Ward 4 race in Columbus swells to five candidates

Two former educators, Lowndes County NAACP president enter fray
BY MARY POLLITZ
mpollitz@cdispatch.com
COLUMBUS — The special
election field to fill the Ward 4
city council vacancy has swelled
to five candidates.
Pat Fisher Douglas, Lavonne
Latham Harris and Dorothy Mc-
Clung Lewis are all vying for the
seat vacated by former council-
man Fred Jackson, all qualifying
within the last week. They will
join Pierre D. Beard Sr. and Keg-
dra Gibbs-Gray on the ballot for
the Aug. 20 election.
Jackson announced his res-
ignation July 3, saying he want-
ed to spend more time with his
family. He was halfway through
his first term, which expires in
June 2021.  up of debris,” she said. “The dis-
Douglas, 66, a retired Lown-
des County educator who re-
mains active in the community
as an ordained minister, is run-
ning for the first time. She said
she anticipates focusing primar-
ily on youth issues.
“I am a servant of God loving
people making a difference,”
Douglas said.
“Our youth has
slipped through
the cracks. In
third grade now
they are adults
with no guidance,
no recreation-
al activities for Douglas
weekends to keep
them busy.”
The other obvious issue fac-
ing Ward 4, Douglas said, is
helping residents affected by a
destructive Feb. 23 tornado.
“The ... storm is still very
much visible due to lack of pick
placed residents, some still have
no residence to call home. I care
about all of God’s creation.”
Harris, 58, is running for
the second time for the Ward 4
seat. She owns a hair salon and
serves as president of the Lown-
des County NAACP.
Her community involvement
also includes serving with the
Loaves and Fishes nonprofit
and as a member of the Colum-
bus Police Department Citizen
Overview Committee.
“I am a woman with strong
leadership,” Lewis said. “If I
am elected, I will
continue to work
and serve the
community. I just
try to help the
community wher-
ever it’s needed.
I’m not going to
be the person if I Harris
get the seat, they
won’t see me. I want to be visible
and let the people know I am for
them.”
Harris added, with the ef-
fects of February’s tornado still
present, she would also like to
focus on helping citizens still
struggling since the storm.
“I do feel there’s a lot that
can be done in the ward,” Har-
ris said. “I’m riding around the
neighborhood now, a lot of peo-
ple are still not in their houses. I
want to try to talk to people and
help them and try to get their
lives back together. I’ll get with
the mayor and find out what
else can we do to assist with
the clean up before it becomes
a health hazard. Right now, we
still have a lot of debris on the
road. I just want to be there for
the people due to the fact I’m
already working diligently with
the community.”
Lewis, 68, spent 40 years as a
public school teacher in Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Georgia.
Originally from Columbus,
she moved back home in 2016
and quickly saw a need to run for
public office for the first time.
“I just got busy seeing what
needs to be done and started
doing things,” Lewis said. “I
guess from that, my neighbors
thought I would be an ideal per-
son. I just felt like
the area I grew
up in needed to
be cleaned up.
I grew up in the
Memphis Town
projects. From
there (I now live
in) a home on Lewis
27th Street.”
Lewis said she also wants
to promote senior citizen and
youth involvement in Columbus
if elected.
“I’m passionate about my
community. I want to see us do
better,” Lewis said. “I want to
deal with the education because
I’ve been in it so long. I see the
need for children in the summer
time needing something to do,
so I would really like to do that
and to get the seniors involved
in the community. Let’s get to-
gether and together we can get
it cleaned up. I see a lot of po-
tential here, I just want to do as
much as I can as long as I can.”
The deadline for candidates
to qualify is July 31.

MEMA awards $250K grant to Columbus storm clean-up nonprofit

Grant will come in $50K installments,
can only be used for building,
demolition materials
By ISABELLE ALTMAN
ialtman@cdispatch.com
COLUMBUS — Mis-
sissippi Emergency Man-
agement Agency has
awarded Community Re-
covery of Lowndes Coun-
ty a $250,000 grant to aid
homeowners still repair-
ing and rebuilding after a
Feb. 23 tornado and sub-
sequent flooding.
MEMA awarded Com-
munity Recovery with the
first $50,000 installment
of the Disaster Housing
Recovery Grant Tuesday,
according to a Communi-
ty Recovery press release.
Renee Sanders, director
of United Way of Lowndes
County, said the next four
installments will come on
an as-needed basis.
“The Disaster Housing
Recovery Grant is one of
the most responsive tools
that the state has in its
tool kit to assist disaster
victims in repairing their
homes,” MEMA Execu-
tive Director Greg Michel
said in the press release.
“The program requires
the municipality or coun-
ty to have an established
nonprofit status entity to
manage and issue grant
funds. The grant pays for
building materials only,
but MEMA will also co-
ordinate with numerous
volunteer organizations
to provide labor to assist
with those repairs.”
Community Recovery
of Lowndes County is un-
der the umbrella of Unit-
ed Way and was formed
after the February torna-
do specifically to recruit
volunteers to aid those
whose homes were dam-
aged or destroyed during
the storm. Organization
chair Nicole Clinkscales
told The Dispatch home-
owners apply for aid with
Community Recovery
and, if found eligible, are
assigned case managers
to help determine what
work needs to be done on
their home.
So far, Clinkscales
said, Community Recov-
ery has mostly worked on
smaller repairs. With this
grant, she hopes to be
able to tackle bigger proj-
ects for “clients” whose
homes need to be demol-
ished and rebuilt.
She said there are cur-
rently about nine such
major projects case man-
agers are working on,
primarily on Shady, Moss
and Railroad Streets and
areas around Hunt Suc-
cess Academy on 14th
Street North, where the
tornado did the most
damage.
“A couple of them es-
sentially are rebuilds
… meaning they’ve had
structural (damage),
walls and things like that
have been destroyed,” she
said.
“We’re extremely ex-
cited and … we’re ap-
preciative to MEMA for
trusting these funds to us
and we’re grateful to the
clients that have been pa-
tient,” she added. “... This
is going to give us a really
good start.”
Both Clinkscales and
Sanders stressed the or-
ganization is always look-
ing for volunteers and
donations. They added if
anyone with a storm-dam-
aged home hasn’t reached
out to the organization,
they can still do so at
662-352-8010 to set up an
appointment with a case
manager.

Questions correction on
Steve Wallace’s military
service
“In the June 9 edition, 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. The incorrect
information was obtained
from a 2009 article in The
Dispatch.”
When printing a
correction, even one that
occurred a month earlier,
The Dispatch never says
what was originally written
that needed correcting. In
this case, in a Sunday, June
9 front-page article about
D-Day hero Brad Freeman,
The Dispatch reported that
Steve Wallace (who was
escorting Mr. Freeman at
D-Day ceremonies in France)
served in an airborne unit
in Vietnam. The Dispatch
printed the same thing ten
years ago and mined that
2009 article to fill out the June
9 article. But last Friday’s
correction needs a correction
itself, because a quick look
at the internet shows that
the 541st Parachute Infantry
Division was phased out in
1948.
It’s been common
knowledge in Columbus for
years that he served in the
101st Airborne Division in
Vietnam. Now The Dispatch
is suggesting that in fact his
only military service was at
an ROTC summer camp. But
the reference to a parachute
unit that was dissolved
70 years ago means that
the correction itself is not
accurate. What is going on
here?
Roger Larsen
Columbus
leadership’s response to
comments by Trump
I am — again — dis-
mayed at the level of political
discourse in our country,
a subject I discussed in a
recent letter to the Dispatch
(July 3). This time, however,
I direct my criticism outside
Columbus, specifically at the
President and South Carolina
Senator Lindsey Graham,
whose performances Monday
I find inconsistent with what I
expect out of any of my fellow
citizens, let alone those who
represent our country at the
highest levels.
For those who missed it,
President Trump earlier this
week sarcastically suggested
that four Democratic members
of the House of Representa-
tives, Alexandria Ocasio-Cor-
tez of New York, Rashida Tlaib
of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of
Minnesota, and Ayanna Press-
ley of Massachusetts, all of
whom have been critical of the
Trump administration policies
on immigration, “go back and
help fix the totally broken and
crime infested places from
which they came.”
What? From which they
came? Meaning their four
individual states? No, unfor-
tunately, that’s not what he
meant. Certainly not how I
and many others perceived
the statement. That’s an
absurd suggestion no matter
the circumstances. These are
elected representatives, just
like the President and Senator
Graham and, like the sena-
tor and President, deserve
better public treatment than
that. Later, Senator Graham,
called these same four women
a “bunch of Communists.”
Really? That’s a pretty big leap
from criticizing immigration
policy. By your logic, I guess
you would wrongly call me
a communist, too. Senator
Graham, I dislike many things
you say and disagree with
many of your beliefs but I
don’t then call you a fascist or
anti-American.
Let me be clear. Despite
considering myself a fellow
Democrat, I do not agree with
every position taken by these
4 women — not by any stretch.
I don’t even agree completely
with their stances on immigra-
tion. But that’s no reason to
label them as anti-American.
Instead, I presume these wom-
en ran for office for the same
reasons President Trump
and Senator Graham did —
they wanted to serve their
communities to make both
those communities and their
country better, and thought
they had some ideas that
would help bring that about.
I assume the same about
anyone who runs for office.
For the President and Senator
Graham to suggest otherwise
is not only false, it’s wrong in
a moral sense, too. They know
what they’re doing and I think
they know it’s wrong. They
do it anyway. They’re not the
only ones, it happens on both
sides of the aisle - and it’s still
always wrong.

Playtime over for

Democrats’ radicals
It was certainly no slip of the
tongue when House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi cut a small group of her par-
ty’s radicals to size. “All these people
have the public whatever and their
Twitter world,” she told The New
York Times. “But they didn’t have
any following. They’re four people,
and that’s how many votes they got.”
The issue at hand was the $4.6 bil-
lion border bill passed by Congress.
The “squad” — Reps. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Froma Harrop
Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley — con-
sidered it inadequate for protecting
migrant children. Pelosi argued that it was the strongest bill
they could get passed.
It was totally predictable that the four would go bananas
over this questioning of their real power. Pelosi had stuck a
pin in their balloon of self-importance, and with it, the myth of
their immense following — outside Twitter, that is.
Speaking in their defense, Hillary Clinton’s former spokes-
man Brian Fallon said, “Those freshman members are break-
ing through, and they’re building a movement, and the more
power that movement gains, the more persuasive they will be
to Pelosi.” OK, Brian, when they have eight members, give us
a ring.
But even if their number were to double to eight, the squad
would still be a small fraction of the House’s 235-member

In crowded 2020 Democratic field, a clear top tier emerges

‘There’s a field of likelies, unlikelies and possibles’
Sue Dvorsky, the former chairwoman of the Iowa Democratic Party
By JULIE PACE
and STEVE PEOPLES
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — No
votes have been cast in
the Democratic presiden-
tial nominating contest,
but the winnowing has
begun.
A distinct top tier of
candidates is breaking
away from the pack in ear-
ly polling and fundrais-
ing, building distance be-
tween themselves and the
rest of the bloated field.
Although the first nomi-
nating contest in Iowa is
still more than six months
away, tighter qualifying
standards for the fall de-
bates and cash flow prob-
lems have prompted ques-
tions about how many
campaigns will still be
operational next year.
Five candidates have
pulled away from the
pack: former Vice Presi-
dent Joe Biden, Vermont
Sen. Bernie Sanders,
Massachusetts Sen. Eliz-
abeth Warren, California
Sen. Kamala Harris and
Pete Buttigieg, the mayor
of South Bend, Indiana.
Biden has consistently
led early polls, with the
four others jostling for po-
sition behind him. Most
other candidates have
struggled to even hit 2
percent in recent surveys.
Money has also flowed
disproportionally to the
top five candidates. Butt-
igieg, who led the field in
second quarter fundrais-
ing with $24.8 million,
raised more than a quar-
tet of senators — Amy
Klobuchar, Cory Booker,
Kirsten Gillibrand and
Michael Bennet — com-
bined.
“There’s a field of like-
lies, unlikelies and possi-
bles,” said Sue Dvorsky,
the former chairwoman
of the Iowa Democratic
Party.
Even as the primary
field cleaves into haves
and have nots, big ques-
tions remain about what
direction the party will
take as voters weigh who
best, and how best, to
defeat President Donald
Trump next year. The top
tier includes moderates
and liberals; the oldest
contender in the race and
the youngest; and a black
candidate.
At this early phase,
the enduring strength of
the leading White House
hopefuls is unclear. Biden
is a fragile front-runner
whose decadeslong polit-
ical career will continue
to be picked apart. Har-
ris faces questions about
whether she can sustain
her spurts of dynamism.
Buttigieg is struggling
with black voters, the
backbone of the Demo-
cratic Party. And some
Democrats anxiously
wonder whether Sanders
and Warren, the most
liberal candidates in the
race, could win a general
election.

Facebook’s
currency plan gets
hostile reception
in Congress
By MARCY GORDON
AP Business Writer

WASHINGTON — Un-
der sharp criticism from
senators, a Facebook exec-
utive on Tuesday defended
the social network’s ambi-
tious plan to create a dig-
ital currency and pledged
to work with regulators to
achieve a system that pro-
tects the privacy of users’
data.
“We know we need to
take the time to get this
right,” David Marcus, the
Facebook executive lead-
ing the project, told the
Senate Banking Commit-
tee at a hearing.
But that message did
little to assure senators.
Members of both parties
demanded to know why
a company with massive
market power and a track
record of scandals should
be trusted with such a
far-reaching project, giv-
en the potential for fraud,
abuse and criminal activi-
ty.
“Facebook is danger-
ous,” asserted Sen. Sher-
rod Brown of Ohio, the
committee’s senior Dem-
ocrat. Like a toddler play-
ing with matches, “Face-
book has burned down
the house over and over,”
he told Marcus. “Do you
really think people should
trust you with their bank
accounts and their mon-
ey?”

statistic from a 2014 study

Association.
“It is the No. 1 thing
we can do to decrease
the opioid overdoses and
deaths across the nation,”
Grantham said. “There’s
nothing else that can
achieve that.”
However, a recent
study published in Pro-
ceedings of the Nation-
al Academy of Sciences
found that the trend in
the 2014 study, spanning
1999-2010, hasn’t held up
over time, and uncovered
no evidence “that either
broader (recreational) or
more restrictive (low-tet-

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State has parted ways with

softball coach Vann Stuedeman, the school announced
Tuesday.
It’s unclear if Stuedeman’s departure was mutual on
both ends.
“We are grateful to Vann for eight years of service to
Mississippi State softball,” MSU Athletic Director John
Cohen said in a news release. “We appreciate her efforts and
contributions to the program. We wish her the very best in
her future endeavors. We will move forward immediately
with a national search to identify our next head coach.”
Stuedeman has been the head coach at MSU since 2012,
leading the Bulldogs to NCA A Regional appearances in
seven of her eight years at the helm.
MSU finished the 2019 season 35-23 and was eliminated
from the 2019 NCA A Tournament by Women’s College
World Series participant Washington in the Seattle
Regional Final.
“Mississippi State was a dream job come true,”
Stuedeman said in a news release. “I have enjoyed working

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: FOOTBALL: SEC MEDIA DAYS

BREWERS 13, BRAVES 1

Yelich hits grand

slam, Brewers
power past
Braves, 13-1
The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Earlier in the day, Brew-

ers manager Craig Counsell said his team
had to find a way to make more plays in order
to claw out of its midseason slump.
Milwaukee then went out and did it Tues-
day night.
Christian Yelich hit his second career
grand slam, Keston Hiura and Lorenzo Cain
each had a solo home run, and the Brewers
got a needed 13-1 victory over the Atlanta
Braves.
“We talked about (making plays) a lot,”
Counsell said. “(We had) a lot of people doing
a good job tonight.”
Brandon Woodruff (11-3) gave up one run
and five hits in 6 2/3 innings for the Brewers,
who had lost eight of their previous 10 games.
The right-hander walked one and struck out
seven, snapping a 12-game streak in which
Milwaukee starters failed to get a win.
With the Brewers leading 7-1 in the sev-
enth, Yelich hit his 33rd home run of the sea-
son with the bases loaded. The shot, which
came against Braves reliever Huascar Ynoa,
was the first grand slam for Milwaukee this
season and the second of Yelich’s career. He
also had one last Sept. 2 at Washington.
Mike Moustakas picked up his 1,000th
career hit with a single to right-center field
in the seventh. Braves first baseman Freddie
Freeman stepped away from Moustakas to
allow the 10-year veteran to acknowledge the
standing ovation from the crowd of 31,599.
“Obviously, the most important thing was
getting the W,” Moustakas said. “Every one
(win) counts right now. We haven’t been
playing our best baseball. Huge win for us.
The boys came out and played phenomenal
today.”
Bryse Wilson (1-1) allowed four runs and
six hits in four innings for the Braves. Wil-
son, recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A
Gwinnett, became the youngest pitcher to
start a game in the National League this sea-
son at 21 years, 208 days.
“His secondary stuff was just so-so tonight
but he kept it manageable,” Braves manager
Brian Snitker said of Wilson. “We still had a
chance coming out of the fifth, we were still
within striking distance but it just kind of got
out of hand.”
Tyler Flowers scored the lone run for the
Braves on a solo homer in the fifth, his eighth
of the season. The 12-run loss is the largest
deficit for Atlanta this year.
Wilson retired eight of the first nine bat-
ters he faced, allowing only a solo home run
to Hiura in the second. But then four straight

Ole Miss prepares for new start

HOOVER, Ala. — Matt Luke has
seen the light.
Freed from the “cloud” of NCAA
sanctions and a bowl ban, the Mis-
sissippi football coach told gathered
reporters at Tuesday’s SEC Media
Days session in Hoover his team is
refreshed heading into the 2019 sea-
son.
“I just think just the overall feel of
normalcy, even coming here today
and answering questions about foot-
ball, has been refreshing,” Luke said.
Following the fallout from the
Hugh Freeze scandal and impending
investigation, Ole Miss is now bowl
eligible and back to its full allotment
of 85 scholarships following nearly
three years of turmoil.
“I think when you start looking at
the end of October and November of
last season in the fourth quarter —
that’s when that depth really starts
showing up,” Luke said of having a
short number of scholarships. “I’m
excited about some of this, even
though there are going to be new
faces and some of them are going to
be freshmen, there are going to be
several competition battles going on
in fall camp, and I’m really looking
forward to seeing that depth show
up especially towards the end of the

On campus, both quarterback
Matt Corral and offensive lineman

said. “This year it’s a whole different
meaning because we can get a prize
at the end. We want that.”
“You’ve got a lot of guys that can
get on the field and compete and
that’s the biggest thing,” Givens add-
ed. “You have depth now to compete
and make people work harder. It
builds team character.”
The Rebels have also seen the re-
sults of a cleaned up program on the
recruiting trail. After inking a mas-
sive 31-member class for the 2019 cy-
cle, Luke and his staff have earned 16
of Ole Miss’ 21 commitments in the
class of 2020 commits since June 3.
“It’s fun to be able to walk into a
living room of a recruit and not hav-
ing to talk about any of that stuff,”
Vasha Hunt/USA TODAY Sports
Matt Luke
Luke said of the sanctions. “You have
the opportunity to sell Ole Miss and
Oxford for what it is and you don’t
have to worry about all of the other
garbage.”
While the Rebels are now cleared
from the fray of the Freeze era, on-
field questions persist. Administra-
tively Luke welcomes Rich Rodri-
guez and Mike MacIntyre as the new
offensive and defensive coordinators,
respectively.
Rodriguez takes over an offense
anchored by a first year starting
quarterback in Corral and Maxwell
Award Watch List member running
back Scottie Phillips.
Defensively, McIntyre owns the
unenviable task of improving a unit
that finished 114th in the nation in
total defense and 113th in points al-
lowed per game a year ago.
Fresh faces aside, there’s a feeling
of reprieve in Oxford — one that the
Rebels hope leads to their first bowl
game since 2015.
“All that stuff is in the past now,”
Givens said. “And we’re ready to
move on from it.”

BASEBALL: MAJOR LEAGUE

Schwarber’s homer in 10th gives

Cubs 4-3 win over Reds
The Associated Press

Harper drives in 5 runs,

CHICAGO — Kyle Schwarber
wasn’t thinking home run when he

Phillies rally past Dodgers 9-8

stepped to the plate in the bottom
of the 10th inning Tuesday night.
That, he believes, was the key to
success.
Schwarber hit a solo home run
with one out to give the Chicago
Cubs a 4-3 comeback victory over
the Cincinnati Reds.
The lefty slugger stroked a 1-1
pitch from closer Raisel Iglesias (2-
8) into the basket in front of the left
field bleachers for his 21st homer
and first career game-ending hit of
any kind.
“I was actually trying to hit a
single up the middle,” Schwarber
said. “I didn’t want to get too big.
I stayed up the middle, just got un-
der it and hit it well enough for it to
catch the basket.”
Robel Garcia and Kris Bryant
also connected for the NL Central
leaders, who have won six of eight.
Eugenio Suárez homered for
Cincinnati, which fell to 7-4 against
Chicago this season.
Steve Cishek (3-5) worked the
10th and four Cubs relievers com-
bined for four scoreless innings.
Iglesias was pitching for the
third straight day. He got five outs
for a save Monday night and then
the final two outs of the ninth in-
ning Tuesday before staying in for
the 10th.
“To come back tonight, he had
one (bad) pitch,” Reds manager
David Bell said. “It’s too bad be-
cause it shouldn’t take away from
what he did and his performance
tonight.
“His arm feels great. Knowing
that it might cost us the next day
or two, we went for it right there.”
New catcher Martín Maldona-
do, acquired Monday night by Chi-
cago from Kansas City, started and
went 0 for 4.
Cubs spot starter Alec Mills al-
lowed three runs and five hits over
six innings in his season debut. He
walked one, struck out two and hit
four batters with pitches.
Reds starter Anthony DeScla-
fani allowed three runs and four
hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Cincinnati’s Derek Dietrich was
hit by a pitch twice to extend his
major league-leading total to 20.
Suárez opened the scoring with
a solo homer in the first on a 3-2
pitch with two outs for a second
straight night.
Cincinnati, though, wasn’t
through. Yasiel Puig and Dietrich
were hit by pitches, and Nick Sen-
zel followed with an RBI single.
José Peraza then hit a drive into
left-center for a double. Dietrich
scored easily to make it 3-0, but
Senzel was cut down at the plate.
It was Chicago’s second stellar
defensive play of the inning. Earli-
er, center fielder Albert Almora Jr.
made a sliding, over-the-shoulder
catch on the warning track to rob
Joey Votto of an extra-base hit.
“That’s probably the best play
I’ve ever had made when I was
pitching, by far,” Mills said.
Garcia’s two-run shot in the
second got the Cubs close and Bry-
ant tied it with a solo homer in the
sixth to chase DeSclafani, who had
retired the previous seven batters.
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper hit a two-run double off Dodg-
ers closer Kenley Jansen with one out in the bottom of the ninth after
pinch-hitter Matt Beaty hit a three-run homer off Philadelphia closer Hec-
tor Neris in the top half, rallying the Phillies to a 9-8 win over Los Angeles
on Tuesday night.
Pinch-hitter Andrew Knapp hit a double with one out in the bottom of
the ninth and Cesar Hernandez singled. Scott Kingery followed with a
bloop single to center that scored Knapp to get the Phillies within a run.
Harper then ripped a ball to the gap that bounced off A.J. Pollock’s glove
and went to the wall.
Cody Bellinger hit his major league-leading 34th homer and Max Mun-
cy, A.J. Pollock and Joc Pederson also went deep for the Dodgers.
Harper hit a three-run homer and drove in five RBIs, Brad Miller and
Kingery also connected for the Phillies.
Ranger Suarez (1-0) got two outs for the win.
Jansen (3-3) has four blown saves in 24 tries.
YANKEES 8, RAYS 3
NEW YORK — Aaron Judge hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the
eighth inning, Didi Gregorius followed with a grand slam as New York
beat Tampa Bay after another surly clash between CC Sabathia and the
Rays.
Judge smashed a 3-2 pitch from left-hander Colin Poche (2-3) into the
right-center field seats to make it 4-3. It was Judge’s 10th homer.
Gregorius took a curtain call after hitting a long grand slam. Edwin
Encarnación hit his 28th homer, DJ LeMahieu also went deep, and New
York stretched its AL East lead over Tampa Bay to six games.
Yandy Díaz hit a solo homer and an RBI double, and Austin Meadows
hit his 14th homer for Tampa Bay.
Benches cleared during the sixth inning amid a shouting match be-
tween Sabathia and hitter Avisaíl García. After Sabathia struck out García
looking to strand two runners, the 38-year-old barked and pointed at
García. Sabathia was restrained by Gregorius and never got close to García
while both benches and bullpens emptied. No punches were thrown.
David Hale (3-0) pitched two scoreless innings for New York.
BLUE JAYS 10, RED SOX 4
BOSTON — Teoscar Hernández hit a three-run homer off new Boston
starter Andrew Cashner, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had three hits to lead
Toronto.
Gurriel had a single, double and triple, and Justin Smoak also homered
for Toronto, which lost three of its previous four games.
Cashner (9-4) was acquired from the Orioles on Saturday. He failed to
get an out in the sixth, allowing six runs — five earned — on eight hits and
two walks, striking out two. He also gave up two homers, hit a batter and
threw a wild pitch on a third strike.
Xander Bogaerts had a single, double and home run, and Mookie Betts
also had three hits for Boston, which fell 10 games behind the first-place
New York Yankees in the AL East.
Justin Shafer (1-1) got the win. Toronto broke it open with four runs in
the ninth.

North and South Korea to meet
in 2022 World Cup qualifiers
North Korea and South Korea have
been drawn together in an Asian qualifying
group as the road to soccer’s 2022 World
Cup in Qatar became clearer Wednesday.
The Korean neighbors will play each
other home and away in the next year
in the five-nation Group H that includes
Lebanon, Turkmenistan and Sri Lanka.
In 2008, North Korea twice played
home World Cup qualifiers against South
Korea in China because it refused to raise
its opponents’ flag or play their anthem in
Pyongyang, as FIFA rules required.
Wednesday’s draw involving 40 na-
tional teams was sure to test some political
sensitivities, and Saudi Arabia and Yemen
were also put in the same group.
A Saudi-led coalition allied with
Yemen’s government has been at war
with rebel Houthis that has killed tens of
thousands of people since 2015.
It seems unlikely Yemen can host
the Saudis and three other opponents on
home soil. For the 2018 World Cup qualify-
ing program, Yemen played home games
in Doha, Qatar, for security reasons.
The Saudis, which played at the 2018
World Cup in Russia, are top-seeded
in Group D that also has Uzbekistan,
Palestine and Singapore.
The eight five-team groups play from
September through June. Group winners
and the four best runners-up advance to
another group stage, played from Septem-
ber 2020 to October 2021. Those 12 teams
also qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup.
Four Asian teams will qualify directly
for the 32-team World Cup. A fifth nation
can advance to Qatar in an intercontinental
playoff round in March 2022.
Top-ranked Iran was drawn with
neighboring Iraq, plus Bahrain, Hong Kong
and Cambodia, in Group C.
United Arab Emirates is top-seeded
in a Group G loaded with Southeast Asian
derbies, involving Vietnam, Thailand,
Malaysia and Indonesia.
There was growing laughter in the
draw room at Asian Football Confederation
headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
as balls drawn by Australia great Tim Cahill
continued to join the regional neighbors
together.
Australia, which plays in the Asian
region, will play Jordan, Taiwan, Kuwait
and Nepal in Group B.
World Cup host Qatar also plays as
this group stage doubles up as qualifiers
for the 2023 Asian Cup, when it will defend
the continental title in China. Qatar will play
Oman, India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh in
Group E.
China is in Group A with Syria,
Philippines, Maldives and Guam. Japan
is in Group F with Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Myanmar and Mongolia.
The Korean derbies will be the first
in World Cup qualifying for more than a
decade. Then, the teams were grouped
together in back-to-back rounds as both
advanced to the 2010 tournament in South
Africa.
Both North Korea’s home games were
played in Shanghai when then-leader Kim
Jong Il’s government declined to play by
FIFA protocol rules.
The global 2022 qualifying program
— more than 800 games to decide 31
qualifiers joining Qatar — began in Asia
with preliminary games in June.
Asia is also the first continental
body to begin setting its groups. Africa’s
confederation will draw its first games next
week and kick off in September.

BASKETBALL: WNBA Storm’s Natasha Howard

denies abusing her wife
Surging Aces have won 5 straight, sit atop power poll Natasha Howard denies allegations she
abused her wife in a statement provided by her
lawyer Tuesday night.
“The allegations that have been made
against me are very serious. I deny them.” the
The Associated Press
statement said.

NEW YORK — Kayla McBride’s eyes light

up when talking about the Las Vegas offense.
With the addition of 6-foot-8 Liz Cambage
in the offseason to join 6-5 A’ja Wilson in the
Aces’ frontcourt, her life on the court as a
shooter has gotten much easier.
“Liz and A’ja command so much attention
that I’m getting a lot of good looks,” McBride
said. “We have so many weapons that it
makes it tough for defenses to stop us.”
McBride has helped the Aces average 80
points a game — third best in the league.
She’s averaging 15.4 points while shooting a
career-best 48% from the field, including 46.8
from behind the 3-point line.
Las Vegas has won five straight games
and vaulted to the top of the WNBA stand-
ings. The team also has moved to No. 1 in
the power poll for the first time in franchise
history.
POWER POLL
A look at this week’s WNBA poll:
1. Las Vegas (11-5): The Aces swept a three-game
road trip, winning two close games. They head out
to Seattle Friday before finishing off the first part of
season with two home games.
2. Connecticut (11-6): After hitting a rut, the Sun
have won their last two games and host two games
before the All-Star break. Connecticut is 7-1 at home
this season.
3. Washington (9-6): Elena Delle Donne has been
out with a broken nose and the Mystics have strug-
gled, dropping three straight. Washington hopes the
All-Star captain will be back soon.
4. Minnesota (10-7): The Lynx have been playing
stellar defense all season, second best in the league
allowing 73.3 points a game.
5. Los Angeles (9-7): With Candace Parker sidelined
with an ankle injury, the Ogwumike sisters have
picked up the scoring load for the Sparks.
6. Seattle (10-8): After a couple of days off, the
rejuvenated Storm returned to action and dominated
opponents. The Storm finished off their home stretch
with easy wins over Dallas and New York.
7. Chicago (9-8): The Sky cap off first part of season
with home games against Indiana and Atlanta.
8. Phoenix (7-8): Diana Taurasi played her first
game of the season in Connecticut after missing the
Mercury’s first 13 contests with a back injury. It was
short-lived return as she missed Phoenix’s next game
though and her status is unclear.
9. New York (7-10): It was a disappointing road trip
for the Liberty, who weren’t very competitive against
either Chicago or Seattle.
10. Atlanta (5-11): The Dream had their modest
two-game winning streak end in an overtime loss to
Los Angeles. Coach Nicki Collen has the team playing
better this month after a horrendous start to season.
11. Indiana (6-12): The Fever have lately fallen be-
hind big in games only to see their reserves come in
and make games competitive. But Indiana is still look-
ing for one more win to eclipse last season’s total.
12. Dallas (5-11): Wings got a huge win over coach
Brian Agler’s former Los Angeles team before falling
to Seattle and Chicago.
The Seattle Storm All-Star was accused
by her wife on social media Saturday of physi-
cally threatening and abusing her. No charges
against Howard have been filed. She posted
a minute-long, expletive-filled video on Twitter
from March in which she yelled at Howard
about being threatened by the Storm forward.
She also posted screen shots of conversations
she had with Howard’s agent and the team’s
general manager.
Howard, who filed for divorce on Monday,
said she is prepared to cooperate with the
Seattle Storm’s investigation as well as that of
the WNBA.
Howard is averaging 17.4 points and 8.2
rebounds this season. The 27-year-old former
Florida State player was selected to the All-
Star Game for the first time in her career.
This is the second domestic incident in
the WNBA this season. The WNBA suspend-
ed Los Angeles Sparks guard Riquna Williams
earlier Tuesday for 10 games. She was arrest-
ed in April after authorities say she attacked
her former girlfriend at a Florida home.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
17). One of your many super-
powers is knowing when the
party is over. You’ll use that
instinct to make money, move
through adventures and general-
ly execute acts of terrific timing.
A stellar deal closes in Septem-
ber. You’ll launch a vision before
the close of 2019, and a team
will assemble to make it real.

BABY BLUES you. Your lucky numbers are:
30, 37, 1, 12 and 19.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). You always have feelers
extended for danger, opportuni-
ty and necessary information.
You don’t notice this until those
feelers start tingling like they
will today. Your spidey sense is
telling you something.

FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The sweetest words to land on
your ears will be “you’re right,”
or possibly, “that’s right.”...
Anything along those lines will
do! It’s especially satisfying
because, well, you are so very
right!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
When someone joins in on your
emotional stance, it feels good.
It’s not that you need the vali-
dation, but when it comes, you
calm down, feel comfortable
— happy, even. Perhaps you did
need it after all.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Your reputation will precede
you. You can’t control what
people say about you, but you
can enact behaviors and brand
yourself in a way that makes
certain definitions stick.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Building bonds is interesting
work. The more you talk about
things you have in common
other than business, the more
likely it is that business is going
to happen.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). The reptilian brain has
been keeping humans alive for
thousands of years. So try not
to blame it too much for firing
those fight-or-flight signals
seemingly unnecessarily. Just
say, “Thanks for the message,”
and then cozy up to your fear.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
The winning move will be one
that is pleasantly persistent.
The consistency of tone earns
trust, and the established
pattern primes everyone for
what’s sure to happen, that is
to say, you’ll eventually get what
you want.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Define success, not only
for yourself but also to hear
another person’s definition. If
people working together have
different definitions of the
success, the journey will be
arduous indeed.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). “How?” is the question
that will bring people together.
People who know how will show
people who don’t. Or perhaps
nobody knows how and there
will be some enjoyable joint
experimentation on the matter.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You suspect that your idea
will work well for absolutely ev-
eryone involved, though you’re
currently lacking in the influence
needed to execute it. Can you
make it seem like the leader’s
idea?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). A hunch is not a magic
visitor from the land of intuition.
A hunch is a converging combi-
nation of different kinds of intel-
ligence. You will feel that a thing
is true before you witness it or
can explain it to anyone else.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). There are matters best
observed with the closest
attention you can give them,
which will not nearly be enough
to understand them at first.
Assume there is more to know,
and then keep coming back.

PASTA SALAD
WITH PESTO
Servings: 8-10
Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 pound farfalle
Salt and pepper
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil
3 cups fresh basil leaves, lightly
bruised
1 cup baby spinach
3/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese,
grated (3/4 cup), plus extra for
serving
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
12 ounces cherry tomatoes,
quartered
n Bring 4 quarts water to boil
in large pot. Add garlic and cook
for 1 minute. Remove garlic with
slotted spoon and rinse under
cold water to stop cooking. Let
garlic cool slightly, then peel and
chop fine; set aside.
n Meanwhile, add pasta and 1
tablespoon salt to boiling water
and cook, stirring often, until
tender. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking
water. Drain pasta, toss with 1
tablespoon oil, and spread in sin-
gle layer on rimmed baking sheet.
Let pasta and cooking water cool
to room temperature, about 30
minutes.
n Process basil, spinach, 1/4
cup pine nuts, lemon juice, garlic,
and 1 teaspoon salt in food
processor until smooth, about 30
seconds, scraping down sides of
bowl as needed. Add Parmesan,
mayonnaise, and remaining
1/4 cup oil and process until
thoroughly combined; transfer to
large bowl.
n Toss cooled pasta with pesto,
adding reserved cooking water, 1
tablespoon at a time, until pesto
evenly coats pasta.
n Fold in remaining 1/2 cup pine
nuts and tomatoes. Season with
salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
n To Make Ahead: Cooled pasta
can be tossed with half of pesto
and refrigerated for up to 3 days;
refrigerate remaining pesto sepa-
rately, covered with 1 tablespoon
extra-virgin olive oil. To serve,
microwave pasta to remove chill,
1 to 2 minutes, then toss pasta
with reserved pesto, adding hot
water as needed, 1 tablespoon
at a time, until pasta is evenly
coated, and continue with the
last step.
