Head Start oversight suspended ‘indefinitely’
www.websterprogresstimes.com
By Amanda Sexton
Ferguson
The Winona Times
WINONA
–
Administrative
oversight of Head Start and
Early Head Start in six
counties,
including
Webster, by Central
Mississippi Inc. has been
suspended indefinitely
According
to
a
spokesman
for
the
Administration
for
Children and Families,
“The Office of Head Start
has determined that the
suspension
of
the
Central Mississippi Inc.
Head Start and Early
Head Start program will
continue indefinitely.
This decision is based on
comments and evidence
CMI has provided to
OHS as part of the due
process provided under
suspension conditions.”
According to a Dec. 4
letter released by the
Administration
for
Children and Families’
Office of Head Start and
addressed to CMI board
of
directors
chair
Michael Williams from
Dr. Blanca Enriques,
director of the Office of
Head Start, the agency’s
decision to suspend “federal financial assistance
under the Head Start
Act to CMI” will not “be
rescinded and should
continue.” Oversight of
Head Start in Attala,
Carroll,
Choctaw,
Holmes, Montgomery
and Webster counties
has been transferred to
Central Development
Institute Head Start.
The letter states the
Office of Head Start’s
decision to suspend oversight indefinitely was
based upon findings at a
Dec. 3 meeting with CMI
officials and a subsequent review of CMI’s
Head Start properties.
When CMI’s oversight
was suspended Nov. 16,
during a review by the
Office of Head Start in
October, it found maintenance and safety issues
at the Head Start facilities. In addition, the
Office of Head Start said
the board did not “fulfill
its legal and fiscal
responsibilities
of
administering or overseeing the Head Start
program, including safeguarding federal funds.”
They also found that
“CMI did not establish
and maintain strong fiscal controls.”
The Dec. 4 letter stated
that it had found before
the Nov. 16 suspension
that “CMI also did not
ensure that the total
compensation paid to
employees was reasonable for services rendered and conformed to
the establishment of
written policy of the
agency.”
Deadlines were given
by the Office of Head
Start for CMI to correct
the deficiencies.
According to the Dec.
16 letter, during an
onsite review on Dec. 1
and 2, officials from the
Office of Head Start

found “continuing problems” at most of the centers.
“You acknowledged
that the Reform Center
[in Attala County] was a
health and safety problem,” wrote Enriquez.
“You also reported that
when it rained, the children were removed from
the
Vaiden
Center
mobile units and taken
to the courthouse to keep
them safe.”
The Office of Head
Start denied issuing
CMI more time and
money to correct the
problems at the centers,
saying it “would not be in
the best interests of the
Head Start program.”
The letter states that
CMI argued that the
suspension prevented
the agency from correcting problems at the
Head Start Centers
because of a lack of funds
to make repairs.
Enriques responded,
“This [argument] ignores
the many years CMI has
received grant funds but
did not maintain its centers.”
Enriques addressed
the CMI board’s responsibility in the condition
of the Head Start centers, stating, “It is not
clear why repairs have
not been made during
your tenure as [Office of
Head Start] provided
millions of dollars in
grant funds during those
years. [Office of Head
Start] is not convinced
that CMI can correct the
problems at the centers
and prevent similar
problems from occurring
again.”
The letter went on to
say that CMI has not
addressed the “governance and fiscal problems.” In addition, it
stated that Office of
Head Start gave CMI
the opportunity to work
with CDI HS to correct
the problems and receive
proper training prior to
the suspension, all
“while allowing CMI to
continue as grantee.
CMI rejected that offer.”
Since the Nov. 16 suspension, Head Start
classes have been canceled, and because CMI
has not cooperated with
interim administering
agency, CDI HS, by
allowing access to Head
Start facilities and vehicles, classes remain canceled indefinitely.
According
to
the
Administration
for
Children and Families
spokesman,
“At the beginning of
the suspension on Nov.
16, the Office of Head
Start
at
HHS’
Administration
for
Children and Families
deployed an interim
grantee, CDI Head
Start, to provide interim
management of Head
Start program opera-

tions. Since that time,
CDI Head Start has
been denied access to
Head Start facilities and
vehicles by the CMI
board, even though
many of the buildings
were wholly funded
through Head Start.
Without access to buildings and buses, CDI
Head Start is unable to
provide full Head Start
services to children and
families.”
At a Nov. 19 job fair,
CDI HS hired 233 former employees who were
on the Head Start staff
at CMI before funds
were suspended, and
according to the Office of
Head Start, CDI HS was
prepared to resume services the week of Nov. 23.
“CMI has not allowed
CDI Head Start access to
Head Start facilities or
vehicles so that program
operations can begin,”
stated a spokesman with
the Office of Head Start.
“Without access to buildings and buses, CDI
Head Start is unable to
provide the services to
children and families
previously provided by
CMI. Moreover, teachers
recently hired by CDI in
anticipation of resuming
services, may be laid off.”

Paid Obituary
Confederate flag symbolizes struggle
Opinion
by Pete Shumpert
[email protected]
Both the Confederate flag and
the American flag have been misused by people who did not
believe in their true meaning.
Before I am considered unpatriotic, I love freedom more than I love
a forced union. In fact, a forced
union is the definition of a dictatorial empire. Therefore, Abraham Lincoln’s
political actions were praised and
copied by these dictators:
Bismarck, Hitler, Lenin, Stalin,
Mussolini and many big government American presidents. Thus,
the greatest abuser of the
American flag was Abraham
Lincoln. Unfortunately, Lincoln
and other tyrannical presidents
have flown the American flag –
but the flag is not the problem.
Notwithstanding what Lincoln
said, the Constitution does not
give the president the “duty to
save the Union.” History tells us
that the South legally seceded
from the Union because of the
tyrannical, unconstitutional taxes
(tariffs), which Lincoln threatened to collect with the military
force.
The South seceded for the same
reasons the Founding Fathers
seceded from the British Empire
— thus, Southerners were not
“rebels” or “traitors,” nor, motivated by racism.
As a young man, Lincoln joined
the Illinois militia to kill Native
Americans. Years later he stated
that he joined because he was
“out of a job.” Thus, he was paid
and given land for his assistance
in murdering Native Americans
who were defending their homelands. This is just what he did to
the Southern people when he
made the false claim that it was
his “duty to save the Union.”
Being paid well by his big-business supporters in the North,
Abraham Lincoln invaded the
South and murdered 250,000
Southern soldiers and about the
same number of Southern civilians (white and black). This was
done to make all surviving
Southerners into de facto slaves of
the Yankee Empire. Again, the
American flag was not the problem.
As if this was not enough,
Lincoln’s government sent the
same army onto the plains and to
the west murdering hundreds of
thousands of Native Americans to
steal their lands. Having taken
part in murdering Native
Americans as a young man, it follows that Lincoln was planning to
be the leader who conquered the
plains and the west, as well. All
this was also done by tyrants
under the American flag — the
flag was not the problem.
In his book “Democracy in
America” (1835-40), Alexis de
Tocqueville, an unbiased French
author, wrote that racism in
[Northern] states was much
worse than in [Southern] states.
Mr. de Tocqueville found that,
generally, in New England,
blacks were considered “aliens”
who should be colonized back to
Africa. Northern writers, soldiers
and European visitors to the
South agreed with De Tocqueville
that in the South, most whites
and blacks were quite friendly
with each other. Many of
Lincoln’s statements and writings
indicate that he did not like
blacks; and, the vast majority of
Northerners agreed with him.
According to the observers mentioned above, a large majority of
Southerners actually did like
blacks. Since we know that
racism was not common in the
South before the so-called Civil
War, it must have been the racist
“carpetbaggers” and the Northern
politicians and union soldiers who
were sent down and settled in the
South that brought racism to the
southern states.
If
one
reads
Lincoln’s
Emancipation Proclamation carefully, one will realize that he did
not free one slave in the South,
nor, in the North — in its text, he
said it was a “war measure”
— thus it was simply propaganda.

traders of the United States. They

slaves they sold in the South; the
other 97.5 percent were shipped
from Africa and sold in the North,
the Caribbean and South
America. These evil slave traders
used the American flag for protection — not the Confederate flag!
The Confederate flag did not fly
over any slave trade ship, nor did
it fly over the Lincoln government
buildings and armies while the
Northerners murdered nearly
700,000 people of all three races,
during and after Lincoln’s War
(when we include the Native
Americans).
Yet, Americans are taught to
despise the Confederate flags
just because a tiny minority of
unauthorized people used the
Confederate battle flag during
racist crimes and rallies.
Knowledgeable Southerners are
proud of their ancestors who
fought, died and/or struggled for
the South under the Confederate
flag against Lincoln’s illegal
aggression and tyranny.
The moral issue: In 1861 the
South was in the process of freeing the slaves; it was a work in
progress, and all works in
progress for a peaceable solution
for a moral end, are certainly
valid. By 1865, the North was
still holding slaves and conducting the slave trade; and, Lincoln
had forced every state to be illegally held in a Union, which is
not government by consent or
freedom. This is why tyrants
love Lincoln.
Now it is politically correct to
slander Southerners and to
falsely
claim
that
the
Confederate flag is the flag of
slavery and racism, but that
does not change the fact that the
American flag was flown by the
Northeastern slave traders, millions of Northern racists and
Northern politicians who murdered hundreds of thousands of
American people of all three
races!
The fact that lawless people
have misused both of these flags
does not give anyone the right or
reason to stop either of these
flags from being flown as symbols of the struggle to put an end
to tyranny.

Letter to the editor
Acceptance and tolerance
This is a Christmas note of appreciation about
how far we have come in our acceptance and tolerance of others.
We live in a heartfelt nation of can-do and sharing. We are capable of weathering any storm of
naysayers and politicians who sell us their fear.
Left, right; black, white; rich, poor — we will
with God’s love and wisdom persevere in the
righteousness of our faith and our benevolence of
others, who (as the accompanying photo may
remind us) may not look exactly like us.
In Jesus’ name, Merry Christmas.

Grand
ized brand of cut-resistant hand and arm protection is Rhino range,
which is based on the
Rhino steel core yarn.
For
the
project,
Tilsatec is leasing two
facilities from the city of
Eupora. One, formerly
occupied by AnsellHawkeye, will be for
manufacturing, and the
other, formerly occupied
by Roseburg Forest
Products in Industrial
Park, will be for distribution
operations.
Tilsatec’s Eupora manufacturing operations are
its first in North
America.
Economic impact
The grand opening
ceremony began with
opening remarks from
Mayor Dan Burchfield,
who was critical in
recruiting Tilsatec to
the area. He gave a
background of his perspective on the economic
ups and downs the city
and county has had over
the years.
“There wasn’t a recession here in Eupora; it
was a depression,”
Burchfield stated.
He went on to explain
how this summer’s closing of the AnsellHawkeye plant brought
about a chance meeting
with the management of
Tilsatec, which would be
the beginning of a beautiful partnership.
Burchfield ended his
remarks by assuring the
management team of
Tilsatec that it will
receive the full support
of the city, county and
all of its residents.
Sen. Gary Jackson
(District 15) then gave a
welcome on behalf of
Gov. Phil Bryant, who
had a prior engagement.
“I appreciate the team
at Tilsatec for looking to
Mississippi as the location of its first North
American manufacturing facility and for realizing the numerous
advantages Mississippi
offers companies with
distribution
needs,”
Bryant stated in prepared remarks. “These
new jobs will positively
impact the local economy and community for
years to come, and I
wish the company many
years of success in
Eupora.”

brief overview of the

offer and Whitham discussed hiring that has
already taken place as

From School Reports
Eupora Elementary School had an amazing
Star Lab visit from Jerry Hemphill with
Woodmen Life.
The Star Lab is an inflatable planetarium that
allows students to experience the solar system
and constellations in a unique experience.
Once inflated a projector displays the constellations and solar system on the dome-shaped ceiling. Students in third through fifth grade were
able to attend.
Katie McDonald, fifth-grade science teacher,
wanted her students to have an enjoyable and
memorable lesson on the galaxy. This was definitely it. Many teachers were just as excited as
many of the students.
Third- through fifth-grade science students visit the Star Lab at EES.

From Press Reports
This holiday season,
give yourself and your
loved ones the best gift
of all: a healthy you.
When you quit smoking, the health benefits
start within 20 minutes of putting down
the cigarette, cigar,
cigarillo
or
pipe.
According
to
the
American
Lung
Association, your body
begins to repair itself
almost
immediately
when you quit. Within
20 minutes, the heart
rate returns to normal.
In just two weeks to
three months, your
lung function begins to
improve and your risk
of a heart attack
begins to drop.
“Resources are available
for
any
Mississippian
who
wants to quit using
tobacco,” says Keetha
Mosley, project director of the Mississippi

of

smoking harms
nearly
every

In addition, when

Special to The Progress
Times
Christmas is fast
approaching and many
of us are looking forward
to visiting with family
and friends and eating
turkey and dressing (and
for the record, my mother makes the best dressing). Birds are also in
need of good nutrition.
Over 75 percent of
Mississippians are bird
feeders and observers.
For these birdwatchers,
this means preparing for
winter feeding. During
winter months, their
short supply of natural
food sources can be supplemented with artificial
feeding. This type of
feeding will provide birdwatchers a convenient
way to view a variety of
species. Here are some
tips for attracting winter
birds for your viewing
pleasure.
The first step is
preparing winter feeders. Feeders should be
cleaned
thoroughly.
There are three basic
types of feeders designed
to offer a variety of foods:
a hanging type feeder; a
ground or tray feeder;
and a suet feeder.
The hanging type feeder should be placed away
from one’s home in an
area that will provide
clear viewing. The most
common type of seed
used with hanging feeders is sunflower. The
ground or tray feeder
should be placed near
plant cover. The most
common seed associated
with the tray feeder is
cracked corn; however,
other seed mixtures
work well. Suet feeders
are a favorite of woodpeckers, chickadees, titmice and nuthatches.
The second step in
preparing your bird feeder is selecting the seed.
Seeds such as sunflower,
safflower, millet and
thistle
seeds
are
fool proof. They need to
be stored in a clean, dry
area to prevent mold and
mildew. Covered containers such as trash
cans or plastic tubs are
excellent storage facilities for birdseed.
The next step is pro-
viding water for the
birds. Water is important since all birds need
water both for drinking
and bathing. The best
types of birdbaths available are the synthetic
plastic baths. Synthetic
plastics,
such
as
polypropylene,
have
rough surfaces and will
tolerate all extremities
in temperatures. In
extremely cold temperatures, you will need to
keep water open at your
birdbath. This can be
done by either adding
warm water as needed or
by using an electric
water heater.
A good feeding plan
should include all three
types
of
feeders.
Different types of feeders
appeal
to
different
species of birds. To
attract the birds and
keep them coming back,
you should clean feeders
and birdbaths regularly
and dispose of old or
moldy food. Those of you
who have a feeding plan
may want to add additional feeders to enhance
your existing area for
birding.
Lesson learned from death on the farm
By Charlie Saunders
It was in the mid-’50s
that this incident happened. All people mentioned are deceased and
I can feel free to mention
names and places that I
can recall here 50 years
later.
My brother Bill Gary
was instructed to go to
the farm 5 miles west of
Eupora and mow the
pasture for hay to be
baled later. Upon arrival
at the farm, he hooked
the mules (Kate and
Dave) up to the mower
and headed for the pasture. While mowing, one
of the singletrees came
loose and cut Dave’s rear
leg off. Bill panicked.
Not knowing what to
do, he jumped in the
pickup and headed to
town. At the entrance of
the farm was a house
occupied by daddy’s
sharecropper,
Willis
Robinson, who in his latter years had contracted
glaucoma and was all
but totally blind. He had
heard Bill fly by his
house on the way to town
and was curious as to
what was going on.
God is the
Promise Keeper
From Liberty UMC
Liberty
United
Methodist Church and
the
Rev.
Rochelle
Ashford-Minor
greet
you again this week.
We have entered the
third week of Advent.
People all over the
world are anticipating
Christmas Day. Our
pastor is preparing us
for the real meaning of
Christmas.
Sunday’s
message
was a continuation of
“God is the Promise
Keeper.” Part 2: What
kind of song are you
singing? Luke 1:26-38
and Luke 1:46-55.
The things we learned
in this text were: (1) God
had a plan from the
beginning. He sent his
angel
Gabriel
to
Nazareth, a town in
Galilee. (2) God’s plan
included a virgin called
Mary. It is somewhat
strange who God uses to
carry out his promise.
(3) Mary believed in
his
promise.
The
Immaculate Conception
was quite marvelous. (4)
Mary sang a song of
praise. She thanked
God for the task she was
asked to do. (5) All of us
have a song to sing. Do
we sing it with thanksgiving and gratitude or
do we complain.
Our Christmas program will be presented
Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
Come join us in witnessing a glorious experience at 21 Martin
Luther King Jr. Drive,
Eupora.
Bill arrived at daddy’s
store and told him what
had happened on the
farm. It just happened
that a fellow by the
name of “Depot“ Davis
was in the store and he
was somewhat of a
shade-tree veterinarian.
After hearing what had
happened he said to
daddy, “Floyd William,
11
grab the shotgun and a
couple of rounds of buckshot.” They loaded up
and headed for the farm
to dispense of the mule.
As they turned off the
road to the farm, they
saw Willis standing by
the house wondering
what was about to happen. Daddy explained to
Willis what happened
and they were going to
have to shoot Dave.
Willis just hung his head
because Kate and Dave
where his prized plowing
mules, and he hated to
see Dave go.
Depot and daddy
arrived at the scene and
sure enough, they could
not do anything for
Dave. They unhooked
him from the mower;
Depot put two slugs in
his head and then
dragged his carcass over
to the tree line for the
buzzards to feast on.
As they left the field,
they stopped by Willis’
house. Willis asked if
they shot Dave. Always
the humorous one, Depot
said, “Naw, I just aimed
the shotgun at his head
and he died of a heart
attack.”
Willis said, “Well, I
heard two shots.”
Just goes to show you
that a man might be
blind but he knows more
than you think.
Charlie Saunders is a
resident of Eupora.

‘10 Fat Turkeys’ at Maben storytime
By Librarian Mary
Boutwell
Maben Public Library
We read about “10 Fat
Turkeys” during storytime at the Maben
Public Library on Nov.
20.
These turkeys were
fooling around on a
fence. We counted down
until no turkeys were
left. The kids had fun
talking
about
the
sounds turkeys make
and most of them had
never eaten turkey.
We sang Mr. Turkey
songs and talked about
being
thankful.
Coloring turkeys, painting and Play-Doh is
always fun at the
library.

Acupuncture talk
RUSSELL HOOD/STAFF
Eupora Rotary Club President Hays Burchfield welcomes Clare Mallory O’Nan, who was guest
speaker at the club’s Nov. 24 meeting. A licensed acupuncturist and doctor of oriental medical, she
owns the North Mississippi Acupuncture and Holistic Center in Columbus. O’Nan said over 8.2 million
Americans receive acupuncture annually and many physicians refer patients to acupuncturists for a
variety of ailments. Acupuncturists use FDA-approved, sterile, single-use disposable needles. O’Nan
said the stimulation from acupuncture moves oxygen and blood, and relieves pain, reduces inflammation and reduces stress.
Be prepared: use resources for predicting frost
By Lelia Kelly and David
Nagel
Extension Horticulture
Specialists
Distributed by Lisa Stewart,
Webster County Director
Typically, by this time
of year we are shutting
down the garden in
preparation for the cold
winter months.
To help gardeners
throughout Mississippi
predict just how much
time you may have locally before a killing
frost/freeze occurs, the
following information
and resources are provided. The duties of the
National
Weather
Service include providing
frost/freeze forecasts. By
using terminology such
as warnings, watches
and
advisories
for
frost/freeze events the
NWS keeps the public
informed.
A warning means that
a damaging event is very
probable in the immediate future or is already
occurring. A watch
means a damaging event
is possible but the timing
or extent is still uncertain. Advisory is used by
the NWS exclusively for
non-severe
weather
events and therefore
may also be used for
frost/freeze situations.
The local frost/freeze
warnings are issued in
the fall until a widespread
killing
frost/freeze has occurred,
ending the growing season. In the spring, warnings are issued only after
the average last freeze
date.
For example, if on
average the last occurrence of 32 degrees is on
April 15, no warnings
will be issued before that
date. This is standard
policy regardless of the
actual start of the grow-
ing season that year. If
there had been an
unusually warm early
spring and plants had
already begun developing, there would still be
no official warnings
issued before April 15.
For the official NWS
forecast for your location,
go to www.weather.gov.
You’ll see a map of the
United States. Click on
your location on the map
and this will take you to
the nearest local NWS
office site where you can
get the latest information. By putting in your
zip code you can find the
seven-day forecast specifically for your location.
The NWS also has an
Education/Outreach
area: nws.noaa.gov/education.php
On this homepage is a
link to a great kid’s page
with all kinds of great
information and games
for the wee ones:
nws.noaa.gov/om/reachout/kidspage.shtml. It
also has a teacher’s page
as well with great
resources to aid teachers.
To get a more specific
idea when cold temperatures are a risk, check
the frost/freeze records
from the NWS. It has
probability charts for the
last occurrence of 32degree temperatures in
the spring and first in
the fall. In addition, low
temperature records for
each day for a nearby
weather service office are
kept. This data is available either from the local
NWS office or from the
National Climatic Data
Center (ncdc.noaa.gov)
You can also resource
weather
information
from the Mississippi
State
University
Extension Service homep
a
g
e
,
msucares.com/weather/i
ndex.html. It has links to
the NWS current conditions and radar for the
MSU main campus,
Columbus, Jackson and
Memphis, Tennessee.
For those of us with
smart phones, all kinds
of weather apps are
available for use. One of
the most popular is The
Weather Channel or
some prefer resourcing
their local TV weather
stations.
By familiarizing yourself with this information, paying attention to
a trusted local meteorologist and noting weather
conditions yourself, you
can best determine when
frost/freeze may strike
and plan your gardening
accordingly. Vegetables
Plants killed by cold
temperatures should be
removed from the garden
as quickly as possible.
The dead plant material
serves as a host for
organism that may be
harmful to the plants left
alive and to future plantings.
Many vegetables will
grow in 20-degree temperatures.
Consider
planting kale, collards,
cabbage, onions and
leeks as well as oddball
things like mache and
claytonia. The last two
are leafy greens we don’t
often find in Mississippi.
Mache is also called corn
salad and is claimed to
be more cold tolerant
than spinach.
Claytonia is also called
miner’s lettuce and may
survive all winter. The
seeds don’t germinate
well if soil temperatures
are above 70 so we often
have to wait until the
first cold rain or frost to
plant. Grow them like
other greens and harvest
outer leaves when they
are about 5 inches long. Eagles bounce back from loss with two key wins

with a 5-1 record.
"It was about the
worse I've ever seen a
team play," said EHS
Danya Turner about
his team's loss to
CCHS. "We didn't do
anything right. We
missed layups, we didn't block out, we didn't
defend."
Turner said he hopes
that experience will
help his Eagles focus as
the season goes along.
Eupora was set to

Tuesday before visiting
Noxapater on Friday
night.
The win over East
Union was a thriller.
Eupora led 30-20 at
the half, only to have
East Union cut it to
three points after three
quarters of play and tie
the game on a 3-pointer
with a couple minutes
left to play. However,
EHS' Dustin Cabiness
responded by knocking
down a 3-pointer of his
own, then EHS picked
up some key steals to
help secure the win.

four-year agreement
CLEVELAND, Miss. - Delta State University
director of athletics Ronnie Mayers announced
Monday, Dec. 14 that the school and head football
coach Todd Cooley have reached an agreement on
a new four-year contract effective Dec. 15, 2015.
Cooley has led the Statesmen to a 22-10 record in
his three seasons at the helm, including a share of
the 2014 Gulf South Conference title.
"Coach Cooley has done a wonderful job of directing our football program on and off the field,"
Mayers said. "He does things the right way, and as
much as we enjoy the victories on the field, it's his
dedication to molding young men of character that
has made such an impact on our campus and community."
Inheriting a team that went 3-7 the year before,
the high-energy Cooley built a cohesive family
atmosphere in less than nine months, finishing his
first season as a head coach 7-3. His peers named
him 2013 Gulf South Conference Coach of the Year
and 11 Statesmen were named to the All-GSC
squad, including GSC Freshman of the Year Tyler
Sullivan, who quarterbacked DSU to a 4-1 mark as
a starter.
DSU averaged 40.0 points per game offensively,
while averaging 472.2 yards per game. The
Statesmen pulled off three victories over nationally
ranked opponents after defeating No. 21 North
Alabama 37-34, No. 14 Tarleton State 38-36 and
No. 24 Valdosta State 63-55.
In 2014, Cooley earned his second consecutive
GSC Coach of the Year accolade, sharing the honor
with Florida Tech's Steve Englehart, after guiding
the Statesmen to a 9-2 record and a share of the
program's seventh conference championship. DSU
received the No. 2 overall seed in Super Region II of
the NCAA Division II Football Championship
Playoff before falling to the University of West
Georgia in the Second Round.
Twelve Statesmen were selected to the All-GSC
squads, while Trey Shaw captured the league's
Defensive Freshman of the Year honor. DSU put
up an impressive 5,395 yards of total offense and
outscored opponents 491-215.
With expectations riding high entering the 2015
season, the Statesmen raced out of the gate to a 40 record and No. 5 national ranking.
Unfortunately, the ride would be short-lived, as
injuries began to mount and derailed a title run for
DSU. The Statesmen finished the year 6-5 overall
and 2-5 in GSC play. The Statesmen finished the
year leading the GSC in passing (312.4), while
ranking second in scoring (36.4) and third in total
offense (426.7).
Eight Statesmen were named to the All-GSC
team, including Richard Nash, who received his
third consecutive postseason honor. Jarvis York, a
senior from Baton Rouge, La., was named a finalist
for prestigious CSPIRE Conerly Trophy after leading the GSC in receiving.
Cooley and his staff's work off the field has been
just as impressive. The Statesmen have increased
their grade point average every year, including a
2.97 overall GPA, including 58 student-athletes
with a 3.0 or higher, in the spring of 2015. The program has also embraced its role in community service, working with local elementary schools and
mentoring groups.
"I'm proud to be the head football coach here at
Delta State University and I'm excited about the
future of our program," Cooley said. "Greater
things are coming for the Statesmen, Delta State
and Cleveland."
Cooley and his staff are currently working on the
program's 2016 recruiting class. The early signing
period for junior college transfers opens
Wednesday, Dec. 16.
East Webster boys, girls split pair in Ethel Tournament
By Austin Bishop
Webster Progress-Times
Both the East Webster boys
and girls won two of the three
games they played last week,
closing things out on a positive manner with wins over
Ethel Friday in the Ethel
Tournament.
The Wolverines rolled to a
53-30 win over the host
Tigers, while the Lady
Wolverines won 42-21.
Both teams had lost to
Nanih Waiya in the EHS
tourney the night before after
beating them earlier in the
week.
"Our boys responded well to
a disappointing effort in our
last outing," EWHS first-year
head coach Mike Seger said.
"The guys executed and
played with more intensity
defensively. I was pleased
with the play of all 10 guys.
John
Carpenter

played at a high level on the
defensive end."
EWHS led 28-14 at the half
and kept stretching its lead
throughout the game. Charlie
Brand knocked down 12
points for the winners, while
Isaac Patterson scored 10,
and Malcomb Jones, and
John Carpenter had nine
each. Brennan Tomlinson
tossed in seven for the
Wolverines.
In the girls game, East
Webster outscored Ethel 19-4
in the second quarter and 162 in the third to take control
of the contest.
"The girls really picked up
the defensive intensity in the
second and third quarters
and we got better shots
against their zone," Seger
said. "Our freshman guards
— Mariah Bell and Kadasha
Bryant — really boosted us
with their intensity defensively."

complete team effort to defeat
a very good Nanih Waiya
team."
Bell had a monster game,
scoring 35 points and claiming seven rebounds, while
Springfield had seven points,
eight assists and six steals.
Things were a little different on Thursday when the
two teams met on the first
day of the Ethel Tournament.
The Wolverines led 28-27 at
the half, but Nanih Waiya
outscored them 25-12 over
the final 16 minutes to take
the 52-40 victory.
"A poor shooting night and
outstanding play from Nanih
Waiya limited our effective-
ness in the rematch," Seger
said. "We hope to learn from
this and improve going forward."
Brand led EW with 15
points, while Thompson and
10.
The Lady Warriors of
Nanih Waiya outscored East
Webster 23-3 in the second
quarter to hold a 29-12 halftime lead over EW on the way
to the 55-39 win.
"We had a poor defensive
showing in the second quarter against a very motivated
Nanih Waiya team," Seger
said. "we finally got some baskets to fall in the second half
but we were unable to dig out
of a big hole."
Springfield led EW with 17
points, while Bell had 12
points and seven boards.
East Webster was set to
host Vardaman on Monday
before visiting Houlka on
Thursday.

Area volunteers serve at OCC center
From Press Reports
A group of 28 volunteers representing 12
area churches served at
Operation Christmas
Child in Atlanta from
Nov. 30-Dec. 2. The
Atlanta center is one of
nine collection centers
located throughout the
United States.
Ann

Mantee coordinates the
local participants each
year. For the past 12
years this OCC mission
trip group of friends has
developed lasting relationships as they strive
to radiate the spirit of
the love of Jesus while
bringing joy to millions
of children around the
world.
The shoeboxes this
group handled were
shipped to Burkina
Faso, Chad and several
sensitive countries. At
10 p.m. on Dec. 1,
516,435 boxes were
loaded for shipment.
Throughout the year
area churches prepare
games, toys, articles of
clothing, crafts, candy
and a large variety of
personal hygiene items
to specific age groups:
ages 2-4, 5-9 and 10-14.
For example, Lollars
Grove Baptist Church
has a bear mission
group that meets every
second Thursday of each
month at 9 a.m. This
year more than 25
crafters
constructed
over 2,600 stuffed fabric
bears to be placed in the
shoeboxes as fillers.
Boxes
from
local
churches are collected
during the month of
November at Mathiston

dents are about to
see and hear.
Emma
Smith
pointed out in a lecture at Oxford
University that the play was written
in about 1596. Smith goes on to say
that it is not always clear that Henry
IV was intended as the first part of the
pair of plays.
The words in this week’s quiz are
from “Henry IV Part 1.” The Quizlet
website features a page titled “King
Henry IV Part 1 Vocabulary.” Let’s
begin with a word found in the first
part of the play.
1. sepulcher (SEP-ul-kur):
A. the platter on which King Henry’s
foods and drinks were placed
B. someone who read to the king
C. a comedic character, such as
Falstaff
D. tomb in the holy land in which
Christ’s body was laid before his resurrection
———
2. palisadoes (pal-uh-SAY-doze)
19
A. rows of stakes placed for defensive reasons
B. dresses worn by individuals of
royalty
C. palatial ornaments
D. flags
In Act II scene 3, palisadoes, a variant of palisades is used, which is referring to fences made out of stakes and
used for enclosure or defense. No. 2 is
A. No. 1, sepulcher, is D.
———
3. vizards (VIZ-urds)
A. abnormal lizards
B. harlots
C. masks
D. wines enjoyed by Falstaff
In Act II, Scene 2, Gadshill says,
“Case you, case you. On with your
vizards.” In other words, cover your
faces, cover your faces. Get your
masks on.” So, No. 3, vizards, is C.
———
4. popinjay (POP-in-jay)
A. a parrot, a coxcomb
B. an entertainer
C. a blister
D. a virago
In Act I, Scene 3, Hotspur reports
being “pestered with a popinjay.” Does
that ever happen to you? No. 4 is A.

MLK
last year, the city
stopped trucks from
driving on city streets
between South Allen
and Hall Road. “They
(log trucks) are staying
on the State Aid side of
the road (MLK north of
the Hall Road intersection) but have to turn
right when they get to
Hall Road,” he said.
Mayor
Dan
Burchfield said the section of city street
involved is about 100
feet of MLK between
Hall Road and Mt.
Vernon Road that is not
under State Aid maintenance,.
He said probably no
more than one or two
loaded log trucks are
going through that
route a day. Burchfield
added that a log truck
driver traveling on that
section of MLK told him
he could not take an
alternate route but that
he was willing to work
with the city. The
mayor also said the city
did not have the
authority to prohibit
loaded trucks from a
“federal
and
state
route.”
“You’d have to prohibit all trucks or have a
weight
limit,”
Burchfield said.
He recommended that
the city lobby the county to apply for that strip
of MLK to be made
apart of State Aid road
system and try to bring
it up to state specifications.
If
done,
Burchfield said that
street section could be
widened and built up,
and the turning radius
of the MLK/Hall Road
intersection could be
widened.
Hugh Gibson (Ward
3) subsequently made a
motion, seconded by
Shaw, to prohibit all
loaded log trucks from
the section of MLK
between Hall Road and
Mt. Vernon Road until
further notice.
