NEW YORK — Fox

Monday where Michael

environmentalist was a
“mentally ill Swedish child
who is being exploited by
her parents and by the in-

Knowles was immedi-
ately called out by a fellow
guest, podcast host Chris

Dems take up impeachment drive,
say Trump betrayed his oath
Probe focuses partly on
whether Trump abused
his presidential powers
and sought help from a
foreign government to
undermine Democratic
foe Joe Biden
By LISA MASCARO, MARY CLARE
JALONICK and MICHAEL BALSAMO
The Associated Press
WA S H I N G T O N
— House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi has
launched a formal
impeachment inqui-
ry against President
Donald Trump,
yielding to mounting
pressure from fellow Pelosi
Democrats and plunging a deeply
divided nation into an election year
clash between Congress and the
commander in chief.
The probe focuses partly on
whether Trump abused his pres-
idential powers and sought help
from a foreign government to un-
dermine Democratic foe Joe Biden
and help his own reelection effort.
Pelosi said Tuesday such actions
would mark a “betrayal of his oath
of office” and declared, “No one is
above the law.”
The impeachment inquiry, after
months of investigations by House
Democrats of the Trump admin-
istration, sets up the party’s most
direct and consequential confronta-
tion with the Republican president,
injects deep uncertainty into the
2020 election campaign and tests
anew the nation’s constitutional
system of checks and balances.
Trump, who thrives on combat,
has all but dared Democrats to take
this step, confident that the specter
of impeachment led by the opposi-
tion party will bolster rather than
diminish his political support.
Meeting with world leaders
at the United Nations, he pre-

taking “executive time” at his President Donald Trump
Trump Tower penthouse late
Tuesday afternoon when Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the
House was launching a formal impeachment inquiry against him. Pe-
losi’s move increases the odds that Trump will become the third U.S.
president to be impeached.
It was a step more than 2½ years in the making and one that moves
the president farther down the path of self-styled political martyrdom.
The product of Trump’s norm-breaking presidency and Democrats’
lingering anger over the outcome of the 2016 election, the impeachment
inquiry has largely been welcomed by the Republican president’s advis-
ers, who believe it could backfire against Democrats. The president
himself said the move could help his electoral chances, but he reacted
in the moment with a cascade of angry tweets that accused Democrats
of engaging in “a witch hunt” and “presidential harassment.”
A short time earlier, as word of Pelosi’s decision first emerged, an
agitated Trump sized up the politics of the moment and the develop-
ments that have quickly enveloped his presidency since it was revealed
that a whistleblower complaint accused him of pressuring the leader
of Ukraine to dig up damaging material about political foe Joe Biden’s
family.
“They’re going to lose the election, and they figure this is a thing to
do,” Trump told reporters. Speaking of Pelosi, he added, “If she does
that, they all say that’s a positive for me, for the election. You could also
say, ‘Who needs it? It’s bad for the country.’”

State auditor promotes civic engagement Police investigate why

at MSU voter registration drive
Drive registers
149 voters
in two days
By Tess Vrbin
tvrbin@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — hometown of Sanders-
Driving up to Marshall
County on weekends to
conduct voter registration
drives were some of State
Auditor Shad White’s
best memories from his
undergraduate years at
the University of Missis-
sippi, he said.
Two years after he
graduated, he was back in
Marshall County working
as policy and research di-
rector for the late U.S.
Rep. Alan Nunnelee’s
2010 campaign in the 1st
District.
“A thought occurred
to me that some of these
people could have been
people that we registered
to vote,” White said to a
group of about 20 Missis-
sippi State University stu-
dents at the Colvard Stu-
dent Union on Tuesday.
MSU holds a voter
registration drive every
year during the last week
of September, and the
fourth Tuesday in Sep-
tember is National Voter
Registration Day. The
MSU Student Association
sponsors the weeklong
drive and set up tables
throughout campus, as
many as four at a time.
The drive registered
79 new voters Monday
and 70 on Tuesday.
MSU has amped up its
voter registration efforts
over the past few years,
and student participation
has nearly doubled, As-
sistant Dean of Students
Jackie Mullen said.

State Auditor Shad White, right, meets Katie Horn,
left, a first-year Mississippi State University graduate
student, at MSU’s Colvard Student Union on Tuesday.
White gave a presentation on the importance of civic
engagement as part of the annual voter registration
drive sponsoring by the Mississippi State University
Student Association.
“A lot more students
are interested in voting
than they ever have been,
so the Student Associ-
ation has really wanted
to continue to be a vot-
er-friendly campus,” said
Mullen, who is also the
Student Association ad-
viser.
MSU received the “vot-
er-friendly campus” dis-
tinction from the National
Association of Student
Personnel Administrators
for the first time in 2018.
Criteria for recognition in-
clude how many students
register, what events are
held to promote registra-
tion and how involved the
university is in the effort,
Student Association Pres-
ident Jake Manning said.
The two big events
of the drive are White’s
speech on Tuesday and
food trucks on campus
on Thursday. Last year’s
speaker was Secretary of
State Delbert Hosemann.
White was Gov. Phil
Bryant’s campaign man-
Tess Vrbin/Dispatch Staff
ager for his 2015 reelec-
tion campaign, and Bry-
ant appointed White as
state auditor in 2018. At
34, White is the first mil-
lennial to serve in state-
wide office in the Deep
South.
Younger generations
should be politically en-
gaged because they will
experience the impact of
elected officials’ policy
decisions for the longest
time, White said.
“For all of us in here,
we’re the ones who are
going to be living with the
roads and bridges in 30
years,” he said. “You may
not want to think about
it right now, but you’re
going to be sending your
kids to the schools in
about 15 years. You’re go-
ing to be paying taxes as
soon as you finish school
and get a job.”
Only 46 percent of
Americans between the
ages of 18 and 29 vot-
ed in the 2016 election,
compared to 71 percent
of Americans 65 or older,
White said.
He learned the impor-
tance of civic engagement
and community service
at a young age because
his father served on the
board of aldermen and is
now the mayor of White’s
ville, he said.
White told The Dis-
patch that this was his
first student govern-
ment-sponsored voter
registration event. He
spoke earlier this month
at a College Republicans
meeting at the University
of Mississippi.
“It’s good to do stuff
like this that’s not put on
by one party or the oth-
er, but just promoting the
general idea that young
people need to get en-
gaged, get registered and
vote,” White said.
Being Mississippi’s
youngest statewide offi-
cial adds weight to White’s
visit and presentation,
Student Association Di-
rector for Community and
Government Relations
Semaj Redd said.
“Having him here and
having that clout really
helps to cultivate the civic
engagement that we want
on campus,” Redd said.
First-year graduate
student Katie Horn said
she appreciated the ef-
fort to help young people
increase their representa-
tion at the polls.
“I’m 24 now, but when
I was 18, the last thing on
my mind was to register
to vote,” Horn said. “Now
I look back and I’m really
glad my dad forced me
to register and have that
opinion and be able to ed-
ucate myself on what’s go-
ing on in our world.”
Shelton: Man who rescued driver,
her child, is a ‘hero’
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
A man rescued two people, including a child,
at Columbus Lake early Saturday after a woman
apparently drove off a boat ramp into the lake.
Columbus police are investigating the inci-
dent, according to a Columbus Police Department
press release. The release did not name any of the
people involved, but said no one was hurt.
The incident occurred about 3 a.m. at a boat
ramp off Wilkins Wise Road. The driver had
called the man, who was a friend of hers. The
friend broke open a window and rescued both the
driver and her 2-year-old child before emergency
responders arrived, the press release said.
Police Chief Fred Shelton said authorities are
still investigating whether the woman drove the
vehicle into the water intentionally.
“This is an ongoing case with many details,”
he said. “We are working through many different
parts of the case and will continue to do so. The
child involved in the incident is safe. The man that
put his own life at risk to save these two people is a
hero. We would never tell anyone to take such ac-
tions, but he did what he had to do. I am convinced
the outcome would have been much worse with-
out his life-saving work. We don’t identify persons
in this type of case, but he is a hero for sure.”

Crime lab profession-

Bureau of Investiga-

“If we have a large,

The assistance allows
OCSO detectives to de-

death, and the MBI is
working with OCSO on
that as well, Watson said.
“There are a lot of

that we need to consider

Emmett Till cousin on inquiry: ‘What is the holdup?’

Investigation into 1955 Mississippi slaying
was reopened after a book published two
years ago indicated a key witness had lied
By JAY REEVES
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —
The government is still inves-
tigating the brutal slaying of
Emmett Till, a black teenager
whose death helped spur the
civil rights movement more
than 60 years ago.
A Justice Department report
issued to Congress about civil
rights cold case investigations
lists the 1955 slaying of 14-year-
old Emmett Till as being among
the unit’s active cases, The As-
sociated Press was the first to
report Tuesday.
Till, who was from Chicago,
was abducted and beaten to
death hours after he whistled
at a white woman while visit-
ing Mississippi. His body was
found in a river days later.
The investigation, closed in
2007, was reopened after a book
published two years ago indi-
cated a key witness had lied.
A cousin who was with Till
the night he was abducted said
he was encouraged that the
case is still under review but
anxious for a resolution.
“We want them to go ahead
and do something,” said the
Rev. Wheeler Parker, 80. “What
is the holdup?”
The Justice Department re-
fused comment in emails sent
Monday and Tuesday.
The department has closed
its investigations into six oth-
er apparently racially motivat-
ed killings dating from 1940
to 1973 because authorities
have been unable to make any
headway in them, according to
the report, which was posted
to a Justice Department web-
site with no announcement. In
each case, suspects or witness-
es died or the law prohibited
charges against people who
had already been tried and ac-
quitted.
The government’s report is
required under a law named for
Till, whose slaying incensed
the nation and has been cred-
ited with helping build support
for civil rights.
Till was abducted from a rel-
atives’ home after whistling at a
white woman, Carolyn Bryant
Donham, at a country store in
Money, Mississippi.
Bryant’s then-husband Roy
Bryant and his half brother,
J.W. Milam, both white, were
charged with murder but ac-
quitted by an all-white jury.
The men later confessed to the
crime in a magazine interview
but weren’t retried. Both have
since died.
In the 2017 book “The Blood
of Emmett Till,” author Timo-
thy B. Tyson quoted Donham
as saying she wasn’t truthful
when she claimed Till grabbed
her, whistled and made sexual
advances.
After publication of the
book, Tyson said FBI agents
called him and he turned over
interview recordings and other
research materials. Parker, who
was with Till at the store and
later when he was kidnapped,
said he also has spoken with in-
vestigators since the case was
reopened.
Another cousin of Till, Debo-
rah Watts, said the family hasn’t
had any contact with Donham.
“I would have a conversa-
tion with her,” Watts said. “The
truth needs to be told. I think
Carolyn holds the key to that.”
The report doesn’t provide
any update on the Till investi-
gation or indicate when it might
conclude. The fact that the case
is still open means new charges
could be brought, but Parker
said he doesn’t expect much.
“At least they are touching
it, and values have changed,”
he said. “At least America has
reached the point where they
will investigate and you can’t go
out and just kill people.”
The report said cold case
investigators were ending re-
views of the deaths of Elbert
Williams in Brownsville, Ten-
nessee, in 1940; Dan Carter
Sanders in Johnston Township,
North Carolina, in 1946; Pe-
ter Francis in Perry, Maine, in
1965; Lee Culbreath in Port-
land, Arkansas, in 1965; John
Thomas Jr. in West Point, Mis-
sissippi, in 1970; and Milton Lee
Scott in 1973 in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. All the victims were
black except Francis, who was a
member of the Passamaquoddy
Indian tribe.
The report said federal
agents fatally shot Scott during
an attempted arrest and there
was no new evidence to support
bringing charges.

Trump attacks globalism

and urges action on Iran at UN
‘Not only is Iran the
world’s largest state
sponsor of terrorism,
but Iran’s leaders are
fueling the tragic wars
in both Syria and Yemen’
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — Presi-
dent Donald Trump stood before
world leaders at the U.N. General
Assembly on Tuesday and rejected
“globalism” and liberal immigra-
tion policies while exhorting the
world to act against Iran’s “blood-
lust.” His speech and subsequent
meetings had to compete with news
from Washington that the House is
moving forward with an impeach-
ment inquiry.
In his address, Trump took aim
at China, Venezuela and what he
called a “growing cottage indus-
try” of radical activists intent on
pushing for open borders that harm
national security and sovereign-
ty. In a later meeting with British
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, he
fended off fresh questions from re-
porters about his attempts to press
Ukraine’s president to investigate
the family of political rival Joe
Biden.
Iran’s president: No meeting
with US as long as sanctions remain
By SALLY BUZBEE
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Iran’s president said Tuesday he’d consider meeting
“at any level” to explore what the Trump administration seeks in a nu-
clear deal — but not until sanctions against his country are lifted.
On the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, Hassan Rouhani reit-
erated that he would not even consider meeting with President Donald
Trump while the crippling sanctions, imposed since 2018 in the wake of
Trump’s pullout from a nuclear deal, were in place.
Rouhani spoke to a small group of U.S. media leaders shortly before
Trump took center stage at the U.N. General Assembly, whose mem-
bers heard the American president blast what he called Iran’s “blood-
lust” and rising aggression.
Rouhani said he had talked with French President Emmanuel Ma-
cron by phone — and in person Monday in New York on the sidelines of
the UN meeting — as Macron seeks to broker a Trump-Rouhani meet-
ing.
Rouhani downplayed any imminent diplomatic breakthrough,
though, with his comments that Iran would not negotiate as long as the
sanctions are in force.
But, he added: “No one knows what America will do tomorrow.”
As he spoke to the General to the planet.

Our View
Momentum
is building
for CMSD
About 100 people turned
out to Tuesday’s Columbus
Municipal School District
public forum at Joe Cook
Elementary auditorium,
where district administra-
tors fielded questions and
offered updates on a wide
range of topics.
No one specifically
asked about Newton’s
second law of motion, but
in a sense the 90-minute
session could be condensed
to the topic.
As a reminder, Newton’s
second law of motion states
acceleration is equal to the
force applied to the object
being moved and the mass
of that object.
For years now, the
school district has strug-
gled with low achievement
over a broad range of areas.
There have been four
superintendents since 2011.
Student population has
declined by a quarter since
2003.
A week ago, the dis-
trict’s accountability rating
again came in as a “D,”
the 11th consecutive year
the district has had a “D”
rating or its equivalent.
Despite that, there is a
sense of optimism in the
community since the arriv-
al of Cherie Labat, now in
her second year as superin-
tendent.
Initial momentum, as we
know, can be slow, almost
imperceptible, yet there are
encouraging signs. Com-
munity volunteer-ism is up.
So is parent involvement.
The exodus of teachers
appears to be slowing and
there are fewer incidents of
student misconduct.
“It has been an amaz-
ing change over the past
year,” board member Josie
Shumake told the audience
Tuesday. “We’re definitely
headed in the right direc-
tion.”
We sense that, too.
Throughout the community
there appears to be a sense
of confidence in Labat’s
leadership. For the first
time in a long time, there
is some optimism that the
leadership is in place for
the difficult challenges that
always accompany a strug-
gling school district.
Slowly, the culture and
perception of our city
schools are changing,
which we believe will serve
to inspire community
support.
As Newton noted, the
rate of momentum depends
heavily on the amount of
force applied.
If we, as a community,
put our shoulder to the
wheel, change will come
and, perhaps, come quicker
than might otherwise be
expected.
Musings
Robin gone awry?
By Marion Whitley
O
ne Spring morning, (2018?) with
coffee in the living room facing
the garden, there came are sound-
ing !THRUMP! smack in the middle of
the 40 X 40 inch window that opens onto
a garden area. Startled, I put down my
cup to investigate, expecting to see a
dead or quivering bird on the ground be-
low, but No! He’d already swooped back
to the stump, gearing up for a second “at-
tack!” And ... !THRUMP! ... there it was!
I ran for the camera. I won’t prolong
a description of the ensuing episode
Voice of the people
Ukraine and finding commonality
with another letter-writer
Mr. Lee Roy Lollar’s latest (9/23/19)
letter defended President Trump and
Chief Justice Kavanaugh. I agree with Mr.
Lollar’s comments on Judge Kavanaugh
to some extent — unfair to the Judge and
poorly handled all the way around. But I
wonder what Mr. Lollar thinks about the
president’s behavior towards the Ukraine
- and the delayed transfer of military aid?
It is certain that others are concerned.
The Ukraine story has led to — since my
original draft of this letter — Speaker Pe-
losi announcing a more formal impeach-
ment inquiry. My sense of why follows.
Multiple news sources that include the
Wall Street Journal and Fox News find
President Trump’s conduct — just the part
that is currently known — troubling and
even dangerous. Was the President simply
trying to fight corruption in the Ukraine
as he said - corruption that he blames on
former Vice President Joe Biden? None, as
far as I and others can tell. On the former
question, Fox News anchor Shep Smith re-
ported that there is no evidence that Vice
President Biden was attempting to help
his son, Hunter, as the president claims
(Hunter Biden’s position does warrant
suspicion, I agree, but I have equivalent
concerns for Ivanka and Donald Trump,
Jr.) No, as Smith further explained, it was
the President’s calls to the Ukraine — not
Biden — that were troubling. And under
what pretext is Rudy Giuliani, who has no
official capacity with the United States
government, even involved in this matter?
President Trump now says he withheld
the funds because he wanted other
(European) world powers to share more
of the financial burden with the U.S. Oh.
But even more confusing, since European
countries have funneled to Ukraine nearly
triple the funds that the US did during
2016-17. Something very odd going on
here.
Was Trump trying to extort political
dirt on Biden? Was there the damning
quid-pro-quo? Veiled, perhaps — but
evident. An explicit statement of such is
not required. As it now strongly appears
from reporting by the Wall Street Journal,
President Trump had Chief-of-Staff, Mick
Mulvaney, quietly delayed the transfer
to Ukraine of the nearly $400 million
military aid package passed by Congress.
This delay continued for approximately
two months, during which time President
Trump made multiple calls to Ukrainian
President Zelensky and repeatedly urged
him to investigate Biden. Did the Presi-
dent specifically say that he would release
the aid once the investigation began? As
of which there were 10 or 12 more
THRUMP!ings! but with no apparent
damage to attacker or target. They came
in mechanized succession, one after
another, as he took aim, zoomed from
the stump, threw himself against the
window, dropped to the ground, then
swooped back to the stump for barely
two seconds, before repeating the ma-
neuver, (while I shoved furniture about
looking for an angle from which to get
his photo in 14 or so exposures till I ran
out of film.)
What was going on here? I knew and
understood how large expanses of glass
Dispatch
The
Fox News legal analyst, Judge Andrew
Napolitano said, “Of course you’re not
going to articulate a quid pro quo. You’ll
just make the quid pro quo happen (by de-
laying the aid).” The Justice Department’s
and Attorney General Barr’s trumped-up
refusal to allow the Inspector General
to brief Congress on the whistleblower’s
report about this matter — as required by
law - only makes the President look more
guilty. I certainly hope that thinking the
President should not be using taxpayer
funds to try to extract political dirt on a
rival — and especially not by extorting
it from a foreign government — is a view
with bipartisan support. The upcoming
release of the whistleblower report should
help considerably in clarifying the matter.
Just like Mr. Lollar, I love our country
and want to see it endure and succeed. I
can do this while holding differing views
of the current national scene from his and
while not being a socialist. Where Mr.
Lollar and I seem to come much closer to
one another is in our concern for our city.
If Mayor Smith were to employ tactics
like those apparently used by President
Trump - stonewalling actions by the city
council and then expecting protection
from District Attorney Colom, the closest
local-level equivalent to the DOJ, I strong-
ly suspect that Mr. Lollar would — and
should — take him to task for that. And
vehemently.

Living in abnormal times
Oh, to live in a time when our politics
weren’t a dumpster fire. Where polite
discourse ended with all sides finding
common ground. Chin-stroking academ-
ics could ponder the implications of this
political theory or that piece of legislation
and mild harrumphing would be the only
sign of discord.
Oh, to live in normal times where we
had the luxury of these issues as our
biggest national concerns. But these
aren’t normal times and President Trump
isn’t a normal leader. But maybe — just
once — his critics could ask themselves
what’s normal about his opposition while
they’re at it.
Is it normal for a major news organiza-
tion like The New York Times to know-
ingly publish unsubstantiated smears
about a Supreme Court Justice, only to
return to try it again months after the
confirmation battle ended?
Is it normal for prominent American
personalities to cheer for a recession
that would hurt the personal finances of
millions of fellow Americans just because
they want the bad news for a president?
can confuse flying birds, but this guy
wasn’t confused. He was determined, if
not obsessed! Not only did he survive
the attacks, he showed nary a splintered
beak nor ruffled feather!
THEN ... It seemed a routine take-
off, but ... ! As if realizing, at the last
nanosecond ... “OOOPS! CAN’T GO
THERE!” he switched maneuvers, mid
air, mind you, slammed on his brakes
with full wing span exposing brilliant
red breast, and shot skyward out of
sight!!! (as per fighter planes in old war
movies!) Ah! thought the teacher in me,
He’s learning!

Is it normal for United States Senators
like Kamala Harris and Cory Booker
to call Supreme Court justices liars or
demand their impeachment even after
a phony story about an alleged crime is
discredited fully?
Is it normal to hear candidates for
president like Pete Buttigieg and gover-
nors of states like Ralph Northam state
life doesn’t begin until “first breath” or
that it should be legal to kill a baby after
it’s born as long as you make it comfort-
able first?
Is it normal for an entire political party
to continue trying to drum up support for
impeachment while providing the Amer-
ican people a single shred of criminal
evidence?
Mainstream American news media
continues their Wile E. Coyote routine
with President Trump. And just like the
cartoon, you quickly figure out after a
couple of episodes they’re never going to
catch Trump’s roadrunner. The only dif-
ference between the media and the car-
toon is the coyote never makes excuses
or tries to spin why he was left covered in
soot or flattened after hitting the side of a
gorge. He just concocts a new strategy.
The truth is, President Trump knows
impeachment isn’t anything to fear
because he knows the country doesn’t
broadly support it. It really only makes
him stronger with his base while Demo-
cratic leadership fail to realize they are
funding Trump’s second term by using
taxpayer dollars for these idiotic im-
peachment hearings.
This is the only 2020 platform they can
come up with? The American public will
supposedly reward a party that spent the
entirety of their two years in power chas-
ing their tail on impeachment as opposed
to working on a single meaningful issue?
They’ve attacked law enforcement, made
anti-Semites and socialists their poster
girls, and cheered illegal border cross-
ings as their signature achievements.
Still, the media finds a way to tell us
Donald Trump is the target of voters’ ire.
The country can’t wait to punish him at
the ballot box and reward the Democrats,
they say. North Carolina should teach us
all a lesson about their honesty and abili-
ty to report on the electorate accurately.
But it won’t stop them.
They’ll be back at it tomorrow and
throughout next year until Election Day.
You can hear Media Coyote strapping
on their rocket roller skates and affixing
their goggles getting ready to nail Presi-
dent Roadrunner next time he speeds by.

I’d used up all my film. I haven’t seen

CMSD
Continued from Page 1A
going to get there. It’s go-
ing to take time.”
Audience members, ei-
ther by submitting written
questions or speaking at
an open mic, ran the board
and Labat through a smat-
tering of subjects ranging
from how students are
being prepared for end-
of-year state benchmark
exams and the workforce
to the effectiveness of the
district’s stricter safety
measures, such as adding
metal detectors at some
campuses and tightening
the dress code.
The first written ques-
tion, though, frankly
asked how CMSD leaders
were “raising students’
attitudes from accepting
mediocrity to excelling.”
“We believe students
will rise to our expecta-
tions, and we’ve worked
diligently with teachers
and administrators to
raise those expectations,”
Labat said. “… We also
believe that rewarding
success, as it relates to
behavior, attendance and
achievement, has also
improved our students’
mentality. I don’t believe
our students ever had
the mindset of being me-
diocre. I just think they
needed the challenge, the
resources and the envi-
ronment to excel.”
Overall, Labat credit-
ed an improved “culture”
at CMSD — which she
defined as how safe stu-
dents and employees felt
at school, how they val-
ued themselves and how
much they felt others val-
ued them — with a dis-
trict turnaround that has
restored both morale and
public confidence in the
district.
An annual public forum
such as Tuesday’s, Spears
said, helps build stronger
partnerships with all dis-
trict stakeholders, which
he believes will also show
up in teacher performance
and student achievement.
To do that, though, the
administration, board
and community members
must honestly tackle prob-
lems still in front of them.
“We are all about fac-
ing the challenges that are
existing that we may have
a blind spot to,” he said.
“But to go forward, I think
the key is to acknowledge
those challenges and
work together so we can
build and grow.”
Becoming a B or A
district
One such challenge is
raising CMSD’s state ac-
countability
rating from
the D it’s
held for the
last several
years.
Despite
gradual
growth in Labat
state bench-
mark performance — on
which the A-F scale rat-
ings are largely based —
CMSD showed no growth
in its overall status when
Mississippi Department
of Education made state-
wide ratings public last
week. And while one cam-
pus, Stokes Beard Ele-
mentary, rose from an F to
a B, Sale Elementary and
Columbus Middle School
dropped to Fs.
Labat highlighted an
across-the-board increase
in coaching intervention
for English-Language
Arts and math instruction,
as well as the addition of a
high school counselor that
focused on raising atten-
dance rates for students.
But the district’s teach-
ers and administrators
cannot tote the whole load
for raising school account-
ability, Labat warned.
“The most important
thing we have to under-
stand is we can’t just put
the accountability rating
on the district,” she said.
“We have to take collec-
The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com
tive responsibility as a
community. … We have to
work on ourselves individ-
ually in our homes about
raising the level of expec-
tation and by supporting
the schools. … We have
to value public education.
We have to value our stu-
dents coming to school ev-
ery day. We have to value
the good work that is hap-
pening every day in the
school district.”
Specifically speaking
to preparation for young
children to pass the third
grade reading exam —
which is required by the
state to advance to fourth
grade — Labat advised
parents to both read to
their children and encour-
age them to read inde-
pendently.
“You have to foster a
love for reading,” she said.
“You have to tell them it’s
important, and let it be
natural. Let them pick a
book they want to read.
Surround your home with
books. The value has to
be there in the home that
reading is important.”
Beyond test scores and
accountability ratings,
Labat also highlighted
the district’s partnerships
with East Mississippi
Community College and
The Golden Triangle De-
velopment LINK to pro-
mote workforce readiness
among high school stu-
dents. All seniors take the
WorkKeys exam, which
measures workforce skills
and aptitudes, and a staff
member will start in Octo-
ber specifically teaching
soft skills — interview-
ing, putting together a
resume, etc. — at the high
school.
Spears pressed
on child attending
private school
One written question
pressed Spears on why he
sat as the board’s presi-
dent while he sent his chil-
dren to pri-
vate school.
Spears,
amid his
s e c o n d
four-year
term on the
board, has
one school- Spears
age child who attends
Heritage Academy.
Before Spears an-
swered for himself, he
deferred to Labat and fel-
low board members, all
of whom adamantly de-
fended Spears’ leadership
and work on the board, as
well as his passion for the
school district’s success
and efforts to increase
CMSD’s public transpar-
ency.
Board member Fred-
erick Sparks, echoing his
colleagues, called Spears
a “great asset” to the com-
munity as a whole.
“No one on this board
is here as a representa-
tive of their own personal
household,” Sparks said.
“We’re here for the com-
munity.
“Mr. Spears is also a
man who can crunch num-
bers,” he added, referenc-
ing Spears’ profession as
a financial adviser. “The
community and school
district have really bene-
fited from his expertise in
finances. … Our children
benefited. Not his. Our
children benefited.”
Spears denied what he
called a “narrative” that
he refuses to send his chil-
dren to CMSD. He did not
answer why his school-
age child didn’t attend al-
ready.
“Multiple trustees have
done the same as me,” he
said. “When it comes to
my children in the school
system … it has been stat-
ed incorrectly by many
people who are keeping
(this) narrative going that
I’ve said my children will
never attend here. That’s
never been farther from
the truth.”

HEISMAN HILL?

Mark Zerof/USA TODAY Sports

MSU running back Kylin Hill has put up huge numbers through four games, but it’s going to take more production for Hill to be in the running for the 2019 Heisman Trophy.

Crunching the numbers: Can MSU star win the trophy?

BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Mis-
sissippi State running
back Kylin Hill peeled to
his left.
Taking a handoff from
freshman quarterback
Garrett Shrader just in-
side the Kentucky 16-yard
line, Hill veered outside
and down the sideline.
As a gaggle of Wildcat
defenders bore down on
the shifty Columbus na-
tive, Hill leapt up and over
teammate Osirus Mitch-
ell and Kentucky defen-
sive back Cedrick Dort
Jr. into the end zone for a
touchdown.
“Kylin has done an
unbelievable job with his
preparation heading into
the season both mentally
and physically,” coach Joe
Moorhead said Monday.
“I think it’s as much men-
tal as it is physical, where
he can wear you down
with his style of running,
but a lot of that is the will
to rather than the skill to.”
Just one of a handful
of award-worthy plays
Hill has made in the early
stages of this season, it re-
mains a touch preemptive
for his recent run to be
deemed Heisman-worthy,
as the ever-growing con-
versation for college foot-
ball’s most prestigious
honor begins to heat up.
That said, with a third
of the season over with,
it’s worth examining
whether he is a Heisman
candidate at all.
Despite leading the
SEC in rushing yards,
rush attempts, average
rush yards per game,
and attempts per game,
Hill has been noticeably
absent from virtually all
Heisman straw polls de-
spite his recent success.
Last Monday, the
Westgate Las Vegas re-
vealed a list of 43 players
it deemed candidates for
the award. Hill wasn’t on
it.
And while it’s admit-
tedly early to crown a
Heisman winner, it’s
worth examining Hill’s
case for the annual award
based on past running
backs who’ve done so.
Over the past 30 years,
seven tailbacks have won
the Heisman — USC’s
Reggie Bush, Wisconsin’s
Ron Dayne, Texas’ Ricky
Williams, Ohio State’s
Eddie George, Colorado’s
Rashaan Salaam and Al-
abama’s Derrick Henry
and Mark Ingram.
Of those, all seven
rushed for at least 1600
yards, 16 touchdowns and
recorded 200 or more at-
tempts that season.
Through four games,
Hill has been sensational.
He currently ranks third
in the country in rushing
with 551 yards on just 91
carries, sitting behind
only Colorado State run-
ning back Marvin Kinsey
Jr. (556) and Oklahoma
State tailback Chuba Hub-
bard (642).
In comparing Hill’s
numbers to those who’ve
come before him in the
Heisman conversation, he
projects for 1,791 yards,
16 touchdowns and 296
carries in a 13-game slate
(assuming MSU makes
a bowl) — putting him
right at or above the aver-
age numbers of past win-
ners.
More relevant, Hill
is on pace to post better
numbers than two of the
three running backs who
have won the award this
century. If his stats hold
to projection, Hill’s to-
tal rushing yardage and
yards per game average
would eclipse both Mark
Ingram’s and Reggie
Bush’s marks from their
Heisman-winning sea-
sons in 2009 and 2005,
respectively.
And while projections
are just that, a closer look
at Hill’s first four games
may offer a more accurate
glimpse at where his num-
bers stack up.

PREP SOCCER: HERITAGE ACADEMY LAMAR 4, HERITAGE ACADEMY 1

Junior Curtis takes liking to coaching Patriots finish season with

By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
On Aug. 6, the Her-
itage Academy girls
soccer team was in the
midst of its third straight
scoreless half. The Patri-
ots had just been shut out
at Washington four days
before, and they trailed
winless Magnolia Heights
2-0 at home. The align-
ments head coach Tom
Velek had concocted just

By the start of the sec-
ond half, junior Sarah
Curtis, confined to the
sidelines with a torn quad,
had assumed command of
the clipboard upon which
Velek had been scheming.
“She just took it,” Velek
said with a laugh.

wasn’t quite what Curtis
expected when she went
down early in the season
with what a muscle pull
in her right leg. At first,
she didn’t expect to be out
too long. She missed four
or five matches, felt bet-
ter enough to play in one
match and then tore the
muscle for good.
“It started to bleed out,

Sarah Curtis thought
her Patriots played their
best game of the season
Tuesday.
But against Lamar,
a big, aggressive oppo-
nent, even the best wasn’t
enough.
The Raiders scored
two goals less than three
minutes apart, staking
themselves to a 2-0 lead
within the first 15 minutes
of the match, and added
two more in the second
half for a 4-1 win over the
Patriots on the road.
Curtis scored the only
goal for Heritage Acade-
my (7-6) in its final match
of the season, ripping a
hard shot off Lamar goal-
keeper Bayleigh Brent
and over the goal line just
a few minutes after Lamar
grabbed a 2-0 lead.
“I think I just hit it a lit-
tle harder than I thought,
and it just rolled off her
and luckily went in,” Cur-
tis said.
She credited the goal
to a cross from Lizzy
Wright, one of the team’s
three seniors to play in
their final match as Pa-
triots. Heritage Academy
didn’t qualify for the play-
offs, so Tuesday was the
end of the line for Wright,
Taylor Phillips and Ash-
lyn Glover.

Heisman
Continued from Page 1B
In their initial four
games, the seven past
winners averaged 570
yards — 127.54 per game
— eight touchdowns and
89 carries.
Of the recent winners,
Henry, Ingram and Bush
averaged 420 yards, six
touchdowns and 61.67
carries over that span.
By contrast, Hill has
totaled 551 yards, five
touchdowns and 91 car-
ries in games against
Louisiana, Southern
Miss, Kansas State and
Kentucky — giving him
higher marks than all of
the past three winners.
“That’s amazing to
me,” Hill said of being in
the realm of Henry, In-
gram and Bush. “That’s
a true blessing. Big credit
to the coaching staff for
getting me prepared for
this wonderful season
that I’m having, but I’m
not finished yet. I’ve got
a long way to go to finish.
Never know what might
happen.”
Numbers aside, there’s
a level of hierarchical bias
to the Heisman voting.
Of the seven past win-
ners, the average final AP
Poll slot for their teams
was 4.57. Further, only
Texas finished worse than
No. 6 during their player’s
Heisman-winning year, as
the Longhorns concluded
the 1998 season ranked
No. 15 in the nation.
Those teams also av-
eraged 11.57 wins, and
none lost more than three
games.
As it relates to Hill,
MSU’s best ever finish
in the AP Poll came in
1940 when the Bulldogs
were ranked No. 9 after
Allyn McKeen guided the
program to its first ever
postseason victory in the
Orange Bowl.
In the 78 seasons since
that win, the Bulldogs
have finished better than
15th once: 2014, when
Dak Prescott led MSU to
its first ever No. 1 rank-
ing before dropping three
of its final four games to
close the season at No. 11.
MSU has also reached
the 10-win plateau just
three times — 1940, 1999
and 2014 — meaning
the Bulldogs would have
to post the best record
in program history for
Hill to have a shot at the
award.
At 3-1, the Bulldogs
head into their first true
road test of the season
against No. 7 Auburn.
The Tigers enter the con-
test with the nation’s 20th
best rush defense, allow-
ing just 89.5 yards per
game on the ground.
Should Hill continue
his recent tear and MSU
spring an upset Satur-
day in a place it has won
just twice since 2001, he
could find himself in the
early-season Heisman
conversation. But as was
the case for his diving
touchdown in last Satur-
day’s win over Kentucky,
it’s still way too early for
a Heisman moment, let
alone a winner.
“He is probably going
to have to put up ungodly
numbers to actually have
any legit shot,” one anon-
ymous Heisman voter
told The Dispatch. “But
to be mentioned among
the candidates for the
Heisman Trophy, all he’s
got to do is keep doing
what he’s doing.”

the team,” Curtis said.
The Patriots’ strength,
though, lies in their ju-
nior class of six players,
including Curtis and goal-
keeper Haven Tuggle.
Even after Tuggle con-
ceded three goals Tues-
day, Patriots coach Tom
Velek maintained his faith
in her as the best goalie in
the state, noting that La-
mar’s third goal came on
an Alexandria Rowland
blast from some 30 yards
away.
“That’s a beautiful shot
and there’s no pressure
on ’em,” Velek said.
Lamar used Heritage
Academy’s light pressure
to its advantage often.
Sarah Pierce Swift
came up unmarked to re-
direct a rebound into the
net the Raiders’ first goal
in the 12th minute. In the
14th minute, Lamar was

You and your wife can find
help — and support — at the
nearest LGBT center that offers
couples counseling. If there
isn’t one in your community,
check the nearest large city to

You and your wife should
also reach out to the Straight

DEAR ABBY:
I have two adult
children who are
divorced and both
live out of state.
My son has no
children, and my
daughter has
two who are now
adults. I’m close to my son but
have been estranged from my
daughter and grandchildren for
almost 20 years. (There is no
possibility of a reconciliation.)
I have not explained the
details about this situation to
anyone. My close friends know I
have no contact with them and,
thankfully, to their credit, they
haven’t asked. My co-workers,
however, want to know about
my family. I have tried giving
them generic information, such
as “they live out of state,” but
a few keep asking for more
details, such as when are they
coming to visit, what do they
do, etc. Some are being friend-
ly, but a couple of them are
busybodies. What can I say to
deter them and their questions
without being rude? — COMPLI-

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Love unfolds in small gestures
and continues to bond that way
throughout the life of the rela-
tionship. Smiling into the eyes
of another, a pat on the back,
holding hands — these are the
glue that holds over time.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Sweeping change is a hard
thing to create if you’re still in
the usual circumstances. If you
can’t entirely switch environ-
ments, your best bet is a more
cumulative approach. Establish
showdown with South Pa-
nola (5-0), which is third
in Class 6A and fourth in
the state, on Friday.

CATED IN VIRGINIA
DEAR COMPLICATED: This
situation is more common than
many people realize, and the
best way to stop nosy people
from repeatedly asking ques-
tions would simply be to say,
“We are estranged.” Period. If
someone is so insensitive as
to question you about why, you
are free to say you prefer not to
discuss it — now or ever.
DEAR ABBY: What would you
say about a married man who
cultivates online friendships
with young women? He is in
contact with one of them every
hour, calling or texting. Mostly
it is innocent, but there are
very warm texts that include
“kisses” icons (“just pictures,
nothing more!”).
He does not hide this
from his wife. He tells her
he is enjoying very much the
communication with a young,
beautiful woman. He says it
is just a game for him, he has
no feelings for them, he loves
his wife and only her (and she
feels it strongly). Do you think
this kind of communication is
acceptable? — TRIVIAL FLIRT
IN RUSSIA
DEAR TRIVIAL FLIRT: I don’t
think so. The husband may not
be cheating on his wife in the
classic sense, but calling and
texting is not only disrespectful
to the wife he says he loves,
but also to the young women
who may not understand that
it’s “just a game.”
one small habit at a time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
There’s a risk of getting too
caught up in your own head.
Concern yourself with the
well-being of others and you’ll
reach the happiest state of
mind achievable today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). Telling other people how
beautiful they are is dicey
business. The compliment can
come off as impertinent or
leave people feeling weird and
self-conscious. Seek ways to
build rapport that don’t focus on
superficial qualities.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Adversity is an inevitable part
of every life, which is why it’s so
important to develop resilience.
Resilience is developed by
working through pain but also
by enjoying and appreciating the
easy, fun days like today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Today there are three moments
of joy worth noting in some way,
by writing them down, taking
a picture or retelling the story.
As you collect these joyful bits,
you raise yourself and everyone
around you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). It’s one of those days
when it takes a little more acti-
vation energy to get up, get out
and get going. It will be worth
the effort. All the cool stuff is
in the flow of life out in the big
world.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Embrace a stressful
situation. Bring it up close, and
mentally wrap yourself around
it. The close view shows you it’s
not as big a deal as it seemed.
Being brave enough to proceed
will matter more than any
outcome.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’ve done a few things
very well recently, and you’d be
remiss to let this go without
acknowledgment. Give yourself
the same warmth and props
you would give an employee you
were training or a child you were
teaching.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Consider that feeling good
may be a matter of the frequen-
cy of pleasant things instead
of the intensity of one glorious
win. Big happy events may bring
a rush, but it’s the small daily
rushes that build up an overall
pleasant tone.

he early morning chaos and
activity-packed evenings of
the back-to-school season
can make finding time to connect
challenging. Throughout the day,
there can be small windows of
time that your family can make

“As a busy mom, I know how
hard it can be to find time to slow

Tanya Altmann, pediatrician and
parenting expert. “After-school
snack time is my secret weapon.
It’s a time we can all pause for a

HERSHEY’S “PERFECTLY
CHOCOLATE”
CHOCOLATE CAKE
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking
powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water (or a mix
of leftover coffee and boiling
water to equal 1 cup)
n Preheat oven to 350 F for
shiny pans or 325 for dark
or coated pans. Spray pans
with a flour and oil cooking
spray such as Baker’s Joy.
For birthday cakes, I use two
9-inch round cake pans. Set a
pot or kettle of water over high
heat to boil.
n Stir sugar, flour, cocoa,
baking powder, baking soda,
and salt in large mixing bowl.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and
vanilla. Beat with mixer about
2 minutes. Add boiling water
(or boiling water plus coffee)
and stir carefully. Batter will be
very thin and splatter easily.
n Pour batter into prepared
pan(s). Bake 30 to 35 min-
utes until a wooden toothpick
or cake tester inserted in
center comes out clean. Cool
in pan about 5 minutes and
then turn out of pans carefully
to cool completely.
This cake actually gets
better-tasting with time, so
feel free to bake and frost it
a day or two ahead of time. If
you want to make it further in
advance than that, wrap each
layer tightly in a double layer
of plastic wrap and freeze
until firm on a baking sheet.
Place wrapped cakes in large
zippered plastic bags for long-
term freezing.
“PERFECTLY
CHOCOLATE”
CHOCOLATE FROSTING
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or
margarine
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
n Melt butter. I do this in a
glass or ceramic mixing bowl
heated in the microwave at
30-second intervals. Add
cocoa and mix well. Alternately
add powdered sugar and milk,
beating to spreading consis-
tency.
n Add small amount addi-
tional milk, if needed. Stir
in vanilla. Makes about 2
cups frosting, enough for a
two-layer cake…plus some
for graham cracker sandwich
cookies.
