A crisis of confidence
Anonymous parishioners react to fraud allegations against Starkville priest

alleges St. Joseph’s priest, Father St. Joseph parishioner
Lenin Vargas-Gutierrez, has been
operating a scheme to use more than
$30,000 in donations for his own
personal use, something the diocese
knew of for almost three years, but
never acted on.
But a pair of long-time active
members of the St. Joseph congrega- Vargas
tion say it’s more than a man, more
than money. It is not a crisis of faith, they say, but a
crisis of confidence.
The two female parishioners agreed to talk
on the condition of anonymity, sharing their own
thoughts along with those of fellow parishioners in
the aftermath of the scandal.
“Everybody is in a different place, emotionally,
I think,” said a member we will refer to as Ann. “It
depends on how much you were involved in donat-
ing. Some people gave quite a bit, others less. But
it’s been pretty tough for everybody.”
“Betsy” agreed.
“I think it was a bombshell for everybody,”
Betsy said. “Just from people I’ve talked to, some
of the people who were more involved in making
the donations may have had a little bit of an inkling
that something wasn’t quite right. But generally
speaking, I think this was a shock to everybody.”

The allegations
Vargas has been accused of purposeful
“schemes for obtaining money by means of false
and fraudulent pretense.” In the affidavit, William
G. Childers, a special agent with the U.S. De-
partment of Homeland Security, detailed several
accusations against the priest in the ongoing inves-
tigation, including that he lied about having cancer
after being diagnosed with HIV and used donated
funds for personal expenses.
The affidavit also accuses Vargas of lying to his
parishioners about collecting funds for an orphan-
age and chapel in Mexico, having instead used
those funds on personal expenses — one of which
was a recurring expense at a dating website that
caters to people who are HIV-positive.
Vargas has been relieved of his duties, but the
role of the diocese in the case is still upsetting to
church members.

Columbus operated at $881K deficit in FY 2018

CFO blames lagging tax collections,
departmental overtime; councilmen claim
they were surprised by the numbers
By Zack Plair
zplair@cdispatch.com
The city of Columbus operat-
ed at a nearly $881,000 deficit in
Fiscal Year 2018 — a fact that ap-
parently caught city councilmen
completely by surprise.
City Chief Financial Officer
Milton Rawle presented the
grim news to councilmen Tues-
day evening, asking them to
amend the previously balanced
2018 budget to reflect the deficit.
Though the fiscal year ended
Sept. 30, Rawle told The Dis-
patch certain revenues (such as
October property tax receipts)
and expenditures into Novem-
ber are applied back to the pre-
vious fiscal year, and amending
the budget was necessary to
prepare the city’s books for their
annual audit in December.
According to the revised bud-
get totals, the city brought in
$467,525 less revenue than ex-
pected in FY 2018, due primarily
to down sales and property tax
collections. Spending exceed-

Starkville Christmas parade set for Monday evening

Russell Street to close and become one-way
at 4 p.m. in preparation for floats
By Alex Holloway
aholloway@cdispatch.com
Starkville’s annual Christ-
mas parade will usher in the
“Best Christmas Ever” for the
city when it rolls downtown on
Monday evening.
Paige Watson, special events
and projects coordinator for The
Partnership, said this year’s
parade will begin at 6 p.m. and
feature more than 70 participat-
ing groups, with Mayor Lynn
Spruill as the grand marshal.
“The Starkville Christmas
parade is a longstanding tra-
dition,” Watson said. “We in-
vite all community members
and families to come enjoy the
evening with us as we kick off
Christmas season in Mississip-
pi’s College Town.”
The parade will begin on
Russell Street, turn west onto
Lampkin Street, turn north onto
Watson Prather
Montgomery Street, continue
West down Main Street, turn
south on Washington Street and
then east on Lampkin Street to
conclude.
Though the parade itself will
begin at 6 p.m., Watson said
Russell Street will close and
become one-way at 4 p.m. as
parade lining up begins near
the Cotton Crossing shopping
center.
Jennifer Prather, interim
CEO for The Partnership, said
this year’s theme is the “Best
Christmas Ever” to celebrate
Starkville’s accomplishments.
“We’re having the Best
Christmas Ever as a way to cele-
brate the recognition from Mis-
sissippi Magazine as the best
place to live in Mississippi,”
Prather said.
Watson said the parade will
also feature Santa Claus, who
will ride on the Starkville Ro-
tary Club float at the end of the
parade procession.
Prather said that’s one of the
reasons the parade is a special
event for Starkville.
“The Christmas parade is an
event we look forward to every
year because it’s a great cele-
bration of all the different peo-
ple and groups that make up our
community,” Prather said. “It’s
also a great opportunity for ev-
eryone to see Santa, sometimes
for the first time.”

Deficit

don’t know by how much.”
A ‘bogus budget’
The council can do lit-
tle to raise revenue in FY
2019, which began Oct. 1.
It did not increase the mill-
age rate for ad valorem
taxes — which city resi-
dents and businesses pay
based on the value of their
real and personal proper-
ty — in this year’s budget.
Instead, the city budgeted
revenue and expenses for
this year based on what
councilmen thought in
September were sound
2018 numbers.
“We just went through
the budget process for
2019, and this (the 2018
deficit) didn’t come up.
Maybe it should have,”
Box said. “We based this
budget on 2018, and that
ended up being a bogus
budget. … This could
turn into a real emergen-
cy if we’re not careful.”
Ward 2 Councilman
Joseph Mickens, a Demo-
crat, said he is upset and
disappointed in Rawle not
ringing alarm bells soon-
er, saying the CFO’s pre-
sentation Tuesday “was
news to me.”
Still, he said the prima-
ry responsibility lies with
the council.
“This is a council prob-
lem. We dropped the ball,”
Mickens said. “This is not
a good situation, and we
should have caught it be-
fore now.”
Rawle said he wasn’t
sure what the final rev-
enue picture would look
like until the final ad va-
lorem receipts for 2018 ar-
rived in October, a month
after the council approved
the 2019 budget.
He did see some of the
expense overages com-
ing. But while the city
can legally spend its cash
balance and reserves to
cover a deficit, he said the
initial budget each year
only projects spending
revenue the city expects
to receive that fiscal year.
“We know we’re going
to have to use our cash
balance to offset some
things,” he said.
Rawle noted the coun-
cil receives a financial
report and approves a
claims docket — an item-
ized list of city expendi-
tures — each month.
Breaking down
the numbers
On the revenue side,
the city brought in
$375,505 less than pro-
jected in ad valorem tax-
es, and sales tax receipts
were off by $104,472.
Rawle said recent loss-
es in the retail sector,
headlined by JCPenney
closing at Leigh Mall, hit
city tax collections hard.
And more bad news is on
the horizon, as Kmart also
is slated to close soon.
Beyond that, Rawle
said, people are leaving
the city, which is indicated
most by the $44,000 drop
in vehicle tag fees (part of
the ad valorem revenue)
collected last fiscal year.
Most of the expense
discrepancies, Rawle re-
ported, were chalked up
to excess overtime in the
police, fire and public
works departments, as
well as $200,000 the city
expected to receive from
Lowndes County for the
parks department that
never came.
The police department
exceeded its personnel
expense budget by about
$279,000. Of that, Rawle
said, $218,000 was excess
overtime. As one example
of what caused that over-
time, he pointed to the
increased police presence
needed downtown after
the Thanksgiving 2017
shooting outside Trotter
Convention Center.
“You can’t prepare for
some things,” Rawle said.
“You just have to react.

Mississippi will seek to revive

law on 15-week abortion ban
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi’s attorney
general said Friday that he will appeal a
federal judge’s ruling that struck down
one of the most restrictive abortion laws
in the United States.
U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves
ruled Tuesday that a Mississippi law ban-
ning most abortions after 15 weeks “un-
equivocally” violates women’s constitu-
tional rights.
The state’s Democratic attorney gen-
eral, Jim Hood, said Friday that other fed-
eral circuits have reviewed laws banning
abortion at 15 to 20 weeks, but the 5th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet
reviewed such a case.
“Because there is no controlling deci-
sion from our Fifth Circuit, it is our duty
to appeal this ruling,” Hood said in a state-
ment.
The 5th Circuit handles cases from
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. It is
generally considered one of the most con-
servative federal appellate courts.
The only abortion clinic in Mississippi
says it provides abortions until 16 weeks,
and it sued when Republican Gov. Phil
Bryant signed the 15-week ban on March
19. Reeves issued a temporary restraining
order the next day to keep the state from
enforcing the law.
Bryant indicated Wednesday that he
was interested in an appeal of Reeves’ rul-
ing. As attorney general, Hood is in charge
of deciding whether the state will appeal.
Hood has already announced he’s
running for governor in 2019, when a
term-limited Bryant may not seek re-elec-
tion.
The Mississippi law and the respond-
ing lawsuit set up a confrontation sought
by abortion opponents, who are hoping
federal courts will ultimately prohibit
abortions before a fetus is viable outside
the womb, the dividing line that the U.S.
Supreme Court set in its 1973 ruling say-
ing that women have the right to termi-
nate pregnancies.

HOOVER, Ala. — Police in Alabama on Satur-

The incident began with a fight and shooting
in suburban Birmingham at the Riverchase Gal-

12-year-old bystander was shot in the back.
An officer responding to the scene then shot

and all those
who made donations or vol-
unteered during this year’s
annual Thanksgiving Turkey
Drive, which provided holiday
meals with all the trimming
for the less fortunate residents
of our community. For three
weeks prior to Thanksgiving,
residents dropped off turkeys as
donations, which were cooked
over a three-day period prior to
the holiday. On Thanksgiving
morning, some 200 volunteers
took time off from their own
holiday to help arrange and dis-
tribute the meals to about 1,700
residents. It’s hard to imagine
a more fitting way to express
thankfulness than by sharing
with others.

whose lack of
restraint marred an otherwise
spirited rivalry Egg Bowl game
on Thanksgiving evening in
Oxford. At the end of the third
quarter and, again after the
game had ended, players from
both teams traded blows and
briefly brawled, again casting
the rivalry and the universities
the players represent in a poor
light. While Mississippi State
dominated the game on the
field, winning 35-3, the focus
unfortunately shifted from the
field to the sidelines as tempers
flared and players from both
teams failed to maintain their
composure. It was a black eye
for all involved. We applaud the
passion players from both teams
display in the game. But those
passions must be confined to
the field of play. Anything be-
yond that discredits the wonder-
ful old rivalry.

of The Salvation Army’s two
biggest annual projects. This
year, the Columbus Salvation
Army hopes to raise $80,000
from its annual Red Kettle
campaign while Starkville’s
Salvation Army has set a goal
of $56,000. The success in
meeting those goals relies not
only on the charity of those who
drop money into the kettles,
but by volunteers who man the
kettles. Meanwhile, more than
200 children will benefit from
the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree
program in the two cities. Each
year, the names of children who
are in need are placed on an
“angel” decoration on the trees.
Participants take the name of
the child and provide Christmas
gifts tailored to each child’s
wishes. Both programs help
make sure that the good work
of the Salvation Army continues
on Christmas and throughout
the year. We encourage you to
volunteer or donate to these
programs.
A rose to all
those who will
continue to per-
form their civic
duty by turning
out to vote in
Tuesday’s runoff elections. After
an excellent turnout during the
Nov. 6 general election, we hope
that voters will be encouraged
to turn out yet again during the
runoffs, which will decide who
represents the state in a U.S.
Senate race and, depending on
where you live, who will serve in
the important role of chancery
judge. We encourage all regis-
tered voters to take the time to
vote. See you at the polls!

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Tua
Tagovailoa came out of halftime fir-
ing touchdown strikes down the field,
and the result was another runaway
Alabama victory.
Tagovailoa threw five touchdown
passes, ran for a score and could
scarcely miss in the second half to
lead the top-ranked Crimson Tide to
a 52-21 victory against rival Auburn
on Saturday.
“We executed on all cylinders on
offense coming into that opening
drive in the second half, so it’s really
good,” he said.
Tagovailoa and the Crimson Tide
(12-0, 8-0 Southeastern Conference,
No. 1 College Football Playoff) took
over with an explosive third quarter,
when the Heisman Trophy contender
threw three long touchdown passes.
He’s the first Alabama player to have

As of press time Sunday, the SEC
office hadn’t announced any dis-
cipline to players or to the teams.
Even if MSU enters its bowl game
short-handed, the Bulldogs think
they will be OK based in large part
off the play of the secondary in the
Egg Bowl.
Few embody that belief better
than Smitherman.
“(Smitherman)’s not starting,
and that shows what our depth is,”
defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons
said.
Smitherman has played behind

Now, Alabama heads to the SEC

Georgia with a guaranteed playoff
spot on the line.
With Alabama leading Auburn (7-

SEC blowout. He was 11-for-12 for
208 yards and four touchdowns in the
second half, despite only finishing off
one series in the fourth quarter.
Tagovailoa finished 25-for-32 for

STARKVILLE — Don’t put it past Jordan
Danberry to attempt a trick shot.
If you have seen the Mississippi State
senior play, you know the
5-foot-8 guard has a nasty handle
and ankle-breaking quickness
she can use to become a whirling

her to play well above her size.

she is just as dangerous off one Danberry

STARKVILLE — Bre’Amber’s bloody left eye
and the black and blue under it have healed nicely.
The Mississippi State sophomore doesn’t
intend to stop playing
aggressively.Afterall,MSUcoachVic
Schaefer said he recruited the former
Central High School (Ark.) standout
to follow in the footsteps of former
Bulldogs Dominique Dillingham,
who earned the reputation of being
a defensive stopper.
Scott continues to hustle and Scott
make plays on that end of the
court, but she is slowly becoming a bigger offen-
sive presence for the Bulldogs.
On Saturday, Scott scored a career-high 14
points and was one of five players in double fig-

son State before a crowd of 6,953 at Humphrey

Bearcats outlast
Rebels for title at
Florida tournament
From Special Reports
NICEVILLE, Fla. — Jarron Cumberland
scored 25 points to lead the Cincinnati men’s bas-
ketball team to a 71-57 victory against Ole Miss
in the championship game of the Emerald Coast
Classic.
It was a reversal of fortune for the
Bearcats, who lost the 2014
title game to the Rebels in the Cincinnati 71,
tournament’s first year. Ole Miss 57
Cincinnati (5-1)
squandered a 13-point first
half lead but roared back in the second half.
Cumberland, who was named the tourna-
ment’s outstanding player, was 13-for-14 from the
free-throw line — setting tournament records
for foul shots made and attempted. He was 5-for-
17 from the field.
Cincinnati took a chapter out of Ole Miss’
playbook, holding the Rebels to a season low in
point production — 22.8 points under their offen-
sive average of 79.8 points entering the game.
Ole Miss came into the game, averaging eight
3-pointers but was held to a season low three in
24 attempts — a 14.3-percent effort.
“We didn’t get off to a great start,” Ole Miss
coach Kermit Davis said. “I thought they were a
lot more physical than we were. They moved the
ball, we didn’t move the ball. We just got beat by
a better team tonight.”
Devontae Shuler led Ole Miss (3-2) with a ca-
reer-high 24 points. Breein Tyree added 14. Shul-
er and Tyree were named to the all-tournament
team.
Keith Williams broke a 7-7 tie with a 3-pointer
that launched a 12-2 run and gave Cincinnati a 10
point lead at 19-9. The Bearcats pushed the lead
to 13 and maintained a double-digit advantage
until the last three minutes of the half. Ole Miss
went on a 9-2 run to narrow the gap to 37-33 at
halftime.

The most revealing moment on
the front nine happened after Woods
missed a 4-foot, short par putt on the
second hole to give Mickelson an early
advantage.
“I was half a second from giving
him that putt because he always makes
those,” Mickelson said to his brother,
Tim, who was his caddie.
Mickelson was 1 up through the
front nine before Woods seized the
lead with birdies on the par-4 11th and
12th holes. Mickelson then squared it
with a birdie on the par-3 13th and re-
took the lead when Woods bogeyed the
par-4 15th.

Paid Obituary - Skelton Funeral Home
Bradley G. McMillen
Bradley Garner McMillen was born on De-
cember 1, 1971, in Columbus, MS. He left this
world to join his Heavenly Father on November
4, 2018.
Visitation will be Saturday, December 1, 2018
at 1:00 PM at Memorial Gunter Peel Funeral
Home & Crematory, 2nd Avenue North location.
A memorial service, with Rev. Anne Russell
Bradley officiating, will follow at 2:00 PM in the
chapel of Memorial Gunter Peel Funeral Home.
He leaves behind a large extended family and
many loving friends. He is survived by his son,
Bradley Hunter McMillen of Columbus, MS and
recent transplant to Brevard, NC; his parents,
Bobby and LaNelle McMillen of Columbus; his
brother-in-law and sister, Bill and Lynne McMil-
len Rosamond of Columbus; brother-in-law and
sister, Clay and Lisa McMillen Sykes of Brevard,
NC; his brother, Robert McMillen of Dallas, TX;
nieces and nephews, Rachel McMillen Gott and
her husband, Daniel of Nashville, TN, Morgan
Sykes of New York, NY, Jordan Sykes of Boze-
man, MT, Jacob Sykes of Brevard, NC and Julia
Rosamond of Columbus, MS.
Brad graduated with a Bachelor of Arts de-
gree in English from Mississippi State Univer-
sity. He worked in the building supply industry
in Columbus before relocating to Brevard, NC in
2012, where he ran the family farm raising Red
Angus cattle. While maintaining his connection
to the farm, he most recently worked at Renais-
sance Glass in Ashville, NC, where he was valued
for his commitment to both the job itself and also
to his co-workers.
Brad loved bass fishing, reading good books,
riding mountain bikes, eating good meals with
family and watching his beloved Mississippi
State Bulldogs. More than anything though, the
light of Brad’s life was the love he had for his son,
Hunter. Perhaps, what he enjoyed the most was
witnessing the first rays of sunlight rise over the
mountain and illuminate his Red Angus cows out
on the family farm. He always helped others, was
a man of action – never sitting still but always in
constant motion engaged in some productive ac-
tivity (often for other people). Brad never asked
anything of those around him. Brad was a deep
thinker; a loving, gentle and kind man. He will be
missed more than words can express.
Memorials may be made to The Last House on

Disappearing act 19). There is nothing to hurry

By FRANK STEWART
Tribune Content Agency
Unlucky Louie told me that he and
his wife had attended an orchestral
concert the previous evening.
“It was the Bermuda Philharmonic,”
Louie said, “and the performance was
weird. They were halfway through a
piece by Stravinsky, and the triangle
player disappeared!”
When I watched today’s deal in a
penny game at the club, Louie was
declarer at six hearts. The bidding
was mysterious. Louie’s opening bid
of four hearts wouldn’t have occurred
to me; I would have opened with a
pedestrian one heart. North’s raise to
slam was a wild shot with Louie as
South — he seldom takes 12 tricks
— but would have been so even with
someone luckier.
West led a diamond, and Louie
won with the ace and let the queen of
trumps ride. He next led a trump to
the ace, but East discarded a spade.
Louie returned a diamond to his king,
conceded a trump to West, won the
next diamond and ran his trumps.
West threw spades, keeping his K-10
of clubs, and won the 13th trick.
“I couldn’t avoid my club loser,”
Louie shrugged.
If you were declarer, could you
make that loser disappear?
After Louie wins the first trick,
he should take the ace of spades and
ruff a spade. If either defender held

of Erin Kempker’s first
book Wednesday, Nov.
28 at 4:30 p.m. in Fant
Memorial Library on the
campus of The W.
Kempker, department
chair and professor of
history, will discuss and
read from “Big Sister:
Feminism, Conserva-
tism, and Conspiracy in
the Heartland,” followed
by a question and answer
session. She will be avail-
able for signing books.
“I am very pleased to
have this book published
as part of the Women
and Gender Studies
Series of the University
of Illinois Press and to
see the book in print,”
said Kempker. “For me,
the book took 10 years,
in addition to the three
years I worked on it as a
dissertation. The re-
search and writing work
of this book, I did alone
and in isolation, which is
the way of historians, so
finally getting to share it
with a wider audience is
very exciting.”
“Big Sister” describes
the activism of conserva-
tive and feminist women
in the late 20th century
and explores how con-
spiracy belief shaped the

“The central theme
of the book is that right

standing of one-worldism
— a conspiracy theory
refined by grassroots
anticommunists during
the height of the Cold
War — shaped conserva-
tive women’s response to
the second wave feminist
movement and circum-
scribed feminist activ-
ism,” said the author.
“The book directly
connects to the politi-
cal reality of today by
exploring the history and
significance of conspir-
acy theory in shaping
political viewpoints. The

Gardeners as well as

dual purpose the Christ-

provides. This popular
European holiday plant
is gaining popularity in
holiday celebrations in
the U.S. Recipients will

frost has passed, it can be
moved outdoors into a full

‘Christmas Belles’
Continued from Page 1C

Ashley Gressett, as the character Frankie Futrelle, talks
with her stage husband, Dub, portrayed by Eric Chase
in “Christmas Belles.”

like this before,” said ing this time of year —

Carter. “If someone had
asked me a couple of
years ago, I’d have looked
at them and laughed. I’ve
had kind of a stage fright
thing, but since I’ve been
working at Express, I’ve
gotten more used to be-
ing in front of and talking
to people, so I thought,
why not?”
He describes his
character, Raynerd
Chisum, as being similar
to the Linus character in
“Peanuts.”
“Maybe a little slow,
but he’s really a sweet
dude, a super nice guy —
and he loves Christmas.
Everything he does is
well-intended, but events
don’t always turn out so
well.”
That may be putting it
mildly when it comes to
Fayro, where Honey Raye
Futrelle wants to polish
up the family name by
putting on the best-ever
Christmas pageant. Oust-
ed pageant director Miss
Geneva (Cherri Golden)
is ruthless in her at-
tempts to regain control
of the show, and when
the pageant cast starts
dropping like flies with a
stomach bug and Frankie
lets slip a family secret
that’s been guarded for
decades, Honey Raye’s
hopes seem to be falling
apart. But in Futrelle
fashion, the sisters find
a way to pull it together
and put on a program no
one in Fayro will ever
forget.
Gresset said, “There’s
always so much happen-
choir concerts, nativities
— but this is a different
kind of entertainment,
good for the whole fam-
ily, but also a cool date
night.”
■■■
Any theatrical produc-
tion is a testament to the
commitment of its cast
and crew, but getting a
play ready for public con-
sumption in the middle
of the holidays can be
daunting.
“The biggest chal-
lenge with this was
having Thanksgiving
coming in the middle of
the rehearsal schedule,”
said Tubbs, who holds
bachelor’s degrees in so-
cial work and in commu-
nications, with an empha-
sis in theater. She also
has a master’s degree in
social work. She taught
homeschool theater for
many years and has acted
in and directed numerous
area productions.
“We were determined
to have it all prepared
before Thanksgiving
break,” she said. “I
pushed hard, and we met
those deadlines to be able
to have this production in
the holiday season.”
Rewards are satisfy-
ing.
“There’s nothing like
starting with a group
of people and making a
piece of written literature
