LONDON — A Brit-

WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange on Wednesday to
50 weeks in prison for skip-
ping bail seven years ago
and holing up in the Ecua-
dorian Embassy in London.
Judge Deborah Taylor
appeared unimpressed by
Assange’s written apology
and his lawyer’s argument
that he sought refuge in the
embassy because of over-
whelming fear of being tak-
en from Sweden, where he
faced sexual misconduct al-
legations, to the U.S. to face
separate charges related to
his WikiLeaks activity.
“It is essential to the
rule of law that nobody is
above or beyond the reach
of the law,” Taylor said.
“Orders of the court are to
be obeyed.”
The judge said it was
hard to imagine a more se-
rious version of the offense
as she gave the 47-year-old
hacker a sentence close to
the maximum of a year in
custody. She pointed out
that he had not surren-
dered “willingly” and was
only facing the court be-
cause the government of
Ecuador withdrew its pro-
tection last month.

tion to Sweden, where he
was wanted for question-

He was arrested by Brit-

Assange faces a sepa-

with conspiring to break

Taylor said Assange’s
seven years in the embassy
had cost British taxpayers
16 million pounds ($21 mil-

asylum as a “deliberate at-

Assange stood im-

CRA
Continued from Page 1A
property for $35,000. CRA
— which has purchased
nearly 40 lots in the five-
block project area near
downtown since 2016 —
acquired the Taylor-Burns
House for $30,000 from
the William G. Cannon III
family.
CRA’s acquisition of
the home was part of the
organization’s plan to
purchase about 70 lots —
most of which are empty
or contain vacant, dilap-
idated houses, though
some homes in the area
are still occupied — and
clear them in order to sell
the entire property to a
developer. After slating
the Taylor-Burns House
and seven others in the
project area for demolition
last year, CRA discovered
the whole neighborhood
was listed on the National
Register of Historic Plac-
es and required an MDAH
survey for landmarks be-
fore the project could pro-
ceed.
Though CRA strong-
ly urged MDAH not to
grant landmark status to
the Taylor-Burns House
so it would not disrupt
the overall development,
chairman John Acker said
the authority’s decision to
list the home now — as op-
posed to moving ahead to
demolish it — was “a way
to meet in the middle” be-
tween progress and pres-
ervation.
“We’re trying to please
both sides a little bit,” he
told The Dispatch. “If
someone wants to restore
the home, that will make
the preservationists hap-
py. ... We don’t want an
albatross in the middle of
the development, but if it
is done carefully, because
we still see the rest of
(Burns Bottom) as being
one tract that’s residen-
tial, (the house) will fit re-
ally well there.”
The house — built
in the 1830s, occupied
during Reconstruction by
a Union officer and later
by the Burns family who
is the neighborhood’s
namesake — is listed as
a significant historic con-
tributor to the Burns Bot-
tom neighborhood, which
was added to the National
Register of Historic Places
in 1980.
By the time CRA ac-
quired it, the house had
long been vacant and had
suffered significant struc-
tural deterioration, includ-
ing fire and water damage.
Restoring it would, at
minimum, cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars,
Acker said. However, if
it is converted to an in-
come-producing property,
there’s a chance a develop-
er could take advantage
of historic preservation
tax credits because it is a
contributing building to a
national historic district.
“If someone wanted
to, say, rent it as a rental
property for five years,
that would qualify,” Mis-
sissippi Landmarks Coor-
dinator Katherine Ander-
son said. “But if it’s the
owner’s residence, or was
going to be, that would
make it ineligible for the
tax credit.”
If interested buyers
come to the table, Acker
said CRA will add a stipu-
lation to the deed stating
it must approve exterior
architectural plans for the
home that show the buyer
intends to keep the histori-
cal exterior intact. He said
that clause in the deed is a
way to hold the buyer, and
any renovators they hire,
accountable.
“We’re just trying to
protect the overall de-
velopment,” he said. “If
someone does come in
to renovate it, we want to
make sure they do what
they say they’re going to
do.”
CRA still is negotiat-
ing with other property
owners to acquire the re-
maing lots in the project
area, including as many
as 10 owner-occupied
residential lots. Even so,
Acker said it is a huge re-
lief the yearlong process
with MDAH over the Tay-
lor-Burns House is finally
over.
“It’s a process, coming
to the table with property
owners, but we’re ready to
get back to it,” Acker said.
“... We’re really excited
because we feel like we’ve
turned a corner on the
whole project.”

Market Street Festival continues to bring us together
F
or 24 years now, noth-
ing has brought our
community closer
together than the annual
Market Street Festival. We
mean this quite literally.
For almost a quarter of a
century, thousands of peo-
ple from all over the Golden
Triangle and beyond arrive
in downtown Columbus for
a celebration that seems to
have something for every-
one. The event is the largest
gathering in Columbus by a
wide margin, dwarfing the
Columbus Christmas Parade
in attendance.
What was once a Saturday
event has expanded to a two-
day celebration kicked off
by a Friday night concert on
Main Street that continues to
build a following.
Each year, the event’s or-
ganizer, Main Street Colum-
bus, adds a new feature or a
new wrinkle on an existing
feature to keep things inter-
esting.
From music to a 5K run to
arts/crafts to kids’ activities
Our View
to an ever-expanding array
of food vendors, the Market
Street Festival is the city’s
signature event.
It’s a place for our diverse
community to come togeth-
er and enjoy the things we
share in common that can
sometimes be taken for
granted.
The festival is a two-day
event that takes months of
careful planning and the
active participation of volun-
teers, business owners and
city workers.
It’s worth remembering
that only a handful of Mis-
sissippi cities have been able
to conduct an event on this
scale.
As is always the case, no
amount of preparation can
account for the weather. Last
year, a day-long drizzling rain
put a damper on the event
and the forecast for Saturday
isn’t particularly promising
this year. But weather can be
capricious, so we’re hoping
the forecast for rain is off by
a few hours and will com-
mence at say, 6 p.m. or so. No
one will object to that.
If not, we encourage
folks to dress in their rain
gear, defy Mother Nature
and come out anyway. (We
should all be used to the rain
by now anyway.) After all, a
soggy celebration is still a
celebration.
We commend all those
whose work has set the stage
for another great festival.
Let’s hope Ma Nature smiles
on that hard work this week-
end.

Third-grade gate
needs strong
foundations
Mississippi has made it more chal-
lenging for its students to advance to
fourth-grade.
Since 2015, the state’s third-grade
students have been required to pass a
reading test in order to be promoted.
Starting this year, they must achieve an
even higher score to pass the test.
The so-called third-grade reading
gate was modeled on a program from
Florida. The idea is that after third
grade, students begin reading for
comprehension, rather than learning to
read. Thus, it is a disservice to promote
students to fourth-grade until they have
a strong foundation in reading or they
will be overwhelmed by the material and
fall further behind.
For the test’s first four years, students
had to reach the second, or basic, level
on a state test scored in five tiers. This
year, they must reach the third level.
Those who fail will still have two chanc-
es to retake the test, and some students
can qualify for good-cause exemptions
for various reasons.
We salute Mississippi for raising the
bar and holding its students to high
expectations. One of the fruits of the State of the nation

Trump, GOP states ask appeals

Taking a harder line on
health care, the Trump

a coalition of Republi-

Congress rendered the
Affordable Care Act com-

in 2017 by eliminating an
unpopular tax penalty for
not having insurance, the
administration and GOP
states told the court.

directions for the remain-
der of the year,” he says in
the email.
Peasant did not return
calls to The Dispatch to
comment further on the
students’ behavior, but
his email makes refer-
ence to students threaten-
ing school staff and using
“abusive, profane, vulgar
or indecent language.” He
emphasized any student
— or parent — who uses
such language will be es-
corted from campus.
In the email, Peasant
also urges parents to
address their children’s
school behavior at home.
“Remind them of what
is appropriate and what
is not appropriate in the
school setting and warn
them of the consequenc-
es of their actions if they
choose to act with disre-
spect or disruptive behav-
ior,” he says.
Neither AMS Principal
Julie Kennedy nor Assis-
tant Principal Ra’Mon
Forbes returned calls
from The Dispatch by
press time.
The Dispatch has also
requested the number
and nature of complaints
filed with the school re-
source officer at AMS this
school year. The district
has yet to provide that in-
formation.
In an emailed state-
ment to The Dispatch,
SOCSD Public Informa-
tion Officer Nicole Thom-
as said Peasant sent the
email to ensure parents
were aware of and could
address the discipline is-
sues at AMS.
“It was important to

in the letter and to speak

students,” Thomas said.

reminder, but I don’t
know if anything specifi-
cally happened to trigger
that email.”
Brown added behav-
ioral issues at SOCSD —
and specifically AMS —
have prompted the board
to look at revising some
discipline policies within
the district. He said he’s
specifically concerned
that suspending students
doesn’t address disci-
plinary issues.
“Instead of suspend-
ing, maybe try evening
classes,” Brown said.
“We are trying to avoid
sending students home,
because a lot of them
are saying ‘I want to go
home.’ Hopefully we will
have a plan in place for
next school year. They
need to stay in school as
much as they can and as
long as they can.”
Brown said the board
has not taken any action
but hopes to have a new
policy in place before next
school year. He added
school administrators will
visit districts that have
similar programs, such
as evening classes, to see
the logistics and success
of those districts.
“(We are) just trying
to come up with some-
thing better,” Brown said.
“What we are doing is
working to a point, but
everybody loses if the
student is out of class.
It costs us money, costs
them valuable class time
and it reflects back on the
teacher because (they)
can’t teach them if they’re
not there.”
Prince said, in her
opinion, parental involve-
ment would dwindle disci-
pline issues.
“In addition to having
consequences, we also
have to use every teaching
opportunity we have. We
have to also try to identi-
fy why we are seeing in-
appropriate behaviors
and come up with some
effective strategies to
change those behaviors,”
she said. “... In my perfect
kind of world, we would
just continue to have more
community and parent in-
volvement. We don’t have
to wait for things to go
wrong, if more people en-
gaged with the education-
al system on an ongoing
basis and stay informed
on what’s going on.”
Brown agreed with
Prince, claiming parental
involvement was the ma-
jor benefiting factor with
student discipline issues.
“Parents have got to
have that talk (Peasant)
alluded to in the email
and teach their children
what’s appropriate and
what’s inappropriate,”
Brown said. “They need
to respect the teachers
and administrators of a
school system. Parents
have got to set the exam-
ple for their children and
support the administra-
tion and teachers.”
Brown added, while
the majority of parents do
teach respect, those stu-
dents that are “acting out”
create a difficult learning
environment for well-be-
haved students.
“Some of the prob-
lems with children you’re
having today (is) some
of those parents are hav-
ing a tough job because
they are single parents,”
he said. “They don’t have
the adult supervision of
their children in hand;
therefore, they have prob-
lems. It takes the parent
involvement.”

By PAUL D. BOWKER
pbowker@cdispatch.com
Playoff prime time has ar-
rived for the baseball teams
at Heritage Academy and New
Hope High School.
Heritage Academy is just
one win away from knock-
ing off the defending state
champions in the Mississippi
Association of Independent
Schools (MAIS) Class AAA
North playoffs.
The Patriots blanked Indi-
anola Academy 4-0 on Tues-
day in the first game of a best-
of-three series.
Heritage hosts Indianola
at 5 p.m. today. A win by the
Patriots would end the series.
If Indianola wins, the winner-
take-all game would take place
after the 5 p.m. game is over.
Just a few miles to the
south, New Hope will begin
its best-of-three Mississippi
High School Activities Associ-
ation (MHSAA) series against
Amory. First pitch is at 6 p.m.
The Trojans (22-5) will
reach the MHSAA Final Four
in Class 4A with a pair of wins
over Amory.
New Hope reached the
quarterfinals after defeating
rival Caledonia in two straight
games last week, finishing the
job with an 11-8 win Saturday.
Game 2 is at 6 p.m. Friday
at Amora. Game 3 would be
played Saturday at New Hope.
Amory is 15-8. The Pan-
thers advanced with two
straight wins against Rosa
Fort, winning by a combined
26-0.
New Hope has cruised into
the round of eight, piling up
58 runs in its last four games.
The Trojans scored 19 in one
inning against Gentry.

McIlroy: turning age 30?

Oh, that’s just a number
the associated press
CHARLOT TE, N.C.
— Rory McIlroy has two
more rounds before he
leaves his 20s, a state-
ment of fact more than a
state of mind.
For McIlroy, 30 is just a
number he prefers to see
on one side of a scorecard.
“If you shoot 30 on a
nine, you’re doing OK,”
he said Wednesday.
In most other lines of
work, turning 30 is just

been around the highest
level of golf for nearly half
his life.
He played his first Eu-
ropean Tour event nearly
14 years ago at the 2005
British Masters and had
rounds of 82-81 at Forest
of Arden. He turned pro

Finally, it was over.
nnn
Since the season be-
gan in mid-February,
Mangum has fielded end-
less questions about the
hits record. The closer
he got, the more he was
interrogated on the sub-
ject.
No matter if he was
frustrated from defeat or
irritated at yet another
reporter’s query on the
mark, Mangum handled
it all with grace.
He did the same in tri-
umph.
His postgame press
conference opened with a
deep breath and a release
of air. A similar tune to
the sigh he mustered at
first base a few hours pri-
or. Relief had arrived.
“No matter how locked
in you are on the game, no
matter how locked in you
are on the moment, it’s
tough to step in the box
knowing that that’s one
hit away, two hits away,
whatever it is,” Mangum
said. “It’s tough, but just
happy it got over with and
we could lock in and win
a ballgame.”
He also took time to
reflect. Mangum spoke
of MSU first base coach
Luke Alexander, a long-
time friend and team-
mate.
He referenced an MSU
camp in which Alexander
was offered a scholarship
when the two were eighth
graders. It was the same
event former MSU career
hits leader Jeffrey Rea
had pointed to Mangum’s
batting ability in a cage
after the session.
He mentioned his fam-
ily. Mangum loosely al-
luded to their trials and
tribulations, the sacrific-
es they had made to help
him get where he was.
Finally, he was asked
about the day’s game.
“It’s big,” Mangum
said of securing a series
victory over then-No. 4
Georgia. “I knew when
we left Arkansas, we
were fine.”
Things were starting
to normalize.
Following his post-
game presser, an on-
slaught ensued.
Mangum signed au-
tographs for nearly two
hours as fans clambered
down the third base line
to catch a quick brush
with history.
He then took a jog
across the outfield to-
ward the right-center
gap. MSU fans posted in
a box outfitted like a tiki
hut showered Mangum
in champagne.
His lap continued
along the warning track
toward the home dugout.
Onlookers stuck their
hands out for high-fives.
Memorabilia hung over
the field in hopes Mang-
um would sign it. He did

Indians’ Kluber breaks arm

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Corey Klu-
ber got hit hard again,
and the last line drive re-
ally hurt.
The struggling Cleve-
land Indians right-hander
broke his right forearm
when he was hit by a
comebacker during a 4-2
loss to the Miami Marlins
on Wednesday night.
Kluber (2-3) was struck
by Brian Anderson’s liner
in the fifth inning.
“It looked ugly,” Indi-
ans manager Terry Fran-
cona said.
Kluber’s arm was
placed in a cast, and he’ll
be re-evaluated in Cleve-
land on Thursday. The
Indians will have a better
idea at that point of how
long he might be out.
“It stinks, you know?”
teammate Roberto Perez
said. “He’s our ace. We’re
going to miss him.”
The two-time Amer-
ican League Cy Young
Award winner allowed
eight hits and three runs
in 4 2/3 innings, which
left his ERA at 5.80. The
Indians were already
without starter Mike
Clevinger, who is side-
lined until at least June by
a back injury.
Caleb Smith (3-0)
struck out eight in seven
innings to help Miami
stop a four-game slide.
He allowed one run on
Perez’s third homer in the
third inning.
Even for the victors,
Kluber’s injury was a
downer.
“I’m sorry to see that,”
Smith said. “He’s a great
pitcher.”
Anderson’s infield hit
caromed off Kluber, and
the ace’s arm dangled
at his side as he chased
down the ball. He swat-
ted it toward first base
with his glove rather than
throwing it.
“It happened so quick,
I couldn’t tell where he
got hit,” said Perez, the
Indians’ catcher. “I saw
him holding his arm. It
was tough.”
Kluber briefly visited
with a trainer and Franco-
na before walking off the
field.
“Tito kept asking him,
‘How do you feel?’ and
he was just numb,” Perez
said. “At that point you
start thinking the worst.”
The Indians said the
fracture was non-dis-
placed, meaning the bone
was still properly aligned.
GA ME-W INNER
FOR POSEY: A strong
start by Madison Bumgar-
ner followed by a clutch
hit from Buster Posey. It
was like old times again
for the San Francisco Gi-
ants.
Bumgarner held Los
Angeles’ high-powered
lineup in check for six
innings and Posey then
delivered the game-end-
ing single with two outs
in the ninth inning to give
the Giants the series win
with a 2-1 victory over the
Dodgers on Wednesday
night.
“Great game. Just an
all-around great game,”
manager Bruce Bochy
said. “Both sides pitched
so well. It was a hard-
fought game. Great win
for us.”
The Giants haven’t had
many of them early this
season, so getting a per-
formance like this against
their rival was gratifying.
Especially since Bumgar-
ner bounced back from a
rough outing last week
against the Yankees by
controlling the Dodgers
with his best fastball he’s
had all year.
“I’ve been feeling
close but just a touch off,”
Bumgarner said. “All year
it’s felt like it’s right there
but not quite what I’m
looking for. Been study-
ing stuff and trying to try
different things to get to
where I want to be which
in my mind is a perfect de-
livery.”
It wasn’t enough to get
him a win because Dodg-
ers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu
was just as stingy, allow-
ing only one run in eight
innings. So it took until
the bullpens came in for
this game to be decided.

Fried on target again for Braves in 5-1 win over San Diego
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Max Fried has
emerged as a force in Atlanta’s
rotation, in part because he
doesn’t issue many walks.
The same strength helped
Josh Tomlin preserve Fried’s
latest win.
Fried gave up one run in
seven innings, Dansby Swan-
son homered and drove in
three runs and the Braves beat
the San Diego Padres 5-1 on
Wednesday night to spoil Cal
Quantrill’s major league debut.
Fried (4-1) allowed four hits
with no walks in his longest ca-
reer start and lowered his ERA
to 2.11. He had seven strikeouts
and recovered after giving up a
fourth-inning homer to Manny
Machado.
It was the third start — and
second straight — without
a walk for Fried this season.
Braves starters have walked at
least one batter in every other
game.
“The game plan was to try to
throw strikes with all my pitch-
es and really just be on the at-
tack,” Fried said.
Fried acknowledged he was
“a little juiced up” in his first
career start against San Diego,
the team that made him the No.
7 overall pick in the 2012 draft.
The left-hander was traded to
Atlanta as part of the 2014 deal
that sent outfielder Justin Up-
ton to San Diego.
“He’s fun to watch,” said
Charlie Culberson, who singled
and scored in Atlanta’s three-
run seventh. “You see him and
he’s so easy. His mechanics are
smooth.”
The Braves led 2-1 before
scoring three runs in the sev-
enth off Luis Perdomo. Ronald
Acuña Jr. drove in Culberson
from third base with a pinch-hit
infield single as catcher Fran-
cisco Mejia dropped Machado’s
throw when shifting to make
the tag. Swanson followed with
a two-run homer.
The Padres loaded the bas-
es against Jacob Webb with no
outs in the eighth but couldn’t
score. Tomlin fielded Franmil
Reyes’ weak grounder on the
mound and threw to the plate
to force Ian Kinsler for the first
out. Tomlin then struck out
Machado and Hunter Renfroe.
“There’s no situation that
fazes him,” Braves manager
Brian Snitker said of Tomlin. “If
they hit him, they hit him, but
he’s going to get it over.”
Quantrill (0-1) overcame a
shaky first inning to give up
two runs on six hits and one
walk in 5 2/3 innings. The son
of former major league pitcher
Paul Quantrill and a 2016 first-
round draft pick, Quantrill was
called up from Triple-A El Paso
before the game.
Atlanta’s first three batters
against Quantrill hit the ball
hard. Ozzie Albies hit a triple to
right field and scored on Swan-
son’s long fly ball. Freddie Free-
man added an opposite-field
double past Renfroe in left field
but was stranded on second
base.
Acuña had been 3 for 19 in
the homestand and was rested
before his pinch-hit single. He
stayed in the game.
Left-hander A.J. Minter,
whose recent struggles threat-
ened to cost him the closer’s
job, pitched a perfect ninth in a
non-save situation.
TRAINER’S ROOM:
Braves 3B Josh Donaldson was
held out for the second straight
day with right calf soreness.
Snitker said Donaldson was bet-
ter and “hopefully” will start on
Thursday. ... CF Ender Inciarte
(tightness in right hamstring)
started after being limited to
pinch-hitting on Tuesday night.

Where you want to be is not so
different from where you stand,
but great courage is still needed
to rise up and make the few key
changes necessary to get there.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Maybe it’s not fair that people
expect more of you than they do
of others, but it’s only because
you keep doing such a fantastic
job, raising that bar to new
levels.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Happy relationships seem to
come so easily to some. Then
again, who really knows? Every-
one has a public and private
face. The only way to really find
out what’s going on in the inside
of a relationship is to tend to
your own.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Clutter isn’t just a little mess to
be cleaned up whenever; it’s a
representation of disorder and
wonky alignment. Cleaning it up,
even a little, will cause seeming-
ly unrelated and magical good
fortune.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’re starting to think of things
in their broader context. You’re
seeing how they relate and
affect their environment, what
they are connected to and what
they cannot do without. New
insights come from this big-pic-
ture thinking.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Ask a scientist — the act of
observing changes what’s
observed. You can’t interact
without influencing the situa-
tion. But with a quiet, neutral
approach, you might glimpse
the version that was there
before you arrived.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). One way to stop worrying is
to write things down. Make lists.
Make a list of things you can
control about the situation and,
just to remind yourself, another
list of things you can’t.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You made your choice. Or
did you? It felt like a semiauto-
matic response to your environ-
ment motivated by basic human
needs like survival, identity and
belonging. Can you really be
credited or blamed for that?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Like an elevator in a high
rise, you have many buttons to
push. And people who push a
lot of buttons are going to have
a very slow ride to where they
need to go.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Because you’re so cre-
ative, you can make sense of
the illogical, find links between
seemingly unrelated things and
weave together disparate ideas
— all skills that will serve you
well over the next three days.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’re not always inclined
toward the spiritual advice to
meditate, pray or seek enlight-
enment. There are practical
ways to get to the same place.
Anything that helps you grow
as a person also expands your
spirit.
