Avara wants Bush to visit Pascagoula

PASCAGOULA — Mayor
Matthew Avara said Monday he’s
requested President Bush to come
to Pascagoula “to recognize the devastation that we’ve sustained and
the level of suffering our citizens
are having.”

PASCAGOULA — An active
real estate market is starting
to emerge in the wake of Hurricane Katrina as Jackson
County residents and businesses affected by the storm begin
seeking areas to relocate —
temporarily or permanently.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.”

KATRINA UNEMPLOYMENT
Corpses found in
New Orleans hospital
By ADAM NOSSITER
The Associated Press
Carisa Anderson/The Mississippi Press
Hundreds of Jackson County residents took advantage of an opportunity to file
claims for unemployment benefits Monday in the parking lot of Deep South Shopping Center in Pascagoula. 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

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.

KATRINA ISSUES
The Associated Press
A look at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina:
DEATH TOLL: Mississippi’s death toll rose to 218.
DAMAGE: Pass Christian alderman Joseph Piernas says
his city anticipates needing temporary housing for 8,200 of
8,500 residents.
REFUGEES: 6,748 in 62 American Red Cross shelters in
Mississippi. There also are 108,410 in temporary locations
arranged by the Red Cross. More are in hotels and private
homes.
POWER: About 65,665 homes and businesses that are
capable of receiving power were still without it Monday,
down from 800,000 immediately after the hurricane. The
power-outage number does not include the thousands of
homes and businesses that were destroyed or are too damaged to receive electricity.
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

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.

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

Libraries wave overdue fees
Public libraries are opening up and hoping to serve the community as a refuge from

“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.

Carisa Anderson/The Mississippi Press
Royce Cumbest, president of Merchants & Marine Bank, talks about Rebuild Jackson County’s plans during a press conference Monday morning at the Jackson
County Courthouse.
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.

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.
For more information on
donating to the funds, contact Kimberly Parker at 228697-4371 or 228-594-8200.
ing the artwork.
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.

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

not going anywhere.”

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.

Rentals

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.”

Animals

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.

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.”

from opening Sunday, which
featured upset victories by San
Francisco and Miami, who
were Nos. 1-2 in last year’s
draft and seemed odds-on to be
in the same position again this
season. Give it a few more
weeks before trends develop.
A few snapshots from Week
1: UPSIDE
New Orleans: Maybe the
Saints will revert to their maddening form of the past few
seasons under Jim Haslett —
three or four straight wins followed by three or four straight
end up in ... Tennessee?
Jacksonville: As in Miami,
the heat factor worked in a 2614 win over Seattle. A big test
next week in Indianapolis,
where the Jags won last season. Tackles John Henderson
and Marcus Stroud anchor an
outstanding defense and Jimmy Smith (seven catches for
130 yards and two TDs) seems
to have lost nothing at age 36.
Maybe not the AFC South winner, but certainly a wild-card
contender.
Indianapolis: If the defense
plays as it did in the 24-7 victory over Baltimore, this team
could be scary. 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. With the
offense a given, good defense
gives the Colts a real shot at
home-dome advantage in the
AFC and no January trips to
Foxborough.
Kansas City: The Jets were
inept and 27-7 was actually
closer than it could have been.
But for a week, at least, the
Chiefs showed for the first time
in the Vermeil era that they
can stop someone. With Larry
Johnson to spell Priest Holmes,
they can be very dangerous if

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

moved 3 1/2 games ahead of the
second-place New York Yankees
in the AL East.

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.

NEW YORK — Mark Messier was 30
and already a five-time Stanley Cup champion when it was time to leave the hometown Edmonton Oilers.
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.

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.

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.

Roberts tells Senate he’ll be
chief ‘without fear or favor’
By DAVID ESPO
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee John Roberts pledged Monday to judge
with humility and “without fear or favor” if
approved as the nation’s 17th chief justice
and youngest in 200 years. “I have no agenda,” he told the Senate Judiciary Committee at the opening of confirmation hearings.
“I have no platform. 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

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.

A food allergy fracas
DEAR DR. 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.

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.

mother, Pauline Phillips.

Quick fixes for funky odors
Our homes are incubators
for all kinds of smells.
Kitchens, basements, pet boxes and
closets
generate
some
doozies!
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.
