CONTACTING THE DISPATCH
minus rebel X on license plate
Most of the money from the specialty plates will
go toward the Museum of Mississippi History and
the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi resi-
dents who want a state flag without
the Confederate battle emblem will
soon be able to display one on their
license plate.
Gov. Phil Bryant signed a bill
Tuesday authorizing the state to
sell several new specialty license
plates, starting July 1. One of them
features a proposed state flag de-
signed by Jackson artist Laurin
Stennis.
Legislators have not changed
the actual flag that’s the last in the
U.S. with the Confederate emblem,
although some have pushed for the
“Stennis Flag.”
Stennis says her design rep-
resents unity. It has red vertical
bars on each side and a white cen-
ter with a large blue star encircled
by 19 smaller ones, representing
Mississippi as the 20th state.
She is the granddaughter of the
late U.S. Sen. John C. Stennis, who
served 41 years before retiring
in 1989 and was a segregationist
much of his career. He died in 1995.
“What is the role of a state flag?
In this day and age, it is market-
ing and branding,” Laurin Stennis,
46, told The Associated Press on
Wednesday. “If any company or
any corporation had a symbol that
hurt its morale and its bottom line
the way ours does, they’d change it
immediately.”
Like most specialty license
plates in Mississippi, this one will
cost an extra $30 a year. Most of
the money will go toward operation
and maintenance of the Museum of
Mississippi History and the Missis-
sippi Civil Rights Museum, which
opened in 2017 in Jackson.
The Confederate emblem — a
red field topped by a blue tilted
cross and dotted by 13 white stars
— has appeared on Mississippi’s
flag since 1894. Critics say it’s rac-
ist; those who oppose removing it
say it’s a historic symbol.
Mississippians voted to keep
the flag in a 2001 statewide elec-
tion. However, several Mississippi
cities and counties and all eight of
the state’s public universities have
stopped flying it in recent years
amid criticism that the battle em-
blem is a racist reminder of slavery
and segregation. Supporters of the
flag say it represents history.
Bryant has said that if the Mis-
sissippi flag is going to be rede-
signed, the matter should be de-
cided in another statewide election.
His spokesman, Knox Graham,
said Bryant knew the Stennis flag
design was in the license plate bill
when he signed it. Graham said the
museums, which will receive mon-
ey from the Stennis flag tag, are a
“worthy cause.”
“Gov. Bryant has a high stan-
dard for vetoing legislation,” Gra-
ham said. “Vanity tags do not rise
to that level.”
Some homes and businesses in
Mississippi already fly the Stennis
design instead of the state flag.
The artist said she still hopes her
design will eventually gain official
status and replace the one with the
Confederate emblem.
“Mississippians deserve a state
flag that any Mississippian can fly
without a moment’s hesitation,”
Stennis said.
Confederate symbols have been
widely debated across the South,
particularly since June 2015, when
a white supremacist killed nine
black worshippers at a church in
Charleston, South Carolina; and
August 2017, when violence erupt-
ed as white nationalists held a rally
in Charlottesville, Virginia.
For the past several years, multi-
ple bills have been filed to redesign
the Mississippi flag. More than a
dozen were filed this year, and they
all died when they were not consid-
ered because a committee chair-
man said there was no consensus
among lawmakers.

Our View
Fred’s closing may present an opportunity
The news that Fred’s will
close two stores in Colum-
bus by the end of May has
alarmed long-time patrons of
the stores and moved Mayor
Robert Smith to pen a letter
to the chain’s corporate office
in Memphis pleading for the
company to change its mind.
The reaction is interesting.
Over the years, a wide vari-
ety of chain stores have left
the city. While the general
response from the community
has been disappointment, there
has rarely been an effort to ral-
ly behind those stores and keep
them here as we are seeing in
this case.
It’s clear that patrons of
these two stores — one on Ala-
bama Street, the other on Fifth
Street in downtown Columbus
— have a deep connection with
the stores. It’s worth noting
that the downtown store, in
particular, has been a fixture
in the area for approaching a
half-century. Other downtown
businesses have come and
gone. Fred’s remained. Some
customers have been shopping
at Fred’s for decades.
While it is possible the pleas
the keep the stores open may
succeed, it’s unlikely.
The store closings are two
of more than 100 “under-per-
forming” Fred’s stores that are
set to be closed. The scale of
the closures strongly sug-
gests this is not some impulse
decision. Rather, it’s based on
cold, hard facts — and little
else. It’s doubtful that those
who made this decision have
ever darkened the doorway of
either Columbus store. There
is no emotional investment. It’s
strictly a business decision.
Given that, the best ap-
proach for our community is to
view this as an opportunity.
There are strong arguments
to be made for local investment
in these soon-to-be-vacant
properties.
The depth of feeling ex-
pressed over the closure of
these stores suggests there
is a dedicated customer base.
Many of the Southside cus-
tomers say Fred’s is the only
access they have to purchase
basic food items and other
household products.
In a city without public
transportation, those who do
not own a car have come to rely
on these stores to meet their
needs.
Such places are called “food
deserts” and there are federal
grants available to support
stores that agree to operate in
those areas. That’s definitely
worth exploring.
For years now, people have
noted a need for a grocery
store to serve the downtown
area — Gayle Guynup suggest-
ed a community grocery store
as a possible tenant for the
Depot when she purchased the
property in 2014.
Businesses need a customer
base to be successful, obvious-
ly. The outpouring of support
for Fred’s, even with its limited
supply of grocery items, sug-
gests such a customer base
exists.
We have long been an ad-
vocate for locally-owned small
businesses, which — unlike
chains — do have a personal
investment in the community
and keep all of the revenue
generated by their businesses
circulating in the local econo-
my rather than being sent off to
some far-away corporate office.
We do not criticize citizens
and city leaders for their efforts
to ask Fred’s to reconsider its
decision.
But the better course of
action may be to encourage
and support local investment in
these properties.
Losing Fred’s is a blow, we
concede.
But it also may be an oppor-
tunity to provide even better
service.

tax returns. Where
are Trump’s?
One by one, Democratic presidential
hopefuls are releasing their tax returns.
Years of them. Longtime holdout Sen.
Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) revealed 10 years
of returns at the tail end of Tax Day,
which arrived on Monday this year. Later
that evening, former Texas representa-
tive Beto O’Rourke unveiled a decade of
his personal tax information. Both fol-
lowed Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.),
who released 15 years of tax returns on
Sunday, enabling her campaign to boast
that Ms. Harris is “the most transparent
candidate in the field when it comes to
information about her personal financ-
es.”
It is nice to see a race to the top, rath-
er than the bottom, for a change. This
is the kind of political one-upmanship
Americans should welcome.
Clearly, part of the point is to draw
a contrast with President Trump, who
routinely promised during the 2016
presidential race to offer his tax informa-
tion for public scrutiny. He has instead
revealed nothing. His excuse is that his
returns are under audit, but that would
not prevent him from releasing tax doc-
uments he signed and swore to be true
Campaign 2020
— and certainly does not explain why he
refuses to reveal returns from years ago,
as his challengers have done.

Starkville Utilities Department is preparing for improvements at its wastewater lagoon, pictured. The lagoon is
near capacity, and the department is looking to install new equipment that will treat sludge and turn it into a
usable planting product.
Sludge

The new process, Kemp
said, is more sustainable
than dredging the sludge
out of the lagoon, which
would be expensive and
eventually put the city back
in the same place of having
to deal with a near-capaci-
ty lagoon. Starkville Util-
ities had also considered
raising the sides of the
lagoon, which would also
only delay the problem of
limited capacity.
He said the treatment
process will take sludge
and turn it into what is es-
sentially dirt that can be
used for growing plants.
“It will have some lime
and some nutrients in
it,” Kemp said. “Because

Dawgs
clean up
defense
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
Sophomore Justin Fos-
cue is not one for post-
game conversation.
Intense and focused,
he’s more concerned with
his output between the
lines on the diamond rath-
er than finding his name
among lines of text from
local news outlets.
But Tuesday night, Fos-
cue flashed a rare smirk
when he was asked about
his recent flashy glove
work at second base.
“I think the game slows
down a little on that side
because the ball’s not com-
ing so hot at you,” he said.
“I feel good over there. I
feel like I’m helping the
team a lot more than I was
over at third just cause
there’s a lot more balls hit
to me.”
Since MSU’s home se-
ries loss to LSU, there’s
been a noticeable cleanli-
ness in the field.
In three games against
the Tigers, the Bulldogs
tallied seven errors —
three of which were com-
bined by Foscue and soph-
omore Jordan Westburg.
Head coach Chris Le-
monis has since shifted
Foscue from third base to
second, while senior Mar-
shall Gilbert and junior
Gunner Halter have split
time on the corner.
MSU has committed
just five errors in the nine
games since the LSU se-
ries.
Foscue and Westburg’s
cohesion at second base
and shortstop has been
noticeably different.
Playing the middle in-
field entails more ground
balls being hit toward
them and thus more op-
portunities for errors.
Foscue and Westburg
are riding eight- and nine-
game errorless streaks,
respectively, since the
former shifted to the right
side of home plate.
“Me and Westy are
throwing partners, we’ve
been friends since we
stepped on campus,” Fos-
cue said. “We work very
well together.”
Third base is decidedly
less settled. Gilbert has
been solid of late — re-
cording eight assists to
just one error in his past
six appearances.
Halter has been simi-
larly effective with seven
assists and no errors in his
past five appearances in
the field.
And while defense is a
priority, Lemonis said he

Bulldogs win women’s tennis opener at SEC Championships

FROM SPECIAL REPORTS
COLLEGE STATION, Texas
— The Mississippi State wom-
en’s tennis team passed its first
postseason test with flying col-
ors Wednesday.
The No. 12-seeded Bull-
dogs took down No. 13 seed
Auburn 4-1 in the first round of
the Southeastern Conference
Championships at the Mitchell
Tennis Center.
MSU will move on to Thurs-
day’s second round against No.
5 seed Texas A&M at 2 p.m.
The Tigers earned an early
lead by taking the doubles point
to lead 1-0, but the Bulldogs
rattled off four straight singles
victories to close out the match.
Sophomore Magda Adalo-
glou earned the match-clinch-
ing point with a 6-3, 7-5 victory
over Taylor Russo at No. 3 sin-
gles.
“We didn’t play well overall
in the doubles, but we rebound-
ed extremely well to take all
six first sets in singles,” MSU
coach Daryl Greenan said.
“To Auburn’s credit, they kept
fighting. I am just happy with
the way we battled for the win.
Overall, it was a scrappy, hard-
earned win for us. We are ex-
cited to be playing in the next
round.“
Off the court, senior Anas-
tasia Rentouli was named the
2019 SEC Scholar Athlete of
the Year

I may mention it.
How do I get my wife to

GARFIELD want to hear about. If I offer
an opinion or respond to her,
I get criticized and accused
of not appreciating how hard
she works. She has actually
said, “No one else in this

do!” I would like to have an
enjoyable evening or weekend
with her and not have to hear
about HER work problems. —

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April
18). This year’s sense of
forward motion is unparal-
leled — it’s like a theme park

your domestic life leads to more
improvements. New relation-

on your work and will set you

ARIES (March 21-April

a thunder bolt. It won’t come
with the opening of clouds and
a booming voice from heaven.
Rather, it will unfold in stages

is twice a joy; a
burden shared
is half a burden.
If your wife can’t
discuss her frus-
trations with you,
who else can she
safely confide
in? A word to the
wise: Women
often just need
someone to
LISTEN.
Because this
is getting to you
to the point that
you would write
to me about it,
rather than offer
time you tell her exactly what
you have conveyed to me.
Maybe you can agree on a
time when these issues can
be discussed — once you
both have decompressed from
your demanding jobs.
DEAR ABBY: This is my

Schools need help! Contact

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Motivation is an unreliable fuel
source, so don’t count on it
today. Get started and a half-
hour later, motivation may kick
in, though it probably won’t stay.
You don’t need it. You can work
without it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Prevention isn’t glamorous or
dramatic. It’s the opposite of a
story, since you don’t really ever
know the extent of what you’re
preventing. Still, you sense it’s
the better option, and it is.

it really should be, but you need

Being a retired geek, I showed
up the following Thursday,
working for just an hour.
After three weeks the teacher
asked me if I would be willing
to help her in the classroom
for four hours every Thursday.
I agreed. It didn’t take my
grandson long to figure out he
got faster help if he addressed
me as “Mr. ——.”
After three months, I told
my wife it was the best four
hours of my week. Without
blinking an eye, she smiled
and said, “You know, it’s the

DEAR GRANDPA: Thank
you for writing. Other readers
also suggested that volun-

rewarding way for seniors to
put their time to good use

from a “camp grandma” who
volunteers at a YMCA summer

mentally raised one degree at a

the cooking starts. Get free.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What
if you forgive someone and the
person does the exact same
thing again? Maybe what’s
needed is something other
than forgiveness. Maybe what’s
needed is to learn a person’s
nature and design your part of
the relationship accordingly.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Like spotty cellphone service,
you’ll get moments of clarity and
plenty of blanks to fill in, which
you’re perfectly capable of. Look
at this like a puzzle or a game
and you’ll have some fun with it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’ll do what you can. It’s good
enough. It’s more than good
enough — it’s reality. So you
may as well accept yourself
and feel positively about your
contribution. With that mindset,
growth will come naturally.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). To better understand
what’s going on, you’ll slip into
a state that’s neither logical
nor illogical, both of the body
and beyond it. You’ll do what
the spiritual guru calls “entura,”
meaning “entering the aura.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). It won’t be enough to face,
or even to embrace, your fear.
Snuggle it instead. Get very vul-
nerable. Curl up. Let it envelope
you, and do the same back. You
are, after all, in this together.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Stay connected to the
group even though the project
seems to be taking forever. It
won’t take forever. In a finite
amount of time, you will reach
the end and reap well-deserved
benefits. Keep chipping away
at it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You can learn something
from almost anyone today.
You’ll use some people as role
models and others as reverse
role models, as their lives play
out like cautionary tales.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Just as a change in music
can switch a movie scene from
funny to scary, or create a mood
that’s epic, folksy or any number
of tones, music can also do this
in your life. Today it will lighten,
lift and inspire you.

To some market vets, stocks

are rallying like it’s 1999
S&P 500 has shot up 23.6% since
hitting a bottom on Christmas Eve
By STAN CHOE
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — The
stock market has been so
hot this year that it might
need an ice-cold Fruitopia,
or a Zima.
The furious rally that’s
brought the S&P 500 to
the brink of another re-
cord, so quickly on the
heels of last year’s scary
tumble, is reminding
some market veterans of
the rebound of late 1998.
Then, like now, decisions
by the Federal Reserve on
interest rates helped send
stocks soaring. Then, like
now, high-flying technol-
ogy stocks were leading
the way. And, in both in-
stances, investors won-
dered how much longer
burst in the dot-com bust.
The collapse dashed the
dreams of day traders in
pajamas around the coun-
try and helped usher in the
2001 recession.
But the similarities be-
tween 1998-1999 and 20
years later are plentiful
enough that some inves-
tors are pushing the idea
that stocks can keep rising
even with recession fears
still hanging over the mar-
ket.
Steve Chiavarone, equi-
ty strategist at Federated
Investors, says the S&P
500 may end the year at
3,100. That would be a 6.6%
rise from Tuesday’s close
and a nearly 32% leap from
Christmas Eve, when re-
cession fears were at their
height.
high, and the U.S. econo-
my was more than seven
years into its expansion,
one of the longest on re-
cord. But turmoil in devel-
oping economies around
the world, highlighted by
the Asian financial crisis
and then Russia’s default
on its debt, helped send the
S&P 500 down nearly 20%.
The Fed calmed worries
that the turbulence abroad
would dash the U.S. econ-
omy by slashing interest
rates three times in three
months in late 1998. The
S&P 500 recovered
within a few months.
The action then is rem-
iniscent of the market’s
movements over the last
seven months. Last winter,
after setting its all-time
high on Sept. 20, 2018, the
S&P 500 plunged 19.8%
on worries that a reces-
sion was on the way. But
the Fed again helped put a

the economy could avoid a
recession after many years
of growth.
Few, if any, analysts on
Wall Street are predicting
a repeat of 1999 and 2000,
when the market’s recov-
ery ended up becoming
“It is unfathomable to
someone at this stage, as
it was in 1998, that you
could have meaningful
upside in the market given
where we are,” Chiavarone
said. “I think you have to
