County hosting cleanup

Son’s search for his father leads to veteran BY L.A. STORY

lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County wants resident to roll up their sleeves and do some spring cleaning. Planning has begun for a county-wide cleanup day to be held Saturday, April 14. Volunteers are being sought, and the five municipalities are encouraged to get involved, as well. Keep CorinthAlcorn Beautiful is also assisting in launching the plans for a big volunteer effort. “It really irritates me the amount of trash and litter we have on the sides of our roads,� said Chancery Clerk Greg Younger. “I’m hoping that we might bring some attention to it and start some education about it.� The county is seeking volunteer commitments from churches, school groups, civic clubs and all interested citizens to help pick up and dispose of trash. Second District Supervisor James Voyles has hosted cleanup days in his district and finds it makes an impression on the youth who participate. “It really targets a behavior that they may acquire unknowingly,� he said. The supervisors face a challenge in keeping county roads free of litter. “I have several calls every

It seemed like a simple letter sent by registered mail. However, when the envelope was opened the contents were life-altering. For Corinth residents Billy and Rhonda English, this life-altering letter came in August. It was sent from 47-year-old California resident Quang Nguyen and had a jarring statement for Vietnam veteran Billy English – “I am looking for my father.â€? In the letter, Nguyen stated who he was and asked if English was the same Billy English who was in Vietnam in 1969-70, Mrs. English explained. “Quang was doing some research on ancestry.com. He had put his DNA in Ancestry and had connected with one of Billy’s cousins from Jumpertown as a second or third cousin. He had tried to contact her through Ancestry, but she had passed away at the first of the year,â€? she said. She said Nguyen began the process around April, so he never got a response from English’s cousin. His cousin had done an extensive family tree on Ancestry. When Nguyen didn’t hear from her, he searched the family tree to see who was in Vietnam and English was the only one of their family who had served there. Thus, he contacted English. “His [Nguyen] mother had passed away when he was about a year old and he had no family. A lady took him in that was a caretaker for him and his mother and kept him while his mother worked. He stayed with that family ‌ six siblings, no father in-

A pair of local residents face drug charges following recent traffic stops. Adrian Dixon, 31, of Norwood Street in Corinth, was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of crack cocaine and possession of methamphetamine. Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell reports Dixon was a passenger in a vehicle stopped on Highway 356 East in Rienzi for a traffic violation by Deputy Chris Settlemires. During the stop Dixon was found to be in possession of approximately 1.6 grams of crack cocaine, 0.3 grams of methamphetamine and a Rossi .38 caliber pistol. He was arrested and transported to the Alcorn County Jail where he remained Saturday morning on a $20,000 bond. In a separate, unrelated arrest, Cynthia Quintero, 44, of County Road 209, Burnsville, was arrested Thursday, Nov. 9 and charged with possession of methamphetamine. Caldwell said Quintero was driving on Alcorn County Road 306 when Deputy Bryon Parker stopped her for a traffic vioPlease see DRUGS | 2A

Mary Cain: Star quilter

Today in History

The Needle Chasers Quilt Guild of Tishomingo Co. met recently in Iuka where Mary Cain from Golden was the star of the meeting. Ms. Cain is a well-loved member of this organization and is recognized as the oldest active member. When she retired as a nurse anesthetist some years ago she began to learn about quilting. Though known for her yoyo quilts, Ms. Cain showed approximately 15 quilts of all types — yo-yo, pieced nine patch, pieced string blocks on a foundation and numerous applique quilts. All of her work is done by hand as she can’t seem to master the sewing machine.One of the favorites is the teapot quilt with all different shapes of colorful teapots appliqued to background blocks. Ms. Cain stated she has made 36 quilts but has given most of them away to family members. After showing and telling the members about the quilts she brought, Mrs. Kathleen Robinson, Program CoChairwoman, presented Ms. Cain with a red imprinted ribbon designating her a star quilter. The ribbon will attach to her membership nametag. Ms. Cain is proof that is it never too late to learn something new. She did and fell in love with the art of quilting and the quilting members.

Today is Sunday, Nov. 19, the 323rd day of 2017. There are 42 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On Nov. 19, 1997, Iowa seamstress Bobbi McCaughey gave birth to the world’s first set of surviving septuplets, four boys and three girls.

On this date In 1794, the United States and Britain signed Jay’s Treaty, which resolved some issues left over from the Revolutionary War. In 1831, the 20th president of the United States, James Garfield, was born in Orange Township, Ohio. In 1850, Alfred Tennyson was invested as Britain’s poet laureate. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln dedicated a national cemetery at the site of the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. In 1917, Indira Gandhi, daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru and, like her father, a future prime minister of India, was born in Allahabad. In 1924, movie producer Thomas H. Ince died after celebrating his 42nd birthday aboard the yacht of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. (The exact circumstances of Ince’s death remain a mystery.)

Mary Cain was the guest speaker for the Needle Chasers quilt guild.

Opinion

Reece Terry, publisher

Roy Moore is pure Steve Bannon Roy Moore is the Steve Bannon project in a nutshell. For the former Trump operative, the Alabama Senate candidate’s tattered credibility is a feature, not a bug. If Moore had well-considered Rich political and legal views, good Lowry judgment and a sterling reputation, he’d almost by definiNational tion be part of the establishReview ment that Bannon so loathes. Since Moore has none of those things, he’s nearly an ideal representative of the Bannon insurgency. Events in Alabama make it clear that Bannon’s dime-store Leninism -- burn everything down, including perhaps the Republican Senate majority -- comes at a considerable cost. In this enterprise, the truth and standards don’t matter. Being anti-establishment is an escape clause from personal responsibility, and #war means proudly defending the indefensible. It’s no accident that Bannon ended up joined at the hip to the one Republican in the state of Alabama who might be capable of losing a Senate race. Bannon went out of his way to associate himself with Moore, and to make the former judge -- twice jettisoned from the state’s highest court -- a poster boy for his style of politics. Even before the latest revelations, Moore was a stereotype of a witless, conspiracyminded Southern demagogue. At best, he was Sharron Angle -- the accidental Republican candidate who lost to Harry Reid in 2010 -- except running in what appeared to be an unlosable seat. The recent revelations of financial improprieties (Moore took an undisclosed salary from a nonprofit, despite his denials) and accusations of sexual misconduct suggest he is wholly Angle’s inferior. There are two options in terms of Bannon’s role in Alabama. If he’s the Svengali he portrays himself as, he’s falling down on the job. It appears Bannon didn’t do thorough oppo on his own candidate, a standard professional practice, and couldn’t prevail on Moore to get his story straight before talking to the media. Then there’s the option that Bannon is simply a glorified bystander in Alabama, which is consistent with the fact that Moore would have almost certainly won the primary with or without Bannon’s support. Bannon’s reputation, of course, depends on his role as Donald Trump’s chief strategist. The genius in the Trump operation, though, wasn’t Bannon; it was Trump, whose power as a communicator, gut-level political instincts and celebrity overcame his manifest failings in a race against a Democratic opponent who proved one of the worst candidates in modern presidential history. Ultimately, Bannon is a barnacle on the Trump brand, although one that can’t get his story straight. Sometimes he says the Trump administration is effectively over, in which case he’s implicitly saying that his erstwhile boss abandoned his voters within a year of taking office. Bannon doesn’t dare follow this thought through to its logical conclusion. Instead, he inveighs against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. If Moore were in the Senate, he’d presumably be a reliable Republican vote like any other Alabama senator. The only difference is that he hates McConnell. Is that worth the reputational risk to the party of being associated with such a compromised figure? If there is a new Republican Senate leader in the next Congress, he sure as hell isn’t going to be a bomb thrower (Senate leaders never are). So what’s the point? Apparently to find an unbelievably checkered collection of Senate candidates, and to put Senate seats at risk by nominating them, no matter what their electoral appeal or vulnerabilities. Steve Bannon wants as many Roy Moores as possible.

Prayer for today Loving Father, I pray that thou wilt help me to overcome unhappiness. May I not let depression overpower me, but claim the promises of joy that are open to every life. May I be blest by my own cheerfulness and encourage others to possess it. Amen.

A verse to share Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. —1 Thessalonians 5:18

Corinth, Miss.

Will setbacks unite the Republican Party? The inexorable workings of the political marketplace seem to be enforcing some discipline over hitherto fissiparous Republican politicians. The question is whether this is happening too late to save the party’s declining prospects in the 2018 midterm elections. You can see this in Republicans’ reactions to the tax bills Congress is currently considering. Last spring, when the party’s congressional leadership teed up its health care bills, purportedly repealing and replacing Obamacare, they faced rebellions from practically every corner of their party’s caucuses. In the House, the Freedom Caucus trotted out one criticism after another. This is in line with standard practice, going back at least to October 2013, when Freedom Caucus types, heeding newly elected Senator Ted Cruz’s calls to defund Obamacare, produced a government shutdown that sent the party, predictably, plummeting in the polls. House Republican rebels made purist arguments, cited pledges never to vote for government expansion, called for constitutional conservatism. They chided Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell for insufficient

boldness, seemingly forgetting that the Constitution gave President Barack Michael Obama a Barone veto. N o w Columnist things look different. With Republicans holding the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress, the purism that resulted in defeat of the House’s first attempt at Obamacare revision, followed by the defeat of a second in the Senate, leaves Republicans double-digits behind Democrats on the generic which-party-wouldyou-back question. Democrats’ big victories in the Virginia and New Jersey governor races also struck a chord. These states, dominated by high-education suburbs in major metro areas, tilt more Democratic than the nation. But Republicans have been losing legislative special elections even in red-state districts. So just about all the erstwhile rebels are suddenly supporting Speaker Paul Ryan’s tax bill, even though it’s easy to find complex provisions to which purists could object. They’ve discovered that in the American political marketplace,

whose rules usually limit competition to two parties, a majority party that can’t perform is liable to severe punishment. But for some -- notably former White House advisor Steve Bannon -- the point is not to win, but to oust the current Republican leadership. Just as California billionaire Tom Steyer conditions contributions on pledges to vote for impeachment, so former Goldman Sachs exec Bannon requires pledges to vote for ouster of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. That left him endorsing, apparently with no visible effect, Roy Moore in the special election Republican runoff for the Alabama Senate seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Moore, a dim bulb, was twice ousted from the state Supreme Court for disobeying a federal court order and the Supreme Court decision proclaiming a right to same-sex marriage. His stands proved popular with many evangelical voters. But his argument, that the order and decision were wrong, shows either ignorance of the supremacy clause in Article VI of the United States Constitution or a commitment to lawlessness that is the opposite of conservatism. But all that has been

pushed to the side after last week’s Washington Post story that as a 30-something lawyer, Moore had at least one sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl and pursued four other teens; this week came charges of sexual harassment by another. Polls have shown him losing ground and even trailing against a respectable Democratic candidate in a state that Trump carried 62 to 34 percent. Republican senators, including McConnell and Alabama’s Richard Shelby, have responded by saying he should withdraw from the race. His name can’t legally be removed from the Dec. 12 ballot, but there is speculation about a writein campaign for Luther Strange, the appointee he beat in the runoff, or even Sessions. No possible outcome looks helpful for beleaguered Republicans now. Unless, perhaps, Republican politicians -- and voters -- heed the signals in the political marketplace and reject Steve Bannon’s burnthe-barn-down strategy.

Learning program expands across state BY CHRISTI WEBB Guest Columnist

A unique multi-generation learning program aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable families is spreading across Mississippi and should reach all 82 counties by January. The goal: to elevate families out of poverty by empowering parents with the skills and confidence to improve their life situations. Learning is extended beyond school walls and into daily routines, such as a trip to the store, time at the dinner table, or just time alone between parent and child. The approach is known as Gen+ by the Mississippi Department of Human Services (DHS), and is incorporated into a program called Families First for Mississippi. The services are being provided by the Family Resource Center of North Mississippi and the Mississippi Community Education Center. A particularly satisfying aspect for the Family Resource Center is that we have been partnering with the National Center for Families Learning (NCFL) to provide services to two generations of family members under Toyota’s Family Learning initiative for over a year. Gen+ and

the NCFL/ Toyota approach are identical in the focus on more than just an individual family member but the family as a whole. In the past, social service agencies like ours saw that clients were becoming dependent on the system rather than gaining independence. Now, we are focusing on the entire family with the intent to change not only the individual, but, also, the culture of the family. Through Families First for Mississippi and DHS’ Gen+ approach, we will also be providing free classes for literacy, parenting, life skills, workforce development and education services for the whole family based upon each family member’s need and desire for success. All services are free to participants who will be assessed to determine needs, and there is no wait time – families can begin immediately. Recently, 100 Families First for Mississippi staff came together for a threeday training session conducted by the highly respected National Center for Families Learning. NCFL and Toyota have a long track record together, bringing this successful approach

to over 2 million families across the U.S since 1989. We have seen great results from the multi-generational approach. One of those success stories is Kim, a 32-year-old single mother whose 6-year-old daughter has a hearing impairment and Addison’s disease. Before enrolling in the twogeneration program, Kim became very frustrated with her daughter’s behavior in school and at home. She credits NCFL Family Learning for teaching her the skills she needed to help her child with homework, encourage positive behavior and to build a positive relationship. Meantime, Kim, who was receiving government assistance due to a job loss, is now living independently and working full time as an administrative secretary at a mental health center. She is also pursuing a degree in office administration. In addition to gaining skills to help their children succeed in and outside the classroom, parents also are instructed in the areas of technology, English language, self-efficacy, interpersonal communications, problem-solving, and time management. These employability skills prove ex-

tremely valuable as they look to either join the workforce or go after a better job. Finally, children participating with their parents in Family Service Learning will see the application of their education firsthand on their own pathway to success. Also, they are more likely to grow up and serve their own communities by following their parents’ example. This approach to Family Service Learning empowers families to become a part of the solution to their own communities’ problems. I feel very strongly that this program will reap great rewards – it will help pull families out of poverty. However, for it to work and grow, we will need the support of not only DHS, Families First and NCFL, but, also, other non-profit groups, volunteers, government leadership and ordinary Mississippians who want to see their fellow citizens succeed. Anyone interested in learning more about this program, please call us at 662-844-0013 or visit us at FamiliesFirstforMS.org. Christi Webb is executive director of the Family Resource Center of North Mississippi, a chapter of Families First for Mississippi.

The pictures of Nguyen were a revelation all their own. “It was such an astonishing resemblance to Billy’s older brother,” said Mrs. English. “My heart tried to quit on me when I saw the picture … he could have been my brother’s twin,” said English. English’s brother, Quindon English, was known to everyone as “Homer.” English’s only sibling, Homer English was seven years older than English and had served in Korea. He passed away 31 years ago. The two men began to exchange e-mails and Nguyen sent English a kit from Ancestry to perform a DNA test. It came back a 99.7 percent match that English was his father. “That just made it official,” said English. During that time, English and his wife kept the

news to themselves until they had confirmation. Once that happened they knew it was time to tell their children. In December, Billy and Rhonda English will celebrate their 37th anniversary. English has a son, Bruce English, 44. Bruce English is retired from the Navy and lives in Virginia Beach, Va. English and his wife have a daughter together, Ashley Quinn, 34, who lives in Youngsville, N.C. English had made some furniture for his daughter, who was having a house built, so he used that as an excuse to travel to North Carolina to see her and give her the news. The couple didn’t want to share news of this magnitude with the kids over the phone or via text, said Mrs. English. They said both of their other adult children took the news well after the initial shock. “We knew it was a lot. We had adjusted to this over a period of time, but they had to deal with it all really quick,” said English. He said his son was shocked, but has ended up being very supportive and understanding. Mrs. English said after their daughter adjusted to the news, she was thrilled and excited and couldn’t wait to meet her newly found brother.

For Nguyen, once the DNA test results came back, they all decided to Facetime the whole family. Nguyen’s face filled the screen and everybody cried. He said, “Hey, Mom and Dad.” Getting a sudden new family member was a big adjustment, English said. “We have felt emotions from way down low to way up high and this journey up to now has finally smoothed out. Early on, I was scared to death … I sort of didn’t really know how to feel. I would think about him living his whole life without any parent … without brothers or sisters and I’d just get so sad about that and then I would get excited because I can be a dad to him now and he can be a son to me … now, he’s got somebody,” said English. “We just looked at it like we can’t do anything about the past 47 years, but we can make a difference from now on for him,” said Mrs. English. English reached over and caressed his wife’s shoulder. “Rhonda has been 100 percent supportive from day one or I wouldn’t have made it. She’s my rock,” he said. Mrs. English stepped in and was ready to love Nguyen. She said Bruce English was seven when she and English married. She said she had the same statement for their new-found son as she did for Bruce English. “I’m not his [Nguyen’s] blood mother. I said, ‘I’m not here to replace your mother, but I will love you like your mom,’” said Mrs. English.

The next step was meeting in person. Billy and Rhonda English, along with their daughter, flew to Los Angeles to meet Nguyen and his family. Mrs. English said English’s son also wanted to come at the time, but was away on vacation. The reunion was emotional, but the couple said all the pieces of their new family puzzle just seemed to fall into place. “When we got there, it felt very natural. Just like family,” said English. Mrs. English said, “We laughed and we cried and it was just like we had gone to see family that we just hadn’t seen in a while.” Now, Nguyen has family outside the one he had created. Mrs. English said he was so happy and enjoyed introducing them to his in-laws and friends as his dad, his mom and his sister. As for English, he said there were so many things that added to the sense of the familiar about Nguyen. He said he was sitting across from his new-found son for breakfast during their visit and it was like sitting across from his brother back when they were younger. He said Nguyen even has some of his late uncle’s mannerisms. Mrs. English said she saw him do things that reminded her of English’s father. There continue to be adjustments, but the couple indicated that it has been interesting, blending in with new family members – along with a new culture. The couple attends church at Oakland Bap-

he knew things could have gone the other way. He personally knew of one other family where something similar occurred and said it tore the family apart. However, his friends and family have chosen to be loving and supportive. “Two of my best friends … the first thing out of their mouths was ‘God doesn’t make mistakes.’ What happened … this could be considered a mistake, an accident or it shouldn’t have happened, but as they said God doesn’t make mistakes … He has a plan,” said English. Mrs. English said, “We want to make a difference. We want to make it a Godthing. God has opened this door to be able to use us in their lives and that’s what we will do. I think that’s part of why this has all been so joyous is that we’re not looking back at what had happened … we’re looking forward to what can happen.”

tist Church and they say news of their new-found son has been met with love and kindness. English put his arms up as if embracing the air in front of him to indicate how their church family and friends have reacted. “Everyone has been so positive and reached their arms around us. Everyone wants to meet them,” said English. They are making future plans as Nguyen and his family will make the trip to Mississippi in December. There are often new and fun realizations as they adjust. One was Bruce English’s exclamation that he was “now a middle child” instead of the oldest, Mrs. English said, with a laugh. One evening, while watching television, it hit her that they have more grandchildren and she immediately told English they would need more Christmas stockings. She has already got them ordered.

Trump delays policy on elephant trophies BY DONNA CASSATA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said he’s delaying a new policy allowing trophies of African elephants shot for sport to be imported until he can review “all conservation facts.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Thursday it would allow such importation, arguing that encouraging wealthy big-game hunters to kill the threatened species would help raise money for conservation programs. Animal rights advocates and environmental groups criticized the decision. California Rep. Ed Royce, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, urged the administration to reverse the policy, calling it the “wrong move at the wrong time.” Trump tweeted Friday that the policy had been “under study for years.” He said he would put the decision “on hold” and review it with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Zinke issued a statement later Friday saying: “President Trump and I have talked and both believe that conservation and healthy herds are critical. As a result, in a manner compliant with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the issuing of permits is being

put on hold as the decision is being reviewed.” U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, a Florida Republican who co-chairs the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, on Saturday said Trump’s delay was a “step in the right direction,” but more needs to be done to protect the species from extinction. In his statement, Buchanan called the sport hunting of African elephants “shameful” and said the U.S. should support a permanent ban. Royce questioned the action because of concerns not only about African wildlife but U.S. national security, citing the political upheaval in Zimbabwe, where the longtime president was placed under house arrest this week by the military. “The administration should withdraw this decision until Zimbabwe stabilizes,” the committee chairman said in a statement. “Elephants and other big game in Africa are blood currency for terrorist organizations, and they are being killed at an alarming rate. Stopping poaching isn’t just about saving the world’s most majestic animals for the future — it’s about our national security.” The Fish and Wildlife Service said in a written notice issued Thursday that permitting parts of

elephants from Zimbabwe and Zambia to be brought back as trophies will raise money for conservation programs. The change marks a shift in efforts to stop the importation of elephant tusks and hides, overriding a 2014 ban imposed by the Obama administration. The new policy applies to the remains of African elephants killed between January 2016 and December 2018. “Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program can benefit certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve those species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation,” the agency said in a statement. Royce said that when carefully regulated, conservation hunts could help the wildlife population, but “that said, this is the wrong move at the wrong time.” He described the perilous situation in Zimbabwe, where the U.S. Embassy has advised Americans to limit their travel outdoors. “In this moment of turmoil, I have zero confidence that the regime — which for years has promoted corruption at the highest levels — is properly managing and regulating conservation programs,” Royce said.

BY JAY REEVES Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A leading figure among religious liberals says the candidacy of Republican Roy Moore for U.S. Senate is a struggle for the “soul of the nation.” The remarks Saturday by the Rev. William J. Barber come a day after a letter signed by dozens of progressive pastors in Alabama said Moore — dogged by recent allegations of inappropriate conduct toward teenage girls decades ago — is unfit to serve. Barber, former head of the North Carolina NAACP, spoke at an antiMoore rally at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, that drew more than 100 people. The event was in direct contrast to a news conference Thursday during which religious conservatives expressed their commitment to Moore, who describes himself as a conservative Christian who hews to family values. Signs carried by Moore

opponents at Saturday’s rally decried his opposition to gay and transgender rights. Moore was also criticized for opposing federally backed health care, assistance for the needy and more. Barber and other speakers claimed Moore’s campaign is fueled by a perversion of Christianity linked with white supremacy, and Moore is trying to take those forces to the Senate. “What is happening now in Alabama matters for the soul of the nation,” said Barber, of Goldsboro, North Carolina, and the force behind the “Moral Monday” protest movement that calls for greater rights for gays and minorities. On Friday, more than 50 Alabama pastors signed a public letter stating Moore isn’t fit to serve in the U.S. Senate. The letter continued to collect signatures Saturday. The letter says Moore demonstrated “extremist values” incompatible with traditional Christianity even before recent allega-

tions of sexual misconduct involving young women. The pastors cite Moore’s opposition to the expansion of Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor. It also accuses him of denigrating people from other countries and faiths and cites his opposition to homosexuality. The letter was written by a group of pastors in Birmingham. It includes the signatures of ministers from mainstream and liberal denominations including Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, the United Church of Christ and some moderate Baptists. Moore still enjoys the support of conservative evangelical leaders, but he has ignored mounting calls from Washington Republicans concerned that if he stays in the race he may not only lose a seat they were sure to win but also may do significant damage to the party’s brand among women nationwide as they prepare for a difficult midterm election season.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Slain officer’s gun found in lot where he was shot BALTIMORE — Investigators recovered the gun of a slain Baltimore homicide detective from the gritty lot where he was shot, and have determined that it was fired more than once, a top police official said Friday. Ballistic tests show that recovered shell casings were matched to the recovered firearm, Commissioner Kevin Davis told a news conference at police headquarters. When asked if it was possible that the officer was shot with his own gun, Davis said authorities are “looking at every possibility.” “We only recovered one gun from the scene. That doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a second gun,” Davis said. An autopsy has not been completed for Sean Suiter, an 18year veteran of the department, the commissioner said. Suiter, 43, died at a hospital Thursday, less than 24 hours after he was shot in the head while working on a case in West Baltimore, a rough neighborhood of vacant lots and boarded-up row houses. A vigorous manhunt and a hefty reward that stood at $190,000 Friday has not led to any arrests. But Davis said tips are steadily coming in and detectives are following leads. Baltimore investigators are being assisted by federal agents.

Subway conductors in New York to use gender-neutral terms NEW YORK — When it comes to the New York City subways, there’s no such thing as ladies and gentlemen. Conductors on subway trains have been told to stop addressing passengers as “ladies and gentlemen” when making announcements about delays, detours or other things, and instead use the genderneutral terms “passengers,” ‘‘riders,” and “everyone.” The new train announcement scripts are part of an effort by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to improve communication with passengers frustrated with having to deal with a system troubled with delays, mechanical failures and even derailments. Conductors have also been instructed to give subway riders more information about delays, departing from a longtime practice of making sparse announcements that sometimes obscure the real reason a train isn’t moving. A lack of straightforward info, officials say, can leave passengers wondering if they should ride it out, transfer trains or get out and hail a cab.

Honda recalls 900,000 minivans NEW YORK — Honda is recalling about 900,000 of its Odyssey minivans because the second-row seats may tip forward if not properly latched. The recall announced Saturday covers ve-

hicles from the 2011-17 model years. About 800,000 of the affected minivans were sold in the United States. Honda says it has received 46 reports of minor injuries related to the issue. It says the Odyssey’s second-row seat may tip forward during moderate to heavy braking if it isn’t properly latched after adjusting it sideto-side or reinstalling a removed seat. The company is working on a way to repair the issue and says it will notify owners when one is available. It will be free. Until then, Honda has put instructions for properly latching the seat on its website for owners.

Lawyers: Former fire chief fired due to religious views ATLANTA — An attorney for a former Atlanta fire chief argued in court Friday that his client was let go for his religious beliefs, but lawyers for the city disputed that. Kelvin Cochran wrote a book called “Who Told You That You Were Naked?” for a men’s Bible study and selfpublished it in late 2013. He gave copies to about a dozen subordinates who he said had requested copies or who he knew shared his religious beliefs. He was fired in January 2015 and filed a federal lawsuit against the city and Mayor Kasim Reed, saying his free speech and dueprocess rights had been violated. U.S. District Judge Leigh May on Friday heard arguments in the case.

Insurer: Shouldn’t pay for building collapse MCCOMB — An insurer says it shouldn’t have to pay for the collapse of a building in a southwest Mississippi city. Hudson Specialty Insurance has sued in federal court in Natchez to nullify its policy, saying the policy was voided after the building owner took money from a previous claim but didn’t complete needed repairs, The Enterprise-Journal reported . The City of McComb sued earlier, seeking $370,000 spent on cleaning up debris after the building’s July 23 collapse. Both the city and Hudson say Terrance Alexander, who bought the building in 2014 and operated Jubilee Performing Arts Center there, had been warned that roof drains were clogged and the roof was about to fall in. Alexander, who denies those claims, transferred ownership to Talex LLC in 2016. That’s who Hudson was insuring. The collapse of downtown McComb’s largest building sent bricks toppling onto city streets, and the city cordoned off the surrounding area as contractors tore down the top two floors of the building, which officials feared could fall at any time and cause more damage or injury. Downtown streets and some businesses in the area were closed for nearly three weeks. As part of its lawsuit, Hudson said it shouldn’t have to pay for lost income or damages of more than a dozen busi-

Cellmate convicted in death of Choctaw Indian tribe member PHILADELPHIA — A cellmate has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of a Choctaw tribal member. A Neshoba County jury convicted Justyn Schlegel, 36, in the July 2015 death of Rexdale Henry. The 53-year-old member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians was found dead in the Neshoba County jail in July 2015 from blunt force trauma. The Neshoba Democrat reports Chief Medical Examiner Mark Levaughn testified Henry had broken bones, a lacerated spleen and lacerated diaphragm, and couldn’t have survived more than five hours. Defense attorney Rosalind Jordan said Schlegel had no reason to kill Henry, and suggested Henry was injured when jailers pushed him. Assistant District Attorney Chris Posey told jurors that the pushes didn’t line up with the evidence. Schlegel will be sentenced Nov. 27.

State starts work on $150 million highway widening RICHLAND — Mississippi officials have started on a $150 million project to rebuild and widen a congested suburban highway. The Mississippi Department of Transportation will expand an

Utilities have already been moving power poles, but construction started this week on removing old curbs and gutters and widening shoulders to maintain four lanes of traffic during construction. After that, contractors will install new culverts and improve intersections. Finally, the existing pavement will be rebuilt. Department of Transportation Executive Director Melinda McGrath says lane closures will be timed to take place overnight and avoid holidays. The project is expected to conclude within three years.

Tesla wants to electrify trucks, adding to ambition BY DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Auto Writer

DETROIT — After more than a decade of making cars and SUVs — and, more recently, solar panels — Tesla Inc. wants to electrify a new type of vehicle: big trucks. The company unveiled its new electric semitractor-trailer Thursday night near its design center in Hawthorne, California. CEO Elon Musk said the semi is capable of traveling 500 miles on an electric charge — even with a full 80,000-pound load — and will cost less than a diesel semi considering fuel savings, lower maintenance and other factors. Musk said customers can put down a $5,000 deposit for the semi now and production will begin in 2019. “We’re confident that this is a product that’s better in every way from a feature standpoint,” Musk

told a crowd of Tesla fans gathered for the unveiling. Musk didn’t reveal the semi’s price. Even so, the company already is starting to get orders. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, said in a statement Friday that it has pre-ordered five Tesla units in its Walmart U.S. division and 10 units at Walmart Canada. Midwest retailer Meijer said it has reserved four trucks. And Arkansas trucking company J.B. Hunt said it has reserved “multiple” tractors that it will deploy on the West Coast but didn’t specify how many. The truck will have Tesla’s Autopilot system, which can maintain a set speed and slow down automatically in traffic. It also has a system that automatically keeps the vehicle in its lane. Musk said several Tesla semis will be

able to travel in a convoy, autonomously following each other. Musk said Tesla plans a worldwide network of solar-powered “megachargers” that could get the trucks back up to 400 miles of range after charging for only 30 minutes. The move fits with Musk’s stated goal for the company of accelerating the shift to sustainable transportation. Trucks account for nearly a quarter of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., according to government statistics. But the semi also piles on more chaos at the Palo Alto, California-based company. Tesla is way behind on production of the Model 3, a new lowercost sedan, with some customers facing waits of 18 months or more. It’s also ramping up production of solar panels after buy-

ing Solar City Corp. last year. Tesla is working on a pickup truck and a lowercost SUV and negotiating a new factory in China. Meanwhile, the company posted a record quarterly loss of $619 million in its most recent quarter. On Thursday night, Tesla surprised fans with another product: An updated version of its first sports car, the Roadster. Tesla says the new Roadster will have 620 miles of range and a top speed of 250 mph. The car, coming in 2020, will have a base price of $200,000. Musk, too, is being pulled in many directions. He leads rocket maker SpaceX and is dabbling in other projects, including high-speed transit, artificial intelligence research and a new company that’s digging tunnels beneath Los Angeles to alleviate traffic congestion.

The juicy gossip it contains has made the book a bestseller.” His comment confirms what we all know: With shameful regularity, gossip attracts even the most virtuous souls, and for those of us nowhere close to being in the most-virtuous-souls category, its appeal reaches intoxicating proportions. And, just like liquid intoxicants, gossip generates hangovers of a sort. After gulping down baseless hearsay and garnishing it into execrable exaggeration, gossipers confirm what English poet Alexander Pope once said: “And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it made enlargements too.” Bad gossip and good storytelling share a characteristic that makes the former more injurious and the latter more interesting: Malicious gossip enthralls listeners; sensationalized storytelling enthralls readers — both for the same reason: Listeners and readers want to know more. To illustrate this similarity and to demonstrate gossip’s deleterious potential, students in my creative writing

course designed a gossip project.. First they drew names to determine who would be the project’s target. Candace was the unlucky victim. Then they invented nasty pieces of gossip about her and passed them on to other students, who in turn added their own embellishments. Although everyone, including Candace, thought the project was enjoyable and educational, they realized that if any of the contributions had been truthful, they would have severely damaged the targeted individual’s reputation; combined, they would have destroyed it. By the time the exercise had circulated through the whole class, what had begun as a mere ripple of hilarious hearsay evolved into an avalanche of aspersions. Students used such expressions as, “You are not going to believe what I heard about Candace!” which generated such responses as, “I always suspected she was lowlife trailer trash.” Had the project been real instead of staged, those too gullible to doubt the false claims would have been convinced that Candace shouldn’t be allowed to continue roaming the streets and tainting society. If only gossiping worked the other way! But gossip cannot be about goodness.. People

don’t gossip about other people’s virtues, a truth reaffirmed a few days later, as I walked into a mall to Christmas shop and was hailed by a familiar voice. “Hello, Mr. Reed.” It was Candace, wearing a Salvation Army apron and jingling a bell, soliciting donations for the needy. “Good gracious, young lady, it is freezing out here! I hope someone takes your place soon.” “Yes, sir — my shift ends at four.” She had been standing there since eight that morning. I hugged the young woman, dropped money in her bucket and walked away, reminding myself to tell the creative writing class about Candace’s volunteer work. When I did, no one seemed interested, which proved the project’s point. Then I asked, “What is the ultimate lesson of this project?” No one ventured to surpass Candace’s response: “There’s no such thing as good gossip.” Jimmy Reed (jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com) is an Oxford, Mississippi resident, Ole Miss alumnus, Army veteran,

“He’s got so much on his plate right now. This could present another distraction from really just making sure that the Model 3 is moved along effectively,” said Bruce Clark, a senior vice president and automotive analyst at Moody’s. Tesla’s semi is venturing into an uncertain market. Demand for electric trucks is expected to grow over the next decade as the U.S., Europe and China all tighten their emissions

regulations. Electric truck sales totaled 4,100 in 2016, but are expected to grow to more than 70,000 in 2026, says Navigant Research. But most of that growth is expected to be for smaller, medium-duty haulers like garbage trucks or delivery vans. Those trucks can have a more limited range of 100 miles or less, which requires fewer expensive batteries. They can also be fully charged overnight.

Natural Gas Appliance Safety Tips A message from your natural gas provider, the City of Corinth Gas & Water Department…

Natural gas is an excellent source of energy for your home. It is economical, reliable and safe for the environment. Natural gas has a safety record that is outstanding, but like all sources of energy, it should be used wisely. Always put safety first when using natural gas appliances of any kind. If you notice the distinctive “rotten egg” smell of odorized natural gas or the sound of escaping gas and a line break is suspected, leave the area and call (662) 286-2263 or 911.

THESE TIPS WILL HELP MAKE YOUR HOME A SAFER PLACE: • Your appliances should have a bright blue flame when they are operating correctly. A clean flame means your appliances are efficiently burning and properly adjusted. Call a qualified contractor if you suspect your appliances are not operating properly. • Always have your appliance installed by a qualified contractor and follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe operation and care. • Do not store flammable materials or flammable liquids in any enclosure with a gas water heater; including gasoline, kerosene, propane or butane bottles, or cylinders. • Never use flammable solvents or cleaning agents on or around an operable gas appliance. • Gas appliance connectors should be periodically inspected for corrosion to avoid gas leaks. Move appliances carefully to avoid damaging connectors and do not reuse old connectors.

Dad who can’t drive loses connection to adult children

D E A R ABBY: My husband had a medical event that left him unable to drive. He is very Abigail isolated demy efVan Buren spite forts to keep him conDear Abby nected. His children live an hour away, and it’s up to me to drive him to them. They rarely call him. He has a stepdaughter who lives only a few miles from us. We reach out to her, but she also doesn’t have time for him. It’s ironic because she regularly ministers to strangers through her church while her stepfather languishes in loneliness. How deeply appreciated an offer to take this lonely old gentleman shopping, for a drive, or giving him a visit or a weekly phone call would be. What else can I do about this? — FRUSTRATED IN FLORIDA DEAR FRUSTRATED: I am sorry you didn’t mention how close your husband was to his children before the medical event. If they were close and have abandoned him, then shame on them.

I see no way for you to force them to make more of an effort to give their father the emotional support he needs. You can, however, depending upon how impaired he is, try to involve him in activities that don’t require being driven an hour away. If there’s a senior center near you, you might have more luck in keeping him less isolated if you reach out to them. DEAR ABBY: A group of friends and I go out for dinner. When the check arrives, we all have cash except for one woman who wants to pay her share with a credit card. She claims she “doesn’t know how much she owes” and tells the waiter to use her credit card to pay her share. Abby, she then pays only for her food and beverage, no tax and no tip! I have told her in the past to bring cash, but she won’t. I think it is unfair to the waiter to have to figure out how much she owes. When we tried to talk to her about it, she reacted like she was being attacked and went to other friends and got them to agree with “her side.” If anyone disagrees with her, she goes on and on until she either loses a friend or the person gives in and tells her she’s right.

How do we deal with someone like this? Should we just give up on her and end the friendship? — CHECK, PLEASE DEAR CHECK, PLEASE: I see no reason to give up on the friendship. Just stop having dinner with her if her behavior bothers you. DEAR ABBY: I’m 12 and I’m depressed. I have been depressed for a year now. I have not told my mom that I cry in the shower. Please guide me on what to do and help get me out of this dark hole. — SAD IN SAN DIEGO DEAR SAD: I’m so glad you wrote. It’s very important that you tell your mother or some other trusted adult that you are depressed, and how long this has been going on. You may need counseling or the intervention of some other adult to fix this problem. Please don’t wait, and please DO write again and let me know how you’re doing. I care. 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). Your heart is generous, and there’s a symmetry that forms out of your kindness. It’s as though your kindness draws its own mirror image as it goes, to breathtaking effect. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll delight people. You’ve a grand sense of showmanship and presentation, but you’ll use it judiciously so as not to steal attention from those who believe they need it, which would foster jealousy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s as if you can vividly feel the vibes of a person you’re close to. When the words you hear are different from the feeling with which those words are being said, go with the feeling. It won’t lie. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re still not sure what you want to do with your day, don’t let that stop you. Just move. An intelligence will take over -- the knowing under the knowing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A dream can pull you through hard times or boring moments.

A dream can fuel you, give you direction, stir up some joy. A dream can be the bond of a relationship. And the best part is that it costs nothing to dream. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your energy will be robust. You don’t want this to go to waste. That’s why communication is so important. Ask questions, even if it seems that you should already know or the answer should be obvious. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Nature is where it’s at. It will be interesting to watch how things grow and thrive, how other types of beings communicate, how other kinds of life adapt to challenges or suffer, as the case may be. Nature will be your great teacher. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Before you move forward with a purchase, you need to learn something. The time for learning is before the money is exchanged, of course. This is when there is the greatest incentive for both parties to be open to careful listening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One person helping can create a whole culture of helping. Furthermore, the neatness, attitude and general contribution of one person will make a big difference. That one person is you, of course. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The sea goat for which your sign is named is part mammal, part fish. It surfaces to breathe and then submerges to live, love, eat and fight. Similarly, today you’ll take a cleansing breath in one world to do work in another. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone is on the fence. A nudge could tip this situation either way. Do you really want to take that chance? If you care a lot about where this lands, a big gesture will be needed, not a little push. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A good mood meets fine timing and easy circumstances. You’ll be given special treatment, and there are no strings attached to this, either. It’s just your luck today.

Fitzgerald helps No. 17 Bulldogs top Arkansas The Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Nick Fitzgerald has established himself as nothing short of one of the Southeastern Conference’s top quarterbacks, if not the best, in his two seasons at the starter at Mississippi State. The Bulldogs junior added another moment to his growing legacy in Starkville on Saturday, rallying No. 17 Mississippi State (8-3, 4-3) for a 28-21 win over reeling Arkansas. Fitzgerald accounted for three touchdowns and totaled 254 yards in the win, finishing 12-of-23 passing for 153 yards and rushing 22 times for 101 yards. It wasn’t until he connected with Deddrick Thomas for a 6-yard touchdown with 17 seconds remaining, however, that the Bulldogs had their first lead of the game. The score capped the second game-winning drive in the fourth quarter of Fitzgerald’s career. His other came in a St. Petersburg Bowl win over Miami (Ohio) last season, a game in which the Bulldogs scored with more than 12 minutes remaining and held on for the vic-

Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald (7), shown here last week against Alabama, passed for 153 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 101 and another score in adverse weather conditions in Fayetteville to help the Bulldogs escape an early 14-0 hole and rally to beat Arkansas 28-21.

out there with full confidence and we knew we were going to punch it in.” The Bulldogs have now won at least eight games in a season for the fourth time in coach Dan Mullen’s nine years. They had already earned bowl eligibility for a school-record eighth straight season, but Saturday was a welcomed win a week after a disappointing loss to No. 1 Alabama . It came at the expense of an Arkansas (4-7, 1-6) team that’s now lost nine of its last 13 games, delivering yet another blow to the future of embattled Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema in the process. The former Wisconsin coach is now 29-33 overall in his fifth season at Arkansas, 11-28 in the SEC. “It’s horrible, it really, really is,” Razorbacks quarterback Austin Allen said. “You want to go out there and win the game for (Bielema). That’s what we wanted to do today. It didn’t happen for us. We were right there. We didn’t do enough.” The Razorbacks led by a Please see BULLDOGS | 12A

Texas A&M rallies to top Mississippi The Associated Press

OXFORD — Nick Starkel threw for 272 yards and a touchdown to lead Texas A&M past Mississippi 31-24 on Saturday night. Texas A&M (7-4, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) trailed 24-21 at halftime, but took a 28-24 lead in the third quarter on a pick-six by Derrick Tucker, who snared a Jordan Ta’amu pass and ran it back 19 yards for the touchdown. The Aggies never trailed again, using a stellar defense to hold the Rebels scoreless in the second half. Texas A&M’s Damion Ratley caught five passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. Starkel completed 19 of 32 passes and also ran for a 1-yard touchdown.

Ole Miss (5-6, 2-5) couldn’t generate any offense after a promising first half. Jordan Wilkins led the Rebels with 147 yards rushing, including a 64-yard touchdown run. Ta’amu completed 19 of 34 passes for 189 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Ole Miss managed just 66 total yards in the second half. The two teams traded touchdowns throughout the first half until the final minute, when Gary Wunderlich kicked a 28-yard field goal to give Ole Miss a 24-21 lead going into the break.

The takeaway Texas A&M: It’s a solid road win for the Aggies. The offense is much more balanced with Starkel at quar-

terback and the defense was terrific in the second half. Texas A&M should provide a tough test for LSU in the regular-season finale next weekend. Ole Miss: The Rebels had a frustrating second half after scoring 24 points before halftime. Ta’amu had his worst game as a starter and was constantly bothered by Texas A&M defensive pressure. A.J. Brown caught seven passes for 70 yards and a touchdown, but also had three drops that hurt the Rebels.

Alabama blasts Mercer, moves on to Iron Bowl Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama came out of the locker room with one touchdown drive after another, clearly not too distracted by thoughts of the Iron Bowl. Jalen Hurts passed for 180 yards and three touchdowns in a little more than a quarter and the top-ranked Crimson Tide beat FCS team Mercer 56-0 on Saturday with a precision performance in an obvious mismatch. With the stands far from full, the Tide (11-0, 7-0 SEC, No. 1 CFP) raced to a 35-0 halftime lead in what amounted

A balanced offensive attack and explosive scoring, including 21 fourth-quarter points allowed the Tigers to pull away from SMU for a 66-45 victory Saturday afternoon, sending the Tigers (9-1, 6-1, No. 21 CFP) to the conference’s title game on Dec. 2. But it was a wild day of offense, trading touchdowns and difficult weather conditions, including the delay for lightning in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter. “We’re going to strap up and get ready to go,” quarterback Riley Ferguson said of dealing with the conditions. “It doesn’t matter what day it is, what time it is, what the weather’s like, we’re going to be ready to go. Darrell Henderson rushed

for 147 yards, including two long touchdown runs and Ferguson threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Tiger offense. In addition to his throwing scores, Ferguson scored on three runs as Memphis won its sixth straight and claimed a spot in the conference’s Dec. 2 championship game. Patrick Taylor had 112 yards rushing, while Anthony Miller had 163 yards receiving. Both scored two touchdowns each. “It’s crazy how many playmakers we’ve got,” Miller said. “How many guys could shake the stadium at any time.” After SMU (6-5, 3-4) jumped to a 10-0 lead, Memphis answered with 24 straight points. From there, the teams traded touchdowns, keeping the Mustangs close until Memphis added three straight touchdowns in the fourth to claim the division trophy. “Obviously, that wasn’t the outcome we were after, by no means,” SMU coach Chad

Morris said. “I’m disappointed.” Xavier Jones rushed for 175 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Mustangs (6-4, 3-4), who lost their third straight. Quarterback Ben Hicks was 15 of 34 passing for 218 yards and four touchdown passes, two of them to Trey Quinn. “The mindset, the attitude, no adversity was going to distract this football team,” coach Mike Norvell said. For the Mustangs, the end face Tulane next week still with a chance to go to a bowl. But SMU will have to reverse a 3-game losing streak. “Our culture will pull us through and we’ll get through this,” Morris said. “At some point, it’s a battle, it’s a wantto, it’s a you get yourself back up. You are going into the last week of the season, and you’ve got a chance to play for something at home.”

Poll implications Memphis entered the week at No. 18 and No. 21 in CFP, and given their offen-

sive performance and a division crown, it seems doubtful Memphis will drop in the rankings. Moving up the ladder is likely, depending on games involving other ranked teams Saturday.

The takeaway SMU: Hicks started the game 3 of 12, but finished the first half completing 6 of his next 8. That was part of the offensive display that was put on by both teams, scoring on possession-after-possession. But the Mustangs couldn’t keep pace as Memphis scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Memphis: Miller with a catch in the second quarter became the Tigers career leader in receptions for a career passing Duke Calhoun, who finished with 212. That was part of a balanced Memphis attack in the front half. But the scoring for Memphis came on the ground with seven rushing touchdowns, Please see MEMPHIS | 11A

Balanced scoring leads Miss. State past FAMU Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — Abdul Ado made his long-awaited Mississippi State debut with 12 points and 8 rebounds as the Bulldogs beat Florida A&M 79-48 Saturday afternoon at Humphrey Coliseum. MSU scored 51 points in the second half to expand an 11-point halftime lead. In the second half, the Bulldogs shot 67.7 percent. Five MSU players were in double figures. Ado was joined by Nick Weatherspoon (12 points), Lamar Peters (12 points), Quinndary Weatherspoon (12 points) and Tyson

Carter (10 points). “It felt great to be out there,” Ado said. “Sometimes, I felt this day would never come. I was nervous before the game. My teammates said it’s just like practice, except you are playing another team. Do what you can do. That really gave me a lot of confidence.” Abdul missed last season waiting for his eligibility to be cleared. The 6-foot-11 freshman from Nigeria made an impression in his 23 minutes of play. “Abdul is a high-energy guy,” Peters said. “It’s Please see BALANCED | 12A

ing down Kentucky for a 42-13 victory Saturday. Chubb rushed for 151 and two touchdowns, including a 55-yard burst down the sideline to seal the victory early in the fourth quarter. Michel rambled for 87 yards and three scores of his own, most notably a 37-yard TD that sent the Bulldogs into the half with a 21-6 lead. When it was done, they both climbed atop a platform in front of the student section to celebrate. Chubb and Michel both passed up a chance to enter the NFL draft after their junior years.

No. 6 Auburn 42, UL-Monroe 14

AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn players could be forgiven for looking ahead to next week’s visit from No. 1 Alabama. Forgiveness came easy after the Tigers made a strong recovery from their sluggish start against Louisiana-Monroe. Darius Slayton’s 50yard scoring catch late in

the first half gave No. 6 Auburn the lead and the Tigers pulled away for a 42-14 win over ULM on Saturday to set up next week’s showdown with the Crimson Tide. Auburn (9-2, 6-0, No. 6 CFP) can earn a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game by beating Alabama in a rivalry in which it’s rare for conference and national implications to mean more than state bragging rights. Auburn also will be playing to protect its hopes for a spot in the playoff, a possibility that seemed unlikely after a loss to Louisiana State on Oct. 14 left the Tigers 5-2.

Florida 36, UAB 7 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Eddy Pineiro kicked five field goals and Florida used a stifling defense to overwhelm UAB 36-7 on Saturday. The Gators (4-6) ended a five-game losing streak with a strong second half when they gained 228 of their 409 total yards. Florida accumulated 257 yards on the ground with three players - Adarius

Lemons (89 yards), Lamical Perine (86) and Mark Thompson (78) accounting for most them. Pineiro connected on all five of his field-goal attempts, connecting from 39, 26, 50, 50 and 42 yards. He became the first player in Florida history to make two field goals from 50 yards or longer in a game. Gators quarterback Feleipe Franks passed for 152 yards and had touchdown passes to C’yontai Lewis (11 yards) and DeAndre Goolsby (13 yards). Florida held the Blazers to 180 yards, including just 3 yards on the ground. UAB (7-4) had just 93 yards in offense through three quarters.

South Carolina 31, Wofford 10 COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina linebacker Skai Moore believes the Gamecocks have one mission in the week leading up to rival Clemson — find that edge. Moore, the fifth-year senior, had a record-tying interception that turned things in the Gamecocks favor and stuffed out an-

other Wofford drive in the third quarter as South Carolina reached eight wins for the first time in four years with a 31-10 victory Saturday. South Carolina (8-3) certainly did that against Wofford, an FCS opponent who had not beaten the Gamecocks since 1917. After falling behind 3-0 and seeing Wofford stop them short on fourth down, quarterback Jake Bentley and the Gamecocks got going. Bentley ran for two touchdowns and passed for a third to end any threat of another stunner, like when Citadel, Wofford’s SoCon rival, beat them 23-22 two years ago. South Carolina’s defense did its part, too. The Gamecocks held Wofford (9-2), which came in averaging 260 yards rushing, to 155 yards on the ground. Moore’s pick was the 14th of his career, matching Bo Davies mark set 46 years ago.

rel Williams combined to run for 165 yards and three touchdowns and No. 21 LSU beat Tennessee 30-10 in stormy conditions Saturday night. Guice ran 24 times for 97 yards and one touchdown to help LSU win for the fifth time in its last six games. Williams rushed for 68 yards and two touchdowns on seven carries. LSU (8-3, 5-2 SEC, No. 20 College Football Playoff) scored 10 points after recovering two fumbled punt returns by Tennessee’s Marquez Callaway in the red zone. The Tigers also began a touchdown drive after making a fourth-down stop at Tennessee’s 21. Tennessee (4-7, 0-7) was playing its first game under interim head coach Brady Hoke after the firing of Butch Jones. The Volunteers must beat Vanderbilt next week to avoid their first eightloss season in school history. A loss to Vanderbilt would cause Tennessee No. 21 LSU 30, to finish a season winTennessee 10, less in SEC competition KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — for the first time since Derrius Guice and Dar- the league’s formation in

1933.

Missouri 45, Vanderbilt 17 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Drew Lock threw three touchdown passes and Missouri won its fifth straight game to become bowl eligible with its sixth victory, a 45-17 rout of Vanderbilt (3-7, 0-7) on Saturday night. The Tigers (6-5, 3-4 SEC) are the second team from the Southeastern Conference to become bowl eligible after a 1-5 start. Mississippi was the first, finishing 6-6 after an Independence Bowl loss in 1983.Representatives from the Liberty and TaxSlayer bowls attended the game. Lock, who entered the game as the nation’s leading TD passer, is one short of tying the Missouri single-season record of 39 and and two shy of tying the SEC single-season mark of 40. Missouri led 7-0 after the first quarter before erupting for four straight touchdowns to take a commanding 35-0 halftime lead.

Just when is the rut for doe-crazed bucks? Even with preparations and the best-laid plans, many hunters agree that killing a trophy buck would be near impossible if it weren’t for the distraction of the rut. Doe-crazed bucks have been known to wade through rush-hour traffic and jump head-high fences to get to hot does on the other side. And having witnessed our female German Shepherd go through her heat cycle and trying to keep our younger male away from her, the impact of the rut has an even greater meaning. Just when the rut occurs is still a subject of debate by hunters in many areas, but more so in the state of Mississippi due to an array of reasons. Depending on your location in Mississippi, the rut may range from early-December to early-February. For example, the rut on my parent’s farm in Montgomery and Webster counties typically occurs in early- to mid-January. Further south along the Gulf Coastal counties, the rut may be in early February. And in extreme North Mississippi, it may be in early-December, or even lateNovember.

Conservation

Corner By: James L. Cummins

Fortunately for Magnolia State deer hunters, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (MDWFP) has provided assistance to help hunters know the average breeding dates across the state. The technical staff, with the assistance of a multitude of conservation officers, has been conducting deer health checks at specific sites within Mississippi for more than 20 years. These health checks are conducted to collect biological data that is unavailable from hunter-harvested deer. Some of the data collected at these health checks has included the conception or breeding dates of the mature does that they examine. From this information, they have been able to calculate the mean or average breeding date from a multitude

of deer populations. This information has been formatted to coincide with Geographic Information System map data to create a topographical breeding-date range map for the entire state. This map of mean-conception dates is available through the MDWFP website at www.mdwfp.com. Go to the site and type “Deer Breeding Date Map” in the search box and it will locate the range map. What you will see is a map of Mississippi that will give you the simulated mean conception date of any region you care to examine. Remember that the date(s) that you will be examining is the mean conception date, not the peak rut. Most deer behavior studies have shown that hunter-observable rutting activity peaks about two weeks prior to the mean breeding date. James L. Cummins is executive director of Wildlife Mississippi, a non-profit, conservation organization founded to conserve, restore and enhance fish, wildlife and plant resources throughout Mississippi.

Arkansas coach Bret Bielema then went for it on a fourth-and-2 from the Razorbacks 44, and the Bulldogs held. Nine plays later, Thomas scored to give Mississippi State its fifth win in six games against Arkansas. “We said the last night we were going to do everything we can to win this game,” Bielema said. “We’re going to do everything we can to

keep swinging, keep fighting, and obviously that was an example of it.” David Williams led Arkansas with 75 yards rushing on eight carries, while Allen completed 11 of 17 passes for 119 yards.

Baugus

Corinth kicker wins national honor BY KENT MOHUNDRO

kmohundro@dailycorinthian. com

Corinth High School senior kicking specialist Michael Baugus had a night to remember last week in a 27-24 comeback playoff victory over Pontotoc where his game-winning 31-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining made the difference. Baugus was honored by the Kohl’s kicking organization as the National Kicker of the Week as he outdistanced Nebraska high school kicker Gabe Helms in a national voting poll that ended this past Friday. Helms had a nice game with a game-winning

21-yard field goal as he converted on both his attempts. Baugus connected from 35 yards just before halftime before his gamewinner won it for the Warriors. He also made all three extra point attempts and punted five times for a 40-yard average. Those numbers earned him this week’s awards from Kohl’s, one of the two top kicking promotion companies in the country. Baugus is ranked among the top-40 high school kickers in the nation and is receiving solid recruiting interest from several schools, including D-1 universities.

The takeaway Mississippi State: The Bulldogs lost 31-24 a week ago to No. 1 Alabama, with the Crimson Tide scoring in the final minute for the victory. Mississippi State played as if it were still recovering from that setback. The Bulldogs lost three fumbles, including one on

good to have him out there. We know he is going to give us everything because he always goes all out. He is going to help us offensively and defensively. He will make an impact.” MSU (2-0) started fast, building a 15-2 lead in less than six minutes. A dunk by Carter capped that opening run. The Bulldogs then fell in a slump offensively with only one basket over the next eight minutes. Florida A&M (0-4) was back within five points at 1914 with 4:12 left in the half. MSU led 28-17 at halftime. “Our defense in the first half was tremendous,” MSU coach Ben Howland said. “Our block outs were not good. We allowed too many offensive rebounds in the first half. In the second half, we did a much better job of attacking the basket. It was great to have Abdul make his debut today. “He did a lot of things defensively that will not show up on a stat sheet.”

The Bulldogs started the second half on a 9-1 run for a 37-18 lead. A follow-up 8-0 run pushed the lead to 48-21 with 13:58 left in the contest. For the contest, MSU hit 33 of 62 shots from the field (53.2 percent), 7 of 24 shots from 3-point range (29.2 percent) and 6 of 9 shots from the foul line (66.7 percent). Florida A&M hit 18 of 64 shots from the field (28.1 percent), 5 of 19 shots from 3-point range (26.3 percent) and 7 of 12 shots from the foul line (58.3 percent). Florida A&M held a 42-37 rebounding advantage. The Bulldogs had 19 assists and 17 turnovers, while the Rattlers had six assists and 24 turnovers. The Bulldogs had 13 blocked shots, including six by Schnider Herard and three by Ado. Peters had five assists and four steals. Florida A&M received 15 points from Marcus Barham and 14 points from Desmond Williams. MSU will play host to Green Bay at 7 p.m. Monday.

McNairy Central robotics team travels to Nashville BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — An opportunity to showcase McNairy Central’s Robotics program was the reason the school sent three students to the Tennessee School Board Association’s annual convention in Nashville this past weekend. The BotCats were one of two robotics teams that participated in the Tennessee’s Got Talent program Saturday at Gaylord’s Opryland Resort. TSBA planned a “Tennessee’s Got Talent� event at the state convention. School districts were asked to provide uniquely, talented students for the competition, which is based on the television show “America’s Got Talent.� There was no winner chosen in the contest. McNairy County Director of Schools Wayne Henry asked MCHS teacher Robin York to bring part of her robotics team to take part in the competition. She chose seniors Luke

“It makes me feel good as a teacher to see my students get up in a meeting and talk about what they are passionate about.� Robin York

MCHS Teacher Overton, Dakota Lee, and Tyler Johnson to represent the team. The robotics team was recognized during Thursday’s meeting of the McNairy County Board of Education. Overton and Lee were the lead builders on the team. Johnson and Lee were the drivers of the robot that was built as a fireman. The robot could go into a designed burning building and rescue a mannequin. York said the team could not carry their full course and that limited what they could do on the stage. The presentation was limited to just five minutes. The teacher carried her team for the students to make a presen-

tation at the Rotary Club meeting. This had a twofold purpose in exposing the student’s talents to business leaders and to help get financial contributions in the future. “It makes me feel good as a teacher to see my students get up in a meeting and talk about what they are passionate about,� York said. “My students have pride in what they are doing and they take ownership in making it work.� York said she was impressed how students who were afraid to get up to speak before now willingly speaking at the TSBA convention in front of 300 and before the members of the Rotary.

The BotCats robotics team from McNairy Central High School recently took part in the Tennessee School Board Association Convention. She pointed out how one student learned how to work a power screwdiver for the first time and others learned how to operate power tools that will benefit them later in the work world. A student must be in the top three grades to take the engineering class.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Discovery of a 210,000-gallon oil leak from the Keystone pipeline would seem to be poor timing four days before regulators in Nebraska decide whether to allow a major expansion of the system, but officials say state law does not allow pipeline safety to be a factor in their decision.

The Nebraska Public Service Commission was scheduled to rule Monday if a Keystone XL expansion pipeline proposed by TransCanada Corp. can cross the state. The commission’s decision is the last major regulatory hurdle for a project that has faced numerous local, state and federal reviews and lawsuits since it was

announced in 2008. Keystone operator TransCanada Corp. shut down the existing pipeline early Thursday morning and workers were testing to determine the cause of the spill on agricultural land in Marshall County, South Dakota, near the North Dakota border, about 250 miles west of Minneapolis.

Book shares emotional journey BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“The Deal of a Lifetime” by Fredrik Backman c.2017, Atria $18.00/65 pages A banana for a cupcake was always a good trade. When you were in grade school, Mom was great about packing lunch with foods you liked but every now and then, it was good to eat something different. So you swapped, just as you did with toys and games and love, as you grew older. But, as in “The Deal of a Lifetime” by Fredrik Backman, what would you trade for a life? The letter started off innocent enough: “Hi,” it said. “It’s your dad.” But, of course, the young man would’ve sus-

pected that. He’d always had a father. Just not one that he knew. Years before, when the young man was a boy, his father was gone a lot, chasing fame, money, and recognition, never being the dad he might’ve been. There was a time when he knew the boy loved him, but after he’d come home from a trip and it took two days to notice that his wife had left him and taken the boy, the father knew things would never be like before. And now he was dying. He’d been told it was cancer, and that his time in the hospital would be his last. Smoking on the balcony (oh, how the nurses hated that!), he noticed a small girl, and she waved at him; never one for children, he waved

back anyway, and told her that he’d watch over her one night. Just five years old, she included him in her prayers. She said that she, too, saw the lady in the grey sweater. He feared the lady in the grey sweater; everyone did. He knew who she was because he’d seen her before, at birth, at age five, at age fifteen, at perilous times of his life. Now she walked the cancer ward with a clipboard, silently and efficiently, and when he stole that clipboard and ran from the hospital in anger and fear, raced off in his sports car, and promptly had an accident, it was she who pulled him from the wreckage. It was she who made him an offer… Like many people, you’re already dipping your toes into the holiday

season, making lists, pulling decorations from the attic. What kind of gifts will you give this year – or will you, like “The Deal of a Lifetime” – give of yourself? It’s an age-old question, and author Fredrik Backman asks in a brief, but most exquisite manner. Indeed, at just sixty-five pages with illustrations, this book is short but every word counts and that’ll hit you square in the heart. Backman’s lady in grey is worthy of sympathy; his father-character is regretful and cynical, wearing his loss like a badge he never wanted, but he’s not as savvy as he thinks he is. When that becomes apparent to both reader and character, beware. You may shed tears over this book. You may need

to savor it a second time, to feel its words again. However you read it, “The

Deal of a Lifetime” is an experience you’ll never trade.

Blind veterans find their way in dark world that surrounds them BY JOHN FITZHUGH The Sun Herald

BILOXI — Keith Bynum, a blind Army veteran, lives by this rule: Life is not over just because you can’t see. “You’ve got to have a positive mind to keep yourself going,” said the 55-year-old. Bynum is one of 18 veterans at the Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System’s Blind Rehab Center in Biloxi. The facility opened in 2011 and has served 173 veterans in those six years. “It opens those doors for independence once again,” said Debra Gilley, chief of the facility. “It’s wonderful to see somebody who has been sitting at home on the couch

thinking that life is not open to them anymore, and to see them out crossing the street and getting out there.” Gilley began working in blind rehab field as a certified orientation and mobility therapist 26 years ago. “It was my passion,” she said. She is now also a certified low vision therapist. Veterans are trained in five fields: computer access, living skills, orientation and mobility, vision skills and manual skills. Veterans generally stay at the center for four to six weeks on their first visit. “A lot of individuals when they’re losing their vision start to become stuck at home because they don’t feel safe getting

out anymore,” Gilley said. “By teaching them independent travel skills, they get out again and the universe opens up to them again. “So many of the things we do day-to-day, we take for granted. So many of the things we do rely on our vision.” An optometrist may tell them, “There’s nothing more I can do for you,” she said. “But they come here and we’re able to give them adaptive equipment that opens that world back up again.” Few of the clients who have been served at the Biloxi facility lost their sight to combat injuries. Most suffer from degenerative conditions, and some still have minimal

sight, but are considered legally blind. “When I first came here, I knew absolutely nothing about computers,” said Robert Mixon of Sims Chapel, Alabama. “They introduced me to a computer, taught me how to use it and it just opened up a whole new world to me.” Mixon, 81, was on his seventh visit to the center last month. Many veterans make multiple visits to hone old skills and to learn new ones. “Each time we incrementally increase their skills,” Gilley said. “They’re getting better and more independent and enhancing their skills each time they come in.” There are 13 blind re-

hab centers in the VA system, and veterans can choose which one they attend. “It’s like going to school,” Gilley said. “When you’re losing your vision, there’s a lot to learn.” Everybody has different needs, and there are different types of vision loss, she said. “We work hard to make sure that your instruction is individualized. We want to teach you what you need to learn.” Vincent Higginbotham of Ocean Springs was practicing walking up and down stairs during part of his training. The 61-year-old Marine and Air Force veteran has suffered a gradual loss of

vision since 1995 due to Stargardt disease. “I have learned a lot (at the center),” he said. “Some things I have learned on my own just by dealing with the vision, but they’ve given me a lot of different types of technology. “They can’t cure my eyes, but they can help me deal with the situation,” he said. “It’s all about increasing their independence,” Gilley said. “That’s what blind rehab is all about. It’s giving that hope back and it’s saying that just because you’re losing your vision or you’ve lost your vision, it’s not the end, it’s just a bump in the road and we’ve got your back.”

Brooks on new anthology Staples in fine form as album and lip syncing at CMAs chronicles America’s divide BY MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer

NEW YORK — Garth Brooks says he’s happy to share the first of five anthologies he created with his fans while he’s still alive and kicking. “Every artist seems to wait ‘till they’re dead, and I just don’t know how you enjoy that. Or everybody is so old that nobody can remember the stories, it just gets kind all muddied up,” he said in an interview this week. “So just to be able to do this while you’re up and running really was cool.” The 55-year-old singer released “Garth Brooks: The Anthology Part 1 The First Five Years” on Tuesday. It includes a book written by Brooks, five albums — including songs never heard before — and behind-the-scenes stories focused on the years 19891994. “This is kind of been the request of the people that allow me to do what I do. And they want to know every nook and cranny of how this whole thing all started,” said Brooks, who released his debut in 1989. Brooks plans to release the other four anthologies in the next few years. He said he’s halfway through creating part two. The first one took two years to produce. The multi-platinum singer, who is currently on his top-grossing tour, spoke with The Associated Press about the anthology, his decision to lip sync at last week’s Country Music Association Awards and more. AP: What was going through your mind when you looked at the first five

years of your career? Brooks: To be honest I was scared because I’ve told these stories my whole career. Now I was scared that I’d have to go back and find, “Well maybe that wasn’t exactly how it happened. Maybe we were stretching the truth a little bit or whatever to make a good story.” And then what I love is you go back — there it is; there is a first take of “Much Too Young” and that whole thing of you’re looking at all these guys who know what they’re doing and you don’t know what you’re doing. AP: What would the Garth Brooks today tell the 1989 version of Garth? Brooks: What I’ll tell him is, “You’re just so full of (expletive), you’re scared to death and you’re running and you’re praying to God that each day you don’t kill yourself,” you know. But I think that’s all young artists. We got a kid named Mitch Rossell with us right now (on tour), sweetest kid on the planet, but ... I am telling you, he’s so far in the dark simply because the greatest lessons in life cannot be taught. You have to learn them. And it’s just cool to see. So what we do to him is the same thing everybody did to me — they run alongside me with their arms trying to keep me from falling ... and that’s what those guys did for me. Everyone in that book did that for me. AP: What was it like to win entertainer of the year at the CMAs for the second year in a row? Brooks: It was very sweet. ...Everybody was

saying “Hey ringer,” they were calling me ringer ... “You’re a shoo-in” and I was going, “(Expletive), we’re not going to take it home this year” because everybody thinks (we will). ...We’re still celebrating! AP: You’ve performed live for years, so why did you decide to lip sync at the CMAs? Brooks: I think I know Tacoma really well, that was five nights (of shows there) three days right before (the CMAs), it’s an indoor football stadium, so you go in there and you’re just fighting your guts out to try and reach the person that’s in the very back ... it’s real physical and real demanding but very rewarding. So I knew they were going to kick my (expletive) and then I’ve got seven nights in Spokane the day after the CMAs. So the week before Tacoma while we were in Nashville we went in and did a (prerecorded) track just for the CMAs, and then decided we’d do a game-time decision, and when it was game time it wasn’t a hard decision for me to make at all. I don’t think it’s any secret some people have a different opinion. Knowing now what I knew then, even after all this crap, if it happened the same way again next week, I’d do lip syncing again. AP: How’s the new album coming along? Brooks: It’s just in pieces right now. We’ve been touring so hard, so right now it’s in thoughts and pieces. We’re kind of working on the anthology, getting to work on that in your spare time.

Celebrities sign on to support UNICEF World Children’s Day Associated Press

NEW YORK — David Beckham, Millie Bobby Brown and Hugh Jackman are among celebrities and world leaders announced Tuesday as participants and official supporters of the UNICEF initiative World Children’s Day. The organization said events around the globe will focus on child takeovers to mark the day Monday, including a gathering at the United Nations in New York. That’s where UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will welcome children and singer-songwriters Chloe x Halle will perform a new track written for the occasion. Young people in Geneva, meanwhile, will take over the Palais des Nations to perform a special cover of Pink’s hit “What About Us.” In Spain, children will join Leo Messi and others

on the powerhouse soccer team FC Barcelona for a practice session, while in India, cricket will be the game for 22 child athletes who will play with legendary cricketer and UNICEF goodwill ambassador Sachin Tendulkar. Brown, who appears on the Netflix series “Stranger Things,” will kick off the day in Australia. Jackman is lending his voice via video to a fundraiser focused on providing clean water to those in need, to take place in gyms around the world on Saturday. “I am so excited for the first-ever global celebration of World Children’s Day on November 20th with UNICEF,” Brown said in a statement. “It’s our day, everyone! A day for us to raise our voices and unite. So let’s do it — in our schools, with our friends, with our families!” Beckham, a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, will

appear in a short film with children. Other events are planned for Copenhagen and Accra, where 10 children from eight African countries will tell the world about the continent in a series of Ted Talkstyle appearances called Africa Dialogues. More than 50 companies and organizations around the world will turn over key roles to children, including LEGO, Qantas and H&M Foundation. In schools, children will also take over classrooms and assemblies to raise their voices and fundraise in solidarity with the world’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children. “It’s a fun day with a serious point. A day for children by children to help save children’s lives, fight for their rights and help them fulfill their potential.” said Justin Forsyth, UNICEF deputy executive director.

Daily Corinthian

BY GREGORY KATZ Associated Press

Mavis Staples, “If All I Was Was Black” (Anti/Epitaph) Mavis Staples seems to grow in stature the longer she keeps chronicling America and its contemporary woes. Her constant frame of reference — the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and her family’s proud role as musical pathfinders in those tumultuous years — is

useful as she addresses today’s troubled racial waters. In her third major collaboration with songwriter and producer Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Staples examines the American scene, 2017, and finds it wanting in kindness and compassion. Musically, though, she has found a delicious, bass-heavy groove, slow and easy and perfectly suited for the confident, wise voice of a veteran

singer who has been performing since 1948. “If All I Was Was Black” is overtly political. Tweedy, lead writer on the project, says it would feel wrong not to face what is happening in the United States head on. “We Go High,” for example, builds on a notable phrase from a Michelle Obama speech. It’s a record that describes an America where “people are dying, bullets they’re flying.”

Seal opens dialogue with his listeners on ‘Standards’ album BY RYAN PEARSON AP Entertainment Writer

BEVERLY HILLS, California — Seal is in crisis mode. The Grammy-winning singer says he’s deeply concerned about anti-social social media and the emotionless conversations enabled by technology. He stepped back recently to observe how he and his children used social media and messaging apps — and didn’t like what he saw. “I’ve been going through my own sort of crisis if you like, of late — trying to make sense of it all,” he said. “There’s a lot of contact, a lot of traffic, but very little dialogue. So people are texting each other, but actually having zero dialogue at all, or very little. They’re not saying anything.

Because they’re not real conversations. ... Because there is no emotion, or very little. And if there is emotion, it’s contrived emotion.” Among his responses: He doesn’t shake hands — only hugs. He texts as little as possible, preferring FaceTime or other video apps when holding a phone conversation. And he immersed himself in the “dialogue” of classic pop and jazz songs like “Autumn Leaves” and “Smile” for a new “Standards” album released this month. “I feel that because so much emphasis is on storytelling and the ability of the great singers of these standards — the Sinatras, the Fitzgeralds, the Nat King Coles — and the ability of these great singers, these great voices, to carry this narrative, to tell the

Crossword

story — everything is focused on that. ... If that is not intact, everything else falls to pieces,” Seal said. “It has to be dialogue. ... That kind of seems to be the theme with me at the moment -- both kind of personally and professionally.” His 10th studio album was recorded at Capitol Records in Los Angeles, with a band that included musicians who performed alongside Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. The 54-year-old British crooner has been more focused on storytelling in his own songwriting since delving into the classics songbook. “It taught me relaxation, slowing down, and having to be more reflective and focused again on this thing of the narrative. Because that’s really what resonates with people,” he said.
