years after rule Gone fishing

changes, bail
still flourishes
Inmates who face even
relatively low bails can
get stuck in jail for more
than a year before trial
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press

JACKSON — Two years after

rule changes in Mississippi courts,
judges are still demanding bail —
and people are still getting stuck in
jail.
That’s the inescapable con-
clusion of a new report from the
MacArthur Justice Center at the
University of Mississippi School
of Law. The report counted 5,700
people in local jails earlier this
year, with nearly half of them hav-
ing been confined for more than 90
days and 800 of them having been
confined there for more than a year.
The data’s quality, admittedly,
is still poor. The center says some
counties are reporting only in-
mates held more than 90 days, and
that reporting from county to coun-
ty is inconsistent. Some lawmakers
tried unsuccessfully to get a bill
passed earlier this year to mandate
standardized statewide reporting.
But in the center’s third attempt
at counting inmates, the old pat-
terns are still clear. Inmates who
face even relatively low bails can Victoria Cheyne/Dispatch Staff

AP Film Writer
LOS ANGELES — “Toy
Story 4” hung onto the top
spot in its second week in
theaters and the horror
sequel “Annabelle Comes
Home” opened in line with
expectations, but the Cin-
derella story of the weekend
was actually the third place
movie: “Yesterday.”
The Danny Boyle-direct-
ed musical romantic com-
edy featuring the music of
the Beatles debuted well
over industry expectations,
earning an estimated $17
million from North Ameri-
can theaters. In a summer
where most films have de-
buted either under or at in-
dustry tracking, which are
often lowball projections,
and original comedies have
struggled to find audiences,
“Yesterday” proved to be the
exception.
Starring relative new-
comer Himesh Patel, “Yes-
terday” imagines a world
where only one man remem-
bers the music of the Beatles
and decides to present their
catalog of hits as his own.
Although critics were
mixed, audiences, who were
mostly female (56 and over
the age of 25 (75 percent)
have embraced the film with
an A- CinemaScore and a 90
percent audience score on
Rotten Tomatoes.

and all of the explosions of

charming, original, whim-
sical musical romance with
iconic music and amazing
performances... (and direc-
tion),” Orr said. “All of that
adds up to a great, great run
at the domestic box office.”

Mississippi enacts new laws on teacher pay, criminal justice

New measures will take effect today
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Several new
laws are taking effect Monday
in Mississippi, including one
that gives a pay raise to teach-
ers and two that are designed
to ease burdens on people who
face court fines or who are try-
ing to find jobs after having a
criminal conviction.
Here are some of the mea-
sures passed by the Legislature
and signed by Republican Gov.
Phil Bryant:
■ CRIMINAL JUSTICE
— House Bill 1352 eases pen-
alties on some Mississippians
accused or convicted of crimes.
It stops automatic suspension
of driver’s licenses for nonpay-
ment of fines or for simple drug
possession. It also creates “in-
tervention courts” to handle
cases involving veterans, drugs
and mental health issues.
■ JOB LICENSING —
Senate Bill 2781, named the
“Fresh Start Act of 2019,” says
a criminal conviction does not
disqualify people from receiv-
ing a job license unless the con-
viction was directly related to
the job for which the license is
required. Groups that issue job
licenses are banned from using
phrases such as “moral turpi-
tude.”
■ TEACHER PAY — Sen-
ate Bill 2770 authorizes a
$1,500 pay raise for teachers.
■ PROPERTY OWNER
LIABILITY — Senate Bill
2901, called the “Landowners
Protection Act,” says that any-
one who owns, leases, oper-
ates, or maintains a commer-
cial property in Mississippi will
not be liable for any injury on
the property caused by anoth-
er person, unless the person
in charge of the property did
something that “impelled” the
harmful action. Supporters
say the new law will provide
financial protection for proper-
ty owners or managers, while
critics say it could lead to neg-
ligence.
■ HUMAN TRAFFICK-
ING VICTIMS — House Bill
571 prevents charges from be-
ing filed against trafficking vic-
tims who are younger than 18.
The minor would be taken into
protective custody and counsel-
ing would be provided. Foster
parents would be trained to
help trafficking victims.
■ MARRIAGE LICENSES
— Senate Bill 2043 increases
the cost of a marriage license
from $20 to $35.
■ TERROR THREATS —
Senate Bill 2141 creates a new
felony of making a terrorist
threat. It is punishable by up to
10 years in prison.
■ GUNS IN COURT-
HOUSES — House Bill 1581
clarifies an existing law about
guns in courthouses to say
that guns may be banned in
courtrooms, jury rooms, wit-
ness rooms and judges’ cham-
bers but may not be banned in
hallways, courthouse grounds
or other areas in or around a
courthouse that are generally
open to the public.
■ CHURCH PROTEC-
TION — House Bill 390 says
retired law enforcement offi-
cers may work in security for
churches or other houses of
worship and may be immune
from civil lawsuits in that role.
■ SCHOOL SAFETY —
House Bill 1283 would require
public schools to conduct ac-
tive-shooter drills.
■ CORPORAL PUNISH-
MENT — House Bill 1182 bans
corporal punishment for any
student who has a disability or
a special-education plan.
■ COUNTY OFFICIALS’
PAY — Senate Bill 2827 creates
a task force to study salaries of
county officials and to make
long-term recommendations.
This part of the law takes effect
July 1. Other parts of the same
law will authorize pay raises for
county supervisors, chancery
clerks, circuit clerks, tax col-
lectors, tax assessors and other
county officials, beginning in
January.
■ VEHICLE SALES TA X
— Senate Bill 2229 says no
sales tax is charged when a ve-
hicle is sold from one sibling to
another.
■ ISRAEL — House Bill
761 bans the state of Mississip-
pi from investing in companies
that boycott Israel.
Law that is blocked:
■ ABORTION — Senate
Bill 2116 would ban most abor-
tions once a fetal heartbeat can
be detected, which is at about
six weeks, before some women
might know they are pregnant.
A federal judge has temporarily
blocked the law from taking ef-
fect July 1, although the state is
appealing that decision.
Law that has already
taken effect:
■ MOVIE INCENTIVES
— Senate Bill 2603 extends a
program that allows Mississip-
pi to offer rebates to motion pic-
ture production companies that
work in the state. It became law
when it was signed in April.

At least 6 injured
in fighting at
Mississippi jail
RAYMOND — At least
six inmates were injured
in fights over two days at a
Mississippi jail.
Local news outlets re-
port inmates used pipes
and homemade knives as
weapons as they brawled at
the Hinds County Deten-
tion Center in Raymond.
Sheriff Victor Mason
confirms at least six in-
mates Friday were taken
to hospitals. Three were
released.
Mason says the inmates
began fighting around
12:30 a.m. Friday over con-
traband. Other officials tell
WLBT-TV that the unrest
is at least in part a clash
between two rival gangs
— the Vice Lords and the
Gangster Disciples.
The sheriff didn’t name
inmates involved or their
injuries. It’s unclear if
they will face additional
charges.
The jail’s conditions
have been the subject of
federal scrutiny, with the
county promising improve-
ments.
Mother of newborn says
lure of free clothes led
to attack
WALLS — Police in
northern Mississippi say a
woman stabbed the moth-
er of a newborn child af-
ter promising free baby
clothes.
Walls police have is-
sued a warrant for Belinda
King Maxwell on assault
and child abuse charges.
Tobyianna Hicks tells
WREG-TV that on June
7, Maxwell promised her
baby clothes, but then
took her child and drove
to a church in Walls. The
17-year-old Robinsonville
resident followed.
After 45 minutes wait-
ing on the clothes, Hicks
says she was comforting
her daughter when Max-
well attacked her. Hicks
says Maxwell stabbed her
five times with a machete
and threw her newborn
daughter into the street.
Hicks says the two
women then fought until a
fire truck passed by. Max-
well fled, while Hicks and
her daughter were treated
at a hospital.
day, Carlus Page says Lum-
berton city leaders had
agreed to give him Sun-
days off so he could contin-

later voted to demote him
to part-time patrol officer.
The suit says that ac-
commodation was granted
when he first joined the
force as a part-time officer
in 2013, and was agreed
upon again when Page be-
came chief April 2018.
After he was demoted
in August, Page says he
was scheduled to work ev-
ery Sunday in September
and thus resigned from the
Lumberton police force al-

The lawsuit seeks back
wages and reinstatement
to the position of chief.

Voice of the people
Larry Elder’s ‘reparations’
I’d like to explain a number of problems in
Larry Elder’s opinion piece, “Reparations.” I take it
that one of Elder’s main points is that any attempt
to compensate black people living in the United
States today would in some way be unjust because
white people aren’t the only ones who benefited
from slavery, and not all black people suffer the
same residual harms of slavery. But here he funda-
mentally misunderstands what people mean when
they discuss reparations. When sincere people dis-
cuss reparations in the United States, the first step
is always a thorough reckoning with past injus-
tices and assessment of measurable harms done.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, mocked by Elder for presenting
unrealistic economic figures, wrote, for example,
“John Conyers’s HR 40 is the vehicle for that hear-
ing. No one can know what would come out of such
a debate...But I believe that wrestling publicly with
these questions matters as much as—if not more
than—the specific answers that might be pro-
duced....More important than any single check cut
to any African American, the payment of repara-
tions would represent America’s maturation out of
the childhood myth of its innocence into a wisdom
worthy of its founders.” Moreover, Elder seems to
think that the only issue discussed by proponents
of reparations is slavery, but Coates and others
have pointed to the ways in which racist practices
have continued to steal labor and wealth from
black people (through convict leasing, sharecrop-
ping, housing policies, etc.) well beyond the official
abolition of slavery. And everyone who thinks seri-
ously about how race operates in the United States
will admit that racism harms not only people of
color but also certain white people. Indeed, certain
proposals, like Senator Corey Booker’s so-called Musings
Woody Guthrie, by God
“baby bonds” plan, would seek to address a history
of racial inequality through programs that would
benefit everyone.

senting others or taking their ideas out of context, “Some of us are about guns in Ameri- happens, the memorial will be

Observations of Trump critics
By Everet te Cribb
A few weeks ago I was going to meet
friends for dinner at Mi Hacienda in
Columbus. I got in town and stopped for
gas at a local Sprint Mart. Per my rou-
tine, I go inside to prepay. As I opened
my wallet, the cashier noticed my
Republican Party membership card and
asked me if I was a Trump supporter. As
I told her I was, and the look she gave
me reminded me of the ones I’d receive
from my parents if I ever broke curfew.
I tried to avoid any pointless policy
argument, but as I left she told me that
as far as her household, “hate doesn’t
live here.” And that perfectly describes
where we are in today’s current political
climate.
It goes without saying you can’t turn
on cable news without thinking we’re
living through Watergate day after day.
Not a shred of wrongdoing or illegality
has been offered or proven again Trump.
Nevertheless, Democrats with their
hopeful and willing mainstream news
media pals are tossing “constitutional
crisis, treasonous” Trump chum on
everything in sight.
We are repeatedly told that Donald
Trump is the embodiment of hate,
and we the voters are responsible for
unleashing the spread of hate-filled rhet-
oric. “A threat to democracy” is a term
tossed around a lot by President Trump’s
critics lately. They hear any phrase
uttered from his mouth that fails to fit
the bill of “standard practice” and begin
circling the wagons with their pitchforks
in hand. All the while lecturing to us
Trump voters and asking us how we
could vote for such a vile creature. It’s
pretty simple. Like Stormy Daniels, my
vote for Trump was a transaction, and I
grow tired of having to defend it.
Enough is enough. If you Democrats
are serious about unity and toning down
rhetoric, stop suggesting every Trump
voter is as bad as you believe Trump is.
You know who you are. You people who
have stopped talking to your friends and
family because of a vote. You people in
churches who can’t worship alongside
KNOWN Trump voters. You people who
hate the president so much, you need
to display an ironic “Hate has no home
here” sign in your yard. It should read,
“I hate everyone who didn’t vote as I
did.”
But that’s too honest, I suppose.
Don’t misunderstand; I’m 100% pro-
free speech. Say, behave, believe, act
any way you want as long as it’s within
the law. Many of our daily activities
depend on the same First Amendment
protections. But don’t you dare assign
some of the worst elements of the
human condition to my vote or the man
I voted for then lecture about unity and
civility when one of your “hate has no
home here” clan decides it’s time to
label all of us as Nazi enablers when
illegal immigrants get caught sneaking
across the border.
The bigger point to be made in all
of this has nothing to do with Don-
ald Trump though. Coupled with his
economic successes, President Trump
made a simple statement that I believe
summarizes the essence of his entire
presidency as it relates to his voters.
While all of these people seem to be
zeroed in on Donald Trump, their real
enemy is anyone who votes for him.
“The Democrats do not care about
Russia. They only care about their own
cynical power. They went after my
family, my business, my finances, my
employees, almost everyone I’ve known
and worked with. But they are really
going after you,” said Trump.
Bingo. And that’s the biggest point he
can make. And he must make it over and
over again. Donald Trump’s campaign
and presidency has been under assault
from the beginning to teach anyone who
dares support him that he will not be tol-
erated. Washington does business their
way, not your way. The swamp intends
to teach you that lesson through their
treatment of Mr. Trump.
Sadly, Trump’s political enemies are
your political enemies. I’m sorry to say
it, and I know there are some who feel
that’s divisive rhetoric. But I believe the
left when they call us “deplorable” or
“smelly Wal-Mart people” or “gun nuts”
or “racist, sexist, xenophobic, homopho-
bic, religious zealots.”
Trump voters know 2020 is just as
much about them as it is about the man
for whom they’ll cast a ballot. Demo-
crats represent government on steroids.
Not a one of them wants less of it. All
that stands in their way is Trump and his
voters.
It will be a colossal fight and thank
God we finally have a prizefighter. As
for me, I’m enthusiastically voting for
Donald Trump again next year. Sure,
for his policies. But mostly because we
share political enemies.
Hate has a home, all right. It’s the
Democrat Party. And at present, there
are plenty of spare rooms for deranged,
social justice warriors to lay their heads.
How’s that for rhetoric?

3 longtime Mississippi lawmakers retiring before term ends

‘They were fierce protectors
of the rules of the institution and
were great promoters of a collegial
attitude among members’
Democratic Sen. John Horhn of Jackson
By EMILY
WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Three
Mississippi lawmakers
are retiring as of Monday,
when the new state budget
year begins.
Republican Sen. Tom-
my Gollott of Biloxi, Dem-
ocrat Sen. Bob Dearing of
Natchez and Democrat-
ic Rep. David Myers of
McComb are leaving six
months before the end of
the four-year term. They
had already said they
wouldn’t seek re-election
this year, and their seats
will be filled in the Novem-
ber election.
Gollott, 83, is the lon-
gest-serving state law-
maker in Mississippi his-
tory. He has been in the
Legislature since January
1968, with the first 10
years in the House and the
rest in the Senate. He was
first elected as a Democrat
and became a Republican
in 2007.
Dearing, 84, served in
the Senate 1980-2012 and
again since 2016.
Myers, 57, has served
in the House since 1996.
He was deployed on ac-
tive-duty military service
for about two years, re-
turning recently.
With these retirements,
three of the 52 Senate
seats and two of the 122
House seats will be vacant.
Republican Cory Wil-
son of Madison left the
House in February to take
a nonpartisan position as
a state Court of Appeals
judge, and Republican Vi-
det Carmichael of Meridi-
an left the Senate in April
to serve on the Mississip-
pi Community College
Board.
Republican Gov. Phil
Bryant will not set special
elections to fill any of the
five seats, and the vacan-
cies may have little practi-
cal impact. Legislators will
return to the Capitol only if
Bryant calls a special ses-
sion before January.
Myers did not immedi-
ately return a message left
at his home phone num-
ber.
Gollott said Friday that
he is retiring early be-
cause he and his wife are
both having health prob-
lems.
“I’ve enjoyed taking
care of my people,” he
said. “Now, I need to take
care of my wife and my-
self.”
Thursday at the Capi-
tol, Gollott said one of his
most “formidable” accom-
plishments was pushing
to legalize gambling in the
early 1990s, after illegal
gambling had long been a
reality on the Gulf Coast.
“The state is that much
richer for it,” Gollott said,
noting that state revenues
increased when casinos
developed along the coast
and the Mississippi River.
Dearing said he’s re-
tiring early because the
regular legislative session
is over and he does not ex-
pect a special session.
Dearing wrote legisla-
tion in the 1990s that made
retirement income exempt
from state income tax. He
cited that as a top accom-
plishment, along with two
other landmark pieces
of legislation he support-
ed — the 1987 highway
act and the legalization
of gambling, which led to
thousands of jobs in casi-
nos.
The 1987 act includ-
ed the widening of U.S.
Highways 61 and 84, both
vital to Natchez. “That was
very, very important for
safety,” Dearing said.

Democratic Sen. John

Speaking of his retiring
colleagues, Horhn said:

Schumer: ATF should investigate

American deaths in Dominican Republic
At least eight American tourists have
died in the country this year
By MICHAEL BALSAMO
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The
Senate’s top Democrat
said Sunday that the U.S.
government should step
up efforts to investigate
the deaths of at least eight
Americans in the Domini-
can Republic this year.
The Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives should lend
support to the FBI and
local law enforcement,
said Sen. Chuck Schumer,
D-N.Y., noting the agency
has offices in the Caribbe-
an and the technical and
forensic expertise that
could aid the investiga-
tion.
“Given that we still
have a whole lot of ques-
tions and very few an-
swers into just what, if
anything, is cause for the
recent spate of sickness-
es and several deaths of
Americans in the Domin-
ican Republic, the feds
should double their ef-
forts on helping get to the
bottom of things,” Schum-
er said in a statement.
Family members of the
tourists who died have
called on authorities to
investigate any possible
connections. Relatives
have raised the possibility
that the deaths may have
been caused by adulter-
ated alcohol or misused
pesticides.
ATF spokeswoman
April Langwell said the
Treasury Department
primarily handles inves-
tigations involving poten-
tially tainted alcohol. But
she said ATF has offered
its assistance and would
work with other law en-
forcement agencies to
keep Americans safe.
The ATF primarily
investigates firearms-re-
lated crimes but is also
charged with regulating
alcohol and tobacco.
Francisco Javier
García, the tourism min-
ister in the Dominican
Republic, said earlier this
month that the deaths
were not part of any mys-
terious series of fatalities
but a statistically normal
phenomenon lumped to-
gether by the U.S. media.
He said autopsies show
the tourists died of natu-
ral causes.
Five of the autopsies
were complete as of last
week, while three were
undergoing further tox-
icological analysis with
the help from the FBI be-
cause of the circumstanc-
es of the deaths.

Mississippi election lawsuit

is ‘time-sensitive,’ judge says
Lawsuit: State has racially discriminatory method
of choosing statewide officials, including governor
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A federal judge
says he’s aware of the “time-sen-
sitive nature” of an election-year
lawsuit that says Mississippi has a
racially discriminatory method of
choosing statewide officials, includ-
ing governor.
U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jor-
dan III has set mid- and late July
deadlines for state attorneys to re-
spond to the suit filed May 30 by
four African American plaintiffs.
The suit seeks to end what they say
is a system aimed at thwarting elec-
tion of black candidates.
A Mississippi constitutional
provision written in 1890 says can-
didates must win a majority of the
popular vote and a majority of the
122 Mississippi House districts. If
nobody wins both majorities, the
election is decided by the House.
It was written at a time that white
politicians across the South were
enacting Jim Crow laws to erase
black political power that had been
gained during Reconstruction. No
other state in the U.S. uses such a
method.
Mississippi has August prima-
ries and a November election for
governor and other offices, and
the lawsuit seeks to block the two-
pronged election method from be-
ing used this year.
State attorneys originally had a
June 20 deadline to respond to the
lawsuit but sought more time be-
cause they said the suit deals with
“complex and important issues.”
Jordan granted an extension,
setting deadlines of July 15 for the
state to respond to plaintiffs’ gen-
eral arguments and July 20 for the
state to respond to plaintiffs’ re-
quest for a preliminary injunction
that would block the multi-pronged
election process from being used
this year.
“The Court understands the
time-sensitive nature of the case
and anticipates that it too will need
time to consider the merits once
fully briefed,” Jordan wrote June 20.
Former U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder, the first African Amer-
ican to hold that job, is chairman of
the National Democratic Redistrict-
ing Committee, whose affiliated
foundation is providing financial
and legal support for the lawsuit.
Fourth-term Mississippi Attor-
ney General Jim Hood is running
for governor this year, and if he
were to win the Democratic prima-
ry in August, his campaign could
be affected by the outcome of the
lawsuit.
A spokeswoman for the office,
Margaret Ann Morgan, said Thurs-
day that she would check on why
Hood or assistant attorneys general
are not representing the state, as
they normally would in lawsuits.
Morgan said in a statement Fri-
day: “Pursuant to the rules on at-
torney/client privilege, our office
will refrain from commenting.” She
did not answer the question about
whether the attorney general’s
office is not handling the case be-
cause of Hood’s candidacy.

Turner
Continued from Page 1A
An unsuccessful cast
tangled up his line.
“It’s called backlash,
and it sucks,” Turn-
er said, meticulously
smoothing out the kinks.
Turner’s father raised
him hunting and fishing,
and he’s never stopped
doing either. The time
outside relieves his
stress, he said.
“You can come out
here and no one bothers
you, and you can get a lot
off your mind,” Turner
said.
Bass, bream and
crappie are among the
cast of characters at
Officers Lake. The green,
speckled crappie are the
hardest to catch, because
they’re the least predict-
able, Turner said.
Some of his recent
catches, since he ar-
ranged a membership
to fish at Officers Lake
in March, have included
7- and 4-pound bass and a
2-pound crappie — large
for its kind because it
carried eggs, during
spawning season in the
spring.
When a fish takes
the bait, he feels it in his
grip on the pole. Then
the line tightens as the
fish swims away from
him. The catch comes
down to setting the hook
well, basically reeling in
slack and snapping the
rod over his shoulder, to
impale the fish, he said.
When he’s making a
catch, Turner said it’s fun
because it’s a series of
moments between him
and the fish. Once he gets
it, he tosses it back into
the water so someone
else can enjoy the same
process another day.
But Turner doesn’t
always have great fishing
luck, and that’s just the
name of the game. It
doesn’t stop him from
setting up at the lake
the very next day to try
again, because “you don’t
catch them if you don’t
go.”
“That’s what life’s all
about,” Turner said. “You
just do what you can to
make the best of what
you’ve got.”
West Point has been
Turner’s home for almost
20 years now. He works
at Monroe Tufline, a
manufacturer of farming
equipment, in Columbus.
He’s been a welder for
about 30 years.
“It’s a living, and if you
can make a living and be
able to do what I’m out
here doing, then what’s
better than that?”

Analysis
Continued from Page 1A
rested see a judge within
48 hours, even if it’s on a
weekend.
The rules also say
“a defendant should be
released pending trial
whenever possible” and
that judges may release
indigent defendants “on
non-financial conditions
that make it reasonably
likely that the defendant
will appear.” But when
judges see defendants,
many still always require
bail.
Cliff Johnson, the di-
rector of the MacArthur
Center, says that what he
calls “unlawful automatic
money bail” long ago be-
came accepted practice
in Mississippi. He and
others have successfully
sued multiple jurisdic-
tions to force them to
release people who can’t
afford bail. But it’s a
one-at-a-time venture in
a state with 82 counties
and about 300 cities and
towns.
It doesn’t help that the
state hasn’t fixed its public
defender system, where
jail inmates often go un-
represented until they’re
indicted, and sometimes
even then have trouble
getting a lawyer’s atten-
tion. Lawyers could ask
judges to lower bail.
But it’s deeper than
that.
Johnson ultimately has
an uphill battle against
entrenched beliefs about
the criminal justice sys-
tem. It’s clear that many
Mississippians believe
that once people are ar-
rested by police, they de-
serve to stay in jail until
charges are resolved, es-
pecially when they’re ac-
cused of a serious crime.
While defendants are le-
gally presumed innocent
until proven guilty, popu-
lar opinion clearly runs in
the other direction.
Witness the eruption
in Oxford in May when
prosecutors discussed
setting bail for a police of-
ficer accused of killing a
woman. Family members
angrily spilled out into
the Oxford square and
the police chief issued a
statement saying the of-
ficer “needs to be in jail.”
Two days later, a judge de-
nied bail.
Johnson said that fear
of public opinion is part of
the reason judges haven’t
changed their bail prac-
tices.
“Judges are afraid that
if a defendant released
without paying money
bail does something bad,
the judge who released
that person will be voted
out of office,” Johnson
said.

Moorhead looks for new leaders on defensive line

Receiving corps appears on track for improved 2019
BY BEN PORTNOY

STARKVILLE — It’s no secret that
Mississippi State is replacing plenty of
production on the defensive line.
With defensive tackle Jeffery Sim-
mons and defensive ends
Montez Sweat and Gerri
Green off to the NFL, the
MSU defense is in desper-
ate need of playmakers up
front. And while the piec-
es may be inexperienced,
senior defensive end
Chauncey Rivers figures
Moorhead
to bridge that gap.
At 6-foot-3, 275 pounds,
Rivers has the size to take over Sweat’s
spot on the edge. A one-time Georgia
player, he recorded 24 tackles and 2.5
sacks in 13 games last season.
And though Rivers saw action in every
game in 2018, MSU coach Joe Moorhead
explained that with another year of de-
fensive coordinator Bob Shoop’s scheme
under his belt the Bulldog coaching staff
are expecting big numbers from Rivers.
“I think Chauncey is really poised
for a breakout year,” Moorhead said. “I
think he made a lot of really great plays
last year, particularly in the pass game.
He’s got a very diverse skill-set when
it comes to getting to the passer and I
think the biggest thing that he worked
on this offseason was his size and his
strength and I think he is going to be
equally effective against the run as he is
against the pass this year.”
Receivers making strides
While Rivers is furthering his knowl-
edge of the defensive playbook, the same
can be said of the MSU receiving corps
on the offensive side of the ball.
Redshirt junior Osirus Mitchell and
senior Stephen Guidry totaled just 867
receiving yards between them to lead an
offense that consistently struggled with

talk of the town in New York

By BRIAN MAHONEY
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Just three sea-
sons ago, the Brooklyn Nets were
the worst team in the
NBA.
On Sunday, they
were the story of the
league.
They agreed to
deals with superstars
Kevin Durant and
Kyrie Irving as part Irving
of a sensational start
to free agency, giving the longtime
No. 2 team in New York top billing
in the Big Apple.
They landed two of the top play-
ers available, both perennial All-
Stars and NBA champions, and
they weren’t finished. They also
added center DeAndre Jordan, who
played with Durant and Irving on
the 2016 U.S. Olympic team that
won the gold medal, and veteran
swingman Garrett Temple.
It was such a powerful victory
that the crosstown Knicks even
put out a statement acknowledg-
ing their fans’ disappointment, just
three hours after shopping season
had started.
And it was even more remark-
able given where the Nets were not
long ago.
An ill-fated trade with Boston in
2013, when the Nets acquired Kev-
in Garnett and Paul Pierce in hopes
of competing for a championship
but didn’t even get out of the sec-
ond round, cost them years of high
draft picks and contributed to them
becoming the worst team in the
league.
They bottomed out at 20-62 in
2016-17, when Durant won NBA
Finals MVP in his first season with
Golden State after the Warriors
beat Irving’s Cleveland Cavaliers
for the title.
Now they will try to win one to-
gether.
They might have to wait a year,
as Durant could miss next season
while recovering from a ruptured
Achilles tendon. But with Irving
taking controls of the offense and a
promising young core around him,
the Nets should be a playoff team,
even while Durant recovers.
The Nets got back to the play-
offs last season after going 42-40,
stamping themselves as a team on

on the board when he took his timeout with 1:55
left in his first round and caught fire late, sending
six over the wall in the final minute to move on with
the third-best total in the round.
He stepped to the plate needing at least 13 home
runs in Round 2 to advance to the final. He again
had five to his credit when he called his timeout
just past the halfway point in the round, and once
again, the Clayton, North Carolina, native found his
groove late. Keenan hit five in the final 30 seconds
to tie Duke’s Michael Rothenberg at 25 through
two rounds, but with the higher second-round to-
tal, Keenan won the tiebreaker and became the
first Rebel ever to advance to the finals.
Doersching, who notched the highest total in all
three rounds, set the tone with 20 home runs in his
final round, giving Keenan a tall task. He started
the finals with back-to-back home runs on his first
two swings and had totaled nine before calling tim-
eout at 2:04 in the round. Unfortunately, the Rebel
home run leader from last season didn’t quite have
enough in the tank to complete the rally to 20.
After the impressive showing at the College
Home Run Derby, Keenan will return to the Cape
Cod League and rejoin the Harwich Mariners in
preparation for the 2020 campaign.

Comeback lifts Yanks to London sweep of Red Sox
By The Associated Press
LONDON — Gary Sánchez hit a go-
ahead, two-run single during a nine-run
seventh inning, and the New York Yan-
kees overcame a four-run deficit to beat
the Boston Red Sox 12-8 Sunday for a
two-game sweep of the groundbreak-
ing, high-scoring trip across the pond.
DJ LeMahieu doubled off Marcus
Walden (6-1) leading off the seventh
and hit a two-run double against Josh
Taylor later in the inning as the Yankees
opened an 11-4 lead, sending 14 batters
to the plate in their highest-scoring in-
ning in four years.
Didi Gregorius went deep against
Ryan Brasier in the eighth, extending
New York’s record streak of games with
home runs to 31. Combined with the
Yankees’ 17-13 win Saturday, the teams
scored 50 runs on the weekend, four
more than their previous scoring mark
in consecutive games against each oth-
er.
Adam Ottavino (3-2), the second of
six New York relievers, got the win.
Before a sellout crowd of 59,059 at
Olympic Stadium, Xander Bogaerts,
J.D. Martinez and Christian Vázquez
became the first trio of Boston batters
in four decades to hit home runs in the
first inning.
n RAYS 6, RANGERS 2: ST. PE-
TERSBURG, Fla. — Blake Snell struck
out 12 over six innings for just his sec-
ond win in 10 starts and Tampa Bay beat
Texas.
Snell (5-7) gave up three hits during
an 80-pitch outing. The reigning AL Cy
Young Award winner had an 11.94 ERA
in five previous starts this month.
Tommy Pham homered for the Rays,
who won consecutive games for the first
time since June 9-10. The first AL wild
card leaders went 13-16 in June.
After Kevin Kiermaier had an RBI
single and Willy Adames added a
run-scoring single off Jesse Chavez (3-
3) the fourth, Pham’s fifth-inning solo
shot made it 4-2.
n ASTROS 6, MARINERS 1:
HOUSTON — Rookie Yordan Alvarez
drove in three to back up seven strong
innings by Gerrit Cole and help Houston
over Seattle to complete a three-game
sweep.
Cole (8-5), who allowed just four sin-
gles after a solo homer to J.P. Crawford,
struck out 10 and walked one to win his
fourth straight decision. Cole leads the
American League with 151 strikeouts
this season.
Mariners starter Marco Gonzales (9-
7) allowed six hits and three runs while
walking three in five innings to snap a
four-game winning streak in his first
loss since June 2.
After consecutive one-run wins in the
10th inning, the Astros didn’t need any
late dramatics in this one. They padded
the lead with a three-run eighth inning
highlighted by a two-RBI single by Jake
Marisnick.
n WHITE SOX 4, TWINS 3:

Giolito (11-2) allowed one hit in five in-
nings to earn his major league-leading

11th victory and Chicago beat Minneso-
ta.
Yoán Moncada homered, and he and
José Abreu had three hits apiece for the
White Sox, who won two of three against
the AL Central-leading Twins.
Nelson Cruz homered for the Twins,
who had won eight of nine against Chi-
cago.
Lewis Thorpe (0-1), a 23-year-old
left-hander from Melbourne, Australia,
made his major league debut for the
Twins. He allowed two runs and five
hits, struck out seven and walked two in
five innings.
n DODGERS 10, ROCKIES 5:
DENVER — Joc Pederson had three
hits and three RBIs, Matt Beaty doubled
twice and drove in two, and Los Angeles
rallied past Colorado to split their four-
game series.
Kenta Maeda pitched into the fifth
but didn’t figure in the decision. He had
a hand in the Dodgers’ first two runs,
though, singling and scoring in the
third and laying down a sacrifice bunt
that helped bring Kiké Hernandez home
in the fifth.
Dylan Floro (3-2) got two outs to pick
up the win and Julio Urias helped keep
the Rockies in check with three score-
less innings in relief.
Chad Bettis (1-4) was charged with
six runs while getting one out.
n NATIONALS 2, TIGERS 1: DE-
TROIT — Max Scherzer struck out 14
against his former team and Anthony
Rendon homered for the second straight
game as Washington topped Detroit.
Scherzer (8-5) returned to Comerica
Park for the first time since leaving as
a free agent after the 2014 season and
stuck out double-digit batters for the
fourth straight outing.
Rendon’s blast came off Joe Jimenez
(2-6), who allowed a home run and a
walk to the only two batters he faced.
Detroit’s Jordan Zimmermann, who
also was starting against his former
team, struck out four batters in six in-
nings, allowing one run.
n BREWERS 2, PIRATES 1: MIL-
WAUKEE — Eric Thames homered
leading off the eighth inning, and Mil-
waukee beat Pittsburgh.
Thames, who entered as a pinch-hit-
ter in the sixth, blasted an 0-1 pitch
from Pirates reliever Kyle Crick (3-4) to
straightaway center, a 432-foot shot that
hit just below the scoreboard.
Milwaukee took two of three from its
NL Central rival and moved into a first-
place tie with the Chicago Cubs, who
lost to Cincinnati. The Brewers finished
their homestand at 5-5.
Jeremy Jeffress (2-2) pitched a score-
less eighth, and Matt Albers worked the
ninth to pick up his first save of the sea-
son.
n REDS 8, CUBS 6: CINCINNATI
— Eugenio Suarez ended his slump with
Cincinnati’s longest homer of the sea-

TIMORE — Shane Bieber allowed three
hits and struck out 11 over eight daz-

two and Cleveland edged Baltimore to
avert a three-game sweep.
Coming off successive 13-0 losses to
the team with the worst record in the
majors, the Indians turned it around
behind Bieber (7-3). The left-hander did
not issue a walk, retired 12 straight at
one point and permitted only one runner
past first base.
Brad Hand gave up two singles and
a two-out walk to load the bases in
the ninth before striking out Anthony
Santander for his 23rd save. He was
named an All-Star after the game.
Orioles starter Gabriel Ynoa (0-6)

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Matt Chapman hit
a three-run homer, a triple and a three-

his first All-Star team, and Oakland beat
Los Angeles to take three of four from
its AL West rival.
Chapman racked up a career-high six
RBIs starting with his 21st homer in the
fifth inning, shortly before he learned of
his selection to the midseason showcase
in Cleveland.
Shohei Ohtani hit two homers for
the Angels, who wrapped up their final

losing three straight at home to a team

Andrew Heaney (1-2) yielded five

All-Stars McNeil, Alonso rally Mets past Braves to snap skid

By MIKE FITZPATRICK
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — What be-
gan as a thrilling day for Mets
youngsters Jeff McNeil and
Pete Alonso got even better by

Stars had the big hits in a five-

US beats Curacao 1-0, plays Jamaica in Gold Cup semifinals

By DAVE ZEITLIN
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Christian Pulis-
ic and the United States are headed to
the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals
after an underwhelming performance
against Curacao.
The U.S. was outplayed
during the second half by
the world’s 79th-ranked
national team but man-
aged to advance with a 1-0
win Sunday night behind
Weston McKennie’s goal
in the 25th minute. Pulisic
The defending champi-
on U.S. extended its Gold Cup winning
streak to nine and will play Jamaica on
Wednesday at Nashville, Tennessee, in
the second semifinal, a night after Mex-
ico faces Haiti at Glendale, Arizona. The
U.S. reached the semifinals for the 10th
straight Gold Cup and 14th in 15 overall.
“When you get to the knockout stag-
es, everyone wants to move on to the
next round and they’re giving absolutely
everything,” Pulisic said. “Curacao 100
percent wanted that — you could see
that in the way they played.”
Pulisic, the Americans’ star midfield-
er, captained the U.S. for the second time
and fed fellow 20-year-old McKennie for
the goal. Pulisic cut in from a flank and
crossed, and McKennie headed in the
ball from 4 yards for his second goal in
12 international appearances.
“That’s one of my strengths, running
into the box late,” McKennie said. “I al-
ways tell him to look for me. He knows to
look for me. That’s a little something we
work on together.”
Playing near his hometown of Her-
shey, Pulisic shot just wide in the sec-
ond minute and was denied in the fourth
when goalkeeper Eloy Room, while fall-
ing to his left, reached to his right to tip
his shot over the crossbar.
“I wanted to lead the team from the
start,” Pulisic said. “In the end, we need-
ed to finish more chances to make it
much easier on ourselves.”
Curacao had 60 percent possession in
the second half and outshot the U.S. 15-
10 overall. American goalkeeper Zack
Steffen, a native of suburban Philadel-
phia, made a leaping save on Leandro
Bacuna in the 84th minute.
The 30th-ranked Americans have
outscored opponents 12-0 in the tour-
nament, the championship of North and
Central America and the Caribbean, and
have held opponents scoreless for 405
minutes overall.
Gregg Berhalter, hired as U.S. coach
in December, said it was a tactical de-
cision to fall back and not press in the
second half, which allowed Curacao to
control possession.
“When you look at these quarterfinal
matches, they’re all tight matches,” Ber-
halter told reporters. “You guys wanted
us to go out there and beat them 5-0. But
we knew it was going to be a difficult
game.”
This will be the third straight Gold
Cup in which the U.S. and Jamaica meet
in the knockout stage. The Reggae Boyz
upset the U.S. in the 2015 semifinals,
and the Americans defeated Jamaica in
the 2017 final.
Berhalter returned to the same start-
ing lineup he used for the initial group
stage matches against Guyana and then
Trinidad and Tobago. With the U.S. as-
sured of advancing, Berhalter changed
all 11 starters against Panama for the
group stage finale.
Berhalter has had nine different cap-
tains in 10 games. Pulisic’s only previous
game as captain was in a 1-0 exhibition
defeat to Italy last Nov. 20 under interim
coach Dave Sarachan.
“It was something that he readily ac-
cepted,” Berhalter said. “He’s a guy that
despite getting fatigued in the game, he
didn’t stop working.”

Free agency: The waiting for Kawhi continues

By TIM REYNOLDS
The Associated Press
The waiting for Kawhi Leonard’s
decision continues.
And it might last for a few days.
Monday marks the first full day
of NBA free agency — roughly $2.5
billion in contract commitments
were made in the first six hours
that followed the official begin-
ning at 6:01 p.m. EDT Sunday —
and there’s still many unanswered
questions. Leonard is the biggest

for better results in 2019.
“More than anything we’ve gone back and watched
last years cut-ups and sat down to put our installation
plan in for fall camp and identified who our playmakers
are and ways to get them the ball,” Moorhead said. “We
just have to continue to run the ball with a high level
of success, improve on that and also become a more
explosive, efficient team in the passing game.”
Dantzler continues quest toward elite status
In the spring, junior cornerback Cam Dantzler and
his position coach, Terrell Buckley, made one belief
quite clear: Dantzler is cornerback in the country.
That said, Moorhead believes there still is room
for improvement in the second-team All-Southeastern
Conference corner’s game.
“When you look at strictly the physical characteris-
tics, he’s tall, he’s got great length, he’s got excellent
speed, he excels in press, cloud and off coverage,”
Moorhead said. “I think the thing you’re going to see
this year is a little bit more size, a little bit more confi-
dence and hopefully the ability to continue building off
what he did last year.”
At 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Dantzler finished 2018 with
43 tackles, one sack, two interceptions and 11 passes
defended. He also ranked second in the SEC among
cornerbacks with a 41.1 passer rating allowed. Sunday’s Cryptoquote:
Given those numbers and another offseason in the
weight room, Dantzler should anchor a well-tested
MSU cornerbacks group alongside senior Maurice
Smitherman.

the rise. Brooklyn might be able to
keep rising all the way to the top af-
ter Sunday’s moves.
Even after winning titles in his
first two seasons with the Warriors,
there was seasonlong speculation
that Durant might leave. But much
of that speculation had been fo-
cused on the Knicks, who had more
than $70 million and the ability to
sign two top free agents after trad-
ing Kristaps Porzingis during the
season.
Right city, but wrong team.
The Nets felt confident with what
they could offer, from their ros-
ter, to their medical staff, to their
facilities. And when they made a
cap-clearing trade last month, they
became even more attractive by
freeing up salary to bring in two
stars.
Irving wasn’t expected to be one
of them a few months ago, after he’d
said last fall he planned to re-sign in
Boston. But despite his good stats it
was a bad season for him with the
Celtics, who were considered an
Eastern Conference favorite but in-
stead lost in the second round.
Irving became frustrated and
reconsidered his plans, deciding
his future was not in Boston, but
in Brooklyn. Now he’ll play for the
team he watched while growing
up in New Jersey, where the Nets
played before moving to Barclays
Center in 2012.
Even when the Nets had better
teams, the Knicks still got more
attention and it sometimes felt as if
they would always be the marquee
team in the city.
That changed Sunday in a New
York minute.
The Nets were not only the talk
of the town but of the whole league,
and when the Knicks were shut out
early on, they took the rare step of
commenting about their situation.
“While we understand that some
Knicks fans could be disappointed
with tonight’s news, we contin-
ue to be upbeat and confident in
our plans to rebuild the Knicks to
compete for championships in the
future, through the draft, targeted
free agents and continuing to build
around our core of young players,”
Knicks President Steve Mills said
in a statement.
The Knicks eventually agreed to
deals with forwards Julius Randle,
Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis, so
they did get something.
Just nowhere near as much as
the Nets.

Golf
Lashley leads wire-to-wire in Detroit for 1st PGA Tour win
By LARRY LAGE
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Nate Lashley
walked toward the 18th green
at Detroit Golf Club on the
verge of winning his first PGA
Tour title, thinking about the
plane crash that killed his par-
ents and girlfriend.
“It was surreal,” Lashley said
Sunday after completing an un-
likely wire-to-wire victory in
the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
“I didn’t know what to think.
There was a lot going through
my mind.”
Lashley closed with a 2-un-
der 70 to finish at 25-under 263
and win by six shots, the mar-
gin he took into the day.
His parents and girlfriend
were killed in a plane crash 15
years ago. He dabbled in real
estate after graduating from
the University of Arizona, brief-
ly quit playing professional golf
several years ago and resumed
playing in the PGA Tour’s mi-
nor leagues.
“Without my parents, I
wouldn’t have started playing
golf when I was little,” said
Lashley, who began playing
when he was 8.
Monday qualifier Doc Red-
man shot a 67 to finish second.
Rory Sabbatini (68) and Wes
Roach (68) were another stroke
back.
The 36-year-old Lashley,
the 353rd ranked player in the
world, slipped into PGA Tour’s
first event in Detroit as an alter-
nate Wednesday.
“It’s a great story — last man
in the field,” he said. “I was hap-
py to get in the field. And to win
it, it’s a dream come true.”
The Nebraskan took full
advantage of the opportunity,
shooting a career-low 63 in the
first round to take a lead he re-
fused to lose. Lashley stayed
atop the leaderboard with a 67
on Friday and gave himself a
cushion with another 9-under
63 Saturday.
On the brink of breaking
through during his second
PGA Tour season, his sister,
girlfriend, buddies and family
friends flew to Detroit to join
him.
Brooke Lashley, who lives
near her younger brother in Ar-
izona, was in awe of as fans fol-
lowed and cheered for her little
brother as they stood along the
ropes from tee to green.
“I’m sure a lot of these people
didn’t know him a couple days
ago,” she said, standing near
the No. 8 green. “He’s doing all
he can to focus, but this is so in-
credible. It’s foreign to him be-
cause he’s never had this much
attention. He’s never played in
front of a gallery like this with
TV cameras all over the place.”
His parents, Rod and Char
Lashley, and girlfriend Leslie
Hofmeister, all of Scottsbluff,
Nebraska, were missing for
three days before their bodies
and the wreckage were found
near the 13,780-foot Gannett
Peak in Wyoming after watch-
ing him play in a tournament
for the University of Arizona in
2004.
“It rocked our community,”
recalled Helen Reinhardt, a
family friend.
Reinhardt and her husband,
Jim, boarded a charter plane in
Nebraska that stopped in Min-
nesota to pick up Lashley’s girl-
friend, Ashlie Reed, and arrived
in the Motor City on Sunday.
“It’s great to be here to
watch his dream come true
after watching him play in the
Dakotas Tour and work his way
up to here,” said Jeff Peck, one
of about a dozen of Lashley’s
friends at Detroit Golf Club.
When Lashley was flipping
houses, he thought his playing
career was over.
Lashley gave the game an-
other shot, playing on the PGA
Tour Latinoamérica circuit in
2015 and moved up to what is
now called the Korn Ferry Tour
two years later.
He made his PGA Tour debut
last season in his mid-30s, but
he had to end his year after 17
events because of a knee injury.

DEAR BOYFRIEND: Some-
thing is clearly wrong here.
Where are you meeting these
women who cheat and lie? You
may need to go fishing in differ-
ent waters. And has it occurred
to you that in your loneliness
you may be trying too hard,
which may scare them off?
Having never met you, I
can’t guess what you might
be doing wrong, if anything.
It’s time to start asking your
married friends why they think
this is happening repeatedly.
Perhaps they can suggest some
“tweaks” or introduce you to
women who will appreciate the
fine qualities you possess.

He can’t understand why I

I don’t understand and that I

ing excitement that comes with
that sort of full commitment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ll manage to do about three
times the work that the others
around you are doing. This is
what experience brings you:
efficiency routes developed over
time, and impressive powers of
focus.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The people who don’t follow
up with what they say they are
going to do lose credibility and
are worse off than they would
have been if they had said and
done nothing at all. The most
important part of establishing
reputation is follow-up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
True partnerships are mutually
supportive. When it’s only one
person doing the supporting,
it’s not a partnership but a
service. Both cases can work,
as long as you realize which
one you’re in and don’t confuse
the two.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The quickest way to take
your mind off your own troubles
is to take care of someone else.
You’ll derive satisfaction and
pride from providing just what
someone needs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Some goals take an awfully
long time to realize, and it would
be wrong, and pointless, to rush
them. Lose the stress, guilt and
frustration over this. It’s all hap-
pening in its own time. A little
work every day will add up.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Make your plans, and know
that life will not feel obligated
to follow them. That’s OK. Ex-
periences are richer and more
interesting for the winding jour-
ney they take to destinations far
from their origins.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). If a thing is overly com-
plicated, it probably won’t get
done today. Results depend on
a simple process. And as the
process develops, it gets even
simpler.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Often doing what works will
also please people, especial-
ly people who like things to
function properly. But that’s not
everyone. There are those who
benefit from dysfunction. Watch
out for them today.
