Airport board: Columbus-Lowndes
airport improving under new operator
Dispatch file photo
One of Columbus-Lowndes Airport fixed-base operator Jared Rabren’s plans for the airport involves expanding hangar space
to make room for more renters interested in storing their planes. Rabren, who has been FBO since January, has spent the
past five months repairing airport facilities that fell into disrepair under previous leadership.

Columbus-Lowndes Airport.

available to pilots flying in and out. Rabren knew
he had to take care of those “basic things” before
anything else at the airport could get done.
In other words, he had to clean up the negative
before he could take the airport in a positive di-
rection.
“Now that we’ve gotten things to level zero, to
where they’re supposed to be, I can start thinking
about other things, which I’m excited for,” Rabren
said. “But to get to that point it took a lot of effort
cleaning up equipment and taking care of things
that should’ve been done regularly.”
As FBO, Rabren is responsible for day-to-day

Building maintenance
alone took him about two
months to get the struc-
tures back to the condi-
tion they “needed to be
in,” and the airport is only
just now going to start
carrying aviation fuel
again after being with-
out for two months while
equipment was upgraded
or repaired.
“If those things had
been taken care of earlier,
it wouldn’t have been an
issue,” Rabren said.
Rabren does much of
the maintenance and up-
keep himself to save mon-
ey, trying to reserve the
airport’s annual budget of
about $80,000 for projects
and repairs too large or
involved for him to handle
alone. He also applies reg-
ularly for Federal Aviation
Administration grants to
help fund those projects.
Most recently, the
FAA awarded the air-
port a $131,000 grant to
resurface and repair the
airport’s cracked runway.
The grant will account
for 90 percent of the to-
tal project, with the re-
mainder of the funding to
come from state and local
funds.
However, Rabren said
he doesn’t know when
he’ll have the money in-
hand to begin the work.
In the meantime, he said,
the runway is usable, but
its cracks can’t get much
worse without it becom-
ing a hazard for planes to
land.
“If there’s something
like that that we need
done, I always try to get a
grant or see how to keep
costs down to take it out
of the budget,” Rabren
said. “We have a really
small budget out here,
but there are some things
that are just a safety issue
like the runway. You can’t
let that go.”
Acting on promises
When Rabren present-
ed his proposal to operate
the facility to the airport
board back in November,
he talked about plans to
sublet the airport’s main-
tenance hangar rather
than try to hire a staff
mechanic, build a sense
of community among the
lessees at the airport and
try to draw more traffic.
Almost six months later,
he has not only acted on,
but accomplished, most
of those goals, something

board chairman Jeff

Jessie Jackson paints unfair portrait of Mississippi

The Rev. Jesse Jackson and
his Rainbow Push Coalition
recently announced they are
looking into whether officials
properly handled justice for a
Pontotoc County girl and her
family.
A’Miya Braxton was killed
when she was struck by a car af-
ter getting off a stopped school
bus in front of her house on
Oct. 4, 2016. An SUV following
the bus failed to stop, striking
and killing the 7-year-old North
Pontotoc Elementary student.
Two grand juries listened to
evidence, but neither indicted
the white driver, Karen Mi-
chelle Carpenter. Braxton was
black, and the Rainbow Push
Coalition has said it will study
allegations of racism in the
case.
Jackson is considering a visit
to Northeast Mississippi, as
reported by the Daily Journal’s
William Moore.
There have been numerous
questions asked about the case
through the years, and we are
glad to see the prominent civil
rights leader bring greater at-
tention to it. We appreciate his
interest in seeing that justice
is done for the young child and
her family, and we welcome him
to Mississippi.
However, comments Jack-
son made about the state are
concerning.
“Mississippi is still hell, but
we got the water to fight back,”
Jackson said during the coali-
tion’s annual conference last
month, as reported by Moore.
“We’ll put out the fire. We will
win Mississippi. We will not
give up until there is justice in
Mississippi.”
Jackson’s remarks show
how unfamiliar he is with
today’s Mississippi and the
progress it has made in terms
of racial reconciliation.
Without a doubt, the state
has much room to grow and
continues to face numerous
challenges in race relations.
But it’s also true that much
improvement has been made
over the past 60 years. Those
gains haven’t happened by ac-
cident, but have been achieved
by much sweat, vision, dedica-
tion and courage by countless
Mississippians.
Jackson’s comments are an
insult to their work and to all
Mississippians.
More so, by playing to a
stereotype from Mississippi’s
Jim-Crow days, Jackson may
grab national attention. But he
distracts from Braxton’s case
and causes it to lose credibil-
ity.
Jackson has said at least
two members of his staff
would be traveling to Missis-
sippi, although it is unclear at
this point whether or not he
will accompany them and what
they can legally accomplish.
We hope Mr. Jackson is able
to visit and to better under-
stand the nuanced portrait
that is Mississippi - both its
successes and its challenges.
And we hope that with a more
complete picture of our state,
he is able to help the existing
efforts to move Mississippi
forward as a more unified,
equitable and just commu-
nity. But, if the nature of his
comments is any indicator, we
won’t hold our breath waiting
for a measured and unifying
message.

State of the nation

White males
and abortion
Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., tweet-
ed in response to anti-abortion
legislation passed by the Alabama
legislature: “I refuse to believe that
these Republican men represent the
views of most Alabamians. Their
action is both unconstitutional and
shameful. The people of Alabama
deserve to be on the #rightsideof-
history -- not the side of extremists.
Women deserve better.”
It seems much more likely that
Jones is the one who is out of step. Mona Charen
A 2014 Pew poll found that Alabama
is among the most “pro-life” states in the country, with 58
percent saying the procedure should be illegal in “all or most
cases.” It’s possible that among the 58 percent who oppose
abortion in Alabama, some will find the legislation passed
this week to be too extreme, but don’t count on it. Just last
year, voters approved a state constitutional amendment
declaring that it is “the public policy of this state to recog-
nize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of
unborn children.” Fifty-nine percent of voters voted in favor.
Since the vote making abortion illegal in Alabama, Repub-
lican members of the Alabama senate have been targets of
accusations -- mostly that they are male and white. A number
of outlets pointed to the fact that all 25 votes in favor of leg-
islation were white male Republicans. OK. But the Alabama
house has lots of Republican women. The bill’s sponsor in
the lower chamber was a woman, as was the governor who
signed the bill.
Those who fixate on the “problem” of whiteness may
think this is some sort of knockout blow, but the truth is
that these senators are accurately representing the views
of their constituents, including women. A 2018 PRRI survey
found that 60 percent of Republican women agreed with the
statement, “Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and should be
overturned.” This compared with only 47 percent of Re-
publican men. Democratic pollster Celinda Lake notes that
women tend to be more religious than men, and this aligns
with more conservative views on abortion.
Still, partisan lines remain blurry on abortion. More than
a third of Republicans favor keeping abortion legal. Until
Brett Kavanaugh’s ascension to the Supreme Court, the issue
may not have ranked very high for them. They could vote for
Republicans -- with whom they agree on other issues -- safe
in the knowledge that nothing would threaten the regime of
legal abortion throughout the nation. Now that the Court has
a possible majority for overturning Roe, the calculations of
moderate Republicans may change.
Moderate Democrats may be out in the cold, too. In the
aftermath of the 2018 election, Democrats burst from the
gate with legislation that expanded abortion even beyond
Roe’s contours. New York passed the Reproductive Health
Act that permits even late-term abortions in the “absence of
fetal viability, or (when) the abortion is necessary to protect
the patient’s life or health.” When health is interpreted to
mean “mental health,” it opens a gaping loophole. Some-
times late-term pregnancies must be terminated to save the
mother’s physical health, but that doesn’t mean an abortion
is required. Even very premature infants commonly survive
these days.
Democrats also painted themselves as abortion extrem-
ists by opposing the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protec-
tion Act, insisting -- falsely -- that these abortions are only
performed when there are severe fetal abnormalities or when
the mother’s life is at risk.
But now Republicans risk being viewed as extremists.
With seven states having passed abortion laws that may
transgress the boundaries established by Roe, the question
now is whether the “pro-life” cause is best served by this
frontal assault strategy. The Alabama law makes no excep-
tions for cases of rape or incest. And while it’s true that the
child bears no guilt for the way he or she was conceived, it
may not be prudent to refuse to concede that ground. A 2018
Gallup poll found that 77 percent of respondents want abor-
tion to be legal in cases of rape and incest. The exception
has long been included in other “pro-life” legislation, like the
Hyde Amendment.
Whatever happens, these stirrings at the state level may
provoke an overdue reckoning about the truth of abortion. It
isn’t rare. It is usually performed on perfectly healthy moth-
ers and babies. And it isn’t the only alternative for women
unable to raise a child. There are 36 couples waiting for an
adoptive child for every one placed. Why is that humane
solution so commonly overlooked?

Policy Center.
State of the World
Who wants this war with Iran?
Speaking on state
TV of the prospect of a
war in the Gulf, Iran’s
supreme leader Ayatol-
lah Khamenei seemed to
dismiss the idea.
“There won’t be any
war. ... We don’t seek
a war, and (the Ameri-
cans) don’t either. They
know it’s not in their
interests.”
The ayatollah’s analy- Patrick Buchanan
sis — a war is in neither
nation’s interest — is
correct. Consider the consequences of a war
with the United States for his own country.
Iran’s hundreds of swift boats and handful of
submarines would be sunk. Its ports would be
mined or blockaded. Oil exports and oil revenue
would halt. Air fields and missile bases would
be bombed. The Iranian economy would crash.
Iran would need years to recover.
And though Iran’s nuclear sites are under
constant observation and regular inspection,
they would be destroyed.
Tehran knows this, which is why, despite 40
years of hostility, Iran has never sought war
with the “Great Satan” and does not want this
war to which we seem to be edging closer every
day.
What would such a war mean for the United
States?
It would not bring about “regime change”
or bring down Iran’s government that survived
eight years of ground war with Saddam Hus-
sein’s Iraq.
If we wish to impose a regime more to our
liking in Tehran, we will have to do it the way
we did it with Germany and Japan after 1945, or
with Iraq in 2003. We would have to invade and
occupy Iran.
But in World War II, we had 12 million men
under arms. And unlike Iraq in 2003, which is
one-third the size and population of Iran, we do
not have the hundreds of thousands of troops to
call up and send to the Gulf.
Nor would Americans support such an inva-
sion, as President Donald Trump knows from
his 2016 campaign. Outside a few precincts,
America has no enthusiasm for a new Mideast
war, no stomach for any occupation of Iran.
Moreover, war with Iran would involve fire-
fights in the Gulf that would cause at least a tem-
porary shutdown in oil traffic through the Strait
of Hormuz — and a worldwide recession.
How would that help the world? Or Trump in
2020?
How many allies would we have in such a
war?
Spain has pulled its lone frigate out of John
Bolton’s flotilla headed for the Gulf. Britain,
France and Germany are staying with the nucle-
ar pact, continuing to trade with Iran, throwing
ice water on our intelligence reports that Iran is
preparing to attack us.
Turkey regards Iran as a cultural and eco-
nomic partner. Russia was a de facto ally in
Syria’s civil war. China continues to buy Iranian
oil. India just hosted Iran’s foreign minister.
So, again, Cicero’s question: “Cui bono?”
Who really wants this war? How did we reach
this precipice?
A year ago, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
issued a MacArthurian ultimatum, making 12
demands on the Tehran regime.
Iran must abandon all its allies in the Middle
East — Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in
Yemen, Hamas in Gaza — pull all forces under
Iranian command out of Syria, and then disarm
all its Shiite militia in Iraq.
Iran must halt all enrichment of uranium,
swear never to produce plutonium, shut down
its heavy water reactor, open up its military
bases to inspection to prove it never had a secret
nuclear program and stop testing missiles. And
unless she submits, Iran will be strangled with
sanctions.
Pompeo’s speech at the Heritage Foundation
read like the terms of some conquering Caesar
dictating to some defeated tribe in Gaul, though
we had yet to fight and win the war, usually a
precondition for dictating terms.
Iran’s response was to disregard Pompeo’s
demands.
And crushing U.S. sanctions were imposed,
to brutal effect.
Yet, as one looks again at the places where
Pompeo ordered Iran out — Lebanon, Yemen,
Gaza, Syria, Iraq — no vital interest of ours was
imperiled by any Iranian presence.
The people who have a problem with Hamas
in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon are the
Israelis whose occupations spawned those
movements.
As for Yemen, the Houthis overthrew a Saudi
puppet.
Syria’s Bashar Assad never threatened us,
though we armed rebels to overthrow him. In
Iraq, Iranian-backed Shiite militia helped us to
defend Baghdad from the southerly advance of
ISIS, which had taken Mosul.
Who wants us to plunge back into the Middle
East, to fight a new and wider war than the ones
we fought already this century in Afghanistan,
Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen?
Answer: Pompeo and Bolton, Bibi Netanya-
hu, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and
the Sunni kings, princes, emirs, sultans and the
other assorted Jeffersonian democrats on the
south shore of the Persian Gulf.
And lest we forget, the never-Trumpers and
neocons in exile nursing their bruised egos,
whose idea of sweet revenge is a U.S. return
to the Mideast in a war with Iran, which then
brings an end to the Trump presidency.

columnist, was a senior advisor to presidents

How ‘lunch shaming’ is facing
scrutiny around the US
Last month, lawmakers introduced ‘anti-lunch shaming’
legislation to help shield children with unpaid charges

NEW YORK — Deny-

way for schools to deal
with unpaid lunch money.
After a flood of angry
Facebook comments and
phone calls, a Rhode Is-

abandoned its plan to
serve cold sandwiches to
students whose families
owe money.
“The outcry was

said. The district was try-
ing to make it less obvious
by switching to sunflower
butter and jelly sandwich-
es, since those are offered
as a daily option to every-
one, she said.
But the backlash
prompted officials to go
further and say all stu-
dents would get the choice
of a hot meal. A policy of
not letting older students
with unpaid meal charges
take part in activities like
dances and field trips was
also recently scrapped,
the district said.

WASHINGTON — Un-

Trump’s sweeping im-

“The additional store

The company expects

Fred’s corporate

at the Starkville location Alex Holloway/Dispatch Staff

said the store was in-
structed not to speak to

In April, Fred’s an-
nounced it would close
159 stores, including the

Columbus and West

USA Today report, Fred’s
reported having 557 total

“We predicted Fred’s

8.9-percent decrease in
sales from $1.39 billion

In the report, Anto

“This is clearly a

Mayor Mitch Wig-
gins read a proposal that
will allow contractors
to bid on one or both of
two plans for the light-
ing — one that will pro-
vide LED lighting, the
other to provide cheaper
metal-halide lighting.
“We’ll put out the bid
(Friday) morning,” Wig-
gins said. “Contractors
will have the option of
making bids on either

didn’t put a cap on the
bids, so the thinking is,
we’ll see what bids we
get, then choose the one
that works best for us.
The goal is to get at least
two (of the four) fields lit
before the soccer season
starts (in September).”
In both previous meet-
ings on the subject, alder-
men expressed a prefer-
ence for LED lighting, but
questions of the cost left
board members unsure
if they could afford the
more up-to-date and ener-
gy-efficient LED lighting.
The town has $175,000
available for the project.
Two plans, both devel-
oped by Calvert-Spradling
Engineers, were rejected
by the board during meet-
ings on April 22 and May
7.
At the first meeting,
project engineer Matt
Forrester set the estimate
at $165,000 to light one
field and $100,000 to pro-
vide lighting for each of
the other fields. He said
he didn’t see a way to light
two fields for less than
$240,000.
Aldermen balked at the
cost, asking Forrester to
develop a plan that would
light at least two fields for
the $175,000 available.

based on success stories
and involvement through-
out the districts. An MDE
committee chose Fye out
of 30 applicants this year.
Peasant said Fye’s ded-
ication to SOCSD helps
the district tremendously
and said there’s a direct
correlation between pa-
rental involvement and
student achievement.
“It’s priceless,” Peas-
ant said. “If we had that
kind of participation
and involvement in our
schools from everyone
who is involved, it’s end-
less what we could accom-
plish working together.
She listens to us as far as
what our needs are. She
goes out and fights for us
to address those needs
anyway she can, whether
it’s in town in our commu-
nity or at the state level.”
Fye and her husband
Don have two children
at SHS, senior Haley
and freshman Jace. Fye
has served as the Parent
Teacher Organization
class representative for
each school her chil-
dren have attended, and
currently serves as the
SOCSD PTO Executive
Board Legislative Liaison.
She is also the president
for Starkville Foundation
for Public Education,
which raises money and
gives grants to educators.
This past year, the organi-
zation raised $10,000 for
SOCSD. Attending school
plays, sporting events
and even classrooms to
volunteer has expanded
Fye’s advocacy for not just
SOCSD but public schools
throughout the state.
“I started understand-
ing the challenges our
public schools face in
terms of underfunding
and the oppressive nature
of high stakes testing,”
Fye said. “Over the years
I have seen these two is-
sues stifle the efforts of
amazing teachers and un-
dermine the joy of learn-
ing and self-discovery
that our schools work so
hard to instill every day. I
realized our schools need
an advocate at the Capitol
as much as they need one
in their local community,
and that parents need to
learn about realistic ways
they can be a voice for
their schools.”
After being recognized
as the Mississippi Parent
of the Year, Peasant said
Fye was well-fitted to earn
that honor.
“It was extreme ex-
citement,” Peasant said.
“I think that it would be
compared to the old Toyo-
ta commercial where they
leap in the air. There’s not
another person who de-
serves it the way that she
does. I’m just excited that
she’s been recognized at
the state level. We rec-
ognize it here, it’s just so
awesome and amazing
to be recognized at the
state level. ... She’s just a
really strong advocate for
our school district and for
the students and teachers
here. It also goes beyond
our school district. She’s
a champion for school
across the state.”
For Fye, representing
Starkville at a state-wide
level was the best part of
earning this honor.
“I mostly was just hon-
ored to have the oppor-
tunity to celebrate my
school district and public
education as a whole in
our state,” Fye said. “Our
public schools are the
most far reaching door-
way to discovering and
developing the qualities
that will help the children
in Oktibbeha County and
throughout Mississippi
move from surviving to
thriving, happy, healthy
citizens.”

of a 33-year period (1959, ’67, ’69,

Mississippi will bid to become the
first NJCAA member school to
capture three consecutive national

EMCC’s month of September
will consist of three home games,
including opening and closing the
month at home against MACJC
South Division foes Pearl River

Sweep gives surging Bruins a

break before Stanley Cup Final
The Associated Press
R ALEIGH, N.C. — The Boston
Bruins have earned a break be-
fore their biggest series in a few
years.
Their sweep of the Carolina
Hurricanes in the Eastern Con-
ference final has afforded them
a few extra days to rest up before
their third Stanley Cup Final ap-
pearance in nine years.
So they can sit back, let their
bumps and bruises heal — espe-
cially the ones that kept 42-year-
old captain Zdeno Chara out of
the series-clincher — and watch
the San Jose Sharks and St. Lou-
is Blues beat each other up a few
more times.
“I think as you get older, you
appreciate it even more, and you
realize how hard it is to get to this
point and advance and be thank-
ful and stay in the moment,” for-
ward Patrice Bergeron said. “But
then it’s back to work, and there’s
a lot of work in front of us.”
They won’t spend the break
worrying about losing the mo-
mentum of their longest postsea-
son winning streak in nearly half
a century. No team that has swept
its opponent from these playoffs
has won its next series — a list
that includes Columbus, the New
York Islanders and these very
Hurricanes.
The Bruins polished off their
sweep on Thursday night, beating
Carolina 4-0 in Game 4 for their
seventh straight postseason vic-
tory — their longest streak in the
playoffs since they reeled off nine
straight wins in 1972.
Now, after seven wins in 15
nights, they have the luxury of tak-
ing a deep breath before they play
for the Cup yet again.
A handful of veterans in
this group — including Chara,
Bergeron, goalie Tuukka Rask and
forward Brad Marchand — won it
in 2011 and lost to Chicago at this
stage two years later.
“We’ve basically kind of grew up
together,” Bergeron said. “It’s been
a fun ride to be a part with these
guys as the core group. The leaders
have been through a lot, I guess,
ups and downs, and ... you realize
how hard it is to get to this point, so
you’ve got to be thankful for that.”
The Bruins found a way to side-
step the run of first-round upsets
that knocked both division win-
ners, Tampa Bay and Washington,
out early, though they needed sev-
en games to get past Toronto.
They found their stride in their
second-round series with Colum-
bus, advancing in six games after
winning the final three.
And once they got rolling, Caro-
lina was powerless to stop them.
Boston was the quicker, stron-
ger and tougher team — and it
helped that they the best goalie.
With Rask stopping 109 of the 114
shots he faced in the series, the
Bruins trailed in only one game —
the first one. After a pair of bang-
bang power-play goals in the third
period of that one, Carolina never
led again. The Bruins scored 10
consecutive goals during a stretch
that spanned the first two games.
Boston’s best-in-the-playoffs
power-play unit went 7 of 15 in the
series with at least one goal in ev-
ery game, including two in the
series clincher. Rask has closed
two straight series with shutouts
and continued to look the part of a
leading Conn Smythe Trophy can-
didate.
“I don’t think the break will hurt
him, other than you lose some of
your sharpness of game intensity,”
coach Bruce Cassidy said. “I just
see Tuukka not only as a goalie but
as a person, as a really zoned-in
guy right now. Really even-keeled. I
don’t see why that would change in
a week. ... I assume he’ll come out
of it very well. He’s played a lot of
hockey, too. The break will do him
some good.”

The Bulldogs (44-10,

“He surprised us in the
beginning, and was able
to maintain his form,”
Moreno said.
Moreno will be inter-
im coach during the up-
coming qualifiers as Luis
Enrique remains out be-
cause of an undisclosed
personal problem. Luis
Enrique also missed the
team’s previous two qual-
ifiers.
Isco was left out of
the previous list as he
hadn’t played much with
Real Madrid under coach
Santiago Solari, but he
regained his spot in the
team after the return of
Zinedine Zidane and con-
vinced Luis Enrique to
earn his place back in the
national team.

Rangers belt 5 home runs in 16-1 rout of Royals

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Rougned Odor and the rest of the
Texas Rangers had been using
the Kansas City Royals’ belea-
guered pitching staff for batting
practice most of the sun-splashed
afternoon.
Then the Rangers used Kan-
sas City’s backup second base-
man for it, too.
One of Odor’s two homers
came off Chris Owings, who
was summoned by the Royals in
the eighth inning to try to close
out the 16-1 blowout Thursday.
Hunter Pence also went deep off
the utility man as Texas hit five
homers in all, piled up 21 hits
and won the rubber game of the
three-game series.
“We’ve done a good job of sal-
vaging the last couple of games,”
said Lance Lynn, who earned the
win with a strong start that ulti-
mately got lost amid the barrage
of runs.
“For me, I have a chance to
ride a loss or a win from the night
before,” he said. “That’s always
my motto. Whatever happened
the night before I want to get the
team going.”
Calhoun and Joey Gallo each
homered among their four hits,
and Danny Santana also had four
knocks, though some of that dam-
age came off a utilityman. Royals
manager Ned Yost wanted to save
his bullpen for an upcoming road
trip, so he called Owings off the
bench in the eighth inning.
“I told him, ‘Look, don’t be stu-
pid,’” Yost said, “but he did a great
job of saving our ‘pen.”
Lynn (5-3) allowed a run in
the first but little else over the
next six innings as the Rangers
won their first road series in nine
tries. Their last one came last
September in San Diego.
Homer Bailey (4-4) allowed
six runs, eight hits and four walks
in an all-around dismal day for the
Kansas City pitching staff. Brad
Boxberger coughed up three
runs in relief of him as the Royals
lost the rubber game of a series
for the 13th consecutive time dat-
ing to last season.
Kansas City actually struck in
the first when youngster Nicky
Lopez, capping a solid debut
series, hit the first of his two
doubles and Adalberto Mondesi
followed with a sacrifice fly. But
Lynn and the Rangers controlled
the game the rest of the way.
They pulled even on Gallo’s
homer to left leading off the
fourth, then battered Bailey and
the bullpen by sending five runs
across during the decisive fifth
inning.
It started with a leadoff walk
to Isaih Kiner-Falefa, continued
with consecutive singles by Dan-
ny Santana, Calhoun and Nomar
Mazara, and included two more
walks by Bailey that sent in a run.
The veteran right-hander was
finally yanked from the game,
and Brad Boxberger appeared to
have the Royals out of the inning
when he induced Odor to hit a
groundball. First baseman Ryan
O’Hearn was able to field the ball
cleanly but threw it away, keeping
their misery going.
“There was a couple of hits. We
missed being in the right spot cut-
off-wise, trying to hold the game
right there,” Yost said. “Brought
in Boxberger and throwing error
broke it open for them.”
Texas pushed across three
more runs in the sixth, drawing
a trio of walks off Boxberger and
former closer Wily Peralta. It was
the second straight inning the
Rangers batted through the or-
der.
“It’s kind of what we’ve been
doing all year,” Rangers manager
Chris Woodward said. “It was a
1-1 game going into the fifth. Ho-
mer Bailey was doing OK at that
point. Those at-bats (in the fifth)
kind of set the tone for the rest
of the game. Big hits, big walks.
That’s something we pride our-
selves on. If you get a good pitch,
take a rip. If not, let the next guy
do it.”

D
EAR ABBY:
My husband
and I live in
a nice home in the
desert Southwest
with an in-ground
pool and guest-
house. Our friends
and relatives from
back east have
an open invitation
to visit whenever
ZITS they please. We
enjoyed these vis-
its until recently.
The problem is
their ever-present
compulsion to be
Dear Abby
connected to an
electronic device. We are not
yet retired, but in the past we
didn’t mind taking a few days off
work to spend time with folks
who came all the way out here
to spend a few days with us.
But it seems like nowadays our
guests have their noses pointed
GARFIELD at a phone or computer most
of the time they are here. They
have actually missed the beauty
of our area, which we are miss-
ing work to show them, because
they are otherwise engaged.
Is there a pleasant way to
ask them to disconnect for a
bit while we are enjoying their
visit, or should I just get in the
grumpy old lady line? I want our
visitors to have a good time, but
I find this behavior especially
rude. — ALMOST DONE IN THE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May
17). You’ll have the power to
choose where you spend most
of your time and with whom;
your destiny springs from
these choices. The exception-

expensive ticket gifted to you.

about who to pursue, tolerate or
avoid, though you’ve occasion-
ally been tricked by charm or
good looks. Not anymore. You’re

possible that
your guests don’t
realize how much
time they’re
spending on their
computers and

cause you are so
turned off you are
considering rolling
up the welcome
mat, explain to
your guests that
you have given
them an open invi-
tation so you can
enjoy each other’s
company, and you are hurt that
they spend so much time on
their electronic devices. Nobody
gets something for nothing, and
it seems the “quid” has gone
missing from the “pro quo” you
have been offering.
DEAR ABBY: I am a male
who was molested 30 years
ago. It has troubled me into
adulthood. Recently, my boss
informed my crew that a con-
victed pedophile will be working
on a trial basis on our shift. The
moment he said it, it started
setting off triggers in my head,
and I am very angry about it.
When I told my boss about
my childhood experience, he
acted like he didn’t want to hear
it. Do I have any rights in this
matter? I really can’t work with
a man who has hurt another
seasoned.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
There’s something relaxing
about maintenance appoint-
ments such as routine doctor or
dentist visits or an automobile
oil change. You’re where you’re
supposed to be and the world
outside just has to wait.
GEMINI (May 21-June

rules, though most of them are
unspoken. You’ll be aware of

DEAR TROUBLED VICTIM:
You absolutely do have rights.
You have the right to request a
different shift, if that’s possible.
If it isn’t, you also have the right
to look for another job. If that’s
the case, it will be interesting
to know how many of the other
employees will follow you out
the door.
DEAR ABBY: A good friend’s
wife is currently in hospice care
and not expected to live much
longer. While I was at Walmart
the other day, I passed through
the card department and,
because I was already there, I
figured I would purchase a con-
dolence/sympathy card. When
my inner circle discovered I had
bought the card before she
passed, they criticized me to no
end. I thought it was an efficient
thing to do. I’m not wrong, am I?
— EFFICIENT IN THE MIDWEST
DEAR EFFICIENT: Oh, come
on! There was nothing wrong
with what you did. Many people
buy cards of all types because
they think the message is
appropriate. You thought of your
friend and his wife while you
were in the card section, and
it is the thought that counts —
not the date of purchase. If you
made any mistake, it was in
letting it be known that you pur-
chased the card in advance. In
a situation like this, discretion
is key.
each person. You’ll be extremely
effective with this knowledge at
the core of today’s interactions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
don’t need people to be just like
you in order to feel a kinship
and affinity with them. You
thrive on knowing a diverse set
of people, and today will bring
proof that you’re much better for
the wide variety of interests.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
When the action doesn’t go to
plan, you’ll quickly come up with
a new one. This is better than
passively riding out the direction
everything seems to be falling
in. There’s something to save or
affect here. Believe in yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
If you know that something is
right but you don’t know why
it’s right, then you’ll make the
correct choice, but you won’t be
able to convince others to make
it, too. Find out the reasons.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Time all to yourself seems
like an impractical indulgence
when it should seem more like
what it actually is — a choice
for health and well-being. You’re
happier and more loving once
you’ve tended to your tranquility
needs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). “You’re going places,” said
the casting director to the actor,
“just not with us.” You may echo
this sentiment as you meet
really talented and appealing
people whom you don’t quite
know how to “cast” in your life
yet.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Wanting to be a part of a
different scene is a waste of
the one you’re in. This one is
good! Trust that there are plenty
of opportunities to be excellent
from exactly where you are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Valuable things become
even more so when they are
shared, while insubstantial
things are diminished when too
many people get their hands on
them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). The Irish proverb “Praise
youth and it will prosper,” was
a novel idea when it first came
about. Culture has shifted.
Many claim children are now
praised to a perilous degree.
You’ll dole praise judiciously
and fairly.
