Some issues

Public defender, MAEP funding

JACKSON — It’s hard to hear the sound

of the dog that didn’t bark.
In the same way, it’s hard to detect the
impact of issues that lawmakers didn’t deal
with. But as in any session, there were im-
portant issues on which the Mississippi
Legislature didn’t make laws, or even really
consider.
This, for example, could have been the
year for lawmakers to create a state public
defender system. Right now, each county
decides how to pay lawyers for people ac-
cused of crimes who can’t afford their own
attorneys. A task force highlighted serious
flaws in that system, including lawyers de-
pendent on the favor of judges for their jobs,
and lawyers who make too little money, cre-
ating incentives for them to neglect their Zack Plair/Dispatch Staff

one way to force lawmakers’ hands.
Some issues vanished this year because
they were politically unpopular and could
have threatened lawmakers’ chances of
re-election. For example, many Republi-
can leaders still dislike the Mississippi
Adequate Education Program, the fund-
ing formula that determines how money is
apportioned among school districts and is
supposed to tell lawmakers how much mon-
ey to put in.
In 2018, Republican leaders made a se-
rious run at replacing the formula, but lost
when Democrats and some Republicans
resisted, under heavy pressure from tradi-
tional public school supporters.
The adequate education program is still
deeply underfunded, though, with lawmak-
ers shorting it about $250 million for the
upcoming budget year. The rewrite debate

Garner recalled, though she hadn’t
really thought of herself as such in
almost a decade.
“I guess that’s what I am,” Garner
conceded. “But my kids say I’m just

Garner has lived in Starkville for
more than 40 years. She’s put four

Nissan shareholders OK ouster of ex-chair Ghosn from board

By YURI K AGEYAMA AP
Business Writer
TOKYO — Nissan’s share-
holders ousted the automaker’s
former chairman Carlos Ghosn
from its board on Monday,
seeking to shut the door on an
era capped by scandal.
More than 4,000 people
gathered at a Tokyo hotel for
a three-hour extraordinary
shareholders’ meeting and
signaled their approval for dis-
missing Ghosn with applause.
They also approved the ap-
pointment of French alliance
partner Renault SA’s Chairman
Jean-Dominique Senard to re-
place Ghosn. Renault owns 43
percent of Nissan.
“I will dedicate my energy
to enhance the future of Nis-
san,” said Senard, who was in-
troduced to the shareholders at
the meeting’s end. He promised
to do his best to keep the auto-
maker’s performance on track.
Ghosn was first arrested in
November for allegedly under-
reporting his compensation
and for breach of trust. He was
released on bail in early March
and then re-arrested for a fourth
time last week. The latest arrest
involves new allegations that $5
million from a Nissan Motor
Co. subsidiary meant for an
Oman dealership was diverted
to a company effectively con-
trolled by Ghosn.
Ghosn says he is innocent.
He has suggested the accusa-
tions were made by some at
Nissan hoping to remove him
from power.
Nissan’s Chief Executive
Hiroto Saikawa and other top
managers bowed low in apology
to shareholders.
“I deeply, deeply apologize
for all the worries and troubles
we have caused,” Saikawa said.
“This is an unprecedented and
unbelievable misconduct by a
top executive.”
At the meeting, which was
closed except to stockholders
but livestreamed, angry share-
holders demanded an expla-
nation for how wrongdoing on
an allegedly massive scale had
gone unchecked for years.
One shareholder said Nis-
san’s entire management
should resign immediately.
Saikawa said he felt his respon-
sibility lay in fixing the shoddy
corporate governance at Nissan
first, and continuing to lead its
operations. Another sharehold-
er asked if Nissan was prepared
for a damage lawsuit from
shareholders since its stock
price has plunged.
Nissan shareholder Ken Mi-
yamoto said he was disappoint-
ed.
“It is really such a pity as he
was a brilliant manager,” Mi-
yamoto said of Ghosn before
heading into the meeting. “I
guess he became complacent
as people kept praising him too
much.”
Yokohama-based Nissan,
which makes the Leaf electric
car, March subcompact and
Infiniti luxury models, was on
the brink of bankruptcy when
Renault sent Ghosn to turn it
around two decades ago.
The alliance, which now
includes smaller Japanese au-
tomaker Mitsubishi Motors
Corp., rivals auto giants Volk-
swagen AG of Germany and
Japanese rival Toyota Motor
Corp. in global sales. But like
other Japanese manufacturers
it has been dogged by scandals
over bogus inspections and oth-
er misconduct.
The allegations of breach of
trust involved having Nissan
shoulder investment losses that
Ghosn say caused the company
no losses. He says payments to
a Saudi businessman that pros-
ecutors are questioning were
for legitimate services. He says
the compensation he allegedly
underreported was never decid-
ed on or paid.
During Monday’s meeting,
Saikawa, the CEO, outlined
the findings of an internal in-
vestigation, such as 13 years’
worth of consulting fee pay-
ments to Ghosn’s sister. He
told shareholders the company
will stick by the alliance, fix
its governance problems and
make Ghosn’s ouster “a turning
point.”
“We had allowed a system
in which wrongdoing could be
carried out without detection,”
he said.
The shareholders also gave
a green light Monday to remov-
ing from the board a former
executive director, Greg Kel-
ly, who has been charged with
collaborating with Ghosn in the
alleged misconduct.
Ghosn’s detention following
his arrest on April 4 has been
approved through April 14 but
could be extended. The date of
his trial has not been set.
His lawyers in Japan said
they plan to show a videotape of
Ghosn’s comments on Tuesday
and take questions afterward.
The comments were recorded
before his arrest.
Ghosn’s wife Carole Ghosn,
who was with her husband in
Tokyo when he was arrested
last week, appealed to French
President Emmanuel Macron
for help.
“I’m asking that we allow him
the presumption of innocence
like all French citizens, and
France must do something,”
she told France’s RTL radio.
Carole Ghosn, who left Japan
for France on Friday, described
his arrest as humiliating. Japa-
nese investigators confiscated
her Lebanese passport, but she
said she used her American
passport to leave the country.
“I’d never been so proud of
him because he remained dig-
nified. He held his head high
and he was calm,” she said.

Storms sweeping through South

cause damage in Alabama
The Associated Press
GUNTERSV ILLE,
Ala. — A strong storm
moving across northeast
Alabama knocked down
power lines and caused
scattered damage in a re-
tail district.
Photos shared on so-
cial media showed plants
and other items thrown
around the parking lot of
a Walmart store in Gunt-
ersville, Alabama, early
Monday.
High winds left trees
tilted sideways and utility
lines drooped toward the
ground. Farm buildings
were damaged in rural
Blount County, Alabama.
The National Weather
Service issued tornado
warnings after radar in-
dicated a possible twister.
There were no immediate
reports of injuries.
Schools in DeKalb
County, Alabama, and
Northeast Alabama Com-
munity College delayed
the start of classes Mon-
day due to the threat of
severe weather.
The Storm Prediction
Center says 26 million
people are at a slight risk
of severe storms in Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Geor-
gia and the Carolinas.

Mississippi man dead
after shot multiple
times in head
GRENADA — A north
Mississippi man is dead
after he was shot in the
head multiple times.
Grenada County Sher-
iff’s Investigator Josh
Dale tells WTVA-TV that
deputies were called Sat-
urday to a home north of
Grenada.
There, they found
46-year-old Jeff Counts
dead from multiple gun-
shot wounds.
Deputies arrested
18-year-old Gage At-
kinson at the scene and
charged him murder.
Dale says Counts, At-

were shooting at targets
in the home’s backyard.
He calls Counts’ death

It’s unclear if Atkinson
has seen a judge or has a
lawyer.
Counts’ body will be
sent to the state Crime

Mississippi city may
update old, broken
parking meters
JACKSON, Miss. (AP)
— The city of Jackson,
Mississippi, may replace
its old and broken park-
ing meters with newer
versions that work with
smartphones.
Jackson’s deputy direc-
tor of city planning, Jor-
dan Hillman, tells WAPT-
TV that the city has put
out requests for proposals
for coin, credit card and
smartphone compatible
meters.
The station says local
businesses say the bro-
ken meters are inconve-
niencing customers and
affecting sales. It says
city officials say the city
has lost hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars in reve-
nue because of the broken
meters, some of which are
more than 20 years old.
City officials say they
hope to start work on the
meters this fall.

State infrastructure needs
immediate attention
Last week the Mississippi Department of Transportation
mandated the closure of more than 60 bridges that were
supposed to have been closed earlier due to structural
concerns.
The Federal Highway Administration mandated the
closure of state bridges deemed unsafe and put the loss of
approximately $530 million in federal highway funds on the
line if they didn’t comply.
At the end of the day, Mississippi should be ashamed that
its leadership has allowed the state’s infrastructure to get in
such shape in the first place.
And Mississippi certainly should never be in a position in
which the federal government has to threaten to pull funds
in order to get the state to do the right thing.
The 2019 Legislature closed on Friday, paving the way for
the state election campaigns to gear up at full speed.
We hope (and urge) those seeking state leadership
positions to commit to fixing Mississippi’s infrastructure
problems.
Whether the solution is a gas tax increase or something
else, we need a plan to get our highways and roads back in
good shape for the safety of our residents and for the econo-
my we need to grow and foster.

Today in history
Today is Monday, April 8, the 98th day of 2019. There are
267 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On April 8, 1994, Kurt Cobain, singer and guitarist for
the grunge band Nirvana, was found dead in Seattle from
an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound; he was 27.

On this date:
In 1864, the United States Senate passed, 38-6, the 13th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolishing slavery.
(The House of Representatives passed it in January 1865;
the amendment was ratified and adopted in December
1865.)
In 1911, an explosion at the Banner Coal Mine in Little-
ton, Alabama, claimed the lives of 128 men, most of them
convicts loaned out from prisons.
In 1913, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, pro-
viding for popular election of U.S. senators (as opposed to
appointment by state legislatures), was ratified. President
Woodrow Wilson became the first chief executive since
John Adams to address Congress in person as he asked
lawmakers to enact tariff reform.
In 1952, President Harry S. Truman seized the Amer-
ican steel industry to avert a nationwide strike. (The
Supreme Court later ruled that Truman had overstepped
his authority, opening the way for a seven-week strike by
steelworkers.)
In 1961, a suspected bomb exploded aboard the passen-
ger liner MV Dara in the Persian Gulf, causing it to sink;
238 of the 819 people aboard were killed.
In 1963, “Lawrence of Arabia” won the Oscar for best
picture at the Academy Awards; Gregory Peck won best
actor for “To Kill a Mockingbird” while Anne Bancroft
received best actress honors for “The Miracle Worker.”
In 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 715th
career home run in a game against the Los Angeles Dodg-
ers, breaking Babe Ruth’s record.

The Trump-Charlottesville ‘moral equivalency’ lie the left keeps telling

During a 2008
interview with
then-Republican
vice presidential
candidate Sarah
Palin, ABC’s Char-
lie Gibson asked
whether Alaska’s
proximity to Russia
offered Palin
unique “insight.”
Palin responded,
“They’re our next- Larry Elder
door neighbors,
and you can actually see Rus-
sia from land here in Alaska,
from an island in Alaska.”
In a Saturday Night Live
skit, comic Tiny Fey mocked
in this exchange with comic
Amy Poehler, who portrayed
Hillary Clinton.
Fey as Palin: “You know,
Hillary and I don’t agree on
everything ...”
Poehler as Clinton: “Any-
thing. I believe that diplomacy called “Misperceptions in
should be the cornerstone of
any foreign policy.”
Fey as Palin: “And I can see Media.” About Palin’s Russia
Russia from my house.”
Two things: First, there
are places in Alaska where
one can, in fact, see Russia. A
Conde Nast travel website put
it this way: “You could argue
that this bit of cartographic
trivia didn’t make Palin an au-
thority on geopolitics, but it’s
factually correct:
Russia and Alaska
are close enough to
make eye contact.
On a clear day, you
could climb a hill
on Cape Prince of
Wales and maybe
make out main-
land Siberia, just
fifty miles away.”
Not close enough?
Alaska’s Little
Diomede Island
in the Bering Sea lies within
easy eyeshot of Big Diomede
Island, part of Siberia and the
easternmost point of Russia.
The two islands are separated
by the international date line
and a mere 2 miles of ocean.
Second, Palin never said,
“I can see Russia from my
house.” University of Geor-
gia’s Michael Cacciatore
co-authored a research paper
Polarized Politics: The Role of
Knowledge, Religiosity, and
comment, Cacciatore writes:
“Almost three-quarters
of the American population
falsely attributed the state-
ment to Palin. And much of
the blame, it appears, goes to
late-night political comedies,
such as ‘The Colbert Report’
and ‘The Daily Show.’ After
controlling for other factors,
including demographics and
media use, heavy viewers of
late-night TV comedy had a
(higher) probability of believ-
ing that Palin was the first
to say, ‘I can see Russia from
my house.’ ... Perhaps more
alarming, neither knowledge
nor traditional news media use
helped correct this mispercep-
tion related to Palin. In fact,
heavy traditional news media
users were nearly 14 percent-
age points more likely than
light users to think Palin was
responsible for the quote.”
This bring us to President
Donald Trump, a current vic-
tim of the Palin Effect. Trump
stands accused of an allegedly
“racist” reaction to the 2017
tragedy in Charlottesville, Vir-
ginia, where a white national-
ist plowed his car into a crowd,
killing one and injuring
several others. Many insist
Trump downplayed the horror
of the Charlottesville tragedy
by supposedly stating there
were “good white nationalists
and bad white nationalists”
or “good neo-Nazis and bad
neo-Nazis” at the rally.
CNN’s Don Lemon, while
covering a story on the
recent mass shootings in
New Zealand, said, “Nobody
has forgotten — nobody has
forgotten — what he (Trump)
said after that deadly white
supremacist riot in Charlot-
tesville.” Lemon played an
edited clip of Trump saying:
“You also had people that
were very fine people on both
sides. You had people in that
group — excuse me, excuse
me. I saw the same pictures
as you did.” Similarly, Chi-
cago Mayor Rahm Emanuel
referred to Trump’s Charlot-
tesville response to blame him
for the Jussie Smollett hoax.
Emanuel said: “The only rea-
son Jussie Smollett thought
he could take advantage of a
hoax about a hate crime is for
the environment — the toxic
environment — that Donald
Trump created. This is a
President who drew a moral
equivalency between people
who are trying to perpetuate
bigotry and those who are try-
ing to fight bigotry. ... When
you go back to Virginia, this
is a person who said, and I
quote, ‘There are good people
on both sides!’”
The problem is that Trump
said no such thing.
In his widely misquoted
press conference three days
after Charlottesville, Trump
said there were “very fine
people” on “both sides” of the
issue of whether it is appro-
priate to display Confederate
monuments in pubic locations.
Here is what Trump said: “Ex-
cuse me, they didn’t put them-
selves down as neo-Nazis, and
you had some very bad people
in that group. But you also
had people that were very fine
people on both sides. You had
people in that group — excuse
me, excuse me. I saw the
same pictures as you did. You
had people in that group that
were there to protest the tak-
ing down of, to them, a very,
very important statue and the
renaming of a park from Rob-
ert E. Lee to another name.”
In case there was any doubt,
Trump, in response to another
question, said, “I’m not talking
about the neo-Nazis and the
white nationalists, because hey
should be condemned totally”
(emphasis added).
The question becomes,
Why are so many Democrats
and members of the media
seemingly unaware of what
Trump really said? Many
know exactly what Trump said
and what he meant. But the lie
serves a purpose. It advances
the Trump-is-racist narrative.

As cholera raged in Yemen,
warring factions blocked vaccines
Cholera epidemic has killed nearly 3,000 Yemenis
By MAGGIE MICHAEL
The Associated Press
ADEN, Yemen — In the summer
of 2017, a plane chartered by the
United Nations idled on the tarmac
at an airport in the Horn of Africa
as officials waited for final clear-
ance to deliver half a million doses
of cholera vaccine to Yemen. Amid
the country’s ruinous war, the dis-

The green light for the plane
to head to northern Yemen never

tribute cholera vaccines to Yemen
until May 2018 and the outbreak ul-

After a quiet offensive week-

Backed by home runs from
sophomores Tanner Allen and

a 7-5 win over Tennessee and
with it a 2-1 series victory.
“We are really good [offen-

gets going,” head coach Chris
Lemonis said. “Rowdey also
had a couple of big hits, too.
Those two left-handed bats are
huge for us moving forward.”
Trailing 2-0 in the third in-

TAMPA, Fla. — Baylor lost

a star player, then the rest of
its 17-point lead. But the Lady
Bears, led by the ever-poised
Chloe Jackson, kept their com-

Jackson drove for a tiebreak-

and that put the game into the

Notre Dame’s Arike Ogun-

for an 82-81 victory Sunday in
the NCAA women’s basketball
championship game.
“They just kept doing what

Mississippi State head coach Vann
Stuedeman called time.
Sophomore pitcher Emily Williams
held a 1-1 count against LSU senior in-
fielder Shemiah Sanchez, who had al-
ready homered off her in the third inning.
“I said, ‘She wants to hit a home run,
make sure you get in the box with her,’”
Stuedeman recounted.
On the ensuing pitch, Williams did just
the opposite.
“It was a mistake,” she said. “Missed
middle instead of inside.”
Sanchez smoked the hanging fast-
ball down the left field line to give No.
7/5-ranked LSU the 5-3 lead and ultimate-
ly a 2-1 series win in the top of the seventh
inning.
The loss marked the fourth straight
Southeastern Conference series that
MSU failed to win.
“We fought back and sometimes some
things may not go our way, but it is what
it is,” junior utility player Fa Leilua said.
“That only tells us we need to keep work-
ing, keep grinding.”
Sunday’s deciding match of the
three-game series was not short on

Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth
inning, Leilua stepped to the plate.

NCAA MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP GAME PREVIEW

First timers Virginia, Texas Tech ready for big show

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — For Vir-
ginia and Texas Tech, doing
something that had never been
done before took hard work,
dedication, determination —
and vision.
The Cavaliers and Red Raid-
ers meet in the NCAA Tourna-
ment championship game Mon-
day night. Neither program has
ever been this close to a title,
making it a rare matchup of
first-timers to the final game of
the college basketball season.
The last time both teams in the
championship game had never
been there before was 40 years
ago, when Magic Johnson and
Michigan State beat Larry Bird
and Indiana State.
Between the Red Raiders
(31-6) and Cavaliers (34-3),
a first-time champ is guaran-
teed. The last one of those was
crowned in 2006, when Florida
won the first of back-to-back ti-
tles.
College basketball’s hierar-
chy, blue bloods in an array of
shades from Duke to Kentucky,
North Carolina to Kansas, is
difficult to crack. Getting here
started with Virginia coach
Tony Bennett and Texas Tech’s
Chris Beard believing it could
be done.
“Then you’ve got to get peo-
ple on board that really believe
it and believe it in front of you,
behind your back, believe it at
10 o’clock when they’re out of
town, on the road somewhere.
Believe it in the morning, be-
lieve it when they’re talking
to their wife, their kid,” Beard
said Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadi-
um. “They’ve got to really be-
lieve it.”
In less than a decade, Beard
has gone from coaching in the
semi-pro ABA to Division III,
then II, and then a couple of
seasons at Arkansas Little Rock
before landing in Lubbock. The
Red Raiders basketball histo-
ry is solid but unspectacular.
Texas Tech was where Bobby
Knight landed after the volatile
Hall of Fame coach wore out his
welcome in Indiana. He took
Texas Tech to the NCAA Tour-
nament four times in the 2000s.
Pretty good, but Beard expect-
ed much more.
“Our goal has never been to
make a tournament. It’s been
to win the tournament,” Beard
said. “It’s easy to talk about,
and really, really hard to do.
But that’s where we started this
whole thing, was just trying to
have the expectations and the
vision where we could be rela-
tive.”
Texas Tech reached the Elite
Eight for the first time last sea-
son. This season, with a mostly
rebuilt team around star Jarrett
Culver, the Red Raiders shared
the Big 12 regular-season title
for the first time.
Bennett’s belief he could
challenge the Atlantic Coast
Conference’s Tobacco Road
powers came from his father,
Dick Bennett. The Badgers
hadn’t been to a Final Four in
more than 50 years, when Dick
Bennett coached them there in
2000 using a methodical style.
“Can you go and take a team
and build your program in a
way that you think is best and
compete against the best?” said
Bennett, in his 10th season at
Virginia. “There’s a way that I
know works -- or that I believe
works. So when you get in
those spots, you hope, you have
a vision and you hope, but you
never truly know. When you
come in and say, ‘This is going
to happen. We’re going to be a
Final Four team, or we’re going
to win the ACC.’ You believe it,
and you hope it, and then you
just go to work.”

Hit me in the end zone NCAA: THINGS TO KNOW

Here’s a few tips to the game

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — The NCAA Tour-
nament will take an ugly turn in its final
or, depending on your perspective, be a
masterpiece in defensive basketball.
The national title game Monday night
pits Virginia (34-3), the standard-bearer
in lockdown basketball, against the new
kids on the defensive block, the Texas
Tech Red Raiders (31-6).
The over/under for points is 118. The
over/under on bruises may be higher.
“People have been all over how bad
the Final Four is going to be, the final
game, the low scoring, whatever,” Sac-
ramento State coach Brian Katz said. “I
love it. It’s great defense. Fun to watch.
If you’re the casual fan and you’ve got
one hand in the popcorn and beer, you’re
waiting around looking for the big dunk
or whatever, you’re probably bored. If
you’re really into the game, you get it.”

to give an update Sunday.
THE SCORERS: Virginia is led by
the three-headed monster of Guy, De’An-

3-pointer before the three massive free
throws against Auburn.
“Confidence can come to you from
family, from past experiences, from
wanting something, a goal, from your
teammates,” Guy said Sunday. “I try to
relish all of that. I get as much confi-
dence as I can from everyone and try to
squeeze every ounce of it I can.”
Guy has been taking medication for
anxiety attacks he has battled all sea-

The Ole Miss over-

a fresh start. The Reb-
els are 16-20 over the
past three seasons while
dealing with the constant
shadow of NCAA sanc-
tions that included a two-
year postseason ban and

Now those obstacles
are largely gone. Luke

er. He’s shown that.”

Baylor was able to pull off the
win without star forward Lauren
Cox, who injured her knee in a
frightening scene late in the third
quarter. The Irish were able to rally
from a 14-point deficit in the third
quarter to tie it at 78 in the fourth.
Jackson then scored a jumper from
the foul line, and Jessica Shepard
countered with two free throws to
tie it, setting up the exciting finish.
“We had to do it for LC,” said
Jackson, who was named the Final
Four’s Most Outstanding Player.
“She got us here. We had to finish
the job for her.”
The Lady Bears (37-1) won their
first championship in seven years.
Mulkey and Baylor have won titles
in 2005, 2012 and 2019. The 2012
championship game also pitted
the Lady Bears against Muffet Mc-
Graw’s Irish in the last meeting of
two female coaches for the title.
The Lady Bears were primed to
run away with the game as Notre
Dame struggled to score. But the
Irish have a knack for big come-
backs, doing it against UConn in
this year’s semifinal and against
Mississippi State in last season’s ti-
tle game, when they rallied from 15
down in the third quarter.
Ogunbowale was instrumental in
all those victories, forever becom-
ing a part of the Final Four during
last year’s title run. She made a shot
with one second remaining to beat
UConn in the semifinals, then hit
a tiebreaking 3-pointer with one-
tenth of a second left to top the Bull-
dogs in the title game.

Kyle Busch beats older brother Kurt to win in Bristol

THE ASSOCIATED PRES
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kyle
Busch was in the race Sunday
at Bristol Motor Speedway, so
of course, he won.
Busch grabbed his third Cup
win of the season, eighth over-
all at Bristol, and 10th this year
spanning all three of NASCAR’s
national series. He beat his old-
er brother, who said if given the
chance in Sunday’s race, he’d
have wrecked him so that Kurt
Busch was the one celebrating
in victory lane.
“He told me in victory lane
and I told him ‘You can’t tell peo-
ple you’re going to wreck them
before you do it because when
roles are reversed that person
is going to wreck you because
you already told them you were
going to wreck them,’” Kyle
Busch said. “So I guess if I’m
ever running second to Kurt,
I’m going to wreck him. I’m
glad it didn’t turn out that way.”
The Busch brothers lined up
side-by-side on the final restart,
but Kurt Busch had nothing to
slow Kyle Busch’s steamrolling
of the competition this year.
They’d inherited the lead as the
first in line not to pit for tires
during the 11th caution, and it
set up a final shootout between
Bristol’s two winningest active
drivers.
“He gave it one hell of a
fight,” Kyle Busch said. “Busch
and Bristol, sounds familiar.”
Kurt Busch is a six-time
winner at the .533-mile high-
banked oval and lamented the
loss over the P.A. system. When
he said he would have wrecked
Kyle Busch, the crowd roared
and affirmed Kurt Busch’s frus-
tration with the final results.
He’s emerged as the top driver
in the winless Chevrolet camp
with seven finishes of 12th or
higher in his debut with Chip
Ganassi Racing.
“That one is tough. I really
wanted to beat him. I was go-
ing to wreck him,” Kurt Busch
said. “Figure he could give a lit-
tle love to his brother. I wanted
that one bad. Feel like him right
now — I’m all mad because I
didn’t win.”
The wins go to Kyle Bus-
ch, seemingly all the time this
season, in anything he drives.
Along with teammate Denny
Hamlin, they’ve given Joe Gibbs
Racing five wins through the
first eight races. If a Gibbs car
doesn’t win, then a Ford from
Team Penske has, and that or-
ganization has the other three
Cup victories this year.
The win was probably going
to go to either Penske driver
Brad Keselowski or Joey Loga-
no until a late caution forced
teams to choose. They could go
in for tires or stay on track and
try to maintain their position for
the final 13 laps. The leaders —
Logano and Keselowski — went
to pit road, while Busch and his
big brother moved to the front
of the field.
“It was a no brainer for us,”
said crew chief Adam Stevens.
“We were just going to take our
chances. I didn’t think we would
inherit the lead. That made it a
little bit easier on us.”
The pit strategy set up the
storybook final ending to a
weekend spent honoring Hall
of Famer Darrell Waltrip, the
all-time winningest driver at
Bristol with 12 victories. He
used this venue to announce
he’ll retire as Fox Sports’ lead
analyst after 19 seasons, and
his success at making the con-
crete jungle his playground was
celebrated as Waltrip waved the
green flag to start the race.

is saying I don’t need to worry

that.

am going to go to counseling
because I know I need to do it,
but Abby, how do I eventually
not think about him and his
well-being and be heartless like
him? — HAVING A HARD TIME
IN GEORGIA
DEAR HARD TIME: I believe
you are a good and nice person,
but you are also one who is
very mixed up right now. If you
think your abuser loved you, you
are mistaken. Men who treat
women the way he treated you
not only don’t love women, they
don’t even LIKE them. Had your
mother not done what she did,
you could be dead.
If you want an example
of what love is, love is doing
something to help your daugh-
ter, knowing it may alienate
her forever, but doing it anyway
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Question: How many people
have to call someone “great”
before that someone has
achieved greatness? Answer:
one. The rules of greatness are
that everyone gets to choose
and abide by their own criteria.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). There are many ways you
tell your personal story. Much
depends on who’s asking. Right
now, you’re telling it to yourself
in an effort to figure out why you
left a place and how to get back
there.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You’ll be setting a goal.
The proper scale will matter.
It should be high enough that
you’re not sure how you’re go-
to save her life. I’m pleased
you have agreed to counseling
because you need it very much.
After you have gone for a while,
your emotional dependence on
your abuser will dissipate. He is
exactly where he belongs, and
you need to get on with your life.
DEAR ABBY: Five months
ago, my husband and I suffered
a miscarriage. We had been try-
ing to have a baby for six years,
and we were over the moon
excited. We waited 12 weeks to
tell any friends or family, but we
ended up having complications
and losing our little one at 22
weeks.
My problem is some of our
friends. I’m sure they mean well,
but they continue to ask if we
are trying again or if I’m expect-
ing, and some keep insisting
that I’m pregnant and that I
should take a pregnancy test.
It’s soul crushing. What can I
say when they ask me next time
that will stop them from asking
in the future? We will certainly
tell them when it happens,
but I don’t want to discuss it
until then. — CHANGING THE
SUBJECT
DEAR CHANGING: Please
accept my sympathy for your
loss. The most appropriate way
to handle these intrusive and
insensitive questions (and com-
ments) would be to tell them
exactly what you told me in the
last sentence of your letter and
repeat it as necessary.
ing to get there and low enough
that it accommodates the
reality of your situation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Getting one important thing
accomplished today will make
you feel like a star. Getting
halfway through five things will
make you feel unaccomplished.
Success depends on narrowing
the focus.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Just as everything you own
needs its place, everything you
want to do needs a time slot. If
you don’t say when, the answer
may as well be “never.” Even
a distant date stamp is better
than none at all.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You know why you care about a
thing, but you’re not sure why
everyone else should. This is
worth giving some thought, as
you won’t get the support you
need until you help others un-
derstand what you’re doing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Social skills are about
making people feel comfortable,
starting with yourself. Uncom-
fortable situations will happen.
This is an excellent time to
plan for them so you’ll have the
things that might make you feel
better.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Do you shake hands or go
in for a hug? How do you sign
off on the email? What do you
say at the end of the phone
call? These and other negoti-
ations of intimacy will be an
interesting part of your day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). What’s waiting to be
discovered in this day is truly
fascinating, though you wouldn’t
know it by the way information
is presented to you. You’ll have
to look past that to get to the
gold.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Lots of people know what
you can’t do, what’s unlikely
and all the ways that things are
wrong. And yet, you know other-
wise. You’re seeing, feeling and
knowing in your bones what’s
possible, and you can do it, too.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Don’t let the day, or even
one hour of it, become an un-
witting contract with passivity.
There’s something dear at stake
here: your confidence. You’ll
gain more with every ounce of
gumption you show.
