spent much of his
childhood in the
house on North Long
Street that will likely
be demolished soon.
Franklin’s mother
died in 2000, and two
of his brothers each Kim
lived in the house until about five
years ago. Pieces of the roof have
fallen off, windows are broken and
the yard is overgrown.
A vacant residence tends to fall
apart and become uninhabitable,
to the point that the city takes over
and declares it “a menace to public
health, safety and welfare.” In many
cases, the abandoned house be-
longed to a deceased parent whose
grown children are now responsible
for it, and sometimes they do not
agree on what to do with it.
Such is the case for Franklin and
his five siblings, though Franklin
has been paying the building’s tax-
es on his own for about seven years.
Two of his siblings do not think the
building should be demolished, he
said, but he and the three others
are thinking about having it done
anyway.

Fortunately, for Fro-

in addition to small busi-

Small businesses can

said SBA Public Affairs

“A lot of people are still

To accommodate that
expected increase in ap-

the deadline to apply for
loans related to physical

‘I’m not sure how far I

For Froshour, the dam-
age done to the boat ramp
is as much as much a blow
to the public as it is to him
personally.
“This is not really
something I’m doing
for my livelihood or for
my retirement,” he said.
“When I bought the prop-
erty, I decided to put in
some campsites. The boat
ramp was an amenity for
the campers, but I also
wanted the public to have
access to it, too. There’s
really not any other boat

lic has access to around

asphalt and concrete. I’m
still trying to get a good
idea of what all that would
cost. I had hoped to get
enough money to fix the
boat ramp and repair the
four campsites, but I’m
beginning to doubt if I
can get the campsites
back. Now, it’s more of a
matter of the boat ramp.”
Froshour said he’s
been pleased with his
dealings with the SBA,
but he’s still not sure what
he will ultimately do.
“It looks like whatev-
er loan I’ll get I’ll have to
put up collateral,” he said.
“As much as I’d like to get
the boat ramp repaired so
people can use it, I’m just
not sure how far I want to

The house on North Long Street where Mikel Franklin and his five siblings lived for
many years is being considered for demolition. Franklin’s mother died in 2000, and
no one has lived in the house for five years, he said. Neighbor Mildred Stallings said
she wants the building to be torn down.
Structures
Continued from Page 1A
“The thing about a
house is once nobody
stays in it, it starts going
down either way,” Frank-
lin said.
The Starkville Board
of Aldermen voted Tues-
day to call for public
hearings regarding four
dilapidated buildings,
including the house on
Long Street. It also held
a hearing and voted to
condemn building 19 at
the Brookville Gardens
Apartments subsidized
housing complex.
Another one of the four
buildings is the house
on McKinley Street that
Henrietta Dixon’s mother
and uncle owned before
their deaths. The house
has been vacant for at
least eight years, and she
and her siblings and cous-
ins are in the same situa-
tion as Franklin and his
siblings.
“If someone wants
to take it over and burn
it down, that’s fine with
me,” Dixon said.
The deeds for both
houses are still under the
deceased parents’ names,
according to documents
from Oktibbeha County
Chancery Court.
Short-staffing causing
backlog
A dilapidated building
most often comes to the
city’s attention through
a report from a neighbor,
and the code enforcement
division tries to notify the
owners in case they want
to fix up the house. If the
owner does not respond
in 10 days, the building
division will check if the
house is “livable and sus-
tainable,” Community
Development Director
Sungman Kim said.
If not, and if the own-
er still does not respond,
the building goes on the
aldermen’s agenda to
call for a public hearing
and a vote on whether
to condemn it. Once the
board approves, the city
has a year to get rid of the
building.
Sixteen buildings have
been considered for votes

to condemn in about four
years, nine from 2016 to
2019 and seven this year
alone, according to alder-
men agenda documents
on the city website. The
lack of steady staffing in
the code enforcement di-
vision is “the major first
reason” for the spike in
cases this year, Kim said.
Jeff Lyles, the city’s
sole code enforcement
officer, was on medical
leave for about a month
after having surgery
earlier this year. Amy
Counterman, director of
Keep Starkville Beauti-
ful, temporarily filled in
for him. Both declined to
comment on the division’s
workload.
“There was a discon-
nection, so when Jeff
came back, he had to go
through what had been
done and kind of comb
through (cases) if there is
something we need to ac-
tually clean up, and he got
those four structures,”
Kim said.
The board of alder-
men voted in June 2018
to condemn a building on
Apple Street, but it was
not destroyed before the
one-year deadline, so the
board made the same vote
on Sept. 3 of this year.
Code enforcement
goes beyond just identify-
ing abandoned buildings,
Spruill said.
“We get the most calls
about things like over-
grown yards and trash
being left out on days
that are not trash days,”
she said. “(The goal for)
your neighborhoods and
around the city in gener-
al is to keep it clean and
keep it a place that people
are proud of.”

sponded to requests for
comment by press time.
The demolition process
The city hires a con-
tractor to demolish con-
demned buildings that
are made of brick, and
the Starkville Fire De-
partment burns down the
ones made of wood, Kim
said. All demolition costs
are charged to the prop-
erty owners through a
tax lien.
Burning condemned
buildings down provides
training opportunities for
the firefighters and saves
the city between $1,000
and $2,500 per building,
Chief Charles Yarbrough
said. The only cost to
the house’s owner in that
case is about $300 to have
the building checked for
asbestos before the burn-
ing.
The department is
looking forward to the
potential training to come
with the four houses up
for a vote to condemn,
and the understaffed
code enforcement divi-
sion has left those build-
ings “pushed to the side,”
Yarbrough said.
Dixon said she will sell
the lot after the house
on McKinley Street is
burned down. Fixing the
house and selling it after
it was vacated would have
been too expensive, she
said.
Mildred Stallings grew
up next door to Franklin
and his siblings, and she
currently lives there as a
caregiver for her elderly
mother. The abandoned
house next door has
“been kind of hard on us
over here,” she said, and

Roses and thorns

A rose to the Starkville-Oktibbeha
Consolidated School District and
OCH Regional Medical Center for
considering a plan that would create
on-site clinics at the district’s schools.
Provided the details can be worked out, the pres-
ence of these clinics would not only give students,
teachers and staff convenient access to medical
care, but would likely cut down on missed class
time. Not every cough or symptom means missing
school but such symptoms, when they occur in the
student population, can limit exposure to conta-
gious illnesses. In either event, a proper diagnosis
promotes the health of both the individual and the
other people in the environment. There is some fi-
nancial incentive in play for the schools, too, since
funding is tied to attendance. There’s much yet
left to explore – especially the cost – but the idea
is intriguing. We applaud the innovative thinking
this represents.

Letter to the editor

Voice of the people

Disappointed in state’s
representation in Washington
Our Nation is disabled. Without a
sober conscience, our elected Repub-
lican Congressional office holders are
beholden to the man they fear the most,
Donald Trump. I am referring specif-
ically to our State’s delegation: Cindy
Hyde-Smith, Roger Wicker, Trent Kelly,
Michael Guest and Steven Palazzo. No
longer free and independent thinkers,
they are able ... though unwilling ... to
stand tall, face the truth, and impeach
an angry and self-serving president.
In doing so, they tum their backs on
our Great Nation. Instead, they make
calculated decisions, marching like
Army recruits in lockstep with their
party.
We deserve better.
Unlike today’s political climate, Mis-
sissippi is fortunate to have been served
by true Statesmen. The 1800s gave us
a respected Mississippi congressman.
That man was Lucius Quintus Cincin-
natus Lamar, a Republican. He had
strong moral convictions and he rose to
honor. Lamar’s story is documented in
“Profiles In Courage,” penned by John
F. Kennedy. The brave men and women
highlighted in this book did not allow
themselves to be bought and paid for.
Lamar, a legendary speaker in his
time, declared: “My countrymen! if
you know one another you will love one
another.” These words were spoken to
Congress, and after an ominous silence,
a spontaneous burst of applause rolled
out from the chamber. Few speeches
in American history have had such
immediate impact. Lamar was raised to
the first rank in Congress. He went on
to become a U.S. Senator, the Secretary
of Interior and an Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court.
This remarkable man did not seek
the limelight. He was not subservient
to the whelms of his constituents and
party. He refused to be a stepping
stone. Upon taking the oath of office, he
swore to do the right thing, to serve our
Nation as a whole. And that is exactly
what he did. In a letter to his wife, La-
mar said, “I shall serve no other interest
than hers (the Nation and Mississippi),
and will calmly and silently retire to
private life if her people do not approve
me.”
Our Republican members of Con-
gress may think of themselves as
Statesmen, like Lamar. Mr. Webster’s
dictionary confirms they are not. Al-
lowing their egos to get in the way, they
have lost the judgment to acknowledge
the criminal and impeachable offenses
of a president who, behind the doors of
secrecy, they really loathe.
They lie to themselves and their
constituents, telling them that Trump is
not running wild. They join the likes of
Nixon. Republicans refuse to demand
better. Instead, they are riveted to the
hip of Mitch McConnell, one who prides
himself as the “Grim Reaper.”
Blind support of President Trump is
repugnant to our Nation’s governmental
structure and Constitutional values.
Obviously, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Trent
Kelly, Michael Guest, Steven Palazzo
and Roger Wicker have happily joined
Trump’s dog and pony show.
I urge our Republican leaders to
focus on the work they were elected
to do. It is critical they not allow their
decisions to be clouded by demands of
an unjust president.
Mississippi’s delegation, I am cer-
tain, will not search their souls and re-
alize they are destroying the foundation
of our Constitution. And they do the
dirty work for one man: Donald Trump.
A true Mississippian at heart,
Billy Cox
Washington D.C.
P.S. As a proud Mississippian, work-
ing in Washington, DC, much of my
time is spent managing our family farm

Trump to visit Mississippi days before statewide election

Leflore arrived attired in
a “suit of citizen clothes,”
Moshulitubbee in a mili-
tary uniform given him by
Jackson, and Nittakechi
in Choctaw dress of a
fringed hunting jacket,
crescent silver gorgets
hanging from his neck
and with a shawl and sil-
ver band around his head.
The Choctaw leaders
expressed their longstand-
ing and close friendship
with the United States and
its people but did not wish
to leave their homeland.
Secretary of War and
commissioner Eaton was
quoted by Judge Dillard
as responding, “Major
Eaton with brutal rough-
ness said that the Choc-
taws had no choice in the
matter, but were bound
to sell their lands and
remove to the other side
of the Mississippi River. If
they refused to enter into
a treaty to that effect, the
President in twenty days
would march an army
into their country ... (and)
extend the authority and
laws of the United States
over the Choctaw territo-
ry.”
The Choctaw chiefs
and leaders cut the best
deal they thought they
could get in order to
avoid conflict. The treaty,
signed on Sept. 27, 1830,
did allow for Choctaws
with houses and farms
to remain, but they were
to be subject to U.S. and
Mississippi laws.
The removal of the
Choctaws from their
homeland began in 1831,
making their exodus the
first Trail of Tears. The
Cherokee Trail of Tears
was not until 1838. A
branch of that first Trail
of Tears, which was called
the Indian Immigra-
tion Road, left from the
Hebron Mission north of
Starkville.
As the Choctaws were
departing Mississippi, an

unusually severe winter
storm struck with horri-
ble effects. Many Choc-
taw died. They became
the first of some 2,500
Choctaw men, women and
children to die of disease,

during removal.
Maxine Barker, a
descendant of Moshu-

wrote a description of the
horrendous conditions of
the journey west in The
Third Arrow A Story of
Moshulatubbee.
She described sleet
and ice clinging to the
Choctaws’ clothing and
many walking barefoot
through the ice. She told
of how many people died
and were buried in shal-
low graves along the trail.
Her most vivid description
though was of imagining
“the anguish and hopeless
grief of a young Choctaw
mother, chopping out a
place in the cold, hard
earth in which to place
her child, who had just
died in her arms.”

Jane Jordan decorates for the Community Benefit Committee’s haunted house on Tuesday at the Columbus Fair-
grounds. Jordan and her husband Bo own the fairgrounds and opened their doors for the event, which will raise
money for the bike drive for children in Lowndes County.
One of Bennett’s
favorite setups was in
2005, when she created
a scary beauty salon
called Curl Up and Dye
on her front porch.
Another year, she built a
fake piano for her Phan-
tom of the Opera-themed
decorations.
The tradition creates
some pressure to make
every year memorable,
she said, since she starts
getting texts and emails
from fellow West Point
residents about the dec-
orations before October
even starts. Parents use
them to motivate their
children to get ready for
school, she said.
“They all claim that
that’s the way they get

children under 5 are
free. Families with small
children are encouraged
to come early.
“For the first hour-
and-a-half, from 7 to
8:30, is sort of what we’re
calling our family hour,”
Genovese said. “The
lights will be on, and
groups of families can
go through when it’s not
quite as scary.
“After 8:30,” she add-
ed, “the lights go out and
the ghouls come out, if
you will.”

The West Point offensive line prepares for a play Friday against Grenada. The Green Wave came back to defeat the Chargers 20-13.
Orr’s pick-six secures win for West Point
By GARRICK HODGE

WEST POINT — West
Point football coach Chris
Chambless knew the
significance of Friday’s
home matchup against
Grenada.
With a victory, the
Green Wave would be in
the driver’s seat to win
Class 5A Region 1, hav-

Despite trailing 13-6 at
halftime, West Point (8-1,

second half for a 20-13
win.
“It was a huge game
with big implications,”
Chambless said. “There

Columbus Christian pulls away from Hebron
By DAVID MILLER
Special to The Dispatch
PHEBA — Columbus
Christian Academy head
coach Jason Williams
wasn’t sure what kind of
team he’d have when he
took over the program
earlier this year.
The Rams’ seniors had
just seven wins in their
previous three seasons
and made the move to
eight-man football this
year.
One aspect of the
Rams that was revealed
early and has remained
throughout the season is
toughness, Williams said
Friday after the Rams’
40-24 win over Hebron
Christian School, which
propelled them to a MAIS
Eight-Man, 2A-District 2
championship.
The Rams (7-2, 3-0)
bounced back Friday
after a Dakota Shaw in-
terception in the third
quarter turned into a 67-
yard touchdown run by
Hebron’s Kobe Cooper to
cut the Rams’ lead to 24-
18. Shaw then connected
with Lawson Studdard on
a 28-yard touchdown pass
on the next drive before
picking off a pass and re-
turning it 35 yards on He-
bron’s next drive to give
Columbus a 40-18 lead
at the start of the fourth
quarter.
“Here’s the thing —
when I got here, I didn’t
know how tough these
they settled in.”
But the comeback win
wouldn’t have been pos-
sible without senior line-
backer Tyron Orr.
Orr made a first half on a 23-yard
game-changing play to
close the third quarter,
reading Grenada quarter-
back Joshua Phillips’ eyes
and intercepting his pass
30 yards for a touchdown
for the go-ahead score.
“The last play before
that, he was looking at
(tight end Delarenzio
Brooks). I knew the quar-
terback wanted to go to
him, so I baited him,” Orr
said. I got excited when
he was throwing the ball
my way, and I settled in
and caught it.”
The Chargers (5-3,
2-2) scored the first 10
points of the night fol-
lowing a field goal and

wide receiver Emmanuel

guys were, from A to Z,”
Williams said. “Every kid
I’ve got, they play hard,
they give effort. I’m so
proud of how hard they
play, all the way down. We
got ninth and 10th grad-
ers in there that are doing
the same thing. That’s the
biggest thing we’ve done
this year — play hard. It’s
won us some close games,
including tonight.”
Shaw, a senior, led the
Rams with four touch-
down passes and ended
the game with five total
touchdowns. Shaw’s four
scoring passes came on
just seven completions,
mostly on play-action roll-
out passes. Lawson Stud-
dard caught three passes

Forbes Jr., a Mississippi
State commit, on a 2-yard
pass on fourth-and-goal.
West Point scored its
lone touchdown of the
pass from quarterback
Brandon Harris to wide-
out Tre Ryland but failed
to convert the extra point.
Running back Dantariy-
us Cannon put the Green
Wave on the board late
in the third quarter with
a 2-yard rushing touch-
down, but West Point
couldn’t convert the PAT
once again.
That set the stage for
Orr’s interception on the
next series as time ex-
pired in the third quarter.
“He’s really steady,”
Chambless said of Orr.
“He plays hard every
game and is smart. He’s a
coach on the field.”
Grenada had a chance
to tie the game late in the
— all touchdowns — for
110 yards. Shaw’s second
touchdown pass was a
41-yarder to Studdard on
a fourth-and-12 play.
Williams said the
play-action rollout plays
have “been there all year.”
He credited running back
Bryar Kemp, who finished
with 106 rushing yards
and converted three of
CCA’s five two-point con-
versions, for helping set
up the passes.
“We do a good job of
running hard, and we got
two good receivers that
do a good job of carrying
out their fakes,” Williams
said. “Our backs do the
same thing. It’s been a big
part of what we’ve been
fourth quarter, but the
drive was halted by sacks
from Jordan Rupert and
Donte Smith.
“They figured it out.
We work on one-on-one
rush lanes every day,”
Chambless said. “Our
front guys busted through
and were able to make
some plays.”
Chambless said the
biggest defensive second
half adjustment was dou-
bling Grenada wideouts
Christian Wortham and
Forbes Jr., making sure
safety help was provided
when the Chargers tried
to attack the deep third
with Forbes Jr.
It wasn’t all roses and
sunshine, though. West
Point experienced a scary
moment with 3:30 left in
the game after Harris left
the field after suffering an
injury. Following the con-
test, Chambless wasn’t
David Miller/Special to The Dispatch
able to do offensively.”
Hebron struggled to
defend CCA’s passing
game, whether it was
keeping receivers Stud-
dard and Will Teague in
front of them or playing
the ball in the air.
“We were in position to
make the play, but Teague
is a big, tall kid and it’s a
50-50 ball, but when he’s
out there, it’s a 75-25 ball,”
said Hebron coach David
Foster. “We had a few
breakdowns, but that’s
the best coverage we’ve
had all year.”
Despite three fumbles,
one of which Hebron (2-
7, 2-2) lost, and a pick-
six conceded, the Eagles
“played its best game of

College Football: Mississippi State

Matt Bush/USA TODAY Sports

Mississippi State head coach Joe Moorhead reacts during the second quarter against LSU on Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.

Bulldog Bullets: No. 2 LSU

cruises by Mississippi State
By Garrick Hodge
ghodge@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Well, at least the
game was fun for a quarter and a half,
right?
After that, Mississippi State flat out
got pushed around by a much better
team.
The final score read No. 2 LSU 36,
MSU 13.
Not a fun point differential, but really,
did anyone expect any different?
A quick programming note for those
who are new here: Bulldog Bullets will
be a weekly recurring article filled with
short observations and commentary
written throughout Mississippi State
football games that posts shortly after
the final gun.
To the Bulldog Bullets:
n Joe Burrow is the real deal, folks.
The LSU passer is just so methodical
and precise. Tigers fans are pretty lucky
to watch this guy week in and week out.
Final stats: 25 of 32 passing, 327 yards,
four touchdowns.
n There were some flashes in the
first half, but it’s pretty amazing how
stagnant MSU’s offense is week in and
week out. LSU is great, but I mean, Van-
derbilt scored 38 points against this de-
fense.
n A very noticeable L-S-U chant
breaking out with seven minutes remain-
ing on your own home field after three
straight penalties back your offense up
to their own 1-yard line has to be one of
the most deflating feelings possible.
n MSU’s first series ended because
the Bulldogs can’t get one yard on third
and fourth down. It’s still pretty puzzling
to me how there’s no plays in MSU’s play-
book that involve the quarterback going
under center. Garrett Shrader is more
than capable of falling forward one yard.
n Making a goal-line stand three
series in a row against one of the best
offenses in the country is pretty impres-
sive, Bulldog defense.
n First quarter total yardage: MSU
65, LSU 61.
n CJ Morgan had himself a heck of a
quarter and a half in pass coverage. He
saved at least one touchdown.
n Shrader’s second-quarter touch-
down drive was surgical. He was 3 of
4 for 46 yards through the air with a
strong 12-yard touchdown run to cap it
off. Davis Wade was rocking.
n And a few seconds later, all the mo-
mentum was sapped. A defensive break-
down led to LSU’s Racey McMath catch-
ing a 60-yard touchdown with no MSU
defender within 10 yards of him.
n The play before Shrader’s intercep-
tion in the second quarter, it was pret-
ty clear pass interference should have
been called on K’Lavon Chaisson, who
was guarding Kylin Hill. Alas, that’s life.
n It seemed a little disappointing for
MSU to have the ball at its own 35 down
15 with 30 seconds left before halftime
and elect to let the clock run out. Espe-
cially considering LSU started the sec-
ond half with the ball.
n Burrow at halftime: 14 of 19, 201
yards, two touchdowns. Considering he
took quite a few hits, very impressive
stuff.
n LSU tidbit: Burrow tied the Tigers’
single-season passing touchdown re-
cord with 28 on his 37-yard touchdown
strike to Derrick Dillon in the third
quarter then broke the record by earn-
ing his 29th pass on the next series.
There’s five games left.
n Mississippi State had one of the
best Salute to Service moments I’ve
seen. A four-year veteran in a wheelchair
rolled out onto the field and later ditched
the wheelchair and walked off with his
two prosthetic legs. Not even going to
lie, my tear ducts were almost put to
good use.
n No idea what next week will look
like. You’d like to think Texas A&M is a
beatable team, but MSU hasn’t exactly
shown confidence it can beat anyone on
the road.
n A quick comment on the whole
Moorhead to Rutgers speculation that
exploded on Twitter and the Paul Fine-
baum show Friday: Even if the job would
take Moorhead closer to home, it just
doesn’t seem like a smart career move
to leave Mississippi State for arguably
the biggest mess in Power Five football.
Unless, he sees the writing on the wall
at MSU and wants to leave on his own
terms. I have no idea how long MSU
athletic director John Cohen is going
to stand behind Moorhead, but if the
Bulldogs don’t make a bowl, things
could turn ugly. The short answer here
is there’s no clear answer on what’s go-
ing to happen and the rumors will prob-
ably not cease until Moorhead issues a
flat out denial (he hasn’t done so in two
opportunities now) or Rutgers makes a
hire.

No. 1 Alabama survives Tua Robertson’s 3
injury, beats Tennessee 35-13 picks, lead
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. —
With Tua Tagovailoa hurt,
No. 1 Alabama turned to the
defense and Najee Harris to
pull out a 35-13 victory over
Tennessee Saturday night.
The Crimson Tide (7-0,
4-0 Southeastern Confer-
ence) faced its first test
of the season without last
season’s Heisman Tro-
phy runner-up against the
five-touchdown underdogs.
Both starting quarterbacks
left the game before half-
time, and the Volunteers (2-
5, 1-3) put up a fight much of
the way.
Tagovailoa, the leader of
a normally high-powered of-
fense, left with an ankle inju-
ry in the second quarter and
didn’t return to the field.
Tennessee freshman Bri-
an Maurer had also exited
with an unspecified injury,
replaced by former starter
Jarrett Guarantano.
The end result was famil-
iar: Alabama’s 13th consec-
utive win over the rival Vols.
Trevon Diggs recovered
Guarantano’s fumble on
fourth-and-goal from the 1
and raced 100 yards for a
touchdown to end the threat.
Tennessee could have cut
the deficit to a touchdown,
down 28-13.
Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt
had some angry words for
Guarantano as the quar-
terback walked toward the
sideline, pointing his finger
toward him and briefly grab-
bing at his facemask.
Harris was already deliv-
ering before Tagovailoa’s in-
jury. He wound up running
for 105 yards and two touch-
downs and adding 48 yards
on four catches. It was the
second straight 100-yard
game for a playmaker often
overshadowed by Tagov-

of Saturday’s game against Tennessee at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
ailoa and the passing game.
Alabama got a cushion
when reserve wide receiver
Slade Bolden threw a 6-yard
touchdown pass to a wide-
open Miller Forristall in the
end zone with 4:55 in the
third. Bolden did a celebra-
tory dance toward the side-
line, where he was swarmed
by teammates.
It was a needed pick-me-
up with the Vols riding mo-
mentum and having cut it to
21-13 with a field goal. The
defense then made a stop
with Terrell Lewis sacking
Guarantano on third down.
Tagovailoa finished 11-of-
12 passing for 155 yards but
also threw an interception
on first-and-goal from the 2
when he scrambled around
and forced the ball. Back-
up Mac Jones passed for 72
yards.
Takeaway
Tennessee: Came closer
to the Tide than any other
opponent this season. Had
13 penalties for 93 yards.
Guarantano was 7 of 16 for
The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com
55 yards. Maurer was 5 of
7 for 62 yards with an inter-
ception.
Alabama: Survived a
rare bad decision by Tagov-
ailoa and his injury. A young
defense delivered when it
had to. Alabama also was
heavily penalized, flagged
eight times for 93 yards.
Targeting
Tennessee middle line-
backer Daniel Bituli was
ejected for targeting in the
second quarter for a hit on
receiver Jerry Jeudy near
the goal line. The Vols were
without linebacker Henry
To’o To’o for the first half
for a targeting infraction
against Mississippi State.
Icing the kicker
When Alabama’s Joseph
Bulovas lined up for a 41-
yard field goal attempt late
in the first half, Tennessee
called time out. Then anoth-
er one, and finally a third
while Tide fans booed. The
strategy may have worked
because Bulovas’ kick went

College Football roundup

Illinois stuns No. 6 Wisconsin with last-second FG

The Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. —
James McCourt kicked
a 39-yard field goal as
time expired and Illinois
pulled off the biggest up-
set of the college football
season, knocking off No.
6 Wisconsin 24-23 on Sat-
urday.
Tony Adams picked
off a pass by Jack Coan
for the 30 1/2-point un-
derdog Illini (3-5, 1-3 Big
Ten) at midfield with 2:33
remaining. Dre Brown’s
tackle-breaking 13-yard
run got Illinois to the
Wisconsin 25, setting up
McCourt to attempt the
winner. The junior’s kick
was down the middle to
give coach Lovie Smith
the most significant victo-
ry of his four-year tenure
in Champaign.
n No. 7 Penn State 21,
No. 16 Michigan 21:
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
— Sean Clifford threw
three touchdown passes
and ran for another score
to lead Penn State.
Clifford hit KJ Hamler
on 25- and 53-yard scor-
ing strikes and hooked up
with tight end Pat Freier-
muth for a 17-yard touch-
down pass in a game Penn
State (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten)
never trailed.
n No. 15 Texas 50,
Kansas 48: AUSTIN,
Texas Cameron Dick-
er made a 33-yard field
goal as time expired and
Texas survived Kansas’
desperate upset bid after
the teams exchanged six
touchdowns in the fourth
quarter.
Kansas took a 48-47
lead on Carter Stanley’s
2-point conversion pass
to Daylon Charlot with
1:11 to play. Sam Ehlinger
then drove the Longhorns
into field goal range
for Dicker, who calmly
drilled the winner. Eh-
linger completed two big
passes to Collin Johnson
to keep the drive going
for Texas (5-2, 3-1 Big 12).
The fourth quarter
packed big play after big
play, including a 98-yard
defensive conversion
when Texas returned a
blocked extra point.
n No. 3 Clemson 45,
Louisville 10: LOU-
ISVILLE, Ky. — Trevor
Lawrence overcame two
early interceptions to
throw three touchdown
passes, Travis Etienne
ran for 192 yards and a
score and Clemson rout-
ed Louisville for its 22nd
consecutive victory.
Darien Rencher and
Chez Mellusi added rush-
ing TDs for the Tigers
(7-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast
Conference), who missed
first-quarter chances to
build a big lead when
Lawrence’s passes were
picked off twice near the
goal line. The sophomore
settled down to hit Jo-
seph Ngata and Justyn
Ross with second-quarter
touchdown passes for a
17-3 halftime lead.
Lawrence’s 10-yard TD
to Cornell Powell made it
31-3, and he finished 20 of
29 for 233 yards.
n No. 5 Oklahoma 52,
West Virginia 14:
NORMAN, Okla. — Ja-
len Hurts passed for 316
yards and three touch-
downs and rushed for
75 yards and two more
scores for Oklahoma.
Oklahoma (7-0, 4-0) is
unbeaten in eight games
against West Virginia (3-
4, 1-3) since the Moun-
taineers joined the Big
12 in 2012. The Sooners
have won 20 of their last
21 games.
n No. 9 Florida 38,
South Carolina 27: CO-
LUMBIA, S.C. — Kyle
Trask threw a career-high
four touchdown passes,
three in the fourth quar-
ter, to help Florida bounce
back from its loss at LSU.
The Gators (7-1, 4-1
Southeastern Confer-
ence) slogged through a
soggy field from Tropical
Storm Nestor for much
of the game. They rallied
past a South Carolina
(3-4, 2-3) team looking
to take down a Top 10
opponent for the second
straight week after its
20-17 double-overtime
win at Georgia. Instead,
it was Florida, off its 42-
28 defeat at LSU, that
kept making plays on the
way to its best start since
2015.
In the final period,
down 20-17, Trask faced
fourth-and-3 on South
Carolina’s 34 before
scrambling from pres-
sure to pick up the first
down with a 9-yard pass
to Kyle Pitts. Trask fol-
lowed with the go-ahead
25-yard touchdown throw
to Lamical Perine.
n No. 10 Georgia 21,
Kentucky 0: ATHENS,
Ga. — D’Andre Swift’s
39-yard touchdown run in
the third quarter snapped
a scoreless tie, and Geor-
gia overcame a slow start
to beat Kentucky.
Swift, who ran for 179
yards, added a 3-yard
touchdown run in the
fourth quarter. Brian Her-
rien ran for 60 yards, in-
cluding an 8-yard scoring
run.
Georgia (6-1, 3-1 South-
eastern Conference) re-
covered from last week’s
loss to South Carolina by
finally taking advantage
of its SEC-leading ground
game in the second half.
n No. 11 Auburn 51,
Arkansas 10: FAY-
ET TEVILLE, Ark. —
Bo Nix passed for three
touchdowns and ran for
another for Auburn.
Nix turned a close
game into a blowout by
throwing two TD pass-
es in a 22 seconds in the
third quarter. Before the
quick scores, Arkansas
had pulled within 17-3 on
Connor Limpert’s 28-yard
field goal.
Nix, a true freshman,
hit Seth Williams down
the right sideline on a 48-
yard pass with 4:19 left
in the third quarter, then
after an Auburn intercep-
tion, connected with An-
thony Schwartz on a 15-
yard scoring strike to give
the Tigers (6-1, 3-1 South-
eastern Conference)
some breathing room.
n Vanderbilt 21,
No. 22 Missouri 14:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Riley Neal came off the
bench and threw a 21-yard
touchdown to Cam John-
son with 8:57 left, and
Vanderbilt upset Missouri
with a stifling defensive
performance.
Ke’Shawn Vaughn ran
for a touchdown and also
took a screen 61 yards for
another score as Vander-

Thinking
small

Jennifer Mosbrucker/Dispatch Staff

John Weathers of Columbus is pictured outside his west Lowndes County home Thursday with a few of the dozens of bonsai trees he has in various
stages of development. Weathers took up bonsai seriously about 12 years ago after moving to Columbus from the Gulf Coast. Each tree requires years
of patient pruning, repotting and shaping.

n a society that tends to champion
“thinking big,” John Weathers has
instead found peace, patience and
enjoyment in doing just the opposite.
The Columbus man is a bonsai enthu-
siast. It should come as no surprise: He
lived in Japan for 10 years, in Yokosuka,
about 40 miles south of Tokyo. The
demands of travel and work kept him
from taking up the art of bonsai while
in the island nation so well known for it,
but he never forgot the intricate beauty
of the trees he saw there.
It would be back in the States
that the South Carolina native would
rekindle his interest, first while living
in Gulfport, where he took a couple of
bonsai classes and started a tree.
“Katrina got it,” he said mat-
ter-of-factly. But when a stepson began
attending Mississippi University for
Women in Columbus and Weathers
came for a visit, he liked what he saw. Jennifer Mosbrucker/Dispatch Staff

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: I have been
married to my husband
for 17 years. After several
years, I realized he had some
depression issues. Ten years ago,
after he was diagnosed with PTSD,
he stopped working and has been
at home ever since.
I work full time, pay the bills,
take care of the kids, run the er-
rands, drop the kids off at practice,
clean the house, everything! He
does nothing but sleep. He stays in
bed for days on end and showers
once a week. We haven’t slept in
the same room in five years. Dear Abby
I’m so lonely. I hate being
married to him, and I’m not sure
how his depression affects my kids. He takes
medicine but refuses to see a therapist. I want to
leave and have a life. I feel stuck in this marriage
out of guilt. What do I do? — HAD IT
IN KENTUCKY
DEAR HAD IT: Make an appoint-
ment for yourself with a licensed
mental health professional to
discuss your situation and your guilt.
Please do this before you have a
mental or physical breakdown from
the stress you are under.
While I sympathize with your
husband’s mental problems, the
fact that he refuses to do all he can
to fix them tells me it is time to take
care of yourself — for your children’s
sake — because you are all they
have. Because your husband’s meds
are not working, he should have
mentioned that fact years ago to the
doctor who has been prescribing them.
DEAR ABBY: For a friend’s birthday, I sent
a $150 food delivery gift card, saying to put it
toward meals when I visited for three days the
following week. He called, told me I was “cheap”
and said it was not a “gift” if it included money
that would be spent on myself.
We are new friends and have never exchanged
gifts. Please help me understand if I was inappro-
priate. — MEANT WELL IN UTAH
DEAR MEANT WELL: You made an honest mis-
take. However, what you did was less inappropri-
ate than your new friend’s ungracious response,
which was just plain insulting. On the next gift-giv-
ing occasion — if you are still friends — send him
a book on etiquette, just for him.
DEAR ABBY: I am planning a trip to visit my
friend in England. I studied abroad two years ago,
and I’m excited to go back to my old stomping
grounds and reminisce.
I got very close to this friend while I was
there, and we talk on Facebook every so often.
Obviously, because of the distance, we aren’t best
friends, but we still consider ourselves “trans-At-
lantic sisters.”
I’m on a pretty tight budget and want to start
planning for expenses. Would it be rude to ask her
if I can stay with her? Or should I just ask for sug-
gestions on places to stay and see if she offers?
— TRAVELER IN TEXAS
DEAR TRAVELER: While it wouldn’t be rude
to ask, I vote for the latter option and see if she
suggests it. (She probably will.)

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 20).
Paradoxically, by editing your rou-
tines, possessions and ambitions
down to heartfelt essentials, life gets
amplified. This is the most vibrant
you! You’ll meet a fun challenge
that’s perfect for you, and gain recog-
nition and reward. A sense of belong-
ing and harmonious relationships will
be the treasures of 2020. Leo and
Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 1, 18, 33, 27 and 41.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Take
a moment to assess whose problem
you’re worrying about. Do you have
control over the outcome? If not, it’s
not your problem. Focus on what is
most helpful, relevant and in your
jurisdiction.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Mahatma Gandhi suggested, “To give
pleasure to a single heart by a single
act is better than a thousand heads
bowing in prayer.” If this is the case,
you’ll do more today than would ten
thousand bowed heads.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
priorities are different than they’ve
been in recent times. These are just
the first signs that a larger shift is
coming. You’ll love the new you you’re
so mindfully creating.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ques-
tion authority, even your own, and
especially when you’re directing it
toward yourself. Is your inner boss us-
ing an appropriate tone? Is it helpful,
constructive and kind? Take any and
all issues up with the HR department.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In all
things, make your intentions clear
and avoid setting up expectations
you can’t or won’t want to fulfill. It’s
better to do little and promise noth-
ing than to get mixed up in something
that will make next week stressful.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A pep
talk in the mirror might seem like
overkill on an average day, but this is
no average day. Once you convince
yourself of what you have to give,
you’ll give a little something to each
person you meet.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
first rule to improving self-control
is removing temptation. To expect
yourself to dance around the very
thing you’re trying to abstain from is
somewhere between silly and cruel.
Either way, it’s ill-advised today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This
day has potential to count big-time
toward your goal. How are you moni-
toring your progress? Decide early on
so you can check in on your results
a few times during the course of this
highly productive 24-hour period.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Did you share too much? Well, it’s
done, so it doesn’t matter except in
that it might inspire new rules for the
future. Just remember that vulnerabil-
ity typically brings people together, so
chances are, you’re closer now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Seems you’ll have to break some
norms to do what you want to do.
It feels less risky when you already
have people around you who support
who you really are. It’s a good day to
ask, “Who’s on my team?”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Your superpower today is the ability
to read the room. You’ll look around
and assess what people are thinking,
feeling and wanting, and you’ll use
this information to get your best
possible outcome.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). New
and challenging circumstances have
a way of inciting unhelpful mental
chatter. This is what Buddhists call
“monkey mind.” For clarity, subdue
the noise with deep breathing while
you calmly observe the scene.

In the garden with Felder

Time to think of wintering indoors

A
utumn’s chill
reminds me
it’s time to
start doing what
I swore as a kid
I wouldn’t as a
grownup — hauling
potted plants in-
doors for the winter.
Mom had a huge
potted rubber tree,
a scraggly Norfolk
Island pine, and a Felder Rushing
treasured old bird
of paradise plant in
a weathered redwood planter,
all of which had to be dragged
in and out with the seasons.
For some reason the chore
always seemed to fall on me;
maybe she was being prescient
about my eventual love of pot-
ted plants, but back then to me
it was a childhood imposition.
But I did learn to faithfully
scoop out the fallen tree leaves, cloth to the undersides of the
old mulch and top inch or so
of potting soil, lest it harbor
hitchhiking critters that would
have wreaked havoc in the
warmth of our den. Nothing
like a half-starved
lizard or cricket
running around the
room to upset Dad’s
evening muse.
I watered
everything really
well, two or three
times a few minutes
apart, to drive out
any ants and to get
the plants set up for
the months ahead
of low humidity cre-
ated by our central
heating. This was followed by
a scoop or two of fresh mulch
to keep down the tiny fungus
gnats that feed harmlessly on
moist potting soil.
Mom showed me how to
groom the plants by gently
twisting or carefully snipping
off old, faded, broken or spot-
ted leaves and taking a damp
ones left to get rid of spider
mites and the like.
And it paid off both then and
now. This is exactly what I’ve
been doing all week, readying

my dozens of potted beauties
for their sun room winter hav-
en. I set saucers on “pot feet”
so water can evaporate un-
derneath lest it stain the tiles,
and I tier small plants so when
they get watered the excess
drips into pots of bigger plants
underneath. Huddling plants
like this also creates a shared,
naturally humid, jungle-like
microclimate which helps them
all get through a lot better.
Some of my plants are old;
I’ve had both Big Jim, my
rubber tree, and a small Sanse-
vieria (related to the common
“snake plant” or “mother-in-law
tongue”) for over 45 years now.
I have to whack them back
every now and then to keep
them in bounds. And my super
durable Chinese evergreen
(Aglaonema) and a couple of
ribbon Dracaenas only need
a few older leaves snipped off
and occasional pruning to keep
them bushy.
By the way, talk about
naughty or nice — Santa Claus
has his sights on the thief
who covertly snipped off a
big chunk of one of the rarest
plants in Mississippi. In public.
Last week at the state
flower show I entered my rare
and really bizarre “walking”
Sansevieria, a clunky spiny
creature that spreads above
ground on stilt-like root pegs.
It was awarded a blue ribbon
partly because the judges
didn’t know what else to do
with it. But when I went to re-
trieve it, someone had availed
themselves of a big piece of it.
It walked without permission.
Luckily it will sprout back out.
No idea who stole it, but Santa
does, and his kind of karma
can really bite. Just saying.
And honestly, it isn’t like I
haven’t discreetly purloined a
few seeds and “rescued” some
abandoned bulbs here and
there myself. Not proud of it,
but then again I didn’t snag a
big noticeable chunk.
Anyway, time to start drag-
ging what I have left indoors,
rather than wait to the last sec-
ond. But first I gotta relocate
the lizards.

Weathers
Continued from Page 1C
“Just look at the wave
and flow of that trunk,”
he praised, pointing to
the curving line of one
pine in particular he
looks forward to working
on.
One of his most trea-
sured trees is a Trident
maple currently dis-
played in the garden area
behind his home.
“It’s really interesting;
it’s 72 years old,” Weath-
ers said. Its provenance
can be traced back
through an Alabama
Bonsai Society member
who donated it to the
club.
To make a tree look
aged — or at least
mature — is a goal for
bonsai growers.
“You’re trying to
make it look old, through
the way you wire it, the
way you cut it and shape
it,” explained Weathers.
If well cared for,
bonsai trees can be
long-lived. A ficus bonsai
at the Crespi Bonsai Mu-
seum in Italy is reported
to be more than 1,000
years old. Several others
worldwide are thought
to be 500 to 800 years of
age, according to bon-
saiempire.com.
■■■
To would-be bonsai
growers, Weathers sug-
gests first checking out
the internet.
