Our View

Roses and thorns

A rose to all the dads
out there on Dad’s Day.
Although it is officially
known as Father’s Day,
you will pardon us if we
use the more personal
term. Who wants to have or be a father,
which seems to us to be a description
of a cold and distant authority figure?
Dads, on the other hand, are relatable,
warm, fun, supportive, understanding.
There are some poor unfortunate souls
who have a father, but many, many more
who have a good ol’ dad. We salute all
you dads out there on your special day.
A rose to Columbus
mom Margaret Rollins
for her efforts to pro-
mote organ donor-ship.
Thursday, Rollins made
her case at the weekly luncheon of the
Columbus Exchange Club. It’s a deeply
personal plea from Rollins, whose
daughter Adeline, now 2 ½, would have
likely died were it not for a liver trans-
plant. A doctor informed Margaret that
one-third of children with her daugh-
ter’s form of liver disease die for lack
of a donor. Fortunately, Adeline had
a donor in her own home. Margaret’s
liver was a match and she was able to
provide a portion of her healthy liver for
her daughter, who is now thriving. Not
every patient is so fortunate. There are
currently 113,234 people in the country
on the waiting list for an organ, nearly
2,000 of whom are children. We applaud
Rollins for bringing this need to our
attention. Now, it’s up to us to respond.
A rose to Mississippi
State’s athletics pro-
gram. Tonight, the MSU
baseball team takes on
Auburn in its opening
game of the College World Series. As
the last of the MSU teams to finish its
2018-2019 season, MSU has reached the
CWS for the 11th time in its history and
second year in a row. But success has
been the rule rather than the exception
for MSU in this remarkable year. The
Bulldogs’ football team went to its ninth
consecutive bowl game, the MSU men’s
basketball team made it into the NCAA
Tournament for the first time since
2009, and the MSU women reached
the NCAA’s Elite Eight for the third
consecutive year. MSU softball, track
and field, men’s tennis and women’s golf
also made it to the postseason. It’s truly
been a special year. And, of course, it’s
not over yet. Hail State!
A rose to Lee Brown,
who has resigned from
his position on the
Starkville-Oktibbeha
Consolidated School District Board
of Trustees after almost 10 years of
service. Brown announced his deci-
sion to resign, effective in July, after
accepting a job offer in Tennessee.
His long tenure on the board came
when the school district was going
through some big changes – not the
least of which was the consolidation of
the city and county schools. His was a
trusted voice on the board, someone
who helped smooth the consolidation
process, which is always difficult. We
thank Brown for his service, recog-
nizing that serving on the school
board is far from glamorous. School
board members are quickly criti-
cized, frequently second-guessed and
sometimes viewed with suspicion. It’s
a tough but important job. Brown per-
formed his duties admirably. We thank
him for his service to the community
and wish him well.

Monument will honor civil rights activists in Mississippi

Natchez Mayor Darryl Grennell said he’d like
to have the monument finished by Oct. 2,
the anniversary of 1965 march
The Associated Press
NATCHEZ — Workers in
Mississippi have started install-
ing the foundation for a monu-
ment honoring civil rights activ-
ists who were arrested in 1965
and taken to a notorious prison
where they were held several
days without being put on trial.
The monument, called
“Proud to Take a Stand,” is be-
ing built near a spot in down-
town Natchez where the mostly
young black protesters were
held before being taken to the
Mississippi State Penitentiary at
Parchman, The Natchez Demo-
crat reported.
Natchez Mayor Darryl Gren-
nell says his father, Jonathan
Grennell, was among the pro-
testers arrested while marching
for civil rights. They did not have
a permit, as was then required
by a city ordinance. The rule
was later ruled unconstitutional.
The mayor said he’d like to
have the monument finished by
Oct. 2, the anniversary of the
march.
“I’m just happy to see it’s be-
ginning to come together,” he
said.

ite monument engraved with
the names of those impris-
oned in the Parchman Ordeal,
as it has come to be called, is
placed on the site.
The state of Mississippi
and the city of Natchez each
gave $38,300 toward the mon-
ument. Grennell raised more
than $14,000, including $1,000
of his own money.
“Different people in the
community just stepped up
to the plate, and different
churches made donations,
too,” the mayor said. “I’m just
so thankful. With that money
to go with the money from
the state and the city, we have
been able to go forward with
this and move this project for-
ward.”
Grennell said several Nat-
chez residents are survivors
of the Parchman Ordeal and
many of them have expressed
interest in seeing the project
come to fruition.

Mayor says he has ‘great remorse’
for bar fight with deputy
FULTON — A northeast Mississippi mayor is apol-
ogizing for a bar fight with a part-time sheriff’s deputy.
At the same time, WTVA-TV reports aldermen are
restricting the mayor’s use of a city vehicle.
Fulton Mayor Barry Childers said at a specially
called meeting of aldermen Thursday that he has “great
remorse” for a Saturday fight with Itawamba County
Sheriff’s Deputy Andy Graham. Childers says he wants
to “sincerely apologize.” Authorities have said the men
have continuing disputes.
A video shows a man seated at the bar punching a
man standing next to him. The two struggle and fall to
the floor.
No charges have been filed.
Aldermen are restricting Childers’ vehicle use to
business hours and official out-of-town travel, saying
he’s used it for personal reasons, including driving to
the bar.

Wind, field dimensions

Standing in right field during last season’s

College World Series matchup with North Car-
olina, senior outfielder Elijah Mac-
Namee charged toward the infield.
On a high-fly ball, second base-
man Hunter Stovall called for it as
he peddled back.
Both of them misjudged it –
with MacNamee overrunning it
– and the ball fell to the ground at
TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, MacNamee
Nebraska.
“I’m kind of running in, and
I look up, and the ball is 30 feet
behind my head,” MacNamee re-
called laughing.

Michigan beats Texas Arkansas shut out

Tech 5-3 in its 1st CWS
game since 1984
in opening round at Omaha
By ERIC OLSON
The Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — Stage fright was no factor for a

Michigan baseball program that’s in the College World
Series for the first time in 35 years. The Wolverines just
kept doing what they’ve been doing since the NCAA
Tournament started.
“Pitching, defense, timely hitting seems to be the
recipe of the postseason,” coach Erik Bakich said.
The Wolverines got all three once again Saturday at
TD Ameritrade Park.
Jimmy Kerr’s first triple in two years

Braves pitcher Newcomb hit Braves’ Keuchel allows 3 runs

on back of head by liner, exits
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Braves starter Sean
Newcomb left the game in a scary scene
after being hit in the back of the head by
a line drive off the bat of Philadelphia’s
J.T. Realmuto.
Newcomb was checked by a trainer
and walked off the field under his own
power in Atlanta, escorted by two train-
ers Saturday.
The ball was clocked at 102 mph and
caromed off Newcomb’s head and sailed
into the netting behind the Phillies’
dugout on the third base side. Realmu-
to covered his mouth with both hands
as he ran to first base on what went as a
ground-rule double.
The play occurred in the third inning
at SunTrust Park. Newcomb turned his
head as the ball approached and knelt
on the mound immediately after getting
hit. Catcher Tyler Flowers had him stay
down while a trainer and Braves manag-
er Brian Snitker came out to tend to the
left-hander.
Touki Toussaint took Newcomb’s
spot.
in 7 innings in Double-A game
By DAVID BRANDT
The Associated Press
PEARL, Miss. — Dallas Keuchel’s
second start in the minors since sign-
ing with the Atlanta Braves was a little
more of a struggle than his first.
The 31-year-old left-hander gave
up three runs and 11 hits over seven
innings for Double-A Mississippi of
the Southern League on Saturday. He
struck out four and walked one, throw-
ing 106 pitches, including 74 strikes.
Keuchel said he felt good physically
and would have a discussion with the
Braves front office to see if his next
outing would be in the majors or with
another minor-league affiliate.
The 2015 AL Cy Young Award win-
ner signed a one-year deal on June 7
that pays him $13 million.
Keuchel pitched seven innings of
one-hit ball for Class-A Rome on Mon-
day in his first game, but wasn’t as
sharp Saturday. He gave up two runs
on three hits in the first inning.

Philadelphia Phillies rallied from a
two-run deficit to snap the Atlanta
Braves’ eight-game winning streak
with a 6-5 victory on Saturday night.
It was a big comeback for the
Phillies, who looked poised to lose
for the fifth time in six games and
fall 3½ games behind their rivals
in NL East race. Philadelphia has
dealt with rampant injuries this
season and had starters Jay Bruce
and J.T. Realmuto leave during the
game.

inning when he was struck on the
back of the head by J.T. Realmuto’s
ground-rule double. He walked off
the field under his own power.

sacrifice bunt and errantly threw to

Hernández hit his seventh ho-
mer in the fourth to put the Phillies

Josh Donaldson hit a three-run
homer off Aaron Nola to erase a
two-run deficit in the fifth for At-
lanta, which was getting big cheers
from the sellout crowd of 43,593,
the largest yet in three seasons at
SunTrust Park, before the ninth.

Touki Toussaint (5-0), who relieved
Newcomb and pitched 2 1/3 innings
to get the win.
Atlanta trimmed the margin to
3-2 in the third. Acuña singled, ad-
vanced to second on right fielder
Bryce Harper’s fielding error and
scored from third on a groundout.

injury.
Syndergaard reached for his right hamstring af-

night against the St. Louis Cardinals. Mets manag-
er Mickey Callaway and an athletic trainer came out
to check on Syndergaard, who quickly walked off

Syndergaard threw 102 pitches. He was charged

Yastrzemski, Vogt team up to

lead Giants over Brewers 8-7
By GIDEON RUBIN
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO —
After languishing in the
minors for seven years,
Mike Yastrzemski is mak-
ing up for lost time.
The grandson of Hall
of Famer Carl Yastrzems-
ki made a diving catch for
the final out and catcher
Steven Vogt hit two triples
as the San Francisco Gi-
ants beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 8-7 on Saturday.
The Giants rallied
from a 5-1 deficit for their
fourth straight win.
Christian Yelich hit
his major league-leading
26th homer for the Brew-
ers, who have lost three
of four after a four-game
winning streak.
Yelich connected for a
solo drive with two outs in
the ninth and Ryan Braun
followed with a single for
his third hit. Yasmani
Grandal then hit a drive
to left-center field, but
Yastrzemski rushed over
and in for a diving grab to
end it.
“You’re kind of in the
heat of the moment where
you just want to get the
out somehow,” Yastrzems-
ki said. “It’s a moment of
relief because those last
three outs are the hardest
outs to get, especially the
last one.”
“So when it finally
ends and we solidify the
W, then you just take that
deep breath and say ‘all
right, we’re good,’” he
said.
Will Smith wound up
with his 18th save in 18
tries. Smith pitched for
the fourth time in five
days.
“Amazing,” Smith said
of Yastrzemski’s catch.
“He gets the save today,
for sure. Just a great play,
playing the game the
right way, playing hard,
laying out and making a
catch for us is nice.”
The Giants acquired
Yastrzemski in a trade
with the Baltimore Ori-
oles in March. The
28-year-old was 2 for 4.
On Friday, Yastrzems-
ki hit a two-run homer in
the seventh inning of a 5-3
Giants victory over the
Brewers.
Vogt became the first
Giants catcher to triple
twice in a game since
Steve Nicosia did it in July
18, 1984. Vogt hadn’t hit a
triple since May 4, 2017.
Vogt also beat out beat
out an infield hit to drive
in an insurance run in the
eighth.
“Obviously, playing
in this ballpark, there’s a
chance for some triples,”
Vogt said.
“It’s just kind of funny,
I’ve had some triples in
the past, but never two in
one game, so it’s just kind
of a weird feeling right
when I hit the second one.
it kind of went through
my head like ‘wow, could
be the second one,’” he
said.
Vogt and Brandon
Crawford, who doubled
twice, each had three hits.
Kevin Pillar had two hits
and drove in two runs.
The Giants scored
twice in the seventh off
Junior Guerra (2-1) for a
7-6 lead. Vogt tripled with
one out, Pillar hit an RBI
single and Crawford dou-
bled home the go-ahead
run.
Giants reliever Trevor
Gott (3-0) pitched an in-
ning in which he gave up
one run for the win.
Brewers starter Jimmy
Nelson gave up four runs
on five hits in four-plus in-
nings of five-hit ball. The
30-year-old right-hander
was making his second Giants: C Buster Posey

from shoulder surgery.
Nelson retired 11
straight after yielding two
hits to start the game, but
lost command pitching
into the fifth, when he
walked three straight to
start the inning before
manager Craig Counsell
summoned reliever Adri-
an Houser.
Giants starter Madison
Bumgarner gave up three
earned in six innings.
Yelich extended his
hitting streak to 12 games
and Manny Piña also
homered for the Brewers.
“They found grass on
just a lot of balls and in
the end we didn’t (get)
any on the last ball,”
Brewers manager Craig
Counsell said. “They just
kept finding spots where
we weren’t standing.
Short hops
Yelich stole his 16th
base to move ahead of Jar-
rod Dyson for the league
lead. . Giants first base-
man Brandon Belt was 1
for 4, extending his on-
base streak to 18 games.
. The Giants are a major
league-best 16-6 in one-
run games.
Lefty mark
Bumgarner passed
Carl Hubbell for the all-
time franchise strikeout

all-time on the franchise
list. Christy Mathewson
(2,504) holds the all-time

Analysis: Anthony Davis trade a win-win for both sides

By TIM REYNOLDS
AP Basketball Writer
The saga is over.
When this trade is
done, everybody can say
they won.
The Lakers, the Peli-
cans, Rich Paul, LeBron
James, they all can take a
victory lap. The trade that
will be official in the com-
ing weeks sending Antho-
ny Davis from the New
Orleans Pelicans to the
Los Angeles Lakers for
Brandon Ingram, Lonzo
Ball, Josh Hart and three
first-round draft picks —
first reported by ESPN,
later confirmed to The As-
sociated Press by several
people with knowledge of
the matter — is perfect
for both sides.
James gets the super-
star teammate he wanted.
Paul, the agent James and
Davis share, pulls off a
power move. The Lakers
instantly become major
players in a suddenly open
Western Conference. Da-
vis finally gets his wish to
leave New Orleans. The
Pelicans don’t begin Zion
Williamson’s era with a
disgruntled superstar in
the locker room. They
load up on young players
and have tons of draft
chips to play around with.
For the Pelicans, it’s a
new beginning.
For the Lakers, it’s
about winning now.
Draft picks, including
No. 4 in this year’s class,
smartly were not overval-
ued by the Lakers — a
team with a superstar who
is turning 35 in December
and should be doing any-
thing necessary to help
him win a fourth champi-
onship before his window
closes. The Lakers have
tons of money to spend
starting June 30 and
the sales pitch to Kem-
ba Walker, Kyrie Irving
or anyone else changes
mightily after this move.
Before Saturday it
would have been Lakers
general manager Rob Pe-
linka saying, “We’re try-
ing to get Anthony Davis.”
Now it’ll be Pelinka
saying, “We’ve got Davis,
we’ve got LeBron and
they want you with them.”
That’ll be a tough offer
for anyone to ignore.
James is going to get
another Big Three out of
this: It was Dwyane Wade,
Chris Bosh and him in Mi-
ami; Kevin Love, Irving
and him in Cleveland; Da-
vis, him and TBA with the
Lakers. Clearly, the focus
will be on a guard, which
is why the rumor mill will
be all about either Walker
or Irving going to Los An-
geles in free agency.
The offseason is al-
ready in high gear.
Hard to believe it really
just got started.
This deal got agreed to
before the newly crowned
NBA champion Toronto
Raptors — this is true —
hoisted the Larry O’Brien
Trophy on Canadian soil
for the first time. They
won Thursday night at
Oracle Arena to end Gold-
en State’s reign, partied
in Las Vegas on Friday
and were flying home to
Toronto on Saturday.

Woodland takes 1-shot lead over Rose in US Open

By DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The
toughest test in this U.S. Open might be
more about nerves from chasing history
than Pebble Beach.
Gary Woodland held it together Sat-
urday with bold plays and two unlikely
pars for a 2-under 69, giving him a one-
shot lead over Justin Rose and his first
appearance in the final group of a major.
Lurking is Brooks Koepka, who
played bogey-free for a 68 to give him-
self a shot at a record that has stood for
114 years as he tries to join Willie Ander-
son with a third straight U.S. Open title.
Standing in the way is Pebble Beach,
a strong enough test that has been miss-
ing strong wind, its best defense.
The final hour of the third round gave
a glimpse of possibilities, how fortunes
can change quickly. Woodland twice
looked as though he were about to lose
two shots or more of his lead until chip-
ping in from 35 feet on the par-3 12th
hole, and holing a par putt from just over
40 feet on the par-5 14th.
“I’m excited to be where I’m at right
now,” Woodland said.
He was at 11-under 202 and with hard-
ly any margin for error against Rose, the
2013 U.S. Open champion at Merion
who birdied the 18th for a 68. Rose got
up-and-down from a bunker, the 34th
time in 54 holes at Pebble that he had a
back that included Louis Oosthuizen,
who birdied three of his last four holes
to salvage a 70; and Chez Reavie, who
made his share of long par putts for a 68.
Koepka won at Erin Hills in 2017 with
his power and at Shinnecock Hills last
year with his clutch putting. He might
need a little of both to make up a four-
shot deficit at Pebble Beach, though he
brings the most recent experience han-
dling the pressure of a final round in a
major. He is going for his fifth major title
in his last nine tries, a stretch not seen
since Tiger Woods at his peak.
“I just enjoy the pressure,” Koepka
said. “I enjoy having to hit a good golf
shot, making a putt when the pressure
is on. If you’re within three on the back
nine, anything can happen. Hang around
all day and see what happens.”
Curtis Strange, the last player with a
shot at three straight U.S. Opens, also
shot 68 in the third round in 1990 and
got within two shots, only to fade with a
75 on the final day.
Rory McIlroy didn’t get enough out of
how well he hit the ball and had to settle
for a 70, leaving him five shots behind.

Henderson lead Meijer LPGA Classic; Thompson makes big move

The Associated Press
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. —
Brooke Henderson birdied the
final three holes Saturday for
a 3-under 69 and a two-stroke
lead over Annie Park in the
Meijer LPGA Classic, with Lexi
Thompson three shots back af-
ter matching the course record
with a 62.
Trying to break a tie for
the Canadian victory record
for both women and men, the
21-year-old Henderson had a
19-under 197 total at Blythe-
field Country Club. She opened
with consecutive 64s, playing
30 holes Friday after rain de-
layed the start Thursday, then
got off to a slow start Saturday
with three birdies and three bo-
geys in the first 15 holes.
“I kind of found it hard to
find my rhythm during the mid-
dle part of the round, so I kind
of got started batting third and
that’s never a good sign,” Hen-
derson said. “But to come back
with three birdies at the end
there makes the round feel a lit-
tle bit better.”
The 2017 winner at Blythe-
field, Henderson successfully
defended her Lotte Champion-
ship title in April in Hawaii for
her eighth LPGA Tour victory,
tying Sandra Post’s Canadian
record. George Knudson and
Mike Weir share the mark on
the PGA Tour, also with eight
victories.
“Of course, that’s in the back
of your mind, but it’s long from
over,” Henderson said. “There’s
so many great players close to
the top of the leaderboard. And
this course, you know there’s a
lot of birdies out there, so it’s
going to take a low score. So,
hopefully, I can just continue to
hit good shots and give myself a
chance for the win.”
Park birdied the par-5 18th
for her second straight 65.
“Overall, it’s been good with
shots, short game, putting,”
Park said. “Hopefully, I can
keep that momentum going on
for tomorrow. I can’t wait.”
The American returned ear-
ly Saturday to complete the fi-
nal hole of the suspended third
round, making a birdie on 18.
“Took a good nap in there,”
Park said.
Thompson, the 2015 win-
ner, eagled the 18th, hitting an
8-iron approach within 2 feet.
“It helped to have a really
good number, let alone a short
number,” Thompson said. “But
you have to take advantage of it.
There’s a lot of birdie holes out
there and a lot of opportunities,
so you just have to take advan-
tage of them.”
The winner last week in New
Jersey, she had the eagle, 10
birdies and two bogeys.
“I had a good warmup on
the range, felt good about my
game,” Thompson said. “The
last two days I haven’t struck it
to my capability and what I’ve
been working on in my game,
but today it kind of all fell to-
gether.”
Brittany Altomare matched
Thompson at 16 under with a
69.
Jennifer Kupcho was anoth-
er stroke back after her third
67. The former Wake Forest
star is making her third profes-
sional start. She won the inau-
gural Augusta National Wom-
en’s Amateur in April and the
NCAA individual title last year.
“Just go into it just like any
other tournament,” Kupcho
said. “I mean, I always like the
chase, so I’ll just go out there
and play my game and see what
shows up tomorrow.”
The KPMG Women’s PGA
Championship, the third major
championship of the year, is
next week at Hazeltine in Min-
nesota.

feet down the line. With
only 330 feet to left field
and 390 to straight-away
center, right-handed hit-
ters also have plenty to
work with.
That changes this
weekend.
TD Ameritrade is far
from hitter-friendly. At
its shortest, the ballpark
is 335 feet to right and
left field. Center field is a
staggering 408 feet from
home plate. Translation:
that’s a lot of ground to
cover.
“Having the experi-
ence is going to help,”
MacNamee said after
playing in Omaha last sea-
son. “You don’t know how
the wind is going to blow
one night. You can’t hear
half the time. It’s like you
need a megaphone to call
the ball off.”
Beyond the physical
structure, the wind is a
factor. Though unpredict-
able, it has been known to
whip around the park and
transform balls destined
for beyond the fence to
loud, long outs.
From a talent perspec-
tive, the Bulldog outfield
has flashed a propensity
for defensive brilliance.
Senior center fielder
Jake Mangum’s robbery
of Stanford first baseman
Andrew Daschbach in
game one of the Starkville
Super Regional saved a
grand slam.
Sophomore Rowdey
Jordan has also demon-
strated game-changing
ability in left field.
Trailing 4-1 in the top
of the fifth inning in a May
18 meeting with South
Carolina, Jordan ranged
to his left. Charging hard,
he leapt, collected and slid
into a low diving catch to
end the frame and strand
runners on the corners.
Finally, there is Mac-
Namee. Though he is
more limited as a fielder
than his counterparts, he
is now fully healthy as he
patrols right field. MacNa-
mee told reporters Tues-
day he is not hampered
by his previously injured
foot.
“You know, one of our
strengths is our outfield,”
MSU coach Chris Lemo-
nis said. “So I think we’ve
got some veteran guys out
there with Jake in center
and Elijah and Rowdey
that have played outfield
and they played here last
year, so I think they’re
familiar with it, and they
run.”
In addition to last sea-
son’s CWS appearance,
Hoover Metropolitan Sta-
dium, the site of the SEC
tournament, is almost
identical to TD Ameri-
trade dimensionally. The
Hoover Met comes in at
340 feet down the lines
and 405 to center field.
Those experiences
coupled with the talent
the Bulldog outfielders
possess, the group feels
prepared for the defensive
challenges of Omaha.
“Having that advan-
tage is definitely going to
help us,” MacNamee said.
“Because we know how
it’s going to be played and
we have the same outfield
so we’re just going to take
it one game at a time.”

bowale scored 17 points, Allisha Gray
added 16 points and the Dallas Wings
got their first win of the season with a
71-61 victory over the Atlanta Dream on
Saturday night.
The Wings (1-5) took control with a
17-4 run to lead 45-40 on Gray’s driving
layup with 1:47 left in the third quarter.

pushed its lead to 65-53 and held on for
the final three minutes.
Elizabeth Williams had 16 points, Tif-
fany Hayes scored 15 and Alex Bentley
added 11 for Atlanta. The Dream led for
most of the first half with their largest
lead of the game at 32-23.
Atlanta’s Jessica Breland blocked two
shots and reached 300 career blocks, the

late in the third quarter.
The Fever (4-4) closed the deficit to
within five in the final minute, but the
Sky made 3 of 4 from the foul line to hold
them off.
Kelsey Mitchell had 16 points, Natalie
Achonwa added 15 and Tiffany Mitchell
scored 10 for Indiana.
The Fever opened the game on an
8-0 run and held the lead until Chicago

AP Explains: Juneteenth celebrates end of slavery in the US

Forty-six states and the District of Columbia
recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday
or day of recognition, like Flag Day
By JESSE J. HOLLAND
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A holi-
day that is spreading across the
U.S. and beyond, Juneteenth is
considered the oldest known
celebration commemorating
the ending of slavery in the
United States.
It was originally celebrated
on June 19, the day that Union
soldiers in 1865 told enslaved
African Americans in Galves-
ton, Texas, that the Civil War
had ended and they were free.
Celebrations include pa-
rades, concerts, and readings
of the Emancipation Proclama-
tion. This year, Juneteenth will
also feature the first congres-
sional hearing in more than a
decade on reparations for slav-
ery.
Here’s a look at the holiday
and its history:
Beginnings
The celebration started with
the freed slaves of Galveston,
Texas. Although the Emanci-
pation Proclamation freed the
slaves in the South in 1863, it
could not be enforced in many
places until after the end of the
Civil War in 1865.
Laura Smalley, who was
freed from a plantation near
Bellville, Texas, remembered in
a 1941 interview that her former
master had gone to fight in the
Civil War and came home with-
out telling his slaves what had
happened.
“Old master didn’t tell, you
know, they was free,” Smalley
said. “I think now they say they
worked them, six months af-
ter that. Six months. And turn
them loose on the 19th of June.
That’s why, you know, we cele-
brate that day.”
It was June 19, 1865 when
Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger
and his Union troops arrived
at Galveston with news that the
war had ended and that the en-
slaved were now free.
Granger delivered General
Order No. 3, which said: “The
people of Texas are informed
that, in accordance with a proc-
lamation from the Executive of
the United States, all slaves are
free. This involves an absolute
equality of personal rights and
rights of property between for-
mer masters and slaves, and the
connection heretofore existing
between them becomes that
between employer and hired
labor.”
The next year, the now-freed
slaves started celebrating June-
teenth in Galveston, and the cel-
ebration has continued around
the nation and the world since.
What does Juneteenth mean?
The term Juneteenth is a
blend of the words June and
nineteenth. The holiday has
also been called Juneteenth
Independence Day or Freedom
Day.
According to Dee Evans, na-
tional director of communica-
tions of the National Juneteenth
Observance Foundation, there
will be Juneteenth celebrations
in almost every state this year.
Black Texans took the hol-
iday with them as they moved
around the country and over-
seas, Evans said, and what
started as a local celebration
went international.
Forty-six states and the
District of Columbia recog-
nize Juneteenth as a state hol-
iday or day of recognition, like
Flag Day. Countries like South
Korea, Ghana, Israel, Taiwan,
France, and the U.S. territory
of Guam have held or now hold
Juneteenth celebrations.
A resolution recognizing
Juneteenth as a national holiday
passed the Senate last year, but
the accompanying resolution
has not been approved in the
House.
Remembering the past
Juneteenth celebrations used
to revolve around the church
with speeches and picnics, said
Para LaNell Agboga, museum
site coordinator at the George
Washington Carver Museum,
Cultural and Genealogy Cen-
ter in Austin, Texas, which has
one of the only permanent June-
teenth museum exhibits in the
country.
It changed around the 1960s
with the civil rights movement,
she said.
“It became a little more sec-
ular and stretched over more
than one day,” Agboga said. “It
became kind of a time of com-
munity gathering ... It’s really
more huge parties and huge
parades and big concerts, but
always bringing in freedom. It’s
all about freedom.”
More than 150 cities will
have Juneteenth celebrations
this year, Evans said.
Each celebration is different,
from parades in places like Phil-
adelphia, Chicago, New York,
Atlanta, San Francisco and
Houston, to concerts in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, Denver and Mariet-
ta, Georgia, to free genealogy
workshops outside of Wash-
ington, D.C., to readings of the
Emancipation Proclamation.
Agboga, Evans and others
are working to make sure June-
teenth celebrators don’t forget
why the day exists.
“In 1776 the country was
freed from the British, but the
people were not all free,” Evans
said. “June 19, 1865, was actual-
ly when the people and the en-
tire country was actually free.”
It’s also a day to remember
the sacrifices that were made
for freedom in the United
States, especially in these ra-
cially and politically charged
days, Agboga said.
“Our freedoms are fragile,
and it doesn’t take much for
things to go backward,” she
said.

Family of slain ex-Arkansas state “Romeo and Juliet” director

Franco Zeffirelli dies at 96
senator ‘sickened’ by arrest The Associated Press

57-year-old Linda Collins was found release any of that” infor-

dead outside her home on June 4
By KEN MILLER
The Associated Press
The family of a former
Arkansas state senator
who was found dead out-
side of her home says
they are “sickened and
upset” by the thought that
one of her friends could
have been involved in her
killing.
Authorities on Friday
announced the arrest of
48-year-old Rebecca Lynn
O’Donnell, of Pocahontas,
in connection with the
killing of 57-year-old Lin-
da Collins, whose body
was found June 4 outside
her home in Pocahontas,
about 130 miles northeast
of Little Rock.
It was not clear where
O’Donnell was being held
on Saturday, but jail re-
cords in Randolph Coun-
ty, where Pocahontas is
located, do not list her as
an inmate. In neighbor-
ing Lawrence County, a
woman who answered the
phone but declined to give
her name said Saturday
that “we’re not going to
mation when asked about
O’Donnell. The woman
referred questions to
Lawrence County Sheriff
Jeff Yates and jail admin-
istrator Debbie Burleson,
who didn’t immediately
reply to phone messages
seeking comment. The
State Police also didn’t
reply to requests for com-
ment.
Authorities haven’t
said why they suspect
O’Donnell had a role in
Collins’ killing. At a news
conference Friday night,
Randolph County Sheriff
Kevin Bell said the inves-
tigation was at a “critical
juncture and no further
information will be re-
leased at this time until
we are confident it will not
compromise the integrity
of the criminal investiga-
tion.”
Phone calls Saturday to
numbers listed as O’Don-
nell’s rang unanswered
or messages weren’t re-
turned.
Police said criminal
charges are pending,
but didn’t say what the
charges may be or wheth-
er they were seeking any
other possible suspects in
the death of Collins, who
went by Collins-Smith
when she was in the Leg-
islature.
ROME — Italian director Franco Zeffirelli, who
delighted audiences around the world with his ro-
mantic vision and extravagant productions, most
famously captured in “Romeo and Juliet” and the
miniseries “Jesus of Nazareth,” died Saturday at 96.
While Zeffirelli was most known for his films,
his name was inextricably linked to the theater and
opera. He produced classics for the world’s most
famous opera houses, from Milan’s venerable La
Scala to the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and
plays for London and Italian stages.
Zeffirelli’s son Luciano said his father died at
home in Rome.
He made it his mission to make culture accessi-
ble to the masses, often seeking inspiration in liter-
ary greats for his films, and producing operas for
TV audiences.

‘Like quicksand’: Ohio farmer survives soybean entrapment

By MITCH STACY
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
The sea of shifting soy-
bean kernels had risen to
Jay Butterfield’s knees in-
side a tall grain bin on his
Ohio farm.
“I knew I was in trou-
ble then,” the 70-year-old
said. “Because it’s just like
being in quicksand or ce-
ment.”
Sometimes a job be-
comes so routine and fa-
miliar that carelessness
creeps in. That’s the way it
happened on Butterfield’s
116-acre farm north of
Cincinnati.
Soybeans that came
out of the field last Novem-
ber were damp, didn’t dry
well and weren’t flowing
smoothly out of an open-
ing in the bottom of the
30-foot-tall, corrugated
steel bin. Just before 4
p.m. on May 30, Butter-
field scaled the ladder on
the outside and climbed
down into the shadowy
bin with a length of plastic
pipe to break up the damp
clumps. He wore no har-
ness or safety equipment.
He had done the same
thing without incident the
previous day and on other
days.
“You think it’s not going
to happen to you,” said the
second-generation farmer.
Butterfield climbed
down and stood on top of
the hard legumes, poking
and breaking them up to
better facilitate the flow.
He was near the bottom of
the bin when he got stuck.
Then the crop that was
piled up around the sides
started to shift.
“The beans went out
from under my feet and
sucked them down that
fast,” he said. “Then they
started rolling on top of
me.”
Butterfield had mul-
tiple problems. He was
close enough to the bin’s
bottom to put his foot on
the rotating auger, which
helps sweep out the beans
and threatened to suck
him down into it. The ma-
chinery stripped the leath-
er off one of his steel-toed
boots and ripped the lace
out.
He hollered to his
brother-in-law Eddie De-
maree for help. By the
time the first rescue squad
arrived, Butterfield was
buried up to his chest with
his arms in the air.
Within about 10 min-
utes, he was covered up to
his chin.
Despite the warnings, a
couple dozen people, give
or take, die from being
buried in grain every year
in the U.S.

Dr. David K. Curtis and daughter Dr. Katie Curtis Windham are pictured at Pediatric Dentistry of Columbus Thursday. Both of David and Pat Curtis’ children —
Katie and Dr. Kennon Curtis — followed in their father’s footsteps, becoming board-certified pediatric dentists. Dr. David and Dr. Katie practice together in
Columbus. Dr. Kennon practices at Pediatric Dentistry of Madison, in Madison, Alabama. The doctors also see patients at their Pediatric Dentistry of Corinth.
Father’s Day gives pediatric dentists
extra reason to smile
BY JAN SWOOPE
jswoope@cdispatch.com
W
hen a child grows up to follow in
dad’s footsteps, most fathers will
admit to a bit of pride. But when
pediatric dentist Dr. David K. Curtis really
thinks about the fact that not one, but both
of his children, became pediatric dentists
themselves, it can sometimes, he admitted,
seem almost surreal.
“It would be easy to say it’s a dream
come true — but the truth is, I never
dreamed it could happen,” said Curtis, of
Columbus. “The fact that they chose to go
into my profession is humbling.”
David and Pat Curtis’ son, Dr. D.
Kennon Curtis Jr., and daughter, Dr. Katie
Curtis Windham, not only chose the same
field as their dad, they are affiliated with
him in three practices: Pediatric Dentistry
of Columbus, where Katie and her father
are based; Pediatric Dentistry of Madison,
in Madison, Alabama, where Kennon prac-
tices; and Pediatric Dentistry of Corinth,
where all three see patients.
■■■
The Curtis siblings’ career choices are
rooted in their childhood.
“They lived here,” said David, referring
to the dental clinic in Columbus. He’s been
in practice for 31 years, and Kennon’s and
Katie’s mother, Pat, is administrator of the
clinic. “They came in after school and did
their homework here. They were im-
mersed in what I do. And I think they saw I
was also a pretty happy person.”
Kennon, the eldest sibling, remembers
well being at the clinic as a kid. He joked
there may still be surviving stories of “me

as a young boy terrorizing” the kind-heart-
ed staff.
When he was old enough, Kennon was
given tasks, like alphabetizing the paper
charts that predated the digital era.
“I spent plenty of time shadowing Dad
and watching his interactions with the fam-
ilies and the children, seeing how he built
those connections,” he said.
Katie recalled, “I can remember when I
was 7 or 8 helping wipe down chairs, and
later helping with things like some steril-
ization. As I got into high school, I would
help more do the job of an assistant.”
When did they know they wanted to
study dentistry?
“I think there was a period around first
grade that I wanted to be a movie star but

eventually realized I had no acting ability,”
Kennon laughed. “But really I think (den-
tistry) is what I’ve always wanted to do. I
really cannot remember a time when I did
not feel that way.”
As the only pediatric dentist in Lowndes
County, David was frequently recognized
by youngsters in the community. His chil-
dren noticed.
“I grew up with kids running up to Dad
to tell them about their baseball games
or dance recitals,” Kennon said. “Every-
where we went, kids recognized him. I just
thought he was really famous.”
By ninth grade, Kennon was having
serious discussions with his parents about
eventually entering the profession.
“They were making sure it was some-
thing I really wanted to do, not just fol-
lowing along because Dad did it,” Kennon
said.
After attending Heritage Academy, he
entered Millsaps College, then graduated
from the University of Mississippi. Like his
father, he earned his Doctor of Medicine
in Dentistry (D.M.D.) from the University
of Mississippi Medical Center School of
Dentistry. After completing two years of
pediatric residency at Batson Children’s
Hospital in Jackson, he fulfilled addition-
al requirements to be recognized as a
certified pediatric dentist by the American
Board of Pediatric Dentistry. He has been
in practice since 2013.
Following the model of Kennon’s
parents, his wife, Candi, is the practice
administrator in Madison.
“I don’t know how I ever would have
gotten this off the ground without her,”
Kennon said.

at 7 p.m. in Columbus Columbus Community Theatre

BY JAN SWOOPE & Wild West Tales”

■ WHEN: Friday, June 21, 7 p.m.
■ WHERE: Columbus Arts Council

K
ick off the spurs and pull
up a chair Friday as the
Columbus Arts Council
and Columbus Community
Theatre revisit the frontier
with “Songs of the Dusty Trails
& Wild West Tales.” The 7
p.m. show at the arts council’s
Rosenzweig Arts Center Om-
nova Theater in downtown Co-
lumbus combines music, brief
skits and poetry for a glimpse
into the bygone era of cowboys
and campfires. Along the way,
familiar characters like Matt
Dillon, Miss Kitty and Annie
Oakley make an appearance.
Their performances comple-
ment the CAC’s “Headin’ West”
seasonal theme celebrating
arts inspired by the American
West.
“We think this will be a fun
night. We started out on the
East Coast last year, and we’re
trying to work our way across
the country, featuring visual
and performing arts repre-
senting different regions,”
said CAC Program Manager
Beverly Norris.
“Dusty Trails” opens in
Dodge City’s Dry Branch
Saloon, a play on the Long
Branch Saloon of “Gunsmoke”
fame. But the town has gone
dry, leaving the saloon serving
only tea, coffee, milk and sarsa-
parilla to the cast of characters
that comes in off the dusty
street.
“We’re bemoaning the fact
that the railroad is not coming
through Dodge,” said Roger

Roger Burlingame and Midge Maloney, as Frank Butler and Annie Oakley, disagree about who’s the
best sharpshooter at rehearsal for “Songs of the Dusty Trails & Wild West Tales” at the Rosenzweig
Arts Center Tuesday. The evening of music, skits and poetry begins at 7 p.m. Friday.
Burlingame, who appears as
Dillon, and later as marksman
Frank Butler. Butler’s coun-
terpart is sharpshooter Annie
Oakley, portrayed by Midge
Maloney. The pair was a fix-
ture in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West
Show. On Friday, they square
off musically over who’s the
better shot.
“As we come into the saloon,
we’re murmuring about who’s
best,” said Maloney of a scene
that sets up a performance of
Irving Berlin’s “Anything You
Can Do (I Can Do Better).”
Others at the Dry Branch
will include Vicki Hill as Miss

■ TICKETS: CAC members $15
advance/$17 at door; non-mem-
bers $20 advance/$22 at door, at
columbus arts.org or 662-328-2787
(closed Mondays).
Musical guests including
Paul Brady, Katie Burchfield,
Mike O’Bryant, Clara Ortega
— and violinists Diane Ford,
Jan Atkins and Patti Gildea —
will treat the audience to songs
such as “Tumbling Tumble-
weeds,” “Wayward Wind”
and “Shenandoah.” Marquet
McBride will share poetry.
Angie Basson will play Native
American flute.
Ortega plans to perform two
songs in Spanish, “Malagueña”
and “Soledad y El Mar.” Born
in southern California, Ortega
is the daughter of parents who
immigrated from Mexico. She
has lived in Columbus for six
years.
“I feel very lucky that I get
to share a little bit of my heri-
tage with the community that’s
become my home,” she said.
“With the railroad bypass-
ing our fictional Dodge, the
Dry Branch is closing after a
long run, and folks are com-
ing into town to give it a good
send-off,” said Norris. “We
hope everyone will join us for
an evening of good humor and
moving moments.”

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: I have had a
wonderful and fulfilling
career, and a life with a few
hard bumps along the road. My
wife and I enjoy spending time
together as empty nesters.
For the last 16 years, I have
built and led several not-for-prof-
it organizations. After the last
experience ended, we relocated,
and I now have a less-demanding
job I hope will take me into my
retirement.
I enjoy the position, but how
do I prepare for a rewarding and
fulfilling life once I’m no longer Dear Abby
fully employed? My wife and I plan
to winter in Florida, do some trav-
eling and enjoy life. I have some hobbies I look
forward to spending time on, but I’m hoping for
more than just that. Looking back, I wonder if I
may have devoted too much to my
career.
I guess I’m having trouble
letting go of the wheel, the pace
and the high expectations I have
lived by all my adult life. Have
you any suggestions to help me
prepare for the next chapter? I
will continue to help others and
volunteer, but I need some guid-
ance. — TROUBLE LETTING GO IN
PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR TROUBLE: Before retir-
ing, make sure you are really ready
to take that next step and discuss
with your wife what that will mean
to both of you. Between helping
others, volunteering, traveling and
splitting the year between two different commu-
nities, I suspect you will be plenty busy.
Now that you will have the time, use some
of it to see your children and grandchildren, if
there are any. Remember, too, the importance
of staying physically as well as mentally active,
and perhaps consider mentoring someone if the
opportunity presents itself.
DEAR ABBY: My wonderful 82-years-young
father-in-law and mother-in-law still exercise
regularly, and it shows. They are both beautiful
and healthy. I was particularly impressed when
my father-in-law recently informed me that, on a
daily basis, he “practices” getting up from a fall
by lying down on the floor and then getting up
without using his hands. He said he repeats the
process several times a day because it keeps
his core strong. I think it’s brilliant. Perhaps
other seniors reading this will incorporate this
practice into their daily routine if they are able
to. — BLESSED DAUGHTER-IN-LAW IN CALIFOR-
NIA
DEAR BLESSED: I’m glad you shared what
your in-laws are doing in order to remain
healthy. Anyone who hasn’t tried lying on the
floor and getting up without using their hands
may be in for a surprise the first time they try.
It isn’t as easy as it sounds. The “trick” is to
roll onto your knees and lift yourself one leg at
a time without touching your thighs. I tried it,
and I can do it — but it took some practice. I
encourage people of all ages to try.
DEAR READERS: I’m wishing a Happy
Father’s Day to fathers everywhere — birth
fathers, stepfathers, adoptive and foster fa-
thers, grandfathers, and all of those caring men
who mentor children and fill the role of absent
dads. And a big shout-out to dual-role moms. I
applaud you all. — LOVE, ABBY

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 16).
What make this year’s dealings so
wonderful isn’t the money involved
(though it’s nothing to sneeze at) but
the intangibles. This includes the af-
finity you feel for the people involved
and the hope you trade on -- a hope
that everyone will build something
great from the arrangement. Indeed,
that’s exactly what happens. Cancer
and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 11, 40, 28 and 14.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
have respect for your competitors,
teachers and for all the others who
are likely to get their feathers ruffled
by your new plans. You can be re-
spectful and still move forward.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your
secret to staying fresh and relevant
is pretty simple: The learning never
stops for you. Today, there will be a
wealth of educational options, and it
will take some deliberation to figure
out the best thing to learn next.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
What’s relaxing to you would be
considered very active to another
person. You’ll move, express yourself
and get into life’s mix. At the end
of the day, you’re not tired; you’re
recharged.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
It would be strange if you were
overly aware of yourself at all times.
However, once in a while you need
a reminder about who you are and
what you bring to the table, so you
can help others to clearly see your
virtues.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have something to say that will help
people. Make your message easy to
spread. If everyone tells one person,
you’ll soon have the ear of more
people than you can count.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
People don’t just give their atten-
tion to anyone. Attention has to be
earned. Once attention is earned,
the next level is trust. This is what
you’ll spend your day earning and
building on.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If
you’re juggling too many options,
none of them will seem very appeal-
ing. It will be easy to get distracted.
You make your best decisions when
there are fewer things to choose
from.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
are so aware of the limits of your
time and attention that it makes it
very difficult for you to stay for any
length of time in a conversation,
activity or situation that doesn’t
interest you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Air, water, food, shelter -- these are
needs. Technically, most other things
aren’t needs; they’re wants. And to-
day, greater clarity is needed on the
matter because confusing wants with
needs will lead to poor choices.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
There are those who will go out of
their way to avoid new things. That’s
something you don’t relate to now,
though you’ll nonetheless find it
beneficial and possibly profitable to
accommodate the tendency.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
It’s great when the things that bring
you health also bring you good looks,
strength and the ability for physical
activity you enjoy. Such findings don’t
usually taste like candy. That’s a
hard part, but it’s worth it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’re curious about other people’s
dreams and desires. Not everyone
is, you know! That’s why people will
respond so warmly to your interest.
They want to be known as much as
you want to know them.

In the garden with Felder

Sometimes a physical barrier is the bottom line

T
here is a one-
word answer
to some of
the most plaintive
requests I get for
help with garden
pests: Fence.
As a frustrated
hands-on gardener
myself, I perfectly
understand how ev-
eryone wants relief
through an easy fix. Felder Rushing
And the pushback
about physical bar-
riers, whether out of concerns
over the expense or aesthetics.
But in most cases, there is
no last-minute cavalry charge,
no miraculous deus ex machi-
na; a physical barrier is the
bottom line. It applies equally
to me and other experienced
horticulturists even at botanic
gardens who have tried every-
thing possible with limited or
short short-term success.
As for alluring pie-in-the-
sky repellents, despite the
earnest testimonials from
many sincere individuals, they
rarely work well for most folks,
or for long.
Scarecrows, yappy feist
dogs, flashy tinfoil, perfumed
soap, fragrant herbal plants,
mothballs, gobs of human
hair, bands of lime, clear bags
of water, blue paint, sharp
punji sticks, concentrated
predator urine, high-pitched
sound machines, motion-acti-
vated sprinklers, intermittent
shotgun sounds, chewing
gum, fake owls and
snakes, pellet guns,
prayers, and yep,
even voodoo dolls
— tried them all,
with little depend-
able success.
Got deer? Fence.
Rabbits, armadillos,
‘possums, strawber-
ry-eating tortois-
es? Fence. Birds?
Caterpillar-making
butterflies? Fence.
Dogs or errant
soccer balls? Fence.
There are many types of
fences, from tall landscape
fencing made of wood, heavy or
lighter-gauge wire, to small-
er screened enclosures and
custom-made individual cages.
Some gardeners cover entire
plants with inexpensive, light-
weight but strong polyethylene
netting, using clothespins to
fasten them underneath to foil
smart birds, rats and opos-
sums.
Then there are electrified
wires, which if positioned right
can deter most mammals. Two
wires are better than one, with
the lowest set at raccoon and
‘possum height.
At considerable expense
and effort, my old friend Roger
Swain, world-renowned long-
time host of PBS’ “The Victory
Garden,” who has tried every-
thing else, finally put an 8-foot
heavy gauge wire fence with
double-action doors around his
entire New Hampshire prop-
Where pests are a real problem, fencing or netting is as important
a garden tool as any other.
erty, plus tall walk-in cages
for his berry plants. And he
faithfully shrouds raised beds
with bird and insect netting on
other crops. He even covers his
bathtub water garden with a
wire netting to keep birds and
raccoons from eating his fish.
Simply put, the Harvard
graduate garden expert
wouldn’t do any of if he could
Felder Rushing/Courtesy photo
rely on easier solutions.
All said, you won’t find
a single decent productive
garden in England that doesn’t
incorporate some of this. It’s
simply what they do, because
they need protection from
garden varmints — and netting
works.
I spent a big part of last
summer hand-picking tiny
green caterpillars from my edi-
ble-pod and English peas. This
year I covered my vines with a
tent made from hoops of rebar
rods and half-inch PVC pipe
(spray painted brown) draped
with netting with mesh small
enough to exclude butterflies
but large enough to allow more
adept pollinating bees through.
In naïve societies where
fencing is not considered aes-
thetically acceptable, a savvy
gardener has to be creative.
Tone down bare wire fences
with spray paint or get colored
fencing. Durable, UV-resistant
poly netting is nearly invisible
from just a few yards away.
Wood fences can be cute
pickets or neatly painted, and
can even have windows cut in
them, or decorated with wall
hangings and vines.
Bottom line, with most gar-
den pests: Fence ‘em out.
We’ll still have to deal with
slugs, but that’s another story
that involves getting rid of their
daytime hiding places and
every now and then putting a
band of slug bait around my
raised bed.
Oh, and two other excep-
tions: squirrels and neighbors’
cats constantly test everything.
So far, nothing has been effec-
tive against either.

Family
Continued from Page 1C
The couple has three
children: two girls, Ava
Lee, 11, and Ella Maria,
7, and a five-month-old
son, Liam.
■■■
On her career path,
Katie considered other
medical fields but found
herself drawn to helping
children.
After Heritage Acade-
my, she graduated magna
cum laude from the
University of Mississippi.
She earned her D.M.D. at
the University of Mis-
sissippi Medical Center
School of Dentistry and
attained her certificate in
pediatric dentistry at UT
Health in San Antonio,
Texas.
Having often been
identified in the dental
school community as
“Dr. Curtis’ daughter” in
Mississippi, Katie honed
her own identity in Texas.
“San Antonio was a
huge challenge. I grew so
much in that two years,”
she said.
In 2017, Katie and her
husband, Ripley native
Bennett Windham,
returned to Mississippi,
where Katie joined her
father and brother in
providing individualized
dental care for infants
through teenagers, as
well as special needs
patients.
She and Bennett are
parents of a 2-year-old
daughter, Julia, and are
expecting their second
child in July.
Working with her dad
and mom every day at
the Columbus clinic is a
treat, Katie said.
“I can’t imagine a
better work/life situation
than I have.”
For David, the transi-
tion from solo practice to
working with his daugh-
ter has been a smooth
one. In some partner-
ships, doctors see strictly
their own patients, “But
we decided we would see
patients together,” David
explained. “A day doesn’t
go by that I don’t say, ‘Dr.
Katie, would you look at
this with me?’”
The collaboration
benefits both father and
daughter,
said Pat.
David’s vast
experi-
ence and
guidance
is valuable
to Katie.
And Katie P. Curtis
brought
with her new knowledge
and new spirit.
■■■
Pat, all agree, is essen-
tial to the entire equation.
“She’s the person be-
hind the curtain making
things happen,” David
said.
“The whole thing,
none of it works without
Pat Curtis,”
added Ben-
nett. “She
takes care
of all of the
girls in the
office, and
she makes
the whole B. Windham
operation
run. The same goes
for Candi in Madison.
There’s quite a bit of
teamwork involved.”
Of course, three den-
tists in the same family
may stack the deck when
everyone gets together
outside of work. the joy that my dad has “It’s at the core of from him.”
“Oh, family gather- brought to families, everything. You’ve got On Father’s Day espe-

something interesting
that day, they discuss it
with each other. They’re
committed to what they
do; they’re very pas-
sionate about the whole
thing, and they really
care about helping kids.”
■■■
For Kennon and Ka-
tie, the bar is set high:
Their father is a former
president of The Amer-
ican Academy of Pedi-
atric Dentistry and is a
recipient of its highest
honor, the Distinguished
Service Award. He is
also a former presi-
dent of Healthy Smiles
Healthy Children, The
Foundation of A APD.
“I’m hoping to live
up to the legacy,” said
Katie, who found it easy
to become emotional
when talking about what
working with her family
means to her.
“I always wanted to be
a mommy,” she began.
“That was always a main
goal, but the pediatric
dentistry just took a spe-
cial place in my heart,
too.” She is now able now
to combine both well.
“Being in dad’s prac-
tice has made all of my
dreams come true.”
Kennon said, “Being
a pediatric dentist is the
best thing in the world.
I can’t imagine doing
anything else. I’ve seen
