Wanted: New managementColumbus-Lowndes Airport searches for new

operator after the last one stalls

By Zack Plairzplair@cdispatch.com

Just about every weekend, Randy Gray gives flying lessons from the Colum-bus-Lowndes Airport on Fabritech Road near Highway 69.

It’s a special place for the 60-year-old Gray. Four decades ago, it’s where he took his written exam to become a li-censed pilot.

But now, he said, he’d love it if he could just get gas there.

“It really needs to be better main-tained,” said Gray, who noted the grass, at times, is so high it obstructs pilots’ view of the runway lights when they are trying to land. “But I’d really like to see the fuel tank full. That’s the main thing.”

Gray, a Brooksville native who works for International Paper in Co-lumbus, is far from the only one who

has noticed the deteri-orated state of affairs at the once buzzing airport operated joint-ly by Columbus and Lowndes County. Ear-lier this month, the city council and county board of supervisors — at the recommendation of the airport board — fired Columbus Avi-ation LLC, the fixed-base operator (FBO) that has managed the airport since August 2014, a little less than a year before the compa-ny’s contract was due to expire.

The airport board will consider proposals from three potential FBOs at its Nov. 29 meeting. In the mean-time, the city, as lead agent for the airport, is maintaining the facility.

David Armstrong, the city chief operations officer who sits on the airport board along with two other city officials and three county offi-cials, said Columbus Aviation owner Claude Hendrickson was routinely letting the aviation fuel tank sit emp-ty.

Columbus Planning Commission tabled discussion Monday on whether to permit an assistant living facility to operate in the North Haven Woods sub-division.

The commission’s decision to delay came mainly due to a lack of document-ed support from neighborhood resi-dents.

More than 50 people piled into the city hall’s first floor reception hall for the meeting Monday, most of whom opposed the plan to convert a three bedroom, two bathroom residence to a residential care facility that would host up to a half-dozen clients.

Cassandra Davenport is requesting the permitted use of the house at 3612 Azalea Circle for commercial purposes. The home is currently listed for sale.

“We are asking for permitted use to

offer them the community-based envi-ronment to live out their final years,” Davenport told commissioners.

Neighborhood covenants allow homes in North Haven Woods to only be used as single-family residences, Building Official Kenny Wiegel said. In order to permit Davenport’s request, at least 51 percent of the 112 homeowners

in phase one of the neighborhood must sign a document supporting the proj-ect, which must then be notarized and brought to the county courthouse.

Since that hasn’t happened, Wiegel said, the Planning Commission cannot yet take action on the matter.

“It was told to me that I could get

White House to restore Acosta’s pass, with a warning

The AssociATed Press

NEW YORK — The Trump administration on Monday abruptly dropped its effort to bar CNN re-porter Jim Acosta from the White House, but warned he could have his cre-dentials pulled again if he doesn’t follow guidelines governing journalists’ be-havior.

The White House said reporters would be per-mitted one question each if called upon at news con-ferences and allowed fol-low-ups only at the discre-tion of the president.

In a letter to Acosta, White House communi-cations director Bill Shine and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said they will be forced to recon-sider the decision “if unpro-fessional behavior occurs.”

CNN said that, as a result, it has dropped its lawsuit against the White House filed on Acosta’s be-half.

“Thanks to everyone for their support,” Acos-ta tweeted. “As I said last Friday ... let’s get back to work.”

The White House initial-ly revoked Acosta’s creden-tials after he and Trump tangled verbally during a Nov. 7 press conference. The administration’s initial reasoning was that Acosta had manhandled a White House intern seeking to take his microphone, but that fell apart after Sanders distributed a doctored vid-eo sped up to make Acosta look more aggressive than he actually was.

Instead, the White House focused on behavior they deemed disrespectful to the president. Acosta and CNN have been frequent targets of a president who has derided coverage of his administration as “fake news” and called the media the enemy of the people.

CNN filed suit to get Acosta’s credentials re-stored, arguing that the action violated the consti-tutional right to freedom of the press and that he had been denied due process. In Washington, D.C. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly cited the due process argu-ment last Friday in granting Acosta a two-week injunc-tion to get back to work.

White house: CNN reporter could have credentials pulled again if he doesn’t follow behavior guidelines

The AssociATed Press

WASHINGTON — Three Senate Democrats filed a lawsuit Monday

arguing that Acting At-torney General Matthew Whitaker’s appointment is unconstitutional and asking a federal judge to remove him.

The suit, filed by Sens. Richard Blumen-thal of Connecticut, Ma-zie Hirono of Hawaii and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, argues that Whitaker’s appoint-ment violates the Con-stitution because he has not been confirmed by the Senate.

Whitaker was chief of

staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and was el-evated to the top job after Sessions was ousted by President Donald Trump on Nov. 7.

The Constitution’s Appointments Clause requires that the Senate confirm all principal of-ficials before they can serve in their office.

The Justice Depart-ment released a legal opinion last week that said Whitaker’s appoint-ment would not violate the clause because he is serving in an acting capacity. The opinion concluded that Whitak-er, even without Senate confirmation, may serve in an acting capacity be-

cause he has been at the department for more than a year at a “suffi-ciently senior pay level.”

“President Trump is denying senators our constitutional obliga-tion and opportunity to do our job: scrutinizing the nomination of our nation’s top law enforce-ment official,” Blumen-thal said in a statement. “The reason is simple: Whitaker would never pass the advice and con-sent test. In selecting a so-called ‘constitutional nobody’ and thwarting every senator’s consti-tutional duty, Trump leaves us no choice but to seek recourse through the courts.”

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has ignited a firestorm of criticism and charges that he is politicizing the mili-tary by faulting a war hero for not capturing al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden sooner.

Trump took shots at re-tired Adm. William McRa-ven in a weekend Fox News interview in which he also asserted that the former Navy SEAL and

former commander of U.S. Special Operations Com-mand was a “backer” of Trump’s 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton, and supporter of President Barack Obama.

“Disgusting,” the George W. Bush admin-istration’s White House counterterrorism adviser, Fran Townsend, wrote Monday on Twitter.

Leon Panetta, who was CIA director during the bin Laden raid and later served as secretary of de-fense, said Trump owed an

apology to McRaven and to all of those in the military and intelligence agencies who played a role in track-ing down bin Laden and carrying out the risky raid into Pakistan. He called Trump’s remark “patently ridiculous.”

“It demonstrates a pro-found lack of understand-ing of how our military and intelligence agencies op-erate and undermines the president’s own standing as commander-in-chief,” Panetta said in a statement.

Mississippi Department of Transportation Northern District Commissioner Mike Tagert said recent efforts to improve the state’s road infrastructure are important steps — but they can’t be the only ones.

Tagert, speaking to the Starkville Rotary Club during its weekly meeting Monday, went over several new funding sources the state Legislature put in place ear-lier this year to increase MDOT’s resources, including the creation of a state lottery and sports betting.

“While they are meaningful and they are helpful, they are not the silver bullet to our infrastructure problems in the state of Mississip-pi,” Tagert said. “We’ve got to make sure that we don’t assume that we’ve checked this box and feel we’ve fixed our problems because, unfortunately, we have not.”

The state lottery, created during the Legislature’s special session earlier in the fall, is expected to net about $80 million per year for infra-structure for the state’s roads, Tag-ert said. Sports betting, which took effect in August, may generate an additional $2 million to $5 million, but Tagert said it’s not clear how much or how consistently.

Together, those provisions could generate up to $85 million per year for the state’s roads, and Tagert added internet sales tax diversions the Legislature approved for city and county governments will send millions more to the local level.

However, Tagert said Mississip-pi has about $400 million in needed road work.

“It’s a step in the right direction, and we’re very positive about that, but it’s not the end-all solution to what we need in our state in order to make sure we’re competitive go-ing forward,” he said.

Tagert said he hopes legislators consider raising Mississippi’s fuel tax, which at 18.4 cents is one of the lowest in the nation. That tax funds MDOT’s $960 million budget. How-ever, he acknowledged that talk is often a controversial issue for the state.

“The gas tax represents a stable funding source for infrastructure in

our state, both local and state,” he said. “It’s a dependable source of funding based on usage. There’s a reason most states rely on state and federal fuel tax for the crux of their maintenance program.”

However, because of the lack of funding, Tagert said MDOT has taken a position of maintaining Mis-sissippi’s current roads, rather than building new ones.

“If you look around the state of Mississippi, unfortunately, you’ll see we are building very, very few new capacity roads around our state,” Tagert said. “If you see one, it’s probably attached to a second-ary, alternative source of funding related to an industry location or federal funding. It’s not very popu-lar, but I think it is the right thing to do, just to maintain the system that has been put in place first be-yond building additional roads that would need additional dollars.”

ProjectsTagert spoke about several proj-

ects, including work along Highway 12 in Starkville. The two-phase proj-ect, which began in February 2017 on the west side of Starkville and has moved east, is nearly complete. The work has included repaving Highway 12 and installing medians along the middle of the road.

Tagert said he expects it will take another 30-60 days to adjust traffic light timing on the highway.

“We’ve got to recount all the turning movements now that the project is in place and tweak the signalization to make sure we op-timize that,” he said. “If you come

down Spring Street trying to hit (Highway 12), you’ve run into that. If you come down Jackson or Mont-gomery, you’re running into these signal problems where you only have a signal for a left turn for three or four cars. We’re recounting that as we speak to try to re-tweak that as much as possible.”

Overall, Tagert said he believes traffic flows along Highway 12 more smoothly than it did before.

He also said, in response to a Rotarian’s question about the me-dians, that MDOT will share data on accident rates on the highway when it has meaningful data to do so.

The medians along Highway 12 were included in an effort to reduce cross-traffic crashes along High-way 12. In 2016, before the project began, Tagert said Highway 12 had one of the worst crash rates of any commercial route north of Jackson.

“We know that the number of accidents have been dramatically decreased,” Tagert said. “But our data, and what we based the project on, was based on five years of data. We don’t feel comfortable talking about that until we have a compara-ble amount of time, statistically, to compare it to.”

Tagert also said MDOT is pre-paring to do an overlay project on Highway 182 West from the High-way 25 bypass to Highway 82.

MDOT is also in the early stag-es of preparing new traffic signals on Highway 182 at the intersection with East Lee Boulevard, by the Mississippi Highway Patrol Station, and at the intersection with Old Mayhew Road.

JACKSON — Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith and her Democratic challenger, Mike Espy, meet for their only debate Tuesday night in a contest where the incum-bent’s verbal gaffes have dredged up strong emotions about Missis-sippi’s history of racial violence.

Senate races rarely gain national attention in this deeply conserva-tive state. But this matchup — the last major race of 2018 midterms — has drawn scrutiny following Hyde-Smith’s caught-on-video remarks at separate events about “public hanging” and making it “just a little more difficult” for liberals to vote.

President Donald Trump reiter-ated his support for Hyde-Smith on Monday ahead of a campaign visit to Mississippi next week. Mean-while, former Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Espy, a former congressman and U.S. agriculture

secretary who is seeking to become Mississippi’s first African-Ameri-can senator since Reconstruction.

Hyde-Smith was appointed to the Senate to temporarily succeed longtime Sen. Thad Cochran, who retired in April amid health con-cerns. She is the first woman to rep-resent Mississippi in Congress.

Hyde-Smith and Espy each re-ceived about 41 percent of the vote when four candidates were on the ballot Nov. 6. If she wins the Nov. 27 runoff, Hyde-Smith would give Republicans a 53-47 majority in the U.S. Senate.

MERIDIAN — The second-ranking member of Mississippi’s House of Representatives pleaded no contest to drunk-driving charges Monday but won’t be convicted under a diversion program for first-time offenders.

The Meridian Star reports Municipal Judge Robbie Jones agreed to place state Rep. Greg Snowden in a nonadjudication program. Snowden, a Republican, is House speaker pro tem.

Offered to first-time DUI defenders including Snowden, the status means his driver’s license is suspended for 120 days, but he can drive using an interlock device which measures alcohol on start-ing a vehicle.

Snowden was arrested in September after re-fusing to take a DUI test after rear-ending anoth-er vehicle at a traffic signal. Snowden claimed at the time he wasn’t drunk and hit the car because he was texting and looking at his phone about the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination hearings in Washington.

Police Chief Benny Dubose said his officers responded to a call of an individual driving errati-cally and running people off the road. When they arrived on scene, he said officers smelled alcohol and Snowden failed a field sobriety test. No one was injured.

The 64-year-old said he has bad knees and was unable to walk properly for the field sobriety test.

Rumors swirl around New Hope shooting deathThe death of 20-year-old

Tyler Hall is a tragedy, and that is something everyone can agree on.

It may be the only thing people can agree on as speculation and rumor swirl around the Nov. 10 shooting death. This paper has per-haps received more whispers, calls and emails concerning this case than any other in recent history.

Lowndes County coroner Greg Merchant confirmed

Hall died from a single gunshot wound to the head on the evening of Nov. 10 at a residence on Phillips Hill Road in New Hope, and the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office ruled the death as accidental and self-inflicted. The LCSO said the death occurred after Hall and others were playing a form of Russian roulette. No charges have been filed, though as of this morning the investiga-tion into the shooting death

remains open.Before the story broke in

the media, the rumor mill around this incident was run-ning. We have heard accu-sations against nearly every involved party, accompanied by all sorts of conjecture and conspiracy theories.

The Dispatch has also been criticized by what some people believe to be an effort to cover up the true story. We stand by our reporting to date. As new facts emerge,

we will continue to follow the story and report it according to the available information.

Outside of law enforce-ment and the coroner, our reporters have talked to multiple people close to the incident. No credible story line that contradicts the offi-cial ruling has yet emerged.

Reporting unsubstantiated rumors is helpful to no one and, in fact, can only produce harm by inflicting more pain on the families and friends

affected by this tragedy.Given the nature of the

death, it is understandable that initial findings are difficult to accept, but we urge patience and restraint until more details are known through the release of the state medical examination report. It is far better to wait until the facts emerge to make judgments.

That, too, is something everyone should be able to agree on.

Voice of the peopleWar on drug abuse

Being a member of the “Drug Abuse and Prevention” task force, I have been educated to this scourge in our community. One thing I have learned is, legalizing any type of drugs is not the answer. It is proven that marijuana is the gateway drug to other more potent drugs. Those that support the legalization of marijua-na would not agree with me, but there are facts that will support my views.

I read Mr. Emmerich’s article in the Novem-ber 19th edition of The Dispatch with an open mind and great interest. From the information I have received, the data quoted in the article from Colorado is a little misleading. Legalizing a substance does not decrease it’s demand or usage. I will agree that in Mississippi, we have a rehabilitation problem along with a preven-tion problem. While serving on the drug task force I have learned we have a drug problem in our prisons that needs to be addressed. Our elected officials should be held accountable for the problems in our penal systems. Maybe laws should be amended or improved in the drug sentencing laws. I don’t have the legal knowledge to know. What I do know is public education and awareness is needed.

What we are doing now is not working. The problem cannot be ignored and there is not a quick fix or easy solution. Public input and con-cern is needed. The police need our help. See something, say something. Let’s work together to remove this scourge from our city.

Avoiding apathy between elections

That number is certainly stunning when considering that fewer than 82 million total voted in 2014 during the last midterm elec-tion.

The high turnout speaks to the climate of politics in the United States, and the way in which both sides of the political aisle have responded to various issues since Donald Trump was elected president in 2016.

Whether voters classify themselves as Republican, Democrat or Independent, everyone has an opinion on what President Trump’s policies are or aren’t doing for the United States and, likewise, most are active-ly engaged and invested in what the future holds.

Regardless of the midterm results being to each individual’s personal taste, a hearty round of applause has to be given to Ameri-cans simply taking charge and letting their voices be heard in massive numbers.

It’s easy - terrifyingly so - to be apathetic about local, state and federal elections. In a country of 326 million people, the voice and the vote of one person might seem irrelevant, but when several million shrug their shoul-ders and don’t head to the polls, the impact of indifference can have vast repercussions.

The foundation of America was built on everyone using their voice in bring change, and far too often in this country we take democracy - and the right to vote that comes with it - for granted.

It is imperative that we, as a country, always remember the importance and the sacrifices made for all of us to have these rights.

But it goes so far beyond the voting booth, it will be two more years before the United States has another major election. We would encourage everyone to stay involved and interested in what is happening on the federal level, and to keep an ear to the ground in the months between elections.

Remember what candidates do and don’t do, hold them accountable for their action or inaction and always remember that we all have the power to change the country.

PoLitics

Will Democratic rebels dethrone Nancy? After adding at least

37 seats and taking control of the House by running on change, con-gressional Democrats appear to be about to elect as their future lead-ers three of the oldest faces in the party.

Nancy Pelosi of Cali-fornia and Steny Hoyer of Maryland have led the House Democrats for 16 years. For 12 years, they have been joined in the leadership triumvirate by Jim Clyburn of South Carolina.

If these three emerge as speaker, majority leader and majority whip, all three Democratic leaders will be older than our oldest president, Ronald Reagan, was when he went home after two terms.

By 2020’s election, all three House leaders would be over 80.

Was this gerontocracy what America voted for when it award-ed Democrats control of the U.S. House?

Hardly. Some Democrats won in 2018 by pledging not to vote for Pelosi as speaker, so unpopular is she in their districts. And if all who said they want new leadership were to vote for new leaders on the House floor Jan. 3 — when the speaker will be chosen — Pelosi would fall short. The race for speaker could then break wide-open.

Some 16 Democrats vowed Mon-day to oppose Pelosi on the House floor, one shy of being enough to block her return to the speakership after eight years.

In a letter that went public, the 16 declared: “Our majority came on the backs of candidates who said that they would support new lead-ership because voters in hard-won districts, and across the country, want to see real change in Wash-ington. We promised to change the status quo, and we intend to deliver on that promise.”

The likelihood of the rebellion succeeding, however, remains slim, for no credible challenger to Pelosi has yet announced.

What explains the timidity in the Democratic caucus?

Pelosi punishes ene-mies. Democrats calling for new leaders have already been branded as sexists with the hashtag “#FiveWhiteGuys.”

Yet evidence is mounting that a Pelo-si speakership would prove to be an unhappy close to her remarkable career.

One week after the election, 150 protesters

from the Sunrise Movement and Justice Democrats blocked Pelosi’s House office to demand action on climate change. They were joined by the youngest member of the incoming Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Pelosi declared herself “inspired” by the protesters, 51 of whom were arrested. She urged police to let them exercise their democratic rights and pledged to revive the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, which Republicans abolished.

Dismissing the committee as “toothless,” the protesters demand-ed that Pelosi’s party commit to bringing an end to the use of all fos-sil fuels and to accepting no more campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry.

Not going to happen with Pelosi as speaker. For when it comes to the leftist agenda of liberal Democrats from safe districts — Medicare for all, abolish ICE, impeach Trump — Pelosi would pigeonhole such measures to avoid the party’s being dragged too far to the left for 2020.

And if the House were to pass radical measures, the bills would die in the Senate or be vetoed by the president.

Moreover, within Pelosi’s party in the House, the various factions are going to be demanding a new distribution of the seats of power, of which there are only so many to go around.

Democratic women, who won more seats than ever, will want more, as will the Congressional Black Caucus and the Hispanics. It will most likely be white male Democrats, that shrinking cohort,

who will be the principal losers in the new House.

That adage about Democrats being a collection of warring tribes gathered together in anticipation of common plunder has never seemed truer.

What, then, does the new year promise?

As it becomes apparent that there is little common ground for bipartisan legislation on Capitol Hill — except perhaps on infra-structure, and that would take a long time to enact — the cable news channels will look elsewhere for the type of action that causes ratings to soar. That action will inevitably come in the clashes between Trump and his enemies and the media that sustain them.

Out of the House — with Adam Schiff, Elijah Cummings, Maxine Waters and Jerrold Nadler as new chairs — will come a blizzard of subpoenas and a series of confron-tations with witnesses.

From special counsel Robert Mueller’s office will almost surely come new indictments, trials and the long-anticipated report, which will go to the Justice Department, where Matthew Whitaker is acting attorney general.

Then there is the presidential race of 2020, where the Democratic Party has yet another gerontocracy problem.

By spring, there could be 20 Democrats who will have an-nounced for president. And five of the most prominent mentioned — Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, John Kerry, Joe Biden and Mike Bloomberg — are also over 70, with Elizabeth Warren turning 70 in June.

While some candidates will be granted airtime because they are famous, the lesser-known will fol-low the single sure path to the cable studios and the weekend TV shows — the trashing of Trump.

Trading barbs is not Nancy Pelo-si’s kind of fight.

Roman HudsonRichmond Roman Hudson, age 46, left this

earth too soon in Toronto, Canada on November 9, 2018 to be with the Lord. He was born March 13, 1972 in Winston County, Louisville, Mississippi, and was the only son of Dr. and Mrs. Bobby James (Belinda Wright) Hudson. He resided in Atlanta, Georgia and San Francisco, California.

He spent his childhood in Louisville, Greenwood and Columbus, Mississippi and graduated Valedictorian of Lee High School in Columbus of 1990 and Mississippi State University School of Architecture of 1996. He began his career in architecture with Robert Adams in Jackson, Mississippi, and furthered that career with Norman Askins’ prestigious architecture firm in Atlanta, Georgia. Roman was so successful at his profession he opened his own firm for selective clients from the east to the west coast and was in the process of completing a magnificent home in Greenwich, Connecticut at his death. His homes have been published in magazines such as House Beautiful, Renovation Style, and Kitchen and Bath. He was a creative, talented designer and drew the plans for many pieces of furniture for the interior spaces of the homes he designed. He loved antiques and architectural elements and often incorporated them in many of the houses he built for his clients. He was born to be an architect.

Roman loved God first, He was a Christian. He loved to sing; and sang in the choir at First Baptist Church of Jackson, Mississippi, and St. Marks Methodist Church, Atlanta, Georgia. He loved family and was always there to share special occasions. He never failed to plan adventures—trips to the Georgia mountains where he had discovered waterfalls while hiking and kayaking, trips to little towns where he found architectural gems of houses and antiques, trips to New York where he introduced family to new cultures and foods and trips just to hunt for just the right antique. He never failed to remember his mother or grandmothers on their special days and if he could not be there in person, there were always flowers, beautiful flowers. He loved body building and staying fit, and was the muse for artists’ canvasses and portraits. He loved his Scot heritage and embraced this by wearing the traditional kilts and sporrans. He often attended the Highland Scottish Games. He was generous and loving and gave to many charities and fund raising events, especially Toys for Tots. He had friends from the east coast to the west coast and internationally and made it his goal to make them feel welcome and trust in human kindness. Mere words on a page cannot begin to express the rareness and uniqueness of his life and its effect on those whose lives he touched.

He is survived by his parents; grandmother, Mrs. Colleen Wright, of Louisville, Mississippi; his paternal father, Mr. Richmond Watkins (Mary Charles) of Sylacauga, Alabama; and half-sister, Ashley Watkins of Brandon, Mississippi; Uncles Mr. Charles M. (Brenda) Wright; and Mr. John S. (Sylvia) Wright all of Louisville, Mississippi; Aunts Mrs. Helen (Jerry) Webb of Noxapater, Mississippi; and Mrs. Beverly (Clarence) Kelley of Louisville; great-aunts Mrs. Margie Hudson and Mrs. Grace Eaves both of Louisville; and Mrs. Doris Steeds of Indianola, Mississippi; and Aunt Mrs. Glenda (Walter) Clemmons of Ridgeland, Mississippi; and Uncle Mr. Michael (Terry) Watkins of Philadelphia and cousins whom he loved as brothers and sisters. He is also survived by his dearest friend and soul mate Mr. Andy Clifford of Toronto, Canada.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather Mr. John Wesley Wright and paternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. James (Maudie) Hudson all of Louisville and Mr. Rufus Watkins (Lessie) and (Mildred) of Columbus, Mississippi; and an aunt Mrs. Jean Whitt (Butch) of Louisville, Mississippi.

By SliM SMiTHssmith@cdispatch.com

A much-abbrevi-ated absentee voting period has started for the Nov. 27 runoff election, which will decide a U.S. Senate seat and two chan-cery court judge po-sitions.

With just a three-week period between the Nov. 6 general elec-tion and the runoff, the absentee voting period was further delayed in some areas as election officials had to wait to see which candidates had emerged in the runoff for the

District 14, Place 1 chancery judge position.

Ballots were finally printed Fri-day, which allowed circuit clerks to begin sending out absentee ballots.

“We started sending out ballots for absentee requests on Friday,” Lowndes County Circuit Clerk Te-resa Barksdale said. “We’re getting them out as fast as we can.”

Mail in ballots will be accepted until 5 p.m. Monday.

For those who wish to vote absen-tee at circuit clerk offices, the op-portunities are limited. Circuit clerk offices are closed Thursday and Fri-day for the Thanksgiving holiday. Voters can vote at the circuit clerk’s office Tuesday and Wednesday be-

tween 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and Satur-day from 8 a.m. until noon.

Voters can cast ballots for the U.S. Senate runoff between Cindy Hyde-Smith and Mike Espy. Voters who live in the Chancery District 14, Pace 1 will choose between Rodney Faver and Lee Ann Turner. Voters who live in Chancery District 14, Place 2, will choose between Joe Studdard and Carrie Jourdan.

Voters must present a valid voter ID, such as a driver’s license, stu-dent ID or any other state-issued ID.

A chancery district map and more information on absentee voting is available at the Mississippi Sec-retary of State’s website at http://www.sos.ms.gov/pollingplace.

Carjackingcontinued from page 1a

Cox then reportedly jumped into the driver’s seat of her 2010 Buick La-crosse while she was still filling the tires. When she tried to get him out of the car, he put the car in re-

verse, knocking her over, before fleeing.

The victim injured her right knee and elbow during the fall, though au-thorities did not indicate her injuries were serious

enough to go to the hos-pital.

Within minutes, au-thorities had been noti-fied to be on the lookout for the car. Cox was ar-rested when a Columbus

police officer spotted the Buick on Highway 45 and made a traffic stop.

Cox is in custody at Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office. His bond has not been set.

signatures and that would allow me to get an amend-ment for that particular property,” Davenport said. “I wasn’t told I would have to have that complet-ed by this meeting. It’s a lengthy process.”

The board unanimous-ly voted to table the dis-cussion until 51 percent of homeowners agree to Davenport’s plan for the property.

“In the future, I will not place an applicant on the agenda unless I have a document stating the covenants had been changed,” Wiegel said.

“ F r a n k l y , there wasn’t any need for tonight’s m e e t i n g , b e c a u s e the cove-nants had not been changed. The thinking was, at or before tonight’s meeting, the covenants would have been legally changed, but that wasn’t the case.”

He added due to the public concern and out-cry, provided the permit use moves forward, the entire neighborhood will

be notified. Typically, only homeowners within 160 feet of the request will re-ceive a notice of a permit use.

Monday night, the board received a petition with 69 signatures in op-position of the assisted liv-ing facility. Several pres-ent Monday had signed that petition.

Nancy Bragg, a resi-dent opposed to the proj-ect, came to the meeting last night in hopes of voic-ing her opinion. If the mat-ter is brought before the board again, she said she will attend and speak up.

“It’s a residential n e i g hb o r -hood and that’s what it’s meant to be,” Bragg said. “We want it to remain a neighborhood and not an assisted living neighborhood. I think the majority has spoken and we don’t want this hap-pening in our neighbor-hood.”

Davenport declined to speak to The Dispatch af-ter Monday’s meeting.

Airportcontinued from page 1a

Jet fuel is always available, but since the airport’s runway is 500 feet too short to support jet traffic, that tank sits largely unused.

In September, Arm-strong said, he urged Hendrickson to refill the aviation fuel tank, re-minding him such mainte-nance was specified in the contract. Hendrickson complied, but weeks later he had allowed the tank to empty again.

When Armstrong con-tacted Hendrickson a sec-ond time, the FBO owner indicated he could not continue managing the airport to the contract’s specifications.

“It was a very amicable split,” Armstrong said. “I like Claude a lot. He’s a nice guy. He just lost interest in managing the airport.”

Falling on hard times

The Columbus-Lown-des Airport boasts a 4,500-foot runway and hangar rental space to house up to 27 aircraft. Pilots keep the hangars at near capacity, Armstrong said, mostly with sin-gle-engine planes.

In just the last five years, the city and coun-ty have used more than $800,000 in Federal Avi-ation Administration grants to improve the airport — ranging from airfield drainage projects and obstruction removal to renovations to the ter-minal — for which local entities only had to pro-vide 5 percent in match-ing funds. FAA provided 90 percent and the state of Mississippi provided 5 percent.

According to informa-tion The Dispatch found on the AirNav website,

the airport averages 33 flights per day, 52 percent of which are transient general aviation, 44 per-cent local general aviation and the remainder classi-fied as either military or air taxi.

Despite the invest-ments, hangar rental and use, airport board mem-bers say circumstances and a string of bad luck, especially where FBOs are concerned, continue to hamper the airport’s viability.

“We need a fixed-base operator who has a knowl-edge and passion for what they are doing,” said air-port board president Jeff Smith, who is also a coun-ty supervisor. “Recently we just haven’t had that.”

The city and county pay the FBO, as an indepen-dent contractor, $40,000 annually to manage the airport. The city /county take on major renovation expenses, mostly through grants, as well as pay util-ity costs. The FBO takes on daily maintenance and operations, and in turn keeps revenue from fuel sales and hangar rental.

Generally, Armstrong said, an FBO contract is more cost-effective than hiring internal staff to run the airport. Now, the city and county share a rough-ly $70,000 annual budget dedicated to the airport.

“If we tried to staff it ourselves, it would take a manager and two as-sistants earning wages and benefits,” Armstrong

said. “That would balloon the budget to probably $150,000.”

The Taloney family managed the airport suc-cessfully for more than two decades before quit-ting the gig when its last contract expired 12 years ago, Armstrong said. Since then, there’s been a revolving door of FBOs, all of which came in with big ideas that never came to fruition.

Some FBO busts were more prominent than oth-ers. Billy Scarborough, who had the contract be-fore Hendrickson, was ar-rested in May for embez-zling 2,000 gallons of fuel with a Public Works fuel card in 2014.

Smith said an FBO with integrity, solid ad-ministrative skills and a good rapport with pilots would help things get back on track. He would also like to see someone local, as the last two have resided out of the area.

“When we hire some-one from out of the area, it’s hard for me to envision they would have the same concerns as a local opera-tor would have,” he said.

Profitability issues, infrastructure needs

Even the best FBO would face challenges at the local airport, Arm-strong said.

First, most commercial air traffic goes through Golden Triangle Region-al Airport, which offers multi-passenger Delta jet

flights to Atlanta and is lo-cated just 10 miles west of Columbus.

Plus, as both Smith and Armstrong noted, the hangars need updating to expand rental potential, and the runway needs to be lengthened to accom-modate jet traffic in order to promote more profit-able use.

“We want an airport pilots can use general-ly without restriction,” Smith said. “Right now, we have a number of re-strictions.”

A standard FAA grant might pay for much of the runway project, but grants to help with han-gar updates require a 50-percent local match, which Armstrong said the city cannot afford right now.

“Honestly, as it is, there’s not a lot of money to be made at the airport,” Armstrong said. “That’s the biggest issue when it comes to finding an FBO.”

Closing the airport, though, could be the cost-liest option of all. FAA grants require recipients to keep funded projects in use for their “useful life” or 20 years, depending on the project. If the city and county closed the airport before then, the entities would have to repay FAA the depreciated value of all federal grant funds the airport received as far back as 1998 — a cost that could be in the millions.

Also, Armstrong said, it would be a shame to shutter an airport he feels is still viable.

“We’ve had some strug-gles out there. I’m not going to lie,” Armstrong said. “It’s a difficult busi-ness, but I believe we have a nice airport that has so much potential.”

LAS VEGAS — As a freshman, Arizona State’s Kimani Lawrence made three 3-pointers.

Monday night, the sophomore drained three

from long range — part of a 22-point performance — including

the game winner with 33 seconds, to lead the Sun Devils to a 72-67 victory over No. 15 Mississippi State in the heavyweight bracket of the MGM Main Event.

“I’ve completely recon-structed my shot, from the base, to the release, to getting it all in one motion, I’ve worked really hard for it,” said Lawrence, who is 9 of 19 from 3-point range through the first four games of the season. “Credit to Remy (Martin) to trusting me. He hit me, I hit the shot. Stepped up, made a big-time play for the team, for the program.”

Luguentz Dort added 17 points and nine rebounds, while Remy Martin scored 16 for the Sun Devils, who will meet Utah State in the championship game on Wednesday.

MSU, which will face Saint Mary’s in the con-solation game, was led by Aric Holman with 22 points and 10 rebounds.

Arizona State, which climbed as high as No. 3 after opening last season 12-0, improved to 4-0, while handing the Bull-dogs their first loss of the season (3-1).

The Sun Devils held off a second-half rally by Mis-sissippi State, which tied the game at 65 when Nick Weatherspoon drained a long-range jumper just in-side the 3-point line with one minute left in the game.

“They have great size, they’re very physical, they played big — which is dif-ficult for us — I thought they just pounded us,” Mississippi State coach Ben Howland said.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama football players Jerry Jeudy (wide receiver), Tua Tagov-ailoa (quarterback), Jonah Williams (offensive lineman), Quinnen Williams (defensive line-man), and Dylan Moses (linebacker) were se-lected as finalists Monday for national awards.

Jeudy is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which is presented annually to the nation’s top receiver. The sophomore is 13th nationally with an average of 19.6 yards per reception and is tied for 10th in the Football Bowl Subdivision with 10 touchdown catches this season. Jeudy is third in the country in yards per route run at 3.5 and fifth in yards after catch average at 8.1, according to Pro Football Focus. He has a team-leading 1,002 yards on 51 receptions in 2018, which ranks No. 6 on the Alabama single-season receiving yards list. He is Alabama’s first 1,000-yard receiver since Calvin Ridley in 2015 (1,045 yards on 89 receptions).

JACKSON — Ole Miss football wide receiver A.J. Brown and Mississippi College running back Tiberias Lampkin were named Monday one of 10 nominees for the Conerly Trophy, the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum announced Monday.

The award is given to the most outstanding college football player in the state of Mississippi. The winner will be announced Tuesday, Nov. 27, at the Country Club of Jackson.

Brown, who won the Conerly Trophy in 2017, will look to join Eli Manning and Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott as the only players to win the award twice.

A junior out of Starkville, Brown has re-writ-ten the receiving record books in his three years at Ole Miss. He stands as the all-time leading re-ceiver in Ole Miss history with 2,923 yards. He has 12 100-yard receiving performances during his career, also a program record.

Brown has amassed 1,259 yards this sea-son, breaking his single-season school record of 1,252, set in 2017. He’s the only player in Ole Miss history with two 1,000-yard seasons. He is one reception shy of the all-time single-sea-son mark of 82, set by Laquon Treadwell in 2015.

STARKVILLE — A year ago, Joe Moorhead watched the Mississippi State and Ole Miss foot-ball teams in the Battle for the Golden Egg from his home in State College, Pennsylvania, but he see the injury that changed the game.

That day was his son Mason’s birthday, so he went to Target to buy

him an Apple Watch. The Black Friday crowds kept him from getting back until the second half, well after Nick Fitzgerald suf-fered a broken ankle.

At 6:30 p.m. Thursday (ESPN), Moorhead will experience the rivalry that created that injury.

Moorhead has heard a lot about the rivalry in his first year as MSU’s head

coach. Fitzgerald is also hearing a lot about it, but he doesn’t want to delve into the memories.

“That’s one of those things in sports. It hap-pens,” Fitzgerald said. “For a long time, I don’t think it’s been particular-ly on purpose, but from what I’ve seen through the season I’m probably going to have both ankles spatted, just to be sure.

WEST POINT — When the West Point High football team needed someone to step up in its game against Lafayette County in the quarterfinals of the Mississip-pi High School Activities Associa-tion (MHSAA) Class 5A playoffs.

A familiar jersey number ended up helping the Green Wave keep their sea-son alive.

Hybrid athlete Brandon Harris, who wears No. 2, exploded offensively in the second half. Just like Justin Cox, a two-time state champion in 2009 and 2010, and Marcus Murphy, who won state

titles in 2016 and 2017, Harris earned postseason glory Friday to add to the tradition of the jersey number.

“The guys who have come be-fore, Marcus Murphy and many others, have mentored me to this position, and gave me the rock to carry,” Harris said. “They have taught me a lot of what I know on

this football field. It is a blessing.”The junior rushed for 76 of his 124

yards in the third and fourth quarters and scored West Point’s final two touch-downs in the second half in a 27-20 victo-ry at McCallister Field.

For his accomplishments, Harris is

Mississippi StateWomen’s golf team announces signees

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State women’s golf coach Ginger Brown-Lemm announced Monday the signing of Ashley Gilliam, Ally Williams, and Abbey Daniel to the program.

Gilliam, who is Manchester, Tennessee, is ranked 14th in her class and 30th among all junior players in the world. She was selected as a 2018 Rolex Junior All-American and 2018 Tennessee All Mid-State.

“Ashley is as good a fit as we would hope to find,” Brown-Lemm said. “She is extremely talented, a seasoned competitor and ready to make an immediate impact in our program. She has multiple wins on every major junior tour and is the best player to come out of the state of Tennessee since Aubree Jones.”

Williams, who is from Athens, Alabama, is the second-ranked player in Alabama and a top-100 recruit in the 2019 class.

“Ally is a competitor to the core,” Brown-Lemm said. “She is super dedicated to the game and will make significant strides in our program. She has a strong team of support and professionals, so we look forward to her playing quickly.”

Men’s College BasketballDuke still at No. 1 as Villanova tumbles from Top 25

Two of college basketball’s bluebloods remained firmly entrenched atop the AP Top 25 after a week of easy wins, while two more tumbled all the way out after a week filled with defeats.

One of them happens to be the reigning national champion.While top-ranked Duke and No. 2 Kansas did little to hurt their

status as early national title contenders, Villanova and Syracuse slid all the way out of the Top 25 on Monday. The Wildcats lost a rematch of last year’s championship game with Michigan, then lost in overtime to Furman on Saturday to give coach Jay Wright’s team back-to-back losses for the first time in five years.

The Wildcats had risen to No. 8 last week. They were among those receiving votes this week. The Wildcats are trying to replace key players Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Omari Spellman after last year’s championship run. But while a strong recruiting class is trying to find its way, the Wildcats are off to a 2-2 start for the first time since 1997. They’re also the first national champion to start 2-2 since UCLA in 1995.

From Special Reports

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Junior Cierra Johnson scored a career-high 24 points Monday night to lead the Alabama women’s basketball team to a 76-56 victory against Clemson at Coleman Coliseum.

Johnson was 8-for-11 from the field and had four r e b o u n d s

and three assists. Junior Jasmine Walker had 15 points and went 3-for-6 from 3-point range. Se-nior Shaquera Wade had 13 points, six assists, and four rebounds. Freshman De’Sha Benjamin had 10 points and eight rebounds.

“I’m really proud of our team,” Alabama coach Kristy Curry said. “We showed great effort, tre-mendous energy, and toughness. That is some-thing we challenged our players with during the past two days after coming back from our road trip. We have got to continue to get better, and I thought the past two days we really fo-cused on that and I think it showed tonight. I appre-ciate our crowd and we are all thankful to be a part of the Alabama family and we appreciate their support.”

Alabama used an 8-0 run to take a 12-10 lead with 5 minutes, 14 sec-onds to play in the open-ing quarter. The Crimson Tide then buckled down defensively and held the Tigers scoreless for more than six minutes and forced nine turnovers. Al-abama led 17-12 after one quarter.

With the score tied at 19, Walker and Johnson hit back-to-back 3-pointer to make it 25-19. Alabama finished the half on an

11-0 run to take a 41-29 halftime lead. Johnson had 18 points in the first 20 minutes.

After building a 45-28 ad-vantage with 8:13 remain-ing in the third quarter, Alabama made six-straight field goals to extend its lead to 58-32 with 3:49 left to play in the period.

In the final quarter, Al-abama grabbed its largest lead of the game at 69-42 with 6:49 to play.

Alabama held Clemson to 33 percent (23-for-69) shooting, while it shot 49 percent (27-for-55) from the field. The Crimson Tide was 10-for-19 (53 per-cent) from 3-point range.

Alabama will play host to Grambling State at 2 p.m. Friday at Coleman Coliseum.

n Notre Dame tops AP Top 25, South Carolina drops from top 10: At New York, South Carolina’s run in the top 10 is over.

The Gamecocks fell out of the first 10 teams in the AP women’s basketball poll on Monday after being ranked that high for the past 89 consecutive weeks dating back to Jan. 6, 2014. It was the third longest ac-tive streak behind UConn and Notre Dame.

South Carolina was ranked 13th by the 31-member national me-dia panel after losing to then-No. 9 Maryland on Sunday by 24 points. The Terrapins moved up two spots to No. 7.

The top six teams re-mained unchanged with Notre Dame a unanimous No. 1 pick. The Irish were followed by UConn, Or-egon, Baylor, Louisville and Mississippi State.

Stanford, Oregon State and Texas round out the first 10 teams in the poll.

By GREG BEACHAMThe Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Even before the fourth lead change of the fourth quarter, well before the 1,001st yard of combined offense was tallied, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams already knew this was a classic.

Two powerhouse NFL teams at the peak of their brilliance dueled deep into the night at an ecstat-ic Coliseum, racking up eye-popping numbers that stretched the box score and credulity.

There were 14 touch-downs, including three by defensive players. There were 56 first downs. There were 105 points, with 50 from each team — the first time that’s ever hap-pened in an NFL game.

In the final moments, the Rams did just enough to leave with a win they’ll savor for years.

And if these teams meet again at the Super Bowl in two-and-a-half months, the Chiefs will remember the sting from coming up just short.

Jared Goff threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Gerald Everett for the go-ahead score with 1 min-ute, 49 seconds to play, and the Rams outlasted the Chiefs for a 54-51 vic-tory Monday night in a showdown that somehow surpassed the hype.

“It was a crazy game, crazy game,” said Goff, who passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns and even ran for another score. “It seemed like whoever had the ball at the end was

going to win the game. There was times where we felt like we were going to put the knife in and fin-ish them, and there were times where it was the other way around, where we had to claw back into it.”

Patrick Mahomes passed for a career-high 478 yards with six touch-down passes in his latest jaw-dropping effort for the Chiefs (9-2), but he also threw two interceptions in the final 1:18 as the Rams (10-1) claimed the high-est-scoring Monday night game ever played.

The highest-scoring game in the league this season was an offensive fantasia of ingenious scheming from master-mind coaches Andy Reid and Sean McVay — along with 21 combined penal-ties to keep things inter-esting. The second half was an extended thriller featuring 59 combined points.

Both teams scratched out fourth-quarter leads, only to see them evapo-rate. Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill with a 73-yard touch-down pass just when the Rams appeared to be pulling away early in the fourth, and Goff replied with two late TD passes to Everett , a backup tight end with 31 career catch-es before this game.

“It was a whirlwind,” McVay said. “I feel like I might need a couple of beverages to relax to-night, but it was great. This is what you love so much about the game.”

Prep PlayerContinued from Page 1B

The Dispatch’s Prep Play-er of the Week.

“When we went to half-time, coach let me know I was going to get the ball in my hands,” Harris said. “He told me to lead this team. We got better and better as we played through the game. We have things to clean up by Friday, but it was a bless-ing on Friday night.”

West Point (12-1), the two-time reigning MHSAA Class 5A State champion, will continue its pursuit of a three-peat when it plays host to Olive Branch at 7 p.m. Friday in West Point. It is the Green Wave’s fourth-straight appearance in the North Half championship game and a rematch of last sea-son’s North Half champi-onship game.

Harris helped the Green Wave rally from

a 14-6 halftime deficit. He returned the opening kickoff 26 yards and used his longest run of the night — a 25-yarder — to set up Kameron Martin’s 6-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter.

Harris continued his heroics out of Green Wave’s “beast-cat” for-mation, which utilizes a direct snap and pulling offensive lineman and fullbacks to clear space for the ball-carrier.

“(The formation is) beast. That is what I am, a beast,” Harris said. “When you see the beast-cat formation, you are go-ing to see deuce.”

Harris caught snap after snap and stayed behind his blockers and shoulder pads to pound the defense. His 11 car-ries after the intermis-sion averaged 7 yards per

touch.“As a staff, we know

Brandon Harris can carry the workload but that can be said about all our run-ning backs,” West Point coach Chris Chambless said. “When their number is called, they answer it.”

Harris scored a 6-yard touchdown by breaking two tackles and diving into the end zone on third-and-goal with 3 minutes, 8 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The score set up Jake Chambless’ two-point conversion pass to Sema’J Harris that tied the game at 20.

In the opening minute of the fourth quarter, Har-ris capped a four-play se-ries with his 7-yard carry. He utilized three blockers to barrel across the goal line and give West Point its only advantage of the night with 11:20 to go.

“We had to keep push-ing for the lead and finally got through in the fourth quarter,” said Harris, who also scored in the sec-ond quarter. “Lafayette is a very good team, and I know they gave us their best shot.”

In the MHSAA Class 5A opening round, Har-ris rushed 12 times for 124 yards and scored two touchdowns — one on the ground and one through the air — in a 55-27 victo-ry against Canton.

Through 13 games, Harris has 144 carries for 872 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also has completed six passes for 120 yards and two touch-downs and caught 15 passes for 133 yards.

Against Lafayette, Harris eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for his career (1,086).

AwardsContinued from Page 1B

Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium, Abram had a career-high 12 tack-les, three-and-a-half for a loss, one-and-a-half sacks, two quarterback hurries, a forced fumble, and a fum-ble recovery.

Abram is the first MSU player to record 10 or more tackles and three-and-a-half tackles for loss in a game since All-America linebacker Benardrick McKinney had a game-high 12 tackles and three-and-a-half tackles for loss against Ala-bama-Birmingham on Sept. 6, 2014.

According to Pro Football Focus, Abram’s five quarterback pressures were three more than any other SEC secondary player in week 12.

Calhoun was the highest-graded MSU lineman (86 percent) against Arkansas. According to Pro Foot-ball Focus, MSU gained 102 of its 287 rushing yards to either side of Calhoun.

The honor was the second of Cal-houn’s career.

The Pleasant Grove, Alabama, native registered two knockdowns

and didn’t allow a sack. He an-chored an offensive line that paved the way for an offense that rushed for 287 yards.

Also Monday, Simmons joined nine others from teams in the state in being recognized for Mississip-pi’s highest football honor. He will try to become MSU’s first winner of the trophy since Dak Prescott won it in 2014 and 2015.

Simmons leads all SEC defensive linemen with 55 tackles. He is tied for fifth in the conference with 12 1/2 tackles for loss. He boasts a 90 overall grade from Pro Football Focus, which is fifth in the Football Bowl Subdivision among defensive interior linemen. He also owns a 91.7 grade in the running game that ranks fourth nationally. Simmons has recorded 28 stops and 22 total pressures, including 17 hurries ac-cording to PFF.

Simmons has 28 tackles for loss in his career, which ranks seventh all-time in MSU history. He also has five sacks in his three seasons.

Past MSU winners of the award other than Prescott are: include J.J. Johnson (1998), Jerious Norwood (2005), Anthony Dixon (2009), Chris White (2010), and Gabe Jack-son (2013).

The winner will be announced Tuesday, Nov. 27, at the Country Club of Jackson.

A combination of votes from the C Spire fan voting and a poll of sports news media representatives determine the winner. Fan vot-ing runs through noon on Sunday. Voters can cast a ballot up to three times per day at www.cspire.com/Conerly.

Tickets are on sale for the Coner-ly Trophy banquet at the Hall of Fame office and online at www.msfame.com. Advance tickets are required. No sales will be available at the doors. All proceeds benefit the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.

“It’s an injury. We play football. People get hurt every day. People get hurt walking the street, step off a curb and hurt your ankle. It’s not something we have to hype up. It’s football. It’s violent. It is what it is.”

The meaning of the game to No. 22 MSU (7-4, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) has been made clear to Moorhead. He remembers getting off the plane, greetings fans, and hearing about the importance of the game that has earned the nick-name “Egg Bowl.” MSU President Mark E. Keenum reiterated the point in a meeting after Moorhead’s introductory news conference.

Moorhead believes the game generates its own energy, so he doesn’t have to fan the flame.

“They’re going to be fired up.

That kind of stands on its own mer-it. They don’t need inflammatory rhetoric from me to get fired up,” Moorhead said. “That’s going to last for a series or a half of a quarter. Then ultimately you’re going to fall back on your preparation and your habits.

“Whether or not I give a pre-game Knute Rockne fire them up speech and put my fist through a whiteboard, they’ll get fired up for a second until they get on the bus and then you’ll have to fall back on your habits.”Accelerated timeline

The SEC has a strong history of playing on Thanks-giving Day. The move means two of its member schools having a short week before a rivalry game.

The Big Ten Conference doesn’t have such agree-ments, so Moorhead, who served as Penn State’s of-fensive coordinator before taking over as head coach

at MSU, didn’t have to work on a short week in his time there, but he has done plenty of it in the past.

“I was in the MAC (Mid-American Conference) for four years,” Moorhead said, referring to the league that often plays weekday games.

Moorhead coached two games on a short week in his four years as Fordham’s head coach and won them both (in 2014 against Lafayette and Bucknell).

New commitA day after MSU secured a commitment from a run-

ning back for its Class of 2019, it secured a commitment from the third wide receiver in the same class.

Northwest Mississippi Community College’s JaVon-ta Payton committed to MSU on Monday. The four-star prospect is ranked as the third-best junior college wide receiver in the nation, according to 247 Sports.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder from Nashville, Tennes-see, had 23 catches for 331 yards and two touchdowns for the Rangers this season.

As a freshman, he had had 44 receptions for 509 yards and nine touchdowns. He had offers from multiple schools coming out of Hillsboro (Tenn.) High School, in-cluding Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — James Paxton spent the first two months of the 2016 season in the minor leagues after an awful spring training caused his demotion.

When he returned to the ma-jors, he emerged as the Mariners’ ace, and now the Yankees hope he can bolster a rotation that contributed to New York’s loss to Boston in the AL Division Series. New York acquired the 30-year-old left-hander from the rebuild-ing Seattle Mariners on Monday for top prospect Justus Sheffield and two other minor leaguers.

“I think I’ll be a great fit. They seem very committed to winning, and so am I,” Paxton said.

New York sent the left-handed Sheffield to the Mariners along

with right-hander Erik Swanson and outfielder Dom Thomp-son-Williams.

Paxton turned 30 on Nov. 6 and went 11-6 with a 3.76 ERA in 28 starts last season, including a 16-strikeout start against Oak-land on May 2 and a no-hitter at Toronto. He struck out 208 and walked 42 in a career-high 160 1/3 innings.

Paxton is 41-26 in six seasons. He has made six trips to the dis-abled list in the last five years. He missed nearly four months with a strained left latissimus dorsi muscle in 2014, three-and-a-half months with a strained tendon in left middle finger in 2015, 10 days with a bruised left elbow in 2016,three-and-a-half weeks with a strained left forearm and a month with a strained left pecto-

ral muscle in 2017, and two-and-a-half weeks with lower back in-flammation this year.

“I continue to try to work to-wards being healthy for an entire season,” he said. “All the injuries that I’ve had haven’t reoccurred. I’ve learned how to make sure those things don’t happen again through exercise or whatever.”

When he went to Triple-A two years ago, he worked with former big league pitcher Lance Painter, who told him to drop his arm an-gle back to three-quarters. When Paxton returned to the Mariners, he studied reading swings with pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr.

n Rivera, Halladay top newcomers on Hall of Fame ballot: At New York, Career saves

leader Mariano Rivera and late pitcher Roy Halladay are among 20 new candidates on the Hall of Fame ballot for the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, joined by 15 holdovers headed by Edgar Martinez.

Left-hander Andy Pettitte and infielders Todd Helton, Michael Young, and Miguel Tejada also are among the newcomers on the ballot announced Monday.

Steroids-tainted stars Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds each appear on the ballot for the sev-enth time. Clemens rose to 57.3 percent in the 2018 ballot but fell 75 votes short of the 75 percent needed, and Bonds was 79 votes shy at 56.4 percent. Martinez was 20 votes short at 70.4 percent, Mike Mussina at 63.5 percent and Curt Schilling at 51.2 percent.

Rivera had 652 regular-season saves and 42 in the postseason during 19 seasons with the New York Yankees that included five World Series titles. He was 8-1 with a 0.70 ERA in 32 postseason series.

Halladay won Cy Young Awards with Toronto in 2003 and Philadelphia in 2010 and was 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA in 16 seasons. He pitched a perfect game against Florida in 2010 and a no-hitter that fall versus Cin-cinnati in the NL Championship Series opener — only the second postseason no-hitter after Dan Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Halladay died pilot-ing a plane in November 2017.

Pettitte was 256-153 with a 3.85 ERA in 15 seasons with the Yankees and Astros.

HoroscopesTODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov.

20). You enjoy making people happy, but it’s really not your job to please the world. Drop that idea, and suddenly a healthier set of priorities and boundaries begins to shuffle up your life. At first it seems that it’s your turn to be happy, and then you realize you don’t have to take turns. You get your needs met on a daily basis. Leo and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 4, 44, 48 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Like most people, you un-consciously seek out what you believe might heal the wounds of the past. Unlike most people, you wake up midreach to ques-tion your own motives.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your areas of deep sensitivity and feeling needn’t be quite so protected in light of your choice to be in environments that support you fully. So you can let your guard down a bit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What if you knew that your belief in someone was the essential ingredient that would allow that person to grow into who he or she wanted to be? Act as if this is so, and you’ll bring magic to your world.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To need security is only natural. Those who’ve had it don’t think about this as much as those who’ve been without it. When things shake up a little, it’s good, but no one wants to live like every day is an earthquake.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Communicating well starts with a feeling that you can – that no one is going to leave or get too upset if you bring up an uncom-fortable truth. Your success in relationships will be due in part to the emotional maturity of all involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A touch of fantasy can be excel-lent for relationships, but when fantasy becomes the preferred mode, the relationship never gets a chance to thrive. Avoid the dynamic of needing to save or be saved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Extreme independence is an illusion. People need interaction to survive. Don’t be fooled by someone who seems fine as a solo act. Even introverts benefit from fellowship, however awk-ward it may be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Believe your heart. Listen to what it tells you. It’s OK to feel that you’re somehow lacking, even though the picture looks about right. This could be about people being there for you, but not in the way that you need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s safe to move forward. It still could turn out to be a prickly arrangement, but you can handle it, and besides, there is opportunity in that, too. Such challenges will build emotional muscle tone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Turbulence isn’t passion, but it might look like it to some-one who doesn’t know better. The excitement of conflict produces similar symptoms, so it’s a fair mistake, but one you don’t have time for today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Though you may not say that you approve of yourself, it shows in your every action today. You’ve a comfort level, a confidence, and all you do will be congruent with your inner drive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll rely on machines, and your life will be better for it as long as you remember that machines can’t think. Rather, they make deductions based on data. Bring your considerable intuition and emotional insight to the equation, too.

SOLUTION:Cold-blooded

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: I have a nephew who

is a Level III sex offender. My mom wants him at her house for the holidays, but none of the other family members plan to attend with their kids if he’s there.

Mom insists we should forgive him and can’t understand how people can’t forgive him for molesting children in his family. I don’t understand how my mom thinks it should be easy for us to forgive, but I feel bad for what she’s going through. She feels like her family is being torn apart. How can I help her understand that I see both sides of it? What should I do? — TORN APART

DEAR TORN: Go online and print out the definition of a Lev-el III or Tier III sex offender so your mother can read it. These individuals are considered the most dangerous and most likely to reoffend. While at some point your relatives may be able to forgive your nephew for what he did, to ignore it could be dangerous for their children. Although you didn’t mention the conditions under which he is out of prison, he

may no longer be allowed to be in the presence of minors, because if he’s caught, he might have to go back in.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married 40 years. Ten years into it, my wife had an affair with her high school first love, “Will,” that resulted in a child. We raised the boy as our own.

Fast-forward 20 years. She has had another affair with Will and continues to want to stay in contact with him. She insists that she’s in love with me, but says she also loves him and “needs him” in her life.

She will be traveling to her hometown soon and plans to have dinner with him. She insists there will be no sex and that her heart and mind are in a better place. Must I grin and bear this or insist on no contact whatsoever with Will? — OTHER MAN IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR OTHER MAN: I understand why you would be worried. Where her high school sweetheart is concerned, your wife appears to lack willpower. You do not have to tolerate anything that is painful for you.

Because your wife cheated with Will not once but twice, you are within your rights to insist that she have no more contact with him.

DEAR ABBY: My friend just died. I receive only Social Secu-rity disability, and I’m poor. I don’t have a suit or dark dress pants, just blue jeans and T-shirts. However, I can afford a dark-colored dress shirt to wear to my friend’s funeral. Is this acceptable attire for saying goodbye to my friend, or would it be better to say goodbye on my own after the funeral? I don’t know his relatives, and learned of his death only today when a family member showed up to collect something I held for him. — SAYING GOODBYE

DEAR SAYING GOODBYE: I’m sorry you lost your friend. If you would like to attend the funeral, by all means do. Funerals aren’t supposed to be fashion runways, so wear what-ever you feel is respectful and stop worrying about offending anyone’s sensibilities. People are there to pay respects to your friend. No one should be looking at or judging YOU.
