Few things
are so calming Shannon Bardwell
as sitting in a
sun lit room with two cats tightly curled
into a ball by your side. Outside the
window cedar trees are swaying madly
and dried oak leaves are swirling. Sam
says a northwest wind descended from
Canada bringing with it a cold front.
Only the day before temperatures
reached almost 70 degrees and there
was no need for a coat or even a jacket.
Not so on this particularly blustery day.
Though the sun is bright a chill is in
the air. How fortunate we are to live in
the South and to receive short reprieves
from long, cold winters. A little warmth
and sunshine go a long way to lift the
spirits.
There’s a young blogger living in
England who has recently moved to the
“countryside.” Jessica Rose Williams
seems wise beyond her years and I thor-
oughly enjoy her blog post. Recently
she shared her New Year’s resolution
by saying she didn’t commit to doing
something or not doing something
anymore but in the past few years had
chosen simply a word. Her word for
2019 is “acceptance.” Accepting of her-
self and accepting of others. Increasing
one’s acceptance is not as measurable
as say losing 10 pounds or building your
savings account but I think at year’s end
it may be measured by an increase in
well-being for both yourself and others.
Perhaps anything that increases one’s
well-being could be a wonderful New
Year’s resolution- it’s a win-win situa-
tion. I know my not buying anything
resolution one year did not increase
anyone’s well-being not even for five
minutes.
Before reading Jessica, I decided
there would be no New Year’s resolu-
tions this year as they never turn out
well. I don’t think I can narrow my goals
down to one word but a few words came
to mind. “Be creative with what you
have.” That phrase is so much more pal-
atable than “Don’t buy anything.” What
was I thinking? Being more creative
will be a whole lot more fun.
Somewhere in there will be the word
“calm.” Though I’m really pretty calm
on the outside sometimes I stress on
the inside about deadlines, to-do lists,
tight schedules, grocery shopping,
and so on. When you think about it, all
those things I stress about are things I
can ultimately control so I’m stressing
myself. Whether or not I pick up the
vitamins today or tomorrow is not going
to kill anybody. Hey, I’m liking this.
The back-cover blurb of Ruth Haley
Barton’s book “Invitation to Solitude
and Silence” grabbed my attention
“[such books are] often written by mys-
tics who occupy some rarified, ethereal
realm in which I don’t seem to live…”
So, I read the book and tried sitting
quietly with no agenda. I set my phone
alarm for 10 minutes so I wouldn’t
keep checking the time. For 10 whole
minutes I sat peacefully not planning
anything. It was wonderful. I think I
could be really good at this. This is my
plan for the new year.

Letter to the editor

LEDs lights in Columbus
Several years ago I was doing some personal re-
search in the Winston County Journal, and ran across
this item in the issue from Feb. 5, 1897. I thought this
might be interesting in light (pun intended) of the
upgrades planned in the street light in Columbus.
Feb 5, 1897 Winston County Journal: Columbus
lighted by electricity — For the first time in her histo-
ry Columbus was lighted by electricity last week, and
simultaneously there flashed from the forty lamps
which had been placed throughout the city light
which cannot be surpassed in brilliancy and quality
by any city in the South.
No mention was made of exactly where the lights
were placed in Columbus. An upgrade almost exactly
122 years after getting electric lights is a wonderful
improvement in quality and cost savings. Columbus is
doing something right.

Family: Wisconsin teen in ‘good spirits’ post-kidnap, escape

21-year-old suspect expected to be charged,
make his first appearance in court Monday
By JEFF BAENEN
The Associated Press
The grandfather of a
13-year-old northwestern Wis-
consin girl who authorities say
escaped a man who killed her
parents and held her captive for
three months said Sunday she’s
in “exceptionally good spirits.”
Jayme Closs on Thursday
fled the cabin near the small
town of Gordon where she said
she had been imprisoned. She
approached a woman walking a
dog and asked for her help.
Police officers arrested
21-year-old Jake Thomas Pat-
terson minutes later based on
Jayme’s description of his ve-
hicle. Authorities are holding
Patterson on suspicion of kid-
napping and homicide.
Little has been revealed
about Jayme’s ordeal since
her abduction in mid-October,
although more details could
come Monday when Patterson
is expected to be charged and
make his first appearance in
court.
Jayme’s grandfather, Robert
Naiberg, said Sunday that, con-
sidering the circumstances, the
teen is holding up .
“She’s doing exceptionally
well for what she went through,”
Naiberg told The Associated
Press by phone. “She’s in excep-
tionally good spirits.”
On Sunday, area churchgo-
ers said their prayers were an-
swered by Jayme’s safe return.
“We are overjoyed and we
couldn’t be happier. It’s a mir-
acle and it’s wonderful,” Mary
Haas told the Minneapolis Star
Tribune while taking down
Christmas decorations after
Mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic
Church in Barron. “We prayed
and prayed and prayed.”
Jayme has been staying with
an aunt in Barron since she es-
caped.
“It’s a great day up in our
area,” said Larry Leff at St. Pe-
ter’s Catholic Church in nearby
Cameron. “God answered all
our prayers.”
An intruder blasted open the
door of James and Denise Closs’
home near Barron with a shot-
gun Oct. 15, gunned the couple
down and made off with Jayme.
While investigators have
said Patterson’s goal was to kid-
nap Jayme, he has no apparent
prior connection to the family.
Naiberg told the AP on Satur-
day that Jayme told FBI agents
she did not know Patterson.

‘Miracle on the Hudson’ flight Pompeo: US wants accountability

survivors mark decade of thankfulness
All 155 people aboard survived after
plane collided with a flock of geese
and landed in the Hudson River
By DEEPTI HAJELA
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It’s
been 10 years, but there
isn’t anything Tripp Har-
ris doesn’t remember
about the cold January
day he cheated death on
US Airways flight 1549.
The jolt when the plane
collided with a flock of
geese and the engines
stopped moments after
takeoff from New York
City’s LaGuardia Airport.
The smoke filling the cab-
in. The electric, burning
smell. The panic from the
people around him. The
calm, steady tone of Capt.
Chesley “Sully” Sullen-
berger telling everyone
to brace for impact as he
steered the Airbus A320-
214 into the frigid waters
of the Hudson River on
Jan. 15, 2009.
And, of course, he
knows the happy ending
of the “Miracle on the
Hudson”: All 155 people
aboard survived.
Harris has also never
forgotten what that day
taught him about what re-
ally mattered: his wife and
then-2-year-old son.
“Everything that I
could think about was
the things I was going to
miss,” said Harris, 47, of
Charlotte, North Caroli-
na, where the flight was
headed. “That fundamen-
tally shifted my priori-
ties.”
It’s colored his life ever
since. He decided to spend
more time with his family
and have adventures and
experiences he might oth-
erwise have put off.
That day “made me a
better father, a better hus-
band,” Harris said.
Flight 1549 took off
from LaGuardia a decade
ago Tuesday, with Sullen-
berger’s co-pilot Jeffrey
Skiles at the controls,
three flight attendants and
150 passengers aboard. It
was cold, only about 20 de-
grees Fahrenheit, but the
skies were clear.
“What a view of the
Hudson today,” Sullen-
berger remarked
Skiles, according to Na-
to
tional Transportation
Safety Board’s report on
the crash.
Less than a minute
later, plane and birds col-
lided at 3,000 feet. Both
engines stopped. Sullen-
berger took the controls
and told air traffic con-
trollers he couldn’t make
it back to LaGuardia. His
choices were a small air-
port for private aircraft
in New Jersey — possi-
bly too far — or the river.
Sullenberger picked the
water.
At 3:31 p.m., the plane
splashed down, somehow
stayed in one piece, and
began floating fast toward
the harbor.
for Khashoggi’s murder
By MAT THEW LEE
AP Diplomatic Writer
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The Trump adminis-
tration expects Saudi Arabia to hold “every single
person” responsible for the murder of journalist
Jamal Khashoggi accountable, U.S. Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo said Monday after talks with
senior Saudi officials that also focused on Mideast
crises and countering threats from Iran.
Pompeo, speaking to reporters at the end of a
trip to Riyadh, said he had raised the Khashog-
gi case in his meetings with Saudi King Salman
and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as well
as other human rights concerns, and the fate of
women’s rights activists who have been detained
in the kingdom.
“We spoke about human rights issues here
in Saudi Arabia, women activists,” he said. “We
spoke about the accountability and the expecta-
tions that we have. The Saudis are friends and
when friends have conversations you tell them
what your expectations are.”
“Our expectations have been clear from early
on: every single person who has responsibility for
the murder of Jamal Khashoggi needs to held ac-
countable,” Pompeo said. He said the Saudis un-
derstood and had reiterated pledges to pursue the
case wherever it leads.

Haddix
Continued from Page 1A
on the struggles some
people can face, Haddix
said.
“Being raised in Mis-
sissippi and leaving here
and going to live in New
Jersey, and living a totally
different lifestyle, you can
see the disparity between
communities,” Haddix
said. “I’ve always worked
with disadvantaged peo-
ple. I see, as far as the job
market and academically,
people just don’t have the
tools to have a lifestyle to
sustain their families.
“When I got here,
I said, ‘Now how can I
make an impact?’” she
added. “We’re in a posi-
tion where we can make
some changes.”
Haddix, a longtime
member of the NA ACP,
said she knew the organi-
zation could be a powerful
change agent in the com-
munity and got involved
with the local chapter
after her return, and has
served as the chair of
education and workforce
development for the orga-
nization. Since returning,
she’s also been involved
with the Boys and Girls
Club, Golden Triangle In-
divisible and the Greater
Starkville Development
Partnership. She works
as a workforce trainer at
East Mississippi Commu-
nity College.
Haddix said she hopes
to continue seeing the
NA ACP take a leading
role in community affairs.
She said she’s particular-
ly concerned about a plan
to potentially relocate
Pecan Acres — a federal-
ly-subsidized low-income
housing development —
from its current location
on Highway 12 to High-
way 182. The swap is be-
ing considered to make
way for new commercial
developments.
“I’m concerned about
that,” she said. “I want
to make sure that when
we see there’s a situation
going on that really needs
to be addressed and peo-
ple don’t have a voice —
we want everyone to say
that’s a concern. It’s not
my community concern
— it’s our entire commu-
nity concern.”
She said she also hopes
to collaborate more with
neighboring chapters, es-
pecially those in Lowndes
and Noxubee counties
and the student chapter at
MSU — all of which have
female presidents.
“Our goal is to col-
laborate and really try
to make an impact,” she
said. “We’re making an
impact as far as our indi-
vidual communities, but
we want to make sure
we really get this Golden
Triangle thing together
and see our needs met.
We can tackle them as a
group.”
‘She’s going to be great’
Taylor, who spoke to
The Dispatch about his
decision to step down,
said he felt it was time
for a change after three
two-year terms. A 31-year
veteran of the U.S. Army,
Taylor said he models
his decisions on when to
move on from something
after the military.
“I said after six years,
you can feel like you’ve
made a great difference,”
Taylor said. “In the mil-
itary, every four or five
years, you’re moving. I
applied the same concept
to this.”
Taylor said he’s been
involved with the NA ACP
“forever” but got particu-
larly active after retiring
from the Army and re-
turning to Starkville in
2006.
Taylor said he’s proud
of the changes the Oktib-
beha County chapter has
seen during his terms,
including a steady growth
in membership and diver-
sity. He said he was like-
wise proud of the work
the chapter has done to
support inclusivity in
Starkville, such as sup-
porting Starkville Pride’s
pride parade last spring.
“Just continue to be
out front and let the local
politicians and elected of-
ficials know that they are
being watched, for mon-
ey and for personnel,”
he said. “It’s equal rights
and justice for all, not just
black — white, lesbians,
gay — for everyone.”
He added he thinks
Haddix’s experiences in
New Jersey will aid her in
her new position
“She and her husband
really want to give back,”
he said. “I think they’re
going to be a great team
because her husband is
really involved in some of
everything in the commu-
nity.
“With him and her, I
think they’ll go farther,”
Taylor added, “because
now you have a husband
and wife team. Before,
you just had a me team.”
Taylor will continue to
serve with the NA ACP,
as the chair for political
action and community in-
volvement.
Haddix said she plans
to lean on him for support
as she adjusts to her new
role.
“I told him that the
first year, he will be my
mentor,” Haddix said.
“Chris knows everybody.
He’s going to be really
vital for getting to know
people I don’t know and
getting into doors I can’t
get into.”

No. 7 MSU will try

to extend winning
streak in SEC play
By Adam Minichino
aminichino@cdispatch.com

STARKVILLE — Vic Schaefer and the

Mississippi State women’s basketball team don’t
want to become “spoiled.”
Sometimes it’s hard to avoid that pitfall when
you have won 19-straight regular-season games
in the Southeastern Conference. It also can be
a challenge to demand more from some of your
players, especially center Teaira McCowan, who
continues to be a double-double machine in her
senior season.
But that’s the situation Schaefer and the reign-
ing SEC regular-season champion Bulldogs find
themselves in following back-to-back appearanc-
es in the national title game. After fighting off
a pair of tests from then-No. 16 Kentucky and
Georgia, MSU will look to remain undefeated in
the SEC when it takes on Auburn at 6 p.m. Mon-
day (SEC Network) at Auburn Arena.
“It has just come to be expected, yet (McCow-
an) knows, I know, we can find areas that we
need to work on and improve on,” Schaefer said.
“We just need to come to appreciate the things
that are going on in women’s basketball. These
kids continue to carry it on.”
Schaefer said Friday he had a difficult time
sleeping after his team’s 80-71 victory against
Georgia on Thursday at Humphrey Coliseum.
He said he wasn’t happy with his team’s defense
on a night Georgia shot better than 60 percent
from the field for most of the game and led mid-
way through the fourth quarter. Schaefer said

NEW ORLEANS — When the
New Orleans Saints finally found
their rhythm, they marched one
step closer to the Super Bowl.
Using a dominant ball-control of-
fense and a few gambles that paid
off, the Saints got two touchdown
passes from Drew Brees and two
interceptions from Marcus Latti-
more in a 20-14 victory against the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Brees took the Saints on scor-
ing drives of 92, 79, and 67 yards
after falling behind 14-0. Lattimore
clinched it when Nick Foles’ pass
from the Saints 27 deflected off usu-
ally sure-handed receiver Alshon
Jeffery with about two minutes
Saints 20, Eagles 14
remaining. A couple dozen Saints
players surged off the sideline to-
ward the end zone in celebration,
while Jeffery fell face-first to the
turf in agony.
“We were real calm and poised
and we knew we were going to get
things done,” Brees said.
New Orleans (14-3) will play host
to the NFC title game next week
against the Rams (13-4). Los An-
geles, which fell 45-35 at the Super-
dome in November, will try again
next week, with the winner going
to the Super Bowl. The Saints’ win
finished off a sweep of the division-
al round by teams coming off byes.
Wil Lutz added two field goals
for the Saints, who last got this far Game 17

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
— Tom Brady recognizes
that there are some who
believe the Patriots are
nearing the end of their run
of unprecedented playoff
success.

New England (12-5) will
play at Kansas City in next
week’s AFC title game. The
Patriots beat the Chiefs 43-
40 in Foxborough in Week
6. The Patriots finished 9-0
at home this season.
It is the 13th conference

pearance by the Patriots
during the Tom Brady-Bill

“It’s going to be a good
game,” Brady said of the

“They’re a good team. We

The Chargers (13-5)

her 28 points in the second half Sunday to lead
the Ole Miss women’s basketball team to a 55-49
victory against No. 16 Kentucky in a Southeast-
ern Conference game at Memorial Gymnasium.
La’Karis Salter added 12 points and 10
rebounds for Ole Miss (7-11,
1-3 SEC), which gave coach SEC Women’s
Yolett McPhee-McCuin her Roundup
first career SEC win.
The win was Ole Miss’ first
at Kentucky since 2007 (Jan. 14, 2007; 67-65, OT)
and their first ranked win on the road since 2011 (at
No. 23 Arkansas, Jan. 23, 2011; 69-65).
Freshman Rhyne Howard led Kentucky (15-3,
2-2) with 20 points. The Wildcats played without
leading scorer and senior guard Maci Morris,
who was a last-minute scratch due to illness. Se-
nior point guard Taylor Murray played 35 min-
utes after suffering a bruised left knee on a hard
foul late in the second quarter Thursday at Ten-
nessee. She missed all eight of her shots and had
two points.
Ole Miss outscored the Wildcats 23-13 in the
fourth quarter, taking the lead for good with a
6-0 run, capped by Salter’s tip-in that made it 48-
44 with 2 minutes, 3 seconds to play. Kentucky
made two of its last 10 shots from the field and
went 5-for-17 with four turnovers in the fourth
quarter.
“I’m really happy for the team,” McPhee-Mc-
Cuin said. “My message to them after the LSU
game was: ladies, there will come a time, and I
don’t know if it will be Sunday, where we will beat
the team that nobody expects us to beat. In order
to do that, we will need everybody. And as the
game was going on, in the huddles I kept saying
there will come a time. And today was our time.”
Ole Miss forced 19 turnovers and held Ken-
tucky to 17-for-64 shooting (26.6 percent) from
the field.
“Kentucky is a great team,” McPhee-McCuin
said. “I don’t think one game in the SEC should

at the “chef’s ta-

and had amazing
food and service.
I paid the bill and left a 25
percent tip on a $400 bill (for
three people). The couple then
proceeded to hand cash to the
staff in spite of the fact that
I had told them I had already
tipped 25 percent, and they
acknowledged that they knew
it.
It was never my intention
that they pay anything, and I

DEAR ABBY: My sixth-grade

it — yet. I wonder when this
concern will be expressed by

DEAR TIME TO LEARN: Has
your daughter discussed this
with the parents of the other
students? If she hasn’t, she
should, because they may not
be aware of what the teacher

cerning as you and your daugh-
ter do, they should approach
the principal as a group.

rarely react in the moment.
You need time to process your
feelings and may, in the mean-
time, behave differently toward
the source of your discomfort,
which is only natural. Give
yourself space.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’ve been gentle with your-
self and let yourself ease into
the work, but now it’s time to
change tone, get serious, make
demands and push, perhaps
even force yourself to discover
your grit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
It’s not like you to pursue a
thing halfheartedly. When it
happens, you have to ask your-
self, “Why am I holding back?”
Do you sense something’s off
about the situation, or is this
about your confidence? You’ll
get honest and solve it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Finally, some progress in
affairs of the heart. And the
best part is that you didn’t have
to ask annoying questions such
as, “Can we talk?” Somehow,
you just naturally got onto the
same page.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Harmony isn’t always
reached through hard work
and finagling. Today will prove
the concept. Metaphorically,
you just open your mouth and
start singing. The tones match
up. It’s as natural as wolves
howling in a pack.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The critical find it easy
to criticize; the agreeable find
it easy to agree. Both have
advantages and follies. A
learning exercise: Wherever you
are on the spectrum, seek a
tone on the other side and give
it a whirl.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). For 90 percent of the day,
what you say will not be so im-
portant as how you say it. But
for the remaining 10 percent
(and you’ll sense it when you’re
there), do endeavor to get the
message exactly right. It will
save you from wasting time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Having someone to report
to will make the difference
when it comes to getting to the
goal. If this sort of relationship
doesn’t exist naturally in your
current life, set it up. It will
quickly become a fixture when
you see how well it works.
