BOONEVILLE — Gov. Phil Bryant touted the important role community colleges play in training the state’s workforce during a visit to Northeast Mississippi Community College Wednesday afternoon.

Bryant spoke in the Claude Wright Room of the Haney Union to students, NE faculty and staff, public officials and guests where he stressed work force training programs offered by community colleges are vital for employment opportunities.

Mississippi has much to offer and its strong work force creates an environment to help the private sector create jobs, Bryant said.

He highlighted the tremendous work being done by the auto manufacturers in Blue Springs and Canton, as well as the work at Stennis Space Center, along with movies made in Mississippi, and industrial expansions, among other examples of job creation.

“Mississippi works for us ... we work for the companies and corporations,” he said.

The City of Corinth says it’s time for “old Moses” to clean up.

Five months after fire severely damaged the commercial property at the corner of U.S. Highway 72 and South Tate Street, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen is pressing the property owner to take action.

It has not officially entered the adjudication process, through which the city can have a property cleaned up

or demolished and add the cost to the owner’s property tax bill, but a letter was recently sent to owner Leon Williams detailing the city’s concerns.

“They want to work with the city as far as getting done what needs to be done,” said attorney Donald Downs, representing the owner.

He said they are interested in salvaging the building, if possible. Only one tenant, Crossroads Auto Shop, has Please see CLEANUP | 2

Candy Classic sends $12,000 to St. Jude

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Raising money while playing tennis is working out for organizers of Corinth’s long standing Candy Classic Memorial Tennis Tournament.

The tourney, which celebrated its 36th event earlier this year, raises cancer research funds in honor of Candy Hammond of Corinth and Amber Peeks of Booneville, two children who lost their battle with cancer.

This year the group sent a check for $12,000 to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The group had donated more than $15,000 to the Memphis hospital the previous two years.

“It’s amazing that a charity event has not only continued for this many years, but is continuing to grow,” said Becky Nelms, associate director of the tournament.

Livestock show set for Saturday

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn County Fair and Junior Livestock Show is ready for the stampede of cattle set for Saturday at the Crossroads Arena.

Around 177 entries will take part in the yearly event. The number of entries is up over 30 from last year.

“This is the biggest response we have ever had in over 14 years,” said livestock committee chairman Patrick Poindexter.

“Word has spread about our show.”

Over half of the entries are coming from Tennessee, according to Poindexter.

“Our show is very accommodating and relaxed,” said Poindexter. “We want it to be about the kids.”

Cattle will be judged on such things as appearance, balance and size. Cattle will be broke down according to age and breed.

Cash awards will be presented for 1st5th place.

The junior show is open to all youngsters ages 8-18 who are members of 4-H or FFA. “A show like this teaches kids discipline and leadership,” said Poindexter. “They have a responsibly to take care of an animal every day and see that it grows and matures.”

Students in the the horticulture and shop classes of the Alcorn Career & Technology Center helped get the barn ready by setting up show rings and tying out panels.

The schedule for tonight’s free admission to the fair includes: ■ Baked goods registration, 9 a.m.noon

Automatic license plate readers helped officers two former colleagues during a live interview.

The recognition systems have become increasingly popular with law enforcement in recent years. The devices allow officers on patrol to scan the plates of passing vehicles to determine if the cars have been linked to crimes, if drivers have outstanding fines and more.

Authorities chasing the suspect in a fatal shooting at Delta State University in Mississippi used an automatic license plate reader to track the man as he traveled across state lines.

The technology was also used in Virginia weeks ago when a disgruntled former television reporter fatally shot

Those who come out of workforce training programs have essential skills which impact the economy, he said.

The state’s unemployment rate was at 9.5 percent when he became governor and now stands at 6.5 percent and headed down.

“We want to continue to lower it,” he said.

When he became the state’s 64th governor he wanted every person who

wanted a job to have one.

Now, he said, “I want them to have a job even if they don’t want one.”

He would like to see implemented where those on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) must go into work force training in the community colleges in order to continue assistance.

“The American dream is not designed around unemployment. I want every Mississippian to live the American dream,” said Bryant.

He said it can start in the community colleges where students are taught skills to help them go to work.

Following his brief talk, Bryant toured the Northeast campus and was scheduled to visit SCP Polymers in Booneville, a custom injection molder of thermoplastics.

Bryant was accompanied by Rep. Tracy Arnold of Booneville.

“I am grateful for the Northeast Mississippi Community College and its great impact in our

“I want to thank President Ricky Ford, the faculty and staff for a job well done. Our community colleges are ranked #1 in the nation. I’m proud to be a strong supporter of our community colleges.”

“My concern with this building is, number one, the health and safety concern for this community,” said Alderman Andrew “Bubba” Labas. “I don’t know that it’s adequately secured right now.

“I understand you need time.

I’m willing and I want to help work with you. However, from my point of view, we need to see action much sooner rather than later on this building. Otherwise, I think it’s going to be left to this board to go into the demolition and cleanup process, and I don’t want to see that happen.”

Building Inspector Greg Tyson said the condition of the burnedout property has been a big source of public complaints to the city.

Structurally, he said the upper

level “has to go,” and it would take extensive work to keep the back section where the mechanic’s shop is located.

Downs said there is concern about the possible presence of asbestos and the cost of removal. Tyson said an asbestos inspection is needed to determine if the hazardous material is present.

“It’s a 50-50 shot,” he said.

Williams’ grandson is assisting him and making plans to take over the property.

The board voted to give until Oct. 20 for the owner to present a plan of action to the city.

“The growth has yet to hit really the middle school and high school,” said Childress.

Citizens work to promote wheel tax

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — A group of concerned citizens have been working together to help promote the passing of the ‘wheel tax’ in McNairy County.

The Citizens for Moving McNairy County Forward has been gathering momentum during the early voting period that ends Sept. 26.

McNairy County will have a referendum on Oct. 1 to determine the fate of a $75 ‘wheel tax.’

If the referendum passes, county citizens with a vehicle will pay $75 annually to help increase funding for county government.

The majority of the $75 is expected to be spent on the school system and road improvement.

There would also be money spent on county fire protection and for the sheriff’s department.

“The primary reason I got involved is I was unaware of the

county revenue problems until I began going to the county commission meetings this year,” said Brad Hunt, chairman of the committee supporting the tax.

Hunt said it is apparent our county has a funding problem and many areas that need improvement in the county. He mentioned the school system needs new schools, the sheriff needs more jailers to get the jail state certified as well as more officers, and an extensive road improvement plan for the county has not been done in 10-years.

Hunt, a farmer, said the county would likely have to pass a ‘property tax’ if the ‘wheel tax’ fails and that would be a problem for landowners in the county.

“I’m a very conservative person and normally not a pro-tax person, but the county needs the revenues in some way,” said Hunt. “I just believe the ‘wheel tax’ is the most fair tax.”

Hunt said approximately 60 percent of the county residents do not own land and that would leave 40 percent of the county residents carrying the burden under a ‘property tax.’

Adamsville Elementary teacher Wendy Bowers is the secretary-treasurer of the committee that is supporting the ‘wheel tax.’

“We have received a very good response from people,” said Bowers. “We have done a phone bank this week and probably 90 percent of the people have told us they were in favor of the ‘wheel tax.’”

The Tennessee Education Association has helped in promotion of the ‘wheel tax’ because the organization knows it will be beneficial to the education system.

“The TEA has helped us with publicity through newspaper ads, postcards and social media,” added Bowers, an active

Real estate firm accused of discrimination Associated Press

JACKSON — A complaint filed with the Department of Housing and Urban Development alleges a Brandon real estate company discriminated against black customers and encouraged white homebuyers to purchase houses in predominantly white areas.

On Sept. 10, the National Fair Housing Alliance filed a complaint with HUD’s fair housing office in Atlanta against Re/Max Alliance following a yearlong investigation in which people of both races posed as prospective buyers with

similar qualifications and housing preferences.

As of Tuesday, Lee Garland, a real estate agent and director of the office, said he had not received a copy of the complaint from HUD or the housing alliance.

“Discrimination is not an option with our company,” he said. “It is not condoned, and we will not allow it.”

The complaint mentions Lorgroup, LLC, or Re/Max Alliance, and real estate agents Garland, Randy Inman, Lisa Bourgoyne and Chase Belk as respondents to the complaint. Belk and

Inman referred questions to Garland, and Bourgoyne did not immediately return a request for comment.

The investigation was sparked by a complaint from a black homebuyer who told the housing alliance he or she had contacted Re/Max regarding a foreclosed property.

“They were not serviced in a way that they found professional and had a sense there may be discriminatory sentiment behind the experience they had,” said Morgan Williams, general counsel for the housing alliance.

Man accused of videotaping naked minor to plead guilty Associated Press

BILOXI — A Biloxi man accused using a small body camera to shoot videos of a minor girl engaged in sexually explicit activity has said he intends to plead guilty on child pornography charges.

Federal court records show that 42-year-old Ruben Ralph-James Masters intends to

change his plea to guilty on two counts in a fourcount indictment. His hearing is Sept. 29.

A federal grand jury indicted Masters in June on two counts each of possession of child pornography and production of child pornography. A notice filed by his attorney said Masters plans to plead guilty to one count of each charge.

CONQUERING GIANTS Few stories in the Bible are better known, better loved, or more often told than that recorded in I Samuel 17; the story of David and Goliath. It is the story of a Hebrew lad sent to the site where the nation of Israel is set in array against the Philistine army. As the story unfolds, Goliath comes out on a daily basis to “defy the armies of the living God” (verse 26) David is not shaken or intimidated by the mountain of a man, but using very simple weapons coupled with faith in God, brings Goliath down, and the army of God is able to drive away the Philistines for a time. In the story there are some inspiring parallels for today, for those who have “giants” in their life that need to be defeated.

First consider what we will call “The Goliath Factor”.

This man was possibly more than nine feet tall, carried as much as two hundred pounds of armor, which may or may not have included the twenty five pound spearhead on the end of a staff that was like a weaver’s beam, and a separate individual whose sole responsibility seems to have been that of carrying his shield. (verses 4-7) The text says “When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.”(verse 11) Verse twenty four says “And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.” This is often our response to the many things that challenge our faith in God, to the temptations that paralyze our strength, and our fervor for righteous pursuits. We must CONFRONT our weaknesses and fears, regardless of their size and strength, as David confronted Goliath. What is troubling you? What is the “Goliath” in your life you need to bring down? Don’t be intimidated, there is help. Be willing to stand “toe to toe” with Satan and his angels, and all the weapons he has in his very well-stocked and diverse arsenal. Paul warned, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his devices.”(2 Corinthians 2:11) (More next week) We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

member of TEA. Bowers said the local committee is a legally formed Political Action Committee. She said rumors county government was funding the committee are untrue.

Hunt said one thing is very clear for the future – the county will have to pass a ‘wheel tax’ or ‘property tax’ to fund county government. If the funding is not there, county services will have to be downsized in the future.

Bowers and Hunt agree the committee has tried to send the message to voters that voting yes for the ‘wheel tax’ is the most fair way of moving McNairy County forward in the future.

Corinth, Miss.

In praise of monarchy Some time in the early evening of Sep. 9, London time, Queen Elizabeth II broke a record: she became the longest-serving monarch in British history, beating her greatgreat-grandmother Victoria’s reign of 63 years and 216 days. She is also, at 89, by a solid stretch the longest-lived British monarch.

And still busy at work, with hundreds of public appearances every year and reading official papers every day in red Michael boxes and meeting with the Barone prime minister every week.

The sovereign, as Walter BageColumnist hot wrote in “The English Constitution” some 150 years ago, has “the right to be consulted, the right to encourage and the right to warn.”

Exactly how Elizabeth II has exercised these rights with her 12 prime ministers from Winston Churchill (born 1874) to David Cameron (born 1966) has not been revealed by any of them, or by heads of government of her other 15 realms from Canada and Australia to St. Kitts and Nevis.

The Queen lacks political power, but she is the most visible example of how a constitutional monarch can provide stability and a national rallying point in the way seldom available to a president or prime minister in a republic. She has been, as Margaret Thatcher’s official biographer Charles Moore writes, “a figure of peace, courtesy and trust,” one which “mixes morality with a touch of cunning.”

It has been apparent in her active involvement as head of the Commonwealth of Nations, which has expanded during her reign from eight nations to 53, with about onethird of world population.

This is in vivid contrast to opinion a century ago. One of the things that vanished in advanced countries after World War I was the idea that monarchy – not constitutional monarchy, but one where the monarch exercised governmental powers – conferred legitimacy on the state. The theory was that the masses would regard one who came to his position by blood as having authority by act of God. This notion was thoroughly discredited by the way that monarchs with real power – the erratic Kaiser Wilhelm II, Queen Victoria’s oldest grandchild, and the dim Tsar Nicholas II, husband of her favorite granddaughter – made decisions that led to a war that killed tens of millions. Nicholas lost his life and Wilhelm lost his throne, as did the heir of the Kaiser-King Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary, whose reign of 67 years and 355 days may be equaled by Elizabeth in January 2020.

The subsequent history of Germany, Russia, Austria and Hungary shows that there are worse forms of government than hereditary monarchy. Victoria, as Moore notes, was “furiously opposed to race prejudice,” treating Indian maharajas as equally royal and her Jewish subjects as equally British. Wilhelm never demonized or persecuted Jews, and Franz Josef three times vetoed the election of an anti-Semitic mayor of Vienna.

Monarchs, it seems, tend to have an instinctive aversion to genocide and to catering to bigotry.

Queen Elizabeth in this respect has followed her great-great-grandmother’s good example. Her assiduous interest in African Commonwealth nations has been attested to by many of their leaders.

The problem with monarchy, constitutional or otherwise, is that its success depends on the character of the monarch. Elizabeth has carefully disciplined herself since childhood. As her sister Princess Margaret observed, “Lilibet has always known the right thing to do.”

For all its virtues, monarchy would never suit us small-R republican, small-D democratic Americans. But we can partake vicariously in celebrating the achievement of our Anglosphere cousins’ sovereign. So let’s join them in saying, “God save the Queen.”

(Daily Corinthian columnist Michael Barone is senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and a co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)

Prayer for today Almighty God, help me as I start this day to remember how easy it is to drive the peace from it. May I do my best to keep it, and defy any indolence or disposition, that may make me spoil it. May I lay me down at night in peace and sleep because of the contentment that has filled the hours. Amen.

A verse to share “Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.”

— Jeremiah 26:13

Could state be serious about reading?

OXFORD — A well-worn adage in education circles is that children must learn to read in grades one-three because afterward they must read to learn.

Final results of Mississippi’s high-stakes tests for third-graders were released by the state Department of Education last week. They show that 2,900 students must be retained until they can pass the “Reading Summative Assessment.”

That may sound high, but it could have been worse.

There were three rounds of testing. The first round sent education officials back to the chalkboard.

After declaring that “Third Grade Gate” was the official policy of the state and that no student could be passed to the fourth without passing the reading test, 15 percent (5,800) of the Mississippi’s 38,000 third-graders initially failed to reach the lowest benchmark.

That triggered the additional rounds, preceded by intensive coaching, to improve the pass rate.

Gov. Phil Bryant told The Clarion-Ledger that $39.5 million was invested in coaching. He was happy with the much-lower number. “The policy is yielding positive results for Mississippi children,” he told the Jackson newspaper.

Mississippi’s history of

political involvement with classroom matters is, like the history of federal inCharlie v o l v e m e n t Mitchell with classroom matColumnist ters, checkered.

Times have changed. Today, what courses should be taught and when, the length of lunch breaks and even how schoolwork can be graded is often a matter of legislation.

All through this, Mississippi, followed its heritage of resenting, resisting or at least questioning anything emanating from Washington. No Child Left Behind and its predecessors were greeted suspiciously, enacted with great reservation.

More recently, even though Common Core was developed at the behest of state governors and endorsed by former Gov. Haley Barbour, members of the Mississippi Legislature last year decreed it was evil incarnate.

As part of this ongoing rebellion, the state decreed once and for all that Mississippi and only Mississippi would decide what was good for Mississippi schools.

“Third Grade Gate” is, tangentially at least, a part of the insurgency. Schools

were told to objectively certify fourth-grade reading readiness or retain students. Period.

It was a necessary, but strong move. And it was scary given that an earlier battery of tests (MCT2) indicated as many as 28 percent of third-graders might be retained.

That triggered some thought, which resulted in deciding what would be a passing score after the first round of testing.

Tantamount to drawing the finish line after the race was run? Yes. Sam Bounds, executive director of the Mississippi Association of State Superintendents called that “kind of gerrymandering,” but was glad it had taken place.

And just because 1,900 more students eased through the “gate” in rounds two and three doesn’t mean the work is over. While the law doesn’t require reading “proficiency” to enter fourth grade, those who barely made it must be given extra help this year.

In truth, Mississippi has had an array of high-stakes testing going back many, many years. For a while, and in response to citizen complaints that high school graduates couldn’t balance their checkbooks, the state required all high school seniors to pass a Functional

Literacy Exam before receiving their diplomas. (It tested, among other things, the ability to balance a checkbook.)

And there have been myriad others.

It’s really yet clear whether Third Grade Gate will take Mississippi to a golden plateau in education management, but there can be little argument that it’s one heck of a solid start.

Florida and North Carolina have also piloted this approach. Mississippi could have gotten started with more energy way back in 2000. That’s when the Barksdale family got a tepid response to a $100 million pledge to support reading instruction for the youngest students. But it’s here now and here’s hoping the powers that be don’t water it down.

The adage is old, but true.

For students who don’t read fairly well by fourth grade, every year is tougher. It’s not fair to move failing students along, only to keep failing at higher and higher levels.

One more thing: Here’s hoping no one says Third Grade Gate was Obama’s idea, or it will be doomed, too.

Kim Davis versus judicial tyranny “If the law supposes that, the law is a ass – a idiot.”

Charles Dickens gave that line to Mr. Bumble in “Oliver Twist.”

And it sums up the judgment of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis about the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision, which said the 14th Amendment guarantees same-sex couples the right to marry.

Davis refused to provide marriage licenses to gay couples lined up at her clerk’s office and was sent to jail for five days by a federal judge for contempt of court.

Good for her. We need more like her.

For behind her defiance are more authoritative sources than the five justices who gave us Obergefell: the Old and New Testaments, Natural Law, two millennia of Christian teaching and tradition, and the entire body of U.S. federal and state law up to Y2K. Moreover, Kentucky never enacted a law authorizing same-sex marriage. Nor did the Congress of the United States.

Whence, then, did this “law” come?

Answer: This is a creation of a Supreme Court that has usurped the legislative power to impose a secularist anti-Christian ideology on a

nation, much of which still rejects it, but has no recourse against it.

A right to Pat s a m e - s e x Buchanan marriage was no more in Columnist the Constitution as written or amended than was a woman’s right to have an abortion.

The Court has lately been declaring to be constitutional rights that used to regarded as shameful crimes.

This is judicial tyranny. And Kim Davis’ defiance is as old as the republic.

When Chief Justice Roger Taney declared slaves were property and could not become citizens, Harriet Tubman ignored his Dred Scott decision, defied the fugitive slave laws, and helped slaves escape from her native Maryland.

Throughout American history, industrial workers, civil rights and anti-war activists, and political dissenters have defied laws, ignored court orders, and gone to jail for contempt.

Rosa Parks broke the law in Montgomery, Alabama, by refusing to move to the back of the bus. Martin Luther King, a disciple of Gandhi,

preached and practiced civil disobedience his entire life.

Now there is a statue on the mall and a holiday for King and talk of putting Tubman or Parks on America’s currency. They are honored because their defiance of court orders and law-breaking were done in the cause of social progress.

But Kim Davis’ defiance of a court order was done because that is what God told her to do, and she wanted to be faithful to the beliefs she had embraced as an Apostolic Christian.

Yes, Virginia, there is a double standard.

In the 20th century, if you were breaking the law or violating a court order to protest segregation, Vietnam, or apartheid in South Africa, you got an indulgent press.

But if you were defying a court order to stop blocking integration at the University of Alabama or Little Rock High, or stop protesting too close to the local abortion mill, you got lectures on the “rule of law.”

Some conservatives say that Kim Davis as a public official has to carry out court orders, even those she believes to be immoral, or quit. Yet the course she took has undeniably advanced her cause in our unending culture war.

She has also exposed the breadth and depth of the division in the country between an older Christian America and new Secular America.

Once, the Supreme Court could rely upon a residual respect for its proceedings, grounded in a belief that ours is a good government whose actions, even if we disagree, are rooted in principle and merit respect.

That reservoir of trust and good will is about gone.

Almost all of the civil and uncivil disobedience of the last half-century, from campus uprisings to urban riots to political protests, came from the left. But as an anti-Christian secularism becomes ascendant, dominant and imperious, rumbles are coming from right.

Indeed, from the raw politics of the Summer of Trump, it seems clear that Middle America has come to believe it has been had, and that the state that rules the nation is hostile to the country they love, and needs to be resisted and defied.

We are headed for interesting times.

Oklahoma man’s execution halted McALESTER, Okla. — An appeals court halted the execution of an Oklahoma man with just hours to spare Wednesday after his attorneys said they had uncovered new evidence, including a fellow inmate’s claim that he overheard another man convicted in the case admit he acted alone.

Richard Eugene Glossip was twice convicted of ordering the killing of Barry Van Treese, who owned the Oklahoma City motel where Glossip worked. Motel handyman Justin Sneed admitted robbing and beating Van Treese with a baseball bat, but said he did so only after Glossip promised to pay him $10,000.

Prosecutors alleged Glossip was afraid Van Treese was about to fire him for embezzling money and poorly managing the motel.

Glossip, 52, was scheduled to be executed at 3 p.m. Wednesday, but the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals agreed to a delay just before noon. Glossip’s lawyers said they obtained a signed affidavit from another inmate, Michael Scott, who claims he heard Sneed say “he set Richard Glossip up, and that Richard Glossip didn’t do anything.�

His attorneys also argued that Glossip’s trial attorneys didn’t present enough evidence to discredit Sneed, who was sentenced to life in prison and testified against Glossip. They presented an affidavit from an admitted methamphetamine dealer who said he frequently saw Sneed use the drug and trade stolen items for it. Â

ACLU files suit over homeless sweeps HONOLULU — Attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union are suing Honolulu over the way city officials are clearing out homeless encampments.

The attorneys filed a lawsuit in federal court Wednesday.

The complaint on behalf of residents of one of the nation’s largest homeless encampments says people have lost food and valuable belongings in the sweeps.

City officials recently stepped up enforcement of rules that ban blocking or storing property on sidewalks. They cleared tents from a section of one of the nation’s largest homeless encampments last week, and they plan to clear another small section today. Â

Comic apologizes for lying about 9/11 NEW YORK — Comedy Central said Wednesday it is reevaluating what to do about Steve Rannazzisi’s planned stand-up special this weekend after the comic apologized for lying about working in New York’s World Trade Center when terrorists attacked on Sept. 11, 2001.

Rannazzisi said he didn’t know why he told the story, which he called “a mistake that I deeply regret and for which apologies may still not be enough.�

The comedian appears in the FXX series “The League.� One of his first Hollywood roles was on Ashton Kutcher’s MTV show, “Punk’d.� Sports fans may know him from a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial. The Comedy Central special titled, “Breaking Dad,� and said

to feature stories about fatherhood, is scheduled for Saturday at 11 p.m.

EDT. “We just learned about his last night,� said Comedy Central spokesman Steve Albani. “We are very disappointed to hear about Steve’s misrepresentations and are currently determining how we will move forward.�

His falsehood was first reported in a story published Wednesday in The New York Times. Â

Goal announced for cutting food waste NEW YORK -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced a goal Wednesday to cut the amount of food that Americans waste by 50 percent by 2030. “The United States enjoys the most productive and abundant food supply on Earth, so too much of this food goes to waste,� Vilsack said in New York City, where he was joined by foodindustry representatives and officials from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Vilsack likened the effort to reduce food waste to the anti-littering campaigns of the 1960s and ‘70s that shamed Americans for tossing trash out car windows. “This is the logical extension,� he said. “This is the next litter campaign.�

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that Americans waste 133 billion pounds of food every year, or 31 percent of their overall food supply.

Vilsack said other nations waste similar amounts and the U.S. must lead a global effort to use food more efficiently. “This is an opportunity for us to make a statement and provide leadership,� he said.

EPA officials said the massive waste is a problem not just because

the food could feed the hungry but also because it ends up in landfills and affects the environment. “Twenty-one percent of all the waste in landfills is food,â€? EPA Deputy Administrator Stan Meiburg said. “Once it’s there, it produces methane, which is a greenhouse gas.â€? Â

Brady says he’s supporting Trump FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw his support behind presidential candidate Donald Trump Wednesday, hours before the second Republican debate.

The Super Bowl MVP, whose four-game suspension for using deflated footballs was recently overturned by a judge, says he thinks his golf partner can win. “I hope so,� he said. “It would be great. There would be a putting green on the White House lawn, I can tell you that.�

Brady’s locker sported a “Make America Great Again� red hat sent to him by Trump. “It was a nice keepsake,� he said. “It could be a yeah, a nice piece of memorabilia he sent me.�

Brady will lead the Patriots against the Bills Sunday.

Brady doesn’t appear to have given to federal politicians, a review of Federal Election Commission records shows.

His boss, Robert Kraft, gave $5,000, the maximum amount, to President Barack Obama’s campaign and another $52,000 to Democratic Party committees for Obama’s 2012 reelection. Kraft is mostly a Democratic supporter but has given donations in recent years to Sens.

Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham — both of whom are among those vying for the Republican presidential nomination.

Sentencing delayed in corruption case GULFPORT — Sentencing has been delayed until Nov. 2 for contractor Sean Anthony, who pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe two public officials from the Harrison County Utility Authority.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Ruth Morgan asked for the delay, because she must argue a case before the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Oct. 5, when Anthony was previously scheduled for sentencing.

The Sun Herald reports former Harrison County Supervisor Kim Savant, who served on the Utility Authority board, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the case. Savant admitted that he accepted $1,500 monthly cash payments from Anthony in exchange for supporting utility contracts for S.H. Anthony Inc. Savant is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 1. Â

Britt, who is from Madison, previously worked as a baseball coach at Starkville Academy.

Britt was accompanied by his attorney when he turned himself in Tuesday for arrest.

His bond was set at $35,000 per count.

Authorities say Britt posted bond soon after being processed. Â

Budget increase for sheriff denied GULFPORT — The Harrison County Sheriff’s Department requested increase in next year’s budget has been denied.

The largest portions of that 11 percent increase would have covered rising utility and fuel costs.

The Board of Supervisors on Monday approved the budget for fiscal year 2015-16.

The Harrison County Board of Supervisors on Monday approved the budget for fiscal year

2015-16.

The sheriff’s department received the same budget as last year -- a little over $18 million.

It was not the only department to request an increase that was not granted. The county Emergency Management Agency, Public Health Department and Beautification Department were all among those who asked for more money than they received last year.

The overall county budget remained similar to last year’s.

At the sheriff’s office, the requested increase in the administrative section would have covered 20 new cars, as well as boilers and fire alarms and smoke detectors. The supervisors have previously approved the purchase of the new cars and though the expense was denied in the annual budget the cars could still be purchased if the county receives enough tax revenue early next year.

Coach charged with enticement of child STARKVILLE — Starkville police have charged a Ridgeland High School coach with two counts of enticement of a child.

The Clarion-Ledger reports a warrant was issued for 30-year-old Jody Wayne Britt after the Starkville police department received reports of several incidents. Authorities have indicated the events are believed to have taken place within the last week.

Motive still elusive in fatal shootings Associated Press

GAUTIER — Shannon Lamb’s motive for fatally shooting his girlfriend and a university colleague remains largely a mystery: The university instructor had no criminal record, he was a well-liked teacher, and police said there was no history of domestic violence between him and Amy Prentiss.

And yet there were some signs of trouble: Cleveland Police Chief Charles “Buster” Bingham said Tuesday that authorities had some indication Lamb and the second shooting victim, Delta State University professor Ethan Schmidt, did not get along.

A student who praised Lamb, Brandon Beavers, said the professor also seemed agitated and jittery, “like there was something wrong with him.” And another student, Mikel Sykes, said Lamb told him he was dealing with stress at the end of the 2014-15 academic year.

Lamb also had asked the university for a medical leave of absence, saying he had a health issue of some sort, university President William LaForge has said.

This year, he was only teaching two online classes, and recent changes in the university’s hiring policies meant the doctorate Lamb had worked so hard to earn would not guarantee him an automatic tenure track.

Nonetheless, authorities have not been able to identify any one major factor that would have driven Lamb to shoot two people and then kill himself.

In a 911 call Monday, Lamb told police he had shot Prentiss and that officers needed to get over to their house. Lamb made a point to say his “sweet dog” was there alive and probably upset, and said the dead woman’s family contacts could be found on her phone.

Inside the home, officers found Prentiss’ body and a handwritten note in which

“We’ve got a lot of questions. ...

There’s obviously something there that brought this about.”

Charles ‘Buster’ Bingham Cleveland police chief

Lamb described her as “the only woman who ever loved me” and wrote “I wish I could take it back.”

News of the shootings of Prentiss in Gautier, Mississippi, and of Schmidt at Delta State, 300 miles away, shocked many.

“We’re talking about a guy who was highly dedicated to his children and to his students,” a former student of Lamb’s, Hannah Rapetti, said of him. She said Lamb spoke lovingly of Prentiss, was a dedicated father to his two children, and a devoted teacher who helped her find a scholarship so she could stay in school.

“Without him I wouldn’t have made it through college,” Rapetti said.

Police in Gautier said Lamb had no history of violence or criminal record. Schmidt himself had included Lamb in a book he wrote where he acknowledged the “wonderful people” he shared his academic life with.

Bingham said Tuesday that authorities had some indication Lamb and Schmidt did not get along at work. And he said Lamb had told some people that he had a spider bite on his face, which sparked the request for medical leave.

“We’ve got a lot of questions.

We don’t have answers yet. You could write this off to a disgruntled employee. There’s obviously something there that brought this about,” Bingham said.

Sapphires pass as diamonds in case of mistaken identity D E A R ABBY: Last year I gave my new (at that time) girlfriend, “Alyssa,” a pair of earAbigail rings for her i r t h d a y.

Van Buren bThey were in a box from a Dear Abby department store marked “fine jewelry.” She loved them and became emotional in expressing her gratitude. I thought it was because it was the first piece of jewelry I had ever bought for her.

When she opened the box I explained that they were her birthstone -- sapphires -- but WHITE sapphires. In her excitement she must have missed that part.

The earrings are large -- maybe one carat apiece.

Yesterday I overheard my granddaughter ask Alyssa if they were real diamonds, and Alyssa told her yes!

I kept my mouth shut when she said it, but now I understand why she was so excited when she first saw them. She cherishes the earrings and has told me numerous times she will never take them off.

I want to make this right, but I’m afraid she’ll feel embarrassed because she must have

told her girlfriends and family I gave her diamond earrings -which I didn’t. Abby, what do I do? -- LOVING BOYFRIEND IN VIRGINIA DEAR BOYFRIEND: You should straighten this out with your girlfriend, but do it privately. After that, let her disclose the fact that her diamond earrings are really sapphires at her discretion -- or not.

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s daughter and her husband are in their early 40s. When they invite us to visit them, there is never any preparation or advance planning. They provide no clean sheets or towels. If they order out, they expect us to pay.

When they visit us, they leave beer cans in the bookcases, devour all snacks without asking, etc.

Their house smells strongly of pet odors. If we opt to stay in a hotel, they are offended.

Every occasion revolves around drinking alcohol, and lots of it. I’ll have one drink, so they won’t say I am uptight and feel uncomfortable around me.

My husband is intimidated by his strong-willed daughter, and wishes this just would all go away.

There have been many, many more incidents and overall generally narcissistic and rude behavior.

My husband wants a relationship with his daughter. What to do? -- JUST WANTS TO RELAX DEAR JUST WANTS: You either grin and bear it -- and that includes laundering your own sheets and towels when you visit -- or send your husband to visit his daughter alone.

DEAR ABBY: A very good friend of mine had a facelift.

I’m out of the country, so I have only seen pictures of her. I don’t think it looks good at all. It looks fake and, in my opinion, has ruined her looks.

What should I say when I see her or when she asks me directly what I think of it? I hate to lie, but I don’t want to hurt her feelings. -- HONEST FRIEND DEAR HONEST: Sometimes people can be “too” honest, so be diplomatic if you are asked directly.

Tell her you always thought she was beautiful -- inside and out -- and thought she looked great before, but if she’s happy with the result, that’s what’s important.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The outsider sees what the insider is blind to. The only problem is that the outsider generally doesn’t talk about it to the insider’s face -- that is, unless asked directly. Do you dare?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It’s time to calm that chaotic mind. It starts by releasing a few preoccupations that have you mentally whirling. If you want a shortcut, try cleaning, exercise or going to that environment you love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Small steps lead to big things.

Today’s small step will include exchanging a first greeting with someone who will change your entire future. Be ready to introduce yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Regarding this afternoon’s happening: It feels as though there is but one way to react. Wrong.

There are always more choices than one. Detach yourself emotionally for a moment to think of more.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Frustration is like an intense spice. A pinch of it can make the recipe.

Too much ruins everything. Let the energy of frustration inform and ignite you, but only for a second. Feel it and then walk away to cool off for a while.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Science is often corrupted by wishful thinking, and wishful thinking is often corrupted by science. Where the two meet and harmonize, corrupt or not, is poetry.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You shouldn’t have to ask, demand or beg your loved ones to listen to you carefully. Unfortunately, some are too selfish or distracted to realize this. Don’t take it personally, but do kindly bring up the issue.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The group-think is strong. It goes against basic survival instincts to break free of it, though something inside you may tell you that escaping tribal mentality is right for you now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone claims to have remembered all you forgot, but that person recalls it so differently that it makes you want to keep better records. That’s not a bad idea, because there’s a lot coming up that you’ll want to remember.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Reclaim sovereignty over your body. Let no trainer, person, substance or chocolate cake boss you around. If it feels wrong in every limb, don’t do it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The place is new to you, and yet the people there see it every day. They are bored of it. The only thing that makes it exciting is seeing it for the first time through your eyes. Share your impressions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Think twice before you suggest improvements, give criticism, go another round, trade up or make changes of any kind today. “Better” can be the enemy of “good enough.”

Today

All eyes on the Fed The Federal Reserve has been weighing whether to start phasing out the era of easy money.

But will the conclusion of the central bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest two-day meeting today offer up any answers? Investors will be listening as Fed Chair Janet Yellen delivers a policy update following the meeting. The Fed has kept its key interest rate at historically low levels since the 2008 financial crisis.

Interest rate risk Just like a homeowner with an adjustable-rate mortgage, a corporation can also have debt with an interest rate that can move higher.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why investors are analyzing which companies have large amounts of variable-rate debt. The Federal Reserve concludes a two-day meeting on Thursday and, whether now or later in the year, economists expect the central bank to soon raise short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006.

Higher rates will mean more expensive interest payments for companies repaying variable-rate debt, eating into their profits. Some parts of corporate America tend to have more of this kind of debt than others. In the financial sector, for example, more than 16 percent of total debt is variable rate. For raw materials producers, in contrast, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less than 1 percent.

To be sure, companies can â&#x20AC;&#x153;hedgeâ&#x20AC;? how much a change in interest rates will impact them in an effort to blunt the pain of rising rates.

Top 10 This screen from Goldman Sachs shows the stock in each of the 10 sectors of the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index that has the highest amount of variable-rate debt as a percentage of its total.

Reader questions her current relationship Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I have been seeing my boyfriend, “John,” for more than a year and love him very much. We are in our mid-20s, and while there are no plans to move in together or settle down soon, I see a future with him.

The issue is that John currently lives with his older brother “Zack.”

Zack has no full-time job, no prospects and no friends outside of those provided by John. Zack is shy in social situations, and covers this by being snide and sarcastic, which leads him to be girlfriend-less. My friends no longer like hanging out with John, as Zack is almost always involved.

Also, John pays for everything for Zack — rent, food, entertainment or any event we go to. I feel like John’s second girlfriend. When we go out with other friends for dinner, John will pay for Zack, but not me.

And if the three of us go out, John and I split the bill 50/50. I don’t mind this occasionally, but my finances are tight and I don’t care to pay for Zack. I resent that Zack gets treated to these dinners, but I don’t. Even our romantic dates usually involve Zack, and of course, he would come on any vacation.

Annie, I feel stuck. I

sistance there. Otherwise, any “future” you see with John means including Zack in everything.

love John and I have even learned to like Zack, but I don’t think I can handle this situation any longer. I’ve brought it up delicately many times, and John and Zack both acknowledge the need for a change, but nothing happens. I don’t feel comfortable trying to get in between brothers, but this doesn’t seem healthy. — Third Wheel on Facebook Dear Third: John obviously feels responsible for Zack and wants to take care of him. He doesn’t feel responsible for you, since you are independent, both financially and socially.

Have you asked John privately whether Zack could benefit from counseling? If he is the older brother and still has no job and no social life, he might need some coaching in life skills.

He also might appreciate having someone teach him how to handle himself at a party or attract the attention of a female, and you could be of tremendous as-

Dear Annie: If people go in together to purchase a gift, should only one of the people receive a thank-you note?

I recently attended a bridal shower where four of us pooled our money to purchase an expensive gift.

At the shower, we were all asked to address an envelope to make thankyou notes easier for the bride-to-be. We all did so, but I was shocked to find out that the note was sent only to “Jill,” with the rest of our names included inside. Jill phoned the rest of us to let us know.

Have people really become so lazy that they can’t write a thank you to each person who gave a gift? It wasn’t Jill’s job to inform the rest of us.

Shame on the bride-tobe. — Proper Thank Yous Please Dear Proper: The bride may not have realized that a single gift from multiple people still requires individual thank-you notes. But yes, laziness undoubtedly played a part, considering that the guests had to pre-address their own envelopes.

But at the same time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often the breakout players who make the game so interesting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ZKHWKHU LW LV D \RXQJ SOD\HU Ă&#x20AC; QDOO\ UHDOL]LQJ KLV potential or a veteran bouncing back from a down season.

These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily MVP candidates, but rather a group of 10 players who have had solid seasons. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quick look at how they got to this point this season.

Xander Bogaerts, SS, Red Sox Once considered a consensus top-5 prospect in baseball, Bogaerts has truly broken out in his second full season, nearly making the All-Star game in the process. He is second in the AL with a .321 batting average, and even though his walk and power numbers are down, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly cut his strikeout numbers in half (23.2 to 14.4 percent). In a Red Sox lineup full of disappointments, Bogaerts has found a niche in the 3-hole, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hitting since late June.

Rangers overtake Astros for 1st in AL West The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Rangers overtook the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West, winning another tense Texas showdown 6-5 on Mitch Morelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Adrian Beltreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth hit put the Rangers in position to win a night after Prince Fielder pulled them within a half-game of the Astros with a tiebreaking two-run home run in the eighth. Houston had been in first place since July 28.

Fielder opened the ninth with a single to left off Oliver Perez (2-3), and pinchrunner Drew Stubbs went to third on Beltreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third single. Moreland sent a 1-0 pitch from Will Harris to Colby Rasmus in shallow center field, but Rasmusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; throw was off target and bounced, allowing Stubbs to score easily.

Texas closer Shawn Tolleson (6-3) pitched a scoreless ninth as the Rangers (77-67) moved into sole possession of first place for the first time this year, at a season-high 10

games over .500. Houston (77-68) holds the second AL wild card.

Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Evan Gattis finished a rally from an early four-run deficit with a two-out, two-run single for a 5-4 lead in the fourth.

Holland couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold a 4-0 lead, immediately allowing the first four hitters to reach in the second before Jake Marisnickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice squeeze bunt scored Jonathan Villar to get the Astros to 4-3.

McNairy edges Fayette-Ware

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SOMERVILLE, Tenn. — Carisa Morris scored in the final minute of play for the game-winning goal in McNairy Central’s 4-3 comeback win over Fayette-Ware Tuesday in Somerville.

The Lady Bobcats had trailed throughout the match until they scored two goals in the second half to escape with the district win.

Morris took a pass from Lexie Trice before she put the winning shot in the back of the net. Mary Kate Doyle had scored midway of the second half to tie the score 3-3.

McNairy keeper Holley Moore played well in the second half and shutout the host Wildcats to help MCHS earn the win. She finished the match with five saves.

“Our defense played much better in the second half and did not let them score,” said Coach Jerry Lott. “FayetteWare is an improved team from last year.”

Fayette-Ware scored in the opening minutes of the contest to take the lead and the Lady Bobcats played uphill the rest of the match. The Lady Wildcats led 3-2 at halftime.

Emma Gray and Gabi Forsythe scored McNairy’s other two goals in the game. McNairy’s record is now 3-1.

The Lady ‘Cats will host South Side Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Selmer City Park. MCHS will play in the North Side Tournament Saturday when they face Westview at 10:30 a.m. and South Gibson at 3:15 p.m.

Central runs its way to 24-0

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn Central boys continued their winning ways on the cross country course, topping the 14-team field Saturday at the Hickory Flat Invitational held in Michigan City.

Alcorn Central claimed its second team title in as many outings, upping its head-tohead team mark to 24-0.

The Bears totaled 36 points, ending with a 29-point advantage over the host school.

Mooreville rounded out the top 3 with 109 digits.

Trevor Godwin (18:30) and Luke Holley (18:49) paced the Bears’ efforts with a fourth- and fifth-place finish respectively out of a 137-deep field. Austin Settlemires (14, 19:31) was also a medalist, which recognized the top 15 individual performances.

SEC trying to erase ugly weekend The Associated Press

Trying to keep his Razorbacks focused after a stunning defeat, Arkansas coach Brett Bielema points to reigning national champion Ohio State’s turnaround from an early season loss last year for encouragement.

Bielema just as easily could mention Alabama.

The Southeastern Conference, so mighty and strong just a week ago with a record 10 teams in the Top 25, suddenly looks a lot less powerful

after an ugly weekend.

Arkansas lost 16-12 to Toledo at home, Auburn needed overtime at home to beat Football Championship Subdivision program Jacksonville State and Tennessee blew a 17-point lead and lost in overtime to Oklahoma. Falling out of the Top 25 were Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi State, which lost to LSU. Ah, but that was last week.

Divisional play cranks up this week with No. 18 Auburn at No. 13 LSU and No. 15 Ole

Miss at No. 2 Alabama, starting the SEC’s annual war of attrition in earnest. Now the league that put a team in the national championship game every year from 2006-13 has to work a bit harder to ensure someone stands among the nation’s final four at season’s end.

Tennessee coach Butch Jones said nothing has changed, though it’s a little easier for him to say that since his Vols at least lost in double overtime to a Top 20

team. Tennessee’s SEC debut comes Sept. 26 at Florida.

“The teams that can manage the natural adversities that a long football season brings about are the ones that go to bowl games and win championships,” Jones said.

“Everyone wants to push that red panic button across the country when something happens with their team.”

Louisville set to host No. 11 Clemson The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville has rarely faced a mustwin situation like the one looming against No. 11 Clemson: Avoiding an 0-3 start for the first time since 1984.

Throw in the matchup with the Tigers in the nationally televised Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams, and the Cardinals are especially motivated.

Louisville needs a fast start and avoid having to play catch-up as the Cardinals did in their first two losses, against Auburn in the season opener and last week against Houston.

Coach Bobby Petrino has urged the Cardinals to look ahead instead of back on those frustrating losses.

“I thought they did a real nice job of understanding that

we need to put it behind us,” Petrino said earlier this week.

“We’ve had two good practices, so I’m excited about that.”

Now they just need to convert that enthusiasm into execution.

Offensively, mobile freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson had a promising beginning to his first start. But he eventually gave way to sophomore Kyle Bolin, who

directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives but couldn’t complete the rally against the Cougars.

Petrino hasn’t named a starter against the Tigers, but Louisville could also use better run production after gaining just 70 yards against Houston.

The Cardinals’ defense also Please see LOUISVILLE | 17

At 1-0, Titans wary of repeat performance

BY TERESA M. WALKER AP Pro Football Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans are in an all too familiar situation, a case of deja vu they can’t wait to end.

Just like 2014, the Titans went 2-2 in the preseason and opened the season with a big win on the road. Now they want to ensure their rout at Tampa Bay doesn’t end up being half their win total, which was the case last season when

the Titans finished 2-14 after a surprising season-opening win at Kansas City.

Left tackle Taylor Lewan wants his teammates so focused on avoiding a repeat of 2014 that he made sure rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota was aware of the similarities while they watched the 42-14 win in Tampa Bay from the sideline in the fourth quarter.

Lewan also talked to coach Ken Whisenhunt as soon as they got on the plane.

“I think everyone’s very wary of what happened last year,” Lewan said Wednesday. “I mean we’re a different team. We’re establishing a different culture about us, and we’re ready to play this football game. ... We just have to continue to keep growing.”

Making the Titans even more cautious is their opponent Sunday. They set the wrong kind of NFL mark last season against the Cleveland Browns, blowing a 25-point

lead that was largest ever by a home team in losing.

Right guard Chance Warmack said that ranks in the category of something a person never forgets, especially the fourth-and-1 they didn’t convert with a chance to run out the clock to seal a win. Instead, the Titans were left at 1-4 and finished the season with 10 straight losses.

weekend, but neither game was pretty. Ranked sixth nationally, Auburn had fans scrambling to figure out where Jacksonville State is before the Tigers finally escaped 27-20 in overtime.

Auburn, which had been ranked sixth, fell 12 spots in the Top 25.

Wide receiver Melvin Ray said Auburn isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worried about suddenly facing diminished expectations or criticism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to tune it out because at the end of the

day weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 2-0,â&#x20AC;? Ray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we just keep winning, what we did no matter how we won, it will still be a win. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to matter.â&#x20AC;?

That approach worked for Alabama after the Crimson Tide lost 23-17 to Mississippi last season. Alabama simply won every other SEC game along with the league championship to earn the No. 1 seed in the national playoffs. Winning three of the last six national championships has helped prep the Tide to be ready every week.

tackle well, their corners like to play press man, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to that.â&#x20AC;?

Some things to watch when No. 11 Clemson visits Louisville: Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the QB? Jackson took over for an ineffective Reggie Bonnafon against Auburn before being relieved by Bolin against Houston, leaving things uncertain at QB against the Tigers.

Whoever starts not only has to establish consistency but hand off better than against Houston, when the Cardinals lost two exchanges.

Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back: Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was a freshman on an unstoppable two-week run in 2014 when an injury against Louisville sidelined him for a month.

TITANS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16

haunts you throughout your career, but you definitely remember things like that,â&#x20AC;? Warmack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into Cleveland just want to put yourself in the best situation possible.â&#x20AC;?

These Titans are very

different from last season with 18 new players on the roster, including seven starters. The biggest change is at quarterback where Mariota is coming off a nearly impeccable debut. Mariota had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 against Jameis Winston and Tampa Bay while

throwing four touchdown passes.

It was the kind of win Mariota enjoyed frequently in college at Oregon, and the rookie called it a confidence booster for one game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here last year, but a lot of the guys continue to talk about how

they won the first game and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out so well,â&#x20AC;? Mariota said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So these guys are really motivated.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take all the credit in the world right now. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to focus on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at hand and take it one day at a time.â&#x20AC;?

STARS OF THE WEEK ■ TB Peyton Barber,

Auburn: Rushed for 125 yards and the winning score in overtime in his first career start.

■ TB Leonard Fournette, LSU: Scored all three of the Tigers’ TDs in a victory at Mississippi State.

■ QB Chad Kelly, Mississippi: Threw for 346 yards and four TDs as the Rebels blasted Fresno State.

STAT OF THE WEEK

1. Alabama: Handled business against Middle Tennessee and owns a solid neutral-field victory over Wisconsin.

(Last week: 1)

Auburn Tigers running back Peyton Barber (25) celebrates with fullback Kamryn Pettway (36) after scoring the winning touchdown during overtime against Jacksonville State Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. ALBERT CESARE/THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER VIA AP

Auburn wants to bounce back from a near-loss, LSU wants to announce that it’s an SEC contender KEYS FOR AUBURN Account for Fournette: Easier said than done, but Auburn’s path to victory becomes much easier if it can contain Louisiana State tailback Leonard Fournette (below). The sophomore rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries in last week’s 21-19 victory at Mississippi State. LSU’s passing game remains, at best, a work in a progress, which means Fournette figures to receive a healthy workload against top-level opponents.

Forget Jacksonville State: Yes, the Tigers’ 27-20 overtime victory over an FCS team was underwhelming, and it certainly suggests Auburn might not be as good as anticipated. But here’s the reality: If the Tigers are sitting at 13-0 or 12-1 on Selection Sunday, that near-miss won’t matter nearly as much as earning a bunch of high-level victories. There’s plenty for Auburn to work on, especially earning defensive stops after allowing 28 first downs last week. But that game didn’t doom the Tigers’ season.

LSU’s alley, since it averaged 5.7 yards per carry and had the better of possession time against Mississippi State. The best thing coordinator Cam Cameron’s offense can do is work the clock and string together long drives.

Establish the pass: Yes, it’s a bit counterintuitive given the need to control the ball, but Auburn and defensive coordinator Will Muschamp figure to make it difficult for LSU to thrive as a one-dimensional team. QB Brandon Harris was 9 of 14 for 71 yards against Mississippi State, but he might need to be more than a handoff machine to help secure another victory this week.

PREDICTION Louisiana State 20-17. This game is much more of a referendum on Auburn than it is Louisiana State, which earned a solid road victory in fairly typical fashion last week. Auburn has fended off a Louisville team that’s now 0-2 and barely survived an FCS team at home. Can Gus Malzahn’s bunch claim Auburn’s first victory in Baton Rouge since 1999? It’s going to take a far better performance than the last two weeks. Look for LSU to survive with its ground-and-pound approach.

KEYS FOR LOUISIANA STATE Value possession: Jacksonville State showed it was possible to keep the Auburn offense off the field, maintaining possession for a whopping 36:23 against what was supposed to be one of the nation’s best teams. That’s right up

South Carolina at No. 7 Georgia

Florida at Kentucky

When: 9:15 p.m. EDT Saturday Where: Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, Ala. TV: ESPN Notes: It’s the conference opener for what might turn out to be the two best teams in the loaded SEC West.

Alabama TB Derrick Henry has rushed for three touchdowns in back-to-back games to open the season, and dating back to last season has Coker averaged 7.5 yards per run in his last four games for the Crimson Tide (2-0). Meanwhile, QB Jacob Coker threw for 214 yards, a touchdown and an interception in last week’s 37-10 defeat of Middle Tennessee. Mississippi (2-0), which hadn’t scored 70 points in a game since 1935 coming into the season, has done so in back-to-back games with junior college transfer Chad Kelly at quarterback and is coming off a 73-21 shredding of Fresno State.

When: 6 p.m. EDT Saturday Where: Sanford Stadium, Athens, Ga. TV: ESPN Notes: With South Carolina (1-1, 0-1 SEC) struggling to dispatch North Carolina and then falling to Kentucky, this traditional early-season SEC East matchup has lost a little of its luster. Nonetheless, the Gamecocks have won four of the last five in the series to put a dent Chubb in Georgia’s conference title hopes on a nearly annual basis. The Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0) opened league play with a defeat of Vanderbilt and boast the nation’s No. 4 rusher in Nick Chubb, who has 309 yards on just 35 carries this season. Georgia has allowed just 75 rushing yards per game, but will be tested by a South Carolina running attack averaging 224.5 yards per game.

When: 7:30 p.m. EDT Saturday Where: Commonwealth Stadium, Lexington, Ky. TV: SEC Network Notes: As much as Florida and new coach Jim McElwain would like an instant turnaround, the Gators (2-0) stitched together a 31-24 victory last week over East Carolina that McElwain looked very much like the sort Will Muschamp’s teams earned — superb defense (minus-13 rushing yards allowed, the fewest yielded

by Florida since 1998) and spotty offense that proved to be enough to survive. The Gators might need to do better against Kentucky (2-0, 1-0 SEC), which is seeking its first 3-0 start since 2010 after fending off South Carolina to win its first game outside of Lexington since the 2011 season opener.

5. Louisiana St.: The Tigers (1-0) won at Mississippi State in their belated opener, a victory with plenty of value.
