Nine coders graduate

from inaugural GTR Coding Academy
Six coders secure jobs
starting at $37,000
BY MARY POLLITZ
mpollitz@cdispatch.com

When Kingdom McGee had to

withdraw from Mississippi State Uni-
versity, he didn’t know his next step.
McGee, 23, was diagnosed with
severe blood clots and never thought
he would walk again. The Crawford
native said he saw a newspaper on
his table advertising 11-month free
tuition for a coding academy in Co-
lumbus. McGee’s health started to
improve and he decided to take a
chance.
“It sounded too good to be true,”
McGee said. “But I thought, ‘why
not?’ I was interested in computer sci-
ence but I had no coding experience.”
More than a year after he start-
ed in the academy’s first class in
November 2017, McGee is now one
of nine coders who graduated from
GTR Coding Academy last year. He
was one of six that found immediate
employment. All six had starting sal- Courtesy photo/Chauncey Magnum

Unity Park, during a cer-
emony honoring the lega-
cy of Martin Luther King
Jr. and adding Ashford as
an honoree at the park.
Also added to the park’s
honorees was Adelaide
Jeanette Elliott.
Unity Park, located
behind the former Mug-
shots building on D.L.
Connor Drive, is dedicat-
ed toward recognizing
individuals and events
that advanced civil rights
locally and nationally. In
2018, the park began add-
ing plaques annually to
recognize local individu-
als who have contributed
to civil rights in Oktibbe-
ha County.
Ashford was a veteran
and auto mechanic and El-
liott a teacher. Both were
also civil rights workers,
with Ashford helping Af-
rican Americans register
to vote after he returned
from military service and
Elliott helping organize
the Oktibbeha County
chapter of the NA ACP.
Jeanne Marszalek,
chair of the Unity Park
Committee, said both
Ashford and Elliott are
worthy additions to Unity
Park.
“Both of these hon-
orees were outstanding
citizens who have given
unselfishly of themselves
for the civil rights of oth-
ers and to promote unity
for others,” she said.
Annette Ashford Johnson speaks about her father,
Wilson Ashford Sr, during Monday’s ceremony at Unity
Park. Johnson nominated Ashford to be added to Unity
Park as a civil rights worker..
Honorees
Ashford lived from
1923-2012. He served
in the U.S. Army in the
1940s and helped Afri-
can Americans register
to vote after returning
home from service. He
participated in marches,
sit-ins, boycotts, helped
organize the Oktibbeha
County chapter of the
NA ACP and was active
with Habitat for Human-
ity.
Ashford also served on
the Starkville School Dis-
trict board. He received
the Veitch Community
Alex Holloway/Dispatch Staff
Service Award from the
Chamber of Commerce
in 1993.
Johnson, who nomi-
nated her father for ad-
dition to Unity Park, said
Ashford has left a lasting
impact on Oktibbeha
County.
“My dad believed in
progressive communities
and tried to help any- and
everyone he could,” she
said.
She added her father’s

faced boycotts because of
his civil rights work.

nized at the NA ACP’s
34th Freedom Awards
banquet for her work in
organizing the Oktibbe-
ha County chapter and
her lifetime of service
and work as a youth di-
rector and secretary with
the organization.
Walter Conley, for-
mer superintendent for
the Oktibbeha County
School District and who
nominated Elliott, said
she was a tireless worker
who he knew for many
years.
“She as a pioneer,” he
said. “She played lead-

in Oktibbeha County,
including the NA ACP —
she was a charter mem-
ber. She was an activist.
She was active in civil
rights marches, she was
active in boycotts and
protests that eventually
led to opportunities for
many African Ameri-
cans in this community.
She was instrumental in
getting parents to build
rooms at the local school.
“She was a leader,” he
added. “She would go,
if she had to by herself.
Instead of working 24/7,
she would work 25/8 to
demonstrate her leader-
ship skills and determi-
nation.”
Elliott traveled to Jack-
son to attend NA ACP
meetings before the Ok-
tibbeha County chapter
was founded. Being an
NA ACP member was
dangerous at the time, he
said, as was traveling on
Mississippi’s roads.
“I have and continue to
have the utmost respect
for Ms. Adelaide because
of her dedication as an
educator, commitment to
many causes, encourage-
ment to me personally,
her students and many
others to stay the course
no matter how difficult it
is, not to give up,” Conley
said.

She said she couldn’t
think of a more deserv-

ognition.
“I’m thankful that

The program is 11

cies. The end goal of the
program, Lee said, is to

The first class gradu-
ated in November, with
a graduation ceremony
this past Saturday. Lee
said she is still working
with three of the gradu-
ates to find jobs.
One of the nine grad-
uates, 23-year-old Re-
ece Pavatte, has already
found a job as a client
technician for BankTel in
Columbus. Like McGee,
in 2017 Pavatte didn’t
know what he would do
with his life when he en-
rolled in the academy’s
first class.
“I knew I wanted to be
in school,” Pavatte said.
“I had no prior coding
knowledge or experi-
ence. But I did it anyway
and I fell in love with it
and thought this could
really be a career for
me.”

ly become

“I got here without

said. “It’s pretty exciting
and something I never
thought I would be do-
ing. (The academy) re-
ally pushed us. I enjoy
making projects and I
can definitely see it as a
long-term career option.”
Long-term success
For McGee, find-
ing a job after graduat-
ing wasn’t easy as he
watched his classmates
recruited by employers.
Last November, he re-
ceived a rejection letter,
but just four days later,
McGee said he had a
voicemail from the Corps
that changed his life.
“They said, ‘we like
what we see,’” McGee
said. “I was floored. Be-
fore, I thought that my
opportunity was gone.
That moment was life
changing for me.” Mc-
Gee said that wouldn’t

to never stop learning
and to grow with technol-

“There’s no telling
where my job might lead
me,” McGee said. “I’m

I’m eager to see what
else is out there for me.
My past two years have
been truly blessed. You
can’t write or make this
stuff up. I have a creative
background and coding
is another one of those
outlets for me and peo-
ple want to pay me to do
this.”
Though the first
weeks of his job is pri-
marily training, McGee
said he will be doing
software development
for various branches of
the military. In the end,
he hopes to eventually
work for a government
agency.

also a positive thing for
the state in that we are
increasing the tax base
and increasing the pool
for qualified persons for
technical jobs, which
hopefully will result in
more companies coming
to Mississippi and pro-
viding those jobs.”
The second class of
coders is slated to grad-
uate 13 students in June.
Lee said the academy is
taking applications for
the next class which will
start in July. Each appli-
cation is reviewed by a
board and followed up by
an interview. The acade-

seriously. Looking to ex-

Our View
Clinging to irrational traditions
In the Mississippi Legisla-
ture, some bills are considered
dead on arrival.
Each year, hundreds of bills
are filed that have no chance
of passage. They are often pre-
sented by legislators who are
trying to make a point rather
than enact new law.
Most of those bills are
either downright silly, so
narrowly focused as to be
irrelevant or patently unconsti-
tutional.
But not all bills that die
in committee without ever
having reached the floor for
a vote fit those descriptions.
Sometimes, the bills are wor-
thy of the attention of the full
Legislature, yet die in commit-
tee nevertheless.
Last week, Rep. Kabir
Karriem filed such a bill.
House Bill 750 would remove
a holiday celebrating Robert
E. Lee’s birthday and Confed-
erate Memorial Day as official
state holidays.
Robert E. Lee’s birthday
was established in 1910 as
an official state holiday — a
time when Jim Crow rule in
the South was establishing its
dominance — and has been
celebrated on the third Mon-
day of January ever since. In
1997, 14 years after it became a
federal holiday, Martin Luther
King Jr. Day became a state
holiday as well. Since then,
MLK and Lee have shared the
same holiday in Mississippi,
as it does in Alabama. For
many, that seems unseemly,
given that each man’s legacy
is diametrically opposed to the
other. Lee fought to sustain
slavery. King fought to cast
off the lingering effects of the
racial injustice that persisted
long after the war had ended.
Why Mississippi, in 2019,
still celebrates Lee’s birthday
is hard to grasp. As far as can
be determined, Lee has no ties
to the state and likely never set
foot on Mississippi soil aside
from the chance that he might
have passed thorough the
state en route to the Mexican
War, 12 years before the Civil
War.
Lee’s birthday celebration
is a relic of a unenlightened pe-
riod in our history and should
have been discarded long ago.
But to give you a sense of
just how stubbornly many peo-
ple in our state still cling to the
vestiges of a “lost cause” that
deserved to be lost, consider
the reaction to a Facebook
post Gov. Phil Bryant posted
on Monday, the joint MLK-Lee
holiday.
The Governor’s post sug-
gested that Mississippians
visit the Museum of Mississip-
pi History and the Mississippi
Civil Rights Museum as a way
to celebrate MLK Day.
The comment section
was peppered with insulted
Confederates, reminding the
Governor that Monday was
Robert E. Lee Day.
One response chastised the
governor for that omission of
“our history.” For the record,
MLK actually did visit Mis-
sissippi, so he likely holds a
better claim on being part of
our history than Lee.
If you want to know why
Mississippi still has confeder-
ate imagery in its state flag,
why Confederate Memorial
Day is still celebrated jointly
with the national Memorial
Day or why each April is des-
ignated “Confederate Heritage
Month,” look no further than
the attitudes reflected in those
comments on the Governor’s
Facebook page.
That will also explain why
Karriem’s bill has zero chance
of a fair hearing in the Legis-
lature. Even legislators who
might agree with Karriem
are going to be reluctant to
support the bill openly. It’s an
election year, after all. Sadly
ruffling the feathers of those
whose cling to all things Con-
federate remains a political
liability.
So Karriem’s bill — much
like the bill he filed last
year that sought to appease
the Confederates by simply
separating the two holidays
— will die quietly in the Rules
Committee.
That’s unfortunate.
On Monday, as politicians
paused to note MLK Day,
they noted that our state has
made great progress in race
relations while acknowledging
that we still have far to go.
The fate of Karriem’s bill
doesn’t negate the first part of
that statement, but it certainly
affirms the second.
Our state is nowhere near
ready to abandon those old
hurtful traditions.
It’s really just that simple.

Mississippi voices

Why did Mississippi lose population last year?

New Census
data shows
income tax free
states as the
big winners
when it comes
to adding resi-
dents.
Because of
our federalist
system, we
have 50 states
competing with Jon Pritchett
one another
for talent,
opportunity, and economic resources.
Each state is largely free to dictate
what they believe is the appropriate
level of taxation, regulation, and size of
government.
The annual Census estimates help
answer the questions of what Amer-
icans prefer. With the most recently
released data, we once again see low-
and-no-income tax states growing.
The two hardest-hit states were New
York and Illinois, which lost 48,000 and
45,000 residents, respectively. These
states, home to the largest and third
largest cities in the country, are both
known for burdensome regulations and
outsized taxes.
Unfortunately, Mississippi joined
New York and Illinois in the group of
nine states that lost residents last year.
After a small growth the previous year,
Mississippi lost more than 3,000 resi-
dents between July 1, 2017 and June 30,
2018. This marks the third time in four
years that population has declined.
Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona,
Florida, Washington, Colorado, and
So, what can Mississippi do to become one of the
beneficiaries of American migration? It can focus
on fostering a climate that attracts and supports
entrepreneurs, whether home-grown or imported,
and small business owners.
Each state is known for low taxes and
a business-friendly climate. By “busi-
ness-friendly,” we don’t mean corporate
cronyism, monopoly protectionism,
and regulatory capture schemes for
the companies with the greatest legal
and lobbying resources. Instead, we
mean states with a predictable and low
regulatory and tax hurdle for all shapes
and sizes of businesses.
So, do people simply decide they are
willing to leave a current high-earning
job in a high-tax state to avoid income
taxes? Not likely. The truth is taxes
aren’t the single driver. Opportunity
plays a major role, too. These two fac-
tors are incontrovertibly linked.
So, what can Mississippi do to be-
come one of the beneficiaries of Ameri-
can migration? It can focus on fostering
a climate that attracts and supports
entrepreneurs, whether home-grown or
imported, and small business owners.
Where entrepreneurs and small busi-
nesses thrive, private capital is attract-
ed, in the form of investors, to ideas
that improve the lives of citizens.
It has always been true that the
pursuit of financial gain, through the
private profit and loss system, has been
the greatest driver of economic pros-
to that community are infinitely greater
than when government tries to orches-
trate them.
Mississippi is a place with gracious
people, beautiful surroundings, a tem-
perate climate, and an alluring culture.
It’s the kind of place that should thrive
when the economy is strong and people
are free to flee less hospitable places.
Why are we not thriving? Because
opportunities have been inadvertently
limited by government policies. In
short, our preference for federal grants
and state-based (public) solutions have
thwarted the way a free market econo-
my is designed to work.
We rely on the government for too
much. Whether for a grant, a subsidy,
an incentive, a contract, or a job, we
have far too much public sector in-
volvement in our economy. Indeed, 55
percent of our economy is controlled
by the public sector. Such behavior
does not lead to sustainable economic
growth. In prosperous economies, gov-
ernment plays the important but limit-
ed role of protecting liberty, property
and enforcing contracts; it does not try
to control the allocation of economic
resources.
Another significant problem is our
area of new regulatory review, we lack
a mechanism to repeal or “sunset” out-
dated or unnecessary regulations. We
need a non-governmental, independent
review board with the authority to roll
back our excessive regulatory envi-
ronment, beginning with occupational
licensing.
The other driver is our business-re-
lated sales and property taxes. In Mis-
sissippi, we tax land, buildings, invento-
ry, and equipment at higher rates than
all surrounding states. Higher taxes
reduce business activity. We make this
situation worse when we provide tax
exemptions to new companies, shifting
even more of the tax burden to existing
companies. If we have to offer major
tax credits to companies to come here,
that proves previous lawmakers created
an unfavorable business tax climate.
Rather than targeting new companies
or industries with tax relief, we should
target all companies and industries
with a lower business tax climate.
Mississippi can make policy adjust-
ments that maximize our potential
to participate more fully in a national
economy that is prospering like never
before. Every state in the South has
benefited from the resulting migration
of people escaping high tax states
with the exception of Mississippi and
Louisiana. If we reduce the cost and
burden of government and focus our
efforts on creating an economy driven
by private entrepreneurs and small
business owners, the evidence shows
us that economic growth and prosperi-
ty will follow.

streets believed to be named
for Confederate military figures
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Residents in an Atlanta neigh-
borhood are celebrating the renaming of Con-
federate Avenue.
But the fate of Atlanta’s many other Civil-War
themed streets and markers remains undecid-
ed.
The switch from Confederate Avenue to
“United Avenue” is among the latest changes
amid nationwide debate over Civil War-themed
monuments and symbols, The Atlanta Jour-
nal-Constitution reported.
The newspaper reports that Atlanta is home
to at least 25 streets believed to be named for
military figures and leaders who supported the
Confederacy during the Civil War.
A panel in 2017 recommended that other At-
lanta streets be renamed, just as Confederate
Avenue was. A city council committee is now ex-
ploring how to carry out that recommendation.
The panel which had been convened by for-
mer Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed recommended
that the city immediately change the names of
the streets honoring John B. Gordon, a Confed-
erate general who was the head of the Ku Klux
Klan in Georgia after the Civil War.
The panel also called for immediate changes
to streets named after Robert E. Lee; Nathan
Bedford Forrest, a founder of the Ku Klux Klan;
Stephen Dill Lee, a Confederate soldier and
founder of an organization that championed the
Lost Cause; and Howell Cobb, an opponent of
Reconstruction.
The city council’s street names committee
will meet again in the coming weeks.

Health tip
n Eat fatty fish. Pretty much everyone agrees
that fish is healthy. This is particularly true of fatty
fish, like salmon, which is loaded with omega-3
fatty acids and various other nutrients.

Health tips from Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen

Highfalutin lutein: Get the most
out of this phytonutrient
When Sade (pronounced
“sha-day”) sings “Smooth Oper-
ator” your heartbeat slows, your
shoulders relax, you feel calmer.
That’s good for heart ‘n’ soul! Well,
smoothies can do the same for you
if you make them with spinach or
other dark green, leafy veggies.
Researchers from Sweden’s
Linkoping University have studied
the nutrient lutein — a fat-soluble
pigment that’s abundant in dark-
green vegetables — and found that
it tamps down inflammation in im-
mune system cells and your body
stores it to use if needed to help
cool heart-damaging inflammation.
That made them wonder:
What’s the best way to prepare
lutein-rich foods to make sure you
get the most of that nutrient in
every tasty mouthful? So, for a new
study, published in Food Chemis-
try, they fried, boiled and steamed
baby spinach, and then measured
the surviving lutein content. They
compared that to raw spinach and
found that the highest lutein levels
were maintained when uncooked
spinach was chopped into tiny
pieces — like when it’s added to a
smoothie. So, try our favorites!
Dr. Mike’s daily dinner green
drink! For three to four servings,
blend: 2 cups spinach; 2 cups cu-
cumber; 1 head of celery; 1/2 inch
or teaspoon ginger root; 1 bunch
parsley; 4 teaspoons psyllium fiber
(sugar-free Metamucil); 2 apples;
juice of 1 lime; juice
of 1/2 lemon.

cup unsweetened

What happens when teens
get enough sleep?
Sarah Michelle Gellar played
Buffy Summers in TV’s “Buffy the
Vampire Slayer,” which, among
other things, was about getting
through high school on very little
sleep. Buffy spent most nights
fighting mythical creatures. As a
result, she could barely keep her
eyes open in class, and her aca-
demics suffered.
While most high-schoolers
aren’t out all night battling vam-
pires, research finds that most are
sleep-deprived. One study found
that 40 percent of teens in the
U.S. sleep less than seven hours
nightly.
Many experts say this could be
fixed by starting school later in
the day. Recently, a pilot program
called Sleepmore in Seattle was
introduced at two high schools
in Seattle. The
program delayed
the morning start
time from 7:50 to
8:45a.m. so teens
could get a half-
hour more sleep
and experience
less drowsiness
during the day.
It paid off. Many
teens improved
their academic
performance. The
late start time
was associated with a 4.5 percent
increase in median grades. And
teens from economically disadvan-
taged homes had better attendance
and were late less often.
So, while you’re lobbying for a
change of your teen’s school start
time, you can also make sleep
hygiene a priority at your house.
Experts say that teens need at least
nine hours of sleep each night.
Encourage your teen to develop
a nighttime routine that achieves
close to that. Regular physical
activity and stress management
help regulate the sleep/wake cycle.
Also, the bed should be used only
for sleep — no texting or tweeting!

Oxford opening new center
for sports and other activities
OXFORD — Just over a year after
groundbreaking, a new recreation in
north Mississippi is about to host its first
activities.
The Oxford Eagle reports that con-
struction on the Oxford Activity Center
is finished.
The center will only be open at night
for the first few weeks to let the parks
commission conclude its basketball sea-
son.
Multiple full-sized high school bas-
ketball courts will have lines marked
for other sports, including pickleball
and volleyball. New equipment will be
installed in the gymnastics wing in the
coming months. The second floor has a
walking track and a video game space.
There’s also a room for dance and yoga
classes.
Plans are in place to do a grand-open-
ing in the spring, and the center could be
in full operation by April 1.
March 1 deadline set for Alcorn
State presidency applicants
JACKSON — Trustees are setting a
March 1 deadline for applications to be-
come president of Alcorn State Universi-
ty, with the goal of choosing a new leader
in April.
Applications should be submitted to
Parker Executive Search, the firm the
board is using to screen applicants
The College Board says members of
a campus search advisory committee
will examine applicants and suggest at
least five names to a five-member trust-
ee committee.
Trustees will chose which candidates
are interviewed, with the goal of naming
one preferred candidate. The board says
it hopes the candidate could visit cam-
pus for a series of interviews in April.
Al Rankins Jr., Alcorn’s previous pres-
ident, became higher education commis-
sioner on July 1, overseeing the state’s
eight public universities. The historical-
ly black institution has 3,800 students.
Bar patrons won’t have to go home
quite as early in Oxford
OXFORD — Bar patrons won’t be
able to buy alcohol any later in one Mis-
sissippi college town, but they will get a
little longer to finish their drinks.
The Oxford Eagle reports that al-
dermen have approved a resolution al-
lowing patrons at bars near the Oxford
square to consume alcohol until 2 a.m.
most nights, although they won’t be able
to buy alcohol after 1 a.m. The city will
complete a change to its ordinances lat-
er.
Mayor Robyn Tannehill says the wave
of bar patrons exiting at 1 a.m. presents
public safety problems in downtown Ox-
ford. She says the city hopes for “more of
a trickle-out effect.”
Tannehill said the state Alcohol Bev-
erage Control division supports the
change. She says more staggered depar-
tures could also help taxi services carry
more patrons home.

No. 22 Bulldogs look for rebounds, rare road win at No. 8 Wildcats
By Scot t Walters
swalters@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Mississip-
pi State men’s basketball coach
Ben Howland knows the chal-
lenge will be great when his
No. 22 Bulldogs face No. 8 Ken-
tucky at 6 tonight in Southeast-
ern Conference play at Rupp
Arena.
However, he feels like limit-
ing the Wildcats on the boards
and keeping them off the free
throw line will give his team a
chance.
“(Kentucky is) really talent-
ed,” Howland said. “They’re
always going to play good de-
fense. They’ll play different
ways based on their team and
their personnel. They’re always
good defensively, and they’ll al-
ways take good shots. I think a
big trademark is that they try
and beat you up on the glass.
Every year, Kentucky is always
way up at the top in rebound
margin. This year, there’s no
exception. They really try to
pound you on the glass, and
they get to the line 20 times a

game plus. They’re battle-test-
ed. Every time they play any-
body, it’s that team’s big game
because you’re playing the
iconic Kentucky program and
brand.”
MSU (14-3, 2-2 SEC) remains
on the road after a 71-55 win at
Vanderbilt Saturday night. Af-
ter winning 12 of 13 non-confer-
ence games, the start of South-
eastern Conference play was
tough with back--to-back loss-
es by a combined nine points.
MSU then beat Florida on the
final play at home before taking
to the road for a dominant per-
formance at Vanderbilt.
The Bulldogs scored the
game’s first 10 points and held a
sizable lead throughout the first
half before Vanderbilt closed
within eight at halftime.
Playing without point guard
Lamar Peters for a large stretch
due to foul trouble, the Bulldogs
blew the contest open midway
through the second half.
“(Playing without Peters)
showed we had good resolve
and that we had other guys step
up,” Howland said. “That was
good. I think our two freshmen
in particular played well on Sat-
urday. Both Reggie (Perry) and
Robert (Woodard II) played
very well. They’re playing good
minutes. They’re both very
good for us and really helped
us. I thought Tyson’s (Carter)
minutes increased.

WILLING TO LISTEN
Patience, leadership paying dividends for Caledonia’s Truelock
By Adam Minichino
aminichino@cdispatch.com
CALEDONIA — Listening has helped
Lizzie Truelock experience an epiphany
this season.
Earlier in her Caledonia High School
soccer career, Truelock would be content
to go all out with one goal in mind.
The forward would sometimes be suc-
cessful. Other times, though, she would
go so fast that she would realize possible
connections or opportunities that would
have helped her or her teammates ac-
complish the same goal possibly a little
easier.
Listening became a little easier once
Truelock slowed down a little bit.

(Super Bowl).
Prescott completed
67.7 percent of his pass-
es for 3,885 yards and 22
touchdowns this season.
He also made the Pro
Bowl after his rookie sea-
son after leading the Cow-
boys to the NFC Eastern
Division title in 2016.
For Cooper, this is his
third Pro Bowl appear-
ance, and his first with the
Cowboys. He proved to be
a spark for a struggling
Dallas offense, catching
53 passes for a team-high
725 yards and six touch-
downs. Combined with
his six games this year
in Oakland to begin the
season, Cooper finished
the year with 75 catches
for 1,005 yards and sev-
en scores. Cooper made
the Pro Bowl his first two
years in Oakland in 2015
and 2016.
The Cowboys are now
back to six players expect-
ed to play in the game.
Just last week, both Zack
Martin and Tyron Smith
decided not to play due to
injuries.
Both Cooper and
Prescott will now join
four others: DeMarcus

Truelock
Continued from Page 1B
Slowing down has made that
communication easier for True-
lock, who also was a standout
on the school’s volleyball team.
In that sport, Truelock said
communication is “huge” and
there would be a “train wreck”
without it. She said you can play
soccer without communicating,
but she said the communication
she learned during volleyball
season carried over to soccer
season.
“It really has been my team’s
support and motivation and
their effect on me that has
helped me become the player I
am,” Truelock said.
Caledonia (11-1-2) will make
up a girls-boys doubleheader
against Kosciusko on Thursday,
which also will be Senior Night.
The evening will be a chance to
honor Truelock and classmates
Shelbi Box, Gracie McBrayer,
and Hanna Pettigrew.
For Truelock, the match will
be one more step in a journey
that has seen her emerge as a
more patient player. As a result,
Alexander said Truelock is one
of the team’s leading goal scor-
ers with 15-20 goals.
“She can strike the ball
well and she has speed, not
just speed but quickness,” Al-
exander said of a forward who
can play on the right or the left
wing. “She has always been a
quality player, but one thing I
think has helped her turn the
corner, so to speak, I have em-
phasized there is a time to shoot
and there is a time to finish. If
you’re 10, 12, or 15 yards out,
you can still finish there. Take
away from some of the power,
pick a spot, and slide it past the
keeper as opposed to striking it
laces first and you’re hitting it
hard but nine times out of 10 it
is going to over the crossbar or
straight to the keeper.”
Alexander said Truelock has
gained perspective with experi-
ence to realize she doesn’t need
to go fast or hard on every play.
He said the match against New
Hope was a prime example be-
cause he said she slowed down,
curbed her adrenaline, and fin-
ished like a seasoned veteran.
“She is definitely hitting
her groove and staying calm
in front of the goal,” Alexander
said. “It all goes back to her
being cool, calm, and collected
and finishing as opposed to just
whacking it.”
Truelock used the word “ant-
sy” to describe her play last
season. She also used words
like “spastic” and “jumpy” to ex-
plain how she would go 90 mph
in an attempt to accomplish a
goal.
This season, though, True-
lock said she has moved away
from the “impulsive” player she
used to be and feels she has
“calmed down” when she has
possession of the ball and is
doing a better job of listening
to her teammates. She said the
Lady Confederates’ ability to
come together has been a key
ingredient to their success.
“I am really like go, go, go,
and this year I have slowed
down and I have connected
with the team more and we
have accomplished a lot,” True-
lock said.
Truelock hopes to accom-
plish more. She said she has
received some offers play soc-
cer in college, but she isn’t sure
if she will concentrate on her
studies — she wants to be a
veterinarian — instead of play-
ing a sport. Truelock said she
has plenty of options and she
is waiting to see what happens
before she makes a final deci-
sion. Whatever choice Truelock
makes, she said she wants to
watch her younger sister, Kait-
lyn, grow as a volleyball player.
Kaitlyn also is a manager on the
soccer team.
After describing herself as
“antsy” as a younger player,
Lizzie Truelock said she takes
pride in being able to re-classi-
fy herself as “determined” and
“matured” as a senior.
“I feel like I can always get
better in (the aspect of matur-
ing),” Truelock said, “so I am
not going to stop here. I am go-
ing to keep trying to improve.”

CANDORVILLE Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan.
22). Destiny is a weaver, and
this year’s design is rather
intricate. The success secret is
to pay attention to the patterns
you want to repeat and to ignore
the ones you don’t. February
brings a windfall. In March,
you’ll nourish the needy and the
worthy. In July, you’ll decide for
a group and promote a higher
level of existing, too. Leo and
Scorpio adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 49, 24, 3, 10
BABY BLUES and 16.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You really don’t owe anyone
an explanation, but you may
choose to explain anyway,
instead of leaving the story to
people’s imaginations, which
can be wild, strange and unpre-
dictably aimed.
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
To be content with yourself is
the aim here, and one of the
best signifiers of success that
you could ever have. And the
best part is that if you really
wanted to, you could make it
happen in an instant.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Emotional work doesn’t look like
other kinds of work but it can be
just as demanding as physical
work, if not more so. Some
people give you emotional work
without realizing it’s what they
are doing. Educate them.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Don’t beat yourself up because
you were not able to do what
you told yourself to do. Be kind.
Be curious about yourself.
Self-knowledge takes time. The
better you know yourself, the
more effectively you’ll be able to
lead yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
While technically it’s not your
job to stir up the people and
strengthen their collective spirit,
you are the best person for the
task, as you have that special
charisma they want to follow.
And this group could really use
some unity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There’s a decision hanging in
the balance and it should not
be made impulsively. Hold off.
More will be illuminated. When
it’s time, you’ll be absolutely
certain of your choice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
A trip down memory lane is fea-
tured, and you may be surprised
about how others remember it.
No one’s story will be com-
pletely right or wrong. There’s
something to be learned from
this discrepancy of vision.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). There are people who
seem to be able to get you to
do things you normally wouldn’t.
They seem outside of the rules.
“Morality, like art, means draw-
ing a line someplace.” — Oscar
Wilde
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Why is it so hard to
believe that what matters to you
counts as very important? Sure,
in the big scheme, it may not
affect many, or have life-and-
death consequences. But it’s
as important as anyone else’s
agenda you know.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You’ve been very accom-
modating, and now it’s time to
stop and let others make the
effort for a change. If you keep
this up, the pattern will settle
with you in the never-ending
service position.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The term “gaslighting” re-
fers to when one person manip-
ulates another into questioning
his or her own sanity. You’re
immune to this. You know that
everyone sees things differently
and refuse to engage in useless
arguments.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). There’s a situation that,
from the outside, seems
privileged and enviable, but
it’s not the case. If anyone can
see this, it’s you. You’re in the
unique position to help some-
one who, to others, wouldn’t
seem to need help.
