Funding contingent on Legislature renewing 2-percent tax
By AMANDA LIEN
alien@cdispatch.com
The Columbus-Lowndes Conven-
tion and Visitors Bureau has formally
agreed to fund seven local festivals this
year, pending the renewal of a 2-percent
restaurant sales tax.
CVB’s board on Monday approved
an interlocal agreement with Columbus
and Lowndes County that would divert
a total of $87,500 to the festivals — or
$12,500 each. Those festivals include
Juneteenth, Southside Townsend Park
Blues Festival, Seventh Annual Heri-
tage Festival and Market Street, all in
Columbus; as well as Caledonia Days,
Artesia Days and the Crawford Cotton
Boll.
The Attorney General’s Office must
approve the interlocal agreement for it
to be valid, and the Legislature must es-
tablish the restaurant sales tax this ses-
sion for anything to be official.

Reeves: Strong revenue no Mississippi treasurer

‘I’m not afraid to say ‘no,’ sometimes even
to my friends. And I have no plans to change just
because this is an election year.’
By EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Re-
publican Lt. Gov. Tate
Reeves said Monday
that Mississippi tax
collections are better
than expected for the
first half of the bud-
get year, but he said
Reeves
that doesn’t mean the
state should spend more money.
The state budget year started in
July. From then through December,
state revenues were $85.5 million
higher than they were during the
same period a year earlier, accord-
ing to the Legislative Budget Of-
fice. That is a 3.3 percent increase.
Reeves said most categories
of tax collections, including sales
taxes and individual and corporate
income taxes, are seeing increases.
“This is in spite of, or some of us
would argue because of, the larg-
est tax cut in Mississippi history
being implemented as we speak,”
Reeves said at a public policy forum
in Jackson. He said the increases in
revenue should not be “an excuse to
spend, spend, spend.”
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant in
2016 signed into law a package of
tax cuts that were projected to re-
duce state revenue by $415 million
over 12 years. It included the phas-
ing out of the corporate franchise
tax, a reduction in the personal in-
come tax and a reduction in self-em-
ployment taxes.
Reeves, who is running for gov-
ernor this year to try to succeed
the term-limited Bryant, said he
expects most state agencies will
receive about the same amount of
money in the coming year that be-
gins July 1 as they did in the current
year. He said he expects lawmakers
to fund a request by the state pen-
sion system and to approve pay rais-
es for teachers and state employees.
Reeves, who presides over the
state Senate and is one of the top
budget writers, did not offer details
of how large those raises could be.
Legislators usually set final bud-
gets in late March or early April.
“I’m not afraid to say ‘no,’ some-
times even to my friends,” Reeves
said. “And I have no plans to change
just because this is an election
year.”

JACKSON — Mississippi’s sec-

day that she is running for attorney

tect gun rights, fight opioid abuse
and crack down on human traffick-
ing.
Republican Lynn Fitch of Ridge-
land is traveling the state this week Fitch
to discuss her candidacy for the state’s top legal
job.
The fourth-term attorney general, Democrat
Jim Hood, is running for governor this year.
Fitch began her career 34 years ago as an as-
sistant attorney general. She has also been a staff
attorney for the Mississippi House, an attorney in
private practice, deputy director of the Mississip-
pi Department of Employment Security and direc-
tor of the state Personnel Board.
“The broad experience and my skill set of the
law, finance, policy and administration have com-
pletely prepared me to serve as your attorney gen-
eral,” Fitch, 57, said Monday at the Capitol.
Fourth-term Republican state Rep. Mark Bak-

race.

Big winners in Trump

rollback of wetlands
rules? Developers
By ELLEN KNICKMEYER
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump

pointed to farmers Monday as winners from the
administration’s proposed rollback of federal pro-
tections for wetlands and waterways across the
country, describing farmers crying in gratitude
when he ordered the change.

Sean McDonnall noted
that though the houses
will offer different focus-

the same standards the

of Education requires for
earning a high school di-
ploma.
The new academic
houses will work in con-
junction with a “freshman
focus” course the district
introduced this year. In
that class, Peasant said,
students are introduced
to 16 career clusters that
contain all of the various
avenues for work.
“They are exposed to
those and learn extensive-
ly about those career clus-
ters and what’s contained
in them,” he said. “That
prepares them for going
into their 10th-grade year,

they’re going to take —

SLIMANTICS

The Founding Fathers had it right: newspapers are essential

This is going to
sound a bit self-serv-
ing, I realize, but
newspapers — no
matter the platform
— are essential to
nation’s welfare,
something our
Founding Fathers
realized from the
start.
In fact, our U.S.
Constitution, as Slim Smith
originally crafted,
was insufficient in
laying out the framework of
our country. Three years after
the Constitution was ratified, a
group of 10 amendments were
added to ensure rights that had
not been included in the original day pass, of course.
document.
The first of those amend-
ments ensured freedom of
speech and “of the press.” The
Founders made specific men-
tion of the press, even though it
might have been protected by
the “freedom of speech” guar-
antee. The Founders wanted
no ambiguity when it comes
to a free press. It was just that
important.
Today, the press is being at-
tacked in one way the Founders
probably anticipated
and in another way
they could not.
President Trump
has attacked the
press repeatedly,
calling it “Fake
News,” claiming
on more than one
occasion that jour-
nalists are “enemies
of the people,” and
suggesting that libel
laws be changed to
restrain the media.
Politicians have been making
claims of unfair coverage for
generations, but few had taken it
to the extreme we see today.
Trump’s diatribes will some-
The greater threat to the free
press has nothing to do with
politics and everything to do
with economics.
Newspapers throughout
the country continue to fail.
Many that remain have greatly
reduced their staffing as the
newspaper industry struggles to
survive.
This week, Alden Global, a
hedge fund with a reputation
for milking the newspapers it
acquires, made a hostile take-
over bid of Gannett, the nation’s
largest newspaper chain, with
more than 100 daily newspapers
(including USA Today) and
more than 1,000 weeklies.
Even before the take-over
bid, Gannett had built its own
reputation for, uh, austerity, cut-
ting staff to satisfy shareholders
at almost all of its properties.
Other corporate newspaper
companies, McClatchy for
example, are employing similar
tactics as newspapers continue
to struggle to meet shareholder
demands.
Newspapers in Jackson
(Gannett) and on the coast (Mc-
Clatchy) are now operating with
what can only be described as
skeleton staffs after deep cuts
to staffing, especially among its
most accomplished senior staff.
The same thing is happening
all over the country.
Only in the newspaper busi-
ness would the idea of reducing
the quality of its product be
seen as viable strategy.
All across the country — in
big cities and small towns — the
loss of the daily newspaper, and
the unique role it plays, is lead-
ing to a less-informed citizenry.
No knock on television —
there are some things TV news
does exceptionally well, better
than newspapers — but TV is
ill-equipped to fill the void left
when a daily newspaper closes
shop.
A TV news broadcast devotes
an average of 68 seconds to a
news story, which would be
only a few paragraphs in print.
TV often provides an overview
of a story, but cannot — and
does not — provide the depth
of reporting and context that
newspapers alone provide.
Social media, with its ocean
of pseudo-news outlets, can fill
the gap in some respects, but
the lack of accountability often
leads to poor, even dishonest,
reporting. A reader is as likely
to be misinformed as informed.
And, of course, when it
comes to local news, social
media is essentially composed
of little more than gossip.
Years ago, I remember
remarking to someone that I did
not know a single well-informed
person who did not read a daily
newspaper.
I still believe that is true
today.
There is much speculation
about the future of newspapers
and whether they can long
endure as a commercial enter-
prise.
But if newspapers cease to
exist, something that is happen-
ing right now all over the coun-
try, it is a loss not only for those
who own or invest in news-
papers, but for every citizen
who relies on them to provide
the news they need to make
informed decisions about their
neighborhoods, towns, states,
nation and, yes, the world.
Again at the risk of sounding
self-serving, supporting your
local newspaper through sub-
scriptions and advertising is an
exercise in citizenship.
Thomas Jefferson realized
this long ago, writing:
“The basis of our govern-
ments being the opinion of the
people, the very first object
should be to keep it. Were it
left to me to decide whether we
should have a government with-
out newspapers or newspapers
without a government, I should
not hesitate for a moment to
prefer the latter.”

Will Supreme Court

end gerrymandering?
Or protect it?
When North Carolina’s Republican legislative
leaders have seen their work struck down in
court as unconstitutional — as they have many
times — they have frequently responded by
attacking the judge or judges as partisan hacks.
That approach won’t work if the conserva-
tive-leaning U.S. Supreme Court surprises the
nation by throwing out the congressional district
map that N.C. legislators explicitly drew to elect
as many Republicans as possible.
The court on Friday agreed to hear a chal-
lenge to the North Carolina map, as well as
one to a Maryland congressional district. That
was big news, because while the court has
addressed racial gerrymandering, it has never
ruled on whether partisan gerrymandering can
be unconstitutional. In taking these cases, the
court could for the first time establish whether
crafting districts to help one party over the other
is permissible.
Despite the odds, we and most N.C. voters
hope the court does away with the practice or
severely limits it. North Carolina’s leaders ac-
knowledge that they drew the lines to ensure that
10 Republicans were elected to the state’s 13 con-
gressional seats. Rep. David Lewis said they did
so “because I do not believe it’s possible to draw
a map with 11 Republicans and two Democrats.”
Such an approach is the height of hubris and
an insult to voters, whichever party is in charge.
It essentially robs millions of voters of their
voice, since the outcome is preordained. In a
more narrow legal sense, it also could violate the
First Amendment right to association, as now-re-
tired Justice Anthony Kennedy argued in 2004.
Democracy requires people to join together to
advance their political beliefs. So when a state
makes that nearly impossible, “First Amendment
concerns arise.”
Long ago Senate president pro tem Phil
Berger, a Republican, co-sponsored five bills over
eight years to create independent redistricting
commissions. Now that his party is in the majori-
ty, he sees no need for change.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to be optimistic about
the Supreme Court’s view of the N.C. case
(which is called Rucho vs. Common Cause). The
conservative justices are not inclined to think the
courts should meddle in states’ political affairs.
When the moderate Kennedy was on the court,
there was a chance he could side with the court’s
four liberals. His replacement, Brett Kavanaugh,
has not ruled on partisan gerrymandering cases
before, but there’s little reason to think he would
break with his fellow conservatives in this case.
Given his clear partisan leanings revealed in his
confirmation hearings, it’s almost certain he
won’t.
The court, which will hear arguments in
March and likely rule by June, will decide only
if partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional.
It will not rule on whether it’s a wise practice
that benefits this country. Clearly it’s not and it
doesn’t. North Carolina should follow the lead of
several other states that have created indepen-
dent commissions, with legislative input, to draw
maps.
Only then will political seats be won the
old-fashioned way: By convincing voters you are
the best candidate, on a level playing field.

Trump birth control coverage Pastor shot to death

rules blocked nationwide while unlocking
Rules would allow more employers to opt out of
providing women with no-cost birth control
By MARC LEVY
The Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A federal
judge on Monday put a nationwide
hold on Trump administration rules
that allow more employers to opt
out of providing women with no-
cost birth control.
U.S. District Judge Wendy Bee-
tlestone in Philadelphia agreed
with a lawsuit originally filed by
Pennsylvania, citing the potential
harm to states should the rules be
enforced.
Numerous citizens could lose
contraceptive coverage, Beetle-
stone wrote, resulting in the in-
creased use of state-funded con-
traceptive services, as well as
increased costs to state services
from unintended pregnancies.
The rules, scheduled to take ef-
fect Monday, would change a man-
date under 2010’s Affordable Care
Act by allowing more employers,
including publicly traded compa-
nies, to opt out of providing no-cost
contraceptive coverage to women
by claiming religious objections.
Some private employers could also
now object on moral grounds.
Pennsylvania’s attorney gener-
al, Josh Shapiro, called the court
ruling a “victory for the health and
economic independence of women”
and the rejection of a Trump admin-
istration move to violate a federal
law that requires insurers to cover
the services.
“Congress hasn’t changed that
law, and the president can’t simply
ignore it with an illegal rule,” Sha-
piro said.
New Jersey later joined Pennsyl-
vania in suing.
In issuing the injunction, Bee-
tlestone wrote in her opinion that
the states were likely to win their
lawsuit’s claims that Trump’s ad-
ministration violated procedural
requirements for how regulations
must be created and that the rules
exceed the scope of authority under
the Affordable Care Act.

JACKSON — A pastor in Mississippi’s capital

often see a small but devoted group of parishio-

chores.
“Nobody should go out like that, especially a
pastor in God’s home,” Austin said.
Longino often talked to Austin and his mother,
Lisa Austin, who have lived in the neighborhood
all their lives.
“He was a good man. I would talk to him all the
time and he would ask me to come to the church,”
Lisa Austin said.
Longino’s killing is Jackson’s sixth homicide in
2019. In 2018, the city of 167,000 had its highest
homicide rate in more than 20 years.
Mississippi’s Republican governor, Phil Bry-

Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba held

Fiber up, blood
pressure down
“You are what you eat” is an old
saying originally penned in 1826
by the gastronomic food-wizard
Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in his
essay on the physiology of gout. He
wrote, “Dis-moi ce que tu manges,
je te dirai ce que tu es” [Tell me
what you eat, and I will tell you
what you are]. The same could be
said for the trillions of bacteria in
your guts: You are what they eat.
Researchers have known for a
while that the gut biome needs to
be fed soluble fiber found in grains,
veggies and fruits for heart health.
Now they may know (we’d like to
see two more human studies) that
your biome also needs insoluble
fiber; it adds bulk to the stool
and helps food pass more quickly
through the stomach and intes-
tines, helping to protect your heart
from any effects of high blood
pressure.
The bacteria that gobble up
insoluble fiber produce a fatty acid
called propionate. According to a
study in the journal Circulation,
this (at least in mice) reduces car-
dio problems associated with high
blood pressure such as abnormal
enlargement of the heart, an irreg-
ular heartbeat and atherosclerosis.
Insoluble fiber comes from eat-
ing foods such as beans, 100 per-
cent whole wheat or bran products,
green beans, potatoes, cauliflower
and nuts. So, if you have high blood
pressure (75 million Americans
do) feed the little guys insoluble
fiber — and you may get unbeliev-
ably big rewards. Not only may
insoluble fiber protect your cardio
system, it’s part of a brain-boosting
diet as well!

Exercise your brain power
“You can’t separate the mind
and body,” Jack LaLanne once told
USA Today. The Godfather of Mod-
ern Fitness, he lived to be 96 and
learned early in life that exercise
(combined with proper nutrition)
could give your body and mind a
significantly younger RealAge. In
his heyday, critics called LaLanne a
nut and a charlatan, but it turns out
he was right.
A study in the journal Neurology
reveals that sedentary folks 55 and
older with cognitive impairment
(difficulty concentrating, making
decisions or remembering) can
turn back the clock nine years in
just six months by doing aerobic
exercise (walking, cycling) for 35
Drs. Oz and Roizen
minutes three times a week! Execu-
tive functioning — neurologically
based skills involving mental con-
trol and self-regulation — was what
showed notable improvement. The
very best cognitive improvements
came to participants who followed
that exercise routine and the DASH
(Dietary Approaches to Stop Hy-
pertension) diet — a low-sodium,
high-fiber nutritional plan with lots
of fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts,
low-fat dairy, 100 percent whole
grains and lean proteins.
While this wasn’t a big/major
study, it echoes the findings of
another study out of the University
of Texas Southwestern Medical
Center that suggested physical
fitness is associated with stronger
neuron fibers and better executive
function in folks with mild cogni-
tive impairment. Other research
also has found that aerobic exercise
increases the volume of the hippo-
campus, the brain region responsi-
ble for memory.

Safer teen drivers
In the 1950 driver’s education
film, “Last Date,” actor Dick York
plays Nick, a bad boy who drives
recklessly. A peer warns Nick that
he’s destined to commit “teeni-
cide,” defined in the film as “the
fine art of killing yourself, and may-
be someone else, with an automo-
bile before you reach the age of 20.”
Predictably, a subsequent joyride
ends with Nick dead and his date
Jeanne disfigured for life.
Nearly 70 years later, teens are
going on fewer formal dates, but ve-
hicular accidents are still a leading
cause of death, according to study
published in the New England Jour-
nal of Medicine. In 2016, more than
4,000 U.S. children and adolescents
were killed in car crashes — al-
most 11 a day. And teen drivers are
nearly three times more likely than
older drivers to be in a fatal crash.
That doesn’t mean teens
shouldn’t drive, but they need the
see push-pull on
tools to do so safely. Research
shows that when parents and teens

this milestone,” CVB
board president DeWitt
Hicks said after the vote.
“We passed (the inter-
local agreement). So it
should be smooth sailing
from here on out.”
Voting on the agree-
ment took place with-
out discussion from the
board. Lowndes County
Board of Supervisors
President Harry Sanders
and Columbus Mayor
Robert Smith were pres-
ent for the meeting, but
did not speak.
The previous coun-
ty-wide restaurant tax
expired in June 2018 after
the Legislature did not re-
new it due to an argument
over whether to expand
the number of restaurants
required to collect it. In
Fiscal Year 2017, it raised
almost $2 million, which
was split between the
CVB for tourism develop-
ment and the Golden Tri-
angle Development LINK
for economic develop-
ment. The nearly $1.7 mil-
lion CVB received made
up more than 90 percent
of its budget, and the or-
ganization was forced to
slash expenses and down-
size staff after the tax ex-
pired.
This iteration of the
tax, which is now before
the Legislature and is
expected to be approved,
would be citywide and
would provide $700,000
directly to city and coun-
ty recreation, as well as
$250,000 to The LINK
and the remainder to
CVB.
CVB Executive Direc-
tor Nancy Carpenter said
the organization will op-
erate with $775,000 this
year, if the legislation is
renewed. That is about
the amount CVB operated
with 15 years ago, Hicks
said.
“We’ll just have to be
smart and frugal. But

Syracuse
stuns Duke
in overtime
By JOEDY McCREARY
The Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — Syracuse
packed its patented 2-3 zone de-
fense around Zion Williamson, and
dared a depleted Duke team to win
from the 3-point line.
Without shooter Cameron Red-
dish, the top-ranked Blue Devils
couldn’t do it. And without point
guard Tre Jones, their defense
couldn’t pressure the Orange, ei-
ther.
Tyus Battle scored a season-high
32 points, and Syracuse rattled
Duke in overtime in a 95-91 upset
on Monday night— the Blue Devils’
first home loss as a No. 1 team to
an opponent other than North Car-
olina.
With Reddish out with flu-like
symptoms and Jones suffering a
right shoulder injury roughly 5½
minutes in — which coach Mike
Krzyzewski said will keep him “out
for a while” — the Blue Devils were
down two starters and became a
completely different team.
The Orange took full advantage,
forcing the Blue Devils to attempt
a school-record 43 3-pointers. They
made only nine for a percentage of
20.9.
And RJ Barrett finished with
23 points, but was 4 of 17 from
3-point range — the second-most
3s ever taken by a Duke player and
the most since Bobby Hurley’s 18
against California in 1993.

We had 13 turnovers at halftime
and we had half of that in the

much better care of the ball.”
Jessika Carter had 14 points

Lamar Peters said. “We’re a

Getting the buy-in may have
been more difficult than usual
Friday night. Madison Central

championship. The Jaguars
won 6-0 on Dec. 7 in Madison.
“After we fell down 2-0 in

“Like coach said, we just

point guard Jazzmun Holmes
said. “It was just attacking.”
McCowan triggered the run
with an offensive rebound put-

five assists) and Anriel Howard
(seven points, eight rebounds,

Starkville has struggled to
gain a foothold in the Class 6A

pipe dream, at best.
That finally changed when

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South
Carolina coach Frank Martin kept
saying as the awful losses piled up
that his young team needed time to
develop.
The Gamecocks are playing like
that time has arrived.
South Carolina (8-7), which lost
to mid-majors in Stony Brook and
Wofford in November, is arguably
the biggest early season surprise in
the Southeastern Conference. The
Gamecocks are tied atop the league
standings at 3-0 with No. 3 Tennes-

South Carolina rallied late at
Florida, then knocked off No. 24
Mississippi State in overtime. The
Gamecocks kept things going Sun-

ri that moved them to 3-0 in the

league seasons.
“We want to keep fighting,”

There didn’t seem to be a lot

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: No. 7 Mississippi State 85, Auburn 59

McCowan helps Bulldogs dominate down low

By Adam Minichino
aminichino@cdispatch.com
AUBURN, Ala. — Teaira Mc-
Cowan said she didn’t feel any dif-
ferent Monday night.
Statistically, there really wasn’t
much difference in the senior’s pro-
duction because she finished with
another double-double.
Still, there was no denying Mc-
Cowan appeared more comfortable
and aggressive and, as a result, was
more efficient. McCowan was 9-for-
10 from the field en route to a game-
high 22-point effort Monday night
in the No. 7 Mississippi State wom-
en’s basketball team’s 85-59 victory
against Auburn before a crowd of
1,908 at Auburn Arena.
“I just know I had to focus on
making the stick backs or making
the basket when my teammates
were giving me the ball,” said Mc-
Cowan, who was coming off a 7-for-
16 shooting effort from the field in
MSU’s 80-71 victory against Geor-
gia on Sunday. The 6-foot-7 center
capitalized on her size advantage
and the foul trouble of Auburn post
player Unique Thompson to snare
10 rebounds (four offensive) and
to help MSU win the rebounding
battle 43-24. The Bulldogs also had
a 44-20 edge in points in the paint.
The 44 points was the most the Ti-
gers have allowed in that specialty
category this season. Auburn en-
tered the game having won that stat
in 14 games.
The double-double was McCow-
an’s 14th of the season and 53rd of
her career.
Bench provides production
One game after four bench play-
ers logged only 16 minutes and
scored one point, the Bulldogs’ re-
serves played a much bigger role.
Freshman center Jessika Carter
led the way 14 points (4-for-4 from
the field, 6-for-6 from the free-
throw line) and six rebounds in 17
minutes.
Andra Espinoza-Hunter played
14 minutes and had seven points.
Myah Taylor, Xaria Wiggins, Nyah
Tate, and Bre’Amber Scott also con-
tributed to MSU’s 58 minutes off
the bench. The Bulldogs won the
battle of the bench points 27-19.
“I am really proud of our bench,”
MSU coach Vic Schaefer said. “I
thought our bench played well to-
night. I thought they played some
really meaningful minutes, and
we’re going to need that.”
Espinoza-Hunter said bench play
like the reserves delivered Monday
night can give Schaefer confidence
to know he can rest the starters and
not have things break down. She
feels all of the bench players are
gaining confidence and growing
more comfortable in their roles.
Impressing in other ways
Schaefer said recently that
bench players don’t need to impress
him by scoring. The veteran coach
would just as soon see one of his
reserves take a charge or assist a
teammate by playing help-side de-
fense.
Espinoza-Hunter and Scott were
part of a sequence that demonstrat-
ed the Bulldogs’ bench players
understand what Schaefer wants.
Espinoza-Hunter started the se-
quence by missing a 3-pointer from
the right wing. Anriel Howard at-
tempted to grab the rebound and
put up a shot but couldn’t convert.
Scott rebounded Howard’s shot and
missed. The loose ball deflected to
the left to the other side of the court,
where Espinoza-Hunter tracked it
down. The hustle paid off as Carter
ended the sequence with a layup off
an assist from Jazzmun Holmes.
“I think that’s a perfect example
of just finishing the play,” Espino-
za-Hunter said. “I know there are
times in practice when we don’t re-
ally do that, and that probably was a
great example of finishing the play
out.”
Espinoza-Hunter has logged sev-
en minutes in the last two games
after not playing against Kentucky.
She played five minutes in the loss
to Oregon and then played 21, 18,
and 12 minutes in the next three
games. She said she continues to
work on her shooting before or af-
ter practice so she will be ready to
do whatever Schaefer needs.
Notes
MSU, which entered the game
leading the SEC in field goal per-
centage (50.4), shot 52.7 percent
(29-for-55) in the win. It was the
second-highest percentage against
Auburn this season. Tennessee shot
54 percent from the field in a 78-69
victory against Auburn on Jan. 3. …
Auburn recorded 15 steals for its
13th game with 10 or more. The Ti-
gers also forced their 14th opponent
into 20 or more turnovers. Auburn
has forced 20 or more turnovers the
last nine games. The 20 points the
Tigers scored off turnovers by the
Bulldogs tied for the third-lowest
total this season. … MSU redshirt
junior center Zion Campbell had
her right foot in a walking boot.
… Thompson entered the game
as Auburn’s second-leading scor-
er (13.2 points per game). She had
only two points and didn’t attempt a
shot from the field. She was saddled
with foul trouble most of the night
and finished with four. … McCowan
was 4-for-4 from the free-throw line
to break a tie with Sophie Ratliff for
10th on the program’s all-time list
for free throws made. McCowan
now has 294.

Conversely, MSU at-
tacked Auburn’s pressure
better in the second half.
Schaefer said he pointed
out at halftime that the
Tigers had a 30-22 edge
in shots from the field. He
said he was pleased to see
the Bulldogs force the is-
sue and pull away.

backline and we are set in goal. So once
we can get some momentum going in a
match, we play well. You could tell we
got Madison Central frustrated. They
were bickering. They were having a
hard time getting quality shots on goal.”
The Starkville squad is a mix of veter-
ans and talented newcomers. The Yel-
low Jackets have six seniors. However,
sophomore Lawson Dale leads the team
with 19 goals scored, while eighth grad-
er Ethan Pulliam is next with five goals.
While he does not normally figure
into the offensive attack, Coward was
proud of Brasher’s goal.
“(Brasher) never stops running,”
Coward said. “He goes everything, go-
ing 110 percent. Sometimes, he goes
too hard and his teammates complain.
However, that is just the type of kid he
is. He goes hard after every challenge.
Overall, we aren’t a big team, not tall at
all. But we are super aggressive and we
have good leadership. This team always
shows a lot of heart.”
Starkville’s other loss was a 4-1 set-
back to No. 2 Tupelo on Dec. 18.
With both matches against Madison
Central now in the books, the region
schedule wraps up with a match apiece
against Murrah and Northwest Rankin
each of the next two weeks.
A victory over Madison Central gives
the team a huge leg up in trying to make
the playoffs. Two of the region’s four
teams will qualify.
“Northwest Rankin may have taken a
step back this year,” Coward said. “They
still have an excellent team, but we
should be able to line up and compete.
After beating Madison Central, the kids
are hungry. They know we can do what
we need to do the rest of the way to get
in.”

A week ago, the Bull-
dogs were riding high as
conference play began
with a nine-game overall
win streak.
Those good times are
a distant memory after
an 87-82 overtime loss at
South Carolina and an 81-
77 home loss to Ole Miss.
Still fighting to make
the NCAA tournament for
the first time this decade,
the Bulldogs are reeling
after losing twice against
underdog opponents.
“We’re just moving on
to the next game,” MSU
senior guard Quinndary
Weatherspoon said. “We
have 16 more (league
games) so — just have to
bounce back and we’re
get our confidence back
and get our first win in
the SEC.”
MSU (12-3, 0-2) will be
trying to reverse this sea-
son’s fortunes, as well as
recent misfortune in this
series.
Florida (9-6, 1-2) has
won eight straight meet-
ings in the series. The
Gators have lost twice at
home — to South Caroli-
na (71-69) and Tennessee
(78-67). The lone confer-
ence win was at Arkansas
(57-51).
“They’re really good
defensively,” Howland
said. They’re a team, in
terms of defensive effi-
ciency, is in the top 10 in
a lot of different areas.
They’ll show a 1-2-2 press
every time they score and
go back to their man-to-
man matching up with
anybody. They’re not
matching up with a spe-
cific position. They’re
matching up with the
players in their own area.
They do some different
things that you don’t see
a lot from other teams,
which you are pointing
out.”

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
My husband
and I have
been married
more than 20
years. Once in a
while, he’ll stop
being affection-
ate and ceases
talking to me.
Obviously, he is
upset. He holds
ZITS it together for our
children, but I get
the serious cold
shoulder.
He won’t
tell me why he
Dear Abby
is unhappy. He
simply expects me to give him
“space.” This is difficult be-
cause I assume it’s something
I have done, and I want to make
it right. After several days, he’ll no, believe him and give him his
start coming around and talking
to me again, and he expects
me to jump right back into our
GARFIELD usual behavior. But by this time
I feel abandoned and resentful.
It generally takes me
some time to warm back up to
him, which doesn’t make him
very happy since he doesn’t
see anything wrong with his
needing space. I realize that’s
true, but should I be expected
to put aside my hurt feelings
overnight? How can I deal with
these difficult days so I won’t
feel so alone and get upset
with him? And what should I do

TIED IN KNOTS IN
TEXAS
DEAR TIED IN
KNOTS: You’re in
a long marriage.
Has your husband
always behaved
this way? Talk to
him about it at a
time when he’s
himself and not in
one of his silent
phases.
As you should
be aware by
now, not all men
are good at expressing their
feelings. Rather than become
upset with him, ASK if he is
upset with you. If the answer is
space. It would be considerate
(and mature) of him, however,
to warn you when he’s upset
about something that has
nothing to do with you, without
prompting.
DEAR ABBY: Is there an
organization that matches
seniors who would love to be
grandmothers with families that
need grandparents for their
child/children?
I’m a 70-year-old recent wid-
ow who has no grandchildren to
love, take places, play games
with or just be with. I would
think in every city there are
even your clone.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Something in your environment
is changing in a way you can
neither ignore nor stop. The ego
wants to fight this. That’s natu-
ral. But acceptance is going to
happen sooner or later. Sooner
would keep you from wasting
your effort.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
The simple logic suggests that
if you can solve a problem,
there’s no need to worry; if
you can’t, same. But worry still
serves a purpose. Wasn’t it the
first indicator that you had a
problem? Thank your worries.
They’re only trying to help.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’re very generous when
you want to be. And when you
don’t want to be, there’s a good

be a win-win for both the child
and the senior. It could also be
a blessing for a single mother
or father to have someone to
help out with emergency child
care or just have some extra
“family” in their hometown. —
UNFULFILLED GRANDMA IN
MINNESOTA
DEAR UNFULFILLED: Unless
the parents get to know you
well, it isn’t likely they would en-
trust their children to your care.
However, this doesn’t mean
you cannot volunteer your time
to help children in need. One
organization is Big Brothers
Big Sisters of America (bbbs.
org), which offers opportunities
to mentor. Another that might
appeal to you is Foster Grand-
parents, which is sponsored
by the Corporation for National
and Community Service.
You could also call the
hospitals in your area and ask
if they need someone to come
in on a regular basis to hold
and rock premature infants
and newborns. If you contact
CASA for Children (casaforchil-
dren.org), you could become a
court-appointed advocate for
abused and neglected children
and teens, which may provide
the emotional satisfaction you
need and fill the void you are
feeling.
reason, though perhaps it’s an
unconscious one. If you dare to
investigate it, you’ll learn some-
thing new about yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Remember when you went to
a function and got cornered
into listening to an unsolicited
advice monologue that there
was seemingly no end to or exit
from? You learned from that so
today you’ll know what to avoid.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
When you share with someone
you love, it doesn’t feel like giv-
ing. It’s natural and effortless.
The energy comes back to you
and you seem to have more
than you started with.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
As you’re not a cynical person,
sometimes you don’t think to
stop and ask, “What is this
person getting out of the situa-
tion?” But that’s something to
inquire about today. And, actu-
ally, it’s not a cynical question,
just a realistic one.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Are you excelling because
you’re working hard or are you
working hard because you’re
excelling? The point is that it’s
really coming together, so enjoy
this exhilarating part of the ride.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You have ideals, and you
really might embody them at
some point, but you don’t have
to in order to be worthy of love
and acceptance. Use them like
the ship captain uses the stars
— as guides to orient the map.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Having someone you can
rely on is a pretty big deal right
now. Just knowing that there’s
someone who’s invested in
your success and well-being will
reduce your overall stress and
anxiety.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). One game strategy is to
pick an arena that doesn’t have
too much in the way of compe-
tition to increase your odds of
winning. It’s a good way to gain
experience and competence
until you’re ready to go to the
next level.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Rejoice in the discovery
of your own mistakes. It’s what
scientists and scholars do; it’s
what lifelong learners and those
committed to excellence do. It’s
the secret to growing quickly.
