GOODBYE, DR. HOWLAND

Luisa Porter/Dispatch StaffDr. Robert L. Howland, 77, has retired from Columbus Urology Group after 44 years. The Alabama native says that while he feels he could continue practicing, he has decided to “see what happens” next in his life.

By Slim [email protected]

Even at age 77, almost 50 years after receiving his medical degree, there are no obvious indi-cations that Dr. Robert L. Howland should be

stepping down.Dr. Bob, as he is known at Columbus Urology

Group, is tall, lean and fit. In conversation, he is thoughtful and engaging, yet authoritative. After only a few minutes of conversation, you can see why Dr. Bob inspires confidence and trust from his patients.

Why retire? It is not as though he has long-held some burning desire to embark on a new adventure impossible because of his work commitments. He doesn’t expect to travel the world. He has no designs on a second career, at least not yet. He’ll enjoy spend-

ing time with his wife, Debbie, his four children and seven grandchildren. He’ll do some volunteer work at his church, maybe.

“I’m just going to take a deep breath and see what happens,” he says.

After 44 years of practice in Columbus, including 42 years as a surgeon, Howland simply says, “it’s time.”

Howland, who grew up in Scottsboro, Alabama, is a big sports fan, especially when it comes to University of Alabama football. A framed collage of Alabama foot-ball photos is displayed prominently in his office.

It is somewhat natural, then, that he uses a sports analogy to explain his decision.

“You’ve seen players that stayed in the game too long,” Howland said. “I didn’t want to be one of those. That’s why I made the decision to stop doing surgery. I could still do surgery when I decided it was time to stop, but I would rather stop than continue until the point where I couldn’t do it. It’s the same with retiring. I can still do the job, but I just felt it was time.”

Editor’s Note: The Dispatch on Sunday began a series titled “Pieces of a Dynas-ty,” which examines the East Mississippi Community College football team’s rise to national prominence. Today, we look at Buddy Stephens, the head coach of the team throughout its success.

SCOOBA — Buddy Stephens knew the East Mississippi Community College football team hadn’t had a lot of success before he took the job.

He didn’t care.“I really think you can win anywhere,”

said Stephens, who is in his eighth year as the school’s coach. “That is not being brash or arrogant. I just have that belief. If your plan is good enough and you can get the right athletes to run your plan, you can be successful anywhere. The administration has to play a role. The fans have to play a role. But you can get there.”

EMCC had one playoff appearance in its history (1984) before Stephens’ arrival. Now the school has appeared in the postseason in each of his first seven years as coach. A perfect postseason worksheet is impressive considering only four of the 14 Mississippi Associa-

Vasquez murder affidavit reveals more detailsWife, mother-in-law accused in new hope deathBy ANDREW [email protected]

A mother and daughter shot and killed the daughter’s hus-band, burned his body in a barrel and spread his remains through-out the yard of their New Hope home in late June — this accord-ing to affidavits from the case obtained in Lowndes County Jus-tice Court by The Dispatch.

Lydia Martinez, 57, and Chris-tina Vasquez, 38, have both been charged with the murder of Christina’s husband, Manuel Vasquez.

Vasquez has not been seen since June 24. His bank records show no activity since that date, according to the affidavit. The remains found scattered in four piles in the back yard of his Windchase Drive home are presumed to be his, but Lowndes County authorities continue to wait for the of-ficial results from state Crime Lab in Jackson.

The affidavit also states that Lydia Martinez confessed to Vasquez’s murder.

“On July 22, 2015, Lydia Martinez, mother of Christina Martinez, confessed that she, along with Christina Martinez, shot and killed Man-uel Vasquez then disposed of his body,” the af-fidavit states.

The affidavit, prepared by Lt. Tony Coo-per, an investigator with the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office, was signed by a Justice Court judge on July 27. Lydia Martinez and Christina Vasquez had been in custody for five days at the time.

TimelineAccording to the affidavit, Christina Marti-

nez on July 13 reported her husband, Manuel Vasquez, missing. At the time, she said he had left on June 24 on a mission trip.

Manuel Vasquez’s phone records show no incoming calls or messages from his wife since June 24, according to the affidavit.

A friend of Vasquez’s named Paul Vega told The Dispatch that that same date — June 24 —

‘Compton’ tops box office for 3rd week; ‘War Room’ surprises

By JAKE COyLEAP Film Writer

NEW YORK — The Christian drama “War Room” made a surprise bid for the box-office lead, Zac Efron’s music drama “We Are Your Friends” fell completely flat and the N.W.A biopic “Straight Outta Compton” keeps chugging along.

Universal’s “Straight Outta Compton” topped the box office for the third-straight week with $13.2 million at North American theaters over the week-end, according to studio estimates Sunday. The film, which has now made $134.1 million in total, has continued to dominate Au-gust moviegoing. It joins “Jurassic World” as the only movies to lead the box office three consecu-tive weeks this summer.

The late August week-end held scant competition for “Straight Outta Comp-ton,” but “War Room”

nearly matched it. The Sony TriStar release took in $11 million by appealing to faith-based audiences, an often powerful but un-derserved demographic at the multiplex. “War Room” is about an African-Ameri-can family who perseveres through prayer.

“We knew that we were going to get a lot of love, we just didn’t expect quite this much love,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. “This is a genre that we’re very much com-mitted to.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Re-publican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call for mass de-portation of millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, as well as their American-born children, bears similarities to a large-scale removal that many Mexican-American fami-lies faced 85 years ago.

During the Great Depression, counties and cities in the Ameri-can Southwest and Midwest forced Mexican immigrants and their fam-ilies to leave the U.S. over concerns they were taking jobs away from whites, despite their legal right to stay.

The result: Around 500,000 to 1 million Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans were pushed

out of the country during the 1930s repatriation, as the removal is some-times called.

During that time, immigrants were rounded up and sent to Mex-ico, sometimes in public places and often without formal proceedings. Others, scared by the threat of vio-lence, left voluntarily.

About 60 percent of those who left were American citizens, ac-cording to various studies on the 1930s repatriation. Later testimony

showed families lost most of their possessions and some family mem-bers died trying to return. Neigh-borhoods in cities such as Houston, San Antonio and Los Angeles be-came empty.

The impact of the experience on Latinos remains evident today, ex-perts and advocates say.

“It set the tone for later deporta-tions,” said Francisco Balderrama, a Chicano studies professor at Cali-fornia State University, Los Angeles.

HOUSTON — The man charged with capital mur-der in the fatal shooting

of a uniformed suburban Houston sheriff’s deputy had a lengthy criminal re-cord going back a decade, but never spent more than short stints in jail.

Shannon J. Miles, whose criminal record

includes convictions for resisting arrest and disor-derly conduct with a fire-arm, was to be arraigned Monday in the shooting of Darren Goforth, a 10-year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Miles’ ar-rest Satur-day came less than 24 hours after authorities said he ambushed Goforth at a suburban Houston Chev-ron station.

Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said the at-tack was “clearly unpro-voked,” and there is no ev-idence that Goforth knew Miles. Investigators have no information from Miles that would shed light on his motive, Hickman said.

“Our assumption is that he (Goforth) was a target because he wore a uni-form,” the sheriff said.

Miles’ criminal record begins in 2005, when he was convicted of criminal mischief, giving false in-formation to police and resisting arrest, according to records. In 2006, he was convicted of disorderly conduct with a firearm and sentenced to a maximum of 15 days in jail. He was convicted of evading ar-rest in 2007, and his most recent conviction came in 2009 for again resisting arrest.

OXFORD — Students, staff and faculty members at the Uni-versity of Mississippi are tell-ing the state College Board that they want a new chancellor who can unify Ole Miss.

Several people spoke

Thursday as the board held an on-campus listening session as part of its search for a new per-son to lead the university.

The next chancellor will suc-ceed Dr. Dan Jones, a physician who had led Ole Miss since 2009. Protests by students and alumni erupted earlier this year

when the College Board chose not renew Jones’ contract, which expires in mid-Septem-ber. Jones took leave starting in mid-June, and Morris Stocks is serving as interim chancellor.

Eloise Tyner, a junior who is studying public policy leader-ship and Arabic, said she’d like the new chancellor to set high expectations for students.

“From my point of view as a student raised in Mississippi,

a lot of the time there is a very strong message from a lot of the media that you are lesser, and that you will not be able to per-form on the same level as other people in the country,” she said. “And from the moment I set foot on this campus, it’s been made clear that’s not true by the high expectations set forth by the faculty and by Dr. Jones.”

Teresa Carithers, associate dean of the School of Applied

Sciences, said Thursday that Ole Miss needs “a leader with a can-do attitude.”

Some speakers at the Thurs-day session said there needs to be a rebuilding of trust between College Board members and the university.

“There has been a trust defi-cit over what happened with the dismissal of Chancellor Jones,” said Associate Provost Maurice Eftink.

Ole Miss groups discuss qualities sought in new chancellor

BAY ST. LOUIS — Mississippi officials shut down Interstate 10 for about 3 hours after an Iranian national knocked a deputy to the ground and claimed his vehicle contained explosives.

The Sun Herald re-ports Hancock County sheriff’s deputies ar-rested 32-year-old Safa Alidoust, of Lafayette, Louisiana. He faces charges of false report-ing of an explosive de-

vice associated with ter-roristic threats and two counts of simple assault against a law enforce-ment officer.

Chief Deputy Don Bass said the incident occurred about 3:30 a.m. Sunday near the Louisi-ana state line.

Bass says deputies found a shirtless man standing beside a vehi-cle.

He says Alidoust charged at the deputy, yelling in what the depu-ty believed to be Arabic.

DALLAS — Siddharth Jaganath wanted to return to India after earning his master’s degree at Texas’ Southern Methodist Uni-versity. Instead, he built a new life in the U.S. over a decade, becoming a man-ager at a communications technology company and starting a family in the Dallas suburb of Plano.

“You start growing your roots and eventually end up staying here,” the 37-year-old said.

His path is an increas-ingly common one: Im-migrants from China and India, many with student or work visas, have over-taken Mexicans as the largest groups coming into the U.S., according to U.S. Census Bureau research released in May. The shift has been build-ing for more than a decade and experts say it’s bring-ing more highly skilled immigrants here. And some Republican presi-dential candidates have proposed a heavier focus on employment-based mi-

gration, which could ac-celerate traditionally slow changes to the country’s ever-evolving face of im-migration.

Mexicans still domi-nate the overall composi-tion of immigrants in the U.S., accounting for more than a quarter of the for-eign-born people. But of the 1.2 million newly ar-rived immigrants here le-gally and illegally counted in 2013 numbers, China led with 147,000, followed by India with 129,000 and Mexico with 125,000. It’s a sharp contrast to 2000,

when there were 402,000 from Mexico and no more than 84,000 each from India and China. Experts say part of the reason for the decrease in Mexican immigrants is a dramatic plunge in illegal immigra-tion.

“We’re not likely to see Asians overtake Latin Americans anytime soon (in overall immigration population). But we are sort of at the leading edge of this transition where Asians will represent a larger and larger share of the U.S. foreign-born pop-ulation,” said Marc Rosen-blum, deputy director of the U.S. Immigration Pol-icy Program for the Wash-ington-based Migration Policy Institute.

he spoke with Vasquez for the final time.

The affidavit also states that Christina Martinez ordered new master bedroom carpet from Low-es, and that a neighbor witnessed Christina Martinez burning some-thing in a barrel in late June, ac-cording to the affidavit.

Investigators also collected documents Manuel Vasquez left in Vega’s possession, including three titles to Vasquez’s cars. Authorities say Vasquez told Vega he did not approve of his wife’s lifestyle and in-

tended to cut her off financially. Justice court employees told The

Dispatch Friday that a preliminary hearing date has yet to be set in the case.

The release of affidavitsThe affidavits were obtained by

The Dispatch from Lowndes Coun-ty Justice Court on Friday. The Dis-patch was denied access by Justice Court officials a week earlier. Offi-cials at the time said they had been told not reveal documents by the

district attorney’s office.District Attorney Forrest All-

good told The Dispatch last week that there had been a miscommuni-cation between his office and justice court and that he had never meant to deny access of public records.

Chuck Easley, a Columbus lawyer, filed a lawsuit against the county last week after being denied access to the same affidavits. Eas-ley recently met with the suspects in the Lowndes County Adult De-tention Center about representing them.

Possumhaw

The eye of the spiderSpiders are antisocial,

keep pests under control, and mostly mind their own business ...

Donna Lynn Hope, author of “Willow”

Nighttime temperatures fell into the 60s, creating perfect conditions for night-time walks.

There’s been more-than-usual evidence of armadillo diggings. Being as our yard is a Prairie field, we’ve never paid much attention or been bothered by the divots scattered across the lawn. On occasion I’ve actually felt sorry for the critters trying to ferret out grubs in dirt as hard as brickbats. It’s a tough way to get a meal.

So on a couple of cool nights we gathered flashlights and headed into the dark. First, we fanned the lights around

the yard carefully looking for critters; then we sneaked quietly down the stairs and around the bunny pens. The bunnies sat quiet and wide-eyed. They know they are perfectly safe in their hutches.

Sam crept toward the dam while, unbeknownst to him, I wandered to the other side of the house. Shortly I heard him say, “There he is.”

Then in a whisper, “Where are you?” then louder, “Where are you?”

“Over here,” I responded moving close to his side.

He pointed his flashlight to the wood-en bridge over the spillway. “There he goes.”

From behind, the armadillo looked like a large gray roly-poly scurrying into the darkness.

On the way back to the house I got a short lecture on staying close to your partner while on nighttime walks. “OK,” I agreed. “I’ll do better the next time.”

I’m bad to wander off like that.Surprisingly, the next night Sam

suggested another nighttime walk, even though it was his favorite TV night when he watches three episodes of “Wicked Tuna.” There’s nothing that catches Sam’s attention like a big fish. Must have been reruns.

It was another cool night; the moon was about three-quarters full, and the sky was clear. This time I stayed near Sam as we pointed flashlights into the night. That’s when I caught sight of spi-der eyes. Sam introduced me to spider eyes years ago.

If you look closely across the ground, you can pick up glows of light almost like dew sparkles or tiny stars across the yard Those are spider eyes. Mostly they are wolf spiders, nighttime predators.

Wolf spiders have extremely good eyesight; they are pretty much solitary and hunt alone. The spiders are benefi-cial in reducing insect populations. Wolf spiders have eight eyes and produce “eye shine.”

The light from our flashlights catches the eyes of the spider and reflects the light back to the light source, resulting in a glow. It’s like having “yard stars” on the ground and in the woods. Wolf spiders mostly inhabit the ground so there’s no likelihood of running into a web, unlike the webs hanging from the trees.

Hanging webs are exquisite sight-ings, a marvel of engineering, but you wouldn’t want to walk into one. No, that causes one to frantically flail the arms and break into a personal rendition of the “spider dance.”

Voice of the peopleAnswer to letter

I would like to point out some omissions from the letter Armed, but ‘disciplined’ in Friday’s paper, by Mr. Jiben Roy.

As a responsible gun owner — and most of us are because we’re law-abiding citizens — none of us wants to see the needless killings that have happened over the last several years. Mr. Roy quotes Stephen King’s opinion that the NRA board should be drafted to clean up the “mess” after every mass shooting. Really?

Consider this. In almost every instance, the killings occurred in “gun-free zones.” This means law-abiding citizens, who have obtained permits to carry weapons concealed, will obey the law and leave their firearms in their vehicles or at home, where the firearms can do absolutely nobody any good.

However, even the most mentally incompetent/intellectually challenged/crazy person understands this, and knows that if he decides to go on a rampage in a “gun-free zone,” there will most likely be no one there who can stop him. Is that clear enough and sim-ple enough for you to understand? I wish politicians could grasp that simple fact.

In every case the shooters obtained their weapons legally, or violated existing laws to purchase them, or stole them from legal owners. Does anybody really think that we need more/new anti-gun laws, when we don’t enforce the ones we already have?

You are correct that the Second Amendment guar-antees every American citizen the right to own and carry firearms. That includes felons, contrary to what the laws may state. The Supreme Court no longer uses the Constitution to decide if laws are Constitu-tional or not. They just use their personal preference. At least the “Liberal Justices” do.

People who have “gun permits” generally are “dis-ciplined.” It is the crowd of armed punks and gang-bangers who have no discipline. They do not obey the laws.

The current administration is already trying to decide who is competent or not when the issue of gun ownership arises. Guess who is at the top of their watch list? Veterans returning from war zones. They are trained to handle firearms, fully automatic ones I might add, which means they are “disciplined.”

Do you want an unfriendly government authority deciding squat about who is competent or not for anything? How about deciding who can or cannot write letters to the editor? No need to stop with guns, you know.

As far as Chris Rock or just about any other “en-tertainer” giving advice on how to fix any problems in America, these people are more than ignorant of the facts. They are woefully and purposefully misin-formed because it is politically correct to be so. Come to think of it, so are liberal politicians on just about every issue, not only guns.

Mr. Roy, responsible, disciplined gun owners do not want to see the carnage that is getting more and more frequent and violent. Every anti-gun, “gun con-trol” law ever written is unconstitutional.

Want to make people more “disciplined” when han-dling firearms? Good! So do I. Let’s start by drafting every boy AND girl when they turn 18 or graduate from high school. No deferments, except for those completely unable to participate. In other words, only excuse those who are paralyzed from the top of their heads down.

Two benefits would be immediately obvious. One, every person would know how to handle firearms, and two, since politicians children would be serving, there would be fewer wars.

If everybody was a responsible, “disciplined,” concealed-carry, gun owner, I doubt that anybody, no matter how “crazy” or whatever they are, would even think about going onto an elementary school, or a theater, or a cafe, or anywhere else, to kill innocent people. The odds of him getting killed first or at least pretty quick, are too great.

President Trump?The new polls

showing Donald Trump in a strong lead for the Republican nomination tell you just how much trouble the Republican Party is in right now. I’m not saying that the Republican Party will nominate him, but it’s hard to dismiss the new frontrunner as “not serious,” which is what most Republican leaders and elected officials would like to do, when he’s surg-ing and Jeb Bush is falling.

It’s not hard to figure out why some voters are responding to Trump. He says out loud what convention-al politicians wouldn’t, which might be a good thing if what he was saying didn’t smack of racism and sexism. Sure, it’s refreshing to hear someone say out loud what we all know: that in politics, friendships are for sale. But talk of mass deportations of illegal immigrants, whom he de-nounces as criminals and rapists, will cost him any support among the fast-growing Latino elector-ate, and his relentless attacks on women in general and Megyn Kelly in particular explain why more than six in 10 women don’t like him.

So how does a guy who isn’t liked by a majority of the elec-torate stand a serious chance of

being the Republican nominee?

First, because Re-publican caucus-goers and primary voters are not representative of the electorate in general, and the gap is growing because of guys like Donald Trump. The general electorate is majority female; Republican primary and caucus attendees are majority male, and then some. The general electorate is also getting more diverse, while the Republican Party — at least as Trump would define it — is offending the fast-growing Lati-no electorate with his extreme statements about immigration. In the old days, the Dem-ocratic nominee would end up spending most of the general election campaign trying to appeal to white men

because the gender gap wasn’t enough to get you to 51 percent.

Now, if you look at the gap between the two parties in terms of support from women and minorities, it is. Barack Obama would have lost in 2012 with the 1988 electorate; Mitt Romney lost because the electorate has changed. The Republican Party, by contrast, has not.

Second, Trump stands a chance because all he needs is a minority of a minority to take over the Republican field, at least

until the field really narrows. The latest polls show him com-manding the support of about 28 percent of Republican voters, which is far from a majority, but more than enough for a com-manding lead in a multi-candidate race. There are simply too many candidates, which is not only a nightmare for debate producers; it’s also a challenge for the pro-cess. I’m not sure Donald Trump could beat any of the “serious” Republicans in a one-on-one race. But with so many candidates in the game, the winnowing process may well take longer than usual, which means that Trump could keep winning for longer than he “should.” It isn’t always true that a long race leaves the party bitter and divided, as the 2008 Dem-ocratic race showed. But that’s because there really wasn’t a huge divide between the candi-dates, and none at all between their supporters; Clinton support-ers weren’t about to abandon the first African-American to be his party’s nominee for president.

Not so with Trump and his sup-porters. At the very least, he will earn himself a prominent place at the Republican convention, where nobody will be allowed to vet his speech in advance. This is a guy that every Democratic lawyer I know will be ready to run to court to get on the ballot as an Indepen-dent. Having tasted the attention that comes with being a candidate for president, Trump is not going to go gently into the night.

By JULIE ByKOWICZThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Democratic National Commit-tee barely has more cash than it does IOUs, and it is being out-raised month after month by its Republican competitor.

Its $24 million debt from the 2012 presidential election, only recently paid down, has squeezed investments in the next White House race. Under-

developed party resources such as voter data files could become a serious disadvantage for the eventual nominee, particularly if that person is not front-run-ner Hillary Rodham Clinton, who would enter a general elec-tion contest with her own out-reach network.

Those fundraising realities are top of mind as Democratic officials, donors and activists meet Thursday through Sat-

urday in Minneapolis. Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Sens. Jim Webb of Virginia and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island are scheduled to speak to attend-ees Friday.

Federal Election Commis-sion reports tell a disappointing story for the party: The DNC collected $36.5 million in the first six months of the year and

had almost no money in special accounts, including one desig-nated for its convention. It had about $7.6 million in available cash and $6.2 million in debts and loans.

The Republican National Committee, coming out of years in the red, posted $63 million in receipts through June, leaving it with $16.7 million cash on hand and $1.8 million in debts and loans. Party fundraising dominance has flipped: At this point before the 2012 election, the DNC was outpacing the RNC.

Republicans also have been

far more active in using the accounts created last year by Congress that enable donors to give at higher levels, investing about eight times what Demo-crats have.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC’s chairwom-an, said she isn’t worried.

“We are building the orga-nization now to make sure that whoever our ultimate nominee is, they are in the best possible position to win next November,” she said in a statement, “and we are confident we will have the resources we need.”

LOS ANGELES — Wes Craven, the prolif-ic writer-director who startled audiences with iconic suburban slashers like “Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Scream,” has died. He was 76.

In a statement, Cra-ven’s family said that he died in his Los Angeles home Sunday, surround-

ed by family, after bat-tling brain cancer.

Craven helped reinvent the teen horror genre with 1984’s “A Night-mare on Elm Street.” The movie and its indelible, razor-fingered villain Freddy Krueger (played by Robert Englund) led to several sequels, as did his 1996 success, “Scream.”

“He was a consummate filmmaker and his body of work will live on for-ever,” said Weinstein Co.

c o - c h a i r -man Bob Weinstein, w h o s e D i m e n -sion Films p r o d u c e d “ S c re a m .” ‘’My broth-er (Harvey Weinstein) and I are eter-nally grateful for all his collaborations with us.”

Besides his work in horror films, Craven also directed the 1999 dra-ma “Music of the Heart,” which earned Meryl Streep an Oscar nomina-tion. But Craven’s name

will always be synony-mous with horror.

“Horror films don’t create fear,” Craven said. “They release it.”

Wesley Earl “Wes” Craven was born in Cleve-land, Ohio, on Aug. 2, 1939, to a strictly Baptist family. Though he earned a Master’s Degree in phi-losophy and writing from John Hopkins University and briefly taught as a college professor in Penn-sylvania and New York, his start in movies was in pornography, where he worked under pseud-onyms.

EMCCcontinued from Page 1a

tion of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) programs reach the state playoffs each season.

However, the numbers get even better. EMCC won the MACJC state championship in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2014. It won the National Junior College Athletic Associ-ation (NJCAA) national championship in 2011, 2013, and 2014. EMCC also won all four bowl games played under Ste-phens — the Mississippi Bowl in 2009, 2013, and 2014 and the El Toro Bowl in 2011.

Stephens is 69-10 in his eight seasons at EMCC.

No. 1 EMCC can tie the national record for consec-utive wins Thursday night when it plays at No. 7 Co-piah-Lincoln C.C. EMCC enters the game with 25 straight wins, one shy of Blinn College’s (Texas) 26 straight from 1995-97. The previous MACJC record of 23 set by Pearl River C.C. from 2003-05.

One common denomi-nator in the two longest in-state streaks is Stephens, who was an assistant coach in PRCC’s run a decade ago.

“Buddy is the most detail-oriented coach I have ever been around,” said PRCC third-year head coach William Jones, who was Stephens’ defen-sive coordinator for five seasons before getting his head coaching job. “It is all about perfection. From uniforms to pre-game meals, to execution on the field. Everything connect-ed to the program is on that different level. It takes a special student-athlete to perform in that program. He does a great job of finding those players.

“It is a model that can be replicated if the right

things are in place.”

A ‘lifer’Stephens calls him-

self a “junior college lifer.” Having played in the MACJC system (at PRCC), he followed that up with seven years as an assistant coach at PRCC. Dr. Rick Young had a vision to move athletics forward when he took over as EMCC’s president in 2004. The vision involved a new stadium and hiring the right man to take over.

Current EMCC Presi-dent Dr. Thomas Huebner has learned quickly the special nature of the foot-ball program at EMCC.

“Football is a way to get your brand out nationally,” Huebner said. “Buddy and his staff have been able to do that. Successful ath-letic teams build morale on campus. They lead to increased enrollment. The exposure garnered by the football program can’t be measured.”

During the hiring process, Stephens said the administration expressed a willingness to give the coach the things he needed to be successful. The new football stadium opened 2011 and was immediately considered the best in the state.

EMCC also benefited from the elimination of recruiting districts. Now preferred student-ath-letes aren’t required to attend a community college close to home and can sign anywhere in the state.

“It is a perfect example of what (the administra-tion is) doing to make this work,” Stephens said. “In 2011, when the districts went away, we had to re-evaluate how we were doing things. The

recruiting area become much wider. As we have won games and had success, we have now become the No. 1 choice in the state. We feel like if a player in-state wants to play junior college foot-ball and we want him, he is going to come here.”

Sophomore wide receiver Corey Davis, of Meridian, remembers the day the offer came from EMCC.

“Being invited to play here is a big day,” Davis said. “A lot of people think negatively about ju-nior college football, but the (MACJC) is a tough league. So many players have gone on to play Division I ball, and even in the NFL after play-ing here. Not all junior college offers are alike. When coach Stephens and coach (offensive co-ordinator Marcus) Wood tell you they want you, that changes everything immediately.”

EMCC also has found the right combination of out-of-state performers to make the system go. All of the recent quarter-backs have moved on to successful senior col-leges — Randall Mackey (Ole Miss), Bo Wallace (Ole Miss), Quez John-son (Florida Atlantic), Dontreal Pruitt (Florida Atlantic), Todd Mays (Oklahoma State), and Chad Kelly (Ole Miss).

“The plan is simple re-ally,” Stephens said. “It is a wide-opening offensive attack. We feature short passes, long passes. Our running backs get good work even though they get lost in the numbers sometimes. The goal is to score within two minutes on every possession. The quarterback has to react quickly. When the ball

is snapped, he has six or seven options at the line of scrimmage.”

Mays, an All-Amer-ican at Olive Branch High School, played one season at Arkansas State before transferring back to the Magnolia State. After two seasons as a quarterback, running back, receiver, and kick returner for EMCC, Mays is at Oklahoma State.

“(The coaches) prom-ise they can make you big time,” Mays said. “They make good on those promises. In my time there, I really grew as a player, and I also grew as a person. It is a special place.”

Stephens doesn’t plan to leave.

“I live in a good place (Meridian),” Stephens said. “The administration does everything we need to be successful. The money is good enough for my family to have everything they want. I don’t think you ever say ‘never’ because you just don’t know. However, I think you could call me a ‘junior college lifer’ and the label would fit.

“We are really molding young men’s lives. We are helping them become better husbands, work-ers, brothers, and sons. Through the game of football, they are learning about life. We have some second-chance players where it didn’t work out at that first stop. We take pride in the success stories.

“It is all about making a difference. Not only have we made a differ-ence, but we are also being highly successful on the field. That helps.”

Howlandcontinued from Page 1a

Howland saw his last patient Thursday. All that remains is to tie up the loose ends and pack.

He earned his bach-elor’s degree from The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, before attending medical school at The University of Alabama-Birming-ham. To help pay for med school, he applied for a state scholarship, which required a five-year commitment to practice medicine in Alabama.

Upon receiving his medical license he spent two years in general practice in his hometown of Scottsboro, before returning to UAB for his surgical residency. While there, he worked with a urologist, Dr. Lamar Miller.

“I was trying to decide what sub-specialty I want-ed to pursue,” Howland said. “After working with Dr. Miller, I began to get interested in urology, so that was the sub-specialty I chose to pursue.”

During that training, he met Dr. Bill Gates, who had an established urolo-gy practice in Columbus. Gates asked Howland to join his practice.

“I started here on July 1, 1971 and I’ve been here ever since,”Howland said. “Since then, I’ve had opportunities to move, but Columbus became home to me. I can’t imag-ine practicing anywhere else.”

Over the course of more than four decades, much has changed in the profession.

“I started right at the time that Medicare and Medicaid were just getting started,” he said. “Before then, it was much more of patient-doctor arrangement. So that was a big change.

“So was the record keeping, which is com-puterized now and that’s something that took a while for an old dinosaur like me to learn.”

The advancement in technology, both in surgical equipment and diagnostics, is also far different now than when he began practicing medicine.

“You really relied much more on your observations, what you were seeing with the patient, his medical history. About the only

thing we had back then were X-rays, which don’t provide the kind of information we see from the technology out there today.

“In a sense, I never did finish med school. You are always reading, study-ing and learning about something new.”

What hasn’t changed in all that time is some-thing that was always Dr. Bob’s strong suit — rela-tionships.

“After all this time, there are a lot of things I won’t really miss,” he says. “But what I will miss are my patients and the staff here. That’s always been the best part of what I do. So, even though I’m retiring, they won’t be getting rid of me. I’ll be around.”

WASHINGTON — Shrinking glaciers, Arctic temperatures and a mix of messy energy politics await President Barack Obama on his his-toric trip to Alaska. Even before he departed, Obama was making waves with a decision to rename Alaska’s famed Mount McKinley despite a backlash from Ohio politicians.

Obama flies to Anchorage this morning for a three-day tour of the nation’s largest state, closely cho-reographed to call attention to the ways Obama says climate change is already damaging Alaska’s stun-ning scenery. By showcasing thaw-ing permafrost, melting sea ice and eroding shorelines, Obama hopes to raise the sense of urgency to deal quickly to slow climate change in the U.S. and overseas.

His excursion north of the Arc-tic Circle will make Obama the first sitting president to step foot in the Alaska Arctic, home to Alaska Na-

tives who have received less atten-tion amid Obama’s recent efforts to improve conditions for Native Americans. In a major show of soli-darity, Obama announced on the eve of his trip that his administration is changing the name of North Amer-ica’s tallest peak, Mount McKinley, to Denali, its traditional Athabascan name.

Obama’s move to strip the moun-tain of its name honoring former President William McKinley, a son of Ohio, drew loud condemnations from Ohio lawmakers, including House Speaker John Boehner, who said he was “deeply disappointed” in the decision.

“This political stunt is insulting to all Ohioans, and I will be working with the House Committee on Nat-ural Resources to determine what can be done to prevent this action,” added Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-Ohio.

In renaming 20,320-foot Mount McKinely as Denali, Obama was instating a moniker Alaskans have

informally used for centuries. The name means “the high one” in Atha-bascan.

Yet Obama was to navigate far more turbulent political waters when he arrived Monday afternoon in An-chorage, where his grand declara-tions on climate change have been met with skepticism by leaders in a state that’s heavily dependent on oil revenues that have fallen precip-itously.

LOS ANGELES — Jake Arrieta had been building toward this moment. He’d come achingly close to holding opponents hitless three times last year in a breakout season with the Chicago Cubs.

Finally, it happened — near Hollywood, no less.

Arrieta threw the second no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 days, leading the Cubs to a 2-0 victory Sunday night.

He struck out a season-high 12 and walked one, becoming the third opposing pitcher to achieve a no-hitter at Dodger Stadium.

“He’s starting to create more buzz around him,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “To do it under these circumstances, in this ballpark, against this team, with a pretty good audience, that should pretty much put him on everybody’s radar.”

With 46,679 in attendance — including his wife and two kids — and a national television audience looking in, Arrieta became the first 17-game winner in the majors this season by throw-ing the 14th no-hitter in Cubs history.

“It’s something everybody wants,” he said. “It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve been close on a couple of occasions, and tonight I was just fortunate that everything aligned right.”

Last year, Arrieta (17-6) became the first Cubs pitcher since 1950 to take a no-hitter into the seventh inning three times in one season. He tossed a one-hit shutout against Cincinnati last Sept. 16 at Wrigley Feld, allowing his first hit to Brandon Phillips with one out in the eighth.

Arrieta had a then career-high 10 wins last season after going 4-2 in nine starts for the Cubs in 2013, when he was acquired from Baltimore that July.

EDISON, N.J. — Jason Day, so poor as a kid that he shopped at a store where he stuffed as much used clothing as he could into a bag for $5, is trying not to think about the potential of a $10 million bonus for win-ning the FedEx Cup. That’s still four weeks away.

Day, so cocksure as a teenager that he talked about being No. 1 even before he was a PGA Tour rookie, is trying to keep his mind off the possibility

he could rise above Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth and claim the top spot in the world rank-ing. That could be as little as one week away.

His six-shot vic-tory Sunday in The Barclays opened a world of possibilities.

Day has a great grip on that at the moment. Fresh off his first major title at the PGA Championship, he used that frightening blend of power and putting to bury another world-class

field at The Barclays. Day finished off a sensational weekend at Plainfield Country Club with an 8-un-der 62, the lowest closing round by a winner this year on the PGA Tour.

Henrik Stenson got within two shots after back-to-back birdies until he stalled with four holes to play, and Day made a pair of long putts across the green for birdies to stretch the lead and give him a peace-ful walk up the 18th hole.

Relentless to the end, he

hit driver to the edge of the green and made birdie to complete a 63-62 weekend.

McIlroy, who didn’t play in the opening Fe-dEx Cup playoff event so he could give his ankle an extra week of rest, moved back to No. 1 when Spieth missed the cut at The Bar-clays. That figured to be a two-man battle for the next month, except that now it’s a three-man race.

Day could go to No. 1 with a victory at the Deut-sche Bank Championship at the TPC Boston, which starts Friday.

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State junior defensive end A.J. Jeffer-son will be looked to as a leader this season, but he will lead his way.

Jefferson is one of six returning let-termen on the defen-sive line who will try to help the Bulldogs make up for the gradu-ation losses of Preston Smith, Kaleb Eulls, P.J. Jones, and Curtis Virges. Fans will get to see his unique lead-ership style at 9 p.m.

Saturday, when MSU plays South-ern Mississippi in the season opener for both teams in Hattiesburg. Fox Sports 1 will broadcast the game live.

“He’s (defensive line coach David

Turner) always telling me, ‘47, you’ve got to bring some juice and energy to the group,’ ” Jefferson said. “That’s just my personality. I’m just a goofy guy, and I love to laugh and play. He knows once I go out there, I love play-ing football, so I’m going to make it fun for everybody.

“I don’t think it’s more of a differ-ence. I feel myself having to be more of a vocal leader this year with Kaleb, P.J., and Preston gone.”

Along with Jefferson, Turner has six other juniors and a senior (defen-sive end Ryan Brown) up front. After losing four key contributors, there are plenty of leadership opportunities for Jefferson.

“A.J. loves football,” Turner said. “It’s obvious by the way he attacks it. Every day is the same. He works hard and he gets better.”

Last season, Smith often was the first player people talked about when they discussed the Bulldogs’ offen-sive line. He began his senior season with three-straight Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week awards and finished with 15 tackles for loss and nine sacks. The Washington Redskins used the 38th overall pick in the second round of the NFL draft to add him to their roster.

Brown, Eulls, Jones, and Virges also played significant roles, but Jefferson held his own with 28 tack-les (seven for loss), two and a half sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.

“He’s kind of sneaky good,”

Jones — the last car on the lead lap — for near-ly five laps without Shaw or Marsh gaining any ground.

“We were all kind of on the same playing field with the track rubbered up,” Thrash said. “The lap traf-fic was running about the same speed as we were, so it wasn’t holding me up too bad. I couldn’t really run the line I wanted to, but a couple of them moved out of the way and let me get by, and that helped me. If we moved up, I would have been passed.”

Getting out of the best line, which proved to be the only line, was a gam-ble for drivers. The track slicked up early in the

Thrash erases season of bad luck with first victory at Magnolia Motor Speedway

If you asked Nick Thrash how his season had been going Saturday prior to the NeSmith Late Model race at Magnolia Motor Speedway, he would have said, “Horribly.”

Coming off a 15th-place finish last week, the 20-year-old Meridian na-tive entered the $2,000-to-win race with one top-five finish this season.

But Saturday, there was no trace off the bad luck that has followed him this year. Thrash was flawless through qualifying and the feature, starting on the poll and leading every lap of the feature to clinch his first win.

“We’ve been working hard, doing a lot of work on the car,” Thrash said. “I owe this win to a lot of people: my mom and dad,

McDevitt Enterprises, the Eaton Clinic. Without them, I couldn’t do any of this.”

Thrash staved off a

challenge from Jeremy Shaw and Bryant Marsh, who finished third and second, respectively, but was rarely threatened.

Marsh and Shaw ap-peared to have an open-ing when Thrash caught lap traffic after 10 laps, but Thrash trailed Steven

Tokyo beats Lewisberry for Little League title

By The Associated Press

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — With more than 42,000 fans cheering against them, the Tokyo players found themselves down eight runs in the first inning of the Little League champion-ship game against Lewisberry, Pennsylvania.

That brought out manager Junji Hidaka’s inner Yogi Berra and sparked a record rally that saw the Kitasua Little League pound out 22 hits in an 18-11 comeback victory in a battle of undefeated teams.

“I told the players it doesn’t end until it ends,” Hidaka said through a translator.

Tokyo responded with seven runs in the sec-ond, four in the third, and five in the sixth.

Masafuji Nishijima had four hits and six RBIs, and Shingo Tomita hit two of Tokyo’s five home runs.

Tokyo’s third pitcher, Nobuyuki Kawashima, held Lewisberry in check most of the game, giving up one run and two hits in five innings.

“Today my fastball wasn’t going fast enough,” said the 12-year-old, who lived for four years in California, and speaks fluent English. “I knew my breaking ball had to be on the corner, down low, where the batters can’t reach too far or it just gets them off-balance.”

What We LearnedWhat We Learned from Week Two ...

n 1. COLUMBUS STILL HAS TURNOVER ISSUES: Last season, Columbus was in a position to win on most Friday nights. However, the Falcons had a difficult time with turn-overs. In a 46-7 loss to Noxubee County, Columbus turned the ball over six times. In a crushing 20-7 Class 6A, Region 2 loss to Northwest Rankin, Columbus turned it over seven times. That’s why coach Randal Montgomery had to be pleased it Columbus gave it away once in a season-open-ing victory against Kemper County. Unfortunately, the turn-over bug bit again Friday night with six giveaways in a 25-8 loss to Noxubee County. Columbus has the talent to make the playoffs, but it must keep possession more often.n 2. WEST POINT STARTS STRONG: One of the most interesting storylines entering the season was whether West Point was ready to make a run at reigning North State Class 5A champion Oxford in the Class 5A, Region 1 race. A year ago, Oxford rallied past West Point in a regular-season game and in the postseason. If the opener is any indication, the Green Wave might have more bite this year. West Point opened the season Friday night with a 46-7 win at Louisville. When Scott Lashley seals off the end and Marcus Murphy gets free on a consistent bases, West Point will be hard to beat.n 3. STARKVILLE IS JUST FINE WITH ONE PREMIER RECEIVER: Raphael Leonard and A.J. Brown teamed to give Starkville the best 1-2 punch in wide receivers in the state last season. Brady Davis also had good options, such as Keyon Higgins. Well, it’s a new year, new head coach, and new quarterback. However, the Yellow Jackets still have Brown. The fact that he is the focal point of the other team’s defensive plan hasn’t stopped Brown from making plays. He has an amazing 30 catches in two games against Noxubee County and Oxford. Just wait until Murrah and Greenville pop up on the schedule.n 4. LOCAL ACADEMIES MIGHT HAVE STAYING POWER: Starkville Academy and Oak Hill Academy are off to 2-0 starts under new coaches Chase Nicholson and Chris Craven, respectively. A lot was expected of Starkville Academy with a minimum of six starters back on both sides of the ball from last season’s state championship game participant. However, there were a lot of question marks surrounding the Oak Hill Academy program. So far, so good. Not only are both 2-0, but they have outscored the four opponents by a combined score of 164-15. The new Mississippi Association of Independent realignment was kind to both teams. It appears long postseason runs are possible. Meanwhile, Heritage Academy and Columbus Christian are working through some early season adversity but also have strong chances to make the playoffs.n 5. TWO GREAT WEEKS TO START THE SEASON:Rarely can one remember this many good early season matchups. The Starkville-Noxubee County and Starkville- Oxford games were top notch. While the final score wasn’t indicative, the Noxubee County-Columbus was close and hard-fought as well. New Hope and Aberdeen played a whale of a game Friday, and Caledonia might have had the best win in Week 1 (at Shannon). Look for the trend to continue this weekend with Starkville at West Point and New Hope at Columbus headlining the schedule.

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: Three years ago I gave

my adult daugh-ter, married with a child, more than $16,000 to help pay off her debts because she couldn’t pay her bills. She and her husband main-tain separate accounts, which I find odd. He pays certain expenses; she pays others. Now I find she’s deep in debt again and needs more help.

I’m 69, married and retired. We have some savings and I’d like to help her. However, I’m afraid if I take more money out of our savings, we may not have enough to cover an emer-gency or if either of us needs nursing home care.

She is a good and loving daughter, and I feel bad that I may not be able to help her. Do you see any solution to my problem? -- DENNIS IN VIRGINIA

DEAR DENNIS: You must stop enabling your adult daughter. Rather than offer more of your savings, it’s important to find out what is causing her spending problem. (Drugs? Depression? A shopping addiction?) Then

steer her and her husband to a credit counseling organization that can help her with-out placing your future welfare in jeopardy.

Legitimate credit counsel-ing firms are affiliated with the National Foun-dation for Credit Counseling, the Association of Credit Counseling Professionals, or the Association

of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies. This isn’t your problem, and it shouldn’t be. You have done enough.

DEAR ABBY: Last weekend we had our children and grand-kids over for a family birthday. We looked after the children, cooked, waited on everyone and cleaned up afterward while the adults sat texting or playing on their cellphones.

Abby, this is not so much a question as an observation for anyone of any age who is invit-ed to visit someone’s home:

Spending time on the cell-phone rather than socializing is rude. It says our company is not valued. It says that neither we nor your children are important enough for your

attention. It teaches children that it isn’t necessary to be social, offer to help clear the table, or be gracious and appreciative when someone prepares a meal for them.

The visit left a bitter taste, and it will be a long time before we invite our children and grandchildren to our home again. I know cellphones are part of our culture, but adults still have the power to choose what is important and turn them off! -- DISCONNECTED IN MIDTOWN, TENN.

DEAR DISCONNECTED: Now that you have vented, may I pose a question? While your children were sitting on their fannies after the meal, did you or your spouse TELL them you needed help, that their children needed minding and that their behavior was rude? Because if you didn’t, please recognize that the behaviors you described do not spring up overnight, and you may be partly responsible for how your children turned out.

‘’Not inviting them for a long time” isn’t the answer, because they may not get the “hint.” If you say what’s on your mind, you may startle them into modeling better be-havior for their children before it’s too late. Putting into words how their behavior made you feel would be more direct and more effective.

Dear Abby

HoroscopesTODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.

31). The exploration you do in September helps you to join with your lost self -- a process that opens the world to you. Next month features a group event that launches you as an individual. October will involve travel. November will bring family into your business -- and maybe you won’t like it at first, but ultimately it will help. Pi-sces and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 1, 14 and 36.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a gap to close. It’s a chasm between what you want and what your loved ones want. Luckily, there’s a compro-

mise that can be reached with minimal effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a skill you’re trying to hone, and hone it you will. The wise ones say you have to work your way through the bad times to have some good ones. Bottom line: If you don’t give up, you’ll improve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your goal is to share the trea-sures of the moment equally and in peace. You believe in the universal brotherhood of man, and your actions reflect your belief.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today’s rumors spread fast and far. They don’t have to be

true to be mobile. Be wary and slow to believe any of it. Also, don’t repeat what you hear.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The day centers on the people you care about. You’ll be comforted and challenged by them. Also, they don’t have to be blood related to be important to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The things you most want to do are not always wise or even rational. That doesn’t make them bad choices. Some of the most important actions you’ll take won’t make immediate sense.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When no one else is around, there’s still someone worth socializing with: you. You are one of the most important people you could ever get to know. Strive to learn more about yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your environment is lousy with gossip these days. Also, complaints are contagious. That’s why before you open your mouth, you check your-self. Is what you’re going to say something you’d like others to repeat?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The way to peace will be apparent to you in the moment. You’ll have a choice then. Do you do what your ego would prefer, or do you make the peaceful choice?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one who has enchant-ed you still has a hold over you even now -- months and years after the enchantment should have worn off. All the best spells have staying power.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Of all the people in your midst, it’s the creative and inventive ones who make your life better. One idea leads to another, and suddenly a dull day is a life filled with adventure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you try to compete, you give away the advantages that kept you in a competitive position. Back off. What would you do if you knew you were in a league of your own?

ThrashContinued from Page 1B

night, and track officials wa-tered the cushion and the top quarter near the wall prior to the start of the Super Late Model race, which preceded the NeSmith Late Model race.

Drivers in the Super Late Model race used multiple lines, as Chad McCool, who finished eighth, ran the last 10 laps of the race along the walls in all four turns. But the grip wasn’t there for NeSmith Late Model drivers in their feature, which forced drivers into a sin-gle-file line around the bottom of the track.

“Even if you are a little bit faster, you gotta wait until somebody moves out of the way when it’s rubbered up like it was,” Shaw said. “I felt like we were good enough to run second. When we got in lap traffic early, I felt like my only

chance to pass him was to try the top one time, and there just wasn’t anything left up there.”

The race featured one cau-tion on the 22nd lap, but it didn’t provide any opportuni-ties for Shaw and Marsh to get Thrash on a re-start.

“I really thought there’d be more cautions than that,” said Marsh, 15, of Corinth. “At that point, it really didn’t help us that that caution came up. We were coming pretty good before that caution came out. I think it hurt us. We had the heat built up in our tires, and that caution kind of killed us.”

For Shaw, tire tempera-ture became an issue late in the race, and the caution flag helped him.

“I blistered my tires there on that long run,” Shaw said, “and under caution, I rolled

around the infield under the caution in a little bit of mud to try and cool them off, maybe get them to fire again on the restart, but with three laps left, there really wasn’t enough time.”

Daniel Bridgman and Jamey Boland rounded out the top five.

In other race action, Ronnie Lee Hollingsworth won the Su-per Late Model feature. Dallas Cooper, Jamie Pickard, Tony Shelton, and Buddy George rounded out the top five. Lee Ray won the Street Stock fea-ture. Jay Burchfield, TK King, Chase Washington, and Spen-cer Hughes rounded out the top five. Jason Byrd won the Factory Stock feature. Jennifer Byrd, Brad Gable, John John-son, and Josh Lawley rounded out the top five.

JeffersonContinued from Page 1B

Turner said. “He got better on me last year and he was doing things and I was like, ‘Wow, that’s A.J.’ Everybody obviously remembers Preston, but A.J. did some real-ly good things last year. I think it started about midway through the season and he started to figure it out and he works at it.”

Jefferson has played in all 26 games the past two seasons but hasn’t drawn a start. However, the Summit native hasn’t rested on his laurels. After having 20 tackles (four for loss) and two sacks as a freshman , Jefferson showed he was ready to do more last season. After the 2014 campaign, he worked hard to improve his pass rushing.

“I feel like as far as me trying to stay on the edges, it’s not running right down the man,” Jefferson said. “I feel like I made big strides with that.”

To improve that aspect of his

game, Jefferson watched Brown and junior college transfer Johna-than Calvin throughout spring practices and offseason workouts. Calvin played defensive end for two seasons at Copiah-Lincoln Commu-nity College and was ranked the fifth-best junior college defensive end in the country by Rivals.com before joining the Bulldogs in Janu-ary. He finished last season with 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks.

“Everybody has something they’re good at,” Jefferson said. “I think I’m a good counter rusher. Johnathan Calvin, he’s a good speed rusher. Sometimes he doesn’t even let the tackle get the outside hand on him. It’s him running, getting to the spot and dipping. (It’s) pretty much watching those guys, trying to copy them, and stealing what I can from them.”
