rage on Thursday after it re-
ceived approval from the state
Institutions of Higher Learning
board. The new garage will be
built on the north side of cam-
pus next to Howell Hall.
MSU Parking and Transit
Services Director Jeremiah
Dumas said the university con-
tracted with a consultant in
2015 to evaluate the campus’
parking demand and capacity.
He said MSU wanted to get data
on parking utilization and how
to prepare for growing demand.
After that, he said, the office of

on campus.”
While parking is a concern
on campus, Dumas said the
university also had to consider
a new parking facility’s impact
on traffic, which he described
as a “real problem.” The new
parking garage will be locat-
ed just south of Baily Howell
Drive, which Dumas said is a
roadway that’s large enough to
handle the additional traffic the
garage may generate.
The location also puts the
garage in a position to support
needed parking on the north
side of campus for locations
such as the Sanderson Student
Health Center. It’s also situated
close to Davis Wade Stadium,

board on Thursday.
the Humphrey Coliseum and
Dudy Noble Field to support
gameday traffic.
Dumas said he hopes to
break ground on the new facili-
ty shortly after the new year.
According to a university
press release, Tupelo-based
McCarty Architects is design-
ing the garage, with assistance
from national planning and de-
sign firm Kimley-Horn.
The garage will include so-
lar panels, according to the re-
lease, and will generate more
electricity than it uses.
MSU currently has about
15,000 parking spaces on cam-
pus, Dumas said. With the
parking garage and another
planned 350-spot parking lot on
the south side of campus near
the Fresh Food Company, Du-
mas said MSU will add more
than 800 new parking spaces in
the next year.
“We have another project
that’s under design that’s about
to go through to construction
on the south side of campus,”
Dumas said. “It’s not a garage,
but it’s a large surface parking
lot that’s strategically located
and helping with traffic in an
area where we need some addi-
tional parking.”
MSU President Mark Kee-
num, in the university press
release, said he was thankful to
the IHL board for approving the
project.
“Because of the steady arc of
growth in our enrollment, park-
ing has been one of our constant
challenges on campus,” Kee-
num said. “We’re grateful for
the IHL Board’s vision in sup-
porting our efforts to manage
that growth in parking demand
with an impactful solution that
will serve all our stakeholders.”

First new oil wells in years being 12 Mississippi driver’s

drilled in Mississippi shale region
Australian company’s new drilling has
come as the price of a barrel of oil
has risen above $70
The Associated Press
GILLSBURG — An
Australian company is
drilling new wells in an oil
formation that straddles
southwest Mississippi and
southeast Louisiana, the
first new wells drilled in
about three years, after a
crash in oil prices dried up
activity.
Australis Oil & Gas
Ltd. announced earlier
this month that it had
started drilling the first of
at least six planned wells
near Gillsburg, Mississip-
pi.
The company bought
81,000 acres of leases in
the region in 2016 and
2017, adding to an interest
it already owned.
The company says it
picked well sites in the
most productive and prov-
en part of the Tuscaloosa
Marine Shale. It says it
plans to spend $43 million
in borrowed money on
drilling, which would be
an average well price of
about $7 million, less than
the $10 million-plus that
was the common cost of a
well in the region during
an earlier burst of drilling.
Australis says it’s try-
ing to prove it can drill
more cheaply but still
equal the oil production
of those earlier wells. The
company says it should
be ready to report on how
the first two new wells are
producing by March. Like
in other regions, the rig
will drill a long well run-
ning horizontal to the sur-
face of the ground in an
oil-bearing rock layer and
then workers will pump
in fluid to break open, or
fracture, the layer, allow-
ing oil to come out.
The company says a
good performance could
boost the value of its acre-
age, which it says has 350
possible well locations
in the core region of the
Tuscaloosa Marine Shale.
The company has said its
goal is to sell all or part of
its holdings at a windfall
once it proves their value.
The founders successfully
pursued the same strat-
egy in the Eagle Ford re-
gion of Texas.
The new drilling has
come as the price of a bar-
rel of oil has risen above
$70 at points in recent
weeks, the highest price
since 2014.

Mississippi payrolls
again hit new record high
in September
JACKSON — Missis-
sippi employer payrolls
continued their march
into record territory in
September, as the state’s
unemployment rate stayed
steady.
The number of people
on payrolls — economists’
top labor market indicator
— grew to a record 1.17
million in September, up
barely from August’s pre-
vious record. That’s 20,000
jobs above September
2017.
Mississippi’s jobless
rate was flat at 4.8 per-
cent for the third straight
month, with the labor force
growing as fast as addition-
al people found jobs. Mis-
sissippi’s September 2017
jobless rate was 4.9 per-
cent. The number of unem-
ployed Mississippians was
level at about 62,000.
August’s U.S. unem-
ployment rate fell to 3.7
percent in September
from 3.9 percent in Au-
gust. Mississippi has the
fourth-highest jobless rate
among states.

Our View
With holidays come opportunities
You will forgive us if we look
past Halloween for a moment to
consider the two big holidays
that are on the horizon —
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
By just about every mea-
sure, they are the “Big Two,”
holidays and we are already
seeing signs of their impend-
ing arrival. Stores are already
filled with the trappings of both
Thanksgiving and Christmas,
often to our dismay. The idea
that we’ll be navigating aisles
filled with these holiday-related
items for the next 30 to 60 days
dilutes the spirit of the season.
It’s often true that we are sort
of sick of it all by the time the
holidays arrive.
But in another respect,
there is a part of this run-up to
the holidays that adds rather
than detracts from the holidays
in a very meaningful way.
On Monday, the Columbus
Community Benefit Commit-
tee, working with the Salvation
Army, began the city’s annual
Thanksgiving Turkey Drive.
Soon, church and civic clubs
will be kicking off their own
holiday giving campaigns. The
Salvation Army is gearing up
for its annual Angel Tree and
Red Kettle campaigns.
There will be no shortage of
opportunities to magnify the
true meaning of these holidays
through giving.
Shifting our focus to serving
others is often a great way to
orient our thinking in these
weeks leading up to Thanks-
giving and Christmas. When
we donate items or volunteer
for programs that benefit our
less fortunate neighbors, we
immunize ourselves from the
cynicism that today’s over-com-
mercialized holidays have
come to represent for many of
us.
Donate a turkey, pick up a
name off an Angel Tree or stuff
cash in a Salvation Army Ket-
tle. Participate in your church
or civic club holiday drives.
Choose your own family and
help them privately.
Any of these opportuni-
ties changes the dynamics of
the holidays. You’ll feel good
about yourself, good about the
holidays. When Thanksgiving
and Christmas arrive, you’ll be
thankful not only for your good
fortune, but for having been
blessed to be in the position to
have helped others and have
followed through on it. Giving
is truly the best tonic for holi-
day weariness.
Don’t miss out on the oppor-
tunities.

Bedouin culture
in the 21st century
Long ago, Bedouin
tribes used to roam
around most of the mid-
dle eastern countries.
They rode camels and
moved place to place
in the deserts for oasis
and food. They carried
swords and used to kill
animals and even hu-
mans of other tribes.
A friend of mine
who recently retired
Jiben Roy
from Mississippi State
University after a long 30 years as a faculty
member visited Saudi Arabia a couple of times to
attend conferences and give lectures. He used to
tell that the culture, attitude and living standards
remain still Bedouin-like. Fortunately, they have
petro-dollars and have Mecca, the most sacred
religious place of the Muslim world.
Last week, the Government of the Saudi King-
dom, once again has proven that their ancestors
were true Bedouin and they still follow Bedouin
culture.
Mr. Khashoggi, a well-known Saudi journalist
went to the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, Turkey for
some affidavit related job. Obviously, he had a pri-
or appointment. The rest has become a nightmare

Medicaid expansion becomes key Hackers breach

issue in GOP-leaning states
‘When I was circulating petitions,
pretty much everyone signed it
without objection. I didn’t expect
that to be the case in rural Nebraska.’
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — For
nearly a decade, opposi-
tion to former President
Barack Obama’s health
care law has been a win-
ning message for Nebras-
ka Republicans.
It’s helped them win
every statewide office,
control the Legislature
and hold all the state’s
congressional seats. So it
was something of a sur-
prise for Bob Tatum when
he set out to ask his fellow
Nebraskans if they would
back a ballot initiative to
expand Medicaid, one
of the pillars of Obama’s
health overhaul.
“There seems to be a
lot more support than I
anticipated,” said Tatum,
who lives in a remote town
near the Colorado border.
It took him little more
than a week to gather
over 100 petition signa-
tures in Perkins County,
where roughly 70 percent
of the 1,963 registered
voters are Republicans.
Tatum, 66, also is a Re-
publican but differs from
most of his party’s elect-
ed officials. He supports
the Medicaid expansion
because his job as an am-
bulance driver brings him
into frequent contact with
working people who can’t
afford insurance but earn
too much to qualify for
regular Medicaid.
“When I was circulat-
ing petitions, pretty much
everyone signed it without
objection,” Tatum said. “I
didn’t expect that to be
the case in rural Nebras-
ka.”
Nebraska isn’t the only
conservative state where
residents are bypassing
a legislature that has re-
fused to expand Medicaid.
Voters in two other
Republ ic a n - dom i nated
states, Idaho and Utah,
also will decide in Novem-
ber whether to expand the
health insurance program
to more lower-income
Americans. Another bal-
lot initiative, in Montana,
seeks to raise a tobacco
tax to keep funding a
Medicaid expansion that
is set to expire.
Other states have seen
Medicaid expansion be-
come a top issue in their
governor’s race, with
Democratic candidates
forcing Republicans to de-
fend their opposition.
In Tennessee, Dem-
ocratic contender Karl
Dean argues that the state
already has lost out on $4
billion in federal money by
refusing to participate.
“That money is being
spent in other states,”
Dean said in a recent de-
bate. “We need to get our
Medicaid dollars back
here.”
His Republican oppo-
nent, Bill Lee, noted that
Tennessee had expand-
ed its Medicaid program
long before Obama was
even in office, but rolled
it back in 2003 to balance
the budget.
HealthCare.gov system,
get data on 75,000
Officials: Technicians working
to restore system before sign-up
season starts Nov. 1
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A government computer sys-
tem that interacts with HealthCare.gov was hacked
earlier this month, compromising the sensitive
personal data of some 75,000 people, officials said
Friday.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Ser-
vices made the announcement late in the afternoon
ahead of a weekend, a time slot agencies often use
to release unfavorable developments.
Officials said the hacked system was shut down
and technicians are working to restore it before
sign-up season starts Nov. 1 for health care cover-
age under the Affordable Care Act.
About 10 million people currently have private
coverage under former President Barack Obama’s
health care law.
Consumers applying for subsidized coverage
have to provide extensive personal information, in-
cluding Social Security numbers, income, and citi-
zenship or legal immigration status.
The system that was hacked is used by insurance
agents and brokers to directly enroll customers.

Trump wants to push middle-income tax cut through Congress

President said he’s looking to cut taxes by
about 10 percent for middle-income people
By JILL COLVIN
and MARCY GORDON
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Presi-
dent Donald Trump says he
wants to push a new middle-in-
come tax cut through Congress
after the midterm elections,
though he’s not offering specif-
ics on the plan.
Trump said Monday he’s
looking to cut taxes by about
10 percent for middle-income
people. The proposal follows
the massive tax law that Repub-
licans muscled through Con-
gress late last year and Trump
signed as his major legislative
achievement.
With the midterm elections
in two weeks, polls have shown
only tepid support among vot-
ers for that package of individ-
ual and corporate tax cuts that
took effect Jan. 1. It provides
steep tax cuts for corporations
and the wealthiest Americans,
and more modest reductions for
middle- and low-income individ-
uals and families.
Trump, leaving the White
House for a campaign rally in
Texas, told reporters, “We’re
doing it now for middle-income
people. This is not for business.
This is for the middle.”
Coming so close to crit-
ical elections, the proposal
appeared to be a tacit ac-
knowledgement by the Trump
administration that the $1.5 tril-
lion package of tax cuts failed
to deliver the political traction
that Republicans had hoped for.
“This is just a political exer-
cise,” said Steven Rosenthal, a
senior fellow at the nonpartisan
Urban-Brookings Tax Policy
Center. “Republicans are realiz-
ing they have to do more to help
the middle class.”
The lukewarm response to
the tax law prompted Republi-
can lawmakers to speed new
legislation through the House
in September, as they rushed
out of town to face voters, to ex-
pand the tax law. The new bill
would make permanent the in-
dividual and small-business tax
cuts in the law. Prospects in the
Senate for the legislation were
weak.
Trump said over the week-
end that he hoped to move
forward with the plan “some-
time around” or before Nov. 1.
But Congress is currently out
of session as lawmakers cam-
paign for the Nov. 6 elections.
“We’re putting in a resolution
sometime in the next week or a
week and a half, two weeks,”
Trump said Monday.
The tax cut proposal could
be included in a continuing res-
olution to fund the government
on a short-term basis. Around
25 percent of federal spending
hasn’t yet been approved for the
rest of the fiscal year, so in the-
ory it would be possible to put in
new tax cuts in the lame-duck
session. Lawmakers, however,
already have a heavy agenda for
the session.

CALEDONIA DAYS Supreme Court: Ross

can’t be questioned
in census suit
Lawsuits challenging addition
of citizenship question on census
By MARK SHERMAN
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is sid-

ing with the Trump administration to block the
questioning of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross
about his decision to add a citizenship question to
the 2020 census.
The unsigned order Monday overrides low-
er federal courts in New York that would have
allowed the questioning of Ross to proceed in
lawsuits challenging the addition of a citizenship
question on the decennial census for the first time
since 1950.
The suits by a dozen states and big cities,
among others, say the citizenship question will
discourage immigrants from participating, dilut-
ing political representation and federal dollars for
states that tend to vote Democratic.
But the court is allowing the deposition of act-
ing assistant attorney general John Gore to go
forward, over the dissent of Justices Neil Gorsuch
and Clarence Thomas.

‘I don’t feel real’: Mental

stress mounting after Michael
‘In any kind of disaster
what we find is that people
have been exposed to
circumstances that are well
beyond what they normally
deal with day to day’
Tony Averbuch, leader of a disaster
medical assistance team
By JAY REEVES
The Associated Press
PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Amy Cross
has a hard time explaining the stress
of living in a city that was splintered by
Hurricane Michael. She’s fearful after
hearing gunshots at night, and she’s
confused because she no longer recog-
nizes the place where she’s spent her
entire 45 years.
“I just know I don’t feel real, and home
doesn’t feel like home at all,” Cross said.
Health workers say they are seeing
signs of mental problems in residents
more than a week after Michael, and the
issues could continue as a short-term
disaster turns into a long-term recovery
that will take years.
Tony Averbuch, who leads a disaster
medical assistance team that is seeing
80 to 100 patients daily in tents set up
in a parking lot of the badly damaged
Bay Medical Sacred Heart hospital, said
some people are showing signs of fray-
ing.
It’s not hard to imagine: Just getting
to the treatment site involves navigating
streets with roadblocks and fallen utili-
ty lines, and the hospital building itself
was ripped open by Michael’s powerful
winds.
“In any kind of disaster what we find
is that people have been exposed to cir-
cumstances that are well beyond what
they normally deal with day to day,” said
Averbuch, of Bloomfield Hills, Michi-
gan.
For Cross, that meant getting new
prescriptions for medicine she takes for
depression.
“We’re in shock. This is a lot. It’s
heartbreaking,” she said.
Signs of trauma aren’t a surprise for
those who studied people after Hurri-
cane Katrina in 2005. Damage in Mexi-
co Beach was similar to that in southern
Mississippi, where entire communities
were flattened by wind and storm surge,
and Panama City could take years to re-
build, as did parts of New Orleans after
the metro area flooded.
Dr. Irwin Redlener of the National
Center for Disaster Preparedness at Co-
lumbia University observed widespread,
long-lasting psychological effects after
Katrina. One study found that, five years
after the storm, parents reported more
than 37 percent of children had been
clinically diagnosed with depression,
anxiety, or a behavior disorder.
Redlener says that’s in part because
parents are overwhelmed and are less
able to buffer their children from bad
experiences.
“They survived a major catastroph-
ic event, which is good. But everything
they knew is gone,” he said.
Research scientist David Murphey
said children look to their parents for
cues as how to respond to completely
new and frightening situations.
“If they see parents kind of falling
apart at the seams, that’s going to cre-
ate anxiety for the children as well,” said
Murphey.
Dr. Emily Harville, an associate pro-
fessor at Tulane University’s School of
Public Health and Tropical Medicine in
New Orleans, said most people will be
back to where they were within a year
or so, but others will have difficulty for
a longer period.
“There will be a small group that con-
tinues to have long-term mental health
issues,” she said.

PREPS
Columbus expected to move down to 5A in MHSAA’s next reclassification
From Special Reports
Columbus High School is ex-
pected to move down to Class
5A, while New Hope High is
expected to move back up to
Class 5A in the Mississippi
High School Activities Associa-
tion’s (MHSAA) next round of
reclassification.
On Monday, the MHSAA an-
nounced the enrollment totals
for its member schools. The
totals are based on the schools’
total enrollment in grades 9-12
as of Oct. 1, 2018, as verified by
the Mississippi Department of
Education.
With an enrollment of 959,
Columbus High is expected
to move down from Class 6A
and become one of the biggest
Class 5A schools.
“It is always difficult as one
of the last couple of schools in a
classification,” Columbus High
football coach Eric Rice said.
“The biggest challenge with be-
ing the smallest school in 6A is
depth on the team.
“We have been around 60 play-
ers throughout the season, and
realistically you would like about
20 more. In Classes 5A and 6A, it
is difficult to have a lot of two-way
players. A move down to Class 5A
would be beneficial. However, the
biggest challenge remains depth.
Regardless of the class, we need
more players. That starts on the
junior high level all the way on up.”
Columbus High boys basket-
ball coach Phillip Morris said
the school has known for a few
months that there was a strong
probability that it would move
down from Class 6A. He said
he expects the school to move
back up after things get taken
care of in the Columbus Munic-
ipal School District.
“I knew it was coming. It was
only a matter of time,” said Mor-
ris, who is in his first season as
head coach at the school after
taking over for Anthony Carlyle.
“The last time they took the num-
bers I think we were only two or
three kids over the number we
needed to be a Class 6A school.”
New Hope, which moved
down from Class 5A to Class 4A
in the most recent two-year cy-
cle of reclassification, would be
at the bottom end of a new 32-
team Class 5A with an enroll-
ment of 740. East Central High
(734 students) is projected to
be the final Class 5A school.
Starkville (1,388) would re-
main in Class 6A. West Point
(803) would remain in Class
5A, and Caledonia (564) would
stay in Class 4A, but Noxubee
County, the reigning Class 4A
State champion in football, is
expected to move down to Class
3A. With an enrollment of 395,
Noxubee County would have
11 schools with a larger enroll-
ment in a new Class 3A.
Aberdeen (309) would re-
main in Class 3A. Hamilton
(191) and West Lowndes (133)
would remain in Class 1A.
The current breakdown of
classifications has 32 schools in
Classes 6A and 5A, 46 in Class
4A, and 47 in Class 3A.
The alignment of regions in
each classification hasn’t been
determined.
The MHSAA does a reclas-
sification of its teams every two
years.
Columbus has been in Class
6A for the last 10 seasons. It was
in Class 5A with Starkville in
2008 under then-coach Bubba
Davis before moving back up in
the following two-year cycle.

without throwing a single
pitch. On Monday, he loos-
ened up in a cutoff T-shirt
and ski cap.
“Check this one off as far
as pitching tomorrow, but I
don’t really think about the
history part of it too much,
honestly,” he said.
The view from the other
dugout certainly is more
inviting.
“It’s a lot better wearing
the white uniforms,” said
Chris Sale, who starts the
opener for Boston. “It’s not
an easy place to play as a
visitor.”
“This ballpark definite-
ly brings its challenges in
terms of it’s different. It’s
not your standard wall out
in center field, just kind of a
half-oval. We have ... nooks
and crannies and some
sharp edges and some dif-
ferent things going on out
there,” he said. “I could
definitely see how this
could raise some challeng-
es for a team that doesn’t
play here a lot.”
Fans saw that earlier in
the playoffs.
A relative stranger to
the 37-foot-high wall, Yan-
kees left fielder Andrew
McCutchen misplayed a
carom in the AL Division
Series. Shortstop Didi Gre-
gorius wandered far into
the outfield, retrieved the
carom and made a long re-
lay — and wound up hurt-
ing his elbow, an injury
that required Tommy John
surgery.
During the AL Cham-
pionship Series, Houston
left fielder Marwin Gonza-
lez got lost out there and
banged hard into the score-
board, which isn’t padded.
He was down for a while.
“Crazy bounces, all
the odd angles. Off the
scoreboard, off the num-
bers,” said Dodgers starter
Rich Hill, who previously
pitched for the Red Sox.
“Or you hook one down
the line toward Pesky’s
Pole, it’s probably less than
200 feet down there,” he
said. “There’s not a park
like this.”
Taylor made a sensa-
tional catch in left-center
field Saturday night as the
Dodgers beat Milwaukee
in Game 7 of the NLCS.

ers are meeting in the

FOOTBALL: NFL
Raiders send Cooper Falcons’ Ryan has big
to Cowboys for top pick night in win over Giants
By SCHUYLER DIXON By PAUL NEWBERRY
The Associated Press The Associated Press

DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys made a bold
move for the present Monday, trading a first-round
pick for Oakland receiver Amari Cooper in Raiders
coach Jon Gruden’s latest play for the future.
The Cowboys gave up their top pick in the next
draft in hopes of giving quarterback Dak Prescott
another weapon just a few months after releasing
franchise touchdown catch leader Dez Bryant in a
cost-cutting move.
Dallas (3-4) has struggled to score points while
losing all four road games, including 20-17 Sunday
at Washington. And Cowboys receivers haven’t
made many big plays in their first season without
Bryant and retired tight end Jason Witten, the club
leader in catches.
The Cowboys decided Bryant wasn’t worth $12.5
million in 2018 after three subpar seasons since
signing a big contract following his only All-Pro
year in 2014.
Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie said
Cowboys executive vice president of personnel Ste-
phen Jones called last week to say he’d check in on
Cooper on Monday and offered the first-round pick
that the Raiders were holding out for before making
a deal.
Cooper was the fourth overall draft pick by the
Raiders out of Alabama three years ago. He start-
ed his career with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons

ATLANTA — Matt Ryan is putting up MVP-
like numbers, even on a team that hasn’t lived up to
expectations.
Matty Ice turned in another brilliant
performance in prime time
Atlanta 23, Monday, throwing for 379 yards
New York 20 and completing his final 18
passes to lead the Atlanta
Falcons past the New York
Giants, 23-20, for their second-straight victory.
“Whatever it takes to win,” Ryan said. “That’s the
mindset we have every week.”
Ryan threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Marvin
Hall, Tevin Coleman broke loose on a 30-yard scor-
ing run and the Falcons added another chapter to
New York’s miserable season, sending the Giants
(1-6) to their fourth-straight loss.
“I don’t feel like we’re a 1-6 team,” Odell Beck-
ham Jr. said. “That’s what our record is, but that’s
not the feeling in the locker room.”
Ryan was the league’s MVP in 2016 when he led
Atlanta to the Super Bowl. While these Falcons (3-4)
haven’t played to that level, their quarterback is put-
ting up numbers that measure up to what he did two
years ago: a 71.1-percent completion rate, 2,335 yards
passing, 15 touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Ryan is only focused on the team’s performance.
“To inch our way closer to .500 is a positive for

I just felt a relief. I knew
where this was headed.”
While
reer
Gray’s
continues
project upward, the 2018
season has been a mixed
ca-
to
bag for the Eagles, who
will miss the Mississippi
Association of Commu-
nity and Junior Colleges
(MACJC) playoffs. Hinds
C.C. (4-4, 2-3) will play
Thursday at Mississippi
Gulf Coast C.C. (6-2, 3-2)
in the regular-season
South Division finale for
both teams in Perkinston.
“This year has been
a major learning experi-
ence,” Gray said. “After
playing primarily on the
defensive line, also been
able to show my abili-
ties at linebacker. We
have played a lot of close
games. The main thing
I have learned is about
technique and fundamen-
tals. Getting better each
day in the little things.
Those are the things that
will be important next
year when I am a sopho-
more and counted on to
be one of the leaders of
the team.”
Gray is third on the
team in tackles with 50, in-
cluding two-and-a-half for
loss. He has been a starter
since the second week of
the season against Missis-
sippi Delta C.C.
“Josh may be one of
our hardest workers,”
Hinds C.C. coach Larry
Williams said. “No matter
what the competition is he
wants to finish first. He
has great football instinct
and thinks well on his
feet. Fortunate that we got
him. He has really worked
hard and earned every-
thing he has gotten.”
When Columbus com-
pleted a 2-9 season a year
ago, things were tough
for the Falcons’ seniors. A
coaching change sent the
program into transition.

shuffling is built around
a strong fall by sopho-
more Jordan Westburg at
shortstop. Others played
there at times, but Lem-
onis was impressed with
Westburg, who shifted to
third base and designated
hitter as a freshman with
good results: three RBIs
in the Tallahassee Region-
al, three hits in the Nash-
ville Super Regional, and
a seven-RBI outburst in a
victory against North Car-
olina in the College World
Series.
“I loved it,” Westburg
said. “That’s where my
comfort zone is. That’s
where I played my whole
life. I was excited to get
back there and excited to
play the way I did.
“I tried to take the con-
fidence I had in from the
postseason into summer
ball and ultimately back
into fall ball, and I think
that’s what I did. I strug-
gled a little bit toward the
end of the fall, but overall,
now that it’s the offsea-
son, go back to the draw-
ing board.”
Justin Foscue, MSU’s
other third baseman
from last year, worked at
third base and was part
of a large crew at second
base. Freshman Landon
Jordan also saw time at
third base. Lemonis said
Jordan benefitted greatly
from fall experimenting
and shined at third.
Junior Gunner Halter,
junior Anthony Hickman,
and sophomore Tanner
Allen, who was MSU’s
first baseman at the end
of the 2018 season, also
saw time at second. Al-
len still worked some at
first with sophomore Josh
Hatcher and junior Tucker
Childers.
Having so many infield
options should give MSU
plenty of possibilities at
designated hitter. Lem-
onis plans on exploring
them.
“It’s going to be who’s
matching up, who’s play-
ing well,” Lemonis said.
“It’s hard to be the ev-
change isn’t a recipe that
helps its players receive
stacks of college offers.
“The last year at Co-
lumbus was a humbling
experience,” Gray said.
“We worked hard but
didn’t have anything to
show for it. There were
not a lot of seniors on the
team. When things start-
ed to get away with us,
there wasn’t that large
group of seniors. It made
things tough. However,
the adversity also tough-
ened us up for the next
level.”
Even though the last
two senior classes at Co-
lumbus High didn’t pro-
duce a large number of
signees, the Falcons still
playing have made an
impact in their new pro-
grams.
“We are a close-knit
group,” Gray said. “The
fresh start has been good
in a lot of ways. The big-
gest thing for each of us
is learning we belong on
this level. After a couple
of games, you just start
feeling good. Everybody
here can play. Everybody
wants that senior college
offer. The biggest motiva-
tion comes from your own
team.
“You got teammates
fighting and scrapping to
get to the next level. You
don’t want to take that one
day off in practice because
you can lose that spot.”
Gray said all of that
fighting and scrapping
will ensure he never takes
his present spot for grant-
ed.
“This league is what
everybody says it is,” Gray
said. “Each player has a
story. It’s fascinating to be
out there playing against
the best of the best. When
you look around and see
what you are doing, it
makes you feel blessed.”

Even with sophomore
Rowdey Jordan project-
ed to retain his starting
left field spot, MSU has
options in the outfield:
freshmen Basiel Wil-
liams, Hunter Blaylock,
J.T. Ginn, and Benjamin
Baker all saw time in left
field in the fall.
“With me, Mac and
Rowdey, we can show
them how we do things
here, just like when we
were freshmen,” Mangum
said.
MSU’s pitching staff
also has plenty of options.
Lemonis said the team
“really needs to find out”
how the pitchers will be
used. Aside from an es-
tablished Friday night
starter in junior Ethan
Small, everything from
the starters who follow to
bullpen roles remain to be
determined.
The return of Riley Self
and Spencer Price from
injuries is expected to
provide competition at the
back end of the bullpen.
Peyton Plumlee’s return
to eligibility should do
the same for the starting
rotation. Ginn also is in
the mix to be a starting
pitcher.
Lemonis isn’t lacking
for options. He said they
will force hard decisions.
“There’s more work to
do,” Lemonis said, “but
I feel pretty good about
where we’re at.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Restocked Kansas gets
top spot in The AP poll
By The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. —
Kansas men’s basketball
coach Bill Self sees big
holes when he looks at his
roster after losing three
starters, including Asso-
ciated Press All-American
Devonte’ Graham.
The voters in The AP
Top 25 poll see some-
thing different: a roster
restocked so well that
Jayhawks will start the
season as the nation’s top
team.
Kansas checked in at
No. 1 in the preseason poll
released Monday, earning
the top spot to start a sea-
son for the third time in
program history, all un-
der Self. The Jayhawks
topped the ballot for 37 of
65 voters, nearly double
that of No. 2 Kentucky.
“Obviously we lost a lot
off last year’s team with
Devonte’, Svi (Mykhaili-
uk) and Malik (Newman),
so I’m a little surprised
that the writers put us
there this preseason,” Self
said in a statement to The
AP. “It’s definitely a spot
we welcome and certain-
ly know the goal is to be
playing to that ranking by
when it counts the most.
“With the young play-
ers, we know it’s going
to take some time before
we’re anywhere close to
where we’re going to be,
but I do like this team and
I think we have a chance
to be very good.”
The Jayhawks return
veteran starters in junior
7-footer Udoka Azubuike
and senior Lagerald Vick
from a team that reached
its first Final Four since
2012. They’re also adding
transfer help from Mem-
phis twins Dedric and K.J.
Lawson as well as Califor-
nia’s Charlie Moore — all
double-digit scorers on
their previous teams.
And yet, the previous
two times the Jayhawks
started at No. 1 didn’t end
well. The 2004-05 squad
lost to Bucknell in the first
round of the NCAA Tour-
nament. And the 2009-10
team that held the top
Roundup
spot for 15 of 19 weeks
overall and won 33 games
lost to Northern Iowa in
the second round.
The ranking comes as
the program finds itself
entangled in the federal
corruption case tied to
payments used to steer re-
cruits to certain schools.
Testimony during the
recent first trials includ-
ed references to Self and
sophomore forward Silvio
De Sousa, though Self
isn’t charged with wrong-
doing and it’s unclear if
De Sousa’s status will be
affected.
n Jury deliberates fate of three
men in scandal: At New York, A jury
quietly deliberated for five hours Monday
on its first day considering the merits
of claims by the government that three
men conspired to cheat major college
basketball programs by paying young
athletes to sign with schools sponsored
by Adidas.
Attorneys for the defendants con-
tend their clients broke NCAA rules but
no laws.
Deliberations began midday Monday
after U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan
instructed the jury. Five hours later, jurors
went home without sending any notes.
They resume work Tuesday morning.
Federal prosecutors have portrayed
universities with some of the nation’s best
college basketball programs as victims of
a group of individuals who arranged to
pay the families of top recruits tens of
thousands of dollars so young athletes
would go to Adidas-sponsored schools.
Prosecutors say the men tricked the
schools into giving scholarships to play-
ers who should have been ineligible.
The defendants are Adidas sports
marketing manager James “Jim” Gatto,
aspiring sports agent Christopher Daw-
kins and Merl Code, a former Adidas
consultant.
Their attorneys told jurors over
several weeks the government was
overreaching when it brought the case
against the three men and several others
who are awaiting trial, including four for-
mer assistant coaches.
n Alabama transfer Key cleared
to play for No. 5 Virginia: At Charlot-
tesville, Virginia, Alabama transfer Brax-
ton Key has received a waiver from the
NCAA and will be eligible to play for No.
5 Virginia this season.
Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett made
the announcement Monday. Key, a Char-
lotte, North Carolina, has two years of
eligibility remaining.
The 6-foot-8, 225-pound guard av-
eraged 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.1
steals in 26 games for the Crimson Tide
last season after missing 10 games with
a knee injury.
He was named to the All-SEC fresh-
man team in 2016-17 after averaging 12
points and 5.7 rebounds.
Virginia will open the 2018-19 sea-
son against Towson on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

of the season the way we’re
supposed to, then our desti-
ny is in our hands,” Ledbet-
ter said Monday. “We can
be where we want to be. Ev-
erything is still ahead of us,
like coach said.”
A loss to the Gators
would make the task near-
ly impossible, but Holyfield
says the team has too much
talent and potential to let the
season slip away.
“Everybody knows
what’s at stake,” Holyfield
said. “Everybody knows
what we’re playing for. Ev-
erybody knows where we
want to go. As long as ev-
erybody’s on the same page,
and I think we are, I think
we’re going to be fine.”
Georgia’s defense
learned a hard lesson at
LSU. It couldn’t get off the
field, lining up for 81 snaps
and getting gouged for 275
yards rushing on 51 at-
tempts.
Facing an up-tempo at-
tack kept the Bulldogs from
substituting as much as
they would have liked and
exposed what coach Kirby
Smart called a lack of condi-
tioning, not a lack of effort.
Transfers
Continued from Page 1B
schools have been affected through the
latest update Oct. 14. The list includes 61 gradu-
ate transfers and 91 players who have transferred
from Power 5 schools and 51 more who have
transferred to those schools, which are in the
Southeastern, Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, and
Pacific-12 conferences.
“It’s a very hard topic to cover because some
people go for personal preference or they have a
very bad experience, so I think at the moment the
way the NCAA is handling it is probably, I am not
going to say the right way, but the best way in or-
der to keep things fair,” Nakkasoglu said.
As one of seven transfers at Florida, which is
in the SEC, Nakkasoglu, who is from Hampton,
Australia, knows there are plenty of reasons why
players switch schools. She said she wanted a
change of scenery and to test herself after she had
two “great” years at Division I Utah State, where
she averaged 19.1 points and scored 1,149 points
in 60 games (58 starts).
Nakkasoglu had to sit out a year and had two
years of eligibility at Florida remaining beginning
in the 2017-18 season. Last season, Nakkasoglu
led the Gators in scoring (14.9 points per game)
and averaged 2.4 rebounds. She also paced the
team in minutes per game (34.9) and 3-pointers
(76). She shot 41.8 percent from the field and 37.3
percent from 3-point range.
Nakkasoglu isn’t alone in the SEC. Mississippi
State has four transfers on its roster, while Texas
A&M has eight, LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas have
five, and Kentucky has four. All 14 of the league’s
schools have at least one transfer from some lev-
el in their programs. Coaching changes at some
schools — most notably Arkansas (last season)
and Ole Miss (prior to this season) account for
some of the turnover — but there seems to be
more turnover at the Division I level as players
search for the best fit.
Florida coach Cameron Newbauer, who is en-
tering his second season at the school after build-
ing Belmont into a perennial NCAA tournament
program, said he tries to find the players who fit
his culture and match his program’s values on and
off the court.
“In our situation we had three players transfer
from the program,” Newbauer said. “When you
take over a job it is unique because they didn’t pick
me. I didn’t recruit them. Our staff didn’t recruit
them, vice versa, so that first year is always inter-
esting situation with players that were brought in
under a different staff. “
“I think it is always OK if there is some sort of
relief in those situations. Then you always have
situations where players are just unhappy with
playing time. I think they do a pretty good job
with the waiver process. All are different because
you’re never in the room and understand what it is
they’re saying in the waiver and what they’ve went
through, so I think every situation is unique. I do
think you need to be cognizant of each situation
being unique because with that being said some
other sports are eligible immediately. I don’t think
we should have that. If that starts happening in
our game and in the men’s game, it could get pret-
ty slimy if people know they could leave in Decem-
ber and play in January.”
But NCAA rules permit graduate transfers to
be eligible immediately at another school if they
complete their undergraduate work and enroll to
pursue graduate studies. There currently is talk
the NCAA could make all graduate transfers eli-
gible immediately.
Newbauer said a player’s eligibility the follow-
ing school year “depends on circumstances.” He
said every situation is unique, but he said he would
be for having players be immediately eligible if
they go through a coaching change, have a family
member who is sick and want to move closer to
home, or are in a program that is hit with NCAA
infractions.
Nakkasoglu said she wouldn’t want players to
be eligible immediately after transferring because
she feels it would create a free-for-all. But she also
doesn’t know why student-athletes have to sit out
a year if a coach who recruited them to a school
leaves that institution for another school.
Regardless of how the rules will be set in the
future, Nakkasoglu acknowledges there often is a
negative connotation about players who transfer.
Still, she said she would encourage players to trust
their feelings, which is what she did, and do what
they think is best for them because it can work out.
“People talk all of the time,” Nakkasoglu said.
“There is always someone who is going to say
something regardless of what move you make.
Even if you stay at the school you initially signed
to, there are probably going to be haters there, too,
so 100 percent. I think people talk and say things,
but if people want to get closer to family mem-
bers, if there is something going on with family
or close to them, there are legitimate excuses and
people should be able to live their lives knowing
that change is a possibility and change is going to
happen in your life, and if it does happen whether
people talk or not, they should take that challenge
on, take that change on, and go with their gut.”

Cullum

in a 24-18 victory against
Marshall Academy in
West Point.
For his accomplish-
ments, Cullum is The Dis-
patch’s Prep Player of the
Week.
“The line is blocking
and everybody is getting in
football form,” Cullum said.
“Everybody is finally com-
ing together and knowing
what to do.”
Cullum said improved
footwork and maturity have
been the two keys to his
development. He said he
a better understanding of
how important timing is to
the Raiders’ offense. Early
in the season, Cullum said
his feet weren’t set when
he threw the football. As a
result, he wasn’t “on time”
and wasn’t as accurate as
he wanted to be. Cullum
said better footwork has
enabled him to get the ball
out on three-step drops to
kick things moving quick-
ly.
“A lot of it came from ex-
perience and watching and
listening to coach Craven
and previous quarterback
Buddy Dill (who is helping
as a coach),” Cullum said.
“He is a fanatic about foot-
work. He had amazing foot-
work. I have just started
to listen to coach Craven a
little bit more and pay atten-
tion to what he is saying in-
stead of just going out there
and trying it.”

Oak Hill Academy coach
Chris Craven said experi-
ence is one of the greatest
teachers. He said that has
been the case with Cullum,
who is in his first season as
the team’s starting quar-
terback. He acknowledged
Cullum suffered through
some growing pains early
in the season, but he said
he is proud of him for stay-
ing focused, listening to the
coaches, and working hard
to address areas he needed
to improve in.
“He has matured some,”
said Craven, who is the
team’s offensive coordina-
tor. “He definitely is more
mature now than when
he started. If you’re going
to be the commander in
charge of the offense and
lead your peers, you have
to step up to the plate.”
Craven said Cullum has
done that by being more
disciplined. He said it has
been a “gradual process”
as Cullum has studied
film and worked on his
footwork. Craven said the
repetitions have helped the
left-handed Cullum to grow
more comfortable in an of-
fense that does runs out of
a variety of looks and uses
read-pass options and pass-
pass options to maximize
its potential.
Against Marshall Acad-
emy, Cullum had two
touchdown passes to Collin
Coggins to help close the
regular season in style on
Senior Night.
“Friday night was a
game-of-the-week thing,
and it was his best game by
far,” Craven said. “He was
calm and ran a lot of option
and triple options and read
football and made good
reads and made good pass-
es. He was throwing the
ball well and looked like a
quarterback and a doggone
leader.
“I am very proud of him
and his effort. Friday night
was Senior Night, and he
played like a senior quar-
terback for us and he did
really, really good.”

The 24-year-old Coo-

after leaving Oakland’s last
game against Seattle on
Oct. 14.
Dallas receivers have

er doesn’t compare to the
preseason trade that sent
two-time All-Pro pass rush-
er Khalil Mack to Chicago.
But it is another example of
the Raiders (1-5) looking to
the future.
Oakland figures to have
a good shot at the No. 1
overall pick in 2019, and
now has three first-round-
ers with the Cooper trade.
“This is where we get a
great opportunity to build,”
McKenzie said. “We’ve
got pieces now, but we can
really rebuild on what we
have. With this group, the
coaches that I’ve got here,
knowing where we’re head-
ing schematically on both
sides of the ball and special

thing really well.”
Cooper was the third
receiver started his career
with back-to-back seasons
with 1,000 yards receiving
and 70 catches, following
Odell Beckham Jr. and
Marques Colston but has
been unable to build on that
success the past two years.
He has just 70 catches
for 960 yards since the start
of 2016 as his inconsistency
has become a bigger prob-
lem. Cooper has been held
under 30 yards receiving
in 13 of his past 26 games.
Cooper has 3,183 yards and
19 touchdowns in three-
plus seasons.
The Raiders have now
dealt two key pieces away
from a 12-win team in 2016
and look to be in major re-
building mode now.

It was also a big night
for Giorgio Tavecchio,
who was signed during the
week to fill in for injured At-
lanta kicker Matt Bryant.
The native of Milan, Italy,
made all three of his field
goal attempts, including a
56-yarder that was the lon-
gest of his career.
“That kick was good
from about 65 yards,” Ryan
said.
Facing one of the NFL’s
worst defenses, New York
botched its best scoring
chance by going for a touch-
down on fourth-and-goal
from the 1 early in the third
quarter. To the surprise of

ants stumble through the
season, Eli Manning’s pass

Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY:
I have two sons,
14 and 10. I just
got married a year
ago. My husband,
“Kurt,” has taken
on the father role
and does pretty
well, although I
think he some-
times goes a little
overboard.
He and my
oldest son, “Eli-
jah,” worked on a
roof together, and
because my son
made $200 plus
Dear Abby
a $70 bonus, Kurt
got upset with Elijah when he
used his money to buy an Xbox.
Kurt thinks Elijah should have
bought clothes, toiletries and
other things he needs because
we aren’t rich. I agree to an ex-
tent, but it’s gotten out of hand.
Now Kurt is so upset that he
doesn’t want to give Elijah an-
other opportunity to make more
money for himself. He really
made a huge stink about how
Elijah spent his money. What to
do? – VERY FRUSTRATED MOM
IN MICHIGAN
DEAR MOM: “What to do” is
to calmly and privately remind
your husband that Elijah is 14,
and his decisions are not always
mature ones. Then suggest he
and Elijah work out an agree-
ment that in the future when
Elijah earns money, a certain

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
23). You’re in charge and you’ll
feel it, enjoying the power of
being able to steer your life
where you want it to go. High-
lights of this solar return include
teaching a group and changing
lives, conducting and receiving
the warmth of community and a
win for your family that makes
life easier for those you love the

Your lucky numbers are: 5, 50,
38, 22 and 45.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The group will throw out plenty
of ideas, yours being the best.
Now you’ll have to convince the
others, keeping in mind that it’s
not the best idea that wins, it’s
the most popular one. Strate-

son fell to the turf.
Manning was sacked
four times but was 27-for-
38 for 399 yards. Beckham
had eight catches for 143
yards, pushing him past
5,000 yards in his career.
Sterling Shepard had five
catches for 167 yards on
five receptions.
Both teams got off to
sluggish starts offensively.
The Falcons failed to cross
midfield on their first three
possessions, and the Giants
weren’t much better.
Then, suddenly, Atlanta
struck for two big plays to
grab the lead. Ryan went
down the left sideline to
tight end Austin Hooper
for a 36-yard gain, pushing
the Falcons into New York
territory for the first time.

budgeting, and

should learn.
DEAR ABBY:
My parents – both
in their early 90s
– have lived with
me for three years
because they
need care. We have maintained
their home all this time, but
they will never be able to return
there.
Although my parents are
somewhat cognizant, both
suffer with mild dementia and
haven’t been back to their
house for nearly two years. We
have enlisted the help of an
auctioneer and are planning to
sell their house and much of the
belongings and furniture. Our
dilemma is whether or not to
tell them. I’m not sure whether
it’s kinder to let them believe
things are as they have been or
tell them differently. – WHAT’S
RIGHT? IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR WHAT’S RIGHT?: You
say your parents suffer from
mild dementia. The respectful
thing to do would be to have a
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Things still have to change, but
some days you get tired of think-
ing of all the ways they must.
It’s OK to give yourself a break,
to relax and enjoy the transition
that’s already underway.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
It is difficult, if not impossi-
ble, for people to give what
they themselves have never
received. Consider this when
you seek out your next source
of love, understanding, wisdom,
knowledge and more.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Right now you’re curious and
open, putting feelers into the
world. When you clearly see
and deeply feel that a cause is
worth fighting for, you’ll go all
in and find no greater happi-
breaking free down the
middle of the field, hitting
him perfectly in stride for
the touchdown.
Coleman’s touchdown
with seven-and-a-half min-
utes remaining gave the
Falcons some breathing
room, but the Giants finally
showed some life.
Manning completed
five passes for 61 yards
before Saquon Barkley
powered over from the
-yard line with 4 minutes,
47 seconds remaining for
New York’s first touch-
down. Coach Pat Shur-
mur decided to go for
the two-point conversion,
looking to put his team in
position to win with an-
other score, but Beckham
couldn’t hang on to Man-
ning’s pass.
talk with them about it before
you do anything. When you do,
remind them that because it
has been two years, and main-
taining two households is so
expensive, you think this would
be the prudent thing to do.
You didn’t mention whether
you have your parents’ power
of attorney, but if you don’t, you
should discuss what you’re plan-
ning to do with your lawyer.
DEAR ABBY: I thought I’d
share this in reference to the
Aug. 22 letter from “Bedroom
Secret,” the religious man who
feels guilty for using graphic
language while making love
with his wife. It reminded me of
a joke about a young married
couple who asked their clergy-
man if it was a sin to have sex
before Sunday morning church
services. His reply: “It’s fine
as long as you don’t block the
aisle.” – CHUCKLING IN RUT-
LAND, VERMONT
DEAR CHUCKLING: Funny!
Your joke reminds ME of a quote
from the late playwright Oscar
Wilde, who said, “I have no
objection to anyone’s sex life
as long as they don’t practice
it in the street and frighten the
horses.”

ness in life than this purposeful
sacrifice.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Adaptability is one of your many
gifts. You can quickly get used
to even the most astonishing
things when you want to or have
to. And yet you’re still discern-
ing and cannot be convinced if
you’re not feeling it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You want to let people know you
support them and that you care
enough to check in and make
sure they’re all right. The trick
is to do this without crossing
any sort of boundary that might
classify you as a busybody.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
It would be much easier just to
handle problems for your peo-
ple. But then you’ll have to do
that every time, and when you’re
not around they’ll suffer. So the
kind thing is to train them to be
self-sufficient.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Some think being busy
is a status symbol. It makes
them feel important. Others see
leisure as a status symbol. It
means they can afford it. The
pacing of your day will feel so
perfect as to render status rank-
ings moot.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Unexpressed wishes and
desires can be like subma-
rines: invisible below the waves
though still carrying the poten-
tial to torpedo your mood. Bring
your aspirations to the surface
where they will no longer be a
threat.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). If someone is trying to
bring you down, it’s because
that person perceives you as
being high above him or her. You
might take it as a compliment.
Even so, step out of range.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). If you wait for inspira-
tion, you’ll miss out on all the
delicious creativity that starts to
trickle in once you get working.
And inspiration is only one of
the many things not worth wait-
ing for today. Get moving and
see what happens.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Your growing power will im-
pact those around you, though
they’ll try to hide it. It’s wise to
be humble and quiet about your
success, if not out of modesty,
then out of strategy.
