the day at Rick’s.
Another was Ronni
Brashear, a Jackson na-
tive and MSU art student,
who was selling acrylic
still-life painting just in-
side the café entrance.
When she heard Rick’s
was offering space, she
grabbed a few art pieces
and a plastic-top table at
her Cotton District apart-
ment, she said, and ar-
rived at the café by noon.
“I sold two paintings in
the first hour,” Brashear
said. “I wasn’t expecting
to do much of anything,
but I feel lucky to have
this spot.”
Starkville Area Arts
Council Director John
Bateman told The Dis-
patch the decision to can-
cel the festival came after
prolonged discussions
with the National Weath-
er Service. As the forecast
for Saturday’s weather
worsened, SAAC opted to
cancel and announced the
decision on social media.
“With the lightning
and thunder this morn-
ing and expected through
noon, we decided to make
the call,” Bateman said.
“Unfortunately, there is
no indoor alternative.
We’re disappointed, but
we wanted to put public
safety first.”
Rick’s Café already
planned to host a crawfish
boil in conjunction with
CDAF. So, when the fes-
tival was canceled, he de-
cided to make some room
for at least some artists.
By mid-afternoon, five art
vendors were set up there
and four bands had come
through to play.
“We tweeted it and put
it on (other) social me-
dia, and people started
showing up,” Welch said.
“We put a message out on
GroupMe asking for our
employees to come help
and people jumped in.
“It wasn’t anything or-
ganized,” he added. “We
just put the word out and
it started taking on a life
of its own.”
Other businesses
through Starkville also
jumped in through the
day to help support the
artists in town.

uled an impromptu music

night featuring the band
30 Fingers. Fred Rafus, a
manager, said the restau-
rant hoped to give the mu-
sicians a chance to play
and the people who came
to town for the festival a
chance to hear them.
“Any time that we can
essentially give people
what they want, that’s
what we try to do,” he
said. “It’s very unfortu-
nate the arts festival got
canceled. We look for-
ward to it every year and
we want to be able to con-
tinue it however we can.”
Welch said Saturday’s
efforts help to show what
makes Starkville special,
even in tough situations.
“It shows what kind
of community we are,”
Welch said. “We’re close-
knit. If there’s a need,
businesses try to step in
and fill it. There are a lot
of business owners like
that here in Starkville.”
Event won’t be
rescheduled
CDAF, an annual event
that coincides with Su-
per Bulldog Weekend at
MSU, drew about 50,000
people in 2018 and orga-
nizers this year were ex-
pecting a similar crowd
Saturday.
Mississippi State Uni-
versity Senior Associ-
ate Athletic Director for

Beasley said much of the
university’s schedule for
Super Bulldog Weekend
remained as planned.
However, she said the uni-
versity moved the start
time of MSU’s baseball
game against Alabama
up to 1 p.m., instead of its
originally planned 3 p.m.
start time. The change
put the baseball game and
Maroon/White spring

time.
Bateman said CDAF’s
juried art exhibit went as
planned, in MSU’s Visual
Arts Center on Universi-
ty Drive, with an exten-
sion set for the Greater
Starkville Development
Partnership building on
Main Street.
Bateman pointed out
it is logistically “nearly
impossible” to move the
festival to another day or
weekend.
“There’s a festival ev-
ery weekend, and a lot of
artists plan their circuit in
advance,” Bateman said.
“We would lose a lot of our
artists.
“That’s the risk we
face with an outdoor festi-
val, and we’ve been lucky”
he added. “As we were
discussing the decision,
as far as anyone could re-
member, we’ve only had
two cancellations before

Voice of the people
Political privilege and storm
cleanup
First, back in October 2018, we
have an elected official getting a super
deal at a local business by not paying
full price and then denying any knowl-
edge that he did anything wrong. Now,
we have another elected official get-
ting a good-buddy deal on the fees at
the Trotter. The response given to that
was, “congratulate me on my degree
and marriage.”
Really?
Who do these elected public ser-
vant think they are? What part of ”pub-
lic servant” do they not understand? I
know the city council pay is not great,
but they knew the pay before they
decided to run for office. Maybe, you
thought the fringe benefits off-set the
salary. Being honorable and having in-
tegrity has lost it’s meaning in today’s
political climate. Then, we wonder
why the city is in the shape it is in.
The character action of our leaders in
Columbus go a long ways in moving
the city in the right direction. I have
lost confidence in city hall after my
personal cell phone number was given
to a supporter of Kratom that called
complaining after the ban was issued
by the council.
Now, to the city cleanup. The storm
hit on February 23. Yesterday, April 9,
the go was given to start the cleanup
by the mayor. That is 43 days before
starting anything, and that is a long
time to wait. In my neighborhood
there was not storm damage just
normal springtime cleanup, and we
have not had any pick up for 43 days!
I think pick-up was made in the areas
affected by the Pilgrimage before now.
The talk on the street is that the city
is waiting for MEMA/FEMA monies
and J5 to handle and oversee all the
cleanup. The more picked up, the
more money received. Then, we hired
a firm “Debri Tech” at $229 per hour
to oversee the work that J5 is paid a
reported $90,000 annually and 6% of
all contracts the city enters into does.
Seems like a lot of overseeing going on
with the city having a real shortage of
money too. All I want is for Columbus
to overcome its financial problems,
control our crime and improve our
infrastructure. Monies are being spent
for things through grants, such as the
roundabout and etc. that we could do
without, in my opinion until we get
some infrastructure projects done.
As Tom Cruise said in Jerry Magu-
ire, “show me the money.” Then we
can move on. But I’m just beating a
dead horse.

Mysterious bowls of mashed potatoes confuse Mississippians

The Associated Press
JACKSON — Resi-
dents of a neighborhood
in Jackson are confused
by the bowls of mashed
potatoes they’re finding
on their cars, porches and
mailboxes.
Resident Jordan Lewis
described the Belhaven
neighborhood as a quirky
one, with residents deco-
rating road signs and put-
ting Christmas trees in
potholes.
“So we don’t know if
someone is just playing a
prank or if someone just
had a lot of leftovers,”
Lewis said.
But Sebastian Bjer-
negard says some resi-
dents fear there’s a more
sinister message behind
the potatoes.
“Some people were
thinking maybe the
mashed potatoes were poi-
soned to kill animals,” he
said, noting that he almost
stepped into a bowl of po-
tatoes Tuesday. “I didn’t
taste it. I have a three-sec-
ond rule, so I didn’t touch
it. But some people were
worried.”
It’s unclear if anyone
has eaten the potatoes,
and news outlets report
residents haven’t alerted
law enforcement.
Resident Michaela Lin
says some of potato-find-
ers have connections to
a local private Christian
university, which may be
a clue.

Citizens’ Council
Continued from Page 1A
months earlier, that man-
dated racial integration
of public schools. Over
the next quarter-century,
the Citizens’ Council ex-
panded into communities
throughout the state and
spread to neighboring
states, evolving in its lan-
guage but never in its fun-
damental support of white
supremacy — before it
quietly disbanded in 1989.
It took Rolph 18 months
to complete her work. Af-
ter earning her doctorate
from MSU in 2009, Rolph
donated her transcripts
of the show’s audiotapes
to MSU Libraries, where
they became a valuable
resource for visiting histo-
rians and researchers, but
remained largely inacces-
sible to anyone else.
Seizing an opportunity
Rolph’s painstaking
work might have remained
in relative obscurity were
it not for the arrival of Jes-
sica Perkins-Smith to the
MSU library in 2016.
“The Citizens’ Council
had always been one of
my research interests go-
ing back to my undergrad-
uate years at Millsaps,”
said Perkins-Smith, now
the university archivist.
“When I got here, we
had lots of other Citizens’
Council collections —
pamphlets and publica-
tions and things like that
— and they were heavily
used.
“After I had been here
a while I learned that we
had these tapes,” she add-
ed. “Nobody had asked to
listen to the tapes. I don’t
think anybody listened to
the tapes since Stepha-
nie.”
About the time Per-
kins-Smith learned of the
tapes, she noticed a call
for a grant issued by the
Council On Library and
Information Resources
called Recordings at Risk.
“They were specifical-
ly looking for audio and
video recordings at librar-
ies that might be of risk
of being lost because the
format was old or degra-
dation of film and things
like that,” she said. “I im-
mediately thought of the
Citizens’ Council tapes
when I saw that email.”
As part of the grant ap-
plication, Perkins-Smith
was instructed to send
the tapes to the North-
east Document Conser-
vation Center (NDCC) in
Andover, Massachusetts,
where they were reviewed
to see if the tapes were a
valuable collection at risk
of degradation.
“They could see that
some of the tapes had
dry-rot or had snapped
in places already,” Per-
kins-Smith said. “They
felt like because the con-
tents were so valuable,
and they were really at
risk and weren’t accessi-
ble to users, they would be
a good use for the grant.”
The NDCC wrote a
letter of support for Per-
kins-Smith’s grant appli-
cation, as did Rolph.
The grant was award-
ed. The tapes and Rolph’s
transcripts were sent
to the NDCC to be digi-
talized.
“We got a hard-drive
with the metadata,” Per-
kins-Smith said. “From
there, it was several
months of work for me
matching the transcripts
to the digitalized tapes
and creating subject
headings so the collection
would be search-able.”
Working with Emily
Smith, the library’s digital
products expert who up-
loaded the material, and
the MSU web services
department, which main-
tains the online collection,
those audio recordings
and Rolph’s transcripts of
270 “Forum” programs
are available to anyone
with access to a computer.
The collection is available
on the Mississippi State
University Libraries web-
site at http://lib.msstate.
edu.
Perkins-Smith said she
chose 270 tapes and tran-
scripts based on several
priorities.
“The decisions were
based on what our re-
searchers here would be
interested in, which is
Mississippi, primarily,”
Perkins-Smith said. “Any-
body that was a Mississip-
pi politician or a Citizens’
Council member from
Mississippi. They were
the first. Then it was na-
tional politicians, people
like Strom Thurmond and
George Wallace. Then
it was topics that our re-
searchers tend to be in-
terested in, which is civil
rights, race, education
and other big topics.”
Bigger than Mississippi
For many Mississippi-
ans, the Citizens’ Coun-
cil is remembered as an
organization whose influ-
ence and interests were
confined to Mississippi
and revolved exclusively
on the issues segregation
and, later, the Civil Rights
Movement.
But as Rolph’s research
on the “Forum” tapes,
which she used to support
a broader examination of
the Citizens’ Council in
her 2018 book, “Resist-
ing Equality: The Citi-
zens’ Council, 1954-1989,’
shows, the ambitions of
the Citizens’ Council ex-
panded across the nation
and internationally to
places such as Rhodesia
and South Africa, where
the group’s support of
white supremacy was wel-
comed in those minori-
ty-ruled nations.
“The Citizens’ Council
was the epitome of white
resistance to civil rights,”
Rolph said. “My book is a
new take on that. It puts it
in its national and global
context. It was anything
but provincial. I think that
surprises people.”
First produced as a
television show by WLBT
in Jackson and aired on
Sunday afternoon, the
Forum program was nar-
rowly focused in the early
years.
“At that time, most of
people on the show were
Jackson Citizens’ Coun-
cil members, politicians,
leaders of local churches
and occasionally, a couple
of congressmen,” Rolph
said.
Most of those early
programs were devoted
to fighting school integra-
tion.
When the decision was
made to move the pro-
gram to Washington, D.C.
and convert to a radio for-
mat, a broader range of
topics were chosen.
“That also changed
their guest list pretty
dramatically,” Rolph said.
“You started seeing U.S.
senators and congress-
men, occasionally mili-
tary guys.
“Barry Goldwater was
on in 1960,” she added.
“Strom Thurmond was
the most frequent guest.
California newspaper edi-
tor William Shearer, who
spearheaded efforts to
get (George) Wallace on
the ballot in California,
appears as early 1964.
By the time you get to
1965, 1966, the program
features more Mississip-
pi-based folks, but it is
also recording programs
in support of the white
minority rule of Rhode-
sia and South Africa and
explaining why the sys-
tem of apartheid — they
called it separate develop-
ment — was actually good
for the people of color in
those countries.”
Perkins-Smith said it’s
clear the program attract-
ed a national audience,
although it’s difficult to
measure precisely.
“In its literature, the
Citizens’ Council said it
was on more than 1,000
radio stations across the
nation,” she said.
What happens to
the ‘losers’?
The prospects of tran-
scribing hundreds of
hours of tapes weren’t
the drudgery one might
suspect, Rolph said. It
contained more than a
few surprises.
“Just as an example,
I was shocked that they
weren’t talking overtly
about race more,” Rolph
said. “They were finding
other ways to talk about
race without saying it.
It happened a lot earlier
than historians under-
stood. Historians had
said you see the shift
away from race language
to things like individu-
al rights after the early
‘60s. But in the tapes, I’m
seeing it as early as 1959.
The council had been
known for terrorizing
black people and keeping
white moderates at bay.
What surprised me was
that the popularity of that
rhetoric is places like
California after the Watts
riots. It was critical in
getting George Wallace
on the (1968 Presiden-
tial) ballot.”
For Rolph, the story
of the Citizens’ Council
“Forum” presents a fas-
cinating question that is
often neglected by casual
observers.
“When social change
is upon us, and one group
is pushing for a change
and another group hold-
ing on for dear life to the
world they know, you have
to follow both groups for-
ward,” Rolph said. “What
happens to the group that
quote ‘lost?’ They don’t
disappear. They put their
energy in other places.
I think that’s one of the
fascinating aspects of the
Citizens’ Council story.”
“That’s one of the
things they were doing
on the shows in the mid-
60s,” Perkins-Smith said.
“They realized the Voting
Rights Act was going to
pass, that the Civil Rights
Act was going to pass.
They realized in order to
stay relevant, they had to
broaden their reach.”
Rolph said the later
years of the Citizens’
Council efforts were de-
voted to finding a “home”
for its ideology in national
conservative politics, and
she believes the echoes
of those old shows can be
found in today’s conser-
vative politics on subjects
such as education and im-
migration.
The question
of relevance
Along the way, and
many times since, Rolph
has encountered the
kinds of questions that
often confront historians:
Why does this matter?
Why bring up all of this
old stuff? That’s not how
it is today.
“I only hear that two or
three times a day,” Rolph
deadpanned.
On Tuesday, before a
Congressional hearing
on the rise of white na-
tionalism, conservative
commentator Candace
Owens, a black wom-
an, said in her testimo-
ny the idea that white
nationalism is growing
is fear-mongering by
Democrats and that the
“Southern Strategy” em-
ployed by the Republican
Party to capture conser-
vative Southern voters by
appealing to anti-black
sentiments “never hap-
pened.”
In response to Ow-
ens’ testimony, Missis-
sippi Gov. Phil Bryant
tweeted: “Everyone in
America should hear
this young lady. No one
has articulated the truth
more clearly. A profile in
courage.”
The Citizens’ Council
Forum tapes are a strong
rebuttal to that argu-
ment, using the words of
those voices who made
the argument Owens sug-
gested never happened.
Likewise, the vestig-
es of the earliest days of
the Citizens’ Council are
found in the debate over
education in Mississippi.
“What were they in-
vested in after they ‘lost’
the segregation battle?”
Rolph asked, “The way it
matters most now is our
private school system.
(The council) accepted
the fact they weren’t go-
ing to win the battle to
keep public schools seg-
regated. Private schools
were the answer.”
There is evidence that
it’s still the answer, 30
years after the Citizens’
Council disbanded.
In this year’s session,
$2 million was appropri-
ated by The Mississippi
Legislature for special
education students to at-
tend private schools af-
ter under-funding public
school special education
by $30 million.
“The few resources
our state has for educa-
tion are split,” Rolph said.
“Legislators may not be
funding private schools,
but legislators who went
to private schools or
send their kids to private
schools, they are not in-
vested in public schools.”

Wet weather leads

to sloppy play in
spring game
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
Messy, ugly, wet, bor-
ing. There were plenty of
iterations of the word bad
to describe Saturday’s
Maroon and White Spring
game at Davis Wade Sta-
dium.
“I feel like I got an am-
ateur degree in meteorol-
ogy the last couple days,”
head coach Joe Moorhead
joked of the weather.
Things were sloppy
from the start in the Ma-
roon team’s 50-10 “victo-
ry.”
Most notably, it was
middling quarterback
play that anchored Satur-
day’s mediocrity.
Junior Keytaon Thomp-
son, redshirt freshman
Jalen Mayden, freshman
Garrett Shrader and red-
shirt junior Logan Bur-
nett combined for 15-of-32
passing, 150 yards and 3
touchdowns.
Most worrisome was
Thompson’s day. The
presumed starter coming
into spring camp, there
was an expectation he’d
bring a new identity to
an MSU passing attack
that ranked 13th in the
Southeastern Conference
in passing yards per game
last season.

Diamond Dawgs rip Alabama, 9-1

BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
Senior pitcher Peyton Plumlee an-
chored a 9-1 Mississippi State victory
over Alabama on Saturday at Dudy No-
ble Field.
Plumlee tossed five scoreless in-
nings, giving up just four hits to earn the
victory.
Offensively, eight of MSU’s nine start-
ers earned hits on the day. Sophomores
Jordan Westburg and Rowdey Jordan
each collected two hits.
Senior outfielder Elijah MacNamee
and junior catcher Dustin Skelton pro-
vided late-inning run support.
MacNamee’s seventh inning home
run scored two runs while Skelton add-
ed another three with a homer of his own
later in the frame.
Senior Marshall Gilbert also col-
lected a home run in the eighth inning,
stretching the MSU lead to eight.
“I think everybody is playing with
their hair on fire right now,” Plumlee
said. “I think we’ve had some games up
to this point where people have doubted
us a little bit but nothing ever changes
with us and we’re just going to look to
keep moving forward and get another
win tomorrow.”
With the win No. 5 MSU secures its
second straight SEC series win after tak-
ing two-of-three games from Tennessee
in Knoxville last weekend.
The Bulldogs have now won six of
their last seven games, including a Fri-
day win over the Crimson Tide.
Redshirt junior Ethan Small domi-
nated the Alabama batting order, giving
up just three hits in six innings of work. Chris McDill/Special to The Dispatch

THE MASTERS
Molinari takes
charge in Round 3
Woods within striking distance
for final round of Masters
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Re-
cord scores on the white
boards at Augusta Na-
tional. Ground-shaking
roars for Tiger Woods
along the back nine.
Francesco Molinari
blocked out the buzz on
a delirious day of nine
players sharing space
atop the leaderboard Sat-
urday. He emerged with
another rock-solid round
that looked spectacular
only on his scorecard.
Molinari ran off four
straight birdies on the
back nine for a 6-under
66 that kept Woods and
everyone else at a short
arm’s length going into
a Sunday unlike any
other at the Masters —
an early start because
of storms forecast for
Sunday afternoon, with
threesomes going off
the first and 10th tees.
The leaders were to tee
off at 9:20 a.m.
That puts Woods in
the final group at the
Masters for the first
time in 12 years, two
shots behind.
Molinari played with
Woods on the final day
at Carnoustie last sum-
mer and outplayed the
14-time major champion
amid a crowded leader-
board to win the British
Open.
This is different.
This is Augusta Na-
tional, where the gallery
that cheered louder with
each birdie by Woods
made it clear they were
aching to see the four-
time champion slip a
green jacket over a red
shirt for the first time
since 2005.
“He obviously loves
this place, and he’s play-
ing great golf,” Molinari
said. “So I’m aware that
it’s not going to be easy
tomorrow and, like I
said, I can just do my
best.”
Woods has not played
in the final group at a
major since he gave up
a two-shot lead to Y.E.
Yang at Hazeltine in the
2009 PGA Champion-
ship
He got there Saturday
with three straight bird-
ies on the front and fin-
ished with three birdies
over his last six holes for
a 67, his best score at the
Masters since the final
round in 2011.
Joining them will be
Tony Finau, playing this
year on two good ankles
after a self-inflicted in-
jury a year ago . He was
part of a history-making
Saturday as one of three
players to shoot 64.
Molinari was at 13-un-
der 203.
The Italian doesn’t
get excited easily, wheth-
er he’s cradling a claret
jug or going 5-0 in the
Ryder Cup. His strategy
doesn’t change in any
environment — try to hit
the ball squarely, play
smart, avoid bogeys. It’s
working so well that Mo-
linari goes into the final
round having gone 43
consecutive holes with-
out a bogey.
“A lot of guys are play-
ing great. I wish I only
had to worry about him,”
Molinari said of Woods.
Another shot behind
was Brooks Koepka,
who has won three of the
last six majors and had a
69 despite four bogeys.
Woods has won all 14
of his majors when he
had at least a share of
the lead going into the
final round. He brings
momentum to this ma-
jor, having contended in
the last two.
“It’s been a while
since I’ve been in con-
tention here,” Woods
said. “But then again,
the last two majors count
for something. I’ve been
in the mix with a chance
to win major champi-
onships in the last two
years, and so that helps.”
Molinari knows what
kind of atmosphere
Woods brings to a ma-
jor. Woods briefly took
the lead at Carnoustie
last year, but the Italian
never flinched, playing
bogey-free to capture his
first major.
Augusta National
might sound different
than a tough links along
the North Sea of Scot-
land.
This is where Woods
first captured the at-
tention of the sporting
public when he set 20
records in winning the
first of his four green
jackets. This is the gal-
lery that has longed to
see him recapture the
past, especially after
four back surgeries that
only two years ago left
him hobbling up the
stairs, wondering if he
would play again.
Woods looked good
as new this week, even
for a 43-year-old who
hasn’t won a major in
nearly 11 years.
“I’m just thankful to
be able to come back
here and play again,”
Woods said.
He joined the chasing
pack on a day when go-
ing neutral meant losing
ground. The 65 players
combined to go 80-un-
der par, at 70.77 the sec-
ond-lowest scoring aver-
age in Masters history.
When he rolled in a
7-foot birdie putt on the
par-3 16th, and the mas-
sive gallery rose to their
feet with yet another
ear-splitting roar, Woods
became the ninth player
who had at least a share
of the lead Saturday.
Molinari, playing in the
final group, kept right on
rolling.
“I hit the ball a little
less well than yester-
day,” Molinari said. “But
I holed some really good
putts at 4 and 5 to save
par. I can only be happy
about today. It will be an
exciting day tomorrow.”
No one figures to be
as excited as Finau, who
turned his ankle cele-
brating a hole-in-one
in the par 3 contest last
year. He still managed
to tie for 10th in his first
Masters.
He nearly holed
a 4-iron on the par-5
eighth Saturday on his
way to a record-tying 30
on the front nine.
Because of the
change in starting
times, Finau gets to play
alongside Woods — his
golfing hero.
“As a kid, I always
wanted to compete
against him and have
the opportunity to ...
you know, I’ve dreamed
of playing in the final
group with him in a ma-
jor championship.”
Webb Simpson, who
also shot 64, joined Ian
Poulter (68) at 9-under
207, four shots behind
and very much in the
picture. The group an-
other shot back includ-
ed Dustin Johnson, who
only made birdies on the
par 5s and bogeyed his
last hole for a 70.
The crowd favors
Woods. The perfor-
mance over the last year
favors Molinari, whose
British Open title is
among four big tourna-
ments he has won since
last year’s Masters. Mo-
linari sees it another
way.
“The favorite is prob-
ably the golf course out
there waiting for us,” he
said.

QB battle remains
lively at Auburn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUBURN, Ala. — Gus
Malzahn said all four of
his quarterbacks made
some big plays in the
spring game.
A more detailed public
assessment, and any com-
ment on the pecking or-
der, will just have to wait.
“We’ve got quite a few
of them we feel like can

ahn said after Saturday’s

under pressure and fired

been in the mix.
They combined for five
touchdown passes in the
spring game. Wide re-
ceiver Seth Williams said
Auburn’s in good shape

“We’re good. We’ve got

who caught two touch-
downs from Gatewood,
said. “We’ve got four
quarterbacks and one of
them’s going to be our
guy. All of them are just
good, so we’re not going
to have a problem there.”
Malzahn hasn’t offered
details on a pecking order,
though Gatewood and Nix
took turns leading the
first-team offense in the
opening half.
Malzahn didn’t an-
nounce that Cam Newton,
who wound up winning
the Heisman Trophy and
leading Auburn to the
2010 national title, had
won the job until days af-

ANN ARBOR, Mich.
— Jim Harbaugh has

How different is it?
“It’s night and day,”

and of course the speed’s

is different. It’s been good
for him to get used to ev-

Willis is the most ex-
perienced, since he’s the
only one of the four with
more than one college
pass attempt. But he has
twice as many career runs
(28) as passes (14). His
numbers: 7 of 8, 63 yards,
TD.
Willis got off to a good
start with a 41-yard over-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nick Saban isn’t likely to get
much sympathy from his coaching
peers regarding his offseason chal-
lenges.
But even Alabama faces some,
especially on a defense that was un-
characteristically vulnerable late
last season. Such challenges are
inevitable when seven underclass-
men declare for the NFL draft,
even more than the usual exodus.
The tasks include replacing
some defensive stars, bringing
along two freshman quarterbacks
behind Heisman Trophy runner-up
Tua Tagovailoa and getting other
newcomers acclimated to the sys-
tem and expectations.
“We have a very young team,”
Saban said this week. “We don’t
have a lot of depth. We’ll welcome
the new players that we have com-
ing in the fall. I think there’s a doz-
en more and maybe some of those
guys can contribute to some of the
issues that we have from a depth
standpoint.”
OK, it’s hardly a sob story with
15 members of the nation’s No. 1 re-
cruiting class already on campus.
Alabama wrapped up spring with
Saturday’s annual A-Day spring
game pitting the first-team offense
versus the first-team defense in yet
another part of that development.
Alabama, as usual, has opportu-
nities in some spots for newcomers
to play early roles. The candidates
include a pair of top-10 prospects,
defensive end Antonio Alfano and
offensive tackle Evan Neal — along
with two four-star quarterbacks
with crimson bloodlines. The Tide
is looking for a starting tackle with
the early departure of projected
first-round pick Jonah Williams,
and Raekwon Davis is the only re-
turning starter along the defensive
front.
Some of those departures were
practically foregone conclusion
with Jonah Williams and defensive
tackle Quinnen Williams regarded
as likely high first-round picks.
It wasn’t the typical Alabama
defense even before four defend-
ers left early, a fact painfully re-
inforced in a 44-16 national cham-
pionship game loss to Clemson.
Alabama allowed an average of 345
passing yards to a trio of star quar-
terbacks — Georgia’s Jake Fromm,
Oklahoma Heisman Trophy win-
ner Kyler Murray and Clemson
freshman Trevor Lawrence — in
the final three games.
The Tide gave up eight touch-
down passes without an intercep-
tion during that stretch.
Some other intriguing posi-
tions/storylines for the Tide leav-
ing spring:
Jalen Hurts gave Alabama the
luxury of a backup quarterback
who was also a two-year starter.
Hurts is now at Oklahoma as a
graduate transfer.
Mac Jones was a third-teamer
last season but only completed five
passes while playing a mop-up role.
He put up the biggest numbers in
the spring game among the back-
ups, going 19 of 23 for 271 yards
with two touchdowns and an inter-
ception, mostly in the first half.
Freshmen Taulia Tagovailoa,
Tua’s younger brother, and Paul
Tyson tried to take advantage of a
chance to perform in front of Tide
fans at the spring game.
Tyson is the great grandson of
iconic former Alabama coach Bear
Bryant. Taulia Tagovailoa was 6-of-
9 passing for 93 yards with a touch-
down and an interception. Tyson
attempted five passes, completing
one for 8 yards while also getting
picked off.
Alabama had depth issues at in-
side linebacker even before Mack
Wilson opted to skip his senior
season. Fifth-year senior Joshua
McMillon has drawn praise from
Saban.
Defensive tackle DJ Dale wasn’t
among the highest rated recruits
but has gotten strong enough re-
views to think he might have a
chance at playing time as a fresh-
man. Saban said Dale has shown
some physical skills but also “a lit-
tle maturity about being able to go
out there and do his job.”
Tailbacks Najee Harris and Bri-
an Robinson appear good enough
to maintain Alabama’s tradition
of star runners. But Alabama is
replacing senior Damien Harris
and potential first-round pick Josh
Jacobs. Five-star freshman Trey
Sanders arrives this summer.
WHITE TOPS CRIMSON:
Alabama concluded its spring sea-
son with the annual Golden Flake
A-Day Game Saturday afternoon in
Bryant-Denny Stadium. The White
team came out on top of Crimson,
31-17.
Freshman wide receiver John
Metchie won the Dixie Howell Me-
morial Award (MVP of the A-Day
Game), while senior linebacker
Anfernee Jennings earned the
Dwight Stephenson Award (Most
Valuable Lineman of the A-Day
Game).
“I do think we had a good
spring,” Saban said. “I like the
team dynamic we have on this
team. Lot of guys work hard and
try to do the right things. They
support each other. We don’t have
any guys pulling anybody down in
terms of their work ethic or how
they go about their work. They try
to support each other.”
On offense, sophomore quarter-
back Mac Jones threw for 271 yard
after going 19 of 23 with one inter-
ception and two touchdowns, while
junior quarterback Tua Tagovailoa
went 19 of 37 with one touchdown,
one interception and 265 yards.
Metchie led all receivers with 133
yards on five catches, while junior
running back Brian Robinson, Jr.,
led all rushers with 42 yards on 11
carries, while adding 52 yards on
six catches.
On defense, freshman lineback-
er Shane Lee led the way with sev-
en tackles, including six solo stops
and an interception.
Following an 18-yard intercep-
tion return by Lee, the Crimson
side got on the scoreboard first
with a five play, 30-yard drive,
capped off by junior running back
Najee Harris reaching the end
zone from four yards out. Redshirt
sophomore kicker Joseph Bulovas
converted the extra point to make
it 7-0 with 3:42 left on the first quar-
ter clock.
On the ensuing drive, the White
squad marched down the field when
Jones found Metchie deep down
the middle for a 49-yard strike.
Four plays later freshman kicker
Will Reichard knocked through a
43-yard field good attempt to make
it 7-3 with 1:10 on the clock.
Crimson answered back with a
field goal of its own after driving
59 yards in eight plays with Bulo-
vas converting the 34-yard attempt
to push the lead to 10-3 with 11:42
remaining before the half.
White tied the game up at 10-
10 with 1:23 to go before the half-
time break when Jones found ju-
nior tight end Kedrick James for
a 29-yard touchdown. Reichard’s
extra point finished the six play 69-
yard drive. After a quick Crimson
three-and-out, White got the ball
back with 47 seconds on the clock.
Jones led the squad down the field
and connected with redshirt fresh-
man Xavier Williams for a 22-yard
touchdown pitch-and-catch. The
Reichard extra point made it 17-10
going into halftime.
In the third quarter, White ex-
tended its lead when freshman
quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa
linked up with sophomore wide re-
ceiver Jaylen Waddle for a 29-yard
touchdown with 5:16 on the clock.
Reichard’s point after made it 24-10
to cap the seven play 77-yard scor-
ing drive.
On the next Crimson drive, soph-
omore linebacker Jaylen Moody
snagged the attempted pass out of
the air for an interception and took
it 30 yards for the score. Another
extra point from Reichard had the
White team in control, 31-10 with
3:31 left in the third.

Guarantano the
answer for Tennessee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
— Tennessee needs a
breakthrough season
from Jarrett Guarantano
as the Volunteers attempt
to bounce back from two
straight last-place finish-
es in a division loaded
with experienced quarter-
backs.
Guarantano took a step
forward this spring while
showing his comfort level
with new offensive coor-
dinator Jim Chaney. The
redshirt junior was named
the most valuable player of
Tennessee’s spring game
Saturday night as he went
19 of 37 for 198 yards and
threw four touchdown
passes without an inter-
ception.
“I feel pretty comfort-
able,” Guarantano said af-
terward. “There’s a lot of
room to improve. There’s

football game at Davis Wade Stadium.
Guarantano is playing
Tennessee in 2009 when
quarterback Jonathan
Crompton had the best
year of his college career.
Chaney was Pittsburgh’s
offensive coordinator in
2015 when Tennessee
transfer Nathan Peterman
began to show the prom-
ise for the Panthers that
made him a fifth-round
draft pick in 2017.
“I think the way Coach
Chaney calls plays is dif-
ferent,” Guarantano said.
“We’re more focused on
explosive plays.”
Weinke led Florida
State to an undefeated
season and national ti-
tle in 1999 and won the
Heisman Trophy the fol-
lowing year.
“I’m a firm believer
you don’t just talk about
X’s and O’s, especially
at this position,” Weinke
said this week. “You talk
about the total responsi-
bility of playing quarter-
back at a major program.

Instead, Saturday brought more
questions in the perplexing parable
of what Thompson brings to the
MSU offense.
The New Orleans native missed
open receivers high and wide reg-
ularly in the early going Saturday,
starting the game 3-of-10 — albeit
a handful of drops didn’t help his
case.
On the third play of the session,
Thompson dropped back to pass.
Losing his footing before throw-
ing, he airmailed a wide-open Ste-
phen Guidry streaking down the
east sideline at Davis Wade Stadi-
um for a would-be touchdown.
This isn’t to say Thompson is de-
void of talent as he completed six of
his final eight attempts and tossed
all three passing touchdowns on
the day.
Midway through the second half
he dropped in a picture perfect ball
to redshirt sophomore Austin Wil-
liams for a score toward the back-
right corner of the south end zone.
Thompson backed that up with
a perfect back-shoulder floater to
redshirt junior receiver Osirus
Mitchell in the same corner a few
possessions later.
“It was kind of wet out there …
weird format of the spring game,
but we have to learn to just fight
through those things and still ex-
ecute at a high level,” Thompson
said.
Passing game aside, the MSU
run game was as good as has been
advertised this spring.
With Nick Fitzgerald off to the
NFL, the MSU coaching staff has
harped on relying more on running
for his fourth offensive co-
ordinator and fourth quar-
terback coach in as many
seasons. He may have a
winning combination this
time.

from Georgia and moved
Chris Weinke from run-

Chaney has a knack

outcompete the United
States in this powerful
industry of the future’
President Donald Trump
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE
and TALI ARBEL
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. gov-
ernment will hold a massive auction
later this year to bolster 5G service,
the next generation of mobile net-
works. President Donald Trump
showcased the announcement Fri-
day, declaring that the race to stand
up these faster, more powerful net-
works is a competition “America
must win.”
“We cannot allow any other
country to outcompete the United
States in this powerful industry
of the future,” Trump said at the
White House. “We are leading by
so much in so many different indus-
tries of that type, and we just can’t
let that happen.”
Trump also announced a $20 bil-
lion plan to expand broadband ac-
speeds and has implications for
technologies like self-driving cars
and augmented reality. Trump said
it will transform the way people
work, learn, communicate and trav-
el, making farms more productive,
manufacturers more competitive
and health care better and more
accessible. But experts say it’s hard
to know now how much life will ac-
tually change because of the much-
hyped network upgrade.
It will take years to roll out, and
the highest data speeds and capaci-
ties may not reach rural areas at all.
The rollout started last week in
the U.S. and South Korea but will
take years.
The Federal Communications
Commission said Friday that it
would hold the largest auction in
U.S. history to boost wireless com-
panies’ networks. The auction is set
for Dec. 10, and will be the agency’s
third for 5G, said FCC Chairman
Ajit Pai, who joined Trump for the
announcement.
“We want Americans to be the
first to benefit from this new digital
revolution,” Pai said.
networks due to concerns that it
might enable Chinese government
spying, which Huawei denies. The
U.S. has pushed its allies to do the
same, with mixed results. Huawei
is the world’s largest maker of such
equipment.
FCC Commissioner Jessica
Rosenworcel, a Democrat, criti-
cized the agency’s approach to 5G
Friday. She said the U.S. has not
auctioned off “midband” spectrum
that is better suited to serve rural
areas because of how far it can car-
ry signals, and that the Trump ad-
ministration’s actions on 5G have
“set us back.” She cited tariffs on
telecom equipment that have raised
costs and said the administration
has been “alienating allies” on the
5G security issue.
The FCC also said Friday that
it will be renewing an existing $2
billion broadband subsidy program,
for 10 years. It will provide about
$20.4 billion over a decade to pro-
viders, with the goal of connecting
up to 4 million rural homes and
small businesses to high-speed in-
ternet.
Stocks notched solid gains on Wall Street Friday,
erasing most of the losses the market sustained after
an uneven week of trading.
The strong finish gave the S&P 500 its third
straight weekly gain. The benchmark index is now
just under 1% from its most recent all-time high set on
September 20, reflecting the strong rebound for the
market this year after a dismal slide in December.
Banks led the gains Friday after a solid quarterly
profit report from JPMorgan Chase opened the lat-
est round of highly anticipated company earnings.
Banks have been benefiting from higher interest
rates, which allow them to book fatter profits from
making loans.
Disney surged to an all-time high after it an-
nounced plans to offer its own video streaming ser-
vice. Disney will be going head-to-head with Netflix,
which declined.
The market was coming off a wobbly week as in-
vestors worried that the early first-quarter earnings
reports would come in even weaker than the low ex-
pectations analysts already have.

Prosecutor blocks gun law

charges against Pittsburgh mayor
Mayor and city council
members passed gun
restrictions after a mass
shooting at Pittsburgh’s
Tree of Life Synagogue that
killed 11 worshippers
By RAMESH SANTANAM
and MICHAEL RUBINK AM
The Associated Press
PIT TSBURGH — A prosecutor re-
fused to approve criminal charges Fri-
day against Pittsburgh’s mayor and six
City Council members over the passage
of firearms restrictions that gun rights
advocates say are blatant and deliberate
violations of state law.
Seven city residents tried to file pri-
vate criminal complaints against Demo-
cratic Mayor Bill Peduto, who signed the
legislation into law this week, and coun-
cil members who voted to approve the
bills. The complaints charge the mayor
and council with official oppression and
other counts.
Pennsylvania law allows citizens to
file criminal charges, subject to approv-
al by the district attorney. The office of
Democratic Allegheny County District
Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. refused
to accept the residents’ complaints Fri-
day, saying prosecutors would not weigh
criminal charges against the mayor and
council until the new gun laws begin
to take effect in about two months and
someone is cited for violating them.
“We will consider a private complaint
if somebody is aggrieved by the law,”
Zappala’s spokesman, Mike Manko, told
the residents Friday.
“Why do I have to be arrested? Why
do I have to fall on a sword? Now, I have
a criminal record,” replied Tony Golem-
biewski, one of the residents who tried to
file charges.
The gun restrictions were passed af-
ter a mass shooting at Pittsburgh’s Tree
of Life Synagogue that killed 11 worship-
pers. Gun rights advocates are suing to
get the laws overturned, noting Penn-
sylvania law forbids municipalities from
regulating the ownership or possession
of firearms and ammunition. Courts
have thrown out previous municipal at-
tempts at regulation.
The Pittsburgh legislation restricts
military-style assault weapons like the
AR-15 rifle authorities say was used in

Fisher-Price recalls sleepers

after more than 30 babies died
Recall covers
about 4.7M Rock
‘n Play sleepers
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Fish-
er-Price recalled nearly 5
million infant sleepers on
Friday after more than 30
babies died in them over a
10-year period.
The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commis-
sion said anyone who
bought a Fisher-Price
Rock ‘n Play sleeper
should stop using it right
away and contact Fish-
er-Price for a refund or
voucher. The sleepers,
which are used to put ba-
bies to sleep, are soft pad-
ded cradles that vibrate.
Fisher-Price and the
CPSC said the deaths oc-
curred after infants rolled
over from their backs to
their stomachs or sides
while unrestrained, but
did not specify how they
died. In an article this
week, Consumer Reports
found that some of the
infants died from suffoca-
tion.
A safety warning was
issued last week, but The
American Academy of
Pediatrics urged Fish-
er-Price and the CPSC to
recall the sleepers, call-
ing them “deadly.”
In a statement Friday,
Fisher-Price said that it
stood by the safety of its
products and said it is-
sued the voluntary recall
“due to reported incidents
in which the product was
used contrary to the safe-
ty warnings and instruc-
tions.”
The recall covers
about 4.7 million sleepers,
which sold for between
$40 and $149 since 2009.

Group asks gov’t to probe Nissan automatic emergency braking

The Associated Press
DETROIT — A U.S.
auto safety group wants
the government to inves-
tigate automatic emer-
gency braking on some
Nissan Rogue SUVs, al-
leging that the safety fea-
ture makes the vehicles
brake even when there’s
no emergency.
The nonprofit Center
for Auto Safety filed a pe-
tition with the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration seeking
the probe. The group says
about 675,000 Rogues
from the 2017 and 2018
model years should be re-
called.
Nissan says it has no-
tified all customers of a
software update that im-
proves performance of
the automated braking
system. But the center
says the campaigns don’t
acknowledge the serious-
ness of the safety problem
and give owners little in-
centive to get the SUVs
fixed.
In a letter posted Fri-
day by the government,
center Executive Director
Jason Levine says it found
87 complaints about un-
intended braking in the
safety administration’s
database. “Many com-
plaints indicate that brak-
ing is abrupt or forceful,
endangering both the
Rogue occupants as well
as people in the vehicles
nearby who are forced
to avoid a collision with
a suddenly stopped vehi-
cle,” the letter says.
Automatic emergency
braking uses cameras and
radar to slow or stop vehi-
cles when drivers don’t
take action. The technol-
ogy has great potential to
save lives, but it also can
develop glitches. Twenty
automakers representing
99 percent of U.S. new-car
sales signed a voluntary
agreement with the gov-
ernment to make the fea-
ture standard on all light
vehicles by Sept. 1, 2022.

Fighting back against Parkinson’s disease

YMCA Adaptive Fitness Coordinator Salem Gibson, center, gives pointers to Rick Corey, right, and Gina Kim, left, at a station in the Rock Steady Boxing

T

“Convergence” will
feature the artwork of
five graduating art majors in the
Mississippi University for Wom-

The exhibition reception will be
Thursday, April 25 from 5-7 p.m.
The artists, whose varied
artwork will converge for this
special exhibition, are Kaylee
Ashford, Ladanna Jones, Pauline
Pimolle, Natalie Roper and
Haley Sipes.
The sole graphic designer in
the exhibition is Ashford, from
Columbus. As an artist going

fonts and commonly uses of
color and illustrations.
Kossuth native Jones will
complete her Bachelor of Fine
Arts in art education this May.
While she is trained in a wide
variety of media for her teaching
that depict human faces sur-

imagery. Her art explores the
possibilities of what lies within
the human unconscious mind.
Pimolle, originally from
Marseille, France, will feature
photographs of portraits and
still lifes. Her work synthesizes
19th-century photographic pro-
cesses, such as cyanotypes and
tintypes, and camera equipment
with a 21st-century sensibility.
The effect is simultaneously

Forum recordings, along
with corresponding tran-

MSU Libraries pro-

provides access to digital
collections that support
teaching, service and
research by providing
greater access to rare
holdings. These include
sheet music, diaries,
correspondence, ledgers,
photographs, transcripts,
publications and other
materials, all through the
MSU Libraries’ Digital
Collections.
A $25,000 digitization
Risk program provided
funds for 269 original
Citizens’ Council Forum
shows to be preserved and
made available online.
The audio recordings
are accompanied by tran-
scripts, provided by MSU
doctoral graduate and
Millsaps College Associ-
ate Professor of History
Stephanie Rolph, who
transcribed the Forum
recordings as part of her
dissertation and donated
them to MSU Special Col-
lections upon completion
of her research. Rolph also
published a book on the
Citizens’ Council last year
titled “Resisting Equality:
The Citizens’ Council,
1954-1989” (LSU Press).
MSU Libraries is a
of which the Citizens’
Council played a powerful
role. The recordings span
1957-1966 and cover a
variety of topics, includ-
ing the Supreme Court,
education, the Civil Rights
and Voting Rights acts,
and communism.
According to Univer-
sity Archivist Jessica
Perkins Smith, who wrote
the CLIR grant and has
worked extensively with
the collection, “Re-
searchers have used the
transcripts of the Forum
recordings frequently
over the years. The
tapes themselves were in
danger of being lost due
to their age and condition.
Digitizing the recordings
provides the benefit of
voices of segregationist
politicians and Citizens’
Council leaders. We are
pleased to be able to in-
crease accessibility of our
collections to patrons who
may not be able to travel
to Mississippi State.”

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: I am a stay-
at-home mom to three
wonderful little girls. I ap-
preciate my husband working so
I can do this, but I’m very lonely.
I have no real friends.
I help my mom with all her
medical needs, making appoint-
ments and getting her to them.
I also help my brother with his
three kids. I help everyone with
everything.
In addition to running my
home and taking care of our
three children, I do everything
for my husband. All he has to do Dear Abby
when he comes home from work
is eat and take a shower.
I haven’t been anywhere by myself in a
very long time. We haven’t had a date night,
either. Finding a baby sitter isn’t easy. Mom
can’t watch the kids, and my
grandparents do it only when I
need to take her to the doctor’s
without the baby. I take the baby
everywhere with me.
Please give me some advice
on making time for myself and my
marriage. I just need someone
to be on MY side. — LONELIEST
MOM IN ILLINOIS
DEAR MOM: I’m on your
side. You have been so helpful
to everyone else that you have
forgotten how to take care of
yourself. Tell your husband what
you need — a date night with
him every two weeks and a day
or two to take care of yourself
each month. It will do wonders for your spirits.
When you do, ask your brother to watch your
children for you. If he refuses, hiring someone
to baby-sit would be money well spent.
The problem with being a martyr is that
people die doing it, so recognize it’s time to
stand up for yourself. If you don’t, by now you
should understand that nobody will do it for
you.
DEAR ABBY: My father was married before
he met my mother and had five wonderful
children during his previous marriage. When
my half-brother got married two years ago, he
invited our father, my mother and me to his
wedding. My parents declined because they
didn’t want to see my father’s ex-wife (my
half-brother’s mother). I went because, quite
frankly, I have no dog in that fight.
I recently got word that my half-sister is
getting married in June and plans on inviting
our father and my mother as well. Due to their
absence at my half-brother’s wedding, my
parents have decided they shouldn’t go to any
of my half-siblings’ weddings in order to be fair
to everyone.
Although I’m upset that they’re refusing to
attend, I can’t help but wonder what I should
do when I get married. Because they’re my
parents and I love them, I’d like them to come.
But I also want to be sensitive to my half-sib-
lings’ thoughts and feelings. I don’t want them
to feel as if their father and stepmother love
me more than they love them. What should I
do? — TROUBLED IN KENTUCKY
DEAR TROUBLED: When the time comes,
talk to your half-siblings about your concerns
and the fact that your parents did not come to
their weddings. Explain that they were absent
because they were uncomfortable about
encountering their mother. I’m sure it won’t
surprise them. Tell them you would love to
have them with you on that special day. But
if they refuse out of loyalty to their mother,
do not be surprised or regard it as a personal
rejection.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 14).
You’ll do what you set out to do.
It’s among your most successful
years! Note that the higher you fly
the more important it will be to con-
stantly question yourself. Surround
yourself with people who are strong
enough to give you the truth, and
provide the psychological safety
they need to be able to do so. Scor-
pio and Virgo adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 5, 40, 3, 17 and 44.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’re full of ideas, and they’re not
just coming from your brain; your
heart, stomach and entire body
will generate wisdom worth acting
on today, often impulsively. Trust
yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Get
organized. Organization just might
be the stuff of life. From the order
of your DNA to the order of your
schedule, how things are organized
will define, build, change, bind or
free you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
When you’re stuck, change of any
sort is improvement. Even if all you
change are your shoes or the order
in which you do things, today that
will be enough to help you wiggle
free from perceptive limits.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ad-
mirers of your work will tell you that
you should market yourself widely
-- flattering, yet you needn’t trouble
yourself with it now. As you further
develop your talent, it will speak for
itself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Meeting
in restaurants is fun, but you never
really know a person until you see
that person in different settings,
the most enlightening being the
setting of home base.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If
there’s one thing you can do to
improve your life, business and
relationships, it’s to see things from
another person’s point of view. This
ability is the key that opens doors
in every area of your life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
will accomplish what you couldn’t
quite finish yesterday. The timing
wasn’t right, or you just weren’t
comfortable enough to open your
mind to the possibilities.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
What you thought would be a quick
project is turning into a real epic
novel of a venture. Still, this is
doable. Even if you “hit the wall,”
it’s not going to stop you. You’re
like the Hulk. Walls are meant for
breaking through.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll use your talent for
matching people with fortuitous
opportunities. This is so much fun
for you, takes almost no effort at
all and pays you later in delight and
other currencies.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Being bored is its own kind of
terrible, yet there’s something great
about it, as you are seldom more
creative than you are just after
being truly, deeply and profoundly
bored.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Any sort of progress feels good,
whether it’s sweeping a floor or
advancing a personal or business
endeavor. The goal itself doesn’t
really matter as much as the feeling
of forward momentum.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
All the money looks alike, but it
doesn’t feel the same. Money you
earn seems somehow more valu-
able than money you get in other
ways, and you’ll spend it accord-
ingly.

Rock Steady
Continued from Page 1C
Salem Gibson is the
YMCA’s Adaptive Fitness
coordinator. Adaptive
fitness specialists
develop physical fitness
programs for people
with specific needs. He
traveled to Rock Steady
Boxing headquarters in
Indianapolis, Indiana, last
spring for certification in
the program for individu-
als with Parkinson’s. (He
also holds a bachelor’s
degree in
and exercise science,
and is certified as a move-
ment disorder specialist.)
Rock Steady exercises
are largely adapted from
boxing drills that focus
on gross motor skills, bal-
ance, flexibility, muscular
endurance, hand-eye co-
ordination and strength.
“We’re not curing
anything,” Gibson made
clear. “What we’re doing
is creating a lifestyle that
delays the symptoms
and, in the long run,
creates empowerment to
continue to choose what
they want to do and have
a body that can support
it.”
■■■
Kim was diagnosed
with Parkinson’s disease
in 2011, in her very early
50s. She lived in Atlanta
at the time and quickly
got into an exercise
program that included
boxing. When she and
her husband moved to
Columbus about two
years ago, it was import-
ant to Kim to be able to
continue the regimen.
The couple met with Y
staff about instituting a
boxing class locally.
“It’s a research-based
program, and it’s been
determined that two and
a half hours of vigorous
exercise per week can
help slow the progression
and help manage symp-
toms,” she said, citing a
Parkinson’s Outcomes
Project report.
Rock Steady partic-
ipant Al Broadbent of
Millport, Alabama, can
attest to it. When he
began commuting to
Columbus several times a
week for adaptive fitness
classes, he had to use a
cane. Now he’s moving
freely without a cane
from station to station in
the boxing room.
Broadbent and several
other Rock Steady boxers
also take advantage of
the Y’s Adaptive H2O, a
class held in heated water
to focus on large and fine
motor skills, balance and
hand-eye coordination;
Pedal Power, which uses
stationary floor pedals;
and PWR!Moves, an
exercise class designed
to improve symptoms for
those with Parkinson’s
and other limited mobili-
ty issues.
“We also have little
seminars or health talks
about certain topics, for
family members as well
as (class members),”
explained Gibson. “And
we’ve started a new Adap-
tive Walking Club that
gets together on Fridays
to walk outside, to kind of
give us a little elevation
change, get away from
familiar surroundings,
focus on how to step, not
fall, recognize cracks ... ”
The range of classes
makes “a world of differ-
ence” said Broadbent,
who was diagnosed in
2010. “If you ever stop,
Parkinson’s catches up
with you,” he said. “And
the staff treats you like
family; they’re concerned
for you.”
Kim Westmoreland is
one of several volunteers
who assist with Rock
Steady classes, which
meet twice weekly.
“It’s been even better
for me than for them,”
she said of the rewarding
experience.
Gibson added, “We
get to see some amazing
results. It pulls on your
heartstrings. I’ve had
people that have been
coming for maybe three
months with a cane, and
then one day they no
longer need the cane. I’ve
had guys tell me, ‘I can
drive again.’”
Nelson has been
taking classes since
early January. She credits
fellow church members
Norman Ford and Toby
Lott for telling her about
them.
“It was a God thing
that I saw them together
that morning at church
because I was at a loss
about what to do to be
the best I can be. Now
(the Y) has become my
next favorite place to be
besides my house. I come
to five or six Parkinson’s
classes every week and
love them all.
“Has my tremor gone
away? No. But I can tell
my balance is better.
I could fall over a pair
of socks on the floor
before.” The classes, she
said, challenge her to
use her brain and body
together. “We can’t afford
to baby ourselves.”
Parkinson’s disease
doesn’t quit. So Rock
Steady Boxing and the
Chris McDill/Special to The Dispatch
Salem Gibson, standing, leads the Rock Steady Boxing class in a strength and cognition exercise. Participants
take turns holding a 10-pound weight above their heads while each person answers a question posed to the group.
Y’s other adaptive fitness
programs are ongoing,
a continuing resource
for all the participants.
Workouts can be adapted
to capabilities.
“One of the coolest
things is, because the Y
is what it is, we knew it
was important to be able
to do it for free,” Gibson
said. “If you’re a member
of the Y, you have access
to all the adaptive class-
es.” Community support
and grants make the
programs possible.

boomed and everyone
followed instructions to
lift their gloved hands
high in the air, an iconic
Rocky Balboa silver
screen move. From the
beginning, the class pace
had been steady and chal-
lenging. When the hour
was up, everyone had
earned the satisfaction of
a good workout — anoth-
er “round” in their favor
in the match against a
degenerative disease.
“We are so fortunate
and blessed to have this
program at the Y,” said
Kim, after the class. “It
has made a huge impact
on the people that were
in that room today. When
I leave, I feel like I have
fought my best and that
I’ve done what I can
today to battle against
Parkinson’s. It’s a very
empowering feeling.”
