PILGRIMAGE KICKOFF Mississippi

lawmakers plan
to borrow $360M
for projects
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press

JACKSON — Mis-
sissippi lawmakers
on Thursday agreed
to borrow more
than $360 million
to finance construc-
tion, industrial de-
velopment and local Smith
projects that are
much-coveted in an election year.
The House and Senate passed
Senate Bill 3065, which includes
$207 million in borrowing, al-
though the House held it for the
possibility of more debate. Other
money has already been borrowed
in separate bills, including $45 mil-
lion to aid improvements at Ingalls
Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, $86
million to fund economic develop-
ment at the Mississippi Develop-
ment Authority and $12.5 million
for a home for medically fragile
children in Jackson.
Many Democrats complained
that Republican leaders left them
off the list for projects.

Lawmakers approve $1,500 pay
raise for Mississippi teachers
‘Send the bill back so we can give the teachers the pay
raise they deserve. We’re talking about a pay raise
that amounts to a little more than a Happy Meal.’
State Senate Democratic Minority Leader Derrick Simmons of Greenville
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi law-
makers on Thursday gave final ap-
proval to a $1,500 pay raise for the
state’s public school teachers begin-
ning July 1, sending it to Gov. Phil
Bryant for his approval or veto.

Union Academy
Continued from Page 1A
Board members met
with Labat at Union Acad-
emy — located at 1425
10th Ave. N. — Thursday
for a tour of the building
and to hear a report on the
scope of needed repairs.
CMSD has not used the
campus since 2008 but
plans to move the Success
Academy there, along with
other programs that were
housed at Hunt, by August.
CSA students were moved
to the high school after
the storm, where they will
remain for the rest of the
school year.
Union Academy, once
renovated, will also serve
as a contingency school to
relocate students if anoth-
er campus is damaged in
the future.
“We are going to make
this (Union Academy) a vi-
brant and colorful school,”
Labat said. “There’s a lot of
history here.”
The first step is getting
the building “operational”
and “effective.”
Andrews, who spoke to
The Dispatch on Thursday
afternoon, said the largest
costs will go toward me-
chanical issues, such as
heating and cooling units.
Spears pointed out the ma-
jority of the work would
be roof repairs, fixing the
awning on the front of the
building, identifying and
fixing the water leaks as
well as a “good, hard clean-
up.”
While board members
walked through the halls of
Union Academy Thursday
morning, each pointed out
water stains on the floor,
broken tiles and windows
that needed to be repaired
and walls that needed to be
painted.
“To be honest, I was
pleased with what I saw,”
board member Fredrick
Sparks said. “It’s good we
still have the building and it
can really bring back some
more life to this area.”
The initial focus, Labat
said, would be to add se-
curity details. During the
tour, board members no-
ticed a back door with glass
shattered. Labat said add-
ing video cameras would
be one of the first steps to
prevent people from break-
ing into the facility.
Even with minor roof
damage and floor damage
throughout the school,
board members were gen-
erally impressed with the
shape of the facility that
hasn’t housed students in
more than a decade. Orig-

Our View

Starkville’s citizens need to know how ‘public’ new sportsplex will be

Now that the Legisla-
ture has approved a 1-per-
cent increase in the city of
Starkville’s restaurant tax,
city officials are meeting to
plan exactly how they will
proceed pending a vote by
Starkville citizens.
The additional revenue is
earmarked for recreation and
much of it will go to a now
sports facility at Cornerstone
Park, which is estimated to
cost between $18 million and
$22 million to build. Once
finished, the city expects the
venue to be an economic boost
for the city, attracting teams
from throughout the state for
tournaments, filling hotels
and restaurants and fattening
the city’s tax receipts.
Based on their early talks,
it seems certain the city will
hire a private company to
operate the facility.
That makes a lot of sense.
The sports tournament
business is lucrative, but also
highly competitive. Finding a
private company with a proven
track record in this niche
makes perfectly good sense.
Even so, there are potential
problems with this kind of
arrangement.
Public-private projects can
be successful, but they can
also create tension when one
party’s interest conflicts with
the other’s.
Tentatively, the plans for
the management of the Cor-
nerstone Park call for the city
to subsidize the management
company over the course
of several years before the
management company relies
on revenues from the facility
for funding.
When that happens, there
is a potential for conflict.
The management compa-
ny is not a nonprofit. It will
expect to make money. That
will naturally be its greatest
priority.
In some cases, that has cre-
ated a situation where public
access is greatly limited. At
some venues, the facilities are
closed not only on tournament
weekends, but in the days
leading up to the tournaments
as the fields are prepared for
the weekend.
How much and how often
will the facility be available for
residents? That’s an important
question.
It is a potential problem the
city must carefully consider as
it negotiates its contract with a
management company.
It is important to remember
that this project is funded by
tax dollars and is presented
as a public service for city
residents.
Residents have every right
to expect that they will be able
to use the facility.
There is a balance that
must be maintained. Certain-
ly, there is a benefit from the
revenues produced by attract-
ing tournament play. But there
is also the need to ensure that
folks can use the facility their
tax dollars paid for.
When voters go to the polls
to determine whether or not
to approve the additional tax,
they will likely need some
assurances of that.

Our View: Saying goodbye to
online comments
Publisher’s note: In Thurs-
day’s edition of The Dispatch, we
announced the disbanding of the
online comment feature at cdis-
patch.com. Ironically, the thought-
ful comments posted below that
announcement online are the type
comments we wished would appear
under every article. Below is a
sampling of those comments.

frank: I think you are about to

disable one of the biggest factors
that bring people to the website. I
also think more good comes from
the comments, even the sarcastic
ones, than harm. Quite often
many ideas and local factors
never considered by the press
or the politicians are brought to
light by the commentators. I also
think the “threat” of a commen-
tator pointing out omissions and
inaccuracies in articles spur your
writers to do better research
before going to press. Net net
the comments make it a better
paper. The profanity and personal
attacks need to be policed better
but a little sarcasm and criticism
of the policies and writers are
good for the paper and commu-
nity.
KJ705: It is, after all, your
soapbox. I will miss the opportu-
nity to provide direct feedback to
city officials, who are naturally
somewhat defensive as, I think,
they should be given some of
the shenanigans we’ve seen
over the years - the previous
DA, sunshine and open records
violations, financial foolishness,
and numerous CVB issues. I
personally believe comments
have made positive contributions
overall, especially on topics of
local governance and justice, and
healthcare and the ACA. Thank
you for allowing us the opportu-
nity to participate and the overall
graciousness displayed while
putting up with us for as long as
you have. And, most of all, thank
you for allowing us our functional
anonymity, which I consider es-
pecially important when it comes
to criticism of the local civic and
judicial systems.
slack water: This is a tough
one. I can see both sides. I am
tired of seeing the same com-
ments on social media and here.
Ninety-five percent of people post
something that contains these
words (especially on Facebook):
sad, wow, and thugs. It’s tired.
One hundred percent of posters
are desperate to be the star. Any-
thing they can find to complain
about, they will. ... Maybe it’s best
that everyone not have a stage.
Or at least the CD’s stage.
Taka Yama: I’m not surprised,
although I am quite sad to see
this happen. Probably most of us
who are at least 60-years-old have
witnessed our nation’s morals, de-
cency, and dignity decline. I have
enjoyed commenting, especially
on the historical articles Rufus
writes. He is a great historian
and a great writer/storyteller. So,
since I cannot comment any lon-
ger, I’ll say my future comments
of a big “Thank You Rufus,” for
your work for us. And, some oth-
er people here too. Thanks.
State of the world
Must the West beg the world for forgiveness?
As the Democratic Party
quarrels over reparations for
slavery, a new and related
issue has arisen, raised by
the president of Mexico.
Andres Manuel Lopez
Obrador has written Pope
Francis I and King Felipe VI
to demand their apologies
for the Spanish conquest of
Mexico that began 500 years
ago with the “invasion” of
Hernando Cortez. Patrick Buchanan
Arriving on the Gulf
Coast in 1519, Cortes
marched in two years to what is today’s
Mexico City to impose Spanish rule,
the Spanish language and culture, and
the Catholic faith upon the indigenous
peoples.
“One culture, one civilization was
imposed upon another,” wrote Presi-
dent Lopez Obrador: “There were mas-
sacres and oppression. The so-called
conquest was waged with the sword
and the cross. They built their church-
es on top of the temples.”
He demanded that the king and the
pope ask for “forgiveness for the abuses from Italy for the invasion of Gaul by
inflicted on the indigenous peoples of
Mexico.”
Now no one denies that great sins
and crimes were committed in that con- with Pope Francis who is into begging
quest. But are not the Mexican people,
130 million of them, far better off be-
cause the Spanish came and overthrew
the Aztec Empire?
Did not 300 years of Spanish rule
and replacement of Mexico’s pagan
cults with the Catholic faith lead to
enormous advances for its civilization
and human rights?
Or is there never a justification for
one nation to invade another, conquer
its people, impose its rule, and uproot
and replace its culture and civilization?
Is “cultural genocide” always a crime
against humanity, even if the uprooted
culture countenanced human sacrifice? ern leaders -- not only Barack Obama
Did the Aztecs have a right to be left -- are very much into this apology fad.
alone by the European world?
If so, whence came that right?
Which leads to another question:
Are all civilizations and
cultures equal, or are some
more equal than others? Are
some superior?
Before recent decades,
most Americans were
taught to believe the West
stood above all other civili-
zations, and America was its
supreme manifestation. And
much of the world seemed
to agree.
As for the assertion that
all civilizations and cultures
are equal, that is an ideolog-
ical statement. But where is the histor-
ic, scientific or empirical evidence to
support that proposition? How many
people really believe that?
Spain’s Foreign Minister Josep Bor-
rell said it was “weird to receive now
this request for an apology for events
that occurred 500 years ago.”
He wondered if Spain should seek an
apology from France for the invasion
of the Iberian Peninsula and crimes
committed by the armies of Napoleon,
or if France could demand an apology
Julius Caesar?
Unlikely to get an apology from the
king, Lopez Obrador may do better
for forgiveness for crimes committed in
the Spanish-Portuguese conquest and
rule of South America.
In Bolivia in 2015, the pope declared:
“I say this to you with regret. Many
grave sins were committed against the
native people of America in the name
of God. ... I humbly ask forgiveness,
not only for the offense of the church
herself, but also for crimes committed
against the native people during the so-
called conquest of America.”
As The New York Times related in
its story on the “chilly response” in Ma-
drid to Mexico’s demand, other West-
Justin Trudeau has apologized for
Canada’s mistreatment of its indigenous
peoples. France’s Emmanuel Macron
has apologized for the torture of rebels
in Algeria’s war for independence.
The Spanish right, however, is not
with the program.
Alberto Rivera, leader of the Ci-
udadanos, called Lopez Obrador’s
demand “an intolerable offense to the
Spanish people.”
Rafael Hernando of the Popular
Party dismissed it with contempt: “We
Spaniards went there (to Mexico) and
ended the power of tribes that assassi-
nated their neighbors with cruelty and
fury.”
Behind this demand for an apology
from Spain and the Church is a view
of history familiar to Americans, and
rooted in clashing concepts about who
we are, and were.
Have the Western peoples who con-
quered and changed much of the world
been, on balance, a blessing to man-
kind or a curse? Is the history of the
West, though replete with the failings
of all civilizations, not unique in the
greatness of what it produced?
Or are the West’s crimes of imperi-
alism, colonialism, genocide, racism,
slavery and maltreatment of minori-
ties of color so sweeping, hateful and
shameful they cancel out the good
done?
Is the white race, as Susan Sontag
wrote, “the cancer of human history”?
As we see the monuments and
memorials to the great men of our past
desecrated and dragged down, the
verdict among a slice of our intellec-
tual and cultural elites is already in.
Thumbs down. They agree with the
moral shakedown artist of Mexico City.
Query: Can peoples who are
ashamed of their nation’s past do great
things in its future? Or is a deep-seat-
ed national guilt, such as that which
afflicts many Germans today, a perma-
nent incapacitating feature of a nation’s
existence?

syndicated columnist, was a senior advi-
sor to presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald
Ford and Ronald Reagan. His website is

Sam Calvert, a junior at

board member, said the
group is expecting strong
turnout for Starkville
Pride this year, even if it is
less than the 3,000 people
that showed up last year.
She said the community
has, by and large, been
supportive and the time
to focus on Pride itself
has made it easier to get
everything organized.
“People have been
overwhelmingly support-
ive,” Calvert said. “We’ve
gotten a lot of sponsors,
people are wanting to
help out. We’ve got a lot
of people doing booths at
the art market. It’s been a
lot easier to get going this

Plenty of fireworks
No. 2 Diamond Dawgs hit three homers, hold on to edge No. 17 LSU in Dawgs’ workout

Mississippi State baseball
coach Chris Lemonis was
watching the fireworks.
Wandering into the Oma-
ha Room at Dudy Noble Field
later than usual Thursday
night, Lemonis said he was
taking in the postgame fes-
tivities following No. 2 MSU’s
6-5 win over No. 17 LSU.
While the exploding rock-
ets shot out from behind the
batter’s eye in center field af-
ter the final out, it was soph-
omore infielder Jordan West-
burg who helped entertain
fans ahead of the show.
Leading 3-2 in the bot-
tom of the fourth inning,
Westburg’s double to the
right-center gap gave the Dia-
mond Dawgs an all-important
insurance run en route to a
2-for-5 night.
And though he brought
the noise in the batter’s box,
it was his suspect fielding that
required it.
Leading 6-2 in the top of
the seventh inning, Westburg
booted a simple pop-up to put
LSU first baseman Cade Be-
loso on base.
Three batters later, he
moved to his right as a Josh
Smith pop-up tailed toward
the foul line.
Tracking the ball, West-
burg lost sight of sophomore
left fielder Rowdey Jordan.

der him, Jordan was forced

Seniors shine in final home SEC match for Ole Miss

From Special Reports
OXFORD – Thursday marked
a fitting finish for Ole Miss men’s
tennis seniors Fabian Fallert and
Filip Kraljevic, who provided the
spark for the Rebels in the final
SEC home match of their careers
at Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center,
downing Arkansas 4-3.
Ole Miss relied on its pair of
veterans for some spark, as Kralje-
vic picked up the first point for the
Rebels and Fallert, for the fifth time
this season, provided the clincher.
For the first time in four succes-
sive matches, the Rebels had to play
from behind, dropping the doubles
point, despite the duo of junior Tim
Sandkaulen and sophomore Finn
Reynolds leading 5-3 when the
point was clinched.
After falling behind 0-2 to be-
gin singles play, Kraljevic powered
through, taking six straight con-
tests to pick up the advantage in
the opening set 6-2. He continued
to carry momentum, controlling
the second set to a 6-3 decision and
handing the Rebels their first point
of the match.
After splitting their first two
sets, both Fallert and freshman
Simon Junk controlled their third.
Junk went on a 5-0 run, while Fall-
ert started his third on a two-game
lead.
The Ole Miss women’s team
looks to maintain its dominance at
home in SEC play, welcoming Ar-
kansas and Missouri for a pair of
key matches.
The Rebels face the Hogs on
Friday at 3 p.m. and the Tigers
on Sunday at 1. Both matches are
scheduled to be played outside at
the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center,
located off Fraternity Row.

Schaefer expects physical game vs. ASU

Olympic Games in Tokyo. And they’ll have to
deal with Holmes, who, in one year as a starter,
has led the Bulldogs to a 32-win season with
very few problem nights.
McCowan is a basketball beast. She roughs
it up in the paint on any night that any opposing
player dares. Put skates on her and she’s Zdeno
Chara of the Boston Bruins, knocking every-
body out of the goal crease. Apparently, the Sun
Devils are taking aim at target No. 1 tonight.
“I think we just really have the first minute
of the game, just set the tone, play really, really
physical with her because I think that’s some-
thing that can really bother her,” said Arizona
State senior forward Sophia Elenga on Thurs-
day.
“We just have to be more aggressive on her
and the whole team, honestly,” senior forward
Kianna Ibis said.
The Sun Devils’ tallest player is four inches
shorter than McCowan. Elenga and Ibis are
both 6-foot-1. McCowan is 6-foot-7.
Good luck with that.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Ore. — Missis-
sippi State coach Vic Schaefer re-
members his team’s last meeting
with Arizona State as grueling. He
expects much the same when the
top-seeded Bulldogs face the No.
5 Sun Devils on Friday night in the
Sweet 16.
The teams played last season at
the Cancun Challenge, with Missis-
sippi State downing Arizona State,
65-57. The Bulldogs trailed by two
going into the final quarter but pre-
vailed in the end. Teaira McCowan
led MSU with 15 points and 14 re-
bounds.
“Know them well. I’ve played
them several times throughout my
career,” Schaefer said. “We played
them a year ago in the islands, had a
knock-down, drag-out with them. It
was a tremendous basketball game.
We were fortunate to win that one.”
The Bulldogs (32-2) are making
their fourth straight appearance in
the Sweet 16 and they’re vying to
make a third straight Elite Eight.
They have an experienced team led
by 6 -foot-7 senior center McCowan,
who is averaging 18.3 points and
13.5 rebounds.
Mississippi State has won 10
straight going into Friday’s game,
which includes a victory over Ar-
kansas for the SEC Tournament ti-
tle. The Bulldogs also claimed the
regular-season title, going 15-1 in
conference play.
To get to Portland, Mississippi
State defeated 16th-seeded South-
ern 103-46 in the opening round
before an 85-61 victory over No. 9
Clemson on Sunday.
Arizona State (22-10) is making
its sixth consecutive NCA A Tour-
nament appearance. The team has
reached the final eight twice, in
2007 and 2009. Overall, Arizona
State is 2-2 in Sweet 16 games.
The Sun Devils downed No.
12 UCF 60-45 before edging
fourth-seeded Miami 57-55 to ad-
vance.
ASU coach Charli Turner Thorne
said she thinks Mississippi State
is better than they were last year
when the teams met.
“They’re just really good at
knowing who they are. They know
who they are. They know what their
role is. They play it really well. Each
person knows how they’re supposed
to score. They look for each other,
they take turns doing that role very,
very well,” Turner Thorne said.
Second-seeded Oregon (31-4)
plays No. 6 seed South Dakota State
(28-6) in the late game Friday night.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 29). The machinery
that’s been humming along at
a moderate pace will suddenly
kick into another gear. You’re
so productive through the next
three months that by the end of
June, you’ll need to regroup, get
organized and possibly move
the operation elsewhere. Family
makes you so proud in August.
BABY BLUES Capricorn and Sagittarius adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 5,
30, 25, 16 and 41.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Make suggestions instead
of requirements. Express
preferences instead of severe
declarations. Generally, go easy
on yourself. Because if you’re
too strict today, then you’ll

rebel, big time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Children’s faces transparently
reflect the frustrations and
displeasures that more mature
humans learn to hide. You’ll play
today’s social situation like a
pro due to emotional restraint
that’s been years in the making.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). By the grace of time, you
cannot acutely feel the sorrows
of yesterday, though you still
remember them. A picture from
the past will recall a sense of
what you were going through
and lend perspective on today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
A power suit doesn’t make a
person powerful, but it can
affect how powerful a person
feels. Ask any superhero; the
outfit matters. You’ll put thought
and effort into helping yourself
make a confident entrance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ll likely have to spell out
the rules for people who don’t
seem to understand them.
You’ll never regret being patient,
gentle, kind and thorough in this
regard.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You can learn something from
every person you meet, even
the ones with far less time on
the planet or expertise in a
field. With your curious mind,
you’ll keep picking up new intelli-
gence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Spiritual alignment has a feeling
of openness to it. You might
think being so open would
leave you vulnerable, but you’re
attracting what’s good and right
for you. That forms a different
kind of protection.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). It’s a movie-trailer sort of a
day. You will learn the gist of the
story with a few key clips, get a
feel for a person within a short
interaction and travel a great
distance emotionally in a matter
of moments.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). It feels good to be consid-
ered for certain things, even if
you don’t quite get the position
you were going for. It just shows
that you’re in your league and
that when a good fit comes
along, you’ll slide right in.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Verbal freedom sometimes
causes a backlash. But if you
always thought about how your
words would affect others, you
wouldn’t be able to express
yourself at all.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’ll bring out the best in
the people you meet today but
not out of an act of selfless and
conscious goodwill. You bring
out the best because that’s
what you actually see in them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Your idea of who you are
grows with each situation you
take on. So even if what you’re
agreeing to do seems random
and you’re not sure why you
agreed to do it, you’ll still get
the gift of knowing a different
part of yourself.
