Getting stolen firearms off the street

Area law enforcement agencies promote prevention, up enforcement
efforts to crack down on people obtaining firearms illegally
By Isabelle Altman
ialtman@cdispatch.com

A man walks through a neigh-

borhood or parking lot, tugging
on vehicle door handles until he
finds one unlocked.
When he opens the door,
there’s a handgun in plain view
on the passenger seat. The bur-
glar takes it, along with some
other unsecured valuables, and Shelton
leaves the area.
Columbus Police Chief Fred
Shelton says that’s happening
all over the city — and worse, he
said, it could be one way minors,
convicted felons and others legal-
ly barred from owning a firearm
are getting their hands on them.
In Starkville, where the stu- Lovelady
dent population translates into densely-packed
parking lots, the same thing is happening,
Starkville Police Department’s Public Informa-
tion Officer Brandon Lovelady said.
“I don’t want to lock it down to the only way,
but ... auto burglaries are a major contributor
(to stolen firearms),” Lovelady said.
Since the beginning of the year, there have
been 22 reports to Columbus Police Depart-
ment of stolen firearms. In Starkville, there
have been 50.
CPD has recently been cracking down on
stolen weapons, with officers setting up check-
points at different locations around the city
for the last four weekends. There haven’t nec-
essarily been an unusual number of weapons
reported stolen, Shelton said, but city investi-
gators hope by cracking down — and advising
gun owners on how to protect their weapons
— they can reduce violent crimes through the
city.
“The majority of the people we deal with
who commit crimes, they are not in possession
of a weapon legally,” he said.

Castleberry said.
The shopping center
would be built in a couple
years after Garan Manu-
facturing, the current oc-
cupant of the intersection,
builds and moves into a
new location at the North
Star Industrial Park near
Highways 82 and 389.
An ongoing civil law-
suit has challenged part of
the rezoning of the park’s
property from commer-
cial to manufacturing, but
Garan is relocating to an
area outside the scope of
the suit, so the outcome
will not interfere with the
relocation, both Castle-
berry and Mayor Lynn
Spruill said.
Under the TIF, Cas-
tleberry must build the
development and show
at least a year of sales
tax performance before
the city would issue the
bonds, Spruill said, a pro-
cess that would take at
least three years. Once
the bonds are issued, half
the sales tax and all the

center would go toward
the bonds until they are

The TIF bonds would
only reimburse Castle
Properties for costs asso-
ciated with infrastructure
such as roads, parking
lots, sidewalks, storm wa-
ter mitigation, water and
sewer at the site. It would
not refund the costs of the
actual retail buildings.
Aldermen did not have
a quorum and therefore
was unable to vote on the
TIF during a July 18 joint
session with the Oktibbe-
ha County Board of Su-
pervisors and the Oktib-
beha County Economic
Development Authority.
The county approved the
TIF, but city approval is
necessary for it to go for-

Starkville’s history

Spruill said she is “ex-
tremely supportive” of the
TIF and the project.
“I think it’s well-need-
ed in an area that is likely
not to develop anytime in
the near future,” she said.
“… I’m a big believer in
TIFs if the numbers are
right, and I believe the
purpose for TIFs is rede-
velopment, which is what
this is.”
But Ward 5 Alderman
Hamp Beatty takes issue
with the job creation as-
pect of the pro-TIF argu-
ment. Industrial jobs like
the ones at Garan provide
living wages and benefits,

many live down the road
from the Peco plant.
O’Rourke later told re-
porters that several immi-
grants said both they and
their spouses work at the
plant — one on day shift
and one on night shift so
someone is always home
to take care of their chil-
dren because their pay
is too low to afford child
care.
Asked why he thinks
the workplace raids took
place in Mississippi, O’Ro-
urke said: “I don’t know,
other than to strike terror
into the heart of this com-

community likes to say, ‘I’m homophobic.’”
South Carolina’s African Methodist Episcopal Church pastor Joe Darby
By MEG KINNARD
The Associated Press
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Joe Dar-
by, a South Carolina pastor in the Af-
rican Methodist Episcopal Church,
pondered a sensitive question that
he knew was on the mind of his con-
gregation. Would black voters be
able to reconcile their conservative
religious doctrine with voting for a
gay candidate for president?
“It’s a heavy lift in the black
church,” says Darby, who is also a
Charleston-area NAACP leader.
“Just as nobody who is racist likes to
say, ‘I’m a racist,’ nobody who is ho-
mophobic in the black community
likes to say, ‘I’m homophobic.’”
In South Carolina, the first
state with a predominantly African
American electorate, part of the dia-
logue focuses on a conflict between
a cultural openness for same-sex
marriage and the deeply held reli-
gious convictions that could impede
support for the 2020 race’s only gay
candidate — Pete Buttigieg, the
mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
The historically diverse field of
Democratic presidential hopefuls

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential can-
didates will descend on Iowa next week to do some-
thing that Native Americans say doesn’t happen
enough: court their vote.
At least seven White House hopefuls have said
they’ll attend a forum in Sioux City on Monday and
Tuesday named for longtime Native American activ-
ist Frank LaMere, who died in June. Tribal leaders
and citizens will talk with candidates about issues in-
cluding health care, education and violence against
National American women.
Several candidates attending the forum, includ-
ing Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Julian Castro
and Marianne Williamson, have issued platforms
dedicated to the needs of indigenous people. Marcel-
la LeBeau, a 99-year-old registered Democrat and a
citizen of the Two Kettles Band of the Lakota, said
that’s a change from the past when politicians largely
overlooked Native American issues.
“We’re like a third-world country,” she said. “No
one really listens to us.”
Many Native Americans live in “hard-to-count”
rural areas and are not reflected in the U.S. Census
Bureau’s Current Population Survey, so the census
cannot accurately measure their voter registration as
it would for black, white, Asian and Hispanic citizens.

the program, the school districts
select students to receive the meals
through teacher recommendations,
and the churches collect, pack and
send the food to the schools. Then
on Fridays, school leaders make
sure there is a little bit of food in the
selected students’ backpacks before
they go home. While it may be hard
for some to imagine, food insecurity
is a major issue for many households
across Mississippi, and these ef-

In the fullness of August What Hong Kong means

The protests in Hong Kong are
heartbreaking to witness. I recall
the gloom that accompanied the
handover of sovereignty ceremony
in 1997. Prince Charles was there.
So was Tony Blair. Only eight years
had passed since the communist
Chinese government had mowed
down an estimated 10,000 democ-
racy demonstrators in and around
Tiananmen Square. And while
China had since begun to liberalize
its economy, the communist party Mona Charen
maintained its totalitarian grip on
political power, news and informa-
tion, travel, family life, religion and the arts.
As the band played “God Save the Queen” for the last
time, there were the usual soothing promises. According to
the Sino-British Joint Declaration, dubbed “one country, two
systems,” Beijing pledged that Hong Kong would continue to
enjoy the economic and political liberties it had known under
British rule for 50 years. Hong Kong would remain free until
at least 2047. Many imagined that by then, the communist
government in Beijing would be gone.
The British administration had allowed Hong Kong to
become one of the richest cities in the world. In 1997, Hong
Kong’s 6.4 million people were responsible for an economy
Birney Imes/Dispatch Staff that was one-fifth the size of mainland China’s, with a popu-

bath in a light dilution of dawn dishwashing
soap will take care of them. This is a two-per-

feet and one to apply the suds. Beware of
gnashing teeth.
On the front seat prior to three bewil-
dered kittens was a ziplok bag full of orange
mushrooms — chanterelles — I had collect-

If you have a taste for these peppery,
earthy fungi and want to buy them on line,

Better yet you can seek out the gregari-

Hitching Lot Farmers’ Market. Morgan
works with retired radiologist Charles Dalke,
a self-styled arborist, who grafts fruit trees
in his ongoing quest to find the best pears,
persimmons, figs, muscadines and peaches.
On a recent Saturday morning at the mar-
ket, Morgan was selling Asian pears, eatable
squash blossoms and, of course the golden
chanterelle, about which he ascribes near
mystical powers.
When asked about his mushroom forag-
ing, Morgan is understandably vague. “They
just be in the world,” he says. “You got a
million people looking for ‘em.
“They grow up all under your feet,” he
said. “God put ‘em here for man. They don’t
make you hallucinate they don’t do anything
but clean out your body.”
A friend calls mid-morning and begins
reading from what he says is the beginning

around Rosedale, I notice a landscape bathed
in that yellow light.
There is a melancholy to August. The end
of yet another summer is within sight. Soon
the pace of life quickens again. School starts.
Football and soccer seasons begin. The
succession of holidays will quick be upon us.
Savor the relaxed aimlessness, the lushness
of gardens going to seed; the homegrown
offerings of farmers’ markets. In no time the
summer of ’19 will be a memory.

When someone disparages Columbus, I

there are unsung people doing good, if not

As program director of the Columbus
Arts Council, Bev booked musicians and

Columbus a second thought were it not for
Bev’s kindness, enthusiasm and ability to
make visiting performers feel like royalty.
That kindness and devotion wasn’t limit-
ed to visiting performers. Beverly was that
way to everyone, friends, patrons of the Arts
Council, strangers who walked in off the
street. She had that enviable ability to give
you her all, regardless who you were.
I can remember more than once being
at one of Bev’s events and thinking, “This
performance on this night is as good as any-
thing you’re going to see anywhere.” That’s
not hyperbole. If you were in the audience,

its plan to turn over control to China, and 1997, about a million
Hong Kong residents fled. They knew.
For a time, it seemed that China was keeping its word, but
it was only a latency period. China had a motive to let Hong
Kong prosper at first; it was a gold mine. But as the rest of Chi-
na developed economically, its sheer size made Hong Kong’s
contribution less crucial. From a high of 27% of China’s GDP
in 1993, Hong Kong had fallen to only 2.9% in 2017. Freedom
House downgraded Hong Kong’s freedom score (100 = good,
0 = bad) from 68 in 2014 to 59 in 2019, reflecting China’s
suppression of speech and civil liberties. The violence against
demonstrators these past weeks would presumably reduce the
score even more dramatically.
The protesters in the streets of Hong Kong have once again
reminded us of the power of the U.S. example — even as our
leaders seem less committed to it. Hong Kongers carried
American flags and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” This is
bittersweet. The students in Tiananmen Square in 1989 had
fashioned a paper-mache Statue of Liberty. It swelled your
heart — until the brutal conclusion chilled your blood.
To hear Donald Trump tell it, the great challenge China
represents to the United States is that they sell us too many
products and buy too few of ours. His spokespeople add that
China fails to abide by international trade rules and steals
intellectual property. Those complaints are perfectly true (the
latter two anyway), but the Trump administration’s responses
to these problems have been counterproductive.
Trump’s first supposedly “tough on China” policy was to
pull out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. But that treaty would
have disadvantaged China by strengthening U.S. trade with
Pacific partners Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand,
Malaysia, Vietnam and others. With free (or freeish) trade
agreements linking the majority of large economies around
the globe, the U.S. would have then been in a better position to
pressure China, in concert with other trading nations, to open
its economy, stop stealing intellectual property and so on.
Instead, the administration imposed tariffs not just on Chi-
na to punish it for cheating, but on our allies as well — mud-
dying the message and blunting the effect. When the United
States declares that steel tariffs on Canada are a national se-
curity matter, it becomes a laughing stock and invites equally
bad faith responses.
The challenge from China is more than merely a matter of
steel, soybeans and solar panels. China is seeking to parlay
its economic might into global influence. Its Belt and Road
Initiative is designed to place China at the center of world
commerce — on China’s terms. And its artificial intelligence
research, particularly facial recognition, is being used to im-
pose Orwellian control. China’s “social credit” system already
keeps tabs on Chinese citizens’ daily activities and reading
habits, and its exported products have been found to contain
spying capacities. Big Brother’s cameras are ubiquitous, and
everything from daily step counts to religious interests are
tracked and tabulated. As many as one million Uighurs have
been herded into reeducation camps, while Tibetans, Kazakhs
and other minorities are monitored and oppressed. China is
exporting these technological tools of tyranny to Ethiopia,
Venezuela and other repressive regimes.
Beijing has a bleak vision for the world’s future that fore-
sees economic expansion linking arms with technological
repression. The U.S. has long shouldered the role of world
leader upholding liberty. Sadly, our narrow focus on trade
balances has miniatured the United States.

Cloke. “Tour was all about how hard it was for the

And you wonder what Fountain Hughes might
make of that. “If I thought ... had any idea that I’d
ever be a slave again,” he once said, “I’d take a
gun and just end it all right away. Because you’re
nothing but a dog. You’re not a thing but a dog.”
Another tourist griped of being “subjected to a

argument to Lou Smith. The former Mississippi
slave once told of a white man who fathered sev-
eral children by a black woman he owned. “And
when her babies would get about a year or two of
age he’d sell them and it would break her heart.
She never got to keep them. When her fourth baby
was born and was about two months old she just
studied all the time about how she would have to
give it up and one day she said, ‘I just decided I’m
not going to let old Master sell this baby; he just
ain’t going to do it.’ She got up and give it some-
thing out of a bottle and pretty soon it was dead.”
“The brief mentions of the former owners were
defamatory,” one tourist complained.
And wouldn’t you pay to see her chastise Mary
Armstrong for “defaming” her owners? “You see,”
the former Missouri slave once explained, “My
mama belong to old William Cleveland and old
Polly Cleveland, and they was the meanest two
white folks what ever lived, ‘cause they was always
beatin’ on their slaves. ... [Polly] whipped my little
sister, what was only nine months old, to death.
She come and took the diaper offen my little sister
and whipped till the blood jes’ ran - jes’ ‘cause she
cry like all babies do.”
Then there’s one Jamie Hollingsworth who
wrote: “Very racist. If you’re white, don’t go.”
No, if you’re white, please do. If only so you
never sound as ignorant as Jamie Hollingsworth.
It would be disheartening at any time to be
reminded that such pusillanimous thinking still
exists. It’s particularly disheartening in August
of 2019, as we mark the 400th anniversary of the
beginning of slavery. For as much as some of us
may wish otherwise, the “peculiar institution” is
no artifact of the dead past. It shaped today. It is
shaping tomorrow. And we cannot fix that until we
face that.
Yet some people still clutch their pearls when
the very word is invoked. They need to get over it.
Rhett Butler was fiction. But Fountain Hughes,
Lou Smith and Mary Armstrong were assuredly
real. And if you’re one of those who is vexed by
that reminder?
Well frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.

Stolen firearms
Continued from Page 1A
In the case of a July 20
shooting at a Propst Park
birthday party that killed
16-year-old Arykah White,
the suspect is 17. Individu-
als under 21 cannot legally
own weapons. Neither can
those who have been con-
victed of felonies or those
awaiting trial for felony do-
mestic violence. There’s
also a federal statute say-
ing those who have been
in inpatient treatment for
a mental illness within the
last five years must have
permission from a doctor
before obtaining a weap-
on.
Shelton thinks the
weapons are being stolen
out of cars or houses and
being sold or traded on the
streets, often for drugs or
drug money.
“One thing I know
for sure,” Shelton said,
“they’re not going to
Walmart or the pawn shop
and legally buying them.”
The national numbers
A report by the Bureau
of Justice Statistics re-
leased in 2012 said there
had been 1.4 million fire-
arms stolen during bur-
glaries and other prop-
erty crimes from 2005 to
2010, an average of about
232,400 per year. While
the number of weapons
stolen had decreased
significantly since the
early 1990s, (there were
283,600 firearms stolen
during property crimes
in 1994), about 80 percent
of the stolen weapons still
hadn’t been recovered
when the report was re-
leased.
A more recent report
from the Center of Amer-
ican Progress, “Stolen
Guns in America: A State-
by-State Analysis” re-
leased in 2017, estimated
1.2 million guns were sto-
len nationwide from 2012
to 2015 — 22,000 of them
from gun stores.
The same report said
Mississippians report-
ed an estimated 14,284
firearms stolen in that
period, which totaled to
nearly $6.5 million in val-
ue. That’s fewer than all
Mississippi’s bordering
states, with Arkansas re-
porting 27,392 weapons
stolen, Louisiana 31,365,
Alabama 37,988 and Ten-
nessee 61,868.
The local numbers
From Jan. 1 to Aug.
12, Columbus police have
recovered five confirmed
stolen firearms. In the
same period, Lowndes
County Sheriff’s Office re-
ceived 39 reports of stolen
firearms, and recovered
four. Starkville Police De-
partment received 50 re-
ports and has recovered
23 confirmed stolen weap-
ons.
Lovelady said that
about every three months,
and sometimes more of-
ten, SPD issue warnings
to residents and drivers
throughout the city to lock
their vehicles in apartment
complexes or at events.
“One of the top things
that get stolen is firearms,
when they’re reported,”
Lovelady said.
In one recent case, he
said, a citizen tipped off
officers that a suspicious
person was going through
a parking lot trying car
doors. Upon arrival, offi-
cers found a weapon on
the suspect.
Resources SPD offi-
cers have through work-
ing with federal and state
agencies help investiga-
tors learn when weapons
entered into evidence are
stolen.
Lovelady also stressed
that 23 is the minimum of
recovered stolen weapons.
As investigations unfold,
officers may learn other
weapons entered into evi-
dence have also been sto-
len.
The four weapons
LCSO has recovered are
all among 39 weapons
entered into evidence so
far this year. Almost half
are related to narcotics
investigations, accord-
ing to information LCSO
provided The Dispatch.
Capt. Archie Williams,
who leads the joint narcot-
ics task force made up of
both CPD and LCSO offi-
cers, said his team comes
across weapons daily.
Some of those have
been bought legally, usu-
ally purchased from a
private individual who
bought it from a pawn shop
or other dealer, he said.
Most of the weapons-re-
lated charges in narcotics
are either possession of
a weapon by a felon or a
weapons enhancement to
a drug charge, meaning
the sentence for the drug
charge could be doubled
just because the defendant
possessed both a weapon
and drugs.
Still, Williams believes
more of the weapons his
team comes across are
stolen than are reported
on paper.
Firearms can be identi-
fied through a unique se-
rial number. When a gun
is reported stolen, Shelton
said, investigators can en-
ter the serial number into
a national database that
keeps track of firearms.
And while it’s possible for
what he called “profes-
sional criminals” to file
the serial numbers off the
weapons, it’s pretty un-
usual and not something
CPD officers come across
often.
Tracking the serial
numbers of stolen weap-
ons are how he knows, for
example, that a particular
weapon stolen in Colum-
bus ended up involved in
a murder in Chicago. But
it’s the weapons belonging
to people who don’t know
the serial numbers on
their guns or who don’t re-
port their weapons stolen
in the first place that are
hard to track down.
That’s why Williams
believes more of the weap-
ons his team come across
are stolen.
“ We ’r e
t hink ing,
‘This gun
has to be
stolen,’
but there’s
no way to
Williams
prove it,”
Williams said.
It’s legal for someone
who buys a weapon from
a pawn shop to later sell
the weapon privately.
Still, Williams said buy-
ers should be careful. The
price can sometimes be a
dead giveaway.
“If it’s a $500 pistol and
you’re buying it for $100,
come on,” Williams said.
“You know something’s
not right with that.”
Responsible gun
ownership
Both Shelton and Wil-
liams stressed responsible
gun owners should record
the make, model and seri-
al numbers of their guns.
“We want people to be
safe. If you legally own a
firearm, take protective
measures to make sure
that weapon is safe in your
home or in your vehicle,”
Shelton said.
He said CPD can pro-
vide free gun locks to
legal gun owners. It also
provides safety classes to
people who want to own
firearms.
“If a person is going to
legally use a firearm, get
training,” Shelton added.
“At the police department,
we provide gun safety
classes at no charge to the
public.”
The most important
thing is to report the theft
to law enforcement quick-
ly.
“As soon as it happens,
let us know about it,” Shel-
ton said.

MSU notebook: Bulldogs hold scrimmage

QB decision getting closer, injury updates
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — The
Mississippi State football season is
inching closer.
Following a canceled session
last week, MSU held its first
scrimmage at Davis Wade Stadium
Saturday night.
Going through simulated situ-
ations, it was the offense that had
coach Joe Moorhead talking follow-
ing the practice.
“I think the good thing offen-
sively is that we spread it around,”
he said. “A bunch of different guys
made plays.”
Moorhead specifically men-
tioned junior running back and
Columbus native Kylin Hill as a
standout performer. Seeing limit-
ed action, Hill notched a handful
of productive runs in the controlled
environment.
Defensively, Martin Emerson
created the lone announced turn-
over of the night with an intercep-
tion along the sideline.
After this week’s set of practices
Moorhead and his coaching staff
will put the Bulldogs through a
simulated game day in preparation
for the season opener against Loui-
siana Aug. 31 in New Orleans. MSU
will board the team buses, par-
take in “The Dawg Walk,” and go
through pregame warmups prior to
a half scrimmage next weekend.

Sean Harrison wasn’t sure how his
players would respond to facing a team
they’ve never seen before.
After a 37-6 season-opening victory
over Georgia-based Heritage School
Friday at the SECIS Classic in Mont-
gomery, Ala., he had his answer.
“We just went off some film of what
they did last year,” Harrison said of his
team’s preparation. “It is kind of nice
to play someone new so the kids don’t
have any expectations off of what hap-
pened from a game last year. I thought
the kids responded well to a new chal-

Senior running back KJ Smith
set the tone on the second play from
scrimmage by taking a counter 60
yards to paydirt for the game’s open-
ing touchdown. Smith finished with
96 yards on eight carries and scored
twice.
“I thought the offensive line played
well, we have three new starters there
and they have a long way to go,” Har-
rison said. “But going out in Game
One and getting 107 rushing yards is

a good reflection on them.”
Senior quarterback Carter Putt
completed 9 of 15 passes for 204 yards,
one touchdown and one interception.
Meanwhile, Jared Long caught five
passes for 64 yards and Noel Fisher
hauled in two receptions for 51 yards,
while Banks Hyde recorded two catch-
es for 41 yards and a touchdown.
Heritage Academy outgained its
opponent from Georgia 343 to 223 in
total offensive yardage.
“I thought we played well for Game
One,” Harrison said. “We made a few
mistakes, but we had no injuries and
I thought we had everyone in the po-
sition they needed to be in. The good
news was 99 percent of the mistakes
we made are very fixable.”
Hyde also picked off a pass and ran
it back 33 yards for a touchdown, while
Sam Hannon recorded an interception
as well. The Patriots recovered two
fumbles on defense.
Heritage Academy (1-0) has a show-

“I think this game is great teaching

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: BRAVES 4, DODGERS 3

Braves use homers, better bullpen to beat Ryu
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Josh Don-
aldson and Adam Duvall hit
consecutive homers off Hyun-
Jin Ryu in the sixth inning,
the faulty Atlanta bullpen re-
deemed itself for a change, and
the Braves beat the Los Angeles
Dodgers 4-3 on Saturday night.
Donaldson stirred the larg-
est crowd in SunTrust Park’s
three-year history when his
29th homer landed in the Atlan-
ta bullpen in right-center. Du-
vall added on by going deep into
the left-center seats to make it
4-2.
Atlanta won the matchup of
NL division leaders one night
after the Dodgers’ powerful
offense homered four times,
sending the Braves to a 27th
loss in the last 37 regular-sea-
son games between the teams.
With their first win in five meet-
ings this season, the Braves are
trying to stand up to the club
that eliminated them from the
playoffs last year.
Ryu (12-3) lost for the first
time in seven starts as his ERA,
still best in the major leagues,
rose 19 points to 1.64.
Sean Newcomb (6-3) turned
in a promising performance af-
ter allowing consecutive hom-
ers the night before that left
him with a 13.49 ERA in his
last eight outings. He bailed out
starter Mike Foltynewicz in the
fifth, getting Edwin Ríos to fly
out with runners at the corners.

mum in 1 1/3 innings. Luke

in the seventh. Shane Greene,
another former closer, struck
out the side in the eighth. Mark
Melancon earned his second
save in two chances when Cody
Bellinger popped up with a run-
ner at first to end it.
Atlanta’s bullpen has been
battered over the last two
weeks with Greene, Melancon
and Chris Martin — all ac-
quired at the trade deadline to
steady the relief corps — begin-
ning the game with a combined
10.47 ERA in seven appearanc-
es apiece.
The Braves led 2-0 in the
third on Ozzie Albies’ two-
run double. Ryu, who had a
streak of 15 scoreless innings
snapped, struck out Donaldson
to strand Albies at third.
Matt Beaty provided Los An-
geles’ early offense, hitting his
seventh homer to make it 2-1 in
the fourth and lining a run-scor-
ing single to make it 2-all in the
fifth and chase Foltynewicz.

MLB ROUNDUP

‘Savages’ again: Yankees erupt at umpires, beat Indians 6-5

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Manager Aaron
Boone, Brett Gardner and the New York
Yankees again hammered away at the
umpires, this time in prolonged rants
that brought several members of the
team spilling onto the field, while beat-
ing the Cleveland Indians 6-5 Saturday.
Gleyber Torres hit two home runs
and Didi Gregorius and DJ LeMahieu
also connected for the AL East-leading
Yankees.
But what really fired up the crowd of
47,347 at Yankee Stadium occurred in
the sixth inning after Cameron Maybin
was called out on strikes by Triple-A
ump Ben May.
For the third time in a month — each
time with a minor league call-up umpire
behind the plate — the team with the
best record in American League lost its
temper in a big way. This episode led to
Boone, Gardner and pitcher CC Sabath-
ia being ejected.
James Paxton (9-6) went five in-
nings for the win. Zach Plesac (6-4) was
chased in the fifth.
Aroldis Chapman closed for his 35th
save in 40 chances.
n CUBS 2, PIRATES 0: PIT TS-
BURGH — Kris Bryant homered in the
seventh inning, and Chicago got out of
three bases-loaded jams to snap a four-
game skid and beat Pittsburgh.
After committing an error at third
base each of the previous two innings,
Bryant drove the first pitch of the sev-
enth from Steven Brault (3-2) into the
left-field bleachers to put Chicago ahead
1-0. It was Bryant’s 25th homer this sea-
son and third in five games.
Jon Lester (10-8) gave up four hits
and five walks in six innings, getting out
of two bases-loaded jams unscathed.
Rowan Wick retired each of the three
batters he faced for his first major league
save.
n REDS 6, CARDINALS 1: CIN-
CINNATI — Aristides Aquino hit a
three-run homer, Nick Senzel added a
leadoff shot and Cincinnati dropped St.
Louis back into a tie with Chicago for
first place in the NL Central.
Aquino’s blast off Miles Mikolas (7-
13) gave the Reds a 5-1 lead in the fifth.
It was the rookie’s 11th homer in his 17th
career game.
Anthony DeSclafani (8-7) worked five
innings, allowing Matt Carpenter’s sec-
ond-inning homer.
n RAYS 1, TIGERS 0, 13 IN-
NINGS: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —
Mike Brosseau’s pinch-hit RBI single in
the 13th inning drove in Eric Sogard and
gave Tampa Bay the win over Detroit.
Sogard doubled off Matt Hall (0-1)
with two outs and Tommy Pham was in-
tentionally walked. Brosseau singled to
right-center field for the Rays’ first run
since Wednesday, ending a streak of 29
scoreless innings.
Rays pitchers struck out a fran-
chise-record 24 batters, including 13
in 20 hitless at bats against relievers.
Poche (3-4) got the win after striking
out two of the three Tigers he faced in
the 13th.
n METS 4, ROYALS 1: KAN-
SAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jacob deGrom
pitched seven sharp innings and Pete
Alonso put New York ahead with a two-
run single in its win over Kansas City.
Alonso got three hits and snapped
a 1-all tie with two outs in the seventh
when he rolled a bases-loaded grounder
up the middle. Juan Lagares, who also
had three hits, added an RBI triple in the
eighth.
Last year’s NL Cy Young Award win-
ner, deGrom (8-7) gave up one run and
three hits while striking out five.
Royals starter Jakob Junis (8-11) al-
lowed a one-out single to Lagares in the
seventh and hit No. 9 batter Aaron Al-
therr with a pitch before he was pulled.
Seth Lugo worked a perfect ninth for
his third save.
n ATHLETICS 8, ASTROS 4:
OAKLAND, Calif. — Matt Chapman
doubled among his three hits and Mark
Canha had two hits and three RBIs to
back Chris Bassitt’s six solid innings,
and Oakland beat Houston.
Matt Olson and Josh Phegley each
had two hits for Oakland. The A’s have
won four straight games and 11 of their
last 16.
Bassitt (9-5) gave up three runs and
eight hits with two walks. In seven starts
since the All-Star break he’s 4-1 with a
2.36 ERA.
Yordan Alvarez homered twice for
Houston, which has lost five straight and
six of seven after winning eight in a row
and 18 of 21.
The A’s scored five runs against rook-
ie starter Rogelio Armenteros (1-1) in
the third.
n RED SOX 4, ORIOLES 0: BOS-
TON — Eduardo Rodríguez pitched 7
1/3 stellar innings, red-hot Rafael De-
vers belted a two-run homer and Boston
beat Baltimore for its fourth straight vic-
tory.
Trey Mancini had a double — his
eighth straight game in Fenway Park
with an extra-base hit — for the Orioles,
who have dropped six straight.
Rodríguez (14-5) allowed four hits,
struck out four, walked two and hit a bat-
ter in setting his career high for wins in
a season.
Asher Wojciechowski (2-6) gave up
two runs in 4 1/3 innings.
n PADRES 5, PHILLIES 3: PHIL-
ADELPHIA — Dinelson Lamet pitched
six solid innings, Ty France hit a tie-
breaking single and San Diego cooled
off Philadelphia.
Lamet (2-2) allowed three runs and
six hits with six strikeouts and a walk.
Eric Hosmer had three hits for the Pa-
dres, and Josh Naylor tied the game with
a two-run double in the fourth.
J.T. Realmuto homered for the Phil-
lies, who lost for the first time since for-
mer manager Charlie Manuel returned
as hitting coach on Tuesday.
The Padres went in front with a pair
of runs in the fifth off reliever Nick Piv-
etta (4-5).
Kirby Yates pitched a scoreless ninth
for his 34th save in 37 chances.

SPORTS BRIEFS
Southern Miss soccer tops
Mississippi State 1-0 in exhibition
The Mississippi State women’s soccer team fell in
its final tune up Saturday, falling to Southern Mississippi
1-0 in Starkville in an exhibition match.
Southern Mississippi’s Olivia Durham notched
the go-ahead goal in the 63rd minute with a goal off a
rebound chance.
Durham was set up after Hailey Pohevitz got clear
for a point-blank header that required MSU freshman
keeper Katie Moore to make a leaping save, but the ball
deflected directly to Durham about two yards shy of the
goal line where she dribbled it across for the lone goal
of the match.
“Obviously, it’s disappointing to lose a game that
we controlled for large durations of time in terms of
possession,” head coach James Armstrong said in a
news release. “Credit to Southern Miss. They were
well-organized, and they capitalized on the chance
that they got. Something that we’ve got to learn from
is being able to dominate both boxes and take care of
the details, but we will learn from that as a group and
as a staff.”
Moore finished with two saves as MSU held
USM to just three shots on goal. The Bulldogs fired
18 shots with six on target and held 61 percent of the
possession.
“We’re looking forward to getting back on the field,”
Armstrong added. “It was a fantastic home crowd. We
really appreciated all of those guys coming out in the
hot weather, and hopefully they’ll give us a chance to
show them what we’re all about on Thursday.”
MSU opens the regular season 6 p.m. Thursday
against Alabama A&M in Starkville. The contest is set to
air on SEC Network+.

Justin Thomas crushes Medinah with 61 for 6-shot lead
The Associated Press
MEDINAH, Ill. — Winless over the
last 12 months, Justin Thomas knew he
was playing well and he was due for a low
round.
Saturday at the BMW Championship
was more than he might have imagined.
Thomas smashed the course record
at Medinah with an 11-under 61 that
gave him a six-shot lead over Patrick
Cantlay and Tony Finau.
He opened with five birdies, and none
was worthy of a highlight reel because
of what followed. He hit a 5-wood from
260 yards on the par-5 10th that was so
pure he twirled his club and watched it
roll out to 2 feet.
That wasn’t among the top three
memories Saturday.
“I’m very lucky that I had a couple to
choose from today,” Thomas said.
In fluffy grass behind the 14th green,
he chipped in for birdie. From 180 yards
in the 16th fairway, he holed out for ea-
gle.
His felt his best shot was the next
hole, a 9-iron from forward tees to a
front pin over the water to 6 feet for his
eighth birdie of a remarkable round.
“It was easy to get pretty wrapped up
in the emotions and get the adrenaline
going and I had to take a little bit off that
9-iron,” Thomas said. “If I’m trying to be
perfect there and I don’t hit it right, that
very easily could go in the water.”

GOLF: BMW CHAMPIONSHIPS
Justin Thomas hits his tee shot on the 15th hole during the third round of the BMW
Championship golf tournament at Medinah Country Club - No. 3.
Thomas was at 21-under 195, with Fi-
nau (68) and Cantlay (67) chasing him.
He has a clear path to his first victory
since the Bridgestone Invitational last
August, along with the lead going into
the Tour Championship next week and
the chase for a $15 million prize.
Only seven players in PGA Tour his-
tory have lost a six-shot lead in the final
round, most recently Dustin Johnson at
the 2017 HSBC Champions.
The goal for Tiger Woods is simply
to get to the Tour Championship, where
last year he ended five years without
winning. Woods had a bogey-free 67, his
Brian Spurlock/USA TODAY Sports
lowest score since the final round of the
Memorial.
When Medinah is this much of a
pushover, it didn’t help all that much. He
was tied for 31st, with some 18 players
ahead of where he needs to be to move
into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup and ad-
vance to East Lake.
“I shoot 60, it should be all right,”
Woods said, a tongue-in-cheek comment
made about the time Thomas was teeing
off.
Thomas, who shot 59 at the Sony
Open in 2017, opened with a pair of 12-
foot birdie putts, hit to 2 feet on No. 3,
holed a 15-footer on No. 4 and was out
of position only briefly before a fifth
straight birdie on the par-5 fifth. But it
was the back nine where Thomas seized
control.
“I’ve been around enough. That was
really impressive,” said Finau, who
played with Thomas. “It’s fun to watch.
Whenever you see a guy playing that
well in a zone, really cool. He was already
playing well and that shot on 16 put him
over the top from well to ... really well.”
Finau holed out from the fourth fair-
way for eagle. Cantlay had five birdies.
Brandt Snedeker chipped in on both par
3s on the back nine in his round of 67.
Low scores were everywhere.
Medinah never looked more vulnera-
ble.
“It doesn’t matter what golf course it
is,” Thomas said. “You give us soft, good
greens and soft fairways, we’re going to
tear it apart. It’s just how it is.”
All but two players in the 69-man
field — Harold Varner III and Cameron
Champ — were at par or better.
In five majors held at Medinah, the
lowest score was a 65. That was matched
twice Thursday by Thomas and Jason
Kokrak. Hideki Matsuyama set the stan-
dard with a 63 on Friday. Thomas beat
that by two.
“I hope the trend doesn’t continue un-
less it’s me,” Thomas said with a grin.

only year with Sooners
NORMAN, Okla. — Jalen Hurts has had all the an-
swers since transferring from Alabama in January.
One question had the new Oklahoma quarterback
stumped. When asked what he does besides football
and studying, he paused.
“Um. I don’t know,” he said.
Football and studying, that pretty much it?
“Yeah.”
Hurts finally said he calls his friends and writes his
thoughts down. But there isn’t a lot of free time when
you are trying to master coach Lincoln Riley’s dynamic
offense.
“My deal is taking in as much as I can so I can be the
best player, the best leader I can be for this team this
year,” Hurts said.
It’s clear that Hurts is focused, and he has much to
show for that approach — he has played in three nation-
al title games and led a stirring rally against Georgia
last season in the SEC championship game. He was
part of the Alabama team that won the 2017 national
title.
Hurts lost his starting job to Tua Tagovailoa last
season, but his numbers jump out nonetheless: He was
26-2 as a starter for Alabama, then completed 73% of
his passes as a reserve last season.
“The man can ball,” top returning receiver CeeDee
Lamb said. “He’s a great leader. He likes things done
in his way, He’s been where we’re trying to go and he’s
won an actual national championship, so we’re going to
listen to what he has to say and we’re going to take it
on there.”
Credentials alone don’t account for the respect
Hurts has earned. He immediately got his new team-
mates’ attention with his work ethic heading into his
final year of college football.
“He’s a leader, no doubt,” receiver Lee Morris said.
“He was a leader from day one when he got here.”
Hurts’ demeanor is ideal for someone who is step-
ping in and following Heisman Trophy-winning quar-
terbacks Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. Expecta-
tions are high for the Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of
the Year.
“I’ve had the same approach since I got here — to be
the best quarterback I can be,” he said. “All that other
stuff is what y’all want to talk about.”
Hurts is 21 and has already graduated from Alabama
with a degree in communications. Running back Trey
Sermon said Hurts’ maturity stands out.
“He’s an old head to me,” Sermon said. “He listens
to a lot of old-school music. He makes a lot of jokes that
you hear that my uncle would say.”
Mayfield was a fiery, vocal leader who would yell
and jump around. Murray was more subdued, but had a
swagger that his teammates latched onto.
Hurts? He says: “I chill.”
“He’s kept to himself, but he’s still always working,”
Lamb said. “He’s always either with film or he’s trying
to go get some routes in. He’s definitely the most laid
back guy on the team, if not top five.”
Hurts feels his personality meshes well with Riley’s,
and he likes being paired with an aggressive, offen-
sive-minded coach.
“I think coach Riley has really good intentions,”
he said. “Really good intentions with really bad inten-
tions.”
Hurts sees Riley as a players’ coach and said Riley
has made a special effort to build a connection with
him.
I’m here and how much I really need to take in before
we actually get into gameplay. It’s a relationship I defi-
nitely appreciate. Definitely a different relationship
from coaches I’ve had in the past. I think the relation-
ship can take us a long way. I think it can take this team
a long way.”
Riley said Hurts’ ability to connect with those around
him will be the most important part of the transition.
“To me, the story’s not so much trying to get him
caught up learning the offense,” Riley said. “It’s more
trying to build the relationships and the trust that a lot
of times it takes years and years — that to me is the
whole deal, and to me, if that can be developed at a high
level, the scheme stuff will come.”
ESPN documentary shows Bleier’s emotional
return to Vietnam
Rocky Bleier thought he made peace with what hap-
pened in a rice paddy in Vietnam on Aug. 20, 1969.
What the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back
didn’t have though was closure until a trip back there
last year.
Bleier’s visit to Vietnam — the first time he had
been back since being injured in battle — is the sub-
ject of ESPN’s “The Return”, which debuts Tuesday at
8 p.m. EDT on ESPN2. A shorter version began airing
Saturday on “SportsCenter” as part of its weekly SC
Featured series.
“It was a different catharsis than I anticipated,” Blei-
er said. “Unlike the average veteran who returned after
service and had to repress those feelings, I came back
to a high-profile industry and became a story. In some
regards it was cathartic (during his playing days) that I
had to talk about it.”
Bleier’s story remains one of perseverance. He was
selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 16th round
in 1968 only to be drafted into the U.S. Army during
his rookie season. Three months after being deployed,
Bleier was shot through his thigh and suffered a gre-
nade blast where shrapnel severely damaged his right
foot and both legs when his “Charlie Company” unit
was ambushed during a recovery operation in the Hiep
Duc Valley.
Of the 33 soldiers in the infantry unit, 25 were in-
jured and four killed.
Doctors were able to save Bleier’s foot but told him
he would never play football again. Not only did Bleier ACROSS
recover from his injuries, but he was an integral part of 1 Maligns in print

for the No. 1 job.
Moorhead said his staff has begun
to lean a certain way but is not fully pre-
pared to make a final judgement on the
situation.
Speaking after the scrimmage, he
said he will hopefully have a decision
made this week.
“You kind of have a gut feeling watch-
ing it but we’ll grade it tonight, we’ll talk
about it tomorrow and make a plan mov-
ing forward from there,” Moorhead said.

it was good to shoot from the 18.”
Howard capped off her hat trick when
she again raced through the Marshall
Academy defense before sending home a
right-footed shot off the left post and into
the back of the net.
“The great thing about her is that she
has a great eye for when to distribute the
ball and when to take those shots from
about the 18,” Heritage Academy coach
Tom Velek said. “…Mark her and the ball
is going somewhere else. Don’t mark her
and she’ll make you pay.”
Fellow captain and classmate Taylor
Phillips also notched a goal as she cashed
in from close distance to send Heritage
Academy into halftime with a 6-0 lead.
Outside of Phillips and Howard, the
Patriots received ample production
from their corps of youngsters. Seventh
grader Caroline Peal and eighth graders
Chloe Boyd and Emma Britt each added
a goal apiece on the afternoon.
“The last three years, we’ve lacked
depth,” Velek said. “We’ve been able to

said that no player is expected to miss
time “indefinitely” at this point.
That said, Moorhead said junior line-
backer Willie Gay Jr. is continuing to
nurse a lower body injury. Moorhead
added he is “cautiously optimistic” he
will be ready to go the week of the sea-
son opener.
In other news, there is no update
on the pending transfers of junior col-
lege running back Kareem Walker and
South Alabama punter Corliss Wait-
man.
Walker was expected early in camp
but has continued to battle through
administrative issues, postponing his
arrival.
off in production. What was really nice
today and in some of the previous games,
we’re circulating 5, 6, 7 players on.”
Following last season’s disappointing
one-goal loss to Bayou Academy in the
state semifinals, Velek’s motto to this
year’s squad has been “One goal, no ex-
cuses.”
With their adage in tow, the Patriots
have responded with a vengeance to
open the 2019 season — sitting at 5-1
with their lone loss coming 1-0 at Wash-
ington High School in Greenville.
Further, Heritage Academy has out-
scored opponents 34-3 over the year’s
first six games — a testament to the Pa-
triots’ balanced scoring attack.
“It’s like playing whack-a-mole,” Velek
said of his offense. “As soon as you shut
down one, here comes another scoring
threat at you.”
The Patriots next major test comes
Thursday on the road against Starkville
Academy. Velek has yet to win on the
road against the Volunteers in his four
seasons at the helm.
Waitman was signed as a graduate
transfer but had his sixth-year of eligi-
bility denied by the NCA A. His process
is ongoing.
Devonta “Whop” Jason is also not
with the program at present. He is back
home in New Orleans handling some
personal issues.
“Year 21 of being a husband and
father of young kids I think we lose
sight of the emotional side of it,” Moor-
head said in reference to Jason. “You
get caught up in playing time, you get
caught up in depth charts and you real-
ize the kids have problems outside the
white lines and we’re doing everything
we can to support him.”

Alaska records its warmest month

ever; future records likely
Anchorage, the state’s largest city, on
July 4 for the first time hit 90 degrees
The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska
— Alaska has been Ameri-
ca’s canary in the coal mine
for climate warming, and
the yellow bird is swooning.
July was Alaska’s warm-
est month ever, according
to the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Adminis-
tration.
Sea ice melted. Bering
Sea fish swam in above-nor-
mal temperatures. So did
children in the coastal town
of Nome. Wildfire season
started early and stayed
late. Thousands of walrus-
es thronged to shore.
Unusual weather events
like this could become
more common with cli-
mate warming, said Brian
Brettschneider, an associ-
ate climate researcher at
the University of Alaska
Fairbanks’ International
Arctic Research Center.
Alaska has seen “multiple
decades-long increases” in
temperature, he said.
“It becomes easier to
have these unusual sets of
conditions that now lead to
records,” Brettschneider
said.
Alaska’s average tem-
perature in July was 58.1
degrees. That’s 5.4 de-
grees above average and
0.8 degrees higher than the
previous warmest month of
July 2004, NOAA said.
The effects were felt
from the Arctic Ocean to
the world’s largest temper-
ate rainforest on Alaska’s
Panhandle.
Anchorage, the state’s
largest city, on July 4 for the
first time hit 90 degrees at
Ted Stevens Anchorage
International Airport, 5 de-
grees higher than the city’s
previous recorded high of
85 degrees.
Sea ice off Alaska’s
north and northwest shore
and other Arctic regions
retreated to the lowest lev-
el ever recorded for July,
according to the National
Snow and Ice Data Center
at the University of Colora-
do.
Arctic sea ice for July set
a record low of 2.9 million
square miles. That was a
South Carolina-size loss of
30,900 square miles below
the previous record low
July in 2012.
Sea ice is the main hab-
itat for polar bears and a
resting platform for female
walruses and their young.
Several thousand walrus-
es came to shore July 30,
the first time they’ve been
spotted in such large num-
bers before August.
Effects were less obvi-
ous in the Bering Sea off
Alaska’s west coast. Lyle
Britt, a NOAA Fisheries
biologist who oversees the
agency’s annual Bering Sea
groundfish survey, was on
a trawler east of the island
of Saint Matthew during
the first week of July.
“The temperature out
there for us was in the high
70s,” Britt said. “On those
boats, everything up there
is designed to conserve
heat, not vent heat. It was
unbearably warm inside
the boat.”

US stocks end turbulent week with broad gains

By STAN CHOE
and ALEX VEIGA
AP Business Writers
You’re not the only one
confused about where the
economy is headed. Just
look at the stock market,
where perplexed inves-
tors have been sending
stocks on a wild ride in
August.
And there could be
plenty more where that
came from. Two notori-
ously volatile months for
stocks lie just ahead.
Stocks around the
world jumped Friday to
cap another tumultuous
week. Investors have
been frantically trying to
rejigger their predictions
about whether President
Donald Trump’s trade war
and slowing economies
around the world will drag
the United States into a
recession. In the U.S., the
result was a week where
the Dow Jones Industri-
al Average had four days
where it rose or fell by
more than 300 points —
with an 800-point drop
thrown into the mix.
On Friday, the S&P
500 rose 1.4 percent. The
Dow climbed 1.2 percent
and the Nasdaq picked
up 1.7 percent. But each
index still finished with a
third-straight weekly de-
cline.
Stocks, bonds and oth-
er investments heaved
up and down throughout
the week, with worries
hitting a crescendo on
Wednesday when a fairly
reliable warning signal of
recession flipped on in the
U.S. Treasury market.
Friday marked the
seventh time in the last
10 days that the S&P
500 swung by at least 1
percent, something that
hasn’t happened since the
end of 2018, the last time
investors were getting
worried about a possible
recession. At that time,
they were concerned
about rising interest rates,
along with the trade war.

1. What are the biggest
challenges facing Ward 4?
Storm recovery efforts, Tronox,
beautification, community policing, and
abandoned properties to name a few.
However, rebuilding trust is at the top of
my priority list. I wholeheartedly feel that
being trusted is a greater compliment
than being loved. I promise to work
tirelessly to earn the trust of each and
every constituent of Ward 4. I will make
myself available and visible throughout
the community to create a channel of
communication so we can start tackling
issues together. That’s right, I’m going
to communicate with citizens. If elected,
I’m only your advocate. Your voice will
be as strong as my voice. I will do my
job. Ward 4, I will deliver.
While on the trail, I have come
across several issues. However, I
believe the number one issue we face
in Ward 4 is unity. It is very important
for us to work together toward a brighter
tomorrow. We can do so by remaining
informed and working harder against
the spread of misconceptions about our
community. It is disappointing to see
the amount of negativity and untruth
originating in our own community. I also
recognize the challenges we have with
crime/safety and proactive engagement
of our youth.
1. Disrespect for authority/others.
2. Training our children in the way
they should live.
3. Adult education/life skills.
4. Proper life skills.
From receiving input from the
constituents of Ward 4, the challenges
facing this community would be
Drainage System, Dilapidated Homes,
and alack of Road Repairs. The ditches
not being cleaned out causes drainage
problems, especially when it rains for
consecutive days. The water has no
place to flow. Therefore it back flows
in residents yards, their front and back
porches, and eventually the water
enters their homes. There are many
abandoned dilapidated homes in the
area with over grown weeds, grass and
a dumping ground for discarded items.
Some of the abandoned home are used
as drugs haven attracting youths who
hangout, use guns and sell drugs.
Quality of life issues such as:
Equity, access & quality education
for all students, Keeping ditches &
street drains free of debris to help
prevent street flooding & erosion,
Ensuring there is safe & clean water
in Ward 4, Continue with clean-up
& recovery effort after the February
23 tornado,Transparency in city
government, harmony & civility between
city & county government officials.
The biggest challenges facing Ward
4 are; Flooding in the communities
which leads to much needed drainage
repairs.
The completion of tornado clean-up.
Making sure that our youth are safe
by developing structured activities.
A special election will be held August 20, 2019
to fill the Ward 4 City Councilman vacancy.
Candidates’ unedited responses are printed here.
Term: 4 years, Annual salary: $17,500
2. What makes you the best
candidate for the job?
I think the pool of candidates we
have running in this race all have
distinctive platforms and visions that will
serve Ward 4 well. Nevertheless, I feel
I’m the choice Ward 4 needs. I’ll admit,
yes I’m young and new to politics,
but that’s part of my determination.
I’m not afraid to be bold and present
fresh new ideas. We need someone
who can bridge the gap between the
older and younger generation which
will ignite our youth to bring forth new
innovative ideas. Most importantly, we
need someone who isn’t afraid to say
NO. In regards to youth development,
I will soon be soliciting volunteers to
help partner and startup a big brother/
sister program, establish a Columbus
youth choir, and create a working group
to get parents active and inside our city
schools.
I have a unique love for Ward 4
and the city of Columbus as a whole.
I have studied this city for many years
and believe my passion and leadership
skills can move us forward. In my work,
I spend most of my time pooling and
connecting resources. I am prepared
to come in, further assess what we
currently have, and put our resources
to work for the people in an efficient
manner. If I discover lack in any area, I
plan to research additional solutions for
our community on a case-by-case basis.
Community volunteer over 41 yrs.
I believe that creating a cohesive,
vibrant community that unites both
the young and the old to focus on a
common goal is what is needed in Ward
4. A young leader such as myself, with
new ideas who has grown up in the
community, living in the community
an understands the residents of
the community makes me a choice
candidate for councilman of Ward 4
community. I have owned and operated
a business in the area for more than 10
years. I will use a business model which
incorporates teamwork, community
input and feedback. I promise to be
available to answer questions posed
by the community and work with the
community to fine answer and find
resources and build up our community.
I have been working & serving the
city of Columbus for the last 13 years.
Such as: President of the NAACP,
Member of Missionary Union Church,
Thanksgiving Day of Service, Columbus
Police Overview Committee & Prepare
& Serving Food at Loaves and Fishes.
The best person for any job has the
following characteristics.
A Christ-like attitude
Willing to work with and to serve all
of the people
Respect for all generations and their
opinions
Being able to listen with and open
mind
Willing to do the work
Make the best effort to address all
concerns
I want to educate the young,
motivate the seniors and rejuvenate the
community.
3. How effective do you believe
the storm recovery efforts in the
city have been so far and how do
you see yourself improving them
as a part of the council?
The community lived up to our
Friendly City mantra. The support for
victims, especially displaced families,
left me speechless. The neighborhood
as I remembered it was forever changed
Feb. 23, 2019. Work has been done,
but there is still more to be done. I’ll
rate the city overall effectiveness as
fair. There is still a lot of debris and
abandoned properties. Last month, an
elderly lady asked me to do something
about the house next door to her home.
I immediately contacted the property
owner and asked for permission to
board up the home as it was haven for
drug related activity. With the help of
the Columbus Recovery of Lowndes
County, we boarded up the home and
cleaned the property.
I believe the immediate response
from the community was beautiful
and served as a renewal of love and
engagement. I do think there were some
delays and confusion in the beginning
on the state and federal level. However,
the city has done a fairly good job with
clean up. I think some of the delays we
are seeing now may be a result of an
array of home ownership issues. It is
important to build and restore right here
in our community, opposed to relocating
elsewhere. Having a local United Way
and newly formed recovery committee
also helps with recovery efforts. If
elected, I look forward to working with
these groups and others. I also plan
to make sure allotted city funds are
matched with any remaining public
property in need of restoration.
Fair/poor. Residents (some) still
homeless/displaced visibility of Feb. 23,
2019 is still an eye sore. Rodents will
invade trash and germs will be airborne.
I will work diligently with Our City
Leaders, Firemen, School, etc to make
our city a role model where as to draw
resident, not drive them away. Also
work with anybody, institution that is an
access to our beautiful city—Friendly
City. The place we call home. I will work
for the people and with the people of our
city council and neighborhood.
I feel we still have a long way to
go. There still homes that need a lot
of work. There still trash that needs
to be done be haul off. I will get with
organizations to see what funds are out
there. I will get with the council to see
how much funds left for cleanup in my
ward. I will also get with the homeowner
to see what all they need help with.
The city has done a great job with
response relief & clean-up. However
recovery from any disaster is a long-
term process & as a member of the
city council I will, Work with community
organizations & government agencies to
provide resources & implement program
to help people dealing with stress in the
aftermath of a tornado, Help families
who are currently living in temporary
housing find permanent homes, Work
with appropriate authorities to make
sure rental properties are safe & meet
city codes ie, building, electrical ,gas
etc. Review “Lesson Learned” from the
February 23 tornado recovery effort
& use those lesson to revise/updated
the city current Emergency Response
Plan to include lessons learned from
volunteers & donations, debris removal
& property clean up.
The City has made strides in
the clean-up but there is room for
improvement. As a representative I will
be the voice for all of Ward 4 and work
cooperatively with the Council and The
Mayor to be certain the needs of this
ward are met.
As part of the council I will address
lighting, safety, crime prevention clean-
up, and drainage to name a few.
Additional lights are needed to
improve visibility and safety .
Additional lighting will reflect on
and improve community safety. Based
on the studies completed by U.S.
Department of Justice and results of
our local crime stats, Increased lighting
has a direct affect in the reduction of
crime in well- kept communities.

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: My fiancé,
“Bradley,” is the man
of my dreams. We have
been together three years, live
together and have a dog. Brad is
in his early 30s, and I’m turning
30 this year.
We decided on a long en-
gagement so we could enjoy the
planning process. Our wedding is
scheduled for next year. We both
work hard and live comfortably.
But we struggle now and then
to make ends meet, especially
around the holidays, although
it’s nothing we can’t resolve by Dear Abby
cutting back a bit.
The issue: I am ready for a
child. He wants to wait until we have been mar-
ried for at least two years. He feels it would
require a lot of financial and lifestyle sacrifice
that he doesn’t want to make right now.
I understand where he’s
coming from because I felt the
same way for a while. But lately,
I have this overpowering sense
of readiness and yearning to be-
come a mother. No matter what I
do to suppress this instinct, I am
more and more heartbroken every
day knowing this reality is so far
away.
How should I cope with this?
I am becoming more and more
depressed. Should I confront my
fiancé? Maybe do couples coun-
seling? Brad is always willing to
listen, but I don’t think he under-
stands how it feels. — FUTURE
MOMMY IN RHODE ISLAND
DEAR FUTURE MOMMY: Because you
and your fiancé are not on the same page
regarding this issue, couples counseling
could be helpful. However, because you
are becoming increasingly frustrated and
depressed, also discuss these feelings with
your physician. If you are worried about your
biological clock, women have options today
that weren’t available in years past, and you
and Brad may want to explore them.
DEAR ABBY: I am a 69-year-old divorcee
who was married for 48 years. The last 25
years were very lonely. There were no intimate
relations, hugs or kisses, and we slept in
separate bedrooms. After I retired, I learned
my husband had been cheating on me for God
knows how long, possibly 20 years.
After our divorce, I was finally persuaded to
do some online dating, which has been quite
an adventure, both positive and negative! I
am currently happy in an exclusive year-long
relationship, but because I have been out of
the dating world for almost half a century, I am
confused by the new rules.
My boyfriend sometimes expects me to
share the cost of what we do, whether it be
restaurant, movies, golf, airline tickets, etc.
My mother taught me that the gentleman
always pays, so please give me current advice
about present-day dating etiquette, if you
would be so kind. — CURRENT IN TEXAS
DEAR CURRENT: What your mother taught
you WAS true in her day. However, because
women are now in the working world, have
incomes of their own, and are on a more equal
par with men, they now share some or all of
those expenses. Much depends upon the
financial disparity between the two. This is
an important subject you should discuss with
your gentleman friend to see if you can agree
on an arrangement that’s comfortable for both
of you.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren,
also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was
founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August
18). You’ve won a permanent home
in someone’s heart. There’s comfort
in this, also a distinct brand of
discomfort that goes by the name
“adventure.” Feeling loved and
safe inspires you to take risks you
wouldn’t have before. You’ll enjoy dif-
ferent transportation. A professional
circle opens to you. Sagittarius and
Capricorn adore you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 28, 45, 4, 9 and 30.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
spirit of play has more to teach you
about the people around you than
you could possibly get from more
formal discourse. Today, you’ll learn
a person’s nature and find a point of
comfortable connection.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This
goal you’ve been working on might
not bring what you’ve hoped for, but
that will probably be its own kind of
reward. If not, having finished will be
the reward, which comes in the form
of confidence.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Complaining doesn’t improve things,
but it can bring awareness to what
needs improvement. From there, a
decision must be made. There are
three choices: stop, work around it
or change.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
shiny new objects and opportunities
will appeal to you far more today
than the actions that feel safe and
the environments that are familiar
and comfortable.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). How can
you tell life is going well? Various bal-
ances will be recorded and reported,
but they say nothing of the kinship in
casual banter, the laughter between
friends, the way you felt when that
song came on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be
careful with your help. If you help too
much, you could be hurting by nurtur-
ing a dependency that will hinder a
person’s ability to develop skills on
his or her own.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Final-
ly, you’ll get the chance to sit down
with someone you’ve been missing.
As poet May Sarton suggests, “Lone-
liness is the poverty of self; solitude
is the richness of self.”
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
may watch the weather, but unless
it’s extreme, you don’t let it interfere
with your plans. Focusing on what
you can do in the moment is always
better than worrying about all the
things you have no control over.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Take the temperature of the room.
You’ll change it just by being there.
The more you understand how things
are, the better you can make them
into what you want them to be.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
People assume that the heavy-hand-
ed oppressor is the bad guy to be
feared. Actually, the one to watch
out for will come in soft form. That
which tempts, amuses and distracts
us can have dangerous potential.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You can either fix what’s broken
or wait a few months more for the
availability of the new version. Likely,
this is about something other than
technology.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
What seems like a very small distrac-
tion simply takes up too much of
your time. You’ll be so much more
productive when that one diversion
is no longer a part of the picture.

EMCC ranked again among nation’s

Top 10 community colleges
EMCC MARKETING AND
COMMUNICATIONS
DEPARTMENT

S
martAsset has
named East Missis-
sippi Community
College among the Top 10
colleges in the nation for
the fourth year in a row.
EMCC placed No. 8 on
the annual report titled
“The Best Community
Colleges in America,
2019 Edition.” Last year,
EMCC was ranked No. 5
on the list and earned the
No. 3 spot in 2017 and No.
8 in 2016.
During each of those
years, EMCC was the
only college in Mississip-
pi to make the Top 10 list.
“East Mississippi
Community College is
committed to providing
our students an education
that is second to none
while keeping our tuition
rates down,” EMCC Pres-
ident Scott Alsobrooks
said. “The fact that we
have made SmartAsset’s
Top 10 list for four years
running is testament to
the fact that the hard
work by our administra-
tors, faculty and staff has
paid off.”
SmartAsset com-
piled the rankings after
analyzing 796 two-year
educational institutions
nationwide and compar-
ing the schools’ gradua-
tion and transfer rates,
student-to-faculty ratios
and cost of tuition and
fees, SmartAsset Vice
President of Financial Ed-
ucation AJ Smith stated
in an email.
The data was mined
from the National Center
for Education Statistics’
Integrated Postsec-
ondary Education Data
System for the 2017-18
school year, which is the
latest year for which the
information is available,
according to Smith.
East Mississippi Community College has been named
among the Top 10 community colleges in the nation by
SmartAsset.
“With approximately
82 percent of students
graduating or transfer-
ring to four-year insti-
tutions in the 2017-2018
school year, EMCC has
the second-highest grad-
uation and transfer rate in
this year’s study,” Smith
wrote in an email.
According to the re-
port, EMCC’s tuition and
fees of $3,240 for in-state
students to complete two
semesters of coursework
is “about $1,000 lower
than the average tuition
of almost $4,300 across
all 796 colleges in the
study.”
Community colleges
in general have managed
to keep tuition increases
down compared to other
institutions of higher
learning over the past
decade.
According to College-
Board.org, between the
2008-09 and 2018-19
school years, average
published tuition and fees
rose by $930 at public
two-year colleges, by
$2,670 at public four-year
higher education institu-
tions and by $7,390 at pri-
vate nonprofit four-year
colleges and universities.
The average tuition
Courtesy photo
and fees in 2018-19 for a
public four-year universi-
ty is $10,230 and $35,830
at a private nonprofit four-
year university, College-
Board.org reports.
More than 44 million
borrowers in the U.S.
collectively carry more
than $1.5 trillion in stu-
dent loan debt, according
to an article in Forbes
titled “Student Loan Debt
Statistics in 2019: A $1.5
Trillion Crisis.”
Student loan debt now
exceeds the U.S. consum-
er debt for both credit
cards and automobile
loans, the article states.
“Students at EMCC
can take their first two
years of college or earn a
career technical certifi-
cate or associate’s degree
that leads to well-paying
jobs without falling into
the student loan debt
trap,” Alsobrooks said.
“Our students can be
assured they will not only
get the best bang for their
buck but that they will
graduate from a quality
institution dedicated to
preparing them for the
next phase of their lives.”

elieving that fraud

“Scammers call it

Various studies have

fraud. But that can create
a “blame the victim”
mentality and give the
rest of us a false sense of

Writers’ group
Continued from Page 1C
Every member
has a niche
Dorris Brown had
the floor. Her short
story of the star-crossed
love between Choctaw
Joseph Eagle Wings and
Susannah Kincaid held
her audience in attentive
silence.
The story is Brown’s
contribution to the writ-
ers’ group’s latest project
“The Ferry Tales,” a
fictional short story
collection centered on
life in early 19th century
Columbus. Each writ-
er looked at a random
vintage photograph and
concocted a tale inspired
by its content.
In Brown’s story, the
details jumped out —
from the stars, the rush-
ing Tombigbee River and
torn flesh from an injury
to suspense, heartache
and loss.
Whether in Brown’s
writing or in her daily
life, details are kind of
her thing.
Brown, 76, a retired
international marketing
director, became the
de facto organizer/min-
ute-taker for the writers’
group after it was found-
ed. She’s asked before if
those duties should be
rotated, but they’ve so far
stayed in Brown’s court
since her friends say
“you’re doing such a good
job.”
“Wherever I’ve been
in my life, these things
just fall to me,” Brown
said.
With the writers’
group, though, every-
one seems to have their
niche.
Donna Both, for
example, is known best
for her poetry, while
Debra Doonan focuses
her writing on mystery.
Dick Martin is writing a
scientific work on energy
sources.
Angie Basson, well,
she just tells one heck of
a story.
“When Angie reads
here or gets behind (an
open) mic, I just fall over
laughing at how enter-
taining her stories are,”
Brown said.
Then there’s Donaghe,
dubbed “The Red Pen
Man” for his thorough
edits of manuscripts
members hope to get
published.
At 71, Donaghe has
enjoyed a 35-year writing
career, with traditional
publishing houses —
New York-based Penguin
Random House among
them — printing more
than a dozen of his novels
since the mid-1980s.
Since 1997, he’s self-pub-
lished several more.
He’s also edited books
for Book Search and Am-
azon and taught technical
writing for years at New
Mexico State University.
Donaghe moved to Co-

Writers’ Group meeting Tuesday. She is known for her

lumbus in 2016 and soon
found his way among the
writers’ group, offering
his comments to the rec-
reational writers and his
editing services to those
who are “more serious.”
“It’s becoming less
and less possible to get
published by traditional
publishers, so I’ve paid
my dues and have joined
the ranks of so many
writers who don’t want to
play the traditional pub-
lishing game,” he said.
“The key to (self-publish-
ing) is to put out excel-
lent covers, make sure
the writing is well-edited,
and if it’s any good, peo-
ple will read it.”
After reading Jeanette
Basson’s book, a sur-
vival fiction novel titled
“Stranded in Alaska,”
Donaghe likes her chanc-
es for success.
“She can make your
mouth water describing
what her characters are
having for dinner,” he
said. “She’s just so con-
crete in her storytelling.”
Jeanette’s storytelling
came straight from her
mother, who never wrote
anything for publication
but “had wonderful story
ideas.”
Over time, Jeanette
dabbled in several artistic
endeavors — painting,
basket weaving and other
types of handcrafting —
but she kept coming back
to writing.
“I would do whatever
caught my fancy, but
nothing holds it like
writing,” she said. “Char-
acters and stories just
come to me. I wake up at
night with characters in
my head, and I have to
get them on paper to get
them out of my head.”

The creative process
In college, which she
jokingly noted was ”about
a thousand years ago,”
Brown was tasked with
looking out a classroom
window and writing what
she saw. After she turned
in the assignment, the
dean called her to his
office.
Her work, especially
the detail, earned the
dean’s attention, she
learned. So far, it’s the
only time she’s been
published.
Through the writers’
group, she said she
wouldn’t mind one day
seeing her work broadly
shared. But that’s not the
reason she joined.
“The creative process,
the journey, means more
to me,” Brown said. “It’s

“Out from under the Bed-
pan and into Cyberspace
Nursing” — a recounting
of her 60-year nursing
career that took her from
conventional nursing
in the Jackson area to
becoming a licensed feel
and touch practitioner in
2000.
“A lot of it talks about
how the use of technolo-
gy changed over time,”
she said. “That’s (the in-
troduction of) computers,
of course, but also the
use of plastic. We used to
have glass thermometers
and we would (heat) nee-
dles and use them over
again. I remember cold
stainless steel bedpans
that were difficult to slide
under heavy people, es-
pecially. The plastic ones
are so easy.”
