More than 500 people waited outside one store for cleanup supplies. But barely 24 hours after the Category 3 storm struck, there were signs of recovery. “We have power! We have power!” several residents of Miami Lakes chanted as they ran out their back doors when the lights came on. The quantity of debris was daunting: Pieces of roofs, trees, signs, awnings, fences, billboards and pool screens were scattered across By ALLEN BREED The Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Repair crews across Florida struggled Tuesday to restore electricity to up to 6 million people, reopen the region’s airports and replace countless windows blown out of downtown high-rises during Hurricane Wilma’s ruinous dash across the state. Officials said it could take weeks for Florida’s most heavily populated region — the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach area — to return to normal. Water and gas became precious commodities, and people waited for hours for free water, ice and food. Lines stretched for blocks at the few gas stations with the electricity several counties. Damage estimates ranged up to $10 billion. “Tomorrow’s going to be better than today,” Gov. Jeb Bush said. Some of the worst damage was in downtown Fort Lauderdale, where Wilma was the strongest hurricane to strike since 1950. Winds of more than 100 mph blew out windows in high-rises, many built before Florida enacted tougher construction codes following Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The school district’s 14-story headquarters — known as the “Crystal Palace” — was stripped of nearly its entire glass facade on Neighbors at Spring Creek Village in Bonita Springs, one side.

AP Cisco donates Dutch Bayou residents want soil tested $40 million Neighbors fear to schools contamination Half to go to Mississippi schools impacted by Katrina ■ in neighborhood By NATALIE CHAMBERS By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS The Mississippi Press The Associated Press JACKSON, Miss. — John Chambers, president and CEO of Cisco Systems Inc., said a Mississippi woman whose family lost everything in Hurricane Katrina inspired his company’s $40 million donation to schools affected by the monster storm. The first $20 million will go to south Mississippi schools to provide wireless Internet service and other technology services. The other $20 million will go to schools in other states affected by the Aug. 29 hurricane. Chambers announced the donations Tuesday during the annual fall meeting of the Mississippi Economic Council, the state chamber of commerce. He said shortly after Katrina, he was preparing to speak to 5,000 Cisco sales people in San Francisco when he heard a convention center employee speak in a Southern accent. Chambers said he asked where she was from, and she said Mississippi. He said he immediately asked about her family. See DONATION, Page 11-A William Colgin/The Mississippi Press Rev. Richard Young with Greater First Baptist Church in Escatawpa talks about the extensive damage to his church and the surrounding neighborhoods. Young is disappointed at the limited financial aid and insurance reimbursement for those who suffered losses during Hurricane Katrina. MOSS POINT — Nestled between Miss. 63 and Miss. 613 among some of Moss Point’s most stately oaks, sits a small neighborhood with some big concerns. Some residents along Dutch Bayou Road worry that Hurricane Katrina might have blown dangerous contaminants their way. The Rev. Richard Young, pastor of the Greater First Baptist Church, said the Category 4 storm forced total demolition of the 16year-old red brick church that three months ago was in celebration. The church, valued at $450,000, completed sizable additions on both its east and west sides. Young said the church’s plan was to bring a cafeteria, computer and youth center to a quiet, reclusive neighborhood almost void of social or recreational activity. Hurricane Katrina has changed that, for now. Immediately after the storm, the church’s interior was gutted to remove spreading black mold. Now it appears the church will have to come down, Young said. See DUTCH BAYOU, Page 12-A State jobless rate rises in September State budget hearings JACKSON (AP) — Mississippi’s unemployment rate rose to 9.6 percent in September, fueled by a loss of jobs form Hurricane Katrina, state officials said. The state’s jobless rate in August was 6.9 percent. There were 59,700 jobs lost in Mississippi because of Hurricane Katrina, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Numbers tallied through Friday show 34,489 Mississippians were collecting unemployment insurance benefits. Another 41,955 people were receiving Disaster Unemployment Assistance, and 34,620 claims were pending, said Diane Bell, spokeswoman for the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. A total of 111,064 have applied for benefits, Bell said. The Mississippi adjusted unemployment rate is 9.1 percent, Bell said. The adjusted rate in August was 7 percent. An adjusted rate is one that removes factors such as seasonal employment and other outdated information to more accurately reflect the number of claims filed. The Labor Department reported Mississippi’s increased filings were second to Louisiana. In September, Louisiana’s jobless rate grew to 11.5 percent from 5.8 percent in August because of the loss of 251,000 jobs. It was the largest monthly increase recorded since the Labor Department started compiling monthly employment reports in 1976. Guard association seeks aid for military families By HOLBROOK MOHR The Associated Press JACKSON — A private National Guard association is asking for help in raising money for hundreds of military families who suffered devastating losses to Hurricane Katrina. “Many of these soldiers lost their homes, the contents, their cars and almost everything else but worked seven days a week helping others, despite their losses,” said retired Brig. Gen. Luke Goodwin, executive director of the National Guard Association of Mississippi. At least 600 Guard families in Mississippi alone were effected by what is now considered one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, said Lt. Andy Thaggard, a Mississippi National Guard REGION, 4-A Fish kills puzzle Virginia officials spokesman. The Defense Department’s Safe Haven Program offers per diem allowances for 180 days for necessities and shelter for the families of deployed soldiers, but many others at home are left struggling to rebuild their lives on their own. The National Guard Association of Mississippi hopes to fill those holes and has collected more than $100,000 — mostly from other soldiers — for Guard families who lost their homes. But, the organization needs more than twice that much to help all 350 families who have applied for assistance, Goodwin said. “We were a little bit overwhelmed,” he said. Maj. Gen. Harold Cross, Mississippi’s adjutant general, selected a committee to review the applications and distribute the money to the most needy families first, Goodwin said. More than $80,000 has been paid out. Goodwin said every dollar collected will go directly to Guard families in need. “Being a Guard person myself, I know what sacrifices these people are making,” he said. “So I feel it’s vitally important that we take care of our own.” Many Guard soldiers had to ignore their own losses — and put family lives on hold — while helping other hurricane victims in what Lt. Col. Tim Powell, a Guard spokesman, says was the largest domestic response of Guard troops in history. The National Guard Association is not a military organization, but is made up of soldiers and retirees who support those currently in the National Guard.

The big question is how much Hurricane Katrina will affect their work. “There are going to be a lot of unknowns,” said Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck, who chairs the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. Most years, the budget hearings stretch over more than three weeks in September. The 14 members of the Budget Committee listen to evaluations by economists and other financial experts, and hear extensive presentations by everyone from university presidents to the state health officer. The budget hearings were delayed — then shortened — this year because of Katrina, which roared ashore Aug. 29. Instead of listening to days of oral presentations from state agency directors, Budget Committee members will evaluate written submissions when they meet Nov. 7-10. They’ll still have question-and-answer sessions with economists. The budget briefings are the start of a lengthy process that will culminate when the entire House and Senate vote on a state spending plan next spring. Katrina left tens of thousands of people homeless and hobbled a large chunk of the state’s economy, including the dozen neon-lit casinos that dotted the shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico. New state Tax Commission figures show a significant drop in casino revenues since the storm. The decrease was expected because all the Coast casinos remain closed. Casinos along the Mississippi River, which make up about 55 percent of the state’s gaming market, are still operating. The Tax Commission figures show Mississippi collected $27 million in casino taxes in July, $30.4 million in August and $16.1 million in September. Last year, the state collected $27.5 million in casino taxes in July, $33.3 million in August and $24.8 million in September.

Parks’death urges talk of fading history The Associated Press The death of Rosa Parks underscores that the generation responsible for the key victories of the civil rights movement is fading into history, leaving its survivors with the challenge of keeping the movement’s memory and work alive even as today’s youth often seem disengaged. “As people get older and people pass, it becomes more and more difficult to have that sort of firsthand knowledge” of the fight for integration, said U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat who first met Parks as a 17-yearold student and activist. Lewis, who once headed the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, added that the social chalParks lenges of today — persistent racial gaps in poverty, education and wealth, among others — highlight the continued need for activists and teachers to honor Parks’ spirit. Parks is one of a handful of civil rights figures, along with Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, whose name most young people seem to know. Many are more familiar with “Rosa Parks,” the hit song by the hip-hop group OutKast, than her full story, said Renada Johnson, a 25-year-old graduate student at Bowie State University in Maryland, who met Parks in 1997. “Young people definitely know who she was, but all we were taught in school was that she didn’t get up because her feet were hurting,” Johnson said. “They don’t know her whole story,” said Johnson. In 1955, Parks was a seamstress and longtime secretary for the local NAACP who defied segregation laws and refused to give up her seat in a whitesonly section of a public bus in Montgomery, Ala. Then at 42, she inspired tens of thousands of working-class blacks — led by King — to boycott the local buses for more than a year. The Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that declared Montgomery’s segregated seating laws unconstitutional. After she died Monday at age 92, Parks was remembered as a quiet woman of steely resolve, whose simple act helped spark the biggest movement for social change in American history.

Though Parks became poster child, earlier ride showed some defiance By ROY HOFFMAN ©2005 Newhouse News Service The story of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott cannot be fully told without Claudette Colvin, whose similar act of resistance was nearly forgotten in history’s shadows. Nearly nine months before Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery bus, Colvin, a young black woman, only 15, was arrested for refusing to get out of her seat. But civil rights leaders chose Parks’ case as the starting point for the bus boycott. On the day after Parks’ death, Colvin, 65, who usually shies away from media attention, was willing to talk about how history viewed the two of them. “The NAACP picked someone who had the personality and the character, someone who would be followed by the adults and middle-class people,” Colvin said Tuesday from her home in the Bronx borough of New York City. “The youth probably would have followed me. The students, they knew we wanted a change.” Colvin expressed sadness at the death of Parks, who was 28 years older: “She was a genteel lady, and she was able to help the youth out. I’m glad she took part and saw the need to help us. Her life was in helping in the fight for equality.” Colvin said that the summer after she was arrested in March 1955, she joined the NAACP Youth Council, where Parks was an adviser. “I told my story to her group.” That December, Parks made headlines when she was arrested. Fred Gray, the civil rights attorney who represented both women, wrote in his autobiography “Bus Ride to Justice”: “On March 2, 1955, Claudette, a 15year-old high school student, refused to obey a bus driver’s order that she relinquish her seat. She was already at the back of a bus and refused to make her seat available to a white person. When she remained seated, the bus driver called police officers, who dragged her from the bus and LITTLE HOUSE OF WONDER PRESCHOOL & DAYCARE would like to give a special “thanks” to Chevron Refinery.

The only difference in the South, they had those horrible signs up there — ‘Colored’ and ‘White.”’ — Claudette Colvin arrested her.” Gray represented Colvin, he wrote, “thinking this well could be the chance I had been waiting on to challenge the constitutionality of Montgomery’s segregation ordinances and Alabama’s segregation statues.” The Colvin case, Gray recounted, “proved a false start,” but the pattern was in place. As journalist Frye Gaillard wrote in “Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America”: “Colvin had cursed her tormentors as they carried her away, and the word quickly spread following her arrest that she was pregnant out of wedlock.” Reluctantly, Gaillard wrote, E.D. Nixon, a civil rights leader in Montgomery, “was compelled to conclude that this was not the symbol he was seeking.” Nixon “knew ... that Claudette Colvin was ... not serene or secure in the way of Mrs. Parks.” “I was 15 years old,” Colvin said. “We were made to feel inferior. That was throughout the South,” but it wasn’t unique to the South. “It was segregation North, South, East and West. The only difference in the South, they had those horrible signs up there — ‘Colored’ and ‘White.”’ She pointed out that her involvement didn’t end when she was found guilty. She was one of the plaintiffs in the suit, Browder vs. Gayle, filed Feb. 2, 1956, that successfully challenged the constitutionality of bus segregation. Parks, who was convicted of disorderly conduct on Dec. 5, 1955, after a 30-minute trial, was not part of the lawsuit. As Gray explained in his book, “I did not include Rosa Parks as a plaintiff in this case because I feared a question would arise in the federal suit about whether we were trying to circumvent and enjoin the criminal prosecution of Mrs. Parks.” FREE QUOTES MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT PLAN G: $76/month Age 66 Female Non-Smoker GARY SMITH AGENCY, INC. 1964 Market St. 762-7511 Pascagoula A Certified Agent for Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi FLOOD INSURANCE Carl Nulta 4310 Chicot St., Pascagoula, MS Phone: 228-769-2138 Fax: 228-769-1900 www.carlnulta.com LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR STATE FARM IS THERE.® State Farm Automobile Insurance Company (Not in NJ), Bloomington, Illinois TO ALL CLIENTS OF THE LAW FIRM OF FRAZIER & ROBERTS, PLLC DUE TO THE EXTREME WATER DAMAGE TO OUR OFFICES LOCATED AT 727 WATTS AVENUE, OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY RELOCATED TO 1109 JACKSON AVENUE IN PASCAGOULA.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 3-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS LOCAL Contact: Lance Davis, News Editor, (866) 843-9020 E-mail address: ldavis@mspressonline.com Katrina cleanup halts Pascagoula projects By BRAD CROCKER The Mississippi Press PASCAGOULA — Forty-eight hours before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, the city of Pascagoula put its projects on hold. And it could be several more months before the city resumes them and decides whether to let any contracts. The city was two weeks into the $1.5 million retention pond project at I.G. Levy Park, now a staging area for FEMA trailers. That project took more than three years to approve and was aimed at reducing flooding in nearby areas such as Brookwood subdivision. Jack Wilson, a resident on Nottingham Street for nine years, said he understands the delays brought by Katrina. “As long as we can keep the rain away, (the city) BRIEFS Commission to present plans in Springs OCEAN SPRINGS — Ocean Springs residents will have several opportunities to view city plans drawn up for the city by the Governor’s Commission on Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal. On Thursday, Alderman at Large Julia Weaver will host presentations of the plans at city hall. The presentations will be held between 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. and between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Those who attend will be given an opportunity to ask questions and share comments. The proposals will also be available for review at the Ocean Springs Library circulation desk or online at www.mississippirenewal.com/documents/pres_oceansprings.pdf. A town meeting will then be held on Nov. 10 at 6 p.m. where Dover, Kohl and Partners, the firm that designed the plans, will be on hand to speak with Ocean Springs residents. might can get on track before long,” he said. “There’s not much you can do about it at all.” Another project that took a backseat was the $200,000 dredging project for Chateau Lake, also located in east Pascagoula. Both projects could resume in 2006, Public Works Manager Brian Nelson said. The city has also halted the right-of-way acquisition for the $2 million improvements for Shortcut Road and Chicot Street. Katrina pushed replacement of the bridge on Beach Boulevard, from a future project to a priority, Nelson said. “Now, you can’t even drive on it because parts are missing,” said Nelson, adding that the nearby bridge on Martin Street was also damaged and needs attention now. Nelson said city crews will spend several more months removing debris, cleaning ditches, repairing damaged streets, fixing equipment and flushing storm and sewer lines. The city has asked for assistance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and approved the first phase of a $3 million sewer cleaning project for south Pascagoula. The city council also recently approved the installation of signal lights and signs for the U.S. 90 and 14th Street corridor and a six-month extension for grounds maintenance. No contracts have been canceled at this time, a situation city officials will address as time and money warrants. Last week, the council approved a $694,364 claims docket, much of which contained postKatrina costs, including $102,000 for transfer station repairs; $18,000 for six computers and a copier/printer; $20,600 for stop signs, $10,400 for various pump filters and $24,000 for debris removal. “We’re going to have to have every penny we can for the crucial things. But right now, we’re just holding off and watching our overall spending,” said City Manager Kay Kell. She added that the city is also looking at how its more than $1 million in grant-generated projects can still be realized. “We really are looking at a budget to see where we’ll be in a couple of months,” Nelson said. Public works, Nelson added, has received more public assistance than complaints regarding the locations of potholes, debris problems and safety issues around the city. “They’ve helped us out instead of just getting uneasy,” he said.

Ocean Springs Aldermen approve $21,000 refund From Staff Reports OCEAN SPRINGS — The Ocean Springs Board of Aldermen approved the refund of $21,100 in registration fees for little league football and cheerleading through the Parks and Recreation Department. The Parks and Recreation Department canceled the Ocean Springs little league season after Hurricane Katrina battered the city and the rest of the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29. This is the first time the department has had to cancel an entire league, but the standard practice of the department has been to refund money if events were canceled or if children had to withdraw from a program, said Damian McKay, director of the Parks and Recreation Department. According to McKay, the refunds will be mailed before the end of the month to the parents of any children who had registered to cheer or play football for the city league. In other business Tuesday night, the board approved the payment of approx- imately $1.4 million in hurricane-related expenses from the loan acquired to pay such expenses until reimbursement is made by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The board also granted Mayor Connie Moran the right to negotiate the lease agreement with FEMA for two acres of parking lot and two acres of undeveloped property behind the Ocean Springs Civic Center to be used as a temporary housing center for FEMA trailers. OTHER ACTION The Ocean Springs Board of Aldermen Tuesday also: • Approved a return to the board’s normal meeting schedule at 6 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of the month. • Made a proclamation declaring the city’s support of Red Ribbon Week and its stand for a drug-free healthy lifestyle. Gautier takes out $2.5 million loan from state bank By JOY E. STODGHILL The Mississippi Press officials do not know when the reimbursement will come. She said the city still has not received reimbursement from Hurricane Ivan. About $180,000 was spent on cleanup following Ivan, which made landfall in September of 2004. Wheeler told the council the $2.5 million loan from the Mississippi Development Bank is set at a variable rate, requires no payment for two years and holds no penalty for an early payoff. Ward 3 Councilman Dick Paul asked for a detailed report on the city’s hurricane costs. He asked Wheeler to present the information at the council’s next meeting. In other business, the council approved the proposed water and sewer service installation charge, or tap fee increases, for all new structures in the city. The council’s decision came after hearing a presentation by GAUTIER — The City Council approved a $2.5 million loan Tuesday from the Mississippi Development Bank. The money will be used to supplement Gautier’s current operating budget since the city has spent an estimated $2.5 million since the arrival of Hurricane Katrina on Aug. 29.

Larry Stejskal with McCrory & Williams Inc. Stejskal said increasing the fees will enable the city to expand or make improvements to the city’s sewer and water system. He said putting these fees on new structures “places more of the expansion costs on new customers rather than the old.” Approximately 32 percent of the money from each new installation can be used for further expansion or other needs of the sewer and water system. The rest of the money covers the direct cost of installation. During citizen comments, Paula Vassey said she felt now is “not the right time” to raise any fees. Following a motion by Ward 4 Councilman Don Hansford, the council requested further information concerning an annual charge for fire services, but approved tap fee increases. Hansford suggested city officials review the issue further before deciding whether to have the charge apply to all people who have the service or to new customers only. These fire services include such things as sprinkler systems on properties.

About 80 percent of the popular game fish and redbreast sunfish were wiped out last spring on the South Branch of the Shenandoah in the third major strike in four years on rivers in the region. “This isn’t your classic type of fish kill,” Stephen Reeser, of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, told some 150 people at a gathering Monday of fishing guides, environmentalists and industry representatives. “This is more chronic in nature.” Game and Inland Fisheries and the state Department of Environmental Quality, which have taken the lead in investigating the kills, said there has been no change in the water quality recently, nor evidence of a virus or parasite. Reeser said a task force formed by the two state agencies that includes citizens groups and industry representatives wants to set up machines to monitor the river water continuously next spring. That would cost $280,000 the group does not have, but some task force members hope the Virginia General Assembly can be persuaded to provide the funds. Monitoring now is done by volunteers who take samples twice a month. In addition, Reeser said, more specific testing of fish is needed to determine whether they have been the victims of an unknown virus. The kills occurred between April and June when the adult fish were already under the stress of spawning. They first developed lesions that looked like cigar burns, then died. Even if no more kills occur, Reeser estimated that it will take as long as 10 years for the river to recover. But many at the conference said they had no reason to think such kills would not recur. A similar kill occurred in 2004 on the North Fork of the Shenandoah, and two years before that on the South Branch of the Potomac River. Some at the conference saw the kills as a danger signal that other states should heed. “This is just an omen to the future of this nation’s water,” conference participant Dennis WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 AP Joe Maroon, with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, speaks at the Fish Kill Conference held at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., Monday. Fowler said. Bob Cramer, a 51-year-old fishing guide, said he does not expect to be able to make a living from the Shenandoah again. He lost half of his income this year, he said, and motels in the region had 60 percent to 70 fewer bookings just from the dropoff in his business, Cramer said. “The real shame,” he said, “is that some kid who lives down on the river is not going to be able to catch fish.” Meryl Christiansen of Front Royal helped found Friends of the Shenandoah River in 1989 after industrial dumping caused high levels of mercury in the fish. High levels of PCBs also came from industry, he said, and the river is known to be high in nutrients. “We have a river in crisis,” said Christiansen, an environmental consultant. The land along the waterways is primarily agricultural, and one conference participant from Staunton called the dominant poultry industry “the 800-pound gorilla.” But others said increasing urbanization has a role in degradation of the water. Joe Maroon of the state Department of Conservation and Recreation said it would be a mistake to wait for government to solve the problem. “We need to look at ourselves, ... how we treat the environment,” he said. The conference at James Madison University was sponsored by the nonprofit Shenandoah Valley Pure Water Forum.

Mayor Matthew Avara introduced a draft letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission urging consideration for “the expeditious permitting of” the facility and associated pipeline. The Tuesday vote means the letter will be sent to the agency. In addition to escalating natural gas prices, Avara argued that the facility would help during the lengthy recovery from Hurricane Katrina, which hit the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29. “The LNG receiving terminal would provide jobs, taxes and port revenues to the region as well as natural gas to the nation,” the draft letter read. The council also supports a similar facility proposed by Chevron Pascagoula Refinery. Both Gulf LNG Energy and Chevron are currently seeking permits for their facilities. Councilman Robert Stallworth favored the endorsement, but was concerned if the council was acting hastily without first conducting a public hearing. City Attorney Melvin Mitchell said the move Tuesday was not legally binding. Mitchell, who has a chemical engineering degree, said “scare tactics” have been presented in previous public hearings on the issue. Councilman George Wolverton, who has previous work experience in the oil industry, opposed the council’s action. He argued that “what they have failed to do is inform the public” on issues of safety, and environmental concerns regarding an LNG terminal presence in the city. Alderman at Large Bill Jones also opposed the council’s action. Councilman Keith Belcher was absent. Reporter Brad Crocker can be reached at bcrocker@mspressonline.com or (251) 2195551. Fireman accused of porn BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Crowley fire captain is accused of e-mailing sexually explicit photographs of himself to someone he believed was a 14-year-old evacuee in a Baton Rouge shelter, and of enticing the girl to send him such pictures of herself. The “evacuee” was an adult undercover agent, Attorney General Charles C. Foti Jr. said in a news release Tuesday. The statement said Scotty James Lavergne was booked on one count of pornography involving juveniles and two of computer-aided solicitation of a minor. Bond was set at $25,000 for Lavergne, who was booked into Acadia Parish Prison on Oct. 21. SWITCH gears to State Farm for the right COVERAGE at the right price.

Keneshia Boggan, 18, told Capt. George Tillman that on Saturday, Corey Bivens, 25, 3401 Brooks St., Apt. 7, came to her apartment at Singing River Townhouses, 3419 Hospital Road. She told Tillman that Bivens was angry and claimed he saw a man in her car and accused her of seeing other men. Find our why more people trust State Farm for car insurance.

Boggan said Bivens did not allow her to leave and pulled her to the ground and forced her to her upstairs apartment, Lt. Paul Leonard said. Boggan said Bivens held her against her will for several hours. She later went to the police department and filed burglary and kidnapping charges. Municipal Judge Michael Fondren denied bond because Bivens was out on bond for a previous burglary charge stemming from a separate altercation with Boggan at her apartment several weeks ago.

(AP) — Hurricane damage to Gulf of Mexico shipyards battered Northrop Grumman’s thirdquarter earnings, the company reported Tuesday, while fellow defense contractor Lockheed Martin said it had higher quarterly profits across its space, information technology and aircraft divisions. Despite the mixed sector results, the companies said their earnings were helped by business segments outside of big military hardware — such as fighter jets and aircraft carriers — for which they are perhaps best known. Government IT and electronics sales, for example, rose for both. “We are not heavily dependent on one contract to achieve Adewale Adeyooye, brother of missing 21-year-old Illinois State University student Olamide Adeyooye, center, talks with his aunt, Ajoke Akinde, left, and a family member, right, outside the Normal, Ill., police station Friday NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — The search for a missing college student from Nigeria may have reached a critical point, as officials in Mississippi waited Tuesday for medical and dental records to determine whether a body found in a burnt-out chicken house could be that of 21-year-old Olamide Adeyooye. The body was found Friday morning near Interstate 20 in the central part of the state, Delores Lewis, a Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokeswoman said in a statement. Firefighters put out a blaze in the chicken house four Adeyooye days earlier, and workers found the body as they were cleaning up the site, the statement said. Mississippi authorities notified Normal investigators about an unidentified woman’s body Monday in response to a nationwide alert seeking Adeyooye and her car, Kotte said. The car, a green 1996 Toyota Corolla with Illinois license LBG927, remains missing. Elsewhere, investigators continued to interview several “persons of interest” in a case that gained attention through an Internet campaign launched by Adeyooye’s friends. The popular senior at Illinois State University had been studying laboratory sciences and biology, and was due to graduate in December. She was last seen nearly two weeks ago at a video store near her apartment in Normal, a college town in central Illinois. A native of Nigeria who moved to suburban Chicago when she was 8, Adeyooye had planned to return to the Chicago area to complete her clinical training at a hospital. Since her disappearance on Oct. 13, Adeyooye’s family also has been a constant presence in Normal, helping police search for Adeyooye there. There have been vigils at Illinois State, at Olamide’s former high school in suburban Chicago and at a site near her boarded-up apartment and train tracks, where investigators found personal items belonging to her. Man faces trial for DVD counterfeiting HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — A Jan. 3 trial has been scheduled for a man accused of running an international counterfeit DVD ring. Randolph Hobson Guthrie III was arraigned Tuesday in federal court in Hattiesburg on criminal charges in the case. Guthrie remains free on a $1 million bond posted earlier this month during an initial court appearance in Los Angeles. The U.S. attorney’s office said Guthrie will remain under electronic monitoring with an ankle bracelet and confined to his parents’ home in New York City. Guthrie, 38, was convicted in China of selling pirated DVDs and expelled this month to the United States, where he now faces multiple charges of copyright infringement. e Sinc 74 19 The probe that led to the charges dates to September 2003 when an undercover ICE agent bought counterfeit DVDs at a flea market in Harrison County.

The Scruggs Law Firm Offices in Moss Point and Oxford, Mississippi “Serving the Gulf Coast since 1980” 6-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 NATION Cheney again at center of firestorm By RON FOURNIER The Associated Press WASHINGTON — It should surprise nobody that Vice President Dick Cheney is at the center of another firestorm. He’s got his hands in just about everything at the White House. Now the administration’s Mr. Fix-It faces a sticky political, if not legal, situation with the latest leak in the CIA leak investigation. “His name is thrown into the mix,” said Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar and political analyst at the Brookings Institution. “Big time.” Cheney once called a New York Times reporter a “big time” expletive. The same newspaper reported Tuesday that notes taken by Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby suggest that the vice president learned about CIA officer Valerie Plame from then-CIA Director George Tenet, then passed the information to Libby in a June 12, 2003 conversation. While it is not against the law for three high-level officials to discuss the identity of a CIA agent, the conversation is part of Special Counsel Patrick Cheney Fitzgerald’s investigation of whether crimes were committed when Plame’s name was leaked to journalists. The New York Times, quoting unidentified lawyers involved in the case, said Libby’s notes differed from his grand jury testimony. Libby reportedly told grand jurors he learned Plame’s name from reporters. There is nothing in the public record to suggest that Cheney, like perhaps Libby and deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove, pointed reporters toward the CIA official in conversations about her husband, diplomat Joe Wilson. But the investigation has circling the wagons around Cheney, defending the vice president while privately whether Bush still had confi- pointing to news accounts dence in Cheney, replied, that take issue with Libby’s “The president appreciates all grand jury testimony.

The the Iraqi insurgency was in fighting wasn’t going well, its “last throes,” an assertion despite Bush’s “mission rejected by military leaders. accomplished” speech, and White House officials are the president was reeling AP NEWS ANALYSIS lifted the veil on the White House’s brass-knuckle political culture — and Cheney’s role in it. The latest disclosure also raises fresh questions about the vice president’s credibility, long-ago frayed by inaccurate or questionable statements on Iraq. Cheney told NBC on Sept. 14, 2003, that he didn’t know who sent Wilson on a mission to Niger to explore claims that Iraq was seeking nuclear material. “He never submitted a report that I ever saw when he came back,” Cheney said at the time. “I don’t know Mr. Wilson. I probably shouldn’t judge him. I have no idea who hired him.” He made those remarks months after the reported conversations with Tenet and Libby, where he would have learned about Wilson and his wife. White House spokesman Scott McClellan, asked FEMA rejects Georgia’s request for housing payments WASHINGTON (AP) — Georgia officials are accusing the federal government of shortchanging their efforts to find homes for families displaced by Hurricane Katrina, and some cities have indicated they might not be able to help because they can’t afford it. A month ago, the state sent the Federal Emergency Management Agency a laundry list of reimbursements Georgia cities are expecting in exchange for helping Gulf Coast families relocate. But to the surprise of city and state officials, FEMA rejected two of the largest requests, halting some local efforts. “FEMA obviously has the money because they’re spending it on hotels and cruise ships,” said Robbie Ashe, an aide to Mayor Shirley Franklin. “We can’t understand why they won’t spend it in more efficient and effective ways. It’s one of those classic examples of bureaucracy defeating its own purpose. It’s frankly quite sad.” FEMA’s regional office in Atlanta referred questions to the Washington headquarters, but calls there Monday were not immediately returned. In one request to FEMA, Georgia asked that a local government be reimbursed up to one and a half times the fair market value for each rental property it buys, based on a formula by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. State officials said they asked for that because of a shortage of housing in metro Atlanta, which has driven prices up. The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce estimates it costs $1,300 a month for rent and utilities on an average two-bedroom apartment in the metro area. FEMA’s reimbursement would top out around $1,000, Ashe said. “Fair market value has become increasingly divorced over time,” Ashe said. “It sounds a whole lot better than it is.” Another request rejected by FEMA would have paid a local government a one-time fee of $1,000 per family to compensate the government for labor costs in the housing search. That’s the same amount FEMA currently pays HUD to find new homes for Katrina evac- uees who live in low-income isn’t allowed under the agency’s housing, Georgia officials point public assistance program. out. But in an Oct. 14 letter to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, FEMA’s federal coordinating officer Paul W.

Wilson was a threat, and Bush’s advisers had reason to doubt his credibility. So they sprang into action. Fitzgerald will soon decide whether to file charges or write the episode off to what Hess calls typical Washington “malicious gossip.” “Cheney had a conversation with his chief of staff. They talked about something that was bothering them. ... He asked the director of the CIA what gives, and they had a conversation. All of this seems to be the way you’d expect people to do business. Yada, yada, yada — and so we go,” Hess said. In purely political terms, the question is whether the public will be as blase about the White House response to Wilson once the whole story is out. Or whether they will lose faith in the president and his Mr. Fix-It. HOUSES GUTTED CHEAP CALL: 228-235-4641 Eddie C.

REID The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — The American military death toll in the Iraq war reached 2,000 Tuesday with the announcements of three more deaths, including an Army sergeant who died of wounds at a military hospital in Texas and a Marine and a sailor killed last week in fighting west of Baghdad. The 2,000 mark was reached amid growing doubts among the American public about the Iraq conflict, launched in March 2003 to destroy Saddam Hussein’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. None was ever found. In Washington, the U.S. Senate observed a moment of silence in honor of the fallen 2,000. “We owe them a deep debt of gratitude for their courage, for their valor, for their strength, for their commitment to our country,” said Republican Majority Leader Bill Frist. “Our armed forces are serving ably in Iraq under enormously difficult circumstances, and the policy of our government must U.S. public to brace for more casualties in the fight against “as brutal an enemy as we have ever faced, unconstrained by any notion of common humanity and by the rules of warfare.” “No one should underestimate the difficulties ahead,” Bush said in a speech Tuesday before the Joint Armed Forces Officers’ Wives’ luncheon in Washington. As a sign of those challenges, one of Iraq’s most ruthless terror groups — al-Qaida in Iraq — claimed responsibility for Monday’s suicide attacks against hotels housing Western journalists and contractors in Baghdad, as well as suicide bombings Tuesday in northern Iraq. In the latest casualty reports, the Pentagon said Staff Sgt. George T.

The number of Iraqis who have died since the U.S.-led invasion could reach 30,000. The number of Iraqis who have died violently since the U.S.-led invasion is many times larger than the U.S. military death toll of 2,000 in Iraq. In one sign of the enormity of the Iraqi loss, at least 3,870 were killed in the past six months alone, according to an Associated Press count. One U.S. military spokesman said it is possible the figure for the entire war could be 30,000 Iraqis, which many experts see as a credible estimate. Others suspect the number is far higher, since the chaos in Iraq leaves the potential for many killings to go unreported. The losses are far larger than most analysts and Pentagon planners expected before the war and mean Iraqi civilians are bearing most of the suffering. “We may never know the true number of the Iraqi public that has been killed or injured in this war,” said the U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, Lt. Col. Steve Boylan. “The Iraqi public has taken the brunt of the casualties.” Every day claims more victims: A car bomb targeting American troops that kills Iraqi passers-by. An insurgent attack on a police station. Sectarian militias dumping blindfolded corpses in the Euphrates River. Civilians made up more than two-thirds of the Iraqis killed in war-related violence since the country’s first elected government took power on April 28, according to the AP count. The rest were Iraqi security personnel. Boylan said the U.S. military keeps its own tally of Iraqi dead, but does not release it. He said he had asked U.S. authorities to see the estimates of Iraqi dead himself, and was refused. But he suggested an estimate from Iraq Body Count, a British anti-war group that has compiled a death toll based on media reports, appeared credible. The group estimated that from 26,690 to 30,051 Iraqi civilians were killed, or roughly 1,000 per month in the 30 months since the war began.

Those announcements brought the U.S. death toll to 2,000, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press. It was unclear who was the 2,000th service member to die in Iraq since the U.S. military often delays death announcements until families are notified. On Monday, for example, the U.S. command announced that an unidentified Marine was killed in action the day before — after the deaths of the three service members reported Tuesday. In an e-mail statement to Baghdad-based journalists, command spokesman Lt. Col. Steve Boylan said media attention on the 2,000 figure was misguided and “set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives.” He described the grim statistic as an “artificial mark on the wall” and urged news organizations to focus more on the accomplishments of the U.S. military mission in Iraq. For example, Iraqi officials announced Tuesday that voters had approved a new constitution in the Oct. 15 referendum, laying the foundation for constitutional, democratic Iraqi government after decades of Saddam’s tyranny. “I ask that when you report on the events, take a moment to think about the effects on the families and those serving in Iraq,” Boylan wrote. “The 2,000 service members killed in Iraq supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom is not a milestone.” Boylan said the 2,000th service member to die in Iraq “is just as important as the first that died and will be just as important as the last to die in this war against terrorism and to ensure freedom for a people who have not known freedom in over two generations.” He complained that the true milestones of the war were “rarely covered or discussed,” including the troops who had volunteered to serve, the families of those that have been deployed for a year or more, and the Iraqis who have sought at great risk to restore normalcy to their country.

At a two-day conference that began Monday, some officials discussed whether they might have to break international patent regulations to produce generic versions of Tamiflu — one of the only drugs effective against the virus — if it came down to saving their civilians. “A suggestion that’s being made by some countries is that there are countries that have the capacity to manufacture the vaccine, that we actually need to assist them with technology transfers,” Canada’s Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh told a news conference. He said technology transfers was “a euphemism for loosening the patent laws.” He was referring to India, whose health officials are weighing whether there is enough risk of bird flu spreading in their impoverished nation to invoke a licensing clause to lift Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche’s patent of Tamiflu. The drug is one of only two believed to be effective against the H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has killed 62 people in Asia since 2003. “It may not be resolved here, but there are countries out there that are saying they will defy patent protections — and we couldn’t be judgmental if people are dying,” Dosanjh said. The World Trade Organization in 2003 decided to allow governments to override patents during national health crises, though no member state has yet invoked the clause. Ministers from 30 countries and the heads of the World Health Organization and U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization at the conference said containing the avian flu that has hit Vietnam and Thailand the hardest was the top priority. Most recently, Russia, Turkey, Britain and Romania have reported the disease in birds. “Our first line of defense should be attacking the problem at the poultry level,” Dr. Alejandro Thiermann, adviser to the director general of the World Organization for Animal Health, said at the opening session Monday. “So far, it is our opinion that the international community has drastically underinvested in the veterinary infrastructure required to support this vitally important program.” Before the officials went into closed sessions for most of Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin emphasized the importance of helping Southeast Asian nations. “The simple fact is that many impoverished families and farmers may consider it too risky to report sick animals — they’re the source of their food as well as their livelihood, so it’s often customary to kill animals that get sick, to be eaten or sold,” he said. “When sicknesses are reported in these areas, local officials often lack the capacity to respond,” he added. Martin also said the current meeting would help governments respond better to potential calamities such as “other emerging diseases, to natural disasters and to threats of bioterrorism we may face in the future.” Full Service Clinic in Ocean Springs NOW OPEN • Hurricane Debris Cleanup • Tree Removal • Tractor Work • Lawn & Shrub Maintenance ~ Fully Insured ~ Serving Pascagoula, Moss Point, Gautier, Ocean Springs (228) 875-1599 CALL 475-6048 U.S., France, Britain tell Syria to help with probe ■ Government officials suspected in assassination UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States, France and Britain on Tuesday demanded that Syria detain government officials suspected of involvement in the assassination of a former Lebanese prime minister and ensure their cooperation with a U.N. probe or face possible sanctions. The call was contained in a draft resolution that orders Syria to make the officials or individuals “fully and unconditionally available” to the U.N. investigating commission. It states that Syria must allow the commission to interview Syrians that it considers relevant to the inquiry “outside Syria and/or outside the presence of any other Syrian official if the commission so requests.” If Syria does not fully cooperate with the investigation, the draft says the council intends to consider “further measures” to ensure compliance, including sanctions. The draft resolution also calls for anyone designated by the commission as suspected of involvement in Hariri’s assassination to be subject to a travel ban and to have their assets frozen. The proposed resolution would be under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter which is militarily enforceable. The United States and France circulated the resolution hours after the chief U.N. investigator, Detlev Mehlis, briefed the council on his report which implicated top Syrian and Lebanese security officials in the car bomb that killed Hariri and 20 other people. Mehlis has said repeatedly that Syria had not fully cooperated and continuing the probe would be near impossible if Damascus didn’t change course. He took that message directly to the council in his briefing, urging Syria to help “fill in the gaps” about who orchestrated the bombing, both by cooperating with a probe and studying the crime itself. The draft resolution declares that “it is unacceptable that anyone should escape accountability for an act of terrorism because of his own obstruction of the investigation or failure to cooperate in good faith.” It would endorse the Mehlis commission’s conclusion “based on Syria’s suspected involvement in this terrorist act and lack of adequate cooperation to the inquiry to date, that it is incumbent upon the Syrian authorities to clarify a considerable part of the questions which remain unresolved.” Under the draft’s provisions, Syria would also be required to renounce terrorism and “commit itself definitively to cease all support for all forms of terrorist action and all assistance to terrorist groups and to demonstrate this undertaking through concrete actions.” U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said the Security Council would hold a meeting on Monday at ministerial level to consider the resolution. U.N. diplomats said they expect the ministers to adopt the resolution, which would give added weight to the measure and increase pressure on Syria. Recover. Rebuild. Reconnect to the world.

Our Opinion Rosa Parks, 1913-2005 There are certain people, the unexpected sort, as U.S. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia reminded on Wednesday, that the “spirit of history” taps on the shoulder. In 1955, that spirit offered a seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus to a soft-spoken, black 42-yearold seamstress. Her name was Rosa Parks. But what made Parks one of America’s most important figures is that once she sat down in a seat “for whites only,” she would not be moved, no matter what the laws of Jim Crow segregation said. Rosa Parks had seen enough and heard enough hatred and discrimination. And she would not move. She was arrested, later convicted and fined $14. Her quiet determination sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, which catapulted a young minister, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., to national prominence. Montgomery, the South, the nation and the world would be forever changed. Nine years earlier, when Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier, it was said he was the right person to send tumbling down the wall of racism in baseball. Robinson was college educated, well spoken, a dogged competitor. And while there had been other bus boycotts, notably the peacefully resolved Baton Rouge bus boycott, Rosa Parks’ quiet courage in Montgomery captured the attention of the white national media, putting civil rights smack on the front page of major American newspapers. She was a pillar in her church. But her “life history,” she told author Howell Raines in “My Soul Is Rested,” prepared her for the landmark moment. Active in the NAACP, Parks had been invited to the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee, an integrated retreat. “That was the first time in my life I had lived in an atmosphere of complete equality with members of the other race ...,” she said. “I felt it could be done without the signs that said ‘White’ and ‘Colored’ — well, without any artificial barriers of racial segregation.” A few months later, history offered Rosa Parks a seat on the bus. And she would not move. Rest in peace, Mrs. Parks. Other Opinion Writers and editors While waiting for prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to indict (or not) someone in the Plamegate scandal, critics have turned their ire on Judith Miller. Miller is the reporter for The New York Times who spent 85 days in jail rather than reveal a source linked to the affair. In the weeks since I. Lewis Libby, the vice president’s chief of staff, evidently freed Miller from her promise of confidentiality, she has increasingly come under attack. Papers must protect their reporters. An important public interest is served whenever people feel that they can safely share information with the media. But the Times’s own recent report on the case, along with Miller’s published account, has raised questions about whether the paper or its reporter followed sound journalistic practices. The report revealed a failure of editors to keep Miller in line — even after she had been forbidden to keep working on stories about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. In a memo to staff members last week, Executive Editor Bill Keller said he regretted not having questioned her more closely before the paper threw itself into a fullthrottle defense. In not supervising her as it should have, The Times damaged its own credibility. Miller’s weakness, it appears is a tendency to let herself be used by her sources...She carried water for an administration intent on proving that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, with a story The Times later had to retract. She never did write a story about the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s name. Miller asserts she urged The Times to do a story on the leak; her boss at the time, Jill Abramson, insists that no such request was made. Much of the outcry has to do with The Times’s vast sense of its own importance. But in its bare bones, this is a story about a problem employee. It would be unfortunate if it were taken as a sign that all mainstream media are untrustworthy, or that anonymous sources are invariably bad. The truth is that what these sources say must be weighed with special care. Good journalism requires a blend of trust and skepticism, one that begins between reporter and source, but extends, crucially, to the relationship between reporter and editor. — Scripps Howard News Service No compassion in the welfare-warfare state By CHRIS POWELL The Providence Journal MANCHESTER, Conn. — Hurricane winds blew the roof off New Orleans and exposed to a national audience the racially disproportionate poverty underneath. So now there are calls for a new national examination of poverty. These calls come mainly from Democrats and others on the political left, and may arise more from political opportunism than from a desire to right any public-policy wrongs. But Republicans and the right should heed them, for the country’s failure with poverty is more a failure of commission than omission, more a failure of those who complain about it than those who have been indifferent to it. Yes, supposed conservatives love the government’s failure with poverty. It is the rationalization not only for their indifference but also for their cynicism about all of government, and for the looting of the country through tax reductions skewed toward wealth and financed with borrowed money. “We had a war on poverty,” Ronald Reagan remarked sardonically, “and poverty won.” The problem is that poverty’s victory was also government’s victory, and that was fine with the political left and with Democrats generally, the party of government. Huge bureaucracies of the “helping professions” have been constructed in the name of eradicating poverty, and those bureaucracies have been largely left in place through the current administration. Yet the government’s own figures show that the percentage of the population living in poverty is increasing. That is, Reagan was right; poverty policy hasn’t worked and isn’t working. Indeed, like the war on drugs, the war on poverty has never even been meant to be won. Rather, it has been meant to be waged, to the great profit of those waging it so unsuccessfully. But must the choice be only between giving up or doing more of what has failed? What about trying something different? What about a war on childbearing outside marriage, which welfare policy subsidizes, even though it is the main cause of poverty? Instead of subsidizing childbearing outside marriage, why not subsidize medical insurance for all through their employers on the basis of income, thereby guaranteeing full coverage for the working poor, giving them more of an incentive to work, and raising their standard of living? Instead of injecting fantastic wealth into the drug trade through contraband law — and thus luring the poor outside the law, where so many individuals and families are destroyed by violence and the criminal-justice system, making cities uninhabitable in the process — why not medicalize the drug problem, giving drugs to addicts by prescription while making rehabilitation universally available? Poverty is worsening not for lack of public expenditure but for government’s refusal to audit poverty policy — a refusal arising from the comfortable life the government class has built from that policy. Poverty endures because Republicans don’t care and Democrats just pretend to care. But there’s another reason why government persists in failure in poverty policies and other policies, such as the adventure in Iraq: Much of it is also deficit spending, the spending of borrowed money, nobody’s money — or, really, the money of foreigners, who are financing the United States, buying the government bonds of a country that is effectively bankrupt, and the money of future generations, who will be stuck with an unpayable debt, a debt that will sink their currency, the dollar. When Congress appropriated $52 billion the other day for relief of the hurricane-stricken areas in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, there really wasn’t a lot of compassion involved, for all the money was simply borrowed, conjured out of thin air, as if anything of real value could be created by mere desire. In appropriating for the relief effort, Congress gave not a thought to raising the money by taxation or by economizing elsewhere in government, not a thought to making choices and sacrifices. No member of Congress proposed reviewing the highway legislation enacted just a few weeks before, with its billions of “earmarks,” patronage appropriations for construction projects for which there was little public need. Few proposed postponing the Bush administration’s tax reductions. And of course no one proposed postponing the latest round of salary increases for members of Congress, which now occur automatically, without recorded vote. No, when it comes to public spending, no choices have to be made in the United States anymore. Republicans don’t have to contemplate whether America can afford the adventure in Iraq and whether it is working, and Democrats don’t have to reconsider poverty policy. Deficit spending underwrites what Rep. Ron Paul, R.-Texas, has called “the welfare/warfare state,” policies the public would never endorse if they had to be financed out of real current incomes. All this may not be surprising; it may be only the ordinary corruption of empire in arrogance, greed and sloth. But foreigners could pull the plug on it at any moment — not merely by declining to continue financing the United States, but by declining to increase their financing to match the increase in U.S. profligacy. There are signs that the foreigners are already wising up. When they do, the dollar may collapse and there may be hyperinflation, soaring interest rates, capital controls, shortages, and dislocations that will make the recent hurricanes seem like a sun shower. Chris Powell is managing editor of The Journal Inquirer, in Manchester, Conn. Near the end of his magnificent book, “1776,” historian David McCullough writes this about George Washington: “He was not a brilliant strategist or tactician, not a gifted orator, not an intellectual. At several crucial moments he had shown marked indecisiveness. He had made serious mistakes in judgment.” Sound familiar? That’s what critics of today’s “George W.” say about him. McCullough concludes, “But experience had been (Washington’s) great teacher from boyhood, and in this his greatest test, he learned steadily from experience.” Has the contemporary “George W.” learned from experience? In what could be a critical week for the Bush administration, special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald may indict top White House aide and political guru Karl Rove, along with Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff and a chief strategist in the war in Iraq, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. If that happens, the media and their ideological friends in the Democratic Party might raise the ghost of Richard Nixon, asserting whatever errors, indiscretions or illegalities these men may have committed are akin to Watergate. That probably won’t fly for long and the Democrats, given their recent history of defending Bill Clinton from moral and ethical indiscretions (including lying under oath), don’t have much credibility in that area. But even though the Democrats are in disarray and have no moral standing or ideas, it’s not an excuse for the White House to ride out potentially bad publicity and refuse to do something to halt the continuing slide in public approval ratings. What to do? First, the president should shake up his staff, bringing in new people who have vision, experience and unquestioned integrity. Then, he should say what he thinks it means to be a conservative Republican, which once meant smaller, cheaper and less intrusive government. Under Republicans, the cost and reach of government have expanded, including gobs of new money for education and new entitlement programs that would shame a New Dealer. A real conservative would at least try to reverse this trend, even if he fails. The president should announce something dramatic regarding the war in Iraq. He should speak about America’s objective as victory, instead of the withdrawal of U.S. troops once Iraqi forces are ready to take over. As military historian and American Enterprise Institute scholar Frederick W. Kagan writes in this week’s The Weekly Standard: “The measure of success is not the number of ’trained’ Iraqi battalions available, but the defeat of the insurgency. Both the strategy and the message must be: America will not leave Iraq until the Sunni Arabs, and all other groups and ethnicities, have abandoned the hope that violence will lead to political advantage.” To that end, the president should announce a plan to increase the size of the Army, which, as Kagan writes, could and should have been done as early as 2001. If it had been done as late as 2003, new troops would now be available to help crush the Sunni-Arab opposition and to persuade them we have no intention of withdrawing until the job is complete. They have based their hopes on America cutting and running. Following through on his pledge to do something serious about illegal immigration would also go a long way to rekindling the fire of support for the president that is in danger of going out in many conservative bellies. If Harriet Miers withdraws her name for consideration as a Supreme Court Justice, or if her nomination is defeated in the Senate, a known conservative would be just the ticket for rousing the base from its growing disgust. President Bush must redefine himself publicly and for his own sake. What does he see beyond the face in the mirror and beneath the words others write for him? Where are his convictions and positions on which he will not compromise or falter? The contemporary “George W.” must constantly restate what is at stake domestically and in the war against radical Islam and he must never give up or compromise these principles. Concerning that other “George W.,” McCullough writes, “Above all, Washington never forgot what was at stake and he never gave up.” A lot is riding on whether this “George W.” has that same attitude and vision.

QUOTABLES “There have been wars and great battles fought over much less and she never lifted a finger in hostility and yet to change the world with her actions ... her legacy of quiet and peaceful rebellion against hatred will live on for many years to come.” — Bobby Bright, mayor of Montgomery, Ala., on Rosa Parks, who died late Monday at the age of 92. “The size of the problem is staggering, but the scale of the response has been inadequate.” — Ann Veneman of UNICEF, on a new study showing that children under 15 account for 1 in 6 global AIDS-related deaths and 1 in 7 new global HIV infections. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 Panel approves $10 billion cut in spending By KEVIN FREKING The Associated Press WASHINGTON — A Republican-led effort to slow spending on health care programs for the poor, elderly and disabled survived a stern test in the Senate Tuesday. That chamber ’s Finance Committee, voting along party lines, approved legislation that would trim overall spending on Medicare and Medicaid by about $10 billion over five years. The committee’s 11 Republicans supported the legislation. The committee’s nine Democrats opposed it. In doing so, Democrats cited what they believed was inadequate assistance for victims of Hurricane Katrina. In particular, Democrats wanted to temporarily extend Medicaid coverage to thousands of people currently ineligible for the program even though they have lost their jobs and their home. “Eight weeks ago yesterday, Katrina made landfall. Eight weeks ago today, the levees broke. And eight weeks later, I cannot in good conscience join in cutting health care, when Congress has left the health care needs of Katrina’s victims unaddressed,” said Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, the top Democrat on the Finance Committee. Republicans said they weren’t thrilled with the bill, either, mainly because they said it did not go far enough to overhaul Medicaid, the nation’s health insurance program for the poor. But they rejected the notion that beneficiaries would get a reduced level of care as a result of the changes they approved. “We are not cutting health care services to the beneficiaries,” said Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa. “We have squeezed some fraud out. We have squeezed providers.” The legislation reflected the difficult balancing act facing the committee’s chairman, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa. Grassley had to maintain support from all 11 committee Republican to ensure the measure’s passage. But some wanted more significant reductions in Medicaid than others were willing to accept. In the end, the legislation the panel approved Tuesday would reduce Medicare spending by about $5.8 billion over five years and Medicaid by about $4.3 billion during that time. Even with those reductions, however, the Congressional Budget Office projects that financing of the two programs would grow substantially over the coming five years. The CBO predicts Medicaid spending will increase from about $192 billion in 2006 to about $260 billion in 2010.

He said he sees Mississippi, which ranks near the bottom of many education listings, as a place where improvements are needed and will be welcomed. Chambers said an initial $20 million is earmarked for seven individual schools or districts — five of those in the Hattiesburg area. The company said the schools were selected because they sustained some damage from the hurricane, but they were not destroyed and could be rebuilt quickly. The schools are Forrest County Agricultural High School, with 500 students; Forrest County School District, 2,400 students; Hattiesburg School District, 4,700 students; Lamar County School District, 7,200 students; Petal School District, 3,700 students; Moss Point High School, 900 students; and Harrison Central High School, 800 students. The schools will receive money to improve technology, online curriculum and professional development, the company said. Another $20 million, the company said, would be made available over the next two to three years to other states for school systems devastated by Katrina. A company spokeswoman said specific decisions will be made later about where the second $20 million will be spent. Melvia Fountain, principal of Hattiesburg’s Rowan Elementary School, said the Cisco donations will make her students “productive citizens in a global society.” She said most of her students come from economically struggling families who can’t afford computers. “Because they don’t get that at home, we at school have to provide all we can. And we’ve been doing that with limited funds,” Fountain said. Katrina caused billions of dollars of damage throughout south Mississippi. State Superintendent of Education Hank Bounds said the storm destroyed 16 schools, severely damaged 24 and caused less extensive damage to 263 others. The hurricane also destroyed about $40 million of computers and other technology equipment, $40 million worth of textbooks and $235 million of teaching supplies in the public schools, Bounds said. Bounds said while those losses need to be replaced, education programs throughout Mississippi need improvement. “Obviously, the perception of public education is not where you want it,” Bounds told about 1,000 people at the MEC gathering. “The only way you can change perception is to change reality.” 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 your one stop store for: • Vinyl Siding • Windows • Interior & Exterior doors • Ceramic Tile • Interior Molding & Trim • Dry Wall Primer • Electrical & Plumbing Supplies OPEN: MONDAY-FRIDAY 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM SAT. 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM SUNDAY 11:00 AM - 3 PM H w y. 9 0 - G a u t i e r - 4 9 7 - 9 7 5 0 11-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS MOSS POINT HIGH TACKY DAY William Colgin/The Mississippi Press Moss Point High School students Reginald Steele, left, Matrina Little and Tymeshia Fuller compare outfits during Tacky Day Tuesday.

(AP) — An 83-year-old Shreveport man has been arrested on drug charges — for the second time since August. Narcotics agents arrested Unis Coleman Tuesday after he allegedly sold marijuana to an undercover agent who came to his house, police said. Agents said they seized about half a pound of marijuana from Coleman’s house. He was booked on charges of distribution of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, Coleman was arrested in August for cultivating and possessing marijuana. Police said they found three marijuana plants, packaged marijuana, guns and money at Coleman’s house. He was later released on bond and those charges are pending. Agents said they received more complaints Coleman was involved in drug activity so they sent an undercover agent to his house. 12-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 Dutch Bayou From Page 1-A To the east of the church, homeowners are doing much of the same, gutting interiors. Because of possible lurking environmental dangers, Young is pushing for an assessment to be conducted on soil there before homes and churches rebuild. If there’s a heavy concentration of contamination, Young wants the federal government to step in with a recovery assistance program, without cost to property owners. What worries Young most is Dutch Bayou Road’s is close proximity to the former Morton International chemical plant. The company, a subsidiary of Rohm and Haas, settled an environmental pollution lawsuit in 2000 for $20 million. Dutch Bayou also is home to Mississippi Gulf Coast Wastewater Authority’s sewage treatment plant and is not too far away from a pogey processing plant and an incinerator that burns garbage to produce electricity. “History will record Hurricane Katrina as the worst flood or hurricane that ever hit America. It won’t record the diseases or germs left in these buildings that we’ve patched up and covered up for the folks to breathe from generation to generation,” Young said. “What I don’t want to happen is for this disaster money to leave this Gulf Coast without these homes being reconstructed. I believe every one of these houses in the Escatawpa area is contaminated,” he said. W.J. and Barbara Brown, whose home is east of the church, don’t know Young, but they share some of the same environmental concerns. The Browns are still looking at black muck that covers the floor of their Dutch Bayou home. The elderly couple remembers seeing a hodgepodge of pollution — diesel, sewage and trash — in the water on Aug. 29, the day Katrina struck. C.E. Miller, manager of the wastewater authority, said problems were experienced at the plant during the hurricane when the storm surge reached heights of seven to eight feet. “The flood water did get in the process. We didn’t have anybody there during the storm. By the time we could get back to it, all the waters had receded. We didn’t have evidence of sewer sludge getting out into the neighborhood. It very possibly could have,” Miller said. “We considered salt water getting into the system but didn’t consider the system getting out in the neighborhood. We try to be a good neighbor to those people out there. We’ve never had overflow or leakage,” he said. Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality learned of the residential concern Tuesday and plans to inspect along Dutch Bayou Road today. “I am glad the citizens are concerned enough they have decided to pursue it. I wish they had contacted my office, so we could have taken an active role in trying to determine if there is a problem,” said Mayor Xavier Bishop. “I am in favor of testing that needs to be done to determine if there’s any contamination. If it is determined there is, we will take all William Colgin/The Mississippi Press necessary steps immediately to mitigate the problem.” Rev. Richard Young with Greater First Baptist Church in Escatawpa has been giving sermons Young said, “My concern is not only for in a makeshift addition of the church since the sanctuary was gutted by Hurricane Katrina.

Recovery From Page 1-A “We’re going to have to fix it in a way that is stronger,” schools superintendent Frank Till said. Government officials and business executives scrambled to repair buildings and find other places to work. Broward County court officials were trying to determine whether sessions could be held at the damaged courthouse in coming days. Some schools and courts closed for the week. Orders to boil water were issued in many locations. Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties imposed overnight curfews. At Miami International, the busiest U.S. hub for Latin American travel, the first plane to land since the hurricane arrived Tuesday from Brazil, and domestic flights were to resume Wednesday morning. Airports at Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach remained closed to commercial traffic but emergency aircraft were coming into both facilities. At least 2,000 domestic and international flights were disrupted by the storm, affecting hundreds of thousands of fliers, when Wilma knocked out electricity and damaged roofs, towers, fences and other equipment. Agriculture officials said damage to their industry would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The greatest losses were believed to be to the winter vegetable crop, which provides more than half of the nation’s supply from November to February. Also hurt were sugar cane fields and ornamental-plant nurseries. The 21st storm in the worst Atlantic hurricane season on record, Wilma was blamed for at least five deaths statewide. Before hitting the United States, it killed at least six people in Mexico, one in Jamaica and 12 in Haiti as it swirled across the Caribbean. “It will be days or weeks before we are back to normal,” Miami-Dade May- or Carlos Alvarez said. In the wake of complaints over the way the government dealt with Hurricane Katrina, the governor praised the early response to Wilma. But not everyone was so pleased. Thousands of people reportedly stood in line for up to 10 hours in North Miami, waiting for relief supplies that did not arrive until early evening. “Pretty sad,” said Douglas Riley, shaking his head after waiting 71⁄2 hours for two bags of ice. “It’s very disappointing for the amount of stuff we got. But I’m grateful.” Trucks carrying bags of ice and cases of water were late to a number of distribution areas. “We know the assets are there. Now it’s just a matter of getting the product to the people,” Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez said. FEMA spokeswoman Frances Marine urged patience. “We can’t wave a magic wand and clear roads and fix THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Announces the publication of... A P ictorial OF Hu r r i c a n e Ka t r i n a damage that was done by nature in a day,” she said. Distribution went more smoothly elsewhere. At Key West High School, the food even included Key lime pie. And many storm-savvy Floridians coped with good humor, their mood lifted in part by spectacular weather in the wake of Wilma: cloudless skies and unseasonably low temperatures that dropped into the 50s about dawn Tuesday and were in the mid-70s during the day. “This weather is a blessing,” said Agnes Howard, who found her home without air conditioning following a hurricane for the second time in two months. “The heat in the aftermath of the last storm was insufferable,” said her husband, John Terrill, referring to August’s Katrina. “Nobody slept for days. At least we got a good night’s sleep last night.” Wilma knocked out power for hun- dreds of miles, cutting off electricity to a staggering one out of three Florida residents. Florida Power & Light, the state’ biggest utility, said Wilma affected more of its 4.3 million customers than any other natural disaster in the company’s history. In heavily populated areas such as Miami-Dade County, as many as 98 percent of its customers lost power. At the Who’s on 1st Deli in Fort Lauderdale, Maria Salvo and her daughters melted ice for coffee and made egg, cheese and sausage sandwiches on gas burners. “We’re selling whatever we have,” she said as people waited in line with insulated cups. Nearby, the steeple of the First Baptist Church of Fort Lauderdale was stripped bare, and the sanctuary lost much of its roof. Maintenance worker Don Anderson walked around the grounds with a chain saw, cutting up some of the 100 or so damaged trees.

Maybe not in the lives of everyone, but local athletes are giving their towns something to cheer about. Volleyball teams at East Central, St. Martin, Vancleave and Ocean Springs each made the playoffs and gave their cities something to feel joy in. St. Martin, Moss Point and Ocean Springs also reached the playoffs in softball and once again JR. gave Wittner their cities something to cheer for in difficult times. Communities all along the Coast were struck by Katrina and the damage is still leaving its mark. A couple of players on St. Martin’s softball team lost their homes during the storm, but being able to get together and play softball surely most have given the players a little release. Football has a stranglehold on most people in the South and that is no different in Mississippi. After missing a couple of games due to Katrina, prep football action got back under way and there has been excitement in the air ever sense. Ocean Springs, Moss Point, Gautier and Greene County are all ranked in the Associated Press Top 10, with just a few weeks to play this season. Ocean Springs, Moss Point, Pascagoula, George County, Gautier, Vancleave and East Central are all battling for playoff spots. Over the next three weeks, those teams will battle each Friday night to give their cities something to cheer about in a time when everyone needs something to elevate their spirits. Basketball and soccer are right around the corner and baseball and softball will follow shortly after that, and these kids will be giving their all for their family, friends and community. I have been so impressed by what kids at local schools have been doing during such a difficult time like this. The courage and togetherness they have all shown should be an example to all of us. It’s easy to say who can think of sports at a time like this, but thinking of sports in some of these communities may be just what they need. Go out and catch a game Friday night and take a two-hour trip to somewhere other than facing the difficulties of the aftermath of the storm. JR. Wittner can be reached at (251) 219-5553 or sports@mspressonline. com. Norwood carrying load at State STARKVILLE (AP) — Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom surely can’t hide his star running back now — not after his recent record-breaking performance. “It’s no secret that we are going to try to get Jerious Norwood the ball,” Croom said Tuesday at his weekly news conference. Norwood set the school’s single-game rushing record with 257 yards in last week’s 28-16 loss to Houston, breaking the mark of 237 yards set against Alabama in 1998 by James Johnson. “He was able to do that because our offensive run blocking has vastly improved,” Croom said. “The wide receivers also did a good job of blocking downfield. That is the encouraging part for us but it is also very obvious that we missed opportunities, in particular in the first half to win that game.” Norwood ran 66 yards for the Bulldogs’ lone touchdown against the Cougars. But aside from that, the team’s inability to get into the end zone was costly. Mississippi State (2-5, 0-4 Southeastern Conference) managed just three field goals the rest of the way in losing its HOOPS PREVIEW Plenty of holes to fill at MSU AP Mississippi State running back Jerious Norwood run past Houston defenders for a long touchdown Saturday in Starkville. Norwood gained an MSU record 257 yards in the loss to the Cougars. fourth straight game. “Many of the players were disappointed and were hurt by the loss, and that is how you are supposed to feel,” Croom said. “The only way you can cure that sick feeling is to go win a football game.” Croom also said kicker Keith Andrews probably won’t play at Kentucky (1-5, 0-3) after he injured his leg on the second- half kickoff. Adam Carlson relieved him and kicked a 20yard field goal in the third quarter. “He has gotten a lot of work in practice, but just has not gotten the game experience,” Croom said of Carlson. “He is going to get a lot this weekend. I have confidence in Adam to get the job done.” Kickoff is 6 p.m. Saints find another way to lose SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Lastminute penalties and mistakes are starting to mount for the New Orleans Saints. At 2-5, the club is off to its worst start since 1999 and in last place by two games in the NFC South. New Orleans was 1-6 and on the way to a 3-13 record in Mike Ditka’s final season with the Saints. Coach Jim Haslett need only look at the final plays of the past two games to see why. Two weeks ago, the Saints lost to Atlanta 34-31 when the Falcons got a second chance to make a last-second field goal because of a defensive holding penalty on Tony Bryan. That trend continued Sunday against St. Louis. New Orleans was driving into Rams territory when a completion to tight end Ernie Conwell turned into an interception return for a 28-17 Rams victory. “That’s one area where I’m really concerned,” Haslett said. “We’re not playing at the level we’ve played in the past. That bothers me as much as anything.” Mistakes on special teams are the chief concern for Haslett. For the second week in a row, placekicker John Carney had a field goal attempt blocked. Haslett said the Saints have committed 18 penalties on special teams plays, matching last season’s total. “That’s enough. You want to get no more than one a game,” Haslett said. “I’m not real happy about it. I don’t know if it’s the focus or the guys playing aren’t very smart. We’re going to look at it.” Some stats that particularly stand out so far this season: The Saints have been outscored by a 201-119 margin, an average of almost 12 points per game. The club is last in the league in turnover margin, giving the ball away 12 more times than they have taken it away. And only six teams in the league have more opportunities to score inside the opponents’ 20-yard line, but the Saints are fourth-worst in the league in converting those opportunities. Blown leads haunted the team in St. Louis. New Orleans was up 14-0 in the first quarter but were unable to respond when the Rams racked up 21 unanswered STARKVILLE (AP) — Rick Stansbury isn’t sure what to expect from his young Mississippi State team. The Bulldogs almost certainly will be one of the youngest teams in the country, and the coach is replacing his top six scorers from a team that last season played in its fourth straight NCAA tournament. “I can’t change where we are in experience and youthfulness,” Stansbury said Monday during the team’s media day. “Naturally, our goals are the same. We’re not going to use it or lack of experience as an excuse. We’ve got to do other things to offset that, and offset it with togetherness and toughness.” Perhaps the biggest hole Stansbury must fill is at power forward, where onetime Southeastern Conference player of the year and Howell Trophy winner Lawrence Roberts has moved on to the NBA. Roberts led the team with averages of 16.9 points and 11 rebounds per game in leading the Bulldogs, who lost to Duke in the second round of the tournament. He also must replace point guard Gary Ervin, who transferred to Arkansas and will be eligible next season; graduated 3-point shooters Shane Power and Winsome Frazier, slasher Ontario Harper and center Marcus See HOOPS, Page 2-B Hornets get better as season nears AP New Orleans’ Ernie Conwell appears to have control of the football on a pass from quarterback Aaron Brooks with St. Louis defensive back Jerome Carter defending during the second half of the game in St. Louis, Sunday. St. Louis’ Mike Furrey picked up the football off Conwell while he was on his back and ran 67-yards for the touchdown. The Rams defeated the Saints 28-17. points in the fourth quarter. “One play here and one play there and before you know it, we’re in the fourth quarter and we haven’t put them away,” offensive guard Kendyl Jacox said. Five plays following a fumble by receiver Donte’ Stallworth, the Rams scored the goahead touchdown. That still left almost six minutes for the Saints to score. Those hopes collapsed when the officials ruled Conwell didn’t hang on to a pass in St. Louis territory. It appeared Conwell was down with his hands on the ball. But there was no chance for a replay when Rams safety Mike Furrey plucked the ball out of Conwell’s hands and raced 67 yards for a touchdown. The play started when 2:10 showed on the clock, meaning there could be no replay ordered from the booth in the final two minutes although the play ended with 1:55 to go. And the Saints couldn’t request a replay because they were out of time outs. Haslett, who has been fined for criticizing officials this season, thought Conwell caught the ball but didn’t blast officials this time. The call wasn’t sitting well with one player. “I’ve never seen a guy catch the ball and land on his back and another guy take it away and go for six (points),” Jacox said. “In my mind, they were going to review it. So I stayed on the field. They had to tell us to get off. I couldn’t believe it. I honestly don’t know what to say.” After playing two home games at their practice facility at the Alamodome following Hurrican Katrina, the Saints next travel to Baton Rouge, La., for a home game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Gordon gets early start on team rebuilding MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Jeff Gordon is out of the Chase for the championship, and thinks he deserves to be. These days, while he breaks in a new crew chief, Gordon talks a lot about being better next year. That doesn’t mean he’s waiting until then. Gordon and new crew chief Steve Letarte got started on the comeback Sunday, holding off Tony Stewart in a three-lap dash to win at Martinsville Speedway. It was Gordon’s first victory since May 1 at Talladega, and a much-needed pick-me-up for the team. “I don’t know how long it’s been since we had a top 5, so anything to really just get us a spark, get the excitement, get some chemistry going between Steve and the team and myself and just be able to build on See GORDON, Page 3-B BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — J.R. Smith scored 24 points and Chris Paul had nine assists to lead the New Orleans Hornets to a 111-91 preseason victory over Miami on Tuesday night, spoiling the homecoming of Heat center Shaquille O’Neal. Bostjan Nachbar scored 20, Kirk Snyder 19 and Jamaal Magloire 12 for the Hornets. O’Neal, who played three seasons at LSU, returned to play at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center for the first time since leaving college after the 1991-92 season. He finished with 20 points, seven rebounds and a blocked shot. O’Neal received a loud ovation during pregame introductions and on two monstrous dunks in the first half. He left in the third quarter after picking up his fifth foul and then a technical foul for arguing with the officials. Darius Rice added 14 points for the Heat. Doreel Wright added 12 and Antoine Walker scored 11. The Hornets led 37-19 after one quarter and 6650 at halftime. Most of the starters for both teams played the first three quarters. Former LSU star Brandon Bass, a rookie, entered the game in the fourth quarter and had four points, three rebounds and a dunk that brought the crowd to its feet. 2-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 BY THE NUMBERS FOOTBALL National Football League Glance All Times CST AMERICAN CONFERENCE East W L T Pct New England 3 3 0 .500 Buffalo 3 4 0 .429 Miami 2 4 0 .333 N.Y.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Alabama, Florida State to meet in 2007 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama and Florida State signed a one-game deal Tuesday to play at a neutral site in 2007, a high-profile nonconference matchup for two schools that haven’t faced off since the Seminoles rose to prominence under Alabama-native Bobby Bowden. The two teams will play Sept. 29 at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. “It should be a great ball game between the two programs,” said Bowden. “I grew up on Alabama football and have always wanted the chance to play against them. All of my early life was centered around the teams of Frank Thomas and Bear Bryant. I know their history well.” The teams haven’t met since 1974, an 8-7 Alabama win and the Crimson Tide holds a 20-1 edge in the series. “We expect this game to produce a great deal of excitement within our respective fan bases and on a national level as well,” Alabama athletic director Mal Moore said Tuesday. Alabama won 21-0 during the first meeting in 1965, but the Seminoles earned a 37-37 tie in 1967. All three games were at Alabama. Both teams have looked stellar this season, with the Seminoles (6-1) ranked 10th and Alabama (7-0) ranked No. 5. “Alabama looks like the old Alabama to me now,” said Bowden, a Birmingham native. “I hope we haven’t bitten off more than we can chew.” The one-time meeting will be televised by either CBS or ESPN. MSU-Alabama to be televised by CBS STARKVILLE — The Mississippi StateAlabama football game, scheduled for Nov. 5, has been chosen by CBS for a national telecast, the Southeastern Conference announced Tuesday. Kickoff for the SEC Western Division game will be 2:30 p.m. at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field on the MSU campus. It is the Bulldogs’ first CBS game since the 2001 season, and the first televised from Starkville since the national network broadcast MSU games vs. Florida and Auburn in back-toback weeks in 2000. HOCKEY Islanders 4, Thrashers 3 UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Alexei Yashin had two goals and an assist to extend his points streak to seven games in the New York Islanders’ 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Tuesday night. Miroslav Satan and Jason Blake also scored to help New York win for the third time in its last four games. Satan has seven goals this season, five in his last four games. Canadiens 3, Flyers 2, OT MONTREAL — Mike Ribeiro scored his second goal of the game 2:28 into overtime to help Montreal improve to 7-2-0 with its third straight home victory. Canucks 3, Wild 1 ST. PAUL, Minn. — Markus Naslund broke a tie early in the second period with his teamleading seventh goal to help the Vancouver Canucks beat the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory. Panthers 4, Penguins 3, OT PITTSBURGH — Stephen Weiss’ slap shot from the right faceoff dot eluded Pittsburgh goalie Jocelyn Thibault on a power play 53 seconds into overtime and the Florida Panthers ran the Penguins’ season-long winless streak to nine games by winning 4-3 Tuesday night. Wie to play in PGA Tour’s Sony Open HONOLULU (AP) — Michelle Wie will start 2006 much like the past two years — competing against men on her home island. But this time around, she’ll be playing for pay. Wie has received and accepted a sponsor’s exemption to play in January’s Sony Open, the first full-field PGA Tour event of the year, tournament officials said Tuesday. “We’re in the entertainment business, it’s more than just a golf tournament,” PGA Tour vice president Ric Clarson said. “So when a player like Michelle plays in the Sony Open, it creates national and international attention on, ’Can she do it?’ “Now that she has turned professional, there’s even more attention on her progress as a player.” It will be Wie’s third straight Sony Open, where she made her PGA Tour debut in 2004 as a 14-year-old and missed the cut by a stroke. Her 68 in the second round was the lowest score by a female competing against men. She also missed the cut in January at Waialae Country Club. “I think it’s a perfect fit with her roots here in Hawaii and that fact that she has played here in the past,” Clarson said. “It’s almost like watching one of your children grow up.” Wie has been a marketing success story for the Sony Corp. ever since company executives took a gamble and took the unprecedented move of inviting a high school fresh- man to play against the best male golfers in the world. The tournament has since enjoyed record attendance, strong ratings and attracted media from around the world. “Two years ago when we gave an exemption to Michelle Wie, from a Japanese corporate standpoint, she was just a hotshot local kid,” said Masao Morita, Sony’s senior vice president. “We weren’t really sure how good she was,” The company is now one of Wie’s multimillion dollar sponsors. The other is Nike. Sony also announced it was extending its title sponsorship of the Sony Open through 2010. 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 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 3-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Monday nights still big for NFL players, coaches By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press ATLANTA — Despite falling TV ratings and an impending move to cable, there’s still something special about playing on Monday Night Football. It’s the only game in the country after a manic Sunday featuring up to 15 games. Even if the number of viewers has dropped off over the years, players and coaches from the other 30 teams are sure to be tuned in. “I don’t think the players worry too much about the ratings,” said Atlanta Falcons coach Jim Mora, whose team faced the New York Jets in its second Monday night appearance of the season. “They just know that on Monday night all their peers are sitting at home watching them. The bright lights are on and it’s prime-time television. It’s exciting. Monday Night Football is the best, besides playoff football.” Howard Cosell, Dandy Don Meredith and Frank Gifford helped make Monday Night Football a true national phenomenon for ABC during the 1970s. Come Tuesday morning, fans gathered around the water cooler to discuss Cosell’s outrageous candor, Meredith’s sidesplitting humor and seemingly minuscule tidbits such as whether the local team got a prized spot on the halftime highlights, which only featured the best games from the previous day. Coming along in an era when most World Series games were still played during the day, there was something special about a sporting event being shown at night, giving viewers an alternative to traditional prime-time fare such as “Gunsmoke” and “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Of course, Monday Night Football got its start when there were only three networks. No one had heard of cable television or the Internet. As fans got more and more choices, ABC suffered an inevitable decline in its numbers. Plus, the NFL and every other sport began showing more and more games in prime time, taking away the uniqueness of the Monday night game. When the NFL’s new television contract goes into effect next season, ABC will cede Monday Night Football to its cable partner, ESPN. NBC takes over games on Sunday night — which will become the league’s main prime-time package. Sunday Night Football, anyone? Still, those taking part in this final season of Monday Night Football as we’ve come to know it don’t believe the event has lost any luster. “Oh, it’s electric,” Jets coach Herman Edwards said. “It’s the last game (of the week) at night, Monday night, a special game. And they generally pick good teams, teams that are going to be good that year. Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way because of certain things. But there’s a reason that you got chosen to play on Monday night. It has to do with the way you played the year before.” The Falcons have been a rarity on Monday nights, but they got three of the coveted games in 2005 after reaching the NFC championship last season. In a typical bit of NFL scheduling, they got a rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles — the team that beat Atlanta for a spot in the Super Bowl — in the first Monday game of the season. Emotions were clearly running high on that night. A half-hour before kickoff, the teams got in a brawl during pregame warmups, leading to the ejection of Philadelphia’s Bubba Trotter and Atlanta’s Kevin Mathis. “It’s different,” Jets linebacker Eric Barton said. “People can watch it AP Atlanta’s Warrick Dunn out runs New York Jets defenders Mark Brown (55), Bryan Thomas (99) and Jonathan Vilma on a second quarter run Monday in Atlanta. everywhere. You don’t have to have cable — anybody with a TV can watch it. It’s the only game on, and it shows. As a professional football player, you want to be in the spotlight.” Not surprisingly, the game’s best players are usually at their best in the Monday night limelight. They know their Pro Bowl and All-Pro credentials are sure to be enhanced when they have a big game in front of all those potential voters. “This is only my second Monday night game,” Falcons quarterback Michael Vick said. “I’m very excited about it, and we’ve got one more down the road. You just have to cherish every moment and go out there and give the world what they want to see.” Of course, most games are held on Sunday. In the routine-oriented world of the NFL, playing on Monday night throws everything out of whack. A team has an extra day to prepare for its prime-time game, but one less day to get ready for its next contest. That seemingly minor change can make a world of difference for both player and coach. “Monday night is not really a big deal for me,” Jets center Pete Kendall said. “It just shortens the next work week. Earlier in my career, it would’ve been nice. ... Once they kick the ball off, it’s just another game — whether you play it Sunday at 1 p.m. or Monday at 9 p.m.” Gordon From Page 1-B something today meant a lot here,” he said. Gordon beat Stewart by .235 seconds, with Gordon’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson third. Stewart leads Johnson by 15 points for first in the Chase. Gordon didn’t get a chance to help Johnson in his bid for a championship, as all the Hendrick teams have pledged to do. But he did start to build a history with Letarte, who has Gordon’s vote as the replacement for the departed Robbie Loomis. “It’s been a tough year and we certainly could use a win and today was just phenomenal,” Gordon said, patting his 26-yearold crew chief. “That was a great call he made to stay out that one time — that’s really what won us the race today.” The call came when the 13th of a race-record 19 cautions flew on lap 343. Told to stay on the track, Gordon assumed the lead when he and five others didn’t follow the other top contenders onto pit road. Also staying out were the Roush Racing trio of Greg Biffle, Mark Martin and Matt Kenseth. Stewart came off pit road seventh. Stewart had dominated to that point, leading 283 of 343 laps, and easily passed the first six cars and seemed content to wait for Gordon to fade. Gordon was racing on tires more than 50 laps older than Stewart’s. Instead, Gordon expanded his lead. “We were just phenomenal once we got out front,” Gordon said. Gordon had to hold the lead through six more restarts, as well as the sight of Stewart nudging Johnson aside to take second place, but was never threatened. “There was no catching Jeff,” Stewart said. “I don’t know what makes him so fast at the end of the day like that. He was just too strong to keep up with.” Gordon’s 73rd career victory gave him a sweep of the season’s two races on the .526-mile speedway — the oldest, shortest and tightest run in NASCAR’s premier series. As he did in April, Gordon said he was dedicating the Subway 500 win to 10 people killed a year ago when a Hendrickowned plane crashed on the way to the track. The runner-up finish was the second in a row for Stewart here. He led 247 laps in the spring before a tire came off with 70 laps to go. This time, he again dominated until the shadows grew longer, then wasn’t as strong after his last two pit stops. Calling All Educators!!

O. Box 849, Pascagoula, MS 39568 4-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Georgia, Florida meet in annual battle ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — This is something new. Georgia heads into the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” with the makings of a winning streak against Florida. Don’t get too excited, Bulldog fans. The streak, if you can call it that, is currently at one — hardly enough to erase 15 years of nearly annual heartache. “It doesn’t make any difference,” Georgia safety Greg Blue said Tuesday. “People are always going to have that question: Can you beat Florida?” And what would it take to appease the doubters? “We probably need to beat ’em 10 times in a row,” Blue responded. Back-to-back wins would be a good start. Georgia hasn’t done that since the 1980s. “We know they still have the upper hand,” Blue said. “One game didn’t prove we can beat Florida. Consecutive years would really show we can beat them.” The Gators have beaten Georgia 13 of the last 15 seasons, a domi- nating run that coincided with Steve Spurrier’s arrival as Florida coach in 1990. He knocked off Ray Goff ’s teams six years in a row — often by ridiculous margins — and had a 4-1 edge on Jim Donnan before winning his lone meeting against current coach Mark Richt in 2001. Even after Spurrier left for an ill-fated job in the NFL, the Gators kept on winning. Ron Zook beat Georgia his first two years, including a 2002 upset that was the Bulldogs’ only loss and perhaps denied them a chance to play for the national championship. Richt finally picked up his first win over Florida last year, a 31-24 triumph that came just days after the Gators announced that Zook would be let go at the end of the season. Considering the state of the Florida program at the time, Georgia nose guard Ray Gant said the 2004 victory probably should come with an asterisk. “I don’t think anything has really changed,” he said. “Last year, they had just fired their coach. They probably felt like they had nothing to play for. They were in a slump. I’m sure they’ll come out and play a much better game with a lot more energy.” In fact, the No. 16 Gators (5-2) opened as a solid 5 1/2-point favorite for Saturday’s game at Jacksonville, Fla., even though Georgia has a higher ranking, a better record and a lot more on the line. The No. 4 Bulldogs (7-0) can clinch a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game with a victory, and they must win to further their hopes of playing for a national title. But the oddsmakers know that Georgia will be without quarterback D.J. Shockley, the top-rated passer in the Southeastern Conference. He can’t play after spraining a knee ligament in last week’s victory over Arkansas. Junior Joe Tereshinski will make his first career start. He’s thrown a grand total of 23 passes since arriving at Georgia, spending most of his time on special teams. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 Homestead track ecapes brunt of Wilma By JEFF PRICE The Associated Press HOMESTEAD, Fla. — HomesteadMiami Speedway sustained some damage from the strong winds of Hurricane Wilma, but next month’s season-ending NASCAR race will go on as scheduled, the track president said Tuesday. High winds blew parts of pit row’s garage suites across the track and into the grandstand, damaging the seating area, debris fences and some of the track’s new $8.5 million lighting system for night racing. There was no structural damage to the racing surface, site of the Nextel Cup series’ Ford 400 on Nov. 20. Speedway president Curtis Gray said he was still waiting for a damage estimate. “We’re scrambling a little bit, but all the rest is under way,” Gray said. “We expect to be ready to go in three weeks.” The garage suites, canvas coverings that sit atop the garages, were both a victim and a culprit of the damage. Gray rode out the storm and witnessed the entire quarter-mile long row of suites get picked up and blown away by the wind. “I was here when it hit, so about 6 in the morning, I hear something almost like an explosion,” Gray said. “I looked out and I saw the canvas and it was just mind-boggling, how part of that could be on the back part of the grandstand.” Twelve new light poles lining pit row were taken out by the storm, and debris also damaged one of the tracks new light towers. Some of the grandstand will have to be replaced, Gray said. Also damaged were the debris fences lining the grandstand area, but the storm spared the track’s new tower in turn one, which is still under construction. All of the track’s stationary buildings withstood the winds. Operation teams from Daytona International Speedway, which escaped damage from Wilma, and Talladega Superspeedway were expected to arrive late Tuesday to help with repairs, Gray said. “That makes it good to have those resources, because most of South Florida was hit by this storm and we don’t have long (to make repairs),” Gray said.

Because everyone experiences stress differently, don’t compare yourself with others around you or judge other people’s reactions and emotions. Here are some tips for coping with stress. • Talk about it. By talking with others about the event, you can relieve stress and realize that others share your experiences and feelings. • Spend time with friends and family. They can help you through this tough time. If your family lives outside the area, stay in touch phone if possible. If you have children, encourage them to share their feelings and concerns with you. • Take care of yourself. Get as much rest and exercise as possible. Try to continue your religious practices, or centering activities. • Take one thing at a time. Getting things back to normal can seem impossible. Break the job up into doable tasks. Complete that task first and then move on to the next one. Completing each task will give you a sense of accomplishment. • If you can, help. Give blood; help prepare meals for others including the elderly. Volunteer to help clean up or rebuild your community. Read to children in the shelter. • Avoid drugs and excessive drinking. Drugs and alcohol may seem to help you feel better, but in the long run they generally create additional problems that compound the stress you’re already feeling. • Ask for help if you need it. If your stress is so strong it gets in the way of your daily life, talk with someone. You can start with a trusted friend, relative, or minister. You may want to talk with a mental health professional to discuss how well you are coping with recent events. This could especially important for people who had existing mental health problems.

It was the first time we’d met him, although they have been going out for about six months. They attend colleges a good distance apart, and see each other about once a month but talk daily. As the dinner conversation progressed, I asked Justin what his major was Dear and what Abby he plans to do after college. He said he wants to be in the film industry. I asked what he planned to do if it didn’t work out. He responded, “Go into the family business.” I asked what business Justin’s family was in. He responded that his family didn’t have a business, that he had meant our family business. Then he said, by the way, he would change how we were running it to produce more cash by slowing down our expansion plans. I was speechless. My daughter told us later that she and Justin had never discussed it before. My wife and I are in our 40s. We don’t plan on retiring soon, or letting any of our own kids take over running the business. My wife says we should drop it. I think we should make it clear to Justin that our family business should not be his backup plan. If he did marry our daughter and wanted to come to work for the family business, he might be welcome. However, he certainly would not have the control he thinks he would. What are your thoughts on this matter, Abby? — Not Ready to Retire in N.Y. Dear Not Ready to Retire: I’ll say this for Justin, he has youth and enthusiasm going for him; he speaks his mind and his contingency plan shows he has an eye to the future. Your wife is telling you to let it drop in the hope that the romance will go nowhere. However, on the chance that it will go forward, you’d be doing the young man a favor to bring him back to planet Earth regarding your business. P.S. If I were you, I’d think long and hard before deciding to welcome him into it. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Are eggs in your fridge fresh or not-so-fresh? Dear Heloise: You made me giggle when I saw you on “Late Show With David Letterman.” I did get your hint about the veggies/nylons, but for the life of me, I had no idea what your hints were with the eggs! Thanks for the muchneeded comic relief. — Karen Peterson, via e-mail Thanks, By Heloise Karen — I got the giggles myself! It wasn’t easy trying to share all of the information with David Letterman making his funny comments. However, the egg hints I gave were how to tell a fresh egg from a not-so-fresh one. Here’s the hint: An older egg has a larger air pocket inside the shell, so it floats in water. A fresh egg will sink. The egg that floated was from a carton of eggs that one of David Letterman’s staff members had in his fridge, and the “sell by” date was Jan. 10. The sell-by date appears on every egg carton. The American Egg Board states that properly stored eggs can be eaten four to five weeks after the sell-by date and be OK. Recently, my husband was making pancakes and noticed that the sell-by date printed on the end of the egg carton was “Oct. 03.” He showed it to me and couldn’t believe we had 2-year-old eggs in our fridge! Well, upon further investigation, we determined that the “03” meant the day, not the year. We took a poll at Heloise Central. Some thought it meant the day, and some thought it meant the year. By the way, the pancakes were great! — Heloise Former teacher’s favorite learning lesson from affair Dear Annie: People often say that one should never get involved in an office romance, but it’s too late for me. I am a 23-year-old woman who got involved with my much-older boss, a professor whom I was assisting while working on my graduate degree. In an academic setting this is frowned upon, so we kept it secret for over a year. The problem, however, is that it Annie’s was incredibly Mailbox difficult for me when the relationship came to an end. I stopped working for this man, but now find myself adrift both emotionally and professionally in the department. And I never anticipated the professional retribution from him and from my peers. I have lost more than I can describe. No one ever talks about student-teacher relationships, but they happen all the time. I can handle the heartache, but how do I handle the professional fallout? — Former Teacher’s Pet Dear Former Pet: While we cannot condone your behavior, the truth is, your professor is the one at fault. He abused his authority by taking advantage of his position over you, and he should have known better than to get involved with a student. Inform this professor that he will immediately stop penalizing you for the affair or you will report him to the head of the department or the dean of the school.

It happened to me and I feel awful even though EMS said I did everything correctly. Do others feel the same? I am a nurse and this was not in a hospital setting. Dear Reader: Medical personnel invariably feel traumatized when their efforts at cardio-pulmonary resuscitation fail. However, it is important to realize that in such a critical situation, there is never a guarantee of success. You did what you were trained to do, to the best of your ability, in difficult circumstances. Don’t beat yourself up. Dear Dr. Gott: I am 80 years old and read your column in my newspaper daily. I tried putting soap under the bottom sheet for cramps. It helps (most of the time). I get cramps during the day in my feet. And I got the idea to rub on liquid soap. Peter It works every time! Gott, M.D. The cramp stops almost at once. Thought you might like to know. Dear Reader: Here is yet another variation of the soap-under-the-sheet remedy for leg cramps that I had not heard before, so — once again — I am turning to my readers for their experiences, both pro and con. Let me hear from you, readers, about liquid soap and daytime cramps. Dear Dr. Gott: I read your article about castor oil to ease arthritic problems, and I laughed. So I thought why not try it, it can do no harm. My skin is dry anyway, I’m pretty old. I’m 93 years old, so I did. I’m doing much better; no pain, no cane and now I’m not walking like a duck any more. I’ll keep using it every day, it sure helps, and I’ll be sending this idea to my sister in Montreal. She has the same problem. Dear Reader: I am delighted to learn of your success. Thanks for writing. If you open on a 10, what about the nine? Start by looking at the North and South hands. In which contract would you like to play? Next, study that East hand. After a pass on your right, what would you do? This deal was played 32 times on the e-bridge network. At 24 of the tables, South ended in three spades after this uncontested sequence: pass - one diamond - one no-trump - two spades - three diamonds three spades - pass. North passed a forcing bid, despite having 10 points and six cards in his partner’s long suits. Six diamonds is a good contract. If trumps are 2-2, you are home. If the dia- mond queen is singleton, you’ll be all right if you do not have a spade loser. With the actual layout, on Philip a nonAlder heart lead, South draws two rounds of trumps, receiving the bad news, then plays on spades, discarding two hearts from the dummy and eventually ruffing his heart seven on the board. On a heart lead, though, the contract must fail. The winning spot is six diamonds by North, which cannot be beaten. At one table, East opened one heart in the second position. Yesterday, I gave a deal with a 10-point one-level opening bid; now nine. (Any takers for eight?) But this worked beautifully because when South pulled up in six diamonds, West led the heart four to defeat the contract. (Declarer played low from the dummy at trick one, but East correctly inserted the eight. South won, drew two rounds of trumps, and started on the spades, but West ruffed the fourth round and led another heart to his partner’s king.) ©NEA 7-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2005 CLASSIFIED P www.gulflive.com THE MISSISSIPPI SUPER DEAL ADS 762-CRAB 3 Lines / 7 Days $ 6 $1.00 each additional line No animals, plants, produce or commercial ads.
