When Ward 1
Councilman Gene

it was a big blow to
the senior citizens
who meet weekly at
Townsend Communi-

ty Center.
“He was an awesome represen-
tative for the people of Ward 1,”
said Annie Barry, a member of the
senior citizens group. “We were
devastated at Gene’s death and felt
like we needed to get something to
find out what the candidates will
offer us.”
At 6 p.m. today at Townsend
Community Center, the senior cit-
izen group will hold a candidates
forum for the nine candidates who
qualified for the Sept. 24 special
election to fill Taylor’s unfinished
term, which expires in 2021.
The candidates are Trent Bush,

among CMSD’s top legislative priorities in 2020
By Tess Vrbin
tvrbin@cdispatch.com
School funding,
early childhood
education and dis-
trict boundaries are
top concerns and
priorities for the
Columbus Munici-
pal School District
Board of Trustees Labat
for next year’s state
legislative session.
The board took
the Mississippi
School Board Asso-
ciation’s 2020 leg-
islative survey at
its regular meeting
Monday. MSBA’s Spears
lobbying arm supports or opposes
legislation related to public edu-
cation based on the results of the
survey conducted every fall. All
boards that belong to MSBA must
turn in their survey results by Oct.
18.
The survey asks school boards
to support, oppose or give no opin-
ion on 21 possible pieces of legisla-
tion about a range of which issues
are most important to the board for
the coming year.
Board member Fredrick Sparks
said funding is his biggest legisla-
tive concern, and board secretary
Josie Shumake said hers is the
“creeping movement of funding
from public to nonpublic schools.”
The board unanimously sup-
ported legislation that would fully
fund public schools. It opposed
fostering charter schools, creat-
ing scholarships for students in
nonpublic schools, diverting pub-
lic funds to nonpublic or virtual
schools or providing an income tax
deduction to parents whose chil-
dren attend private schools.
NOAA scientist: Agency likely broke science integrity rules
The question of whether to
support changing the way public
schools are funded led to a split
vote. Sparks and Yvonne Cox vot-
ed yes, and the other three board
members voted no.
“I look at it from the stand-
point of seeing what we have now,
and (if) there is an opportunity to
change it, hopefully it will change
for the better,” Sparks said.
The board unanimously sup-
ported “creating a structured,
statewide approach to quality early
childhood education,” according to
the survey, and Cox said this is her
main legislative concern.
The Mississippi Department of
Education assigns accountability
ratings to schools and districts on
an A-F scale, and the survey asked
whether students who attend
districts rated C, D or F should
be allowed to transfer to A and B
districts. The board unanimously
voted no, and board member Teli-
sa Clay Young put it on the list of
concerns.
Columbus is currently rated a D
district.
Maintaining boundaries be-
tween school districts is a matter
of fairness, Board President Jason
Spears told The Dispatch after the
meeting.
“It wouldn’t be fair for us to take
students from some other school
district if we were an A or B district,
and it wouldn’t be fair for our teach-
ers and staff working so hard to
improve the education here if some
other neighboring school district
that may be performing better at
that particular interval (could) take
students out of our district,” Spears
said.
Additionally, school employees
should not be allowed to carry
guns on campus, even with proper
training, the board agreed.
The board unanimously sup-
ported increasing teachers’ sala-
ries, providing incentives to people
majoring in education and allowing
school board members to be re-
moved from office for ethical viola-
tions.
Most of the board agreed that
legislation to start and end all the
members’ terms at once would not
be a good idea. Sparks voted no
opinion.
Spears spoke in favor of the stag-
gered terms the board currently
has, and said “losing everyone just
creates chaos” and inconsistency.
He opposed legislation increas-
ing compensation for school board
members, and Shumake voted no
opinion, but the rest of the board
supported it.
Cox and Young were the only
supporting votes for legislation in-
creasing qualifications for school
board members. Spears said this
vote was with other school districts
in mind.
“Sometimes when you get over
into different parts of the state, de-
pending on the requirements that
you’re putting in, they might not
be able to have candidates who
can hold that particular position in
their local district,” Spears said.
The final survey question asked
if schools spend too much time
testing instead of teaching, and the
board deferred to Superintendent
Cherie Labat. She said schools do
test too much and assessments
at the beginning and end of the
school year would be the most ef-
fective measurements of student
achievement.
“I think we don’t have a prob-
lem with accountability and assess-
ment,” Labat said. “I think the prob-
lem lies in focus and how we’re
evaluated based on that focus.”

to be self-inflicted.
LCSO has called for
the Mississippi Bureau of
Investigation to look into
the death, the press re-
lease said.
Jail administrator
Capt. Ryan Rickert said
West had been trans-
ferred from Monroe
County Jail. According to
Lowndes County Circuit
Court records, West was
convicted of burglary of
a dwelling and uttering
forgery in 2004 and was
sentenced to 10 years in
MDOC, with five years
post-release supervision.
In 2018, he was arrested

was awaiting a new sen-

Rickert and Chief Dep-
uty Greg Wright declined

being the fourth death at
the jail in two years and
referred The Dispatch to
Arledge, who did not re-

in that.”
Cohen was only slight-
ly more inclined to talk
about the situation after
the luncheon had ended.
“I just don’t want to dis-
cuss this,” he said. “We
have too many things go-
ing on with (Aramark)
right now. That’s why I
made the statement (Sun-
day) apologizing to our
fans. I’d rather just stay
with my statement.”
Cohen did say the prob-
lem was evident almost
immediately as more than
55,143 fans attended the
game where temperatures
reached 96 degrees for
the 2:30 p.m. kickoff.
“Oh yeah,” Cohen said.
“People in our administra-
tion threw off their coats
and ties and started serv-
ing people. I mean, it’s
something that we need to
get fixed.”
Sunday morning, Co-
hen apologized to fans on
his Twitter account:
“Yesterday’s unpre-
paredness by concession-
aire @aramark was un-
acceptable,” he Tweeted.
“Assured this last week
that all stands would be
fully operational. Met this
a.m. to convey deep disap-
pointment. Aramark guar-
anteed will not happen
again. Our sincerest apol-
ogies to @HailState Fam-
ily — You deserve better.”
Aramark officials did
not respond to questions
about game day conces-
sions by press time.
Aramark has had the
contract for providing
concessions at Mississip-
pi State events since 2010.
The company manages
the university’s dining
services under a separate
agreement.
Salter said for the first
eight years of the contract,
MSU received a guaran-
teed payment. Since then,
MSU and Aramark share
profits/losses with MSU
paying Aramark a man-
agement fee.
Last year, MSU drasti-
cally reduced the cost of
concessions — slashing
hot dog prices, for exam-
ple, from $5 to $2 and bot-
tled water from $4 to $2.
The concessions con-
tract expires next June,
Salter said, adding, “There
are a few other vendors in
this space that will receive
a chance to bid on the next
concessions RFP (request
for proposals).”
Cohen’s Twitter state-
ment had drawn more
than 1,000 “likes,” 200
retweets and 100 com-
ments within 24 hours.
Asked Monday if there
were still issues that need-
ed to be resolved, Cohen
was succinct.
“No question,” he said.

Put touchscreens
out of service
Aug. 27’s election gave further credence to
the argument that the touchscreen voting ma-
chines Mississippi uses should be mothballed.
Voters and election officials reported several
cases where the Diebold TSX voting machines,
still used in 69 counties, including Leflore and
Carroll, malfunctioned. In one case, captured
on a widely circulated video, a Lafayette Coun-
ty voter clicked on Bill Waller Jr.’s name in the
Republican gubernatorial primary, and his vote
registered for Tate Reeves. The voter tried it a
dozen times and got the same result.
This malfunction was a bit comical because
it was visible. But what if the same thing had
happened “under the hood” — that is, the
voter clicked on Waller’s name, saw the check
mark in the right place on the touchscreen, but
when he cast the ballot, it recorded the vote
for Reeves on the machine’s memory card.
Since there is no paper ballot to compare the
voter’s intent to what is recorded electronically,
it is impossible to verify the accuracy of the
electronic vote.
To say any such vote-swapping occurred
is far-fetched, but there is no way currently to
rule out the possibility.
That’s why Mississippi needs to mandate
that all counties have a paper trail for their
voting machines, such as the paper ballot/opti-
cal scanner combo to which the remaining 13
counties have gone.
Not only would that be a check against
fraud, but in the more probable scenario, it
would allow election officials to recreate the
vote if the election technology were to fail.

Campaign 2020
Can Joe Biden run this marathon?
Thursday, Sept.
14, looks to be a
fateful day in the
half-century-long
political career of
Joe Biden.
That night, a
three-hour debate
will be held, a mara-
thon in politics.
Biden will be on
stage, taking in-
coming missiles for Patrick J. Buchanan ranged from dull to
180 minutes from
nine rivals, each of
whom is hungry for the Dem-
ocratic nomination and has a
huge investment in seeing him
stumble and fall.
A solid showing by Biden
that night, marked by wit and
a mastery of the issues, would
cause a storm surge of relief in
the Democratic Party.
It would provide desperately was skewered by Sen. Kamala
needed reassurance to millions Harris for having boasted of
of Democrats who have a gnaw- opposing the court-ordered
ing fear Biden’s time has come
and gone, that he is losing it,
that his memory is failing, and
that, at any moment, from some
egregious gaffe, his campaign
could crater and crash.
If he stumbles that night,
misremembers or misspeaks
repeatedly in the three hours,
the apprehension about his
nomination, already wide-
spread among the
party elite, could
turn into panic.
Why is the
Democratic Party
apprehensive about
Joe Biden?
Though every
poll has him run-
ning well ahead of
his competitors, the
Biden campaign has
embarrassing.
Biden began by
speaking nostalgically of his
days as a young senator and the
warm friendships he formed
with segregationist senators
Herman Talmadge and Jim
Eastland, the latter a Mississip-
pi pillar of “massive resistance”
to civil rights legislation.
In the first debate, Biden
busing that, Harris claims, en-
abled her to get an integrated
education in California.
Asked, in Keene, New
Hampshire, how it felt to be in
the lovely town, Biden volun-
teered, “Look, what’s not to
like about Vermont.”
Biden spoke of meeting
in his vice president’s office
with students from Marjo-
ry Stoneman Douglas High
School in Parkland, Florida,
the scene of a horrific school
shooting. Only the Parkland
massacre did not occur until af-
ter he left the vice presidency.
Speaking in the aftermath
of shootings in El Paso, Texas,
and Dayton, Ohio, Biden talked
of the recent “tragic events
in Houston and also in Michi-
gan the day before.” After the
shootings in Odessa, Texas,
done with an assault rifle, an
outraged Joe said it was “abso-
lutely mindless” not to ban all
firearm magazines that carry
more than a single bullet.
“We choose unity over divi-
sion. We choose science over
fiction. We choose truth over
facts,” Biden thundered in Des
Moines.
Given months of campaign-
ing in which the principal fea-
ture has been his gaffes, why is
Joe still the front-runner?
Because he has been around
so long as a senator and vice
president, from 1973 to 2017, is
well-known and well-liked, is
the most acceptable of the can-
didates to moderates fearful of
the rising radicalism in the par-
ty — and, above all, because
every poll shows Biden has the
best shot at beating Donald
Trump.
Biden has undeniable as-
sets. He was Barack Obama’s
loyal subaltern. He is seen,
even by opponents, as a nice
guy, a politician without malice
and a pragmatist unencum-
bered by principle who can
slide leftward at the same
speed as his party on issues
such as abortion and same-sex
marriage.
Biden is a believer in the
maxim of Sen. Henry Ashurst
of Arizona that the “clammy
hand of consistency should
never rest for long upon the
shoulder of a statesman.”
Also, Biden’s rivals have
proven unimpressive, with the
exception of Sen. Elizabeth
Warren, who has steadily plod-
ded upward to challenge the
socialist Bernie Sanders for the
second position.
Biden’s crowds are anemic
compared to Warren’s. His
speeches range from the un-
exciting to the boring. He has
no enticing policy agenda, no
inspiring message, no captivat-
ing slogan. As a political ath-
lete, he is not even in the same
league as Obama or JFK.
He does not excite the
Democratic youth. And if he
won in 2020, he would be, at 78,
our oldest president. Jill Biden,
his wife, made the case for Joe
well: “You may like another
candidate better, but you have
to look at who’s going to win...
Joe is that person.”
Like Warren Harding a cen-
tury ago, Biden holds out to the
nation the promise of a “return
to normalcy.”
In his days in the Senate,
he was famous for his tough-
on-crime stand and his vote to
authorize the war in Iraq — a
blunder of historic proportions.
If elected, at the end of his
first term, Biden would be 82.
If he sought and served the two
terms every president seems to
seek, he would, in 2028, be 86
years old on leaving office.
Does the Joe Biden of the
summer of 2019 look like he
could be, a decade from now,
the dynamic leader America
could rely on to face down
the successors to China’s Xi
Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir
Putin?
Prediction: At some point in
this campaign, Joe Biden will
declare that, if elected, he will
only serve one term.

Democratic candidates look for edge on Iowa’s campuses

‘It’s a fractured primary field and locking up
a key constituency or two might be enough
to win the caucuses or place higher than
pundits might’ve expected’
Ben LaBolt, a campaign spokesman
for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012
By ALEX ANDR A JAFFE
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — On
a sunny Tuesday as the fall se-
mester was beginning on Iowa
State University’s campus,
volunteers for three presiden-
tial candidates set up tables,
calling out to harried students
as they made their way to the
school’s massive library.
Ryan Ford, a senior who’s
serving as one of Sen. Kamala
Harris’ campus leaders, was up
at 7:30 that morning just to be
ready. “I will wake up as early
as it takes if it means getting
rid of Donald Trump,” he said.
Ford had ample company.
Student volunteers for Harris,
Bernie Sanders and former
Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke were
there already making the hard
sell — sometimes with candy
as an enticement — to a constit-
uency that could be key to suc-
cess in a crowded caucus field:
college students.
With so many Democratic
candidates competing, and a
fragmented vote a distinct pos-
sibility, many of the 2020 hope-
fuls are hoping to turn dissat-
isfaction with Trump on Iowa’s
campuses into votes on cau-
cus night when small margins
might mean the difference be-
tween going on to New Hamp-
shire or getting out of the race.
Most of the history of young
voters suggests it’s a flawed
strategy — 18- to 29-year-olds
have far lower turnout rates
than their older counterparts.
But there is one powerful excep-
tion: In 2008, Barack Obama’s
successful courting of college
students helped propel him to
an upset caucus victory, and ul-
timately, the White House.
In this cycle, candidates
think they have another edge:

Health tips from Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen
Beyond the binge
Babe Ruth was known
as the “Sultan of Swat”
for his outstanding play
on the baseball field. In
1924 he led the league
with a .378 batting aver-
age and 46 home runs!
But his off-field drinking
turned him into the Bar-
on of Binge, and in 1925
it caused him to miss
part of spring training
and 56 games.
A study found that
binge drinking — down-
ing five or more drinks
at a time (guys) or four
or more (gals) — isn’t
confined to superstars.
Seems 10 percent of
Americans 65-plus are
bingeing. The research,
published in the Journal
of the American Geri-
atrics Society, looked
at the habits of 10,927
seniors and found that
such marathon drinking
sessions are a growing
problem. What’s more,
bingers are frequently
combining alcohol with
cannabis.
Risky business: When
older folks take a hit
of alcohol (plus pot)
they’re more likely to
fall and break bones.
(Binge-drinking elders
end up in the emergency
room more often than
non-bingeing peers.) In
addition, the research
found the most common
chronic diseases among
older binge drinkers
were high blood pressure
(41.4 percent), cardio-
vascular disease (23.1
percent) and diabetes
(17.7 percent), and that
alcohol can make it hard
to manage those condi-
tions. Plus, when it mixes
with meds for those
disorders — yikes!
So if you or someone
you know are binge
drinking, ask yourself:

Why? Visceral fat
clustered around internal
organs is inflammato-
ry and interferes with
organs’ normal func-
tioning. That’s why, at
any weight, if you have
a waist circumference
greater than 35 inch-

your belly button while
you suck your tummy in
— it’s time for a flat-tum-

■ Eat 7-9 servings
of fruits and vegetables
daily. Ditch processed
carbs and added sugars
or syrups; they’re pro-in-
flammatory foods that
increase inflammatory
belly fat.
■ Work out using
resistance bands and
hand weights to build
lean muscle mass and
trigger fat-burning. One
study found that 20 min-
utes of strength-building
exercise daily was twice
as effective at reducing
belly fat as 20 minutes of
daily aerobics.
■ Eat most of your

try intermittent fasting.

Meet the algebra teacher providing ‘Twitter
mayhem’ and more for West Point football
BY theo derosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
WEST POINT — Even for the
math teacher, there were too many
numbers.
When Justin Vollenweider was
hired to Chris Chambless’ coaching
staff at West Point in August 2011,
one of his first tasks was reporting the
football team’s scores to various me-
dia outlets each week.
“There was a long list of 10 or so
different numbers,” Vollenweider said.
“And I just knew there was no point
in calling all these numbers when
#TooMuchPoint
all these schools can get information
from right here.”
“Right here” was Twitter, where
Vollenweider began to post Green
Wave scores. He hasn’t stopped since.
Apart from teaching Algebra I and
Algebra II at West Point High School,
Vollenweider’s role as athletics video
coordinator for the school is pretty
much all encompassing. He films the
Green Wave’s practices and games,
creates graphics and videos for the
team and runs the video board at Mc-
Callister Field.
But the West Point Athletics Twit-
ter account (@WP_Athletics) has Vol-
lenweider’s unique touch. The team’s
“maestro of Twitter mayhem” com-
mands one of the best-run — and per-
haps one of the most light-hearted —
high school Twitter accounts around.
Take the constant GIFs. Take the
line “insert witty statement here” in
the account description. Or this year’s
team hashtag, #TooMuchPoint, orig-
inally created by former Daily Times
Leader sports reporter Will Nations.
Let Vollenweider explain: Alabama
fan Harvey Updyke was caught for poi-
soning the famed oak trees at Toom-
er’s Corner at rival Auburn when he
called into the Paul Finebaum Show.
“He said, ‘I just got too much ’Bama
in me, Paul. I got too much ’Bama,’”
Vollenweider said. “And so it just kind
of progressed, and instead of saying,
‘I got too much ’Bama,’ I got too much
Point.”
Commanding the video board,
filming each play and running social
media may sound like too much Point
— or at least too much work — but it’s
doable for Vollenweider.
“It’s all kind of right there, you
know,” he said. “It’s just one or two
clicks away.”

Lutz’s 58-yard field goal lifts Saints over Texans Monday night, 30-28
the associated press
NEW ORLEANS —
Wil Lutz made a 58-yard
field goal as time expired,
and the New Orleans
Saints beat the Houston
Texans 30-28 on Monday
night in a game that had
three scoring plays in the
final minute.
“That one’s got to be a
top-one moment for me,”
Lutz said, adding that as
much as he tries to treat
each kick the same, “I got
to be honest. That one felt
a little different.”
New Orleans had lost
their previous five season
openers. And after last
season ended with a bit-
ter loss in the NFC title
game, the Saints had ex-
pressed urgency in recent
weeks to start the 2019
campaign off well.
“I knew how big this
win would be,” Lutz said.
“There was a little more
weight on my shoulders
on that one.”
The moment the ball
left Lutz’s foot, holder
Thomas Morstead ap-
peared to know it was
good, and turned toward
his kicker triumphant-
ly flexing both arms at
his side. Moments later,
the crowd noise in the
Superdome reached an
ear-splitting crescendo as
the ball split the uprights
and Saints players began
jubilantly streaming onto
the field.
Deshaun Watson threw
a 37-yard touchdown pass
to former Saints receiver
Kenny Stills with 37 sec-
onds left, capping a two-
play, 75-yard drive that
put the Texans in front af-
ter they began their final
possession down by six
with 50 seconds left.
But there was just
enough time for Saints
quarterback Drew Brees,
who capped a 370-yard,
two-touchdown perfor-
mance by completing a
15-yard pass to Ted Ginn
Jr., an 11-yarder to Mi-
chael Thomas and anoth-
er pass to Ginn for 9 yards
in quick succession. That
allowed New Orleans
to save its final timeout
until just 2 seconds re-
mained and set up Lutz’s
career-long kick.
“When you have Drew
as your quarterback, all I
cared about was getting
ready for the kick, be-
cause I knew with 37 sec-
onds left there was going
to be a chance,” Lutz said.
The 40-year-old Brees
completed 32 of 43 pass-
es. He threw one inter-
ception deep in Houston
territory in the first half
that could have proved
costly, but did enough to
make up for it.
Brees appeared to have
all but sealed it when he
spotted Ginn deep down
field on third and 2 and
connected for a 41-yard
gain to the Houston 44 at
the 2-minute warning. Al-

NFL
Raiders beat Broncos 24-16 in 1st game after Brown’s release
By JOSH DUBOW
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. —
The night started with
Oakland Raiders fans
derisively chanting at for-
mer disgruntled receiver
Antonio Brown and end-
ed with coach Jon Gruden
celebrating a victory in
the Black Hole.
The saga that con-
sumed the football world
for days didn’t hamper the
Raiders a bit.
Derek Carr threw a
touchdown pass on the
opening drive of the sea-
son, rookie Josh Jacobs
ran for two scores and the
Raiders responded to a tu-
multuous week surround-
ing Brown by beating the
Denver Broncos 24-16 on
Monday night.
“As much as people
talked about it, I mean
my god. I feel like some-
body was smashing my
temple on the side of the
head,” Gruden said. “Get
over it, man. It’s over. We
were good this preseason
without him. We were
fine without him. We wish
him the best. We gave it a
shot. Now New England
gets their turn. Good luck
to them. I can’t deal with
it anymore.”
The Raiders (1-0) took
out any frustration over
the drama surrounding
Brown with a convincing
win over the AFC West ri-
val Broncos (0-1). The of-
fensive line cleared holes
for Jacobs and protected
Carr, and the defense
harassed Joe Flacco into
three sacks and kept Den-
ver out of the end zone
until 2:15 remained in the
game.
The win spoiled the
Denver debuts for Flac-
co and coach Vic Fangio
and ended the NFL’s lon-
gest opening weekend
winning streak at seven
games.
“Disappointed but
we’re not discouraged,”
star edge rusher Von
Miller said. “First game
of the season. Hats off
to the Raiders, they out-
played us today. Killed us

successful pass play as
both the fans and Raiders
players seemed relieved
to have the monthlong
saga over Brown in the
past.
He arrived with opti-
mism following a trade
from Pittsburgh in
March. But a bizarre foot
injury, fight with the NFL
over his helmet, skipped
practices, multiple fines,
a run-in with general man-
ager Mike Mayock and
odd social media posts
ultimately led to the deci-
sion to release the game’s
most prolific receiver two
days before the opener.
Brown agreed to a deal
with New England just
hours after being granted
his wish to be released by
Oakland on Saturday and
the Raiders wasted little
time proving they had
moved on.

Saints

was long enough for a first down after
he was initially marked just short and
in bounds. After the review resulted in
a first down, officials cited NFL rules re-
quiring a runoff. The runoff began from
when the game was stopped, not when
Thomas came down with the ball 15 sec-
onds earlier.
Brees could be seen animatedly dis-
puting the decision, but referee John
Hussey announced at that time that
the runoff was correct. The Saints had
only 16 seconds left when they snapped
the ball on their own 47. They got close
enough to try a 56-yard field goal as the
half expired, but Lutz’s kick was just
wide.
Fans in the Superdome, who won’t
soon forget officiating gaffes in last sea-
son’s NFC championship game that also
went against the Saints, booed as time
expired.
“That can’t happen. That’s a game
changer,” Brees said. “If we had 15 more
seconds, are you kidding me?”
Injuries
The Saints’ Marcus Williams, who
had a momentum-swinging interception
earlier in the second half, stayed down
on a knee after Johnson’s 32-yard run in
the fourth quarter. He left the field on
his own after a trainer briefly spoke with
him.

department, may not have
much time — and teach-
ing one period of Algebra

certainly cuts into it —
but he tries to emulate
his alma mater whenever
possible.
“One of the things that
I try to kind of harp on is
trying to make it as close
to a Mississippi State foot-
ball game as possible,”
Vollenweider said.
That means getting
players behind green
screens for short video
graphics, which Vollen-
weider creates using the
Adobe Creative Suite —
Photoshop, Premiere and
After Effects. A video
celebrating a touchdown
from Brandon Harris, in
which the Green Wave
quarterback flips the ball
in his hands and makes
a “Superman” gesture, is
posted whenever Harris
scores. That happened
five times on Friday alone.
That also means blast-
ing music on third down,
and if the McCallister
Field speakers malfunc-
tion, as they sometimes
do, coaches take it up with
Vollenweider.
“They’ll come to me
and say, ‘What the heck,
V? Why aren’t you play-
ing music on third down?’
Vollenweider said. “You
just become accustomed
to it.”
That’s especially true
for Vollenweider, who said
he never misses Green
Wave games. Too busy
running the video board,
he was late on filming
one play last week against
Starkville, but that’s an
aberration.
In between plays, he’s
got time to tweet away,
and he often delivers.
Sometimes too much
when it comes to oppos-
ing schools.
“There’s been some
people that have gotten
their feelings hurt a little
bit, but you kind of take
it with a grain of salt and
just understand that it’s
meant to be fun, nothing
personal,” Vollenweider
said. “At the end of the
day, it just is what it is.”
What it is — one of
the premier social me-
dia accounts for any high
school — has evolved a lot
from what it initially was:
not only a way for Vollen-
weider to post his own
team’s scores but a way to
find others.
When he started, “it
wasn’t ever really that big
of a deal for a lot of people,
and trying to find scores
was the worst,” Vollen-
weider said. “So now you
can just literally type in
‘Tupelo vs. Corinth,’ and
it’s there on Twitter.”
It’s also gone from a
medium ignored by play-
ers to a way for them to
get their names out there
when it comes to college
recruiting, Vollenweider
said. That couldn’t be
more different now.
“I think they enjoy see-
ing themselves on Twitter
and being able to retweet
that and like it and go
from there,” Vollenweider
said.
The account has also
become a way for West
Point to keep up with for-
mer players at the next
level, be it Mississippi
State safety Marcus Mur-
phy or East Mississippi
Community College re-
ceiver Jason Brownlee.
In fact, Saturday’s
game between Memphis
and South Alabama fea-
tures three West Point
alumni. Vollenweider
plans to promote it as the
#PointCityBowl, hashtag
and all.
But as many practical
uses as Twitter can offer,
one part can be easily
overlooked — the pure joy
of it.
“Twitter’s gotta feel
like it’s meant to be fun,”
Vollenweider said. “If
you’re not having fun,
what’s the point of doing
it?”

Foltynewicz sharp again, Braves beat Phillies 7-2

The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Mike Foltyne-
wicz is almost back to his All-Star form
of a year ago.
Foltynewicz threw seven impres-
sive innings, Josh Donaldson and Ron-
ald Acuna Jr. hit homers and the NL
East-leading Atlanta Braves beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 on Monday
night.
Atlanta won its 90th game, increased
its lead over Washington to 9 ½ games
and reduced its magic number to 10 with
17 games remaining.
“It’s a very good number, that’s for
sure,” Braves manager Brian Snitker
said about matching last season’s win to-
tal. “We’ve got a lot of baseball to play, so
hopefully we get a lot more.”
The Phillies entered two games be-
hind the Cubs for the second wild-card
spot in the NL.
“We have to be better, especially
now,” slugger Bryce Harper said.
Foltynewicz (6-5) retired the first 13
batters before Corey Dickerson went
deep in the fifth. He gave up three hits,
one run and struck out seven. The right-
hander won his fifth straight decision.
The Braves have won his last 10 starts,
including seven in a row since he re-
turned from Triple-A.
“We just mixed pitches well tonight,
up and down,” Foltynewicz said. “We
used all the offspeed well early, kind of
like we talked about the last time. We
had some success with getting early
one-pitch outs to help get deeper into
the game.”
Foltynewicz was 13-10 with a 2.85
ERA last year but struggled the first half
of this season and had a 6.37 ERA when
he was sent to the minors in June. He’s
lowered his ERA to 5.00 since coming
back.
“He looked confident. Just the whole
package was really good,” Snitker said.
“He’s getting there. Hasn’t been consis-
tent enough yet. I’d like to see him do
that right there, three or four times in a
row. That would be good.”
Aaron Nola (12-5) gave up four runs
and six hits in six innings. The Phillies
have lost their ace’s last four starts.
“I didn’t have command of any of my
pitches,” Nola said.
Acuna hit Nola’s second pitch of the
game out to left-center for his 38th ho-
mer and 15th career leading off, includ-
ing seventh this season. Ozzie Albies
and Freddie Freeman had RBI singles in
the second to make it 4-0.
“To score two runs off Nola in the
first inning is always a big deal and we
did it again in the second inning,” Free-
man said.
Donaldson ripped an opposite-field,
three-run shot off Nick Pivetta in the
seventh to give the Braves a 7-1 lead.
Donaldson has 37 homers, four shy of
tying his career-high. He hit 41 when he
was AL MVP in 2014 with Toronto.
Cesar Hernandez hit a solo homer
off Josh Tomlin in the ninth to cap the
scoring.
HR Derby
The Braves have hit 229 homers, sev-
en away from setting a franchise record.
They hit 235 in 2003.
HR Derby II
Hernandez became the ninth differ-
ent Phillies player with at least 10 hom-
ers this season. The only other time the
team accomplished that feat was 2004.
Run Producer
Dickerson has 18 extra-base hits (10
doubles, two triples, six homers) and 31
RBIs in 32 games for the Phillies since
being acquired from Pittsburgh on July
31.

Abby, there is no abuse in
our marriage, and I have never
threatened to call the police

And I’m also
concerned about
how this volatility

something isn’t

DEAR ABBY:
I’m a 23-year-
old man living
in Texas. I am a
college graduate and on my
own now. My parents are very
caring, but my father has an
unhealthy obsession with me.
He messages me multiple
times a day. It never stops.
I’m currently looking for teach-
ing jobs, and he tries to inter-
vene by looking for them for
me. He’s like a wasp that will
not go away, and it is making
me very uncomfortable. Even
though I am an adult, he tries
to tell me what to do and how
to do it. I am so confused;
please help me. — LETTING
GO IN TEXAS
DEAR LETTING GO: Keep
in mind that your father
means well. He doesn’t un-
derstand you are now an adult
and don’t need his interven-
tions. Have a talk with both of
as to how to move it forward.
None of this should be taken
personally.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Do you dare reach into
the past? Talking to someone
you haven’t talked to in a long
while will be a kind measuring
stick inserted into the annals of
personal history.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
If you miss a beat, don’t scram-
ble back to try and pick it up. Be
like the professional musicians
and show people. Keep moving
forward, no explaining, com-
plaining or excusing... onward,
always onward.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
What you want radiates through
your parents about this. Tell
them your father’s constant
messaging is making you
extremely uncomfortable. Ask
him to please stop and warn
them both that if he doesn’t,
you will be forced to block his
communication and keep your
distance from him.
DEAR ABBY: My best
girlfriend for 40 years broke
up with me because, after she
told me she and her husband
were having marital problems,
I told her the last time we two
couples were using their hot
tub, her hubby was stroking
my leg with his foot. I know
I ruined everything, but I
thought she should know. Did
I do the right thing? I have
written long letters of apology,
but she has completely shut
me out. — TELLING THE
TRUTH IN OHIO
DEAR TELLING: You did
nothing wrong by telling your
longtime friend. The fault that
the friendship is over doesn’t
lie with you. She is probably
embarrassed, or her husband
lied and told her what he did
was harmless.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In
her defense, Dorothy didn’t
know about the power of the
shoes she was wearing. Have
you been minimizing the big
blessing of your life? Have
you been pocketing the secret
weapon, the special sauce, the
X factor?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
It’s the science that matters
today — what can be proven via
systematic observation, mea-
surement and experiment. Make
your hypothesis and test it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Though fighting for love is an
oxymoron, you’ll do it anyway,
mainly because you’re up to it,
you’re a believer and if anything
could make things better, love
has the best chance of being
that thing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). What you’re trying to do is
far more important than what
you’re trying to resist. The peo-
ple in your life are only starting
to support you in this. They
need more training. Excuse
them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). What a happy day this will
be — a day when you’ll happen
to catch the most important
events of the sky involving
clouds and a very fortunate
diffusion of light.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Who wants to live in
mystery? Everyone! No one!
Because the tension of mystery
is essential to living and also
the release of that tension is
implied. Unsolved mysteries are
no fun!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Love gets confused for
ownership all of the time. But
no one can say, “I love you
and therefore you must do as I
want” and still stay nestled in
the folds of reason or the true
emotion and nature of love.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). The amateurs go for one
moment, the pros go for anoth-
er — a moment that’s much
further... months, maybe even
years, down the line. The pros
take long-term risks and grow
rich or poor by them.
