The one-term,
‘busy’ council
Two surviving 1969-73 Columbus councilmen
recall accomplishments, challenges
BY MARY POLLITZ

E
very time Frank Griffin walks
into the Columbus-Lowndes
Public Library, he smiles and
chill bumps start covering his arms.
Watching children listening to
stories, college students researching
and patrons using computers, Griffin
holds his head high remembering
how he and five other Columbus
councilmen secured $600,000 in
local, state and federal funds by 1973
to build the library that remains a
fixture in Lowndes County.
“The thing we were happiest
with was building that library,” said
Griffin, 81. “You wouldn’t believe the
library that was here when we were
on the council. It was a shed. It was
a disgrace. We just all wanted to see
some progress made.”
“I remember when I was cam-
paigning, I went around saying we
needed a new library,” fellow council
member Frank “Mike” Batson, 78,
chimed in. “If you go to the library
now, drive around to the back, you’ll
see an old white brick building. That
was the library.”
Griffin was the only Democrat on
Mississippi’s first Republican-ma-
jority city council from 1969-73
— a council makeup that garnered
Republican members kudos from
President Richard Nixon on White
House letterhead. Batson and Griffin
are the only surviving members,
after M.L. McCarty passed away
earlier this month.
All six — Batson, Griffin, McCa-
rty, Max Andrews, Clarke Bozeman
and Chester Jones — were local
businessmen. With an average age
of about 40, they were the youngest
ever Columbus council up to that
time.
“I was 30,” said Batson, as
he flipped through a scrapbook
Thursday of old newspaper
clippings and photographs from
his time on the board. “I was the
youngest member of the council.”
“Youngest and probably the wis-
est,” returned Griffin with a laugh.
Batson quickly considered this
and chirped back, “We were both
wise. We didn’t run for re-elec-
tion.”
None, in fact, sought a second
term on the council, with only
McCarty — with an unsuccessful
run for mayor in 1973 — seeking any
other political office. But in the “very
busy” four years they served, they
approved resurfacing 60 percent
of the city’s streets, used grants to
improve the parks, bought two new
fire trucks, eliminated hundreds of
rundown, vacant houses, opened a
sanitary landfill, and they were the

‘likes’ to make you happier

Company trying to combat criticism
that such counts hurt mental health

AP Technology Writer
SAN FRANCISCO — In-

it tries to combat criticism
that such counts hurt men-
tal health and make people
feel bad when comparing
themselves to others.
The Facebook-owned
photo-sharing service has
been running the test in
Canada since May. Now,
Facebook said the test has
been expanded to Ireland,
Italy, Japan, Australia, Brazil
and New Zealand.
Facebook typically tests

People can still see how
many people liked their own
photos, but won’t see counts
for other people’s posts.
Rather, they could tap to see
a list of all the accounts that
liked the other posts, but
would have to count the to-
tal manually. It’s a task few
people would bother with.
Likewise, though Instagram
isn’t hiding the number of
followers on an account, it
still requires an extra tap or
two to find that.
“It makes it hard to find
who the influencers are,”
said Ryan Hilton, a 27-year
old Canadian who works in
social media and has been
part of the no-likes test for
months. “It’s hard to know

the entire building to tour groups

“I just shudder to think
that if you hadn’t seen
some of things that hap-
pened in those four years,
what this city would be

Doing something
‘worthwhile’
Even before 1969 when
the men ran for council,
all six were well acquaint-
ed as longtime friends.
Bozeman was a vet-
erinarian and Batson a
dentist. McCarty was an
insurance agent and Jones
was a quality control
engineer.
Griffin was a banker
and Andrews owned a
shoe store, facts Griffin
maintains made them the
easiest target for angry
citizens during their coun-
cil term.
“These doctors (on
the council) had it made,”
Griffin said. “I was
working for First Federal
Bank. You had to make
an appointment to see
Dr. Batson. You had to
make an appointment to
see Dr. Bozeman. Mac
was always out looking at
insurance.
“If somebody had a
complaint, they went to
the bank or they went to
Mr. Andrews’ shoe store
because they knew we
were going to be there,”
he added. “They were
going to find me.”
Still, Griffin felt run-
ning was a responsibility
he owed Columbus.
“I lived here all my
life,” Griffin said. “At that
time we had role models.
They mentored me and
they went through this
procedure of giving back
to the community. They
set an example for me
that I needed to follow
in their footsteps. It was
strictly a social responsi-
bility, a duty to run. You
didn’t run for the pay
though. We made $131 a
month, regardless of how
many meetings we had.”
And there were many
meetings. One month,
the council met 30 times,
sometimes with three
sessions in one day.
“It was cutting into my
practice,” Batson laughed.
“But it was worthwhile
what we were doing.”

Trump’s ‘go back’ remark: In workplace, it might be illegal

Similar phrases routinely show up in
EEOC lawsuits against employers alleging
discrimination, harassment or retaliation
based on race or national origin
By DAVID CRARY
and ALEXANDRA OLSON
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — President
Donald Trump’s suggestion that
four activist Democratic con-
gresswomen of color “go back”
to countries “from which they
came” has excited some in his
political base. Yet in many of
America’s workplaces and in-
stitutions, the same language
would be unacceptable and pos-
sibly illegal.
The Equal Employment Op-
portunity Commission, which
enforces federal laws against
workplace bias, explicitly cites
comments like “go back to where
you came from” as examples of
“potentially unlawful conduct.”
Similar phrases routinely
show up in lawsuits that the
EEOC files against employers
alleging discrimination, ha-
rassment or retaliation based
on race or national origin.
Apart from its legality in
workplaces, Trump’s language
has ignited impassioned re-
sponses across racial, ethnic
and political divides.
“It wasn’t Racist!” tweeted
Terrence Williams, a black co-
median who supports Trump.
“No matter what color you are
YOU can go back home or move
if you don’t like America.”

tice Antonin Scalia.
The president an-
nounced the news on
after his previous secre-
tary, Alexander Acosta,
said he would resign amid
renewed criticism of how,
as a federal prosecutor,
he handled a 2008 secret
plea deal with wealthy fi-
nancier Jeffrey Epstein.
The financier was indict-
ed this month on charges
of sexually abusing under-
age girls and pleaded not
guilty.
Friday was Acosta’s
last day on the job. His
deputy, Patrick Pizzella,
will serve as acting sec-
retary until Scalia is con-
firmed.
“Gene has led a life of
great success in the legal
and labor field and is high-
ly respected not only as a
lawyer, but as a lawyer
with great experience”
working “with labor and
everyone else,” Trump
wrote.
Scalia, 55, served for a
year as the Labor Depart-
ment’s top lawyer, its so-
licitor, during the George
W. Bush administration.
But most of his career has
been spent as a partner
in the Washington office
of the Gibson, Dunn &
Crutcher firm, where he
has run up a string of vic-
tories in court cases on
behalf of business inter-
ests challenging labor and
financial regulations.

2020 debates: Biden-Harris rematch and progressive faceoff

CNN is broadcasting the debates, with 20
candidates spread evenly over July 30-31
By BILL BARROW
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The second
set of summer Democratic
presidential debates will fea-
ture a rematch with a twist, plus
the first showdown of leading
progressives as the party wres-
tles with its philosophical iden-
tity and looks ahead to a 2020
fight against President Donald
Trump.
Former Vice President Joe
Biden and California Sen. Ka-
mala Harris will take center
stage in Detroit on July 31, bare-
ly a month after Harris used the
first debates to propel herself
into the top tier with an aggres-
sive takedown of the 76-year-
old Biden’s long record on race.
CNN, which is broadcasting
the debates, assigned candi-
dates randomly with a drawing
Thursday night, with 20 candi-
dates spread evenly over two
nights, July 30-31.
This time, Harris, the lone
black woman in the field, will be
joined by another top black can-
didate, New Jersey Sen. Cory
Booker, who also has been an
outspoken critic of Biden. Book-
er had denounced Biden for his
recollections of the “civility” of
working in a Senate that includ-
ed white supremacists and for
his leadership on a 1994 crime
bill that the New Jersey senator
assailed as a mass incarceration
agent in the black community.
Meanwhile, Sens. Bernie
Sanders of Vermont and Eliza-
beth Warren of Massachusetts
lead the July 30 lineup, allowing
the two progressive icons to
compete directly for the affec-
tions of the party’s left flank.
They will be joined by several
more moderate candidates who
are likely to question the sen-
ators’ sweeping proposals for
single-payer health insurance
and tuition-free college, among
other plans.
Biden vs. Harris has quick-
ly become the defining candi-
date-on-candidate juxtaposition
in the early months of the con-
test.

Mueller’s testimony poses risk

for Trump, but also Democrats
‘Let us listen, let us see where the
facts will take us. And then, we’ll see
what happens after that.’
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
By LISA MASCARO and
MARY CLARE JALONICK
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Rob-
ert Mueller’s testimony be-
fore Congress will depend
not so much on what he
says, but that he’s even say-
ing it at all.
For Democrats, the
special counsel’s appear-
ance Wednesday creates a
moment many have been
waiting for: Mueller finally
speaking out, piercing the
public consciousness about
President Donald Trump’s
response to the Russia in-
vestigation and whether
anything should be done
about it.
The political stakes are
high for Trump, but also
for Democrats, who have
spent the past two years
pushing toward this day. As
public attention has drifted
and views have hardened,
Democrats are counting on
Americans hearing what
most have not likely read
— the stunning findings of
Mueller’s 448-page report .
“Let us listen, let us see
where the facts will take
us,” said House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. “And
then, we’ll see what hap-
pens after that.”
Yet there’s a real possi-
bility that Mueller may not
bring clarity.
It took months to nego-
tiate his appearance before
Congress and he has been
reluctant to speak beyond
what he and his team
wrote. Few bombshells are
expected. As the House
Judiciary Committee and
the House Intelligence
Committee gavel in, the
buttoned-down prosecutor,
once envisioned as a trust-
ed last word, may deliver
just-the-facts responses
that leave more questions
than answers.
Rather than galvaniz-
ing public opinion and the
questions of impeachment,
Mueller’s reluctant appear-
ance may become just an-
other chapter in the Trump
era that won’t be closed un-
til the 2020 election.
Trump tried to project a
lack of interest, claiming he
will not tune in to Wednes-
day’s hourslong hearings
and saying Democrats are
“just playing games.”
“I won’t be watching
Mueller,” he told reporters.
The nation, though, will
likely pay attention.
Mueller’s appearance
comes more than two years
since the start of the Russia
investigation, an extraordi-
nary moment in Trump’s
presidency when, after
Trump had fired FBI Direc-
tor James Comey, his Jus-
tice Department appointed
Mueller to take over the in-
quiry into election interfer-
ence and the potential role
that Trump and his win-
ning 2016 campaign may
have played.

Florida sheriff to investigate Epstein’s work release

By CURT ANDERSON
and ALI SWENSON
The Associated Press
MIAMI — A Florida
sheriff launched an in-
vestigation Friday into
whether his department
properly monitored the
wealthy financier Jeffrey
Epstein while he was
serving a sentence for so-
liciting prostitution from
underage girls.
The inquiry will focus
on whether deputies as-
signed to monitor Epstein
in a work-release program
violated any rules or regu-
lations, Palm Beach Coun-
ty Sheriff Ric Bradshaw
said in a statement. Under
a 2008 plea deal, Epstein
was allowed to spend most
of his days at the office
of his now-defunct Flor-
ida Science Foundation,
which doled out research
grants, rather than in the
county jail.
“All aspects of the mat-
ter will be fully investigat-
ed to ensure total account-
ability and transparency,”
Bradshaw said.
Epstein, 66, was con-
victed on one count of
procuring a person under
age 18 for prostitution and
one count of solicitation of
prostitution. He served a
13-month sentence, regis-
tered as a sex offender and
paid restitution to victims.
While only convicted on
two counts, prosecutors
alleged that Epstein had
been involved with dozens
of underage teenage girls.
His plea deal helped
him avoid more serious
federal charges.

Roses and thorns
A rose to
Community
Recovery
of Lowndes
County, which
will now have
the resources it needs to help
those whose homes were dam-
aged in the Feb. 23 tornado.
The organization was founded
in the wake of the tornado
and is of vital importance for
private home owners who lack
proper insurance. FEMA earli-
er announced it would provide
no funding for private prop-
erty owners, so Community
Recovery had been confined to
providing only minor assis-
tance. That changed this week
when MEMA announced it was
providing the organization with
$250,000 — five $50,000 in-
stallments. Community Recov-
ery director Nicole Clinkscales
said the organization has nine
projects ready to go now that
the funding has arrived. This
is a huge shot in the arm for
residents, and the entire city,
since recovery affects not only
those directly affected by the
tornado, but all of us. When
one area suffers, we all suffer.
A rose to
Wesley Gor-
don, who was
selected to
serve on the
Starkville-Ok-
tibbeha Consolidated School
District board Tuesday, and
the two other applicants for
the position. The Starkville
Board of Aldermen members
stated openly it was a difficult
decision. Gordon, along with
applicants Donna Sims and
Ryan Walker, brought excellent
credentials, so much so that it
seemed the board would like
to have appointed all three. As
problems go it’s a pretty good
problem to have. The school
board will benefit from Gor-
don’s presence. Meanwhile, we
hope that Sims and Walker will
again offer their services when
a future board opening arises.
A rose to
East Mississip-
pi Community
College, which
again is gear-
ing its class
lineup for real jobs. This time,
it’s a barbering program, which
will begin when fall classes
commence. The U.S. Bureau
of Labor estimates the demand
for barbers, hairstylists and
cosmetologists will increase
by 13 percent by 2026, so this
class will prepare people for
work that will be in demand.
Let’s face it, hairstyles come
and go, but the need for those
trained to perform this service
will always be with us. The
class will provide students with
the knowledge and experience
(1,500 hours over the nine-
month course) they’ll need
to pass the Mississippi Board
of Barber Examiners test to
become licensed barbers.
A rose to
Glen Lautzen-
hiser, whose
group gained
approval of
the Columbus
City Council to honor a Co-
lumbus-born boxing legend.
During Tuesday’s council
meeting, a portion of Third
Street North was designated
as “Henry Armstrong Way” in
honor of the man who became
the first and only boxer to si-
multaneously hold three world
weight class titles. Born in
Columbus in 1912, Armstrong
dominated three divisions —
featherweight, welterweight
and lightweight — but since
those achievements came
in the 1930s, his career may
have been lost in the passage
of time. Lautzenhiser and his
group hope to raise money to
erect a statue in his honor as
well as provide money for a
documentary being prepared
by Armstrong’s grandson.
After retiring from the ring,
Armstrong served his commu-
nity through his work with chil-
dren and as a pastor. He died in
1988 — gone, perhaps, but not
forgotten in is old hometown,
thanks to this group’s efforts.

6 percent of construction cost to the J5
firm to over all construction? What are
we getting for the monies paid? Why
did we go to Biloxi for the original
plans? Somebody has been snookered
and it is the taxpayers. I feel we are
owed an explanation from the mayor,
fire chief and J5.
No wonder our streets, drain-
age and everything else is going to
hell in a hand basket. The city can’t
build a 10,000 square foot building
in 36 months. Efficiency is not in the
current administration’s vocabulary.
Unless the public takes a stand and
demands accountability and transpar-
ency, we will get nothing more. The
city administration will not give the
public a true financial report. How
much has J5 been paid over the past
6-plus years? Who knows what else
is going on? The city belongs to the
citizens, not to those elected to run the
town. Accountability and transparency
is all I am asking for. Please join me
and a few others that are concerned in
taking our fair city back.
God Bless Columbus and America.

Nation celebrates 50th anniversary of 1st lunar footsteps

‘Few moments in our American story spark
more pride than the Apollo 11 mission’
By MARCIA DUNN
AP Aerospace Writer
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
A moonstruck nation celebrated
the 50th anniversary of human-
ity’s first footsteps on another
world Saturday, gathering in re-
cord heat at races and other fes-
tivities to commemorate Apollo
11’s “giant leap” by Neil Arm-
strong and Buzz Aldrin.
At NASA’s Kennedy Space
Center, Aldrin showed Vice
President Mike Pence the launch
pad where he flew to the moon in
1969. At the same time halfway
around the world, an American
President Donald Trump
and two other astronauts blasted
into space from Kazakhstan on
a Russian rocket. And in Arm-
strong’s hometown of Wapako-
neta, Ohio, nearly 2,000 runners
competed in “Run to the Moon”
races.
“We’re celebrating the 50th
anniversary of perhaps the most
historic event in my lifetime,
maybe in anybody’s lifetime,
the landing on the moon,” said
10K runner Robert Rocco, 54,
of Centerville, Ohio. “The ‘60s
were very turbulent. But that
one bright wonderful moment
was the space program.”
The Eagle lunar lander, car-
rying Armstrong and Aldrin,
landed on the Sea of Tranquility
on July 20, 1969. Armstrong was
the first one out, proclaiming for
the ages: “That’s one small step
for man, one giant leap for man-
kind.”
“Few moments in our Ameri-
can story spark more pride than
the Apollo 11 mission,” President
Donald Trump said in a Space
Exploration Day message. His
statement reiterated the goal of
sending astronauts back to the
moon within five years and tak-
ing “the next giant leap — send-
ing Americans to Mars.”
Armstrong died in 2012, leav-
ing Aldrin, 89, and command
module pilot Michael Collins, 88,
to mark the golden anniversary.
Both astronauts and the Arm-
strong family met with Trump in
the Oval Office on Friday, with
Collins pushing for a direct mis-
sion to Mars and skipping the
moon, and Aldrin expressing
dismay at the past few decades
of human space exploration.
On Saturday, Pence, Aldrin
and Armstrong’s older son, Rick,
visited the Apollo 11 launch pad,
now leased by SpaceX, and the
building now named for Arm-
strong where the astronauts
suited up for liftoff on July 16,
1969.
In New York City, organizers
moved a moon-landing party
from Times Square into a hotel
because of the heat wave. Young-
sters joined former space shuttle
astronaut Winston Scott there,
as a giant screen showed the Sat-
urn V rocket lifting off with the
Apollo 11 crew in 1969.
Across the country in Seat-
tle, Tim Turner was first in line
at the Museum of Flight to see
the Apollo 11 command mod-
ule, Columbia, on display there.
Collins orbited the moon alone
in Columbia, as Armstrong and
Aldrin descended to the gray,
desolate surface.
Turner, who drove 75 miles
from his home in Poulsbo,
Washington, recalled watching
the lunar landing on his family’s
black-and-white TV in Tennes-
see, then going outside to gaze
at the moon.
“There was just excitement,”
Turner said. “It was just the nov-
elty of it all. Good grief! It’s still
amazing, the No. 1 feat of the
20th century, if not all of modern
history, that first time there.”

Hot weather is intensifying hold

on much of East, Central US
By JENNIFER PELTZ
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Ameri-
cans from Texas to Maine
sweated out a steamy Sat-
urday as a heat wave can-
celed events from festivals
to horse races and pushed
New York City to order
power-saving steps to
avoid overtaxing the elec-
trical grid.
The National Weather
Service said “a dangerous
heat wave” was expected
to break record highs in
some places, particularly
for nighttime. Daytime
temperatures were poised
to hit the mid- to upper
90s, with high humidity
making it feel consider-
ably hotter.
“It’s brutal,” Jeffrey
Glickman said as he
paused during a run Satur-
day in Washington.
The 37-year-old got out
early to try to escape the
worst heat but still planned
to cut his route short on an
already 90-degree morn-
ing.
“You just have to pow-
er through it the best you
can,” he said.
Many places facing ex-
cessive heat this weekend
have no air conditioning,
with cities opening shel-
ters for people to cool off.
While the Midwest will
get some relief Sunday as
a cold front moves in, the
East isn’t so lucky, the
weather service warned.
In Norwich, Con-
necticut, Larry Konecny
watched as one of his work-
ers a couple of stories up in
a boom lift cleaned the out-
side of an office building.
The pair had no choice but
to work in 90-degree heat
and stifling humidity be-
cause the job needed to be
done when office workers
were away, Konecny said.
“He’s pressure-wash-
ing, so the water is splash-
ing. So at least there’s
some degree of refresh-
ment,” he said.

OB-GYN’s
license still
suspended amid
misconduct
complaints
The Associated Press

JACKSON — A Missis-
sippi judge says she won’t
block a state board’s de-
cision to suspend the
medical license of an OB-
GYN physician who faces
several complaints about
sexual misconduct.
The Mississippi Board
of Medical Licensure on
July 10 temporarily sus-
pended the license of Dr.
Walter Ray Wolfe, who
practices in Canton.
One complaint was
that Wolf had an affair
with one of his married
employees and tried to
insert abortion-inducing
drugs into her while she
was pregnant with his
child. The baby was later
born.
The Clarion Ledger
reports Hinds County
Chancery Judge Tiffany
Grove on Thursday de-
nied Wolfe’s request that
she block the suspension.
The state board has a
more extensive hearing
on Wolfe’s license next
week.
Wolfe’s attorney said
in court papers that alle-
gations of misconduct are
“preposterous.”

MSU legend returns to Starkville

STARKVILLE — Former Mis-
sissippi State and current Dallas
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott
wasn’t expecting it.
As he walked into The Little Doo-
ey, one of his favorite food spots in
Starkville, a banner graced the wall
at the establishment off highway 12
that read “Welcome back Dak.”
“I had no idea it was coming,” he
said of the sign. “That’s an exam-
ple of going to a place I loved to eat
when I was here and then they’ve
got a banner hung up knowing I’m
in town and it’s just special to be
back.”
The nod to the one-time MSU
signal caller was the first of many
warm welcomes he has enjoyed
during his return to campus this
weekend.
Prescott’s appearance in his col-
legiate hometown has become an
annual part of his summer agenda.
Saturday and Sunday he’s hosting
the Dak Prescott Football ProCamp
at the Leo Seal Jr. Football Com-
plex at Mississippi State. Roughly
450 participants from first through
eighth grade are expected in train-
ing sessions with Prescott and
other counselors over the two-day
event. A lunch was also provided for
underprivileged campers Saturday.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Sánchez, Adams pace Nationals past Braves

Nationals 5, Braves 3
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Aníbal Sán-
chez outpitched Mike Soroka
and scored the go-ahead run
in the fifth inning, Matt Ad-
ams homered and the Wash-
ington Nationals beat the At-
lanta Braves 5-3 on Saturday
night.
Second-place Washington
pulled within 5½ games of the
NL East-leading Braves, im-
proving to 33-14 since May 24,
best in the majors over that
span. Atlanta has dropped
Sánchez Adams
four of five.
Sánchez (6-6) got a big as-
sist in the bottom of the fifth
when shortstop Trea Turner
turned a bases-loaded dou-
ble play, leaping to nab Nick
Markakis’ liner and throwing
to first to beat Josh Donaldson
back to the bag.
Soroka (10-2) allowed four
runs and nine hits in six in-
nings. He had won 10 straight
decisions, best by an Atlanta
pitcher since Hall of Famer
Greg Maddux had a 10-deci-
sion streak in 2001.
Sean Doolittle got the last
five outs, facing the minimum,
for his 21st save in 25 chances.
He struck out Ronald Acuña
Jr. with a runner at second to
end the eighth and breezed
through the ninth.
Washington went up 4-1
in the fifth when Sánchez
reached on an infield single
to third, took second on Don-
aldson’s throwing error and
scored on Turner’s double.
Turner took third on Adam Ea-
ton’s single and scored on An-
thony Rendon’s single. Eaton
scored on Juan Soto’s single.
The Nationals took a 5-3
lead in the eighth off A.J.
Minter as Turner singled,
stole second and scored on
Eaton’s single.
Adams went deep for the
15th time, an opposite-field
homer that bounced off the
top of the wall in left-center
and into the stands to tie it at
1-all in the fourth.
Sánchez, who pitched
for the Braves last year and
helped them win the division,
allowed three runs and six
hits and has a 2.70 ER A in his
last nine starts.
Atlanta led 1-0 in the first
when Acuña reached on an
infield single, stole second
base, advanced on a flyout and
scored on Freddie Freeman’s
single.
Brian McCann’s ninth ho-
mer, a two-run shot in the
sixth, chased Sánchez and cut
the lead to 4-3.

Alonso, Mets power
up to pound Giants 11-4
SAN FRANCISCO —
Pete Alonso set another re-
cord after making a small
tweak to his swing. Dom-
inic Smith quickly got re-
demption. And the New
York Mets bounced back
from a pair of frustrating
extra-inning losses.
Alonso came off the
bench and hit his 33rd
home run, setting the
Mets rookie record for
RBIs as New York beat
San Francisco 11-4 Satur-
day to end the Giants’ sev-
en-game winning streak.
Smith, Jeff McNeil and
Todd Frazier all went deep
as the Mets powered up
with four home runs, one
day after losing 1-0 in 10
innings. Walker Lockett
(1-1) pitched five mostly
sharp innings to earn his
first major league victory.
Before the game Calla-
way said that he felt Alon-
so needed a break with his
young first baseman in a
3-for-30 slump coming out
of the All-Star break after
winning the Home Run
Derby.
Alonso wasn’t hap-
py — “I don’t feel worn
down,” he said — but used
the time to work on his
swing, then took a spot on
the bench until Callaway
called for him to pinch-hit
in the pitcher’s spot in the
sixth.
Alonso’s three-run ho-
mer off Derek Holland
gave him 75 RBIs, one
more than Darryl Straw-
berry had as a Mets rookie
in 1983. Alonso already
holds the franchise rookie
records for home runs and
extra-base hits.
Callaway beamed after-
ward.
New York is 5-3 on its
nine-game road trip. The
Mets’ only other winning
road trip came when they
started the year 5-1 away
from Citi Field.
Pablo Sandoval singled
four times for the Giants.
San Francisco (49-50)
had won 14 of 16 and was
attempting to get above
.500 for the first time this
season.
Lockett gave up five
hits and one run after be-
ing called up from Triple-A
Syracuse before the game.
He struck out three and
didn’t walk a batter.
Smith, whose error in
left field in the 10th in-
ning allowed the winning
run to score Friday night,
hit a solo home run in the
second, had an RBI single
in the fourth then added
a two-run single in the
ninth.
McNeil homered in the
fifth off the foul pole in
right. Frazier hit his 13th
home run in the sixth, four
batters before Alonso went
deep.
Jeff Samardzija (7-8)
allowed four runs and six
hits in five innings. He has
lost all six career starts
against the Mets.
Báez, bullpen lead
streaking Cubs over
Padres 6-5
CHICAGO — Javier
Báez tagged the San Di-
ego Padres in all sorts of
ways.
The Chicago Cubs star
hit a go-ahead, three-run
homer, then made a nifty
play with his glove in the
ninth inning Saturday to
help preserve a 6-5 victo-
ry.
The game started out
as a slugfest in swelter-
ing conditions at Wrig-
ley Field before the wind
suddenly shifted in the
seventh, the temperature
dropped and the pitchers
took command.
Cubs relievers Bran-
don Kintzler, Steve Cis-
hek and Pedro Strop
each pitched a scoreless
inning. Closer Craig Kim-
brel worked around two
walks in the ninth for his
sixth save — with a big
assist from Báez.
With one out, Wil My-
ers attempted to steal
second and catcher Victor
Caratini’s throw sailed
high toward the first-base
side of the bag. Báez,
though, made an acrobat-
ic catch and in the same
motion dropped a no-look
tag on Myers’ left foot for
the out.
The Padres challenged
and the call was upheld af-
ter review.
Anthony Rizzo had
two hits and drove in two
runs and Robel Garcia
added an RBI triple as NL
Central-leading Chicago
improved to 7-1 since the
All-Star break.
Manny Machado hit a
two-run shot for his 200th
career homer and Fernan-
do Tatis Jr. and Hunter
Renfroe also connected
for San Diego.
Jose Quintana (8-7)
won his fourth straight
start despite allowing five
runs on eight hits and
three homers in five in-
nings.
San Diego starter Joey
Lucchesi (7-5) allowed six
runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3
innings as his career-high
streak of 12 straight out-
ings of at least five innings
came to an end.
Chicago grabbed a 2-0
lead in the first. Rizzo
drove in the first run with
an RBI groundout to plate
Báez and Garcia followed
with a triple to drive in
Kris Bryant.
Tatis led off the third
with a solo shot. Macha-
do’s homer later in the in-
ning put the Padres ahead
3-2.
After Rizzo tied it with
a run-scoring single in the
bottom half, Tatis had a
sacrifice fly in the fourth
to put the Padres back on
top 4-3.
Báez hit his 24th ho-
mer in the fourth for a 6-4
lead. Renfroe homered in
the fifth.
Machado led off the
seventh with a drive that
Bryant reached up to
catch at the wall in left
just as the wind started to
shift.

SEAT TLE — Kelvin Leerdam’s late
dramatics made certain a disallowed
goal from 16-year-old Danny Leyva be-
came an afterthought.
Leerdam scored in the sixth minute
of second-half stoppage time after Ley-
va’s goal earlier in the second half had
been overruled on video review, and the
Seattle Sounders beat rival Vancouver
Whitecaps 1-0 victory on Saturday night
in their second Cascadia Cup showdown
of the season.
“It was a beautiful goal and I think
(Leyva) deserved it. But the rules, stu-
pid rules,” Leerdam said. “I’m always
happy to score, happy to help the team
out.”
While Leyva’s goal was overturned,
there was no denying Leerdam’s goal
after Seattle had an extended peri-
od of possession deep in Vancouver’s
end in the closing minutes. Leerdam’s
right-footed shot from near the penal-
ty spot beat Vancouver goalkeeper Zac
MacMath.
It was the fifth goal of the season for
Leerdam and gave Seattle its first win
since beating Orlando City on May 15.
Vancouver saw its six-game unbeaten
streak come to an end, although five of
the six had finished in draws. Vancou-
ver coach Marc Dos Santos was unhap-
py with his team having to play a third
game in eight days.
“Let’s educate everybody in that
we’re playing league games while there
is the Gold Cup. It’s actually amateur-
ish,” Dos Santos said. “It’s not good for
us, it’s not good for Seattle, it’s not good
for the environment for all of the fans
that were here today.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio — David Accam
broke a tie in the 46th minute and the
Columbus Crew beat the 10-man Mon-
treal Impact 2-1 on Saturday night to
snap a 10-game winless streak.
Accam curled it past goalkeeper
Evan Bush to give the Crew (6-14-3)
the lead. The goal was initially disal-
lowed after Accam was called offside
on Pedro Santos’ pass, but referee Rob-
ert Sibiga quickly overturned it, giving
the Crew the goal after video review.
The Impact (9-11-3) went down a
While Leerdam’s goal was the win-
ner, Leyva was the star of the night as
he became the third-youngest player to
start an MLS match and nearly netted
his first goal, only to have a review by
referee Alan Kelly nullify the strike.
Levya appeared to give Seattle the
lead in the 60th minute with a chipped
shot from well outside the penalty area
into an open Vancouver goal. The net
was unguarded after MacMath tried to
beat Seattle’s Justin Dhillon to a loose
ball and inadvertently had his foot
stepped on. With MacMath down and
the goal open, Leyva chipped the rest of
the Vancouver defense to momentarily
give Seattle the lead.
Vancouver argued Dhillon fouled
MacMath and Kelly agreed following
the video review.
“I was happy for about 30 seconds
until it was overruled. Then I was real-
ly mad, but you have to keep going with
the game,” Leyva said.

with a number of starters still off on in-
ternational duty, including Jordan Mor-
ris, Cristian Roldan, Nicolas Lodeiro
and Raul Ruidiaz. Playmaking midfield-
er Victor Rodriguez tweaked his ham-
string in practice on Friday and was
held out for precautionary reasons. The
absences forced Seattle to sign and start
Dhillon from its developmental USL
squad, and give Leyva his first start. Se-
attle also brought on 17-year-old Alfonso
Ocampo-Chavez as a sub in the second
half.
Vancouver was without five players
due to international duty. The White-
caps’ best chance at a winner came in
the 57th minute when Ali Adnan’s shot
from a tight angle surprised goalkeeper
Stefan Frei and forced an awkward save.
“It was a back-and-forth game where
I think we could have been a little better
in their half. Sometimes, we had some
space to create better chances,” Dos
Santos said. “There are things in our de-
cision-making that needed to be better.”

GOLF: BRITISH OPEN GOLF: LPGA TOUR

Schauffele goes after R&A for Clanton, Suwannapura win
handling of failed driver test LPGA Tour team event
The Associated Press
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Xander
Schauffele was still running hot Saturday in the
British Open, and it had nothing to do with a 69 that
left him 11 shots out of the lead at Royal Portrush.
Schauffele accused the R&A of trying to ruin his
image by not keeping private that his Callaway driv-
er failed to conform to the limits of the trampoline
effect. He says one player jokingly referred to him
as a cheater, and he claimed he was not the only
player whose driver didn’t pass in random testing
this week.
“The R&A, they (ticked) me off because they at-
tempted to ruin my image by not keeping this mat-
ter private,” Schauffele said. “This is me coming out
and treating them the exact way they treated me.”
Schauffele was among 30 players randomly se-
lected to have his driver tested at Royal Portrush
to make sure it conformed. Tiger Woods was on the
list and gave a thumbs-up when asked if his driver
passed the test.
Schauffele says he wasn’t aware his driver didn’t
conform until notified. He worked into Tuesday eve-
ning to find a replacement, didn’t feel he had the
right club when he opened with a 74, made some ad-
justments and followed with a 65 on Friday.
What bothered him was that the R&A didn’t
test the entire 156-man field — and that the matter
wasn’t kept private.
“Other drivers failed,” he said. “This matter
should be private. But the R&A didn’t do their job
in keeping it private. ... It’s an unsettling topic. I’ve
been called a cheater by my fellow opponents. It’s
all joking, but when someone yells ‘Cheater’ in front
of 200 people to me, it’s not going down very well.”
Schauffele brought up the failed test after he fin-
ished his second round on Friday, so it wasn’t clear
what the R&A said or did.
A spokesman for the R&A said in a statement,
“We always listen to feedback from players and have
done so in this situation. We will continue to treat
this as a private and confidential matter.”
Schauffele says he was angered by an official
who said to his father, “How’s our testing going af-
ter Thursday?” He said the “cheater” reference was
from a player who had heard about the failed test
and was playfully giving him a hard time.
Schauffele didn’t find any of it funny.
“Everyone on the grounds knew for some odd
reason,” he said. “So that’s enough to throw me off
my game. It was just handled unprofessionally. And
it did tick me off.”
The Associated Press
MIDLAND, Mich. — Cydney Clanton and Jasmine
Suwannapura ran away with the Dow Great Lakes Bay
Invitational on Saturday, shooting an 11-under 59 in
best-ball play for a six-stroke victory.t
Clanton and Suwannapura took a five-shot lead into
the final round after shooting an alternate-shot 63 on
Friday at Midland Country Club in the LPGA Tour’s
first-year team event. They finished at 27-under 253.
“It’s pretty awesome,” Suwannapura said. “I couldn’t
ask for a better partner.”
Suwannapura won her second tour title, and Clanton
her first.
Clanton earned spots the next two weeks in the Evi-
an Championship and Women’s British Open. The first
Auburn University player to win on the tour, she began
the season without a full LPGA Tour card after finishing
$8 out of the top 100 on the 2018 money list. Clanton
has split time this year on the LPGA Tour and devel-
opmental Symetra Tour, winning the Symetra Tour’s El
Dorado Shootout in April.
“I couldn’t even dream up to have won a Symetra
event earlier this year and then to come out and win
with Jasmine,” Clanton said. “It’s so funny, this is the
tournament that I wanted to come and play in. I was
like, ‘Team event, I’m in, let’s go.’ So, I’m blessed for the
opportunity, I’m blessed that Jasmine came and let me
come play with her.”
Jin Young Ko and Minjee Lee closed with a 58 to fin-
ish second.
“We both played better than we did the last time

Challenge accepted: Fleetwood out to ruin Lowry’s big day
The Associated Press
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland
— Only one player can realistical-
ly prevent the biggest golfing par-
ty ever seen on the Emerald Isle
from exploding into life at Royal
Portrush today.
Tommy Fleetwood is ready for
the challenge.
“I know what it’s going to be
like,” said Fleetwood, who will
start the final round of the British
Open in the last group for the first
time in a major, four shots behind
Ireland’s Shane Lowry. “I’ve had
my fair share of support for the
first three days. Hopefully there
will still be some people out there
rooting for me.”
Fleetwood — easily identifi-
able because of his flowing locks
and rock-star looks — is one of
the nice guys in golf, hugely pop-
ular in Europe and increasingly
across the Atlantic.
It will be one of the few occa-
sions he’ll be playing the role of
spoiler.
“It’s going to be another chap-
ter in my career, no matter what
happens,” Fleetwood said. “And
it’s going to be a very special day.”
Fleetwood’s post-round com-
ments were nearly drowned out
by chants of “Olé, olé, olé” from
jubilant fans walking away from
the grandstand at the 18th hole
after seeing Lowry complete his
tournament-best 63.
On a remarkable day on the
Dunluce Links, Lowry was sere-
naded with soccer-style songs in
the kind of backdrop usually re-
served for Ryder Cups.
Fleetwood, playing the next-
to-last group ahead of Lowry, was
swept along in the atmosphere.
He didn’t do too bad himself.
A bogey-free 66 tied for the
third-best round of the day —
only Lowry and Danny Willett
(65) shot better — and the fifth-
best round of the week. So the
28-year-old Fleetwood, looking to
win the first major of his career,
wasn’t about to beat himself up
about seeing a one-shot deficit to
Lowry grow to four.
It started with a mid-range
birdie at No. 1 that briefly had him
in a tie for the lead at 8 under. He
tapped in to pick up another shot
at No. 4, before birdies at Nos. 7,
10 and 12 moved him into a share
of the lead on each occasion.
The putts didn’t drop down the
stretch, though, as he parred his
way home. Meanwhile, Lowry
birdied four of his last seven holes
to pull away.
Indeed, Fleetwood did little
wrong, hitting all but two greens
in regulation and barely getting
into any trouble.
He just didn’t play quite as well
as Lowry.
we played four-balls,” Lee said. “We just had a better
rhythm out there. I think we just fed off each other. Jin
Young had so many birdies today, so I just tried to keep
up pretty much.”
“I’ve had full status before, but it will allow for me to
kind of sit back and relax a little bit and kind of set my
own schedule,” Clanton said. “I think it’s just going to
free me up because it’s been something that I’ve been
working on. I guess I was quite down for the first couple
years.”
Suwannapura, from Thailand, also won the Mara-
thon Classic last year.
Clanton and Suwannapura each bogeyed the first
hole, then each had eight birdies.
“Actually, felt pretty good on the first tee,” Clanton
said. “Didn’t hit a great shot into the green, but I’m not
going to lie, the majority of my rounds start with bo-
geys. So I told Jasmine, I was like, ‘Dude, we’re ready.
We’re ready to go. We got it out of the way. we’ll go low.’”
Sisters Ariya Jutanugarn and Moriya Jutanugarn tied
for third with Na Yeon Choi and Jenny Shin at 20 under.
They each shot 61.
“So much fun,” Ariya Jutanugarn said. “Need to be
patient with alternate shot, but also even best ball we
still have to be patient because we feel like you going to
make birdie hole after hole, but it’s not going to happen.”
Canadians Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp were
fifth at 19 under after a 61.

BASKETBALL: WNBA

Howard has 21 points and 10

rebounds, Storm beat Aces
Howard is playing amidst wife’s social media allegations
of physically threatening and abusive behavior
The Associated Press
SEAT TLE — Natasha Howard had
21 points, 10 rebounds, six blocks and
four steals and the Seattle Storm beat
the Las Vegas Aces 69-66 on Friday
night for their fourth straight victory.
Howard is playing amid her wife’s
social media allegations of physically
threatening and abusive behavior. No
charges have been filed against How-
ard.
Howard filed for divorce Monday and
said in a statement provided by her law-
yer Tuesday night that she’s prepared
to cooperate with the Storm’s investiga-
tion as well as that of the WNBA.
The Aces (11-6) had their five-game
winning streak end despite holding the
defending champion Storm (12-8) to a
season-low 28% shooting and no field
goals over the final seven minutes. What
the Storm did do is grab a franchise re-
cord 18 steals, the second most in the
league this season. Jordin Canada, the
league leader, had five.
After Crystal Langhorne’s layup put
Seattle up 61-53 with 7:13 to play, the
Storm missed 10 straight shots and had
three shot-clock violations. Langhorne’s
two free throws at 6:39 made it 63-55.
Liz Cambage’s basket with 1:02 to
play pulled the Aces to 63-61. Canada
twice made a pair of free throws sand-
wiched around Kayla McBride’s 3-point-
er for a 67-64 lead with 19.3 seconds to
go. Cambage scored inside before How-
ard made two free throws at 11.4 but Las
Vegas could not make a tying shot.
Cambage had 16 points, 14 rebounds
and four blocks for the Aces. They fin-
ished with 21 turnovers.
Jewell Loyd returned to the Storm af-
ter missing seven games with an ankle
injury. She did not score in 8 1/2 min-
utes. The Aces lost Aja Wilson with a
left leg injury midway through the third
quarter.

professional deal
STARKVILLE — Elijah
MacNamee is heading to the
Midwest.
The former MSU slugger
will join the Frontier League’s
Evansville Otters per an an-
nouncement on his Twitter
page.
MacNamee hit .286 with 52
RBIs and 20 doubles in an inju-
ry shortened senior season as
helped lead the Bulldogs to the
program’s 11th College World
Series appearance.
The Cypress, Texas native
will perhaps best be remem-
bered for his walk-off home
runs against Florida State and
Vanderbilt in the 2018 NCA A
Tournament.
MacNamee, or “Big Hit
Mac” as he came to be known
in Starkville, channeled his
inner-clutch gene in his final
at-bat at Dudy Noble Field, rop-
ing a three-run homer into the
Left Field Lounge to help the
Bulldogs to an 8-0 victory over
Stanford in game two of the Su-
per Regionals.
The Otters are an indepen-
dent league team and thus are
not affiliated with a MLB ball
club. That said, Evansville has
sent 79 players to the major
leagues since 1996.

Technology, temporary help keeps farmers on job longer

Experts worry that without the older
farmers, there might not be enough younger
people interested in agriculture to support
America’s food production needs
By ANDREW SOERGEL
For The Associated Press
ALEXANDRIA, Ind. — At
79 years old, Art McManus says
he’s still able to hop on the trac-
tor and maintain the 160 acres
of cherry trees at his orchard in
Traverse City, Michigan.
His children have gone on to
start lives of their own, though
he gets some help running his
farmers market from his daugh-
ter-in-law. But he hires seasonal
help to keep the cherry opera-
tion moving. “I’ve been at it all
my life,” he says. “I enjoy it.”
For McManus and many
farmers across the country,
assistive technology, help
from seasonal hires and family
members, and a general im-
provement in the health of U.S.
seniors in recent decades have
helped them remain productive
well into their 60s, 70s and be-
yond.
Farmers staying on the job
longer can restrict land options
of younger farmers, making it
harder for beginners to crack
into the industry, experts say.
They worry that without the
older farmers, there might not
be enough younger people in-
terested in agriculture to sup-
port America’s food production
needs.
“It’s a problem,” says Milt
McGiffen, an agronomist, plant
physiologist and researcher at
the University of California,
Riverside. “There isn’t a magic
bullet to fix it. And the other
problem is you have less people
going into ag and you need more
food coming out the other end”
with a growing U.S. population.
In the U.S. last year, the me-
dian age for domestic farmers,
ranchers and other agricultural
managers was 56.4 years old.
That’s the highest median age
of any major occupation tracked
by the government’s Current
Population Survey for which
data was available. The age has
ticked up by half a year since
2012, despite the median age
of the entire labor force falling
slightly over the same period.
Nearly 29 percent of farm-
ers were at least 65 years of age
last year, and less than 13 per-
cent were under the age of 35.
Experts say steep equipment
costs, limited land availabili-
ty and competition from older
farmers are among the reasons
younger workers struggle to es-
tablish themselves.
“With the cost of land and
equipment, I don’t know how
you can make it work (as a
young farmer). It’ll cost $1 mil-
lion to get into it,” McManus
says.
Agriculture’s age imbalance
and the barriers to entry for
young farmers have not gone
unnoticed by U.S. lawmakers.
A House panel plans a hearing
Thursday to start addressing
the challenges faced by new
farmers.
“It’s important and it’s my
job to ensure Congress and this
administration hear these sto-
ries loud and clear,” said Dem-
ocratic Rep. Abby Finkenauer
of Iowa, who leads the House
Small Business subcommittee
that deals with rural develop-
ment and agriculture.
With time and money invest-
ed in land and equipment, some
older farmers are reluctant to
cede their operations to young-
er workers. Technological ad-
vancements have made it easier
for them to work longer, accord-
ing to agriculture workers and
experts.
“When it comes to machine
work, climbing in and out of the
(tractor) is about as much ener-
gy as it requires to do things.
And in terms of steering, auto
guidance has just been a freak-
ing game changer,” says John
Phipps, 71, a commentator for
“Farm Journal” and “Top Pro-
ducer” magazines who main-
tains more than 2,000 acres of
farmland with his son in eastern
Illinois.

Deer disease: No Christmas

reindeer imports to Alabama
State taking
precautions
against chronic
wasting disease
The Associated Press
JASPER, Ala. — Live
stand-ins for Santa’s rein-
deer won’t be allowed to
come into Alabama this
year, as part of the state’s
precautions against a
deadly deer disease.
So far, there hasn’t
been any chronic wasting
disease in Alabama, and
the state Department of
Conservation and Natural
Resources wants to keep
it that way.
Reindeer typically ar-
rive days before a show
and might bring in the
disease, Ed Poolos of Jas-
per, the department’s dep-
uty commissioner, told
the Rotary Club of Jasper
on Tuesday. He said rein-
deer already in Alabama
can still be used for such
displays, The Daily Moun-
tain Eagle reported.
“So everybody is
against us. We’re against
Santa Claus,” he joked.
Chronic wasting dis-
ease, or CWD, is a highly
infectious disease caused
by malformed protein
particles called prions.
Animals can spread those
for a year or two before
symptoms show, shed-
ding them in saliva, feces,
urine, blood, and antler
velvet. The disease has
been found in most kinds
of deer and related spe-
cies, including moose,
elk, mule deer, and white-
tailed deer,
It has been found in 26
states including Missis-
sippi and Tennessee.
“It’s right on our door-
step,” Poolos said.
Alabama’s latest re-
sponse plan, released July
12, also requires hunters
to debone deer killed in
other states, bringing
back only the meat, Poo-
los said.
CWD, a human infec-
tion called Creutzfelt-Ja-
cob disease and bovine
spongiform encephalop-
athy, often called mad
cow disease, all are fatal
ailments caused by prions
that damage the brain.
If CWD comes to Ala-
bama, the state will do ev-
erything possible to keep
it from spreading, Poolos
said.
“We have a large re-
sponse plan we have
worked diligently on,” he
said.

Reined-in rate-cut expectations, Iran tensions hit S&P 500

By STAN CHOE
and DAMIAN J. TROISE
AP Business Writers
NEW YORK — U.S.
stocks pulled further
back from their records
on Friday to cap the weak-
est week for the S&P 500
since May.
Indexes sloshed be-
tween small gains and
losses for much of the day
before turning lower in the
afternoon after Iran said it
seized a British oil tanker,
the latest escalation of ten-
sions between Tehran and
the West. Reined-in expec-
tations for how deeply the
Federal Reserve will cut
interest rates at its next
meeting also weighed on
stocks.
The S&P 500 fell 18.50
points, or 0.6 percent, to
2,976.61. After setting its
record high on Monday,
the index see-sawed most-
ly lower and lost 1.2 per-
cent for the week. It’s just
the second down week for
the index in the last seven.
The Dow Jones Indus-
trial Average fell 68.77, or
0.3 percent, to 27,154.20,
and the Nasdaq composite
lost 60.75, or 0.7 percent,
to 8,146.49.
Momentum for stocks
has slowed since early
June, when they began
soaring on expectations
that the Federal Reserve
will cut interest rates for
the first time in a decade to
ensure the U.S. economy
doesn’t succumb to weak-
nesses abroad. The Fed’s
next meeting is scheduled
for the end of this month.
Late Thursday, Trea-
sury yields sank after
comments by Fed officials
raised expectations that it
may cut rates by half a per-
centage point, rather than
the typical quarter point.
But yields climbed Friday
as the market grew more
convinced that the Fed
will cut just 0.25 percent-
age points on July 31.
“It could be 25 wast-
ed,” said Brent Schutte,
chief investment strategist
at Northwestern Mutu-
al Wealth Management
Company, who said a half-
point cut would be more
effective. “I think it’s more
important to shock the
market a bit and convince
the market they’re serious
about pushing inflation
above 2 percent.” If you don’t read The Dispatch, how are you gonna know?

The new box fan she’d been given at

“That fan helps a lot. It’s extremely
hot outside and even though there’s
some central air, it doesn’t reach the
second floor very well,” she said. “It
really helps in the baby’s bedroom.”

A
uthor Deborah John-
son’s novel “The Air

was recently selected as a
featured book in JetBlue’s
Soar with Reading literacy
initiative.
Started in 2015, Soar with Johnson
Reading places free book
vending machines in underserved com-
munities to increase book availability and
promote reading. This summer, six vending
machines dispensing literature for all ages
have been put in neighborhoods throughout
New York City’s five boroughs. The pro-
gram has previously visited cities including
Detroit, San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. Johnson, of Columbus, hopes it will
eventually make its way to Mississippi.
Johnson learned about her novel’s selec-
tion about three months ago.
“I was so pleased, of course, because this
is the first book that I’d done, and the whole
experience of doing this book was wonder-
ful from beginning to end,” she said of the
novel set in 1960s Mississippi.

JetBlue’s current book vending machines
will be regularly restocked through Sept.
6, providing reading for children and adults
at designated community centers, branch
libraries and parks. The emphasis is on
keeping youth engaged in reading while
school is out, and parents who read make
good role models.
Soar with Reading is a signature pro-
gram of JetBlue For Good®, the airline’s
platform for social impact and corporate
responsibility.
“JetBlue is really great to do this, to care
about literacy in the country — and not just
to care but to really do something to help
the situation. It’s such an honor to be cho-
sen to be part of something this important
and helpful. ... They do this all over, and I’m
hoping we can get this in Mississippi.”
Johnson’s second novel, “The Secret
of Magic” (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2014) was
awarded the 2015 Harper Lee Prize for

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: My boyfriend
and I have been together for
a while. He is the kindest,
most considerate and thoughtful
man I’ve ever dated.
We do not officially live to-
gether but spend the majority of
the week together, mostly at his
house. He has three very large
dogs we share the responsibility
of caring for. They are not fixed,
and he wants to have a litter of
puppies (one of which he would
keep). I strongly object for numer-
ous reasons.
He has people willing to give
them good homes, but the female
(whom I am very attached to)
had severe postpartum for more than a year
after her last litter. His house is currently in the he will take into consideration that you are
midst of an endless renovation, the dogs are
always on the furniture, and it’s
a constant struggle to keep the
place relatively clean from one day
to the next, especially since I must
also take care of my own house.
I’m a dog person, but three
large dogs are already too much. I
love the man, he is my best friend,
and I love his dogs. But I’m getting
to the point where if he decides to
have another litter and take on the
responsibility of another dog, it
may be the breaking point for me.
Would it be foolish of me to throw
away a good relationship over
Dear Abby this? — GOING TO THE DOGS IN
CONNECTICUT
DEAR GOING: I don’t think so.
If he is truly kind, considerate and thoughtful,
handling as much responsibility as you can
shoulder and not insist on yet another litter.
Because the last pregnancy was so hard on the
female, it would be interesting to know what a
veterinarian has to say about this. I’m wonder-
ing if your boyfriend may want to put her though
this for money rather than love.
DEAR ABBY: My father passed away a little
over a year ago. Since then, I have started
spending more time with my mother, and my
husband does not like it. She is a huge help
with our kids. On the day she gets them off the
school bus, she will stay for dinner. Our kids
love it when she’s here.
My husband now wants this to stop. He says
it annoys him. He gets angry when I talk to her
on the phone, when I go to her house, when I
help her with things — everything!
I am torn. I love my mother and don’t want
my relationship with her to change. But every
time I do anything with her, even have a quick
conversation, my husband throws it in my face
that I “put her before him.” Please help me. I
am not sure how much more of this I can take.
— STUCK IN THE MIDDLE
DEAR STUCK: How often is your mother at
your house, and how long does she stay after
those dinners? How often did you interact with
her before your father died? Have you been
ignoring your husband in favor of interacting
with your mom?
That he feels so encroached upon or
threatened that he’s determined to alienate you
from your widowed mother and is dictating how
often you can visit or talk with her on the phone
tells me he may be an extremely jealous and
controlling person. This is such a red flag you
should discuss it with a licensed marriage and
family therapist. If he won’t agree to go with
you, I urge you to go without him. You should
also encourage your mom to branch out into
other activities, so she can reduce the amount
of time she’s with you.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 21).
Your cosmic birthday gift will be a
sense of freedom. You’re free to feel
the way you do -- no guilt necessary.
You’ve earned and are worthy of
emotional riches, so take it. A play-
ful spirit prevails over the next 10
weeks and is quite attractive, too,
so expect new friends and opportuni-
ties to come into the picture. Aquari-
us and Gemini adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 8, 20, 14, 9 and 33.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). May-
be what you think of yourself shapes
your identity, but what shapes it
even more are how you act and what
you do. The movement involved in
executing one action will mean more
than hours and days of thought.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
want to know how the other person
does it. If you ask, you’ll learn. But if
you don’t ask -- and do some careful
observing, followed by some exper-
imenting on your own first -- you’ll
learn more.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To
get a good balance of yourself and
others is not only a very attractive
social skill but also a valuable hap-
piness skill. The inconvenient giving
you’ll do today will count toward a
more satisfied you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There are a lot of people around.
Who is actually helping you, though?
It’s almost like the more people you
could ask for help the less likely you
are to ask anyone.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Every-
thing is a path today. There are no
one-offs. What you think is a simple
agreement will wind up being, in one
way or another, a subscription. Avoid
obligating yourself. The smallest
gesture will do it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To
choose an activity that gets the
heart pumping faster will be a thrill,
a health enhancer and a gamble.
The risk is that you just may fall in
love with whatever work, play, or
person is involved.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll
connect with people when the timing
is right. So, don’t worry about people
who haven’t called back yet or any-
thing along those lines. What would
you do if you believed your social life
was divinely guided?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
There have been days when you
were so filled with purpose that
there was more than enough to
cover days like today, when you
don’t feel particularly strong about
it in any direction. Relax, accept and
trust.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Living in the moment is easier when
there are people or things present to
ground you in it. Nature can do this
for you today, especially that which
involves bodies of water.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You know what the triggers are, and
instead of avoiding them, you seem
almost to seek them out. Give your-
self the benefit of the doubt. Maybe
this isn’t self-sabotage. Rather,
you’re subconsciously trying to get
over your fear.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
People have varying needs for space
and closeness, which change over
time. Even those you’ve known a
long while may surprise you along
these lines today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Remember when that bit of life you
expected would have an emotional
effect on you just didn’t? Well, some
things just take longer to process.
You’ll likely notice some delayed
emotional impact today.

That’s when the ping of
emails into Gillespie’s mail-
box started to sound and
signaled the start of her new
job as director of the Office of
Sponsored Projects and Grant

Don’t worry, though, be-
cause the thought of having a
little more than eight hours to
settle into the position didn’t
faze Gillespie. Instead, she
welcomed the opportunity to
talk with professors about their
proposals and to tell them she
shares their enthusiasm for get-

The W move forward.
“In two or three weeks, I
was having two meetings a day

“It is really exciting to know
I don’t have to come here and
rejuvenate them. I just need
to give them the tools and the
support to try to get funding for
all of these ideas.”
Gillespie, who is from
Starkville and graduated from
Starkville High School, earned
a Bachelor of Arts degree in
communication from Mississip-
pi State in 2007. She also took
her first job in research admin-

“The opportunity to be a di-

said. “To be able to do that at

Gillespie said she is excited to
work with professors on their
ideas to help everyone take the
next step.
“It is just great for me to be
able to do this job and make
this kind of impact,” Gillespie
said. “It kind of feels full circle.

young in my career, I just feel
like I have done a whole lot,

Fan drive
Continued from Page 1C
Helping Hands Executive
Director Nancy Guerry
expects to give out about
200 fans before Mississip-
pi’s scorching heat gives
way to a cooler season.
New box fans — or funds
designated for them —
are donated by individu-
als, clubs, churches and
businesses.
“It’s a great program,
and people that need a
fan are so appreciative
of it,” Guerry said. “I’d
say 99 percent of the
time we’re giving them
to older members of the
community. Some don’t
have air conditioning, or
some of them say they’ve
got to keep their utility
bills down or they won’t
be able to afford their
medicine.”
She continued, “We
also see so many people
who are in mobile homes
or older homes that have
no insulation. And we had
one lady who needed a
fan because she couldn’t
stand having air condi-
tioning on because of her
arthritis.”
Individual situations
may vary, but the need
for the summer fan drive
that began 14 years ago
doesn’t diminish.
United Way of Lown-
des County
Executive
Director Re-
nee Sanders
joined that
agency in
the summer
of 2015. The
fan drive Sanders
was the first
project she experienced.
“What I have noticed
is that the need, the re-
quests for fans, has never
decreased,” she said,
“especially when the heat
index is blistering.”
A ‘God whisper’
Jan Ballard was
director of
United Way
of Lowndes
County
when the
fan drive
was started
in 2005.
Ballard
“The
summer
we implemented the fan
drive there was a long
stretch of excessive heat.
We received an increase
in calls from people who
had no working cooling
systems, or their systems
were inadequate,” Ballard
told The Dispatch.
Local federally funded
programs served only a
small number of people,
she noted. And United
Way funding was ded-
icated to the agencies
under its umbrella.
Paying for repairs or
installing HVAC systems
at multiple residences
was beyond the agency’s
reach.
“It was a God whisper
that providing new box
fans would help a lot of
people,” Ballard said.
The call went out, and
donations came in. “We
partnered with Helping
Hands to conduct intakes
to ensure the fans would
be distributed to those
they were intended for.”
Who is at risk?
Extreme heat is
especially debilitating for
those who are older, or
very young, or with un-
derlying health problems.
Baptist Memorial Hos-
pital-Gold-

ical Officer
Dr. Ashley
Harris
said, “My
specialty is

of older
adults. It’s very common
for seniors to not take in
adequate fluids, especial-
ly in summer. And we
actually have people in
our community who don’t
have central air; they
are at extreme risk for
becoming dehydrated.”
Many older adults are
also on medications that
can affect their ability to
handle heat, Harris said.
Fans can make a differ-
ence.
“That stifling heat
can be dangerous where
there’s no air movement,”
the doctor remarked. “A
fan can help. While it
doesn’t necessarily lower

Checking on the most
