‘The thrill of the hunt’
Kevin Pugh, of Cedarbluff, takes aim at a helice target during a match at Prairie Wildlife in West Point. Prairie
Wildlife opened its new helice range, the first in the state, in March, allowing shooters to fire at targets that can
be launched in any direction at different speeds, unlike traditional clay shooting.

Mike Duke began helice shoot-
ing as a challenge from friend Jim-
my Bryan.
The West Point native had nev-
er before tried shooting at targets
which, unlike traditional clay shoot-
ing, could be launched in multiple
directions, meaning he’d have to
be quicker than usual to aim at and
hit the targets. Duke ended up win-
ning when he brought down more
targets within the proper area than
Bryan.

gave way to an anxious
murmur when it was
apparent that Fitzgerald
had not bounced back
to his feet as he always
does.
Bulldog fans had seen
this before, of course.
In last year’s Egg Bowl,
Fitzgerald went down and
stayed down, suffering
a badly dislocated ankle
that led to a bitter loss to
their upstate rivals.
So, for a few worri-
some minutes Saturday
afternoon as the MSU
training staff rushed out
to attend to their stricken
QB, Bulldog fans mulled
that bit of deja vu and
perhaps wondered what
the heck Fitzgerald was
doing still playing in a
game that was, for all in-
tents and purposes, over
soon after halftime.
After a few minutes,
Fitzgerald got to his feet
and trotted toward the
sideline as the remainder
of the 57,772 fans in Davis
Wade Stadium sighed
and worried about wheth-
er their quarterback
would be healthy for that
Egg Bowl rematch five
days hence.
On the next play, back-
up Keytaon Thompson’s
19-yard TD pass was
wiped out by a holding
penalty.
Fitzgerald trotted on
the field and hit Austin

Williams for a 19-yard
TD pass, his fourth of the
game.
That sequence, MSU
coach Joe Moorhead
said, pretty much sums
up Fitzgerald’s career at
MSU. In his three years
as a starter, it hasn’t
always been pretty —
his first start lasted just
three, three-out-out
series — and there have
been times when his
abilities have been open
for debate.
He’s gotten knocked
around a lot, had some
notable failures and
jaw-dropping success.
He has failed and he
has prevailed.
And on Saturday,
senior day for Fitzgerald
and 19 of his fellow MSU
players, the one quality
that he has consistently
displayed may have been
most evident in that short
fourth-quarter sequence
when matters had already
been decided.
“It was absolutely
representative of Nick’s
competitiveness and style
of play,” said Moorhead.
“He’s a guy that’s going
to play 100 percent, 100
percent of the time.”
For his part, the
ever-stoic senior quarter-
back seemed oblivious
to the angst his brief exit
had caused the home
crowd.
@
“It was a run play and
I kind of got thrown to
the ground on my face,”
he said. “There was this
big baseball-size clump
of grass that just stuck
to my face(mask) and
I couldn’t get it out. So
I just sat there, trying
to get it off my helmet.
Finally, the training staff
came out and got it off
and I came out. I was
completely fine.”
Getting thrown to
ground on his face is
something completely
fine for Fitzgerald. He’s
the Timex watch of
quarterbacks: He takes
a lickin’ and keeps on
tickin’, as the old adver-
tisement goes.
He seems to enjoy the
pounding.
In his 43 games,
Fitzgerald has kept the
ball and the punishment
that often goes with it 563
times. His 3,391 rushing
yards are the most ever
for an SEC quarterback
and his career 43 rushing
TDs are second among
SEC quarterbacks.
But it has been his
passing that has at times
drawn the most criticism.
His career 57.4 comple-
tion rate is, well, pedestri-
an and, probably as much
as anything, explains
MSU’s offensive inconsis-
tency.

Dem’s lobbying work
draws GOP ire in
Mississippi Senate race
Espy spokesman: Candidate
ended lobbying contract after
realizing his Ivory Coast client
‘didn’t pass the smell test’
By JEFF AMY and EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Republicans in
Mississippi’s intensifying U.S.
Senate race are slamming Dem-
ocrat Mike Espy’s lobbying work
for an African leader who was later
deposed and charged with crimes
against humanity.
Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-
Espy
Smith and a GOP campaign group
have launched ads questioning whether Espy
lied about his work for Ivory Coast ex-President
Laurent Gbagbo, who is on trial at the Interna-
tional Criminal Court. Fox News reported on Es-
py’s lobbying work Thursday.
Federal registration papers show Espy was
hired by the Cocoa and Coffee Board of the Ivory
Coast from Jan. 1 to March 15 in 2011, collect-
ing $750,000 before terminating the contract two

weeks before its scheduled end.
“He lied because he said he cancelled the con-
tract and there’s evidence to the contrary that he
did not,” Hyde-Smith campaign spokeswoman
Melissa Scallan said Friday. “Also, that he was
willing to have a contract with someone who is
now on trial in international court is, I think, tell-
ing.”
For days the Espy campaign and Democratic
groups have hammered Hyde-Smith over her vid-

around like a pinata, Fitz-
gerald can take in stride.
But the ups and downs
are far more difficult to
swallow.
“Sometimes, you see
things the right way,” he
said. “Sometimes you’re
making all the reads the
right way. Sometimes
you’re struggling.”
With just two games
left in his career —
Thursday’s Egg Bowl
at Ole Miss and a bowl
game — Fitzgerald is still
looking for the consis-
tency that has eluded
himself and the Bulldogs
throughout the year.
Whether the Bulldogs
find that consistency in
the two remaining games
is not certain.
But there is one thing
you may rely on with
confidence.
“Nick has got a bull-

head said. “That’s been
true of every single game
he’s played.”

Rev. James B. Hatch, Jr. went
to live with Jesus Saturday,
September 8th 2018. He was
living at The Blake assisted
living facility in Oxford, MS,
with his wife of 65 years, Joyce.
Cathi Dodgen, his oldest child,

make sure he got the best of
care and attention.
He was born in Sharon, PA on April 14, 1926.
He enlisted in the Navy at the end of WW II and
then enrolled at Auburn University, where he
played tennis, was a cheerleader and graduated
with a degree in Engineering. After graduation,
he was commissioned into the U.S. Army, where
his distinguished career included combat duty
in Korea and Vietnam. He retired from military
service as a Lt. Colonel in 1968. He began his
service to our Lord in 1971 when he graduated
from Union Theological Seminary with a
Masters in Divinity and was ordained a minister
of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian
Church. He and Joyce served congregations in
Columbus and Port Gibson, MS, Bessemer, Al.

children, Cathi Dodgen(Tony), Jim Hatch
(Cathy), Sharon Backstrom (Forrest), Laura
Power(Brian) and David Hatch; and many nieces

more than 22 years, and for the past twelve years
he served as a Port of Entry officer with the
Colorado State Patrol. He taught Bible, math and
physical education for a year at Calvary Murrieta
Christian Schools in Murrieta, California. David
also was a white water rafting guide for 18 years
on the Colorado River as well as the Arkansas
River.
An outdoor enthusiast, he was an avid cyclist
and spent much of his time riding the roads and
mountain passes in Colorado. David was also a
mountaineer and climbed many of the state’s
most challenging 14,000-foot peaks.
A lifelong learner, he enjoyed studying
Reformed Christian theology, defending his
faith through apologetics and polemics. He was
an active member of Village Seven Presbyterian
Church in Colorado Springs.

“Game weekends have
always been automatic,”
he said.
Airbnb allows users to
rent out their properties
— which can be an entire
building or a portion of it
— to guests. The service
uses an online market-
place where guests can
browse available listings
and book in advance.
Taylor said he’s never
missed a guest on a home
football weekend since he
started hosting in 2014.
This weekend’s MSU
game against the Univer-
sity of Arkansas is the
first, due to a guest can-
celing late in the week.
But through the years,
as his Airbnb has grown
in popularity for use out-
side of football weekends,
Taylor said MSU’s home
games have always been a
bedrock, and he said they
go early.
“They go three or four
months out,” he said. “If
you wait ‘til the last min-
ute, you will not get one
here.”
Taylor is one of doz-
ens of Airbnb hosts in
the Starkville area who
have seen a boom in busi-
nesses from MSU football
games.
According to a press
release Airbnb is-
sued during the week,
Starkville hosts have wel-
comed more than 1,700
guests during home foot-
ball games this fall — a
number which included a
projected 290 guests for
Saturday’s game against
Arkansas.
Those guest arrivals
have generated more
than $240,000 total in
supplemental income
for Airbnb hosts. Airbnb
projected that Arkansas
visitors would generate
about $40,000 in income
for hosts.
Visitors using the ser-
vice peaked for the Uni-
versity of Florida game,
with 330 guests generat-
ing $56,000 the weekend
of Sept. 28-29. MSU’s
game against Texas A&M
University on the week-
end of Oct. 26-27 drew
300 guests and generated
$51,000.
While Airbnb’s fig-
ures are for hosts within
Starkville’s city limits,
and Taylor’s Airbnb is
located near Crawford

Ben Breit said it’s not
surprising to see that Tay-
lor, and other hosts near
Starkville, have benefit-

“We do expect there
would be some trickle

Roses and thorns
A rose to Columbus mayor
Robert Smith and all the donors
and volunteers for making sure
the city’s senior citizens got an
early “taste of the holidays” during
Thursday’s 12th annual Senior Citizens Thanks-
giving luncheon at the Trotter Center. An estimat-
ed 1,200 people turned out for the lunch, which
featured traditional Thanksgiving fare. For some,
it may well be their only real Thanksgiving meal.
For others, it was a gesture of goodwill for senior
citizens, who are often neglected in the rush of ac-
tivities the holidays often produce. This was more
than a meal, it was a chance for seniors to come
together in a social setting and a reminder that
the city of Columbus values and respects “the old
folks.”
A rose to area high school
juniors, their teachers, support staff
and parents for their performances
on the annual ACT test. Columbus
High School juniors increased
ACT scores in spring 2018, while Starkville High
School and Lowndes County School District
record higher scores than the state average.
Although still three points below the state
average of 17.8, CHS juniors raised their scores
by 0.3 points to 15. Meanwhile, juniors in the
Lowndes County School District performed above
the state average with a composite 18.2 score
while Starkville High juniors raised their average
to 18.0 after a 17.9 showing last year. Caledonia
High juniors improved by 0.1 points, to 19.3.
While much work remains to be done, cer-
tainly the gains shown in this year’s testing is a
positive sign. Keep it up, kids!
A rose to the Association for
the Preservation of Antiquities in
Columbus and Lowndes County,
which on Tuesday will hold its
58th annual Country Store Bake
Sale at the Stephen D. Lee Home in Columbus.
It’s a highlight in the community’s countdown
to Thanksgiving, a tradition that started after a
1959 fire destroyed Lee High School’s original
location on Seventh Street. The Lee Home – once
the school’s home economics department – was
severely damaged, but immediate efforts by con-
cerned citizens saved the structure from demoli-
tion. They were given permission to restore the
former home of CSA Gen. Stephen D. Lee, first
president of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College of Mississippi – now Mississippi State
University. Over the years, the bake sale has
generated thousands to preserve and enhance the
home, which now serves as the site of weddings,
receptions, meetings and educational events. The
Lee Home serves as a reminder of how a commu-
nity, working together, can turn a devastating loss
into something positive for the community.
A rose to St. Paul’s Episcopal
Church, whose Martha Claire
Kennedy Fitzner Concert Series
returns today with a performance
by award-winning organist Joby
Bell of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.
Bell will play St. Paul’s Aeolian Skinner pipe
organ, which offers magnificent variety, “from
the softest tones to the magnificent trompette
en chamade above the center aisle,” said visiting
North Carolina organist Joby Bell.
The 17-rank organ was installed in 1953 to
replace the Pilcher organ of 1885. With additions
in 2007 and 2014, the impressive instrument
features over 2,000 pipes and 19 ranks of digi-
tal stops, making it the equivalent of a 36-rank
organ. The concert series honors the memory
of longtime active St. Paul’s member Martha
Claire Fitzner, who died in 2015. In addition to
her many leadership and service contributions
to the church and St. Paul’s Episcopal School,
Fitzner impacted the lives of children and families
throughout the community as a beloved teacher
at Heritage Academy for nearly two decades.
Voice of the people
News analysis: Let’s find humanness
If you are interested in reading everyday news,
you will have mixed feelings. Some news you like
it, some you don’t. Some is painful reading and
some you even cry or become angry. As a human
this is normal.
A couple of weeks back, I read news headline,
“barbed wire is a beautiful sight.” Really? Looks
like our definition of beauty has changed. Though
I know, “beauty is in the eye of beholder.” At the
same time, I understand how painful it was when
Lord Jesus was given crown of thorns during
crucifixion.
On the other hand, I was extremely disturbed
when I read in this 21st century, someone in this
state made casual reference to hanging in public
places. Readers, it is Saudi custom to chop off
heads in public places. I call it Bedouin culture.
Hanging in public places takes place in Iran or
North Korea. It happened decades ago in the U.S.
too. Are we ready to watch it here now? That is
why a few weeks back I wrote “choice of words
matters.”
I am sure everyone will like to read that a man
in his late 80s and a woman in her 90s got mar-
ried recently. That’s where lies love and beauty.

‘ONE NATION UNDER GOD’ Columbus bank to grow past

$1B as it buys Alabama bank
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — A Mississippi
bank’s assets will grow to more than
$1 billion as it buys an Alabama bank.
BankFirst Capital Corp. of Colum-
bus announced this week that it was
buying FNB Bancshares of Central
Alabama, based in Tuscaloosa.
Chief Financial Officer Luke Yeat-
man declines to say how much Bank-
First is paying or whether the price is
paid in stock, cash or a combination.
He notes both banks are privately
held.
FNB of Central Alabama has $273
million in assets and five offices in
the western part of the state. The
combined bank will have more than
$1.2 billion in assets and 22 offices in
Mississippi and Alabama.
The Mississippi bank says it
expects to complete the purchase
before the end of March, pending
approval by FNB Banchares’ share-
holders and regulators.

Helice field
Continued from Page 1A
Now Duke, Cabinis
and other shooters in
and around the Golden
Triangle area can experi-
ence the sport at Prairie
Wildlife, a conservation
and hunting estate in
West Point which Duke’s
friend Bryan owns. Prai-
rie Wildlife offers shoots,
clay hunts and corporate
outings where guests can
hunt quail, dove, pheas-
ant, white-tailed deer,
rabbit and more. And as
of last March, it’s home to
Mississippi’s first helice
field.
“Our numbers are be-
ginning to climb,” Prairie
Wildlife shooting instruc-
tor Xavier Fairley said. “It
has been so successful
that we are going to build
three fields. One is done,
the groundwork has been
laid for the second one. A
third one is in the works,
too. To attract some of the
top tournaments in the
Southeast, we need three
ranges.”
A helice course can in-
clude up to five launchers
arranged in a semicircle
in the front of the shoot-
ing post. The launchers
go off in random order,
so the shooter has no idea
where the next bird will
fly.
“That is why helice
shooters prefer this
game,” Fairley said. “The
target can fly in any di-
rection from any target.
In clay shooting, you can
succeed with good mem-
orization skills. That’s not
the case here. The targets
can fly at any speed in any
direction, other than back
at the hunter.”
Participants are 27 me-
ters from the machines,
which are set according
to the wind and are about
20 feet from a fence. The
goal is to shoot targets
before they drop over the
fence.
The scoring system is
straightforward with kills
being counted when they
land in the proper area.
“The spontaneity is
what makes this sport
great,” Birmingham na-
tive David Holland said.
“It’s a game of skill and
luck at the same time. You
have to analyze the condi-
tions and be able to react.
It’s a different kind of
hunting, but it’s exciting
and highly competitive.
We compete against one
another but at the end of
day, we are all friends.”

He added planning for

months with a close eye
on how other fields were
set up. While there are no

Texas.
Duke said great detail

of the helice field in West

ed into the fields.”
The growth of the
sport has justified the
need to build the fields in
West Point, Fairley said.

Special to The Dispatch
WEST POINT — It was a little late
to the party Friday, but West Point
High’s “dog” finally showed up against
Lafayette County.
Through three quarters, the West
Point defense had struggled to get off
the field on third and fourth downs.
Lafayette set the tone with three third-
down conversions on its first scor-
ing drive, including one for a 10-yard
touchdown run.
The Commodores also converted
two fourth downs, including a fourth-
and-5 in West Point territory that set
up a score for a 20-12 lead late in the
third quarter.
But West Point, buoyed by two long
kick returns and a resurgent offense,
scored on the money downs when it
mattered most. Sophomore defensive

“(The formation is) beast. That is

Harris had 17 carries for 124 yards

Davis’ 30-point night not enough for Ole Miss to beat Butler
From Special Reports
INDIANAPOLIS — Terence
Davis had a season-high 30
points Friday night, but the Ole
Miss men’s basketball team lost
to Butler 83-76 at Hinkle Field-
house.
Davis was 10-for16 from the
field and finished three points
shy of his career high. The senior
had 21 points in the first half. He
matched his career high of six
3-pointers made in the game.
Owls (4-1) a 55-53 lead. Starlandria
Walton pushed the tempo and scored
on a layup to kick the lead to 57-53.
Remember, though, nothing came
easily on this day.
White Jr. reminded his players not to
let point guard Shaniqua Tobias shoot
a 3-pointer by yelling, “Don’t let her
shoot it,” but the Owls didn’t respond
and gave Tobias enough room at the
top of the key to hit the triple to cut the
deficit to 57-56 with 1:08 remaining.
Rokila Wallace (15 points) missed
a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession,
which allowed the Pilots to call their
final timeout with 36 seconds to go.
With seven seconds on the shot clock,
Doylin Onikoyi was fouled on a base-
line drive with 18.4 seconds to play.
Onikoyi missed both free throws and
the Pilots were forced to foul twice to
put the Owls on the free-throw line.
Wallace made 1 of 2 free throws, but
Keiara Williams missed 3-pointer to
help the Owls survive.

Paul Jorgenson had a ca-

also had 21 points in the first half.
Entering the game as two of
the best shooting teams in the
country, the matchup lived up
to that expectation early. Butler
nailed five of its first six shots,
while the Rebels started out 4 of 6
from the field. After the Bulldogs
got off to a 5-0 lead, head coach
Kermit Davis elected to switch to
the 1-3-1 zone. The move paid off
as Ole Miss forced a pair of turn-

mer college basketball coach
and a longtime evaluator, de-
scribed Jackson as an “athlet-

pect who drains jumpers to

and attacks coast to coast in
the transition game. She man-
ufactures shots, rises on her
jumper in the mid-range game
with body control to rim, and
is a shot-maker who yields re-
sults. She is a coveted prospect
in the Class of 2019.”
Jackson had narrowed her
college choices to MSU, South

eliminating Rutgers earlier
this week.

cross country at the fourth-highest finish in program history. This is the
third straight year the Rebel men have scored at least one All-American

Senior Mark Robertson concluded his Rebel career with his best
NCAA finish in 91st (career-best 30:33.2), while SEC Freshman of the
Year Cade Bethmann finished 93rd (personal-best 30:33.6). Freshman

desperate Eagles
By BRET T MARTEL
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — If the Philadelphia
Eagles are to snap out of their Super Bowl
hangover and re-establish a measure of cred-
ibility to their title defense, this would be the
week to do it.
The Eagles (4-5) visit the Superdome on
Sunday to take on the Saints (8-1), whose
eight straight victories represent the longest
active winning streak in the NFL.
When the season began, the Eagles’ visit
looked like one of the tougher games on New
Orleans’ schedule. Now, odds makers are list-
ing the surging Saints, who lead the NFL in
scoring with 36.7 points per game, as favor-
ites by more than a touchdown.
Still, the Saints sound wary of underestimat-
ing the team that upended the New England Pa-
triots in the Super Bowl just nine months ago.
“They’re still a good team no matter what
their record is,” Saints running back Alvin
Kamara insisted. “They wouldn’t have won
last year if they didn’t have the talent.”
Kamara’s take is no surprise to Philadel-
phia coach Doug Pederson, who asserted that
when you’re the defending champs, “you get
everybody’s best each week.”
Pederson even recalled pep-talks he gave
his team last season in which he said, “Listen,
if you want to be one of the best teams in the
league, we have to beat the best. And I know
teams are saying that about us, and we just ha-
ven’t lived up to how we’re capable of playing
in a couple of situations this year.”
They need to start living up to their capa-
bilities now. A loss in New Orleans, combined
with a Washington win, would put the Eagles
three games down in the NFC East with six
games left.
That makes Philadelphia the more des-
perate team in this game, and in the NFL, a
combination of talent and desperation can be
dangerous.
“They are a prideful group. They know
how to win,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees
said. “They have a ton of playmakers over
there. We have our work cut out for us and
we know what type of game it’s going to be.
We know they’re coming in hungry for a win.
Both teams have a lot to play for.”
Some other key story lines in the Ea-
gles-Saints matchup:
SLOW STARTS
The Eagles have scored only 21 points in the
first quarter, including 14 against the Giants
after a turnover set up a short field. Pederson
scripts the first 15 plays and they have often re-
sulted in more negative yards than positive.
Pederson said he bases his script on watch-
ing film of the opponent and tries to avoid re-
peating play calls and giving away indicators.
It’s not working.
“In the case of some of our struggles, it
has just been our execution,” Pederson said.
“How we start games, that’s where the ur-
gency, I think, coaches, players, everybody
involved really needs to sort of heighten, so
that we can stay on the field and go down and
score points.”
BREES APPRECIATION
Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz
didn’t have to spend a lot of time watching
highlights of Brees throwing interceptions
or getting sacked. Brees has one pick and
he’s been sacked nine times, none in the past
three games.
“He’s playing at an insane level right now,”
Schwartz said. “Extremely accurate quarter-
back, smart, knows where to go with the ball.
Still has good mobility, can buy time.”
It doesn’t help Philadelphia’s case that
starting cornerback Ronald Darby went down
with a torn ACL last week. Jalen Mills, the
starter opposite Darby, has been limited by
a foot injury. Starting nickel cornerback Sid-
ney Jones has missed the past three games
because of a hamstring injury. Also, starting
safety Rodney McLeod already was lost for
the season with a knee injury.
“We’ve got some young players that need
to fill in and make their way in the league,”
Schwartz said. “Our job as players and coach-
es is work to find a formula that works for the
guys that we have.”

West Point
Continued from Page 2B
“The guys who have
come before, Marcus
Murphy and many others,
have mentored me to this
position, and gave me the
rock to carry,” Harris said.
“It is a blessing. God was
on our shoulder, and we
are going to keep playing
hard.”
Harris and the Green
Wave (12-1) secured their
only lead early in the
fourth quarter. Out of the
beast-cat formation, Har-
ris pounded his way into
the end zone from 7 yards
out, utilizing three pulling
blockers to find pay dirt.
Jose Lemus added his lone
extra point.
“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 to-
night. We have things we
need to clean up by next
week.”
Although West Point
had the lead, the win
wasn’t secured without
some drama. Lafayette
had one more shot after
West Point coughed up the
football with less than two
minutes in the game deep
inside Lafayette territory.
Junior quarterback Randy
Anderson led his offense
to the West Point 31-yard
line before his final heave
for the end zone was bat-
ted down by Ryan Melton
and Tyler Rupert at the
goal line.
“It is playoff football,
and neither team is going
to go away lightly,” West
Point coach Chris Cham-
bless said. “Our defense
stepped up immensely
during the second half,
and I know Lafayette did
not want to end their sea-
son. We just dug deep and
bowed up.”
Harris (six touches for
48 yards) and the West
Point offense were sti-
fled in the first half. The
offense had 85 rushing
yards and 130 total yards
West Point High School running back Jimothy Mays carries the ball against Lafayette
County on Friday night in West Point.
by halftime. The total was
47 yards less than the
Commodores.
Harris then blew the
doors off following the
intermission. The junior
touched the ball 11 times
and nearly doubled his
output with 76 yards. The
success came mainly out
of the “Beast-cat” forma-
tion that provided so much
success for Harris, who
has back-to-back 100-plus-
yard games. It also was
the catalyst for a 189-yard
rushing output in the final
two quarters.
“When we scored
first in the second half,
we knew the momentum
shifted,” Chambless said.
“We stuck with run and
threw it when we needed
to do it. As a staff, we know
Brandon Harris can carry
the workload, but that can
be said about all our run-
ning backs. When their
number is called, they an-
swer it.”
West Point trailed by
The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com
eight points at halftime,
but the momentum shifted
after the first two minutes
of the second half. After a
kickoff return to midfield
and a facemask penalty
on the return moved the
ball into Lafayette territo-
ry, West Point marched 38
yards in five plays. Harris
rushed for 25 yards to the
Lafayette to set up Kamer-
on Martin’s plunge into
the end zone. The two-
point conversion failed.
The Green Wave con-
tinued the rally later in the
quarter. After Lafayette
stretched its advantage to
eight points again, Ryan
Melton returned the ensu-
ing kickoff 73 yards to the
Commodores’ 5. Three
plays later, Harris went to
his left, broke two tackles,
and rumbled into the end
zone. Attempting to tie
the game, Jake Chambless
used misdirection to find a
wide-open Sema’J Harris
on the back side of the end
zone to tie it at 20.
David Miller/Special to The Dispatch
“We played well in the
first half, but we changed
gears in the second half,”
Chambless said.
In the first half, it was
all Lafayette. Anderson
rushed 10 times for 61
yards and two touchdowns
to give Lafayette a 14-6
lead. Anderson scored on
the game’s opening score
to cap the 14-play series.
He extended the lead to
eight points before half-
time with a 1-yard sneak.
The win propels West
Point, the two-time
reigning Class 5A State
champions, to its fourth-
straight Class 5A North
Half Championship Game.
It also extended West
Point’s winning streak to
10 games. West Point will
play host to Olive Branch,
which defeated Holmes
County 21-0, at 7 p.m.
Friday in West Point. It is
a rematch from the regu-
lar season and last year’s
North Half championship
game.

Quantaze Powell stuffed a
fourth-and-5 quarterback
sweep at midfield in the
fourth quarter.
“I practiced and
watched film all week, so
I kind of expected certain
plays to be there,” Thom-
as said, “so I just executed
and made a great play.”
West Point earned its
final third-down stop as
time expired when Tyler
Rupert broke up a pass
intended for Brandon Tur-
nage in the end zone. The
stop enabled West Point
to clinch a 27-20 come-
back win to advance in the
Class 5A playoffs.
West Point coach Chris
Chambless credited “the
dog.”
“We have two gears:
full speed and full speed
with ‘that dog’ in us,”
Chambless said. “We told
them at halftime, ‘Let’s
get that dog in us. Let’s
not be the ones to flinch.
Let’s get the job done.’
“My hats off to Lafay-
ette County. Those guys
are good, and we knew
it coming in. We were
locked in all week. They
were locked in all week …
I knew it was going to be
a good old-fashioned foot-
ball game.”
Ty Orr led West Point’s
defense with 12 tackles,
including one for a loss.
Brandon Lairy and Jaylun
Cungious had eight tack-
les and a stop for a loss.
The Green Wave,
which allowed 134 rush-
ing yards on 20 carries,
held the Commodores to
8 rushing yards in the sec-
ond half.
Much of Lafayette’s
rushing success came on
inside and outside zone
runs by speedy quarter-
back Randy Anderson.
West Point knew what
was coming, so the only
adjustment it made was
“coming off the ball and

stacking it up,” Thomas
said.
Anderson threw for
161 yards, mostly on max
protections and rollouts.
Chambless said recogniz-
ing formations to move
quicker after the snap was
key in holding Anderson
in the running and pass-
ing games.
“It’s tough because
they protect well,” Cham-
bless said. “That’s the
best offensive line we’ve
faced. Their line rolls you
off the ball, and they can
protect. And they do max
protection, so it’s hard
to get through no matter
what you do. We just had
to string it out, string it
out,and make good pre-
snap reads to know when
it’s coming.”
“The dog” took over
from there.
“We were playing hard
with good effort in the
first half,” Chambless
said. “We just needed that
little extra, that ‘umph’ to
put in it and make a play.”

Being thankful

Chris McDill/Special to The Dispatch

From left, Kieran Wright, Christian Cunningham, Lizzie Galloway and Hazel Mills sing about the joys of Thanksgiving Thursday during rehearsal for a
program they would present for their parents the following day at First United Methodist Church Early Learning Center in Columbus. Kieran, 4, is the son
of Keegan Wright and Aislin Noltie. Christian’s parents are Tyson and Crystal Cunningham. Lizzie is the daughter of Brandt and Martha Galloway. Hazel’s
parents are Justin Wagner and Keri Mills.

A
s the end of 2018 hurtles toward us, we pause to be thankful. Whatever our circumstanc-
es, something in every life warrants gratitude. We asked some of our neighbors around
the Golden Triangle to share a Thanksgiving memory that stands out to them, a memory
they are grateful for. Hopefully all of us take time to remember more than a few, not just during

n 1963, when I was eight, my dad carted us off to Geneva, Swit-
zerland, on behalf of the DuPont company. My parents enrolled
us at the International School, where the English
side was run by the British, who clearly regarded the
lot of us as upstart colonials. Well, not only did the
Swiss apparently not do Hallowe’en, the British most
definitely did not do Thanksgiving. American students
were expected to go to school unless we had a note
from church. This new form of British oppression
stirred my Spirit of ’76.

Tennessee. A change in environment for that first year was needed.
We found unexpectant joy that year! We are stronger and appre-
ciative because of letting go. Change can be good. Happy Thanks-
giving to those who think they will not have one. You might be
surprised!

had Thanksgiving services, and my mother’s family
had been Anglican from the time of Bede. But she could only get my
once-Southern-Baptist dad as ‘high church’ as the Presbyterians, so
we went to the Auditoire Calvin, which was Church of Scotland — no
help there! Of course, God’s punchline is I ended up an Episcopal
priest who has loved visiting Emmanuel, Geneva.
I wish I remembered better my mother’s adventures in producing
Swiss Thanksgiving, but I’m sure they involved cornbread.

t’s difficult to narrow down just one special Thanksgiving mem-
ory. There are so many! The special times spent at my grand-
parents’ homes with my brothers and cousins
are memories I will always cherish. It was always a
tradition for us to take turns with the “Wish Book”
and make our Christmas lists for our grandparents,
parents and Santa after Thanksgiving dinner. Those
times I’ll never forget.
To focus on one special memory, however, I
direct my attention more toward present-day. I had
often heard my mother say that one of the things on Reed
her “bucket list” was to see the Macy’s Thanksgiv-
ing Day Parade. In 2016, I found it the rare case that Mom and I

W
e enjoy the tradition of being with family and friends in
our hometown of Columbus for holidays. Our travel and
vacations were always planned after or
before holidays.
Our first Thanksgiving away from Columbus in
our entire life was after my mother-in law in January,
father-in-law in April and mother in May of 2004,
due to long or unexpected illnesses, died. To have no
parents in less than four months was, to say the least,
an unknown factor.
Leading up to Thanksgiving, we were all wonder- Hughes
ing how the holidays were going to be. My daughter
suggested we have Thanksgiving at her house in Chattanooga,
would be the only ones at her home for Thanksgiving dinner. So I
seized the opportunity. I made some connections and made reser-
vations, and I took Mom to NYC for Thanksgiving. It was her first
time in the City, so I was able to pull out all the stops and share
with her as she saw in real life so many landmarks and things
she’d seen only in movies. It was magical. And on Thanksgiving
Day, we left our hotel early, braved both the cold and the crowds,
and enjoyed the 90th Anniversary Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Pa-
rade together — an item we can both check off our “bucket lists.”

foundation.
I’m the type of doofus gardener who
rushes out during hard rains to watch
where it all flows. Over the years I’ve
managed to channel it away from my
cabin without French drains by com-
bining low raised berms, gentle swales
and narrow ditches, one of which is
curved and lined with smooth stones to
resemble a natural riverbed even in dry
weather.
And I put it to use. Just like how
watering potted plants twice, a few min-
utes apart, soaks soil better, sometimes
I go out before or after a light rain and
throw extra water on my yard plants to
moisten soil more deeply.
But I also fancy storing some of the
extra rain. I don’t use an ordinary rain
barrel, which stores less water than I
use to wash my old gray hair; I have a
large agricultural-grade poly cistern
right under the main downspout off my
roof that holds 300 gallons and which
fills up completely every time we get as
little as an inch of rain. It’s teal colored,
which makes it fit better into the land-
scape and looks nice in case Martha
ever drops by.
It’s raised a bit on stilts so I can use
gravity to let it flow through a hose onto
nearby plants or to fill buckets to haul
to my pepper patch or newly planted
shrubs.
But I’ve got a more immediate
problem. Like many regular houses,
my little cabin’s roof is aligned so that
water runs off right above my porch.
And every time it rains, as I come and
go, I get wet.
I could put a gutter there, but I’m
lazy and unlikely to clean it regularly.
Or I could design a little arbor porch

Use Cool Wave pansies for lasting winter color

T
his past
weekend, I
started plant-
ing cool-season col-

citrus containers.
I like underplant-
ing in these contain-
ers for a couple of
reasons. First, I can
maintain a color pop
through the year.

And second, these
annuals act as a col-
orful ground cover carpet that
helps keep weeds at bay. I re-
ally do hate weeding, and even
plants grown in containers
need help with weed control.
I really like using Cool Wave the delicate strokes of an art-

that is perfect for the ground

tainers. They will make great
spiller plants a little later in the
season.
These plants are well
branched and really fill in
under my citrus trees. Cool
Waves are also a great choice
for hanging baskets
and landscape beds.
Whichever way
the home gardener
uses these plants,
Cool Waves provide
great color all the
way to the spring.
Cool Wave
pansies are avail-

colors, but this year,
I decided to go with
Lemon Surprise

combination of bright yellow
and subtle blues. As always, I
love the whisker lines radiating
from the center that resemble

had been open. Miraculously,
it seems, the plants quickly
resume flowering with higher
temperatures.
It is important to maintain
consistent moisture for your
plants, as the fall and winter
months can be dry.
Gary Bachman/MSU Extension Service
Keeping landscape beds and
containers consistently moist
is one of the best practices you
can follow for helping plants tol-
erate cold weather. A well-wa-
tered planting soil or mix acts
as a buffer to the cold. As the
water cools, it releases heat
that helps keep the root system
above freezing.
Many gardeners don’t real-
ize that all pansies are heavy
feeders and will stop flowering
when the nutrition gets too
low. I always add slow-release
fertilizer at planting and apply
a water-soluble fertilizer every
couple of weeks to maintain
good plant growth.
Cool Wave trailing pansies,
like their traditional upright
cousins, need to be grown in
the full sun — at least six hours
each day — for the best flower-
ing and growth.
And if “Wave” in the name
sounds a little familiar, Cool
Wave pansies were developed
by the same folks that have
brought the popular Wave petu-
nias to many of our gardens.

is a good time to
transform the backyard
into a safe refuge for
birds before unpredict-
able, harsh weather
begins. Experts at Cole’s
Wild Bird Products
suggest timely tips for en-
couraging birds to seek
sustenance and shelter in
your backyard.
Start by taking an
inventory of your existing
feeders. Inspect each
for damage and replace
if necessary. Consider
adding new feeders to
attract even more birds
and allow for fewer trips
to refill them during es-
pecially cold and stormy
days. Now is also a good
time to stock up on
Different species of
birds not only prefer
different types of feed,
they prefer different
types of feeders. Consid-
er providing a variety of
feeder types to increase
the diversity of your avian
visitors.
A tube feeder is a
“must-have,” since these
all-purpose feeders keep
seed dry while allowing
a wide variety of birds to
feed from multiple ports.
Specialty wire-mesh tube
feeders, designed for
birds that cling, can easily
dispense tiny, oil-rich ni-
ger seeds, protein-packed
dried mealworms and oth-
er specialty feed. Mesh
feeders allow clinging
birds like woodpeckers to
grasp the side of the feed-
hogging the feed.
For an easy-to-use,
one-size-fits-most feeder,
select a bowl style with a
protective dome that can
be raised and lowered to
thwart large birds and
squirrels from getting to
the feed while helping
protect seed from rain
and snow. Easy to hang
and fill, bowl feeders
accommodate any seed,
suet or even chopped
fruit. Also, be sure to
include at least one suet
cage in your feeder array
since suet provides a crit-
ical source of energy for
birds in cold weather.
Clean to prevent disease
A necessary chore is
to clean out any residue
in feeders before filling
Use soapy water and a
bottlebrush to scrub, then
rinse with cool water.
This ensures that mold or
mildew aren’t present and
helps prevent disease.
Quality feed
Some bird enthusi-
asts may not realize that
some commercial bird-
feed is treated to pre-
vent spoilage or packed
with cheap “filler” seeds
like milo, wheat or red
millet, that birds seldom
eat. Offering top-quality
feed means less waste
and ensures an increase
in birds at the feeders.
Seed choices should
provide birds with the
biggest energy boost
possible. Sunflower is
a great seed option for
ty of energy. Peanuts
are another high-energy
option. Choose hulled
varieties that are whole
and more nutritious
than peanut pieces.
And don’t forget
high-fat foods, like suet,
the solid fat rendered
from beef, or vegetables
that provide concen-
trated energy to help
birds maintain their
increased metabolic
rate during winter
when their normal food
sources are scarce. Or,
try a suet-seed mix like
Nutberry Suet Blend, an
energy-packed, power-
house feed mix of pre-
mium fruits, preferred
nuts, suet kibbles and
whole kernel sunflower
meats.
Birds need fresh water,
especially in cold weather.
Choose a heated birdbath
and place it in a sheltered
spot for safe access. And
since birds may unwisely
choose the coldest days
to take a bath, consider
placing a few rocks inside
to discourage bathing,
while still allowing birds
room to drink.
Birds also appreciate
warm, dry shelter from
wet, cold conditions.
Offering well-insulated
nest boxes will provide
them with a cozy place to
harbor.
Preparing for birds
now will enable you to
continue to enjoy them
throughout the winter,
and birds will benefit
from the extra care.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov.
18). You’re not afraid of com-
petition, and you see obsta-
cles as a gift. Because of this
attitude, you’ll wind up training
by putting yourself up against
formidable opponents. And
yes, you will become mighty.
Your position of strength will
help you in all areas of life,
even love. Relationships will
bond through travel. Libra and
Sagittarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 14, 33,
25, 7 and 49.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Choosing to be close to
people who honor and trea-
sure your best qualities is as
much a form of self-protection
as choosing not to be with
people who don’t. Work both
sides of it today.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Take out your stamp
of approval, and press it,
kiss-like, onto your own work.
Then ink it up really good and
tag a few more things in your
life. For instance, anoint your
own shoulder with it, because
you’re doing mighty fine.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
The quality of your relation-
ships affects your happiness
more than any other single fac-
tor. Money and status bumps
are nice, but feeling good
about what’s between you and
those close to you is nicer.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You’ll give your knowledge
to others today. Everything
counts. Tidbits, thoughts,
wisdom nuggets — you give it,
and it matters. That part will
feel good, seeing that you’ve
made a difference.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It
takes some trick to turn the
conversation the way you want
it to go, but you’ve got a few
up your sleeve. Besides, you
have something to get settled,
and a face-to-face exchange is
the best way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Who is taking care of you?
This is what you wonder as
you spread your care here and
there. Don’t worry. Someday
when you need a hand, it will
be there for you. Anyway, it’s
good to be strong and able.
Enjoy that.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
The sound of aligned interests
is often “ha-ha-ha.” Solidarity
will be shown through humor,
and laughter will be not only
a sweet sound but a sign of
successful group endeavors
to come.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The relationship used to
be different. The way it used to
be is still inside there, waiting
like the surprise center, the
smallest Russian nesting doll
in the set, the only really solid
version of the whole bunch.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). You’ll never be sorry
for employing civility. There are
many other ways you could go
that would be effective, maybe
even more so, but they are a
risk to be measured.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). As far as the “haves”
and “have-nots” go, it’s a
tricky matter. The “haves” will
appear to be rich in certain
things that most people want.
Yet the “have-nots” may be
wealthier in the things that
matter.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Who are your friends?
This is the question of the
day, not because you question
the ties you know well but be-
cause you’re moving into new
realms with new people and
you need to find out where you
can safely put your trust.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). What charms one person
will most likely charm 100
or more. Consider taking it
public. The more people you
add to your network today
the more money you’ll make
tomorrow.
