‘Vote Yes’ group misses campaign finance reporting deadline
Vote Yes for Starkville
Parks, a group that is
advocating in favor of
a one-percent in-
crease to Starkville’s
restaurant and hotel/
motel tax, didn’t file
a campaign finance
report with the city
clerk’s office on
Thursday. The group’s
director says they are
seeking input from the
Secretary of State’s

The Lowndes
County Community
Foundation’s educa-
tional task force is
working to prepare
students for kinder-
garten starting at
birth.
Since education Spears
was a top concern county-wide
during a community conversation
LCF hosted with area stakeholders
in March 2018, the task force sub-
mitted an application to Excel by
5, a community-based certification
group aiming to prepare Mississippi
children, from birth to age 5, for suc-
cess in education. Lowndes County
is now considered a candidate com-
munity for the program.
Jason Spears, Columbus Munic-
ipal School District board president
and chair for the education task
force, said the process of moving
from candidate to certified is now
underway.
Spears said by going through
the process of certification, the task
force will work to ensure parents
know the resources available for
children before kindergarten. For
example, if a child is diagnosed with
autism, Spears said parents need
to know about existing support and
resources the county already has to
offer to help with the child’s develop-
ment.
The first thing to do is figure out
why parents don’t know about those
resources, he said.
“From the candidate phase we
are in now, that’s where we start to
do a thorough analysis to figure out
which gaps exist and why they ex-
ist,” Spears said. “It’s to give us a full
spectrum of what the groundwork

needs to be. Once we identify
those gaps, it gives us an oppor-
tunity to work with other groups
and individuals to form plans on
how we address those issues.”
Excel by 5 Director Eileen
Beazley will help the task force
brainstorm goals during a public
meeting Thursday in room 120 at
Mississippi University for Wom-
en’s Education Building at 1 p.m.
“One of the things our com-
mittee discussed was where to
start,” Spears said. “You can
focus yourself on career and
college ready and make sure
students are finishing up and
focused on becoming produc-
tive citizens, but the schools,
public and private, are already
putting a big emphasis on that.
We thought, ‘Let’s dial it back
and focus on where the basic
level of education exists.’ That’s
when they’re born until they’re
5. ...This (meeting) is going to
broadcast what it will look like
once we get to that level (and)
what work will have to be done
along the way to get us on track
to deliver that for parents and
children in the community.”
There are 38 communities
in Mississippi that are certified
with Excel by 5, including Ok-
tibbeha County and West Point.
Penny Mansell, MUW director
of child and parent development,
reached out to Excel by 5 last
year in an effort to add Lowndes
County to that list.
With the Lowndes County
education task force behind her,
she said she is excited to work on
childhood development through-
out the county.
“It is something that needs to
happen,” Mansell said. “The big-
gest thing for me was we need to
make sure we all understand the
services we have available. We’ve
got all these pieces but people
don’t always know where to find
them.”
Mansell said the process from
candidate community to certi-
fied community typically takes
up to two years. With a slew of
educational support already ex-
isting in Lowndes County, such
as programs and resources at
the library, Imagination Library
and childhood development pro-
grams, she said that it may not
take two years to become certi-
fied.
“We’ve got so many of the
pieces already available,”
Mansell said. “It’s just a matter
that everybody is fully knowl-
edgeable about the services our
community already provides. It’s
not so much ... new things that
we are going to add as much as it
is communicating the things we
are doing and how we can build
onto that.”
Community members are
welcome to join the meeting,
where the task force will discuss
the key areas of Excel by 5: com-
munity involvement, family and
parent support, early care and
education, and health.
Spears added, once certified,
stakeholders in Lowndes County
can work with Excel by 5 and put
measures into place to help curb
educational deficiencies within
the county.
“It creates an opportunity for
Lowndes County to share ideas
and have a system of commu-
nication (with other counties),”
Spears said. “Our community
can model what they did in Ox-
ford, or what happened on the
coast that had a strong impact on
the community. It’s a great plat-
form. It’s not the answer to all the
questions, but it gives us a hub
of information (on what) other
communities are doing and hav-
ing success, to incorporate that
in our community.”

with Pastor Joseph L Hawkins officiating. Burial
will follow at Chickie Hill Cemetery. Visitation
is from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Friday at West Memorial
Funeral Home.
Mrs. Thomas was reared in the Starkville area
and attended High School at OCTS in Starkville,
Mississippi. She was the daughter of educators
and a minister, therefore her love for God was
deeply imbedded from birth. She united with
Pleasant Hill U. M. Church as a child, and later as
a teenager, joined Peter’s Rock Temple Church of
God in Christ in Starkville. In 1968, she moved to
Chicago, Illinois and joined Bethlehem Healing
Temple, under the leadership of Bishop Charles
E Poole. After moving to another area of the city,
she united with Greater Garfield Missionary
Baptist Church and remained an active member
until her health failed.
Sister Drungole Thomas was a faithful
member and served in numerous capacities in
the church. For 26 years, her joy was ushering.
She served in the Usher League of her church.
In addition, she served in the Austin Zone Usher
League and also the the State and National
Usher League. She was chairman of the National
Doorkeepers for the State of Illinois for several
years and reigned as Queen for the National
Doorkeepers of America, being selected in a
field of contestants from all 50 states. She was
indeed a committed servant. Mrs. Thomas
often raised funds generally for the church and
sponsored benefit programs for families in need.
In addition, she was a major fundraiser for the
Greater Garfield Annual Tea and Banquet, which
provided church and pastoral support.
From childhood to adult hood, Mrs. Thomas
major concern was to provide help to those in
need. Her pleasant smile and kind spiritual
personality reached out to many people. She
never had a big “I” or a little “you”. She would say,
“We are all God’s children; He loves us all and if
we are to be like Him, we must love everybody.”
She enjoyed traveling and quoting scriptures.
Listening to Gospel music was her Passion. She
would tell visitors and family in almost every
conversation, “Stay with the Lord.”
Mrs. Thomas worked at Concordia College in
Illinois as an Institutional Cook for over 30 years
and owned her own catering service.
Surviving are her four daughters, Linda D.
Drungole, Victoria L. Drungole, Judge Paula
Drungole-Ellis (George, Sr.) and Daphanie L. Lee
( Johnny) of Starkville, MS; three sons, Ronald H.
Drungole, Raymond M. Drungole of Starkville,
MS and Darrell S. Thomas, Sr. of Oak Park, IL;
two granddaughters, Portia Ellis of Baton Rouge,
LA, and Savannah Lee of Starkville, MS; six
grandsons, Phillip M. Drungole, Jonathan Lee,
George Ellis, Jr., William Paul Ellis and Jacob M.
Lee of Starkville, MS and Darrell S. Thomas, Jr.
of Oak Park, IL; one great-grandson; one nephew;
and a host of other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents;
spouses, Carl F. Drungole and James Thomas;
sister, Mary Louise Cummings Bloomfield; and
three children, Roland H. Drungole, Glenda Fay
Drungole and infant, Carol Suzette Drungole.

Our View

State-wide pre-K education would be excellent

compliment to Third-Grade Gate
Can the quality of educa-
tion be reduced to a simple
mathematical equation?
As much as we would like,
it’s not that simple.
A good case in point is the
third-grade reading proficien-
cy requirements adopted by
Mississippi in 2014, which
tests third-graders to deter-
mine if those students can
read at a third grade level.
Often referred to as “third-
grade gate,” the testing
requires students to demon-
strate the grade-level reading
competency. Students have
up to three chances to meet
the minimum level require-
ments. If they fail to do so,
they must repeat third grade.
Last year, 25 students in
Lowndes and Oktibbeha
County were returned to
third grade this year.
This year, the pass rate for
those schools slipped. Only
60.9 percent of third-grad-
ers in Columbus met the
requirements. In Oktibbeha
County, 68.4 percent passed.
Lowndes County third-grad-
ers passed at a 87.2 rate, well
above the state average of
74.5 percent.
Those numbers do not
necessarily reflect a step
back, however.
Rather, the lower scores
reflect the higher standard
to which students are being
held. Student performance on
the test is graded on Levels
1 through 5. Last year, any
student who attained Level
2, was considered to have
passed. This year, a passing
score required the student to
attain a Level 3 score.
This year, there were 305
students in Lowndes and Ok-
tibbeha counties who failed
to reach Level 3 in the first
test. The second test was
administered last week and
results will be announced
later this month. A third test
will be offered in June.
The intentions of the third-
grade gate are good. Reading
is the foundation of virtually
all learning and students
who cannot read at grade
level by third grade often not
only make up the deficit but
fall further behind. We’ve all
heard stories of high school
students who can barely
read.
Allowing students to
move from one grade to the
next without regard to their
aptitude is derisively called
“social promotion.”
That term is judgmental
and punitive.
We absolutely agree
that students should meet
grade-level standards as they
progress through the K-12
process. But we believe that
retaining children should be
an absolute last resort, based
on a thorough understanding
of the child’s circumstances.
We argue that to the
extend the third-grade gate
is used to evaluate a child’s
reading ability, it should be
applied judiciously. Holding a
child back might be the sim-
ple response, but it is often
not the best response.
Children who struggle in
the classroom should have
access to the resources they
need and one of the best
resources is a fully-funded
state-wide Pre-K program,
something that our state has
failed to provide.
When children are ex-
posed to the world of learn-
ing at age 3 or 4, there is a
wealth of evidence that shows
they perform significantly
better once they reach first
grade.
This is especially true for
children who live in poverty,
often with little exposure to
books before entering school.
Those children are behind
before they even start.
If third-grade gate proves
anything, it’s that many of
our children could benefit
greatly from Pre-K education.
It’s time our state made
that investment.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Cartoonist view

Concerned with airport decision
In response to the articles on hiring a consultant for the
Columbus-Lowndes County Airport, I agree totally with The
Dispatch. What are we missing here? The Lowndes Co. Airport
Board, along with Mr. Milburn, chose Mr. Rabren to do a job. Was
Mr. Milburn paid during the interview process? In my opinion Mr.
Rabren is doing a fantastic job. This young man has an education
at Delta State in aviation management. This should be a slap in
the face for Mr. Rabren. He is young, but very motivated. Colum-
bus-Lowndes County Airport will never be a Hartsfield Atlanta
airport. And how come we never hear from Mr. Jeff Smith, after
all he is the board president. It’s always Mr. Armstrong’s quotes
in the paper. Maybe the city could save this money and spend it
on a consultant to curb spending and managing what little money
they have. I personally have been mislead by our officials in this
city and county. Maybe the county could buy out the city’s part of
the airport and run smoothly.
Hate to see the day when we lose Mr. Sanders in the Super-
visor board. So come election time please cast your ballots with
much scrutiny. Wake up Columbus.

NAMASTE
The conservatives are
on the march State of the nation
Trump immigration policy:
Recently the world’s largest dem-
ocratic country, India, finished a
marathon election, which started on

mean but phony

11th April and ended 19th May. There
are 900 million eligible voters out of
almost 1.4 billion people. Amazingly,
no violence, no killing. It went very
peacefully. Interestingly, the polling
officers had to travel a long way to
go to a remote hilly area and arrange
a booth just for a single voter. There
were one million polling stations and
10 million officials to conduct the elec- Jiben Roy
tion. It is not a 2- or 3-party elections –
more than 450 parties — mostly regional — participated in the
election.
Once finished, exit polls started surfacing and Indian media
suggested that the incumbent conservative Modi government
would come back again in Delhi. And in this case, the exit polls
and media didn’t fail like they did in the 2016 US elections.
This Thursday morning, the counting of votes is almost at
the finishing stage and projected results matched (or better)
with that of the exit polls. Mr. Narendra Modi of the conserva-
tive Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), once again will win the Indi-
an election in a landslide. Out of 543 seats, BJP alone secured
almost 300 seats, far ahead of the magic number 272.
In fact, the conservatives are marching around the world.
Very recently, Australia and Indonesia have an election where
we saw similar trends. In Indonesia, the winner has a running
mate who is a fundamentalist cleric. Within this year, elections
were also held in Israel and Brazil. And in 2016, the US had it.
In the US there are so many ultra-conservative sects but also
very peaceful communities such as Amish, Mormon or others,
who don’t want to think outside of their community. Similarly,
conservative government wants to isolate themselves by build-
ing a wall and forget about immigration or refugees or hunger
in other parts of the world. In trade or business there has to be a
50 – 50 deal.
On the other hand, liberalism makes chaos, and sometimes
more violence too. In the long run, various problems do arise.
This world in the past has witnessed liberalism, communism
and also fundamentalism. It is hard to say which one is better. It
all depends on what situation one has gone through.
I wonder if there used to be centrists in power too, who if
required could bend a little bit towards either left or right.
However, one thing is for sure, the extreme left is gone out of
the world. The far right is not. But the world has seen what
happened during far right nationalist, Nazi rule during Hitler’s
time.
It goes without saying, whatever the orientation of politics,
ordinary people want peace, stability, freedom and natural
death.

You’d think from
all the bombast and
military shows at the
border that Donald
Trump is truly dedicated
to ending illegal immi-
gration. His apparent
choice of Ken Cuccinelli
as immigration “czar”
would seem to cement
the impression. The
immigration hardliner
espouses policies that Froma Harrop
are both cruel -- denying
citizenship to Ameri-
can-born children of undocumented immigrants
-- and truly stupid -- letting companies fire em-
ployees who don’t speak English at work.
Trump, however, blew his cover following
his release of an actually sensible immigration
proposal. The plan would scale back family-based
immigration in favor of a preference for foreign-
ers with needed skills. Good idea. Canada does
it. But something was definitely missing: a means
to stop employers from hiring workers without
papers.
The system to do that is already in place. It’s
called E-Verify. E-Verify is a database that en-
ables companies to quickly check a prospective
new hire’s right to work in this country.
Paging Donald Trump. Paging Donald Trump.
Asked on Fox News whether his immigra-
tion proposals would include E-Verify, Trump
responded that it could “possibly” be part of it.
“E-Verify is so tough that in some cases, like
farmers, they’re not -- they’re not equipped for
E-Verify,” he said.
Oh, really? Does Trump think farmers don’t
have laptops?
As long as foreigners can get jobs in the U.S.
paying many times what they do back home,
they’re going to come here. You can’t blame
them for trying. Many of us would do the same.
Meanwhile, our undocumented immigrants are
overwhelmingly good people. They all deserve
humane treatment.
But we have our own low-skilled workers to
protect, and that requires limiting the number of
the foreign-born competing for their jobs. E-Ver-
ify, or a system like it, is the only effective way of
unplugging the job magnet that attracts undocu-
mented workers. Walls two miles high won’t do it.
Trump’s game, however, is to make a show of
abusing and humiliating impoverished Central
Americans while wink-winking at businesses that
use the illegal labor. If Trump wants to ensure
that U.S. agriculture gets the farm workers it
needs, he can man up and support changing the
laws to admit more people. They may not be as
cheap, but that’s legal labor for you.
By the way, E-Verify was part of a comprehen-
sive immigration reform bill that passed the Sen-
ate six years ago with votes from both parties.
It could have passed the House with bipartisan
support, but then-House Speaker John Boehner
refused to bring it up for a vote because a majori-
ty of his fellow Republicans opposed it.
Some of the bill’s foes pointed to the 1986 im-
migration reform, which gave amnesty to many
undocumented workers but failed to stop the
illegal flow into the country. And they were right
about that. Job applicants could present stolen or
counterfeit Social Security cards or other doc-
uments, and if they looked OK (more winking),
the employer was off the hook.
But the 2013 bill’s inclusion of E-Verify fixed
that flaw. Face it. There’s no talking to people
whose real issue is the color of the immigrants.
Another hint that he doesn’t really mean busi-
ness on immigration is his omitting any mention
of those brought to the country illegally as chil-
dren. Polls show that Americans overwhelmingly
support legalizing the status of these so-called
Dreamers.
Whenever things get slow, Trump moves to a
“tougher message,” such as naming Cuccinelli
immigration czar. Interesting that Cuccinelli
once said he considered not getting a Social
Security card for his newborn “because it’s being
used to track you.”
So much for E-Verify, which tracks Social
Security numbers.
Then again, on immigration, Trump is mainly
messaging to his base. And the bigger the mess,
the better the message.

Pilgrimage
Continued from Page 1A
CVB Executive
Director Nancy Car-
penter told The Dis-
patch she allocated 24
docents to Novotny’s
home, the most do-
cents sent to any one
home during Pilgrim-
age. Frances Glenn, Carpenter
who coordinates Pilgrimage volun-
teers, said she hosted two events at
the Columbus Air Force Base to re-
cruit volunteers for antebellum home
tours. About two-thirds of volunteers
come from the base, she said, and
she tries to recruit from as many oth-
er sources as possible.
“Quite honestly, I’m on the phone,
calling people, talking to people on
the PTA, kids I know, people at (East
Mississippi Community College) ... I
feel like we go above and beyond to
get volunteers,” Glenn said.
Novotny believes the issues would
be solved if CVB solicited input from
homeowners and began distributing
promotional brochures for Pilgrim-
age earlier. This year, Novotny said
she didn’t see any promotional mate-
rials until about a month before Pil-
grimage began.
“We do Pilgrimage because it
brings visitors to Columbus and
helps the economy,” Novotny said.
“But I think because (homeowners)
are such a part of it, there should be
more input between us and the CVB.
“It’s kind of been in a decline for
a few years,” she later added. “I just
feel the homeowners aren’t really in-
volved in anything. If we ... did have a
little more communication and input,
and our input was taken seriously, I
think we would have more success.”
The promotional brochures were
printed late this year due to financial
concerns, Glenn said.
“It’s a good $10,000 to print bro-
chures, so we ... didn’t want to print
until funding was positive,” she said.
“The brochures were late going out
and we were disappointed in that. ...
I hate that homeowners felt like we
didn’t give it our all because we really
did.”
Carpenter added that, while the
brochures were late, the CVB sent
out 10,000 rack cards to promote the
2019 Pilgrimage beginning in March
2018.
She also told The Dispatch that
homeowners — or anyone involved
in Pilgrimage — are always welcome
to provide her with input.
“This is the first I’ve heard of this
and it makes me so sad,” she said.
“If anyone has any concerns, they
should feel free to come sit down
with me.”
Despite funding uncertainty,
another ‘successful’ year
There were concerns over Pil-
grimage funding after a 2-percent
sales tax at restaurants, which ac-
counted for most of the CVB’s fund-
ing, expired last year and had to
be reinstated by the Legislature in
March.
Carpenter said CVB made ends
meet thanks to two grants — one for
$20,000 from nonprofit Mississip-
pi Hills Area Heritage Alliance and
one for $16,000 from the Mississippi
Development Authority — and “very
careful advertising.”
Despite the uncertainty, this
year’s Pilgrimage was as successful
— though not more so — as previous
years, bringing in thousands of visi-
tors and an estimated economic im-
pact of more $600,000, she said.
Carpenter estimates between
8,000 and 10,000 people attended
this year’s Pilgrimage. More than
1,400 attended Tales from the Crypt,
the annual performance by students
from the Mississippi School for
Mathematics and Science to share
stories of people from the city’s past.
The newest attraction — the But-
tahatchie Barn Trail, which is on its
second year — brought nearly 500
visitors.
The entire Pilgrimage’s estimated
economic impact of $600,000 includ-
ed overnight stays, meals and shop-
ping. Pilgrimage ticket sales, grants
and donations alone took in about
$90,000, a success Carpenter credits
to the variety of events available.
“We’ve really diversified,” Car-
penter said. “During my time, we’ve
come up with different events. The
more options you have, the more di-
verse your guests are.”
Carpenter said that in preparation
for future Pilgrimages, she will con-
tinue to apply for grant funding and
said the financial constraints helped
the CVB evaluate where and how to
spend Pilgrimage funds in the future.
“We’re making some real positive
changes,” she said. “There are really
good things that came from looking
hard at our programs and ... applying
for more grants and funding. I think
it was still a big success.”
The CVB has already begun
planning a series of special events to
commemorate next year’s 80th Pil-
grimage, including a birthday party
on March 26 in honor of Tennessee
Williams, she said.
Though Pilgrimage attendance
remained level from last year, Car-
penter believes that will change as
the CVB focuses its efforts on attract-
ing groups of tourists to Columbus
for Pilgrimage.
“We’re really concentrating on
bringing in overnight visitors be-
cause they have the greatest econom-
ic impact,” she said.

port,” Gregory said.
Gregory added that he
has since called the Secre-
tary of State’s Office back to
seek further clarification on
whether the group needs to
submit a campaign finance
report.
“If they make us do it,
I’ve got no problem doing
it,” he said. “We’re not try-
ing to hide anything. It’s
just going to take some time
to sit down and do it.”
A spokesperson for
the Secretary of State’s
Office told The Dispatch
on Thursday that a group
like Vote Yes for Starkville
Parks, which distributes
signs and similar materials,
should file a statement of or-
ganization within 48 hours
of raising or spending $200
dollars and should submit
campaign finance reports.
Vote Yes for Starkville
Parks did file its statement
of organization, on April 9.
The Secretary of State’s
2019 Campaign Finance
Guide, citing Mississippi
Code Sec. 23-15-801(c), de-
fines a political committee
as any committee, party,
club, association, political
action committee, or oth-
er group that receives or
spends more than $200 to-
tal in a calendar year “for
the purpose of influencing
or attempting to influence
the actions of voters with
regard to a candidate or bal-
loted measure.”
The guide further states
that political committees
are required to file “reports
of receipts and disburse-
ments in accordance with
the same reporting sched-
ule as the candidates for or
against whom the commit-
tee is receiving contribu-
tions and making disburse-
ments for the purpose of
influencing or attempting
to influence voters.”
Mississippi Code Sec.
23-15-805(c), which is a part
of the statute that lays out
campaign finance reporting
law, says candidates in mu-
nicipal elections and politi-
cal committees that make
reportable contributions or
expenditures for or against
candidates or “in support
of or in opposition to a mu-
nicipal ballot measure shall
file all reports required by
this article in the office of
the municipal clerk of the
municipality in which the
election occurs,” or to the
Secretary of State’s Office.
The Secretary of State’s
Office did not receive any
filings from the Vote Yes for
Starkville Parks group.

In Ward 5, Beatty led
the three-candidate field
with $1,395 in fundraising.
Beatty’s file reports that
he’s spent $1,316.52, leav-
ing him with $78.48 cash
on hand. Beatty’s contri-
butions and expenses are
listed as itemized on his
report, but a detailed sheet
listing each donation and
expense was not available
at the city clerk’s office.
Candidates are sup-
posed to itemize any dona-
tion or expenditure of $200

VanHorn raised $450,
$250 of which came from
an itemized donation from
the Sigma Chi fraternity at

Bjork hired
as Texas A&M
athletic director
The Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION,
Texas — Ross Bjork has
been hired as Texas A&M’s
athletic director.
Bjork, who is the athletic
director at the University of
Mississippi, will take over
for Scott Woodward, who
left for the same job at LSU Bjork
last month.
Bjork won’t start at Texas A&M until
July 8 and R.C. Slocum will remain the
interim athletic director until then before
transitioning back to special assistant to
the president of the university.
Bjork has been the AD at Ole Miss since
2012. He helped the department increase
its revenue from $57 million to $117 million.
Before taking over at Ole Miss, Bjork
was the athletic director at Western Ken-
tucky from 2010-12. From 2005-10 he was

Bleday were feeling each other out.
Like a pair of prized fighters,
the two top-flight talents took
turns poking and prodding the oth-
er from the mound or batter’s box.
Two balls and a strike opened
their initial meeting in the first in-
ning of Vanderbilt’s 1-0 win. Anoth-
er strike, a ball and a foul tip loaded
the count. At 3-2, Small missed the
zone to gift Bleday first base.
Score one for the Commodore.

Small and Bleday renewed their
matchup in the third. Small again
opened the at-bat with a ball, put-
ting Bleday ahead 1-0. Three foul
balls worked him ahead in the
count 1-2 before he blew a swing-
ing strike past Bleday to earn the
first out of the inning.
The tipping point came in the
fifth. With a runner on second,
Small quickly led with a foul ball
and a swinging strike. A missed
third pitch brought Bleday back,
1-2.
As he wandered off the mound,
Small audibly yelled “Yeah! Come
on!” as he twice flexed in a goril-
la-like motion. Advantage MSU’s
ace.
“He threw some nice breaking
balls in there and also threw some
elevated fastballs,” Lemonis said of
Small. “His stuff was really good
all night.”
Small finished his night allow-
ing just one run on three hits in
seven innings pitched. He also
added 11 strikeouts — moving him

Ala. shuts out Texas, 3-0, in Game One of Tuscaloosa Super Regional
The Crimson Tide post its first shutout
in Super Regional play since 2015
From Special Reports
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Al-
abama softball was lights-out
in the circle to open its Super
Regional series against Texas
Thursday night, shutting out
the Longhorns, 3-0.
The shutout is Alabama’s
(56-7) first in Super Regional
play since blanking Oklahoma
in game two of the 2015 series.
The Crimson Tide struck first
against Texas (45-16) with a
two-run home run from senior
Merris Schroder in the third
inning with an added insurance
run from freshman Skylar Wal-
lace on a fielding error in the
fourth. The Alabama defense
and freshman Montana Fouts
(18-4) did the rest, with the
rookie right-hander allowing
just three hits and no walks in
the complete-game shutout.
“Montana had a bounce-
back game tonight with no
walks and five k’s against a very
good team,” UA head coach Pat-
rick Murphy said. “It was just
a much better performance.
Steph [VanBrakle Prothro] told
the team postgame that [Fouts]
basically hit every spot except
for the ball that was hit right
back at her, and after that she
just finished the deal. It was just
a good opening Super Regional
win.”
Junior Bailey Hemphill’s
standup double in the fourth
inning stretched her current
reached-base streak to 35
games, tied for the second-lon-
gest in program history. A
fifth-inning single from junior
Elissa Brown improved her
current hitting streak to four
games, having earned a hit
in every game of the NCAA
Tournament so far. Sopho-
more Kaylee Tow drew a walk
to improve her season total to
64, now just two shy of Cassie
Reilly-Boccia’s single-season
record from 2010.
After two perfect innings for
both teams, Texas got the first
baserunner of the day in the top
of the third on a one-out fielding
error. A sacrifice bunt moved
her into scoring position, now
with two outs, before Fouts
got out of the inning with a
swinging strikeout. Sophomore
Maddie Morgan was hit by a
pitch to lead off the Tide half
of the third and, with freshman
pinch-runner Kloyee Anderson
in at first base, an errant throw
on a pickoff attempt moved her
into scoring position. A sacri-
fice bunt pushed her up 60 feet
and Schroder made the first hit
of the day a big one, blasting a
two-run home run to right field
to put Alabama ahead, 2-0.
The Longhorns got their
first hit of the day in the top of
the fourth, a leadoff bunt sin-
gle. Another single two batters
later would put two on with one
out but a strikeout and flyout

SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT

Ole Miss rallies in 9th to beat
Texas A&M 1-0
HOOVER, Ala. — Cole Zabows-
ki’s two-out double in the ninth
brought home the game’s only run as
Mississippi edged Texas A&M 1-0 in
a Southeastern Conference Tourna-
ment elimination game Thursday de-
spite going hitless for the first eight
innings.
The seventh-seeded Rebels (35-
24) face the loser of Thursday’s game
between No. 2 seed Arkansas and
No. 3 seed Georgia.
Texas A&M’s John Doxakis
struck out 10 and walked four in eight
innings of no-hit ball but left after
throwing 99 pitches.
This marked the second straight
day the sixth-seeded Aggies (37-21-1)
failed to score and wasted a brilliant
pitching performance. Chris Weber
held Georgia hitless for the first 7
1/3 innings of a 2-0 loss to Georgia
on Wednesday.
Ole Miss’ Doug Nikhazy (7-3)
and Parker Caracci combined on a
four-hitter. Caracci got his ninth save.
Wild pitch, errant throw help
LSU rally past Auburn 4-3
In a bizarre finish, No. 5 seed
LSU scored the tying and winning
runs after a wild pitch in the bottom
of the ninth to defeat No. 8 seed Au-
burn 4-3 in a Southeastern Confer-
ence Tournament elimination game
Thursday.
LSU trailed 3-2 and had runners
on second and third with one out
when Auburn reliever Brooks Fuller
threw a pitch in the dirt. After catch-
er Matt Scheffler blocked the pitch,
he looked for the ball and inadver-
tently kicked it several yards away.
LSU (36-24) plays the loser of
Thursday night’s game between
No. 1 seed Vanderbilt and No. 4
seed Mississippi State. Auburn (33-
26) awaits the release of the NCAA
Tournament bracket Monday.

er’s mound. Gilbert also
boarded the bases when
he was hit by a pitch.
First it was Mangum
with a chance to break
out the dramatics. As
his walk-up song “Your
Love” by The Outfield
blared over the Hoover
Metropolitan Stadium
loudspeakers, the gath-
ered maroon-and-white-
clad fans rose to their
feet in support. Instead
of delivering, Mangum
reverted to his recent
4-for-32 funk over the
past six games — watch-
ing a questionable strike
at his knees pass by for
second out of the inning.
Jordan was then of-
fered an opportunity on
the ensuing at bat but
grounded out to second
to end the threat.
Asked postgame
whether there was any-
thing different Lemonis
would like to see out his
offense he kept his an-
swer succinct.
“Yeah, some more
hits,” Lemonis said.
Among those MSU
batters struggling the
most is Westburg. He
finished the night 0-for-
3 with a hit by pitch.
Westburg is now 8-for-
55 in the month of May
— bringing his average
down from .385 in early
April to .297 following
Thursday’s loss.
In an effort to combat
his hitting woes, Lemo-
nis moved Westburg to
the No. 7 hole and shift-
ed Jordan into his place
at No. 2 against the Com-
modores.
While the offense
sputtered, redshirt junior
Ethan Small looked the
part of the SEC Pitcher
of the Year. Small tossed
seven innings of three-
hit ball, allowing just one
run on an RBI infield sin-
gle in the bottom of the
second to Julian Infante.
“There’s always pres-
sure in this league and
facing a lineup like that
you know you’re going to
have to make your pitch-
es,” he said. “Just really
working on it and trying
to get better and that’s
kind of what happened.”
After burning sev-
en pitchers out of the
bullpen against LSU
Wednesday, MSU turned
to senior Peyton Plumlee
in relief Thursday. Plum-
lee didn’t allow a hit and
walked one batter in one
inning of work.

ing served as his bull-

semifinals. With their
win, Braun and Oradini
became the second MSU
team to reach the NCAA
Doubles semifinals in
program history, joining
Laurent Miquelard and
Joc Simmons who won the
national title in 1994.
Borges began another
busy day for the Bulldogs
by taking a hard-fought
battle against sixth-
ranked and fifth-seeded
Brandon Holt of USC for
his 30th consecutive sin-
gles victory. The match
was back-and-forth for
much of the first stanza,
until Borges broke Holt
at 30-40 to take a 5-3 lead.
Holt would break back,
cutting the deficit to 5-4.
Both players held serve
on the next two games,
with Borges leading 6-5.
A netted forehand by Holt
decided the set, handing
Borges a 7-5 decision.
In the second, Borges
came out firing, taking
the first three games
and eventually claiming
a commanding 4-1 lead.
The Trojan would break
back to cut the deficit
to 4-3. That would not
faze the now-five-time
All-American Borges,
who would break Holt to
lead 5-3 and serve for the
match.
The three-time SEC
Player of the Year would
finish the job, acing the
USC standout at love to
punch his third straight
ticket to the singles semis,
where he will face a famil-
iar foe in TCU’s fourth-
ranked and third-seeded
Alex Rybakov.
Match time for the
top-5 battle is slated for 4
p.m. ET live on the Tennis
Channel. The two play-
ers have met three times
in 2019, with the Horned
Frog taking the first meet-
ing in Arizona in a January
tournament before their
match went unfinished
at the 2019 ITA National
Team Indoor Champion-
ship in February in Chica-
go. Most recently, Borges
bested Rybakov 6-1, 6-4
in the Bulldogs’ Round
of 16 match vs. TCU in
Starkville on May 11.
Borges is the first
men’s collegiate player
to reach three-straight
NCAA Singles semifinals
since Virginia’s Somdev
Devvarman (2006-08).
“I felt I had momen-
tum at the end of the first
set, so I just trusted that,”
Borges said. “I stayed
tough, I ended up getting
a break in a crucial mo-
ment. I took that into the
second set. I finished on
a good one, so I’m happy
about that. Every match
here is hard, and I have to
learn every single match.
I’m very happy to have
gotten this far again, and
being able to do so three
years in a row is amazing.
It just shows how hard I’ve
worked all year.”
In State’s second sin-
gles match of the day,
61st-ranked Giovanni
Oradini capped off his
remarkable run to the
quarterfinals as an un-
seeded player, dropping a
tough 7-6(4), 6-3 decision
to South Carolina’s fifth-
ranked and fourth-seeded
Paul Jubb.
The tiebreaker was as
back-and-forth as the first
set itself, featuring four
lead changes. After Ora-
dini knotted up the break-
er at 4-all, Jubb took the
final three points to claim
the set.
In the second set, Jubb
took a quick 3-0 lead be-
fore Oradini surged back
to knot things up at 3-all.
Jubb would go on to claim
the last three games, tak-
ing the set and match to
advance to the singles
semifinals.
Arguably the biggest
victory of the day came
in doubles action, with
State’s 32nd-ranked tan-
dem of Niclas Braun and
Giovanni Oradini upend-
ing Baylor’s top-ranked
and top-seeded pair of
Jimmy Bendeck and Sven
Lah 6-4, 6-3.
Braun and Oradini’s
semifinal bout will fea-
ture an All-SEC battle, as
the Bulldog pair will face
Alabama’s 11th-ranked
team of Patrick Kaukoval-
ta and Mazen Osama.
The Crimson Tide duo
reached the semifinals
with a 6-3, 7-6(5) victory
over Wichita State’s 35th-
ranked Murkel Dellien
and Marius Frosa in the
quarters. Match time is
slated for no earlier than 6
p.m. today.
To close out the night,
State’s third-ranked se-
nior pair of Borges and
Strahinja Rakic dropped
a hard-fought, three-set
decision to Tennessee’s
sixth-ranked Timo Stod-
der and Preston Touliatos,
a 5-8 alphabetical seed.
Borges and Rakic end-
ed their doubles career to-
gether as the winningest
doubles pair in program
history, amassing 57 vic-
tories. A staggering 43
of those wins came over
the last two seasons that
included back-to-back
runs to the NCAA Dou-
bles quarterfinals and a
No. 1 national ranking to
end 2018. Rakic’s over-
all career came to end
Thursday night as well.
The two-time All-Amer-
ican and three-time All-
SEC standout amassed
131 total victories for the
Bulldogs in four seasons
while helping MSU to
three NCAA Round of 16
appearances and two SEC
Tournament crowns in
four years.

Riley homers again as Braves beat Giants 5-4 in 13 innings

The Associated Press
SAN FR AN-
CISCO — Austin
Riley has been
at the center of
Atlanta’s recent
power surge
and did it again
with his fifth Riley
home run in nine
games to set a
modern-day franchise record.
Riley’s single five innings
later was equally pivotal and
helped the Braves keep roll-
ing.
Riley hit a game-tying
home run in the eighth inning
then drove in the go-ahead
run in the 13th with a two-out
single off Reyes Moronta, lift-
ing the Braves to a 5-4 victory
over the San Francisco Giants
on Thursday.
“That was a great at-bat,”
Braves manager Brian Snitker
said. “It was a great approach
by him. He’s been very im-
pressive so far.”
Atlanta hit eight home
runs in the four games with
San Francisco, the most the
Braves have hit in one series
at the Giants’ waterfront ball-
park. They hit seven in a four-
game series at Oracle Park in
2012.
Riley had three in this se-
ries. The 22-year-old became
the fastest player in Braves
history during the live-ball era
to hit his first five home runs.
“That’s cool,” Riley said.
“To be able to do that is an
honor. The last hit was even
more special to me because it
put the team ahead and got the
job done.”
Riley already had one hit
before his two-run homer off
Tony Watson with two outs in
the eighth.
The Braves had only one
baserunner over the next four
innings before Dansby Swan-
son singled against Moronta
(1-4) leading off the 13th. Af-
ter Freddie Freeman flew out,
Swanson stole second base.
One out later, Riley lashed a
single to right field and Swan-
son scored easily.
Riley and Ozzie Albies both
had three hits for Atlanta and
Tyler Flowers homered. The
Braves have won 10 of 13.
“Mentally he’s in a good
spot,” Flowers said of Riley.
“He’s into his approach, he
trusts himself. He doesn’t pan-
ic on pitches in, out, up, down.
He doesn’t let that dictate what
he’s trying to do.”
Luke Jackson (3-1), who
blew his fourth save on Tues-
day, retired six batters to win.
The Braves closer called Riley
“a human cheat code” and said
the rookie has made a quick
impression on his teammates.
“You expect it now,” Jack-
son said.
San Francisco got the tying
run on base with one out in the
bottom of the 13th but Jackson
struck out Mac Williamson
before third baseman Josh
Donaldson made a barehand-
ed grab on Donovan Solano’s
short chopper, throwing to
first for the final out.
Tyler Austin hit his first ca-
reer pinch-hit home run, and
Brandon Belt scored on a wild
pitch for San Francisco.
“We let this one get away,”
Giants manager Bruce Bochy
said. “We just couldn’t get the
bats going later on against
their bullpen.”
Atlanta’s win overshadowed
a strong outing by Giants
starter Madison Bumgarner.
The big lefty allowed two runs
on six hits, walked two and left
with a 4-2 lead. Bumgarner
has a 2.12 ER A in nine games
against the Braves since his
last loss to them on Aug. 25,
2012.
Braves starter Kevin Gaus-
man allowed three runs in six
innings. Gausman has one win
in his last nine starts.

DEAR ABBY:
My partner
recently lost one
of his lateral
incisors. He got a
prosthetic tooth
to wear until he
gets an implant,
which looks fine if
he wears it. The problem is, it
isn’t comfortable. He can’t eat
with it, and he often prefers to
leave it out. He also does this
at home.
We live in a major metropol-
itan city. Having missing teeth
is just not acceptable. Aside
from it being bad for his dental
health, he looks like a jack-o’-
lantern when he smiles, which
is extremely unattractive. I feel
it’s socially and profession-
ally detrimental. Every time I
broach the subject of moving
forward with the implant, he
responds with fierce opposi-
tion, which inevitably ends in
an argument. Any advice? —
THAT’S THE “TOOTH” IN SAN
FRANCISCO
DEAR TOOTH: It would be
20). People sometimes have
to lose a thing to understand
and appreciate fully what it
is. So, don’t get too upset by
the minor ups and downs of
people and possessions flowing
through your life. It’s all about
learning.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). If you have to convince
someone of your love, it might
mean you’re not showing them
love in the preferred way they
like to receive it. Once you find
the right way, it takes a lot less
energy to delight a person.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Love’s language is unique to all
who speak it. Every relationship
has its own kind of culture. Your
contribution to the relation-
ship is only a part of this. If
one person is too dominant,
partner fiercely opposes mov-
ing forward with the implant.
Is he afraid it will be painful?
Is the problem that he doesn’t
have the money? If it’s the
former, he should talk to his
dentist so his fears can be al-
layed. If it’s the latter, perhaps
he can talk to the dentist about
payment options, or you can
help him pay for the implant.
DEAR ABBY: What does
it mean when your husband
answers everything with “no”?
For example, if I ask, “Are you
watching ‘This Old House’?”
he says, “No, I’m watching
‘This Old House.”’ If I ask, “Do
you want to eat dinner at 6?”
he replies, “No, how about
we eat around 6?” It’s driving
me nuts, and he doesn’t even
realize he does it. This hap-
pens almost every time I ask
a question. Do you have any
insight into this phenomenon?
— TALKED OUT IN TEXAS
DEAR TALKED OUT: Your
husband may be joking with
you or not paying close
attention when you ask him a
question. I assume that you
have told him how much this
bothers you. (If you haven’t,
you should.) However, if it con-
tinues, stop asking and TELL
him what time dinner will be
ready, and reframe the way you
ask your questions. (Instead of
asking if he’s watching “This
Old House” say, “What are you
watching, Honey?”)
the relationship’s potential is
diminished.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As a
fire sign, you’ve an innate under-
standing of passion’s nature. It
is your nature, too. Like a fire,
passion needs to be oxygenated
and fueled in order to burn. And
you need inspiration in order to
be your best self.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Most of the tasks you execute
today have to do with skills
you’ve picked up through expe-
rience. You learn best by doing.
But there’s something on the
horizon that’s going to happen
more smoothly if you get a little
formal training.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
It’s true that many social con-
tracts are unspoken, but try not
to take inferences too seriously
right now. For instance, one
date doesn’t obligate you to
anyone. Go out and try new
things with new people just to
see what happens.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You want to know if a
person feels as you do, but
questions can’t get to the truth.
Maybe it’s impossible to verify.
Love takes trust, and trust
happens when you can consis-
tently and accurately predict a
person’s behavior.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Just because most people
believe a thing doesn’t make it
true. But when total strangers
who are uninformed and unbi-
ased about the situation weigh
in, that opinion should have
more credence in your poll.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Seeking love is seldom the
way to find it. Creating beautiful
experiences for yourself and
others is a far more predictable
route to your heart’s fulfillment
and one that’s worked for you
time and again.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Now is the day to consider
what present you’ll bring to an
upcoming event. If you wait,
your ideas will be less interest-
ing and more motivated by what
you can get in time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’re probably not even
aware of who’s thinking of you
now and considering you for a
role. You don’t have to prove
you’re right for the position; just
prove you’re awesome at the
one you already have.

Southern Baptists see 12th

year of declining membership
By TRAVIS LOLLER
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
The nation’s largest Prot-
estant denomination re-
ported its twelfth year of
declining membership in
an annual report released
Thursday.
The Southern Baptist
Convention said it had
14.8 million members in
2018, down about 192,000
from the previous year.
Baptisms also declined
by about 7,600 to 246,442.
That’s an important mea-
sure for a denomination
with a strong commit-
ment to evangelism.
Ed Stetzer is a profes-
sor at Wheaton College
who presided over the
SBC’s annual church pro-
file reporting for many
years.
“There are more evan-
gelicals in the U.S. today
than 10 years ago, yet
there are less Southern
Baptists,” Stetzer said.
“Part of that is demo-
graphic ... and part is, at
the end of the day, they
have a real challenge with
their own reputation.”

seven people at a Nashville
church in 2017 laughs about
it with his then-girlfriend.
The October 2017 calls
were replayed in court
Thursday in the Nashville
trial of 27-year-old Emanu-
el Kidega Samson. Jurors
began deliberating in the
afternoon and will resume
Friday.
A transcript of the calls
shows Samson said he
heard the shooting victims
saying “some funny (exple-
tive)” when he was on the
floor of Burnette Chapel
Church of Christ in Sep-
tember 2017 after being
shot during a tussle with a
churchgoer.
Samson says in one of
the calls that he and his
then-girlfriend are able to
“look at the humor in any
situation.”
“When I put the two
bullets in my chest and
laid down and I was on the
floor and I could hear what
everyone was saying and
some people were saying
some funny (expletive)
bruh and, I was like, if Maya
were here listening to y’all’s
whack (expletive), bruh,”
Samson said in one call.
Samson also says in the
calls that he wanted to in-
