VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Cartoonist view Concerned with airport decision In response to the articles on hiring a consultant for the Columbus-Lowndes County Airport, I agree totally with The Dispatch. What are we missing here? The Lowndes Co. Airport Board, along with Mr. Milburn, chose Mr. Rabren to do a job. Was Mr. Milburn paid during the interview process? In my opinion Mr. Rabren is doing a fantastic job. This young man has an education at Delta State in aviation management. This should be a slap in the face for Mr. Rabren. He is young, but very motivated. Colum- bus-Lowndes County Airport will never be a Hartsfield Atlanta airport. And how come we never hear from Mr. Jeff Smith, after all he is the board president. It’s always Mr. Armstrong’s quotes in the paper. Maybe the city could save this money and spend it on a consultant to curb spending and managing what little money they have. I personally have been mislead by our officials in this city and county. Maybe the county could buy out the city’s part of the airport and run smoothly. Hate to see the day when we lose Mr. Sanders in the Super- visor board. So come election time please cast your ballots with much scrutiny. Wake up Columbus. Andy Owens Columbus

OLE MISS ATHLETICS A pitching performance worthy of a win Bjork hired as Texas A&M athletic director The Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Ross Bjork has been hired as Texas A&M’s athletic director. Bjork, who is the athletic director at the University of Mississippi, will take over for Scott Woodward, who left for the same job at LSU Bjork last month. Bjork won’t start at Texas A&M until July 8 and R.C. Slocum will remain the interim athletic director until then before transitioning back to special assistant to the president of the university. Bjork has been the AD at Ole Miss since 2012. He helped the department increase its revenue from $57 million to $117 million. Before taking over at Ole Miss, Bjork was the athletic director at Western Ken- tucky from 2010-12. From 2005-10 he was the senior associate athletic director for Courtesy photo/Wade Event Photography external relations at UCLA. Conference Pitcher of the Year Ethan Small allowed just one run on three hits in seven innings of work Thurs- day against top-seeded Vanderbilt in the Southeastern Conference tournament. The Bulldogs fell short 1-0, however, with the offense batting 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

If tracts are unspoken, but try not TAURUS (April 20-May one person is too dominant, to take inferences too seriously right now. For instance, one date doesn’t obligate you to anyone. Go out and try new things with new people just to see what happens. BEETLE BAILEY SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to know if a person feels as you do, but questions can’t get to the truth. Maybe it’s impossible to verify. Love takes trust, and trust happens when you can consis- tently and accurately predict a person’s behavior. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because most people believe a thing doesn’t make it true. But when total strangers who are uninformed and unbi- ased about the situation weigh MALLARD FILLMORE in, that opinion should have more credence in your poll. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Seeking love is seldom the way to find it. Creating beautiful experiences for yourself and others is a far more predictable route to your heart’s fulfillment and one that’s worked for you time and again. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Now is the day to consider what present you’ll bring to an upcoming event. If you wait, your ideas will be less interest- FAMILY CIRCUS ing and more motivated by what you can get in time. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re probably not even aware of who’s thinking of you now and considering you for a role. You don’t have to prove you’re right for the position; just prove you’re awesome at the

one you already have.

The October 2017 calls were replayed in court Thursday in the Nashville trial of 27-year-old Emanu- el Kidega Samson. Jurors began deliberating in the afternoon and will resume Friday. A transcript of the calls shows Samson said he heard the shooting victims saying “some funny (exple- tive)” when he was on the floor of Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Sep- tember 2017 after being shot during a tussle with a churchgoer. Samson says in one of the calls that he and his then-girlfriend are able to “look at the humor in any situation.” “When I put the two bullets in my chest and laid down and I was on the floor and I could hear what everyone was saying and some people were saying some funny (expletive) bruh and, I was like, if Maya were here listening to y’all’s whack (expletive), bruh,” Samson said in one call.
