Board approves $22 million in revenue bonds for Starkville Utilities

Bonds to fund

ment to is-
sue up to $22 million in
revenue bonds to fund
major electric and water
system projects.
Starkville Utilities’ re-
quests are for up to $12
million for electric proj-
ects and up to $10 mil-
lion for water and sew-
er projects. Aldermen
approved the bonds 6 -1,
with Ward 6’s Roy A. Per-
kins opposing. Perkins
said after the meeting he
was concerned the bonds
might lead to future rate
increases.
Department General
Manager Terry Kemp
said the bonds for the
electric department are
primarily meant to build
a new substation. He
said the new station —
planned for Azalea Lane
— will replace the one
on Industrial Park Road,
which is the oldest in the
city’s system.
“The majority will be
the station,” Kemp said.
“But in addition to that,
there’s quite a bit of tran-
sition line associated
with this.”
Kemp said the station
will also come with a
new delivery point from
the Tennessee Valley
Authority, which should
provide better reliability.
“It will improve our

capacity and through
this entire project,
should eliminate some
of our operational prob-
lems that we have when
we’re actually switch-
ing,” he said. “Currently,
because of the way the
station is configured,
there’s a phase separa-
tion, which means in
some situations we have
to take a momentary in-
terruption. We want to
eliminate that going for-
ward because that is a
problem for some of our
customers.”
Kemp said the substa-
tion and associated work
should take about three
years to complete.
The water and sew-
age projects, Kemp said,
are focused on the city’s
sewage lagoon on Sand
Road, which is nearly at
capacity.
Kemp said SUD
looked at three options.
One was to drain the
lagoon and move the
material to another lo-
cation. Another called
for raising the sides of
the lagoon to increase its
capacity, which he noted
would include some sort
of reinforcing work due
to the lagoon’s age. Both
of those options, he said,
would only delay the
problem as the lagoon
would refill in the future.
Ultimately, he said,
SUD chose a method
that will relieve pressure
on the lagoon’s capacity
going forward.
“Basically, we’ll pull
the sludge into a drier
and treat it, and put it in
bins,” he said. “Then it
can be used for fertilizer.
It’s a much more sustain-
able type process that
goes on and on.”
Kemp said the asso-
ciated upgrades to the
water treatment plant
are expected to take 18
months to two years.

the substation will help
as the city moves forward
by improving the amount

the lagoon work is a nec-

“It’s very important
that we do that to keep

ating at peak as we grow,
which we certainly are
continuing to do,” she
said. “...We are handling
the things that need to
be handled in a timely
fashion. That, I think, is

of this particular board
and its administration.”

programming.
“The program is intended to help
ensure that all of our students meet
the academic standards set by the
state,” Smith told a packed house
of more than 150 parents, faculty
and students. “We will be success-
ful, but in order for that to happen,
we need to have a partnership with
you, the parents.”
Parent University is a series of
monthly meetings for each school
which parents can attend to learn
more about issues affecting the stu-
dents from those schools.
CMSD Superintendent Cherie
Labat said Parent University was a
program she used as principal in
the Bay-St. Louis Waveland School
District.
“It’s an effective way to discuss
data points and information with
parents and disperse information,”
Labat told The Dispatch in a phone
interview, although she was un-
able to attend Tuesday’s meeting.
“Dr. Smith has done a great job of
getting our ... principals in mind
of understanding the importance
of parent involvement, as a federal
programs director.”
At Tuesday’s meeting, school
counselors introduced themselves
and played games with the students
and parents that introduced some
of the issues they’ll discuss at Par-
ent University sessions. Columbus
High School counselors quizzed
the audience on everything from
scholarships to taking the ACT and
other requirements for graduation.
The counselors from the elementa-
ry schools focused more on the im-
portance of reading with children
and encouraged parents to keep
students at five absences or fewer
per year.
It’s not just the parents who
benefit from these meetings, both
Smith and Labat said. Parental in-
volvement is a surefire way to in-
crease achievement for individual
students.
“It’s necessary, it’s required
and it’s imperative that you are in-
volved,” Smith told parents at Tues-
day’s meeting.
Family involvement in children’s

education improves student morale,
increases grade point averages, re-
sults in better attendance and less
retention and improves behavior at
school and home, Smith said, while
also increasing the chances stu-
dents will enroll in more academi-
cally challenging programs.
The first Parent University
meeting will be Oct. 16, though
Smith said the times will depend on
which school the parents’ children
attend. She said the administration
released a survey to parents asking
them the best times for a meeting.
Parents who attend at least six
sessions from October to April will
qualify for a “Parent Graduation” in
May, which she said is basically a
celebration of parents and students
at the end of the school year.
Labat said for parents who can’t
attend the meetings, there will be
other ways for the district to en-
gage them. She has visited commu-
nity housing projects and plans to
visit churches, community centers
and even assisted living facilities to
make sure she’s meeting parents
where they are to discuss the im-
portance of student achievement
with them.
“We want them to have a positive
interaction with us,” Labat said. “I
know that Andrea’s energetic and
intelligent and parents appreciate
getting the information they need
so they can make better decisions
for their children.”
Title I
Smith also went over Title I, a
federal program which funds initia-
tives at schools with at least 40 per-
cent free or reduced lunch.
At CMSD, 100 percent of stu-
dents this year receive free or re-
duced lunch. The district receives
almost $3.3 million in Title I funds.
Smith said those funds help
pay for district programs such as
i-Ready, a student assessment that
helps gauge what academic levels
students have already achieved and
helps set goals for improvement.
“(It helps teachers) create a plan
for them to make sure that they
continue to advance throughout the
year,” Smith said. “It’s a phenome-
nal program.”
The funds also pay for bench-
mark assessments which students
take at the end of each nine weeks
to gauge how they’re improving
throughout the year as well as read-
ing programs, leadership programs
for students and other initiatives.
The programs all have the over-
arching aim of increasing student
achievement, Smith said, which is
why it’s important parents under-
stand those programs.
Smith said the district is already
seeing improvement in parental
involvement. She said 150 parents
showed up at a parent-teacher
meeting night earlier this year, and
Assistant Superintendent Craig
Shannon, who attended Tuesday’s
meeting, said this year’s Title I
meeting had a larger turnout than
any previous year he remembered.
He said he’d never had to put out
more chairs at those meetings be-
fore.
“We’ve had this many times,” he
said. “We’ve never had this kind of
participation.”

Our View

CMSD program a good step in improving parent participation

When schools struggle,
there are always a variety of
factors presented to explain
the problem – everything from
funding to poor leadership to
poverty to the breakdown of
society, depending on who you
listen to.
But there is always one
factor that rarely is disputed: A
lack of parental involvement.
When a child’s education
relies entirely on the time he or
she spends in the classroom,
that child’s potential is limited.
There is no doubt that a child’s
success in school relies in no
small part to having an home
environment conducive to
learning. That means children
are well-rested and well-fed
and ready to learn when they
arrive at school. It means chil-
dren are exposed to reading
and learning at home. It means
they have a quiet place to study
and a time set aside for it. It
means having a parent who is
aware, involved and invested in
the child’s education.
When those elements are
absent, the educational process
is seriously compromised.
We recognize that when a
child succeeds, she doesn’t not
succeed on her own. That is
also true when a child fails.
Knowing that, there is a
temptation, at least in some
quarters, to take a fatalistic
view. When a child lacks that
parental support, there is noth-
ing much that can be done.
But we should never be
satisfied with that conclusion.
We may blame the parents,
but it is the innocent child who
suffers the consequences. We
must never accept that without
some effort to intercede on the
child’s behalf.
We must do what we can,
when we can, for as many as
we can.
Tuesday, at the Columbus
Municipal School District’s
regular meeting, Superinten-
dent Cherie Labat outlined her
plans to address this issue. It
is called Parent University, a
national program geared to
help parents learn how they
can support their children’s
education.
The goal of Parent Univer-
sity is to increase parental
involvement in the schools
and empower parents to raise
children who are successful in
school, and in life. Workshops
are held in schools, public
libraries, YMCAs, houses of
worship, businesses and other
community locations. Work-
shops range from topics like
Helping Your Child Prepare for
the End-of-Grade and End-of-
Course Tests, to Preparing
for Kindergarten, Middle and
High School, to Surviving Ado-
lescence. More than 70 course
topics are available for families.
The program itself suggests
something that is rarely consid-
ered when the subject of paren-
tal involvement is concerned:
It may not simply be a matter
of parents being unwilling to
provide their children with the
kind of support they need: It
may also be a matter of parents
not knowing how to do that.
Today’s educational process
can be complicated. Curricu-
lum, teaching methods, even
the language of education, can
be confusing even for well-in-
tentioned parents. Knowing
how to engage with educators,
how to evaluate their child’s
progress, how to recognize
when their children are strug-
gling with concepts are not
something that always comes
naturally.
Teachers and staff are con-
tinuously involved in develop-
ment programs needed to be
effective in their roles. That
parents might need that sort
of help as well should not be
surprising.
There will always be a
segment of parents who do not
accept their share of responsi-
bility.
But there are others for
whom the will is present, but
not the information they need.
Parent University is a far
better alternative that simply
throwing up our hands in
frustration.
We believe it is a positive
approach to a critical problem.

minor, moderate, severe

“I’m not quite sure what
the standard is across the
country, but that’s some-
thing every program I’ve
been with has modeled,”
Moorhead said. “You
come in Sunday, watch
the tape, do individual and
team (meetings) making
corrections from the pre-
vious game, then you do
a little bit of introduction
for the upcoming oppo-
nent. It gives the coaches
an entire day (Monday) to
game plan, get the offense,
defense, and special teams
stuff ready for when the
kids come in Tuesday.
“What I like about it is,
you meet, watch the film,
you make the corrections
and midway through prac-
tice, you put closure on that
game. What you said about
compartmentalizing, mak-
ing the corrections, fixing
what needs to be addressed
and moving forward, I think
that’s a good observation.”
Arkansas, Auburn, Ole
Miss, Missouri, South
Carolina, and Vanderbilt
also use Monday as their
NCAA-mandated off day,
which allows them to use
Sunday as a day to prepare.
Teams have to declare
that off day ahead of time
thanks to a new rule re-
quiring players receive one
entire day off from athletic
activities. MSU lists open
hours for the training room
and weight room for those
who come voluntarily, but
no meetings or practice ac-
tivity is allowed.
Tight ends coach Mark
Hudspeth — who ran Sun-
day practices when he was
coach at Louisiana-Lafay-
ette — believes in them for
another reason: He likes
Monday to be a school day
for the players, where they
can go to class and meet
with tutors with no football
obligations.
There are football bene-
fits, too.
“I don’t like to not be
with my team until Mon-
day after a Saturday game.
I want to put that game to
bed,” Hudspeth said. “We
want to put that game to
bed and move on; what you
don’t want to do, to me, is
wait until Monday to ad-
dress the team about what
happened. Put that game
behind you within 24 hours
and you can look forward to
the next opponent.”
There is a physical
component to the idea of
practicing Sunday. With-
out a day’s rest following
the game, Hudspeth said
the Sunday practice is hel-
mets only and gives players
a chance to work out some
soreness. There is also the
benefit of extra condition-
ing for players who didn’t
play in the previous game.
The new practice sched-
ule is an adjustment for
players who haven’t done
it in a few years, but the re-
sults speak for themselves.
“I liked the Monday
schedule better, but it’s
working for us so I don’t
have any complaints,” quar-
terback Nick Fitzgerald
said. “Whatever the coach-
es think will work best for
us and the best for them
to have time to game plan,
that’s what we were going
to do.”
Said wide receiver Ded-
drick Thomas, “It’s nice to
have because coming off
the game it’s fresh on your
mind, fresh on the coaches’
minds. It’s more mental
and visualizing, going back
to things you could have
done, your mistakes.
“It’s touching up on ev-
erything and getting fresh
with what’s coming up.”
Fitzgerald named
Manning Award Star of
the Week
NEW ORLEANS —
After making a statement
in his return game at Da-
vis Wade Stadium, senior
Nick Fitzgerald was one of
eight quarterbacks select-
ed Tuesday as a Manning
Award Star of the Week, the
organization announced.
Fans can visit the All-
state Sugar Bowl Facebook
page to vote for Fitzgerald.
Voting closes at 11 a.m.
Thursday. The top vote-get-
ter will be announced as
the Manning Award Quar-
terback of the Week.
Fitzgerald accounted for
six touchdowns — one shy
of his Southeastern Confer-
ence and school record —
to go along with 250 yards
of total offense in then-No.
16 MSU’s 56-10 victory
against Louisiana-Lafay-
ette. The Richmond Hill,
Georgia, native became
the first SEC player to re-
cord at least four rushing
touchdowns, two passing
touchdowns and 100 yards
rushing in the same game
since he did it two seasons
ago against Arkansas on
Nov. 19, 2016.
Rushing for more than
100 yards for the sec-
ond-straight game, Fitzger-
ald became the first SEC
player to record four rush-
ing scores in a game since
Auburn’s Kerryon Johnson
had five against Missouri
on Sept. 23, 2017. Fitzger-
ald also joined Auburn’s
Peyton Barber and Tre Ma-
son as the only SEC players
in the last 20 seasons with
multiple games of four
touchdowns rushing.
Fitzgerald also was 14-
for-21 for 243 yards and
two touchdowns.

In Starkville, the task appears
much easier for an MHSAA Class
6A, Region 2 championship.
Coach Chris Jones’ squad is 4-0
after non-region wins against Nox-
ubee County, Oxford, West Point,
and Columbus.
You have to like the growth and
maturity of sophomore quarterback
Luke Altmyer, the running ability
of senior running back Rodrigues
Clark, and the sheer dominance of
the best front four in Class 6A ball.
Starkville will open its region
slate Friday when it plays host to
Provine.
“The confidence level is high on
this team,” Jones said. “They have
done everything we have asked
to start a solid season. The disap-
pointment of last season (finishing
second in the state) has been the
driving force. It’s a group that
wants to finish business.”
Clark has run for 488 yards
and nine touchdowns. Altmyer
has thrown for 698 yards and six
touchdowns.
This region race may be a little
more difficult to handicap.
Starkville and Clinton are 4-0,
while Northwest Rankin and Mad-
ison Central are 3-1. Those are the
usual participants when it comes
time to break down the playoff
teams from this region.
Starkville is the clear No. 1 team
in the state. Barring injury, the
Yellow Jackets should roll to the
region crown.
In the MHSAA Class 5A, Region
1 race, the big showdown is Friday.
West Point (3-1) will play host
to Lafayette (3-1) in a matchup
of teams favored to battle for the
region crown.
Olive Branch (4-0) figures to
make a run at a first-round playoff
game at home from this region as
well.
A year ago, the marquee show-
down was between West Point and
Olive Branch. The teams met again
in the postseason, with West Point
winning big both times.
The Green Wave’s defense
appears to be the best in Class 5A.
Tyler Rupert and Ryan Melton are
starting blocks for a great defense.
That duo has a lot of help on that
side of the ball.
On offense, it is a typical West
Point team. Coach Chris Chamb-
less’ preference is to run the ball.
Thirteen of 17 touchdowns have
come on the ground.
In a 41-0 rout of Noxubee Coun-
ty last Friday, West Point shook
off any side effects from a loss
to Starkville. That victory by the
Yellow Jackets snapped the Green
Wave’s 30-game winning streak.
“The attitude has been great,”
West Point coach Chris Chambless
said. “For the seniors, the past
two (state) championships are not
a factor. They want to leave their
own mark.”
West Point will carry a 20-game
region winning streak into the
game against Lafayette.

Sharp
Continued from Page 1B
In the 50-0 victo-
ry against then-No. 13
Hinds, EMCC scored on
its first two offensive pos-
sessions and added a safe-
ty for a 23-0 lead less than
10 minutes into the game.
After gaining valuable
playing time a year ago,
the 6-foot-4, 310-pound
Sharp, a former standout
at Columbus High School,
is starting at right tackle.
He is joined on the line by
former Starkville High
sophomore Jakoby Jones
at left tackle, sophomore
Matt Toles at left guard,
former Starkville High
sophomore Connor Rein-
ike at center, and fresh-
man right guard Baylee
Trusty at right guard.
“A lot of experience
along the offensive line,”
Stephens said. “It’s real-
ly one of the spots on the
field where you really that
experience. The line has
to play as one, so the com-
munication between them
is critical. We have been
able to run the ball with
authority because of good
backs but also because of
the experience and chem-
istry of the line.”
During its two-year
absence from the nation-
al championship game
(2015 and 2016), ineffec-
tive line play was a con-
cern. Great attention to
detail has been spent to
improve the offensive and
defensive lines.
“Being a second-year
player in the league gives
you a huge advantage,”
Sharp said. “A lot of play-
ers need a little time to
adapt to the game on
this level. This line has
played together for quite
some time. We do a great
job of picking each other
up. When you are in the
trenches, you have to be-
lieve in your brother.
“We have a lot of re-
spect for each other and
get along great. That
makes things so much
better on game night.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
19). This solar return, the
excitement will be tinged in
glamour. More highlights this
year: You’ll see the value in a
discarded thing and take that
insight to the bank. Someone
younger will idolize you; this is
a chance to make a remark-
able difference in the world.
And a debt will finally be repaid
at the end of 2018. Aquarius
and Cancer adore you. Your
BABY BLUES lucky numbers are: 9, 7, 27,

ARIES (March 21-April

complished whether you hurry
or not. If you doubt it, look to
nature, which happens in its
own time. The bee doesn’t
complain that one flower

hasn’t bloomed yet; it goes
where the blossom is open.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). When what you want
turns out to be impractical, the
answer is not to accept defeat
but rather to think bigger,
stranger and bolder. Jupiter
will favor those crazy enough
to pursue a dream.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Other worlds are projected in
glorious golden light on the
movie screen of the mind,
though beware; foreign places
that seem charged with the
magic of possibility may pro-
vide less promise than what
you have back home.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You’ve been nice, sport-
ing and polite. But now it’s
time to really go for what you
want. Be assertive so the less
qualified can be respectfully
eliminated from the game,
free to pursue more fitting
positions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
truth isn’t yours to determine
or discover today, so you don’t
even have to worry about it. To
serve the well-being of all, fo-
cus instead on what is helpful
or useful and what isn’t.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Status quo may seem fine, but
it won’t be next week. Start
looking for ways to expand
your horizons. Professional
organizations, classes and
online research are favored.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Once you put in the mirror
time, dress appropriately and
check in with your heart to
make sure you’re coming from
the right place, you’ll proceed
without worrying what people
think about you. That is why
they like you so much.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Many care. Fewer turn
this into an action. You are
ultimately the one who will
be nurtured by your nurturing
efforts. Jump in and involve
yourself where it seems you
have much to contribute.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Among the treasure
trove of insights by the great
thinker Aristotle is the one in
which he suggests that excel-
lence is a habit. You know this
instinctively, which is why you
won’t let the little things slide
today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Not so easily impressed,
you’re extremely selective
about whom you like and
follow. It takes an exceptional
individual to inspire you, and
you’ll encounter such an influ-
ence today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). It’s safe to allow yourself
to be seduced by the wonder
of distances. Indeed, such an
urge to explore has often been
the savior of mankind.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). The attitude you bring to
what you do definitely changes
your feelings about the work,
but not only yours. It’s also
a part of the experience of
others, which will be well
demonstrated this afternoon.

hris Lytle knows his way
around a grill. Born and
raised in Columbus, he’s
been barbecuing competitively
for years. In early 2018, however,

he added another challenge to his
plate — turning out perfect medi-
um-rare rib-eyes at Steak Cookoff
Association (SCA) contests. His
brunch delight
efforts Saturday at the Alcorn BY AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
County Steak Cookoff in Corinth

garnered a Golden Ticket to the
2018 SCA World Championship in
Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 4-7. The
first-place winner there will bring
home $10,000. Corinth was only
Lytle’s fourth steak competition.
For the Vernon, Alabama-resi-
dent who works in Columbus, it’s a
goal he intended to accomplish —
next year.
“I’d told everybody that this year
I’m playing, studying and practic-
ing — and next year I’ll be in Fort
Worth at the World Championship,”
the 36-year-old said. The Golden
Ticket fast forwards everything.
“Oh, yes ma’am, we’re gong
to be there!” said the enthused
competitor, one of only 200 invited
to participate. “I’ve already regis-
tered and booked my hotel room.
... I think I read that there’ll be
contestants from eight different
countries.”
But first
Lytle has some barbecuing to do
before he loads up his steak-cook-
ing Weber charcoal grill for Texas
in two weeks. First, his 180 Proof
BBQ Team will compete in the
Roast ’n’ Boast Mississippi State
BBQ Championship this Friday and
Saturday at the Columbus Fair-
grounds. (He’s even developed his
own 180 Proof BBQ Sauce, which
he’s bottling and beginning to mar-
ket.) The contest requires a com-
mitment of several days. Teams will
begin setting up Thursday for the
long cook required for barbecue
worthy of the judges.
Steak contests, on the other
hand, are one-day events. For a
guy accustomed to devoting entire
weekends to some competitions,
the shorter format makes a nice
break.
“Barbecue can be a three-day
affair, whereas with steaks, Satur-
day we left the house at 7:30 a.m.
and I got home right after Alabama
scored their first touchdown, so I
was able to watch almost the whole
game,” Lytle said with a laugh.
His longtime girlfriend, Trish
Chris Lytle holds the Steak Cookoff Association Golden Ticket he was
awarded Saturday at the Alcorn County Steak Cookoff in Corinth. It sends
him to the SCA World Championship in Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 4-7. Lytle
also will compete this weekend at the Roast ’n’ Boast Mississippi State
BBQ Championship in Columbus. Lytle, who works in Columbus, currently
resides in Vernon, Alabama.
Rowe, confirmed it. “That’s the
grand thing about the steaks: You
take your grill, your tent and sea-
soning, your cooler and chairs. We
get up that morning, we get there,
sign in, get our steaks, and by 4
p.m. we’re ready for awards.”
Steak contests are double blind-

also offers ancillary categories for
foods from ribs and pork chops to
chili, jambalaya and frog legs.
It was actually Rowe who lit the
steak contest fire. It happened as
the couple traveled to Tennessee
for an earlier barbecue cooking
competition.
“He was this big barbecue
competitor, and we were headed up
Courtesy photo
to the contest and stopped by some
friends’ where some guys were
going over (cooking) for a steak
contest. I said, ‘I want to do that,’
and they showed me everything,”
she said. “We got into it, and from
that moment on, we’ve been going.”
Rowe, in fact, also entered Sat-
urday’s steak contest in Corinth,
separately from Lytle.
Lytle and Rowe were already
geared up for this weekend’s Roast
’n’ Boast, but Saturday’s Golden
Ticket to the World Championship
of steaks filled their calendars into
October in short order. But Lytle is
eager for it.
“I love cooking everything!” he
said.
T
hese scones are a flaky, hon-
ey-glazed brunch delight,
brimming with juicy, sweet
berries in a buttery, rich crumb.
We achieved a perfectly crumbly
texture by incorporating butter in
two ways, processing some with
flour, sugar, baking powder and
salt for even distribution, then
pulsing more into pea-size pieces
to achieve rich buttery pockets.
Tossing frozen berries in
confectioners’ sugar before fold-
ing them into the flour mixture
prevented them from bleeding
into the dough, and a honey-butter
glaze, brushed on partway through
baking, gave the scones a sweet
sheen. Work the dough as little as
possible, just until it comes togeth-
er. Work quickly to keep the butter
and berries as cold as possible for
the best results.
Note that the butter is divided
in this recipe. An equal amount of
frozen blueberries, raspberries,
blackberries, or strawberries
(halved) can be used in place of
the mixed berries.
MIXED BERRY SCONES
Servings: 8
Start to finish: 1 hour
For the scones:
8 3/4 ounces (1 3/4 cups) frozen mixed
berries
3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
3 cups (15 ounces) all-purpose flour
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into
1/2 inch pieces, chilled
1/3 cup (2 1/3 ounces) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
1 large egg plus 1 large yolk
For the glaze:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
n For the scones: Adjust oven rack to
upper-middle position and heat oven to
425 F. Line rimmed baking sheet with
parchment paper. If your berry mix con-
tains strawberries, cut them in half. Toss
berries with confectioners’ sugar in bowl;
freeze until needed.

granulated sugar, baking powder and
salt in food processor and process until
butter is fully incorporated, about 15
seconds. Add remaining 6 tablespoons

A chicken that’s tender and juicy, thanks to a beer can

BY ELIZABETH K ARMEL that I needed to revisit beer- make beer-can chicken, you
The Associated Press can chicken. It is my go-to will always be able to make a

A
few weeks ago, a new
friend of mine asked me
to make beer-can chick-
en. He had never had it before
and had always wanted to try
it. At first, I was surprised
because — to me — beer-can
chicken is as common as a pea-
nut butter and jelly sandwich.
But then, I posed the question
to the other people invited to
dinner, and none of them had
ever made beer-can chicken.
And only one of them had
tasted it before because he had
it at my house!
That was when I realized
main course and my comfort
food. It never fails to satisfy.
The skin is crispy and bur-
nished by the convected heat
of the grill. But that’s not all —
the chicken is tender, juicy and
has a slightly smoky but pure
chicken flavor that is accentu-
ated by the steamed beer.
I make it almost once a
week in the fall and winter.
What I serve with it varies
based on what’s in season, but
my favorite back-pocket meal
is beer-can chicken, grilled
asparagus, sweet potatoes and
cornbread. If you know how to
great grilled meal for your-
self, and/or your friends and

The key to beer-can chick-

Cooking on deadline: Parsnip and golden beet soup

W
ith the arrival of fall,
my produce thoughts
start moving from
things that grow above the
ground to things that grow
under it. Yes, my fellow seasonal
cooks, root vegetable season is
heading our way.
I always feel a little like a
homesteader when I cook with
root vegetables. I think of 19th
century families setting up
homes out West, filling their
root cellars with all kinds of
tubers, readying themselves for
the cold winter ahead. I sum-
mon up my best Laura Ingalls
Wilder self as I contemplate the
piles of knobby, bumpy, often
dirty vegetables, knowing that
this is what the vegetal land-
scape is mostly made of until
spring.
Ok, I’m clearly over-channel-
ing here, but there is something
about the humble sturdiness of
Cheyenne Cohen via AP
Parsnip and golden beet soup
can be made into a vegetarian
soup if you use vegetable broth.
a root vegetable that can be very
pleasing, and even inspiring.
First stop — soup! This
yellow beets and parsnips. You
could also use red beets and
make this into a pinkish-orange
soup — which would be just
gorgeous, too. And you could
use carrots instead of the pars-
nips, which will make the soup
a more orangey yellow. In short,
the colors of the root vegetables
you choose will dictate the tint
of your soup.
You can definitely leave out
the cream if you don’t want it,
and a little squirt of hot sauce
is a brilliant addition at the end
(but not too much — no point
in overpowering the delicate
sweetness of the vegetables).
Another great way to cook
beets is in the oven, especially
if your oven is already cranking
for another reason. Preheat the
oven to 400 F. Trim the tops and
roots from the beets, give them
a scrub, and then wrap them
in foil. Place the foil-wrapped
beets in a baking dish and bake
a knife slips into the beet easily,
it’s done.
And note that using vegeta-
ble broth gives you a vegetarian
soup.
PARSNIP AND GOLDEN
BEET SOUP
Servings: 4
Start to finish: 1 hour, 20 minutes
1 1/2 pounds (about 4) golden
beets
1/2 pound (about 4) parsnips,
peeled and sliced
4 cups low-sodium vegetable or
chicken broth, or more as needed
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus
more for serving
1/2 cup heavy cream, light cream or
half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground pep-
per to taste
■ Trim the tops and roots from the
beets, and wash them thoroughly,
using a brush if you have one. Place
the beets in a saucepan and add
cold water to cover.
■ Cover the pot and bring to a sim-
until a sharp knife slides easily into
them. Drain the beets and allow
them to cool (you can also submerge
them in cold water to speed the
process). When the beets are cool
enough to handle, peel off the skin
and cut the beets into chunks.
■ Meanwhile, combine the parsnips
with 4 cups broth in a pot and bring
to a simmer over medium high heat.
Cover the pot, lower the heat to
medium-low, and simmer for about
30 minutes until the parsnips are
very tender. Remove the parsnips
with a slotted spoon and place them
in a food processor or blender with
the cooked beets and 1 teaspoon
thyme. Add about 1/2 cup of the
cooking broth and puree together un-
til smooth. Stir the vegetable puree
back into the pot with the remaining
broth.
■ Return the soup to the pot over
medium-low heat, stir in the cream,
and season with salt and pepper.
Add more broth if the soup is too
thick. Stir for 1 minute to allow the
cream to warm through, taste and
adjust seasonings as needed. Serve
warm in bowls with a few thyme
leaves sprinkled over the top.

Direct, indirect
There are two major
grilling methods and they
can be defined this way:
n Direct grilling
means that you put the
food directly over the
heat source, similar to
broiling in your oven.
n Indirect grilling
means that the heat is
on either side of the
food and the burners are
turned off under the food,
similar to roasting and
baking.
My general rule of
thumb is:
n If the food takes less
than 20 minutes to cook,
use the direct method.
n If the food takes
more than 20 minutes
to cook, use the indirect
method.
Once you’ve mastered
cooking by direct and in-
direct heat, you are ready
for the combo method. It
is exactly what it sounds
like. A combination of
the direct and indirect
methods. It is as simple
as searing the food over
direct heat and finishing
(cooking) over indirect
heat.
This technique works
well for everything from
chops and steaks to
whole tenderloins and
even slices of denser
vegetables such as sweet
potatoes. It is a time hon-
ored and well-respected
tradition and the outdoor
grill version of the way
most restaurants chefs
cook almost everything,
searing on the stovetop
and finishing the dish in
the oven.
Now that you know the
difference between direct
and indirect cooking and
how to use it, you are
ready to make beer-can
chicken. I guarantee that
if you make it once, you’ll
make it over and over
again and it will become
an instant family favorite.
A porcelain chicken
sitter makes the cooking
a little easier because
it has a flat bottom that
can’t tip over as the chick-
en cooks. If you use a
beer-can, you must make
sure that the legs of the
chicken are positioned in
front, like a tripod to sta-
bilize the chicken and the
can. If you prefer a classic
roasted chicken flavor,
use only kosher salt and
black pepper to season
the chicken. If you want
it to have a “barbecued”
flavor, use your favorite
dry rub.
ORIGINAL BEER-CAN
CHICKEN
Start to finish: 1 hour, 45
minutes
Grilling Method: Indirect/Me-
dium Heat
Servings: 4
1 whole roasting chicken, 4-5
pounds
Olive oil
1 tablespoon favorite dry rub
or kosher salt and freshly
ground black pepper
1 12-ounce can favorite beer
n Remove the neck and
giblets, and rinse the chicken
inside and out if desired; pat
dry with paper towels. Coat
chicken lightly with olive oil
and season with a tablespoon
of the dry rub. Set aside.
n Preheat grill. Fill the Chick-
en Sitter with the can of beer,
or open a beer can, pour out
about 1/4 cup of the beer, and
make an extra hole in the top
of the can with a church-key
can opener.
n If using a dry rub instead
of salt and pepper, sprinkle
about a tablespoon inside the
Chicken Sitter or beer can.
Place chicken sitter or beer
can in the center of the cook-
ing grate over indirect medium
heat and “sit” the chicken
on top of the beer can. The
chicken will appear to be
sitting on the grate. Make sure
the legs of the chicken are in
front of the Sitter or the beer
can to support the chicken as
it cooks.
n Cover and cook the
chicken for 1 to 1 1/2 hours,
depending on size, or until the
internal temperature registers
165 F in the breast area and
180 F in the thigh. When
removing chicken from the
grate, be careful not to spill
the contents, as it will be very
hot. Remove it carefully to a
platter, holding the Sitter or
beer can with tongs. I use
tongs and a clean dry kitchen
towel to keep the chicken from
toppling over.
Let it rest for 10 minutes
before carving.

butter and pulse until butter is
reduced to pea-size pieces, 10
to 12 pulses. Transfer mixture
to large bowl. Stir in berries.
n Beat milk and egg and
yolk together in separate
bowl. Make well in center of
flour mixture and pour in milk
mixture. Using rubber spatula,
gently stir mixture, scraping
from edges of bowl and folding
inward until very shaggy dough
forms and some bits of flour
remain. Do not overmix.
n Turn out dough onto well-
floured counter and, if neces-
sary, knead briefly until dough
just comes together, about
3 turns. Using your floured
hands and bench scraper,
shape dough into 12 by 4 inch
rectangle, about 1 1/2 inches
tall. Using knife or bench
scraper, cut dough crosswise
into 4 equal rectangles. Cut
each rectangle diagonally into
2 triangles (you should have 8
scones total). Transfer scones
to prepared sheet. Bake until
scones are lightly golden on
top, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating
pan halfway through baking.
n For the glaze: While scones
bake, combine melted butter
and honey in small bowl.
n Remove scones from oven
and brush tops evenly with
glaze mixture. Return scones
to oven and continue to bake
until golden brown on top, 5
to 8 minutes longer. Transfer
scones to wire rack and let
cool for at least 10 minutes
before serving.
n To make ahead: Unbaked
scones can be frozen for
several weeks. After cutting
scones into triangles in step
4, freeze them on baking
sheet. Transfer frozen scones
to zipper-lock freezer bag.
When ready to bake, heat
oven to 375 F and extend
cooking time in step 4 to 23
to 26 minutes. Glaze time in
step 6 will remain at 5 to 8
minutes.
