side Park.
In West Point, she
said, the club is looking
to build a facility on Fifth
Street to fill a gap in its
service area.
“That community was
last on the national regis-
ter in 2001,” Colom said.
“That was before our
organization chartered.
We’ve always had these
conversations about ful-
filling a need in the entire
Golden Triangle.”
Alexis Gregory, an
associate architecture
professor, said she works
with the BGC Golden
Triangle on projects and
thought the design cha-
rette, which began on
Nov. 7, would be a good
opportunity for the NO-
MAS students.
The students will
continue to work on bro-
chures that BGC Golden
Triangle will incorporate
into its 36 Reasons fund-
raising campaign on Nov.
22-27.
Facility goals
Thursday’s event saw
five presentations, for
which students, working
individually or in groups,
gave their ideas for the
new club. Each of the
ideas was different —
some students incorpo-
rated overhangs for buses
to drop off students, while
others incorporated mul-
tiple floors or open cen-
tral courtyard areas for
the club — but adhered to
a set of goals BGC Golden
MSU architecture student Isaac Johnson presents his design for a possible new
Boys and Girls Club design for the Golden Triangle charter to use for new West Point
and Starkville facilities. The club worked with MSU students for the past week to
create designs for what the new clubs may look like.
Triangle laid out for what
it wants to do with each
facility.
Colom said the club
hopes to have the same,
or similar, shells for the
main buildings of both
clubs, but with key differ-
ences. The club is looking
to incorporate an indoor
swimming pool at the new
Starkville location and an
outdoor playing field at
West Point. The idea, she
said, is to create different
focal points in each com-
munity that can, in turn,
serve all of the club’s stu-
dents.
“We could put a pool
in one facility for all of
the kids to use,” she said.
“Columbus has the best
gym. We could do some-
thing unique in and build
on what the community
has with flag football.”
Colom also stressed
the club wants the build-
ings to have separate
spaces for its teenagers
and younger children.
One presentation, by
senior architecture stu-
dent and NOMAS Vice
President Jordan Smith,
used a two-floor design
to separate the younger
children from the teenag-
ers. The teenagers would
be upstairs, while the
younger children would

Another presentation,

last board meet about this
shortfall.”
Hughes said he had
told the board the final
budget approved by the
district in August was
$2.5 million short of what
was needed to meet ex-
penses.
In 2017, the board
withdrew $900,000 from
its fund balance to make
the budget it submitted to
the county for approval.
“I said at the time that
you can do that for one
year, but you cannot do
it for two years,” Hughes
said. “I said in August the
only problem we might
have is when we get into
November and December
is there may be a cash-
flow issue. I put that in
writing to (superinten-

Clark back in August.”

brought back to the su-
pervisors.”
By law, school districts
are required to have a
fund balance of 7 percent
by the end of the fiscal
year on June 30, which
would have been $4.1
million based on the dis-
trict’s overall $59 million
budget. On July 13, the
district has $5,705,090
in its fund balance the
beginning of July, but the
July balance had been
adjusted to $4,488,371 in
Hughes’ November re-
port.
Board president Brian
Clark asked
Hu ghe s
why those
n u m -
bers had
changed.
“I closed
the books
in early Clark
July with
the information we had,”
Hughes said. “After I
had closed the books, we
learned that we had $1.3
million in furniture and
equipment we purchased
that had to be dispensed
in the previous fiscal
year, so that’s why the
numbers changed. Ev-
erything we had up until
a week ago showed we
had $3.4 million. It was
after that adjustment that
the cash flow was impact-
ed.”
Clark noted that the
district’s budget had
been negatively impacted
by a drop in the value of a
mill, lower than projected
tax revenue — including
$800,000 lost as a result pretty serious cuts.”

airport properties were

as well as revenue from
Steel Dynamics that will
come in $1.4 million low-
er than projected.
Even so, some board
members said if they had
known of the projected
shortfall, they might have
asked for a millage in-
crease in August, which
would have added $2.5
million to its budget.
“I might have had a
whole different outlook
on the last budget vote,”
board member Wesley
Barrett said. “I was under
the assumption we were
able to able to adequate-
ly eat the $2.5 million in
the cushion I thought we
had.”
The board voted to
transfer $1 million from
its 16th Section Inter-
est account to cover No-
vember expenses, then
passed a resolution to
seek bids for a $2.5 mil-
lion tax anticipation loan
to cover December costs,
although Hughes said the
full amount might not be
needed.
Tax anticipation loans
are not uncommon. On
Wednesday, the Lowndes
County Board of supervi-
sors accepted a bid from
Trustmark Bank for $2
million to cover county
expenses until TVA and
tax revenue is dispersed.
“Overall, I think we’re
going to be OK,” Clark
said. “It’s a short-term
problem.”
Hughes, however, told
the board the district fac-
es tough choices going
into the next fiscal year.
“Based on projections,
you’re going to be $4 mil-
lion to $5 million short,”
Hughes said. “You’re ei-
ther going to have to raise

Our View
Academic improvement isn’t ‘one size fits all’
In his novel Anna Karenina,
Leo Tolstoy observed: “Happy
families are all alike; every
unhappy family in unhappy in
its own way.”
We believe the same is true
of schools. Successful schools
have many things in common,
but struggling schools have
unique challenges.
That is why there is no
blanket remedy for rescuing
schools where performance
has fallen and why even a
school district with the best
school board and best superin-
tendent may find their efforts
frustrated.
Because each school has
its own obstacles, the answers
are most often found not at the
district level, but within the
confines of the school building.
That certainly appears to
be the case at two area schools
where the principals have initi-
ated changes that have turned
F schools into C schools in just
a year.
Columbus’ Franklin Acade-
my principal Tawan Williams
and Starkville Henderson
Ward Stewart principal Julie
Fancher charted their own
courses in reviving their
schools. What worked at
Franklin Academy may not
have worked at Henderson.
Likewise, Henderson’s recipe
for success is not quite the
same as Franklin Academy’s.
At Franklin, one of the keys
was engaging the students in
an open, honest way, helping
students understand where
they were academically and
being sure to keep those con-
versations going throughout
the year. Students at Franklin
responded, as their rapid im-
provement clearly indicates.
At Henderson, Fancher
focused much of her energy
on her teachers, who she
sensed had felt neglected and
unimportant. Much of Fanch-
er’s work involved simple
morale-building acts — daily
conversations, small gestures,
affirmation that the principal
had the teachers’ backs, that
she understood the challeng-
es.
As it was at Franklin, the
success of that strategy is
clearly reflected in student
achievement.
It is not always realistic
to expect that a school can
go from F to C or from C to
A overnight. Again, each
school has its own dynamics.
All fixes, perhaps even most,
aren’t quick fixes.
Even so, every struggling
school should be encouraged
by the story of these two
schools.
With the right leadership,
real progress is possible.

Politics & Media

Truth and its enemies:

Making Acosta
a federal case
Editor’s note: On deadline this
morning a judge ruled Jim Acos-

Question: What does CNN’s
Jim Acosta crave more than any-
thing?
If you said “attention,” go to the
head of the class. It’s a mystery
why the White House has given
Acosta way more than that. Acosta

REMEMBERING A WATER SKIING LEGEND

Photo by Anita Brown Caldwell for Catfish Alley Magazine

Bobby Miller’s home was in Columbus, but his heart was on the water. Miller, a life-long Columbus resident and
1946 graduate of Lee High, died Thursday at age 90. While friends and family knew him in many ways, Miller was
best-known in the community for his love of barefoot water skiing, a sport he took up as a teen. His devotion to
the sport (he quickly acquired the nickname “River Rat”) led him to become a founding member of the Tombigbee
Stump Jumpers,helping inspire generations of skiers. Miller continued his barefoot skiing into his 80s, marking
his birthday each year with a barefoot ski run. He was and remains an inspiration not only to water skiing fans
but to all those who learned from him is that their is no age limit for your passions in life.

Mississippi State women’s basketball
team remains unclear.
There’s no doubt senior center Teaira
McCowan will be a key ingredient in the
Bulldogs’ final product.
But Anriel Howard, Chloe Bibby, and
the rest of the Bulldogs offered a glimpse
of what coach Vic Schaefer’s team can
become in a three-plus minute stretch in
the third quarter Thursday night.

16 rebounds, five blocked shots), and Jes-
sika Carter (10 points, eight rebounds,

sible for our team and, obviously, I didn’t
have them ready to play. I thought they
made some great adjustments at half-
time. They came out in the second half
and scored 42 points (in the third quar-
ter), which is really good. We just turned
it over too much. Twenty turnovers is way
too big a number, and we have to learn to
take care of the ball better.”
The 42-point third quarter is a record
for MSU. The Bulldogs were 12-for-17
(70.6 percent) from the field and used
the 27-point difference in those 10 min-
utes to blow the game open after they led
35-28 at halftime.
MSU’s 18-0 run stretched for 3 min-
utes, 20 seconds. The Bulldogs held the
Cardinals (3-1) without a field goal for
6:29 and turned up the pressure with
a full-court defense that changed the
tempo and played a role in the Cardinals
committing 20 turnovers.

in the paint.
“She is going to be a monster,”
Schaefer said. “The good thing
for her is she has some veterans
at four (power forward) and five
(center) she can learn from right
now.”
Tale of two halves
Schaefer wasn’t pleased with his team’s first 20
minutes.
The Bulldogs committed 12 of their 20 turnovers
and shot 37.8 percent (14-for-37) in the first half in
building a 35-28 halftime lead.
“I’m extremely disappointed with the first half,”
Schaefer said. “You don’t have to look any further
than me. I’m responsible for our team and, obviously,
I didn’t have them ready to play. I thought they made
some great adjustments at halftime.”
MSU committed an uncharacteristic five turn-
overs on inbounds plays. The Bulldogs also lacked
an edge in the first half that the Cardinals capitalized
on. Senior guard Chastadie Barrs, who was named
to the watch list for the Lieberman Award (nation’s
top point guard), had 13 points and three of her
team’s 10 steals in the first half. The Cardinals had
14 steals for the game, but they shot only 25.7 per-
cent from the field (19-for-74). Barrs finished with 16
points on 7-for-25 shooting from the field.
Turnover issues
Schaefer wasn’t pleased that Anriel Howard
(five) and Chloe Bibby (four) combined for nine turn-
overs at forward.
Backup point guard Myah Taylor also committed
six turnovers in 14 points. Schaefer said the Bulldogs
were “loose” with the ball and accepted the blame for
his team’s performance.
“I was disappointed with our attention to detail,
especially in the first half. I think a lot of our turn-
overs were, simply, that we were loose with the ball,”
Schaefer said. “We really had a lack of focus, again,
my fault. I am the head coach. If they’re not focused
and ready to play, then that’s on me. I’ve got to do a
better job of getting them focused and getting them
ready to play.”
This and that
Senior guard Jordan Danberry had a career-high
15 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the field. The 10
attempts matched the high mark in a game as a Bull-
dog she set last season in a 98-50 victory against
Florida on Feb. 8, 2018. ... MSU will play host to Cop-
pin State at 2 p.m. Sunday. The Bulldogs will unveil
their national runner-up banner prior to the game. ...

against Furman on Wednesday. The game will kick

n Mississippi State will play host
to Long Beach State: At Starkville,
the No. 17 Mississippi State men’s bas-
ketball team (2-0) will wrap up its sea-
son-opening homestand at 8 p.m. Fri-
day (SEC Network) when it lays host
to Long Beach State (1-2) at Humphrey
Coliseum.
The Bulldogs have won 16 consecu-
tive non-conference home games dating
back to the 2016-17 season. Six of the last
seven and 10 of the 16 victories during
the streak have come by double digits.
Women
n Alabama 62, SMU 61, OT: At
Dallas, Senior Shaquera Wade scored
five-straight points in the extra session
to help the Crimson Tide (2-1) edge the
Mustangs (2-1) at Moody Coliseum.
Wade helped the Crimson Tide erase
a 58-57 deficit with 2:35 remaining in
overtime.
Jasmine Walker had 10 points and 10
rebounds for her third consecutive dou-
ble-double. Ariyah Copeland and Allie
Craig Cruce had nine points apiece.
Alabama led 46-34 with 3:09 left in
the third quarter, but SMU cut the defi-
cit to 47-40 at the end of the quarter.
The Mustangs held the Crimson Tide
to eight points in the final 10 minutes.

fourth quarter. SMU had a chance to
win the game, but Mackenzie Ellis’ shot
went in just after the buzzer.

a 3-pointer. She took an-
other pass from Jazzmun
Holmes (nine points, nine
assists, five rebounds)
later in the run, and then
showed good poise to use
a shot fake to entice the
defender to leave her feet
and then calmly drained a
trey to cap the run.
“If it’s open, I’m going
to take the shot,” Bibby
said. “My teammates
have faith in me that I’m
going to knock it down
with (Howard), Jessika, or
McCowan out there to get
that rebound. We are just
so big down there, (so) I
have no hesitation to pull
that. Everyone has faith
in me to do that. We need
shooters on this team be-
cause we are huge, still
getting in the gym and
still have to be better.”
Howard is showing she
wants to add her name to
the list of “shooters” on
the team. Her 3-pointer
wasn’t a part of the run,
but she did have a layup
off an inbounds pass that
she turned into a 3-point
play. The basket was part
of a 9-for-15 effort from
the field (5-for-5 from the
free-throw line) that near-
ly helped her match her
career-high of 26 points
that she set in her final
game as a member of the
Texas A&M women’s bas-
ketball program in a 90-
84 loss to Notre Dame in
the Spokane Regional on
March 24, 2018.
“In the first quarter, I
didn’t come out as aggres-
sive as I should have,” How-
ard said. “The second half,
we all did much better as
a team, but individually I
attacked a little more after
coach told me to. With (Mc-
Cowan) not being there, I
felt that I had to help out a
little more.”
McCowan picked up
her fourth foul at the 5:06
mark of the third quarter.
She didn’t return. On this
night, the Bulldogs didn’t
need her thanks to a bal-
anced scoring effort and
an energized third quar-
ter.
Lamar coach Robin Har-
mony said Howard, who
also had 13 rebounds and
three assists in 25 minutes,
gives the Bulldogs a valu-
able dimension.
“She’s a smart basket-
ball player. She doesn’t
make mistakes, and she
can score on the bounce,”
Harmony said. “She can
hit the three. She can take
it to the rack. It’s that type
of player that makes a big
difference for your team,
especially if you get your
bigs in foul trouble.”
The 3-pointer Har-
mony referenced came
at the 3-minute, 27-sec-
ond mark of the second
quarter. Howard, a grad-
uate transfer from Texas
A&M, showed good form
in draining the trey from
the top of the key to push
MSU’s lead to 31-24. It
was her first 3-pointer as
a Bulldog. Connecticut
transfer Andra Espino-
za-Hunter (seven points in
19 minutes) also had her
first 3-pointer as a Bull-
dog at the Hump. It was
her first game as a Bull-
dog in Starkville since
she learned last week the
NCAA declared her im-
mediately eligible.
Even though MSU re-
mains a work in progress,
Howard feels the Bulldogs
are learning what roles
they will play to make the
team successful.
“I have to knock down
a lot of mid-range shots so
they won’t be doubling off
of me,” Howard said. “That
will help (McCowan), too.
If they respect me, that will
make her job easier.”

No. 1 Alabama still running — just not as dominant doing it

By JOHN ZENOR
The Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala. —
The No. 1 Alabama football
team’s offense can still try to
play the neighborhood bully at
times, just not quite so effec-
tively as in recent seasons.
Tua Tagovailoa and the top-
ranked Crimson Tide’s offense
were not as high-flying as they
had been when they ran up
against two of the Southeastern
Conference’s top defenses. But
Alabama has proven it can still
overpower with force even if the
running game hasn’t been near-
ly as dominant this season.
The Crimson Tide, which
hosts The Citadel on Saturday,
turned to the running game
early and late against then-No.
Game 11
n The Citadel, 11 a.m. Saturday
(SEC Network; WJEC-FM 106.5).
18 Mississippi State to build
and hold onto a lead.
“At the end of that game and
at the end of the LSU game and
a couple others this year, it’s
one of the things we’ve gotten
better at, being able to run the
ball when they know you’re run-
ning it,” Alabama left tackle Jo-
nah Williams said. “So I think
being able to do that, we end
the game with it in our control.”
It used to be a foregone con-
clusion that defenses would
load up against Alabama’s
ground game.
There’s no doubt Alabama’s
offense is more diverse this
season, but the tailbacks have
heard the criticism about a run-
ning game that’s been the of-
fensive staple under coach Nick
Saban.
The Crimson Tide hasn’t
really run the ball much less
than last season. The yards just
aren’t coming in quite such big
chunks.
Even without a dangerous
runner like Jalen Hurts at quar-
terback, Alabama has only run
37 fewer times than through
the first 10 games last season.
But the Tide produced 33 touch-
downs and averaged 6.0 yards
per carry during that span a
year ago, compared to 25 touch-
downs and 5.2 ypc in 2018.
Alabama still has a typically
talented backfield : The veteran
Damien Harris, the versatile
Josh Jacobs and the defender
hurdling highlight-reel runner
Najee Harris.
Only Jacobs was anything
less than a five-star recruit.
But Alabama opened against
Mississippi State with two
run-heavy touchdown drives,
totaling 16 rushes and just six
passes. The Tide closed with 10
straight runs, the first six from
Jacobs and the last four from
Damien Harris.
Like Williams, Jacobs relish-
es those kind of drives.
“You know that we’re going
to run the ball and you know
they’re going to try to stop the
run, so they’re going to over-
load the box,” Jacobs said. “And
it’s just manpower. Me versus
you. That’s what we try to do,
be more physical.”
Damien Harris is trying to
become the first Alabama play-
er to rush for 1,000 yards in
three seasons, but ranks 14th in
the Southeastern Conference
with a modest 595 yards. Na-
jee Harris has run for 588 and
Jacobs has 381 yards and nine
touchdowns while also return-
ing kicks.
Jacobs insists he doesn’t
mind that much of the attention
has gone to Tagovailoa and the
receivers.
“When our name is called,
we execute,” he said. “Maybe
we haven’t had as many oppor-
tunities but now we take advan-
tage of those opportunities.”

DILBERT
Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
I must take
issue with
your response
to “Tired of
Behinds” (Sept.
5), who was
upset that her
fiancé is part of
a men’s group
chat that includes
the sending and
ZITS receiving of por-
nographic female
images.
While “boys
will be boys” has
been the reigning
Dear Abby
excuse for male
misbehavior for years — nay,
centuries! — times are chang-
ing. “Tired” has every right to
demand that her fiancé behave
respectfully toward women,
both publicly and in private. He disrespectful. How can a
may not be able to change his
friends’ behavior, but he has
GARFIELD control over his own and could
demonstrate that he’s not a
boy, but a man who respects
women for who they are, not
their looks or perceived sexual
value. Would he want others to
look at his sister, his mother,
his daughter or her that way?
I doubt it.
Excusing “boys” for their
misogyny only perpetuates our
sexual assault culture. “Tired”
should take a long look at her
fiance’s behavior and decide
whether or not he is the kind
CANDORVILLE of man she wants to share
her life with. —
WANTS A BET-
TER WORLD FOR
MY DAUGHTER
DEAR WANTS:
Most, but not
all, of the many
women — and
men — who com-
mented on that
letter agree with
you. Read on:
DEAR ABBY:
Your response
supported the
idea that for
men to bond and
feel like “real
men,” they need
to advertise to each other
their sexual interest in women
other than their spouses,
and women need to tolerate
it. The practice is hurtful and
woman feel like her fiancé’s
friends care about her welfare
if they’re sending naked pho-
tos of other women to him? It
seems women’s feelings don’t
matter at all in this bonding
ritual. Furthermore, the men
don’t have to touch these
other women to have a “sexual
experience” with them. —
TIRED OF “BOYS” IN TUCSON
DEAR ABBY: I do not agree
with you that what these men
are doing is the equivalent of
“old-time barbershop talk.”
What’s being shared digitally
today isn’t at all like the mag-
azines and chat from even 20
years ago. It’s far more graph-
ic and less woman-friendly.
You are right that “Tired”
will not change her fiancé.
That’s why she should leave
now and avoid the future
heartbreak that could be wait-
ing. There’s always a victim
when it comes to porn. Just
because the sharing is within
a closed group doesn’t mean
some women weren’t victim-
ized. Or that some men won’t
become addicted. — SAD
ABOUT THIS IN THE WEST
DEAR ABBY: Speaking as
a man who has been part of
multiple “men’s groups,” as
well as happily married for
many years, I find “Tired’s”
fiancé’s chat group to be
inappropriate, just as she
does — particularly the group
icon picture. I respect women
as people, not physical/sexual
objects. He should speak up
out of respect for women. Do-
ing so could influence one or
more of his friends to rethink
their position. — WILLIAM IN
OREGON
DEAR ABBY: These are
private conversations between
adult men. Sexuality makes
the world go ‘round. Yes, wom-
en deserve respect and not
to be sexually harassed. But
we shouldn’t have to totally
remove sexuality from the
equation. Women chat about
men and look at images just
like we do. It’s just less talked
about. — MR. B. IN HOUSTON

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
16). You’ll gain greater control
over your own mental state this
solar return and often be able to
change it to suit the opportunity
at hand. Other exciting events
include attending a party that
will be legendary, the cele-
bration of your growing family
and being entrusted with an
honorable responsibility. Aries
BABY BLUES and Aquarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 5, 50, 14,
20 and 11.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Melodramatic people will avoid
you (they thrive on theatrics and
therefore don’t want problems
to end), freeing your time for
maximum positive productivity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
It turns out that a few of your
tangents were unnecessary,
but no regrets. Your story is
better for journey, even though,
as Glinda the Good Witch once
said, “You’ve always had the
power.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
When everyone does the as-
signed job, things go smoothly.
The trouble occurs when jobs
haven’t been assigned. Who
isn’t working and could be a
great asset to the cause? Put
everyone to work.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). While you’d love to help
everyone who asks, some of
the requests you’ll get are out
of your jurisdiction or just don’t
feel right to you. Your intuitive
response will be correct. Set
limits.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
lion heart will lead you around
today. You’ll give generously of
yourself. Also notable is your ac-
cess to excellent teachers. Take
advantage of the opportunity
to learn.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Explore the nature of a problem,
goal or objective. Analyze
what has been tried, what
worked and what didn’t. Take a
straight-forward, scientific ap-
proach to making things better
and you’ll succeed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
When you concern yourself with
getting to higher levels of rap-
port and trust with the people
around you, you’ll skip over a lot
of other kinds of problems that
could arise to engage with what
really matters.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You have a holistic view
that allows you to see the
entirety of people to whatever
extent is actually possible.
You’ll be appreciated for your
clear, honest feedback.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’re sensitive to a wide
range of social styles, and you
will match your approach ac-
cordingly as a gesture of good-
will. This also happens to be an
excellent way to build rapport
that will serve you well later.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Don’t get snared into the
myth of confidence. Any fool
can be confident, and many are,
while the wiser and smarter
may be riddled with doubt. Take
confidence out of the equation.
Strive to do what’s right.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). People will support what
they create, not necessarily
what they are paid to support,
and of course not what’s been
forced upon them. Co-creations
will be much easier to float than
solitary plans.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). To form the bonds of
loyalty, humans need to connect
on many levels including the
emotional, intellectual and phys-
ical. Usually that is complicated,
but today it will seem to happen
naturally and effortlessly.

AP Food and Health Writer
OAKFIELD, N.Y. — Cows that can
withstand hotter temperatures. Cows
born without pesky horns. Pigs that nev-
er reach puberty.
A company wants to alter farm animals
by adding and subtracting genetic traits
in a lab. It sounds like science fiction, but
Recombinetics sees opportunity for its
technology in the livestock industry.
But first, it needs to convince regu-
lators that gene-edited animals are no
different than conventionally bred ones.
To make the technology appealing and
to ease any fears that it may be creating
Franken-animals, Recombinetics isn’t
starting with productivity. Instead, it’s
introducing gene-edited traits as a way to
ease animal suffering.
“It’s a better story to tell,” said Tam-
my Lee, CEO of the St. Paul, Minneso-
ta-based company.
For instance, animal welfare advo-
cates have long criticized the way farm-
ers use caustic paste or hot irons to de-
horn dairy cows so the animals don’t
harm each other. Recombinetics snips
out the gene for growing horns so the
procedure is unnecessary.
Last year, a bull gene-edited by Re-
combinetics to have the dominant horn-
less trait sired several offspring. All were
born hornless as expected, and are being
raised at the University of California,
Davis. Once the female offspring starts
lactating, its milk will be tested for any
abnormalities.
Another Recombinetics project: cas-
tration-free pigs.
When male piglets go through puber-
ty, their meat can take on an unpleasant
odor, something known as “boar taint.”
To combat it, farmers castrate pigs, a
procedure animal welfare advocates say
is commonly performed without painkill-
ers. Editing genes so that pigs never go
through puberty would make castration
unnecessary.
Also in development are dairy cows
that could withstand higher tempera-
tures, so the animals don’t suffer in hot-
ter climates.
Recombinetics and others say
gene-editing techniques do what tradi-
tional breeding has always done, except
much faster and with the precision of
“molecular scissors.” They are waiting
for clarity from government officials, but
say meat and milk from gene-edited ani-
mals shouldn’t be subject to special reg-
ulations.
Most U.S. dairy cows already are bred
through artificial insemination from “se-
men straws,” which are priced for a bull’s
pedigree and traits developed through
years of traditional breeding. Gene-edit-
ed traits would just be higher-priced ex-
tras, Recombinetics says. For example,
the hornless trait could add $3 to $5 to
the price of a semen straw that could cost
around $15.
Once gene-editing is accepted by the
public, farmers will be more interested
in traits that step up productivity, Lee
predicted. As an example, she cited pigs
edited to have bigger litters.
