focuses on providing in-
dividualized behavioral,

The clinic also conducts
research to develop better

According to the uni-
versity, Stratton-Gadke,
with co-principal investi-
gators, has secured more
than $3.3 million in grant

years. Under her leader-

Stratton-Gadke’s ap-

university continues con-
siderations for the future
of the T.K. Martin Center.
In April, MSU Presi-
dent Mark Keenum issued
a statement in response to
rumors swirling on social
media that the university
was planning to close the
center or severely reduce
its offerings.
At the time, Keenum
said MSU has “no plans”
to close the center and in-
tends to keep it operating
with the same programs it
currently offers.
MSU Chief Communi-
cations Officer Sid Salter
said at the time that the
center was facing a fund-
ing crunch, due to the loss
or reduction of grants that
make up the bulk of its
funding.
Since then, the univer-
sity has been working to
set funding plans for the
center’s future but has
not commented on those
plans publicly. Salter, in re-

Sex abuse crisis tops agenda as Southern Baptists convene

Delegates representing the nation’s largest
Protestant denomination will meet in
Birmingham, Alabama on Tuesday
By DAVID CRARY
AP National Writer
The Southern Baptist Con-
vention gathers for its annual
national meeting Tuesday with
one sobering topic — sex abuse
by clergy and staff — overshad-
owing all others.
Inside the meeting hall in
Birmingham, Alabama, dele-
gates representing the nation’s
largest Protestant denomina-
tion will likely vote on estab-
lishing criteria for expelling
churches that mishandle or cov-
er up abuse allegations. They
also may vote to establish a new
committee which would review
how member churches handle
claims of abuse.
Outside the convention cen-
ter, abuse survivors and other
activists plan a protest rally
Tuesday evening, demanding
that the SBC move faster to re-
quire sex-abuse training for all
pastors, staff and volunteers,
and to create a database of cred-
ibly accused abusers that could
be shared among its more than
47,000 churches. They will also
be urging the church, which es-
pouses all-male leadership, to
be more respectful of women’s
roles — a volatile topic that’s
sparked online debate over
whether women should preach
to men.
Sex abuse already was a
high-profile issue at the 2018
national meeting in Dallas, fol-
lowing revelations about sev-
eral sexual misconduct cases.
Soon after his election as SBC
president at that meeting, the
Rev. J.D. Greear formed an
advisory group to draft recom-
mendations on how to confront
the problem.
However, pressure on the
church has intensified in recent
months, due in part to articles
by the Houston Chronicle and
San Antonio Express-News
asserting that hundreds of
Southern Baptist clergy and
staff have been accused of sex-
ual misconduct over the past 20
years, including dozens who re-
turned to church duties, while
leaving more than 700 victims
with little in the way of justice
or apologies.
“For years, there were peo-
ple who assumed abuse was
simply a Roman Catholic prob-
lem,” said the Rev. Russell
Moore, who heads the SBC’s
public policy arm. “I see that
mentality dissipating. There
seems to be a growing sense of
vulnerability and a willingness
to address this crisis.”
The scandals have created
a major distraction at a time
when recent political events
have thrilled many Southern
Baptist members. The conven-
tion is happening in the state
that passed the strictest abor-
tion ban in the country, an issue
near and dear to many Baptists.
And President Donald Trump
has advanced an agenda that
has pleased many conservative
Christians, including a remade
U.S. Supreme Court.
With the abuse scandal
spreading, Greear’s study com-
mittee issued 10 recommenda-
tions, and some action has been
taken.
For example, a nine-mem-
ber team has been developing a
training curriculum to be used
by churches and seminaries to
improve responses to abuse.
The team includes a psycholo-
gist, a former prosecutor, a de-
tective, and attorney and abuse
survivor Rachael Denhollander,
the first women to go public
with charges against sports
doctor Larry Nassar ahead of
the prosecution that led to a
lengthy prison sentence.

University of Alabama rejects

$26M gift after abortion flap
Florida real estate investor called on
students to boycott the institution
over the state’s new abortion ban
By BLAKE PATERSON
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
— The University of Ala-
bama gave back a philan-
thropist’s $26.5 million
donation and took his
name off the law school
Friday, a week after he
called on students to boy-
cott the institution over
the state’s new abortion
ban.
Hugh F. Culverhouse
Jr., a 70-year-old Flori-
da real estate investor,
said he has no doubt the
board of trustees acted in
response to his remarks,
and he complained that
the state of Alabama is
only reinforcing its repu-
tation as “the land of the
backward,” full of “hicks.”
University officials
emphatically denied the
decision had anything
to do with Culverhouse’s
stand on the abortion law
and said it was prompted
instead by his attempts
to dictate how the money
should be spent. They did
not elaborate.
Culverhouse’s pledge,
announced in September,
was the biggest contribu-
tion ever made to the uni-
versity. In return, the law
school was renamed the
Hugh F. Culverhouse Jr.
School of Law.
Within minutes of the
trustees’ vote, a mainte-
nance crew had removed
his name and the univer-
sity had wired him a $21.5
million refund of the mon-
ey he had already given
the university toward ful-
filling his pledge.
Alabama’s toughest-in-
the-nation abortion ban,
passed last month and set
to take effect in Novem-
ber, would make terminat-
ing a pregnancy a crime
punishable by 10 years to
life in prison for the pro-
vider, with no exceptions
for rape or incest.
Last week, Culver-
house urged students to
boycott the university
over the ban, saying: “I
don’t want anybody to go
to that law school, espe-
cially women, until the
state gets its act together.

With Mexico deal done, US urges

China to resume trade talks
Treasury Secretary: No plans for talks in Washington
or Beijing before G-20 summit on June 28-29
By ELAINE KURTENBACH
AP Business Writer
FUKUOKA, Japan — One down,
still others to go. President Don-
ald Trump claimed a victory after
Washington and Mexico agreed on
measures to stem the flow of Central
American migrants into the United
States.
Trump called off plans to impose
a 5 percent tax on Mexican exports,
and Treasury Secretary Steven
Mnuchin, speaking to reporters Sat-
urday in Fukuoka on the sidelines of
a meeting of financial leaders of the
Group of 20 major economies, urged
China to follow suit and return to
stalled negotiations.
Mnuchin said he planned to have
a private conversation with the head
of China’s central bank, Yi Gang. In
a G-20 group meeting later in the
day, the two were seen exchanging
friendly remarks, but there were no
fresh signs Beijing is ready to com-
promise in the dispute over trade
and technology.
“From our perspective of where
we are now, it is a result of them
backtracking on significant com-
mitments,” Mnuchin said. “I don’t
think it’s a breakdown in trust or
good or bad faith. ... If they want to
come back and complete the deal on
the terms we were negotiating, that
would be great.”
Mnuchin said he had no direct
message to give to Yi, who has par-
ticipated in the 11 rounds of talks so
far on resolving the dispute between
the world’s two largest economies
over technology and trade.
He said there were no plans for
trade talks in Washington or Beijing
before Presidents Donald Trump
and Xi Jinping are due to meet in
Osaka for the G-20 summit on June
28-29.
“This will be a one-on-one with
Gov. Yi to talk alone about the trade
issues,” Mnuchin said. But he add-
ed, “I would expect the main prog-
ress will be at the G-20 meetings of
the presidents.”
The Trump administration began
slapping tariffs on imports of Chi-
nese goods nearly a year ago, accus-
ing Beijing of using predatory means
to lend Chinese companies an edge
in advanced technologies such as
artificial intelligence, robotics and
electric vehicles. Those tactics, the
U.S. contends, include hacking into
U.S. companies’ computers to steal
trade secrets, forcing foreign com-
panies to hand over sensitive tech-
nology in exchange for access to the
Chinese market and unfairly subsi-
dizing Chinese tech firms.

Roses and thorns
A rose to organizers of candidate forums
ahead of the August primaries. Thursday,
candidates for chancery clerk, District 1 su-
pervisor, District 17 state senator and Dis-
trict 1 justice court judge in Lowndes Coun-
ty participated in a forum at the Caledonia
Community Center. In April, a similar session attracted 23
candidates at Anderson Grove Community Center. Mean-
while, the Columbus Exchange Club has been devoting
its regular Thursday luncheons to hear from candidates
for particular races. What these forums have in common
is that they are held as non-partisan events, allowing all
willing candidates to make their cases. That’s important,
especially in county races where exposure for candidates
is minimal. We believe the forums allow voters to be better
informed on the races and, as a result, make better choices
when they go to the polls. We encourage groups to consider
following their lead. The more we know, the better we’ll be
represented.
A rose to 2019 Columbus High School
graduate Marian Turner who graduated
as valedictorian of CHS with a 4.581 grade
point average. But before that, she graduat-
ed Summa Cum Laude at East Mississippi
Community College with a 4.0. It is a great
personal accomplishment built on sacrifice and diligence.
But let’s also take a moment to acknowledge the oppor-
tunity provided for her. If ever there was a testimonial for
dual enrollment this is it. In the few years since high school
students were allowed to take community college classes
simultaneously with their high school work, many students
have used this to reduce the cost and time commitments
associated with earning a college degree. Turner will now
attend Spellman College to complete her studies. This is a
testament not only to Turner and her support system, but
the educators who have provided this fast-track to a degree.
Turner’s story should serve as an inspiration to other capa-
ble students.
A rose to the volunteer group Com-
munity Recovery of Lowndes County, for
stepping in where FEMA — at least to date
— has declined to go in helping victims of
the Feb. 23 Columbus tornado. This week,
volunteers from as near as Columbus and as
far as Belleville, Illinois, under the direction
of CRLC and United Way of Lowndes County, began demol-
ishing and removing debris from three homes on Shady
Street, one of several streets in north Columbus that saw
the most damage as a result of the tornado. They have also
gone to houses on Waterworks Road to help install air-con-
ditioner units and repair roofs on homes that are still in
livable condition. In March, FEMA ruled that it would not
help private property owners with damages they suffered
during the storm. While that ruling is under appeal, it may
turn out that no federal dollars will ever reach those who
need help with the recovery. Given that, the work of the
CRLC is crucial. We applaud everyone who has made dona-
tions or volunteered to help in this recovery and encourage
others to lend a hand as well.
A rose to the Columbus Lowndes
Chamber of Commerce and Main Street
Columbus for providing fun, free and fam-
ily-friendly entertainment as the long sum-
mer begins. Thursday marks the opening of
the 12th annual Sounds of Summer concert
series, which will feature music by Style the Band from 7-9
p.m. at the Columbus Riverwalk. Subsequent concerts will
feature Juke Joint Gypsies, Swing Shift and The Bouncing
Betty. The event has proven wildly popular, with folks gath-
ering at the Riverwalk an hour before the concerts, mixing
with neighbors and strangers alike in a relaxed setting. It’s
a great way to spend a summer’s evening.

Three juveniles arrested for Dick’s

Sporting Goods shoplifting
Columbus police: Fourth
suspect has been identified
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
Three juveniles have turned them-
selves in to Columbus Police Depart-
ment after allegedly shoplifting more
than $1,500 worth of items from Dick’s
Sporting Goods.
Investigators asked for the public’s
help last week seeking four individuals
who entered the Highway 45 North store
on May 20 and filled bags with Yeti cool-
ers and other high-end items and left the
store without paying in under six min-
utes. Police released stills and a video
from the store’s surveillance cameras of
the four suspects in hopes someone in
the public could identify them.
While only three juveniles turned
themselves in, police have identified and
are looking for the fourth suspect, ac-
cording to a CPD press release.
“I have to thank the local news media
for their assistance on this,” CPD Chief
Fred Shelton said in the release. “Be-
tween the news media and social media,
the video file was seen over 40,000 times
in three days and received over 200 com-
ments on Facebook. The persons that
turned themselves in told us that the
constant airing of the videos and photos
encouraged them to turn themselves in
to the police. They got a lot of pressure
from family and friends and they did the
right thing by coming to the police sta-
tion and meeting with detectives.”
Authorities did not identify the three
suspects because they are juveniles.
Their case is being handled through
Lowndes County Youth Court.

STARKVILLE — Redshirt ju-
nior Ethan Small let out a roar.
Leaping off the mound at a sold
out Dudy Noble Field, Small had
just fanned Stanford designated
hitter Will Matthiessen.
With a confident strut and his
head slightly tilted downward, he
headed to the dugout one final
time.
Anchoring the MSU (50-13)
pitching staff, Small delivered a
six-inning, 117-pitch outing in Sat-
urday’s 6-2 win over Stanford (45-
13) in game one of the Starkville
Super Regional.
While the final stat-line reflect-
ed his season-long dominance,
the first-round pick of the Major
League Baseball Draft was relative-
ly shaky in the early going.
Small quickly worked himself
into a bases loaded jam in the first
inning after allowing a single and
a walk. A fielding error from third
baseman Marshall Gilbert also
extended the frame.
On the ensuing at-bat, Stanford
first baseman Andrew Daschabach
roped a high fly ball to center
field. There, senior Jake Mangum
leapt against the wall and robbed
a potential-grand slam with the
webbing of his mitt for little more
than a sacrifice fly.
A Duke Kinamon groundout
ended the frame one batter later.
Small finished his night with
eight strikeouts, moving him into
fifth place on the all-time SEC sin-
gle-season list with 168 overall. He
also now ranks No. 1 in the NCA A
in the category this season.
At the plate, junior catcher
Dustin Skelton and sophomores
Josh Hatcher, Tanner Allen and
Jordan Westburg recorded multi-
hit games.
Skelton has now recorded two
or more hits in four of his past five
games.
Hatcher plated the first MSU
run of the night in the second in- Chris McDill/Special to The Dispatch

Arkansas offense overpowers Ole Miss in Game 1 of Super Regionals

Campbell’s 8 1/3 innings on mound keep Rebel bats at bay
From Special Reports
FAYET TEVILLE, Ark. — The No. 5
overall seed Arkansas Razorbacks owned
the day at Baum-Walker Stadium, taking
Game 1 of the NCAA Fayetteville Super
Regional, 11-2, over the No. 12 seed Ole
Miss Rebels.
Ole Miss struck first on a solo home
run in the first inning by Grae Kessinger,
but it was all Hogs from then on out. The
Arkansas lineup jumped on Will Ethridge,
snapping a string of three straight ap-
pearances with two runs or fewer allowed
by the Rebel ace.
Meanwhile, Isaiah Campbell was
terrific on the day for Arkansas. The
second-round MLB Draft pick went a
career-high 8.1 innings with two runs
allowed on five hits, striking out seven
and walking just one. Ole Miss’ only two
Brett Rojo-USA TODAY Sports
runs came on solo shots by Kessinger and
Mississippi Rebels first baseman Cole Zabowski (14) collides with shortstop Grae
Kessinger (center) and second baseman Jacob Adams (back) while going for a Thomas Dillard in the first and ninth in-
pop up fly ball during the game against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Baum-Walker nings, respectively.
Stadium Ole Miss started on a positive note
offensively thanks to Kessinger. The
All-American shortstop launched a one-
out home run into the Hog Pen in left to
give the Rebels an early 1-0 lead.
The Razorbacks answered right back
in the bottom half, first stringing together
three hits to tie the game at one. Ethridge
posted a pair of big strikeouts in the in-
ning, but Jack Kenley gave Arkansas a 4-1
lead on a three-run home run with two
outs.
In the second, the Rebels got a two-
out walk from Cooper Johnson before
Anthony Servideo barreled up a ball from
Campbell, but his line drive tailed right
into the glove of Casey Martin at short-
stop to end the inning.
Meanwhile, the Arkansas offense con-
tinued to attack in the second. An error
followed by a double put runners on sec-
ond and third with no outs. A Martin sac-
rifice fly and an RBI groundout by Matt
Goodheart made it 6-1, Hogs.

Peter Pan Stakes, the traditional prep for
the Belmont.
Rosario rode him for the first time in
that race, and the two put on a show Sat-
urday in front of a crowd of 56,217, earn-
ing $800,000 for owner Tracy Farmer.
Long shot Joevia finished third and
Tax was fourth.
The Triple Crown grind caught up to
Preakness winner War of Will, who ran
in all three races. He finished ninth in the
10-horse field.
The Belmont capped an entertaining
Triple Crown highlighted by the disqual-
ification of Maximum Security in the
Kentucky Derby. It sparked interest in
thoroughbred racing despite no possibili-
ty of the third Triple Crown winner in five
years, coming on the heels of Justify last
year and American Pharoah in 2015.
It was all positive. There were no trag-
edies on the track. No horses died.

The Belmont was a jockey’s race and
Rosario was the right rider on a horse full
of run.
Breaking from the No. 7 post, Rosario
guided the chestnut colt to the rail for
an energy-saving trip. Sir Winston was
eighth for the first half-mile and then
started to rally on the final turn.
Up front, 21-1 long shot Joevia con-
tinued to set the pace with Tax closely
tracking. In the stretch, Rosario angled
Sir Winston — named for Winston Chur-
chill — off the rail and slightly bothered
stablemate War of Will.
This time, there was no inquiry or ob-
jection. Sir Winston surged to the lead
with an eighth of a mile to go and held off
a late run from Tacitus, who had an ex-
tremely wide trip under jockey Jose Ortiz.
The second-place finish denied trainer
Bill Mott two-thirds of the Triple Crown.
His Country House was awarded first
place in the Kentucky Derby.
Sir Winston paid $22.40, $8.80 and
$6.10. Tacitus returned $3.90 and $3.20 as
the 9-5 favorite. Joevia hung on for third,
paying $8.70.

Bruins-Blues Cup Final Game 6
could hinge on officiating
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Patrick Maroon
doesn’t want to go there. Not even
about how the St. Louis Blues han-
dle the roller coaster of inconsis-
tent officiating.
“I’m not talking about it,” the
usually talkative Maroon said. “If
you want to talk about Game 6, I’ll
talk about Game 6.”
Except the St. Louis Blues and
Boston Bruins are so tight that
Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final is
absolutely in danger of hinging on
officiating. It might not necessari-
ly be a missed call like the one that
helped the Blues win Game 5 and
put them on the verge of winning
the Cup — it could simply be how
much leeway the referees give the
Blues and Bruins in the next chap-
ter of what has been a series of big
hits and more than a little animos-
ity.
“It’s tough to say,” Blues coach
Craig Berube said. “It’s important
for our team to just deal with it.”
Berube and Boston coach Bruce
Cassidy have voiced their displea-
sure to the referees at various
points, which is no surprise given
this has been the postseason of
officiating mishaps. Changes are
very likely coming to video review
and how the NHL handles these
situations moving forward, but
none of that will affect the Blues
and Bruins on Sunday night, when
the Stanley Cup could get wheeled
onto the ice for a celebration or
put on a plane back to Boston for
Game 7.
“We’re going to focus on playing
the game,” Berube said. “It goes
both ways. There’s calls either way
that could be made, and some are
made and some aren’t made.”
It has gone every which way.
Vegas was on the wrong end of an
incorrect major penalty that con-
tributed to losing Game 7 to San
Jose in the first round; the Blues
lost to the Sharks in overtime in
Game 3 of the Western Conference
final on a missed hand pass viola-
tion and St. Louis benefited from
a stunning non-call on Tyler Bozak

McIlroy moves into share

of lead at Canadian Open
The Associated Press

ANCASTER, Ontario — Rory McIlroy

shot a bogey-free 6-under 64 on Saturday
to move into a share of the lead after
three rounds at the Canadian Open.
Seeking his second victory of the sea-
son, McIlroy surged into a tie with Webb
Simpson (67) and Matt Kuchar (69) at
13-under 197.
Adam Hadwin, seeking to become the McIlroy
first Canadian winner of the event since
1954, was one shot back after a 67. Shane Lowry (66)
and Brandt Snedeker (69) were also 12 under.
McIlroy won The Players Championship in March
but has not seriously contended since. A victory would
be his fifth in a national open, following the U.S. Open
(2011), Australian Open (2013), British Open (2014)
and Irish Open (2016). His round was tied for the low-
est of the day at Hamilton Golf and Country Club with
Jonathan Byrd, who was tied for ninth at 8 under.
Kuchar, who shared the lead after two rounds, is
seeking his career-best third victory of the season.

NBA FINALS

With Leonard leading way,

Raptors on cusp of 1st NBA title
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — There
was a moment, not long before the
postseason started, when Toronto
coach Nick Nurse learned all that
he really needed to know about
Kawhi Leonard and what makes the
man of few words tick.

Golf is about as individual a sport
as there is. But the sixth-ranked
golfer in the world Justin Thomas
marveled after seeing Leonard in
person during these playoffs.
Leonard’s moment of entering
the realm of NBA superstardom
probably came in the 2014 finals
when San Antonio faced Miami for
the second consecutive year.
Leonard has scored 684 points
in this postseason, which is already
the eighth-most by any player in any
playoff run. If he scores 14 more on
Monday, he passes No. 7 Kobe Bry-
ant (2009) and No. 6 James (2012)
on that list. If he scores 24, he
then passes No. 5 Shaquille O’Neal
(2000) as well.
“It doesn’t matter,” Leonard said,
“until you get that fourth win.”
That’s the one he’ll aim to get on
Monday.

DETROIT — The Detroit Ti-
gers haven’t given their fans
much to cheer about at home this
season.
Playing in front of 26,818 fans
— their biggest crowd since open-
ing day — the Tigers routed the
Minnesota Twins 9-3 Saturday for
a rare home win.
The Tigers had lost three
straight and 13 of 14 at home,
including a winless nine-game
homestand May 13-23.
JaCoby Jones, always a crowd
favorite with his high-speed bas-
erunning and defense, continued
his hot streak at the plate with
two homers and a career-high
five RBIs.
Jones is hitting .420 with four
homers and 13 RBIs in his last 14
games, raising his batting aver-
age from .173 to .250.
Christin Stewart also homered
for the Tigers.
Nick Ramirez (2-0), Detroit’s
second pitcher in a bullpen game,
gave up one run and three hits
with three walks in three innings.
Minnesota dropped to 5-4 on a
10 -game road trip that ends Sun-
day.
“It was kind of an off afternoon
for us,” Twins manager Rocco
Baldelli said. “We really didn’t
get much going on either side of
the ball.”
Kyle Gibson (6 -3) gave up
five runs and eight hits with two
walks in five innings.
The Twins took a quick 1-0 lead
in the first. Max Kepler started
the game with a walk and Jorge
Polanco followed with an RBI
double off Farmer.
Jones put the Tigers ahead
with a three-run homer in the
second.
Minnesota pulled to 3-2
against Ramirez in the third.
Kepler walked again to start the

Columbus-Lowndes Habitat for Humanity ReSale Store Manager Abby Davis, left, and Chelcee Ezell position a donated entertainment cabinet at the
store on Gardner Boulevard in Columbus Wednesday. Davis became involved with Habitat for Humanity through a house build Heritage Academy partic-
ipated in 10 years ago. Ezell used to volunteer at the ReSale Store when she was a student a Heritage Academy; she is now on the Habitat staff.

“ ey, guys! Donation!”
Habitat for Humanity ReSale Store
Manager Abby Davis’ shout was
followed by the deep rumble of the building’s
wide metal lift door being raised. A vehicle
pulled up with a hefty donation for the store —
in this case, a sofa. The next hour could bring
a gently-used dining table and chairs, a box
of delicate glassware, kitchen cabinets from a
remodel, jewelry, a coffee table, surplus build-
ing supplies or a pair of ceramic pheasants.
The scenery is always changing in the ReSale
Store on Gardner Boulevard in east Columbus,
where donated items from the public are sold at
a fraction of their original retail price to benefit
Columbus-Lowndes Habitat for Humanity.
“Each week is different. Each week holds
surprises,” Davis said.
Receiving, sorting, cleaning, pricing and dis-
playing it all keeps staff and volunteers on the
move. The evolving inventory keeps shoppers
coming back every Friday and Saturday. Most
importantly, it all helps Habitat for Humanity
continue to put roofs over the heads of quali-
fied families and individuals in need of decent,
affordable housing. Jan Swoope/Dispatch Staff

Since opening in 2015, the ReSale

Store has become a hive of activity and
an asset to the local Habitat mission.
“We’d thought about starting a store
for some time, and some
of our board members
had visited other Habitat
‘ReStores,’” said CLHH
Executive Director Kathy
Arinder. Along with much
thought and research, “We
prayed about it a lot and
thought this could be not Arinder
only a way to extend our
ministry, but to also be a ministry to the
community so they can purchase quality
clean items.”
On Wednesday, volunteer Judith
Moore arranged donated woven baskets
on a store shelf. She comes in usually two
days each week and turns a hand to any
task needed, from washing glassware to
pulling nails out of boards. Davis refers to
her as a “triage” technician for donations;

a substantial donation to
its first Impact Award re-

Fourteen 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organizations
in Lowndes County have
been nominated for the
first Impact Award by
100+ WWC members.
Three will be randomly
drawn from that pool
at the June 18 meeting;
the group will hear a
five-minute presentation
on each of the three by a
nominating member. The
membership will then
vote, and the recipient
will be announced that
evening. All other nomi-
nated organizations will
remain in the nomination
pool for the next Impact
Award in October.
“It’s so simple and
so positive,” said Imes.
“There’s a one-hour
meeting twice a year,
and all that is required
of members is a com-
mitment of $100 each
time. All money raised
through membership
goes directly to the local
organizations and stays
in our community.”
Through the award se-
lection process, members
will learn about a broad
variety of local nonprofit
agencies.
“That’s what I think
is so wonderful — that
we will be hearing about
organizations we may
not know much about,”
Imes remarked. “After
hearing about them, I can
see people wanting to get
involved in them. This
could snowball into any
number of things.”

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: Do you have any
advice on how I can make
friends with people my own
age in my hometown? It’s a small
college town. I recently graduated
from the local university and still
live at home with my parents.
Most of the people I socialized
with in school have moved back
home after graduating, found
work, and seem uninterested in
contacting me, or they’re still in
school and very busy.
I’ve had some success making
friends online, but my internet
friends live out of state or abroad.
I work as a substitute teacher and
would like to make friends with
other subs and teachers, but I don’t get many
chances to interact with them.
I have always been somewhat
of an introvert and homebody
and don’t get out much. I want to
change that before I leave for grad
school next year, but I’m not sure
where to start. — HOMEBODY IN
OHIO
DEAR HOMEBODY: Start making
it a priority to get out of your par-
ents’ house and meet new people.
The first thing to do is figure out
where your interests lie. Surely in a
college town there are organizations
or groups that would interest you.
Dear Abby If you want to be more physically
active, consider joining a gym. If
you are political, reach out to the
party of your choice and volunteer. I’m sure you
will be welcomed with open arms. If you’re an ani-
mal lover, raise money for a pet rescue organiza-
tion. While you’re doing good, you will be getting
to know other like-minded individuals.
And remember that social skills don’t always
come naturally to people. The more you give
yourself a chance to practice, the better you will
become at them.
DEAR ABBY: My father has a problem with
food. He has no portion control. He rarely eats
fruits or vegetables, never exercises, and is
addicted to cigarettes. He admits he could do
better but makes no effort to improve his health.
To be honest, Dad is lazy and gluttonous.
I’m worried he will have cardiovascular health
issues in the future. My siblings and mother
share my concern. I am a recent college graduate
with a paying job, and I’m living at home tempo-
rarily to save money. I’m willing to exercise with
him and can commit to encouraging him daily.
How do I intervene without seeming disrespectful
(considering I’m still under his roof)? — WOR-
RIED ABOUT DAD
DEAR WORRIED: How about putting it this
way: “Dad, I love you so much. I want to have you
around for a long time. But I’m worried sick that
you’re so sedentary, your diet isn’t healthy and
you smoke. If you don’t start doing something
about these things, they are going to bite you
in the butt. Please let me help you to become
more active. I’d love to exercise with you, if you’re
willing. I know it would make you feel better if you
do.”
If your father is so addicted to nicotine that
he can’t quit on his own, suggest he talk to his
doctor about a smoking cessation plan. If you say
these things with love, it should not be regarded
as disrespectful.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 9).
You are capable of giving a bigger gift
to the world. This is what drives you,
especially in these first three months
of your solar return. You’ll learn what
you need to know to make a leap to
your new level of generosity. Work will
change. Key relationships will open
the door to knowing more people.
New contracts are part of this. Aries
and Virgo adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 15, 2, 20, 36 and 13.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD:
The main idea that comes out of this
solar opposition to Neptune is alarm-
ingly simple. It has to do with your
current position and why you’re there.
That fact is that you’re still in a rela-
tionship or still pursuing an endeavor
because the reasons to continue
outweigh the reasons to stop.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If
you don’t feel you’re helping, you
won’t be interested in what you’re
doing and you’ll leave. Helping is that
important to you. The second-most
important thing to you is growth. You
want to grow alongside the people
you help.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Pace
yourself. It’s the key to maintaining
(or reaching, as the case may be)
a certain level of joy. If you move
forward with all your plans, you’ll get
so busy that none of it will be fun. Be
choosey.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Oth-
ers will mess with your timetable, but
if you can think of this as more of a
reset than an upset, you’ll be poised
for one of those great unplanned
outcomes you’ve been known to
stumble into.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Orga-
nization makes the world go round.
Even your DNA is organized toward
your survival, health and uniqueness.
It’s amazing what can change just
because you start keeping track of
your life differently.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re
thinking long term and acting to
assist your future self. There’s
something you can do today that will
put you in a good position five years
from now.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The
job may not utilize your talents so
well, but that’s because people don’t
know any better yet. When you do
more to honor your talents, they’ll
take notice and start seeing you in a
different way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Momentary fears will be tolerated,
faced, pushed through in order to
become the brave and strong person
you need to be to live your bigger and
better life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
It’s almost as though the day was
designed to make you think fast,
dodge, climb, duck and generally
behave like an athlete in an obstacle
course. Hey, some people pay a lot
of money for this kind of excitement!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You might be surprised at what gets
people talking, just because it’s such
a small, strange detail. But really,
isn’t this perfect? As long as they are
talking, you can do something with
the attention.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Because any number of things can
and will happen, and rapidly at
that, what counts more will be your
takeaway and how you decide to
build from there. You could say that
it’s not the show but the recap that
matters.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’ll spend a good deal of time
nurturing your seeds of excellence
through feeding your mind, body and
soul with what it wants and needs.
Oh happy day! Those “wants” and
“needs” are well-aligned.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Po-
tential isn’t something that’s fixed in
your genes or destiny. Your potential
changes with your circumstances. It
expands and contracts in different
environments. Your intuition will tell
you where you need to be.

During that time she held

On May 4, Bryant graduated

Bryant, who plans to attend
Tougaloo College north of Jack-

in part to earn her associate’s

But she had other reasons as

Once she finishes medical

“I feel like I could innovate

like I could do a lot to motivate

ReSale Store
Continued from Page 1C
“My mother passed away
about two years ago,” Moore
began. As difficult as it is, fam-
ilies are often unable to hold on
to every item their loved ones
owned. When the time came,
Moore donated some of her
late mother’s possessions to
the Habitat store.
“They were so caring, so
thoughtful there,” she said. “I
was always aware of Habitat
and what they do for people,
but when I saw it myself, I
started volunteering.” She has
never regretted it.
“Everybody is so great to
work with ... and we’re helping
to build houses for people. It’s
amazing that I can be a part of
that.”
■■■
“Marco!”
“Polo!”
The call and response
echoed effectively through
the ReSale Store Wednesday,
useful in a building where
sight lines are interrupted by
shelving and furniture. “Marco
Polo” helps Davis and others lo-
cate each other when working
in different parts of the facil-
ity. The playful form of “tag”
brings a smile to their faces.
“It sounds so much like a
cliché, but it’s a
family here,” said
volunteer Billye
Asherbranner of
Steens. “Every-
body is a delight
— the volunteers
and the staff. I
love these peo- Asherbranner
ple.”
Asherbranner discovered
the store as a shopper first,
after her sister enthused about
it and told her to check out the
Facebook page. Davis posts

Thursday, previewing new
items available during weekly
Friday-Saturday store hours.
Arinder said, “It’s not un-
common to see 30 to 40 people
lined up outside before we open
up on Friday mornings. It’s fun.
The parking lot is full. A lot
of them are people who come
every week; they become like
family to us.”
“It’s incredible. The custom-
ers who are regulars come out
and have now become friends.
It’s like ‘How’s your mama and
them?’” Davis smiled. “And
people are still discovering us.”
■■■
While everybody loves a
bargain, the ReSale Store is not
just a “good deal” — it’s also a
good deal more.
Arinder noted that, in addi-
tion to helping offset expenses
or supporting house builds,
the store can also help toward
programs like a relatively new
repair ministry on homes of
elderly or disabled individuals.
“I think since the first of the
year we’ve done repairs on five
or six homes,” said Arinder.
Just as Habitat homeowners
pay an affordable interest-free
mortgage on their new hous-
es (and contribute required
hours of “sweat equity”), repair
recipients make manageable
monthly payments toward
materials.
“The store is kind of evolv-
ing into more than we anticipat-
ed,” Davis observed. It spreads
the word of the CLHH mission.
“There’s a bigger knowledge
now about Habitat and what
Courtesy photos
we’re doing because we’re able
to communicate that to people
who come in,” Arinder said.
■■■
Now in its 30th year,
Columbus-Lowndes Habitat
for Humanity is building its
49th home, expecting to have
it finished for the new senior
occupant, Mary Bush, by
her birthday in late July. And
there’s “Christmas in July” to
look forward to at the store. It’s
a festive weekend July 19-20
with Christmas music, snow
cones and a building filled with
holiday decor and gifts for sale.
Arinder credits the ReSale
Store’s success to the gener-
ous circle of those who donate
items, those who purchase
them, and volunteers that

Davis said, “It’s just amazing
how close they all
are. Volunteers
are the backbone
of every nonprof-
it. It’s about them
and their love for
the community.”
Of the store
and the Habitat Davis
mission, Asher-
branner summed up: “Every-

going to the store — it’s think-
ing about what it means to Mrs.
Bush’s house that’s being built
right now.” And every house
built, every family helped, for
