Officials said the span should be repaired by next week and be opened for traffic in early October. may be open next week By JOHN SURRATT The Mississippi Press William Colgin/The Mississippi Press Chevron shares surge ■ Investors betting on higher energy prices after storms By MICHAEL LIEDTKE PASCAGOULA — By early 2007, motorists will be using a six-lane, dual span high-rise bridge to cross the Biloxi Bay between Ocean Springs and Biloxi, state Highway Commissioner Wayne Brown said Thursday. Brown said the Mississippi Department of Transportation is expected to award a bid in either late November or early December to build the bridge to replace the current drawbridge spanning the bay, which was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. He said the project is esti- mated to cost $200 million. Brown also said Columbia, Miss.-contractor T.I. Wallace has poured the concrete on the Interstate 10 long bridge over the Pascagoula River. He said the $4.2 million project could be finished next week, with the bridge opening to traffic in early October. Brown said the U.S. 90 project will be bid as a designbuild, which means the winning company and its engineers will design and the build the bridge. “The bridge will actually be two bridges. We expect to have one span completed in 12 to 14 months,” and the other span two months later, said Brown adding that both spans would be open to traffic in 2007. He said the spans will be built on the site of the current bridge. “If we were to use a different location, we would have to purchase the rights of way,” he said. “People may have lost their homes and some of their property, but they haven’t lost their property rights. There are a lot of things that we would like to change with that bridge, but it would take 18 months to get the rights of way and we can’t take that long. This is a case where expediency and the public need take priority.” See BRIDGES, Page 15-A TRAILERS, BUT NO KEYS Forced from their homes by Katrina, residents play waiting game with FEMA ■ Family sleeps ■ FEMA asks in pickup truck outside locked trailer families awaiting trailers to be patient The Associated Press By BRAD CROCKER SAN FRANCISCO — Chevron Corp.’s shares reached a new 52-week high Thursday as investors shook off the news that $350 million in third-quarter profit evaporated in Hurricane Katrina and bet the aftermath’s higher energy prices will offset the oil company’s short-term pain. The San Ramon, Calif.based company quantified the financial blow to its Pascagoula refinery after the stock market closed Wednesday. The refinery has been closed since Hurricane Katrina battered the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, and Chevron does not expect to renew limited production there until the middle of next month. But that setback has been cu s h i o ne d b y t he en er g y shortages that have followed the Katrina’s destruction, boosting the prices of both oil and natural gas to the benefit of Chevron and the industry’s other major players. The stock market has essentially concluded that Chevron stands to benefit more from The Mississippi Press The Mississippi Press PASCAGOULA — Bobby and Karen Johnson are sleeping in the bed of their flooded 1992 Dodge Dakota truck. The travel trailer they received from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for temporary housing is parked less than 15 feet away in the front yard of the Clairmont Avenue home they’ve owned for 28 years. They received the trailer on Sept. 21. Electricity was connected to it on the 25th. But they have no keys to enter. “We haven’t seen anybody since the 25th,” Karen Johnson, 59, said. “Can’t get in it at all,” her husband, 52, who would like to enter so he could refrigerate his insulin and treat his diabetes easier, agreed. “If we could get in it we’d sleep in it because that pickem-up truck is getting old,” mused Karen Johnson, referring to the makeshift home they’ve made in the truck, complete with a mattress, tarp over the truck’s camper shell and box fans strapped over the tire wells. “You can’t leave because somebody might come by See LOCKED, Page 16-A GAUTIER — For the hundreds of local families waiting for a Federal Emergency Management Agency trailers with electricity, water and sewer service, officials say patience is a virtue. In an effort to head off complaints of trailers being delivered but left unusable, federal housing officials have designated the units as a priority for services. Hundreds of Jackson County families were left homeless after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29. “People that are moving the trailers, they are good at moving trailers but not that good at hooking them up,” said Pat Kidder, director of FireSafe Council — 50 public and private organizations, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Red Cross — whose mission is to provide aid during natural or man-made disasters.

SBA officials give quick course on disaster assistance loans By JOHN SURRATT The Mississippi Press GULFPORT — The Small Business Administration’s administrator and the head of its disaster assistance division conducted a seminar Thursday afternoon for Coast officials and businessmen on SBA’s disaster assistance loan program. At 2.6 percent, SBA’s low-interest disaster assistance loans are the primary source of funds for people trying to rebuild after a natural disaster. LOCAL, 4-A Jackson County schools to reopen Monday Individuals are allowed to borrow up to $200,000 for home repairs and $40,000 for personal property. Homeowners can receive an additional 20 percent of the loan value for home projects to mitigate future damages. Renters are eligible for a disaster assistance loan up to $40,000 for personal property lost during the storm. The SBA loans are the only source of disaster assistance available to businesses, which are ineligible to receive grants from the Federal Emergency SPOR TS, 1-B Management Agency. Business owners, regardless of the size of the business, can borrow up to $1.5 million per business, including damage to personal property inventory and economic injury loss because customers were unable to get to the business after the storm. SBA Administrator Hector Barreto said it is possible that some loans may be repaid over a 30-year period. “The money for the disaster assistance loans comes from a different INDEX George County enters Advice . . . . . . . . . . .13-A district play against Classified . . . . . . . . .3-B Harrison Central Comics . . . . . . . . . .12-A MISSISSIPPI PRESS HURRICANE HEADQUARTERS: (251) 219-5551, (866) 843-9020 (SBA) budget than our regular loan programs,” Barreto said. “We will not run out of money; the SBA has a special fund for disasters, and if that fund begins to run low, we can go to Congress and seek a supplemental appropriation.” He added that the SBA also offers training and counseling programs to businesses.

Supervisor Orville Cochran died March 20 during his third term on the governing board. His widow, Sue Cochran, was appointed to fill his position until a special election could be held. “State law mandates when a county may hold special elections,” said county attorney Robert Shepard, “and that is on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November.” Three candidates filed to run in the special election: Sue Cochran, Michael T. Chesteen and L.N. Howell. “This election is very important,” said Gerry Williams, a resident in District 3. “All elections are important. Elections for supervisors are important because these are the people who manage the government of the county.” George County Board of Supervisors President Kelly Wright agreed. “This is a very important election,” he said. “The people of District 3 need to think about the person who will do the best job for them and for the county as a whole. People often think of the supervisor as the person in charge of roads and garbage collection, but this job is much more than that.” Wright added, “The person elected should have the drive to understand the business of the county, county finances and the need to attract industry to our area.” Only voters in District 3 are allowed to cast ballots in the special election. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 8. There are four polling places in the district; the Barton Fire Station, the Basin Fire Station, the old Davis school and the multi-purpose building at the George County Fairgrounds.

The Category 4 storm ripped away the ability to communicate by destroying cell phone towers and landline phone systems. BellSouth is working to restore all phone service to customers in the Mississippi Gulf Coast. According to Rick Stewart, regional manager of BellSouth, about 6,500 residents of Jackson County are still without phone service. “We are first making temporary repairs to get people back in service, but we will actually be repairing and restoring our network for a while to come,” Stewart said. Stewart encourages people who have relocated because of the storm to consider their options, such as transferring, suspending or disconnecting their phone service. However, a month after the storm, things are looking up as cell phone companies establish temporary cell sites and work to improve on the existing networks. “We used the opportunity to go in and update our networks after the storm, so the network that Mississippi ends up with will be better than what they had before the storm,” said Patrick Kimball, a spokesperson for Verizon Wireless. For those who are still experiencing problems with their cell phone service, cell phone companies offer several hints to help make the connection with friends and family. “If someone gets a fast busy signal or a For more information about your wireless service or to find out what benefits are available for you as a Hurricane Katrina survivor: • For Cingular Wireless, call 866-2464852 • For Verizon Wireless, call *661 or your cell phone or 800-256-4646 • For Cellular South, call 877-276-8841 • For T-Mobile, call 611 or your cell phone or 800-937-8997 • For Alltel, call 800-255-8351 or *611 on your cell phone • For Sprint Wireless, call 888-2114727 • For Nextel Wireless, call 800-6396111 If you want to discuss your options for your land line phone with BellSouth or to discuss your BellSouth bill, call 888-7576500. message telling you that you were unable to connect your phone call, you should hang up and then wait at least 10 seconds and make the call again,” said Dawn Benton, spokesperson for Cingular Wireless. Another tip according to many of the cell phone companies is to use text messages as an alternative to voice calls when lines or systems are busy. Cell phone companies say that most of the problems wireless phone users are experiencing now is because of congestion on the networks. Customers that are experiencing problems with their cell phone service should contact their cellular service provider. “I encourage all our customers to call and report problems so our technicians can know where the problems are and can work to solve them,” said Kristin Wallace, spokesperson for Nextel and Sprint Wire- less companies. Most cell phone companies are not only working to restore communication networks, but they are also wiping away charges for roaming, overages and long distance charges for their cell phone customers. “It comes up to one month of free service for our customers, for those affected by the storm, and several other benefits,” said Peter Dobrow, spokesperson for T-Mobile. BellSouth will also be working with its customers on billing issues on an individual basis, Stewart said. “Anyone who has had or does have an inoperable line will be credited back for the time they went without service,” Stewart said. Many companies have also halted the suspension of accounts temporarily because of lack of payment. Many cell phone companies are also allowing their customers to make donations to the Red Cross for the Hurricane Katrina Relief effort by simply sending a text message. “We have also provided away for our other customers to give to Hurricane Katrina Relief. All they have to do is to text the word ‘give’ to the number 24357 and their tax deductible donation will be added to their bill,” said Larry White, Alltel spokesperson. Most cell phone companies expect to be back functioning at 100 percent or more in the next few weeks other are already functioning at full capacity. “Basically, we were up and running at 100 percent on Sept. 9. Our goal was to get up by Sept. 12 and we surpassed it,” said Richard Reynolds, Cellular South area manager for South Mississippi.

Jackson County schools to reopen Monday ■ Pas schools plan to open Oct. 6 By ALLISON MATHER The Mississippi Press Students in Jackson County School District will resume classes Monday, superintendent Rucks Robinson said, though some changes have been necessary due to storm damage. All school districts in Jackson County were forced to close after Hurricane Katrina rampaged through the Mississippi Gulf Coast, damaging schools in each of the county’s four school systems. After four weeks, schools are finally beginning to open. “East Central and Vancleave schedules will not change a bit,” Robinson said. Students in those areas are to report to the same schools at the same times they did before the storm. “The only real change is at St. Martin,” he continued. St. Martin North and St. Martin East elementary schools will now begin at 8 a.m. and end at 2:50 p.m., allowing more time for the school district’s remaining buses to run routes. High school, middle school and St. Martin Upper Elementary students will share the high school campus. Students at St. Martin High School will report to that campus at 7 a.m. Dismissal will be at 12:05 p.m. St. Martin Upper Elementary students should report to the blue building at 11:25 a.m.; dismissal is at 5:15 p.m. St. Martin Middle School students will attend class in the gold building from 11:25 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Two meals — breakfast and lunch — will be served to each group, Robinson said. Buses will continue to run the same routes as before the storm. “But after the first day, I’m sure they’ll be different,” Robinson said. For example, the district used to bus about 400 students from neighborhoods south of Lemoyne Boulevard, but now there are no homes in those neighborhoods, he explained. How many students will be attending St. Martin schools remains a mystery. “We’ve enrolled new children at both Vancleave and East Central,” Robinson said, but none at St. Martin. There have, however, been requests for records for students from that area who have moved to other districts or states. Robinson said he does not know exactly how long the shared campus and altered school day will last in St. Martin. About 80 portable classrooms have been ordered to establish middle and upper elementary campuses, but Robinson emphasized that the earliest those classrooms may begin to arrive is Oct. 23 because priority is being given to those districts hardest hit by the storm. It is also unknown what changes to the academic calendar may be necessary. In the near future, Oct. 7 will be a regular school day instead of a student holiday as originally scheduled. Meanwhile, the projected start date for students in the Pascagoula School District is Thursday, Oct. 6. Because of the scale of damage from Hurricane Katrina, some classes have been transferred to other schools within the district. Beach Elementary students will report to Central Elementary. Kindergarten through thirdgrade students from Gautier Elementary will be at College Park Elementary. Gautier Elementary fourthand fifth-graders will be housed at Gautier Middle School. Kathleen Carr’s and Faith Harris’ classes will be at Singing River Elementary. Teachers are to report on Monday. All middle and high school teachers will meet for an assembly at 8 a.m. at Singing River Elementary. All elementary teachers and assistant teachers will report to their respective schools at 7:30 a.m. to go to Singing River Elementary for an assembly at 10 a.m. Superintendent Wayne Rodolfich emphasized that Oct. 6 is a target date, but students and parents should continue to monitor newspaper, television and radio coverage in case the date changes. Students will still be required to wear uniforms, and the school district is collecting uniforms for students who lost theirs in the storm. For safety reasons, students and teachers should wear closed-toe shoes until further notice. Textbooks are being ordered for students. All usable student textbooks need to be brought back to school on the first day of school. The district is receiving large allotments of school supplies that will be used to assist students in need. The district has enacted its emergency plan, and the district will offer counseling to students, teachers and administrators. It’s still unclear if and when students will have to make up days lost due to Hurricane Katrina. “The district is still waiting for the state board (of education) to inform the schools about how many days will have to be made up,” superintendent Wayne Rodolfich said. “Fall Break has been canceled and the Wednesday before Thanks- PAYLESS HOME IMPROVEMENT “Why Pay More When You Can Pay Less” • Roofing • Metal Roofing • Vinyl Siding giving will be a full day of school.

BRIEFS Senators seek accountability on $236 million cruiseship deal WASHINGTON — Two senators on Thursday asked federal officials to explain their decision to sign a $236 million deal with Carnival Cruise Lines for Hurricane Katrina housing, saying Greece was ready to provide two ships for free. In a letter, Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to explain why Federal Emergency Management Agency officials chose Carnival and turned down the Greek offer. The six-month deal with Carnival for three full-service cruise ships — which now sit mostly empty on the Gulf Coast — has been criticized by lawmakers of both parties as a prime example of wasted spending in Hurricane Katrinarelated contracts. The two have proposed legislation that would create a chief financial officer to oversee and approve Katrina spending.

Volunteers of Jackson County Volunteers Reception Center are quite visible from their camp behind St. Paul United Methodist Church at Miss. 57 and U.S. 90 in Ocean Springs. They are ready and skilled to provide some much needed services — from removing wet sheetrock and insulation to clearing debris. “We’ve been all up and down the coast and seen some incredible devastation,” said coordinator Mike Malkemes of Houston, Texas. “What we’re trying to do now is save as many houses as we can before the black mold gets too bad. Some of these houses had eight to 10 feet of water in them. We sanitize the house with (bleach) after we are done, to kill that mold.” “Once we’ve done that, we want to start the rebuilding phase where we will put new sheetrock back in,” Malkemes said. The faith-based group has cleaned and sanitized more than 100 houses and churches in Jackson County. They’ve cleared about 200 houses of trees and debris. Malkemes said volunteers are steadily flowing into the county. “We are going to have over 220 volunteers here this weekend. We hope to keep more than 200 (volunteers) here every day for the rest of the year,” he said. Jackson County is the group’s target area. “We’re mostly focused on Jackson County but we are taking calls farther out. Once we get up to 200 volunteers a day, we’ll make a greater impact,” he said. The idea to make a difference in Jackson County began at the church where Malkemes attends, Gateway Community Church, and another church in 5-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Union leaders urge president to reinstate contract labor law By HOLBROOK MOHR The Associated Press William Colgin/The Mississippi Press Brent Davidson from Havre de Grace, Md., gets ready for dinner after a day of relief work.

The churches furnished a trailer and supplies and Malkemes began recruiting volunteers. Malkemes learned of St. Paul United Methodist Church while bringing supplies to Gulfport, Miss. “We asked if there were churches farther out we could go help and Trinity United Methodist Church recommended St. Paul,” he said. After defining the mission to St. Paul, Pastor Mitchell Hedgepeth agreed to be a host site. Malkemes said 20 tents are erected behind the church where volunteers find nighttime shelter. He said the tents were donated by unusual donors, China and Russia. Singing River Electric is providing electricity so the tents will be air-conditioned. Volunteers are provided three meals a day, showers and restroom facilities. They’ve come from Seattle, Wash., Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, Houston, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Phoenix, Ariz., and Alabama. “They are people who want to serve the community and help. All skilled levels are coming. There are a lot of business owners and builders. There are sweet little old ladies coming to help at the distribution center pass out food. There are young people coming,” he said. Volunteer Mary Cruff, 67, of Texas has assumed the title of office manager. Her husband, Curt, 65, is team coordinator. Cruff said they are full-time recreation vehicle owners who travel. “We were helping our friend in Benton, Ky., remodel her house. When this storm hit, my husband said ‘we’ve got to go and help at the Gulf.’ I was reluctant at first but here we are and we are going to stay here until we are not needed anymore,” she said.

JACKSON — President Bush’s suspension of a decadesold labor law could drive down wages in hurricane wrecked areas while allowing massive corporations to exploit workers, union leaders said on Thursday. But at least one of the companies that was awarded a multimillion dollar contract in the wake of Hurricane Katrina says it will not reduce wages. Key officials with the AFLCIO in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Alabama met in Jackson on Thursday to urge Bush to reinstate the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931. The act requires payment of prevailing wages on government contracts based on surveys that take into account pay in a given area. Bush suspended the act on Sept. 8, saying the move will help reduce rebuilding costs, which some estimate at $200 billion, and open opportunities to minority-owned companies that often are left out of federal government contracts. “Days after Katrina destroyed so many lives and families and when people were still rescuing from roof tops in New Orleans, President Bush took time to strike a blow to the working men and women,” said Alabama AFL-CIO president Stewart Burkhalter. “The suspension of Davis-Bacon is designed to do nothing more than increase the profits in large corporations with close ties to this administration.” Bush spokesman, Allen Abney, said Thursday that suspension of the act will speed recovery in devastated areas while cutting costs. “The president has said he wants to cut red tape whenever necessary to ensure that the victims of this natural disaster are cared for and that the communities are restored as quickly as AP Louis Reine, left, secretary-treasurer with the AFL-CIO in Louisiana, and other key officials with the union in Mississippi, Texas and Alabama urged President Bush Thursday to reinstate the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931, at a news conference in Jackson. possible,” Abney said. “The suspension of the Davis-Bacon Act will do just that.” Kellogg, Brown & Root, which was awarded a $16 million contract, won’t reduce wages, said Cathy Mann, a company spokeswoman. Robert Shaffer, president of the Mississippi AFL-CIO, had a more grim take on the Gulf Coast recovery. “There are reports of contractors using humans as indentured servants and keeping them and not letting them get back across the wire,” Shaffer said, referring to razor wire around hard hit areas. “I haven’t seen that for myself but it’s been reported to me.” The other union leaders said they have no proof of workers forced into indentured servitude, and when questioned by The Associated Press, Shaffer said he was speaking from secondhand reports.

The proposal comes in response to widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, which tossed some massive casino barges on shore and shredded the walls of others. The state legalized casinos 15 years ago but restricted them to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico or the Mississippi River. This is the first serious effort to allow them to move even a short distance on land, and it faces strong opposition from religious groups. House Gaming Committee Chairman Bobby Moak said significant questions remain — including whether the bill would allow casinos throughout most of downtown Pascagoula and Ocean Springs if Jackson County should decide to join the other two coastal counties in legalizing gambling. Friday will be the fourth day of a special session Gov. Haley Barbour called to handle issues designed help the Coast start recovering from one of the most destructive storms in the nation’s history. “We’re ... somewhat working under the gun in an attempt to leave this place as quickly as we possibly can, but we’re not going to do it in a slipshod manner,” Moak said. “And so we’re going to revisit (the bill) if necessary.” The bill could come up for more debate in the Gaming Committee on Friday. It also must pass a special hurricane recovery committee before it can go to the full House. The Gaming Committee took a voice vote Thursday night, so there is no record of how individual members voted. However, there was no opposition. Casinos now sit on public tidelands and must renew their leases every five years. The Gaming Committee also passed a bill to extend the current leases to 30 years each. Another bill that passed is designed to ensure the casinos keep paying taxes. Both measures were held for more debate. Senators have not yet debated a casino bill. Republican Barbour says he supports letting casinos go up to 1,500 feet on shore, or some distance short of that, as long as they still have facilities touching the water. He says he also opposes letting casinos go into counties or communities where they were not already located Barbour: Housing proposal insufficient JACKSON (AP) — Gov. Haley Barbour is criticizing lawmakers’ proposal to establish a $100 million grant program to help people replace homes lost in Hurricane Katrina. He says the proposal would address only a “tiny fraction” of the needs — about 1 in 15 homes, by some estimates. A bill that passed the state House of Representatives would cap each grant to about $25,000. “Who’s going to decide which family gets $25,000 and which 14 families don’t?” Barbour said Thursday. Some senators have proposed making the home The House bill would let casinos move on shore 800 feet or to the southern boundary of U.S. Michael Weeks, pastor of 90 “whichever is greater.” The highway runs along the beach in Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in DeSoto County, Harrison County, but it’s more than a mile inland in many looks around for lawmakparts of Jackson County, includers to approach at the ing in downtown Pascagoula.

Burlington, Vt., a city of 40,000 caring residents, according to its mayor, Peter Clavelle, will see that a truckload of the orange gourds, bearing upbeat messages, will arrive in time for the celebration in Moss Point. The Vermont city has adopted Moss Point. Clavelle, his wife Betsy and George Hamilton, president of Vermont’s Institute for Sustainable Communities, will wrap up a three-day visit to the River City today. During a conversation with the trio, economic developer Linda Holden mentioned Fallde-Rah and the excitement the huge display of pumpkins and bales of hay sparks each year. A scaled-down version was planned downtown to let Moss Pointers and the world know that the city is still in business, Holden said. “She mentioned we may not have pumpkins this year and (Clavelle) said ‘pumpkins, how many would you like?,’” said Mark LaSalle, director of Audubon Mississippi. But that’s not all of the planned short-term contributions. “The city needs a vacuum truck to help vacuum out sewer. The mayor said, ‘sure, we’ll send you one. If that’s what you across the state converged on the Capitol earlier Thursday to lobby against any change in casino laws. Michael Weeks, the pastor of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in DeSoto County, is skeptical that the governor — or anyone — could control the proliferation of casinos if some are allowed to move even a few hundred feet on shore. “It can open the door for landbased casinos across the state without a vote of the people,” Weeks said. Barbour said he has talked to lawyers and he believes there’s “zero chance” that courts would interpret any law to allow expansion of gambling counties where it does not already exist.

Favre said before the hurricane, casino taxes made up about half of Bay St. Louis’ $7 million budget. To revive the local economy, “the quickest (way) with the biggest benefit is going to be the casinos.” Before Katrina, the Coast casinos employed about 14,000 people and generated about $500,000 a day in state and local taxes. Some casino companies say they want to go on shore so their buildings will be safer. Other companies plan to rebuild over water.

Clavelle said if Burlington can help with municipal equipment and expertise, it will. For the long term, Burlington, through the Institute for Sustainable Communities, similar to Moss Point’s Institute of Compatible Development, will share ideas and experiences that could help Moss Point. Burlington’s strategy has involved generating new sources of public revenue, ensuring a publicly controlled waterfront, producing permanently affordable housing, stabilizing residential neighborhoods, reducing energy consumption, requiring the recycling of solid waste and removing barriers preventing women and minorities from enjoying the fruits of economic growth, Clavelle said. Betsy Clavelle videotaped testimonies from directors of several Moss Point nonprofit organizations, to be used in a documentary produced by a Burlington television station. Burlington, Vermont’s largest city, has in past years adopted Nicaragua, Russia and the Middle Eastern city of Bethlehem. “Following the hurricane, Vermonters were very generous. There were more than 15 trailers that were collected in Vermont. There were a signifi- Linda Hillman 762-8605 cant amount of fund-raisers for non-profit organizations, including Red Cross. But in Burlington, we said we wanted to do more, but in a way that was more personable and would allow us to build long-term relations with a community,” Clavelle said. The city first made contact with the Mississippi Municipal League. Eventually leads and discussions brought them to Moss Point. “We heard they had a need and two, a desire to establish this long-term relationship. And here we are,” Clavelle said. A kickoff concert, called the Hurricane Benefit, generated more than $20,000 in donations, which will go into the Moss Point Relief Fund. “We’re in it for the long haul. We hope there can be connections built between organizations. We’d like to connect churches of our communities, Boys and Girls Clubs and schools of our two communities and families and just learn from each other. I think in the process, both of our communities will be stronger,” Clavelle said. GULFPORT — Some proclaim the wearer a “Certified Hurricane Veteran.” Others state, “I survived the big one — Hurricane Katrina.” The T-shirts popping up for sale at stands along a highway once smack in Katrina’s path offer travelers a chance to get souvenirs of the catastrophe, but some are just getting offended. “It’s disgusting,” said Mary Ann Martino, whose home was badly damaged yet is providing shelter for a dozen friends who are even worse off. “People are making money off what we’ve been through.” Small businesses have sprung up in towns near the coast along U.S. 49, selling souvenirs of the storm that killed more than 1,000 people and displaced as many as 1 million in Mississippi and Louisiana. The reaction to the vendors has been mixed. Wayne and Melissa Rogers stopped at a stand Wednesday and paid $45 for three shirts, including one for their 2-yearold son, Zavier. “We’re going to save it for him,” said Mrs. Rogers, 21, of Gulfport. “We have a trunk of stuff we’ve saved since he was born, things he can remember.” Katrina souvenirs are all over: eBay has “My Heart’s in New Orleans” T-shirts for $18 including shipping, and rubber wristbands emblazoned with “Katrina Relief” start at AP Nino Migliaccio of Sarasota, Fla., sells Hurricane Katrina T-shirts along a highway in Gulfport. Reaction to the souvenirs of a storm that killed more than 1,000 people and displaced as many as 1 million people in Mississippi and Louisiana has been mixed. $2.50 each. Some sellers say they will contribute to hurricane relief. T-shirts have been sold after other hurricanes. One from Florida, which was pounded by four hurricanes last year, had a drawing of a house and the words: “1. Charley, 2. Frances, 3. Ivan, 4. Sale.” Still, selling T-shirts amid the Gulf Coast devastation rubs some people the wrong way. Looking at a T-shirt stand from a nearby convenience store, Clarence Breaux wasn’t biting. He survived Katrina by putting on a life preserver inside his home near the beach in Biloxi and doesn’t need a reminder of the horror of that day. “That’s the last thing I want,” said Breaux. “I’m lucky to have the shirt I’ve got on.” One of the busiest stands is run by Dave Anderson and Kent Rybolt, both of Fort Wayne, Ind. Some travelers stop and shop, and a few voice their displeasure. “We had one lady drive by and yell, ’You should be ashamed of yourself. People died out there,”’ Anderson said. The stand is within a mile of heavily damaged businesses and homes.

Serving The Entire Gulf Coast 934-2555 • 896-9555 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 7-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS The floats are ready — but are the people — for Mardi Gras? By DAN SEWELL The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Inside a sprawling riverside warehouse, giant-size Elvis, Yoda, Chuckie and scores of floats look ready to roll, although The Mummy, Wicked Witch and Dracula will need some repair work from Hurricane Katrina’s winds. Blaine Kern, dubbed “Mr. Mardi Gras” after more than five decades of involvement in New Orleans’ most famous annual event, isn’t worried about having plenty of floats ready. But he and other veteran leaders of the annual preLenten bacchanal face other challenges as they work on plans to keep next year’s Mardi Gras from being blown away. Much of the city’s population is scattered, hotel rooms are scarce, and organizers are dealing with their own personal Katrina issues in their homes and businesses. “It’s going to be a problem,” Blaine Kern, also known as ‘Mr. Mardi Gras’ points at some of the damage to the ‘Sinbad’ float at his Mardi Gras World warehouse in New Orleans Thursday. After more than five decades of involvement in New Orleans' most famous annual event, Kern is confident he could have plenty of parade floats ready by the time Mardi Gras rolls around in February. AP acknowledged Kern. “But everybody says: We have to go this year, of all years.” The city has already lost the Sugar Bowl, the NFL Saints and the NBA Hornets for the year, and a month after Katrina, only a small part of New New Orleans police launch investigation into reports some officers looted By ADAM NOSSITER The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — The police department said Thursday it is investigating a dozen officers in connection with looting during the lawlessness that engulfed the city after Hurricane Katrina. News reports in the aftermath of the storm put officers at the scene of some of the heaviest looting, at the Wal-Mart in the Lower Garden District. Some witnesses, including a TimesPicayune reporter, said police were taking items from shelves. “Once we actually got the video, we started our investigation,” acting Police Superintendent Warren Riley said at a news conference. “The investigation does in fact show police officers with some items.” Of the 12 officers under investigation, four have already been suspended for failing to stop looting, Riley said. “It was not clear that they in fact looted,” Riley said of the four suspended officers. “What is clear is that some action needed to be taken and it was not.” Riley drew a distinction between taking useful items such as food and jeans, which he contended didn’t amount to looting in a crisis, and taking luxuries such as jewelry. He said incidents in which officers took Cadillacs from a dealer’s lot were not looting because the officers patrolled in the cars. Earlier this week, the city’s police superintendent, Eddie Compass, resigned after weeks of criticism about the department’s conduct during Katrina and its aftermath. On the same day, the department said about 250 police officers could face discipline for leaving their posts without permission during the crisis. Meanwhile, business owners started streaming back into newly reopened sections of the city Thursday morning at Mayor Ray Nagin’s invitation, some vowing to rebuild, some saying they were pulling out. The areas thrown open to business owners were: the French Quarter; the central business district; and the Uptown section, which includes the Garden District, a leafy neighborhood of antebellum and Victorian mansions. The neighborhoods escaped major flooding during Katrina. Under the mayor’s plan, residents of those neighborhoods will be allowed to return on Friday, a move that could bring back about one-third of the city’s half-million inhabitants. At Igor’s, a pub and coin laundry in the Garden District, owner Halina Margan returned after Katrina and never left, despite Hurricane Rita’s threat last week. She was ready to open for business on Thursday. “It’s lonely here. We need people,” she said. Blues music poured out the door of Slim Goodies diner, where by 10 a.m., owner Kappa Horn had already served pancakes, bacon and eggs over easy on plastic plates to more than 100 people. “This is the first hot meal I’ve had in a month,” said George Wichser, a Tulane University police officer who rode out the storm on campus. Mary Russo parked her car in front of Shanty Too, her niece’s boarded-up boutique on chic Magazine Street, and started to cry. Her niece could not bear to come, so Russo and other relatives were there to close the shop for good and bring anything salvageable to her other store closer to Baton Rouge. “I just can’t believe this has happened to the city,” Russo said. “So much of this could have been avoided.” The mayor is pushing aggressively to reopen the city despite concerns raised by state and federal officials. Serious health hazards remain because of bacteria-laden floodwaters, a lack of drinkable water and a sewage system that still does not work, said Stephen L. Johnson, chief of the Environmental Protection Agency. “There are a whole lot of factors that need to be weighing on the mayor’s mind,” Johnson said. THE LAW FIRM OF ALWYN H. LUCKEY, P.A.

Orleans is semi-functional, let alone able to host one of the nation’s largest and wildest celebrations. But canceling Mardi Gras — which draws an estimated 1 million each year — is unthinkable for some, regardless of the obstacles. “It’s part of the culture of New Orleans. It’s part of the soul,” said Dickie Brennan, whose popular restaurants include the Palace Cafe. Even as more hotels reopen, their rooms are quickly snapped up by federal workers, private contractors and news media. Bruce Hicks, general manager of the Sheraton Hotel downtown, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency already has contracted for 750 of the 1,110 rooms past Mardi Gras. But Hicks is confident the event will come off somehow. “I can’t imagine it not going on,” he said. Ed Muniz, captain of the Endymion krewe, says the ’06 Mardi Gras may be a scaleddown version aimed more at boosting the hurricane-ravaged city’s spirits than drawing tourists. After working on mold problems in his Jefferson Parish home, he huddled Wednesday night with some people in the tourism industry and members of his krewe, one of the hundreds of clubs that take part in parades with splashy floats. “We want to do it. The question is where will the city be in four months? Nobody knows right now,” said Muniz. “If we all sit back and don’t do anything now, it will be too late.” One break: next year’s Fat Tuesday, the climax of the carnival season’s parades and celebrations, falls on Feb. 28, giving more time than this year’s date of Feb. 8. Many regular Mardi Gras participants evacuated, and Muniz said he knows those with ruined homes won’t be back, at least not for next Mardi Gras.

HOLLAND The Associated Press WASHINGTON — John G. Roberts Jr., a conservative protegé of the late William H. Rehnquist, succeeded him Thursday and became the nation’s youngest chief justice in two centuries, winning support from more than three-fourths of the Senate after promising he would be no ideologue. Roberts, at 50, becomes the 17th chief justice, presiding over a Supreme Court that seems as divided as the nation over abortion and other tumultuous social issues. The court opens a new term on Monday. “The Senate has confirmed a man with an astute mind and kind heart,” President Bush said just before Roberts was sworn in by acting Chief Justice John Paul Stevens. “All Americans can be confident that the 17th chief justice of the United States will be prudent in exercising judicial power, firm in defending judicial independence and above all a faithful guardian of the Constitution.” Bush is expected to make his second Supreme Court nomination within days, one that conservatives hope will move the court to the right. Replacing Rehnquist with Roberts keeps the court’s current balance, but replacing the moderate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor with a conservative could tilt it rightward. Roberts called the Senate’s 78-22 AP Judge John Roberts, left, is sworn in by Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, Thursday as the 17th Chief Justice of the United States in the East Room of the White House in Washington.

But some meteorologists worry that federal spending on storm research is not keeping up. The federal Hurricane Research Division has a staff of about 30 scientists, down from about 50 in the 1980s. It has an annual budget of $5.1 million, a nearly 60 percent increase since 1998. But some researchers say they need more money — perhaps a budget of $10 million — to hire more staff and modernize equipment. “We aren’t talking about a whole lot of money,” said Hugh Willoughby, a researcher at the division from 1975 to 1996 and its director from 1996 to 2002. The division’s work helps meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center forecast a storm’s track and intensity. Residents and local officials in hurricane-prone areas rely on these forecasts to make preparations that could minimize destruction and save lives. The research division is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which decides how much money it gets from NOAA’s budget. NOAA’s budget director, Steve Gallagher, denied that the research division is underfunded. He said that funding is reviewed every year but that the agency will take a harder look at research spending because of Hurricane Katrina. “We have to make priorities in tight fiscal times. And so you’re not going to see quantum leaps forward and big huge increases in any program,” he said. He also pointed out that the federal government is not alone in doing hurricane research. Universities and private companies are also making important advances. NOAA’s budget grew to an estimated $3.83 billion this year from $3.44 billion in 2004. The agency’s budget is supposed to drop to an estimated $3.78 billion next year, but Gallagher said the research division should not see any cuts. An increase in the research division budget would allow the hiring of more workers to analyze the mountains of data gathered by aircraft that fly through hurricanes and to improve computer models that predict hurricane movement and strength, said Michael Black, a meteorologist and union steward at the division who has pushed for extra funding. A bigger budget would also provide money to replace aging radar and hurricane hunter planes, some of which were built in the 1970s and ’80s, he said. “It sickens me to see a disaster like this, a Katrina, to bring the attention to the hurricane problem,” he said. The Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, has been above average since 1995, and forecasters say the increased activity could last at least another decade. There were 15 named storms last year, and there have been 17 so far this year. With two months to go in the season, the total could surpass the record of 21 tropical storms and hurricanes in 1933. Typically, there are about 10 named storms a season. Black said the additional hurricane investment would quickly pay for itself. He said more accurate forecasts could narrow the areas that are put under hurricane warnings when a storm approaches. Those warnings usually lead local officials to order evacuations, which cost an estimated $1 million for each mile of coast. “If that could be reduced, you’re talking about tremendous economic savings,” he said.

He said he would try to “pass on to my children’s generation a charter of self-government as strong and as vibrant as the one that Chief Justice Rehnquist passed on to us.” “What Daniel Webster termed the miracle of our Constitution is not something that happens in every generation, but every generation in its turn must accept the responsibility of supporting and defending the Constitution and bearing true faith and allegiance to it,” Roberts said. A crowd including seven of the eight sitting justices, Roberts’ parents, Rosemary and John Sr., children John and Josephine, Senate supporters and White House well-wishers erupted stood and applauded as Roberts kissed his wife and shook Stevens’ hand. The audience also included Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and White House counsel Harriet Miers, both of whom have been mentioned as candidates for O’Connor’s seat. Roberts took a separate judicial oath during a private White House ceremony attended by the other justices. A formal Supreme court ceremony was scheduled for Monday, before the opening of the term. O’Connor, a moderate voice on the Supreme Court and one of only two women, is leaving after 24 years. It is the first time in 34 years that a president has had simultaneous high court openings. The president originally named Roberts to succeed O’Connor in July. Rehnquist’s death led to the switch to Roberts for the chief justice on Sept. 6. O’Connor remains on the court until the president selects a replacement and that person is confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate. The only justice not at the White House was Antonin Scalia. He had a previous engagement that could not be broken, a court spokeswoman said. According the Federalist Society Web site, he was leading a two-day seminar on the separation of powers in Avon, Colo. Not since John Marshall, confirmed in 1801 at 45, has there been a younger chief. Roberts is the first new Supreme Court justice since 1994. Before becoming a federal appeals court judge, he was one of the nation’s best appellate lawyers, arguing 39 cases — many in front of the same eight justices he will now lead as chief. He won 25 of those cases. Under Roberts, the court will tackle such issues as assisted suicide, campaign finance law and abortion this year, with questions about religion, same-sex marriage, the government’s war on terrorism and human cloning looming in the future. Said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn: “For many years to come, long after many of us have left public service, the Roberts court will be deliberating on some of the most difficult and fundamental questions of U.S. law.” MADD targets complacency after 25 years By KEN THOMAS The Associated Press WASHINGTON — When a grieving mother started a grass-roots organization in 1980, alcohol mixed with driving was killing more than 70 people a day but receiving little national attention. Mothers Against Drunk Driving made it personal. Focusing on the stories of victims and their families, MADD quickly spread into more than 300 communities, helped persuade Congress to raise the drinking age and ended up getting the term “designated driver” into the dictionary. “Twenty-five years ago, drunk driving was the last socially acceptable form of murder in America,” says MADD president Glynn Birch, the organization’s first male president. “And those pioneers of MADD set out to change that.” The advocacy group celebrated 25 years on Thursday with a rally on Capitol Hill, claiming to have helped save 300,000 lives. It said it aims to keep cutting the number of drunken driving deaths and will form stronger alliances with law enforcement and push for higher seat belt use. Still, the organization says it’s fighting a feeling among Americans that the issue is no longer so important. “The nation has become complacent,” said Birch, who became involved with the group in 1988 when his 21-month old son was killed by a drunken driver. “Back in the early ’80s we had this grass-roots organization that was flaring up. This was a voice that you had to listen to.” In an era in which terrorism, natural disasters and diseases such as AIDS receive considerable attention, Birch said, “there are so many different things out there that we are in competition with.” In 1982, more than 26,000 people were killed in drunken driving crashes, and alcohol played a role in about 60 percent of all highway fatalities. Drunken driving was punishable with fines and sometimes shrugged off by the legal system. The group’s founder, Candace Lightner, still shudders at the memory of a California Highway Patrol officer telling her the drunken driver who killed her 13year-old daughter probably would not receive a stiff penalty. The driver was a repeat offender with a history of drunken driving arrests. Infuriated, she mounted a nationwide campaign that helped push Congress to set aside federal highway funds for antidrunken driving efforts and then to pass legislation in 1984 to raise the federal minimum drinking age to 21. By 2004, the most recent data avail- able, the number of drunken driving deaths had dropped to nearly 17,000 a year and alcohol factored into about 40 percent of all deadly crashes. The organization notes that the number of drunken driving deaths has made little downward movement in recent years. About 45 people are killed and nearly 700 are injured daily because of drunken drivers. Some have questioned MADD’s direction. Lightner, who parted ways with the organization in the mid-1980s, says MADD has failed to focus enough on its core mission. “You don’t hear about it any more — you don’t hear the victims’ stories any more,” Lightner said in an interview. With a $53 million annual budget, MADD is a nonprofit funded by individual contributions, government grants and corporate sponsors. Broadening its agenda, the organization has targeted underage drinking and lobbied for stronger seat belt laws and the use of sobriety checkpoints. When Congress worked on a new federal transportation bill this year, MADD sought ways to encourage states to pass laws targeting repeat offenders and drivers with blood-alcohol levels of 0.15 percent, or about twice the legal limit. 3 4!4%&!2ISHERETOHELP !T3TATE&ARM®WECONTINUETOWORKWITHOURPOLICYHOLDERS WHOHAVEBEENAFFECTEDBY(URRICANE+ATRINAANDWEWILLBE HEREUNTILTHEJOBISDONE)FYOUREAPOLICYHOLDERANDYOU NEEDTOSUBMITACLAIMPLEASE s s s #ONTACTANY3TATE&ARM!GENT #ALL3&#,!)-TOREACH OURCATASTROPHEOPERATORSOR 6ISITSTATEFARMCOM§TOINITIATEYOURCLAIMONLINE )FYOUVEALREADYSUBMITTEDACLAIMPLEASEKNOWTHATOUR CATASTROPHETEAMISWORKINGDILIGENTLYTORESPONDTOALL OURPOLICYHOLDERSAFTERTHISUNPRECEDENTEDSTORM)FYOU HAVEQUESTIONSABOUTYOURCLAIMSSTATUSPLEASECALL 3&#,!)- 0ROVIDING)NSURANCEAND&INANCIAL3ERVICES 3TATE&ARM)NSURANCE#OMPANIESs(OME/FlCES"LOOMINGTON), 10-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 NATION/WORLD Coast homeowners look to rebuild — face shortage of contractors, materials By MICHAEL RUBINKAM The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Roberta Stewart picks through the muck layering the first floor of her home, her bare legs splattered in mud, her eyes surveying the putrid mess from behind a gas mask. Now that Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters have ebbed, she asks, who will help her rebuild? “The (builder) I was going to use, who I trust, is in Fort Worth because he lost his house,” Stewart says. “I’ll have to find another contractor.” That could be a tall order. With hundreds or even thousands of builders wiped out by Katrina — their tools lost and workers scattered — homeowners looking to rebuild quickly are in for a shock. The scope of home destruction is so sweeping that it will likely stretch rebuilding for years. It took more than a decade to reconstruct all the homes destroyed by Hurricane Andrew, after it hit Florida in 1992. Katrina destroyed 10 times as many homes as Andrew. The difficulty of rebuilding could be exacerbated because Gulf Coast contracting has long been the province of small, independent companies without the deep pockets to recover quickly. That has spurred out-of-state contractors to pour into the region, increasing competition for labor and driving up prices. When the region’s contractors do get back on their feet, most of their time will be directed at repairing homes that are salvageable, not rebuilding ones that were destroyed, industry experts say. About 9,000 contractors belonging to the National Association of Home Builders are based along the Gulf Coast. Katrina destroyed 275,000 homes MISS. Katrina wrecked nearly ten times as many homes as Andrew – 28,000 in 1992 – which it took more than a decade to rebuild. AL. LA.

That’s clear in the story of Ronnie Wirth, who ran a construction company from his home, in a neighborhood flooded when a canal breached. Wirth’s house and business are gone. So are the six homes he was in the process of building. All his equipment is beyond repair. Subcontractors and employees are scattered across the South. He is sending his water-logged computer to a company in hopes of rescuing the hard drive that contains all his records and contacts. “We’ve been wiped out,” he says. “The business was insured, but of course we didn’t have enough for this type of damage. Everybody’s in the AP same boat right now.” Even contractors who weren’t directly hit by the storm are feeling its effects. Phil Hoffman, a custom builder who escaped damage, said many of his suppliers and workers lived in flooded parts of New Orleans. “Some of them haven’t come back home yet and some of them won’t even have a place to come home to,” he said. Demand for the few workers left is skyrocketing. “Our builders say they are having trouble keeping their normal crews because people are literally buying them off job sites,” said Marty Milstead, head of the Home Builders Association of Mississippi. One Gulf Coast roofing company reported losing two of its crews in a single day, he said. Companies with workers are paying them more than before, and charging far higher prices. AP Construction workerJavier Pimeda hammers fasteners for a blue tarp on a roof top of a damaged home in the Garden District of New Orleans, Wednesday. With hundreds or even thousands of builders wiped out by the storm, their tools lost, their labor pool scattered, homeowners who hope to rebuild quickly in the wake of Katrina are likely in for a surprise. New Orleans roofers are charging $120 for every 100 square feet, nearly triple the going rate before Katrina. In Biloxi, Miss., building has resumed on houses that had been under construction. But the cost per square foot has increased from $80 to $99, real estate agent Nancy Stone Bourgeois said. The demand was obvious this week at a Home Depot in Gulfport, Miss., where customers’ cars stretched from the entrance out to the street. Contractor Robert Mackley of Gulfport, with a pickup truck full of lumber, said people have to understand why contractors are raising their rates. “It’s supply and demand,” he said. The increased cost of materials and strain put on the industry because of hurricane damage over the past two years in Florida “didn’t help anything. It’s going to drive everything up.” Even in places where there are plenty of contractors, demand far outstrips supply. In the battered Eden Isles subdivision of Slidell, La., across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, signs planted on street corners advertise everything from tear-out services to electrical work. The development hums with activity. But the need is so great that volunteers from Slidell’s First Baptist Church, who are ripping out soggy drywall throughout the neighborhood, have a waiting list of 400 homeowners, with more added every day. Getting contractors back in business is only one impediment to rebuilding. The appetite for construction materials and labor in the Gulf Coast will be voracious over the next few years, which could raise prices of wallboard, cement, Southern yellow pine and other building materials, said Robert Murray, an analyst with McGraw-Hill Construction Research and Analytics. Government encourages building in risky areas, critics say By JIM BARNETT c.2005 Newhouse News Service WASHINGTON — Americans depend on government to protect them from disasters. But after the toll taken by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, some policymakers ask whether government hasn’t instead enticed people into living, working and playing in dangerous places. The problem isn’t limited to hurricane-battered coastal areas, they say. Across the nation, people build homes and businesses near forests, riverbanks and other high-risk locales, largely because federal agencies provide infrastructure and financial help. While in the 1800s government gave settlers land to encourage development, modern-day incentives include wildfire-prevention, flood-control and beach-improvement projects. Financial bonuses such as subsidized flood insurance and tax deductions also lure people into harm’s way. “In a sense, we are giving people a false sense of security that we can protect them,” said Mike Dombeck, chief of the U.S. Forest Service during the Clinton administration. “The reality is that these natural forces are much bigger than we are.” The unintended result is a landscape of disasters waiting to happen: million-dollar bungalows on hurricane-battered Atlantic beachfronts, malls and suburbs in Midwestern floodplains and resort homes built at the edge of tinder-dry forests throughout the West. With the federal contribution to recovery from Katrina estimated at $100 billion or more, some in Congress are calling for new scrutiny of federal policies that can feed a cycle of development, devastation and reconstruction. “It’s amazing how it has suddenly dawned on people that we can’t keep doing things the same way,” said Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore. “I have found that this has moved up on the radar screen for a wide range of people.” Indeed, New Orleans residents knew long before Katrina hit that they lived in a risky place. But they also had put their faith in probabilities: A storm big enough to breach the lowest levees protecting the city would occur only once in 200 years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had calculated. If anything, Katrina proved that odds can be deceiving, said Don Sweeney, a retired corps economist. Many people fail to realize that a once-in200-year storm is as likely to happen in the first year as in the 200th, he said. Nevertheless, Sweeney and other critics said, growing numbers of people and businesses choose to play the odds — and do so with the tacit encouragement of federal, state and local governments. A glaring example is cropping up in the St. Louis suburb of Chesterfield, Sweeney said. After floods in 1993, the corps began upgrading surrounding levees. The town followed with new water and sewer lines, which in turn allowed for construction of a strip mall. Another flood will come, he said. The only question is when. “It’s a hard thing for people to wrap their minds around what these probability numbers mean,” said Sweeney, now a professor at the University of Missouri St. Louis. “If you wait long enough, you are certain to have a disaster.” The National Flood Insurance Program has been a perennial target for criticism because until last year, it allowed owners to file unlimited numbers of claims for recurring damage on the same property. Many rebuild bigger and better than before. “It has made it safe to build in high-risk areas, and it has increased the intensification of building at the coast,” said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Building Supply & Brickyard “ Fo r A l l Yo u r B u i l d i n g N e e d s ” WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR ALL YOUR BUILDING MATERIAL NEEDS!

An analysis of flood-insurance coverage by Newhouse News Service supports Ellis’ claim. The average amount of coverage per policy nearly doubled in constant dollars between 1978 and 2002, with coastal states such as North Carolina and Florida leading the way, the analysis found. Meanwhile, other incentives have encouraged people to build homes and businesses where they chance wildfires and droughts. Consider: • The 2003 Healthy Forests Restoration Act authorizes $760 million a year to thin fireprone forests, with at least half going to protect residential areas. But without strict local planning ordinances, the spending will encourage fur- ther suburban sprawl, critics said. “It’s an ever-expanding circle,” said Roger Kennedy, a former director of the National Park Service who is writing a book about government subsidies and their effect on development. “Until we focus on making the existing settlements safe and cease subsidizing extension into danger, we will not be saving people’s lives.” • Crop subsidies pose an indirect threat to growing communities in arid regions because they encourage farmers to irrigate with water pumped from underground aquifers, said Don Wilhite, a climatologist at the University of Nebraska. The result is a lower water table that jeopardizes all users. “All of a sudden, streams become intermittent, reservoirs don’t fill,” Wilhite said. “People are starting to figure this out.” • Income tax laws also encourage risky development, said Ellis of the taxpayer group. Homeowners can deduct mortgage interest on second homes, often built near coastlines, forests, mountains and other vulnerable places. Blumenauer said pressure to develop coastlines and other risky areas will mount as the U.S. population grows and becomes more affluent. But he says he is optimistic that Congress will learn from past mistakes as it pays for recovery from Katrina and Rita. “There’s chance to do this thing right,” Blumenauer said. “I think people get it.” ATTENTION To Reach The Mississippi Press Please Call: Circulation: 866-843-8911 Advertising: 866-265-3131 News: 866-843-9020 E-Mail: news@mspressonline.com THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 11-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Bombs kill 60; 5 U.S. soldiers die By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA The Associated Press AP Palestinian Rafat Moqadi pauses during an interview in his cell in a prison in the southern Israeli town of Beersheba, Israel, Thursday. A bomb strapped to his abdomen, Moqadi walked into a Tel Aviv restaurant and saw a woman dining with her two little girls. ‘Seeing that, I decided not to carry out the operation. I couldn’t do it,’ he said. Nationalism, zealotry, humiliation drive suicide bombers By STEVEN GUTKIN The Associated Press BEERSHEBA, Israel — A bomb strapped to his abdomen, Rafat Moqadi walked into a Tel Aviv restaurant and saw a woman dining with her two little girls. “Seeing that, I decided not to carry out the operation. I couldn’t do it,” he said. Yet, Moqadi said he longed for what he believes awaits a suicide bomber in the hereafter — God’s reward and a special place in heaven for martyrs. “He has a life in paradise,” he told The Associated Press on Thursday. “He doesn’t die.” A rare jailhouse interview with the would-be suicide bomber revealed a common thread running through the rising worldwide phenomenon: Most attackers are driven not by poverty or ignorance, but by a lethal mix of nationalism, zealotry and humiliation. As the pace of attacks increases in the Middle East and beyond, a surprising profile is emerging of those willing to take their own lives: Many are young, middle class and educated. Nearly four-fifths of all suicide attacks over the past 35 years have occurred since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist strikes in the U.S., according to the RAND Center for Terrorism Risk Management. And 80 percent of those have been carried out by radical Islamic groups, said the center’s director, Bruce Hoffman. But religion is only part of the picture. Moqadi said that wasn’t his motivation. “The main reason was to resist the (Israeli) occupation, to create a balance of power with the Israeli army,” he said. “At the moment they put the (explosives) belt on me there were a few seconds of doubt,” he said. “But after that I felt strength. I felt stronger than the whole state of Israel. It was a good feeling.” Moqadi, who is serving a 14year sentence in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, said he graduated high school and worked with his brothers laying tile before joining the Hamas militant group in 2002. The soft-spoken 26-year-old with neatly cropped hair said he did so in response to massive gunbattles between Israeli forces and Palestinians in Jenin. Now, Moqadi spends most of his time in jail learning to speak, read and write Hebrew, the language of the Jewish state. Islam, he said, teaches that it’s important to “know your enemy.” Moqadi is not alone in having doubts before pressing the button, said Ariel Merari, an Israeli psychologist who has interviewed numerous wouldbe bombers. “A person who volunteers usually hesitates. He has second thoughts,” Merari said. Often what makes the person carry out the mission is commitment to a group, making it difficult to back out without losing face, experts say. Many of today’s suicide bombers, especially in Iraq and the Palestinian territories, come from societies where many people condone the action, making it easier to execute. “Usually there are rites and rituals just before launching that constitute the last nail in the coffin,” Merari said. For Palestinian attackers, the last ritual is usually the making of a videotape in which the bomber proclaims commitment to national liberation. In Sri Lanka, when suicide bombings were prevalent, it was often a final dinner with rebel leader Velupillai Prabhakaran. Since the early 1980s, three countries have accounted for the vast majority of suicide bombings: Iraq, Israel and Sri Lanka. Iraq has become the global leader in suicide attacks, with an average of two a day during the past six months, attracting jihadists the world over, said Merari, who studies the issue at Tel Aviv University. The conflicts in Israel and Iraq provide a fertile battlefield for suicide bombers, just as the conflict in Lebanon did during the 1980s and the one in Sri Lanka did from 1987 to 2002. Hoffman attributes the sharp upturn in suicide bombings to their success in achieving the attackers’ goal. His studies reveal that suicide strikes around the world kill four times as many people as other kinds of terrorism. On Thursday alone, three suicide car bombs exploding nearly simultaneously killed at least 60 people in a city north of Baghdad. In Afghanistan, another post Sept. 11 war front, a man launched a rare suicide attack in that country Wednesday outside a military training center in Kabul, killing nine people and breaking 10 days of relative calm after landmark parliamentary elections. The bombing, the worst to hit Kabul in a year, added to fears insurgents could copy tactics used in Iraq. Recent studies have debunked some common misperceptions about suicide bombers: That most are poor, that they’re in it for personal revenge, that they’re crazy and uneducated. BAGHDAD, Iraq — Three suicide attackers exploded near-simultaneous car bombs in the heart of a bustling, mainly Shiite town Thursday, killing at least 60 people and wounding 70 amid a new surge of violence before an Oct. 15 referendum on Iraq’s constitution. Apparently aimed at killing a large number of Shiite civilians, the string of bombings started just before sunset when the first blast ripped through an open-air market crowded with Iraqis buying vegetables. The next bomb exploded at a bank just yards away, followed by a third on a nearby street of clothing shops. Sunni insurgents have vowed to wreck the referendum, whose passage is crucial to prospects for starting a withdrawal of American troops. Al-Qaida in Iraq has declared “all-out war” on the Shiite majority that dominates Iraq’s government, and moderate Sunni Arab leaders called on their community to reject the constitution, saying it will fragment Iraq and leave them weak compared to Shiites and Kurds. The U.S. ambassador has been struggling to negotiate changes to the charter in hopes of winning Sunni Arab support. Frustrating his efforts, Sunnis said U.S. troops raided the homes of two Sunni leaders on Thursday, fueling their sense of alienation in the political process. Also Thursday, the U.S. military announced the deaths of five U.S. soldiers Wednesday in a roadside bombing during combat in Ramadi, west of Baghdad, a hotbed of Iraq’s insurgency. It was the deadliest single attack against American troops in more than a month, bringing to 1,934 the number of U.S. service members who have died since Iraq’s war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. More than 140 people, including 13 U.S. service members, have been killed in the past four days. Until Thursday, however, Balad — 50 miles north of Baghdad and the site of a major U.S. military air base — had seen few major attacks. The blasts left streets strewn with body parts and wounded as emergency vehicles rushed in. The attackers detonated their explosivespacked cars within minutes of each other, starting at 6:45 p.m. at the Masraf Street market, then at nearby Bint alHassan Street, a major commercial avenue, said police Lt. Ghafil Hassan. Most of the 60 casualties were civilians, though among the 70 wounded were the police chief and four officers, said Dr. Khaled al-Azawi of Balad Hospital. Hassan said the toll could reach 75 dead and 100 wounded, saying there were still victims at the scene. In Washington, the top American commander in Iraq said Thursday that the process of withdrawing U.S. troops depends greatly on the results of the referendum and elections set to follow if the constitution passes. “The next 75 days are going to be critical,” Gen. George Casey told the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee. But Sunni Arab success in rejecting the constitution would set back the political process for months, prolonging Iraq’s political stability.

Exercise alone will not reduce body weight Counting may make the game easy What is the primary reason that experts can play bridge better than nonexperts? A clue can be found in this quotation by basketball coach John Wooden: “It is what we learn after we think we know it all that counts.” Right — Philip counting. Alder The more counting you do — points, winners, losers, points again, more points! — the better you will play. This deal is an easy example. You are South, the declarer in four spades after East has opened one club. West leads the club 10. East overtakes with the jack, cashes the club ace, takes the club king (West discarding a low heart), and continues with the club queen. What would you do now? Also, what do you think of the auction? After South made the automatic one-spade overcall, North jumped straight to four spades. It was unlikely that they had a slam after East had opened. North, though, might have started with a two-club cue-bid raise, which would promise spade support with at least limitraise values: 10-plus points or at most eight losers. At trick four, you must decide who holds the spade queen. If it is West, you must ruff with the spade king, then finesse through West. But if it is East, you should trump with the spade eight (or jack), then cross to dummy’s spade ace, and play a spade through East, finessing if his queen has not appeared. Count the points. Dummy has 14 and you hold 13. That leaves only 13 for the opponents, yet East opened. He must have the spade queen. Ruff with your spade eight. © 2005 NEA Inc. Dear Dr. Gott: It’s recommended by most medical experts that a person should raise his or her heart rate for 20 minutes a day, three times a week. Well, I’ve been doing just that. I work out with a lowimpact, 40-minute aerobic tape and a 30-minute aerobic tape with 5-pound hand-held weights six to seven days a week. In addition, I walk whenever possible. My weight will not come off. Do I need to increase my routine? Dear Reader: Many people mistakenly believe that moderate, regular exercise will burn off fat. It isn’t so. Although such exercise is healthful, as I’ll describe in a moment, strenuous activity is not the key to losing weight. A pound of fat contains 3,500 calories. Therefore, in order to lose a pound of adipose tissue each week, a person must expend 3,500 calories while exercising. This is, believe me, strenuous — on the order of two hours of competitive tennis singles on a warm summer afternoon. In addition, you have to take into account what the person would eat that day: on average, about 2,000 calories. Consequently, to lose a pound, our prospective athlete would, in reality, have to burn off closer to 5,500 calories each week, a daunting prospect for most adults. Reducing dietary calories is a much more efficient way to achieve weight loss. If, using our example, a person were to reduce dietary intake by 500 calories a day, he or she could lose a pound a week (500 multiplied by 7 equals 3,500), regardless of exercise. Such a goal can usually be accomPeter plished by Gott, M.D. reducing dietary fat to a minimum, eliminating alcohol and sweets, and consuming modest portions. With respect to exercise, you’re correct that many medical authorities endorse it — and the Heart and Lung Association guidelines are easily within reach of most adults. Exercise has several salutary effects that include improved circulation, reduced blood fats, more efficient sugar/carbohydrate metabolism, enhanced blood flow to heart muscle, lower blood pressure and a heightened sense of well-being, to mention a few. Also, because moderately strenuous exercise releases endorphins (chemical stimulants in the brain), such activity often relieves depression, anxiety and stress. Therefore, irrespective of weight considerations, regular exercise benefits the heart, the body and the mind. In your case, your unwanted extra weight may be a genetic characteristic that you’ll have to address, using the dietary modifications I mentioned. If you continue to be hungry (as you may well be, especially after exercise), snack on sugarfree sweets, fruits and raw vegetables. Stay away from candy, sugar, “junk foods” and the like.

Box 849, Pascagoula, MS 39564 Flirtation may end women’s friendship Dear Abby: For the past two summers, my husband and I have traveled out of state to visit my best friend from high school, “Grace,” and her live-in boyfriend. Our other girlfriend, “Dina,” joins us with her live-in boyfriend. Dina hasn’t been getting along with her boyfriend and seems to have emotionally latched Dear on to my Abby husband. (We’ve been married two years.) During the last visit, Dina wouldn’t drink a glass of wine unless she shared my husband’s glass. She laughed at everything he said, complimented his looks, took photos of him nonstop, and fawned all over him. My husband is flirtatious with all my friends and, although he didn’t do anything inappropriate during the weekend, I felt threatened and told him so. I feel Dina’s actions were disloyal and disrespectful of our 30-year friendship. For sure, I don’t want to do the couple thing again next summer. Is this a friend I should keep? — Furios in Roswell, Ga. Dear Furious: You may have known Dina for 30 years, but a friend like this you need like poison ivy. After the performance she put on, it’s no wonder she’s having trouble with her boyfriend. Although it’s possible she may have been trying to make him jealous, I wouldn’t blame you if you and Grace decided to limit your visits to a foursome from now on. Dear Abby: Our daughter is planning to marry a wonderful man this October. There’s only one problem — and it’s a doozy! Her fiance insists on inviting his ex-girlfriend of five years to attend the wedding, as well as all the family festivities surrounding the big day. Even though the ex has recently married, our daughter is very uncomfortable with this and has said so to her future husband. My husband and I are concerned that our daughter’s wedding day may be ruined and want to intervene to make it clear that ‘Mrs. X’ is not welcome. What do you think we should do, Abby? — Parents of the bride in Ohio Dear Parents: I think you should stay out of it. If your daughter is mature enough for marriage, she should be mature enough to deliver the message to her fiance that she’s uncomfortable having the Ghost of Romance Past at her nuptials. If they can’t reach an understanding or a compromise, I see a huge red flag ahead. 14-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Contact: Paul South, Editorial Page Editor, (866) 843-9020 E-mail address: editor@mspressonline.com OPINION Hurricanes turn lives topsy-turvy THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Wanda Heary Jacobs Publisher Stev e Cox Editor Tommy Chelette Advertising Director Billy Wilder Circulation Director LETTERS POLICY The Mississippi Press encourages letters to the editor.

Our Opinion The fool on the Hill Michael Brown continues to baffle, bother and bewilder with his failure to shoulder any of the responsibility for his catastrophic failure of leadership. In congressional testimony Wednesday, Brown blamed New Orleans and Louisiana officials, even the Bush White House for the cauldron of troubles caused by the ineptitude of his leadership. And, he pointed to “successes” in Mississippi. The fact is, the successes in our state came from church groups and other private organizations, as well as local governments, who were on the ground, up and running before the first FEMA personnel were here. U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor of Bay St. Louis is right: Brown gets an F-minus for his performance. It appears, Taylor has said in interviews, that FEMA used a cookie-cutter approach — the Florida model — for its response in Mississippi. Florida and Mississippi are night-and-day different when it comes to infrastructure, the number of major cities, and overall resources. Too, the former FEMA chief apparently forgot to factor in that most of the Mississippi National Guard is off in Iraq, fighting the war on terror No one expected Brown to get everyone our of New Orleans, or to micro-manage every problem in every devastated coastal Mississippi county or Louisiana parish. What we do expect of a FEMA director — as Taylor’s House colleague Chrisopher Shays rightly pointed out — is to coordinate federal resources with those of state and local agencies. Adding to the anger over Brown’s quick ability to point the finger at anyone but himself is that he still gets $140,000 in a consultant’s salary from FEMA. Michael Brown is a living, breathing example of all that’s wrong with the “It’s not what you know, but who you know” Beltway culture, where incompetence is rewarded, accountability lost and everything must be filled out in triplicate. Other Opinion The Hammer is laid aside Tom DeLay’s fellow House Republicans were hardly surprised by the majority leader’s indictment on charges of conspiracy to violate the campaign finance laws back home in Texas. In fact, they tried to plan for this eventuality early in the year by rescinding a rule that indicted congressional Republicans could retain their leadership positions. The negative reaction from the public and their own rankand-file forced the party leaders to reinstate that rule, and, accordingly, on Wednesday DeLay stepped aside. As House GOP whip and later leader, DeLay more than anyone in Washington consolidated the Republican hold on power and advanced the Bush agenda, but there’s a good chance that, fairly or unfairly, he may be out of the leadership for good. As tough and tenacious as DeLay is, he is certainly not someone to write off. But trials have a way of dragging on, and when that ordeal is over he faces an inquiry by the House ethics committee, which has already admonished him three times for various lapses, over whether he violated House rules by accepting lobbyist-paid travel. And conservative Republican backbenchers rebelled at a ploy by DeLay and House Speaker Dennis Hastert to install a compliant placeholder pending his return. Instead, Republican whip Roy Blunt moved up one step and he may not want to move back. Other ambitious Republicans would also like a crack at a leadership post. DeLay in essence is charged with laundering $190,000 in corporate campaign contributions through a national Republican political action committee and sending them back to Texas where such corporate contributions are illegal. The indictment does not tip the prosecutor’s hand. It is hard to say whether the alleged offense is a technicality or something more serious. It was, however, amusing to hear an unabashed partisan zealot — and proud of it — like DeLay denounce the Texas prosecutor as “an unabashed partisan zealot.” Part of the money in question went to fund a redistricting that resulted in five more Republican members of Congress from Texas. It was a signature DeLay move — brutal and effective. The DeLay case would do the nation a service if it exposes a true scandal in American politics: Tortured partisan redrawing of congressional and state legislative districts to produce noncompetitive, single-party districts, virtual rubber stamps for incumbents. DeLay was quick to attack the judicial branch. His threats of reprisals and impeachment against judges with whom he disagreed even drew a veiled rebuke from Chief Justice William Rehnquist. It is a small irony that his fate is now in the hands of that same judiciary he so often abused. — Scripps Howard News Service FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Rick sav ictim of prejudice To the editor: As a pastor in Moss Point and Escatawpa, I have worked closely with Police Chief Michael Ricks. For instance, I was a graduate of his Citizens’ Police Academy, which was developed to foster unity in the community by building a bridge of communication between the police department and the people of Moss Point. The statistics prove it has worked well. What bothers me is how Mayor Xavier Bishop has deliberately worked to obfuscate the truth regarding the resignation of Chief Ricks, stating that he doesn’t know why the chief resigned. When his has been a campaign of harassment and intimidation from the day he took office. Culminating with the recent hurricane. During that time, Chief Ricks worked tirelessly to assure that all of Moss Points’ citizens were afforded the basic necessities to sustain life, even carrying water, food, and ice himself to those who could not get to the drop-off sites themselves. For those actions, he was severely chastened by the mayor, who asserted that such was not the chief ’s job. My question concerns the police officers’ oath to “serve and protect.” The mayor’s only concern was that he first wasn’t contacted. For those who have ever had management experience, in order to be successful you must allow those under your authority to carry out their respective duties without micro-managing every detail. To do so, exposes the lack of ability, not of the subordinate, but, rather the manager. Otherwise, there would be no need to have others to carry out the mandate of responsibilities when you could do it yourself. For this, Chief Ricks was charged with inappropriate conduct — as if there was a crime committed. This is an outrage! An open affront to the people of Moss Point who deserve the truth. There has never been a time in my 29 years in Jackson County that the people — who are predominately black — felt as secure in Moss Point as they have these last three years during the tenure of Chief Ricks. Regrettably, however, we have a legacy of racism and bigotry in this city that is unrivaled on the Coast and yet, when we have individuals in public service, such as Chief Ricks, (who has undeniably exposed the source of such despicable hatred) the head of the dog gets wagged by the tail again. What do I mean? Why, the very elected officials of the city, i.e., Mayor Bishop and the Board of Aldermen who swore to serve the people have now proven that those positions are puppets controlled by the same “good ole boy” cartel that has demonized the people of this city for generations. It is a despicable picture when people of one race allow their hatred of another to continue to foster the demise of Moss Point, not to mention their own eternal salvation. However, for the life of me, I cannot fathom how one can allow themselves to be used to further racism and bigotry against one’s own people, as have the Mayor and a couple of the Aldermen. Another Judas perhaps? Yes, I said it — and it needs saying! How does it feel when you look at yourself in the mirror? Maybe the hands in your pocket help to soothe your conscience? However, there is a day of reckoning. I challenge the people of Moss Point to question loud and long these latest actions that FORCED Chief Ricks out. We are entitled to answers. It is time that these issues are addressed. It’s not going away. Moss Point will never grow because of the stench of prejudice hanging over us. We must not allow elected officials to go unchecked. What happened to “of the people, by the people, and for the people?” There are some of us who will not quit until Moss Point is a safe haven that is equitable for all regardless of race or economic status. The Rev . Dav id Mathews Moss Point A letter to President Bush Editor’s Note: This letter, addressed to President George W. Bush, came to The Mississippi Press from 12-year-old reader Macie Joiner of Pascagoula. Dear Mr. Bush: I hope you take this letter into deep consideration, being that it would be the first time you listened to your country. We are all very disappointed in your reaction to Hurricane Katrina. As you know — and as we all know — Hurricane Katrina was a Category 4 hurricane as it ripped through the Gulf Coast. It took the government five days to get food and water to all of these people. Shouldn’t you have known before the hurricane even hit that since it was a Category 4 or 5 storm it was going to mess up this country really bad. Anybody else would have known, especially you, being the president. You should have known it was going to make gas prices rise. You should have known it was going to break the levees in New Orleans, being that they were only made to withstand a Category 3 Hurricane. And the whole time this was going on, you were taking a nice, quiet vacation. Lucky you. You need to learn a lot more about your country. Macie Joiner Pascagoula Moss Point resident offers encouragement To the editor: My heart aches for the people along the coastal area affected by Hurricane Katrina. To experience a loss of your home and personal property you work so hard to obtain is something I would never want anyone to go through. I can personally relate to the events that have taken place over the last month. Over the course of several years I have had to contend with a house that has a history of flooding. My house has flooded five times and each time my children and I were at the mercy of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business Administration. I have contacted federal, state and local officials only to be left without a permanent solution to my problem. My children and I are still held in bondage. We are still dealing with a poor drainage and sewage system. The rain is just an additional problem. I have listened to so many people in recent days playing the blame game and pointing fingers at FEMA. But my opinion is that unless you go through the entire process, you don’t know how the system will try to assist you. On numerous occasions I had to rely upon FEMA to repair my home. My children and I would have been homeless had it not been for FEMA, MEMA and the SBA and got the assistance I needed. The city of Moss Point will not admit that there is a severe drainage and sewage problem. Nevertheless, I still occupy a home that floods on a regular basis. I have watched devastated people with almost no hope after Hurricane Katrina. I do know what so many are experiencing during this particular hurricane season. I want to encourage those who feel they are without hope and troubled in heart to be encouraged: “Weeping may endure for a moment, but joy comes in the morning,” the Scripture says. Keep praying for one another, because together we will rise up, restore and rebuild. We will rebuild stronger and wiser. So many are angry at President Bush, city and state officials. Everyone must give an account of every deed done. We must learn from our mistakes and not repeat them. This is the United States of America. Debra K. Jones Moss Point As Katrina survivors know all too well, hurricanes get things scrambled up. Winds and waves toss trees, cars, boats and houses into heaps of rubble. Besides altering the physical landscape, hurricanes also reorder the affairs of humans. We moved to the Gulf Coast in 1977. I well remember our first hurricane, Hurricane Frederic. We were without power for two and a half weeks. We brought our frozen shrimp to a huge freezer storage facility in Gulfport to try and save it. Although we clearly marked our packages, they were not there when we went to pick them up weeks later. Instead, we received Charles some packages Brooks left by other people. Hurricane Elena was especially fickle. We evacuated twice. Elena came in straight for Pascagoula, and we headed for Hattiesburg. We spent two nights in a shelter, then Elena stopped dead in her tracks and went toward Panama City, Fla. We went back home. Elena churned off the coast of Florida for several days, then headed right back for us. This time, we went all the way to Meridian as Elena plowed ashore on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Having heard horror stories of Hurricane Camille and seen the pictures of devastation, we have always respected hurricanes, even though we are not Coast natives. I have stayed home for only one hurricane — Hurricane Georges — and that was by mistake. All the weather reports had Georges headed straight for New Orleans, so I decided to stick it out at home. My wife and mother-in-law were in California visiting relatives, and my son evacuated just in case. Late at night, Hurricane Georges took a sharp right turn and headed right for my bed. I stayed up as long as I could, listening to the radio and the increasing wind. I dallied with the idea of sleeping in the closet as a strong interior location. But I finally got in bed thinking, “If I’m going to die, I might as well be comfortable.” When I awoke the next morning, Georges was still raging. The French doors on the south side of the house bulged in an inch with every gust. When I had to retrieve something from the other side of the house, I rushed past, fearing the doors might burst in at any moment. Katrina’s devastation has been far worse than any storm in my lifetime. One-hundred-year-old houses have been wiped away. Refugees from New Orleans evacuated to Texas, only to be threatened anew by Hurricane Rita. Our house was spared. We sit on a bluff in Gautier, not far from a bayou and the Mississippi Sound. Katrina’s floodwaters left a landscaping timber in our front yard, but did not enter the house. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of our friends and neighbors who have lost everything. Since Katrina’s passing, friends whose Pascagoula house was damaged have been staying in our house, while I have been staying with a friend in Mobile. The Mississippi Press has been published in Mobile since our offices on Jackson Avenue were flooded. My sailboat was ripped from its mooring in the Pascagoula Inner Harbor and deposited in the back yard of a home nearby. A month later, my boat is back on its mooring, minus mast. Life is slowly, slowly getting back to normal. Displaced people are starting to put the pieces of their lives back together. Charles Brooks is a copy editor for The Mississippi Press.

The Mississippi Press GAUTIER — Although there is discrepancy over the exact year the Henry Gautier House was actually built, there is no arguing the fact that it was a longstanding fixture in the community as Gautier’s third oldest home. Henry Gautier built the house in the 1870s by floating the lumber down the Pascagoula River. Its current owner, Dorothy Gautier, was standing in the kitchen of Jack and Catherine Womack when she saw the lumber make its return journey. “I always walk down the street to stay with Jack and Catherine during storms,” Gautier said. “And when it’s all over I just walk back home. I had water and everything I needed all ready because I’m always ready to get home afterwards to start cleaning up. But as I stood in Catherine’s kitchen I saw this pile of lumber floating down the street and I thought now where’s all that lumber coming from? Then, I realized it was probably my house.” Over the years, the house had withstood many storms without significant damage, including Camille, but with the house sitting only 13 feet above sea level it met its fate against the immense storm surge of Hurricane Katrina. “I put everything in the hands of God,” she said. “Everyone keeps asking what I’m going to do now that the house is gone and I’m not going to do anything but wait for God to tell me what to do.” Even though everything the Gautier native owns is scattered within the sea-licked trees as far away as the railroad tracks on Graveline Road and her property is now imbedded with chalky-white oyster shells instead of grass, she’s still in good spirits. “Jack walked down here the Submitted Photo The Henry Gautier house was a fixture in the community since the 1870s and survived several storms over the years, including Hurricane Camille. other day and saw one of my Christmas decorations. He walked back up to the house and said he’d found one wise man and wanted to know where the other two had gotten to. We just laughed because that’s all you really can do at this point. I miss my house, but we’re going to make the best of it,” she said. Gautier said her dog, Abby, is missing their home as well. “The first day we walked down here, Abby ran right to where her room would be and then to the kitchen like she does when she’s hungry, but just looked at me like she was confused,” she said with a laugh. Gautier said saying the Serenity Prayer is one of the ways she will get through the loss of her home, but said she will deeply miss the numerous family reunions and Christmas gatherings held on the family estate. “We were actually thinking about planning another Gautier family reunion this year,” she said. “And we might still have it, but we’ll just have to have it under Grandpa’s oak tree instead.” The tree she’s referring to is one that sat in front of the house and was planted by Henry Gautier himself. “I was devastated by the New Orleans flood damage estimated by firm at $22.6B NEW YORK (AP) — Hurricane Katrina caused at least $22.6 billion in flood damage to commercial and residential property in New Orleans — and nearly that much to private property in other areas hit by the storm last month, according to estimates released Thursday by a major risk assessment company. The total flood damage was more than $44 billion, said AIR Worldwide Corp., a risk-modeling firm based in Boston. Louisiana areas outside of New Orleans suffered $16.2 billion in damage from storm surge. Other estimates included $4.4 billion in water damage in Mississippi, $793 million in Alabama and $32 million in Florida. The figures include water damage to residential and commercial property, including onshore oil facilities, but not roads, bridges or other infrastructure, the company said. Jayanta Guin, vice president of research and modeling at AIR Worldwide, said in the report that Katrina caused “an unprecedented level” of water damage. SBA From Page 1-A rorist attacks on New York, Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia, called the damage from Katrina “something on a totally different scale. Here, we’re not dealing with (city) blocks, we’re dealing with square miles.” He said SBA officials will be working to get people to file loan applications with the agency in order to be eligible for other emergency aid if they don’t qualify for an SBA loan. “Our goal is to approve loans in days,” he said. “This is going to be an ongoing relationship. We’re going to have our disaster assistance people here for as long as we need them. Herb Mitchell, SBA’s Disaster Assistance Division head, said that 1.2 million Mississippi residents have filed with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and SBA has mailed 900,000 disaster loan assistance applications. He said 32,000 applications have been returned. “We are committed to helping all those people assigned to us and to make sure they understand the process,” Mitchell said. “For most folks, this is the first time they are filling out a loan application.” The challenge, he said, is that many people do not want to fill out the application. “Some of them say, ‘I don’t want a loan,’” he said. “After a disaster, people either rely on insurance, SBA or FEMA grants, and you can’t get to the grant program until you go through the SBA process.” Reporter John Surratt can be reached at jsurratt@mspressonline.com or (251) 2195551.

Gautier feels certain someone from the family will rebuild on her grandfather’s property eventually because the house and the land always has been such a beloved place for the Gautier family. “Really this house that everyone loved belonged to God and, thankfully, he let us live in it for a little while,” she said. “But someone will live here again.

Bridges From Page 1-A Brown said the paving on the old bridge will be removed and recycled. Some of the pavement will be used by the Department of Marine Resources to develop an offshore reef, while the rest will be ground up to be used as building or paving material or to form a barrier around the new bridge pilings to protect them. The current bridge decks, he said, would be used by the contractor as work decks and be removed after the new decks are built. Brown said the contractor working on the I-10 long bridge repair is working under a contract that allows him to receive $100,000 per day for every day he finishes the project ahead of schedule. “If he’s late, he’ll be paying us $100,000,” he said. “But it looks like we’ll have to pay him.” He said the contractor has had crews working on the repairs 24 hours a day to complete the project. “He even worked through (Hurricane) Rita,” Brown said. “He wasn’t able to do too much, but he had crews working a few days.” Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd said completing the long bridge repairs should help alleviate some of the county’s traffic problems. “People have been bypassing that area by going along (U.S.) Highway 90; it congests everything,” he said. “Getting that section of I-10 fixed will clear up those problems.” Reporter John Surratt can be reached at jsurratt@mspressonline.com or (251) 2195551.

And the Johnsons are not alone. John and Martha Lewis have had their trailer at their 13th Street home for 11 days, but with no keys. Some utilities have been connected but they are still waiting on their keys. They usually make sure one of them is on the property at all times so they do not miss “the key guy,” a title residents have coined. The only time the Lewises left their home together was to celebrate their 47th wedding anniversary over dinner. Two guys from Dade County, Fla., strangers who helped them do some repairs, sent them cut flowers for the occasion. Bobby Johnson said he understands the Lewises’ decision. “You’ve just got to get away because it gets to you mentally just waiting around for somebody that’s not showing up,” he said. The Lewises, both retired, have been sleeping on an air mattress and taking cold showers. “No one seems to know where the keys for the trailers are. It would make things a lot more bearable if we could just get in,” John Lewis, 67, said. “We know everybody’s in the same boat we are and we’re grateful to have our trailer. We’re usually patient but if we could be using (the trailer) it would make life easier,” Martha Lewis, 66, a retired teacher, said. Inquiries to FEMA regarding the mobile homes were referred to Maryland-based Bechtal Corp. Bechtal was contracted by FEMA to deliver the trailers and the utilities. Bechtal spokesperson Brenda Thompson said crews first place the trailer on the property, then utilities are connected later and inspected and a meeting is held with residents for orientation on the trailer’s equipment. After that meeting, she said, keys are delivered within one or two days. She could not confirm rumors that hundreds of keys had been lost. Another Bechtal representative confirmed Thursday that no more trailers will be delivered to Pascagoula until crews can get caught up on the utility connections. Earlier this week, 2,100 trailers were reportedly delivered to Jackson County with more on the way. The Johnsons and Lewises, and other residents, say not having a point of contact or phone number to call has also been frustrating. Thompson said there is no number to call.

The process now in place will get the temporary homes hooked up faster, Kidder said. The system, he acknowledged, will not please everyone. It will take time to get enough trailers to meet the need in the county, he said. “We’re getting a lot of work orders in this county. We’re getting a lot of travel trailers into this county as compared to the other two counties,” Kidder said. “We are having difficulties getting them ready for occupancy but I think we’re starting to make headway on this thing.” According to data released Thursday, almost 6,000 individuals have made applications and 2,500 work orders have been released. Approximately 1,372 units have been delivered; 218 are ready for occupancy and 190 are occupied. “I’d like some clarity as to who is supposed to be checking for the sewer line. I was just told today that the customer has to locate their own sewer line,” said Moss Point Alderwoman Aneice Liddell, during Thursday’s housing briefing at Gautier City Hall. Bechtal Corp. spokesman John Kloessner said cus- tomers can help expedite the process in several ways. Customers can clear debris to move the trailer; flag sewer and water lines; have a visible address and FEMA number and mark the proposed trailer area. FEMA contracted Maryland-based Bechtal to deliver and set up the trailers. Kloessner said haulers will not know the layout of the property and could spend an hour seeking a sewer line. “If The customer goes out and locates it, we’re done almost instantly. It can help them get the job done more quickly if they can go locate the sewer line. That’s what we’re asking. We’re not saying go out and dig a hole or anything else, but spend a little bit of time,” he said. Liddell suggested such pertinent information should be given during the application process. The cruise ship Holiday, a housing alternative docked in Mobile, is housing more than 600 storm victims. The ship is capable of housing between 1,000 to 1,500 people.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 Analysts say hurricanes’ impact on economy less than expected WASHINGTON (AP) — The economic fallout from the twin hurricanes that hit the Gulf Coast may be less severe than first estimated, the Congressional Budget Office said Thursday. The agency’s director, Douglas HoltzEakin, said in a letter to congressional leaders that hurricanes Katrina and Rita may have “more modest” economic consequences than the CBO had anticipated. The CBO estimated that their overall impact on the economy will be about onehalf of a percentage point for the second half of the year, compared with as much as a percentage point as seen in a Sept. 6 analysis. “Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have temporarily reduced the growth of economic output, but the effects that rebuilding will have on economic activity may more than offset the drag by early next year,” the CBO said. When considering private and government support for recovery and rebuilding, the storms will not affect growth in the gross domestic product over the final three months of 2005, Holtz-Eakin said. In fact, economic growth “could even be somewhat higher than was projected before the hurricanes,” said Holtz-Eakin, head of the nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budget data to Congress. Most of the economic losses — as much as 1.5 percentage points — would come in the July through September period. Before the hurricane struck, the CBO said the economy would grow at an annual rate of between 3 percent and 4 percent in the second half of the year. Employment was forecast to grow by 150,000 to 200,000 workers per month. The CBO estimates that between 280,000 and 400,000 people lost jobs as a result of Katrina; the impact of Rita is expected to be much smaller. “By early next year, the pace of reconstruction will probably cause the net effect of the hurricanes on jobs nationwide to be minimal,” according to the CBO report. The Sept. 6 report had given only a “ballpark estimate.” It is too early to predict Katrina’s impact on the federal budget. But the CBO predicts the $62 billion appropriated so far for hurricane relief will add about $30 billion to the deficit for the budget year that begins Saturday. Let us help you help Mississippi.

LOUIS • Chevron From Page 1-A those higher prices than it will be harmed by the losses from the temporary closure of a major refinery, said industry analyst Fadel Gheit of Oppenheimer & Co. “It’s kind of like one step back, but two steps forward for Chevron,” Gheit said. Chevron’s shares rose 79 cents, or 1.2 percent, to close at $65.77 on the New York Stock Exchange. Earlier in the session, the shares surged to a new 52-year high of $65.98. The shares have traded as low as $49.81 during the past year. Oil prices were already high before Hurricane Katrina, so there’s little doubt Chevron’s third-quarter profit would have been higher if not for the damage to its Mississippi refinery, which can produce up to 325,000 barrels of oil per day. The company estimated Hurricane Katrina and earlier storm trouble will lower its production in the quarter by 75,000 barrels of oil per day. The period ends Friday. Reflecting Katrina’s impact on Chevron, the consensus analyst estimate for its thirdquarter earnings fell to $2.06 per share Thursday, down from $2.09 per share before the warning, according to Thomson Financial. But oil prices seem likely to stay high through the rest of the year, partly because of additional damage caused to oil rigs by Hurricane Rita. That puts Chevron in a better position to fully capitalize when the Mississippi refinery resumes production, Gheit said. Higher energy prices also make Chevron’s recently completed $18 billion acquisition of Unocal Corp. look like a better deal. The takeover gives Chevron a valuable supply of oil and natural gas in Asia and the Gulf Coast. Higher profit margins, driven by the rising price of oil and gasoline, already have helped soften Katrina’s blow. Chevron said its refining profit margins during the third quarter rose by $1.48 per barrel from the second quarter. Besides the profits wiped out in Katrina, Chevron’s third-quarter results also were hurt by environmental c lean u p c osts tha t were slightly higher than management anticipated. The company estimated the thirdquarter charge for covering those costs will range between $250 million and $300 million, above its earlier guidance of $160 million to $200 million.

WITTNER The Mississippi Press A couple of special team blunders cost the George County Rebels a win at home over Niceville, Fla. last week, but head coach Al Jones knows tonight his team must focus on winning games. After winning three straight Region 7-4A titles, the Rebels now face their first game on the Region 4-5A schedule when they travel to Harrison Central. “The real season begins against Harrison Central,” Jones said. “Everyone is 0-0 in region play and everyone is trying to make the playoffs. We have to come out and play hard and not make mistakes.” The Rebels (1-2) have seen two different Red Rebel (2-0) teams on tape. Harrison Central picked up a 26-21 win over D’Iberville to start the season, and resumed its season last week with a 21-13 win over Northeast Jones. “The are very athletic on offense and defense,” Jones said. “We’ve really seen some different things on tape. Against D’Iberville they really controlled the football and against Northeast Jones they spread it out some in the first half and got a couple of defensive scores. “Their defense can really do s o m e g o o d Jones things.” The George County offense has had its ups-and-downs in the early Five teams, three spots Greyhounds square off with Hancock in Major League Baseball By NANCY ARMOUR The Associated Press FLORIDA LOTTERY Cash 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2-7-2 Play 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3-5-9-6 Fantasy 5 . . . . .7-11-22-26-31 LOUISIANA LOTTERY Pick 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .na Pick 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .na Cash Quest . . . . . . . . . . . . .na and they have been playing better.

The last weekend of the baseball season should be a sizzler, with pennant races far from over and a wild-card berth up for grabs. Three teams are fighting for the last two spots in the American League playoffs, the tightest finale in a decade. And it’s going to take a backyard brawl to knock out the loser. Yankees vs. Red Sox, White Sox vs. Indians. “We all know what the situation is,” New York Yankees manager Joe Torre said. “To think that it’s come down to a handful of games to decide what 157 couldn’t decide, that’s great for baseball — but not too good for my stomach.” Things aren’t nearly so exciting over in the National League, where Atlanta, St. Louis and San Diego have wrapped up the division titles. But the Philadelphia Phillies are still hanging around the wildcard race, trailing Houston by two games. “It’s fun, man,” Philadelphia’s Michael Tucker said. “All you can do at this point is play hard. This is one of those things that not a lot of people experience. You have to go out there and have fun and see what happens.” One or two races usually go down to the final weekend. But this weekend’s matchups are particularly juicy. The Yankees and Red Sox are playing at Fenway Park for the AL East title, and that series could affect Cleveland’s postseason chances. The Indians host the White Sox. “It just doesn’t get any better this,” the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez said. “This is the best time of my life, the most fun time in my baseball career. I don’t remember a race like this since I’ve been around.” The Yankees, Red Sox and Indians were within one game of each other with three to play, and it takes a calculator and some graph paper to figure out the different scenarios. Chicago clinched the AL Central by beating Detroit 4-2 on Thursday. But Cleveland was still alive in the wild-card race, tied with Boston. The Red Sox were a game behind the Yankees in the AL East, with a three-game series at Fenway Park beginning Friday. Got all that? “I’m not good in math,” White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. “That’s why I just say, ‘Come back tomorrow and win the game.’ “ While some fans don’t like a schedule that loads up on games against division rivals, especially at the end of the season — “We’re sick of seeing (fill in the blank)” — this weekend is the perfect argument for it. Yankees-Red Sox is one of the best rivalries in all of sports no matter if it’s April or October. They’ve finished 1-2 in the East the last seven years, and their feisty fan base reaches far beyond the East Coast. The Yankees are baseball’s going this season with running back Aaron Johnson and Ryan Scott carrying the bulk of the offense and quarterback Jordan Scott and wide receiver Wendell Fairley have hooked up for a pair of touchdowns this season. “ We r e a l l y s t r u g g l e d against Wayne County, but I think we have gotten better each game since then,” Jones said. “We are getting some young kids a chance to play ■ Pascagoula looks to extend streak in Gulfport Josh Johnson The Mississippi Press Ocean Springs looks to put its 5A No. 6 ranking on the line tonight in a District 8 contest with a Hancock team the Greyhounds haven’t had much success against over the past six seasons. Hancock has won five of the last six contests between the Greyhounds, but Ocean Springs won in 2004, and according to football coach Steve Jones, his team should have won in 2003. The Greyhounds also lost another onepoint contest, 14-13, during the last year of Darrell Hardcastle’s tenure in 2002. “My first year up here we fumbled late in the game and lost, 19-18,” said Jones. “Last year, we beat them pretty handily (42-0). “It’s a big district game, but we’re going to have to worry about ourselves. We can’t make too many mistakes.” Also, another concern for Jones and his team, especially his coaching staff, is preparing for the unknown against Hancock. Due to Hurricane Katrina, Hancock hasn’t played since a opening week loss to Bay High, 30-14, but Jones feels Hawks’ football coach Walt Eslinger probably hasn’t changed things up too much. “They haven’t played since before the hurricane, so that’s a bit of a concern because that’s the only film I have on them,” said Jones. “You don’t know what they’ve changed, but knowing them, I don’t think they’ve changed much.” The unknown hasn’t stopped the Greyhounds from having a good week of practice. Jones said his team hasn’t had a hangover from its win over then 4A’s No. 9 ranked Picayune squad last Friday night. The Greyhounds were led by The Mississippi Press’ Co-Player of the Week Chanse Cooper, who accounted for two touchdowns in a 21-7 victory “Wednesday, we had a good practice,” said Jones. “We were kind of sluggish Tuesday, but it was hot. I really don’t gauge the progress of the team until we put the pads on.” Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Pascagoula at Gulfport, 3 p.m. Pascagoula travels to Gulfport today looking for two straight road wins over the Admirals. The Panthers have fallen to Gulfport in 10 of the last 13 contests, and lost last season, 38-21. Pascagoula’s last win over the Admirals came two years ago in a 20-10 victory, breaking a six-game slid against Gulfport. Today’s game is set for 3 p.m.WPWP-1580 wil broadcast the game from Gulfport.

Lady Hornets roll ■ Whitney Melton leads ECHS to sweep of Gautier By JR. WITTNER The Mississippi Press HURLEY — East Central volleyball coach Keith Tucker had a feeling junior Whitney Melton was going to be a solid player with some time for his team this season. She is proving she doesn’t need anymore time. Melton and Christy Golden each finished the match with 19 kills as the Lady Hornets moved to 3-0 in division with a 25-18, 25-11, 25-18 win over Gautier Thursday night. Gautier, who has not been able to practice since Hurricane Katrina struck more than a month ago, showed some rust, but coach Teri Carpenter still feels her team will get better. "Our first bump pass tonight really got us in trouble," Carpenter said. "We were kind of scrambling offensively to get anything going. "East Central has a very good team and they showed that tonight." The Lady Hornets jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the opening game as Melton put together four straight service points. After a kill by Brittiany Gaines made it a 6-2 game, Gautier battled to tie the match as Gaines added another kill and Ashley Pilkington scored four straight point. Golden put East Central back in front with a kill and after a kill by Gautier’s Amanda Hollis put the Lady Gators back in front, Golden sent another spike to the floor to reclaim the lead. Golden then put the Lady Hornets back in front with some solid play from the service line as she recorded an ace and three points and East Central never looked back. "Christy and Whitney both had great games for us," Tucker said. "I really feel like we are gelling as a team right know." Gautier climbed back in the opening game, but BreAnn Dykes helped put the game away with four service points. Gautier took an early lead in game two, but East Central scored five straight points as Lisa Buchanon served in an ace and Melton sent a kill to the floor for a 52 lead. Melton then got hot from the service line scoring four points, and another Golden kill put the Lady Hornets ahead for good. "We are playing pretty good right now," Tucker said. "We’ve moved some players See LADY HORNETS, Page 2-B AP From left, Paul Konerko, Joe Crede, A.J. Piersynski and Juan Uribe celebrate the Chicago White Sox’s win over Detroit on Thursday. Chicago clinches AL Central title By The Associated Press DETROIT — Paul Konerko homered to back Freddy Garcia and lead the White Sox over the Detroit Tigers 4-2 Thursday, clinching Chicago’s first AL Central title since 2000. Chicago built a 15-game lead in the division on Aug. 1, then saw it dwindle to 1 1/2 games as Cleveland closed. The White Sox survived a shaky ninth inning to win their AL-best 96th game and will start the playoffs at home next week. Yankees 8, Orioles 4 BALTIMORE — Aaron Small took a one-hitter into the seventh inning to improve to 10-0, and New York got homers from Jason Giambi and Hideki Matsui to keep its lead over Boston in the AL East at one game.

East Central senior setter Courtney Ford left Hurley during the hurricane forcing Tucker to move some players around.

NCAA donates $1.5 million, collecting money at championships INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA is donating $1.5 million to hurricane relief and will collect additional money during its national championships this year in a new partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Under the Home Team program announced Thursday, officials from NCAA Division II have made a $1 million donation, while the NCAA national office is donating an additional $500,000. The NCAA has also agreed to promote Habitat for Humanity’s hurricane rebuilding efforts at its national championships. College sports’ largest governing body also hopes athletes, coaches, athletics administrators and NCAA employees will volunteer to assist in rebuilding efforts. The NCAA plans to sponsor houses in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, where Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused the most severe damage. Golf Warren leads Chrysler Classic of Greensbror GREENSBORO, N.C. — Charles Warren shot a 30 on the front nine and tied the course record with a 10-under 62 to take the first-round lead Thursday in the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro, beating his previous best on the PGA Tour by four shots. Warren, who has made only two cuts in his past 15 starts, was two shots clear of K.J. Choi and three ahead of fellow Clemson alum D.J. Trahan. Scoring in the afternoon improved greatly as Forest Oaks didn’t quite dry out as expected, and the top seven enjoyed the easier conditions. John Rollins had the best round of the early starters — he was in the first group off No. 10 at 7:30 a.m. — and carded a 67 that left him tied for eighth. Sergio Garcia had a 69, as did U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Lehman, and Adam Scott put himself in danger of missing the cut with a 73.
