developing plan to keep

despite lost funding

Mississippi State Uni-
versity is reviewing the
financial status of the
T.K. Martin Center for
Technology and Disabil-
ity after a loss of grant
funding has put its future
in question.
Keenum
MSU President Mark
Keenum issued a statement about the
center, which serves special needs
individuals through a variety of pro-
grams, Tuesday evening after specula-
tion that the university was closing it
spread rampantly on social media.
Several posts on Facebook claimed
that MSU’s College of Education was
cutting funding to the T.K. Martin
Center, and that without that money
the center would be forced to close.
Keenum insisted MSU is not closing
the T.K. Martin Center.
The T.K. Martin Center for Technology and Disability at 326 Hardy Road on the
Mississippi State University campus receives the bulk of its funding from grants
and donations. With grant funding cut, the university is forming a plan to keep the
center operational.
“The university has no plans to
close the center,” Keenum said. “I have
visited the center many times and have
seen firsthand what an impact these
programs have in helping improve the
lives of individuals with disabilities.”
In his statement, Keenum said the
T.K. Martin Center and its staff have
provided “valuable services” to MSU

and the community through its histo-
ry. He said he’s met with Provost and
Executive Vice President Judy Bonner
regarding the center’s financial situa-
tion, and the university is working to
develop a plan to handle the center’s
fiscal issues and ensure it remains op-
erational.

Starkville will
hold two special
elections on May 30
to determine if the
city will implement a
1-percent increase to
its tourism sales tax
and to fill the now-va-
cant Ward 5 alder- Miller
man seat.
The city must replace Ward 5
Alderman Patrick Miller, who re-
signed from his seat on the board
Monday to take a job in Biloxi.
Qualifications for the election,
through the city clerk’s office, are
open today through May 8. Can-
didates must register as indepen-
dents for the election.
While that special election will
only be open to voters in Ward 5, the
1-percent tax referendum will be a
citywide vote. Starkville is looking
to add to its 2-percent restaurant
and hotel/motel sales tax to build a
new tournament-ready baseball and
recreation facility at Cornerstone
Park on Highway 25. The 1-percent
tax funding would also be used for
improvements at Starkville’s exist-
ing parks.
Sixty percent of voters must ap-
prove the tax for it to take effect.
Registration for the election is
open through 5 p.m. on April 30
and absentee ballots will be avail-
able beginning on May 10.
Ward 1 Alderman Ben Carver
said he supports the tax. Though
he’s typically more conserva-
tive-minded, he said, the tax will
be shared not only among citizens,
but visitors, and represents what
he thinks is the best chance to im-
prove Starkville’s parks.
“It’s not just 23,000 or 24,000
people that are going to be paying
this,” Carver said. “It’s anyone that
comes to this town and has a meal.
Any Super Bulldog Weekend-type
event at Mississippi State, any ath-
letic function. From a tax-sharing
standpoint, it’s one of those that
we’ll utilize for anyone that comes
to this town.”
Ward 2 Alderman Sandra
Sistrunk said she wanted voters to
keep in mind that the tax is not only

Columbine threat by woman with
gun shuts Denver-area schools
FBI: Florida woman ‘infatuated’ with
1999 Colorado mass school shooting
By KATHLEEN FOODY
and COLLEEN SLEVIN
The Associated Press
LITTLETON, Colo. —
Denver-area public schools
will be closed Wednesday
as authorities search for a
young Florida woman who
flew to the city and bought
a gun after becoming “infat-
uated” with the mass shoot-
ing at Columbine High
School.
The FBI said Sol Pais,
18, is “considered to be
extremely dangerous” and
“made threats to commit an
act of violence in the Den-
ver metropolitan area” just
days before the 20th anni-
versary of the attack that
killed 13 people.
All schools in the Denver
area were urged to tighten
security because the threat
was deemed “credible
and general,” said Patricia
Billinger, a spokeswom-
an for the Colorado De-
partment of Public Safety.
Columbine and more than
20 other schools outside
Denver lock their doors for
nearly three hours Tuesday
afternoon before Wednes-
day’s complete closures
were announced.
The Jefferson County
Sheriff’s Office and the
FBI say Pais traveled to
Colorado from Miami on

said that all facilities and

Wednesday, and there will
be no afternoon activities
or athletic competitions.
The district said the deci-
sion to close campuses was
in collaboration with other
Denver metro-area school
districts due to the ongoing
safety concern.
On Tuesday, some
schools released their stu-
dents after additional secu-
rity was called in and can-

Notre Dame’s age, design
fueled fire and foiled firefighters
‘Very often when
you’re confronted with
something like this,
there’s not much
you can do’
Glenn Corbett, a professor of fire
science at John Jay College
By MICHAEL R. SISAK
and SETH BORENSTEIN
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Is there any-
thing firefighters could have
done to control the blaze that
tore through Paris’ historic Notre
Dame Cathedral sooner?
Experts say the combination of
a structure that’s more than 850
years old, built with heavy timber
construction and soaring open
spaces, and lacking sophisticat-
ed fire-protection systems led to
the quick rise of flames Monday,
which jeopardized the entire ca-
thedral before firefighters brought
the blaze under control.
“Very often when you’re con-
fronted with something like this,
there’s not much you can do,” said
Glenn Corbett, a professor of fire
science at John Jay College.
Firehoses looked overmatched
as flames raged across the cathe-
dral’s wooden roof and burned
bright orange for hours. The
fire toppled a 300-foot spire and
launched baseball-sized embers
into the air.
While the cause remains under
investigation, authorities said that
the cathedral’s structure — includ-
ing its landmark rectangular tow-
ers — has been saved.
Some of the factors that made
Notre Dame a must-see for visitors
to Paris — its age, sweeping size

$1B raised to rebuild Paris’ Notre Dame
The Associated Press
PARIS — Nearly $1 billion has already poured in from ordinary wor-
shippers and high-powered magnates around the world to restore the
fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, after the French president
set a controversial five-year deadline to get the work done.
Construction teams brought in a huge crane and a delivery of planks
of wood to the site Wednesday morning. Firefighters are still examin-
ing damage and shoring up the structure after Monday’s fire collapsed
the cathedral’s spire and destroyed the roof.
French President Emmanuel Macron ratcheted up the pressure by
setting a five-year deadline to restore the 12th-century landmark. Ma-
cron is holding a special Cabinet meeting Wednesday dedicated to the
Notre Dame disaster, which investigators believe was an accident pos-
sibly linked to renovation work.
Bells will toll at cathedrals around France on Wednesday evening
in honor of the monument. Remarkably, no one was killed in the fire,
after firefighters and church officials speedily evacuated the site during
a mass.
Presidential cultural heritage envoy Stephane Bern told broadcaster
France-Info on Wednesday that 880 million euros ($995 million) has
been raised in just a day and a half since the fire. Contributions came
from near and far, rich and poor — from Apple and magnates who own
L’Oreal, Chanel and Dior, to Catholic parishioners and others from
small towns and cities around France and the world.

Mississippi governor signs Mississippi tornado

$1,500 pay raise for teachers
MDE: Before the raises, teachers in the state
received an average of $44,659, which is less than
the Southeastern average of about $51,000
By EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi Repub-
lican Gov. Phil Bryant signed a bill
Tuesday to give teachers and as-
sistant teachers a $1,500 pay raise
during the year that begins July 1.
Bryant’s Twitter account posted
a photo of him signing Senate Bill
2770 nearly three weeks after legis-
lators agreed on the plan.
“Good teachers can change the
trajectory of a student’s life forev-
er,” the governor’s account tweeted.
The Mississippi Department of
Education says that before the rais-
es, teachers in the state received
an average of $44,659, which is less
than the Southeastern average of
about $51,000.
The minimum salary for assis-
tant teachers has long been frozen
at $12,500. That will increase to
$14,000.
The Mississippi Department of
Education says there are 31,000
classroom teachers and 3,500 assis-
tants statewide.
Joshua Whiteside, 21, will grad-
uate from Alcorn State University
next month. He said he is looking
for a job as a physical education
teacher in either northern Missis-
sippi or in his hometown of Mem-
phis, Tennessee. He said he be-
lieves he could earn a higher salary
in Tennessee.
“Mississippi teachers get paid
too little,” Whiteside told The Asso-
ciated Press as he attended a recent
educators’ conference.
Joyce Helmick, president of the
7,000-member Mississippi Associa-
tion of Educators, said this month
that she has heard from teachers
who are angry that the pay raise
was not higher than $1,500.
Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves,
who is campaigning to try to suc-
ceed the term-limited Bryant, has
pointed to the teacher pay raise as
a top accomplishment of the legis-
lative session that ran from early
January until late March.
However, both of the candidates
facing Reeves in the Republican
gubernatorial primary in August,
former Mississippi Supreme Court
Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. and
state Rep. Robert Foster, have crit-
icized the pay raise as too meager.

public outcry and even
compelled Mayor Robert
Smith to pen a letter to
Fred’s corporate office
pleading for the two loca-
tions to remain open.
Closing the downtown
location will be a par-
ticularly rough blow to
residents like Lashundra
Sherrod, who said she
shops there to save mon-
ey.
“They got most every-
thing you need and it’s
cheaper than the other
stores,” Sherrod said.
“We are going to miss this
store because it’s cheap.
I’ve been in Columbus for
six years. I’ve been com-
ing since I’ve been over
here. ... This was a store
that you could find stuff
that you can’t find any-
where else.”
Grassroots resistance
Some residents, like
Frances Glenn, have tak-
en it upon themselves to
fight back, calling the cor-
porate office and urging
others to do the same.
Still, she’s not optimis-
tic the effort will change
the outcome.
“I’ve called. I’ve given
out the phone number,”
Glenn said. “It looks like
this time the decision has
been made.”
When Glenn was
young, she would walk
with her great-grand-
mother to Fred’s and get
“a treat.” Now, she lives
in her late great-grand-
mother’s house and has
gifted her five sons with
the same reward she re-
members getting as a
child.
“They are all grown
now, but they all grew up
going to Fred’s,” Glenn
said. “That was kind of
a privilege to walk to
Fred’s. I used to tell them,
‘If it’s not at Fred’s, you’re
not getting it. If you can’t
find it at Fred’s, you don’t
need it.’
“We go to Fred’s every
day, and I am not kidding,”
she added. “Between my
husband and I, we go ev-
ery day.”
For Glenn, shopping
each day at the neighbor-
hood store is convenient.
She said she will likely
miss walking three blocks
to pick up last minute
poster board for her son’s
school projects and choc-
olate chips. More than
that, Glenn said, she will
miss the friendships of
Fred’s employees, namely
long-term manager Bev-
erly Blakeney.
“Of course I have self-
ish reasons, but I thought
of our friends that work
there,” Glenn said. “(Bev-
erly) will tell us about
an upcoming sale. She
knows our kids, all our
boys. One time, when Ms.
Beverly had to work, it
must have been a holiday
when a lot of places were
closed, we took her lunch.
That, to me, is what’s go-
ing to be so sad, not hav-
ing that friendship. For
us, it’s convenient, but for

them it’s their livelihood.”
Until the Fred’s stores
shutter, Glenn said, she’ll
stay positive.
“Until the doors close,
I always think there’s
hope we might can save
it,” she said. “I don’t know
where we are going to go.
I guess I will have to do a
better job on the grocery
list. I haven’t thought
about life without Fred’s.”
Mayor’s letter
Smith mailed a letter
to the corporate office on
Monday.
He detailed the impor-
tance of the downtown
store which serves uni-
versity students, down-
town apartments and a
number of nearby homes.
He added the east

abama Street, serves

The city’s public infor-
mation officer, Joe Dil-
lon, said the city has not
heard back from Fred’s
but remains hopeful.
“I believe we can en-
courage residents that
shopping locally does
make a difference and
our residents can show
their support by purchas-
ing local rather than from
the internet,” Smith’s let-
ter states.
Fred’s employees were
instructed not to speak
with media and the corpo-
rate office did not return
phone calls from The Dis-

abortion bill wins final passage
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. —
North Carolina’s legisla-
ture gave final passage
Tuesday to a bill to re-
quire doctors and nurses
to care for babies born
alive during a failed late-
term abortion or face big
penalties, a measure op-
ponents deemed legally
unnecessary and a threat
to abortion providers.

But the nature of pri-

as patients branch off to
drugstore clinics and ur-
gent care centers. Prac-
tices are slowly shifting
to more of a team-based
approach that focuses on
keeping patients healthy
and reserves visits with a
doctor for the more seri-
ous cases.
“The idea that the pri-
mary care physician is the
one-size-fits-all solution
... that’s going to change
pretty dramatically,” said
Sam Glick, an executive
with the research firm Oli-
ver Wyman.
This evolution began
years ago when drug-
stores started providing
fines for medical prac-
titioners who don’t give
children born despite
a botched abortion the
same protections as any
other newborn.
A spokesman for Dem-
ocratic Gov. Roy Cooper
criticized the measure
later Tuesday, raising ex-
pectations the governor
would veto the legislation.
“This unnecessary leg-
islation would criminalize
doctors for a practice that
simply does not exist,”
Ford Porter wrote in an

Third casino in Mississippi’s

Tunica County to close
Employment at Tunica County casinos peaked at 13,000
jobs in 2001, falling to less than 5,000 now
The Associated Press
ROBINSONVILLE — A casino compa-
ny announced Tuesday that it’s closing a
gambling hall in Mississippi’s Tunica Coun-
ty, the third casino to close in the area since
2014 in the face of increasing competition
and declining revenues.
Penn National Gaming announced that
it would close the Resorts Casino Tunica on
June 30, leaving six casinos in a county that
boomed on gambling revenue in the 1990s.
The company, based in Wyomissing,
Pennsylvania, said that it has nearly 200
employees at Resorts and will try to place
them at one of Penn National’s other two
casinos in Tunica County. The company
bought Resorts and what is now 1st Jack-
pot in March 2017, paying $44 million for
two distressed casinos that had been taken
over by their lenders. The company also op-
erates Hollywood Casino Tunica, which is
next door to Resorts.
Penn National leases the properties
from Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc.
Tunica County boomed when gam-
bling was legalized in 1992, becoming the
only gambling destination for hundreds of
miles. But employment at casinos peaked
at 13,000 jobs in 2001, falling to less than
5,000 now, and revenues have been falling
since 2006.

State of the nation

Intolerance has no greater champion than Trump
And what will
you say afterward,
America?
That is not to
encourage or even
predict that there
will be an “after-
ward” — that is,
that someone will

silence Minnesota
Rep. Ilhan Omar,
one of the first two Leonard Pitts
Muslim women in
Congress. But it is to say the
possibility is real. Especially
given that Donald Trump is
leading a lynch mob against
her.
This comes after Jeanine
Pirro of Fox “News” ques-
tioned whether Omar’s faith
— she wears what Pirro called
a “he-jab” — was incompatible
with being an American. And
after an altercation in the West she said and how she said it.
Virginia capital over a poster
linking Omar to the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11. And after
a Trump supporter
was arrested for al-
legedly threatening
to “put a bullet in
her f------ skull.”
Now here comes
Trump, not to tamp
down extremism,
but to fire up the
mob. His pretext:
four words. They
came last month
in a speech Omar
gave to a gathering
of the Council on American-Is-
lamic Relations. CAIR was, she
said, founded “because they
recognized that some people
did something and that all of
us were starting to lose access
to our civil liberties.”
“Some people did some-
thing.” That’s how Omar de-
scribed the 9/11 attacks. To be
sure, it’s fair to question what
Besides being factually in-
accurate — CAIR was founded
in 1994 — it was an arguably
inartful way of describing an
attack that left 3,000 people
dead. It was also, arguably,
an effective way of drawing a
distinction between the great,
peaceful mass of Islam and
the small band of moral freaks
who hijacked airplanes that
crystalline Tuesday morning.
But for all that Omar’s
words were, arguably, they
have been one thing, indisput-
ably: a weapon in the hands of
intolerance. And intolerance
has no greater champion than
Trump.
So it was unsurprising to
see him go on Twitter to ramp
up the mob, posting a video
that juxtaposed Omar’s words
with news footage of that
dreadful morning. “WE WILL
NEVER FORGET,” he tweet-
ed. This was on Friday. Two
days later, Omar was reporting
a spike in death threats and
security people were imposing
new measures to protect her.
A brown-skinned Muslim
from Somalia, it seems, is
forever on probation, her love
of country always suspect.
Yet a pale-skinned putative
Christian from Queens has no
need to prove his patriotism,
even after he observes — on
Sept. 11 itself, yet — that
the fall of the Twin Towers
means he now owns the tallest
building in Lower Manhat-
tan. Indeed, he can even go
on to be president. And isn’t
it telling that a country that
supposedly holds that tragedy
sacred forces that day’s first
responders to periodically beg
a resistant Congress for money
to cover the cancers and other
disorders their heroism has
left them with.
But it’s Ilhan Omar who is
the outrage, right? Not our
gross neglect of 9/11’s heroes,
not these naked appeals to
bigotry, not the putrescent
soul of a man who would put
someone else’s life in danger
for political gain. None of that.
Just her.
So what will you say,
America, in the awful event of
afterward? Likely, you’ll say
what you always say. “This is
not who we are. We’re better
than this.” It’s a fable we keep
telling ourselves.
As practiced as we have be-
come in seeing the betrayal of
our highest ideals, we are still
unable to face the contradic-
tion, the lie, that keeps betray-
ing them. So if this unhinged
hatred leads where unhinged
hatred so often does, maybe
the best thing we can do for
ourselves, the best gift we can
leave to posterity, is to at last
admit the truth.
“Better than this?” No.
Granted, we had a chance to
be.
But we chose otherwise.

He said those grants

The center also re-

Diamond Dawgs outlast Texas Southern for victory

BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
It took longer than expected
— eight innings to be exact.
Tied 1-1 with Texas South-
ern entering the bottom of the
eighth inning, the No. 3-ranked
Mississippi State baseball team
needed reprieve.
Sophomore infielder Justin
Foscue obliged.
Sitting on a junky 3-1 chan-
geup, Foscue chopped the ball
high and over the approaching
Tiger infield.
As the ball skied over Texas
Southern third baseman Park-
er DeLeon, MSU sophomore
Tanner Allen headed home for
the go-ahead run.
“I was trying to shorten
up just a little bit, try to drive
something,” Foscue said. “I
guess that changeup sunk a lit-
tle bit and I got on top of it and
just hit the turf and got over the
third baseman.”
A squeeze bunt down the
first base line by sophomore
outfielder Rowdey Jordan add-
ed another score to make it 3-1.
Two batters later junior
catcher Justin Skelton blew
the game open with a two-run
home run to left center, giving
MSU a 5-1 lead.
“We had hits in the first cou-
ple innings. We just couldn’t

WEST POINT – Mississippi State
junior golfer Garrett Johnson shined
bright with another top-5 finish Tues-
day in the Old Waverly Collegiate
Championship.
Johnson finished in a tie for third
place in the two-day event held at Old
Waverly Golf Club, leading the Bulldogs
to a fifth-place finish.
Johnson shot three consecutive
rounds of 3-under 69. His 9-under 207
tied a career-best tournament total. He
tied for fifth place in the same event one
year ago.
“This week, my driver was the key
for me,” Johnson said. “The past few
weeks, I’ve been struggling being able
to hit the fairway, and normally that’s
what I do really well. From there, I was
able to put my ball in position where I
can succeed out here. I have to stay pa-
tient, that’s my game. If I try and force
things, that’s when I start getting into
trouble.”
Johnson’s 69, combined with ju-
nior Peng Pichaikool’s 68 in the final
round, helped State card a field-best
5-under-par score. State finished with

The senior is an inte-

McCool played her

The slugger then returned

Pickens Academy head

MSU sophomore Aubree Jones leads Bulldogs to SEC
By BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
Mississippi State sophomore
golfer Aubree Jones has re-
learned how to think.
A Freshman SEC Academ-
ic Honor Roll honoree in 2018,
Jones paced the Bulldogs this
season with a team-leading 73.07
scoring average through six
events and will anchor the con-
tingent headed to Birmingham,
Alabama for the Southeastern
Conference Championships be-
ginning Wednesday.
The stellar campaign comes
on the heels of a freshman year
in which head coach Ginger
Brown-Lemm relied on the No. 5
player in the 2017 class to serve
in a leadership role normally re-
served for upperclassmen.
“Aubree is a superstar,” head
coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said.
“She started off with a bang her
freshman year and really carried
the team last year.”
But her youthful success
hasn’t been without issues.
As she battled through a
slump of sorts last spring, Jones
has revisited her time on the
hardwood to further her mental
game on the course.
Whereas golfers have plenty
of time to reflect on decisions in
between each shot, basketball
forces players to flush mistakes
quickly as teams fly up and down
the court.
It’s that scenario that Jones,
a former high school basketball
player, has tried to adapt on the
golf course.

— Jones has spent time away from
Starkville reworking her game.
Taking extra repetitions during
her summer and winter breaks,
Jones has slowed down her stroke
through the impact zone to create a
steadier swing.
“It’s one thing to always be hit-
ting a cut — you can line up left
and trust that you’re going to cut

to) some great, great golf. She’s
fired up, as is everybody on the
team.”
Further, Jones knows she has
dedicated the time to sort out her
issues; now it’s simply a matter of
believing.
“I think the biggest thing for
me when I’m hitting the ball is just
trusting that my swing is where I
need it to be because I know that
I’ve put in the work and I’ve just got
to let it happen,” she said.
With a renewed swing and a
Junior Colby White was also ef-
fective in his one inning of work,
notching a perfect eighth inning
with a fastball that topped out at 97
miles per hour to earn the win.
“Well, it was a close game, it was
1-1 when I came in,” White said. “I
mean, you can get beat by anybody
so you don’t want to take anybody
lightly or they’ll hit you.”

“I actually played with Lauren
from my 8th grade through my 10th
grade year,” McCool said. “I think
the transition will be easy because I
do know Lauren, so at least there’s
one girl on the team I do know and
she’s a fabulous softball player. I’ve
spend the last few years watching
her. She’s been one of my good
friends and it will be nice to play
with her.”

Individually, Brown-Lemm sees
the tournament as the latest step
in Jones’ transition from good to
great.
“I think it’s still culminating into
successful rounds for Aubree,” she
said. “Any time you have such a
huge challenge to your confidence
and to your ability to aggressively
compete, it takes a long time and
we’re still paving the road for suc-

Southern Miss moves up in Round 2 of C-USA Championships

FROM SPECIAL REPORTS
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- South-
ern Miss saw a three-stroke
improvement from its opening
round, and the Golden Eagles
will enter Wednesday’s final
round of the C-USA Champion-
ships in the No. 11 slot.
The Golden Eagles were one
of just three teams (Florida At-
lantic, Middle Tennessee) to
improve their scoring on the
day.
Both Miranda Holt and
Henriette Syr shaved three
strokes off their Monday
scores, while Valentina Haupt
held steady with her sec-
ond-straight, 1-under 71 which
is good enough to keep her in a
tie for sixth.
Haupt and Holt each tallied
four birdies on the day, while
Syr added a pair. Haupt so far
has also maintained the best
score in the field among par-
fives, holding a five-under over
those eight holes. She is also
one of five in the 60-person field
to have finished each round be-
low par.
Syr has also improved her
first-to-second round scores in
three consecutive events.
OLE MISS WOMEN IN
SEC: The No. 36 Ole Miss
women’s golf team heads to
Birmingham, Alabama, for the
SEC Championship beginning
Wednesday.
The Rebels will battle the
thirteen other schools from
the Southeastern Conference
at Greystone Golf and Country
Club, which has hosted the con-
ference championship the past
seven years.
The 2019 event will mark
the second consecutive year in
which the championship will
extend to a fourth day, with
match play on Saturday and
Sunday. Three rounds of stroke
play will occur the opening two
days of the championship. The
final round on Sunday was tele-
vised live on SEC Network.
The Rebels are getting hot at
the right time, having finished
in the top-5 in each of the past
two events, including a run-
ner-up finish at The Bruzzy in
Texas. Just this past weekend,
Ole Miss upset No. 9 Florida
in match play to finish fifth at
Georgia’s Liz Murphey Colle-
giate Classic.
“We are very excited to get
out there and compete against
our fellow SEC schools the next
couple of days,” head coach
Kory Henkes said. “This team
is very confident right now and
we’re ready for a great showing
in Birmingham. Some of us are
very familiar with this course,
which will be a huge help be-
cause most of us are coming
here for the first time.”
The lineup is staying the
same for the fourth straight
tournament. Julia Johnson will
be in the No. 1 position, followed
by Ellen Hutchinson-Kay, Con-
ner Beth Ball, Macy Somoskey,
and Kennedy Swann.
ALABAMA GROUPED
WITH GEORGIA, TENNES-
SEE: The No. 22-ranked Ala-

enters its second year using
a combination of stroke and

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April

do with joy overflowing. The
feeling is infectious. People
flock to you. You’ll have plenty
of company in your leisure as
well as support in your work. A
key relationship will grow and
solidify. June features a road

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
It’s time to think beyond the
obvious options, which have
been laid out by people who,
while nice enough, simply aren’t
you. Here’s a question: What if
instead of having this or that,
you could have this and that?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Something will help you to re-
member your original intention.
You may laugh at how that’s
changed, and yet you’ll still feel
excited the way you did when
you first started.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). The most difficult foe is
always the one inside. If you
try to quiet the chattering mind
librarian-style, by shushing, it
will only rebel, but you can tamp
down the dim through vigorous
exercise.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’re feeling something new
and you can add that to your
growing sense of a complicated
situation. It’s as though your
understanding is filling out
from a flat picture into three
dimensions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). One belief is that human
desire is petty and something to
overcome in order to do what is
required of us. Is that so? What
if something like the opposite is
actually true? You will be better
for the philosophical pondering.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
It’s time to stop thinking and
planning and to go find your
adventure instead. This one’s
not going to come to those
who wait. Clarity comes with
action. So does fun. So does
prosperity.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). There’s an excellent bal-
ance starting to shape up. Life
supports work, work supports
life, and there’s a nice conflu-
ence and continuity happening.
Understanding relationships are
a key part of the equation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your success comes as a
result of confronting mistakes.
It doesn’t always get better
on the first try, but keep at it.
Because even the sort of stub-
born errors that seem almost
ingrained can be overcome.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There’s always another way
to look at it. So if the current
way isn’t doing you any favors,
change it up. The beauty of it is
that you don’t have to commit.
You can try on a perspective
and put it back if it doesn’t fit.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Your work doesn’t have
to be completely finished to
be worthy of sharing. In fact,
there’s something to be gained
sharing unfinished work with
people who can encourage you
with valuable feedback.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Not all sound is music and
not all music is sound. Look for
rhythm in other parts of your
life. Feel the tone of relation-
ships, of places, of experiences.
Your poetic heart will get what
it needs.
