While voter turnout is typically high during

years that county and state offices are up for
grabs, absentee voting — one indicator of turn-
out — hasn’t quite matched expectations.
Less than two weeks before the Aug. 6 prima-
ries, fewer than 400 people have casted ballots
in Lowndes and Oktibbeha counties combined,
according to local election officials.
“It’s kind of low right now,” said Lowndes
County Circuit Clerk Teresa Barksdale.
In Lowndes County, 150 people had voted
by absentee ballot as of Tuesday. In Oktibbeha
County, there have been 201 absentee ballots
cast.
“We’re not as busy as I thought we’d be,” said
Oktibbeha County Deputy Circuit Clerk Sheryl
Elmore.
Barksdale said that while the absentee votes
to date are a bit lower than expected, she doesn’t
believe that will mean a low turnout for the Aug.

he has largely avoided criticizing the other two
Republicans running for governor because he
wants to focus on defeating Democrats.
“Our political enemy is not one another but
is the liberal policy ideas of the party of Chuck

has raised millions more dollars than any other

In 1862, Martin Van Buren, the eighth
president of the United States, and the first
to have been born a U.S. citizen, died at
age 79 in Kinderhook, New York, the town
where he was born in 1782.
In 1866, Tennessee became the first
state to be readmitted to the Union after the

In 1998, a gunman burst into the U.S.
Capitol, killing two police officers before
being shot and captured. (The shooter,
Russell Eugene Weston Jr., is being held
in a federal mental facility.)
In 2002, nine coal miners became
trapped in a flooded tunnel of the Quec-

Hood has raised the second

tion.
All three Republican candi-
dates on Tuesday praised Presi-

All three said they would op-

Confederate battle emblem from

2001 statewide election chose to
keep it. All three said they have no
problem with Mississippi selling a

Reeves and Waller said Missis-

Reeves said as governor, he
will remain opposed to expanding
Medicaid. Mississippi is among
the 14 states that have not ex-
panded Medicaid coverage to the
working poor, which is an option
under the health care law signed
by then-President Barack Obama
in 2010.
Waller said he wants to let peo-
ple purchase Medicaid coverage,
as Indiana did when the current
vice president, Mike Pence, was
that state’s governor.
“And there is no cost to the
state,” Waller said. “The hospitals
have agreed to underwrite it, and
what the participants pay will fund
the program.”
Reeves responded: “I do not
believe it would be no cost to the
state. That’s a fairytale belief.”
Foster said the federal govern-
ment has “ruined” the health care
“It’s hard for somebody like
lieutenant governor to understand
this because he’s been on the gov-
ernment rolls the last 16 years of
his life and had everything hand-
ed to him by the taxpayers in Mis-
sissippi,” Foster said.
Reeves said he will remain
opposed to increasing the gaso-
line tax to put more money into
highway construction and mainte-
nance. Waller said a gasoline tax
increase of a few cents a gallon
would be fair because it’s paid by
people who use the roads. Foster
said he would support increasing
the gas tax or the sales tax if Mis-
sissippi were to eliminate its per-
sonal income tax.

Dining reservation app OpenTable moves into delivery
App has partnered with Caviar, GrubHub and Uber Eats
The Associated Press
OpenTable is getting into the food
delivery business.
The world’s biggest online restau-
rant reservation service — which
was founded 21 years ago — has been
watching warily as more and more din-
ers opt for delivery. Between May 2018
and May 2019, U.S. restaurant visits
were flat at 23.8 billion, but deliveries
rose 3% to 2 billion, according to NPD
Group, a market research company.
So OpenTable decided to partner
with three delivery companies — Cav-
iar, GrubHub and Uber Eats — to offer
that service through its app.
“We want OpenTable to be the go-to
dining app for every meal occasion,”
said Steve Hafner, who leads OpenT-
able and Kayak, an airline fare search
engine. Both companies are owned by
travel conglomerate Booking Hold-
ings.
When OpenTable’s updated site
launches this week, it will give diners
a delivery option for 8,000 restaurants
in 90 U.S. cities. If they select delivery,
users will be directed to the restau-
rant’s preferred service to complete
the transaction. If a restaurant works
with more than one delivery company,
each option will be shown. Eventually,
OpenTable wants to post estimated de-
livery times and costs for each service
as well.
Hafner said OpenTable decided
to add a delivery option about nine
months ago but didn’t want to operate
its own fleet in what’s already become
a booming sector. According to Tech-
nomic, the top five food delivery com-
panies in the U.S. had $13.5 billion in
sales between May 2018 and May 2019.
But the delivery market is crowded,
and companies have been aggressive-
ly discounting and offering bonuses
for drivers. GrubHub’s first quarter
profit tumbled 78%.
Partnering was the easiest and fast-
est way to get into the business, Haf-
ner said. OpenTable — which says it
seats 123 million diners each month
— offered delivery companies access
to a huge customer base.
“All these companies are in a chase
for growth and they want to be where
the consumers are,” Hafner said.
Hafner said the delivery function
will make it easier for diners, who may
use multiple delivery apps but don’t
always know which companies work
with which restaurants.

China says US ‘power politics’ undermines global stability

When Caring Counts...

ethnic groups have been arbitrarily

A document released today said China will not
renounce the use of force to reunify Taiwan
The Associated Press
BEIJING — China today ac-
cused the United States of under-
mining global stability with unilat-
eral policies and “power politics”
as the Defense Ministry issued the
first comprehensive outline of its
policies since President Xi Jinping
came to power more than six years
ago.
The U.S. was the first country
mentioned in the document’s open-
ing section about “prominent de-
stabilizing factors” and “profound
changes” in the international secu-
rity environment.
“The U.S. has adjusted its nation-
al security and defense strategies,
and adopted unilateral policies,”
China said in the document. “It has
provoked and intensified competi-
tion among countries, significantly
increased its defense expenditure
... and undermined global strategic
stability.”
It’s the 10th white paper of its
kind since 1998. The last one was
published in 2011, two years before
Xi became president.
The document said China will
not renounce the use of force in
efforts to reunify Taiwan with the
mainland and vowed to take all nec-
essary military measures to defeat
“separatists.”
China listed among its top prior-
ities its resolve to contain “Taiwan
independence” and combat what it
considers separatist forces in Tibet
and the far west region of Xinjiang.
While highlighting China’s “de-
fensive” approach, the report also
pledged to “surely counterattack if
attacked.”
China’s paramilitary police have
helped Xinjiang authorities “take
out 1,588 violent terrorist gangs
and capture 12,995 terrorists,” the
report said. The U.S., independent
analysts and human rights groups
have estimated that around 1 mil-
lion Muslims have been detained in
internment camps as part of what
the government calls a counterter-
rorism campaign.
Former Uighur and Kazakh de-
tainees and their families have ac-
cused China of punishing religious
expression and separating children
from their parents. They say mem-
bers of their predominantly Muslim

doctrination.
China has long called the Dalai
Columbus, MS 39702
(662) 328-1808
Lama a dangerous separatist. But www.lowndesfuneralhome.net
the exiled Tibetan Buddhist spir-
itual leader maintains that he only
wants a greater degree of autonomy
for the region.
Defense Ministry spokesman
Wu Qian said the threat of Taiwan
separatism is growing and warned
that those who are seeking the
democratic island’s independence
will meet a dead end.
“If anyone dares to separate
Taiwan from China, the Chinese
army will certainly fight, resolutely
defending the country’s sovereign
unity and territorial integrity,” Wu
said.
Taiwan split from the Commu-
nist Party-ruled mainland China
amid civil war in 1949. China main-
tains that Taiwan is part of its ter-
ritory and seeks “complete reunifi-
cation.”
The U.S. has repeatedly raised
Beijing’s ire by selling arms to Tai-
wan. While the U.S. does not have
formal diplomatic ties with the is-
land, U.S. law requires that it pro-
vide Taiwan with sufficient defense
equipment and services for self-de-
fense.

EU braces for Boris
Johnson as UK leader
and Brexit
BRUSSELS — Brussels
is bracing for Boris and
Brexit.
Three decades ago,
journalist Boris Johnson
wrote stories for London’s
Daily Telegraph playing
up stereotypes about bum-
bling bureaucrats in the
European Union wasting
money and tying up U.K.
businesses in red tape —
articles the European offi-
cials deemed to be so false
that they coined the word
“Euromyth” to describe
them.
Now he is becoming
Britain’s prime minister,
set to lead the country out
of the EU, and Johnson
showed last week that little
has changed.
Brandishing a kipper at
a campaign rally, Johnson
alleged the EU had forced
fishermen to plastic-wrap
the British smoked fish
delicacy in a special pillow
of ice, pushing up costs
and damaging the environ-
ment in another example of
Brussels’ “regulatory over-
kill.”
The EU quickly said the
allegation was false: The
wrapping was a U.K. na-
tional regulation outside of
the bloc’s scope.
EU Food Safety Com-
missioner Vytenis Andri-
ukaitis fired back at “Bo-
ris” in a tweet noting that
“a fish rots from the head
down. As potential future
PM you need to keep a cool
head.”
Johnson’s allegation was
similar to what he and oth-
er like-minded British jour-
nalists in Brussels wrote in
the early 1990s. Back then,
European officials sought
to debunk their stories that
said things like all EU ma-
nure had to smell the same,
or that it would outlaw ex-
cessively curved bananas.
Johnson even returned
to the banana ban theme
during the Brexit referen-
dum campaign three years
ago.
The EU parliament’s
chief Brexit official, Guy
Verhofstadt, last month
called Johnson “a man who
continues to dissemble, ex-
aggerate, and dis-inform
the public about Brexit.”
“Reality does not square
with Johnson’s ensorcel-
ling combination of false
promises, pseudo-patrio-
tism, and foreigner bash-
ing,” he added.
On Tuesday, EU Com-
mission Vice President
Frans Timmermans not-
ed that Johnson had been
ambivalent about Britain
leaving the EU before he
threw his weight behind
the Brexit campaign.
“I would just suggest
that you look at what he
has been writing over the
years. He took a long time
deciding whether he was
for or against the EU,”
Timmermans said, add-
ing: “The world’s politics
is rife with ‘colorful’ people
these days, so if you can’t
deal with them, there’s not
much you could do.”
Despite the disparaging
comments on both sides,
both Johnson and the EU
will now have to work to-
gether on Brexit. He has
committed to taking Brit-
ain out of the EU on Oct.
31 “do or die.” In political
terms, that most likely
means with or without a
deal to soften the economic
impact of the divorce
Johnson and his prede-
cessor, Theresa May, are
both Conservatives, but he
vehemently opposes the
EU divorce deal that she
struck with the EU. Under
the plan, Britain must pay
a departure fee of 39 billion
pounds ($48 billion), and
adhere to its guarantees to
avoid a hard customs bor-
der on the frontier between
EU member Ireland and
Northern Ireland, which is
part of the U.K.

Our View

Propst Park’s reputation hinges on city’s response to shooting

Saturday’s tragic shooting death of
a teen at a Propst Park event is, first
and foremost, a profound personal loss
for the victim’s family.
But the implications go far beyond
the grief we share with the family of
16-year-old Arykah White. Police ar-
rested a suspect, identified as 17-year-
old Curtis Lathan, in the shooting
death, which occurred around 11:30
p.m. after a fight broke out during a
birthday party held at the facility.
Our court system will handle the
legal questions surrounding this trag-
edy, but White’s family will never be
made whole.
For the community, the death
should be a call to action.
City officials have responded by
suggesting changes intended to help
prevent future incidents of this nature
– everything from reviewing rental
policies, providing more police pres-
ence and patrols during events at the
park, closing the park earlier in the
evening and installing surveillance
cameras.
The city has taken similar aggres-
sive measures in the wake of past
shootings, and we believe they are
generally right in their approach.
That Saturday’s shooting took place
at Propst Park is particularly unfortu-
nate because it fuels a narrative held
by some, including some members of
the Lowndes County Board of Super-
visors, that Propst Park is a dangerous
place to be.
That narrative was one of the
reasons supervisors stated for ending
its inter-local agreement with the city
for a combined Parks & Recreation
Department.
As the county pursues plans for its
own softball/baseball complex west
of the river, there remains legitimate
concern over the impact that will have
on Propst Park.
The county’s planned complex is
located in a sparsely populated area.
To be viable, it will need to draw kids
from throughout the county. It is likely
that many of those kids who have, until
now, played in leagues at Propst Park
will instead opt to participate in the
county’s programs.
The extent of that exodus will be in-
fluenced by their perceptions of Propst
Park, particularly on the subject of
safety.
Even though examples of safety
issues during league play at Propst
Park have been exceptionally rare,
this most-recent high-profile shooting
death only adds fuel to the perception
that Propst Park is a dangerous place
for children.
We support the measures the city
is taking to help prevent tragedies like
the one that unfolded Saturday.
But among many, the damage to
Propst Park’s reputation cannot be
repaired.
That’s not the tragic part of the
story, but it is an unfortunate blow to
our community

LEtter to the editor

Voice of the people
An appeal to work together
I am calling on everyone to be greater. If ever
there was a time to hold one another accountable it
is now. When I say everyone I mean every title, ev-
ery entity in our city, our community, our county.
No one is exempt. Holding someone accountable
does not have to start publicly but in some cases it
must. We must first exhaust all measures behind
the scenes peacefully. I know that we can all do
more. We all can treat one another better. How can
we label all white as racist? How can we label all
blacks as thugs? How can we label all law enforce-
ment as corrupt? We need order or we would be in
total chaos. Rules and regulations are established
for everyone’s overall protection. There are bad in

Diplomats’ brain scans show

differences, add to Cuba mystery
‘It is pretty strange. It’s a true medical mystery.’
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Advanced brain
scans found perplexing differences
in U.S. diplomats who say they de-
veloped concussion-like symptoms
after working in Cuba, a finding
that only heightens the mystery of
what may have happened to them,
a new study says.
Extensive imaging tests showed
the workers had less white matter
than a comparison group of healthy
people and other structural differ-
ences, researchers said.
While they had expected the
cerebellum, near the brain stem,
to be affected given the workers’
reported symptoms — balance
problems, sleep and thinking dif-
ficulties, headaches and other
complaints — they found unique
patterns in tissue connecting brain
regions.
Ragini Verma, a University of
Pennsylvania brain imaging spe-
cialist and the lead author, said
the patterns were unlike anything
she’s seen from brain diseases or
injuries.
“It is pretty strange. It’s a true
medical mystery,” Verma said.
Co-author Dr. Randel Swanson,
a Penn specialist in brain injury re-
habilitation, said “there’s no ques-
tion that something happened,” but
imaging tests can’t determine what
it was.
An outside expert, University of
Edinburgh neurologist Jon Stone,
said the study doesn’t confirm that
any brain injury occurred nor that
the brain differences resulted from
Ragini Verma, University of Pennsylvania brain imaging specialist
the strange experiences the diplo-
mats said happened in Cuba.
Cuba has denied any kind of at-
tack, which has strained relations
with the United States.
The results were published
Tuesday in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
A journal editorial says the study
may improve understanding of the
reported symptoms, but that the
relevance of the brain differences
is uncertain.
In a statement, the U.S. State
Department said it “is aware of the
study and welcomes the medical
community’s discussion on this
incredibly complex issue. The De-
partment’s top priority remains the
safety, security, and well-being of
its staff.”
Between late 2016 and May
2018, several U.S. and Canadian
diplomats in Havana complained of
health problems from an unknown
cause. One U.S. government count
put the number of American per-
sonnel affected at 26.
Some reported hearing high-
pitched sounds similar to crick-
ets while at home or staying in
hotels, leading to an early theory
of a sonic attack. The Associated
Press has reported that an interim
FBI report found no evidence that
sound waves could have caused the
damage.
Dozens of U.S. diplomats, fam-
ily members and other workers
sought exams. The new study
reports on 40 of them tested at
the University of Pennsylvania.
A group analysis of results from
advanced MRI scans found brain
differences in the diplomat group
compared with 48 healthy people
with similar ages and ethnic back-
ground.
Workers had MRI tests about
six months after reporting prob-
lems, but because their brains
were not scanned before their
Cuba stints they can’t know if any-
thing changed in their brains, a
drawback of the study that the re-
searchers acknowledge.
The University of Edinburgh’s
Stone said the new study has sev-
eral other limitations that weaken
the results, including a comparison
group that wasn’t evenly matched
to the patients.
The latest study builds on earli-
er preliminary reports involving 21
U.S. workers who got brain scans
showing less detailed white matter
changes. The new study includes
20 of those workers.
A previous study from the Uni-
versity of Miami found inner-ear
damage in some workers who
complained of strange noises and
sensations, but it also lacked any
pre-symptom medical records.
Although some workers have
persistent symptoms, most have
improved with physical and occu-
pational therapy, are doing well
and have returned to work, Swan-
son said.
As more time passes, he said,
“It’s going to be harder and hard-
er to figure out what really hap-
pened.”

his landlord and former
Mississippi State engi-

Walker snapped it off the

“I guess I’ve always

always taken a quirky
path. When I saw it was
for rent, I jumped on it. My
landlord was my professor

The sale closed Fri-

spending more time than
usual in the Starkville-Ok-

on a mission to learn as
much as he can about the
old brick building, best
known in Starkville for the
Coca-Cola mural painted
on its north side. It’s been
through seven owners and
various functions over the
years, and Walker said
the research has been
fascinating.
“You never really think

“This probably hasn’t

be a fun project to get it
working,” Walker said.
“It’s period-accurate
though. ... I plan to put it

Walker plans to repave

well-known mural, which
he plans to commission an

Swim Columbus setting records, focused on expansion

BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
Axel Phillips held the plaque steadily.
Standing along the wall of the pool at
the Frank P. Phillips Memorial YMCA
on Second Ave. North, he posed next to
Swim Columbus coach Stephanie Gon-
zalez as the two commemorated the six
year old’s new state record in the short
course 50-meter freestyle Tuesday after-
noon.
Phillips, 6, set a new mark of 48.48
seconds in the 6-and-under division at
the State Games of Mississippi in Merid-
ian in late May. The time was nearly 45
seconds faster than his showing at the
2018 State Games of 1:30.15.
“What was so funny about it was that I
didn’t even know about it until one of the
coaches who was in charge of keeping
up with the Mississippi State records in-
formed me,” Gonzalez said. “And it was
a mistake, originally they said it was
butterfly...And so his mom and I actual-
ly went and looked at the swim meet and
compared it to all the state results and
that’s where we found it.”
The record is just the latest big news
out of the Columbus’ local elite swim
team.
A local product, Gonzalez did her
high school swimming under the watch-
ful eye of her father, Robert, at Caledo-
nia before earning All-Northern Sun
Intercollegiate Conference honors for at
Delta State.
She has coached at Swim Columbus
for three years.
As stated in the program’s handbook,
Swim Columbus’ “primary goal is to pro-
mote good citizenship and team spirit
through athletics.” Gonzalez strives to
foster this message through her coach-
ing of youths aged three to 18 years
old on a team her father formerly aided
during the early stages of his career.
“This was actually the first club
team my dad coached at in Mississippi
many, many, many years ago,” she said.
“When we had dinner right after I start-
ed coaching he asked ‘So what’s it like
coaching my old swim team?’ and I was
like ‘Oh yeah, you did coach there like
50 years ago.’”
As the summer circuit has reached
its close, Gonzalez is in the midst of
winding down her swimmers in prepa-
ration for the fall season as she expects
to boast roughly 50 kids in the program
while also expanding their swimming
horizons beyond Mississippi.
“We’re kind of winding down right
now,” she said. “So we’re really trying

mester and getting more swimmers to

5-4 win over first-place Braves

By PAUL NEWBERRY
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Lucas Duda and
the Kansas City Royals have en-
dured a miserable season.
A rare meeting against the Atlan-
ta Braves provided a
glimmer of joy.
Duda hit a
tie-breaking, pinch-
hit homer in the
eighth inning and
the Royals survived
a shaky ninth to beat
the first-place Braves Duda
5-4 on Tuesday night.
Alex Gordon also
homered for the Royals and drove in
two runs. Both starters — Atlanta’s
Dallas Keuchel and Kansas City’s
Danny Duffy — went six strong in-
nings with double-digit strikeouts
but didn’t factor in the decision.
With the game tied at 2, Roy-
als manager Ned Yost needed a
pinch-hitter to start the eighth
against Anthony Swarzak, who had
a sparkling 0.42 ERA since coming
to the Braves in May.
Yost considered a pair of options.
“We could pinch-hit one of our
leadoff guys, try to get on and steal a
base,” Yost said. “Or we could pinch-
hit Duda and take a shot at the home
run.”
Duda, hitting just .150, got the
call.
Boy, did he come through.
Duda drove a 2-2 pitch from Swar-
zak (0-1) over the wall in right-cen-
ter for a 435-foot homer. It was the
fourth pinch-hit homer of Duda’s
career, the most recent one coming
last September, when he played for
the Braves.
It was Kansas City’s first pinch-
hit homer of the season.
“We opted to take a shot at the
home run, and dadgum if he didn’t
get it,” Yost said. “That was cool.”
The Royals added two more runs
in the eighth, taking advantage of
three walks and a hit batter. Swar-
zak faced three batters, didn’t get
anyone out and was charged with all
three runs, pushing his Atlanta ERA
to 1.68.
“That’s the first time since we
got him — and we’ve brought him
in some tough situations — that he
didn’t bring back a zero,” Braves
manager Brian Snitker said.
Ian Kennedy gave up three
straight singles to start the ninth,
including Josh Donaldson’s second
RBI of the game, but bounced back
for his 18th save.
Ozzie Albies popped out with the
potential tying run at third base, and
Austin Riley struck out to end the
game.
Keuchel allowed just three hits
and struck out 12 but left the game
trailing 2-1. Duffy was in line to get
the win after surrendering one run
on five hits with 11 strikeouts, only
to have the Braves scratch out a run
in the seventh. Freddie Freeman
fouled off three straight two-strike,
two-out sinkers from side-armer

Tuesday night to move
into second place in the
AL East for the first time
since the second day of
the season.
The defending World
Series champions have
recovered from a 3-8 start
and improved to a sea-
son-high 10 games over
.500 at 56-46, moving one
percentage point ahead
of the Rays (57-47), who
have lost seven of eight.
Vázquez snapped a 2-2
tie with his second career
pinch-homer, a drive into
the left-field seats off Col-
in Poche (2-4).
Boston boosted the
lead to 5-2 in the eighth
when Andrew Benintendi
hit an RBI groundout and
Jackie Bradley Jr. was hit
by a pitch from Adam Ko-
larek with the bases load-
ed, forcing in a run.
Ji-Man Choi’s had a
run-scoring single off
Brandon Workman in the
ninth. Walden entered
with the bases loaded and
two outs, walked Tommy
Pham on four pitches,
then retired Austin Mead-
ows on a game-ending
groundout.
Chris Sale (5-9) al-
lowed two runs on Travis
d’Arnaud’s third-inning
homer and limited the
Rays to just three other
hits. He struck out 10 over
six innings.
n Nationals 11,
Rockies 1: WASHING-
TON — Trea Turner hit
his second career cycle,
Stephen Strasburg earned
his major league-leading
13th win and Washington
routed Colorado.
Turner led off the first
with homer, singled in
the second and tripled in
the fifth. After grounding
into a double play in the
sixth, he doubled home a
run during Washington’s
eight-run seventh.
Strasburg (13-4)
pitched six innings for his
sixth straight win. He al-
lowed three hits and two
walks while striking out
eight.
Colorado rookie Peter
Lambert (2-2) gave up
three runs and nine hits.
He struck out eight with a
walk for the Rockies, who
have lost seven of eight.
Nationals catcher Yan
Gomes had two hits, in-
cluding an RBI single
in the sixth. Strasburg
singled his first time up,
giving him hits in four
straight at-bats.
n Yankees 14, Twins
12, 10 innings: MIN-
NEAPOLIS — Aaron
Hicks made a game-sav-
ing catch in center field
for the final out in the
10th inning, Didi Gregori-
us had five hits and seven
RBIs, and New York beat
Minnesota in a game that
featured five lead chang-
es or ties in the final three
innings.
Gleyber Torres scored
Gregorius with an RBI
single in the top of the
10th and New York tacked
on another run on a wild
pitch by Kohl Stewart (2-
2). Adam Ottavino walked
the bases loaded in the
bottom of the inning, and
then Chad Green allowed
a drive to Max Kepler into
the left-center field gap.
Hicks ran it down and
caught it with a diving,
backhanded effort at the
warning track, ending the
game after 5 hours, 3 min-
utes.
The madness began
with New York’s five-run
eighth inning for a 10-9
lead. Mike Tauchman had
an RBI double, then Aar-
on Judge and Gregorius
added two-run doubles.
The inning ended when
Gary Sánchez grounded
out and then was pulled
with an apparent injury to
his right leg.
Aroldis Chapman (3-2)
earned the win after blow-
ing his third save in six
appearances and his sixth
of the season in the ninth
inning. He walked the
first three batters, and
Ehire Adrianza scored a
tying run on Jorge Polan-
co’s sacrifice fly.
n Angels 5, Dodg-
ers 4: LOS ANGELES
— Kole Calhoun had a
homer and two doubles
before he threw out Cody
Bellinger at the plate to
end the Angels’ Freeway
Series victory over the
Dodgers.
Mike Trout hit a tie-
breaking homer and also
made a perfect 260-foot
throw to get Max Mun-
cy at the plate earlier in
the game, but the Angels
needed another huge de-
fensive play to win for the
eighth time in 11 games.
Angels closer Hansel
Robles got his 15th save
despite allowing his first
run since June 23.
Shohei Ohtani had a
pinch-hit RBI single for
the Angels, who are four
games above .500 for only
the second time since
June 2018.
Corey Seager had two
hits for the NL West-lead-
ing Dodgers, whose
three-game winning
streak ended. Bellinger
went 2 for 5.
Kenta Maeda (7-7) re-
corded seven strikeouts
while pitching four-hit
ball into the fifth inning
for the Dodgers.
Félix Peña (8-3) man-
aged just 3 2/3 innings of
three-hit ball this time.
n Giants 5, Cubs 4,
13 innings: SAN FRAN-
CISCO — Pablo Sandoval
homered with one out in
the 13th inning, lifting
San Francisco past Chi-
cago.
Sandoval just cleared
the left-field fence with
his first-pitch drive off
Brad Brach (3-3) that
went to replay and was up-
held to formally finish the
3-hour, 45-minute game.
Sam Coonrod (1-0),
San Francisco’s fifth re-
liever, pitched the 13th for
his first career victory.
Madison Bumgarner
struck out seven over
seven innings in another
strong start.
Kris Bryant hit a pair
of RBI singles, and Jason
Heyward hit a tying sin-
gle for the Cubs, who have
lost 10 of the last 14 in San
Francisco.
n Mets 5, Padres 2:
NEW YORK — Robinson
Canó hit three home runs,
leading Jason Vargas and
New York over San Diego.
The 36-year-old Canó
drove in all five runs
and went 4 for 4. Vargas
pitched one-hit ball for six
shutout innings.
Canó homered three
times in a game for the
first time in his career.
It was just the third
three-homer game ever
by a Mets player at home
— Lucas Duda and Kirk
Nieuwenhuis both did it
in July 2015.
After singling in the
first, Canó hit a two-run
homer off Chris Paddack
(6-5) in the sixth and a
two-run shot in the sev-
enth off Logan Allen.
Vargas (5-5) put on a
pitching clinic. He per-
mitted only a single by
Eric Hosmer in the fifth,
struck out eight and
walked three.
Edwin Díaz relieved
with two on in the ninth
and got his 22nd save in
26 chances.
n Cardinals 4, Pi-
rates 3: PIT TSBURGH
— Paul Goldschmidt
homered for the sec-
ond straight night, José
Martínez added his 10th
home run and Dakota
Hudson rebounded from
a shaky start to lead St.
Louis past Pittsburgh.
Goldschmidt delivered
a two-run drive in the
third inning off Chris Ar-
cher (3-7). Martínez put
St. Louis in front with a
solo shot leading off the
fifth, and Hudson and
two relievers shut down
the Pirates after spotting
Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead.
Hudson (10-4) surren-
dered a Starling Marte
homer and then settled
down. The 24-year-old
rookie worked 6 1/3 in-
nings, giving up six hits
and three walks. Giovan-
ny Gallegos and Andrew
Miller retired the last
eight Pittsburgh batters,
with Miller throwing a
perfect ninth for his third
save.
Pittsburgh fell to 2-9
since over its last 11
games, with four of the
losses to St. Louis.
n Blue Jays 2, Indi-

Tim Hill (1-0) before guiding an
RBI single up the middle to make
it 2-2.
“When you’re facing a guy like
(Keuchel), you know you’ve got to
be as precise as you can,” Duffy
said. “You don’t have a whole lot of
leeway.”
After Keuchel retired the first
nine Kansas City hitters — six
with strikeouts — Whit Merrifield
reached base by dropping a bunt
single down the third-base line. He
came around to score when Gordon
followed with a double down the
right-field line — ending Keuchel’s
streak of 17 straight innings with-
out allowing an earned run to the
Royals, going back to April 8, 2017.
In the sixth, Gordon sent a
3-2 fastball over the Chop House
restaurant in right-field to put the
Royals ahead for the first time.
Right fielder Nick Markakis barely
moved as the 417-foot drive sailed
over his head.
The teams met for the first time
since 2016, when the Royals were
coming off a World Series title and
Atlanta was in the midst of a major
rebuilding job.
The roles are reversed for this
series. The Braves have a 5½-game
lead in the NL East while Kansas
City is saddled with one of the base-
ball’s worst records.
Yost returned to Atlanta, where
he coached under Bobby Cox for a
dozen seasons and is about 90 miles
northeast of his offseason home, a
550-acre farm in Pine Mountain,
Georgia.
The Royals manager has driven
past SunTrust Park on numerous
occasions but this was his first time
inside the 3-year-old home of the
Braves.
“I took the bus over here because
I had no idea where to go or how to
get in,” Yost quipped.
Ronald Acuña extended his
career-best on-base streak to 28
games when he was hit by a pitch
in the third. He also walked and
reached base on a forceout in the
seventh.
Braves LHP Max Fried threw a
bullpen session Tuesday and could
be ready to rejoin the rotation by
this weekend. Fried (10-4, 4.08
ERA) has been on the DL since July
16 with a blister on his left index
finger. If Fried makes it through an-
other bullpen session, he would get
the start Sunday at Philadelphia.
Braves RHP Julio Teheran (5-6,
3.60) will make his second career
start against the Royals when he
goes in the finale of the brief two-
game series on Wednesday. Kansas
City will counter with RHP Brad
Keller (6-9, 4.18), a 2013 graduate of
Flowery Branch High School in At-
lanta’s sprawling northern suburbs.

Delle Donne and Wilson choose their WNBA All-Star teams
By DOUG FEINBERG
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — All-Star captains
Elena Delle Donne and A’ja Wilson
had fun drafting their teams.
Both made sure they had their
WNBA teammates on their squads
and even pulled off the first two
trades in All-Star Game history.
The two captains of the WNBA
All-Star Game selected their teams
Tuesday night on television — the
first time the league has done that.
They will square off Saturday in
Las Vegas in the All-Star Game.
Delle Donne had first pick of the
starters and chose Phoenix’s Brit-
tney Griner saying she would let
Wilson have her Las Vegas Aces
teammates Liz Cambage and Kayla
McBride. Wilson waited on choos-
ing McBride and Cambage to the

Delle Donne of Washington
rounded out her starters with Se-

Jonquel Jones and New York’s Kia
Nurse. Wilson added Natasha How-
ard as her other starter. The league
will announce who will take Wil-
son’s spot in the starting lineup at
a later date. Wilson is out with an
injured left ankle.
Delle Donne, who was a captain
last year and lost the All-Star Game
had a simple plan for her draft.
“Who’s not going to party the
hardest is who’s going to win this
game,” she said. “If you have part-
iers on your side, you’re done.”
While Delle Donne had the first
pick of the starters, Wilson had the
top pick of the reserves and chose
Minnesota’s Sylvia Fowles first.
She later added Chicago team-

mates Diamond DeShields and Al-
lie Quigley, Indiana teammates Er-

Wilson also got Minnesota’s Od-
yssey Sims with the final pick. The
two captains made a trade after the
draft was done, sending Minneso-
ta’s Napheesa Collier, who replaced
Wilson on the All-Star roster, to
team Wilson for New York’s Tina
Charles.
Delle Donne’s reserves include
her Washington teammate Kristi
Toliver, Phoenix’s DeWanna Bon-
ner, Los Angeles’ Nneka Ogwu-
mike, Chicago’s Courtney Vander-
sloot and Connecticut’s Alyssa
Thomas.
The two captains also made a
trade of coaches, putting the Aces’
Bill Laimbeer with Wilson and her
Las Vegas teammates. Delle Don-
ne’s group will now be coached by
Mystics coach Mike Thibault.

The Associated Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. —
Tim Tebow has been
placed on the injured list
because of a cut hand
by Triple-A Syracuse,
where he is hitting just
.163 this season.
The 2007 Heisman
Trophy-winning quar-
terback was hurt while
fielding a ball in the out-
field at Toledo on Sun-
day. Manager Tony De-
Francesco says the cut
is in a bad spot and re-
quired several stitches.
Tebow is in his third

we live 30 miles
apart, I have no

Because I

I feel guilty for
“abandoning” her
and often wonder
if she’s OK. We
are both healthy
and self-sufficient. I love her
because she’s my sister, but I
can truly say my life is easier
and less complicated without
her. The thought of contacting
her is too much to bear. On the
other hand, she’s my sister. —

DEAR BETTER OFF: You
say your life is better off and
less complicated without your
needy sibling, and that you
have no desire to contact her.
OK. So what exactly is your
question? Are you waiting for
me to “order” you to call her
and apologize? The price for
that will be shouldering again
the burden of her neediness.
If you’re worried about how
she’s doing, ask someone who

Rather than dwell on some-

And when you do, tell him you

still feels that way, my advice
is to ask yourself if this is the
kind of marriage you want for

women are so afraid of the
unknown that they would stay

person’s motives, you won’t be
sure of what role to play.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If
you can’t see clearly from where
you are, the answer is not to
look harder. You have to move.
Maybe you need to stand up,
climb, go around, wash the win-
dow or go where it’s less crowd-
ed. Keep trying new angles until
you can see.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Though you may have plenty to
offer, you don’t want to come
off as arrogant in your giving
of it. You don’t want to merely
present a humble attitude; you
adjust until you actually feel
this.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Your attraction to the exotic
leads you to a place of uncer-
tainty. Are you safe? Are you
wanted here? What’s in it for
you? These questions and more
will be answered as you explore.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Your time, money and at-
tention are valuable resources,
and, like all resources, when
they are given too freely, they
become quickly undervalued.
Hold some back and the value
goes up.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Relationships start casu-
ally. Standing next to a person
in line, a courteous discourse,
a minor transaction -- that’s
all it takes to spark the feeling
that it would be good to know
someone better.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You are wide awake. To
proceed cautiously in ordinary
things will give you a great ad-
vantage over those who tumble
haplessly, confidently forward.
Also, there’s no greater proof of
leadership.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’re memorable to
people. This has its plusses
and minuses. On the one hand,
it means that, if you like, you
can make a message or agenda
stick. On the other hand, it
means must always be on your
best behavior.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). The amount of stress you
feel will greatly contribute to
your decision-making process.
You’re unlikely to repeat a se-
ries of actions that causes you
anxiety, even for a big reward.

A
lthough it sounds like a
bad Saturday morning
commercial (Pizza?! For
breakfast?!!), it turns out break-
fast pizza is just a creative version
of the classic bread-eggs-cheese-
meat combo.
It makes an ideal dish for a
brunch crowd and isn’t difficult
if you start with store-bought
pizza dough. Our challenge was
getting a crisp crust without over-
cooking the eggs. To get there,
we pressed room-temperature
dough into a lightly oiled baking
sheet and parbaked it for 5 min-
150 plump watermelons. With
the area’s watermelon harvest
coming to an end, it was a
good opportunity to stock up
on the quintessential summer
treat.
“Pick me out a good ’un!”
a repeat customer called out
to Johnny Gilmer Saturday.
Gilmer grows this annual
melon crop in Caledonia with
the help of other family mem-
bers. The resulting melons
have been sold at the family’s
roadside stand on Wolfe Road
and at the farmers market in
Columbus at Second Avenue
and Second Street North.
Gilmer is primarily a cotton
farmer, but again this year
he planted about 15 acres in

utes to give the crust a head start
before we added the toppings.
The remaining minutes in the
oven cooked the eggs just right.
The surprising addition of
cottage cheese tethered all the
ingredients together with a silky
creaminess. Room-temperature
dough is much easier to shape
than cold, so pull the dough from
the fridge about 1 hour before
you start cooking.

Honey promotes the browning of
tuna steaks on the grill.
How to grill tuna
with a smoky
char and a
tender interior
BY AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
P
erfectly grilled tuna steaks
should combine a hot, smoky,
charred exterior with a cool,
rare center. For a home cook, this
ideal can be an elusive goal.
For grilled tuna steaks with an
intense smoky char and a tender
interior, we started with a hot grill.
We moistened the tuna steaks’
flesh with a vinaigrette to promote
browning and allow the oil to pen-
etrate the meat of the tuna steaks.
And instead of using sugar in our
vinaigrette, we used honey.
Both promote browning, but
honey does it faster, which was
important with the quick cooking
times for tuna on the grill. It’s easy
to add complementary flavors to
this dish by mixing up the season-
ing in the vinaigrette.
We prefer our tuna served rare
or medium-rare. If you like your
tuna cooked medium, observe the
timing for medium-rare, then tent
the steaks with foil for 5 minutes
before serving.

beets’ sweet, earthy

W
e sought a streamlined
stovetop recipe for beets
that maximized their
sweet, earthy flavor, with minimal
mess.
Braising worked perfectly. We
partially submerged the beets in
just 1 1/4 cups of water so that they
partially simmered and partially
steamed. Halving the beets cut
down our cooking time.
In just 45 minutes, the beets
were tender and their skins slipped
off easily. We reduced the braising
liquid and added brown sugar and
vinegar to make a glossy glaze.
Shallot, toasted almonds, fresh
mint and thyme, and a little lemon
zest finished the dish. Look for
beets that are 2 to 3 inches in
diameter.

Gilmer is used to customers
thumping the produce, listening
for a deep, hollow sound. Missis-
sippi State’s Extension Service
recommends choosing melons that
feel heavy for their size. (Melons
are more than 90 percent water.)
The heavier, the riper. And look for
a deep yellow “field” spot, where it
sat on the ground and ripened in
the sun.
Once cut from the vine, a wa-
termelon has about three to four
weeks of shelf life, according to the
National Watermelon Promotion
Board site, watermelon.org.
Melons are about 70 percent
flesh, 30 percent rind, and 100
percent usable and compostable,
the site notes. They are cholester-
ol-, fat- and sodium-free and a good
source of vitamins A, C and B6.
Most melon-lovers will say they
just like enjoying a big slice. But re-
freshing watermelon can be cubed,
balled or diced for salads, salsas,
appetizers or grilled kabobs. It’s a
great hydrator, too. Drink the juice
straight, or, like Liddell, blend it
in smoothies. It can also be mixed
into a cocktail of choice.
The rind may be the most over-
looked part, but that can be sliced
into a crunchy stir fry, fermented
for sweet-salty pickles, or used as a
vessel or centerpiece for salsas or
salads, notes the Promotion Board.

C
ooking fish at a low temperature in a cov-
ered pot is a nearly foolproof way to achieve
perfectly cooked fish, since the heavy Dutch
oven holds in moisture and allows the fish to cook
through gently and evenly.
This method is also a wonderful way to concen-
trate flavor, meaning that a minimum of ingredients
can make a big impact. We started by browning
sliced garlic in oil, which mellowed its flavor and
infused the dish with warm aromatic notes.
Cherry tomatoes, which are of reliable quality
year-round, became soft and sweet with the gentle
cooking. Capers provided briny bites, and thyme
gave the dish an herbal base note. Browning the
halibut was unnecessary; it didn’t contribute much
to the flavor, and the fish’s texture was better with-
out it.
While the halibut rested, we finished the sauce
by cooking off some of the excess liquid on the
stovetop. Sea bass and swordfish steaks are good
substitutes for the halibut.

Servings: 6
Start to finish: 25 minutes
3 tablespoons plus 1 tea-
spoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
thyme or rosemary
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
Salt and pepper
3/4 cup olive oil
6 (8-ounce) tuna steaks, 1
inch thick
n For a charcoal grill: Open
bottom vent completely. Light
large chimney starter filled
with charcoal briquettes (6
quarts). When top coals are
partially covered with ash,
pour evenly over half of grill.
Set cooking grate in place,
cover, and open lid vent

heat grill until hot, about 15
minutes.
n Meanwhile, whisk vinegar,
thyme, mustard, honey, 1/2
teaspoon salt, and pinch
pepper together in large bowl.
Whisking constantly, slowly
drizzle oil into vinegar mixture
until lightly thickened and
emulsified. Measure out 3/4
cup vinaigrette and set aside
for cooking tuna. Reserve re-
maining vinaigrette for serving.
n Clean cooking grate, then
repeatedly brush grate with
well-oiled paper towels until
grate is black and glossy, 5 to
10 times.
n Pat tuna dry with paper
towels. Generously brush both
sides of tuna with vinaigrette
and season with salt and
pepper. Place tuna on grill (on
hotter side if using charcoal)
and cook (covered if using
gas) until grill marks form and
bottom surface is opaque, 1
to 3 minutes.
n Flip tuna and cook until
opaque at perimeter and
translucent red at center when
checked with tip of paring
knife and registers 110 F (for
rare), about 1 1/2 minutes, or
until opaque at perimeter and
reddish pink at center when
checked with tip of paring

medium-rare), about 3 min-
utes. Serve, passing reserved
vinaigrette.
