21-year-old taken
into custody
The Associated Press
EL PASO, Texas — At
least 15 people were killed
in a shooting Saturday in
a busy shopping area in
the Texas border town of
El Paso, and a 21-year-old
man was taken into custo-
dy, law enforcement offi-
cials said.
Two law enforcement
officials identified the gun-
man as Patrick Crusius of
the Dallas area. One of the
officials told The Associ-
ated Press that at least 15
people were killed. The of-
ficials were not authorized
to discuss an ongoing in-
vestigation publicly, and
both spoke to the AP on
condition of anonymity.
Hospital officials said
another 23 people were
injured and being treated.
Most of the victims
were shot at a Walmart
near the Cielo Vista Mall,
El Paso police Sgt. Robert
Gomez said at a news con-
ference. He said the store
was packed with as many
as 3,000 people during the
busy back-to-school shop-
ping season.
“This is unprecedented
in El Paso,” said Gomez,
the midmorning to an
active shooter scene at
the mall, near Interstate
10 on the east side of the
city, and were advising
people to stay away from
the area and to look for
missing family members
at a school being used as
a reunification area.
The mass shooting in
El Paso came less than
a week after a gunman
opened fire on a Califor-
nia food festival. Santino
William Legan, 19, killed
three people and injured
13 others last Sunday at
the popular Gilroy Gar-
lic Festival, and died of
a self-inflicted gunshot
wound.
Ryan Mielke, a spokes-
man for University Medi-
cal Center of El Paso, said
12 people were brought to
the hospital with injuries,
including one that died.
Two of the injured were
children who were being
transferred to El Paso
Children’s Hospital, he
said. He declined to pro-
vide additional details on
the victims.
Eleven other victims
were being treated at

School board member convicted
of voter intimidation
CANTON — A school board
member and city employee has
been convicted of voter intimida-
tion in central Mississippi.
Local news outlets report a Mad-
ison County jury found Courtney
Rainey guilty Wednesday on one
count, but couldn’t reach a verdict
on a voter fraud charge.
Rainey is a Canton school board
member and has served as the
city’s director of human and cultur-
al needs. She was originally indict-
ed on 16 charges related to conduct
in Canton’s 2017 city elections.
She was taken into custody af-
ter jurors announced their verdict.
She’s scheduled to be sentenced
next Friday.
Rainey is also running for Mad-
ison County justice court judge as
an independent.
At least seven others were indict-
ed on related charges.

How Trump’s latest China tariffs

could squeeze US consumers
Economists estimate
tariffs would cost the
average U.S. household an
average of $200 a year
By JOSH BOAK, ANNE D’INNOCENZIO
and JOE McDONALD
AP Business Writers
WASHINGTON — The latest tariffs
President Donald Trump plans to impose
on Chinese goods would cost U.S. house-
holds an average of $200 a year, some
economists estimate, and would start to
bite consumers and retailers just as the
holiday shopping season begins.
That cost would come on top of the
roughly $830 cost imposed per house-
hold from Trump’s existing tariffs, ac-
cording to a New York Federal Reserve
analysis.
Trump plans to tax $300 billion of Chi-
nese imports at 10 percent starting in
September with the goal of accelerating
trade talks with Beijing to favor the Unit-
ed States. The new tariffs would be in
addition to 25 percent tariffs Trump has
imposed on $250 billion in Chinese prod-
ucts. Those are mostly industrial goods.
By contrast, the new tariffs would target
products used by American consumers,
like shoes, clothing and cellphones.
By Friday, Trump’s new planned tariffs
had triggered worries, especially among
retailers, about the consequences. Retail
stores, many of which have been strug-
gling, would have to make the painful
choice of either absorbing the higher
costs from the new tariffs or imposing
them on price-conscious customers.
Additionally, China has signaled the
likelihood of imposing counter-tariffs
on U.S. goods, which would hit Ameri-
can exporters. The stock market sold off
sharply on Friday, in part over concerns
about the effect on corporate profits.
For retailers already feeling pressure,
the higher prices would hit hard just as
the critically important holiday shopping
season was getting under way.
Some companies are considering mov-
ing up their delivery of goods before the
new tariffs take effect. Isaac Larian, CEO
of Los Angeles-based MGA Entertain-
ment, which makes the popular L.O.L.
doll, said the company will be acceler-
ating shipments from China to the U.S.
ahead of the Sept. 1 deadline — and will
pay an extra $300 to $400 more per ship-
ping container to do so.
He envisions having to raise prices 10
percent across his entire toy line.
“A lot of consumers can’t afford it, and
demand will go down,” Larian said.
iPhone sales would also be hurt if con-
sumers respond to the tariffs by keeping
their existing devices to avoid higher
prices. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan-
iel Ives estimates that Apple will sell 6
million to 8 million fewer iPhones in the
U.S. if it includes the tariff in the sale
price.

FedEx to invest additional $450

million to modernize Memphis hub
The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. —
FedEx Corp. is investing
an additional $450 million
to improve operations at
its busy hub in Memphis,
Tennessee.
The shipping giant’s
announcement Friday at
Memphis International
Airport increases its in-
vestment toward modern-
izing its Memphis hub to
about $1.5 billion.
The company an-
nounced in March 2018 a
$1.1 billion plan to build
a sorting facility, install
new systems and con-
struct a new bulk truck-
load building to support
internet commerce needs.
FedEx has said the invest-
ment will help improve its
efficiency and reliability
as it delivers packages
throughout the world.
Officials say the mod-
ernization is expected to
be completed by 2025.
The Memphis hub cur-
rently has 11,000 employ-
ees, and more jobs are
expected to be added.
Tennessee Gov. Bill
Lee says FedEx’s invest-
ment shows that Tennes-
see is “open for business.”

Voice of the people Because of the training

Benefits of accreditation
Being the best requires
hard work. Being the best stu-
dent, parent, business owner,
athlete or other chosen path
in life is not met by taking
shortcuts or lowering stan-
dards. Instead, being the best
takes dedication, training and
learning from others. That
is what the accreditation for
Columbus Fire & Rescue is
about.
Some citizens have asked,
“How does accreditation help
me?” Here are examples:
Because of what we have
learned and practiced in the
accreditation process, our
firefighters are on the way to
emergency medical calls in an
average of 60 seconds or less
from the time of dispatch. For
fire and rescue calls, we are
on the way an average of 80
seconds or less. Calls through
911 are dispatched faster, an
average of under two minutes.
When your house is on fire, a
minimum of 12 firefighters are
on the way to help you where
pre-accreditation it would
have been only six.
Every call we answer every
day is studied, analyzed,
mapped and reported to help
us arrive quicker and pre-
pared to help you in case of
an emergency. In Cady Hills
alone, we took over one min-
ute of time off our response
for help because of what we
have and are learning through
accreditation.
We protect over 25,000
residents and visitors of
Columbus, millions of dollars
of businesses, Mississippi Uni-
versity for Women and assist
Columbus Air Force Base.
We protect your homes, your
schools and the roads and
railways that cross our city.
Another accreditation ben-
efit is our city has a fire rating
of 3. Only four cities in the
state have such a good rating.
The State Rating Bureau does
use the training and reports
and goals we meet through ac-
creditation in their judgment
to lower or raise our rating.
An accreditation benefit
citizens don’t see is the safety
of our firefighters. An August
2017 trailer-home fire caused
two firefighters to lose their
way inside the burning struc-
ture. They were running out
of air and could not find their
way out.
and procedures put into place
through the accreditation
program, two other firefight-
ers on a Rescue Team outside
the building were on the way
in to save these men when
they found their way out.
Had this program not been in
place, both could have easily
perished.
Meeting accreditation stan-
dards is not easy. The depart-
ment must meet over 86 core
competencies and 166 specific
competencies covering 10 cat-
egories of operations. During
the accreditation hearings,
commissioners ask questions
based on these competencies
to determine if the department
is meeting these high stan-
dards. This is especially true
for recommendations made
to the department during the
site visit. These questions are
answered by subject matter
experts within the department
and from city leadership.
The U.S. Census Bureau
lists 346 cities in Mississippi,
but only one, Columbus, has
an accredited fire department.
I believe most citizens in other
municipalities would be grate-
ful for the protection from an
accredited department.
Why would we consider
lowering our standards of
public safety? I assure you that
the person calling for help on
the next fire or medical dis-
patch we receive will benefit
from our work.
Nothing is free including
being the best in public safety.
Martin Andrews
Chief, Columbus Fire
& Rescue
Encourage voting,
offers endorsements
It is time to vote again and
the stakes could not be higher.
Who you vote for could not
be more important than it is
right now. The city and the
county are facing big tax
increases. Most of this is from
excessive spending, primarily
on construction. The county
school system followed the
Dr. Del Phillips program of
new buildings equals a better
education. A million dollar
field house will not get you a
better football player either.
Education will not improve,
and now they are laying off
teachers. Do they think the
new buildings will teach the
children? Maybe they need to
take common sense classes.
The city of Columbus has
wasted a lot of money on build-
ings and taking special care of
our project manager.
Two of our candidates have
been at the heart of this waste-
ful spending. One charged
$600,000 to do the bonds for
the county schools, which is
ironically almost the exact
amount you will pay for the
increase in taxes. The other
candidate has done a lot of le-
gal work our project manager,
Mr. Edwards, J5 and his other
corporations.
In my opinion it is time for
a fresh face in the legislature.
One that is in it for all the peo-
ple, not just “his associates.”
One that will not make arro-
gant statements like, “If you
like me or not, you are stuck
with me”. One that wants to
take a fresh look at education
and teachers. My vote will be
for Dana McLean.
For county attorney I will
vote for the man I think will
do the best job. A man with no
J5 ties, my vote will be for Mr.
Wallace.
Above all, get out and
vote, have a voice and make
it heard. A lot of people in
politics are in it for them-
selves. We need people that
are public servants, not those
that think we taxpayers are
the servants. We need people
that will operate efficiently
and effectively and serve with
honor. Please think long and
hard, then vote.

arlier this summer while
traveling I subjected
myself to a self-imposed
blackout of national and world
news. I had been a news and
information junkie, and with
social media, talk radio, pod-
casts, TV and newspapers, my
addiction was easy to sustain.
Going cold turkey wasn’t
difficult. When traveling the
senses are overloaded anyway.

leaders acting like schoolyard
punks — chief among them
ours; heart-rending stories about refugees at our
border; the meanderings of a stagnant, ineffectual
Congress; the unending stream of senseless deaths in
the Middle East, all make for a grim narrative, regard-
less your political leanings.
Upon returning home I’ve resisted tuning in. One
day, without thinking, I turned on radio news. It was
like returning in to a television soap opera (or the
round table at the old Kountry Kitchen) after a month-
long hiatus; the story line hadn’t changed.
Maybe this is a head-in-the-sand approach, but the
constant diet of bad news, I believe, has had a dele-
terious effect on our national psyche. We seem, as
a people, to be meaner, angrier, more polarized and
pessimistic.
The news blackout (with the exception of this news-
paper) has been good for me. My mind now seems to
graze in greener pastures. I think about friends and
means to live a decent, substantive, rewarding life …“
The most recent issue’s examination of kindness
details the compilation by the Russian writer Leo
Tolstoy of a book of wise thoughts for every day of the
year; the English translation is titled “A Calendar of
Wisdom.”
For this book, finished near the end of his life, the
author of “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina” spent
17 years collecting the thoughts of the world’s great
thinkers. The compilation was first published in Rus-
sia in 1904; Tolstoy died in 1910.
As does the Emerson quote at the beginning of this
column, Tolstoy concerns himself with knowledge
— that which is superfluous and that which leads to
wisdom. He also supplemented his collection of great
thoughts with those of his own. Here is his offering for
improving society, words as true today as they were
then:
“If you see that some aspect of your society is bad,
and you want to improve it, there is only one way to do
so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve
people, you begin with only one thing: you can become
better yourself.”
How do we better ourselves and improve our lives?
Through kindness Tolstoy believes:
“The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is, the
more kindness he can find in other people. Kindness
enriches our life; with kindness mysterious things be-
come clear, difficult things become easy, and dull things
become cheerful.”

Credit rating
Continued from Page 1A
city operated at a near-$881,000
general fund deficit in Fiscal
Year 2018 and could finish this
year with another fund balance
decrease.
Also contributing to the down-
grade was the city’s rising debt
service, which the city’s audit
report for that year indicated had
swelled to almost $30 million.
That’s more than triple the $8.2
million of debt the city’s audit re-
port showed for Fiscal Year 2010.
Of the nearly $30 million not-
ed in the 2017 audit report, four
bonds, totaling more than $19
million, are money the city bor-
rowed between 2010 and 2016 for
street repairs.
Moody’s rates cities’ credit
risk level on tiers Aaa, Aa A, Baa,
Ba, B, Caa, Ca, and C. Each cate-
gory has three levels.
Tupelo is rated Aa1, while
Starkville is A1, where Colum-
bus previously sat.
Racking up more debt
Although Columbus has a
negative outlook, Moody’s report
suggests steps the city can take
to improve its credit rating, such
as: recurring stable revenues,
growth in reserves and reducing
its debt services.
But since FY 2017, the city
has added at least $8 million to
its total debt.
In 2017, the city issued $3.2
million in urban renewal bonds
for the Columbus Redevelop-
ment Authority’s efforts to pur-
chase lots in Burns Bottom and
sell them as one tract to a devel-
oper. The bonds are backed by a
2.5-mill ad valorem tax increase
that will be retired after those
bonds are paid, which could take
up to 15 years.
Most recently, the city added
$5 million to its bonded indebt-
edness to restore public proper-
ty damaged by a Feb. 23 tornado.
Federal and state emergency
management funds will eventu-
ally reimburse the city for 87.5
percent of that amount, leav-
ing Columbus on the hook for
$625,000.
The city’s bond attorney,
Steve Edds of Butler Snow, said
he was not aware the city’s credit
rating had dropped in Novem-
ber. In any case, he said that
downgrade did not affect the in-
terest rate the city received on
the disaster relief bonds.
“We were actually elated at
that interest rate,” Edds said. “So
obviously any downgrade did not
affect this most recent borrow-
ing in any way.”
The Dispatch has tried mul-
tiple times to obtain the city’s
current debt picture — including
through emails, written public
records requests and in face-to-
face conversations with city offi-
cials — but city administration
has not provided the updated
debt balance. The city’s Fiscal
Year 2018 audit report has not
been posted on the state audi-
tor’s website.
Declining revenue
and deficit spending
Moody’s report also noted
that further economic deteriora-
tion will continue to put a strain
on the city. It noted the loss of
JCPenney and KiOR, a biofuel
processing plant, to the city’s tax
base as major indicators for eco-
nomic loss.
Since the report, Columbus
has continued to lose retailers
including Kmart, Sears, Payless
ShoeSource, Fred’s and Office
Depot. These trends of dwin-
dling economic downgrades and
increasing debt have proven tax-
ing to the city. In March, Mike
Crowder, an accounting consul-
tant for the city, said the city’s
general fund would be $338,000
in debt by Sept. 30 if it didn’t rein
in spending or increase revenue.
In response, Mayor Robert
Smith enacted a financial sav-
ings plan he said would save
Columbus $1.1 million. It in-
cluded raising employee health
insurance deductibles, reducing
overtime and hiring an outside
accounting firm to monitor the
city’s finances. It also called for
leaving 18 vacant positions, for
which salaries and benefits are
budgeted, unfilled.
Though Smith has said the
city’s finances are doing better,
city administration has yet to
provide a clear picture of the ef-
fectiveness of Smith’s plan. The
Dispatch has submitted public
records requests for an update
on the city’s finances.
Smith was unavailable for
comment by press time because
he was dealing with the loss of a
family member.
‘We don’t really have a plan’
On the cusp of another down-
grade, Ward 6 Councilman Bill
Gavin and Ward 3 councilman
Charlie Box are hoping the city
can do two things: stop spending
and start saving.
Though privy to the current
credit rating, Box said he’s not
sure how the city hopes to pre-
vent another drop.
“We don’t really have a plan
for that,” Box said. “I hope to
God we don’t borrow any more
money. That’s the problem. I
hate to see that drop. It’s not ever
good.”
Gavin agreed the city has
spent too much on projects in
years’ past, including the $19
million on road projects.
“We have to be very wise of
the money we borrow going for-
ward,” Gavin said. “We do have
choices down the pike that we
can stop spending money. We
just need to pay this debt off.”
Gavin did not elaborate what
choices the city may consider
but said the council needs to
be selective and perhaps delay
projects that are already on the
books.
“(The) credit rating is a con-
cern, borrowing money is always
a concern,” Gavin said. “We need
to get our debt service down.
(The rating) decreases your abil-
ity to finance projects and we’ve
done a lot of projects.”
Ward 5 Councilman Stephen
Jones could not be reached for
comment. Ward 2 Joseph Mick-
ens and Ward 1 Gene Taylor de-
clined to comment.
Box, who serves on the city’s
financial committee, said the
downgrade doesn’t affect the
city’s day-to-day operations and
likely won’t, but the rating simply
doesn’t put Columbus in a good
light.
“It’s never good,” Box said.
“It reflects negatively on the city
when investors are looking at us.
It’s not a good thing, but it hap-
pens. We just have to work out of
it. Hopefully, next year we’ll look
better.”
“We’re trying to cut expens-
es. That’s the big thing,” he add-
ed. “We’ve got to manage our ex-
penses better and those are two
things we are working on real
hard. I’m not sure we’re doing
enough of (cutting) spending,
but we’ll see at the end of this
(fiscal year) when everything
filters out.”

Appeals court won’t

reverse Mississippi
district line change
Plaintiffs sued the state last year,
arguing the district’s old lines were
illegally drawn to dilute African
American voting strength
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
A federal appeals court
on Thursday rejected an
effort to reverse the re-
drawing of boundaries of
a state Senate district in
Mississippi.
A three-judge panel
on the 5th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled
2-1 that the new boundar-
ies should remain in Sen-
ate District 22, meaning
Tuesday’s primary will
proceed under those new
lines.
No detailed opinions
were issued Thursday,
and the short opinion
didn’t say which judge
had dissented.
Plaintiffs sued the state
last year, arguing the dis-
trict’s old lines, which
stretched from mostly
black and poor parts of
the rural Delta into most-
ly white and affluent sub-
urbs outside Jackson,
were illegally drawn to
dilute African American
voting strength. That
district had a black vot-
ing age population of 51
percent, and had elected
a white Republican state
senator in recent years. A
judge agreed with plain-
tiffs that because of Mis-
sissippi’s history of racial
discrimination, state Sen-
ate District 22 lacked a
large enough black major-
ity to give African Amer-
ican residents a realistic
chance to elect a candi-
date of their choice.
U.S. District Judge
Carlton Reeves in Febru-
ary ordered lawmakers to
redraw it. After a divided
5th Circuit panel refused
to block the order pending
appeal results in March,
legislators redrew the
contested district. Their
plan gives District 22 a 58
percent black voting age

Quarterbacks splitting reps,

optimism, roster updates

Mississippi State football players run through individual drills during the first day of Fall Camp Friday in Starkville.

STARKVILLE — Mississippi
State football is back.
Coach Joe Moorhead and staff
kicked off fall camp Friday night with
portions of the session open to the
media as the Bulldogs begin their fi-
nal preparations for the 2019 season.
These were the day’s major take-
aways:
Quarterback conundrum
No, Moorhead did not select a
starting quarterback after one day of
practice. That said, Saturday was the
first time reporters caught a glimpse
of Penn State transfer Tommy Ste-
vens.
Stevens demonstrated a wide ar-
ray of passes — hitting receivers over
the middle and down the sideline
during positional work.
He and incumbent junior Keyta-
on Thompson are currently splitting
reps between the first and second
team in a battle that is sure to last
into camp.
“The way we do it is we switch ev-
ery period,” Moorhead said. “Whoev-
er goes with the ones on the first drill
will then go with the twos on the sec-
ond drill. That way they are getting
an even number of reps with both the
ones and twos in every period and
throughout practice.”
Beyond the front-runners, fresh-
men Jalen Mayden and Garrett
Shrader looked solid in limited work.
Shrader suffered a torn labrum be-
fore arriving at MSU, though he has
not been limited.
“There were no lingering effects,”
Moorhead said of the injury. “He
was one of our top performers from
a strength and conditioning testing
standpoint. He went out and was rip-

Stokes wins MSSS Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame
race at Bullring

way like the back of his hand.
The often-used idiom may still be an un-
derstatement for Stokes, who “cut his teeth”
at the track when he was just 15 years old.
He also spent 10 years as the track’s promot-
er.
“That’s how the folks gave it the name
‘The Baddest Bullring in the South,’” Stokes
said. “I’ve just got so many laps on it.”
Stokes added 20 more laps to his all-
time tally Friday night, leading the entire
way of the Mississippi Street Stock Series
$1,000-to-win feature for his second win in
just five Street Stocks races for Stacy Rob-
inson. Stokes is currently second in series
points behind Jamey Boland.
“More than anything, it’s good to come
out here and run with these young folks, me
being 65 years old,” Stokes said. “I do it for
fun. We don’t race a lot. We go to win when
we do – it doesn’t always work out that way,
but we’re just having fun.”
Stokes took the lead on the first lap, pass-
ing pole-sitter Lee Ray. He opened up sever-
al big gaps on the field and shook off a few
re-starts before getting a late push from Ja-
son Hollis on laps 19 and 20. A late spin by
Dusty Dupler in turns 1 and 2 reset the field,
and Hollis, who’d spent considerable time
battling on the low-side with Lee Ray for sec-
ond, went door to door with Stokes at both
ends of the track. Still, Stokes put another
car length on Hollis on the final lap.
Hollis finished second, while Boland, Ray
and Jamie Sudduth rounded out the top 5.
“I should have slid him down there in
(turns) three and four,” Hollis joked after
the race.
Stokes said he “messed up a little bit” in
turn 4 of the last restart by hitting a rut and
leaving a lane for Hollis.
“It made me push a little bit,” Stokes said.
“But when I got it straight, I knew I’d be al-
right. With these crate motors, it just takes
three or four laps, and if you hit your marks,
you start stretching out.”
Hollis’ runner-up finish was his third in

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: ASTROS 9, MARINERS 0

Sanchez, Astros throw combined no-hitter against Mariners

The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Aaron Sanchez looked
like a reinvented pitcher in his Houston
debut, throwing six stellar innings to
start the Astros on a combined no-hitter
Saturday night in their 9-0 victory over
the Seattle Mariners.
Sanchez was an All-Star in 2016 and
led the American League in ERA, but
he’s struggled badly this season and had
lost 13 straight decisions to lead the ma-
jors with 14 losses. Three days after he
was acquired from Toronto at the trade
deadline, the 27-year-old right-hander
teamed with Will Harris, Joe Biagini and
Chris Devenski to shut down Seattle.
“Just trying to have a good first im-
pression,” Sanchez said.
It was the second time in less than a
month the last-place Mariners were no-
hit by multiple pitchers. The Los Angeles
Angels used two pitchers in a combined
no-hitter July 12 against Seattle on a
night when they honored late left-hander
Tyler Skaggs by all wearing his No. 45 in
their first home game since his death.
Sanchez (4-14) was replaced by Will
Harris to start the seventh after throw-
ing 92 pitches.
Harris and Joe Biagini, also obtained
from the Blue Jays in the same deal that
netted Sanchez, each worked one inning
before Devenski tossed a perfect ninth.
He retired All-Star slugger Daniel Vogel-
bach on a routine fly for the final out, set-
ting off an Astros celebration on the field.
“This is awesome,” Sanchez said, add-
ing: “You can’t write it up any better than
this.”
Sanchez struck out six, walked two
and hit a batter with a pitch in his first
win since late April.
Houston manager AJ Hinch patted
Sanchez on the chest after he finished
the sixth, and pitching coach Brent
Strom offered a hearty handshake.
The Astros have a history of improv-
ing the performance of pitchers they ac-
quire.
“We don’t have magic dust,” Hinch in-
sisted after Sanchez was added.
Still, Sanchez was eager to get going
with his new team.
“I’m sure there’s things that are on
their mind and things that are on my
mind. It’s an open line of communica-
tion here,” he said after the deal. “I’m
thrilled to see what they’ve got for me.
I’m thrilled to kind of share my thoughts
with them and bounce ideas off of each
other and see where it goes.”
Sanchez plunked Omar Narváez with
two outs in the first inning and retired
the next nine batters before walking Vo-
gelbach with two outs in the fourth. Ryan
Court hit a soft grounder with two outs
in the fifth but first baseman Yuli Gurriel
fielded it and tossed it to Sanchez, who
dashed to first base just in front of Court
for the third out.
Sanchez walked Mallex Smith with
one out in the sixth, then retired the next
two batters to end the inning.
Harris walked Domingo Santana with
one out in the seventh, but J.P. Crawford
grounded into a double play.
Mike Fiers pitched the previous
no-hitter for Houston against the Los
Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 21, 2015. That
gem came in his third start with the As-
tros, just 23 days after they obtained him
in a trade, and it was his first career com-
plete game.
Houston used six pitchers in a com-
bined no-hitter at Yankee Stadium in
2003.

ORIOLES 6, BLUE JAYS 4

Mancini HR, 4 RBIs carry

Orioles past Blue Jays
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Victimized by the
long ball for much of the season, the
Baltimore Orioles used a power surge of
their own to take the lead against Toron-
to.
Then, after the Blue Jays fought back
to tie, a 200-foot, opposite-field flare
made the difference in Baltimore’s 6-4
victory on Saturday night.
Despite getting three hits from Vlad-
imir Guererro Jr. and home runs from
Freddy Galvis and Reese McGuire , To-
ronto had its five-game winning streak
end.
Held hitless by Thomas Pannone
through four innings, the Orioles took
their first lead of the series with a four-
run fifth. Villar homered to left, Stevie
Wilkerson and Hanser Alberto singled
and Mancini sent a drive into the cen-
ter-field seats for his team-leading 26th
home run.
After Toronto pulled even with two
runs in the top of the seventh, Baltimore
restored its lead in the bottom half. The
first two batters reached against Buddy
Boshers (0-1) before Alberto poked a
single to right off Justin Shafer to put the
Orioles ahead for good.
“There’s nothing sexier than a base
hit the other way with a runner in scor-
ing position,” Baltimore manager Bran-
don Hyde said. “Love it. Seriously, it’s a
beautiful thing.”
Alberto said: “Obviously, with two
strikes, I don’t want to take a big swing. I
want to put the ball in play. So I did.”
Mancini added a run-scoring ground-
out to help the Orioles improve to 16-
38 at home after they lost the first two
games of the series by a combined 16-4
score.
Mychal Givens (2-5) worked 1 1/3
scoreless innings and Paul Fry got three
outs for his third save.
Toronto was riding its longest win-
ning streak of the season and striving to
win a sixth straight on the road for the
first time since 2014.
Pannone went six innings, allowing
four runs with a career-high nine strike-
outs.
“That club is a good hitting club. It
happens. Third time around, they saw
him pretty good,” Toronto manager
Charlie Montoyo said. “But he only gave
up four hits.”

PHILLIES 3, WHITE SOX 2

Harper, Hoskins back Nola as Phillies beat White Sox
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA —
Aaron Nola pitched sev-
en strong innings, Bryce
Harper and Rhys Hoskins
homered and the Phila-
delphia Phillies beat the
Chicago White Sox 3-2
on Saturday night.
Nola (10-2) allowed
one run and three hits
with 10 strikeouts and
two walks. He lowered
his ER A to 1.91 over his
last eight starts while
reaching double-digits
in strikeouts for the 12th
time in his career, includ-
ing the fourth this sea-
son.
Cesar Hernandez also
had an RBI for the Phil-
lies, who entered Satur-
day a game back in the
NL wild-card race.
Jon Jay had an RBI
double for Chicago,
which dropped its ninth
in the last 11. The White
Sox are batting .194 while
averaging two runs per
game over that stretch.
Nick Pivetta got the
final six outs for his first
career save. The White
Sox got the first two
runners on in the ninth
before Pivetta struck out
Eloy Jimenez and Tim
Anderson. Yolmer San-
chez’s two-out single to
right drove in Jose Abreu,
putting runners on first
and third. However, Piv-
etta struck out pinch-hit-
ter Adam Engel to finish
his 42-pitch outing.
Nola retired the first
nine batters before walk-

fourth. Hoskins followed
by drilling the next pitch,
a 91-mph fastball, over
the wall in center field
for his 24th of the season
to give Philadelphia a 2-1
lead. Both homers were
measured at 406 feet.
The hits were redemp-
tion of sorts for Harper
and Hoskins, who were
a combined 1 for 11 with
three strikeouts in the
Phillies’ 4-3 loss in 15
innings to the White Sox
on Friday night.
Detwiler, making
his fourth start, didn’t
allow another run af-
ter Hoskins’ homer. He
lasted 5 2/3 innings and
gave up three hits with
six strikeouts and one
walk while lowering his
ER A nearly a run, from
6.08 to 5.21, as a starter.
The left-hander also has
pitched four times out of

SOCCER: MLS ROUNDUP
Atlanta United beats LA Galaxy in front of MLS-record crowd
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Atlanta United scored
a pair of own-goals in the first half and
Josef Martinez added a penalty kick to
finish off a 3-0 victory over the LA Gal-
axy on Saturday, pushing the reigning
MLS Cup champions into a first-place
tie in the Eastern Conference.
United (12-9-3), pulling even with
Philadelphia at 39 points, stretched its
home unbeaten streak to 10 games in a
matchup between two of the league’s top
teams. Atlanta has never allowed a goal
to the Galaxy, recording three straight
shutouts since entering the league in
2017.
With the upper deck opened up and
another MLS record crowd of 72,548
cheering on United, the home team re-
sponded with one of its best performanc-
es in what has been an up-and-down
season under first-year coach Frank de
Boer.
The Galaxy (12-10-1) provided plenty
of help.
In the 23rd minute, Florentin Pogba
retrieved a long ball at the Atlanta end
of the field and worked it up to Ezequiel
Barco racing through the midfield. Bar-
co slid a nifty pass to Pity Martinez,
who broke into the clear down the right
side. Martinez tried to work the ball in

front, where both Barco and Josef Mar-
tinez were lurking, but the pass struck
defender Dave Romney, sliding across
the area on his back, and deflected past
helpless goalkeeper David Bingham.
Atlanta made it 2-0 with a nearly iden-
tical play in the 43rd. This time, Justin
Meram sprinted free down the left side
and looked to get the ball to Josef Marti-
nez, who was open in front of the net. De-
fender Giancarlo Gonzalez slid across to
block the pass and wound up doing the
same thing as Romney — deflecting the
ball past Bingham.
Atlanta sealed the victory in the 72nd
after a video review showed that Em-
erson Hyndman was knocked down in
the area by Gonzalez while going for a
rebound after Bingham made a brilliant
save to deny Josef Martinez. That sent
Martinez to the spot for the penalty
kick, which he ripped inside the left post
for his 18th goal of the season.

FOOTBALL: COLLEGE

Saban denies offering ex-Ohio State assistant Zach Smith job

‘I really never did offer this guy a job. We did interview
him and he did a nice job in the interview.’
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama
coach Nick Saban denies offering a job
to ex-Ohio State assistant Zach Smith
last year, citing the results of a back-
ground check as the reason.
The Crimson Tide’s connection with
Smith surfaced with the release Friday
of former Buckeyes coach Urban Mey-
er’s texts and emails by Ohio State after
an external investigation into what he
knew about allegations of domestic vi-
olence made by Smith’s ex-wife, Court-
ney Smith.
Meyer fired Smith in July 2018.
Months earlier, Saban talked to Smith
Alabama coach Nick Saban
about a job, although accounts differ
about whether an offer was extended.
“We talk to a lot of coaches about a lot
of things,” Saban said Saturday at the
Tide’s media day. “I really never did of-
fer this guy a job. We did interview him
and he did a nice job in the interview.
But it’s when we did the background
check, that we decided that it was a bet-
ter opportunity to hire somebody else
and that’s what we did.”
The receivers coach and co-offen-
sive coordinator job went instead to
Josh Gattis.
Ohio State investigated Meyer and
suspended him for mishandling previ-
ous issues involving Smith. Meyer re-
tired after the 2018 season.
Once Saban’s biggest SEC rival at
Florida, Meyer wrote in two January
2018 texts, including one to Ohio State
President Michael Drake, that Alabama
had offered Smith an assistant coach-
ing job. Meyer wrote Drake that Smith
was among six members of his coach-
ing staff offered other jobs.
Meyer also wrote that Alabama
pursued four Ohio State assistants,
including Smith, Greg Schiano, Kerry
Coombs and Alex Grinch.
“I told him to stay and he turned it
down,” Meyer wrote of Smith.
A text message from Smith to Mey-
er said: “They (the Tide) offered me
the job and I wanted to sleep on it last
night before deciding but it doesn’t feel
right.”
It never got that far, according to
Saban. He indicated it was a case of
a coach using interest from another
school as leverage with his employer.
“I think it’s pretty common that
sometimes people that get interviewed
someplace or someone calls and shows
interest in them that ... the way this pro-
fession works is that you go in and use
that as leverage to try to improve your
situation where you are now,” Saban
said.
On Saturday, Alabama held its me-
dia and fan day with an open practice
at Bryant Denny Stadium. A notable
absence was linebacker Eyabi Anoma.
The former five-star recruit has been
dismissed from school, Saban said. He
declined to elaborate on the reason.
“The guy was dismissed from
school, and that’s really all I can say
about it,” Saban said.
Anoma was the No. 4 overall prospect
in the 2018 recruiting class, according
to the 247Sports Composite ratings. He
had nine tackles in 12 games last sea-
son, including two for a loss.

New-look Mississippi has a lot to do before Aug. 31 opener

The Associated Press
OXFORD — Mississippi
started preseason practice Fri-
day with two new coordinators
continuing to install vastly dif-
ferent schemes. There are also
several young starters, espe-
cially on offense, including a
redshirt freshman quarterback
who has thrown just 22 passes
in his college career.
Safe to say the Rebels have
a lot of work to do before their
Aug. 31 opener at Memphis.
“There’s a lot of youth in
here, a lot of competition,”
third-year coach Matt Luke
said. “But I’m just really excit-
ed for this month of August to
build and mold this team.”
Ole Miss could be one of
the Southeastern Conference’s
more intriguing teams this fall,
mainly because there’s so much
uncertainty around the roster
and how the new coordinators
might use the young talent. Not
much is expected: The Rebels
were picked to finish sixth out
of seven teams in the SEC West-
ern Division in the media poll
that was released in July.
Youth is certainly a concern,
but coaches and players say it’s
not necessarily a bad thing.
“I don’t have to worry about
bad habits,” new offensive co-
ordinator Rich Rodriguez said.
“Because they don’t have any
habits.”
The program does have a
carrot that’s been missing. Ole
Miss is once again eligible for
the postseason after serving
a two-year ban due to NCAA
rules violations.
“It’s definitely different,”
senior linebacker Qaadir Shep-
pard said. “For me, I’m excited,
because I’ve never been to a
bowl in my career. It’s great to
be able to compete for one.”
Rodriguez and defensive
coordinator Mike MacIntyre
bring ample head coaching ex-
perience — more than 30 years
combined — and are now in the
process of overhauling a pro-
gram that was 16-20 over the
past three seasons, including
5-7 last fall.
Rodriguez hopes to bring a
more balanced offense. In re-
cent years. Ole Miss was known
for an all-or-nothing vertical
passing game that resulted in a
lot of touchdowns or three-and-
outs.
The Rebels expect Corral to
be the starter at quarterback,
even taking the rare step of
bringing the freshman to SEC
Media Days in July.
He completed 16 of 22 pass-
es last season for 239 yards,
two touchdowns and one inter-
ception last season, but still has
four years of eligibility thanks
to the year-old rule that allows
players to compete in four
games without losing their red-
shirt.
“Matt’s been terrific since
I’ve been here,” Rodriguez said.
“I have to get on him on certain
things like you do all your play-
ers, but I’ve loved working with
him. This camp is going to be
the most challenged he’s ever
been in his life, but I think he’s
looking forward to that.”
The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Cor-
ral has some speed to go along
with his arm, running for 83
yards and two touchdowns last
season. Rodriguez feels that’s a
good fit for what he’s trying to
accomplish.
“He wants to get better,” Ro-
driguez said. “It’s my job to help
him get there.”
MacIntyre is switching the
defense to a 3-4 alignment with
three defensive linemen and
four linebackers, which was a
staple during his later years as
the head coach at Colorado.
The Rebels have 10 defen-
sive starters returning, but it
remains to be seen if that’s a
positive. Ole Miss has had one
of the league’s worst defenses
over the past three years, giv-
ing up about 35 points per game
over that stretch, including 36.2
points in 2018.
MacIntyre says there’s rea-
son to believe the Rebels can
improve in a hurry.
“I know the young men have
a good grasp of the defense,”
MacIntyre said. “Now we have
to go out and get enough repe-
titions to get them ready to go.”

FOOTBALL: NFL HALL OF FAME

Law, Reed, Mawae, Bowlen, Brandt,
Robinson in Hall of Fame
CANTON, Ohio — What a defensive
backfield in gold jackets: Ed Reed, Ty
Law and Champ Bailey.
Law and Reed entered the Pro Foot-
ball Hall of Fame on Saturday night, and
Bailey was set to join them a bit later.
“Fitting to be in here with Mr. Johnny
Robinson and Champ and Ty,” Reed said.
“My DBs know it was always about us.”
Reed and Law’s voices frequently
broke during their speeches.
Law spoke of his family’s support, and
his hometown, Aliquippa, Pennsylvania,
which also produced his uncle, Tony
Dorsett, and Mike Ditka — both Hall of
Famers.
“I know there ain’t no crying in foot-
ball,” Law joked.
“We are a community built on love,
strength, struggle, and that Quiptown
pride,” he said. “We did it, Aliquippa. We
are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.”
Law became the first inductee from
New England’s standout defense that
won three Super Bowls in the early
2000s. One of the most versatile and
physical cornerbacks the NFL has seen,
Law was selected for five Pro Bowl teams
and was a two-time All-Pro. He finished
with 53 career interceptions, twice lead-
ing the NFL in that category, had more
than 800 tackles, 169 passes defensed,
five sacks, and scored seven times.
Perhaps Law’s most noteworthy game
came in the 2002 Super Bowl, when his
hard-hitting style upset Rams receivers
and threw off the “Greatest Show on
Turf. That was emblematic of his attack-
ing style — and soon after led to rules
changes limiting how physical defenders
could be against receivers.
Reed was just as big a playmaker for
Baltimore, a safety who fellow enshrinee
Ray Lewis called “a gift” to the Ravens
and himself. He was elected in his first
year of eligibility, just as Lewis was last
year, and called for unity in America,
setting a standard like a team’s — each
pushing one another toward an achieve-
ment.
“Help each other, encourage each
other, lift each other up,” Reed said. “En-
courage those around you. Encourage
yourself.”
Reed, a five-time All-Pro safety and
member of the NFL 2000s All-Decade
Team, was the 2004 Defensive Player of
the Year and made nine Pro Bowls. He
had 64 career interceptions, seventh
overall; led the NFL in picks three times;
and his 1,590 yards on interception re-
turns is a league mark. His 13 non-of-
fense TDs rank fifth all time.
In 2013, in his hometown of New Or-
leans, the Ravens won the Super Bowl.
Inducted earlier were Kevin Mawae,
Pat Bowlen,Johnny Robinson and Gil
Brandt .

as many weeks between both Columbus

currently third in MSSS points.
Hollis lamented the condition of the
race surface Friday and was frustrated
with the difficulty to pass. He said the
track “wasn’t good for racing,” but said
it was “better than I thought it would
be.”
“Track position means so much
here,” Hollis said, “and you’re racing
against a guy that’s made more laps
around here than anybody in the world.”
Ray echoed those sentiments and the
importance of positioning at Columbus.

Mayden and Shrader are almost as-
suredly lined up for mop-up duty in 2019,
but with their improvement there’s evi-
dent depth developing at the quarterback
position.
Moorhead spent much of Friday’s
press conference harping on how much
stronger his team got during the offsea-
son thanks in major part to new strength
and conditioning coach Cory Bichey.
Of those beneficiaries, senior receiv-
ers Malik Dear and Stephen Guidry both
looked to have taken advantage of the off-
season workout program.
Dear was noticeably slimmer during
the first day of practice and showed some
explosiveness off the line while running
with the No. 2 offense.
As for Guidry, he looked to have put
on some weight as he bulked up over the
summer. The latest MSU roster notes
he’s gained 10 pounds after playing his
junior year at 190 pounds.
In terms of on field production, sopho-
more Devonta “Whop” Jason impressed
on day one— snagging a handful of
throws along the sideline during individ-
ual work.
Jason is one of just four MSU receiv-
ers standing 6-foot-3 or taller and could
find himself in the mix for snaps given
his size in a receiving corps that lacks it.
Onlookers also caught their first
glimpse of Kansas State transfer Isaiah
Zuber. A special teams ace in four years
with the Wildcats, Zuber is expected to
make an impact in the passing and re-
turn games.
“He’s a heck of an athlete,” Moorhead
said. “Obviously, his body of work as a re-
ceiver and returner in the Big 12 speaks
for itself. “
Competitive edge
Like the first day of school, the open-
ing of camp brought a renewed optimism
for the 2019 season.
Moorhead said there was a noticeable
energy amongst his players on the open-
ing day.
“One of the things I was more im-
pressed by today is the sense of urgency
and execution that has been increased

there,” Ray said. “That hung me out
down there.”
Still, Ray was more than satisfied
with a fourth-place finish and no dam-
age to his car.
“The car just quit going up there on
that top side, getting in all that loose
stuff,” Ray said. “Then Jamie and me got
to running down there on that bottom. I
still had a good car. It’s the best I’ve run
in a while, so I ain’t complaining.”
In other race action, Tony Shelton
won the 602 Sportsman feature, and
Chase Aldridge won the Factory Stocks

because of the enhanced competition at
every position,” he said. “You go across
the board where different battles are go-
ing on. Guys want to get on the field, so
they’re trying to be on top of their game
throughout practice so they can play. “
Following an 8-5 campaign last year,
there’s a level of understanding MSU
missed opportunities. Yet with a second
offseason learning Moorhead’s playbook
and playing time up for grabs, there’s
reason to believe the Bulldogs may have
an added edge in the early going this
season.
Walker incoming, Waitman in a
holding pattern
The Mississippi State football roster
is reaching its completion.
Following Friday’s opening practice
of fall camp, coach Moorhead announced
a handful of roster changes.
Of note, junior college running back
Kareem Walker is expected to arrive
early next week. Walker is clearing up a
handful of academic and administrative
issues before heading to Starkville.
A one-time Michigan player, he spent
the 2018 season at Ft. Scott Communi-
ty College in Kansas. Walker rushed for
207 yards and one touchdown on 64 car-
ries for the Greyhounds.
Other roster moves included the news
South Alabama transfer Corliss Wait-
man had his waiver for a sixth year of el-
igibility denied by the NCAA. Moorhead
said Waitman is discussing next steps
with his family.
An appeal is expected, though Moor-
head said he would update the situation
when it became more official.
Waitman was expected to be in the
mix with junior Reed Bowman and se-
nior Kody Schexnayder to back up in-
cumbent starting punter Tucker Day
while potentially factoring in as a kickoff
specialist.
He spent the first four seasons of his
Help us help them,
collegiate career under the guidance The Humane Society
of MSU special teams coordinator Joey 662 327-3107
Jones, who previously served as the head
coach at South Alabama for nine years
prior to joining Moorhead’s staff in 2018.

Governor primaries headline Mississippi ballots on Tuesday
Aug. 27 runoffs will be held in any races where a candidate doesn’t get a
majority Tuesday, while winners advance to the Nov. 5 general election
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
Mississippians head to
the polls Tuesday to de-
cide Democratic and Re-
publican nominees for a
host of offices from gover-
nor to county supervisor.
The crowded ballots
will be headlined by par-
allel contests for gover-
nor. On the Republican
side, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves
is trying to fend off chal-
lenges from former state
Supreme Court Chief
Justice Bill Waller Jr. and
state Rep. Robert Foster.
On the Democratic side,
Attorney General Jim
Hood is challenged by
seven candidates, includ-
ing Hinds County District
Attorney Robert Shuler
Smith and retired Jackson
State University adminis-
trator Velesha P. Williams.
GOP voters will also
weigh in on contested
primaries for lieutenant
governor, attorney gener-
al, secretary of state and
treasurer, while Demo-
crats will decide a nomi-
nee for secretary of state.
Voters in some parts of
the state will also see con-
tested primaries for public
service commissioner and
transportation commis-
sioner.
Aug. 27 runoffs will be
held in any races where
a candidate doesn’t get a
majority Tuesday, while
winners advance to the
Nov. 5 general election.
Here’s a look at the key
races on Mississippi bal-
lots:

intelligence director is withdrawing

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — leave the intelligence com-
President Donald Trump’s
pick for national intelli-
gence director, Texas Rep.
John Ratcliffe, withdrew
from consideration Friday
after just five days as he
faced growing questions
about his experience and
qualifications.
The move underscored
the uncertainty over his
confirmation prospects.
Democrats openly dis-
missed the Republican
congressman as an un-
qualified partisan and
Republicans offered only
lukewarm and tentative
ernor in their respective
parties at the beginning
of election season, and
they have focused their
fire on each other. Other
candidates, though, are
trying to derail them.
Reeves says Hood is a
liberal tied to the national
Democratic party. Waller
presents himself as a
pragmatist who would do
more to improve roads
and extend health insur-
ance coverage. Foster
took a star turn when he
refused to have a female
reporter for online news
outlet Mississippi To-
day accompany him on a
campaign trip. Hood ar-
gues that a less partisan
approach would benefit
Mississippians, and he
criticizes Republican tax
cuts as aimed at corpora-
tions, as opposed to his
own proposal to remove
the sales tax on grocer-
ies.

also says he’ll eliminate

governments to interfere

system.
In a tweet Friday, Trump

to avoid “months of slan-

E
ven those who know of the
Catch-A-Dream Foundation
may not realize its national
headquarters are in the Golden
Triangle’s backyard. Tucked on
a wooded 43 acres southwest of
Starkville are a rustic visitor center
and bunkhouse-turned-office where
a small, dedicated staff work every
day to make dreams unfold.
Catch-A-Dream, founded in
Mississippi in 2000, grants wishes
for outdoor experiences for children
under 18 with life-threatening or
terminal illnesses from all over
the country, and Canada. To date,
almost 700 wishes for fishing or
hunting adventures have been ful-
filled for kids from 46 states and two
Canadian provinces.
Wish-granting takes many
hands, and the Master Gardeners
of Oktibbeha County found a way to
collaborate.
“They’ve been invaluable,” said
Catch-A-Dream CEO Marty Brun-
son of Starkville. “When we got the
property, it had been abandoned for
a couple of years; landscaping was
minimal. Early on, the Master Gar-
deners began developing a longterm
plan to replace this, move that, add

zation with a heart for children.
“The Master Gardeners have
poured their energies into this, and
the results are obvious,” Brunson
said. “ ... They are the epitome of a
good volunteer group.”
Standing in the gap
Catch-A-Dream, as it came to be
known, began to take root in late

faced his own battle with cancer.

had established a national policy
that precluded granting a child a
wish that involved hunting or the
use of firearms, hunting bows or
other hunting or sport-shooting
equipment.
“At that time, there was a gap
created in the wish-granting indus-

Pilot Club adds more splash to Starkville park pad

A
new feature at the J.L. King Memorial
Park splash pad in Starkville is cooling
down the dog days of summer, compli-
ments of the Pilot Club of Starkville. A recent-
ly-installed overhead bucket feature at the pad
fills with water, periodically tipping to shower
down on anyone standing below.
Total cost of the project was $10,000. For the
past two years, Pilot Club members have held
fundraisers including a celebrity wait night
and silent auction at Sweet Peppers Deli in
Starkville. Funding also came from 4-County
Electric Power Association, Pilot International
Founders Fund, SOAR and Clark Beverage, in
addition to a corporate letter-writing campaign.
Prior to enhancing the splash pad, the Pilot
Club, in 2017, installed four playground-sized
musical instruments in J.L. King Park to en-
courage children in musical play. Those ele-
ments were an extension of the nine-instrument
Pilot Club Music Trail previously established at
McKee Park.
“We consider the water bucket our signature
years, but then we were looking for what to do
next. We talked with Parks and Recreation and
told them what we were thinking. They’ve been
really good to work with.”
Chris Emplaincourt served as chair of the
splash pad project. The cone-shaped bucket was
purchased from Moonshot Consultation LLC.
The water bucket, as well as all playground
instruments, are accessible to those with dis-
abilities.
An affiliate of Pilot International, Pilot Club
of Starkville strives to serve the community and
focus on improving brain health and safety. Ad-
ditions to the parks promote brain development,
noted Boles.
The active civic club is already looking
ahead.
“We’re in the planning stages for what we
may do next,” Boles remarked. “We’ve been
talking with Parks and Recreation Director
Gerry Logan and gotten some ideas from him, Courtesy photo

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: My 13-year-old
son plays on a local travel
sports team. Many of his
teammates could be considered
lower class or lower middle
class. We live in a luxurious
home. We don’t flaunt it, and
we’re not snobbish. All of the
kids and the parents get along,
and socioeconomic status plays
no role in our interactions.
My son invited a few of his
teammates over for a few hours,
and from the expressions on
their faces, it was clear they
had never seen a home like
ours. They behaved like perfect
gentlemen and were a pleasure
to have over.
My mother suggested that it would be
better not to invite the boys over
again because it isn’t fair to
them. Her concern is that it might
make them feel bad because
they have so much less than we
do. While I understand her point
of view, I also think it can be
beneficial for them to see what
the possibilities are in the world
if you work hard and are success-
ful. Perhaps it will inspire them to
do better in school, go to college,
etc.
Of course, the primary pur-
pose for their coming over was
Dear Abby just for friends to spend time
together and have fun. What
do you think of these potential
unintended consequences? — SPORTS DAD
IN THE SOUTH
DEAR DAD: I disagree with your mother.
If your son and his teammates enjoy being
together in addition to the time they spend
doing their sports, they should be allowed that
pleasure. Your home might be the most logical
place to host these gatherings simply because
it is large enough to accommodate all of the
boys. Because they come from a lower income
level doesn’t mean they can’t forge meaningful
— and lasting — friendships with your son.
Many successful individuals weren’t
born with the proverbial silver spoon in their
mouths. And many successful individuals did
not attend college. They went to trade and
tech schools and provide themselves and their
families with very comfortable lifestyles.
DEAR ABBY: My daughter married a man
last spring. One week after their honeymoon,
he was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastasized
colon cancer. After eight months of doctors,
hospitals and chemo, he passed away.
They never had an opportunity to write
thank-you notes for their wedding gifts. My
daughter feels it is not appropriate now. I feel
she should do it, saying something like, “Be-
fore my husband passed away, we enjoyed this
gift very much.” She said to ask you. What is
your opinion? — WONDERING IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR WONDERING: It is always appropriate
to thank people for their kindness. Since you
asked my opinion, I agree that your daughter
should write short notes to the people who
gave her wedding gifts and tell them she would
have written sooner, but she is still grieving
the loss of her husband. Then she should
thank them for their generosity. The rules of
etiquette do not require her to say more than
that. When you discuss with her what I have
written — as I am sure you will — please
convey to her my deepest sympathy.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 4).
Wherever you go, you add something
to what’s going on there. You do your
best to plug into groups and systems
that seem to be improving things,
though you’ll get the most satis-
faction from plans and groups you
create to serve purposes that haven’t
been covered by others. You’re a
leader and an innovator. Cancer and
Taurus adore you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 5, 36, 42, 3 and 48.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Fears
are overcome with exposure. Not all
exposure is alike though. Relax first
and then face the fear. To let yourself
get too wound up is counteractive to
your purpose.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
tortoise knew he was slow, and he
probably also knew he was unlikely
to win the proposed race with a hare.
The tactic he took was not just his
only chance at winning; it was his
general lifestyle. Limitations are
strengths.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There are many ways to stand up
for yourself. Today, you’ll do it by
holding your ground on the sidewalk,
keeping your place in line, speaking
assertively and holding your own in a
relationship.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Like
the tide, you roll in here and you
roll in there, seeing many a distant
shore. Yet, none can keep you. It
seems nothing can stop you from
rolling right back to your home, the
deep blue sea.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Con-
fidence is more easily obtained
through ignorance than it is through
knowledge. Because the more a
person knows, the more that person
understands what there is to know,
and how little knowledge has actually
been acquired.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It
seems that you now owe more than
you took. That’s the way it goes with
debt, including the debt of being
alive. Interest is a fact of breathing.
Not everyone has your obsession
with contribution, but everyone
should.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). These
critics who keep you grounded are
crucial to your modesty and integri-
ty. Still, they are more helpful after
you’ve had some success. Right now
you need encouragement and dream-
ing, not criticism and reality.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Storms are named after people.
You know firsthand why this is so. If
you were the namer of storms, you
wouldn’t be at a loss. But all that has
helped you recognize and appreciate
the value of sweet, sunshiny friend-
ships.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Love is a healer. But what about
when there’s nothing broken? Then
love is the fortification, the preven-
tion, the antioxidant. Today, the an-
swer is the same for every question:
more love.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Regret doesn’t happen when you’re
fully consuming the moment you
have. There’s no place for regret in
today’s discourse except to use it as
a signal to stop and find something
that will get you back to “now.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There are those who have such a
light touch emotionally that being
around them is easy and breezy.
When the intensity of a situation
turns up, these types act as in-
flatables, keeping themselves and
others afloat.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Self-esteem is a tricky thing. It’s not
based on what you do. Two people
could do the identical act and one
could feel great about it, the other
crummy. It’s a matter of evaluation.
It’s time to tweak your rating system.

Jerry Lynn Nail was born

retiring. For part-time work,
Jerry operated a photography
business out of his house for
20 years. In 1990, he and his
wife purchased the building at
107 Fifth St. S. There, Linda
ran a bridal boutique called A
Southern Wedding on the first
floor, and Jerry operated the
studio Jerry Nail Photography
on the second floor. Jerry
was a member of Wedding

2012, both Jerry and Linda re-

‘Exoplanets: Worlds
Beyond Our Own’
SPECIAL TO THE of the Pink Palace Family
DISPATCH of Museums in Memphis,

R
ainwater Observato-
ry in French Camp
offers a free pro-
gram called “Exoplanets:
Worlds Beyond Our Own”
at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9.
Observatory Director
Edwin Faughn is the
presenter. The program is
free to the public. Dona-
tions are welcome.
The educational and
colorful presentation ex-
plores the history, science
fiction and science facts of
worlds beyond Earth. To
date there are over 4,500
confirmed extrasolar
planets that have been
discovered orbiting other
stars in the Milky Way
galaxy, Faughn shared.
That number will eventu-
ally be in the trillions in
years to come.
“These discoveries are
exciting, tantalizing and
reveal that the universe
is far greater and more
spectacular than anything
we can even begin to com-
prehend. Come join us as
we explore these beautiful
and exotic worlds beyond
our own,” the director
urged.
Faughn served nearly
20 years as art director for
the Sharpe Planetarium
Tennessee. He is also a
lecturer and artist. His
artwork has appeared in
numerous international
space science magazines,
exhibitions and planetari-
um production.
After the presentation,
weather permitting, an
observing session will
be held using some of
Rainwater’s collection of
powerful telescopes. The
planetarium can be used
if outdoor observing is
clouded out.
Rainwater Observa-
tory and Planetarium is

to provide those experiences for those
children.”
Brady lost his battle before the con-
cept was much more than an idea, but in
mid-2000, the Catch-A-Dream program
was founded as a partnership among
the Brady family, the MSU Extension
Service, Mississippi Wildlife Federation
and Mississippi 4-H Clubs Foundation.
By late 2003, Catch-A-Dream had
grown so that it became a stand-alone
501(c)(3) nonprofit. In 2013, it made
the physical move from the Extension
Service to its permanent home on Ennis
Road in Oktibbeha County.
Joining the effort
Master Gardener Ed Williams of
Starkville serves as coordinator for the
ongoing Catch-A-Dream landscaping
project.
“It’s to help our community, and
this is such a worthy cause to help
young people that have life-threatening
diseases. It’s a way we can help that or-
ganization do what they don’t have the
expertise to do themselves,” Williams
said. “We’re able to provide labor and
materials to enhance their headquar-
ters; that frees them up to do what they
need to be doing.”
Many members provided plants and
trees from their own gardens, Wil-
liams said. Donations toward the work
also comes from individuals and from
businesses, some that offer materials at
reduced cost. Landscape improvement
projects have ranged from transplanting
and installing shrubs and plant beds to
rehabbing an unlovely-but-necessary
drainage ditch, transforming it into a
serpentine stone-lined stream bed for
overflow water.
“They’ve put in a lot of sweat,” said
Chisholm. “Sometimes there are a few
(volunteers) here, sometimes a dozen
or more. They beautify the landscape
tremendously and have become great
friends and a huge asset, not only to us,
but also to this facility.”
Inside the visitor and development
enter, walls are lined with images of
smiling faces. Hundreds of photographs
of children on their outdoor adventures
remind everyone of the mission.
“It’s an important message of hope
we want to extend to these children and
their families,” said Chisholm. “They’re
sometimes given grave outlooks, and
we want to let them know there is hope
that extends far beyond what they may
hear in the clinic or in the hospital.”
The groundwork behind every trip a
child takes happens in the wooded set-
ting on Ennis Road, where Master Gar-
deners do their part the best way they
know how — with expertise and time
to provide Catch-A-Dream an appealing
home where all are welcome.
“Collectively, the Master Gardeners
have contributed hundreds of hours.
We’re very appreciative,” said Brunson.
“They are the epitome of a good volun-
teer group.”
Brunson welcomes visitors to Catch-
A-Dream headquarters at 2485 Ennis
Road during office hours, 8 a.m.-noon
and 1-5 p.m. weekdays. For more infor-
mation, contact the foundation at 662-
