$50M teacher raise proposed by Bryant equals 3 percent boost

Mississippi Department of Education figures
show classroom teachers made $44,659
on average in 2016-2017
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON — The $50 mil-
lion proposed by Gov. Phil Bry-
ant for teacher pay raises over
the next two years would boost
overall teacher salaries by just
under 3 percent, the Missis-
sippi Department of Education
says.
Based on the 31,658 class-
room teachers statewide in
2016-2017, the money would
amount to a raise of $790 before
taxes in each of the next two
years.
Bryant spokesman Knox
Graham says the governor
doesn’t yet have specific rec-
ommendations on whether the
raise should be a flat amount
for each teacher or distributed
some other way.
“In regards to how the raise
would be implemented, Gov.
Bryant looks forward to work-
ing with the Mississippi Legis-
lature to hash out those specific
details,” Graham said Wednes-
day.
Mississippi Department of
Education figures show class-
room teachers made $44,659 on
average in 2016-2017. That in-
cludes state funds that are paid
based on education and years of
experience as well as local sup-
plements that vary by school
district.
Lt. Gov Tate Reeves, who’s
expected to run for governor in
2019 and first floated the idea in
September, also hasn’t made a
specific proposal.
“He has been talking to the
governor about a teacher pay
plan and he’s been working on
the details,” spokeswoman Lau-
ra Hipp said.
Reeves has been a champion
of a program that pays bonuses
to teachers in schools that get
good state ratings or improve
their ratings.
Teachers groups remain
wary of the proposal, saying it
still feels like an election-year
ploy for teacher votes.
“I think it’s an opening bid
and I think it will be telling if
Tate Reeves is serious about a
salary increase, how much he
will propose,” said Kelly Riley,
executive director of the Mis-
sissippi Professional Educators.
“The feedback that I’ve gotten
is that everyone sees this as a
campaign year.”
The raise is one of the major
expenditures of the $6.3 bil-
lion budget proposal that Bry-
ant released last week for the
year beginning July 1. Bryant
also proposes $75 million to
increase funding for the state’s
pension fund, $8.5 million to
increase college financial aid,
nearly $26 million to increase
funding to Mississippi’s foster
care program and $17 million to
improve pay and funding for the
state prison system.
Mississippi lawmakers last
approved a $2,500 pay raise for
teachers in 2014, taking effect
over two years. That cost the
state roughly $100 million a
year once fully in effect.
The National Education As-
sociation rates Mississippi last
among states in teacher salary.
Mississippi mandates teacher
pay begin at $34,390 for a new
college graduate. Mandated
pay reaches above $67,000 for
someone with a doctorate and
more than 35 years of experi-
ence.

Man shot at Mississippi pawn shop
after smashing glass case
GULFPORT — A man shot in a con-
frontation at a Mississippi Gulf Coast
pawn shop had recently spent two weeks
in a hospital being treated for mental ill-
ness.
The Sun Herald reports family mem-
bers say 28-year-old Anthony Moody has
bipolar disorder and paranoid schizo-
phrenia, but say his display-case shatter-
ing confrontation was out of character for
him.
Police say he used a sledgehammer to
break into glass case before he was shot
at by police and employees. It’s unclear
whose bullets wounded Moody. Attorney
Michael Crosby says Moody was shot
twice from behind, once in the arm and
once into the abdomen. He says Moody
remains hospitalized.
Crosby says Moody will be charged
with two counts each of armed robbery
and auto burglary and one count of gun
possession by a convicted felon.

Fire evacuees do their best on a sad Thanksgiving
“Today we’re grateful; I don’t know about happy. ‘Happy’
Thanksgiving is kind of a weird thing at the moment.”
Patty Rough, who lost her home in the California wildfire
By K ATHLEEN RONAYNE
The Associated Press
CHICO, Calif. — Patty
Rough lost her Paradise
home and most of her
belongings in the Camp
Fire, and she had no place
to cook a family meal on
Thanksgiving.
But she and her hus-
band are safe, and she
was still able to spend
the holiday with her chil-
dren over plates of turkey,
cranberry sauce and pie
at a feast for thousands
of people put on by volun-
teers.
She’s sad about every-
thing she lost but realizes
that others have far less.

Facing criticism, Trump says he’ll visit troops in war zone
‘There’s places that I’ve been very straightforward I

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on President Donald Trump visiting a war zone
By ZEKE MILLER
and JILL COLVIN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — to politicize their service.
President Donald Trump
frequently credits himself
with accomplishing more
for the military and veter-
ans than any other presi-
dent in recent memory.
But he has yet to embark
on what has long been a
traditional presidential
pilgrimage important
to the military: a visit to
troops deployed in a war
zone.

Farmhand gets 105 years for
planting bomb under bosses’ bed
The Associated Press
BENTON, La. — A
northwest Louisiana
farmhand has been sen-
tenced to 105 years after
being convicted of plant-
ing a pipe bomb under the
bed of the man and wife
he worked for in retalia-
tion for the man’s failure
to save his horse.
“I’m going to remove
you from normal society,”
news outlets quoted Boss-
ier Parish Judge Parker
Self as telling Douglas
Holley.
Holley, 56, represent-
ed himself after firing a
court-appointed attorney,
and had refused a plea
deal of 40 years in prison.
He was convicted in Au-
gust on two counts of at-
tempted first-degree mur-
der, two counts of making
or possessing a bomb and
one of aggravated arson
in connection to the bomb
planted on Dec. 19, 2015.
Neither he nor Hol-
ly Hill Farm Equestrian
Center owners Robert
and Tracy Hewlett spoke
at Tuesday’s sentencing.
Tracy Hewlett told The
Associated Press in De-
cember 2015 that they,
their three small dogs and
a cat on the bed with them
all escaped unharmed
when the bomb sent them
flying and left shrapnel in
the ceiling. “We think it
was our Christmas mira-
cle,” she said.
She said the only prob-
lem they could recall
with Holley was that her
husband, a veterinarian,

“‘Happy’ Thanksgiving is
kind of a weird thing at
the moment.”
Rough is among the
thousands of people
whose homes burned
down when the deadly
wildfire ripped through
Paradise and surround-
ing communities. At least
84 people died, and more
than 13,000 homes were
destroyed.
The blaze was 95 per-
cent contained Thursday,
two weeks after it began.
Rain that fell Wednesday
night and started against
Thursday afternoon aid-
ed the firefight but com-
plicated the search for hu-
day for Florida to spend
the Thanksgiving holiday
at his private club in Palm
Beach, Trump said he’d
soon correct the over-
sight.
“I’m going to a war
zone,” he said in response
to a reporter’s question
about his support for the
troops. He did not say
when he would be making
the trip or where he would
be going. An official said
a White House team re-
cently returned from be-
ginning to plan for a visit.
Defense Secretary Jim
Mattis said Wednesday
had been unable to save
Holley’s horse from colic
during the summer. After
24 hours of treatment, she
said, Robert Hewlett told
Holley the illness was ter-
minal, and Holley agreed
to have the horse eutha-
nized.
The horse’s death “trig-
gered something from
which you never recov-
ered,” KTBS-TV quoted
Self as saying to Holley.
The judge cited “chill-
ing” diary entries out-
lining Holley’s planned
revenge, his choice to
represent himself and his
refusal of the plea deal

More reasons to be grateful
I LOVE writing my an-
nual Thanksgiving column.
As an American living in
the 21st century, there is an
overwhelming amount to be
thankful for.
Global poverty is in a rap-
id decline. Within the last
generation, the persistence
of people living a subsis-
tence existence has de-
clined from 40 percent to 10
percent. This is the greatest Wyatt Emmerich
period of economic advance
in the history of man. And we’re just
getting started.
In almost every area, the world is
progressing. This progress can be
stressful as change always is, but the
end result will be higher standards of
living for us all. That’s a good thing.
Money does not buy happiness, true. as much wind and solar power as fossil
Studies have shown that after about
$75,000 a year in income, additional
money causes as much stress as plea-
sure. The United States, which has an
average per capita income of $60,000,
will reach that point in six years.
The average per capita income in
the world is $10,000. At current growth
rates, the world average per capita
income will reach $75,000 in 50 years.
In other words, my children could
live to see the world reach maximum
material happiness in their lifetime.
This is truly mind boggling. The
human struggle for material well being
has been ongoing for thousands of
years. We are now on the cusp of suc-
ceeding.
Statistics are one thing, but this
reality is apparent in our day-to-day
lives in just about everything we do.
Think about the human
quest of knowledge. Today a
smartphone, properly used,
can give an average Ameri-
can instant access to all the
combined knowledge of the
world – literally, in the palm
of our hands.
Thirty years ago, such
a device would have cost a
billion dollars. Indeed, we
are all billionaires.
Look at something as
basic as the light bulb. Two
years ago, I replaced all my incan-
descent light bulbs with LED bulbs. I
haven’t changed a light bulb since. It
now costs me $50 to light my house for
a year – one tenth the cost from before.
People worry about global warming,
but last year the world installed twice
fuels. At that rate, the world could re-
place fossil fuels in 35 years, including
gasoline and diesel.
In reality, the rate of wind and solar
growth won’t stay the same. It will sky-
rocket. New storage technologies will
emerge, leading to a world of extremely
low cost energy that will have little
effect on global warming. So let’s quit
being Chicken Littles.
Seems it was just a few years ago,
everyone was alarmed about deforesta-
tion. Unfortunately for the pine tree
farmers, Mississippi has more forests
than ever before. We have a huge
abundance of wood to build the world’s
houses.
Just walk into a grocery store. You
can buy just about every type of food
you can imagine. That’s if you need to
buy groceries. There are hundreds of
restaurants in Jackson serving every
kind of cuisine imaginable at affordable
prices.
Travel? We have more jets, hotels,
cruise lines, resorts than ever. Soon,
you won’t even have to get on a plane.
You can put on virtual reality goggles
and walk through the streets of Paris as
though you were there.
Recreation? Goodness gracious the
options are unlimited: biking, swim-
ming, tennis, golf, running, walking,
weightlifting, motorbiking, horses,
hunting, fishing, spectator sports.
There are more recreational possibili-
ties than we have time.
Health? People know more about
healthcare than ever. For one thing, the
Internet can provide instant access to
information about all kinds of ailments.
The biggest impediment to our health
is our own bad lifestyle decisions.
Heart disease is one of the biggest
killers in this country. Just 10 years ago,
a heart attack meant a cracked chest
and a bypass with a six month recovery.
Now stents run through a wrist incision
can bring heart attack victims back to
normal health in a couple of days.
How about money and finance? I use
Venmo and Cash App to send money
anywhere at the touch of a smartphone
screen. In Africa, electronic banking is
proving to be a huge advance, allowing
vibrant economic activity in the poor-
est, most remote regions of the world.
This is transformative.
World peace? The little skirmishes
we see today are nothing compared
to the world wars of yesteryears. The
major powers will never have another
war. Weapons are so advanced, we dare
not use them and haven’t. America has
deployed sophisticated missile shields
that can protect us from attack.
When I was young, everyone was
terrified of overpopulation which would
lead to massive starvation. Didn’t turn
out that way. In fact, the opposite is
happening. Turns out, as the world
develops, birth rates drop like a rock.
European and American birth rates are
so low, we’re not even replacing our ex-
isting populations. Same in China. India
won’t be far behind. The bigger prob-
lem will end up being underpopulation.
One of the biggest worries for senior
citizens is when the kids take away
their keys. Hold on a few more years,
that won’t be a problem. Driverless cars
are coming and 35,000 fewer Ameri-
cans will die on the roads each year.
Best of all, in Mississippi we have
more churches per capita than any-
where in the world. Our material
abundance pales in comparison to our
spiritual abundance. We have thou-
sands of pastors and Sunday School
teachers who understand God’s word
and will joyfully teach us about the Holy
Spirit. That’s one of the great ironies
about our material abundance, with the
Holy Spirit, we don’t even need it.
So don’t get sucked into the national
news cycle, which is designed to focus
on the negative and the scary. Yes,
there is still sin and evil in the world.
This is part of the human condition.
But on Thanksgiving 2018, we
have more to be thankful for than our
Pilgrim ancestors could ever have
imagined.

GOP exploring reasons for gender

disparity in new Congress
Survey: Women backed Democratic candidates
over Republicans on Election Day by a telling 57
percent to 41 percent
By ALAN FRAM
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For congres-
sional Republicans, this month’s
elections ushered in the year of the
woman — literally.
West Virginia’s Carol Miller will
be the only Republican woman en-
tering the 435-member House as
a newcomer in January. She’ll join
what may be the chamber’s small-
est group of female GOP lawmakers
since the early 1990s — as few as 13
of at least 199 Republicans. Demo-
crats will have at least 89.
Numbers like those have Repub-
licans searching for answers to the
glaring gender disparity in their
ranks — and fast. The concern
is that Democrats’ lopsided edge
among female voters could carry
over to 2020, when President Don-
ald Trump will be seeking a second
term and House and Senate control
will be in play. If the current trend
continues, Republicans risk being
branded the party of men.
“You will see a very significant
recruiting effort occur” for female
candidates, said David Winston, a
pollster who advises GOP congres-
sional leaders. “It’s a natural con-
clusion. An environment has got
to be created where that can be a
success.”
Evidence of the GOP gender gap
was just as clear in the 100-mem-
ber Senate, where Tennessee Rep.
Marsha Blackburn will be the only
Republican freshman. If Mississip-
pi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith wins a
runoff later this month there will be
record-setting seven GOP women
in the Republican-run Senate. But
even that record is less than half
the class of 17 Democratic women,
which includes two freshmen.
The search for answers leads
to some familiar places. President
Donald Trump’s fraught history
with women, combined with the
#MeToo movement against sexual
harassment, helped motivate Dem-
ocratic women to seek office but
did not appear to have the same
effect with GOP women, politicians
and analysts say. More broadly, the
president’s brash style doesn’t sit
well many female voters or poten-
tial candidates.
“Women don’t like the tweets,”
said Sarah Chamberlain, president
of the Republican Main Street Part-
nership, a moderate GOP group. “I
don’t know how to tone down the
rhetoric. If I could have a fantasy,
one wish, that would be my one
wish.”
Women backed Democratic
candidates over Republicans on
Election Day by a telling 57 percent
to 41 percent, according to AP Vo-
teCast, a wide-ranging survey of
the electorate conducted by The
Associated Press. Women broke
by similar margins in the crucial
suburbs, where Democratic victo-
ries in swing districts helped power
the gains they needed to win House
control. Men supported Republi-
cans over Democrats, 51 percent to
46 percent.

Unemployment remains flat in Golden Triangle

Unemployment rates

it may cost them three
players for the first half of
their bowl game.
Starting cornerbacks
Jamal Peters and Camer-
on Dantzler were ejected
for flagrant personal fouls
due to their participa-
tion in the fight. Section
6, Article 1 of the NCAA
rule book reads, “When a
player is disqualified from

high enough to earn a
New Year’s 6 spot, MSU
could slot into the Citrus

If Florida or some oth-

MSU will be in consider-
ation for six bowl games:

and the schools work
together to pair schools
with bowls, according to
the conference website.
Ole Miss ends the fi-
nal season of its bowl ban
with a record of 5-7, 1-7 in
conference play. The 2019
Rebels will not be working

could still face discipline
from the conference.
As Section 6, Article
1 states, it is likely the
Southeastern Conference
will review the incident
and make final decisions
about discipline at a later
date.
Until then, MSU is left
to wonder which players
will be available for the
first half of the bowl game.
Bulldog coaches also will
work to prevent this from
happening again.
“I talked to (Ole Miss)
Coach (Matt) Luke at
midfield and said I didn’t
want things to devolve
into that. That’s not what
I want it to be,” Moorhead
said. “We want to play
with class. We want to
play with poise, and I was
trying to get the guys off
the field.
“I would like us to get
the trophy, go celebrate
with our fans and get off
the field,” he added. “I
can’t talk about any of

linemen, center Sean
Rawlings and guard
Javon Patterson. It will
likely be the same for a

juniors tempted by the
NFL Draft, tackle Greg
Little and wide receivers
A.J. Brown, a Starkville
native, and D.K. Metcalf,
a redshirt sophomore, be-
ing the most notable.
There was only one se-
nior starter on the defen-
sive end, but it was a de-
fense that was one of the
worst in both the SEC and
the nation. There is no
guarantee the defensive
coaching staff is retained
for next season. 2019
could be a time of uncer-
tainty for Rebel football.
“I am really disappoint-
ed for the seniors. They’ve
been through a lot and
I hate for them to go out
this way,” Ole Miss coach
Matt Luke said. “I am
grateful for those guys.
Several guys came back
that had opportunities to
leave and they didn’t.
“As we move forward
and move out of these
sanctions, start going
to recruit and build this
thing to get it back on
track, I think those guys
will have pride in knowing
that they helped keep this
thing together.”

The Rebels hit tight

this time against corner-
back Cameron Dantzler.
Both deep shots went
incomplete, but the Reb-
els showed they were go-
ing to dare No. 22 MSU
to handle a deep passing
game.
MSU’s pass rush and
secondary responded
with four sacks, four quar-
terback hurries, five pass
breakups, and an inter-
ception against what had
been the Southeastern
Conference’s most explo-
sive passing attack.
The performance was
more than enough to lead
No. 22 MSU to a 35-3
victory in the Egg Bowl.
It was the first time this
season Ole Miss (5-7, 1-7
Southeastern Confer-
ence) was held without a
touchdown.
“It felt like a personal
challenge. We knew they
were going to try to air the
ball out with the receiving

“He kind of beat me off

He went up for the ball

Dear’s chance at return
Kick and punt return-
ing hasn’t been a strength
of MSU’s this season, so
MSU gave junior wide re-
ceiver Malik Dear against
Ole Miss.
Dear hadn’t returned a
punt this season and had
only one kick return prior
to the game, but he was
the only Bulldog to field a
punt and took his one kick
return for 27 yards.
The change came after

“Right before we leave

missed Abdul tonight and his post defense. I
really thought Lamar gave us a lift in the sec-
ond half when we were struggling to score. He
had five assists against one turnover and could
have easily had 10 assists, but we missed some
last 18 seconds.
Carter and Weatherspoon shot 5-for-11 from
the field. They scored 22 of their 24 points in
the opening 20 minutes. Peters also had five
assists against one turnover.
Holman had nine points, a game-high 11 re-

Nick Weatherspoon added six points and

Factor in MSU has been able to
sprinkle international flavor into
the mix with players like Chin-
we Okorie and Chloe Bibby and
attract transfers like Roshunda
Johnson, Jordan Danberry, Anriel
to matching their high-scoring ex-
ploits in the first five games? Will
the Bulldogs inch closer to playing
the kind of defense that makes a
leader with the nickname “Secre-
tary of Defense” happy?
Schaefer hears the whispers. He
heard them when he first decided
Victoria Vivians, Johnson, Blair
Schaefer, and Morgan William.
This year’s team wasn’t expected
to be able to score as easily as that
group. The Bulldogs figured to rely
on 6-foot-7 senior center Teaira Mc-
Cowan inside, but Howard, a grad-
uate transfer, and Espinoza-Hunter,
making shots, we’re executing,
we’re finding the open play, but the
naysayers are out there going,’OK,
let’s see what December looks
like.’ That’s my challenge to them

we can answer that in December.”

Howard, Andra Espinoza-Hunter,
and Promise Taylor and it’s easy to
see how MSU (5-0) again is locked
in at No. 6 in The Associated Press
and USA Today polls.
But things figure to get tougher
for the Bulldogs.
Following a game against
Jackson State at 2 p.m. Saturday
at Humphrey Coliseum, MSU will
go on the road to take on Little
Rock at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in
Little Rock, Arkansas. From there,
games at No. 10 Texas, against

ern Conference slate.
to leave a job as associate head
coach at Texas A&M to take over
MSU. He heard them again after
MSU lost by 60 points to Connecti-
cut in the Sweet 16. A year later,
MSU beat UConn to advance to its
first national title game.
Schaefer said the mission now is
to coach better and to teach better
for three seconds more — the
time it took Notre Dame’s Arike
Ogunbowale to drain a game-win-
ning 3-pointer from the wing last
season — to help his team take
one more step to win a national
championship.
Last season, MSU made history
in going 16-0 to win the SEC regu-
lar-season title. That run was part
who earned immediate eligibility
from the NCAA, have stepped
right in and provided leadership,
rebounding, and scoring. Bibby is
blossoming as a consistent shooter,
while Jazzmun Holmes has grabbed
the reins at point guard and is
directing the offense with deadly ef-
ficiency. Danberry, too, looks even
more comfortable and is attacking
the rim with determination.
Still, Schaefer said the Bulldogs
have work to do. Their improve-
ment has nothing to do with the
doubts of the naysayers.
“All of the naysayers are out
there,” Schaefer said. “I feel them
on the back of my neck going, ‘OK,
let’s see how they do in Decem-
come. You need only look back
at how players like Vivians have
improved. Schaefer’s schedules
always have provided great tests to
determine the Bulldogs’ progress.
This year’s team will face several
tests against the right type of oppo-
nents to provide a sense of where
MSU is and what it has to work on
to reach its goal.
For a coach who has been
seconds from that ultimate prize,
there is no doubt the 2018-19
Bulldogs will be ready for those
challenges — and primed to prove
the naysayers wrong.

ning back is the perimeter
threat and the quarterback
is the interior threat, but
they mainly kept things
simple.
The plan was enough
for Fitzgerald to run for
117 yards and two touch-
downs. It was enough for
running back Kylin Hill
to run for 108 and a score
and for Aeris Williams to
run for 64 and a score. All
three of them averaged at
least 5.8 yards per carry.
Fitzgerald and Hill were
6.4 or better.
Williams’ first four car-
ries went for 9, 16, 13, and
11 yards.
All told, MSU had 51 car-
ries for 309 yards, including
122 in the first quarter. It is
the eighth time this season
MSU has eclipsed the 200-
yard rushing mark. MSU
has rushed for 200 or more
yards as a team 25 times
since the start of the 2016
season, and it has eclipsed
250 rushing yards in 18 of
its last 32 games. With 420
yards of total offense, MSU
has had more than 400
yards seven times this sea-
son. The Bulldogs are 8-0

in early season losses to
Kentucky and Florida.
In the end, the Bull-
dogs pretty much fin-
ished as expected. The
team will play in a ninth-
straight bowl game and
finish in the top 20 of the
College Football Playoff
standings.
On defense, the
Bulldogs held seven
opponents to 10 points or
less. Against Ole Miss,
MSU allowed 189 yards.
The Rebels ran 29 times
for 37 yards. It was the
first time this season Ole
Miss was held without a
touchdown.
Defensive coordinator
Bob Shoop made the
biggest impression on the
MSU fan base. He inher-
ited a talented defense
but placed the players in
a position to make plays.
The unit surrendered a
nation’s best 12 points per
game this season.
On offense, Moorhead
re-invented himself mid-
way through the season.
Known for his offensive
pedigree, MSU managed
one touchdown in a 28-7
loss to Kentucky and two
field goals in a 13-6 loss
to Florida.
If there is any regret
this season, it would be
the deflating home loss
to Florida. That was the
only loss in seven games
at Davis Wade Stadium.
Still, the sport is all
about positive momentum
and the Bulldogs will
carry plenty into the bowl
game. The final two reg-
ular-season games were
routs of Arkansas and Ole
Miss by a combined score
of 87-9.
The Bulldogs ran
the football more in the
second half of the season
and the results proved
satisfactory. Nick Fitzger-
ald (18 rushes, 117 yards)
and Kylin Hill (17 rushes,
108 yards) topped the
100-yard mark against
the Rebels. Aeris Wil-
liams added 11 carries for
64 yards in his final Egg
Mississippi State senior running back Aeris Williams
rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown Thursday night in
a 35-3 victory against Ole Miss.

Overall, the Bulldogs
ran 51 times for 309
yards.
After committing five
turnovers in a 31-28 loss
to Ole Miss last season,
the Bulldogs had a per-
fect turnover worksheet
Thursday night.
The coaching staff
should remain intact in
the year ahead, and there
is plenty of talent return-
ing on both sides of the
ball. It appears to be Key-
taon Thompson’s show at
quarterback. Moorhead
has his future quarter-

Another thing MSU
fans saw Thursday night
was a Bulldog team
playing with passion in
an Egg Bowl. The game
was intense throughout
with a benches-clearing
melee at the end of the
third quarter and a brief
disturbance during the
handshake line after the
game.
Some thought Dan
Mullen wasn’t as con-
cerned about this rivalry
game late in his tenure
at MSU. That wasn’t the
case Thursday night.
All in all, the future is
bright. The right coaches
are in place. Recruiting
already was picking up
before two dominating
victories to close the
regular season.
Now, as was so often
the case under Mullen,
the Bulldogs begin their
quest for that next level.

Notebook
Continued from Page 2B
touchdown at the end of the
third quarter on a touchdown
pass from backup quarterback
Matt Corral to Brown.
A melee involving numer-
ous players from both teams
followed the play and contin-
ued into various spots in the
end zone and in front of the Ole
Miss sideline.
But upon further review, of-
ficials determined the quarter
had ended before the ball was
snapped on the play, which
wiped out the score.
Unfortunately, the play re-
sulted in the ejections of MSU’s
Jamal Peters, Cameron Dant-
zler, and Willie Gay Jr. Ole Miss’
C.J. Moore also was ejected.
Gay Jr. was ejected because
every player on each team was
called for an unsportsmanlike
conduct penalty. He had received
an unsportsmanlike conduct pen-
alty earlier in the game.
MSU sacked Corral twice
to start the fourth quarter and
thwart the scoring drive.
“I know that it started when
A.J. (Brown) scored, some-
thing happened in the far end
zone,” Ole Miss coach Matt
Luke said. “It got out of control
and I was trying to get every-
body off of the field.”
Ole Miss’ Ta’amu injured
A year after MSU lost Fitz-
gerald at quarterback due to an
injury, Ole Miss was forced to
play without starting quarter-
back Jordan Ta’amu for much of
the game.
Luke said Ta’amu dislocated
his finger on a fumble in the
first half that led to MSU’s first
score. Ta’amu had the finger
taped, but he was limited fol-
lowing the injury and finished
8-for-17 for 87 yards.
“He just couldn’t go,” Luke
said of Ta’amu. “We put Matt in
as they taped it up for one drive
in the first half. He (Ta’amu)
struggled to throw it when he
came back, so we put Matt back
in.
“That was a really good de-
fense to go against. (Corral)
came right in and made a big
play to Lodge right off the bat.
He didn’t look intimidated or
scared. He was going around
and making plays. He will just
continue to get better. He is go-
ing to be the quarterback of the
future and we are really excited
about him.”
Ta’amu threw for 3,918 yards
this season, which is second in
Ole Miss history. He finished
his career ranked sixth in pro-
gram history with 5,600 career
passing yards.
Corral was 5-for-8 for 65
yards in place of Ta’amu.
Egg Bowl Trophy will go on
tour
MSU will celebrate re-claim-
ing the Golden Egg trophy by
giving fans a chance to see the
trophy in person at various busi-
nesses throughout the state and
even in their homes from Nov.
24-Dec. 1 as part of the Golden
Egg Tour 2K18 presented by
Mississippi Ford Dealers.
Fans are encouraged to
tweet using #GoldenEggTour
and post why the famed Golden
Egg trophy and Bully should
make a stop in their homes and
cities. Each city stop will be
announced a night prior based
on feedback from Bulldog fans
throughout the week on social
media using #GoldenEggTour.
Fans chosen will be able to
take photos inside their homes
with Bully and the trophy. Each
home stop will receive a free
printed photo with the trophy
and a mini Golden Egg Christ-
mas tree ornament.
There also will be select
public stops at Mississippi Ford
Dealers throughout the state
during the week. The tour can
be followed on @HailState so-
cial accounts and at HailState.

Horoscopes
CANDORVILLE TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov.
23). You know that you’re
incredibly valuable, and are so
secure in that knowledge that
you think of yourself less and
less often. This is freedom. A
new level of optimism emerges.
More highlights: the club you’re
invited to, an unforgettable date
and the satisfactory resolution
of a conflict that’s affected your
family for years. Aquarius and
Cancer adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 4, 24, 3, 7 and
38.
BABY BLUES ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Beyond the classic stripes of
iron bars, cages take on all
sorts of material forms; some
look like factories, some like
dinner tables, nice houses,
clean cars, or bottles or mir-
rors. In what way do you need
to get free?
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Why is it taking so long? When
do we get there? These ques-
tions are completely natural,
though unhelpful. With some
effort, you’ll calm the restless
heart and see, with clarity, the
current opportunities.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Today is like an elevator. You
get on, knowing the risk, and
take it because it’s time to
leave one reality. When this
ride is done, the doors open
onto another, slightly different,
reality.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Part of the experience of places
is the expectation being carried
to the entrance gate. You’ll be
dealing with people who are
new to the environment you
know so well. You’ll strongly
influence their reception of it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
strive to be the best, but “the
best” can be hard to assess.
How is it measured? Not in
popularity or awards. Those
yardsticks can only measure
consensus and social agree-
ment, which often has little to
do with the best.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You don’t believe that your
win has to come at somebody
else’s loss, but you should
be aware that there are many
around who do have this scar-
city-minded approach. For best
results, steer clear of these
types.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
The love flowing through a
relationship is not like it was in
the beginning, or yesterday, or
earlier this morning. And that’s
OK. Love will continue to make
many forms, all of them enrich-
ing in their own way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You acknowledge people
by listening to them, remem-
bering things about them,
reflecting back to them a
version of themselves that
represents how they’d like to be
seen. Generous heart, your love
boomerang is coming.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). It’s so easy to fall in
love, or have an affectionate
feeling about someone, that
the reality of the ongoing work
of relationships can come as a
surprise. Expect it and be ready
to embrace it when it comes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The great thing about
falling behind is, you never
know how strong, smart and
able you are until you’re tasked
with catching up. Afterward, you
no longer think every small set-
back spells disaster. Recovery
is in your nature.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). There’s not one way to
work. People at work can be
still as the moon or humming-
bird quick. The action of work
varies. Some stare into space,
some sweat or cry. Your work,
whatever form it takes, will be
deeply respected.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Some vestiges of who
you were in your yesteryears
might be holding you back. It
probably has to do with an old
habit or viewpoint. Getting rid
of a material representation of
the era will provide a magical,
metaphorical release.

‘Explorer at heart’: American missionary killed in India

Authorities working with anthropologists to recover 26-year-old’s body
The Associated Press
SEAT TLE — John Al-
len Chau spent summers
alone in a California cab-
in as a wilderness emer-
gency responder, led
backpacking expeditions
in the Northwest’s Cas-
cade Mountains, almost
lost his leg to a rattle-
snake bite, and coached
soccer for poor children
in Iraq and South Africa.
But kayaking to a re-
mote Indian island, home
to a tribe known for at-
tacking outsiders with
bows and arrows, proved
an adventure too far for
the avid outdoorsman and
Christian missionary. Po-
lice said Wednesday that
he had been killed, and
authorities were working
with anthropologists to
try to recover his body
from North Sentinel, in
the Andaman Islands.
“Words cannot ex-
press the sadness we
have experienced about
this report,” his family
said in a statement post-
ed on his Instagram ac-
count. “He loved God,
life, helping those in
need, and had nothing
but love for the Sentine-
lese people.”
Visits to the island are
heavily restricted, which
Chau knew, authorities
said. Police arrested sev-
en fishermen accused of
helping him reach it, and
Chau’s family pleaded for
their release, saying he
acted “on his own free
will.”
Chau, 26, was from
southwestern Washing-
ton state, where he at-
tended Vancouver Chris-
tian High School. He
went on to graduate from
Oral Roberts Universi-
ty, a Christian college in
Oklahoma, in 2014, with
a degree in health and
exercise science. While
there, he worked with the
university’s missions and
outreach department.
“I have never known
a more courageous, self-
less, compassionate man
and friend,” said Bobby
Parks, the department’s
former director. “John
lived and gave his life to
share the love of Jesus
with everyone.”
Chau also worked
with Parks’ nonprofit,
More Than a Game, a
soccer program for dis-
advantaged children, in-
cluding refugees. Chau
traveled to the Kurdis-
tan region of northern
Iraq in 2014 to work with
Syrian and Iraqi refugee
youth, Parks said, and
he worked with Burmese
refugee children in Tul-
sa, Oklahoma, for several
years.
