Teen killed in shooting at Propst Park

Fight broke out at party; shots fired into crowd
Dispatch Staff Report
A Columbus teen was shot
dead while attending a birth-
day party at Propst Park Sat-
urday night, according to
Lowndes County Coroner Greg
Merchant.
Arykah Patrice White, 16,
was standing outside the activi-
ty center at the park when shots
were fired into the crowd, Mer-
chant said. She was pronounced
dead at the scene. Merchant
added the victim was attending
a birthday party where a fight
started inside the activity cen-
ter.
“There was a fight and I
think the fight had moved out-
side,” Merchant said. “People
just kind of moved with it and
somebody took a shot at the
crowd.”
Columbus Police Depart-
ment confirmed through a state-
ment from Public Information
Officer Joe Dillon that a shoot-
ing happened at the park just
before midnight and police were
called to the scene at 11:35 p.m.
The shooting occurred in the
parking lot outside the activity
center in the northeast corner
of the park. Greg Lewis, parks
director, did not return calls or
messages to The Dispatch be-
fore press time.
CPD Chief Fred Shelton told
The Dispatch Sunday afternoon
it was “too early” in the investi-
gation to release more details of
the incident and officers were
still “chasing down leads.” He
said no suspects are in custody.
Anyone with more infor-
mation about the incident, call
Golden Triangle Crime Stop-
pers at 800-530-7151.

most money in the Mississippi governor’s race
— Republican Tate Reeves and Democrat Jim
Hood — are largely ignoring their party primary
opponents and are concentrating, instead, on the
November general election.
That’s changing soon for Reeves. He’s sched-
uled to take part in a televised debate Tuesday
with the other two Republicans who will be on
the Aug. 6 primary ballot, former Mississippi Su-
preme Court Justice Bill Waller Jr. and state Rep.
Robert Foster.
Hood is one of eight candidates seeking the
Democratic nomination, and he’s not debating the
other seven.
Reeves and Hood are the only gubernatorial
candidates who have previously won statewide
elections, which gave them the advantage of
name recognition as they entered the race.
Hood is completing his fourth term as attor-
ney general, and Reeves is completing his second
term as lieutenant governor after serving two
terms as state treasurer.
Hood went on TV last week with his first cam-
paign ad of the season — a 30-second spot that
shows him driving a tractor, holding ammunition,
chatting with diverse groups of people. He talks
about cracking down on child pornographers
and going to church with his family. The ad also
shows Hood getting out of a pickup truck. With a
dog walking beside him as they pass a shiny gold-
en cross in the yard, Hood says: “Thank God for
family and the chance to help others.”
Reeves has been airing ads for several weeks.
One shows him at campaign events saying Missis-
sippi must continue to cut regulations and taxes,
train workers and “keep reforming our schools.”
That’s followed by clips of Reeves saying: “Jim
Hood won’t. But I will.” In another ad, Reeves
says “out of state liberals” hate Mississippi’s new
license plate because it includes the phrase, “In
God We Trust.”

Union Academy
Continued from Page 1A
said. “And when I looked in it and
saw what people like Walter Mitch-
ell did for the community, I under-
stood that completely, even back
then.”
William Isaac Mitchell, Young’s
paternal great-great-great-uncle,
was considered a pioneer of educa-
tion in Columbus in the late 1880s
and early 1990s. Mitchell, who
was born into slavery in Colum-
bus in 1839, was the first principal
of Union Academy, the first public
school for African Americans in
Columbus. He served as principal
from 1878 until his death in 1916.
“When I think about what it must
have been like for him, and I think
about what it was like for me and
what it’s like for children now, it’s
humbling,” Young said. “To think
about him coming through what
I’m sure was an incredible amount
of resistance and still managing to
lead, it’s very impressive.”
For the first time in more than
10 years, students will once again
walk the halls of the building un-
til the damage to the former Hunt
High School building — which
housed Columbus Success Acad-
emy students and administrative
office — from an EF-3 tornado in
February is repaired. Although the
original Union Academy building
was demolished in the 1960s, the
current building on 10th Avenue
North still bears a plaque recogniz-
ing Mitchell for his historic posi-
tion. It’s something Mitchell family
historian Walter Mitchell doesn’t
expect many students to notice.
“Him being the first principal of
the first African-American school
(in Columbus) was something
that had a profound impact on the
community then,” said Walter
Mitchell, William Mitchell’s great-
great-nephew. “Doing that, it wasn’t
pleasant at all at the time, but he
was able to rise above all that resis-
tance. ... I don’t think there’s a lot of
young people now that would know
or understand the significance.”
Since William Mitchell’s time
as principal, many Mitchell family
members and their descendants —
including Walter’s mother — grad-
uated from Union Academy. Both
Walter and Young grew up hearing
about the school and how it tied in
with their family history.
“We grew up knowing that ed-
ucation was important, that it ran
deep in our family,” Walter said.
“I’m glad (William Mitchell) was
able to accomplish that because
when I researched our family histo-
ry, I saw how it inspired so many in
our family to get to school or finish
college and follow in the footsteps
of valuing education.”
When Young was a child, educa-
tion was something constantly dis-
cussed in her household. This was
partially, she said, because of the
example William Mitchell had set
generations before.
“Not everyone in the fami-
ly could take the steps to get an
education and provide for them-
selves that way, but he could and
he did,” she said. “I love how the
work he began as the first African
American man in his position has
transcended generations. ... As a

Continued questions over candidate’s
military service
On June 9, The Dispatch ran a front-page sto-
ry about WW II paratrooper Bradford Freeman of
Caledonia, who was a guest of honor in France at
the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. The ar-
ticle stated that Mr. Freeman was accompanied by
Steve Wallace of Columbus and went on to say that
Mr. Wallace had been an airborne soldier in Viet-
nam.
On Friday, July 12, The Dispatch ran a correction
on page 3 that stated that “The Dispatch incorrectly
noted Steve Wallace’s military service. He served
in the 541st Parachute Infantry Division as part of a
Reserve Officer Training Corps but did not serve in
combat overseas.”
On July 16, The Dispatch printed a letter from me
on this matter. I noted that it has been well known in
Columbus for years that Mr. Wallace served in the
101st Airborne Division in Vietnam and now The
Dispatch was suggesting that all he ever did was
go to ROTC summer camp. I also pointed out that
the 541st Parachute Infantry Division was phased
out of existence in 1948. I ended my letter by noting
that the correction itself was incorrect and asked,
“What is going on here?”

State of the world

Is a new US Mideast war inevitable?
In October 1950,
as U.S. forces were
reeling from hordes
of Chinese troops
who had intervened
massively in the
Korean War, a 5,000-
man Turkish brigade
arrived to halt an
onslaught by six
Chinese divisions.
Said supreme
commander Gen. Patrick Buchanan
Douglas MacArthur:
“The Turks are the hero of he-
roes. There is no impossibility
for the Turkish Brigade.”
President Harry Truman
awarded the brigade a Presiden-
tial Unit Citation.
In 1951, Turkey ended a
neutrality dating to the end of
World War I and joined NATO.
In the seven decades since,
there has been no graver crisis
in U.S.-Turkish relations than
the one that erupted this week.
Turkey has just received the
first components of a Russian
S-400 air and missile defense
system, despite U.S. warnings
this would require the cancella-
tion of Turkey’s purchase of 100
F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
“The F-35 cannot coexist
with a Russian intelligence
collection platform that will be
used to learn about
its advanced capabil-
ities,” said the White
House.
The sale has
been canceled. The
Turkish pilots and
instructors train-
ing in the U.S. are
being sent home.
Contracts with
Turkish companies
producing parts for
the F-35 are being
terminated. Under U.S. law, the
administration is also required
to impose sanctions on Turkey
for buying Russian weaponry.
Wednesday, the Pentagon
warned Turkey against military
action in an area of Syria where
U.S. troops are deployed. The
Turks appear to be massing
for an incursion against U.S.-
backed Syrian Kurdish forces
Ankara regards as terrorist
allies of the Kurdish PKK inside
Turkey.
How America and Turkey
avoid a collision that could
wreck NATO, where the Turks
field the second-largest army in
the alliance, is not easy to see.
U.S. hawks are already call-
ing for the expulsion of Turkey
from NATO. And expulsion of
U.S. forces and nuclear weapons
from the Incirlik air base in
Turkey in retaliation is not out of
the question.
President Recep Tayyip Erdo-
gan sounds defiant: “We have
begun to receive our S-400s.
... God willing, they will have
been installed in their sites by
April 2020. ... The S-400s are
the strongest defense system
against those who want to at-
tack our country. Now the aim is
joint production with Russia. We
will do that.”
While potentially the most
crucial of recent develop-
ments in the Middle East, the
U.S.-Turkish situation is not the
only one.
The UAE is pulling its forces
out of Yemen as Congress seeks
to restrict U.S. support for Saudi
forces fighting Houthi rebels
there and to sanction Riyadh for
the murder of Washington Post
columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
If the UAE pulls out, and the
U.S. cuts its military aid, the
Saudis cannot prevail in a war
they have been unable to win
with our help after four years
of fighting. And if the Houthis
win, the Saudis and Sunni Arabs
lose, and Iran wins.
This week, to strengthen the
U.S. presence for any confronta-
tion with Iran, President Donald
Trump is sending 500 additional
U.S. troops to Saudi Arabia.
While the U.S. and Iran have
thus far avoided a military or
naval clash that could ignite
a major war, the “maximum
pressure” sanctions Trump has
imposed are choking Iran’s
economy to death. How this
ends in a negotiated resolution
and not a shooting war remains
difficult to see.
In Doha, Qatar, the U.S. is
negotiating with the Taliban
over the conditions for a with-
drawal of the 14,000 U.S. troops
still in Afghanistan. And with
the Taliban controlling more of
the countryside than they have
since being ousted from power
in 2001, and conducting regular
suicide bombings in Afghan
cities and towns, it is hard to see
how this Kabul regime and its
army prevail in a civil war when
we are gone, when they could
not while we were there.
In this new century, leaders
of both parties have plunged our
country into at least five wars in
the Middle and Near East.
In 2001, after ousting the Tal-
iban and driving al-Qaida out,
we decided to use our power
and ideas to build a new demo-
cratic Afghanistan. In 2003, we
invaded and occupied Iraq to
create a pro-Western bastion in
the heart of the Middle East.
In 2011, Barack Obama or-
dered U.S. planes to attack Colo-
nel Gadhafi’s forces in Libya.
We brought him down. Obama
then backed Syrian rebels to
overthrow the dictator Bashar
Assad. In 2015, U.S. forces
supported a Saudi war to roll
back the Houthi rebels’ victory
in Yemen’s civil war.
None of these wars has
produced a victory or success
for us.
But taken together, they did
produce a multitrillion-dollar
strategic and human rights
disaster. Meanwhile, China
gained much from having its
great rival, the world’s last
superpower, thrashing about
ineffectually in the forever wars
of the Middle East.
“Great nations do no fight
endless wars,” said Trump.
Yes, they do. As the British,
French, Germans, Japanese
and Russians showed in the last
century, that is how they cease
to be great nations.

Military studies ‘hyperfit’ women Administration pauses

who pass grueling courses enforcement of
‘The real point of the study is to characterize this
unique cohort of women that has made it through
these traditionally male trainings’
Holly McClung, a nutritional physiologist at the Army Research
Institute of Environmental Medicine
By LOLITA C. BALDOR
The Associated Press
ARMY SOLDIER SYSTEMS
CENTER, Mass. — In the nearly
four years since the Pentagon an-
nounced it was opening all combat
jobs to women, at least 30 have
earned the Army Ranger tab, two
have graduated Marine infantry
school and three have passed the
grueling initial assessment phase
for Green Beret training.
Their numbers are small, but
their completion of some of the
military’s most arduous physical
and mental courses has raised an
intriguing scientific question: Who
are these “hyperfit” women and
what makes them so competitive?
Army medical researchers
hope to uncover answers in a just-
launched voluntary study.
“We’re really interested in those
elite women that are the first to
make it through physically de-
manding training,” said Holly Mc-
Clung, a nutritional physiologist
at the Army Research Institute of
Environmental Medicine in Mas-
sachusetts. “The real point of the
study is to characterize this unique
cohort of women that has made it
through these traditionally male
trainings.”
During early debate on the move
to open all combat jobs to women,
military leaders raised questions
about whether women were up to
the jobs or if putting them on the
front lines would make units less
capable. The Marine Corps sought
an exemption to keep some com-
bat jobs closed for precisely that
reason, but they were overruled by
then-Defense Secretary Ash Car-
ter.
Women, however, have increas-
ingly made it through the nine-week
Ranger course, and the numbers of
those trying out for other special
operations jobs is slowly inching
up. The courses all encompass a
number of phases and run from
about nine weeks to a year or two
for the most elite commando jobs.
They involve a wide array of gru-
eling physical fitness tests, combat
water survival, day and night land
navigation, long road marches car-
rying heavy packs, extended pa-
trols through various climates, and
extensive mental, psychological
and leadership testing.
The goal, said McClung, is to
identify the attributes — whether
mental, physical or psychological
— that help the women succeed.
By unlocking those secrets, maybe
they can help other women com-
pete for the same jobs.
In a small basement office at this
Army base in Natick, Massachu-
setts, McClung and Julie Hughes,
a research physiologist, are set-
ting up a treadmill that’s linked to
a nearby computer. They plan to
have the women use a mask and
breathing apparatus to calculate
each participant’s vo2 Max score,
a key fitness indicator. The score
measures how many millimeters of
oxygen used per kilogram of body
weight per minute; in other words,
how much oxygen is being used at a
person’s peak exercise rate.
An average sedentary person
may have a score of about 30. Top
athletes — runners and cyclists —
can score in the 80s.
The plan, at this point, is to have
the military women come to Natick,
in groups of two or three, and go
through a range of tests over three
days to identify biological and phys-
iological markers that help define
them as hyperfit. Having several
tested at the same time, McClung
said, will make it more interesting
and encourage competition.
abortion restriction
Notice: Government ‘does not
intend to bring enforcement
actions’ against clinics making
‘good-faith efforts to comply’
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration
is giving taxpayer-funded family planning clinics
more time to comply with its new rule that says
they no longer can refer women for abortions.
But the clinics reacted warily to the adminis-
tration’s enforcement pause, and the widening rift
could eventually affect basic health services for
many low-income women.
A notice sent Saturday night to representatives
of the clinics by the Department of Health and Hu-
man Services said the government “does not in-
tend to bring enforcement actions” against clinics
that are making “good-faith efforts to comply.” A
copy of the notice, which includes a new timeta-
ble for the clinics, was provided to The Associated
Press.
The department had said last Monday that it
would require immediate compliance. That caught
clinics off guard and led Planned Parenthood and
other providers to say they would defy the order.
In a statement Sunday, the National Family
Planning & Reproductive Health Association
called the administration’s action “wholly insuf-
ficient.” The umbrella group, which represents
the clinics, is suing in federal court to block the
abortion restrictions.

Spearing, 67, was born

a small township in the

Her parents moved their
family to Brooksville in
1960 and started a cattle
and pig farm.
Before moving to
Starkville and starting
a career as an industrial
electrician, Spearing
worked in road construc-
tion and lived on a mobile
home on the farm. She
had a small flower bed
outside, but that was it —
no garden at all, let alone
a garden with 40 plant
varieties.
Spearing said her
green thumb was an
evolved skill from
growing up on the farm,
however, she also thinks
she just has a natural un-
derstanding of plant life.
“It’s just something
within me I guess,”
Spearing said. “You just
put it in the garden with a
little fertilizer and water
and there you go.”
Spearing said she
sought a charming “old
house with old flowers”
when she moved to Co-
lumbus from Starkville
because that was some-
thing her mother always
wanted, and at her house
on Sixth Avenue South,
that’s exactly what she
got. The house was built
around 1910, and Perilla,
a purple leafy plant, aza-
lea bushes and English
ivy dominated the yard.
“I got my forever home

said. “This is it for me.”

Lowry gazed at the oldest trophy
in golf as he tried to soak up his
storybook finish Sunday at Royal
Portrush, a course wet from rain
and then from tears.
“I can’t believe this is mine,”
Lowry said after his six-shot vic-
tory.
He earned his place with a
63 in the third round that broke
the 54-hole scoring record at the
British Open and staked him to a
four-shot lead. And then he han-
dled the nerves and expectations,
both in abundance, and never let
anyone closer than three shots.
A year ago, Lowry sat in a park-
ing lot at Carnoustie and cried af-
ter missing the cut in the British
Open for the fourth straight year.
“Golf wasn’t my friend at the
time,” he said.
And there he was Sunday, in

Lowry isn’t afraid to be honest,

mess up for a raucous, rollicking
crowd that wanted nothing more
than to celebrate with him.

Adam Peaty, Canadian teen win
breaststroke titles at world swims
Peaty is the first man to
win a third 100-meter title
The Associated Press
GWANGJU, South Korea — Adam
Peaty became the first man to win a
third 100-meter breaststroke title at the
world swimming championships today.
Katinka Hosszu of Hungary also added
more gold to her collection.
Peaty claimed the title in 57.14 sec-
onds, a night after he became the first
man to break 57 seconds in the semifi-
nals. The British swimmer was under
his own world-record pace at the turn
before coming home a full body-length
in front and 1.32 seconds ahead of team-
mate James Wilby.
In the semis, Peaty was timed in
56.88. He’s also the current Olympic
champion.
Wilby touched in 58.46. Yan Zibei of
China was third in 58.63.
Hosszu extended her dominance
in the women’s 200 individual medley,
claiming her record fourth title. That’s
the same number of times she’s won the
400 IM.
Nicknamed “The Iron Lady” for her
relentless workload, Hosszu won in 2
minutes, 7.53 seconds.
Ye Shiwen of China finished 1.07 sec-
onds back in second. Sydney Pickrem of
Canada took bronze.
Canada’s Margaret MacNeil, a
19-year-old competing in her biggest
international meet so far, upset Sarah
Sjostrom in the women’s 100 breast, an
event the Swede had won four times.
Sjostrom took it out strong, dipping
under her world-record pace on the first

But MacNeil roared back with the
fastest closing lap — 29.06 — of the
eight-woman final and touched first in
55.83.
Sjostrom was second in 56.22, de-
nied a record fifth title in the 100 breast.
Emma McKeon of Australia earned
bronze in 56.61.
After receiving their medals, the
three women gathered on the top podi-
um spot and raised their palms to the
crowd, displaying a message to ailing
19-year-old Japanese swimmer Rikako
Ikee.
“Rikako never give up” it read, with
hearts decorating their palms. Sjostrom
came up with the idea.
Ikee announced in February that she
has leukemia. She was the world junior
champion in the 100 fly and had the fast-
est time in the world last year. She is
aiming to return in time to compete in
the Tokyo Olympics.
“We’re hoping this will show that
we’re supporting her and we’re here if
she needs anything,” said MacNeil, who
swims at Michigan.
The United States won its first-ev-
er gold in the men’s 50 butterfly, a
non-Olympic event. Caeleb Dressel’s
time of 22.35 set a championship record
and earned him a ninth career world ti-
tle.
Two years ago, Dressel won seven
golds to equal Michael Phelps’ record at
a single worlds. The 50 fly was the only
event Dressel failed to win in Budapest.
China’s Sun Yang was back in the
pool for the 200 freestyle semifinals a
night after winning the 400 free. He
qualified second-fastest behind Clyde
Lewis of Australia. The final is Tuesday
night.

Cycling
Tantalizingly poised Tour de France
saving its best for last
NIMES, France — A Tour de France jam-packed with
unexpected plot twists is saving its biggest surprise for last.
With six riders within reach of the podium heading into
the toughest final stages in the Alps, the race that resumes
Tuesday after the final off-day is tantalizingly poised. Furious
racing over the first 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) through
Belgium and France and the uncertain outcome ahead of
the grand finale in Paris are conspiring to deliver the most
engrossing Tour in recent memory.
Like a summer rain, the suspense of still not knowing who
will win with just six of the 21 stages remaining is exquisitely
refreshing for cycling’s greatest race after years of implacable
domination by the uber-rich, super-calculating British Ineos
team, formerly Sky.
Either one of Geraint Thomas, Ineos’ struggling
defending champion, or Thibaut Pinot, the French climber who
rebounded in the Pyrenees from what had seemed a decisive
loss of time on the flat before the mountains, could still ride up
the Champs-Elysees in the iconic yellow jersey on Sunday.
A Pinot victory would trigger delirium across France,
which has had no homegrown champion to celebrate since
Bernard Hinault in 1985 and suffered the indignity of many
years when Lance Armstrong and other dopers hijacked the
race that is as much part of the French national identity as
romance and the baguette.
But Thomas’ Colombian teammate Egan Bernal or dark
horses Steven Kruijswijk from the Netherlands and German
rider Emanuel Buchmann could put French champagne back
on ice. Making few waves and avoiding the misfortunes, mis-
takes and big off-color days that sank other riders’ title hopes,
they’re very much in the podium picture. But their stealthy
consistency could hit its limits in the Alps, where conservative
riding might not be enough to win if Pinot and others attack,
as expected.
Just 39 seconds — practically nothing in cycling, where
riders often lose minutes when they wilt on big climbs —
separate Thomas, in second place overall, from Buchmann, in
sixth. Kruijswijk is third, Pinot fourth and Bernal fifth.
The Alpine stages from Thursday to Saturday will see
the Tour ascend six times to above 2,000 meters in the three
days, with two uphill finishes. The trilogy of pain for some, joy
for others, will seal the podium placings before the ceremonial
run-in to Paris, where there’ll be tears of red, white and blue —
either of delight or sorrow.
Either way, the Tour can say something that has not
always been true in recent years: there is still much more to
come.

Fernandez said through an inter-
preter. “It’s part of the game. I don’t
mean to be condescending. I don’t
mean to be arrogant about it. It’s
just one of those beautiful things
about football.”
It was the first league matchup
between the rivals since last year’s
Western Conference semifinals,
when Portland advanced from the
two-leg series after an exhaust-
ing, exhilarating second-leg that
eventually went to penalties before
the Timbers moved on. Portland
reached the MLS Cup final before
losing to Atlanta.
need to remember those moments
when we play them next time.”
Fernandez scored his seventh
and eighth goals of the season in
just his second full month with the
Timbers after being signed as a
designated player form Necaxa in
Mexico.
Fernandez gave Portland the
early lead when he collected the
ricochet from Jorge Moreira’s shot
off the crossbar and scored in the
20th minute, finishing into an
open net. After Seattle’s Raul Ru-
idiaz scored in the 50th minute to
pull the Sounders even, Fernandez
answered seconds later when his
land coach Giovanni Savarese said.
While Ruidiaz did collect Seat-
tle’s only goal and his eighth of the
season, he’ll also lament a pair of
missed chances in the first 45 min-
utes and another opportunity in the
79th minute.
Seattle will have its chance to
get even on Aug. 23 when the teams
meet in Portland.
“Still some fire in this rivalry,
and that got stoked to a higher Sunday’s Cryptoquote:
level tonight,” Seattle coach Brian
Schmetzer said. “We’ll remember
some of the things that happened
tonight, and hopefully we can use
that in the next game.”

ATLANTA 2, DC United 0
ATLANTA — Gonzalo Martínez had a goal and an
assist in the closing minutes to help Atlanta United
beat D.C. United 2-0 on Sunday.
Brad Guzan had three saves for his MLS-leading
10th shutout this season.
Atlanta (11-8-3) controlled the action throughout —
finishing with 71.4% possession and outshooting D.C.
United 18-7 — and finally broke through as time waned.
Darlington Nagbe lofted a cross that Martínez head-
ed home from point-blank range to open the scoring
in the 89th minute. Josef Martínez slipped behind the
defense, ran onto a long ball from Gonzalo Martínez
flipped it over the head of charging goalkeeper Bill Ha-
mid and into the net in the second minute of stoppage
time.
D.C. (9-6-8), which has just one win its last five
games, fell into third in the Eastern Conference stand-
ings, one point behind Atlanta (36) and four back of
Philadelphia.
Josef Martínez chipped a penalty kick over the cross-
bar in the 72nd minute. It was just the second times in
17 tries in MLS that he failed to convert from the spot.
REVOLUTION 2, FC CINCINNATI 0
CINCINNATI — Charles Gil had a goal and an as-
sist, Matt Turner had a career-high seven saves and
New England beat expansion FC Cincinnati to extend
its unbeaten streak to 10 games.
New England (8-8-6) is 6-0-4 since a 5-0 loss at Chi-
cago on May 8.
Defender Kendall Watson poked away the ball from
Gustavo Bou at the top of the 6-yard box, and Gil first-
timed a rising side-footer into the net to give the Revo-
lution the lead in the ninth minute.
Antonio Mlinar Delamea scored in the 55th, head-
ing a cross by Gil just inside the near post. It was the
third career goal for Delamea, a 28-year-old defender
in his third MLS season.
FC Cincinnati (5-14-2) has lost eight of its last 10 and
has been outscored 33-9 during that stretch.

Tears of a father for his champion son at Open

B
rendan Lowry thought
his son might one day
play in front of thou-
sands of screaming fans at
Croke Park in Dublin, where
he and his two brothers helped
lead his team to victory in the
1982 Gaelic football champi-
onships. He had a footballer’s
build, after all, and the game
was the family’s sport.
Shane Lowry liked golf
better. But the father got the
part about playing in front of
thousands of screaming fans
right.
Another big win for the
Irish at the British Open.
Tears for everyone around.
And a day unlike anything
Brendan Lowry ever experi-
enced on the pitch.
“Nothing like that,” he said
as his son was walking down
the final fairway. “This is so
much better.”
Lowry led the cheers from
a portal off the 18th green
Sunday as his son came into
view, emerging from a swarm
both arms up in the air in
celebration, tears welling up in
his eyes.
Around him, other family
members shed some tears of
their own. There was so much
crying going on that former
Open champion Padraig
Harrington — who made sure
he was on hand along with
Graeme McDowell to celebrate
his fellow Irishman — nearly
broke down himself.
“I’m going to start crying,”
Harrington said.
They were tears of joy for
a player everyone seems to
love. And they were tears of
happiness for a country in a
complicated relationship with
its northern neighbor.
Three Northern Irish play-
ers started the first Open here
in 68 years as both sentimen-
tal and betting favorites. When
it finished on a soggy and
windy day, an Irishman from
about four hours away was the
winner — and a wildly popular
one at that.
“I know they treated Shane
in Portrush. “North or south
of the border. There is no
border when it comes to golf in
Ireland, simple as that.”
A day that began for Lowry
with unimaginable pressure
ended in the kind of joy that
made everyone at Royal Por-
trush smile — if they weren’t
crying at the same time. He
took a four-shot lead into the
final round of the British Open
and survived some shaky early
moments to win by six.
Alongside every step of the
way was his father, who was
perplexed when his son took
up golf and finally decided to
take up the game himself be-
cause of all the time he spent
driving Shane to golf courses.
“It’s a dream come true,”
Brendan Lowry said.
Two years ago his son was
playing so poorly he lost his
card on the PGA Tour. The
year before, he lost a lot of his
confidence when he coughed
up a four-stroke lead going
into the final round of a U.S.
Open won by Dustin Johnson.
parts the champion golfer of
the year. The win was both ca-
reer defining and life altering,
for a red-haired, freckle-faced
player who might have the
best touch around the greens
of anyone not named Phil
Mickelson.
It looked like a rout. But it
felt much different inside.
“I didn’t feel great out
there, it was probably the
most uncomfortable I’ve ever
felt on a golf course,” Lowry
said. “You’re out there trying
to win an Open in your home
country and it’s just incredibly
difficult.”
Technically, Northern
Ireland isn’t Lowry’s home
country, though a lot of Irish
consider it so. Northern Ire-
land was in a bloody tug-of-war
between Britain and Ireland
for years before a 1998 treaty
helped restore order.
The Open returned for the
first time since 1951 because
of that, because Royal Por-
trush is a great golf course and
because the Emerald Isle has
flags — bought tickets this
week and were treated to spec-
tacular vistas off the North
Atlantic, and the blustery
weather that goes with the
area.
“I think the players got
sunshine, they got flat calm,
they got a bit of breeze from
different directions,” McDow-
ell said. “And they got a little
Portrush Armageddon.”
The wind blew so hard
Sunday that Lowry’s umbrella
broke on the front nine. Rain
fell heavily at times, and it was
only appropriate that it started
again as the final twosome
came up to the 18th green.
On the ground, the tears
were flowing almost as hard.
About the only one not crying
was the winner himself, who
hugged his wife and young
daughter, then walked off the
green into an embrace with
his father.
“Unreal,” Lowry kept
repeating as he hugged family
members and friends off the
18th green. “Unreal.”

thing else about that Irish Open, the
first time he met Lowry.
“I just shot 61 at Baltray, and he came
in and shot 62,” McDowell said. “And he
didn’t even introduce himself. He said,
‘I can’t believe you beat me by one out
there.’ And I’m like, ‘Who’s this kid?’”
That kid is now “champion golfer of
the year.”
Lowry could barely contain his joy
when he rolled in an 8-foot birdie putt
on the 15th hole for a six-shot lead with
three to play. He knew it was over when
he found the fairway on the 17th be-
cause “I knew that I could really lose a
ball from there.”
The cheers got louder with each
step closer to the finish line, and Lowry
stretched out his arms when his second
shot to the 18th was safely on the fringe.
Waiting to celebrate with him was Mc-
Dowell, a former U.S. Open champion
who grew up at Portrush; Padraig Har-
rington, who preceded Lowry as the
first Irishman to win a major; four-time
major champion Brooks Koepka and his
caddie, Rickie Elliott, also raised at Por-
trush and once a promising amateur in
Irish golf.
Lowry was asked earlier in the week
if he felt like a forgotten Irishman.
The return of the British Open to
Northern Ireland for the first time in 68
years was all about McIlroy, McDowell
and Darren Clarke, a trio of Ulstermen
with major championships. No one in
these parts — the largest Open crowd
outside of St. Andrews — will forget
Lowry and his performance.
“Everyone knows we’re all one coun-
try when it comes to golf,” Lowry said.
The names on the claret jug include
Harry Vardon and Bobby Jones, Jack
Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Lowry would
be equally satisfied to see his name be-
low Clarke and McIlroy, Harrington and
Fred Daly.
He held the jug aloft on the 18th green
and said to crowd, “This one’s for you.”
Lowry was headed home for a cele-
bration — the Irish are known for that,
too.
“It’s not going to sink in for a couple
of days, is it?” he said.
He won for the fifth time in his career,
a short list that includes big wins — the
Irish Open as an amateur, a World Golf
Championship at Firestone, and earlier
this year in the Abu Dhabi Champion-
ship.
“The one thing you want to do is
back up your success,” Lowry said. “In
the short term, I’m going to enjoy this,
there’s no doubt about that. My big goal
still remains the same, and that is to be
on the plane going to Whistling Straits
next year (for the Ryder Cup). Hopefully,
that involves a couple of wins along the
way.”
It will be hard to beat this one — an
Irishman winning the first Open in
Northern Ireland since 1951.
He stood near the tunnel leading to
stairs away from the 18th green with
family, friends, coaches and major cham-
pions. He wasn’t the other Irishman or
even the forgotten Irishman. He was a
major champion.
“He can create his own shadows,”
McDowell said.

Mariano Rivera closes Hall of Fame induction ceremony

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — For Mari-
ano Rivera, it was the culmination of a
storied career, dreams of being the next
Pelé long since forgotten. For Brandy
Halladay, the Baseball Hall of Fame in-
duction ceremony was a tearful moment
to reflect on the accomplishments of her
late husband, and she handled a difficult
task admirably.
Rivera, the career saves leader and
the first player unanimously voted into
the Hall by the Baseball Writers’ Associ-
ation of America, was greeted by chants
of his name from the adoring crowd as
he stepped to the podium in a fitting
close to Sunday’s ceremony. He spoke in
both English and at the end in Spanish,
rarely looking down at the speech he had
prepared.
“I think I choose that because some-
times you write words and it doesn’t
sound right,” Rivera said. “But when you
come from the heart, it comes right. My
intention was always to speak from the
heart.”
Rivera and fellow closer Lee Smith,
starters Mike Mussina and Roy Halla-
day, and designated hitters Edgar Mar-
tinez and Harold Baines were feted on a
sun-splashed afternoon in Cooperstown.
A crowd estimated at 55,000, the sec-
ond-largest for an induction ceremony,
quickly made Rivera feel at peace.
“You’re special for me,” said Rivera,
who left his native Panama in 1990 un-
able to speak English. “Thank you for
your help. Latin American fans, thank
you. Thank you for loving me. I’m so
humbled and blessed to receive this in-
credible honor. God bless you all.”
As a child, Rivera dreamed of being
a soccer player in the mold of the great
Brazilian star, Pelé. Instead, he found his
niche on a baseball mound and finished
his career with 652 saves. He pitched 19
‘I knew I was going to cry at some point. It’s
overwhelming the amount of people here today.’
Brandy Halladay, wife of the late Roy Halladay
seasons in the major leagues, all with the
New York Yankees, and retired with 952
games finished — also a record. A 13-
time All-Star, Rivera helped the Yankees
win five World Series titles and seven
American League pennants.
“To the fans, you guys always pushed
me to be the best,” he said. “When I was
at Yankee Stadium pitching, it felt like I
was pitching with 55,000 people throw-
ing one pitch after another. Without your
support, I cannot do it. You guys came to
see me succeed.”
Brandy Halladay fought back tears as
she spoke for her late husband, who had
two sons.
“I knew I was going to cry at some
point. It’s overwhelming the amount of
people here today,” she said, tears well-
ing in her eyes, her voice quavering with
emotion. “I’m so grateful you’re here. I
can’t tell you how many hugs I’ve gotten.
There are not enough words to thank
you.
“I know how honored Roy would be to
be sitting here with such accomplished
men. Thank you for being such a good
example to him and to supporting him
in his career. This is not my speech to
give.”
The son of a commercial pilot, Roy
Halladay was 40 when he was killed in
a plane crash in November 2017 into
the Gulf of Mexico while piloting his
own plane alone off the Florida coast 20
miles from his home. A toxicology report
showed high levels of amphetamines and
morphine in his system and hints of an
antidepressant.
“I think that Roy would want every-
one to know that people are not perfect,”
Brandy said. “We are all imperfect and
flawed in one way or another. We all
struggle, but with hard work, humility
and dedication, imperfect people can still
have perfect moments. Roy was blessed
in his life and in his career to have some
perfect moments.”
A two-time Cy Young Award winner,
Halladay amassed a 203-105 record in a
16-year career with Toronto and Philadel-
phia. He became just the second pitcher
in major league history to throw a no-hit-
ter in the postseason, opening the 2010
NL Division Series with one against the
Cincinnati Reds in the first playoff start
of his career. He also pitched a perfect
game that season. Halladay was elected
in his first year on the ballot.
“Of course he would be honored and
humbled,” Brandy Halladay said. “He
was a true competitor. He went to the
field every day ready to do whatever it
took to give his team the best possible
chance to win. I think Roy would rather
be remembered by who he was, not what
he did on the ballfield. He so desperately
wanted to be as great and successful at
home as he was in baseball.”
The family decided that there would
be no logo on his plaque because both
organizations meant a lot to Halladay.
Mussina, who pitched for 18 major
league seasons, posted a record of 270-
153 and was a seven-time Gold Glove
winner. He spent his entire career in the
high-scoring AL East with the Orioles
and Yankees.
Smiling from beginning to end, Smith
congratulated his new classmates before
crediting his family and hometown of
Castor, Louisiana, for much of his suc-
cess.
“It’s been my family. They’re the main
reason I’m standing here today,” Smith
said. “To my mom and dad — your sup-
port has meant everything to me.”
Smith pitched 18 seasons for the
Cubs, Red Sox, Cardinals, Yankees, Ori-
oles, Angels, Reds and Expos and retired
as MLB’s career saves leader with 478,
a title he held for 13 seasons. That total
now ranks third all-time, as do his 802
games finished.
Martinez was a seven-time All-Star
and five-time Silver Slugger Award win-
ner for Seattle, where he spent his entire
18-year career. He won two AL batting
titles, led the league in on-base percent-
age three times, and was named the out-
standing designated hitter five times, an
award that now bears his name.
“I am honored and humbled to be
standing here,” said Martinez, who was
born in New York, grew up in Puerto
Rico and also delivered part of his speech
in Spanish. “It is hard to believe that a
dream that started when I was 10 years
old (ended here). The first time I saw Ro-
berto Clemente, all I wanted to do was
play the game. What an honor to have
my plaque in the Hall alongside his.”
The soft-spoken Baines, a Maryland
native who still lives there, never dis-
played much emotion in his 22-year ca-
reer, but his voice cracked throughout
his speech.
“Somehow I acquired a reputation for
not saying much. I’m not sure why,” he
deadpanned at the start. “From teachers
to coaches who showed me kindness and
discipline, I thank you all for what you’ve
done for me. If I can leave you with one
message, it’s to give back to your com-
munity. I stand here very humbled. It has
taken time to sink in.”
The late Frank Robinson and Willie
McCovey were honored with a moment
of silence before Mussina was intro-
duced to start the ceremony. The two
Hall of Famers died since last year’s in-
duction ceremony.

now hitting .371 with 13 hits and seven
RBIs over his past 10 games.
Gavin Collins continued his recent
string of success at the plate, as he
boasts a four-game hit streak for the
Single-A Lynchburg Hillcats — bring-
ing his season average up to .267 with
a .742 OPS.
Also at Single-A, JP France of the
Fayetteville Woodpeckers tossed sev-
en innings of three-run ball against the
Potomac Nationals Saturday. France al-

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Phils win in Pittsburgh on Hoskins’ HR; fan walks to plate

Phils 2, Pirates 1
The Associated Press
PIT TSBURGH — A fan ca-
sually walked to home plate and
approached Philadelphia hitter
Brad Miller for a handshake be-
fore being apprehended, and the
Phillies later beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates 2-1 Sunday on Rhys
Hoskins’ home run in the 11th
inning.
Moments after Bryce Harper
argued a called third strike and
Hoskins spiked his bat after be-
ing hit by a pitch, things turned
bizarre in the sixth inning at PNC
Park.
That’s when a man carrying a
cellphone came out of the crowd
and strolled toward Miller in the
batter’s box. Miller backed away
and the man kept walking, lei-
surely getting near the Phillies’
dugout on the first base side,
where he was handcuffed by se-
curity personnel and led away.
Miller then grounded into an
inning-ending double play.
Hoskins hit his 21st home run,
connecting off Chris Stratton
(1-3). The drive came right after
Harper again seemed displeased
with plate umpire Ben May when
striking out looking to start the
inning.
Phillies reliever Ranger
Suárez (3-0) got Starling Marte
to ground out to end the 10th,
stranding Adam Frazier at third,
and worked around a hit in the
11th.
PADRES 5, CUBS 1
CHICAGO — Francisco Mejía homered,
Fernando Tatis Jr. drove in three runs and
San Diego avoided the sweep in Chicago.
Mejía and Tatis had two hits apiece for
the Padres, who scored three runs in the
ninth and have won just two of their last
nine.
Kyle Hendricks (7-8) allowed two runs
in seven innings and Anthony Rizzo had
two hits for the NL Central-leading Cubs,
who are 7-2 after the All-Star break. Cal
Quantrill (3-2) threw 5 2/3 scoreless
innings of relief, retiring 14 of his final
15 batters. He struck out six and walked
none.
DODGERS 9, MARLINS 0
LOS ANGELES — Walker Buehler
struck out 11 over seven innings and the
Los Angeles hit a trio of home runs to
complete a three-game sweep of Miami.
Max Muncy, Joc Pederson and A.J.
Pollock went deep as the first-place
Dodgers won for the sixth time in nine
games since the All-Star break. Buehler
recorded his third double-digit strikeout
game this season.
Marlins rookie Jordan Yamamoto not
only lost for the first time in seven major
league starts, but the home runs by
Muncy and Pederson were the first ones
he’s allowed in his career. Yamamoto (4-
1) had the third-longest winning streak to
begin a career in Marlins history.
One day after the Dodgers’ bullpen
blew a 6 -0 lead before the offense rallied,
Buehler (9-1) took the heat off the relievers
by giving up just five hits and no walks.

would be better
for both of you to
separate.
DEAR ABBY:
I like to host
parties for my
kids, family
events and
game nights with
friends. I love
when my home
is filled with
loving family and
friends. But when we open our
home, there always seems to
be someone who feels it nec-
essary to point out something
wrong with our home or some-
thing that should be fixed. It
drives me nuts! I find it hard
to respond without sounding
snotty. When I’m invited to
someone’s home, I would
never walk around and nitpick
and point out problem areas.
I would love it if you could give
me examples of what I can
say to deflect those not-so-
helpful comments. -- HOST IN
ILLINOIS
DEAR HOST: Allow me to
offer you a menu. Feel free
to pick and choose as you
please:
1. “Oh, my! I hadn’t
noticed.”
2. “Thank you for point-
fixing, only understanding.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’ve seen it, lived it, paid the
cost and yet you’re still learning
the lesson: Wanting is risk.
The ramp of expectation either
leads to happiness or a fall.
Keep making adjustments.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
This is an excellent time to
remember that people have
different rules. Just because
someone is your friend doesn’t
mean you automatically know
what you should expect from
the relationship.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
New responsibilities will be laid
at your feet. Just remember that
you always have the option to
say no, even when you’re deal-
ing that out. I’ll have it fixed
before you come back over.”
(And don’t invite the person
again.)
3. “The next time you visit,
be sure to bring along your
wrench.”
DEAR ABBY: For our an-
niversary, I bought my wife a
$1,500 necklace and told her
that if she wanted, it could be
exchanged at the store within
a month.
The following week she
went out with some friends
and came back with a differ-
ent piece of jewelry from the
store that cost an additional
$800. Besides the financial
aspect, I’m feeling hurt that
what I gave was not adequate
enough for her. Am I being too
sensitive here? -- HURT FEEL-
INGS IN BOCA RATON
DEAR HURT FEELINGS:
You are a generous and loving
husband. You should not,
however, feel hurt that your
wife exchanged the necklace.
You told her she could, and
she took you up on it. Perhaps
next time you should consider
asking her what she would
like, so you can choose the
gift “together.”
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also known
as Jeanne Phillips, and was
founded by her mother,
Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear
Abby at www.DearAbby.com or

CA 90069.
ing with friends and family.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
same symbols that mean so
much to one person may be
completely devoid of signifi-
cance to another, to the point
that the object isn’t even
recognized as a symbol at all.
Go forward with respect and you
should be fine.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Happiness is when you can’t
tell the difference between work
and play. Those certain people
who consistently bring buoyancy
to your mood and point of view
will help in this regard.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Whether you, ignore, deny,
numb, express or embrace it,
you have your relentless yearn-
ing for love to thank for some of
your greatest accomplishments.
The constant craving has you
moving ever forward.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). As a member of the natural
world, one of the instincts
that comes with the package
is an instinct for recognizing
when things are ripe. So don’t
overthink it. If the opportunity
seems sweet and ready, pluck
it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Your mood impacts
the moods of others. Making
yourself happy helps all. And
because making other people
smile is part of your happiness
equation, everyone wins several
times over today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Honesty gives relation-
ships the best chance at
success. It is much easier to be
honest early on than it is to sort
through the expectations that
build up the longer people know
one another.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). There are experts all
around ready to give advice at
the slightest provocation. It’s
still more fun to figure it out on
your own though. Try that way
first, and you’ll delight yourself
with creativity you weren’t
expecting.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Things improve up to
a point, and after that they
degenerate. This is the natural
order. You’ll enjoy working on
a project, bringing it as far as
it can go, and then gracefully
moving on.

That’s beside the point
