By MICHAEL LIEDTKE
PASCAGOULA — By early
2007, motorists will be using
a six-lane, dual span high-rise
bridge to cross the Biloxi Bay
between Ocean Springs and
Biloxi, state Highway Commissioner Wayne Brown said
Thursday.
Brown said the Mississippi
Department of Transportation
is expected to award a bid in
either late November or early
December to build the bridge to
replace the current drawbridge
spanning the bay, which was
destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. He said the project is esti-
mated to cost $200 million.
Brown also said Columbia,
Miss.-contractor T.I. Wallace
has poured the concrete on the
Interstate 10 long bridge over
the Pascagoula River. He said
the $4.2 million project could
be finished next week, with the
bridge opening to traffic in early October.
Brown said the U.S. 90 project will be bid as a designbuild, which means the winning company and its engineers will design and the build
the bridge.
“The bridge will actually be
two bridges. We expect to have
one span completed in 12 to 14
months,” and the other span
two months later, said Brown
adding that both spans would
be open to traffic in 2007.
He said the spans will be
built on the site of the current
bridge.
“If we were to use a different
location, we would have to purchase the rights of way,” he
said. “People may have lost
their homes and some of their
property, but they haven’t lost
their property rights. There are
a lot of things that we would
like to change with that bridge,
but it would take 18 months
to get the rights of way and we
can’t take that long. This is a
case where expediency and the
public need take priority.”

TRAILERS, BUT NO KEYS
Forced from their homes by Katrina,
residents play waiting game with FEMA

trailers to be patient
The Associated Press
By BRAD CROCKER
SAN FRANCISCO — Chevron Corp.’s shares reached a
new 52-week high Thursday
as investors shook off the
news that $350 million in
third-quarter profit evaporated in Hurricane Katrina and
bet the aftermath’s higher
energy prices will offset the
oil company’s short-term pain.
The San Ramon, Calif.based company quantified the
financial blow to its Pascagoula refinery after the stock
market closed Wednesday.
The refinery has been closed
since Hurricane Katrina battered the Gulf Coast on Aug.
29, and Chevron does not expect to renew limited production there until the middle of
next month.
But that setback has been
cu s h i o ne d b y t he en er g y
shortages that have followed
the Katrina’s destruction,
boosting the prices of both oil
and natural gas to the benefit
of Chevron and the industry’s
other major players.
The stock market has essentially concluded that Chevron
stands to benefit more from
PASCAGOULA — Bobby
and Karen Johnson are sleeping in the bed of their flooded
1992 Dodge Dakota truck.
The travel trailer they received from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for
temporary housing is parked
less than 15 feet away in the
front yard of the Clairmont
Avenue home they’ve owned
for 28 years.
They received the trailer on
Sept. 21. Electricity was connected to it on the 25th. But
they have no keys to enter.
“We haven’t seen anybody
since the 25th,” Karen Johnson, 59, said.
“Can’t get in it at all,” her
husband, 52, who would like to
enter so he could refrigerate
his insulin and treat his diabetes easier, agreed.
“If we could get in it we’d
sleep in it because that pickem-up truck is getting old,”
mused Karen Johnson, referring to the makeshift home
they’ve made in the truck,
complete with a mattress, tarp
over the truck’s camper shell
and box fans strapped over the
tire wells.
“You can’t leave because
somebody might come by

GAUTIER — For the hundreds of local families waiting

with electricity, water and
sewer service, officials say
patience is a virtue.
In an effort to head off complaints of trailers being delivered but left unusable, federal housing officials have designated the units as a priority for services.
Hundreds of Jackson County families were left homeless after Hurricane Katrina
slammed into the Gulf Coast
on Aug. 29.
“People that are moving the
trailers, they are good at moving trailers but not that good
at hooking them up,” said Pat
Kidder, director of FireSafe
Council — 50 public and private organizations, including
the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the
American Red Cross — whose
mission is to provide aid during natural or man-made disasters.
Incoming trailers, arriving
at an estimated 200 per day
in Jackson County, will not
be d e l i v e r e d u n ti l u n i ts

SBA officials give quick course on disaster assistance loans
By JOHN SURRATT
GULFPORT — The Small Business
Administration’s administrator and the
head of its disaster assistance division
conducted a seminar Thursday afternoon for Coast officials and businessmen
on SBA’s disaster assistance loan program.
At 2.6 percent, SBA’s low-interest disaster assistance loans are the primary
source of funds for people trying to
rebuild after a natural disaster.
LOCAL, 4-A
Jackson County schools
to reopen Monday
Individuals are allowed to borrow up
to $200,000 for home repairs and
$40,000 for personal property. Homeowners can receive an additional 20
percent of the loan value for home projects to mitigate future damages.
Renters are eligible for a disaster
assistance loan up to $40,000 for personal property lost during the storm.
The SBA loans are the only source of
disaster assistance available to businesses, which are ineligible to receive
grants from the Federal Emergency
SPOR TS, 1-B
Management Agency.
Business owners, regardless of the
size of the business, can borrow up to
$1.5 million per business, including
damage to personal property inventory
and economic injury loss because customers were unable to get to the business after the storm.
SBA Administrator Hector Barreto
said it is possible that some loans may
be repaid over a 30-year period.
“The money for the disaster assistance loans comes from a different

out of money; the SBA has a special
fund for disasters, and if that fund
begins to run low, we can go to Congress and seek a supplemental appropriation.”
He added that the SBA also offers
training and counseling programs to
businesses.

guitar in the attic before evacuating. Floodwaters reached 8 feet inside his house. The guitar, one of Treadway's
only salvaged possessions, was purchased for him in 1966 by his father.
■ Nov. 8 vote will
fill District 3 seat
formerly held by
Orville Cochran
By ROYCE ARMSTRONG
LUCEDALE — Registered
voters in George County’s District 3 will go to the polls Nov. 8
to fill a vacancy on the Board of
Supervisors.
Supervisor Orville Cochran
died March 20 during his third
term on the governing board.
His widow, Sue Cochran, was
appointed to fill his position
until a special election could
be held.
“State law mandates when a
county may hold special elections,” said county attorney
Robert Shepard, “and that is
on the first Tuesday following
the first Monday in November.”
Three candidates filed to run
in the special election: Sue
Cochran, Michael T. Chesteen
and L.N. Howell.
“This election is very important,” said Gerry Williams, a
resident in District 3. “All elections are important. Elections
for supervisors are important
because these are the people
who manage the government
of the county.”
George County Board of
Supervisors President Kelly
Wright agreed.
“This is a very important
election,” he said. “The people
of District 3 need to think
about the person who will do
the best job for them and for
the county as a whole. People
often think of the supervisor
as the person in charge of roads
and garbage collection, but this
job is much more than that.”
Wright added, “The person
elected should have the drive to
understand the business of the
county, county finances and the
need to attract industry to our
area.”
Only voters in District 3 are
allowed to cast ballots in the
special election. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 8.
There are four polling places
in the district; the Barton Fire
Station, the Basin Fire Station,
the old Davis school and the
multi-purpose building at the
George County Fairgrounds.

■ Cell phone companies
FOR HELP
working to restore service
By AMANDA CREEL
System busy messages and busy signals
are now a common reminder of the communication failures that have existed on
the Mississippi Gulf Coast since Hurricane Katrina made landfall on Aug. 29.
The Category 4 storm ripped away the
ability to communicate by destroying cell
phone towers and landline phone systems.
BellSouth is working to restore all phone
service to customers in the Mississippi
Gulf Coast. According to Rick Stewart,
regional manager of BellSouth, about 6,500
residents of Jackson County are still without phone service.
“We are first making temporary repairs
to get people back in service, but we will
actually be repairing and restoring our
network for a while to come,” Stewart said.
Stewart encourages people who have
relocated because of the storm to consider
their options, such as transferring, suspending or disconnecting their phone service.
However, a month after the storm,
things are looking up as cell phone companies establish temporary cell sites and
work to improve on the existing networks.
“We used the opportunity to go in and
update our networks after the storm, so the
network that Mississippi ends up with will
be better than what they had before the
storm,” said Patrick Kimball, a spokesperson for Verizon Wireless.
For those who are still experiencing
problems with their cell phone service, cell
phone companies offer several hints to
help make the connection with friends and
family.
“If someone gets a fast busy signal or a

message telling you that you were unable
to connect your phone call, you should
hang up and then wait at least 10 seconds
and make the call again,” said Dawn Benton, spokesperson for Cingular Wireless.
Another tip according to many of the
cell phone companies is to use text messages as an alternative to voice calls when
lines or systems are busy.
Cell phone companies say that most of
the problems wireless phone users are
experiencing now is because of congestion
on the networks.
Customers that are experiencing problems with their cell phone service should
contact their cellular service provider.
“I encourage all our customers to call
and report problems so our technicians
can know where the problems are and can
work to solve them,” said Kristin Wallace,
spokesperson for Nextel and Sprint Wire-
less companies.
Most cell phone companies are not only
working to restore communication networks, but they are also wiping away
charges for roaming, overages and long
distance charges for their cell phone customers.
“It comes up to one month of free service
for our customers, for those affected by
the storm, and several other benefits,” said
Peter Dobrow, spokesperson for T-Mobile.
BellSouth will also be working with its
customers on billing issues on an individual basis, Stewart said.
“Anyone who has had or does have an
inoperable line will be credited back for
the time they went without service,” Stewart said.
Many companies have also halted the
suspension of accounts temporarily
because of lack of payment.
Many cell phone companies are also
allowing their customers to make donations to the Red Cross for the Hurricane
Katrina Relief effort by simply sending a
text message.
“We have also provided away for our
other customers to give to Hurricane Katrina Relief. All they have to do is to text the
word ‘give’ to the number 24357 and their
tax deductible donation will be added to
their bill,” said Larry White, Alltel
spokesperson.
Most cell phone companies expect to be
back functioning at 100 percent or more in
the next few weeks other are already functioning at full capacity.
“Basically, we were up and running at
100 percent on Sept. 9. Our goal was to get
up by Sept. 12 and we surpassed it,” said
Richard Reynolds, Cellular South area
manager for South Mississippi.

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

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

Removing mold with a human touch
By NATALIE CHAMBERS
GAUTIER — Mold is getting
to be some nasty stuff in Jackson County and a group of outof-town church volunteers are
here to get rid of it.
Volunteers of Jackson County
Volunteers Reception Center are
quite visible from their camp
behind St. Paul United
Methodist Church at Miss. 57
and U.S. 90 in Ocean Springs.
They are ready and skilled to
provide some much needed
services — from removing wet
sheetrock and insulation to
clearing debris.
“We’ve been all up and down
the coast and seen some incredible devastation,” said coordinator Mike Malkemes of Houston, Texas. “What we’re trying
to do now is save as many houses as we can before the black
mold gets too bad. Some of these
houses had eight to 10 feet of
water in them. We sanitize the
house with (bleach) after we are
done, to kill that mold.”
“Once we’ve done that, we
want to start the rebuilding
phase where we will put new
sheetrock back in,” Malkemes
said.
The faith-based group has
cleaned and sanitized more
than 100 houses and churches
in Jackson County. They’ve
cleared about 200 houses of
trees and debris.
Malkemes said volunteers are
steadily flowing into the county.
“We are going to have over
220 volunteers here this weekend. We hope to keep more than
200 (volunteers) here every day
for the rest of the year,” he said.
Jackson County is the group’s
target area.
“We’re mostly focused on
Jackson County but we are taking calls farther out. Once we
get up to 200 volunteers a day,
we’ll make a greater impact,”
he said.

in Jackson County began at the

Church, and another church in

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

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

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

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

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

But Barbour is pushing the federal government to pick up as many expenses as possible for
Mississippi’s hurricane recovery. He said Mississippi might send the wrong message to Congress
by saying now how much the state might be willing to spend.
Tens of thousands of Mississippi Coast homes
were destroyed when Hurricane Katrina came
ashore Aug. 29 with a storm surge that
approached 30 feet. Many homeowners and
renters did not have flood insurance because they
did not live in the federally drawn flood zone.

LaSalle said.
Clavelle said if Burlington
can help with municipal equipment and expertise, it will.
For the long term, Burlington, through the Institute for
Sustainable Communities, similar to Moss Point’s Institute of
Compatible Development, will
share ideas and experiences
that could help Moss Point.
Burlington’s strategy has involved generating new sources
of public revenue, ensuring a
publicly controlled waterfront,
producing permanently affordable housing, stabilizing residential neighborhoods, reducing energy consumption, requiring the recycling of solid waste
and removing barriers preventing women and minorities
from enjoying the fruits of economic growth, Clavelle said.
Betsy Clavelle videotaped
testimonies from directors of
several Moss Point nonprofit
organizations, to be used in a
documentary produced by a
Burlington television station.
Burlington, Vermont’s largest
city, has in past years adopted
Nicaragua, Russia and the Middle Eastern city of Bethlehem.
“Following the hurricane,
Vermonters were very generous. There were more than 15
trailers that were collected in
Vermont. There were a signifi-

cant amount of fund-raisers for
non-profit organizations, including Red Cross. But in Burlington, we said we wanted to do
more, but in a way that was
more personable and would
allow us to build long-term relations with a community,” Clavelle said.
The city first made contact
with the Mississippi Municipal
League. Eventually leads and
discussions brought them to
Moss Point.
“We heard they had a need
and two, a desire to establish
this long-term relationship. And
here we are,” Clavelle said.
A kickoff concert, called the
Hurricane Benefit, generated
more than $20,000 in donations, which will go into the
Moss Point Relief Fund.
“We’re in it for the long haul.
We hope there can be connections built between organizations. We’d like to connect
churches of our communities,
Boys and Girls Clubs and
schools of our two communities
and families and just learn
from each other. I think in the
process, both of our communities will be stronger,” Clavelle
said.
GULFPORT — Some proclaim the wearer a “Certified
Hurricane Veteran.” Others
state, “I survived the big one —
Hurricane Katrina.”
The T-shirts popping up for
sale at stands along a highway
once smack in Katrina’s path
offer travelers a chance to get
souvenirs of the catastrophe,
but some are just getting
offended.
“It’s disgusting,” said Mary
Ann Martino, whose home was
badly damaged yet is providing
shelter for a dozen friends who
are even worse off. “People are
making money off what we’ve
been through.”
Small businesses have
sprung up in towns near the
coast along U.S. 49, selling souvenirs of the storm that killed
more than 1,000 people and
displaced as many as 1 million
in Mississippi and Louisiana.
The reaction to the vendors
has been mixed.
Wayne and Melissa Rogers
stopped at a stand Wednesday
and paid $45 for three shirts,
including one for their 2-yearold son, Zavier.
“We’re going to save it for
him,” said Mrs. Rogers, 21, of
Gulfport. “We have a trunk of
stuff we’ve saved since he was
born, things he can remember.”

over: eBay has “My Heart’s in

$2.50 each. Some sellers say
they will contribute to hurricane relief.
T-shirts have been sold after
other hurricanes. One from
Florida, which was pounded
by four hurricanes last year,
had a drawing of a house and
the words: “1. Charley, 2.
Frances, 3. Ivan, 4. Sale.”
Still, selling T-shirts amid
the Gulf Coast devastation
rubs some people the wrong
way.
Looking at a T-shirt stand
from a nearby convenience
store, Clarence Breaux wasn’t
biting. He survived Katrina by
putting on a life preserver
inside his home near the beach
in Biloxi and doesn’t need a
reminder of the horror of that
day.
“That’s the last thing I
want,” said Breaux. “I’m lucky
to have the shirt I’ve got on.”
One of the busiest stands is
run by Dave Anderson and
Kent Rybolt, both of Fort
Wayne, Ind.
Some travelers stop and
shop, and a few voice their displeasure.
“We had one lady drive by
and yell, ’You should be
ashamed of yourself. People
died out there,”’ Anderson said.
The stand is within a mile of
heavily damaged businesses
and homes.

The floats are ready — but are the people — for Mardi Gras?
By DAN SEWELL
NEW ORLEANS — Inside a
sprawling riverside warehouse,
giant-size Elvis, Yoda, Chuckie
and scores of floats look ready to
roll, although The Mummy,
Wicked Witch and Dracula will
need some repair work from
Hurricane Katrina’s winds.
Blaine Kern, dubbed “Mr.
Mardi Gras” after more than
five decades of involvement in
New Orleans’ most famous
annual event, isn’t worried
about having plenty of floats
ready.
But he and other veteran
leaders of the annual preLenten bacchanal face other
challenges as they work on
plans to keep next year’s Mardi
Gras from being blown away.
Much of the city’s population is
scattered, hotel rooms are
scarce, and organizers are dealing with their own personal
Katrina issues in their homes
and businesses.
“It’s going to be a problem,”
Blaine Kern, also known
as ‘Mr. Mardi Gras’ points
at some of the damage to
the ‘Sinbad’ float at his
Mardi Gras World warehouse in New Orleans
Thursday. After more than
five decades of involvement in New Orleans'
most famous annual
event, Kern is confident
he could have plenty of
parade floats ready by
the time Mardi Gras rolls
around in February.
AP
acknowledged Kern. “But everybody says: We have to go this
year, of all years.”

New Orleans police launch
investigation into reports
some officers looted
By ADAM NOSSITER
NEW ORLEANS — The police department said Thursday it
is investigating a dozen officers
in connection with looting during the lawlessness that
engulfed the city after Hurricane Katrina.
News reports in the aftermath
of the storm put officers at the
scene of some of the heaviest
looting, at the Wal-Mart in the
Lower Garden District. Some
witnesses, including a TimesPicayune reporter, said police
were taking items from shelves.
“Once we actually got the
video, we started our investigation,” acting Police Superintendent Warren Riley said at a
news conference. “The investigation does in fact show police
officers with some items.”
Of the 12 officers under investigation, four have already
been suspended for failing to
stop looting, Riley said.
“It was not clear that they in
fact looted,” Riley said of the
four suspended officers. “What is
clear is that some action needed
to be taken and it was not.”
Riley drew a distinction between taking useful items such
as food and jeans, which he contended didn’t amount to looting
in a crisis, and taking luxuries
such as jewelry.
He said incidents in which
officers took Cadillacs from a
dealer’s lot were not looting because the officers patrolled in
the cars.
Earlier this week, the city’s
police superintendent, Eddie
Compass, resigned after weeks
of criticism about the department’s conduct during Katrina
and its aftermath. On the same
day, the department said about
250 police officers could face discipline for leaving their posts
without permission during the
crisis.
Meanwhile, business owners
started streaming back into
newly reopened sections of the
city Thursday morning at Mayor Ray Nagin’s invitation, some
vowing to rebuild, some saying
they were pulling out.
The areas thrown open to
business owners were: the
French Quarter; the central
business district; and the Uptown section, which includes the
Garden District, a leafy neighborhood of antebellum and Victorian mansions. The neighborhoods escaped major flooding
during Katrina.
Under the mayor’s plan, residents of those neighborhoods
will be allowed to return on Friday, a move that could bring
back about one-third of the city’s
half-million inhabitants.
At Igor’s, a pub and coin laundry in the Garden District, owner Halina Margan returned after
Katrina and never left, despite
Hurricane Rita’s threat last
week. She was ready to open for
business on Thursday.
“It’s lonely here. We need people,” she said.
Blues music poured out the
door of Slim Goodies diner,
where by 10 a.m., owner Kappa
Horn had already served pancakes, bacon and eggs over easy
on plastic plates to more than
100 people.
“This is the first hot meal I’ve
had in a month,” said George
Wichser, a Tulane University
police officer who rode out the
storm on campus.
Mary Russo parked her car
in front of Shanty Too, her
niece’s boarded-up boutique on
chic Magazine Street, and started to cry. Her niece could not
bear to come, so Russo and other relatives were there to close
the shop for good and bring anything salvageable to her other
store closer to Baton Rouge.
“I just can’t believe this has
happened to the city,” Russo
said. “So much of this could have
been avoided.”
The mayor is pushing aggressively to reopen the city despite
concerns raised by state and federal officials.
Serious health hazards remain because of bacteria-laden
floodwaters, a lack of drinkable
water and a sewage system that
still does not work, said Stephen
L. Johnson, chief of the Environmental Protection Agency.
“There are a whole lot of factors that need to be weighing
on the mayor’s mind,” Johnson
said.

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

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

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

mont and half of the 44 Democrats
supported him.
He said he would try to “pass on to
my children’s generation a charter of
self-government as strong and as
vibrant as the one that Chief Justice
Rehnquist passed on to us.”
“What Daniel Webster termed the
miracle of our Constitution is not
something that happens in every generation, but every generation in its
turn must accept the responsibility of
supporting and defending the Constitution and bearing true faith and allegiance to it,” Roberts said.
A crowd including seven of the eight
sitting justices, Roberts’ parents, Rosemary and John Sr., children John and
Josephine, Senate supporters and
White House well-wishers erupted
stood and applauded as Roberts kissed
his wife and shook Stevens’ hand. The
audience also included Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and White
House counsel Harriet Miers, both of
whom have been mentioned as candidates for O’Connor’s seat.
Roberts took a separate judicial oath
during a private White House ceremony attended by the other justices. A
formal Supreme court ceremony was
scheduled for Monday, before the opening of the term.
O’Connor, a moderate voice on the
Supreme Court and one of only two
women, is leaving after 24 years. It is
the first time in 34 years that a president has had simultaneous high court
openings.
The president originally named
Roberts to succeed O’Connor in July.
Rehnquist’s death led to the switch
to Roberts for the chief justice on Sept.
6. O’Connor remains on the court until
the president selects a replacement
and that person is confirmed by the
Republican-controlled Senate.
The only justice not at the White
House was Antonin Scalia. He had a
previous engagement that could not be
broken, a court spokeswoman said.
According the Federalist Society Web
site, he was leading a two-day seminar
on the separation of powers in Avon,
Colo.
Not since John Marshall, confirmed
in 1801 at 45, has there been a
younger chief. Roberts is the first new
Supreme Court justice since 1994.
Before becoming a federal appeals
court judge, he was one of the nation’s
best appellate lawyers, arguing 39
cases — many in front of the same
eight justices he will now lead as chief.
He won 25 of those cases.
Under Roberts, the court will tackle such issues as assisted suicide,
campaign finance law and abortion
this year, with questions about religion, same-sex marriage, the government’s war on terrorism and human
cloning looming in the future.
Said Senate Majority Leader Bill
Frist, R-Tenn: “For many years to
come, long after many of us have left
public service, the Roberts court will
be deliberating on some of the most
difficult and fundamental questions
of U.S. law.”
MADD targets complacency after 25 years
By KEN THOMAS
WASHINGTON — When a grieving
mother started a grass-roots organization
in 1980, alcohol mixed with driving was
killing more than 70 people a day but
receiving little national attention.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving made it
personal. Focusing on the stories of victims
and their families, MADD quickly spread
into more than 300 communities, helped
persuade Congress to raise the drinking
age and ended up getting the term “designated driver” into the dictionary.
“Twenty-five years ago, drunk driving
was the last socially acceptable form of
murder in America,” says MADD president Glynn Birch, the organization’s first
male president. “And those pioneers of
MADD set out to change that.”
The advocacy group celebrated 25 years
on Thursday with a rally on Capitol Hill,
claiming to have helped save 300,000 lives.
It said it aims to keep cutting the number
of drunken driving deaths and will form
stronger alliances with law enforcement
and push for higher seat belt use.
Still, the organization says it’s fighting
a feeling among Americans that the issue
is no longer so important.
“The nation has become complacent,”
said Birch, who became involved with the
group in 1988 when his 21-month old son
was killed by a drunken driver. “Back in
the early ’80s we had this grass-roots
organization that was flaring up. This
was a voice that you had to listen to.”
In an era in which terrorism, natural
disasters and diseases such as AIDS
receive considerable attention, Birch said,
“there are so many different things out
there that we are in competition with.”
In 1982, more than 26,000 people were
killed in drunken driving crashes, and
alcohol played a role in about 60 percent of
all highway fatalities.
Drunken driving was punishable with
fines and sometimes shrugged off by the
legal system.
The group’s founder, Candace Lightner,
still shudders at the memory of a California Highway Patrol officer telling her
the drunken driver who killed her 13year-old daughter probably would not
receive a stiff penalty. The driver was a
repeat offender with a history of drunken
driving arrests.
Infuriated, she mounted a nationwide
campaign that helped push Congress to
set aside federal highway funds for antidrunken driving efforts and then to pass
legislation in 1984 to raise the federal
minimum drinking age to 21.
By 2004, the most recent data avail-
able, the number of drunken driving
deaths had dropped to nearly 17,000 a
year and alcohol factored into about 40
percent of all deadly crashes.
The organization notes that the number
of drunken driving deaths has made little
downward movement in recent years.
About 45 people are killed and nearly 700
are injured daily because of drunken drivers.
Some have questioned MADD’s direction. Lightner, who parted ways with the
organization in the mid-1980s, says
MADD has failed to focus enough on its
core mission.
“You don’t hear about it any more —
you don’t hear the victims’ stories any
more,” Lightner said in an interview.
With a $53 million annual budget,
MADD is a nonprofit funded by individual
contributions, government grants and corporate sponsors.
Broadening its agenda, the organization has targeted underage drinking and
lobbied for stronger seat belt laws and
the use of sobriety checkpoints.
When Congress worked on a new federal
transportation bill this year, MADD
sought ways to encourage states to pass
laws targeting repeat offenders and drivers with blood-alcohol levels of 0.15 percent, or about twice the legal limit.

Coast homeowners look to rebuild —
face shortage of contractors, materials
By MICHAEL RUBINKAM
NEW ORLEANS — Roberta
Stewart picks through the
muck layering the first floor
of her home, her bare legs
splattered in mud, her eyes
surveying the putrid mess
from behind a gas mask. Now
that Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters have ebbed, she asks,
who will help her rebuild?
“The (builder) I was going to
use, who I trust, is in Fort
Worth because he lost his
house,” Stewart says. “I’ll have
to find another contractor.”
That could be a tall order.
With hundreds or even thousands of builders wiped out by
Katrina — their tools lost and
workers scattered — homeowners looking to rebuild
quickly are in for a shock.
The scope of home destruction is so sweeping that it will
likely stretch rebuilding for
years. It took more than a
decade to reconstruct all the
homes destroyed by Hurricane
Andrew, after it hit Florida in
1992. Katrina destroyed 10
times as many homes as
Andrew.
The difficulty of rebuilding
could be exacerbated because
Gulf Coast contracting has
long been the province of
small, independent companies
without the deep pockets to
recover quickly. That has
spurred out-of-state contractors to pour into the region,
increasing competition for
labor and driving up prices.
When the region’s contractors do get back on their feet,
most of their time will be
directed at repairing homes
that are salvageable, not
rebuilding ones that were
destroyed, industry experts
say.
About 9,000 contractors
belonging to the National Association of Home Builders are
based along the Gulf Coast.

While there is no reliable estimate of how many of them
were put out of commission by
the storm, the group says it is
likely in the thousands.
“They’re not in a position to
help right now,” said Jerry
Howard, the group’s CEO.
That’s clear in the story of
Ronnie Wirth, who ran a construction company from his
home, in a neighborhood flooded when a canal breached.
Wirth’s house and business are
gone. So are the six homes he
was in the process of building.
All his equipment is beyond
repair. Subcontractors and
employees are scattered across
the South. He is sending his
water-logged computer to a
company in hopes of rescuing
the hard drive that contains
all his records and contacts.
“We’ve been wiped out,” he
says. “The business was
insured, but of course we didn’t
have enough for this type of
damage. Everybody’s in the
AP
same boat right now.”
Even contractors who
weren’t directly hit by the
storm are feeling its effects.
Phil Hoffman, a custom
builder who escaped damage,
said many of his suppliers and
workers lived in flooded parts
of New Orleans.
“Some of them haven’t come
back home yet and some of
them won’t even have a place
to come home to,” he said.
Demand for the few workers left is skyrocketing.
“Our builders say they are
having trouble keeping their
normal crews because people
are literally buying them off
job sites,” said Marty Milstead, head of the Home
Builders Association of Mississippi. One Gulf Coast roofing company reported losing
two of its crews in a single day,
he said.
Companies with workers are
paying them more than before,
and charging far higher prices.
AP
Construction workerJavier Pimeda hammers fasteners for a blue tarp on a roof top
of a damaged home in the Garden District of New Orleans, Wednesday. With hundreds or even thousands of builders wiped out by the storm, their tools lost, their
labor pool scattered, homeowners who hope to rebuild quickly in the wake of Katrina are likely in for a surprise.
New Orleans roofers are
charging $120 for every 100
square feet, nearly triple the
going rate before Katrina.
In Biloxi, Miss., building has
resumed on houses that had
been under construction. But
the cost per square foot has
increased from $80 to $99, real
estate agent Nancy Stone
Bourgeois said.
The demand was obvious
this week at a Home Depot in
Gulfport, Miss., where customers’ cars stretched from the
entrance out to the street.
Contractor Robert Mackley of
Gulfport, with a pickup truck
full of lumber, said people
have to understand why contractors are raising their rates.
“It’s supply and demand,”
he said. The increased cost of
materials and strain put on
the industry because of hurricane damage over the past
two years in Florida “didn’t
help anything. It’s going to
drive everything up.”
Even in places where there
are plenty of contractors,
demand far outstrips supply.
In the battered Eden Isles
subdivision of Slidell, La.,
across Lake Pontchartrain
from New Orleans, signs
planted on street corners
advertise everything from
tear-out services to electrical
work. The development hums
with activity.
But the need is so great that
volunteers from Slidell’s First
Baptist Church, who are ripping out soggy drywall
throughout the neighborhood,
have a waiting list of 400
homeowners, with more added
every day.
Getting contractors back in
business is only one impediment to rebuilding.
The appetite for construction materials and labor in the
Gulf Coast will be voracious
over the next few years, which
could raise prices of wallboard,
cement, Southern yellow pine
and other building materials,
said Robert Murray, an analyst with McGraw-Hill Construction Research and Analytics.
Government encourages building in risky areas, critics say
By JIM BARNETT
c.2005 Newhouse News Service
WASHINGTON — Americans depend on government
to protect them from disasters.
But after the toll taken by
hurricanes Katrina and Rita,
some policymakers ask
whether government hasn’t
instead enticed people into living, working and playing in
dangerous places.
The problem isn’t limited to
hurricane-battered coastal
areas, they say. Across the
nation, people build homes
and businesses near forests,
riverbanks and other high-risk
locales, largely because federal agencies provide infrastructure and financial help.
While in the 1800s government gave settlers land to
encourage development, modern-day incentives include
wildfire-prevention, flood-control and beach-improvement
projects. Financial bonuses
such as subsidized flood insurance and tax deductions also
lure people into harm’s way.
“In a sense, we are giving
people a false sense of security that we can protect them,”
said Mike Dombeck, chief of
the U.S. Forest Service during the Clinton administration. “The reality is that these
natural forces are much bigger
than we are.”
The unintended result is a
landscape of disasters waiting
to happen: million-dollar bungalows on hurricane-battered
Atlantic beachfronts, malls
and suburbs in Midwestern
floodplains and resort homes
built at the edge of tinder-dry
forests throughout the West.
With the federal contribution to recovery from Katrina
estimated at $100 billion or
more, some in Congress are
calling for new scrutiny of federal policies that can feed a
cycle of development, devastation and reconstruction.
“It’s amazing how it has
suddenly dawned on people
that we can’t keep doing
things the same way,” said
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore.
“I have found that this has
moved up on the radar screen
for a wide range of people.”
Indeed, New Orleans residents knew long before Katrina hit that they lived in a
risky place. But they also had
put their faith in probabilities:
A storm big enough to breach
the lowest levees protecting
the city would occur only once
in 200 years, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers had calculated.
If anything, Katrina proved
that odds can be deceiving,
said Don Sweeney, a retired
corps economist. Many people
fail to realize that a once-in200-year storm is as likely to
happen in the first year as in
the 200th, he said.
Nevertheless, Sweeney and
other critics said, growing
numbers of people and businesses choose to play the odds
— and do so with the tacit
encouragement of federal,
state and local governments.
A glaring example is cropping up in the St. Louis suburb
of Chesterfield, Sweeney said.
After floods in 1993, the corps
began upgrading surrounding
levees. The town followed with
new water and sewer lines,
which in turn allowed for construction of a strip mall.
Another flood will come, he
said. The only question is
when.
“It’s a hard thing for people
to wrap their minds around
what these probability numbers mean,” said Sweeney, now
a professor at the University of
Missouri St. Louis. “If you wait
long enough, you are certain
to have a disaster.”
The National Flood Insurance Program has been a
perennial target for criticism
because until last year, it
allowed owners to file unlimited numbers of claims for
recurring damage on the same
property. Many rebuild bigger
and better than before.
“It has made it safe to build
in high-risk areas, and it has
increased the intensification
of building at the coast,” said
Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for
Building Supply & Brickyard

Common Sense, an advocacy
group in Washington.
An analysis of flood-insurance coverage by Newhouse
News Service supports Ellis’
claim. The average amount of
coverage per policy nearly doubled in constant dollars
between 1978 and 2002, with
coastal states such as North
Carolina and Florida leading
the way, the analysis found.
Meanwhile, other incentives
have encouraged people to
build homes and businesses
where they chance wildfires
and droughts. Consider:
• The 2003 Healthy Forests
Restoration Act authorizes
$760 million a year to thin fireprone forests, with at least half
going to protect residential
areas. But without strict local
planning ordinances, the
spending will encourage fur-
ther suburban sprawl, critics
said.
“It’s an ever-expanding circle,” said Roger Kennedy, a former director of the National
Park Service who is writing a
book about government subsidies and their effect on development. “Until we focus on
making the existing settlements safe and cease subsidizing extension into danger,
we will not be saving people’s
lives.”
• Crop subsidies pose an
indirect threat to growing communities in arid regions
because they encourage farmers to irrigate with water
pumped from underground
aquifers, said Don Wilhite, a
climatologist at the University
of Nebraska. The result is a
lower water table that jeopardizes all users.
“All of a sudden, streams
become intermittent, reservoirs don’t fill,” Wilhite said.
“People are starting to figure
this out.”
• Income tax laws also
encourage risky development,
said Ellis of the taxpayer
group. Homeowners can
deduct mortgage interest on
second homes, often built near
coastlines, forests, mountains
and other vulnerable places.
Blumenauer said pressure
to develop coastlines and other
risky areas will mount as the
U.S. population grows and
becomes more affluent. But he
says he is optimistic that Congress will learn from past mistakes as it pays for recovery
from Katrina and Rita.
“There’s chance to do this
thing right,” Blumenauer said.
“I think people get it.”

Bombs kill 60; 5 U.S. soldiers die
By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA
AP
Palestinian Rafat Moqadi pauses during an interview in
his cell in a prison in the southern Israeli town of Beersheba, Israel, Thursday. A bomb strapped to his
abdomen, Moqadi walked into a Tel Aviv restaurant and
saw a woman dining with her two little girls. ‘Seeing
that, I decided not to carry out the operation. I couldn’t
do it,’ he said.
Nationalism, zealotry,
humiliation drive
suicide bombers
By STEVEN GUTKIN
BEERSHEBA, Israel — A
bomb strapped to his abdomen,
Rafat Moqadi walked into a
Tel Aviv restaurant and saw a
woman dining with her two little girls. “Seeing that, I decided not to carry out the operation. I couldn’t do it,” he said.
Yet, Moqadi said he longed
for what he believes awaits a
suicide bomber in the hereafter
— God’s reward and a special
place in heaven for martyrs.
“He has a life in paradise,” he
told The Associated Press on
Thursday. “He doesn’t die.”
A rare jailhouse interview
with the would-be suicide
bomber revealed a common
thread running through the
rising worldwide phenomenon:
Most attackers are driven not
by poverty or ignorance, but
by a lethal mix of nationalism,
zealotry and humiliation.
As the pace of attacks
increases in the Middle East
and beyond, a surprising profile is emerging of those willing
to take their own lives: Many
are young, middle class and
educated.
Nearly four-fifths of all suicide attacks over the past 35
years have occurred since the
Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist strikes
in the U.S., according to the
RAND Center for Terrorism
Risk Management. And 80 percent of those have been carried out by radical Islamic
groups, said the center’s director, Bruce Hoffman.
But religion is only part of
the picture. Moqadi said that
wasn’t his motivation.
“The main reason was to
resist the (Israeli) occupation,
to create a balance of power
with the Israeli army,” he said.
“At the moment they put the
(explosives) belt on me there
were a few seconds of doubt,”
he said. “But after that I felt
strength. I felt stronger than
the whole state of Israel. It
was a good feeling.”
Moqadi, who is serving a 14year sentence in the southern
Israeli city of Beersheba, said
he graduated high school and
worked with his brothers laying tile before joining the
Hamas militant group in 2002.
The soft-spoken 26-year-old
with neatly cropped hair said
he did so in response to massive gunbattles between Israeli
forces and Palestinians in
Jenin.
Now, Moqadi spends most of
his time in jail learning to
speak, read and write Hebrew,
the language of the Jewish
state. Islam, he said, teaches
that it’s important to “know
your enemy.”
Moqadi is not alone in having doubts before pressing the
button, said Ariel Merari, an
Israeli psychologist who has
interviewed numerous wouldbe bombers.
“A person who volunteers
usually hesitates. He has second thoughts,” Merari said.
Often what makes the person carry out the mission is
commitment to a group, making it difficult to back out
without losing face, experts
say. Many of today’s suicide
bombers, especially in Iraq
and the Palestinian territories, come from societies where
many people condone the
action, making it easier to execute.
“Usually there are rites and
rituals just before launching
that constitute the last nail in
the coffin,” Merari said.
For Palestinian attackers,
the last ritual is usually the
making of a videotape in
which the bomber proclaims
commitment to national liberation. In Sri Lanka, when suicide bombings were prevalent,
it was often a final dinner
with rebel leader Velupillai
Prabhakaran.
Since the early 1980s, three
countries have accounted for
the vast majority of suicide
bombings: Iraq, Israel and Sri
Lanka. Iraq has become the
global leader in suicide
attacks, with an average of
two a day during the past six
months, attracting jihadists
the world over, said Merari,
who studies the issue at Tel
Aviv University.
The conflicts in Israel and
Iraq provide a fertile battlefield for suicide bombers, just
as the conflict in Lebanon did
during the 1980s and the one
in Sri Lanka did from 1987 to
2002.
Hoffman attributes the
sharp upturn in suicide bombings to their success in achieving the attackers’ goal. His
studies reveal that suicide
strikes around the world kill
four times as many people as
other kinds of terrorism.
On Thursday alone, three
suicide car bombs exploding
nearly simultaneously killed
at least 60 people in a city
north of Baghdad.
In Afghanistan, another post
Sept. 11 war front, a man
launched a rare suicide attack
in that country Wednesday
outside a military training
center in Kabul, killing nine
people and breaking 10 days of
relative calm after landmark
parliamentary elections. The
bombing, the worst to hit Kabul in a year, added to fears
insurgents could copy tactics
used in Iraq.
Recent studies have
debunked some common misperceptions about suicide
bombers: That most are poor,
that they’re in it for personal
revenge, that they’re crazy
and uneducated.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Three
suicide attackers exploded
near-simultaneous car bombs
in the heart of a bustling,
mainly Shiite town Thursday,
killing at least 60 people and
wounding 70 amid a new
surge of violence before an
Oct. 15 referendum on Iraq’s
constitution.
Apparently aimed at killing
a large number of Shiite civilians, the string of bombings
started just before sunset
when the first blast ripped
through an open-air market
crowded with Iraqis buying
vegetables. The next bomb
exploded at a bank just yards
away, followed by a third on
a nearby street of clothing
shops.
Sunni insurgents have
vowed to wreck the referendum, whose passage is crucial
to prospects for starting a
withdrawal of American
troops. Al-Qaida in Iraq has
declared “all-out war” on the
Shiite majority that dominates
Iraq’s government, and moderate Sunni Arab leaders
called on their community to
reject the constitution, saying
it will fragment Iraq and leave
them weak compared to Shiites and Kurds.
The U.S. ambassador has
been struggling to negotiate
changes to the charter in
hopes of winning Sunni Arab
support. Frustrating his
efforts, Sunnis said U.S.
troops raided the homes of two
Sunni leaders on Thursday,
fueling their sense of alienation in the political process.
Also Thursday, the U.S. military announced the deaths of
five U.S. soldiers Wednesday
in a roadside bombing during
combat in Ramadi, west of
Baghdad, a hotbed of Iraq’s
insurgency.
It was the deadliest single
attack against American
troops in more than a month,
bringing to 1,934 the number
of U.S. service members who
have died since Iraq’s war
started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press
count. More than 140 people,
including 13 U.S. service
members, have been killed in
the past four days.
Until Thursday, however,
Balad — 50 miles north of
Baghdad and the site of a
major U.S. military air base
— had seen few major attacks.
The blasts left streets
strewn with body parts and
wounded as emergency vehicles rushed in. The attackers
detonated their explosivespacked cars within minutes of
each other, starting at 6:45
p.m. at the Masraf Street market, then at nearby Bint alHassan Street, a major commercial avenue, said police Lt.
Ghafil Hassan.
Most of the 60 casualties
were civilians, though among
the 70 wounded were the
police chief and four officers,
said Dr. Khaled al-Azawi of
Balad Hospital. Hassan said
the toll could reach 75 dead
and 100 wounded, saying
there were still victims at the
scene.
In Washington, the top
American commander in Iraq
said Thursday that the process
of withdrawing U.S. troops
depends greatly on the results
of the referendum and elections set to follow if the constitution passes.
“The next 75 days are going
to be critical,” Gen. George
Casey told the U.S. Senate
Armed Services Committee.
But Sunni Arab success in
rejecting the constitution
would set back the political
process for months, prolonging Iraq’s political stability.

sake that you will cherish.
Exercise alone will not reduce body weight
Counting may
make the
game easy
What is the primary reason that experts can play
bridge better than nonexperts? A clue can be found
in this quotation by basketball coach
John
Wooden:
“It is
what we
learn
after we
think we
know it
all that
counts.”
Right — Philip
counting.
Alder
The more
counting
you do — points, winners,
losers, points again, more
points! — the better you
will play. This deal is an
easy example.
You are South, the declarer in four spades after East
has opened one club. West
leads the club 10. East
overtakes with the jack,
cashes the club ace, takes
the club king (West discarding a low heart), and continues with the club queen.
What would you do now?
Also, what do you think of
the auction?
After South made the
automatic one-spade overcall, North jumped straight
to four spades.
It was unlikely that they
had a slam after East had
opened. North, though,
might have started with a
two-club cue-bid raise,
which would promise spade
support with at least limitraise values: 10-plus points
or at most eight losers.
At trick four, you must
decide who holds the spade
queen.
If it is West, you must
ruff with the spade king,
then finesse through West.
But if it is East, you should
trump with the spade eight
(or jack), then cross to dummy’s spade ace, and play a
spade through East, finessing if his queen has not
appeared.
Count the points. Dummy
has 14 and you hold 13.
That leaves only 13 for the
opponents, yet East opened.
He must have the spade
queen.
Ruff with your spade
eight.

Dear Dr. Gott: It’s recommended by most medical
experts that a person should
raise his or her heart rate for
20 minutes a day, three times a
week. Well, I’ve been doing just
that. I work out with a lowimpact, 40-minute aerobic tape
and a 30-minute aerobic tape
with 5-pound hand-held
weights six to seven days a
week. In addition, I walk whenever possible. My weight will
not come off. Do I need to
increase my routine?
Dear Reader: Many people
mistakenly believe that moderate, regular exercise will burn
off fat. It isn’t so. Although such
exercise is healthful, as I’ll
describe in a moment, strenuous activity is not the key to
losing weight. A pound of fat
contains 3,500 calories. Therefore, in order to lose a pound of
adipose tissue each week, a person must expend 3,500 calories
while exercising. This is,
believe me, strenuous — on the
order of two hours of competitive tennis singles on a warm
summer afternoon.
In addition, you have to take
into account what the person
would eat that day: on average,
about 2,000 calories. Consequently, to lose a pound, our
prospective athlete would, in
reality, have to burn off closer
to 5,500 calories each week, a
daunting prospect for most
adults.
Reducing dietary calories is a
much more efficient way to
achieve weight loss. If, using
our example, a person were to
reduce dietary intake by 500
calories a day, he or she could
lose a
pound a
week (500
multiplied
by 7 equals
3,500),
regardless
of exercise.
Such a goal
can usually
be accomPeter
plished by
Gott, M.D.
reducing
dietary fat
to a minimum, eliminating
alcohol and sweets, and consuming modest portions.
With respect to exercise,
you’re correct that many medical authorities endorse it —
and the Heart and Lung Association guidelines are easily within reach of most adults.
Exercise has several salutary
effects that include improved
circulation, reduced blood fats,
more efficient sugar/carbohydrate metabolism, enhanced
blood flow to heart muscle, lower blood pressure and a heightened sense of well-being, to
mention a few. Also, because
moderately strenuous exercise
releases endorphins (chemical
stimulants in the brain), such
activity often relieves depression, anxiety and stress. Therefore, irrespective of weight considerations, regular exercise
benefits the heart, the body and
the mind.
In your case, your unwanted
extra weight may be a genetic
characteristic that you’ll have
to address, using the dietary
modifications I mentioned. If
you continue to be hungry (as
you may well be, especially
after exercise), snack on sugarfree sweets, fruits and raw vegetables. Stay away from candy,
sugar, “junk foods” and the like.

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

Our Opinion
The fool
on the Hill
Michael Brown continues to baffle, bother and bewilder
with his failure to shoulder any of the responsibility for his
catastrophic failure of leadership.
In congressional testimony Wednesday, Brown blamed
New Orleans and Louisiana officials, even the Bush White
House for the cauldron of troubles caused by the ineptitude of his leadership.
And, he pointed to “successes” in Mississippi.
The fact is, the successes in our state came from church
groups and other private organizations, as well as local
governments, who were on the ground, up and running
before the first FEMA personnel were here.
U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor of Bay St. Louis is right: Brown
gets an F-minus for his performance.
It appears, Taylor has said in interviews, that FEMA
used a cookie-cutter approach — the Florida model — for
its response in Mississippi.
Florida and Mississippi are night-and-day different
when it comes to infrastructure, the number of major
cities, and overall resources.
Too, the former FEMA chief apparently forgot to factor
in that most of the Mississippi National Guard is off in
Iraq, fighting the war on terror
No one expected Brown to get everyone our of New
Orleans, or to micro-manage every problem in every devastated coastal Mississippi county or Louisiana parish.
What we do expect of a FEMA director — as Taylor’s
House colleague Chrisopher Shays rightly pointed out —
is to coordinate federal resources with those of state and
local agencies.
Adding to the anger over Brown’s quick ability to point
the finger at anyone but himself is that he still gets
$140,000 in a consultant’s salary from FEMA.
Michael Brown is a living, breathing example of all
that’s wrong with the “It’s not what you know, but who you
know” Beltway culture, where incompetence is rewarded,
accountability lost and everything must be filled out in
triplicate.
Other Opinion
The Hammer
is laid aside
Tom DeLay’s fellow House Republicans were hardly
surprised by the majority leader’s indictment on charges
of conspiracy to violate the campaign finance laws back
home in Texas.
In fact, they tried to plan for this eventuality early in
the year by rescinding a rule that indicted congressional
Republicans could retain their leadership positions. The
negative reaction from the public and their own rankand-file forced the party leaders to reinstate that rule,
and, accordingly, on Wednesday DeLay stepped aside.
As House GOP whip and later leader, DeLay more than
anyone in Washington consolidated the Republican hold
on power and advanced the Bush agenda, but there’s a
good chance that, fairly or unfairly, he may be out of the
leadership for good.
As tough and tenacious as DeLay is, he is certainly not
someone to write off. But trials have a way of dragging
on, and when that ordeal is over he faces an inquiry by
the House ethics committee, which has already admonished him three times for various lapses, over whether he
violated House rules by accepting lobbyist-paid travel.
And conservative Republican backbenchers rebelled at
a ploy by DeLay and House Speaker Dennis Hastert to
install a compliant placeholder pending his return.
Instead, Republican whip Roy Blunt moved up one step
and he may not want to move back. Other ambitious
Republicans would also like a crack at a leadership post.
DeLay in essence is charged with laundering $190,000
in corporate campaign contributions through a national
Republican political action committee and sending them
back to Texas where such corporate contributions are illegal. The indictment does not tip the prosecutor’s hand. It
is hard to say whether the alleged offense is a technicality
or something more serious.
It was, however, amusing to hear an unabashed partisan zealot — and proud of it — like DeLay denounce the
Texas prosecutor as “an unabashed partisan zealot.”
Part of the money in question went to fund a redistricting that resulted in five more Republican members of
Congress from Texas. It was a signature DeLay move —
brutal and effective.
The DeLay case would do the nation a service if it
exposes a true scandal in American politics: Tortured partisan redrawing of congressional and state legislative districts to produce noncompetitive, single-party districts,
virtual rubber stamps for incumbents.
DeLay was quick to attack the judicial branch. His
threats of reprisals and impeachment against judges with
whom he disagreed even drew a veiled rebuke from Chief
Justice William Rehnquist. It is a small irony that his
fate is now in the hands of that same judiciary he so often
abused.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rick
sav
ictim
of prejudice
To the editor:
As a pastor in Moss Point and Escatawpa, I have worked closely with Police
Chief Michael Ricks. For instance, I was
a graduate of his Citizens’ Police Academy, which was developed to foster unity
in the community by building a bridge of
communication between the police
department and the people of Moss Point.
The statistics prove it has worked well.
What bothers me is how Mayor Xavier
Bishop has deliberately worked to obfuscate the truth regarding the resignation
of Chief Ricks, stating that he doesn’t
know why the chief resigned. When his
has been a campaign of harassment and
intimidation from the day he took office.
Culminating with the recent hurricane.
During that time, Chief Ricks worked
tirelessly to assure that all of Moss
Points’ citizens were afforded the basic
necessities to sustain life, even carrying
water, food, and ice himself to those who
could not get to the drop-off sites themselves.
For those actions, he was severely
chastened by the mayor, who asserted
that such was not the chief ’s job. My
question concerns the police officers’ oath
to “serve and protect.” The mayor’s only
concern was that he first wasn’t contacted. For those who have ever had management experience, in order to be successful
you must allow those under your authority to carry out their respective duties
without micro-managing every detail. To
do so, exposes the lack of ability, not of
the subordinate, but, rather the manager.
Otherwise, there would be no need to
have others to carry out the mandate of
responsibilities when you could do it
yourself. For this, Chief Ricks was
charged with inappropriate conduct — as
if there was a crime committed. This is
an outrage! An open affront to the people
of Moss Point who deserve the truth.
There has never been a time in my 29
years in Jackson County that the people
— who are predominately black — felt as
secure in Moss Point as they have these
last three years during the tenure of
Chief Ricks. Regrettably, however, we
have a legacy of racism and bigotry in
this city that is unrivaled on the Coast
and yet, when we have individuals in
public service, such as Chief Ricks, (who
has undeniably exposed the source of
such despicable hatred) the head of the
dog gets wagged by the tail again. What
do I mean? Why, the very elected officials
of the city, i.e., Mayor Bishop and the
Board of Aldermen who swore to serve
the people have now proven that those
positions are puppets controlled by
the same “good ole boy” cartel that has
demonized the people of this city for generations. It is a despicable picture when
people of one race allow their hatred of
another to continue to foster the demise
of Moss Point, not to mention their own
eternal salvation.
However, for the life of me, I cannot
fathom how one can allow themselves to
be used to further racism and bigotry
against one’s own people, as have the
Mayor and a couple of the Aldermen.
Another Judas perhaps? Yes, I said it
— and it needs saying! How does it feel
when you look at yourself in the mirror?
Maybe the hands in your pocket help to
soothe your conscience? However, there is
a day of reckoning. I challenge the people
of Moss Point to question loud and long
these latest actions that FORCED Chief
Ricks out. We are entitled to answers. It
is time that these issues are addressed.
It’s not going away. Moss Point will never
grow because of the stench of prejudice
hanging over us. We must not allow elected officials to go unchecked. What happened to “of the people, by the people,
and for the people?”
There are some of us who will not quit
until Moss Point is a safe haven that is
equitable for all regardless of race or economic status.

A letter
to President Bush
Editor’s Note: This letter, addressed to
President George W. Bush, came to The
Mississippi Press from 12-year-old reader Macie Joiner of Pascagoula.
Dear Mr. Bush:
I hope you take this letter into deep
consideration, being that it would be the
first time you listened to your country.
We are all very disappointed in your
reaction to Hurricane Katrina. As you
know — and as we all know — Hurricane Katrina was a Category 4 hurricane as it ripped through the Gulf Coast.
It took the government five days to get
food and water to all of these people.
Shouldn’t you have known before the
hurricane even hit that since it was a
Category 4 or 5 storm it was going to
mess up this country really bad.
Anybody else would have known, especially you, being the president. You
should have known it was going to make
gas prices rise. You should have known
it was going to break the levees in New
Orleans, being that they were only made
to withstand a Category 3 Hurricane.
And the whole time this was going on,
you were taking a nice, quiet vacation.
Lucky you. You need to learn a lot more
about your country.
Macie Joiner
Pascagoula
Moss Point resident
offers encouragement
To the editor:
My heart aches for the people along
the coastal area affected by Hurricane
Katrina. To experience a loss of your
home and personal property you work so
hard to obtain is something I would never want anyone to go through.
I can personally relate to the events
that have taken place over the last
month. Over the course of several years
I have had to contend with a house that
has a history of flooding. My house has
flooded five times and each time my children and I were at the mercy of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
the Mississippi Emergency Management
Agency and the Small Business Administration. I have contacted federal, state
and local officials only to be left without
a permanent solution to my problem.
My children and I are still held in
bondage. We are still dealing with a
poor drainage and sewage system. The
rain is just an additional problem.
I have listened to so many people in
recent days playing the blame game
and pointing fingers at FEMA. But my
opinion is that unless you go through
the entire process, you don’t know how
the system will try to assist you. On
numerous occasions I had to rely upon
FEMA to repair my home. My children
and I would have been homeless had it
not been for FEMA, MEMA and the
SBA and got the assistance I needed.
The city of Moss Point will not admit
that there is a severe drainage and
sewage problem. Nevertheless, I still
occupy a home that floods on a regular
basis.
I have watched devastated people
with almost no hope after Hurricane
Katrina. I do know what so many are
experiencing during this particular
hurricane season.
I want to encourage those who feel
they are without hope and troubled in
heart to be encouraged: “Weeping may
endure for a moment, but joy comes in
the morning,” the Scripture says. Keep
praying for one another, because
together we will rise up, restore and
rebuild. We will rebuild stronger and
wiser.
So many are angry at President
Bush, city and state officials. Everyone
must give an account of every deed
done. We must learn from our mistakes
and not repeat them. This is the United
States of America.

As Katrina survivors know all
too well, hurricanes get things
scrambled up. Winds and waves
toss trees, cars, boats and houses
into heaps of rubble.
Besides altering the physical
landscape, hurricanes also
reorder the affairs of humans.
We moved to the Gulf Coast in
1977. I well remember our first
hurricane, Hurricane Frederic.
We were without power for two
and a half weeks. We brought
our frozen shrimp to a huge
freezer storage facility in Gulfport to try and
save it.
Although we
clearly marked
our packages,
they were not
there when we
went to pick
them up weeks
later. Instead,
we received
Charles
some packages
Brooks
left by other
people.
Hurricane Elena was especially fickle. We evacuated twice.
Elena came in straight for
Pascagoula, and we headed for
Hattiesburg. We spent two
nights in a shelter, then Elena
stopped dead in her tracks and
went toward Panama City, Fla.
We went back home. Elena
churned off the coast of Florida
for several days, then headed
right back for us. This time, we
went all the way to Meridian as
Elena plowed ashore on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Having heard horror stories of
Hurricane Camille and seen the
pictures of devastation, we have
always respected hurricanes,
even though we are not Coast
natives.
I have stayed home for only
one hurricane — Hurricane
Georges — and that was by mistake. All the weather reports had
Georges headed straight for New
Orleans, so I decided to stick it
out at home. My wife and mother-in-law were in California visiting relatives, and my son evacuated just in case. Late at night,
Hurricane Georges took a sharp
right turn and headed right for
my bed.
I stayed up as long as I could,
listening to the radio and the
increasing wind. I dallied with
the idea of sleeping in the closet
as a strong interior location. But
I finally got in bed thinking, “If
I’m going to die, I might as well
be comfortable.”
When I awoke the next morning, Georges was still raging.
The French doors on the south
side of the house bulged in an
inch with every gust. When I had
to retrieve something from the
other side of the house, I rushed
past, fearing the doors might
burst in at any moment.
Katrina’s devastation has been
far worse than any storm in my
lifetime. One-hundred-year-old
houses have been wiped away.
Refugees from New Orleans
evacuated to Texas, only to be
threatened anew by Hurricane
Rita.
Our house was spared. We sit
on a bluff in Gautier, not far
from a bayou and the Mississippi
Sound. Katrina’s floodwaters left
a landscaping timber in our front
yard, but did not enter the
house.
Our thoughts and prayers go
out to all of our friends and
neighbors who have lost everything.
Since Katrina’s passing,
friends whose Pascagoula house
was damaged have been staying
in our house, while I have been
staying with a friend in Mobile.
The Mississippi Press has been
published in Mobile since our
offices on Jackson Avenue were
flooded. My sailboat was ripped
from its mooring in the
Pascagoula Inner Harbor and
deposited in the back yard of a
home nearby. A month later, my
boat is back on its mooring,
minus mast.
Life is slowly, slowly getting
back to normal. Displaced people
are starting to put the pieces of
their lives back together.

GAUTIER — Although there
is discrepancy over the exact
year the Henry Gautier House
was actually built, there is no
arguing the fact that it was a
longstanding fixture in the community as Gautier’s third oldest
home.
Henry Gautier built the
house in the 1870s by floating
the lumber down the
Pascagoula River. Its current
owner, Dorothy Gautier, was
standing in the kitchen of Jack
and Catherine Womack when
she saw the lumber make its
return journey.
“I always walk down the
street to stay with Jack and
Catherine during storms,” Gautier said. “And when it’s all over
I just walk back home. I had
water and everything I needed
all ready because I’m always
ready to get home afterwards
to start cleaning up. But as I
stood in Catherine’s kitchen I
saw this pile of lumber floating
down the street and I thought
now where’s all that lumber
coming from? Then, I realized it
was probably my house.”
Over the years, the house had
withstood many storms without significant damage, including Camille, but with the house
sitting only 13 feet above sea
level it met its fate against the
immense storm surge of Hurricane Katrina.
“I put everything in the hands
of God,” she said. “Everyone
keeps asking what I’m going to
do now that the house is gone
and I’m not going to do anything but wait for God to tell
me what to do.”
Even though everything the
Gautier native owns is scattered
within the sea-licked trees as
far away as the railroad tracks
on Graveline Road and her
property is now imbedded with
chalky-white oyster shells
instead of grass, she’s still in
good spirits.
“Jack walked down here the

other day and saw one of my
Christmas decorations. He
walked back up to the house
and said he’d found one wise
man and wanted to know where
the other two had gotten to. We
just laughed because that’s all
you really can do at this point. I
miss my house, but we’re going
to make the best of it,” she said.
Gautier said her dog, Abby,
is missing their home as well.
“The first day we walked
down here, Abby ran right to
where her room would be and
then to the kitchen like she does
when she’s hungry, but just
looked at me like she was confused,” she said with a laugh.
Gautier said saying the
Serenity Prayer is one of the
ways she will get through the
loss of her home, but said she
will deeply miss the numerous
family reunions and Christmas
gatherings held on the family
estate.
“We were actually thinking
about planning another Gautier family reunion this year,” she
said. “And we might still have
it, but we’ll just have to have it
under Grandpa’s oak tree
instead.”
The tree she’s referring to is
one that sat in front of the
house and was planted by Henry Gautier himself.
“I was devastated by the
New Orleans flood damage
estimated by firm at $22.6B
NEW YORK (AP) — Hurricane Katrina caused at least
$22.6 billion in flood damage to
commercial and residential
property in New Orleans —
and nearly that much to private property in other areas
hit by the storm last month,
according to estimates released
Thursday by a major risk
assessment company.
The total flood damage was
more than $44 billion, said AIR
Worldwide Corp., a risk-modeling firm based in Boston.
Louisiana areas outside of
New Orleans suffered $16.2
billion in damage from storm
surge. Other estimates included $4.4 billion in water damage in Mississippi, $793 million in Alabama and $32 million in Florida.
The figures include water
damage to residential and
commercial property, including onshore oil facilities, but
not roads, bridges or other
infrastructure, the company
said.
Jayanta Guin, vice president
of research and modeling at
AIR Worldwide, said in the
report that Katrina caused “an
unprecedented level” of water
damage.
SBA
From Page 1-A
rorist attacks on New York,
Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia, called the damage from
Katrina “something on a totally
different scale. Here, we’re not
dealing with (city) blocks, we’re
dealing with square miles.”
He said SBA officials will be
working to get people to file loan
applications with the agency in
order to be eligible for other
emergency aid if they don’t qualify for an SBA loan.
“Our goal is to approve loans
in days,” he said. “This is going
to be an ongoing relationship.
We’re going to have our disaster
assistance people here for as
long as we need them.
Herb Mitchell, SBA’s Disaster Assistance Division head,
said that 1.2 million Mississippi residents have filed with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency and SBA has
mailed 900,000 disaster loan
assistance applications. He said
32,000 applications have been
returned.
“We are committed to helping all those people assigned to
us and to make sure they understand the process,” Mitchell
said. “For most folks, this is the
first time they are filling out a
loan application.”
The challenge, he said, is that
many people do not want to fill
out the application.
“Some of them say, ‘I don’t
want a loan,’” he said. “After a
disaster, people either rely on
insurance, SBA or FEMA
grants, and you can’t get to the
grant program until you go
through the SBA process.”

time of the year,” she said.
Gautier feels certain someone from the family will rebuild
on her grandfather’s property
eventually because the house
and the land always has been
such a beloved place for the
Gautier family.
“Really this house that everyone loved belonged to God and,
thankfully, he let us live in it
for a little while,” she said. “But
someone will live here again. I
don’t know when it will be or
even who in the family, but
someday someone will live
here.”

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

because they don’t call,” she
added.
“Everybody you ask says
nobody knows who has the
keys,” Bobby Johnson said.
And the Johnsons are not
alone.
John and Martha Lewis
have had their trailer at their
13th Street home for 11 days,
but with no keys.
Some utilities have been
connected but they are still
waiting on their keys.
They usually make sure one
of them is on the property at
all times so they do not miss
“the key guy,” a title residents
have coined. The only time the
Lewises left their home together was to celebrate their 47th
wedding anniversary over dinner. Two guys from Dade
County, Fla., strangers who
helped them do some repairs,
sent them cut flowers for the
occasion.
Bobby Johnson said he
understands the Lewises’ decision.
“You’ve just got to get away
because it gets to you mentally just waiting around for
somebody that’s not showing
up,” he said.
The Lewises, both retired,
have been sleeping on an air
mattress and taking cold
showers.
“No one seems to know
where the keys for the trailers
are. It would make things a
lot more bearable if we could
just get in,” John Lewis, 67,
said.
“We know everybody’s in the
same boat we are and we’re
grateful to have our trailer.
We’re usually patient but if
we could be using (the trailer) it would make life easier,”
Martha Lewis, 66, a retired
teacher, said.
Inquiries to FEMA regarding the mobile homes were
referred to Maryland-based
Bechtal Corp. Bechtal was
contracted by FEMA to deliver
the trailers and the utilities.
Bechtal spokesperson Brenda Thompson said crews first
place the trailer on the property, then utilities are connected later and inspected and
a meeting is held with residents for orientation on the
trailer’s equipment.
After that meeting, she said,
keys are delivered within one
or two days. She could not confirm rumors that hundreds of
keys had been lost.
Another Bechtal representative confirmed Thursday
that no more trailers will be
delivered to Pascagoula until
crews can get caught up on
the utility connections.
Earlier this week, 2,100
trailers were reportedly delivered to Jackson County with
more on the way.
The Johnsons and Lewises,
and other residents, say not
having a point of contact or
phone number to call has also
been frustrating. Thompson
said there is no number to call.

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

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

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

George County enters new season at Harrison Central
■ Jones, Rebels try
to forget 1-2 start
By JR. WITTNER
A couple of special team
blunders cost the George
County Rebels a win at home
over Niceville, Fla. last week,
but head coach Al Jones
knows tonight his team must
focus on winning games.
After winning three
straight Region 7-4A titles,
the Rebels now face their first
game on the Region 4-5A
schedule when they travel to
Harrison Central.
“The real season begins
against Harrison Central,”
Jones said. “Everyone is 0-0
in region play and everyone is
trying to make the playoffs.
We have to come out and play
hard and not make mistakes.”
The Rebels (1-2) have seen
two different Red Rebel (2-0)
teams on tape.
Harrison Central picked up
a 26-21 win over D’Iberville to
start the season, and resumed
its season last week with a
21-13 win over Northeast
Jones.
“The are very athletic on
offense and defense,” Jones
said. “We’ve really seen some
different things on tape.
Against D’Iberville they really controlled the football and
against Northeast Jones they
spread it out
some in the
first half and
got a couple
of defensive
scores.
“Their
defense can
really
do
s o m e g o o d Jones
things.”

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

East Central’s Whitney Melton (10) looks for a service point Thursday night
in the Lady Hornets sweep of Gautier, 25-18, 25-11, 25-18.
Lady Hornets roll
■ Whitney Melton leads
ECHS to sweep of Gautier
By JR. WITTNER
HURLEY — East Central volleyball
coach Keith Tucker had a feeling junior
Whitney Melton was going to be a solid
player with some time for his team this
season. She is proving she doesn’t need
anymore time.
Melton and Christy Golden each finished the match with 19 kills as the Lady
Hornets moved to 3-0 in division with a
25-18, 25-11, 25-18 win over Gautier
Thursday night.
Gautier, who has not been able to practice since Hurricane Katrina struck more
than a month ago, showed some rust, but
coach Teri Carpenter still feels her team
will get better.
"Our first bump pass tonight really got
us in trouble," Carpenter said. "We were
kind of scrambling offensively to get anything going.
"East Central has a very good team and
they showed that tonight."
The Lady Hornets jumped out to a 6-1
lead in the opening game as Melton put
together four straight service points.
After a kill by Brittiany Gaines made it
a 6-2 game, Gautier battled to tie the
match as Gaines added another kill and
Ashley Pilkington scored four straight
point.
Golden put East Central back in front
with a kill and after a kill by Gautier’s
Amanda Hollis put the Lady Gators back
in front, Golden sent another spike to the
floor to reclaim the lead.
Golden then put the Lady Hornets back
in front with some solid play from the
service line as she recorded an ace and
three points and East Central never
looked back.
"Christy and Whitney both had great
games for us," Tucker said. "I really feel
like we are gelling as a team right know."
Gautier climbed back in the opening
game, but BreAnn Dykes helped put the
game away with four service points.
Gautier took an early lead in game two,
but East Central scored five straight
points as Lisa Buchanon served in an ace
and Melton sent a kill to the floor for a 52 lead. Melton then got hot from the service line scoring four points, and another
Golden kill put the Lady Hornets ahead
for good.
"We are playing pretty good right now,"
Tucker said. "We’ve moved some players

Chicago clinches
AL Central title
By The Associated Press
DETROIT — Paul Konerko
homered to back Freddy Garcia and lead the White Sox
over the Detroit Tigers 4-2
Thursday, clinching Chicago’s
first AL Central title since
2000.
Chicago built a 15-game
lead in the division on Aug.
1, then saw it dwindle to 1
1/2 games as Cleveland
closed. The White Sox survived a shaky ninth inning to
win their AL-best 96th game
and will start the playoffs at
home next week.

BALTIMORE — Aaron
Small took a one-hitter into
the seventh inning to improve

East Central senior setter
Courtney Ford left Hurley during the hurricane forcing Tucker to move some players
around.
East Central opened the
decisive third game on a 6-1
run as Melton once again was
solid behind the service line.
Gautier closed the game to five
on two occasions in the final
game, but could get no closer.
"I still think we are going to
be alright," Carpenter said. "If
we can get better with the first
pass and set up our offense,
we won’t be running all over

College Football
CSU wins shootout
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Kyle Bell was
one of many stars for the Colorado State
offense Thursday night, rushing for a careerhigh 197 yards and three scores in a 41-23
victory over Air Force.
Bell, a sophomore who earned the starting
job when Nnamdi Ohaeri was lost in the season opener, added this to a 183-yard game
last week and became the first Colorado
State player to record back-to-back 100-yard
games since 2002.
He was a standout on a night full of big performances for the Rams (2-2, 1-0 Mountain
West), who won their second straight and
handed the Falcons (2-3, 1-2) their third
straight loss.
NCAA donates $1.5 million, collecting
money at championships
INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA is donating
$1.5 million to hurricane relief and will collect
additional money during its national championships this year in a new partnership with
Habitat for Humanity.
Under the Home Team program announced
Thursday, officials from NCAA Division II
have made a $1 million donation, while the
NCAA national office is donating an additional
$500,000. The NCAA has also agreed to promote Habitat for Humanity’s hurricane
rebuilding efforts at its national championships.
College sports’ largest governing body also
hopes athletes, coaches, athletics administrators and NCAA employees will volunteer to
assist in rebuilding efforts.
The NCAA plans to sponsor houses in
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas,
where Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused
the most severe damage.
Golf
Warren leads Chrysler
Classic of Greensbror
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Charles Warren
shot a 30 on the front nine and tied the
course record with a 10-under 62 to take the
first-round lead Thursday in the Chrysler
Classic of Greensboro, beating his previous
best on the PGA Tour by four shots.
Warren, who has made only two cuts in his
past 15 starts, was two shots clear of K.J.
Choi and three ahead of fellow Clemson alum
D.J. Trahan.
Scoring in the afternoon improved greatly
as Forest Oaks didn’t quite dry out as expected, and the top seven enjoyed the easier
conditions. John Rollins had the best round of
the early starters — he was in the first group
off No. 10 at 7:30 a.m. — and carded a 67
that left him tied for eighth.
Sergio Garcia had a 69, as did U.S. Ryder
Cup captain Tom Lehman, and Adam Scott
put himself in danger of missing the cut with a
73.
Dunhill Links Championship
ST ANDREWS, Scotland — Rich Beem,
David Howell and Alessandro Tadini shot 5under 67s at Carnoustie to share the firstround lead in the Dunhill Links Championship.
Paul Casey and Darren Clarke were in a
10-player group at 68. They also played at
Carnoustie.
