The City of Columbus is re-
newing its partnership with the
Golden Triangle Development
LINK, but it won’t be under the
same conditions as before.
In August 2018, the city
council voted to end a 10-year
association with the LINK and
contracted with Tupelo-based
The Retail Coach a month later
to take over retail recruitment
for the city.
During Tuesday’s city coun-
cil meeting, the council made
official two moves it had made
as part of its budget process —
notifying The Retail Coach it
would not renew its contract for
an additional year when it ex-
pires on Oct. 15 and approving
$100,000 for the LINK as a part
of its appropriations budget for
FY2020.
“We are pleased to see the
city and county working togeth-
er on economic development,”
said LINK CEO Joe Max Hig-
gins in a statement. “We will not
be replacing the retail services
port for retail
projects as well
as workforce
development ,
existing busi- Higgins
ness expansion and retention,
new business attraction and
development, and research and
planning services as outlined
in our services contract with
Lowndes County.”
The two moves made by the
city council means there will
be no entity responsible for re-
cruiting retail to the city.
Prior to last year, the LINK
had acted in that role.

“Now that we represent
three counties and our staff is
changing, we do not have the
manpower to address retail that
way,” LINK Chief Operations
Officer Macaulay Whitaker
said.
Ward 5 Councilman Stephen
Jones said the decision to dis-
pense with retail recruiting was
strategic.
“That’s not really how you
(developer) Mark Castleberry
has done here. That didn’t hap-
pen because we went out and
recruited him.
“I voted against leaving the
LINK last year because I felt
like they still could do a lot for
us,” he added. “So even though
they may not be going out look-
ing for retail, they still have a
big role in making it happen.
I’m happy we’re back with the
LINK.”
Ward 6 Councilman Bill
Gavin said the last year had
convinced him the city needed
to rethink its approach.

VanCourt said.
“Generation Z stu-
dents are consuming and
distributing information
differently, so if we have
teachers that are just used
to email, pencil and pa-
per, they’re not going to
be as plugged in with the
students and their needs
as they would have in the
past,” he said.
The technology gap be-
tween students and teach-
ers is constantly chang-
ing, Chapman said.
“Students are coming
in with new ideas and
things that they’re learn-
ing all the time,” he said.
“We do have a group of
young teachers who are
aware of a lot of the tech-
nology, but the seasoned
teachers (might need
help) getting that under-
standing of how it can be
used for instructional pur-
poses.”

Some West Point High
School teachers have used
learning management sys-

The West Point
Consolidated School
District will evaluate
CampusKnot throughout
the school year and decide
if it will continue using it,
Welch said.
CHS teachers have
been through one day of
CampusKnot training but
will need more in order
to decide if they want to
adopt the program or stick
with Schoology, since the
two are so similar, Chap-
man said. Teachers need
to be sure that CampusK-
not will work for them in
ways Schoology does not
and that it won’t be a set-
back to their instructing
capacity, he said.
Schoology puts all of
a classroom’s digital re-
sources in one place and
allows teachers to commu-
nicate with both students
and parents, he said.
“It’s a great teaching
tool for us to have,” Chap-
man said.
CampusKnot always
had the goal of expanding
into high schools, and it is
simultaneously increasing
its presence in colleges,
including MSU, VanCourt
said. It has worked with

“It’s hard to pinpoint
their rate of growth at an
institutional level, but by
word of mouth, I’ve heard
that they are actively
growing and expanding,”
Hill said.
MSU Assistant Profes-
sor of Management Ben-

using CampusKnot in his

lecture for two years.
Like Frazier, he said the
poll function is useful
for engaging students in
the course material. He
also uses CampusKnot to
take attendance during
class as an incentive for
students not to leave the
lecture hall early, and the
program’s social media
discussion and calendar
functions are also handy,
he said.
“I’ve gotten a lot out of

Our View

Showing up is a large part of the job

On Tuesday, the Starkville
Board of Aldermen passed its
2020 budget... eventually.
Unable to establish a
quorum at the scheduled
5:30 meeting which was
called when aldermen could
not reach an agreement on
adopting a budget with a 1.5
mill increase, just three of the
city’s seven aldermen showed
up on time.
Ward 3 Alderman David
Little, who was returning
from a trip abroad, had a
flight delay. Ward 7 aldermen
Henry Vaughn said he was ill
and could not attend. Ward 1
alderman Ben Carver said he
chose not to attend because
he believe the decision should
be made by the full board.
Vice Mayor and Ward 6 alder-
man Roy A. Perkins offered no
explanation for his absence.
With at least one more
aldermen needed to establish
a quorum, Mayor Lynn Spruill
rescheduled the meeting for
9 p.m., allowing Little time to
get back to town. Carver also
attended the 9 p.m. meeting
and the budget, and the tax
increase passed by a 3-2 vote,
with Ward 2 alderman Sandra
Sistrunk, Ward 4 alderman
Jason Walker and 5 alderman
Hamp Beatty providing the
deciding “yes” votes.
Ultimately, the city was
able to conduct its business,
but the way it arrived at the
conclusion is disheartening.
Board members have an
obligation to attend meetings
and cast votes. In fact, they
are paid to perform those
roles. But it goes beyond that,
board members represent
the people in their neighbor-
hoods, and when they are not
present and participating,
those residents do not have a
voice in the decisions that are
made.
We understand that there
are sometimes circumstanc-
es that may prevent a board
member for attending a meet-
ing. But those should be rare,
especially when something so
important as a tax increase is
on the table.
When faced with a difficult,
perhaps unpopular decision,
board members have three
legitimate options. They can
vote yes or no or they can
abstain. They are given the
opportunity to explain why
they are choosing from among
those options.
Simply not showing up
shouldn’t be an option. It only
serves to break faith with
their constituents.
Citizens have an expecta-
tion that the people they select
for these positions fulfill that
obligation.
There can and will be
disagreement on the merits of
issues brought before these
boards. But there should be
no disagreement about wheth-
er or not a board member
should show up and accept the
responsibility entrusted into
them.
Whether it’s an elected po-
sition or a board appointment,
those who choose to serve
need to embrace the commit-
ment that accompanies that
role.

Letter to editor Cartoonist view

Voice of the people
Disappointed in published column
Daniel Gardner’s opinion piece in
Monday’s Dispatch is a heaping helping
of nonsense. And there is absolutely
nothing wrong with that. It’s clearly
labeled as opinion, the views expressed
seem to be heartfelt, and he of course
has every right to say whatever he
wants. I do, however, question the
Dispatch’s decision to print and pos-
sibly pay for this inane rant. You see,
real opinion writing, of which you offer
fine examples from across the political
spectrum, can do so much better than
simply spouting the author’s views on
several unrelated subjects. It should
always focus on the subject at hand, for
one. At its best, opinion writing is not so
much about the author mouthing off, but
about trying to open the reader’s mind
to previously overlooked aspects of an
issue. About trying to steer the reader
to a better understanding of the subject,
so that the reader, eventually, might end
up with the same opinion as the writer.
Not because the loudest voice told them
to, but because they were shown how it
makes more sense.
Good opinion writers use two things
to accomplish this task: facts and logic.
Both are unfortunately completely
absent from Daniel Gardner’s piece. You
could find a more in-depth, fact-based
analysis of today’s issues in most bars or
barbershops. I wish the Dispatch much
better luck in choosing contributors to
the opinion page in the future.

Lt. governor candidates
should show courage
on flag issue
Delbert Hosemann and Jay Hughes
are both fine candidates to be Mississip-
pi’s next lieutenant governor.
Despite the growing testiness of their
race, they actually have some things in
common, such as bringing greater trans-
parency to the Legislature and putting
heavier emphasis on vocational training
in the high schools.
Unfortunately, another stance they
share in common is chickening out on
replacing the racially divisive state flag.
Both say, if elected, they would only con-
sider dropping the flag and its Confed-
erate emblem if the question were put to
the people in a referendum.
More than likely, that means no
change.
If Mississippi is going to adopt a new,
unifying flag, it will take courage in the
Legislature to vote the change through,
and not pawn it off to a popular vote. A
test of leadership is to do what you know
is best for the public good, especially
when the majority of the public is not yet
able to recognize it.
It’s disappointing that neither Hose-
mann nor Hughes is willing to show
leadership on this point.

Trump names hostage envoy

O’Brien national security adviser
O’Brien: Administration’s focus will continue to be
on keeping the U.S. safe and rebuilding the military
By ERIC TUCKER, DEB RIECHMANN
and DARLENE SUPERVILLE
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President
Donald Trump on Wednesday
named Robert O’Brien, his chief
hostage negotiator and an estab-
lished figure in Republican policy
circles, as his new national security
adviser.
O’Brien, the fourth person in two
years to hold the job, becomes the
administration’s point person on na-
tional security amid rising tensions
with Iran following the weekend
attack on Saudi oil installations and
fresh uncertainty in Afghanistan
after the halt in peace talks with the
Taliban.
The announcement of O’Brien’s
selection comes a week after
Trump ousted John Bolton from the
post, citing policy disagreements.
O’Brien, who made headlines in
July when he was dispatched to
Sweden to monitor the assault trial
of American rapper A$AP Rocky,
was among five candidates Trump
said Tuesday were under consider-
ation.
“He’s worked with me for quite
awhile now on hostages, and we
have a tremendous track record on
hostages,” Trump said Wednesday
on a tarmac in Los Angeles, hours
after revealing the pick on Twit-
ter. “Robert has been fantastic. We
know each other well.”
O’Brien, standing alongside
Trump, said it was a “privilege” to
be picked.
“We’ve had tremendous foreign
policy successes under President
Trump’s leadership. I expect those
to continue. We’ve got a number of
challenges,” he added. O’Brien said
the administration’s focus will con-
tinue to be on keeping the U.S. safe
and rebuilding the military. He said
he would advise Trump privately on
the situation in Saudi Arabia.

Trump bars California from setting stricter fuel standards

President said his action would result
in less expensive, safer cars
By MICHAEL BIESECKER
and ADAM BEAM
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON —
President Donald Trump
announced Wednesday
that his administration is
revoking California’s au-
thority to set auto mileage
standards stricter than
those issued by federal
regulators, a move critics
said would result in less
fuel-efficient cars that cre-
ate more planet-warming
pollution.
In a tweet, Trump said
his action would result in
less expensive, safer cars.
He also predicted Ameri-
cans would purchase more
new cars, which would re-
sult in cleaner air as older
models are taken off the
roads.
“Many more cars will
be produced under the
new and uniform standard,
meaning significantly
more JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!
Automakers should seize
this opportunity because
without this alternative to
California, you will be out
of business,” Trump tweet-
ed.
U.S. automakers con-
tend that without year-
over-year increases in fuel
efficiency that align with
global market realities
their vehicles could be less
competitive, potentially re-
sulting in job losses. How-
ever, most of the industry
favors increases in stan-
dards that are less than the
Obama-era requirements,
saying their consumers
are gravitating to SUVs
and trucks rather than
buying more efficient cars.
Top California officials
and environmental groups
pledged legal action on
Wednesday to stop the roll-
back, potentially tying up
the issue for years in feder-
al courts.

W.Va. sues over pelvic mesh

implant after sales halted in US
Washington, California, Kentucky
and Mississippi have also filed similar
suits against Johnson & Johnson
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON,
W.Va. — West Virginia on
Wednesday sued Johnson
& Johnson over its market-
ing of a surgical mesh used
to treat pelvic conditions
in women after regulators
halted sales of the device
in the U.S.
The state’s attorney
general, Patrick Morrisey,
filed a consumer protection
case against the company
in Monongalia County, say-
ing it misrepresented the
risks and effectiveness of
the medical implant. Wash-
ington, California, Ken-
tucky and Mississippi have
filed similar suits against
Johnson & Johnson.
The federal Food and
Drug Administration
stopped sales of the mesh
cdispatch.com
in April after years of inju-
ry reports as well as tens
of thousands of lawsuits
from women who said they
had bleeding, pain and in-
fection from the devices.
Several major manufactur-
ers of the mesh, including
Johnson & Johnson, had
previously stopped making
the implants.
The suit in West Vir-
ginia accuses Johnson &
Johnson and its subsidiar-
ies of pumping out mis-
leading information about
the mesh, sometimes us-
ing studies written by paid
consultants. It is seeking
civil penalties.
“Misrepresenting any
product’s safety is unlaw-
ful and can have dire ef-
fects on consumers,” Mor-
risey said.

Kylin Hill has been one of the better running backs in the SEC, but behind the oft-injured back, Mississippi State has lacked depth at the position so far this season.
Depleted running backs room is cause for concern
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — As
Malik Dear trotted out
into the Mississippi State
backfield during Satur-
day’s 31-24 loss to Kansas
State, the larger message
was clear — MSU has a
running backs problem.
A tailback by trade at
Murrah High School in

plenty of handoffs, but
those opportunities have
been limited in his time

Facing a formidable West Point team, EMCC finding its groove ahead
Noxubee County is feeling optimistic of matchup with winless Delta
By Theo DeRosa

MACON — Where will
Friday night’s game be-
tween Noxubee County
and West Point ultimately
be decided?
Just ask the home
team.
“It’s gonna be won in
the trenches, most like-
ly,” Noxubee County se-
nior quarterback Marlon
Windham said.
“It’s gonna be won in
the trenches,” junior run-
ning back Damien Verdell
said.
Yes, there’s plenty of
agreement among the 3-1
Tigers, and it starts at the
top.
“If we can win in the
trenches, I think we’re
gonna have a big chance
of winning the game,”
head coach Teddy Young
said.
Young and Noxubee
the backfield Saturday
was not so much an in-
dictment of his playmak-
ing ability but an act of
desperation by an MSU
coaching staff that is run-
ning desperately short on
running backs.
Entering the year, ju-
nior Kylin Hill earned
wide acclaim as one of the
SEC’s top ball carriers.
Through three games
he’s lived up to the hype.
Hill currently ranks No.
3 in rush yards nationally
and sits No. 5 in the coun-
try in all-purpose yards
after opening the season
with three straight 100-
yard contests.
“He’s a strong runner,”
Kentucky coach Mark
Stoops said of Hill on
Monday. “Really good,

physical guy.”
But as has become the
seemingly annual ques-
tion mark surrounding
Hill, injuries are a con-
cern. A nagging ham-
string issue forced him
from two games last sea-
son and limited his pro-
duction in a number of
others.
MSU received a mi-
nor scare when Hill went
down just before halftime
against Southern Miss
in Week 2, though he re-
turned in the second half.
Beyond the expected
bumps and bruises SEC
football breeds, he’s re-
mained healthy so far.
That must remain the
case.
More pressing is the
lack of depth behind Hill.

It’ll also take big plays
from Noxubee County’s
receivers, including se-
nior Jaqualon Sherrod, as
Young sees a good match-
up for the Tigers against
the West Point secondary.
But the game’s most
pivotal matchup is on the
offensive and defensive
lines, the metaphorical

Senior Nick Gibson was
expected to shoulder the
load as his backup, but a
lower-body injury caused
him to miss the Kansas
State game.
In his absence, fresh-
man Lee Witherspoon
— who Hill likened to for-
mer All-American Geor-
gia running back Nick
Chubb — has been steady
in his place, totaling 44
yards and a touchdown on
10 attempts.
“I didn’t know what
to do for my celebration
because I was so over-
whelmed,” Witherspoon
quipped Tuesday of his
first collegiate score
against Kansas State.

of Birmingham, Alabama,

team, and you can pull off
another upset win behind
your home crowd.
“If we can block them
up front,” Young said, “I
like our chances.”
That physical play has
been a big key to Noxu-
bee County’s early suc-
cess. The Tigers’ D-line,
led by junior Travorus
Hatcher, was the driving
force behind consecutive
shutouts of Louisville and
Columbus to open the
season.
But Noxubee County’s
defense faces a far big-
ger test in the 3-1 Green

aged a cool 35 points per

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Harper, Eflin power Phillies to win over Braves
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Zach
Eflin insists the Phila-
delphia Phillies won’t go
down without a fight.
“We have the guys
in the clubhouse to do it
and get there and make a
postseason run,” he said.
“We’re looking forward
to riding the momentum
in these coming days and
the next series we have
and really do just every-
thing we can to make it.”
Bryce Harper hit a two-
run homer, Eflin pitched
seven smooth innings and
the Phillies won their sec-
ond straight game over
the Atlanta Braves, beat-
ing the NL East leaders
4-1 on Wednesday night.

Atlanta has lost three
in a row for the first time
since July 16-18 but still
leads the division by nine
games. With nine games
left in the regular season,
the Braves can clinch
their second consecutive
NL East title with either
two wins, two Washing-
ton losses or a combina-
tion of one each.
The Phillies, eliminat-
ed from the division race,
are three games back in
the chase for the second
wild card and need to
pass three teams to make
the playoffs.
Harper has more hom-
ers (nine) against Braves
starter Julio Teheran than
any pitcher he’s faced.
He has gone deep seven

times against Atlanta this
year, more than any other
Braves opponent.
Teheran hit J.T. Real-
muto with a pitch in the
fourth before Harper took
him deep to right-center,
the slugger’s 32nd homer,
for a 2-1 lead. Harper has
a .404 average in 47 career
at-bats against Teheran.
“Obviously in the past
we’ve had issues and
it’s been kind of up and
down,” Teheran said. “It
was a mistake and we all
know what kind of a good
hitter he is.”
Eflin (9-12) gave up
just an unearned run and
five hits. He had not made
it out of the fourth inning
in any of his first three
starts against Atlanta,
allowing 20 runs — 12
earned — with 17 hits
and nine walks in 9 1/3
innings.
“That was the tough-
est, from a mental stand-
point, start from a pitch-
er that we’ve gotten all
season long,” Phillies
manager Gabe Kapler
said. “He just kind of had
a resiliency about him in
this game that he wasn’t
going to get beat mental-
ly and just continued to
induce groundball after
groundball, weak contact
throughout the game.”
The Phillies led 4-1
in the sixth after César

DEAR ABBY: I have been
married for three years. I’m not
someone who initiates sex,
but once in a blue moon I get
the urge. Unfortunately, every
time I do, my husband refuses
and makes excuses. This year
I tried twice, and after the
last rejection, I exploded from
anger.
I am so insulted! I never
refuse him, even if I don’t
feel like it, because I want to
please him. When I told him
how he made me feel, he
apologized. He said he didn’t
mean to hurt my feelings, but I
feel awful. Now I no longer feel
any sexual urges at all, and
I’m no longer attracted to my
husband.
What must I do? I can’t
simply forget the feelings. —
INSULTED WIFE
DEAR INSULTED: Because
your husband is usually the one
who initiates sex, it’s possible
that this is the way he prefers
it. That said, however, this
issue could end your marriage
if it isn’t dealt with. You and
your husband should ask your
physician for a referral to a
licensed psychotherapist who
can help both of you get to the
core of this issue. Do not let
this fester. Do it NOW.
you’re on the giving or receiving
end of it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
There is no such thing as mass
appeal. The appeal is to one
person many times over. Don’t
aim your message to all. Aim
it from the most specific part
of you toward something very
particular in another person.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Though a mood that’s totally im-
pervious to influence would be
an impossibility, you shouldn’t
base your happiness on wheth-
er another person happens to
be pleased with you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Some people need longer to
process events, especially the
difficult ones. You know that
just because people don’t react
the way you would doesn’t mean
they don’t have similar feelings
about the situation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). When people state their
intentions, you offer encourage-
ment and support. If the action
doesn’t come to pass and this
becomes a pattern, you’re still
supportive, but it’s appropri-
ate to have a different set of
responses.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). It may seem like a fight
is necessary, and yet that’s
not really the case. You could
also just skip it. If not, prepare
for tomorrow, when today’s
arguments will seem petty and
insignificant.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Some interpret news
hopefully, and others defensive-
ly or cynically. Optimism and
pessimism are just different
interpretations, neither being
better or more correct, though
optimistic people are usually
happier.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’ll be busy with many
areas of life at once, but you’ll
also have a sense of spiritual
alignment that makes this eas-
ier than it sounds. Congruent
beliefs and behaviors will turn
dreams into tangible results.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). To learn quickly, practice
repetition. Consider using flash-
cards and reminders -- not your
idea of fun, but it will help you
assimilate knowledge quickly
and move to the next level,
which you’re going to love.

Baptist Golden Triangle recognized information on 100 percent of the

Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden
Triangle has achieved gold certification
from the Mississippi Cancer Registry
based on the hospital’s submission of
timely, complete and high-quality data.
This year’s certification is based on the
diagnosis year 2017.
Baptist Golden Triangle submitted at
least 95 percent of its expected volume
of cancer cases diagnosed and/or
receiving the first course of treatment
at the hospital; less than two percent
of the hospital’s cancer cases reported
were missing crucial information such
as age, sex or city of residence; and less
than three percent of the cancer cases
were missing the race of the patient.
Also, to receive the gold certifica-
tion, the hospital must have submitted
unresolved cancer deaths that occurred
at the hospital within the state’s dead-
line. The hospital scored 99 percent on
completeness of data submitted and
100 percent in reporting unresolved
cancer deaths to qualify for the gold
certification. Timeliness could not be
used in assessing the 2017 data because
the large volume of coding rules that
changed beginning with diagnosis year
2016 caused software vendors delays
in getting the appropriate updates to
the hospitals. That affected the ability
to complete the 2017 data in a timely
manner.
The purpose of the award is to rec-
ognize hospitals for submitting infor-
mation so that the Mississippi Cancer
Registry can effectively monitor the
amount of cancer cases in the state.

Striking workers question whether

UAW leaders can be trusted
‘Where there’s big money, there’s
dishonesty, unfortunately’
The Associated Press
ROMULUS, Mich. —
The strike against General
Motors by the United Auto
Workers is playing out
amid a corruption scan-
dal inside the UAW that
has caused distrust of the
union leadership among
many rank-and-file mem-
bers.
On picket lines at plants
across the country, many
of the 49,000 workers have
expressed doubts about
whether UAW leaders are
acting in their best inter-
ests in the dispute and in
their handling of union
money in general. Some
have gone so far as to won-
der whether the leadership
took them out on strike
to show that the union is
working for them.
“Where there’s big
Employee Brian Jaeger
money, there’s dishonesty,
unfortunately,” 41-year em-
ployee Brian Jaeger said
outside a parts distribution
center in Van Buren Town-
ship, Michigan. He said he
is grateful for the life that
the union has brought his
family and he supports the
strike, but he is also suspi-
cious of the leadership.
The walkout began
Monday, with UAW mem-
bers saying they want a
bigger share of the billions
that the No. 1 U.S. auto-
maker has made off their
hard work since it emerged
from bankruptcy a decade
ago with the help of union
concessions. The strike
— authorized Sunday in
a vote by about 200 local
union representatives —
has shut down more than
30 factories in nine states,
mostly in the Midwest.
In August, the FBI
raided the suburban De-
troit home of UAW Pres-
ident Gary Jones as part
of the widening federal
investigation. He has not
been charged and has not
commented on the raid.
Earlier this month, Jones’
successor as union region-
al director in Missouri
was charged in a $600,000
embezzlement scheme,
and another UAW official
pleaded guilty to taking
kickbacks from union ven-
dors.
Eight other people —
including five UAW offi-
cials — have been convict-
ed over the past two years
of looting a jointly run
Fiat Chrysler-UAW train-
ing center for blue-collar
workers, with prosecutors
alleging that $1.2 million
was diverted to keep union
officials “fat, dumb and
happy” while they collabo-
rated with the automaker
in contract talks.
