Trump Facebook ads use models
to portray actual supporters
Videos include disclaimers that say
‘actual testimonial, actor portrayal’
By BERNARD CONDON
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A series
of Facebook video ads for
President Donald Trump’s
re-election campaign shows
what appears to be a young
woman strolling on a beach
in Florida, a Hispanic man
on a city street in Texas and
a bearded hipster in a coffee
shop in Washington, D.C.,
all making glowing, voice-
over endorsements of the
president.
“I could not ask for a bet-
ter president,” intones the
voice during slow-motion
footage of the smiling blonde
called “Tracey from Flori-
da.” A man labeled on anoth-
er video as “AJ from Texas”
stares into the camera as a
voice says, “Although I am a
lifelong Democrat, I sincere-
ly believe that a nation must
secure its borders.”
There’s just one problem:
The people in the videos that
ran in the past few months
are all actually models in
stock video footage pro-
duced far from the U.S. in
France, Brazil and Turkey,
and available to anyone on-
line for a fee.
Though the 20-second
videos include tiny disclaim-
ers that say “actual testimo-
nial, actor portrayal,” they

campaign that can fill arenas
with supporters would have
to buy stock footage of mod-
els. It’s a practice that, under
different circumstances,
Trump himself would likely
blast as “fake news.”
Trump campaign of-
ficials declined repeated
requests for comment on
Tuesday. Political experts
say that, while it’s not unusu-
al for stock footage to find its
way into ads, a presidential
campaign should have been
more careful.
“As a producer, you want
to control — you want peo-
ple to look a certain way and
you want them to sound a
certain way,” said Jay New-
ell, a former cable TV exec-
utive who teaches advertis-
ing at Iowa State University.
“The fact that the footage is
from outside the U.S. makes
it that much more embar-
rassing.”
There are plenty exam-
ples of such gaffes. In the
last presidential primaries,
Republican Sen. Marco Ru-
bio ran an ad titled “Morn-
ing in America” with shots

Gov. Jeb Bush put ads on TV

Administration moves to ease
drive-time rules for truckers
Highway safety advocates warn the changes
would dangerously weaken regulations, resulting
in truckers putting in even longer days at a time
when they say driver fatigue is a serious problem
By RICHARD LARDNER
The Associated Press
OPAL, Va. — Truck driver Luc-
son Francois was forced to hit the
brakes just five minutes from his
home in Pennsylvania.
He’d reached the maximum
number of hours in a day he’s
allowed to be on duty. Francois
couldn’t leave the truck unattend-
ed. So he parked and climbed into
the sleeper berth in the back of the
cab. Ten hours would have to pass
before he could start driving again.
“You don’t want even a one-min-
ute violation,” said Francois, a
39-year-old Haitian immigrant, re-
calling his dilemma during a break
at a truck stop in this small cross-
roads town southwest of Washing-
ton.
The Transportation Department
is moving to relax the federal reg-
ulations that required Francois to
pull over, a long sought goal of the
trucking industry and a move that
would highlight its influence with
the Trump administration. Interest
groups that represent motor carri-
ers and truck drivers have lobbied
for revisions they say would make
the rigid “hours of service” rules
more flexible.
Driver fatigue
But highway safety advocates
are warning the contemplated
changes would dangerously weak-
en the regulations, resulting in
truckers putting in even longer
days at a time when they say driver
fatigue is such a serious problem.
They point to new government data
that shows fatal crashes involving
trucks weighing as much as 80,000
pounds have increased.
“I think flexibility is a code
word for deregulation,” said Cathy
Chase, president of Advocates for
Highway and Auto Safety, an alli-
ance of insurance companies and
consumer, public health and safety
groups. She said the hours of ser-
vice requirements, which permit
truckers to drive up to 11 hours
each day, are already “exceedingly
liberal in our estimation.”
There were 4,657 large trucks
involved in fatal crashes in 2017, a
10 percent increase from the year
before, according to a May report
issued by the Federal Motor Carri-
er Safety Administration, an agency
of the Transportation Department.
Sixty of the truckers in these acci-
dents were identified as “asleep or
fatigued,” although the National
Transportation Safety Board has
said this type of driver impairment
is likely underreported on police
crash forms.
The NTSB has declared fatigue
a “pervasive problem” in all forms
of transportation and added reduc-
ing fatigue-related accidents to its
2019-2020 “most wanted list “ of
safety improvements. A ground-
breaking study by the Transpor-
tation Department more than a
decade ago reported 13 percent of
truck drivers involved in crashes
that resulted in fatalities or injuries
were fatigued at the time of the ac-
cidents.
Regulatory oversight
The trucking industry has de-
veloped a strong relationship with
President Donald Trump, who
has made rolling back layers of
regulatory oversight a top priori-
ty. At least a dozen transportation
safety rules under development
or already adopted were repealed,
withdrawn, delayed or put on the
back burner during Trump’s first
year in office.
“First of all, this administration
is not as aggressive as the prior,”
said Bill Sullivan, the top lobbyist
for the powerful American Truck-
ing Associations, whose members
include the nation’s largest motor
carriers and truck manufacturing
companies. “Most importantly,
the partnership with them has not
been as suspicious of industry as in
the past.”

Defenders of vegan bacon sue Mississippi over labeling law

Lawsuit: State is violating free-speech
rights by banning makers of plant-based
foods from using terms such as ‘meatless
meatballs’ and ‘vegan bacon’
By EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A federal
lawsuit says Mississippi is vi-
olating free-speech rights by
banning makers of plant-based
foods from using terms such as
“meatless meatballs” and “veg-
an bacon.”
The lawsuit against Mis-
sissippi Republican Gov. Phil
Bryant and the state’s Republi-
can agriculture commissioner,
Andy Gipson, was filed Monday
by the Plant Based Foods Asso-
ciation and the Illinois-based
Upton’s Naturals Co., which
makes vegan products and sells
them in many states, including
Mississippi. It was filed the
same day Mississippi enacted a
new law that declares “a plant-
based or insect-based food
product shall not be labeled as
meat or a meat food product.”
“The ban serves only to cre-
ate consumer confusion where
none previously existed,” says
the lawsuit, which is backed by
Institute for Justice, a free-mar-
ket advocacy group based in
Virginia.
A similar food labeling law-
suit was filed in Missouri last
year by the Oregon-based To-
furky Co., which makes vege-
tarian food products, and the
Good Food Institute, a Wash-
ington, D.C.-based nonprofit
that advocates for alternatives
to meat. A Missouri law made
it a misdemeanor to label plant-
based products as meat.
Producers of beef, poultry,
pork and lamb have been push-
ing to protect meat terminolo-
gy as companies develop more
plant-based products that look
and taste similar to meat.
The Good Food Institute
says 12 states have enacted
what it calls “meat label cen-
sorship” laws. In addition to
Mississippi and Missouri, the
states are Alabama, Arkansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mon-
tana, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, South Dakota
and Wyoming.
The Louisiana measure
signed by Democratic Gov.
John Bel Edwards prohibits
veggie products from being
called meat, non-rice products
from being described as rice
and sugar alternatives from
being marketed as sugar. It be-
comes law in October 2020.
The chairman of the Missis-
sippi Senate Agriculture Com-
mittee, Republican Billy Hud-
son of Hattiesburg, was chief
sponsor of the meat labeling
legislation. He said the state
agriculture department and the
Mississippi Cattlemen’s Asso-
ciation pushed for it because of
concerns that consumers could
be misled. The Mississippi law
also says food produced using
animal tissue cultured in a lab-
oratory may not be labeled as
meat.
“They tell me that fake steak
looks just like our real meat,”
Hudson told The Associated
Press on Monday. He said if
a consumer sees two similar
products side by side, they
could think they’re getting
meat when they’re not.
“I don’t want to eat meat
grown by a test tube in a labora-
tory,” Hudson said. “If my con-
stituents do, they ought to know
what they’re getting.”
Mississippi’s agriculture
commissioner said Tuesday
that he looks forward to defend-
ing the law.
“A food product made of
insect-protein should not be
deceptively labeled as beef,”
Gipson said. “Someone looking
to purchase tofu should not be
tricked into buying lab-grown
animal protein.”
The lawsuit in Mississippi
says that Upton’s Naturals does
not make meat products but
does use terms such as “vegan
burgers,” “vegan bacon” and
“vegan chorizo.”
“These terms, as used by
Upton’s Naturals, increase con-
sumer understanding of the
foods’ characteristics and com-
municate how the foods should
be prepared and eaten,” the law-
suit says.
The Plant Based Foods Asso-
ciation says in the lawsuit that
“no reasonable consumer would
be misled” by terms such as
“meatless steaks” and “vegan
jerky.”
Jessica Almy, policy director
for the Good Food Institute, said
the food labeling restrictions
in Mississippi should be over-
turned: “This law is a tremen-
dous overstep of state powers
and is really just a sad attempt
to censor veggie burgers.”

WASHINGTON — President
Donald Trump marshaled tanks,
bombers and other machinery of
war on Tuesday for a Fourth of July
celebration that traditionally is light

cused him of using America’s mili-
tary as a political prop.

the Pentagon was scrambling to ar-
range for an Air Force B-2 stealth
bomber and other warplanes to

Trump, casting the extravagan-
za as a “Salute to America,” tweet-
ed on Tuesday that military leaders
are “thrilled” to participate. If so,
they were hiding it well. Pentagon
officials referred questions to the
White House. Military officials
would not even say on the record
whether Gen. Joseph Dunford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, plans to attend.
“Military Leaders are thrilled
to be doing this & showing to the
American people, among other
things, the strongest and most ad-
vanced Military anywhere in the
World,” Trump tweeted. “Incred-
ible Flyovers & biggest ever Fire-
works!”
“This is raw politicization,”
countered Loren Dejonge Schul-
man, a senior fellow at the Center
for a New American Security and a
Pentagon and White House official
during the Obama administration.
She said in an email exchange that
Trump’s use of the military appears
to be less about honoring the men
and women serving in uniform than
about trying to “brag to and humor”
his political cronies.
Rep. Betty McCollum com-
plained, “Mr. Trump is hijacking
the celebration and twisting it into a
taxpayer-funded, partisan political
rally that’s more about promoting
a Trumpian cult of personality than
the spirit of American indepen-
dence and freedom.” The Minneso-
ta Democrat, who chairs the Inte-
rior Appropriations subcommittee,
said the Interior Department and
the Pentagon have not answered
multiple requests for details on how
much the event will cost.
White House officials sought to
counter the criticism by stressing
that the president would deliver a
patriotic speech at the Lincoln Me-
morial during an event that he has
billed as honoring the U.S. armed
forces.
The administration undercut its
own assertion of it being a nonpo-
litical event, however, when senior
presidential adviser Kellyanne Con-
way said the speech will highlight
“the success of this administration
in opening up so many jobs for in-
dividuals, what we’ve done for vet-
erans,” in addition to celebrating
democracy, patriotism and the mil-
itary.
‘All Democrats just raised their

American Citizens first!? That’s
the end of that race!’
President Donald Trump via Twitter during last
week’s Democratic presidential debate
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In one unanimous show of
hands, Democratic presidential candidates moved
to the mainstream the idea of full health insurance
for people who don’t have legal permission to be in
the United States.
But turning that debate night moment into real-
ity would mean reversing longstanding federal pol-
icies that have only gotten stricter. The idea is so
new that independent experts say they don’t have
a reliable cost estimate. Politically, it wouldn’t hap-
pen without a pitched battle.
President Donald Trump, doubling down on
tough immigration policies as he seeks a second
term, all but thanked the 10 Democrats on the de-
bate stage last Thursday in Miami.
“All Democrats just raised their hands for giving
millions of illegal aliens unlimited healthcare,” he
wrote on Twitter. “How about taking care of Ameri-
can Citizens first!? That’s the end of that race!”
Health coverage for people without legal per-
mission to be in the country has mainly been a de-
mand from the political left, echoed by some public

Big business to Supreme Court:

Defend LGBTQ people from bias
Justices will hear oral arguments on Oct. 8 on three
cases that may determine whether gays, lesbians
and transgender people are protected from
discrimination by existing federal civil rights laws
By DAVID CR ARY
AP National Writer
NEW YORK — More than 200
corporations, including many of
America’s best-known companies,
are urging the U.S. Supreme Court
to rule that federal civil rights law
bans job discrimination on the ba-
sis of sexual orientation and gender
identity.
The corporations outlined their
stance in a legal brief released
Tuesday by a coalition of five
LGBTQ rights groups. The brief
is being submitted to the Supreme
Court this week ahead of oral argu-
ments before the justices on Oct. 8
on three cases that may determine
whether gays, lesbians and trans-
gender people are protected from
discrimination by existing federal
civil rights laws.
Among the 206 corporations
endorsing the brief were Amazon,
American Airlines, Bank of Amer-
ica, Ben & Jerry’s, Coca-Cola,
Domino’s Pizza, Goldman Sachs,
IBM, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley,
Nike, Starbucks, Viacom, the Walt
Disney Co. and Xerox. Two major
league baseball teams, the San
Francisco Giants and the Tampa
Bay Rays, were among the group.
In their brief, the companies ar-
gued that a uniform federal rule is
needed to protect LGBTQ employ-
ees equally in all 50 states.
“Even where companies volun-
tarily implement policies to prohib-
it sexual orientation or gender iden-
tity discrimination, such policies
are not a substitute for the force of
law,” the brief argued. “Nor is the
patchwork of incomplete state or lo-
cal laws sufficient protection — for
example, they cannot account for
the cross-state mobility require-
ments of the modern workforce.”
Such friend-of-the-court briefs
are routinely submitted by interest-
ed parties ahead of major Supreme
Court hearings. The extent to
which they might sway justices is
difficult to assess, but in this case
it’s an effective way for the corpora-
tions to affirm support for LGBTQ
employees.
Federal appeals courts in Chi-
cago and New York have ruled re-
cently that gay and lesbian employ-
ees are entitled to protection from
discrimination; the federal appeals
court in Cincinnati has extended
similar protections for transgender
people.
The question now is whether
the Supreme Court will follow suit,
given its conservative majority
strengthened by President Donald
Trump’s appointments of Neil Gor-
such and Brett Kavanaugh. The
three cases are the court’s first on
LGBTQ rights since the retirement
last year of Justice Anthony Ken-
nedy, who authored landmark gay
rights opinions.
The Obama administration
had supported treating LGBTQ
discrimination claims as sex dis-
crimination, but the Trump admin-
istration has changed course. The
Trump Justice Department has ar-
gued that the federal Civil Rights
Act of 1964 was not intended to pro-
vide protections to gay or transgen-
der workers.
The companies signing the brief
represent more than 7 million em-
ployees and $5 trillion in annual
revenue, according to the Human
Rights Campaign, the largest of the
LGBTQ rights groups organizing
the initiative.

Our View
Starkville remains responsive to annexation concerns
For almost two years now,
the city of Starkville has made
known its desire to annex
portions of the county, most
notably on the east side of town.
Those effort appear to be
drawing near completion now.
Tuesday, the city held its
second public hearing on the
annexation plans, but resis-
tance remains among some res-
idents who live within the city’s
plan, which has been redrawn
several times.
Tuesday, the board present-
ed another change, this one
eliminating most of University
Estates from the plan after
a groundswell of opposition
emerged during a June pubic
hearing.
That did not mean the end of
opposition, however.
Residents used the public
hearing to voice their displea-
sure on a variety of fronts,
from having to comply with
city codes and ordinances, to
having to pay city taxes, to con-
cerns over how the annexation
would affect voting (the new
plan would reduce black voting
strength by roughly 100 vot-
ers), to the recollection of the
city’s last annexation (in 1998)
when some city services that
were to accompany annexation
were greatly delayed.
Left unsaid, for the most
part, is that some people just
don’t want to live in the city and
made a conscious decision to
live outside the city limits.
It would be wrong for anyone
to simply dismiss those con-
cerns out of hand.
Yet growth comes and with
it, growing pains.
Unlike 1998, the planned
annexation this time affects a
smaller, more densely devel-
oped area, which should mean
the city would be able to put in
places the services that come
with annexation in a more time-
ly manner.
The city said it plans to add
police officers, street work-
ers and equipment needed to
insure those residents have the
services their city tax dollars
will support.
Strategically, the areas in the
plan represent the area where
growth is most likely. They are
both major entry points into the
city, and it’s understandable
why the city would want some
say in how that development
occurs. From the east, these
areas are the “front door” to the
city. Starkville has a direct vest-
ed interest in the area’s future.
The city has shown that it
is responsive to residents, as
evidenced by its decision to
remove University Estates from
the plan at Tuesday’s meeting.
But there is one thing that
is absolutely certain with any
annexation plan anywhere:
There will not be 100 percent
acceptance.
The city will again hold a
public hearing on the new plans
on Aug. 2. Citizens again will
have an opportunity to raise
any relevant issues and, based
on what we’ve seen so for, the
mayor and aldermen will listen.
As the city has shown, there
remains room for compromise
and adjustments.
It has been a fair process to
date. We expect it to remain so.

Election 2020

Biden remains the

Dem to beat Trump
During the Thursday
debate, Kamala Harris went
straight for Joe Biden’s jugular
over his alleged failures on
race matters. The day after,
however, Keisha Lance Bot-
toms, the black mayor of argu-
ably America’s blackest city,
Atlanta, endorsed Biden for
the Democratic nomination.
And according to The Daily
Beast, a Democracy Corps poll
had Biden’s favorability with Froma Harrop
African Americans up by net
18 percent after the debate.
What gives? Didn’t the Twitter left just declare that
Harris had eviscerated Biden? As usual, it interpret-
ed events according to its own assumptions — and
reporters, as usual, ran with the story being told in the
loudest voices.
In endorsing Biden, Bottoms cited his experience

the attacks on Biden for having worked with avowed
racists in the Senate.

Coyotes
Continued from Page 1A
“I’m aware of this prob-
lem,” Gavin said Tues-
day. “There are a lot of
coyotes running around
in that area. Some peo-
ple have called me and
asked about shooting
them themselves. I told
them it’s against the law
to (shoot a) firearm in the
city limits. This looks like
a solution to that.”
Shelton said, to his
knowledge, Columbus
has not had an issue like
this in the past. Gavin,
on the other hand, said
he gets similar calls each
spring.
“I know people are
afraid to let the pets out,”
Gavin said. “As those coy-
otes come more and more
into the city they get a lit-
tle bit braver. I think it’s
time to move. It’s a good
thing.”
With citizens asking
to shoot the pests them-
selves, Gavin said he is
glad the state department
is coming in and taking
action.
“I understand their
needs and concerns, but
all it takes is one child
getting shot,” Gavin said.
“It’s not worth it. I can’t
support that. I can support
the wildlife commission
because they are licensed
and trained and won’t do
harm to citizens.”
Speaking to The Dis-
patch after the meeting,
Shelton attributed the
coyote problem to urban
sprawl.
“With all the commer-
cial buildings and homes,
we are taking away their
natural habitats,” Shelton
said. “We are pushing
them closer into the city.
... Small cats and small
dogs have come up miss-
ing. People have seen
(coyotes) in the city. Gen-
erally they don’t attack
people, but as they start
infringing more, they’ll
get closer to people and
that was the concern.”
Though Allison Perri-
gin lives in Ward 3, a few
miles east of Holly Hills
and Cady Hills, she said
her 5-year-old cat Fluffy
narrowly survived a re-
cent attack by two coy-
otes.
“He had a scratch from
what could have been
teeth with ants all over it,”
Perrigin said. “I brought
him inside, cleaned him
up and noticed that there
were more spots. One was
opened up and you could
see what the vet said was
probably a muscle.”
Though Fluffy was
lucky and will now remain
an inside cat permanent-
ly, Perrigin said she’s
worried with the coyotes
in the city limits other
pet-owners may not be as
lucky.
“Someone’s pet could
be attacked just like mine
and they could lose them
forever,” Perrigin said.
“Luckily mine was able to
hide under cars and sur-
vive. ... I don’t have kids,
so Fluffy is like my child.
I would lose my mind if
something happened to
him.”

Aldermen
Continued from Page 1A
changes, followed by a
third public hearing at its
regular board meeting on
Aug. 2.
Slaughter outlined how
the changes would affect
the city in terms of expen-
ditures for services and
potential revenue the an-
nexation would create. He
estimated that by Year 5,
the city would net rough-
ly an additional $200,000
per year in ad valorem
and sales tax revenue.
“In my opinion, doing
this for almost 30 years,
this is a reasonable an-
nexation and financially
feasible as well,” Slaugh-
ter told the board.
That did little to soothe
the emotions of many who
again filled the board
chambers to express their
opposition to the annex-
ation. Residents and prop-
erty owners voiced oppo-
sition on several grounds,
including coming under
the city’s code enforce-
ment regulations, the
added cost of city taxes
and how the annexation
might dilute black voting
strength in the city.
Vice Mayor Roy A.
Perkins, who represents
Ward 6, also asked why
University Estates was
not entirely eliminated
from the new plan.
Parts of University Es-
tates along Old Mayhew
Road and Edinburgh re-
main in the annexation
area.
“One of the main rea-
sons that stands out the
most is from the pub-
lic safety standpoint,”
Slaughter said. “Along
those areas, which front
the annexed area, having
both sides of the street
make it clear for police
that this is in their juris-
diction. It’s very com-
mon to include frontage
in these annexations for
public safety.”
Residents who attend-
ed the meeting whose
property is located in the
annexation area remained
opposed, some bitterly so.
“I wonder why you
don’t understand why
these people don’t want to
be a part of the city,” said
Carl Ivy, a statement that
drew applause from the
audience. “The citizens
are overlooked.”
“The city annexed
another portion of the
county 21 years ago and
still hasn’t done all that’s
been needed to do there,”
he added. “And the way
you’ve drawn it up, it’s the
definition of gerryman-
dering, drawing crazy
lines to bring us in. It’s
nothing but a land grab
to take my tax dollars and
spend it in other parts of
the city.”
Jim Chrisman said the
annexation could dilute
black voting strength.
“In the annexed area,
the shift in the popula-
tion would decrease the
margin of black voters
by about 100 people,”
Chrisman said. “I would
remind you that the last
election was decided by
less than 10 votes. This is
a real concern.”
James Chamberlain
was an exception, citing
his support for the annex-
ation.
“I’m actually in support
of annexation, generally,”
he said. “I firmly believe
that we need to expand
the tax base to provide
the services everyone en-
joys. I doubt there is any
resident in these areas
who has not used city ser-
vices of some kind.
“At the moment, I en-
joy those benefits without
paying my fair share for
the services I enjoy and
without any say in what
happens as a voter,” he
added. “There’s a lot to be
said in favor of this.”
Criticisms of 1998
annexation
Ward 7 Alderman Hen-
ry Vaughn, along with
Perkins, appeared to re-
main opposed to the an-
nexation effort.
“What these people
are saying is that you’re
just going
to take
their prop-
erty and
do nothing
for them,”
Va u gh n
said. “I can’t
see forcing Vaughn
it on them if
they don’t want it. There’s
been too much not com-
pleted from the 1998 an-
nexation for me to stick
my neck out for this.”
The 1998 annexation
added 10 miles to the city,
mostly undeveloped land
to the north and west.
Some residents in that
area still don’t have sewer
service and instead use
septic tanks. But Spruill
previously told The Dis-
patch that all the ser-
vices those residents are
paying for — police, fire,
access to the courts, vot-
ing, planning and zoning,
parks, etc. — are being
provided.
Ward 1 Alderman Ben
Carver, considered to be
the swing vote on the mat-
ter, appeared to move to-
ward annexation based on
the latest changes.
“When I look at the
map and the original plan
to where we
are tonight,
I’m much
more com-
fortable
with the
idea,” Carv-
er said.
“One of Carver
the things
this would allow us to do
is have every major en-
try point into the city be
in the city limits. I think
those are the areas where
you are going to see de-
velopment and long-term
growth. And from the
size of what we’re adding,
I believe the city would be
easily able to accommo-
date the things that every
citizen should expect.”

Mental health
Continued from Page 1A
The Justice Depart-
ment argues that all these
offenses are violations of
the U.S. Supreme Court’s
1999 Olmstead decision,
which found that unjusti-
fied confinement in a men-
tal institution is illegal.
The state, though, said
the Justice Department
concedes that Mississip-
pi has community-based
services, but argues that
they’re just not good
enough. The state says
that’s not an Olmstead
violation and presents no
clear standard for Reeves
to rule on.
“Is there any jurispru-
dence anywhere that de-
scribes enough?” asked
lawyer Reuben Anderson.
“I would say to your honor,
there is no standard in law
or anywhere else about
enough.”
Shelson said Missis-
sippi wasn’t being given
enough credit for what
it has accomplished. He
also argued that the fed-
eral government wants to
impose such an expensive
set of programs that it
would qualify as a “funda-
mental alteration” of Mis-
sissippi’s system, which
the Olmstead decision
says the federal govern-
ment can’t impose.
The state lawyer ar-
gued that the more that
the federal government
demanded “the stronger
the state’s fundamental al-
teration defense,” Shelson
said.
The Justice Depart-
ment counters that Mis-
sissippi could afford more
services if it filed more
claims with the state-fed-
eral Medicaid insurance
program, and argued that
appeals courts have ruled
since Olmstead that a
state needs a working plan
to assert a fundamental al-
teration defense.
“No plan exists in Mis-
sissippi, much less one
that’s comprehensive
and effectively working,”
Holkins said.
Shelson closed by say-
ing Mississippi just needs
more time to make prog-
ress on its own.
“What this case really
about, your honor, is the
pace of change,” he said.
But the federal lawyers
rejected that argument,
saying the state was barely
moving until the trial grew
near and that people are
suffering unnecessarily.
“Time is certainly one
thing the state has already
had plenty of, yet the state
asks for a little more,” Jus-
tice Department lawyer Re-
gan Rush said. “Yet time is
running out for the people
in this case.”

Gray searching for first win in USCS this year

Points leader: ‘I’m second-placing them to death’
By DAVID MILLER
Special to The Dispatch
Friday could be a night of firsts for
sprint car driver Terry Gray.
The Bartlett, Tennessee native is
searching for his first win of the sea-
son on the United Sprint Car Series and
his first-ever win at Magnolia Motor
Speedway, which will host the USCS 360
sprints Friday night.
Remarkably, Gray holds a 166-point
edge over Johnny Bridges in the USCS
standings. He said he’s “been close” to
reaching victory lane this season.
“I’m second-placing them to death,”
Gray said. “Just doing it with consisten-
cy.”
Gray has embodied that consistency
for the USCS for more than 20 years —
11 of his 18 career points championships
have come on the series. He cites his ap-
proach to racing smart and saving equip-
ment as the most significant factor in be-
ing successful through his 44th year of
competitive racing.
“We’ll run close to 70 races each year,
and, like the old saying goes, ‘You have
to first finish to finish first,’” Gray said.
“I’m not saying I’ll ever lay over to run
second, but we have to consistently run
top three or five to keep the ship going,
and when your car is capable of winning
that night, you push it a little harder.”

‘I feel like this team just has had so much thrown
at us, and I felt that we didn’t take the easy route
to the final this tournament, and that’s the tea.’
United States’ Alex Morgan after hitting her goal
The Associated Press
LYON, France — With Alex
Morgan’s cheeky tea-sipping cele-
bration and a postgame mobbing
of goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, the
United States has moved a step
closer to successfully defending its
latest Women’s World Cup title.
Morgan scored the go-ahead
goal and Naeher preserved the
2-1 semifinal victory over England
by smothering a late penalty kick
Tuesday night.
The top-ranked United States
will now face the winner of Wednes-
day’s semifinal between the Neth-
erlands and Sweden in the Ameri-
cans’ third straight appearance in
the World Cup title match.
Christen Press — who started
with Megan Rapinoe out with a
hamstring injury — put the United
States up early but Ellen White’s
goal tied it before 20 minutes had
passed. Morgan’s sixth goal of the
tournament came before the break,
and on her 30th birthday. She
hadn’t had a goal since she scored
five in the team’s 13-0 rout of Thai-
land to open the tournament.
After her goal, Morgan panto-
mimed a sip of tea on the field.
“I feel like this team just has had
so much thrown at us, and I felt that
we didn’t take the easy route to the
final this tournament, and that’s the
tea,” she said.
White’s goal was also her sixth
but Morgan has the edge for the
tournament’s Golden Boot with
three assists. White appeared to
score her seventh in the 69th min-
ute but video review determined
she was offside — and the Ameri-
cans in the crowd of 53,512 at Stade
de Lyon roared.
Another video review went
against the United States late in the
game when it determined Becky
Sauerbrunn had fouled White in

Baseball will announce a final 24-
man roster to compete in the 43rd
USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Cerantola
Series from July 16-21 in Japan.
This marks the first time in
program history that multiple student-athletes
have made the USA Baseball Collegiate National
Team and give Mississippi State 11 total Diamond
Dawgs to wear the Red, White and Blue.
Mississippi State’s history with the Collegiate
National Team began with Will Clark in 1984
and Brad Hildreth in 1986. In all, nine MSU stu-
dent-athletes have represented Team USA on
10 occasions as a part of the Collegiate National
Team. More recently, Adam Frazier (2012) and
Konnor Pilkington (2017) were participants.
Cerantola will be making his first appearance
on Baseball Canada’s Senior National Team, after
making the Junior National Team (U18) on nine
occasions from 2017-18, including 2017 Baseball
World Cup and each of the extended spring train-
ing and fall instructional leagues. The right-hand-

At the final whistle, the
team mobbed Naeher in
front of the goal in cele-
bration. Rapinoe gave her
a bear hug.
The mild-mannered
goalkeeper was asked af-
terward if it was the big-
gest save of her life. “Prob-
ably up there, yeah,” she
said smiling.
“It’s a special team and
everybody fought hard to-
night for all 90 minutes.
Players on the field, play-
ers on the bench, ready to
come in and make differ-
ences,” Naeher said. “Ob-
viously Christen coming
in and starting tonight and
scoring a great goal was
huge for us. And I think
it’s just a testament to the
team.”
The Americans have
been to the semifinals

Gray said the USCS is
as strong as it’s ever been,
both in the quality of rac-
ing and driver participa-
tion, and the number of
races they run each year.
He credited rules chang-
es for minimum weight
and spec tires for improv-
ing the racing over the
last 10 years and making
it easier for USCS regu-
lars to race on other se-
ries and meet their rules.
He expects a strong turn-
out Friday.
“We get a lot of early
season followings out of
people like Tony Stewart
and guys up north that
aren’t racing yet,” Gray
said. “When we started
off in Florida, we had a
stellar field of 20 guys
that can win any night.
USCS has been around
for over 20 years, but
that’s helped bring some

already looking ahead —
even to next year.
“My first thought was,
‘How do we win on Sat-
urday,’ and my second
thought was, ‘How do we
win the Olympics?’” he
said.
The United States has
won 11 straight World
Cup matches and is unde-
feated in its last 16. With
the quarterfinal victory
in France, the Americans
tied Norway’s record win-
ning streak set over the
1995 and 1999 tourna-
ments.
The Americans have
exuded confidence since
arriving in France. After
pouncing on Thailand
13-0 in the opener and
celebrating each goal in
the rout, they beat neme-

ousted the United States
in the quarterfinals at the
2016 Olympics. And Rapi-
noe struck a victorious
pose in a 2-1 quarterfinal
victory over France on Fri-
day night in Paris.
Rapinoe suffered a mi-
nor hamstring injury late
in the second half against
France, which she said
she didn’t expect would
keep her out of the final.
Coach Jill Ellis said there
was an outside chance
that she could have tak-
en a penalty if the match
against England had come
to that.
England started Car-

Foscue played two
positions on the infield
during the 2019 cam-

at third base and 36 starts

At 60, Gray said he’s as
motivated and driven to
run winged sprints as he
was 40 years ago, though
some of the maintenance

than they used to.”
“Racing is what I’ve

“It’s how I make a living.

outs in both of the team’s
knockout round match-
es. Telford started in the
team’s group stage match
against Argentina.
England had shut out
its last four opponents but
the United States attacked
early as expected — the
Americans have scored
within the first 15 minutes
of all of their games in
France.
Press delivered first,
scoring on a header off
a long cross from Kelley
O’Hara that sailed over
Telford’s outstretched
arm. It was Press’ first
goal in France, and her
second World Cup goal
overall.
Shortly thereafter,
Beth Mead served the ball
to White, who got between
the U.S. center backs for
the finish to pull England
even. White raised her
hands to her face for her
customary “glasses” cele-
bration.
The United States
pulled ahead when Lind-
sey Horan found Morgan
in front of the net for the
header. It was Morgan’s
107th international goal,
moving her into a tie for
fifth on the U.S. career list
with Michelle Akers.
“We had to make
changes this game, but we
have such a deep team and
we have people who are
able to get the job done, no
matter what,” O’Hara said.
“That’s one of the coolest
parts about this team. We
really do top to bottom
have such a strong team.”

during his first season on

The right hander owned
21 strikeouts in 14 2/3 in-

just eight hits. The rookie
fired nine innings with-
out giving up an earned
run to start the season,
striking out 12 and allow-

Jackson State, Arkan-

He allowed one run over

What a team: Serena, Murray to play Wimbledon mixed doubles

By HOWARD FENDRICH
The Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England —
This is quite a pair: Serena Wil-

Murray for mixed doubles at
Wimbledon.
Murray’s agent, Matt Gen-

two Grand Slam champions and
former No. 1-ranked players
will be partners at the All En-

too often a matter of being rushed,
talking, checking texts, watching

C
hocolate éclair cake is an
instant dessert classic; this
no-bake cake features layers
of store-bought vanilla pudding
and Cool Whip sandwiched be-
tween graham crackers and topped
off with chocolate frosting.
As the graham crackers soft-
en, the whole thing melds into a
creamy, sliceable cake. We loved
the ease of these convenience
items, but our enthusiasm waned
when confronted by their flavor.
With a couple of easy techniques
and very little active time, we pro-
duced a from-scratch version that
easily trumped its inspiration.
Since the cake layers required
no more work than lining a pan
with graham crackers, we made
the effort to prepare a quick
stovetop vanilla pudding, folding in
whipped cream to lighten it.
For the éclair topping, we cre-
ated a simple microwave-and-stir
glaze. Six ounces of finely chopped
semisweet chocolate can be used
in place of the chips.

This no-bake cake recipe is from
the cookbook “The Perfect Cake.”
1 1/4 cups (8 3/4 ounces) sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into
4 pieces
5 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons water
2 3/4 cups heavy cream, chilled
14 ounces graham crackers
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate
chips
5 tablespoons light corn syrup
■ Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt
in large saucepan. Whisk milk into sugar
mixture until smooth and bring to boil
mediately reduce heat to medium-low and
cook, continuing to scrape bottom, until
thickened and large bubbles appear on
surface, 4 to 6 minutes. Off heat, whisk
in butter and vanilla. Transfer pudding to
large bowl and place plastic wrap directly
on surface of pudding. Refrigerate until
cool, about 2 hours.
■ Sprinkle gelatin over water in bowl and
let sit until gelatin softens, about 5 min-
utes. Microwave until mixture is bubbling
around edges and gelatin dissolves, 15 to
30 seconds. Using stand mixer fitted with
whisk attachment, whip 2 cups cream on
medium-low speed until foamy, about 1
minute. Increase speed to high and whip
until soft peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes. Add
gelatin mixture and whip until stiff peaks
form, about 1 minute.
■ 3 Whisk one-third of whipped cream
into chilled pudding, then gently fold in
remaining whipped cream, 1 scoop at a
time, until combined. Cover bottom of
13-by-9 inch baking dish with layer of
graham crackers, breaking crackers as
necessary to line bottom of pan. Top with
half of pudding-whipped cream mixture
(about 5 1/2 cups) and another layer of
graham crackers. Repeat with remaining
pudding-whipped cream mixture and
remaining graham crackers.
■ Combine chocolate chips, corn syrup,
and remaining 3/4 cup cream in bowl
and microwave on 50 percent power,
stirring occasionally, until smooth, 1 to 2
minutes. Let glaze cool completely, about
10 minutes. Spread glaze evenly over
graham crackers and refrigerate cake for
at least 6 hours or up to 2 days before
serving.

an American flag.
Note: If you are not trying to
win a Fourth of July dessert
contest, you can use any
fruit you like atop this pizza:
kiwi rounds and peach slices
are especially good. And
of course, if you want it to
resemble pizza more than a
flag, bake it in a round pizza
pan rather than a rectangular
baking sheet.
