Columbus-Lowndes Public Library
receives NEH grant to restore photos
Mona Vance-Ali, the archivist at Columbus-Lowndes Public Library, received a $10,000 preservation assistance grant for
the library’s photo collections. When photo collections are donated to the library, they often come in varying conditions. This
grant will allow the library to hire a photograph conservator who will spend about a week assessing photographs and will
make a plan for preservation.
The $10,000 grant will be used to hire
a photograph conservator and cover
storage supplies and preservation training

The photographic nega-
tive Mona Vance-Ali held in
her hand was stiff and crin-
kled, tinted bright blue from
chemical off-gassing.
She said it was from
around the 1940s or ‘50s.
Nearly 70 years after it was
made, on Wednesday at the
Columbus-Lowndes Public
Library, the image wasn’t
even visible.

school and middle school levels.
The test scores are sepa-
rated into five levels. Students
that fall into levels 1 and 2 did
not pass the state assessments,
whereas levels 3, 4 and 5 show
students who passed.
At CMSD, 64.4 percent of
third graders passed ELA test,
up from 50.9 percent in 2017-18.

After the library was
awarded a $10,000 grant
from the National Endow-

Wednesday, historical pho-

Carl Brown collection can
hopefully be restored and
preserved.
“We’re very excited,”
Vance-Ali said. “This just

Immigration and Customs Enforcement: Anyone
found to have broken the law in the Mississippi
case would be held accountable, including ‘the
employers who profit off their crimes’
By NOMAAN MERCHANT
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — The images of
children crying after their parents
were arrested in a massive immi-
gration raid in Mississippi revived
a longstanding complaint: Unautho-
rized workers are jailed or deport-
ed, while the managers and busi-
ness owners who profit from their
labor often go unprosecuted.
Under President Donald Trump,
the number of business owners
and managers who face criminal
charges for employing unautho-
rized workers has stayed almost
the same, even as almost every
other enforcement measure has
surged.
Last week’s raids at seven chick-
en-processing plants were the larg-
est worksite operation conducted
under the Trump administration.
The operation led to 680 arrests
of people in the U.S. illegally, with
expected criminal charges to fol-
low for some. But no plant owners
or top managers were immediately
charged, following the pattern of
other recent sweeps.
Lawyers and experts agree that
investigating managers takes lon-
ger and is far more difficult than ar-
resting workers. A key hurdle that
predates the Trump administration
is that federal law makes it a crime
to “knowingly” hire workers who
are in the U.S. illegally.
“The ‘knowingly’ term has
proved to be a huge defense for
employers,” said Muzaffar Chishti,
a senior fellow at the Migration Pol-
icy Institute. “The employer says,
‘I’m sorry, I didn’t know they were
unauthorized.’”
In a statement Tuesday, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforce-
ment Acting Director Matthew
Albence said that anyone found to
have broken the law in the Missis-
sippi case would be held account-
able, including “the employers who
profit off their crimes.” Warrants
unsealed after the Mississippi ar-
rests allege that managers at two
processing plants participated in
fraud.
After Trump took office,
then-Acting Director Thomas Ho-
man declared that ICE would try to
increase all worksite enforcement
actions by 400 percent.
ICE succeeded almost across
the board in just one government
fiscal year. According to statistics
the agency released in December,
it quadrupled the number of inves-
tigations it opened and audits of pa-
perwork submitted by employees
to get hired. And it made 2,304 ar-
rests in worksite cases, seven times
as many as the previous year.
The major exception was for
managers. ICE arrested just 72
managers in the 2018 fiscal year,
compared with 71 the year before.
And 49 managers were convicted of
crimes, down from 55 the previous
year.
Congress first created criminal
penalties for employers in 1986. Ac-
cording to researchers at Syracuse
University, prosecutions under
the law banning employers from
knowingly employing unauthorized
workers have rarely exceeded 15 a
year since then. Between April 2018
and this March, just 11 people were
prosecuted in seven cases.
Employers can also be charged
with other crimes. The former
owner of a meat-processing plant
raided in Tennessee last year was
sentenced in July to 18 months in
prison after pleading guilty to tax
evasion, wire fraud and employing
unauthorized workers. Investiga-
tions are still ongoing following
several major Trump administra-
tion raids.

as others housed in the
library. The three collec-
tions total thousands of
negatives and prints and
document life in Lowndes
County, through portraits
and images of weddings,
gatherings and public
events, from around the
1940s to the 1990s, col-
lectively.
Vance-Ali said the Joe
Sarcone collection will
probably need the most
work after being stored in
a house without air condi-

Vance-Ali said photo-
graphic negatives should
be stored at 45 degrees
Fahrenheit and docu-
ments and photographs
should be stored at 65 de-
grees Fahrenheit, ideally.
Storage at an improper
temperature, and in a hu-
mid climate, can allow for
melting and “bug issues.”
“She’s going to have to
get deep into that collec-

are no hidden issues,”
Vance-Ali said.

“Dealing with photo-

are touching. Then you
have transference.”
The grant will also

Our View
Wright’s actions
a disservice to
taxpayers and
students
In 2015, Lowndes County voters approved a
$44 million bond issue to build/upgrade facili-
ties across the county school district.
More than $11 million of that built the
Career Tech Center on Lehmberg Road, a
campus meant to provide technical training
for students in fields that would bolster their
future employability and job security.
Unfortunately, LCSD Superintendent Lynn
Wright seems to think the Career Tech Center
should also provide job security for him.
Wright, who has been twice elected to four-
year terms as superintendent, will see his final
term end Dec. 31, when the post transitions
to a board-appointed job. A nation-wide job
search for a new superintendent began earlier
this year, and Wright has applied. Like we do
with every appointed position, we expect the
board to select a candidate based on ability,
not familiarity.
We have reason to be concerned that won’t
happen though. “(Board members) told me
once that as long as test scores are good, I
don’t have anything to worry about (in being
rehired as superintendent). I hope they re-
member that,” Wright told The Dispatch this
week.
Good ole boy politics apparently aren’t
enough to make Wright comfortable though.
Wright has a Plan B: vocational technical di-
rector. He’s more than happy to tell you about
it, too. Not only did he tell The Dispatch on
the record that he’s essentially holding the po-
sition open for himself, there’s no shortage of
folks he’s apparently told all over the county.
Here’s how it works. Instead of interview-
ing any of the 34 candidates who applied for
the job after former director Percy Lee left
in the spring, Wright instead recommended
appointing an interim director through De-
cember. (How convenient that the end of the
interim position aligns perfectly with the end
of Wright’s time as elected superintendent.)
Then, if Wright is replaced as superintendent,
he’ll apply for the vo-tech job and, in his mind,
get it.
Not to be outdone, the school board has
so far gone along with this plan, aside from
vice president Brian Clark calling Wright out
publicly during a special-call meeting Tuesday
night.
All of this suggests a will from the coun-
ty school district’s leader to use tax-funded
operations as a personal fiefdom, abusing his
current authority to arrange a prime job for
himself in the future. At best, this is ethically
questionable. The Dispatch is today request-
ing an investigation into the matter by the
Mississippi Department of Education.
A brand new $11 million operation being
left to an interim while you ignore 34 appli-
cations is a disturbing violation of the public
trust and a disservice to students. When
the people voted to let the district borrow
that money, they expected stable leadership
that would enhance vocational training for
students, not political maneuvering to help
Wright ensure job security for himself.
The Career Tech Center, just like all school
property and operations, is not private proper-
ty these school leaders own. They are the cit-
izens’ facilities for which board members and
the superintendent are appointed stewards.
This superintendent, and quite possibly
most of the board, seem to have forgotten that.

Calls for qualified and ethical
candidates
BINGO! We have a winner.
Mary Pollitz’s article in the July
21, 2019 issue of The Commercial
Dispatch entitled “The one-term,
‘busy’ council” tells us just about
everything we need to know about
seeking “The Good Society,” as
Walter Lippman called it.
Our City Council in Columbus
from 1969-73 was composed of
six local businessmen, none of
whom sought a second term on
the council. But during those
four years, the council accom-
plished a very great deal for the
city and its residents. Why, you
might ask. Because the council
members were highly qualified
and dedicated, and had only one
goal – to improve and govern in a
financially sound and constructive
way. The council members made
$131 a month “regardless of how
many meetings we had.” Now-
adays, most candidates run for
the money, for a job, and as a step
to the next government office,
and perform no constructive and
financially sound services for the
citizens.
Candidates are not selected
and elected based upon necessary
qualifications – integrity and com-
petence. Some officeholders are
just looking for a paying job. As a
result, they do the things ordered
by their benefactors. The political
bosses are very active, make no
mistake, they choose their own
people, their Charlie McCarthys,
and thereby pull the strings. An
officeholder is not required to
read or write, he is required to
listen and do what he is told.
Unless we elect qualified
and ethical candidates, we are
doomed. I don’t care whether an
office seeker is black or white,
female or male, homosexual or
heterosexual, as long as he or she
is honest, courageous and capa-
ble. If we continue to throw up our
hands and say there is nothing we
can do, our system of government
cannot continue as originally
conceived. “Moving further out”
won’t solve any important prob-
lems, it will only delay the inevita-
bility of defeat, unless you have no
children, grandchildren or family
to care about.

Concerned for students on
county buses
I have major concerns about the
Lowndes County school bus situa-
tion, which I voiced to the superin-
tendent two years ago. Seeing my
daughter come home drenched in
sweat from the school bus recent-
ly reminded me of the issues Mr.
Wright and I discussed. The first
agenda I brought up is the over-
crowding. The rule is three chil-
dren per seat — three HUGE back
packs and three children to a seat.
My child has been that third child
only to fit halfway on the seat, and
they are pushed in aisle as the
drivers make a turn at times. Get-
ting up to adjust herself properly,
she is hollered at “No standing in
the aisle!” There has been a time
or two she just sat on the floor in
between both aisles of seats until
some children got off and left spac-
es. Now that is safety for you! Ris-
ing student population is also caus-
ing the routes to get longer. My
daughter rides anywhere from one
hour to an hour and fifteen minutes
for her transit. What makes this
so horrible and brings me to my
next complaint is the fact her bus
provides no air conditioning. Heat
indexes up to 105-110 (or more)
with no air conditioner makes this
ridiculous and a health hazard.
I’m happy she is not in elementary
school, as that group is put on the
buses first and made to wait for the
middle and high school students
to board. That wait may be 10-15
minutes, but on a non-moving bus
with no AC, it is hard to tolerate.
There should be no reason for all
this. They are constructing new

buildings constantly but they have
no money for proper busing.
As I stated earlier, I called our
superintendent of Lowndes Coun-
ty (two years ago) and, of course,
any complaints were dismissed
as they were not something of
importance. I was told by him, he
rode the bus as a kid and he did
not have any problems, so what is
the problem now? I told him I rode
the bus as well with no issues. He
states he did not have an air con-
ditioner. I did not as well. I am in
my 50’s, and I am not stating this
man’s age, but we did not have the
heat we experience now. I never
remember riding a bus with heat
indexes we have now. To add to
the difference, our routes were
not long-30 minutes was consid-
ered a longer route. We were two-
to-a-seat too. We did not have all
the paraphernalia to carry like our
children do now either. I asked
him why do some buses have air
and others do not. I was told the
athletes had to have air condition-
ing so they would not get over-
heated traveling to away games.
Imagine that. At least some of the
children have air conditioning if
they ride a bus athletes use.
What our conversation boiled
down to was the fact that we adults
rode the buses back then and we
were fine. The differences be-
tween then and now didn’t matter
to him. And to top it all off he said
riding the bus is a “privilege” and
there are no laws stating we have
to use money for the list of things
I am complaining about. Be lucky.
She has a ride to school and back
is what I am told. Needless to say I
was a bit huffy and told him “Hell,
you try riding the bus for a day in
August.” Shouldn’t have done that.
I was told the conversation had to
end because he could not accept
that type of foul language from
me. How lucky this man is that I
used the word “hell” only, for I am
known for my Italian temper.

Mississippi could drop high school history exam

The history test is the only one not required by the federal government
or state law, meaning only a vote by the board is required to scrap it
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
One of the four tests that Mis-
sissippi public school students
take in high school may be go-
ing away.
A testing task force voted by
email last week to recommend
that the state Board of Educa-
tion scrap a now-required U.S.
history test.
Students formerly had to pass
that test, plus exams in English,
algebra and biology to graduate.
Now, there are alternate routes
to graduate, but some Mississip-
pi students still don’t earn a di-
ploma because they don’t quali-
fy for any of the routes.
Teacher groups and others
who say Mississippi students
take too many tests are push-
ing for change. The history test
is the only one not required by
the federal government or state
law, meaning only a vote by the
board is required to scrap it.
“Teachers have said repeat-
edly we have too much testing,”
said Kelly Riley, executive direc-
tor of Mississippi Professional
Educators and a member of the
task force who voted to abolish
the test.
Mississippi Department
of Education spokeswom-
an Patrice Guilfoyle said any
change wouldn’t take place until
after this year, meaning the test
would be given at least one more
time.
The history test also counts
in the grading system under
which high schools and districts
are assigned A-to-F grades.
Frequent changes to that sys-
tem have been unpopular, but
Riley said that’s a trade teach-
ers are willing to make.
“I think teachers are willing
to undergo a change to the ru-
bric in exchange for less test-
ing,” she said.
The recommendation will
be considered next week by
the state’s accreditation com-
mission. If that group agrees,
Guilfoyle said there were be “an
extended period of public com-
ment” before the state Board of
Education voted. A minimum of
nearly a month of comment is
required under state law.
Guilfoyle said state Super-
intendent Carey Wright hasn’t
taken a position on the pro-
posed change.
“She has allowed the task
force to do its work,” Guilfoyle
said.
State Board of Education
Chair Jason Dean of Madison
said removing the test pres-
ents “serious policy questions,”
including the requirement to
change the grading model.
“I’ve got to do some thinking
on this,” Dean said.
The test has also been un-
popular because it’s typically
taken at the end of junior year.
That means a student who
doesn’t pass has fewer opportu-
nities to retake it, unlike cours-
es that are typically offered in
the freshman or sophomore
year.

Lowndes County School District
Lowndes County students con-
tinue to maintain high 2018-19
MAAP pass rates district-wide.
More than 83 percent of the
district’s third graders passed the
third grade ELA test, and the dis-
trict maintained passing scores
hovering in the mid-80s through
English II, where 84 percent of stu-
dents passed. The exception was in
sixth grade, where 78.4 percent of
students passed.
Highs in math included 86 per-
cent of third graders passing — up
from 79.1 percent last year — and
90.9 percent passing the Algebra I
exam. Three grade levels — fifth
through seventh — had more than
a 90 percent pass rate on the math
test, and every other grade was
above 80 percent.
Deputy Superintendent Robin
Ballard said the district does not
focus on any one specific grade
or subject area, and instead tries
across the board to prepare stu-
dents for testing. She attributes the
district’s continued high test scores
to teachers that consistently mon-
itor students’ progress and try to
correct problem areas early by re-
ferring students to interventionists
to connect them with resources.
“We constantly work on our in-
structional practices
by analyzing data and
implementing best
practices through-
out our schools,” she
said. “... We’re track-
ing students and our
teachers teach like
their hair is on fire. Ballard
... Excellent teaching
happens here.”
Ballard added that the district,
which was less than 10 accountabil-
ity points away from an A rating last
year, is hopeful to achieve A rating
accountability score this year.
Starkville-Oktibbeha
Consolidated School District
Third grade ELA test scores
increased in Starkville-Oktibbeha
Consolidated School District, jump-
ing from a 67.9 percent pass rate in
2017-18 to 71.6 percent in 2018-19, a
rise Superintendent Eddie Peasant
attributes to teacher preparedness
and support.
On the rest of the ELA tests, be-
tween 60 and 70 percent of students
passed, with the highest percentage
— 70.2 percent — in seventh grade
and the lowest — 60.4 percent — in
English II.
“A lot of our teachers are more
prepared this year to teach students
at that grade level what they to know
for the test,” he said. “The leader-
ship at our elementary schools have
also worked with teachers to make
sure they were prepared, and all of

that shows.”
Additionally, Peasant said, there
has been an increased focus on
ELA teaching in pre-kindergarten
through second grades, which he
believes also contributed to student
readiness.
In math, most scores remained
the same as last year — hovering
between 61 and 66 percent — with
the exception of seventh grade
math and Algebra I, where more
than 70 percent of students passed.
Peasant says addressing eighth
grade math scores — where only
53.4 percent of students passed —
“gets a little tricky.” SOCSD eighth
graders have the option to take ei-
ther eighth grade math or Algebra
I. If a student elects to take Algebra
I, they must take both the eighth
grade and Algebra I MAAP tests.
Peasant said SOCSD administra-
tors see a consistent trend of eighth
graders in Algebra I performing
better on that MAAP test than on
the eighth grade test, which con-
tributes to a fall in overall eighth
grade math test scores.
“We’re trying to work out how
to teach those eighth
grade math skills
while also prepar-
ing students for Al-
gebra I,” Peasant
said. “There is some
overlap there, but
the skills and tools
they’re taught are dif- Peasant
ferent between eighth
grade math and Algebra I. Algebra I
takes different skills. ... And it’s like
with anything else, if you don’t use
it, you won’t be as proficient. ... We
had more students in Algebra I this
year than we have in the past, and
the scores probably reflect that.”
Although seeing a district rat-
ing increase would be ideal, Peas-
ant said SOCSD administrators
are more focused on the students’
grades than the district’s.
“Since scores are what the state

said. “But as far as letter grades
go, our focus is on making sure stu-
dents show at least a year of growth,
if not more. However that comes out
in the ratings is how it comes out.”
SOCSD is currently rated a C
overall. Its only A-rated school is
West Elementary School, which
hosts grades kindergarten to 5.
West Point Consolidated and
Noxubee County school districts
Overall MAAP scores trended
generally upward from last year
in West Point Consolidated School
District. Passing ELA scores in ev-
ery grade but fourth and seventh
rose, with the most notable being
an increase in eighth grade scores
from 73.5 percent in 2017-18 to 80.7
percent in 2018-19. Math scores
followed the same trend — every
grade’s passing score percentage
rose, with the exception of fourth
grade.
Noxubee County School Dis-
trict’s MAAP scores ranked among
of the lowest 10 in the state this year
in both ELA and math, and they fell
almost across the board from last
year’s scores. The only grade with
more students that passed the ELA
test in 2018-19 than in 2017-18 was
eighth grade. Only 48.3 percent of
third grade students passed the
ELA test, down from 67.9 percent
in 2017-18. Passing math scores
were evenly split — four grades had
more students pass than last year,
while three did not. The highest
percentage of passing students,
which is also the largest improve-
ment, was in Algebra I, where 76.2
percent of students passed, up from
54.2 percent last year.

MSU secondary harping on takeaways,

Mississippi State defensive coordinator Bob Shoop is focused on his unit creating takeaways this season.

By AMBER D. DODD
Special to The Dispatch
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Teaira Mc-
Cowan made a name for herself in the
Humphrey Coliseum where she blos-
somed into a star-studded center behind
her 6-foot-7 frame and skillset.
Now, her dominance is only growing at
the next level.
On April 10, the
WNBA’s Indiana Fe-
ver selected the Mis-
sissippi State center
as the third overall
pick in the 2019 draft.
Indiana coach Pokey
Chatman observed
McCowan’s performance around the rim
and felt she’d add to the front court depth
of a team coming off a league-worst 6-28
record in 2018.
“She could impact our team by being
a presence in the paint with her ability to
alter shots, block shots, rebound and get
us extra possessions because she’s a good
rebounder,” Chatman said. “I thought the
offense would come because it’s a different
league.”
Upon leaving Starkville, McCowan
didn’t have much time to get adjusted to
her new surroundings. Just 34 days sepa-
rate the WNBA Draft from the start of the
preseason and McCowan only had nine
practices before the season began.
“It was kind of a whirlwind,” McCowan
said. “Got right into training camp and it
was hard. Transitioning from college, the
pace is just so different.”
Familiar hands eased her transition.

Braves jump on
Seth Lugo for
5 runs in 7th,
beat Mets
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Atlan-
ta Braves survived another
near-meltdown by the back
end of their bullpen in the
ninth after the New York
Mets’ best reliever gave up
five runs in the seventh.
Tyler Flowers drove in a Flowers
tiebreaking run with an in-
field hit, and Atlanta scored
five runs off Seth Lugo in
the seventh and survived
a ninth-inning scare in a
6-4 win over New York on
Wednesday night.
The first-place Braves
(72-50) are 22 games over
Lugo
.500 for the first time since
2013. That made manager
Brian Snitker happy with the win “no mat-
ter how you get it.”
Snitker could overlook the ninth-inning
struggles by Mark Melancon, the team’s
latest closer.
The Mets have lost three straight, in-
cluding the first two of the three-game
series with Atlanta, after winning 15 of 16
to move up in the NL wild-card chase. The
loss left the Mets three games behind Chi-
cago in the race for the second wild card.
“We’re still in a good spot,” Mets manag-
er Mickey Callaway said. “It’s not the end
of the world.”
New York scored two runs in the ninth
off Melancon. Amed Rosario had four hits,
including a run-scoring single off Melan-
con. Pinch-hitter Luis Guillorme added
another run-scoring single before loading
the bases.

players is H.T.B. — ‘hunt the ball,’”
Shoop said. “We studied tech-
niques this offseason to do a better
job stripping the football. We’ve
done a good job trying to work on
ball skills and things along those
lines.”
Where MSU does stand to im-
prove in the turnover department
is the secondary. Despite the loss
of Abram, the Bulldogs return the
bulk of last season’s pieces in the
defensive backfield.
“The secondary has gained so
much potential and confidence
from last year,” senior safety
Jaquarius Landrews told The Dis-
patch. “We have a whole bunch of
people stepping up behind us and
we’re all sticking together, making
plays and we’re all over the field.”
Senior Brian Cole has carved a
niche as a nickel corner after tran-
sitioning from receiver to defen-
sive back over the past few years.
Finally healthy from an upper body
injury that deprived him of all but
four games in 2018, he’s primed for
a breakout season.
“If anything, I’m slowing things
down,” Cole said of this offseason
versus last. “I’m more locked in
and I’m working more on my tech-
niques on how to guard certain
players or getting better in my curl
flat coverage drops. Everything is
just at a technical standpoint now.”
MSU also brings back
ball-hawking cornerback Cam
Dantzler. A recent father, Dantzler
has seen his maturity increase
over the offseason as he prepares
for what will likely be his final
season in Starkville assuming the
stats reflect his talent.
“He changed my whole demean-
or,” Dantzler said of his son. “He’s
my everything. From now I can’t
just (play) for myself, I have to do
it for him.”
Then there’s Landrews and se-
nior cornerback Maurice Smith-
erman. The duo has combined for
46 games played in four years of
action between the two entering
2019.
Landrews, who played second
fiddle to Abram a year ago, should
anchor the safeties after totaling
21 tackles, three sacks and five
passes defended last season.
Smitherman figures to be the
No. 2 corner alongside Dantzler.
He notched 23 tackles, one inter-
ception, one forced fumble and
three pass breakups in 2018.
“I feel like this year it’s really go-
ing to be ‘DB-U,’” Landrews said.
Despite boasting the No. 1 total
defense in the country last season,
Shoop’s feelings toward turnovers
are valid.
In 2018 the Bulldogs ranked
No. 26 nationally in turnover mar-
gin and No. 33 in interceptions.
And while those numbers look sol-
id on paper, MSU ranked fifth in
both categories in the SEC. It also
sat tied for 12th in the conference
with seven forced fumbles.
“The reason I say (turnovers
are) a great equalizer is the take-
away game can turn a bad defense
to good and a good one to great
and a great one to become a cham-
pionship one,” Shoop said. “I think
that’s an area for growth with our
guys, we acknowledge that.”
So while the Bulldogs defense
was dominant last year, take-
aways may take this year’s from,
in Shoop’s words, a great one to a
championship one.
“There’s a standard of play
when you’re at Mississippi State
with regards to defense,” Shoop
said. “It was here long before I
was here. We hope to continue
that standard of play. The names
and the faces may get a little dif-
ferent, but the standard remains
the same.”

McCowan
Continued from Page 1B
Victoria Vivians as the
eighth overall pick in the
2018 WNBA Draft, re-
uniting the former Bull-
dogs in Indiana.
Though she won’t be
seeing the floor after
tearing her right ante-
rior cruciate ligament
overseas on Israel’s team,
Maccabi Bnot Ashdod,
Vivians still gave McCow-
an words of wisdom about
being a rookie and its tu-
multuous transitions.
“She said this year was
going to be a lot,” Mc-
Cowan said of Vivians’ ad-
vice. “You’re not going to
be perfect this year, even
as much as I want to be
perfect. She’s been there,
telling me it’s okay when
I’m too hard on myself.”
McCowan averaged
18 points and 13 re-
bounds in both her junior
and senior years at MSU
and now she’s helping
answer questions regard-
ing Indiana’s struggles
in the paint. Aside from
rebounding, McCowan
assists Indiana forward
Candice Dupree in scor-
ing on diverse parts of
the floor and activates
double-team defense with
her. Considering her
height, passing out of the
post is one of McCowan’s
key attributes. She’s able
to kick it out to Fever
guards Tiffany Mitch-
ell, Erica Wheeler and
Kelsey Mitchell, but Mc-
Cowan wants to add more
things to her arsenal than
under the rim talent.
“I want to finish like I
did at Mississippi State,”
the 2019 SEC Player of
the Year said. “I want to
pursue every rebound. I
would say on defense, just
keep track of the ball and
keep up with my team-
mates on both ends of the
floor.”
After starting 75
games straight, she was
listed as a reserve behind
teammate Natalie Achon-
wa. When her name was
called to make her way
to the scorer’s table,
McCowan remained the
impactful player she’s
always been during her
first professional game.
Indiana visited the New

Braves
Continued from Page 1B
A lengthy review overturned the
on-field call that Guillorme was out at
second on Pete Alonso’s grounder to
Ozzie Albies. Shortstop Johan Camargo
dropped the throw from Albies for an
error, leaving the bases loaded with one
out.
Melancon struck out Wilson Ramos
before left-hander Jerry Blevins struck
out Michael Conforto for his first save.
J.D. Davis gave New York a 2-1 lead
with a two-run single in the seventh,
when Steven Matz had his second bloop
single to right field.
Matz was removed by Callaway after
throwing only 79 pitches and allowing
only two hits in six innings. Matz retired
14 consecutive batters before being lift-
ed.
The move backfired when the Braves
scored five runs on six singles off Lugo
and Luis Avilán in the seventh. All five
runs were charged to Lugo (5-3), who re-
corded only one out.
Callaway defended the decision to take
Matz out of the game with right-handed
hitters Josh Donaldson and Adam Duvall
set to open the seventh.
“We have the best reliever in baseball
sitting down there in Seth Lugo,” Cal-
laway said. “... I’ll make that move 100
times out of 100. That’s the right move
in my mind.”
Asked if he was tired after running
the bases, Matz said “I felt pretty good.
... It’s definitely a humid day, but I have
enough time to catch my breath and cool
off and stuff.”
After Lugo walked Donaldson to open
the inning, the Braves had four straight
singles. Ender Inciarte’s bases-loaded
hit to left field tied the game. Flowers
then hit a grounder which first baseman
Alonso couldn’t snag while running to-
ward second. Lugo was late to cover first.
Pinch-hitter Matt Joyce, Ronald
Acuña Jr. and Albies also drove in runs in
the big inning.
Lugo said he was “just a little unlucky
tonight” though he said “walking the
leadoff hitter, that hurts.”
Inciarte drove in two runs with two
hits.
Dallas Keuchel threw six scoreless in-
nings before the Mets’ two-run seventh
against Sean Newcomb and Chris Mar-
tin (1-1).
The loss came after the Mets placed
All-Star Jeff McNeil on the 10-day injured
list with a mild left hamstring strain.
The start of the game was delayed 1
hour, 12 minutes by rain.
TRAINER’S ROOM
n Mets: This is McNeil’s second IL
stint with a left hamstring injury this sea-
son. He also was on the IL from May 23
to June 4. ... OF Brandon Nimmo (neck),
who has been out since May 21, could be-
gin a rehab assignment in about a week.
Braves: Flowers needed attention
from a trainer for a cut on his head after
he was hit by Pete Alonso’s bat on Alon-
so’s swing and miss in the seventh. Flow-
ers remained in the game.
TEJADA STARTS
n Rubén Tejada, recalled from Tri-
ple-A Syracuse, was held without a hit as
he started at second base. Callaway said
he plans to have Tejada start against left-
handers in a platoon with Joe Panik. Te-
jada, 29, played with the Mets from 2010
through 2015.
FREEMAN’S CATCH
With runners on first and third in the
sixth, the Mets couldn’t score. Todd Fra-
zier’s pop fly into shallow right field was
caught by first baseman Freddie Free-
man, who was running down the line
with his back to the infield.

US Soccer, team talks break down; likely head to jury trial

The Associated Press
Players for the World Cup
champion women’s national
team say mediation talks with
the U.S. Soccer Federation in
their dispute over equal pay are
over.
Molly Levinson, who rep-
resents the players in matters
concerning the dispute, said
in a statement Wednesday that
the players look forward to a
jury trial.
“We entered this week’s me-
diation with representatives of
USSF full of hope,” Levinson
said. “Today we must conclude
these meetings sorely dis-
appointed in the federation’s
determination to perpetuate
fundamentally discriminatory
workplace conditions and be-
havior.”
U.S. Soccer said it had hoped
to reach a resolution, but ac-
cused the counsel for the play-
ers of “an aggressive and ulti-
mately unproductive approach.”
“We value our players, and
have continually shown that, by
providing them with compensa-
tion and support that exceeds
any other women’s team in the
world,” the federation’s state-
ment said.
The players sued U.S. Soccer
in March, charging institution-
alized gender discrimination
that includes inequitable com-
pensation when compared with
their counterparts on the men’s
national team. The federation
countered that pay and benefits
‘(W)e are undaunted and will eagerly look forward to a jury trial.’
Molly Levinson, who represents the players in matters concerning of the dispute
for members of the men’s and
women’s teams, bargained by
separate unions, can’t be com-
pared and said there was no
basis for allegations of illegal
conduct.
The two sides agreed to me-
diate the matter once the Wom-
en’s World Cup in France was
over. The United States beat
the Netherlands to win the title
last month, and afterward fans
in the crowd chanted “Equal
Pay!”
Federation President Carlos
Cordeiro wrote U.S. Soccer
members in late July claiming
the women’s team was paid
more overall than the men’s
team between 2010 and 2018.
The letter stated that the fed-
eration paid out $34.1 million in
salary and game bonuses to the
women between 2010 and 2018
as opposed to $26.4 million paid
to the men. The total did not in-
clude the value of benefits re-
ceived only by the women, like
health care, Cordeiro wrote.
The players have disputed
the figures, claiming they are
misleading.
“It is clear that USSF, includ-
ing its Board of Directors and
President Carlos Cordeiro, ful-
ly intend to continue to compen-
sate women players less than
men. They will not succeed,”
Levinson said Wednesday. “We
want all of our fans, sponsors,
peers around the world, and
women everywhere to know we
are undaunted and will eagerly
look forward to a jury trial.”
U.S. Soccer in turn took a
swipe at the Levinson.
“Despite inflammatory
statements from their spokes-
person, which are intended to
paint our actions inaccurately
and unfairly, we are undaunt-
ed in our efforts to continue
discussions in good faith,” the
statement said.

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
My brother,
“Kevin,”
came out at the
age of 30. Now,
20 years later, I
have a son who
would like to stay
with my brother
for a few months
while working
a job nearby.
We have never
ZITS discussed that
Kevin is gay. I
had no idea when
he came out to
me. No one ever
asked me about Dear Abby
it other than my
mother, who goes on and on
when we are alone about “how
could this have happened?”
The news did not change
anything for me. I love my
brother for the kind, loving,
hardworking person he is.
He is always welcome in my
home, but my parents refuse
GARFIELD to accept any of his friends,
so he never brings anyone
along. People still sometimes
ask me if they can set up a girl
for Kevin to date, so I don’t
think most people know he is
gay. He told me that if anyone
questioned me about his
sexual orientation to tell them
to ask him in person, so it’s a
topic I never bring up.
Should I talk to my son
about his uncle being gay
before he moves in with him?
My brother lives alone with
his dog in a
nice house with
extra rooms. —
CAUTIOUS IN
PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR CAU-
TIOUS: Talking to
your son may not
be necessary. If
he and his uncle
have agreed
on the living
arrangement,
the chances
are good that
the subject has
already been
mentioned or is
not an issue.
DEAR ABBY:
I know a girl through work I’ll
call Lydia. She is a hard worker
and a great mom and wife.
She has a loving husband and
three great children under 19.
Her youngest just started driv-
ing. Lydia hosts all the parties
and holidays. Everyone thinks
she has a perfect life, and
she’s the Rock of Gibraltar. If
anyone has a problem, they go
to her.
Not long after I started
working here, there was a terri-
ble tragedy in Lydia’s family (it
didn’t involve her husband or
children, but another relative).
She is very depressed and
doesn’t seem to be able to
pull herself out of it. I know
everyone is busy with their
own lives, but how can I get
her friends — or anyone — to
help her through this?
Abby, she is such a beauti-
ful and kind person, I feel ter-
rible for her. I have only been
at this job six months, and I
don’t really know anyone. She
never talks about it at work.
But I can see the difference
in her. — LENDING A HAND IN
NEW YORK
DEAR LENDING: You are
kind to want to help Lydia.
Because you are concerned
about her, speak to her
privately. Tell her how terrific
you think she is, and you know
she has been going through a
difficult time. Then tell her that
if she wants to talk or there is
anything you can do to help, all
she has to do is let you know.
DEAR ABBY: Please help
settle a debate, and let me
know if I am right or wrong. Is
it rude to drop my girlfriend off
at the door of a restaurant and
go and park the car? When I
walk in, she is already seated,
and I have to go and look for
her. — RUDE IN MICHIGAN
DEAR RUDE: If the weather
is bad, leaving your girlfriend
at the door of the restaurant
while you park the car is con-
siderate. If having to look for
her bothers you, she should
tell the host or hostess that
her friend will be in in a minute
and to please let him know
where she is seated. Her be-
ing seated is actually a help.
She should also keep her eye
on the front door and, when
you come through, flag you to
where she is sitting.

CANDORVILLE Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
15). You feel your feelings,
understand your needs and
develop strategies for getting
those needs met that do not
require other people to be
or behave differently. That
last part represents your real
freedom this year. A profes-
sional breakthrough occurs in
October. The year-end sees you
leading a troupe. Sagittarius
and Capricorn adore you. Your
BABY BLUES lucky numbers are: 11, 37, 2,
24 and 16.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You need feedback. Without it,
you won’t know how your work
and general personality are
landing with other people. More
importantly, you won’t know
what kind of people you’re deal-
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
ing with. Ask for a response.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Your sign is keenly aware of the
risks involved in taking a bull
by the horns — not advisable
today. To control beastliness,
use the power of the herd. Wild
instincts are quelled in a natural
social environment.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). Your feeling that some-
one is showing you a carefully
controlled version of his or her
image is correct. You could be
flattered by this, and yet it’s
still important that you get a
truer perspective on who you’re
dealing with.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
What you thought would please
you turned out to be different
than expected. Now you know
more, perhaps most valuably
that happiness is a byproduct,
not an end product.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An
exchange will happen. You won’t
have to give up what you want
to keep, but you just might find
that “keeping” isn’t so import-
ant to you anymore. Ownership
can be a lot of work.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Sometimes people say the
wrong thing accidentally or out
of social awkwardness and/or
personal baggage that disallows
them to see the wonder and
value in things. Your grace will
smooth it over and make you
the winner.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Conflict, tension and surprise
aren’t just essential elements
of drama; they’re needed in
real life, too. The safe, nice and
appropriate route should work;
it won’t, because it won’t attract
and hold people’s interest.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The loudest one is not the
most powerful one. Talking the
most actually puts a person at
a disadvantage. Power comes
from knowing what others want,
which requires listening well.
Listening is the power move.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Regulating one’s own
emotions comes more easily
to those who aren’t having a
lot of strong emotions. It is no
more admirable to regulate mild
emotions than it is to succumb
to overpowering ones.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There is a primal beat
inside you, barely detectable
when you’re immersed in the
hum of the modern world,
though once you’re in the wilder-
ness (actually or metaphorically)
it syncs with all that is.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The comedians know that
most times it’s better not to try
to be funny at all. The business
successes know that making a
buck isn’t the bottom line. You
will follow your own seemingly
contradictory rules for today’s
win.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). The thrill of victory is like a
special sauce. Once you taste
it, you want to see how it pairs
with everything you eat. Even
the best sauce doesn’t go with
everything. Sometimes losing is
the best win.

Government moves toward easing drive-time rules for truckers

Existing regulations limit long-haul truckers to 11 hours
of driving time within a 14-hour on-duty window
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Trump administration took
a key step Wednesday to-
ward relaxing federal rules
that govern the length of
time truck drivers can
spend behind the wheel,
a move long sought by the
trucking industry but op-
posed by safety advocates
who warn it could lead to
more highway crashes.
The Federal Motor Car-
rier Safety Administration,
an agency of the Transpor-
tation Department, issued
proposed changes to the
“hours of service” rules,
which dictate breaks truck-
ers are required to take,
and their time on and off
duty.
“It puts a little more
power back in the hands of
the drivers and motor car-
riers,” said Raymond Mar-
tinez, head of the federal
safety agency. Martinez
said the agency listened
to drivers and their calls
for safer and more flexible
rules.
But highway safety
groups have warned that
putting the revisions into
place would dangerously
weaken the regulations.
“The agency is offering
flexibility without regard
for the fact that it could
be exploited by the worst
actors in the industry, in-
cluding drivers who will
operate while fatigued and
motor carriers who will
coerce them to do so,” said
Harry Adler, executive di-
rector of the Truck Safety
Coalition.
There were 4,657 large
trucks involved in fatal
crashes in 2017, a 10 per-
cent increase from the
year before, according to
a May report issued by
the agency. Sixty of the
truckers in these accidents
were identified as “asleep
or fatigued,” although the
National Transportation
Safety Board has said this
type of driver impairment
is likely underreported on
police crash forms.
Trade groups that rep-
resented truck drivers
and motor carriers have
pushed for years for less
rigid hours of service
rules, arguing that the reg-
ulations were too rigid and
out of step with the daily
realties confronting most
truck drivers. They found
a supporter in President
Donald Trump, who has
made rolling back layers
of regulatory oversight a
priority.
“To me, having the
flexibility is huge,” said
Terry Button, a hay farm-
er from upstate New York
who owns his truck and
has logged about 4 million
miles since he started driv-
ing in 1976. “It’s good that
the government finally took
the time to listen to the peo-
ple who do the job.” Button
spoke to The Associated
Press on Wednesday.
The existing regulations
limit long-haul truckers to
11 hours of driving time
within a 14-hour on-duty
window. Drivers must have
had 10 consecutive hours
off duty before the on-duty
clock starts anew. A driver
who is going to be driving
for more than eight hours
must take a 30-minute
off-duty break before hit-
ting the eight-hour mark.
