Businessman redirects millions from Ole Miss to nonprofit

Meek to pull his $5.3M donation, plus interest,
and transfer it to the CREATE Foundation
The Associated Press
TUPELO — A businessman
is pulling his $5.3 million do-
nation, plus interest, from the
University of Mississippi and
giving the money to a nonprof-
it group that does community
work and owns a newspaper.
Ed Meek’s action comes
months after the university re-
moved his name from its School
of Journalism and New Media
after Meek commented on a
Facebook photo of two young
African American women wear-
ing short dresses, suggesting
they exemplified problems that
threatened the economy of Ox-
ford, where the university is
located. Meek later apologized.
News outlets report Meek
filed papers in July transfer-
ring his money to the CREATE
Foundation, which does work
in 17 counties and owns the
Northeast Mississippi Daily
Journal.
Meek told the Daily Journal
on Friday that he was treated
unfairly by the university and
“roundly labeled as a racist”
after his September 2018 Face-
book post.
“I’m disappointed. I love Ole
Miss,” Meek said. “We had
major plans for the university.
I’m disappointed in the way
the school treated me — very
unfairly, I think. But, I love the
university.”
Meek asked the university
to remove his name from the
journalism school amid the
backlash over the post. Trust-
ees of the state College Board
approved the request within
weeks.
Meek led Ole Miss public
relations for 37 years, starting
in 1964, and has had other pub-
lishing businesses. The school
was named for Meek after he
and his wife donated the $5.3
million in 2009.
His Facebook post was
made during the aftermath of
a monthslong controversy over
efforts to limit underage drink-
ing in Oxford. Some opponents
said versions of those regula-
tions were unfairly aimed at
a downtown music hall that
sometimes hosts performers
popular among African Ameri-
cans.
The women pictured in
Meek’s post were Ole Miss stu-
dents who said they dressed up
after a football game to go out
and have fun with friends. Both
called his post demeaning and
offensive. Jeffrey Vitter, who
was the university’s chancellor
at the time, condemned Meek’s
Facebook post within hours.
Documents filed in Lafay-
ette County Chancery Court
show that Meek’s initial dona-
tion to the university has accu-
mulated more than $1 million
in interest, making the total
endowment $6.4 million. “As a
consequence of a long series of
events it is now impossible for
the gift to be used as once in-
tended, and my wife and I now
desire that the gift be redirect-
ed as contemplated in the orig-
inal letter describing the gift,”
the court document says.

Bruce
Continued from Page 1A
and worked for the Dai-
ly Times Leader in his
hometown before he be-
came a Starkville Daily
News reporter. He joined
MPA as the marketing
director in 2006 and be-
came executive director
the following year.
As a trade group,
MPA’s services include
continuing education for
journalists, lobbying the
Legislature on behalf of
its member newspapers
and acting as an advertis-
ing representative. Mis-
sissippi Press Services
works with ad agencies,
and the MPA Education
Foundation fosters jour-
nalism education for both
high school and college
students as well as jour-
nalists already in the in-
dustry. Bruce oversees
both MPA subgroups.
MPA has existed since
1866 and has 105 mem-
ber newspapers, 15 daily
and 90 non-daily. The
ratio is probably compa-
rable to other states, but
Mississippi has fewer
daily papers because it
has fewer “large popula-
tion centers that support
a daily paper,” Bruce told
The Dispatch.
MPA member newspa-
pers or their online prod-
ucts reached eight out
of 10 Mississippi house-
holds in the past week,
and newspapers increase
the effectiveness of ad-
vertising campaigns by
three times, Bruce said.
Roughly half the pa-
pers in MPA are fam-
ily-owned, but The
Dispatch is the only fam-
ily-owned daily newspa-
per in the state. Corpora-
tions have tightened their
hold on the newspaper
industry nationwide over
the last several years.
Even so, a Jackson-ar-
ea entrepreneur named
Clay Mansell has start-
ed five print newspa-
pers since 2011, in Long
Beach, Wesson, Canton,
Pelahatchie and Clinton,
Bruce said. Starting a
paper from scratch is a
challenge because pub-
lic trust in a newspaper
comes largely from how
long it has been in a com-
munity, he said.
Digital advertising
puts more pressure on
newspapers to produce a
product, both print and
digital, that readers want
to pay for, Bruce said.
“As newspapers wean
themselves from tradi-
tional newspaper adver-
tising, subscribers are
going to have to be the
ones to pick up more of
the cost to produce local
journalism,” he said.
When asked if newspa-
pers include millennials
in their target audience
for print, Bruce said they
“were never really our au-
dience” and more often
consume digital news,
while older generations
are more likely to read
the print product.
One Rotary member
asked “how free our press
is” when newspapers are
becoming “a commodity
and politicized.” Bruce
said the phenomenon of
“fake news,” often used
as an accusation of dis-
honesty from politicians
who dislike coverage, is
more of a national issue
than a state or local one.
“It’s definitely a suc-
cessful PR offensive,”
he said. “Newspapers,
television and radio have
always made mistakes.
The way you can tell
(between) somebody,
in my opinion, who’s en-
gaging in false news and
someone who’s made an
honest mistake is how
quickly they correct it.
Newspapers have always
been fairly reliable to set
the record straight when
there’s been an error.”
After Bruce’s speech,
Rotary president Sid
Salter said part of the
strength of print journal-
ism in Mississippi comes
from two-thirds of resi-
dents not having internet
access at home.
He said students at
MSU, where he is chief
communications officer,
sometimes come to him
with concerns about how
technology is forcing
the journalism industry
to adapt to it. Salter is a
syndicated columnist and
was MSU’s first journal-
ist-in-residence.
“I tell them, ‘It’s tough,
it’s a struggle, it’s go-
ing to get worse before
it gets better, but I want
to remind you that about
the turn of the last cen-
tury, there were a bunch
of telegraph operators
sitting around singing
the same song,’” Salter
said. “Technology has
changed, the taste of the
people receiving the in-
formation has changed
and it will continue to
change. (Bruce) does an
excellent job represent-
ing a very viable indus-
try.”

Concert

lot of times, a song would
trigger a memory for
them and could be sort of
a break-through, a way to
connect.
“That made me realize
how important music can
be,” she continued.
Depending on the
schedule, Woods may per-
form with “Top Flight” or
with other combinations
of the 50-member Band
of the West, performing a
variety of musical genres.
In “Top Flight,” Woods
is joined by another sing-
er, a guitarist, bassists,
drummer, pianist and au-
dio engineer.
“It’s basically rock and
pop hits from the 1960s
until the present,” she
said.
Woods said as a mem-
ber of the Air Force band,
there are three main
goals: Honor, inspire and
connect.
“When we are travel-
ing and performing, we
want to honor our veter-
ans through our music,”
she said. “We want to
inspire people to join the
Air Force, so there’s a re-
cruiting element to what
we do. Finally, we want
to connect with people.
Columbus is an Air Force
town, so we’re very happy
to be able to perform this
concert for the communi-
ty.”
Smith said he was
thrilled to work with
CAFB and Main Street to
bring the concert to the
Riverwalk.
“This will be a wonder-
ful evening of entertain-
ment for the entire fam-
ily,” he said. “Top Flight

habilitation.
David Todd Johnson of Glen was
sentenced to 15 years in prison af-
ter pleading guilty last month to
kidnapping, armed robbery and
jail escape in Lee County Circuit
Court. The Northeast Mississippi
Daily Journal reports the 50-year-
old Johnson is likely to remain im-
prisoned until 2050 because of prior
convictions.
Prosecutors say Johnson cut
off an electronic monitoring ankle
bracelet in June 2017 and escaped
from God’s House of Hope rehab
center in Nettleton.
Johnson appeared at a Nettleton
home, asking for work to earn mon-
ey. A resident gave Johnson $20 for
odd jobs, but Johnson robbed the
man’s father at knifepoint and duct-
taped the 73-year-old to a chair,
stealing a phone and pickup. John-
son was arrested later that day in
Tishomingo County.
During his initial appearance,
Johnson told the judge he wasn’t
mad at the victim. “I was mad at
someone else. I was trying to get
back to Corinth to kill him,” he said
before Lee County Justice Court
Judge Sadie Holland.

Holistic approach
to preservation is
long-overdue
This week, a group of people who own
many of Columbus’ antebellum homes, have
announced their intentions to take over
operations of the 79-year-old Pilgrimage,
which is currently the domain of the Co-
lumbus Cultural Heritage Foundation and
primarily funded by the Columbus-Lown-
des Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The homeowners have formed a new
group — Preservation Society of Columbus
— with the goal of restoring operations of
the Pilgrimage to themselves, which was
how the Pilgrimage operated in its early
days.
The group believes it can be more suc-
cessful in not only staging Pilgrimage but
raising funds to extend preservation efforts
far beyond its current scope.
“Pilgrimage can’t just be about a few rich
white people and their homes,” is how one
group member put it.
Indeed, the survival of the Pilgrimage
State of the World

inclusive story of the history of Columbus.
The homeowners are requesting the

long been painfully clear

money provided to the CCHF from the CVB
for Pilgrimage each year will go to their
group. Based on estimates by the group,
about one-third of the money provided
to the CCHF goes toward administrative
costs, largely salaries.
Preservation Society of Columbus
believes those administrative costs can be
reduced and used instead to expand preser-
vation beyond antebellum homes.
“We want to preserve all cultures, not
just what you might call antebellum cul-
ture,” said the group’s president, Dick
Leike, who owns two historic Columbus
homes.
The group’s plans call for an ambitious
approach to the Pilgrimage, which it be-
lieves can help raise money for preservation
of many historic places in the community
which have never quite fit into the old idea
of what should be preserved and protected.
That includes efforts to preserve the re-
maining history of our city’s black commu-
nity, which has largely been ignored.
We applaud the group’s mission and
encourage the CVB and CCHF to open a
dialogue with the homeowners group. The
new preservation group says the decision
by antebellum homeowners to take over Pil-
grimage operations was unanimous. This
need not be a fight between the homeown-
ers and the CCHF over the control of the
Pilgrimage, but rather, a partnership.
As a practical matter, there can be a Pil-
grimage without the CCHF, but there can
be no Pilgrimage without the homeowners.
It makes sense that the homeowners have
operational control of this event if they want
it. They are the ones with skin in the game.
In getting back to the roots of how the
Pilgrimage began, the homeowners are
also presenting a vision of preserving not
just a portion of our city’s rich history, but
all of it.
We strongly support this holistic ap-
proach to preservation.

‘Way too extreme’: Some Democrats warn against moving left

While the party’s coastal elites demand bold liberal policies, working
class voters in the Midwest are warning presidential candidates to
move to the middle or risk giving President Trump another four years
By STEVE PEOPLES
AP National Political Writer
BEAVER, Pa. — The Dem-
ocrats of Beaver County, Penn-
sylvania, crowded onto the steps
of a local courthouse, dozens of
union men protesting a looming
power plant closure that would
put their livelihoods at risk.
The crowd was overwhelm-
ingly white and male, and few
had college degrees. Left un-
said, at least from the podium,
were broader concerns about a
national Democratic Party many
believe no longer represents
them.
“Democrats are becoming
way too extreme,” Shaun Ma-
jors, a 42-year-old high school
graduate who has worked at the
nearby Beaver Valley Power Sta-
tion for almost his entire adult
life, said before last week’s event
began. “I voted for Trump last
time, and I would again.”
A few days earlier, tens of
thousands of Democrats crowd-
ed into a Manhattan park, cheer-
ing Elizabeth Warren’s calls for
“Medicare for All,” a crackdown
on gun violence and the end
of the fossil fuel industry. The
crowd was ethnically diverse,
heavily female and highly edu-
cated — people like 41-year-old
Kelly Hafermann of Brooklyn,
who has a master’s degree and
works at an Ivy League universi-
ty not far away.
“I want the bold ideas,” Hafer-
mann said, praising the leftward
shift of her party’s politics. “I
want to be around people who
feel the same way.”
The dueling scenes illustrate
the high-stakes debate playing
out among Democrats just over
four months before the party be-
gins to select its next presiden-
tial nominee. While the party’s
coastal elites demand bold lib-
eral policies, working class vot-
ers in the Midwest are warning
presidential candidates to move
to the middle or risk giving Pres-
ident Donald Trump another
four years in the White House.
The highly educated urban
Democrats may be the most vo-
cal, particularly on Twitter. But
it is the working class in places
like Beaver County who may ul-
timately decide Trump’s fate.
None of the dozen or so union
workers interviewed at a pro-
test late last week had Twitter
accounts. None had four-year
college degrees. And few were
committed to voting Democrat
in 2020, although most were reg-
istered as such.
Daniel Keener, a 72-year-
old Democrat who retired after
more than two decades at the
nearby power plant, said his par-
ty has moved “way too far left.”
“Every one of them wants to
take my gun,” said Keener, mo-
tioning to the handgun clipped
to his left pocket. He said he’s
committed to Trump in 2020, but
he’ll likely maintain his Demo-
cratic registration because he’s
“a union man” and his family has
a long history with the party.
Republicans suffered sweep-
ing losses in the 2018 mid-
term elections in part because
Trump’s turbulent leadership
style and divisive policies have
alienated women. But he won the
presidency in 2016 on the backs
of working class men in Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan and Wisconsin,
states that hadn’t backed a Re-
publican for president in almost
two decades.
Beaver County, a region just
outside Pittsburgh set along
the Ohio border, is one of 14
counties in Pennsylvania that
Trump carried in 2016 where
Democrats had a registration ad-
vantage. There were more than
59,000 registered Democrats
and 40,000 registered Repub-
licans in the county that year,
but Trump ultimately carried
Beaver County by almost 16,000
votes, according to data com-
piled by The Associated Press.

James V. Carr, Jr., affectionately know as
‘Coach’, passed away at his residence, Saturday,
September 21st. Often seen with either a ten-
nis racket in his left hand or wearing a bow tie,
Coach was born July 17, 1925, to James V. Carr
and Mary Wall Carr.
After graduation from Clinton High School in
1943, he served in the United States Navy during
World War 2 as a lieutenant junior grade naviga-
tor, graduating from Naval Air Navigation School
in 1945. Coach married Mary Josephine Taylor
November 1, 1948. Coach then graduated from
Mississippi College in 1949, lettering in basket-
ball. He received his Masters Degree in 1956 and
his Advanced Masters Degree in 1967 from Mis-
sissippi State University.
Carr began his education career at Stephen D.
Lee High School in 1949, where he taught histo-
ry and served as assistant football coach, head
basketball and baseball coach, track coach and
principal during his tenure. Many are the stories
to tell from his former students and players of
Carr’s championship coaching days.
In 1971, after working as principal of Lee High
school for 11 years, Coach was elected Assistant
Superintendent of Education for the Columbus
Public Schools. In 1975, he was elected Superin-
tendent, where he worked until his retirement in
1987.
A founding member of the Magnolia Tennis
Club, Coach could be found there daily, even
at the age of 94. In 1950, Carr joined the Lion’s
Club, where he served as President.
Coach enjoyed volunteering his time with First
United Methodist Church’s Loaves and Fishes
Ministry and calling BINGO to the residents of
Vineyard Court Nursing home.
Faith and Family were the most important
things to Carr. He was a member of First Unit-
ed Methodist Church for 70 years. ‘Dede’, as
his grandchildren and great-grandchildren af-
fectionately called him, enjoyed time with his
extended family in the Mississippi Delta, and at-
tending gymnastics meets and ball games of his
great-grandchildren.
Along with his parents, Mr. Carr is preceded
in death by his wife, Mary Josephine Taylor Carr;
his sons, James V. “Jimmy” Carr, III and Robert
“Jeffrey” Carr; brother, Robert Earl Carr, Sr.;

landslides from Karen

Island also experienced a
magnitude-6.0 earthquake Monday
The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto
Rico — Forecasters said
Tropical Storm Karen
would unleash heavy rains
across the northeastern
Caribbean on Tuesday
that could cause flooding
and landslides in Puerto
Rico and nearby islands.
As the storm ap-
proached, Puerto Ricans
were trying to compose
themselves after being
shaken from their beds
late Monday by a magni-
tude-6.0 earthquake that
hit in the Atlantic near the
island at a shallow depth
of 6 miles. Three after-
shocks, of magnitude 4.7
and 4.6, followed within
less than an hour.
No damage was report-
ed, and communications
after the quake were swift
because authorities were
already on duty for Kar-
en, said Kiara Hernández,
spokeswoman for Puerto
Rico’s emergency man-
agement agency.
Schools and govern-
ment offices were already
ordered closed in Puerto
Rico as well as in the U.S.
and British Virgin Islands,
with officials warning peo-
ple to stay indoors.
“We’ve had a number
of these events now, and
I know it’s like the little
boy who cried wolf, but
I’m urging the public to
remain ever vigilant,” U.S.

The power of pistachios,

The Modesto Nuts, a farm

the almonds, walnuts and pista-

Potent choices! Spanish re-

men’s libido and orgasm quality.
In a study published in Nutri-

half of them added around 2 ounc-

Sexual dysfunction affects
around 52 percent of guys 40 to 70;
85 percent over age 80. But it isn’t
inevitable; it’s the result of smok-

other things. So, if your libido
is lagging or you’re struggling
with orgasm quality, talk to your
doc to make sure chronic health

strengthen your

ditching red and

opting for 100 per-

and seven to nine
servings a day of
fresh produce to
go along with your

Kicking the ultraprocessed
food habit
Nick Saban, the famous football three ways you can begin to pro-
coach for LSU and Alabama (his
college coaching record is 232-
63-1), found that focusing on “the
process” was the key to success:
“Don’t think about winning the
SEC Championship ... think about
what you needed to do ... in this
moment. That’s the process: Let’s
think about what we can do today,
the task at hand.”
So let’s focus on the ultrap-
rocess, which is something that
happens to much of today’s food.
Let’s think about the unhealthy
ingredients and the task at hand:
the process of avoiding unhealthy
foods you love but that don’t love
you back!
Researchers from Northwest-
ern University Feinberg School of
Medicine analyzed over 230,000
food products and found that 86
percent of those made by the
top 25 food manufacturers were
ultraprocessed!
These foods,
containing added
salt, sugar, oils,
unhealthy fats and
chemicals used to
imitate the taste,
smell and tex-
ture of minimally
processed foods,
increase your risk
for cardiovascular
disease, memory
loss, cancer and
more.
But their prevalence makes
them hard to avoid. So here are
cess ultraprocessed foods out of
your life.
1. Start somewhere! Add one
piece of fruit to lunch and a salad
(EVOO and lemon dressing) to
dinner, whatever else is on your
plate.
2. Substitute water, unsweet tea
and black coffee for other bever-
ages.
3. Beware deceptive packaging:
“Fat free” often means added sug-
ar; “sugar free” may mean added
artificial ingredients. Opt for foods
with as few ingredients on the
label as possible or unpackaged,
plant foods with no label at all!

marily through proceeds
from a 2-percent restau-

from customers at restau-

CVB provides more
than $200,000 annually
to the CCHF, which stag-

with Fireworks on the

$247,840 for the CCHF.
The Columbus Pil-

Mississippi State Bulldogs quarterback Garrett Shrader (6) runs the ball against the Kentucky Wildcats during the fourth quarter Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.

BY BEN PORTNOY

appears the only constant
in the Mississippi State

is persistent inconsisten-
cy.

proved from last season,

OPPONENT PREVIEW
Getting to know the Auburn Tigers
By GARRICK HODGE
ghodge@cdispatch.com
Justin Lee is in his sec-
ond year of covering Au-
burn for The Opelika-Au-
burn News.
Lee spoke to The Dis-
patch this week ahead of
Mississippi State’s up-
coming matchup with the
Tigers Saturday to dis-
cuss Gus Malzahn, fresh-
man quarterback Bo Nix
and more.
Q: There probably
wasn’t an SEC coach
with a hotter seat at
the start of the year
than Gus Malzahn. He
seems to have nipped
the noise for now. How
impressive is this ear-
ly success considering
how much pressure he
was under to start the
year?
A: It’s hard to discern
where the bark is and
where the bite is with all
that talk, to be honest
with you, but he certain-
vens is apparently dealing
with a separate complica-
tion.
“On Monday, at that
point, he was better than
he was the week before,
but what I didn’t clarify
is that it was a different
mechanism,” Moorhead
said Monday. “It was still
an upper-body injury but
it was something a little
bit different than he had
the week before and as
the week went on he just
wasn’t able to go with it.”
With Stevens side-
lined, freshman Garrett
Shrader has been plen-
ty capable in his place.
Shrader, a mid-year en-
rollee from Charlotte, has
completed 28 of 45 passes
ly felt the need to revamp
what he’s doing and take
back the driver’s seat
on play-calling after last
year’s lackluster season.
I’d say it’s pretty impres-
sive for a few reasons,
including the fact that he
had to replace a quarter-
back and a middle line-
backer among so many
other key positions, and
new faces have plugged
right in and the team
has grown. Where some
might have thought the
wheels were going to
fall off, the program has
still trended upward, to
at least some certain de-
gree, despite all the talk.
Q: Freshman quar-
terback Bo Nix doesn’t
have eye-popping num-
bers, but the intangi-
bles have looked great
from the outside. Joe
Moorhead said in his
press conference Mon-
day he recruited Nix
when Moorhead was
at Penn State and said
he’s been impressed

for 302 yards in three ap-
pearances.
More pressing, Moor-
head also noted that
should Stevens not be
able to go Saturday
against Auburn, Shrader
will start — further cloud-
ing Keytaon Thompson’s
availability this season.
Thompson is report-
edly continuing to rehab
from an upper body injury
and has been practicing.
Hill maintaining
historic pace
While the MSU quar-
terback conundrum is
still ongoing, junior run-
ning back Kylin Hill re-
mains a stalwart in the

Bulldog backfield.
Through four games,
Hill is the third-leading
rusher in the country and
is the only FBS player in
the nation to open the
season with four-straight
100-yard games.
And though he has pro-
duced at a historic output
thus far, his uptick in us-
age is as much a reflection
on Moorhead’s approach
as it has been the Colum-
bus native’s ability.
Since Moorhead took
over as the head coach
at Fordham in 2012, his
running backs have aver-
aged 251.14 attempts per
year — including Hill’s
117-carry campaign in
2018.
John Glazer/USA TODAY Sports
With 91 carries on the
year already, Hill is well
on his way to eclipsing
his injury-shortened total
from last year — some-
thing Moorhead is plenty
comfortable with.
“I would’ve loved to
have had a tailback have
this many carries last
year,” Moorhead said.
“But what we were doing
and how we were success-
ful and, as I’ve mentioned
before, needing to utilize
the quarterback in the
run game — that took
some of the carries out of
the tailbacks workload.
“Now that we’re throw-
ing it better we’re seeing
more advantageous num-
bers and we’re able to get
with Nix going back to
his high school days.
What’s been your im-
pression of the young
signal caller?
A: It’s impressive to me
that he’s the same dynam-
ic playmaker that he was
in high school. You’re nev-
er certain if the impact a
player has on the game is
going to translate to the
next level, but for him,
it has. He’s still quick,
even against college de-
fenders, and even more
impressive, he’s still a
quick thinker, even on the
big stage. The numbers
will come from consisten-
cy, which will come if he
keeps getting better. For
now, Auburn’s excited to
have a gunslinger and an
attack-mode quarterback
back behind center for
the first time in a while.
Q: Despite Missis-
sippi State running for
nearly 400 yards in
last year’s 23-9 victo-
ry over the Tigers, the

en looks loaded with
Derrick Brown and
K.J. Britt leading the
charge. That said, MSU
boasts one of the best
running backs in the
SEC in Kylin Hill. What
do you make of that
matchup?
A: It’ll be fun. Auburn’s
defensive line is nasty. At
linebacker, Auburn re-
placed an experienced,
sharp, all-senior group
that led the defense last
season, but the Tigers
did so with new lineback-
ers who were even more
highly touted coming out
of high school and, if the
analysis holds, have an
even better upside athlet-
ically. Auburn’s second in
the SEC in rush defense
and the Tigers held Texas

to give Hill a challenge.

Royals manager Yost to retire
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
— Ned Yost did some-
thing that few thought
possible when he took
over the Kansas City Roy-
als in 2010: He not only
built the organization into
a winner but delivered the
long-suffering organiza-
tion its first World Series
title in three decades.
Now, he’s leaving the
next rebuilding job to
someone else.
Yost announced Mon-
day that he will be retiring
at the end of the season,
ending a nine-year tenure
that included two Ameri-
can League pennants and
that dramatic 2015 cham-
pionship.
The announcement
came on an off-day for
the Royals, who lost 12-8
on Sunday to the AL Cen-
tral-leading Twins to fall
to 57-100 — their second
consecutive season with
at least 100 losses.
The Royals wrap up
their season — and their
skipper’s big league man-
agerial career — with two
games against the Braves
beginning Tuesday night,
then a weekend series at
home against Minnesota.
The 65-year-old Yost,
who has been on a year-
to-year contract, will re-
tire as the club’s career
wins leader with 744 to
date. He is the only man-
ager to lead the Royals to
back-to-back World Se-
ries, losing to the Giants
in seven games in 2014
and beating the Mets in
five the following year.
“I’ve thoroughly en-
joyed my time here as
your manager and will
never forget the good and
the hard times we had to-
gether as an organization
and a fan base,” Yost said.
“I will never forget the
fact that you fans support-
ed us through it all. Kan-
sas City will always have a
special place in my heart,
and I look forward to root-
ing the Royals on to their
next world championship
very soon.”
Yost and general man-
ager Dayton Moore are
expected to address re-
porters on Tuesday.
Like many small-mar-
ket clubs, the Royals were
forced to gut their roster
after their stunning run of
success once their foun-
dational stars became too
expensive to keep. That
began a massive rebuild-
ing effort last year that
has continued into this
season.
Yet unlike last season,
the Royals showed signs
of hope this summer.
Building blocks such
as shortstop Adalberto
Mondesi, third baseman
Hunter Dozier and out-
fielder Jorge Soler — who
broke the franchise re-
cord for homers in a sea-
son — gave Royals fans
a reason to return to the
ballpark, while a bevy
of talented pitchers in
the minor leagues offers
more hope for the future.
“With the development
of our young players and
our returning veterans, I
feel and hope the worst is
behind us in this rebuild-
ing phase of our organiza-
tion,” Yost said. “My plan
all along was to get us
through the rough times
then turn it over to a new
manager to bring us the
rest of the way.”
The Royals are not ex-
pected to move quickly in
hiring Yost’s replacement,
though bench coach Dale
Sveum and special advis-
er Mike Matheny would
provide their young core
with a seamless transi-
tion.
Both of them have
managerial experience,

Yost began his career
in baseball as a catcher

Rangers and Expos be-

ing.
That’s where he ulti-
mately made a name for

After a long tenure
on Bobby Cox’s staff in

the Brewers in 2003 and
immediately set about re-
building that franchise.
He had them within sight
of the postseason in 2008
when he was fired with just
12 games remaining in the
regular season.
Sveum guided them
into the playoffs, where
they lost to Philadelphia in
the divisional round.
Yost got a second
chance to rebuild a fran-
chise when he took over
for Hillman in Kansas City.
The once-proud organiza-
tion had just one winning
season since 1993, and had
not reached the playoffs
since beating the Cardi-
nals to win the Royals’ only
World Series title in 1985.
The Royals lost at least
90 games in each of Yost’s
first two seasons, but with
young stars such as Eric
Hosmer and Mike Mous-
takas arriving, they had fi-
nally become competitive.
They won 86 games the
following year and finally
broke through in 2014, ad-
vancing all the way to the
World Series.

used to be.

Jags’ Ramsey misses practice with illness amid trade demand
The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
— Jacksonville Jaguars
cornerback Jalen Ramsey
missed practice Monday
because of an apparent
illness, potentially adding
another twist to his trade
request.
Coach Doug Marrone
said Ramsey notified
the team trainer Sunday
night, three days after a
20-7 victory over Tennes-
see in the rain and one
week after the disgruntled
defender called his agent
and said “my time is up
here in Jacksonville.”
Marrone said Ramsey
was scheduled to meet
with a team doctor Mon-
day. Ramsey was spotted
leaving the facility later in

the day and getting into a
waiting car.
“Depending on the type
of sickness, then they’ll
stay away because, obvi-
ously, you don’t want to get
anyone else sick,” Mar-
rone said. “It’s happened.
I don’t want to exagger-
ate and say hundreds of
times, but it’s happened
quite a bit. It’s happened
here since I’ve been the
head coach a couple times.
“To me, it’s nothing
as big, but I understand
that’s probably a big sto-
ry because of the other
things that are surround-
ing it.”
Marrone declined to
speculate about the curi-
ous timing of Ramsey’s
unspecified ailment.
“I’m not getting into

that — odd or anything,” he
said. “If you’re sick, you’re
sick, right? What are you
going to do?”
Ramsey started and
played against the Titans,
and then hugged fellow de-
fensive backs on the field af-
ter the game in what many
teammates believed was a
goodbye.
Ramsey declined to
talk about a potential trade
afterward. The Jaguars,
meanwhile, would prefer to
keep rather than trade their
star defender.
“I don’t know what’s go-
ing to happen,” fellow cor-
nerback A.J. Bouye said.
“None of us do. We can’t
really focus on that.”
Bouye acknowledged
that all the trade talk involv-
ing Ramsey last week was
a distraction in the locker
room and on the field.
“I think that was the
worst it was going to get,
but we all handled it well,”
he said. “We’ve got to fo-
cus on this week, but de-
pending on how things
go, maybe people’s minds
will change, maybe the
narrative will change on
everything. We’ll see how
it goes.”
Jacksonville (1-2) plays
at Denver (0-3) on Sunday.
Ramsey has developed
into one of the league’s top
cornerbacks and hasn’t
missed a game — or a start
— in his four-year career.
His Week 2 outing against
Houston star DeAndre
Hopkins was one of the best
defensive performances in
franchise history.

Tuesday, September 24, 2019
The Jaguars want to
repair Ramsey’s fractured
relationship with the fran-
chise, specifically with top
executive Tom Coughlin.
Ramsey told the Uninter-
rupted “17 Weeks” pod-
cast that his trade request
stemmed from “some
disrespectful things said
on their end” in a meeting
after Jacksonville’s loss at
Houston on Sept. 15.
“Requesting the trade
... it’s kind of been building
over time,” Ramsey said on
the podcast. “It has nothing
to do with my teammates
here. It has nothing to do
with the city. ... But it’s more
so with the front office and
the organization.”
Jacksonville told Ram-
sey during the offseason
that it had no plans to pay
why you are not
included during
these visits. Your
parents may not
have told you
they were in town
because they were
asked not to or
didn’t want to hurt
your feelings. I
think it’s time for a
family discussion,
don’t you?
DEAR ABBY:

feeling when this moment finally
happened to me. We haven’t set
a wedding date, nor am I thrilled
about getting married.
I love this person and appre-
ciate him, but I feel like I should
be over-the-moon about spending
forever with him. Do these blase
feelings mean this isn’t the right
person for me, or that I’m simply
not ready for the next step? —

him with two years remain-
ing on his rookie deal.
Although Ramsey caus-
es as many headaches for
his own team as he does
opponents, there’s little
doubt the Jags would have a
difficult time replacing him
— even if they received two
first-round picks in a trade.
“You can’t focus on hy-
potheticals, like, ‘Hey, what
about this or is this happen-
ing?’” Marrone said. “You
don’t know, and the thing
that happens is when you
start changing your emo-
tion on that or you start
leaning one way or the
other, you’re not just deal-
ing with actually (what is)
just happening right on
the practice field, in the
meeting rooms, on the
games.
DEAR GIRL: Real life isn’t like
it is portrayed in the movies and
on television. There is no cook-
ie-cutter reaction to receiving a
proposal. Many women would be
thrilled to receive a proposal of
marriage from a man who is kind,
smart and with whom they can
be themselves. (I am not imply-
ing that this should be you.)
My recommendation is that
you two have a LONG engage-
ment as well as premarital
counseling, so you can both
determine what’s important to
you and if you are on the same
page. Frankly, these discussions
should have started well before
a proposal.

reaction was, “It doesn’t look
bad,” and, “If you like it, that’s
all that matters.” I can’t help but
feel slighted and a little hurt. Am
I being too sensitive? — HURT IN
WASHINGTON
DEAR HURT: Maybe. Your
husband is entitled to his reac-
tion, and he was honest with you.
Would you have preferred that he
lie? If you like the new hairstyle,
keep it. If you are having second
thoughts, remember it’s not an
arm or a leg; it’s only hair, and it
will grow.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Stories are powerful. A story
can be a weapon, a vehicle,
a seduction or an identity.
Your own personal stories are
worth caring for as you would
other cherished things. Repeat
stories to find the best way to
tell them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Why do you think people come
to you instead of doing the
millions of other things they
could be doing? There’s a good
reason. To understand that rea-
son is to appreciate your own
inherently lovable qualities.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Anticipate disruption instead of
fearing it or going on like it will
never happen. Your path will
be littered with obstacles, but
you are wide awake and ready
to swerve, jump or conquer as
necessary.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). If you’re afraid to say
what’s on your mind or let your
guard down, there had better be
a good reason — maybe you’re
being paid to take on a role. If
not, what are you doing with
people you can’t be yourself
around?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Wherever you are, the sign
will meet you there — it’s the
sting of a cat scratch; it’s what
the wild waves say; it’s the par-
lance of posies. You’ll translate
sensations, decode experience,
and you’ll just know.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Falling in love, like all fall-
ing, implies a loss of balance.
But real love is different from
that disorienting infatuation
stage. Real love provides
foundation. It strengthens and
builds you. You’re more solid
because of it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). There’s a decision or some
knowledge you arrive at inside
yourself before the work is
done. This is the true takeaway
from the work and perhaps its
real purpose, though one that’s
always hidden by the more
tangible results.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). It all matters. Not one ex-
change is meaningless. Still, it’s
a matter of pacing yourself and
finding the glad nexus between
the quality of attention you
want to bring to a thing and the
quality of attention it demands
or prefers.
