City discusses ‘dire’ finances behind closed doors

Council approves LED street light assessment, debris removal contract
By Amanda Lien
and Zack Plair
alien@cdispatch.com,zplair@cdispatch.com
Columbus councilmen heard
a report on the “dire” state of
city finances behind closed
doors Tuesday night, claiming
the issue was an “investigative”
matter.
Mike Crowder, a former Co-
lumbus resident and certified
public accountant who is work-
ing for the city as a contracted
consultant while it looks for a
new chief financial officer, met
with councilmen in executive
session for nearly two hours in
the Municipal Complex. Multi-
ple city sources confirmed that,
during the closed-door session,
Crowder presented councilmen
his findings about the true —
and not particularly encourag-
ing — state of city finances.
During the executive ses-
sion, issues related to former
CFO Milton Rawle’s job per-
formance arose, those sourc-
es said, though Rawle was not
present for Tuesday’s meeting.
The council took no action
related to Crowder’s report.
Rawle, who the city hired as
CFO in 2013, abruptly resigned
Feb. 19, culminating four
months of very public criticism
that he hadn’t provided council-
men with an adequate picture of
the city’s financial situation.
He reported in November
— nearly two months after the
fiscal year had ended — that
the city operated in Fiscal Year
2018 at a near-$881,000 deficit.
Crowder Rawle
The council suspended Rawle
for 16 working days, which he
served in January, and the city
brought in Crowder to do pay-
roll, pay bills and evaluate the
city’s books. Rawle resigned
about a week after returning to
work from his suspension.
The council had scheduled
a special-call meeting for Feb.
26 to discuss a personnel mat-
ter but canceled it in the wake
of a tornado that hit Columbus
three days prior. City sources
confirmed off the record to The
Dispatch the special session
was called to hear Crowder’s
presentation.

Auditor: Mississippi water

TUPELO — Mississippi’s State Auditor says a
water management board has illegally paid itself
more than $350,000 over the past two decades.

commissioners of the Town Creek Master Water

demanded repayments Monday of over $500,000,

FDA chief Scott Gottlieb steps

down after nearly 2 years
By MATTHEW PERRONE
AP Health Writer
WASHINGTON — Food
and Drug Administration
Commissioner Scott Got-
tlieb is stepping down after
nearly two years leading
the agency’s response to a
host of public health chal-
lenges, including the opioid
epidemic, rising drug pric-
es and underage vaping.
Gottlieb cited “the chal-
lenge of being apart from
my family” in Connecticut
when announcing his de-
parture Tuesday in a note to
FDA staff. He’ll leave next
month.
President Donald Trump
tapped Gottlieb in 2017 to
“cut red tape” at the FDA.
But Gottlieb bucked expec-
tations by pushing the agen-
cy to expand its authorities
in several key ways, includ-
ing an unprecedented effort
to make cigarettes less ad-
dictive by requiring lower
nicotine levels .

Tornado forecasting improves,
but still deaths keep coming
NWS spokeswoman:
From 1994 to 2017, the
service’s ‘false alarm’
rate for tornado alerts
was 74 percent, while
last year it dropped to
69 percent
By SETH BORENSTEIN
AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON — Sometimes in
forecasting tornadoes, you can get
everything technically right, and yet
it all goes horribly wrong.
Three days before the killer
Alabama tornado struck, govern-
ment severe-storm meteorologists
cautioned that conditions could be
ripe for twisters in the Southeast on
Sunday. Then, an hour before the
tragedy, they warned that a strong
tornado could occur in two particu-
lar Alabama counties within 30 to 60
minutes.
And that’s what happened.
Yet 23 people died.
To a meteorologist, the forecast
was the equivalent of a hole-in-one
in golf or a slam dunk, but with so
many people killed, “was it a success
or a failure or both?” asked Colorado
State University meteorology pro-
fessor Russ Schumacher.
Forecasters “painted a pretty
clear picture that something bad
was going to happen,” Schumacher
said, and “there’s certainly success
in that. On the other hand, we don’t
like to see entire communities to
be turned upside-down like this. So
there’s more to be done.”
Predicting with any precision
where a tornado is going to go is still
beyond the limits of meteorology,
which is why warnings went out for
a large two-county area when a tor-
nado might be only half a mile wide.
And getting people to listen and take
precautions is another matter alto-
gether.
Forecasting tornadoes combines
the hard physics of meteorology, the
softer human factors of social sci-

Monster twister takes 10
relatives from 1 Alabama family
By JAY REEVES
The Associated Press
BEAUREGARD, Ala. — Cousins Cordarrly Jones and Demetria
Jones have a hard time counting all the relatives they lost to a monster
tornado that wiped out a rural community in Alabama.
Their grandparents, 89-year-old Jimmy Jones and 83-year-old Mary
Louise Jones, were killed in their home on a two-lane road where most
everyone shares family ties.
The couple’s son Emmanuel Jones, a 53-year-old uncle to the cousins,
is gone too. Also dead, they said, were seven cousins by both blood and
marriage: Eric Jamal Stenson, 38; Florel Tate Stenson; 63; Henry Lewis
Stenson; 65; James Henry Tate, 86; Tresia Robinson, 62; Raymond Rob-
inson Jr., 63; and Maggie Delight Robinson, 57.
Stunned by the loss of 10 relatives and worried about still more who
are hospitalized with serious injuries, the cousins stood Tuesday amid
the wreckage of a row of family homes in tiny Beauregard, near the
Georgia state line.
“It really hasn’t fully hit me yet. I’m still trying to process it,” said
Cordarrly Jones, 29.
“Everybody in this area just about was related,” said Demetria Jones,
28. “It’s devastating.”
With winds of as much as 170 mph, the deadliest U.S. tornado in
nearly six years rolled mobile homes across fields and caused even
brick homes to collapse into unrecognizable heaps. At least 23 people
were killed, some of them children. The full scale of the loss came into
focus with the release of the names of the dead. The youngest victim
was 6, the oldest 89.

Another Waller aims for an upset
Like many can-
didates, Bill Waller
Jr. has started
making his tour of
newspaper offices
to talk with edi-
torial boards. On
Monday, the Repub-
lican candidate for
Governor arrived
at The Dispatch
where he spent a
lot of time in the Slim Smith
newspaper lobby.
He wasn’t being
kept waiting. Instead, he was
captivated by the old chalk-
board mounted on the lobby
wall. On it, the results of the
1971 Democratic Party run-off to win the governor’s seat.
had been posted and it was of
particular interest to Waller,
then a student at Mississippi
State.
In the waning years of
Democratic Party dominance
in Mississippi, winning the
Democratic Party nomination
was tantamount to winning
the general election. It wasn’t
until 1991 that a Republican
— Kirk Fordice — won the
Governor’s race. A Democrat
has won just once
since.
The political
landscape was
much different 48
years ago.
The tally of the
1971 GOP run-off
showed both the
local and state-wide
results of what
would be one of the
biggest upsets in
state politics in the
past 50 years — Bill
Waller’s upset of Charles Sulli-
van in the Democratic run-off.
A few months later, Waller
easily defeated Charles Ever
As Waller Jr., the governor’s
son, studied the board, he no
doubt was struck by the sim-
ilarities between his father’s
race and his own.
In 1971, conventional
wisdom said Sullivan, the
state’s four-time Lt. Governor,
would easily move into the
Governor’s office, but Waller,
running on a comparatively
moderate platform, won by
roughly 60,000 votes, upset-
ting the establishment candi-
date.
Aside from the change in
party affiliations, the narrative
for the governor’s race this
year is much the same as it
was almost a half-century ago.
Waller, who retired in
December after serving for
21 years on the Mississippi
Supreme Court — the last 10
as Chief Justice — will take
on GOP establishment candi-
date Tate Reeves, now in his
second term as Lieutenant
Governor, along with political
newcomer Robert Foster of
DeSoto County in the Republi-
can Party.
Nine candidates, including
Attorney General Jim Hood,
will compete for the Demo-
cratic Party nomination.
Waller is focusing his
campaign on three issues
he believes Reeves has
under-supported or ignored
— health care, roads/bridges
infrastructure and education.
Waller said Reeves’ efforts
in leading the Senate to fund
the state’s failing roads/bridg-
es system are inadequate.
In 2017, Reeves and House
Speaker Phillip Gunn put
together a $1.1 billion roads/
bridges package three years
after a Mississippi Economic
Council report stated that $4.5
billion would be needed to
restore the infrastructure to
good working order.
One of the bigger policy
differences between Waller
and Reeves is in the health-
care front. Although there
have been some rumblings in
the state GOP that the party
may be open to expanding
Medicaid, Reeves has held
the establishment line. Waller,
by contrast, said he favors
expanding Medicaid. With
four of the state’s eight rural
hospitals in danger of clos-
ing, Waller said expanding
Medicaid is the best option
in keeping those hospitals in
business.
Waller also said he supports
significant raises in teacher
pay to bring the average pay to
the regional average. This ses-
sion, the Legislature passed a
$1,000 pay raise, which Waller
believes to be inadequate.
Waller said he also be-
lieves Mississippi’s economic
development strategy needs
to be overhauled. Since taking
over the Senate in his role as
Lieutenant Governor almost
eight years ago, the state has
provided hundreds of millions
of dollars in tax incentives to
attract new business. Waller
said he believes the focus
should shift to providing
support for those businesses
and industries already doing
business in the state.
Although Reeves will have
the support of Mississippi’s
Republican orthodoxy, Waller
believes the contrasts he
offers to Reeves on this issues
will prove to be a winning
strategy.
Whether a more cen-
ter-right Waller can upset the
GOP hierarchy represented by
Reeves is an open question.
But, as the old chalkboard
in The Dispatch lobby attests,
it’s happened before.

Airbus
Continued from Page 1A
“I’ve been wanting to come back
to work,” she said.
Meeks was one of 69 hopefuls,
most of them from the Golden Tri-
angle area, who attended Airbus’
job fair Tuesday afternoon. Appli-
cants could register online and fill
out pre-applications before coming
to Airbus and interviewing with
one or more supervisors about the
open positions.
Airbus is an international com-
pany with nearly 25,000 employees
all over the world — more than 200
of whom work at its only plant in
Mississippi, located next to Gold-
en Triangle Regional Airport. The
Columbus location opened in 2006
and manufactures two-to-three La-
kota Helicopters each month for the
U.S. Army, as well as H125 aircraft.
Vice President of Industry Mi-
chael Spears said the company
hopes to fill 40 full-time positions
at the plant over the next three
months.
“We moved aircraft comple-
tions here this year,
which means we have
brought the majority
of our industrial ac-
tivity to Mississippi,”
he said. “We are what
we call the industrial
center of excellence.
So we have work now Spears
and we need skilled
people.”
In this case, Spears said, Airbus
is specifically looking for employ-
ees with at least two to six years
of experience in aviation and me-
chanics to be aircraft technicians,
quality assurance inspectors and
engineers.
“From an engineering perspec-
tive, we need aviation-related engi-
neering,” he said. “We certainly are
willing to talk to anyone in a techni-
cal engineering aspect and discuss
what their background is and see
how it would possibly fit our (posi-
tions).”
But the job fair attracted appli-
cants whose background ranged
from several years in the military,
such as Meeks, to recent graduates
from certificate programs at East
Mississippi Community College.
Many, like Camp Pittman of Colum-
bus, heard about the job fair from
friends already working at Airbus
and who recommended the facility
as a great place to work.
“I have a couple of friends that
work up here,” Pitt-
man said. “They told
me a couple of days
ago I should show up,
see what happens.”
Pittman applied
for aircraft techni-
cian jobs. He said
he worked for Stark Pittman
Aerospace for two
years up until a couple of weeks
ago, which has given him the expe-
rience Airbus is looking for.
“I like the hours,” he said. “(My
friends) enjoy working up here. I’m
just trying to find a place where I
can make a career out of, plain and
simple.”
Derrick Covington, of Crawford,
said he’d heard the same thing.
“I heard when you come here,
they give you the op-
portunity to move up
and better yourself,”
he said. “I wanted a
piece of that.”
Covington was in
the Army National
Guard for four years. Covington
He left in 2012 and
now works at a body shop in Craw-
ford. In all that time, he said, he’s
been a mechanic — though he ad-
mitted he’s never worked on air
planes or helicopters.
“I always was fascinated with
helicopters, ever since I was in the
military,” he said. “I just wanted
to branch out and see what it was
like.”
He hopes, if he receives a job as a
technician at Airbus, to build on the
experience he already has.
Spears said the company’s next
step is to choose the applicants who
stood out for more interviews be-
fore filling the open positions.
“If our supervisors like them,
probably there would be one more
return visit to finalize things, and
then they would be hired,” he said.
But speeding up the hiring pro-
cess is only one benefit to recruit-
ing potential employees through a
job fair like Tuesday’s, he said.
“When you have (a job fair), first
and foremost, it adds excitement to
the hiring for the employee,” Spears
said. “They’re part of a group that’s
coming in. It shows that your com-
pany is intense about hiring people,
hiring people with skills.”

erdeen,” Sanders said.
“There’s going to have to
be a lot of dredging to get
that stretch of the river
back open to barge traf-
fic, as much as six weeks.”
That’s particularly
bad news for Logistics
Services, which relies on
traffic north of Columbus
for much of its business
— shipping steel from
Steel Dynamics north on
the river, while unloading
materials headed south.
“For the month of
March, I’ve already lost
about 50,000 tons that
I know of,’’ said Eddie
Rushing, port manager
for Logistics Solutions.
“It’s probably going to get
up to 100,000 tons in lost
business if it stays like
this for six weeks.”
The timing is particu-
larly bad with spring ap-
proaching, Rushing said.
“We’ve already lost
about 25,000 tons of lime-
stone traffic here,” he
said. “All of that comes
from the north, and right
now we desperately need
limestone, which is used
in road construction.
With spring coming,
there’s a great demand
for the limestone at the
resale yard here.”
For Rushing, the lost
revenue for shipping Steel
Dynamics products north
is something that can’t be
recouped.
“They’ll ship their
product by truck or rails,
so (Steel Dynamics) has
other options,” he said.
“But for us, what we lose
we’ll never get back.”
On the west bank, the
flood issues were more
pronounced early, but will
likely have a shorter long-
term impact.
While the flooding
didn’t escape the banks of
the river on the east bank,
it breached the west bank
about a week ago.
“We had 30 inches of
water on our docks,” said
Watco port manager Jim
Strawn. “Beginning that
Friday, on Feb. 22, we
were down for six days.
We couldn’t do any work
at all.”

tions of misconduct or vi-

Turnage did not speci-
fy which matter the coun-
cil discussed as investiga-
tive, but there was only
one such issue on Tues-
day’s agenda.
Ward 3 Councilman
Charlie Box, when oppos-
ing a proposed expendi-
ture on the policy agenda,
indicated in Tuesday’s
open session that the
council intended to meet
with Crowder later that
night.
Box, along with Ward
6 Councilman Bill Gavin,
voted against moving
forward with a contract
for a project assessment
related to installing LED
street lights citywide.
“The city’s financial
situation is, as I under-
stand it, pretty dire,”
Box said. “So I think we
need to table this until we
can get a clear picture of
what’s going on.”
Regardless, the mea-
sure passed 4-2.
The city will pay PATH
Company, based in Mem-
phis, Tennessee, up to
$100,000 for a feasibility
study on installing the
LED lights — which are
meant to save energy
costs long-term. PATH
co-founder Russ Phillips
told the council Tuesday
the city would pay that
fee regardless of whether
it ultimately went ahead
with installation.
Gavin told The Dis-
patch he believes the proj-
ect assessment is a “good
thing,” but the timing is
poor, especially given the
costs the city will incur
from a Feb. 23 tornado

aged 275 homes, 38 busi-
nesses and various other
structures — including

School.
“It’s a good project. It’s
just not the right time,” he
said. “But the council vot-
ed for it, so we will make it
happen.”
In other business,
councilmen voted unan-
imously to award a
$450,000 contract to Go-
Box, a waste removal and
recycling company in
Columbus, for chipping,
mulching and hauling of
trees and tree branch-
es felled by the Feb. 23
storm. GoBox will start
work later this week.
Councilmen also au-
thorized Jabari Edwards,
owner of J5, the city’s
project management firm,
to begin soliciting propos-
als for debris removal and
monitoring. Those pro-
posals are due by Friday.

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee — Mis-

defeat by SEC frontrunner and No.
5 Tennessee on Tuesday at Thomp-

The setback dropped the Bull-

SEC standings. Both teams are
a half-game behind Florida, who
plays LSU on Wednesday. The two
schools also trail Auburn and South
Carolina by a full game. The victory
enabled Tennessee (27-3, 15-2 SEC)
to creep a half-game ahead of LSU
for the top spot.
The two teams were tied twice
and traded the lead six times during
the opening half. Tyson Carter
opened the contest with consecutive
three-pointers to give the Bulldogs a
6-4 edge with 17:39 remaining.

WOMEN’s COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Accolades pour in for Mississippi State coach, players

By Adam Minichino
aminichino@cdispatch.com
Tuesday was a very good day
for the No. 5 Mississippi State
women’s basketball team.
If you know Vic Schaefer,
though, the MSU coach isn’t
going to celebrate the awards
he and his players received
from The Associated Press and
the Southeastern Conference
coaches for very long.
In fact, Schaefer may have
turned the page at 8:23 p.m.
Tuesday when he was in his
office watching film from his
team’s 68-64 victory against
South Carolina on Sunday in
Columbia, South Carolina. The
win clinched a second-consecu-
tive SEC regular-season cham-
pionship. It also helped secure
the No. 1 seed for this week’s
SEC tournament outright.
“We were so lethargic in that
first quarter at South Carolina,”
Schaefer said. “We have got to
learn from that and come out
and be better.”
As Schaefer and his coach-
ing staff continue to watch film
to prepare, the Bulldogs will
have some time to savor the
latest round of awards. Senior
center Teaira McCowan led the
way by being named SEC Play-
er of the Year by The AP and the
league’s coaches. McCowan,
who was a first-team All-SEC by
The AP and the league coach-
es, was a unanimous selection
by The AP. McCowan also was
named SEC Defensive Player of
the Year by the league coaches.
It is the second-straight year
McCowan has been named SEC
Defensive Player of the Year.
“Teaira is very deserving
without question,” Schaefer
said of his 6-foot-7 center, who
last season was named the inau-
gural Naismith Defensive Play-
er of the Year. “She has had that
kind of year. Night in and night
out she does it on both ends.”
McCowan is the first MSU
player to claim SEC Player of
the Year honors as voted on
by the league’s coaches since
LaToya Thomas in 2003.
McCowan led the SEC in re-
bounding at 13.4 per game. She
was fifth in the league in scor-
ing at 17.3 points per game. The
Brenham, Texas, native has
broken MSU’s career records
for rebounds (1,404) and dou-
ble-doubles (63). She also holds
MSU’s record with nine career
SEC weekly honors. Her 65.4
percent field goal percentage is
fifth in the nation.
Defensively, she is eighth
nationally in blocked shots per
game (2.4) and was second
in the league in defensive re-
bounds per game (7.6).

an in collecting top honors, as

The AP named the sev-
enth-year head coach the
SEC Coach of the Year.
Schaefer shared the award
with Kentucky’s Matthew
Mitchell in voting by the
league coaches. It is the
third time in five seasons
Schaefer has received
the award for being the
league’s top coach.
Graduate student An-
riel Howard was named
a first-team All-SEC per-
former by The AP and the
league coaches. Senior
guard Jazzmun Holmes
rounded out the Bulldogs’
honorees by earning a
spot on the SEC’s All-De-
fensive team.
Howard, a transfer
from Texas A&M, finished
ninth in the SEC in scor-
ing (15.9 ppg.) and fifth
in rebounding (8.4 rpg.),
making her and McCow-
an the only teammates to
rank among the top 10 in
the conference in scoring
and rebounding. She had
six games with 20 or more
points and scored in dou-
ble figures 23 times.
“Anriel has had a great
year, and we are so blessed
to have her,” Schaefer said.
“She has had an incredible
year. To average 16 points
and nine rebounds in this
league, it is awfully hard
to do.”
Holmes recorded a
team-high 58 steals and
ranked fifth in steals per
game (2.0) while leading
the league’s No. 2 scoring
defense (57.0 ppg.).
“Jazz being on the
all-defensive team is very
deserving,” Schaefer said.
“Not only is she running
our team averaging five
assists a game and only
one turnover, but she is
more than ready to guard
who I need her to guard.
She welcomes that chal-
lenge, much like Ro(shun-
da Johnson) did last year. I
am proud of her, and cer-
tainly, again, I think it is
very deserving.”
Schaefer also refer-
enced Johnson, who
played a key role in the
2017-18 team’s program-re-
cord 37-win season and
the program’s second con-
secutive appearance in the
national title game, when
talking about senior guard
Jordan Danberry. Despite
averaging 13.3 ppg. overall
and 14.3 ppg in SEC play,
Danberry wasn’t a first- or
a second-team selection
by The AP or the league’s
coaches. Johnson played a
pivotal role and also didn’t
receive any postseason
honors.
“Jordan could easily
have warranted being on
either of those teams,”
Schaefer said. “She aver-
aged three-and-a-half re-
bounds a game and three-
and-a-half assists a game
and two steals a game.
Those are big-time stats
in the Southeastern Con-
ference … We all know the
value Roshunda brought to
our team, and Jordan has
had an incredible year. To
average 14.4 points in the
SEC after averaging 2.8
points per game last year,
she deserves all of the
credit in the world.”
Schaefer praised his
players and the mem-
bers of his coaching staff
for helping him land the
league’s coaching honors.
He long has said he has the
“best staff in the country,”
and he reaffirmed that
sentiment Tuesday night
as the film of his team’s
victory against South Car-
olina stretched into the
second quarter.
“I appreciate all of their
hard work and dedica-
tion,” Schaefer said. “We
have wonderful players
and a tremendous staff.
That is how you get that
award. I am very humbled
and honored that the vot-
ers felt that way about the
job we have been able to do
at Mississippi State.”
With that comment
and several more, Schae-
fer was set to get back to
watching film. There was
no telling how long he
was going to watch film
or how many notes he
was going to add to his
files. But hours after MSU
received seven awards
from the league coaches
to help cap a 27-2 (15-1 in
the SEC) regular season,
preparation already had
started to help MSU get
better for its next game at
11 a.m. Friday (SEC Net-
work) in the quarterfinals
of the SEC tournament
at the Bon Secours Well-
ness Arena in Greenville,
South Carolina. MSU will
take on the winner of the
game between LSU and
Tennessee, which will be
at 11 a.m. Thursday (SEC
Network).
“Anytime you can show
them film no matter when
it is I think that is what you
have to do,” said Schaefer,
who added the Bulldogs
shot Tuesday and will
practice Wednesday be-
fore leaving for the SEC
tournament. “I think for
us the important thing is
we have to see what we did
wrong and we have got to
fix it.”

tered with 10 of the next 12
points to bring the margin
back to 26-25 with 3:29 to
go. Reggie Perry, Robert
Woodard II and Carter pro-
vided layups, while Abdul
Ado converted on a jump
hook in the lane. Weath-
erspoon followed his own
miss with an offensive put-
back heading into the final
media timeout.
Tennessee would carry
a 31-25 lead into the lock-
er room and stretched the
advantage back to double
digits inside the opening
2:37 of the second half.
“That was obviously
a tough loss,” said coach
Ben Howland. “We have
only had two really tough
losses in terms of being
beaten soundly — one at
Kentucky and one at Ten-
nessee today. We did a
good job fighting back but
had too many turnovers
in the first half. We could
have had a chance to be
closer than the six point
deficit that we went into
halftime.”
The Volunteers would
lead by as many as 24
points, 61-37 at the 5:42
mark. Mississippi State
sliced the deficit by 10
points and drew as close
as 68-54 on a Woodard II
putback dunk inside the
final minute.
“This snowballed, it’s
almost like the basket got
smaller because we had a
number of good looks ear-
ly” said Howland. “Then,
they capitalized on turn-
overs. The turnovers hurt
us — 17 turnovers. They
really picked up the pres-
sure on the ball in the
second half, which really
extended that a lot further
and made it tougher for us
to run our offense.
“Credit them, Tennes-
see is a really good team.
They’re a team that has a
chance to go a long way
in the NCAA Tournament
this year without a doubt.
They’re very deep, skilled,
tough and really play well
together.”
Tyson Carter dropped
in 14 points, a career-best
seven rebounds and hand-
ed out three assists. It
marked the fifth time in
the last six games that
Carter has reached dou-
ble figures. He was 5 of 11

Mississippi State Baseball

Mississippi State baseball takes top-15 matchup from East Carolina
Special to The Dispatch
STARKVILLE – On a chilly
afternoon at Dudy Noble
Field, the No. 8 Mississippi
State baseball team closed out
another victory over a top 25
opponent, toppling No. 14 East
Carolina, 4-1. Six Bulldog pitch-
ers combined for 14 strikeouts
and allowed just four Pirate
hits in the game.
State (11-1) capitalized on its
opportunities, scoring single
runs in the first, fifth, sixth and
seventh innings, while ECU (8-
5) scratched across its lone run
in the sixth inning.
In the bottom of the first,
Jake Mangum and Jordan West-
burg led off the game with sin-
gles and moved up one base
on a Tanner Allen groundout.
Elijah MacNamee opened the
scoring with a sacrifice fly to
center field, scoring Mangum
for a 1-0 MSU lead.
After Rowdey Jordan walked
to start the fifth inning, he was
moved to second on a Dustin
Skelton sacrifice bunt. One bat-
ter later, Gunner Halter singled
through the right side, scoring
Jordan from second to give
MSU a two-run lead. to account for the 4-1 final.
A one-out walk came around
to score on a Turner Brown dou-
ble to right-center field against
reliever Peyton Plumlee during
his third inning of work in the
top of the sixth.
In the bottom of the same
frame, a leadoff walk came
around to score for the sec-
ond-straight inning, as MacNa-
mee took four-straight balls to
open the frame. He moved to
second on a wild pitch and third
on a ground out. He scored on
Hayden Jones’ dribbler up the
middle of a drawn in infield
when the shortstop mishandled
the ball for a 3-1 Bulldog lead.
Two innings later, Westburg
ripped a one-out double into
right-center field and came
around to score on a two-out
base RBI single by MacNamee
On the mound, redshirt-ju-
nior Keegan James (2-0) got the
start and threw two scoreless
innings with a pair of strikeouts
to earn the win. Redshirt-junior
Jack Eagan threw one score-
less inning before senior Pey-
ton Plumlee came on to throw
three innings, allowing one run
and striking out four.
The trio of redshirt-junior
Trysten Barlow, junior Colby
White and graduate student
Cole Gordon each tossed score-
less innings to help close out
the win. Barlow fanned three
batters, White struck out one
and Gordon fanned four in the
ninth inning, with one reaching
via a wild pitch.
Sophomore Jordan West-
burg asked if the pitching staff
takes pressure off of the of-
fense, sophomore Jordan West-
burg said, “Well, they’re (pitch-
ing staff) doing an outstanding
job, first and foremost. We don’t
win these games without their
pitching performances. Our of-
fense doesn’t really think like
that. I think it’s pedal to the
metal, no matter what the score
is, no matter what’s going on,
no matter if we had a three-up,
three-down inning. We’re still
going to go out in the next in-
ning and try to put up as many
(runs) as we can.”
Sophomore Jordan West-
burg was 3-for-3 with a walk
and a run scored to lead the Di-
amond Dawgs at the plate. Se-
nior Jake Mangum posted his
292nd career hit in the first in-
ning and came around to score
the game’s first run. Senior Eli-
jah MacNamee drove in a pair
of runs and junior Gunner Hal-
ter collected the only other RBI
on the night for MSU.
“[I was] very pleased, I
thought everybody did their
job,” said head coach Chris Le-
monis. The game played out for
us pretty good late too, in the
seventh having the three lefties
coming up to the plate, really
four lefties [and] being able
to use our bullpen the way we
wanted to. I thought the guys
were great.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March
6). The simple act of accurately
deciding what’s yours to solve
and what isn’t will lighten your
load and make your actions
count! You’ll do what you love
so the accolades that come in
June, though nice to receive,
are minor treats along a fruitful
journey. In August, the big goal
is achieved finally, and you can
rest a few weeks. Libra and
Cancer adore you. Your lucky

BABY BLUES 46.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Tension is the sweet sounding
string music of life. Without
conflict, there are no stories.
Instead of running from those
who oppose you, you find a
way to work together toward a
mutual aim.
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). The trouble with overly
high standards is that they can
be a grind to keep up. Should
you forego fun out of a slavish
adherence to your own rules?
Maybe so. Then reinforce that
it’s a conscious choice to avoid
resenting yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
In every life, even the busiest
and seemingly most fulfilled,
there’s a void. Without it, we
wouldn’t continue to grow. So
answer that tug at your heart.
But don’t confuse a fuller life
with a more complicated one.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
As much as you enjoy being the
one who gets to cross a thing
off your list, sometimes you’re
actually the “thing” someone
else is crossing off theirs.
There’s an odd satisfaction in
that too today, so don’t discount
it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ve been known to feel skep-
tical of mushy romanticisms
and fairly so, as they can be
quite over-the-top. Love won’t
come on the wings of hyperbole,
rather it will show itself in subtle
specifics.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
At some point you have to stop
worrying what the others think
and just do it your way. Maybe
it’s a mistake — offensive
even. But you need to put it out
there to learn from it instead
of holding it in and never being
corrected.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Eventually the gentle forces will
overcome the vehement ones
because the intensity just isn’t
sustainable. Volcanos expire.
Fire dies. Heat cools. The placid
lake remains for hundreds of
millions years.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). People may or may not
like what you’re pitching, so,
whether or not you’d like to
admit it, your pride is at stake.
Good. Ultimately it will make you
sharper and help you align your
aims with the needs of those

Dec. 21). You just might be
able to simplify everything at
once. What you do to simplify a
relationship will in turn simplify
your schedule, priorities and
domestic flow. It may even elim-
inate your need of a possession
or two.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Wanting to win, not wanting
to back down, needing to come
out ahead or be right... these
are all natural human instincts
to be acknowledged, embraced
even, but also transcended.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Grown-ups have the same
intense feelings as children;
they just (hopefully) manage
them differently. You may
internally throw a tantrum today.
Externally you’ll find a different
outlet. Just be sure to fully vent.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March

though it’s a seemingly minor
commitment, you’ll be held to it.

A
h, March — bringer of St.
Patrick’s Day. The holiday is
not overlooked in the Golden
Triangle. More about that in a minute.
Falling on March 17 each year, St.
Patrick’s Day has evolved into a grand
celebration of Irish culture, with
parades and festivities. The earliest
parade was held in the 1760s in New
York City by Irishmen serving there
in the British military, according to
history.com. Today, people of all eth-
nic backgrounds embrace the chance
to “be Irish” for a day.
Those outside of Ireland often
mistakenly assume the country’s
cuisine is all potatoes and mutton. Not
so. Yes, staples of the Irish diet have
traditionally been potatoes, grains
and dairy products, but Irish food
is known for the quality and fresh-
ness of ingredients. The country is
surrounded by water teeming with
seafood, including scallops, lobster
and oysters. Irish beef is acclaimed.
Famous Irish soups are thick and
hearty. The country is also full of
great cheesemakers that produce
about 50 types of homemade farm-
house cheeses.
Bread is important on the tables
of Ireland. Fresh, crusty brown soda
bread made from whole-wheat flour
and buttermilk is a national dish. A
recipe is included today if you’d like to
try your hand at it. Serve it alongside
a bowl of hot Irish stout onion soup
covered in deliciously gooey Irish
cheddar cheese.

Paige Lawes relishes any oppor-
tunity to celebrate her Scots-Irish
heritage. On Saturday, March 16,
her Three Generations Tea Room on
Starkville’s North Jackson Street will
host a luncheon and Lawes’ presenta-
tion of The Mystical, Magical History
of Ireland — plus a screening of the
movie “The Wind That Shakes the
Barley.” The 2006 film is set during
the Irish War of Independence in the
early 1920s, also called the Easter
Rising.

How to roast broccoli florets and
get them crispy browned
BY AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
R T
oasting might just be the best
way to cook vegetables. Roasting
is a fancy term for cooking food
in a hot oven. The intense heat causes
excess moisture to evaporate, leaving
a crispy, browned exterior. And all that
browning makes food taste better.
Roasting is a great way to cook
cauliflower, winter squash, carrots,
and Brussels sprouts. Cut veggies
into bite-sized pieces, toss with olive
oil, and then spread out on a rimmed
baking sheet. When veggies are lightly
browned, they are ready to enjoy.
Lining a rimmed baking sheet with
special paper that has been treated so
it can go in the oven without burning
(called parchment paper) is a good
idea when baking anything that might
stick – everything from cookies to
roasted vegetables. The paper also
makes cleanup a snap.
When the baking sheet is cool, just
remove the parchment and throw it in

knows where they came from and to
celebrate the specialness of those cul-
tures,” said Lawes, noting how Irish
immigrants began making a place for
themselves in this country more than
two centuries ago.
“And we brought our music and
our fun and our laughter,” she added.

Garlic, chopped onion and red pepper
flakes add flavor to kale in this recipe
from America’s Test Kitchen.
Making tender
kale without
overcooking or
having it swampy
BY AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
K
ale is among the most nutri-
ent-dense of all vegetables, but it
can be difficult to turn the hearty
green tender enough to enjoy. We wanted
a simple approach to producing an abun-
dance of tender kale without overcooking
the greens or leaving them awash in
liquid.
We started with a generous 4 pounds
of kale. To fit them in the pot, we sauteed
one-third of the greens before adding the
rest in two batches and covering the pot.
In less than half an hour, the greens had
almost the tender-firm texture we wanted.
We removed the lid to allow the liquid
to evaporate as the greens finished cook-
ing. For flavorings, we added a substantial
amount of garlic and chopped onion for ar-
omatic character, and a pinch of red pep-
per flakes for heat.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice balanced
the dish. For the best results, be sure the
greens are fully cooked and tender while
covered before moving on to removing the
lid.

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup water

4 pounds kale, stemmed and cut into 3 inch
pieces
1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus extra for season-
ing
n Heat 3 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven over
medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and
cook until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7
minutes. Stir in garlic and pepper flakes and cook
until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, water,
and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to simmer.
n Add one-third of kale, cover, and cook, stirring
occasionally, until wilted, 2 to 4 minutes. Repeat
with remaining kale in 2 batches. Continue to
cook, covered, until kale is tender, 13 to 15
minutes.
n Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until most liquid has
evaporated and greens begin to sizzle, 10 to 12
minutes. Off heat, stir in lemon juice and remain-

coaxes the ultimate f lavor
out of just a few humble super-
market ingredients, turning
them into a rich-tasting and
well-balanced pasta dish that
will have your family reaching

A fter browning the sausage,
we sautéed a hefty amount of
sliced onions, along with sliced
fennel, which added texture and
f lavor to the dish. A nd while it
may seem like a mistake to add
an entire can of tomato paste and
no other tomato product to make
the sauce, the concentrated, bold

sified during cooking and added
rich notes to the dish.
To pull everything together,
