It’s really scary,” Shalonda Dunn said as she and her 5- and 9-year-old daughters waited to board a bus arranged by emergency Chevron’s donations to target children authorities in Galveston. “I’m glad we’ve got the opportunity to leave. ... You never know what can happen.” With Rita projected to hit Texas by Saturday, Gov. Rick Perry urged residents along the state’s entire coast to begin evacuating. And New Orleans braced for the possibility that the storm could swamp the miserystricken city all over again. Galveston, low-lying parts of Corpus Christi and Houston, and mostly emptied-out New Orleans were under mandatory evacuation orders as Rita sideswiped the Florida Keys and began drawing energy with terrifying efficiency from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Forecasters said Rita could be the most intense hurricane on record ever to hit Texas, and easily one of the most powerful ever to plow into the U.S. mainland. Category 5 is the highest on the scale, and only three Category 5 hurricanes are known to have hit the U.S. mainland — most See RITA, Page 12-A Officials keep wary eye on Rita By JOHN SURRATT The Mississippi Press PASCAGOULA — Emergency workers assisting in Jackson County’s recovery are keeping watch on the Gulf of Mexico and Hurricane Rita as they continue their efforts across the county. Rita, which formed last week off the Florida Coast, was headed west at 13 mph, with a predicted landfall somewhere along the Southwest Texas Coast possibly near Galveston, See EYE, Page 12-A AFTER KATRINA: Bay St. Louis/Waveland ■ Company gives $750,000 to help rebuild Jackson County By DONNA HARRIS The Mississippi Press PASCAGOULA — Chevron Pascagoula Refinery handed out three checks Wednesday to speed up hurricane Cherie Cole relief efforts in Jackson to head County. The company gave rebuilding away $750,000, divided initiative, equally among the Page 6-A Pascagoula School District, the United Way and Rebuild Jackson County, with a special focus on children, teachers and childcare providers. The donation is part of Chevron’s initial $5 million contribution for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The company gave $3 million to the American Red Cross and set aside $2 million for special local initiatives such as those announced Wednesday.

City condemns six apartment complexes ■ City officials evict residents, citing health, safety concerns By BRAD CROCKER The Mississippi Press PASCAGOULA — Some local residents who had roofs over their heads despite a housing shortage caused by Hurricane Katrina are about to join the ranks of the homeless, a move they have feared since Katrina struck on Aug. 29. For “obvious health hazards and/or safety hazards,” Pascagoula Building Official Steve Mitchell said the city has begun to condemn apartment complexes damaged by the historic storm that flooded 90 percent of the city, roughly 8,000 structures citywide. Residents in five apartment complexes have until Tuesday to move out. If they choose to go to a shelter, Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency will help them with temporary housing while their apartments are being repaired, which could take months. More complexes and dwellings will likely face the same fate. “We have no choice or really any say in the matter,” Mitchell said. Cornell and Michelle Stanton and their two See APARTMENTS, Page 12-A HOPE AMONG THE RUINS Waveland family’s roots run deep By DONNA HARRIS The Mississippi Press WAVELAND — A hungry Katrina seemed to eat everything in her path as she came ashore Aug. 29, and Waveland was the first to go. State officials say the city of 7,000 people in Hancock County, just 17 miles from the Louisiana state line, took a harder hit from the wind and water than any other Mississippi coastal community. The storm destroyed nearly every building within a half mile of the beach. Where beach front homes once stood, facing the Gulf of Mexico, barely anything remains. Stairs that withstood the 145-mph winds and at least a 25-foot storm surge lead to nowhere in a lot scattered with lumber like matchsticks on a dirt floor.

A lone metal sign, on a pole slightly bent, stands out of the flatness that was once the town’s business district. The stark irony pours from the words: “In appreciation and gratitude to all who gave their time, energy and money to help us recover from Hurricane Camille.” Just 36 years and 12 days after that hurricane, Katrina took away all that had been rebuilt.

Three controlled explosions in rapid succession brought down a 50-foottall section of the casino that was heaved onto U.S. 90 when Hurricane Katrina roared ashore Aug. 29. The Mississippi Department of Transportation, which oversaw the demolition, hopes to reopen the stretch of highway in downtown Gulfport within 10 days, spokeswoman Gae Blain said. “Everything was a success,” she said. More than half of the 13 casinos in Gulfport, Biloxi and Bay St. Louis were destroyed by the hurricane, putting thousands out of work and crippling the state’s $2.7 billion gambling industry. The Grand is owned by Las Vegasbased Harrah’s Entertainment Inc., which had two of its four other Mississippi casinos damaged by the storm. Chairman Gary Loveman says Harrah’s will rebuild on the Gulf Coast, but the company wants the state law AP Disaster response team members photograph the demolition of the Grand Casino barge on the beach in Gulfport Wednesday. The casino barge was washed up onto U.S. 90 during Hurricane Katrina last month. The Mississippi Department of Transportation demolished the barge to clear the highway. that legalized floating casinos in 1990 changed to allow gambling halls on land — where they presumably would be safer from storms. That idea makes sense to Vicki Heidingsfelder, 48, a music teacher from nearby Long Beach who skirted police roadblocks to watch the demolition from a media observation point eight blocks from the Grand. “I think they’re going to have to — not just for the industry but for the people who depend on them,” she said. Heidingsfelder who lost her home in the storm, said she was a regular customer at the Grand — but not as a gambler. “They had crawfish boils every Thursday night,” she said. She also saw Willie Nelson, the Charlie Daniels Band and other entertainers at the casino. David Seyfarth, the transportation department’s resident engineer in Gulfport, said two hotels connected to the casino were booked solid on week- ends, like other casino hotels along the Coast. Seyfarth said the demolition was not an ending. “If anything, I would say it’s the start of something new. I would bet this will be rebuilt better than it was before,” he said. The section blocking the roadway was one of two barges that comprised a gambling, dining and entertainment complex. The other barge, which held most of the 2,200 slots and 72 gaming tables, remains afloat but damaged. One of the few structures still standing along the nearby shore is a tugboat that was blown ashore by Hurricane Camille in 1969 and converted into a souvenir shop called the SS Camille. Not far away is a hulking, 160-foot commercial barge that, like the Grand, was tossed ashore by Katrina. “Maybe that’ll be the SS Katrina,” Seyfarth said. WE’RE OPEN!

Rumors that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has called false. “We have not taken over the gas stations, nor do we want to,” said Michael Raphael, FEMA’s spokesperson in Jackson County. Raphael’s statement was backed up by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, who heads up the federal recovery in the region, during a Jackson news conference. “Let me be perfectly clear: Neither the Federal Emergency Management Agency nor the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency are rationing or otherwise disrupting the availability of gasoline to the citizens of Mississippi, nor do we have any intention to do so,” Allen said. Still, Coast residents weren’t so sure. Cars sat bumper-to-bumper in long lines at gas stations across Jackson County Wednesday afternoon, reminding citizens of the difficulties in obtaining gas following Hurricane Katrina. But the crisis eased, and in recent days, a wait of more than five minutes for a pump was rare. According to Jenny Bo-sarge, manager at Exxon Fast Trac in Pascagoula, people worried about radio reports that FEMA was about to take over the gas stations as part of a rationing process. Angela Lewis from Moss Point said she headed to the gas station as soon as her mother told her what she had heard. She said she wanted to make sure she had a full tank of gas, just in case. “I was told there was going to be a gas shortage,” Lewis said. Bosarge also heard customers were afraid there would be a gas shortage if Hurricane Rita hit Texas. Cars filled the Pascagoula station before noon Wednesday, producing large lines at stations along U.S. 90. At lunchtime in Harrison County, more than two dozen vehicles were lined up at a Chevron station on U.S. 49 in Gulfport, waiting for fuel. Nina Smith, 33, of Biloxi got a call from a friend who incorrectly told her the pumps would be shut off at noon. “I came just in case,” she said. “I had to wait in line three hours before, and I’ve got to get to work.” In Hattiesburg, 90 miles inland, radio talk shows were adding fuel to the rumors. “I just heard gasoline by the weekend may be $10 a gallon if this hurricane hits gas refineries in Texas,” said Jim Faulk, a contract roofer working for FEMA. Faulk was filling his tank and some portable gasoline containers at Dandy Dan’s BP, where a sign on the door read: “Rumors circulating today after gas station takeovers by FEMA are not true”. In the first two weeks after Hurricane Katrina leveled much of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, fuel supplies dwindled, tankers couldn’t get in, and people around the state waited in line for hours — from before dawn until after dark — for a fill-up. Then came Rita, which had strengthened to a Category 4 by midday Wednesday, threatening refineries off the Texas coast. At a routine briefing Wednesday morning, Harrison County Emergency Management Director Joe Spraggins advised reporters and the public it would be wise to top off fuel tanks. Though he didn’t want to create panic, Spraggins warned that “fuel may become a commodity again.” Even the possibility was enough for Ginger Byrd of Pass Christian, who dropped what she was doing at the office and rushed to the nearest Texaco station. “I might need gas for the generator,” she said.

ROOFING SPECIALIST • Free Estimates • No Job Too Big or Too Small • Start Within 10 Days • 23 Years Experience • Licensed & Insured 5912 Highway 63 • Moss Point • 475-1191 PASCAGOULA — The City Council adopted a $23.4 million budget for fiscal year 2006 on Tuesday as well as discussing the city’s current condition following Hurricane Katrina. There is $16.3 million in revenues budgeted along side an ending fund balance of $5.4 million and total expenditures of $18 million. Because of Katrina the budget — which goes into effect Oct. 1 — will have many amendments over the next fiscal year in nearly every department and for goods and services, but it had to be adopted to meet law requirements, city officials said. “I think it will be a revolving, moving target,” Councilman Mike Mangum said. The millage to operate general budget services will remain at 32.5 mills, and the Pascagoula School District will operate at 52.3 mills, the same amount it operated with for fiscal year 2005. City Attorney Melvin Mitchell said Federal Emergency Management Agency officials have reduced a “complicated process” of getting preapproval to remove debris from private property into a document of only a couple of pages. Areas from King Avenue south to the Mississippi Sound to the East Pascagoula River, where a majority of the city’s shattered buildings and homes are located following Katrina, will be eligible for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assistance. Mitchell said FEMA has narrowed the process to mainly getting property owners’ permission. “I can’t imagine many of them turning us down,” said Mitchell. Mangum said so much debris landed on peoples’ property that did not belong to them, and numerous residents because of age and health conditions, may not be able to handle the massive cleanup themselves. Mayor Matthew Avara said recent meetings with FEMA resulted in a “do what you’ve got to do” approach. The city also accepted a fire truck for $1 from Hasbrouck Heights, N.J., one of dozens of vehicles and pieces of equipment the city has had donated from numerous other municipalities across America. “I have not turned down anything, folks, that’s been offered to us,” Avara told the council. “I don’t know how these people from all over the country have gotten my number, but it’s poured in from all over and it’s been amazing the support we’ve had.” Reporter Brad Crocker can be reached at bcrocker@ mspress online.com or (866) 843-9020.

We’re all hurt. It didn’t draw a line.” Cole, 57, was named executive director of Rebuild Jackson County Wednesday. “You know good and well Joe Cole would have been involved,” she said. The former mayor died in July, following complications from a heart attack. Cole will oversee operations of Rebuild Jackson County, a private and collaborative effort comprised of private citizens, non-profit organizations, faith-based groups, local business and government leaders, which will assist members of the community to rebuild their lives. Funds will be funneled through the Bacot/McCarty Foundation, an established non-profit agency. Rebuild Jackson County was established days after the storm to provide relief specifically for Mississippians from Jackson County and surrounding areas impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Merchants & Marine Bank will serve as trustees of the fund and the allocation of the fund will be determined by the commission. Funding is coming from some generous locations. National Football League cornerback Terrell Buckley, Buffalo Bills quarterback Shane Matthews and 3 Doors Down have committed to help. And Douglas County, Colo., the fifth wealthiest county in the United States, has joined in the quest to raise money to rebuild a stronger Jackson County. That Colorado county, which formed “Douglas County Cares,” hopes to raise more than $1 million for relief efforts, and is organizing a Katrina relief event Sept. 23 at their county fair grounds.

Hurricanes haunt pumpkin patch ■ Hurricane Rita may prove to be jack ‘o latern’s bane By ALLISON MATHER The Mississippi Press With little more than a month to go, pumpkin carvers across the Coast may wonder if Hurricane Katrina spared this fall’s jack-o-lantern supply. Despite damage from excessive rains and raging winds, the outlook is good, said David Nagel, a horticulturist with the Mississippi State University Extension Services. “Most of them (state pumpkin farmers) will have pumpkins. They may not be as large or as pretty, but they will have pumpkins,” he said. Nagel said Mississippi does not produce enough pumpkins to meet its own demand. Thus, many buyers, like grocery stores or produce markets, import their gourds from agriculture behemoths like Illinois, California or Texas. “There’s probably more of a direct impact from loss of market than loss of crop,” he continued. “In addition to the direct loss they (the farmers) experienced, a lot of them have lost the people who buy the pumpkins.” That may soon be true in the Lone Star State as well. Currently, Hurricane Rita is forecasted to make landfall along the Texas coast, posing a potential change in the 2005 pumpkin market. According to the USDA’s 2002 Census of Agriculture, Texas is the country’s eighthlargest pumpkin producer. Last year the state harvested 3,333 acres of pumpkins. J.D. Ragland is the Floyd county agent for the Texas Cooperative Extension. Ragland said his county is the largest pumpkin producer in the state. “It varies from year to year, but this year is will be close to 1,500 acres,” he said. “They normally average about 20,000 pounds per acre.” Though Ragland does not anticipate a drop in production if Rita makes landfall in Texas, distribution and purchasers may change. “Everything evolves around supply and demand,” he said. “If supply is short in that part of the world (Mississippi), and they contact our producers, you may see some shipment to that part of the world.” File Photo/The Mississippi Press Reporter Allison Mather can be reached at Back-to back Gulf Coast hurricanes, Katrina and Rita, could have a negative effect amather@ms-pressonline.com or (251)219on this fall’s pumpkin harvest. 5551. Tax break for timber growers squeezes county homeowners By ROYCE ARMSTRONG The Mississippi Press LUCEDALE — Timber growers will have a smaller tax bill to pay in January. The assessed value of timber land has been reduced by $40 per acre, said Wilburn Bolen, the county tax assessor. That is good news for the county’s 800 active timber growers. It is bad news for almost everyone else, according to George County tax assessor Wilburn Bolen. Timber price is one of the factors contributing to land-use value and assessed values of timber land, Bolen said. “The impact on a rural county such as George County,” said District 5 Supervisor Henry Cochran, “is much different from the effect on a more urban county like Jackson. More than 60 percent of the land in George County is forest land. The bulk of the remaining real estate is farmlands or private homes. There is very little industry.” By reducing the assessed valuation of George County forest land, the tax base was reduced by nearly $4 million, Cochran said. That means about $500,000 less revenue flowing into the county budget, he said. This is occurring in a year when the Board of Supervisors had expected to be able to lower the millage or tax rate for homeowners. The two components determining the amount of real estate tax a homeowner or business pays are property value and the millage or tax rate. Last year the millage rate in George County was 120.79 mils, according to Bolen, or $120.79 for each $1,000 in valuation. This compares to about 80 mils in Jackson County, Cochran said. Every four years the Mississippi Tax Commission requires each county to readjust the assessed valuation of every property on the tax rolls. 2005 is one of these quadrennial years, and an independent appraisal firm was hired by the county to do this, Bolen said. “What normally happens,” Cochran said, “is that with higher property values we can reduce the millage rate. Slashing a half million dollars from the county’s $14 million budget is a big cut that has to be made up somewhere.” The board will announce the millage rate at a public hearing for next year’s proposed county budget on Friday. “The issue is complicated further because we (the board of supervisors) cannot control how about half of the county budget is spent. Those expenditures are mandated by the state legislature. For example, the state determines how much we must spend on the school district,” Cochran said. “We have no control over that.” “I am not saying anything against the timber growers,” Cochran was quick to point out. “I am glad they are getting a tax break, especially after the damage they have suffered with Hurricane Katrina.” According to Cochran, the county is required to provide some services and expected to provide others, regardless of cost. To pay the bill, the county supervisors adjust the millage rate high enough to cover the expense side of the budget. “Another reason for the higher millage rate in George County is an older population,” explained Bolen. Thirty-five per- cent of our residents do not have to pay property taxes. The other 65 percent pays all of the taxes,” Bolen said. “People over age 65, people who have total disability under Social Security guidelines or people with property values less than $7,500 are all exempt from paying taxes,” he said. “The people in this county is getting grayer, or older, each year.” The lower assessed value will fall short of helping the county’s active timber growers, according to County Extension Director Mike Steede. The forest land is about 66 percent of the county’s total land area. The Mississippi Department of Forestry estimates 80 percent of the county’s forests were damaged by the storm. In some cases the damage is so extensive that 15to 20-year-old stands will have to be clear cut and started over. Salvaging damaged trees is causing a glut on the timber market. “Timber prices have been flat for the past four or five years,” Steede said. “That is especially true for older trees that are used for saw lumber and poles. The prices paid for younger trees, used for pulp wood or chip wood has been depressed. Reporter Royce Armstrong may be reached by e-mail at rarmstrong@mspressonline.co m. or (601) 947-9933.

That’s Desiré De Montijo’s plans. “I’m definitely rebuilding. I’m not going anywhere. As soon as they get the road back,” De Montijo said. “Most everybody I know is coming back.” The restaurant De Montijo had sank thousands of dollars into to remodel is a matchstick shell. The new walk-in coolers are in the bay, though the bright, early September sun is baking a few thawed hams and a turkey in the sand. Not much of the 29-year-old restaurant remains. Looking for an antique gumbo pot they inherited from the original owners, Nievas finds a strainer and two pans. Katrina has sped up the remodeling for her employer, she said. “I guess this makes it easier for her,” Nievas said. At Miss. 603 and U.S. 90, Camp Katrina has been set up at the Big Kmart parking lot where tent covered aid disbursement centers and two dozen portable toilets serve the city’s 8,200 people. Flags hang from the four-pronged light poles. Plywood signs in business windows offer spray-painted promises: “We will re-open.” Blocks from the shoreline, damage from Katrina’s 145mph winds was evident everywhere. A stop sign sitting on a plush desk chair, propped there with chunks from a building’s brick wall, directs commuters through intersections that were packed with cars before the storm.

Homes along an unidentifiable street sit vacant; their owners’ lives strewn on the front lawns and in piles of rubble on the curb. What wasn’t blown away was covered in stinky, slimy, slippery mud. Congressman Gene Taylor’s home was one of the many destroyed in Katrina’s pathway. The street ends abruptly at the beach where traffic would have merged into Beach Boulevard for a tour of the quaint bed and breakfasts, summer homes, shops and restaurants. That boulevard looks like a strip of Lego blocks, tossed aside by a bored child. In the midst of all the destruction, a bit of history remains. A statue of Jean Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de Bienville still overlooks the Bay of St. Louis, which he named for Louis IX of France 306 years and four days earlier. Everything else in the statue’s surrounding courtyard looks like a giant hammer crushed it in one swipe, though the bronze figure seems almost untouched. The crumpled highway fronts building shells and vast nothingness. What has not already been sucked into the bay and the Gulf of Mexico, will soon be leveled by wrecking crews and busy bulldozers.

Mollere, 50, grew up at this site where a two-story house had been home for him, his chubby Chihuahua, Rocky, and his 80-yearold mother. Now Mollere sits under his tarp and watches Red Cross officials and media crews travel through his battered town. While he eats canned rigatoni, Rocky rarely leaves his feet. When he’s done with his lunch, Mollere searches through the stacks of surplus supplies and whips open a can of Vienna sausages for his best friend. He said he knew his mother was lying when she told him that everything was fine the night before the hurricane. She did not want to leave, but he sent her four miles east to his sister’s home in Bay St. Louis where four generations had gathered to weather the storm. By 7 a.m. the day of the storm, Mollere watched the water rising in his two-story home. The Gulf rose a foot every 10 minutes, he said. Trapped on the second floor, he grabbed Rocky and opened a living room window upstairs as the walls collapsed. Hanging onto the Chihuahua like a life vest, Mollere rode on the waves over treetops, until he found enough land to stand on. Dazed and confused, he made the trek to his sister’s house, looting a corner store for Christy Pritchett/The Mississippi Press Residents maintain a sense of humor as they deal with the destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in Bay St. Louis. Barq’s root beers and canned food, only to learn his mother drowned. Jane Mollere, 80, of Waveland, died Aug. 29. Brian Mollere is living like a squatter on his own land. “This is home. I have no other place to go,” he said. “I lost everything, including my mother, which was the most precious.” The Molleres did not have insurance on the home, which once boasted a jewelry shop and hardware store on the bottom floor. Insurance was too expensive and offered too little compensation, he said. “Maybe God and the government will help me,” he said. Mollere rides through the desolate streets on a donated bicycle, though there is really nowhere to go. He fashioned a scavenged basket to the handlebars for Rocky to ride and the two take off for short excursions. He doesn’t travel far though for fear that looters will ransack what is left of his home. Smoking a cigarette from a soft pack of Malboros, Mollere contemplates why he doesn’t leave this devastated city. Like the vine growing outside the tarp, his roots run deep, he said. “We’re bent, but we’re not pulled out,” he said. His buddy, Orville Ferrell, feels the same. Ferrell, 54, who has as many cold beers in his cooler as bottled water, said he grew up in this community and won’t ever leave. “This is our home. Our families lived here their whole lives and we’ll live here our whole lives. That’s the way it is,” he said.

Our Opinion Barbour on the money Gov. Haley Barbour has come under fire in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, but he’s taken a great leap forward in calling a special session on rebuilding the Coast. Too, he’s on the money on two other counts: First, the private sector must drive the recovery. Second, if the rebuilding effort only returns the Coast to as it was on Aug. 28 — before Katrina — we’ve failed. It would also be a disappointment if the focus of the special session becomes land-based casinos, not the reconstruction of the Coast. Like them or not, casinos have been a big cog in the economic engine of the Coast. But as every conservative politician since Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan has reminded us again and again, small business is the driving force behind economic recovery. Too, the public and private sector must work together to stem the tide of post-Katrina flight. Many who have lost their homes are rushing to higher ground. That has devastating potential implications for the Coast: Shrinking communities and neighborhoods, declining student enrollment, empty church pews. Lessening civic involvement and a depleted tax base. We must find a way to keep our good people here. The private sector in Jackson County has taken two major steps toward reconstruction, with the Rebuild Jackson County initiative and Chevron’s contribution Wednesday of $250,000 each to the Pascagoula School District, the United Way and Rebuild Jackson County. Barbour has at last found a special session issue that we can all agree. But it’s vital that lawmakers keep their eye on the issue — and the people — that are most important. It’s not the casino owners in Las Vegas or Atlantic City, but the good folks in Pascagoula, Gulf Park Estates, Moss Point, Escatawpa, Ocean Springs Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Biloxi, Gulfport and points across the Coast, who for many months, perhaps years, will be living in the ghostly shells of their former lives. Those good people are the ones Katrina bent, but did not break. The Mississippi Legislature could make up for all of its tomfoolery in the past by doing this one thing — the reconstruction of a better Gulf Coast — and doing it right. Praying for Galveston It appears that by early Saturday morning, Hurricane Rita will strike Galveston and Southeast Texas, perhaps even Mexico, with a Category 4 or Category 5 wallop. If so, sadly, they will walk in our shoes: Piles of rubble that were once warm, welcoming homes, lines for food, ice, water and gasoline, dependence on the kindness of strangers and the alphabet soup of agencies for roofs over our heads. No one should have to walk through the shadow of that valley. But in this summer of our heartbreak, this is life. We pray that Galveston will be spared our fate. But if Rita in its fury pounds the Texas Coast as it has ours, we pray that the world will be as generous to the coast of Texas as it has been to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. And if there is a balm in the midst of all this suffering, it is the seeming increase in kindness, one to another. Neighbors who share a common street, but who never met, now stop to chat. Folks who once only shook hands now embrace. And families seem closer, thankful for another day of life. While it is a shame that it took a catastrophe to bring forth what Abraham Lincoln called “the better angels of our nature,” still, we are grateful those angels are here. Meanwhile, as we rebuild our own homes, neighborhoods, communities and region, take a moment to pray for mercy for Galveston. Simon Wiesenthal, 1908-2005 While we on the Gulf Coast have felt the rock-hard brutality of nature, Simon Wiesenthal, who died Tuesday at 96 in Vienna, experienced the sting of humanity at its worst. But as a Holocaust survivor who lost 89 of his family members at the cold, heartless, hate-filled hand of Hitler, Wiesenthal transformed what for lesser individuals could have been an excuse to hate and spent his life tracking Nazi war criminals, speaking out against racism and the neo-Nazi movement and trying to build bridges of understanding. He was, as one put it, “the conscience of the Holocaust.” Perhaps there is a lesson for us in Wiesenthal’s welllived, honorable life: That in suffering, there can be hope, if we bother to seek it. In his passing, the world has lost a champion of goodness and of human rights for all people. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 OPINION The force of memory against the darkness A few days before Simon Wiesenthal died this week — 60 years after the end of Nazi Germany — the German soccer federation finally released a report admitting its enthusiastic collaboration with Hitlerism. Like so much of what happened at that time, the facts were shameful and sordid and — for an astonishing stretch of time — secret. For virtually all of those 60 years, Wiesenthal — who survived the Holocaust himself only by a series of impossible flukes, gun barrels turned from his head at the last possible moment — crusaded against the secrets, against the lies, and especially against the forgetting. From a small, cramped office in David Vienna, he demanded Sarasohn that the world face what had happened, and demonstrated the simple but unstoppable power of bearing witness. He insisted that no matter how politically inconvenient it might be, murderers — even continents and decades away — should not rest easy. Martin Mendelsohn, who helped set up the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations, told The Washington Post Wiesenthal “kept the memory of the Holocaust alive when everyone wanted it to go away. When Jewish groups wanted it to go away, he wanted to keep it alive. That is his signal accomplishment.” Wiesenthal’s commitments to two ideas — memory and justice — were gifts to a world that still needs them badly. He was an architect in Poland when the Nazis invaded. He spent the war as a captive, sometimes in death camps, occasionally escaping, always recaptured. He was liberated by the Americans from Mauthausen, and later counted 89 members of his family who had been murdered. Almost immediately, he began collecting documentation of what had happened, providing some evidence for the earliest war crimes trials in the American zone of Germany. Soon afterward, he set up his own offices, creating a network of survivors — and others willing to provide information — all over Europe, collecting evidence and following the trails of Nazis all over the world. Wiesenthal, an accidental survivor, was not a physically formidable figure, not as a cadaverous prisoner nor when he had become a legend. Late in his life, the French historian Marc Knobel called him “a little, frail, fragile man with poor health, who spoke German with a little voice and a powerful accent.” But he also had a powerful memory and lived 96 years. As The New York Times reported, Wiesenthal told an interviewer in Vienna in 1993, “To young people here, I am the last. I’m the one who can still speak. After me, it’s history.” Two years later, marking the 50th anniversary of the entry of allied forces into the city, he spoke from the balcony where Hitler spoke after seizing Austria. He was not only a determined but a contentious figure, often in disputes with others over the credit for finding a particular Nazi, or the degree of war guilt clinging to Austrian politicians with Wehrmacht war records. He battled over the focus of Holocaust memory. When the Simon Wiesenthal Center opened in Los Angeles, he insisted it be dedicated not only to 6 million murdered Jews, but to the millions of others — homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Gypsies. He told The Washington Post, “I’m not dividing the victims” — a principle that remains painfully relevant. For years, we’ve been sunk in an elaborate calculation about Darfur in the Sudan, estimating just when mass murder gets its head above the bar to qualify as genocide. Cambodia’s Pol Pot died safely in his bed. But Slobodan Milosevic does sit in a cell in The Hague, and slowly — intolerably slowly — the world is tweezing out the facts and the responsibilities in Rwanda. There is now a sense in the world that when the bodies pile up in the killing fields and the lies spill out of the government ministries, there will be somebody — maybe just a small, bald person with a strong accent — who will make it his business to remember. And that memory is the world’s ultimate superpower. David Sarasohn is an associate editor at The Oregonian of Portland, Ore. He can be contacted at davidsarasohn@news.oregonian.com.

CAMPOS The University of Colorado Katrina’s lesson already forgotten Soaring above the world on eagle’s wings, I’m seeing Jackson County from a different perspective. It looks like an ant hill, smashed by a mean-spirited youngun’s right foot. It is leveled in spots, untouched in others, but everywhere you look the ants are crawling. Lines and lines of them, moving this way and that, seeming to march in endless circles yet all with a purpose. Back down on the ground, the ants become cars, eating the pavement of the county’s highways and city streets as they travel around this Donna devastated Harris area. It looks like Christmas Eve out there, and everybody has an unfinished gift list. Before the storm of the century hit, I moved the things that meant the most to me to higher ground in Hurley. Granted, I live in Three Rivers, about 10 miles north of Interstate 10, but my little home is on wheels. I packed my grandmother’s red apple cookie jar, tenderly stroking the uneven surface where she glued the stem back on after a younger, ungraceful Donna knocked the lid to the floor. When she was alive, that cookie jar meant a lot to her, and though it stays empty of cookies, it is filled with all the love she left behind. I couldn’t let it ride out the storm without me. Loading the car with clothes that still fit, my treasured photographs, a husband, a daughter and a hyper miniature dachshund, I kissed my trailer goodbye. Now it’s three weeks later, and I’m back at home with electricity, but no phone or cable. Life could be a lot worse and I’m not about to complain. At least I have four walls, a roof and my own creaky bed in which to rest my weary body. I’m doing more than fine and I thank God every day for my good fortune. But back to the Christmas list. Certain store shelves have been devastated, decimated and trashed. What worries me is that that empty shelves are mostly in the electronics’ sections. Take a walk through a crowded discount store and look at what fills folks’ buggies. The DVD shelves are barren and bare. Compact discs are flying off the racks. TV sales are through the roof. It’s Christmas in September and everyone is buying for themselves. It’s like Santa is wearing a Red Cross smock. I’m not one to tell anyone how to spend their money because I’m just as guilty for buying a 3 Doors Down CD today. But it worries me that there is another storm out there and we haven’t learned the most important lesson that Katrina violently scribbled in the sands of south Mississippi. Stuff is just stuff. Talk to Brian Mollere of Waveland, who sleeps under a blue tarp and a black sky. His twostory home that was filled to the brim with a lifetime of stuff washed away with him in it. Everything he owned is gone, but missing stuff isn’t important. Mollere sent his 80-year-old mother to his sister’s home in Bay St. Louis, thinking the four generations of Molleres under one roof could keep Katrina away. Everyone but his mother, an elderly woman with an oxygen tank, survived the storm. Stuff isn’t important to Mollere. It shouldn’t be to us either. Stuff can be replaced. Families can’t.

An intermediate advisory released by the National Hurricane Center said the hurricane packed sustained winds of 165 mph, making Rita a Category 5 storm. If Rita continues on its current track, Jackson County Civil Defense director Butch Loper said during a Wednesday morning briefing, county residents could expect three to four inches of rain during a four-day period, with tides running about 2 to 3 feet above normal. “That’s not unusual for this time of year,” Loper said of tides. “The rainfall totals are about what we would usually get during a regular summer-type rainfall.” But with the memory of Katrina’s devastation still fresh, emergency officials held a 9:15 a.m. meeting Wednesday to discuss potential evacuation plans. “Right now, people are watching to see if and when Rita turns north,” Jackson “Some specialized people may be moved, but the people who are here working with the recovery effort in Mississippi will stay here.” — Gene Romano, FEMA spokesman County spokesman Kenny Flanagan said. “There have been discussions about securing equipment and a possible evacuation, but right now, nothing is moving unless the storm (suddenly) takes a turn to the north.” Some agencies, however, have already evacuated. Capt. David Costa, Destroyer Squadron Six commander, said Navy ships along the Coast, including the hospital ship USNS Comfort, that were providing aid to Mississippi and Louisiana, have put to sea to avoid Hurricane Rita. There was no information at press time on whether the cruise ship Carnival Holiday, which is a temporary home for county residents who were living in shelters, would leave the Port of Mobile. FEMA spokesman Gene Romano, said FEMA representatives working in Mississippi would not be moved to Texas to assist in the recovery of the Texas Coast. “Some specialized people may be moved, but the people who are here working with the recovery effort in Mississippi will stay here,” he said. “Many of our other teams (that might go to Galveston) like the search and rescue teams and our disaster medical assistance teams, have already left the area. We will remain here helping with the recovery of Mississippi.” Reporter John Surratt can be reached at news@mspressonline.com or (251) 219-5551. AP This satellite image taken by NASA's MODIS Rapid Response System at 11:10 p.m. Wednesday shows Hurricane Rita over the Gulf of Mexico. Rita From Page 1-A recently, Andrew, which smashed South Florida in 1992. The U.S. mainland has never been hit by both a Category 4 and a Category 5 in the same season. Katrina, at one point became a Category 5 storm, weakened slightly to a Category 4 hurricane just before coming ashore. Government officials eager to show they had learned their lessons from the sluggish response to Katrina sent in hundreds of buses to evacuate the poor, moved out hospital and nursing home patients, dispatched truckloads of water, ice and readymade meals, and put rescue and medical teams on standby. An Army general in Texas was told to be ready to assume control of a military task force in Rita’s wake. “We hope and pray that Hurricane Rita will not be a devastating storm, but we got to be ready for the worst,” President Bush said in Washington. Late Wednesday, Rita was centered about 570 miles eastsoutheast of Galveston and was moving west near 9 mph. Forecasters predicted it would come ashore along the central Texas coast between Galveston and Corpus Christi. Hurricane-force winds extended up to 70 miles from the center of the storm. But with its breathtaking size — tropical storm-force winds extending 370 miles across — practically the entire western end of the U.S. Gulf Coast was in peril, and even a slight rightward turn could prove devastating to the fractured levees protecting New Orleans. In the Galveston-HoustonCorpus Christi area, about 1.3 million people were under orders to get out, in addition to 20,000 or more along with the Lou- isiana coast. Special attention was given to hospitals and nursing homes, three weeks after scores of sick and elderly patients in the New Orleans area drowned in Katrina’s floodwaters or died in the stifling heat while waiting to be rescued. Military personnel in South Texas started moving north, too. Schools, businesses and universities were also shut down. Some sporting events were canceled. Galveston was a virtual ghost town by mid-afternoon Wednesday. In neighborhoods throughout the island city, the few people left were packing the last of their valuables and getting ready to head north. Helicopters, ambulances and buses were used to evacuate 200 patients from Galveston’s only hospital. And at the Edgewater Retirement Community, a sixstory building near the city’s seawall, 200 elderly residents were not given a choice. “They either go with a family member or they go with us, but this building is not safe sitting on the seawall with a major hurricane coming,” said David Hastings, executive director. “I have had several say, ‘I don’t want to go,’ and I said, ‘I’m sorry, you’re going.”’ Galveston, a city of 58,000 on a coastal island 8 feet above sea level, was the site of one of the deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history: an unnamed hurricane in 1900 that killed between 6,000 and 12,000 people and practically wiped the city off the map. The last major hurricane to strike the Houston area was Category-3 Alicia in 1983. It flooded downtown Houston, spawned 22 tornadoes and left 21 people dead. Carisa Anderson/The Mississippi Press Beach Elementary in Pascagoula is one of many schools in Jackson County damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Chevron is donating $250,000 to the Pascagoula School District, along with $250,000 to Rebuild Jackson County and $250,000 to the United Way. Chevron From Page 1-A General manager Roland Kell said the contribution comes with strings. Chevron wants the money given to each entity to be used for specific tasks, and to “bring normality in any shape and form in these trying times,” Kell said. Rebuild Jackson County is to use the $250,000 to help replace equipment and materials in established, licensed childcare facilities that were damaged in the Category 4 storm, said Steve Renfroe, manager of public and government affairs at Chevron. According to an assessment Chevron conducted with the assistance of the Mississippi State University Early Childhood Institute, 25 percent of the licensed childcare facilities in Jackson County are severely damaged. In Pascagoula, that number rises to 75 percent. The Pascagoula School District will use its funds to provide additional counseling services for students and teachers. Eleven schools in that district were flooded during the storm. United Way of Jackson and George Counties will use their contribution for special disaster-related grants for its agencies as well as other nonprofit organizations in the area. Accepting checks for the three agencies were Royce Cumbest, president of Merchants & Marine Bank and co-chairman of Rebuild Jackson County; Wayne Rodolfich, superintendent of Pascagoula School District; and Chris An-derson, chief operating officer of Singing River Hospital System, for United Way. Cumbest said there is a critical need in the county to find housing, but also to rebuild childcare facilities that will allow the workforce to be re-established. “By doing what you’ve done, it’s giving our people hope,” he said. Rodolfich said counselors will help students develop coping mechanisms. He said the money would be used to “try to do a little bit of healing.” The funding was appreciated by the heads of the three organizations. “This is really an exciting start,” Anderson said.

Apartments From Page 1-A daughters, Raven and Skye Jordan, had moved into their townhouse apartment at Meadowwood on Orchard Road two weeks before Katrina punched the city on Aug. 29. There, the family rode out the storm. “Oh, man, it was rough,” Cornell Stanton, 25, said. “There was water up to my mama’s neck and my knees,” said 6-year-old Raven who, along with her 9-year-old sister, packed everything they could into their car Wednesday before heading to Cornell Stanton’s cousin’s in Tampa. He said “when everything’s back in order,” they may return. “It’s not fun packing up everything you have but we almost lost everything anyway,” Michelle Stanton, 23, said. Four feet of water flooded their home, located several miles north of Pascagoula Beach. “I didn’t think anything like that (the storm surge) could happen,” her husband said. “We had a nice little apartment. Now look at it,” he added, as he pointed to ripped out sheet rock and carpet. Although many of their possessions were saved, the family has no place to store it while they wait for more housing. “FEMA don’t understand there’s no place to take this stuff,” Michelle Stanton said as Raven made a difficult choice between dresses and teddy bears. “It’ll probably dawn on the kids down the road, but I know what we’re about to face.” Florine Kuewa, 37, and her children, Titi, 15, and Cortez, 14, were possibly leaving Pascagoula to permanently live with family in North Carolina. “We have nowhere to go,” said Kuewa, a nurse technician at Ocean Springs Hospital who has juggled a demanding work and family schedule since Katrina. “When do we have time to find something? Carisa Anderson/The Mississippi Press John Gary of Pascagoula carries furniture out to a moving truck as he helps his friend, Barbara Bogan, and her two children move from their Tall Pines apartment. Residents learned Wednesday the Pascagoula apartment complex is condemned and they would have to move. Now, we have to evacuate again,” she said. “I don’t like it,” said Titi, who has missed her friends and being in school. Michelle Stanton and Kuewa both said having their children in school would help all youngsters, because of the storm’s overall impact on them. “We’ll make it. We’ll get through it,” Kuewa said. A few miles south, on Scovel Road, Barbara Bogan, 33, was packing up what she could from her Tall Pines townhouse apartment. She will live with a friend in Moss Point. “You can’t live her like this,” said Bogan, whose children, 16 and 13, left after Katrina to stay with family in Arkansas. Asked if she planned to return to Pascagoula, Bogan replied, “if we can find a place to live. There’s no place to live right now. We’ll be OK, though. With the help of the Lord, we’ll be all right.” Gary Ashcraft co-manages both Meadowwood and Tall Pines. Both complexes sustained significant wind and water damage. Tall Pines was a total loss and may not be rebuilt, he said. “(Meadowwood) was a total shock,” Ashcraft said of the unprecedented flooding so far north of the beach. The condemnation affects around 95 families in the two complexes and “it breaks my heart,” he said. Ashcraft’s frustration lies with the FEMA red tape he is facing to get answers and assistance for his tenants, including why he cannot place the temporary housing trailers on the complex property. “Right now, they’re not doing anything for small businesses and the people that’s hurting,” he said. “I don’t know why they won’t come talk to people like me. I have some ideas. It’s like a yo-yo. It just doesn’t make sense, all this bureaucratic crap.” Apartment owners are trying to get their complexes up and running as fast as they can, Mitchell said. However, many are waiting on their insurance companies to complete their work. Neighborhood damage assessments — conducted by outside teams, inspectors and permit technicians — continue. Mitchell said his main problem is finding the right people to contact concerning federal and state policies and procedures and determining exactly what work is allowed. “This is a big issue. We have a housing problem and we’re working hard so people can have a place to live,” he said. Reporter Brad Crocker can be reached at bcrocker@mspressonline.com or (866) 8439020. S PORTS THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Contact: JR. Wittner, (251) 219-5553 E-mail address: sports@mspressonline.com B Thursday, September 22, 2005 LSU finally gets to Tiger Stadium ATLANTA (AP) — Three weeks later than scheduled, third-ranked LSU finally gets to play its home opener. Instead of North Texas State showing up in Tiger Stadium, it’ll be the 10thranked Tennessee Vols, a team that has dominated the series, but lost two of its last three games against the Tigers. LSU, ranked No. 3 natioinally, and the Vols were considered to be the favorites of the Southeastern Conference’s two divisions, meaning this could have been the first of two meetings between the two teams. Tennessee still might make it to the SEC championship game in Atlanta, but it will need help after dropping a 16-7 decision at Florida last week. The Gators would win any tie-breaker with the Vols, meaning the Gators would have to lose two conference games for Tennessee to have any chance of getting to the title game. Hurricane Katrina’s devastating blow to New Orleans caused LSU’s schedule to go haywire. The North Texas game Sept. 3 was postponed to later in the year. Ari- zona State was scheduled to visit Baton Rouge a week later, but that game was moved to the Sun Devils home in Tempe mainly because LSU was housing so many refugees from the hurricane. The Tigers were off last week, so they are chomping at the bit to play before the home folks. LSU is a 6 1/2-point favorite to beat a team that has a 19-5-3 advantage in the series. LSU went to overtime to beat the Vols in Baton Rouge in 2000 and Tennnessee won the next year in Knoxville 26-18 — the first of two meetings that season. LSU then beat Tennessee 30-21 in the SEC championship game. With no hotel rooms available in Baton Rouge, Tennessee will have to fly in and out of Baton Rouge before and after the game. Coach Phillip Fulmer doesn’t see that being a big deal, but it’s not routine. Playing in Tiger Stadium isn’t routine for visiting teams, either. Tennessee’s hopes of a division title vanish with its second SEC loss. LSU 21-14. Elsewhere around the SEC this week- end: Arkansas (plus 15) at No. 20 Alabama: The Crimson Tide impressed the pollsters with their rout of South Carolina last week.

Southern-Houston game postponed because of Rita All eyes on Wie, again, as she eyes pro ranks HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — The Southern Mississippi-Houston football game scheduled for Saturday in Houston has been postponed in anticipation of Hurricane Rita, officials said Wednesday. “The safety and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches and fans, as well as the visiting teams, will always be our top priority when dealing with situations such as this,” Conference USA commissioner Britton Banowsky said in a statement. “We are getting a lot of practice addressing hurricane-related contingencies. Fortunately, we have had excellent communication and we are getting great cooperation from our members.” Conference USA officials said the game would be rescheduled for either Nov. 12 or 13. The Golden Eagles play at Marshall on Tuesday, Nov. 8. To make room, the SMU-Houston game originally scheduled for Nov. 12 was postponed to Nov. 19, when both teams have an open date. Rita also led officials to postpone this week’s Navy-Rice game. That game was rescheduled for Oct. 22 in Houston. It’s the third hurricane-related postponement for Southern Miss in just more than a year. The Golden Eagles’ opener against Tulane was pushed back from Sept. 4 until Nov. 26 because of Hurricane Katrina. A September 2004 game against California was postponed three months because of Hurricane Ivan. By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press Everywhere she goes, people can’t help but notice Michelle Wie. As a 13-year-old still wearing a retainer, she was warming up on the practice range for a junior pro-am at the Sony Open in Honolulu. When she pulled out her driver, five PGA Tour players on both sides of her stopped to watch her launch tee shots that approached the 300-yard marker. Last year in Portugal, where Wie received the Laureus World Newcomer of the Year award, she walked into the banquet room filled with celebrities that included as Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Placido Domingo. “Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and watched her go to her table,” said Greg Nared, a Nike business manager who has been tracking Wie the last two years. “That told me a lot.” The 15-year-old from Hawaii who commands so much attention is on the verge of commanding top money.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College opens its 2005 season, after a three week delay, against highly ranked Jones Junior College tonight. The Bulldogs have endured some hardships over the past few weeks due to Hurricane Katrina, but football coach Steve Campbell feels his team is ready for the challenge of a new season. “We are excited about the opportunity to play,” said Campbell. “We’ve worked hard during the past three weeks and we expect a good game from Jones Junior College.” Campbell says he is unsure if the layoff will affect his team tonight, but isn’t ready to hand out any excuses. “We will find out if the layoff has hurt us, and hopefully it hasn’t,” said Campbell. “We’ve had time to prepare and get ready, so there won’t be any excuses. “Each kid on this team has gone through a different situation, but they’re battling through that, and I think they’re ready for the season.” Campbell expects good things from his team this year, especially his sophomore class. Heading that class will be Eric Walden, See MGCCC, Page 3-B Colts offense looking to even score after two tough weeks INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Peyton Manning has two touchdown passes in two weeks. Marvin Harrison has barely reached 100 yards total. Edgerrin James still hasn’t scored, and the Colts’ dangerous receiving corps has combined for only one TD reception.

In Indianapolis, it’s causing consternation. “Hopefully we can put some drives together, put some points on the board and get it going,” wide receiver Brandon Stokley said Wednesday. The Colts are not accustomed to answering questions about what’s wrong with the offense, but then this has been no typical start. Indianapolis, long labeled a finesse team, has used a strong defense and a power running game to grind out victories over Baltimore and Jacksonville. While the results have been effective, they’ve gotten poor marks for artistry. Many now wonder what has happened to one of the league’s most proficient offenses, which also struggled throughout the preseason. Indianapolis is averaging 17 points its first two games, less when Cato June’s interception return for a touchdown is removed from the equation. And nobody seems immune from the struggles. Manning, who set NFL records for TD passes (49) and passer rating (121.1) on his way to a second straight MVP last season, has been anything but perfect. In Sunday’s 10-3 victory over Jacksonville, Manning was 13-of-28 for 122 yards with one interception. The yardage total was the secondlowest of his career and his rating of 44.0 was his worst effort in four years. His overall rating of 74.7 this year is even lower than that of his brother, Eli, who is at 76.3. Manning and Harrison couldn’t produce the 60 yards needed to set a new NFL record for passing yardage by a quarterback-receiver tandem and enter this week’s game against Cleveland still 24 yards short. Is something wrong? “It happens during the course of the season, sometimes in back-to-back games,” coach Tony Dungy said. “But we’re not concerned. I don’t think people have caught up to our offense.” Manning chalks up most of the early trouble to the Colts opponents.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State sprung a huge upset last year on a vulnerable SEC East team making a rare visit to Scott Field. The Bulldogs believe they can do it again this week against No. 7 Georgia — all because of the Florida Effect. “That game last year just let us know we can play with any team in the country,” tailback Jerious Norwood said. Last year’s Bulldogs were anything but worldbeaters. But on one afternoon in October, they turned college football upside down with a 3831 victory over then-No. 20 Florida in what became Ron Zook’s final game as the Gators’ coach. It was Sylvester Croom’s first big win at Mississippi State, and it came against a team far more talented than — but perhaps not quite as hungry as — those ragtag Bulldogs. “We were just ... tired of losing,” receiver Will Prosser said. “We were just like, ’Why don’t we do something about it today?’ And fortunately, we did.” Now, Georgia (3-0, 1-0) visits Starkville for the first time since 1996 in its first road game of the season. Croom is counting on those intangibles coming together again and says playing Auburn and other powerhouses in the SEC West every year makes his team battle-tested and ready for those interdivisional opponents they don’t see regularly. The Florida victory didn’t make much of a difference in the win column — Mississippi State still finished with its fourth consecutive losing season — but it worked wonders for the Bulldogs’ self-esteem, even 11 months later. “The team has more confidence this year than we did last year, so that’s going to help out a lot,” Norwood said. Williams upset in China Upen BEIJING — Serena Williams was upset in the second round of the China Open on Wednesday, losing to unheralded Sun Tiantian 6-2, 7-6 (7). Sun, ranked 127th in the world and fourth among Chinese players, took advantage of numerous errors by Williams, who said she was bothered by an ailing left knee. “I just played terrible,” Williams said. “Sun played very well and was ready for the match. I’m disappointed I couldn’t perform better today.” Williams, No. 9 in the world rankings, won last year’s event and is very popular in China. However, the crowd cheered as Sun pulled off a surprise victory — the first of her career against a player ranked in the top 40. “Before the match I was just saying don’t be nervous,” said Sun, who made the quarterfinals in a tournament for the second time in her career. “I had an opportunity today and I grabbed it. I just hope I can keep improving. My goal for this year is to crack the top 100.” Sun broke Williams’ serve and moved to a 20 lead before wrapping up the first set. “I’m definitely disappointed,” Williams said. “But there was nothing I could do out there today.” It was an error-filled match, with Williams spraying balls long, hitting drop shots short and double-faulting to fall to 4-5 in the second set. She managed to break Sun’s service in the next game, but lost in the tiebreak. Top seeds Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova had first-round byes and open play today. Formula One returning to Indianapolis next year INDIANAPOLIS — Formula One will return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next year despite the fiasco surrounding June’s boycotted race. Speedway officials announced Wednesday that the U.S. Grand Prix will be on July 2, making it the seventh year the race has been run at the track. The race’s future had been in question after only six drivers competed in the June 19 race as seven F1 teams pulled their cars off the track to protest safety concerns with Michelin tires. Those teams wanted to use fresh tires or have an extra chicane put in the track’s 13th turn, but F1 officials opted to make no changes. “Preparations for all three of our events begin more than a year in advance,” speedway president Joie Chitwood said. “Despite the events that took place during this year’s USGP and the cloud that lingered over the race, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway staff never stopped working on 2006 and promoting Formula One racing in the U.S. Taylor Bennett: Unlikely quarterback for a big-time game ATLANTA (AP) — Taylor Bennett spent most of his high school career on the bench. Once he got to Georgia Tech, his chance to play came a lot quicker. The redshirt freshman filled in last week for the 15thranked Yellow Jackets, getting his first start at quarterback after Reggie Ball became ill with viral meningitis. Bennett didn’t make any major gaffes in a 28-13 victory over Connecticut. With Ball still recovering, Bennett may have to go again Saturday — and this time the stakes would be infinitely higher. The Yellow Jackets go on the road to meet fourthranked Virginia Tech, one of their biggest games in years. The winner gets an early jump on a spot in the first Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Not that one could tell from Bennett’s laid-back approach. “It’s just another game, really,” he said with a shrug. “In college football, every game is a playoff game. There’s no playoffs at the end, so every game matters.” Ball, who was hospitalized for two days, returned to practice on Tuesday but didn’t do any strenuous work. Coach Chan Gailey said the junior’s chances of playing were only 50-50, and there’s a good chance he won’t be strong enough to make it through a whole game even if he does play. Which brings us back to Bennett, an unlikely player for such a big stage. Going into his senior year at Lafayette High School in St. Louis, Bennett wasn’t even on the radar screen for college recruiters. Why would have been? No one had really seen him play, since he spent three years as a backup. Bennett made the best of the situation and never considered trying to move to another high school. “I just wanted to stick it out,” he said. “It’s good to sit back behind somebody. It’s a learning experience, and it’s kind of what I’m doing here with Reggie.” The summer before he became a starter, Bennett had spurred some interest by attending a couple of football camps, but no one started recruiting him heavily until he had played a few games. Georgia Tech took note of the left-hander about halfway through his final season at Lafayette. “It’s unusual for a guy not to play except for his senior year,” Gailey said. “No one really knew about him. I think we maybe found out sometime in October or November that year. It came right down to the end. We had to evaluate him based on six or seven games his senior year.” Bennett didn’t have a huge season, throwing for just over 1,000 yards, but it was enough to get offers from Georgia Tech, Boise State and Baylor. He strongly considered Boise State, where his best friend decided to go, but wound up picking the Yellow Jackets. MOBILE GREYHOUND PARK MATINEE POST TIME 1:00 MON., WED. & SAT. EVENING POST TIME 7:30 MON. – SAT. 1-800-272-5000 Min. age 18 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 3-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Spurrier’s off to bumpy start AP South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier tugs on his visor during the first half against Georgia Sept. 10, in Athens, Ga. For 12 seasons at Florida, about all Spurrier had to do was dig out a visor and watch his Gators mash their next opponent. COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Nobody thought South Carolina’s new coach would have it easy. But even Steve Spurrier expected a smoother return to college football than this. For 12 seasons at Florida, Spurrier’s Gators mashed opponents with few bumps along the way. Three games into his new job at South Carolina (1-2, 0-2 Southeastern Conference), Spurrier’s ripping apart his offense and defense, apologizing to fans and searching for players who “love” the game. He hasn’t lost his first two SEC games since 1992 and may have set a record for earliest apology by a first-year coach with his “I’m sorry” to supporters after the Gamecocks fell to Alabama, 37-14, this past Saturday. “We’re not where we hoped we’d be, but we’ve still got a lot of season left,” Spurrier said. “We’re not discouraged. We’re disappointed that we haven’t improved as we’ve gone thus far.” So now Spurrier turns to some of his newest players to jump-start the Gamecocks. It’s not something he did often with the Gators. But the way the Gamecocks have looked so far, Spurrier feels he’s got no choice. “So I think it’s now that we need to give some other players a chance and also, we’ve got to tell our players who have been playing that we’ve got to play with a better effort level,” he said. It’s not the first time a national championship coach has been humbled on the South Carolina sidelines. Six years ago, Lou Holtz endured the worst season of his Hall of Fame career, going 0-11 in his Gamecocks debut. Holtz quipped the following summer that when he wrote his autobiography, the chapter of his 1999 Gamecocks would be “The Lost Year.” Spurrier’s not conceding anything’s lost yet. But several things have him shaking his head. A defense counted on to keep South Carolina in games has looked shoddy. It’s 11th in the SEC against the run and gave up 338 yards on the ground Alabama, prompting a few frustrating sideline scowls from Spurrier. The offense is dead last in the SEC at 48.7 rushing yards a game and is a very un-Spurrier-like 11th overall. They were outgained by Alabama 489256, prompting Spurrier’s words to Gamecocks backers. “I do apologize to our fans. I thought we’d be more competitive than we were today,” Spurrier said Saturday said after the biggest home loss in his 15-plus years of college coaching. Worse yet for Spurrier, he said some of the Gamecocks aren’t showing any passion. “I don’t understand it,” Spurrier said. “I’ve seen it on the other side, and I’ve seen it on my team now. And I don’t like it very well and don’t have the answer to that.” It was hard for players to argue with the coaches’ assessment. “I mean, you can look at the game tell Wie Manning expecting chilly mood in spurned San Diego EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Eli Manning remembers facing hostile crowds in college, although he concedes those experiences could seem tame compared to the reception that likely awaits him in San Diego Sunday night. Manning spurned the Chargers when they made him the first pick of the 2004 NFL Draft, saying at the time he did not want to play in San Diego. He was traded on draft day to the New York Giants, and as he struggled through a 6-10 rookie season last fall, the Chargers, under Drew Brees, finished 12-4 and made the playoffs for the first time since 1995. The former Mississippi star said he doesn’t expect San Diego to have much sympathy for him. “Whatever I say, I don’t think it’s going to make a big difference to the fans,” he said. “I knew that when I made the decision. I knew the people of San Diego wouldn’t like it or people might harass me for it. “I have nothing against San Diego or the people or the players on the team or anything From Page 1-B AP The New Orleans Saints' Will Smith, left, tackles New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning during the first quarter at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. , Monlike that. I just didn’t feel like it was a place where I wanted to go play for six years or however long my contract was going to be. “I’ve played in loud stadiums before, but I don’t know if I’ve played in a place where the team had a reason to dislike me.” To get Manning, the Giants gave up the rights to quarterback Philip Rivers, the No. 4 pick overall, plus three draft picks that included a firstrounder this year. In a head-to-head comparison with Rivers, Manning holds a substantial edge: he has demonstrated steady improvement after a rocky first few games as a starter midway through last season, while Rivers has appeared in just two games, completing 5-of-8 passes for 33 yards. That’s due to the re-emergence of Brees, a second-round pick out of Purdue in 2001 who had middling success with the Chargers in 2002 and 2003 before throwing for 3,159 yards with 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 2004. The type of challenge posed by a stadium full of hostile fans may do little to shake the normally unflappable Manning. “I think that being in New York and having that rookie year, he’s been through a lot in a short time, and he’s learned ways to handle it,” Brees said. Wide receiver Plaxico Burress, Manning’s favorite target this season with 10 receptions, concurred. “I’d think he could handle it pretty well,” he said. “One of the things about him, you can’t really tell if he’s bothered. He doesn’t really say a lot, doesn’t get too high or too low. He always seems the same way to me whether we’re doing good or we’re not doing so good.” Hornets to play 35 games in Oklahoma City OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Chased from their home by Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Hornets have found a temporary refuge and a fresh start. The Hornets announced plans Wednesday to play 35 home games in Oklahoma City and six others in Baton Rouge, La., after a relocation agreement was approved by the city council. The New Orleans Arena sustained extensive water damage from the hurri- cane and will take months to repair. But even if New Orleans is ready to welcome the team back before the 2005-06 season ends, the Hornets are locked into their 35 dates at the 19,675-seat Ford Center. The team will alter its home jerseys so they read “Hornets” on the front. The road jerseys will feature the words “New Orleans,” but a patch on the shoulder will recognize Oklahoma City. In standings and statistics, the NBA plans to call the team the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. Playoff games also would be played in Oklahoma City, and the Hornets will have the option to stay for an extra year. “This whole thing is somewhat bittersweet,” owner George Shinn said. “I’ve got a fine line to walk. I want to be enthusiastic to the people here and let them know I’m proud and that we’re going to make this thing work.” LSU From Page 1-B the football coach at Kentucky. He’s the university president. It just adds a little more pressure for coach Rich Brooks, who has his injury-riddled squad facing the nation’s No. 5 team on Saturday. Florida 3510. No. 7 Georgia (minus 15) at Mississippi State: Sylvester Croom’s homestanding Bulldogs begin a stretch of difficult that we probably weren’t as intense as we needed to be,” kicker Josh Brown said. “Looking back, we could’ve done a lot of things different.” Spurrier never promised an SEC title right away. It was generally thought, however, that South Carolina’s talent had improved under Holtz’s six seasons to where, with a key recruit or two and some touches from the Ol’ Ball Coach, Spurrier could at last get the Gamecocks competing for SEC East championships. That goal seems further away for Spurrier, who’s got a seven-year contract with South Carolina. Spurrier plans to show his players tapes of the Georgia and Alabama games, trying to show the Gamecocks how winning teams do things. There’s reason for hope. After Holtz’s sorry season, the Gamecocks went 17-7 and won back-to-back Outback Bowls — still the high-water mark in 112 years of South Carolina football. “Hopefully, we can get some things going to help emphasize the point that here’s how we expect you to play and if you don’t, the other guys are going to play, even if they’re not as talented,” Spurrier said. “That’s OK. Our fans want to see effort and they want to see guys play the game the way it’s supposed to be played. “So that’s where we are.” Clearly, it’s not where Spurrier figured South Carolina would be. assignments few teams ever face — playing three teams in succession currently ranked among the nation’s Top Ten powers. It starts with No. 7 Georgia and continues with No. 3 LSU and at No. 5 Florida. State has won two of its first three, but its third victory could be a long time coming. Georgia 28-14.

That could be done before the Samsung World Championship, which starts Oct. 13, two days after her 16th birthday. It will be the eighth and final LPGA Tour event Wie plays this year. “There is nothing to say until everything is completed,” her father, B.J. Wie, said Wednesday. He added that “we are getting close,” but said her decision to turn pro would not be related to Samsung. “It doesn’t have to be associated with a tournament she would play,” the father said. “There is no target date we have to meet.” When it happens, she will be the highest-paid female golfer in the world. One deal that is nearing c o mp l e ti o n i s w i th N i ke , which is no surprise. Wie has been playing its irons and golf ball the last two years, and often wears the swoosh on her clothing. A source with knowledge of the negotiations said the deal could be worth anywhere from $4 million to $5 million a year. She also is working on a deal with an Asian-based electronics company that could be worth about $3 million a year. Golf World magazine reported another possible endorsement with an airline company. Annika Sorenstam, the best player in women’s golf, makes about $7 million a year in e n d o r se me n ts. N o o th e r female golfer is remotely close. “Did I hear she might make $10 million a year?” David Toms said Wednesday. “I’d like to get half that much. And I’ve won a tournament.” Early projections were that Wie could command up to $20 million a year in endorsements, and her potential earnings could surpass that. But the family is starting slowly and conservatively, in part because Wie still has two years left before she graduates Punahou School in Honolulu. MGCCC From Page 1-B who returns to take on the signal-calling duties for Campbell. Walden will have plenty of help on offense as he’ll be joined by All-State running back Dantrell Savage and wide receiver and Gulfport native Tony Banks. The offensive line will be anchored by two former Jackson County stars. Ocean Springs Jacob Dykes and Vancleave’s Chris Goff will both try to make some holes in the Jones Junior College defense. Two former Jackson county standouts will lead the Bulldogs’ defense. Pascagoula Mike Fox and Long Beach’s Tim Lewis will anchor the group, while Campbell expects good things from Harrison Central’s Micah Best and Lucedale’s Jason Farley. However, Campbell is uncertain of what to expect from Jones Junior College, who also will be opening its season tonight. Campbell does expect a hard-fought contest. “We don’t know what to expect from them because tomorrow night will be our first look,” said Campbell. “They traditionally have a strong running game and use the play-action on offense. “They are always very athletic on defense, so we expect a good game. They come in ranked in the top-20, so we are going to have our hands full.” Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Perkinston.
