Supes hope to settle property damage suit

Plaintiff let county use her property
‘in good faith’ during road project
BY TESS VRBIN
tvrbin@cdispatch.com
A recent civil lawsuit from an
Oktibbeha County resident led
the board of supervisors to vote
3-1 Monday to ask permission
to settle out of court.
Joann Thompson filed a
complaint in Oktibbeha County
Justice Court on Sept. 12 alleg-
ing that county representatives
agreed to pay her $4,000 if she
allowed them to dispose of de-
bris including cut-down trees
on her Andrew Drive property
during a road paving project in
the summer of 2018.
“Work was never finished
and no reimbursement re-
ceived,” Thompson wrote in
her complaint. “This was done
1 year ago and NO action has
been taken.”
Thompson is suing for $3,500
in property damages, plus $64
in court costs. The board of su-
pervisors aims to consult with
Trainer Roberson
the state auditor’s office to de-
termine whether they can settle
for $2,500 or less.
She told The Dispatch she
set the price of $4,000 when
someone approached her and
asked for permission to use
her property during the road
project. They did not agree on a
payment date, and she assumed
she would be paid when the
project was finished, she said.
“I think they should be fair to
me because I let them use my
property in good faith,” Thomp-
son said.
The board discussed the is-
sue in executive session before
voting in regular session.
Board President and Dis-
trict 2 Supervisor Orlando
Trainer told The Dispatch af-
ter the meeting that the county
has previously made informal,
word-of-mouth agreements
with county residents on how to
use their land.
“The understanding was that
the county would bring the area
back up to its condition prior
to entry or make it better, and
in most cases, that would be a
verbal understanding,” Train-
er said. “Somewhere along the
line, Ms. Thompson felt like
she should have been com-
pensated, although we tried to
utilize the improvement of the
road as compensation or (as)
an incentive for people to allow
the county to use their property
temporarily.”
Thompson said she did not
know who she spoke to or what

for alleged
bomb threat
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT

CALEDONIA — A Caledonia
Middle School student has been
charged with making terroristic
threats after allegedly making a
bomb threat against multiple cam-
puses on Monday.
Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office
deputies received a report of the
threat Monday a little before 10:30
a.m., LCSO investigator Lt. Tony
Cooper said. District Superintendent
Lynn Wright said the student made a
threat against Caledonia, West Lown-
des and Lowndes County Alternative
School campuses.
Students were evacuated from
their campuses for less than an hour
while law enforcement, assisted by
the district’s information technology
department, tracked the source of
the threats to a school computer at
Caledonia, Wright said.
Wright said the threats were
made “through a computer.”
The student was charged as a ju-
venile at Lowndes County Juvenile
Detention Center, according to a
sheriff’s office press release.

Lowndes County now looking at other clinic options

Lowndes, CLW could turn to Allegro instead of Baptist

LOWNDES COUNTY
— A week after it seemed
poised to sign a new agree-

Medical Group Clinic, the
Lowndes County Board of
Supervisors will consider
other possibilities for its
employees’ doctors visits
and pharmacy.
On Oct. 1, supervisors
tabled a motion to contin-

basis, preferring to wait
until the clinic submitted
a written quote for costs
under a new agreement.

comic Rip Taylor has died at 88 Story, 1B.

Taylor’s ascent began with spots on

‘The Ed Sullivan Show,’ where he was
known as the ‘crying comedian’
By LINDSEY BAHR
AP Film Writer
LOS ANGELES — Rip
Taylor, the madcap mus-
tached comedian with a
fondness for confetti-throw-
ing who became a television
game show mainstay in the
1970s, has died. He was 88.
Taylor died Sunday in
Beverly Hills, California,
publicist Harlan Boll said.
The man who would be-
come known worldwide as
Rip did not have a direct line
into show business. He was
born Charles Elmer Taylor
Jr. in Washington, D.C., to a
waitress and a musician and
first worked as a congres-
sional page before serving
in the Army during the Ko-
rean War, where he started
performing standup.
His ascent began with
spots on “The Ed Sulli-
van Show,” where he was
known as the “crying come-
dian.” The moniker pre-dat-
ed his television stints, how-
ever, and went back to his
time in the Catskills.
“I sat on a stool telling
jokes, and nobody was
laughing,” he told UPI in
1992. “In desperation, I pre-
tended to cry as I begged
them to laugh. That killed
‘em.”

It’s where he said the
character “Rip” came from.
Although he readily ad-
mitted stealing jokes from
USO shows, the crying co-
median bit got him to Ed
Sullivan, where the host
— forgetting Taylor’s name
— would say “get me the
crying comedian.”
Success begat more suc-
cess, and Taylor ended up
on tour with Judy Garland
and Eleanor Powell in Las
Vegas in 1966.
In his over five decades
in entertainment, Taylor
would make over 2,000
guest star appearances on
shows like “The Monkees,”
“The Merv Griffin Show,”
“The Tonight Show,” “Late
Night with David Letter-
man,” “Hollywood Squares”
and “The Gong Show.” He
also hosted the beauty pag-
eant spoof “The $1.98 Beau-
ty Show.”
With his bushy blonde
toupee, exaggerated eye-
brows and walrus-like mus-
tache, Taylor was a striking
presence. He was apparent-
ly so proud of his star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame
that he’d regularly schedule
trips to buff and clean the
square at 6625 Hollywood

White House to fight impeachment
by stalling and attacking
‘What they did to this
country is unthinkable.
... You can’t impeach a
president for doing a
great job.’
President Donald Trump
By JILL COLVIN, ZEKE MILLER
and JONATHAN LEMIRE
The Associated Press
WA S H I N G T O N
— As House Dem-
ocrats fire off more
subpoenas, the
White House is final-
izing a high-stakes
strategy to counter
the impeachment
threat to President Trump
Donald Trump: Stall. Obfuscate.
Attack. Repeat.
Trump aides are honing their
approach after two weeks of what
allies have described as a listless
and unfocused response to the im-
peachment probe. One expected
step is a letter to House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi rejecting the inquiry
because Democrats haven’t held a
vote on the matter and moving to
all but cease cooperation with Cap-
itol Hill on key oversight matters.
The strategy risks further
provoking Democrats in the im-
peachment probe, setting up court
challenges and the potential for
lawmakers to draw up an article
of impeachment accusing Trump
of obstructing their investigations.
But as lawmakers seek to amass
ammunition to be used in an im-
peachment trial, the White House
increasingly believes all-out war-
fare is its best course of action.
“What they did to this country is
unthinkable. It’s lucky that I’m the
president. A lot of people said very
few people could handle it. I sort of
thrive on it,” Trump said Monday
at the White House. “You can’t im-

On Monday, one chief Trump loyalist in Congress called the move
“unnerving to the core.” An influential figure in conservative media
condemned it as “a disaster.” And Trump’s former top NATO envoy
said it was “a big mistake” that would threaten the lives of Kurdish
fighters who had fought for years alongside American troops against
the Islamic State group.
Trump’s surprise move, which came with no advance warning late
Sunday and stunned many in his own government, threatened to un-
dermine what has been near lockstep support among Republicans at a
critical moment in his presidency. Democrats are pursuing an impeach-
ment inquiry in the House, while Republicans in the Senate stand as the
president’s bulwark against being removed from office.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who has been among Trump’s most
vocal defenders, called the Syria decision “a disaster in the making”
that would throw the region into chaos and embolden the Islamic State
group.
“I hope I’m making myself clear how short-sighted and irresponsi-

Mississippi defends 15-week abortion ban in appeals court

By REBECCA SANTANA
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — A fed-
eral court that rejected Missis-
sippi’s 15-week abortion ban
should have let the state present
evidence about whether a fetus
experiences pain, an attorney
for the state argued Monday.
But a lawyer for Mississippi’s
only abortion clinic said the Su-
preme Court has been clear that
a woman has a right to have an
abortion before the fetus is via-
ble.
The arguments came during
a hearing at the 5th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals on a Missis-
sippi law that would ban most
abortions after 15 weeks of
pregnancy. It’s one of many laws
pushed by conservative states
in recent years, aimed at trying
to persuade the increasingly
conservative Supreme Court to
further restrict the amount of
time when abortion is legally
available, or even to overturn
the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
That decision said women
have the right to terminate
pregnancies until viability,
when a fetus can survive outside
the womb.
After Republican Gov. Phil
Bryant signed Mississippi’s law
in 2018, the Jackson Women’s
Health Organization immedi-
ately sued. U.S. District Judge
Carlton Reeves blocked the
law from taking effect, writing
that it “unequivocally” violates
women’s constitutional rights
because it bans abortion weeks
before viability.
Reeves wrote that viability
must be determined by trained
medical professionals, and the
“established medical consen-
sus” is that viability typically
begins at 23 to 24 weeks after
the pregnant woman’s last men-
strual period.
Mississippi and its support-
ers appealed to the 5th Cir-
cuit. Mississippi contends that
Reeves overstepped his author-
ity by only considering the case
through the prism of viability.
“From that point on the out-
come of this case was preor-
dained,” Paul Barnes, a special
assistant attorney general, told
the three-judge panel.
Barnes also suggested the
15-week standard had little
effect on the Jackson clinic be-
cause they already refuse to per-
form abortions after 16 weeks.
“It is a prohibition for one
week,” Barnes said.
Hillary Schneller, a lawyer
from the Center for Reproduc-
tive Rights which is represent-
ing the clinic, argued that the
Supreme Court has been clear
through decades of case law
about a woman’s right to an
abortion before fetal viability.
“There is no dispute that 15
weeks is well before viability,”
she said.
At least one of the 5th Circuit
judges seemed skeptical that vi-
ability should be the only stan-
dard. James C. Ho repeatedly
asked whether a fetus feeling
pain could ever be a factor in de-
termining whether an abortion
can be carried out.

Columbus pulled out of
the agreement this sum-
mer. BMG notified the
county and CLW that the
old agreement would be
discontinued on Sept. 30.
The county previously
discussed continuing to
use BMG on a non-con-
tract basis, allowing em-
ployees and their depen-
dents to continue to use
clinic services without a
copay. The county would,
in turn, pay BMG $80 per
visit on a month-to-month
basis. Pharmacy services
would not be included in
that arrangement.
CLW was not offered
that opportunity, Gale pre-
viously told The Dispatch.
During Monday’s su-
pervisors meeting, Dis-
trict 3 Supervisor John

said.
“Whenever we do a
road (project), I go look
for people who are happy
to let us use their prop-
erty,” Montgomery said.
“We don’t damage it. We
leave it just how it was.”
Second, the board is
not yet certain it is al-
lowed to settle out of
court for $2,500, he said.
“I’d like to not go (the
court) route, but I’d like to
hear more before just pay-
ing somebody on hear-
say,” Montgomery said.

er Fred Hal Baggett de-
clined to comment on an

terested, but that is pretty
much as far as it went,” he
said.
Board president Harry
Sanders said BMG might
be willing to offer a better
plan if there were clinics
competing for the coun-
ty’s business.
“Whatever we do, I
don’t think Todd Gale
should be negotiating for
us on this,” Holliman said.
“We should be doing our
own negotiations.”
Reached Tuesday af-
ternoon, Gale said he
had been in touch with
two other clinics and had
made a call to Gillis, but
had not heard back from
him.
“I did talk to Southern
Drugs, which is under Al-

The county is continu-

The first court date for
the lawsuit is Oct. 16.
Waste management
The board revived a de-
bate about the city’s waste
management service and
garbage can replacement,
a touchy subject for mul-
tiple supervisors. The re-
sponsibility of picking up
garbage cans has fallen
to the supervisors, who
considered splitting from
Golden Triangle Waste
Services but decided to
stick with the multi-coun-
ty service.
Miller proposed a
board order to place re-
quirements on foremen
picking up and replacing
cans, and Howard said
Gale said CLW chose
not to renew with Bap-
tist because of the added
costs of pharmacy cover-
age.
“When the city pulled
out, that was about half
the total number of peo-
ple covered between the
county, city and us,” Gale
said. “Up to that point we
were getting some pret-
ty good discounts on lab
work, pharmacy and im-
munizations. But when
the city pulled out, (Bap-
tist) told us they couldn’t
offer those discounts any
more.”
Sanders said the ad-
dition of the employee
copays for pharmacy,
labs and immunizations
make it reasonable to see
if there are other options
that would continue to
provide those services at
no cost to the employee.
“The bigger the pool,
the better deal you get,”
Sanders said. “We are

Supreme Court takes up cases over LGBT rights

By MARK SHERMAN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Su-
preme Court is set to hear ar-
guments in two of the term’s
most closely watched cases over
whether federal civil rights law
protects LGBT people from job
discrimination.
The cases Tuesday are the
court’s first on LGBT rights
since Justice Anthony Kenne-
dy’s retirement and replacement
by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. A
decision is expected by early
summer 2020, amid the presi-
dential election campaign.
The issue is whether a key
provision of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 that bars discrimination
in employment because of sex
covers LGBT people.
A ruling for employees who
were fired because of their sex-
ual orientation or gender iden-
tity would have a big impact for
the estimated 8.1 million LGBT
workers across the country
because most states don’t pro-
tect them from workplace dis-
crimination. An estimated 11.3
million LGBT people live in the
U.S., according to the Williams
Institute at the UCLA law school.
Kennedy was a voice for gay
rights and the author of the
landmark ruling in 2015 that
made same-sex marriage legal
throughout the United States.
Kavanaugh generally is regard-
ed as more conservative.
The Trump administration
has changed course from the
Obama administration and now
supports the employers in ar-
guing that the civil rights law’s
Title 7 does not prohibit discrim-
ination because of sexual orien-
tation or transgender status.
People have been waiting in
line outside the court since the
weekend to try to snag the few
seats the court makes available
to the public for arguments.
The justices will first hear
appeals in lawsuits filed by Ger-
ald Lynn Bostock, who claims
he lost his job working for Clay-
ton County, Georgia, after he
began playing in a gay recre-
ational softball league. He lost
his case in federal district court
and at the 11th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in Atlanta.

Dr. Noguchi came to the United States at age
20, as an exchange student from Japan to attend
Creighton University. He earned both Bachelor
and Master of Science degree in nuclear physics
in 3 years-time. Then, breaking family tradition,
he decided to attend medical school. After earn-
ing his medical degree at Creighton, he moved to
California, where he started a residency in gener-
al surgery and a clinical and research fellowship
in liver transplantation at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center in Los Angeles. He then completed a sec-
ond residency in general surgery at Loma Linda
University Medical Center and a transplant fel-
lowship at St. Vincent’s Medical Center. He then
completed a preceptorship at Providence Seattle

While at Cedars-Sinai, Dr. Noguchi met his
wife, Vickie, a transplantation nurse. They mar-
ried in 1993 and were married for 26 years.
He joined the surgical and transplantation
practice of Surgical Associates, Inc. and Queens
Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1998. He also
worked at Castle Medical Center in Kailua,
where he served as Vice Chair of the Depart-
ment of Surgery and Medical Director of Wind-
ward Outpatient Surgery Center. After moving to
Mississippi in 2016, he was employed by North
Mississippi Medical Center-West Point as a gen-
eral surgeon.
He was a member of several professional or-
ganizations, Fellows of American College of Sur-
geons, American Medical Association, American
Society of Transplant Surgeons, Physics Honor
Society (Sigma Pi Sigma), and others.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his wife and children, Mat-
thew, Maya, and Kenji; his German Shepherd
dogs, Angel and Dak; and his mother-in-law,
Elaine Simon.
Dr. Noguchi was best known for his bubbly
personality, bright smile, incredible bedside
manner, and wonderful sense of humor. His work
ethic and compassion for his patients and fellow
workers was unsurpassed. He was a talented sur-
geon and enjoyed helping others. He could never
say no to anyone in need. He loved all animals,
nature, the ocean, martial arts, and his Japanese
heritage.

Getting ready for a new
baby — safely
In the film “Away We Go,” a
young couple, played by Maya
Rudolph and John Krasinski, is
expecting their first child. When
they learn his parents (their only
support system) are moving thou-
sands of miles away, the pair sets
off on an ambitious cross-country
trip to find a new place to live.
That’s an exaggerated version
of a reality that many new par-
ents face: Expanding their family
means they need a new home. But
not so fast! A recent study looked
at birth records of 30,000 women
who had moved during the first
trimester and found that it was
associated with a 37 percent higher
risk for low birthweight and 42
percent heightened risk of prema-
ture birth compared with pregnant
moms who didn’t move during
this period. The study does not,
however, explain why moving can
be detrimental.
We have a pretty good idea: The
first trimester is when your rapidly
developing fetus is most vulnerable
to the negative effects of physical
and psychological stress. Also,
moving often demands redecorat-
ing. So does staying put, some-
times, and that can lead to expo-
sure to environmental toxins. So,
put off moving — and painting and
decorating — until at least the 14th
week of pregnancy.
If you do move, get help with
packing and leave
heavy lifting to
others. Throughout
your pregnancy,
de-stress with
doctor-approved
exercise, medita-
tion and plenty of
sleep. (Plus, kick
back and read our
book “YOU: Hav-
ing a Baby.”)

The result is that many 18- to

How the MSU men’s golf team built a ‘family atmosphere’
Mississippi State sophomores Ford Clegg (left) and Austin Vukovits didn’t get along right away when they were assigned to live together. “And now we’re like best friends,”
Clegg said. Their relationship is an example of how the Bulldogs have cultivated a “family atmosphere” at MSU.

During the bus ride back

Vukovits sliced up

“But the third time, it was

there.”

“Yes, we had some
mistakes, but they were
happy, and that’s what I’m
not used to seeing from
them,” Horel said. “Even
if they did make mistakes,
they were still happy, and
they still played it out.”
That happiness was
contagious on the Jackets’

Former MSU standout Hudson, Cardinals force Game 5 against Braves
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — They all
knew. Every single one of
them. Paul Goldschmidt
and all the St. Louis Car-
dinals. Ozzie Albies and
the rest of the Atlanta
Braves.
Tough to beat Yadier
Molina in a big postsea-
son spot.
Molina pushed the Car-
dinals to a deciding Game
5 of the NL Division Se-
ries, poking a tying single
in the eighth inning and
then lifting a sacrifice
fly in the 10th to beat the
Braves 5-4 Monday.
“I like those moments,”
Molina said.
No kidding.
Molina slung his bat far
into the outfield after his
winning swing, and the
crowd at Busch Stadium
roared with the longtime
heart of the franchise.
“An elite, special play-
er, that’s what he is,”
Cardinals manager Mike
Shildt said.
Game 5 will be
Wednesday back in At-
lanta. The Cardinals will
have ace Jack Flaherty
on the mound, and the
Braves will go with Mike
Foltynewicz.
“In front of our home
fans on Wednesday a
Game 5,” first baseman
Freddie Freeman said.
“That’s what it’s all about
so we’ll be ready to go.”
Kolten Wong led off
the St. Louis 10th with
a ground-rule double
against Julio Teheran. Af-
ter Goldschmidt was in-
tentionally walked, Wong
advanced on Marcell Ozu-
na’s forceout and easily
scampered home on Moli-
na’s fly to the front of the
warning track in left field.
Wong threw his hands
in the air as he ran toward
the plate. Molina rounded
first base with his bat in
hand, then flung it away
as the celebration erupt-
ed. He discarded his bat-
ting helmet as the rest
of the Cardinals poured
onto the field.
“I lost it right there,”
the 37-year-old catcher
said. “I think I tossed the
bat in the bullpen.”
Molina also made a
throat-slashing gesture
as he left the field. Braves
star Ronald Acuña Jr.
made a similar motion
across the top of his chest
after hauling in Molina’s
flyball for the final out of
Atlanta’s 3-1 win Sunday.
Before coming up with
his first career game-end-
ing RBI in the postsea-
son, Molina tied it at 4
with a two-out single in
the eighth that went just
off the top of the glove of
a leaping Freeman.
“I thought it was go-
ing in there,” the 6-foot-
5 Freeman said. “I just
needed to be 6-7.”
On this day, there was
no denying the nine-time
All-Star in red.
Albies homered and
drove in three runs for
Atlanta, and Acuña Jr.
had four hits. But the NL
East champions went 0
for 9 with runners in scor-
ing position, a continuing
problem in the postseason
over the past two years.
The Braves left the
bases loaded in the sixth
and seventh. Acuña was
stranded on third when
Josh Donaldson flied out
in the ninth.
“We’re a hit away from
— just some productive
outs — from continuing
to add on,” manager Brian
Snitker said.
Ozuna homered twice
for St. Louis, and Gold-
schmidt also connected.

loss before Molina deliv-
ered down the stretch.
“It’s not an accident,
the success that he has,”
Goldschmidt said. “He
works really hard at it.”
Albies gave Atlanta a
4-3 lead with a two-run
homer off Dakota Hud-
son in the fifth, capping a
three-run rally.
The Braves carried
the advantage all the way
into the eighth, but Gold-
schmidt doubled and Mo-
lina came up with the ty-
ing hit off Shane Greene.
“I mean, he’s a ballplay-
er,” Snitker said, handing
Molina perhaps the great-
est compliment that a
baseball lifer will use. “He
plays the game, he plays
the game in front of him
probably about as good as
anybody in the game.”

a 19-yard score as part of
a dominant ground game
on a day when quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo passed
for 181 yards and kicker
Robbie Gould missed a
pair of field goal attempts
and had a third try blocked.

gland Patriots as the only
remaining undefeated
teams in the NFL. It’s the
first time the 49ers have
won their first four games
since 1990.
The Browns (2-3) are
headed the opposite di-
rection after losing two of
three, with fresh concerns
about their young quarter-
back.
Mayfield had a horrible
game. The No. 1 overall
pick last year, Mayfield
completed 8 of 22 passes
for a career-low 100 yards,
had a 13.4 passer rating,
threw two interceptions,
fumbled twice and was
sacked four times before
being pulled in the fourth
quarter.
It’s the first time in
Mayfield’s 18 career starts

that he failed to throw a
touchdown pass.
Things were rough all
around for Mayfield.
San Francisco defensive
end Nick Bosa poked fun
at the Browns quarterback
after forcing Mayfield into
a hurried incompletion in
the second quarter. Bosa,
the second overall draft
pick, got up and pretend-
ed to wave a flag and plant
it in the turf as the crowd
roared. It was a clear shot
at Mayfield, who planted
an Oklahoma flag in the
turf after leading the Soon-
ers to win over Bosa and
Ohio State in 2017.
San Francisco forced
four turnovers overall.
The 49ers were com-
ing off a bye and had two
weeks to prepare, while the
Browns flew cross country.
It showed.
Breida raced past the
Browns front line and went
untouched on his long
touchdown run, waving to
safety Demarious Randall
as he sprinted into the end
zone with the 49ers longest
run of the season.
Fans at Levi’s Stadium
barely settled back into
their seats when Richard
Sherman picked off May-
field near midfield, setting
a rough tone for Cleve-
land’s second-year quarter-
back.
Breida and Coleman
combined for 211 rushing
yards as San Francisco
outgained Cleveland 275-
102 on the ground.
That took pressure off

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
My father
died three
years ago. My
parents were
both close to his
younger brother
and his wife.
For the past two
years, I have
suspected that
my mother and
my uncle have
been having
an affair. They
live in different
states and text
back and forth.
Dear Abby
She has left her
phone open when she has
gone places with us, and the
comments back and forth are
very sexually oriented.
I became suspicious when
my uncle came to visit and
they took a trip together and
ended up staying overnight
somewhere. A couple of
months later, my aunt and
uncle came to visit, and Mom
asked me NOT to say anything
about the trip they had taken
in front of his wife.
Then Mom started locking
her phone, and if she wants
to show you something, she
holds onto her phone for dear
life. She asked me to look
on her phone for something
recently while she was driving
us someplace and she was so
worried about her phone, I was
afraid she was going to cause
Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (OCT.
8). Little actions get big reac-
tions over the next 10 weeks
when the details of your work
excite, inspire and influence.
You can turn this into money.
Build slowly, and test the integri-
ty of every choice along the way.
Ideal partners and investors will
come along in May. Your family
and network will grow. Capricorn
and Aquarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 1, 11
and 28.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Acting honorably is different
from simply operating within the
expected rules. Honor has more
to do with claiming a code you
can personally get behind and
living by it.
two touchdowns and com-
pleted 20 of 29 throws.
Garoppolo’s 5-yard
throw to Breida put the
49ers up 14-0 early in the
first quarter. He later con-
nected on a 22-yard pass to
tight end George Kittle in
the third that made it 28-3.
Not this time either
The 49ers defense is the
only NFL team to not allow
a rushing touchdown this
season. Browns running
back Nick Chubb had 87
yards on 16 carries but was
a non-factor for most of
the game, especially after
Cleveland fell behind big.
Beckham or Barker
Browns wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr. threw a
an accident
because she was
trying to watch
what I was doing.
The last
time my aunt
and uncle were
here, Mom tried
everything she
could to get my
uncle alone. I
tried as hard as
I could to not
let that happen.
I feel my aunt
needs to know
what is going on.
I’m not sure how
to approach this
or if I should leave it alone. It
really bothers me they think
this is OK. My father had an
affair once, so Mom should
know how this would hurt.
What should I do? — WITNESS
IN WISCONSIN
DEAR WITNESS: What you
should do is take a giant step
back. Do not involve yourself
in this potential mess and
do not be the bearer of bad
tidings to your aunt. If you are
going to talk to anyone, talk to
your mother.
DEAR ABBY: I have been
happily married to my hus-
band, “Clyde,” for 14 years,
and we have a 12-year-old son.
Clyde is the nicest man I have
ever met, nice to a point that
drives me insane. He invites
complete strangers over to
our house and acts like it’s
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
There’s a lot to overcome on
the mission to connect with
and impress others today. For
starters, it’s pretty easy to say
what you don’t mean or hear
something other than what the
other person intended.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
What good can your talents do
for you if you don’t know what
they are? Explore. Try different
activities. You’ll be surprised at
what you have a natural knack
for.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Nearly all people who’ve walked
the Earth know the emotion
of shame, as it’s part of how
humans keep one another in
line. You hate to see someone

20-yard completion to Jar-
vis Landry on Cleveland’s
first play. Beckham took a
handoff from Mayfield for
what initially looked like
an end around before re-
versing direction then pull-
ing up to pass. It’s the third
time in his career that
Beckham has completed a
pass, but the first time this
season.
Injuries
49ers: Fullback Kyle
Juszczyk left the game
with a possible left knee in-
jury midway through the
third quarter. Juszczyk,
who had a pivotal block
on Breida’s long touch-
down run, was taken to
the medical tent and was
later carted into the lock-
er room.
normal.
Last week, he brought a
homeless 20-something-year-
old woman with him when
he came home from work.
Without my consent, he let
her stay over for FOUR DAYS,
until I forced her to leave. I
couldn’t stand having to cook
for and house a woman whose
name I didn’t even know! After
she left, Clyde got mad and
said my actions were “rude”
and “disrespectful.” I think it
is unsafe for strangers to be
allowed in our home, especial-
ly with our son around.
Abby, I don’t know what to
do. If I can’t find a way to stop
my husband’s recklessness, I
may have to end our mar-
riage. Please help. — OVER-
WHELMED IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR OVERWHELMED: In
most marriages, spouses have
enough consideration for each
other that they ask first before
inviting someone — particu-
larly someone their spouse
doesn’t know — into their
home. Your “nice” husband
seems to have forgotten this.
Your concerns are valid.
Because you can’t seem to
get through to him that what
he is doing is risky, insist on
some sessions with a licensed
marriage and family therapist.
Perhaps that person can get
through to him. He may think
what he’s doing is admirable,
but there are other ways to
help homeless individuals.
shamed and will offer ways to
save face and/or overcome
shame with honor.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One
way that love comes through is
when you notice that you miss
someone. When you recognize
the pangs of longing as a form
of love, it will add a little sweet-
ness to the bitterness.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’ll be punctual without a wit-
ness, virtuous without a reason,
vigilant without a threat. You’re
not out to impress anyone.
You do what you do because it
makes you stronger, healthier
and more self-reliant.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
If you didn’t have an artistic eye,
you wouldn’t be drawn to beau-
tiful things. If you’re willing to
experiment a bit, you’ll soon find
the right outlet to work through
the raw material stirring in your
mind and spirit.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). For your sign, charisma
just comes with the territory.
Only now, with Venus sliding into
your part of the sky, your natural
gift gets supercharged. You’ll
soon be fielding more interest.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You may feel responsible
for the happiness of your boss,
partner, child, friend or any
number of other people around
you, though you’re actually only
responsible for one person’s
happiness, and that’s your own.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The best way to avoid
letting guilt run your life is not
to do anything bad. But since
everyone makes mistakes, the
next best way is to contribute
as much good as possible to
balance those out.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Everyone has to do things
they don’t want to do from time
to time, but your schedule cer-
tainly shouldn’t be chalk-full of
such tasks. How can you make
your own life a little friendlier to
the one who has to live it?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’re afraid to add to your
schedule in a way that some
people in your life may not
relate to. But not being relatable
is the whole point here —
enjoying a fully formed identity
outside of certain relationships
and roles.
