 out
of 10 of their votes, he would
only need less than a quarter of
white votes to secure a victory.
Espy hasn’t hammered
Hyde-Smith on Trump at every
turn. His campaign has focused
more on issues such as social
justice, health care and raising
wages.
“My approach is Mississippi
first,” Espy said at last week’s
debate. “That means that Mis-
sissippi over party, Mississippi
over person — I don’t care how
powerful that person might be.”
Espy also has carefully
picked his time to talk about
race. He does remind voters
while Hyde-Smith was in a
white academy, he and his twin
sister were being called racial
slurs while integrating Yazoo
City High School in 1969.
Hyde-Smith has apologized
to “anyone that was offended”
by the hanging comment, say-
ing she meant no ill will. She
and her campaign have refused
to talk about the Confederate
hat and have called the school
issue a personal attack on her
family meant to draw attention
away from issues.
Walmart asked Hyde-Smith
to return a $2,000 campaign
contribution because of the
hanging remark.

Conservative vs.
moderate in Mississippi
Senate election
MERIDIAN — Mis-
sissippi’s two U.S. Sen-
ate candidates rallied
supporters around their
themes of conservatism
and moderation Sunday as
they entered the closing
days of their campaigns.
The last two years of
the Senate term begun
by the now-retired Thad
Cochran hangs in the
balance Tuesday as vot-
ers decide between Re-
publican U.S. Sen. Cindy
Hyde-Smith and Demo-
crat Mike Espy, a former
U.S. secretary of agricul-
ture seeking to become
Mississippi’s first black
senator since Reconstruc-
tion. It’s the last U.S. Sen-
ate race to be decided in
2018 and will determine
whether Republicans add
to their slim majority.
Supported by Iowa Re-
publican U.S. Sen. Joni
Ernst, Hyde-Smith spoke
to Republican stalwarts at
a Meridian museum Sun-
day afternoon.
“It’s not just my name
on the ballot, it’s our con-

Hyde-Smith told sever-
al dozen supporters. “I

Voting

on election day. Any voter
65 or older may also go to
a circuit clerk’s office to
cast an in-person ballot
before Election Day.
In 2017, the Missis-
sippi House passed a bill
that would have allowed
no-excuses, in-person
early voting at a circuit
clerk’s office starting 14
days before an election.
That bill died in the Sen-
ate Elections Committee
after Chairwoman Sally
Doty, a Republican from
Brookhaven, noted that
Mississippi already has
five categories of people
who can vote absentee.
“I think we have ample
opportunity for people to
vote,” Doty said then.
Blount advocates an
expansion of early voting.
“For people who vote
in person, we should have
early voting and we ought
to consider ranked-choice
voting,” Blount said.
In a race with multiple
candidates, ranked choice
allows a voter to show
which candidate is his or
her first, second, third or
subsequent preference.
Since 2014, Mississippi
has used ranked-choice
voting for overseas and
military voters for federal
runoff elections because
of the tight timetable in
receiving and returning
an absentee ballot for the
runoffs.
FairVote, a nonpar-
tisan electoral reforms
group based in Maryland,
says ranked-choice voting
“makes democracy more
fair and functional,” but
critics say the system can
be confusing.
“With ranked choice
voting, voters can rank as
many candidates as they
want in order of choice,”
FairVote says on its web-
site . “Candidates do best
when they attract a strong
core of first-choice sup-
port while also reaching
out for second and even
third choices. When used
as an ‘instant runoff’ to
elect a single candidate
like a mayor or a gover-
nor, (ranked-choice vot-
ing) helps elect a candi-
date that better reflects
the support of a majority
of voters.”
Jason McDaniel, as-
sociate political science
professor at San Francis-
co State University, told
The Associated Press in
June that his research
shows ranked-choice vot-
ing increases the rate of
ballot errors and disqual-
ifies ballots, particularly
among lower-income res-
idents.

Homegrown approach
is best strategy for
teacher shortage
Mississippi needs more teachers.
It’s not a new problem, and neither are
the attempted solutions. Programs like
Teach for America, alternate route certi-
fication, and the Mississippi Excellence
in Teaching Program at the University of
Mississippi and Mississippi State Univer-
sity all aim to attract more people with
a diversity of skill sets and experiences
into the field of education.
Following along those lines is a new
approach from the Mississippi De-
partment of Education, which recently
announced a $4.1-million grant from the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation to fund the
Mississippi Teacher Residency program,
as reported by the Daily Journal’s Dillon
Mullan. The residency will pay the
undergraduate tuition for 35 members
of Americorps, a national network of
community service. The participants will
be placed in the classroom of a highly
skilled or National Board Certified
Teacher mentor for two years. They will
then be required to teach in a Mississippi
public school district for three years.
The program is an encouraging STATE OF THE NATION

Around the world
UK’s May fights to
sell Brexit deal to a
skeptical country
LONDON — U.K.
Prime Minister Theresa
May was starting a frantic
two-week race Monday to
convince the British pub-
lic, and a skeptical Parlia-
ment, to back the Brexit
deal she has struck with
the European Union.
May was gathering
her Cabinet for a meet-
ing hours after returning
from Brussels with the
divorce agreement ap-
proved by the 27 other
EU leaders. She plans to
address lawmakers in the
House of Commons later
in the day.
The deal needs to be
approved by Parliament,
but scores of legislators
— from both the opposi-
tion and May’s governing
Conservative Party — say
they will oppose it.
May aims to convince
them that the deal “hon-
ors the referendum” in
2016 that saw Britain vote
to leave the EU.
She argues that the
British people are sick
of endless debates about
Brexit, and backing the
deal will allow “us to come
together again as a coun-
try whichever way we vot-
ed.”
Parliament’s vote is
due before Christmas,
likely the week of Dec. 10.
India cautious as
it looks to recover
American body
NEW DELHI — Indi-
an officials have traveled
repeatedly in recent days
near the remote island
where an American mis-
sionary was killed by peo-
ple who have long resist-
ed the outside world. But
they have not set foot onto
North Sentinel Island
since the killing, and it re-
mains unclear if they will.
“They are a treasure,”
Dependera Pathak, direc-
tor-general of police on
the Andaman and Nico-
bar island groups, said of
the Sentinelese people.
“We cannot go and force
our way in. We don’t want
to harm them.”
The Sentinelese, who
scholars believe are de-
scendants of Africans
who migrated to the area
about 50,000 years ago,
survive on the small, for-
ested island by hunting,
fishing and gathering
wild plants. Almost noth-
ing is known of their lives,
except that they attack
outsiders with spears or
bows and arrows.
American John Allen
Chau was killed by is-
landers in mid-November
after paying fishermen
to smuggle him to the is-
land, where outsiders are
effectively forbidden by
Indian law. The fisher-
men told authorities that
they saw the Sentinelese
bury Chau’s body on the
beach. The notes Chau
left behind say he wanted
to bring Christianity to
the islanders.
A boat carrying police
and other officials ap-
proached North Sentinel
on Friday and Saturday,
watching the Sentinelese
through binoculars. On
Saturday the tribesmen
were armed with spears
and bows and arrows, but
they did not attempt to
shoot them at the authori-
ties, Pathak said.
“We watched them
from a distance and they
watched us from a dis-
tance,” he said.
Officials have not giv-
en up on recovering the
body, he said. But they
are moving very gingerly,
studying the 2006 killing
of fishermen whose boat
had drifted onto the is-
land.
“We are looking care-
fully at what happened
then, and what (the Sen-
tinelese) did,” he said.
“We are consulting an-
thropologists to see what
kind of friendly gesture
we can make.”
The islanders buried
the two fishermen on the
beach in 2006, but dug
up the corpses after a few
days and propped them
upright. Authorities ap-
parently never recovered
those bodies, and the
killings were never inves-
tigated.

The W earns
its first victory
From Special Reports
JACKSON — Junior forward Ill’yan Scott
helped the Mississippi University for Women’s
men’s basketball team make history Sunday
afternoon.
Scott had a team-high 20 points off the bench
to lead The W to a 66-64 overtime
victory against Howard Payne Roundup
University in its final game at the
Millsaps Thanksgiving Classic.
The win is the first in program history for The
W (1-5).
“(I’m) incredibly proud of my guys today,”
The W coach Brian Merkel said. “They fought
and fought through adversity and were finally
able to come out with a win. Every single guy on
our roster contributed in a positive way. It was
great to see their hard work pay off.”
Scott, a native of Pascagoula, was 7-for-9 from
the field and 5-for-7 from the free-throw line in
25 minutes. He also had seven rebounds, one as-
sist, two steals, and two blocked shots.
Junior guard Keith Harris scored 15 points,
senior forward D.J. Clark had 12 points and eight
rebounds, and junior guard Carlos Wilkerson
added 10 points and seven rebounds.
n On Saturday, Clark had 22 points and 15
rebounds in an 86-63 loss to the University of
Dallas.
“We had a chance to win but couldn’t get
enough stops down the stretch,” Merkel said.
“We’ve got to continue to focus on doing the little
things to get over the hump. The effort is there; we
just need to continue to focus on the little things.”
Tre Pinkston, Scott, and Skinner scored in
double figures for the Owls. Pinkston, a junior
guard, had 16 points and four assists. Scott had
14 points, six rebounds, and two blocks, while
Skinner had 10 points with two assists, two re-
bounds, and one block.
The W will play host to Tougaloo College on
Tuesday in a doubleheader. The women’s game
will start at 5:30 p.m., followed by the men’s
game.

we’ve got to go play them.”
Both teams dispatched their in-
state rivals with relative ease lead-
ing up to this game. Georgia raced
to a 38-7 halftime lead in a 45-21
win over Georgia Tech . The Tide
struggled in the first half but ran
away from Auburn, 52-21.
But they’ve known this meeting
was coming since Nov. 3, the earli-
est the title game matchup has been
set. Really, they’ve been on a collision
course since that national title clash.
Saban called the Bulldogs “prob-
ably one of the most complete teams
in the nation in terms of offense, de-
fense, special teams.”
“This will be the most challeng-
ing game that we have all year,” he
said. “I’m really proud of our guys
for what they’ve been able to ac-
lenge for us.”
Alabama has won every game
since the national title game by 20-
plus points, a 12-game streak that
is the longest to open a season in
NCAA history. The previous record
of 10 consecutive 20-point wins at
any point during a season was set
by Boise State in 2002.
Alabama has reached the 12-win
mark for the ninth time in the last
11 seasons.
The Bulldogs haven’t had that
kind of sustained success, but
they’ve been awfully good the past
two years.
They have won five straight by 17-
plus points since dropping a similarly
lopsided game to No. 12 LSU.
The reward: An Alabama re-
match.
Tagovailoa could perhaps cement
the Heisman if he’s as good for four
quarters as he was for two on that
last visit. He wasn’t particularly in-
terested in talking about either the
Heisman or the end of last season
after Saturday’s win over Auburn.
“That was last year,” Tagovailoa
said. “For me, I just want to enjoy
this win with my team, with that 24-
hour (celebration) rule. And com-
ing back into the office on Monday, Sunday’s Cryptoquote:
we want to focus on Georgia.”
Georgia quarterback Jake
Fromm, likewise, resisted the temp-
tation to talk about ‘Bama after the
Georgia Tech game.
“I’m not supposed to,.” Fromm
said.
There’s no getting around it now,

Drummond admits
catching balls from three
quarterbacks has been
unique.
“It’s a credit to the
coaches and also to the
offensive line. They are a
big reason why this is all
successful,” Drummond
said. “When one player
goes down, someone else
steps up. The difference
from high school ball to ju-
nior college ball is that re-
placement is going to be a
great player, too, so in our
offense, we don’t miss a
beat. We just keep going.”

Experience
Continued from Page 1B
and magnified any mistake.
Both styles worked.
“We said we want to learn
something as every team would
as they come into this tourna-
ment,” Virginia coach Tony
Bennett said after Friday’s win
against the Badgers and presea-
son Associated Press All-Amer-
ican Ethan Happ.
Experience also showed
for No. 6 Nevada and No. 11
Michigan State in winning sep-
arate brackets at the Las Vegas
Invitational, with both being
led by upperclassmen (Wolf
Pack fifth-year senior Caleb
Martin and Spartans junior
Cassius Winston) who earned
MVP honors. And in Michigan
State’s case, that title came by
maintaining poise well enough
to rally from 19 down against
Texas.
Here are some takeaways
from those holiday tourna-
ments:
MAUI’S TOP TRIO
Maui had the best field of the
week with Duke, Gonzaga, and
No. 8 Auburn, so there were
plenty of measuring-stick mo-
ments among legitimate Final
Four contenders.
No team was more impres-
sive than Gonzaga — in any
tournament.
Gonzaga’s offense created
problems for Duke. The Blue
Devils had a hard time deci-
phering all their ball screens
and motion. Gonzaga will only
get stronger when 6-foot-10 ju-
nior Killian Tillie returns from
preseason ankle surgery in the
coming weeks. Tournament
MVP Rui Hachimura, a versa-
tile and aggressive 6-8 junior
forward, is establishing himself
as one of the nation’s top players.
But it was Gonzaga’s defen-
sive efforts that most impressed
coach Mark Few, who said, “We
can really build on that.”
DOMINANT HUNTER
Virginia showcased a grow-
ing, game-changing presence
in 6-7 redshirt sophomore
De’Andre Hunter.
Hunter was the Atlantis
MVP in the Bahamas after
three sometimes-dominant per-
formances. First came a near
triple-double against Middle
Tennessee. Then he matched a
career-high with 23 points and
hit a key 3-pointer with about a
minute left to help hold off Day-
ton. He closed with 20 points
against Wisconsin.
He was the ACC’s sixth man
of the year last year but suf-
fered a broken wrist that side-
lined him for the NCAA tour-
nament — and the Cavaliers
missed him as they struggled
to contain UMBC’s guards
in that unprecedented 16-vs-
1 March upset. As long as he
stays healthy, he’s a weapon at
both ends alongside veterans
Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome, not
to mention Virginia’s best NBA
prospect by far.
“You look at the length and the
dimensions, and some of those
nice plays he makes offensively,”
Bennett said. “But I get equally
excited about what he’s doing
defensively, spreading out and
being able to guard sometimes
a 4, sometimes a perimeter guy.
And his alertness took a step in
the right direction.”
CHAMPS BACK?
There is reason for optimism
at Villanova, though the reign-
ing national champs still have
work to do.
Villanova looked befuddled
in a blowout home loss to Michi-
gan in a rematch of last year’s ti-
tle game and an overtime home
loss to Furman, which knocked
it out of the top 25 poll. Guard
Phil Booth said at the time the
Wildcats are “a young team try-
ing to find our way.”
Villanova looked more like
it had figured out that path at
the AdvoCare Invitational in
Orlando, Florida. It beat Cani-
sius, Oklahoma State, and No.
14 Florida State. The team’s 66-
60 win against the Seminoles
on Sunday prompted coach Jay
Wright to note: “We’ve grown
so much.”
And they are still growing,
trying to replace the talent from
last year’s title winner, includ-
ing AP national player of the
year Jalen Brunson and Final
Four most outstanding player
Donte DiVincenzo.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov.
26). Your soul feels like danc-
ing, and the rhythm of life picks
up the beat. New faces come
in and out of your projects,
invigorating the scene with excit-
ing energy. But when you want
a commitment from someone,
all you have to do is ask. Your
attention to being healthy and fit
will have far-reaching benefits.
Virgo and Libra adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 5, 23, 11,
19 and 2.
BABY BLUES ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’ve had your moments of
being entirely too busy, so you
don’t take it personally when
someone close to you gets
caught up in the bustle. You’ll
be an invaluable asset to a busy
person today.

FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The first rule is to love yourself.
It may seem noble to love
someone else more than you
love yourself, but because this
violates the first rule, it leads to
problems. You’ll be able to do
more for others when you follow
the first rule.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
One version of mistaken identity
is when you mentally imbue
others with powers they do not
possess. To accurately recog-
nize the strengths and limits of
others is a form of love.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
It’s a comfort to know where you
belong, but it’s also important
to realize that you’re the one
who made it so. You created a
place for yourself, and you could
do the same in any number of
places should you choose to
make a move.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
While others complain about
what’s wrong, you home in on
the problem, learn all you can
about the surrounding circum-
stances and fix it in a way that
satisfies both the small and the
big picture.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Much depends on where the
information is coming from.
Credible sources get listened to.
So do attractive or unexpected
sources. Unfortunately, familiar
sources are most commonly
disregarded.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Shape interactions with an eye
toward the abilities and needs
of those around you. Granted,
you’re looking at a wide range of
strengths and weaknesses, but
there’s a way to guide all to the
fullness of their capacity.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). People often overestimate
the strength of their boundar-
ies. If even a small part of the
fence is down, that’s where
intruders will enter. Make sure
that enforcements are fully in
place, and then you can relax.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You will enjoy your own per-
sonal space and time. Solitude
will nurture and restore you.
Those who “get” you know when
to leave you alone. The others
will need a hint. Where gentle
reminders fail, be assertive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Though it can be dis-
appointing to learn just how
self-centered people can really
be, it also takes some of the
pressure off to learn that they
care more about how they feel
when they’re around you than
anything else.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Luck will play a role, but
it’s not the part you expect. It’s
still important to set up your
plan and follow up with your
contingency plan. The more
prepared you are the more confi-
dent you’ll be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Ironically, the foresight it
takes to avoid a bad situation
often comes in hindsight. That
is to say, people who’ve already
had the experience of being in
a bad situation are the best at
avoiding getting stuck in the
future.

(Stennis Project or
project) to be located at
the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers’ (Corps) John
C. Stennis Lock and
Dam on the Tennessee-
Tombigbee Waterway, in
Lowndes County, Mis-
sissippi. The sole pur-
pose of a preliminary
permit, if issued, is to
grant the permit holder
priority to file a license

The proposed project
would consist of the fol-
lowing: (1) a 150-foot-
long, 25-foot-high trash
screen; (2) a 180-foot-
long, 80-foot-wide in-
