In Mississippi, 3 funerals in 2 days for slain law officers

‘In every corner of this state, there are Mississippians praying for you’
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
and ROGELIO V. SOLIS
The Associated Press
BROOKHAVEN — Mourn-
ers gathered in two Mississippi
communities Thursday at fu-
nerals for two law enforcement
officers who were shot to death,
a day after services were held
for another slain officer.
In the southern Mississippi
city of Brookhaven, the police
chief said a mortally wounded
officer called out with his dying
breath: “Brookhaven, I’m going
down.”
Chief Kenneth Collins spoke
at the funeral of Cpl. Zach
Moak, 31, who was one of two
on-duty officers slain early
Saturday in the city of 12,000.
Moak and officer James White,
35, were gunned down while
responding to reports of shots
fired at a home in Brookhaven,
which is about 60 miles south of
the state capital of Jackson.
“Even when he was mortally
wounded, he did not think of
himself,” Collins said of Moak.
“He went toward officer James
White and he was pulling him
out of the line of fire to safety.
And with his final breath, he
called, ‘Brookhaven, I’m going
down.’ There is no love greater
than to give your life for anoth-
er.”
Hundreds of people, includ-
ing many law enforcement
officers in uniform, packed
Brookhaven’s Easthaven Bap-
tist Church for Moak’s funeral
Thursday and for White’s on
Wednesday.
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves
“In every corner of this
state, there are Mississippi-
ans praying for you,” Lt. Gov.
Tate Reeves told Moak’s family
during the service.
Outside the church, offi-
cers saluted as Moak’s casket,
draped in an American flag,
was put into a hearse.
The other funeral Thursday
was in the northern Mississippi
city of Corinth, for slain High-
way Patrol Cpl. Kenneth “Josh”
Smith, 32, of Walnut. He was
shot to death while off duty ear-
ly Sunday, dying in an isolated
area near the Hatchie River,
southeast of Walnut.
Highway Patrol Cpl. Gary
Stanton, who went through
trooper training with Smith
more than a decade ago, said
Smith was a brave man who
stood up for his beliefs.
“The uniform gave him au-
thority, but not courage,” Stan-
ton said, according to the North-
east Mississippi Daily Journal .
“He was always going to stand
up for what he believed.”
Republican Gov. Phil Bry-
ant, who started his own career
as a deputy sheriff, attended
Smith’s funeral in Corinth.
“Josh was your brother. Now
you have a sister to watch and
protect,” Bryant said. “We must
honor this loss by always being
there for her and the children.”
The deaths in Mississippi
happened within days of other
violence against law enforce-
ment officers. Seven officers in
South Carolina were shot, one
of them fatally, on Wednesday
in a confrontation with a man
who authorities said held chil-
dren hostage as he fired on of-
ficers.
In Mississippi, police say
Marquis Flowers, 25, shot the
two Brookhaven officers. Flow-
ers had a series of previous fel-
ony convictions and was free on
bail at the time of the shooting.
He has been hospitalized and
has not been charged, and it’s
not clear whether he is repre-
sented by an attorney. Police
have questioned others, but
it’s unclear if they will pursue
charges against anyone else.
In the trooper’s death, Troy
Anthony Eaton, 43, of Rienzi,
Mississippi, surrendered to
authorities Sunday. Eaton was
charged Monday with capital
murder in Smith’s death and ag-
gravated assault in the shooting
of Rickie Dale Vick, 38, of Mich-
igan City, Mississippi. Vick sur-
vived.
Eaton made an initial court
appearance Monday. Outside
a courthouse in Ashland, he
yelled to WTVA-TV that the
shooting was in “self-defense.”

GREENVILLE — A
Mississippi police depart-
ment says one of its offi-
cers has shot and killed a
man who was reported to
have stabbed a relative in
the neck.
The Delta Dem-
ocrat-Times reports
25-year-old Arthur Harbi-
son was shot Wednesday
night by a Greenville po-
lice officer, whose name
has not been released.
Assistant Police Chief
Michael Merchant says
the officer was responding
to a disturbance when Har-
bison ran into a field, then
turned around and moved
toward the officer while
holding a knife. That’s
when the officer shot him.
The officer was not in-
jured.
Merchant says the
stabbed person survived.
Harbison was white.
The race of the officer was
not immediately available.
The Mississippi Bureau
of Investigation is look-
ing into the case. That’s

shootings by police in the
state.
Food stamp fraud
investigator charged
with extorting stores
JACKSON — A for-
mer Mississippi food
stamp fraud investigator
is charged with extorting
money from convenience
store owners who violated
regulations.
The criminal charge
against 52-year-old Frank
Saddler of Ridgeland was
filed Thursday in federal
court in Jackson.
It’s unclear if Saddler
has a lawyer and no court
appearance is scheduled.
Defendants sometime
plead guilty without being
indicted under a plea bar-
gain.
Prosecutors say Sad-
dler was a Mississippi
Department of Human
Services branch director,
investigating criminal
violations of rules of the
Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program. The
state administers the fed-
eral program.
The charge says Sad-
dler extorted money in
2014 and 2015 from store
owners charged with
criminal violations.
He faces up to 20 years
in prison. Saddler would
be required to pay restitu-
tion, if convicted, and pros-
ecutors demand he forfeit
any gains.
Mississippi House
Speaker forms human
trafficking panel
JACKSON — A panel
created by Mississippi
House Speaker Philip
Gunn is looking for ways
to reduce human traffick-
ing in the state.
The Clarion Ledger re-
ported the Speaker’s Com-
mission on Public Policy
conducted a session enti-
tled “Mississippi: A Road
Block to Human Traffick-
ing” on Wednesday in
Jackson.
More than 100 nation-
al, state and local experts
and advocates including
law enforcement and law-
makers took part in the
session.
Gunn said he hopes
the panel can make rec-
ommendations for legal
improvements before law-
makers meet in January.
Gunn said the prob-
lem exists in Jackson and
elsewhere in the state and
he hopes to find way to
rescue people trapped in
those operations.
Mississippi’s Inter-
states 10 and 55 make it
easy for victims of human
trafficking to be moved

6 election; nor Tea Party Re-
publican Chris McDaniel, who campaign and twice since,
narrowly failed to
unseat Cochran in
a bitter campaign
in 2014; nor Demo-
crat Mike Espy, the
former Secretary of
Agriculture in the
Clinton Administra-
tion, were on any
poll questions.
Even so, there
were a couple of
poll questions that
might give a hint as
to what voters may do.
This is especially true
for Hyde-Smith, who has so
thoroughly hitched her star
to Donald Trump that she can
scarcely utter a sentence with-
out invoking the president’s
name.
In the 2016 Presidential
race, Trump captured 58
percent of the vote in Missis-
sippi. Perceived as a Trump
stronghold, the President
visited Mississippi during the
most recently last week when
he held a rally in Southhaven
to support Hyde-Smith, whom
he endorsed earlier this year.
But the results of the Mill-
saps poll suggest that Trump’s
support in Mississippi has
eroded, somewhat.
Trump’s approval rating
in Mississippi is 51%, with
43% disapproving of him. In
Mississippi, that number is
alarming and it calls into ques-
tion Hyde-Smith’s “all-in” iden-
tification with the President,
if not in the Nov. 6 election, in
what will almost certainly be
a run-off, most likely against
Espy.
McDaniel, whose desire
for the Trump endorsement
has been almost palpable, may
see a silver lining in the poll
results. With just half of the
voters support Trump, not hav-
ing that endorsement may not
be as damaging as previously
thought.
In another poll conducted
by NBC, Hyde-Smith and Espy
are tied with 25 percent, but
McDaniel is within striking
distance at 19 percent.
The message: Don’t count
McDaniel out just yet.
If the poll is potentially bad
news for Hyde-Smith, it also
has some potential bad news
for Espy as well.
According to the poll, only
50% of Mississippi voters are
enthusiastic about voting in
the upcoming November mid-
term elections while 43% are
either somewhat enthusiastic
or not enthusiastic at all. For
a Democrat to win state-wide,
high turn-out is essential,
especially among black voters,
who generally vote in smaller
numbers than whites.
The exception to that was
in 2008 and 2012 when black
voters turned out to vote for
Barack Obama. Will those vot-
ers turn out for another black
candidate in Espy? The poll
numbers don’t suggest that’s
going to happen.
As for next year, when state-
wide offices are elected, the
poll continues to show encour-
aging news for the only Dem-
ocrat to hold state-wide office.
As it has in all of its previous
polls, the Millsaps/Chism
poll shows strong approval of
Attorney General Jim Hood
while less than glowing sup-
port for Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves,
Hood’s presumed opponent in
the governor’s race.
Hood has an approval rate
of 50 percent, with just a 27
percent disapproval rate.
Meanwhile, Reeves approval
rate is just 37 percent with a
disapproval rate of 32 percent.
Whether the poll results
turn out to be accurate indica-
tors of what will happen this
November or next November,
they are worth noting.

GENDER IN AMERICA

If some skank
complains...
In light of recent
news of a national war
between the sexes,
I’m going to tell you
a little story I think
explains everything.
I tended bar for
a while. That’s no
surprise. Young
working-class men
who need money and
don’t want to join the
military often end up Marc Dion
behind the bar.
The place where
I worked was small, dark inside, and not very
clean. It was friendly though, and I didn’t make
any judgments about how much you drank or
how early in the day you started.
We served a lot of cheap draft beer. We
didn’t have a blender. We didn’t take credit
cards. We didn’t have a jukebox, because the
owner hated music. We didn’t serve food. In
the men’s room, we had a machine that dis-
pensed cheap cologne, and a condom machine.
In the ladies’ room, we had a machine that
dispensed cheap perfume, and a condom
machine.
I shoved glasses of beer across the bar, and
men drank the beer. When I looked down the
length of the bar, I didn’t see people. What I
saw was glasses and money. I filled the glasses,
and I picked up the money, and that was the
job.
About two weeks into working there, I was
standing behind the bar on a dark winter after-
noon, lining up the two brands of vodka we sold
in alphabetical order, when the owner, who was
in the place to see if he could catch me steal-
ing, called me down to the end of the bar.
“I forgot tell you there’s no condoms in the
condom machine in the girl’s room,” he said.
“Did it run out?” I asked.
“Nah, I never put no condoms in the girl’s
room,” the owner said.
“Guys, they go in, they put a half-a-buck in
the machine, they don’t get no condom, they
come out and ask the bartender for their mon-
ey back,” he said.
“Women, they go in there, they put money in
the machine, they don’t get no condom, they’re
too embarrassed to complain. The condom
machine in the girl’s room’s been empty for 25
years. Pure profit.”
“They never complain?” I asked.
“Look, if some skank complains, give her
the half-a-buck,” he said. “Don’t worry, though.
It ain’t gonna happen.”
It didn’t, not during the year I worked in
that place. During that year, I broke up quite a
few fights, cut myself more than once slicing
limes, threw out several prostitutes, caught a
young guy snorting coke in the men’s room
and helped a few customers drink themselves
out of marriages and jobs. But no woman ever
asked me for the half-a-buck.
Almost everything you need to know about
men and women in America is in that story
somewhere, and so is a bunch of stuff you need
to know about capitalism.
If some woman had asked me for the half-a-
buck back, I would have given it to her.
“Don’t put the money in again,” I would have
told her. “It must be out. I’ll tell the owner.”
The perfume machine was never empty.
Because the perfume machine is never empty.

Kavanaugh
We are all deplorables now
Four days after he
described Christine Bla-
sey Ford, the accuser of
Judge Brett Kavanaugh,
as a “very credible wit-
ness,” President Donald
Trump could no longer
contain his feelings or
constrain his instincts.
With the fate of his
Supreme Court nominee
in the balance, Trump let
his “Make America Great Patrick Buchanan
Again” rally attendees in
Mississippi know what he
really thought of Ford’s testimony.
“’Thirty-six years ago this hap-
pened. I had one beer.’ ‘Right?’ ‘I had
one beer.’ ‘Well, you think it was (one show trial where the defendant was
beer)?’ ‘Nope, it was one beer.’ ‘Oh,
good. How did you get home?’”
‘I don’t remember.’ ‘How did you
get there?’ ‘I don’t remember.’ ‘Where
is the place?’ ‘I don’t remember.’ ‘How Trump a poltroon for daring to mock
many years ago was it?’ ‘I don’t know. Ford’s story of what happened 36
I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t
know.’”
By now the Mississippi MAGA
crowd was cheering and laughing.
Trump went on: “’What neigh-
borhood was it in?’ ‘I don’t know.’
‘Where’s the house?’ ‘I don’t know.’
‘Upstairs, downstairs, where was
it?’ ‘I don’t know. But I had one beer.
That’s the only thing I remember.’”
Since that day three years ago
when he came down the escalator
at Trump Tower to talk of “rapists”
crossing the U.S. border from Mexi-
co, few Trump remarks have ignited
greater outrage.
Commentators have declared
themselves horrified and sickened
that a president would so mock
the testimony of a victim of sexual
assault.
The Republican senators who will
likely cast the decisive votes on Ka-
vanaugh’s confirmation — Jeff Flake, is in mortal struggle, will be seen as
Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski —
they all decried Trump’s mimicry.
Yet, in tossing out the “Catechism
of Political Correctness” and treat-
ing the character assassination of
Kavanaugh as what it was, a rotten
conspiracy to destroy and defeat his
nominee, Trump’s instincts were
correct, even if they were
politically incorrect.
This was not a “job in-
terview” for Kavanaugh.
In a job interview,
half the members of the
hiring committee are not
so instantly hostile to an
applicant that they will
conspire to criminalize
and crush him to the
point of wounding his
family and ruining his
reputation.
When Sen. Lindsey
Graham charged the Democratic
minority with such collusion, he was
dead on. This was a neo-Bolshevik
presumed guilty and due process
meant digging up dirt from his school
days to smear and break him.
Our cultural elites have declared
years ago. Yet, these same elites
reacted with delight at Matt Damon’s
“SNL” depiction of Kavanaugh’s
angry and agonized appearance, just
48 hours before.
Is it not hypocritical to laugh
uproariously at a comedic depiction
of Kavanaugh’s anguish, while de-
manding quiet respect for the highly
suspect and uncorroborated story of
Ford?
Ford was handled by the judiciary
committee with the delicacy of a
Faberge egg, said Kellyanne Conway,
while Kavanaugh was subjected to
a hostile interrogation by Senate
Democrats.
In our widening and deepening
cultural-civil war, the Kavanaugh
nomination will be seen as a land-
mark battle. And Trump’s instincts,
to treat his Democratic assailants as
ideological enemies, with whom he
correct.
Consider. In the last half-century,
which Supreme Court nominees were
the most maligned and savaged?
Were they not Nixon nominee
Clement Haynsworth, chief judge
of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals,
Reagan nominee Robert Bork, Bush
1 nominee Clarence Thomas, and
Trump nominee Brett Kavanaugh,
the last three all judges on the
nation’s second-highest court, the
District of Columbia Circuit Court of
Appeals?
Is it a coincidence that all four
were Republican appointees, all four
were judicial conservatives, and all
four were gutted on the grounds of
philosophy or character?
Is it a coincidence that Nixon in
Watergate, Reagan in the Iran-Contra
affair, and now Trump in Russiagate,
were all targets of partisan cam-
paigns to impeach and remove them
from office?
Consider what happened to decent
Gerald Ford who came into the oval
office in 1974, preaching “the politics
of compromise and consensus.”
To bring the country together
after Watergate, Ford pardoned
President Nixon. For that act of mag-
nanimity, he was torn to pieces by a
Beltway elite that had been denied its
anticipated pleasure of seeing Nixon
prosecuted, convicted and sentenced
to prison.
Trump is president because he
gets it. He understands what this
Beltway elite are all about — the
discrediting of his victory as a prod-
uct of criminal collusion with Russia
and his resignation or removal in
disgrace. And the “base” that comes
to these rallies to cheer him on, they
get it, too.
Since Reagan’s time, there are
few conservatives who have not been
called one or more of the names in
Hillary Clinton’s litany of devils, her
“basket of deplorables” — racist,
sexist, homophobic, xenophobic,
Islamophobic, bigoted, irredeemable.
The battle over Kavanaugh’s
nomination, and the disparagement
of the Republicans who have stood
strongest by the judge, seems to have
awakened even the most congenial to
the new political reality.
We are all deplorables now.

Make-A-Wish
Continued from Page 1A
nesses. With chapters in every
state and 50 counties, the
organization grants 300,000
“wishes” each year.
In Mississippi, Ethan will
be one of about 100 kids whose
wishes are granted each year,
thanks to the 28 Heritage
seniors who chose it as their
senior class community ser-
vice project when the school
year began in August.
“We had several options to
chose from for our project,”
Student Government President
Gigi Fields said. “We felt that
Make-A-Wish was the best
wish for our class because we
wanted a project that had a per-
sonal connection to our school
and our community.”
After choosing Make a
Wish, the seniors turned to
Stacy Craig, the state’s Make-
A-Wish coordinator, to find a
candidate.
Craig said there are cur-
rently 185 Mississippi children
on the state’s Make-A-Wish
waiting list.
An obvious choice
Ethan, whose family lives
in New Hope, was an obvious
choice since the Heritage stu-
dents wanted to help someone
locally.
Born with a congenital
heart defect, Ethan has had
two open-heart surgeries in his
short life and will likely need
more, his father said. He was
also born with a hypo-plastic
kidney, which means he is
essentially living with one
kidney. He is also autistic and
does not speak.
Despite those health issues,
Ethan seems determined to be
a “regular kid,” his father said.
“He goes to school and can
do most of the things other
kids do, only he needs constant
adult supervision,” he said.
Craig said that because of
their medical conditions, the
children Make-A-Wish work
with are accustomed to being
told, “No, you can’t.”
If you were to crystallize
what Make-A-Wish does for
the kids, she said, it is through
providing a different answer.
“We at Make-A-Wish like to
say yes,” Craig said. “Yes, you
can go and meet Julio Jones of
the Atlanta Falcons. Yes, you
can go to Hawaii and swim
with the dolphins. Yes, you can
have a swimming pool in your
back yard, Yes, you can meet
an actor in Hollywood.
“That’s what we do,” she
added. “We give them hope,
strength and joy. Not just
the wish kid, but their entire
family.”
‘A marvelous charity’
One of those families also
participated in Thursday’s pep
rally at Heritage.

will have breast cancer.’
I remember sitting there
thinking ‘I wonder which
one of them it will be.’ It
was just so not something
I was going to have. It
wasn’t going to be me, and
it turned out to be me.”
Havard was diagnosed
in August 2007, shortly
before turning 44 years
old, with stage three
breast cancer. By that
time, the cancer — which
she said was an aggres-
sive form of breast cancer
— had already spread to
her lymph nodes.
Eddie Havard, Robyn’s
husband, said there was
“a lot of crying” when
Robyn was diagnosed.
But, he said, they worked
together to stay positive
as she fought the disease.
“She’s a pretty strong-
willed person,” Eddie
said. “We kept a positive
attitude and were deter-
mined to beat it. Basically,
all I was there for was
positive support. I did ev-
erything I could to keep it
positive and give her that
support because she was
going through a pretty
rough time.”
Eleven years later,
Robyn is a survivor. The
diagnosis, she learned,
was a lesson that some-
times things aren’t always
as bad as you think.
“I found out that I had
breast cancer at about 2
o’ clock in the afternoon
on the day for orientation
for my oldest son’s high
school senior year,” she
said. “So I had to go into
that room and sit there
and smile and act like all
was good in the world so
his world would not be
rocked that particular
day.”
Robyn takes preventa-
tive care much more seri-
ously now. Since her diag-
nosis, she said, research
has pointed to a possible
link between aunts and
nieces for developing
breast cancer. Robyn said
she’s had aunts and cous-
ins diagnosed with breast
cancer since she learned
she had it.
She’s also encouraged
her nieces to be more
proactive in taking DNA
testing to see if they’re
genetically predisposed
toward getting breast
cancer.
“I don’t have any
daughters, but it’s given
my nieces the ability to go
and get that testing done,”
she said. “That way they
can be more proactive,
instead of reactive like
their aunt was. ... If the
knowledge of what I went
through helps my nieces,
then I’m grateful for the
ability to, in some way,
help them.”
‘You’re not promised
tomorrow’
Robyn’s journey wasn’t
easy, but it’s shaped the
way she views the world
now.
She said she’s much
more willing to do the
things she wants to do
now, where before she
was more meticulous
about planning things out.
“If I want to go to the
beach, I go to the beach,”
she said. “If I want to visit
the mountains, I visit the
mountains. If I want to
visit an aunt, I go visit her.
… Now it’s not uncom-
mon for me to wake up on
Monday morning, and my
husband and I decide we
want to go to a concert on
Friday night in Colorado.
We get in the car and go.”
Eddie said that’s been
a good lesson for both of
them.
“You’re not promised
tomorrow,” Eddie said.
“We realize that now. So
if we decide we want to do
something, we do our best
to go ahead and do it.”
Robyn has now become
a strong advocate for
preventative care.
“A lot of cancers now
are not death sentences,
unless you let them get to
that point,” Robyn said. “I
felt really foolish. I think
back now and I laugh, but
really, truly, it would have
made such a difference
in my battle if I had found
out early.
“To those women
sitting out there thinking
they don’t have time — I
was busy,” she added.
“That was one of the
reasons I didn’t go. I made
the comment that I didn’t
have time to have breast
cancer or to do anything
about it if I do. That was
dumb. Because let me tell
you, time will stop and
you will time to take care
of what you need to.”

Caledonia Days
Continued from Page 1A
ing the get that money
and had made our plans
around that. So that’s
something we’ve had to
work around.”
Boltwood said her com-
mittee added sponsors
and picked up a $1,500
grant from the Mississip-
pi Development Authority
to offset some of that lost
revenue.
Caledonia Mayor Mitch
Wiggins said the town
contributes $15,000 annu-
ally to the event.
“To be honest, the mon-
ey we have been receiving
from the CVB has been
in sort of a step-down
process,” Wiggins said.
“I think the last check we
got from (the CVB) was
$2,500. The idea for the
funding that it was always
supposed to be something
that helped festivals and
events get up and running
until they could be self-suf-
ficient. I think we’re get-
ting pretty close to that
with Caledonia Days.”
Another move to offset
the loss CVB funding rep-
resents one of the biggest
changes in the event’s 16-
year history. For the first
time, the Friday night
concert will be a ticketed
event — $15 for pre-or-
dered tickets, $20 at the
gate.
The decision to charge
for the concert was not
only an effort to offset the
cost of the concert, but
to raise the quality of the
concert.
This year’s concert will
be headlined by chart-top-
ping country artists Rod-
ney Atkins, who won Top
New Male Vocalist at the
Academy of Country Mu-
sic Awards in 2006 and has
produced six No. 1 singles.
Hudson Moore, tabbed as
one of “10 Country Artists
to Watch” by Rolling Stone
magazine, will open the
concert, which begins at
7 p.m.
“It was a big step we
took this year,“ Boltwood
said. “It’s not cheap to get
people like Rodney Atkins
and Hudson Moore, but
this is a direction I’ve al-
ways wanted to go in.”
Wiggins said he’s en-
couraged by the online
ticket sales and believes
the high-profile artists will
attract more out-of-town
visitors.
“Initially, when we first
began thinking about
selling tickets, there was
some push-back, but I
think it’s going to turn out
to be a real plus,” Wiggins
said. “I think there are
2,000 tickets available, and
we’re already close to sell-
ing half of those through
online sales.”
There are two more
new additions to this
year’s festival. On Thurs-
day evening, the first Miss
Caledonia Days Pageant
will be held at Caledonia
Elementary School, and a
5K Color Run will make its
debut Saturday morning
at the park.
Boltwood said vendor
applications are still being
accepted. She expects to
have as many as 170 food
and arts/crafts vendors
this year, an increase of
about 25 over last year.
“It’s an event that con-
tinues to grow, mainly
through the work of all the
people who volunteer and
the people of Caledonia,”
Boltwood said. “Last year,
we estimated that 10,000
people came the Caledo-
nia Days. The town’s pop-
ulation is just 1,100, so that
tells you how much sup-
port we’ve had.”

officers bragged
about gun skills
The Associated Press

FLORENCE, S.C. —
The Vietnam veteran and
disbarred lawyer accused
of shooting seven law en-
forcement officers, kill-
ing one, bragged online
about his marksmanship
and love for the “smell of
gunpowder” in the years
before the deadly standoff,
records and social media
posts unearthed Thursday
showed.
Frederick Hopkins
lost his law license in the
1980s for mishandling
money and faced several
minor criminal charges
in recent years, including
disorderly conduct in 2014.
It was around the time of
his disbarment that he got
serious about amateur tar-
get-shooting, according to
the records and posts.
More details also
emerged about the two-
hour standoff in which
authorities say Hopkins’
gunfire prevented officers
from rescuing comrades
who lay bleeding on the
ground. The slain officer,
a 30-year veteran, was
tearfully described as the
“epitome of a community
police officer” by his chief.

By Scot t Walters
swalters@cdispatch.com
While first-year Columbus High School football
coach Eric Rice hasn’t been a part of the last two
Columbus-Horn Lake games, he knows what to
expect.
After a few minutes of watching film, it’s obvious
the Eagles like to run the ball early and often.
The Columbus High front four will face one of its
stiffest tests at 7 p.m. Friday when the Falcons and
Eagles play in a Mississippi High School Activities
Association (MHSAA) Class 6A, Region 1 game in
Horn Lake.
“They run the ball and they run it with authori-
ty,” Rice said. “That’s the identity of the team. They
know what they are doing.”
Horn Lake (6-0, 2-0 region) is ranked No. 2 in the
state by Southern Elite Sports Network and The As-
sociated Press this week.
It is unchartered territory for the Eagles.

That’s a good sign for third-year head coach Sean
Harrison because the Patriots are moving into the
stretch run of a regular season schedule that will
help determine if they are able to accomplish all of
the goals on the check list that rests against a far
wall in the team’s field house.
“The past two weeks we have gotten back to go-

are plenty of mistakes on film, but none of those are

No. 8 Auburn has one of nation’s top defenses
By Bret t Hudson
bhudson@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Mississippi
State football coach Joe Moorhead
knows the statistics.
No. 8 Auburn enters its game
against MSU at 6:30 p.m. Saturday
(ESPN2) at David Wade Stadium
ranked third in the nation in scor-
ing defense (12.6 points per game),
fifth on third down (25.32 percent
conversion percentage allowed),
and tied for seventh with 11 turn-
overs created.
Those numbers should look fa-
miliar because they’re pretty sim-
ilar to what MSU (3-2, 0-2 South-
eastern Conference) has faced in its
first two weeks of league play.
Defenses like that could help ex-
plain why the Bulldogs have strug-
gled as much as they have. They
won’t get a break against the Tigers
Allen) have been very good play-
ers,” Moorhead said.
The Kentucky and Florida de-
fenses that held MSU to 13 com-
bined points are among the top five
passing defenses and total defenses
in the conference by yards allowed
per game. Kentucky and Florida
are second and fifth in yards al-
lowed per play. Those numbers are
good enough to crack the top 25 na-
tionally.
While MSU has failed to gain
205 yards of offense in back-to-back
games for the first time since 2006,
the defenses at Kentucky and Flor-
ida also have been good against
other teams. Kentucky held South
Carolina to 10 points to move into a
tie with Georgia atop the SEC East.
Florida has held three of its five
opponents to a passer rating below
100.
Auburn joins Kentucky and Flor-
hind MSU in tackles for a loss with
44, which is tied for eighth in the
nation. It has 15 sacks, which is tied
for second in the SEC and tied for
15th in the nation.
A lot of that is credit to a defen-
sive front Auburn coach Gus Mal-
zahn called “the strength of our
team” at SEC Media Days. Defen-
sive tackle Derrick Brown and de-
fensive end Big Kat Bryant are tied
for the team lead in sacks with two.
Nick Coe, the edge presence on the
other side, is second on the team
with five-and-a-half tackles for a
loss.
“Just from a talent standpoint,
front seven, I’ve been at Auburn for
I guess nine years and this group is
at least as talented or more talent-
ed than we’ve had,” Malzahn said.
“I think they’ve played like we ex-
pected them to play. They’re stop-

the right way, he could
open the game by kicking
off to his sister Sydney’s
school. His other sister,
Jaime, who is at Ole Miss,
could be watching at 6:30
p.m. Saturday (ESPN2)
when the Goodman fami-
ly comes together for the
game between No. 8 Au-
burn (4-1, 1-1 SEC) and
MSU (3-2, 0-2).
“As close as they are,
they also like being sep-
arate, I think, to where
they’re not grouped with
their brother and sister or
two sisters,” Tony Good-
man said. “I really think
they like being away, be-
ing apart, and the whole
triplet thing doesn’t nec-
essarily come up any-
more.”
Scott remembers Jai-
me, the oldest by one
minute, wanting to go to
school in the state of Mis-
sissippi and narrowing
her choices to Ole Miss
and Southern Mississip-
pi. Tony remembers her
visiting Ole Miss during
her senior year of high
school, seeing older
friends, finding a sorority
she liked (Delta Gamma),
and coming to appreciate
the law program.
Scott, the middle trip-
let, wanted to kick in his
home state and in the
SEC. The preferred walk-
on offer he received in
December was a big de-
velopment. The scholar-
ship offer that followed in
February made it easy for
him to become a Bulldog.
Auburn’s pharmacy pro-
gram played a big role in
Sydney’s decision to go to
school on the Plains.
All three are thriving.
Tony Goodman remem-
bers planting the seeds
for their independence
when he signed them up
for kindergarten. He re-
calls squeezing himself
into a tiny elementary
school desk and opening
a folder to realize he only
had one set of papers and
that he needed three. He
then put the plan in mo-
tion.
“I want them separated
in classes. I’d like for them
to be raised as individu-
als,” Tony Goodman told
the principal. “The girls
dressed alike sometimes
and we have pictures here
and there of the three of
them in the same or sim-
ilar outfits, but we wanted
them to be separated —
which made it a little dif-
ficult on us with teachers
and homework and all —
but we wanted them not to
be known as the triplets,
not to be grouped as the
triplets so they could have
their own way and their
own friends, be known as
individuals.”
However, their tight
bond shows when they
come together. The sis-
ters already had made
their college decisions
when Scott signed with
MSU in February. They
wore maroon to school
that day for the pictures.
Sydney’s closest
friends at Auburn know
about Scott and the mean-
ing of this game.
“They’re all excited,”
Sydney said. “They know
how close we are even
though we’ve been split
up and stuff. I have a few
friends that are going.”
On Saturday, Sydney
Goodman will be there
for her brother — even if
she’s wearing orange and
blue.

1-0 in the district.
Heritage Academy will
try to build on that victory at
7 p.m. Friday when it plays
host to Winston Academy
(2-5, 0-2) in another Class
AAA, District 2 game.
“I was proud of the kids
for executing the game plan
to run the football and then
run it some more,” Harri-
son said. “I just felt like we
a clear advantage up front.
I am really proud of those
guys for going ahead and
taking advantage of that.
“K.J. continues his role.
It has been fun to watch
K.J. If you go from week
one to week seven, it is re-
markable how much faster
he has gotten.”
Harrison attributes
Smith’s success to his los-
ing 10 pounds since the
start of the season. He also
feels Smith is more com-
fortable in the offense and
know what he needs to do
to be successful. It also
helps, he said, when you’re
a bruising north-south run-
ner who makes it tough on
would-be tacklers.
Harrison also praised
the efforts of senior Noel
Fisher. He said Fisher had
a couple of big catches and
had an interception, pass
breakups, and tackles from
his safety position to help
solidify the secondary.
Through seven games,
Heritage Academy (261
points) is ahead of its scor-
ing pace from the last two
seasons. A year ago, the
Patriots scored 202 points
in their first seven games
en route to a total of 313.
In 2016, Harrison’s first as
head coach at the school,
the Patriots scored 258
points in their first seven
games. They went on to
score 35 points or more four
more times in a 10-3 season
that helped them finish with
what is believed to be a pro-
gram-record 486 points.
Columbus
Continued from Page 1B
then-senior Kylin Hill as
Horn Lake stunned Co-
lumbus 44-35. That was
considered an outlier for
the upstart program.
Grim ran for 285 yards
and four touchdowns in the
win. A year later, he ran for
250 yards and two touch-
downs in a 28-2 victory at
Columbus.
The good news is Grim
has transferred to a high
school in Tennessee. The
bad news is Horn Lake has
seen 15 players combine for
1,514 rushing yards and 25
touchdowns. Senior quar-
terback Raydarius Jones has
thrown for 705 yards and six
touchdowns for an offense
that is averaging slightly bet-
ter than 45 points per game.
A track meet won’t be in
the best interest of Colum-
bus (0-6, 0-2). The Falcons
were shut out for the first
time this season last week in
a 14-0 home loss to Tupelo.
“It’s all about finishing,”
Rice said. “When we have
scoring chances in the red
zone, we have to convert.
We have done a better job of
moving the ball here the last
couple of weeks. We simply
have to complete our scoring
opportunities.”
Behind a pair of two-touch-
down rushing performances
from junior Devarkas Ram-
sey, Columbus topped 300
yards against Vicksburg and
DeSoto Central. Columbus
gained 144 yards vs. Tupe-
lo. The step back on offense
came as a shock to Rice and
his coaches.
“It was one of our best de-
fensive efforts of the season,
so it was a shame to play that
well on that side of the ball
and not get a win,” Rice said.
“To the kids’ credit, they con-
tinue to play hard and contin-
ue to do everything we ask. It
can be difficult when you ha-
ven’t had that breakthrough
yet. It’s make the sacrifice
that much more difficult.”

No. 1 EMCC’s defense delivers dominating performance in showdown
BY SCOTT WALTERS
swalters@cdispatch.com
SENATOBIA — There was
still time for reflection Thurs-
day night after the No. 1 East
Mississippi Community Col-
lege football team routed No.
2 Northwest Mississippi C.C.
34-6 in Mississippi Association
of Community and Junior Col-
leges (MACJC) North Division
game at Bobby Franklin Field.
Last season, Northwest Mis-
sissippi C.C. ran 88 plays in a
loss to EMCC in the MACJC
State championship game.
EMCC then-freshman defen-
sive lineman Eriq Kitchen was
on the field for most of those
plays.
Even though EMCC won
67-66 in double overtime, the
defense felt less than overjoyed
after allowing 644 yards.
“It was just disgusting,”
Kitchen said. “After a while, I
quit looking at the scoreboard.
They kept putting points up and
our emotions kept going down.”
The win came slightly more
than a month after Northwest
Mississippi C.C. had earned a
61-38 regular-season victory
Stephens moves to
7-0 in 1-vs.2 games

SENATOBIA — Just

The No. 1 East Missis-
sippi Community College
football team defeated No.
2 Northwest Mississippi
C.C. 34-6 in Mississippi
Association of Commu-
nity and Junior Colleges
(MACJC) North Division
play Thursday night at
Bobby Franklin Field.
With the win, 11th-
year EMCC coach Buddy
Stephens moved to 7-0 in
games matching the top
two teams in the Nation-
al Junior College Athlet-
ic Association (NJCA A)
rankings.
EMCC has beaten Mis-
sissippi Gulf Coast C.C.
twice and now Northwest
in regular-season play. In
national championship
bowl games, No. 1 EMCC
has twice defeated the
No. 2 team and twice up-
set the No. 1 team as the
No. 2 team.
The highest-ranked
team to beat EMCC with
Stephens at the helm was
No. 4 Copiah-Lincoln C.C.
during the 2016 regular
season.
Northwest Mississip-
pi C.C. leads the all-time
series with EMCC 41-25-
1. However, Stephens has
led the Lions to victories
in 11 of 13 series meet-
ings.
The victory moves
EMCC to 6-0 and 3-0 in
North Division play. The
Lions can wrap up a ninth
North Division crown by
winning two of the final
three games in the regu-
lar season.
EMCC has defeated
three ranked opponents
this season. The victory
comes on the heels of a
50-0 victory against then-
No. 13 Hinds C.C. and a
24-21 victory last week at
then-No. 20 East Central
C.C.
Local connection
Former West Point High School
standout Chris Calvert leads the North-
west Mississippi C.C. rushing attack.
Calvert ran 13 times for 43 yards Thurs-
day, and has scored seven of the team’s
16 rushing touchdowns.
Northwest Mississippi C.C. played
without Kevin Perkins, its top returning
rusher from last season, who missed the
game due to injury.
Former Columbus High School
standout Chris Taylor punted 11 times
for a 37.1-yard average. He had a long
of 45 yards.
Home-field advantage
The South Division champion will
play host to the MACJC State champion-
ship game.
Entering the final three weeks of the
regular season, Jones County Junior
College (4-0) and Copiah-Lincoln C.C.
(3-0) are the leaders in the division. The
head-to-head meeting will be Oct. 20 in
Ellisville.

with the public? — GROSSED
OUT IN OHIO
DEAR GROSSED OUT: A
quiet word with the supervisor
would have been the way to
handle it. And while you were
at the store, you could have
asked for sanitary wipes to
clean your keyboard. (They
probably had some behind
the counter.) Using a soft
tissue dipped in alcohol once
you returned home would
also kill germs, as long as
you’re careful the tissue isn’t
so saturated that liquid drips
beneath the keys.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also known
as Jeanne Phillips, and was
founded by her mother,
Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear
Abby at www.DearAbby.com or
P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
5). Most measures of joy,
well-being and effort are inter-
nal. Only you know what’s worth
it and what’s not. It’s your year
to trust your own assessments
and do what makes you happy.
Highlights this solar return
include an extremely satisfying
vacation, a new way to enjoy
your family and a metal of some
BABY BLUES kind. Cancer and Sagittarius
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 7, 40, 38, 22 and 18.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You are gracious and social
even when you don’t feel like
dealing with people. Somehow
doing it anyway just puts you
right in the mood, and as a di-
rect result, good things happen
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Don’t underestimate the power
of feeling liked. Even people
who profess not to care if oth-
ers like them or not may in fact
very much appreciate a sign of
your acceptance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Should you stick with what
you know, or make a switch
to the new way? That’s the
juncture you’ll come to today
and both paths have pros and
cons. Truthful testimonials and
recommendations will help you
decide.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Since what you say always
reflects what’s going on inside
you, the easiest way to say the
right thing is to be the right
thing. You may need to sort
through some feelings and
get clarity. It will step up your
conversational game.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
competitor with nothing to lose
will surpass the one who has to
make a strategic choice about
what to risk -- an important
consideration in today’s pro-
ceedings.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
It’s the little ways a person
shows you that he or she is pay-
ing attention that will go straight
to your heart and turn someone
into your favorite in an instant.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
The best way is not to compare
yourself to anyone. But since
that’s also a very unrealistic ex-
pectation of yourself today, then
at least compare yourself to an
example that is both attainable
and worthy of you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). How can you make things
clearer to the most amount of
people with the least amount
of cost, trouble or time? The
answer may be in a sign. A
message built for all to read
saves you having to whisper to
each person.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’re always training
people. Each interaction is a
training. It never ends. Give a
thought to what you’re teaching
as you go about your day,
specifically, how you’re teaching
people to treat you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You’re handling a lot of
responsibility today but you also
needn’t take it so seriously.
Keep your perspective and your
humor and you’ll stay relaxed
enough to handle anything that
comes up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Set an expectation early
on about what you’d like to see
happen. Otherwise, no one
knows will know quite what to
do you’ll wind up with all the
frustrations of a cat-herder.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’ll have the pleasure
of getting to know someone
through teamwork on a project.
It’s the best way to learn what
people are all about, and it
will be a very accurate picture
of what future work and play
together will be like.
