“To find a sealed copy ‘in the wild,’

rather historic occurrence”
Valarie McLeckie, video game consignment

The Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — An
unopened copy of a 1987
cult-classic video game
that a Nevada man found
in the attic of his child-
hood home is expected to
sell for up to $10,000 at an
online auction.
The boxed game car-
tridge of Nintendo’s “Kid
Icarus” was still in the bag
with the receipt for $38.45
from J.C. Penney’s catalog
department three decades
earlier.
Scott Amos of Reno told
the Reno Gazette Jour-
nal he initially thought it
might be worth a couple
hundred dollars.
But Valarie McLeckie,
video game consignment
director at Heritage Auc-
tions, says it’s one of the
hardest Nintendo titles to
find in sealed condition.
She says there are fewer
than 10 in the hands of vin-
tage game collectors.
“To find a sealed copy
‘in the wild,’ so to speak,
not to mention one in
such a nice condition and
one with such transparent
provenance, is both an un-

usual and rather historic
occurrence,” she said. “We
feel that the provenance
will add a significant pre-
mium for serious collec-
tors.”
Wata Games, a video
game grading service,
gave Amos’ copy a rating
of 8.0 on a 10-point scale.
Amos said no one in the
family has a recollection of
purchasing the game, but
the Dec. 8, 1988, purchase
date hints it may have
been intended as a Christ-
mas present.
“I can remember the
game. My neighbor down
the street had it. I remem-
ber it being hard, and I
was never that good of a
gamer guy,” he said. “All
the family has been trying
to come up with a hypoth-
esis ... (My mom) thinks
she put it there and never
got it back out, and then it
ended up in the attic.”
The game, based loose-
ly on Greek mythology,
follows a cupid-like protag-
onist named Pit attempt-
ing to rescue Palutena,
the goddess of light, who
is imprisoned by the evil
Medusa.

Walmart shooting
The Associated Press
SOUTHAVEN — Authorities say a police offi-
cer who confronted an active shooter at a north-
ern Mississippi Walmart store and suffered minor
injuries after he was struck in his bulletproof vest
has been released from a hospital.
Southaven Deputy Chief Mark Little said in an
email that the officer was resting at home Wednes-
day. Police have not identified the officer, who au-
thorities say was protected by his vest when he
was shot Tuesday at the Walmart in Southaven, a
suburb of Memphis, Tennessee.

tell Brown how he was
“out of order.”
“Your request is out of
order,” Brooks said. “I’m
insulted by the fact that
you would walk in here. I
don’t deal with these gen-
tlemen that much, but to
come in here and tarnish
their character, I think
you’re completely out of
order. ... If (EMCC Pres-
ident Scott) Alsobrooks
wanted to say something,
he should have come. I’m
pissed off. I think you’re
completely out of order.
We should have stopped
you from the beginning.”
In Brown’s speech,
he said Lowndes County
board members left an
EMCC meeting during
a “staged walk-out” over
a dispute between the
former EMCC Board
Chairman Jimmie Moore
and an EMCC employee.
During a “make up” meet-
ing, Brown said those
board members did not
show up at all.
“There’s a lot of hidden
agendas and just flat out
ugliness going on at the
EMCC board right now,”
said Brown, who is the
son of the late Sen. Terry
Brown. “Our members
are right in the thick of it.”
EMCC’s board of trust-
ees is comprised of two
members from each of the
counties EMCC serves:
Lowndes, Lauderdale,
Oktibbeha, Clay, Noxu-
bee and Kemper. Those
board members are ap-
pointed by the board of
supervisors. Defending
the Lowndes County ap-
pointees Lance Walters
and Greg Stewart, Brooks
continued speaking to
Brown in an impassioned
tone and simply said argu-
ments and disagreements
are a part of the business
world.
“People disagree, hell
me and Harry tore up
13 boardrooms on plen-
ty of occasions,” Brooks
said. “People kill people
in Mexico every day and
they still locate business
there. I’m insulted you
would come in here. You
should have handled
things differently.”
When Brown asked
how he should have han-
dled his concerns, Brooks
said Brown should have
approached each board
member individually rath-
er than in a public setting.
Brooks added that every-
thing Brown said was
hearsay. Brown quickly
chirped back simply say-
ing it was “fact.”
“Fact is, we should
cut the discussion off,”
Brooks said. “… I think
you are out of order.”
Although Brooks
tried to stop further con-
versation, Supervisors
President Harry Sanders
defended Walters and
Stewart.
“We have two (EMCC)
board members and they
give us feedback,” Sand-
ers said. “All of a sudden,
I get financial documents.
Never had that before.
I think our two board
members are doing a very
good job. The biggest
problem we have is the
football pro-
gram. All of
a sudden,

get comes
out where
they cut
the football
p r o g r a m Sanders
and everybody goes cra-
zy. ... They’ve been ac-
cused of something and
they should defend them-
selves.”
Walters approached
the podium and briefly
addressed Brown’s con-
cerns.
“I think it’s important
for everybody to express
their concerns,” Walters
said. “I joined last April.
In that time, I’ve never
missed a monthly meet-
ing. The meeting that was
held the other day was not
on our normal schedule.
… I was not able to attend.
From what I understand,
business did get done.
“It is true that the cur-
rent situation we have
with the football team as
well as some of the other
items on the budget are
at a point of contention,”
he continued. “EMCC
has been losing money.
One of the things that was
clearly apparent when
I joined last year is that
some information that the
board members needed
was not available so some
decisions were not being
made appropriately.”
Walters told The Dis-

the other employee. He
added the contention with
the budget, which was
related to Moore and the
employee’s dispute, heav-
ily involves the football
program, but that is only
one part of an issue at
hand.
However, Walters did
not further specify on the
record the issues between
Moore and the employee.
“(Football) was cut
pretty similarly to the rest
of the budget,” Walters
said. “It’s real important
that we don’t single out
football, but we do have
the highest (junior col-
lege) football budget in
the state, probably in the
country. I cannot stand
to see the community
continue to lose money.
I think it’s important we

Moore could not be

Miss. declares Hepatitis A outbreak, urges vaccination

The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi health of-
ficials said the state, like others nation-
wide, is seeing an outbreak of contagious
liver disease Hepatitis A and urging peo-
ple to get vaccinated.
Twenty-three cases of the disease
have been confirmed in Mississippi
since April, State Epidemiologist Dr.
Paul Byers said in a statement Wednes-
day. Over the nine previous years, Mis-
sissippi averaged about five cases a year.
Hepatitis A spreads through food or
drink contaminated with feces of an in-
fected person, personal and sexual con-
tact with an infected person, and sharing
objects with someone who is infected.
Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, and
vomiting; yellowing of the skin and eyes;
and stomach pain, low appetite and fever.
The state Health Department has
investigated all cases to identify others
who have been in contact and vaccinate
them, Byers said.

Our View
EMCC’s deficit spending needs to be addressed
Since 2009, the East Mississippi
Community College football team
has won seven state and five national
championships, a level of success never
before seen on its level of football. That
success brought national attention to
the school through the Netflix docu-
mentary, “Last Chance U,” whose first
two seasons told the story of EMCC’s
unorthodox ascendancy to the top of
community college football. We would
like to say you can’t buy that kind of
publicity. Given what we are learning
now, however, that’s not entirely accu-
rate.
Those championships and national
exposure have been a source of tremen-
dous pride for the school.
But in that achievement, it is becom-
ing obvious that somewhere along this
remarkable journey, one important
thing has been lost: A sense of propor-
tion.
The mission of EMCC is preparing
students for the workplace or a four-
year degree. Anything that impedes,
distracts or compromises that mission
Other editors
How stupid can
college kids be?
The stupidity of college students
can be boggling at times. It makes
one wonder about the quality of
American education, particularly
how well or how much young people
are taught about history.
Had three University of Missis-
sippi students fully understood the
story of Emmett Till, we would hope
they would not have thought it cute
or clever to pose, holding long guns,
in front of an already bullet-riddled
sign in Tallahatchie County memori-
alizing Till’s premature death, or to
post the photo onto social media as
some type of a boast.
It also was not very smart, as
their actions reportedly caused the
FBI to look into the matter, and
could still prompt a Department of
Justice investigation as to whether
what they did constituted a hate
crime. Unless there is more evi-
dence to unearth, that’s probably a
stretch, as the photo was taken at
night with no one else around (other
than possibly the photographer), and
the social media post by one of the
three students sounded more like a
bad inside joke among friends than
an attempt to harass or intimidate
people of the opposite race.
Nevertheless, Till’s life and death
are no joking matter. He came in
1955 to this part of Mississippi from
Chicago at the age of 14 to visit
relatives and failed to make it out
alive because he broke a couple of
Southern racial taboos of the time:
He was fresh with a white woman,
and he apparently refused to grovel
to the white men who were going to
teach him a lesson for it.
Till’s murder — made worse by
the racist attitude of jurors that em-
powered them to acquit his killers
despite their obvious guilt — has
been a curse on Mississippi for more
than six decades. Every boneheaded
and racist act, such as this photo,
only continues to reinforce the neg-
ative stereotypes about this state in
the national consciousness.
Ole Miss officials say the univer-
sity has no grounds to discipline the
three students since their actions
didn’t occur at a university function
or on campus. College students,
after all, do have the right to behave
like boorish numskulls away from
school.
But someone other than the
fraternity that suspended them does
have the authority — and arguably
the obligation — to use the inci-
dent as a teaching moment for the
three. That someone would be their
parents.
They could require their sons
this fall to take a course at Ole
Miss in civil rights history. If these
three were to learn how cruelly and
unjustly not only Till was treated but
countless other blacks, who were
lynched or beaten or humiliated as
a way to try to keep them as sec-
ond-class citizens, that would wipe
the grin off the students’ faces. It
might also help them mature into
better-educated and better-behaving
grown-ups.
Greenwood Commonwealth
is a misplaced priority. And, yes, that
includes athletics, even a football team
as dominant as EMCC’s.
Over the past 10 years, EMCC’s fund
balance has fallen from a high of $11
million to roughly $1 million as classes
begin this fall. Those numbers would
have been much worse if the school
hadn’t drawn millions from one of its
auxiliary funds.
While that time-frame parallels the
meteoric rise of the EMCC football
team, it’s difficult to know to what de-
gree the cost of that football success is
responsible for the decline in funds.
What is known is EMCC athletics
generated almost $900,000 in revenue
during the 2018 season, but spent
almost $2.1 million. That net loss of
$1.2 million more than covers EMCC’s
budget deficit for the year.
There are two things that should be
noted here. First, athletics programs at
community colleges rarely are prof-
itable. Second, community colleges
justify the cost of athletics because they
enhance student experience, maintain

The new fire station is progressing
very slowly. In September of 2015 our
Chief said it would be operational by
fall of 2016 and would cost $600,000.
Well that didn’t happen and con-
struction was started July 2016. By
September 2017 the cost had risen
to $1,000,000 and the Chief stated
it would be complete by early 2018.
Robert Smith said the station would
be ready to move in by June 2019. In
December 2018 Andrews said the
city had paid the Biloxi firm Macha-
do Patono $28,000 to design the fire
house. Why would we go to Biloxi to
get a fire house design? Well could it
be because former front man for J5
Robyn Eastman is employed by them?
We have plenty of good architects in
this area so why go there? The design
has recently been redone by J. Wilcutt
design company, a local firm. I wonder
how much more we had to pay for that.
All of our city projects have been
overseen by J5 and they seem to have
been done poorly. Our wonderful
unneeded amphitheater has cost us
$3,000,000 of tax dollars. It has no
seats, no restrooms and no parking.
City Hall cost us $2,000,000 for a com-
plete renovation only to have a leaking
roof which we had to pay for also. Now
the fire station is way overdue and
over-budget. Whenever the J5 team
shows up it seems to be a lot of extra
money spent. These are the guys that
are supposed to come in under budget
and ahead of schedule. I built a metal
building similar to the fire station on
my property in the county three years
ago and was able to do it for less than

relationships with alumni and help es-
tablish and promote the school’s brand.
But when athletics amasses a $1.2
million deficit in a single season or
when annual salaries and benefits for
the school’s rodeo team — Who knew
EMCC had a rodeo team? — balloons
from $9,000 to $90,000 over a 10-year
period, it is clear the school’s priorities
are desperately out of balance.
Athletics isn’t the only area that’s los-
ing significant money. Lion Hills Center
— the old Columbus Country Club —
has been running losses of about half a
million dollars a year since the school
purchased it in 2012.
A quick glance at EMCC’s budget for
this coming school year shows things
are not expected to improve. Steep
enrollment losses over the past decade
are expected to continue, which will
only further hurt the school’s financial
outlook. While the school has other
reserves it can pull from, this trend of
overspending has to stop.
Even more ominous is that EMCC
will open its $42 million Communiver-
$20 per square foot. The city is look-
ing at $100 per square foot. Wow what
a difference!
J5’s owner and his corporations
don’t seem to be able to manage their
own business, much less the cities.
They have not paid off all their tax
leins and are accumulating more. The
latest being not paying their unem-
ployment taxes to the state.
We recently were downgraded as a
city by Moodys ratings. This will lead
to higher costs for borrowing money.
Our taxes are going up and we are
almost bankrupt. We just agreed to
borrow up to $5,000,000 for the storm
and now the Mayor wants to borrow
another $3,000,000 for the street
lights. Every time we borrow money
for the city it is like you are co-signing
with someone for a loan. Now that
would be fine if it is someone you trust
and you hope they will pay it back so
you can maintain your credit rating.
Well my question is would you co-sign
a loan with the city of Columbus? I
know I would not under any circum-
stances.

Representative Jeff Smith’s part in the
discussions and lack of a consensus
resulting in the CVB failing to reach
a final agreement on the 2 percent

sity this fall. Five years in the making,
the Communiversity is a state-of-the-art
manufacturing skills and technology
center heralded as the biggest advance-
ment in community college education in
recent history. It stands to be a show-
piece for our community and a crucial
workforce training center to feed area
industry. Proper operation of the Com-
muniversity is crucial.
For at least 10 years school adminis-
tration — which includes three pres-
idents (current president Scott Also-
brooks arrived in January) — and the
EMCC board of trustees have watched
its reserves decline year after year but
have yet to implement changes needed
to get its financial house in order.
Either leadership was inexplicably
unaware of the growing funding crisis
or it lacked the will to make difficult,
but necessary, changes.
It’s time — past time, in fact — for
EMCC to take a cold, sober look at
how it funds its programs and restore a
long-needed sense of proportion to its
operations.
for festivals in the county, namely
Caledonia, Artesia and Crawford. As
mayor of Caledonia, I called Repre-
sentative Smith and discussed with
him our displeasure with the county
festivals being left out of the new
agreement and how I thought it was
unfair since county residents also pay
the 2 percent tax. Jeff agreed that he
would not support an agreement until
all sides could come to an agreement
and that county residents also were
not left out of any arrangement. It was
also requested that all festivals be
budgeted a yearly line item amount to
eliminate each festival having to “bow
and kiss the ring” of the CVB board in
hopes that each festival would receive
such amount for a festival as deemed
appropriate by the CVB board.
Representative Smith did in fact
demonstrate true Leadership in hear-
ing all sides to this issue and standing
his ground until a fair agreement
could be reached. In the two years
that I have been Mayor of Caledonia,
Jeff Smith has been Caledonia’s best
friend in Jackson, helping secure over
$170,000 in grants and funding for
projects in our town as a direct result
of his position as chairman of the pow-
erful House Ways and Means com-
mittee. I hope you will agree with me
that there is no substitute for Senior
Leadership in Jackson!
It is my privilege and honor to
publicly endorse Representative Jeff
Smith for re-election to Representa-
tive of District 39 and encourage all
my family and friends to vote for Jeff
Smith on August 6th.

Smithville — Carla Nanette
“Nan” Clark, 67, passed away
on Monday, July 29, 2019, at
NMMC-Gilmore in Amory.
Born in Dyess, Arkansas on
November 8, 1951, she was a
daughter of the late Lenard and
June Marshall Clark.
Nan graduated from New
Hope High School in Columbus,
MS. She owned and operated
the Columbus Christian Book Store that her
father had opened in 1958, and ran it successfully
through 2002. Nan was also a pianist and singer
for many churches, including East End Baptist,
Immanuel Baptist Church in Columbus, and her
father’s tent revivals. She served as a pianist
for Ethelsville Baptist Church in Alabama,
where she led musicals and worship for many
years. She played for several ministries as well,
including TV evangelist Jim Whittington, where
she met a mutual friend, Eva Mae Lefevre. A
talented musician, Nan could play just about any
instrument with keys on it. She was of the Baptist
faith and attended Liberty Grove Church.
Nan had a wonderful sense of humor and loved
to laugh. Her greatest love in her life was her
faith in Jesus Christ. She was a loving wife and
mother, and an obedient servant of the Lord. She
was well known for her heart and had a social
media presence of friends as well. Nan will be
dearly missed by those who knew and loved her.
Nan is survived by her loving husband,
Bobby Russell, of Smithville; son, KC Oswalt

EMCC
Continued from Page 1A
Alsobrooks said
some of that will
come from its gener-
al reserve fund that
currently holds about
$13 million, which
sits just at the nation-
ally recommended
threshold of 40 per- Alsobrooks
cent of total operations to be held
in reserve. Most, he said, will come
from a special fund set aside to start
the Communiversity — an industri-
al training facility built on Highway
82 in Lowndes County with local,
state and Appalachian Regional
Commission grant funding that
will open this fall. That special fund
holds a total of about $3.5 million,
he said.
EMCC’s main campus is in Scoo-
ba, but also has a Golden Triangle
campus in Mayhew, the Communi-
versity and Lion Hills Center and
Country Club in Columbus.
EMCC’s board of trustees is
comprised of two members from
each of the counties EMCC serves:
Lowndes, Lauderdale, Oktibbeha,
Clay, Noxubee and Kemper.
Those members are voted to the
EMCC board from each county’s
board of supervisors.
Athletics spending
Athletics proved the primary
drain to EMCC’s general operat-
ing fund balance, at
least in FY 2018, the
most recent year for
which The Dispatch
obtained detailed
documents.
That department
spent $2.035 million
that fiscal year, out- Stephens
pacing its revenue
by $1.14 million. Non-athletic line
items in EMCC’s general fund op-
erated at a combined $300,000 sur-
plus in FY 2018.
The $1.1 million spent in 2018
on the vaunted EMCC football pro-
gram, which has won five junior
college national championships un-
der Coach Buddy Stephens and was
the subject of the first two seasons
of the Netflix documentary “Last
Chance U,” exceeded the $895,000
in total athletics revenue that year
all by itself.
Athletics salaries in each sport
have increased across the board
over the past 10 years, with total sal-
aries and benefits for the school’s
eight sports programs rising from
$964,275 in 2009 to $1,335,420 in
2018.
Football accounts for $734,771
of that, with Stephens hauling in
$124,732 and pay for his six as-
sistants ranging from $25,000 to
$90,000. The school also provides
them with housing and other fringe
benefits.
The 2020 budget shows a
$232,171 cut throughout athletics,
including a $51,032 reduction in
football specifically.
Coaches salaries, however, ap-
pear to have stayed the same.
“We have made cuts in athlet-
ics,” Alsobrooks said. “We’ve cut
across the board, every sport. We
have made some cuts and based on
enrollment we will probably make
other cuts in coming years. You’re
right to assume when you have that
kind of cash out and that revenue

■ Greg Stewart, Lowndes County
■ Lance Walters, Lowndes County
coming in, it’s just an obvious target
for cuts. We have made cuts there
and we will probably have to cut
more moving forward.”
Alsobrooks added that EMCC
will look to cut down on uniform
costs, travel and other non-person-
nel but said he hopes enrollment
starts to increase to eliminate the
threat of further cuts at the college.
Board members Lance Walters
of Lowndes County and Spencer
Broocks of Oktibbeha County, ac-
knowledged the strain athletics
spending is placing on college oper-
ations as a whole.
“The athletics is the most sig-
nificant part,” Walters said. “That,
to me, is nice to have
but it’s not a ‘must
have.’ We’re looking
at how to restrain
that, maybe even for
just a year until we
can get our revenue
up. I don’t want to
blame this on all of Walters
football, but football
is an opportunity to
(cut). What can we
do with less and still
have a competitive
football program?”
Broocks added,
though salary cuts
were a part of the Broocks
original proposed
budget, those cuts never came to
fruition. According to the FY 2020
budget, EMCC did cut a budget for
“additional duty pay for athletics”
that cost EMCC $106,000 in FY
2019.
“That was in the original plan,
that athletic salaries would take
a 10-percent cut,” Broocks said.
“That is not what was approved.
Their salaries remained the same,
but non-personnel (uniforms,
equipment, facility upgrades) did
take a cut.”
Enrollment decline
Alsobrooks said the direct trend
between the college’s declining
general fund balance also falls in
line with declining enrollment.
EMCC has logged a net student
loss for the past 10 years with a high
of 5,308 enrolled in fall 2010 and
only 4,086 enrolled in fall 2018.
While enrollment stayed flat in
2019, according to EMCC officials,
the FY 2020 budget is bracing for
another 2- to 3-percect dip this year
— as many as another 120 students.
“I hope we can find the bottom to
this enrollment downward trend,”
Alsobrooks said. “If that becomes
stabilized, we won’t have to be look-
ing at cuts. Right now, looking at
our numbers they’re looking OK.
We’ve been dropping 3, 4 or 5 per-
cent every year since about 2010.
We’ve been down every year. …

n LOOKING CLOSER AT EMCC ATHLET-
ICS SPENDING, PAGE 1B.
We’re always going to have to make
adjustments. We may make cuts to
certain areas, but hopefully not too
bad.”
Alsobrooks attributed declin-
ing enrollment to a national trend.
More and more students are head-
ing to four-year universities or
straight into the workforce.
“We’re in good shape,” Also-
brooks said. “There’s many other
community colleges in very similar
situations.”
Walters said EMCC is also
looking to petition the state to al-
locate funds for dual enrollment,
a program that allows high school
students in the region to take col-
lege classes. EMCC allows several
programs locally for that, but the
college doesn’t receive state fund-
ing for that student, only tuition in
some cases.
“The community college is not
getting any money for that student
until they come finish that associ-
ates (degree),” Walters said. “They
are trying to lobby that from the
state. The main thing is focusing on
how to get enrollment up.”
LINK concerned about
Communiversity’s future
With EMCC opening the $42
million Communiversity this fall,
Golden Triangle LINK CEO Joe
Max Higgins is worried if the col-
lege’s general fund woes will trans-
late to the Communiversity’s sus-
tainability.
The facility was funded through
$18 million in state bonds, $10.7
million from the Appalachian Re-
gional Commission, $10 million
from Lowndes County, $2.5 million
from Oktibbeha County, $1 million
from Clay County and $400,000
from EMCC.
Higgins, whose organization
serves as the region’s industri-
al development group, said he is
still hopeful for the Communiver-
sity and its impact on the region.
He added, however, the college’s
funding priorities overall need to
change.
“There’s some questions here
that need to be an-
swered, but nobody
wants to talk about,”
Higgins told The
Dispatch. “Our lo-
cal community put
$13.5 million into this
building. If the school
is going through ($10 Higgins
million in deficits
over a decade), about a million a
year, that ain’t good. … I think it’s
pretty clear what’s happening here:
Workforce development and GED
programs may be put on the back
burner so we can win us another
football championship.
“I am taking a wait-and-see at-
titude on the Communiversity,” he
added. “It is a gem. I hope that two
or three decades from now we look
back and say that is what changed
this region forever. But if we don’t
get the right management and the
right resources, I’m not sure we can
get where we need to go.”

Astros ace Greinke deal; 2 dozen trades on deadline day
The Associated Press
Out of nowhere, the Houston Astros got a huge
head start on October.
On a dizzying day that featured two dozen trades,
the Astros pulled off the biggest and most startling
deal, adding ace Zack Greinke to an imposing rota-
tion already loaded with All-Stars Justin Verlander
and Gerrit Cole.
Plenty of familiar names were on the go Wednes-
day — Shane Greene and Mark Melancon boosted
the Braves’ bullpen, with Scooter Gennett, Jesús
Aguilar, Mike Leake and Tanner Roark among
those also moving.
But it was the Astros’ acquisition of Greinke
from Arizona for four minor leaguers that quickly
became the talk of baseball. The deal came right be-
fore the deadline for swapping players to still have
them eligible for the postseason.
“We had him high on our list and we didn’t know
this was even remotely possible and it really wasn’t
until the last 48 hours and really the last 24 hours
that we started to get traction on something,” Hous-
ton general manager Jeff Luhnow said.
The AL West leaders and 2017 World Series
champions added two other pitchers, too, getting
starter Aaron Sanchez and reliever Joe Biagini from
Toronto.
“Houston made some big deals. They’re really
good. They were good before,” Red Sox President of
Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski said.
A lot of contenders were busy.
The Chicago Cubs added Detroit’s Nicholas Cas-
tellanos to their lineup, the Phillies got outfielder
Corey Dickerson from Pittsburgh and the Wash-
ington Nationals acquired relievers Daniel Hudson,
Roenis Elías and Hunter Strickland.
In most cases, major leaguers were swapped for
minor leaguers.
“When it comes to trades, one thing I’ve learned
is, just wait,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.
“You’ve got to wait until the very end and it plays
itself out. The 11th hour is the most powerful hour
there is. To get things done before that, it normally
doesn’t work to get what you want. There’s the 11th
hour at work.”
Several players whose names swirled in the
tradewinds stayed put.
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, Mets starters
Noah Syndergaard and Zack Wheeler and Pirates
closer Felipe Vázquez remained in place. So did

Donaldson homers in 10th,
lifts Braves over Nationals
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Josh Donaldson gave the Atlan-
ta Braves a little more breathing room in the National
League East.
Donaldson homered against Sean Doolittle in the top
of the 10th inning, and the Braves pulled out a 5-4 victory
over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday to take two
of three in the series and pad their division lead to 6½
games.
“It felt good,” Donaldson said. “You know, 0-for-4 with
two (strikeouts) before that. I was able to put a good swing
together and help our team win the game.”
After the Nationals scored twice in the bottom of the
ninth to tie the game, Donaldson swatted a fastball from
Doolittle (6-3) over the center-field wall for his 25th ho-
mer of the season.

EMCC
Continued from Page 1B
sity’s general fund lost at
least $618,010 in seven of
the 10 years and enroll-
ment decreased every
year from 2011-18.
Further, with the ad-
vent of Sullivan-Windham
Field and a renovation of
the Scooba Campus Stu-
dent Union, the general
fund’s total operating
costs at EMCC jumped
from $26.34 million in
2010 to $32.33 million in
2011 — creating a deficit
of $2.58 million for that
fiscal year.
Beyond the large scale
numbers, a closer look at
Stephens and his assis-
tants’ salaries offers an-
other glance at the heavy
investment EMCC made
in football despite not hav-
ing the money to sustain
it.
According to financial
documents obtained by
The Dispatch, Stephens
earned an annual salary
of $124,732 in 2016 — a
number which he later
said included a stipend to
live off campus, a school
gas card, a Nissan, a
phone and meals. The
EMCC head coach said
his personal salary has
not increased since.
The board-approved
Fiscal Year 2020 budget
confirmed Stephen’s sala-
ry is scheduled to remain
the same. EMCC offen-
sive coordinator David
Boykin will be paid an
annual salary of $90,000
that includes a duplex,
phone and meals, while
defensive coordinator
Cliff Collins is slated
to earn $87,500 with a
house, phone and meals
included.
For transparency, The
Dispatch provided Ste-
phens with a copy of the
2018 athletic department
financial records. Though
he could not confirm the
accuracy of EMCC’s 2018
deficit, he objected to
its note the school spent
$45,726 on awards —
most notably champion-
ship rings.
Stephens said this mon-
ey was raised through
selling reserved seats and
the cost of the rings was
actually more expensive
than listed.
In response to the
athletic department’s
dire spending, EMCC
President Scott Also-
brooks told The Dispatch
Wednesday he expects a
10-15 percent reduction
in operating costs and a
10 percent decrease in
coaching salaries for the
football program.
Stephens confirmed he
is aware of the potential
change.
“That’s something
that’s probably not far
from being wrong,” he
said. “I haven’t been told
specific dollar amounts,
but I know that there’s a
push from different enti-
ties to make sure less is
spent on athletics at the
Scooba campus.”
The board-approved
Fiscal Year 2020 budget,
however, does not show
decreased salaries for the
coaches.
While the football
team has been the ex-
ceeding beneficiary of
the athletic department’s
overspending, it’s not the
only EMCC sports pro-
gram that has progres-
sively earned a bump in
funding.
Since its inception in
2010, the Lions rodeo
team received a more
than 1,000 percent in-
crease in salaries and
fringes — jumping from
$9,203 in 2010 to $91,565
in 2018.
Baseball, men’s and
women’s basketball and
softball have also all
received major salary
boosts over that time span
as all four programs were
granted increases of at
least $27,000.
Overall, depart-
ment-wide spending in-
creased $371,145 between
2009 and 2018.
Despite the vast spend-
ing, Alsobrooks was
staunch in his stance that
he would not cut any more
programs after golf was
discontinued in 2017.
“We did cut back on
some expenses,” he said.
“Certain things for ath-
letics you can’t cut, insur-
ance is expensive. There
are some areas we’re go-
ing to look at — can you
wear the same uniform for
another year, or the same
helmet for three? Every-
thing we are going to look
at closely. If we can figure
out how to work smarter
not harder, we will.”
EMCC Vice President
of the Scooba Campus/
Director of Athletics
Mickey Stokes could not
be reached for comment
Wednesday.
Sunday, Stephens and
the Lions open fall camp.
Though the team is fo-
cused on chasing a third-
straight NJCAA title,
an athletic department
in dire financial straits
could cast a shadow over
the Thursday night lights
at Sullivan-Windham this
season.
“If anyone has a
thought or a complaint,
we have board meetings
on the first Monday of
every month,” Stephens
said. “I’d ask those peo-
ple to come to the board
meeting if they have a
problem.”

Trade deals
Continued from Page 1B
Mets closer Edwin Díaz
and Texas starter Mike
Minor.
“Nothing changed for
me. I never expected to
be somewhere else until
that happened,” Bumgar-
ner said. “I just have a job
to do and I’m going to do
it. We’re going to miss a
few guys we got rid of.
That’s going to be tough.”
Major League Base-
ball made July 31 a hard
deadline this year for
trades. Now, no deals can
be made until after the
World Series.
“This was a unique
deadline, it felt,” said
Yankees general man-
ager Brian Cashman,
whose AL East-leading
team didn’t make any sig-
nificant moves.
Pitchers Marcus Stro-
man, Andrew Cashner,
Homer Bailey and Jason
Vargas were among the
players who were traded
in recent weeks.
And on Tuesday night,
the Cleveland Indians
agreed to send pitcher
Trevor Bauer to Cincin-
nati in a three-team swap
that brought back out-
fielder Yasiel Puig. That
trade became official
Wednesday, setting off
a full morning and after-
noon of swaps.
Wheeler heard the
speculation involving
him.
“It’s almost happened
several times and never
did. I’m happy to be here
and I’m concentrating on
producing and doing well
here,” he said. “It was all
there for it to happen and
just didn’t. I was ready for
it, especially with me be-
ing a free agent after the
season.”

its effort on padding its
bullpen. likely to take over the

said. “At the end of the

there were deals that

tures,” Donaldson said

on the Oakland A’s. “He
had gotten me out two
times before that. Today,
it was my turn.”
Shortly after Donald-
son homered, the Braves
bolstered their roster
with a pair of trades just
before the 4 p.m. dead-
line, acquiring relievers
Shane Greene and Mark
Melancon.
“Shane Greene has
a 1.00 ERA. So, I think
anyone would take him,”
first baseman Freddie
Freeman said of the All-
Star. The Braves acquired
Greene for a pair of mi-
nor-league prospects.
Adam Duvall homered
for the fourth time in five
games. Ronald Acuña
Jr., Ozzie Albies and Ty-
ler Flowers also drove in
runs for the Braves, who
went 4-2 on a road trip
through Philadelphia and
Washington, their top
challengers for the NL
East title.
Atlanta won consecu-
tive series in Washington
for the first time since
2013. They also won two
of three in late June.
“I don’t get tired of
watching that offense,”
manager Brian Snitker
said. “It’s amazing how
they keep fighting. You
know, it was tough to lose
the lead in the ninth. But
they just keep coming
back.”
NATIONALS’ TRADES
n In an effort to improve their beleaguered bull-
pen prior to the trade deadline, the Nationals ac-
quired veteran reliever Daniel Hudson from the To-
ronto Blue Jays for pitching prospect Kyle Johnston.
They also acquired relievers Hunter Strickland
and Roenis Elías from Seattle in exchange for pitch-
ing prospects Elvis Alvarado, Aaron Fletcher and
Taylor Guilbeau.
The Nationals have the worst bullpen ERA in the
majors at 5.97.
Atlanta got another Gerardo Parra that tied

INDIANAPOLIS — Erica Wheeler made a go-ahead layup
with 11.9 seconds left, rookie Teaira McCowan blocked two
shots at the other end and the Indiana Fever beat the Atlanta
Dream 61-59 on Wednesday night.
Indiana (7-15) snapped a six-game losing streak and
eight-game home skid that matched the club record for a single

the WNBA after a season-high sixth consecutive defeat.
Wheeler had 15 points and five steals, and McCowan
added 10 points and 14 rebounds. Indiana led by 13 points in
the third quarter but Atlanta opened the fourth on a 17-5 run for
a 59-54 lead. Wheeler’s basket was Indiana’s only field goal in
the fourth quarter.
Elizabeth Williams scored 17 points for Atlanta, and Alex
Bentley added 12.
Both teams shot under 32 percent from the field, combin-

Race to CME Globe leader: Jin Young Ko.
Last week: Jin Young Ko won the Evian Cham-

Notes: This is the first time since 1960 that
LPGA majors were held in consecutive weeks.
Joyce Ziske won the Women’s Western Open
and Mickey Wright won the LPGA Champion-
ship in 1960. ... Jin Young Ko is the first woman
since Inbee Park in 2015 to win at least two ma-
jors in one season. ... Ariya Jutanugarn won the
Women’s British Open the last time it was held
at Woburn in 2016. ... Ko returns to No. 1 after
her victory in the Evian Championship. Her
current ranking includes 27 finishes in the top
10, including five victories on the LPGA Tour
and two victories on the Korean LPGA. ... Lexi
Thompson skipped the Women’s British Open
last year, saying she needed a mental break
from the game. ... Hall last year became the
second woman from England to win the Wom-
en’s British Open. The other was Karen Stup-
ples in 2004. ... Yani Tseng (2010-11) is the only

Last week: Brooks Koepka won the WGC-Fe-
dEx St. Jude Invitational and Collin Morikawa
won the Barracuda Championship.
Notes: This is the final tournament of the FedEx
Cup regular season. The top 125 players in the
standings retain full PGA Tour cards for next
year and are eligible for the FedEx Cup play-
offs. ... Alex Noren is at No. 125 by two points
over Austin Cook and Richy Werenski. ... Every
player from No. 103 through No. 138 in the Fe-
dEx Cup is in the field. Dominic Bozzelli (No.
139) was first alternate at the start of the week.
... With his victory last week, Brooks Koepka
already has clinched the $2 million bonus for
leading the FedEx Cup in the regular season.
... Even with $10 million in bonus money for the
leading 10 players in the regular season, Paul
Casey at No. 8 is the only player from the top 10
in the field. Casey can move up as high as No.
4 in the Wyndham Rewards, which would be
worth an additional $500,000. ... Jordan Spieth

a playoff to Patrick Reed in 2013. ... Two-time

Looking for starters at Hall of Fame Game? Try the O-lines
By BARRY WILNER
The Associated Press
CANTON, Ohio — It’s the
first preseason NFL game,
which means most starters get
to visit the Pro Football Hall of
Fame, then watch the young-
sters go at it.
So if you’re looking for any
likely regulars on the field
Thursday night for the Falcons
and Broncos, focus on the offen-
sive lines.
Denver’s new coach, Vic Fan-
gio, will start three O-linemen
who could be in the opening day
lineup: left tackle Garett Bolles,
rookie left guard Dalton Risner
and center Connor McGovern.
All need work on cohesion, a
must for any blocking unit, but
particularly when the quarter-
back is more stationary than
most. That’s what the Broncos
have in veteran Joe Flacco, ac-
quired from Baltimore.
Flacco won’t play against At-
lanta.
McGovern’s low snaps out of
the shotgun have been a prob-
lem this summer, just as they
were last season when he took
over for an injured Matt Par-
adis, who left in free agency in
the offseason.
Offensive coordinator Rich
Scangarello hopes the blockers
get tested.
“Yeah, let’s see who can
block a good pass rusher with-
out chipping them,” Fangio
said. “Even though they’ve got
the box loaded, let’s see if we
can run the ball up the middle.”
Atlanta’s front line battles
have first-round picks Chris
Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary
competing for starting jobs at
right guard and right tackle, re-
spectively. Lindstrom was listed
as the starter on the team’s first
depth chart, while McCary is
behind veteran Ty Sambrailo.
The Falcons have the weap-
ons to be dynamic on offense,
but not if Matt Ryan (who also
will sit Thursday night) doesn’t
get protection and Devonta
Freeman doesn’t have room to
run.
One of the all-time greats
among offensive linemen will
be on hand: Mike Munchak.
Fangio said one thing he was
looking forward to was seeing
the OL coach’s bronze bust in
the Hall of Fame.
“I’m sure Munch will be
there charging a fee to take a
picture with the guys with his
bust,” Fangio said. “I’m going
to try to get a picture with Mike
standing next to his bust. That
will be cool.”
Here are some other note-
worthy themes for the game
two days before former Falcons
tight end Tony Gonzalez, for-
mer Broncos defensive back
Champ Bailey and the team’s
late owner, Pat Bowlen, are in-
ducted into the hall. Also enter-
ing are Ed Reed, Kevin Mawae,
Ty Law, Gil Brandt and Johnny
Robinson.
Falcons wide receiver Julio
Jones already has said he won’t
play in any preseason games.
He skipped all preseason
games last season before lead-
ing the NFL with 1,688 yards
receiving. Jones said he’ll be
coaching young receivers and is
especially interested in seeing
Christian Blake, who he said
has been “phenomenal catching
the ball down the field.”
Blake spent last season
learning from the likes of Jones
and Mohamed Sanu while on
the practice squad, and he is
having a strong camp.
The veteran defensive coor-
dinator now in his first job as a
head coach doesn’t want to use
a lot of stuff in the preseason,
preferring to test his young
players and see what they’ve
got. He said he wants to puts
his players in difficult situations
“just to see who can handle it.”
“For instance, if I’m pretty
confident they might be throw-
ing it, instead of giving a cor-
ner some help, we’ll see if he
can cover his guy. Play a light
box even though we think they
might be running it, things like
that,” Fangio said.

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
My father’s
behavior has
been very pecu-
liar lately. He and
Mom have been
married for 45
years. Of course,
all marriages go
through ups and
downs. They have
had their share of
ZITS health problems.
Both are doing
OK but are deal-
ing with some
medical issues.
Because
Dear Abby
of my father’s
actions, I’m afraid for my
mother’s emotional state. He
stays gone for long periods of
time throughout the day and
sometimes stays out until the
early morning of the next day.
She always stays up until he
gets home. When she calls or
GARFIELD texts him, at times he doesn’t
respond. I’ve also called or
texted him while he was out.
When I tried talking to him, he
said he doesn’t have to explain
himself. He’s not the best at
staying on track when it comes
to taking care of himself. It’s
like he is living another life.
I’m not sure what’s going
on between my parents. I just
know I don’t like to see Mom
treated this way because it’s
disrespectful, and I can see
she’s hurting. My
relationship with
my father is suf-
fering because of
this. I asked him
to come to family
counseling with
me, my siblings
and mother. He
refuses. I’m pray-
ing about this. I
just don’t know
what else we can
do. Please help.
— PERPLEXED
DAUGHTER
DEAR DAUGH-
TER: You cannot
force your father
into family counseling, but you
and your siblings can continue
to give your mother emotional
support during this difficult
time, and that’s what I urge
you to do. I don’t know what
your father is up to and neither
do you. But if it becomes nec-
essary, a private detective can
fill you in, I’m sure.
DEAR ABBY: I am in a
loving and rewarding marriage.
Because we have no children,
my husband and I are best
friends who devote most of our
time to each other. My issue is
with some of his habits.
He is kind of clumsy,
and this has resulted in the
destruction of many things in
our home — our carpet (spills
that can’t be cleaned), coffee
table (discolored from spilling
a caustic material) and sofa
(spilled wax and cigar burns).
I know he doesn’t do this
intentionally, but nonetheless,
it makes me irate. And it is
constant. He apologizes for it,
yet it occurs repeatedly.
Is there anything I can do
to change this, or must I ac-
cept the incremental destruc-
tion of my home? And if that’s
the case, what can I tell myself
to make me less angry about
it? — MRS. DESTRUCTO IN
BALTIMORE
DEAR MRS. DESTRUCTO:
A certain amount of wear
and tear is normal. But your
husband may be one of those
people — many people are
— who “lives” on the sofa.
Much of your problem might
be eliminated if you made sure
that snacks are consumed in
the kitchen and no beverages
more colorful than water are
enjoyed in front of the tele-
vision. If that’s not feasible,
consider durable, stain-resis-
tant fabrics when you re-cover
your sofa.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(August 1). The new regimen
you start this month will rock
your world, giving you the
increased vitality to uphold
your standards. You strive for
friendliness, compassion and
community even while exhibiting
strength and competitive
instinct. It’s these contrasts of
character that make you popu-
lar and give you an edge in busi-
ness. Sagittarius and Pisces
BABY BLUES adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 9, 40, 2, 22 and 18.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The accuracy in which you say
a person’s name and recall the
details of an event or accom-
plishment will be crucial to the
success of a conversation.
Practice first to be safe.
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Maybe it’s not your job to get
everyone on the same wave-
length, but if you miss that part,
your job won’t go very smoothly.
Listen to find out where people
are. Then you can build a bridge
to where you need them to be.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Every environment has a tone.
To perpetuate and maintain
the tone is an act of respect.
Some tones need or deserve
to be interrupted and reset,
but for the most part today’s
social interaction requires only
matching.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There’s so much that can be
lost — keys and friends, dimes,
socks, points, heart, will,
concentration. The magnitude of
losable things is what makes
that which you haven’t and can’t
seem to lose so wonderfully
yours. Appreciate.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Resentment takes up energetic
space. It creates a blockage.
New opportunity opens up to
you just as soon as you lose
your resentment over that old
thing that, for whatever reason,
just didn’t happen.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The legendary New York Yan-
kees catcher Yogi Berra said,
“When you come to a fork in the
road, take it.” With great enthu-
siasm, you’ll somehow manage
to advance several trajectories
at once today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Physical and emotional space is
the theme. People are different
in their requirements of this.
Assume nothing, and lightly test
boundaries the way you might
check an electric fence to see
if it’s on.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You have no interest in
simply being active. What does
it matter unless you’re also
productive? Efficiency matters
to you, and you’ll point out the
wastes of time and energy in
order to make a better plan.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Some breeds of
horse can pull three times their
weight. You’ve a kinship with
the centaur today, as you’ll be
given much more work than the
others. That’s probably because
you can handle it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The way you make introduc-
tions will be important, whether
you’re introducing yourself or
others. People learn how to con-
sider one another through social
cues. Getting this right will set
off a nice chain of events.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). It would be easy to obsess
with the extremes of the situa-
tion. Rigid perspectives jut out,
defining the edges of what’s
acceptable. Over time, they get
worn by wind and water. They
soften, crumble and recess.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Take your time in consid-
ering options. No decision is a
decision, possibly the best one.
This is especially applicable to
financial matters. Avoid recur-
ring commitments. Things will
be different tomorrow.

Powell Fed raises as many

questions as answers with rate cut
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON — when the risk of a reces-
The Federal Reserve
cut its key interest rate
Wednesday for the first
time in a decade to try
to counter the impact
of President Donald
Trump’s trade wars, stub-
bornly low inflation and
global weakness.
It left open the possi-
bility of future rate cuts,
but perhaps not as many
as Wall Street had been
hoping for. During a news
conference, Chairman Je-
rome Powell struggled to
find just the right words to
articulate the Fed’s strate-
gy and what might prompt
future rate cuts at a time
sion in the United States
seems relatively low.
The Dow Jones Indus-
trial Average tumbled to
finish down 333 points, or
1.2 percent. The yield on
the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 2.01 percent from
2.06 percent late Tuesday,
a sharp drop.
The central bank re-
duced its benchmark rate
— which affects many
loans for households and
businesses — by a quar-
ter-point to a range of 2
percent to 2.25 percent.
It’s the first rate cut since
December 2008 during
the depths of the Great
Recession, when the Fed
slashed its rate to a record
low near zero and kept
it there until 2015. The
economy is far healthi-
er now despite risks to
what’s become the lon-
gest expansion on record.
But Powell stressed
that the Fed is worried
about the consequences
of Trump’s trade war and
sluggish economies over-
seas.
“Weak global growth
and trade tensions are
having an effect on the
U.S. economy,” he said.
