Rep. Smith says additional


funds should be available
in this years bond package
BY SLIM SMITH
ssmith@cdispatch.com

State revenue is down


by $53 million from projections for the first four
months of the fiscal year,
but two local projects
which are relying on more
state funding should be
able to move forward as Smith
planned.
Last year, the state allocated $1.2 million for a proposed horse
park/agricultural center in the county
that was estimated to costs $2.5 million
to complete. The legislature also provided $2.25 million for a $25 million amphitheater/Riverwalk extension.
So, even as both projects wait for the
legislature to provide more funding, neither should have to put their plans on
hold, said Rep. Jeff Smith on Thursday.
Believe it or not, those projects
shouldnt be affected by the revenue situation, Smith said. The money for both
of those projects come from our bonding
money, not the general fund.
Smith, chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, said he will present proposals for a combined $7 million
for those two projects.
In reality, the outlook is pretty good

DID YOU HEAR?

Golden Globes to offer a galaxy


of stars, if not the Force
an audience of 19.3 million
tuning in last year.
That, though, is still
very strong for the Golden Globes, which have
worked to shed an image
of eccentric selections
made by a group of little-known
international
journalists. The Globes
have instead grown into
one of the most popular
award show broadcasts of
the year, thanks to increasingly credible nominees,
its trademark laid-back atmosphere and its unique
position as a major awards
show that honors both film
and television.
Going into Sunday
night, Todd Haynes 1950s
romance Carol leads all
nominees with five nods,
including best picture
(drama) and best actress
for both of its leads, Cate
Blanchett and Rooney
Mara. In the best picture
category, it will compete
with Spotlight, The Revenant, Room and Mad
Max: Fury Road.
Adam McKays finance
farce The Big Short tops
the comedy side with four
nominations,
including
best picture (comedy) and
nods for Steve Carell and
Christian Bale. The categorys favorite, though,
may be Ridley Scotts sci-fi
adventure The Martian.

The broadcasts are in retaliation for the Norths

Ones destiny should be defended, Pyongyang declared in a statement issued shortly after the Wednesday blast, saying it had proudly joined
the advanced ranks of nuclear weapons states.
But as a chorus of experts heaped

certain what Pyongyang exploded in
its nuclear testing site, hidden away in
a heavily wooded valley?
Maybe never.

Mississippi schools ranked


Alabama sues federal
second-to-last in national rating government over
refugee program
Its a little better in some ways. We werent at the
bottom, you can say. We were one up off the bottom.
BY JEFF AMY
The Associated Press

JACKSON An evaluation of
school performance finds that Mississippis academic achievement
gains have outstripped gains nationwide from 2003 to 2015, but gives
the states public schools a D overall, ranking them second-to-last.
The evaluation by Education
Weeks Quality Counts report
moved Mississippi up a notch from
last year, when it ranked 51st among
the states and Washington, D.C.
This year, Nevada ranked at the bottom, a little below Mississippi. The
states overall grade remained the
same, below the national average of
a C.
Its a little better in some ways,
said state Superintendent Carey
Wright. We werent at the bottom,
you can say. We were one up off the
bottom.
Despite gains on the most recent
version of the National Assessment
of Educational Progress, Mississippi still ranks last for academic

achievement. The state, though, has


outgained students nationwide in
performance on the nationwide test,
ranking 15th for gains from 2003
through 2015. Its grade in that area
inched up from an F to a D-minus.
Wright continued to tout gains
in the most recent administration of
the NAEP test. She also said she was
pleased that Education Week found
that Mississippi was closing the gap
between poorer and richer students
in reading, although the report
found the gap was widening in math.
The survey noted that few Mississippi high schoolers score a passing
grade of 3 or higher on Advanced
Placement exams that would allow
them to earn college credit. Wright
said thats one example of a problem
the state is aware of and is working
on.
Weve been proceeding in all the
areas we know we need some improvement, she said.
The state ranks third-to-last in a
measure of the life chances of a typical child, but its grade rose there

from a D-plus to a
C-minus. The state
was dragged down by
its low income and existing educational levels, which Education
Week judged to be a
handicap for students Wright
and evidence of poor
outcomes for adults.
Mississippi ranked 40th in measures of how much its spending
and how evenly spending is spread
among rich and poor districts, getting a D-plus. The state spends 3.6
percent of its taxable resources,
about the national average, on education, but because Mississippi is
poor, that comes out to spending
that is significantly below average,
even once regional cost differences
are canceled out. Property-rich districts spend more on students than
property-poor districts, although
Education Week rated spending less
unequal across districts in Mississippi than in most other places.

Chamber seeking Air Force base sign donations


DISPATCH STAFF REPORT

The Columbus Lowndes Chamber of Commerce is renewing a push


for public donations to replace an aging sign at the
Columbus Air Force Base
on Highway 45 North.
Chamber
President
Joey Bragg said the chamber has collected about
half of its $25,000 fundraising goal for the sign.
The chamber is collaborating with CAFB on the
project.

Bragg said.
December

ever yone.
We figured
we should

Bragg said the chamber is handling the fundraiser through the Create
Foundation and that donations are tax deductible.
The new sign will be 16
feet tall and 12 feet wide.
Bragg sad the measure-

ments are twice as tall and


four feet wider than the
current sign.
The sign will be illuminated by LED lights a
modern contrast to the
bulbs that Bragg says are
dim or going out in the old
sign.
Bragg said the chamber is hoping to raise the
rest of the needed funds
entirely through community donations.

Lawsuit accuses Obama


administration of failing to consult
with states on refugee placement
BY KIM CHANDLER
The Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Alabama on Thursday became the second state to sue the U.S. government over refugee resettlement, accusing the
Obama administration of failing to consult with
states on placement of those who have fled their
home countries.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court
in Birmingham, said Jennifer Ardis, spokeswoman
for Republican Gov. Robert Bentley.
Bentley is one of several governors largely
Republicans who opposed the settlement of Syrian refugees in their states after the Nov. 13 attacks
in Paris. The lawsuit does not specifically address
refugees from Syria. But it follows the lead of Texas, which sued using similar arguments last month
to try to block six Syrian refugees from settling in
Dallas.
The Alabama lawsuit filed in federal court in
Birmingham argues that the federal government
hasnt followed a portion of the Refugee Act of 1980
that says the federal government shall consult regularly with states on placement. The lawsuit says
Alabama has not gotten information it needs to assess security concerns and plan for requests for social services.
We are the one who secure the people of this
state and protect the people of this state. We need
to have the information on refugees as they come in
to allow us to do that, Bentley told The Associated
Press, adding that federal officials are disregarding
states rights.
The lawsuit asks a judge to require the federal
government to provide the entire government file
on refugees including medical information and
the basis to support Medicaid eligibility who
have been or will be settled in Alabama and to block
any future settlement until that information is given.
The federal government controls resettlement
programs, and experts have said states have no authority to bar refugees from moving to their jurisdictions.

anything else, TIFs can be abused, but armed with
information, diligence and a plan they can be a
true economic development tool worthy of consideration.
Starkville is considering a TIF as a means of
enticing Academy Sports, a big-box sporting goods
store, into the city for a project that reportedly
cant make the numbers work without public funding assistance.
Starkville has three TIFs in place that seem
to be serving the purposes for which they were
intended. The first TIF Starkville offered is at the
corner of Louisville Street and Highway 12. It was
an embarrassingly blighted shopping center that
had become an eyesore on a prominent corner of
our main thoroughfare.
It now houses, among other things, restaurants
and clothing stores and a fitness center and is a
strong contributing member of the community. By
every measure, that TIF has been a success and is
doing what was intended.
Another is the reincarnation of the old Cotton
Mill area. It, too, seems to be fulfilling its intended consequences judging by the quantity of new
development occurring along Russell Street.
Much of that area had been promising development, but it never materialized and probably
wouldnt have had the Cotton Mill project not come
along. It doesnt hurt that MSU alumni are getting
on board for a winning ride with the recent athletic
successes.
The third TIF is a new car dealership. Starkville
hasnt had a new car dealership since Templeton
Motors closed its doors. That is a retailing TIF that
should pay all the dividends necessary to justify
itself.
From its roots in California to its acceptance
in Mississippi in 1986, the TIF has been used
and abused in all 50 states. TIFs were originally
intended to push redevelopment in blighted areas
or to help development for areas that were not able
to entice projects into their communities by virtue
of their natural assets.
The question for this board is if this particular
request for development funding makes enough
sense to insure it with taxpayer dollars. Each
project should be considered on its own merits.
Does it bring new money to a community, or are
you robbing Peter to pay Paul, just moving money
around without generating new retailing options?
If you simply look at the basic elements of a TIF,
there is minimal downside. If the new development
doesnt yield more in sales and ad valorem taxes
than the land pre-development then the city is out
no money; the new developer continues to pay the
existing ad valorem taxes.
The incremental/new taxes are what is paid
back to the developer in full or in part to reimburse
for allowable development expenses. By that standard, a TIF is fundamentally a win-win proposition.
So what is the real problem? Well, in a couple of
words, human nature.
It takes at minimum two years for a TIF project
to develop and then to start showing measurable
results. Unless the mayor and aldermen have
set aside the obligated funds from the additional
revenue they receive, then when the bills come
due they have spent it on pay raises and additional
personnel and board travel and in Starkvilles case,
all of the above.
So when Link CEO Joe Max Higgins presented
the TIF proposal to the Starkville Board of Aldermen recently, he got push-back from the mayor,
who outlined what the citys current TIF obligations are and what that potentially means.
It appeared to be a logical and reasonable presentation offering a compromised TIF plan based
on what the city can afford.
What is inappropriate is that the players in this
economic development game are at a public standoff.
Contrary to appearances, The Link works for
the city and not the developer. That being said it
is Joe Maxs job to make it work if it makes fiscal
sense for Starkville. However, it is Starkvilles
fault if they are living beyond their means and the
upcoming fiscal obligations are forcing them to say
no to a worthy project.
The parties appear to have failed to communicate adequately and whether true or false that
makes both sides look incompetent and at odds
when viewed in the public eye. In the end, if we
cant play nicely in this sandbox together, then
maybe it is time to re-evaluate the reason for the
relationship.

Reader comment
The following is an edited selection of reader comments posted at the end of stories and columns published
on-line. More can be found at www.cdispatch.com.

The point is, information is out there, some of it


apparently objective. And not in agreement with the
claims made by Mr. Triplett.

swampthing2:As usual, I find some points to agree


with here (state flag), some that are thought-provoking
(funding infrastructure repair), some possibly ill-considered (guns).
Just for the heck of it, I spent a few minutes
searching for actual data on gun violence around the
world, and it did not take long to find.
It also did not take long to find that those who study
this sort of thing professionally and objectively consider much of the research available online to be bad.
This bad research includes a 1997 study by Lott and
Mustard that concluded concealed handguns are the
most cost-effective method of reducing crime which
some experts feel led to the passage of more liberal
gun possession laws in many states. The Lott & Mustard study is now widely discredited go here: https://
www.washingtonpost.com....
But since that link is to the disreputable Washington Post, you may prefer to go to an actual source,
Donohue et als 2012 research paper in the journal of
the Social Science Research Network at: http://papers.
ssrn.com/sol3/pa...
This paper, according to one professional source,
has done the best job to date of objectively re-evaluating the conclusions of many prior studies on gun
violence. ...
I found references to other papers but this was the
only one I could find that was not behind a paywall.
I havent read it yet so am just relaying what I have
heard.

Tro705: First I completely agree with Mr. Triplett


on the flag on the welcome sign. This amounted to no
more than vandalism, and its a quick way to turn the
fence sitters against you.
Yes I believe the flags days are numbered as Mississippi cannot continue to fight the entire U.S. on this.
Public opinion has turned against display of the flag
and pressure from outside will eventually be the death
of it, and then we may be able to move onto important
issues that plague this state.
School Funding As Sen. Hob Bryan is fond of saying, Money wont guarantee success, but the absence
of money will just about guarantee failure.
We will be crying when our students finally hit rock
bottom of education in this state which looks to be
coming very soon and placing the blame on parents is
not helping anybody outside of creating an excuse to
mismanage funds.
Guns: As I said in my original comment I own
many guns but when it comes to a fully armed society
then we have gone way too far. How often do these
attacks we hear about happen? What are the chances
that I will need a gun to buy some shoes at the store?
As I also said, gun owners have to understand not
everybody wants them there protecting us. So far I
havent felt the need to load up with ammo and my
favorite gun so that I wont be attacked while buying
a head of lettuce. Nor do I feel I have to be concerned
about an attack every time I go out my door.
Maybe I would feel safer if everybody in my local
store has a gun, but I doubt it.

LINK to unveil Oktibbeha industrial park plans Thursday


Development group to present details before seeking bond
intent notices from city, county boards
BY CARL SMITH
csmith@cdispatch.com

The Golden Triangle Development LINK will unveil plans


to develop a 400-acre industrial
park in Oktibbeha County to
various community stakeholders Thursday at East Mississippi Community College.
The meeting, scheduled for
10:30 a.m. at EMCCs Center for
Manufacturing Technology Excellence building, will showcase
timing and cost estimates and
the steps needed to make the
park become a reality.
In December, LINK Chief
Executive Officer Joe Max Hig-

gins confirmed various parcels


associated with the site were
under option for purchase, and
the organization has handshake
deals in place to bring 60 megawatts of power and a speculative
building to the site.
The power commitment
made by 4-County Electric Power Association is 30 times the
capacity of Cornerstone Parks
2 megawatt load. Higgins also
said the deal in place for the
spec building would construct a
75,000-square-foot facility with
the option to increase its size in
the future.
Both agreements represent

about $6 million
worth of projects
that wont be
funded by taxpay- Higgins
ers, he said.
LINK officials are expected
to approach Starkville aldermen
Jan. 19 and Oktibbeha County
supervisors Feb. 1 for individual
$7 million bond intent notices. If
approved, the $14 million would
pay for site acquisition, infrastructure installation and other
costs associated with developing the park.
Each issuance would add
about 2.5 mills to the tax rate.
Starkville residents would see

a 5-mill property tax increase


since they fall within both city
and county taxing authorities.
Both boards previously approved $10 million in combined
bonds for a 326-acre site the
Innovation District but LINK
officials abandoned the project
in March after studies indicated
the possible presence of cultural
artifacts at the location.
Clearing the site would siphon too much money from
the project and delay the parks
opening, LINK officials said last
year.
Due diligence studies at the
new location are expected once
the city and county pledge financial support for the entirety
of the project.
Before we spend $25,000$30,000, we may need to go to

(Starkville aldermen) first


because if theyre not going to
issue the intent, then we dont
have a project, Higgins said
last month. Our contract says
we have the authority to spend
$50,000 on certain costs, and
(the city and county) shall reimburse us. I can go ahead and do
it, but why spend taxpayer dollars if theres a chance theres no
support? Were better stewards
of taxpayer money than that.
Because of the indication
of cultural artifacts and the
abandonment of the Innovation
District, supervisors narrowly
avoided raising taxes in an election year. If aldermen approve
a tax increase this year, they
would do so one year before municipal elections.

People are concerned
about it even if its not in
their neighborhoods.
However, Colom spent
significantly much more
time addressing ways to
help those who commit
first-time, nonviolent offenses. He said its important for his office to
try to rehabilitate those
who want the help.
My belief is as much
as we can help someone
become a tax payer, instead of a tax burden,
thats something we need
to do, Colom said. In
reality, a lot times you
have kids who make mistakes involving drugs and
usually theyre addicted.
Instead of making them
a felon which unfortunately is a lifetime scar

and hard to bounce back


from what I think we
need to do is hold them
accountable in a way that
forces them to deal with
the addiction (and) forces
them to deal with the behavior that lead to it.
In order to do that, Colom said his office will be
more involved with the
drug court and will use
pre-trial diversion programs when possible.
Colom said his office
can use pre-trial diversions to assess the problems a first-time nonviolent offender may have
and craft a plan to address
them. The goal, he said,
is to get them back out of
the criminal justice system as a productive part
of the community.

Now am I promising
the public that there are
not going to be repeat
offenders or that everybodys going to be saved
right away? No, of course
not, Colom said. What
Im saying is as much as
possible its in everyones
interest including that
individual that we try
to rehabilitate people
without making them a
felon if theyre eligible
for that type of rehabilitation.
During a question and
answer session, Colom
said he might look at
ways to adjust how cases
are brought before grand
juries. He said its important to be sure a case goes
before a grand jury when
it is ready.

He said the DAs office


will review investigators
files before presenting
them. He said that may
help catch cases that
need additional records,
witnesses or other preparations.
I dont believe its
effective just to present
everything to the grand
jury over a five day period where theyve got a lot
going on and they may
indict a case thats not
ready, he said. Then you
have to present it to trial
and its not a good case.
The job of the district
attorney in my eyes and
ethically is to represent
the state and pursue the
truth in the administration of justice, Colom
added.

from the legislature last


year, Sanders side. The
engineers have done all of
the environmental studies
and, hopefully,well start
building in a few months.
The way we planned it
was to build the office
building first, so we can
do that without waiting
for additional funds. We
have the money for that
already.
The facility will be
built on a 21-acre site located off of Old Highway
82 and Tom Rose Road,
just west of the Tombigbee River. The land was
donated to the county by
Jimmy Graham of Grayco Co., and Al Puckett of
Brickyard Properties.
The plans for the facility include a 5,000 squarefoot office complex, which
would be home to the extension service and local
4H chapter.
We wanted to build
that first so there would
be someone out there every day to keep an eye on
things, Sanders said.
The larger part of the
project, which would require extra funding from
the legislature, is the

construction of a covered
pavilion/arena
roughly
the size of a football field
which could be used for
a variety of purposes, including livestock shows,
4-H programs and other
agricultural-related
events.
The Riverwalk project includes the building
of the Terry Brown Amphitheater and a 14-mile
pathway extension to Columbus Air Force Base
Project engineer Kevin
Stafford of Neal-Schaffer
Engineering said Thursday that the $2.25 million
appropriated last year was
dedicated toward developing a master plan for the
entire project and starting work on the amphitheater.
Right now, we have
about $1.7 million available to go toward the amphitheater, Stafford said.
The plans call for $3 million to complete that, so
as of now were short of
what would be needed to
finish the project.
Even so, Stafford said
work on the amphitheater
wont be delayed. We
are advertising bids this

month and will open the


bids on Feb. 24, Stafford
said.

Obama mocks conspiracy


at forum on gun control
The White House has
sought to portray the
NRA as possessing
a disproportionate
influence over
lawmakers
BY K ATHLEEN HENNESSEY
AND KEVIN FREKING
The Associated Press

FAIRFAX, Va.
President
Barack Obama mocked conspiracy
theorists and tore into the National
Rifle Association for pushing imaginary fiction, as he described his
plans to tighten gun control rules
as modest first steps toward tackling gun violence in America.
In a prime-time, televised town
hall meeting Thursday, Obama
fielded tough questions from
high-profile gun control opponents
and supporters alike, often answering with sympathy and without confrontation as he tried to reassure
Americans there is a middle ground
on a fiercely divisive issue.
But Obama didnt hold back
when asked by CNN moderator
Anderson Cooper about the notion
that the federal government
and Obama in particular wants
to seize all firearms as a precursor to imposing martial law. He
blamed that notion on the NRA and
like-minded groups that convince
its members that somebodys going to come grab your guns.
Yes, that is a conspiracy,

President Barack Obama, left, speaks during a CNN televised town hall
meeting hosted by Anderson Cooper, right, at George Mason University in
Fairfax, Va., Thursday.

Obama said. Im only going to be


here for another year. When would
I have started on this enterprise?
Obama defended his support for the
constitutional right to gun ownership while arguing it was consistent
with his efforts to curb mass shootings. He said the NRA refused to
acknowledge the governments responsibility to make legal products
safer, citing seatbelts and childproof medicine bottles as examples.
Taking the stage at George Mason University, Obama accused
the NRA of refusing to participate
in the town hall despite having its
headquarters nearby.
Since this is a main reason they
exist, youd think that theyd be
prepared to have a debate with the
president, Obama said.

NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said beforehand that the


group saw no reason to participate
in a public relations spectacle orchestrated by the White House.
Several NRA members were in the
audience for the event, which was
organized and hosted by CNN. And
the NRA pushed back on Twitter in
real time, noting at one point none
of the presidents orders would
have stopped any of the recent mass
shootings.
The White House has sought to
portray the NRA, the nations largest gun group, as possessing a disproportionate influence over lawmakers that has prevented new gun
laws despite polls that show broad
U.S. support for measures like universal background checks.

Authorities: Terrorism-related
arrests made in two states
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, Calif. Authorities said Thursday that two


people with ties to the Islamic State
have been arrested on terrorism-related charges in California and Texas, including a refugee from Syria
who is charged with lying to federal
investigators about his travels to the
civil war in that country.
The arrests feed a national debate over whether the United States
is doing enough to screen refugees
from Syria for terrorists from that
nation.
Court documents say the men
wanted to aid terrorist organizations affiliated with the Islamic
State group. However, one man is
accused of assisting a group that
allied with the Islamic State organization only after he had returned
to the United States. He earlier said

he wouldnt join Islamic State group


himself because it was killing fellow
Muslims.
A criminal complaint unsealed
Thursday accuses that man, Aws
Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, 23, of
Sacramento, of traveling to Syria to
fight and lying to investigators about
it. U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner
said in a statement that while Al-Jayab was potentially dangerous, there
is no indication that he planned any
attacks in the United States.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorneys
Office based in Houston, Texas,
said late Thursday that Omar Faraj
Saeed Al Hardan, 24, of Houston,
was indicted Wednesday on three
charges that he tried to provide material support to the extremists.
There is no indication from prosecutors that Al Hardan was a threat
in the United States, but his arrest
sparked immediate criticism of the

Obama administrations refugee


policies from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
This is precisely why I called for
a halt to refugees entering the U.S.
from countries substantially controlled by terrorists, Abbott said in
a statement. I once again urge the
President to halt the resettlement of
these refugees in the United States
until there is an effective vetting
process that will ensure refugees do
not compromise the safety of Americans and Texans.
Both men are Palestinians born
in Iraq, authorities said.
The complaint in federal court
in Sacramento said Al-Jayab came
to the United States from Syria as
a refugee in October 2012. While
living in Arizona and Wisconsin,
he communicated on social media
about his intent to return to Syria to
fight for terrorist organizations and
discussed his previous experience
fighting against the regime in Syria, starting shortly after he turned
16. When he was interviewed by
citizenship officials, he lied about
his travels and ties, the complaint
alleges.

Buckley will hold that role.
Savage served as the
assistant strength coach
the past two seasons. He
served as the interim
strength coach after Court

in a van to attend the game
in the Alamodome. He said
he knows Simmons is going to make the entire community proud.
I have talked to Jeffery
every day, Shorter said.
He is enjoying it and making a lot of new friends.
There also is a lot of hard
work. To be there is a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity. I
told him to make the best
of it and to embrace it because a lot of kids dont
get opportunity to go to an
event like that.

Shorter feels the experience will give Simmons


an early taste of what to
expect in college. He said
there is no doubt Simmons
will shine Saturday and
that he will continue to excel against the best players
in the nation once he gets
to college.
After recording threeand-a-half sacks and four
quarterback hurries in a
44-23 victory against St.
Stanislaus on Dec. 5 in the
Class 4A State title game
at Ole Miss Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford,
there isnt much Simmons
has left to prove. If you
know Simmons, though,
that wont stop him from
trying to dominate the
game.
It is a great way to wrap
up my high school career
and have a chance to go
out and play my best, Simmons said. I just want to go
out and give it my all and
just make plays and go out
and compete.

STARKVILLE First-year Mississippi


State mens basketball coach Ben Howland
has coached in Bud Walton Arena once.
Even though nearly 10 years has past
since Howland last coached in the building, he knows the home of the Arkansas
Razorbacks is one of the toughest places to
play in the country and in the Southeastern
Conference.
Thats the test Howland and MSU (7-6,
0-1 SEC) will face at 2:30 p.m. Saturday
(SEC Network) when they face Arkansas
(7-7, 1-1) in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
They play really well at home because
of the great atmosphere, along with being a really good team and a well coached
team, Howland said.
Howland was the mens basketball
coach at Northern Arizona in March 1997
when he took his team to Bud Walton Arena for the postseason National Invitational
Tournament. Howland and Northern Arizona lost 101-75.
Arkansas is 20-5 against MSU in Fayetteville. It leads the series 32-25. MSUs
last win in Fayetteville came in 2011 it
swept the season series under its all-time

PREP TRACK AND FIELD

SHS Woomer signs with U.S. Naval Academy


BY BEN WAIT
bwait@cdispatch.com

STARKVILLE

Emily Woomer knew what


she wanted to do at an early
age.
The Starkville High
School track and field athlete enjoyed competing
in track events when she
started in fifth grade. At
that point, she made up her
mind she wanted to compete in track and field at the
NCAA Division I level.
Ive seen her work hard
for it, said Caroline Woomer, Emilys mother and
coach at Starkville High.
We started running when
she was 10 and I saw something in her then. I just
wanted to know could she
find it, could she want it?
Because you cant want it
for your child and you cant
want it for your athletes.
On Thursday, Emily Woomer realized her
dream a reality when she
signed a National Letter of
Intent with the Naval Academy to compete in track
and field. She will enroll in
the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) in
Newport, Rhode Island, in
August and stay one year
before heading to Annapolis, Maryland, to compete
for the Midshipmen.
Coach Woomer said it
was overwhelming to realize her daughters dreams
had come true, but she
said Emily took ownership

Starkville High assistant

track and field coach Steven Griffin began to see a


different drive Emily when
she started the recruiting
process two springs ago.
He said she worked hard
the last two summers to
prepare for the high school
seasons and to compete at
the next level.
Griffin
came
to
Starkville High during Emilys freshman season and
knew immediately she had

makes the thought of being
on the same campus with
them even more exciting.
From a mothers perspective, its a point of

is, Caroline said. They
have a great education, the
coaches are very driven,
and their student athletes
have to live up to high standards.

PREP SOCCER
BY ADAM MINICHINO

Brooke Younger doesnt


know if she was in denial.
Its not that the New Hope
High School senior had lost
her love for soccer. Far from
it. Its just that Younger
wasnt sure if she was good
enough or if any college
coaches would be interested in giving her a shot to
play soccer at the next level.
Instead of fretting about it,
Younger thought her next
step was going to take her to
East Mississippi Community College in Scooba, where
she would concentrate on
her studies.
Youngers
thinking
changed one game into her
senior season.
Although she didnt
know prior to the game,
Younger
discovered
Itawamba Community College womens soccer coach
David Strother was going
to be at the season opener
against Neshoba Central
on Nov. 20 to watch one of
her teammates. After the
game, New Hope High
coach Mary Nagy introduced Younger to Strother. To Youngers surprise,
Strother invited her to visit
the schools main campus
in Fulton to see if she would
be interested in joining his
program.
It didnt take long for
Younger to realize she was
going to get the chance she
didnt envision she would get.

Itawamba Community College in Fulton.

celebrated her opportunity


by holding a signing ceremony to announce her decision to play soccer at ICC.
It was quick, Younger
said. It kind of blew my
mind that it happened that
quick, but I didnt think
twice about it, though.
Growing up, I didnt
think I was going to play
college soccer. I was doing
it to be with my friends and
to have fun. I loved it, but I
didnt think I would b able
to take the next step.
Nagy, who has watched
three other players Sydney Brocksmith (Jones
County Junior College),
Miaya Richardson (ICC),
and Madison Thrasher
(Northwest
Mississippi
C.C.) sign scholarships
this season, couldnt have

been prouder of a player


she said has been invaluable as a mother hen who
has helped lead and guide
the younger players.
No matter what I said
or what coach Will (Taylor)
said to try to convince her
she was good enough to
play, she still said, No, I am
not going to play, Nagy
said. I think she was in
denial that I cant hang. We
are our own worst critics.
We are toughest on ourselves, and I think that is
what she was.
Nagy said Strother had
his eyes on Richardson,
but she said he quickly realized Younger was another versatile player who he
could fit in as a forward or
as a defender. Nagy wasnt
surprised because she has

watched Younger play a variety of roles for the Lady


Trojans over the last few
years. Regardless of where
she has played, Nagy said
Younger has worked hard
for the team.
I think once it was confirmed I can do this, it just
kind of went from there,
Nagy said. I am tickled for
her because she needs to
keep playing.
Younger is excited about
the challenge to play at ICC.
She said the chance to play
with Richardson and former
New Hope High standout
Farris Bradley, who is now
a senior at South Pontotoc
High, will make the transition easier. Bradley played
at New Hope High as a
sophomore 2013-14. She is
scheduled to sign with ICC
this afternoon.
I have always worked
really hard, but, like I said,
I never thought I would go
to play in college, Younger
said. I would work my butt
off for New Hope soccer. I
wasnt thinking I need to
work, work, work, work so
I can have a chance to play
college soccer. I was working for coach Nagy and
coach Will. That was as far
as I was thinking about it.
I need to have the same
mind-set and work for (the
players at ICC) and be
ready for them and be the
best I can be for them so we
can have a good season.

Mercer game was played at Verizon


Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said its hard to win on the road
in college basketball in general no
matter what conference or venue.
Youve got a lot of things going
against you, Anderson said. The
way you off set that is you have a
great shooting night, have some
great players, and have a great
game that particular night.
MSU lost its only true road
games to Missouri-Kansas City
(72-67) and Florida State (90-66) in
back-to-back games in December.
MSU is coming off a 61-60 loss
to Texas A&M on Wednesday. Senior center Gavin Ware leads the
Bulldogs in scoring (17.5 points
per game) and rebounding (8.2).
The former Starkville High School
standout is the only MSU player
to score in double digits in all 13
games. He is the first Bulldog player since Erick Dampier in 1995-96

season to do that.
Freshman guard Malik Newman
is averaging 13.3 ppg., while senior
guard Craig Sword (11.7) and junior point guard I.J. Ready (10.3)
also are scoring in double figures.
Junior forward Moses Kingsley
leads Arkansas in scoring (17.1
ppg.) and rebounding (9.9). Senior
guard Anthlon Bell is averaging
16.8 ppg., and Texas Tech transfer
and junior Dusty Hannahs is averaging 15.6 ppg. Arkansas opened
SEC play Saturday with a 92-69 loss
at Texas A&M. Arkansas defeated
Vanderbilt 90-85 in overtime Tuesday at Bud Walton.
After his teams loss to Texas
A&M, Howland will look to its veterans as it attempts to make a quick
turnaround.
Along with holding a home-court
advantage, the Razorbacks play a
unique style of basketball. Former
Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson
installed an up-tempo style of play

when he took over the Arkansas


program in 1985. Anderson served
as an assistant coach under Richardson at Tulsa and Arkansas and
helped him develop his style.
Anderson, who said he has an
inexperienced team, still uses it today, but the Razorbacks are 13th in
the league in scoring defense (77.5
ppg.). Arkansas is second in the
league by scoring (83.9 ppg.).
Its hard to simulate Arkansas
defense, Howland said. No one
else in our conference plays like
that, with that trapping, pressing,
doubling. Were going to practice
real hard, but were going to have to
make plays and be aggressive offensively. When theyre trapping you,
youve got to be able to take care of
the basketball.

But when we really attacked
that press we got layups. We made
some really good decisions.
Vivians, a sophomore guard,
had 23 points and 10 rebounds
for her fifth career double-double
(first of the season). Freshman
center Teaira McCowan added 10
points and 13 rebounds (eight offensive) in 19 minutes for her fifth
double-double of the year.
The victory was especially
sweet because MSU held Auburn
(11-4, 1-1) to a season-low point total. The 45 points is the lowest total
the Tigers have had in their series
against the Bulldogs. Thursdays
game marked the third time MSU
has limited Auburn to 45 points.
Their zone press is relentless,
but, you know what, so are my
kids, Schaefer said. I just think I
have some of the toughest kids in
America. I just think we are resilient. Mo(rgan) makes a mistakes
a looks right at me and goes, That
is me. Dom(inique Dillingham)
knows. Dom is a but little more

and resilient. I am not going to battle with anybody elses, and dont
want anybody elses.
MSU (15-1, 2-0 SEC) won its
10th-straight game thanks largely
to an 18-5 second quarter in which
it attacked with sophomore point
guard Morgan William (seven
points) and junior point forward
Dominique Dillingham (seven
points, four rebounds, two assists
in 40 minutes). Dillingham also
had defensive duty against junior
guard Brandy Montgomery, the
SECs leading scorer coming in at
18.4 points per game. Montgomery was 4 of 14 from the field and
had a team-high 15 points.
A 14-1 run in the second
quarter propelled the Bulldogs.
William provided the acrobatics
with a driving hook shot in which
she absorbed contact and made

the shot and then converted the


three-point play. Vivians and Blair
Schaefer added the long-distance
marksmanship from 3-point range
while William had her longest rest
of the first half.
I didnt see the shot go in, William said. I didnt know it went in
until they came to me and started
screaming, Wow Mo.
Coach said attack and be aggressive and not to get back on our
heels. We just started attacking.
He said once you get past one, get
past another. He said we would get
easy layups once you broke a trap
and it should be a three-on-one.
When William returned with 2

the half, she helped set up another

night before a school-record
crowd of 9,500 in the first game
of the $96.5 million Pavilion at
Ole Miss.
Saiz said Kennedy told the
Rebels at halftime they needed
to help Moody when the Crimson
Tide tried to double-team him,
but that wasnt the biggest topic of
conversation.
We just got to be tougher,
Saiz said when asked what was
the point of Kennedys halftime
speech. Thats what we did in the
second half.
Moody scored 21 points to
become the first Ole Miss player
since Joe Harvell (1992) to score
20 or more points in nine-straight
games.
Moody entered as the SECs
top scorer (23.7 points per game)
and continued his hot play.
Hes just being aggressive,
Kennedy said. I always tell him,
Even though youre super athletic, theres going to be people more
athletic that can play higher than
you, but you can be the lowest
playing guy in the country. I want
him to play low, low, low. Hes unstoppable when he plays low.
Moody played low and was 13
of 16 from the free-throw line. He
was 9 of 10 in the second half.
He was the aggressor, Alabama first-year coach Avery Johnson said. Moodys a tough cover.
He split four of my guys one time
and went in there.
Saiz added 21 points and 16
rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season (seventh of his
career).
Kennedy said Saiz who entered
the game averaging 11.7 points
and 9.8 rebounds, wasnt bothered
by the pressure of playing in the
Pavilion for the first time. He said
the Madrid, Spain, native stepped
up and made hard plays. He said
Saizs effort was the difference in
the game.
Although Saiz had one of his
best nights as a Rebel, Moody
stole the show. Saiz wasnt

Coaches

surprised.
I see that in practice, Saiz
said.
Ole Miss (11-3, 1-1 SEC) capitalized on Alabamas slow start
and opened the second half on a
12-4 run. Moody and Saiz combined for six points to help the
Rebels tie the game at 44. The
Crimson Tide answered with fivestraight points, but the Rebels
used a 15-3 run to take the lead for
good at 59-52.
Moody made a 3-pointer and
four free throws, while Saiz made
a layup during the crucial run.
After Alabama cut the lead to
65-63 with 2 minutes, 59 seconds
remaining, Moody and Saiz combined for seven points in a 9-3
run to finish the game. Moody hit
five free throws and Saiz made a
layup. Rasheed Brooks made two
free throws to help claim the victory.
Tomasz Gielo, who hit a
3-pointer for the first points in the
Pavilion, finished with 12 points
for the Rebels.
Trailing 25-15, Alabama used
a 25-7 run to take the eight-point
halftime lead. Ole Miss only
forced seven turnovers in the first
half, but forced 12 in the second
half for a total of 19.
The Crimson Tide got 23
points from Retin Obasohan led
Alabama (9-4, 0-1) with 23 points.
Arthur Edwards had 17.

n Charlotte 82, Southern Mississippi 76: At


Hattiesburg, Charlotte shot 64 percent from the field in
the second half to erase a five-point halftime deficit in
ruining the C-USA home opener for Southern Miss at
Reed Green Coliseum on Thursday night.
The Golden Eagles dropped to 3-10 on the season and 0-2 in C-USA play, while the 49ers improved
to 4-10 and 1-1.
Redshirt senior Kourtlin Jackson led the Golden
Eagles with 16 points off the bench, while sophomore
Keljin Blevins and redshirt senior Michael ODonnell
each notched career highs with 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Redshirt junior Khari Price (Slidell, La.) added 12
points and a game-high seven assists.
All five Charlotte starters finished in double
figures. Jon Davis led the way with a game-high 18
points.

Terri Williams-Flournoy said. I


thought they got to the offensive
glass and got some second-chance
points.
MSU had 19 offensive rebounds and a 40-32 rebounding
edge.
MSU relied on defense in the
second half when it struggled on
offense. After Auburn started
quickly in the third quarter and cut
a 16-point halftime deficit to five,
MSU allowed only two field goals
in the next seven-plus minutes
stretching into the fourth quarter
and re-built its lead back to 52-38
on a layup by McCowan off a feed
from William. The 5-foot-5 sophomore lobbed a pass to the 6-7 McCowan, who tipped it to herself and
then used deft footwork to position
herself for the layup.
Dillingham said going against
constant pressure is something
MSU sees all of the time in practice, even if it isnt against only five
players. She said the Bulldogs will
go against six players in practice

in an attempt to simulate the defenses they will see in games.


Williams-Flournoy said credited MSUs depth for allowing it to
stay fresh against her teams pressure defense.
Thats why we do what we
do, Williams-Flournoy said. We
are going to continue to wear
teams down. We are always going to play that way. Some teams
you wear down, some teams you
dont. Mississippi State has a very
strong bench, so they had enough
people. When you get to people
that dont have a strong bench, or
a long enough bench, we can wear
those teams down.
On the other end, MSU forced
Auburn into 25 turnovers, its
third-highest total of the season.
Those miscues led to 20 points for
the Bulldogs.
Youre not going to beat
anyone turning the ball over
25 times and not getting to
the free-throw line, Williams-Flournoy said.

South Carolina holds off Vanderbilt; Florida, Arkansas pull upsets


By The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The


No. 2 South Carolina womens
basketball team is deep enough
that it can withstand a rough
night by its leading scorer.
Tiffany Mitchell, the two-time
Southeastern Conference Player
of the Year, simply stepped up
again.
Mitchell scored a season-high
22 points to help second-ranked
South Carolina hold off Vanderbilt 71-61 on Thursday night.
It boiled down to our most
experienced players making big
plays, South Carolina coach
Dawn Staley said. And (Mitchell) hasnt been our conference
player of the year the last two
years for nothing. She put us on
her back.
Aja Wilson, the Gamecocks
leading scorer and fourth in

the SEC averaging 17.1 points


per game, had a season-low
four points. Mitchell had three
3-pointers, five assists and two
steals.
Vanderbilt coach Melanie Balcomb said Mitchell was in a zone.
That was difficult, and then
I felt like we calmed her down a
little bit, then (Tina) Roy started
going off, Balcomb said.
The Gamecocks (14-0, 2-0)
won their seventh straight against
the Commodores, keeping them
just one of three undefeated Division I womens teams in the nation along with top-ranked Connecticut and No. 4 Texas. Roy had
13 points, Alaina Coates scored
11 and had 10 rebounds. Khadijah Sessions had 10.

n No. 10 Kentucky 73, Alabama 48: At Lexington, Kentucky, Back at home, Evelyn Akhator scored
a career-high 21 points to help the No. 10 Wildcats
regroup from their first loss of the season.
On Sunday, Kentucky (12-1, 1-1) lost to Auburn

66-61. They breezed past Alabama to remain undefeated (9-0) at home.


Im really proud of our team for bouncing back
from the disappointment of Sunday, Kentucky coach
Matthew Mitchell said. Im happy for them tonight.
They worked hard to get this victory. We needed this
victory very badly.
Mitchell said the Wildcats focused on defense
and rebounding, and it showed. Kentucky outrebounded the Crimson Tide 45-30 and limited them
to 30-percent shooting (17 of 56). The Wildcats also
held the Crimson Tide to 10 points in the paint.
Karyla Middlebrook led Alabama (12-3, 1-1) with
12 points and Hannah Cook added 10.
n Florida 74, No. 12 Tennessee 66: At Knoxville, Tennessee, Florida didnt have its coach all night
and was missing its leading scorer for large chunks of
Thursdays game against No. 12 Tennessee.
The Gators responded by finding a way to
change their history of frustration in this series.
Eleanna Christinaki had 18 points, eight
assists, and six rebounds to help Florida
overcome the absence of coach Amanda Butler, who
was dealing with a family emergency.
Coach Butler prepares us for adversity and we
pride ourselves on working through that, which I feel
like we did, said Carlie Needles, who added 15 points
for Florida despite briefly leaving with a leg cramp in
the fourth quarter.
Shimmy Gray-Miller, who served as Floridas

acting head coach, said Butler expects to rejoin the


team today. Butler spoke to the Gators when the team
gathered in the locker room after the game.
Shes very happy, Gray-Miller said after the
game. Shes very proud of her young ladies, and she
said, Ill see you tomorrow.
Florida (13-2, 1-1) ended an 11-game losing
streak in this series and beat the Lady Vols for the
first time since a 66-57 decision on Feb. 8, 2009.
Tennessee (10-4, 1-1) leads the all-time series 48-4.
n Arkansas 67, No. 13 Texas A&M 61: At
Fayetteville, Arkansas, Devin Cosper scored a career-high 18 points as Arkansas won for the first time
against former coach Gary Blair with a victory against
No. 13 Texas A&M.
The win is the first in six tries against Blair for the
Razorbacks (6-9, 1-1, who were coming off a 53-point
loss at No. 2 South Carolina.
Arkansas led by as many as 14 points early in
the fourth quarter before the Aggies (11-4, 1-1) twice
closed the lead to one point with less than a minute
remaining.
Jessica Jackson, who finished with 17 points,
and Cosper were perfect on free throws in the final
minute to help seal the win.
Its such a difficult challenge when you get
smoked on the road like we did last Sunday, Arkansas coach Jimmy Dykes said. ... We deserved to win
the game tonight; we were the better team.
Courtney Walker had 24 points to lead Tex-

as A&M, which had its four-game winning streak


snapped.
n No. 20 Missouri 54, Georgia 48: At Athens,
Georgia, Jordan Frericks had 11 points and a key
block with seven seconds left and No. 20 Missouri
made four free throws in the final four seconds to
defeat Georgia.
Cierra Porter had 11 points, including three of
the late free throws, as the Tigers (14-1, 1-1) bounced

Horoscopes
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Jan.
8). The spiritual growth spurt
starts now. Maybe it wont
be so comfortable, but youll
love the transformation. At
work youll sharpen your skills
and start to think bigger. You
may change your answer to
some moral, ethical and social
questions based on the new
experiences and influences of
the year. Sagittarius and Leo
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 26, 15, 20, 38 and 41.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Your style will set you apart,
even though you are probably
so immersed in it that you dont
even realize what your style
is. Relax and know youre effective without trying.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Youll get your aha! moment,
but not today. Keep doing what
youre doing. This is about the
grunt work that, unfortunately,
must be handled before the
glorious ideas can drop in.

CANDORVILLE

BABY BLUES

BEETLE BAILEY

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).


Theres quite a lot of information and misinformation zinging
around today and, because of
this, youre better not to weigh
in with too heavy an opinion.
Listen and accept what you
hear -- no judging.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You feel like reeling it
back some. Youre not being
shy, just more in control and in
touch with your inner nature.
The natural outcropping of that
is that you will consume and
express less.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
From time to time we all slip
back into the mentality of a
three-year-old fighting over a
toy. These primal instincts are
legitimate. Feel the childish
feelings, and then invite your
inner adult to keep the behavior
in check.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The time to change the topic
is when everyone in the circle

who wants to speak on it has


had a turn. Your mindfulness of
this basic common courtesy will
bring you stellar luck.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Youre pretty good at finding
the value in another person but
sometimes you keep it to yourself. Today, they need to hear
your discovery echoed back and
maybe even broadcasted to a
wider circle.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The one who touches your
heart may be unaware of your
feelings, but those quiet and
constant actions you take will
eventually become something
that cant be overlooked.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). If you know what to expect
at every step of the way, youre
no longer on a ride: Youre in a
rut. Get out of that line and go
walk around the park to choose
a new adventure.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Youre the king of cool.
Your creed: Once you lose your
temper, youve lost, period.
However, sometimes losing is
just in the cards, so dont be
too hard on yourself when the
heat rises.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). An introverted group wont
give you immediate feedback,
but if you give them time and
ask directly for a response,
youll get a good one. Stick with
the expressive types; theyll
provide fast help.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). When you cant think of
the answer, thats ok. Thinking
isnt always going to come first.
Put your feelers into the ether.
Reach for something else and
your mind will softly follow.

Meridian hunter
takes down enormous
428-pound wild boar

BASKETBALL AT THE HUMP

Hunter says it took five people to


load hog into utility vehicle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MERIDIAN A Meridian hunter has shot and


killed a 428-pound wild boar.
Larry Carman tells The Clarion-Ledger it took
two shots from his rifle to put down the wild pig
last weekend.
Carman says it took five people to load the hog
in the back of his utility vehicle, maxing out its
weight limit.
Carman says he and his friends couldnt believe
the size of the animal, which also almost maxed
out his 440-pound scale.
The boar had a set of frightening tusks, which
Carman estimates were about 3 inches, adding
that they were razor-sharp.
Officials say a single hog Carmans size could
decrease food sources for native wildlife by thousands of pounds each year. For that reason, hunters are encouraged to neutralize wild pigs, especially sows, whenever possible.

Sheriff meets with armed


group, asks them to leave
Before this thing turns into
something negative ... I think we need
to find a peaceful resolution to help
you guys get out of here
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BURNS, Ore. Three


Oregon sheriffs met with
leaders of an armed group
to try to persuade them
to end their occupation of
a federal wildlife refuge
after many local residents
made it plain thats what
they want.
But it was unclear
whether the Thursday
meeting at a snowy intersection in southeastern
Oregon would lead to an
end of the occupation by
Ammon Bundys group
any time soon.
There are some positives that could come out
of this, Harney County
Sheriff David Ward, accompanied by colleagues

from two other counties,


told Bundy and his group.
Before this thing turns
into something negative,
which would ruin all of
that, I think we need to
find a peaceful resolution
to help you guys get out of
here, Ward said.
Bundy said his group
poses a threat to no one.
He also said his demands
that federal land in Harney
County be turned over to
local residents to manage
are being ignored.
I didnt come to argue, Ward said. Bundy
said neither had he.
Ward offered to escort
Bundy and his followers
out of the refuge, which
Bundy scoffed at.
Im not afraid to go

Ward said he plans to
talk with Bundy again on
Friday.
The encounter came
as pressure mounts on
Bundy to end the occupation of headquarters of the
Malheur National Wildlife
Refuge, south of Burns.
Bundys demands are a
continuation of long-running arguments that federal policies for management
of public lands in the West
are harming ranchers and
other locals. Bundy is the
son of Cliven Bundy, a Nevada rancher who in 2014
was at the center of a tense
standoff with federal officials over grazing rights.
