Federal judge fines Columbus couple for smuggling, mislabeling adult novelties
Judgment
included $250K
forfeiture order
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
COLUMBUS — A Co-
lumbus couple has been
sentenced to fines, and
one of them must forfeit
$250,000 in money or
property, after author-
ities say they sold mis-
labeled and smuggled
D. Priest L. Priest
products in their adult
novelty store.
Dean and Luisa Priest,
who are listed as incor-
porators of the business
Sensations on Highway
373, were sentenced to
one year of probation and
must each pay $1,000
fine after pleading guilty
in federal court to selling
mislabeled drugs at the
business. Dean Priest,
who also pleaded guilty
to selling smuggled
products, will forfeit the
$250,000, according to a
separate order entered in
court records. They were
sentenced in Oxford
Monday.
Forfeiture of money
or property is generally
used as part of a penal-
ty when a defendant has
gained monetarily for
a crime, according to
a spokesperson for the
U.S. Attorney’s Office in
the Northern District in
Oxford.
Both Dean and Luisa
Priest pleaded guilty to
selling mislabeled drugs
in April. Dean Priest also
pleaded guilty to receipt,
concealment, purchase
or sale of merchandise
imported into the United
States contrary to law.
The couple was arrest-
ed in 2017 after inves-
tigators from the Food
and Drug Administration
seized hundreds of pills,
as well as invoices, ship-
ping records and other
documents regarding
sales and purchases from
the store.
Court documents say
the Priests introduced
the drugs “New Still
Nights” and “Libigrow”
to the store between May
2015 and June 2017 with-
out properly labeling that
they contained the ingre-
dient sildenafil. Sidenafil
is used to treat erectile
dysfunction (impotence)
in men. The documents
also say Dean Priest
knew the drugs had been
smuggled into the coun-
try illegally.
Sensations, located
near the south gate at Co-
lumbus Air Force Base,
remains open.

Budget
Continued from Page 1A
have to set the millage be-
fore you adopt the budget.
So we’ll have the public
hearing and set the mill-
age on Sept. 5 and should
be able to adopt the bud-
get on Sept. 12.”
The new millage would
increase from 47.59 to
51.24.
Armstrong said the
primary reason for the tax
increase was to account
for debt service, which
will go from $528,868 this
year to $869,727 in 2020,
an increase of $341,000.
For taxpayers, the mill
increase would be rough-
ly $36 dollars annually on
a property valuation of
$100,000.
Even with the tax in-
crease, the city’s revenue
for 2020 would be less
than the current year by
$452,615. The city is pro-
jecting revenue drops in
sales tax and garbage fee
collections.
Based on the prelim-
inary budget presented
Thursday, the city would
see a surplus of $892,922.
“I don’t think, in all
my years, I’ve seen a sur-
plus like this,” Armstrong
said. “I was surprised. I
think the reason is be-
cause of what the mayor
has expressed to y’all
twice with the cutbacks
he proposed and the job
the departments have
done on spending.”
The budget proposal
includes $23,035,335 in
spending, a decrease of
$765,408 compared to the
current budget.
During the meeting,
some department heads
pushed back on budget
items, which they said
was based on the auster-
ity measures — hiring/
wage freezes, travel re-
strictions, etc. — imple-
mented at Mayor Robert
Smith’s request in March,
rather than the actual
needs.
Smith Andrews
Armstrong noted the
budget reflected the cur-
rent spending annualized
to account for the final
three months of the fiscal
year.
Fire Chief Martin An-
drews objected to cuts in
his recommended spend-
ing for uniforms and
supplies, which came in
roughly $58,000 less than
what he recommended,
as well as $22,000 less for
training than he request-
ed.
“I’ll do what you tell
me to do and will make
it work,” Andrews said.
“But this budget is based
on the cuts we made when
the mayor came to us and
asked us to cut back. It
isn’t what we need.”
Smith noted all depart-
ment heads could make a
similar argument.
“You can stand up and
give reasons to justify why
you need the funding, but
so can every department
head,” Smith said. “Your
department is not the only
one to have cuts. I hope
you understand where
we’re coming from. If the
money isn’t there, what
do we do?”
Andrews said in previ-
ous years, the fire depart-
ment has used insurance
rebate money to supple-
ment equipment expens-
es. This year, he said, the
rebate funds will go to
paying off the balance on
the new truck purchased
earlier this year.
“This is the kind of
costs that come with be-
ing a fire department,”
Andrews said.
Other department
heads made similar re-
quests to increase fund-
ing, including the crime
lab, inspection depart-
ment, code enforcement,
public works, garage and
parks/recreation.
Overall, budgets were
cut for 10 of 16 depart-
ments and 12 of 19 bud-
get categories based on
projected current year
spending.
The biggest cuts came
in Administration (by
$640,000, most of which
reflects the city’s decision
to end its agreement with
a health clinic that offered
free care to employees
and dependents), fire de-
partment ($456,715) and
solid waste ($128,172).
Armstrong noted that
some of those cuts re-
flected abnormal spend-
ing that resulted from the
February tornado.
Departments that saw
increases include police
($145,771), Trotter Con-
vention Center ($118,108),
information-technology
($81,987) and streets
($71,522).
Armstrong said the
city would likely hold a
second budget hearing
to address some of the
recommendations from
department heads made
Thursday.

Bulldog Bash

cades, both Cuevas and
Mayor Lynn Spruill said.
“I think it speaks to
the ability of the city and
the university to share in
events and enjoy the town
and gown relationship in a
way that is fun for every-
body,” Spruill said.
The Student Associ-
ation received roughly
$400,000 in 2-percent
restaurant sales tax rev-
enue from the city and
budgeted about $145,000
of that for Bulldog Bash
each of the past two years.
T-Pain was born Fa-
heem Rasheed Najm in
Tallahassee, Florida and
has released six studio
albums since 2005. His
best-known singles in-
clude “Buy U a Drank”
and “I’m ‘n Luv (Wit a
Stripper),” and his best-
known collaborations in-
clude “Blame It” with Ja-
mie Foxx and “Low” with
Flo Rida. He also founded
a record label, Nappy Boy
Entertainment.
“He was always one
of those (artists) that
people would mention
for Bulldog Bash, asking
if he would be possible,
but he was always busy,
or out of our price range,
or not currently making
music or anything of that
nature,” Cuevas said. “So
when we were finally able
to have him come through
and do this event, we im-
mediately saw the oppor-
tunity and took it.”
The festivities will
start about 3 p.m. with a
variety of street vendors
selling goods at the Ma-
roon Market on the por-
tion of Main Street west of
Jackson Street. The first
performance on the main
stage, in the intersection
of Main Street and Jack-
son Street, will be the
winner of MSU’s Battle of
the Bands competition on
Sept. 6 for local musicians
to be the opening act at
Bulldog Bash.

Letters to the editor
Voice of the people
Questions Republican establishment
Reading Slim Smith’s column in the
August 21st Dispatch reminded me of
the Tate Reeves campaign commercial
I’ve seen several times recently. In it,
former governor Haley Barbour and
others tout Mr. Reeves as the best
choice, a true Mississippi conservative
with Mississippi values. Hmmm.
The primary thrust of that commer-
cial is to skewer opponent Bill Waller,
Jr.’s plan to pass an eight cent increase
in the gas tax to pay for the state’s
crumbling roads and bridges and his
willingness to expand Medicaid in an
effort to stave off the failure of even
more rural hospitals in the state and,
as a bi-product, stimulate those local
economies as well as that of the state as
a whole. Reeves, meanwhile, thinks the
$80 million from the new state lottery
will patch the well-known $375 million
annual infrastructure hole and can’t
stomach the thought of expanding Med-
icaid at all. I guess that’s because we’re
doing so darn well in this state.
Ask yourself how well the estab-
lished members of the Republican party
have done over the past 20 years for our
state. Consider how Mississippi stacks
up in state-by-state rankings - what
many already joke about. The Mississip-
pi rankings (vs. #1 in each category):
n median household income: #51 at
just $43,529 in 2017 (#1 - Washington,
D.C., $82,382);
n median per capita income: #52
(list includes US territories, like the
Virgin Islands), $21,036 in 2012 (DC #1

State of the nation
Jews, Israel and loyalty
President
Donald Trump
has opined that
Jewish Ameri-
cans who vote
for Democrats
— as 79% did in
the 2018 mid-
terms — are
demonstrating
“either a total
lack of knowl-
edge or great Mona Charen
disloyalty.” At
first, he didn’t say to whom. An eager
Trump explainer, Matt Brooks of the
Republican Jewish Coalition, leapt to
clarify. The president wasn’t accusing
Jews of disloyalty to America, he said,
nor to Trump himself, but rather “to
themselves.”
That’s artful. Look, lots of people
think other people don’t have a good
grasp on their own self-interest (see,
for example, “What’s the Matter with
Kansas?”). I have often expressed frus-
tration about the political leanings of
my co-religionists. But it’s never a good
idea for a Jewish leader like Brooks
to accept the framing of the matter as
one of loyalty when we are speaking of
Jews. (It doesn’t help that Trump later
said American Jews were being disloyal
to Israel.) Jewish Americans are free to
vote with an eye toward Israel’s welfare
or to ignore it altogether. They can be
religious or secular, liberal or conser-
vative, and, as George Washington
promised in 1790, there “shall be none
to make (them) afraid.” You can write
whole books about why many Jews

New Hampshire are #1 and #2, respec-
tively).
Getting back to infrastructure, a can
the state legislature has more visibly
kicked down the road in recent years,
I would personally be happy to pay the
additional eight cents per gallon, as I
suspect that cost would be more than
offset by savings in insurance and ve-
hicle repair costs. Currently, state res-
idents pay an average of $827 to insure
each vehicle annually, about 50 percent
lower than the $1,265 paid by residents
of New Jersey, the most expensive state.
But median household income in New
Jersey is $80,088 — nearly 100% higher.
Guess who comes out better there.
And there is plenty more like this that
I could cite if space and patience would
permit.
Obviously, the recent Republican es-
tablishment is not entirely to blame for
these statistics. But their tax cuts, etc.
have done precious little for the average
person over the past 20 years — as the
disturbing trend lines in these statistics
have changed little — or gotten worse
— in that time.
While Slim Smith’s opinion column
seems to show that Waller’s proposals
may not be sufficient to finance full
recovery of our infrastructure, either,
they are a step in the right direction.
Leaving aside Trump’s acquiescence to support from
anti-Semites, his Israel policies are not necessarily good
for Israel in the long term. Israel was starting to become
a partisan matter before Trump’s arrival, but he has
supercharged it.
are liberals without suggesting for a
moment that this reflects disloyalty to
anyone or anything. Just say you think
they’re wrong, because the accusa-
tion of disloyalty has a long and ugly
history, as Brooks is well aware. And
ironically, it’s the very thing Rep. Ilhan
Omar has been trafficking in.
Nor is it 100% clear that Trump
wasn’t referring to himself. The day af-
ter accusing Jews of disloyalty, Trump
retweeted the comments of Wayne
Allyn Root, who said of Trump, “ ... like
he’s the King of Israel. They love him
like he is the second coming of God
... But American Jews don’t know him
or like him.” We must await the next
Trump explainer to smooth feathers
and interpret this one (Brooks hasn’t
been heard from), but it seems that
whether you take it literally or figura-
tively, it’s unhinged. It would be differ-
ent if Trump betrayed even a hint of
self-deprecating humor, or so much as
a wink, when he says or repeats these
things. Instead, his bottomless craving
for adulation/worship bursts forth.
Some of my conservative friends
think Trump’s close embrace of Israel
is an unmixed good. They reason that

City finances not adding up for
reader
Sitting through the council meet-
ing this week, listening to the figures
thrown around about cuts and savings
made my head spin. Spreads sheet
were shown on the screen as the mayor
made his presentation, but no hard
copies were given out to the gallery, so
it sounded great but it’s hard to get a
true understanding without the docu-
ments in hand. The new CFO said our
bank accounts were stuffed with cash,
the mayor said over $7 million. Mr.
Crowder stated some months back the
we would have deficit of $338,000 by the
end of the physical year if something
didn’t change. I understand cuts have
been made, city services have been re-
duced, a hiring freeze in our police, fire
and public works departments. The city
has also borrowed $5 million for storm
cleanup hoping the Feds will help.
$100,000 has been spent for a street
light survey, the council voted to spend
$3 million-plus for LED lights, and we
are trying to build a new fire station on
the embassy move to Jerusalem, the
recognition of Israel’s sovereignty on
the Golan Heights and the withdrawal
from the Iran deal outweigh all other
considerations.
I don’t agree. Leaving aside Trump’s
acquiescence to support from an-
ti-Semites, his Israel policies are not
necessarily good for Israel in the long
term. Israel was starting to become a
partisan matter before Trump’s arrival,
but he has supercharged it. And just
as many Democrats and independents
have leaned more toward free trade
in response to Trump’s protection-
ism, there is a danger that some may
become hostile to Israel just because
Trump has made it a political marker.
Benjamin Netanyahu deserves blame
here, too. By tying himself so firmly to
Trump, he is straining the bipartisan
support that Israel has cultivated for 70
years.
The “squad” is really bad on Israel
and anti-Semitism — shamefully so.
But they are outliers in the Democratic
Party. All but 17 members of the House
Democratic Caucus voted to condemn

a shoe string budget.
On top of that, numerous trips have
been paid for a fire department cer-
tification, which has been proven not
to affect for our fire insurance rating
and also not supported by the majority
of the firemen. For those like me that
have been trying to understand what’s
going on, I wonder where the monies
came from to make our finances look
better? Sale tax receipts are up by a
very small amount. We now have $2.7
million in our operating fund which is
a big improvement from the $880,000
deficit some months back. A hiring
freeze, cuts in medical insurance for
city employee and a reduction in public
services have created $2.7 million in op-
erating funds. This seems like a miracle
or fuzzy math.
I only hope things can turn around,
but when we have leaders wanting to
spend without having a plan for paying
for things, it’s just plain scary. If you
haven’t maybe we should pray for our
“Friendly City”.
God Bless America and Columbus.

and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez support.
Even one member of the squad, Ayanna
Pressley, voted against BDS. Forty-one
Democrats just completed a trip to Is-
rael sponsored by the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee.
Trump’s efforts to make Omar and
Tlaib the face of the Democratic Party
undermine efforts by the Democratic
leadership to minimize their influence.
Every time Trump elevates them, espe-
cially when he does so in ways that can
be perceived as racist, he inclines Dem-
ocrats who might have kept them at
arm’s length to rally round them, thus
propelling at least part of the American
electorate into the neighborhood of
anti-Israel extremism.
Trump’s prod to get Israel to exclude
two duly elected members of the U.S.
Congress from visiting Israel was a
twofer. It cemented the image of Ne-
tanyahu as Trump’s obedient puppet,
thus heightening negative partisanship,
and worse, it encouraged Israel to be-
tray its own democratic principles and
traditions. Excluding Tlaib — however
horrible her views and associations
— was a blow to Israel’s standing as
a brave, free nation and a propaganda
victory for Tlaib.
Israel enjoys broad support in the
U.S. for many reasons — historical,
religious, strategic — but undergird-
ing all of those is respect for a fellow
democracy. If Israel is perceived as
anything less, the damage will be far
greater than anything the squad could
manage.

“The Lowndes County
people voted twice for Mr.
Wright,” he said. “And for
y’all to change this is com-
pletely wrong. Y’all are
going against the (will of
the) people. … Personal-
ly, I will be totally against
this board if y’all do this.”
Those who seemed to
oppose Wright’s appoint-
ment did so with more
subtlety. But in the case of
State Rep.-elect Dana Mc-
Lean — who earlier this
month defeated longtime
Rep. Jeff Smith, who also
serves as LCSD’s board
attorney — she openly
advocated for change.
Her comments drew ap-
plause from about half the
crowd.
“I think at some point
it’s time for changes, and
sometimes it’s time for
fresh ideas,” she said. “…
Sometimes, it’s time for
a new vision. I think you
should support teachers
who are in place … and
hire the best teachers
we can. And I think the
new superintendent, or
current superintendent,
needs to support those
ideals.”
The application win-
dow has closed, and
board president Robert
Barksdale said MSBA is
vetting applicant qualifi-
cations and will present a
list of finalists in the com-
ing weeks to the board,
which will then begin
interviews. The board,
Barksdale said, doesn’t
officially know who has
applied outside of Wright.
Under Wright’s lead-
ership, the district has
inched closer each year
to an A accountability rat-
ing from the Mississippi
Department of Educa-
tion, which assigns letter
grade rating to schools
and districts largely
based on end-of-year
exam performance. But
Wright’s leadership has
come under fire for the
district’s $13 million de-
cline in its operating fund
balance since 2014.

integrity, we should be
able to trust him,” Sud-
dith said. “… Everything
we do should be about
the students. They are
our clients, and this is a
business. Our business
wouldn’t run as well as
it does without good em-
ployees looking out for
the good of the students.
“The superintendent
should always put (stu-
dents) first and employ-
ees second. We’ve had su-
perintendents who have
done that in the past, yes,”
she added. “The state has
decided you must appoint
the next superintendent,
and that person should
have these characteris-
tics.”
Still, another teacher
stood up for Wright by
name, saying he had done
an “amazing job.”
“We need heart in our
school, somebody who’s
going to care about our
kids. And Mr. Wright
does,” said Kelly Leon-
ard, who also has two
children who attend New
Hope schools. “As a par-
ent, I want someone in
this office who is going
to care about my child’s
education. I want some-
body who is going to be
cheering my child on all
the way from kindergar-
ten up (to) college. I think
our superintendent we
have now is fine. … Some-
body who has a backbone,
somebody who stands up
for what he believes in,
has heart, somebody who
really, truly cares.”
Leonard then referred
back to McLean’s com-
ments while offering
more support for Wright.
“Fresh ideas are al-
ways nice … but we need
someone who will care
about what these kids are
going through and pick
them up when they fall,”
she said. “We have a cur-
rent superintendent who
does.”
Leonard then yielded
the floor to applause from
about half the crowd, as
well as from board attor-
ney Smith, who visibly
clapped while sitting at
the board table.
Among the other
speakers Thursday were
Katie McCrary, who
asked the board to hire
a superintendent who
would prioritize stability
at the district’s Career
Tech Center; and Sammy
White, a West Lowndes
resident who asked for a
leader who would ensure
all the district’s schools
— and its students —
would be treated fairly
and equally.

Barksdale: Board didn’t
want ‘people bashing
anybody’
Both LCSD board pres-
ident Robert Barksdale
and vice president Brian
Clark said they had hoped
more people would have
signed in to speak, some-
thing the board required
for attendees who wanted
to publicly comment at the
forum.
“I was looking for more
comments from the com-
munity,” Clark said. “I
think we had a pretty good
crowd.”
Barksdale said he is
aware of the two camps
that seemed to have
formed in the public on
whether Wright should
remain, and the board
sought to be respectful of
the process in spite of that
division with Thursday’s
meeting.
He did admit, howev-
er, the two citizens who
endorsed Wright had run
afoul of the board-estab-
lished rules for the meet-
ing, adding he wished
he would have stopped
Weathers’ and that if Leon-
ard “had kept on” he would
have stopped her short.
“I understand some
people want to keep
(Wright) and some peo-
ple may want something
different,” he said. “But
we have a responsibility to
do this (appointment pro-
cess). … This (meeting)
wasn’t something where
we wanted people bashing
anybody.”

Noxubee County looks for win in Shorter’s return

Noxubee will face Louisville tonight at 7 p.m.
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
MACON — For Teddy Young, it’s just
like old times.
Entering his first season as the head
football coach at Noxubee County, he’ll
open his tenure Friday against Tyrone
Shorter and Louisville High School at 7
p.m. Friday night.
Shorter, the longtime coach at Nox-
ubee County, left the school after seven
years at the helm in January — leaving
the spot open to his one time player.
“He always wanted to push you and
wanted the best out of his players,”
Young, who played both middle school
and high school football under Shorter,
said. “That’s why I expect them to come
in well-coached and ready to play.
Young’s Noxubee County team comes
into Friday night’s season opener follow-
ing a 7-6 season a year ago — including a
27-26 loss to Louisville.
“It’s a big rivalry between Noxubee
County and Louisville and I didn’t have to
worry about getting kids up this week,”
Young said through a laugh. “The biggest
thing was just trying to settle them down
and get them mentally prepared.”
Anchored by junior running back
Bobby Shanklin and senior wide receiver
Coby Lockett, the Tigers boast a loaded
skill position group that should aide
senior quarterback Marlon Windham,
who continues his transition over from
linebacker.

to improve the team’s

with a young squad, has
been lacking in spots
this season, Allison Wool-

team “kind of fell apart”
in their loss at Starkville.
“I also put some con-

said. “I told them if the

Having played for two

Stevens walked into the
competition with a vast
knowledge of MSU’s
offensive system.
“When you’re going
into essentially year four
of being a quarterback
you can hit the ground
running and not have
to go in somewhere and
learn something com-
pletely new,” Moorhead
said. “I think it made the
transition a lot quicker.”
Following the depar-
ture of incumbent starter
Nick Fitzgerald, Stevens
and junior Keytaon
Thompson competed
throughout camp for the
starting job. Moorhead
and his staff tracked
completion percentages,
explosive plays and turn-
over numbers in order
to determine the starter.
Having seen nearly three
weeks of camp, the MSU
coaching staff informed
the team Thursday.
Moorhead said he
wouldn’t get into the
specific difference in
completion percentage
but noted it was a signifi-
cant enough difference to
make a decision.
“Tommy jumped out
of the gate strong at the
beginning of camp,” he
said. “KT kind of closed
the gap and had a real
nice first scrimmage and
from that point forward
Tommy created separa-
tion and continued to do
that toward the tail end of
camp.”
Thompson left the
spring as the No. 1 quar-
terback, ahead of fresh-
man Jalen Mayden and
early enrollee Garrett
Shrader.
Stevens earned rave
reviews prior to his
arrival in Starkville at the
Manning Passing Acad-
emy — an elite annual
camp hosted by Archie,
Peyton and Eli Manning.
Reese’s Senior Bowl
Executive Director Jim
Nagy sang his praises
over Twitter following the
camp.
“Biggest surprise of
the Manning Passing
Academy was Missis-
sippi State QB Tommy
Stevens,” Nagy wrote.
“Scouts talk about how
guys ‘spin it’ and Stevens
spun it as well as anyone
at the camp. We knew he
was a big and athletic but
he has a live arm.”
A three-star recruit
out of Decatur Central
in Indianapolis, Stevens
amassed 1,891 yards and
16 touchdowns passing
his senior year. He also
added 842 yards and 10
touchdowns rushing.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: BRAVES 3, MARLINS 2

Acuña delivers winning single, Braves beat Marlins again
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Ronald Acuña Jr. has
found multiple ways to beat the Miami
Marlins this year. He only wishes the
season series wasn’t over.
“Yeah, I definitely think it was an
appropriate way and a fitting ending to
the way we played the Marlins,” he said
through a translator. “But I would have
much rather hit a home run against
them.”
Acuña hit an RBI single with two
outs in the ninth inning and the Atlanta
Braves won their fifth straight game, fin-
ishing off the Marlins 3-2 on Thursday
night.
Freddie Freeman hit a tying homer in
the eighth and the Braves sent Miami to
its 12th road loss in a row, the longest
streak in the majors this year.
The NL East-leading Braves went
on Starlin Castro’s double.

I have been

my mom died,
my dad moved

been in the Air Force, moved
in. They have steady jobs and
contribute to the household.
GARFIELD One just bought a house.
My problem is with my
husband. Because his mother
can’t be left alone, we rarely
go anywhere anymore. And
even when we are out, he’s
glued to his phone. They don’t
have a strong relationship and
rarely speak to each other.
When I try to talk to him about
it, his answer is, “I promised
I’d never put her in a nursing
home,” and, “Honor thy moth-

is marrying someone of a
different faith. She doesn’t
want to invite my husband’s
first cousin and her spouse to
her wedding. The spouse is
openly racist, anti-Semitic and
homophobic, and the cousin
doesn’t contradict him.
My daughter is inviting
people of different faiths,
ethnicities and sexual orien-
tations. She does not want to
share her wedding day with
someone who is filled with
hate for her other guests and
for her fiancé. Although we
don’t socialize with this cousin
and her spouse, my husband
believes “family is family” and
they should be invited. What
is your opinion? — ON MY
DAUGHTER’S SIDE
DEAR O.M.D.S.: I disagree
with your husband. Because
someone is a relative does
not require the individual to be
invited to every family function,
particularly when your branch
of the family doesn’t socialize
with them otherwise. However,
if your husband still insists
they receive an invitation, he
should follow up the invitation
with a phone call detailing
what will be expected of
guests regarding civility and
decorum.
There are potential clients
and customers around, but, of
course, you feel funny about

You have what the other person

Plus, half the fun is in the pro-
cess. You don’t have to turn it
into a game, but it wouldn’t hurt
to make a dance out of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
The ego can be a rigid thing,
building up a facade so as to
appear in a particular way. But
no one is one way. There are
many possible versions of the
other person and there are
many possible versions of you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Solitary endeavors bring
out one side of you and chal-
lenges that involve other people
bring out another. Both results
can be surprising. Sometimes,
you’re amazed at what you learn
about yourself — like today, for
instance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Self-control is needed to
amass any kind of good result.
But in the end, that self-control
will be the best thing you’ve
amassed. Building this muscle
allows you to build much more.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your fortunes will depend
on how well you exercise
self-control. You will under-
stand what you need to do
to get a hold of your financial
picture. Success depends on
follow-through.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). People do unpredictable
things when they are afraid.
You’ll avoid this by being a safe
person who wants the best
for others and can prove it. As
you charm and disarm, you’ll
become immune to the trouble
caused by fear.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). When you don’t know what
you’re going to do, at least you
know what you’re not going to
do. You can start there. In fact,
make a list — a negative man-
ifesto. There will be brilliance
in that.

JERUSALEM — Is-

Wednesday steered clear

RIO DE JANEIRO
— Amid global concern
about raging fires in the
Amazon, Brazil’s govern-
ment complained Thurs-
day that it is being target-
ed in smear campaign by
critics who contend Pres-
ident Jair Bolsonaro is
not doing enough to curb
widespread deforestation.
The threat to what
some call “the lungs of
the planet” has ignited a
bitter dispute about who
is to blame during the ten-
ure of a leader who has de-
scribed Brazil’s rainforest
protections as an obstacle
to economic development
and who traded Twitter
jabs on Thursday with
France’s president over
the fires.
French President Em-
manuel Macron called the
wildfires an international
crisis and said the leaders
of the Group of 7 nations
should hold urgent dis-
cussions about them at
their summit in France
this weekend.
“Our house is burning.
Literally. The Amazon
rain forest — the lungs
which produces 20 per-
cent of our planet’s oxy-
gen — is on fire,” Macron
tweeted.
Bolsonaro fired back
with his own tweet: “I re-
gret that Macron seeks to
make personal political
gains in an internal mat-
ter for Brazil and other
Amazonian countries.
The sensationalist tone
he used does nothing to
solve the problem.”
