Cooling off hot dogs

At the West Point-Clay County Animal Shelter on Thursday, a house-

like building adjacent to a grassy field guarded by barbed wire, dogs lan-
guished in kennels, on the concrete floor of a structure once part of a
livestock yard, surrounded by big fans and a misting system.
The high temperature in West Point was 94 degrees Fahrenheit, and
the heat index was more than 100.
As temperatures continue to climb throughout the summer months,
the shelter settles into its most difficult season of the year, and it needs a
little help cooling down the dogs.
The animal shelter is collecting Gatorade bottles — because they’re
made of thick plastic that doesn’t quickly disintegrate — to help keep
dogs’ water cool.

CHICAGO — Singer R.
Kelly, already facing sexu-
al abuse charges brought
by Illinois prosecutors,
was arrested in Chicago
Thursday on a federal
grand jury indictment list-
ing 13 counts including sex
crimes and obstruction of
justice.
U.S. Attorney’s Office
spokesman Joseph Fitzpat-
rick said the R&B singer
was taken into custody
about 7 p.m. local time and
was being held by federal
authorities. According to
the Federal Bureau of Pris-
ons website, Kelly is being
held at the Metropolitan
Correctional Center, Chi-
cago.
He was arrested after
the indictment was handed
down earlier Thursday in
federal court for the North-
ern District of Illinois.
“The counts include
child porn, enticement of
justice,” Fitzpatrick said,
adding that further details
would be released Friday.
A Thousand Words
The arrest was the
second time this year that
Kelly has been taken into
custody in Chicago on sex
charges. The 52-year-old
Grammy winner, whose
real name is Robert Kelly,
was arrested in February
on 10 counts in Illinois in-
volving four women, three
of whom were minors
when the alleged abuse
occurred. He pleaded not
guilty to those charges and
was released on bail.
Then on May 30, Cook
County prosecutors added
11 more sex-related counts
involving one of the wom-
en who accused him of
sexually abusing her when
she was underage.
His attorneys could not
immediately be reached
for comment on the feder-
al charges. Fitzpatrick said
Kelly’s arraignment date
and time had not yet been
set.
Kelly has faced mount-
ing legal troubles this year
after Lifetime aired a doc-
umentary “Surviving R.
Kelly,” which revisited alle-
gations of sexual abuse of
girls. The series followed
the BBC’s “R Kelly: Sex,
Girls & Videotapes,” re-
leased in 2018, that alleged
the singer was holding
women against their will
and running a “sex cult.”

As Democrats debate busing, Mississippi suspends

southern schools slowly desegregate
An estimated 150 to 200 school districts nationwide
are currently operating under desegregation orders
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — This small
Mississippi Delta town serves as a
reminder that fierce debates over
the integration of black and white
students are not a thing of the past.
Two rival high schools in Cleve-
land, one historically black and the
other historically white, had to be
merged just two years ago after
a judge determined that all-black
student bodies in the 3,400-student
district were illegal vestiges of seg-
regation. It is one of scores of school
districts around the U.S. still facing
federal desegregation mandates,
and the decision followed a fight
over the town’s segregated schools
that dates back to 1965.
The federal government’s role in
integrating schools came into the
national spotlight following an ex-
change during the 2020 Democrat-
ic presidential debate between Joe
Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris. The
former vice president was attacked
for his work as a senator in the
1970s to oppose federally-ordered
busing to achieve a racial balance
in schools. Harris pointed to the
fact that she was a beneficiary of a
busing program that allowed her
to attend an integrated elementary
school in California.
The clash proved to be a stum-
bling block for Biden’s campaign,
but the debate’s focus on 1970s-era
busing — when the practice was at
its peak — belied the fact that feder-
ally ordered integration efforts still
exist in many places.
School desegregation isn’t
‘ancient history’
Joseph Wardenski, the Justice
Department’s lead lawyer during
the 2015 trial, said Cleveland is an
example of why school desegrega-
tion isn’t “ancient history” and said
he was surprised at comments made
by Biden in the debate that indicated
a lack of support for court-ordered
busing.
“There is still very much of a
role for courts and the federal gov-
ernment to get the job done,” said
Wardenski, who is now in private
practice.
Since Cleveland’s consolidated
high school opened in 2017, there
have been some points of tension,
including a pair of lawsuits claim-
ing administrators unfairly altered
grade-point-averages to give white
students valedictorian and salutato-
rian honors. But many see the con-
solidation as progress.
“It’s better that they brought the
schools together as far as having the
races interact,” said Allison Tyler,
whose 16-year-old daughter, Vale-
cia, is black and a junior at the high
school.
The district’s majority-white
school board resisted the merger for
several years, despite federal pres-
sure, with some predicting white
flight to private schools.
Indeed, the district’s white stu-
dent enrollment has dropped sharp-
ly since the 2014-2015 school year,
the last before changes were or-
dered, even though Census figures
show Cleveland’s number of white
children has held steady. White en-
rollment that had been around 30
percent has fallen three years in a
row, to 23 percent last year, accord-
ing to reports filed in the case.
Currently, an estimated 150 to
200 school districts nationwide are
operating under desegregation or-
ders, according to Erica Franken-
berg, a Pennsylvania State Universi-
ty professor, who said nobody keeps
a precise count.
Schools in the South are better
integrated racially than those else-
where because of desegregation
plans implemented in the 1960s and
1970s, Frankenberg said. And while
every district is different, she said
“what we can say pretty definitive-
ly is that desegregation has been
shown to have a wide range of aca-
demic and social benefits.”
OB-GYN physician
amid accusations
Mississippi Board of Medical
Licensure: Allowing Madison Co.
doctor to keep practicing is an
‘immediate danger to the public’
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi has suspended the
medical license of an OB-GYN physician amid
several complaints about him, including that he
had an affair with one of his married employees
starting in 2015 and tried to insert abortion-induc-
ing drugs into her while she was pregnant with
his child. The baby was born in 2016.
The Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure on
Wednesday ordered what it called the “temporary
suspension” of Dr. Walter Ray Wolfe’s license,
saying that allowing him to keep practicing medi-
cine is an “immediate danger to the public.”
Wolfe is asking a judge to block the suspen-
sion, according to court documents posted online
by the Clarion Ledger. His attorney, C. Maison
Heidelberg, said in court papers Thursday that
Wolfe has practiced medicine for more than 30
years without any reprimands, and that many of
the allegations against him are “preposterous.”
Wolfe lives and practices medicine in Madison
County, just north of Jackson.
The licensing board says it interviewed a pa-
tient who said Wolfe made inappropriate com-
ments after doing a vaginal exam on her. The
board also says Wolfe failed to maintain patient
records of controlled substances he prescribed.
In addition, the board says a student who was
studying to become a physician assistant worked
in Wolfe’s office in 2018 and saw him kiss a preg-

Judge dismisses DUI case against Tupelo city attorney

The Associated Press
TUPELO — A judge
has dismissed a drunken
driving charge against a
Mississippi city attorney,
ruling the man was un-
constitutionally stopped
by highway patrol.
The Northeast Mis-
sissippi Daily Journal
reports the DUI refus-
al charge was dropped
Thursday against Tupelo
City Attorney Ben Logan.
Logan’s defense at-
torneys argued that a
December state highway
patrol checkpoint wasn’t
properly authorized by
supervisory personnel.
They said Logan’s deten-
tion was unlawful and all
evidence seized should
then be thrown out.
Though Logan was
charged with refusing a
DUI breathalyzer test,
recent court filings say
there is dispute about
whether he was ever of-
fered a breath test.
The Highway Patrol
declined to comment
Thursday but said its le-
gal team would review the
ruling.

Comments on recent news
My thoughts of President
Trump and his administration
is that he is going a great job of
running our country.
If all Americans would show
their support for him, he could
do more for our country.
Our Lowndes County School
board is doing an outstanding
job for education. I think we
should reappoint Mr. Lynn
Wright as our superintendent
of education. Under his direc-
tion and leadership, he has
up[graded our schools and
added a technical center that
will provide many students job
opportunities.
I am also in favor of the 4
percent school tax increase
because these funds would help
keep our school budget stable.
On behalf of our country
and military I think as citizens
of this great nation, we should
always display our flag.
God bless America.

Concerned about city’s
future

Mr. Blaylock’s article concern-
ing some of our elected officials
and public servants and their
tax problems. I must say, we
should be concerned with the
forementioned officials. These
individuals are paid by the
taxes that they are not pay-
ing. What is wrong with this
information?? That should be a
wake up call as to why our city
is in the shape it is in. Spend-
ing monies we do not have to
get a fire rating that will only

well spent. I agree with Mr.
Blaylock that a tax increase is
around the corner. If we can’t
staff our police department, re-
pair streets properly, maintain
our drainage ditches and ad-
dress the large infrastructure
problems, with the current tax
monies we have, taxes have got
to increase. I think we should
really think about our future
when election time comes. But
you can’t sit on your hands
and depend on your neighbor
to do it. Everyone needs to be
concerned about our fair city’s
future. I’m concerned, are you?

Our view
A time such
as this
Many people are familiar with the story
of Esther from the Bible. For those who
aren’t, it was the story of a Jewish woman
married to the king of Persia, who was
called upon to use her influence to save
the captive Jews under Persian rule from
persecution.
Uncertain of her ability to intervene,
Esther was encouraged to take up the
challenge by her cousin Mordecai, who
told her, “Who knows but that you have
come to your royal position for such a time
as this?”
On a smaller scale, that’s the same
question that is being asked in Ward 4 of
Columbus.
The resignation of Ward 4 councilman
Fred Jackson on July 3 has prompted a
special election to fill the remainder of the
term. That special election is scheduled
for Aug. 20.
The election comes at a critical time.
Some of the city’s poorest neigh-
borhoods are found in the ward, which
presents no shortage of challenges. Those
challenges were made even greater by
the Feb. 23 tornado, which hit the ward
particularly hard. The recovery has been,
and will remain, a slow and challenging
process, which makes having an effective
advocate for Ward 4 on the city council all State of the nation
the more important.
In many respects, it’s the toughest job
on the council and will require a strong,
visionary leader.

Setbacks for Trump’s drive

to lower prescription drug costs
President now focusing on congressional efforts
aimed at helping people on Medicare and younger
generations covered by workplace plans
The Associ ated Pr ess
WASHINGTON — After two set-
backs this week, President Donald
Trump is now focusing his drive to
curb drug costs on congressional
efforts aimed at helping people on
Medicare and younger generations
covered by workplace plans.
The White House on Thursday
yanked its own regulation to ease
the financial bite of costly medica-
tions for those on Medicare by let-
ting them receive rebates that drug-
makers now pay to insurers and
middlemen. A congressional agen-
cy’s estimate that the plan would
have cost taxpayers $177 billion
over 10 years seemed to seal its fate.
Earlier a federal judge ruled that
the administration lacked the legal
authority to require drugmakers to
disclose list prices in their TV ads.
The ruling Monday blocked a high-
ly visible change expected to have
started this week.
Both price disclosure and the re-
bate idea were part of a strategy on
drug costs that Trump announced
at the White House with much fan-
fare last year.
“This is a big setback,” said Pe-
ter Bach, director of the Center
for Health Policy and Outcomes at
New York’s Memorial Sloan Ket-
tering Cancer Center. The rebate
rule “was not good policy (since) it
would have increased spending on
prescription drugs even if it mildly
reduced out-of-pocket costs in some
cases. But nevertheless this was a
cornerstone of the blueprint.”
White House spokesman Judd
Deere said the rebate proposal was
withdrawn “based on careful analy-
sis and thorough consideration.”
Deere said Trump is not back-
ing away from his promise to lower
drug prices, and the administration
is setting its sights on bipartisan
legislation. One idea would cap
drug copays for people with Medi-
care, which would produce savings
for seniors taking costly drugs.
That’s another way to achieve a sim-
ilar goal as the rebate plan.
“The Trump administration is
encouraged by continuing biparti-
san conversations about legislation
to reduce outrageous drug costs
imposed on the American people,
and President Trump will consider
using any and all tools to ensure
that prescription drug costs will
continue to decline,” Deere said in
a statement.

ter buckets for the dogs,” said
Leann Simpson, the shelter’s
veterinarian.
The shelter has used the
bottles every year to essen-
tially make ice cubes, but this
is the first year employees
opened the effort to the pub-
lic. The group posted a mes-
sage about its need for bottles
Wednesday morning on Face-
book.
The shelter’s goal is 150
bottles, more than twice the
68 dogs it had Thursday. With
that number, there will be
enough bottles for all the dogs,
and some can be in the freezer
while others are being used,
Simpson said.
She said they are removed
from water buckets every
night and from kennels where
the dogs chew on them.
“In this extreme heat, we
want to give them a little extra
help,” Simpson said.
As of Thursday morning, 48
bottles had been collected.
Cats are kept inside, in an
air-conditioned room, so only
the dogs struggle with the
heat.
The shelter has implement-
ed other measures to keep
them cool and hydrated in
their kennels. Dogs are con-
tinually misted, fanned and
fed “pupsicles”: chicken broth,
canned food and a treat frozen
inside a plastic cup with water.
“The heat’s the hardest
part,” Katy Wallace, who has
worked in kennel care at the
shelter, said. “You don’t want
them to overheat or anything
to happen to them.”
Bottles can be dropped off
at the shelter, located at 5122
Old Tibbee Road in West Point.
The shelter also accepts dona-
tions year round of items in-
cluding towels, blankets, toys,
Purina Dog Chow and Purina

“If I could do anything
to carry on that legacy
of my mother, I would
do that,” she added. “So
when this job came open,
I thought this is really
something I’ve always
wanted to do.”
Miller was named new
executive director of the
Columbus Arts Council
last month, a position
she will officially assume
on Aug. 1. A Columbus
resident for 40 years,
Miller spent many of
those working with area
nonprofits through the
Lowndes County United
Way. She was executive
director for Columbus
Main Street in the early
2000s when the Colum-
bus Riverwalk was being
built.
Most recently, she
worked with Mississip-
pi Main Street Associa-
tion, where she traveled
around to more than 50
communities helping
promote arts and events.
“What I love and what
I’m excited about is be-
ing in an organization
(that has) been here a
long time,” she said of
the CAC. “And it’s an or-
ganization that means a
tremendous amount to
our community as well
as our downtown, so it’s a
perfect fit for me ... after
working statewide with
54 communities to come
home and be a part again
of the community I love.”
The arts council over-
sees programs for art,
music and theater in the
community. It hosts art
gallery openings and
yearly annual events
such as the Willie Blues
Festival and Possum
Town Tales Storytelling
Festival, as well as educa-
tional outreach programs
for children and adults.
As executive director,
Miller will oversee staff,
fundraising and grant
writing and implementa-
tion.
Miller said she first
hopes to receive input
from community mem-
bers about what they’d
like to see from the arts
council. She plans to
focus on four issues:
the CAC’s branding, en-
hancing its ongoing pro-
grams, ensuring it offers
the best services for the
money it receives and en-
suring it reaches every
age group in the commu-
nity.
That last one is par-
ticularly important to
her. She wants to works

rector at CAC for a year, in communities that
didn’t have their own
arts councils, meaning
she would help them set
up art galleries in local
businesses or come up
with other ways to have
music and theater events.
Doing that, she said, has
highlighted for her the
importance of Columbus
having its own center for
arts.
“The coolest thing
about coming home to
Columbus is that the Arts
Council is a mainstay,”
she said. “It’s important,
it’s part of our culture
here and it is a huge asset
to our community. If you
had to ask what all our as-
sets are you’d say the Riv-
erwalk but you’d also say
the Arts Council. Having
a building downtown that
is dedicated to the arts is
huge.”

J.L. King Center

ing, said Alison Buehler,
one of the architects of
the center’s new funding
plan.
“It’s really kind of cool
what’s happened,” said
Buehler, director of the
Homestead Education
Center which partners
with J.L. King Center.
“East Mississippi (Com-
munity College) has
raised enough money to
open one program that
we’re really excited about.
So there’s definitely some
momentum as we go for-
ward.”
On Aug. 15, EMCC will
welcome the inaugural
15l-person class for its
new Gateway Program.
“All (the center) is
responsible for is the
utilities,” Buehler said.
“EMCC is paying for ev-
erything else.”
The program is de-
signed to help young
people between the ages
of 17 and 21 prepare for
and acquire above mini-
mum-wage jobs through
eight weeks of classes, fol-
lowed by a job-placement
program.
“Each student will be
placed with a mentor,”
Buehler said. “In six
months, the goal is that
every student who suc-
cessfully completes the
program will have a job
that pays ... more than the
minimum wage.”
Yulanda Haddix, the
program director who will
teach the classes, said the
program is designed to
meet the individual needs
of each student, regard-
less of their educational
or work background.
“The classes teach the
soft skills, but also job
skills, too,”
she said. “If
a student
needs a program for adults, are
GED, we’ll
set that up.
We’ll offer
Wo r k K e y s

really any-
thing they might need.”
Haddix said once the
students successfully
complete their classes,
they’ll be placed in a six-
month internship will
local industries and busi-
nesses.
“I’ll track the students
for 12 months, so if they
need help finding a job
after the internship ends,
I’ll be able to continue to
help them with job place-
ment,” Haddix said.
While that program
is getting off the ground,
Buehler said the center is
working on plans for a re-
vised Youth Development
Program.
“That’s where the
fundraising is so import-
ant,” Buehler said. “The
development program is
there to catch all those
kids who aren’t getting
the resources they need.
We don’t have the money
for what we want to do
with it yet, but we did have
enough to pay for summer
camp in June and July.”
The program targets
kids from elementary
school to middle school,
she said.
Those two programs,
along with the center’s
Pathways to Prosperity
the primary focus of the
center under its new pri-
vate-funding plan.
After losing the grants
that had supported the
center, supporters are
turning to private donors
to keep the center in oper-
ation.
Currently, the center
is open on an abbreviated
schedule — 8 a.m. until
1 p.m., Monday through
Thursday.
But even with a scaled-
back operation, Buehler
sees some positives.
“When the center was
grant-funded, we had to
do what the grant wanted
us to do,” Buehler said.
“What I like about our
new situation is that we
can use the money for
what we want to do, where
the needs really are. For
us, that means we can
focus on safety/security,
which means providing
the basic needs like food
and shelter, and sustain-
ability, which means how

US growing largest crop

of marijuana for research in 5 years
National Institute on Drug Abuse said in plans to
grow 2,000 kilograms of marijuana this year at
the University of Mississippi, which holds the sole
federal contract for producing marijuana
By CARLA K. JOHNSON
AP Medical Writer
The U.S. government is growing
the largest crop of research mari-
juana in five years, responding to
interest in varieties with high levels
of THC and CBD.
The government is the only
source of pot for nearly all research
in the U.S., while it still considers it
illegal and dangerous.
Scientists have asked for weed
that more closely matches what’s
sold in states that have legalized
medical or recreational marijua-
na, the National Institute on Drug
Abuse said in an email Thursday to
The Associated Press.
The federal agency said it plans
to grow 2,000 kilograms this year
at the University of Mississippi,
which holds the sole federal con-
tract for producing marijuana.
That’s enough for 5 million joints,
although the government provides
the marijuana in different forms.
The crop will be divided between
high THC and high CBD varieties
with “recent interest (in CBD) as
a potential medicine for a number
of medical conditions,” NIDA said.
The compound THC causes pot’s
mind-altering effect; CBD doesn’t
get people high.
Last year, a CBD-based drug
was approved by federal regulators
for two rare seizure disorders and
researchers are pursuing research
on it for other conditions. Others
are focused on THC.
“We want to study what our pa-
tients are using,” said University of
Colorado Assistant Professor Emily
Lindley, who is investigating mari-
juana with high THC as an alterna-

Lindley and other researchers
want others besides the University
of Mississippi to get federal autho-
rization to grow research pot. The
U.S. Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration created an application pro-
cess for growers, but has not acted
on more than two dozen applica-
tions. In June, Scottsdale Research
Institute in Arizona asked the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia to order the DEA to pro-
cess the applications.
“We are still working through
the process and those applications
remain under review,” said DEA
spokeswoman Katherine Pfaff in
an email Thursday. She declined to
comment on the litigation.
In response to questions from
the AP, NIDA said there had been
no major increase in demand for
cannabis by researchers in recent
years. Last year, 20 researchers got
shipments of government marijua-
na, much of it from frozen canna-
bis grown in 2014. Since 2010, the
number of researchers receiving
government marijuana has ranged
from eight to 21.
Researchers should be able to
obtain material from the new crop
in the fall after harvest and analy-
ses are completed, NIDA said.

House panel authorizes subpoenas tied to Mueller report

‘If the goal truly is to get the information or testimony,
our chairman is failing us, but, as I’ve repeatedly said, if
the goal is political theater, Chairman Nadler is winning’
House Judiciary Committee member Georgia Rep. Doug Collins
By MARY CLARE
JALONICK
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
House Judiciary Commit-
tee voted Thursday to au-
thorize subpoenas for 12
people mentioned in spe-
cial counsel Robert Muel-
ler’s report, including
President Donald Trump’s
son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
and former Attorney Gen-
eral Jeff Sessions.
The panel also voted to
authorize subpoenas for
documents and testimony
related to Trump’s han-
dling of immigration, in-
cluding on the separation
of migrant families at the
southern border. The reso-
lution authorizes an inves-
tigation into whether there
have been any discussions
of Trump offering pardons
to Homeland Security of-
ficials who work on immi-
gration issues.
Judiciary Chairman
Jerrold Nadler of New
York will make the final
decision about issuing the
subpoenas and has said
they can be avoided if wit-
nesses and the administra-
tion cooperate voluntarily.
The vote was 21-12.
Trump tweeted about
the vote shortly before
the meeting began. He
said the witnesses “have
already spent hours with
Robert Mueller, and spent
a fortune on lawyers in so
doing.”
The president added of
the Democrats: “Enough
already, go back to work!”
The resolution autho-
rizes subpoenas for docu-
ments and testimony from
several former adminis-
tration officials, including
former national security
adviser Michael Flynn ,
former White House chief
of staff John Kelly and for-
mer Deputy Attorney Gen-
eral Rod Rosenstein .
Among the other sub-
poena targets are Corey
Lewandowski, Trump’s
former campaign manag-
er; Jody Hunt, Sessions’
former chief of staff, and
former White House aides
Rob Porter and Rick Dear-
born.
Three other names
on the subpoena list are
related to the National
Enquirer’s efforts to help
kill potentially embarrass-
ing stories about Trump
over the years by paying
hush money in a practice
known as “catch-and-kill.”
Former Trump lawyer Mi-
chael Cohen discussed the
practice in testimony be-
fore the House Oversight
and Reform Committee
earlier this year.
They include David
Pecker, the chief executive
of the National Enquir-
er’s parent company and
a longtime Trump ally;
Dylan Howard, who Co-
hen said was personally
involved in coordinating
payments to two women
who said they had affairs
with Trump; and Keith
Davidson, an attorney
who initially represented
the women and negotiated
their payments.
The top Republican on
the panel, Georgia Rep.
Doug Collins, criticized
Nadler’s handling of the
investigations, with a jab
that other committees had
already called in some of
the witnesses.
“If the goal truly is to
get the information or
testimony, our chairman
is failing us, but, as I’ve
repeatedly said, if the goal
is political theater, Chair-
man Nadler is winning,”
Collins said.

AP Exclusive: Officer alleges sexual misconduct by general

By LOLITA C. BALDOR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A
senior military officer
has accused the Air Force
general tapped to be the
next vice chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff of
sexual misconduct, po-
tentially jeopardizing his
nomination. Members
of Congress have raised
questions about the alle-
gations and the military
investigation that found
insufficient evidence to
charge him.
The officer told The
Associated Press that
Gen. John Hyten subject-
ed her to a series of un-
wanted sexual advances
by kissing, hugging and
rubbing up against her
in 2017 while she was
one of his aides. She said
that he tried to derail her
military career after she
rebuffed him.
The Air Force inves-
tigated the woman’s
allegations, which she
reported days after
Hyten’s nomination was
announced in April, and
found there was insuffi-
cient evidence to charge
the general or recom-
mend any administrative
punishment. The accus-
er remains in the mili-
tary but has moved to a
different job.
“My life was ruined by
this,” she told the AP.
The woman asked
to not be identified by
name. The AP generally
does not identify those
who say they have been
sexually assaulted.

Trump drops bid to have a citizenship question on the census

President Trump had said last week that he
was ‘very seriously’ considering an executive
order to try to force the question
By JILL COLVIN, MARK
SHERMAN and ZEKE MILLER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Just
a week after insisting that
he was “absolutely moving
forward,” President Donald
Trump abandoned his effort
to insert a citizenship question
into next year’s census.
He directed federal agen-
cies to try to compile the infor-
mation using existing databas-
es instead.
“It is essential that we have
a clear breakdown of the num-
ber of citizens and non-citizens
that make up the U.S. popula-
tions,” Trump declared in a
Rose Garden announcement,
insisting that he was “not back-
ing down.
But the decision was clearly
a reversal, after the Supreme
Court blocked his effort by
disputing his administration’s
rationale for demanding that
census respondents declare
whether or not they were citi-
zens. Trump had said last week
that he was “very seriously”
considering an executive order
to try to force the question. But
the government has already
begun the lengthy and expen-
sive process of printing the
census questionnaire without
it, and such a move would sure-
ly have drawn an immediate
legal challenge.
Instead, Trump said Thurs-
day that he would be signing
an executive order directing
every federal department and
agency to provide the Com-
merce Department with all
records pertaining to the num-
ber of citizens and noncitizens
in the country.
Late Thursday, Justice De-
partment lawyers sent a copy
of the executive order to the
judge presiding over a chal-
lenge to the citizenship ques-
tion in Manhattan federal
court, saying they will confer
with lawyers for the plaintiffs
to see how to proceed in the
case.
Trump’s order said the Su-
preme Court “has now made
it impossible, as a practical
matter, to include a citizenship
question on the 2020 decennial
census questionnaire.”
“After examining every pos-
sible alternative, the Attorney
General and the Secretary of
Commerce have informed me
that the logistics and timing
for carrying out the census,
combined with delays from
continuing litigation, leave
no practical mechanism for
including the question on
the 2020 decennial census,”
Trump said.
Trump’s efforts to add the
question on the decennial
census had drawn fury and
backlash from critics who
complained that it would dis-
courage participation, not only
by people living in the country
illegally but also by citizens
who fear that participating
would expose noncitizen fam-
ily members to repercussions.

STARKVILLE — Just days

For thousands of
fans, queuing is a
Wimbledon tradition
The Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — For Viv Kean,
and thousands of tennis fans like her, the
Wimbledon experience always starts in a tent.
In a small park across from the tournament
grounds, they gather to camp out for days. The
reward is being woken up at 5 a.m. by stew-
ards, then spending hours standing patiently
in line to get herded into the All England Club.
And hopefully, after all that waiting, a ticket
to Centre Court.
That’s life in “The Queue,” a decades-old
Wimbledon tradition that has grown to be-
come its own phenomenon, as much a part
of the tennis tournament as strawberries and
cream.
Kean, a 69-year-old from northwest Lon-
don, wouldn’t miss it for the world.
“I’ve been coming every year since 1983,
except one,” Kean said, sitting in a camping
chair outside her tent. “I spent my 50th birth-
day and my 60th birthday out here. It’s almost
more about the queue than about the tennis
these days.”
Kean was among more than 2,000 people
who showed up to Wimbledon Park last Friday
night hoping to be there early enough to get
tickets to one of the top courts. Not for Sat-

WIMBLEDON, England — There
are, of course, many reasons why
Serena Williams has been as suc-
cessful as she’s been, for as long as
she’s been.
The serve. The returns. The
groundstrokes. The court coverage.
And more.
A little insight into one aspect of
the way she approaches matches
arrived via her answer to a question
looking ahead to Saturday’s Wimble-
don final against No. 7-seeded Simo-
na Halep.
Williams, who can collect her
eighth title at the All England Club
and 24th Grand Slam singles trophy
overall, was asked why she’s been
able to accumulate a 9-1 head-to-
head mark against the Romanian.
“The biggest key with our match-
es is the loss that I had. I never for-
got it. She played unbelievable,” Wil-
liams said. “That makes me know
that level she played at — she can
get there again. So I have to be better
than that.”
Doesn’t matter, apparently, that
the result came all the way back in
2014, in a relatively inconsequen-
tial round-robin meeting at the sea-
son-ending championships. Or that

Party of 5? Competitive NL
Central in for taut 2nd half
By WILL GRAVES
The Associated Press
PIT TSBURGH — Joe
Maddon didn’t let the free
time created by a rare
ejection go to waste.
Shortly after getting
tossed by home plate
umpire Joe West on July
4 following an outburst
in which the Chicago
Cubs manager appeared
ready to take on any and
all comers from the Pitts-
burgh dugout after tak-
ing exception to the way
the Pirates kept pitching
up and in to his players,
Maddon retired to the vis-
iting manager’s office at
PNC Park. He eased into
a chair, opened a bottle of
wine, flipped on the tele-
vision and watched his
wildly uneven team put
the finishing touches on
an 11-3 victory that avoid-
ed a four-game sweep.
Veteran move. Oppor-
tunities to relax over the
next two-plus months
will be scarce in the most
competitive division in
the majors.
The National League
Central enters the sec-
ond half with the first-
place Cubs and last-place
Cincinnati separated by
just 4½ games, an outli-
er during an otherwise
yawn-inducing first half
in which five divisions
reached the All-Star
break with at least a 5½-
game gap between first
and second.
There are no front-run-
ners in the NL Central.
No room to breathe ei-
ther, something Maddon
saw coming long ago.
“I’ve been talking
about this for the last
two years how teams are
getting better in our divi-
sion,” Maddon said. “It’s
not going to go away. It’s
going to be really diffi-
cult to really separate,
especially by the fact that
everybody is catching up
right now. The second
half is going to be very
similar to what you’ve
seen in the first half.”
That’s exactly what the
Reds had in mind when
they retooled over the
winter in an effort to stop
a streak of four straight
90-loss seasons. Cincin-
nati upgraded its starting
rotation over the winter,
added swagger when it
acquired outfielder Yaisel
Puig from the Los Ange-
les Dodgers and over-
came a shaky 1-8 start
to stay within striking
distance in a division in
which sustained momen-
tum has been nonexis-
tent.
“We’re in it,” Reds
second baseman Scooter
Gennett said. “It’s pret-
ty close, pretty tight.
There’s plenty of time to
make a run.”
Maybe, but that will
require one team in the
Central finding a way to
get the better of the other
four on a consistent basis.
That didn’t happen in the
first half. Milwaukee is
the only NL Central team
with a winning record
within the division (24-
18) but has been unable to
create any separation.
“It doesn’t make me
comfortable that we’ve
been spotty,” Brewers
manager Craig Counsell
said. “The division, we ha-
ven’t, nobody has jumped
out. Somebody will. It al-
most has to happen that
some team is going to
start playing really well.
Nobody has dug a hole for
themselves, and I think
every team feels good
about that in our division
for sure.”
First place, after all,
is only a weeklong hot
streak away. Not so
much in the NL West —
where the Dodgers have
smashed their way to a
13½- game lead — or the
NL East — where Atlan-
ta’s young core has given
the Braves a healthy six-
game cushion over Wash-
ington.
“You can slow it way
down knowing that we’re
only a few games back,”
Cardinals infielder Paul
deJong said. “Today’s im-
portant, so we’re focusing
on today. We’re not think-
ing, ‘Oh, we’re 7½ back
and we’ve got to win 10
in a row.’ All of a sudden
you’re thinking 10 games
ahead and not focusing
on winning today. For us,
with the small deficit or
small lead, every game’s
important so it locks us in
the now.”
And leaves each team
with some interesting
decisions to make as the
trade deadline approach-
es.
The resilient Pirates
entered the break just 2½
games behind the Cubs
despite having 80% of its
starting rotation spend
time on the injured list
at some point. All-Star
first baseman Josh Bell’s
breakout season has
helped. So has the impact
of rookie outfielder Bryan
Reynolds and rookie in-
fielder Kevin Newman.
“We feel like we’re here
for the fight,” Bell said.
“We’re ready for it. I like
the guys that we have. We
trust ourselves to be cele-
brating at the end of the
season.”
Then again, so does ev-
eryone else, which is one
of the reasons the Central
is so competitive. No one
is rebuilding or transition-
ing from one core to the
next.
“Each of us has our
flaws, but there’s a deep
level of talent in this di-
vision, and you do, you
have five teams that their
ambition is to make the
postseason,” Pittsburgh
general manager Neal
Huntington said. “That’s
not the case in some of
the other divisions. That’s
not criticism. Teams cycle
in and cycle out. It’s part
of the industry. It’s part of
the game. It’s been part of
the game for decades.”
So have pennant rac-
es. The Central’s figures
to go right down to the
wire as it did a year ago,
when Chicago and Mil-
waukee needed a 163rd
game to determine a divi-
sion winner. The Brewers
emerged and eventual-
ly reached the National
League Championship
Series. The Cubs had
to settle for a wild-card
berth.
There may not be any
sort of consolation prize
for the runner-up this
time around. The four
teams running behind
Chicago are as close to
the division lead as they
are to the second wild
card, leaving all five clubs
potentially vying for one
postseason spot.
It’s why Maddon —
whose job status is tenu-
ous at best just three years
removed from leading the
Cubs to their first World
Series victory in more
than a century — wants
his players to buckle up
and block out the noise.
“You have to circle the
wagons at some point,”
Maddon said. “Because
today’s world, the way the
speed of information and
the way it’s generated and
the vitriol that’s carried
with it and the promotion
of vitriol, you’ve got to get
beyond that at some point
and you have to insulate
yourself.”
And are they circled in
Chicago?
“They’re circled,”
Maddon said with a smile.
“Circled.”
Considering what the
Cubs are up against in
baseball’s tightest divi-
sion, they better be.

Key anniversaries for the 2019 British Open
By DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — A
look at key anniversaries during this
year’s British Open:
150 YEARS AGO (1869)
One year after Young Tom Morris be-
came the first player to break 50 to win
his first British Open, he made more
history with the first hole-in-one on the
166-yard eighth hole at Prestwick. The
18-year-old Morris led by three shots af-
ter the opening round, and stretched the
lead to four shots over Davie Strath after
two rounds. On the final day with high
wind, Morris closed with a 52 — by five
shots the best score of the final round —
for an 11-shot victory over Bob Kirk. He
joined his father, Old Tom Morris, as the
only players to win back to back.
100 Years ago (1919)
The British Open was not held for the
fifth straight year because of World War
I.
75 Years ago (1944)
The British Open was not held for the
fourth straight year because of World
War II. The only major held in 1944 was
the PGA Championship, which resumed
after a one-year hiatus.
50 Years ago (1969)
Tony Jacklin ended 18 long years with-
out a British player winning the claret
jug. It looked as though the streak might
continue when Bob Charles of New Zea-
land got off to a 66-69 start at Royal Ly-

Baseball has issues beyond a juiced ball
F
irst the players, now the
ball. Home runs are sky-
rocketing, and once again
Major League Baseball officials
claim they
don’t know the
reason why.
Then again,
it might be that
they’re just not
looking hard
enough.
Unlike the
players, the Tim
ball still looks Dahlberg
the same. Com-
missioner Rob Manfred said it
tests much the same as before,
too, though he conceded there
might be less drag on the ball
than there was in the past.
So why are batters teeing off
at a rate nearing three home
runs a game, a 19 percent
increase from a year before?
Why are hitters on a pace to
hit 1,000 more home runs than
the Steroids Era high mark of
5,693 in 2000?
Good question, Manfred
says, but it’s not because any-
one juiced the ball.
Basketball

“Quite frankly it’s unheard
of,” Schaefer said of a team as
young as his finishing second
in the world. “But it’s a real
credit to these kids and how
they’ve got such a tremendous
competitive spirit and fire and
I’m just really encouraged by
the improvement these kids
made throughout their two
weeks over here.”
With the lack of veterans on
a team that will look to replace
four starters come November,
Hodge

tells them.
I’m looking forward to plen-
ty of firsts in my career here:
the first Egg Bowl I cover. The
first time the Bulldogs pull
an upset for the ages. A high
school team that lives up to
expectations. A high school
team that comes out of no-
where and surprises everyone
with a successful season. On
and on the list goes.
Wimbledon
Continued from Page 1B
If it’s going to help to have
a reminder that Halep is capa-
ble of beating her because she
DID beat her once, why not fo-
cus on THAT?
Plus, Williams enters her
11th final at the All England
Club well aware that she has
lost her past two champion-
ship matches at Grand Slam
tournaments — against Angel-
ique Kerber at Wimbledon and
against Naomi Osaka at the
U.S. Open, both in 2018.
The latter descended into
chaos after Williams was pe-
nalized a game for a heated ar-
gument with the chair umpire.
She said in a first-person essay
Fans
Continued from Page 1B
For some of them, even
that wasn’t early enough. Only
about 500 tickets are made
available most days for each
of Centre Court, No. 1 Court
and No. 2 Court. Several thou-
sand grounds passes are also
available each day — the exact
number varies — which allow
access to the smaller courts.
Alex Leonidis and Ryan
Kirkman, two 23-year-olds
from London, were around
250th in line — meaning they
were assured of succeeding in
their goal of seeing Roger Fed-
erer on Centre Court.
“Last year we camped out
one night and got tickets to
No. 1 Court. But we’re willing
to push it to three for Federer,”
Leonidis said.
“He’s a must for us,” Kirk-
man added. “These days you
never know when he might re-
tire. It could be our last chance.”
The queuing tradition at
Wimbledon dates back to at
least the 1920s. Even Richard
Lewis, who is now the chief ex-
ecutive of the All England Club,
remembers spending a night on
the street as a teenager in the
“Manipulation of the
baseball is a great conspiracy
theory,” Manfred said Tuesday
at the All-Star Game in Cleve-
land. “How you manipulate a
human-dominated handmade
manufacturing process in any
consistent way, it’s a smarter
human being than I.”
Don’t tell that to pitchers
like Justin Verlander, who
say they can tell something is
different just by how the ball
feels in their hands. He and
a few other outspoken pitch-
ers believe the ball has been
changed, no matter how much
MLB protests otherwise.
And in a game defined
by numbers, the home run
numbers certainly suggest the
same thing.
If you enjoyed the Home
Run Derby the other night,
you’ll enjoy this MLB season.
Every night is Home Run
Derby, it seems, as balls fly
out of stadiums like they were
propelled by rocket fuel.
And the suspicion, after
years of being on the players,
has now fallen on the ball.
Schaefer received standout
play from his freshman class
— most notably five-star Mc-
Donald’s All-American Rickea
Jackson.
Jackson’s offensive pedi-
gree shone throughout the
competition, most notably
in a 28-point outburst in the
semifinals against Japan and
a 33-point affair against Chi-
nese Taipei.
Schaefer said Wednesday
he believed if there was a
I’ll tell you writing about
myself isn’t my favorite thing
to do - we typically want to go
into this business to tell the
stories of others, not our own
- but I’ll do my best to give you
a brief summary.
I’m a college sports junk-
ie (probably being Captain
Obvious here, but whatever)
and love the NFL, MLB, NHL
and occasionally the NBA.
she wrote for Harper’s Bazaar
that she met with a therapist
and wrote to Osaka to apolo-
gize for the whole episode.
As for the loss to Kerber at
the All England Club?
“I don’t remember much. I
just remember I was tired and
Angie played unbelievable.
I actually was sad, but I was
also proud of myself. There
was nothing I could do in
that match. I did everything I
could. Physically I just wasn’t
there,” Williams said Thurs-
day after easily winning her
semifinal 6-1, 6-2 against Bar-
bara Strycova.
“I remember after that, I
1960s.
“I was 13 at the time. Queued
up on the pavement,” Lewis
said. “Saw Rod Laver play Tony
Roche in the final.”
For decades, the queue itself
started just outside the gates of
the All England Club, with peo-
ple pitching their tents on the
sidewalk. But as the numbers
grew, so did the problems.
“It was great, but it wasn’t
terribly comfortable for people,
and potentially the stewards
might have got hit by cars,”
chief steward Nick Pearce said.
So in 2008, the whole queue
was moved to Wimbledon Park,
where thousands of people
gather each day and get orga-
nized into neat rows based on
what time they arrived. Food
stalls and portable toilets are
set up nearby and each morning
the long line of people snakes
along the outskirts of a pictur-
esque golf course, through a se-
curity check, across a covered
pedestrian bridge over Church
Road and into the tournament
grounds.
It’s such a large operation
that more than 300 stewards

It’s an easy target, even if
other factors are also contrib-
uting to the surge in long balls.
Put together they’re giving
baseball a problem in the way
the game itself is played.
Batters no longer fear strike
outs or low averages. They’re
concerned with uppercut
swings and launch angles, and
don’t worry about protecting
the plate with two strikes.
Pitchers, meanwhile, throw
harder than ever, and are
rewarded with more strikeouts
than ever. The flip side is the
balls that batters do make
contact with tend to fly further
than they have before.
Almost everyone tries to hit
it deep, no matter the situation.
There are no hit-and-runs, no
hitting behind the runner, and
the bunt is on the disappearing
list.
And, let’s face it, there are
still juiced players in Major
League Baseball. If anyone
doubts that steroids are still not
an issue in baseball, look no
further than the starting short-
stop for the American League
MVP for the tournament, she
had to have been in the con-
versation.
The Bulldogs also boast-
ed noteworthy performances
from sophomore forward/cen-

“Yeah, I didn’t have the prepa-

She’s been dealing with
those sorts of issues since re-

“If you go there, you first
think, ‘God this is absolute cha-
os, it’s just a mass of people,’”
Pearce said. “But when they get
up they walk in a well-orderly
line.”
For many, it’s the most Brit-
ish thing imaginable.
“We love a good queue,” Leo-
nidis quipped.
But there’s more to it than
just standing in line. People
pass the time by playing games
and engaging in impromptu
contests. Even a tennis tourna-
ment is held every year.
In 2012, they even organized
their own version of the London
Olympics in the park. One of
the events was to set up a gaze-
bo fastest, while blindfolded.
There are some strict guide-
lines for proper behavior,
though, all laid out in the of-
ficial guide to queuing that is
handed out by the All England
Club. Don’t leave your place in
the line for more than 30 min-
utes, for instance — a rule that

after being caught taking the
steroid Stanozolol.
So it’s not just the ball,
which Manfred says has been
studied extensively by experts
who find no difference other
than a decrease in the amount
of drag in flight. A lot has to
do with the way the game is
being played in the analytics
era, and the players themselves
who seem to get stronger every
year.
Still changing the ball might
be the easiest way to change
the perception, at least, that
home runs are killing baseball.
“We just haven’t made a
decision on that,” Manfred
said. “Changing the baseball
is a mechanism by which you
could manage the way the
game is being played. We hav-
en’t missed that idea. But if we
were going to do it, we would
do it in a way that was transpar-
ent to the media and the fans in
advance.”
Manfred has a difficult
balancing act in a sport that
Schaefer said he was also
encouraged by the play of
freshman guards JaMya Min-
go-Young and Jayla Hem-
ingway — both of whom will
help shoulder the loss of de-
parted point guard Jazzmun
Holmes.“Jayla and JaMya
coming off the bench were my
best combo mostly the whole
tournament,” he said.

Lastly and most important-
ly, I’d like to deliver a quick
message to the wonderful
readers of The Dispatch. I’d
like to think of myself as a
pretty accessible person. I will
do my best to respond to any
calls/emails with story sug-
gestions. Even if for whatever
reason the story never comes
to fruition, I will always listen.
After hurting an ankle in
the Australian Open quar-
terfinals, Williams ended up
wasting a big lead and exiting.
Then she pulled out of match-
es or missed tournaments en-
tirely because of an illness or a
bad left knee.
Following a third-round loss
at the French Open on June
1, Williams underwent treat-
ment in Paris before resuming
preparations about 1½ weeks
before Wimbledon began.
Look where she is now.
“I’m in a different place, be-
cause I wasn’t really playing
a month ago, like, at all,” said
Williams, who thinks her part-
is meant to ensure people don’t
arrive early to get a numbered
queue card before leaving to
return at a later time. The stew-
ards rarely have to intervene,
though, because it’s a system
that largely polices itself, Keane
said.
“We try in the nicest possi-
ble way to police it and manage
it,” he said. “It’s not the easiest
thing at times, I have to say.
But given we might get 120,000
people through the queue over
the fortnight, we get a relatively
small number of incidents that
we have to resolve.”
For some, the queue can
even be the birthplace of life-
long friendships. Kean was
only a few tents away from Julia
Saunders of Norfolk, who has
also been coming for decades.
She was on hand when Cliff
Richard sang on Centre Court
in 1996, and remembers Andy
Roddick coming over to spend
time in the queue one year
when he was still playing.
Kean and Saunders have
become good friends through
the years and make sure they
arrive at the same time.
over the years has proven
resistant to change. And we’re
just getting to the point where
it’s obvious to any casual fan
that the game is different in its
current form — and not in a
good way.
Baseball resumes in earnest
Friday with a lot of issues.
Attendance is down for the
second straight year, dropping
nearly 500 fans a game after
being down 4 percent the
year before, while the All-Star
Game drew its lowest rating
ever on TV.
Meanwhile, only one divi-
sion has a heated race, games
seem to take forever, and the
cost of taking a family of four
to the ballpark is prohibitive.
Yes, the ball is part of the
problem. So many more of
them are going over fences
than before that it has to be.
But fixing the ball won’t fix
everything that ails the game.

be excited about regarding
this young Bulldog basketball

“What these kids and my

you may have. Again, we may
not always agree, but I do
promise to listen nonetheless.

mixed doubles at Wimbledon
helped her volleying in sin-
gles. “So it’s all kind of coming
together.”
That sentiment sounds like
it could be trouble for Halep,
who is 1-3 in Grand Slam finals
so far, with the one title com-
ing at Roland Garros last year.
This will be Halep’s first
final at Wimbledon. The oppo-
nent is not ideal.
“I’m desperate to win Wim-
bledon more than to stop her,”
said Halep, who defeated Elina
Svitolina 6-1, 6-3 in the semifi-
nals. “I will focus on myself.”
“We only see each other
once a year, but then it’s like it
was yesterday,” Kean said.
Wimbledon prides itself
on being one of the few major
sports events where fans can
still show up on the day and
buy tickets at the gates. But in
an age of online resellers and
corporate packages, it faces in-
creased pressure to find a more
modern way of selling all of its
seats. But Lewis said there are
no plans to change the queuing
system any time soon.
“I think it’s a good exam-
ple where technology could
change things if you wanted to,
but you’d think very carefully
before you did it away with be-
cause it does seem to be so pop-
ular,” Lewis said. “It’s almost
a rite of passage. I wouldn’t do
away with it in a hurry, I must
admit.”
That’s good news for Kean,
who has plans to celebrate her
70th birthday in the queue as
well.
“As long as I can get out of
the tent without someone hav-
ing to haul me out,” she said,
“I’ll continue to come.”

There isn’t any work currently

FOR BUSINESS
DEAR B.F.B.: You are a
caring employer — more than
most would be, considering
the shape that retail is in
these days. Talk to Sara again.
Explain that you are receiving
complaints from customers
and what they have been say-
ing. Give her another chance
to improve. If one of your other
employees can cover for Sara
for a week or two, let Sara
have a brief leave of absence
to regroup. However, if the
complaints persist, let her go,
because what’s going on isn’t
about her or you, it’s about the
true, you just haven’t found the
right mentor.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
People may talk about what they
like, how they treat people and
how they want to be treated,
but words can be unreliable
predictors, especially these
days. Count what you witness
over what you hear.

DEAR ABBY: My husband
is 67 and at least 45 pounds
overweight. His breasts could
fill a C-cup bra, and his belly
looks nine months pregnant.
Problem is, he wears running
shorts around the house and
no shirt. Everything hangs out
regardless of whether we’re
alone or have family visiting.
It’s embarrassing.
When I ask him to dress or
at least put on a shirt, he says
it’s his home, he can dress any
way he wants, and if someone
disapproves, they can leave.
That’s exactly what I am ready
to do. I am disgusted seeing
him look like this. Also, when
we are alone, he tends to skin-
ny dip in our swimming pool.
I’m afraid our 18-year
marriage is over. For the last
five years we have lived like
roommates with separate bed-
rooms. Do you agree I should
leave? He flat-out refuses any
counseling for us. — LOOKING
THE OTHER WAY
DEAR LOOKING: You are
asking me a question I can’t
answer for you. Because your
husband refuses counseling
doesn’t mean you couldn’t
benefit from talking to some-
one, in light of the fact that
you are contemplating such a
life-changing decision. Please
go, because the answer to your
question lies within yourself.
you will follow the same lines

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
From the outside, it may seem
that everyone on the inside is
getting along, feeling the team
spirit and basking in a sense of
belonging. Of course, this is not
how groups typically work. The
best ones are held together with
tension.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
It’s not that you have some
burning piece of information
to share. It’s just that shar-
ing, sharing anything, is so
important right now. Satisfy your
craving to connect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
People can be like wallpaper in
a design catalogue, the same
patterns repeating page after
page. Maybe the colors and the
scale shift, but at some point,
you know what you can expect
when you turn the page.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). There’s a movie going on in
your mind. You have to turn off
the drama on this small screen
before you can see what’s actu-
ally happening in world beyond.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Most days are not as
black-and-white as this one, but
right now, there are clear-cut
delineations and goals that are
either met or not met. Almost
doesn’t count.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Nothing brings out your
best like pressure. It would be
so much more comfortable and
enjoyable if you could work as
fast and as brilliantly out of
sheer inspiration, but this isn’t
how things work. Pressure is
the way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Complaining is boring to
those who aren’t sharing the
undesirable experience. It might
even be boring to those who
are. In any case, you’ll avoid
hearing or stating complaints as
you dive into more interesting
pursuits.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). The amount of personal
energy you have to throw at a
problem will depend on last
night’s sleep, your diet and your
emotional well-being. Address
these areas to set yourself up
for future success.
