Lawsuit: Mississippi man beaten by jail guards before death

36-year-old died in the Madison Co. jail on
May 6 after he was arrested for trespassing
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
RIDGELAND — Relatives of
a man who died in a Mississippi
jail last May filed a civil lawsuit
Tuesday, saying witnesses saw
jail guards beat the man before
his death.
The suit was filed in federal
court in Jackson by Betty Hill,
the mother of the late Harvey
Hill. The 36-year-old died in the
Madison County jail on May 6
after he was arrested for tres-
passing.
No cause of death has ever
been confirmed for Hill. Madi-
son County Coroner Alex Bree-
land said the state medical ex-
aminer has yet to return a final
autopsy report. Mississippi’s
crime lab has a monthslong
backlog because of a shortage
of pathologists to complete au-
topsies.
“I’ve made no comment on
his cause of death,” Breeland
said. “I’ve been very careful not
to, because I don’t know.”
Lawyers alleged Tuesday that
inmates got into a fight during a
meal and that a guard, in trying
to stop the fight, assaulted Hill.
The lawsuit alleges that a guard
felt Hill didn’t show proper re-
spect and so a group of guards
“resolved to teach him and other
inmates at the detention center
that the jailers were in charge.”
Lawyer Derek Sells said a
group of guards later removed
Hill from his cell, put him in
handcuffs, beat him and pep-
per-sprayed him.
“And then he was put back in
his cell, in obvious need of med-
ical care, and left to die,” Sells
said.
Sells said lawyers had multi-
ple witnesses who had provided
information about Hill.
Madison County sheriff’s
spokesman Heath Hall declined
comment when asked what hap-
pened, saying county lawyers
haven’t seen the lawsuit. Sells
and lawyer Carlos Moore said
the county was earlier present-
ed with a claim notice warning
of the lawsuit.
Hill’s relatives said they felt
he had been murdered and they
wanted justice.
“He was a good person and
he didn’t deserve any of what
happened to him on that day,”
sister Cassandra Hill said.
Assistant District Attorney
Greg Miles said the Mississippi
Bureau of Investigation hasn’t
yet finished a probe of Harvey
Hill’s death. Miles said that the
when the probe is finished, find-
ings will be presented to a grand
jury.
Moore said an assistant U.S.
attorney had told him the FBI
was investigating. U.S. Attor-
ney Mike Hurst said a prosecu-
tor and investigator met with
Moore, but “at no time” did
anyone from the U.S. attorney’s
office tell Moore that federal of-
ficials were investigating.
“We will neither confirm nor
deny any open investigations,”
Hurst said in a statement.
The lawyers declined to say
how much in damages they felt
would be appropriate for Hill’s
death.
Moore said his law firm is
also representing family mem-
bers of two other people who
died in the Madison County jail
in recent months.

Mississippi men
sentenced to prison in
odometer fraud case
JACKSON — A Missis-
sippi father and son are
going to federal prison
and must pay $1.5 million
in restitution after plead-
ing guilty to odometer
fraud.
U.S. District Judge
Carlton Reeves on Tues-
day sentenced 54-year-old
Mark Longgrear of Jack-
son to nearly six years in
prison. His son, 29-year-
old Zachary Longgrear of
Madison, was sentenced
to more than two years.
Federal officials say
the men bought more
than 200 vehicles, alter-
ing odometers to show
lower mileage and then
reselling vehicles at high-
er prices.
The son pleaded guilty
to conspiracy to commit
odometer fraud in Sep-
tember, while the father
pleaded guilty to conspir-
acy and six counts of forg-
ery.
The men were ordered
to jointly pay $1.5 million
in restitution.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration estimates 450,000
vehicles are sold yearly
with false odometer read-
ings.
Oregon man with
medical marijuana gets
12 years in prison
CANTON — An Or-
egon man has been sen-
tenced to 12 years in
prison in Mississippi for
possessing medical mar-
ijuana.
The Clarion Ledger
reports 46-year-old Pat-
rick Beadle was origi-
nally convicted of drug
trafficking and sentenced
to eight years in prison
without parole. Beadle’s
attorney, Cynthia Stew-
art, said Tuesday that a
judge vacated the traf-
ficking conviction and
has let Beadle instead
plead guilty to drug pos-
session. The new 12-year
sentence comes with the
possibility of parole after
three years.
Beadle says the mari-
juana was for his chronic
knee pain. Prosecutors
have said the only evi-
dence that could point
to drug trafficking was
the amount of marijua-
na, which totaled nearly
three pounds.
The drugs were dis-
covered when a Mis-
sissippi deputy pulled
Beadle over in 2017 for
drifting over a highway
line, which Beadle dis-
putes.

last week against Cindy
Eggar Goode and Andre
Roberts. All are vying to
replace long-time chan-
cery clerk Lisa Younger
Neese, who will retire in
December.
Pierce worked under
Neese for eight years,
starting when she was
16 years old. During her
time as deputy chancery
clerk, she worked in all
three offices, something
she said will inform her
leadership should she be
elected.
“We were like a family
there,” said Pierce, speak-
ing to The Dispatch. “It
was such a small office
and we all loved working
with each other. I would
definitely keep that go-
ing.”
Pierce said she would
like to emphasize the
importance of communi-
ty service as a chancery
clerk.
“I would like to contin-
ue doing the community
service I’m already do-
ing,” she said. “I would
want to be able to promote
community involvement
with the staff.”
Pierce said she was ap-
proached by several coun-
ty residents who offered
financial and campaign
support if she chose to
run.
“At this point, I really
have nothing to lose,” she
said. “I love my job, so ei-
ther way, I’ll be OK.”
Goode, a current dep-
uty clerk who has been
endorsed by Neese, de-
clined to comment. Rob-
erts, a security officer at
Leigh Mall, could not be
reached for comment.
Qualifying for coun-
ty and state offices ends
March 1. Party primaries cdispatch.com
are set for August.

‘triggered’ abortion ban into law Funeral Home

The Associated Press
LIT TLE ROCK, Ark.
— Arkansas’ governor
has signed into law a mea-
sure that would ban abor-
tion in the state if the U.S.
Supreme Court overturns
its landmark 1973 ruling
legalizing the procedure
nationwide.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s
office says the Republican
on Tuesday signed the
legislation, making Ar-
kansas the fifth state with
2nd Ave. North Location
a “trigger” abortion ban
on the books. The majori-
ty-Republican Legislature
gave the bill final approval
last week. memorialgunterpeel.com
The proposal would
ban all abortions, except
for medical emergencies,
if the nation’s high court
overturns the Roe v. Wade
decision. After-school fun:
Louisiana, Mississippi, Boys and Girls Club
North Dakota and South 244-7090
Dakota have similar “trig-
ger” bans on the books.

debilitating deer disease
have been confirmed in
two more Mississippi
counties, making it pres-
ent in five counties.
The Mississippi De-
partment of Wildlife,
Fisheries and Parks said
Tuesday that tests con-
firm deer in Panola and
Tallahatchie counties had
chronic wasting disease.
A total of 15 cases have
been confirmed state-
wide, with others found
in Benton, Issaquena,
Marshall and Pontotoc
counties. Four more cas-
es await confirmation.
The contagious and
fatal neurological disease
causes deer to have trem-
ors and other movement
problems and lose weight.
Spokesman Warren
Strain says the depart-
ment is assessing restric-
tions on feeding wildlife
and hog trapping in Pano-
la, Tallahatchie and sur-
rounding counties as part
of its response program.
The disease is present
in 25 other states. Tennes-
see has confirmed dozens
of cases in counties bor-
dering Mississippi.

Slime: one gooey way to spark a child’s imagination
Unless the success of
future generations relies on
having dexterous thumbs, it is
probably more important than
ever that today’s connected
kids learn to make their own
fun.
Fifty years ago, if you gave
a couple of kids two empty
soup cans and some string,
you would be giving them an
hour’s amusement certain to
spark their imagination.
Whatever a child might
do with those objects today,
it’s almost a sure bet they
wouldn’t be transformed into
phones. There’s no screen, no
buttons and what would be the
point of that string, anyway?
For all the benefits of living
in a connected world, we won-
der if today’s children have
the opportunity or inclination
to make their own fun the
way previous generations did.
Today’s kids, more often than
not, play games. Previous
generations invented games.
There is, we believe, an im-
portant and valuable distinc-
tion to be drawn there.
That is why we were partic-
ularly pleased with Tuesday
evening’s program at the Em-
erson Family Resource Center
in Starkville. Each month, the
staff at Emerson puts together
programs designed to bring
families with young children
together.
Tuesday’s showed that
children can go off script a
bit and create an inner work
of imagination that can still
transform common objects
into adventures. Judging by
the enthusiasm on display,
it affirms that children are
every bit as creative and
imaginative as ever, given the
opportunity.
In this case, we are talking
slime, which has become
something of a phenomenon
recently.
For those without children,
slime is, a low-level chemistry
experiment created when
sodium borate is added to
water and glue. That’s all that
is required, although any
number of other ingredients
can be added to give the slime
different colors, textures and
properties.
It is not only an introduc-
tion into basic chemistry,
for some kids making and
playing with slime seems
almost therapeutic. There
is something calming about
stretching and kneading the
formless blob.
But let’s not put too fine a
point on the matter. Mostly,
it’s fun to play with. Once a
kid has made her slime, it’s
entirely up to her what to do
with it. There are no instruc-
tions, no rules. It’s only limits
are the child’s imagination.
We fear there may be too
little of that in today’s world.
When a child is encour-
aged to make his own fun,
when a little girl is encour-
aged to explore the boundar-
ies of her own imagination,
when a little boy is inspired
to create, they are learning
skills and disciplines that are
timeless and, we suspect,
essential no matter what the
future holds.

Letter to the editor Cartoonist view

Voice of the people
Tanning legislation deserves
consideration
This year, hundreds of Missis-
sippians will be diagnosed with
melanoma, the deadliest form of skin
cancer. For some of these patients
their cancer could likely have been
prevented by avoiding tanning
devices.
Tanning devices have been scien-
tifically proven to increase a person’s
risk for melanoma. In fact, those
who use the devices before age 35
are 59 percent more likely to get the
disease, and risks are even higher
for those who use tanning devices
before age 25.
The risk associated with UV
exposure is cumulative, which is why
legislation introduced in the Missis-
sippi Legislature prohibiting the use
of indoor tanning devices for those
under 18 is so important.
Most teens are considering peer
pressure and prom, not melanoma
and chemotherapy, when they decide
to enter a tanning device. They need
to know the long-term risks and need
to be adults before making such an
important decision.
We don’t let teens smoke ciga-
rettes, so why would we let them use
a tanning device?
We thank the Senate for passing
this legislation that now goes to the
House. I urge our Mississippi Repre-
sentatives to see the worth of a little NAMASTE
prevention now in saving numerous
lives later. Please pass the teen tan-
ning legislation.

First soldiers from Mississippi unit return from deployment

More than 4,000 Mississippi guard members deployed
to Kuwait as part of Operation Spartan Shield
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A Mis-
sissippi National Guard
unit is coming home from
a deployment to the Mid-
dle East, with the first
300 members of the 155th
Armored Brigade Combat
Team returning to Mis-
sissippi on Monday after
leaving last April.
More than 4,000 guard
members deployed to Ku-
wait to deter and react to
threats as part of Opera-
tion Spartan Shield, the
unit’s third deployment
to the Middle East since
2001.
Hundreds of family
members and friends
came out Monday night to
the guard’s air base at the
Jackson airport to meet
the first two flights home,
carrying gifts, balloons
and signs.
It takes about 14 days
for soldiers to go through
demobilization, and all
the unit’s soldiers are
expected to be home
by late March. The Tu-
pelo-based brigade has
units in McComb, Sena-
tobia, Starkville, Amory,
Monticello and Meridian,
as well as Kansas City,
Kansas.
One returning citizen
soldier, Sgt. Pamela Ste-
vens staged a surprise
reunion with her two sons
and other relatives Tues-
day at Booneville High
School.
The Northeast Missis-
sippi Daily Journal reports
her sons, 14-year-old Way-
lon Miller and 13-year-old
Mackenzie Stevens, were
called down to the bas-
ketball court during a pep
rally. Teacher Sherry Fer-
rell announced the names
of local students and staff
with family members in
service to honor them,
and Stevens’ two sons
were asked to walk down
to the court to watch a
video message from their
mother that said she
would be returning home
soon.
The boys were given
gifts donated by local
businesses to give to their
mother, who ordered
parts for military vehi-
cles as part of the mainte-
nance section.
“I thought we were go-
ing to give her the pres-
ents when she got home
and I thought she was get-
ting home in less than a
month, but then when Ms.
Ferrell gave us the gifts, I
didn’t think I was going
to be able to cope with it,”
Mackenzie Stevens said.
Then Pamela Stevens
walked in through a side
door with a sign and a
big smile on her face.
She hugged her sons and
the teens teared up while
classmates cheered from
the stands.
“I kind of thought it
was going to be her, but I
didn’t know,” Mackenzie
Stevens said. “It was sur-
prising and I was really
happy she was home.”
Pamela Stevens last
deployed to Iraq when her
sons were 4 and 5 years
old. She doesn’t expect to
deploy for at least another
few years.
“I don’t like being
gone, but no one does,”
she said.

Alabama woman who joined Islamic State seeks return to US

By JAY REEVES
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.
— An Alabama woman
who left home to join the
Islamic State group af-
ter becoming radicalized
online realized she was
wrong and now wants
to return to the United
States, a lawyer for her
family said Tuesday.
Hoda Muthana, 24, re-
grets ever aligning herself
with the terrorist organi-
zation and is putting her-
self at risk by speaking out
against it from a refugee
camp where she has lived
since fleeing the group a
few weeks ago, said attor-
ney Hassan Shibly.
Muthana, who dodged
sniper fire and roadside
bombs to escape, is ready
to pay the penalty for her
actions but wants free-
dom and safety for the
18-month-old son she had
with one of two IS fighters
she wed, he said. Both
men were killed in com-
bat.
In a handwritten letter
released by Shibly, Mutha-
na wrote that she made “a
big mistake” by rejecting
her family and friends in
the United States to join
the Islamic State.
“During my years in
Syria I would see and ex-
perience a way of life and
the terrible effects of war
which changed me,” she
wrote.
After fleeing her home
in suburban Birmingham
in late 2014 and resur-
facing in Syria, Muthana
used social media to ad-
vocate violence against
the United States. In the
letter, Muthana wrote that
she didn’t understand the
importance of freedoms
provided by the United
States at the time.
“To say that I regret my
past words, any pain that I
caused my family and any
concerns I would cause
my country would be hard
for me to really express
properly,” said the letter.
Shibly said Muthana
was brainwashed online
before she left Alabama
and now could have valu-
able intelligence for U.S.
forces, but he said the FBI
didn’t seem interested in
retrieving her from the
refugee camp where she
is living with her son.

Slime Night
Continued from Page 1A
“I don’t think they
were really worried
about me being here,”
McCowan said. “They
were just worried about
making slime, but I got
to help them. I am sure
they will share (what
they learned) with their
classmates or somebody
else they know.”
For McCowan, a
professional basketball
career is almost certainly
in her future. Women’s
National Basketball Asso-
ciation mock draft boards
consistently place her
among the top five picks
in April.
But long-term, Mc-
Cowan wants to end up
helping children and
families — whether as a
classroom teacher or in
some other capacity. She
developed that passion,
she said, talking after her
games to children who
had come to see her team
play.
“Freshman year, when
I was interacting with
families after the game,
it really made me feel
like that’s where I was
supposed to be,” McCow-
an said.
As an intern at Emer-
son, McCowan typically
works with designing bul-
letin boards and helping
in the adult learning cen-
ter. But a casual glance at
her social media one day
— specifically an instruc-
tional video on how to
make slime — gave her
the idea to host Slime
Night for children as one
of the center’s Emerson
Project Care events.
Emerson hosts at least
one Project Care event
per month, said pro-
gram manager Nakesha
Weaver.
“It’s pretty fun to just
get away from basketball
and work with all these
kids,” McCowan said.

“It was a very difficult

said Thomas left the
room, only to return a few
minutes later bleeding to
death. The individuals in
the room called 911 and
tried to perform CPR.
Clemons added Boozer

3, ran in line with her
mom, dad and 10-month-
old brother dragging
behind her.
“I’m excited to make
pink glitter slime,” Grace
said.
Grace’s parents, Zack
and Hunter, said they
saw an advertisement
outside Grace’s class-
room last week for Slime
Night. Tuesday night
was the first Emerson
Project Care event the
Harringtons had been to,
but they all confirmed it
would not be the last.
“With Grace, when
something is on her
mind, she’s going to talk
about it at the dinner ta-
ble,” Zack said. “She likes
to share her excitement
with us. She knows it’s
about getting us together
and having a good time.”
Cynthia Mobley said
she always tries to bring
her three sons out for
events at Emerson.
“We come out all the
time,” Mobley said. “It’s
self-defense argument,”
meaning Boozer may
have been in fear of his
life when he stabbed
Thomas, but had no real
reason to be given the cir-
cumstances. She added
that while there was sur-
veillance footage of the
hallway outside the Booz-
ers’ hotel room where the
stabbing took place, there
was only one witness who
could have testified in the
room, and he was in the
bathroom when the actual
altercation took place.
Clemons believes the
incident was drug-related.

Jaylon Mobley, 10, was
no stranger to slime. He
and his brother Joshua,

brother Jeremiah, 4,
make slime for the first
time.
“I’ve made slime
before at home,” Jaylon
said. “I like making slime
and making it make
bubbles.”
After mixing all the
ingredients, Jeremiah
picked up a piece of his
creation.
“It’s sticky!” Jeremiah
said. “It’s so sticky!”
Each family made one
batch, learning the craft
through trial-and-error
and teamwork.
Grace ended her night

she said. “And while I can
never promise them that
the defendant will tell
them exactly what hap-
pened, I hope they can find
peace with this resolution.
And I’m grateful that Mr.
Boozer took responsibility
for killing him.”
Starks said that though
Boozer had been told
not to have contact with
Thomas’ family, Boozer
wanted to pass his condo-
lences to them.
“I do want the family to
know that Mr. Boozer is
certainly remorseful,” he
said.
“We have a basketball
goal that she plays with.
We told her there was
going to be a basketball
player here that plays on
TV, but she’s just a little
bit in awe. Stuff like this
is cool. We’re just big

Earlier this month, Weav-
er hosted a Valentine’s

and donuts for dad.” She
said that sometimes even
the small things make
parents feel appreciated.
Each month, Weaver
said, the participation
rate continues to grow.
Tuesday night’s Slime
Night, Weaver said, did
just that. Only 13 families
registered online, but
more than 50 kids walked
into the cafeteria to work
together.
“I didn’t have the heart
to turn anyone away,”
Weaver said. “We were
prepared for this.”
Each family was
tasked to work together
to produce one prod-
uct. With McCowan as
the organizer, Weaver
said everything went as
smoothly as possible.
With tables coated in
slime and kids laugh-
ing in the background,
Weaver could tell that
this would not be the last
Slime Night Emerson
hosted.
“Each month we
grow,” Weaver said. “It
went well. It’s slime. I
figured it would be like

wouldn’t be slime. (Mc-

PREP BASKETBALL: Caledonia 48, Corinth 38
Caledonia High School’s Cooper McCleskey goes up for a shot in a group of Corinth defenders Tuesday in their
Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 4A North State tournament at Caledonia High.
CALEDONIA PUSHES INTO SECOND ROUND
By Don Rowe
Special to The Dispatch
CALEDONIA — The
term “run” in basketball
circles is when one team
scores any number of
points in rapid succes-
sion, while the opposing
team scores a few points
or none at all.
In the first round of
the Mississippi High
School Activities Associ-
ation (MHSAA) Class 4A
North State playoff game
between Caledonia and
Corinth, runs were the
order of the day — the
type of runs where one
team scored “none at all.”
Caledonia sandwiched
two such runs around
one by Corinth to grab a
nine-point halftime lead
en route to a 48-38 victory
on Tuesday night.
The Confederates
opened the game with a
7-0 run, one that forced
Corinth coach Keith
Greene to call a timeout.
Whatever Greene shared
with his players must
have made an impression
because the Warriors
scored 10 straight points
to take a 10-7 lead with

Gamecocks rally
past Rebels
By JEFFREY COLLINS
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina
men’s basketball team keeps digging a hole and
finding a way to pull itself out.
South Carolina won its fifth Southeastern
Conference game after trailing by double digits,
beating Ole Miss 79-64 on Tuesday night.
The Gamecocks seem like they have been in
a hole all year. South Carolina started the season
5-8 in non-conference, including losses to Stony
Brook and 6-19 Wyoming. They have been down
by at least 10 in nine of their 13 SEC games. And
now they are fourth in a league with three teams
in the top 13.
“They are taking me on an unbelievable ride,”
South Carolina coach Frank Martin said.
Tuesday’s ride for Martin started with the
Rebels (18-8, 8-5 SEC) hitting their first five
shots and taking a 13-2 lead less than four
minutes in. The Gamecocks answered with
16 straight points, took their own 11-point lead

MSU men go on road
to take on Georgia
From Special Reports
ATHENS, Ga. — The Mississippi State men’s
basketball team will look to continue its winning
ways on the road when it takes on Georgia at 5:30
p.m. Wednesday (SEC Network) at Stegeman
Coliseum.
MSU (18-7, 6-6 Southeastern Conference) is
in pursuit of the program’s first three-game SEC
road winning streak dating back to the 2003-04
season, when the Bulldogs won all eight of their
SEC road games.
Georgia (10-15, 1-11) has won eight of the last
10 games going back to the 2011-12 season. Last
season, MSU grabbed a 72-57 victory. Lamar Pe-
ters (game-high 20 points) led a balanced attack
that featured four players in double figures.
A victory would bolster MSU’s NCAA tourna-
ment hopes. MSU is one of two SEC teams and
one of 10 teams in the country to capture at least
12 combined Quad 1 and Quad 2 victories. Duke
(14), Houston (14), Kansas (14), Michigan (14),
LSU (13), Michigan State (13), Virginia (13),
Purdue (12), and Texas Tech (12) are the others.
MSU has done its damage with seven of the 12
wins coming versus Quad 1 opponents. The Bull-
dogs are one of eight teams to secure at least sev-
en Quad 1 victories. Michigan State (10), Kansas
(nine), Kentucky (eight), Virginia (eight), Duke
(seven), Marquette (seven), and Wisconsin (sev-
en) are the others.
Schaefer pushing
MSU to improve
By Adam Minichino
aminichino@cdispatch.com
Vic Schaefer loves numbers.
The Mississippi State women’s basketball
coach has developed a well-docu-
mented habit of circling and squar-
ing the key statistics on the box
score after every game. He also
routinely brings binders filled with
statistics and scouting reports that
chart just about every imaginable
number to ensure he and his play-
ers are prepared. Schaefer
By all of the numbers No. 6
MSU has put together this season, Schaefer
should be pretty pleased.
As Schaefer’s team enters the home stretch
of the regular season, MSU is first in 11 of the
21 statistical categories the Southeastern Con-
ference charts on its weekly notes package. The
Bulldogs are second in three other categories,
which shouldn’t be surprising since they are
23-2 (11-1 in the SEC) and tied with the South

Qiayon Bailey had 22 points Tues-

COLLEGE STATION,
Texas — When the Tex-

team fell behind by double
digits in the second half on
Tuesday night against Ala-

was certain his team could
get back in it if the Aggies
focused on defense.
They did, holding Ala-
bama scoreless for more
than five minutes to dig out
of the hole and go on to a
65-56 win.
Savion Flagg and
Wendell Mitchell scored
18 points each and Tex-
as A&M overcame the
12-point deficit in the vic-
tory.

In the men’s game, Tavonta Jones
scored 21 points and grabbed four
rebounds, but The W fell short.
Selma hit two free throws with
less than 14 seconds to take an 89-
87 lead. With five seconds left, The
W’s Keith Harris made 1 of 2 free
throws. Jones recovered the re-
bound, but a 3-pointer by Harris was
blocked out of bounds. A 3-pointer
by Tre Pinkston bounced off the rim
to end the game.
Coming off the bench, Shon

tively, for The W (7-18).
After falling behind 30-19, The

Mitchell added a basket

Donta Hall to get Alabama

remaining. He was fouled
on the shot but missed the
free throw. Mitchell made a

like that. Offensively for us, I think we
turned down some shots, and some
shots that normally fall didn’t fall to-
night. You have those nights.”
Tennessee (24-2, 12-1) bounced
back from its first loss since Thanks-
giving week, an 86-69 defeat at No.
4 Kentucky on Saturday to snap a
school-record 19-game winning
streak.
Vanderbilt (9-17, 0-13) dropped its
14th straight, matching the longest
skid in school history. Vanderbilt
had a 14-game losing streak that be-
gan in 1934-35 and carried over to
the next season.
Even as the losses pile up, Van-
derbilt coach Bryce Drew remains
upbeat.
“You saw the character of these
guys, saw how hard they fight,” Drew
said. “Losing’s not fun. It brings out
the worst. But we’re building some-
thing here.”
Vanderbilt shot just 32.1 percent
(18 of 56) overall and 23.5 percent (8
of 34) in the second half. Tennessee
won despite scoring just two points
during a stretch that lasted nearly
nine minutes.
Tennessee coach Rick Barnes
said he liked the way his team re-
sponded after the loss to Kentucky,
even if the score didn’t necessarily
reflect it.
... and things will work out
and they did,” he said.
Tevin Mack had 14
points for Alabama (15-
11, 6-7), whose losing skid
stretched to a season-long
three games.
It is Texas A&M’s sec-
ond victory against Ala-
bama this season. In the
first meeting in Tuscaloo-
sa, Alabama, TJ Starks hit
a 3-pointer at the buzzer
to give the Aggies an 81-80
win. The Aggies have won
three out of four after drop-
ping their previous three
games.
Josh Nebo gave A&M
its first points in almost
six minutes when he made
two free throws with about
12 minutes left. Those free
throws started a 16-1 spurt,
with nine points from Flagg
and capped by a 3-point-
er from Jay Jay Chandler,
that erased a big lead by
Alabama and made it 48-45
with six-and-a-half minutes
remaining.

Carolina Gamecocks for first
place.
But numbers tell only part of
the Bulldogs’ story.
While pleased with his team’s
success in multiple areas, Schae-
fer continues to encourage the
Bulldogs to give more as they
prepare for a trip to Oxford and a
game against Ole Miss at 7 p.m.
Thursday (SEC Network+) at
The Pavilion at Ole Miss.
“I think the big thing we’re go-
ing to have to do is practice bet-
ter,” Schaefer said Tuesday night
as he prepared to do a six-mile
session on an Elliptical machine.
“We’re going to get better every
day. That has been the thing
about teams in the past. Where
we were in February we were al-
ways better in March because we
kept working hard at it. You can’t
get better if you’re not practicing
well. I’d like us to see us practice
better and be more focused and
have more desire in practice be-
cause you can’t get better if you’re
not bringing it every day.”
MSU “brought it” for large
stretches of the game Sunday en
route to a 92-64 victory against
then-No. 22 Texas A&M in Col-
lege Station, Texas. MSU turned
21 offensive rebounds into a 31-5
edge in second-chance points.
The Bulldogs outrebounded the
Aggies 47-32.
Anriel Howard, who played
her first three seasons at Texas
A&M, and Andra Espinoza-Hunt-
er played key roles in the bounce-
back victory. Espinoza-Hunter
led MSU hit seven 3-pointers and
scored a team-high 24 points.
Howard added 19 points and
13 rebounds in her first game
against her former school.
After the game, Schaefer said
he was “extremely proud” of his
team, which was a marked con-
trast to the tone of his last open-
ing statement following a 75-67
loss to Missouri last Thursday
night in Starkville.
Schaefer said the Bulldogs “re-
sponded” after not playing well
against the Tigers. He said he
talked to his players about how he
wanted them to come out against
the Aggies, and that everyone
would be paying attention to see
if they could answer the call.
Trailing 24-20 after one quar-
ter, MSU used a 19-5 run to take
a 39-31 lead. After taking a 43-
36 halftime lead, MSU opened
the second half on a 20-8 run to
extend its margin to 66-48 with
2 minutes, 21 seconds left in the
third quarter. A 17-5 run in the
final period kicked the lead to 91-
58, the largest of the night.
As impressive as the Bulldogs
looked in stretches of the victory,
Schaefer feels his team still has a
lot of room for improvement. He
said the Bulldogs have a lot of
areas they need to address defen-
sively. He also said MSU is still
working to develop a chemistry
that is similar to the connection
the players on the 2017-18 team
had in a program-record 37-win
season.
“I would have to say defensive-
ly it’s we’re still creating new hab-
its, we’re still creating good hab-
its,” Schaefer said. “You’ve got
to keep working at it. That’s just
the bottom line. A lot of it is effort,
energy, and focus defensively. We
have so many areas to improve.
That’s how good we can be. Peo-
ple say, ‘Look at the stats. They’re
not bad. What is he complaining
about it?’
“Not bad gets you a couple of
rounds in the NCAA tournament.
It gets you in the top four in the
league. That’s not what we’re try-
ing to do that. That’s not what I
am in it for.”
Schaefer was referring to
his team’s push to the national
title game the last two seasons.
He said the days of MSU “set-
tling” for top-four finishes or
just securing a bid to the NCAA
tournament are “way in the rear
view mirror,” which is why he is
pushing his players to give more
every day so they can realize the
potential he and the members of
his coaching staff see in the 2018-
19 squad.
“I just think you keep talking
to them about it and harp-
ing about it and keep driving
that thing home. That is what
it takes,” Schaefer said. “You
don’t give up. You don’t give in
and you keep demanding it.”
Schaefer said he doesn’t think
pounding that message will mean
his players ultimately may tune
him out. Instead, he said taking
an approach like that is part of his
job to help MSU be the best it can
be and not “settle.”

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
I’m close
to 70 and
have three grown
children. I’ve been
a widow for 15
years. My oldest
son, age 45, has
pretty much cut
himself off from
our fairly close
family. His reason:
Two years ago,
ZITS after I had surgery
for lung cancer, he
claims I told him I
wished I had never
had children. This
couldn’t be further Dear Abby
from the truth.
All three of mine
were planned.
My other children decided
the hospital was overmedicat-
ing me and that most of what I
was babbling was nonsense. I
only remember bits and pieces
and have no idea whether my
recollections are accurate.
I have no problem dealing
GARFIELD with my son’s attitude; I’m a
realist. The problem is the way
it’s affecting my 90-year-old
mother, who lives with me. She
feels he has cut her out of his
life, too, because of me, and it
appears she’s right.
How can we convince him
he’s ripping his grandmother’s
heart out when he won’t talk
to either of us? She doesn’t
deserve such treatment, and
he has no right to hurt her
this way. —
BEWILDERED IN
FLORIDA
DEAR BEWIL-
DERED: If this is
the ONLY reason
for the estrange-
ment from your
son — which I
doubt — have
his siblings talk
to him and point
out that: (1) You
were so drugged
up after your
surgery you were
not in your right
mind, therefore
you shouldn’t be
punished or held
responsible for
any gibberish that came out of
your mouth during that period,
and (2) it is wrong to punish
Granny in such a heartless
fashion for something that has
nothing to do with her. Perhaps
they will be able to get through
to him where you cannot.
DEAR ABBY: My husband
is a successful man. He is
charming in public, but at heart
he’s a very private person. I
was successful in my field, and
I’m more outgoing.
He is proud to show me
off at parties because people
find me interesting and witty,
but without fail, at the end of
the night he will tell me that
somewhere during the evening
I “crossed the line.” Perhaps
I spent too much time talking
with another man, or said
something he found inappro-
priate. If I look the wrong way,
he accuses me of flirting with
someone. Invariably I get a
lecture on the way home or the
next morning.
I told him this morning that I
hate to go out with other people
now because of it. He took
great offense at that and said,
“You are not the VICTIM here.
You are the PERPETRATOR.”
Sometimes I do say things
that come out wrong, but I don’t
mean them. It would kill me to
know that I hurt someone with
my words. I am not interested
in any other man. I love my hus-
band. What can I do? — LIFE
OF THE PARTY IN VIRGINIA
DEAR LIFE: Not knowing ei-
ther of you, I cannot determine
if your husband is extremely
controlling, jealous and inse-
cure, or whether you are doing
something out of line. You and
your husband could benefit
from discussing this with a
licensed marriage and family
therapist. If he refuses to go —
and he may — you should go
without him.
If your behavior at these
gatherings was really unaccept-
able or an embarrassment, he
would not want to “show you off
at parties.” You shouldn’t have
to worry that you’ll be lectured
the next day for just being
yourself. Something is definitely
wrong here, and I don’t think
it’s with you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The importance of your
position makes you the object
of a sort of attention that you
shouldn’t take personally.
Recognize that it’s the nature of
the position and not your own
nature that engenders certain
scenarios.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There is no objective way
to prove the value of today’s
interaction. It’s all what you
make of it. Even if it doesn’t
lead to the outcome you were
going for, you could be better off
for the miss.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). People who are contribut-

either way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

to take part in such antics as
presenting a cheerful mood
for no reason and supporting
small achievements with high
enthusiasm. Today will be a

BY AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

T
here’s nothing like a bowl of
steaming chicken soup when
you’re feeling under the
weather, or even simply to warm a
winter. But we wanted to transform
this soup, often made with white
rice or pasta and lacking in veggies,
into a comforting, nutrient-dense
meal.
We started by infusing our
chicken broth with a megadose
of garlic, before adding tender
morsels of chicken. We tested our
way through increasing amounts
of garlic, starting with what we
thought was a hefty amount — 2
tablespoons.
Much to our surprise and sat-

ood “holidays” amaze me. It’s hard to
name a food that doesn’t have a day or
month devoted to its celebration. Febru-
ary is National Chocolate Lovers Month (of
course). And National Potato Lovers Month.
And National Cherry Month, Grapefruit

Month, to name a few. But it gets better.
This past weekend was National Margarita

Tater Tot Day. Feb. 5 was World Nutella Day.
Feb. 6 was National Chopsticks Day, for cryin’
out loud. Some of us probably needed Monday’s
National Drink Wine Day to get over the fact
that February is also Return Shopping Carts to
the Supermarket Month (foodimentary.com).
In the midst of it all falls Feb. 16, National

healthy fats, fiber, protein, magnesium and vi-
tamin E. They can help us work toward better
blood sugar levels, blood pressure and lower

But I digress.
Almonds are more than just a snack to keep
in the desk drawer at work, or a simple addition
to toss in a salad. They can be used in so many
other ways that make us feel a bit “gourmet.”

to roast it. To build flavor, we added
aromatic vegetables, thyme, bay
leaves, and tomato paste along with
our chicken broth. To incorporate
a whole grain, we opted for tooth-
some wild rice, cooking it directly
in the soup to infuse it with gar-
licky flavor.
To keep our chicken tender, we
simmered it during the last few
minutes of cooking. Baby spinach
and a generous amount of chopped
parsley gave the soup a vegetal
boost that complemented the deep
garlic notes.

enturies ago,
focaccia began as a
by-product: When
bakers needed to gauge
the heat of the wood-fired
oven — focaccia stems
from focolare and means
“fireplace” — they would
tear off a swatch of dough,
flatten it, drizzle it with
olive oil, and pop it into the
hearth to bake as an edible
oven thermometer.
From there evolved
countless variations on the
theme — the stuffed piz-
za-like focaccia in Puglia
and Calabria, the ring-
shaped focaccia in Naples,
focaccia made from rich
or lean doughs, and even
caccia alla genovese that’s
most fundamental.
As is traditional, our
recipe starts with a sponge
— a mixture of flour,
yeast, and water that fer-
ments for at least 6 hours
before it’s added to the
bulk dough. The sponge
helped develop gluten
(which gives breads struc-
ture and chew), depth of
flavor, and a hint of tang.
Rather than knead the
dough, we simply used
a series of gentle folds,
which developed the
gluten structure further
while also incorporating
air for a tender interior
crumb. (This method
knead; the more hydrat-
ed a bread dough, the
more open and bubbly its
crumb — a characteristic
we were looking for in
focaccia — because steam
bubbles form and expand
more readily.)
Fruity olive oil is a req-
uisite ingredient, but when
we added it straight to the
dough, it turned the bread
dense and cakelike. In-
stead, we baked the bread
