Mary Pollitz/Dispatch Staff Walter Kilborn sits on his golfcart Friday afternoon after taking care of the horses at J3 Ranch in Starkville. Though retired, Kilborn loves to stay busy working seven days a week. When he’s not working, he looks forward to any Mississippi State football or baseball game.

BY MARY POLLITZmpollitz@cdispatch.com

Walter Kilborn was not meant to retire.

The lifelong Starkville resident left Mississippi State Uni-versity nearly a decade ago, but he said he was not made to sit on his porch and watch his days tick by.

“I’d rather be doing something than just sitting at the house,” Kil-born said. “I would just be looking out at the same thing everyday, watching cars pass by my house.”

The 69-year-old worked with the labor, carpentry and sanitation crew with Mississippi State for 32 years before retiring in 2009. That same year, he made his way to J-3 Ranch where he tends to about 70 horses seven days a week.

“I just like them,” Kilborn said as he donned his brand-new Mis-sissippi State hat. “Baby, I’ve been around horses all my life, grandpar-ents used to have them. I don’t have any now but I like working with them, feeding them and petting

them. …We used to ride (horses) up and down Blackjack Road, sure did. We just ride up and down the road, me and my friends.”

Even more than the horses though, Kilborn said he enjoys sitting in the shade of the of the barn and talking to their owners every day.

Friday morning while swatting a fly with his hat, Kilborn watched as a black SUV pulled into the driveway.

Cleaning up Ward 4 will likely start with helping the younger generation, Ward 4 candidates agreed during a forum Sun-day night.

Four of the six can-didates whose names will be on the ballot Tuesday for the open city council position gathered at Genesis Church Sunday to meet their voters and discuss issues facing the ward.

Pierre Beard Sr., Pat Fisher Doug-las, Kegdra Gibbs-Gray and Dorothy McClung Lewis answered a series of audience-written questions during a two-hour forum that about 50 people at-tended. Each candi-date had one minute to answer with an ad-ditional minute given to those who had re-buttals.

Two Ward 4 can-didates, Lavonne Latham Harris and Andrita Leigh Brown were not present Sunday. The candidates are running to replace former council-man Fred Jackson, who resigned after two years on the council. His term expires in 2021.

Tiffany Turner, Ward 4 resident, hosted the forum sponsored by The Columbus Lowndes Federation of Democratic Women in an effort to bridge the gap between elected of-ficials and their constituents. Audi-ence members submitted questions in writing for the candidates and Dispatch Managing Editor Zack Plair moderated the event.

Many Mississippi Re-publican officials see the immigration raids on sev-en chicken processing plants earlier this month

not only as good policy, but as good politics.

The raids were may-be most a gift to Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who lucked into a Twitter clash with Minnesota congress-woman Ilhan Omar, cur-

rently a huge target of GOP attacks.

On the day the raids led to 680 arrests, Reeves tweeted his support, writ-ing in part that he was “glad to see that ICE is working hard to enforce

our immigration laws. 680 aliens detained in Mississippi today. We must enforce our laws, for the safety of all Amer-icans.”

One of the many crit-ics who fired back was Omar, writing “How dare you applaud as hundreds of children are left or-phaned by ICE... This is the language of dehu-manization and its only logical end is violence.”

Reeves replied that “it is wrong to demonize the brave work of our law enforcement” and that Omar’s “no-borders vision is a non-starter in Mississippi.” Reeves even ended up being in-terviewed on Fox News.

And while it’s unclear if Reeves swayed nation-al opinion, that’s not the forum that matters most to him right now. Instead, he’s running to the right

in the Republican run-off for the gubernatori-al nomination against former Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. With Reeves billing himself as the “only true conservative” and having spent months making cul-ture war against “elites” and “Hollywood liberals,” a fight with an actual lib-eral was a perfect fit.

It could be die-hard

MondayPlanned book by Mark Halperin faces widespread criticism

By HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer

NEW YORK — A re-ported book deal for Mark Halperin, the “Game Change” co-author and political commentator who has faced multiple allegations of sexual ha-rassment, is being greeted with widespread outrage. Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson called the deal “a slap in the face to all women.”

Politico announced Sunday that Halperin’s “How To Beat Trump” was expected in Novem-ber. The book draws upon observations by dozens of Democratic strategists, including Donna Brazile, James Carville and David Axelrod. It’s the first ma-jor project for Halperin since reports of harass-ment emerged in 2017, with former colleagues alleging crude sexual ad-vances. Penguin Random House canceled a planned book by Halperin and John Heilemann about the 2016 presidential election and Halperin also was dropped as a commentator by Showtime and NBC News.

“Game Change,” about the 2008 election, was a

bestseller co-written by Halperin and Heilemann and later adapted into an acclaimed HBO movie. They also teamed up on a bestseller about the 2012 race, “Double Down.”

Carlson, who alleged she was harassed by the late former Fox chairman Roger Ailes, was among many expressing surprise and anger about Sunday’s announcement. CNN po-litical commentator Karen Finney called Halperin “a predator” and condemned publisher Regan Arts. Po-litical strategist Rebecca Katz tweeted that “you can beat Trump without sup-porting the career rehabil-itation of Mark Halperin.”

Eleanor McManus said she was a 21-year-old job seeker when then-ABC News political reporter Halperin tried to kiss her during a meeting in his of-fice. She’s the co-founder of PR firm Trident DMG.

“He leveraged his posi-tion as a prominent jour-nalist to prey on women,” she said in an email. “He has yet to take responsi-bility for his actions by apologizing to his victims or demonstrating genuine contrition.”

B E R K E L E Y HEIGHTS, N.J. — President Donald Trump dismissed concerns of reces-sion on Sunday and offered an optimistic outlook for the econ-omy after last week’s steep drop in the financial markets.

“I don’t think we’re having a re-cession,” Trump told reporters as he returned to Washington from his New Jersey golf club. “We’re doing tremendously well. Our con-sumers are rich. I gave a tremen-dous tax cut and they’re loaded up with money.”

A strong economy is key to Trump’s re-election prospects. Consumer confidence has dropped 6.4 percent since July. The presi-dent has spent most of the week at his golf club in New Jersey with much of his tweeting focused on talking up the economy.

Aides sought to reinforce that

message during a series of appear-ances on the Sunday talk shows.

Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top eco-nomic adviser, dismissed fears of a looming recession and predicted the economy will perform well in the second half of 2019. He said that consumers are seeing higher wages and are able to spend and save more.

“We’re doing pretty darn well in my judgment. Let’s not be afraid of optimism,” Kudlow said.

Kudlow acknowledged a slowing energy sector, but said low interest

rates will help housing, construc-tion and auto sales.

Kudlow also defended the presi-dent’s use of tariffs on goods com-ing from China. Before he joined the administration, Kudlow was known for opposing tariffs and pro-moting free trade during his career as an economic analyst. Kudlow said Trump has taught him and others that the “China story has to be changed and reformed.”

“We cannot let China pursue these unfair and unreciprocal trad-ing practices,” Kudlow said.

Trump dismisses recession worries, says economy is strong‘We’re doing tremendously well. our consumers are rich. i gave a tremendous tax cut and they’re loaded up with money.’

Economists survey: 34 percent expect a US recession in 2021THE AssocIATEd PREss

WASHINGTON — A number of U.S. business economists appear sufficiently concerned about the risks of some of President Donald Trump’s economic policies that they expect a recession in the U.S. by the end of 2021.

Thirty-four percent of economists surveyed by the National Associ-ation for Business Economics, in a report being released Monday, said they believe a slowing economy will tip into recession in 2021. That’s up from 25 percent in a survey taken in February. Only 2 percent of those polled expect a recession to begin this year, while 38 percent predict that it will occur in 2020.

The economists have previously expressed concern that Trump’s tariffs and higher budget deficits could eventually dampen the econo-my.

The Trump administration has imposed tariffs on goods from many key U.S. trading partners, from China and Europe to Mexico and Can-ada. Officials maintain that the tariffs, which are taxes on imports, will help the administration gain more favorable terms of trade. But U.S. trading partners have simply retaliated with tariffs of their own.

Gun control advocates rallied around the coun-try on Saturday, seeking to pressure Congress

to tighten the nation’s gun laws after the re-cent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio and Northern Cali-fornia.

Demonstrators in

Providence, Rhode Is-land, where several dozen people gathered. Some held signs that said, “Dis-arm Hate,” “Enough” and “No One Needs a Weap-on of War at Home.” In

Baltimore, activists orga-nized a march.

Protesters in Charles-ton, West Virginia, car-ried signs that called for changing Congress if it didn’t change gun laws.

Demonstrators also gathered in front of City Hall in San Francisco.

The group, Everytown for Gun Safety, announced recently that it planned to hold rallies over the weekend in every state. The group is demanding a strong federal “red flag” bill to allow seizure of weapons in certain cases and legislation requiring background checks on all gun sales.

Congress is on sum-mer recess, but Republi-can Senate Majority lead-er Mitch McConnell has asked committee chair-men to review possible gun bills for consideration when lawmakers return in September.

Democrats on the House Judiciary Com-mittee announced Friday that they will be returning early to consider other gun-violence legislation. The House has already ap-proved legislation bolster-ing background checks for gun purchases.

Gun control advocates call for new gun laws at rallies

PORTLAND, Ore. — With both the left and the right declaring victory following a long-hyped rally that had Portland, Oregon, on edge it seems the liberal city will continue to be a flashpoint in an increas-ingly divided country.

City officials were mostly relieved that a downtown gathering Sat-urday of more than 1,000 far-right protesters and anti-fascist counter-dem-onstrators wasn’t as vio-lent as feared.

“I’m grateful this was largely a peaceful event,”

Mayor Ted Wheeler said. “We were preparing for and planning for a worst-case scenario.”

There were 13 ar-rests and police seized bear spray, shields, poles and other weapons. But by using barriers and bridge closures — and allowing a large contin-gent of right-wingers to leave when they asked to — authorities were able to mostly keep the two sides apart. Six minor in-juries were reported.

Joe Biggs, the orga-nizer of the right-wing gathering that featured the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer and other far-right groups, said they accomplished their goal of drawing attention to black-clad anti-fascist protesters — known as antifa —who showed up to meet them.

President Donald Trump tweeted early Saturday that “major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA

an ‘ORGANIZATION of TERROR.’” It wasn’t im-mediately clear what he meant by that because there’s no mechanism for the United States government to declare a domestic organization a terror group.

Biggs told The Orego-nian/OregonLive he was pleased the rally attract-ed Trump’s attention.

“He talked about Port-land, said he’s watching antifa. That’s all we want-ed,” he said.

Far-right and antifa groups both claim victory at Portland‘i’m grateful this was largely a peaceful event. We were preparing for and planning for a worst-case scenario.’

Big-eyed bugs and black-bellied birdsEach day has a story

to-deserves to be told, because we are

all made of stories. I mean, scientists say that humans are made of atoms, but a little bird told me we are also made of stories. Edu-ardo Galeano- Uruguayan journalist and author (1940-2015)

Sounds from the back porch grew louder by such infinitesimal amounts I barely noticed. It was not until I found three cicadas lying just outside the screen door. Two had expired and one was struggling while lying on his back. I tried to right him several times to no avail. Finally, I picked the three up and left them on the porch railing thinking perhaps the third one would eventually sit upright. The next day they were gone. About then I realized the growing sound had been cicadas emerging from the ground. The little fellows left almost as soon as they had arrived. Adult cicadas

only live a few months; most of the life cycle of the cicada is lived under ground. The female lays her eggs in tree branches. When the nymph falls to the ground it buries itself in the soil and feeds on the roots of the trees. In 2,5, or 17 years depending on the species the cicadas emerge. There are about 2,500 different species across the globe.

The most common cicada in the Southeast is known as

the “Dog Day” cicada. You have to won-der if it has anything to do with these dog days of summer. The ever-louden-ing drone I heard was the male calling to the females. It’s his mating song.

Cicadas do not bite or sting but if you hold on to them long enough, they may try to feed on your arm. During the cicadas’ short lives, they feed on tree sap. Cicadas are often confused with locust. About every 2 to 5 years I have to remind myself the green bugs with the big eyes and clear wings are

cicadas. Cicadas do not swarm or eat crops like the locust. A locust actually looks more like a grasshopper.

On another note, I spied a black-bel-

lied whistling duck. The black-bellied whistling duck is a rather rare bird to see though they are showing up more and more in our area. Our black-bellied whistling duck flew right into the wood duck box with no hesitation. The bird is not a small bird; you have to wonder if he can turn around in such a small space. The next day he stood on top of the box. Two days later he stood along the lake’s edge half way between me and the duck box. He watched as I fed the Pekin ducks but didn’t come near. The BBW duck mates for life but I only saw the one, unless of course I only saw one at a time. It’s a beautiful bird but a bit odd looking. The legs are long and both legs and bill are a bright pink-or-ange. The head, breast, and back are shades of brown. The opposite edges of the wings are white, while the belly and the tip of the tail are black of course. They feed at night in the fields and wa-ter’s edge. They only nest for a couple of weeks and then like the cicadas they are gone.

Better plan needed for children left behind after ICE raids

Nearly 700 employees at seven worksites across Mississippi were arrested last Wednesday in what has been deemed “the largest immigration enforcement sweep in a single state in U.S. history.” Within a day, approximately 300 were released by Immi-gration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), pending a later court appearance before a federal immigration judge.

The agents were executing warrants to arrest the “illegal aliens,” according to Mike Hurst, US Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi. “They have to follow our laws, they have to abide by our rules, they have to come here legally or they shouldn’t come here at all.”

The raids were defended by U.S. author-ities saying the secretive operation was successful, despite the fact that the Depart-ment of Child Protection Services and local schools were left struggling with children who went home to find their parents weren’t there.

The strongest criticism of the raids lies in the lack of preparation for the effect of miss-ing parents, which required quick actions by the school districts and the welfare services.

ICE officials said in a press release that they allowed those arrested to make a phone call to neighbors or relatives who could provide child care, and also notified schools across the area after the raids were under-way that some of their students could be affected.

Despite these efforts, the images we’ve seen through various media following the arrests — terrified, crying children huddled together in their schools and with neigh-bors, with no one to take care of them — are hard to dismiss from our minds.

It is evident from these and past raids that there is no systematic plan in place to deal with the children left behind. One can’t imagine the trauma they are enduring now, nor the long-term effects of these actions.

We believe the law should be followed, but we also believe it’s time to remember human beings are involved, families and children. As much planning as is necessary to carry out these raids, the same should be made to deal with those left behind. Tearing families apart isn’t the answer.

Shortbread and the love of a woman I had to buy birthday

presents for my wife. Her birthday was last week.

I’m not bad at present buying. I specialize in scarves, perfume and jewelry. None of those items come in a specif-ic size, so there’s less room for error.

This year, I took a jump off earth’s flattest edge and bought her a sweater. It fit, too, and she liked the color, so it did not go back to Tar-get to join the other hus-band-bought unsuitable presents on the rack of the returned.

Victory! Glory! But it made me think. Why do we know

so little about our wives, and they know so much about us?

My wife knows everything about me. She knows I like creamy in-stead of crunchy. She knows I like Irish whiskey, and not Scotch. She knows I take it black, no sugar. She knows I like vanilla, not chocolate.

And me? I’m not sure what some of the food she eats is called. Chia? Isn’t that the stuff that grows the hair on the heads of those chia pets in the dollar store? Sushi? She likes that, I know. But eel, clam, squid, Loch Ness Monster? She drinks wine, but red, white, beige?

She’s like some wild beautiful

bird I lured into my house, and now I’m not sure what kind of food it eats. I only know I want it to stay forever.

And she knows I like plaid flannel shirts, red if possible, and tweed. She knows I like the SpaghettiOs with the meatballs, but not the ones with the cut up hot dogs, and that I like corn rather than flour tortillas.

You know your wife likes the color green, no? Sure you do. Teal green? Lime green? Light green? Spruce green? No idea, right?

She knows I like French cuff shirts. She knows I hate raw toma-

toes. She knows I like corn bread, but not wheat bread.

My God, is she listening when I talk to her?

She took her birthday off, but I went to work. That morning, she went out to breakfast with her best friend. The place they went to has exposed brick walls, protein shakes, 25 kinds of tea and a num-ber of breakfast items involving spinach.

It also sells baked goods that you can take away with you.

It’s 2019, so she and her friend posted 17 pictures of the breakfast place on Facebook.

That night, after I gave her the successful sweater present, she asked me if I’d seen the pictures.

“I did,” I said. “But all I could really see was the case full of baked goods and the Scottish shortbread.”

I love Scottish shortbread. I had a grandmother who used to make it, and I kept the taste. In particu-lar, I have to have it at Christmas, but I buy it throughout the year.

“Oh, yeah,” my wife said. “I bought you some of the short-bread. I know you like it. It’s in the kitchen.”

It was her birthday. She was out with a friend. Faced with a case full of baked goods, she pushed aside the brownies, looked right through the croissants, ignored the apple tarts and bought the shortbread.

Because she knows I like it, a fact she apparently carries around in her brain, shelved just above her Social Security number, and across from the huge shelf containing the six million things she needs to know as a newspaper reporter.

I see her as a wild beautiful bird, maybe a pink one, head cocked to one side, trying to find out what I like so she can fly to where that fruit grows, and pluck one for me.

around the state

BY MEG KINNARD The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Dem-ocratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is proposing a criminal justice overhaul that aims to cut the nation’s prison population in half, end manda-tory minimum sentencing, ban private prisons and legalize mar-ijuana. He says the current sys-tem does not fairly treat people of color, addicts or the mentally ill.

“We have a system that im-

prisons and destroys the lives of millions of people,” Sanders told The Associated Press before the planned released of his proposal Sunday. “It’s racist in dispropor-tionately affecting the African American and Latino communi-ties, and it’s a system that needs fundamental change.”

Sanders was promoting the plan during a weekend of cam-paigning in South Carolina, where the majority of the Demo-cratic electorate is African Amer-ican. The Vermont senator, who won the support of some young-

er black Democrats during the 2016 primary, has stepped up his references to racial disparities, particularly during stops in the South and urban areas.

Before about 300 at a town hall in Columbia on Sunday af-ternoon, Sanders conducted a conversation on the plan with several state lawmakers who have endorsed him. Also part of the discussion was Donald Gil-liard, Sanders’ South Carolina deputy political director, who was at one time sentenced to life in federal prison for a nonviolent drug crime.

“Sometimes you don’t even believe what you’re hearing here,” Sanders said Sunday, of the problems he sees in the criminal justice system.

As president, Sanders said he would abolish mandatory mini-mum sentencing and reinstate a federal parole system, end the “three strikes law” and expand the use of alternative sentenc-ing, including community su-pervision and halfway houses. The goal is to reduce the prison population by one-half.

“A very significant number of people who are behind bars today are dealing with one form or another of illness,” Sanders said. “These should be treat-ed as health issues, not from a criminal perspective.”

According to the National Al-liance on Mental Illness , 2 mil-lion people with mental illness are booked into jails annually.

Taking aim at what his pro-

posal calls “for-profit prison profiteering,” Sanders would ban private prisons, make pris-on phone calls and other inmate communications free, and audit prison commissaries for price gouging and fees.

The plan would legalize mar-ijuana and expunge previous marijuana convictions, and end a cash bail system that Sanders says keeps hundreds of thou-sands who have not been con-victed of a crime languishing in jail because they cannot afford bail.

“Can you believe that, in the year 2019, 400,000 people are in jail awaiting a trial because they are poor?” Sanders said. “That is a moral outrage, it is a legal outrage.”

Four Louisiana men say they’ll plead guilty to charges that they tried to bribe a Mississippi sher-iff with $2,000 in casino chips, seeking lucrative jail contracts.

Michael LeBlanc Sr. of Baton Rouge, Michael LeBlanc Jr. of Prairiev-ille, Tawasky Ventroy of Opelousas and Jacque

Jones of LaPlace have filed notices this month in federal court in Jackson saying they will change their previous not guilty pleas.

All are accused of scheming to win contracts to sell inmates phone service and commissary goods at a jail in Missis-sippi’s Kemper County. They’re also accused of paying former Mississip-pi Corrections Commis-

sioner Christopher Epps $2,000 and promising him future bribes to secure his help in influencing sheriffs, especially those with regional jails over-seen by the state. Epps was convicted of taking more than $1.4 million in bribes from private con-tractors and is serving a nearly 20-year federal prison sentence in Texas.

U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate has set

an Oct. 2 plea hearing in Jackson for the four men, who all remain free on bail.

The September indict-ments were a long-de-layed continuation of the corruption investigation surrounding Epps. The conspiracy and bribery charges would carry sen-tences of up to 15 years in prison. Court papers don’t say to which charges the four will plead.

Federal jury sides with FBI in wrongful termination case

HATTIESBURG — A federal jury in Mississippi has ruled against an FBI agent who sued the agen-cy for wrongful termina-tion as a result of report-ing racial discrimination.

Citing a U.S. Attorney’s Office statement, WDAM-TV reports the Hatties-burg jury on Friday ruled that former agent Warren Flowers failed to prove his termination was due to reporting the alleged discrimination. The state-ment says the office pro-vided evidence during the trial that Flowers was ac-tually fired for dishonesty, including falsifying a form approving the use of a con-fidential source.

Flowers sued the agen-cy in 2017, saying he was discriminated against and worked at an office that had no other black em-ployees. His claims of ra-cial discrimination and a hostile work environment were dismissed prior to the trial starting last week.

Ex-missionary sentenced in death of Mississippi woman

MOSS POINT — A for-mer missionary has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for killing a preg-nant Mississippi woman while he was high on opi-oids.

News outlets report 36-year-old Brandon Colby Smith, of Moss Point, also was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years of supervised release and fined $5,000.

Smith pleaded guilty to second-degree mur-der Monday. He testified that he remembers call-ing 30-year-old Elizabeth Corene Jones about buy-ing drugs on the night of her death, but nothing else. Jones was killed in 2017 at the home she shared with her boyfriend and four children.

Smith was high on the prescription pain killer Opane. He was arrested on unrelated charges af-ter authorities found him asleep in his car. They then linked blood in the

car and on his clothes to blood on Jones’ shoes.

Former Ole Miss dispatcher charged with kidnapping

OXFORD — A former University of Mississippi police dispatcher has been charged with kidnapping and “touching a child for lustful purposes.”

News outlets report Lafayette County sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday announced the arrest of 37-year-old Nikki Thweatt in New Orleans.

A release from the sheriff’s office says Thwe-att and an underage girl went missing Sunday. The sheriff’s office says its in-vestigation led detectives to New Orleans, but it is unclear why Thweatt went there.

Thweatt had been charged with sexual bat-tery of a minor on June 26. Ole Miss officials an-nounced in a statement two days later that she was no longer employed with the university.

Thewatt is being held

in the Lafayette County Detention Center. It’s un-clear whether she has an attorney who could com-ment on her behalf.

conservative base voters who make it to the polls for the Aug. 27 runoff, so going to the right on im-migration could be a po-tent appeal to a shrunken runoff electorate.

Reeves also managed to get in a swipe at Dem-ocratic gubernatorial nominee and Attorney General Jim Hood, blam-ing him for failing to en-force state laws against hiring jobseekers without documents. Hood, for his part voiced concern for children on the day of the raids, but said he didn’t see it as a major issue for state government, saying it’s a federal problem.

“As a prosecutor all these years — they need to follow the law. But there’s a human element, too, especially dealing with kids,” Hood said.

Reeves is not the only one who has lined up in

support of the arrests. On Thursday U.S. Rep Ste-ven Palazzo’s campaign sent out a one-question survey stating: “I have always believed in up-holding the rule of law in our nation when it comes to immigration... Do you stand with Immigration and Customs Enforce-ment?” There probably won’t be a lot “no” re-sponses there.

Both outgoing Gov. Phil Bryant and Agri-culture Commissioner Andy Gipson last week forwarded a retweet by the White House twitter account of a Breitbart story framed around the idea that arresting immi-grants was clearing the way for American citi-zens to apply for poultry plant jobs.

“I’m encouraged to see the continued reports of growing interest of our

local jobseekers in these open poultry plant jobs,” Gipson wrote.

One group not united in support of the raids? People actually apply-ing for jobs. Reporters asked multiple people at a job fair for Koch Foods whether they felt Latino immigrants had taken jobs away from them, and several noted that it’s not hard to get hired for the tough jobs of slaughter-ing and butchering chick-ens. Some people said they hoped chicken pro-cessors would be forced to pay more with so many workers arrested, but the dominant feeling toward immigrants was sympa-thy.

“They’re good people,” applicant Eddie Nichol-son Jr. said last week. “Everybody’s trying to make a dollar, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

“The students are on their way back from the summer,” he said.

Mississippi State pre-veterinary student Courtney Tipton cor-ralled Say, her flea-bitten gray quarterhorse, for a bath in the stall near Kilborn.

Tipton knew she was going to bring Say with her to college her fresh-man year, three years ago. While brushing her horse, Tipton said she can’t imagine how Kil-born manages the hors-es, property and owners all while maintaining his feel-good attitude.

“It amazes how he can take care of all of them,” Tipton said. “He has so much to do and he always does it and he’s never up-set about it. We brought Say back (Thursday) and Walter just came out the barn just waving and smiling.

“(Say) loves Walter,” she laughed. “Sometimes I think he loves him more than he loves me because Walter is the one that brings him food.”

Even though he’s in the sun everyday, Kilborn just drinks his water and swears he doesn’t mind the heat.

“I like working around here,” he said. “I really love people in general, if they’re nice. I like visiting some. ... I like watching the kids come out and ride and enjoy theirselves. The heat

don’t bother me, I done gotten used to it. It’s not hard work for me.”

When Kilborn’s day in the heat is over, he goes home to Blackjack and plays with his three dogs on his porch. With the fan turned on he said he sits with the dogs until he’s nice and cool. He wakes up the next day and does it all over again.

On Sundays, he dresses up and heads to Blackjack Missionary Baptist Church to sing in choir as he has for 20 years. He couldn’t name his favorite hymn or song even if he tired.

“They are all so good,” he said.

He said he’s hoping to watch Mississippi State’s football team play this year, but there’s another sports season he’s wait-ing for.

Though the season just ended, Kilborn said he is already excited about watching the Bull-dogs play baseball.

“I love to watch them play,” Kilborn said. “…When I was coming up, I watched my daddy play baseball and I started playing baseball when I was 14 years old. I loved that game ever since. Blackjack community used to have a communi-ty baseball team. That’s where I used to play. I played about 15 years. I played first base and baby, I could bat.”

Ward 4 forumcontinued from Page 1a

honed in on the youth, all candidates focused answers on reaching out and helping the younger generation.

“The first thing they need is love,” Beard said. “They need someone to love and care for them like we had when we were growing up. We all have pasts, we all need to approach these kids. These kids are crying out for someone to love them. ... Someone to be a voice for them. We have the Boys and Girls Clubs and different activities pres-ent. We will have to get a center in this area. We have to get something.”

Lewis, a former school teacher, agreed with Beard that the younger generation needs a place to go in order to curb crime in the area.

“I would love to see a gym, I would love to see a garden that people can use to plant food and grow things,” Lewis said. “We have these seniors who know how to do stuff like that (who) can help the younger generation. There’s a bunch of things that can be done, but we need to find a place to do it. They need recreation and they need to learn how to respect and do things for folks.”

Douglas suggested the community come to-gether and identify chil-dren’s underlying strug-gles.

“I think we need to give them skills,” she said. “I’m retired, so I have a lot of time on my hands. We need to meet them where they are. If they need help, if they need to be tutored, if they need food, if they need clothes we need to clothe them. Once you meet what that issue is, then they can build.”

Gibbs-Gray said if elected, she hopes to cre-ate a partnership within the community, creating a place for children to go.

“I would get with something like this — (Genesis) is a part of this neighborhood — and putting basketball goals in here,” she said. “That

way kids have some-where to go. If you ride the community, they are all hanging out because they don’t have anywhere to go. … Putting some-thing in the community, there’s nowhere in this ward right now. We need to partner with Gene-sis or other communi-ty-based (places).”

Audience questions primarily focused on gen-eral clean-up in the ward, including crime, drug use, tornado clean-up and general beautification. Each candidate agreed the success will follow if community members start working together.

Lewis grew up in Ward 4, moved away and when she arrived back home she was astonished with how everything changed.

“We had clean streets,” Lewis said. “Everybody cleaned their yard. We need to go back to that, that old-fashioned feel of helping each other.”

Both Gibbs-Gray and Beard suggested organiz-ing committees to help with general clean-up. Specifically, Beard sug-gested getting the youth involved in helping.

City’s financesAfter candidates an-

swered submitted ques-tions, audience members were given the floor to ask further queries. One in particular, focused on the city’s financial status.

Columbus operated at an $881,000 deficit in Fis-cal Year 2018, which end-ed Sept. 30. This spring, certified public accoun-tant Mike Crowder, who was hired as a consultant for the city, reported to the council that at cur-rent spending rates, the city would be more than $338,000 in debt at the end of the fiscal year. Finances have been an ongoing concern for city councilmen ever since.

Audience member John Davis asked those running for the council seat how, if elected, they will help the citizens stay informed with the city’s finances.

“Once I’m elected and

get a chance to know about the money they have, then I can share with them the ideas I have,” Lewis said. “… We have an abundance of wealthy people in Colum-bus, maybe they can give their fair share.”

Beard, who earlier in the forum suggested creating a live-stream for the city council meetings, said he would focus on the budget and see what can be cut.

“We would have to get the budget, go over the budget,” Beard said. “We have to make sure that everything is being spent wisely. ... We will have to look at the budget, see what we can cut. We’ve got all these people rais-ing money for campaigns. If we can raise money for ourselves we can raise money for our people.”

Gibbs-Gray, owner of K-Gray Financial Ser-vices, said with her expe-rience in accounting she will help the city manage its finances.

“That’s a good sub-ject for me, numbers is one of the best things I’m good at,” Gibbs-Gray said. “We’ll go through

that budget, line by line and see what we can do. I’ll make sure that that budget is out there. ... (The budget hearing) is open to the public, but I will make sure the ward knows when that hearing is.”

Douglas added the budget needs to be sim-plified for the general public, so each citizen knows where the city is.

“We need to have hon-esty and we need to be earnest with ourselves,” Douglas said. “We need to be truthful. …We need the budget in black and white. We are paying these people to do the job.”

After the forum, Turn-er said she felt the event had been a success. She said her primary goal was to give voters an insight to those on the ballot on Tuesday.

“I feel so hopeful, and elated that people are taking interest in getting to know who is going to be representing them,”

Turner said. “We have so many registered voters in Lowndes County, but less than half vote. ... We can complain about all the things that happen after

election day but the only way that we will make our city what we want it to be is if we become informed on who is representing us.”

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: BRAVES 5, DODGERS 3

UNTAPPED POTENTIAL An inside look at the Mississippi junior college system and its impact on MSUBY BEN PORTNOYbportnoy@cdispatch.com

STARKVILLE — Everyone’s story begins somewhere.For 15 Mississippi State football players — those beginnings were

junior colleges in the Magnolia State.Oft misunderstood or overlooked, the junior college system has

produced thousands of collegiate football players.In Mississippi, the on-field product is as prominent as any in the

country. Since 1956, Mississippi junior colleges have won 13 NJCAA national titles — including six in the last eight years.

Further, five teams from the state were placed in the final 2018 NJ-CAA top-20 rankings — including undefeated national champion East Mississippi Community College.

With a backyard flush with talent, these schools have helped com-prise major portions of MSU rosters over the past 20 years.

And as his predecessors have done, coach Joe Moorhead continues to hone the fertile recruiting soil throughout the state.

“I had limited amounts of experience recruiting junior colleges pri-or to coming to Mississippi State,” Moorhead said at MSU media day. “I think it’s an invaluable resource for us.”

ThE AssOciATEd PREss

ATLANTA — Ronald Acuña Jr. says he had never before failed to hustle out of the batter’s box.

Braves manager Brian Snitker made a bold move to make sure it never hap-pens again with the 21-year-old All-Star outfielder.

With Acuña banished for styling instead of sprinting, Rafael Ortega stepped up with a sixth-inning grand slam that lifted Atlanta to a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

Acuña was pulled before the fifth inning after failing to run out a drive to right field in the third. The ball bounced off the wall for a long single — Acuña almost certainly would have had an easy double if he had hustled from home plate.

“He didn’t run. You’ve got to run,” Snitker said. “It’s not going to be ac-ceptable here. As a teammate you’re re-sponsible for 24 other guys. That name on the front is a lot more important than the name on the back of that jersey. You can’t do that. We’re trying to accom-plish something and do something spe-cial here and personal things have got to be put on the backburner. You just can’t let your team down like that.”

Snitker followed Acuña into the tun-nel for a conversation during the fourth inning before Adam Duvall entered the game in left field in the fifth, with Orte-ga moving from left to center.

Snitker said he made an immediate decision to pull Acuña out of the game but waited one inning so Duvall would have time to warm up.

“That was the decision the manager took and I respect his decision,” Acuña said through a translator, adding his lack of hustle “was unintentional.”

Acuña said he “obviously wasn’t thinking and that was the action I took.

... It’s never happened before.”Snitker said there will be no impact

on Acuña’s starting job.The move by Snitker came with At-

lanta trailing 3-1 in a high-spotlight game — a 2018 playoff rematch and the decisive game of a three-game series between the teams with the National League’s best records.

Acuña is hitting .296 with 35 home runs and 85 RBIs, and leads the NL with 29 stolen bases and 104 runs scored.

Ortega, recalled from the minors on Tuesday, made the most of only his sec-

Quintana, Cubs beat Pirates 7-1 in WilliamsportThE AssOciATEd PREss

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — José Quintana pitched seven crisp innings, Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run homer and the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-1 on Sunday night in the MLB Little League Classic.

Nicholas Castellanos and Jason Heyward also connected as Chicago earned its second straight win since consecutive heartbreaking losses to the Phillies and Pirates.

The Cubs took two of three in the unusual weekend set and remain in a virtual tie with St. Louis for the top spot in the NL Central.

Starling Marté had three hits for Pittsburgh, including his 21st homer in the ninth. Mitch Keller (1-2) allowed six runs in 4 1/3 innings.

With grinning Little Leaguers dressed in their uniforms filling the stands at BB&T Ballpark, Quintana (11-7) allowed five hits and walked none. The left-hander improved to 7-0 in nine starts since his last loss June 22.

‘The football is pretty dang good’

Of the 15 schools in the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges, few have had as great an impact on MSU as Copiah-Lincoln Com-munity College in Wes-son.

Guided by former Jack-ie Sherrill assistant Glenn Davis, the Wolves have be-come a pipeline of sorts for the Bulldogs.

This year’s team boasts four former Copiah-Lin-coln standouts — Jaquar-ius Landrews, Sh’mar Kilby-Lane, Jay Jimison and Tommy Champion — while four more Wolves have committed to MSU in the class of 2020.

“We’ve had kids go a lot of places and we have had a lot of kids go to Missis-sippi State,” Davis told The Dispatch. “I think just be-cause of the relationships I’ve had there and that I’ve had in the state (it’s) kind of natural because of that.”

Beyond the impact in Starkville, Davis offers a refreshing perspective on the junior college system in Mississippi as a whole.

The longest consec-utively tenured JUCO coach in the state, his previous stops include a four-year spell as offen-sive coordinator at South Natchez High School, a three-year stint as a wide receivers coach at Holmes Community College and two separate gigs at MSU as a graduate assistant and running backs coach.

Further, during his sev-en years on Sherrill’s staff, Davis was tasked with re-cruiting the junior college

ranks in addition to re-gional responsibilities.

“I think the big thing I can say about the junior college coaches at that time is they gave us an honest opinion of the kid — what kind of kid he was” he said of Mississip-pi JUCOs. “I remember going off to Kansas, Cal-ifornia and Arizona and I think we took some kids out there that we weren’t able to learn enough about and we weren’t given an honest opinion of those kids.”

Having seen the chang-es of junior college football in Mississippi unfold first-hand over the past three decades, Davis remains steadfast in his belief in the state’s football infra-structure.

“It’s like anywhere, years are better than oth-ers but for the most part the football is pretty dang good,” he said. “Kids ben-efit from it because they get a chance to play their way up to a better offer where they might not have had as much exposure for one reason or another. I think the competition they play against in our league is a big factor for them and I think college coaches recognize that too.”

Varying reasons, same conclusion

For Chauncey Rivers, EMCC offered a second chance. To Tyre Phillips, it was an opportunity to grow. In all, the junior college experience placed both at MSU.

“It prepared me a lot for already knowing what the SEC is like,” Rivers told

The Dispatch. “When I first came here there was no learning curve. I was already adapted so I could step in.”

Following his third marijuana-related arrest in seven months, Rivers was kicked off the team at Georgia in May 2016. Searching for a new home, he found one at EMCC. In one season with the Li-ons he totaled 45 tackles, eight sacks and one forced fumble in 12 games.

“It’s a lot of competition in Mississippi,” Rivers said. “There’s a lot of ath-letes that you don’t even realize are there.”

As for Phillips, he sought a chance to diver-sify his skillset after com-ing out of a power-I based scheme at Grenada High School.

Playing opposite Riv-ers on the offensive line, he developed into the top junior college guard in the country, per 247Sports.com.

“I learned how to pass protect at East Mississip-pi,” Phillips said. “I came out of high school at Gre-nada and I’d say we passed the ball like five times throughout the whole sea-son.”

Though Phillips and Rivers’ stories are a small sampling of the varying effects of junior college football, the lessons and pride acquired at the small schools scattered across Mississippi persist in Starkville amongst MSU’s junior college products and reflect the blue-collar nature the school recruits for.

“The kids that come here come here for a rea-

son,” associate head coach Tony Hughes said. “They come here with a chip on their shoulder. They come here because of work eth-ic and toughness and it’s a different environment than a lot of other schools like us.”

‘We all know where we come from’

At present, MSU con-tinues to reap the benefits of the in-state junior col-lege system.

Entering the 2019 season, Phillips, Rivers, senior nickelback Brian Cole II and senior receiv-er Stephen Guidry (Hinds Community College) are all expected to run with the No. 1 unit.

Landrews and junior receiver JaVonta Payton (Northwest Mississippi Community College) also figure to have expanded roles.

Looking toward the fu-ture, Moorhead received pledges from four junior college players in the 2019 class while eight of the 23 commits in the 2020 class come from in-state junior colleges.

And though each play-er past and present spent time in the JUCO ranks for varying reasons, they remain central to the vi-sion and roster Moorhead has created in Starkville.

“We all know where we come from,” Landrews said. “Junior college is way different than be-ing here at Mississippi State and it just humbled us and being able to see each other every day and where we come from is a blessing.”

BravesContinued from Page 1B

ond start with the Braves with his first career grand slam off Dustin May.

“I was just trying to just focus on trying to make good contact with the ball,” Ortega said through a translator.

May (1-2) couldn’t hold a 3-1 lead. May walked Brian McCann, gave up a single to Matt Joyce and hit Adeiny Hechavarría with a pitch to load the bases. Ortega’s homer landed in the Braves’ bull-pen.

May, adjusting to a new bullpen role, said he was “a little amped up, a

little excited.”“You still have to go

out and execute,” he said. “I didn’t execute well to-day really on any pitch. Only room for improve-ment from here.”

Dodgers rookie Tony Gonsolin, recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowed one run on five hits in four innings.

Braves left-hander Max Fried couldn’t ex-tend his streak of wins in five straight starts. Fried lasted five innings despite giving up Cody Bellinger’s three-run ho-mer in the first. Bellinger

leads the majors with 42 homers.

Anthony Swarzak (3-3), Chris Martin, Shane Greene and Mark Mel-ancon combined for four scoreless innings. Mel-ancon pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.

Acuña briefly had Bell-inger’s ball in his glove as he reached over the cen-ter field wall. The homer, which followed singles by Justin Turner and Will Smith, fell out of Acuña’s glove when his wrist hit the top of the wall. Acuña’s disappointment showed when he tossed

his glove to the warning track while Bellinger ran around the bases.

RoundupContinued from Page 1B

n AsTROs 4, AThLETics 1: OAKLAND, Calif. — Zack Greinke threw seven smooth innings for his 200th win, helping the AL West-leading Astros avoid a four-game sweep.

Alex Bregman had a three-run ho-mer among his four hits to back Greinke (13-4), who won his third straight start since coming over in a July 31 trade with Arizona.

Roberto Osuna got three outs for his 27th save as the Astros stopped a five-game slide.

Marcus Semien homered for Oak-land, which had won four in a row. Brett Anderson (10-9) allowed four runs in five innings.

n METs 11, ROYALs 5: KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pete Alonso hit his 40th home run to break the National League rookie record, capping a late outburst by New York against Kansas City.

Michael Conforto launched a long homer in the first inning and drove in four runs. Amed Rosario put the Mets ahead 6-4 with a two-run single in the seventh, and Alonso went deep in the ninth. He snapped a tie with Cody Bell-inger, who hit 39 home runs for the Dodgers in 2017 on the way to winning Rookie of the Year honors.

Alonso also had an RBI double and scored three times during his second consecutive three-hit game. Rosario had three hits and three RBIs, and Joe Panik added three hits as the top four batters in the Mets’ lineup combined to go 11 for 18 with nine RBIs and seven runs.

New York scored six times in the seventh to turn a 4-3 deficit into a 9-4 lead. J.D. Davis tied it with a pinch-hit RBI single.

Royals reliever Kevin McCarthy (2-2) was charged with four runs in one-third of an inning.

Jeurys Familia (4-1) allowed one run in two innings.

n iNdiANs 8, YANKEEs 4: NEW YORK — Mike Clevinger struck out 10 in five shutout innings to win his sev-enth straight decision, Mike Freeman had three extra-base hits and Cleveland tamed New York for a four-game split between AL pennant contenders.

A day after manager Aaron Boone and two other Yankees were ejected for again ranting against umpires, it was a relatively quiet afternoon.

Freeman hit a three-run homer and a pair of doubles. Oscar Mercado homered and drove in three runs, and Francisco Lindor also connected for the Indians. Clevinger (8-2) limited the Yankees to three hits and walked two.

CC Sabathia (5-7) came off the in-jured list after being out with knee ten-dinitis, and his original team scored four times against him in the second. Sabathia lasted three innings, allow-ing four runs and four hits. The veter-an lefty is 0-3 in his last five starts and hasn’t won since June 24.

n REd sOX 13, ORiOLEs 7: BOSTON — Rafael Devers went 4 for 5 with a homer, two doubles and four RBIs as Boston rallied from an early six-run deficit to complete a three-game sweep of Baltimore.

J.D. Martinez added three hits and two RBIs, and Sam Travis hit a solo homer for the Red Sox, who won their fifth straight as they try to climb out of a deep hole for the second AL wild card. Boston trails Tampa Bay by 6½ games.

In his last eight games, Devers is 20 for 37 with 12 extra-base hits and 14 RBIs. He raised his season RBI total to 101.

Renato Núñez had a three-run homer and four RBIs for last-place Baltimore, which dropped its seventh in a row.

Marcus Walden (8-2), the fourth of six Red Sox relievers, worked a score-less inning. Paul Fry (1-5) took the loss.

MALLARD FILLMORE

HoroscopesTODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.

19). Get right to the point and tell people what you want now, while your luck is hot. Your birthday request will set off a chain of events. By the end of September, you’ll have the proverbial keys to the kingdom. Where you take it from there is what matters. Your moral code will be tested. November brings a romantic atmosphere. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 8, 20, 45 and 1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When there’s plenty to do but not a lot on the agenda that you’re excited about, it’s not time to change your attitude. It’s time to change the agenda.

Your attitude will follow.TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Reward lies ahead. This is not a pat on the back for compli-ance, or the salary you agreed to; rather, it’s a lavish sense of fulfillment that creeps into your being and sticks around.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s only natural that relation-ships will shift with every new move and influence, though we are often unaware of the chang-es taking place. Stay aware today and you’ll be able to guide this to the benefit of all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Because you’re eager to move on to the next thing, you might be tempted to make an agree-ment that’s more convenient

than it is beneficial to you. A small amount of research will show you better options.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s time to show off all that work you’ve done to present yourself well. Put yourself out there. The more accessible you are, the more money you’ll make. Friendliness leads to social opportunity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Personal ambition can be like the high-rise construction that obscures the view from your home on the ground. To see all the good stuff, you have to walk around to the other side. It’s time to put some of this behind you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know a thing or two about justice. It often comes in ways other than the ones men choose and has been known to be served on a plate of poetry with a side of humor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). While it may seem obvious to you what action would be best to solve the problem at hand, others have their own ideas. They process life differ-ently and won’t see the same options.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Whatever you’re selling, keep the price high. Don’t cheap out on yourself. Don’t cave to deals of convenience. If you get no offers, this is actually a blessing. Try again later and charge even more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To be well-off is to have more than enough to live on. To be crazy rich is to count rela-tionships as your most valuable treasures and let them reward you beyond measure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A wrong will be righted. There’s little you have to do to make this so — the work has either been accomplished al-ready or is out of your hands for other reasons. It’s now best to let the reckoning unfold without interference.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A suggestion hangs in the atmosphere of an interesting setting. It’s hard to know when a promise that’s not clearly de-fined is ever really delivered, but the poetry here makes you care less about the outcome.

SOLUTION:Good for nothing

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: My 7-year-old

granddaughter, “Hannah,” is the light of my life. Her mother walked out on her when she was 2, and her mother’s parents don’t know she exists. Her mother hid her pregnancy and delivery, and the child has lived with us since birth.

My heart has always broken for her mater-nal grandparents. I could not imagine not knowing Hannah and missing out on her life. I have always wanted to send them pictures or even intro-duce her to them (they don’t live far from us). My husband says it’s not our place, and we run the risk of them trying to get some kind of custody.

Currently, my son and Hannah’s mother share legal custody, but he has full phys-ical custody. There has been no communication from her mother in at least five years.

Hannah is starting to ask questions about her mother, and we have always been truthful with her. It will not be long before she puts things together and realizes she has

another set of grandparents. Should we inform them about their grandchild? — HOLDING A SECRET IN THE EAST

DEAR HOLD-ING: Because your son has full physical custody of Hannah, tell him about your concerns. Han-nah’s maternal grandparents have been in the dark for so long,

the news of her existence is bound to be a bombshell. There’s a reason why their daughter didn’t want them to know about her, and as you pointed out, there could be legal ramifications. Be-cause Hannah is now asking questions about her mother, her father should prepare to answer them for her. However well-intentioned you may be, this matter is for your son to deal with, not you.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a teen girl. “Chloe” and I have been friends since first grade. Even though we went to differ-ent high schools and have made other friends, we still remained close, spending summer vacations with each other’s family.

We are now juniors in high school. Last summer she told me she’s a lesbian and shared all her feelings with me. I understand her, and we’re still close friends, sharing each other’s secrets. Her family knows and accepts her sexual orientation as I and my family do.

Three months ago, she met a partner, and I was truly happy for her. Unfortunately, her partner must feel insecure about our friendship because she has turned Chloe against me. Chloe no longer returns my calls or texts.

I miss my friend and confi-dante badly and can’t get over it. How can I get over my loss? I can’t understand why we all can’t be friends. I don’t know what to do. — MISSING MY BESTIE IN FLORIDA

DEAR MISSING: You can’t “all be friends” because Chloe’s girlfriend is threatened by the long-standing relation-ship you have had with her. This has nothing to do with you; it is a reflection of the girl’s insecurity and posses-siveness. If things don’t work out with Chloe’s girlfriend, there is a distinct possibility that she will be back in your life. Do not burn any bridges, but do continue to form rela-tionships with other people. It will help to soothe the loneli-ness you are feeling.

Beverly Ann NorrisBeverly Ann Norris, 62,

died Aug. 16, 2019, in Colum-bus, Mississippi.

Services will be Tuesday, Aug. 20 at 11:00 AM at Me-morial Gunter Peel Funeral Home in Columbus, with the Rev. Curtis Bray and the Rev. Dr. Lynn K. Barker officiating. Burial will follow at Friend-ship Cemetery. Visitation is from 9:30-11:00 AM Tuesday at the funeral home on Second Avenue North.

Beverly was born Feb. 2, 1957, in Columbus, to Camden Glover Norris and Lena West Norris.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Edwin Riley Norris.

She is survived by a son, Charles Alexander Merideth and his fiancé, Kayla Posey; a daugh-ter, Lena Angell Knight and her husband, Kenny Knight, all of Columbus; sister, Marilyn Fran-ces Norris of Bloomington, Indiana; sister, Jan Norris Swoope and her husband, Warren (Oop) Swoope of Columbus; six grandchildren, Ethan Neal Perrigin, Joseph Alexander Merideth, Cami Len Knight, Alexandra Norris Knight, Skylar Auldrianna Merideth and Aiden McKinley Me-rideth; as well as a beloved niece, nephews and cousins.

Beverly graduated from Caldwell High School in Columbus before attending Mississippi Uni-versity for Women. She grew up in the Baptist faith at Fairview Baptist Church, where her mother was a charter member.

For many years, she worked with her father and later, her brother at Dill & Norris Co. Since 2000, she was a dedicated volunteer with the Co-lumbus Arts Council before becoming, in 2011, its program manager and Young People’s Artist Series coordinator. There she devoted herself to the community she grew up in.

Her parents passed on to Beverly and her sib-lings an appreciation for music that inspired her to seek out diverse performances to bring to the Golden Triangle. They ranged from Metropolitan Opera soprano Angela Brown, the Vienna Boys Choir, Chanticleer and concert pianist Awadagin Pratt, to a host of songwriters, blues and soul art-ists, including Dan Penn, Paul Thorn and Willie King. She also valued and worked closely with area musicians and artists to showcase their many talents.

Beverly established the Columbus Arts Coun-cil’s Blues for Willie Festival and Possum Town Tales Storytelling Festival and, in recent years, helped spearhead the annual Ghosts & Legends Tours. She was a volunteer coordinator for Mar-ket Street Festival and the Downtown ArtWalk, was active with Columbus Community Theatre and was a former member of the East Columbus Lions Club.

She served on the former Howlin’ Wolf Blues Society board. At the time of her death, she was a member of the Prairie Belt Blues Foundation board, which presents the Black Prairie Blues Festival.

Beverly also pursued a great interest in Native American and Celtic cultures, and had a lifelong love of animals, rarely meeting a stray she didn’t try to adopt.

She felt enriched by the many friends, artists and music-makers who shared her love of per-forming and visual arts in the community she deeply cared about.

Pallbearers will be Tim Adkins, Paul Brady, Bo Jarrett, Fred Kinder, Kenny Knight, Ralph Null and Dudley Swoope.

Memorials may be made to the Columbus Arts Council, P.O. Box 869, Columbus, MS 39703 or the Columbus-Lowndes Humane Society, P.O. Box 85, Columbus, MS 39703.
