Supervisors, EMCC interested in Starkville satellite facility

BY CARL [email protected]

East Mississippi Community College and Oktibbeha Coun-ty representatives say they’re

willing to work together on a partnership that would bring a workforce training satellite fa-cility to Starkville.

Raj Shaunak, EMCC vice president for workforce and

community ser-vices, told super-visors Monday that EMCC would require an almost 6,000-square-foot facility to bring i n t r o d u c t o r y ma nu fac t ur i ng classes to Oktibbeha County.

The board took no action on the matter, but supervisors said they would continue to look into the matter.

EMCC opened a similar training facility six years ago in West Point after the Sara Lee plant ended operations. A facility used by the city and the Tennessee Valley Authority was

donated for the project.School officials have cham-

pioned their workforce training program as the Golden Triangle Development Link landed major industrial wins — Yokohama Tire Company’s Clay County investment, in particular — and

Columbus Air Force Base civilians back to workcommissary re-opensDISpATCH STAff RepoRT

Civilian workers at Columbus Air Force Base are back on the job.

On Oct. 1, 230 of CAFB’s 1,277 civilian workers were immedi-ately furloughed when the federal govern-ment shut down over a funding impasse.

In accordance with a memo De-fense Secretary Chuck Hagel re-leased on Oct. 5, the Air Force re-called most of the nearly 104,000 Air Force civilian employees placed on emergency furlough.

At Columbus Air Force Base, 230 Department of Defense civilian em-ployees returned to work Monday.

“All of our (Department of De-fense) civilian members came back to work,” said Col. Jim Sears, 14th Fly-ing Training Wing commander. “We have definitely felt the impact of the manning shortfall and we are happy to have our civilian members back. While this is good news, we can’t for-get that we are still in a government shutdown. However, we will continue to conduct the 14th Flying Training Wing mission to produce pilots, ad-vance airman and feed the fight.”

Columbus AFB’s Commissary, which also was affected by the gov-ernment shutdown, will reopen its doors today at 9 a.m. and will resume normal operating hours. However, be-cause of the closure, the commissary has not been able to reorder and the store might be low on certain items.

Several Columbus AFB contract-ed functions are still affected by the government shutdown and are still pending full Department of Defense funding.

The plan moving forward for the Lowndes County School Dis-trict’s proposed vocational school is becoming clearer.

During Monday’s school board meeting it was revealed that the school — which will be aimed at students whose career paths do not necessarily include seeking a four-year college degree — could open its door in Aug. 2015.

The school board met at Cale-donia High School.

Earlier this year the board hired Joey Henderson, of Johnson Bailey Henderson McNeel in Columbus,

City officials: Railroad closures likely shelved

BY NATHAN [email protected]

It is unlikely that Columbus council-men will consider a proposal to close railroad crossings on Southside this year, but options remain on the table and the situation may be re-addressed in 2014.

Nearly two months ago, a group of residents spoke out against a proposal from Kansas City Southern Railway and Mississippi Department of Transporta-

tion officials to fund safe-ty upgrades at six cross-ings while permanently barricading six others. KCS public safety direc-tor Allen Pepper told res-idents in August that he had project funding “this year” that he had to spend for capital improvements. The propos-al was for KCS to upgrade crossings at Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, 11th, 15th and 22nd streets for roughly $40,000 while MDOT installed safety arms and flash-ers at those same locations for about $200,000.

The plan also involved Second, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, 10th and 17th streets be-ing closed permanently on KCS’ dime.

Pepper said that a de-cision needed to be made by September, and that work would need to begin before the end of this year, for the project to be eligible for funding.

A majority of the locations in ques-tion are in Ward 1 councilman Gene Taylor’s territory. On Monday, he said it would probably be next year before the city and KCS could come back to the ta-ble and resume negotiations.

“I wouldn’t say it’s dead in the water,” Taylor said. “As far as I’m concerned, the negotiations will never be closed...I don’t think it would be smart for the city to say we’re not going to negotiate any-

NEW YORK — It’s a turkey. It’s a menorah. It’s Thanksgivukkah!

An extremely rare convergence this year of Thanksgiving and the start of Hanukkah has created a frenzy of Talmudic proportions.

There’s the number crunch-ing: The last time it happened was 1888, or at least the last time since Thanksgiving was declared a feder-al holiday by President Lincoln, and the next time may have Jews light-ing their candles from spaceships 79,043 years from now, by one cal-culation.

There’s the commerce: A 9-year-old New York boy invented the “Menurkey” and raised more than $48,000 on Kickstarter for his al-ready trademarked, Turkey-shaped menorah. Woodstock-inspired T-shirts have a turkey perched on the neck of a guitar and implore “8 Days of Light, Liberty & Latkes.” The creators nabbed the trademark to “Thanksgivukkah.”

Songs have popped up with lyr-ics like these from “The Ballad of Thanksgivukkah”: “Imagine Judah Maccabee, sitting down to roast turkey and passing the potatoes to Squanto ...” Rabbi David Paskin, the song’s co-writer and co-head of

the Kehillah Schechter Academy in Norwood, Mass., proudly declares his the Jewish day school nearest Plymouth Rock.

Let’s not forget the food mash-ups commemorating the staying power of the Pilgrims and the fight-ing prowess of the Jews, along with the miracle of one night’s oil lasting eight days. Pumpkin latkes, ap-ple-cranberry sauce and deep-fried turkey, anyone?

“It’s pretty amazing to me that in this country we can have rich sec-ular and rich religious celebrations and that those of us who live in both worlds can find moments when they meet and can really celebrate that convergence. There are a lot of places in the world where we would not be able to do that,” Paskin said.

The lunisolar nature of the Jew-ish calendar makes Hanukkah and other religious observances ap-pear to drift slightly from year to year when compared to the U.S., or Gregorian, calendar. But much of the intrigue over Hanukkah this year is buried deep in the history of Thanksgiving itself, which hasn’t always been fixed in the same spot. That caused some initial confusion over Thanksgivukkah, aka Turkuk-kah.

In 1863, Lincoln declared

Thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November (the month some-times has five of those) and the holiday remained there until Pres-ident Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a joint resolution of Congress fixing it as the fourth Thursday, starting in 1942.

Jewish practice calls for the first candle of eight-day Hanukkah to be lit the night before Thanksgiv-ing Day this year, so technically Thanksgivukkah falls on the “sec-ond candle” night.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — When you’ve got the smallest market-ing budget of the Detroit Three automakers, you have to take risks to get your TV spots noticed.

That’s why Olivier Francois, Chrysler’s mar-keting chief, gambles a lot. He’s following suc-cessful ads featuring rap-per Eminem and movie star Clint Eastwood with a pitch from a fictitious character — egotistical airhead television anchor-man Ron Burgundy from the 2004 movie “Anchor-man: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.”

And this time, Fran-cois got the talent to pitch

a refurbished version of the Dodge Durango SUV for free. Paramount Pic-tures, he said, bartered work on the commercials by Will Farrell, who plays Burgundy, in exchange for the promotion in the ads of an “Anchorman”

sequel that is due out in December.

“We can’t compete on the money,” said Francois, a Frenchman behind the gritty 2011 Super Bowl image ad for Chrysler with Eminem in his hometown of Detroit,

and the follow-up spot fea-turing Eastwood talking about America making a comeback.

Chrysler is by far the smallest of the Detroit car companies and has the lowest advertising budget. Last year, it spent $1.9 billion in the U.S., about 40 percent less than rival General Motors’ $3.1 billion, and almost 20 per-cent below Ford Motor Co.’s $2.3 billion. GM was the second-largest adver-tiser in the nation, while Ford ranked sixth and Chrysler No. 11, accord-ing the trade publication Advertising Age, which uses figures from Kantar Media to estimate spend-ing and rank the top 100 advertisers.

AP Photo/Archie ComicsThis image released by Ar-chie Comics shows “After-life With Archie,” a series debuting Wednesday.

By MATT MooreThe Associated Press

The vibrant, cheerful and safe town of Riverdale is getting a ghoulish make-over.

In “Afterlife With Ar-chie,” a series debuting

Wednesday, publisher Ar-chie Comics is launching not just its first horror ti-tle, but also its first book carrying a rating for teens and older sold only in com-ic shops.

The series written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and illustrated by Frances-co Francavilla sees Archie, Betty, Jughead, Veronica

and others, including Sa-brina the Teenage Witch, enveloped in a panoply of incantations, elder gods, zombies and the undead.

“It’s a hardcore horror book,” said Aguirre-Saca-sa, a Harvey Award-win-ning writer who melded his personal interests and horror obsessions into influences for the book. “This is why I was meant to do comics.”

Those are evidenced in descriptions and images. In one panel, for example, Sabrina the Teenage Witch is clutching the fabled but dreaded “Necronomicon.” In another, showing the gang at a party, Archie is dressed as Freddy Kreu-ger from the “Nightmare on Elm Street” films.

Francavilla included his own nods to horror clas-sics, too, like the “’Rocky Horror Picture Show’ and ‘Nosferatu’ posters on Jug-head’s bedroom wall.”

But the book, despite its subject matter, he said, reflects the core charac-teristics of Archie and the other characters.

“Sabrina? She’s always messing up,” Aguirre-Sa-casa said, though in this case, the mistake has grave consequences for Jughead.

In ‘Afterlife,’ Archie Comics veers into horrorComic will carry rating for teens

THE AssOciATED pREss

WA S H -I N G T O N — The S u p r e m e Court won’t hear an ap-peal from d isba r red Mississip -pi attor-ney Richard “Dickie” Scruggs.

The high court on Monday decided not to hear from the architect of the multibillion dol-lar tobacco lawsuits of the 1990s. Scruggs was

convicted of improperly influencing a Mississip-pi judge, saying that he would recommend him to Scruggs’ brother-in-law, then-Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott, for an appointment to the feder-al bench. The judge was presiding over a lawsuit between Scruggs and another lawyer who were fighting over money.

Scruggs pleaded guilty in 2009 to honest services fraud, but ap-pealed his conviction af-ter the high court limited the scope of honest ser-

vices laws in June 2010. But federal judges have refused to overturn his conviction, and the high court refused to reconsid-er their rulings.

JACKSON — Mississippi tax collections for the first quarter of the state’s fiscal year — July through August — are 5.9 per-cent above the estimate and $124.3 million, or 12.1 percent,

above what was collected during the same period a year ago.

The estimate — made by leg-islative leaders upon advice of the state’s financial experts — is important because it represents the amount of money available for the Legislature to appropri-

ate. If collections for the year fall below the estimate, the governor could be forced to make cuts or to dip into the state’s reserves.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports Mississip-pi revenue collections were $19.6 million — about 4.1 percent —

above the revenue estimate for September and $64.3 million above for the first quarter of the fiscal year.

However, individual income tax collections are $27.7 million, or 14.4 percent, below the esti-mate during September. For the

first quarter, individual income tax collections are $41.9 million, or 9.9 percent, below the esti-mate.

Corporate tax collec-tions more than offset the less-than-anticipated individual income tax collections.

State revenue collections start out strong

Court won’t hear Scruggs appeal

Greenwood doc headed back to court


GREENWOOD — A Greenwood doctor charged in a murder-for-hire case is scheduled to be in court in Greenwood on Tuesday for a hearing on the progress of his mental evaluation.

The Greenwood Com-monwealth reports that

Dr. Arnold Smith has been undergoing a court-or-dered mental evaluation at the Mississippi State Hos-pital since June.

Smith’s trial has been indefinitely postponed.

Smith is charged with murder as the alleged in-stigator of a plot that end-ed with the death of gun-

man Keaira Byrd and the serious wounding Derrick Lacy. Byrd allegedly was hired to kill attorney Lee Abraham, who represent-ed Smith’s ex-wife in their divorce years ago. Abra-ham was not injured.

Smith is also charged with two counts of conspir-ing to murder Abraham.

He has been held with-out bail since his arrest in 2012.

JACKSON — Attorney General Jim Hood says he’s trying to organize state at-torneys general to push Google to better protect intellectual property such as music, movies and soft-ware.

Hood said Monday during a luncheon spon-sored by the Capitol press corps and Mississippi State University’s Stennis Insti-tute of Government that he’s circulating a letter to other states’ top lawyers,

seeking a meeting with Google. He said he hopes to get signatures from more than 20 attorneys general.

“Maybe Google will come to the table,” he said. “That’s one I hope we can settle.”

Google, based in Moun-tain View, Calif., says it responds to requests from copyright owners to re-move illegally copied mate-rial. The company declined further comment Monday.

After Hood and other at-torneys general raised con-cerns earlier this year that

Google made it too easy to buy drugs online without a prescription, the online giant took some steps to make it harder. For exam-ple, the company disabled auto-complete functions that led people to illegal drug sites.

Google paid $500 mil-lion to the federal gov-ernment in 2011 to settle claims over ads sold to pharmacies that were ille-gally shipping drugs into the United States.

It appears as though the Columbus City Council will not take up the matter of a propos-al to close six railroad cross-ings on the city’s Southside, although city leaders insist the idea could emerge again, perhaps as soon as next year.

As opposed to what is happening in Washington these days, sometimes the best decision is to do nothing. The council’s no-decision on this proposal is a wise move.

When the proposal from Kansas City Southern Railway and the Mississippi Depart-ment of Transportation was

first presented, it seemed as though the idea would quickly move through the council. The railway company needed an answer by September in order to start work before the end of the year. Otherwise, the funds reserved for these types of projects would not be available.

Unlike other decisions made by the council, including a controversial decision to hire J5/Broaddus to fill a new po-sition of city project manager, the public was provided ample opportunities to contribute to the discussion.

In two public meetings,

Southside residents made their feelings known. Some spoke in favor of the proposal. Others argued against it. But the meetings proved to be far more valuable than simply allowing residents to voice their opin-ions. In both meetings, citizens again and again raised interest-ing points, challenged assump-tions and offered alternatives.

By the end of the meetings, council members had far more information than they had before the public weighed in. It was clear that too many un-answered questions remained and that many suggestions

that emerged during the public meetings warranted careful consideration.

In the end, the council’s decision not to proceed with the plan acknowledged that residents had raised issues that could not be resolved in the time frame required. The deci-sion to table the project was the smart move.

Regardless of your views on the railroad crossing issue, the process involved in considering the proposal is to be applauded. It really is how our city govern-ment should operate.

Our leaders are elected to

make decisions on our behalf. But they should make informed decisions, based on a real dia-logue with the residents. That is precisely what happened in this case and the city is better for it.

When and if the proposal emerges again, we expect an-other healthy dialogue where all stockholders are given an opportunity to contribute.

If you are a looking for a model of how the city should conduct its business, you can find no better example.

We hope it is one our city leaders will continue to follow.

MSU exodusI am a first time season ticket holder for MSU

football. I do not have ties to MSU or the state of Mississippi. I make my home in Columbus and consider myself a Bulldog. I found the MSU-LSU game to be an exciting and thrilling game until the last play of the third quarter. I am not referring to the Prescott interception or the ensuing LSU touchdown; rather, I am referring to the EXODUS of “fans.” With a huge shift of momentum to LSU, the MSU “fans” gave up. The LSU faithful sitting around us asked with all sincerity, “Why is everyone leaving?”

LSU fans obliviously know what it means to support your team. I can only imagine how uncom-fortable it was for Coach Mullen after the game, to tell a recruit on an official visit that we have the best fans in the SEC when they both had a front row seat to the EXODUS? How can Coach Mullen call a recruit and truthfully tell them how great it is to play in Davis Wade Stadium, when it is clear as day on ESPN that the “fans” don’t believe in the team. How can a MSU player find the motivation to put it all on the line during the fourth quarter while there is an EXODUS going on? Les Miles’ job of motivating his team in the fourth quarter became so much easier when all the Tigers had to do was look in the stands at the EXODUS of fans. The fourth quarter is where the real fans show their support.

If the continued ex-istence of mathematics depended on the ability of the Republicans to defend the proposi-tion that two plus two equals four, that would probably mean the end of mathematics and of all the things that require mathematics.

Republican Speak-er of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, epitomized what has been wrong with the Republicans for decades when he emerged from a White House meeting last Wednesday, went over to the assembled microphones, briefly expressed his disgust with the Democrats’ intransigence and walked on away.

We are in the midst of a national crisis, immediately affecting millions of Americans and potentially affect-ing the kind of country this will become if ObamaCare goes into effect — and yet, with multiple television network cameras focused on Speaker Boehner as he emerged from the White House, he couldn’t be bothered to prepare a state-ment that would help clarify a confused situation, full of fallacies and lies.

Boehner was not unique in having a blind spot when it comes to recognizing the importance of articulation and the need to put some serious time and effort into presenting your case in a way that people outside the Beltway would understand. On the contrary, he has been all too typical of Republi-can leaders in recent decades.

When the government was shut down during the Clinton admin-

istration, Republican leaders who went on television to tell their side of the story talked about “OMB numbers” versus “CBO num-bers” — as if most peo-ple beyond the Belt-way knew what these abbreviations meant or why the statistics in question were relevant to the shutdown. Why talk to them in Belt-way-speak?

When Speaker Boehner today goes around talking about the “CR,” that is just more of the same thinking — or lack of thinking. Policy wonks inside the Beltway know that he is talking about the “continu-ing resolution” that authorizes the existing level of government spending to continue, pending a new budget agreement.

But, believe it or not, there are lots of citizens and voters

outside the Beltway. And what is believed by those people whom too many Republicans are talking past can decide not only the outcome of this crisis but the fate of the nation for generations to come.

You might think that the stakes are high enough for Republicans to put in some serious time trying to clarify their message. As the great economist Alfred Marshall once said, facts do not speak for themselves. If we are waiting for the Republicans to do the speak-ing, the country is in big trouble.

Democrats, by contrast, are all talk. They could sell refrigerators to Eskimos before Republicans could sell them blankets.

Indeed, Democrats sold Barack

Obama to the American public, which is an even more amazing feat, considering his complete lack of relevant experience and questionable (at best) loyalty to the values and institutions of this country.

The Democrats have obviously given a lot of attention to artic-ulation, including coordinated articulation among their mem-bers. Some years ago, Senator Chuck Schumer was recorded, apparently without his knowledge, telling fellow Democrats to keep using the word “extremist” when discussing Republicans.

Even earlier, when George W. Bush first ran for President, the word that suddenly began appear-ing everywhere was “gravitas” — as in the endlessly repeated charge that Bush lacked “gravi-tas.” People who had never used that word before suddenly began using it all the time.

Today, the Democrats’ buzz-word is “clean” — as in the endlessly repeated statement that Republicans in the House of Rep-resentatives should send a “clean” bill to the Senate. Anything less than a blank check is not consid-ered a “clean” bill.

The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the responsibility to originate all spending bills, based on what they think should and should not be funded. But the word “clean” is now apparently supposed to override the Constitution.

If Republicans want to show some seriousness about artic-ulating their case, they might start by deleting the abbreviation “CR” from their vocabulary. As has been said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” That journey is long overdue.

When no decision is the best decision

Ruth White: These words say it all to me. If ever I wondered why I’m so happy in that barn house we built, you have answered me. I long to experience a restaurant, where no one is playing with a phone, no television flashes from every corner; and where no loud music destroys conversation. Thank goodness for people like you who recognize the elements of meaningful living. Thank goodness for your words of wisdom.

Shutdown enters second week, no end in sightMike Rathbone: I’m going to be perfectly honest

with you here. I have never been more embarrassed by my country, its leadership, and for that matter, its citizens. You people have stood around playing the Republican vs Democrat games to the point that your country is on the verge of collapse, and you still don’t get it. I don’t think you ever will.

Are you aware that while you are playing this nonsense game of yours, fallen soldiers and their families can’t get their death benefits? Are you proud of yourself yet?

Are you also aware that vets who have medical test appointments are being pushed aside, canceled, and put off due to not having the personnel available to do the test? And it’s all because Congress and the president feel the need to play football with the country, and guess what, you put them in office. That makes this YOUR fault too.

There are veterans and the mentally ill living on the streets in this country, but you have no funding for this ... but you have millions to ship off to foreign countries who couldn’t care less about you. YOU played your part in that too.

So you go right ahead and shove your head back in the sand, or wherever it is you keep your head, and keep playing your games, keep voting the same losers into office, and keep on being happy sailors dancing on a sink ship.

You are an embarrassment.

Woman charged in Medicare fraud bought 20 carsBy HOLBROOK MOHRThe Associated Press

JACKSON — Newly re-leased court records claim the owner of a Mississippi hospice ran a multimillion Medicare fraud and used some of the money to buy 20 cars since December 2009.

The details about Angel-ic Hospice in Greenwood and its owner’s purchases were outlined in a 27-page document dated Feb. 19 but only made public Oct. 3 in U.S. District Court in Oxford.

The document is an af-fidavit supporting prosecu-tors’ efforts to seize cars and cash in the case. It said the hospice billed Medi-care for millions of dollars services that were never rendered, sometimes in-volving forged documents.

Regina Swims-King was charged in June in a 37-count criminal in-dictment and pleaded not guilty. Her trial is sched-uled for Dec. 2.

The hospice served numerous counties in the Mississippi Delta. It billed Medicare more than $11 million from 2007 to 2012, according to court records.

Swims-King is listed in court records as the per-son who wrote checks for the cars, though the vehi-cles were registered under various names, the court records said. The cars

listed in court documents include a $92,000 Jaguar, a Lexus and a BMW.

Swims-King’s lawyer, Cynthia Stewart, did not return a call seeking com-ment. A phone listing on the hospice website was disconnected. The web-site said the company was owned and operated by Swims-King and her hus-band, Robert King.

School boardContinued from Page 1A

to conduct feasibility stud-ies on the construction of the school. At that time, there were four possible sites. That number has dropped to two — both are just off Highway 82 near Lehmberg Road — and ne-gotiations on purchasing a piece of property continue.

Henderson suggested

to the board Monday that drawing up documents relating to the school’s construction would take roughly six months. On that schedule, they would be ready by March 2014.

At that point, bids would open and after a choice had been made on a contrac-tor, construction would

last about 14 months, or through July 2015.

The county does not have a vocational school. In the past, Superinten-dent Lynn Wright has ex-pressed a desire to build a central tech center that offers career-specific courses to students want-ing to immediately enter

the workforce following graduation.

Also involved in the district’s “master plan” moving forward is work on the district’s campuses in New Hope, Caledonia and at West Lowndes. Hender-son updated the board on those plans Monday, as well.

TrainingContinued from Page 1A

when Navistar International an-nounced it would idle its West Point plant.

Access to training, District 5 Su-pervisor Joe Williams said, is para-mount for Oktibbeha County resi-dents. Few unemployed residents have the ability to commute four days a week to EMCC’s Golden Tri-angle campus, located in Mayhew, or the West Point facility.

“We’re going to have individuals needing to go to work at the new plant in West Point, but they’re not going to be trained. I don’t have to be the one to say it...but we all know you can’t get a job like you used to,” he said. “(We need to) identify a lo-cation to teach manufacturing skills so our people will be ready to go to work in any of these industries, not just Yokohama, but any industry that opens its doors.”

Recent figures show about 5,600 people participated in EM-CC’s workforce training program, Shaunak said, and about 2,700 of those went on to begin careers in manufacturing.

A 2012 Link study shows about 25 percent of Lowndes County’s Golden Triangle Industrial Park em-

ployees lived in Oktibbeha County at the time. Shaunak estimated a similar percentage of local residents will find jobs with Yokohama. Link CEO Joe Max Higgins made the same prediction to the Dispatch in May.

“The point is there are a lot of unemployed and under-employed (Oktibbeha County residents)...who need to be motivated and encour-aged to participate and take part in educational training,” Shaunak said. “I’m telling you, a lot of people are coming here. The opportunities are there, and they need to be cre-ated now.”

Oktibbeha County’s unemploy-ment rate was last measured at 8.8 percent in August, down from July’s 9.7 percent estimate. Comparatively, Clay County’s latest figure — 18.3 percent — was the highest recorded in Mississippi. Lowndes County’s 9.5 percent estimate tracked about even with its July report.

“That’s the sad part in Starkville and Oktibbeha County. At once, we have some of the highest educated folks with the third-highest income in the state, but we also have the third highest poverty rate and low

educational attainment. It’s really two different worlds that we have here,” Shaunak said. “Still, there are a lot of people beyond high school age who lack relevant skills to be gainfully employed.”

Brooks named hospital trustee

Supervisors unanimously ap-proved Kimberly Brooks, a current Starkville Manor nurse and former OCH Regional Medical Center employee, as the hospital’s newest trustee.

Brooks will replace Betty Evans, who died shortly after she resigned from her post in July.

A previous nominee, Minnie Fox, was approved for the position, but she relinquished the post last month after supervisors rescinded their ac-tion.

In July, the board named Linda Breazeale as former trustee Leon Mathis’ replacement.

Supervisors previously commit-ted to joint county-hospital board meetings as a starting point for dis-cussions on the hospital’s future, but dates have not yet been set.

more or that we’re closing the chapter of this book.”

Columbus chief opera-tions officer David Arm-strong agreed, saying the city was keeping its options open but mak-ing a decision was “not something we’re working toward right now.” Arm-strong does not expect

the issue to surface again this year.

In a study conducted in 2008 by engineering firm Neel-Schaffer, the largest increase in traffic if the closings occurred would have been about 5 percent on Seventh Street, city engineer Kevin Stafford said in Au-

gust. Volume would have increased on the roads left open but would have decreased overall, Staf-ford said.

Taylor said if there is an opportunity again next year to improve crossings through outside funding, he would want more sug-gestions from the public.

“(I would want to) get the community more in-volved in the activities of what’s going on from day one,” he said. “I’d try to get the county involved, Paccar, Severstal, Euro-copter — those that are really using that railway to ship products involved from a safety standpoint.”

Expectations don’t faze Eric Harris.As the West Lowndes High School

football team’s go-to back, Harris knows his teammates count on him to make big plays, to be a leader, and to provide an emotional lift whenever they need it.

That’s a lot to expect from a junior who is in his first season in such

a significant role. But the 5-foot-7, 155-pounder isn’t backing down from his responsibility.

“I play with my heart 24-7, the whole game,” Harris said. “I depend on my team and listen to the coach and the plays he calls. I put 110 percent in ev-ery time I get the ball.”

Harris lived up to his word in a big way Friday, rushing for a season-high 137 yards and three touchdowns in a 54-8 victory against West Oktibbeha County High in a Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 1A, Region 3 game in Maben. For his ac-complishment, Harris is The Dispatch’s Prep Player of the Week.

The 137-yard effort was Harris’ fourth 100-plus yard game of the sea-son. It pushed his season total to 630 yards (nine touchdowns) in six games. With four games remaining, including a one at 7 p.m. Friday against Nanih Waiya (3-3, 2-1 region), Harris has work to do if he is going to reach his goal of 2,000 yards. Two open dates on the schedule also don’t work in Harris’ favor, but he isn’t going to use any ex-cuses and is going to do everything in his power to reach that number.

While the schedule doesn’t ease up for the Ole Miss football team, the good news is the Rebels will be home for a while.

Ole Miss will play the first of six-straight home games at 7:30 p.m. Saturday (ESPN) when it plays host to No. 9 Texas A&M at Vaught -Hem ing-way Stadium.

The Rebels have only played once at home this season. Ole Miss (3-2, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) dropped its second straight game Saturday, falling 30-22 at Auburn.

“We’re not happy with where we are, but we thank God we’re not where we used to be,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said Monday at his weekly media gath-ering. “The journey continues. It’s been a very difficult stretch of road games. I’m disappointed in

the outcome, but I’m extremely proud of the fight and battle our young men showed.”

Conservative projections had the Rebels 3-2 after five games. After winning the first three for the first time since 1989, those thoughts changed as Ole Miss vaulted into the national rankings.

In back-to-back losses to Ala-bama and Auburn, though, Ole Miss managed two offensive touchdowns after averaging 38 points per game in the first three.

Ole Miss is one of three teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision to have played four true road games.

STARKVILLE — Mississip-pi State senior quarterback Tyler Russell always gathers the new and freshmen wide receivers to give them a piece of critical advice.

“I tell all of them to just be patient because you never know when your time is going to come,” Russell said. “You never know when that opportunity will pres-ent itself but it will. Trust me.”

son, a 6-foot-6 freshman wideout from Birmingham, for a big play. The result was a perfect throw over double coverage for a 59-yard touchdown strike. The score with 6 minutes and 28 seconds left in the first half gave MSU its first and only lead, 23-21, in what turned out to be a 59-26 loss.

“He changed everything,” MSU coach Dan Mullen said of Russell. “He saw a certain pres-sure coming. That just kind of

donahoe wants Pats to push forwardWLHS’ Harris handling big loadPrep Player of Week Prep Football

By AdAm [email protected]

The echoes of the 2012 championship season are stirring at Heritage Academy.

That’s just fine with football coach Barrett Donahoe, who welcomed the drama and the intensity Friday that sur-rounded his team’s 14-7 victory against Washington School.

While a regular-season game pales in comparison to the magnitude of a state title matchup, Donahoe agreed the dynamics of the Patriots’ come-from-behind victory at home had a lot of the same elements he saw in the team’s 10-3 victory against Magnolia Heights that secured its Mississippi Association of In-dependent Schools Class AAA, Division II crown.

“We played great defense and made timely plays on offense,” Donahoe said. “We never panicked. Guys continued to

play even when we struggled at times offensively. That’s what we talked about all week. After (the victory against) Oak Hill Academy, we weren’t sure what to expect. The inconsistency had kind of gotten us out of sorts.”

Donahoe hopes the Patriots (6-1, 2-1 Class AAA, District 1, Division II) will continue to raise their consistency and their energy the rest of the way. The next step will be at 7 p.m. Friday when Heri-tage Academy travels to Pillow Academy (2-5, 0-3). The victory against Division I Washington School gives Heritage Acad-emy a firm grasp on its destiny. Victories this week and in remaining Division II games against Starkville Academy and Magnolia Heights (both at home) would send the Patriots back to the playoffs. There won’t be any breaks, though.

Braves eliminated; Cardinals survive

By WiLL GRAVESThe Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Pushed to the brink, the St. Louis Cardinals and rookie Michael Wacha pushed back.

Now it’s back to Busch Stadium with a trip to the NL cham-pionship series on the line for baseball’s most resilient team and the club they’ve been unable to shake for the better part of six months.

Wacha took a no-hit-ter into the eighth and the Cardinals avoided elimination with a 2-1 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday in Game 4 of the NL division series to set up a winner-take-all Game 5 on Wednes-day night.

Adam Wainwright will start for the NL Central champion Car-dinals against Pitts-burgh rookie Gerrit Cole. Both pitchers won earlier in the se-ries.

“It’s going to be fun,” Carlos Beltran said. “We’re going back home, we have our best pitcher on the mound — our ace — and I re-ally like our chances.”

So do the Pirates.Manager Clint Hur-

dle opted for Cole rath-er than veteran A.J. Burnett after the Car-dinals shelled Burnett for seven runs in two-plus innings in Game 1.

“We have one game to win,” Hurdle said. “I believe that matchup is the best we can do to beat the Cardinals in Game 5.”

By BETh hARRiSThe Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — As the celebration raged around them, Sandy Koufax sought out Clayton Kershaw in the hazy mist of the clubhouse for a hug.

Koufax, whose blazing fastball dom-inated baseball in the mid-1960s, removed the protective goggles from his eyes and rest-ed his arms on Ker-shaw’s broad shoul-ders.

From the fran-chise’s old left-handed ace to its current young southpaw, a smiling Koufax looked Ker-shaw in the eyes and bestowed his congrat-ulations. The Dodgers had advanced to their 10th National League championship series with a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.

“To get a hug and get a ‘good job’ from a guy like that, from a guy that’s been there, from a guy that’s done this before and was the best at it for a long time is pretty special,” Ker-shaw said. “He genu-inely cares about not only this team but kind of our well-being. He cares about us. That’s awesome.”

The NL West cham-pions open the next round Friday against St. Louis or Pittsburgh. The Cardinals host the wild-card Pirates in a winner-take-all Game 5 on Wednesday.

“We’ve moved one step closer,” said Don Mattingly, managing

STARKVILLE — The parents of Petal High School receiver Jesse Jackson told him he didn’t have to wait to make his college choice.

With his mind was made up, Jackson ended the debate Monday. Jackson, a three-star prospect by all of the recruiting services, an-nounced his verbal commitment to Mississippi State. He is the 18th commitment for the Class of 2014. He will make the decision official on National Signing Day on the first week in February.

“For the longest time, I wanted to wait until after the season, but I felt it was the right time,” Jackson told 247Sports.com. “I talked to my coaches, too, about it. They said I could wait ‘till long but if I knew where I wanted to go that they would wish the best for me.”

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Jackson unofficially visited MSU last week and needed just a couple of days to announce his decision.

“It’s been a lot of fun,” Jackson told Paul Jones of 247Sports.com. “I was grateful when I got my first

offer and then things moved very fast and it became a reality I was go-ing to be playing in the SEC. With our open date, I had a lot of time to think about my decision. That real-ly helped to speed up the process, and it went quicker than I thought at first.”

Jackson also held offers from Au-burn, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri, and Southern Miss, among others, and is rated the ninth-best overall prospect in the state of Mississippi, according to 247Sports.com. Jack-son has 14 receptions for 170 yards and two touchdowns in five games for Petal this season. He had 39 catches for 842 yards and 11 scores in 2011.

Jackson told 247Sports.com he plans to major in engineering at MSU. He said he also was im-pressed with MSU’s willingness to give freshmen playing time. This season, MSU has given significant playing time to freshmen wide re-ceivers D’Runnya Wilson and Fred Ross.

“I like how Dak (Prescott) has done this year, and I also got a good feel for (2014 MSU commit) Elijah (Staley) at Big Dawg Camp,” Jack-

son said. “I know he has a big arm and likes to mix in the run, too. We hit it off well at Big Dawg Camp, and I like the chance to earn early playing time and playing with those quarterbacks.”Mullen not convinced shootouts will define SEC

big gamesMSU coach Dan Mullen isn’t convinced Southeast-

ern Conference games will continue to be shootouts.MSU (2-3, 0-2 SEC) is still fourth in the SEC in to-

tal defense even after allowing 59 points and 563 yards Saturday in a loss to No. 10 LSU.

LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger was 25 of 29 for 340 yards and two touchdowns on his way to being named SEC Player of the Week. In addition to complet-ing a career-high 25 passes, Mettenberger’s 86-percent completion rate is the fourth-highest total for a QB in school history in a game with at least 20 attempts.

The 59 points were the most for LSU (5-1, 2-1) in a SEC game since it scored 63 against Kentucky in 1997. The Tigers have scored 30 or more points in every game — a first in school history — and has eclipsed the 400-yard mark in all six games, another first in LSU history. LSU outscored MSU 31-3 in the second half after lead-ing 28-23 at halftime.

The SEC has three schools in the top 30 in total defense this week. However, Mullen isn’t convinced de-fenses will decide who will play in Atlanta for the SEC title.

“Before all is said and done you’re going to see some defensive battles in this league,” Mullen said. “It’s my ninth year in the league, I’ve seen offensive explo-sions. You’ve seen defensive years.”

Petal High WR Jackson commits to MSU

ReceiversContinued from Page 1B

shows his experience.”According a new pol-

icy created by the MSU football program in which freshman are only allowed to speak after games, Wilson was un-available Monday evening after practice.

“I have the greatest coaches in the world be-cause if they can turn a basketball player like myself into a big-time col-lege football player at the highest level of competi-tion, what can’t they do?,” Wilson said after having two catches for 31 yards in a 51-7 victory against Alcorn State on Sept. 7.

Russell threw two touchdown passes to give him 39, which moved past Derrick Taite, who threw 38 from 1993-96. All told,

Russell has 42 touch-downs (run and pass) in his career, which moved him past Wayne Madkin (41 from 1998-2001) and tied him with John Bond (42 from 1980-83) for third on the program’s all-time list. Don Smith (1983-86) is the MSU ca-reer leader with 52 touch-downs. In Russell’s last two games against LSU, he is 33 of 49 for 441 yards and three touchdowns.

“I think it was just (D’Runnya Wilson’s) time and he made a big play,” Russell said. “I do think that will give him a lot of confidence and trust mov-ing forward that things are looking up for him.”

Wilson, who has been given the nickname ‘Bear’ by his teammates,

had two catches in each of his first two games. He has been a big-body target to catch jump balls over the middle of the field. Against LSU, Wil-son had two catches for a career-high 80 yards. His first touchdown catch showed he can be a weap-on down the field.

“I think you see from week to week to week (the receivers are) mak-ing bigger plays,” Mullen said. “I think that is just huge when you starting seeing guys making more and more plays.”

Another quality receiv-ing target has been junior Jameon Lewis. The 5-foot-10 playmaker was one of two wide receivers Satur-day night to finish with more than 100 yards. He

has become a target on bubble screens and has shown an ability to make tacklers miss on crossing routes.

Through five games, MSU has only two receiv-ers — Lewis 19, Robert Johnson with 11 — with double-digit catches, but both are in the top 20 in the SEC in yards per catch.

“I think we stepped it up on the offensive side of the ball against LSU,” Lewis said. “We put in a lot of time in our funda-mentals after practice. It may look like we’re jok-ing around out there, but sooner rather than later in that session it’ll get com-petitive.”

ask them to go through,” Freeze said. “To get back home with some of the late trips we’ve had, be back here Sunday for a pretty thorough day also. There are times all of us wish we could just lay at home a day and watch the NASCAR race or the Presidents Cup. That’s just proba-bly human nature. I don’t know if (it has affected them) physically be-cause I think we have a good plan, but mentally I think it’s stressed them a bit. Being at home is going to help us get back maybe to a little more normalcy because that’s not a typical season. I don’t know if I’ve ever coached in (a season) that’s been shaped like this. Hopefully they’ll get back to some normalcy.”

While the change of venue should please the Rebels, the sched-ule won’t get any easier. A game against No. 10 LSU follows the game against Texas A&M. A victo-ry in either or both would greatly enhance Ole Miss’ chances to play in a New Year Day’s bowl game.

To win one or both of its next two games, Ole Miss will have to re-establish its running game. The Rebels managed 124 yards rushing Saturday.

“We pride ourselves in the run game,” Ole Miss sophomore offen-

sive lineman Justin Bell said. “It’s more of a statement play. I feel like we will be able to move the ball. We just have to move the double team and get to the linebackers. If we get our guys to the safeties, it’s going to be a show.”

Last season, Ole Miss may have suffered its most bitter defeat in a 30-27 setback to Texas A&M in Oxford. The Rebels led 27-17 with 14 minutes, 56 seconds remaining. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel then led the Aggies on two drives to snatch the victory in the closing minutes.

“You have to be multiple (against Manziel),” Freeze said. “You can’t give them just one thing. There are no bad coaches in this league and they have tremendous players, so they will make adjustments if they get a beat on what you’re doing. We did have a good plan (last year). We contained him for the better part of three quarters, but in the fourth quarter he showed why he won the Heisman Trophy.”

Texas A&M (4-1, 1-1) is coming off a bey week. Prior to that, Tex-as A&M won 45-33 at Arkansas. While Texas A&M is averaging 49.2 points per game, it is allowing 6.1 yards per carry — compared to

3.7 yards last season.“We want to run the ball,” Freeze

said. “We want to be balanced. I think our stats prove that over the course of time. We like to be bal-anced, but teams are taking things away from us that are making us try to do different things that may-be we’re not as gifted as a team. We have to continue to work on those things because good teams make you do different things than what your bread and butter are typical-ly. We’ll work hard again on doing some things.

“We had a good package last week that we really liked that was good to us early on, particularly with Barry (Brunetti) in the game, but we just got behind and didn’t feel like we could be as balanced in doing cer-tain things. We’re going to continue working on our running game.”

Defensive end Carlos Thomp-son is expected to be a game-day decision, while defensive end C.J. Johnson is expected to return after being held out of the game against Auburn. Center Evan Swindall has a toe injury and leading rusher Jeff Scott has a thigh bruise, but both are expected to play.

CardinalsContinued from Page 1B

Something the Pirates failed to do at home in front of a record crowd at PNC Park anxious to cel-ebrate with champagne for the second time in a week. Pittsburgh popped the bubbly after beating Cincinnati in the wild-card game last Tuesday. This time, the bottles remained corked after Wacha pitched like a guy who’d been in the majors for years, not months.

“He was unhittable,” Beltran said. “He gave us an opportunity to win. We scored just two runs, but you just had the feeling it was going to be enough.”

St. Louis improved to 7-1 over the last three years with its season on the line when Rosenthal got Pittsburgh MVP-can-didate Andrew McCutch-

en to pop out to second with one on in the ninth.

“I think you take high talent and high character people that are motivated and support each other, and they don’t give up,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “That’s a tough combination.”

One the Pirates are still trying to master.

Pedro Alvarez hit his third home run of the se-ries, connecting with one out in the eighth for Pitts-burgh’s only hit. It wasn’t enough for the Pirates to advance to the NL cham-pionship series for the first time in 21 years.

“I guess that’s why we play five,” McCutchen said. “We’ll be ready for the fifth one.”

The Pirates weren’t quite ready for the fourth

one, not with the way Wacha was dealing. He walked two and struck out nine before giving way to the bullpen in the eighth.

The Cardinals finished with only three hits but only really needed one: Holliday’s two-run homer in the sixth off Charlie Morton.

“You could go back and look at pitches over and over again and second guess yourself,” Morton said. “I don’t know where that pitch was. It was outer third somewhere, thigh-down and he went out and got it, he’s strong.”

So was the 6-foot-6 kid on the mound, the one barely a year removed from a standout college career at Texas A&M. Wacha didn’t permit a runner until walking Rus-

sell Martin leading off the sixth.

Wacha nearly no-hit the Washington Nationals in his last start on Sept. 24, surrendering only an infield single by Ryan Zimmerman with two outs in the ninth.

Working so quickly the Pirates never had time to get settled, he breezed through Pittsburgh’s re-vamped lineup like he was in extended spring train-ing. Mixing his fastball and changeup masterful-ly, Wacha overwhelmed the Pirates from the mo-ment he stepped onto the mound.

“He went out and hit his spots and it seemed like everything we were hitting, we were just miss-ing, just missing,” Mc-Cutchen said.

in the playoffs for the first time.Juan Uribe hit a go-ahead,

two-run homer in the eighth inning after Kershaw started on short rest for the Dodgers, who reached the NLCS for the first time since 2009.

“It was a special night to get to do it here in L.A.,” said Ker-shaw, his hair slick from the spray of beer and champagne. “We haven’t won anything yet, but it definitely feels good to get to celebrate. You never want to pass those moments up.”

Carl Crawford homered his first two times up and the Dodgers won the best-of-five playoff 3-1.

“This does not get old. I love the champagne. I love the burning sensation in my eyes,” center fielder Skip Schumaker said. “A lot of these guys have never experienced the moving on to the next round and I’m happy for them.”

Yasiel Puig doubled down

the right-field line leading off the eighth against losing pitcher David Carpenter. The rookie charged into second base and pumped his right fist in the air.

Fans were on their feet chanting “Let’s go Dodgers!” when Uribe fouled off two bunt attempts. Then he sent a hang-ing 2-2 breaking ball into the Dodgers’ bullpen in left field to put them in front for the sec-ond time.

Uribe knew it was gone as soon as he connected. He dropped his bat and threw both arms in the air at home plate.

“This moment today I’ll never forget,” he said. “I think a lot of people feel like that.”

Meanwhile, it was the lat-est October flop for Atlanta, which hasn’t won a postseason series since 2001. During that stretch, the Braves have lost seven straight playoff series and the 2012 NL wild-card

game.“To end the way it did to-

night, it’s going to hurt. It’s going to be a long way back,” Braves manager Fredi Gon-zalez said. “But tip your hat to the Dodgers and congratu-late Donnie and his staff. The sad thing is there are no more games.”

Brian Wilson pitched a scoreless eighth to get the vic-tory. Kenley Jansen struck out all three batters in the ninth for a save, fanning Justin Up-ton to end it.

That set off a celebration on the field by the Dodgers, who rushed toward the mound in a mob. They tore jerseys off each other in unbridled excite-ment and doused Uribe with a bright-colored sports drink.

“This team has a lot of fun. We don’t think about being the team to beat and all that stuff. We just go out there and play and try to have fun,” Crawford said.

Rays use walk-off magic to beat Red SoxBy The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Evan Longoria savored another win-or-go-home victory for the Tampa Bay Rays.

“I think we all understand the stakes. We all understand that we have our backs to the wall. And it seems like those moments have been fueling us,” the three-time All-Star said Monday night after Jose Lobaton’s two-out, ninth-inning ho-mer gave the Rays a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox and renewed hope in the AL division series.

“These are the game that we’ve really played well in. Although you’d like to be on the other side, maybe we need that now.”

Tampa Bay won when facing elimination for the fourth time in nine days, trimming Boston’s lead to 2-1 in the best-of-five matchup. Game 4 is tonight at Tropicana Field. Jake Peavy will start for the Red Sox against Jeremy Hellickson.

“They have a great team. They never quit. We’ve seen that ... ev-eryone knows that. We’ve just got to be one run better than them (Tues-day),” Boston’s Dustin Pedroia said. “We’ll be all right. We’ll be fine.”

As he’s done so often in his career, Longoria provided the spark that turned a potentially bleak night into a special moment in Rays history. The only player who’s appeared in every postseason game Tampa Bay has ever played homered off Clay Buchholz in the fifth inning. The three-run shot erased a 3-0 deficit and boosted sag-ging hopes.

Lobaton’s solo homer off Koji Ue-hara landed in the giant fish tank be-yond the center-field wall. The Red Sox closer didn’t allow a home run in his last 37 regular-season games.

n Athletics 6, Tigers 3: At Detroit, Grant Balfour and Oakland aren’t making many new friends in the Motor City.

That’s fine with Balfour, the high-strung reliever who nearly came face to face with Detroit’s Victor Martinez while closing out the Tigers in Game 3 to send the defending AL champions to the brink of elimination.

Brandon Moss, Josh Reddick and Seth Smith homered for the Athletics, who chased Anibal Sanchez in the fifth in-ning Monday and defeated the 6-3 for a 2-1 lead in the AL division series. Balfour pitched a hitless ninth for the save, and he and Martinez started shouting at each other after the Detroit designated hitter fouled a pitch off and looked back at the mound. “I said, ‘Why you staring me down like that?’ ” Balfour said. “He was staring me down. He knew what he was doing.”

That dust-up was a tense moment, but the A’s were in control. Detroit must beat Oakland twice in a row to have any chance of returning to the World Series after being swept by San Francisco a year ago. “They have a good team and we have a good team. Unfortunately, someone has to lose, and we’re down 2-1,” Martinez said. “We know what we have to do, and we’ve done it before.”

PatriotsContinued from Page 1B

follows Pillow Academy, so Donahoe knows his team can’t afford to let up. That’s why he wants the team to seize the momentum it earned from a hard-fought victory and move forward.

“We challenged our guys to give every bit of effort they had and to show the desire to win, and they did,” Donahoe said. “There was an in-tensity level in the second half we haven’t seen this year. It didn’t come because we had a tre-mendous amount of success. It came through perseverance. I thought our guys’ effort was extremely good.”

Parker Short’s 8-yard run in the third quarter tied the game before Short’s 10-yard halfback pass to Mark Thatcher secured the victory. Thatcher reached behind him while in the air to make the play on Short’s pass to push the Patri-ots one victory away from matching last season win total. A year ago, the Patriots finished on a five-game winning streak after Donahoe said the team faced must-win situations nearly every week down the stretch. The players responded much like they did Friday night in a competitive game in which neither team had much success running the football. Both teams averaged less than 3 yards per carry. Still, Heritage Academy relied on a defense that allowed only 209 yards to earn a confidence-building victory.

“We didn’t have things go well for us early,” Donahoe said. “We survived the first 10 min-utes. Once we did that, we realized that we final-ly could be successful. The feeling at halftime after the defensive stop where they missed the field goal was that we felt like we could have suc-cess.”

The challenge is to build on that success. A week earlier, Heritage Academy answered the bell when Oak Hill Academy cut its lead to 16-14. Against Washington School, Heritage Academy overcame penalties and turnovers to protect its home field. Donahoe hopes players like Luke Ellison, who had two pass deflections, and Jace Caldwell, who had the interception to seal the deal, continue to emerge and make plays at key moments regardless if things are clicking or the team is struggling. He believes the Patriots’ ability to do that will determine whether it gets a chance to defend its title.

“We walked into the break room in the cafe-teria (Tuesday) and it was the first time all year you could walk station to station and hear the conversation amongst the entire team was com-pletely about football,” Donahoe said. “Hopeful-ly that was the switch game to turn on the un-derstanding and the intensity they need.”

HarrisContinued from Page 1B

Harris is off to a good start considering he has only 73 carries. West Lowndes coach An-thony King said Harris has transitioned into a bigger role on offense this season after he spent most of the past two seasons in the secondary. A year ago, Harris rushed for 532 yards and eight touchdowns. This year, the Panthers (3-3, 2-2) are trying to spread the carries between Harris and Trae Williams to keep both players fresh. The strategy has enabled Harris to surpass his touchdown total from last season at the midway point of the season.

“Eric feels every time he touches the ball he can take it to the house,” King said. “That is what we try to do. We try to put him in situa-tions he can take it to the house. He runs hard. Whether he gets 1 or 2 yards, he is going to give you everything he has got.”

Harris said an improved mental approach has allowed him to shoulder a bigger burden. He said he talked with King in the offseason and knew the Panthers had heightened expec-tations for him. He said he worked hard in the weight room to gain strength and to improve his speed. In fact, he said he gained 10-15 pounds he has since lost through the wear and tear of practice and games. Still, Harris has stayed con-sistent, rushing for 116 yards in a victory against Ethel, 118 in a loss to Pelahatchie, and 108 in a victory against Montgomery County.

“I really depend on my offensive line,” Harris said. “We have a lot of young ones on the offen-sive line with two or three veterans. I depend on them to help me find a hole or room to run. They have played a big part in me being a superstar on offense.”Volleyball

n New Hope 3, Ridgeland 0: At Columbus, Silvia Sartori had 17 kills, seven aces, and five blocks Monday night to lift the Lady Trojans. Set scores were 25-16, 25-15, 15-15.

Alaina Nickoles had three kills and seven blocks, Darion Bradley had five digs, and Madison Thrasher had four aces and five blocks.

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I go out

to dinner once a month with a couple we have known for years. “Joe” is an active conversationalist, while my husband is fairly quiet.

The problem is Joe address-es only me and stares at me throughout the meal. I think it’s just a bad habit he has acquired. To no avail I have tried various seating arrangements to avoid the constant stare. It makes me very uncomfortable. I feel bad for my husband, who is totally ignored, but doesn’t seem to care as long as the food is good!

How do I get Joe to include my husband in the conver-sation and rest his gaze elsewhere? I would never say anything to “Mrs. Joe” about it because I don’t want to make her uncomfortable, too. I really want to continue the friendship and the socializing, but I’d like to feel more relaxed at the dinner table. Any suggestions? — DISTRESSED DINER

DEAR DISTRESSED: You are not helpless. The next time Joe directs his comments and questions only to you, toss the verbal ball to your husband and say, “Honey, what do YOU think about that?” It will give him an opening to enter the conver-sation.

As for the staring, Joe may

not be aware of what he’s doing. You could bring it to his atten-tion by simply saying: “You keep looking at me, Joe. Do I have food in my teeth? Is my lipstick smeared?” Then haul out a com-pact and make a show of checking for yourself. It may help to curb his discomfiting habit.

DEAR ABBY: I’m single and have grown chil-dren. I know I am not going to live forever, and I want to make sure I am not a burden to them even after death. I have a will and no bills beyond my house and normal living expenses. What else do I need to do to make sure everything is taken care of when I’m gone? — PRE-PARING IN ADVANCE

DEAR PREPARING: Do you have an advance directive for health care in case you become so ill before your death that you can’t speak for your-self? Do you have at least one health care advocate who will ensure your wishes are carried out? Do you have a cemetery plot selected and paid for, so your children won’t have to do it? How about money set aside for your funeral or memorial?

If the answer to each of these questions is yes, all you need to do is make certain your children are aware of it. If not, then get busy!

DEAR ABBY: I’m 14 and in

the eighth grade. Some of my friends have problems with body odor. It makes it hard for me to be around them. They are all nice people, but some-times I can’t breathe when I’m near them.

Some of my other friends say I should tell them, but I’m not sure how without hurting their feelings. The odor ranges from breath to body. Abby, they are known throughout our school for being “the smelly ones.” How do I tell them without offending them? — BREATHLESS IN BEACHWOOD, OHIO

DEAR BREATHLESS: I agree that telling people they have bad breath or body odor can be embarrassing. But to do so is not hurtful; in fact, it is doing the person a huge favor. The way to do it is PRIVATELY. This is important because your friends are probably not aware that they have a problem or have been causing one.

Comics & Puzzles

Dear Abby

Dear Abby

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 8). Overdoing things is counter-productive this month. You are lucky when you relax, do less and let things unfold, espe-cially in matters of the heart. November brings news that you’ll act on and eventually turn into a moneymaking opportuni-ty. Sever a tie in January, and you’ll make three more that better suit your life. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 33, 31, 28 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everyone is flawed in some way. Accepting your own imperfections takes courage. You don’t have to be fearless; you only have to be willing to

endure the fearful feelings and stand by yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The way to amplify your attractive qualities is to feel good inside about who you are. A stellar shampoo is an easier route, but you won’t be sorry for the effort you make to get right with yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t start a competition where there doesn’t need to be one. Why put yourself in a position that requires you to do more just to prove a point? Besides, it will be a pain if you have to soothe the ego of a sore loser.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll have many options, and you’re in just the mood to

make the most of them. You can clearly see what needs to happen next, and you’ll do the thing that makes you feel healthy, robust and vital.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Progress is coming gradually these days — so gradually, in fact, that you may be too impa-tient to call it a win. Day-to-day forward movement will contrib-ute more to your success than a sudden sweeping victory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Superficial beauty is as much an illusion as superficial ugli-ness. You’re after something deeper now, a kind of beauty that is unchanged by the pas-sage of time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When it’s time to call on a stranger for help, for instance a repair person or other pro-fessional, you may encounter a certain amount of reluctance in yourself. Today this is an instinct to heed, not a fear to overcome.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The situation you believe is causing you unhappiness is actually not the cause at all. The cause is something random, and the solution is exercise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Beetles and roaches were born with hard shells on their backs, but the hardest parts of you are on the inside — and they’re also the softest. Surrender to your human frailty, and you’ll find the sense of connection you seek.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Refrain from comparison. Right now, you’re likely to feel threatened by other people’s assets, which in reality have nothing to do with your own success. Do your best, and ignore the rest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s a quiet confidence that comes from giving back that cannot be duplicated through any other action. Selfless generosity orients you differently. You radiate outward instead of being self-con-scious.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Forget about the mistakes of the past; you now have the chance to start new. You’ll walk a little faster and speak a little louder today — two of the main reasons you get things done.

Smith leads Jets past Falcons on game-winning rally in final minutes By PAUL NEWBERRyThe Associated Press

ATLANTA — Geno Smith wasn’t flustered. Not after all the mistakes in his first four games. Not after the Atlanta Falcons went ahead on a touchdown with less than 2 minutes remaining.

Looking like a wily ol’ veteran instead of a rookie, Smith calmly guided the New York Jets to an-other victory.

Smith threw three touchdown

passes and directed a drive that set up Nick Folk’s 43-yard field goal on the final play, giving the Jets a 30-28 victory against the staggering Falcons on Monday night.

“It’s always been a dream of mine since I was a kid to be in those situations,” Smith said.

After the Falcons went ahead on Matt Ryan’s 3-yard touchdown pass to Levine Toilolo with 1 min-ute, 54 seconds remaining, Smith completed four straight passes

and broke off an 8-yard run that set up Folk’s field goal as time ex-pired.

The Jets (3-2) have been wait-ing for this sort of performance from Smith, who came into the game leading the NFL with 11 turnovers, including eight inter-ceptions. He was 16 of 20 for 199 yards and threw almost as many touchdown passes as the four he had in the first four games.

“My confidence is always sky-high,” Smith said. “Nothing can

bring me down.”Smith put in extra work at

practice to cut down on the turn-overs, and it sure paid off. He was sacked four times but never lost the ball.

“It’s a mindset,” he said. “I made it my duty to come out here and not put the ball on the ground and not put my team in jeopardy.”

The Falcons (1-4) rallied from a 27-14 deficit in the fourth quar-ter. Jacquizz Rodgers scored on a pair of touchdown runs, and Ryan

also threw a scoring pass to Jason Snelling.

But they couldn’t stop Smith when it mattered.

“He’s a rookie,” Atlanta safe-ty William Moore said, “and we make him look like a 10-year vet-eran.”

Considered a Super Bowl contender at the beginning of the season, Atlanta is mired in a three-game longest losing streak — its longest since 2007 — head-ing into a bye week.
