The Associated Press JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has dismissed the death sentence of Stephen Virgil McGilberry and ordered the Jackson County Circuit Court to re-sentence him to life in prison without parole. The justices on Thursday issued the order without comment, having issued a blistering Coast braces for Rita rebuke a week ago of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling this year that it was unconstitutional to execute those who committed capital offenses when they were under 18. That case dealt with Kelvin Dycus, who was 17 when he participated in the 1996 slayMcGilberry ing of an elderly Rosedale woman. The justices called the murder of 76-year-old Mary Lee Pittman a particularly brutal one and deserving of the death penalty. McGilberry, Dycus, Ronald Chris Foster, Roderick Eskridge and William Joseph Holly were all under 18 when they committed capital murder and were sentenced to death. They were saved from lethal injection by the U.S. Supreme Court-issued ban. A dozen of the states, including Mississippi, had juvenile offenders on death row. Orders to re-sentence Eskridge and Holly are expected shortly. McGilberry was 16 when he was sentenced to death in 1996 in Jackson County.

LOUIS — Mississippi was placed under a state of emergency and a voluntary evacuation was ordered for residents in low areas of Hancock County on Thursday as Hurricane Rita appeared to edge slightly eastward. “I urge all Mississippians to please take this storm seriously,” Gov. Haley Barbour said in a statement. “Now is the time to prepare yourself, your family and your friends.” Conditions were already getting bad in Waveland, a community that was virtually leveled by Hurricane Katrina 31⁄2 weeks ago. Waves were breaking over one coastal road as the surf quickly grew rough, skies blackened and wind blasted sand from the beach. Locally, Jackson County Civil Defense officials said that even though Hurricane Rita will likely miss Jackson County, the area is expected to get some effects from the hurricane. A coastal flood watch has been issued with tides expected to be three to five feet above normal, with two to three inches of rain and 25 to 30 mph winds with possible gusts to 35 mph starting Thursday afternoon. Residents in low lying areas should begin planning to move to higher ground and securing alternative sheltering arrangements. Because high winds are expected, tents and temporary shelters should be secured tightly and debris piles, especially those containing sheet metal, should be covered or tied down. “This is just precautionary at this time,” said Jackson County Civil Defense/Emergency See RITA, Page 10-A Steve Helber/AP By DUNCAN MANSFIELD The Associated Press Photos/William Colgin/The Mississippi Press From left, Vince Hobbs, Larry Anderson, Tim August, Dave Lord and John Camacho with the East Bay Incident Management Team from California collect and organize information on the Katrina relief effort at their base of operations at Gautier High School. Larger than some Mississippi towns, Camp Gautier cares for hurricane helpers By JOHN SURRATT The Mississippi Press GAUTIER — They call it “Camp Gautier.” In the three weeks since Hurricane Katrina socked the Mississippi Coast, Gautier High School has undergone a transformation and assumed a new name, the incident command post, and has become a community of more than 1,000 people — larger than some Mississippi towns. The gym where the Gautier High basketball team took on area schools to the cheers of adoring crowds is now a large dormitory with sleeping accommodations for about 1,000 people assisting in Jackson County’s recovery. In classrooms where students learned about history, Shakespeare and the marvels Adrienne Starr with Able Fire Equipment checks a load of of science, planners, mappers and volunteer clothes at one of the company’s mobile laundry trailers, See CAMP, Page 11-A which are used to wash the clothes of aid workers. MOSS POINT — The insurance adjuster took one look at the mildewed walls and buckled floors in Jerry and Cynthia Wilson’s waterlogged home and issued an immediate ruling: The wreckage caused by Hurricane Katrina wasn’t his company’s responsibility. The damage, the Allstate Corp. agent told the couple, was caused not by wind or rain, but by flooding — and they had no flood insurance. Not so fast, say the Wilsons and thousands of Gulf Coast homeowners in similar straits. They, along with regulators, politicians and consumer advocates, are already girding for an increasingly contentious battle with billions of dollars in property claims on the line. And similar battles may take place in Texas if Hurricane Rita causes similar havoc when it rams the coast line this weekend. “It may take a team of New York lawyers to get down here and straighten this out,” Cynthia Wilson said.

Signs on every residential street in Pascagoula display insurance information and street addresses to help insurance company representatives find the homes and the remnants of homes effected by the wrath of the Category 4 hurricane.

The district, she said, has made great strides in temporarily repairing the nearly $6 million in structural damage from Katrina. “All of the roof work has been temporarily repaired.” “(N.E.) Taconi (Elementary) will be working again without the gymnasium,” she said. Wind caused significant roof damage to that part of the school. “We do have plans to get in four portable classrooms, or two doubles, in the months to come to help with the space there.” Hurt said Oak Park Elementary was one of the most heavily-damaged schools in the district. Ten portable classrooms have been ordered to accommodate students at that campus. “They will be combining classes in order to facilitate the students so we don’t have to transfer them to other schools (in the district),” she LOCAL, 5-A SPOR TS, 1-B Katrina moves Dauphin Island landward INDEX St. Martin hosts East Central after three-week layoff Advice . . . . . . . . . . .12-A Classified . . . . . . . . .5-B Comics . . . . . . . . . . .4-B MISSISSIPPI PRESS HURRICANE HEADQUARTERS: (251) 219-5551, (866) 843-9020 said.

The 78-year-old widow of civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King had been unable to speak and was paralyzed on her right side when she was hospitalized on Aug. 16. Since then, she has made significant progress, said her daughters, Bernice and Yolanda King, and her physician, Dr. Maggie Mermin, and she was released from the hospital Thursday. “Our prayers have been answered,” the Rev.

She said King had also regained some of her speech and was regaining use of her right side. “When she smiles, she looks like herself,” the doctor said. King’s daughters said her faith also helped her to heal while at Piedmont Hospital. “My mother has a very strong determination to succeed. She looked forward to therapy and was full of joy and very focused,” Bernice King said. The Kings were married in 1953 and had four children, Martin Luther III, Yolanda, Dexter and Bernice. After her husband’s assassination in Memphis, Tenn., on April 4, 1968, King kept his dream alive by starting the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, based in Atlanta. URGENT Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans Employees CALL 1-877-863-9405 To Return To Work FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS 3-A Baptist Convention gearing up to oppose on-land casinos By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS The Associated Press JACKSON — The state’s largest religious group — the Mississippi Baptist Convention — is trying to thwart any move by officials to let casinos build on land, saying hurricane damage shouldn’t be used as a reason to expand the gambling industry. State law says casinos can be built only over the waters of the Mississippi River or the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the 13 Gulf Coast casinos were severely damaged when Hurricane Katrina blew ashore Aug. 29. A few of the hulking casino barges were tossed on shore by the powerful storm surge that approached 30 feet; others had jagged holes ripped in their sides. Some gaming company executives say they want to rebuild on land; others say they relocate on floating barges. A debate on the politically volatile issue is expected during a special legislative session that starts Tuesday. Gov. Haley Barbour set the session and said he would put the casino issue on the agenda, but he still hasn’t taking a public stand on whether gambling halls should be allowed to move on land — even if it’s only a few hundred feet. If Barbour did not want legislators to debate the issue, he could leave it off the agenda. “The governor’s position is still that he’s going to wait to receive the Gaming Commission’s report,” Barbour spokesman Pete Smith said Thursday. “He’ll have a position then.” Gaming Commission executive director Larry Gregory said commission chairman Jerry St. Pé could speak to Barbour in the next few days — possibly by today. Gregory said he does not know what the three-member commission will recommend. Jimmy Porter, executive director of the Mississippi Baptist Convention’s Christian Action Commission, said in news release Thursday that the convention opposes any form of gam- bling and the “terrible human tragedy” of Hurricane Katrina should not be used to expand casino interests. “The fear of our constituents is that once the casinos are land-based, attempts to move inward to other locations will follow,” Porter said. About one Mississippian in every four is a Baptist. Although the convention doesn’t dictate policy positions to its 2,100 member churches, any organized move by Baptist leaders could significantly influence what happens at the Capitol. Porter said any proposed changes in gambling laws should be put on statewide ballots to let voters decide. House Gaming Committee Chairman Bobby Moak, D-Bogue Chitto, said he told Baptist Convention leaders this week that they should be careful in asking for a statewide vote. “If it passes, then what kind of animal have you got by the tail?” Moak said. Moak said he’s willing to consider on-land casinos only in communities where casinos already exist along the coast and along the Mississippi River. He said he is listening to gambling opponents and supporters as he prepares for the special session. “I’m going to try to politically mold something that is workable among those varying opinions,” Moak said. St. Pé and Gregory were in Las Vegas this past week to talk to casino executives about whether they plan to rebuild along the Mississippi coast. St. Pé said “there are differences of opinion” within the industry about going on land. Porter said the Baptist Convention is asking its members to call or write legislators to work against land-based casinos. Harrison County supervisors on Wednesday passed a resolution asking lawmakers to let coast casinos go 1,500 feet inland from their current locations.

Drug, alcohol-related arrests on the rise From Staff Reports PASCAGOULA — Drug and alcohol-related arrests are beginning to increase as Jackson County begins returning to normal in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Sheriff Mike Byrd said. Authorities arrested 45 people during the past 24-hour period, adding that six of those arrests were for drug-related offenses, Byrd said Thursday. Officers also made seven DUI arrests in the county and arrested four others people for outstanding warrants. Officers made 17 drug arrests and arrested four for DUI on Wednesday. Byrd said the increased availability of drugs and alcohol is responsible for the rise in arrests, adding that officers will continue to be on the lookout for suspicious activity during patrol. “We will be patrolling the neighborhoods and checking people for IDs,” Byrd said. “If we find anybody doesn’t belong there, we will tell them to leave.” The Scruggs Law Firm Offices in Moss Point and Oxford, Mississippi “Serving the Gulf Coast since 1980” JERRY LEE’S GROCERY OPEN AT ALL 3 LOCATIONS HOURS 5:00 A.M. - 11:00 P.M. 7 DAYS A WEEK 1804 Ingalls Ave., Pascagoula, MS 39567 • (228) 762-5292 1409 Highway 90 West, Gautier, MS 39553 • (228) 497-3281 2525 Highway 90 West, Gautier, MS 39553 • (228) 497-4884 4-A THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 LOCAL Contact: Lance Davis, News Editor, (866) 843-9020 E-mail address: [email protected] Jackson County re-opening land records, chancery From Staff Reports Christy Pritchett/The Mississippi Press Don Smith sings his song “Hurricane Katrina” Thursday afternoon on the air with WPMP 1580 AM as people dine in the background at the LaFont Inn in Pascagoula.

H av i n g ac c e ss to th e se records makes it possible for our citizens to apply for loans, do title searches and issue bills of sale.” The land records office’s phone number is (228) 7693131, and the fax number is (228) 769-3135. The office will be open for all services previously available at the Brumfield building. “Two days before Hurricane Katrina hit Mississippi, the Jackson County Board of Supervisors moved over 4,000 land record books, dating back to the mid-1800s, to a safe area away from the storm,” Miller said, “We brought them to the fair- ground this week and unloaded them. Although the public will have access to all records, it will not be as convenient in the temporary location as it was in the Brumfield building. We are asking the public for their patience and understanding.” The Jackson County Chancery Court Department, including the Chancery Court Administrator’s Office, also has been relocated to the Civic Center at the Jackson County Fairgrounds. Court instruments can be received and filed beginning Monday. Emergency requests can be forwarded to the chancellors, through their court administrator, for immediate attention. These departments can be reached at (228) 696-6264 and (228) 696-6268. All Jackson County Chancery Court files and records were damaged by Hurricane Katrina and are being relocated for restoration and preservation. These records will be unavailable for an undetermined amount of time. Stallworth Carpet & Drapery — Covering the Coast Since 1960 — Commercial – Residential Professional Installation By DONNA HARRIS The Mississippi Press PASCAGOULA — The music of a storm played a melody in a Pascagoula man’s head. Like many residents who were neighbors of neighbors of beach front property owners, Don Smith lost most everything when Hurricane Katrina pushed the Gulf of Mexico across lower Pascagoula and through his home several blocks from the beach. The storm did not respect his talents as an artist, actor and musician, and chased him to higher ground within his one-story home on Sarazin Avenue. “It pretty much destroyed everything I owned except for this one guitar,” he said, holding an acoustic signed by 3 Doors Down guitarist Matt Roberts as a gift to Smith. After the water receded, Smith began to write for his own therapy to come to grips with the devastating catastrophe he survived. But his tuneful tale of woe has a happy ending. “It’s really about starting over,” he said. “It’s what I’m doing and a lot of other people are doing.” Smith is an art teacher at Vancleave High School and has appeared on local commercials and in seven movies including “The Insider” and “J.F.K.” He may be best known for being the artist who created the famous bust of Sen. Trent Lott that was stolen from its pedestal in front of Trent Lott Middle School a few years ago. After he wrote “Hurricane Katrina,” he played it by candlelight for his neighbors. They encouraged him to take it to a radio station, which is how he met Tim Lee, owner of AM 1580 WPMP. Lee heard the compact disc single of the song and invited Smith to perform on his show, which is being broadcast live from LaFont Inn each day. In shorts and flip-flops Thursday, Smith accompanied himself on Robert’s guitar as he sang about heartbreak and rebirth. Folks at surrounding tables occassionally looked up from their lunch in the hotel dining room as he played. “It takes a lot of wind to change a man, it takes a lot of water to wash away old dreams. Broke those chains I was wearing from the wall of a hurricane,” he sang. Lee became a fan at first listen. “It’s a great song,” Lee said. “It sums up what a lot of us are thinking.” Smith’s not sure what he’ll do with the song, although he knows he doesn’t want to profit from it. His hope is that someone may use it for their hurricane relief efforts. Just writing the song as been healing for him, he said. The storm pushed him out of his safety net of Jackson County, and made him realize that he needs to push himself more to accomplish his dreams of music, art and movies on a larger scale. After surviving Katrina, life’s challenges will be easier to overcome. “What the heck? What else could possibly be so scary out there?” he said. “I’m doing what I wanted to do, playing on the radio and talking to reporters. I’m living the dream.” Reporter Donna Harris can be reached at [email protected] or (866) 843-9020. G.E. Sales & Service 1711 MARKET STREET - PASCAGOULA OPEN for BUSINESS! Since 1955 G.E.

Property owners hope for federal assistance in rebuilding, including repairing the eroded beaches, even though the fragile west end was battered less than a year earlier by Hurricane Ivan. FEMA and federal flood insurance representatives met with residents at a town meeting Wednesday night. “A lot of people are tentatively on hold about rebuilding while dealing with the insurance,” real estate agent Beth Cox said. Even though Katrina’s landfall was 90 miles to the west of the island, it still swept away or damaged more than 100 vacation homes on the sand-starved western end. Some streets were completely wiped out, making it hard to inventory the missing houses. Most of the island’s 1,500 to 1,700 homes survived. But Katrina’s damage came after Ivan destroyed 44 homes and damaged 110 a year ago when it reshaped the west end and flattened dunes. Dr. Abby Sallenger, a research oceanographer at the U.S. Geological Survey in St. Petersburg, Fla., who is studying Katrina’s damage, said he was not surprised by the island erosion. Many of the gulfside homes were completely swept away, he said, with waves now over their foundations. Others were left leaning in the direction of the storm’s windy path. “And it was not even remotely a direct hit,” Sallenger said in a telephone interview Thursday. The island’s forested east end, with historic Fort Gaines and more homes, had less damage than the western tip. This 14-mile-long island has survived centuries of storms since the French occupied it in 1699. Back then, it served until 1717 as a port to Fort Louis, the first capital of the vast Louisiana territory. Examining aerial photos of Katrina damage, Sallenger said the island at the mouth of Mobile Bay earlier had been “severely impacted” by Hurricane Federic in 1979 and again last September by Ivan. The 1.2 miles wide breach from Katrina on the unpopulated western tip is about five feet deep, according to state Conservation Marine Resources officials. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Patrick Robbins said a settlement in a lawsuit filed by the property owners over the dredging has not been approved by a court. It calls for an independent study on whether the dredging has had any effect on the island. The corps now plans “emergency dredging” of the Mobile Harbor over the next four months to remove about four million cubic yards of material swept in by Katrina on Aug. 29. 4OOURWONDERFUL NEIGHBORSIN 0ASCAGOULA 'OODYSISNOWOPENFORYOUR SHOPPINGCONVENIENCE7ELOOK FORWARDTOMEETINGTHEAPPAREL NEEDSOFYOUANDYOURFAMILY • Personal Injury • Hurricane Insurance Claims • Criminal • Divorce • Youth Court • Child Custody and Support Matters P.O.

The forecast called for 3 to 5 inches of rain in New Orleans in the coming days. That is dangerously close to the amount engineers said could send floodwaters pouring back into neighborhoods that have been dry for less than a week. The storm took a sharper-than-expected turn to the right on Thursday, setting it on a course that could spare Houston and nearby Galveston a direct hit. But that raised the risk that the hurricane could strike much closer to New Orleans. “Right now, it’s a wait-and-see and hope-for-thebest,” Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Mitch Frazier said a few hours before the National Guard cut off all access into New Orleans. He said the forecast brought renewed urgency to efforts to shore up levees with sandbags and bring in more portable pumps. The corps also installed 60-foot sections of metal across some of the city’s AP canals to protect against storm surges. The lack of rain since Hurricane Katrina ripped through the city more than three weeks ago has been one of the few blessings for New Orleans. On Thursday, relief workers at Mardi Gras World, Nov. 30. But with conditions in the atmosphere and Atlantic ripe for storm development, there could be more. Only once, since record-keeping began in 1851, have there been 21 tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic. That was in 1933 when forecasters didn’t regularly name storms. What’s more, a storm name is retired if it causes widespread damage and deaths. So if there is a deadly Hurricane Alpha, what is it replaced with when it’s retired? “We don’t know. It will go to the Swahili alphabet or something else,” joked Jim Lushine, severe weather expert at the National Weather Service in Miami. When old names are retired, new names have to be drafted in to a database maintained specifically for Atlantic Ocean storms, said Mark Oliver, spokesman for the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva, which maintains the database. “There’s certain specifications which they have to meet,” Oliver said. “They have to be fairly easily remembered, they’ve got to be in alphabetical order.” The names are proposed by national weather services, and also takes gender balance into account to ensure that storms rotate between male and female names. But other regions take a different approach. In Asia, storms may be given names of people, but also of flowers or other nonhuman beings, Oliver said. Japan does not participate in this system, preferring instead to number each storm chronologically starting anew each year. WMO says it is sensitive to problems caused by particularly infamous hurricanes on people who share the same name, but said national committees ultimately decide on what types of names should be applied. Currently, there are six separate 21-name lists and each of them is used every six years in a rotation. They don’t include names that begin with q, u, x, y and z because there aren’t enough names starting with those letters. Katrina refugee murdered near Chattanooga CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — A restaurant cook and dishwasher from Metairie, La., has become the first known Katrina refugee murdered in a host community. Don Maurice Airline, 24, was found dead on a secluded road with five gunshots to his head. Chattanooga police are considering the possibility that someone killed him to steal the relief money the Red Cross gave him. Detective R. Kenneth Freeman said he was sorry the shooting Saturday happened in Chattanooga, a city where the Red Cross, churches and social agencies are helping hundreds of Katrina refugees. Freeman said Airline was the only homicide victim he knew of among the hundreds of thousands of Katrina evacuees. Another 1 million refugees are fleeing ahead of Hurricane Rita. Airline’s mother, Sheila Airline, 41, described the murder as “just senseless.” “For someone to take my child’s life, they robbed him. I know they robbed him because the Red Cross gave him money and the detective can’t find it,” she said Thursday in a telephone interview from Kenner, La. Sheila Airline said she stayed with relatives in Louisiana when she evacuated Aug. 28. “This is how God had it planned,” she said. “He was evacuated out of the storm and out of the storm he gets killed.” Airline said her son’s funeral was being delayed until at least Monday because of Hurricane Rita. Investigators found five handgun shell casings with Airline’s body, less than a mile from a Red Cross shelter where he had stayed. Airline left a Chattanooga nightclub with at least two men and a woman hours before his body was spotted early Saturday on a weedy roadside in south Chattanooga, Freeman said. No one has been charged, but police are getting different stories from the people who accompanied Airline.

Gov. Kathleen Blanco resorted to campaign tactics, recording a telephone message that was delivered to more than 400,000 residents along the southern edge of the state. “Rita has Louisiana in her sights,” Blanco said at a news conference. “Head north. You cannot go east, you cannot go west. If you know the local roads that go north, take those.” As for those who refuse to leave, she said: “Perhaps they should write their Social Security numbers on their arms with indelible ink.” National Guard and medical units were put on standby. Helicopters were being positioned, and search-and-rescue boats from the state wildlife department were staged on high ground on the edge of Rita’s projected path. Blanco said she also asked for 15,000 more federal troops. “Prepare your family and prepare your house,” she warned. “I’m urging Louisiana citizens to take this storm very seriously.” Forecasters said the storm was expected to come ashore on the Texas coast and turn north along a path not far from the Louisiana state line. It was a chilling prediction for the town of Lake Charles, not far from the border. the city’s largest builder of parade floats, handed out free tarpaulins to homeowners to keep Rita’s rain from coming through their damaged roofs. The entire Mississippi delta region was under a tropical storm warning. To the west of New Season’s names for storms almost used up MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Alpha? Tropical Storm Epsilon? Before this year is out, TV forecasters and coastal residents may have to break out their Greek dictionaries if the Atlantic hurricane season keeps up its frantic pace. There are only four names left for tropical storms and hurricanes this year: Stan, Tammy, Vince and Wilma. After that, names switch to the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and so on through Omega, if needed. That has never happened before in roughly 60 years of regularly named Atlantic storms. “If we get up into that league, we’ll have issues larger than naming these storms,” said Frank Lepore, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center in Miami. “The new phrase will be hurricane fatigue. Let’s coin that right now.” So far this season, there have been 17 named storms. Forecasters expect a total of 18 to 21 when the six-month season ends The area near the breech in the Industrial Canal levee in the Ninth Ward fills with water from seepage in the repaired levee, Thursday in New Orleans.

Introduced by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and co-sponsored by Sen. Trent Lott, RMiss., the Good Samaritan Liability Improvement and Volunteer Encouragement Act of 2005 would provide special protections for disaster relief workers. Those include allowing professionals to volunteer using licenses from their home state regardless of where a disaster occurred and protecting volunteers who aren’t working for a specific nonprofit organization from liability. Under the act, nonprofits wouldn’t be held liable for acts committed by their volunteers unless the organization willfully disregarded or was recklessly indifferent. Also, donors of goods and equipment wouldn’t be responsible for harm caused by donating those items unless they were reckless. “The United States is a generous nation, and we’ve seen ample evidence of that selfless giving since Katrina’s deadly impact as people from throughout our nation are giving of their time and talents to help Katrina’s victims,” Lott said in a statement. “Yet these men and women who work to protect life and property need protection, too,” he said. “We must make sure our relief workers can operate unimpeded without fear of unreasonable liability.” Co-sponsors include Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison, RTexas; David Vitter, R-La.; Charles Grassley, R-Iowa; and John Thune, R-S.D. $ RCA 27” TV WITH MTS STEREO/ SAP, TRILINGUAL ON-SCREEN DISPLAY, ADJUST.

A Vatican official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the document has not been released, said Thursday that the upcoming “instruction” from the Vatican’s Congregation for Catholic Education will reaffirm the church’s belief that homosexuals should not be ordained. In recent decades, Vatican officials have stated several times that gays should not become priests because their sexual orientation is “intrinsically disordered” and makes them unsuitable for ministry. The latest document is scheduled to be distributed within weeks, just as an evaluation of all 229 American seminaries gets under way under the direction of the same Vatican agency developing the seminary statement. The review, called an Apostolic Visitation, was ordered by Pope John Paul II in response to the U.S. clergy sex abuse crisis which erupted in 2002. Among the questions the evaluators will ask is whether “there is evidence of homosexuality in the seminary,” according to the agency’s guide for the inspections. The Rev. Thomas Krenik, who taught for 10 years in St. Paul Seminary in Minnesota and wrote the guidebook “Formation for Priestly Celibacy,” worries that a blanket ban on gay priest-candidates will re-create the very conditions the Vatican wants to AP Senator Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., right, congratulates Judge John Roberts on Capitol Hill Thursday in Washington, after the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 135 to send his nomination as Chief Justice of the United States to the Senate floor where a final vote is expected next week. Roberts wins committee approval, heads to Senate for confirmation By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON — John Roberts’ nomination as chief justice cleared a Senate committee on a bipartisan vote of 13-5 Thursday, with next week’s confirmation so certain that Republicans and Democrats turned increasing attention to President Bush’s choice to fill a second Supreme Court vacancy. Before the committee vote on Roberts, Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., said, “I will vote my hopes and not my fears, and I will vote to confirm him.” Kohl was one of three Democrats on the Judiciary Committee who supported Roberts’ nomination along with all 10 Republicans on the panel. “I don’t see how anybody can justify a vote against Judge Roberts, unless they want to nitpick certain areas that you can nitpick on anybody,” said Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. Five Democrats voted against Roberts, questioning his commitment to civil rights and expressing concern that he might overturn the 1973 court ruling that established the right to abortion. “The values and perspectives displayed over and over again in his record cast doubt on his view of voting rights, women’s rights, civil rights and disability rights,” Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, DMass., said of the 50-year-old appeals court judge and former Reagan administration lawyer. The Democratic support for Roberts marked a stinging defeat for the liberal groups that are lobbying energetically against confirmation. Without mentioning names, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., criticized them in remarks on the Senate floor, accusing them of “kneejerk, unbending and what I consider to be unfair attacks” on lawmakers who disagreed with them. Even so, one prominent conservative said he was unimpressed with the level of bipartisanship in committee. “We’re supposed to think the Democrats are being magnanimous? Give me a break,” said Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society. He noted that several Supreme Court nominees of presidents of both parties have gained overwhelming bipartisan support in the past two decades. The full Senate is to debate Roberts’ nomination next week, with all 55 Republicans expected to support him. A final vote is expected Thursday, in enough time to allow him to succeed the late William H. Rehnquist and become the 17th chief justice before the court begins a new term on Oct. 3. The committee session over, Democrats not on the panel began making their positions known. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., a potential presidential contender in 2008, said she will oppose the nomination. In prepared remarks, she said, “Desire to maintain the already fragile Supreme Court majority for civil rights, voting rights and women’s rights outweighs the respect I have for Judge Roberts’ intellect, character and legal skills.” There was scant sparring in the Judiciary Committee as 18 senators took turns reading prepared statements laying out their positions. What passed for suspense had dissipated Wednesday, when Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the panel’s senior Democrat, announced he would support the nomination. With Roberts’ confirmation a certainty, several senators on the committee were looking ahead to Bush’s selection of a replacement for retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. 1 0 Y R .

I’ve heard straight priests say that they’re embarrassed by it. I’ve heard priests both straight and gay seriously considering leaving,” he said. “They couldn’t believe that after centuries of either explicit or implicit welcoming of celibate gay clergy that the church would turn its back on them.” Announces the Reopening of their Dental Office Office Hours 8AM - 5PM Monday - Friday 2910 Melton Ave. Office (228) 762-9250 Pascagoula, MS 39581 Fax (228) 762-1785 [email protected] Let us help you help Mississippi.

Wilson’s home was flooded during Hurricane Katrina. He did not have flood insurance, and his insurance company told him they would not pay for any water damage in his home. Insurance From Page 1-A The battle hinges on what, from a distance, might seem straightforward. Were homes and businesses in Katrina’s path battered by the hurricane’s 145 mph winds or a storm surge that sent Gulf waters up to 30 feet high rushing more than a mile inland, well beyond designated flood zones? Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood argued in a lawsuit filed last week against Allstate, State Farm Insurance Cos., Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., Mississippi Farm Bureau Insurance and other insurers operating in the state that they should pay for all Katrina damages, whether caused by wind, wind-driven water or storm surge flooding. Insurers say their policies don’t cover floods and that’s what Katrina’s storm surge was — water pushed by the force of the wind. Flood insurance is offered separately by the federal government. Homeowners bought their insurance policies “for the primary purpose of insuring against any damage that could possibly result from hurricanes originating from the Gulf of Mexico,” the suit says. “This wasn’t Flood Katrina. This was Hurricane Katrina,” attorney general’s spokesman Jacob Ray says. The lawsuits aren’t likely to end there. Richard Scruggs, a lawyer from nearby Pascagoula known for extracting huge settlements from tobacco and asbestos manufacturers, was among those whose home was damaged. Scruggs says he will lead homeowners in challenging what he says are insurers’ deceptive business practices. Insurers are trying to “dine and dodge,” Scruggs says. The insurance industry — already looking at losses that could reach $60 billion — says a ruling in Hood’s favor would be financially ruinous and could turn insurance regulation on its head. Hood’s lawsuit “threatens to undermine the insurance industry’s financial stability and its ability to respond not only to its obligations arising out of Katrina, but also its ability to respond to other claim obligations in Mississippi and around the U.S.,” State Farm spokesman Dick Luedke said. Even if they prevail, it’s un-clear how insurers would fare against individual homeowners. “My guess is that it is going to be a mixed result. I think the insurance companies are going to lose a lot more than they expect, both in terms of public opinion and in terms of actually losing in court,” said J. Robert Hunter, director of insurance at the Consumer Federation of America and former administrator of the national flood insurance program. From Page 1-A is one of many in Pascagoula with such a sign. She is still waiting for a visit from an insurance adjuster. “We just hope they will give us a fair deal,” said Faye McIntosh of Pascagoula. Across the Gulf Coast, insurance companies are becoming a target or scorn and legal action as they pay some claims, but deny others: The basis for the decision being whether a home was damaged by hurricane force winds, or hurricane-driven storm surge. The Mississippi Attorney General’s office has filed suit against a number of insurance companies it alleges are forcing homeowners to sign documents stating their homes were damaged by storm surge in order to get an advance on their claims. Pascagoula attorney Richard Scruggs also filed suit against the insurance companies for denying claims to residents who lost their homes to Katrina’s storm surge. The Mississippi Department of Insurance and some Gulf Coast lawyers say there are some steps that individuals can take to insure they are ready to work through the insurance settlement process. Patience is one of the first things that all those affected by the hurricane should have said Lee Harrell, Mississippi’s deputy commissioner of insurance. People making claims with their insurance companies should also take pictures of all damage before repairs and cleanup are done and then keeping receipts for all repairs. “First things first, get a copy of your policy. The policy is the contract, so you have to start with their policy and what your policy does,” said Ed Taylor, an attorney with Daniel, Coker, Horton and Bell. People should be aware that individual policies differ. One of the most important issues for people to grasp is flooding. A question to ask is, how are they proving that the water came first, he said. Then take steps to find out FOR HELP You can contact Mississippi Department of Insurance with any concerns between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. at local, 601359-2453; in-state, 1-800562-2957; out-of-state, 1866-856-1982; or anytime on the insurance department Web site at www.doi.state.ms.us if you can prove what happened to your home such as if the wind destroyed your house before the floodwaters ever reached. “Make some kind of notes about how it was damaged: By wind or water. Are there witnesses that saw the damage? Was it torn up by the wind long before the water,” Taylor said. Once the adjuster comes and inspects your home be aware that you do not have to agree with them and you can always get a second opinion from a contractor. “If you think that someone is low-balling you , it is just like going to the doctor you will want to get a second opinion,” Taylor said. Harrell said it is also important for people to realize that by accepting upfront payment from the insurance company you are not saying you agree with the proposed settlement. “You can negotiate with the insurance company and you need to have the adjuster explain why they come up with value they are giving you,” Harrell said. One good ways to prove the value of you home is through an independent appraisal or through tax records, he said. Reporter Amanda Creel can be reached at [email protected] or (251) 219-5551. Rita From Page 1-A Management Director Butch Loper. “Due to the unpredictable nature of tropical systems, we want our residents to begin planning and to closely monitor television and radio for updated information.” “There’s something brewing for sure,” said Richard Grayson, 76, who has been living in a tent and RV in Waveland along with his friend, Tom Elliott, since Katrina. The men packed just in case the storm got worse, but weren’t in a hurry to leave, even after hearing calls to evacuate delivered by megaphone from a passing car. “Where does one go? You don’t. You stay,” Grayson said. “We came down here prepared to rough it, and frankly I don’t like to go somewhere and impose on people.” In Pearlington, Claude Miller and his wife, Cookie, had no way to leave. “We have no transportation, no nothing. We couldn’t go anywhere if we had anywhere,” he said. “My wife, she’s wanting to go. But where you going to go? It’s just a mess.” The latest predictions show Rita, a Category 4 storm marching west-northwest across the Gulf of Mexico, could make landfall late Friday or early Saturday. Rita made a sharper-than-expected turn to the right Thursday afternoon, and it appeared as if the storm might come ashore near Port Arthur, Texas, or Lake Charles, La. The Mississippi Emergency Management agency said residents should prepare for the possibility the hurricane could cause heavy rains, flooding and even tornadoes once it makes landfall. Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck issued the emergency declaration at the request of Barbour, who was in Washington meeting with congressional and administration officials about ongoing recovery efforts. Hancock County urged residents in areas that normally flood during heavy rains or high tides to move inland. A similar call went out to displaced residents and work crews living in mobile homes and tents. Mississippi Press reporter John Surratt contributed to this report.

Reps. Gene Taylor of Mississippi and Charlie Melancon of Louisiana said in a letter to Bush that a nonpartisan investigation is needed along the lines of the independent panel that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. “It is abundantly clear that the preparations and response to Katrina were lacking,” the lawmakers wrote. “How they were lacking and who should be held accountable are questions that should be asked and answered as honestly as possible.” Taylor and Melancon said the “real work of uncovering the failures that compounded the Katrina tragedy must be taken out PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE That’s what needs to happen and that’s our most sincere intention. WE’RE LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED WITH 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE SERVING THE GULF COAST.

The activities and workers at Gautier High School are part of a program called the incident command system, a mechanism to coordinate emergency activities developed by California and National Forest Service officials that was born out of the annual battles with forest fires that damage the West Coast. “ICS has been in the military for years,” said Jim Parrott, Pinole, Calif., fire chief and deputy incident commander with the East Bay Incident Mission Team, which is coordinating the recovery effort for Jackson County. “It provides unity of command, establishes a span of control so that the system is not taxed and sets an objective,” he said. Operations under the incident command are divided into a series of different branches which are subdivided into different divisions. The division supervisors report to the branch director, who in turn reports to operations. The divisions, Parrott said, allow for better control and command, giving supervisors in each division one person to answer to. “We coordinate the activities,” he said. “We don’t try to tell people what to do. We’re here as moderators to facilitate the program. The system operation here is split between state and local officials.” Part of the team’s job is preparing the agency reports that are reviewed during the daily morning briefings for workers and supervisors. “We set daily goals,” Parrott said. “The reports show how well each agency has done in reaching their goals. We’ve had some success and some failures. What we’re looking to do is meet short term and long-term goals. The shortterm goals involve the recovery. The long-term goals are things that we hope will be in place after we leave.” “A lot of people look at ICS and they shy away from it because it looks so complicated,” firefighter Tim August said. “But it’s really very simple once you learn it. It helps people focus on their missions and their objectives.” August, who works with the East Bay Regional Parks Fire Department near Oakland, Calif., said the difference between using the system for forest fires and then applying it for the hurricane is the size of the organizational chart. “They’re usually not this large,” he said. “Sometimes for a fire, we have two ICS teams, one to coordinate fighting the fire and another for the recovery. I hope they put a program together here. It will really help them.” Jackson County Civil Defense Director Butch Loper said county officials have been working on the ICS concept, adding that county workers have gone to training programs for ICS. “I just hope we start getting off terrorism training and do more on natural hazards, which is a greater threat,” he said. Loper said having the ICS program in place has helped the county’s recovery. “You get all the support in one area and you know who you’re dealing with in each division,” he said. “That helps get things done.” Outside the high school’s buildings, the ICP takes on a different look.

Our neighbor “Roy” is retired, but probably less than 60 years old. The fence between Roy’s property and ours is 6 feet tall, but the wood has shrunk and there are gaps of about half-an-inch or more between the boards. Abby, Roy likes to work nude in his back yard and has told my wife he does this. Otherwise, he seems like Dear Abby a decent fellow. He has given my wife nectarines from over the fence, which is as close as I want his naked presence to my wife. Roy insists he has the “right” to go naked in his own back yard. Unfortunately, my wife agrees, and tells me she’s not looking. I have asked her not to accept any more gifts over the fence from Roy and to keep her contact with him to a minimum. Am I being foolish? How would you recommend I handle this? — Too close for comfort in Calif. Dear Too Close for comfort: With a 6-foot fence around his property, Roy is probably within his rights to garden “au naturel.” One way to handle the problem would be for you to develop an interest in horticulture. Perhaps the appearance of that fence could be improved by planting bougainvillea, or poison ivy on your side of it. Or a lovely cactus garden ... the possibilities are almost endless if you put your mind to it. P.S. Just be sure to wear gloves. Dear Abby: Hello! I am 11 years old. I have known my best friend, “Dawn,” since preschool. She has always been one step ahead of me. If I managed to get one step ahead of her, she’d get jealous and mad. Recently my mother got pregnant.

Our Opinion Idiots Eleven It’s never been appealing, the idea of out-ofstate money and groups targeting political candidates. But we’ve found 11 exceptions to the rule: We’ll call them “The Dirty Dozen, Minus One,” or “Idiots Eleven.” The scoundrels are 11 members of Congress who voted against the $51 billion aid package for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Their names? • Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas • Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. • Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. • Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J. • Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind. • Rep. Steve King , R- Iowa • Rep. Butch Otter, R- Idaho. • Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas • Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wisc. • Rep. Tom Tancredo, R- Colo. • Lynn Westmoreland, R- Ga. Party shouldn’t matter here, but surely the 11 must be a source of embarrassment to a Bush administration struggling to right its ship after the slow federal response to Katrina. Let’s take it a step further. The eleven are an embarrassment to Congress — an institution once a training ground for future presidents, now an institution where the bar has been lowered, to allow at least 11 second-rate intellects, soulless tin men and women without hearts. Take for example Rep. Barton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, who voted against the aid package 24 hours after telling Gov. Haley Barbour and Gov. Kathleen Blanco of Louisiana that his committee would do “whatever we can do to help,” the Fort Worth Star Telegram reported. And after compelling testimony from our governor, Barton said: “Whatever you need from the federal government, if you’ll work through them or directly with us — if it’s within this committee's jurisdiction, we’ll do everything we can to make it happen sooner rather than later and bigger rather than smaller.” His vote speaks volumes that Barton is long on rhetoric, short on compassion and integrity. Barton said that while he supports aid for food, clothing and shelter for hurricane victims, he wants to make sure the funding gets where it is needed. What that says is that Barton and his 10 toadies have little faith in this administration to handle the money well. Consider the pork those 11 — and frankly others in the House and Senate — have squandered on pet projects, farm subsidies and on and on. Yet the members of the Dirty Dozen, Minus One can turn their backs on undeniable suffering. By the way, the House approved the spending bill Wednesday 410-11, the Senate, 97-0. In only one sense should we remind the 11 of their party. Many of the God-fearing people who made Mississippi and Louisiana a Red State, would likely vote for these 11. Last Sunday, those Red State voters worshipped in borrowed clothes, reading from borrowed Bibles. The tears were all they had that were not borrowed or salvaged from the horror of Hurricane Katrina. These 11 surely forgot about George W. Bush’s “Compassionate Conservatism” and “expanding the tent.” These days, many on the Gulf Coast would give anything for a tent — the canvas kind. The folks who sent these reprehensible people to Congress did so with the understanding that they would represent their values: Family, faith, compassion. Denying desperately needed help in the face of undeniable pain shows that these 11 representatives have forgotten that mandate. When the next election comes, they should be sacked, not for the sake of their party, nor their districts, but for the sake of the nation. Electing these heartless charlatans to Congress moves the national conscience closer to bankruptcy. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 Katrina’s political clout Mother Nature has a deft hand when it comes to reorganizing human perspective, as we’ve witnessed with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Suddenly “things” don’t matter, we’re reminded; only life and loved ones do. But Mother Nature also has other talents — ripple effects and trickle-down consequences that help shape the political landscape. As she highlights our priorities, she also showcases those individuals who rise to the occasion. As well as those who don’t. Thus, Katrina and Rita may be pivotal players in determining who becomes the next president of the Kathleen United States. Presi- Parker dents, after all, are often elected according to the climate at a given moment, rather than by strict measures of specific skills. President George W. Bush, despite his early days of bacchanalia (hardly a solitary pursuit among the baby-boomer generation), was a stiff shirt and straight arrow following Bill Clinton’s prolonged adolescence. He was, in other words, a reaction vote for someone who promised to restore dignity to the White House. No more “little office” parties; no more Hollywood stars jumping on the Lincoln bed. In his time, Clinton — just a warmblooded good ol’ boy from Arkansas who could feel everybody’s pain (and the occasional intern) — was a reaction to the cold New England, out-of-touch George H.W. Bush, himself a kinder-gentler reaction to tough-guy Ronald Reagan, who was a reaction to a peanut farmer with a preacher streak, who was a reaction to the corrupt era of Watergate. You get the picture. In the current climate of war and ravaging hurricanes, the lingering effects of which will be on front pages for months if not years, what sort of president might be next in line? In times of national disaster and cataclysmic events, who you gonna call? Rudy, Rudy, Rudy — as in former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani — springs to mind. Or is it Arizona Sen. John McCain? Both men have been getting lots of buzz the past couple of weeks as Americans have been reeling from hurricanes, massive federal spending promises and leadership that makes the Keystone Cops seem like Swiss clockmakers. Both men have been leading the short list of possible Republican presidential candidates, of course, but then Katrina and Rita came along. They were more than weather. While no one wishes to minimize or trivialize the horror of these storms, especially as people are still struggling with death and loss, there’s no avoiding the inevitable political effects. Giuliani has benefited greatly by his unavoidable comparison to New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin. Obviously, hurricanes and terrorist attacks are vastly different, especially in scope. But Nagin missed his bullhorn moments: first, before the storm when he might have evacuated thousands of poor people without access to transportation; second, immediately afterward when his city quickly turned into a swamp of anarchy. If Katrina is remembered as the storm that destroyed New Orleans, Nagin will be remembered as the mayor who lost control. By comparison, Giuliani is forever imprinted on the American psyche as the Eveready-man, able to manage whatever furies are unleashed by Earth’s wrath or Hell’s wraiths. McCain may have benefited politically even more than Giuliani from the storms’ ripples. As Americans recoil in horror at the projected $200 billion federal price tag attached to rebuilding New Orleans and the Gulf Coast (and who knows for Rita), McCain is one of the few voices — along with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. — calling for government restraint. Not against the spending per se, as the federal government is mandated by law to cover a certain percentage of reconstruction costs following disaster. But against pork-barrel and other unnecessary spending during a time of war and natural disaster. While some are calling for cuts in war spending and troop withdrawal from Iraq to meet these expenses, McCain and Coburn issued a joint statement calling on Congress to “lead by example” by cutting pork-barrel spending to help fund hurricane relief. They made some progress Wednesday as Coburn succeeded in getting the Senate to pass an amendment attached to the Agriculture appropriations bill that would “lift the veil of secrecy that conceals the process of inserting special projects — or pork — into appropriations bills.” Thus McCain, as a voice of fiscal conservatism in a party that has strayed far from that principle, may evolve as the hurricane candidate. Hurricane McCain? A war hero in a time of war, who is also a small-government conservative in an era of deficit spending, sounds like a perfect storm.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Power to the people To the editor: They came by the truckload. From California to New York, from Canada to Florida. They gave up the comfort of their surroundings and their families to come help us through our literally darkest hours. They braved heat and humidity, fallen trees, power lines, lack of water and shelter. We were told to expect six to eight weeks before we could have power restored. Some areas received power within six days. Utility crews have worked miracles and have gone out of their way to help us. They have been living in tents, just like us. They have also made water and ice runs. How can we ever thank them? We need to stay out of their way and give them room to continue the work they have to do. Let it be known that we are eternally grateful to the power people. Elaine Parker Ocean Springs After Katrina blew through the Coast, many survivors looked for protection and hope from their local police forces. Sadly, most of the region’s law enforcement was no more prepared for the storm’s aftermath than the other hapless government officials who dragged their feet for days in restoring order and delivering food and medical supplies. Here in Mississippi there were some reports of looting. But radio and television broadcasts prior to the storm informed people they were NOT allowed to shoot somebody for such a crime. Shortly after the storm passed, folks were told that the 911 services in Louisiana and Mississippi were “unreliable.” Now, I’m no disaster response professional. But when you combine potential breaking and entering Gaylon with a lack of police protection you will arrive at Parker combustible results. I, for example, and many of my neighbors had weapons next to our front doors for days after the storm. Was I genuinely worried that a gang of thugs would come rolling down my block carrying shotguns and looking to steal my Chunky Soup and gasoline or rape my daughter? No, but I was unwilling to take the chance of being unprepared, particularly in light of the news reports that were coming out of the Crescent City. In the wake of the storm we’ve discovered that the malfeasance and lawlessness in New Orleans was epidemic. That’s not a racial statement; it’s a factual one. Reuters released a news story Wednesday that described the conditions thusly: “After the storm, the (Algiers Point) neighborhood association had to act as law enforcement and emergency response unit as city services collapsed and the police force was unable to protect them. Citizens organized armed patrols and checked on the elderly. They slept on their porches with loaded shotguns and bolted awake when intruders stumbled on the aluminum cans they had scattered on the sidewalk. Gunshots rang out for days, sometimes terrifyingly close.” When government is unable to do its job, responsible citizens take over. The people who helped protect those neighborhoods deserve hero status for standing up to the criminals in ways police didn’t (or couldn’t). So do the churches and emergency services that filled the void in the food-distribution and medical systems. In fact, some authorities said the looters had cart blanche if they were stealing food or medicine from grocery stores but not if they were stealing tennis shoes or beer. Who’s to say which individuals don’t need shoes? If police were looking the other way while people stole bread and canned goods, how could they make the argument looters didn’t need clothes or radios? The point is: All theft is wrong. Then, after the storm authorities were breaking into homes themselves and evicting the residents while taking their firearms. The Washington Post quoted the New Orleans police chief P. Edwin Compass III as saying, “No one is allowed to be armed. We’re going to take all the guns.” Apparently, the only guns confiscated were from law-abiding citizens trying to protect their property and those found in abandoned homes that police didn’t want to fall into the hands of criminals. But how many looters were arrested by police after the storm passed? According to a report from The Neshoba Democrat, there were about 100 people taken into custody in Mississippi. Reuters said 259 were arrested for various crimes throughout New Orleans, but that pales in comparison to the reported violence and theft. Other accounts flooding the Internet’s email network say citizens defended their property against thugs by remaining vigilant and carrying AK-47s or other so-called “assault rifles.” In the face of sure violence and close danger, what do authorities expect citizens to do? It reminds me of a story my friend and former co-worker, Mike Shinaberry, told me about the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. There was a Korean grocery store near Mike’s radio station that was untouched after the riots were quelled and he wanted to know how that was possible. The owner told Mike that he and his family stood on the rooftop with their SKS rifles and other firearms and pointed them at looters and rioters as they approached. Discretion, I suppose, controlled the better part of the looters’ minds and they turned away numerous times. That’s why our founders crafted the Second Amendment, so people could protect themselves in the event of national emergency. As the stories leak out of New Orleans about the effectiveness of firearm defense, we should all recognize their value to the protection of people and property.

McGilberry From Page 1-A was aware of the ruling and that a sentencing hearing would be held. “I disagree with the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court because it takes the power from the jury to sentence a defendant,” he said. “That is a decision that the jury should make. (But) we will schedule the hearing and act accordingly.” McGilberry was convicted of using a baseball bat to kill four relatives on Oct. 23, 1994, in the St. Martin community. McGilberry’s stepfather, Kenneth Purifoy; mother, Patricia Purifoy; stepsister, Kimberly Self; and stepnephew, Kristopher Self, were murdered. McGilberry took a money order from his mother’s purse and drove away in the family’s vehicle. McGilberry told lawmen where to find the murder weapon. In the Dycus case, Justice Michael K. Randolph, joined by five other justices, said the people had expressed their will through local legislatures and the Congress that they wanted the death penalty. “I would respectfully urge the (U.S.) Supreme Court to exercise judicial restraint, as the function of all courts is to adjudicate, not to legislate. Courts are charged with the responsibility to interpret, not create law,” Randolph wrote. Eskridge was 17 at the time of his crime and was convicted for his part in Dec. 2, 1997, robbery-murder of a retarded Grenada woman. He pleaded guilty to capital murder and was sentenced to death in 1999 by an Attala County Jury. Testimony showed Eskridge, along with four others, planned and carried out a plan to rob specific people. Prosecutors said the five then attacked 34-year-old Cheryl Johnson, who was struck in the head with a beer bottle, robbed of an unspecified amount of money, and ordered to remove her clothes. She was shot in the chest at close range. Authorities said a gun taken from Eskridge at the time of his arrest was tested and found to be the murder weapon. Holly was 17 at the time of his crime and was sentenced to death in 1993 in Grenada County. Holly was convicted in the July 12, 1992, killing of a Grenada cab driver. Holly claimed that he accidentally shot David Norwood Jr. while trying to steal the man’s money and cab. Norwood had picked up Holly and two friends at the railroad station in Grenada. An accomplice testified Holly shot the cab driver in the back with a shotgun after ordering him to run into the woods. Holly had claimed the shotgun fired accidentally when he tripped.

Ocean Springs Middle School did “exceptionally well,” Hurt said, with only minor roof damage. Despite the extent of the damage and only temporary repairs, Hurt said the school facilities are safe for the return of students. By the end of the day, she said, the buildings will have been inspected by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Ocean Springs Fire Department, the district’s architectural firm, the city’s building department and the health department. Students may be less likely to misbehave during the first few days back. Ten National Guardsmen have been assigned to Ocean Springs schools to assist with traffic, security and health issues, Hurt said. School counselors have been working to prepare handouts, sessions and counseling tips, as well. “As a rule,” Hurt said, “students are very resilient and they tend to do much better Carisa Anderson/The Mississippi Press Sixth-grade special education teacher Judy Kleiner, left, helps fifth-grade special education teacher Misty McMahon clean up her Taconi Elementary classroom. Many books and papers had to be thrown away because of water damage and mold. than we adults do.” Teachers at N.E. Taconi Elementary have a plan to help students cope during the first week of school. A new schedule will allow students to stay in homeroom for 45 minutes each day, Anita Carroll said, providing time for special activities. “On Monday and Tuesday (the activities) will be more about trying to talk out everything that’s happened,” she said. “Wednesday morning (the students) are going to “blow” Katrina away with the bubbles.” Colleague Colleen Simnicht explained. “The first two days are about dealing with what has happened,” she said. “The next three days are about healing, and what we can do to heal, to change.” Nathan Kleiner, 9, was less enthused about returning to fourth grade at Magnolia Park Elementary. “The only thing I don’t really like about school is the homework, but I’ll get through it,” he said. The early mornings are less thrilling, Kleiner said. “That’s pretty bad, too,” he continued. “I don’t like getting up. It takes me 15 minutes.” Taconi principal Susan Dollar said expected enrollment for the new year is a guessing game. She had 420 students attending the school before the storm. Many students’ families have told her they will have to move away — at least temporarily. “I think it’s going to be an in-and-out year,” she said. “We’re going to have people coming and going.” Newsletters with updated information is available for parents at each school.

Wittner, (251) 219-5553 E-mail address: [email protected] B Friday, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 Moss Point visits No. 3 Hattiesburg ■ Dontavious Morrisette, Tigers look to avenge 2004’s bitter defeat By JR. WITTNER The Mississippi Press A long-standing series resumes tonight when No. 9 Moss Point travels to No. 3 Hattiesburg. Both teams, who are known as the Tigers, have met each year since 1995 with the last Moss Point victory coming in 2001. Moss Point topped Hattiesburg 55-34 that season, and had a chance for a victory in the closing seconds of last year’s game in Morrisette Moss Point, but missed a field goal. “We have a long history of playing Hattiesburg, and it seems like every year it is always a tough game,” Moss Point head coach Jerry Alexander said. “I think it is good game for us and our fans because they always have one of the top teams in the state.” In last year’s game, Hattiesburg running back Bubba (Johnathan) Kirksey had a big game rushing against the Tigers and Alexander says stopping Kirksey is a key to winning the game. “Their running back had a big game against us last season,” Alexander said. “He is the type of player who can make a real difference. But he is not all they have. They have an experience offensive line and their quarterback and wide receivers can really make plays.” Moss Point opened the season with a win over the No. 6 (4A) Picayune, but fell last week to 4A No. 1 Wayne County after a two week layoff due to Hurricane Katrina. “I’m not making excuses, but you could tell last week who had been playing and who had been practicing,” Alexander said of the 29-16 loss to Wayne County. “We were in the game up until the end. They scored their final touchdown with about three minutes to go. “We really got a solid game from Dontavious Morrisette running the ball. We probably should’ve gotten him the ball more because he was running so well.” Hattiesburg (3-0) have opened the season with wins over Biloxi, Laurel and Picayune. The game against Hattiesburg continues a rough preregion schedule for the Tigers who have already played Picayune and Wayne County. After the game against Hattiesburg, the Tigers will take on 5A No. 1 South Panola Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. “Playing these tough teams helps make us better for the region schedule and the playoffs,” Alexander said. “We played pretty good last week and we just are trying to get better every week.” JR.

Greyhounds hit road to Picayune By JOSH JOHNSON The Mississippi Press After a heartbreaking loss to a team coach Steve Jones called one of the most athletic squads his Greyhounds will face this year, the slate doesn’t get any easier as Ocean Springs (1-1) hits the road to 4A’s No. 9 ranked Picayune tonight. The Greyhounds committed some tough penalties and had to weather a rain delay in a 17-14 loss in Carencro, La. last week, however, Jones likes what he has seen this week during practice from his team. “We’ve had a very good week of practice,” Jones said. “We had some tough penalties last week. They were first-game penalties, and I think the rain delay and three hour bus trip got our focus off the game. “But, Carencro has a very good team. They were young on offense, but they were very athletic and very good on defense.” Jones expects the same thing from Picayune, but unlike last week, the Greyhounds are familiar with one of Mississippi’s best teams. “They have a very good football team,” Jones said. “We played in a jamboree against them in August, so we know what to expect. They did run out of their basic offense, and so did we, so they’ll be some things we see from them that are new.” Picayune may have to change a few things up against the Greyhounds after starting the 2005 season 0-2. However, those two losses on its ledger have come against some pretty good football teams. Picayune has fallen to two 5A schools: No. 3 Hattiesburg and No. 8 Moss Point. Still, Jones likes his team’s chances. “Everybody played pretty well last week against a good team,” Jones said. “We had a few guys that didn’t dress last week, but we are healthy heading into the game. “We’re a lot better off this week than we were last week.” Jones is expecting good things from some Greyhounds who weren’t able to play last week. Middle linebacker Paul Gunn returns, while Willis Rivers’ family has decided to stay in Mississippi, despite a plan to move to Missouri. Rivers dressed but didn’t play last week against Carencro. Jones also expects good things tonight from Richard Dickson. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Josh Johnson can be reached at [email protected] or (251) 219-5553. The Mississippi Press file photo St. Martin hits the field tonight, hosting Jackson County foe East Central. The Yellow Jackets have not played a game since Aug. 26. 4A-3A preview Jackets make return ■ St. Martin hosts East Central after three week layoff From Staff Reports Christy Prichett/The Mississippi Press Ocean Springs hopes get back on the winning track tonight as they travel to Picayune. St. Martin restarts its 2005 schedule tonight by hosting Jackson County foe East Central. David Gregory’s team hasn’t hit the field since Aug. 26 when it lost to Ocean Springs, while East Central lost to Petal, 35-0 last week. Gregory added he thought the Hornets were affected by the layoff. “It looks like they were in the same boat as everyone else last week,” Gregory said. “I think they were still in shock from the storm and didn’t get a whole lot of practice time.” So far on the young season, not too many things have fallen in place for Toby Melton’s team, as the Hornets have given up an average of 35 points a game and have scored just seven points. Melton added that injuries and a transfer by tailback Bryant Lidell have forced the coaching staff to move personnel. “We’ve had to move some personnel around, but we’ve had a great week of practice,” Melton said. “We give up 35 points a game, so we are trying to fix things.” Despite a longer layoff, Melton added St. Martin may not need to change much based on its early showing against a strong Ocean Springs team. “They stepped up and played well against Ocean Springs,” Melton said. “I think depth hurt them because it looked like Ocean Springs wore them down.” However, the loss and the storm hasn’t affected St. Martin so far on the practice field. Gregory said his team returned to practice last week with renewed enthusiasm and called Tuesday and Wednesday practices of this week as two of the better practices the team has had since returning to the football field. Most of St. Martin’s players have returned to the team, expect for a few that quit the team to help the community with the aftermath left by Hurricane Katrina. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Vancleave (0-2) at Forrest County AHS (3-0), 7 p.m. The Vancleave Bulldogs have a tough task in front of them as they open the Region 8-4A schedule with Forrest County tonight. Forrest County has opened the season with wins over Purvis, North Forrest and Pearl River Central, while Vancleave has suffered a loss to Long Beach and fell 30-14 to 1A No. 2 Mount Olive last week. “We’ve played Forrest County the last couple of years so we know what they bring to the table,” Bloomfield said. “They have a good football team and they run the ball really well and that is something we have to focus on.” The Bulldogs have opened the last two seasons with wins over Forrest County, but this will be the first time the teams have squared off in region play. “They have a lot of experience and I know they are like we are and want to open the region season with a win,” Bloomfield said. The Bulldogs have suffered a few injuries in the early going and are relying on some freshman to step up. In the loss last week, John Hannah scored on a 4-yard touchdown run and linebacker Nick Dubuisson scored on a 30See PREP, Page 3-B Phillies win, cut into Braves’ NL East lead By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press ATLANTA — The Philadelphia Phillies are keeping the pressure on the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.

Jimmy Rollins led off the afternoon with a single, extending his hitting streak to a post1900 franchise-record 27 games, and Philadelphia wound up winning two of three at Turner Field, closing within four games of the Braves with nine left. The Phillies have at least made things interesting by beating Atlanta five times in seven games over the last week and a half. Philadelphia remained two games behind Houston in the wild-card race. The Astros completed a sweep in Pittsburgh with a 2-1 victory over the Pirates. Hudson (13-9) got two outs in the ninth, only to get tagged by two straight pinch-hitters. Michael Tucker singled in the game’s first run and Shane Victorino followed with his first career homer, a three-run shot that knocked out Hudson. Manager Bobby Cox was booed as he came out to make a pitching change, the home fans upset that he let Hudson hit in the bottom of the eighth with the potential go-ahead run at third. Hudson grounded out weakly in front of the plate, and Rafael Furcal’s sharp liner was back- handed by David Bell to end the threat. Then, the Phillies took advantage of a fading Hudson, who threw 116 pitches. The Braves didn’t do much against Lieber (16-12), who had beaten them three times this season. Only three runners got as far as second base, most notably Ryan Langerhans with a leadoff double in the eighth. He moved to third on Brian McCann’s grounder, but that was it. Andruw Jones, mired in a 1for-23 slump, led off the second with a single and moved up on Adam LaRoche’s sacrifice bunt, only to get stranded there. Furcal doubled with two outs in the third, but Marcus Giles popped out to short center. Lieber struck out seven and didn’t walk anyone. Rollins singled to right on the second pitch of the game. His hitting streak had tied him with Chuck Klein, who had a pair of 26-game strings in 1930. After Rollins’ hit, Kenny Lofton hit into a forceout, then Chase Utley walked to put two on with one out. But Hudson escaped the jam, getting Bobby Abreu and Pat Burrell to ground out. Hudson faced the minimum over the next four innings, the only hit — Abreu’s fourthinning single — erased by a double play. But the Phillies threatened again in the sixth, once again sparked by Rollins. The leadoff hitter doubled off the wall in right with one out, and Lofton walked. The runners moved up on Utley’s grounder, and Hudson walked Abreu intentionally to load the bases. Burrell hit a liner up the middle on the very next pitch, but second baseman Marcus Giles had it played perfectly and made the inning-ending catch. Disgusted, Burrell slung his bat toward dugout. 2-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS FOOTBALL AP Top 25 Record Pts Pvs 1. So. Cal (57) 2-0 1,617 1 2. Texas (8) 3-0 1,564 2 3. LSU 1-0 1,437 3 4.

LSU-UT showdown moved to Monday The Associated Press KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — LSU’s home opener has been delayed by a hurricane once again, and this time it was Rita that forced the Tigers’ game against Tennessee scheduled for Saturday to be moved to Monday night. The Southeastern Conference made the announcement Thursday after a conference call with school officials. The game will start at 7:30 EDT and be televised by ESPN2. “After reviewing all of the information I felt this was the best decision for the game,” SEC commissioner Mike Slive said. “The safety of our student-athletes, coaches and fans is our priority. I understand this puts a burden on LSU and its administration, however, the travel safety issues necessitate this decision.” Hurricane Rita was heading toward the Texas Gulf Coast and western Louisiana on Thursday. It was expected to make landfall by late Friday or early Saturday. LSU’s first home game against North Texas was scheduled for Sept. 3, just a few days after Katrina ravaged the New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Then LSU’s game against Arizona State, slated for Sept. 10 at Tiger Stadium, was moved to Tempe, Ariz., because of the hurricane aftermath that turned the campus into a temporary shelter, hospital and morgue. The Tigers beat Arizona State 35-31 in Tempe and haven’t played since. Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer was opposed to playing this weekend’s game on Saturday, believing the conditions would be unsafe for travel. Even before Rita started making its way toward Louisiana, the Volunteers were going to have an unusual game day. With no hotel rooms available in Baton Rouge, Tennessee planned to fly into the city early Saturday for the night game. Gamez leads Texas Open SAN ANTONIO — Robert Gamez shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead over Houston-area resident Jeff Maggert after the first round of the Texas Open. “That’s a good round, but I have to keep it going,” Gamez said. “That’s been my problem in the past.” Maggert’s 63 capped a day where many of the Texas players kept an eye on the weather as Hurricane Rita approached the Texas coast. He flew his wife and children — including year-old twins — into town early Friday on a charter flight from The Woodlands airport near his home. “Getting my wife and kids here put my mind at ease after going back and forth over the situation the past couple of days. I’m counting my blessings,” Maggert said. “Part of the problem I’ve had for the last two years is trying too hard, but today my mind wasn’t holding me back because I was so happy my family was here.” Boxer dies from brain injury sustained in title fight LAS VEGAS — Boxer Leavander Johnson died Thursday from injuries sustained five days earlier in a lightweight title fight with Jesus Chavez. The 35-year-old died at University Medical Center, where he had been hospitalized since being injured in the fight Saturday night at the MGM Grand hotel-casino. A hospital spokeswoman said Johnson was pronounced dead at 4:23 p.m. Johnson’s promoter, Lou DiBella, said Johnson’s family members were present when he died. Johnson’s father was his trainer and his brother was his manager. Palmeiro said substance he received from Tejada might have caused positive test NEW YORK — Rafael Palmeiro told baseball’s arbitration panel that a vitamin he received from Baltimore Orioles teammate Miguel Tejada might have caused his positive test for steroid use. Palmeiro testified that he received B-12 from Tejada, a person familiar with the grievance hearing said Thursday on condition of anonymity because the proceedings were secret. “Right now I’m in shock,” Tejada, a former American League MVP, said after Baltimore lost to the New York Yankees on Thursday night. “I’ve never given anybody steroids before. I’ve been checked out three times already, and I’m clean.” Utah rebounds with win over Air Force ULM defeats Owls The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Brian Johnson passed for 305 yards and two touchdowns and ran for three scores, and Utah avoided its first losing streak in three years by beating Air Force 38-35 Thursday night. The Utes (3-1, 1-1 Mountain West), whose 18-game winning streak was snapped a week earlier in an overtime loss at TCU, scored twice in seven seconds to break a 14-all tie and led the rest of the way. Travis LaTendresse caught 10 passes, including a 12yarder for a touchdown from Johnson, and finished with 139 yards for Utah after catching just eight passes in the first three games. Johnson was 21-for-29 passing and scored on three 1-yard runs. He threw one interception, a ball tipped by a Utah player to one of the Falcons. Ryan Williams ran for two touchdowns for Air Force (2-2, 1-2), setting one up with a 34yard sprint up the middle on the opening drive. Adam Fitch rallied the Falcons in the fourth quarter, throwing a touchdown pass and running for a score with 1:08 remaining. But Utah recovered an onside kick for the second time in the quarter and ran out the clock. Utah hasn’t lost two games in a row since losing six straight in 2002. After gaining 242 yards in the first half, Air Force gained just 42 in the third quarter and struggled after Johnson’s 60yard pass to Brian Hernandez with about 11 minutes left in the third quarter put Utah up 38-21. Utah played some porous defense in the first half, then got stingy in the third quarter. It was good enough to hold off Air Force’s late comeback try. Eric Weddle recovered a fum- ble at the Air Force 12 to set up a touchdown and had an interception. Casey Evans also picked off a pass for the Utes and recovered the final kickoff to seal the victory. The Falcons got within 10 points on Fitch’s 15-yard pass to Jason Brown with 3:15 left in the game, but Utah recovered the onside kick and ran a couple more minutes off the clock. The 21 points scored in the second half were a stark contrast from the first, when Utah led 31-21 after Dan Beardall’s 46-yard field goal with 3 seconds left. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Calvin Dawson ran for a game-high 115 yards, the last coming on a 6-yard touchdown run with 1:23 remaining that lifted Louisiana-Monroe to a 2821 win over Florida Atlantic in the Owls’ first-ever Sun Belt Conference game. Florida Atlantic was driving near midfield with about 2 minutes remaining, before Louisiana-Monroe cornerback Chaz Williams stripped the ball out of receiver Thomas Parker’s hands and returned it 42 yards. Steven Jyles completed 19 of 31 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Florida Atlantic quarterback Danny Embick, threw for 168 yards and two scores. MOBILE GREYHOUND PARK MATINEE POST TIME 1:00 MON., WED. & SAT. EVENING POST TIME 7:30 MON. – SAT. 1-800-272-5000 Min. age 18 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 3-B THE MISSISSIPPI PRESS Be International team captures patient slim lead at Presidents Cup with outdoors By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press I know that many of you have suffered a lot of damage due to Hurricane Katrina and I hope that you all are recovering and doing well. South Mississippi may never look the same from this massive storm, but it is our task to take the load on our shoulders and take the time to rebuild. This week it is pretty hard to focus on the upcoming dove season or trying to go fishing when there is so much devastation and clean up to be done. Many of Jimmy you have Davis asked me over the past two weeks about hunting seasons and fishing because of the storm. I guess with the fall of the year upon us it might give us some peace of mind to look forward to spending some time in the woods or maybe trying to catch specks or a red fish in the marsh. The Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks has requested that before we enter any State or Federal Park, especially in south and central Mississippi you must report to central headquarters because many of these areas are still closed because of heavy damage. With bow season only a short time away, many of you will be using tree climbers to bow hunt and another word of caution is the timber industry in south Mississippi has taken a tremendous hit. At this time there has been no word from the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks on changing any seasons from what has been already been set. This is not to say, especially on state properties, that will not be changes. If there are I will report them to you as soon as I get them. Just a thought that I would like to put in the back of you mind: Those of us who stayed here and rode out the storm and through God’s will survived it, we must remember the game had no where to hide and they had to fend for themselves. As far as fishing goes in the saltwater, if there are any boats left, it is not recommended that you venture out or if you do, don’t keep any of the fish that you catch at this time. It is to my understanding that it will take some time for coastal Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana to purify itself and make it a safe place to fish. Also the shrimp industry has taken a tremendous blow and with all of the debris in the sound, I just don’t see how it is possible for a shrimper to operate a net and not get it tangled up on something. Freshwater fishermen you also must use extreme caution. Rivers and creeks and some lakes where you would not think twice about running wide open, you must use extreme caution because of underwater debris. Don’t be alarmed if in some areas, especially off the Pascagoula River, killing fish become a big problem because of so much debris in the water. Remember the good Lord placed the outdoors for us to enjoy, why we have storms like this is not for us to answer, let’s all work together and help our fellow neighbor to rebuild what we once had. I would like to thank all of the military, firemen and police as well as all of the volunteers from not only locally but those who left their families from all over the country to come and help us. If I can be of any assistance to any of you please e-mail me and I will do my very best to help. GAINESVILLE, Va. — Adam Scott watched his 25foot eagle putt from the fringe curl into the left side of the cup for a 3-up lead against Tiger Woods and Fred Couples, a serious blow that set the tone for the International team Thursday in the opening match at the Presidents Cup. Retief Goosen extended his hand, as if to tap fists with Scott to celebrate such a big putt in alternate shot. But all Goosen wanted was the ball. It was his turn on the tee. “I think I got a ’Good putt’ out of him,” Scott said with a smile. With quiet precision, Goosen and Scott turned in a tag-team performance that buried Woods and Couples and sent the International team into truly foreign territory at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club — in the lead. Mike Weir and Trevor Immelman brought up the rear, making four birdies in the first five holes to crush David Toms and Stewart Cink. In between, the International team did enough right to take a 3 1/2-2 1/2 lead. One point isn’t much, especially with 28 matches left until the cup is awarded. “It’s like a mile race and you’re 50 yards ahead,” International captain Gary Player said. “This is as close as it can be without being a tie.” But considering how the International team typically starts at RTJ, it was cause for optimism. In three previous trips to this golf course on the shores of Lake Manassas, the Americans have twice led 5-0 and once led 4-1 after the opening day. “Scott and Goosen beating Tiger and Freddie was a big thing for the International team,” U.S. captain Jack Nicklaus said. “It set the stage for them being ahead. It’s the difference in them being ahead. We were hoping for exactly the same situation. I thought we could match up against them and do well. I was wrong today.” The Americans didn’t have a lot of things go right for them. Jim Furyk’s first swing of the day aggravated a rib injury, and he had to get therapy between shots just to finish his match. He and Fred Funk scratched out a halve against Vijay Singh and Mark Hensby, but Nicklaus won’t know until Friday whether Furyk can play his better-ball match with Woods. Nicklaus’ best pairing from two years ago in South Africa — Davis Love III and Kenny Perry — each missed par putts to drop two behind down the stretch and lost on the 17th hole when Michael Campbell made a 12-foot birdie moments after Perry had made a 30-footer up the ridge. “Some places it could have been worse,” Nicklaus said. “Some places it could have been better. Tomorrow is another day.” Scott and Goosen got this day off to a resounding start. It started with a simple halve on the third hole, when Goosen hit a 60-foot putt to a hole location that was a few feet below a steep ridge. The putt was struck with such perfect pace that it settled 16 inches for the cup for a conceded birdie. Then, it was a matter of waiting for Woods and Couples to self-destruct. A poor chip by Woods cost them the fourth hole. Couples missed a 4-foot birdie putt so badly that it never touched the hole, falling two behind on the sixth. And when Scott made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-3 seventh that juts out into the lake, the International team already was 3-up. “The first match out is always important, no matter who you’re playing,” Scott said. “Gary wanted Retief and I to go out and give the guys something to see.” The turning point came at the par-5 10th. Woods and Couples won the previous hole, and then Couples made an unlikely birdie with a 35foot putt. But instead of cutting the deficit to one hole, Goosen calmly rolled in a 15footer to halve the hole. “That was probably the point in the match that ... we didn’t win it there, but it certainly had a big impact,” Scott said. “We changed our momentum. Retief rolls it in, and heads off to the next tee as he does, and everything is normal.” It was only the third time in 36 matches at the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup that Woods was beaten without getting to the 16th tee. Neither he nor Couples played well. “I was outclassed by three guys, and I couldn’t help Tiger at all,” Couples said. It was the marquee match of the day, and the anticipation built as former Presidents Bush and Clinton stood on the first tee amid the wives and the heads of six major golf tours around the world. Goosen, quiet as ever, kept it all in perspective when asked the importance of taking down Woods. “Do we get 10 points if we beat him?” he said. The Americans kept it close behind Scott Verplank and Justin Leonard, who grew up AP Gary Player, left, from South Africa, congratulates Angel Cabrera of Argentina after Cabrera and Michael Campbell of New Zealand beat Davis Love II and Kenny Perry of the United States 2 and 1 in their alternate-shot match at the Presidents Cup Thursday, at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va. The International team, captained by Player, leads the United States 3-1/2 to 2-1/2 after the first day of competition. U.S. captain Jack Nicklaus, right, approaches to add his sentiments. in Dallas and have similar games. They recovered from a rocky start, then poured it on with three straight birdies to start the back nine and won, 4 and 2, over Peter Lonard and Stuart Appleby. Phil Mickelson already atoned from his 0-5 performance two years ago in South Africa, teaming with Chris DiMarco for a 1-up victory over Nick O’Hern and Tim Clark. The most impressive performance came from Weir and Immelman, the Canadian having one of his worst years on tour, the South African playing his first Presidents Cup as a questionable captain’s pick. They were 6 under through 13 holes when the match ended, an astounding score for alternate shot. And they never came seriously close to making a bogey. “I don’t think it was anything Stewart or David did,” Weir said. “We just got off to a hot start and from there, we didn’t make any mistakes. So it was hard for those guys to get back in the match, because we were playing really well.” So was the rest of the International team, giving it a rare lead on opening day at RTJ. Willis helps Marlins stay in wild card race The Associated Press NEW YORK — Dontrelle Willis won his major leagueleading 22nd game and kept Florida’s flickering NL wildcard hopes alive, allowing five hits over eight innings. Florida, which lost the first two games of this series, remained four games behind Houston and two behind Philadelphia in the wild-card race. All three teams have nine games to play. Willis (22-9) ran his record to 8-1 since Aug. 1. Reds 6, Cardinals 2 CINCINNATI — Edwin Encarnacion’s bases-loaded double completed a five-run rally in the eighth inning for Cincinnati. The NL Central champion Cardinals clinched home-field advantage throughout the league playoffs when Atlanta lost earlier Thursday. Astros 2, Pirates 1 PITTSBURGH — Brandon Backe made his second successive strong start and the Houston Astros held their lead in the NL wild-card race, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates for their eighth win in nine games. The Astros lead Philadelphia by two games in the race for the NL’s fourth playoff spot. Rockies 4, Padres 2 DENVER — Aaron Cook took a shutout into the ninth inning, Todd Helton hit a tworun homer and the Colorado beat San Diego 4-2 Thursday, dropping the NL West-leading Padres back to .500. The Padres (76-76) lost for the second time in three days to the last-place Rockies. Colorado routed the Padres 20-1 Tuesday night. San Diego still leads the division by five games over San Francisco. Nationals 2, Giants 0 WASHINGTON — With little to play for other than finishing above .500, the Washington Nationals used a lineup of rookies and reserves and still managed to beat the San Francisco Giants, who rested Barry Bonds and missed a chance to gain ground in the NL West. Yankees 7, Orioles 6 NEW YORK — Jorge Posada hit a tying home run in the fifth inning, then added a three-run, upper-deck drive in the sixth and New York beat Baltimore 7-6 on Thursday night. A night after moving past the Boston Red Sox to take over first place in the AL East for the first time since July 18, the Yankees won for the 10th time in 11 games and opened a season-high one-game lead with 10 remaining. Mike Mussina (13-8) pitched for the first time since Aug. 29, when he left a start at Seattle with elbow inflammation. Blue Jays 7, Mariners 5 TORONTO — Toronto’s Alex Rios broke a tie with a two-run homer in the eighth off Joel Pineiro (7-10). Rios went 2-for-4 and drove in three runs. Justin Speier (3-2) pitched a scoreless eighth for the victory. Miguel Batista got the last two outs of the ninth for his 29th save. Nelson said of their region rivals. According to Nelson, Gautier goes into the game with 40 players, about six less than when the season began with some leaving because of post storm conditions and some leaving for other reasons. Although D’Iberville has not played for three weeks the two teams did exchange preseason game tapes, including a 24-20 Warriors’ win over Harrison Central. “That was a big game for t hem ,” Nelson sa id . “D’Iberville always has a good defense, they just get after you pretty good.” Although the storm has caused some disruptions in the Gautier players’ lives, Nelson says they were coping really well and concentrating when need on football. “We’ve got a pretty group of kids left,” Nelson said. “They work real hard. Like I said before, you’ll never hear me make excuses about what’s going on.” Greene County (1-1) at Collins (1-1), 7 p.m. Greene County and Collins have an exciting and recent history against each other the last four seasons. Greene County and Collins have meet each year since 2002, including twice in the playoffs. Collins handed Greene County its only loss in the 2002 season, but Greene County returned the favor in 2003 on its way to a 3A state championship. The two teams meet under new circumstances this season as they are now together in Region 8-3A. Greene County enters the contest ranked No. 4 in the 3A ranks, while Collins sits at No. 7 in the poll. JR. Wittner, Josh Johnson and Pat Kelly can be reached at [email protected] or (251) 219-5553. Toronto scored five runs in the first. Vernon Wells hit an RBI single, Corey Koskie a run-scoring double, Rios and Gabe Gross hit RBI singles and Aaron Hill added a sacrifice fly. Indians 11, Royals 6 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Travis Hafner hit his sixth home run in five games and Coco Crisp added a two-run shot to lead Cleveland past Kansas City 11-6 on Thursday night, moving the streaking Indians within 1 1/2 games of first-place Chicago in the AL Central. Prep From Page 1-B yard interception return. “We have a long way to go this season and we are just trying to get better each week,” Bloomfield said. “We have to work on the little things a little more, but we can still reach our goal of making the playoffs.” D’Iberville (1-0) at Gautier (1-1), 7 p.m. Gautier head football coach Don Nelson hopes to have a little edge over D’Iberville tonight, when the two teams meet at War Memorial Stadium in Pascagoula. D’Iberville has not played a game in 24 days because of conditions following Hurricane Katrina. “They’ve been kind of displaced,” Nelson said. “Hopefully, we will have an edge on them.” Gautier and D’Iberville have played nine times over the eight last year’s with Gautier leading the series 6-3, bu t Nelson sa id D’Iberville is always a tough opponent. “They kind of ruled the roost until we came along,” Building Supply & Brickyard “ Fo r A l l Yo u r B u i l d i n g N e e d s ” WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR ALL YOUR BUILDING MATERIAL NEEDS!
