The Associated Press
JACKSON — The three Republi-
can candidates for Mississippi gov-
ernor have agreed to a televised de-
bate two weeks before the primary.
WJTV-TV in Jackson reports
that it will host and air the debate
that begins at 7 p.m. July 23. Missis-
sippi’s party primaries are Aug. 6.
Spokesmen for state Rep. Robert
Foster, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and
former Mississippi Supreme Court

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama could soon
end its status as one of two U.S. states without an
equal pay for equal work law.
The Alabama Senate on Wednesday voted 29-0
to approve such a measure, sponsored by Rep.
Adline Clarke of Mobile. The bill now returns
to the Alabama House of Representatives where
lawmakers will decide whether to accept a Senate
change to the bill.
The bill would prohibit businesses from pay-
ing workers less than employees of another race
or sex for the same work unless there are reasons
such as seniority, a merit system or productivity to

Poultry processor Sanderson Farms raising wages
Laurel-based company has about
15K workers in Mississippi, Georgia,
Louisiana, North Carolina and Texas
The Associated Press
LAUREL — The
third-largest poultry pro-
cessing company in the
U.S. says it’s increasing
hourly wages to better re-
cruit and retain workers.
Mississippi-based
Sanderson Farms Inc. an-
nounced Tuesday that its
new pay scale starts June 2.
A company news re-
lease said that once the
plan is fully set, hourly
line operators who have
worked for the company
at least 90 days will earn
at least $15 an hour. That
is an increase of $1.95 an
hour over the current base
pay.
The company’s truck
drivers will earn $20.35
to $22.90 an hour. Hourly
maintenance employees
will earn $19.95 to $27.45.
Those are increases of
$1.10 an hour.
Lampkin Butts, pres-
ident and chief operat-
ing officer of Sanderson
Farms, said in the news
release that the company
tries to hire the best em-
ployees available.
“We recognize that if
we are to continue com-
peting for and retaining
these exceptional people,
our compensation pack-
age must also be among
the best available,” Butts
said.
Sanderson Farms is
based in Laurel, Mis-
sissippi, and has about
15,000 workers in Missis-
sippi, Georgia, Louisiana,
North Carolina and Texas.
About 13,000 earn hourly
wages.
An annual report says
the company processed
about 606 million chick-
ens during the budget
year that ended in Octo-
ber. That is about 4.5 bil-
lion dressed pounds.
account for the difference.
“This says to Alabama workers that we care
about them and we want them to have the protec-
tion that they need to resolve pay discrimination
cases if and when they exist,” Clarke said.
Clarke said she hoped to get final passage on
Thursday, which could be the final day of the ses-
sion.
Alabama and Mississippi are the two states
without pay equity laws.
While there is a federal law prohibiting pay dis-
crimination, the Mobile lawmaker said states play
a vital role in enforcement.
A state law would give a worker the ability to
file a civil lawsuit in state court if they believed
they had been the victim of pay discrimination.
A person would have two years from the time of
discrimination to file a civil lawsuit in state court,
according to the bill.
Clarke has worked on the legislation since 2016.
Democrats had threatened to slow down the
pace of debate on Wednesday if the bill did not get
a Senate floor vote.
Sen. David Burkette, a Democrat from Mont-
gomery, told senators he was prepared to “be here

Mississippi aims to ease long
lines for driver’s licenses
The Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi Department of
Public Safety is starting a program aimed at de-
creasing long lines at driver’s license bureaus.
Students 15 and older can schedule appoint-
ments for mornings of the second or fourth Sat-
urdays of June, July or August to take written and
road tests for a learner’s permit or driver’s license.
This will be available at bureaus in Batesville,
Biloxi, Greenville, Hattiesburg Meridian, New Al-
bany, Pearl, Starkville and Summit.
The director of the driver service bureau, Maj.
Ken Brown, says in a news release that the change
is designed to help parents who might otherwise
leave work to help teenagers get licensed.

Pritchett

to outsider observers.
“It’s been difficult,” Ar-
nett said. “For 70 years,
this was a private club.
Getting the word out to
the public that we were
open to them was hard
at first. It was a little dif-
ferent blend than people
were used to seeing, so
that was a challenge.”
For Arnett, reaching
people unfamiliar with
today’s Lion Hills is still a
top priority. That mission
is reflected in the hiring
of a new golf pro — Tripp
Pritchett.
Pritchett, 30, comes to
Lions Hills after five years
as golf pro at Highland
Park Golf Course in Bir-
mingham, Alabama.
When the golf pro posi-
tion opened at Lion Hills,
Arnett knew Pritchett was
just what he was looking
for.
“Tripp and I had
worked together at
Starkville County Club
when he was an intern for
the golf pro there,” Arnett
said. “I knew from that re-
lationship that he was an
extremely hard worker.
He was also a Class A PGA
professional.
“When I talk to Scott
Buntin (SCC’s general
manager), he indicated
to me that Tripp was the
most talented guy he had
ever had in dealing with
members,” he added.
“That was the final selling
point for me.”
As golf pro, Pritchett
is in charge of daily golf
operations, with a heavy
emphasis on building
relationships with play-
ers, both members and
non-members alike.
A 2015 graduate of Mis-
sissippi State’s Golf Pro
Management program,
Pritchett said the job at
Lion Hills was appealing
not only because it brings
him back to the area, but
because of the emphasis
the club is putting on the
playing experience.
“As golf pro, there are a
lot of duties that go along
with the job,” Pritchett
said. “But the biggest part
of the job, the one that
matters the most, is mak-
ing sure customers feel
at home here and have a
great experience.”
Arnett has been at Lion
Hills for almost three
years, but his history with
the old Columbus Coun-
try Club goes back to his
childhood, when he used
to play with his grandfa-
ther, who was a member.
“It’s much different
than it was back then,”
Arnett said. “Back then,
there were a lot of families
that were members and it
was a real focal point of so-
cial life — not only the golf
course, but the pool and
the dining facilities.
“But it’s different in Co-
lumbus today,” he added.
“It’s a different market and
we have to position our-
selves to be successful,
not only on the golf side,
but from our role as an ed-
ucational facility, too.”
Arnett noted that Lion
Hills is very much a teach-
ing facility for a host of
EMCC programs — golf
course management, turf
management, culinary
arts and hotel/motel man-
agement.
“Much of the work you
see out here is done by stu-

job in a real setting, and
that’s invaluable experi-
ence.”
Arnett said he had res-
ervations about the job
when he first arrived.
“I was concerned about
whether EMCC was going
to make the financial com-
mitment I felt we needed
on the golf course side,”
he said. “But to their cred-
it, they’ve made that com-
mitment. We’ve replaced
the greens with best Ber-
muda greens you’ll find
anywhere. The golf course
is really in good shape.
We’ve added (45) new
electric golf carts, too. It’s
really coming along.”
Although Lion Hills is
very much a hybrid oper-
ation, Pritchett feels com-
fortable in the new job.
“In a lot of ways, it’s
like where I was in Bir-
mingham,” Pritchett said.
“There, we had members
and public play, too. So
this is a situation I think
I understand. It’s a good
fit.”

MISSISSIPPI VOICES

Celebrating entrepreneurship with Lemonade Day

Lemonade Day
2019 is coming
to the Golden
Triangle. It’s a
celebration that
helps today’s youth
become tomorrow’s
entrepreneurs.
For generations,
a summer tradition
for boys and girls
has been to make
lemonade, set up Brett Kittredge
a stand in front of
their house or near
a busy road, and earn money
for that special toy they have
been wanting, or maybe just
to save for a future purchase.
For a moment in time, children the letter four months after
turn into entrepreneurs, even
though they probably couldn’t
tell you what the word means.
But lemonade stand en-
trepreneurs have met a force
that strikes fear in the hearts
of even the most seasoned
professionals: the government
regulator.
By now you have probably
heard the stories, but they bear Denver police for operating
repeating because of the sheer
lunacy of feeling the need to
shut down a lemon-
ade stand, and be-
cause they highlight
the overcriminaliza-
tion of our society
thanks to laws we
have adopted to
fix every supposed
issue or problem.
In California,
the family a 5-year-
old girl received
a letter from their
city’s Finance
Department saying
that she needed a business
license for her lemonade stand
after a neighbor complained
to the city. The girl received
the sale, after she had already
purchased a new bike with her
lemonade stand money. The
young girl wanted the bike to
ride around her new neighbor-
hood as her family had just
moved.
In Colorado, three young
boys, ages two to six, had their
lemonade stand shut down by
without a proper permit. The
boys were selling lemonade
in hopes of raising money for
Compassion International, an
international child-advocacy
ministry. But local vendors
at a nearby festival didn’t like
the competition and called the
police to complain. When word
of this interaction made news,
the local Chick-Fil-A stepped
up as you would expect from
Chick-Fil-A. They allowed the
boys to sell lemonade inside
their restaurant, plus they
donated 10 percent of their own
lemonade profits that day to
Compassion International.
In New York, the state
Health Department shut down
a lemonade stand run by a
seven-year-old after vendors
from a nearby county fair
complained. Once again, they
were threatened by a little boy
undercutting their profits.
In response to these stories,
the states of Utah and Texas
have passed laws that allow
children to operate occasional
businesses, such as a lemon-
ade stand, without a permit
or license. Every other state,
including Mississippi, should
follow suit whether they have
made the news or not.
As parents and as a society,
we should be encouraging
entrepreneurship. We should
celebrate young boys and girls
who want to make money,
whether it’s for a new bike or to
give to a ministry. When chil-
dren have the right heart and
the right ideas and are willing
to take actions, we shouldn’t
discourage it. The lessons are
valuable. They learn that mon-
ey comes from work, that you
have to plan, and then produce
a stand, signs, and lemonade.
Introducing kids to the con-
cepts of marketing, costs, cus-
tomer service, and the profit
motive is a good thing.
And why it has always been
celebrated in our society for a
long time.
Until today. But I suppose
these interactions also provide
these young children with an-
other valuable but unfortunate
lesson: beware of government
and crony capitalism. Vendors
who don’t like competition use
the law to eliminate competi-
tion. And government, how-
ever good the intentions may
have been, created the laws
that actually work against the
development of entrepreneurial
values by regulating lemonade
stands.
As often happens when
government steps in to solve a
problem, there are unintended
consequences few are willing
to acknowledge.
Hopefully, the absurdity of
these stories has raised more
than a few eyebrows. Perhaps
they will cause people to
recognize the downside of our
regulatory burden and may-
be even cause legislators to
review more than a few of the
laws, rules, and licensing re-
gimes that are stifling growth,
innovation, and capitalism. If
we want a thriving and grow-
ing economy, we’ve got to have
more entrepreneurs — includ-
ing those future ones who sell
lemonade in their neighbor-
hoods today.

cations for Mississippi Center

tank.

Democrats 2020: The Grievance Party
Describing
the Democratic
Party as one
built on “iden-
tity politics”
used to be a
pejorative. But
Georgia’s failed
2018 Democrat-
ic gubernatorial
candidate, Sta-
cey Abrams, re-
cently defended Larry Elder
this description
of her party.
“I would argue that identity politics is
exactly who we are,” said Abrams, “and
it’s exactly how we won. ... When we
refuse to engage in the conversation
of identity politics, when we refuse to
acknowledge that we see you and we
understand you and we understand the
barriers that you face, then what we are
met with is a lack of trust.”
Fellow Democrat and presidential
candidate Pete Buttigieg apparently
failed to get the memo. A week before
Abrams embraced and even expressed
pride in Democrats’ identity politics,
Buttigieg was blasting President
Donald Trump for his “racist” use of
it. Trump, said Buttigieg, engages in
“peak white identity politics” that cre-
ates a “crisis of belonging” in America
“designed to drive apart people with
common interests.” Buttigieg added,
“When you do not belong, it doesn’t just
put you in a bad mood; it puts you in a
different country.”
By “identity” politics, Democrats
really mean grievances. The party
leaders push the narrative that blacks,
Hispanics, gays, etc. are victims,
whether due “inequality” or “sexism”
or “racism” or “otherism.”
Take 2020 Democratic presidential
contender Sen. Kamala Harris, who
announced plans to end the alleged
grievance of “unequal pay.” Harris
claims women working full time make
80 cents on the dollar for doing the same
work as men. She insists it’s worse for
minorities: Black women are only paid
61 cents on the dollar, Hispanic women
53 cents. Never mind that the Labor
Department long ago debunked this
myth.
In 2009, the Labor Department,
after controlling for education, job dif-
ferences, number of hours worked and
other factors, found that the wage gap
between genders shrank to 5 percent:
“A greater percentage of women than
men tend to work part-time. Part-time
work tends to pay less than full-time
work. A greater percentage of women
than men tend to leave the labor force
for childbirth, childcare and elder care.
Some of the wage gap is explained by
the percentage of women who were
not in the labor force during previous
years, the age of women, and the num-
ber of children in the home. Women,
especially working mothers, tend
to value ‘family friendly’ workplace
policies more than men. Some of the
wage gap is explained by industry and
occupation, particularly, the percent-
age of women who work in the industry
and occupation.” As to the remaining 5
percent difference, the report said even
that could be explained by reasons
other than sexism.
Harris’ proposed “equal pay” law
mandates that companies obtain feder-
al certification to demonstrate women
are not being underpaid. Failure to
certify could cost billions in fines.
Companies also incur fines of 1 per-
cent of average daily profits for each 1
percent “gap” between the pay of male
and female employees who perform the
same job.
Harris might like to start with her
own Senate office. Her average male
Senate staff salary was 6 cents more on
the dollar compared to that of a female
staffer, the Washington Free Beacon
found. Men earned more on the dollar
compared to women during the first
full month on Harris’ presidential cam-
paign. But this is par for the course.
President Barack Obama repeatedly
railed against the alleged “pay gap”
between men and women. Never mind
that during his 2008 presidential
campaign, Obama paid his non-intern
male Senate staffers more than he paid
female staffers, $54,397 to $45,152,
respectively. In the White House, Pres-
ident Obama continued his “sexist” tra-
dition, paying male staffers more than
female staffers, $71,000 to $60,000,
respectively, according to a 2011 annual
report. Sen. Hillary Clinton, from 2002
to 2008, also paid male staffers more
than female staffers -- $15,708.38 more,
with females getting 72 cents on the
dollar compared to men, according to
Senate expenditure reports.
Socialist Democratic presidential
contender Bernie Sanders peddles an-
other grievance: If some get paid a lot,
why can’t others get paid more? “If we
are a nation that can provide contracts
to baseball players for hundreds of
millions of dollars,” said Sanders, “don’t
tell me we cannot pay teachers in this
country the kind of wages and salaries
they deserve.”
Sanders might be on to something.
He implicitly suggests that under a
privatized educational system, teach-
ers would be compensated at the level
of their expertise, as defined by the
free market. Under such a private
system, schools could bid for “top draft
picks,” the best students coming out
of education colleges. Put the Annual
Teacher Draft on cable TV. The best
sign lucrative contracts, renewed based
upon performance, with pay adjusted
up or down accordingly. No tenure, no
requirement of an act of God to fire
someone for incompetence. Grievance
solved.
Sanders for secretary of the Depart-
ment of Education!

A map shows the more than 60 lemonade stands that are planned to be set up across the Golden Triangle for
Lemonade Day on Saturday. Lemonade Day, after a successful inaugural event in Starkville last year, is being
held across the region.

Lemonade Day
Continued from Page 1A
“I have been making
the lemonade stand most-
ly and getting the lemon-
ade ready and the cookies
ready,” Brooke said. “My
momma taught me how to
make them.”
Brooke is one of more
than 220 children partic-
ipating in the Golden Tri-
angle Lemonade Day. Or-
ganizer Jeffery Rupp, the
director for outreach with
Mississippi State Univer-
sity’s Center for Entrepre-
neurship and Outreach,
said 300 children may be
involved by the time sign
up ends Saturday. The
goal behind the program
is to teach children —
from preschool to eighth
grade — financial literacy
and understanding at a
young age, he added.
Participants signed up
online and received a free
workbook which walked
them through the basics
of creating a business and
marketing plan while also
teaching financial respon-
sibility. The students who
signed up to participate
could receive feedback
from local business own-
ers or volunteer mentors
on their business and mar-
keting plans. Some chil-
dren even signed up for
micro-loans of up to $50
from Cadence Bank —
and every single one who
did paid back the money
last year, Rupp said.
“Planning and running
a lemonade stand teaches
kids important business
and financial literacy
skills,” said Doug Robert-
son, Columbus president
for Cadence Bank, in
Rupp Bigelow
an emailed statement.
“Thinking responsibly
about spending and sav-
ing at an early age sets the
stage for success. By ap-
plying skills like budget-
ing, calculating net profit
and repaying debt, partic-
ipants can put real-world
math skills into action. We
are excited to serve as a
Lemonade Day sponsor
and to empower entrepre-
neurship among tomor-
row’s business leaders.”
Brooke totaled about
$125 last year at her stand
and hopes to make more
on Saturday. She said she
did not take out a loan this
year since she had mon-
ey saved from last year’s
sales. She said she would
spend some money shop-
ping for clothes, but will
donate a portion of her
sales to the Red Cross.
Rupp said with last
year’s success, he’s hop-
ing for a larger turnout
by adding Columbus and
West Point.
“We didn’t know what
to expect last year be-
cause it was new,” Rupp
said. “It rained on the day
we had it, and we still had
60-something stands. It
did not dampen the en-
thusiasm. We were really
surprised with the num-
ber of kids and the public
support. None of it works
without the public support
and it’s an easy thing to
get behind. All you have to
do is go out and buy some
lemonade.”
Columbus Main Street
Director Barbara Bige-
low said with stands set
up in front of businesses,
on Main Street and all
throughout the Golden
Triangle, Lemonade Day
offers a great chance for
people to get out in the
community and support
children.
“It’s a wonderful op-
portunity for young kids
with an entrepreneurial
spirit to learn the basics
of business,” Bigelow said.
“They learn about busi-
ness plans, how to handle
money, they understand
the importance of paying
bills and they learn to give
back to the community.
... They are very excited
about it. I would encour-
age everyone to visit as
many kids as they can,
sample some lemonade
and let them know how
good it is. After all, they
are our future leaders.”
For some, business
plans start early. Eva-
lyn Smith, 3, who will be
starting preschool this
year, will work a lemonade
stand outside The Com-
mercial Dispatch. Evalyn’s
mother, Aysia, says she
hopes Evalyn learns the
value of hard work.
“Her dad was the one
who brought up the idea,
and I thought it would be
a good way to get out into
the community,” Aysia
said. “She’s really friendly.
She’s not quite old enough
to understand the value
of a dollar, but it is a good
way for her to see that she
can make money by doing
something simple.”
Last year, Ka’Nia
Lucious, 9, set up shop
on Main Street near
Starkville Cafe, totaling
about $100. This year, she
hopes to make more mon-
ey so she can help make
a difference. Angelica
Vaughn, Lucious’ mother,
said she taught her daugh-
ter to donate 10 percent of
sales to her church, save
some and spend some.
“I saved money for (St.
Jude Children’s Hospital
in Memphis, Tennessee)
last year,” Lucious said.
“This year I’m going to
give some to St. Jude and
put some in the bank for
college. I’m mostly excited
about people just coming
and asking for lemonade
and see my smiling face.”
Giving back to the com-
munity, Rupp said, is a
part of the National Lem-
onade Day mission.
“We ask that kids spend
some because they earned
it, save some because
that’s what you should do
and share some because
you should also always
give back to the communi-
ty,” Rupp said.
To sign up for Lemon-
ade Day, go to www.lem-
onadeday.org/golden-tri-
angle.
Rupp said lemonade
stands hours and locations
may vary. Go to https://

en-triangle/stands-map to

being recognized with the
placement of a Mississippi
Blues Trail Marker in his
honor.
The marker unveiled
Tuesday honors Ferris,
winner of two Grammy
Awards for his documenta-
tion of blues and other folk
legend. It was approved
in March by the Missis-
sippi Blues Commission.
The Vicksburg Post re-
ports it’s the 205th marker
along the trail and sixth in
Vicksburg.
Ferris, a professor of
history at UNC-Chapel
Hill, recently received two
Grammys for “Voices of
Mississippi: Artists and
Musicians Documented
by William Ferris” for
Best Historical Album
and Best Album Notes.
The 120-page book covers
three decades of Ferris’s
work and, as a result, he
said, connects the other-
wise disparate voices of
musicians, artists and sto-
rytellers he’s worked with
over the years.

Bill Buckner Super Late Model features
MSU fans should avoid blame
game it leveled against Liebelt

T
his weekend, Mis-
sissippi State hosts
an NCAA baseball
regional, welcoming teams
from Southern Universi-
ty, Central Michigan and
Miami to its spectacular
ballpark, Dudy Noble Field.
During the course of the Slim Smith
double-elimination tour-
nament that could stretch
into Monday evening, there will be dozens of
names that will leap into prominence.
But before the first pitch is thrown, it’s
another name that fans should keep in the
back of their minds, just in case the weekend
doesn’t play out as expected: Bill Buckner.
Even the casual baseball fan knows the
name. And all who know it, know why they
remember it.
Buckner died Sunday at age 69, and in
many respects, he is now in death what he
was since late in the evening of Oct. 25,
1986 — a tragic, misunderstood and badly
maligned figure in baseball lore.
During his 22-year major-league career,
Bill Buckner earned the reputation as a
tough, reliable player. He amassed more
than 2,700 hits and won the 1980 National
League batting title. David Miller/Special to The Dispatch
A player’s defensive stats are rarely Hudson O’Neal (71) holds off Jimmy Owens (20) and Bobby Pierce in the 2018 Clash at The MAG. This year’s

obvious reasons. In 16,651 chances, Buckner

Magnolia Motor Speedway’s

had a .991 fielding percentage, with just 149
errors.
But just as one pitch defined Ralph Bran-
ca and one base-running blunder defined
Fred Merkle, one error defined Buckner.
Obituaries in the Boston Globe, Boston
Herald and New York Times all mentioned
the error in the 10th inning of Game 6 of the
1986 World Series.
As errors go, it was a doozy — a slow
roller that went right through Buckner’s legs
at first base, the kind of play that is consid-
ered a routine play for even a Little Leaguer.
To the horror of the boisterous home crowd
in Boston, the error allowed the Mets’ Ray
Knight to score the game-winning run and
tie the series. Two days later, the Mets beat
the Red Sox, further prolonging what was
then a 68-year world championship drought.
Instantly, Buckner’s name was the most
reviled in New England. It took years for the
hard feelings to subside. In 1990, the Red
Sox “forgave” Buckner in a special ceremony
before a game.
Buckner was haunted by that single
miserable moment for years, but eventually
found peace with his inglorious contribution
to baseball lore. In 2011, Buckner made an
appearance on the sitcom “Curb Your En-
thusiasm.” In it, Buckner catches a baby that
has been tossed from an apartment window
during a fire. Comic redemption.
But the fact remains: Baseball fans did a
tremendous disservice to a fine man, a won-
derful player and a great teammate.
That he should be remembered for one
play out of tens of thousands and that he
alone should bear the blame for the outcome
of that game is unfair. There were at least a
half-dozen plays in the game that could have
altered the outcome. Buckner’s was merely
the last and most surprising.
What does this have to do with what’s

headline event begins tonight
By DAVID MILLER
Special to The Dispatch
The 2018 Clash at The MAG had a storybook ending
and a late-race pass that any track promoter would hope
for when hosting a big-money televised race.
Then, a 17-year-old Hudson O’Neal, son of former
Lucas Oil champion Don O’Neal, passed reigning se-
ries champion Josh Richards with seven laps to go and
claimed his first career feature win. He and his father
embraced in victory lane afterwards.
It was a great moment for Magnolia Motor Speed-
way’s headline event, an annual stop for the Lucas Oil
series, arguably the top Super Late Model touring se-
ries in the country.
However, only 26 cars entered the 100-lap main event
at the two-day show, which included a third day for test-
ing. Super Late Models had prelims on Friday and the
feature on Saturday.
Beginning tonight, the Clash will feature three paid
features for Super Late Models, among other divisions.
Super Late Models drivers will compete in $5,000-to-
win races tonight and Friday, and in a $15,000-to-win
feature on Sunday. In previous years, the Clash at The
Mag included one Super Late Model feature with a win-
ner’s purse of up to $20,000.
“Drivers like to get paid the whole time they’re here,”
said Johnny Stokes, Magnolia owner. “So we decided to
try something.”
The decision wasn’t easy for Stokes. He said took
more than a month debating the format and how to re-
vamp it, ultimately deciding the extra $50,000 he would
spend on the front end was worth the risk. He also refer-
enced successful three-day features at Lucas Oil Speed-
way in Missouri and at Florence Speedway in Union,
Kentucky.
“I saw it coming,” Stokes said. “But we hope it pays
off.”
Stokes said he typically doesn’t focus on attendance
benchmarks when promoting a race, particularly for
“big races,” which usually “take care of themselves.”
Adding a third-day to the Clash was a “gut feeling,” he
said.
“I’m hoping that, by making it bigger, it’s really going
to take care of itself,” Stokes said.
As a bonus, all three feature nights will be televised
later this year on MavTV, which runs roughly 10 rac-
es each year. Though Stokes isn’t compensated for the
coverage, it helps add to the track’s reputation as one of
the best facilities in the country. Drivers routinely laud
the facility for its race surface and amenities, and its
Facebook reviews typically focus on its family-friendly
atmosphere and efficiency.
“When I got with Lucas Oil in Columbus (Speedway)
in 2006, they offered me a TV show, and we’ve been
with them since then,” Stokes said. “Everyone wants a
TV show, but they just can’t do it; it costs a lot of money
to do that production stuff. Matter of fact, (MavTV) just
rolled in (Tuesday night).”
Some of the added financial burden is relieved by a
late sponsorship agreement with Big River Steel, which
sponsors Dunn-Benson Ford Motorsports in Arkansas.
Big River Steel was seeking to buy pit spots along the
back straightaway for its employees based in East Mis-
sissippi, and Stokes broached the idea of sponsoring the
race. With just a month out, it was short notice for the
partnership, but Stokes was confident he could leverage
the TV coverage into a deal.
“They said we’re really going to do it bigger next year
when they got longer to think about it,” Stokes said.
“That’s a good deal for us going forward.”

SEC men’s basketball matchups released

MSU will twice face Ole Miss, Alabama, Arkansas,
Missouri and South Carolina in 2019-20
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
Less than 24 hours after forward
Reggie Perry announced his inten-
tion to return for his sophomore
year, MSU released its SEC match-
ups for the 2020 sea-
son.
The Bulldogs will
play both at home and
on the road against
Ole Miss, Alabama,
Arkansas, Missouri
and South Carolina.
MSU’s sin- Perry
gle-game conference
slate includes road trips to LSU,
Florida, Kentucky and Texas A&M,
while Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Geor-
gia and Auburn will visit Starkville.
Ole Miss is the only one of the
five teams the Bulldogs will face
twice that reached the NCAA tour-
nament in 2019. Further, Alabama
and Arkansas are welcoming new
coaches to town in Nate Oats (Buf-
falo) and Eric Musselman (Neva-
da), respectively.
Road games against Kentucky,
LSU and Florida will each pose
their own unique set of challenges.
UK coach John Calipari wel-
comes another top-flight recruiting
class to Lexington — a place MSU
has not won since 2009 — as three
five-star prospects will suit up for
the Wildcats next year.
LSU remains in a state of rela-
tive flux off the court as the FBI
investigation into corruption in
college basketball persists. That
said, coach Will Wade was reinstat-
ed April 14 following a month-long
suspension for alleged recruiting
violations.
On the court, the Tigers received
news Monday that junior guards
Skylar Mays and Marlon Taylor
will return to Baton Rouge after
flirting with their NBA prospects.
Freshman guard Javonte Smart will
also be back for an LSU team that
reached the Sweet 16 last season.
Florida comes into 2020 after
reaching the second round of the
NCAA Tournament for the third
time in four years. Though the Ga-
tors lose four seniors from last sea-
son’s team, they welcome the No. 7
overall recruiting class to Gaines-
ville per 247 Sports. The group is
spearheaded by five-star prospects
Scottie Lewis and Tre Mann.
Guard Andrew Nembhard, who
averaged eight points, 5.4 assists
and 2.9 rebounds per game as a
freshman, will also bolster the Flor-
ida roster after he withdrew from
NBA Draft consideration Wednes-
day.
Of the remaining teams on
MSU’s schedule, Georgia looks to
improve from its 11-21 season as
coach Tom Crean enters his second
season at the helm. 247’s No. 1 over-
all recruit Anthony Edwards could
expedite the rebuilding process in
Athens.
Auburn will come to Starkville
after reaching the program’s first
ever Final Four. The Tigers will
lose plenty of production in seniors
Bryce Brown, Horace Spencer and
Malik Dunbar who combined for 26
points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists
in 2019.
Junior guard Jared Harper has
also decided to forgo his final year
of eligibility.
Seniors J’Von McCormick, Dan-
jel Purifoy and Anfernee McLem-
ore will anchor the remaining piec-
es of the Final Four run next year.
Game times, dates and TV
schedules will be released at a later
time.

Sánchez came off the

Right-hander Kyle

happening in Starkville, though?
On May 18, MSU needed a win
over lowly South Carolina to claim
the SEC West title outright. But
when the Bulldogs fell behind,
4-1, in the fifth inning, MSU called
on senior Jared Liebelt, who had
emerged as the Bulldogs’ most
reliable reliever during the season.
Much to MSU’s dismay, Liebelt
gave up four runs and recorded
only four outs. The Bulldogs lost,
10-8, and MSU had to share the
SEC West title with Arkansas.
Jared’s parents and grandpar-
ents made the trip down from Illi-
nois to watch the series. By the end
of the game, Tim Liebelt, Jared’s
dad had “unfollowed” 15 people on
Twitter, so harsh was the criticism
leveled against his son. It was not
the Bulldogs’ finest hour – on the
field or in the stands, as it turned
out.
Now, as MSU gets ready for
postseason play, it’s hard to imag-
ine why losing the last game of the
regular season evoked such an
outburst. Nobody much cares now.
But they lit up Liebelt on Twitter
on May 18.
Mississippi State, ranked third
in the nation and the No. 1 seed in
the regional they will host, is the
clear favorite. But in baseball, few
things are an absolute certainty.
The Bulldog may lose. They may
lose spectacularly. They may lose
in gut-wrenching fashion.
There may be some kid wearing
maroon who has his own Bill Buck-
ner moment.
MSU likes to say it has the best
fans in college baseball.
But the proof of that might be
best measured in the most painful
of moments.
Remember Bill Buckner.
You’ll be better fans if you do.

Bounce-back Binnington out to beat Bruins who took him in
The Associated Press
BOSTON — The resolve Jordan Bin-
nington is showing in the playoffs was
forged in Bruins black and gold.
Now it’s being used to try to beat the
organization that took him in.
Binnington bounced back from a
rough start to the Stanley Cup Final to
make 21 saves in the St. Louis Blues’
Game 2 overtime victory that tied the
best-of-seven series against Boston at
1-1. The 25-year-old rookie goaltender
improved to 6-2 in the playoffs after a
loss after being 6-0 in those situations
during the regular season.
“Life of a goaltender,” Binnington
said. “Just keep moving forward and
regroup, just try to be there and give
your team a chance to win. I keep that
mindset.”
Binnington’s life as a goaltender
hasn’t been easy and it included a nota-

Woods closer to Snead than Nicklaus at Memorial

By DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press
DUBLIN, Ohio — Winning
the Masters gave Tiger Woods
his 15th major and allowed him
to resume the pursuit of Jack
Nicklaus and his 18 majors.
It moved him even closer to
another record that Rory McIl-
roy believes should get more
attention.
Woods now is at 81 career
victories on the PGA Tour, one
short of the official record —
as official as the tour can de-
termine — that Sam Snead set
from 1936 to 1965.
“Especially this day and age,
I think it’s more impressive
than his major tally,” McIlroy
said Wednesday ahead of the
Memorial. “Eighty-two wins ...
if you’re around for 20 years,
that’s four a year, every year.
It’s very, very impressive. I
think if you’re winning multiple
times a year, you’re doing pret-
ty well. So to have the average
that he’s had — eight-win sea-
sons, nine-win seasons — if he
does pass that record of Snead’s
... it’s almost more impressive
than the 15.”
Woods is a five-time winner
at the Memorial, and the most
recent victory at Muirfield Vil-
lage (2012) was significant be-
cause it was his 73rd title on the
PGA Tour, which tied him with
Nicklaus for second on the ca-
reer list.
What to expect from him
this year remains a mystery.
He looked like the Woods
of old when he won at Augus-
ta National by hitting all the
right shots and letting everyone
around him make the mistakes.
A month later, without having
played since the Masters, he
missed the cut at Bethpage
Black in the PGA Champion-
ship.
Woods attributed his lack of
play to the emotional toll of win-
ning the Masters — it had been
11 years since his last major —
and to being sick during the
three days of practice rounds at
Bethpage Black, which limited
him to nine holes.
He rarely misses the Me-
morial except for injury or the
death of his father in 2006, and
Woods wants to start getting
his game in gear with the U.S.
Open at Pebble Beach just two
weeks away.
He played the pro-am
Wednesday with retired NFL
great Peyton Manning, who
knows about returning from in-
jury to win the big one.
“I think the most impressive
thing is how he’s been able to
adjust and be adapted to play-
ing in a new physical state,”
said Manning, who returned
from a neck injury to win a
Super Bowl with the Denver
Broncos. “That’s kind of what I
did. To use a baseball analogy,
I couldn’t throw the 100 mph
fastball anymore, but you could
still work the outside edges of
the plate. You could still strike
a guy out that way. He struck a
lot of guys out. He came home
with the win.”
The fastball in golf is power,
and that never hurts around
Muirfield Village, especial-
ly in a week when the course
is expected to be softened by
storms.
Woods said he feels re-
freshed after the PGA Champi-
onship and now needs to get in
competitive rounds in his final
start before the U.S. Open. He
was at Pebble Beach last week
for a day of practice in damp
conditions, having not seen the
course since 2012 in the AT&T
Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where
he closed with a 75 to tie for
15th.
As for 82 victories?
Woods had had 10 seasons
of five victories or more — only
Vijay Singh and Nick Price
have had more than five wins
in any season over the last 25
years. Woods had 79 victories
in 18 years and then was slowed
by back surgeries to the point
where he nearly didn’t return
at all.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May

those who reflect your values.
You’ve a specific intention for

bers are: 6, 40, 33, 50 and 7.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).

you or the other person is be-
side the point. You seek to cre-
ate interactions that increase
the quality of your bonds. This
BEETLE BAILEY

principle will carry you through
many beneficial exchanges.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Real gifts don’t demand direct
reciprocation. The best gifts
are gifts that can’t possibly be
reciprocated because they are
one of a kind and could have
only been created by the giver.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Disagreement causes stress.
One of the most common
things people disagree about is
money. Whatever you can do to
take money completely out of
the equation will also take the
stress out.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
To know a person is to accu-
rately predict what’s going to
set them off, please them or
bond them to you. If you get
this wrong, don’t worry. The
reckoning will be a shortcut to
becoming intimately acquainted.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
way it goes with teaching and
influencing is that not every
exercise is going to be memora-

will happen in increments, each
moment building on the last.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
A spontaneous and uncharac-

situation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Make room for new people and
contributions from unexpected
sources. Relatedly, those who
normally avoid the spotlight
will step forth with something
relevant to add to the show.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). While wanting approval is
natural, wanting it too much is
dangerous. Such a craving can
easily be manipulated. If you
find yourself seeking validation,
pull back and question your own
motives.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). What separates truly smart
people from those who merely
think of themselves as or aspire
to be smart is that the truly
smart accept that there is much
they don’t and may never know.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Before you get too busy,
distracted and wrapped up in
today’s inevitable drama, take a
break and visit yourself. You’re
excellent company! And you
have much to share with your-
self during this check-in.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You don’t need an instru-
ment to play music. Like the
singing bird or the howling wolf,
you are the instrument. Use this
metaphor as a guiding principle.
In all ways, travel light.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). The question of who
deserves what is very tricky
and ego-bound. Many who think
they should get more actually
have less of a claim to it than
the hard workers with lower
self-esteem who actually do the
required labor.

China dangles a potentially
harmful new threat in trade war
Chinese state media
warned that Beijing could
cut America off from exotic
minerals that are widely
used in electric cars and
mobile phones
By PAUL WISEMAN, FRANK BAJAK
and YANAN WANG
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Facing new trade
sanctions and a U.S. clampdown on its
top telecommunications company, China
issued a pointed reminder Wednesday
that it has yet to unleash all its weapons
in its trade war with the Trump adminis-
tration.
Chinese state media warned that Bei-
jing could cut America off from exotic
minerals that are widely used in electric
cars and mobile phones. The threat to
use China’s rich supply of so-called rare
earths as leverage in the conflict has con-
tributed to sharp losses in U.S. stocks
and sliding long-term bond yields.
For months, the world’s two biggest
economies have been locked in a standoff
over allegations that China deploys pred-
atory tactics — including stealing trade
secrets and forcing foreign companies
to hand over technology — in a drive to
supplant U.S. technological dominance.
The Trump administration has im-
posed 25 percent tariffs on $250 billion
in Chinese imports and is planning to
tax the $300 billion in imports that have
so far been spared. And it escalated the
stakes this month by putting the Chinese
telecom giant Huawei on a blacklist that
effectively bars U.S. companies from
supplying it with computer chips, soft-
ware and other components without gov-
ernment approval.
The U.S. claims Huawei is legally
beholden to China’s ruling Communist
Party, which could order it to spy on
their behalf. Washington has offered no
evidence that the Huawei has done that,
however.
Huawei is trying to beat back one pu-
nitive U.S. measure in federal court. In a
motion filed late Tuesday in eastern Tex-
as, the company argued that a 2018 law
that bars it from selling telecom gear to
U.S. government agencies and contrac-
tors should be struck down as unconsti-
tutional.

Uber to boot riders from app if they repeatedly misbehave

The Associated Press
If you misbehave re-
peatedly while getting a
ride from Uber, you could
get booted off the app.
The company said
that starting Wednesday,
riders with a rating from
drivers that’s significant-
ly below average could
lose their ability to ride.
But before that hap-
pens they’ll get tips on
how to improve ratings by
being polite, not leaving
trash in vehicles and not
asking the driver to vio-
late the speed limit. Uber
says they’ll get several
chances to improve their
rating before getting the
boot.
Uber already expects
drivers to meet a mini-
mum rating that varies
by city. It expects only a
small number of people to
lose the ability to ride.
It’s all part of Uber
simplifying is behavior
guidelines, which came
out in 2016.
Starting with the U.S.
and Canada, riders will
see a summary of the
guidelines and be asked
to confirm that they un-
derstand them.
