‘Here we go again’: Judge POLITICAL

blocks Mississippi abortion ban ANNOUNCEMENT
District Judge Carlton Reeves is the same judge
who struck down a 2018 Mississippi law to ban
abortion at 15 weeks
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A federal judge on
Friday temporarily blocked a Missis-
sippi law that would ban most abor-
tions once a fetal heartbeat is detect-
ed, at about six weeks of pregnancy.
“Here we go again,” U.S. District
Judge Carlton Reeves wrote in his
order. “Mississippi has passed an-
other law banning abortions prior to
viability.”
His new order stops the law from
taking effect July 1. Reeves is the
same judge who struck down a 2018
Mississippi law to ban abortion at 15
weeks.
Mississippi is one of several
states that have pushed this year to
enact bans on early abortions. Op-
ponents of abortion are emboldened
by new conservative Supreme Court
justices and are looking for ways to
challenge the court’s 1973 ruling
that legalized abortion nationwide.
Reeves heard arguments Tues-
day from attorneys for the state’s
only abortion clinic, who said the
law would effectively eliminate all
abortions in Mississippi because
cardiac activity is often first detect-
able when many women may not
know they are pregnant. Lawyers
with the state attorney general’s of-
fice said the law should be allowed
to take effect because it’s not a com-

man after chase
CARRIERE — Offi-
cials continue to inves-
tigate the shooting of a
south Mississippi man
killed while fleeing from
a sheriff’s deputy.
Pearl River County
Sheriff David Allison
says the chase began
Thursday when deputies
received a call that a man
was suicidal and armed.
Allison tells The Pica-
yune Item that a deputy
found 28-year-old Adam
McCoy of Carriere driv-
ing a car and chased him
down several roads. The
sheriff says McCoy hit
another SUV at an inter-
section, which careened
into a second SUV.
After the crash, of-
ficials say McCoy fired
at the pursuing deputy.
The officer shot back,
hitting McCoy, who was
pronounced dead at a hos-
pital.
Allison says the dep-
uty and occupants of the
other vehicles weren’t in-
jured.

Lawsuit
Continued from Page 1A
nage, from Aug. 16, 2018,
until her termination on
Nov. 20, 2018.
Dunn is seeking a jury
trial and is asking the
court for back pay, rein-
statement or front pay in
lieu of reinstatement, and
further damages as deter-
mined by the court.
In the complaint, Dunn
accuses Turnage of sev-
eral instances of inappro-
priate sexual innuendo, to
herself and other females
under his supervision.
This included an inappro-
priate story, which the
complaint describes as
one about a male adviser
receiving oral sex from
a female student, with
the dean of the college
walking in on the incident
while giving a tour to a po-
tential student.
Dunn’s complaint also
recounts the events of
a trip to the Mid-South
Aquatic Plant Manage-
ment conference. Dunn
and another female col-
league rode with Turnage
to Alabama, where they
picked up “Dr. Fleming”
on the way to the confer-
ence. During the trip, the
complaint says, Turnage
told the same inappropri-
ate story though “no one
... had invited Turnage to
elaborate on this story
and it had not been on the
topic of conversation.”
The complaint further
alleges that on Nov. 5, at
the conference, Turnage
asked some of the grad-
uate students to take
photos. It says that when
they told him they were
too busy, Turnage said
they had to and they were
“slaves” while in graduate
school.
Throughout the con-
ference, Turnage made
a variety of sexual-
ly-charged remarks to
Dunn, the complaint says,
including telling her and
another colleague after
they declined to partake
in a drinking game, “You
know what they say about
people who don’t like at-
tention. They like watch-
ing porn.”
On the night of Nov. 7,
the complaint says, Tur-
nage saw Dunn talking
with a married man from
the conference about his
marital status. During
the ride home from the
conference, after drop-
ping off Fleming, Tur-
nage told Dunn “everyone
at the conference knew”
she had been attempt-
ing to hit on the man. He
went on to say her behav-
ior hadn’t been as bad as
other people who’d been
banned for inappropriate
behavior. Turnage then
told “stories of a bisexu-
al couple and a massage
parlor room put on at a
previous conference that
employed prostitutes for
attendees.”
Afterward, Dunn told
other students she would
discuss Turnage’s behav-
ior with Ervin. The com-
plaint says Turnage knew
of this and started talking
to Ervin about Dunn’s be-
havior at the conference.
When Dunn met Ervin
for a previously sched-
uled meeting to discuss
research matters on Nov.
20, he handed her a letter
of termination and sup-
port. At the same meet-
ing, he canceled a confer-
ence in Texas that Dunn

Jury finds man guilty of murder

in Tennessee church shooting
Jurors are next considering a life
sentence without parole, a decision
that could be made as early as Tuesday
By JONATHAN MATTISE
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
A jury on Friday found a
man guilty of first-degree
murder in a shooting at
a Nashville church two
years ago that left a wom-
an dead and seven wound-
ed.
Jurors deliberated less
than five hours before de-
livering the verdict against
Emanuel Kidega Samson.
He was found guilty on
all 43 counts in the indict-
ment.
Samson, 27, is black;
the victims are white.
Samson left a note about
a 2015 shooting massacre
at a South Carolina black
church and aimed to kill at
least 10 white churchgoers
in revenge, Deputy Dis-
trict Attorney Amy Hunter
said. Jurors are next con-
sidering a life sentence
without parole, a decision
that could be made as ear-
ly as Tuesday.
Congregants of the mul-
ticultural Burnette Chapel
Church of Christ testified
during the four-day trial
about the hail of bullets
and the bloody scene that
unfolded in front of them
just after their Sunday
worship service conclud-
ed. Some had the gunshot
wounds to show for it.

Roses and thorns

A rose to all those who have fallen
in military service to our nation, and
to VFW Post 4272 and American
Legion Post 69 whose efforts help
keep that sacrifice at the forefront
on this Memorial Day weekend.
This week, as they have done for years now, the two
veterans groups adorn the graves of fallen soldiers in
cemeteries throughout Lowndes County with Amer-
ican flags. Often, during holidays, we are prone to
forget the meaning behind our holidays as we enjoy
time away from the routine with family and friends.
Thanks to the work of the VFW and American Le-
gion, we have a visual reminder to pause and reflect
on those who have died to preserve or freedoms.

A rose to all the kids out there now

that the school year has ended. By
mid-week all classes at all public and
private schools had ended. It’s been a
long school year, so a well-deserved
rest is in order. Summer provides an
opportunity to play and rest. It also allows students
to pursue interests that the demands of the school
year do not generally allow. We encourage kids to get
up, get busy, get involved and make the most of the
summer break. We also remind students that the end
of the school year should not mean the end of learn-
ing. Instead, it’s an opportunity to build knowledge
and skills. The best part of that is the student gets to WASHINGTON
choose where those energies will be directed.

A thorn to Starkville Alderman

Henry Vaughn, whose claims that
the city’s annexation plans are based
on an effort to dilute black voting
strength in the city is not supported
by the facts. The Ward 7 alderman
made that claim during Tuesday’s
board of aldermen meeting. “We know this is all
about drawing the lines to make wards unequal,”
Vaughn said. With all due respect, we don’t know
that at all. According to an annexation study report
commissioned by the city, white population in the
city would increase by just 0.3 percent while black
population would decrease by 0.5 percent, numbers
too small to suggest that there is an orchestrated
effort to change the racial makeup of the city in any
meaningful way. As one of two black aldermen, we
respect and applaud Vaughn’s role as an advocate for
the black community. But that role also carries with
it an obligation to act wisely in those efforts. Intro-
ducing race into a debate where it is not a credible
factor does no service to anyone, black or white.
A rose to the Lowndes County
Community Foundation’s educational
task force for leading the effort to
gain “Excel By 5” certification. The
LCF identified education as a top con-
cern through a community meeting
last year. Seeking this certification
is a response to that community need. The “Excel by
5” program plays a key role in preparing children for
school. Too often, children enter the school system
with undiagnosed or improperly treated disabil-
ities — everything from dyslexia to poor vision/
hearing to autism. For these students, the presence
of these challenges can impede educational growth
even before formal schooling begins. Making sure
parents are aware of the resources available to their
children before they reach school age can make an
enormous difference. When the LCF identified their
top areas of concern in the community, we applauded
their good intentions but wondered if these efforts
would produce tangible results. In multiple ways,
the community has benefitted from the various task
forces that have emerged. We believe the education
task force’s commitment to “Excel by 5” is evidence
the LCF’s work will continue to go beyond talk.

There was some-
thing poignant in
seeing her driven to

spent with the human catastrophe
that is Donald Trump. But that’s
what happened last week when
Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader to begin the process.
Chuck Schumer went to the White
House, ostensibly to speak with
Trump about fixing the country’s
decaying infrastructure.
They never got around to
that. Trump, the same man who
helped his son lie about meeting
with Russians promising dirt on
Hillary Clinton and allegedly paid
hush money to women accusing
him of sexual liaisons, the man
who intimidates witnesses and
stonewalls investigations, was in
a snit because Pelosi had dared
accuse him of being “engaged in a
cover-up” earlier that day.
For the record, Pelosi was right. patriot to stand and be counted.
The average burqa doesn’t cover
up like Trump does. Still, he is
reported to have stormed angrily
into the room without sitting or
shaking hands and proceeded
to have a hissy fit that Schumer
said “would make your jaw drop,”
then stormed back
out. There followed a
public temper tantrum

in 1998 for lying under oath about
a consensual affair with a young
intern.
If the House was able to rise up
on its hind legs over such relative-
ly trifling misdeeds, how can it re-
main supine in the face of the most
lawless presidency in history? Its
continued inaction sets a troubling
precedent.
After all, Trump has lied,

spilled state secrets and obstruct-

What’s on the line here is the very

power of prayer. But she’d do well
to heed the gospel writer James on

CEOs get $800,000 pay raise, leaving workers further behind

Pay for CEOs at S&P 500 companies rose
to a median of $12 million last year
By STAN CHOE
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — Did you get
a 7 percent raise last year? Con-
gratulations, yours was in line
with what CEOs at the biggest
companies got. But for chief
executives, that 7 percent was
roughly $800,000.
Pay for CEOs at S&P 500 com-
panies rose to a median of $12
million last year, including sal-
ary, stock and other compensa-
tion, according to data analyzed
by Equilar for The Associated
Press. The eight-figure packag-
es continue to rise as companies
tie more of their CEOs’ pay to
their stock prices, which are still
near record levels, and as profits
hit an all-time high last year due
to lower tax bills and a still-grow-
ing economy.
Pay for typical workers at
these companies isn’t rising
nearly as quickly. The median
increase was 3 percent last year,
less than half the growth for the
top bosses. Median means half
were larger, and half were small-
er.
The survey showed that it
would take 158 years for the typ-
ical worker at most big compa-
nies to make what their CEO did
in 2018, seven years longer than
if both were still at 2017 pay lev-
els. And when top executives are
already making so much more
than their employees, the bigger
percentage raises compound the
widening financial gap.
Anger about widening in-
come inequality is rising around
the world, from Capitol Hill to
protests in streets. But it’s only
slowly seeping into the confer-
ence rooms where boards of
directors set the pay for CEOs.
Boards are often more con-
cerned with what a competitor
may pay to poach their CEO
than how much more that per-
son makes versus the rest of the
workforce.

The act of compassion
by the ladies of Colum-
bus, Mississippi, was
recognized by Presi-
dent Obama in his 2010
Memorial Day Address
when he said; “ On April
25, 1866, about a year
after the Civil War ended,
a group of women visited
a cemetery in Columbus,
Mississippi, to place
flowers by the graves
of Confederate soldiers
who had fallen at Shiloh.
As they did, they noticed
other graves nearby,
belonging to Union dead.
But no one had come
to visit those graves, or
place a flower there. So
they decided to lay a few
stems for those men too,
in recognition not of a
fallen Confederate or a
fallen Union soldier, but a
fallen American.”
What really happened
in Columbus on that
day in April, 1866. The
newspaper account in the
Columbus Index has sur-
vived but lesser known
are two eye witness
descriptions.
Cyrus Green, a Quaker
educator, who had come
to Columbus with the oc-
cupying U.S. troops wrote
in his diary:
“[Apr.] 25th: The
whites formed a procession
today and proceeded to the
cemetery and decorated
the graves of the soldiers
who are buried there. We

Mat, Dinah and I went
to the cemetery to see the
ornamental graves. The
decorations did not meet
our expectations. There
was little more than a
small bouquet of flowers
dropped on each grave.
Some of them had wreaths
on them.”
The Columbus Dis-
patch published a history
of that first Decoration
Day in its April 24, 1921
edition. It contained a
first-person account that
had never been pub-
lished. Augusta Sykes

Where are the graves
of those Union soldiers,
whose decoration with
flowers inspired a na-
tion? Most of the Union
soldiers’ remains were
moved to Corinth Na-
tional Cemetery in 1867
but about 10 soldiers
remained in unmarked
graves. The location of
these Union soldiers’
graves was last referred
to in 1919 and all that is
now known of their loca-
tion is that it was in the
southwest corner of the
1865 cemetery grounds.
Last October a project
to locate lost Civil War
graves of Union soldiers
in Columbus’ Friendship
Cemetery took place. It
was a joint effort of the

Research at the Universi-
ty of Mississippi, the U.S.

visitors to Starkville
and help stimulate the
economy, many voters
— even those in favor
of the tax — say they’d
like to see the city invest
more in existing parks.
Tate has played
softball at Starkville’s
Sportsplex — a complex
of baseball, softball and
soccer fields off Lynn
Lane — for more than 10
years and has a daugh-
ter who also plays at the
park. He said he can see
the benefits the new fa-
cility might bring, but
he wonders what the
new park’s construction
would mean for the rest
of Starkville’s parks.
“What’s wrong with
this park?” he said of the
Sportsplex
T hursday
evening,
gest ur ing
to a nearby
dugout and
practice
field where
c h i l d r e n Tate
were play-
ing softball. “I think it’s
big enough.”
Tate said he’d like to
see more improvements,
especially in restrooms,
at McKee Park, which is
across Lynn Lane from
the Sportsplex and in-
cludes baseball fields,
basketball courts and a
large play area. If such
improvements are in-
cluded in the plan, he
said, he’s more likely to
vote yes on Thursday.
“I think they proba-
bly need more improve-
ments over there,” Tate
said. “It’s a mess over
there because it’s the
oldest park.”
Likewise, Willie
Gray, a mother of four
children who all play
different sports at the
Sportsplex,
is leaning
t o w a r d
suppor t ing
the tax,
though she
admits to
not know-
ing much Gray
about it. She hopes to
see improvements at
the Sportsplex, such
as covered benches —
“Covered seating would
be nice, keep us out of
the sun” — and water
fountains she could rely
on to work all the time
(sometimes they don’t,
she said).
But not all voters are
as confident.
“My child won’t ben-
efit (from the new facil-
ity) because they’re only
using that (the Corner-
stone Complex) for tour-
naments,” said a woman
who indicated she would
vote against the tax but
didn’t want to identified.
Clyde Williams said
he knows he’s going to
vote on Thursday — he
just has to decide which
way. However, Williams
said he’s concerned
about the long-term use
the city will get from the
park, if it’s built.
He said the Sports-
plex, after it was first
built, once hosted lots
of tournaments. But he
believes the tournament
use dropped off after a
few years.
“I’d rather them focus
on these fields (at the
Sportsplex),” Williams
said. “We used to have
tournaments here ... ev-
ery weekend.”
He fears the same
fate for Cornerstone, if
it’s built — the first year
bringing many tour-
naments before events
start dwindling.
City response
Mayor Lynn Spruill
said that, while tourna-
ment host-
ing is an
impor t ant
aspect for
Corner-
stone Park
and a big
goal for the
city, the Spruill
new park
will be open for any chil-
dren to play recreation-
ally.
Starkville Parks and
Recreation Director Ger-
ry Logan
said the
city isn’t
just going
to use the
new 1-per-
cent tax
revenue
for Cor- Logan
nerstone
Park. He said the parks
department has a three-
year capital projects plan
to address needs at other
parks.
“It’s not just about
sports fields,” he said.
“It’s about adding other
recreational amenities
that benefit citizens. We
hope to see things like
a wheelchair-accessible
playground in McKee
Park. Folks have asked
about a skate park in
town and that’s some-
thing we’re at least con-
sidering.
“Renovating, updating
all our facilities — it’s
on the table,” he added.
“We’re trying to tackle it
piece by piece to get a lot
of those things done.”
The city has project-
ed the new tax to bring
in about $1.2 million per
year. A portion of that
will repay the bond issue
for Cornerstone, while
the remainder, as well as
$850,000 from the Parks’
share (40 percent) of
the existing 2-percent
restaurant and hotel/
motel sales tax, will fund
capital improvements at
other parks over three
years.
Spruill said the fields
and facilities Starkville
has may have been fine
for the time they were
built. However, she
said, the standards have
changed in the years
since. As other com-
munities moved ahead
with better facilities,
Starkville lags behind
with what it has. The
fields at the Sportsplex,
she said, were devel-
oped in the 1990s, and a
multi-purpose building
— now called the Travis
Outlaw Center — was
completed in 2009.
“The reasons those
tournaments dropped off
is because we were not
taking care of our fields,”
Spruill said. “This is why
we are struggling might-
ily to bring them back up
to standard.”
In the past two years,
Starkville Parks and
Recreation has made a
concerted effort to bring
in more tournaments
— Logan said there are
more than 30 scheduled
for this year, compared
to 20 in 2018.
The city has made ef-
forts to bring the parks
up to standard since
taking it as a city depart-
ment from the formerly
autonomous Starkville
Parks Commission in
2015 — for example,
Spruill said there’s been
work to improve drain-
age at the Sportsplex’s
soccer fields, and the
city has been working
to replace outdated play-
grounds at its parks. “I have seen the im-

Capt. Deans moved the
fingers on his left hand for
the first time since May 4.
“He is doing much bet-

can do a lot with his right
side. He is feeding him-
self and all that. He is not
sitting up by himself.”
She added he tested
negative for tumors in his
bones but that the bones
in the part of his spine
that is affected are so soft
that “it’s a miracle he was
even walking to begin
with.”
A GoFundMe account
to help with Deans’ re-
covery was set up 10 days
ago and as of Saturday
afternoon had raised
$725 of the $100,000 goal.
Yolanda said her health
insurance will only cov-
er 30 days of Deans’ in-
house therapy, which he
just started last week.
The money they hope to
raise will be used for any
further therapy he needs,
as well as a motorized
and regular wheelchair
and any accommodations
their house needs during
his recovery.
Shelton said in Deans’
absence, Cpl. Eric Lewis

interim CID head before
Deans was hired last year.
Shelton added he
doesn’t know when Deans
will return to work, but
specified he has no plans
to hire a permanent re-
placement for Deans, who
is taking family medical
leave time. In addition to
a vacation day and sick

said.
“(Other officers) can
donate (their) leave time,
so we’re doing that,” he
added. “We’re helping out
too.”
Patrol Officer Rhonda
Sanders said that half the
proceeds from this year’s
police ball fundraiser,
the Glitz and Glam Ball
on June 21 at the Trot-
ter Convention Center
downtown, will be given
to Deans and his family.
She added CPD will hold
another fundraiser for
Deans in July.
Deans says in the Go-
FundMe post that he
hopes to receive long-
term physical therapy
and eventually go back to
work, but that his doctor
says it may take up to two
years to get back to the
point of holding a job.
“The medical bills will
be astronomical,” Deans
says in the post. “I’m
praying that we can get
the help we need until I
can finish my long-term
therapy.”
Yolanda said she
doesn’t know when her
husband will leave the
hospital but he is keeping
his spirits up while he’s
there.
“He’d ready to get it
done and get home,” she
said. “His attitude here
is, ‘What do I need to
do?’ He’s a fighter. All the
nurses like him and want
to keep him. ... He has a
great attitude.”

by way of a strikeout.
Then came the third. Ginn was
shelled, recording just a single out
while allowing five runs on four hits
before being yanked for redshirt ju-
nior Tyler Spring.
It was Ginn’s poor start and ul-
timate shellacking at the hands of
LSU that put a cap on a truly bizarre
week of baseball for the Bulldogs.
“We’ve just got to regroup,” MSU
coach Chris Lemonis said.
The Bulldogs (46-13) ended their
week with a whimper rather than a
bang, with the sting of Friday’s rout
following the insanity of Wednes-
day’s 17-inning win and a wasted
11-strikeout night from redshirt ju-
nior Ethan Small in a 1-0 loss to No.
2 Vanderbilt Thursday.
Still, Lemonis contends the
stumbles in his team’s last two
games aren’t as worrisome as they
may appear.
Twice this season MSU has been
romped by Southeastern Confer-
ence foes — once being a home
series loss to LSU and the other a
sweep at Arkansas. Between the
two matchups, the Bulldogs were
outscored 53-23.
After losing two of three at home
to LSU, MSU won eight of its next
nine games — including a series
win at Tennessee.
The same domination was seen
following a listless performance in
Fayetteville as the Bulldogs won 13
of their next 15 games, sweeping
No. 7 Georgia and handing No. 13
Texas A&M its only home series
loss of the year.
“We’ve bounced back from (loss-
es) all year long,” Lemonis said.
“Last time we played LSU at home
we had two tough games like this
and came back and played great af-
ter it. We’ll be fine.”
This isn’t to say all is right in

bracket reveal as to what
teams will come to Starkville
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com

The Mississippi State baseball team has

to play the waiting game.
After being eliminated from the South-
eastern Conference Tournament with a 12-2
loss to LSU Friday, MSU will await their
NCAA Tournament fate as Monday’s selec-
tion show nears.
The Bulldogs are virtually guaranteed
to host a regional and be selected as a top-
eight national seed, meaning they would
host the Super Regional round, as well, if
they qualify. Though the draw hasn’t offi-
cially been announced, a number of teams
have been floated around regarding who
could visit Starkville next weekend.
Both Illinois (36-19) and Illinois State
(34-24) have been mentioned as potential
No. 2 seeds in an MSU regional of late. The
Fighting Illini were swept out of the Big Ten
tournament with losses to Maryland and
Michigan but sit at No. 29 in the RPI.
Illinois State was marginally more suc-
cessful in the Missouri Valley Tournament,
winning its first two games before falling to
Dallas Baptist and Indiana State.
Connecticut (36-22) and California (32-
18) could also factor in as No. 2 seeds given
their No. 28 and 31 RPI rankings, respec-
tively.
MSU would likely see an opponent in
the No. 40-48 RPI range as a No. 3 seed in
the regional. Teams in that realm include
Brigham Young (36-17), Duke (31-25) or
UCF (36-22).
Clemson (34-24) could also sneak into
the field as a No. 3 seed, given they boast
an RPI ranking of 38 and are 8-7 against the
RPI top-25.
A mid-major conference tournament
champion will likely fill the final spot in the
Starkville regional. Baseball America’s lat-
est projection slots Fordham (38-22) in this
spot, while D1baseball.com’s most recent
field had Jacksonville State (36-21).
Both teams secured their spots in the
NCAA field Saturday. Jacksonville State
defeated Moorhead State in the Ohio Valley
Conference championship and Fordham
took down Dayton for the second time in
as many days to win the Atlantic-10 Tour-
nament title.
The 16 regional hosts will be announced
Sunday at 8:30 p.m. and the full bracket will
be revealed at 11 a.m. Monday on ESPNU.

Cubs top Reds 8-6 in
wild 6-HR game
CHICAGO — Addison
Russell delivered an im-
pressive all-around per-
formance on a wild day.
The Chicago Cubs
needed every last bit of
it, too.
Russell homered at
Wrigley Field for the first
time since he was sus-
pended for violating base-
ball’s domestic violence
policy, leading Chicago
to an 8-6 victory over the
Cincinnati Reds.
With the wind blowing
out on a warm afternoon
at the iconic neighbor-
hood ballpark, Albert Al-
mora Jr. and Jason Hey-
ward also connected to
help the NL Central-lead-
ing Cubs rebound from a
disappointing loss in the
series opener Friday.
Russell finished with
three hits and scored
twice. The second base-
man also made a nice
stab and tag to retire José
Iglesias when he attempt-
ed to steal second in the
eighth.
“I’m getting there,”
Russell said. “It’s still a
process right now. I think
whenever the right time
is here, I’m gonna be able
to bloom.”
Russell was optioned
to Triple-A Iowa after
completing his suspen-
sion this month, but he
was recalled May 8 and
hit his first homer of the
season May 15 at Cincin-
nati.
He hit a two-run ho-
mer in the fourth inning
Saturday, giving the
Cubs a 3-2 lead. He also
had a timely bunt single
and scored a big insur-
ance run in the eighth.
Tucker Barnhart hit
a two-run homer for the
last-place Reds, who fin-
ished with 14 hits. Yasiel
Puig and Derek Dietrich
also went deep.
“I think it was a hit-
ter’s day today,” Reds
manager David Bell said.
“You don’t really try to
change your approach
too much, but it seemed
like any ball that got up
into the air had a chance
to get out.”
Dietrich’s 13th homer
tied it in the eighth. But
the Cubs went ahead
to stay on David Bote’s
RBI double against Jar-
ed Hughes (2-2) in the
bottom half, and Kyle
Schwarber added a sacri-
fice fly.
Dillon Maples (1-0) got
two outs for the win after
he was recalled from the
minors before the game.
Tyler Chatwood gave Chi-
cago’s weary bullpen a
lift by working the ninth
for his first save since
2017.
The Cubs also got
some important length
from Yu Darvish, who al-
lowed six runs and 12 hits
in seven-plus innings.
Manager Joe Maddon
was concerned about the
bullpen coming into the
day, and Darvish pitched
past the sixth for the first
time this season.
Cincinnati had a hits.
chance for another late
rally after Eugenio
Suárez hit a two-run ho-
mer in the ninth in Mon-
day’s 5-4 victory.
The Reds scored twice
in the fifth to trim the
Cubs’ lead to 5-4. Suárez
had an RBI single and
Puig belted a long solo
shot over the left-field
bleachers.
After Heyward led off
the fifth with a drive into
the basket in left-center,
Reds rookie Nick Senzel
hit a two-out RBI single
in the sixth to make it a
one-run game again.
Cincinnati put its first
two batters on in the
ninth, but Chatwood got
Jesse Winker to bounce
into a 3-6-1 double play
and Puig flied out to right
to end the game. It was
Chatwood’s third career
save, continuing a nice
comeback season for the
right-hander.

Na settles for 69, 2-shot Colonial lead over Spieth, Furyk

The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — If
Jordan Spieth thinks a winless
streak approaching two years
seems like forever, he might
want to check with fellow major
winner Jim Furyk.
Both have a chance to end
droughts at Colonial — if they
can overtake third-round lead-
er Kevin Na.
Na settled for a 1-under 69 a
day after going low at Colonial
again, taking a two-shot lead at
9 under Saturday over a group
that included the local favorite
in Spieth and Furyk, the 2003
U.S. Open champion who hasn’t
won in four years.
“I’m not really looking at it
as like the glass is half empty,
the hourglass has almost run
out of sand,” said the 49-year-
old Furyk, who has just one of
his 17 PGA Tour victories in the
past nine years but was second
at the Players Championship
in March. “This year has been
kind of a new lease on life.”
Furyk, winless since 2015
at Hilton Head, matched the
68 of Spieth, whose last victo-
ry was his third major title at
the 2017 British Open. Joining
them at 7 under was C.T. Pan,

Broadhurst opens
2-shot lead at Senior

PIT TSFORD, N.Y. —
Whatever unease Paul
Broadhurst felt following
a near 2-1/2 hour weath-
er delay quickly evapo-

tee shot into the middle
of the narrow fairway on
the fifth hole at Oak Hill
Country Club.
The defending cham-
pion felt even better to
come out of a second

As Broadhurst not- entered the day as the
ed, Oak Hill presents a co-leader with Esteban
Toledo, who tumbled into
seventh at 1 over after a
74.
Broadhurst’s first two
birdies came immediately
before and after the first
delay, which began just af-
ter 10 a.m. He birdied the
570-yard par-5 fourth hole
before the horns blew to
halt play. Broadhurst re-
turned to birdie the par-
3 sixth. 6. He also had a
birdie 3 on No. 10.
The second delay be-
gan just after 3 p.m. and
lasted just 40 minutes, ex-
tending the length of the
round to nearly 10 hours.
Two-time U.S.
Open-winner Retief Goos-
en was second at 4 under
after a 67. Ken Tanigawa
was third at 3 under fol-
lowing a 66. Tour money
leader Scott McCarron
shot a 67 to get to 2 under.
The 50-year-old Goos-
en, in his first season on
the senior tour, noted he
experienced nerves in
finding himself in con-
tention to win what would
be his first title since the
2007 CommercialBank
Qatar Masters on the Eu-
ropean Tour.
“It’s been a while since
I’ve been in this sort of po-
sition when the butterflies
are flying a little,” said the
South African who won
seven times on the PGA
Tour and 14 times on the
European Tour. “In a way
it’s great to get all the juic-
es going. And it’s almost
like you got to try and
back off a little bit and not
hit the ball too hard. It’s a
good feeling.”
After a bogey-5 on No.
2, Goosen responded by
holing a 15-foot birdie
putt on No. 4, and then
drained a 20-footer for
birdie on the par-four sev-
enth. He also birdied the
par-4 ninth and 16th.
“I didn’t feel all that
sort of stressed about the
conditions or anything,”
Goosen said about the
breaks in play. “I felt there
were birdies to be made
out there.”

SOUTH EASTERN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT

Kessinger, bullpen lead Ole Miss past Georgia 5-3 in semis

The Associated Press
HOOVER, Ala. — Grae Kessinger
had three hits, including a two-run
homer, to help lead Mississippi to a 5-3
win over Georgia Saturday in the semi-
finals of the Southeastern Conference
Tournament.
The Rebels (37-24) advanced to
Sunday’s championship game seeking
a second straight SEC Tournament
title and fourth overall.
Kessinger’s homer in the fifth
inning brought home the game’s
final runs. Then the Ole Miss bullpen
held against the Bulldogs (44-15) and
dodged a threat in the ninth.
Max Cioffi (2-2) pitched 1 2/3 score-
less innings and Parker Caracci got
the final four outs for his 11th save.
Georgia’s Patrick Sullivan opened
the ninth with a single and advanced
to second on a wild pitch by Caracci.
Mason Meadows walked and Chaney
Rogers sacrificed runners to second
and third but Caracci struck out Tuck-
er Maxwell and got Riley King to pop
up to end the threat.
Meadows had a two-run homer for
Georgia.

dan Westburg continue to
struggle at the plate.
Mangum finished the
week 2-for-14, and is now
4-of-35 over his past sev-
en contests.
“The last seven games
have been brutal for me,”
he said. “Very humbling,
but there’s never a better
time to get hot than right
now.”
Westburg’s trip to
Hoover was similarly
rough, as he finished
1-for-15 over the three
games. He is now 8-for-57
in the month of May while
his average has dropped
from .385 on April 3 to
.294.
TRACK AND FIELD
There’s also the issue
of hitting with runners
in scoring position. MSU
was a combined 6-for-41
with runners in scoring
position during the SEC
tournament. The Bull-
dogs were a similarly di-
sastrous 13-for-66 with
runners on base.
“We’ve got six days to
get right — that’s a long
time in baseball days, I
can tell you that,” Mang-
um said. “Having one day
off in the regular season
is a huge deal for us. Now
we have six days off to
fine tune our swings, fine
tune our mental approach
at the plate.”
Entering the week, it
was fair to question what
MSU had to play for.
As co-champions of
the SEC West and a No.
3 national ranking in
D1baseball.com’s latest
poll, the Bulldogs had all
but locked up a nation-
al seed with little space
to move up a line in the
NCAA tournament brack-
et.
“It’s tough, but the
SEC tournament isn’t our
preseason goal,” Mang-
um said. “You have to go
home and get right and
we’re going to need a big
crowd Friday night.”

Marlin Stoltzfus and his sister, Lavina Stoltzfus, both of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, work on the porch and roof of a handicapped resident’s
home in Brooksville during Amish Work Week May 20-24. Fifty-three Amish volunteers from Indiana and Pennsylvania were in rural Mis-
sissippi to take part in an intense home repair ministry in Noxubee and surrounding counties, coordinated through the local Mennonite

Trees grew close on both sides of the hard-
packed earth punctuated by the occasional
dip. The only feature unexpected in the ru-
ral setting was an unbroken quarter-mile-
long line of freshly-turned dirt bordering
one side of the road. To John Cotton, that
dirt looked like an answered prayer.
Cotton has lived at the end of the remote
road for years; he is finally getting run-
ning water to the house. The trenched dirt
marked the route of pipe buried Wednes-

to the residence. The work was not done
by any county department, though; it
was instead thanks to Amish Work Week

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: I have been
dating a wonderful man for
a little more than two years.
We are both divorced and have
children. Mine are 20 and 15; his
are 12 and 10. We are very close,
all of our kids get along, all the
exes get along, etc.
I love him. Despite thinking
I’d never feel this way again, it
has happened. He treats me SO
well — he is absolutely amazing
to me. We go places, do things —
dinners, family events, etc. I have
never felt so loved and valued.
My issue is, he has not said Dear Abby
the words “I love you” yet. We have
discussed it a few times, but he is
terrified to say it because of his divorce. I don’t
want to pressure him, but how long should I wait
for him to say it before moving on? As a side
note, it took him forever to say it
to his now ex-wife when they were
dating. — LOVING HIM
DEAR LOVING: Moving on? This
man shows you by his actions the
way he feels about you, and you
admit that you have never felt so
loved and valued. It takes no effort
to say, “I love you.” Many people
have been known to say it without
meaning it.
That said, after two years it
would not be pushy to ask him
what the future looks like from his
perspective.
DEAR ABBY: I’ve been “ghost-
ed” on social media by two friends
who were, at different times, also
work partners. We formed close and supportive
bonds over many years, and I considered each of
them a friend I could trust.
Being ghosted without any explanation has
been very painful. I made a few attempts with
each of them to ask why and never received
an answer. That, too, has been painful. I’m
not a person who has had friendship ruptures
in my life. I have always been one to work out
differences and disagreements. So this has been
surprising.
These were separate friendships; the
ghostings happened at separate times. To my
knowledge, they have no connection with one
another. I can’t think of anything I did to cause
this. I understand the need to “edit” one’s social
media friends list from time to time, but ghosting
a longtime friend and colleague with no explana-
tion seems like rude, hurtful behavior that leaves
no possible good resolution. What do you think?
— GHOSTED TWICE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEAR GHOSTED: Life isn’t always a tidy affair.
Sometimes, much as we would wish it, there are
no answers. Rather than obsess about why these
former work friends no longer communicate, it
would be healthier for you to move on and not
look back. You have asked them for answers.
They weren’t forthcoming. Now go!
DEAR ABBY: Here’s a fun suggestion for
grandmothers who are upset about teens not
writing thank-you notes. If you want to hear from
a teen, try this: Send a card and write inside,
“Happy Birthday! Please buy something fun or
something you need with the enclosed check.
Love you, Grandma.” THEN FORGET TO ENCLOSE
THE CHECK. You will hear from that child, I prom-
ise. — NEW ENGLAND NANA
DEAR NANA: You are a shrewd and witty lady.
I’m sure my readers will love that suggestion. I
know I did!
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren,
also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded
by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear
Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440,
Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 26).
Your instinct is to be generous with
others and kind in your view and
treatment of others. You’ll now ex-
tend that approach to the very heart
of destiny and the universe at large.
You’ll note all the good points the
universe is making without resis-
tance. A wave of abundance carries
you and all you love forward. Leo
and Cancer adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 22, 1, 44, 47 and 3.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s
hard to tell how deep muddy water
is. It’s better not to guess or take
chances with this. Let things settle
so you can see the bottom. If they
don’t settle, don’t cross. Some terri-
tory is best avoided altogether.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
To know a person is to accurately
predict what’s going to set them off,
please them or bond them to you.
If you get it wrong, don’t worry; the
error will actually be a shortcut to a
more intimate acquaintance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If
wisdom were a needle in a haystack,
you’d find it. It’s like you’re magne-
tized to the very knowledge you most
need and want. Precious insights
could come from anywhere, from
gutters, gardens, volumes or vaults.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
When you can hang out with the
people you delight in, you’re living
the good life. And if the delight is
running low, get out and meet new
people because you make friends
very easily these days.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
cannot get where you want to go by
thinking yourself there. You need to
move, talk to people face to face
and put yourself in the thick of the
action where you can really feel
what’s going on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Beauty has power. Furthermore,
when your senses are open (as they
are today), so are your emotions.
You’ll experience a strong feeling in
association with a scent, taste or
color.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
have your eye on a lofty goal, yet it is
quite within the realm of possibility.
You’re ready to get honest about
what’s working and what’s not.
Shame and blame have no place in
your practical plan.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Self-doubt is the enemy of imagina-
tion. Trust and lean further into your
creativity. Pretend like you’re on an
improvisation team with your own
thoughts. Agree with and build on
the goodness there.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Some say all you really own in this
life is yourself. Even that can seem
either reductive or, in moments
where your own impulses and
actions get away from you, a huge
stretch.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
If you’ve been underestimating a
person, that ends with an awaken-
ing. Circumstances will either force
or inspire people to show different
sides of themselves.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Forget about what’s yours and
what’s not. That matters a lot less
than the general usefulness of a
thing. Can it be played with, lever-
aged or traded? It doesn’t have to
belong to you for you to be able to
use it well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
People like to hear about things that
pertain to them, and some have a
very short attention span for what
doesn’t. Success will depend on
aiming your stories accordingly.

Keep safe: EMCC tips for National
Electrical Safety Month
SPECIAL TO THE DISPATCH
P
eople in the U.S. are exposed
to electricity daily and should
take common sense precau-
tions to protect themselves from
injury and reduce the chance of
electrical fires, East Mississippi
Community College Electrical
Technology instructor Jason
Throop said.
“A lot of people tend to take
electricity for granted,” Throop
said. “It’s just there and it isn’t
something we tend to think about.
There are common mistakes that
people make when it comes to
electricity that can be avoided.”
May is National Electrical Safe-
ty Month and Throop is encourag-
ing people to assess their homes
and places of work for potential
electrical problems. It is a nation-
wide issue.
According to Electrical Safety
Foundation International (ESFI),
a nonprofit organization dedicated
to promoting electrical safety at
home and in the workplace, more
than 300 people in the U.S. are
fatally electrocuted each year,
while thousands more are shocked
or burned by electricity. Those
numbers don’t include deaths,
injuries and damage caused by
electrical fires.
One of the best things people
can do is to have their property
inspected by a certified electri-
cian to do a basic electrical safety
inspection, Throop said. Among
other things, the inspection will
include an examination of the fuse
box/breaker panel to ensure it is
the correct size and that the wir-
ing is not damaged or outdated.
But there are steps homeown-
ers can take themselves to reduce
the risk of injury or fire.
“One of the things I see a lot is
people using extension cords as
permanent wiring, running them
under doors and carpets, which
can cause problems,” Throop said.
A common mistake is the use
of extension cords that are not
heavy enough to carry the electri-
cal load. The longer the extension
cord, the bigger the potential

problem. Voltage drops in exten-
sion cords, with the drop increas-
ing as the extension cord length
increases. As volts decrease below
demand, more current flows to
make up the difference, causing
wires to heat and appliances or
fixtures to run hot.
Don’t use extension cords if you
don’t need to, and if one is neces-
sary, use the shortest one possible,
Throop advised. Large applianc-
es need heavy gauge appliance
extension cords designed for that
purpose.
Similar issues occur with use of
power strips.
“You should never overload a
circuit by plugging multiple things
into a power strip and never plug
one power strip into another,”
Throop said.
He recommends testing
ground-fault circuit interrupter
receptacle outlets once a month by
pushing the “test” button on the

receptacle to make sure it shuts off
power to the outlet.
“When they fail, they fail in the
open state and are still supply-
ing power so you have no way of
knowing if they work or not unless
you check them,” Throop said. “It
might not work when you need it
to work. I check mine every time I
pay my power bill.”
Lights are another problem
area. A great many light fixtures
are rated for a maximum of 40
watts and Throop said he sees
people putting 75 watt to 100 watt
bulbs in them, which can cause
the light fixture to overheat.
“Space heaters are a big prob-
lem, as are old Christmas lights,
which can get hot,” Throop said.

here’s
an easy
way to

state tree: Up

By pruning

against a

strung between posts,
you can enjoy our state
tree and flower in even
the tiniest gardens. After
planting a foot or so out
from the wall, then re-

gotta do is occasionally

Amish Work Week
Continued from Page 1C
Miller and Mayo are
integral to the advance
planning Amish Work
Week requires, from
project assessments, to
organizing materials and
equipment, to assem-
bling teams. Work Week
itself is a marathon for
all involved. Everyone
rises early and puts in an
active day.
“At 5:30 a.m. they
blow a horn, and we all
get up and have break-
fast at 6 a.m.,” said Lora
Miller from LaGrange,
Indiana. (She is a distant
cousin to Larry Miller.)
The 23-year-old and
other traveling volun-
teers are housed in a
dormitory, originally a
house provided by Larry
Miller’s family, convert-
ed to a youth dormitory.
After breakfast and a
daily devotional, volun-
teers learn their daily
job assignment. Seven
sites were on the sched-
ule Wednesday, when
Lora helped backfill a
quarter-mile water line
trench with a shovel. On
Thursday, at a different
location, she was up on a
roof wearing a tool belt.
When each day’s
tasks were done, volun-
teers were transported
back to the dormitory
to clean up and enjoy
supper together.
“After that, we sing or
play games, sit around
a campfire, some play
guitar,” Lora said. “Often
we go to bed around
midnight, so by the end
of the week we’re really
tired, but the people you
meet, spending time
together and making
new friends is great. The
main thing is — we get
to help someone.”
■■■
Mayo alternated
between three work sites
Wednesday, including
the water line project
at the Cottons’ house.

details about the week’s

in principle
it’s no more

than keeping
a hedge flat

creating divid-

different gar-
den rooms, or
training a climbing rose
or confederate jasmine
on a trellis. Or staking
and pruning tomatoes.
It’s a lot like plucking
eyebrows or shaping a
beard; remove the way-

want.

home states Friday. Page
by page, Mayo’s concern
for each person on the
schedule was apparent.
Even when Amish Work
Week ends, she and oth-
ers with MSC will still be
ministering to the com-
munity, whether through
Meals on Wheels, taking
people to the doctor or
working closely with
the health department
or social workers who
have specific concerns
for someone’s health and
safety.

afternoon, John Cotton

“I just thank them so
much, I pray that God will
bless them hundred-fold,”
Cotton said. “I know God’s
got something for them.”
One of those volun-
teers, Blaine Shaffer,
drove 14 others down
from Lancaster, Pennsyl-
vania for the Work Week.
It’s his third to take part
in.
“I can’t even describe

he said. “I’ll

me purpose. It’s amazing
just seeing these kids
and working with them,
seeing their work ethic
and dedication. They give,

It’s an inspiration.”
“What means the
most,” said Lora Miller,” is
we help people that maybe
didn’t have hope that
someone would ever care.
We want to give them
hope; we want to show
them that there is some-
one who cares.”
