Katrina shattered south Jackson County and other low-lying areas along the Coast, either See RENTALS, Page 10-A Leaders to rebuild county By NATALIE CHAMBERS The Mississippi Press PASCAGOULA — There is more help on the horizon for Hurricane Katrina-battered Jackson County. Area businessmen, community leaders and some out-oftown well-wishers are teaming to rebuild and make Jackson County better than it was before the storm’s Aug. 29 landfall. A glimpse of a budding blueprint outlining the Rebuild Jackson County Hurricane Relief Fund was unveiled Monday on the front steps of the historic Jackson County Courthouse, which also sustained considerable storm damage. See REBUILD, Page 10-A Emergency Management Agency’s slow response to help the Flagship City after Hurricane Katrina struck on Aug. 29. Much of the recovery efforts have been done by city public works crews, police and fire departments, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Guardsmen and local churches. “These people are working really hard. I can’t say enough about our city employees,” Avara said. Although he has been on national news media talk shows and newspapers, Avara said he wanted Bush to know Pascagoula “experi- enced the same severe damage our sister cities have up and down the Coast. (Katrina) has affected everybody — rich and poor, young and old.” Between 7,000 and 8,000 structures in Pascagoula flooded, said Steve Mitchell, the city’s building official, and city officials met with a housing director with the FEMA to determine when travel trailers for temporary housing will be coming. Avara said city workers will go door-to-door to see who needs to stay in one the 9,000 FEMA travel trailers the city has requested.

Carisa Anderson/The Mississippi Press FAMILY AFFAIR Walter Anderson’s family works to recover artwork damaged by Hurricane Katrina By AMANDA CREEL The Mississippi Press Restoration and recovery of Walter Anderson’s art has been the objective of his family, friends and patrons of his work even before the winds died down and the waters receded after Hurricane Katrina made land fall. “It’s just a horrible situation. It is unbelievable circumstances. We saved a lot of stuff, but now the question is what condition they are saved in,” said Kimberly Parker, a friend and employee of the Anderson family. The Walter Anderson Museum of Art and Community Center in Oceans Springs suffered only minor damage as a result of the category four storm, and all of the art housed there was undamaged. “We didn’t even have a leak,” said Pat Pinson, museum curator. The Shearwater compound and Shearwater Pottery, established by Walter, Peter and Mac Anderson’s parents in 1928, however, were destroyed, along with the homes of many of the Anderson family members. “The important thing is the family is alive and well. And, they will rebuild and they will be back,” said Linda Kerr, manager of Realizations, a See ARTWORK, Page 10-A William Colgin/The Mississippi Press ABOVE: Linda Kerr works to protect an original Walter Anderson block print after it and other priceless artworks were damaged by flooding caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Man’s best friends find helping hands By JOY E. STODGHILL The Mississippi Press GAUTIER — Yelps and meows can occasionally be heard at the Humane Society of the United States’ camp next to the Jackson County Animal Shelter. For the most part, though, the animals are quiet after being rescued from whatever horrible conditions they had been in since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29.

The Humane Society’s main goal is to reconnect displaced animals with their owners, but if that is not possible they will find every animal a good home. Any strays that are found are taken to the animal shelter in the area where they are found, so owners can reclaim them.

Mayor who led Selma dead at 75 SELMA, Ala. (AP) — Joe Smitherman, a segregationist mayor during Selma’s “Bloody Sunday” march in 1965 who went on to change his ways over 36 years in office, died Sunday. He was 75. Smitherman died in a Montgomery hospital, where he was about to begin rehabilitation following hip surgery, his daughter, Diane Smitherman, said. A former appliance Smitherman salesman, Smitherman was a 34-year-old city councilman when first elected mayor in 1964 as a segregationist. Only about 150 blacks were registered to vote in Selma that year. Six months later, marchers seeking equal voting rights were beaten by state troopers on Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge in what came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.” The violence prompted the Selma-to-Montgomery Voting Rights March, led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and encouraged Congress to pass the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which opened Southern polling booths to large numbers of blacks. At the time, Smitherman was opposed to blacks voting in large numbers and once referred to King as “Martin Luther Coon.” He claimed it was a slip of the tongue. Like his friend and mentor, the late Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, Smitherman eventually apologized for his segregationist past and in later years openly campaigned for black votes. He bragged that he appointed nine black department heads, including a black police chief. “In retrospect there were thousands of things I could have done to have helped the situation or even stopped it, but my political strength then, my immaturity and the actors involved decided it,” he said in 1979. As more blacks registered to vote in Selma, Smitherman put together coalitions that crossed racial lines and kept getting re-elected. His tenure as Selma’s longest-serving mayor ended in 2000, when he was defeated by James Perkins, an information technology consultant who became the city’s first black mayor. Despite their political differences, Perkins and Smitherman worked on some projects together. “I’m pleased to say that the mayor and I had made peace,” Perkins said. Some of Smitherman’s most ardent opponents did the same thing. State Rep. Yusuf Salaam, DSelma, said he learned from the former mayor as the two worked together in the city. “There were people, black and white, who tried to demonize him, but it’s not that simple. He was a complex man with many strengths and weaknesses,” Salaam said. “Smitherman was astute in terms of political skills. He had a deep understanding of municipal government.” Services are set for 11 a.m. Tuesday at First Baptist Church. Smitherman will be buried in New Live Oak Cemetery in Selma. Survivors, in addition to his daughter, include a son, Steve Smitherman.

Waiting for Ophelia: Meandering system now a tropical storm WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Ophelia kept up its teasing dance along the coast of the Carolinas on Monday, dropping slightly in strength from hurricane to tropical storm as it barely moved toward land. Although Ophelia was centered more than 200 miles offshore, non-residents were ordered to leave one of North Carolina’s Outer Banks islands and 300 National Guard troops were sent to mustering points along the coast. School systems in five counties closed, even though the storm’s eye was predicted to remain offshore until Wednesday. Many people acknowledged they were paying closer attention to Ophelia because of the vast destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast. Others insisted they would not let the milder storm disrupt their plans. “My family is all coming in for a family reunion, including my 84-year-old mother,” said Dodie Curtis, 62, of Gilford, Maine, on the shore at Wrightsville Beach. “This is our family thing and we don’t plan to go anywhere unless it gets a lot worse.” Any appearances to the contrary, Gov. Mike Easley said the state was doing its normal storm preparation. “We have, unfortunately, a great deal of experience with hurricanes. I think one of the things people in North Carolina will be able to recognize is that this is the exact same pattern we always follow,” he said. Ophelia was a minimal hurricane early Monday with sustained winds of 75 mph, but by midday it had weakened to about 70 mph, 4 mph below the threshold, the National Hurricane Center said. Meteorologists warned, though, that the system had the potential to regain hurricane strength over the next day or so. A tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch remained in effect from Cape Lookout south to Edisto Beach, S.C. At 7 p.m. CDT, Ophelia was centered about 160 miles eastsoutheast of Charleston, S.C., and 260 miles south-southwest of Cape Hatteras, the hurricane center said. It was moving northwest at about 4 mph with a gradual turn to the north expected during the next 24 hours. With the storm’s path uncertain, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford called for a voluntary evacuation Monday of oceanfront and riverside areas in his state’s northeastern corner. He was joined by officials in North Carolina’s adjacent Brunswick County. The storm’s slow movement is its primary danger, bringing the likelihood that it will hang over eastern North Carolina for days, Easley said. Ophelia became a tropical storm Wednesday off the Florida coast. It is the 15th named storm and seventh hurricane in this year’s busy Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1 and ends Nov. 30.

MGCCC resumes classes, adjusts students’ schedules By ALLISON MATHER The Mississippi Press Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College will resume fall classes at all locations, except the Keesler Center, tomorrow. The State Board for Community and Junior Colleges has reduced the number of instructional minutes required for community colleges affected by Hurricane Katrina. However, instructional time will still need to be made up for day classes. Most night classes will be unaffected. “We want to assure students that they will be able to complete a full semester of courses this fall and stay on track with their degree programs,” said Cheryl Thompson-Stacy, vice president for academic and student affairs. “We will expand our class meeting times for daytime classes two minutes each day,” she said. “For example, Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes will meet from 8-8:55 a.m. (instead of 8:53), 99:55 a.m., 10-10:55 a.m., etc. Thursday classes will meet from 8-9:25 a.m. (instead of 9:23), 9:3010:55 a.m., etc.” Day and night classes will meet Dec. 12, and Dec. 13, as regularly-scheduled classes at their regularly-scheduled times. These dates were originally scheduled as final exams, but final exams have been rescheduled for Dec. 14-16 and possibly Dec. 17. A new final-exam schedule is being developed and will be sent to faculty as soon as possible, Thompson-Stacy said. The college will observe the upcoming holidays as originally scheduled. Though classrooms remain intact, some students may no longer have the necessary textbooks or supplies. Communications director Colleen Hartfield said students will not bear the cost of replacing books lost during Hurricane Katrina. “If a student lost any textbook, we are going to replace it at zero cost,” she said. Faculty and staff returned to each campus Monday. Nellie Franklin, a secretary in the adult basic skills office on the Jackson County campus, said returning to a routine is good, but returning to ‘normal’ is another story. “Now that’s going to be kind of hard because everything is just kind of...” she tapered off, looking around the make-shift office at walls missing the bottom 18 inches of sheet rock. “Right now it’s hard,” she said. “Mainly what I’m trying to do is now is just get a sense of where to begin. It’s going to be fine. We’re going to take it one day at a time.” Damage at the eight locations that comprise MGCCC was varied, but all had wind and flood damage, Hartfield said. Piles of loose bricks litter the entrance of the front facade on the Jefferson Davis campus, the east side of the maintenance building sustained heavy damage and the residential carpentry department was flooded with at least 16 inches of water. The damage has forced some changes. Keesler Center classes will be moved to the Jefferson Davis Campus. High school programs at the George County and West Harrison County centers will resume when the public schools in those areas reopen. To help accommodate students from the New Orleans area and University of South Mississippi Gulf Coast, MGCCC has extended fall registration through Sept. 20 and will offer an expanded 9-week course schedule that will begin Oct. 24. Registration for the second 9-week term will be ongoing. The student absentee policy has been suspended this semester, and the college will allow students to withdraw from classes until the Friday before final exams on Dec. 9 without penalty to their GPAs. However, Nov. 25 is the withdrawal date for online classes. For more information, students can call 866735-1122 or a specific campus.

Mold takes hold in neighborhoods ■ Health officials concerned about black mold’s effects on residents By BRAD CROCKER The Mississippi Press PASCAGOULA — Nora Brown, her eight grandchildren and other family members have been living with no furniture or possessions. Since Hurricane Katrina hit, the Brown family has taken in a new tenant — the mold left growing in their flood-soaked home on the corner of Martin Street and Lanier Avenue in Pascagoula. “Everything’s just gone, it’s gone. We have to start all over again from day one. It’s rough,” said Brown, 49, who’s now worried about her family’s health. One grandchild has stopped eating and began vomiting, she said, possibly from exposure to mold. The child was taken to the hospital but returned home. Brown, like thousands of other Pascagoula and Coast residents, has water and electricity and has opted to stay in her home. She also has no means to get contractors, who are in short supply, to remove the mold growing in the place she has called home for five years. Health officials are concerned about overexposure to MOLD INFORMATION Safely Preventing Mold Growth • Clean up and dry building quickly. • When in doubt, take it out! Remove all porous items that have been wet for more than 48 hours and that cannot be thoroughly cleaned and dried. These items can remain a source of mold growth and should be removed from the home. Porous, noncleanable items include carpeting and carpet padding, wood and food. Removal and cleaning are important because even dead mold may cause allergic reactions in some people. black mold resulting from hurricanes and the complications that arise for people with asthma, allergies or other breathing conditions, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Cancer patients taking chemotherapy, and those who have received an organ transplant are also susceptible to mold infections. Brown has registered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for financial assistance and temporary housing, but has not heard about the status of her claim. “We have nowhere else to go,” she said. Across town on Meadowbrook Street, Katrina, a stray dog adopted by Jeffrey Diamond’s family frolics around 1 the property that received 2 ⁄2 feet of unprecedented flood water in the Pinecrest subdivision. Diamond’s mother, Delois Stevens, and his grandmother, Mary Diamond, were waiting for an insurance adjuster and a FEMA representative because the five vehicles on the property were also claimed by Hurricane Katrina. They have been working on the sheet rock and pulling carpet to rid the house of mold. “We’ve been trying to get it out,” said Stevens, pointing to mold that caked underneath the tub and other areas. “People don’t know it can do that,” she said of the mold’s growth. Stevens’ father, C.T. Burkes, helped build Pinecrest around 50 years ago, where residents are still in awe of the flood that Katrina brought to south central part Pascagoula. “You look around and there’s damage everywhere, to everyone,” she said. “You’ve got to save what’s left.” Reporter Brad Crocker can be reached at [email protected] or (866) 8439020. PASCAGOULA — Felicia Johnson of Moss Point sat in her car as an air compressor filled her tire and free gas was pumped into her tank. “I thank the Lord for it,” she said. “They must be good people to come down here and help us. That’s a blessing from the Lord.” Johnson and many other motorists who waited in the southbound lane of Chicot Street near I.G. Levy Park for as much as two hours experienced a miracle Monday. Ted Honcharik, chief executive officer of Riverside, Calif.based Pacific Tank Lines, had parked a 9,000-gallon tanker truck in the Church on the Rock parking lot and was filling car, van and pickup truck tanks with free gasoline. A large number people patiently waited in a line that stretched north to Nathan Hale Street. He said the gasoline give away was not affiliated with the church. “This happened to be the best place we found,” he said. Honcharik and Pacific Tanklines employee Dave Ankerman, who volunteered to drive the truck, left California at 5 a.m. last Friday and arrived Sunday night in Pascagoula. They began pumping gas at 7:30 a.m. Monday and had pumped about 1,800 gallons by about 1 p.m. Some of the gas went into 5gallon plastic cans that were taken by volunteers to people who were unable to drive to the church parking lot. “My family was in Florida with Hurricane Andrew,” he said. “And no one did anything.” When he saw the damage and the problems on the Coast caused by Hurricane Katrina, Honcharik said he determined gasoline would be a prime commodity. “I called my customers and vendors and asked them to donate cash or gasoline,” he said. “If they donated cash, we Carisa Anderson/The Mississippi Press People wait in line to get gas from a 9,000-gallon tanker truck parked at the Church on the Rock in Pascagoula Monday. Pacific Tank Lines of Riverside, Ca., brought gasoline to help relieve the need for gas on the Coast. bought gasoline. All of this is gasoline from California from vendors and jobbers.” The price of gasoline in California, he said, is $3 a gallon, adding that the estimated value of the donation, including the cash and fuel and the cost of travel was about $35,000 to $40,000. “I am a Christian and God has blessed us,” Ankerman said. “I’m glad to assist them here and help out our brothers. If something like this happened in California, like an earthquake, I would like someone to come help us. The government doesn’t do a thing. People help people.” Honcharik said that the despite the long line and the wait, people were very patient. “Everyone has been very pleasant,” he said. “They’ve thanked us for the gas and been very polite. There was a lady with Parkinson’s Disease who they let go ahead so she wouldn’t have to wait long in line.” “It’s a blessing,” said Vickie Hines, who lives on Argentina Street in Pascagoula. “We lost everything; our house and property, but everyone in our family survived. I can’t believe the outpouring of help from everybody across the country.” “You’ve saved a lot of people,” Sonny Arthur told Honcharik. Arthur, a former Pascagoula resident and transportation company operator who recently moved back to the city, said he has been bringing donations from Central Mississippi to the Coast. “These are people with limited incomes and they’re willing to help the people here,” he said. “And they’re not donating old clothes, they are buying new clothes to give. I hope the folks here will remember the people from Central Mississippi. They’ve done a lot.” John Surratt can be reached at (866) 843-9020 or at [email protected].

The temporary office was set up by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. Spokeswoman Marilyn Minor said their 14th Street location has been closed since Hurricane Katrina. The new office’s hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Dazed survivors left jobless by Katrina By VICKI SMITH The Associated Press BILOXI — For the first few days, they wandered dazed and disbelieving through their flattened or flooded homes, wondering where they would get their next meal or a drink of clean water. Then the victims of Hurricane Katrina realized something else was gone: Their jobs. “My company is broke,” says Tiec Nguyen, a 35-year-old blackjack dealer at Casino Magic who is 8 months pregnant with her second child. “I don’t know what to do.” A government report says Katrina will ultimately erase about 400,000 jobs in the coming months, though others offer a dimmer outlook. Some private estimates say job losses could reach 1 million. Officials in Mississippi and Louisiana have not yet issued any formal estimates of job loss in their states, and say they are too focused on search and recovery to address Katrina’s longrange economic fallout. Nguyen’s husband, Ba Van Dang, 38, worked in another key industry along the Gulf Coast. His shrimp boat now sits wrecked in a cove with many others, the season shot for the year. “I try to think about moving away from here, but I don’t know where I find a job,” he says. If he finds one, it may be far from Mississippi and the four hurricanes he’s survived here. “I think that’s enough in my life,” he says. Katrina walloped the port at Gulfport, gutting the east pier facilities and wiping out cargo plants that handle forest products, aluminum, paper and more. It destroyed bakeries, bars and every kind of business in between, leaving coastline landmarks like the Beau Rivage too unsafe to enter. John Gustafson, general manager of Rex Distributing in Gulfport, Miss., an Anheuser-Busch distributor that employed 110 people in and around Biloxi before the storm, says about 500 of the company’s 969 customers remain. He said he would be able to retain most of the employees and was working to place the others in jobs elsewhere. Pawn shop owner Hayes Bolton will have to let his 10 workers go and worries about what will happen to them. “I can’t start rebuilding next week,” he says. “It just can’t be done.” But in time, it will be. “It’s either that or commit suicide,” he says. Some businesses will recover faster than others. Mississippi’s largest private-sector employer, Northrop Grumman Corp., builds ships at the Navy yard in Pascagoula. It planned to pay its 12,000 people through the end of last week and hopes to phase in production within weeks. Philip Teel, president of ship systems, says a quarter of the workers have already returned. Beverly Martin, executive director of the Mississippi Casino Operators Association, says the industry’s top priority is to get 17,000 people back to work soon. But no one knows when that might be. Harrah’s, for example, says it can’t estimate reopening dates for Grand Casino Biloxi or Grand Casino Gulfport, but it will continue paying its 6,000 workers a regular salary for up to 90 days. Cathy Kessler still has a job at the damaged Isle of Capri casino and hotel and expects to keep it — but only because she’s in charge of a hotel maintenance crew that has plenty of work ahead. “The worry is really whether they can fill up the hotel with no casino there,” she says. Employees there have been told it could be 18 months before the casino is rebuilt. Until then, Kessler’s hoping the hotel might be filled with construction and relief workers. NEW ORLEANS — The bodies of more than 40 mostly elderly patients were found in a flooded-out hospital in the biggest known cluster of corpses to be discovered so far in hurricaneravaged New Orleans. The exact circumstances under which they died were unclear, with at least one hospital official saying Monday that some of the patients had died before the storm, while the others succumbed to causes unrelated to Katrina. The announcement, which could raise Louisiana’s death toll to nearly 280, came as President Bush got his first up-close look at the destruction, and business owners were let back in to assess the damage and begin the slow process of starting over. Meanwhile, encouraging signs of recovery were all around: Nearly two-thirds of southeastern Louisiana’s water treatment plants were up and running. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport planned to open to limited passenger service Tuesday. A plane carrying equipment to rebuild the city’s mobile phone networks took off from Sweden. And 41 of 174 permanent pumps were in operation, on pace to help drain this still half-flooded city by Oct. 8. In Washington, Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown announced 2EBUILD 2ECOVER 2ETRAIN !SYOUREBUILDYOURLIFEKNOWTHATWEAREHERETOHELP YOUSHAPEANEWFUTURE&INANCIALASSISTANCEISAVAILABLE 4EXTBOOKSDAMAGEDINTHESTORMWILLBEREPLACEDATNO CHARGEANDCOUNSELORSAREHERETOANSWERYOURQUESTIONS -ISSISSIPPI'ULF#OAST#OMMUNITY#OLLEGEWILLREOPENAND RESUME&ALLCLASSESON7%$.%3$!93%04 +EESLER#ENTERCLASSESWILLMEETATTHE*$#AMPUS #OLLEGEOFlCESWILLBEOPEN-ONDAY3EPTTOASSISTSTUDENTS 2ESIDENCEHALLSONTHE0ERKINSTON#AMPUSWILLOPENATPM 4UESDAY3EPT Escaped murder suspect caught at Florida hurricane shelter HATTIESBURG (AP) — One of two murder suspects who escaped from the MarionWalthall Correctional Facility i n Mi s s is s ip p i has been caught by Florida officials after trying to get food from a shelter for hurricane victims. Curtis Dickson, 25, was arrested last Friday in Molino, Fla. Carolyn James, a manager at the American Red Cross shelter in Molino, said Dickson had been turned away last Tuesday because he said he lived in Pensacola, Fla. She said Dickson returned Friday and tried to get food but was again rebuffed when he showed a Florida ID. “He started getting a little rough, so I called the deputy,” James said. The name on the ID that Dickson showed at the shelter matched one of his aliases, said Sgt. Ted Roy, Escambia County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman. Florida officials said Dickson and Steven Kirkley, 27, escaped Sept. 5 through an air vent in the MarionWalthall facility in Mississip- pi. Marion County authorities released no details about how the men escaped, and Marion County Sheriff Rip Stringer has not responded to repeated requests from the Hattiesburg American for comment. Dickson is being held without bond in the Escambia County Jail in Pensacola. John C. Stringer, 22, a third escapee, was caught Sept. 5 by Marion County sheriff ’s deputies. He was being held on receiving stolen property charges. Dickson was in jail on two counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault and Kirkley on a capital murder charge. Neither has been convicted. Dickson was a suspect in the shooting deaths of Johnny Collins, 27, and Jermaine Kelly, 15, of Marion County. Collin s an d Kelly were killed in April 2004 in northeast Marion County. Kelly was found shot in a vehicle. Collins was transferred from Marion County General Hospital to Wesley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Kirkley is charged in the 2004 slaying of 65-year-old Janell Hatton, a Marion County real estate agent. Four other people also were charged in connection with the slaying. Hatton’s body was found in a shallow grave inside a rundown barn in the Kokomo community, about 20 miles from Hatton’s home. he was resigning “in the best interest of the agency and best interest of the president.” Brown has been vilified for the government’s slow and unfocused response to a disaster that is already being called the nation’s costliest hurricane ever. The bodies were found Sunday at the 317-bed Memorial Medical Center, but the exact number was unclear. Bob Johannesen, a spokesman for the state Department of Health and Hospitals, said 45 patients had been found; hospital assistant administrator David Goodson said there were 44, plus three on the grounds. Also unclear was exactly how the patients died. Goodson said patients died while waiting to be evacuated over the four days after the hurricane hit, as temperatures inside the hospital reached 106 degrees. “I would suggest that that had a lot to do with” the deaths, he said of the heat. Family members and nurses were “literally standing over the patients, fanning them,” he said. Steven Campanini, a spokesman for the hospital’s owner, Tenet Healthcare Corp., said some of the patients were dead in the hospital’s morgue before the storm arrived, and none of the deaths resulted from lack of food, water or electricity to power medical equipment. Campanini said many of the patients were seriously ill before Katrina hit. &ALLREGISTRATIONCONTINUESUNTIL3EPT MYCOLLEGEMYCOMMUNITY WWWMGCCCEDU %/%!!!$!#OLLEGE NOW OPEN!

Black Caucus chair: Put Mississipians first for hurricane rebuilding By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS The Associated Press JACKSON — As Mississippi communities start rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina, contractors and construction workers from the devastated communities need to get the first shot at jobs, the chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus says. Rep. Walter Robinson, DBolton, said contractors and workers from other parts of the state should be next in line — ahead of out-of-state firms. “I think there’s enough work for everyone,” Robinson said Monday during a luncheon sponsored by the Capitol press corps and Mississippi State University’s John C. Stennis Institute of Government. Over the years, the 47member Legislative Black Caucus has worked to ensure that certain percentages of state contracts are open to minority-owned firms, sometimes angering critics who oppose mandatory or suggested set-asides. Robinson didn’t specifically discuss minority contracting on Monday. In the past, caucus leaders have said it’s good public policy to ensure that firms owned by racial TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2005 minorities or women have a fair shot at doing business with the state. Robinson has been in the House since January 1984 and his district is entirely in Hinds County. His two-year tenure as Black Caucus chairman started in April 2004. All 47 black lawmakers are members of the caucus. Robinson said any black person elected to the Legislature is automatically part of the group unless he or she specifically asks to drop out of it. Only one white lawmaker — Sen. Deborah Dawkins, DPass Christian — has tried to join the caucus in recent years. Caucus members don’t always vote as a group. Robinson said on some issues, black lawmakers vote with the House Conservative Coalition, which is made up mostly of Republicans, or with the a group that’s not formally organized but carries weight on some issues — the rural white Democrats. Robinson said he’s disappointed that on some issues, members of other formal or informal groups don’t vote with the caucus. “Like the children say, ’It shouldn’t be any shame to be in my game,’ to be associated with us,” he said. 372,000 students displaced by Katrina ■ Education secretary declines cost to rebuild By BEN FELLER The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Hurricane Katrina has booted at least 372,000 students from classrooms in Louisiana and Mississippi, and Education Secretary Margaret Spellings said Monday there are no clear answers about who will pay to educate them. In an interview with The Associated Press, Spellings ga ve t he m ost sweep ing assessment of how the hurricane has affected schools just as the academic year begins. In Louisiana, more than 247,000 public and private school students have been displaced. The storm forced 489 schools to close. At least six parishes have destroyed or damaged buildings, she said. In Mississippi, more than 125,000 students have been forced elsewhere. Some 226 schools in 30 districts are closed and almost 30 schools have been destroyed. Spellings declined to estimate how much it will cost states to rebuild devastated districts or serve displaced students — and how much the federal government will cover. “I shouldn’t be talking about the details that I’m in negotiations with the White House and the (Capitol) Hill on,” Spellings said. “As soon as I can talk about it, I want to talk about it.” President Bush has told Spellings to develop a plan to provide aid for the states. She has promised states she will provide relief in every reasonable form she can. In the interview, Spellings said she will ask Congress for unprecedented authority to ease aspects of a federal law governing the education of hom eless child ren. She already had pledged to consider using her powers to waive parts of the law known as No Child Left Behind, including requirements on yearly testing and teacher quality. Still, Spellings cautioned: “I AP First grader Camille Ciolino, left, jokes with her assigned buddy, Lillie Thompson, during class at Southfield School Monday after evacuating Metairie, La. with her family and relocating to Shreveport, La. Several schools in the Shreveport-Bossier City area are taking in displaced students due to Hurricane Katrina and are waiving fees and tuition to help them cope. obviously don’t think this is an opportunity for every state in the country to get ’No Child Left Behind is off this year.’ We’re just not there yet.” School districts nationwide are enrolling displaced students who have friends or family from the Gulf Coast — or children who just have nowhere else to go. Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Los A ngeles an d man y o th e r places are reporting such enrollment. Universities are absorbing tens of thousands of college students stranded by the hurricane. In Louisiana, an estimated 73,000 such students from p ub l i c an d p r i v ate schools have been displaced and 15 campuses have been closed, Spellings’ office said. “I think the school community has responded very well. Obviously, we’re part of that,” she said. “We’ve tried to make this as easy as possible, with all the tools that we have to bring to bear immediately. I’ll be accountable for that.” Overall, more than 25 states say they have taken in displaced students. Texas schools expect an influx of roughly 60,000 students. In a letter to the Education Department, Texas Ed u c ati o n Co mmi ssi o n e r Sh i r l e y N e e l e y sai d sh e expects to spend $7,500 per student this year. That means the price of educating evacuees could be at least $450 million. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has told the state it is eligible to be reimbursed for expenses such as temporary schools and mental health counselors. But the hiring of teachers and buying of books are not eligible expenses for relief aid, a FEMA memo says. The Houston school system has taken in more than 3,000 students displaced students. If the figure reaches at least 5,000 students, as expected, the district’s cost would be abo u t $30 mi l l i o n , sai d spokesman Terry Abbott. As for college students, Spellings said the government would not try to take back federal financial aid already given students who been forced to move to other schools for at least a semester. That could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, out of about $100 billion disbursed annually. The department is considering what to do about aid distributed to help affected students who opt to take time off or work rather than enrolling at a new school, a spokeswoman said. Asked about another college matter — claims of a liberal bias by professors on college campuses — Spellings said she saw no federal role in refereeing such disputes. “I certainly don’t want to be getting into the personnel evaluation business of higher-ed faculty,” she said.

Jackson County supervisors approve 2005-06 budget By NATALIE CHAMBERS The Mississippi Press AP St. Bernard Parish residents sit throughout the Senate Chambers at the Capitol Monday in Baton Rouge, La. Thousands of St. Bernard Parish residents who journeyed to the state Capitol, desperate for information about their homes, received only grim news Monday: Every part of the parish was flooded by Hurricane Katrina. St. Bernard Parish residents overflow Baton Rouge By MELINDA DESLATTE The Associated Press BATON ROUGE, La. — Thousands of St. Bernard Parish residents who journeyed to the state Capitol, desperate for information about their homes, received only grim news Monday: Every part of the parish was flooded by Hurricane Katrina. Some homes were coated with oil from a nearby refinery. And one official estimated no one would live in the parish until at least summertime. “When you go back to St. Bernard, the only memories you’re going to have is what you left with,” Parish President Henry “Junior” Rodriguez told a crowd in the House chamber that lined the walls, filled up the balcony and spilled down the stairs of the building. State police estimated the crowd reached as many as 5,000 people, who filled hallways of the Capitol, hoping to gather scraps of information about a parish whose devasta- tion was overshadowed by the flooding of New Orleans and the chaos that followed there. “It’s sort of like the stepchild and the forgotten parish,” said Frances Smith, a resident of Meraux, awaiting a briefing from parish officials. Rodriguez was upfront about the status of the parish. To Shell Beach residents, he told them a few buildings weathered the storm but may not be repairable. To Hopedale residents, he said not one structure was standing. “When you go back, you won’t recognize it,” he told all residents. For homes that may have been repairable after the waters receded, an oil spill at Murphy Oil in Meraux may have made them uninhabitable, officials warned. Despite estimates of a long recovery, officials said they hoped the community would rebuild and that residents would return. PASCAGOULA — Jackson County will not face a tax increase during the upcoming budget year. The board of supervisors Monday approved operating on 53.5 mills for the upcoming 2005-06 budget year.

Libraries wave overdue fees Public libraries are opening up and hoping to serve the community as a refuge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. “It’s a good place for people to go and get away from the storm. You can’t get away from the problems, but we can take a break and think about something else,” said Bob Willits, director of the Jackson County Library System. Library officials also want the community to know that they will not be charging the community for books lost to Katrina’s wrath. “I know overdue charges are the last thing on people’s minds right now, but we just want them to know they don’t have to cross their minds at all,” Willits said. All public libraries within the Jackson County library system except the Pascagoula Public Library will be open today. “All of the staff of all of our libraries survived the storm and are ready to serve our communities,” Willits said. The libraries will be serving water to all its patrons. It will also be checking out books to library members and provide library memberships to relief workers. “We will kind of be back in the 50’s, checking people out with pen and paper. But, we will get it done,” Willits said. Sheriff’s Department fielding missing persons calls PASCAGOULA — If you or someone you know is having difficulty locating a loved one, call the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department at (228) 769-3063. Sheriff Mike Byrd said sheriff department chaplains have been handling missing person calls. “At this point, we have some military that are freed up that can speed that process up.” Byrd said. “So, if we can get some calls in from folks that haven’t heard anything so we can deploy the military plus sheriff’s office personnel now since things are starting to settle down a little bit.” The number of calls that had been made so far was not available. “There’s a lot of debris that has to be removed, too. We don’t know if somebody is under that. This is something we want to try to address within the next week or two and have that behind us,” he said. The formal search for missing persons will begin at the western section of the county today. A bit of certainty in an uncertain time: we’re here to help.

Rebuild From Page 1-A The group is looking past the ice, water and bread stage and into a three- to five-year full recovery plan. Sara Baker, 12, and a bunch of her friends heard how the aggressive fund-raising campaign, which falls under the umbrella of the Bacot/Jolly McCarty Foundation, will bring millions of dollars into Jackson County to improve the quality of life there. Sara knows the need. At an early age, she is learning how to cope with the fear, uncertainty and heartbreak that a hurricane’s devastation can cause. Her family’s Shepherd Street home was inundated with six feet of water. “I think they were supposed to bulldoze it (Monday),” she said. Sara is still trying to adjust. “It’s so weird. It’s not like anything that’s ever happened before. You don’t know how to do things. We are staying at my aunt’s house, my whole family, and it’s so crowded,” she said. If Sara could have had a wish granted, it would be for the storm to never have hit. A post-wish is “for my family to have a place to stay,” she said. The saddest post effect: Watching family and friends move away and having to transfer to new schools. Her friend, Nicole Noblitt, 11, wishes her family had gotten out all their belongings. “We didn’t bring everything, and we’re pretty upset about that,” she said. “I wish that we get a house really soon,” said John Noblitt, 9. The young storm victims and the relief fund organizers are thinking along the same lines, particularly where schools and homes are concerned. Getting classrooms across the county back in shape is expected to be a priority project. “The committee is chartered to look beyond the day-to-day needs of our community and to try to focus on some fundamentals that are going to be so essential as we work our way through what I call the crisis part of recovery,” said Jerry St. Pé, chairman of Jackson County Economic Development Foundation’s board of directors. The relief fund’s mission statement is to bring about a collaborative effort of private citizens, non-profits, faith-based groups, social service agencies, businesses, government officials and others to assess and prioritize the unmet needs of Jackson County; develop and strategize a recovery plan for the county and implement recovery efforts. Royce Cumbest, president of Merchants and Marine Bank and Manly Barton, president of Jackson County Board of Supervisors are cochairs. The relief program, which is in the formative stage, is patterned after the success of Escambia County, Fla., which was visited by Hurricane Ivan last year. The Northwest Florida county set up a non-profit so that they could be better able to accept the direct donations of food, clothing and cash that came in following the storm. “They’ve given us a lot of help in getting us started,” said Barton. Cumbest said their goal is to do some long- IN SUMMARY What happened: Area business and community leaders announced the formation of the Rebuild Jackson County Hurricane Relief Fund. Its mission is to assess the long-range unmet needs of Jackson County and implement a recovery program. The plan: To initiate a massive relief effort with partners locally and across the globe to raise money to rebuild a stronger Jackson County. What’s next: Accounts are set up at all Merchants and Marine locations. The account number is 4009940. The routing number 065301362. Web site is www.bacotmccarty.org. Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 1442, Pascagoula, MS 39568-1442. E Commerce will be setup for Internet contributions. The relief fund is a 501 (3) (c), non profit under the Bacot/Jolly McCarty Foundation. rang planning for Jackson County. “We want good representation from all segments of the community because we want to be able to assess all needs in the community,” he said. “This fund will be 100 percent for this recovery effort,” said Cumbest. “There will be no administrative fees.” Organizers also include Dr. Dewey Lane, chairman of the Bacot/Jolly P. McCarty Foundation; Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd, Steve Renfroe of Chevron Refinery and Ed Jones of Ed Jones CPA Group. The commission will eventually consist of 30 to 35 members. “What can we do now that will affect the rebuilding three to five years out? We don’t know the answers to those questions yet, but getting started in that process is important,” said Renfroe. Todd Trenchard, communications director for Merchants and Marine said Shane Matthew, quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets cornerback Terrell Buckley have committed to the fund-raising effort. The National Football League personalities were not in attendance during the press conference. By Sept. 23, Douglas County, Colo., will be a household name in Jackson County. After hearing of destruction and homelessness caused by Hurricane Katrina, Douglas County adopted Jackson County. Douglas County officials anticipate the “Douglas County Cares — Katrina Relief” event, which began as a grassroots movement, will raise upward of $1 million for Jackson County. Douglas County’s tie to Jackson County began similarly to those of Manhattan Beach, Calif., Washington, N.J., and Burgaw, N.C. — as a plan to deliver supplies and form similar relationships with Pascagoula, Ocean Springs and Gautier. “Hurricane Katrina didn’t end Jackson County. It changed our appearance a little bit but it didn’t tarnish our commitment and confidence in the future of Jackson County,” said St. Pé.

Artwork From Page 1-A store featuring the work of Walter Anderson that is run by the famous artist’s family in the L&N rail depot in Ocean Springs. All the works and other family treasures such as family photos were housed in a vault on the family property and sustained substantial damage. The only home that survived on the Shearwater compound was the home of Leif Anderson. The ballet studio within her home was transformed into a triage unit to save the Walter Anderson family’s private collection. The triage unit was where the first recovery and restoration efforts for the artwork took place. “We have just worked like dogs to save this stuff,” said Dennis Walker, registrar at the Museum. After the storm, when power was restored to the Walter Anderson Museum of Art and Community Center, the triage unit was relocated there. Operations continue in hopes of sav- TO HELP Two funds have been established to aid the Anderson Family. One fund will be dedicated to the restoration of the art damaged in Hurricane Katrina. The second fund will be dedicated to the possibility of rebuilding Shearwater Pottery.

The Anderson family works side by side with friends and supporters of the family’s artistic endeavors to dry out and restore the flooded and mudcaked art. As you enter the Community Center, the Walter Anderson mural follows you as you stare down at the damaged paintings, sketches and journal entries that were recovered from the Anderson family vault, which was submerged as Hurricane Katrina pounded the family’s property. The family treasures, left by Walter Anderson, are scattered on tables and sheets in the community center. Each piece of art is dried out and then laid between sheets of acid-free papers. According to John Anderson, Shearwater Pottery is only closed temporarily until repairs can be made. “The water level at the Shearwater Pottery appears to have been about 28 feet. It was just massive destruction,” said John Anderson, the Anderson family spokesperson. The museum plans to reopen once they are able to find a safe home for the restoration efforts of the family’s collection, Pinson said. “Walter Anderson gave of himself to the community, and now the community is giving of its self to him,” Kerr said.

From Page 1-A Pascagoula’s mayor said he’s still unsure how many units are coming, but city crews and the Corps will help connect water and sewer to the units. Plots of land are also being considered to place small neighborhoods for temporary housing. Some Pascagoula residents won a small reprieve Monday from being kicked out of their Pascagoula apartments by the property owners. A group of tenants at Brentstone Apartments on Bartlett Avenue were informed last week that they would be forced to leave and that there would be new locks and their windows would be boarded up because Hurricane Katrina made the complex uninhabitable. About one foot of water reached some downstairs apartments, and those residents said they removed the carpet and bleached the walls to prevent mold infestation. “We’ve gotten together, stuck together. I’m not going anywhere,” said Woody Davis, 37, who along with other tenants was told they would have to leave by 5 p.m. Monday. Some upstairs residents say they had no damage at all from the storm, and everyone who stayed Monday said they wanted to remain living there. Willie Jones, 69, has lived at Brentstone for 20 years. After taking care of his dialysis concerns early after the storm and cleaning his bottom floor apartment, he said he’s OK with the “We’ve gotten together, stuck together. I’m not going anywhere.” — Woody Davis, 37, Brentstone resident living conditions. “I would like to have my apartment,” Jones said, grateful for a place to live after Katrina flooded most of the city. He said he was “dumbfounded” about the property owners’ intentions, because “I guess it’s really hard to find some place to stay. It’s just a mess.” Mitchell said the city has not condemned any structures because of the shortage of housing and that Brentstone could be condemned at a later date. Mitchell said anyone staying in their homes, no matter where they’re situated, are doing so at their own risk because of mold and other concerns. “We don’t have any place for (residents) to go yet. Until we’ve got some place for (residents) to go, we can’t throw them out on the streets,” Mitchell said. The city is urging apartment owners to work with the city and residents while solutions are being sought. Brentstone manager Sharon Watson said “the grounds are unsafe” and “it’s unlivable right now.” She said they were working with the Red Cross to find tenants. “We don’t want to be liable for anyone,” Watson said. Mitchell said he spoke with the man who owns Brentstone and “got him to change his way of thinking” for the time being. Bartlett Bayou Apartments, located next door to Brentstone, are near completion. “These are extreme times, and we have to think outside the box,” Mitchell said. A spokeswoman with U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor’s office said they were investigating a possible breach of Section 8 and Housing and Urban Development laws, including evicting the tenants to provide housing for others at higher prices. Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood’s office was also contacted. Meanwhile, Mitchell said residents should “know (what contractors) you’re letting into your house” and should not pay money up front. He said permit fees are being waived. The city is requiring all contractors to register with the code enforcement office, and the city has obtained several outside damage assessment teams and inspectors with special inspector badges to help speed up the process of approving homes’ conditions. Residents should call 9386620 before hiring a contractor to confirm their legitimacy and to avoid possible scams. Reporter Brad Crocker can be reached at [email protected] or (866) 8349020. Rentals From Page 1-A destroying homes and businesses or severely damaging buildings. Several area Realtors said that they recently received numerous telephone calls from county residents and business owners living south of U.S. 90 asking about property north of the highway to either relocate and build or rent while they try to rebuild on their existing property. “I’ve had any number of people calling me asking about industrial property, commercial acreage and residential in the northeast part of the county,” Realtor Mark Cumbest of Cumbest Realty said. “A lot of residents and businesses are looking to relocate in the northern part of the county. “Most of the lease property is taken up,” he said. “We have people asking about buying lots to build and making offers on existing homes.” Many businesses, Cumbest said, are looking for space to lease until they get their permanent site back. Tiffani Strunk of Heritage Realty said she has received calls from people wanting to sell their property. “We’ve had several people call us asking us to list their property,” she said. “They’re saying, ‘we’ve had enough; we’re getting out.’ Most of them have family members in the northern part of the state and they’re moving up there to be with them. A lot of people are waiting for their insurance and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to look at their homes before they do anything.” Some, she said, are looking for property south of U.S. 90 and other people are looking to rent property while they wait for their homes to be rebuilt. “There is going to be a market for rental property in the city because people will be looking for homes,” Strunk said. Realtor John Jones agreed. “I’ve gotten a lot of calls from people looking for a house to rent or one to buy and later resell when their homes are ready,” he said. Jones said he has only received two calls from people who said they wanted to sell their property and leave. Both calls, he said, were from elderly couples who said they had had enough of the assault from storms and were leaving. “Most of the people I’ve talked to have told me they’re staying,” he said. “They plan to rebuild and move back in.” Krista Deering, a Realtor with Jim Biddix Realty in Ocean Springs, said she has received calls from people wanting to sell, but added the biggest need that she sees is rental property. “There are so many people who have lost everything and are in need of help; it’s terrible,” she said. “I’m getting a lot of phone calls from people looking for some place to rent. If I had 10,000 camper trailers, I could rent every one. “We are in property management, and there is just not much available. I want to help those people. But there’s no way I can. It’s terrible.” As the recovery from Katrina continues, Cumbest said he foresees an eventual building boom in northeast Jackson County as many people decide to take their insurance settlements and sell their homes or property south of U.S. 90. Some building is already taking place — in Pascagoula. Strunk said the Scranton Place condominiums are currently under construction, which began soon after Katrina passed. Several people have already bought units, she said. Jones said he expects Pascagoula to come back. “There’s a spirit in this community,” he said. “People are helping each other; they’re just waiting on their insurance and FEMA settlements to be resolved. “You hear people talk about families; their church family, their work family,” he said. “They have a neighborhood family, and they don’t want to leave their family.” Reporter John Surratt can be reached at [email protected] or (866) 834-9020. Animals From Page 1-A everything and have no home may choose to have their animals put in a foster home until they are able to provide for their pet. Other owners may decide to do an “owner surrender” and give their animal up to a good adopted home. Pet owners affected by the storm who are still able to care for their animals can stop by the camp, which is located next to the Jackson County Animal Shelter on Audubon Drive in Gautier, and pick up dog and cat food, bales of hay, leashes, collars and other necessary supplies. Veterinarians in mobile units drive around the area making “house calls” where needed. They come back to the camp to rest before going back out. Mary Ann Harris has five border collies, 18 horses, one cat and numerous cows to care for at her place in Vancleave. She stopped by the camp Monday afternoon to pick up some food for her animals. She found out about the free food program when someone from the animal shelter came to check on her and her animals. “This is so nice,” she said. “People are just incredible. Churches are coming around helping clean up.” Harris had major roof damage and lost much of the equipment and buildings around her home, including a 60-foot bird barn where she raises exotic parrots. “I feel that I’m one of the fortunate ones. We have a home that can be repaired,” she said. The setup of the camp is selfsufficient. Graves said they are called “The MacGuyvers” because of their ingenuity and ability to bring in everything they need to survive. “We have developed a very proficient and effective system,” he said. They brought a Kenworth Troter home, which serves as the Graves’ living quarters as well as a rescue headquarters, with a 30 kilowatt diesel generator that operates 38 different items, including a washer and dryer and a freezer. They also brought 600 gallons of diesel, 1,200 gallons of fresh water and a 750-gallon sewer storage unit. They also have portable showers with both hot and cold water for the volunteers. “It takes an entire team to run the show,” said Graves, who is one of the “logistical geniuses” behind the operation. “We’ve got this thing down to a science.” He said the rescue teams go out in pairs to search for animals in rubble and in all sorts of conditions. He and others remain at the camp, helping with the intake of animals, distribution of food and preparation of camp for the rescuers when they return. Lorraine Racine, an animal retrieval volunteer, said 210 rescued animals have come through the camp, with mobile units that can hold more than 60 dogs going around the area every day. All animals that do not go to the animal shelter are sent to Hattiesburg where they are kept until they can find a home. No animals are being put to sleep. “It’s incredibly fulfilling … devastating, but fulfilling,” Racine said. She teared up when she recounted how exciting it is to “reconnect people with their animals” and how difficult it is when they pick up animals where the owners have died. People who want to be foster families or adopted families can contact the Humane Society at (800) 486-2631. People can also give donations to the centers where food and supplies are being provided.

Rookie handcuffs surging Braves By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Eude Brito tossed three-hit ball over six shutout innings in his third career start, keeping the Philadelphia Phillies in the hunt for the NL wild card with a 4-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night. Pat Burrell had three hits and two RBIs, Jimmy Rollins extended his hitting streak to 18 games and three relievers allowed one run over three innings for the Phillies. Philadelphia entered 1 1/2 games behind wild card-leader Houston and one game behind Florida. The Phillies moved seven games behind NL East-leading Atlanta with three more games left in the series. Braves third baseman Chipper Jones came out in the sixth with a strained left quadriceps. Getting the spot start because Vicente Padilla is out with a strained ribcage, Brito (1-0) gave the Phillies so much more than they could have hoped for. With a fastball in the low 90s, Brito breezed through the early innings, retiring the first 11 batters until walking Jones in the fourth. Brito didn’t allow a hit until Brian Jordan’s two-out single in the fifth. Brito, who pitched a combined nine innings in two other starts, struck out seven and got the last batter of the first, second, third and fifth innings to whiff. Of his 84 pitches, 54 were strikes — and he walked only one. Ryan Madson pitched the seventh, Ugueth Urbina allowed pinch-hitter Todd Hollandsworth’s homer in the eighth, and Billy Wagner worked the ninth for his 33rd save in 36 chances. Tim Hudson (12-8) gave up four runs — three earned — and seven hits in six innings for the Braves. With the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles down in Atlanta to open their season, only about 15,000 fans were in their seats for the first pitch. The announced crowd of 21,169 was the smallest at home for the Phillies this season. What the fans who stayed home or in a saloon missed was a suddenly scrappy Phillies team that has won three of four and refused to fade from the wild-card race after the Astros swept them last week. Burrell has led the charge. With two outs and the bases loaded in the third, he singled for a 2-0 lead. With a pair of four-RBI games against Florida last weekend, Burrell now has 10 RBIs in the last four games. The Phillies caught a break in the fifth when second baseman Marcus Giles, with chew puffing his left cheek to the size of a baseball, muffed a sure doubleplay grounder, allowing a run to score. They made it 40 when Ryan Howard reached on a fielder’s choice. Brito got into his lone jam in the sixth, but pitched out of it with the poise of a vetSee Braves, Page 2-B SAN ANTONIO — The New Orleans Saints will head back to their home state for four games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La., and will play three others in San Antonio’s Alamodome, their headquarters since being displaced by Hurricane Katrina. While the team and league settled that matter Monday, most of the specifics are still being determined. Ticket plans are being worked out, too, as are ways to tie proceeds to the relief effort. Many of the Saints are living in a hotel across an interstate from the Alamodome. So they’ll have a short commute for games Oct. 2 or 3 against Buffalo, Oct. 16 or 17 against Atlanta and Dec. 24, 25 or 26 against Detroit. The team will travel to the LSU campus for games Oct. 30 or 31 against Miami, Nov. 6 or 7 against Chicago, Dec. 4 or 5 against Tampa Bay, and Dec. 17, 18 or 19 against Carolina. The Saints seemed please with the split, which enables them to reach out to fellow Louisiana residents trying to recover from the devastating storm while also showing appreciation for the hospitality they’ve received in Texas. “I think the fact of what San Antonio did for us — we had no other place to go where some- thing like this was set up — that’s what made this happen,” Saints owner Tom Benson said. Speaking publicly for the first time since the hurricane, Benson repeatedly deflected discussions about the team’s future. “We’re not going to worry about that today,” he said, adding that his only long-term goal is getting the Saints to the Super Bowl this season. After spending last week getting settled into a new routine in San Antonio, coach Jim Haslett began to like the idea of playing in the Alamodome. “It’s more of a travel issue,” he said. “I know what their agenda was, to play as many games as possible in our home state. Our players like that, too. ... “I’m not really worried about the location,” he said. “Our first concern is just to win football games.” No decision was made on the site of potential Saints home playoff games this season. Agreement on the schedule was reached after a meeting Monday in Baton Rouge involving Benson, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, LSU chancellor Sean O’Keefe and other school officials. “We had an excellent meeting this morning and quickly developed a dual consensus,” Tagliabue said. “The first was to continue to give priority to the needs of the region and the second to the scheduling of Saints games in a way that made sense under the total circumstances. ... We also appreciate the cooperation of the Alamodome officials and the hospitality of the people of San Antonio for their support of the Saints at this difficult time.” See Saints, Page 2-B AP Saints owner Tom Benson, right, NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, second from right, and LSU chancellor Sean O'Keefe, second from left, listen to Louisiana Superdome Commission Chairman Tim Coulon, left, talk about the Saints' eventual return to New Orleans and how LSU will host the Saints so they can play some of their home games in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.

With Corey Simon still playing his way into shape, Jamal Lewis (48 yards on 16 carries) should have been able to run better against an undersized front.

Willis pitches Marlins to top spot in NL wild-card The Associated Press HOUSTON — Dontrelle Willis gave Florida the NL wild-card lead with an outstanding all-around effort. The effervescent lefty homered and pitched his seventh complete game this season, earning his 21st victory in the Marlins’ 8-2 win Monday night over the Houston Astros. Florida moved a half-game ahead of the Astros in the wildcard standings, taking the top spot for the first time since after games of Aug. 30. Willis (21-8) tied St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter for the major league lead in victories and complete games by winning his sixth straight start. He connected for a two-run shot off Scott Strickland in the sixth inning, giving the Marlins a 6-1 lead. Reds 5, Cubs 2 CHICAGO — Javier Valentin and Wily Mo Pena homered off Greg Maddux on consecutive pitches to start the fifth inning, and Cincinnati beat Chicago behind strong pitching from Aaron Harang. Maddux (12-12) had a 1-0 lead and had given up just three singles before Valentin and Pena connected on homers to left-center opening the fifth. Cardinals 4, Pirates 3 ST. LOUIS — Pinch-hitter John Rodriguez’s ninth-inning single off Salomon Torres (4-5) helped St. Louis reduce its magic number for clinching the NL Central to four. AL Capsules CLEVELAND — Dan Haren limited baseball’s hottest team to four singles in 6 2-3 innings and pushed Oakland higher in the AL wild-card standings as the Athletics beat Cleveland 2-0 Monday night, stopping the Indians’ seven-game winning streak. Twins 2, Tigers 1 DETROIT — Kyle Lohse won in his first start since a tirade following his early removal from a game, leading Minnesota over Detroit. Lohse (9-12) allowed one run and six hits in seven innings, stopping Minnesota’s three-game losing streak. Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 5, 11 innings TORONTO (AP) — David Ortiz hit two home runs, including a drive in the 11th inning that led Boston over Toronto. Manny Ramirez also homered for the Red Sox, who recovered after wasting a 5-0 lead and moved 3 1/2 games ahead of the second-place New York Yankees in the AL East. Orioles 4, Rangers 2 ARLINGTON, Texas — Daniel Cabrera struck out seven to win his second consecutive start since coming off the disabled list and Baltimore scored twice on a dropped fly ball to beat Texas. Saints From Page 1-B The Saints won their season opener 23-20 at Carolina on Sunday. Their first home game was set for this coming Sunday, but was moved to Monday night and will be played at Giants Stadium against the Giants. Saints season-ticket holders and anyone who had purchased tickets for the Giants-Saints game at the Superdome were given first call for tickets to the relocated game. After that, however, Giants season-ticket holders were given priority, meaning it will be a true road game for the Saints. The manager of the Superdome has said it will take months before the building’s future can be determined. It’s possible to stadium will be torn down, leaving the Saints to find a new home. During Hurricane Katrina, with thousands inside seeking refuge, three large holes were blown through the roof. In all, about 70 percent of the roof failed and water poured into the building during the storm, along with debris. Benson has a home in the San Antonio area and for decades owned car dealerships in the city. He urged local fans to fill every seat and he encouraged the networks to bring the games to a national audience to “give this city great recogni- tion for what they’ve done for the New Orleans Saints.” “It’s most important for there to be capacity crowds to attend every game we have here,” Benson said. “It could make me proud, not only of our football team, but show what kind of city you have here.” Henry Cisneros, a former San Antonio mayor and former Cabinet member in the Clinton administration, attended Benson’s news conference and said he expects a great turnout. “I think San Antonio will fill the Alamodome three times,” he said. The stadium seats roughly 65,000 for football. Braves From Page 1-B Hockey legend Messier retires The Associated Press Oakland 001 000 100 —2 Cleveland 000 000 000 —0 1 1 1 1 WP—Weathers.

That was the summer of 1991, three years after Wayne Gretzky’s stunning trade to Los Angeles and a year removed from the Oilers’ fifth title in seven years. The dynasty was over and Messier was the latest big star about to be shipped out. Glen Sather, the man who built the team and ran it from the bench during the glory years, asked Messier where he wanted to go. The answer was the New York Rangers, a team that hadn’t won a Stanley Cup since 1940. On Monday, the stone-jawed captain said goodbye, announcing his retirement after a 25-year career and six championships — including the one in 1994 that ended the Rangers’ drought. He is second only to Gretzky on the NHL’s career scoring list. It took only three seasons for Messier to deliver with the Rangers and cement himself as one of the greatest leaders in team sports. “I knew all the past history of the teams in New York ... but I don’t think anything can really prepare you for going to play in New York until you get there,” Messier said during a conference call. “I felt that I was fairly confident in what it took to win a Stanley Cup.” Messier became a star in Edmonton in the 1980s and a headliner on Broadway in the ’90s. But the end of his career couldn’t come close to matching the early part. His final seven seasons all finished without a postseason appearance — three in Vancouver after his first departure from New York and four more in his second stint with the Rangers. On Jan. 12 the Rangers will retire Messier’s No. 11 before a game against the Oilers. It will join Rod Gilbert’s No. 7, Ed Giacomin’s No. 1 and teammate Mike Richter’s No. 35. Georgia-Mississippi State kickoff time set ATLANTA — Georgia’s game at Mississippi State on Sept. 24 has been set for a 8p.m. CST kickoff, Georgia announced Monday. The game will be televised by ESPN2. No. 7 Georgia plays host to LouisianaMonroe Saturday at 1 p.m and MSU is scheduled to play at Tulane. Bonds makes his season debut SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds casually strolled into the dugout for his pregame preparations with hordes of cameras clicking at his every move — even his brief stop at the water cooler. The San Francisco Giants activated their star slugger from the 60-day disabled list Monday after months of rehabilitation on his troublesome right knee, which needed three operations since Jan. 31. He was in the starting lineup in left field and batting cleanup in the opener of a three-game series against the NL West-leading San Diego Padres. Due an 11 p.m. deadline, the contest results didn’t run in today’s edition of The Mississippi Press. “Everybody knows what he can do,” said San Francisco shortstop Omar Vizquel, anticipating his first game with Bonds after Vizquel spent the past 11 seasons with the Cleveland Indians. “Personally, I’m one of those players who came here to watch him play. Finally, the moment has come. Being on the field with him is going to be exciting.” Bonds has changed his stance about playing this season so many times that nobody could keep track of his true intentions. During spring training, he predicted he might not play again until 2006, though he had been more upbeat recently about a return. This will be the 41-year-old Bonds’ first time facing major league pitching in almost a year. He is third on the career list with 703 home runs, trailing only Babe Ruth (714) and Aaron (755). Bonds’ last homer came against the Dodgers on Sept. 26, 2004, a solo shot off Jeff Weaver — one of seven homers Bonds hit in September last year. DA: Charges not warranted in fatal shooting of college student celebrating Red Sox win BOSTON — No criminal charges will be brought against the officers involved in the fatal shooting of a college student at a raucous celebration by Red Sox fans last fall, prosecutors said Monday. “There is no evidence that any officer on Lansdowne Street acted with any intent to commit a crime,” Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley said at a news conference. Victoria Snelgrove, a 21-year-old Emerson College student, was shot in the eye socket with a pepper-spray pellet outside Fenway Park on Oct. 21. Officers were trying to calm the crowd that had filled the streets following Boston’s victory over the New York Yankees to win the American League pennant. Conley said police made a string of serious errors in the events leading up to her death, but that none of those mistakes rose to the level of criminal charges. eran.

Min. age 18 MOBILE GREYHOUND PARK TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2005 3-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Orgeron, Rebels prepare for another trip to Volunteer State By JOEDY McCREARY The Associated Press Mississippi coach Ed Orgeron is getting comfortable in Tennessee. Three of Orgeron’s first four games as Rebels coach are being played in the Volunteer State. He hopes his first Southeastern Conference game — at Vanderbilt on Saturday — is as successful as his head coaching debut, a defense-driven 106 victory last week at Memphis. The Rebels’ tour of Tennessee concludes Oct. 1 in Knoxville with a game against the Volunteers. Surprisingly, no Division I- A team in Tennessee has more victories this season than Vanderbilt (2-0) — not even the fifth-ranked Vols. “They’ve come off of two big road games, so we’re expecting a big-time rival up there,” Orgeron said Monday at his weekly news conference in Oxford. The Commodores have two impressive fourth-quarter comebacks on the road. They started the season by winning their first road game of any kind since 2001 — a span of 18 games — when they beat Wake Forest. Last week, Vandy claimed its first Southeastern Conference road win since 2000 by rallying past Arkansas. Perhaps most responsible for Vanderbilt’s revitalization is quarterback Jay Cutler, the SEC offensive player of the week who threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed for a TD in the Arkansas win. Vanderbilt rallied from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter and beat Arkansas 2824. “I’m really impressed with Jay Cutler,” Orgeron said. “He’s a competitor, and he’s come back and played really well and found a way for his team to win. I think he’s the key to their whole offense. Yet somehow, Mississippi always seems to find a way to beat Vanderbilt. The Rebels have won five straight in the series, and the past three were decided by a touchdown or less. Then again, through two games the Commodores have tried to prove they’re not the same old Vandy. “They run the right plays, they’re very well-coached and they have a great scheme,” Orgeron said. No.1 USC next for reeling Razorbacks By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas has waited all year to focus on Southern California. Now that their date with USC has arrived, the Razorbacks are still trying to recover from a shocking home loss to Vanderbilt. “We’d be a whole lot more excited if we were 2-0 right now,” coach Houston Nutt admitted Monday. Arkansas opened as a 30 1/2point underdog against the No. 1 Trojans after blowing two double-digit leads Saturday. The Razorbacks wasted a dominating first quarter in a 2824 loss to the Commodores, who had won only two Southeastern Conference games the previous four seasons. Nutt thinks his players can rebound emotionally. They had better, because playing USC would be a forbidding task for even the strongest teams. The Trojans split the national title with LSU two years ago, then had it all to themselves last year after beating Oklahoma 55-19 in the Orange Bowl to cap a 13-0 season. USC’s 63-17 win over Hawaii in its season opener Sept. 3 was the Trojans’ 23rd consecutive win — only Miami has won at least 30 straight in the last 30 years. USC begins its home schedule against Arkansas. “We’re excited to get back home. ... We have an opportunity to be pretty healthy and in pretty good shape,” USC coach Pete Carroll said. For the Trojans, each game seems like another chance to make history. This week is no exception. USC has been No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 for 21 straight polls, a run that dates to late in the 2003 season and matches the mark set by Miami from 2001-2002. A win over Arkansas would almost certainly give the Trojans the record. Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Matt Leinart passed up a chance to move on to the NFL and returned to USC as a senior. Arkansas focused its early preparation on Leinart, who threw for 3,322 yards and 33 touchdowns last season. “He looks like a coach out there on the field. ... You know you’ve got your work cut out for you when you play against a guy with those intangibles,” Arkansas safety Vickiel Vaughn said. USC’s running game is led by juniors Reggie Bush and LenDale White. Bush, a Heisman finalist in 2004, is USC’s most versatile offensive star. He rushed for 908 yards last season, caught 43 passes for 509 yards and had two touchdowns on punt returns. White ran for a teamhigh 1,103 yards and 15 touchdowns. “Once you think you’ve got one play stopped, here they go with something else. ... They’ve got the full package,” Nutt said. “That’s the thing that you notice.” On defense, USC has had to replace star linemen Shaun Cody and Mike Patterson and standout linebackers Lofa Tatupu and Matt Grootegoed. In the opener, Hawaii used its running game to keep the Trojans’ offense off the field early, and USC led only 7-3 after one quarter. Arkansas rushed for 483 yards in its opening win over Missouri State — and 194 against Vanderbilt. Carroll expects the Razorbacks to run the ball again this weekend. “Arkansas is a great running football team,” Carroll said. “And they’ve got a great commitment to it.” Arkansas’ frustration over the last-minute loss to Vanderbilt lingered throughout the weekend, and the Razorbacks know they have to move on — quickly. “What’s done is done,” Vaughn said. “We’ve got to get the team to focus on the game coming up.” Arkansas hasn’t faced the nation’s No. 1 team since 1998. In Nutt’s first season, the Razorbacks were ranked No. 10 when they played at Tennessee in a matchup of 8-0 teams. The Volunteers prevailed 28-24 en route to the national championship, and Arkansas moved up in the polls despite the loss. This year, Nutt senses another rare opportunity. “The University of Arkansas is going to California and playing a great football team,” Nutt said. “It’s something to get excited about.” SEC official reassigned from UT-UF game GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Southeastern Conference official who received death threats after a controversial penalty in last year’s FloridaTennessee game has been removed from Saturday’s rematch, a newspaper reported Monday. SEC supervisor of officials Bobby Gaston told Florida Today he reassigned side judge Bobby Moreau for safety reasons. Moreau made the personal foul call on Florida receiver Dallas Baker in the closing moments of Tennessee’s 30-28 win in Knoxville last year. Officials also mistakenly stopped the clock after the penalty with 55 seconds remaining, which gave the Volunteers more time to set up James Wilhoit’s game-winning, 50-yard field goal with 6 sec- onds to play. Moreau’s crew was assigned to officiate Saturday’s game in Gainesville. But Moreau will be in Nashville, working the Vanderbilt-Mississippi game. “The media would have exposed it, and the fans would have eaten him alive,” Gaston told Florida Today. “I just decided that was not a fair thing for him. He’s a great official. He will continue to have a great career, like he has in the past. He’s been ranked the No. 1 side judge (in the SEC) the last seven or eight years.” Moreau received dozens of calls at home and on his cell phone from angry fans after last year’s game. One caller said if Moreau ever worked another Florida game, “It could cost you your life.” “I would like to be there, but Bobby Gaston is my boss,” Moreau told the paper. “I understand. There are some looney toons out there.” A former LSU football player who is a school teacher in South Carolina, Moreau had worked SEC football games for 12 years without any major problems until the Florida-Tennessee game. Moreau said he had warned Baker and Vols cornerback Jonathan Wade about hitting each other late. So when he saw them smack each other’s helmets with less than a minute to play, he threw a flag. Wade hit first, and Baker retaliated. But Moreau called a 15-yard penalty against the Gators, which pushed them back farther for a punt. Moreau acknowledged that should have called a double foul. He was suspended for two weeks after the call. “Last year was kind of our turn to get one of those, I guess,” Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer said of the controversial call. Fulmer and the Volunteers remember the 2000 game in which Florida’s Jabar Gaffney caught the winning touchdown, but replays showed he may not have had possession before the ball was knocked from his hands. Gaston said Al Matthews, the official who made that call, got a similar reaction from Vols fans and has not worked another Tennessee game in Knoxville. ——— Information from: Florida Today, http://www.floridatoday.com Auburn freshman learns of brothers’ fate AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — An Auburn football player who spent days believing his two younger brothers were killed in Hurricane Katrina and not knowing his father’s whereabouts has discovered that all three are alive and staying in Houston. Alonzo Horton, a New Orleans native, said he learned Sunday night that his family members were alive after calling a cousin to tell them of the boys’ deaths. “He said, ’Man, that didn’t happen because your daddy’s right here with me. I was like, ’What?”’ Horton said Monday evening. “I heard their voice and the phone died out, so I knew that they were OK.” Horton said another cousin had told him 6-year-old Delorean and Jerry, who just turned 8, died after taking refuge in the Abramson High School gymnasium in New Orleans. Horton had said Saturday that his father remained unaccounted for. He said that was the only confirmation he had received of their deaths. Horton’s mother and other family members are staying in Atlanta. His reaction to the good news? “Just a sigh of relief,” he said. “I can’t really explain how I felt when I heard that. I just can’t wait to see them. I can’t wait to talk to them again. “I still kept hope in the back of my mind,” Horton said. “I prayed every night that they were all right.” Horton said he didn’t know whether the youngsters ever took shelter in the gym. “I don’t know and I don’t really care about it, as long as they’re OK,” he said. Kentucky’s receiving corps decimated by injuries LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Entering the preseason, Kentucky’s depth at receiver appeared to be a team strength. Just two games into the season, it’s become one of the biggest question marks. When the Wildcats (1-1) visit Indiana (2-0) on Saturday, only one of their top four receivers — Scott Mitchell — is healthy enough to be a sure thing. Injuries to Keenan Burton, Tommy Cook and Glenn Holt will force the Wildcats to use inexperienced pass catchers against the Hoosiers, coach Rich Brooks said Monday. Mitchell and Holt were listed as the starters Monday, though Brooks said Holt is questionable because of a sprained ankle. Two little-used players, sophomore John Logan and true freshman DeMoreo Ford, are listed as the primary backups. The Wildcats have only one other scholarship receiver on the roster — sophomore Dicky Lyons Jr., who is redshirting this football season because of persistent hamstring problems. “When you have a team that is dealing with the number of injuries that we have to some key personnel, you just have to have players step up and fill the void,” Brooks said. “It’s a great opportunity for some players who haven’t seen as much action to get in and show what they can do,” Brooks said.” Ford, from LaGrange, Ga., saw the first action of his collegiate career last Saturday in a 41-29 win over NCAA Division I-AA Idaho State, although he didn’t catch any passes. Loganplayed in eight games last season. AP Detroit Lions wide receiver Mike Williams (88) and quarterback Joey Harrington celebrate during their 17-3 win over the Green Bay Packers Sunday. NFL From Page 1-B the D holds up. DOWNSIDE Minnesota: Maybe the Vikings have decided that winning early and losing late doesn’t work. So they lost 2413 to Tampa Bay. On the other hand, maybe Daunte Culpepper isn’t really Daunte without Randy Moss. He had problems when Moss was hurt last season, and three interceptions Sunday against a Bucs defense showing its pre-Gruden form isn’t very encouraging, especially at home. Still, the Vikes might win the NFC North at 8-8. Denver: Mike Shanahan hasn’t won a playoff game since John Elway retired after the 1998 season and Plummer’s form in Denver has been much like his form in Arizona. Bringing in Cleveland rejects for the defensive line should have been a tipoff. Jets (See above): Chad Pennington (six fumbles) is coming off rotator cuff surgery and is still learning the offense installed by new coordinator Mike Heimerdinger. Suddenly, next Sunday’s home opener against Miami is no sure win. St. Louis: Mike Martz has a great eye for QBs. But he was badly outcoached by Bill Belichick in a Super Bowl he should have won easily and his team played in San Francisco like it would win by showing up. With Seattle and Arizona also losing, maybe the NFC West will end up with four teams tied at 6-10. Carolina: Starting like it did last season. Not only did it lose to the Saints, but it lost Kris Jenkins for the sea- son with a torn ACL. By the way, Julius Peppers was invisible Sunday against a rookie right tackle, Jammal Brown, playing his first NFL game. Arizona: One sign of a bad team: the Cardinals used all three timeouts in the first 10 minutes of the second half in their 42-19 loss to the Giants. Because they were gone, Dennis Green couldn’t challenge a TD catch on which Plaxico Burress might have been out of the end zone. This is a “sleeper” contender? The Cards have been losers for almost 60 years, and until proven otherwise, they still are. Green Bay: Not really a surprise that the Packers lost 17-3 in Detroit because Brett Favre never plays well indoors. But this is a weak team with a bad offensive line, and Javon Walker was lost for the season with a torn ACL. San Diego: The 28-24 loss to Dallas wasn’t a huge upset. But it might have been avoided if the front office hadn’t played hardball with Antonio Gates and placed him on the suspended list. He surely could have been a factor when the Chargers had four cracks at the end zone from the Dallas 7 in the final minute. Oakland: The upside was Kerry Collins’ strong arm getting the ball deep to Moss against the Patriots. The downside is Collins’ propensity for turnovers under pressure. That’s what happened in the opening night loss to New England — he simply should have taken a sack on the game-turning play. Gibbs calls on veteran Brunell By JOSEPH WHITE The Associated Press ASHBURN, Va. — Mark Brunell will start for the Washington Redskins next Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, retaking the quarterback job from Patrick Ramsey. Brunell came in to lead a season-opening victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Coach Joe Gibbs had prepared for nearly a year for Ramsey to be the 2005 starter, but the coach changed his mind after Ramsey threw an interception and fumbled twice in Sunday’s game before leaving with a mild neck injury. “This is something that is extremely hard,” Gibbs said Monday. “You don’t like doing this. I don’t. Sometimes you don’t chart the circumstances or what happens — it just happens. Certainly it wasn’t the plan I had going in, but sometimes plans change, and I think you do the best you can in dealing with it.” Brunell was the opening day starter last year after winning a training camp competition over Ramsey, but he had the worst season of his career with stats that ranked near the bottom of the league. Brunell, who signed a seven-year, $43 million contract after being traded from Jacksonville, was booed heartily and was replaced with Ramsey in the ninth game. A few weeks later, Gibbs said Ramsey would be this year’s starter. But the 35-year-old Brunell appeared rejuvenated during training camp this year, outperforming Ramsey in all four preseason games and giving Gibbs confidence to make the switch.

Judges are not politicians who can promise to do certain things in exchange for votes,” said the 50-year-old appeals court judge and former Reagan administration lawyer, picked by President Bush to succeed the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Roberts He added, “Judges are like umpires. Umpires don’t make the rules; they apply them.” Roberts sat ramrod straight in his chair in the crowded, ornate Senate Caucus Room through several hours of preliminary speeches by committee members before his turn came to speak. A pad of white paper and pencil placed in front of him went unused. Even before he cleared his throat to speak at mid-afternoon, Republicans and Democrats on the committee sparred in anticipation of several days of questioning that lie ahead. “It is not undignified to ask the nominee questions he would rather not answer, should he prefer to remain inscrutable, or worse yet, all things to all people,” said Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis. Several Democrats on the committee, mindful of the conservative positions Roberts took in legal memoranda written while working in the Reagan White House, said they intended to probe his views on issues such as abortion and civil rights. “Don’t take the bait,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, advised Roberts. “Decline to answer any question you feel would compromise your ability to do your job,” he added, saying that has been the practice of nominees appointed by presidents of both parties. The debate over the permissible limits of questioning masked deeper difference as the committee began hearings for the first Supreme Court nominee in 11 years. “The central issue before us in these hearings is whether the Supreme Court will preserve the gains of the past, and protect the rights that are indispensable to a modern, more competitive, more equal America,” said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., a liberal Northeasterner with more than four decades in office. Speaking several minutes later from the AP Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the ranking Democrat, right, addresses Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Monday during his confirmation hearing in the Caucus Room of the Senate's Russell office building on Capitol Hill. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sits at center. other side of the committee dais, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., rebutted forcefully. “To me the central issue is whether or not the Senate will allow President Bush to appoint a strict constructionist to the Supreme Court,” said the first-term Southern conservative. Republicans said in advance the answer to Graham’s question was yes — and Democrats did not disagree that Roberts was on track for confirmation barring an unexpected turn of events. Committee approval seemed assured with GOP officials expecting support from all 10 Republican members and perhaps from some Democrats as well. The opening act of the confirmation drama played out in a room with history etched into its magnificent interior marble columns. Watergate hearings were held in the same Senate Caucus Room three decades ago. So, too, the stormy hearings for Robert Bork, whose nomination to the Supreme Court was defeated in 1987, and the stormier hearings that resulted in Clarence Thomas’ approval in 1991. “As chairman, I am committed to conducting a full, fair and dignified hearing,” said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., the committee’s chairman shortly before he brought down the gavel to open the proceedings. There was no dissent about the stakes. “The balance and direction of the court are now at issue with two vacancies,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the senior Democrat on the panel. Several lawmakers noted that if confirmed Roberts might serve for several decades as chief justice. Not since John Marshall, confirmed in 1801 at 45, has there been a younger chief. Rehnquist, a AP A Protestant youth passes a burning bus in North Belfast, Northern Ireland, Monday. Protestant extremists hi-jacked and burnt vechicle's on the third night of rioting where Protestant extremists attacked the British Army and the Police Service Of Northern Ireland. Crowds block Belfast roads, police prepare for rioting By SHAWN POGATCHNIK The Associated Press BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Crowds of Protestant hardliners blocked key roads in Belfast and rioted for a third straight night Monday in a longbuilding explosion of frustration at Northern Ireland’s peace process. At least 50 officers were wounded over the weekend when extremists fought riot police and British troops in the worst Protestant violence in a decade. The British governor and the territory’s police chief said two outlawed Protestant paramilitary groups mounted machine-gun and grenade attacks on police. The rampage followed British authorities’ refusal Saturday to permit the Orange Order, Nort- hern Ireland’s major Protestant brotherhood, to parade as it usually does each year along the boundary of Catholic west Belfast. Monday’s road blockades, formed by men, women and children, caused traffic jams that lasted for hours. Adding to the chaos were troublemakers who called Belfast businesses and, pretending to be police officers, ordered them to send workers home and close early on security grounds. Protestant riots resumed at nightfall Monday in several parts of Belfast, although the mobs were smaller, the level of destruction much less severe and the intensity of violence greatly reduced from the weekend. No new injuries were reported. mentor and the man Roberts would replace, was 80 when he died last week after struggling against thyroid cancer. Roberts’ youthfulness was underscored when he entered the committee room followed by his two young children clinging close to his wife. There was Josie, 5, and Jack, 4, who was displaying his trademark rambunctiousness, first evident the night he squirmed his way through a White House appearance when Bush named Roberts for the high court. For his part, Roberts may hold a record of sorts — nominated to succeed two different justices in a matter of weeks. Bush originally named him to succeed retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor in July. Rehnquist’s death this month led to a quick shuffle, and Roberts now seeks confirmation as chief justice while O’Connor will remain on the court until the president selects a new replacement. Roberts spoke for less than 10 minutes — and without notes, as befit a lawyer whose specialty once was thinking on his feet by answering demanding questions from Supreme Court justices. “If I am confirmed, I will confront every case with an open mind. I will fully and fairly analyze the legal arguments that are presented. I will be open to the considered views of my colleagues on the bench. And I will decide every case based on the record, according to the rule of law, without fear or favor, to the best of my ability,” he said. Judges must have the “humility to recognize that they operate within a system of precedent ... the modesty to be open in the decisional process to the considered views of their colleagues on the bench,” he added. Iraqi leader tours Tal Afar, congratulates troops By JACOB SILBERBERG The Associated Press TAL AFAR, Iraq — Iraq’s prime minister toured the ancient northern city of Tal Afar on Monday — ignoring an alleged al-Qaida threat to strike with chemical weapons — to congratulate Iraqi forces for rousting militants from their stronghold near Syria, Iraqi television reported. In Baghdad, a huge car bomb exploded outside a popular restaurant in the upscale Mansour neighborhood Monday night, witnesses said. Hospital officials reported at least two people were killed and 17 were wounded. A doctor at Yarmouk Hospital said most of the victims were women. Al-Iraqiya television, which showed no pictures, said Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari was in the Tal Afar area despite an insurgent threat to unleash chemical and biological weapons against the force of 5,000 Iraqi soldiers and commandos, backed by 3,500 troops from the U.S. 3rd Armored Cavalry regiment, who stormed into the city Saturday. The offensive “was a great shock to al-Qaida. They were thrown off balance and issued this threat. We will be on the lookout,” Interior Minister Bayan Jabr said at a news conference. Militant positions were found mainly deserted Sunday, and the invading force discovered a network of tunnels below the city through which the insurgents were believed to have fled to the surrounding countryside. The offensive, however, exacted a heavy toll on the insurgents, leaving almost 200 suspected militants dead and more than 315 captured, Iraqi military officials said. Forty insurgents were killed in fierce clashes between militants and Iraqi troops who raided suspected hideouts late Monday afternoon. The raids were launched in response to a roadside bombing that targeted an Iraqi patrol earlier in the day, killing one soldier and wounding three, said Capt. Mohammed Ahmed, an Iraqi army spokesman in Tal Afar. Ahmed said 27 militants were arrested. Before the afternoon clash, Brig. Gen. Abdul Aziz Mohammed-Jassim had said 157 suspected insurgents were killed in clashes with Iraqi forces over the course of the operation. He said 292 militants were arrested. In all, at least six Iraqi soldiers and six civilians died in the fighting, he said. No American soldiers were reported killed in the fighting. Al-Iraqiya reported that alJaafari was in Tal Afar in defiance of “a terrorist threat to attack the city with chemical and biological weapons.” There was no known public threat from the insurgents to use unconventional weapons in the area, but they have issued two Web postings since Friday, vowing to use chemical weapons against U.S. and Iraqi government interests in Baghdad. AP Iraqi soldiers advance in an operation in Tal Afar, northwestern Iraq, Monday. Insurgents melted into the countryside through a network of tunnels to escape an Iraqi-U.S. force that reported killing about 150 rebels while storming the militant bastion of Tal Afar. 5-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2005 TV/ADVICE TUESDAY PRIME TIME TV b 6:00 WEAR News 481 WWL News 333 WKRG CBS News 8684 Jeopardy!

GOTT: You recently published a letter from someone who had diagnosed and treated his own condition (food intolerance) after his doctor had failed to discover the source of his problem. I suffered the same condition for several years and had the same symptoms reported by your reader. He was fortunate to have found the cause for his condition in a short time. In my case, it took me several years to discover my problem, after having received no help from five different doctors and two allergists. Peter Gott, M.D. I suffered severe gastrointestinal difficulties, chronic fatigue, sleeplessness, occasional fever and a lowered resistance to any infections. Each doctor I consulted assured me that my condition was not caused by any food, and when I insisted that food was somehow involved, they grinned when they thought I wasn't looking. After considering several alternatives, I started reading through every medical article that touched even marginally on my problem. I finally tried food elimination, without success initially, but finally discovered that I had intolerance to all of the foods in the nightshade family (potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, pepper, etc.). I experienced relief almost immediately. After having diarrhea almost daily for several years, I am now leading a normal life. I have lots of energy, no infections, no sores in my mouth, I sleep well and have no gastrointestinal difficulties. I am a great fan of yours and I almost always agree with the advice contained in your articles, but you blew it on this one. While doctors are very knowledgeable concerning most things relating to the human body, there are many areas where they know almost nothing. When it comes to gastrointestinal problems, they usually treat the condition with medications that leave the patients zonked out of their minds, or they prescribe snake oil or some kind of elixir from the Civil War era. There is no shame or disgrace in not knowing everything, and doctors should be honest enough to admit their shortcomings. Recently, I was confined to a hospital for surgery and the dietitian insisted that I eat the foods to which I am intolerant. When I explained the problem and the ill effects I had suffered, she told the doctor that I was unreasonable and was giving her a hard time. He insisted that I follow her advice and told me that I didn't know what I was talking about. “I am a doctor,” he said as if this explained all mysteries in heaven and on Earth. “I have two doctors' degrees,” I reminded him, “though neither of them is in the field of medicine.” “Oh,” he said. “Yes, I remember.” Oh, indeed! DEAR READER: I am publishing your letter in its entirety for three reasons. 1) You are correct that nightshade foods can react badly in certain people. The sensitivity is real and is often ignored by even the brightest practitioner. I do not know the reason for this phenomenon, but I respect your comments regarding it. 2) Although I disagree with your statement that doctors prefer to prescribe “snake oil or some kind of elixir from the Civil War era,” you are correct that practicing physicians sometimes fall back on alternative medicine therapies when they are challenged by complex situations, such as food allergies. 3) I am uncomfortable that you were so putoff by the hospital dietician. Such a professional could have, at the very least, avoided putting you down; at the most, he or she should have accepted your statement without judging it — and then done some intensive research. If such research confirmed your belief, fine. © NEA Inc. Write to Dr. Peter Gott, c/o United Media of 200 Madison Ave 4th Floor, New York City, NY 10016. Friends (10:35) A Perfect Murder (11:05) (R, ’98) ›› 3054481 Drunk-driving accident strains lifelong relationship DEAR ABBY: I was in a car accident two months ago. My best friend, “Heather,” was driving. We grew up together and refer to each other as sisters. We were both under the influence, and I was so intoxicated I didn’t realize how smashed Heather was. Anyway, I was really banged up in the accident. She got away without a Dear scratch. Abby For an entire week after the accident, Heather never once came to see how I was doing. It wasn't until after I was practically healed that she stopped by my house. Sometimes when I see her, I still feel angry at her — or some emotion I can’t put my finger on. I don’t know if I still blame her or what. But now that I have healed, she doesn’t want to talk about the incident, and I can’t say anything because it makes her uncomfortable. But don’t you think I am the victim here? It is almost to the point where I don’t want to be around her. After 20 years of having Heather in my life, I think I can survive without ever speaking to her again. What should I do? -— LOST IN SAN MATEO, CALIF. DEAR LOST: For the sake of your 20-year friendship, clear the air and say what’s on your mind — including the fact that you felt betrayed when Heather failed to see you after the accident. She may have felt too guilty to face you. There are times when saying “I’m sorry” and “I’ll never drink and drive again” may seem inadequate. And yet, those things are exactly what need to be said — and you need to hear them — regardless of whether or not the subject makes Heather uncomfortable. For your own peace of mind, please do it soon. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. DEAR ABBY: I am the mother of four children (ages 6, 4, 3 and 2 months). About a year ago, I gave my dad and stepmom temporary custody of my older kids so I could get my life together. During that time, I have gotten a job and found a great man. The fourth baby was not planned. I plan on moving to a larger place in February when my lease is up, and then getting my older three kids back. My question is: My stepmom says that my other children won’t understand about the new baby and the fact that he can live with Mommy and they can’t. So they have not seen him or Mommy since he was born. I’m not sure it is right to keep him from them. Who is right? — CONCERNED MOM IN MISSOURI DEAR CONCERNED: You are. Your children are old enough to understand that they are living with your father because you had problems and couldn’t afford for them to stay with you for a while. If they want to know why the baby can live with you and they can’t, tell them that it’s because the baby is tiny and needs to stay with you — just as they did when they were babies. Assure them that in just a few months you will all be together again. THAT’S what they need to know. Distancing yourself from your children and hiding their sibling is not healthy for them — or for you. DEAR ABBY: I have often heard the saying, “That would be like opening Pandora’s box.” Where did that phrase originate? — YVONNE IN NORLINA, N.C. DEAR YVONNE: It refers to a story from Greek mythology. The box was a gift to Pandora from the gods, but was given with the warning that she should never open it. When curiosity got the better of Pandora and she opened it anyway, a swarm of evils was loosed upon mankind. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Time to freshen up: These quick fixes will reduce or eliminate most By Heloise common odors. Unappetizing Kitchen Smells Source: Cabbage, broccoli or fish Solution: Set out a small bowl of household vinegar on the counter next to the stove to absorb smells. Source: Casserole dish that bubbled over in the oven Solution: Sprinkle salt on the burned mess to eliminate the smoky odor, then clean up when the oven is cool. Source: Food spatters inside the microwave Solution: Combine 2 tablespoons baking soda and 1 cup water in a large microwavesafe bowl. Microwave on High for two to three minutes. Then wipe off the walls and the turntable. Source: Popcorn that was burned in the microwave Solution: Fill a large microwave-safe bowl with 4 or 5 cloves; 1⁄2 lemon, chopped; and 11⁄2 cups water. Microwave on High until it boils, then let sit until water cools before removing bowl. Wipe walls with a paper towel and leave door open to air out. Instant Air Fresheners While there are many new odor-neutralizing products that mask unpleasant smells, I like to make my own. Try these: Baking goods: Soak a cotton ball with lemon, orange, vanilla or peppermint extract or oil of cloves. Place it in a small, clean glass jar; punch holes in the lid and secure tightly. (Don't let extracts come in contact with wood, marble, granite or painted surfaces.) Or, mix 2 teaspoons cinnamon (or other favorite spice) with 1 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High for two to three minutes. Ground coffee: Put a few tablespoons of fresh, unused ground coffee into several clean old socks and hang them in your closets to stop musty odor. Charcoal: Fill a container with activated charcoal (available at pet supply stores); place in areas affected by mold and mildew, such as the basement or a closet.
