Did you hear?
Netflix subscriber drop hints
at streaming-service fatigue
‘Netflix raising prices prompted
people to think about whether they
were getting value for money’
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter
By MAE ANDERSON
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK — How
much is too much for
streaming video?
A dramatic slowdown in
worldwide growth at Net-
flix — including the first
quarterly drop in its U.S.
subscribers since 2011 —
is raising questions about
just how much are people
willing to pay for stream-
ing services. Especially
with a host of new ones
from Disney, Apple and
others on their way.
A recent price increase
seems to have spooked
Netflix subscribers. The
company lost 126,000
subscribers in the U.S.,
less than 1 percent of
its 60.1 million paid U.S.
subscriptions, during the
April-June period. Its most
popular plan rose from $11
to $13 in a U.S. price hike
announced in January and
rolled out for many sub-
scribers during the second
quarter. Worldwide, the
service picked up 2.7 mil-
lion worldwide subscrib-
ers, far below Netflix’s
forecast of 5 million.
“Netflix raising prices
prompted people to think
about whether they were
getting value for money,”
Wedbush analyst Michael
Pachter said.
While people are will-
ing to shell out for sever-
al services to meet their
streaming needs, he said,
they’re also willing to can-
cel if they’re not using it
enough, just as they would
with a gym membership or
a subscription to the New
Yorker magazine.
Streaming services
preparing to compete with
Netflix appear to be taking
note.
Disney Plus, set to
debut in November, will
already be cheaper than
Netflix at $8 a month,
though Disney Plus will
also have a smaller video
library. Hulu has cut prices
to $6 from $8 for its main,
ad-supported service. Ser-
vices from Apple, due out
this year, and WarnerMe-
dia and NBCUniversal,
out in 2020, don’t have
announced prices yet, al-
though the NBCUniversal
service will be free and ad
supported for traditional
cable TV subscribers.

Inter-related developments in limbo
after aldermen fail to pass resolution
LINK, Castleberry
brought proposals to
joint meeting; Aldermen
lose quorum before
taking Castleberry vote
By Slim Smith
ssmith@cdispatch.com
A two-hour executive session
ended Thursday without an agree-
ment on a pair of inter-related proj-
ects, leaving developers frustrated
and the Starkville mayor insisting
the projects are still on the table.
The joint meeting of the
Starkville Board of Aldermen, Ok-
tibbeha County Board of Super-
visors and the Oktibbeha County
Economic Development Authori-
ty was held to consider incentive
packages for two projects — one
brought by the Golden Triangle
Development LINK and the other
by developer Mark Castleberry.
But after two hours, the meet-
ing ended without the approval of
the Castleberry resolution from
the board of aldermen, which lost
its quorum in the middle of the
session, preventing it from tak-
ing action. The city held its quo-
rum long enough to approve the
LINK’s resolution.
Although the board of supervi-
sors did pass both proposals, Jack-
son attorney Chris Pace, repre-
senting the LINK, said approvals
from the city were needed to move
forward.
“The city and county each had
multiple resolutions in front of
them on two different projects that
were interrelated,” Pace said. “The
city took action on one, but did not
take action on the other. They ta-
bled that issue and will take it up
on a subsequent meeting.”
Mayor Lynn Spruill said the
city was unable to take action on
the Castleberry project when
Ward 3 Alderman David Little,
who was participating via phone,
had to leave the meeting.
With just three other aldermen
present — Ward 2 Alderman San-
dra Sistrunk, Ward 4 Alderman Ja-
son Walker and Ward 5 Alderman
Hamp Beatty — Little’s exit left
the board without a quorum.
“The city lost its quorum before
they could take a vote,” Pace said.
“That was the whole problem.”
LINK CEO Joe Max Higgins
declined comment, referring all
questions to Pace.
Castleberry spoke only briefly.
“We’re very pleased the county
passed our resolution,” he said.
“We’re disappointed the city chose
not to. That’s all I’m
going to say.”
Pace said the
LINK proposal is
for development at
a site at the county’s
new industrial park.
Castleberry said his
project is for a retail Castleberry
development on a site in the city
that is currently occupied by an-
other company.
Neither Pace nor Castleberry
would elaborate on plans for the
projects.
“The party that did get approval
does not want to announce their
progress until approval is given on
the other one,” Pace said.
Spruill insisted both projects
are still viable.
“It’s a sensitive matter, so in or-
der not to jeopardize the project,
because they are
inter-related, I’m go-
ing to choose not to
talk about it because
I don’t want it to go
away,” she said. “I
want us to take it up
again and I believe
we will.” Spruill
Spruill said she
will call a special meeting of the al-
dermen, but she did not say when.
The city’s next scheduled meet-
ing, a work session, is July 26.

as a whole and should be protected.
That same idea, she argues, should be
applied to space.
For All Moonkind has published a
“Declaration of Objectives and Activ-
ities Regarding Cultural Heritage in
Outer Space,” which recognizes that in-
terfering with landing sites would result
in a loss of some of that heritage. They
are currently recruiting space-faring
companies and other entities to sign the
declaration. Michelle also helped write
the “One Small Step Act,” which would
require federal agencies issuing licens-
es for activities in space to prohibit
damaging the Apollo 11 site. That act is
currently awaiting a vote in Congress.
For All Moonkind is also one of 44
non-governmental organizations that
have been named a Permanent Observ-
er of the United Nations’ Committee
for the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space,
which meets three times a year in
Vienna, Austria. The Hanlons stressed
they want their advocacy to be global
and protect far more than just the spot
where Armstrong and Aldrin walked.
“We’re being given a gift by being
able to protect those sites before any-
body’s gone back,” Michelle said. “If
you look at historic sites in the U.S. or
anywhere in the world, it’s always ‘Oh,
we have to stop this from crumbling,’ ...
Now we’ve got this history sitting there
pristine waiting for U.S. to protect it. It’s
such a great opportunity. We don’t want
3,000 years from now our whatever
great-great-great-grandchildren having
to dig around on the moon for the first
landing site. We can protect it now.”
‘It’s going to get crowded up there’
Companies around the world are now
starting to plan launches to the moon
and beyond. In April, Israeli company
SpaceIL launched a lunar spacecraft
that crashed into the moon. Other com-
panies and organizations have launched
satellites into space. American com-
panies Astrobotic and Masten Space
Systems, Japan-based company ispace
and Germany-based PTScientists are
investing in technology to further hu-
man outreach into space.
“It’s about to get crowded up there,”
Tim said.
Currently the Outer Space Treaty,
which was signed in 1967 and provides

the basis for international space law,
holds countries responsible for the
activities of their own citizens in space,
and says they should show “due regard”
for objects left there by others. How-
ever, Michelle said, as a legal concept,
due regard weighs different criteria and
isn’t always specific enough.

“Basically it’s a judgment call,” she
said in an email to The Dispatch. “We
believe our cultural heritage deserves
better protection than that.”
She raised the example of a private
citizen who came into possession of
a bag Armstrong took back from the
moon, which still had regolith, the dust

covering the moon’s surface, on it. After
winning a legal battle with NASA over
whose property the bag was, the citizen
sold it for $1.8 million. That’s the sort of
price these objects could go for.
“The bootprints aren’t protected at
all,” Michelle said. “There’s nothing
anyone can say if somebody runs over
the bootprints or worse, picks up the
dust, the regolith, that the bootprint is
and brings it back to Earth to sell it.
“I’m not suggesting that any com-
mercial company looking at the moon
right now would do that,” she added,
“but the fact is that more and more com-
panies are going to the moon, and more
and more people are going to get there,
and it’s going to get very crowded. And
we really need to protect those boot-
prints because they are an inspiration.”
‘A human achievement’
In the short term, the Hanlons and
the rest of the team at For All Moon-
kind want the international protections
in place. In the long term, Michelle
said, they hope to help invest in tech-
nology that can preserve the sites, such
as a common landing pad on the moon
that will prevent damage to already-ex-
isting sites. Fifty years from now, she
envisions a perimeter around major
landing sites and plaques explaining
their importance.
Fundraising for the organization
goes to fund trips to U.N. meetings and
other conferences, along with market-
ing materials and a children’s book
on outer space that Michelle wants to
distribute to children in developing
countries.
Both Hanlons stressed they hope
further human exploration in space
goes hand-in-hand with international
cooperation, and they want the historic
sites preserved for everyone, not just
Americans.
“Neil Armstrong was American, but
getting Apollo to the moon was a hu-
man achievement,” Michelle said. “And
I think every little girl in Nigeria ought
to embrace it as much as any little girl
here in Mississippi.”

two older sisters and two
older brothers. She could
only get away from her
siblings when she was
in the kitchen making
creole dishes with her
dad, who went to medical
school in New Orleans,
and preparing Sunday
dinner with her mother
every week: a rib roast,
scalloped potatoes and
broccoli casserole.
DeRoode said grits
and oatmeal cookies were
her personal specialties,
but not together.
After graduating from
Lee High School, she
earned a bachelor of fine
arts in design from the
University of Mississip-
pi and then a master’s
degree in painting from
Memphis State Univer-
sity.
DeRoode said she was
a “prolific painter” doing
watercolors, among other
projects, in Memphis,
Tennessee in her 20s.
After moving to Houston
in 1981, she did architec-
tural renderings on the
side while raising her son
and daughter.
A few years later, she
moved to Huntsville and
started a gourmet gift
basket business with
a friend and found her
way back into cooking.
From there, her career
in the kitchen quickly
progressed.
She went straight from
arranging gift baskets to
owning a small bakery
and making chicken
salads. And then she
opened Clementine’s
Restaurant and Catering,
a fine dining restaurant
in Huntsville that stayed
open for 31 years.
And she did the
whole thing all without
a culinary-school educa-
tion. She summed up her
natural talent succinctly:
“God’s gift of creativity.”

Baldwin’s words are particularly apt this week,
as our leaders, for the millionth time, use and

sins against the past and the present.
Before President Donald Trump entered the
fray, the Democrats were engaged in the sort of
tussle that couldn’t help but bring a smile to the
lips of their opponents. Nancy Pelosi was at-
tempting to corral her wayward members — the
so-called “squad” of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.
Pelosi, clearly worried that four extremists were
becoming the face of the Democratic Party, thus
diminishing the likelihood of Democratic success
in 2020, had rapped their knuckles in a closed-

Judge suspended after wrongly trying to help acquaintances

By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi
Supreme Court has suspended a
judge for 30 days without pay after a
professional group found he violat-
ed standards of conduct by improp-
erly helping one person charged
with prostitution and trying to help
another charged with marijuana
possession.
In the ruling Thursday, justices
also publicly reprimanded the
judge, Frank Sutton of Hinds Coun-
ty Justice Court.
Court papers show the Missis-
sippi Commission on Judicial Per-
formance found “clear and convinc-
ing evidence that Judge Sutton’s
conduct constituted misconduct
in violation of the Code of Judicial
Conduct as well as ... the Mississip-
pi Constitution.”
The commission found that Sut-
ton asked an investigator in 2018
to “help him out” because Sutton
knew the family of a woman who
was charged with prostitution. The
investigator refused, and Sutton re-
manded the charge to files, which
means it has not been prosecuted.
Sutton is also pastor of Fairfield
Missionary Baptist Church. The
commission found that in June
2018, he improperly asked a Hinds
County sheriff’s investigator wheth-
er marijuana charge against by a
church member’s son was a misde-
meanor or a felony. It was a felony.
“The record is silent as to what
Judge Sutton did with this infor-
mation,” the Supreme Court ruling
said.
Sutton did not immediately re-
spond Thursday to a message that
The Associated Press left at his of-
fice to seek comment.

Hughes: Hell Tour run a ‘dream’

By DAVID MILLER
Special to The Dispatch

Spencer Hughes was noticeably absent from Mississippi

and Alabama dirt tracks for a couple of weeks, but he was
busy racing, and at a much higher rate than normal.
Hughes, who has competed — and won — in every di-
vision in Mississippi dirt racing, recently fulfilled a career
dream of competing in the Summit Racing Equipment Mod-
ified Nationals, known as the “Hell Tour,” which spans the
months of June and July each year, with racing nearly every
night at different tracks across the Midwest, mostly in Illi-
nois.
Hughes drove the No. 7 Modified car of Bryan Foy, com-
peting in nine races and cracking the top 10 four times. He
won at Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Illinois on
June 29 in a non-tour feature.
Hughes will return to in-state racing this weekend at
Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, where he’ll run
Crate Late Models.
The Hell Tour provided a number of firsts for Hughes:
he’d never followed a touring series and had never raced
north of Talladega. He also became the first Mississippi
driver to win a Modified feature at Fairbury, the track that
left the greatest memory of the nine his team visited.
“What makes it stand out the most is the atmosphere,”
Hughes said. “It’s right in the middle of the town. Neighbors
around the track will let you rent out their front yards for big
events. There are campers everywhere. It’s not really big —
like a bullring style with really close-quarters racing.”
The challenges of racing at Fairbury were reflective of
the challenges Hughes and the Foy team faced each night.
The Southerners hadn’t raced at any of the tracks on the
schedule, and, to further add to the unfamiliarity, the tour
doesn’t have hot laps before qualifying. Modified car specs

settlement
with NCAA ‘(Thompson has) great
BY BEN PORTNOY eyes, one of the top line-
backers in the country.’
bportnoy@cdispatch.com

STARKVILLE — Former Missis-

sippi State football coach Jackie Sher-
rill reached a confidential settlement
with the NCAA Wednesday following
a nearly 16-year legal bout.
Sherrill, who has been fighting the
NCAA’s allegations of major recruit-
ing violations for years, had filed a law-
suit against college sports’ governing
body in 2003.
Rachel and Jim Waide of Oxford
represented Sherrill during this stage
of the process.
Wayne Ferrell previously served
as the former head coach’s longtime
counsel before it became evident he
would be a witness in the case. Ferrell
stepped down roughly a month before
the case went to trial.
“It just lingered over coach Sher-
rill’s head for such a long time,” Jim
Waide told the Dispatch. “He feels like
coaches have been hurt unjustly or
unfairly because of the accusations of
major NCAA infractions.”
The case arose out of a number of
incidents.
Most notably, Rev. Joseph Scott, the
grandfather of former MSU recruit
Joseph “Jo Jo” Scott, reportedly said
Sherrill had offered a car in exchange
for his grandson’s commitment.
Waide said the NCAA previously
had a recording of Scott’s confession
but they could not produce it. A tran-
script of the exchange was used in tri-
al, though Waide said Scott indicated
more than 20 times in the document
that Sherrill had not offered gifts of
any kind.
Also involved in the case was the re-
ported gifting of a car to former MSU
wide receiver Terrell Grindle. Grin-
dle’s mother Rutha testified that the
family had in fact paid for the vehicle
as receipts were shown as evidence.
Former MSU quarterback John
Bond testified to Sherrill’s character
and that he was a staunch proponent
of the rules.
“Coaches were not to violate NCAA
rules or they’d be fired,” Waide said.
Sherrill coached the Bulldogs from
1991-2003 and boasted a 75-75-2 re-
cord in Starkville — including a win in
the 1999 Peach Bowl.
J. Cal Mayo, the NCAA’s lawyer
during the trial, could not be reached
for comment.
Mississippi State football coach Joe Moorhead

Birmingham.
BY BEN PORTNOY

HOOVER, Ala. —
The annual SEC Media
Days came to a close
Thursday afternoon fol-
lowing four days of press
conferences.
Joining the other 13
teams in attendance,
Mississippi State sent a Moorhead
contingent comprised
of coach Joe Moorhead, senior center
Darryl Williams, senior tight end Far-
rod Green and junior linebacker Erroll
Thompson during Wednesday’s ses-
sion.
The quartet discussed everything
from suits and shoes, to play calling
and new offensive roles. Here are a few
of the highlights from MSU’s appear-
ance:
The defensive tides are changing
Plenty has been made of the de-
partures of defensive linemen Mont-
ez Sweat, Jeffery Simmons and Gerri
Green to the NFL. What remains in
Starkville is an older, albeit inexperi-
enced group.
That said, Thompson and running
mate junior Willie Gay Jr. figure to be
major components of the defense this
season at linebacker given the exodus
of talent up front.
Following an 87-tackle campaign in
2018, Thompson was chosen as a cap-
tain for this year’s squad. A Florence,
Alabama native, he explained Wednes-
day he expects the linebackers to be a
bigger part of this year’s defense.
“Montez and Jeff, those are first
round guys — you can’t replace those
guys,” Thompson said. “So, it’ll prob-
ably be a little more strain on us but
we’re up for the task.”
Moorhead was similarly cognizant
of the experience Thompson brings
in the middle as he addressed local re-
porters later in the day.
“Go to PFF and some of those other
things,” Moorhead said. “(Thompson
has) great eyes, one of the top lineback-
ers in the country.”
Same faces, new places along the
offensive line
Like the defensive line, the MSU of-
fensive line replaces a number of NFL
pieces heading into the coming season
Vasha Hunt/USA TODAY Sports
following the losses of Deion Calhoun
and Elgton Jenkins.
Williams has already begun his
move to center in place of Jenkins after
spending most of his career at guard.
Other changes include juniors Stew-
art Reese and Dareuan Parker moving
from right to left guard, while class-
mate Greg Eiland shifted moved from
right tackle to left.
“I think with any great team, the
mentality of championship-level team
is dictated by the offensive and defen-
sive line,” Moorhead said. “I feel very
good about our depth and our talent on
that line.”
Let the quarterback games begin
And so the quarterback conundrum
in Starkville has begun. While the com-
petition is decidedly unsettled between
junior incumbent Keytaon Thompson
and Penn State graduate transfer Tom-
my Stevens, Moorhead extensively ad-
dressed the position for the first time
this offseason Wednesday.
As Commercial Dispatch Sports
Editor Garrick Hodge wrote in his col-
umn Thursday, Moorhead said he’s not

quires a wider tire than what he’s
used to.
“It’s challenging each night,”
Hughes said. “The Saturday at Fair-
bury before we won, we didn’t even
make the race there. We didn’t even
make the race the first two nights
we were up there. It’s extremely
tough going to a different racetrack
every night, tracks that are way
different than anything we’ve got
around here. You’re unloading at a
place you’ve never seen. If you’re
lucky, you’ve watched a video of it
on Facebook before you get there.
The dirt is so much different, too.
And the competition level up there
is great.”
Hughes has been racing Mod-
ifieds for Foy off and on since last
February when he competed at
Volusia Raceway Park in Florida.
Hughes had three feature wins in
a Modified this year before Foy
broached the idea of racing the Hell
Tour.
It was a “no-brainer” decision for
Hughes.
“It’s always been a dream of mine
to go up to the Hell Tour and race,
and one day in my life, I hope I have
the opportunity to do all 30 days
of it,” Hughes said. “I’m very, very
fortunate to have gotten a chance to
try it out.”
Ultimately, the tour experience
yielded valuable notes that were
quickly applied for the next race
and for the future, should Hughes
have another crack at the tour.
“I think it made us better for
around here, too, even though
the tracks are so much different,”
Hughes said. “You can learn as
much as you can in the shops and
prepare as much as you can, but
until you race, that’s about the only
real practice you can get.”
Taylor: Supers on hiatus
When Columbus Speedway pro-
moter Rod Taylor announced via
Facebook the divisions that would
run tonight in weekly racing at
The Bullring, Super Late Models
weren’t listed.
A few drivers asked why the
division, which had been a staple
of weekly shows at the track this
week, weren’t running. Wednesday,
Taylor confirmed that the division
was suspended due to “a little con-
troversy” in a prior race and would
return in August, when the track
will host four features.
Taylor declined to elaborate on
the issue, but in late May, he an-
nounced on Facebook that Wesley
Greene, who won the Super Late
Model feature on May 24, violated
the tire rule. Taylor posted photos
from different points of the night
that showed two different brands
of tire on Greene’s car — Colum-
bus requires American Racer tires.
Greene was allowed to keep the win
and was not fined.
Greene, on the Facebook post,
questioned the photos, noting, “I
was on Hoosier during the feature
race? And an American racer in vic-
tory lane? That’s no way possible …
victory lane was on the track.”
“I’m trying to work through that
thing so the race track doesn’t go
through that again,” Taylor said
Wednesday.
Racing in all other divisions be-
gins at 8 p.m. Friday.

putting an exact date on when he
will choose a starter — though he
mentioned it would be ideal to do
so at least 10 days ahead of MSU’s
season opener against Louisiana
Aug. 31.
Also of note during his com-
ments was how he referenced the
competition. Though Keytaon was
the No. 1 coming out of spring ball,
Moorhead said the battle for the job
spot is up for grabs and that both
players have an equal shot.
“We’ll go put a good plan togeth-
er, they’ll get a good amount of reps
with the No. 1s and with the 2s and
we’ll see where it goes from there,”
he said.

Karam, who had only

linked up with Carlin for

the team decided to give it
another go on Iowa’s short

Karam’s best track.
Karam won four times

“It’s been a long wait,”
Karam said. “If I’m look-

FOOTBALL: SEC MEDIA DAYS
SEC experiencing rare moment
with coaching stability
The Associated Press
HOOVER, Ala. — The Southeastern
Conference pays big money to its coach-
es and that’s one reason patience is often
in short supply when things go wrong.
But in a rare quirk, there were no new
head coaches at the podium during SEC
media days for the first time since 2006.
Fans should embrace the stability
while they can, because if history is any
indication it won’t last long.
Auburn’s Gus Malzahn and Vander-
bilt’s Derek Mason are among several
coaches under varying amounts of pres-
sure to show improvement. Malzahn,
Mason and Kentucky’s Mark Stoops all
took the podium during the final session
of SEC media days on Thursday.
If Malzahn is feeling any heat, he isn’t
showing it.
“I’ve got a job that expects to win
championships, and I knew that when
I took this job,” Malzahn said Thurs-
day. “I love the fact that that’s part of
the job description here. And the years
you don’t win championships, you hear
stuff like this. I’ve been a head coach six
years, and four of those years you hear,
hot seat this, hot seat that.
“That’s just part of this job.”
Malzahn’s enters his seventh year at
Kentucky coach Stoops gets Florida
question — again
HOOVER, Ala. — Kentucky ended
its 31-game losing streak against Florida
last year. Now, coach Mark Stoops was
asked a tongue-in-cheek question about
whether the Wildcats were ready to start
a winning streak against the Gators.
The coach drew some laughs Thurs-
day at Southeastern Conference media
days after he groaned and said, “Oh,

Arlington, Texas, on Aug. 31.
Mason’s in his sixth year with the
Commodores and hasn’t had a winning
season, though he’s finished 6-7 twice,
including last year. Mason has a 24-38
record at Vanderbilt, but won three SEC
games last season.
He expects that positive momentum
to continue. Mason believes he has plen-
ty of “swagger,” but that at its core, Van-
derbilt requires a blue-collar approach.
“I also know and understand that
a place like Vanderbilt is special, and
you’ve got to be a grassroots guy,” Ma-
son said. “We’ve been growing this thing
organically. It’s taking some time.”
The churn of coaching hires and fires
is often cyclical, but SEC Commissioner
Greg Sankey believes programs realize
that coaches must have a little time to
build a program.
One recent example is Stoops, who
had some mediocre years before break-
ing through with a 10-win season in
2018. It was the most wins for the Wild-
cats in 41 years.
“Patience as a virtue is real and con-
tinuity is an asset, particularly when
there’s progression, even if it’s incre-
mental,” Sankey said. “Over time, in my
experience, that’s how programs really
improve.”
just about everyone in the division has
high expectations.
Stoops said: “It’s no surprise that the
East is improving. But we all know so is
the West. So you’re just trying to con-
stantly do your part. I can’t be affected
(with) what’s going on with the rest of
the league, you know. We’ve really got
to focus on Kentucky.”

Strasburg hits and pitches Nationals to win over Braves

Nationals 13, Braves 4
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Washington Nation-
als manager Dave Martinez may have
found a new pinch-hitter in his team’s
latest win.
Stephen Strasburg showed he can
shine in the batter’s box as well as on
the mound.
Strasburg had a three-run homer
among his three hits and set a fran-
chise-record for a pitcher with five
RBIs, as the surging Nationals beat the
Atlanta Braves 13-4 on Thursday night.
Strasburg’s hitting made up for a so-
so night on the mound, as he allowed
three runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 in-
nings.
“Stephen wasn’t as sharp as he could
be but man he swung the bat really
well,” Martinez said. “He might be a
pinch-hitter coming up here for the rest
of these games.”
Strasburg, who won the Silver Slug-
ger Award in 2012, said he may have
been a little lucky at the plate.
“It’s just how crazy this game is,”
Strasburg said. “Sometimes you just
run into the ball.”
Strasburg is the first Nationals pitch-
er to drive in five runs in a game and
have two hits in one inning.
His homer was the highlight of an
eight-run third inning that also includ-
ed a two-run double by Victor Robles,
an RBI triple by Adam Eaton and a
run-scoring double by Anthony Rendon.
The Nationals, who have won 14 of
their last 18 games, cut Atlanta’s lead to
5 1/2 games in the NL East by winning
the opener of a four-game series. The
Braves have lost three straight.
Strasburg (12-4) improved to 3-0
against Atlanta this season by winning
his fifth straight start. His effort on the
mound was overshadowed by his career
highs in hits and RBIs.
Strasburg led off the third with
a single to center. After the Nation-
als knocked rookie right-hander Kyle
Wright (0-3) out of the game in the long
inning, Strasburg hit Touki Toussaint’s
second pitch 420 feet over the Washing-
ton bullpen behind the left-field wall for
an 8-1 lead.
Strasburg’s big night at the plate con-
tinued when he hit a two-run single off
Toussaint in the fifth.
All the time spent running the bases,
including scoring from first on Eaton’s
triple, may have drained Strasburg. He
was pulled in the sixth after giving up
a run-scoring triple to Ozzie Albies and
Brian McCann’s RBI single.
Nick Markakis hit a line-drive homer
off right-hander Kyle McGowin in the
eighth. The opposite-field shot barely
cleared the left-field wall.
Wright allowed seven runs and seven
hits with three walks — all in the third
inning — in 2 2/3 innings. Wright was
recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett before
the game.
“I just kind of beat myself a little bit,”
Wright said. “I think it was lack of feel
with the fastball.”
Rendon had three hits, including two
doubles, and a walk.

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
My son just
got a job
in Europe and
has invited me
to visit when he
and his family
are settled.
I have never
traveled out of
the country, and
I’m excited to
ZITS go. I suggested
staying at least
a month, and
he and his wife
agreed.
When I told
Dear Abby
my sister, she
excitedly told me she’d like
to come along. We would be
very happy to have this time
together because she lives
across the country, and we
don’t see each other often.
We are in good health, but
her husband has many health
GARFIELD issues. He falls a lot and has
had concussions while using
his walker. He coughs almost
constantly, uses CPAP at
night, takes multiple medica-
tions throughout the day and
needs to stop often to rest
and catch his breath. He also
needs frequent naps.
We are all around 70, and
Sis and I want to go while we
are still in good health. She
has not told Hubby about
the monthlong trip to Europe
because she knows he will

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
19). It was a longshot and you
took it anyway. You’ll be glad
you did, as the solar return
rewards gambling on your own
ambition. You’re almost too
attractive at the wind down
of 2019 and there’s security
in this. You may go more unapol-
ogetically into who you are and
find exciting liberation there!
Sagittarius and Capricorn adore
BABY BLUES you. Your lucky numbers are:
10, 4, 38, 17 and 15.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Your past experience will help
you as long as you understand
that every case is new and to-
day’s is not exactly like anything
you’ve seen. Try not to let what
you know blind you to what you

want to come.
He would not be
alone at home.
Their two adult
children and four
grandchildren
live in their large
home and can
assist him with
food, doctor ap-
pointments, etc.
We also have
a brother who
takes him out
once a week.
I’m thinking
the best way of
letting him know
the trip is out for
him would be to have his doc-
tor explain why it’s not advis-
able. Any other suggestions
would be most appreciated.
— EUROPE-BOUND
DEAR EUROPE-BOUND: If
your sister truly plans to take
a monthlong trip to Europe
while her husband has one
foot on a banana peel, then
SHE should be the one to
break the news to him. If she
needs backup, I’m sure the
doctor can explain to him why
it would be too risky for him
to tag along.
My questions would be,
how do your son and his wife
feel about you bringing along
an extra guest (guests?) for
a month, and if something
terrible should happen to
your sister’s husband in her
don’t.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
It’s one thing to control the luck
you’ve been given, but it’s quite
another spiritual skill level to
manage the luck you haven’t
even been granted yet. Practice
the latter to ready yourself for
what’s to come.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
As you observe the reactions
and take in the opinions of
others, you’ll start to suspect
that you’re doing things the hard
way. Ask for shortcuts and they
will be illuminated.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You know when you’re on
track. Though it’s much easier
to sense when you’re off, as
the road gets mighty bumpy
absence, could she live with
the guilt?
DEAR ABBY: Years ago,
when I was trying to get into
a professional school, I took
some classes to prepare for
the entrance exam. It cost
my dad money to put me
through the training. A few of
my classmates/friends asked
me to share the training
material with them. Because
it was expensive and I was
preparing for a competitive
exam, which they were also
taking, I refused.
Long story short, none
of us passed the exam. We
moved on and have all be-
come successful in life, but
that incident haunts me all
these years (decades) later. I
was living outside of the U.S.
for a long time, so I didn’t try
to get in touch with them or
discuss why I behaved the
way I did. I am likely to meet
them in the near future, and
I don’t know how to handle
this if it comes up. What do
you think I should do? —
REMEMBERING THE EARLY
DAYS
DEAR REMEMBERING: It
is entirely possible that these
individuals will not remember
the incident. If they raise
the subject, apologize and
explain to them the reasons
you were reluctant to share
the material. If they don’t
mention it, then let it lie.
and your productivity slows, if
it doesn’t grind to a halt. Don’t
wait for all that drama. Make
adjustments now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
When someone says, “I’ll try,” it
typically points to a low commit-
ment level. If you feel yourself
hedging toward this response,
consider what would need to
happen for you to actually dig in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
People who claim to be seeking
the truth may actually be fishing
around for an ego boost, which
is too bad because compli-
ments, validation and other
sorts of emotional charges are
a poor substitute for what truth
can do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Who needs your compassion?
Everyone. The righteous and
the sinners, the desperate and
the confident, the joyful and the
depressed, and all in between.
You need it, too. When in doubt,
choose tenderness.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). To sum it up, don’t sum it
up. To describe people in a few
words would be reductive. To
condense the deal down to the
bottom-line dollar amount would
cheapen it. Be comfortable,
for the moment, with the vast
undefined.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Right now, it may not seem
like the real-life version is living
up to your standards, but don’t
be so quick to judge. There are
needs being fulfilled of which
you aren’t quite aware.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Self-control and self-denial
are not the same thing. You’ll
have greater control when you
don’t deny yourself so much as
steer yourself in the direction of
a substitution.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). When you put the time and
energy into learning a thing, you
want to get a return on that in-
vestment. And if the thing you’re
learning is another person, the
return will be a very satisfying
feeling of deep connection.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Wanting to be anywhere
other than where you are makes
things difficult. But the minute
you decide that where you are
is the ideal place (regardless
of what’s going on there), the
difficulties dissipate.

Do you come here often
