Music on the battlefield

Written by Victoria Cheyne

William Pat Arinder plays an 1850s banjo on Friday morning at the Amory Regional Museum. Arinder leads history programs that
teach children about the role of music during the American Civil War. The banjo was often used to help both Union and Confederate
troops unwind when they returned to their camps. Photo by Jennifer Mosbrucker/Dispatch Staff

From fifes and drums to banjos and bugles, the role of music
in the American military spans from the Revolutionary War to today

O
n a hot summer’s day, William Pat
Arinder sat outside a log cabin
built in 1838, frailing “Oh! Susan-
na” on an 1850s banjo. He wore a but-
toned-up wool Confederate jacket, faded
grey with red detailing at the collar and
sleeves, designed for a lanky artillery
soldier, with tall leather riding boots and
a brown hat embellished with a gold ‘C’
on the side.
A vest from a Union uniform laid on
the porch nearby.
Arinder looked like a soldier straight
from a Civil War tintype, but it wasn’t the
1860s. It wasn’t even the 19th century.
It was Friday, and Arinder strummed
his banjo outside a preserved log cabin
at Amory Regional Museum, surround-
ed by stop signs, moving cars and
modern-day houses. Arinder seemed
implanted in a spot hundreds of years
ahead of him.
Arinder, 73, is a Civil War re-enactor,
teacher and self-made historian, who
plays popular campfire songs of the time
on a period banjo he bought on Ebay for
about $500.
He started participating in battle
re-enactments in the early 1990s and
noticed that no one was playing music
off the battlefield, beyond the fife, drum
and bugle. Music soldiers would play
around the campfire at night — with
banjos, spoons or bones, harmonicas and
fiddles — was left out of the picture. So

way for folks to celebrate In-

family-friendly events. CAFB
held its celebration on July
3 while the city of Starkville
held its celebration on July
4. Both were filled with fun
activities that culminated in
a fireworks show. Beyond
the events themselves, both
offered us an opportunity to
gather as communities for a
common purpose, something
that seems to happen less and
less frequently in today’s po-
litically-charged environment.
The common thread of love
of country unites us in an im-
portant way and reminds us
that we may sometimes hold
different views, but we remain
alike on the most important
things. And, of course, it was
an awful lot of fun, too.

to fill the seat vacated by Lee
Brand, who resigned earlier
this month. All three would
bring excellent credentials
and valuable experience to
the board. No doubt, when
the board of aldermen inter-
view the candidates and make
their appointment at its July
16 meeting, it will be a diffi-
cult choice. Any of the three
would be excellent choices.
That’s a really good problem
to have.

Comments on right to life
in Mississippi
The abortion issue brought on by
the recent legislation in a number of
states is quite disturbing. Those who
are so anxious to preserve the life of
babies from conception seem to have
little concern for them after they are
born. Mississippi has the highest
infant mortality rate of any state in
the country. Alabama and Georgia
are not far behind. In 2017 over 300
babies in Mississippi died during
their first year of life. The Mississip-
pi Department of Heath reported that
40 percent of these died on the first
day of birth. Another 25 percent died
within the first 30 days. Yet many of
our legislators show little concern for
providing adequate health care for
these newborn infants, many of whom
are born to single mothers or families
with limited incomes. The failure to
accept and expand Medicaid is only
one example. The failure to provide
adequate funding for various child
care programs is another. Too often
many of the mothers of these children
can not afford daycare on the low
salaries they earn, making it difficult
to maintain a job. It all seems a little
hypocritical. Being Pro-life should
carry over beyond birth. How about Birney Imes/Dispatch Staff

showing some real concern for these
children after their birth as well as
when they are in the womb?

Thoughts on recent newscasts
I watched interviews of some
George Washington University
students this morning and when
they were asked the question, “Do
you think America is great?” Their
answer was no! Then, they were
asked what country was great. One
of them answered, Canada. My
question is why are they in America?
Maybe waiting on free college, free
health care and all the other free stuff
offered by some politicians. Most of
these kids probably have never had
to work for anything. Mommy and
daddy have given them everything.
Their parents might be those wealthy
people the liberals want to tax so all
the free stuff can be given to them.
Just a thought.
The liberal media and talking
heads blew it again. They said the
4th of July celebration would be
political in Washington, D.C. and
Trump might even declare martial
law with all the military equipment
being staged in the area. Oops! No
declaration made or any political spin
presented. My, my, I can’t believe the
media got it wrong again. No Russian
collusion either, just plain old patrio-
tism spoken. Giving honor to the 1%
that serve today and to the millions
that have fought and died in the past.
If the aerial fly over didn’t fire you up
with patriotism, your wood is wet. I,
for one am proud to be an American. I
support our troops and salute and re-
spect our flag. I’ll repeat the phrase,
“if you don’t love America, I’ll help
you pack so you can leave”. There are
plenty others that I am sure will help
too.
God Bless America!

Mississippi River guide and conservationist John Ruskey surveys a back channel route during a day trip on the river near
Clarksdale this past week. Still at flood stage, the 2019 Mississippi River flood has set records for its duration and the
volume of water.
Delta morning
CLARKSDALE — According
to RiverGator, the online pad-
dler’s guide to the Lower Mis-
sissippi River, Quapaw Landing
offers easiest access to the
Mississippi River from here.
Around 6:30 one morning
last week, as I was poking along
Oakhurst-Stovall Road headed in
that direction, two men in a black
Chrysler convertible glided past.
They had the top down, win-
dows rolled up and were absorbed Birney Imes
in conversation.
I would say they were a curious
sight at that hour — and they were — but so was my bat-
tered Tacoma with a 15-foot kayak dangling out its back.
Once it clears the city limits, Oakhurst-Stovall Road
runs almost due north. The road is bordered by a lush
bayou to the east and well-ordered pecan groves and deep
fields of soybeans and corn on the west.
About six miles from town, a Blues Trail marker me-
morializes the childhood home of Muddy Waters. Here
in 1941-42 the bluesman responsible for “Got My Mojo
Workin’” and “Hoochie Coochie Man” made his first
recordings with Library of Congress ethnomusicologist
Alan Lomax.
Clarksdale, once just another fading Delta town, has
seized upon its music heritage and is now a destination
for blues pilgrims who cross oceans to come here and
breathe the dust of gravel roads and sweat in the same
heat and humidity as the now larger-than-life legends
who produced a music revered around the globe.
A card taped to a shop window — few businesses here
don’t have some reference to the blues in their name or
window displays — lists 21 festivals in Clarksdale for
2019. They range from the Juke Joint Festival to Goat
Make Your Voice Heard
Write The Dispatch: voice@cdispatch.com
Fest VI to Burdine’s Blues and Greens Fest to the Ten-
nessee Williams Festival (Williams’ family moved here
shortly after his birth in Columbus).
During these fêtes, the town hums with activity.
Restaurants are crowded and hotel rooms scarce, but in
these languid days of early July, the place has the air of
an amusement park in off-season.
Two deer step from a woods to watch us pass. They
have been driven from their habitat by a flooded Missis-
sippi that refuses to recede. Two nights from now, two
companions and I will drive past fields teeming with
displaced deer, large herds of them.
The ditches are lined with small, delicate purple
wildflowers. I stop and take a picture. The plant identifi-
cation app on my phone says it’s widow’s tears, a type of
dayflower.
By now the road has turned to gravel. A right turn
leads to the grassy apron of the river levee. The road runs
parallel to the levee for a while and then angles upward
and over before ending at the water’s edge, well above the
submerged landing.
I get out of my truck and breathe in a landscape
throbbing with life. The unceasing din of bird chatter, the
impenetrable vegetation and the swirling muddy water
rushing through the trees combine to give the effect of
nature as a single organism.
About 150 yards downstream, an overgrown cluster of
orange trumpet vine appears to spew from the top of an
almost submerged water gage.
Time to launch. I take a deep breath and look down at
my boat and paddle nestled in its cockpit. On the exposed
paddle blade a monarch butterfly has landed and is care-
fully flexing its wings.
I take it as a good omen and after she flutters away
slide the kayak into the brown river.

Civil War music
Continued from Page 1A
Arinder bought his banjo and a
bunch of Civil War songbooks
and found his chosen role,
at a crossroads between his
lifelong passions for music and
history.
“When I would go, I would
sit around the camps playing
music, and it turned into what
my thing was,” Arinder said.
The banjo he strums in
Union and Confederate camps
is far different than the first
banjo he played, the one he
made in 2008, featuring a
piece of wood carved into a
round head with a swatch of
artificial skin placed in the
center. He called the process,
which totaled 40 hours over
one month, “pretty easy,”
although one look at the 1970s
Foxfire Series diagrams he
used as reference would tell
you otherwise.
“These are called mountain
banjos, because they were
made by hand by folks back
in the Appalachian Mountains
that could not afford a facto-
ry-made banjo,” Arinder said.
Right when he picked up
the banjo, it just came natu-
rally, Arinder said. He didn’t
have the same way with the
trombone, guitar, harmonica,
fiddle, mandolin or mountain
dulcimer that he tried to mas-
ter earlier in his life.
“The banjo is really my
instrument,” Arinder said. “It
just fits, that’s all. ... I never
was able to master the fiddle.”
When he unpacks his
instrument from its black
coffin case and plays — after
instructing those around him
to keep the beat for him with a
pair of wooden spoons — that
talent is obvious. He knows
his craft, and he’ll explain how
Civil War banjos didn’t have
frets — metal strips along
the fingerboard — and how
musicians strummed them by
a style called “clawhammer.”
Then he’ll pluck his banjo and
sing tunes from his Stephen
Foster set, which includes
“Camptown Races,” “Beautiful
Dreamer” and “Old Folks at
Home,” without a hitch.
Arinder has come to
appreciate music’s role in the
common soldier’s experience
— one that dates back long
before even the Revolutionary
War. The “singing, cutting up
and dancing” was relief from
fear and anguish soldiers
experienced, regardless of
their side.
“It was a relief from the
stress of being away from
home, being lonesome, fear
of being killed or wounded,”
Arinder said.
History of music
on the battlefield
In early American wars, in-
cluding the Revolutionary War,
the War of 1812 and the Civil
War, music was the primary
William Pat Arinder is dressed in a Confederate uniform as he
plays his banjo in front of an 1830s cabin on Friday morning at the

used to identify a soldier’s role in the troop’s artillery.
medium for an important job
on the battlefield: communi-
cation, said Jim Woodrick,
deputy state historic preserva-
tion officer for the Mississippi
Department of Archives and
History.
Drum and bugle patterns
would inform troops to change
direction and formation above
the loud soundtrack of bat-
tle, when voice commands
wouldn’t suffice.
Communication was the
primary purpose of having mu-
sicians in the ranks, Woodrick
said, but bolstering morale
was a secondary objective of
wartime music men.
“They were there to inspire
the troops,” Woodrick said.
When musicians weren’t
playing, they would serve in
other roles, such as hospital
stewards. But as the war went
on, bands quieted down while
musicians were tapped as addi-
tional troops, Woodrick said.
In the 21st century, com-
munication by drum and
bugle isn’t necessary, making
music’s place in the military
far more ceremonial.
“Now we have telephones
and radios and all of that good
stuff,” Woodrick said.
Music in combat isn’t entire-
ly obsolete, though, at least at
Columbus Air Force Base.
Most alarms on the base

are voice alarms and com-
puterized sounds, which
are far more efficient than a
drummer or bugler parading
the grounds. However, in the
case of an imminent attack,
American history would come
into play. A recording of the
bugle call “To Arms” would
warn airmen the same way it’s
riled up soldiers for centuries,
according to Senior Airman
Beaux Hebert with CAFB’s
public affairs office.
Furthermore, bugle songs,
although not played live, are
still part of everyday opera-
tions on the base.
Each duty day starts with
morning bugle calls over the
loudspeakers. At 7 a.m., the
flags are raised with “Reveil-
le,” written in 1812 as “Troop”
for roll call, followed by “To
the Colors,” Hebert said.
At the end of the work day,
“Retreat” sounds throughout
the base followed by the na-
tional anthem at 5 p.m. Quiet
time on base begins at 9 p.m.,
when “Taps” is played.
The songs are played to
honor the nation and “pay re-
spect to what (the flag) stands
for,” Hebert said. The calls are
a preservation of history.
A real-life war musician
At least one man who lived
in the Golden Triangle area
Alexander Green Hogan, of the prominent Hogan family in Starkville,
was buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery after he died in 1905. He was
a musician for the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
played the war-musician part
in real life. Alexander Green
Hogan, of Starkville, served as
a musician for the Confederate
Army.
Born in Huntsville, Ala-
bama in 1829, Hogan moved to
Starkville as a young boy with
his parents, Elijah Hogan and
Mary Lampkin Hogan.
Hogan was a member of the
Lowndes Riflemen, Company B
of the 43rd Mississippi Infan-
try regiment. After enlisting,
Hogan transferred rank from
private to musician on May 1,
1862, in Columbus, according
to records within the Ames and
Hogan families’ papers housed
at Mississippi State Universi-
ty’s Mitchell Memorial Library.
The collection documents
the families’ histories from
1816 to 1910 and contains
receipts, letters, speeches, and
miscellaneous documents and
items.
It’s unclear what instrument
Hogan played.
After the Siege of Vicks-
burg, which ended July 4,
1863, Hogan surrendered as a
prisoner of war to Gen. Ulysses
S. Grant, according to records
within the collection’s third
folder.
Hogan was released and
captured again later in the war
near Nashville, Tennessee, on
Dec. 15, 1864, according to the
records.
At the precipice of the Civil
War, Hogan was listed as a
merchant in Oktibbeha County
Census records in 1860, and
later a “Dry Goods Merchant”
in 1880 census records. He was
listed as a farmer in the 1900
census.
Hogan died on Aug. 6,
1905 at age 76. He’s buried at
the Odd Fellows Cemetery in
Starkville with other members
of the Hogan family.

Preventing the mistakes
of the past
After retiring from careers in
banking and insurance, Arinder
is free to do what he really likes
— yes, dressing up and playing
the banjo for re-enactments
several times a year, to keep a
somewhat “overlooked” part of
history alive.
“Around here when you go to
re-enactment, everybody wants
to be Confederate,” Arinder
said, laughing. “They have a
hard time finding anybody to
be Union. ... You’ll have 100
Confederates and 10 Union
folks, and so I usually go Union
because they can’t get anybody
else to do it.”
Arinder had 12 ancestors
fight in the Civil War — 11 for
the Confederacy, and one for
the Union, so he especially
doesn’t mind playing for both
teams.
“I guess it’s kind of in my
genes that I just loved history,”
Arinder said.
Arinder also pulls out the
wool vests and pants and leather
boots to teach history programs
in area schools, churches, civic
centers and museums through
the Natchez Trace Parkway.
He said he has always tried
to incorporate music into his
programs, about prehistoric
Native Americans, early pioneer
settlers and music during the
Civil War, because he simply
enjoys music and understands
it as “a universal language” that
“was important to our ances-
tors, too.”
However, he thinks it’s most
important to study and teach
about history to prevent, or at-
tempt to prevent, mistakes from
recurring. He said he doesn’t
glamorize war in his lessons.
“If people could sit down and
talk things out, a lot of it could
be avoided,” Arinder said.

DNA-collecting agencies use genetic data for research

Activists point out there is little oversight
over companies that store DNA
BY ISABELLE ALTMAN
ialtman@cdispatch.com
A strand of
DNA analyzed in
a rape kit from
1990 was the key
piece of evidence
in Starkville
Police Depart-
ment’s 28-year-
old investigation Lott
into the murders of Betty Jones
and Kathryn Crigler.
But until last year, that DNA
hadn’t matched to anyone, lead-
ing Jones’ family to start an on-
line petition for the Mississippi
Attorney General’s Office to
look into whether investigators
could use familial DNA — DNA
obtained from suspects’ family
members — to try and identify
suspects through relatives.
“We strongly believe (famil-
ial DNA) can be the next step in
solving this case,” Jones’ grand-
son, Simon Jones, told The Dis-
patch in August 2018.
Less than two months lat-
er, Rienzi resident Michael
Devaughn was charged with
Jones’ and Crigler’s murders af-
ter investigators matched DNA
taken from one of his cigarette
butts in a separate arrest to the
DNA profile from Crigler’s rape
kit.
Authorities have not said
whether familial DNA played
any part in Devaughn’s arrest.
But the idea of using familial
DNA struck a chord with the
case investigator, SPD Sgt. Bill
Lott. Before Devaughn’s arrest,
Lott sent the DNA to Califor-
nia-based Parabon Lab, which
had been assisting law enforce-
ment agencies throughout the
country with cold cases.
But in a world where increas-
ing numbers of people are vol-
untarily submitting their DNA
to ancestry companies for anal-
ysis, some legislators and activ-
ists are questioning the ethics
of police matching a suspect’s
DNA to that of a family member
— or of companies collecting
and sharing that information at
all.
“People should be aware that
their DNA contains really sen-
sitive information about them-
selves and about everyone that
they’re related to,” said Katie
Hasson, the pro-
gram director on
genetic justice
with the Califor-
nia-based Center
for Genetics and
Society, which
lobbies for regula-
Hasson
tion of genetic in-
formation. “So when you make
your decision to send your DNA
off to one of these companies to
try to find out more about your
family background … you’re
not just revealing your own ge-
netic information but also all of
your family members.”
Using the data
Since the advent of compa-
nies like Ancestry.com and
23andMe, millions of people
have submitted their DNA to
discover their ancestry. But that
DNA can be used for more than
piecing together family trees.
Customers of 23andMe can
choose whether to have their
DNA used for genetic research,
company spokesperson Liza
Crenshaw said in an email to
The Dispatch. About 80 per-
cent of customers have agreed,
leading the company to publish
research in conjunction with
Ivy League universities and the
National Institute of Health on
health issues and even human
origins.
“23andMe has published
more than 130 studies on a va-
riety of conditions, from mo-
tion sickness and skin disease,
to various types of cancer,”
Crenshaw said. “23andMe also
conducts research on how ge-
netics affect you in your daily
life, like whether or not you’re
genetically predisposed to be
more of a morning person, and
associations with genetics and
allergies.”
She added 23andMe has nev-
er shared data with law enforce-
ment.
However, GEDmatch.com,
an online database that collects
DNA, notes in its privacy pol-
icies that DNA results may be
shared with law enforcement in
order to comply with warrants
and subpoenas, and that DNA
obtained in the investigation of
a violent crime may be among
the raw data already submitted
to the database.
Hasson noted private com-
panies such as 23andMe have
some incentive to keep custom-
ers’ information private, but
there is little oversight. The
companies are the ones deter-
mining what they do with the
data and with whom they share
it.
“Those privacy protections
are at the company’s initiative
and they can change them at
any time,” she said. “… It’s not
the same as health information
that you have at the doctor’s of-
fice where it’s regulated under
HIPPA regulations.”
Currently federal law states
neither employers nor health
insurance companies can dis-
criminate against an individual
based on genetic information,
Hasson said — a law which
doesn’t cover life insurance or
long-term care insurance com-
panies. She also said with DNA
technology advancing so rapid-
ly, there’s no way to know how
that data will be used in the fu-
ture.
“Once your DNA info is out
there, it’s out there,” Hasson
said. “And it’s not something
that you can change like your
credit card number or even
your Social Security number.
… This genetic information is
unique because it tells some-
thing potentially about your
family background, potentially
about your current or future
health and those things about
your children now and in the
future.”

DNA testing
Continued from Page 1A
And in the case of Lillie
Eubanks’ branch, Beard is
making progress.
“I was able to find my
great-grandmother’s
family through DNA,” she
said. “I’ve connected to
third and fourth cousins
and found out her name
was Taylor.”
That’s where the story
stops — for now.
Doing the research
Beard’s no stranger to
poring through census
data, wills and other
historic records of local
history and genealogy.
Growing up, her favorite
subject was history.
“I’ve always loved re-
searching and I’ve always
loved reading,” she said.
For the last 10 years,
she’s been helping others
— mostly people who
were adopted — track
down family members.
She’s submitted samples
of her DNA to both An-
cestry.com and 23andMe,
two companies which
analyze DNA to help nar-
row down locations and
ethnicities of a person’s
ancestry. Ancestry.com
also links to archives of
historic records, which
anyone who has an ac-
count can search.
That means people like
Beard, who both have an
account and submitted
DNA, can find other
members with matching
DNA and cross-refer-
ence their family trees to
find common ancestors.
According to an email
from Ancestry.com to
The Dispatch, members
have created more than
100 million family trees.
Other similar companies
have done the same.
That was the case
for Starkville resident
Kay Parker, who began
submitting male family
members’ DNA for testing
with Family Tree Maker,
a company that branched
off from Ancestry.com,
about eight years ago.
She had gotten into
genealogy in 2009 when
she and an old friend got
together on vacation.
“I did not know any-
thing about genealogy
prior to that, but we met at
a library and she showed
me a census where my
grandparents (were) on it
and I was hooked,” Parker
said.
A couple of years later,
she had her brother and
another male Parker
in the area submit Y
DNA, which is passed
from father to son and
can confirm direct male
ancestors.
“(The other Parker)
was a very good research-
er and he had taken
his lineage back to the
1600s,” Parker said. “So
what I know is on his line,
I have a common grand-
father somewhere ... but
I don’t know where it is.
I’ve been able to trace
my Parker lineage back
to Jacob Parker who was
born in 1753 and he was
a sergeant in the militia
and he’s a (Revolutionary
War) patriot.”
Parker has also sub-
mitted a sample of her
own autosomal DNA,
which takes DNA from
both father and mother.
That means a match
found online could be re-
lated through any branch
on the family tree.
“You’re not looking
for your name anymore,
and sometimes you have
a match to a person
(whose) name you don’t
even recognize,” Parker
said. “But if neither one
of you have done your
paper trail, you have no
way of determining how
you’re related or even if
you’re related.”
That’s key, she said.
DNA can provide the
biological link between
people, but without “proof
documents” — census
records, birth and death
certificates, and other re-
cords that place a person
in a time and place — it’s
a stab in the dark how
people are related.
“You have to do your
research,” she said.
“There’s no way getting
around the research.”
The Revolution,
Jamestown and beyond
By tracing their family
trees back through the
generations, both Beard
and Parker have con-
firmed ancestors and dis-
covered new ones, some
of whom can be placed in
the most iconic moments
of American history.
Parker discovered her
second great-grandfather
is the son of Mississippi-
an Joseph Powell McGe-
hee, who fought in the
Civil War and died in a
hospital outside Atlanta
in 1864. McGehee is
a direct descendant of
Revolutionary War patriot
Lt. William McGehee,
who fought with the
Prince George County,
Virginia, militia. He is
a direct descendant of
Adam Thoroughgood (or
possibly Thowogood),
who at age 19, arrived in
Jamestown, Virginia in
1621, less than 20 years
... when we start thinking
about family history. And
the baby boomers are
such a large population
now.
“The younger people
see the commercials and
they don’t understand
that ... you don’t learn
anything unless you
do the paperwork,” she
added. “... It’s not just do
the DNA testing and your
ancestors are revealed.”
Beard has a slightly
different take on it. Par-
tially, she said, it appeals
to history lovers. For her,
though, she simply wants
to discover things no one
else knows.

in an orphanage. She’s
even connected with

Schools still struggling with how to teach about slavery

Southern Poverty Law Center: ‘Teaching about slavery
is hard. No national consensus exists on how to teach
about slavery, and there is little leadership. ... It is time
to change this state of affairs’
By CAROLYN THOMPSON
The Associated Press
“They made me a slave
today.”
Aneka Burton still
remembers the way her
then 10-year-old son, Nik-
ko, who is black, recount-
ed his experience to his
grandfather after school
one day.
It was 2011. But Burton
believes the classroom
exercise in which Nikko’s
classmates were encour-
aged to examine and pre-
tend to bid on each other
during a history lesson
continues to affect his life,
even now as an 18-year-
old high school graduate.
“He tries to act like it
didn’t bother him, but I
really think it changed
him,” the Gahanna, Ohio,
mother said.
It’s those memories
that leave her shaking her
head years later as reports
about mock slave auctions
continue to emerge, re-
minders that schools are
still struggling with how
to teach about slavery and
its impacts.
There are no national
standards on how to teach
about slavery, although it
is often recommended as
a topic in curriculum at
the state and local levels,
according to Lawrence
Paska, executive director
of the National Council for
the Social Studies. The
guidance leaves specific
lessons up to schools and
teachers, who on several
occasions have caused
offense with attempts to
bring history to life.
An investigation by
New York Attorney Gen-
eral Letitia James found
in May that a mock “slave
auction” that singled out
black students at the pri-
vate Chapel School in
Westchester County had
a profoundly negative
effect on all involved stu-
dents.
“Lessons designed to
separate children on the
basis of race have no place
in New York classrooms,
or in classrooms through-
out this country,” James
said.
Other recent examples
include an “Escaping Slav-
ery” game that gave North
Carolina fourth-graders a
freedom punch card that
read: “If your group runs
into trouble four times,
you will be severely pun-
ished and sent back to the
plantation to work as a
slave.” Families also crit-
icized a Virginia obstacle
course intended to repli-
cate the underground rail-
road, navigated by third-,
fourth- and fifth-graders
pretending to be runaway
slaves.
“Teaching about slav-
ery is hard,” summarized
a 2018 report from the
Southern Poverty Law
Center, which surveyed
more than 1,700 social
studies teachers and an-
alyzed textbooks. “No
national consensus exists
on how to teach about
slavery, and there is little
leadership. ... It is time
to change this state of af-
fairs.”
Dozens of teachers
surveyed reported sim-
ulations as their favorite
lessons when teaching
about slavery, according
to the report, though its
authors and others said
such re-enactments do
more harm than good.
At the Chapel School,
the fifth-grade teacher
who led the mock auction
in March was fired. The
school agreed to hire a di-
versity officer and change
its discipline practices
after parents complained
that black students were
lined up against a wall
wearing imaginary shack-
les and “sold” to their
white peers.

US adds solid 224,000 jobs,

making Fed rate cut less certain
‘Although there are drags on the

WASHINGTON — have now added, on aver-
U.S. employers sharply
stepped up their hiring
in June, adding a robust
224,000 jobs, an indica-
tion of the economy’s du-
rability after more than a
decade of expansion.
The strength of the
jobs report the govern-
ment issued Friday could
complicate a decision for
the Federal Reserve late
this month on whether to
cut interest rates to help
support the economy.
Most investors have an-
ticipated a rate cut in July
and perhaps one or two
additional Fed cuts later
in the year. That scenario
may be less likely now.
Stocks sold off early
Friday before paring their
losses later. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average
closed down a modest 43
points. But the yield on
the 10-year U.S. Treasury
note climbed to 2.04 per-
cent from just under 2 per-
cent before the jobs report
was released, reflecting a
view that the Fed might
now be less inclined to cut
rates multiple times.
June’s solid job growth
followed a tepid gain of
72,000 jobs in May, a re-
sult that had fueled con-
and aggressively pressed
the central bank to do.
“If we had a Fed that
would lower interest
rates, we’d be like a rock-
et ship,” the president as-
serted to reporters in an
appearance Friday. “But

age, a solid 171,000 jobs
for the past three months.
Last month’s burst of hir-
ing suggests that many
employers have shrugged
off concerns about weaker
growth, President Donald
Trump’s trade wars and
the waning benefits from
U.S. tax cuts.
“Although there are
drags on the economy
in 2019, the expansion
should continue through
this year,” said Gus Fau-
cher, chief economist at
PNC Financial Services.
“The doom and gloom
was overblown.”
The unemployment
rate ticked up to 3.7 per-
cent in June from 3.6
percent for the previous
two months, reflecting an
influx of people seeking
jobs who were initially
counted as unemployed.
Average hourly wages
rose 3.1 percent from a
year ago.
Trump responded to
Friday’s jobs report by
tweeting, “JOBS, JOBS,
JOBS!” But the strong hir-
ing gains have lessened
the case, at least for now,
for the Fed to slash rates
as Trump has repeatedly

Justice Department presses

for census citizenship question
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Justice Department says
it will press its search for
legal grounds to force the
inclusion of a citizenship
question on the 2020 cen-
sus, hours after President
Donald Trump said he is
“very seriously” consid-
ering an executive order
to get the question on the
form.
Trump said Friday
his administration is ex-
ploring a number of legal
options, but the Justice
Department did not say ex-
actly what options remain
now that the Supreme
Court has barred the ques-
tion at least temporarily.
The government has
already begun the pro-
cess of printing the census
questionnaire without that
question.
The administration’s
focus on asking broadly
about citizenship for the
first time since 1950 re-
flects the enormous polit-
ical stakes and potential
costs in the once-a-decade
population count that de-
termines the allocation of
seats in the House of Rep-
resentatives for the next 10
years and the distribution
of some $675 billion in
federal spending. It also
reflects Trump’s interest
in reshaping how congres-
sional districts are drawn.
“You need it for Con-
gress, for districting,” he
said Friday. “How many
people are there? Are they
citizens? Are they not citi-
zens? You need it for many
reasons.”
Districts now are based
on the total population.
Some Republicans want
them based on the popu-
lation of eligible voters, a
change that could disad-
vantage Democrats by ex-
cluding immigrants.

Mystery of NSA leak lingers as stolen document case winds up

By TAMI ABDOLLAH
and ERIC TUCKER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON —
Federal agents descend-
ed on the suburban
Maryland house with the
flash and bang of a stun
grenade, blocked off the
street and spent hours
questioning the home-
owner about a theft of
government documents
that prosecutors would
later describe as “breath-
taking” in its scale.
The suspect, Harold
Martin, was a contrac-
tor for the National Se-
curity Agency. His ar-
rest followed news of a
devastating disclosure
of government hacking
tools by a mysterious in-
ternet group calling itself
the Shadow Brokers. It
seemed to some that the
United States might have
found another Edward
Snowden, who also had
been a contractor for the
agency.
“You’re a bad man.
There’s no way around
that,” one law enforce-
ment official conducting
the raid told Martin, court
papers say. “You’re a bad
man.”
Later this month, about
three years after that raid,
the case against Martin is
scheduled to be resolved
in Baltimore’s federal
court. But the identity of
the Shadow Brokers, and
whoever was responsible
for a leak with extraor-
dinary national security
implications, will remain
a public mystery even as
the case concludes.
Authorities have estab-
lished that Martin walked
off with thousands of pag-
es of secret documents
over a two-decade career
in national security, most
recently with the NSA,
whose headquarters is
about 15 miles from his
home in Glen Burnie,
Maryland. He pleaded
guilty to a single count of
willful retention of nation-
al defense information
and faces a nine-year pris-
on sentence under a plea
deal.
Investigators found in
his home and car detailed
description of computer
infrastructure and classi-
fied technical operations
in a raid that took place
two weeks after the Shad-
ow Brokers surfaced on-
line to advertise the sale of
some of the NSA’s closely
guarded hacking tools.
Yet authorities have never
publicly linked Martin or
anyone else to the Shad-
ow Brokers and the U.S.
has not announced wheth-
er it suspects government
insiders, Russian intelli-
gence or someone else
entirely.
The question is im-
portant because the U.S.
believes North Korea
and Russia relied on the
stolen tools, which pro-
vide the means to exploit
software vulnerabilities
in critical infrastructure,
in unleashing punishing
global cyberattacks on
businesses, hospitals and
cities. The release, which
occurred while the NSA
was already under scruti-
ny because of Snowden’s
2013 disclosures, raised
questions about the gov-
ernment’s ability to main-
tain secrets.

Marlins break
out with 15 hits,
beat Braves 5-4
The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Caleb Smith wasn’t sat-

isfied with his first start in a month.
Thanks to a productive day by the Na-
tional League’s worst offense, Smith’s
return was good enough to beat the first-
place Braves.
Yadiel Rivera hit a go-ahead, two-run
single in the fifth inning and the Miami
Marlins beat Atlanta 5-4 on Saturday for
only their second win over the Braves
this season.
Smith (4-4) returned from missing 26
games with a hip injury to give up four
runs, three earned, in six innings. It was
his first start since June 6.
“Physically I felt good,” Smith said.

The Braves had been 9-1 against Mi-
ami before the Marlins snapped a five-
game losing streak. The Marlins’ strug-
gling offense, shut out in a 1-0 loss to
Atlanta in the series opener, had 15 hits,
including homers by Harold Ramirez
and Starlin Castro. The shot by Castro
reached the second level of the left-field
seats.
“We swing the bats really good,” Cas-
tro said. “It’s not easy to beat those guys.”
Rivera was hitting .125 with one RBI
before his line-drive single to left field
drove in Garrett Cooper and Castro.
“The one pitch to the eighth-place hit-
ter is the one that hurt,” said Braves man-
ager Brian Snitker of Rivera’s at-bat.
Braves left-hander Max Fried gave up
three runs on four hits in the fifth.
“I just left some balls over the plate

Fried said.

SOCCER: 2019 WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

Dutch need to stop U.S. from scoring early in final

The Associated Press Dutch defense.

LYON, France — It’s easy for Nether-

lands coach Sarina Wiegman to see the
huge challenge facing her team Sunday
in the Women’s World Cup final against
the United States.
She only needs to take one look at
the scoring charts. Alex Morgan has six
goals and Megan Rapinoe has five. The
U.S. has scored 24 goals in six games,
including a jaw-dropping 18 in the group
stage.
“The chances of us going behind are
big,” Wiegman said Saturday. “We will
need to be very focused and sharp, espe-
cially for the first 15 minutes.”
The reigning European champions
are in their first World Cup final; the
U.S. aiming for a fourth world title.
“We’re the underdog. I’m fine with
that,” Wiegman said through a trans-
lator at a news conference. “They have

Serena Williams 2 for 2 at Wimbledon; wins in singles, mixed

The Associated Press
WIMBLE-
DON, England
— Serena Wil-
liams walked into
her news confer-
ence at Wimble-
don holding her
phone, a cold bot-
tle of water and Williams
a statistics sheet
that reinforced what was clear
from watching her third-round
singles victory Saturday:
She is as close to being back
to her best as she’s been in a
while.
Williams, hampered for
much of this season by injuries
or illness, took a step forward
against 18th-seeded Julia Go-
erges, a powerful hitter in her
own right who lost to the Amer-
ican in last year’s semifinals
at the All England Club. Sure
enough, Williams hit serves at
up to 120 mph, put in a tourna-
ment-best 71 percent of her first
serves, never faced so much as
one break point and won 6-3,
6-4.
“It’s been an arduous year
for me,” said Williams, who had
competed only 12 times in 2019
until this week, mostly because
of a bothersome left knee that
finally is pain-free. “So every
match, I’m hoping to improve

past Goerges at No. 1 Court,
Williams headed out to Centre
Court for her much-ballyhooed
debut as Andy Murray’s team-
mate in mixed doubles. Other
than one slip near the net when
she lost her footing in the first
set — she was fine and laughed
it off — Williams looked good
during the 6-4, 6-1 win against
Andreas Mies and Alexa Guara-
chi, including smacking one
serve at 122 mph, equaling
the fastest hit in singles by any
woman (her, naturally) during
the tournament.
“Andy and I both love the
competition. I know we both
want to do well,” Williams said.
“We’re not here just for show.”
She rarely is.
But if Williams is going to
win an eighth singles cham-
pionship at Wimbledon, and a
record-tying 24th Grand Slam
singles title overall, she will
want more performances like
the one she gave against Goerg-
es.
Forceful, yes, but nothing
was forced.
“I play pretty good when I’m
calm, but also super-intense,
just finding the balance in be-
tween there,” the 37-year-old
Williams said. “So it’s a hard
balance to find, because some-
times when I’m too calm, I don’t
have enough energy. Still try-
ing to find that balance.”
Two more key stats on the
paper she brought to her media
session: She produced more
winners than unforced errors,
19-15, while Goerges finished
with 32 forced errors, a reflec-
tion of just how difficult Wil-
liams can make it for opponents
to handle shots she sends their
way.
Goerges credited Williams
with causing havoc with her re-
turns, as well.
After averaging 10 aces in
the first two rounds, Goerges
was limited to half that many.
Of more significance, per-
haps, was that Williams’ sting-
ing replies to serves immediate-
ly put her in control of points.
“It’s fair to say that she builds
up enormous pressure with her
returns,” Goerges said. “That
means I need to go to the limit
in my service games.”
After the traditional middle
Sunday off, action resumes
Monday with all fourth-round
men’s and women’s singles
matches.
Williams, who is seeded
11th, will face No. 30 Carla Su-
arez Navarro, while the other
matchups on the top half of the
women’s field established Sat-
urday are No. 1 Ash Barty, who
has a 15-match winning streak,
against unseeded Alison Riske
of the U.S.; No. 21 Elise Mer-
tens against Barbora Strycova;
and two-time champion Petra
Kvitova against No. 19 Johanna
Konta of Britain.
On the bottom half, it will
be the 15-year-old American
sensation Coco Gauff vs. No. 7
Simona Halep; No. 3 Karolina
Pliskova vs. Karolina Muchova;
No. 8 Elina Svitolina vs. No. 24
Petra Martic; and Dayana Yas-
tremska vs. Shuai Zhang.
In the men’s draw, eight-time
champion Roger Federer and
two-time winner Rafael Nadal
both won in straight sets Satur-
day to move closer to a semifi-
nal showdown. Federer’s record
17th visit to the fourth round at
Wimbledon will come against
No. 17 Matteo Berrettini, an
Italian never before this far at
the grass-court tournament.
“For me, I’m very happy how
it’s going so far,” said Federer, a
7-5, 6-2, 7-6 (4) winner over No.
27 Lucas Pouille. “I hope it’s
going to take a special perfor-
mance from somebody to stop
me, not just a mediocre perfor-
mance.”
Nadal, who defeated Jo-Wil-

Kukushkin’s four-set victo-
ry over Jan-Lennard Struff at

a 60-year-old female spectator
had to be resuscitated after col-
lapsing.
Sandgren beat No. 12 Fabio
Fognini 6-3, 7-6 (12), 6-3 at tiny
Court 14, with its 318 seating
capacity. Fognini unleashed a
tirade in Italian at one moment,
saying he wanted a bomb to ex-
plode at the All England Club.
He later said his comments
came in the heat of the moment
because he was upset about not
playing well and the condition
of the court’s grass.
“If I offended anyone, I apol-
ogize,” said the volatile Fog-
nini, who was fined $27,500
at Wimbledon in 2014 for un-
sportsmanlike conduct and is
in a Grand Slam probationary
period after getting kicked out
of the 2017 U.S. Open. “That
definitely wasn’t my intention.”

During loss, Fabio
Fognini says Wimbledon
should be bombed
WIMBLEDON, En-
gland — Already on
Grand Slam probation,
top-10 player Fabio Fog-
nini could be in more
trouble after saying
during his third-round
match at Wimbledon on
Saturday that he wanted
a bomb to hit the All En-
gland Club.
During a three-set
loss to Tennys Sand-
gren at tiny Court 14,
the 10th-ranked Fognini
referred in Italian to the
“damned English” and
said he wished “a bomb
would explode at the
club.”
More than 1,000
bombs fell in the area
during World War II,
destroying thousands of
nearby homes, and 16
fell on the tournament
grounds. One hit Centre
Court.
At his news confer-
ence Saturday, Fogni-
ni said his comments
came in the heat of the
moment. He said he was
upset about not playing
well and the condition of
the court’s grass.
“If I offended anyone,
I apologize,” Fognini
said in Italian. “That
definitely wasn’t my in-
tention.”
The volatile Fognini,
who is married to 2015
U.S. Open champion Fla-
via Pennetta, also blood-
ied knuckles on his right
hand after punching his
racket during the match
against Sandgren.
An All England Club
spokeswoman said there
was no immediate com-
ment from tournament
officials.
But the episode will
be investigated to deter-
mine whether it rises to
the level of a major of-
fense, because he is still
under a two-year pro-
bation stemming from
when he insulted a fe-
male chair umpire at the
2017 U.S. Open and got
kicked out of that tour-
nament.
In October 2017, the
Grand Slam Board said
Fognini would be sus-
pended for two major
tournaments if he com-
mits another major of-
fense before the end of
this year.
He was docked a
then-record $27,500 of
his prize money at Wim-
bledon in 2014 for a se-
ries of outbursts during
a first-round victory.

AUTO RACING
Rain postpones
NASCAR’s final holiday
visit to Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH,
Fla. — Rain spoiled one
of NASCAR’s last great
traditions when Saturday
night’s race at Daytona In-
ternational Speedway was
postponed because of per-
sistent poor weather.
The race will be held
at 1 p.m. Sunday, which
helps NBC avoid a head-
to-head conflict with the
final game of the Women’s
World Cup.
NASCAR has run at
Daytona during the July
4th weekend since 1959
but is abandoning that
tradition in a scheduling
shake-up next season.
Daytona will instead host
the regular-season finale
in August, while the hol-
iday weekend race will
move to Indianapolis Mo-
tor Speedway.
Weather in part made
Daytona amenable to
surrendering the holiday
weekend — every day
since the track opened
Thursday has been dis-
rupted by either lightning
or rain. Cup qualifying
for Saturday night’s race
was canceled because
lightning in the area pre-
vented NASCAR access to
inspect the cars.
The field was set by
points, with Joey Logano
scheduled to start on the
front row alongside Kyle
Busch.
Rain also delayed Fri-
day night’s Xfinity Se-
ries race, won by Ross
Chastain, for 2 hours, 35
minutes.
Thick dark clouds
dumped heavy rain over
Daytona most of Satur-
day afternoon, spoiling
the pre-race pomp and
circumstances surround-
ing the proud NASCAR
event. From 1959 through
1987, the race ran on July
4 before being moved to
the Saturday of the clos-
est weekend. From 1959
through 1997, the race
started no later than 11
a.m.
The event was moved
to prime time in 1998
and heavily promoted as
the first under the lights
at Daytona. But wildfires
across Florida forced that
event to be postponed un-
til October.
That race aside, no
driver remembers any-
thing but racing in Day-
tona over the long Inde-
pendence Day weekend.
Many have lamented
the loss of the event this
week because not only
does Daytona in the sum-
mer mark the midpoint
of the NASCAR season,
but drivers have used the
beach and the birthplace
of American stock car rac-
ing as an annual holiday
getaway that culminates
in an intense 400-mile
race.
But Daytona next year
will be the final event for a
driver to snag a slot in the
playoff field, which means
the stakes will be higher
and, at nearly six weeks
later, perhaps protected
from the unpredictable
Florida weather.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Cardinals hit 3 home runs,
Quake, rattle, roll: Padres beat power past Giants 9-4
Dodgers 3-2 during shaker
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Eric Lau-
er was on the Dodger Stadium
mound when he heard the crowd
suddenly get loud and wondered
why.
“I thought there was like a
streaker at first and then I looked
around, there was nobody,” he
said. “I thought there was a fight in
the stands.”
Lauer kept pitching, throwing
two strikes in the midst of a strong
earthquake that rattled the stadi-
um during San Diego’s 3-2 victory
over the Los Angeles Dodgers on
Friday night.
“Not many people can say they
threw a strike during an earth-
quake,” Lauer said. “My ball, my
pitch, started an earthquake.”
Early magnitude estimates
from the U.S. Geological Survey
wavered between 6.9 and 7.1.
Lauer didn’t realize it until he
returned to the dugout and his
teammates asked if he felt it.
“I was locked in no matter
what,” he said. “When you really
focus in there’s not a lot that can
distract you.”
All-Star lefty Clayton Kershaw
pitched seven sharp innings for
the Dodgers, but the loss snapped
their nine-game home winning
streak.
Kershaw was in the tunnel be-
tween the dugout and clubhouse
during the quake and said he
didn’t feel it.
“We really couldn’t feel it as
much on the field as the people
in the upper deck, so there was a
lot of commotion going on,” said
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts,
who was quickly informed of the
cause. “Dodger Stadium held up.”
Lauer was facing Enriquè
Hernàndez when the quake struck
in the fourth. Lauer’s first three
pitches of the at-bat — including
two strikes — came during the
shaking that unnerved some fans
in the crowd of 49,790 enough to
move from their seats in the upper
reserve level and caused the press
box to lurch for several seconds.
The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com
‘I kind of felt the railing and I was like, we are
moving a little bit. We could be scared but I
can’t tell the earth to stop moving.’
The TV broadcast was marred
by the camera bouncing up and
down.
Hearing the crowd stirring,
Hernàndez stepped out of the bat-
ter’s box after Lauer’s third pitch.
He eventually flied out to left field
to end the inning.
“He didn’t feel it, either, so he
was kind of wondering what all the
ruckus was about,” Roberts said. “I
was hoping that he would hit the
ball out of the ballpark, add to the
commotion.”
Padres manager Andy Green
said he felt the quake and noticed
one of the foul poles swaying.
“I said to (coach) Rod (Barajas)
that I’d love for Kikè Hernàndez to
hit a ball right down the line where
the foul pole sways in and the ball
swings just foul based on that,” he
said.
Nothing was said by the public
address announcer regarding the
quake.
“People were freaking out,” said
Daniel Earle, a 52-year-old fan sit-
ting with his wife in the reserve
level. “I’m surprised my arm is still
here. She was squeezing into it so
hard.”
Jamie Taralunga of Ann Arbor,
Michigan, landed in Los Angeles
on Thursday, just after a 6.4-mag-
nitude quake. The latest one un-
nerved her.
“It was pretty crazy,” she said.
“I just heard a bunch of scream-
ing all of a sudden and everyone’s
shaking back and forth. Swaying
almost like a boat.”
Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen
was relaxing on a couch in the
clubhouse when the shaking be-
gan.
“I thought I was tripping for a
second,” he said. “It’s not fun. You
get worried. There’s 50,000 people
in the stands, the stadium is shak-
Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo
ing, and there’s nowhere to go.”
Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdu-
go noticed third base coach Dino
Ebel moving his arm in a wave-like
motion.
“I kind of felt the railing and I
was like, we are moving a little
bit,” the rookie said. “We could be
scared but I can’t tell the earth to
stop moving.”
Verdugo said teammate Chris
Taylor was “all fired up” and came
running out from the batting cage
after seeing the jarring motion on
the TV broadcast.
Hunter Renfroe matched a ca-
reer high with his 26th homer,
connecting off Yimi Garcia (1-3)
with two outs in the eighth to snap
a 2-all tie.
Craig Stammen (6-4) got the
victory in relief. Kirby Yates
earned his 28th save.
The Dodgers tied it at 2 in the
sixth. Newly named All-Star Max
Muncy grounded into a fielder’s
choice to first base that scored Ver-
dugo, who had a leadoff double and
went to third on Lauer’s wild pitch.
Taylor’s RBI single in the third
provided the Dodgers’ first run.
The Padres took a 2-0 lead in
the third.
Eric Hosmer’s RBI double to
deep center scored Lauer, who
reached on catcher’s interference
by Austin Barnes. Manny Mach-
ado, the former Dodger who has
been booed heavily in the first
two games of the series, followed
with a fielder’s choice groundout
to third that scored Fernando Tatis
Jr., who singled.
Lauer allowed two runs — one
earned — and four hits in six
innings. He struck out six and
walked one.
Kershaw gave up two runs —
one earned — and five hits. He
struck out nine and walked one.
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — On a night when he came with-
in a double of hitting for the cycle, Dexter Fowler was
more impressed with two defensive plays he made in cen-
ter field than anything he did at the plate.
It’s easy to see why considering what the rest of the
Cardinals lineup did.
Fowler, José Martinez and Paul Goldschmidt hom-
ered, Tommy Edman tripled in the go-ahead run in the
fourth inning and St. Louis beat the San Francisco Gi-
ants 9-4 on Friday night.
“I told the umpire, ‘Hey man, I still got it,’” Fowler said
after driving in two runs and scoring three times. “Any
time you can make plays to help the guy on the mound,
it’s definitely a plus.”
The 33-year-old Fowler has spent most of his time
in right field this season, but is likely to see more time
in center now that Martinez is a mainstay in the lineup.
Fowler’s two running catches in the deepest parts of Ora-
cle Park, including one to take away a hit from Mike Yas-
trzemski in the fourth, certainly helped as did homering
for the second straight day.
“He’s back to being in the strike zone,” manager Mike
Shildt said. “He’s seeing the ball well, his swing feels
good. Everything looks really good for Dex. Good at-
bats, good ballgame.”
Kolton Wong had three hits and two RBIs to help the
Cardinals win their third straight and keep pace with
Milwaukee in the crowded NL Central. Matt Wieters
added two hits and an RBI in a rare start in place of catch-
er Yadier Molina.
Buster Posey had two hits and Alex Dickerson hom-
ered for San Francisco, which had its four-game winning
streak stopped. The Giants scored at least seven runs in
each of the four previous wins, but were held to one over
the final six innings by St. Louis.
Braves
Continued from Page 1B
Atlanta couldn’t take advantage of a scoring oppor-
tunity against Nick Anderson in the eighth. With one
out, Ozzie Albies doubled off the center field wall and
moved to third on Freddie Freeman’s single. Josh Don-
aldson hit into a double play to end the inning.
Albies had a career-high three doubles.
Ronald Acuña Jr., who will participate in Monday’s
All-Star Home Run Derby, led off the first inning with
his 21st homer. Rookie Austin Riley homered in the sec-
ond, but the Atlanta offense lost its momentum after a
run-scoring single by Markakis in the third gave the
Braves a 4-2 lead.
The NL East-leading Braves began the day 6 ½
games ahead of second-place Philadelphia.
Fried (9-4) allowed five runs on 11 hits, including the
homers by Ramirez and Castro, in five innings. He was
given his first loss since May 28 against Washington.
The left-hander had two wins and four no-decisions in
June.

SOCCER Women’s World Cup

Sweden beats England 2-1 to take family moved from England to the U.S.
Ellis anticipates a tougher challenge from
the Netherlands than in the quarterfinal

third at Women’s World Cup
The Associated Press
NICE, France — Kosovare Asl-
lani set Sweden on its way to a 2-1
victory over England for third place
in the Women’s World Cup on Satur-
day night but the midfielder almost
didn’t play in the bronze medal
match.
Asllani was taken off the field
on a stretcher during Wednesday’s
semifinal loss to the Netherlands
following a head injury and was tak-
en to hospital. And the 29-year-old
revealed that as late as Friday she
was told that she wouldn’t be able to
play in the match in Nice.
It was a third bronze medal for
Sweden, which also finished as the
runner-up in 2003.
Asllani gave the Swedes the lead
in the 11th minute as they took ad-
vantage of early struggles by En-
gland.
Alex Greenwood had plenty of
time to clear Fridolina Rolfo’s cross
but sent it straight into the path
of Asllani, who drilled it into the
bottom right corner. England goal-
keeper Carly Telford got a hand on
it but couldn’t keep it out of the net.
Sweden was up 2-1 when Asllani
was substituted out at halftime.
“When I got another hit on my
head in the first half I felt like, ‘Nah,
it’s time for someone else to get
in,’” Asllani said. “I’m proud of the
team and proud of myself and just
everything right now. I got anoth-
er knock but everything is worth it
right now.”
Sofia Jakobsson had doubled
Sweden’s lead before England got
into the game with Fran Kirby halv-
ing the deficit in the 31st minute
when she cut in from the right, beat
her defender and curled in off the
base of the left post.
Ellen White thought she had tied
the score two minutes later but her
goal was ruled out after the video
review determined there had been
a handball. The forward had also
had what would have been an equal-
izing goal ruled out in the semifinal
loss to the United States.
“I haven’t really seen it back.
I’ve got contact but she shoved me,
I don’t know what I’m supposed to
do,” White said. “I didn’t feel like it
touched my arm really. I’ve done ev-
erything to try and score the goal.
The referee “didn’t really explain
it to me either, which I was frustrat-
ed with, but she’s there to make the
decision and the decision was that
it was handball so I’ve got to take it
on the chin. I’m disappointed with
a few decisions that has happened
but that’s VAR and that’s football so
you just got to get on with it,” White
said.
Had the goal stood, White would
have moved to the top of the goal
standings in the race for the Golden
Boot before Sunday’s final between
the United States and the Nether-
lands.
against France and the semifinal against En-
gland.
That’s because the Dutch will take the
game to the Americans.
“They like the ball and they want to have
the ball. We’ve seen that other teams want us
to have the ball so they can create more of a
transition game,” Ellis said. “They’ll look to
play in front of you and around, and they’re
excellent in their positioning. It’s the 4-3-3
of the Dutch, it’s what they live and breathe.
They’ve probably seen it since they’re 5 years
old.”
While Miedema has three tournament
goals and 61 in 81 international games over-
all, Ellis is wary of midfielder Sherida Spitse’s
ability from free kicks and corners.
“She’s a tremendous threat, so we can’t
give away cheap tackles and fouls,” Ellis said
of Spitse, who has four assists.
Rapinoe, meanwhile, points to the know-
how and versatility of the Dutch.
“A fantastic team front to back, able to play
multiple ways. They’re European champions.
It takes a certain amount of discipline and
mental strength,” she said. “This team is test-
ed against the best competition. They have
that idea of what it takes to win a champion-
ship more than the other teams we’ve faced.”

Women’s World Cup final rarity: 2 female coaches

The Associated Press
LYON, France — Just like four years
ago, a female coach will lift the Women’s
World Cup.
This time, though, it is guaranteed.
When Jill Ellis bids to complete the
American’s title defense against Dutch
counterpart Sarina Wiegman on Sun-
day it will be only the second Women’s
World Cup final contested by two female
head coaches.
“I think it’s a wonderful statement,”
Ellis said. “The players do their thing on
the pitch and there’s a lot of young wom-
en or former players that want to coach.
I think to see coaches doing it is really
important.”
The previous time two female coach-
es went head-to-head in a final was 2003
when Tina Theune-Meyer’s Germany
beat Marika Domanski-Lyfors’ Sweden.
The first three editions of the Wom-
en’s World Cup were won by male coach-
es: Anson Dorrance with the U.S. in
1991, Even Pellerud with Norway in 1995
and Dorrance with the U.S. in 1999. But
of the four subsequent editions, Norio
Sasaki is the only man to have lifted the
trophy when Japan triumphed in 2011.
Ellis will seek to become the first per-
son — man or woman — to successfully
defend the trophy.
Not only are opportunities limited
but so is the pool of female coaches for
federations to pick from. Of the 954,943

Morgan says tea-
sipping celebration was
nod to Sophie Turner
LYON,
France —
Alex Mor-
gan said
her tea-sip-
ping cele-
bration at
the Wom-
en’s World Morgan
Cup was
a nod to actress Sophie
Turner’s amusing Insta-
gram posts.
No, it wasn’t a dig at
England or a random ref-
erence to the Boston Tea
Party, or any number of
other theories out there.
“My celebration was
actually more ‘that’s the
tea,’ which is telling a sto-
ry, spreading news,” the
U.S. forward said.
Morgan has been crit-
icized for the celebration.
Her former teammate on
the Orlando Pride, Li-
anne Sanderson, a broad-
cast commentator during
the World Cup for beIN
Sports, called the celebra-
tion “distasteful.”
“She can celebrate
however she wants and
I’m a big believer in the
Americans and how they
celebrate but this was
disrespectful,” said Sand-
erson, a former striker for
England.
Morgan pretended to
sip tea after scoring the
go-ahead goal in Tuesday
night’s semifinal victory
over England. Goalkeep-
er Alysaa Naeher pre-
served the 2-1 victory by
stopping Steph Hough-
ton’s penalty kick late in
the game.
The victory sent the
Americans into their
third consecutive World
Cup final. They’ll face the
Netherlands for the cham-
pionship on Sunday at Sta-
de de Lyon.
Morgan spoke to re-
porters Friday, clarifying
the source of the goal cel-
ebration and referencing
the “Game of Thrones”
actress. Turner’s Insta-
gram is filled with her
saying audacious or
gossipy things, adding
“That’s the tea” and tak-
ing a sip.
“I feel that there is
some sort of double stan-
dard for females in sports
to feel like we have to be
humble in our successes
and have to celebrate but
not too much, or do some-
thing but always in a limit-
ed fashion,” Morgan said.
She said it’s hard to
understand the outrage
when men have celebrat-
ed goals by grabbing
their crotches.
The U.S. team has
drawn some criticism for
its goal celebrations in

Megan Rapinoe struck

ing. The guys here that do the
track prep, the owners, they do
a heck of a job with this place.”
Hagar overcame a right rear
tire that started losing pressure
with eight laps to go while un-
der a lengthy caution but was
able to hold off Byhalia native
Dale Howard as they each navi-
gated lap traffic.
Hagar started to battle tight-
ness in the car while navigating
an uncharacteristically wide
cushion throughout most of the
race.
“This is probably the most
moisture in the track that we’ve
seen since we’ve been coming
here,” Hagar said. “Normally,
it’s really slick and right against
the fence, and then tonight, it
held moisture all around the top
and had something you could
lean on.
“It was real tricky, though;
you could lean on it real hard
early, but I just got really bad
tight,” he added. “I couldn’t en-
ter on it or run it like I had the
whole race, but you really had
to be careful. You’d get in good,
then the car would try to trip
up on the right front, and then
you’d get in a power push, and
if you weren’t careful, you were
eating the fence.”
Howard finished second,
while Howard Moore, Danny
Danny Smith (4) started on the pole and finished fourth Friday at Magnolia Motor Speedway.
Smith and Terry Gray rounded
out the top 5. Howard started
sixth and climbed to second
just 10 laps into the race, but
like Hagar, his car started to
develop tightness in the latter
stages of the race.
“I was kind of hoping we’d
get in lap traffic pretty deep, but
it seemed like every time we got
in lap traffic, the caution would
come out, and the few cars we
got to, they hurt me more than
they hurt him,” Howard said.
“We’re pretty happy with sec-
ond, though.”
Howard said he was sur-
prised to see Hagar pass lap
David Miller/Special to The Dispatch
cars so aggressively, especial-
ly on the penultimate lap when
Hagar split a pair of cars com-
ing off turn 4.
“He was splitting hairs,”
Howard said. “He must have
thought I was right on him.”
Hagar said he thought he
heard another motor on the last
two laps and didn’t want to hes-
itate and leave open a window
for Howard.
“I couldn’t tell if I was hear-
ing my motor echoing off the
wall,” Hagar said. “But when-
ever it comes to lap traffic, you
can’t think – you just got to do
it.”
Howard tore up his car and
motor at Harrisburg, Arkan-
sas last month, but he’s driven
his new Mach 1 chassis to five
straight top-3 finishes.
In other race action, Tony
Shelton won the 602 Sportsman

NBA

Deals get real: Butler joins Heat, Raptors wish Kawhi well
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Toron-
to said farewell to Kawhi
Leonard. Miami said hel-
lo to Jimmy Butler.
Free agency finally be-
came real Saturday.
The four-team trade
that sent Butler to the
Heat — with a new $142
million, four-year contract
— was one of the first big
moves to get done once
the league’s offseason
moratorium ended. But
many of the other mas-
sive moves, such as Leon-
ard’s signing with the Los
Angeles Clippers and the
trade to have Paul George
join him, remained in the
paperwork stage.
There was no real wor-
ry: Some deals, including
a few that got agreed upon
very quickly when the ne-
gotiating window opened
June 30, simply needed
to be slotted in a certain
order to make the NBA’s
money rules work. Others
could get done as soon
as the NBA said at 12:01
p.m. Eastern on Saturday
that the new league year
was officially underway.
“I think it’s going to be
a really exciting season,”
said Portland’s Damian
Lillard, who wasn’t a free
agent and won’t be for a
long time after signing
a $196 million, four-year
extension that could keep
him with the Trail Blazers
until 2025. “Obviously, it’s
exciting to see players
change teams. You know
people love that.”
Not all people.
Not always, anyway.
Toronto awoke to the
news Saturday that two
starters from this past
season’s NBA champion
Raptors — Leonard and
Danny Green — were
moving on. Leonard
picked the Clippers and
will sign a $142 million,
four-year deal and George
will be joining him in a
massive trade that will
send Danilo Gallinari,
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
and five draft picks to
Oklahoma City in a block-
buster deal that shook up
both conferences. Green
is joining the Lakers on a
two-year deal.
“Teams are making
moves to win now and
that’s obvious,” said Heat
forward Meyers Leonard,
who left Portland and is
part of the four-team But-
ler deal. “The Clippers,
for example, they’re in
‘win-now’ mode. They
played well last year in
the playoffs. They go and
get Kawhi and PG and all
these other players. OKC
has to be thinking, ‘OK,
we just got a ton of draft
picks.’ So people are posi-
tioning themselves in dif-
ferent ways.”

The Lakers’ trade for
Anthony Davis was also
still pending early Satur-
day evening, as were oth-
er deals like the sign-and-
trade that will have Kevin
Durant leaving Golden
State for Brooklyn as well
as Kyrie Irving’s signing
with the Nets. Boston’s
signing of Kemba Walk-

gins chipped in 12 points
on 5-of-7 shooting. Jessi-
ka Carter posted her sec-
ond double-double of the
event with 10 points and
10 rebounds.
Sidney Cooks finished
with 10 points behind
three 3-pointers, while
Andra Espinoza-Hunter
and Bre’Amber Scott also
finished with 10 points
each.
“It’s nice being able to

didn’t have much fall-off
tonight,” said Schaefer.
“We had 50 points at half-
time and 92 for the game.
I was proud of our bench.

The USA’s success in
the paint continued in the
final game of pool play,
outscoring Slovakia, 52-
16, in the paint while hold-
ing a 52-40 advantage on
the boards.
The game was all USA
Team from the start. The
Red, White and Blue was
dominant on both ends of
the floor in the first quar-
ter, using a 26-0 run to put
the game out of reach ear-
ly. The U.S. shot a blazing
63 percent from the field
in the period while hold-
ing Slovakia to just 20
percent shooting to take a
33-7 lead after one frame.
At halftime, Jackson
led all scorers with 14
points on 6-of-10 shoot-
ing. The U.S. went to the
paint for points early and
often, outscoring Slovakia
down low for the half, 34-
12. USA Team entered the
break with a commanding
50-24 lead.
The Red, White and
Blue didn’t let up after
halftime, holding Slova-
kia to just 10 points in the
first 15 minutes and six
baskets for the entire sec-
ond half. Meanwhile, USA
Team extended its lead to
as much as 51 points.
In the third quarter,
the U.S. defense locked
down Slovakia’s offense
once again. Slovakia shot
2-of-18 from the floor and
scored just nine points for
the period.
USA Team cruised
through the fourth
quarter, capping off the
40-point win. Cooks
knocked down all three
of her 3-pointers during
the frame, while Aliyah
Matharu scored six points
in the period.

Rivals Biden, Harris to circle each other in South Carolina

Campaigns are banking on the backing
of black voters to secure the nomination,
and South Carolina is the first state on the
primary calendar that will test their standing
with this crucial constituency
By JUANA SUMMERS
and MEG KINNARD
The Associated Press
SUMTER, S.C. — Demo-
cratic presidential candidates
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
are circling each other again
— this time in South Carolina,
a crucial early-voting state that
will test the depths of their sup-
port with black voters.
As they travel across the
state in the coming days, the
former vice president and the
California senator probably
will be pressed on their tense
debate exchange over race and
federally mandated school bus-
ing. Though the issue is not at
the forefront of the 2020 prima-
ry, it could resonate in a state
with a complicated history with
race and segregation.
Several Harris supporters
in the state said her pointed
and personal critique of Biden,
who opposed busing mandates
in the 1970s, struck a chord in
South Carolina. Marguerite
Willis, a recent Democratic
candidate for governor, said
that when Harris spoke in last
month’s debate about her own
experiences being bused as a
child, the entire room where
Willis was watching the debate
grew quiet.
“Growing up here in South
Carolina, that’s meaningful
to us,” she said. Schools were
segregated when she was a kid,
and she recalled not meeting a
black girl her age until leaving
the state for college. “So when
she talked about being bused,
it was powerful for me and I’m
sure it’s powerful for a lot of
people here who have experi-
ences of their own.”
Though South Carolina’s pri-
mary is more than seven months
away, Biden and Harris appear

Chicago police: Security officer’s gunshot

warning caused Fourth of July stampede
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — A stam-
pede at a Fourth of July
fireworks display that
injured more than a doz-
en people at Chicago’s
Navy Pier started when
a private security officer
shouted for bystanders
to take cover, police said
Friday.
Chicago police spokes-
woman Kellie Bartoli said
“approximately 13” people
who fell or were trampled
during the ruckus were
hospitalized with minor
injuries. The rush of peo-
ple occurred shortly after
a brawl that resulted in at
least two stabbings.
The incidents hap-
pened just after 10 p.m. as
thousands crowded Navy
Pier on Lake Michigan’s
shoreline. Police said they
were searching Friday for
two male suspects in the
stabbings.
Authorities speculate
that shortly after the stab-
bings, someone exploded
a firecracker near a group
of people, prompting
shouts of “gun” or “shots
fired.” Chief of Patrol
Fred Waller told a news
conference Friday that
the ensuring panic was
fueled by warnings to
bystanders to take cover
shouted by a member of a
private security firm em-
ployed by Navy Pier.
Police Superintendent
Eddie Johnson said that
despite the fracas, the of-
ficer’s warning was appro-
priate.
“If you’re going to make
an error in judgment, we
want to err on the side of
caution,” Johnson said.
“Suppose there had been
an active shooter, and he
had said nothing?”

Some deer urine lures now legal again in Louisiana

By JANET
McCONNAUGHEY
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS —
Louisiana has modified
its ban on urine-scented
lures used to attract deer,
legalizing those that are
certified free of the mal-
formed protein that caus-
es chronic wasting dis-
ease and meet a second
standard.
A quick, reasonably
priced test can now deter-
mine which urine-based
products are free of the
disease, which is always
fatal. The disease-free
products must also be
certified by the Archery
Trade Association Deer
Protection Program, offi-
cials said.
The procedure, called
real-time quaking-in-
duced conversion, was
developed in 2011 to
multiply the malformed
proteins that cause the
human infection called
Creutzfelt-Jacob disease
so that labs could detect
the prions and diagnose
the ailment. One form is
caused by eating meat
from cattle infected with
bovine spongiform en-
cephalopathy, often called
mad cow disease.
No companies are cur-
rently using the proce-
dure but a representative
from Tink’s, one of the
biggest, told state regula-
tors that it plans to do so,
deer program manager
Johnathan Bordelon said
Wednesday.
“The reg in this case
is ahead of the industry,
but there are plans from
the industry to meet the
requirements,” Bordelon
said, adding that Louisi-
ana is the first state to re-
quire the test.
Chronic wasting dis-
ease, or CWD, is a highly
infectious disease spread
by prions, which can be
present in an infected
deer’s saliva, feces, urine,
blood, and antler velvet
for a year or two before
symptoms show. It has
been found in most kinds
of deer and related spe-
cies, including moose,
elk, mule deer, and white-
tailed deer, and in 26
states including Texas,
Mississippi, and Arkan-
sas — the three border-
ing Louisiana.

On the move

Community walking and rucking

group is making strides
BY JAN SWOOPE
jswoope@cdispatch.com

A
Monday post on the FitWalk Facebook page
read, “We maxed out the sweat-o-meter today,
3.5 miles and lots of sunshine on farm roads. It
takes courage (or something ... ?) to do this in July —
in Mississippi.”
Whatever the “something” is, FitWalk — a free
community walking and rucking group in Starkville
— is finding more and more people with it. David
Harned is the founding force behind these enthusi-
asts who recently added a new twist to their meetups
— rucking.
Rucking has been used by the military to train sol-
diers since the American Revolution. Soldiers march
with rucksacks, the military term for a backpack,
loaded with gear. The weighted ruck provides an aer-
obic workout while simultaneously providing strength
training. Adopted and adapted by FitWalk and groups
like it, it’s significant exercise that targets several key
areas of fitness at the same time. And it’s creating a
community in Starkville.
“At least once a week, we do a minimum 3-mile
walk, and I welcome anybody who wants to walk
— walk fast, walk slow,” said Harned, who is also a Courtesy photos
personal trainer at Starkville Athletic Club. “We only ABOVE: “Sweaty selfies,” like this one taken at Chadwick Lake in Starkville, are a

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: My sister is driv-
ing me and our other sister
nuts. There are five years
between the three of us. We are
all seniors who live in the same
city and have always been close.
Abby, the oldest talks nonstop.
It was always a family joke, but
it’s gotten worse. Now she inter-
rupts people to tell her story (after
all, everything is all about her).
A cousin we hadn’t seen in
several years came to town, and
we all had dinner. Not once did my
sister ask, “Why are you in town,
how are you doing, your family, Dear Abby
etc.?” She just talked and talked
about herself and her family.
It’s no longer a joke; she is just plain rude.
It’s getting difficult to be around her. How do we
stop her outlandish behavior without hurting her
feelings? — ALL LISTENED OUT
IN IOWA
DEAR ALL LISTENED OUT:
Stopping her outlandish behavior
may take some risk, but it’s worth
it. Point out to her — as kindly as
possible — what she has been do-
ing and how it affects people, and
tell her it has to stop before people
start avoiding or excluding her. The
truth may be unpleasant, but she
needs to know.
DEAR ABBY: I have a childhood
friend who is seriously depressed.
She sees a medical profession-
al once a month for drugs, but
doesn’t get counseling.
She lives alone and is going
through a contentious divorce. She has pretty
much alienated her friends and family because
she can’t converse without crying and blaming
everyone else for her problems.
Do you have any advice on how I might
help someone who doesn’t seem able to help
herself? I’m at a loss and feel so sad for her. —
SYMPATHETIC IN SOUTH CAROLINA
DEAR SYMPATHETIC: This woman is
fortunate to have such a caring friend as you.
Suggest to her that she inform the doctor who
is prescribing her medication that she needs
more help than she is currently receiving. And
if she isn’t already aware of it, point out to her
that she should go online and explore support
programs or groups for divorced people.
DEAR ABBY: I’m in my second trimester and
grateful to have wonderful family and friends
who are giving us their old baby clothes and
toys. One of my friends, “Jenna,” is also preg-
nant. She’s still in her first trimester and hasn’t
told anyone yet.
Our mutual friend “Tisa” just had a baby
and is giving me all her baby stuff because she
doesn’t know Jenna is pregnant. I would like her
to share the items with Jenna, but don’t know if
I should share her secret. Also, because she’s
in the beginning stages of pregnancy, I’m not
sure if Jenna is even planning for the baby’s ar-
rival just yet. Should I keep the items and let her
know I’ll put some aside for her as the months
pass? — THINKING AHEAD
DEAR THINKING AHEAD: Do not betray
Jenna’s confidence. The announcement of her
pregnancy should come from her. However, DO
tell her you will be receiving a lot of baby clothes
from Tisa and offer to share them with her as
needed if she wishes.

of loving support. It’s your year. Virgo
and Gemini adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 40, 2, 29, 1 and 16.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If
you cause people to think twice,
count that as a win. You can move
them and inform people. You have
this power at your fingertips. It will
mostly come through things that you
make.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Fallow time is as essential to your
work as the time spent work time is.
Stillness defines movement. Space
defines matter. Pauses define music.
And sleep defines your experience
of reality.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Sometimes you change the group;
sometimes the group changes you.
Mostly, it’s all happening at once.
This group you’re in is like a big ball
of baking ingredients today, mixing
together until it’s all something else
entirely.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll
see neat places on the internet, in
books, on television, and it’ll stir
an appetite in you, not only for the
sights but for the experience of
breathing the air there.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
plans and efforts need financing.
This is no longer an idea, or even
a goal. It’s an action. You’ll decide
that you’re going to attain it, figure
out the first steps, and then execute
them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be
aware that your loved ones crave
your attention, and they will get it
one way or another. Today, it will
be better to fill the needs of others
lovingly in the way you want to than
to wait for them to be uncomfortably
without you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Of course you matter profoundly
to loved ones. You may find this
surprising, but you can be unfor-
gettable in the lives of complete
strangers, too. What you think is a
casual interaction will have a lasting
impact.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Take some of the pressure off of
yourself. Maybe you don’t have to
change the world. Maybe the world
will change and all you have to do is
witness, participate and maybe take
few notes along the way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll be daring, but not in the
typical ways. Sometimes, it’s just
daring to be the first person to say
hello or to endeavor in any way to
make things nicer for people.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Hope drives today’s action. You
believe in the heart of future gener-
ations, and you’ll put your support
behind that belief in whatever way
you possibly can.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You have quiet questions that
have lived inside your soul for an
eternity. You are still searching for
the answers, and though they may
never come, they will organize your
experience in beautiful ways today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
There are so many injustices that
people take for granted in everyday
life that you won’t have to look far
to find things that can be improved
upon. Be the change.

I appreciate her commitment
to nurturing and growing our
academic partnerships and
research collaborations.”

■■■
FitWalk is generating
traction, drawing inter-
est from Columbus and
other parts of the Golden
Triangle. Several mem-
bers have begun walking
Mondays and Wednes-
days, in addition to
Saturdays. And in June,
FitWalk gained a sponsor
in GoRuck, an American
sporting equipment com-
pany based in Jackson-
ville Beach, Florida.
“Our participants
include people of all
shapes, sizes, abilities
and fitness levels,” said
walker Kim Roberts of
Starkville. “We are all
so different, but through
this group we feel a con-
nection to each other and
a commitment to self-im-
provement.”
Roberts, 40, initially
got involved in FitWalk
some time ago to relax,
decompress and social-
ize.
“It helped manage
the stress of finishing
grad school,” she said. “I
knew walking had health
benefits but didn’t fully
appreciate its capacity
to build muscle strength
and endurance. After
we walk, I feel refreshed
and refocused. It’s like a
mental reboot.”
After recently see-
ing Harned and others
carrying packs, Roberts
decided to incorporate it
into her walks.
“We cover a long
distance, so I cautious-
ly started with a small
amount of weight.
Experts suggest starting
with about 10 percent of
body weight. I threw a
few bottles of water in
a bag and that’s how it
began.”
She’s been surprised
at how the addition of
the rucksack engages
different muscle groups
and increases the phys-
ical demands of doing
something as simple as
walking.
There are other ben-
efits: In the age of social
media, FitWalk revives
personal interaction. Yes,
the group uses social me-
dia to announce upcom-
ing walks and to share
“sweaty selfies,” but “the
walks themselves are
about real conversations
and sharing,” Roberts
said. And a hometown

“We view things from
a new perspective and
see things that we never
noticed before,” she
added.
■■■
FitWalk’s June 29
meetup was different
from any other. GoRuck
issued a Cooler Ruck
Challenge: carry a loaded
cooler at least 3 miles.
Participants took turns.
“It was absolutely a
team effort!” Roberts
said. “We were strate-
gizing, cooperating and
learning from start to fin-
ish. The challenge taught
us about problem-solving
and asking for help.
Those skills apply in any
setting.”
The Cooler Challenge
has inspired some ideas
— like the possibility
of walkers filling ruck-
sacks with supplies for
the animal shelter and
delivering them on foot.
Or likewise, rucking with
packs filled with dona-
tions to drop off at a food
pantry.
“That way, we’re not
just walking for ourselves
but for the community,”
Roberts remarked.
Those showing up to
FitWalk have some amaz-
ing motivations, Harned
observed.
Ardra Morgan joined
about one month ago
after finding the group on
Facebook.
“In the past five years,
I had a weight problem
and I lost 150 pounds by
just walking and some
running. But at 59, run-
ning is sort of out for me,”
she said. “When I started

Morgan also likes the
idea of walking in a group
for added safety, socializ-

“It kind of keeps you

Roberts remarked,
“It’s harder to make

and the camaraderie is
awesome. As we par-

together, the group
members start to feel like
family.”
FitWalk is making
strides in its mission to
inspire, promote and sup-
port walking and ruck-
ing, and to strengthen
the community through
social fitness.
“Everyone can walk,
and everyone can ruck,”
Harned said. “It’s fun,
and it brings people
together.”
