SDI, others contribute steel roof to Habitat home

‘This roof will be there for a long, long time’
BY SLIM SMITH

Slowly, but surely, the little
house on 12th Avenue North is
taking shape.
The slab has been poured
and the house has been framed
and wired. The plumbing and
exterior siding has been in-
stalled.
Kathy Arinder, director of
the Columbus-Lowndes Habitat
for Humanity, hopes to have the
house completed in June.
On Tuesday, workers pre-
pared to put the roof on the
home, which is a milestone in
its own right.
When finished, it will be the
49th home built by the group
since it was chartered in 1990.

Council hires 6 seasonal parks workers in spite of freeze

Temporary employees will help with summer day camps
By Amanda Lien
alien@cdispatch.com
Columbus councilmen voted
5-1 Tuesday to hire six tempo-
rary workers to staff Parks and
Recreation summer programs
despite the city operating under
a hiring freeze.
Greg Lewis, Parks and Rec-
reation director, requested city
council approve the hiring of
seasonal workers at $8 an hour
for nine weeks to staff programs
for children ages 5 to 13. Those
programs include two summer
day camps at Townsend Park
and another at Propst Park.
He said “the only reason” he
brought the request is because
the programs cannot function
without those seasonal employ-
ees.
“I know this is not the ideal
time to bring this up,” Lewis
said. “But it’s a pretty big liabil-
ity issue to have only one staff
member in a program with as
many as 60 kids.”
Each camper pays $75 to at-
tend the camps, and Lewis said
some of the fee collection would
help pay the workers.
“We use that money for
snacks, supplies, whatever we
need for the program, but what-
ever is left after that goes right
back into the general fund,” he
said.
Ward 6 Councilman Bill
Gavin opposed the expense
because he believes the city
should “stick to” its hiring
freeze.
“We voted for a hiring freeze,
and I follow the rules,” Gavin
said. “… I know (the summer
programs) are probably going
to pay for themselves, but it’s
hard to say yes to one (thing)
and no to the others.”
Ward 2 Councilman Joseph
Mickens, however, said he
considers the summer camps
— and the seasonal workers to
staff them — necessary.
“I think it’s something bet-
ter for kids to do as opposed to
running around on the streets
or doing whatever it is they do
in the summer,” he said. “The
programs have been going on
before and the kids and their
parents rely on it.”
The council implemented
the hiring freeze in December
to help rein in spending amid
the city’s budget woes.
Columbus operated at gen-
eral fund deficits exceeding
$800,000 in both Fiscal Year
2017 and 2018. In April, coun-
cilmen voted to continue the
hiring freeze indefinitely as
part of a plan meant to save the
city $1.1 million this year after
a financial consultant projected
earlier this year that the gen-
eral fund balance could be as
much as $338,000 overdrawn
by Sept. 30.
During the freeze, the city
has hired a new chief financial
officer (a position which city
officials made clear from the
outset was exempt from the
freeze), as well as the six sea-
sonal parks workers.
Three police officers pro-
moted in April agreed to take
on the duties of their promo-
tions without the correspond-
ing pay raises until the hiring
freeze lifts. For Gavin, that
alone was enough to oppose the
parks hires.
“I personally can’t look the
police officers in the eye and
say, ‘You can’t hire more men,
you can’t take pay raises,’ but
we can hire these guys,” he
said.
In other business, council-
men voted to advertise for pro-
posals of professional services
for the design of a new build-
ing to replace the Sim Scott
Community Center, which was
destroyed during a Feb. 23 tor-
nado that touched down in Co-
lumbus.
Public Information Officer
Joe Dillon said the money for
the new center would come
from the city’s insurance claim,
and that the design of the build-
ing would be a collaboration
among city officials and resi-
dents near the park and com-
munity center.
“We don’t really have any
more details yet, but we did
want to go ahead and advertise
for bids since we know, legally,
there has to be a professional
involved in the designs for the
building,” Dillon said.
Councilmen also appointed
Dillon the hazard mitigation
manager for the city. In this
role, he will act as liaison be-
tween the city and the Federal
Emergency Management Agen-
cy. The appointment did not
come with a pay increase.

Caledonia aldermen reject second plan for soccer field lighting

Board still hopes to have LED lights
installed at complex
By Slim Smith
ssmith@cdispatch.com
A second proposal to
light soccer fields at Cale-
donia’s Ola J. Pickett Park
failed to gain traction
among the town’s board
of aldermen Tuesday eve-
ning, even as the window
for installing the lights
before the planned begin-
ning of the soccer season
narrows.
“We’re behind the
eight-ball already,” Mayor
Mitch Wiggins told the
aldermen after an hour-
long debate over the re-
vised plan. “If we can go
full-speed ahead right
now and approve this, we
can put it out (for bids)
right now.”
The plan presented
Tuesday came after the
aldermen balked at the
original plan produced
by the town’s engineering
firm, Calvert-Spradling
Engineering, on April
22. It estimated the cost
of lighting one field at
$165,000, with the cost for
lighting the other three
fields at $100,000 each —
using LED lights. With
only $175,000 available
for the project, aldermen
asked the engineer to
come up with a cheaper
option to light at least two
fields.
The revised plan pre-
sented Tuesday estimated
that the $175,000 avail-
able would cover the cost
of lighting two fields and
possibly all four.
The primary differ-
ence in the two plans
was using wooden poles
instead of concrete poles
and metal-halide lights
instead of LED.
Giving up the LED
lights appeared to be
a deal-breaker for the
board.
“I know how important
it is to get the lights up
before the season starts,
but I really am struggling
with this,” Alderman
Matt Furnari said. “We’re
going to get one shot at
this. Is using 50-year-old
technology going to put
us where we want to be? I
doubt it.
“I’ve talked to people
who do lighting every
day,” he added. “They
read about this in the pa-
per, just like everybody
else in Lowndes Coun-
ty, and they were very
shocked that we couldn’t
get LED on all four of
those fields for the money
we had. I still feel like we Wiggins said he would board authorized the pur- price of the two vehicles.

urgency required to have

enough to warrant ap-

“The question is what

think we should proceed

given. Under the circum-
stances, this is our best
option on the table.”
Parham moved to ac-
cept the new plan, but he
did not receive a second.
Wiggins asked the
board what they wanted
to do next.
Furnari said the engi-

‘A dream:’ Meghan, Harry present
royal newborn to the public
Baby Sussex, who name has not been announced
yet, was born Monday morning at 5:26 a.m.
The Associated Press
LONDON — Two tired but
beaming parents and one blissfully
sleeping baby posed for the camer-
as Wednesday as Prince Harry and
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex,
helped satisfy a huge global appe-
tite for images and details about
their newborn son.
Standing in the vast, red-car-
peted St. George’s Hall at Windsor
Castle, Meghan declared the baby
was “a dream” and called mother-
hood “magic.”
Harry cradled his son in his
arms as the couple posed for the
cameras — the first in a lifetime of
photo calls for the two-day-old baby,
who is seventh in line to the British
throne.
Baby Sussex, whose name has
not been announced, lay silently,

wearing a matching knitted cap. He

Meghan declared motherhood to
be “magic.”
“It’s pretty amazing,” said the
37-year-old American, formerly
known as Meghan Markle. “I have
the two best guys in the world, so
I’m really happy.”
She said the baby had “just been
a dream.”
“He has the sweetest tempera-
ment. He’s really calm,” she said.
Harry quipped: “I wonder who
he gets that from.”
Asked which parent the baby
took after, Harry said it was too
soon to tell.
“Everyone says that babies
change so much over two weeks,”
said the 34-year-old prince. “We’re
basically monitoring how the
changing process happens over this

“immediate action to remove” the

Items offered by various makers
included miniskirts, pillows and
tote bags with bleak black-and-

and the railway tracks down which
trains brought people to Birkenau
and its gas chambers.

Our View

Metal roof donations set great example for our business community
The Columbus Lown-
des Habitat for Humanity
is currently working on its
49th house since it arrived in
Columbus 29 years ago, but
there is one feature to the cur-
rent build that stands unique
among all those projects.
The little home on 12th
Ave. North in Columbus will
feature a steel roof, courtesy of
Steel Dynamics, who donated
10,000 pounds of painted steel,
enough to put roofs on four to
five houses.
With its partners on the
project – Mississippi Steel Pro-
cessing, Magnum Metals of
Nettleton and Ervin Brothers
Roofing, the donated materi-
als and labor shaves off about
$10,000 from the cost of the
project. That’s more than just
a gesture, particularly in the
case of the person who will be
moving into the home. At 89
years old and retired, it means
further shrinking the cost
of her eventual mortgage to
something Mary Bush can af-
ford, even on her fixed income.
Our community is blessed
with a wide array of manufac-
turers, skilled craftsmen and
service providers. We are also
challenged by great needs in
our community, especially
now. When FEMA ruled that
private properties would not
be provided assistance as they
attempt to recover from the
devastating tornado of Feb. 23,
many home-owners realized
the cost to repair their prop-
erties would be a task. Some
275 homes were destroyed
or damaged. Many of those
homes were not covered by
insurance.
Just hours after the tornado
passed through some of the
poorest neighborhoods of the
city, residents from all over
the city and county arrived to
provide what help they could.
As needed and as appreciated
as those efforts have been, the
needs exceed what can reason-
ably be expected by a handful
of good-hearted residents.
Steel Dynamics’ donation to
the Habitat project, we believe,
sets a good example for our
manufacturing and business
communities to follow. Many,
many times over the years,
these companies have pro-
vided what is called “in-kind”
services for a wide variety of
public projects – providing ma-
terials or services that greatly
reduce cost.
We believe there is an
opportunity to extend that
“in-kind” help to individuals
by working through local
charities and groups whose
missions are the serve the
less-fortunate members of our
community.
We encourage our business
community to reach out to
the organizations and make a
commitment to providing their
unique services to those and
other efforts.
There are hundreds of
non-profits throughout the
Golden Triangle and hundreds
of ways to help each one.

Mr. Brad Freeman and “Band of Brothers” I’m re-

Europe circa 1985.

A Binga Crosby Sing-Along

As the Munich train
approached Vienna,
drowsy passengers
emerged from their

elderly, elegant Austrian

saying he had so little opportunity to practice
American English. I asked where he’d studied,
but he changed the subject. A bit later, rolling
closer and closer to Vienna I asked again, (multi

“American” English?

Takes issue with name of event
I noticed that someone “mistakenly” used the
correct name for the Eight O’May Celebration
in the front page calendar and then the next day,
someone “corrected” it.
I don’t know why anyone thinks they have to
sanitize the name of a historical event. It was
known as The Eight O’May by every freed slave
and every white person in Columbus and that
title remained for over 150 years until this age of
political correctness.
The pre-Civil War white population in Lown-

Even in the current-day Irish language, there
is no “th” sound. Anyone that ever met Father

announced that the regime’s final
hour was at hand. But by midweek,
the army’s leaders, including the
minister of defense, still stood with
Maduro.
Guaido’s opportunity seems
to have passed by, at least for the
moment. Maduro remains in power,
though his generals, weighing the
odds, have apparently been negoti-
ating in secret with Guaido.
The Trump administration has
backed Guaido, only to see him fail
twice now at taking power.
The White House backed the
plan in February to breach Vene-
zuela’s borders with truckloads of
food and medicine, counting on the guide his decisions. Venezuela’s

“The brutal repression of the

it must end soon,” said Trump.

no food; they have no water. And
this was once one of the wealthiest

This civil conflict is not our war.
We have not been attacked. Not
only is there no justification for U.S.
military intervention, but also any
arrival of U.S. troops on Venezue-
imperialism.
Finally, time is on our side, not
Maduro’s.
The Venezuelan economy, one
of the richest in the hemisphere
owing to the world’s largest oil
resources, is now in shambles.
Some 3 million people, 1 in every 10
Venezuelans, have fled the disaster
that Maduro and his mentor Hugo
Chavez created.
The currency is sinking to Wei-
mar levels. Oil exports are falling.
Shortages of food and medicine
are spreading. Power blackouts
have been reported. It is difficult to
foresee any turnaround the Maduro
regime can execute to revive the
economy or prevent the continued
exodus of its people. Most of the
nations of Latin America are with
us and against Maduro.
Venezuela’s situation is not sus-
tainable. Let the fate of the Marxist
Socialist regime of Nicolas Maduro
be decided by the people of Vene-

and share stories of local
African-American history
from the late 19th and
early 20th centuries.
The Eighth of May
celebration will start at
5:30 p.m. today with the
Sandfield Cemetery his-
torical landmark presen-
tation, and performances
will begin at 6.
Contrast between
divisiveness, progress
While filming the
dress rehearsal, film-
maker Jeanne Jordan of
West City Films watched
MSMS students become
the historical characters
in real life.
“It’s just really amaz-
ing,” Jordan said. “This
afternoon we met with
Mr. Yarborough and
students at the library.
They just showed us the
process on how they
hone in on who they do
and the kind of research
they do. This is really
unique. I doubt there’s
a lot of things like this
around the United States.
We are just really thrilled
to be capturing this.
Especially at this time,
it’s inspirational.”
James Fallows, a jour-
nalist for The Atlantic,
said he hopes the docu-
mentary, like his book,
will bring a united front
while focusing on local
success stories.
“The main point
of our book and what
we’ve been doing in the
Atlantic Post articles,
essentially is to let peo-
ple know at a time of real
division and paralysis
at the national level of
politics, no matter what
your political perspective
is, there’s lots of plac-
es around the country
where there’s all these
impressive signs of local
renewal,” he said. “It’s
that contrast between
the national-level divi-
siveness and a lot of local
progress and possibil-
ities. That’s the main
point.”
For their book, the
Fallows traveled through-
out America in a pro-
peller plane. They have
often returned to Colum-
bus visiting friends and
watching MSMS perfor-
mances.
“It’s exciting and fun.

“There’s a 50-year guar-

An HBO crew films MSMS seniors Taniya Bland and Sierra Reyndols, during a dress

Cemetery. The HBO documentary, which features the MSMS production, will high-

we’ve met around here
just because we can tell
how seriously they are
dealing with all the vari-
ous both challenges and
opportunities,” James
Fallows said. “It’s a place
that makes an impres-

The documentary is
slated to premier late in
2020.
Eighth of May
Senior Erin Williams,
18, watched the Eighth
of May performance last
year as a spectator, which
prompted her to take Yar-
borough’s African-Amer-
ican history course. This
year, she’ll embody the
role of Susie Mitchell.
“(She is) the wife of
William Isaac Mitchell,”
Williams said. “The story
is mostly about her hus-
band and what he did for
this community. By the
early 1880s, he was the
first African-American
principal of Union Acade-
my. (In the performance)
I talk about his dedication
to education and how he
was active in education
till his death.”
Unlike most research
projects, Williams said
the resources were limit-
ed for the African-Ameri-
can community.
“The African Ameri-
cans weren’t really men-
tioned as much as white
people,” Williams said.
ers were finishing the
measurements needed
and the installation be-
gan.
Steel Dynamics has
been involved in this
project since it started in
February.
“We sponsored the
women’s build day back
in February, and we’ll
have the women and
some men coming back
to paint,” Davis said.
When completed,
Mary Bush will move
back into her old address,
if not her old home.

“It was harder to find
information. You have to
really dig to find informa-
tion. It’s kind of frustrat-
ing that they were people
and they lived lives and
did important things in
the community but they
weren’t documented.”
After taking off her
microphone from HBO,
Williams said it was an
honor for MSMS students
to be featured in such
high esteem in the docu-
mentary.
“When I heard HBO
was going to be here, I
thought it was a joke,”
Williams said. “Then
they came. This is crazy.
It’s really crazy, but I
think that this documen-
tary will be important.
I know that this project
isn’t the whole focus,
but this could impact
somebody. So people can
further educate them-
selves.”
Watching his students,
Yarborough said this
year’s class has exceed-
ed his expectations and
he expects a crowd of
at least 300 people for
tonight’s performance.
“Teachers are in
the business of hope,”
Yarborough said. “These
students renew annually
my sense of hope for our
community, our state
and our nation. Once

For her, the Habitat

“A voice told me to go
down to (the Habitat of-
fice),” she said. “I didn’t
know nothing about it.
But it was the Lord tell-
ing me.
“So I went down and
we talked and talked,”
she added. “The lady
said, ‘Let me see what
we can do.’ I told her,
‘The Good Lord sent me.
Deanna Robinson/Dispatch Staff
hope it will do that for
the community as well. ...
We are focusing on local
history so we can see the
challenges and struggles
overcome on the local
level, which shows us
how we can also meet the
challenges and overcome
hardships at the national
level.
“I think the HBO
documentary presents a
unique, amazing oppor-
tunity to put Columbus
on the cultural map,” he
added. “I’ve come to real-
ize how unique this type
of research and program
is.”
Senior Ezra McWil-
liams will for the second
straight year portray
Allen Rabb, who was
born in Lowndes County
in 1866. With film crews
walking throughout
Sandfield, McWilliams
said it’s about time Rabb’s
and similar stories make
it to the national stage.
“It made me feel good
because stuff like this
needs to come to sur-
face,” McWilliams said.
“You hear about Martin
Luther King, Rosa Parks,
Thurgood Marshall,
Barack Obama, all those
guys, but you tend to
forget the small guys that
helped propel the move-
ment. Allen Rabb owned
a meat market. You got
to delve into their history
and their story.”
I didn’t come down here
on my own, so I expect
to get some good news,’
and I did (get it). I’m so
happy.”
Davis said about 60
volunteers from SDI have
worked on the project.
“I think everybody
has really enjoyed the
project,” he said. “This
is the first metal roof
they’ve ever had done, so
it’s exciting to be a part of
that.”

Heritage wins wild game against Starkville Academy, 15-10

Parker Ray may never convert a big-
ger out.
Unless, of course, he does next week
when Heritage Academy’s baseball team
plays for its first state championship in
school history.
Ray, the first baseman for the Patri-
ots, caught a throw that was off the mark
late Tuesday night, spun around to tag
Starkville Academy’s Griffin Little, and
suddenly the Patriots had capped off
their six-hour championship adventure.
Heritage players sprinted out of their
dugout to join their teammates on the
field in celebration of a wild 15-10 victo-
ry that gave the Patriots the Mississip-
pi Association of Independent Schools
(MAIS) AAA North championship and
a berth in next week’s state champion-

New Hope’s Thomas among
EMCC players signing letters
FROM SPECIAL REPORTS
SCOOBA – New Hope’s Terryonte
Thomas, and Starkville’s Darrious Ag-
new and Markedric Bell are among five
East Mississippi Community College’s
basketball players who have signed na-
tional letters-of-intent for the 2019-20
school year.
The Lions won the MACJC state
championship this past season.
Thomas, a native of Columbus and an
all-region and first-team all-state selec-
tion, has signed with Sam Houston State
University in Huntsville, Texas.
Thomas totaled 655 career points
(13.1 ppg), 258 rebounds (5.2 rpg) and
108 assists (2.2 apg) as a two-year start-
er for head coach Billy Begley’s EMCC
Lions. This past season, the 6-foot-4,
205-pound Thomas was the team’s lead-
ing scorer with 13.7 points per game
while also averaging 4.6 rebounds and
1.8 assists an outing. He will join head
coach Jason Hooten’s Sam Houston State
club on the heels of the 21-12 Bearkats
claiming the Southland Conference reg-
ular-season championship this past year.
Agnew is headed for Southeast Mis-
souri State University and Bell is going
to the University of Arkansas at Pine
Bluff.
Agnew helped spark the 19-8 EMCC
Lions to their first MACJC state men’s
basketball championship since the
1930s. The 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward
averaged 15.6 points and 7.0 rebounds
during the three games of last year’s
state tournament. For the season, Agnew
averaged 11.5 points and a team-leading
6.7 rebounds per contest while shooting
51.3 percent from the field. He becomes
the latest EMCC men’s basketball player
to join the Southeast Missouri Redhawks
program by following in the footsteps of
former Lion standouts Daniel Simmons Terryone Thomas, a New Hope High School and East Mississippi Community College
and Jarekious Bradley.

“Today was a true test,” said

Regional, 20 mph winds and
6,400 yards of a great course
at Jimmie Austin tested us.
Patience was a critical key out
there, and we displayed that in
never giving up and fighting
until the end.”
Freshman Hannah Levi led
the Bulldogs, carding a trio of
birdies in the second round.
She is 3-under and tied for
eighth after scoring a 2-over
72 on Tuesday.

86th at 17-over par after round
two. She was even through the

Justin Flake said. “We’re
hoping to cash in.”
A wild night it was.
Game 3 of the best-
of-three series between
the rivals involved seven
pitchers, 15 hits, 19 walks,
eight wild pitches, two hit
batsmen and an eight-
run inning by Heritage in
which 14 batters came up
to hit and the Patriots ran
wildly on the bases.
As soon as the ball hit
the dirt near home plate, a
Heritage runner was tak-
ing off.
“That’s been us two
years now. That’s part of
us,” Flake said. “We talk
about plus-two mentality.
We want to take two bas-
es every time. We do a
great job on dirt balls and
stretching singles into
doubles. We’re just really
aggressive. That’s who
we are.”
Cole Ketchum, the
starting pitcher in the
day’s opening game,
scored four times in the
nightcap and reached
base in all five at-bats. KJ
Smith scored four times.

scored three times and

Bell was EMCC’s second-lead-
ing rebounder (6.3 rpg) in addi-
tion to averaging 6.6 points per
game this past season as a 22-game
sophomore starter. The 6-foot-7,
190-pound forward totaled 316 ca-
reer points (6.3 rpg), 306 rebounds
(6.1 rpg) and 68 blocked shots
during his 50-game East Mississip-
pi career. As a future member of
head coach George Ivory’s UAPB
Golden Lions, Bell will join Prairie
View-bound Cox as former EMCC
Lions to compete in the Southwest-
ern Athletic Conference (SWAC)
next season.
Also headed to four-year schools
are MACJC all-state guards De-
wayne Cox and Robert Davis Jr.,
who signed with Prairie View A&M
University in Texas and NCAA Di-
vision II member Columbus State
University in Georgia, respectively.
Cox amassed 591 career points
(11.6 ppg), 244 rebounds (4.8 rpg),
103 steals (2.0 spg) and 89 assists
(1.7 apg) during his two seasons on
the Scooba campus. Cox, a 6-foot-1,
165-pound guard, was EMCC’s sec-
ond-leading scorer this past year at
12.9 points per game and connect-
ed on 86.3 percent (132-of-153) of
his free throws.
Davis enjoyed a breakout soph-
omore season with the Lions by
ranking as EMCC’s third-best scor-
er 12.4 ppg) and top playmaker with
54 assists. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound
combo guard also posted team-
high shooting accuracy marks of
46 percent from beyond the three-
point arc and 87 percent from the
free throw line.

Fiers finds enough light to pitch second no-no of career

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. — A light
malfunction almost stopped
Mike Fiers’ night from getting
started. A high pitch count
nearly prevented him from fin-
ishing it.
Good thing Fiers was al-
lowed to take the mound and
stay there all game because he
made history doing it.
Fiers overcame the early
delay and managed the high
workload to pitch his second
no-hitter of his career, getting
help from two spectacular de-
fensive plays from his Oakland
Athletics teammates to shut
down the Cincinnati Reds 2-0
Tuesday night.
“Amazing. That’s really all
I can really say,” Fiers said.
“Things like this just happen.”
This one almost didn’t.
A bank of lights in left field
was only partially lit before the
scheduled start of the game,
leading to a delay of more than
90 minutes before the teams
and umpires determined there
was enough light to play a full
game.
Then after getting through
seven innings with 109 pitches,
Fiers was told by manager Bob
Melvin that one more baserun-
ner would end his night even if
he still hadn’t allowed a hit. He
then breezed through the final
two innings, following up his
2015 gem for Houston against
the Dodgers with a 131-pitch
masterpiece to become the 35th
pitcher with multiple no-hitters
in his career.
“I’m just really thankful for
him leaving me in and trusting
me,” Fiers said. “I told him I felt
great. I felt like everything was
working. It wasn’t a matter of
being tired. I had adrenaline at
that point.”
He walked two, struck out
six and ended it by fanning Eu-
genio Suarez with a big curve-
ball.
The A’s poured out of the
dugout to mob Fiers in celebra-
tion after the final out in front of
a few thousand fans remaining
after the lengthy delay. Fiers
tipped his hat to the crowd and
raised his arms in triumph as
he walked off.
“It was a great night obvious-
ly for him, for our fans, every-
one wants to see a no-hitter,”
Melvin said. “It was no fun for
me once he got past 120 pitch-
es, I promise you that. But he
deserved it.
The 33-year-old Fiers (3-3)
raised his lifetime record to
57-58. The right-hander began
the night with a 6.81 ERA this
season, and has been a journey-
man for much of his career.
BRAVES LOSE IN LA:
Hyun-Jin Ryu tossed a four-hit
shutout, Justin Turner homered
three times and the Los Ange-
les Dodgers routed the Atlan-
ta Braves 9-0 Tuesday night
for their ninth straight win at
home.
After being named the
team’s opening day starter
because of injuries to Clayton
Kershaw and Rich Hill, Ryu
landed on the injured list with
a left groin strain. Last season,
he missed two months with a
groin issue.
Turner believes that kept
Ryu out of consideration for the
NL Cy Young Award.
Ryu didn’t allow a baserun-
ner until Tyler Flowers singled
to left leading off the sixth,
spoiling his bid for a perfect
game that he said he wasn’t
thinking about.
“He’s really good,” Braves
manager Brian Snitker said.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May
8). Though you don’t make
finding love, joy and fun your
priority, these qualities will be
abundantly present this trip
around the sun. It’s like a new
part of your being is activated.
You’ll find yourself interested in
things you wouldn’t have sus-
pected you would be. Different
teachers show up in the form
of friends and a boss. Scorpio
BABY BLUES and Virgo adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 3, 20, 14, 44
and 32.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Successful move of the day:
Give your energy to those who
give back. And even though it’s
not always possible or advisable
to love only those who love you,
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
etc., today it’s your ticket to
heart-happiness.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Even though you may feel
clueless as to what is your next
move, your intention to avoid
trouble and steer yourself in a
healthful and supportive direc-
tion will lead you into becoming
who you want to be.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’ll be put in a position today.
Make it easy for present-you
by saying yes. Make it easy for
future-you by saying no. The
second way is better, causing
you less stress overall, but of
course, it’s harder.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
When you’re doing something
for the first time, it seems to
take a lot longer. The novelty
changes your perception of time
and makes moments stretch.
Break the routine. Variety is a
must for a memorable life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
There are a lot of things that
mistakenly pass for gratitude.
Manners, humility, deference
— they’re all fine and well, but
they are not gratitude. Gratitude
is a type of joy. If it doesn’t
feel joyful, then it’s not really
gratitude.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Get into the kind of relation-
ships you can handle. You know
what you have time for and
what you don’t. You know what
feels easy and what seems right
but somehow isn’t quite. Trust
yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You have a problem. Other
people have the same problem.
If you can solve it for you, you
can solve it for the others, too.
Knowing it’s bigger than you will
give you motivation to dig in and
try harder for the answer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Everyone judges. “No judg-
ment but...” is one way judgy
sentences can start. If you find
yourself judging, even if it’s only
mentally, then add an “or not”
to the end of what you were
thinking. Because the opposite
idea may be just as true.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). An unhelpful idea that’s
been engrained in you since you
were small will be tricky to free
yourself from, but that’s exactly
what you need to do to move to
a lighter mode of being.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The different kinds of inspi-
ration will compound. Intellectu-
al inspiration will ignite physical
exuberance; social inspiration
will effervesce into spiritual joy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). For a conflict to resolve,
one person has to soften in the
name of resolution. That person
is automatically the bigger
person, as it takes a great spirit
to be humble.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Your learning process can
be very mysterious. Maybe it
feels like nothing is clicking in,
but keep exposing yourself to
the material you want to absorb.
When it does click in, it will be
sudden and magical.

Braising can maximize the
freshness of spring vegetables
BY AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
W
hile raw and roasted vegetables cer-
tainly have their place, braising is
a great technique for cooking even
the most delicate vegetables.
You may think braising would turn verdant
spring vegetables drab and watery but, in
fact, braising can maximize their freshness
and make them taste more like themselves.
To turn early-season produce into a warm
side dish, we started by softening a minced
shallot in olive oil with additional aromatics
for a savory base. To build a flavorful brais-
ing liquid, we poured in water and lemon and
orange zest and dropped in a bay leaf.
Adding the vegetables in stages ensured
that each cooked at its own rate and main-
tained a crisp texture. Peppery radishes,
which turned soft and sweet with cooking,
were nicely complemented by the more vege-
tal notes of asparagus and peas (frozen peas
were reliably sweet, and adding them off the
heat prevented overcooking).
In no time at all, we had a simple side of
radiant vegetables in an invigorating, com-
plex broth — proof positive that braising can
bring out the best in even the most delicate
flavors. A toss of chopped fresh tarragon
gave a final nod to spring. Look for asparagus
spears no thicker than 1/2 inch.

A foolproof
way to make
chicken
drumsticks
ultra-tender
BY AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
W
ith their built-in handles and
small size, economical chicken
drumsticks are tailor-made for
a cookout. So we decided to devise a fool-
proof way to roast them on the grill to ul-
tra-tender perfection with nicely browned
skin and wonderfully juicy meat.
We usually don’t brine fattier dark meat,
but since we were roasting the drumsticks
for a fairly long time in the grill’s dry heat
we brined them first in salt water to help
them retain their juices as well as to sea-
son them. A light coating of spice rub also
upped their flavor.
We set up a half-grill fire with two
zones: On the cooler side we roasted the
drumsticks beyond their usual doneness
temperature of 175 F to 190 F, at which
point most of their connective tissue had
turned into rich gelatin and their skin had
rendered gently.
Indirect grilling is largely hands off, but
halfway through roasting we rearranged
the drumsticks, moving those closer to the
heat to the outside and those on the out-
side closer to the heat to ensure all of the
drumsticks were done at the same time.
We moved them to the hotter side un-
til the skin was nicely charred and crisp,
which took only 5 minutes. Before apply-
goodinthesimple.com
ing the spice rub, smooth the skin over
the drumsticks so it is covering as much
surface area as possible. This will help the
skin render evenly and prevent the meat

What was the question?
A
few nights ago, Zack and
I had to sit down with
a planner to figure out
how we were going to juggle an
evening consisting of an open
house at one child’s school,
course selection night at another
child’s school, a softball game,
and a food delivery. We settled
the schedule quickly, dividing
to conquer, as power couples are
wont to do. Then, of course, the
morning of, our youngest puked
at daycare ... as preschoolers are Amelia Plair
wont to do.
Robert Burns may not have written, “The best-laid plans
of mice and men often go awry,” with us in mind, but at
times it certainly feels like he did. We juggled again, this
time calling in backup in the form of my fabulous parents.
That’s life, as they say.
This time of year, life comes at us from more directions
than usual, it seems. My calendar is filled-to-bursting with
papers and schedules and scratched-out plans. The way I
thought my Thursday was going to look on the Monday
before is almost never how it looks by the time Thursday
actually rolls around.
That’s one of the reasons I love pulling out this salsa

Plan a photo booth
by gathering props like
graduation caps and di-
plomas, school pom-poms
and the like.
At the party, consider
designating someone
to get photographs with
your camera or phone.
If you’re hosting, you’ll
probably get too busy to
capture all the shots you
want.
Guests will likely
arrive with cards or
wrapped gifts for the
graduate; provide a con-
venient, safe place close
to the entrance for those,
thespruce.com reminds
us. Set up a “wisdom jar”
and slips of paper and
pens for friends and fam-
ily to write a few words of
advice for the new grad.
It goes without saying
that there should be
music, but unless it’s
a dance, keep it in the
background.
Assuming the party
is mingling and moving
(not a sit-down dinner),
keep foods convenient
and replenished. Think
finger foods like sliders,
taco bites, potato skins.
How about tortilla “di-
plomas”? Just turn your
favorite pinwheel recipe
into a graduation party
food. See a recipe from

You’ll also find a couple
of pick-up sweets that

n To assemble, first top each
brownie bite with a thin layer
of chocolate frosting. Then
place a chocolate covered
graham cracker on top.
n Slice licorice twists into
3-inch pieces with a sharp
knife (or clean scissors) so
the top forms a point. Use fin-

to make it look like a tassel.
n Place a dollop of decorative
icing on the top and then add
the chocolate candy. Allow to
dry for a few minutes.
n Next, add the licorice
tassel. (This part is probably
the trickiest because you’re
got to work the candy a bit
with your fingers to get it to lay
over. If licorice is too hard to
manage, try microwaving it a
few seconds to soften up. An
alternative is belt candy, like
Airheads.)
