slab that was once her house
on Inverness Drive that over
looked the Belle Fontaine area
and the Mississippi Sound
beyond.
“We were gone (when Hurricane Katrina hit Jackson
County),” she said. “We have
three grandsons — triplets —
and were visiting them.
“Our neighbors stayed in
their house,” she said, pointing to a nearby concrete slab.
“They were filming pictures of
the storm when it happened.
They said they saw our cars
floating away. They tried to get
their car out, but the water was
too high and they ended up
wading to that house (pointing
north). They survived.”
It was one and a half weeks
before Ashbaker and her husband returned to the remains
of their house in St. Andrews.
She said her son-in-law went to
check the house soon after the
storm and told them what had
happened.
She said their insurance
adjuster has been to the house
and told them that their homeowners policy would not cover
the damage, which he said was
caused by a flood.
“We have flood insurance,”
she said. “But I don’t think it
PASCAGOULA — It’s a
sign of the times, the proliferation of blue roofs suddenly blanketing Jackson County homes that were stripped
of their tops by Hurricane
Katrina.
Some of the roofs were installed by homeowners out of
in fear of future rains, some
by neighbors hoping to protect a friend’s house. Many,
however, have been installed
by contractors working for
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under an aptly-named
program called “Project Blue
Roof.”
In the wake of Hurricane
Katrina, Operation Blue Roof
has become a priority mission managed by the Corps
for the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
The program provides
assistance to storm victims
in disaster areas by
installing of rolled plastic
sheeting on damaged roofs,
helping to protect property
and allowing residents to
remain in their homes.
In the few weeks since
Katrina, Operation Blue Roof
has become a popular service
in Jackson County, with
3,773 people filing requests
for the plastic covers. A total
of 1,179 have been installed
by the 200 roofing crews
hired by the Corps.

Blue roofs now protect an apartment complex damaged on Aug. 29 by Hurricane Katrina.
“To qualify for a blue roof,
the damage must be less
than 50 percent of the value
of roof,” Corps spokesman
Gregory Fuderer said. “If all
that is showing on the roof is
the frame, there is nothing to
nail the plastic to. There has
to be some boards on the
roof.”
The program is free to the
public, Fuderer said, adding,
“if someone comes to you and
says he’s from the Corps of
Engineers and want to put
on a blue roof for a price, he’s
not with us. There is no
charge for our program.
“There’s one way to tell a
Corps roof,” he said. “You’ll
see strips of wood nailed
down on the plastic that is
installed.”
Getting a blue roof, Fuderer said, involves going to one
of the four FEMA disaster
recovery centers stopping at
the Corps blue roof booth
and filling out a request
form. The centers are located
in Ocean Springs at the
America’s Thrift Shop build-

People registering for a
blue roof must sign a right of
entry for the roofing crew to
come on their property. The
property owner receives a
copy of the right of entry,
which must be displayed in a
spot that can be seen from
the street.
“We can’t put a blue roof on
until FEMA requests it,” he
said.
Although he hasn’t had to
test it yet, David Peeples of
Gautier said he’s happy
about the Corps’ project.
“I very appreciative of it,”
he said. “The crew came over

glad to see it up there.”

COPING WITH DISASTER
Mental health professionals say trauma could last months
By ALLISON MATHER
Carisa Anderson/The Mississippi Press
Even as yards are cleared, roofs
are rebuilt and businesses begin to
open, the emotional scars of Hurricane Katrina may take longer to
heal for many Coast residents.
Eric Dahlen, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Southern Mississippi
and director of the Community
Counseling and Assessment Clinic, said the storm’s emotional
aftermath can be described as a
combination of post-traumatic
stress disorder and grief.

Psychology Today magazine defines post-traumatic stress disorder as “an anxiety disorder that
can develop after exposure to a
terrifying event or ordeal in which
grave physical harm occurred or
was threatened,” on their Web site
cms.psychologytoday.com.
Grief is a normal reaction to
loss, and, the Web site continues, a
wide range of reactions may follow, including denial, bargaining,
anger, despair and acceptance.
Though Katrina hit nearly a
month ago, Dahlen said the psychological effects of the storm will

Rita spares Mississippi Coast
BAY ST. LOUIS (AP) — Flooding was
reported in low areas of Hancock County
but Hurricane Rita spared most of the
heavily damaged Mississippi Gulf Coast
more misery, officials said Saturday.
In Hancock County, where a voluntary
evacuation order was issued Friday, officials said search teams had been dispatched to flooded areas but there were no
reports of injuries or major problems. Most
of the flooding,
which began
Friday,
occurred in low
areas that normally flood
during periods of high water or heavy rain.
At least one medical-relief center for victims of Hurricane Katrina reopened in the
county on Saturday.
Rita made landfall early Saturday as a
Category 3 storm just east of Sabine Pass,
on the Texas-Louisiana line, bringing top
winds of 120 mph and warnings of flooding
rains.
Though winds continued to buffet Gulfport on Saturday afternoon, Harrison
County Emergency Management Agency
Director Joe Spraggins said the only damage reported was to trees and roofs already
weakened by Katrina on Aug. 29.
“It wasn’t nothing that we didn’t expect,
with 30 to 45 mph winds,” he said.
Nor was flooding as bad as some had

Amy Carruth of the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said there were
no immediate reports of significant Ritarelated damage from other parts of south
Mississippi.
However, much of the state remained
under a tornado watch until Saturday
night. A number of tornado warnings were
issued during the day Saturday.
Paul Reese, a spokesman for the Hancock County Emergency Operations Center, said a Bay St. Louis radio station lost

in the slip, then disappear, swept
away by the current.
“My greatest concern,” he said,
“was that one of us would fall into
the water below. I knew if that happened everyone else would jump in
to try to rescue that person and we
would probably all be drowned.”
At 6 p.m. neighbors made their
way through the receding floodwaters and helped the family out of the
tree. In all, The Stephens spent

DHS to distribute food stamps
■ ‘Open to people who
ordinarily would never
receive food stamps’
From Staff Reports
GAUTIER — The Jackson
County office of the Mississippi
Department of Human Services
will be distributing disaster
assistance food stamps Tuesday
to county residents affected
Hurricane Katrina.
“This program is open only to
people who ordinarily would
never receive food stamps,” said
Harold Netto, Jackson County
DHS director. “The participants
in the food stamp program have
already been taken care of.”
He said people can come
apply for the emergency program from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at
St. Martin Community Center
on LeMoyne Boulevard, Singing
River Mall on U.S. 90 in Gautier or the East Jackson County
Meeting Building in Moss Point.
Eligible applicants will
receive a debit-type card that
can be used at area stores to
buy food.
Program applicants will meet
with a DHS representative, who
will take information on the
household, including the
address, the number and birthday of each individual living in
the home. The applicant must
bring a picture ID and their
Social Security number and the
estimated value of the property
lost during the storm.
“All of the information will be
put into computer to register
the applicant and to make sure
that we do not have anyone try-
ing to receive double benefits,”
Netto said.
After the registration is completed, the applicant receives a
yellow EBT card and an 800
number to call to determine the
amount of benefits they will
receive. The benefit limit, Netto
said, will be based on household
size.
“The card works like an debit
or credit card,” he said. “When a
person makes a purchase, they
will swipe the card, just like
they would do if they bought
food with an debit card.”

David Stephens of St, Martin, along with his family and pet pooch
Gertrude watched from a tree as their home and possessions were
swept away by Hurricane Katrina. “This was all just stuff,”
Stephens said. “It can be replaced. We are all alive. That’s what is
important.”
“Overnight my daughter and sonin-law were out of jobs because their
employers’ businesses were washed
away,” Stephens said. “We tapped
into our savings and bought a Bobcat
skid loader and a trailer on which to
haul it. I am now unretired and we
have gone into the debris clean-up
business.”
Like many, Stephens is waiting for
his insurance company before determining how to rebuild. But he will
remain on the Gulf Coast.
“We are not leaving. This is our
home. We want to help clean up the
mess and help people get back to
normal. We know through our work
at the mission that there will still be
a tremendous amount of work to do
after FEMA and the other relief
agencies go away,” he said.
Tears come to the pale blue eyes of
his patrician face as he looks out
over the pile of rubble that was his
home. “This was all just stuff. It can
be replaced. We are all alive. That’s
what is important.”

HOOKING UP HOPE

Lineman’s story packs a jolt of powerful kindness
By ROYCE ARMSTRONG
states. He works from work
order to work order, rushing
from one call to the next.
Often, he is stopped along the
street.
On a recent call to a condominium complex where he is
to make temporary hookups of
heavy cable to meter bases, he
said, a woman spotted the
truck and flagged him down.
She told him she put in a
request for temporary power a
week ago and wondered when
someone will be along to hook
it up. The bottom portion of
her house had the siding
ripped off. The studs are
exposed and the interior is
filled with rubble. She is seeking power, Foreman
explained, three weeks after
the storm for a camper in the
backyard. He said tears filled
her eyes as he told her he will
be back as quickly as he can.
ST. MARTIN — The radio
in the tan Singing River Electric Power Association truck
cackles with the location of
reported noise, smoke and
sparks from electrical wires.
Glenn Foreman keys the
mike, confirms the location
and slips the truck into gear,
on his way to another of
dozens of similar responses he
will make on this day.
Foreman is an electrical
lineman with 25 years of experience, all in or near his home
area of Ocean Springs, St.
Martin and Biloxi. Since Hurricane Katrina smashed into
the Coast he has been working
12 to 18 hour days, six and
seven days each week, repairing lines and restoring power.
The task he faces each day is
monumental.
Foreman and his wife, Raye,
live in the Puerto Bay subdivision of St. Martin. They have
two sons; Derek, 21 and
Chase, 15. Foreman’s parents
live a couple of blocks down
the street, just a few hundred
feet from the edge of Back
Bay, an expanse of water separating the housing area from
the city of Biloxi.
Foreman has lived in this
area all his life, he said. He
has fished the waters and
spent countless hours on the
shrimp boat, Lucy, his grandfather had built in 1954. He
remembers Hurricane
Camille, which struck this
Coast in 1969. He was 9 years
old and thought it was great
fun playing in the rubble.
As Hurricane Katrina
approached, Foreman said the
family decided to ride out the
storm in their home. The tidy
frame and brick house was
nestled snugly between two
similar houses, 21 feet above
sea level, and seemed secure.
His father was in Asia and his
mother sought refuge in a
hotel near Interstate 10.
Everyone was braced for the
storm. He thought.
When flood waters began
creeping up the street toward
the small knoll where his and
neighboring houses stand,
Foreman realized this storm
was going to be worse than
the stories the old-timers tell
of Hurricane Camille and the
depth of that storm surge. He
knew a number of his neighbors had decided to ride out
the storm in their homes.
Most of those homes were
closer to the water than his.
He and his sons began wading
out to neighboring houses

Glenn Foreman responds to one of the dozens of repair
emergencies he faces each day as he tries to restore
power to friends and neighbors along his beloved Gulf
Coast.
offering refuge in their home.
Eight neighbors rode out the
storm with Foreman and his
family. When the flood waters
began pouring into his house
the group moved to the second
story of the house. Four and a
half feet of water stood in the
house during the peak of the
storm surge, destroying furniture, appliances, heirlooms
and memorabilia.
He said he could not believe
the devastation. His house
and two others were the last
ones standing on Riviera
Street. Everything south of
that was gone, including his
parents’ home. His grandfather's shrimp boat, which had
been moored in a slip behind
his parents’ house, was in the
middle of the street near his
home. It is likely damaged
beyond repair, he feels.
During the next few hours
Foreman, his sons, a nephew
Austin Taylor, D. D. S., P. A.
Susan Shoults, D. D. S.
“I do this job to help,” Foreman said. “There is still no
way to give power to some
people. The system is so broke
that you cannot fix it. The salt
water has contaminated every
connection and insulator.
They say it will take months
to clean up this mess and get
things back to what they
were. They are wrong. It will
take years. I am doing everything I can to help get temporary power to people. It gives
them hope. They see the truck
and they see others getting
power, one by one, and it gives
them something to hang on
to.”
In the meantime, Foreman
still has two other families living in his home.
“We are sleeping on air mattresses and we have no furniture,” he said. “As quickly as
we can get power to their lots,
they can move in FEMA trailers.”
Then, Foreman added “I can
begin knocking out the interior walls of my house and start
rebuilding.”
“This is my town. This is
where I was born and raised.
This is home. It will take more
than a hurricane to drive me
away. I am proud to be part of
rebuilding it.”
Rebuilding his own home is
another matter.
“I did not have flood insurance,” Foreman said. “We
were not in a flood zone. To
repair the house I am going to
have to take out a low interest
loan and refinance. I was
going to retire next year. Not
now.”

Many fear rebuilding could ruin charm, diversity of coastline
ance coverage.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency also has to
reset flood lines, and local governments could set stricter
building codes in areas that
were previously thought to be
safe from flooding.
“We’re talking probably two
to three years before we’ve even
got a handle on the situation,”
said homebuilder Duncan Noble
Jr. of Gautier.
It’s clear most of the casinos
will rebuild. They’re crucial to
the state’s economy, employing
14,000 and generating $73 million this past year for state coffers.
There’s still a question
though, of whether they’ll be
allowed to build on land. State
law requires casinos be built
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
JACKSON — As Mississippi
recovers from Hurricane Katrina’s destruction, many fear the
development to come could erase
the charm and diversity of the
state’s eclectic Gulf Coast communities.
The 80-mile coastline has
been the home of fishing hamlets, seaside arts communities
and, for the past 13 years, neonlit casinos. Now, with about twothirds of the homes in the state’s
southern counties destroyed or
severely damaged, residents and
officials hope the new landscape
that emerges from the rubble
won’t be dominated by high-rise
condos and tacky strip malls.
Even before Katrina, proposed
condo developments prompted
heated debate among locals who
worried concrete towers would
block beach views.
“I hope we can preserve the
historical ambiance that the
beach in Mississippi has possessed over the years and not
let it look like every other coastline in America,” said former
Gov. William Winter, longtime
president of the state’s archives
and history board.
The scope of Katrina’s
destruction puts the Mississippi
coast in an unusual position,
said Robert Deyle, an urban and
regional planning professor at
Florida State University. Entire
neighborhoods were flattened
for a quarter-mile or more back
from the beach.
“In most disasters, structures
that have been destroyed are
interspersed with structures
that are still standing,” Deyle
said.
Though much of the coastline
is still strewn shoulder-high
with lumber and twisted metal, Deyle said cities soon will
have a “clean slate” for rebuilding — and wealthy developers,
from casino companies to condo builders, could buy land from
homeowners who don’t want to
rebuild.
Katrina was indiscriminate
in its destruction, obliterating
or damaging trailers, middleclass brick houses, tin-roofed
fishermen’s cottages, Sen. Trent
Lott’s beachside home, concrete
condominiums, century-old
shore mansions, vacation bungalows and businesses large and
small.
Charles L. Sullivan, who has
written histories of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and of hurricanes, said Katrina wiped away
much of the region’s architectural character.
“Whatever it will be, it won’t
be what it was,” Sullivan said.
“As far as I know, Beauvoir is
the only antebellum structure
still standing between New
Orleans and Mobile.”
And even Beauvoir, the Biloxi
beach-front home of Confederate
president Jefferson Davis, was
severely battered by Katrina.
Much of the raised cottage
“looks like it’s been butchered,”
Sullivan said. “It just looks like
it’s been blown to pieces.”
Mississippi’s coastline has 26
miles of manmade white sand
beach in Harrison County, the
center and most populous of the
state’s three coastal counties.
The county is also home to the
bustling state port in Gulfport,
shrimp industry in Biloxi and

Orleans and Mobile.
13 casinos, including one that
was set to open this month.
Historic homes, the Gulf
Island National Seashore and
fishing charter boats also drew
visitors to an area whose economy has long been fueled by
tourist dollars. In Biloxi, construction was about halfway
complete on a $30 million art
museum designed by famed
architect Frank Gehry. A casino
barge smashed onto the beachside site, crushing some of the
centuries-old live oak trees
Gehry had incorporated into the
design and likely delaying the
museum’s scheduled 2006 opening date.
Gov. Haley Barbour has
appointed a commission, headed
by former Netscape CEO Jim
Barksdale of Jackson, to shape
the Coast redevelopment discussion. Barbour and President
Bush attended the commission’s
first meeting Tuesday in an airconditioned tent set up outside a
hurricane-damaged outlet shopping center in Gulfport.
“There is no doubt in my mind
that out of the rubble and out of
the huge heaps of timber that
used to be homes, a better Mississippi will emerge,” Bush told
local government and business
leaders.
The Florida Homebuilders
Association is also lending its
advice. It held a two-day seminar in Jackson this past week to
share what the building industry has learned in the aftermath
of scores of hurricanes, including
four that hit Florida last year.
Early estimates show that
about one of every three homes,
apartments and condo units in
Mississippi’s six southernmost
counties were destroyed by the
Aug. 29 hurricane. Another
third were severely damaged
and some may be demolished
because of mold and other damage.
Construction company executives say serious efforts to start
rebuilding homes and smaller
businesses could be weeks or
even months away, partly
because of disputes over insur-

only over navigable waters of
the Mississippi River or the Gulf
of Mexico. The Legislature is
holding a special session this
coming week to see if that law
should be changed, given that
the casino barges were tossed
around like toy boats and some
smashed on shore.
“If they decide to allow the
casinos on land, which from a
public safety standpoint would
make more sense, then instead
of having beautiful mansions
looking out at floating casinos,
you’ll just have casinos,” said
Deyle, the urban planning professor.
Government officials also
want large employers back on
their feet soon to prevent the
work force from scattering.
South Mississippi is home to a
sprawling NASA center that
tests space-shuttle engines and
the state’s largest private
employer, Northrop Grumman
Ship Systems, where about
12,000 welders, pipe fitters and
electricians make Navy ships.
While big industry has the
wherewithal to go on — the
shipyard had nearly restored
full operations last week —
some smaller businesses are not
so sure.
Gerald Fayard had hoped to
sell his business and retire soon
until Katrina changed his plans.
The storm turned his 5,000square-foot Gulfport mill, which
manufactures specialty woodwork and trim, into a heap of
rubble.
“You’ve got to run or rebuild,”
he said as friends helped him
clear debris. “You can’t just sit

reported death was in Mississippi, where one person was
killed by a tornado that spun
off the remains of the hurricane.
“The damage is not as serious as we had expected it to
be,” said R. David Paulison, acting director of the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency. “The evacuations
worked.”
Damage to the vital concentration of oil refineries along
the coast appeared relatively
light, although industry officials said it was too early to
assess whether there would be
an impact on oil prices. Valero
Energy Corp. said its 255,000barrel-per-day Port Arthur
refinery sustained significant
damage to two cooling towers
and a flare stack and would
need at least two weeks for
repairs.
Late Saturday, two environmental cleanup workers spread
booms and oil absorbent pads
along a perimeter fence at the
refinery. Knee-deep floodwaters
were stained with dark brown
crude oil, and the odor of petroleum hung thick in the air.
Rita roared ashore at 2:30
a.m. CDT close to the TexasLouisiana border as a Category
3 hurricane with top winds of
120 mph and warnings of up
to 25 inches of rain. By midafternoon, it was downgraded
to a tropical storm with top sustained winds of 50 mph as it
moved slowly through east
Texas toward Shreveport, La.
Before it weakened, Rita
showed its strength across a
broad region between Houston
and New Orleans.
In Beaumont, trees of all
sizes and power lines were
down, street signs were shredded, and one brick wall of an
office building had collapsed.
Said Dr. Gaylon Gonzalez, a
surgeon who spent the night
at Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth as Rita arrived: “It sounded like a power washer hitting
the windows.”
Perry surveyed Beaumont by
air Saturday. “Considering it
was a Category 5 storm 48
hours ago, I think we’re probably pretty fortunate,” he said.
The Texas Department of
Transportation dispatched a
30-vehicle convoy from Beaumont to clear a debris-covered
highway to the north toward
Lufkin. Department spokesman Mike Cox said some of the
vehicles would detour into the
small town of Fred to check out
reports that a nursing home
still occupied by scores of
patients had lost power.
Some of the worst flooding
occurred along the Louisiana
Coast, where transformers
exploded, roofs were torn off
and trees uprooted by winds
topping 100 mph. Floodwaters
were nine feet deep near town
of Abbeville; farther west in
Cameron Parish, sheriff ’s
deputies watched appliances
and what appeared to be parts
of homes swirling in the waters
of the Intracoastal Waterway.
The region was largely evacuated ahead of Rita, but some
residents stayed behind and
were rescued by helicopter.
Among them were a pregnant
woman and her 4-year-old son
stranded in Port Lafourche, a
Gulf Coast outpost about 60
miles south of New Orleans.
“Most of the town was already under water from Katrina,” said Coast Guard Lt.
Roberto Torres, the pilot who
airlifted the woman out. “And
what wasn’t got flooded by
Rita.”
About 500 people were rescued from high waters south of
New Orleans, some by helicopters. Another 15 to 25 people
were reported stranded farther
west along the shoreline of Vermilion Parish, but searches
were postponed until Sunday
because of high winds.
Elsewhere, a portion of Interstate 10 over the Calcasieu Riv-
er in Lake Charles was closed
after barges broke loose from
their moorings and slammed
into the bridge.
New Orleans, devastated by
Katrina barely three weeks
ago, endured a second straight
day of new flooding that could
seriously disrupt recovery
plans. The Army Corps of Engineers said it would need at
least two weeks to pump water
from the most heavily flooded
neighborhoods — notably the
impoverished Lower Ninth
Ward — after crews plug a
series of levee breaches.
Some New Orleans residents
who had evacuated to Houston
because of Katrina were forced
to move again as Rita approached.
“We’re tired of being pushed
from place to place,” said Cora
Washington, 59, as she and her
family sat on cots in Texas
A&M University’s basketball
arena in College Station. “We
want to try to go back to New
Orleans and pick up the
pieces.”

Our Opinion
A word on the
special session
Rebuilding the Gulf Coast — not reconstructing the
casino industry on land — should be the only priority of
the upcoming special session. Period.
And it’s not just for the obvious reason that people from
Kenneth Street to Beach Boulevard and streets all over
Pascagoula — and cities and towns across the Coast —
are hurting. Though that is reason enough.
The people of the Gulf Coast, indeed across the whole
of Mississippi have gone, and are still going, through an
unimaginable hell on earth.
For many, their possessions, even their neighborhoods,
churches, schools and towns are gone. For more than 200
families who have lost loved ones, they have suffered a
grief without measure.
And two human beings — known only as Jane Doe and
John Doe — have yet to be identified.
Somewhere their families are left only to wonder where
their beloved may be.
Every member of the Legislature, indeed Gov. Barbour
and Lt. Gov. Tuck, should take another hard, long look at
photographs of Katrina’s wrath. In their minds, they
should weigh the images they surely will never forget,
and remember the hurting voices as this session begins.
While Hurricane Katrina may have lightened the wallets of casino bosses in Atlantic City and Vegas, it crushed
the hearts of every working Mississippian — rich and
poor, black and white, young and old.
Those Mississippians, all with crushed hearts and tearstreaked faces, are the people the Legislature represents.
By all that is decent, this should be an easy special session. But if land-based casinos make it to the agenda, it
will be a war. The well-funded, well-organized American
Family Association will pony up with Mississippi Southern Baptists and other groups, and there will be a battle
— a bloody battle.
Land-based casinos are a discussion for another time.
Now is not that time.
In this season of aching despair, Mississippians are in
no mood for a fight. With weary eyes, they look to their
leaders for comfort, not chaos, compassion and not crass
partisan confrontation.
Now, is the time not to be Republicans or Democrats,
but Mississippians first.
Other Opinion
Time for green
eyeshades
Even as Congress struggled to find ways to pay for
relief and reconstruction after Katrina, Hurricane Rita
was handing the lawmakers another huge bill for damage.
Immediately after Katrina, Congress quickly — and
with few controls — passed a $62 billion down payment
to begin shoveling out the stricken Gulf Coast and caring
for its residents.
The early estimates of Katrina’s costs were in the
range of $150 billion to $200 billion, but this week
Louisiana’s congressional delegation proposed a $250 billion recovery package for that state alone. Surely, the
Mississippi, Alabama and Texas delegations will shortly
be around with their own recovery plans.
Whatever the cost of Katrina, Rita and, if hurricane
forecasters are right, storms still to come this year, the
country will pay it. But, that said, the taxpayers deserve
every assurance that the money is well spent. The 9/11
experience doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in that
regard.
The Department of Homeland Security this week
appointed the chief financial officer of the National
Weather Service to oversee, according to its announcement, “the management and expenditures of all contracts, grants and governmental operations related to
Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.”
Refreshingly, considering the scandalous lack of qualifications of FEMA’s now-resigned director, Matthew Jadacki has impressive qualifications — a 24-year career in
auditing government operations, including 14 years at
FEMA.
But the job of mopping up seems to be getting larger
even as this is written and will involve many more federal agencies than just Homeland Security. It is no reflection on Jadacki to say that the situation requires more
auditing firepower.
Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Joseph Lieberman,
D-Conn., the chair and ranking Democrat, respectively, of
the Senate Homeland Security Committee, have proposed a special inspector general to audit the hundreds of
billions that will be spent on relief and reconstruction
efforts.
This position makes a great deal of sense, assuming
Congress gives the special inspector general the necessary authority and manpower. Further, this official could
coordinate the auditing efforts of the existing Cabinet
department inspectors general and even Congress’ own
auditors. The post need not be permanent.
Periodic and public reports on the efficiency and honesty of relief and reconstruction will provide welcome and
necessary assurance to the American people that their
generosity is not being wasted.

staff members as they discuss the newspaper’s closing. The Birmingham Post-Herald is folding after a 55-year run. The newspaper is owned

Birmingham market will no longer support an afternoon newspaper.
Goodbye to a
dear old friend
You hear people say it about friends
or family members who pass away
after being ill for a long time: “I know
it’s been coming on for some time now,
but it still hurts.”
On top of the melancholy and the
drama of the past couple of weeks,
today I’m a little sadder over the loss of
a friend and a mentor, the Birmingham
Post-Herald.
The demise of this
scrappy almost-daily paper was not
unexpected — it was
not unexpected five
years ago when I
left — but it’s still
sad for everyone
Steve
who ever worked
there and for the
Joynt
people of Birmingham.
I got my first real job in this business
at the Post-Herald. It was the summer
of 1985; I was out of grad school and
had just gotten married. When I got
back from my honeymoon to my hometown of Richmond, Va., my mom told
me I had two messages, one from the
Post-Herald and one from the Montgomery Advertiser.
“Well,” I told my new bride, “it looks
like we’re going to Alabama. Now I just
have to figure out which city.”
I interviewed at both papers, and
both offered me a job, but I chose the
Post-Herald probably before I even
drove down to Montgomery.
The P-H put me on the crime and
disaster beat almost right away, and
Ithrived on it.
Early on, after I had written my fifth
robbery roundup in five days, the
metro editor at that time, a great guy
named Bill Gerdes, came to me and
said, “Stop! No more robbery
roundups.”
Then he explained the Post-Herald
mission to me.
“Look,” he said, “you don’t have to
write about every crime committed in
the city. This is not the paper of record;
those guys are,” and he jerked his head
toward the other side of the building
where the reporters and editors of The
Birmingham News worked.
“What we do,” he said, “is pick the
best stories and do them better.”
Make no mistake; despite the fact
that both papers worked in the same
building and shared the same printing
press, the News and the P-H were competitors. Nothing thrilled me more than
to be told that a reporter at the News
was called up by an editor in the middle
of the night and ordered to catch up on
a story that I just broke.
At the Post-Herald, it was guerrilla
journalism. We were a small, rag-tag
bunch compared to the well-drilled
army next door. We worked hard to find
those stories the big boys weren’t finding or to do the big stories differently
and sometimes better than they did.
I think it made us better reporters,
and it made them better reporters.
Next week, Birmingham, the last
two-newspaper town in this state, will
wake up to find that it’s just like everybody else, with just one newspaper.
Anyone who cares about news, who
cares about the printed word, will take
that as another loss in a long string of
losses across the country.
Obviously I liked it at the Post-Herald, since I stayed there almost 15
years. I covered a lot of murders, plane
wrecks, fires, tornadoes, you name it
and, frankly, had a ball doing it.
I made a lot of friends there and I lost
a couple of friends.
I’m thinking in particular today
about Ted Bryant, the dean of Alabama
political writers and my good friend.
About eight years ago, I held Ted in
my arms just seconds after he had a
stroke, and I eulogized him before a
packed house several days later. I’m
glad there was still a Post-Herald as
long as there was a Ted Bryant.
I’m thinking also today about a lot of
good people who stayed until the end,
including Jim Willis, John Staed,
William C. Singleton III, Patrick Rupinski, Bob Farley, Christine Prichard,
Cary Estes, Ray Melick and Elaine
Witt.
Those folks did something I wasn’t
willing to do, keep the Post-Herald
going, keep it scrappy, even when their
operation had been trimmed down to a
nub. They persevered, and this year’s
Alabama Press Association awards —
so many of which went to the P-H —
were but one testament to their
resourcefulness. As we also sometimes
say about individuals: They were still
sharp, still alert, up until the end.
Godspeed guys.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Bias in
Katrina coverage?
To the editor:
I grew up in Moss Point and have a
lot of relatives in Jackson County, and
I'm very concerned for them and all the
people that live there.
I am now living in Rocky Mount,
N.C. In 1999, Hurricane Floyd caused
a lot of flooding in Rocky Mount and
killed a lot of people and destroyed a
lot of homes here, but not on the magnitude of Katrina.
I have had a hard time trying to find
out how the people in Jackson County
are doing after the storm. I thank God
that found the online edition of The
Mississippi Press. It really helps out a
lot and I thank you all for making it
available on line. Now I can keep up
with the news there. My heart grew
heavy as I read the articles and looked
at the numerous photos of the devastation that Katrina caused to the homes,
businesses, schools and roads there.
While combing through the papers
from Aug. 30 to Sept.6, with one of my
coworkers, he made a comment about
one of the photos. There were some
people in line getting food, water and
other supplies. He said see, “that
scene looks integrated.” He is a white
man and even he noticed that all of
the photos of people who had damage
to their homes were white. Before he
made his comment I was trying to
block out what I was seeing, the racial
bias in the news coverage and suppress what I was feeling, embarrassment. It made my heart grow even
heavier to see that the news coverage
was not equal even after a major disaster like this one.
Are there no African American
homeowners in Jackson County? Is it
possible that none of there homes were
damage by the wind or flooding?
Thanks again for the digital edition
Donald Davison
Rocky Mount, N.C.
How much can we endure? In the past, I’ve
written about how Southerners are stubborn
and determined. Those characteristics will
help us trudge through the tragedy, on to
brighter days.
But, you know, even a Southerner as stubborn and determined as I am reaches a point.
That point came Wednesday evening.
My dog, Gembeaux (pronounced Jimbo),
has been with me since the day six years ago
when he appeared, a little ball of fluff without a home. He is a mixed
breed, adorable and loving.
As Hurricane Katrina
approached, I took Gembeaux and my cat, Charlie, to my brother’s home
in Pensacola. The pooch
spent a while in a kennel
there until I could go back
and pick him up to bring
him to my sister’s in
Mobile where he could be Joy E.
comfortable in his own lit- Stodghill
tle pen.
In the meantime, I have had some wonderful help from family and friends in repairing
his damaged fence. Wednesday night, I finished some work at our makeshift office at
the Mobile Register and went to my sister’s
house before heading back to Jackson County.
I went out to play with Gembeaux for a bit.
He was happy to see me and did not want
me to stop petting him. I gave him a bone my
sister had bought and then laughed at how
he ran around it, barking and pouncing. He
happily ran over to me for more petting a couple more times.
One of those normally-sweet moments
changed my life.
I was bent over, petting him, when he, all
of a sudden, snapped. He growled and lunged
at me. All I remembered seeing were teeth
coming at me.
Shocked, I quickly jumped back. At first, I
was blinded, and immediately thought something was wrong with my eyes. My next
thought was that I had broken my nose.
I did not know what had happened to me;
all I knew was there was blood dripping from
my hands and arms, which had been covering
my face in an effort to hide the damage from
my two young nephews.
My sister quickly got wet towels and ice for
me. We stopped the bleeding and she rushed
me to the emergency room at Knollwood Hospital.
Thankfully, there was no broken nose; I did
not need stitches; and my eyesight was fine
(except for losing a contact). Those of you who
have not seen me yet certainly have a treat in
store! My nose looks like a plastic surgery
gone wrong. I have scratches below and
above my left eye and on the eyelid. But, it
could have been so much worse if I had not
closed my eyes in time.
I have learned an important lesson,
though. Thursday and Friday, I spent my
time in public with head down, a bitter
expression on my face and anger boiling
inside as I walked the aisles in Lowe’s and
Wal-Mart, From the corner of my maimed
eye, I saw people taking a second glance as
they passed. They surely thought many
things: Perhaps they thought my scars were
hurricane-related, or that I was in a wreck, or
maybe I was a battered woman.
I have been self-conscious. I have always
hated to feel like people are looking at me. I
always cringe when I become the center of
attention at a party, or the subject of a joke
for a group. At those times, I prayed for the
proverbial black hole to open up and swallow
me into the earth, away from sight. God certainly heard a number of those pleas the past
few days.
But, then I pondered how wrong I have
been. Yes, I have scars; but I survived.
Instead of hiding my face, I should be thankful I have a face to be seen. I cannot help but
think of our once-beautiful Gulf Coast. We
have scars, and they are ugly; but we are taking our medicine and gently applying the
ointment. We are recovering slowly, but surely. The road to a real sense of normalcy will
be long, and we are feeling a little self-conscious now, but we have so much to share
with the world.
We have amazing stories to tell. We have
new heroes among us. We have discovered
our neighbors. And, most importantly, we
have learned we really are survivors. As survivors, we have a responsibility to rebuild
and restore our homes in memory of those
who lost their lives in the storm. In years to
come, we will face rougher storms than Katrina, or Gembeaux, and we will survive them,
too.
In the days ahead, take the opportunity to
share your stories, and the stories of those
who are no longer with us, with others.
Maybe you can do that on a Web site or with
relief workers from around the country.
Maybe you can do that in the form of a journal entry, and maybe you can submit your
written story to The Mississippi Press, so others can read your story and understand your
pain.
Thanks to Katrina, it’s an ache we all
know.

Services, a program for mental health and retardation,
agreed.
“Some people suppress it
only for it to surface in some
kind of emotional distress,”
he said. “Some act immediately.”
“Everybody expresses their
anger and depression in different ways,” Blackwell said.
Dahlen described some
common manifestations of
stress or anxiety. A person
may feel they don’t have the
same amount of energy they
used to, he explained, or may
have trouble eating or sleeping. People should seek professional help when these
behavior changes begin to
interfere with daily activities.
“It’s OK to ask for help,”
Blackwell said.
“One of the things that
mental health professionals
need to remember is that the
reaction that people are having now and are going to
have is perfectly normal,”
Dahlen said.
“This is a case where the
emotional damage is so widespread, I certainly don’t
think that anyone should feel
alone while dealing with
this,” he said.
“Everyone is going to feel
nervous,” he continued.
“Everyone is going to feel on
edge.”
“I certainly thing that talking to other people that have
been affected will be helpful.”

Trying to return to “normal” will also be beneficial,
Dahlen said. “One of the
things that is going to be
helpful is to try to get back
into a routine,” he said.
Dahlen admitted that families who are displaced will
not be able to regain the old
routine, but encouraged
them to build a new one.
“I agree with that 100 percent,” Blackwell said. “Any
sense of normalcy...”
“A positive is that school
is set to re-open,” he continued.

Many people already possess the skills of
resilience and will bounce back on their own,
given time. There also are a number of steps
you can take to help restore emotional well
being and a sense of control following a natural disaster, including the following:
• Give yourself time to heal. Anticipate that
this will be a difficult time in your life. Allow
yourself to mourn the losses you have experienced. Try to be patient with changes in your
emotional state.
• Ask for support from people who care
about you and who will listen and empathize
with your situation. But keep in mind that your
typical support system may be weakened if
those who are close to you also have experienced or witnessed the trauma.
• Communicate your experience in whatever
ways feel comfortable to you — such as by
talking with family or close friends, or keeping
a diary.
• Find out about local support groups that
often are available such as for those who have
suffered from natural disasters. These can be
especially helpful for people with limited personal support systems.
• Try to find groups led by appropriately
trained and experienced professionals such as
psychologists. Group discussion can help people realize that other individuals in the same
circumstances often have similar reactions.
• Engage in healthy behaviors to enhance
your ability to cope with excessive stress. Eat
well-balanced meals and get plenty of rest. If
you experience ongoing difficulties with sleep,
you may be able to find some relief through
relaxation techniques. Avoid alcohol and
drugs.
• Establish or reestablish routines such as
eating meals at regular times and following an
exercise program. This can be especially
important when the normal routines of daily life
are disrupted.
• Avoid major life decisions such as switching careers or jobs if possible because these
activities tend to be highly stressful.

Hurricanes do not discriminate;
they hit everyone in their path.
Pastors and members of churches
alike came home to loss following Katrina’s tantrum of terror.
“We saw the house, and it was
devastated,” the Rev. David Aultman, pastor of First Baptist
Church in Gautier, said, describing he and his family’s return on
the Wednesday after the devastating storm.
But, his story does not end
there. In fact, the way he tells
the story, his own loss has low
priority compared to the needs of
his congregation and community.
“There are people out there
who are still in shock,” Aultman
said.
He said most people have not
sought counseling yet because
they are still in shock. The impact
of the hurricane has not sunk in
yet for them. He said most of his
efforts and the efforts of the
church is in providing for the
“physical” needs, such as cleaning
out homes and pulling out molded sheetrock.
The Rev. Rodger Bradley, pastor at Church on the Rock, echoed
Aultman’s assessment that the
relief work has come first. He did
say he has had several instances
where he has done “emergency
counseling,” when the trauma of
the last month comes washing
over an individual like Katrina’s
mighty storm surge.
Bradley said he has seen “overwhelming loss,” “domestic” problems, “depression” and “desperation.”
Bradley has also suffered tremendous loss, but has put his
own needs aside to serve his people.
“The great overwhelming need
here has helped put ours on the
back burner,” Bradley said of his
home, which received six feet of
water in it. The Bradleys also lost
two vehicles in the hurricane.
“We just have so many needs
here,” Bradley said. He said 75
percent of his congregation is
homeless.
Aultman’s family had six inches of water in their house. They
lost furniture and many of their
possessions.
“That’s all they are — stuff,”
he said. “I put my responsibility
for God first and God has been
faithful.”
“Don’t try to do it alone,” Bradley encourages people.
He added, “They do have somewhere to turn.”

John Surratt/The Mississippi Press
Mary Ashbaker sifts through the rubble that was her family’s St. Andrews home. Occasionally, she finds a treasured memento. “It’s like a treasure hunt,” she said. “You remove a brick or a piece of wood and you find something hidden that you thought was missing.”
St. Andrews
From Page 1-A
will be enough to rebuild.”
Right now, she said, the
family is taking things one day
at a time, but, “it’s just a hard
thing to do when you don’t
have any cash flow. We’re just
waiting.”
Ashbaker sifted through the
rubble that surrounded her
home, moving loose bricks to
piles on what was once a
garage floor. At times, she finds
a memento or some other item
from the past.
“It’s a lot of small things,”
she said. “It’s like a treasure
hunt. You remove a brick or a
piece of wood and you find
something hidden that you
thought was missing.”
The Ashbakers’ situation is
similar to many residents in
St. Andrews, a longstanding
community of homes built
around a golf course and country club not far from the Mississippi Sound.
In the areas closest to the
water, the only evidence of a
house is a debris covered concrete slab. Across the street,
many homes are still standing,
but severely damaged, some
looking as if a great hand had
shoved the front of the building
into its interior. Trees are bent
and broken and ripped from
the ground.
On Saturday morning, while
the final stiff breezes from
Hurricane Rita, which was
hundreds of miles away at the
Louisiana-Texas border, blew
across the Mississippi Sound
and shook the remaining trees
in St. Andrews, many residents
were either searching for memories among the ruins or continuing to gut and clean their
homes in hopes of making
them livable again.
On St. Andrews Drive, Kitty
and Cy McConnell were making one last survey of the house
they had lived in for 32 years.
The house was still standing,
but the sheet rock and paneling had been removed from
above the water line left by the
five-foot storm surge that
entered it.
“This is not ‘home sweet
home,’ any more,” Kitty McConnell said.
“Volunteers from the
Church of Christ were at our
neighbors cleaning their house
and then they came over and
cleaned ours,” Kitty McConnell
said. “There were 11 men. They
were hard workers. When they
put the sledge hammer to the
sheet rock, that hurt.”
The McConnells were in
Mount Sterling, Ky., with their
daughter when Katrina hit
Jackson County. They lost
everything but a few items that
were either boxed or standing
in their garage, awaiting the
arrival of another daughter
who was bringing a trailer to
carry it out of the area.
Kitty McConnell said they
are not sure if they will stay in
St. Andrews.
“We’re both in our 80s,” she
said. “We’re too old to have to
move like this every few years.”
West of the Ashbakers’ home
on Inverness Drive, Bernie and
Dee Meadows were taking a
break from removing carpeting and sheet rock from their
home. They had three feet of
water in their home.
“We left and went to Jackson,” Bernie Meadows said.
“Then Jackson got hit and we
went to Charlotte (N.C.).”
He pointed to the large
motor home behind him.
“We bought this camper two
weeks ago,” he said. “We figured we’d need to be living
close to the work. Right now,
we’re just ripping and cleaning out. It’s looking better than
it did on Thursday.”
A few houses away, Caroline and Larry Smith were
doing their own cleanup
chores.
“There’s enough weekend
projects here for a whole year,”
Caroline Smith, who teaches
in the Pascagoula School System, said. “We were luckier
than the homes on the other
side. We had water and mud.”
The Smiths said that they
have met with their insurance
adjuster and are staying in
their house.
“This has always been a
good neighborhood,” Larry
Smith said. “People helped
each other. We all knew each
other and the security out here
has always been good. We’ve
only been broken into one time.
One of our neighbors saw stuff
on the ground and I guess he
scared them off. We were in
the Delta hunting and he
called us.”
“People here are determined
to make it,” Caroline Smith
said. “There has been such an
outpouring of help and it’s wonderful to see so many people
want to help us.”
“I was public works commissioner for Greenville for 15
years and I thought I had seen
everything,” Larry Smith said.
“But I have never seen anything like this.”

Far from Coast, small towns also
find Katrina recovery is slow
PETAL, Miss. (AP) — It was the wind,
not a wall of water, that Katrina sent
into this tiny town some 70 miles north of
Mississippi’s hurricane ravaged Gulf
Coast. But the wounds are deep and some
wonder if they will ever fully heal.
Almost every home in the town of about
10,000 is damaged, from torn roofs to
collapsed carports. Even Petal’s municipal buildings — from City Hall to the
fire department — remain scarred almost
four weeks after the hurricane.
“It’s going to take months to rebuild
but it’ll never be the same,” said 31-yearold Elaine Freeman, who was hanging
clothes to dry on lines outside her damaged woodframe home. “We’re just trying
to be patient. We’ll have to get a new
roof put on the house.”
Throughout the town, blue tarps and
clear sheets of plastic cover gaping holes
in homes and businesses and piles of tree
limbs, siding and roofing still line streets.
“We had so many trees down and power outages, it covered every street in the
city,” said Maj. Shawn Ellis of the Petal
Police Department. “We were without
power for weeks and cable is still out in
places but the biggest complaint I’m hearing is that people feel like they’re not
receiving a response from the insurance
companies.”
The scene is a familiar one for many
small inland communities in southern
Mississippi, said Lea Stokes, spokeswoman for the Mississippi Emergency
Management Agency.
“The eye of that storm went directly
through our state,” said Stokes. “We have
received heavy damage reports from
across south Mississippi. And several
central and even some northern counties that usually don’t see any type of
hurricane damage are reporting damage.”
In the area around Petal and nearby
Hattiesburg to the northeast, more than
3,200 people have requested temporary
repairs through Operation Blue Roof, in
which tarps are used to protect damaged
roofs, said Michael Logue, a spokesman
for the Army Corps of Engineers. He said
as many as 32,000 roofs could need
repairs throughout south Mississippi.
Home builders trying to marshal forces for recovery
JACKSON (AP) — Home
builders eager to begin the
recovery from Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi, Louisiana
and Alabama face daunting
hurdles — shortages in construction materials, a displaced labor force and the
uncertainty of new building
requirements.
“We are not near the point
of rebuilding,” said Rachel
Branch, executive officer for
the Home Builders Association of the Mississippi Coast.
“We are still trying to collect
our things and grasp what has
happened.”
With tens of thousands of
homes damaged or destroyed
in the Aug. 29 storm, members of the Florida Home
Builders Association briefed
their Katrina-stricken counterparts Wednesday and
Thursday about what to
expect in the recovery and
how to marshal their forces.
Participants showed great
interest in joining a Web network created by Florida State
University researchers and
funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
that links contractors with
suppliers, labor and jobs. The
Disaster Contractors Network
site was activated for the first
time last year for Florida after
four hurricanes battered the
state.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour has formally requested
Mississippi to be included in
the network. Louisiana and
Alabama are considering joining as well.
Even with that in place,
builders said they worry about
finding subcontractors still in
business after the storm, a
labor force left homeless or
disrupted by the evacuation
— particularly near New
Orleans — and delays in
restoring infrastructure.
“There is not going to be a
lot of rebuilding going on
when there is no cell phone
service, power service or water
service. There is a path to this
stuff,” said Douglas Buck,
director of government affairs
with the Florida group.
“What we are trying to do is
make sure our guys are ready
when the community is
ready,” he said.
Lumber prices already were
rising because of a general
homebuilding boom.
Shortages of concrete and
drywall were common. That’s
only expected to worsen.
Stiffer building codes may
raise building costs even
more.
FEMA is currently mapping
areas flooded by Katrina’s
storm surge along the battered Gulf Coast.
That could lead to changes
in local building standards,
requiring some homes to be
elevated, for instance, or
barred from being rebuilt in
areas considered too risky.
Delays over insurance settlements and hesitance by
insurers to write new policies
in the hurricane’s wake also
could slow the process,
builders said.
Katrina damaged or destroyed more than 27,000
homes in Mississippi. In one
Alabama county alone —
Mobile County — Katrina
destroyed 547 homes and
damaged nearly 900 others.

Shockley, Georgia too much for State
23
10
By JOEDY McCREARY
STARKVILLE — D.J. Shockley
passed for a career-high 312 yards
in his first career road start, leading
No. 7 Georgia past Mississippi State
23-10 on Saturday night.
Georgia (2-0 Southeastern Conference) opened with 4-0 for the third
time in coach Mark Richt’s five seasons, and the fifth-year senior quarterback is a big reason why.
Shockley, who’s finally enjoying a
chance to start after spending four
years as David Greene’s backup, also
set career highs with 20 completions
and 33 attempts despite gusty, hurricane-related winds and occasional
showers.
The soggy conditions didn’t seem
to bother Shockley, who surpassed
his previous bests of 289 yards passing and 16 completions he set four
weeks earlier in a win against Boise
State.
After winning his first three starts
Between the Hedges, the SEC’s most
efficient passer was sharp in his first
start on the road: The league’s most
productive offense outgained Mississippi State 406-254.
His first touchdown pass on this
night was his prettiest, and it came
on his first series. He slipped from
the grasp of Mississippi State’s
Deljuan Robinson, rolled right and
hit a wide-open Danny Ware from 28
yards out to give Georgia the lead for
good.
Shockley added a 10-yard TD in
the second quarter to Leonard Pope,
who caught it at about the 4 and
dragged Mississippi State’s DeMario
Bobo across the goal line.
And his 33-yard pass to Pope on
fourth-and-5 set up a 23-yard field

goal by Brandon Coutu, the SEC’s
leading scorer who entered with 31
points.
Coutu finished with three field
goals, adding kicks of 27 and 23 yards
for Georgia, which is off next week
and can start thinking about its Oct.
8 showdown with No. 10 Tennessee.
This one could have been much more
lopsided: Coutu missed field goals of 41
and 53 yards and Georgia lost a fumble
inside the Mississippi State 10.
Mississippi State (2-2, 0-2) was
looking for its second huge upset of a
ranked SEC East team in two seasons under coach Sylvester Croom.
The Bulldogs — who also play No.
3 LSU and at No. 5 Florida in the
next two weeks — shocked then-No.
20 Florida last year, and hoped they
could catch Georgia looking ahead its
game against the Volunteers.
Keith Andrews had Mississippi
State believing when he capped the
opening drive with a 34-yard field
goal. But after that, Georgia made
all the plays when they counted.
A tough, focused Georgia defense
held Mississippi State to 77 total
yards in the first half and never
allowed the Bulldogs to get anything
going until the outcome was all but
decided.
Omarr Conner had a late 4-yard
touchdown pass to Eric Butler and
finished 19-of-32 for 205 yards for
Mississippi State, while leading rusher Jerious Norwood finished with 43
yards and had minus-6 yards in the
second half.

OXFORD (AP) — Corey Bramlet threw
for 220 yards and two touchdowns to
help Wyoming beat Ole Miss 24-14 on
Saturday night
Wyoming (3-1) beat the Rebels 37-32
last season in Laramie.
Bramlet finished 17-of-33, and Wynel
Seldon added 124 yards rushing and 78
receiving, including a 5-yard touchdown
run.
The Cowboys rolled up 383 yards of
total offense and forced Ole Miss into
four turnovers, spoiling Ole Miss coach
Ed Orgeron’s home debut.
The home loss was the most lopsided
since a 27-7 loss to Southern Miss in
1983. The Rebels had won 24 of the previous 26 games in Oxford against nonconference opponents.
The Rebels (1-2) struggled offensively. Quarterback Robert Lane was ineffective in replacing injured starter
Michael Spurlock, who broke the middle finger on his left hand in last week’s
loss to Vanderbilt.
Spurlock played in the second half, but
was unable to rally the Rebels past the
Cowboys. Spurlock finished 5-of-14 for

over on three consecutive series to open
the third period.
With the score tied, Jovan Bouknight
scored on a 29-yard screen pass from
Bramlet with 50 seconds remaining in
the first half for a 13-7 lead.
Wyoming took a 16-7 lead on a 53-yard
field goal by Deric Yaussi, after Luke
Chase recovered a fumble by Lane on
the opening play of the second half.
The Cowboys went up 24-7 on a 4-yard
touchdown pass to Wade Betschart with
6 seconds remaining in the third period
after Ole Miss punter Will Mosely mishandled the snap and managed to lose 8
yards on a punt.
Spurlock threw a 41-yard touchdown
pass to Mike Espy with 1:33 left.

Austin takes
lead into final
round in Texas
From Wire Reports
SAN ANTONIO — Woody Austin took the
third-round lead in the Texas Open, shooting a
3-under 67 in 100-degree heat and wind gusting to 30 mph as the edge of Hurricane Rita
roared by about 150 miles to the east.
The 41-year-old Austin made a 4-foot birdie
putt on the 18th hole to finish at 13-under 197
on the LaCantera Golf Club’s Resort Course.
Robert Gamez (68), Mark Wilson (66) and
Dean Wilson (70) were tied for second.
Austin began the round two strokes behind
Dean Wilson and was as far back as five shots
on the back nine. The two-time PGA Tour winner rallied with an eagle on the 536-yard, par5 14th — hitting his 203-yard approach to 2
feet — and two-putted from 80 feet on No. 16
for another birdie after driving the green on the
348-yard hole.
Houston-area resident Jeff Maggert (70)
was two strokes back along with J.J. Henry
(66), Bob Heintz (69) and John Senden (70).
David Duval, the former top-ranked player who
made his first cut this year, shot a 70 to finish
10 strokes back at 3 under.

Newman eyes another
day of Dover dominance
By DICK BRINSTER
DOVER, Del. — Now, Ryan Newman will
return to his real job, trying to win the NASCAR
Nextel Cup.
He has the pole Sunday at Dover International Speedway, where he tied a record Saturday by winning his fourth consecutive Busch
series start. Before he set a track record by
leading 193 of 200 laps in that race, Newman
talked about his ultimate dream for the MBNA
400.
“I think every driver wants to lead 400 laps,”
said Newman, who moved within 40 points of
leader Tony Stewart with a victory last Sunday at New Hampshire International Speedway. “We’d love to lead the first one to get those
bonus points, and lead 399 more after that.”
That might be a bit of a reach, but Newman’s
pursuit of Jeff Gordon’s four-year-old mark of
381 might not be so unbelievable considering his
record of three victories in the last four races on
The Monster Mile.
As confident as he is, however, Newman
knows the treacherous high-banked concrete
oval has ruined the dreams of many.
“You have to be careful,” he said. “You never
know what the balance is going to be like. Hopefully, we can keep this car in one piece.”
He managed to do enough of that to slip into
the elite field of 10 drivers in the Chase for the
championship, earning the final spot in the last
race of eligibility two weeks ago in Richmond, Va.
Then he won for the first time all season in
New Hampshire to move into a tie for third.
But Newman won’t be overly excited should he
win Sunday’s $5 million race.
“You can’t just count them two or three,” he
said. “It’s going to take 10 races to win a championship.”
There is no magic formula to Newman’s recent
success, even though he calls it a turnaround of
sorts.
“We just try to keep the car going faster and
faster each run,” he said.
That means qualifying as well as racing. Newman has the pole Sunday on the strength of a
qualifying session Friday.
He took his Dodge around the track at 158.102
mph to easily claim his series-leading sixth pole.
He’ll start first Sunday for the 33rd time in just
his fifth year in Cup racing and do it on a track
he loves.
“It’s not necessarily the concrete,” he said “It’s
just the shape of it and the speed and the banking.”
Stewart also likes Dover, where he swept the
races in 2000. He has been a picture of consistency just about everywhere in the second half

of the season with 13 straight top-10 finishes.
Still, Stewart hopes crew chief Greg Zipadelli can come up with an improved package Sunday.
“We need to be a little better than we are,”
Stewart said after his final practice Saturday.
“But I didn’t knock the fence down.”
But Stewart’s bid for a series-leading sixth
victory might not be so easy Sunday. He starts
31st in a field of 43, but seems unconcerned
despite the crash-filled history of the track that
included a 14-car pileup in the Busch race.
“I’ve won from 24th on back twice, so I’m not
worried about it,” the 2002 series champion
said. “But we’re starting where we’re starting.
You can still get in trouble.”
His confidence is usually elevated at Dover. He
said a good handling car in the race is more
important than a good qualifying position.
“It’s a track where you can pass,” he said.
Kasey Kahne will start second, making it an
all-Dodge front row. Rookie Kyle Busch qualified
third followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and twotime Dover winner and Chase contender Jimmie
Johnson. That meant the third through fifth
positions on the grid were all Chevrolets.
Rusty Wallace, a three-time winner here and
tied with teammate Newman for third in the
standings, will line up sixth. Four-time Dover
winner and Chase participant Mark Martin,
Bobby Hamilton Jr., Joe Nemechek and reigning
series champion Kurt Busch complete the top 10.
Martin is seventh in the points and Busch 10th.
Greg Biffle, second in the standings, starts
18th. Chasers Matt Kenseth, a former champion; and Carl Edwards, will go from the 11th
and 32nd positions.

GAINESVILLE, Va. — Two
years later and halfway across
the world, the Presidents Cup
is as close as ever.
Chris DiMarco came up aces,
Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk
came through with clutch comebacks and Retief Goosen and
Adam Scott proved as formidable as ever Saturday, all of them
turning in solid performances
that left the matches tied going
into a final round of 12 singles
matches.
Each team had 11 points, the
first time the Presidents Cup
has been tied going into Sunday since it began in 1994
“I think tomorrow is a tossup,” Phil Mickelson said. “The
International team is very
strong, 12 of the best players in
the game. They are extremely
tough and are playing some
extremely good golf. I feel the
American team is playing exceptional golf, as well. I have faith
in my team. But we have a lot of
work ahead of us.”
The Americans had a chance
to take the outright lead in the
final better-ball match of the
afternoon.
Fred Couples, who has provided some of the most dramatic images from Robert Trent
Jones Golf Club, hit a wedge
into 8 feet on the 18th hole and
was poised to score a 1-up victory. But his putt stayed above the
cup as he and Davis Love III
had to settle for a halve with
Michael Campbell and Angel
Cabrera.
No one had to work harder
than Woods and Furyk, who
birdied the last two holes in
alternate shot Saturday morning to earn a halve against Vijay
Singh and Stuart Appleby, then
went the distance against them
in the afternoon. It was just as
tight, just as tense as Furyk carried the load and kept the Americans in the match.
Woods finally delivered, making an 18-foot birdie on the 16th
hole that barely caught the left
edge of the cup for a 1-up lead.
Appleby hit a wedge into 10 feet
on the last hole, but missed the
putt.
“I didn’t really do much except
for read puts and have the pompoms out,” Woods said. “Finally,
I was able to help him out on
16 and I made a putt there.”
The star was DiMarco, who
has only three PGA Tour victories in his 10-year career, but
plays like a major champion in
these team events. He made
only the second hole-in-one in
the Presidents Cup in the morning, holed just about every putt
that mattered and joined Mickelson in two victories the Americans needed.
DiMarco and Mickelson were
so dominant that neither of their
matches Saturday reached the
16th hole.
The International side got
more strong play from Scott and
Goosen, who battled Scott Verplank and Justin Leonard to a
draw in the morning, and buried
them in a better-ball match with
10 birdies in 14 holes.
The only other time the matches were this close was in 1996,
when the Americans took a onepoint lead in the final day and
split the singles to win the cup.
The Americans started the
day trailing by one point, but
pulled even by winning three
points from the five alternateshot matches in the morning.
There was no shortage of dra-

matic shots, stunning rallies and
even a tense moment of potential controversy.
DiMarco, 3-0-1 in his partnership with Mickelson, started it off with an ace on the par3 seventh hole. Assistant captain Jeff Sluman was on the tee
and mentioned that Leonard in
the group ahead had hit 7-iron.
DiMarco went with the same
club, and it hopped onto the
green and rolled gently into the
heart of the cup.
That sparked the American
tandem, and they never let up in
beating Campbell and Cabrera.

The Hokies (4-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast
Conference) shut down the vaunted
passing game of the Yellow Jackets
(3-1, 1-1), turned Georgia Tech’s only
sustained offensive drive into a special teams touchdown and scored 17
points in a span of 44 seconds.
Parker scooped up a field goal
blocked by King and ran 78 yards
for a touchdown, giving the Hokies a
14-0 first-quarter lead. And Xavier
Adibi and Chris Ellis returned thirdquarter interceptions for TDs just
26 seconds apart.
King caught a 13-yard touchdown
pass from Vick, Mike Imoh and
Cedric Humes ran for scores and
Brandon Pace kicked three field
goals for the Hokies.
No. 16 Notre Dame 36,
Washington 17
SEATTLE — Charlie Weis led
Notre Dame to the same kind of lopsided romp over Washington on Saturday that Tyrone Willingham did a
year ago when he was coaching
Fighting Irish.
The 16th-ranked Irish, clicking in
the air and on the ground after a
sluggish start, beat the Huskies 3617 Saturday in a game that had little to do with coaches matching wits
and everything to do with slick execution by Notre Dame and huge
blunders by Washington.
Quarterback Brady Quinn threw a
touchdown and compiled 327 yards
passing.
No. 1 Southern California 45,
No. 24 Oregon 13
EUGENE, Ore. — Matt Leinart
threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns and USC trailed early but
took over in the second half for its
25th straight victory.
The Ducks (3-1, 0-1 Pac-10)
jumped out to an early 13-0 lead and
clung to a 13-10 halftime advantage,
but the Trojans (3-0, 1-0) scored 35
unanswered points in the second
half.
Reggie Bush caught a scoring pass
and ran for another.
No. 8 Ohio St. 31, No. 21 Iowa 6
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Troy Smith
threw two touchdown passes to
Anthony Gonzalez and ran for two
scores and Ohio State’s defense shut
down Iowa.
Iowa (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten) finished
with 18 rushes for minus 9 yards as
A.J. Hawk and Mike Kudla each
were credited with 1 1/2 sacks for
15 yards in losses. The Buckeyes (31, 1-0) harassed Iowa quarterback
Drew Tate all day, sacking him five
times for minus 43 yards.

tight end Matt Spaeth after he scored a touchdown during the
upset win by the Golden Gophers over Purdue in Minneapolis.
Jackson ran for two touchdowns and
threw for a third to lead South Florida to the biggest victory in the
school’s brief football history, routing
Louisville in the Bulls’ Big East
debut.
After barely playing a role in the
offense in his team’s first three
games, Jackson was Mr. Versatile
in helping South Florida (3-1) beat a
ranked opponent for the first time in
six tries and stop the nation’s thirdlongest Division I-A winning streak
at nine games.
Minnesota 42,
No. 11 Purdue 35, 2OT
MINNEAPOLIS — Gary Russell
scored three touchdowns, the last a
3-yard run in the second overtime
to lift Minnesota.
Laurence Maroney rushed for a
career-high 217 yards on 46 carries
for the Gophers (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten),
who held on in another thrilling
back-and-forth game between these
rivals.
Purdue (2-1, 0-1) had a chance to
tie the game in the second OT, but
Jerod Void was stuffed on third-and-
TOP 25 ROUNDUP
1 from the Minnesota 17, and Brandon Kirsch’s fourth-down pass
glanced off Charles Davis’ hands.
The Gophers charged the field in celebration of Glen Mason’s first victory over Purdue in seven tries as
Minnesota coach.
No. 12 Miami 23, Colorado 3
MIAMI — Kyle Wright threw for
264 yards and a touchdown, plus
ran for another, and Miami’s defense
frustrated Colorado all afternoon.
Only Mason Crosby’s 58-yard field
goal — the second longest of his
career — with 11:57 left kept the
Buffaloes (2-1) from being shut out
for the first time in nearly two
decades.
Sinorice Moss had 111 yards
receiving, including a 53-yard touchdown catch, for the Hurricanes (2-1)
— who got three field goals from Jon
Peattie, then a 2-yard scoring run
by Wright with 8:44 left.
Quadtrine Hill and Tyrone Moss
combined for 99 yards rushing for
Miami, which got 12 tackles and an
interception from safety Brandon
Meriweather.
Wisconsin 23, No. 14 Michigan 20
MADISON, Wis. — John Stocco
scored on a 4-yard quarterback draw
with 24 seconds left as Wisconsin
snapped Michigan’s 23-game winning streak in Big Ten openers.
Wisconsin (4-0, 1-0) sealed the win
when Michigan’s Chad Henne was
flushed from the pocket and slipped
on the turf, the ball popping loose as
time expired and the Badgers
stormed the field with their first win
over the Wolverines (2-2, 0-1) since
1994.
It was just the second loss in
Michigan’s last 38 conference openers, and both were to Wisconsin,
which also beat the Wolverines in
their 1981 Big Ten kickoff.
Wisconsin also tied its modernday mark with its ninth straight
home win, its longest such streak
since the early 1960s.
Brian Calhoun rushed 35 times
for 155 yards for Wisconsin and
gained another 59 yards on seven
receptions.

HEADQUARTERS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Chris
Leak threw four touchdown
passes, all in the first half, and
DeShawn Wynn scored four
touchdowns as Florida got its
offense rolling.
After a blocked punt led to
an early Kentucky touchdown,
Florida (4-0, 2-0 Southeastern
Conference) scored on seven
straight possessions and led
49-7 at halftime. Leak, who
made his first collegiate start
two years ago at Kentucky,
was 25-of-32 for 319 yards.
Leak’s first touchdown pass,
a 16-yarder, went to Wynn,
who also scored on three short
runs. Wynn became the first
player in Florida history to
record two four-touchdown
games.
No. 20 Alabama 24,
Arkansas 13
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — D.J.
Hall caught two touchdown
passes from Brodie Croyle,
including a 5-yarder in the
final minutes, to lead Alabama.
Juwan Simpson’s interception at the Arkansas 40 set up
the late scoring drive for the
Crimson Tide (4-0, 2-0 SEC),
which has opened with four
straight wins for the first time
since 1996. On third-and-goal,
Hall slipped uncovered into the
end zone yards from the nearest defender with 2:22 remain-
No. 19 Texas Tech 63,
Indiana St. 7
LUBBOCK, Texas — Taurean Henderson ran for 141 yards and three
touchdowns, and Texas Tech rolled to
another early season runaway, beating
Division I-AA Indiana State (0-4).
No. 23 Virginia 38, Duke 7
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. —
Marques Hagans threw for four
touchdown passes and Virginia’s
defense forced four turnovers in a
victory over Duke.
Hagan’s first three TD passes
came on third and long, including a
46-yarder to tight end Tom Santi on
third-and-24 that gave Virginia (3-0,
1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) a 170 third quarter lead.
Deyon Williams caught two touchdowns, and backup tight end J.M.
Phillips scored on a 12-yard pass,
carrying two Duke defenders on his
back the final 3 yards.
Duke (1-3, 0-2) did not score until
the fourth quarter, and managed only
11 first downs and 215 yards from
scrimmage, much of which came
after the game was out of reach.

AUBURN, Ala. — Blake
Field completed 13-of-20 passes for 200 yards and three
touchdowns in his first career
start to lead Auburn to a 37-14
victory over I-AA Western Kentucky Saturday.
Field got his chance when
starter Brandon Cox came
down with a stomach virus
shortly before game time and
was unable to play.
Auburn (3-1) took control of
the game early, jumping out
to a 24-0 halftime lead and
holding the Hilltoppers to just
98 yards total offense in the
first half.
Kenny Irons rushed 18 times
for 111 yards and a touchdown
for the Tigers.

Steelers face
tough test
The Patriots are looking
to halt the Steelers run of
15 consecutive regularseason victories. When
both teams met in the
regular season last year,
Pittsburgh won 34-20 on
Oct. 31 to end New
England’s NFL-record
streak of 18 regularseason victories.
Atlanta at Buffalo
1-1
1-1
The question here is
Michael Vick’s sore
hamstring, which limited
him on the Falcons’ final
possession in a 21-18 loss
in Seattle. If he can't go, it
will be Matt Schaub. That’s
not a good thing against
the Buffalo defense. 1 p.m.
Cincinnati at Chicago
2-0
1-1
What WAS with the Bears
last week, when they
flattened Detroit 38-6?
After 15 years out of the
postseason, Cincinnati
looks like a playoff team.
Carson Palmer is maturing
and the young defense
leads the league in
takeaway margin. 12 p.m.
Tampa Bay at Green Bay
2-0
0-2
Packers are feeling the
effects of an offensive line
torn apart by free agency and
injury. Simeon Rice, Derrick
Brooks, Anthony McFarland
and company are likely to
exploit that against Brett
Favre, who is experiencing
a lot of adversity at the end
of a brilliant career. 12 p.m.
Cleveland at Indianapolis
1-1
2-0
Peyton Manning has just
two touchdown passes in
two games after a record
49 last season. This
probably should be easier
although the Browns got
Romeo Crennel his first win
as a head coach last week
in Green Bay. 12 p.m.

Maybe the mental and
physical exhaustion explain
Saints’ six turnovers against
Giants. Nothing explains
what’s happened to Vikings
and Daunte Culpepper,
who has thrown eight
interceptions in losses to
Tampa Bay and Cincinnati.

Jacksonville at N.Y. Jets
1-1
1-1
In their 10-3 defeat last week,
Jaguars held Peyton
Manning to 122 yards
passing and a rating of 44,
his worst in four years. Jets’
Curtis Martin hurt a knee last
week in a win over Miami
and Chad Pennington’s
shoulder still doesn't seem
to be at full strength. 1 p.m.
Oakland at Philadelphia
0-2
1-1
This game pits Randy Moss
against Terrell Owens, the
NFL’s two best and most
vocal wide receivers. But
Moss doesn’t have the
supporting cast – Kerry
Collins certainly isn’t
Donovan McNabb although
he’s dangerous when
protected. 1 p.m.
Tennessee at St. Louis
1-1
1-1
The teams that met in the
2000 Super Bowl are not
at that level now, in part
because they stayed good
for about as long as
anyone can with the salary
cap. Titans still have Steve
McNair and seem to be
developing a solid corps of
younger players. 12 p.m.

Carolina at Miami

Panthers’ bounceback win
over the Patriots legitimized
some of the preseason
expectations. This one might
not be easy. Nick Saban has
the Dolphins playing hard.
Their defense has been
good since Dave Wannstedt
stepped down midway
through last season. 1 p.m.

Dallas at San Francisco

1-1
The Cowboys have only
themselves to blame for their
loss to the Redskins Monday
night. It probably was cruel
for the NFL to send the
49ers to Philadelphia after
their uplifting opening-game
win. Especially since the
Eagles had lost in Week 1.
1:05 p.m.
Arizona at Seattle
0-2
1-1
If the Cardinals are to come
anywhere close to being the
contender some people
thought they were, they had
better win this game. Seattle
showed enough at home
against Atlanta last week to
suggest this could be a little
better than their typical
season. Maybe. 1:05 p.m.
New England at Pittsburgh
1-1
2-0
The Pittsburgh Steelers
haven't been tested yet.
The Patriots should be
much more difficult than
the Titans and Texans
despite offensive line
problems that contributed
to a mistake-filled 27-17
loss in Carolina last week.
4:15 p.m.
N.Y. Giants at San Diego
2-0
0-2
This Sunday night game
is more critical to the
Chargers than to the

Manning, who told the
Chargers not to take him
with the first overall pick in
the 2004 draft. 5:30 p.m.

A win by the Chiefs would
leave them two games

Vikings hope to fix blunders against Saints
By JON KRAWCZYNSKI
MINNEAPOLIS — When
the Minnesota Vikings traded
star receiver Randy Moss to the
Oakland Raiders in the offseason, coach Mike Tice vowed,
“We will be excellent on
offense.”
Two games into the postMoss era, Tice’s bravado sure
seems misguided.
The Vikings (0-2) have been
nothing short of atrocious offensively in losses to Tampa Bay
and Cincinnati, committing 12
turnovers and managing only
one touchdown.
“A lot of people on the outside are going to have their own
opinions. It’s not about who’s
not here. It’s about who’s here,”
said quarterback Daunte
Culpepper, who has thrown
eight interceptions this year.
“We’ve got to find our ingredients, the right mixture. We
can’t worry about anybody
who’s not here and stuff like
that. We’ve got to worry about
what we can do with the guys
who are here. We’ve got to figure it out.”
But it’s hard not to make the
connection. With Moss, the
Vikings had one of the most
dangerous and highest-scoring
offenses in the league for the
past seven years.
His mere presence required
opposing defenses to commit
two, and often three defenders
to him on every play or risk giving up six points.
This season, with Moss catching touchdowns in Oakland,
Vikings receivers have not been
able to get open, the running
game has been nonexistent and
Culpepper has looked lost.
Suddenly the Vikings, who
many considered a favorite to
reach the Super Bowl in a weak
NFC, are a team searching for
an identity, desperate simply
for a win.
“It’s definitely tough when
you’re used to doing very well
all the time,” Culpepper said.
“The thing is, we’ve got a totally different offense. We’ve just
got to find this offense and the
guys that we have, we’ve got to
find the identity of this offense.”
The New Orleans Saints
come to town Sunday still battling the effects of being displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
It seemed to wear on them in a
loss to the New York Giants on
Monday night. Originally
scheduled as a home game for
the Saints, the NFL moved the
game to Giants Stadium after
Katrina drowned the city and
ravaged the Superdome.
The Saints committed six
turnovers and 13 penalties in a
27-10 loss.
“We just had way too many
penalties and way too many
turnovers,” Saints coach Jim
Haslett said.
So are the aftereffects of Katrina finally getting to the
Saints?
“I don’t think so,” Haslett
said. “I hope not, because what
we’ve gone through is nothing
compared to what we have coming up. We’ve got games coming up where we’re on the road
eight weeks in a row. Our guys,
they can’t use that as an excuse.
It’s just the situation we’re in.”
Haslett is talking about the
Saints’ unique “home” schedule
this season. The team has relocated to San Antonio and will
play three games in the Alamodome. They also will play four
“home” games in Baton Rouge,
La., which the Saints consider
road games because they have
to fly there.
Receiver Joe Horn says
their difficulties are no excuse
for sloppy play or lack of
focus.
“We are not going to throw
that up there as an excuse. I’m
not,” Horn said. “If I could
speak for my fellow teammates,
I don’t think they’ll tell you that
being on the road and having to

travel to practice or being in
San Antonio is a distraction.
We made mental errors and
made mistakes against the
Giants in that game. That’s how
it is. It had nothing to do with
Hurricane Katrina.”
The Vikings aren’t making
excuses either, but they also
don’t have any answers for how
one of the top offenses in the
league can so quickly erode.

Latest hurricane sets back city’s plan to dry out
By ADAM NOSSITER
NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Rita
left floodwaters lapping at the highwater marks set by Katrina just three
weeks ago, raising questions about
how swiftly New Orleans can recover
from its epic flooding and providing a
grim reminder that the city remains
in peril even as it seeks to rebuild.
Despite the setback, Mayor Ray
Nagin said Saturday that he hoped to
resume a plan to move residents back
into neighborhoods that remained relatively dry, including the city’s business district.
Federal officials said it will take
two to three weeks to pump out the
latest floodwaters, which began pouring in Friday through levees that
were patched after the previous hurricane. On Saturday, water rose to
the tops of cars in one neighborhood
and seeped into homes in other sections of the city that were pumped
dry days ago.
“The surge got higher than we expected in the canal,” said Dan Hitchings, an engineer overseeing recovery operations for the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
The biggest failure was on the Industrial Canal, where a storm surge
pushed by Rita’s winds topped a levee that had been patched with rock
and gravel. The water cascaded into
the city’s impoverished Ninth Ward,
flooding homes to their windows.
The flow out of the canal stopped
Saturday afternoon, as water levels
fell and weather improved, but more
rain could cause renewed flooding.
Last week, Nagin delayed plans to
allow some residents to return after it
became clear that Rita posed a serious
danger and federal officials warned of
the problems that could face residents
coming back to the city. He said Saturday that the latest storm had postponed recovery efforts by another
three to five days.
“What I hope to do is very systematically repopulate the city,” he said
during a news conference, adding that
he thought the dry districts would
eventually support a population of
between 250,000 and 300,000.
“I have no idea what’s beyond that
because the houses stayed in water
for so long,” he said.
He said he wanted residents of the
Algiers neighborhood, which has electricity and water, to start returning as
early as Monday or Tuesday, following
with other ZIP codes.
“We’re talking about people who
are mobile. We’re not asking people to
come back who have a lot of kids, a lot
of senior citizens,” Nagin said. “That’s
mates the city’s system of levees won’t
be completely repaired until June. Its
commander in New Orleans cautioned
about the makeshift status of the
repairs until then.
With a month left in hurricane season, there’s no guarantee that another storm will not undo the next round
of hard work to bring New Orleans
back to life.
“It’s so dependent on the weather,”
said Col. Richard Wagenaar, the corps’
district chief in New Orleans.
The effort to rebuild the city will
be massive, including unprecedented efforts to demolish flood-ruined
buildings and resume electricity,
drinking water and sewage services.
The effort to plug the latest breach in
the Industrial Canal levee began Saturday with sand bags and boulders.

Police stunned by caches
of loot left in New Orleans
By MICHAEL PERLSTEIN
c.2005 Newhouse News Service
NEW ORLEANS — Just as
Katrina’s receding waters revealed acres of ruined houses,
flooded cars and pockets of bodies, the post-storm cleanup also
raised the curtain on a trail of
mass looting that left even the
most jaded New Orleans police
officers awestruck.
As search and rescue crews
staged house-to-house searches
for survivors over the past two
weeks, they repeatedly stumbled
upon stacks of merchandise —
from large appliances still in the
box to knotted tangles of hastily
pilfered jewelry.
Much of the loot is being recovered from the drier areas of
Uptown and Central City in New
Orleans‘ 6th Police District.
“At first, we stored the stuff in
the garage ... but the stack grew
too big, so we commandeered the
trailer from the side of the road
and started storing it there,” said
district police commander Capt.
Anthony Cannatella.
That 20-foot trailer rig was
quickly filled back-to-front, floorto-ceiling, so officers began putting everything into a 60-foot
trailer until that was packed, too.
They’re now easily on their way
to filling a 40-footer.
A peek inside the trailers
revealed the scope of the mass
theft: bicycles, TVs, computers,
printers, cameras, lamps, beer,
wine, liquor, stereos, toys, clothes,
bedding, diapers, power tools,
vacuum cleaners, VCRs, DVDs,
CDs, CD racks, clocks, an ATM
machine, a digital metal detector, a meat smoker and a deluxe
aquarium stand, for starters.
“C’mon,” Cannatella said.
“Why would anyone take a deluxe aquarium stand? Some of
this is just ridiculous.”
In normal times, the recovered
goods would be methodically
tagged and stored in the Evidence and Property room in the
basement of police headquarters,
but that storehouse and everything in it was ruined by water
that reached the ceiling.
“We can’t just allow thousands
of dollars of stuff to stay out in
the weather or sit in houses
where we found it,” Cannatella
said. “I know it’s crazy times, but
we’re trying to do things by the
book here.”
A large percentage of the goods
are still tagged with bar codes
from the Tchoupitoulas Street
Wal-Mart, a store that was all
but cleaned out during six hours
of utter pandemonium the day
after Katrina hit.
“That’s what shocked me most:
the total devastation of WalMart,” Cannatella said. “We had
people who destroyed stuff just
out of meanness. Bottles of mustard and mayonnaise, wine, just
smashed up against the walls
and floors. They cleaned out the
building and they destroyed it.
The only things left on the
shelves were the books and the
educational materials.”
The Wal-Mart was by no
means the only breached store.
“They got almost every store
in the district,” veteran officer
Skip Daughtry said. “All the little
corner stores, the grocery stores,
they hit them all.”
Sgt. Dan Anderson said he still
can’t get over the futility of the
lawlessness. People carted off
electronics when there was no
electricity, furniture for houses
that ended up underwater and
some piles of goods so unwieldy
they were simply abandoned on
the street.
“Talk about a lot of effort for
nothing,” Anderson said. “When
that (17th Street Canal) levee
broke, they had to leave it all behind.”
Some looters, however, went
to great lengths to try to protect
their stash, Cannatella said. One
group posted an armed lookout. A
couple of others left their haul in
abandoned houses guarded by
chained pit bulls, one of which
was shot by National Guard
troops. While dozens of looters
caught in the act were arrested,
no one has been arrested in connection with the recovered goods.
Cannatella said one clever looter rigged a fake bomb using PVC
pipes, electrical tape, wires and a
desk clock. The realistic-looking
device was sitting atop a pile of
computers and other boxed items,
Cannatella said.
“It kept my cops at bay for two
hours. You can’t take a chance
that it might be real, so we called
the bomb squad,” he said.
Cannatella said he has spoken
with Wal-Mart’s loss-prevention
managers on what to do with
that store’s recouped merchandise. One idea in the works is a
plan to donate the items to officers who lost everything in the
storm. In the 6th Police District
alone, Cannatella said, 52 of his
132 cops would qualify.

BRIEF
Spirited anti-war rally one of the largest of Iraq conflict
WASHINGTON — Crowds opposed to the
war in Iraq surged past the White House on
Saturday, shouting “Peace now” in the largest
anti-war protest in the nation’s capital since the
U.S. invasion.
The rally stretched through the day and into
the night, a marathon of music, speechmaking
and dissent on the National Mall. Police Chief
Charles H. Ramsey, noting that organizers had
hoped to draw 100,000 people, said, “I think
they probably hit that.”
Speakers from the stage attacked President
Bush’s policies head on, but he was not at the
White House to hear it. He spent the day in Colorado and Texas, monitoring hurricane recovery.
In the crowd were young activists, nuns
whose anti-war activism dates to Vietnam, parents mourning their children in uniform lost in
Iraq, and uncountable families motivated for the
first time to protest.

Sunken vessels, fuel tanks create major headache
By GARRY MITCHELL
KATRINA CLEANUP
AT A GLANCE
MOBILE, Ala. — Hurricane Katrina’s deadly
debris-scattering slam into the Gulf Coast left
messy fuel spills, leaky sunken vessels and toxic
chemical threats across a broad, battered shoreline.
The multi-agency task
force attempting to carry
out the cleanup faced a
storm of new obstacles with
the arrival of Hurricane
Rita, which spread more debris as it churned in
from the Gulf of Mexico.
But even before Rita, scientists said they have
never encountered such a catastrophe as Katrina.
“At this point, we’re not sure what’s out there,”
said marine scientist Russell Callender, director of
NOAA’s Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment program.
Next week, he said, NOAA and its federal partners will begin sampling and analyzing waters
and sediments from Lake Pontchartrain, Lake
Borgne, the Mississippi Sound and the outfalls
of the Mississippi Delta, looking for signs of contamination.
The testing will continue quarterly for the next
year, he said.
“We really don’t have a good picture at this
point in terms of how big the problem might be,”
Callender said.
Sheer numbers tell part of the story: The cleanup
covers 140,000 square miles of waterways and
coastal zones, including nearly 6,400 miles of
zigzagging shoreline. But David Dorian, an
Atlanta-based environmental engineer at EPA,
says the most dangerous elements are not necessarily the big ones, such as submerged, leaking vessels.
One particular hazard: chlorine cylinders found
in the debris dislodged from water treatment
plants.
“Chlorine is quite deadly,” he said.
A statistical glance at the Katrina environmental cleanup:
Area covered — 140,000 square miles of
waterways and coastal zones, including
6,400 miles of shoreline.
Debris collected in Alabama and Mississippi — 1,369 drums, 679 tanks, 979 cylinders, 17 fuel cells, 5,735 other containers,
718,216 gallons of fuel removed, and
49,000 gallons of oil/water recovered.
Sunken or damaged vessels assessed
in the two states — 400.
Cases of hazardous materials and oil
pollution — 575.
Environmental threat in Louisiana — 7.4
million gallons of oil discharged from tank
storage plants — most of it recovered —
with 11 major or medium spills.

Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,

A worker with Environmental Safety and Health Consulting Services clears oil
soaked debris from a Shell Oil facility Monday where a pipline broke when a levee
breached during Hurricane Katrina north of Empire, La.
Some cylinders had washed up in residential
areas, posing a threat to returning residents and
contractors arriving to help in the recovery.
As storm debris piles grow, inspectors will mark
the ones with hazardous materials, Dorian said, so
they can be separated out before collection.
Lt. Cmdr. Jim Elliot of the Coast Guard’s Gulf
Strike Team said at least 400 sunken or damaged
vessels in Alabama and Mississippi have been
assessed and photographed in the wake of Katrina. The Mobile-based team is trying to track down
their owners, and a similar effort based in Baton
Rouge is underway for Louisiana waters.
Most of the vessels targeted for removal have
been in hard-hit Mississippi — at Pass Christian, the Industrial Canal of Biloxi and the Pas-
cagoula River area.
In Alabama, Elliot said 72 fishing vessels in
Bayou La Batre were damaged or submerged by
Katrina. Ten of those vessels in the fishing village
were being pulled out of the water because of fuel
leaks.
Elliot said federal officials try to find the owners
before taking charge of a vessel in distress.
Besides the Coast Guard, the cleanup team
includes the Environmental Protection Agency,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, as well as state
environmental agencies.
Rita damages some refineries, but industry appears to dodge bullet
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Hurricane Rita smacked a key region for oilrefining with less force than feared on
Saturday, although there were some early signs of damage.
Pump prices for gasoline and diesel
fuel could rise if pipelines and oil refineries are slow to resume operations, and
analysts said they were paying close
attention to facilities in Lake Charles,
La., and Beaumont and Port Arthur,
Texas.
“There will be some modest disruption of supplies of gasoline and other
products,” said William Veno, an analyst
at Cambridge Energy Research Associates. “But I don’t think it’s going to be as
severe a situation as Hurricane Katrina.”
Power outages were reported across
wide swaths of Texas and Louisiana,
leaving more than a million customers
without electricity and one utility
spokeswoman said it could be weeks
before service is fully restored.
Valero Energy Corp. said it will take
two weeks to a month to repair and
restart its 255,000-barrel-per-day Port
Arthur refinery, which sustained “significant damage to two cooling towers
and a flare stack.”
Outside the plant, two workers from
Garner Environmental, a Houston-based
cleanup firm, spread booms and oil
absorbent pads late Saturday along a
perimeter fence in knee-deep floodwaters
stained with dark brown crude oil.
They, along with a quartet of Valero
workers in hip-waders assessing the
damage, de-clined to comment, referring questions to Valero’s San Antonio
headquarters.
Motiva Enterprises Inc. and Citgo
Petroleum Corp. also reported minor
damage to plants in Port Arthur and
Lake Charles, respectively. But on a positive note, Exxon Mobil Corp. said it
completed a safety assessment and plans
to restart it Baytown refinery outside
Houston, a 557,000-barrel-per-day plant
that is the nation’s largest.
Valero said the lights were on at its
refineries in Houston and Texas City,
Texas — plants that refine almost
300,000 barrels of oil per day.

Cameron and
Travis Nelson

sit in front of
what remains
of their wedding preparations after
their home
flooded
during Hurricane Katrina.
The couple
was married
Saturday night
in a smaller,
more intimate
event than
originally
planned.
By STEVE BURTT
A lot of people have speculated about what we were
supposed to have learned
from the experiences of the
last month. They seem to
think Hurricane Katrina
was sent here to be a
teacher.
Perhaps she was, but I’m
pretty sure she will be
remembered as “Katrina
the Destructor” and not as
an educator.
She certainly gave us all
something to think about,
though. For me, she was the
culmination of a really bad
summer.
She was also a vivid
reminder that the simple
things in life, those things
we often
take for
granted,
are the
important
things in
life.
That’s
such a
cliché, I
hate to
Steve
make
Burtt
the
point,
but over the last few weeks
we have all come to realize
the value of a hot meal, a
warm shower, a comfortable
bed, television, good friends,
a roof that’s still overhead,
daily mail and many other
things that we once considered everyday routine.
My summer started off
with an illness that put me
on my back and in a hospital ICU for several days. It
was then that I started considering the overpowering
value of good health. As
friends would visit me, all I
could think of is how lucky
they were to be able to turn
and walk out of that hospital.
Shortly after I got out of
the hospital and began my
recovery, my mother died
and once again, my
thoughts turned to the simple things.
How nice it would be to,
once again, be able to just
sit and have a talk with my
mother. She had a rather
direct and straight forward
way of telling me when I
was being a fool about one
thing or another, but I
always appreciated her
input. Might as well,
because she was going to
give me her opinion anyway.
Then, just when I was
ready to move on into my
favorite season of the year,
fall, we got Katrina.
I evacuated to Jackson to
stay with a friend, who had
an extra room, but no extra
bed, only an air mattress.
We stocked up on sandwich
stuff and rode out the
storm.
We immediately lost power in an all-electric house, so
there went the television
and hot showers. We got
sick of sandwiches after the
first day.
I guess I will remember
my first post-Katrina hot
meal and warm shower for
a long time. The first meal
at a real restaurant was
savored slowly. Then I
returned to the Coast,
where deprivation was taken to the next level. All of a
sudden, basics like ice and
water were valuable commodities.
How lucky we were in
Jackson County to regain
power as quickly as we did.
A simple thing like electricity let me know I was back
home again. And a long
summer had come to an
end.

Katrina won’t stop nuptial plans
By AMANDA CREEL
As little girls dream of their
wedding, few imagine their big
day will be flattened by a Category 4 hurricane.
But no matter how high the
storm surge or how strong the
winds of Hurricane Katrina on
Aug. 29, Mississippi Gulf Coast
couples on their way down the
aisle are not letting the hurricane ruin the celebration of
their nuptials.
For many couples whose
weddings were scheduled in
the weeks following the catastrophic storm, they are learning to appreciate the commitment rather than all the pomp
and circumstance normally
associated with weddings.
Carrera Cameron and Travis
Nelson are not having the wedding that Cameron had spent
months planning and describing in her pocket folder of her
wedding plans.
The florist, the photographer
and the bakery are all gone.
Now, the couple’s family is
pitching in to add a few of the
small touches back to the ceremony. Cameron’s mother is
making her a bouquet to carry
down the aisle and Nelson’s
grandmother is making a cake
to serve as the wedding cake.
“My grandmother is trying to
make the cake, it may not be a
pretty as the other one, but we
will have cake,” Travis Nelson
said. “Everyone involved with
the wedding is trying to make
it a big deal.”
The Pascagoula couple lost
their home and their jobs just
weeks before they were to

begin their life as husband and
wife, but nothing could stop
their desire to make their vows
on Saturday.
“We had plans and we had
already picked the date and we
weren’t going to let anything
stop us,” Cameron said.
Another concern for
Cameron and Nelson was the
family members who may miss
out on the ceremony, such as
Cameron’s grandparents and
Nelson’s son from a previous
relationship.
Nelson’s son, Colten Nelson,
was suppose to serve as ring
bearer.

‘A CLASSIC CASE OF BAD LUCK’
Pennsylvania company comes
through when insurance company
fails to meet need of Gautier family
By CHERIE WARD
GAUTIER — On April 1, the Olsen
family moved into the home of their
dreams. On Aug. 29, Hurricane Katrina roared ashore reducing that dream
home to nothing but a concrete slab
with a moldy, wooden skeleton.
“We’ve had a lot of rough times,”
Stephen Olsen said. “But God has
seen us through each and everyone
and he’s watching out for us now.
Everything that has happened has
really made me appreciate our church
family.”
Although Olsen and his wife, Gena,
have been married for 18 years and
the pair shares two children, this is
the only home the couple has actually
Cherie Ward/The Mississippi Press owned.
“This was the first home we were

“The white blood cells think the red

told that we would have to spend several months in Jackson, but thankfully we were only there a couple of
weeks,” he said.

their resilient little boy is the picture
of perfect health, but unfortunately
the treatment drained the family
financially, thus it took a few years
before they could afford to buy a
home.
“And we’d just got everything painted and the way we wanted it. This
house was perfect for us,” Olsen said.
After the couple closed the mortgage loan, they naturally bought a
homeowners insurance policy.
“We’re in zone X,” he said. “We’re
told by our insurance agent and
banker, ‘You don’t need flood insurance.’ They both said it was because of
where the house is and how high it
sits, so we listened and didn’t get
any.”

ADVICE
Teacher’s behavior Old wedding tape Really should clean

needs attention
Dear Annie: My daughter,
“Mary,” is in sixth-grade. She
often tells me that she and
her best friend, “Kim,” get a
lot of extra attention from
their teacher “Mr. Ken.”
By extra attention, she
means Mr. Ken teases them
or playfully embarrasses
them during class time. In
one instance, Mr. Ken began
to play with Mary’s hair,
“styling” it with string and
ribbon he found while cleaning a
shelf. She

I am
wondering if this is appropriate
behavior for a teacher, even
if it is done in a good-natured
way. Am I just an overly concerned parent? — Worried
in Wyoming
Dear Worried: This could
be perfectly innocent, but
you can’t be certain.
Many predators “groom”
their victims by subtly flirting with them and making
them feel special. Also, Mary
may be subconsciously
encouraging Mr. Ken because
she likes the attention or
believes it affects her grade.
If parent-teacher conferences are not on the schedule, call the school and make
an appointment to speak to
Mr. Ken.
Let him know that Mary
enjoys his class very much,
but you find his favoritism a
bit disconcerting. Ask him to
please stop singling out Mary
because it embarrasses her.
If he doesn’t comply, report
him to the principal. You also
should be talking to Kim’s
mother about this, and to
Mary directly, teaching her
how to protect herself. Just
in case.
Dear Annie: I intended to
write this letter last year
when Hurricane Ivan devastated Pensacola, Fla., but
never got around to it. Now
that Katrina nearly wiped
out New Orleans, I have to
write.
My husband is a Red Cross
volunteer. Every time he
helps, he is away from home
at least three weeks.
Many people are not aware
that volunteers stay away
from their families for a
lengthy amount of time and
often have to live in conditions not much better than
those of the people they are
helping.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all those family members of the volunteers who are helping out in
the areas ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.
I also want to encourage
your readers to help the volunteers’ families by offering
baby-sitting, transportation,
etc. This, in turn, will help
the volunteers, and they can
focus their attention on helping the hurricane victims. —
Gloria
Dear Gloria: Thank you
for reminding us that volunteers could use a hand, too.
Also, many of our readers
are still asking where they
can contribute for the
rebuilding and relief efforts.
Here are a few suggestions: The American Red
Cross (redcross.org) at 1-800HELP-NOW (1-800-4357669); Habitat for Humanity
(habitat.org) at 1-800-4224828; United Way Hurricane
Katrina Response Fund
(unitedway.org) at 1-800-8922757; and the Salvation
Army (salvationarmyusa.org)
at 1-800-SAL-ARMY (1-800725-2769).
Make sure to designate
your donations for Hurricane
Katrina relief. Bless you all
for caring.
Dear Annie: You’ve
already said that widows can
wear their husbands’ rings as
long as they want. What
about removing their husbands’ clothing from the closet?
I have talked to other widows and found that some
leave the clothes for years,
and others get rid of them
fairly quickly. What is right?
— Evelyn in Indianapolis
Dear Evelyn: As you may
already have surmised, this
is an individual choice.
Some widows cannot bear
to see their husbands’
clothes, while others find
comfort in those old sweaters
and worn suits.
Generally, a widow cleans
the closets when she moves
away, when she needs the
space, when she feels the
clothing will do more good
donated to charity, or when
the children do it.
No one should be forced to
clean the closets before she is
ready, but neither should you
create a shrine.

Dear Abby: I recently

still have a videotape of my
first wedding. I was married to that louse for a miserable four months.

destroy
the tape,
but she refuses. She says
she keeps it because several
of the wedding guests on
the tape are now deceased.
I would love to see those
deceased relatives again,
Abby, but not that cursed
wedding. And I certainly
don’t want my children to
see it. What should I do? —
Dismayed in North Carolina
Dear Dismayed: Your
mother’s reason for keeping
the tape seems logical.
Stay calm, and ask her to
please not share it with
your children. That’s a reasonable request.
When the time comes
that your mother joins the
relatives on the tape, you
can dispose of the “evidence” of your youthful mistake without causing a family feud.
Dear Abby: I am a
divorcee of one year who
has only recently started
dating after a severely broken heart and pocketbook.
I was married 19 years
and had never dated anyone besides my former husband. Dating is confusing
and difficult for me. It’s
hard to decide who to date
or if it’s worth it.
It definitely isn’t like
choosing a meal from a
menu — men are tricky
characters.
I have been seeing one
guy steadily. I’ll call him
“Chad.” We are intensely in
love. Chad wants to devote
all of his time to me. He
had lots of hobbies before
he met me, but he has
dropped all of them.
He gets jealous about any
time I spend with my
friends. Chad says he does-
n’t need friends, and
implies that I shouldn’t
either.
My friends are dear to
me, and some of them are
lifelong.
I don’t mind spending lots
of time with Chad, but I’m
not going to completely neglect my friends. How can I
get this point across to him,
or should I move on? —
Dating dilemma in
Arkansas
Dear Dating dilemma:
Pushing for a quick involvement and trying to isolate
the partner from his/her
friends are usually a tip-off
that the “pusher” is insecure.
They are also warning
signs of a potential abuser.
If you continue to date this
man, he will alienate your
friends to the point that you
will have nobody but him. I
recommend that you move
on.
Dear Abby: Is there any
rule of etiquette when it
comes to approaching a
stranger’s baby?
My friend, “Alicia,” was
holding our 3-month-old
daughter, “Kimberly,” while
we were in a store. A friend
of hers came over and asked
to hold the baby.
When Alicia said she
should ask Mom, the friend
said Alicia was holding the
baby and took Kimberly
without asking me first.
This made my husband and
me uncomfortable and
angry. We took Kimberly
from Alicia’s friend and left
very upset.
This is our first child, and
it is our job to protect her.
We feel we should be in control of who holds our baby.
Your thoughts, please. —
Chris in Findlay, Ohio
Dear Chris: There is a
rule of etiquette: No one
should touch a baby without the mother’s permission.
Your reaction was a normal one.
The woman who took
your daughter from your
friend’s arms without permission had a lot of nerve.

he probably would have led the
king at trick one, not the diamond jack. Play a trump to
hand, cash your three minorsuit winners, pitching two
spades from the board, and
lead a spade. If West puts in
the queen or king, play low
from the dummy, planning to
win with dummy’s ace if he
next leads a low spade. You
succeed when West’s honor is a
singleton or from honor-third.
If West has doubleton queen
or king, he just defended accurately, giving you no chance to
make the contract. If West
plays a spot card, win with
dummy’s ace. If East plays
low, continue with another
spade, making the contract
whenever an opponent started
with doubleton queen or king.
East must concede a ruff-andsluff.
You pitch the last spade
from one hand and ruff in the
other. If East plays the king or
queen under dummy’s ace,
return to hand with a heart
and lead a spade toward dummy’s jack.
Dear Readers: When is
the last time you cleaned your
can opener?
If you can’t remember, it’s
time!
Next time you’re in the
kitchen, take a good look at
your can opener. Would it
pass your health-inspection
test? If it’s not really clean,
you could be contaminating
canned foods with bacteria.
So, let’s get yours cleaned up!
The best way to clean a canopener

openers,

yet, an

brush
dipped in
baking soda or anti-bacterial
dish soap, and scrub vigorously.
Be sure to get both sides of
the blade clean, then rinse
and dry.
If you use an electric can
opener, it can’t be immersed
in water. So, use a wet sponge
or paper towel to “rinse.”
Check your owner’s manual,
too. Some electric openers
have removable blades that
can go right in the dishwasher.
You can prevent gunk
buildup in the first place. Just
wipe the can opener clean
with a wet paper towel or
sponge often. — Heloise
Comfort Food?
Dear Readers: Have you
been feeling the need for a little comfort food? Then do I
have the thing for you.
In my Heloise’s Cake
Recipes pamphlet, you’ll find
more than a dozen out-of-theordinary recipes that will sure
help to turn your mood
around.
One of my favorites is
Tomato Soup Cake, and I
think it might be because of
its yummy icing, which can be
used for carrot and other
cakes.
To make it, use 1 (3 ounces)
package of cream cheese, 1
teaspoon of vanilla, 1 cup of
1
confectioners’ sugar and ⁄4 cup
of chopped nuts.
Place cream cheese in a
small bowl and let it soften at
room temperature.
Add the vanilla and sugar.
Mix well.
Spread the icing on the
cooled cake and sprinkle it
with the chopped nuts.
In fact, there are a few other cake recipes in this pamphlet that use a variation of
the cream-cheese icing. Why
purchase store-bought frosting when you can make your
own and control the sugar
content? — Heloise
Small Fruit Platter
Dear Heloise: I was making a fruit platter with a dip
for a luncheon.
The bowl to hold the dip
kept sliding all over the plate.
One of the ingredients in the
dip was marshmallow fluff. A
little bit of fluff on the bottom
of the bowl held it in place on
the plate!
I now use this trick whenever I need to keep a smaller
container firmly planted on a
larger plate! — Grace G. in
Pennsylvania
Bread-Baking
Dear Heloise: When I
bake a loaf of bread, I slice it
with an electric knife and
shave off the crusts so we
don’t have any heels.
From a school lunch lady: If
you do have heels of bread
you want to use up on sandwiches, try turning the crust
sides to the middle of the
sandwich. — Charlene Joy,

Help the children left
behind not feel left out
NEW YORK (AP) — With the
focus on the new school year in so
many households, it’s understandable that children who are
not yet of school age are feeling
left out. This can be a big moment
in the lives of toddlers or
preschoolers who’ve always had
older siblings around.
Parenting magazine’s September issue offers solutions to ease
children into the transition:
• Adjust everyone’s schedule at
the same time. If big kids go to bed
earlier, the little kids should, too.
• Acknowledge the children’s
feelings by saying, “It’s different
with your sister gone today, isn’t
it?” But don’t dwell on it.
WE’RE HERE
WE’RE OPEN
CALL NOW
• Encourage the young to mimic
some activities the older sibling
might be doing at school, i.e., buy a
lunch box for the young and let them
eat lunch from it.

bearing down on the Coast,
the family fled to Tallahassee,
Fla., where they waited to see
where the storm would make
landfall.
On their journey home, they
never once thought flood damage would be something they
would return to, but Olsen
said as he drove down U.S. 90,
he saw something that made
it clear that there was a definite possibility their home had
been engulfed by flood waters.
“I knew when we passed the
school (Gautier Elementary)
parking lot that we probably
had significant damage,” he
said. “Because there was a
Dumpster that said GES sitting in the middle of Highway
90. We knew then the water
had gotten pretty high.”
Caked with mud and gunk,
their dream home had taken
in more than 3 feet of water,
destroying the entire contents
of the house.
“We were just lost with disbelief when we got here,” he
said. “We were upset and just
trying not to break down
when Drew put everything in
perspective and said, ‘Dad, at
least we have the four of us
and Jesus.’ That was a pretty
special moment. Drew teaches
us so much.”
So the Olsens took what little was salvageable, moved in
with family members and contacted their insurance agency.
“When the adjuster came
out he stood in our gutted-out
home and told me, ‘This is a
classic case of bad luck.’ We’d
have about $300 or $400
worth of damage to the shingles on the house and the
shop garage had about $1,000
worth of damage, but with our
deductible we’d pretty much
break even,” he said.
In shock and knowing there
was no way they could afford
to rebuild on a math teacher
and a nurse’s salary, a gift was
handed to the Olsens in the
form of a mobile wireless company.
David Mausolf, president of
Phoenix Accessories Inc. in
Hatfield, Pa., contacted David
Aultman, pastor of First Baptist Church in Gautier, and
expressed his company’s wish
to help a family with young
children who had lost everything.
“Brother David called me at
work to tell me,” Mrs. Olsen
said. “And I just lost it. It was
one of those feelings where
you question yourself. I just
keep saying I don’t deserve
this kind of gift. But, at the
same time I felt like all of my
worries had been lifted and
then I started just crying. I
was crying so hard, I didn’t
think I was ever going to
stop,” she added with a laugh.
“Someone had to run and get
my sister because they couldn’t get me to stop and talk.”
The company of 72 employees is going to completely
rebuild the Olsen’s house,
along with replacing all of
home furnishing.
“I think we’ve spoke with
almost everyone there,” she
said. “They call all the time
and they are just as excited as
we are. They have sent us
clothes and packages and just
all kinds of things. The whole
company is so generous and
just wants to help.”
The company has even
asked what kind of music the
family likes to listen to and
what type of toys to send for
the boys.
“They are replacing everything — flooring, furniture,
appliances,” she said. “Even
the smallest detail is being
handled by them.”
Phoenix Accessories is purchasing everything for the
Olsen home and shipping it to
the Coast in semi-trucks on
Sept. 28. With the trucks will
be a team of skilled labors and
the company’s employees and
they plan to rebuild everything in just two days.
“We will be forever grateful
to these people,” Olsen said.
“When we get ready for a
vacation, we’re going to spend
a week in Hatfield shaking
hands and giving hugs.”
Randy, 9, has been having a
great time helping mom and
dad around the house, but
said building a house in two
days is a little extreme.
“It’s almost like that show,
‘Extreme Home Makeover,’”
he said. “I can’t wait!”

Red Cross offers a place to call home
Simpson-Prewitt
By CHERIE WARD
GAUTIER — When Natasha
Montgomery had to flee her
Moss Point apartment because
of the flooding surge of Hurricane Katrina’s waves, the first
place she and her children
headed was her mother’s home.
But, she arrived only discovered the house she grew up was
in worse condition then her own
home.
“All our stuff is gone, just
gone. Our van, our clothes, just
everything,” Montgomery said.
“My mom is who I would usually go to since we have
nowhere to live, but her house is
worse than mine. We just needed somewhere to be that was
clean, sanitary and dry.”
Montgomery, who sits in a
wheel chair because of a
crushed ankle from a car accident, and her two children, Ashley, 11, and Travis, 10, found

people these days, displaced.
Luckily, the family was directed to the Red Cross shelter at
the Gautier Convention Center,

“We don’t know the outcome
of all of this. We don’t know how

“I pray for strength and guidance everyday and I know God
didn’t bring me this far to leave
me now.”
Montgomery is not the only
one in the shelter with an optimistic view point. Matt Carmen, 20, of Pascagoula is looking forward to continuing his
education.
“We got 18 feet of water,” Carmen said as he threw a Nerf
football to Travis. “My mom is

for me, so I got dropped off here.

HURLEY — On Sept. 9, Red
Cross volunteers who had been
working at the East Central
High School shelter, invited
some of key people for a night
on the town to celebrate a job
well done.
The volunteers were grateful to the community for pouring in supportive services that
made the shelter run as
smoothly as possible during the
initial weeks of disaster relief.
One of the people who coordinated the shelter’s needs was
Waylon Loper. Loper worked
tirelessly to coordinate needs
of the shelter with private
resources. He was able to
secure more than 250 air mattresses, clean sheets, pillows
and pillow cases from a source
out of Atlanta, Ga., called Angel
Flight. The supplies also helped
those at the Vancleave shelters.
Many of East Central’s cus-
todial workers were on site tirelessly day and night as well.
The school cafeteria was open
providing hot meals on a regular schedule served by everyone from students to senior citizens.
When running water was
restored, a schedule for showers
was worked out. Other volunteers came in and gathered
clothes that needed to be laundered. Clean towels were donated by a local church. Others
relayed messages by phone as
the school had no phone service
and many of the cell phones
were not operational.
Assistant principal Sheree
Nelson quickly and efficiently
shifted gears from coordinating a school to coordinating a
shelter that housed up to 500
people. East Central High
School principal Tim Anderson
also worked to help things run
smoothly. It was a fast and
shocking transition from the
school halls being crowded with
youth moving between classrooms. The East Central shelter population dwindled down
to approximately 85 before relo-

Faith, family help restore normality to Beaux Chenes
By REGINA HARVEY
OCEAN SPRINGS — Located deep within the southeastern region of Ocean Springs,
there was a quaint little community nestled amongst the
oaks. Children there were safe
to play along the streets while
mom tended the garden and
dad washed the car. A place
that was desirable to many,
where a family could feel safe
and secure.
This community was known
as Beaux Chenes. In a flash,
this all changed. Every home
within this community has
been devastated by Hurricane
Katrina as she came in with
her bellowing surge and
washed away everyone’s prize
possessions.
Every single home had
between 7 and 10 feet of water
in it. Father and son, Johnny
and Jack Miller, each own a
home in Beaux Chenes. Veterans of Hurricane Camille, the
Millers chose to stay in their
homes during Katrina.
With false security, they
communicated between homes
by way of two-way radio. Jack
and his wife, Norma Miller,
saw the wall of water rush
toward them and warned
Johnny and his family it was
coming.
Johnny Miller said within 10
minutes, the water was at his
front door demanding to come
in. His family ended up camping out in the room above the
garage for three hours.
“It looked like a tsunami
wave,” Miller said.
The water came from the
east of the neighborhood and
charged west. Anique Miller,
wife of Johnny, said, “I began
to fear for my family’s life and
actually called 911.”
The Millers rode out the
storm with their four children
Nicole, 15, Mickey, 11, Peyton,
7, and Jacob, 2. When Miller
asked his son, Jacob, “What’s
wrong with the house,” Jacob
simply replied, “The house is
broke.”
Hours later, John and Sandra Gara came home to find
the destruction. They helped
the Miller family leave their
homes. The streets still had
more than 4 feet of water in
them. The Garas stayed with
Tommy Gara in Trentwood
Subdivision during the storm.
Alisha McCarty, single
mother of 9-year-old Lacy, is
still very emotional. “I don’t
know what I’m going to do; I
don’t have any money or flood
insurance.”
The people of Beaux Chenes
were told while purchasing
insurance, they were not in a
flood zone and wouldn’t need
flood insurance. Only 12 families in an entire neighborhood,
of more than 100, actually purchased flood insurance. When
asked why would you purchase
flood insurance if you didn’t
need it. Jack Jenkins replied,
“For peace of mind, it is only
$280 a year.”
Other members of the Jenkins family are wife Laura and
5-year-old son, Cody. John
Barnes, his wife Nancy, and
his two sons Nick, 32, and
Alex, 25, are trying to make
the best of what they have left.
Nick Barnes lived in
Pascagoula and lost his home.
Now he is living back within
the shambles that is left of his
parents home. Scott and Rose
Tackett moved their family to
Mobile. Their two daughters
Evie, 11, and Lexie, 9, are hap-

The Morris family is, from left, daughter Erin, with family pet Choco, Cathleen, Gary

pily living and going to school
at Burns Middle School and
Dodge Elementary in Mobile.
Tackett said her children
have not seen this devastation
and she plans to keep it from
them. The girls are military
and used to moving frequently,
they have not questioned the
move.
Other families affected by
this freak of nature are Robert
and Cecilia Kneib, Chris and
Chasta Orstadt and family,
Linda Morgan and family and
Barbara Hua and family.
Although there are many
families throughout this neighborhood with stories to share, I
am drawn to one particular
family, my friend and former
co-worker, Cathleen Morris.
Cathleen is a third-grade
teacher at Oak Park Elementary. She is married to Gary
Morris, a chaplain with the
Veterans Administration in
Biloxi.
The Morris’ rode out the
storm at the VA with their
children, Matthew, 16, Erin,
13, and Kyle, 9. Matthew,
Erin and their father were the
first to come home. At first, the
family grew hopeful at what
they would find because everything around them seemed to
be OK. Erin was the first to
try and open the door, she was
unsuccessful. They pried the
door open to discover complete
devastation.
“A warm, foul air pushed us
back; warning us not to enter,”
she said.
“It was horrible,” Matthew
said.
As I spoke to each of the
Morris children, I was able to
get different perspectives. Erin
is living day by day and beginning to block out things she
may have experienced. She is
looking for that sense of normalcy. Kyle, the youngest, is
very angry.
“I just wanted to move away.
I didn’t like it anymore; after
going through three hurricanes and I didn’t want to go
to the VA anymore.”
It has been very difficult for
him to accept what is going on
around him. Matthew is
becoming a man even quicker
than he may have chosen to. “I
feel so overwhelmed and
stressed; I don’t know where to
begin. I don’t feel it’s my job to
throw away all my prize possessions,” Matthew said.
Each of them, at one time or
another, has thought about
giving up. What is keeping
them going?

“It has been hard, my life

places at once. He wants to

wants to be home helping his
family. Yet at the same time

“God has blessed us a lot;
my family and pets are still
here. I feel we have been
blessed by all the people who
have been helping by bringing
food and ice,” Mrs. Morris said,
“The volunteers have been
great.”
“Everyday there is a group
bringing us things. The
churches have brought food,
the military is patrolling the
area and the fire department
has brought ice.”
The Morris family and other
families in the area have only
one beef. There has not been
anyone helping to remove the
debris. Families throughout
the neighborhood have called
the county numerous times
asking for help with the debris
and their cries have not been
answered.
“To me, now, it’s just stuff. It

every day makes me

and it can be replaced. I know
it means more to my parents.

Matthew said.
“I’m just afraid it will bring

are children out here and it is
unsafe for them to play in

Explaining love
bugs to our friends
from up north
Mississippi has people from
all across the United States
helping us during our time of
need. I’m figuring the least we
can do for them is explain
what a love bug is.
I asked two Red Cross volunteers in Moss Point what
they thought about these love
bugs. They both got wide eyed
and replied, “Is that what you
call them?” One volunteer was
from Albany, N.Y., and the
other from Colorado.
I told them what I knew
about love bugs and assured
them they
wouldn’t
attach
themselves to
their luggage or
vehicle
and start a
new infestation in
more
Reba
northern
McMellon
regions.
There
are a lot of myths about what
love bugs are and where they
come from. Some of the theories say they are a result of an
experiment gone bad in a university laboratory. Another
theory is that the love bugs
came in on a ship docked in
Mobile from a foreign country.
Neither is correct.
The scientific name for a
love bug is Plecia nearctica. I
was able to get a lot of interesting facts about love bugs
from a Google search. The
most helpful information
came from The University of
Florida and Texas A&M.
Some of the information is
down right embarrassing, for
obvious reasons.
Love bugs don’t bite, they
don’t damage crops and they
don’t fly at night. They are not
an environmental hazard. A
smaller crop comes out in
March/April and the larger
infestation comes in late
August and September. They
are annoying and create a
driving hazard when they
smear your windshield. They
create extra work when cleaning one’s car, porch and floors
inside your house. Who needs
that right now?
I’m thinking if we can study
the surface of Mars in great
detail, why can’t we irradiate
love bugs, fire ants and
kudzu?
Researchers at Texas A&M
have this to say about love
bugs:
“Copulatory behavior begins
with the male darting and
grasping a female that is flying through the swarm. The
pair falls to the ground where
they couple. Initially, the male
is positioned on the back of
the female and both sexes face
the same direction. After coupling, the male turns 1800
and faces the opposite direction.
“Successful genitalic
engagement takes from 1.5 to
10 min. There is intense competition among males for
females at emergence sites.
Hovering males may grasp
and attempt to disrupt copulation pairs flying in the vicinity. Larger males are more successful in disrupting copulating pairs. It was also observed
that the larger females laid
more eggs.
“Marked copulating pairs
were collected up to three
days after their release. In
nature, pairs were never
observed to disengage in flight
or at night, but termination
was observed in the daytime
on vegetation. Second mating
were observed in the laboratory when a virgin of the opposite sex as provided. Females
that mate once usually lay
their eggs and die after an
average of 68 hours. Females
that mated twice before laying
eggs lived for a mean of 86
hours. Maximum sperm
transfer requires about 12.5
hours.”
The University of Florida
tells us:
“Love bugs, you see, live to
love. The big one’s the female,
and when she’s filled with
that loving spirit, she waits
until 10 a.m. and climbs up
onto some foliage. There, she
waits for a squadron of boy
bugs to come flying over. The
guys will have been aloft for
about an hour or two by then,
just hovering into the wind
and trying to make themselves look attractive.
“When a likely group flies
over, the female springs into
action, launching herself right
into their midst, whereupon
great excitement is unleashed.
Sooner or later, a hopeful
male will dart over and drape
himself upon the back of the
female. Now, this is a bug
with an agenda. He wants the
female to find someplace less
crowded. His hope is that the
flight will quickly disperse
and leave him alone with his
lady-love. At the same time,
other, possibly more macho
boy bugs are determined to
dislodge the suitor. They dart
in, and he holds on for dear
life — his own and his progeny’s. Even worse for him, the
actual mating takes from a
minute to 10 minutes, in
which time he has to hang on,
get coupled, and turn around
in the opposite direction to
complete the deed.”
“Once successfully coupled,
nothing on earth will ever sever or dis-sever their love. In
fact, after the act is done, the
male becomes just so much
dead weight. The lady love
bug turns her thoughts to
being momma love bug, and
she simply flies off. Unfortunately, daddy is still sort of
locked into momma, and
that’s the familiar perspective
we Southerners get to see. If
he’s lucky, she’ll drop him off
(or rub him off) on a handy bit
of foliage. If he’s unlucky,
she’ll just keep flying along
with him haplessly in tow.”
(Dr. Phil Koehler of the University of Florida says they
like to “fly united.”)
Don’t feel bad about the losers, however. There’s a second
daily flight scheduled for 5
p.m., and four entire weeks
for them to get lucky.
The female then lays her
eggs. Her average life span is
about 68 hours, but if she’s got
it in her to rise again, she can
extend her life to about 89
hours.
Now, all that’s lovely, isn’t
it?
Actually, the problem with
love bugs is that they also love
things they should not. Like
asphalt, hot engines, vibration, and diesel exhaust, anything white and crevices they
can sneak into to get in your
homes.
Love bug bodies are acidic
so if they remain in place on a
car’s finish for one or two
days, they etch car paint.
You may be wondering
about the love bugs’ contribution to the greater good. Other
than exhibiting inspiring
behavior in the face of adversity, their larvae do serve a
useful function. They recycle
organic matter. That is not
enough to justify their existence, in my opinion.
Love bugs originally migrated from Mexico to Texas and
now live in humid coastal
regions, including Florida and
the panhandle. Love bugs do
not live in land-locked areas
such as Atlanta, though a few
fly up and annoy people as far
as Jackson, Miss.
I told the Red Cross volunteers that love bugs are
attracted to anything light colored and hot. That’s where the
tradition of no white shoes or
pocketbooks after Labor Day
began. They found this a fascinating fact but then I admitted I was just pulling their
leg. (I hope they know that is
a Southern phrase for making
things up).
I personally detest love
bugs. They annoy me to no
end. I’m thinking my reaction
to love bugs may be slightly
motivated by jealousy or
resentment. I don’t believe in
reincarnation but if I did, I
think coming back as a love
bug wouldn’t be an entirely
bad thing to do.

By CHRISTOPHER WANG
NEW YORK — Wall Street rallied to
finish mostly higher Friday, capping
off the week with two days of gains as
Hurricane Rita lost strength and raised
hopes that its impact on key Gulf Coast
refineries wouldn’t be as bad as initially feared.
With Rita headed for the Texas coast-
line — the heart of U.S. oil production
— investors had braced for a repeat of
the devastation caused by Hurricane
Katrina last month. By Friday afternoon, however, Rita weakened two
notches to a Category 3 hurricane,
sending oil prices down more than $2
and easing the mood on Wall Street.
But trading volume remained light
while traders kept an eye on the storm,

to shop at Wal-Mart and whose children go hungry.

American’s blacks (and 44 percent

risk of hunger.
But before Katrina, few wanted
to hear any of this, says Reese
Fayde, head of Living Cities, a New
York-based nonprofit group.
“You are made to feel you are
detracting from something good,
that you’re not patriotic, that you’re
trying to focus on a niche issue,” she
said. “Poverty didn’t happen
overnight, but now it’s as if someone
lifted up a rock and wow, there they
are, all those poor people!”
Rev. Cecil Williams, a veteran
social activist who leads San Francisco’s Glide Memorial Church, said
he keeps getting calls from people
who say: “’Not only did we not know
there was so much poverty, but also
that so many of these poor people
were black.”’
It’s frustrating, said Williams.
“We’ve been there all along.”
For those who have been living in
poverty, and those who have been
trying to fight it, the current air of
surprise about this chronic disaster
is both frustrating and amusing.
For some it’s also, perhaps, a glimmer of hope.

Statistics expert takes stand in Vioxx trial
By JOHN CURRAN
David
Anstice, a
Merck & Co.

testifies in
Atlantic City,
N.J., Wednesday. Anstice
was called as
a witness in a
product liability trial over
the withdrawn
painkiller
Vioxx.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Even shortterm use of the painkiller Vioxx can double
the risk of heart attack and death, a medical
statistics expert testified Thursday in a
product liability trial. He said manufacturer Merck & Co. misrepresented the dangers after a study showed Vioxx users had
five times more heart attacks than those
taking a comparison drug.
Testifying on behalf of a postal worker
suing Merck, University of Washington biostatistician Richard Kronmal said patients
who took the now-withdrawn painkiller in
company-sponsored tests suffered serious
side effects to blood vessels almost immediately.
“It clearly is a drug that has severe effects
on the vascular system,” Kronmal said.
He analyzed Merck’s own data from six
different studies at the behest of lawyers
for Frederick “Mike” Humeston, 60, of Boise,
Idaho. Humeston is suing Merck, claiming
his Sept. 18, 2001 heart attack was caused
by Vioxx. His lawyers have told jurors Merck knew of the drug’s risks and failed to
warn consumers.
Merck, based in Whitehouse Station, contends Humeston’s heart attack was due his
sedentary lifestyle and that, as a Vioxx user
for only two months, he wouldn’t have been
among those at risk. Merck has said Vioxx
only increased cardiac risks after 18 months
dropped 2.46, or 0.02 percent, to
10,419.59, after sliding as much as
49.75 in early activity.
The broader stock indicators moved
higher. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index rose 0.67, or 0.06 percent, to
1,215.29, and the Nasdaq gained 6.06,
or 0.29 percent, to 2,116.84.
Bonds finished lower, with the yield

of use and that it properly disclosed the
risks.
The drug, which was pulled off the market
by Merck a year ago, had been a blockbuster
success, with an estimated 20 million people
using it. Many were arthritis sufferers dissatisfied with other prescription pain relievers because they caused stomach pain or
bleeding.
In June 2000, Merck released the results
of a study that found Vioxx users suffered
five times as many heart attacks as users of
naproxen, an older painkiller. Merck said
that was because naproxen protected the
heart, not because Vioxx was dangerous.
The Food and Drug Administration
rebuked Merck for making that assertion
without scientific proof, and Humeston’s
lawyers have hammered at it in presenting their case.
Under questioning from Humeston attorney David Buchanan, Kronmal said Merck
misrepresented the significance of the study
when it published the findings.

Tech Titans in the

San Francisco Chronicle
The tech titans are on the
prowl.
Hoping to find new sources of
profit, gain market share, rid
themselves of competitors — and
do so while stock prices are still
relatively low — big technology
companies are looking for targets.
The merger pace hasn’t increased, but the size of the deals
has.

This year, tech companies have
announced 1,205 merger plans
worth about $70 billion, compared with 1,664 for the whole
of 2004 worth about $60 billion,
according to Thomson Financial.
Overall, more than 6,000 mergers worth roughly $714 billion
have been announced. The final
tally could reach $1 trillion, said

in tech merger, said Peterson

appearing poised to humble industry
giants, especially in telecommunications.
One was Mobile Call Manager from
Menlo Park, Calif.-based TalkPlus Inc.,
which uses Internet phone technology
over the traditional cellular network. It
makes cheap calls available on cell
phones while adding such features as
the ability to have multiple phone numbers ring on a single handset and on-the-
fly conference calling with up to 10 participants.
That’s something no wireless carrier
now offers.
CEO Jeff Black claims he’ll be able to
offer low, low rates — 2 cents a minute
for calls within the United States and
Canada — and he’s lining up multiple
carriers internationally for a Jan. 1
launch. He wouldn’t name the partners.
Jingle Networks Inc. of San Francisco sees directory assistance as another
huge market — worth an estimated $8
billion a year in the United States —
that’s ripe for the plucking.
To bypass the traditional carriers, Jingle connects callers for free to the business, government office or residence of
their choice. The trade-off for using 1800-FREE-411: Callers must first listen to a 12-second recorded pitch.
Jingle’s success will depend on its
ability to sign up local merchants. When
I called the service to get my home
phone number, the pitch I heard, after
following the voice prompts, was for Jingle itself.
The cell phone is also the key for Camden, N.J.-based Smarter Agent Inc. Its
first service, expected next year, will
deliver real estate listings to mobile
handsets based on a user’s location.
If you like a neighborhood but are
nowhere near a computer, you’ll be able
to use a map on your cell phone screen to
see what nearby houses are on the market, the asking price and other details.
You’ll even be able to search to see recent
selling prices for comparable homes in
the neighborhood. Smarter Agent, a registered Realtor, draws on the Multiple
Listing Service used by agents across
the nation on their Web sites.
Safeguarding privacy online has become an ever more serious concern with
identity theft a mounting problem. That
was reason enough for a company called
UniPrivacy Inc. to build a business on
protecting consumers proactively.
The company’s newly launched DeleteNow product will, for $2.99 per
month, remove information about you
from more than 100 online sources —
search engines and databases including Google Inc. — and check those sites
daily to make sure the information stays
off.
However, plenty of sites that might
contain personal information about you,
such as Claria Corp., aren’t cooperating, says chief executive Chaz Berman.
The more customers UniPrivacy acquires, the more clout it will have, and
Berman says it plans to eventually “out”
those sites that refuse to cooperate.
After all, “When you join we become
your legal agent.”
Poverty
From Page 1-D
The country could put Katrina behind it and
move forward as if nothing happened, said
Omowale Satterwhite of the Oakland, Calif.based National Community Development Institute.
“The other possibility is that the soul of the
country gets touched and the entire country is in
a dialogue, trying to discover a common truth
about who we are and who we want to be,” he
said.
Not that poverty is a new topic of discussion in
America.
The first almhouses, or poorhouses, were built
by the few prosperous colonialists 300 years ago
“to abate the public nuisance” of impoverished
early settlers. Periodic reforms were attempted,
but they mostly amounted to handouts from
both the private and public sector.
Poor people became an intractable — and
often overlooked — problem.
The Depression brought the problem to the
forefront, and underscored the American tendency to look away from the poor. In the 1936 movie
“My Man Godfrey,” Irene, played by actress Carole Lombard, is engaged in a society scavenger
hunt and is looking for “a forgotten man.” She
finds Godfrey, a bum played by William Powell,
living on an ash heap.
Godfrey: “Do you mind telling me just what a
scavenger hunt is?”
Irene: “Well, a scavenger hunt is exactly like a
treasure hunt, except in a treasure hunt you try
to find something you want and in a scavenger
hunt, you try to find something that nobody
wants.”
Godfrey: “Hmmm, like a forgotten man?”
It wasn’t until the riots of the 1960s that the
nation made it’s first real attempt to eradicate
the problem. A federal commission tasked with
finding the source of the unrest found that
“chronic poverty is a breeder of chronic chaos.”
In response, President Johnson declared war
on poverty.
The government focused on health care, housing and food for seniors, disabled people and
children. There was also a national Job Corps
and a new Office of Economic Opportunity. The
Model Cities program — which later became
Community Development Block Grants —
streamlined federal funds to community groups
providing everything from low-income housing to
dental care. Sargent Shriver was named chief of
staff for the war against poverty.
“They were trying to get at the root causes of
poverty, and the root causes were, as we felt it to
be, lack of educational opportunity and lack of
nation’s promise,” Bush said, in his first inaugural address.
After Hurricane Katrina, Bush made the same
point, this time noting the racial consequences.
“As all of us saw on television, there is also
some deep, persistent poverty in this region as
well,” he said. “And that poverty has roots in a
history of racial discrimination, which cut off
generations from the opportunity of America. We
didn’t leave.”
These are some of the hundreds of lines that have a duty to confront this poverty with bold
action.”

Essay becomes community
exploration of being poor
By MARTHA MENDOZA

Author, essayist and blogger John Scalzi
wanted to respond to Hurricane Katrina —
he wanted to help. And so he sat down at his
keyboard and began to write.
His essay, “Being Poor,” gives readers a
glimpse of poverty in America. And in the
weeks since he posted it on his Web site,
www.scalzi.com, the essay has become a growing, living document, as contributors from
around the world added their thoughts.
This is how it begins:
“Being poor is knowing exactly how much
everything costs.
“Being poor is getting angry at your kids
for asking for all the crap they see on TV.
“Being poor is having to keep buying $800
cars because they’re what you can afford, and
then having the cars break down on you,
because there’s not an $800 car in America
that’s worth a damn.
“Being poor is hoping the toothache goes
away...”
In it’s last lines, Scalzi writes of Katrina’s
poorest survivors, and the plight of poor people
everywhere:
“Being poor is knowing how hard it is to
stop being poor.
“Being poor is seeing how few options you
have.
“Being poor is running in place.

at Harvard University, said Johnson’s war “was

since.”

become noticeably bigger in value as giants
swallow other giants as in the case of Oracle’s
bids for PeopleSoft and Siebel.
“It makes sense that deals are getting
larger because the technology industry is
maturing,” said analyst Cindy Shaw of Moors
& Cabot. “There are less opportunities for
growth because the industry is maturing. ...
You are going to see bigger and bigger players involved in the deal.”
Three months after Oracle took over PeopleSoft in January, Adobe Systems Inc., the
San Jose maker of Acrobat and Photoshop
products, announced a plan to buy San Francisco’s Macromedia Inc. in a $3.4 billion deal.
In May, Lenovo Group Ltd. completed its
$1.25 billion purchase of IBM’s personal computer division.
In June, Sun Microsystems Inc. announced
a $4.1 billion deal to buy StorageTek, the
Colorado maker of data storage systems.
The deal closed in August.
In July, Symantec Corp., the maker of network security, closed its $10.5 billion merger
with Veritas Corp., the firm that sells software that companies use to store and manage computer data.
Del Prete of IDC said some big companies
use acquisitions as “a quick and easy way to
show growth to investors” by absorbing the
revenue stream from the target firms.
In other cases, tech giants hope to expand
their base by acquiring another firm’s customers.
Paul Hamerman, an analyst with Forrester Research, said that appears to be
what’s going on in the business applications
software market, where Oracle just bought
two major players.
Oracle Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison had said that in order to compete more
effectively with such rivals as IBM and SAP
of Germany, it needs to expand its customer
base.
With tech stocks still trading at relatively
low levels compared with the heyday of the
boom in the late 1990s and early 2000s, now
is a good time to go shopping.
“The stock market is down, so many companies are relatively inexpensive,” said analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group.
He said some tech titans are also exploring
creative ways to expand to new markets.
He cited eBay’s bid to buy Skype. The
planned merger between the online auction
giant and the popular Internet telephone
company seemed an odd fit to some, but
eBay said the merger would give its customers a new way of communicating.
“Communications is at the heart of e-commerce and community,” eBay CEO Meg
Whitman said when the deal was announced.

Tiny triplets born behind the hurricane
By PENELOPE McCLENNY
Mobile Register
Randy and Tracy Roth knew that
having triplets would be a challenge,
but they never dreamed they’d have to
deal with three newborns and a
destroyed home at the same time.
The couple evacuated their
Pascagoula home the day before Hurricane Katrina hit, and Dr. Tracy Roth
checked into the University of South
Alabama’s Children’s & Women’s Hospital just in case her pre-term contractions evolved into a bigger problem.
In the meantime, the storm swept
away their beachfront home, taking
with it a car and most of the items they
had amassed to care for three newborns.
Twelve days later and still in Mobile,
Tracy Roth gave birth to Ryan, Ella and
Emma, 10 weeks prematurely.
The Roth triplets are among the seven babies displaced by Hurricane Katrina now being treated in the Hollis J.
Wiseman Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Now the Roths are splitting their time
between the neonatal care unit and a
house they’ve just rented in the Spring
Hill area.
Dr. Randy Roth, who works with a
practice that coordinates inpatient care
at Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula,
is commuting daily to his job, and he
and his wife visit the newborns as often
as they can.
“This was a bright spot in an otherwise horrible situation,” Tracy Roth said
as she glanced toward an incubator
where Emma slept.
Tracy Roth said she and her husband
walked around in a daze for a month
after learning that they were expect-
Mike Kittrell/Mobile Register
ing triplets instead of twins.
Tracy Roth, an obstetrician and gynecologist, had been placed on bed rest a
few weeks before the storm as an
attempt to halt pre-term contractions.
The Saturday before Katrina hit, she
laid on the couch and yelled at her husband to pack up some of the family’s
photos and mementos, just in case.
Randy Roth acquiesced to what he
described as a seemingly “crazy hormonal fit” at the time. Their 110-yearold house survived Hurricane Camille,
and water had never gotten inside.
He completed what he thought was
an overly cautious preparation of the
house against the storm. He even moved
many items upstairs and off the floor, in
case the water came in.
Sunday, the couple came to Mobile,
and Tracy Roth checked into Children’s

& Women’s in case she had problems
during the storm. Considered a highrisk pregnancy because she was carrying triplets, she had already arranged to
deliver here.
When she was admitted, Tracy Roth
thought she could be released right after
the storm came through and still have a
few more weeks back at home in
Pascagoula before her delivery.
The night after Katrina hit, friends in
Pascagoula called Randy Roth and told
him it didn’t look good for his home,
saying everything south of U.S. 90 had
been devastated. The next day, Randy
Roth drove to work in Pascagoula and
went to see for himself.
When he told Tracy Roth that everything, including their car, was gone, she
said she cried for a few minutes.
“Then I had to think back and say,
‘My kids are fine, my parents are fine,
my family is fine,’” Randy Roth said.
“In reality, that’s all you have to hold
onto.”
Tracy Roth then returned to concentrating on stalling her labor as long as
possible to give the triplets the best
chance of arriving larger and healthy.
They were eventually born Sept. 10 by
Cesarean section, with Ryan weighing 3
pounds 5.5 ounces, Ella weighing 2
pounds 6 ounces and Emma at 2 pounds
5 ounces. Emma and Ella are identical.
“I feel good that I went almost two
weeks from the time of the storm,” Tracy Roth said.
The infants will likely remain in the
neonatal care unit for six to eight more
weeks, giving their tiny bodies time to
mature and gain weight. So far, they
have no major health problems outside
of their size, Tracy Roth said.
The Roths’ friends in Mobile took control after they learned that the
Pascagoula home was destroyed, the
couple said, finding them a rental house
and filling it with furnishings.
The Roths’ two older children have
been able to enroll in St. Ignatius
School.
Preparing for triplets takes a lot of leg
work, however, and many of the plans
Tracy Roth had made have fallen apart.
For instance, the couple already had
most of the strollers, cribs, clothes and
other supplies they needed, but much of
that was destroyed in the storm.
Once they found out they were expecting triplets, the Roths said their Mississippi community rallied around them.

quality healthcare
in Orient at half
the cost
By RAMOLA TALWAR BADAM
BOMBAY, India — Bradley
Thayer, a retired apple farmer
from Okanogan, Wash., traveled
7,500 miles to get his torn knee
ligament fixed, and says he paid
a third of what it would have cost
him in a U.S. hospital. And that
included air fare to Bombay.
Thayer, 60, had no health
insurance when he fell and
injured himself while summering in British Columbia. He says
his U.S. doctors told him he
would have to wait six months
for surgery and pay bills totaling $35,000. So he joined a rising
tide of American and European
patients heading to India, Thailand and Singapore for top-class
orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, infertility treatment and
cardiology that come much
cheaper than in the West.
It’s the latest in outsourcing
— Asian doctors study in the
United States or Britain, acquire
their skills and reputations in
hospitals there, then take them
back to their home countries and
wait for the business to come to
them.
“Flying halfway around the
world is cheaper,” said Thayer,
beaming from his Bombay hospital bed. “I came straight to
India. It’s a long way to come
without tests, but I feel great.”
People offered help, hand-made gifts
and became Tracy Roth’s support system.
One of the hardest parts of the
triplets’ birth was the absence of those
people, Tracy Roth said. Many back
home had lost their belongings, and
most were scattered across different
states in the aftermath.
Tracy Roth had also made arrangements for a woman from Ocean Springs,
Miss., to help out during the weeks after
the children came home, but Roth’s not
sure now where the woman even is.
Slowly, arrangements are falling into
place. Tracy Roth held back tears as
she described how the doctors and nurses at the hospital have be come her new
support system. A local group of mothers
of multiples, similar to a club she had
joined in Mississippi, are also bridging
the gaps created by the storm.
The enormity of the situation still
hits her at random times throughout
the day, she said.
“I feel like I walked into a time warp
when I walked out of this hospital,” she
said about being discharged Wednesday. “I went in the hospital pregnant, I
thought I was coming out pregnant, but
I came out not pregnant.”
Tracy Roth said she loved her former
home, and they had mulled over
whether they would add more space or
relocate to make room for the triplets.
Still, she envisioned her family growing
up in that house and grandchildren
playing there.
“As hard as this is, I think it makes
you realize that wherever you are all
together, that’s your home.”
He had never been to India,
and he first he had to overcome
the stereotypes at home.
“My friends and relatives said
I was crazy. They said, ’they’ll
cremate you along the Ganges.”’
But he already felt familiar
with Asian doctors. “In Canada
and America when you read the
names of doctors in hospitals,
every third or fourth doctor is
Indian,” he said.
Hospitals in Bombay, Delhi
and Bangalore have been taking
these so-called “medical tourists”
since the mid-1970s, initially
from the Middle East and South
Asia, later from Africa, and now
from the West.
So far, news has spread largely by word of mouth, or on Web
sites set up by patients to extol
their Indian experiences and
become vocal proponents. Now
the Indian government is getting
behind it, offering one-year medical visas extendable for an additional year, and organizing exhibitions abroad to advertise Indian hospitals.
It is also planning to create a
list of recommended hospitals.
That’s important because while
India has top-notch doctors, it is
still notorious for its filth and
poverty. Even at some top hospitals, nursing care can be poor
and hygiene standards dramatically lower than in the West. So
it’s important to shop around.
“Many foreigners are still not
completely convinced about India.
They worry about safety standards,” said Vinod Tenguria,
founder of Vedic India, a company that arranges hotels for patients.
Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mohan
Thomas, a member of the government’s council for medical
tourism, says foreign patients
need to choose carefully.
“Check the doctor’s credentials,
the hospitals he is attached to
and, most important, see some
work he has done,” advises
Thomas. “Check how much effort
the hospital takes with cleanliness starting with the bathroom.”
He says 25 percent of his
patients are from overseas, primarily Britain, the United States
and Africa.
Invariably they go to the best
private hospitals and stay in
high-end private rooms, which
are on usually on different floors
from the cheaper general wards.
India is a diverse country accustomed to huge disparities, and
although public health standards
have risen as the economy has
boomed, many poor people can’t
afford basic medicine, let alone
private hospitals. There is no
national health system, and government hospitals are overcrowded and underequipped. A
recent outbreak of encephalitis
killed more than 700 people in
small towns and villages of north
India.
“It’s always the poor who suffer
whether in India or America,”
said Sushant Mishra, a health
worker in a northern Bombay
shantytown. “We saw the poor
blacks suffering during the Katrina hurricane. They didn’t have
access to food, water or even regular medical facilities in the richest country in the world. Life’s
the same everywhere.”
India is still a relative newcomer to the international medical market, attracting 150,000
foreign patients last year, compared with Singapore’s 200,000
and Thailand’s 600,000.
Every parent knows that elementary schools are notorious
germ factories.
But professional microbiologists associated with the nonprofit “Scrub Club” did an experiment with a typical elementary school this month and
found fewer germs in places
where they might be expected
— rest rooms, desk tops and on
door handles —and far more
where even the professionals
didn’t expect to find them.
Cafeteria trays, for example,
had 10 times the germs found
on toilet seats, and higher levels
were also found on headphones
and computer keyboards. But
the highest amount of bacteria
was found on the spigot of a
drinking fountain — 2.7 million
bacterial cells per square inch.
“This was just a snapshot in
time of an average classroom at
the beginning of the year,” said
Jerry Bowman, director of communications for NSF International, a Michigan-based nonprofit that runs the Scrub Club,
a partner with the government’s
Fight BAC program to reducing bacterial infections in children ages 3 through 8.
With the annual flu season
beginning next month, Bowman
said the findings should be a
lesson to teachers and parents
about the importance of proper
hand washing. The Centers for
Disease Control estimates there
are 164 million school days lost
to illness each year, which could
be reduced with proper hand
washing.
Bowman said the survey, conducted by a professional microbiologist using standard industry procedures, showed school
janitors did a good job of cleaning toilet areas, sinks and desks,
which had low levels of bacterial infection. But less commonly
cleaned areas like computer
keyboards and cafeteria trays
because they are not commonly
believed to harbor bacteria.
“We’re trying to educate children on the most important
public health thing they can do
— wash their hands properly,”
he said.
The Scrub Club is trying to
tell children not to just swish
their hands under water, but
follow a five-step procedure that
includes rubbing soapy hands
for 20 seconds — twice the time
it takes to sing Happy Birthday — and using a nail brush.

Vioxx
From Page 1-D
“They put the impression out to the medical community that naproxen was this sort
of a miracle drug that prevented MIs,” he
said, referring to myocardial infarction, the
medical term for a heart attack.
There still is no data to support such a
conclusion, Kronmal said.
As Buchanan showed graphs plotting the
2000 study’s data on an overhead projector,
Kronmal told jurors that of the 28 study participants who suffered congestive heart failure, or decline in the heart’s pumping ability, 19 were taking Vioxx and nine naproxen.
Altogether, 15 needed hospitalization and
12 of those were on Vioxx, Kronmal said.
Of the approximate 4,000 people in the
study, 22 Vioxx users died and 15 naproxen
users died, which Kronmal said wasn’t a significant difference on its own. But coupled
with higher incidences of congestive heart
failure and high blood pressure among Vioxx
users, it should have raised a red flag, Kronmal said.

Bankruptcy: Law changes spur surge in filings
By DAVE CARPENTER
AP Business Writer
CHICAGO — File bankruptcy now — before
the law changes!
That’s the message — or exhortation — that
attorneys are making across the country, in TV
commercials, print ads and mailings, urging
Americans to seek bankruptcy court protection
before a new law makes it harder for them to
walk away from their debts.
Debtors are responding. Counting down toward
the Oct. 17 effective date for the biggest reform
in U.S. bankruptcy law in a generation, personal bankruptcy filings have jumped this month to
the highest on record. Filings averaged more
than 9,000 per day, up roughly 50 percent from
last year’s average daily volume, during the first
two weeks of September.
The number is expected to keep climbing,
reflecting a growing sense of urgency as the
deadline nears.
Attorney Melvin James Kaplan, who runs a
consumer bankruptcy practice in Chicago, hasn’t
seen a rush this big in his 48 years in the business. The volume of calls to his office has been
increasing all month and tripled in the past
week.
“It’s just getting insane,” Kaplan said. “The
information has been out there for months. I
guess people are just waiting till the last minute.”
The rush is on in every region and most states,
based on data compiled for The Associated Press
by Lundquist Consulting Inc., a Burlingame,
Calif.-based financial research firm.
The intensified interest comes from the bankruptcy law makeover signed by President Bush
on April 20, a 501-page bill that bears the markings of the Republican-dominated Congress that
passed it after an eight-year campaign headed by
the banking, credit card and retailing industries.
Among the most noteworthy of the changes are
new limitations on filing for personal bankruptcy, including barring those with above-average
income from Chapter 7 — where debts can be
wiped out entirely — except under special circumstances. Those deemed by a “means test” to
have at least $100 a month left over after paying
certain debts and expenses will have to file a 5year repayment plan under the more restrictive
Chapter 13 instead.
People also will be required to get professional credit counseling before being allowed to file.
Proponents welcome what they say is a longneeded crackdown on those who rack up credit
card debts recklessly only to shed them in Chapter 7. They maintain that abuse of the bankruptcy process results in higher interest rates for

everyone else, a “tax” averaging $400 per family
per year.
“We’ve got greater fairness now” under the
new law, said Wayne Abernathy, executive director for financial institutions policy at the American Bankers Association, an industry group
representing banks and credit card issuers.
“Where people have the means to pay, they’re
going to have to pay something.”
Opponents, however, contend it will unfairly
box in people who become buried in debt after
unexpectedly losing their jobs or suffering serious health problems. They say it rewards and
encourages the tactics of card issuers and other
lenders enticing consumers into easy debt.

law “harmful and mean-spirited.” While it will

Oct.
17.
The legislation was passed by
Congress and signed into law
by President Bush in April
after an eight-year campaign
by banks, retailers and credit
card companies.
A major provision of the law
sets up an income test for
determining whether people
can have their debts canceled
in exchange for forfeiting certain assets or if they must
repay them under a courtordered plan. The change will
affect an estimated 30,000 to
210,000 people a year, and
there already has been a rush
to the courthouse by those
wishing to file for bankruptcy
under the current law, which
generally allows federal bankruptcy judges leeway to determine the fate of debtors’ assets
and how much they must repay.
Financial services companies
and other proponents of the
change have maintained that
the bankruptcy process has
been abused by gamblers, compulsive shoppers and multimillionaires who buy mansions
in states with liberal homestead exemptions to shelter
assets from creditors. They say
the abuse has resulted in higher interest rates for everyone
else.
Opponents have said the
new law will fall especially
hard on low-income working
people, single mothers, minorities and the elderly and will
remove a safety net for those
who have lost their jobs or face
mounting medical bills.
Among the changes made by
the new law:
• It sets up a new test for
measuring a debtor’s ability to
repay. People with insufficient
assets or income can still file a
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which if
approved by a judge erases
debts entirely after certain
assets are forfeited. But those
with income above their state’s
median income who can pay
at least $6,000 over five years
— $100 a month — will be
forced into Chapter 13, under
which a judge orders a repayment plan.
In calculating income, people filing for bankruptcy may
deduct various expenses as
defined by the Internal Revenue Service, including food
and clothing, and some health
and disability insurance expenses.
• People seeking bankruptcy
protection are required to take
credit counseling courses within 180 days, or about six
months, of filing.
• It gives priority to a
spouse’s claims for child support among creditors’ claims
on a debtor in bankruptcy.
• The law allows for special
accommodations for activeduty service members, lowincome veterans and those
with serious medical conditions
in the new income test for
bankruptcy applicants.
• The law supersedes the
unlimited homestead exemptions in states including Florida, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Texas that allow
wealthy people to file for bankruptcy and keep their mansions sheltered from creditors.
The law limits the exemption
to $125,000 if the person in
bankruptcy bought his or her
residence less than three years
and four months before filing.
• 0It also requires billing
statements for credit card
accounts to include an example
of how long it would take to
pay off a balance at a specific
interest rate if only minimum
payments are made.
The law also makes it
tougher for businesses that file
for bankruptcy protection:
• The law limits the exclusivity period, the 18-month
span during which a company
in Chapter 11 has the sole
right to propose a reorganization plan. Debtor companies
are no longer given unlimited
extensions of the exclusivity
period.
• It limits the ability of companies to give lucrative pay
packages as a way of retaining top executives.
• Companies must decide
within 210 days, or seven
months, whether they will
keep or relinquish leases on
property.
• Creditors can seek to have
a Chapter 7 liquidation filing
dismissed or converted to a
debt reorganization plan under Chapter 11.
trap people and businesses that got into financial trouble through little or no fault of their
own and block people’s realistic chances at starting over.
And some economists say that taking away the
traditional “fresh start” option from those middle-income people will be harmful to the U.S.
economy, which has benefited greatly from entrepreneurial and other risk-taking.
Businesses seeking to reorganize could feel
the law’s changes more acutely than many consumers.
Big businesses must complete their debt overhauls within 18 months or lose control of the
process, with mom-and-pop ventures also put on
a fast track. Severe restrictions on pay packages
now routinely awarded to top employees in
bankruptcy may make it difficult to keep senior
management in place.
But it’s the impending change in personal
bankruptcy requirements that have struck the
biggest nerve with the public.
The number of personal bankruptcies leaped
to an all-time high in the second quarter, when
the legislation was passed, and the surge has
since accelerated. About 1.24 million filings had
been made nationwide in 2005 through Sept. 17,
reflecting a 9.2 percent increase over last year
and closing in on the record of 1.62 million filings
in 2003, said Lundquist Consulting.
Thirty-seven states have seen double-digit
percentage jumps in personal bankruptcy filings since March, when the initial surge began
with the legislation’s passage by Congress. Seven states — Alaska, West Virginia, North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado and South Dakota — had increases of more than 25 percent
over the same period a year ago; only South
Carolina, Utah and Virginia saw declines.
Every weekday, scores of people arrive at a federal office in downtown Chicago where they sit
quietly in an anteroom, waiting for the five- to
10-minute session with a trustee that will launch
the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process and — they
hope — wipe out their debts.
Lately, it takes three trustees to handle the
daily crush at the U.S. Trustee Program, the
agency that enforces bankruptcy laws. Ron
Peterson, a Chicago attorney who also is
retained by the program as a Chapter 7 trustee,
is scheduled to hear 66 cases in a single day
later this month.
“I’m seeing cases that wouldn’t have been
filed a year ago,” he said. “Mostly poor people,
but also somebody with a $4 million house in
Kenilworth,” a wealthy Chicago suburb.
Chris Szurgot, whose bankruptcy case was
heard on a recent day, couldn’t afford to wait.
Like the vast majority of all Chapter 7 filers, the
44-year-old suburban Chicago man earns less
than the median income and wouldn’t be prohibited from filing under the same chapter when
the law changes. But the rash of commercials
prompted him to pick up the phone and call his
attorney.
“I thought I’d better go check it out,” said
Szurgot as he waited for his name to be called by
a trustee. “Because if I can’t do it, I’m going to be
stuck.”
Szurgot, of Crestwood, Ill., said he has run up
$50,000 in unpaid medical bills — even with
insurance — for treatment of a rare disorder and
he can’t begin to pay them off from his annual
income of roughly half that as a heating and air
conditioning maintenance worker.
“I’m not poverty-stricken but I’m a single parent with bills,” going $400 deeper in the hole
every month due to his obligations, he said.
Single parents and those overwhelmed by
medical bills are among those that opponents of
the bankruptcy law revisions claim will be hurt
most. Expensive illnesses lead to about half of all
personal bankruptcies, according to a Harvard
University study released in February. Consumers Union found separately that single
mothers trying to make ends meet comprise a
large portion of the filers.
Kenneth Klee, a UCLA law professor and former Republican staffer for the House Judiciary
Committee who helped draft the last bankruptcy
law overhaul in the 1970s, predicts the new law
will have “a profound negative effect” that
extends well beyond the debtors.
“If debtors aren’t going to be able to get a
fresh start, not only is it bad for our economy but
it’s bad for the non-bankrupt sector,” he said.
“You’re going to have people going into the
underground economy, not paying their taxes;
they’ll be dispirited and there will be more
crime.”
Hurricane Katrina victims may face especially tricky barriers to bankruptcy because of
the new law’s requirements for more extensive
documentation and stricter deadlines. House
and Senate Democrats are pushing for Congress to delay the effective date and ease some
requirements.
An AP-Ipsos poll found that 61 percent of
respondents favored a delay in the law’s implementation in light of the large numbers of people who may need to seek bankruptcy protection
because of Katrina. The telephone poll of 1,000
adults in 48 states was conducted Sept. 16-18 by
Ipsos, an international polling company, and
had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

HealthSouth whistleblower sentenced to prison
By JAY REEVES
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The main
whistleblower in the accounting fraud at
HealthSouth Corp. got the longest sentence
so far in the case, while another former
executive received probation Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Robert Propst sentenced former finance chief Weston Smith to
27 months in prison, ordered him to pay
$1.5 million in forfeited assets and spend
one year on probation after his release.
The judge acknowledged the wide range
of sentences that have been imposed in the
HealthSouth case and almost invited an
appeal to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Atlanta.
“If they determine my sentence is unreasonable, I won’t get mad at anybody,” the
judge said.
Defense lawyer Bill Baxley said he would
have to talk to Smith before deciding
whether to appeal. Smith sat quietly at the
defense table and cried when the judge sentenced him to prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James Ingram,
who asked the judge for a five-year sentence, said Smith was the first person to
reveal a $2.7 billion fraud at the rehabilitation and medical services chain and would
deserve an even longer term had he not
come forward when he did.
“Mr. Smith was the first person in the
door, so to speak,” said Ingram.
Smith pleaded guilty to conspiracy, fraud
and violating the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reporting law, passed in 2002 in
response to a wave of corporate crimes.
But attorneys for Smith sharply criticized the recommendation, saying prosecutors were asking for the most severe punishment yet in the HealthSouth scam even
though the fraud may never have come to
light without Smith’s decision to go to the
FBI in early 2003.
The defense claimed prosecutors were
trying to make an example of Smith, 45,
because of the acquittal of fired HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy, whom Smith
and four other CFOs testified was the leader
of the fraud.
“It’s not his fault Richard Scrushy didn’t
get convicted,” Baxley said.
In a separate session, Propst sentenced
former HealthSouth investments vice president Will Hicks to two years on probation,
three months of house arrest and $52,600 in
forfeitures, fines and court assessments for
his role in the fraud.

Employers give back
by hiring evacuees
By KATHERINE
REYNOLDS LEWIS
Newhouse News Service
Just as Americans are opening their checkbooks and homes
to survivors of Hurricane Katrina, business owners across the
country are offering jobs to some
of the more than half-million
people whose livelihoods were
swept away.
In cities with large shelters
for evacuees, job fairs organized
by relief agencies make the
process easier. But far-flung
employers face the challenge of
locating and interviewing qualified workers who have no home
address to put on a resume,
much less a reliable Internet or
phone connection.
“How does someone 1,000
miles away actually help?”
asked Tom Dixon, president of I.
Auman Machine Co., a precision machine shop in Lebanon,
Pa.
Dixon has four job openings
at hourly wages starting around
$12, with the potential for raises to $18. “We’re always looking to train and bring people
on,” he said.
He has contacted the Red
Cross and Salvation Army,
Louisiana’s Labor Department,
staffing agencies and politicians
and posted notices on
www.craigslist.org, but so far
has had no takers. Positions for
displaced workers are also flooding to www.katrinajobs.com,
hurricanerelief.monster.com,
and specific industry Web sites.
Charline Spektor and her husband grew up hearing about
their parents’ rescue from the
Holocaust by American strangers who arranged jobs and
work visas. So it seemed natural
to offer positions at their three
BookHampton bookstores on
Long Island and to encourage
other merchants to follow suit.
“People’s lives have been completely ripped out. They lost their
homes; they lost their livelihoods;
their children have been destabilized,” Spektor said.
The first evacuee is soon to
arrive. He’ll work as a bookseller
and his fiancee will be a receptionist. They’ll live with their
pygmy goat in a donated house.
The hiring process was a little
unusual — no reference checks
because of the difficulty in reaching former employers in the hurricane zone — but Spektor could
tell from a phone interview that
the candidate knew books. “He
called back three times, that was
the employment test,” she said.
Other employers agreed that
communicating with hurricane
survivors was the most difficult
part of hiring them. Even evacuees with cell phones may have
sporadic service, and many can’t
frequently check e-mail.
Companies also are encountering reluctance to commit to
new lives in distant places. People may have survived the storm
with nothing but their family
ties intact. Many are waiting for
insurance claims to come
through or to return home to
gather any salvageable belongings.
Mary Bates, 39, was a caterer
for Messina’s Restaurant in New
Orleans when the hurricane hit.
Her employer wants her to come
back to work at a different location in the area.
But now that Bates has evacuated to Washington, D.C., with
four family members and two
friends, the lifelong Louisianian
wants to wait and see what happens with the rest of her group.
“We’re sticking it out together,”
she said. “My mind don’t stay
focused long enough to get a job.”
Complicating the turmoil for
the evacuees is that many employers want only long-term
hires.
“I don’t want to train someone for six months and then have
them go back when it’s all dried
out,” said Peter Cohen, owner of
Asset Servicing Corp. in Long
Beach, N.Y. The woman he’s flying in for an interview told him
she never wants to return to
New Orleans.
Stuart Phillips, a recruiter
with Management Recruiters in
Seattle, is looking to hire civil
engineers to fill permanent jobs
in Seattle and Portland, Ore.
“When I saw how bad things
were down in New Orleans, it
was obvious that there were
going to be people who were not
going to be able to move back
there or would not want to,”
Phillips said. “I didn’t want people to have to get stuck in just
taking a job somewhere so they’d
be able to eat, when they could
go somewhere nice and start a
life.”
At eMazzanti Technologies, a
computer network consultant in
Hoboken, N.J., new employees
receive so much training to
become certified that they must
repay education costs if they quit
within one year, co-owner Jennifer Shine said. She has talked
to many hurricane survivors
eager to move; they seem desperate for jobs.
“Some of the cover letters are
just incredible,” she said. “Over
and over we read or heard the
phrase, ‘I can move in 24 hours,
I have nothing left here.”’
Job hunters with specialized
skills are advised to check with
their unions, professional associations or trade groups. Many
industry organizations have set
up networks to provide jobs,
housing and other resources.

Seattle, pleaded guilty to lying to auditors
and maintaining false records. Prosecutors
said Hicks’ actions didn’t cost investors any
money, and they didn’t recommend a sentence for Hicks.
Hicks, 40, became the ninth former
HealthSouth executive to get probation and
avoid prison for an accounting scheme that
brought the Birmingham-based company to
the edge of bankruptcy.
The most severe penalties handed down
in the case so far were five months imprisonment for a former assistant controller,
Emery Harris, and three months for Aaron
Beam, HealthSouth’s first CFO and a cofounder of the company with Scrushy.
Another former finance chief, Mike Martin, was sentenced to one week in prison
earlier this week, and a fourth, Tadd McVay,
received probation.
A fifth CFO to work under Scrushy, Bill
Owens, is scheduled to be sentenced in
November.
Smith’s lawyers argued that Propst would
hurt future investigations by sentencing
Smith to a tougher sentence than other former HealthSouth executives since he was
the first to report the fraud, revealed amid
an unrelated investigation into alleged
insider trading by Scrushy and others.

walk from the federal courthouse building in Birmingham,
Ala. Martin was sentenced to seven days in prison and
two years of supervised release for his involvement in the
