The long way ‘round

The beginnings of the Highway 82 bypass in Pickens County, Alabama, can be seen in this aerial image. Multiple homes previously sat behind Clayburn
and Sandra Driver’s home, where the road is currently being constructed. The state demolished 44 structures in Gordo and Pickens County to make
room for the roadway.

After 20 years of planning, the bypass being built around Gordo will improve safety and even help the town
grow.

Gordo, Alabama, swiping through photos

He slid it across the table when he had found
what he was looking for: a video from Novem-

flames.
Back around 2001, Driver’s house was slated
for the same fate.
“We’ve been fighting this ever since we built

town,” Sandra said.
As the department slowly builds the High-
way 82 bypass around north Gordo, to increase
the vehicle carrying capacity on the highway
and decrease heavy truck traffic through the
town’s center, it’s unclear what’s in store for the
community of about 1,650, currently spliced
diagonally by the existing highway. A common
anxiety is that the town, which has been on the
decline for a few decades, will completely dry
up. Some residents, however, think the byass

Lowndes sheriff’s candidates hit pavement for support in runoff

General election campaigns begin in earnest for other races
BY MARY POLLITZ
mpollitz@cdispatch.com
Right before the rain started
to pour Friday afternoon, Lown-
des County Republican sher-
iff’s candidate Eddie Hawkins
walked through a New Hope
neighborhood with a stack of
pamphlets and a notepad in-
hand.
“I always walk with a note-
book, in case someone wants
a sign, magnets or if they just
need help,” Hawkins said. “You
just never know.”
Hawkins, a Mississippi Bu-
reau of Narcotics agent, has
spent nearly every day since
Tuesday’s primary doing much
of the same — knocking on
doors, introducing himself and
trying to convince voters to
mark his name on their runoff
ballots Aug. 27.
He placed second in the
three-man primary on Tuesday
to earn a spot in the runoff, but
he trailed first-place finisher
Greg Wright, the current LCSO
chief deputy, by nearly 900
votes. While Hawkins hopes a
blue-collar campaign strategy
helps him close the gap, “name
recognition” has proven more
difficult for the narcotics agent
to achieve than expected.
“I’m the guy that’s behind
the scenes usually,” he said.

“Now I’m trying to promote my-
self and it’s been hard. … I was

true. I’ve really liked getting to
know people. It’s been a really
good experience so far. This
has given me the opportunity to
meet some really good people.”
Hawkins knocked on every
door in about a 20-house neigh-
borhood Friday.
“I just like to … ask their
concerns, maybe what they are
looking for,” Hawkins said Fri-
day while walking through the
neighborhood and pointing out
houses he had been to. “That’s

‘Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious

questions that must be answered’
Attorney General William Barr
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Jeffrey
Epstein, the well-connect-
ed financier accused of or-
chestrating a sex-trafficking
ring, had been taken off sui-
cide watch before he killed
himself in a New York jail,
a person familiar with the
matter said Saturday.
Attorney General Wil-
liam Barr said he was “ap-
palled” to learn of Epstein’s
death while in federal custo-
dy. The FBI and the Depart-
ment of Justice’s Office of
the Inspector General will
investigate, he said.
“Mr. Epstein’s death rais-
es serious questions that
must be answered,” Barr
said in a statement.
Epstein was found unre-
sponsive in his cell Saturday
morning at the Metropol-
itan Correctional Center,
according to the Federal
Bureau of Prisons. Fire of-
ficials received a call at 6:39
a.m. Saturday that Epstein

last month. He had pleaded
not guilty and was awaiting
trial on accusations of sex-
ually abusing dozens of un-
derage girls.
A little over two weeks
ago, Epstein was found on
the floor of his cell with
bruises on his neck , ac-
cording to a person familiar
with the matter who spoke
on condition of anonymity.
At the time, it was not clear
whether the injuries were
self-inflicted or from an as-
sault.
A person familiar with
the matter told The Asso-
ciated Press that Epstein
had been taken off suicide
watch. The person wasn’t
authorized to discuss the
matter publicly and spoke
to AP on condition of ano-
nymity. It wasn’t immediate-
ly clear when he was taken
off suicide watch.

confirmed that he had been

But now with cost estimates

and CLW continue to bring
the plan closer to fruition.
Once initiated, the program
will allow students to access
their school accounts (with the
same user rules as if they are
on campus) at their homes free
of charge. This could unlock
a world of possibilities and
learning resources for students
who currently don’t have that
access off campus.

Facts on new city LED lights
I know that ship has sailed with the 3-1 vote in
favor of the new lights. I’ve been researching some
facts and something doesn’t make sense. If you
look at the facts and figures your head will swim.
I got a headache from trying to understand the
presentation. Let me start by stating that in March,
Mr. Crowder stated our general fund will be wiped
out by the end of the fiscal year. Mayor Smith said,
“It’s not yet time to panic”, and “It’s definitely a
problem, but I wouldn’t call it a crisis”. Well fellow
citizens, we are in trouble and a tax increase is on
the horizon. The way money has been spent since
the “spending freeze” was enacted, you would
think there is no financial crisis. The city borrowed
$5 million for tornado clean up, spent $100,000 on
a street light survey and trips here there and back
for fire certification. Now $3.2 million for the LED
lights. Based on the number of lights the PATH
representative gave us the cost is nearly $750 per
light installed. In January, the PATH representa-
tive said the LED light will save $400,000 paid to
the CLW. That’s a lot of money taken from the bud-
get of the department. Will that mean we’ll have a
rate increase to make up the loss of revenue? I’m
all about savings but, what’s the rush, when a loan
is necessary? Possumhaw
I don’t mean to nit pick, but in January 2019
the cost was $2.8 million. Now it’s $3.2. We pay
$515,000 to CLW annually now, but according to
PATH the new LED savings is $396,000. The first

Documents: Plant owners ‘willfully’ used ineligible workers

There have historically been few criminal convictions for hiring
people without documents because prosecutors must prove
employers knowingly hired someone without legal work authorization
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Six of seven
Mississippi chicken processing
plants raided Wednesday were
“willfully and unlawfully” em-
ploying people who lacked au-
thorization to work in the United
States, including workers wear-
ing electronic monitoring brace-
lets at work for previous immi-
gration violations, according to
unsealed court documents.
Federal investigators behind
the biggest immigration raid in
a decade relied on confidential
informants inside the plants in
addition to data from the mon-
itoring bracelets to help make
their case, according to the doc-
uments.
The sworn statements sup-
ported the search warrants
that led a judge to authorize
Wednesday’s raids, and aren’t
official charges, but give the first
detailed look at the evidence in-
volved in what Immigration and
Customs Enforcement officials
have described as a yearlong in-
vestigation.
Officials arrested 680 people
during Wednesday’s operation.
Three Democratic congressmen
on Friday demanded that the De-
partment of Homeland Security
and the Department of Justice
produce information. They want
to know the cost of the raids,
whether employers face criminal
charges, whether any U.S. citi-
zens were detained, how many
parents were separated from chil-
dren and whether any still remain
separated.
The statements unsealed
Thursday allege that managers at
two processing plants owned by
the same Chinese man actively
participated in fraud. They also
show that supervisors at other
plants at least turned a blind eye
to evidence strongly suggesting
job applicants were using fraudu-
lent documents and bogus Social
Security numbers.
The documents say electronic
monitoring bracelet data shows
people previously arrested for
immigration violations and not
allowed to work in the U.S. were
working at all seven plants raid-
ed.
There have historically been
few criminal convictions for hir-
ing people without documents
because prosecutors must prove
employers knowingly hired
someone without legal work au-
thorization. Employers often say
they were fooled by fraudulent
documents.
From October 2018 to May
there were eight new prosecu-
tions for hiring people working
illegally and four new convictions
nationwide. Among those who
have been sentenced to prison
are the owner of an Iowa meat-
packing plant raided in 2008 and
owner of a Tennessee meatpack-
ing plant raided last year.
Companies can also face ad-
ministrative fines based on audits
of I-9 forms, which employees fill
out when they’re hired, present-
ing documents to prove they can
work legally work.
Investigators allege the most
brazen fraud took place at two
smaller chicken processing
plants — PH Food Inc. in Mor-
ton and A&B Inc. in Pelahatchie.
Sworn statements identify Huo
You Liang of California, known to
Mississippi employees as Victor,
as owner of both.
A PH Food employee, acting
as a confidential informant, told
Homeland Security investiga-
tors that the vast majority of the
240 employees at PH’s plant in
Morton and the 80 employees at
A&B’s plant in Pelahatchie didn’t
have proper work documents, in-
cluding many Guatemalans.
The informant said employees
used their real names and made-
up Social Security numbers to
apply for jobs at PH and A&B.
“The payroll companies, as well
as PH Food Inc. and A&B Inc. do
not verify the authenticity of their
documents,” the informant told
investigators. Mississippi state
law requires employers to check
documents using E-Verify, an
otherwise voluntary online feder-
al system.

2 Mississippi cooperatives
are first to set internet plans
‘These actions today will be
a turning point in the lives
of rural Mississippians’
Northern District Public Service
Commissioner Brandon Presley
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Two
Mississippi electric coop-
eratives are announcing
plans to create subsidiar-
ies to offer high-speed in-
ternet, months after state
legislators passed a law
allowing the rural elec-
tric providers to enter the
business.
Tallahatchie Valley
Electric Power Associa-
tion, based in Batesville,
announced its plans Fri-
day. Tombigbee Electric
Power Association an-
nounced its plans Satur-
day at its annual meeting
in Tupelo.
Tallahatchie Valley
says a contractor will start
stringing fiber optic cable
next month and that build-
out should take about four
years. Tallahatchie Val-
ley Board Chairman Will
Hays said the cooperative
began evaluating needs
and determining the feasi-
bility of offering services
immediately after the law
passed.
“The overwhelming
response from our mem-
bers confirmed our stud-
ies and we are moving
forward,” Hays said in a
statement.
Lawmakers were re-
sponding to complaints
that current providers
weren’t serving rural ar-
eas, leaving residents to
rely on slow connections
through phones, satel-
lites, or trips to libraries
and restaurants.
“Broadband is not a

Northern District Pub-

Brandon Presley, a Dem-
ocrat who championed
lifting the prohibition on
cooperatives offering in-
ternet service, likens the
move to when the Ten-
nessee Valley Authority
entered northern Missis-
sippi, speeding rural elec-
trification.
“In the 1930s, Tombig-
bee and Tallahatchie elec-
tric power associations
brought the modern tech-
nology of that day, elec-
tricity, to the rural people
of their areas,” Presley
said in a statement. “In

are embarking on doing
the same for today’s tech-

Drought affecting about

1 million in Deep South
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.
— A new assessment
shows about 1 million
people are being affected
by drought in the Deep
South, but conditions
are improving slightly in
some areas.
The latest report re-
leased Thursday by the
U.S. Drought Monitor
shows parts of Alabama,
Georgia and South Caro-
lina all have regions that
are too dry.
The worst areas are
agricultural counties in
southeast Alabama and
the area just south of Bir-
mingham. About 600,000
people are affected by
drought statewide.
There’s also a mod-
erate drought in central
Georgia near Macon, and
eastern South Carolina is
too dry.
Drought conditions im-
proved slightly this week
in South Carolina and Ala-
bama. But they got a little
worse in Georgia.
Mississippi is drought-
free. Louisiana has only a
few areas that are abnor-
mally dry after Hurricane
Barry hit last month.

LEFT: Lowndes County sheriff candidate Greg Wright puts up a campaign sign Friday on Fifth Avenue North. RIGHT: Lowndes County sheriff candidate Eddie Hawkins talks
to DeeDee Andrews and her son, Lee, on Friday afternoon in a New Hope neighborhood while campaigning. “You’ve got my vote,” DeeDee said. “I was impressed with your
resume. I didn’t know you had all that experience.” Wright and Hawkins will face off in the Aug. 27 runoff election.

a definite yes, that one is
a definite maybe. I think
I’m fairing pretty well out
here.”
For front-runner
Wright, he’s been doing
“the same old, same old.”
Sitting in his office at the
Lowndes County Sheriff’s
Office on Friday, he said
his reputation and his
work are the front foot of
his campaign because it’s
the best way of showing
constituents what he can
do.
And unlike Hawkins
— who took leave from
his MBI job to focus on
his campaign — Wright is
still working his day job.
That means he doesn’t ac-
tively campaign except for
evenings and weekends.
He also has friends mak-
ing calls, posting signs
and delivering shirts.
So far, Wright said,
his strategy seems to be
working.
“I’m going to keep do-
ing what I’ve been doing
all along,” Wright said.
“A lot of the campaigning
is just me doing my job. I
have to maintain the day-
to-day operations of the
department.”
Metrics of the runoff
Only about 28 percent
of Lowndes County vot-
ers cast ballots on Tues-
day. For the runoff, both
Wright and Hawkins
hope to get their own peo-
ple back to the polls and
maybe even see higher
voter turnout, which his-
torically isn’t the case for
runoffs.
Then there’s the ele-
phant in the room — the
battle for the nearly 2,000
votes third-place Republi-
can Rick Jones received.
For that, Wright is
pushing advertisements
through conventional and
social media platforms
and “reaching out” to as
many people as he can.
“This is the first time
I’ve ever run for some-
thing,” Wright said. “…
When this process is all
over with, hopefully I’ll be
the sheriff. But if for some
reason I don’t win, I’ll be
gracious. If I’m supposed
to have this job, I’ll have
it.”
Hawkins is appealing
directly to Jones’ people,
looking for yards with
Rick Jones signs and try-
ing to sway those voters
at their front door.
“He’s pulling them
up as quick as he can,”
Hawkins said. “That’s my
focus though. It’s a 50-50
shot I can get their vote. I
need to find a way to meet
these people and at least
try to earn this vote.”
Whoever wins the run-
off will face independent
Anthony Nelson in the
Nov. 5 general election.
General election
campaigns underway
Oktibbeha County Dis-
trict 4 Supervisor Brick-
lee Miller didn’t have to
sweat the Tuesday prima-
ry. The unopposed Repub-
lican incumbent tracked
vote totals throughout the
night, though, to see who
her Democratic opponent
would be Nov. 5.
Ultimately, former su-
pervisor Daniel Jackson
prevailed, setting up a
rematch between Miller
and the man she unseated
in 2015.
Now, Miller said her
campaign work begins in
earnest.
“I think serving the
people as I’ve been doing
is as good of statement
as anything,” Miller said.
“I’ll start my door-to-door
campaign, and District
4 is the largest district.
That will take me more
than two months.”
Miller’s $5,400 in
fundraising went virtual-
ly untouched during the
primary season. By con-
trast, Jackson raised and
spent $1,570 — much of it
his own money — during
his primary campaign
against Leonard “Knot
Knot” Thompson.
Jackson has been on
the campaign trail for
months. He said he’ll
spend most days until
Nov. 5 doing what he’s
been doing.
“I plan on getting out
and knocking on doors,”
Jackson said. “I’m going
to try to get to those peo-
ple I didn’t get to the first
go around.”

Candidate questions tight GOP

primary for Mississippi Senate
The Associated Press
BILOXI — A state Senate candidate
in Mississippi says he will contest the re-
sults of a Republican primary that’s neck
and neck.
State Rep. Scott DeLano of Biloxi tells
news outlets he wants to examine all bal-
lot boxes and other election material.
DeLano and Biloxi City Councilwom-
an Dixie Newman ran in Tuesday’s pri-
mary in Senate District 50 in Harrison
County.
They remained within a few votes of
each other as votes were counted elec-
tion night. The next day, election offi-
cials found a thumb drive, or electronic
record, of uncounted votes from one pre-
cinct. Once those were added, Newman
was ahead by a single vote.
The election has not been certified
because voters who forgot to bring iden-
tification to the polls have five business
days to show their IDs to have their bal-
lots counted. The deadline is Tuesday, a
week after the primary.
Republican Tommy Gollott of Biloxi
held the Senate seat for decades but
didn’t seek reelection. Because no Dem-
ocrats or other candidates are running,
the winner of the Republican primary
will hold the seat for the next four years.
DeLano told the Sun Herald that he’s
concerned about “the integrity of the
race.” He asked: “Why didn’t somebody
know that there was a thumb drive miss-
ing on Tuesday night before everyone at-
tested to the accuracy of the work they
performed that night?”

AP Congressional Correspondent

The Republicans are going to be great and
lead the charge along with the Democrats.’
President Donald Trump
By ZEKE MILLER and DEB
RIECHMANN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President
Donald Trump said Friday he be-
lieves he has influence to rally
Republicans around stronger fed-
eral background check laws as Con-
gress and the White House work on
a response to last weekend’s mass
shootings in Texas and Ohio.
At the same time, Trump said he
had assured the National Rifle As-
sociation that its gun-rights views
would be “fully represented and
respected.” He said he was hopeful
the NRA would not be an obstacle
to strengthening the nation’s gun
laws.
Trump has promised to lead on
tougher gun control measures be-
fore, including after the 2018 Park-
land, Florida, school shooting, but
little has come of it. His comments
in the wake of the twin massacres
marked his most optimistic and
supportive words in favor of more
stringent gun laws, though he left
the details vague and it remained to
be seen how much political capital
Trump would throw behind mar-
shaling Republicans on the issue.
He said Friday he now is looking
for “very meaningful background
checks” but is not considering a
resurrection of an assault weapons
ban. He said he also believes law-
makers will support “red flag” laws
that allow guns to be removed from
those who may be a danger to them-
selves and others.
“I see a better feeling right now
toward getting something mean-
ingful done,” Trump told reporters
when asked why the political envi-
ronment was different now.
“I have a greater influence now
over the Senate and the House,” he
said at the White House.
Democrats and others have been
skeptical of Trump’s commitment
to genuine gun control, judging
from past experience. But he said
he was behind it.
“The Republicans are going to
be great and lead the charge along
with the Democrats,” he declared,
saying he’d spoken with Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
the issue. Republicans have long
opposed expanding background
checks — a bill passed by the Dem-
ocratic-led House is stalled in Mc-
Connell’s Senate — but they face
new pressure after the shootings in
El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio,
that left 31 people dead.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer tweeted in response Fri-
day that McConnell must bring up
the House-passed legislation, which
Trump had previously threatened
to veto. “To get anything meaning-
ful done to address gun violence,
we need his commitment to hold a
Senate vote on the House-passed
background checks legislation,”
Schumer said.
As for the NRA, which has con-
tributed millions to help Trump and
other Republicans, the gun lobby’s
chief executive, Wayne LaPierre,
said this week that some federal
gun control proposals “would make
millions of law-abiding Americans
less safe and less able to defend
themselves and their loved ones.”
But Trump said he’d spoken with
LaPierre this week and “I think in
the end, Wayne and the NRA will
either be there or either be a little
more neutral.”
“Frankly, I really think they’re
going to get there also,” he added.
WASHINGTON — It’s not quite
“Trump-McConnell 2020,” but it
might as well be.
As he runs for reelection, Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
is positioning himself as the presi-
dent’s wingman, his trusted right
hand in Congress, transformed
McConnell
from a behind-the-scenes player
into a prominent if sometimes re-
viled Republican like none other besides Donald
Trump himself.
“In Washington, President Trump and I are
making America great again!” he declared at a
rally in Kentucky, his voice rising over protesters.
Other than Democrat Nancy Pelosi — and
more recently Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — no
current politician has so quickly become such a
high-profile object of partisan scorn. McConnell
was heckled last weekend at his home state’s an-
nual “Fancy Farm” political picnic, and protesters
outside his Louisville house hurled so many pro-
fanities that Twitter temporarily shut down his
account for posting video of them online.
Undaunted, he revels in the nickname he’s giv-
en himself — the “Grim Reaper,” bragging that
he’s burying the House Democrats’ agenda —
though he seems stung by one lobbed by oppo-
nents, “Moscow Mitch.”

Walmart pulls violent game displays but will still sell guns
Detractors panned the move as an empty gesture aimed
a deflecting criticism rather than solving a problem
By MICHELLE CHAPMAN,
MAE ANDERSON and
JOSEPH PISANI
AP Business Writers
NEW YORK —
Walmart has ordered
workers to remove video
game signs and displays
that depict violence from
stores nationwide after 22
people died in a shooting
at one of its Texas stores,
but the big box retailer will
continue to sell guns.
In an internal memo,
the retailer told employ-
ees to remove any violent
marketing material, un-
plug Xbox and PlayStation
consoles that show violent
video games and turn off
any violence depicted on
screens in its electronics
departments.
Employees also were
asked to shut off hunting
season videos in the sport-
ing goods department
where guns are sold. “Re-
move from the salesfloor
or turn off these items im-
mediately,” the memo said.
Walmart will still sell
the violent video games
and hasn’t made any
changes to its gun sales
policy, despite pressure
from workers, politicians
and activists to do so.
“We’ve taken this action
out of respect for the inci-
dents of the past week,”
Walmart spokeswoman
Tara House said in an
email. She declined to an-
swer any questions beyond
the statement.
Detractors panned the
move as an empty gesture
aimed a deflecting criti-
cism rather than solving a
problem.
“That is a non-answer
and a non-solution,” said
Thomas Marshall, who
works at Walmart’s e-com-
merce division in San
Bruno, California, and
has helped organize a pe-
tition to get the company
to stop selling guns. He
said they plan to email the
petition, which has more
than 53,000 signatures, to
Walmart CEO Doug Mc-
Millon on Friday.
After the massacre
at the El Paso Walmart
this weekend, McMillon
said the company “will be
thoughtful and deliberate
in our responses.”
After the mass shoot-
ing at a Parkland, Flori-
da, high school last year,
Walmart Inc. banned sales
of firearms and ammu-
nition to people younger
than 21. It had stopped
selling AR-15s and other
semi-automatic weapons
in 2015, citing weak sales.
President Donald
Trump blamed “gruesome
and grisly video games”
for encouraging violence
Monday, but there is no
known link between vio-
lent video games and vio-
lent acts.
The El Paso massacre
was followed by another
shooting hours later in
Dayton, Ohio, that killed
nine people.
The United States has
had 254 mass shootings
—instances of four or
more people being shot in
individual outbreaks — in
2019, according to the Gun
Violence Archive.

Stocks fall again on trade-war worries, capping a wild week

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Stocks
stumbled Friday as wor-
ries flared yet again that
President Donald Trump’s
trade war with China may
be worsening. It was a fit-
ting end to a wild week
where markets zoomed
down, up and down again
as investors recalibrated
by the minute how much
the tensions will hurt the
global economy.
The S&P 500 dropped
as much as 1.3 percent
Friday after Trump said
that it would be “fine” if
a meeting on trade with
China next month doesn’t
happen, before nearly
eliminating the loss. It
dropped again in the final
minutes of trading and
ended the day at 2,918.65,
down 19.44 points, or 0.7
percent.
The Dow Jones Indus-
trial Average fell 90.75, or
0.3 percent, to 26,287.44,
and the Nasdaq lost 80.02,
or 1 percent, to 7,959.14.

to a funding issue, said John McWil-
liams, ALDOT public information
officer for the West Central Region.
When plans resurfaced in 2016, the
new path spared the Drivers’ home,
along with those of at least several of
his neighbors first deemed “in the way.”
Still, a total of 44 structures in Gordo
and Pickens County, including homes
and businesses, were demolished for
the $46.8 million roadway.
The first and current phase of
construction, the grading and draining,
should be complete by spring 2020,
McWilliams said. By 2022, the road
should be carrying traffic.
After buying scraps of land around
their house that the state didn’t need
for the bypass, Clayburn and Sandra
Driver now live at the end of their street
alone, in a wooded area with some
privacy and a lot of space.
“I love it up here,” Clayburn said.
A town ‘dead for years’
Multiple studies conducted by trans-
portation departments and university
researchers, in Kentucky, Texas, Iowa,
Wisconsin, North Carolina and Florida,
found highway bypasses didn’t regular-
ly adversely impact communities with
fewer than 2,000 people. Commercial
development along the bypass grew.
Some businesses relocated. A decrease
in aggregate retail sales was some-
times found.
What could happen in Gordo is un-
certain. The city council annexed the
right-of-way from the state, so every-
thing along the bypass, which breaks
off at the 25.9-mile marker past Reform
and west of Gordo, will be part of the
town, but away from its heart.
Mayor Craig Patterson said the mea-
sure allows the town to provide utilities
for anyone who sets up shop along the
route.
“We can help them if they want to
come into the city,” Patterson said.
“We’re trying to look at it as a positive
and another avenue for commercial
development.”
The town sees about 12,000 vehicles
on Highway 82 every day, Patterson
said, and he hopes that number will
increase.
But “increase” hasn’t been much of a
theme in Gordo in recent decades.
When Sandra Driver was a kid, in
the 1960s and ‘70s, Gordo was boom-
ing. She remembers the Powell family’s
10-cent store, Gordo 5 and 10, with a
counter in the front where people would
buy candy by weight, a meat market
known as “Cold Storage” with Cattle-

men’s Cafe attached, boutiques, beauty
parlors and barbershops. She recalls
trips to the big community swimming
pool and selling cotton with her grand-
parents at the local cotton gin.
There was Housel’s Hardware, the
Glass-Davis Drug Store and Price Drug
Store, owned by local families.
“It was a perfect world,” Sandra said.
“We could buy pretty much anything
we needed right in our own little town.”
Gordo was founded in 1898 with
some of the first land grants issued to
the United States around 1821. Tradi-
tion holds that a soldier returning from
the Battle of Sierra Gordo during the
Mexican Revolution named the town.
By the 1980s, Gordo was at the peak
of an arc of growth, with a population of
2,112, up from 952 just 30 years before.
In 1987, the town held its first annual
Mule Day/Chickenfest the first week of
June to celebrate its agricultural roots,
with music, local and out-of-town ven-
dors and a parade of mules, horses and
wagons down Main Street, a display of
antique tractors and cars. The 32nd fes-
tival was this year, and Patterson said
it attracted more than 10,000 people in
just two days.
After the ‘80s, the population started
to decline. By 2000, it had dwindled to
about 1,600, where it has leveled off.
Now, the downtown area is dotted
with dilapidated pastel buildings span-
ning several streets.
Sandra said the bypass can’t kill
Gordo. It’s been gone for a while, but
she hopes it can return to what it once
was with increased business.
“Gordo’s been dead for years,” she
said. “Now you’ve got a Piggly Wiggly
and a Dollar General. That’s about it.”
‘It’s going to hurt us’
Beth and Eddie Fisher run
Cheeky’s, a standalone restaurant two-
tenths of a mile up First Avenue West
from where it intersects with Highway
82.
Around noon two Tuesdays ago, the
dining room, decorated with old-timey
posters on the wood-paneled walls, was
almost completely quiet during what
Beth Fisher called an unusually slow
lunch.
Fisher said most of the restaurant’s
customers are out-of-towners, from
surrounding cities including Colum-
bus, Tuscaloosa and Northport. Last
week, travelers made a pit stop for the
specials: chicken ‘n’ dressing or a fried
pork chop.

do you?” she asked a regular custom-

er, from Tuscaloosa, seated alone at a
table.
“Put it in a trough,” he said.
She thinks the bypass will hurt
business, and she said people have
suggested she advertise on billboards
along the new route to maintain her
customer flow.
“How can we afford that if this hap-
pens?” she asked.
About a half-mile down the road,
Charlie Patel, who moved to the United
States from around Mumbai, India,
opened the 16-unit, red-brick Gordo
Motel in 1999.
Patel said roughly a quarter of his
business are travelers, so he’s bracing
for impact.
A “diverse community,” of different
races, with “very good people,” would
be lost if the bypass proves to be a
detriment.
“I want to stay up to my last breath,”
Patel said, from behind a glass partition
in the motel’s main office.
Efi Belim, who owns the Chevron
gas station, thinks the bypass won’t
have a resounding effect.
Locals generate 85-90 percent of his
total business, he estimated. His travel-
ing customers usually just stop to fill up
their tanks and use the restroom.
Even if it does affect the town,
Belim’s lease for the building expires
at the end of 2020. He said he’s consid-
ering staying in Gordo, even opening a
new business.
“Maybe an ice cream shop,” he said,
something Gordo doesn’t have.
Fewer accidents, less noise
A couple weeks ago, after a morning
rain, Kimberly Cunningham, 61, sat in
a chair on her front patio of her yellow
house, the first of seven in a row, on
Fifth Court Northwest. She’s yards up
the road from the existing highway.
She’s grown accustomed to the loud
traffic, especially since she lived adja-
cent to railroad tracks near Charles-
ton, South Carolina, before moving to
Gordo about 20 years ago.
“You just kind of tune it out,” Cun-
ningham said, speaking over rising
and falling of groans from trucks. “It’s
not so intrusive that you can’t live your
life.”
The bypass could be more helpful to
the town than hurtful, especially with
regularly-occurring car accidents along
Highway 82, she said.
“It won’t hurt to not have all the
through traffic here,” she said.

Walker, 28, and his family moved,
temporarily, from Lake Charles, Louisi-
ana, to Gordo specifically for his work
on the job.
He and his wife rented a small house
facing Highway 82, next to the Chevron
gas station. A plastic toy car big enough
to fit a toddler sat in the yard.
“This highway here doesn’t ever
stop,” Walker said.
Walker said safety was one of his
concerns when he moved in.
“If we’re not outside, we don’t let
the kids go out,” Walker said. “We take
them to the park.”
Some things change, others
stay the same
At Cattle on a Flame restaurant,
families with members spanning three
of four generations sat down for dinner
at black-and-white checked tables
beneath painted portraits of cows. The
serve staff said the club sandwiches
“do really well,” but more tables were
covered in baskets of steak, fried chick-
en, baked potatoes and Texas toast.
Jordan Jones, 18, mans the checkout
counter. The restaurant mostly runs
on local business, but also satisfies
travelers from Mississippi and other
parts of Alabama, so the bypass isn’t a
major concern.
Jones said “there’s literally noth-
ing to do” or see in Gordo, her sleepy
hometown, characterized by everyone
knowing everyone’s business.
Gordo High School football is the
main pastime, Jones, a former co-cap-
tain of the cheer squad, said.
The school’s fall spirit night is this
week, she said. Everyone in town will
go out to the field behind the school
to watch the Green Wave team scrim-
mage. The marching band and cheer-
leaders make an appearance, too.
“Usually our highlight here are foot-
ball games,” she said.
Just down the highway, Gordo res-
ident Shannon Dyer, 43, was working
on a 1973 Camaro in his personal car
garage with his friend, Andy Hoggle,
52, who lives in Tuscaloosa County.
The two are making a “restomod,”
restoring the vintage car with new
parts.
Even with the impending bypass,
Hoggle said Gordo residents are in
control of their town’s fate.
“The only people that are keeping
Gordo alive are the people in Gordo,”
he said.

Moorhead embracing former

head coaches on his staff in 2019
Five assistants have head-coaching experience
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Joe Moorhead is
admittedly still learning his trade.
Twice this offseason he’s said he was,
“getting ahead of his skis,” in year one at
Mississippi State.
“I am not saying I’m changing what
our goals are,” Moorhead said at South-
eastern Conference Media Days. “But
the approach of coming off the plane
guns blazing, talking about ring sizes
and Heisman trophies — and the expec-
tation level of the team entering the sea-
son, prior to me even getting there … I
think what I may have done is elevated
the expectation level to a point where
nothing that we did short of a champion-
ship was going to make people happy.”
Yet with a handful of new coaching
hires and a plethora of head coaching
experience on his staff for 2019, Moor-
head is prepared to learn from those un-
der his guidance.
“Any time you’ve had an opportunity
to bounce ideas off of people who have
sat in that chair (is great),” he said.
“There’s really not a manual for it.”
Mississippi State currently boasts
five assistant coaches with head coach-
ing experience — quarterbacks coach
Andrew Breiner, special teams coordi-
nator Joey Jones, associate head coach
and tight ends coach Tony Hughes, de-
fensive coordinator Bob Shoop and wide
receivers coach Michael Johnson.
Of those, Jones, Breiner, Hughes and
Shoop have all coached at the Division
I level.
“He lets us know when the suggestion
box is open and when it’s closed,” Shoop
said of Moorhead. “Coach encourages
everybody to contribute and when a con-
tribution is asked for, and I’m happy to

do it. And if I see something that is right
or wrong I think all of our guys are good
about doing that in a professional man-
ner and doing it the right way.”
Jones, the longtime coach at South
Alabama, reflected on his time in Mobile
Saturday in reference to Moorhead’s tall
order of setting a championship stan-
dard in Starkville. Tasked with taking
the Jaguars into their first season at the
DI level, Jones leaned on former MSU
assistant Les Koenning during the tran-
sition period before he was hired away
by Dan Mullen ahead of the 2009 season.
A similar relationship can be seen
between he and Moorhead — though
Jones was quick to note Moorhead is
MSU head coach Joe Moorhead
plenty equipped for the task in his own
right.
“First of all I don’t think coach Moor-
head needs a ton of help because I think
he’s a great football coach,” Jones said.
“But from time to time I’ll go into his of-
fice and talk to him about things and he
asks. He’s not too big of an ego guy to
where you can’t ask a question.”
As for Shoop and Breiner — both

in New York City at Columbia and Ford-
ham, respectively.

Braves reliever Mark Melancon started the ninth
and got the first out before allowing four consecutive

Melancon and allowed Diaz’s bases-loaded single.
Mike Siroka had a solid outing against the last-

Sandy Alcantara in the eighth that gave the Braves
a 1-0 lead. In the seventh pitch of the at-bat, Albies
hit a shot off Alcantara’s left heel that caromed into
left field and allowed Charlie Culberson to score from
second. Ronald Acuña Jr. advanced to third.
Alcantara was lifted after Albies’ hit, and Freddie
Freeman drove the first pitch from reliever Jarlin
Garcia into centerfield for a single that scored Acuña
and Albies.
The outing was Alcantara’s longest since a similar
7 2/3 inning effort at Philadelphia on June 21. Alcan-
tara allowed three runs, five hits, struck out six and
walked two.
Curtis Granderson’s one-out pinch hit home run
off Braves reliever Anthony Swarzak in the eighth got
Miami to within 3-1. Luke Jackson relieved Swarzak

TARKVILLE — Tommy Stevens is riding
high.
Speaking with gathered reporters at
Mississippi State football media day Saturday,
Stevens expressed his thoughts on how his game
has progressed through the first seven days of
fall camp as he continues to battle junior Keytaon
Thompson for the No. 1 job.
“I think that if you were to go by the numbers
this is my best camp so far if you go by completion
percentage and things that I’ve done throwing
the football,” he said. “Obviously there’s been
mistakes made and there’s been things I’ve been
able to learn from watching tape so there’s room
to improve. But overall I think I’ve done a really
good job.”
Stevens’ words aside, MSU coach Joe Moor-
head remained coy on when he will name a
starter— though he did double down on his loose
timeline of wanting to name the No. 1 guy 10 days
before the season opener against Louisiana Aug.
31 in New Orleans.
This Saturday, the Bulldogs will partake in
their first scrimmage of the fall in what should
give a glimpse into who the frontrunner in the
competition will be heading into the second week
of camp.
“I really like the vibe the team is carrying
right now,” Stevens said. “Just got to keep getting
better every day.”
Rivers leading the way
It’s no secret MSU is replacing plenty on the
defensive line.
With Montez Sweat, Jeffery Simmons, Gerri
Green and Braxton Hoyett off to the NFL, the
Bulldogs will rely heavily on a bevy on older, albe-
it inexperienced, players up front in 2019.
Anchoring that bunch is senior defensive end
is a logical replacement for Sweat on the outside.
“My knowledge of the game and knowing
every detail of the defense has improved,” he said.
“My pass rushing has gotten a lot better — I’m
just ready to play.”
Starting running back junior Kylin Hill of-
fered his own analysis of the defensive line and
what he’s seen in his attempts to weasel his way
through the trenches during the first week of fall
camp.
“It’s just a group of young guys that are ready
for the challenge,” he said. “A lot of people say
they’re young or they don’t have the experience
because we did lose a lot, but they also learned a
lot from those guys so they’re ready to step up.”
Running against this year’s defensive line has
also aided his game, Hill added.
“We’ve got some of the best defensive linemen
in the country,” he said. “And it’s only made me
better. If I can beat those guys, then I believe I
can beat anybody in the country.”
In all, MSU must cope with the losses of Sweat,
Simmons, Green and Hoyett, though Rivers is
leading the charge expediting that process.
“It’s a lot of competition every day that makes
the unit better,” Rivers said.
Transfers, injuries, and more
Kareem Walker is still not in Starkville.
Asked for an update on the former Michigan
running back’s situation, Moorhead said there is
none and that Walker continues to work through
administrative issues that have stalled his arrival.
The same can be said for South Alabama
transplant Corliss Waitman. His waiver for a sixth
year of eligibility was denied and he is seeking an
appeal. Moorhead said that his situation is “out of
our hands.”

Lane Johnson, Dallas Goedert
join Eagles growing injury list
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Eagles’
backup quarterback Nate Sudfeld
was back at practice Saturday wear-
ing an arm sling, one day after sur-
gery to repair a broken left wrist.
Two other players joined him on
the Philadelphia sideline.
Two-time Pro Bowl right tack-
le Lane Johnson and second-year
tight end Dallas Goedert are listed
as week-to-week with injuries that
aren’t expected to force them to
miss the season opener. Johnson
has a knee injury and Goedert hurt
his calf.
Goedert was one of a few key
players who played in a 27-10 loss to
Tennessee on Thursday night. He’s
expected to see plenty of action
with Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz
in certain formations.
Sudfeld said a plate and pins
were inserted into his non-throwing
wrist and he anticipates returning
in September.
“I’m fortunate and blessed it was
only my left wrist,” Sudfeld said
Saturday. “I’m trying to get back as
soon as I can.”
Eagles coach Doug Pederson
said the team is content with veter-
an Cody Kessler and rookie Clayton
Thorson backing up Carson Wentz.
“We’re very comfortable with
the two we have,” Pederson said.
“They’re going to get a lot of work
these next several weeks, obvious-
ly, in practice. If we see the need to
add depth and value, we will. But at
this time, we’re confident with the
guys we have moving forward.”
Wentz and the starters got plen-
ty of reps in Saturday’s practice that
lasted two-plus hours. Pederson
wouldn’t say whether he plans to
hold his No. 1 unit out until the first
game against Washington on Sept.
8, but gave a strong indication that
he values practices perhaps more
than preseason action.
“These are game-like practices,”
he said.
Johnson might be the most
valuable player on offense other
than Wentz. In 2016, the team was
2-8 without him when he was sus-
pended 10 games for violating the
league’s substance abuse policy
and 5-1 with him. His absence in
preseason allows second-year pro
Jordan Mailata to get more experi-
ence. Mailata hadn’t played football
before he was drafted in the sev-
enth round in 2018 after starring as
a rugby player in Australia.
“I’m pretty comfortable now,”
Mailata said.
Notes: CB Ronald Darby took
part in some 7-on-7 drills in his first
real practice after ACL surgery last
season. ... DE Derek Barnett also
participated in some drills for the
first time since shoulder surgery
ended his 2018 season. ... S Blake

n Jaguars don’t expect Robin-
son, Lee to play in season open-
er: JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The
Jacksonville Jaguars don’t expect
left tackle Cam Robinson and re-
ceiver Marqise Lee to be ready for
the season opener.
Coach Doug Marrone provided
an update on the two starters Satur-
The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com
day, saying “we just can’t get them
over the hump.”
“We’ve got to go and start pre-
paring to play without them, un-
fortunately,” Marrone added. “It
could change, obviously, but it’d be
tough.”
Robinson, a second-round draft
pick in 2017, tore the anterior cru-
ciate ligament in his left knee last
September — during a Week 2 win
against New England. Lee, who led
the team in receptions in 2017, tore
several ligaments in his left knee
when Atlanta cornerback Damon-
tae Kazee delivered a helmet-first
hit to his knee in a preseason game
last August.
Neither has practiced in training
camp, and both remain on the phys-
ically unable to perform list.
Robinson’s absence is seemingly
more problematic considering the
Jaguars have few viable options be-
hind him. Josh Wells is expected to
move into the starting spot, but he’s
missed more games (41) than he’s
played in (39) during five seasons.
Cedric Ogbuehi, a first-round draft
pick by Cincinnati in 2015, also
could get a shot.
“We’ll find out,” Marrone said.
“Someone will be out there, I can
tell you that.”
Adding to Jacksonville’s injuries
woes, the team had another dozen
players sitting out practice Satur-
day because of various injuries.
It’s not the result Marrone wanted
when he lightened the workload in
camp.
“Bad luck, I guess,” Marrone
said. “You don’t always get utopia,
the way you want to practice in a
perfect world. You’ve got to make
changes and do things. I made a ton
of them. It seems like it’s not work-
ing so far.”
Players have been on the field
nearly two hours earlier than they
were in 2018, avoiding the hottest
part of the day and afternoon thun-
derstorms. They get 90 minutes af-
ter practice for lunch and visits with
family and friends. They have re-
covery time built into the schedule,
too, allowing players to get cryo-
therapy, cupping, dry needling or
other therapeutic care after lunch.
They leave the facility in the
afternoon and hold meetings at
a nearby hotel, providing players
with a brief break to travel between
venues and allowing them to go
straight to their rooms once the
nightly sessions end.
Marrone’s about-face began
when team owner Shad Khan asked
how he planned to reduce the num-
ber of injuries following last year’s
5-11 debacle, which included a num-
ber of starters on injured reserve —
and began in the preseason.
Marrone started digging into
research and talking to experts.
He learned that an unusually high
number of soft-tissue injuries occur
during the first 10 days of camp,
while players are still getting accli-
mated to the heat and tempo. So he
opted to take it slow and easy.
Even after the changes, the Jag-
uars have at least six players sitting
out practices because of soft-tissues
injuries. They include cornerback
A.J. Bouye, rookie tight end Josh
Oliver (hamstring), receiver Terrell
Pryor (hamstring), guard Andrew
Norwell (quadriceps) and running
back Benny Cunningham (ham-
string).
Marrone rested 31 players in
the preseason opener at Baltimore
and is expected to do the same this
Thursday night against Philadel-
phia.
“We’re trying to get guys to the
season and ready to go,” Marrone
said. “That’s why practices are the
way they are and that’s why we’re
playing the way we are. Is it some-
thing that we’d like to do, myself
personally? Absolutely not. That’s
not been my background.
“I’ve changed, obviously, the phi-
losophy of what I’ve had in the pre-
season, and I’ve had to do it. It was
something that was kind of forced
with the injuries and everything
that happened.”
n Lions put Kearse on injured
reserve, sign QB Josh Johnson:
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Jermaine
Kearse checked several boxes for
the Detroit Lions when they brought
in the wide receiver as a free agent
during mini-camp in June.
Kearse was familiar with new of-
fensive coordinator Darrell Bevell’s
scheme, had the flexibility to play
outside or in the slot, and added a
veteran presence to a locker room
that formerly had strong wide re-
ceiver leadership from Golden Tate,
Kearse’s former teammate in Seat-
tle.
Now that Kearse is out indefi-
nitely after suffering a gruesome
injury on Thursday during the first
possession of the preseason opener,
the Lions must look elsewhere to fill
those roles.
The 29-year-old Kearse and de-
fensive tackle Darius Kilgo were
placed on injured reserve Satur-
day, and coach Matt Patricia con-
firmed quarterback Tom Savage is
in the concussion protocol after hit-
ting his head on the turf on a sack
during New England’s 31-3 thump-
ing of Detroit.
The Lions reacted by signing
quarterback Josh Johnson and run-
ning back Justin Stockton.
Detroit did receive some good
injury news as defensive end Trey
Flowers, who signed a five-year
deal for $90 million in the offsea-
son, was activated from the physi-
cally unable to perform list.
Kearse was blocking on a run-
ning play by Ty Johnson when a
New England player landed on him
from behind. It was the fifth play
from scrimmage during the game,
which starting receivers Marvin
Jones Jr., Kenny Golladay and Dan-
ny Amendola sat out.
While the stretcher was called
and an air cast was placed on Ke-
arse’s left leg, Patricia’s own inju-
ry prevented him from being out
there.
Patricia was immobile on the
sideline because of an offseason
lower-leg surgery, perched high on
a platform of exercise boxes near
midfield, back several feet from the
sideline.
Kearse’s injury creates an oppor-
tunity for receivers down the depth
chart, such as Chris Lacy and Tom
Kennedy, who caught touchdown
passes late at practice Saturday in
full squad work.
Undrafted rookie Jonathan Du-
hart of Old Dominion also caught
passes on consecutive plays, includ-
ing a toe-tapper near the sideline,
firing up his offensive teammates.
Titans’ Pro

clears PUP list
By TERESA M. WALKER

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
— The Tennessee Ti-
tans eagerly welcomed
four-time Pro Bowl de-
fensive tackle Jurrell
Casey to training camp,
even though he didn’t
stick around too long
past individual drills.
No need for the Ti-
tans’ reigning sack lead-
er to push too hard on

like I haven’t been out

Casey said Saturday. “I
know it’s not been that
long, but it definitely
feels like it. But to get it
back out there and just
get back moving around,
get a little bit more con-
fidence moving around,
it definitely was a good
first day.”
The Titans an-
nounced before the
11th practice of camp a
handful of roster moves,
the biggest that Casey
passed his physical after
starting on the physical-
ly unable to perform list.
Fellow defensive line-
man DaQuan Jones said
it was awesome to have
Casey back.
“He’s one of the
league’s best D tackles,”
Jones said. “To have
him back out there hav-
ing the energy back out
there, having his lead-
ership back out there
means a lot to the team.”
A Pro Bowl lineman
each of the past four sea-
sons, Casey was placed
on injured reserve after
hurting a knee Dec. 22
in the fourth quarter of a
25-16 win over Washing-
ton. He led the Titans
with seven sacks and a
career-high 50 quarter-
back pressures last sea-
son in his first year of
coordinator Dean Pees’
defense. Casey also
ranks eighth in fran-
chise history with 46 ca-
reer sacks.
A third-round pick
out of Southern Cal in
2011, Casey has had six
straight seasons with at
least five sacks. He’s had
at least two sacks in nine
games in his career.
“An athletic, disrup-
tive presence, knowl-
edgeable,” Titans coach
Mike Vrabel said of Ca-
sey. “He’s instinctive,
played a lot of different
positions for us and just
excited to get him back
and start working with
him.”
After spending the
entire offseason recov-
ering, Casey said he
tried not to think about
his knee once prac-
tice started Saturday.
Teammates told him he
looked pretty smooth,
though Casey said his
legs felt a bit heavy as
he starts working him-
self back into football
shape without pushing
too hard.
“That’s always the
smart case, especial-
ly this early on getting
back out there you don’t
want to push it too hard
where you can re-dam-
age something or do
something stupid,” Ca-
sey said. “The whole
mindset is to get back
out there and move
around as much as I can
and let the drills and
let the coaches ease me
back in as much as they
want.”
Casey has been
working his way back
alongside the Titans’
first-round pick, defen-
sive lineman Jeffery
Simmons. The 19th pick
overall in April has been
recovering after tearing
his left ACL in a Febru-
ary workout. Casey said
the benefit has been him
being able to show the
rookie techniques and
give Simmons tips.
He credited Sim-
mons with pushing him
through his own rehabil-
itation and in the weight
room. Casey also thinks
Titans coaches need to
tell Simmons to slow
down a bit with the rook-
ie needs to be reminded
he’s not yet at the recov-
ery stage that the veter-
an is.
“I think when he gets
out there, he’s going
to be ready to go full
speed,” Casey said.
Notes: The Titans
also placed rookie line-
backer D’Andre Walk-
er, a fifth-round draft
pick out of Georgia, on
injured reserve. They
waived wide receiver
Jalen Tolliver, along
with linebacker Riley
Bullough and offensive
tackle Cody Conway,
who were both hurt
Thursday night in their
27-10 exhibition win at
Philadelphia. ... They
agreed to terms with RB
Akeem Hunt, DE Eric
Cotton, WR DeAngelo
Yancey and LB Ukeme
Eligwe.

Saban: Alabama freshman RB Trey Sanders ‘out
indefinitely’
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama coach Nick Saban says
freshman running back Trey Sanders is “out indefinitely” with
a foot injury.
Saban said Saturday the injury will require surgery. He
did not provide further details.
Saban says defensive tackle DJ Dale will likely miss
about a week with a sprained knee. Linebacker Joshua
McMillon also sustained “a potential knee injury.”
Sanders was rated the nation’s No. 6 overall prospect and
top running back in the 247Sports composite rankings.
He was likely to contend for playing time behind Najee
Harris, with Brian Robinson also returning to the backfield.
Depth could become an issue for the Crimson Tide,
which had to replace leading rusher Damien Harris and first-
round NFL draft pick Josh Jacobs.
Alabama also has freshman running back Keilan Robin-
son and redshirt freshman Jerome Ford.

Reed takes 1-shot lead Wheeler, Dupree help Fever

at FedEx Cup opener hand Dream 9th straight loss
By DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press
JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Patrick Reed is
finally being rewarded with good scores,
and he hopes it can be enough to turn
around his season.
He is winless in the last
16 months dating to the
2018 Masters.
He hasn’t missed the
Tour Championship in
five years, and started
the FedEx Cup playoffs at
No. 50, leaving him little Reed
room for a bad week. He
is in danger of being left
off a U.S. team for the first time since his
rookie season in 2013.
Reed put himself in position to change
his outlook Saturday with a 4-under 67,
giving him a one-shot lead over Abra-
ham Ancer of Mexico going into the final
round of The Northern Trust.
“It’s close and it feels good,” Reed
said. “Feels like this has been coming
for some time, and now it’s just go out
and stick to the game plan tomorrow and
hopefully Sunday we have a chance to
win the golf tournament.”
Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth,
playing in the final group, lost ground on
a blustery day at Liberty National.
Johnson, twice a winner of this FedEx
Cup playoffs opener, didn’t make a bird-
ie until the 10th hole, and then saw his
round fall apart with four bogeys over
the last six holes for a 74 that dropped
him five shots behind.
Spieth began his round by hitting his
tee shot into the water, lost ground and
momentum with a sloppy double bogey
— his first of the week — from the fair-
way on No. 7 and recorded only two bird-
ies in his round of 74. It was his second
straight Saturday swoon, and this one
could be costly. He is No. 69 in the Fe-
dEx Cup, and a strong finish this week
could help salvage his season with a trip
to East Lake for the FedEx Cup finale.
He still has one round left and a big
crowd in front of him.
Reed was at 14-under 199 and will be
paired in the final group with Ancer, who
had a 68 as he tries to deliver good golf at
the right time.
Ancer, who won the Australian Open
late last year, is No. 67 in the FedEx Cup.

victory over

on Satur-
day, becom-

Canadian
Andreescu
in 50 years
to make the
women’s final.
The 19-year-old An-
dreescu, from nearby
Mississauga, will face
Serena Williams on Sun-
day.
Canadians Faye Urban
and Vicki Berner played
in the 1969 final, with Ur-
ban winning the tourna-
ment that was played on
clay and called the Cana-
dian Open.
“For sure there’s some
pressure, but I have noth-
ing to lose, really,” An-
dreescu said. “We’ll see
how it goes. I’m just going
to try and stay in the pres-
ent moment.”
Williams beat Czech
qualifier Marie Bouzkova
1-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the second
semifinal.
The 37-year-old Wil-
liams is ranked 10th and
seeded eighth in her first
event since losing the
Wimbledon final. She won
in 2001, 2011 and 2013 —
all in Toronto — and has a
tournament-record 34 vic-
tories in 38 matches. The
American won the last of
her 72 singles titles in the
2017 Australian Open.
Andreescu is return-
ing from a right shoulder
injury that sidelined her
since the French Open in
May. She won in Indian
Wells in March for her
first WTA Tour title.
“Just with all that I’ve
been through. The past
couple of months have
been so, so, so, so tough,”
Andreescu said. “Just be-
ing able to be here right
now is truly incredible.”
Backed by a vocal sell-
out crowd, Andreescu
beat Kenin on her fifth
match point, avoiding a
third set for the first time
in the tournament. An-
dreescu had three chanc-
es to finish the semifinal
before the second set
went to a tiebreaker, but
the American fought back
each time.
Andreescu finally
sealed the match on a
backhand winner. She

to Rogers Cup final
The Associated Press
MONTREAL — Top-seeded defend-

night when Gael Monfils of France with-
drew before their semifinal.
Nadal will face eighth-seeded Daniil
Medvedev, a 6-1, 7-6 (6) winner over
sixth-seeded Karen Khachanov in the
all-Russian first semifinal.
Monfils, seeded 16th, outlasted
10th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut of

Cindric wins at Mid-Ohio for second straight Xfinity victory

By CRAIG MERZ
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ohio — Aus-
tin Cindric raced to his second
straight NASCAR Xfinity Se-
ries victory Saturday, holding
off Christopher Bell at Mid-
Ohio Sports Car Course.
The 20-year-old Cindric won
for the first time in the series
last week on the road course at
Watkins Glen.
“To get my first two wins
within a week is incredible,” he
said. “To win on a road course
like this obviously gives you a
lot of confidence.”
Driving the Team Penske
No. 22 Ford, Cindric finished
3.780 seconds ahead of Bell’s
Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
A.J. Allmendinger, driving
a Chevy for the northeast-Ohio
based Kaulig Racing was third,
10.290 seconds behind.
Points leader Tyler Reddick
of Richard Childress Racing
was fourth. His lead is 28 points
over Bell.
Bell was happy to have back-
to-back road courses behind
him while still being able to
stay close to Reddick.
“Road-course racing is obvi-
ously not my strong suit,” Bell
said. “To get out of here and
maintain points is good for us.”
Cindric, the pole-sitter for a
second straight year, took the
lead from Chase Briscoe on
Lap 63 in the second turn, or
keyhole, with an outside move.
Cindric led 47 of the 75 laps on
the 13-turn, 2.258 mile course.
He is the son of Team Penske
President Tim Cindric and the
grandson of the former track
owner, the late Jim Trueman,
who was the car owner when
Bobby Rahal won the 1986 Indi-
anapolis 500.
Cindric said his family would
vacation at Mid-Ohio and he’s
dreamt of winning there.
“I’ve had four or five poles
here over my career here and
never won on anything I’ve
driven so it feels awesome,” he
said. “It’s cool because there’s
probably kid out there watch-
ing the corners wanting to be
a race car driver some day and
that was me 10, 12 years ago
watching the corners, running
around, playing in the grass,
doing whatever you want, get-
ting a hot dog.”
A native of Columbus, about
60 miles to the south, Cindric
led 59 laps last year but was
passed by Justin Allgaier with
three laps to go and finished
second.
Briscoe in the Biagi-Den-
Beste Racing Ford won the first
20-mile stage when Cindric
made his first stop on Lap 18.
Cindric stalled coming out of
the pit and was 14th through
the stage but after everyone
pitted, he was second to Bell by
Lap 22.
James Hawksworth won the
second 20-mile stage.
The restart on Lap 37 result-
ed in another caution before
Turn 3 when Allgaier lost his
grip and spin, creating a chain
reaction for several cars around
him.
“We had good position and
spun ourselves out of track po-
sition,” Allgaier said. “We just
didn’t have the raw speed to get
around, That’s the frustrating
thing. We held pace all day.”
While that was happening,
Hawksworth made a pass on
Bell just before the caution and
moved into first and claimed
the stage under caution.
Hawksworth in his first se-
ries race was 15th.

NASCAR drivers pushing limits on track, pointing fingers

By LARRY LAGE with Ryan Newman for the 16th and final

Hill closes NASCAR Trucks Series

The Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Mich. — NASCAR Cup
Series drivers are pushing limits on the
track and pointing fingers off it as ten-
sions rise with just four races left before
the playoffs.
Kyle Busch was summoned to the
NASCAR hauler at Michigan Interna-
tional Speedway to talk with officials
along with William Byron and Bubba
Wallace after sparring with both drivers
at Watkins Glen.
Scott Miller, NASCAR’s senior vice
president of competition, said he had
conversations with Jimmie Johnson and
Ryan Blaney about their on- and off-the-
track feud that has lasted nearly a week.
Miller said he didn’t attempt to bring
Johnson and Blaney together to hash out
their differences.
“I think they’re man enough to sort
that one out between themselves,” Mill-
er said in an interview with The Associ-
ated Press on Saturday. “The other stuff
with the other drivers kind of escalated
a little bit to more retaliation.”
Brad Keselowski won the poll and
will start Sunday in front of Kevin Har-
vick, Byron, Alex Bowman, Clint Bow-
yer and Chase Elliott in the Consumers
Energy 400.
Busch, the points leader, will begin
24th in the 38-car field.
Johnson qualified 12th and is desper-
ately hoping to be in the 16-driver play-
offs. The seven-time champion is tied
spot in the playoffs. Since the series cre-
ated the postseason format 15 years ago,
Johnson has earned a spot each time.
Aggressive driving has always been,
and will always be, a part of auto racing
because competitive drivers compete
for every inch of track position at high
speed with high stakes.
When drivers are asked what’s fair
and what crosses the line on the track,
they defer to NASCAR to provide defin-
itive answers.
Miller, meanwhile, acknowledged he
can’t really answer the question.
“Everybody wants to know. We would
like to know as well,” Miller said, sitting
outside the NASCAR hauler. “It’s one of
those things where every incident like
that, you have to take into the context of
what it is. It’s almost like when your kids
act up, every situation is not the same.
That’s kind of the way it is with the driv-
ers and the situations.”
While it is rare in the series, NA-
SCAR can suspend drivers.
“We’ve sat people down,” Miller said.
“It’s a hard line to draw.”
NASCAR hasn’t done that for Cup
races since suspending Matt Kenseth
for two races in 2015 for wrecking Joey
Logano in an act of retaliation that car-
ried heavy championship consequences.
It doesn’t appear that any of the re-
cent spats will lead to harsh penalties
unless they escalate out of control.
Johnson wants Blaney to apologize
for making contact from behind going

The Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Austin Hill
hopes he’s getting his groove back just
in time to make a run at winning the
NASCAR Truck Series championship.
“We wanted to put a good stamp on
the end of the regular season, going
into the playoffs,” he said.
Hill held off Sheldon Creed to win at
Michigan International Speedway on
Saturday, earning his second victory
of the year and his first since the sea-
son-opening race at Dayton.
“We really wanted to win this one
because we’ve been in a slump,” he
said.
The playoffs begin Thursday night
at Bristol Motor Speedway with Brett
into a turn, leading to him spin out last
Sunday at Watkins Glen. Blaney insisted
he’s not going to say sorry and NASCAR
officials seem to be on his side.
Likewise, Busch has a different take
than Byron and Wallace after making
contact with both drivers in NASCAR’s
previous Cup race.

against Byron. Later, Busch retaliat-

“We’re going to have a ton of confi-
dence,” Hill said.
Creed and Tyler Dippel followed
Hill, leaving them out of the eight-driv-
er field . Both had a shot to earn a
spot in the playoffs with a win at MIS.
Creed came close, finishing just 0.125
seconds behind Hill.
Hill was out front when the race
resumed with two laps left following
a nine-car crash and didn’t relinquish
the lead.

ed by knocking Byron into the grass.
Byron’s crew chief Chad Knaus told
the 21-year-old Byron not to be pushed
around by Busch and he responded by
ramming into the back of the former se-
ries champion’s car.
In the same race, Wallace spun Bus-
ch. Later, they banged each other while
racing before Wallace had the last tap,
turning Busch around entering a turn.

Women’s Amateur Championship Pan Am Games

Valenzuela to Face Ruffels in Third All- US fencing medalist Imboden

International U.S. Women’s Amateur Final

WEST POINT — Albane Valenzuela

players who are standouts at American
universities, will square off in Sunday’s 36-
hole final of the 119th U.S. Women’s Am-

Valenzuela, 21, of Switzerland, a rising

The Associated Press
LIMA, Peru — Olympic fencing
medalist Race Imboden took a knee
in protest during his team’s foil med-
al ceremony at the Pan American
Games.
The American knelt during the na-
tional anthem at the medal ceremony
Friday to protest racial and social in-
justice. He won a bronze medal in the
individual men’s foil event and then
took gold in the team competition with
Gerek Meinhardt and Nick Itkin.
“This week I am honored to repre-
sent Team USA at the Pan Am Games,
taking home Gold and Bronze,” Im-
boden said on Twitter. “My pride how-
ever has been cut short by the multiple
shortcomings of the country I hold so
dear to my heart. Racism, Gun Con-

the team bronze medal.
“Every athlete competing at the
2019 Pan American Games commits to

final end in the semifinals for the second
time in five years. The first came in 2014
as a 15-year-old.
An overnight storm brought nearly 2
inches of rain to the course, making the
6,425-yard layout play even longer and
more difficult, especially when shots
found the 2½-inch deep bermudagrass
rough.
But the grind of the long week perhaps
had more of an effect on the competitors
as none of the four duplicated their birdie
fest of the previous day.
Valenzuela, who played bogey-free
golf in her quarterfinal win over Aneka
Seumanutafa, built an early 3-up lead on
Ganne, a four-time Drive, Chip & Putt na-
tional finalist, winning the par-5 second
with a par and the par-4 fourth with a bo-
gey. Then she started to struggle on the
greens, three-putting the sixth green —
she lipped out a 4-footer — to lose the hole
and missing a 7-footer for birdie on No. 9,
eventually losing the hole when Ganne
converted from 4 feet.
Ganne, however, showed no quit after
Valenzuela regained her 2-up advantage
on 12, thanks to a winning par. Two down
with five to play, Ganne drove the 236-
yard, par-4 14th hole and converted the
12-foot eagle putt and followed up those
heroics with an up-and-down birdie from
the pine straw on the par-5 15th hole, near-
ly holing out the 50-yard pitch-and-run.
“That was probably the highlight of
my week just because that’s what you play
these events for,” said Ganne, a product
of The First Tee of Essex County (N.J.).
“Pars are nice, but when you get under
pressure and people are watching and
you’re in a match and you’re down and you
pull off just two incredible shots like that,
it really just feels good, and you can hold
on to those memories for a long time.”
On the par-3 17th, Ganne’s tee shot
landed underneath the lip of a greenside
bunker and she was forced to take an
unplayable lie. She eventually conceded
Valenzuela’s birdie to go 1 down heading
to the closing hole.
But the 18th hole, a par 4 that sharp-
ly doglegs left around a large pond, had
been good to Ganne all week. She won
the hole against 2019 U.S. Women’s Open
low amateur Gina Kim in a 1-up, Round-
of-64 victory on Wednesday. The next day,
she birdied the hole to extend the match
against Bentley Cotton (19-hole win) and
then won the hole again in the Round of 16
that afternoon against No. 64 seed Emily
Hawkins, eventually winning in 20 holes.
On Saturday, she would win it again,
this time with a conceded birdie when
Valenzuela failed to get up and down for
par from greenside rough after her ap-
proach nearly found the penalty area.
Ganne had stuffed her approach to 6 feet.
Valenzuela, a veteran of 11 major cham-
pionships (she shared low-amateur hon-
ors in the Evian Championship two weeks
ago) and the 2016 Summer Olympics (T-
21), composed herself walking to the 10th
tee, the first extra hole.
“I told myself, do not regret this,” said
Valenzuela. “Do not let it slip off your
hands. You have control over it. And even
when you start feeling a little nervous, I’m
like, I want this. I wanted to go to the fi-
nals, and so that’s what you need to do to
go to the finals is make birdie.”
Valenzuela made herself a prophet.
She drained a 10-foot birdie putt and then
watched Ganne miss left from 8 feet to se-
cure the victory.
“A win is a win,” said Valenzuela, who
played the equivalent of 1-under-par golf,
with the usual match-play concessions. “I

“I’ve never played a 36-hole final but

fellow Australian Doey Choi in the North

Notable
The two semifinals winners are now ex-
empt into the 2020 U.S. Women’s Open at
Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas.
The champion can play the Women’s Open
as an amateur or professional, but the run-
ner-up must be an amateur.
The start of the semifinals was pushed
back 30 minutes due to the course receiv-
ing nearly 2 inches of rain from Friday’s
storm.
Both semifinal losers, Andrea Lee and
Megha Ganne, received bronze medals.
For the 19th time in the last 25 playings
of the U.S. Women’s Amateur, the cham-
pionship match will feature at least one
international player. Since 1995, the only
years that had all-American finals were
2000, 2002, 2004, 2009, 2010 and 2015.
Some might think 13 to be an unlucky
number. Not so for finalist Albane Valenzu-
ela. The 21-year-old was the No. 13 seed
for match play when she reached the final
match in 2017 at San Diego Country Club
before losing to Sophia Schubert, 6 and 5.
And the Stanford University senior earned
the same seed this year. Now she is hoping
for better luck in the championship match.
Gabriela Ruffels may never be allowed
in Palo Alto, Calif., after dispatching her
second Stanford player of the week. She
beat incoming freshman Brooke Seay, 6
and 5, in the Round of 16, and Andrea Lee
on Saturday. She gets a third Cardinal on
Sunday.
University of Southern California
coach Justin Silverstein is serving as Ruf-
fels’ caddie. Valenzuela has her brother,
Alexis, on the bag, just like in 2017 and
at other major events. Alexis qualified for
this year’s U.S. Junior Amateur, but didn’t
make match play.
Valenzuela’s father, Alberto, flew in
from the Bahamas, where the family
now resides, for the semifinals. He is a
former standout player at UCLA. In an
ironic twist, Ruffels’ mother, Anna-Ma-
ria, won a national collegiate singles title
for crosstown rival USC, the same school
her daughter attends. Gabriela’s father,
Ray, was the 1978 Wimbledon and US
Open mixed doubles runner-up with hall-
of-famer Billie Jean King. He also won an
Australian Open doubles title and was a
three-time Australian Open semifinalist
in singles.

casual sightseeing; the tour was part
of a concerted effort to attract a new
generation of doctors to rural areas
struggling with health care shortag-
es.
The Quillen College of Medicine
at East Tennessee State University
is among a small group of medical
schools across the U.S. with pro-
grams dedicated to bolstering the
number of primary care doctors in
rural communities.
The schools send students to live
in small towns and train with rural
doctors. Like Quillen, some also or-
ganize outings and cultural experi-
ences to try to sell students on living
there after they graduate.
Schools have taken students to a
ranch to brand cattle, brought in an
Appalachian story teller and catered
local delicacies to show students
who may have never lived without
the convenience of a Starbucks or
Target what rural life offers.
“It’s a little sense of what the
fun part of rural life can be,” said
Dr. Dana King, chair of the family
medicine department at West Vir-
ginia University School of Medicine,
where students in the rural track go
to a ski resort, visit a coal mine and
go whitewater rafting.
At the University of Colorado
School of Medicine, students can
meet with the mayor, police chief
idea about what goes into the work-
ings of a small community,” said Dr.
Mark Deutchman, director of the
school’s rural track.
Most of the more than 7,000 facil-
ities, population groups and areas in
the U.S. facing a shortage of primary
care physicians — often a patient’s
first point of contact for treatment
— are rural, according to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services. They need nearly 4,000 ad-
ditional physicians to close the gap.
Most of the students who came
to Quillen did not grow up or attend
school in rural areas, but all ex-
pressed an interest in working with
underserved populations, rural pro-
grams coordinator Carolyn Sliger
said.
The students spent three weeks
with doctors in rural towns in east-
ern Tennessee and a week in June
exploring the region. After the mu-
seum tour, they visited a war memo-
rial with an eternal flame and hulk-
ing U.S. military attack helicopter.
CLAYTON, Mo. — On the fifth anniversary
of Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson, his father
urged St. Louis County’s top prosecutor Friday
to reopen the investigation into the white police
officer who fatally shot the black and unarmed
18-year-old.
Before a memorial service in the Ferguson
street where a white police officer fatally shot
his son on Aug. 9, 2014, Michael Brown Sr. ad-
dressed reporters outside of the St. Louis Coun-
ty Justice Center in the St. Louis suburb of Clay-
ton.
“Justice has not been served,” Brown, 41, said
as he was flanked by about three dozen support-
ers. “My son deserved to live a full life. But a
coward with a badge ... chose not to value his
life.
“My son was murdered in cold blood, with no
remorse and no medical treatment,” said Brown,
who has never accepted the officer’s claim that
he had acted in self-defense.

Trump: Kim wants to meet again, apologized for missile tests

By JILL COLVIN
The Associated Press
B E R K E L E Y
HEIGHTS, N.J. — Presi-
dent Donald Trump said
Saturday that North Ko-
rea’s Kim Jong Un wants
to meet once again to
“start negotiations” after
joint U.S.-South Korea
military exercises end.
He also said Kim apolo-
gized for the flurry of re-
cent short-range missile
tests that has rattled U.S.
allies in the region.
Trump is tweeting
more details from the
“beautiful” three-page
letter he told reporters on
Friday that he’d received
from Kim. Trump, who is
on vacation at his golf club
in New Jersey, said Kim
spent much of his letter
complaining about “the
ridiculous and expensive
exercises,” which North
Korea sees as a threat.
He said Kim offered
him “a small apology”
for the recent tests and
assured him “that this
testing would stop when
the exercises end.” North
Korea on Saturday fired
what appeared to be two
short-range ballistic mis-
siles into the sea, accord-
ing to South Korea’s mil-
itary — the fifth round
of launches in less than
three weeks.
“I look forward to see-
ing Kim Jong Un in the
not too distant future!”
Trump wrote.

Larry Priest demonstrates a bird release on Wednesday at his home in Columbus. He has been releasing doves at weddings, funerals and other events across
the state for more than 20 years. He also breeds doves and raises them along with his half-dozen or so chickens, three turkeys, two dogs and a horse.

Dove release coordinator trains, releases birds statewide

‘If I do a release in Aberdeen,
they could be home in less than
three hours. They’re really good
navigators if it’s light out.’
Larry Priest
BY AMANDA LIEN
alien@cdispatch.com

L
arry Priest loves living in nature.
His home — backed by woods and grass
with the Luxapalila River “practically in my
front yard” — is his sanctuary. There he can fo-
cus on his many artistic pursuits: woodcrafting,
jewelry-making, singing and songwriting. He
also has plenty of room for the animals he loves,
the half-dozen or so chickens, three turkeys,
two dogs and horse that roam free in the gated
pastures on his property.
He also loves it because it’s a safe place for his
doves to return.
“There’s something special about being
out here,” he said, holding a young male dove
carefully in his hands. “They always know where
to come back to and they know I’m not going
to hurt them. They trust me. And I take care of
them.”
He turned the dove slightly to the side,
peering down at the small metal band dangling
around its ankle. “Number 600,” he reads. “I’ve
been doing this a long time.”
For more than 20 years, Priest has worked
with his doves as a release coordinator, setting
them free at weddings, funerals, memorial
services and special holidays such as Easter.
Although he began as a one-man company called
“Angel’s Wings,” he now only accepts clients
based on word-of-mouth and does no advertising.
Even so, his roster is full. He has a waiting list
for Easter Sunday every year and many church-
es and other venues reserve him and his doves
months in advance.
“I’m busy most Saturdays,” he said. “There
are 52 weeks in a year and I’m ...” He pauses for a
minute to calculate. “Yeah, I probably do close to
100 or 200 a year.”
Priest releases doves in certain ways depend-
ing on the event. He said his most popular releas-
es are the Trinity — three doves representing
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit — and a single
dove released during a funeral service.
“If their spouse was also deceased, sometimes
I’ll release two,” he said. “I just think it’s some-
thing that makes people feel a little better about
the whole thing. When they leave a funeral,
they’re talking about the doves. Maybe it makes
it a little easier.”
Priest said that, although dove releases make
him decent money, he doesn’t take it too serious-
ly. It’s why he doesn’t advertise.
“It’s just a hobby,” he said. “Some people hunt
for fossils or make jewelry. I do that too, but it’s
all just something to do in my old age.”
ABOVE: Larry Priest
demonstrates how to hold
a dove as he prepares to
release it. He first learned
how to train birds as a Boy
Scout, and his first time
releasing doves was at his
stepson’s wedding. LEFT:

“We began conversa-

on how to formalize film
studies and design its
core courses,” she said.
Spain explained that,
“Students will learn to see
how images make mean-
ing, how the very subtle
and deliberate choices of
filmmakers and artists af-
fect us, and how powerful
working and thinking in
images can be.”
She said the film
studies courses will help
students discover how
film techniques transform
stories told on various
platforms, from video
games, websites and
social media to novels or
films.
“The structure is
from categories of classes
that best relate to their
interests and major field
of study,” said Melanie

the collaboration.
In addition to this,
MSU students interested

Dear Abby

D
EAR ABBY: For most of my
life I searched for my biolog-
ical father. My mother had
many relationships throughout her
life, and I was the result of a one-
night stand. I have a half-brother
who is the result of another failed
relationship. My mother finally
married a man who raised us
as his own and gave us his last
name. However, Mom wouldn’t
tell me or my brother who our real
fathers were.
Over the years I questioned my
mother about him, but she would
give only sketchy details and sent
me down many dead-end trails.
After she became terminally ill,
I continued asking her for the truth, but she
wouldn’t budge. My guess is she was ashamed
of her past and couldn’t bear to tell me, or was
afraid my real dad would take me
away from her.
Two years ago, I took an online
DNA test and amazingly found my
biological father. From the time
I made contact, he and my new
brothers have accepted me and my
family and given us unconditional
love. I like to say I hit the “family
jackpot.”
Over the last two years I have
wanted to change my last name,
but I’m afraid to make the leap. I
have a half-brother on my mother’s
side with whom I share my step-
Dear Abby father’s last name. Many times I
wanted to ask for his permission/
blessing, but I’m worried he will get
angry and never speak to me again. I know he
will think I am abandoning him if I do this. Am I
selfish for wanting this name change, or should I
seek to set the record straight? — RECLAIMING
MY NAME IN INDIANA
DEAR RECLAIMING: You certainly have a right
to change your name to the one that reflects
your identity. But since you asked, I think you
should wait to “set the record straight.” Your
stepfather took you into his home and his heart
and gave you his name, and to change it now
would be a poor way to repay his love and kind-
ness. It might lessen the blow if you discuss hy-
phenating your last name. After he is gone, you
could shorten the name to your birth father’s.
DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law has a key to
my house. I didn’t give it to her. We left a key
under the mat one day so she could get in to
pick up something because I wasn’t going to be
home when she arrived. I asked my husband
to get the key back, but he is uncomfortable
asking.
She and my father-in-law have been in our
house twice more in our absence. We were out
of town, and we were shocked to hear they had
entered our home without asking. It was almost
sneaky the way they did it, and when I talked
to my husband about it, he was upset as well
and took his anger out on me. It ruined our day
traveling. We didn’t speak the entire two-hour
trip back home.
I asked my mother-in-law via text to please
let us know when she was entering the house
due to privacy and that I was not trying to hurt
her feelings. She’s now upset with me and says
she doesn’t know when she will visit us again. I
am tired of being the second fiddle to her. Am I
overreacting? It seems I can’t win with this! —
KEYED UP IN ALABAMA
DEAR KEYED UP: This is not a matter of play-
ing second fiddle or any other instrument. Your
husband should ask his mother for the key back.
By doing this now, it will establish your indepen-
dence. If he can’t find the courage to insist upon
the privacy you both deserve, change the locks.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 11).
Simple things you do to feel good and
care of yourself will make the biggest
contribution to your happiness this
year. Also, there’s a surprise turn at
year-end -- a detour that corrects for
flaws in the map. Thank your lucky
stars for incomplete information.
Without it, you’d never find out how
clever and creative you can be.
Pisces and Gemini adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 7, 5, 39, 10 and
42.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In
a high-functioning relationship, you
don’t have to test the other person’s
loyalty. You know it’s there. If you find
yourself edging toward playing psy-
chological games, ask yourself why.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
When the help you get isn’t the help
you need, it’s not really help. But
it’s something -- an interaction to be
grateful for, an experiment, a con-
nection, a reason to keep reaching
out in hope.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
“you” on the surface is doing a
different dance than the “you” in the
depths wants to participate in. Once
you reconcile the discord, life will
flow smoothly.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There’s a conflict. The responsi-
bility you feel toward others could
encroach on the responsibility you
have to do what’s right for you. Truly,
you’re not doing anyone favors by
selling yourself short.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To
withhold approval or affection until
someone does what you want might
work in the short term, but it’s a
style that will ultimately backfire.
You’ll have success with an honest
and direct style of communication.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s
a strange thing to fully possess your
world when you know it will not be
the same tomorrow. To embrace the
evanescent is foolish, desperate,
impossible and the most beautiful
way to live.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
don’t have to win the lottery or the
community bingo game to be happy.
Today, your happiness will have to
do with helping another person out
in a way that a lottery/bingo winner
probably wouldn’t have thought to.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’re wide awake and taking in so
much today, some of which you’re
not even aware of and won’t fully
process or find a use for until years
have passed.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). If you have to change yourself
constantly in order to make things
work, maybe they don’t. And wheth-
er it’s you or them doesn’t matter.
Go find a better fit. You deserve the
best fit that’s out there for you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You’re great at keeping track
of whom you owe and less great
at keeping track of who owes you.
Because giving more than you get
is your version of being square with
the world, good fortune will befall
you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You know you’re with like minds
when you don’t have to choose be-
tween being right and being happy.
Lively conversational agreement will
be part of the fun today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The roadblock in your path is put
there by the fearful. They are afraid
that if you cross into their territo-
ry, you’ll challenge their ability to
control and manage what goes on
there. It’s a legitimate concern. This
is your time.

Mr. and Mrs. Garry D. Conn of Natchez announce
the engagement of their daughter, Mary Amelia Conn
of Natchez, to William Keith Bryant Jr. of Steens, son
of Mr. and Mrs. William Keith Bryant Sr. of Steens.
The bride-elect is the granddaughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Robert L. Netterville of Natchez, the late
Mrs. Mary Lou Ingle and the late Mr. Doyle W. Conn,
both of Alexandria, Louisiana.
She is a 2019 graduate of the University of Missis-
sippi, where she received a general studies degree in
anthropology, sociology and mathematics.
The prospective groom is the grandson of Mr. and
Mrs. Leslie Baucom of Steens, and Mrs. Linda Ful-
gham of West Point.
He is a 2018 graduate of the University of Missis-
sippi, where he received a business degree in risk
management and insurance.
The couple will exchange vows on Oct. 12, 2019, at
Brandon Hall Plantation in Natchez.
W
hether it’s how they’re
made or what they’re
made of, textiles are
evolving to meet consumer de-
mand for sustainability.
“There’s a real push for
sustainability now, and the home
textiles industry is waking up
to that consumer call,” says
Shannon Maher, chair of Home
Products Development at the
Fashion Institute of Technology,
in New York.
It’s about reducing waste
during textile production, she
said, and reusing or recycling
waste to produce other products.

heightened awareness of the
harm plastic does to the environ-
ment, and “are willing to pay 5 or
10 percent more for a sustainable
product as a way of contributing
to the circular economy, and help-
ing the environment,” she says.
Rugs and outdoor fabrics, for
instance, are increasingly being
made with recycled materials
instead of new plastics.
A lot is happening on the
fashion-design front, too, to
explore new, sustainably sourced
and even compostable types of
textiles.
“Companies like Adidas and
Nike are at the cutting edge of
some of these innovations, and

silkworms injected with a green
fluorescent protein derived from

Adidas sneakers made entirely of
ocean plastic; another prototype
of sneakers that would be entirely
compostable; and a textile made
from algae.
“There’s a level of optimism
when you look around and see
designers really taking on the
challenge of all this,” says Andrea
Lipps, a curator at the Cooper
Hewitt who helped organize the
exhibit.

In the garden with Felder

Daylily among most popular plants in the world

W
hat
do
you
think the
most popular
passalong
garden plant
might be,
world-wide?
I’ll give you
a minute to
think about
it. But I’m not Felder Rushing
asking which
one is sold
the most, the one that
people buy every year to
plant, like tomatoes or
marigolds. I’m wonder-
ing about the one most
propagated and shared
between gardeners.
Winnowing down
the list of favorite plants
shared amongst garden-
ers in any region is hard
enough; by continent
it’s even dicier. To be in
contention a plant has to
surpass what I coined as
the Passalong Triarchy:
Attractive, durable, and
share-able.
The most values a
plant has, the more
popular it will be to more
people who will try to
grow it in the first place.
Some universal plant
values include beauty,
fragrance, long flower-
ing, edible, attractive to
pollinators, and historic;
there are others, and the
more the better.
Durable includes
tolerant of a wide range
of soils,
temperatures,
rainfall, and
coddling.
There are
some awfully
popular plants
that are not
easy to grow,
which kicks
them out of
contention;
the easier
a plant is to
grow without
artificial life support,
including freedom from
major insects and diseas-
es, the more people of
different skill levels will
grow it.
But no matter how
popular or valuable a
plant is, and regardless
of its ability to be grown
anywhere by anyone, if it
isn’t easy to share it won’t
go very far. Whether
from seed, division, or
rooted stems, a plant’s
being easy to propagate
ensures its using hu-
mans like bumblebees to
spread it far and wide.
Where this is coming
from, is from having just
submitted a manuscript
to University Press of
Mississippi about garden-
ers who grow everything
they can get their hands
on and gleefully share
them with others. The
book will feature several

dent Gardeners (DIGrs),

my radio program, the
Courtesy photo/Felder Rushing
In my travels I have
met many gardeners like
this and photographed
and made notes of what
all they grow. In the
book, which should be
out early next year, I have
listed the most highly
favored passalong plants
all over the country, by
region, and also those
most popular in England
where I spend part of ev-
ery summer. So naturally
I thought it’d be inter-
esting to find the single
most commonly shared
plant on Earth.
Turns out to be one
that some bored garden-
ers dislike, usually for
its very prevalence. Of
all the plants I have seen
growing from Canada to
Florida and across five
continents, in every kind
of garden from the finest
manors and botanical
gardens to humble cot-
tage gardens and even
in cemeteries, one beats
‘em all: Hemerocallis
fulva — the common
tawny daylily. The
most popular forms are
double-flowered Kwanso
and triple flowered Flore
Pleno which can have up
to 18 petal-like tepals per
flower!
Commonly called
ditch or outhouse lily, the
clump-forming perennial
that spreads by shallow
runners is a mule — a
sterile triploid, meaning
it can’t grow from seed;
every single one you see
is a part of the original
plant, cultivated now
for over three thousand
years.
And on top of all that,
all parts are edible; the
flowers have the same
vitamins as broccoli and
are a lot easier to grow.
To those lip-curlers who
call it a weed, I say “If
you can’t beat it, eat it.”
So, when you see
that ancient ditch lily,
understand that it is,
hands-down, the World’s
Favorite. Like it or not.
