State approves ratings for special
schools over complaints
JACKSON — Mississippi’s state
Board of Education on Thursday ap-
proved A-to-F school ratings for a school
district, plus four schools that teach spe-
cial populations, despite complaints that
the rating system treats them unfairly.
Officials told the board Thursday that
under their interpretation of state and
federal laws, the state must rate those
schools using the same tests and stan-
dards as other schools. The board had
delayed action on those schools in Octo-
ber when it approved grades for others.
Corinth got a C overall and its high
school was rated F. However, other mea-
sures, such as ACT scores and gradua-
tion rates, suggest the district performs
like higher-rated districts.
“We do not believe it is an accurate re-
flection of the achievement and growth
of our schools,” said Superintendent
Lee Childress. His district focuses on
preparing students for the international
Cambridge exams and not Mississippi’s
state tests.
The state also gave failing marks to
the Mississippi School for the Blind,
Mississippi School for the Deaf, and
schools in the Harrison County and Pas-
cagoula-Gautier districts that serve only
special education students.
None of those special schools had
ever been rated before, and the state had
once agreed to develop an alternative
rating system for Corinth, which uses a
special curriculum and tests. However,
state Chief Accountability Officer Paula
Vanderford said the state determined in
April that it would be illegal for the state
to continue with either policy.
“There are no exclusions in state
or federal law for assigning grades to
schools that have special populations,”
she said.
State school board member Johnny
Franklin of Bolton, the only board mem-
ber who voted against the decision, said
it’s punitive both to schools that seek to
be innovative and that are already chal-
lenged with students who are blind, deaf
or have severe disabilities.
“They’ve got enough challenges as it
is without us going and handing another
thing around their neck, and that’s an F,”
Franklin said.
Childress disputes the state’s legal
interpretation. He notes that the waiver
granted to Corinth to allow it to adopt a
different curriculum, a modified year-
round schedule and other changes is the
same law the state cited in refusing to
develop an alternative assessment. And
in some other states under the current
Every Student Succeeds Act, individual
school districts are choosing among dif-
ferent types of tests.
Corinth has earlier gone to court to
try to block the grade, but Childress
said it was likely the local school board
would choose to appeal to the state Com-
mission on School Accreditation. Turn-
ing first to such administrative remedies
could give Corinth better grounds in a
later court appeal.
Childress said he hoped the district
and state could resume work on getting
the Cambridge exams approved, but
said the district is taking measures to
better prepare students for state tests.
He said the low grades won’t undermine
Cornith’s efforts to “do school different-
ly.”
“We do not think it will undermine it
in any way,” he said. “Our commitment
to Cambridge remains strong.”
Hospital fires worker who wore
racist shirt to vote
OLIVE BRANCH — A hospital in
Tennessee has fired a worker who was
photographed wearing a racist shirt
while voting in Mississippi.
News outlets report that Regional
One Health in Memphis says its investi-
gation into the image shared online led
to the man being fired. A picture of the
man shows him at a polling place wear-
ing a shirt that has a Confederate flag
with a noose in the center and the words
“Mississippi Justice.”
The hospital’s statement didn’t iden-
tify the man, but he has been identified
online as a registered nurse, Clayton
John Hickey.
Hickey is a former Memphis police
officer who resigned in 2010 when found
with a 17-year-old girl and open contain-
ers of alcohol in his car. News outlets
say attempts to contact him have been
unsuccessful.
Mayor says city needs more public
security cameras
VICKSBURG — A mayor in Missis-
sippi says his city needs more public se-
curity cameras.
The Vicksburg Post reports the push
for more cameras by Mayor George
Flaggs Jr. follows the discovery of what
city officials say was obscene graffiti on
downtown parking garages. Flaggs said
before Monday’s meeting of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen that he doesn’t
care what it will cost to outfit the city
with recording devices. Flaggs and Po-
lice Chief Milton Moore have access to
the captured video.
The board in 2017 approved the pur-
chase and installation of cameras in
Vicksburg and parking garages to help

pay the rent, so we would
have to stay with our
grandmother, who was a
safety net for us.”
Her mother recog-
nized the way out of
poverty was through
education and instilled
that belief into her young
daughters.
Russo, the eldest sib-
ling, took it to heart. She
was a standout student
at Wesson Attendance
Center in Copiah County,
earning a full scholarship
to The W.
“What poverty taught
me was resilience,” Rus-
so said. “You have to keep
fighting, and the way you
do that is through edu-
cation. It also taught me
empathy. Poverty isn’t
a choice. It’s a circum-
stance.”
After graduating from
The W with a degree
in microbiology, Russo
earned her master’s in
epidemiology at the Uni-
versity of Alabama-Bir-
mingham, then her doc-
torate in health policy at
George Washington Uni-
versity.
She worked in the
public health policy in
the D.C. area until 2014,
when her husband, Brian,
left the U.S. Navy after 17
years to attend law school
in Ohio. The Russos have
three children, ages 13,
11 and 2.
Russo said it was her
experience in public
health policy that pro-
pelled her into politics.
“Ohio was one of the
first states to expand
Medicaid and I knew
from my work in the field
how important that is,”
she said. “Even though
it has been extremely
successful here in Ohio,
there was talk here about
the next administration
getting rid of it. I sort of
looked around. Very few
people have knowledge
of health policy, which
is something I’ve been
working on all my career.
I felt like I had to get in-
volved.”
Staying in touch
Russo gained 58 per-
cent of the vote to defeat
her Republican opponent
for the open seat in the
Legislature. As the re-
sults came in Tuesday,
Russo said she was on the
phone with many of her
old friends from The W.
“I’ve built some life-
long friends at The W,”
she said. “So many of
my core group of friends
have been involved in the
campaign from afar. They
were all on the phone with
me Tuesday night.”
Included in that circle
is MUW Professor Brid-
get Smith Pieschel.
“She was one of my
favorites,” Russo said.
“She taught me honors
English.”
Pieschel said she
makes an effort to keep
up with all her former stu-
dents, primarily through
social media. Russo is one
of those former students
who has always stood out,
she said.
“She was a combination
of all the things that make
a memorable college stu-
dent,” Pieschel said. “She
was very active on cam-
pus. She was a top scholar
and she was particularly
energetic. I’m sure every-
body who was here when
she was remembers her.
It doesn’t seem like she
has changed much. Even
then, she was interested
in policies that had to do
with health care. So, no,
I’m not surprised at all
that she would do this.”
Although it’s been 20
years since she left The
W, those memories are
warm, the lessons she
learned still relevant.
“The W was a big part
of my life,” Russo said. “It
really did help shape the
person I am today.”

The war for the soul of America
The war
in Washing-
ton will not
end until the
presidency of
Donald Trump
ends. Every-
one seems
to sense that
now.
This is a
fight to the
finish. Patrick Buchanan
A postelec-
tion truce
that began with Trump congratulating
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
— “I give her a great deal of credit for
what she’s done and what she’s ac-
complished” — was ancient history by
nightfall.
With the forced resignation of
Attorney General Jeff Sessions and
his replacement by his chief of staff,
Matthew Whitaker, the long-anticipat-
ed confrontation with Robert Mueller
appears at hand.
Sessions had recused himself
from the oversight role of the special
counsel’s investigation into Russiagate.
Whitaker has definitely not.
Before joining Justice, he said that
the Mueller probe was overreaching,
going places it had no authority to go,
and that it could be leashed by a new
attorney general and starved of funds
until it passes away.
Whitaker was not chosen to be
merely a place holder until a new AG
is confirmed. He was picked so he can
get the job done.
And about time.
For two years, Trump has been
under a cloud of unproven allegations
and suspicion that he and top cam-
paign officials colluded with Vladimir
Putin’s Russia to thieve and publish the
emails of the Clinton campaign and the
Democratic National Committee.
It is past time for Mueller to prove
these charges or concede he has a
busted flush, wrap up his investigation
and go home.
And now, in T.S. Eliot’s words,
Trump appears to have found “the
strength to force the moment to its

Preparation imperative when next pandemic hits
When you stop and allow it to sink
in, the scope of the 1918 Spanish flu
pandemic is simply staggering.
Striking in the waning days of World
War I, the virus sickened 500 million
people around the world and killed 50
million, as the Daily Journal’s Michae-
la Gibson Morris reported in a story
reflecting upon the 100th anniversary
of the devastating outbreak.
The 1918 pandemic killed an estimat-
ed 675,000 Americans. To put its impact
in perspective:
HIV killed 448,060 Americans be-
tween 1981 and 2000.
World War II killed 418,500 Ameri-
cans.
The 1968 H3N2 flu pandemic killed
crisis.”
His attitude toward Mueller’s probe
is taking on the aspect of Andrew Jack-
son’s attitude toward Nicholas Biddle’s
Second Bank of the United States: It’s
“trying to kill me, but I will kill it.”
Trump has been warned by congres-
sional Democrats that if he in any way
impedes the work of Mueller’s office,
he risks impeachment.
Well, let’s find out.
If the House Judiciary Committee
of incoming chairman Jerrold Nadler
wishes to impeach Trump for forcing
Mueller to fish or cut bait, Trump’s
allies should broaden the debate to the
real motivation here of the defeated
establishment: It detests the man the
American people chose to lead their
country and thus wants to use its po-
litical and cultural power to effect his
removal.
Even before news of Sessions’
departure hit Wednesday, Trump was
subjected to an antifa-style hassling by
the White House press corps.
One reporter berated the president
100,000 Americans.
The 2017-18 flu outbreak killed
80,000 to 90,000 Americans.
A century after the outbreak, it’s
important to be knowledgeable about a
global event that caused so much havoc.
It’s also important to take and use any
lessons that are still applicable today.
That starts with taking the flu seri-
ously. Even with advances in modern
medicine, the world remains vulnerable
— particularly in a tightly connected
society in which it is much more condu-
cive for a disease to spread.
National and international public
health agencies put a lot of effort into
monitoring seasonal flu outbreaks and
watching for the emergence of new flu

The
and refused to surrender the micro-
phone. Others shouted support for
his antics. A third demanded to know
whether Trump’s admission that he’s a
“nationalist” would give aid and com-
fort to “white nationalists.”
By picking up the credentials of
CNN’s Jim Acosta and booting him out
of the White House, Trump has set a
good precedent.
Freedom of the press does not mean
guaranteed immunity of the press
from the same kind of abuse the press
directs at the president.
John F. Kennedy was beloved by the
media elite. Yet JFK canceled all White
House subscriptions to the New York
Herald Tribune and called the pub-
lisher of The New York Times to get
him to pull reporter David Halberstam
out of Vietnam for undermining U.S.
morale in a war in which Green Berets
were dying.
Some journalists have become
Trump haters with press passes. And
Trump is right to speak truth to main-
stream media power and to accord to
viruses that could spark a pandemic.
Flu shots can help against seasonal
flu outbreaks by both reducing the risk
of getting infected and reducing the
severity of the sickness if one does get
infected.
By its definition, however, a pan-
demic flu involves a new strain of the
virus that the population has little or no
immunity against. In such a case, the
flu shot won’t be much help; at least not
immediately.
That’s when healthy habits and an
understanding of how the flu spreads
can help slow its momentum.
People with the flu can spread it to
others from about six feet away, which
is why it is so important for those

the chronically hostile press the same
access to the White House to which
Robert De Niro is entitled. Since the
days of John Adams, the White House
has been the president’s house, not the
press’s house.
Pelosi appears the favorite to return
as speaker of the House. But she may
find her coming days in the post she
loves to be less-than-happy times.
Some of her incoming committee
chairs — namely, Adam Schiff, Maxine
Waters and Elijah Cummings — seem
less interested in legislative compro-
mises than in rummaging through
White House files for documents to
damage the president, starting with
his tax returns.
To a world watching with fascination
this death struggle convulsing our
capital, one wonders how attractive
American democracy appears.
And just how much division can this
democracy stand?
We know what the left thinks of
Trump’s “base.”
Hillary Clinton told us. Half his
supporters, she said, are a “basket of
deplorables” who are “racist, sexist,
homophobic, xenophobic, Islamopho-
bic — you name it.” Lately, America’s
populist right has been called fascist
and neo-Nazi.
How can the left “unite” with people
like that? Why should the left not try
to drive such “racists” out of power by
any means necessary?
This is the thinking that bred antifa.
As for those on the right — as they
watch the left disparage the old heroes,
tear down their monuments, purge
Christianity from their public schools
— they have come to conclude that
their enemies are at root anti-Christian
and anti-American.
How do we unify a nation where the
opposing camps believe this?
What the Trump-establishment war
is about is the soul of America, a war in
which a compromise on principle can
be seen as a betrayal.

who are sick to stay home. Practicing
good cough etiquette by coughing or
sneezing into an elbow or a tissue also
helps. Washing your hands when you
get home from a public place is a smart
strategy, too.
“There needs to be an ongoing
education about how people can protect
themselves,” said Dr. Bhagyashiri
Navalkele, infectious disease specialist
at University of Mississippi Medical
Center.
Public health experts warn that it’s
not a question of if a pandemic flu will
come again, it’s when.
The more prepared we can be, the
better we can mitigate its impact.

Australian police say
stabbing attack linked
to terrorism
SYDNEY — A
knife-wielding man
stabbed three people, one
fatally, in Australia’s sec-
ond-largest city on Friday
in an attack police linked
to terrorism.
The attack during
the afternoon rush hour
brought central Mel-
bourne to a standstill.
Hundreds of people
watched from behind bar-
ricades as police tried to
apprehend the attacker.
Police said the man
got out of a pickup truck,
which then caught fire,
and attacked three by-
standers with a knife. He
also attempted to attack
police who arrived on the
scene before being shot in
the chest by an officer.
The suspect died later
at a hospital. One of the
victims also died, while
the two others were hospi-
talized.
Police said the attack-
er’s vehicle contained sev-
eral barbecue gas cylin-
ders in the back. A bomb
squad rendered them safe
without any exploding.

Austin said they “never in a mil-
lion years” would have imagined
being a part of the show. That led
to some nerves as filming began,
which quickly gave way to having
fun.
“We’re not personalities,” Austin
said. “We’re regular people and
you don’t want to disappoint these
people who have seen something
in you. So day one, at the begin-
ning, was terrifying. But by the end
of the day, we were having a blast.”
Amanda said it’s been a great
family experience, and
“It’s been really fun to go
behind the scenes and see how a
show like this is made,” she said.
“That’s the world a lot of us don’t
know about—what’s on the other
side of the TV shows we watch.”
Watch party set
Starkville Main Street, in col-
laboration with Southern Tradition
Tailgate, will host a watch party
at Fire Station Park on Lampkin
Street for the show’s premiere.
The watch party is scheduled
for noon to 2 p.m. Sunday. Greater
Starkville Development Partner-
ship Interim CEO Jennifer Prather
said it will include cheese fries
from Bin 612, as well as popcorn
and hot chocolate.
She said people are encouraged
to bring blankets or picnic chairs.
“People have perceptions and
ideas in their mind of what small
town U.S.A. and the South and
Mississippi is,” Prather said. “It’s
such a great opportunity for our
area to be put in front of millions
of viewers. It’s a great marketing
opportunity for the city and the
state itself, because it makes us
be a place that piques people’s
interest that they may want to visit
or even locate to.
“We know we have a great qual-
ity of life and a wonderful commu-
nity,” she added. “It gives us an
unprecedented chance to share
that with the world.”

episodes of the show based on how
the pilot performs. For those who
don’t go to the watch party, she
said it’s important to get as many
televisions tuned in as possible.
“It depends on how many peo-
ple are watching and engaged,”
she said. “That’s the big part we
want to emphasize in our commu-
nity — everyone turn on your TV,
your DVR. Every screen counts.”
Austin said the show, no matter
the result, has been a great chance
to display Starkville.
“Starkville is an incredible
place, and if we can show just the
people of Starkville, the character
of Starkville — the character of
Mississippi and the people, talk
about a win for us,” Austin said.
“It is so great to have a little bit of
exposure on this magical town.”
Renovations and filming
Amanda said HGTV put out a
casting call for people with homes
to renovate and selected one on
Worley Street.
The home had a reputation in
Starkville as a “hoarder’s house,”
Amanda said.
“For years, there was a couple
that lived there that just had ac-
cumulated a lot of stuff,” she said.
“When the (new) homeowners
bought it from them, every room
was just full to the ceiling with
stuff. You can imagine what the
weight of that much stuff in every
Courtesy photo
room did to the home. It really was
not very well taken care of.
“There was a lot of work to be
done,” she continued. “There was
foundation work to be done. It was
a major renovation of this house. It
was in bad shape, for sure.”
The entire filming process took
eight weeks — starting in mid-
March and ending around the end
of May — with only six weeks to
renovate the home.
Amanda said it’s “unheard of”
to finish a project with that much
work so quickly, and she cred-
ited the contractors, including
Starkville’s Byrum Construction,
for putting in tireless work to make
the renovations happen. She said
the various phases of renovation
occurred simultaneously to expe-
dite the process.
Austin also credited the home-
owners, MSU employees Tom and
Brooke Lammert, who decided to
renovate the home after purchas-
ing it.
“I thought it was something that
could easily take six months to a
year and we had to get this tackled
in six weeks,” Austin said. “Nine-
ty-five percent of people would’ve
knocked that house to the ground.
But Brooke and Tom saw some-
thing. They loved that home and
wanted to make that their family
home. Once we saw how excited
they were about the project, we
really got fired up, and I could not
be more proud of the end result.”

Miranda Carrasco dreamed
about playing soccer in the

that dream a

Carrasco enroll early

It didn’t matter to her that

“I worked really hard in
the months before I came
here in the spring. I knew I
was going to come into the
SEC, and it has always been
my dream to play in the SEC,
so now that I am here I want
to expand my dream and
do many wondrous things I
know I can do and I am ca-

Carrasco has done that
in what has been a historic
season for the MSU women’s
soccer program. At 4 p.m.
Friday, MSU (9-6-2) will play
host to Lipscomb (14-4-2) in
the first round of the MSU
Soccer Field. The match will
be MSU’s first appearance in
the NCAA tournament.
Carrasco is part of a de-

16 goals for a program that
earned its second-consecu-

and Robicheaux (1,507) have
played more minutes than
Carrasco (1,488).

DEFENSE HELPS DELIVER
LIONS TO STATE TITLE GAME
BY SCOTT WALTERS
swalters@cdispatch.com
When the season started, East Mississip-
pi Community College sophomore defensive
back JaQuez Akins knew he would be on a
better defense.
Still, the amount of improvement might be
a little overwhelming for the veteran Lions.
“This team has won championships with
a great defense,” Akins said.
“We were a little disappoint-
ed last season, even though
we won the (national) cham-
pionship. The defense was
not up to the standard for
around here. We had a hard
time stopping elite players on
Akins a consistent basis. This year
has been our chance to make
up for that.”
EMCC has held five opponents to seven
points or less, and four to less than 100 yards
of offense. Another defensive masterpiece
will be the expectation when No. 1 EMCC
(10-0) faces No. 4 Jones College (9-1) for the
Mississippi Association of Community and
Junior Colleges (MACJC) State champion-
ship at 2 p.m. Saturday in Ellisville.
“During the offseason we made an effort
to make some improvements on the defen-
sive side of the ball,” EMCC coach Buddy
Stephens said. “We allocate some more out-
of-state funds on that side of the ball. We had
the coaches in place, just needed some more
depth and needed to perform better.”
This season, EMCC has accomplished
both of those goals.
The 2017 National Junior College Athletic
Association (NJCAA) national championship
squad allowed 25.1 points per game. This
season, EMCC has allowed a NJCAA-best
11.1 ppg.
“It’s all about a mind-set,” EMCC sec-
ond-year defensive coordinator Cliff Collins
said. “I think we had lost that edge with re-
cent teams. You could tell this group of soph-
omores were built a little different. We have
had those game-changing, impact players.
This year, we just have more of them.”

Collins was an assistant on EMCC squads
that won the national title in 2013 and 2014.
Those teams were built at the line with a
dominating front four.
This year’s unit has taken on a similar
makeup. The Lions lead the nation with 43
sacks and are among the national leaders in
tackles for loss with 106. Former West Point
High School standout Everitt Cunningham
leads the sack parade with 13. He also has a
team-high 19 tackles for loss.
“Playing defense has been a lot of fun with
this team this year,” Cunningham said. “It
feels like we have more speed at every posi-
tion. There comes a time in just about every
game where the other team starts to panic
and they have to do things on offense they
aren’t used to doing.”
The Lions also have forced 25 turnovers.
By comparison, the Lions had 33 sacks, 82
tackles for loss and forced 20 turnovers (in
12 games) last season.
Collins is known for a long list of team
goals for each game.
“Sometimes, a few of those things are
over the top,” Cunningham said. “We always
start out with under 100 yards and always
play for the shutout. After that, there are a lot
of other marks we try to hit.”
This week’s goal list will include the pro-
gram’s seventh state championship in 11
seasons. A year ago, EMCC beat Northwest
Mississippi C.C. 67-66 in double overtime to
win the title.
“We don’t want to experience that again
this year,” Akins said. “At least not the during-
the-game feeling. The after-the-game feel-
ing, yes we want that again.”

Play on special
team has helped
Murphy carve
out bigger role
By Brett Hudson
bhudson@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Marcus Murphy sacri-
ficed to have a chance to play even a limited
football team.
Murphy graduated early from West Point
High School and enrolled at
MSU in time to join the team
for spring practice. It gave
Murphy, who was touted as
a “athlete,” a chance to work
with and to learn from the
Bulldogs’ defensive backs.
The decision also gave
Murphy the inside track to Murphy
win a spot on special teams
that has helped him adjust to college foot-
ball.
Murphy has made an impact on special
teams, particularly on kick return, but re-
cently he has been asked to do more. The
preparation in spring practice and the regu-
lar-season special teams reps have him at a
point where No. 18 MSU can turn to him in
the secondary. With former starting nickel
back Brian Cole out for the season, MSU (6-
3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference, No. 16 Col-
lege Football Playoff) likely will turn to him
for snaps when it faces No. 1 Alabama (9-0,
6-0, No. 1) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday (WCBI).
“He’s one of those guys, the arena’s never
too big for him,” MSU defensive coordinator
Bob Shoop said. “I think he probably plays bet-
ter when the coach isn’t standing behind him,
‘Make sure you’re this, make sure you’re that.’ ”
Murphy entered MSU after playing quar-
terback and rushing for 1,856 yards and 31
touchdowns and throwing for 1,058 yards
and nine scores to lead West Point to its sec-
ond-straight Mississippi High School Activi-
ties Association (MHSAA) Class 5A State ti-
tle. The only question was where to put him.
It is common for versatile athletes of Mur-
phy’s caliber to be tested at defensive back.
Murphy found himself in good surroundings.
“I had older guys teaching me the fun-
damentals and technique because I never
really played defense in high school,” Mur-
phy said. “I’ve adapted to it, become a better
athlete and a better teammate.
“When I came in, I knew I had a chance
to play, so I came in with a clear mind-set
of coming to compete against my standard
and the standard they hold up here. I had a
mind-set to dominate. I just didn’t have the
technique right off the bat.”
As summer turned to preseason, Mur-
phy established a new goal.
“I understand the first year’s basically go-
ing to be special teams and getting adapted
to the game,” Murphy said.
Murphy’s decision to put everything into
special teams came at the right time. This
is the first season MSU has had a dedicated
special teams coordinator with no other title.
Coach Joey Jones had more time to devote to
players on special teams and saw everything
Murphy was doing.
“He just has a passion for going down
on kickoff,” Jones said. “No. 1, I think that’s
who he is, but secondly, I think he was dying
to get on the field in any way and he knew his
way to get on the field this year was through
special teams. Once he got the taste of that
blood of getting down there and making a
tackle, he wanted to get it back.”
Murphy’s first two tackles came on spe-
cial teams, and he has been disruptive when
he hasn’t made a tackle. He said he has used
those reps to help him adjust to the speed
of the college game. They also helped him
develop the confidence to know he can bring
down collegiate ballcarriers.
Shoop said a time would come when
Murphy would be called on for defensive
snaps, and that time is now. Because he en-
rolled early and started on special teams,
he’s ready to handle the workload.
“I’m still an athlete, but I don’t look at the
game from a QB’s standpoint. I have to de-
fend this guy, I have to go tackle this guy.
That’s my mind-set now,” Murphy said. “It
changed my whole awareness of the game. I
feel like a complete DB.”

Scott Espinoza-Hunter set Carrasco

Continued from Page 1B
exhibition victory against Central Missouri on
Nov. 2.
Scott has at least 18 minutes a game as a tar-
get to help her reach her goal of earning a spot
on the Southeastern Conference’s All-Defensive
Team this season. The graduation of Victoria
Vivians, Roshunda Johnson, Blair Schaefer, and
Morgan William has created an opportunity for
Scott, classmate Nyah Tate, and freshman Xaria
Wiggins to earn playing time in a variety of roles.
Scott hopes her willingness to get on the floor
and dive for loose balls and mix it up down low
— a la Dillingham, who is now a graduate assis-
tant coach for the Bulldogs — will endear her to
Schaefer and help her carve out an identity as
someone he can count on to help shut down op-
posing players.
Schaefer alluded to those qualities when he
praised Scott’s effort in the team’s Maroon-White
scrimmage last month.
“I think she is kind of starting to figure some
things out,” Schaefer said. “That’s good because
when I recruited that kid I recruited her thinking
she could our toughness player, she could be our
defensive player, she could be our hustle kid.”
Scott earned the bloody eye in that scrim-
mage. She said she got it “by playing hard, so
that is always a good accomplishment if you get
a bruise doing what you love and playing hard.”
Scott said Schaefer acknowledged the souvenirs
from her hard play after the game.
“He was like, ‘Bre, you got yourself one there,
but you got it the right way’,” Scott said. “It defi-
nitely made an impression on him the way I got
it.”
Scott scored 39 points last season (in 23
games, 5.3 minutes per game) in the Bulldogs’
program-record 37-win season and run to a sec-
ond-straight national title game. After fully recov-
ering from reconstructive shoulder surgery she
said still was an issue at times in 2017-18, she said
her challenge this season is to work hard every
day in practice to earn a spot.
“My main focus right now is defense,” Scott
said. “I know some people can’t guard as well as
others, so I have been focusing on helping my
teammates any way I can, whether it is getting
a charge, being on the backside with a drive, get-
ting a deflection, anything like that.
“Defense is one of my strong suits. That is a
way I know I can get some time if I bring energy
to the court.”

she hasn’t. At her

Then she brought up my flaws

After 10 years she divorced

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

reaction. So it’s important to
check in with yourself before
stepping one foot into conversa-
tions, environments or projects.

of the kids and
the house. Her
divorce cost
us a great deal
of money. Her
authoritative and
moody behavior
is affecting our
grandchildren.
I love my
daughter very
much and always
have. If you were
in my shoes,
Abby, what would
you do for a more
healthy and loving
relationship for
all involved? —
STILL HER DAD IN FLORIDA
DEAR DAD: I would look
back and examine all the things
I did to foster her behavior. An
example would be paying for
her divorce. Then I would stop
doing them and not resume
until she agreed to consult
a psychotherapist about her
mood swings. Don’t do it for
her or for yourself. Do it for the
sake of your grandchildren.
DEAR ABBY: Before I met
my boyfriend of eight months,
I planned a 10-day Japan vaca-
tion for next year with my best
guy friend, “J.” We have been
friends for eight years, and
have never had any romantic
interest in each other. Both of
us want to visit Japan because
it’s on our bucket list.
J and I were both single
Where am I at? What attitude
am I bringing to it?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
A buoyant mood prevails. From
here it’s easier to be resource-
ful and open to change. Any and
every thing you do to feel better
will contribute to your positive
vibes.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). The real challenge will be
in choosing what to believe.
Assessing not only if a potential
belief is correct, but also what
its natural trajectory is. Who will
you be if you believe it? Choose
beliefs that uplift and empower.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Conventional approaches to
self-improvement may leave you
when we started making plans.
Then I met my boyfriend. My
boyfriend knew from the be-
ginning that this trip was going
to happen next year. Because
the date wasn’t “set in stone”
or paid for until recently, my
boyfriend thinks I should have
called it off. He says I’m making
the trip and my friend a higher
priority than him, and his feel-
ings are hurt. He said if I was
going with a female friend he
wouldn’t care.
I still want to take the trip. I
feel canceling would be betray-
ing my friend J. Am I being a
bad girlfriend? — TRIPPED UP
IN THE EAST
DEAR TRIPPED UP: A “bad”
girlfriend? No. An indepen-
dent one, yes. You say your
boyfriend has known about
this from the beginning, so this
wasn’t a surprise to him. If he
was more secure about himself
and your relationship, he would
know that J isn’t a threat. Not
only should you take the trip,
you should also use the time
away to decide if you want a
life partner as insecure as your
boyfriend appears to be.

feeling resentful and rebellious
against the taskmaster that is
supposedly the higher version of
you. Make your overall well-be-
ing a priority instead.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
key to harnessing and maximiz-
ing your energy is to embrace
your own polarizations – the
very best and worst in you, the
most attractive and unattractive
traits and tendencies. There’s
power in loving your whole self.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Productivity and joy go hand
in hand. Even work you once
considered to be a grind will
be over quickly and done well
because of the happiness in
your approach.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23). Your brain has a way of
balancing itself and today you
can practically feel it at work,
guiding you to the next action
that will lead to your health and
well-being.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The earth is big, and yet
in the entire world there is
only one place where success
exists, and that place is inside
you. There are experiences
you’d like to have. Whether
you have them or not, you are
successful.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Because everyone has
different values, it is sometimes
difficult for people to under-
stand what matters to you and
how you want to be treated.
Today you won’t have that prob-
lem. They’ll get it right away.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). How can you get more
of the things that make you
feel good being in your body?
Because when your physical
self is happy, the rest of you will
follow in kind.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The first time you do
something, there’s excitement
and possibly trepidation over
the unknown aspects of it. The
second time you know what to
expect and can relax into the
process. The third time –- that
will truly be the charm!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Learning about things
makes you appreciate and enjoy
them better. Your urge to go
deeper into a body of knowledge
is an instinct to move toward
happiness.
