The technology is new. The con-
cept of parking meters is not, as a
tour of downtown will confirm. All
along the sidewalks, you’ll find the
remnants of parking-meter polls,
sheered off at the level of the con-
crete.
It’s no small irony: The meters
were removed to lure people down-
town as malls and shopping centers
in outlying areas began to draw
customers away.
Today, the meters are going
back up in many cities as an effort
to lure those shoppers back.
“I know you guys have been
looking at parking for a while,”
Fountain said. “I’ve had phone calls
from people in Starkville for proba-

Godbolt, now 37, is charged with
killing the deputy, his own mother-

He has pleaded not guilty to
four counts of capital murder, four
counts of murder, one count of at-
tempted murder, two counts of kid-
napping and one count of armed
robbery, and has been held without
bail since his arrest hours after the
killings.

even as Fountain began
her presentation.
“Over my 26 years on

been ques-
tions about

said. “In the
past, we’ve
always re-
solved the Perkins
matter. We
have a downtown park-
ing officer. If there is an
issue about downtown
parking, we can increase
the number of hours for
that parking officer. Why
are we looking at meters?
What about the cost of the
meters and the upkeep of
the meters? This always
seems to come up from
time to time, but we’ve al-
ways managed to do this
without meters.”
Mayor Lynn Spruill re-
sponded by saying Foun-

“ There

Spruill said.
“I think information is

Oxford’s story
Robyn Tannehill, the
mayor of Oxford, is famil-
iar with both
the pros and
cons of add-
ing parking
meters.
F o r
years, Ox-
ford’s popu-
lar Square Tannehill
had serious
issues with parking.
“There were just far
more demand for free
parking than what was
available,” she said. “For
us, it was really an issue of
employees parking on the
Square and staying all day
long. There simply wasn’t
anywhere for visitors to
park.”
In 2013, the city ap-
proved the installation
of parking meters. In
September 2014, 200 me-
ters around the square
became operational. The
city has added another 99
meters since.
To pay for the me-
ters, Oxford borrowed
$350,000 on a five-year
loan.

Where does the day go?
“I think many
people have this
sense that something
about modern society
... has approached a
point where living in
the world feels some-
what unhealthy.”
Michael Finkel,
author and jour-
nalist
Every morning Shannon Bardwell
I plan my day and
make lists. As quickly as the
thoughts came, I remembered
women I had seen in a Hon-
duras village. I’ll call this one
Abagail.
Abagail wakes each morn-
ing and puts on her long
straight cotton skirt and a
T-shirt with “All that Jazz”
printed on the front. The shirt
came from a missionary box.
She slides on flip-flops, also
from the missionary box. A
headscarf covers her hair. She
spends no time deciding what
to wear. She looks beautiful.
She’s tall, slim and strong. A
toddler at her feet, a baby on
her hip, her thoughts are food
for the day and drawing clean
water. She may
work the garden,
wash clothes on a
rock in the village,
or go to the mis-
sion where she
can sit outside on a
concrete floor with
the other women
stringing beads to
sell, or separating
and bagging seeds
the mission workers
provide for the gar-
den. Later she walks the dirt
road back to her home, passing
the sugar cane field where she
takes a snip for the children.
It’s a treat. It’s not good for
their teeth, but it is a treat
where treats are few. Abagail’s
life is hard, but it’s simple. It’s
what she knows.
I had three calendars — in
my purse, in my writing room,
on my office desk — until I
transferred everything to my
phone. Last week my phone

Our View
Roses and thorns
A rose to the Co-
lumbus Arts Council
and its new executive
director, Jan Miller.
The CAC announced
the hiring Wednesday,
about a year after the resignation of
Lynn Brown from the position. Mill-
er, who comes to the CAC from her
role as director of field services for
the Mississippi Main Street Associa-
tion, is a familiar name in Columbus,
having worked at numerous non-prof-
its in Columbus for almost 30 years.
Her institutional knowledge of Co-
lumbus and Lowndes County, along
with her experience in non-profits,
makes her a “home run” hire. We
also acknowledge the contributions
of CAC program manager Beverly
Norris, whose presence as interim
director allowed the CAC to conduct
a thorough search for a permanent
director. The CAC’s track record of
bringing a diverse offering of out-
standing arts programs will only be
enhanced by Miller’s presence.

A thorn to Rep. Jeff

Smith (R, Columbus)
who told an audience
Thursday, “I don’t care
if you like me or not.
It doesn’t make any
difference at this point. You’re stuck
with me right now.” That remark
stunned Columbus Exchange Club
members, who invited Smith, along
with his Republican primary chal-
lenger Dana Underwood McLean,
to make their cases. The statement,
even if dismissed as a misstep, hints
at an arrogant, indifferent attitude
toward voters. Granted, people aren’t
elected to be popular, in some cases–
tough decisions can breed discontent
– but every elected official should
maintain an attitude of gratitude
and respect for those who put them
in office. It is the voters who will
ultimately decide if they are, indeed,
stuck with him.
A rose to the Ok-
tibbeha County Board
of Supervisors – and
residents who kept the
issue alive for almost
25 years – for accepting
a bid for paving Longview Road. The
almost four-miles of unpaved road
that links Highway 25 and Highway
12 just outside the Starkville city
limits is long overdue. After years of
waiting for federal matching funds
that never materialized, the county
was able to convince Mississippi’s
State Aid Roads department to re-
classify the project and open up state
funding to complete the $2.2 million
project. For 25 years, residents on
the road continued to bring this issue
before the supervisors. There is no
question that their persistence was
a key factor in getting the project
moving. We applaud the supervisors
for being open to the needs of the res-
idents and finding a way to get this
project off the ground at long last.

Life sentence for killing at Charlottesville protest

‘I hope he can heal someday and help others heal’
Susan Bro, the mother of killed counterprotester Heather Heyer
By DENISE LAVOIE
AP Legal Affairs Writer
CHARLOT TES-
VILLE, Va. — An avowed
white supremacist who
deliberately drove his
car into a crowd of coun-
terprotesters, killing a
young woman and injur-
ing dozens, apologized to
his victims Friday before
being sentenced to life
in prison on federal hate
crime charges.
James Alex Fields Jr.,
of Maumee, Ohio, had
pleaded guilty in March
to 29 of 30 hate crimes in
connection with the 2017
attack that killed Heather
Heyer and injured more
than two dozen others.
Prosecutors and
Fields’ lawyers agreed
that federal sentencing
guidelines called for a life
sentence. But his attor-
neys asked U.S. District
Judge Michael Urbanski
to consider a sentence of
“less than life,” hoping he
would take into account
Fields’ troubled childhood
and mental health issues.
Just before Urbanski
announced his sentence,
the 22-year-old Fields, ac-
companied by one of his
lawyers, walked to a podi-
um in the courtroom and
apologized.
“Every day I think
about how things could
have gone differently and
how I regret my actions,”
he said. “I’m sorry.”
His comments came af-
ter more than a dozen sur-
vivors of and witnesses to
the attack delivered emo-
tional testimony about
the physical and psycho-
logical wounds they had
received as a result of the
events that day.
“You had a choice to
leave Charlottesville, but
you did not,” said Rosia
Parker, a longtime civil
rights activist in Charlot-
tesville who said she was
standing feet away from
Heyer when Heyer was
struck by Fields’ car.
“You could have done
anything else but what

test the planned removal
of a statue of Confederate

erything that you get.”
Fields appeared stoic
and didn’t look at Parker
or any of the victims as
they spoke.
Heyer’s mother, Su-
san Bro, said she wanted
Fields to spend his life in
prison but also hoped he
would get the medication
he needed and that one
day he would change his
views and no longer sup-
port white supremacy.
“I hope he can heal
someday and help others
heal,” Bro said.
After the hearing, Bro
said she did not believe
Fields’ apology was sin-
cere, but instead was a
last-ditch attempt to get a
lighter sentence.
Fields drove from his
home in Maumee, Ohio,
to attend the “Unite the
Right” rally on Aug. 12,
2017, which drew hun-

she would’ve gotten this far in her
education.
The J.L. King Center has
offered a range of services for
the community since 1994 and
affects between 200 and 300
Starkville families a year. After
losing its main source of funding
in January, its doors will close if
it can’t come up with $30,000 by
Aug. 1.
Alison Buehler, director of the
Homestead Education Center
which partners with J.L. King
Center, and Paul Luckett, chair-
man of the Greater Starkville De-
velopment Partnership, present-
ed plans for fundraising before a
group of area educators, church
staff and interested residents at
the center on North Long Street
Friday.
They want to relaunch J.L.
King as “a true community cen-
ter” that runs primarily on sup-
port from area residents, not
government grants. If the center
had just 1,000 members who paid
$10 a month, “this entire facility
would be funded for the cost of
Netflix,” Luckett said.
“Rather than having to really
weigh heavy on a few people to
carry this thing, we as a commu-
nity can come together and do it,”
he said.
Without a shift in funding, the
center may land in financial detri-
ment once again.
“(Government funding) dries
up, and then we have to close the
doors,” Luckett said.
Beyond ‘bare bones’
The 35-day partial federal
shutdown, that spanned from the
end of 2018 to beginning of 2019,
led to the elimination of a crucial
$150,000 grant the center had
received annually from Families
First, administered by the Mis-
sissippi Department of Human
Services through the Family Re-
source Center in Tupelo.
In late January, the center
received a notice from Family
Resource Center that subgrant
funds were being terminated
immediately and instructing the
program to cease all activities
and expenditures.
The J.L. King Center re-
mained open and continued to

offer full programs with around
$20,000 of additional funding
redirected by Emerson Family
School, a family-centered exten-
sion of Starkville-Oktibbeha Con-
solidated School District.
However, after four months
of operating on the reassigned
funds, the well ran dry. Emerson
had to withdraw from the center
after attempts to secure further
grant funding were unsuccessful.
The total pledge goal for
J.L. King’s capital campaign is
$150,000 to sustain operations
for the next five years, but fund-
raisers need $60,000, the approx-
imate cost of running for a year,

to stay open through the end of
2020. By Friday, half of the short-
term target — around $30,000 —
had been raised.
The center also hopes to se-
cure funds by forming partner-
ships with other organizations in
the community that can help ac-
cess resources and raise aware-
ness of the center. One such part-
nership with EMCC will bring
the college’s Gateway Program,
which teaches essential job skills
such as communication and
teamwork, to J.L. King’s class-
rooms in August, said EMCC
President Scott Alsobrooks.
The program will focus on
job skills local
employers want in
their workforce. A
job in the commu-
nity is guaranteed
upon completion
of the program.
“We want to
come here and Alsobrooks
meet the people where they’re
at … (and) get them started on
an adult ed degree,” Alsobrooks
said. “There are so many possi-
bilities.”
Another way to secure funds
could be to ask program partic-
ipants to pay $5-10 monthly to
help support the J.L. King Cen-
ter, Buehler said.
Luckett and Buehler asked
meeting attendees to create
memberships through the pro-
gram’s website, www.jlkingcen-
ter.com, and encourage others to
do the same.
One attendee asked Luckett if
the center would offer a GED pre-
paratory course to teach students
test-taking strategies, as well as
provide volunteers working in
adult education programs train-
ing specific to the exam.
Buehler said the idea is defi-
nitely something they could con-
sider, but Luckett was more frank
in his response.
“The funding that we current-
ly have is bare bones,” he said.
“The more that we can raise be-
yond $60,000, the more possible
those types of programs are.”

Moore
Continued from Page 1A
NPS, which Dampier
founded with his wife
Caryn, is a World Tae-
kwondo Federation club
that teaches the Korean
Kukkiwon Taekwondo
for free, only charging
fees when a student
moves to a new belt. Since
the first generation of
masters started training
students, those former
students have branched
off, starting clubs of
their own throughout the
nation, including a club in
Starkville.
Each year the orga-
nization holds tests and
competitions at different
clubs. This year it was
Starkville’s club, where
Moore and 20 other can-
didates from clubs around
the country tested for
higher black belt degrees.
They showcased their
form, strength and disci-
pline to the NPS board of
masters who determine
whether candidates will
raise their rankings.
Moore tested for his
third-degree black belt by
teaching the techniques
and formations needed for
that level. He also show-
cased his own talents by
breaking four boards in
quick succession on the
first try.
For Moore, coming one
step closer to becoming
a master, fourth-degree
black belt, means even
more because he’s con-
fined to a wheelchair.
“If I had my legs, I
think I would be less
excited,” Moore said.
“Being in a wheelchair, I
have to actually teach and
learn the stances. Most
people doing the stances,
it’s muscle memory. It’s
a little harder for me. It’s
more exciting for me to
get to this level.”
The injury
Moore teaches Tae-
kwondo in a studio out-
side Atlanta under Master
Susan McKenzie.
In her 20 years of
experience, McKenzie
said she’s never seen
an instructor quite like
Moore.
“He is first, last and
always a Marine,” McK-
enzie said. “He can teach
the high-level kicks better
than anyone I know. He
helps (students) because
how can anyone else
complain? You get to the
place that you forget he’s
even in a chair. He’s just
Mr. Ken.”
Moore served 16
years in the Marines as a
gunnery sergeant. After a
misdiagnosis while serv-
ing in Afghanistan, he
began taking medication
he didn’t need. The medi-
cation caused him to have

Confined to a wheel-
chair, Moore started tak-
ing his son to Taekwondo
and eventually started
to attend those lessons
himself.
“Primarily my job in
the military was a platoon
leader,” Moore said. “One
of my jobs was to teach
them how to fight. (My
son and wife) persuaded
me to start Taekwondo. It
was a pretty easy tran-
sition for me. It really
helped me out a lot. At
that point I could barely
stand. Now I’m able to
stand a lot more. I can’t
walk yet, but you never

‘A self challenge’
Allen McBroom,
Starkville club master,
has known Moore aboiut
five years. He described
Moore as disciplined,
kind and an inspiration to
both his students and his
masters.
“Ken is quiet,” Mc-
Broom said. “He’s a very
low-key guy. He’s humble
but a very dangerous
man. It’s hard not to go on
and on about him. (The
masters) draw inspiration
from (the students). We
get people who are phys-
ically unable to do these
things and then they do.
They think they’re draw-
ing from us, but we are
drawing from them.”
With the organization
spanning across multiple
states, McBroom said
NPS and its members
stay in contact. Knowing
Moore’s story and seeing
his success is one of the
many ways NPS impacts
people, he added.
“Our motto is ordinary
people doing extraordi-
nary things,” McBroom
said. “Almost any person
in here has a story that
would make an inspira-
tional book. This whole
organization helps people
develop focus, physical
coordination, emotional
strength and confidence.
Everything we do appears
to be physical. It’s not. It’s
mental.”
For Moore, neither
his injury nor his wheel-
chair has set him back.
Excited about earning
his third-degree belt, his
main goal is to continue
teaching disciplined
students the art of Tae-
kwondo.

Survey: 2018 turnout high, voters Mississippi Lottery

embrace expansive options
The six states with the lowest voter turnout were Hawaii,
West Virginia, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Texas and Tennessee
By CHRISTINA A.
CASSIDY
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — More
than 120 million Amer-
icans cast ballots in the
2018 midterm elections,
with turnout surging to
that of a typical presiden-
tial year in some states
and the highest percent-
ages of voters in places
that have expanded ac-
cess to the polls, accord-
ing to an analysis of data
released Thursday by the
U.S. Election Assistance
Commission.
The 2018 Election Ad-
ministration and Voting
Survey highlights the de-
centralized nature of U.S.
elections and disparities
within state voting laws.
For instance, 25 states
have passed voting re-
strictions in the last de-
cade while others have
been expanding access
by implementing vote by
mail, same-day voter reg-
istration and other mea-
sures.
In 2018, six states saw
turnout levels exceed 60
percent, when consider-
ing the number of U.S.
citizens eligible to vote,
according to the survey.
Among those were Ore-
gon and Colorado, which
conduct their elections
entirely by mail, consid-
ered one of the more ac-
cessible voting options.
The other four states
provide opportunities to
cast ballots early, allow
voters to register and vote
on Election Day and don’t
require an excuse for ab-
sentee voting.
“I hope that data like
this encourages a race
to the top,” said Myrna
Perez, director of the vot-
ing rights and elections
program at The Bren-
nan Center for Justice
at NYU’s School of Law.
“It’s important to be able
to show that states can
do these reforms and it
works.”
The survey found the
rate of early, in-person
voting more than doubled
since the 2014 election
and vote by mail was used
by one-quarter of the elec-
torate last year.
Voting rights advo-
cates say same-day or
Election Day voter reg-
istration not only elimi-
nates deadlines to regis-
ter weeks in advance of
an election but also allows
voters who have failed to
update their addresses
with election officials to
cast ballots that will be
counted. In many states,
voters who have an is-
sue on Election Day with
their registration, such as
an outdated address, are
given provisional ballots
that may or may not be
counted.
The survey found that,
in 2018, 25 states and the
District of Columbia had
policies rejecting such
ballots cast by voters out-
side their assigned pre-
cinct.
The six states with the
lowest percentage of vot-
er turnout were Hawaii,
West Virginia, Oklahoma,
Mississippi, Texas and
Tennessee.
Of those, Mississippi
and Tennessee have strict
photo ID requirements
for voters, which critics
say can limit voter partici-
pation among college stu-
dents who live on campus
in another state and don’t
need an in-state driver’s
license; the elderly who
no longer drive and let
their licenses expire; and
those who rely on public
transportation and may
have difficulty taking
time off from work to ob-
tain a driver’s license.
aims for Dec. 1
start of ticket sales
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A new Mississippi Lottery could
start selling scratch-off tickets Dec. 1.
The state’s lottery corporation announced the
intended starting date in a news release Thurs-
day.
The group also said it is seeking proposals
from experienced vendors for lottery game prod-
ucts and services that allow for multistate games
such as Powerball, and for instant scratch-off lot-
tery ticket services.
The lottery director, Tom Shaheen, tells The
Associated Press on Friday that the sale of tick-
ets for multistate games could begin in 2020.
Mississippi had been one of six states without

June marked a sharp
about-face from May, when
traders fled to safer hold-
ings because of increased
anxiety over the trade war
between the U.S. and Chi-
na, and signs of slowing
global economic growth.
Despite lingering wor-
ries over trade, investors
pushed stocks higher for
much of this month after
the Federal Reserve raised
expectations that it is pre-
pared to cut interest rates
if needed to keep the econ-
omy growing. That drove
the benchmark S&P 500 to
an all-time high last week,
though it has retreated
slightly from that mark.
Even after the roll-

S
TARKVILLE — For Blair
Schaefer, something was
missing.
After finishing her standout
four years as a guard playing for
the Mississippi State women’s
basketball team, Schaefer had
decided to pursue a career in
television.
That path first took her to
WCBI, the Columbus-based
CBS affiliate, where she covered
local news and sports. She also
worked as a color commentator
and analyst for SEC Network
covering women’s college
basketball and even helped with
ESPN’s coverage of the NCA A
women’s basketball tournament.
When she was on the side-
lines, breaking down games
for the viewing audience, that’s
when it really hit her that she
wanted something more.
“It just felt like no matter
how big the stage, my heart was
always with athletes,” Schae-
fer said. “And I kept thinking
throughout the games as I was
calling them, ‘I wish I could talk
to the athletes instead of telling
the public what I’m seeing.’ I felt
like my purpose was deeper than
what I was doing.”
Ultimately, that drive brought
her back to Starkville – to a Mis-
sissippi State program where the
Schaefer name carries weight for
a number of reasons.
Her father, Vic Schaefer, led
MSU to consecutive national
championship game appearances
in 2017 and 2018.
Blair played on both of those

teams, earning accolades and
creating moments in her own
right that will live in Bulldog
lore. She was a sure-handed
three-point shooter from the
corner and had a knack for
creating turnovers on defense by
taking charges. Hers was one of
the more prominent faces of the
“blue-collar” brand of basketball
her father had successfully sold
to the ever-appreciative, and
ever-growing, Bulldog fan base.
Now, Blair walks the halls at
Humphrey Coliseum in a new
role with the team – coordinator
for player development.
“Being through the program
here at Mississippi State I know
exactly how (we) want things,”
she said. “So just to be back

Victory Christian’s Tate signs with Delta State

Defensive end tallied 88 tackles his senior year
BY BEN PORTNOY

Michael Tate had been waiting for
this day.
Sitting in front of gathered family
and friends, Tate made his pledge of-
ficial as he signed Friday afternoon to
play college football at Delta State Uni-
versity.
Tate, a defensive end who graduat-
ed this spring from Victory Christian
Academy in Columbus, said the recruit-
ing process was long and winding, but
he felt Delta State in Cleveland was the
place for him.
“I was excited for it,” he said. “I was
just glad I got to sign because a lot of
folks thought I wouldn’t sign. I’m just
glad I got to sign. It’s a blessing.”
Helping the Eagles to a 4-4 record
his senior season, Tate tallied three
sacks, 88 tackles and one pass deflect-
ed. He was named the Christian Foot-
ball Association Defensive Player of the
Year for his efforts.
Despite the big numbers, Victory
Christian coach Chris Hamm said they
don’t necessarily do his on-field domi-
nance justice.

Women’s World Cup Soccer
Megan Rapinoe is being, well, Megan
Rapinoe at the World Cup
By ANNE M. PETERSON
The Associated Press
PARIS — With a colorful vo-
cabulary and manner to match her
pinkish-purple hair, Megan Rapi-
noe stands out simply by being Me-
gan Rapinoe.
She celebrated
her two goals in the
quarterfinal match
against France at the
Women’s World Cup
by raising both arms
in victory, reminis-
cent of Russell Crowe Rapinoe
in “Gladiator.” Are
you not entertained?
She spawned many memes in the
process.
“She’s just a big personality both
on and off the pitch,” coach Jill El-
lis said. “And I think she honestly
thrives in these moments.”
In securing the 2-1 victory that
knocked the hosts out of the tourna-
ment, the United States now moves
on to a semifinal match against En-
gland on Tuesday in Lyon. If they
can get past the Lionesses, the
Americans will get a shot at their
second straight World Cup title and
fourth overall in a July 7 final.
From a high-profile battle with
U.S. Soccer over equal pay back
home, to the exuberant celebration
of every goal in the 13-0 tourna-
ment opener against Thailand, the
U.S. team is unapologetically brash
and confident.
If anyone embodies the U.S.
ethos, it’s Rapinoe.
She has five goals in this World
Cup, tying her with teammate Alex
Morgan, England’s Ellen White
and Australia’s Sam Kerr for the
tournament lead. She is the first
player to score two goals in back-to-
back games since Brazil’s Marta in
2007: Rapinoe also scored twice in
a 2-1 victory over Spain to open the
round of 16.
And sometimes she gets just as
much attention for what she does
away from the game.
Rapinoe was at the center of a
controversy in the days leading up
to what was called Le Grand Match

NBA
It begins: NBA free agency Griner scores 23 points, Mercury
finally starts today hit 10 3s in win over Fever
By TIM REYNOLDS
The Associate Press
Kawhi Leonard is plan-
ning meetings in Los An-
geles. Kevin Durant will
do the same in New York.
Those are the cities
where they’ll begin free
agency.
Where they will end
it will finally start to get
clearer soon.
NBA teams will start
opening their checkbooks
today at 6 p.m. EDT, when
the negotiating window
for one of the most hot-
ly anticipated free-agent
periods begins and with
more than 200 players
— including two dozen
players with at least one
All-Star appearance — el-
igible to change teams in
the coming weeks.
“Some people could
say, ‘Oh my God, look
at all that player move-
ment,’” NBA Commis-
sioner Adam Silver said
during this past season.
“On the other hand, that
player movement could
be very positive for a lot of
teams.”
Leonard, Durant, Kem-
ba Walker, Klay Thomp-
son, Nikola Vucevic, Al
Horford and Khris Mid-
dleton are among the top
players who will be decid-
ing whether to change ad-
dresses or not. Boston ap-
parently knows it will be
losing Kyrie Irving, since
a person with knowledge
of the situation told The
Associated Press on
Saturday that fellow All-
Star point guard Kemba
Walker has informed the
Charlotte Hornets that
he’s leaving them for the
Celtics. Irving’s focus is
believed to be on joining
the Brooklyn Nets.
No deals can be signed
until July 6 because of
the league’s annual mor-
atorium, though players
and teams can enter into
agreements starting Sun-
day.
“There’s a lot of obvi-
ously decisions that will
go into the summer,”
Golden State guard Ste-
phen Curry said. “And
we’ll deal with those ac-
cordingly.”
Everyone will, and
won’t have a choice.
Changes could shift
the balance of NBA power
considerably — especially
if Durant leaves the War-
riors and Leonard leaves
the NBA champion Toron-
to Raptors. Durant will be
pursued by the Brooklyn
Nets, New York Knicks
and Los Angeles Clippers
along with Golden State;
Leonard is likely to hear
pitches from the Los An-
geles Lakers, the Clippers
and the Raptors.
Durant and Leonard
were asked countless
times this past season
about their free-agent
plans.
Neither offered much
of a hint.

‘I know how to play’: Serena Custer wins at

says she’s ready for Wimbledon Chicagoland for 4th
By HOWARD FENDRICH “She didn’t do anything, really, round, Williams could face No. 18
The Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England — It’s Xfinity Series victory

hard to know exactly what Serena
Williams will be able to do over the
next two weeks at the All England
Club.
On the one hand,
due at least in part to
an injured left knee,
Williams is short on
matches and train-
ing time this season,
factors she cited after
her third-round exit Williams
June 1 at the French
Open, her most recent tournament.
She has only 12 tour-level match-
es so far in 2019. Just four of the
other 127 women in the Wimbledon
field have fewer; 105 have at least
twice as many.
Even Saturday — when she de-
clared she’s “feeling better” and her
coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, said
the 37-year-old American “doesn’t
have pain anymore” — Williams let
out a chuckle when she proclaimed,
“I’ve had a good week and a half.”
Hardly the ideal amount of prac-
tice to try to get ready for Grand
Slam competition.
And yet, on the other hand, as
Williams put it with a wry smile, “I
know how to play tennis.”
Yes. Yes, she does.
This is, after all, a seven-time
champion and three-time run-
ner-up, including last year, on the
grass at Wimbledon, where play be-
gins Monday. She also is the owner
of 23 Grand Slam singles trophies
in all, more than anyone else in
the professional era and one shy of
equaling Margaret Court’s record
for the most in tennis history.
like what she usually does, in terms
of results this year. Even in Austra-
lia, she lost quite early for her, the
quarters. So she hasn’t played her
best,” Mouratoglou said, before ut-
tering a single sentence that speaks
volumes: “But she’s Serena.”
“And,” he added in an interview,
“the weapons she has are probably
even more efficient on grass than on
any other surface.”
After the French Open, and her
earliest loss at any major since 2014,
Williams stuck around in Paris to
see doctors.
Then, as usual, she skipped all
tuneup events on grass. Williams
started practicing in the middle of
last week, starting with about a half-
hour on court on Day 1 and working
her way up to a couple of hours, plus
gym time, by Day 4.
“The great news is she’s pain-
free now. In Roland Garros, she was
in a lot of pain. The preparation was
difficult because of that reason. So
we were more trying to deal with
the pain, rather than prepare for
a Grand Slam,” Mouratoglou said.
“Here, it’s different. We got rid of
the pain 15 days after Roland Garros
and we finally prepared the way we
want to prepare. It was a bit short,
but she’s doing better every day. The
surface is great for her. She doesn’t
have pain anymore. It’s heaven.”
Williams could get a chance to
ease into things. Her first-round
opponent is qualifier Giulia Gat-
to-Monticone of Italy, who will be
making her debut in Wimbledon’s
main draw. Next might come anoth-
er qualifier.
Then things should get more
interesting. Quickly. In the third

Nate Lashley opens 6-shot lead in Rocket Mortgage Classic
By LARRY LAGE
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Nate
Lashley shot a bogey-free,
9-under 63 on Saturday
to open a six-stroke lead
in the Rocket Mortgage
Classic at 23-under 193.
The 36-year-old Lash-
ley slipped into the field
at Detroit Golf Club as an
alternate and the 353rd-
ranked player has put him-
self in position to win for
the first time on the PGA
Tour. He tied for eighth
in February in the Puer-
to Rico Open — played
opposite the World Golf
Championships-Mexico
Championship — for his
only top-10 finish on the
tour.
Lashley, the first- and
second-round leader,
started Saturday with a
one-shot lead and pulled
away with the low round
of the day.
J.T. Poston (66) was
second. Cameron Trin-
gale (65) was another
stroke back.
Lashley is in his second
season on the PGA Tour,
reaching the highest level
of golf after a long road
that included tragedy ,
selling real estate and
playing in the PGA Tour’s
minor leagues.
After watching Lashley
play in a tournament for
the University of Arizona
in 2004, his parents and
girlfriend died in a plane
crash in Wyoming. Rod
and Char Lashley along
with Leslie Hofmeister,
all of Scottsbluff, Nebras-
ka, were missing for three
days before their bodies
and the wreckage were
found near the 13,780-foot
Gannett Peak.
Lashley, who is from
Nebraska, made a liv-
ing as a real estate agent
after graduating from
college and his playing
career started, stopped
and resumed again. He
won the Waterloo Open, a
professional tournament,
in Iowa in 2011 and quit
competitive golf the next
year. Lashley gave the
game another shot, play-
ing on the PGA Tour Lati-
noamérica circuit in 2015
and moved up to what is
now called the Korn Ferry
Tour two years later.
He made his PGA Tour
debut last season in his
mid-30s, but he had to end
his year after 17 events
because of a knee injury.
Lashley is not long off
the tee, ranking among
the middle of the pack at
Detroit Golf Club. He has
been spectacularly accu-
rate on his approach shots
into receptive greens, set-
ting him for a lot of rela-
tively short putts that he’s
making.
When Lashley did take
chances, he was able to
make shots.
His drive on the 559-
yard, par-5 seventh land-
ed in an adjacent fairway,
leaving him with the
choice of hitting a shot
low below branches or
sending the ball over tow-
ering trees and toward
the green. He chose to
go high and cleared the
trees, leaving him 120
feet from the pin. Lash-
ley’s approach landed just
4 feet from the cup and he
made the putt for birdie.
He had birdies on four
of his first seven holes and
had five more on the back
nine in the third round.
He opened the Rocket
Mortgage Classic with a
63, setting a career low
he matched Saturday. He
shot a 67 in the second
round.

in practice that wanted to practice
perfect, she wanted play perfect,” Vic
told The Dispatch. “She understood the
importance of the little things and we
need people like her in our program.
We need people like her in our athletic
department. So I was extremely happy.”
With basketball season still in
swing, the two temporarily tabled the
idea. Soon after the Bulldogs’ run in
the NCA A tournament ended with a
regional final loss to Oregon, Blair
met with MSU Athletic Director John
Cohen to sort out a position that would
fit. They settled on coordinator for
player development. She began work in
mid-May.
Blair’s day-to-day tasks vary —
whether it is speaking with residence
assistants about housing for the players
or helping to organize recruiting port-
folios or community service opportu-
nities.
“Although it’s not a coaching posi-
tion, it’s a beginners’ coaching posi-
tion,” Blair said. “And I’m able to still
observe and see how it’s done the right
way and start to think from the other
side of the court.”
Learning from the best
While Blair is still fresh on the job,
there are plenty of mentors within the
MSU coaching ranks for her to emu-
late.
At the top of the chain is her father.
Vic has completely overhauled the

um. During her four-year career as a Bulldog player, Schaefer played on squads that
reached the national championship game in 2017 and 2018.
trajectory of the women’s program in
his six years at the helm. His first team
in Starkville posted a losing record, but
the program has quickly turned into
one that packs Humphrey Coliseum
and perennially competes among the
nation’s elite.
“I just think it’s a great opportunity,”
Blair said of working with her dad.
“Some people say ‘Oh I could never
play for my dad or work for my dad.’ It
takes a special relationship — and we
Photo courtesy of MSU Athletics
have that — so why not learn from the
best? It’s not like he’s an average coach.
If I can learn from the best then I want
to stay here and do that. The fact that
he’s my dad, that’s just a bonus.”
There are also assistant coaches
Dominique Dillingham and Ketara
Chapel, both former teammates of
Blair’s. Both were seniors on the
2017 squad that ended Connecticut’s
111-game winning streak with a Final
Four victory that propelled the Bull-
dog program to its first national title
appearance.
Dillingham is now the video coordi-
nator for the team. Chapel is a graduate
assistant for her former coach.
“You want to expose these young
coaches to the total program,” Vic said.
“Everybody thinks it’s just coaching,
it’s just practice. They don’t realize
what all goes on in an office on a daily
basis, the recruiting piece, the social
piece, the development of these young
ladies on and off the floor.
“I think that’s what we do with our
young coaches is we try to expose
them to the total program and let them
learn and see firsthand what takes
place every day so that they realize it’s
more than just going out to practice it’s
more than showing up for a game,” he
continued. “There’s a lot that goes into
running a top-10 program day-in and
day-out. And now they’re a part of that
and they have a role in that.”
Currently Blair is in Italy accompa-
nying MSU as they represent the Unit-
ed States in the 2019 Summer World
University Games.
The daily grind and ever-changing
nature of her position persists, but
there’s a sense of correctness in her
new role. The comfort that she lacked
in television has now been rediscovered
in basketball.
“I just feel like it’s surreal,” Schaefer
said of being back at MSU. “It’s where
I’m supposed to be.”

Ye Olde Slugfest: Yanks top Red

Sox 17-13 in MLB Euro debut
By RONALD BLUM
The Associated Press
LONDON — Rest assured, British
fans: Most baseball games are not like
this, not even the crazy ones between the
New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
Major League Baseball arrived in
Europe on Saturday night with Ye Olde
Slugfest. Each team scored six runs
in a first inning that lasted nearly an
hour, with Aaron Hicks hitting the first
European homer . Brett Gardner had a
tiebreaking, two-run drive in the third,
Aaron Judge went deep to cap a six-run
fourth and the Yankees outlasted their
rivals 17-13 in a game that stretched for
4 hours, 42 minutes — 3 minutes shy of
the record for a nine-inning game.
“Well, cricket takes like all weekend
to play, right? So, I’m sure a lot of people
are used to it,” Yankees manager Aaron
Boone said. “We should remind them
there’s not 30 runs every game.”
Before a sellout crowd of 59,659 at
Olympic Stadium that included sup-
porters from Britain, Beantown and the
Big Apple plus royalty, batters behaved
like good tourists and minded the gaps
— and the fences. As a Union Jack flut-
tered above center field along with the
Stars and Stripes, both teams jacked and
jacked and jacked.
“I think we’re getting as good a re-
ception as football has for the last couple
years,” Yankees first baseman Luke Voit
said.
AL batting leader DJ LeMahieu had
four hits and five RBIs , including a
three-run double in the fourth and a two-
run single in the fifth that opened a 17-6
lead. Voit had four hits, including three
doubles, before leaving with a left ab-
dominal injury in the fifth. He’ll be evalu-
ated before Sunday’s series finale.
No British reserve with these offens-
es. Hicks was especially proud to hit the
first homer.
“That’s something they can never
take from me,” he said.
New York set season highs for runs
and hits by the fifth inning and outhit
Boston 19-18 overall as both teams bat-
ted around twice. The 30 runs were the
most in a big league game since Boston
beat Baltimore 19-12 last Aug. 10, ac-
cording to STATS.
Red Sox rookie Michael Chavis hit a
pair of three-run homers, the second in a
six-run seventh .
“Definitely the biggest crowd I’ve
played in front of. The loudest, as well,”
Chavis said. “With the overhang, there
was kind of an echo.”
Jackie Bradley Jr. had four hits, in-
cluding a home run . Boston shortstop
Xander Bogaerts left in the eighth after
calf muscles in both legs cramped , then
said he should be available Sunday.
Boston starter Rick Porcello and New
York’s Masahiro Tanaka got hammered
— fittingly in the home of the Premier
League soccer club West Ham, nick-
named the Hammers. Neither got out
of a first inning that lasted 58 minutes
and included 20 batters and 94 pitches.
It took 1:51 to play the first three innings
and 2:58 for 4½, but unlike in cricket, the
teams did not break for tea.
Zack Britton retired Marco Hernan-
dez on a bases-loaded grounder that end-
ed the eighth, and Sam Travis hit into a
game-ending double play against Aroldis
Chapman on the 422nd pitch.
Chad Green (2-2) allowed four hits in
two scoreless innings. Steven Wright (0-

for a positive drug test.
New York won for the 12th time in 13
games, maintained a seven-game lead
over second-place Tampa Bay in the AL
East and reached the halfway mark at 53-
28, one fewer win than at last year’s mid-
point. The defending World Series cham-
pion Red Sox dropped a season-high 10
games back at 44-39.
The 2,200th regular-season meeting
between the teams was a scorcher — the
hottest day of the year in London at 93
degrees Fahrenheit (34 Celsius), and
still 92 when the first pitch was thrown at
6:10 p.m. And it was the first on artificial
turf.

Justices won’t revive Ala. ban on abortion procedure
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Supreme Court won’t revive
Alabama’s attempt to ban
the most commonly used
procedure in second-tri-
mester abortions after the
measure was blocked by
lower courts.
The justices on Friday
rejected the state’s appeal
and declined to review a
lower court ruling that
blocked the law. The 2016
Alabama law sought to
ban the abortion proce-
dure known as dilation and
evacuation, a procedure Al-
abama referred to in court
filings as “dismemberment
abortion.”
Lower courts have
blocked similar laws in
Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisi-
ana, Texas and Arkansas,
but this was the first case
to go before the Supreme
Court, according to the
American Civil Liberties
Union, which challenged
the Alabama law.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A for-
mer New York City police
detective who was a lead-
er in the fight for the Sept.
11 Victims Compensation
Fund died Saturday at age
53.
Detective Luis Alva-
rez’s death from cancer
was announced by Chief
of Detectives Dermot
Shea, who tweeted that
Alvarez was “an inspira-
tion, a warrior, a friend.”
Alvarez appeared with
former “Daily Show” host
Jon Stewart earlier this
month to plead with Con-
gress to extend the com-
pensation fund.
“This fund isn’t a ticket
to paradise, it’s to provide
our families with care,” a
frail Alvarez told a House
Judiciary subcommittee
June 11. He added, “You
all said you would never
forget. Well, I’m here to
make sure that you don’t.”
Alvarez was admitted
to a hospice in Rockville
Centre on Long Island
within a few days of his
testimony.

93 percent of abortions in
Alabama occur before 15
weeks of pregnancy. For
the 7 percent of abortions
that occur later, almost all
are by dilation and evacua-
tion.
Randall Marshall, exec-
utive director of the Amer-
ican Civil Liberties Union
of Alabama, said the ban
would have effectively end-
ed access to second trimes-
ter abortions in Alabama if
it had been allowed to take
effect.
“We are not surprised
by the Supreme Court’s
decision to deny reviewing
this case. In doing so, they
are upholding the Supreme
Court’s own precedent
in protecting a woman’s
right to access the health-
care she needs. A woman’s
health, not Alabama politi-
cians, should drive person-
al medical decisions,” Mar-
shall said.
Planned Parenthood
said the decision was a vic-
tory for abortion access in
the state, but warned of the

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: My
son and his
fiancée, “Brean-
na,” have planned a
destination wedding
in another country.
Breanna’s mother’s
family vacations there
every couple of years,
so they decided to
have the wedding there
when her extended
family will be vacation-
ing.
The reason Brean-
na gave me was that
Dear Abby
she is embarrassed
by some of my family members and
doesn’t want to introduce them to
her family, so a destination wedding
eliminates those people from
attending. When I told
Breanna’s stepfather
what she said, Brean-
na denied ever making
the statement!
I told my son how
hurt I am that she
doesn’t want our side
of the family to attend
(including his father,
brother and myself),
since the cost for
travel and accom-
modations will be
approximately $3,500
per person. He said he
doesn’t want to ruin
her special day and changed the
subject.
I would love to see my son get
married (even though I have a bitter
taste in my mouth), but we can’t
afford to attend unless we take out
a second mortgage or dip into our
401(k). Are we bad parents for not
attending our own son’s wedding?
— STRUGGLING MOTHER OF THE
GROOM
DEAR MOTHER: That your son’s
fiancée verbalized what she did
is shocking. It shows how little
respect she has for your feelings
and her lack of manners or class. A
marriage is supposed to be a blend-
ing of TWO families, something this
young woman — and her family
— appears unwilling or unable to
recognize. That your son would
accept this because THEIR wedding
is “her” day is disappointing. Under
the circumstances, you and your
family should not go into debt to
attend this wedding.
DEAR ABBY: I am a father of
four. My sons are 62 and 52. The
older one calls me about every two
months; the younger one hasn’t
called me in nearly two years. One
of my daughters last spoke to me
three years ago. My remaining child,
a daughter, stays in regular contact
with me about once a week. They all
live far away out west. I have tried
to contact each of my children lov-
ingly, but have not been successful
for the most part.
I now have end-stage cardiac dis-
ease and will soon be joining hos-
pice. When I do that, I’ll be faced
with the decision of how much to
tell my kids about my condition. In
view of our distant relationships, I’m
not inclined to tell them very much,
since they have been so unrespon-
sive in the past. I would welcome
your suggestions. — PONDERING IN
PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR PONDERING: I am sorry
about your diagnosis. I don’t know
whether something caused the dis-
tance between you and your three
older children, or whether they are
completely focused on themselves
and their own lives. I do think you
should disclose to all of them what
is going on so amends can be made
if possible. And, of course, the
daughter who is close to you should
know so she can be as supportive
as she has always been and begin
preparing herself emotionally for
what is coming. She may also be
helpful in spreading the word among
her siblings.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 30).
You’re ready to work, and just as
soon as you dive into July’s new
project, you start finding better,
faster, cheaper ways to get it done.
You’ll teach what you discover, and
this opens up new horizons for you,
too. Emotional closeness, new
friends and tighter connections with
old ones will be the true wealth of
2020. Aquarius and Libra adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 22,
1 and 7.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
There’s no time to waste in such
unproductive practices as placing
the blame, ducking responsibility and
punishing the guilty. You’re far more
interested in figuring out how to work
together.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Only
the most confident will actually ask
how they’re doing. It takes courage
to solicit feedback! Even if you don’t
ask directly, pay close attention to
the effect you’re having on others.
Their reactions are your best teach-
ers.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
make decisions so quickly others as-
sume you’re going with your gut. It’s
far more intricate than that. You have
an elaborate (though mostly subcon-
scious) way to process information,
and it’s right on the money today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
social demands of the day involve
a certain effusiveness that’s right
in line with what you love to deliver.
Even so, after all the excitement,
you’ll need time to recharge and be
alone.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The art of
negotiating is your forte. You’ll think
of uncommon and brilliant ways to
make a situation work. Where there’s
an agreement to be struck, you’ll do
it with style.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Keep
a journal and suddenly you’re a jour-
nalist! Draw a picture and you’re an
artist. Make people laugh and you’re
a comedian. You’ll be so many things
over the course of this day, and peo-
ple love the surprise of you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There
comes a point in every venture when
there’s nothing more you can do or
are willing to do to influence the out-
come. There’s a strange mix of relief
and apprehension that comes in the
moment you leave it to the fates.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Keep to your course. Stay in good
spirits. Treat yourself well. Do what it
takes to remain flexible, strong and
ready. Success will soon be yours.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Maybe you don’t feel completely
understood, but this is a process.
People want to connect with you.
As you relate to more people, you’ll
figure out how to put yourself across
so they learn quickly who you are.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
What sets you apart from the compe-
tition is the attention and specificity
you give to your pursuits. You apply
highly selective criteria to the choic-
es you make, and this elevates your
work to the level of artistry.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If
there’s one thing to do for yourself to
make your life more enjoyable, less
stressful and better all around, it’s
to get excellent and plentiful sleep.
There are actually many steps need-
ed to make this happen, all doable.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Instead of fixing what’s broken, you’ll
focus on what works really well, and
you’ll maximize the potential there,
making that thing so completely
awesome that it overshadows all the
rest.

for years to teach EMCC Adult
Education classes. Hours of
operation are Monday through
Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
New programs offered
include some geared towards
helping students garner skills
needed to find meaningful
employment. The Gateway
program, for example, provides
paid internships to students at
no cost to participating busi-

“We will be reaching out to
Noxubee County businesses
who would like to partner with
us on the paid internships,”
Macon resident Shaleta Odeneal, left, goes over paperwork with
East Mississippi Community College Macon Center Director Aman-

required of both Adult Edu-
cation and Gateway program
students. Students are taught
employability skills and, upon
completion, receive a creden-
tial from the state of Missis-
sippi.
“Students are taught time
management, communication
skills, necessary skills, resume
prepping and how to complete
a job application,” Crawford
said. “They also learn best

Keep gardens CLUB NOTE

looking their best

all summer long
BY MELINDA MYERS
Special to The Dispatch

A
bit of grooming and care will keep flower
gardens looking their best throughout the
hot summer months and into fall.
Remove the flower stems of salvias, veronicas
and similar flowers as the blooms begin to fade.
Use a pruner or sharp garden scissors and cut
just above the first set of leaves or above the side
shoots where new flower buds are forming.
Cut back flopping perennials that have fin-
ished their second flush of flowers. New growth
will be sturdier, more compact and eventually
covered with blooms.
Plants like daylilies and balloon flower require
a bit different care. Remove individual blooms
as they fade for maximum beauty. Once all the
individual flowers have bloomed out, you can cut
the flower stem back at the base.
Keep coral bells tidy and many varieties
blooming longer with a bit of deadheading. Re-

back to 6 inches throughout June and into early
July in southern regions for compact plants and
an attractive fall display.
Further improve the garden’s beauty by re-

sharp scissors or a hand pruner.
A bit of pinching and pruning now as various
flowers fade will extend the beauty and your
enjoyment throughout summer and into fall.

T
he story goes
something
like this: In
his excitement to
kill the rattlesnake
that was making its
escape across the
road, the man used
the only thing he Burger
had available — his
thermos bottle. The next scene in
this drama has the man in the hos-
pital receiving antivenom to treat a
snake bite.
Encounters with wildlife are
becoming more common in towns
and neighborhoods as urbaniza-
tion increases. Habitat loss to
fragmentation, urbanization and
expanding agricultural production
means urban and suburban areas
are becoming options for wildlife
searching for new homes. It is not
just snakes, but also coyotes, foxes,
raccoons, deer and even bears.
Many people — like the ther-
mos-wielding man in the story
— may not realize that snakes are
beneficial. Snakes eat insect pests
as well as rodents that can serve as
vectors for parasites and infectious
diseases that may be transmitted
to people.
A venomous snake hanging
around the backyard would be a
cause for concern. But since only
20 of the estimated 127 species
in North America are venomous,
the probability of encountering a
venomous snake is low.
On the other hand, most people
aren’t worried about a cute raccoon
eating out of the cat’s outdoor food
dish. However, that same animal
could be a carrier for rabies,
parasites, influenza, salmonella or
other pathogens that are issues for
people and their household pets.
This does not mean people
should be afraid of wildlife. People
generally do enjoy wildlife, wheth-
Wild animals like raccoons are often seen in residential settings, but it is
best for all if they are not treated like pets.
er watching birds at a feeder or
sharks on television. Rather than
being fearful, people should in-
stead be aware and respectful.
What should people know?
Some folks want to create space
for nature by offering the food,
shelter and water that animals are
seeking. Bird feeders, pollinator
plantings, (unchlorinated) water
features, and native trees and
shrubs can be artfully incorpo-
rated into landscaping to provide
beauty and supply backyard
habitats.
This supplemental support is
different from caring for wild ani-
mals as if they were domesticated.
Deliberately feeding animals like
squirrels, deer or raccoons can cre-
ate a hazardous situation for people
and wildlife.
Homeowners who don’t want
any furry or scaly visitors should
be mindful not to provide food or
shelter — such as outdoor pet food
bowls or stacks of firewood — that

may attract these creatures.
If a wild animal does appear
in your yard, the best option for
a peaceful encounter is to give it
space. Most animals, if they are not
used to people, will either escape
the imminent danger humans pose
or hide until the coast is clear for
them to leave. It is when people
move in closer — whether acci-
dentally through unawareness or
intentionally to help or harm —
that a wild animal will feel the need
to defend itself.
If an unwanted guest does not
move on, it is best to contact local
wildlife experts for their assis-
tance. Not only will this avert any
unwanted injuries to people or
animals, it will also prevent any
unintentional violations of the state
and federal laws that protect most
wildlife.
Wildlife in urban and suburban
areas are a mixed blessing. Coex-
istence is possible when common
sense and research-based manage-
ment practices are used to protect
both people and wildlife.

In the garden with Felder

Yes, plants can thrive indoors

B
ig Jim, my old
rubber tree,
just turned 45,
and still looks great
because of a unique
Doctor Who ability
to start over when
necessary.
When the
tropical tree, which
wants to be big
enough for the
Swiss Family Rob- Felder Rushing
inson to live in, gets
too large to fit in my
cabin, I simply prune it back to
leafless brown stumps. Looks
shocking, but within weeks,
out sprouts strong new stems
with lustrous leaves. I’ve done
this maybe 10 times over the
decades.
That’s not really harsh; we
do it with overgrown azaleas,
crape myrtles, roses, hollies
and other shrubs all the time,
and they come back stronger
than ever.
And this is a good time,
actually getting close to the
last call, to whack old shrubs
back. This is especially true
of spring-blooming
azaleas, blueberries
and the like, which
need extra time
to set flower buds
for next spring. Be
sure to come back
after a few weeks
to “tip prune” the
new growth to make
it bushy instead
of long and leggy.
No pruning past
mid-August.
But back to Big
Jim. He and a couple others
have survived under my care
since the 1970s, which is more
testament to their desire to
survive than my gardening
skills. Though it’s possible to
nurture and coax finicky plants
like orchids, African violets,
poinsettias and the like to sur-
vive indoors, if neglected just
once they can quickly decline
and become fit only for the
compost.
Plants grown indoors need
simple things: Warmth, decent
light, pretty good potting soil,
an occasional feeding, watering

Grouping low-light loving plants
together indoors ups the humid-
ity they need to survive.
when needed, and — this is the
real kicker for most — humid-
ity.
Plants can tolerate more of
less of all those, with varying
results, especially if kept in
the bright light near south or
west facing windows, or right in
east windows; some with broad
leaves will get leggy but can
survive at least for a while, even
near office lamps.
And some don’t need a lot of
water, if they are in decent soil,
just an occasional soaking. And
anyone who has ever neglect-
ed an old plant will agree that
many can go years without
fertilizer, though they don’t
perform all that well.
But air conditioning and
central heating pull away the
last straw for those plants that
are native to tropical jungles
or misty mountains and simply
can’t survive without humidity.
And misting only helps for a
few minutes, until it evaporates.
What I do is cluster plants
close together, sometimes
pots-in-pots, which looks more
natural but more importantly
creates a humid micro-climate,
and make sure the dry air from
the AC and heater is diverted
away from their foliage.
But my real success is in
choosing plants that tolerate all
those conditions, including low
humidity. And there are more
than enough to satisfy most
plant lovers.
By the way, potted plants
do not improve air quality
appreciably, unless you live in
a closed space station. Air con-
ditioning, or just open windows
or doors, negates the minor
benefits. Really. But they do lift
spirits of folks who are other-
wise out of touch with Nature
and need a greenery lift.
My short list includes rubber
tree, Sansevieria, dwarf Shef-
flera, Philodendron, Dracaena,
Pothos, Sedums, Chinese ever-
green (Aglaonema), wax Hoya,
Aloe, night blooming cereus,
dumb cane (Dieffenbachia),
begonias, and a newcomer
simply called ZZ plant. There
are others, of course, but I’ve
grown these for many years
and find them to be close to
unkillable near a window, out of
the heater draft.
And all those can be rejuve-
nated every now and then with
a hard whacking. Old Big Jim is
my proof.
