Oktibbeha County is
facing a growing need for
more office space as dis-
cussions of purchasing
a new building on Lynn
Lane continue to drag
out.
The county offered Roberson
$1.7 million for the build-
ing, a former Mississippi Department
of Health building that’s now owned by
CMMG Enterprises, in August.
At Monday’s meeting, board attor-
ney Rob Roberson said that bid has
been denied, as the building’s owner
has indicated he will not accept less
than $1.9 million.
“He said his bottom line for what he
has to accept on that particular build-
ing is $1.9 (million),” Roberson said.
“He said if it’s $1.8-whatever, he’d turn
it down.”
The county has been considering
a purchase of the building for several
months. If it buys the building, it would

Rumors swirl around New Hope shooting death

The death of 20-year-old
Tyler Hall is a tragedy, and
that is something everyone
can agree on.
It may be the only thing
people can agree on as
speculation and rumor swirl
around the Nov. 10 shooting
death. This paper has per-
haps received more whispers,
calls and emails concerning
this case than any other in
recent history.
Lowndes County coroner
Greg Merchant confirmed
Hall died from a single
gunshot wound to the head
on the evening of Nov. 10 at
a residence on Phillips Hill
Road in New Hope, and the
Lowndes County Sheriff’s
Office ruled the death as
accidental and self-inflicted.
The LCSO said the death
occurred after Hall and
others were playing a form of
Russian roulette. No charges
have been filed, though as of
this morning the investiga-
tion into the shooting death
remains open.
Before the story broke in
the media, the rumor mill
around this incident was run-
ning. We have heard accu-
sations against nearly every
involved party, accompanied
by all sorts of conjecture and
conspiracy theories.
The Dispatch has also
been criticized by what some
people believe to be an effort
to cover up the true story.
We stand by our reporting to
date. As new facts emerge,
we will continue to follow the
story and report it according
to the available information.
Outside of law enforce-
ment and the coroner, our
reporters have talked to
multiple people close to the
incident. No credible story
line that contradicts the offi-
cial ruling has yet emerged.
Reporting unsubstantiated
rumors is helpful to no one
and, in fact, can only produce
harm by inflicting more pain
on the families and friends
affected by this tragedy.
Given the nature of the
death, it is understandable
that initial findings are
difficult to accept, but we
urge patience and restraint
until more details are known
through the release of the
state medical examination
report. It is far better to wait
until the facts emerge to
make judgments.
That, too, is something
everyone should be able to
agree on.

Letter to the editor

Voice of the people
War on drug abuse
Being a member of the “Drug Abuse and
Prevention” task force, I have been educated
to this scourge in our community. One thing
I have learned is, legalizing any type of drugs
is not the answer. It is proven that marijuana is
the gateway drug to other more potent drugs.
Those that support the legalization of marijua-
na would not agree with me, but there are facts
that will support my views.
I read Mr. Emmerich’s article in the Novem-
ber 19th edition of The Dispatch with an open
mind and great interest. From the information
I have received, the data quoted in the article
from Colorado is a little misleading. Legalizing
a substance does not decrease it’s demand or
usage. I will agree that in Mississippi, we have
a rehabilitation problem along with a preven-
tion problem. While serving on the drug task
force I have learned we have a drug problem
in our prisons that needs to be addressed. Our
elected officials should be held accountable
for the problems in our penal systems. Maybe
laws should be amended or improved in the
drug sentencing laws. I don’t have the legal
knowledge to know. What I do know is public
education and awareness is needed.
What we are doing now is not working. The
problem cannot be ignored and there is not a
quick fix or easy solution. Public input and con-
cern is needed. The police need our help. See
something, say something. Let’s work together
Politics
to remove this scourge from our city.
God Bless Columbus and America.

That number is certainly stunning when
considering that fewer than 82 million total
voted in 2014 during the last midterm elec-
tion.
The high turnout speaks to the climate of
politics in the United States, and the way in
which both sides of the political aisle have
responded to various issues since Donald
Trump was elected president in 2016.
Whether voters classify themselves as
Republican, Democrat or Independent,
everyone has an opinion on what President
Trump’s policies are or aren’t doing for the
United States and, likewise, most are active-
ly engaged and invested in what the future
holds.
Regardless of the midterm results being
to each individual’s personal taste, a hearty
round of applause has to be given to Ameri-
cans simply taking charge and letting their
voices be heard in massive numbers.
It’s easy - terrifyingly so - to be apathetic
about local, state and federal elections. In a
country of 326 million people, the voice and
the vote of one person might seem irrelevant,
but when several million shrug their shoul-
ders and don’t head to the polls, the impact of
indifference can have vast repercussions.
The foundation of America was built on
everyone using their voice in bring change,
and far too often in this country we take
democracy - and the right to vote that comes
with it - for granted.
It is imperative that we, as a country,
always remember the importance and the
sacrifices made for all of us to have these
rights.
But it goes so far beyond the voting booth,
it will be two more years before the United
States has another major election. We would
encourage everyone to stay involved and
interested in what is happening on the federal
level, and to keep an ear to the ground in the
months between elections.
Remember what candidates do and don’t
do, hold them accountable for their action
or inaction and always remember that we all
have the power to change the country.

Roman Hudson
Richmond Roman Hudson, age 46, left this
earth too soon in Toronto, Canada on November 9,
2018 to be with the Lord. He was born March 13,
1972 in Winston County, Louisville, Mississippi,
and was the only son of Dr. and Mrs. Bobby
James (Belinda Wright) Hudson. He resided in
Atlanta, Georgia and San Francisco, California.
He spent his childhood in Louisville,
Greenwood and Columbus, Mississippi and
graduated Valedictorian of Lee High School
in Columbus of 1990 and Mississippi State
University School of Architecture of 1996. He
began his career in architecture with Robert
Adams in Jackson, Mississippi, and furthered
that career with Norman Askins’ prestigious
architecture firm in Atlanta, Georgia. Roman
was so successful at his profession he opened his
own firm for selective clients from the east to the
west coast and was in the process of completing
a magnificent home in Greenwich, Connecticut
at his death. His homes have been published in
magazines such as House Beautiful, Renovation
Style, and Kitchen and Bath. He was a creative,
talented designer and drew the plans for many
pieces of furniture for the interior spaces of
the homes he designed. He loved antiques and
architectural elements and often incorporated
them in many of the houses he built for his
clients. He was born to be an architect.
Roman loved God first, He was a Christian.
He loved to sing; and sang in the choir at First
Baptist Church of Jackson, Mississippi, and St.
Marks Methodist Church, Atlanta, Georgia.
He loved family and was always there to share
special occasions. He never failed to plan
adventures—trips to the Georgia mountains
where he had discovered waterfalls while hiking
and kayaking, trips to little towns where he found
architectural gems of houses and antiques, trips
to New York where he introduced family to new
cultures and foods and trips just to hunt for just
the right antique. He never failed to remember
his mother or grandmothers on their special
days and if he could not be there in person, there
were always flowers, beautiful flowers. He loved
body building and staying fit, and was the muse
for artists’ canvasses and portraits. He loved his
Scot heritage and embraced this by wearing the
traditional kilts and sporrans. He often attended
the Highland Scottish Games. He was generous
and loving and gave to many charities and fund
raising events, especially Toys for Tots. He had
friends from the east coast to the west coast and
internationally and made it his goal to make them
feel welcome and trust in human kindness. Mere
words on a page cannot begin to express the
rareness and uniqueness of his life and its effect
on those whose lives he touched.
He is survived by his parents; grandmother,
Mrs. Colleen Wright, of Louisville, Mississippi;
his paternal father, Mr. Richmond Watkins (Mary
Charles) of Sylacauga, Alabama; and half-sister,
Ashley Watkins of Brandon, Mississippi; Uncles
Mr. Charles M. (Brenda) Wright; and Mr. John

Bankrupt company has sale plans for 3 Mississippi hospitals

By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Three
different operators have
plans to take over north
Mississippi hospitals
from bankrupt opera-
tor Curae Health, which
could guarantee all three
stay open despite an earli-
er threat to close one.
Curae, based in Knox-
ville, Tennessee, bought
hospitals in Amory, Bates-
ville and Clarksdale from
Community Health Ser-
vices in 2017. The compa-
ny filed for bankruptcy in
August, saying revenues
declined and expenses
outpaced expectations,
leaving it unable to pay
$96 million in debts.
Coahoma County
Supervisor Paul Pear-
son said his county has
reached an agreement for
Community Health Ser-
vices to take back North-
west Mississippi Medical
Center in Clarksdale and
run it for a year while the
county seeks a long-term
owner. As part of the deal,
the county is paying a
month of payroll for the
hospital at a cost of about
$2.5 million before Com-
munity Health Services
takes over on Dec. 10.
The county, which owns
the hospital and leases
it for $500,000 a year, is
taking the money from a
hospital reserve fund.
Curae last month had
asked a bankruptcy judge
in Nashville, Tennessee,
to allow it to close the hos-
pital and lay off 484 em-
ployees. Curae said the
Clarksdale hospital was
losing so much money
that it could pull down the
company before it could
sell the other two medical
facilities. Curae is hand-
ing over the hospital at no
cost.

Airport
Continued from Page 1A
Jet fuel is always
available, but since the
airport’s runway is 500
feet too short to support
jet traffic, that tank sits
largely unused.
In September, Arm-
strong said, he urged
Hendrickson to refill the
aviation fuel tank, re-
minding him such mainte-
nance was specified in the
contract. Hendrickson
complied, but weeks later
he had allowed the tank to
empty again.
When Armstrong con-
tacted Hendrickson a sec-
ond time, the FBO owner
indicated he could not
continue managing the
airport to the contract’s
specifications.
“It was a very amicable
split,” Armstrong said.
“I like Claude a lot. He’s
a nice guy. He just lost
interest in managing the
airport.”
Falling on hard times
The Columbus-Lown-
des Airport boasts a
4,500-foot runway and
hangar rental space to
house up to 27 aircraft.
Pilots keep the hangars at
near capacity, Armstrong
said, mostly with sin-
gle-engine planes.
In just the last five
years, the city and coun-
ty have used more than
$800,000 in Federal Avi-
ation Administration
grants to improve the
airport — ranging from
airfield drainage projects
and obstruction removal
to renovations to the ter-
minal — for which local
entities only had to pro-
vide 5 percent in match-
ing funds. FAA provided
90 percent and the state
of Mississippi provided 5
percent.
According to informa-
tion The Dispatch found
on the AirNav website,
‘We’ve had some struggles out there.
I’m not going to lie. It’s a difficult
business, but I believe we have a nice
airport that has so much potential.’
Columbus Chief Operations Officer David Armstrong
the airport averages 33
flights per day, 52 percent
of which are transient
general aviation, 44 per-
cent local general aviation
and the remainder classi-
fied as either military or
air taxi.
Despite the invest-
ments, hangar rental and
use, airport board mem-
bers say circumstances
and a string of bad luck,
especially where FBOs
are concerned, continue
to hamper the airport’s
viability.
“We need a fixed-base
operator who has a knowl-
edge and passion for what
they are doing,” said air-
port board president Jeff
Smith, who is also a coun-
ty supervisor. “Recently
we just haven’t had that.”
The city and county pay
the FBO, as an indepen-
dent contractor, $40,000
annually to manage the
airport. The city /county
take on major renovation
expenses, mostly through
grants, as well as pay util-
ity costs. The FBO takes
on daily maintenance and
operations, and in turn
keeps revenue from fuel
sales and hangar rental.
Generally, Armstrong
said, an FBO contract is
more cost-effective than
hiring internal staff to run
the airport. Now, the city
and county share a rough-
ly $70,000 annual budget
dedicated to the airport.
“If we tried to staff it
ourselves, it would take
a manager and two as-
sistants earning wages
and benefits,” Armstrong
said. “That would balloon
the budget to probably
$150,000.”
The Taloney family
managed the airport suc-
cessfully for more than
two decades before quit-
ting the gig when its last
contract expired 12 years
ago, Armstrong said.
Since then, there’s been
a revolving door of FBOs,
all of which came in with
big ideas that never came
to fruition.
Some FBO busts were
more prominent than oth-
ers. Billy Scarborough,
who had the contract be-
fore Hendrickson, was ar-
rested in May for embez-
zling 2,000 gallons of fuel
with a Public Works fuel
card in 2014.
Smith said an FBO
with integrity, solid ad-
ministrative skills and a
good rapport with pilots
would help things get
back on track. He would
also like to see someone
local, as the last two have
resided out of the area.
“When we hire some-
one from out of the area,
it’s hard for me to envision
they would have the same
concerns as a local opera-
tor would have,” he said.
Profitability issues,
infrastructure needs
Even the best FBO
would face challenges at
the local airport, Arm-
strong said.
First, most commercial
air traffic goes through
Golden Triangle Region-
al Airport, which offers
multi-passenger Delta jet
flights to Atlanta and is lo-
cated just 10 miles west of
Columbus.
Plus, as both Smith
and Armstrong noted, the
hangars need updating to
expand rental potential,
and the runway needs to
be lengthened to accom-
modate jet traffic in order
to promote more profit-
able use.
“We want an airport
pilots can use general-
ly without restriction,”
Smith said. “Right now,
we have a number of re-
strictions.”
A standard FAA grant
might pay for much of
the runway project, but
grants to help with han-
gar updates require a
50-percent local match,
which Armstrong said the
city cannot afford right
now.
“Honestly, as it is,
there’s not a lot of money
to be made at the airport,”
Armstrong said. “That’s
the biggest issue when it
comes to finding an FBO.”
Closing the airport,
though, could be the cost-
liest option of all. FAA
grants require recipients
to keep funded projects in
use for their “useful life”
or 20 years, depending on
the project. If the city and
county closed the airport
before then, the entities
would have to repay FAA
the depreciated value of
all federal grant funds
the airport received as far
back as 1998 — a cost that
could be in the millions.
Also, Armstrong said,
it would be a shame to
shutter an airport he feels
is still viable.
“We’ve had some strug-
gles out there. I’m not
going to lie,” Armstrong
said. “It’s a difficult busi-
ness, but I believe we have
a nice airport that has so
much potential.”

loss of year
From Staff and Wire Reports
LAS VEGAS — As a
freshman, Arizona State’s
Kimani Lawrence made
three 3-pointers.
Monday night, the
sophomore drained three
from long
ASU 72, range — part
MSU 67 of a 22-point
performance
— including
the game winner with 33
seconds, to lead the Sun
Devils to a 72-67 victory
over No. 15 Mississippi
State in the heavyweight
bracket of the MGM Main
Event.
“I’ve completely recon-
structed my shot, from
the base, to the release, to
getting it all in one motion,
I’ve worked really hard for
it,” said Lawrence, who
is 9 of 19 from 3-point
range through the first
four games of the season.
“Credit to Remy (Martin)
to trusting me. He hit me,
I hit the shot. Stepped
up, made a big-time play
for the team, for the
program.”
Luguentz Dort added 17
points and nine rebounds,
while Remy Martin scored
16 for the Sun Devils, who
will meet Utah State in the
championship game on
Wednesday.
MSU, which will face
Saint Mary’s in the con-
solation game, was led
by Aric Holman with 22
points and 10 rebounds.
Arizona State, which
climbed as high as No. 3
after opening last season
12-0, improved to 4-0,
while handing the Bull-
dogs their first loss of the
season (3-1).
The Sun Devils held off
a second-half rally by Mis-
sissippi State, which tied
the game at 65 when Nick
Weatherspoon drained a
long-range jumper just in-
side the 3-point line with
one minute left in the
game.
“They have great size,
they’re very physical, they
played big — which is dif-
ficult for us — I thought
they just pounded us,”
Mississippi State coach
Ben Howland said.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Johnson helps Crimson
Tide defeat Tigers
From Special Reports
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
— Junior Cierra Johnson
scored a career-high 24
points Monday night to
lead the Alabama women’s
basketball team to a 76-56
victory against Clemson
at Coleman Coliseum.
Johnson was 8-for-11
from the
Roundup field and
had four
rebounds
and three assists. Junior
Jasmine Walker had 15
points and went 3-for-6
from 3-point range. Se-
nior Shaquera Wade had
13 points, six assists, and
four rebounds. Freshman
De’Sha Benjamin had 10
points and eight rebounds.
“I’m really proud of our
team,” Alabama coach
Kristy Curry said. “We
showed great effort, tre-
mendous energy, and
toughness. That is some-
thing we challenged our
players with during the
past two days after coming
back from our road trip. We
have got to continue to get
better, and I thought the
past two days we really fo-
cused on that and I think
it showed tonight. I appre-
ciate our crowd and we are
all thankful to be a part of
the Alabama family and we
appreciate their support.”
Alabama used an 8-0
run to take a 12-10 lead
with 5 minutes, 14 sec-
onds to play in the open-
ing quarter. The Crimson
Tide then buckled down
defensively and held the
Tigers scoreless for more
than six minutes and
forced nine turnovers. Al-
abama led 17-12 after one
quarter.
With the score tied at
19, Walker and Johnson
hit back-to-back 3-pointer
to make it 25-19. Alabama
finished the half on an
11-0 run to take a 41-29
halftime lead. Johnson
had 18 points in the first
20 minutes.
After building a 45-28 ad-
vantage with 8:13 remain-
ing in the third quarter,
Alabama made six-straight
field goals to extend its lead
to 58-32 with 3:49 left to
play in the period.
In the final quarter, Al-
abama grabbed its largest
lead of the game at 69-42
with 6:49 to play.
Alabama held Clemson
to 33 percent (23-for-69)
shooting, while it shot 49
percent (27-for-55) from
the field. The Crimson
Tide was 10-for-19 (53 per-
cent) from 3-point range.
Alabama will play host
to Grambling State at 2
p.m. Friday at Coleman
Coliseum.
n Notre Dame tops
AP Top 25, South
Carolina drops from top
10: At New York, South
Carolina’s run in the top
10 is over.
The Gamecocks fell out
of the first 10 teams in the
AP women’s basketball
poll on Monday after being
ranked that high for the
past 89 consecutive weeks
dating back to Jan. 6, 2014.
It was the third longest ac-
tive streak behind UConn
and Notre Dame.
South Carolina was
ranked 13th by the
31-member national me-
dia panel after losing to
then-No. 9 Maryland on
Sunday by 24 points. The
Terrapins moved up two
spots to No. 7.
The top six teams re-
mained unchanged with
Notre Dame a unanimous
No. 1 pick. The Irish were
followed by UConn, Or-
egon, Baylor, Louisville
and Mississippi State.
Stanford, Oregon State
and Texas round out the
first 10 teams in the poll.

Conference) has been made clear to
Moorhead. He remembers getting
off the plane, greetings fans, and
hearing about the importance of
the game that has earned the nick-
name “Egg Bowl.” MSU President
Mark E. Keenum reiterated the
point in a meeting after Moorhead’s
introductory news conference.
Moorhead believes the game
generates its own energy, so he
doesn’t have to fan the flame.
“They’re going to be fired up.
That kind of stands on its own mer-
it. They don’t need inflammatory
rhetoric from me to get fired up,”
Moorhead said. “That’s going to
last for a series or a half of a quarter.
Then ultimately you’re going to fall
back on your preparation and your
habits.
“Whether or not I give a pre-
game Knute Rockne fire them up
speech and put my fist through a
whiteboard, they’ll get fired up for
a second until they get on the bus
and then you’ll have to fall back on
your habits.”
Accelerated timeline
The SEC has a strong history of playing on Thanks-
giving Day. The move means two of its member schools
having a short week before a rivalry game.
The Big Ten Conference doesn’t have such agree-
ments, so Moorhead, who served as Penn State’s of-
fensive coordinator before taking over as head coach
at MSU, didn’t have to work on a short week in his time
there, but he has done plenty of it in the past.
“I was in the MAC (Mid-American Conference) for
four years,” Moorhead said, referring to the league that
often plays weekday games.
Moorhead coached two games on a short week in
his four years as Fordham’s head coach and won them
both (in 2014 against Lafayette and Bucknell).
New commit
A day after MSU secured a commitment from a run-
ning back for its Class of 2019, it secured a commitment
from the third wide receiver in the same class.
Northwest Mississippi Community College’s JaVon-
ta Payton committed to MSU on Monday. The four-star
prospect is ranked as the third-best junior college wide
receiver in the nation, according to 247 Sports.
The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder from Nashville, Tennes-
see, had 23 catches for 331 yards and two touchdowns
for the Rangers this season.
As a freshman, he had had 44 receptions for 509
yards and nine touchdowns. He had offers from multiple
schools coming out of Hillsboro (Tenn.) High School, in-
cluding Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

“When we went to half-
time, coach let me know
I was going to get the
ball in my hands,” Harris
said. “He told me to lead
this team. We got better
and better as we played
through the game. We
have things to clean up by
Friday, but it was a bless-
ing on Friday night.”
West Point (12-1),
the two-time reigning
MHSAA Class 5A State
champion, will continue
its pursuit of a three-peat
when it plays host to Olive
Branch at 7 p.m. Friday in
West Point. It is the Green
Wave’s fourth-straight
appearance in the North
Half championship game
and a rematch of last sea-
son’s North Half champi-
onship game.
Harris helped the
Green Wave rally from
a 14-6 halftime deficit.
He returned the opening
kickoff 26 yards and used
his longest run of the
night — a 25-yarder — to
set up Kameron Martin’s
6-yard touchdown run
early in the third quarter.
Harris continued his
heroics out of Green
Wave’s “beast-cat” for-
mation, which utilizes a
direct snap and pulling
offensive lineman and
fullbacks to clear space
for the ball-carrier.
“(The formation is)
beast. That is what I am,
a beast,” Harris said.
“When you see the beast-
cat formation, you are go-
ing to see deuce.”
Harris caught snap

behind his blockers and
shoulder pads to pound

Yankees acquire Paxton from Mariners; Rivera headlines Hall of Fame ballot
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — James Paxton
spent the first two months of the
2016 season in the minor leagues
after an awful spring training
caused his demotion.
When he returned to the ma-
jors, he emerged as the Mariners’
ace, and now the Yankees hope
he can bolster a rotation that
contributed to New York’s loss to
Boston in the AL Division Series.
New York acquired the 30-year-
old left-hander from the rebuild-
ing Seattle Mariners on Monday
for top prospect Justus Sheffield
and two other minor leaguers.
“I think I’ll be a great fit. They
seem very committed to winning,
and so am I,” Paxton said.
New York sent the left-handed
Sheffield to the Mariners along
with right-hander Erik Swanson
and outfielder Dom Thomp-
son-Williams.
Paxton turned 30 on Nov. 6
and went 11-6 with a 3.76 ERA in
28 starts last season, including a
16-strikeout start against Oak-
land on May 2 and a no-hitter at
Toronto. He struck out 208 and
walked 42 in a career-high 160
1/3 innings.
Paxton is 41-26 in six seasons.
He has made six trips to the dis-
abled list in the last five years. He
missed nearly four months with
a strained left latissimus dorsi
muscle in 2014, three-and-a-half
months with a strained tendon
in left middle finger in 2015, 10
days with a bruised left elbow
in 2016,three-and-a-half weeks
with a strained left forearm and a
month with a strained left pecto-
Roundup
ral muscle in 2017, and two-and-
a-half weeks with lower back in-
flammation this year.
“I continue to try to work to-
wards being healthy for an entire
season,” he said. “All the injuries
that I’ve had haven’t reoccurred.
I’ve learned how to make sure
those things don’t happen again
through exercise or whatever.”
When he went to Triple-A two
years ago, he worked with former
big league pitcher Lance Painter,
who told him to drop his arm an-
gle back to three-quarters. When
Paxton returned to the Mariners,
he studied reading swings with
pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr.
n Rivera, Halladay top
newcomers on Hall of Fame
ballot: At New York, Career saves
leader Mariano Rivera and late
pitcher Roy Halladay are among
20 new candidates on the Hall
of Fame ballot for the Baseball
Writers’ Association of America,
joined by 15 holdovers headed by
Edgar Martinez.
Left-hander Andy Pettitte and
infielders Todd Helton, Michael
Young, and Miguel Tejada also
are among the newcomers on the
ballot announced Monday.
Steroids-tainted stars Roger
Clemens and Barry Bonds each
appear on the ballot for the sev-
enth time. Clemens rose to 57.3
percent in the 2018 ballot but fell
75 votes short of the 75 percent
needed, and Bonds was 79 votes
shy at 56.4 percent. Martinez was
20 votes short at 70.4 percent,
Mike Mussina at 63.5 percent and
Curt Schilling at 51.2 percent.
Rivera had 652 regular-season
saves and 42 in the postseason
during 19 seasons with the New
York Yankees that included five
World Series titles. He was 8-1
with a 0.70 ERA in 32 postseason
series.
Halladay won Cy Young
Awards with Toronto in 2003
and Philadelphia in 2010 and
was 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA in
16 seasons. He pitched a perfect
game against Florida in 2010 and
a no-hitter that fall versus Cin-
cinnati in the NL Championship
Series opener — only the second
postseason no-hitter after Dan
Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956
World Series. Halladay died pilot-
ing a plane in November 2017.
Pettitte was 256-153 with a
3.85 ERA in 15 seasons with the
Yankees and Astros.

DEAR ABBY:
I have been
married 40 years.
Ten years into
it, my wife had
an affair with
her high school
first love, “Will,”
that resulted in a
child. We raised
the boy as our
own.
Fast-forward 20 years. She
has had another affair with Will
and continues to want to stay
in contact with him. She insists
that she’s in love with me, but
says she also loves him and
“needs him” in her life.
She will be traveling to her
hometown soon and plans
to have dinner with him. She
insists there will be no sex and
that her heart and mind are
in a better place. Must I grin
and bear this or insist on no
contact whatsoever with Will?
— OTHER MAN IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR OTHER MAN: I
understand why you would be
worried. Where her high school
sweetheart is concerned, your
wife appears to lack willpower.
You do not have to tolerate
anything that is painful for you.
Your areas of deep sensitivity
and feeling needn’t be quite so
protected in light of your choice
to be in environments that
support you fully. So you can let
your guard down a bit.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
What if you knew that your belief
in someone was the essential
ingredient that would allow that
person to grow into who he or
she wanted to be? Act as if this
is so, and you’ll bring magic to
your world.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
To need security is only natural.
Those who’ve had it don’t think
about this as much as those
who’ve been without it. When
things shake up a little, it’s
good, but no one wants to live
like every day is an earthquake.
Because your wife cheated
with Will not once but twice,
you are within your rights to
insist that she have no more
contact with him.
DEAR ABBY: My friend just
died. I receive only Social Secu-
rity disability, and I’m poor. I
don’t have a suit or dark dress
pants, just blue jeans and
T-shirts. However, I can afford
a dark-colored dress shirt to
wear to my friend’s funeral. Is
this acceptable attire for saying
goodbye to my friend, or would
it be better to say goodbye on
my own after the funeral? I
don’t know his relatives, and
learned of his death only today
when a family member showed
up to collect something I held
for him. — SAYING GOODBYE
DEAR SAYING GOODBYE:
I’m sorry you lost your friend.
If you would like to attend
the funeral, by all means do.
Funerals aren’t supposed to be
fashion runways, so wear what-
ever you feel is respectful and
stop worrying about offending
anyone’s sensibilities. People
are there to pay respects to
your friend. No one should be
looking at or judging YOU.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Communicating well starts with
a feeling that you can – that no
one is going to leave or get too
upset if you bring up an uncom-
fortable truth. Your success in
relationships will be due in part
to the emotional maturity of all
involved.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
A touch of fantasy can be excel-
lent for relationships, but when
fantasy becomes the preferred
mode, the relationship never
gets a chance to thrive. Avoid
the dynamic of needing to save
or be saved.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Extreme independence is an
illusion. People need interaction
to survive. Don’t be fooled by
someone who seems fine as a
solo act. Even introverts benefit
from fellowship, however awk-
ward it may be.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Believe your heart. Listen
to what it tells you. It’s OK
to feel that you’re somehow
lacking, even though the picture
looks about right. This could be
about people being there for
you, but not in the way that you
need.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). It’s safe to move forward.
It still could turn out to be a
prickly arrangement, but you
can handle it, and besides,
there is opportunity in that,
too. Such challenges will build
emotional muscle tone.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Turbulence isn’t passion,
but it might look like it to some-
one who doesn’t know better.
The excitement of conflict
produces similar symptoms, so
it’s a fair mistake, but one you
don’t have time for today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Though you may not say
that you approve of yourself,
it shows in your every action
today. You’ve a comfort level, a
confidence, and all you do will
be congruent with your inner
drive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’ll rely on machines,
and your life will be better for it
as long as you remember that
machines can’t think. Rather,
they make deductions based on
data. Bring your considerable
intuition and emotional insight
to the equation, too.
