25 students begin summer job program


Its more than just a summer job. Its about
helping them prepare for work later in life.

Program aims to teach participants basic


work skills; students earn minimum wage
BY SLIM SMITH
ssmith@cdispatch.com

For most folks, today means


its back to work after the long
Memorial Day weekend.
But for many of the students
participating in the City of Columbus Summer Job program,
today marks their introduction
into the working world.

The program, now in its 23rd


year, began at 7 a.m. today for
the 25 students taking part. To
be eligible, students must be
residents of the city who are
students between the ages of 16
and 24. Although there are a few
college students in the program
each year, most are high school
students. For many, it is their
first paying job.

Its really a mixture, Travis Jones, who oversees the


program on a day-to-day basis,
said. Some of them will have
had jobs before, but for just as

many, its the first time theyve


really been exposed to the
working world.
Jones has supervised the kids
in the program for 20 years. The
biggest challenges the students
face, he said, is the most basic:
Getting to work on time and being ready to work.
Really, this program is as

much about learning what it


means to have a job as the work
itself, Jones said. Its things
like showing up on time, taking
directions, following instructions. But it goes farther than
that. We have a week of instruction, where we bring in speakers to share information about

Depps Alice bombs, X-Men:

Depps Alice Through

bombed over the Memorial Day weekend with just
$28.1 million through Sunday in North American
theaters, while X-Men:
Apocalypse debuted on
top with an estimated $65

The anticipated showdown of the two big-budget films turned out to be

ture and Purdue University found


that nearly 60,000 high-skilled agriculture-related jobs open up annually, but there are only about 35,000
college graduates available to fill
them.
University of Minnesota Extension is developing the challenge,
which is now in its second year
and already attracting interest from
other 4-H programs, such as Michigans. Extension specialist Josh
Rice says his team will present a
workshop for national 4-H officials
in October, and recently gave a presentation to youth development officials in Bangladesh.
This program is going to have
an extremely positive impact on
getting young people to think about
agricultural careers, Rice said.

In preparation for the finals


on June 21-23, teams from across
the state have spent months with
coaches and mentors. Recently,
judges helped them refine their
presentations.
The ear tags are property of the
Meeker County Ag Squad. Members Abbey and Bailee Schiefelbein, 16 and 13 respectively, said their
family members were in church
last year when their phones started
ringing the cows were loose. But
the pasture was about a four-hour
drive from their home in Kimball in
central Minnesota.
So, the team of five girls and
boys devised a system that farmers
could use to track their livestock
from far away, speaking with researchers who track moose with
GPS radio collars. While the $2,500
collars were a little expensive for a
cowboy, they learned about a small
transmitter in a $70 tracking collar for hunting dogs, and attached
them to ear tags that cattle wear.

Rehabilitation agency
Analysis: Wrights time as
says budget cuts will
superintendent at a crossroads trim services
UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME

BY JEFF AMY
The Associated Press

JACKSON Carey Wright wanted to be a superintendent pretty badly, but sometimes you have to wonder if she knew what she was getting
into when she took the job leading
Mississippis public schools.
Just in the last month, the governor made it harder for Wright to
reorganize the state Department
of Education by vetoing a bill that
would have exempted the department from civil service rules, partly
over concerns that the departments
chief information officer, John Porter, was being paid more than the
legal limit.
Then majorities of the state
House and Senate sent ugly letters
demanding that the department get
on board with a plan to fight the
federal government over transgender bathroom policy. Some of those
called for Wright to be fired, and
they all had threats of political repri-

sals if Wright and the Board of Education didnt do what Republican


legislative leaders wanted.
During the run-up to Tuesdays
specially called Board of Education
meeting, supporters began to fear
the board was going to fire Wright.
That didnt happen, and Board
Chairman John Kelly of Gulfport
gave her a renewed vote of confidence after a long closed session.
Still, though, 2 years into
Wrights term, history suggests that
her time at the helm of Mississippis
schools may be more than half done.
Since Richard Boyd became Mississippis first appointed superintendent in 1984, the median length of
service in the office is four years.
Its a tough, bruising job, with
less power than some observers
might realize. The typical superintendent is caught between an
imperious Legislature that doesnt
hesitate to dictate the details of how
it thinks schools ought to be managed, and local superintendents,

who can always opt


to voice agreement
with new state policies while waiting for
the latest fad to pass.
For example, who remembers Mississippis 1990s devotion
Wright
to tech prep a
program meant to blend academic
and vocational education and help
students find connections between
work and the classroom?
Wright made it to Mississippi after a 41-year career as a teacher, principal and administrator. She jumped
from a long career in well-regarded
Maryland schools to the District of
Columbia in 2009, rising to chief academic officer under Michelle Rhee,
who was often embroiled in controversy. Wright applied for a number
of superintendent jobs, becoming a
finalist but missing out on posts in
Des Moines, Iowa, and Omaha, Nebraska.

GRANTS FOR TEACHERS

Director says agency will cut


vocational rehabilitation and aid
to disabled homeowners
BY JEFF AMY AND NASSIM BENCHAABANE
The Associated Press

JACKSON Another Mississippi government


agency says that state budget cuts beginning July 1
are likely to cause service reductions.
Chris Howard, director of the Department of
Rehabilitation Services, said his agency will cut
vocational rehabilitation and aid to disabled homeowners because its state money is being cut by $3.4
million, or 12 percent.
He also the department will lose about $11 million in federal money because of reductions in state
funding and because it will no longer receive federal reimbursement for rent, legal services, computer services or other items provided by other state
agencies. Lawmakers banned state agencies from
charging each other for services as part of an effort
to assert more control over state spending.
Overall, the budget was rejiggered so that general state spending rose to $6.35 billion, but that
was after $187 million that had been in special accounts was swept into general budgets. Without
the changes, which didnt increase revenue but just
shifted it around, overall spending will fall about
$90 million, or 1.4 percent.

OUR VIEW

A victory for open government


On Thursday, Lowndes
County Chancery Judge
Kenneth Burns ruled Columbus Mayor Robert Smith and
the city council did, in fact,
violate Mississippis Open
Meeting Act.
Burns decision is the best
possible outcome. While city
attorney Jeff Turnage previously said the city will appeal
this issue to the Supreme
Court, we hope this ruling
will mark the end of this debate and usher in a new era of
open government in our city.
This episode began in
2014 when a Dispatch reporter filed a complaint to the
Ethics Commission after two
incidents of illegal meetings

occurred.
In the first, councilmen and
the mayor planned to meet
with LINK officials in small
groups. These meetings were
pre-arranged and involved
discussions of official policy,
specifically the LINKs role in
recruiting retail business to
the city.
Later, councilmen and the
mayor met in the same way to
discuss renovations to Trotter
Convention Center.
These meetings were
closed to the public, and a Dispatch reporter who requested
access to the Trotter meetings was denied. Decisions
made in these illegal meetings were later ratified by a

vote in an official meeting.


The city argued in its
appeal that these were not
meetings, but gatherings
held to share information that
would later be presented to
the council at a public meeting. Since the gatherings were
not meetings as defined by
the Open Meetings Act, the
public could be excluded, the
city argued.
Burns cut to the essence of
the matter in his ruling: Significant to the court is that
the city admits that the mayor
and other officials met with a
quorum of the council on the
days in question but divided
into groups with less than a
quorum of the council so the

public could be excluded, he


wrote.
The city claims it circumvented the law but didnt
break it. Systematically circumventing a law intended to
ensure government openness
defies the intent of the law.
The issue (and ruling) has
far-reaching ramifications. In
fact, this marks the first time
a judge has made a ruling on
an appeal of an Ethics Commission finding regarding
the Open Meetings Act. The
case has captured attention
throughout the state.
The city maintains it is
important that the mayor and
council are allowed to have
informal conversations about

city policy. We agree. But


there is an important distinction to be drawn between
exchanging thoughts and
reaching decisions that are
then announced at a later
time. The council clearly
crossed that line. The Ethics
Commission reached that
conclusion and now, so has
the courts.
Mississippi has some of
the least restrictive Open
Meeting laws in the nation.
Following those rules does
not inhibit the citys ability to
govern. It does, however, insist that the publics business
be done in public.
That has been our argument all along.

Superman has

I need a hero ... And hes
gotta be sure, and its gotta
be soon and hes gotta be
larger than life ... And hes
gotta be strong and hes gotta
be fast and hes gotta be fresh
from the fight. I need a hero.
Footloose, 1984
Sam and I went to see
Prairie neighbors Nick and
Eleanor Hairstons grandShannon Bardwell
daughter Reeds school
musical where she belted
out the Hero song. Ive been thinking about that
song ever since.
We were so knocked out by the talent, enthusiasm and participation of so many kids, weve havent
stopped talking about it. We saw another impressive
school musical, Aida, and were planning to see the
school performance of The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe, when unexpected company dropped in.
Thinking about the Hero lyrics made me realize
how fast things are changing in the world and that
its a wonder we arent all dizzy.
One morning while walking with Shirley and
Robin, Robin brought up the days of the blue laws
and the time her mother went to the drugstore on a
Sunday afternoon to get a prescription filled. She saw
a lawn chair and thought how nice it would be to sit
in the backyard, but she couldnt buy the chair due to
the blue laws.
I recounted hearing of a Sunday School teacher
who called in late Saturday night saying she couldnt
teach the next mornings class because her sons soccer team won their games and was now playing at 9
a.m. Sunday morning. My, how things have changed.
Occasionally I stop by Starkvilles wonder-filled
new Kroger grocery store. You need to be in the
mood for browsing to see all the features like amazing buffets, sit-down sushi bar, Starbucks coffee
shop, flower shop, rows of kitchen gadgets and small
appliances, not to mention all the fresh produce and
groceries.
And the bathrooms. Designers were thinking
ahead when they hung the signs, Family Restrooms. Just inside the alcove are door No. 1 Men,
door No. 2 Women, and door No. 3 Unisex.
Sharing the description of the bathrooms to a
young 30-something prompted this conversation:
She said, I dont know why all bathrooms and
shower/locker rooms arent private anyway. I remember being totally traumatized by junior high locker
rooms. Girls can be very mean.
She looked at Sam, And the whole concept of
urinals is just weird.
Somewhere along the way I feel like Ive fallen off
the moving sidewalk of progress. When did all the
rules change? Some of the language, I dont speak.
Some of the concepts, I cant wrap my brain around.
If my computer goes down, I cant work.
I wish I could ask my parents if they ever felt like
I do? Did my grandparents? Did electric motors send
them into a tailspin?
Who is in charge? Is anybody? Is the dearly departed Prince our hero? My friend Michele thought
Prince was somebodys dog. Does anybody know
what time it is?
I desperately need a hero, and hes gotta be sure
and hes gotta be strong and Id like it to be now.

Voice of the people


Supports Trump

Pat Buchanan Whos the conservative heretic


5-22-16 in The Dispatch, hit the nail on the head.
Let me state, The Donald was not my first choice.
Dr. Carson was, then Rubio. As the field narrowed
The Donald stood out because he was the same everywhere. I like the Make America Great motto.
All the finger pointing to The Donald should be
checked out, even by the Republicans. Anyone can
be nicked-picked. A lot of the statements of Mr.
Trump are taken out of context. They are spoken by
him to make a point.
Political correctness is not his to worry about. My
main support for him is, he is not in the race for the
money. He will take a pay cut and not for the power
because with his wealth and power in the private
sector. He could buy most of the politicians including
the Clintons. I might be naive, but I think he wants
America to be respected again.
The present administration is doing all that can be
done to drag America down further. The Pres is on
another apology tour selling arms to our enemy and
Lord help us what he will say to the Japanese. Forget
Pearl Harbor.
The Democrats want felons, illegals and anyone
else to be able to vote. Friends, the inmates are running the asylum.
Dont get me started on the transgender movement. God, the creator or whoever you think created
the world, created man and women, male and female
or girls and boys. The transgender was not in the
equation. There is a mental health problem. You are
born male or female, there is no, to be determined.
Have you noticed that when certain problems occur the present administration makes a controversial
law to take the eyes off the real problems. Terrorism,
border security and the economy for a few pressing
problems. He wants the minimum wage raised, but
nothing is said about those in the military that are
trying to protect us for less than minimum wage.
America is still the best, greatest place to live. We
just need more true patriots in Washington that are
not self-serving, egomaniacs that think they know
better than the ones that wrote the Constitution.
It has served us for all these years. Those that are
educated beyond their intelligence got elected, now
we are in a real mess.

I am not a Democrat or a Republican. I am a


God-fearing American.
I dont expect all to agree with me, all I ask is, to
think where you are today. Are you better off , worst
or treating water to keep up?

Judge: Closed council gatherings in Columbus


broke Open Meetings Act

KJ705: They violated the law because the public


meeting and public vote were not materially part of
the decision making process. They existed only to
attempt to avoid breaking the law. But they already
broke the law by excluding the public. This wasnt
random crosstalk between council members. This
was a meeting of the full council that was deliberately constructed in such a way as to circumvent the
open meeting laws. They wanted to avoid discussing
in an open meeting something that they were required to discuss in an open meeting. All the Ethics
Commission and the judge have ruled is that public
bodies cannot avoid the requirements of transparency.

Ask Rufus: Memorial Day

Danny Coggins: Oak Lawn Cemetery in Richmond has a historical marker claiming credit for the
first Declaration Day. I understand there are a dozen
or so cities in the nation making the same claim.
Who is first is not important to me, but rather a great
first step in understanding and healing began with
this thought. Such sad days and even compounded
with the fact that so many were marked unknown.
Families hoping and wondering what happened.
Always enjoy reading what Rufus writes.

search poll released Thursday


found that 44 percent report
Social Security will be their
biggest source of income
during their retirement years.
Full benefits begin at 65 or
66 for those born between 1943
and 1954. Americans can begin collecting as early as age
62, but with benefits reduced
by up to 30 percent, according

to the Social Security Administration.


One thing we know for certain is that claiming early can
have long-term repercussions
on your fiscal security as you
age, said Gary Koenig, vice
president of Financial security
at the A ARP Public Policy Institute.
Koenig said benefits increase significantly for those
who wait, rising around 8 percent more for each additional
year past age 66 and up to 70,
when benefits max out.
So we encourage people to
delay as long as possible, he

said.
But waiting is a luxury many
Americans dont have.
The poll found that 43 percent of those 50 and older plan
to receive, or have already
started receiving, Social Security early.
Ken Chrzastek of Chicago
began drawing Social Security
benefits at age 62 and pulled
$50,000 out of an IR A after losing a retail job two years ago.
He has been unable to find
even part-time work. Hiring
a 62-year-old is a liability for a
company, he said.
The poll found that Ameri-

cans 50 and over have multiple


sources of income for retirement but that Social Security
is the most common by far.
Eighty-six percent say they
have or will have Social Security income. More than half
had a retirement account such
as a 401(k), 403(b), or an IR A.
Slightly less had other savings.
About 43 percent had a traditional pension.
The average age at which
people expect to start or have
started collecting Social Security benefits is 64. Just 9 percent said they would wait until
after they turned 70.

Obama marks Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery


ARLINGTON, Va. President
Barack Obama challenged Americans on Memorial Day to fill the
silence from those who died serving their country with love and
support for families of the fallen,
not just with words but with our
actions.

Obama laid a wreath Monday at


the Tomb of the Unknowns to honor the nations war dead. Under
mostly sunny skies at Arlington
National Cemetery, he bowed his
head for a moment, then placed his
right hand over his heart as taps
was played. Obama in his address
commemorated the more than 1
million people in U.S. history who
paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Obama said the markers at Arlington belong mostly to young


Americans, those who never lived
to be honored as veterans for their
service.
The Americans who rest here,
and their families the best of us,
those from whom we asked everything ask of us today only one
thing in return: that we remember
them, Obama said.

Project: $1.9M to increase preterm baby breastfeeding


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSON Rural
mothers whose premature
babies are in intensive
care will be able to get
their breast milk delivered
to their babies, thanks to a
$1.9 million, three-year
grant, say authorities in

the Mississippi Delta.


The W.K. Kellogg
Foundation is providing
the money to the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi, based in
Hernando, for a program
called Right! From the
Start.

Research has found


that babies fed breast
milk are less likely to get
infections, and breast-fed
preemies are generally
healthier, Program director Sannie Snell told The
Commercial Appeal.
Snell says they hope

to deliver breast milk two


or three times a week
from Bolivar, Coahoma,
Leflore, Sunflower and
Washington counties to
the neonatal ICU at the
University of Mississippi
Medical Center in Jackson.

said students can work on
a variety of tasks.
This year, we hope to
use some of them to conduct some community
surveys, which helps us
identify what the needs
are in our community,
such as housing, transportation, Berry said. That
information is helpful to us
as we make our plans, and
we feel that using the kids
to help with those survey
makes a lot of sense.
Over the years, Jones
said the program has prov-

The kids do stick with

other reason. But the majority of kids really make
the commitment.

The Solid Gold Weekend amps up at 4 p.m.

AP-NORC poll: Americans want

Sanders pitch for changing the way
presidential candidates are chosen
appears to have broad public support.
As the tortured primary season
concludes, Americans say in a poll
by the Associated Press-NORC
Center for Public Affairs Research

that they have little faith in the


Democratic or Republican system
for selecting a presidential candidate. They prefer open primaries to
those that are closed to all but party members, like primaries instead
of caucuses and oppose the party
insiders known as superdelegates,
who have a substantial say in the
Democratic race.

Cincinnati Zoo director defends


killing gorilla to save boy
Director: Gorilla could crush a coconut in one hand
and no doubt that the boys life was in danger
BY DAN SEWELL
The Associated Press

CINCINNATI The Cincinnati


Zoos director on Monday defended
the decision to kill a gorilla to protect a 4-year-old boy who entered
its exhibit, noting its easy to second-guess after the child was recovered safely.
The male western lowland gorilla named Harambe was killed Saturday by a special zoo response team
that feared for the boys safety. Video taken by zoo visitors showed the
gorilla at times appeared to be protective of the boy but also dragged
him through the shallow moat.
Director Thane Maynard said
the gorilla was agitated and dis-

oriented by the commotion during


the 10 minutes after the boy fell.
He said the gorilla could crush a
coconut in one hand and there was
no doubt that the boys life was in
danger.
We stand by our decision, he
said Monday, reiterating that using
a tranquilizer on the 420-pound gorilla could have further threatened
the boy because it wouldnt have
taken effect immediately.
Maynard said an investigation
indicates the boy climbed over
a 3-foot-tall railing, then walked
through an area of bushes about
4 feet deep before plunging some
15 feet into the moat. The boy was
treated at a hospital and released
that same day.

The director said the zoo remains safe for its some 1.6 million
annual visitors, but a review is underway for possible improvements.
Kim OConnor, who witnessed
the boys fall, told WLWT-TV that
she heard the youngster say he
wanted to get in the water with the
gorillas. She said the boys mother
was with several other young children and told him no.
Anthony Seta, an animal rights
activist in Cincinnati, helped organize a vigil Monday just outside
the zoo gates. He said the gathering wasnt meant to assess blame
but rather to honor Harambe, who
turned 17 the day before he was
shot.
People can shout at the parents
and people can shout at the zoo,
Seta said. The fact is that a gorilla
that just celebrated his birthday has
been killed.

Goodbye, empty nest: Millennials staying longer with parents


For the first time on record, living with parents is now
the most common arrangement for people ages 18 to 34
BY CHRISTOPHER S.
RUGABER
AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON

Many of Americas young


adults appear to be in no
hurry to move out of their
old bedrooms.
For the first time on
record, living with parents is now the most common arrangement for
people ages 18 to 34, an
analysis of census data by
the Pew Research Center

has found.
Nearly one-third of
millennials live with
their parents, slightly
more than the proportion
who live with a spouse or
partner. Its the first time
that living at home has
outpaced living with a
spouse for this age group
since such record-keeping began in 1880.
The remaining young
adults are living alone,
with other relatives, in
college dorms, as room-

mates or under other circumstances.


The sharp shift reflects a long-running
decline in marriage, amplified by the economic
upheavals of the Great
Recession. The trend has
been particularly evident
among Americans who
lack a college degree.
The pattern may be
a contributing factor in
the sluggish growth of
the U.S. economy, which
depends heavily on con-

sumer spending. With


more young people living
with their parents rather
than on their own, fewer
people need to buy appliances, furniture or cable
subscriptions. The recovery from the 2008-09
recession has also been
hobbled by historically
low levels of home construction and home ownership.
As recently as 2000,
nearly 43 percent of
young adults ages 18 to
34 were married or living
with a partner. By 2014,
that proportion was just
31.6 percent.

Pakistani drivers family presses charges over drone hit


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

QUET TA, Pakistan


The family of a driver who
was killed alongside Taliban chief Mullah Akhtar
Mansour in a U.S. drone
strike in Pakistan has
filed a case against U.S.
officials, seeking to press
murder charges, police
said Sunday.
Mansour had entered
Pakistan from Iran using
a false name and fake
Pakistani identity documents on May 21, when
his car was targeted by
a U.S. drone. The driver,
who was also killed, was

It was not immediately

the family can realistically pursue.

ESPN reported Newman

wanted to meet with Howland and MSU before making a decision.
After meeting last
weekend, Webster said
the transfer is due to a culmination of things, most
notably a clash in styles.
I dont think the way
he was played sort of fit

said. Not saying Ben is a

Dedwylder uses different setup to win at Magnolia Motor Speedway

Scott
Dedwylders
early dominance in the
NeSmith Late Model
Touring Series continued Sunday night with a
$2,000 win at Magnolia
Motor Speedway.
The Vossburg native
has led or been in second place in the NeSmith
points race each week of
the season. After starting
sixth, Dedwylder rode
a harder tire compound
and an unfamiliar setup
to the win. He finished
second at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian
a night earlier in a 50-lap
NeSmith Touring race.
Its a mind-game here,
like at Meridian last night,
he said. I think we could
have went a little bit different at Meridian. Here, we
went different than wed
ever done. You have to keep
an open mind.
Part of Dedwylders
strategy was his tire selection, a decision that
helped him hold off Bran-

don Williams, who ran a


softer tire. Williams led
for a majority of the first
20 laps, maintaining a
lower line as the rest of
the top 10 dabbled in the
slicker top half. Williams
surrendered the lead to
Michael Arnold once the
duo hit lap traffic, but
Dedwylder, who has won
twice at Magnolia this
year, that proved to be
built for all 40 laps.
When youre on hard
tires, you gotta keep the

edges, Dedwylder said.


It looked like the No. 4
(Arnold) was getting a bit
tight and having to work
his edges a little bit. The
95 (Williams) was on all
softs they would make
it, but the hard tire goes
faster here.
Williams had competed in one race at Magnolia before Sunday. He said
he expected more caution flags, which would
negate the advantage of
hard-compound tires.

David Miller/Special to The Dispatch

Heath Beard (5) tries to hold off Brad Gable (47), who
is right on his bumper, in their Factory Stocks race
Sunday night at Magnolia Motor Speedway.

The harder tire came


on faster and developed a
little bit more of a lane,
Williams said. I know
those boys were on the
outside Im not a lane
jumper and I felt like
we were still competitive
on the bottom. This was
a solid second-place car.
Williams almost found
an opening against Dedwylder with nine laps to
go. After the final re-start
of the race, Williams got
an aggressive jump com-

ing out of turn four. The


nose of his car reached
the number of Dedwylders left side, but Dedwylder built another two
car-length advantage off
turn two.
I knew I couldnt run
with him the center out
of the turn, so what I was
building for is to gain
some distance between
me and the third-place
car, Williams said. I
wanted to protect second.
Magnolia locals took

three of the top four spots


in the regional series
race, as Jeremy Shaw, of
Millport, Alabama, and
Chase Washington, of
Houlka, finished fourth
and third, respectively.
This place out here,
its a tough place to get a
hold of, Shaw said. We
feel like when were all on

Chase and I were pretty close to equal. He was

HOCKEY: NHL

Golf
Wise wins NCAA title as Oregon advances

EUGENE, Ore. Oregon sophomore Aaron Wise bounced


back from a tee shot in the water with a birdie putt and a ferocious
fist pump, closing with a 1-over 71 on Monday to win the NCAA
title by two shots and give the Ducks a chance at the team
championship.
Wise, who is turning pro after the NCAA ends at Eugene
Country Club, is the first Oregon player to win the individual title.
He also became the first player from the host school to win the
mens national golf title since Gary Hallberg at Wake Forest in
1979.
He finished at 5-under 275, though it was tight at the finish
because of a pair of double bogeys on the back nine, including a
5-iron into the water on the par-3 16th. But he drilled his tee shot at
17 and holed a pivotal birdie putt that sealed his title.
Rico Hoey of Southern California shot 69 to finish second,
while Matthias Schwab of Vanderbilt was alone in third.
Oregon, which was No. 26 in the latest NCAA poll, was one of
eight teams that advanced to match play to decide the team title.
Top-ranked Texas enters match play as the No. 1 seed, followed
by Illinois and reigning champion LSU. Vanderbilt, which had the
54-hole lead until the Commodores shot a collective 12 over, tied
for fourth with USC, the runner-up a year ago. Oregon was No. 6,
while South Carolina and Oklahoma grabbed the last two spots.
Oklahoma, which made the 54-hole cut in a scorecard
tiebreaker, had a 3-under 277 behind Max McGreevy (66) and
Brad Dalke (68) to beat out Arizona State (11-over 291) by four
shots. McGreevy improved by 14 shots after shooting 80 in the
third round.
Alabama junior Robby Shelton tied for sixth with a four-day
total of 1-over par 281 (70-66-72-73). Following the event, Shelton
announced his intentions to turn professional.

Tennis

UCLAs McDonald, Virginias Collins get titles

TULSA, Okla. Mackenzie McDonald became the first


player in 15 years to pull off a double national championship.
About four hours after he upset top-seeded Mikael Torpegaard of Ohio State 6-3, 6-3, to win the NCAA mens singles
title, McDonald and UCLA teammate Martin Redlicki beat Arthur
Rinderknech and Jackson Withrow of Texas A&M to claim the
doubles championship Monday.
Earlier, Danielle Collins of Virginia defeated top-seeded
Hayley Carter of North Carolina 6-3, 6-2 for her second NCAA
womens tennis national championship.
McDonald is the first player since Matias Boeker of Georgia in
2001 (and fifth since 1974) to win both titles.
Im really happy with this accomplishment, its unbelievable,
McDonald said. I always wanted to win something for UCLA and
to bring back two trophies for them this year is really cool to me.
In the womens final, Carter (47-5) battled back from 3-0 to tie
the first set 3-3, but Collins won the next three games to take the
set. Collins (38-4), seeded second, led 5-1 in the second set and
clinched to become the seventh two-time womens champion.

Penguins win opener at home


BY WILL GRAVES
The Associated Press

Pittsburgh 3, San Jose 2

PIT TSBURGH Nick Bonino looks


the part. Thatchy beard that juts out well
below his chinstrap. Nose a bit askew.
The rugged forward has etched out a
career making a living in tight spaces,
putting his body in places on the ice that
arent for the meek.
Those instincts, honed from years of
finding order in the middle of chaos, lifted the Pittsburgh Penguins to the early
lead in the Stanley Cup Final.
Bonino darted to the net and knocked
in Kris Letangs centering pass with
2:33 remaining, lifting the Penguins to
a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks in
Game 1 on Monday night.
Pittsburgh recovered after blowing
an early two-goal lead and spoiled San
Joses long-awaited debut on the leagues
biggest stage. Game 2 is Wednesday
night in Pittsburgh.
Letang and Carl Hagelin took turns
digging the puck out of the corner behind the San Jose net when Letang
emerged with it and slipped it to Bonino,
who collected himself and flicked it past
Martin Jones blocker for his fourth goal

of the playoffs.
Tanger put it right on my stick,
Bonino said. It was a shot that wasnt
my hardest shot by any means, but I kind
of found a way to flip it over him.
Bonino has spent much of the last two
months as the heady, understated center
on Pittsburghs hottest line while playing
between hard-shooting Phil Kessel and
Hagelin. Dubbed HBK a chant that
occasionally greets them when they flip
over the boards and onto the ice they
have powered the Penguins to their first
Cup Final in seven years. Yet it was Bonino, whose hockey IQ is considered his
greatest attribute by Pittsburgh coach
Mike Sullivan, who scored the groups
biggest goal of the postseason.
He does all the things right and
found himself in a great position and capitalized on it, Pittsburgh forward Chris
Kunitz said.
Rookies Bryan Rust and Conor
Sheary also scored for the Penguins,
though Rust left in the third period after
absorbing a shot to the head from San
Joses Patrick Marleau.

Bettman not excited about leagues


participation in 2018 Olympics
BY WILL GRAVES
The Associated Press

PIT TSBURGH The


NHL remains open to continuing to send its players
to the Olympics, just so
long as it doesnt have foot
the bill.
Our teams are not
interested in paying for
the privilege of Olympic
participation,
Commissioner Gary Bettman said
Monday before Game 1
of the Stanley Cup Final
between the Pittsburgh
Penguins and San Jose
Sharks.
NHL players have been
a fixture at the Olympics
since the 1998 Games in
Nagano, Japan thanks in
large part to significant
financial support from
the International Olympic Committee and the

International Ice Hockey


Federation, which have
handled most of the travel costs, accommodations
and insurance for league
owners.
Bettman pointed to
IOC President Thomas
Bachs stated resistance
to providing subsidies for
any sport as a major stumbling block to having the
league stop in the middle
of the 2017-18 season so
over 100 players can head
to Pyeongchang, South
Korea for the 2018 Games.
Bettman said if the issue remains unresolved
I have no doubt it will
have significant impact
on our decision. He described the potential cost
as many, many millions
of dollars. This is no small
ticket item.

The Olympics has


helped the NHL expand
its global footprint while
providing a series of iconic moments, including
Sidney Crosbys golden
goal on home soil in the
2010 final and T.J. Oshies
shootout
performance
while leading the U.S. to
a victory over host Russia
in Sochi two years ago.
Yet with the NHLbacked World Cup of
Hockey coming to North
America this fall, the
league may no longer
need the Olympics as
much as it once did. Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly declined
to speculate whether the
World Cup would become
a more frequent event if
the NHL pulled out of the
Winter Games.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Cohen will wait to pick starting pitcher


BY BEN WAIT
bwait@cdispatch.com

STARKVILLE With an unfamiliar opponent, John Cohen hasnt


decided on his pitching rotation for
the Starkville Regional this weekend.
Top-seeded and No. 4 MSU (4116-1) will open NCAA tournament
play at 1:30 p.m. Friday against
fourth-seeded Southeast Missouri
State (39-19) at Dudy Noble Field.
Weve got to see SEMO play
before we make that decision, Cohen said Monday. I couldnt tell
you what their left/right situation
is, and thats going to be important,
(or) what their breakdown numbers
are left on left and right on right.
MSU has one of the best one-two
starting pitching combinations with
junior right-hander Dakota Hudson
(9-4, 2.35 ERA) and junior righthander Austin Sexton (7-3, 3.83).
Last week in the Southeastern Conference tournament in Hoover, Alabama, Hudson lasted five innings
and gave up four runs (two earned)
on nine hits in a 6-2 loss to LSU.
Sexton threw 4 1/3 innings and
gave up seven runs (six earned) on
11 hits in a 12-2, seven-inning loss
to Florida.
MSUs best pitching performance came from junior righthander Zac Houston (5-0, 1.93) in
a 4-1 victory against Alabama on
Wednesday. Making his fifth start,
the Poplarville native threw 8 2/3
innings and allowed one run on four
hits. He struck out five and didnt
issue a walk. Cohen feels Houston
has a shot to be in the mix.
That coupled with the fact with
what hes done in his bullpens and

in practice, his mentality, his body


language, everything about him
says, Hey, Im a real guy. Im throwing the baseball well and I can get
people out, Cohen said.
Freshman left-hander Konnor
Pilkington (3-1, 2.08) has been the
third starter. He threw 2/3 of an
inning in relief against Florida. He
didnt allow a run and gave up one
hit. He struck out one and walked
none.

Strong ace

Southeast Missouri State has an ace to match Hudson.


Senior left-hander Joey Lucchesi (10-4, 1.87) leads the
NCAA with 145 strikeouts in 105 2/3 innings. He has given
up 29 runs (22 earned) on 86 hits. He has walked 37.
He has thrown two complete games, including a complete-game shutout of Morehead State on Friday in the Ohio
Valley Conference tournament.
Hes a competitor, SEMO coach Steve Bieser said.
He has a good repertoire of pitches, where hes got a good
two-pitch mix. Hes a bulldog. Hes just really been able to
locate his pitches and his a strike thrower.
Bieser is unsure if the Newark, California, native will
throw against MSU. After throwing 119 pitches against
Morehead State, he threw 35 pitches in three innings Sunday to pick up his first save and help SEMO beat Jacksonville State 14-8 in the OVC tournament championship game.
Bieser hopes to get Lucchesi on track for Friday, but he
doesnt want to risk anything.
We dont want him less than 100 percent, Bieser said.
If we have to wait an extra day, we may wait an extra day.
Junior right-hander Clay Chandler (4-5, 3.91) and junior
left-hander Robert Beltran (8-1, 4.46) have started 14 and 16
games, respectively.

Titan of a staff

Cal State Fullerton has one of the nations best pitching


staffs.
Even though the Titans lead the NCAA with a 2.21 staff
ERA, coach Rick Vanderhook is surprised his pitchers have
performed so well. He gives all the credit to pitching coach
Jason Dietrich.
Hes good at what he does, Vanderhook said. Weve
been pretty good at pitching for the last five years. Weve
put a couple of pieces to the puzzle, developing the pitching
staff.
Second-seeded and No. 21 Cal State Fullerton (35-21)
will play third-seeded Louisiana Tech (40-18) at 6:30 p.m.
Friday. Like Cohen, Vanderhook hasnt named a starter.
He plans to study Louisiana Tech first before he makes a
decision.

Dietrich interviewed for the MSU opening after Butch


Thompson left to take over the Auburn job in October. He
decided to return to Fullerton and Cohen hired Dallas Baptists Wes Johnson.
Vanderhook has leaned on junior right-hander Scott
Serigstad (1-1, 1.13), junior right-hander Dylan Prohoroff
(1-1, 0.69), junior right-hander Miles Chambers (3-1, 1.01),
junior left-hander Maxwell Gibbs (0-1, 4.50), and junior righthander Chad Hockin (0-0, 1.11).
Freshman Colton Eastman (8-2, 2.11), sophomore lefthander John Gavin (6-3, 2.16), and sophomore right-hander
Connor Seabold (7-5, 2.42) have combined for 40 starts.
Theyve settled in to a pretty good situation among
themselves, Vanderhook said. Theyre all different.
Theyve all pitched out of the bullpen. Its just a different look.
They all throw different pitches for strikes.
Vanderhook hopes to have senior first baseman Tanner Pinkston back. He dislocated his elbow two weeks ago,
but he played last weekend in the first two games at Long
Beach State. Vanderhook said Pinkstons elbow flared up
after the playing time.
Pinkston is third on the team with a .377 batting average. He has a team-high 71 hits and has hit four home runs
and has 38 RBIs.

Finding themselves

After a 6-3 loss at Western Kentucky on April 8 in


Game 1 of a three-game series, Louisiana Tech fell to 16-10
and 4-6 in Conference USA.
The Bulldogs rebounded for a 12-9 victory in Game 2.
Starting pitcher Tyler Clancy left Game 3 after three innings
and gave way to Casey Sutton, who threw five shutout innings in a series-clinching 3-1 win.
I felt like that was the weekend that really turned our
season around, Louisiana Tech coach Greg Goff said. I
really felt like we went through some tough times, everybody
was really, really down and we had a guy, Casey Sutton,
that really stepped up and kind of equalized. From that point
on, we rolled.
Louisiana Tech finished 24-8 down the stretch and
won a school-record five-straight Conference USA series
to finish fifth.
Junior right-hander Sutton (7-1, 1.63), who played at
Hinds Community College, became a starter after that. Goff
said Sutton, who had Tommy John Surgery last season,
pitched to his capabilities. Goff was careful with Sutton early
on but turned him loose down the stretch.
With 18 junior college transfers on the team, the Bulldogs needed time to develop chemistry and an identity.
The experience we gained early in the year played a
vital role, Goff said. Our guys were starting to feel more
comfortable and more confident playing at this level.
Goff, who played at Delta State, said Sutton or junior
left-hander Phillip Diehl (5-5, 4.70) will start against Cal
State Fullerton.

Gaspard resigns after Alabama misses NCAA tournament


By The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA,
Ala.
University of Alabama
baseball coach Mitch Gaspard has resigned from his
position effective immediately, Director of Athletics
Bill Battle announced Monday.
Mitch and I met last
Friday to discuss how the

season has gone and possibilities for postseason play,


Battle said. At that time, he
expressed to me his wishes
to resign as baseball coach.
While that conversation was supposed to serve
as a prelude to our annual
postseason discussion on
the state of the program,
I accepted his resignation only on the basis that

it would not officially be


in effect until our season
had formally concluded.
Its clear to me Mitch had
made up his mind, and I respect his wishes.
Gaspard informed the
Alabama team and his staff
of his decision Monday
afternoon. Gaspard had a
234-193 (.548) record as Alabamas coach.

In seven seasons as our


head coach, Mitch always
represented us with class,
Battle said. He always
fielded highly competitive
teams and always conducted our program the right
way. He has always been
guided by the right principles, the kind of values you
seek in a head coach and
mentor of young people.

confidence that we could get back to the
Finals however we had to get it done,
MVP Stephen Curry said after his
36-point performance in Monday nights
96-88 clincher of the Western Conference
finals.
I knew we were ready for the moment. We were a mature basketball team
that tried our best not to listen to the
noise outside when six, seven days ago,
were down 3-1, everybody thought the
wheels were falling off and it was kind of
the end of our run, Curry said. But in
that locker room, the talk was positive.
It was, Lets figure this out, lets go out
and take it one game at a time and claw
our way back into the series and see what
happens. We followed that kind of mindset these last three games.
In the airplane sit-down, Klay Thompson was clear he could only focus as far
ahead as winning Game 5 before shifting
to think about how to win another one on
the Thunders court. Golden States most
steady player this postseason, he hit an
NBA-postseason record 11 3-pointers for
41 points in a thrilling 108-101 Game 6
comeback, then another six on Monday
night on the way to 21 points.
Even after two embarrassing, lopsided road losses at Oklahoma City that put
the Warriors in a big hole, Green counted

believed it would happen, Because once
we figured something out, we can get it

Those two defeats were by 52 combined points.
We were not just down 3-1, we had
gotten blown out two straight games,
coach Steve Kerr said. So obviously everything started with Game 5, kind of
rediscovering ourselves and our style.
Then Game 6 was kind of magical. What
Klay did that night, basically putting
us on his shoulders and allowing us to
have this opportunity tonight at home,
its a pretty remarkable comeback and it
shows a lot about our guys and their will
and their grit.

resting down the stretch, and they topped
the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls 72-wins mark.

Webster said the decision was mutual between
Newman and MSU. He
said Howland gave them
some advice.
Howland, who was

replace Rick Ray, signed
Newman last May.
I appreciate all of Maliks hard work, and I wish
him the very best moving
forward, Howland said in
a statement released by
MSU. I want nothing but
the best for Malik and his

The DispaTch

From Special Reports

HATTIESBURG The Southern Mississippi


baseball team didnt have to wait long Monday morning to discover where it will play its next game.
But while the suspense was mitigated, the destination turned out to be a bit of a surprise.
Southern Miss was in the fourth pairing announced on the televised NCAA Baseball Selection
Show, one of four teams slotted into the Tallahassee (Fla.) Regional.
I wasnt really paying attention, and I glanced
up and saw we were playing South Alabama, senior first baseman Tim Lynch said, and I was like,
Well, all right. At least, we dont have to sit around
and the rest of these bad commercials to find out
where we are playing.
Second-seeded Southern Miss (40-18) will face
a familiar foe in the opening round when it takes
on third-seeded South Alabama (40-20) at 11 a.m.
Friday at Dick Howser Stadium.
Top-seeded host Florida State (37-20) will face
fourth-seeded Alabama State (38-15) at 5 p.m. Friday.
Southern Miss defeated Rice 3-2 on Sunday to
win the Conference USA tournament at Pete Taylor
Park. It dropped back-to-back midweek games to
South Alabama in early March.
South Alabama defeated Southern Miss 9-3 on
March 1 in Mobile, Ala., before taking a 4-2 victory the next night over the Golden Eagles at MGM
Park in Biloxi.
I think theres an advantage there, said sophomore designated hitter Daniel Keating, who was
voted the 2016 C-USA Baseball Championship
Most Valuable Player and one four Golden Eagles
named C-USA All-Tournament.
You know what youre going to get, going into
it, so you know what to expect.
Southern Miss, which was ranked 18th in the
most recent (May 29) NCAA Ratings Percentage
Index (RPI), will make its first postseason baseball
trip to Tallahassee after previous assignments in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Austin, Texas; Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Oxford, Atlanta; and Auburn, Alabama.
The Golden Eagles earned a NCAA regional
berth for 13th time in the programs history, but
the first time since 2011.

Continued from Page 1B


first in school history, MSU will
play host to a regional and a super
regional if it advances. This is the
13th time the Bulldogs will play
host to a regional, and first since
2013
Top-seeded and No. 4 MSU (4116-1) will try to take that first step
when it takes on fourth-seeded
Southeast Missouri State (39-19)
at 1:30 p.m. Friday at Dudy Noble
Field.
Second-seeded Cal State Fullerton (35-21) will take on third-seeded Louisiana Tech (40-18) in the
second game Friday.
The Starkville Regional is
paired with the Lafayette (Louisiana) Regional (Louisiana-Lafayette, Arizona, Sam Houston State
and Princeton) for a super regional.
Vickerson, who went 2-for-5 with
four RBIs in that Game 3 against
Florida in 2011, also has vivid memories of the super regional.
I think about it quite a bit, especially now that my careers over,
Vickerson said. Its easy to sit
around and kind of reminisce on
good days. I have such a passion
for the game and I love Mississippi
State, so I think about it quite often,
especially at times like this when
you see those guys getting ready to
make a similar run.
Parks and Vickerson, who were
teammates from 2010-11, have kept
up with the program since theyve
left. Both played minor league
baseball before giving it up. Parks
was hired to lead the Starkville
Academy program last summer,
while Vickerson worked for a real
estate company in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He watched his younger
brother, Jake, play for MSU from
2014-15.
Playing host to a regional or a
super regional always is a topic
of conversation for MSU fans, but
talk about a national seed is a new
trend. Vickerson believed the goal
was achievable after MSU earned a
series win at LSU. The series victory came after Texas A&M swept

MSU in Starkville.
I think that really showed us
who they were as a team, Vickerson said. They were on top
and then they got punched in the
mouth. I think that showed a lot
about who they were.
After the LSU series win, Parks
felt like the schedule set up nicely
for MSU to gain a national seed.
MSU swept Missouri, Auburn, and
Arkansas to lock up a national seed.
MSU didnt host a super regional in 2013 when it advanced to the
College World series and finished
as national runner-up to UCLA.
Vickerson hopes he will be able
to make it to Starkville this weekend to be a part of the atmosphere
and the packed house at Dudy Noble Field.
We all know Starkville is one
of the best places to play college
baseball in the country, if not the
best, Vickerson said. If you can
have some confidence going into
the postseason, it really helps you.
I think being at home and being in
front of your home fans, thats going to give you all the confidence
you need. Its a special feeling, and
Im excited for those guys.
Parks knows MSU coach John
Cohen and the Bulldogs are focused on Southeast Missouri State.
He also realizes the current players
will need a little time to recognize
the significance of their accomplishments this season.
Parks expects to be part of the
crowd at Dudy Noble Field. As he
mingles with what could be 15,000
of his closest friends, he likely will
think back to 2011 and what could
have been. But hell know the 2016
Bulldogs wont have to face the
same adversity he and Vickerson
did.
Thats where its going to be
huge, in those clutch moments,
those big-time moments when you
need a crowd, Parks said.

RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING
tweeted Monday, Where
(is) this juco rumor coming from? Due to NCAA
transfer rules, Newman
will have to sit out one
year if he transfers to a Division I school.
Newman picked MSU
over Kentucky, Kansas,
and Ole Miss among others
last May. Webster said they
havent thought about possible landing spots.
MSUs all-time winningest coach Rick Stansbury
(293 wins) was hired by
Western Kentucky this offseason. Stansbury recruited Newman as an assistant
coach at Texas A&M. There
have been reports Western
Kentucky could be a landing spot for Newman.
Its going to be a
high-major, Division I

would be a No. 4 seed, but that is
exactly what we are looking at.
I think you just focus on
the game at hand. You cant get
caught up in the path you have
(to the College World Series).
You have to focus on finding a
way to win that first game. Then
you come out the next day and
try to win the next one.
Utah finished 19-11 in Pac12 play. The league doesnt
play a postseason tournament.
Utah took two of three games
from fellow regional participant
Washington to win the schools
first Pac-12 title in any sport.
The Rebels wont take the
Utes lightly. Ole Miss will start
junior right-hander Brady Bramlett (8-3, 3.14 ERA). Bianco said
Ole Miss will stick to its usual
pitching rotation this weekend.
Ole Miss has qualified for a
regional in 14 of Biancos 16 sea-

sons as coach. Ole Miss will play


host to a regional tournament
for the seventh time all under
Bianco.
This is a great time of the
year, Bianco said. To be in that
room when you know your name
is going to pop up, to see the
guys faces and to see the energy is exciting. That is what you
play for. You play for the opportunity to play in the postseason.
Each team who is here is
here for a reason. You have either
played consistently throughout
the season, like we have, or you
have that No. 1 pitcher who can
get you a win almost every weekend. You have that really great
offensive lineup or you have a
great defensive team, but there
is something that has worked
and gotten you to this point.
With a Ratings Percentage
Index (RPI) of 5, Ole Miss was

The committee
got it right. LSU
deserved a national
seed. So did we. You
could have also
argued for South
Carolina from our
league. Each were
right there.
Ole Miss baseball coach
Mike Bianco
the highest RPI team not to receive a national seed. The Southeastern Conference earned
a league-record four national
seeds (Florida, Texas A&M,

Mississippi State, and LSU).


Ole Miss finished one game
behind LSU in the SEC regular-season standings, but it took
the season series two games to
one. In the SEC tournament,
each team advanced to the semifinals. LSU secured the No. 8
national seed thanks in large
part to winning 14 of its final 16
games entering this weekend.
There was disappointment,
but it was very short-lived, Bianco said. You know you are in
a position (for a national seed),
but you know you are not projected to receive it. The committee got it right. LSU deserved
a national seed. So did we. You
could have also argued for South
Carolina from our league. Each
were right there.
However, you are only disappointed for a couple of minutes. You have a chance to play

and you are excited about that.


The goal is to find a way to win
games starting this weekend at
home.
The Oxford Regional is
paired with the Coral Gables
Regional, meaning if the seeds
hold Ole Miss would play Miami for a right to advance to the
College World Series. Ole Miss
qualified in 2014 by beating
Louisiana-Lafayette in a super
regional on the road.
Its not foreign territory,
Bianco said. You do have more
challenges on the road. However, we have faced some adversity
and really grown up throughout
the season. Playing in the SEC
toughens you and gets you ready
for opportunities like this.

There is no room for doubt, no

need to quickly come up with

up high, and deliver what you
created.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Youre the power in your life. No

One thing, though: Avoid the
charging station that worked

Partnerships will need to be

track, especially if you have a
less-than-pleasant history with
someone. Dont let the issue
switch from the original subject
to one of personal rivalry.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One
study suggests that a typical
college student will pull two
all-nighters per school year,
resulting in better academic
performance for only a meager
fraction of students. As for
you, early-to-bed will bring no
regrets.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). In the past you developed
this whole style of coping that
worked so well youre still using
a lot of it today. The question
is: Is this still necessary, or
does it unreasonably limit you?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Sometimes you give compliments because youre nice
and you like to make people
feel good. Today youre a little
more calculating, though, and
your compliments are aimed at
getting someone to lower his or
her defenses.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). If you have to talk about
your problem, do it in personal
terms, describing how it affects
your life and expressing all
of the feelings that come up
around it. Theres strength in
honest vulnerability.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). As you get older you
care less and less about being
liked. However, theres nothing
to gain from behaving in an
unlikeable fashion. Today, the
more they like you, the better
your position will be.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Theres a tall order with
your name on it. With the right
attitude youll finish the job
before Friday. Avoid negative
thinkers, and rewire your own
thought processes. Relentless
optimism is called for.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). What youre trying to do
is no small feat. This is going
to take time and persistence.
Today will be majorly productive
if you put your critical mind
aside.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). The difference between
dishing the dirt and mudslinging
is only a few drops of water.
This is an excellent time to stay
away from gossip altogether.
The thrills are cheap, and the
damage is costly.
