Trump, Erdogan to meet as
thorny issues stress relations
‘This is not the time or place to be extending
hospitality and exchanging niceties with a dictator.’
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — in Syria as an extension of a separatist
Turkish President Re-
cep Tayyip Erdogan
and President Donald
Trump will meet as re-
lations between the two
NATO allies are at their
lowest point in decades,
with Turkey rebuffing Trump
the U.S. and turning to-
ward Russia on security
issues and Ankara facing
a Washington backlash
over attacks on Kurd-
ish civilians during its
incursion into Syria last
month.
Erdogan and Trump Erdogan
have a difficult agenda
Wednesday that includes Turkey’s
decision to buy a Russian air defense
system and its attack on U.S.-allied
Kurdish forces in northern Syria. Their
scheduled afternoon news conference,
however, will give Trump a stage to
counter the first public hearings in the
House impeachment inquiry.
Trump says Turkey has been a
critical U.S. ally for decades, cites the
strong economic upside to the rela-
tionship and maintains that the two
countries have enough in common to
overcome their differences. Some in
Congress say Erdogan should never
have been invited to the White House
in the first place.
Last month, the House overwhelm-
ingly passed a bill to sanction senior
Turkish officials and its army for the
military incursion into Syria to fight the
Split Supreme Court appears ready
to allow Trump to end DACA
WASHINGTON — Sharply at odds with
liberal justices, the Supreme Court’s con-
servative majority seemed ready Tuesday
to allow the Trump administration to abol-
ish protections that permit 660,000 immi-
grants to work in the U.S., free from the
threat of deportation.
That outcome would “destroy lives,”
declared Justice Sonia Sotomayor, one the
court’s liberals who repeatedly suggested
the administration has not adequately jus-
tified its decision to end the seven-year-old
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
program. Nor has it taken sufficient ac-
count of the personal, economic and social
disruption that might result, they said.
But there did not appear to be any sup-
port among the five conservatives for block-
ing the administration. The nine-member
court’s decision is expected by June, at the
height of the 2020 presidential campaign.
President Donald Trump said on Twit-
ter that DACA recipients shouldn’t despair
if the justices side with him, pledging that
“a deal will be made with the Dems for
them to stay!” But Trump’s past promises
to work with Democrats on a legislative
solution for these immigrants have led no-
where.
The president also said in his tweet that
many program participants, brought to
the U.S. as children and now here illegal-
ly, are “far from ‘angels,’” and he claimed
that “some are very tough, hardened crim-
inals.” The program bars anyone with a fel-
ony conviction from participating, and seri-
ous misdemeanors may also bar eligibility.
Some DACA recipients, commonly
known as “Dreamers,” were in the court-

Kurds. Erdogan sees Kurdish forces
Kurdish group that’s been fighting in-
side Turkey since the 1980s.
In the Senate, two Democrats intro-
duced legislation denouncing Turkey’s
targeting of journalists, political oppo-
nents, dissidents, minorities and oth-
ers. They said the Turkish government
had imprisoned more than 80,000 Turk-
ish citizens, closed more than 1,500
non-governmental organizations on ter-
rorism-related grounds and dismissed
or suspended more than 130,000 civil
servants from their jobs.
“This is not the time or place to be
extending hospitality and exchang-
ing niceties with a dictator,” said Sen.
Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire
Democrat who sits on the Foreign Rela-
tions and Armed Services committees.
In October, Trump moved U.S.
troops in Syria out of the way of invad-
ing Turkish troops, a decision that crit-
ics said amounted to abandoning Amer-
ica’s Kurdish allies to be attacked.
Trump administration officials have
said the president told Turkey not to
invade Syria. But when Erdogan insist-
ed, they say Trump decided to move
28 Green Berets operating on the Tur-
key-Syria border so they wouldn’t be
caught in a crossfire between Turk-
ish-backed forces and the Kurds.
A State Department official said
Trump is not rewarding Erdogan with
a White House visit but is conducting
diplomacy. The official said high-level
consultations are needed because of
the volatile situation in Syria that has
displaced tens of thousands of people.
room for the arguments, and many people
camped out in front of the court for days for
a chance at some of the few seats available.
The term comes from never-passed pro-
posals in Congress called the DREAM Act.
The high court arguments did not in-
volve any discussion of individual DACA
recipients or Trump’s claims.
Instead the focus was on whether either
of two administration rationales for ending
DACA, begun under President Barack
Obama, was enough.
Global stocks sink after Trump
threatens more China tariffs
BEIJING — Global stocks sank Wednes-
day after U.S. President Donald Trump
threatened more tariff hikes on Chinese
imports if talks aimed at ending a trade war
fail to produce an interim agreement.
Market benchmarks in London, Frank-
furt, Shanghai and Tokyo declined. Wall
Street looked set to slip.
Trump said Tuesday that an agree-
ment on the “Phase 1” deal announced
last month “could happen soon.” But he
warned he was ready to raise tariffs “very
substantially” if that fails.
The two sides disagree publicly about
whether the U.S. agreed to roll back some
punitive tariffs imposed in the fight over
Beijing’s trade surplus and technology am-
bitions. The Chinese government said last
week that was settled, but Trump denied
that.
Trump’s comments “served as a re-
minder of the challenge that the two sides
face,” said Jingyi Pan of IG in a report. How-
ever, she said, investors saw them as “posi-
tioning statements,” reducing their impact.

Most distant world ever explored

gets new name: Arrokoth
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVER AL, Fla. —
The most distant world ever ex-
plored 4 billion miles away finally
has an official name: Arrokoth.
That means “sky” in the lan-
guage of the Native American
Powhatan people, NASA said
Tuesday.
NASA’s New Horizons
spacecraft flew past the snow-
man-shaped Arrokoth on New
Year’s Day, 3 ½ years after ex-
ploring Pluto. At the time, this
small icy world 1 billion miles
(1.6 billion kilometers) beyond
Pluto was nicknamed Ultima
Thule given its vast distance
from us.
“The name ‘Arrokoth’ reflects
the inspiration of looking to the
skies,” lead scientist Alan Stern
of Southwest Research Institute
said in a statement, “and wonder-
ing about the stars and worlds
beyond our own.”
The name was picked because
of the Powhatan’s ties to the
Chesapeake Bay region.
New Horizons is operated
from Johns Hopkins University’s
Applied Physics Lab in Laurel,
Maryland. The Hubble Space
Telescope — which discovered
Arrokoth in 2014 — has its sci-
ence operations in Baltimore.
The New Horizons team got
consent for the name from Pow-
hatan Tribal elders and repre-
sentatives, according to NASA.
The International Astronomical
Union and its Minor Planet Cen-
ter approved the choice.
Arrokoth is among countless
objects in the so-called Kuiper
Belt, or vast Twilight Zone be-
yond the orbit of Neptune. New
Horizons will observe some
of these objects from afar as it
makes its way deeper into space.

ACLU attorney Esha
Bhandari said the ruling

The ACLU describes

border officers must now

The government has
vigorously defended the
searches as a critical tool

The number of elec-

U.S. ports of entry has in-

ACLU said. Last year, the
government conducted
more than 33,000 search-

number from just three

Mississippi Voices
State election season is over
Mississippi’s local
and state elections
are done for another
four years. The Re-
publican Party stays
in power.
Unlike many
elections around the
world, few people
questioned the
validity of our state’s
election process. It
is a great blessing Wyatt Emmerich
to live in a state and
country that has a
legitimate and trusted demo-
cratic process.
George Washington in his
farewell address warned the
nation of the dangers of political lows. Stitching together 50 per-
parties, but the nation didn’t
listen. Political parties are
fundamental to our electoral
process, even though they are
private organizations with no
constitutional basis.
The whole idea of a political
party is kind of disturbing:
“Let’s form our own private
organization and take over the
government.” The Constitution
protects our freedom to form
whatever private associations
we want and that includes
private associations designed to generally pro-government and
influence elections.
Our two-party system has
been a source of great nation-
al stability over the years. It
takes 50 percent plus one vote
to gain power, so both parties
are hyperfocused
on that equation.
As a result, national
elections have gone
back-and-forth like a
seesaw.
If one party gets
too extreme, it loses
power. Since the
whole point of a
political party is to
take power, this be-
comes a self-correct-
ing process. Parties,
by their very nature,
will run off fringe elements in
order to win.
The nature of a two-party
system creates strange bedfel-
cent of the electorate requires
some creativity, especially in
our nation of rambunctious,
high-strung individuals. Ameri-
cans won’t sit by idly if they are
discontent with the status quo.
That’s how we all got here.
Republicans, for instance, are
supposed to be more anti-gov-
ernment, yet Republicans have
embraced a variety of socially
conservative laws that intrude
on individual liberty.
Meanwhile, Democrats are
distrustful of the free market,
yet the party is more socially
liberal and wants the govern-
ment out of our bedrooms and
out of our recreational sub-
stance decisions.
According to the latest
Gallup poll, 31 percent of
Americans consider themselves
Democrats, 29 percent consider
themselves Republicans and 40
percent are independent.
I am one of the indepen-
dents, although I typically vote
Republican. I do find it disturb-
ing when one party dominates.
Like George Washington, I am
distrustful of the concentration
of power.
I believe strongly in the free
market, which often aligns me
with Republicans. But I also
value individual liberties and
freedoms, which often aligns
me with Democrats.
Like a lot of Mississippians,
I am virulently opposed to
communism, socialism, collec-
tivism and whatever else you
want to call the ideology that
killed a hundred million souls
last century and has destroyed
Venezuela this past decade.
The strength of that emo-
tion probably helped keep the
Republicans entrenched in Mis-
sissippi, especially with Trump’s
visit. A lot of Mississippians
see left-wing kookiness on the
national scene and vow never to
vote for a Democrat.
That’s a weird side effect of
the national two-party system.
It’s balanced nationally, but
not so much in the individual
states. California is a one-party
Democratic state. Mississippi is
a one-party Republican state. As
someone who believes that just
about everything good comes
from competition, I find this
lamentable.
Another problem with politi-
cal parties in Mississippi is race.
We have a white Republican
Party and a black Democratic
Party. That’s a shame. Racism is
perhaps the most noxious social
ailment pervading our society
today. Judging a person by the
pigment of their skin is absurd,
un-Christian and demeaning.
It’s not all race. Madison
County, which is 60 percent
white, voted 50 percent for
Hood. So there are some white
Mississippians who voted Dem-
ocratic.
In Leflore County, which is
72 percent black, 75 percent vot-
ed for Democrat Hood. Hardly
any crossover there.
Alcorn County, which is 87
percent white, voted 75 percent
for Republican Reeves. A little
bit of crossover there, but not
much.
National surveys indicate
85 percent of blacks are Demo-
crats. I would bet 85 percent of
Mississippi whites are Republi-
can. It will be a long time before
this unique aspect of our state’s
political process disappears.
An open primary would help
foster more political compe-
tition. Louisiana has an open
primary system in which all
candidates from all parties
run against each other in the
primary. So do Washington and
Arizona.
Of course, it would require
the cooperation of the dominant
political party to change to open
primaries. And since the whole
purpose of a political party is to
take over the government, don’t
expect that to happen without
some type of public referendum.
Being a small state with a
limited number of politically
ambitious individuals, it’s so
much easier for the political
caste to all join one party and
not have to compete against one
another. Monopolies are much
less work.
Even so, a party can’t stay
in power if a majority of voters
don’t agree. The good news is
that a majority of Mississippians
are happy with the state of the
state.
Historically, the Mississip-
pi Democrats grabbed every
federal dollar they could get,
even if this meant welfare. The
Republicans are turning away
federal welfare. As a result low-
er-income citizens are leaving
our state. It remains to be seen
if this is a wise policy or not. It’s
a big change.

State of the nation Cartoonist View

New York puts
Trump in rearview
The (mostly) charming family
movie “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” is about
a divorced father living alone in his
posh Manhattan digs. Unexpectedly,
he receives two boxes of penguins,
and chaos ensues. But the 2011 film
has a not-very-subtle subtheme: the
prominence of future President Donald
Trump as the quintessential rich and
heroic New Yorker.
Popper (Jim Carrey) and the pen-
guins go skating at Central Park’s Woll-
man Skating Rink — excuse me, the Froma Harrop
Trump Wollman rink. You see TRUMP
in gigantic letters appearing in almost
every camera angle and no Wollman.
There’s a scene in the landmark Tavern on the Green, where
Popper quips, “You can’t even get a reservation here unless you’re
dating The Donald.” No explanation needed about whom “The
Donald” refers to or his alleged attraction to fabulous women.
“What is up with this Donald Trump as product placement?” a
reviewer for the National Catholic Register asked.
There’s more of that in the backstory. The real-life Tavern had
fallen on hard times and was closed. Trump was talking big to
New York media about plans to spend $20 million to rebuild the
icon and make it “the highest-grossing restaurant on the planet.”
But it was only talk. When the city parks department finally
asked potential operators to submit bids, Trump was nowhere to
be found.
“Bizarrely, the movie seems to pretend that Trump already has
something to do with the place,” the reviewer complained.
This is my roundabout way of noting that Trump can no longer
get away with playing big-hearted tycoon on what was his home
turf. The Trump name is gone from six of his buildings and the
skating facility (again called the Wollman Rink). Their associa-
tion with the president was turning off the public.
Before the 2016 campaign, New Yorkers didn’t detest Trump
as so many do today. They regarded him as a colorful character
who aspired to be in the top tier of the city’s superwealthy. Maybe
he scammed the little people — for example, tricking them to
buy stock in his failing casinos — but hard-hearted sophisticates
thought the investors had it coming. They believed in easy money
and didn’t do their homework on Trump.
Trump recently moved his official permanent residence from
New York to Florida. Saving taxes is the reason often put forward
for the move. But another is the reality that Trump has no path for
returning to Gotham as anything but a loathed figure.
Just last month, he was roundly booed at a World Series game
in Washington. Perhaps assuming he’d receive a warm MAGA
welcome at the Ultimate Fighting Championship, he joined
the crowds at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The jeers
matched the cheers.
After the presidency, he’d be razzed almost everywhere in
the city. Some local magnates might thank him for cutting their
taxes, but the middle-class masses would remain angry that he THE STAFF OF THE DISPATCH

Interview process
Henderson told The
Dispatch each candidate
-- all of whom were in the
room during each other’s
interviews -- had 10 min-
utes to introduce them-
selves and talk about
their vision for the school
district before answering
questions.
“All stakeholders in
Lowndes County had the
opportunity to submit
questions to me during a
two-week period of time,
and they were all anony-
mous,” Henderson said.
“... I just compiled a list
of all the questions that
were submitted and then
I sent them to the board
for their review and they
highlighted the ones they
thought were most im-
portant.”
Candidates were also
asked to answer three
questions during their
introduction: How would
they build relationships
with internal and exter-
nal stakeholders?; how
would they improve staff
morale and trust?; and
what made them the right
fit for LCSD superinten-
dent?
Henderson said stake-
holders were asked to

MSU spends $241
million per year on re-
search development and
contributes to more than
half of the research done
at all public universities
in the state.
“They’re all public
universities, everybody
in this room owns these
universities, so at the
end of the day, it’s about
Mississippi and what we
do for the people of Mis-
sissippi,” McGee said.
Collaboration is key
to producing research of
this magnitude, said Jim
Martin, MSU associate
vice president for eco-
nomic development and
corporate engagement.
“A lot of our research
crosses multiple disci-
plines, so we engage
with corporations and
we engage with our cus-
tomers to find out what
problems they need help

‘I’m young, and I’m learning’

How Aliyah Matharu is thriving in a new but familiar position for MSU
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — As
freshman guard Aliyah
Matharu walked across
the court following Mon-
day’s 82-46 win over Uni-
versity of Tennessee Mar-
tin, coach Vic Schaefer
walked alongside her.
Draping his arm
around the minute point
guard, Schaefer and
Matharu traded laughs
as a gaggle of MSU staff-
ers joined the pair in the
jaunt across the playing
surface at a nearly empty
Humphrey Coliseum.
“Thank y’all,” Schaefer
said toward a few leftover
reporters sitting at their
baseline seats, laptops in
front of them.
On a night that MSU
received another poor
offensive display from
freshman phenom Rickea
Jackson and a middling
effort from starting point
guard Myah Taylor, it was
Matharu’s prowess that
shined brightest.
“I’m young, and I’m
learning,” she said post-
game. “But my team-
mates don’t get on me
when I mess up, and I feel
like that’s really helping
me. When I make a mis-
take they take their time
with me, they’re patient,
they tell me what I’m
supposed to do, and they
guide me.”
Rated the No. 28 play-
er in ESPN HoopGurlz’s
class of 2019 rankings,
Matharu was named the
group’s top stock riser
after shifting from unher-
alded to a five-star rating
at season’s end.
A dynamic scorer and
energetic defender, she
averaged 17.7 points and
3.5 steals per game as

Brown-Turner — now at guard with the Bulldogs,

and 1.5 assists per game
— including a 15-point
outburst Monday against
UT Martin.
Jim Lytle/Special to The Dispatch
“Phew, it’s hard,” she
conceded through a smile
of playing point guard at
the collegiate level. “Be-
cause in high school I just
filled in wherever I was
needed — I could score,
sometimes I could run
the offense, but it wasn’t
on me as much … Now
it’s hard because it’s my
time, and I have to tell ev-
erybody where to go.”
“She’s trying to play
a position where she’s
been the off guard in high
school,” Schaefer said
last week. “But I’ve seen
her handle the ball and
run a team, so I really
believe if she’ll just listen
and buy in a little bit she
can play some minutes for
us at point guard.”
Flashing an impressive
ability to “let the game
come to her,” as Schaefer
calls it, Matharu finished
her Monday night’s win 6
of 8 from the field and 3 of
5 from 3-point range.
“On dribble-drive,
which (Schaefer) likes
us to run, he likes us to
attack the gaps (in the
defense),” she explained.
“Sometimes when you
attack the gaps they sag
off a little bit. And I know
he’s comfortable with me
shooting the ball, and
I’m comfortable with my
jump shot, so when I see
an open shot sometimes
I shoot — and I was just
feeling it tonight.”
Beyond the offensive
display, Matharu has also
shown a propensity for
gritty defense — a trade-
mark of Schaefer-coached
guards.
Standing with her feet
at shoulder width and her
torso square to Southern
Miss’ Alarie Mayze last
Friday, she crashed to the
floor as the Golden Eagle
guard sent her shoulder
into Matharu’s upper
body.
Popping up from the
deck, Matharu let out an
excited yell as the gener-
ally stone-faced Schaefer
cracked a smile along
the MSU bench. She had
earned her first career
charge.

Starkville boys outmaneuver Columbus in rivalry contest

By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
One possession during
the second half of Tues-
day night’s rivalry match-
up between Columbus
and Starkville showed
everything.
The Yellow Jackets un-
corked a deep pass from
the backcourt to advance
the ball, and an overzeal-
ous — and late — Colum-
bus defender skidded by
in vain.
Starkville worked the
ball inside to big man
Jacob Reese, who drew
multiple Falcons toward
him at the foul line.
Reese, practically sur-
rounded by white jerseys,
kicked the ball out to the
left corner for an open
3-pointer. Swish.
It was that unselfish-
ness — not just the abil-
ity but the willingness
to make the extra pass
— that Starkville had and
Columbus longed for. The
Yellow Jackets moved the
ball expertly, finding big
shots when they needed
to, and limited the Fal-
cons’ potent transition
offense, confining them
to the halfcourt. All told,
Starkville imposed its
will for a 62-45 road win
in front of a boisterous
Columbus crowd.
Starkville coach Greg
Carter summed up the
Jackets’ offensive output
simply: “We made the
extra pass and got open
shots.”
On defense, the plan
was a little more compli-
cated, Starkville senior
Trey Jackson said.
“The whole plan was
to stop transition baskets
and let them really try to
score in a halfcourt set-
ting,” he said.
The strategy worked
to perfection against
a Columbus team that
does its best work in
transition. Head coach
Phillip Morris could only
watch as players dribbled
around the perimeter
alone rather than work in
concert.
“At the end of the day,
you’ve just gotta share

PREP BASKETBALL
Saddler helps Columbus girls rally to take down Starkville
By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
The Columbus girls
basketball team just need-
ed to slow it down.
It was the main prob-
lem the Falcons diag-
nosed at halftime of Tues-
day’s home rivalry game
against Starkville. In
the first half, Columbus
rushed through its offen-
sive sets, failed to take
the ball to the rim and
totaled just 11 points. The
Falcons trailed the Yel-
low Jackets by four points
when the halftime buzzer
sounded.
“We had to calm down
and get everything set-
tled, realize what they
were doing,” Columbus
senior Aniya Saddler said.
The Falcons traded
their man-to-man defense
for a 2-3 zone. They made
their rotations on defense
and got the ball inside on
offense. And Saddler, sim-
ply put, caught fire.
She scored 20 of her 24
points in the second half
— 10 in each quarter —
and Columbus rallied for
a 45-39 win over the rival
Yellow Jackets.
“They just came back
out and got motivated to
do what we needed to do,”
Columbus coach Yvonne
Hairston said.
The win puts the Fal-
cons at 2-0 amid a tough
four-game stretch to open

New Hope senior golfer Pannell signs to MUW

He’s been involved in
the sport since seventh
grade, when he started
playing for fun, and he’s

New Hope golf team since
his freshman year.

The easy buckets that
the Falcons found in wins

Greenwood were no lon-

valry win already in their
pocket.
“It feels great,” Saddler
said. “It feels really great
to beat somebody that ev-
erybody’s been wanting
to see.”
Starkville coach Kris-
tie Williams knows the
Falcons’ offensive and
playing at the next level.
He hardly considered the
possibility until last year,
he said. That’s when it
became real, and things
moved quickly.
“This summer, I was
like, ‘Yeah, I want to play
for the W,’” Pannell said.
Pannell said he decid-
ed two months ago he
wanted to stick around
town and join coach Ben-
ji Williams’ program. He
signed Tuesday in the
New Hope multipurpose

mates, coaches and rel-

she saw it in full force in a
third quarter in which the
Jackets were outscored
20-6.
“They came out with
a lot more intensity in
the second half, and they
wanted it more,” Williams
said. “And when you want
it more than the other
among his family in his
athletic achievements.
‘I’m the first person in
my family to play college
sports,” he said, “and that
really made me want to
play.”
Pannell became the
third New Hope golfer to
sign to play in college in
coach Albert McBrayer’s
three-plus years at the
helm.
“It’s a good feeling
to me,” McBrayer said.
“He’s a great kid, and I
don’t have any doubt he’ll

“We normally shoot

“We didn’t shoot it like

Starkville’s shooting can
sometimes be streaky,

was a welcome sight.

after a zero-turnover
performance against the
Skyhawks. “And I just fo-

trying not to make wild
passes as I did the game
before — and setting (my
teammates) up to get the
ball in a position to score

out on top regardless of
anything else.”

that was pure Saddler
truly flipped the script on

next level.”
Pannell tied for fifth
individually in this year’s
Class 4A championship,
and McBrayer expects
him to win the state title
even after a move up to
Class 5A.
“That’s my goal, and I
hope he’s got that same
goal set for himself,” Mc-
Brayer said.
In 2018, the Trojans
finished second as a team
in Class 4A, and McBray-
er knows Pannell’s talent
gives them a chance to
compete again this sea-
“It can be up and
down,” he said. “When

The performance by
Saddler and the Falcons
was unsurprising to Wil-
liams, who was almost
waiting for a Columbus
run after an uncharacter-

“I knew Columbus was
not going to take that first
half lightly,” Williams
said. “They were gonna
come out and give us their
best, and that’s what they
did, and unfortunately, we
couldn’t match their in-

Starkville gave it a good
shot with a strong scoring
effort in the fourth quar-
ter, pulling within seven
points with under a min-
ute to go. Then Saddler
hit a baseline jumper as
she was falling out of
bounds — plus the foul.
She made the free throw,
pushing the lead back to
double digits, and the Yel-

two late scores to cut the
deficit.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Unranked Evansville stuns No. 1 Kentucky at Rupp Arena
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. —
Evansville showed no fear
either of Kentucky or ven-
erable Rupp Arena, where
the Wildcats had been
perfect at ruining visitors’
dreams of pulling off the
seemingly impossible.
Until Tuesday night.
Not only did the Purple
Aces deal No. 1 Kentucky
a stunning 67-64 upset,
they beat the bigger,
stronger Wildcats at their
own game. When it was
over, players, coaches and
their fans whooped it up
in a corner of the famed
court, making sure they
savored every bit of a mo-
mentous victory.

CENTERVILLE, TEXAS
DEAR LINDA: You are giving
your granddaughters an early
lesson in good manners, and
your idea of having them draw
pictures on their thank-you
notes is clever. Because most
children like to draw, some
parents have their children do
this before they learn to write.
As your granddaughters
grow older, suggest that they
keep a notebook handy when
they open their gifts and jot
down the first thing that comes
to mind when they see the
gift. Do they like the color?
The style? Is it something

Having people close by who
believe in you will help, but it’s
slowly walked off.
Cunliffe, a redshirt
junior guard who played
at Arizona State and
Kansas, did most of his
damage with 15 first-half
points off the bench.
“It’s amazing. You
come to a school like this
and you talk about doing
things like this and mak-
ing history and playing
in front of these bright
lights,” Cuncliffe said.
“We prepared the right
way. We had our mind set
in the right spot that we
could actually do it. It is
surreal.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Everything you say and do has
influence. It’s easy to note the
first few ripples caused by an
action. That’s all most people
take note of. But keep watching,
because today’s ripples are
extremely far-reaching.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Instead of hoping for the best,
take more control of the situ-
ation. How could it go wrong?
This is where pessimism is an
asset. And here’s how it will go
right: You’ll anticipate, prevent
and succeed.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll do the work of a passion-
ate individual, one who is not
consumed with the bottom fi-
tant at Louisville under
Rick Pitino and in the
NBA before returning to
his hometown to coach
the Purple Aces.
Evansville made nine
of 30 3-point attempts
while shooting 38% from
the field to Kentucky’s
37%. The Aces also outre-
bounded the Wildcats 38-
35 and were edged by just
two in points in the paint.
“We started off saying,
OK, we’re going to punch
them in the mouth and
not let them punch us in
the mouth first,” Williams
said. “Once we started
getting stops, they start-
ed turning the ball over,
things like that. We saw
that, and we took advan-
tage.”

which he eventually paid a
$200 taxi ride for her to go to
her parents’ house where she
was spending the weekend.
Now they text after work hours
(presumably while he is home
with his wife and kids), and
he has invited her out to lunch
and drinks, which she has
rebuffed.
I asked her what their goal
was for this “relationship”
— do they want an affair?
Something more? She says
they are just friends, and she’s
mad at me for even question-
ing it. She just broke up with
her longtime boyfriend, and I
don’t want her to get hurt by
getting involved with this man
from her office. Any advice?
— WORRIED FRIEND IN NEW

DEAR WORRIED FRIEND:
You asked your friend an
intelligent question. Now it’s
time to step back out of the

nancial line but with the whole
impact of a cycle of meaningful,
purposeful contribution.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ll share what you do and
who you are in a way that gets
people talking. While they are
free to have their own impres-
sions, you’re also pretty clever
at presenting things in a light
that leans most to your desired
response.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There are things to start up and
things to shut down. The time
has come to start looking at
the entire picture and deciding
which is which. Your mind is
clear, and your heart is true.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
When you enter a room full of
people, what do you see? Excit-
ing potential and unique oppor-
tunity? An obstacle course to
navigate? A political minefield?
Get your mindset aligned with
the outcome you’re hoping for.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
The very nature of a support
system is that the help is not all
coming from one source. That
would just be a support pillar.
Consider your system. Couldn’t
you use a few more beams and
pressure absorbers?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Curiosity elevates life from
ordinary to extraordinary. The
trouble comes when curiosity
strays from the situation at
hand, thus developing into dis-
traction. Keep bringing attention
back to the current moment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You’ll be dealing with
a thing that requires your
constant attention. It will feel
as though you are riding this --
steering it with all parts of your
being, every inch of the way.
Well, that’s what it takes to get
there.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). If you like how you feel
around a person, you’ll want to
be with that person. This simple
principle of attraction will be at
the root of the day’s surprising
developments.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Every relationship brings
a lesson. The theme of today’s
tutorial is fear. You’ll think about
what you might be afraid of,
overcoming that, and how you
might comfort and allay the
fears of others.

Cassie’s cakes

Cassie Black puts finishing touches on a Thanksgiving-themed cake Saturday at her home in the New Hope area. Cassie’s Cakes designs can be seen at face-

H
ave you ever wondered how cake
makers turn out those intricately
decorated creations? Have you
pondered whether you could learn to
do it yourself? Cassie Black in the New
Hope community believes there is every
chance you can. As Cassie’s Cakes, Black
has been taking orders for cakes, cup-
cakes and cookies for all occasions since
2006, but she also offers to teach cake
decorating to anyone interested. It’s a
craft she’s been interested in ever since
a high school job with Baskin Robbins in
Columbus in the mid-’90s taught her how
to make roses out of icing.
“It was about 11 years later that I saw
in the newspaper about someone giving
cake decorating classes in Starkville,”
the mother of four recalled. Her curiosity
had her signing up; she completed the
Wilton cake decorating courses 1, 2 and
3. Wilton is a premier supplier of cake
baking and decorating products. Black is
a certified instructor in the Wilton Meth-
od of Cake Decorating and is a former
cake decorating instructor at Michael’s in
Columbus.
On Saturday, she put finishing touches
on a cake to take to a luncheon the follow-
ing day at Immanuel Baptist Church, her
church home.

“I just figured out on my own
how to do it,” she remarked as
she demonstrated making tiny
pumpkins to top of her Thanks-
giving-themed dessert. After
rolling a clump of orange-col-
ored fondant icing into a ball,
she used a decorating tool to
put indentations in it to resem-
ble the “ribs” on a pumpkin’s
surface. That finished, she used
a bag of ocher-tinted icing to
add a delicate, miniature stem.
Black enjoys working one-
on-one with others who want
to learn or improve their skills
with buttercream frosting and
fondant. Fondant, a thick paste
made from sugar, water, gelatin,
vegetable fat or shortening and
glycerol, lends itself to decora-
tive sculpting.
“Fondant is stiffer to eat, but
a lot of people like it,” said Black
while working with a selection
of bags filled with frostings in
autumn colors. She likes work-
ing on a variety of designs that
reflect a theme or the recipient’s
favorite things — whether they
be sharks, baseballs, cameras
or airplanes.
“I enjoy watching cake
decorating videos on YouTube,”
Black said, noting that Wilton

offers plenty, on everything
from how to use specific icing
tips to how to make a mermaid
tail cake. Additionally, local arts
and crafts stores like Michael’s
and Hobby Lobby are handy for
quick decorating necessities;
they can also inspire some
ideas.
For Black and other bakers
who take orders for custom
goodies, the oft-busiest time of
year is soon upon them — the
holidays. It’s a time to celebrate
with festive seasonal designs,
whether for cookies or a
three-tier cake. And for aspiring
decorators, maybe it’s the time
to check into honing new skills.
“It’s pretty easy once you
learn it,” Black said. “I’m still
not perfect and try to practice
more all the time.” The best
reward is often the reaction.
“I like making people happy
with the cakes I make, to be
able to surprise them with
them,” she said. “Sometimes I
even surprise myself.”
